B “Listen, that’s a magpie (喜鹊) singing,” said Xu Keyi, a wildlife photographer who can identify bird species by just hearing their calls. Xu, 37, has fallen in love with photographing animals since childhood, dreaming of traveling the world with her camera. Before being fully devoted to wildlife photography, she worked in journalism after getting her master’s degree. In addition to her photography career, Xu is a well-known influencer in wildlife knowledge, using her photos to inspire greater care for the planet. The turning point came during a trip to Antarctica, where Xu witnessed penguin (企鹅) parents fearlessly defending their chicks, which left a deep impression on her and deepened her love for going deep into nature. Xu then made the life-changing decision to leave her job and follow wildlife photography full-time. “Now I’ve traveled across all seven continents and four oceans, but what I love most is the wildlife within China’s 9.6 million square kilometers,” Xu said. Last year in Yunnan province, Xu experienced a hard early morning climb and hours of rain and heat to photograph the rare green peafowl (孔雀). When the sun came out in the afternoon, a male peafowl’s call rang out across the valley, creating a breathtaking moment. During a journey to film a rare butterfly species, Xu met an elderly wildlife protector who voiced his concerns about the lack of people devoted to protecting the species. “Shortly after I published my photos of the butterfly, he shared a picture of volunteers with me, saying that they hoped to join the protection efforts after seeing my images,” Xu said. “Wildlife photography seems to have transformed from being a pastime for the elderly. The participation of the growing number of youths inspires me with hope.” she said. 24. What do we know about Xu’s trip to Antarctica? A. It was her first trip abroad. B. It was aimed at wildlife research. C. It led to her career change. D. It inspired her interest in photography. 25. What happened to Xu during her work in Yunnan? A. She met with tough conditions. B. She identified a new bird species. C. She got a perfect shot accidentally. D. She received help from a local guide. 26. Which of the following best describes Xu Keyi? A. Determined and devoted. B. Creative and thoughtful. C. Humorous and generous. D. Competitive and curious. 27. Why was the elderly protector’s sharing of volunteers’ picture mentioned? A. To explain reasons for the popularity of photography. B. To show Xu’s photos inspire people to protect nature. C. To highlight the challenges of photographing wildlife. D. To stress the lack of public awareness before Xu’s work. C Imagine you are preparing a class presentation when you suddenly remember you forgot to feed the cat. You grab your phone to text your mum, but an ad jumps out: “50 % off your favourite brand!” One tap leads to another; ten minutes later you have looked through reviews, filled a cart and almost missed your own slide. This phenomenon is called “popcorn (爆米花) brain”. The term was introduced in 2011 by researcher David Levy from the University of Washington. It describes a mental state where attention wanders, and thoughts jump quickly from one topic to another — just like popcorn popping rapidly in a hot pan. People with popcorn brain find it hard to concentrate or maintain a clear line of thinking. University of California Researcher Gloria Mark. tracked 2,000American office workers and students in her two-decade study on attention with silent screen recorders and heart-rate belts. In 2004 people stayed on one task for 2.5 minutes on average; by 2020 the figure had fallen to 47 seconds. Heart-rate data showed that every extra switch raised a stress hormone (荷尔蒙) by about 7%. Studies show that digital technology, especially social media, worsens this condition. Data Reportal’s 2024 report pooled screen-time records from 1.3 million users in 40 countries and found further proof. For instance, people in America aged16-24 averaged 7 hours 3 minutes online per day, equaling roughly 17 years of adult life. Such constant digital exposure trains the brain to prefer short bursts of information. As a result, focusing on one task becomes harder, Information overload also affects memory, decision-making, and emotional control. The cure, tested in follow-up trials, is brief: set clear tech houndaries Recommended strategies include limiting daily screen time, turning off non-essential notification, and creating tech-free periods or spaces. Building a structured daily routine is also advised: individuals can begin by measuring their current focus duration, then set realistic goals and stick to a fixed schedule for important tasks. This consistent practice strengthens habits and prepares your mind and body to focus on the task for a longer period without getting popcorn brain. 28. How does the author present the issue in paragraph 1? A. By defining a concept. B. By providing statistics. C. By giving an example. D. By introducing a presentation 29. What can be inferred from the data in Gloria Mark’s study? A. Attention on a task dropped half in decades. B. Frequent switching may increase mental stress. C. People’s average screen time decreased steadily. D. Shortened screen time may lead to higher heart disease risk. 30. What does the underlined word “pooled” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Evaluated. B. Created. C. Published. D. Collected. 31. According to the passage, how can we prevent getting “popcorn brain”? A. Setting aside no-device areas. B. Changing daily schedules flexibly. C. Using more advanced digital devices. D. Checking essential notification regularly. D In 1998, researchers Larry Page and Sergey Brin published a paper titled The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine. In the paper, they expected the rise of algorithms (算法). Later that same year, the two developed the search algorithm, PageRank, which revolutionized the early web by prioritizing pages according to the number and types of links on each page. Today, PageRank is still around, but it has fallen victim to algorithms. The broader web landscape has abandoned its original promise: to enable us to be the best and most genuine version of ourselves. Instead, we’ re trapped in a system that emphasizes sameness and discourages individuality, all at the hands of algorithms that have gone wild. Algorithms make it impossible to go online without encountering content that claims it’s been “selected for you”. But they don’t recognize how complex and ever-changing human tastes can be. Because of their overly simplistic calculations, we are rarely shown anything new, different, or exciting. For example, Spotify listeners end up hearing the same songs and artists over and over. The combination of the universality of algorithms and the addictiveness of the platforms threatens to flatten our individual tastes. The algorithms push us all toward the same ideas while making it harder for free-thinkers and subcultures to rise up. But innovation requires those who are willing and able to go against algorithmic trend cycles. Social innovation and advancement in general will stagnate (停滞) in such environments. We already see this happening. It’s why every single new movie is either a reboot, remake, requel, prequel, or sequel (续集). And it’s why the clothes younger generations consider trendy look similar to what we wore in our childhood. Undoubtedly, algorithms are here to stay. But if we hope to avoid innovation stagnation, taste must be returned to its rightful owners. We all have a hand in making that happen. 32. How did Larry Page and Sergey Brin affect the web in 1998? A. They broke its original promise. B. They boosted its development. C. They prevented it from going wild. D. They shifted its focus to individuality. 33. What can be known about the algorithm-controlled content we get according to paragraph 3? A. It can always amaze and excite us. B. It is based on complex calculations. C. It features repetition and predictability. D. It matches our ever-changing tastes. 34. Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To highlight the universality of algorithms. B. To analyze the reason for algorithmic stagnation. C. To explain the concept of algorithmic trend cycles. D. To show how algorithms negatively impact innovation. 35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To remind us to make full use of algorithms. B. To encourage innovation in algorithmic design. C. To demonstrate the incredible power of algorithms. D. To urge us to try to get out of the algorithmic trap. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 At first glance, the idea of living a minimalist (极简主义的) lifestyle may sound difficult, restrictive, or even boring. I was a bit doubtful when I first decided to take on minimalist living. 36 Becoming a minimalist has given me more time and freedom for what I love and value. It’s pretty common for beginners to think that minimalism starts with hard-to-manage habits and rules. 37 Minimalism starts with your mindset, the lens through which you are viewing your life, then moves outward from there to become actionable habits and steps. Another big misunderstanding when it comes to living a minimalist life is that the main goal of becoming a minimalist is to get rid of as much stuff as possible. Wrong again! The main goal of minimalism is to get rid of the things that don’t contribute to the value of your daily life. 38 . In order to make more space for the things you value, you first have to identify what those things are. Ask yourself what your life could use more of and what you could use less of in your day-to-day life. 39 If something is annoying you in your day-to-day life, you had better address these things and keep them from dragging you down further. 40 When you’re getting started, don’t focus too much on the end result or on the most difficult things to change. Start with the easiest things to change and work your way up from there. Making small amounts of progress can help improve your motivation and inspire you to keep going. A. It’s nothing but an excuse. B. This couldn’t be further from the truth! C. Fixing what bothers you is also necessary. D. This leaves more space for you to boost productivity. E. But doing so has given me a life I genuinely love living. F. So you can make space for what’s most important to you. G. Just start simple and realize becoming a minimalist is a journey. 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，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “Hey!’ You have a hairless spot on the back of your head!” Mom’s alarmed cry hit me like a shock.

We had been friends since we were six years old. I took Isla as a smart, funny friend, but not all students at our school did, especially the girl students. Girls in our school wore fashionable branded clothes, but Isla sewed hers and her curly hair and thick glasses made her look like a fish, which made her stand out like a sore thumb (招眼). For me, sometimes I felt embarrassed to be around Isla, particularly when students said rude words about her hair, clothes, glasses -even about the fact that she got really good grades. Isla always seemed to be able to ignore what other students thought, but I couldn’t. I began to distance myself from her. Our school had a tradition-there was a talent show every spring. Students would sing, dance, play musical instruments, and do whatever they could to show their talents. Being our graduation season in this senior school, this year’s talent show would be obviously different. It would be a huge night. Ava, who was an outgoing girl, invited me to be on her dance team. “We win the talent show every year, and we expect a satisfactory graduation this year,” Ava said to me excitedly. “We need a new dancer. But only you, not her!” Ava pointed to someone behind me. I didn’t need to turn around to see who she meant. “Oh, I see,” I said quietly. Ava had hardly headed out when someone tapped on my shoulder. It was Isla. When I saw her confused face, it was like waking up from a dream. Isla asked me eagerly, “Emily, are you going to take part in the talent show?” I hesitated without response. “That’s great, Emily!” Isla told me without waiting for my answer that she was also going to participate this year. I couldn’t believe what I had heard. I started to worry about her when I imagined that she was in front of a huge crowd, and that everybody would laugh at her. Time passed quickly, and I had barely seen Isla since then. For me, I had to practice hard every day with Ava and the team to keep up since the other dancers had already known the steps. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ultimately, it was my turn to perform, and I felt extremely nervous. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I stepped off the stage and expressed my thanks to Isla, who was ready to sing. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
