Mini Stargazing Safari in Northumberland For stargazers, Northumberland is an ideal destination for a visual feast. Kielder Observatory hosts over 700 annual events for all ages, making astronomy accessible and enjoyable. Battlesteads Hotel provides workshops, informative talks, and interactive demonstrations. With a 572-square-mile Dark Sky Park, finding a stargazing spot is effortless — event tickets start at £25, and the hotel’s two-night stays cost £290 per night. Warm Mud Bath in Italy’s Aeolian Islands The volcano in Italy’s Aeolian Islands offers healing mud baths. Though sulphuric (含硫磺的) smells take some getting used to, the bubbling mud soothes muscles, boosts circulation and benefits skin conditions. With its volcanic backdrop and breathtaking sunsets, hiking trails and dark-sand beaches serve as an ideal base for exploration. Entry to mud baths is £20 per person, including shower access. Diving with Octopuses in Seattle, USA Inspired by the release of My Octopus Teacher, people have developed a surging interest in one of the ocean’s most mysterious creatures. Octopuses — known for their shape-shifting abilities, problem-solving skills — have become the new stars of underwater exploration. With the guidance of a professional instructor, divers get a rare chance to observe these eight-armed wonders up close. Seattle Dive Tours’ evening-night packages are £200 per person (September to May), plus taxes. Listening to Whale Song in the Azores In the Azores, travelers have the rare opportunity not only to spot whales but also to listen to their songs. Whale song is not just soothing background noise; it is the sound of one of nature’s most mysterious giants communicating across the deep ocean. By listening to their songs, travelers can assist in identifying individual whales and recording migration data. The Ocean holiday (£895 per person) includes three whale-watching trips. 21．What is a feature of the mud baths in the Aeolian Islands? A．It has no unpleasant smells. B．It helps to promote blood flow. C．It has breathtaking sunrises. D．It offers free hiking trail access. 22．Which experience is most likely to be inspired by a documentary film? A．Mini Stargazing Safari in Northumberland. B．Diving with Octopuses in Seattle, USA． C．Warm Mud Bath in Italy’s Aeolian Islands. D．Listening to Whale Song in the Azores. 23．Where is this text probably taken from? A．A news report. B．A health magazine. C．A travel website. D．A geography textbook. B For most of her life, Reese Dankenberger’s world centered around the pool. Growing up, she spent countless hours on swim practice and competitions. Swimming wasn’t just a sport — it was her routine, her challenge, and her passion. Yet, behind her achievements was a hidden struggle. As a young athlete, Reese suffered from POTS, a condition that caused her heart rate to rise whenever she stood, often leaving her dizzy and tired. It was a threat not only to her swimming but also to her everyday life. Years of medical appointments and treatments eventually stabilized her condition, allowing her to continue competing and sparking a new curiosity about biomedical research. Initially, Reese was torn between pursuing a clinical career and a scientific one. “I’ve been the patient. I’ve been on the other side of medicine,” she said. “The goal is to improve quality of life, but there are many paths to get there.” The choice became clearer during her senior year at Tulane University in Louisiana when she spent the summer as a research fellow at Virginia Tech’s Fralin Biomedical Research Institute. Working in John Chappell’s lab, she studied blood vessel (血管) development in the brain, which helped her understand her heart condition. The experience encouraged her to focus on chronic (慢性的) conditions, hoping to help others who face similar uncertainties. Now, Reese joins Virginia Tech’s Translational Biology, Medicine, and Health Graduate Program. She values the program’s collaborative approach, where students from diverse backgrounds, including biology, neuroscience, and exercise psychology, learn from one another. “Each of us brings a different perspective, which helps tackle problems in new ways,” she said. For Reese, the pool taught discipline and perseverance, but her experiences with POTS shaped her purpose. From laps in the water to hours in the lab, she has turned personal challenges into drive to improve the lives of others. 24．What led Reese to focus on biomedical research? A．Her countless swim practices. B．Her training at Tulane University. C．Her experiences with POTS. D．Her interest in chronic diseases. 25．What does Reese value most about her current graduate program? A．Its sports-centered research focus. B．The cross-field teamwork benefits. C．Its down-to-earth research methods. D．The chance to work with professionals. 26．What’s the core of Reese’s life goal now? A．Winning sports competitions. B．Curing her own heart condition. C．Pursuing a teaching career. D．Promoting well-being of others. 27．What message does Reese’s story mainly deliver? A．Practice makes perfect. B．Turn lemons into lemonade. C．Well begun is half done. D．Together we stand, divided we fall. 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 A surprising analysis of 15 studies reveals that patients perceive more warmth in AI-generated medical responses than in those from human doctors. The largest study examined 2,164 patient interactions, with similar patterns emerging across smaller datasets. The results, published in the British Medical Bulletin, challenge long-held assumptions about human connection in medicine and run counter to a 2019 UK government report that called empathy an “essential human skill that AI cannot replicate (复制).” ChatGPT and similar AI chatbots scored roughly 2 points higher than human healthcare professionals (HCPs) on 10-point empathy scales when responding to patient questions via text. AI had a 73% probability of being rated as more empathic than human practitioners in head-to-head comparisons. “In text-only scenarios, AI chatbots are frequently perceived as more empathic than human HCPs,” study authors wrote. The meta-analysis from the Universities of Nottingham and Leicester pooled data from 13 of the 15 studies comparing AI chatbots to doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers. Studies drawing from Reddit health forums and patient portals showed similar trends. Questions ranged from interpreting blood test results to managing chronic conditions to understanding cancer treatment options. Across this variety, AI responses were more likely to be rated as warm, understanding, and considerate of patient concerns. The studies couldn’t determine whether AI’s perceived empathy advantage translates to better health outcomes. While empathic communication has been linked to reduced patient pain and anxiety, improved medication adherence, and higher satisfaction with care, these studies measured perception rather than clinical impact. The findings suggest that empathetic AI can provide valuable support in healthcare fields, thereby enhancing the roles these technologies can play in our everyday lives. While the results were strong, this study represents a broad perspective and does not account for differences in socio-cultural backgrounds among participants. Cultural differences can greatly influence how empathy is perceived and assessed. Future work could look closely at how people from different backgrounds view empathetic responses in both humans and AI to enhance understanding in this area. 32．What is the main finding of the analysis? A．Empathy is a unique human skill beyond AI’s reach. B．Patients find AI’s medical replies more sympathetic. C．AI provides more effective treatment plans than humans. D．AI shows greater competence in routine patient inquiries. 33．What’s the primary purpose of paragraph 2? A．To present research evidence. B．To explain underlying causes. C．To predict future developments. D．To describe relevant background. 34．What can be implied from paragraph 3? A．AI’s empathy is irrelevant to patient satisfaction. B．AI’s empathy may not improve actual clinical outcomes. C．AI’s assistance is widely applied across different patient groups. D．AI’s empathy can directly lead to better health conditions of patients. 35．What is the author’s attitude towards the studies? A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Critical. D．Objective. 第二节 七选五（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。 Any time of the day you can commit to exercising is a good time for getting active. However, the best time for exercise is different for each person. 36 Determine when you have the most energy. Do you struggle to get out of the bed in the morning or do you wake up energized and ready to go? Are you a night owl and never get to bed before midnight? Once you establish what your sleep tendencies are, you will have a better idea of when your body is most ready to exercise. 37 You are more likely to hit the snooze button instead of getting a workout in. Consider your daily schedule. When are you the busiest? 38 Try to fit in exercise before or at least around these events. Some people would prefer to get it out of the way first thing, while others prefer to put it off until the end of the day when they are all caught up. Determine your exercise goals. If you are trying to develop a routine, you may want to exercise in the morning. People who exercise in the morning are more consistent. 39 If you are trying to improve your performance, evening exercise may be best. You may experience less tiredness, quicker reaction times, and more strength and flexibility in the evening. If you are trying to lose weight, you may want to exercise in the morning before you have eaten when your body is more likely to use fat instead of carbohydrates for energy 40 This way, you’ll see how you feel and find the time that works best with your schedule. Keep an exercise log to help you evaluate each time. A．This will give your body time to relax. B．Do you perform better in the morning or at night? C．You may not feel like exercising after a long day of work. D．When do you tend to schedule your most important tasks? E．Consider your lifestyle and exercise goals to find the right time. F．If you’re not a morning person, do not schedule an early morning workout. G．Anyway, you’d better experiment with both morning and evening workouts. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The sun sank behind the trees as the wildlife photographer held his camera tight, hoping to capture an image of a relatively rare bird, a particular kind of heron.

Suddenly, to his delight, a heron (鹭) 44 on a branch right in front of him. He 45 raised his camera, focused in and took the 46 just a second before the bird spread its wings and flew away. Feeling particularly pleased with himself, the photographer looked at the image, only to make an astonishing 47 . There, in the background, easy to 48 at first sight, was another bird mid-flight: a strikingly rare woodpecker (啄木鸟), one so seldom seen that many birdwatchers spend years for just a 49 of it. The photographer hadn’t noticed the woodpecker at all; without even 50 , he had photographed a bird much rarer than the one he’d aimed for.

Due to the rapid economic development, families from different backgrounds came here to find a better life. Amanda’s classmate and friend, Rose, was from one of those families. One day after school, Amanda and Rose were chatting and Rose mentioned how much she missed her friends and hometown. “It is hard to leave,” Rose sighed, “but my family needed to be somewhere that was easier to make a living.” Holding Rose’s hands, Amanda encouraged her to share more. She knew Rose loved to sing and dance with her friends back in her hometown. After learning about Rose’s story, Amanda started to notice more students like Rose in her school. For the first time, she realized that those students looked sad. Sometimes because of their different accents, they couldn’t communicate well with others, which made them always sit or stand silently at the back of the classroom. “They are having a hard time. We should show them kindness and love!” she told her mother one day. Amanda asked her mother what she could do to help make them feel welcome. Amanda’s mother suggested, “What about using art? Maybe it will be easier to communicate through art.” Amanda thought for a while and nodded. Like her friend Rose, Amanda loved all forms of art, such as painting, singing, dancing, and performing, through which she could tell different stories about her family and her life. The next day, Amanda went to the Activity Center in her school and proposed her plan for an art show. The officer thought it a great idea. Inspired and excited, Amanda set about her plan with several friends. At the Activity Center they filled a room with paper, paints and pencils. They even made a small stage! With everything ready, they invited all the new students in her school and Amanda encouraged them to share something special about their hometown in any art form. To Amanda’s surprise, no one responded. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答 Paragraph 1：Amazingly, Rose stepped forward to break the ice. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2：Everything seemed to change after that art show. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 听力 1—5 ABCCA 6—10 BACCC 11—15 BAABC 16—20 ACBCB 阅读 21-23 BBC 24-27 CBDB 28-31 CDDA 32-35 BABD 36-40 EFDCG 完型 41-45 CBABD 46-50 DCABB 51-55 DCDAA 单句语法填空 56. had undergone 57.

We aim to encourage students to live a low‑carbon life and protect our school environment. The club will organize various activities, such as campus clean‑up campaigns, tree‑planting events, and lectures on environmental protection. We are looking for active and responsible students who care about the environment. Good communication skills and a strong sense of teamwork are preferred. If you are interested, please sign up at the Student Union office before next Friday. Let’s take action and make our campus greener together! 读后续写 Amazingly, Rose stepped forward to break the ice. Her hands trembled slightly as she approached the small stage, but with Amanda’s encouraging smile, she took a deep breath and began to sing a traditional song from her hometown. Her voice flowed like a warm stream, bringing a sense of togetherness. Inspired by Rose’s courage, the other students found their way to the stage, sharing different cultures with their artistic talent. Seeing the room enveloped in an ocean of warmth, Amanda was moved and proud that this diverse group of students finally found a sense of belonging. Everything seemed to change after that art show. Amanda was thrilled to witness the once lonely and sad students starting to participate more in class activities. Motivated by the success of the art show, Amanda and Rose continued to organize events that helped students of different backgrounds integrate into the new environment. Little by little, the campus was transformed into a warm community of friendship and understanding. It was the successful art show that bonded students together, and it was love and kindness that bridged the gap of language and culture, turning the campus into a harmonious community. 听力原文 Text 1 M: Mary strikes me as an efficient person.

Text 10 M: Hello everyone, and welcome to the school’s weekly news broadcast. I’m your host, Li Ming. Today, we have a positive local story. Last Saturday, our city library started a new program called “The Book Buddy Shelf.” Here’s how it works: anyone can buy an extra book when they shop, and then donate it to this special shelf at the library. People who cannot afford to buy books, especially children, can then take these books home for free, no library card needed. The program was a huge success in its first week. The library manager, Ms. Chen, said they received over 200 books. “We are very thankful for everyone’s kindness. We’ve got storybooks, science books, and even some cookbooks! It’s wonderful to see the community sharing the joy of reading.” We interviewed a young girl named Xiao Mei at the library. She was holding a new picture book. She said with a big smile, “My mom said we can’t buy new books this month. But I found this one here! I’m so happy.” The “Book Buddy Shelf” is located near the library's main entrance. The library hopes this program will continue to grow. They remind everyone that the books should be new or in very good condition. That’s the end of today’s news. Remember, a small act of kindness can make a big difference. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
