C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个各具特色的山地度假胜地。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Massanutten Resort部分中“Guests can enjoy indoor and outdoor water parks, as well as mountain bike trails (小路) and escape room games.(客人可以享受室内和室外水上乐园，还有山地自行车道和密室逃脱游戏)”可知，Massanutten Resort提供水上乐园这类水上活动，想要进行水上活动的游客可以选择这里。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Big Sky Resort部分中“This Montana ski resort prides itself on short lift lines and high-tech chairlifts (缆椅), including an eight-seat lift with heated seats and weatherproof covers.(这个蒙大拿州的滑雪胜地以其短缆车队伍和高科技缆椅为荣，包括一个带加热座椅和防风雨罩的八人座缆车)”可知，Big Sky Resort的优势在于其高效(短缆车队伍)且现代化的高科技缆椅。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Massanutten Resort部分中“What’s more, visitors can enjoy skiing, snow tubing and snowboarding every winter.(更重要的是，游客们每年冬天都可以享受滑雪、雪圈和单板滑雪的乐趣)”，Big Sky Resort部分中“Big Sky Resort, which sits about 60 miles northwest of Yellowstone National Park, attracts skiers with its 400 inches of average annual snowfall that blankets its 5, 850 skiable acres.(位于黄石国家公园西北约60英里的Big Sky度假村，以其年均400英寸的降雪量覆盖着5850英亩的可滑雪区域，吸引着滑雪者)”，Deer Valley Resort部分中“Come in the winter, Deer Valley becomes a snow-filled playground ideal for skiing, snowmobiling and even dog-sledding.(到了冬天，鹿谷变成了一个充满雪的游乐场，是滑雪、雪地摩托甚至狗拉雪橇的理想场所)”以及Suncadia Resort部分中“Suncadia Resort offers a wealth of outdoor activities including cross-country skiing, ice skating, biking and horseback riding.(Suncadia度假村提供丰富的户外活动，包括越野滑雪、滑冰、骑自行车和骑马)”可知，这四个度假胜地的共同点是都是滑雪的好去处。故选C项。 B In February 2024, Tejasvi, then a 16-year-old junior, was driving home with her father when she noticed five missed calls from her grandfather. The 85-year-old man had received an urgent email from his little son, asking for $2,000 to settle an unexpected debt. Given the emergency, Tejasvi’s grandfather was prepared to transfer the funds — but her father stopped him and called his brother to see if the request was legal. “I never asked for money.” was the response. It was a near miss for the unsuspecting senior. The fact that criminals should seek to take advantage of an old man’s lack of knowledge about the workings of the Internet galled Tejasvi. How could they! When she got home she went to her room and immediately began researching how common such scams (欺诈) are. They turn out to be very common. In 2024, the Internet Crime Complaint Center received nearly 860,000 reports of scams, with potential losses exceeding $16 billion. Acts of cheating targeting people over the age of 60 reached nearly $5 billion. Older Americans clearly need protection, and Tejasvi was determined to provide it. Within the year she built and launched Shield Seniors, a website designed to educate the elderly about what online scams look like, analyze suspicious emails and messages users upload, and, if the communications prove to be a cheat, provide links to report them. The site is currently available in a private preview mode only, but is — like its creator — making itself known. After the launch of Shield Seniors, Tejasvi was recognized with an honorable mention in the 2024 Congressional App Challenge, delivered talks about the need to build “digital bridges” for all, and made appearances at assisted living facilities to talk about her website and teach the elderly about online scams. “Just check up on your loved ones,” Tejasvi said. “Make sure that they’re staying safe online.” 4. What happened to Tejasvi’s grandfather? A. He missed several urgent calls. B. He got involved in an online scam. C. His son urged him to repay the debt. D. His savings were transferred illegally. 5. What does the underlined word “galled” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Annoyed. B. Inspired. C. Impressed. D. Frightened. 6. What can be inferred about Shield Seniors? A. It teaches common sense. B. It receives public attention. C. It’s been widely employed. D. It’s gained government aid. 7. Which words can best describe Tejasvi? A. Innovative and caring. B. Cautious and insightful. C. Ambitious and sensible. D. Considerate and brave. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了16岁的Tejasvi发现祖父险些遭遇网络诈骗后，深受触动并创建了Shield Seniors网站，帮助老年人防范网络诈骗，她也因此获得了社会认可。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The 85-year-old man had received an urgent email from his little son, asking for $2,000 to settle an unexpected debt. Given the emergency, Tejasvi’s grandfather was prepared to transfer the funds — but her father stopped him and called his brother to see if the request was legal. “I never asked for money.” was the response.(这位85岁的老人收到小儿子的一封紧急电子邮件，要求他支付2000美元以解决一笔意外债务。考虑到情况紧急，Tejasvi的祖父准备转账——但她的父亲阻止了他，并打电话给他的兄弟，询问这个要求是否合法。“我从未要求过钱。”对方回复道。)”以及第二段中的“It was a near miss for the unsuspecting senior.(这位毫无戒心的老人险些中招。)”可知，Tejasvi的祖父差点陷入网络诈骗，即他卷入了一场网络诈骗。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“The fact that criminals should seek to take advantage of an old man's lack of knowledge about the workings of the Internet galled Tejasvi. How could they!(罪犯竟想利用一位老人对互联网运作方式的无知，这galled Tejasvi。他们怎么能这样！)”可知，Tejasvi对于罪犯利用老人对互联网的无知进行诈骗的行为感到非常生气和恼怒。由此可推知，“galled”意思是“使恼怒、使生气”，与“Annoyed”意思相近。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The site is currently available in a private preview mode only, but is — like its creator — making itself known.(该网站目前仅以私人预览模式提供，但就像它的创建者一样，正在让自己为人所知。)”以及第四段中的“After the launch of Shield Seniors, Tejasvi was recognized with an honorable mention in the 2024Congressional App Challenge, delivered talks about the need to build “digital bridges” for all, and made appearances at assisted living facilities to talk about her website and teach the elderly about online scams.(Shield Seniors网站推出后，Tejasvi在2024年国会应用挑战赛中获得荣誉提名，她就为所有人搭建“数字桥梁”的必要性发表了演讲，并出现在辅助生活设施中，谈论她的网站并教老年人如何识别网络诈骗。)”可推知，Shield Seniors网站正在逐渐获得公众的关注。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Within the year she built and launched Shield Seniors, a website designed to educate the elderly about what online scams look like, analyze suspicious emails and messages users upload, and, if the communications prove to be a cheat, provide links to report them.(在这一年里，她建立并推出了Shield Seniors网站，该网站旨在教育老年人识别网络诈骗的样子，分析用户上传的可疑电子邮件和信息，如果这些通信被证明是诈骗，则提供举报链接。)”以及第四段中的“After the launch of Shield Seniors, Tejasvi was recognized with an honorable mention in the 2024 Congressional App Challenge, delivered talks about the need to build “digital bridges” for all, and made appearances at assisted living facilities to talk about her website and teach the elderly about online scams.(Shield Seniors网站推出后，Tejasvi在2024年国会应用挑战赛中获得荣誉提名，她就为所有人搭建“数字桥梁”的必要性发表了演讲，并出现在辅助生活设施中，谈论她的网站并教老年人如何识别网络诈骗。)”可推知，Tejasvi创建网站帮助老年人，说明她有爱心，关心他人；同时她能想到创建网站来应对网络诈骗问题，说明她有创新精神。所以“有创新精神的和有爱心的”最能描述Tejasvi。故选A项。 C “When AI videos are just as good as normal videos, I wonder what that will do to short video platforms and how that will impact the millions of creators currently making content for a living. There must be scary times,” an influential content creator, Jimmy Donaldson, said. Donaldson’s concerns follow the release of a social media platform able to generate short-form AI videos, including videos of individuals who “upload” themselves onto the app. Other content creators have also spoken out about the consequences of platforms where every video is from AI. Still, Donaldson hasn’t shied away from having a go at the technology. In July, Donaldson made a tool providing AI-generated thumbnails (缩略图) to the public, but removed the feature about a week later after heavy criticism from other creators. He said he would replace the tool with links to human artists accepting commissions. “I care more than any of you could ever imagine about the community,” he said in a video. “It makes me deeply sad when I do something that people in the community are angry at.” Online content creators are torn between using AI-generated video content and keeping away from AIcreation. While more than 80% of content creators said they used AI tools for their content, including generating images and videos, one-third said they had concerns about the quality of the AI-generated content, and 45% said the technology would make it harder for human creators to stand out, according to a survey of 620 influencers. Not everyone sees AI as a bad thing for content creators. Amjad Hanif, a head of creator payments and products, said that the technology could help level the playing field among creators who may not have the same resources as Donaldson. “A lot of the effects — the visual quality, the visual imagery — are tricky. Up until now it’s taken an expert team to be able to produce them,” Hanif said. “AI is going to make that available to a much broader group of creators.” 8. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. AI will pose challenges to creators. B. AI boosts the spread of short videos. C. AI has replaced human creators online. D. AI downloads information of users. 9. Why was Donaldson criticized? A. He advocated AI videos. B. He created an AI tool. C. He publicized his videos. D. He disrespected human artists. 10. Why does the author mention the survey in paragraph 3? A. To support Donaldson’s concern. B. To exhibit public recognition of AI. C. To show creators’ mixed feelings. D. To stress the negative impact of AI. 11. What is the advantage of AI according to Amjad Hanif? A. It helps create equal opportunity. B. It standardizes short video creation. C. It increases the payments for creators. D. It improves the special visual effects. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍AI短视频出现后，内容创作者对其的复杂态度，以及不同人对AI给创作者带来的影响的不同看法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When AI videos are just as good as normal videos, I wonder what that will do to short video platforms and how that will impact the millions of creators currently making content for a living. There must be scary times,” an influential content creator, Jimmy Donaldson, said. (“当人工智能视频和普通视频一样好时，我想知道这会对短视频平台产生什么影响，以及这会如何影响数百万目前以创作内容为生的创作者。那一定会是可怕的时期，”有影响力的内容创作者吉米·唐纳森说。)”和“Other content creators have also spoken out about the consequences of platforms where every video is from AI. (其他内容创作者也公开表示了对所有视频都来自人工智能的平台的后果的看法。)”可知，作者在第一段指出了人工智能将给内容创作者带来挑战这一现象。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In July, Donaldson made a tool providing AI-generated thumbnails (缩略图) to the public, but removed the feature about a week later after heavy criticism from other creators. (今年7月，唐纳森向公众推出了一款提供人工智能生成缩略图的工具，但在受到其他创作者的严厉批评后，大约一周后就删除了该功能。)”可知，唐纳森因为创建了一款人工智能工具而受到批评。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Online content creators are torn between using AI-generated video content and keeping away from AI creation. While more than 80% of content creators said they used AI tools for their content, including generating images and videos, one-third said they had concerns about the quality of the AI-generated content, and 45% said the technology would make it harder for human creators to stand out, according to a survey of 620 influencers. (在线内容创作者在使用人工智能生成的视频内容和远离人工智能创作之间左右为难。一项针对620位有影响力人士的调查显示，超过80%的内容创作者表示他们使用人工智能工具创作内容，包括生成图片和视频，三分之一的人表示他们担心人工智能生成内容的质量，45%的人表示这项技术会让人类创作者更难脱颖而出。)”可知，作者提到调查是为了展示内容创作者对人工智能的复杂情感——既使用又有担忧。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Amjad Hanif, a head of creator payments and products, said that the technology could help level the playing field among creators who may not have the same resources as Donaldson. (创作者支付和产品负责人阿姆贾德·哈尼夫表示，这项技术有助于为那些可能没有唐纳森那样资源的创作者创造公平的竞争环境。)”可知，阿姆贾德·哈尼夫认为人工智能的优势是帮助创作者创造平等的机会。故选A项。 D If we can fully map the structure of our brains, will we be able to understand how they work? That is the goal of researchers attempting to build a wiring diagram, or connectome (连接组), of our neural (神经的) pathways. The researchers led by Sophie Dvali at Princeton University looked at the connectome of a thin, tube-shaped worm, and compared it with a record of the worm’s neural signals, which they collected by stimulating each neuron and tracking how the signal it sent out moved through the connectome. This is possible in the worm because it has only around 300 neurons in its entire nervous system, meaning a not complicated system. By treating the two datasets as mathematical networks, the team could determine whether groups of neurons that are very closely interconnected in the connectome also tend to exchange a large number of signals. They found that this isn't always the case. Dvali says that there were some examples of overlap (重叠) between high connection and signal exchange, such as for groups of neurons responsible for how the worm eats, where the two networks matched really well, or neurons involved in how it moves backwards, an important movement for a worm escaping danger. In the latter case, the neurons were very connected in both networks though not in an identical way. But, more generally, there were enough differences and the team says the connectome of an organism isn’t enough to predict all of its behavior. Team member Andrew Leifer says the difference may be because signals between neurons don’t always take the shortest path, and that there are also known cases where neurons can communicate in ways beyond the “wires” that connect them. “We’re used to using the neural map to guide our research, and often it’s very helpful and informative, but in many cases there are so many connections that we wish we had more information,” he says. Next, the researchers want to expand their study to account for how signals spread through the connectome when multiple neurons get stimulated at once, and to look at more complex animals like a fruit fly, which has the largest whole-brain connectome described to date. 12. What is Dvali’s team trying to do? A. Draw a wiring diagram of the brain. B. Study how neural signals are exchanged. C. Find out how worms eat and move. D. Connect the brain structure and behavior. 13. Why did the researchers experiment on the worm? A. Its nervous system is simple. B. A detailed connectome is found in it. C. Its neural signals are obvious. D. Lots of previous records are about it. 14. What did the researchers find about the connectome? A. It’s insufficient to explain acts. B. It varies with the species. C. It's more informative than expected. D. It matches paths of signals. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Across the brain? B. Between the neurons? C. Beyond the map? D. Around the shortest way? 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了普林斯顿大学研究团队对生物神经连接组的研究，发现仅靠神经连接图谱不足以完全预测生物行为，为神经科学研究提供了新的视角。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“If we can fully map the structure of our brains, will we be able to understand how they work? That is the goal of researchers attempting to build a wiring diagram, or connectome (连接组), of our neural (神经的) pathways.(如果我们能完全绘制出大脑的结构图，我们就能理解大脑是如何工作的吗？这就是研究人员试图绘制我们神经通路线路图或连接组的目标。)”以及第三段中的“But, more generally, there were enough differences and the team says the connectome of an organism isn’t enough to predict all of its behavior.(但更普遍的是，存在足够的差异，研究小组表示，生物体的连接组不足以预测其所有行为。)”可知，Dvali的团队试图将大脑结构与行为联系起来，研究大脑结构与行为之间的关系。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This is possible in the worm because it has only around 300 neurons in its entire nervous system, meaning a not complicated system.(在蠕虫身上这是可能的，因为它的整个神经系统只有大约300个神经元，这意味着它的系统并不复杂。)”可知，研究人员选择在蠕虫身上做实验是因为它的神经系统很简单。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But, more generally, there were enough differences and the team says the connectome of an organism isn’t enough to predict all of its behavior.(但更普遍的是，存在足够的差异，研究小组表示，生物体的连接组不足以预测其所有行为。)”可知，研究人员发现连接组不足以解释生物体的行为。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Team member Andrew Leifer says the difference may be because signals between neurons don’t always take the shortest path, and that there are also known cases where neurons can communicate in ways beyond the “wires” that connect them. “We’re used to using the neural map to guide our research, and often it’s very helpful and informative, but in many cases there are so many connections that we wish we had more information,” he says.(团队成员Andrew Leifer说，这种差异可能是因为神经元之间的信号并不总是走最短的路径，而且也有已知的情况表明，神经元可以通过连接它们的“电线”以外的方式进行交流。他说：“我们习惯于用神经图来指导我们的研究，这通常很有帮助，也很有信息量，但在很多情况下，连接太多了，我们希望能得到更多的信息。”)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了研究人员通过研究蠕虫的连接组和神经信号，发现连接组不足以预测生物体的所有行为，因为神经元之间的信号传播并不总是遵循连接组的路径，神经元之间还有其他的交流方式，所以仅仅依靠连接组这张“地图”是不够的，还需要更多的信息。因此，C选项“Beyond the map?(超越地图？)”最符合文章主旨，适合用作标题。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Salt and pepper shakers are often ignored as decorative or unnecessary but they serve several purposes. The main benefit is cleanliness. Open bowls of salt, no matter how delicate they look, invite people to use it with their fingers or spoons. When I see guests do this, I’m always nervous of the possible bacteria in there. ____16____. There’s also the matter of presentation. When the dinners with guests are over, details count. Well-chosen shakers beautify the table, while plastic or glass supermarket containers look temporary and out of place. My wife Debbie thinks it’s funny, but I like to display everything for aesthetics (美感). ____17____, but they do help create an atmosphere, and small touches matter. Convenience is another factor. Shakers are designed for speed and consistency. A quick shake gives just the right amount without measuring. ____18____. Shakers would occupy the same space that the supermarket containers do, but they’d help us limit the amount of salt in our meal, which helps keep the dishes both delicious and healthy. ____19____. Debbie doesn’t really care, but she once expressed an interest in some antique Victorian silver ones, which I’m open to. However, I’d like to see her show more interest in our purchase, as she will be using them too. Proper shakers combine cleanliness, presentation, and convenience in a way that open bowls and plastic containers can’t. ____20____. Debbie should be grateful she has a partner who cares so deeply about the little things. A. So I put a cover on each of them B. I’ve ruined many dishes, by over-salting C. People might not comment on these little details D. I want wooden ones to match our kitchen counters E. They are small but enhance the feel of a shared home F. The plastic supermarket shakers do the job perfectly well G. A shaker, on the other hand, keeps it covered and well prepared 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. B 19. D 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，作者从卫生、美观、方便控量三个方面论述了盐罐和胡椒罐的实用价值，并表达了自己对餐具风格的偏好，强调小物件虽不起眼，却能提升生活质感与家庭氛围。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Open bowls of salt, no matter how delicate they look, invite people to use it with their fingers or spoons. When I see guests do this, I’m always nervous of the possible bacteria in there.(盛放食盐的敞口碗，无论看上去多么精致，都会引得人们用手指或勺子直接取用。每当看到客人这样做时，我总会担心里面可能滋生细菌)”可知，此处对比敞口盐碗和调味瓶。G选项“A shaker, on the other hand, keeps it covered and well prepared(而调味瓶则能把盐盖好并保持其状态良好，随时可用)”形成对比，符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据上文“My wife Debbie thinks it’s funny, but I like to display everything for aesthetics (美感).(我的妻子Debbie觉得这挺有趣的，但我喜欢为了美感摆放所有东西)”以及下文“but they do help create an atmosphere, and small touches matter.(但它们确实有助于营造一种氛围，一些细微的元素也很重要)”可知，空格处表示人们可能不会留意这些细节。C选项“People might not comment on these little details(人们可能不会评价这些小细节)”与下文构成转折，符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据前文“A quick shake gives just the right amount without measuring.(轻轻一摇，不用量，就能倒出刚刚好的量)”以及下文“Shakers would occupy the same space that the supermarket containers do, but they’d help us limit the amount of salt in our meal, which helps keep the dishes both delicious and healthy.(调味瓶和超市买的（塑料）容器占用的空间一样大，但它能帮我们控制饭菜里的盐量，让菜肴既美味又健康)”可知，空处应说放盐过多的问题。B选项“I’ve ruined many dishes, by over-salting(我曾因放盐太多毁了很多菜)”引出控盐的必要性，符合语境。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Debbie doesn’t really care, but she once expressed an interest in some antique Victorian silver ones, which I’m open to.(黛比其实并不在意，但她曾对一些维多利亚时期的古董银质调味瓶表现出兴趣，对此我也欣然接受)”可知，本段在说想要的款式。D选项“I want wooden ones to match our kitchen counters(我想要木质的来搭配厨房台面)”符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Proper shakers combine cleanliness, presentation, and convenience in a way that open bowls and plastic containers can’t.(合用的调味瓶集洁净、美观、便捷于一身，这是敞口碗和塑料容器无法比拟的)”可知，空格处总结其价值。E选项“They are small but enhance the feel of a shared home(它们虽小，却能提升家的氛围)”总结全文，符合语境。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 As wildfires continued to rage across Southern California, rescuers were working ___21___ to save not just ___22___ but also the innocent animals caught in the disaster. Kalyna Fedorowycz, a 16-year-old equestrian (马术骑手), turned up to rescue a horse named Sovereignty, which was ___23___ by its owner because it was too scared to get aboard the transport truck. After finding the horse still at the farm, Kalyna became ___24___ about it. “We’ve got to get him out of here,” she said. She could only think of one solution: ___25___ the horse and leading it to safety. In the now-viral video taken by her father, Fedorowycz was trying to ___26___ the horse away from the area — sometimes ___27___, other times walking or jogging beside it, while ___28___ stroking the horse’s neck. She remained ___29___ and patiently led Sovereignty through high winds, clouds of smoke, fallen trees, and more on the14-mile journey. One TikTok user ____30____, “I don’ t think most people realize how ____31____ something like this is. This was so brave, and I have much ____32____ for you.” Horses and other animals are always in danger when wildfires tear through their habitats.

The classroom suddenly got filled with eager voices as classmates enthusiastically shared their dreams. “I want to be a college professor,” said Sarah confidently. “I dream of becoming a basketball player,” exclaimed Mike with light in his eye. The air was filled with dreams of doctors, nurses, bank accountants, and various professions. When Mrs. Thompson turned her attention to me, inquiring about my future career, I hesitated. “I don’t know yet,” I admitted. Then she asked if I wished to follow in my dad’s footsteps. “No,” I responded firmly. My dad is a distinguished doctor with a demanding schedule, who often finds himself engaged in the responsibilities of his job. Thus, he often returns home late in the evening. The limited time we spent together during my upbringing created a noticeable distance in our relationship. I had such a lot to complain about his job and thus being a doctor would be the last option I would take. After hearing my answer, Mrs. Thompson didn’t make any comment. Instead, she advised me to think more about that. A turning point came when our school decided to stage a New Year’s play. It was the grandest event of the year, and we had been preparing for it for a long time. Preparing for our roles, I needed to buy costume. Unfortunately, my mom had to travel to another city for work, so it fell upon my dad to accompany me. Reluctantly (不情愿地), Iagreed, realizing there was no other option. In the mall, it became evident that my dad was clueless about the items on the shopping list. Despite Mom providing a detailed list, we wandered through different floors, in and out between different shops before finally getting everything we needed. And I was getting more and more uncomfortable. Suddenly, a chaos drew our attention. A crowd had gathered, and someone was shouting for help. It turned out that an elderly customer had a fall, and onlookers were at a loss on how to assist. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My dad rushed forward. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Witnessing the scene there, I suddenly realized the value of my dad’s work. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】one possible version My dad rushed forward. And I followed suit. “Stay calm, everyone. We need to act quickly,” after he figured out what was going on, he gestured for everyone to remain calm and call emergency services. He started performing first aid, which immediately put those around him at ease. Soon, an ambulance arrived. Thanks to my dad’s timely intervention, the patient regained consciousness, gaining crucial time for further treatment. Then the patient was rushed to the hospital. Witnessing the scene there, I suddenly realized the value of my dad’s work. On the way back home, I thanked Dad, not only for accompanying me to the shopping mall, but also for saving the customer and helping me understand the worth of adult professions. A few days after the play, Mrs. Thompson asked me if I had changed my mind. I replied proudly with a definite “yes,” The journey through the mall had totally reshaped my perspective on the significance of every kind of work and taught me that I should never judge the value of people’s work at will. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述课堂上作者不愿继承父业当医生，因父亲忙碌致关系疏远。新年剧筹备时，与父购物遇老人摔倒，父亲果断施救的专业与担当打动作者，让作者理解其责任，最终愿成为医生。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段内容“父亲立刻冲了过去。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：父亲带作者购物时遇老人摔倒，父亲施救并助其恢复意识，为治疗赢时间，后老人被送医。 ②由第二段首句内容“目睹眼前的情景，我突然明白了父亲工作的价值。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：目睹父亲救人后，作者懂了其工作价值，感谢父亲，改变想法，明白不应随意评判工作价值。 2.续写线索：老人摔倒——父亲施救——明白父亲工作的价值——改变想法——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.弄明白：figure out/understand ②.开始：start/begin ③.拯救：save/rescue 情绪类 ①.冷静的：calm/relaxed/sober ②.自豪地：proudly /in pride 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B In February 2024, Tejasvi, then a 16-year-old junior, was driving home with her father when she noticed five missed calls from her grandfather. The 85-year-old man had received an urgent email from his little son, asking for $2,000 to settle an unexpected debt. Given the emergency, Tejasvi’s grandfather was prepared to transfer the funds — but her father stopped him and called his brother to see if the request was legal. “I never asked for money.” was the response. It was a near miss for the unsuspecting senior. The fact that criminals should seek to take advantage of an old man’s lack of knowledge about the workings of the Internet galled Tejasvi. How could they! When she got home she went to her room and immediately began researching how common such scams (欺诈) are. They turn out to be very common. In 2024, the Internet Crime Complaint Center received nearly 860,000 reports of scams, with potential losses exceeding $16 billion. Acts of cheating targeting people over the age of 60 reached nearly $5 billion. Older Americans clearly need protection, and Tejasvi was determined to provide it. Within the year she built and launched Shield Seniors, a website designed to educate the elderly about what online scams look like, analyze suspicious emails and messages users upload, and, if the communications prove to be a cheat, provide links to report them. The site is currently available in a private preview mode only, but is — like its creator — making itself known. After the launch of Shield Seniors, Tejasvi was recognized with an honorable mention in the 2024 Congressional App Challenge, delivered talks about the need to build “digital bridges” for all, and made appearances at assisted living facilities to talk about her website and teach the elderly about online scams. “Just check up on your loved ones,” Tejasvi said. “Make sure that they’re staying safe online.” 4. What happened to Tejasvi’s grandfather? A. He missed several urgent calls. B. He got involved in an online scam. C. His son urged him to repay the debt. D. His savings were transferred illegally. 5. What does the underlined word “galled” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Annoyed. B. Inspired. C. Impressed. D. Frightened. 6. What can be inferred about Shield Seniors? A. It teaches common sense. B. It receives public attention. C. It’s been widely employed. D. It’s gained government aid. 7. Which words can best describe Tejasvi? A. Innovative and caring. B. Cautious and insightful. C. Ambitious and sensible. D. Considerate and brave. C “When AI videos are just as good as normal videos, I wonder what that will do to short video platforms and how that will impact the millions of creators currently making content for a living. There must be scary times,” an influential content creator, Jimmy Donaldson, said. Donaldson’s concerns follow the release of a social media platform able to generate short-form AI videos, including videos of individuals who “upload” themselves onto the app. Other content creators have also spoken out about the consequences of platforms where every video is from AI. Still, Donaldson hasn’t shied away from having a go at the technology. In July, Donaldson made a tool providing AI-generated thumbnails (缩略图) to the public, but removed the feature about a week later after heavy criticism from other creators. He said he would replace the tool with links to human artists accepting commissions. “I care more than any of you could ever imagine about the community,” he said in a video. “It makes me deeply sad when I do something that people in the community are angry at.” Online content creators are torn between using AI-generated video content and keeping away from AIcreation. While more than 80% of content creators said they used AI tools for their content, including generating images and videos, one-third said they had concerns about the quality of the AI-generated content, and 45% said the technology would make it harder for human creators to stand out, according to a survey of 620 influencers. Not everyone sees AI as a bad thing for content creators. Amjad Hanif, a head of creator payments and products, said that the technology could help level the playing field among creators who may not have the same resources as Donaldson. “A lot of the effects — the visual quality, the visual imagery — are tricky. Up until now it’s taken an expert team to be able to produce them,” Hanif said. “AI is going to make that available to a much broader group of creators.” 8. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. AI will pose challenges to creators. B. AI boosts the spread of short videos. C. AI has replaced human creators online. D. AI downloads information of users. 9. Why was Donaldson criticized? A. He advocated AI videos. B. He created an AI tool. C. He publicized his videos. D. He disrespected human artists. 10. Why does the author mention the survey in paragraph 3? A. To support Donaldson’s concern. B. To exhibit public recognition of AI. C. To show creators’ mixed feelings. D. To stress the negative impact of AI. 11. What is the advantage of AI according to Amjad Hanif? A. It helps create equal opportunity. B. It standardizes short video creation. C. It increases the payments for creators. D. It improves the special visual effects. D If we can fully map the structure of our brains, will we be able to understand how they work? That is the goal of researchers attempting to build a wiring diagram, or connectome (连接组), of our neural (神经的) pathways. The researchers led by Sophie Dvali at Princeton University looked at the connectome of a thin, tube-shaped worm, and compared it with a record of the worm’s neural signals, which they collected by stimulating each neuron and tracking how the signal it sent out moved through the connectome. This is possible in the worm because it has only around 300 neurons in its entire nervous system, meaning a not complicated system. By treating the two datasets as mathematical networks, the team could determine whether groups of neurons that are very closely interconnected in the connectome also tend to exchange a large number of signals. They found that this isn't always the case. Dvali says that there were some examples of overlap (重叠) between high connection and signal exchange, such as for groups of neurons responsible for how the worm eats, where the two networks matched really well, or neurons involved in how it moves backwards, an important movement for a worm escaping danger. In the latter case, the neurons were very connected in both networks though not in an identical way. But, more generally, there were enough differences and the team says the connectome of an organism isn’t enough to predict all of its behavior. Team member Andrew Leifer says the difference may be because signals between neurons don’t always take the shortest path, and that there are also known cases where neurons can communicate in ways beyond the “wires” that connect them. “We’re used to using the neural map to guide our research, and often it’s very helpful and informative, but in many cases there are so many connections that we wish we had more information,” he says. Next, the researchers want to expand their study to account for how signals spread through the connectome when multiple neurons get stimulated at once, and to look at more complex animals like a fruit fly, which has the largest whole-brain connectome described to date. 12. What is Dvali’s team trying to do? A. Draw a wiring diagram of the brain. B. Study how neural signals are exchanged. C. Find out how worms eat and move. D. Connect the brain structure and behavior. 13. Why did the researchers experiment on the worm? A. Its nervous system is simple. B. A detailed connectome is found in it. C. Its neural signals are obvious. D. Lots of previous records are about it. 14. What did the researchers find about the connectome? A. It’s insufficient to explain acts. B. It varies with the species. C. It's more informative than expected. D. It matches paths of signals. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Across the brain? B. Between the neurons? C. Beyond the map? D. Around the shortest way? 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Salt and pepper shakers are often ignored as decorative or unnecessary but they serve several purposes.

When I see guests do this, I’m always nervous of the possible bacteria in there. ____16____. There’s also the matter of presentation. When the dinners with guests are over, details count.

The classroom suddenly got filled with eager voices as classmates enthusiastically shared their dreams. “I want to be a college professor,” said Sarah confidently. “I dream of becoming a basketball player,” exclaimed Mike with light in his eye. The air was filled with dreams of doctors, nurses, bank accountants, and various professions. When Mrs. Thompson turned her attention to me, inquiring about my future career, I hesitated. “I don’t know yet,” I admitted. Then she asked if I wished to follow in my dad’s footsteps. “No,” I responded firmly. My dad is a distinguished doctor with a demanding schedule, who often finds himself engaged in the responsibilities of his job. Thus, he often returns home late in the evening. The limited time we spent together during my upbringing created a noticeable distance in our relationship. I had such a lot to complain about his job and thus being a doctor would be the last option I would take. After hearing my answer, Mrs. Thompson didn’t make any comment. Instead, she advised me to think more about that. A turning point came when our school decided to stage a New Year’s play. It was the grandest event of the year, and we had been preparing for it for a long time. Preparing for our roles, I needed to buy costume. Unfortunately, my mom had to travel to another city for work, so it fell upon my dad to accompany me. Reluctantly (不情愿地), Iagreed, realizing there was no other option. In the mall, it became evident that my dad was clueless about the items on the shopping list. Despite Mom providing a detailed list, we wandered through different floors, in and out between different shops before finally getting everything we needed. And I was getting more and more uncomfortable. Suddenly, a chaos drew our attention. A crowd had gathered, and someone was shouting for help. It turned out that an elderly customer had a fall, and onlookers were at a loss on how to assist. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My dad rushed forward. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Witnessing the scene there, I suddenly realized the value of my dad’s work. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
