It looks like you know the material, but you don’t seem to know how to put it together in essay form. Lots of first-year students struggle with essay exams. It’s a common problem. It’s easy to fix. W: How? What can I do? M: First thing to do when taking any essay exam is to read the questions carefully. Then, immediately write an outline that makes use of any key information that comes to mind. W: An outline? That seems like a waste of time. I’m always anxious to get my answer down, so that I can move on to the next question. M: I understand that feeling, but starting with an outline will actually save you time in the long run. Without a structured plan, your ideas can end up disjointed. This leads to answers that lack a clear beginning, middle and end. They’re just facts that haven’t been connected. W: OK, you’ve convinced me. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17.

A 【解析】 【原文】M: Hello, everyone. Do you know McDonald’s? Well, the McDonald brothers opened their first hamburger restaurant in California in 1940 but within eight years, they closed it down and re-opened as a take-away restaurant. They offered practically no service. For example, you lined up for your food, paid at the counter and took it to your own table or car. They were highly recognized as the first people to invent the idea of fast food. But that wasn’t the only new idea they came up with. They also brought in the entirely new concept of specialization for staff in the kitchen. They had one person cooking the burgers, while another person was doing the milkshakes, and so on. They liked to advertise their sales performance and in 1950 they proudly put up a sign outside their restaurant telling the world that they had sold one million burgers. That doesn’t seem so many nowadays, but in those early days it was quite an achievement. Then in 1961 the brothers decided they’d had enough of the hamburger business so they sold the company for 2.7 million dollars along with the name. Today there is hardly a country in the world where you can not get a McDonald’s hamburger. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Exciting Sports Events to Look Forward to in 2026 2026 will witness a series of splendid international sports events.

He went there, thinking he would only spend a few hours picking up trash and then go home. On his first day at the beach, Jake and other volunteers saw a small sea turtle tangled in plastic netting. The turtle could not move and looked helpless. Working gently and carefully, they slowly cut the netting away and set it free. When the turtle swam back into the clear water, Jake felt a strong sense of purpose. He realized that his small actions could truly help living things in nature and make a real difference. After that, Jake returned to the beach every weekend without delay. He invited his friends to join him and organized regular clean-up events for the whole community. He also gave small talks at school to teach other students about the harm of ocean pollution. Later, he started an environmental club at school to encourage more teenagers to care for the sea and protect wildlife. By the end of the summer, Jake and his club members had cleared more than 500 pounds of rubbish from the beach. Local people and officials were greatly moved by their efforts. The government even built a new recycling center near the beach to reduce waste from reaching the ocean. Jake said that he had learned a meaningful lesson: small actions can create huge influence. He believes that protecting the planet is not just for adults but for everyone, including young students. 24. What was Jake’s feeling when the sea turtle swam back into the water? A.

This discovery offers new insights into Picasso’s early Blue Period and his creative process. The woman, with a chignon (发髻) hairstyle popular in early 1900s Paris, was revealed by conservators at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. The discovery came ahead of the painting’s inclusion in the exhibition Goya to Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Oskar Reinhart Collection, opening at the Courtauld Gallery. Barnaby Wright, the gallery’s deputy head, explained that the hidden figure emerged gradually as researchers used an infrared (红外线的) camera to scan the artwork. “Once you know what lies underneath the surface, you can see distinct features such as her eye, ear and hair clearly,” he added. Although the woman’s identity remains a mystery, she shares similarities with other figures Picasso painted during this period. Wright suggests she might have been a model, a friend or even a lover. While experts acknowledge that the woman’s identity may never be confirmed, ongoing analysis of the portrait is expected to provide more details about Picasso’s early techniques and the individuals who influenced him. X-ray imaging also revealed that Picasso had painted over the woman’s portrait, a common practice for the artist due to financial limitations. Like many of his other reworked pieces, the artist painted directly over the older work rather than whitewashing it. This way of working to transform one image into another and to be a stylistic shapeshifter has become a defining feature of his art, which helped to make him one of the giant figures of art history. The discovery of hidden elements in renowned artworks is becoming increasingly common as technology advances. Similar findings have been made beneath the works of Titian, Vincent van Gogh, Wyndham Lewis, and Rene Magritte, highlighting how modern scanning methods are reshaping our understanding of iconic paintings. 28. What does the underlined word “concealed” mean in Paragraph1? A. hidden B. painted C. shown D. ignored. 29. What is still uncertain about the hidden portrait? A. The time when Picasso created it. B. The technology used to discover it. C. The process of discovering the hidden portrait. D. The woman’s exact relationship with Picasso. 30. Why might Picasso paint over the older works? A. He wanted to try out different color styles. B. He was changing his style and subject. C. He couldn’t afford new painting materials. D. He wanted to preserve the original works. 31. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To show Picasso’s painting talent. B. To introduce a new art discovery. C. To explain how infrared technology works. D. To advertise an upcoming art exhibition. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究人员在毕加索的一幅画作下发现了一幅隐藏的画作，揭示了一位被隐藏了一个多世纪的神秘女性。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Researchers have uncovered a hidden painting beneath Pablo Picasso’s Portrait of Mateu Fernandez de Soto, revealing a mysterious woman who had been concealed for more than a century. (研究人员在巴勃罗·毕加索的《马特乌·费尔南德斯·德·索托肖像》下发现了一幅隐藏的画作，展示了一位被concealed一个多世纪的神秘女子)”可知，画作是被隐藏在另一幅画之下的，所以展示的是被隐藏的神秘女子，concealed意为“隐藏”，与hidden意义相近。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Although the woman’s identity remains a mystery, she shares similarities with other figures Picasso painted during this period. (尽管这位女子的身份仍然是个谜，但她与毕加索这一时期画的其他人物有相似之处)”可知，女子与毕加索的确切关系仍不确定。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“X-ray imaging also revealed that Picasso had painted over the woman’s portrait, a common practice for the artist due to financial limitations. (X光成像也显示，毕加索在这位女子的肖像上重新作画，由于经济拮据，这是这位艺术家的常见做法)”可知，毕加索负担不起新的绘画材料。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Researchers have uncovered a hidden painting beneath Pablo Picasso’s Portrait of Mateu Fernandez de Soto, revealing a mysterious woman who had been concealed for more than a century.

Yet many leaders fail to set clear communication norms (规范), resulting in burnout, wasted time, and reduced productivity. Consider these breakdowns. A colleague misses an urgent call because the message was sent via Slack (a team collaboration tool), which they rarely check. A leader preparing for a meeting receives five inconsistent reports from five different units. These examples illustrate the conflict that arises when communication norms are unclear. As AI-assisted writing becomes more common, it is even more critical to establish clear norms that prioritize readability. Research shows that recipients often feel pressured to respond faster than expected, and some messages requiring quick decisions go unnoticed for days. To prevent these mismatches, organizations should establish clear response times across different communication channels. Besides response speed, teams must also clarify when employees are expected to engage. Some organizations establish “quiet hours” to delay messages outside of working hours so that leaders foster (培养) a work culture that balances responsiveness with well-being. In the book Writing for Busy Readers: Communicate More Effectively in the Real World, six science-based principles are presented. The core idea? Brevity. In one experiment, researchers randomly assigned 7,000 leaders to receive either a 129-word request to complete a survey or a 49-word one. When both versions were tested with an independent group, the longer one was widely assumed to be more effective. But the data told a different story — cutting words nearly doubled the response rate. However, writing less isn’t always the better approach. For instance, a 3,000-word report might be more reader-friendly, but 6,500 words could be interpreted as the writer doing a more thorough job. In this case, less could still be more effective, but more could be seen as better. So effective communication isn’t just about writing less — it’s about making reading easier. But ease looks different in different settings. That’s why teams should define their communication norms to ensure clarity and consistency so organizations can solidify them across their teams and workflows. 32. What causes the communication breakdowns mentioned? A. Over-reliance on AI writing tools. B. Poor management of business units. C. Unclear communication rules. D. Bad relationships among workmates. 33. How can organizations get expected responses? A. By shifting to offline communication. B. By fostering a competitive work atmosphere. C. By using a single communication channel. D. By setting clear response time standards. 34. What can you infer from the reports in paragraph 5? A. Longer writing appears more convincing. B. Shorter texts work better in all cases. C. Detailed reports take more effort to write. D. Writers should make their reports longer. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Brevity as the key to better reading. B. Importance of clear communication rules. C. Hidden problems in remote online work. D. New changes in writing brought by AI. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了明确沟通规范对组织高效运作的重要性。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“These examples illustrate the conflict that arises when communication norms are unclear.(这些例子说明了当沟通规范不明确时所产生的冲突)”可知，沟通不畅的原因是沟通规范不明确。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“To prevent these mismatches, organizations should establish clear response times across different communication channels.(为了防止这些不匹配，组织应该在不同的沟通渠道建立明确的响应时间)”可知，组织可以通过设定明确的响应时间标准来获得预期的回复。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“However, writing less isn’t always the better approach. For instance, a 3,000-word report might be more reader-friendly, but 6,500 words could be interpreted as the writer doing a more thorough job. In this case, less could still be more effective, but more could be seen as better.(然而，写得少并不总是更好的方法。例如，一份3000字的报告可能更受读者欢迎，但6500字的报告可能被解释为作者做得更彻底。在这种情况下，少可能仍然更有效，但多可能被视为更好)”可知，从第五段的报告中可以推断出，更长的写作似乎更有说服力。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Effective communication is the foundation of high-performing organizations, particularly in an era of remote work and digital tools. Yet many leaders fail to set clear communication norms (规范), resulting in burnout, wasted time, and reduced productivity.(有效的沟通是高绩效组织的基础，尤其是在远程工作和数字工具的时代。然而，许多领导者未能制定明确的沟通规范，导致倦怠、浪费时间和工作效率下降)”以及最后一段中“That’s why teams should define their communication norms to ensure clarity and consistency so organizations can solidify them across their teams and workflows.(这就是为什么团队应该定义他们的沟通规范，以确保清晰和一致，以便组织可以在他们的团队和工作流程中巩固它们)”可知，文章主要讲述了明确沟通规范对组织高效运作的重要性。因此B项“Importance of clear communication rules.(明确沟通规范的重要性)”最适合作为文章标题。故选B。 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。 Ever feel like there’s never enough time these days? Chased by deadlines and bombarded with (狂轰滥炸) social media content, we feel that each day is full. ____36____.This widespread feeling is what experts call “time poverty.” The idea of “time poverty” is not new. First introduced in 1977, it has attracted much attention over the decades, according to Forbes. Cassie Holmes, a US social psychologist, tracked the time data of tens of thousands of people and found that when people have less than two hours of free time each day, their life satisfaction drops. ____37____ . We live in a world that values productivity. People are expected to be efficient, take on different roles and deal with many tasks. This can lead to a lack of personal time, hurting the individual’s well-being. ____38____ A University of Chicago study found that over the past decade, people’s participation in community activities had dropped by 58 percent, and the chance of neighbors knowing each other had fallen from 75 percent in the 1980s to only 22 percent in 2022. ____39____ Holmes pointed out that when people have over five hours of free time a day, they may start to feel a loss of purpose and achievement. Those who have two to five hours of free time each day report the highest levels of happiness and satisfaction. Time is a resource that is equally shared among all people. The key lies not in how much time we have, but in how we use it. ____40____ Exercising or volunteering can help you make the most of your time and give you a sense of achievement. A. Make a strict schedule for everyday activities. B. It can also cause a crisis in social relationships. C. They may even experience anxiety and burnout. D. You should reduce workload and social arrangements. E. Try engaging in meaningful activities to enrich your life. F. More free time does not necessarily mean greater happiness. G. However, on reflection, we may still feel a sense of emptiness. 【答案】36. G 37. C 38. B 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了现代社会中人们普遍面临的“时间贫困”问题，分析了其原因、影响，并提出了应对策略。 【36题详解】 上文“Chased by deadlines and bombarded with social media content, we feel that each day is full.(被截止日期追赶，被社交媒体内容轰炸，我们觉得每一天都很充实)”说明人们看似忙碌充实，下文“This widespread feeling is what experts call “time poverty.”(这种普遍存在的感受就是专家们所说的“时间贫困”)”提到“时间贫困”。推知处和前文为转折关系，说明忙碌之下的真实感受。所以G项“然而，仔细想想，我们可能仍然会感到一种空虚感”符合语境。G选项中的however与上文中的full形成转折，呼应后文“time poverty”的话题。故选G。 【37题详解】 上文“Cassie Holmes, a US social psychologist, tracked the time data of tens of thousands of people and found that when people have less than two hours of free time each day, their life satisfaction drops.(美国社会心理学家卡西·霍姆斯追踪了数万人的时间数据，发现当人们每天的空闲时间少于两小时时，他们的生活满意度会下降)”说明空闲时间过少的负面影响。空处和前文为顺接关系，进一步说明这种负面影响的具体表现。所以C项“他们甚至可能会感到焦虑和倦怠”符合语境。C选项中的they指代上文中“have less than two hours of free time each day”的人们，even进一步递进前文的“life satisfaction drops”。故选C。 【38题详解】 上文“This can lead to a lack of personal time, hurting the individual’s well-being.(这可能会导致个人时间的缺乏，损害个人的幸福感)”说明时间贫困对个人的影响。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明时间贫困带来的另一种影响。所以B项“它也可能引发社会关系危机”符合语境，B选项中的it指代前文的“a lack of personal time”，“also”体现影响的递进，后文芝加哥大学的研究也印证了人际关系受影响。故选B。 【39题详解】 下文“Holmes pointed out that when people have over five hours of free time a day, they may start to feel a loss of purpose and achievement. Those who have two to five hours of free time each day report the highest levels of happiness and satisfaction.(霍姆斯指出，当人们每天有超过5小时的空闲时间时，他们可能会开始感到失去目标和成就感。那些每天有两到五小时空闲时间的人报告的幸福感和满意度最高)”说明空闲时间过多也有弊端。空处是本段主旨句，概括本段核心内容。所以F项“更多的空闲时间并不一定意味着更大的幸福。”符合语境。F选项点明本段核心观点，后文内容围绕其展开，解释空闲时间过多的负面影响，故选F。 【40题详解】 上文“The key lies not in how much time we have, but in how we use it.(关键不在于我们有多少时间，而在于我们如何利用它)”说明合理利用时间的重要性。空处和前文为顺接关系，给出利用时间的具体建议。所以E项“尝试参与有意义的活动来丰富你的生活”符合语境，E选项中的“engaging in meaningful activities”是对“how we use it”的具体说明，后文“Exercising or volunteering”也呼应了“meaningful activities”。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。 I moved to China for a six-month exchange.

His parents, both busy AI engineers, had to take an urgent business trip abroad for a month, leaving him alone at home. Knowing Liam struggled with loneliness and had been quiet since his best friend moved away, they surprised him with a small, human-like AI companion robot named Kiki before they left. Kiki was no ordinary robot. It had warm silver eyes, a soft voice, and could learn the user’s habits, emotions and hobbies quickly. Liam was unimpressed at first. He thought robots were just cold machines with programs, unable to understand real feelings. He ignored Kiki’s gentle greetings, refused to talk, and spent his days locked in his room, playing video games or staring out of the window. But Kiki never gave up. It made Liam’s favorite oatmeal for breakfast, tidied his messy desk, and left encouraging notes on his pillow every night. When it noticed Liam loved drawing but hadn’t picked up his sketchbook for weeks, it quietly placed the sketchbook and colored pencils on the living room table, along with a simple picture it had drawn. One rainy afternoon, Liam decided to go to the quiet old studio at the end of the community to draw. He rushed out in a hurry without noticing Kiki following him quietly with an umbrella. The wet floor inside made him slip and fall hard, hurting his right arm. He could not move and called for help anxiously, but no one could hear him in the heavy rain. Just then, the door opened and Kiki ran to him quickly. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Kiki came up to Liam at once, its eyes full of concern. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Safe and moved, Liam returned home with Kiki’s help. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Paragraph 1 Kiki came up to Liam at once, its eyes filled with concern. It gently helped him sit up, its soft mechanical hands carefully supporting his injured arm. Without a word, it unfolded the umbrella and protected him from the pouring rain. Then it slowly assisted him to stand and walked him home step by step. Liam bit his lip to hold back his tears, feeling a warm current spreading through his chest. This cold-looking machine, he realized, seemed to understand his pain better than anyone else. Paragraph 2 Safe and moved, Liam returned home with Kiki’s help. It fetched a first-aid kit and gently cleaned and bandaged his injured arm. Then it prepared a cup of warm milk and placed his favorite sketchbook beside him. “You draw beautifully,” it said in a soft voice. Liam broke down completely, hugging Kiki tightly in his arms. For the first time, he truly understood that kindness and care were not limited to humans, and Kiki had become his sincere friend, driving away his loneliness once and for all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了16岁的Liam在父母出差期间，起初对AI机器人Kiki冷漠，但在一次意外受伤后，Kiki的关心和帮助让Liam感受到了温暖，最终两人成为朋友的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Kiki立刻走到Liam身边，眼神中充满了关切”可知，第一段可描写Kiki帮助Liam站起来，并带他回家。 ②由第二段首句内容“在Kiki的帮助下，Liam安全且感动地回到了家”可知，第二段可描写Kiki照顾Liam，Liam被感动，意识到Kiki已成为他真诚的朋友。 2. 续写线索：Kiki帮助Liam站起来——带Liam回家——Kiki照顾Liam——Liam被感动——Liam意识到Kiki已成为他真诚的朋友 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①保护：protect/safeguard ②理解：understand/comprehend ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类： ①痛苦：pain/misery ②善良：kindness/goodness 【点睛】【高分句型1】Liam broke down completely, hugging Kiki tightly in his arms.(运用了现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】For the first time, he truly understood that kindness and care were not limited to humans, and Kiki had become his sincere friend, driving away his loneliness once and for all.(运用了that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始，第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话读两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Where's my pen?

B Last summer, 14-year-old Jake joined a beach cleanup volunteer program in his town. He went there, thinking he would only spend a few hours picking up trash and then go home. On his first day at the beach, Jake and other volunteers saw a small sea turtle tangled in plastic netting. The turtle could not move and looked helpless. Working gently and carefully, they slowly cut the netting away and set it free. When the turtle swam back into the clear water, Jake felt a strong sense of purpose. He realized that his small actions could truly help living things in nature and make a real difference. After that, Jake returned to the beach every weekend without delay. He invited his friends to join him and organized regular clean-up events for the whole community. He also gave small talks at school to teach other students about the harm of ocean pollution. Later, he started an environmental club at school to encourage more teenagers to care for the sea and protect wildlife. By the end of the summer, Jake and his club members had cleared more than 500 pounds of rubbish from the beach. Local people and officials were greatly moved by their efforts. The government even built a new recycling center near the beach to reduce waste from reaching the ocean. Jake said that he had learned a meaningful lesson: small actions can create huge influence. He believes that protecting the planet is not just for adults but for everyone, including young students. 24. What was Jake’s feeling when the sea turtle swam back into the water? A. Helpless and surprised. B. Shocked and worried. C. Calm and relieved. D. Proud and purposeful. 25. What did Jake do to influence more teenagers? A. He set up an environmental organization at school. B. He posted posters in community centers. C. He turned to his parents for wider support. D. He published stories in the school newspaper. 26. Why was a new recycling center built near the beach? A. To honor volunteers for their work. B. To stop rubbish from flowing into the sea. C. To provide equipment for Jake’s club. D. To call on more locals to take part in cleaning. 27. What can we learn from Jake’s story? A. Summer holidays are good for volunteer work. B. Young people can make a difference to the world. C. Beach cleanups are the best way to protect nature. D. Environmental problems are easy to solve. C Researchers have uncovered a hidden painting beneath Pablo Picasso’s Portrait of Mateu Fernandez de Soto, revealing a mysterious woman who had been concealed for more than a century. This discovery offers new insights into Picasso’s early Blue Period and his creative process. The woman, with a chignon (发髻) hairstyle popular in early 1900s Paris, was revealed by conservators at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. The discovery came ahead of the painting’s inclusion in the exhibition Goya to Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Oskar Reinhart Collection, opening at the Courtauld Gallery. Barnaby Wright, the gallery’s deputy head, explained that the hidden figure emerged gradually as researchers used an infrared (红外线的) camera to scan the artwork. “Once you know what lies underneath the surface, you can see distinct features such as her eye, ear and hair clearly,” he added. Although the woman’s identity remains a mystery, she shares similarities with other figures Picasso painted during this period. Wright suggests she might have been a model, a friend or even a lover. While experts acknowledge that the woman’s identity may never be confirmed, ongoing analysis of the portrait is expected to provide more details about Picasso’s early techniques and the individuals who influenced him. X-ray imaging also revealed that Picasso had painted over the woman’s portrait, a common practice for the artist due to financial limitations. Like many of his other reworked pieces, the artist painted directly over the older work rather than whitewashing it. This way of working to transform one image into another and to be a stylistic shapeshifter has become a defining feature of his art, which helped to make him one of the giant figures of art history. The discovery of hidden elements in renowned artworks is becoming increasingly common as technology advances. Similar findings have been made beneath the works of Titian, Vincent van Gogh, Wyndham Lewis, and Rene Magritte, highlighting how modern scanning methods are reshaping our understanding of iconic paintings. 28. What does the underlined word “concealed” mean in Paragraph1? A. hidden B. painted C. shown D. ignored. 29. What is still uncertain about the hidden portrait? A. The time when Picasso created it. B. The technology used to discover it. C. The process of discovering the hidden portrait. D. The woman’s exact relationship with Picasso. 30. Why might Picasso paint over the older works? A. He wanted to try out different color styles. B. He was changing his style and subject. C. He couldn’t afford new painting materials. D. He wanted to preserve the original works. 31. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To show Picasso’s painting talent. B. To introduce a new art discovery. C. To explain how infrared technology works. D. To advertise an upcoming art exhibition. D Effective communication is the foundation of high-performing organizations, particularly in an era of remote work and digital tools. Yet many leaders fail to set clear communication norms (规范), resulting in burnout, wasted time, and reduced productivity. Consider these breakdowns. A colleague misses an urgent call because the message was sent via Slack (a team collaboration tool), which they rarely check. A leader preparing for a meeting receives five inconsistent reports from five different units. These examples illustrate the conflict that arises when communication norms are unclear. As AI-assisted writing becomes more common, it is even more critical to establish clear norms that prioritize readability. Research shows that recipients often feel pressured to respond faster than expected, and some messages requiring quick decisions go unnoticed for days. To prevent these mismatches, organizations should establish clear response times across different communication channels. Besides response speed, teams must also clarify when employees are expected to engage. Some organizations establish “quiet hours” to delay messages outside of working hours so that leaders foster (培养) a work culture that balances responsiveness with well-being. In the book Writing for Busy Readers: Communicate More Effectively in the Real World, six science-based principles are presented. The core idea? Brevity. In one experiment, researchers randomly assigned 7,000 leaders to receive either a 129-word request to complete a survey or a 49-word one. When both versions were tested with an independent group, the longer one was widely assumed to be more effective. But the data told a different story — cutting words nearly doubled the response rate. However, writing less isn’t always the better approach. For instance, a 3,000-word report might be more reader-friendly, but 6,500 words could be interpreted as the writer doing a more thorough job. In this case, less could still be more effective, but more could be seen as better. So effective communication isn’t just about writing less — it’s about making reading easier. But ease looks different in different settings. That’s why teams should define their communication norms to ensure clarity and consistency so organizations can solidify them across their teams and workflows. 32. What causes the communication breakdowns mentioned? A. Over-reliance on AI writing tools. B. Poor management of business units. C. Unclear communication rules. D. Bad relationships among workmates. 33. How can organizations get expected responses? A. By shifting to offline communication. B. By fostering a competitive work atmosphere. C. By using a single communication channel. D. By setting clear response time standards. 34. What can you infer from the reports in paragraph 5? A. Longer writing appears more convincing. B. Shorter texts work better in all cases. C. Detailed reports take more effort to write. D. Writers should make their reports longer. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Brevity as the key to better reading. B. Importance of clear communication rules. C. Hidden problems in remote online work. D. New changes in writing brought by AI. 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。 Ever feel like there’s never enough time these days? Chased by deadlines and bombarded with (狂轰滥炸) social media content, we feel that each day is full. ____36____.This widespread feeling is what experts call “time poverty.” The idea of “time poverty” is not new.

His parents, both busy AI engineers, had to take an urgent business trip abroad for a month, leaving him alone at home. Knowing Liam struggled with loneliness and had been quiet since his best friend moved away, they surprised him with a small, human-like AI companion robot named Kiki before they left. Kiki was no ordinary robot. It had warm silver eyes, a soft voice, and could learn the user’s habits, emotions and hobbies quickly. Liam was unimpressed at first. He thought robots were just cold machines with programs, unable to understand real feelings. He ignored Kiki’s gentle greetings, refused to talk, and spent his days locked in his room, playing video games or staring out of the window. But Kiki never gave up. It made Liam’s favorite oatmeal for breakfast, tidied his messy desk, and left encouraging notes on his pillow every night. When it noticed Liam loved drawing but hadn’t picked up his sketchbook for weeks, it quietly placed the sketchbook and colored pencils on the living room table, along with a simple picture it had drawn. One rainy afternoon, Liam decided to go to the quiet old studio at the end of the community to draw. He rushed out in a hurry without noticing Kiki following him quietly with an umbrella. The wet floor inside made him slip and fall hard, hurting his right arm. He could not move and called for help anxiously, but no one could hear him in the heavy rain. Just then, the door opened and Kiki ran to him quickly. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Kiki came up to Liam at once, its eyes full of concern. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Safe and moved, Liam returned home with Kiki’s help. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
