When I sat down on the coach, an elderly gray - haired man    1    and asked if he could sit beside me. "Of course!" He looked    2   , so I avoided eye contact as he settled. "Hi, I'm Sam." I awkwardly offered my right hand. "... George." He paused before accepting it. Then, our chat took off. Charles had never left the country or rarely talked to strangers, while I, a third - culture kid, grew up with friends from around the world. As we learned more about each other, we both seemed to    3   . Listening to George, I felt thankful for his    4   , age contrast notwithstanding. It's often our experiences that    5    us, not age. Our conversation was interrupted by my growling stomach. I took out a sandwich and handed George another one. "Would you eat with me?" At first, he refused in shock. But the determination on my face must have been very persuasive. After a moment's hesitation, he accepted it. As silence settled in, I felt myself falling asleep. The sudden tap on my shoulder made me    6    in my seat. It was George, ready to get off the bus. As I extended my hand for a final handshake, he    7    it in both of his, looking directly at me, his eyes full of    8   . "Thank you for being so kind to me. Safe travels." Looking outside, I realized that I had    9    shown generosity to this old man, who had probably never been offered food by a stranger. If I felt this good simply because I had unconsciously brightened someone's day, I wonder how wonderful it would feel to show strangers kindness with    10   . 1.A. stepped B. wandered C. returned D. approached 2.A. excited B. nervous C. confused D. confident 3.A. relax B. focus C. worry D. hesitate 4.A. guidance B. wisdom C. honesty D. company 5.A. create B. shape C. discover D. control 6.A. shoot up B. sit back C. bend down D. stretch out 7.A. waved B. supported C. cupped D. balanced 8.A. hope B. gratitude C. pride D. curiosity 9.A. consistently B. purposely C. accidentally D. thoughtfully 10.A. intention B. sympathy C. inspiration D. expectation 第二节（共10小题：每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 A The next morning, the two girls    11    (rise) early to take the train to Lake Louise, passing through the Canadian Rockies.    12    (see) from the train window, the mountains and forests of Canada looked massive. When the train arrived at the station, they took a taxi to Lake Louise, where the blue water literally took their breath away with its    13    (exception) beauty. They spent the night, and then took a coach bound north through the Canadian Rockies to Jasper.    14    (look) at the beautiful scenery, they both agreed that it was the most awesome journey they had ever taken. 3 The skin is an essential part of your body and is its largest organ. Your skin acts as a barrier    15    disease, toxins, and the sun's rays.

Pet charity Blue Cross advises planning well in advance so you know that your pet will be comfortable. Family and friends Leaving your pet in the care of a trusted friend or neighbour will give you peace of mind that it will be well cared for. Your pet will be able to stay with them in their home. Things to consider if your pet is staying in another house:  Do they have another dog or pet and will they get on with your pet?  Do they have a garden? Is the garden secure so your pet can't escape? Pet sitter Pet sitters stay in or visit your home to look after your pet while you're away for a fee. This is a good option which allows your pet to stay in a familiar environment and you will receive regular updates. How to find a good pet sitter:  Ask friends and family for recommendations for pet sitters.  Pet sitters don't need a license to work, but reputable ones will be able to show you training and insurance certificates.  Check reviews online from independent review sites. Home boarder Home boarders are people that take pets into their own homes to look after for a fee. How to find a good home boarder:  Check their home has no obvious dangers, like exposed wires, toxic substances and unsecured fences.  Your pet is invited round to get to know the home and meet the family it'll be staying with.  You can easily find and view their license to home board pets from the local council as well as their insurance details and training. Boarding kennels Kennels are an option, but it depends whether your pet is comfortable being left alone in a kennel environment around other pets. How to find a boarding kennel:  Get a personal recommendation, and check the kennel is licensed.  Ask if you can visit before you book.  Ask about insurance cover and the procedure for contacting a vet (兽医). 31.

How can one find a suitable home boarder? A. Call the insurance company. B. Check the license from the local council. C. Check reviews from independent review sites. D. Invite him over to your home and meet your family. 33. Who may find this passage most useful? A. A vet who desires to change his job. B. A man who is considering adopting a dog. C. A couple who are planning to rent a house. D. A pet owner who will take a business trip. B Writing is a bug, and I caught it very early on in life. When my parents cleared their storage room out recently, they found The Story Book Special I wrote when I was nine years old. I couldn't believe my imagination was so wild. Reading it reminded me of how special words had been to me at an early age. It's a feeling that has lasted, through my school years and far, far beyond. At the age of 18, I joined Kent Police and spent twelve years living every little boy's dream of driving cars fast and playing cops and robbers for real. It's safe to say it's a career I'd still be in now, if not for what happened when I was 28. I was a fit man when, unexpectedly, I was diagnosed with an incurable heart disease. It's the disease you hear of when a sportsperson suddenly drops dead on the field of play. But, you know what, it's one of the best things to have happened to me. When this happened, I made a to - do list. At the top of it was to write a full - length, "proper" book. I wrote the first draft of my first novel in three months and loved every minute of the process. I knew this was what I wanted to do, more than anything, and getting into publishing can't be that hard... right? Wrong! As every author knows, brick walls are everywhere, and when you knock one down, there's another one. After a few false starts, I coupled with my wonderful agent, Nicky. We spent eight solid months editing and sent the manuscript off. Once again, we received some dressed - up "no's", until Rachel, an editor I'd really wanted to work with, read it. Her vision for the book is exactly consistent with mine! Now my first novel is optioned for television, and is in the hands of a wonderful production team both here in London, and in Australia where it will be filmed. Writing is what I love, and seeing my little story book from when I was nine really drove it home to me. We don't often get another chance in life, but I was given one when I survived something tragically fatal. Now, with my second chance, I'm giving it the best go I can. 34. How did the author feel when reading The Story Book Special? A. Nervous. B. Relieved. C. Proud. D. Ashamed. 35. After being told he had heart disease, the author decided to ______. A. get a job in publishing B. continue working as a policeman C. pick up a new hobby D. pursue his passion for words 36. What happened when the author acted on his to - do list? A. His first novel was turned down many times. B. He adapted his novel and filmed it in Australia. C. He worked with a co - author to improve the draft. D. His continuous efforts earned Rachel's appreciation. 37. What can we learn from this passage? A. Two heads are better than one. B. A little bit more sums up success. C. It's hard to change one's nature. D. A setback is a setup for a comeback. C Too Much Information Computer hackers, in order to get more secret information, constantly improve at breaking into cyberdefenses (网络防御系统) to steal valuable documents. So some researchers propose using an artificial - intelligence algorithm (算法) to hopelessly confuse them, once they break in, by hiding the real deal in a mountain of misleading documents and information. The algorithm, called Word Embedding - based Fake Online Repository Generation Engine (WE - FORGE), creates decoys of patents under development. If hackers were after, say, the recipe for a new drug, they would have to find the relevant needle in a sea of false documents. This could mean checking each recipe in detail—and perhaps investing in a few dead - end ones. “The name of the game here is, ‘Make it harder,’” explains V. S Subrahmanian, its developer, Dartmouth College Cyber Security researcher. “Pain those stealing from you.” Subrahmanian says he tackled this project after reading that companies are unaware of new kinds of cyberattacks for an average of 312 days after they begin. “Hackers have almost a year to decamp with all our documents, patents and intellectual property,” he says. “They have stolen almost everything. It’s not just the crown jewels—it’s the crown jewels, and the jewels of the cleaning lady, and the watch of the secretary!” The documents produced by WE - FORGE could also act as hidden traps to confuse hackers, says Rachel Tobac, CEO of SocialProof Security. These documents might alert security when accessed. Companies have typically used human - created false copies for this strategy. But now the algorithm is able to do that for us. The system produces convincing traps by searching through a document for key words. For each one it finds, it calculates a list of related concepts and replaces the original term with one chosen at random. The process can produce dozens of documents that contain no patent information but still look credible. Subrahmanian and his team asked computer science and chemistry graduates to evaluate real and false patents from their respective fields. And the humans found the WE - FORGE - created documents highly believable. WE - FORGE might eventually expand its boundary. Both Subrahmanian and Tobac think this research will attract commercial interest. “I could definitely see an organization investing in this type of product,” Tobac says. “If this creates believable decoys without releasing sensitive details within those traps, then I think you’ve got a huge win there.” 38. What does the underlined word “decoys” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Misleading documents. B. Original terms. C. Computer operating systems. D. Cyber securities. 39. In Paragraph 3, what Subrahmanian says indicates ______. A. the unreliability of the network B. the wealth of the companies C. the greediness of hackers D. the variety of intellectual property 40. What can we learn about WE - FORGE? A. It will sound alarm upon being operated. B. It is profitable for the users by avoiding their loss. C. It has attracted investors for its application in many fields. D. It can compose irrelevant concepts in the false documents. D The science of our age is computational. Without models, simulations (模拟), statistical analysis, data storage and so on, our knowledge of the world would grow far more slowly. The late philosopher Paul Humphreys called this the “hybrid scenario” of science, where parts of the scientific process are assigned to computers. He also identified an “automated scenario”, where computers take over science completely. If such a scenario ever arrives, we would see a strange world indeed — the computational capacities for scientific reasoning, data processing, model - making and theorizing would far surpass our own abilities to the point that we humans are no longer needed. AI or artificial superintelligences may decide to explore scientific interests that human scientists are unmotivated to pursue, creating whole new paths of discovery. They might even gain knowledge about the world that lies beyond what our brains are capable of understanding. If the results of the completely automated scenario are beyond our comprehension, then why would we want to devote economic resources and intellectual talent towards its development? One reason may be that we think positive advancements will follow. A different reason would be aesthetic (美学的). There is something aesthetically pleasing in knowing that the world is being known, studied and understood. Alternatively, humanity might pursue the automated scenario out of beneficence: We think it would be good for the artificial superintelligences to pursue their own advanced science. Equally as many are those reasons why we might decide not to pursue the automated scenario. Perhaps, the discoveries the artificial superintelligence makes would generate new and terrible weapons. Perhaps, it's simply the concern that some of the superintelligences will begin to experiment in ways that are dangerous, immoral or contrary to humanity's shared values. So, what will we do? In Humphreys's original presentation of the automated scenario, he suggested that the automated scenario would replace human science. Broader considerations point elsewhere. Our desires for understanding, explanation, knowledge and control will remain, and we cannot help but take action to address those desires — to continue to do science. We humans create beautiful things, pursue interhuman connection in friendship and romance, and find and construct meaning in life. The same holds true for our motivations for science. We will be stuck with our curiosity to understand and explain the natural world around us. If the automated scenario comes to pass, it seems that it will have to be as some new, alternative, secondary path — not a replacement, but an addition. Two species, pursuing science side by side, with different motivations, interests, frameworks and theories. Indeed, if we are to remain human, we must continue to pursue science. What are we, really, if we are not beauty - seeking, friendship - making, meaning - constructing, hopelessly curious animals? 41. What is the key difference between the hybrid and automated scenarios? A. The range of machine domination. B. The level of computing efficiency. C. The pace of scientific discovery. D. The depth of human understanding. 42. As for Humphreys's argument in Paragraph 5, the author is ______. A. appreciative B. uncertain C. submissive D. unfavorable 43. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Scientific motivation is unique to humans. B. Humanity's - shared values need to be changed. C. Discoveries by AI might push past human boundaries. D. Humans should define the framework for AI development. 44. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Science plays a decisive role in who we are. B. The desire for scientific inquiry is here to stay. C. The automated scenario is bound to materialize (成为现实). D. Humanity and machines work towards the same goal. 第二节 七选五（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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars." ______45______ Darkness and fear may cloud our vision, but moments of light — like flashes in a storm — reveal that our goals and dreams remain. When overwhelmed by uncertainty, helplessness often takes over. Yet, as Thich Naht Hanh teaches, "The only way out is in." 46 Positive psychology shows that trusting yourself depends on cultivating inner peace and recognizing your character strengths. Researchers studied 16,716 individuals from over 50 countries to understand traits linked to self - trust during uncertainty. They found that those with strong trust consistently reported greater inner peace. This group excelled in three emotional character strengths — gratitude, love, and hope. 47 Gratitude, the most studied of the three, is particularly powerful. It focuses on what has already happened, requiring no invention or manipulation. 48 Instead of recalling only average events, asking for "three things you were grateful for yesterday" directs the brain to retrieve positive experiences. Over time, this reshapes our perspective, helping us savor moments and feel better. Daily challenges — political, financial, or personal — are unavoidable, but they need not consume us. By practicing gratitude, we train our minds to notice what uplifts us. This shift in perception fosters self - trust, reminding us that peace and strength lie within. 49 Savor (尽情享受) them. This simple practice opens the door to inner peace, proving that storms may rage, but stars still shine. With gratitude comes self - trust, and with self - trust comes a life of resilience and meaning. A. Practicing gratitude changes how our brain searches memories. B. This reminds us that even in difficult times, we can find guidance and hope. C. Inner strength allows us to shift our focus inward, finding calm amid chaos. D. Try it now: recall three experiences from the last 24 hours that made you grateful. E. They promote harmony and resilience, and importantly, they can be taught and developed. F. These strengths are valuable as they arise naturally in times of crisis and play a vital role in hardship. G. It mainly helps people forget negative experiences, allowing the brain to erase unpleasant memories over time. 第三部分 书面表达（共一节，12分） 第一节 阅读表达（共4小题；第50、51题各2分，第52题3分，第53题5分，共12分） If you feel like you may be a people - pleaser, you're not alone. In today's highly - connected world, we have a growing obsession (痴迷) with being liked and needing to please others. People seek to please others for various reasons, including avoiding conflicts, securing feelings of being needed, and reducing fears of abandonment. And they are forced to use agreeableness as self - defense. People - pleasing behavior can lead to mental and physical health problems such as fear of rejection, frustration, anger, addictions, headaches, stomach problems, and high blood pressure. It can also result in weak boundaries, problems with decision - making and dependency. Therefore, it's important to recognize and overcome your own people - pleasing behaviors. Here are some simple exercises that you can start working on today. Learn to love your own company. Trust that people will not abandon you, even if you don't drop everything for them. Believing you are lovable for who you are, not what you do, means knowing that people will still be there for you even if you do not always search for ways to please them. Practice this by going to a movie or restaurant alone. Value the plans made with yourself. They are as important as plans you make with other people. Otherwise, you are sending a message to your brain that a plan you make with yourself does not hold as much value. Don't break long - or short - term plans you make with yourself, whether it's going to the gym or studying for an exam. Say “no” when necessary. If you're a people - pleaser, you may find it hard to say “no” because you feel it comes across as cruel or uncaring. But it absolutely does not have to. Be clear, be direct, and use “I” statements. Try statements like: “I would really love to be able to help you, but unfortunately, I'm already committed at that time.” By consistently integrating these strategies into your life, you'll break your people - pleasing habits and develop more healthy, interdependent relationships. 50. What is a people - pleaser like? 51. Besides mental and physical problems, what other problems may a people - pleaser suffer from? 52. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ⇢ If you don't want to be a people - pleaser, you should love being with others, value the plans made with yourself, and decline others' requests when necessary. 53. What do you think of the behavior of pleasing others? (In about 40 words) 试卷答案 第一部分 知识运用 第一节（每小题1.5分，共15分） 1. D 2. B 3. A 4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 8. B 9. C 10. A 第二节（每小题1.5分，共15分） 11. arose 12.
