The view was so beautiful that even my teenage daughter, Kavya, paused her usual rudeness to admire the scenery and breathe in the salty air. Instead of relaxing by the pools, we had spent the previous day training for our big scuba (潜水) trip. We took a course with written tests and did two exhausting pool practices. Now, the moment had arrived. Our instructor was about to place the helmets on our heads. I took a deep breath. This was it — my chance to connect with Kavya through a new experience, something we could finally share. But suddenly, Kavya pulled my arm. Her face showed the same worried look she had during math homework. I could sense her emotions tightening under her diving suit. Just as the instructor approached, she whispered, “Dad, can I quit?” The waves sounded louder, the gear (设备) heavier. Surprisingly, I didn’t say what I normally would: “Quitting is not an option!” I even stopped myself from thinking, “But this was my plan.” Trying to give her a gentle hug in the heavy gear only resulted in me splashing water all over her and making us both laugh awkwardly. When she was little, connecting with Kavya was effortless. I knew everything about her, and she always joined my adventures with pure excitement. But as she grew older, she discovered her own interests, drifting away from mine. What followed were sighs, eye-rolls, and half-hearted “I guess so” replies. I had hoped this scuba course would bring us closer again. I didn’t expect her quitting to hit me so hard or so suddenly. Even without the dive, we enjoyed our vacation. We swam, collected seashells, and played word games. In those slow, quiet moments, I realized joy isn’t only in big adventures. It wasn’t the moment of closeness I had imagined — but it turned out to be exactly the one we needed. 4. Why did the author train hard for the diving trip? A. To impress the instructor. B. To relax in natural beauty. C. To grow closer to his daughter. D. To challenge himself physically. 5. Which of the following best describes the author according to paragraph 3? A.

Bonding happens naturally in shared moments. C. Scheduled adventures ruin true happiness. D. Connections rely heavily on thoughtful planning. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和女儿计划通过潜水拉近关系，女儿却想放弃，最终作者明白快乐不只在冒险中，陪伴才是关键。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“We took a course with written tests and did two exhausting pool practices. Now, the moment had arrived. Our instructor was about to place the helmets on our heads. I took a deep breath. This was it — my chance to connect with Kavya through a new experience, something we could finally share.(我们参加了专业课程，完成了书面测试，还进行了两场耗费体力的泳池实操练习。此刻，真正的潜水时刻终于到来。教练即将为我们戴上潜水头盔。我深吸一口气，就是现在 —— 我终于有机会借着这段全新的体验，拉近和卡薇娅的距离，拥有一段属于我们父女俩的共同回忆。)”可知，作者努力训练是为了通过这次潜水体验和女儿拉近距离。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Just as the instructor approached, she whispered, “Dad, can I quit?” The waves sounded louder, the gear (设备) heavier. Surprisingly, I didn’t say what I normally would: “Quitting is not an option!” I even stopped myself from thinking, “But this was my plan.” Trying to give her a gentle hug in the heavy gear only resulted in me splashing water all over her and making us both laugh awkwardly.(就在教练走近的瞬间，她小声问道：“爸爸，我可以放弃吗？”海浪声骤然变得嘈杂，身上的潜水装备也愈发沉重。出乎意料的是，我没有说出那句常挂在嘴边的话：“绝不许半途而废！”我也克制住了内心的不甘，没有纠结“这明明是我精心计划好的行程”。厚重的装备让我难以给她一个温柔的拥抱，反而溅了她一身水花，父女俩只能尴尬地相视一笑。)”可知，作者在女儿想放弃潜水时，没有像往常一样强硬地要求她继续，而是克制住了自己的想法，这体现出作者体贴和理解他人。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Even without the dive, we enjoyed our vacation. We swam, collected seashells, and played word games. In those slow, quiet moments, I realized joy isn’t only in big adventures. It wasn’t the moment of closeness I had imagined — but it turned out to be exactly the one we needed.(即使没有潜水，我们也很享受假期。我们游泳，收集贝壳，玩文字游戏。在那些缓慢而安静的时刻，我意识到快乐不仅仅存在于大冒险中。这不是我想象中的亲密时刻，但事实证明这正是我们所需要的。)”可知，作者没有执着于原计划的潜水，而是和女儿享受了其他活动，这表明作者建议家长要灵活适应情况。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Even without the dive, we enjoyed our vacation. We swam, collected seashells, and played word games. In those slow, quiet moments, I realized joy isn’t only in big adventures.

Yet this raises a serious question for architects: if technology lowers the technical barrier, what remains the true value of design? The answer, many experts believe, lies in deeper philosophical thinking. Architecture is not only about structure. It also reflects how humans understand life. This understanding begins with the individual — how a building can shape people’s emotions. It then extends to the community — whether a neighborhood design brings people together or drives them apart. Ultimately, it touches upon time itself — how to balance the preservation of historical identity with the need for change. In many cities, preserving every old structure, no matter its function or relevance, has become something of a sacred cow, admired by all but discussed by few. Yet true architectural philosophy requires us to ask whether preserving everything always serves the community’s best interest. AI can copy thousands of design styles, but it cannot make value judgments. It does not know why, for instance, a library in Colombia places its reading rooms — not offices — in the brightest and highest spaces: a design choice symbolizing equality. As scholar Nayef Al-Rodhan points out, “good design should possess valuable qualities, including fairness, inclusion, and safety, which cannot be outsourced to AI.” In the future, the best architects may not be those who master AI tools, but those who master philosophical reflection. Saudi Arabia’s planned city “The Line” is one such example. Its design is not only technological but also philosophical — it asks whether humans can create a sustainable city that allows people to live in harmony with nature. By turning a traditional city into a single vertical (垂直的) line, it challenges our deepest assumptions about urban life. Freed from repetitive drafting work, architects in the age of AI must think more deeply about humanity, community, and sustainability. The great designs of the future will emerge where technology meets philosophy, not where one replaces the other. 8. What is the main function of paragraph 2 in the passage? A. To introduce examples of modern cities. B. To compare architecture with philosophy. C. To describe how AI will change construction. D. To present architecture from a philosophical view. 9. What can we learn from the example of the library in Colombia? A. Great design is human-centered. B. AI will reshape public buildings. C. The best design feels almost invisible. D. Equality is the core of modern design. 10. Which of the following best describes the nature of “The Line”? A. A philosophy-guided theory. B. An eco-friendly city project. C. A social-welfare housing plan. D. An economically-driven design. 11. According to the passage, what should architects do in the age of AI? A. Shift from drawing to building. B. Bring soul and meaning to designs. C. Employ AI as a powerful co-pilot. D. Prioritize philosophy over function. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了AI时代建筑设计的核心价值，指出建筑的真正价值在于哲学思考，而非技术复制。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Architecture is not only about structure. It also reflects how humans understand life. This understanding begins with the individual — how a building can shape people’s emotions. It then extends to the community — whether a neighborhood design brings people together or drives them apart. Ultimately, it touches upon time itself — how to balance the preservation of historical identity with the need for change.(建筑不仅仅是关于结构的。它还反映了人类如何理解生活。这种理解始于个人——一座建筑如何影响人们的情绪。然后它延伸到社区——一个社区的设计是将人们聚集在一起还是使他们疏远。最终，它触及时间本身——如何平衡历史特征的保护与变革的需求)”可知，第二段从个人、社区、时间三个层面，从哲学视角阐述建筑的意义，其作用是从哲学角度呈现建筑的价值。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“AI can copy thousands of design styles, but it cannot make value judgments. It does not know why, for instance, a library in Colombia places its reading rooms — not offices — in the brightest and highest spaces: a design choice symbolizing equality.(人工智能可以复制成千上万种设计风格，但它无法做出价值判断。例如，它不知道为什么哥伦比亚的一座图书馆将阅览室——而不是办公室——设在最明亮、最高的地方：这一设计选择象征着平等)”可知，哥伦比亚图书馆的设计兼顾读者需求、体现平等理念，说明优秀的设计是以人为本的。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Saudi Arabia’s planned city “The Line” is one such example. Its design is not only technological but also philosophical — it asks whether humans can create a sustainable city that allows people to live in harmony with nature.(沙特阿拉伯规划中的城市“线性城市”就是这样一个例子。它的设计不仅是技术性的，也是哲学性的——它探讨人类是否能创造一个让人们与自然和谐共处的可持续城市)”可知，“线性城市”的本质是一个环保型城市项目。故选B项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Freed from repetitive drafting work, architects in the age of AI must think more deeply about humanity, community, and sustainability. The great designs of the future will emerge where technology meets philosophy, not where one replaces the other.(从重复的绘图工作中解放出来，人工智能时代的建筑师必须更深入地思考人文、社区和可持续性。未来伟大的设计将出现在技术与哲学相遇的地方，而不是一方取代另一方的地方)”可知，AI时代的建筑师应赋予设计灵魂和意义，融入哲学思考与人文关怀。故选B项。 D In a world overflowing with information, it may seem odd that people often go out of their way not to learn something. Whether it’s skipping a follow-up doctor’s appointment or refusing to read an unsettling news article, this tendency has a name: the “Ostrich (鸵鸟) Effect,” just like the bird supposedly burying its head in the sand. Researchers at the University of Chicago set out to understand when and why this occurs. In one experiment, children aged from 5 to 10 were asked to imagine their favorite and least favorite candy. Then came the choice: Would they like to watch a video about why eating that candy was bad for their teeth? Children at the age of 5 or 6 wanted to know — good or bad, the information itself was exciting. Older children, however, hesitated. They were much less interested in hearing about the downsides of their favorite treat, though they had no problem learning why their least favorite candy was bad. So why do children transform from fearless learners into strategic avoiders? The answer lies in emotions. Information is not neutral (中立的) — it often carries consequences for how we feel. News about our health, abilities, or beliefs can trigger disappointment, anxiety, or shame. By avoiding knowledge, people protect themselves, at least in the short term, from negative emotions. Sparing ourselves from distress can be protective, yet when avoidance becomes habitual, the costs can outweigh the benefits. At a personal level, refusing to learn important medical information can endanger health. At a societal level, avoidance may entrench political divides or rigid beliefs. When people deliberately tune out perspectives that challenge their worldview, they lose opportunities for growth, understanding, and connection. At its core, the Ostrich Effect reveals something deeply human. We are curious creatures, but also fragile ones. We want to know, yet we fear what knowing might mean. This push and pull shapes our decisions every day. This is why researchers stress the importance of teaching children not only to embrace curiosity, but also to develop resilience (韧性) and always grab the chance to learn, adapt, and succeed. 12. Which of the following shows the “Ostrich Effect”? A. A student actively seeks feedback from teachers. B. A woman turns a blind eye to her credit card bills. C. A boy refuses to attend his cousin’s birthday party. D. An employee buries himself in research and data analysis. 13. Why does the “Ostrich Effect” occur? A. It blocks out distractions. B. It keeps us from feeling bad. C. It helps us see things positively. D. It encourages independent thinking. 14. What does the underlined word “entrench” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Expose. B. Remove. C. Deepen. D. Transform. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Why Not Knowing Can Seem So Sweet B. Why Embracing Curiosity Truly Matters C. The Ostrich Effect: Comfort is the Best Option D. From Candy to Curiosity: The Evolution of Resilience 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍 “鸵鸟效应”，即人们刻意回避负面信息。实验显示儿童随年龄增长更易回避不利信息，原因是逃避负面情绪。该行为短期有益，但长期有害个人与社会，人们应保持好奇、增强韧性。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In a world overflowing with information, it may seem odd that people often go out of their way not to learn something. Whether it’s skipping a follow-up doctor’s appointment or refusing to read an unsettling news article, this tendency has a name: the “Ostrich (鸵鸟) Effect,” just like the bird supposedly burying its head in the sand.(在这样一个信息泛滥的世界里，人们竟然常常故意不去学习新知识，这似乎有些奇怪。无论是逃避后续的医生检查，还是拒绝阅读一篇令人不安的新闻文章，这种行为都有一个名称：这就是“鸵鸟效应”，就像传说中那只把头埋进沙子里的鸵鸟一样)”可知，一位女士对她的信用卡账单视而不见体现了“鸵鸟效应”。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“By avoiding knowledge, people protect themselves, at least in the short term, from negative emotions.(通过避免获取知识，人们能够在短期内保护自己免受负面情绪的侵扰)”可知，“鸵鸟效应”出现是因为它能让我们避免感到痛苦。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“political divides or rigid beliefs(政治分歧或僵化的观念)”以及“When people deliberately tune out perspectives that challenge their worldview, they lose opportunities for growth, understanding, and connection.(当人们刻意忽视那些挑战其世界观的观点时，他们就会失去成长、理解和建立联系的机会)”可知，人们刻意忽视那些挑战其世界观的观点时就会失去成长、理解和建立联系的机会，即回避行为会加深政治分歧或固化僵化的观念。故划线词意思是“加深”。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“At its core, the Ostrich Effect reveals something deeply human. We are curious creatures, but also fragile ones. We want to know, yet we fear what knowing might mean. This push and pull shapes our decisions every day. This is why researchers stress the importance of teaching children not only to embrace curiosity, but also to develop resilience (韧性) and always grab the chance to learn, adapt, and succeed.(从本质上讲，“鸵鸟效应”揭示了人类内心深处的一些东西。我们是好奇的生物，但也是脆弱的。我们渴望了解，但又害怕了解后可能带来的后果。这种矛盾的心理每天都在影响着我们的决策。这就是为什么研究人员强调，教育孩子不仅要培养好奇心，还要培养坚韧的品质，并且要时刻抓住学习、适应和成功的机会)”结合本文介绍 “鸵鸟效应”，即人们刻意回避负面信息。实验显示儿童随年龄增长更易回避不利信息，原因是逃避负面情绪。该行为短期有益，但长期有害个人与社会，人们应保持好奇、增强韧性。可知，A选项“为何无知竟会如此美好”最符合文章标题。故选A。 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。 With the rise of smartphones and the internet, fragmented (碎片化) learning — studying in short, irregular periods — has become popular among students. Some people believe it is an effective way to learn, while others doubt its value. ____16____ Those in favor argue that it makes excellent use of otherwise lost time. For busy students with tight schedules, short breaks between classes, during commutes (通勤), or while waiting in line can be transformed into opportunities to review notes or watch educational clips. ____17____ This allows them to learn more without carving out extra time from their already packed days. On the other hand, critics highlight significant limitations. Studying in short bursts often proves inadequate for tackling complex topics that require deep, sustained thought, such as advanced mathematics or scientific theories. ____18____ Furthermore, the constant switching between tasks can make it difficult for learners to connect different concepts into an integrated whole. ____19____ For instance, using these brief periods to memorize vocabulary or simple formulas can be highly productive. Yet, grasping complex subjects requires extended focus. Having a clear, specific goal for each micro-session is also key to maintaining focus and direction. Ultimately, while fragmented learning is a powerful tool for maximizing the use of time, it cannot and should not completely replace traditional, focused study sessions. ____20____ The most effective approach lies not in choosing one method over the other, but in strategically combining both. A. It makes commute time especially productive. B. This efficiency is its biggest advantage for many. C. The risk of getting distracted is also higher this way. D. Choosing suitable materials is thus equally important. E. Therefore, balancing both methods is the true solution. F. So, is it a good learning method or a problematic trend? G. Its effectiveness largely depends on what is being learned. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. C 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨碎片化学习的利弊，指出其效果取决于学习内容，且无法替代传统学习，需将二者结合才是有效方法。 【16题详解】 根据前文“With the rise of smartphones and the internet, fragmented (碎片化) learning — studying in short, irregular periods — has become popular among students. Some people believe it is an effective way to learn, while others doubt its value. (随着智能手机和互联网的兴起，碎片化学习——即利用短暂、不规律的时间进行学习——在学生中变得流行起来。一些人认为这是一种有效的学习方式，而另一些人则对其价值表示怀疑。)”可知，前文提出了人们对碎片化学习的两种不同看法，此空应提出问题，引出后文对该学习方式的具体探讨，F选项“So, is it a good learning method or a problematic trend? (那么，它究竟是一种好的学习方法，还是一种有问题的趋势呢？)”承接前文的两种观点，以设问的方式引出后文的分析，符合语境。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Those in favor argue that it makes excellent use of otherwise lost time. For busy students with tight schedules, short breaks between classes, during commutes (通勤), or while waiting in line can be transformed into opportunities to review notes or watch educational clips. (支持者认为，它能充分利用原本会被浪费的时间。对于日程安排紧张的忙碌学生来说，课间、通勤途中或排队等待的短暂休息时间都可以变成复习笔记或观看教学片段的机会。)”以及后文“This allows them to learn more without carving out extra time from their already packed days. (这让他们能学到更多东西，而无需从本就排满的日子里挤出额外的时间。)”可知，前文讲述了碎片化学习能充分利用零散时间的特点，后文说明这一特点带来的结果，此空应点明这种时间利用的高效性是其最大优势，B选项“This efficiency is its biggest advantage for many. (对很多人来说，这种高效性是它最大的优势。)”中的This efficiency指代前文充分利用零散时间的特点，且衔接后文的结果，符合语境。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“On the other hand, critics highlight significant limitations. Studying in short bursts often proves inadequate for tackling complex topics that require deep, sustained thought, such as advanced mathematics or scientific theories. (另一方面，批评者强调了其显著的局限性。断断续续的短期学习往往不足以应对需要深入、持续思考的复杂课题，比如高等数学或科学理论。)”以及后文“Furthermore, the constant switching between tasks can make it difficult for learners to connect different concepts into an integrated whole. (此外，不断地在不同任务之间切换，会让学习者难以将不同的概念联系成一个完整的整体。)”可知，前文指出碎片化学习应对复杂课题的不足，后文以Furthermore衔接，说明其另一弊端，此空应补充碎片化学习的另一局限性，C选项“The risk of getting distracted is also higher this way. (这种学习方式也会让分心的风险更高。)”承接前文的局限性分析，且与后文的弊端形成并列，符合语境。故选C项。 【19题详解】 根据后文“For instance, using these brief periods to memorize vocabulary or simple formulas can be highly productive. Yet, grasping complex subjects requires extended focus. Having a clear, specific goal for each micro-session is also key to maintaining focus and direction. (例如，利用这些短暂的时间记忆单词或简单的公式会非常有效。然而，掌握复杂的学科则需要长时间的专注。为每一次碎片化学习设定清晰、具体的目标也是保持注意力和学习方向的关键。)”可知，后文通过举例说明碎片化学习的效果因学习内容不同而不同，此空应作为本段主题句，点明这一核心观点，G选项“Its effectiveness largely depends on what is being learned. (它的效果在很大程度上取决于学习的内容。)”能精准概括本段主题，且引出后文的举例说明，符合语境。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Ultimately, while fragmented learning is a powerful tool for maximizing the use of time, it cannot and should not completely replace traditional, focused study sessions. (归根结底，虽然碎片化学习是最大化利用时间的有力工具，但它不能也不应该完全取代传统的、专注的学习模式。)”以及后文“The most effective approach lies not in choosing one method over the other, but in strategically combining both. (最有效的方法不在于选择其中一种方式而放弃另一种，而在于有策略地将两者结合起来。)”可知，前文指出碎片化学习无法替代传统学习，后文点明将二者结合是有效方法，此空应衔接二者，说明平衡两种学习方式才是解决办法，E选项“Therefore, balancing both methods is the true solution. (因此，平衡这两种方式才是真正的解决办法。)”中的Therefore表总结，且衔接后文的结合两种方式的观点，符合语境。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用（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。 At 72, writer Francis Chin decided to learn something new.

Yet choosing to come on a weekend was clearly a mistake: The store was packed with hurried shoppers. I made my way through the crowded aisles with a single goal: to grab my chicken. Then I would escape back to my quiet apartment. When I reached the food counter, however, the warming shelf stood empty. A line had formed, and an employee called out that the next and last batch would be ready in ten minutes. I took my place at the back, already feeling the tiredness of the week sink in. Right behind me stood an elderly gentleman. As we waited, I couldn’t help but overhear his soft phone conversation: “Yes, sweetie, Grandpa hasn’t forgotten... I’ll bring your birthday chicken home soon. Be good until I’m back.” “His granddaughter must be a fan of the delicious chicken, “I thought — after all, these rotisserie chickens were always selling out fast. Yet I didn’t think much about the phone call, and instead focused on the food counter ahead. Soon, steaming chickens were brought out. The line moved forward and the supply decreased quickly. I found myself second to last in line, with only the elderly gentleman behind me. When I noticed there were only three chickens left, my heart sank — there was a real chance that I might leave empty-handed. Silently, I began praying that the friendly woman ahead, who had chatted with me earlier, would take only two. Then, just as I reached the front, I heard her say to the employee, “I’ll take two.” Relief and a spark of excitement rushed through me — my quiet prayer had been answered. The last chicken would be mine. 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。 However, just as I reached for the last carefully wrapped chicken, I hesitated. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, the friendly woman walked towards me and the elderly gentleman. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: However, just as I reached for the last carefully wrapped chicken, I hesitated. The elderly gentleman’s voice replayed in my mind — “I’ll bring your birthday chicken home soon.” This wasn’t just a meal — it was a promise meant for a child. Turning to him, I apologized for unintentionally overhearing his phone call and said softly, “Please, take it. Your granddaughter is waiting.” His eyes widened in surprise and then softened with emotion. “I couldn’t,” he insisted. “You were here before me.” We stood there for a moment, bound by courtesy and one golden chicken. Just then, the friendly woman walked towards me and the elderly gentleman. She had overheard our exchange. With a warm smile, she extended one of her packages to the elderly gentleman. “A promise should be honored,” she said kindly. “Please take this one — I bought an extra.” The elderly gentleman looked surprised at first, but then accepted it with a grateful smile, and I was finally able to take the last chicken from the counter. In that crowded store, a simple act of grace magically turned strangers into a warm community. 【解析】 【导语】本文以日常经历为线索展开，讲述了作者在疲惫的一周后，想去买一只烤鸡放松，却在店里遇到排队、烤鸡即将售罄的紧张情况。排队时作者无意中听到身后老人的电话，得知他是为孙女买生日烤鸡。就在作者即将拿到最后一只烤鸡时，内心产生挣扎，最终之前友善的女士主动伸出援手，把自己多买的一只烤鸡让给了老人，展现了陌生人之间温暖、善意的美好品质。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容 “然而，就在我伸手去拿最后一只精心包装好的烤鸡时，我犹豫了。” 可知，第一段可描写作者想起老人为孙女买生日烤鸡的承诺，内心挣扎并主动想把烤鸡让给老人的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容 “就在这时，那位友善的女士朝我和老先生走来。” 可知，第二段可描写女士主动让出自己多买的烤鸡，老人十分感激，作者也感受到温暖的场景。 2.续写线索：犹豫挣扎——想起老人的承诺——主动让鸡——老人推辞——女士解围——赠送烤鸡——皆大欢喜——感悟善意 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①在脑海中重现：replay in one’s mind/flash through one’s mind/ring in one’s mind ②无意中听到：overhear/hear by chance 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②感激的：grateful/thankful /appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1] Turning to him, I apologized for unintentionally overhearing his phone call and said softly, “Please, take it.

These short online works, 3 to 5 minutes each, integrate engaging stories with local scenery and culture. Below are several remarkable examples that have gained widespread popularity. 144 Hours in Ningbo This bilingual Chinese-English micro-drama narrates a time-travel story of an ancient French merchant who arrives in modern Ningbo. Filmed at iconic landmarks, the drama also showcases the city’s new energy vehicle industry and efficient customs clearance services. Each episode has been reposted more than 100,000 times on foreign platforms, enabling global audiences to witness Ningbo’s charm of openness. Hello, Chengdu As a light-hearted urban micro-drama, it centers on Chengdu’s 240-hour visa-free transit policy. It follows the journey of Gloria, a foreign girl visiting Chengdu. Through her adventure, viewers can explore numerous local highlights, including panda-shaped sugar figures and Sichuan opera face-changing performances. Plus, it features Chengdu’s intangible cultural heritage like Qingcheng martial arts. Never Tired of Being a Lingnan Resident In Guangdong Province, this micro-drama has over 15 million online views since its release. With historical figures like Su Shi serving as story tellers, it connects scenic spots in Huizhou, Zhanjiang and other cities, blending ancient culture with modern humorous expressions. It also reflects local intangible heritages such as Leizhou opera, boosting the popularity of the shooting locations. Love Destiny （Thailand） Though longer than conventional micro-dramas, its short and vivid plot clips have spread extensively online. It displays Ayutthaya’s ancient temples and Thai court life. After its broadcast, more than 400,000 tourists visited Ayutthaya. Local restaurants launched drama-themed menus, and Thai silk workshops invited craftsmen to demonstrate weaving skills, making traditional culture more accessible to tourists. 1.

It helps global audiences see Ningbo’s open charm. D. It presents Ningbo’s traditional diet and customs. 2. Which micro-drama focuses on a city’s visa-related policy? A. 144 Hours in Ningbo B.

They all use historical figures as story tellers. B We were sailing on a white boat through the clear waters of Turks and Caicos. The view was so beautiful that even my teenage daughter, Kavya, paused her usual rudeness to admire the scenery and breathe in the salty air. Instead of relaxing by the pools, we had spent the previous day training for our big scuba (潜水) trip. We took a course with written tests and did two exhausting pool practices. Now, the moment had arrived. Our instructor was about to place the helmets on our heads. I took a deep breath. This was it — my chance to connect with Kavya through a new experience, something we could finally share. But suddenly, Kavya pulled my arm. Her face showed the same worried look she had during math homework. I could sense her emotions tightening under her diving suit. Just as the instructor approached, she whispered, “Dad, can I quit?” The waves sounded louder, the gear (设备) heavier. Surprisingly, I didn’t say what I normally would: “Quitting is not an option!” I even stopped myself from thinking, “But this was my plan.” Trying to give her a gentle hug in the heavy gear only resulted in me splashing water all over her and making us both laugh awkwardly. When she was little, connecting with Kavya was effortless. I knew everything about her, and she always joined my adventures with pure excitement. But as she grew older, she discovered her own interests, drifting away from mine. What followed were sighs, eye-rolls, and half-hearted “I guess so” replies. I had hoped this scuba course would bring us closer again. I didn’t expect her quitting to hit me so hard or so suddenly. Even without the dive, we enjoyed our vacation. We swam, collected seashells, and played word games. In those slow, quiet moments, I realized joy isn’t only in big adventures. It wasn’t the moment of closeness I had imagined — but it turned out to be exactly the one we needed. 4. Why did the author train hard for the diving trip? A. To impress the instructor. B. To relax in natural beauty. C. To grow closer to his daughter. D. To challenge himself physically. 5. Which of the following best describes the author according to paragraph 3? A. Strict and determined. B. Insightful and inspiring. C. Energetic and encouraging. D. Thoughtful and understanding. 6. Which could be a suggestion from the author to parents of teenagers? A. Be adaptive. B. Be courageous. C. Be protective. D. Be adventurous. 7. What key message is expressed in the story? A. Nature helps to bridge generation gaps. B. Bonding happens naturally in shared moments. C. Scheduled adventures ruin true happiness. D. Connections rely heavily on thoughtful planning. C Today, with the help of AI tools, anyone can instantly generate impressive architectural images. Yet this raises a serious question for architects: if technology lowers the technical barrier, what remains the true value of design? The answer, many experts believe, lies in deeper philosophical thinking. Architecture is not only about structure. It also reflects how humans understand life. This understanding begins with the individual — how a building can shape people’s emotions. It then extends to the community — whether a neighborhood design brings people together or drives them apart. Ultimately, it touches upon time itself — how to balance the preservation of historical identity with the need for change. In many cities, preserving every old structure, no matter its function or relevance, has become something of a sacred cow, admired by all but discussed by few. Yet true architectural philosophy requires us to ask whether preserving everything always serves the community’s best interest. AI can copy thousands of design styles, but it cannot make value judgments. It does not know why, for instance, a library in Colombia places its reading rooms — not offices — in the brightest and highest spaces: a design choice symbolizing equality. As scholar Nayef Al-Rodhan points out, “good design should possess valuable qualities, including fairness, inclusion, and safety, which cannot be outsourced to AI.” In the future, the best architects may not be those who master AI tools, but those who master philosophical reflection. Saudi Arabia’s planned city “The Line” is one such example. Its design is not only technological but also philosophical — it asks whether humans can create a sustainable city that allows people to live in harmony with nature. By turning a traditional city into a single vertical (垂直的) line, it challenges our deepest assumptions about urban life. Freed from repetitive drafting work, architects in the age of AI must think more deeply about humanity, community, and sustainability. The great designs of the future will emerge where technology meets philosophy, not where one replaces the other. 8. What is the main function of paragraph 2 in the passage? A. To introduce examples of modern cities. B. To compare architecture with philosophy. C. To describe how AI will change construction. D. To present architecture from a philosophical view. 9. What can we learn from the example of the library in Colombia? A. Great design is human-centered. B. AI will reshape public buildings. C. The best design feels almost invisible. D. Equality is the core of modern design. 10. Which of the following best describes the nature of “The Line”? A. A philosophy-guided theory. B. An eco-friendly city project. C. A social-welfare housing plan. D. An economically-driven design. 11. According to the passage, what should architects do in the age of AI? A. Shift from drawing to building. B. Bring soul and meaning to designs. C. Employ AI as a powerful co-pilot. D. Prioritize philosophy over function. D In a world overflowing with information, it may seem odd that people often go out of their way not to learn something. Whether it’s skipping a follow-up doctor’s appointment or refusing to read an unsettling news article, this tendency has a name: the “Ostrich (鸵鸟) Effect,” just like the bird supposedly burying its head in the sand. Researchers at the University of Chicago set out to understand when and why this occurs. In one experiment, children aged from 5 to 10 were asked to imagine their favorite and least favorite candy. Then came the choice: Would they like to watch a video about why eating that candy was bad for their teeth? Children at the age of 5 or 6 wanted to know — good or bad, the information itself was exciting. Older children, however, hesitated. They were much less interested in hearing about the downsides of their favorite treat, though they had no problem learning why their least favorite candy was bad. So why do children transform from fearless learners into strategic avoiders? The answer lies in emotions. Information is not neutral (中立的) — it often carries consequences for how we feel. News about our health, abilities, or beliefs can trigger disappointment, anxiety, or shame. By avoiding knowledge, people protect themselves, at least in the short term, from negative emotions. Sparing ourselves from distress can be protective, yet when avoidance becomes habitual, the costs can outweigh the benefits. At a personal level, refusing to learn important medical information can endanger health. At a societal level, avoidance may entrench political divides or rigid beliefs. When people deliberately tune out perspectives that challenge their worldview, they lose opportunities for growth, understanding, and connection. At its core, the Ostrich Effect reveals something deeply human. We are curious creatures, but also fragile ones. We want to know, yet we fear what knowing might mean. This push and pull shapes our decisions every day. This is why researchers stress the importance of teaching children not only to embrace curiosity, but also to develop resilience (韧性) and always grab the chance to learn, adapt, and succeed. 12. Which of the following shows the “Ostrich Effect”? A. A student actively seeks feedback from teachers. B. A woman turns a blind eye to her credit card bills. C. A boy refuses to attend his cousin’s birthday party. D. An employee buries himself in research and data analysis. 13. Why does the “Ostrich Effect” occur? A. It blocks out distractions. B. It keeps us from feeling bad. C. It helps us see things positively. D. It encourages independent thinking. 14. What does the underlined word “entrench” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Expose. B. Remove. C. Deepen. D. Transform. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Why Not Knowing Can Seem So Sweet B. Why Embracing Curiosity Truly Matters C. The Ostrich Effect: Comfort is the Best Option D. From Candy to Curiosity: The Evolution of Resilience 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。 With the rise of smartphones and the internet, fragmented (碎片化) learning — studying in short, irregular periods — has become popular among students. Some people believe it is an effective way to learn, while others doubt its value. ____16____ Those in favor argue that it makes excellent use of otherwise lost time. For busy students with tight schedules, short breaks between classes, during commutes (通勤), or while waiting in line can be transformed into opportunities to review notes or watch educational clips. ____17____ This allows them to learn more without carving out extra time from their already packed days. On the other hand, critics highlight significant limitations. Studying in short bursts often proves inadequate for tackling complex topics that require deep, sustained thought, such as advanced mathematics or scientific theories. ____18____ Furthermore, the constant switching between tasks can make it difficult for learners to connect different concepts into an integrated whole. ____19____ For instance, using these brief periods to memorize vocabulary or simple formulas can be highly productive. Yet, grasping complex subjects requires extended focus. Having a clear, specific goal for each micro-session is also key to maintaining focus and direction. Ultimately, while fragmented learning is a powerful tool for maximizing the use of time, it cannot and should not completely replace traditional, focused study sessions. ____20____ The most effective approach lies not in choosing one method over the other, but in strategically combining both. A. It makes commute time especially productive. B. This efficiency is its biggest advantage for many. C. The risk of getting distracted is also higher this way. D. Choosing suitable materials is thus equally important. E. Therefore, balancing both methods is the true solution. F. So, is it a good learning method or a problematic trend? G. Its effectiveness largely depends on what is being learned. 第三部分 语言运用（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。 At 72, writer Francis Chin decided to learn something new.

Yet choosing to come on a weekend was clearly a mistake: The store was packed with hurried shoppers. I made my way through the crowded aisles with a single goal: to grab my chicken. Then I would escape back to my quiet apartment. When I reached the food counter, however, the warming shelf stood empty. A line had formed, and an employee called out that the next and last batch would be ready in ten minutes. I took my place at the back, already feeling the tiredness of the week sink in. Right behind me stood an elderly gentleman. As we waited, I couldn’t help but overhear his soft phone conversation: “Yes, sweetie, Grandpa hasn’t forgotten... I’ll bring your birthday chicken home soon. Be good until I’m back.” “His granddaughter must be a fan of the delicious chicken, “I thought — after all, these rotisserie chickens were always selling out fast. Yet I didn’t think much about the phone call, and instead focused on the food counter ahead. Soon, steaming chickens were brought out. The line moved forward and the supply decreased quickly. I found myself second to last in line, with only the elderly gentleman behind me. When I noticed there were only three chickens left, my heart sank — there was a real chance that I might leave empty-handed. Silently, I began praying that the friendly woman ahead, who had chatted with me earlier, would take only two. Then, just as I reached the front, I heard her say to the employee, “I’ll take two.” Relief and a spark of excitement rushed through me — my quiet prayer had been answered. The last chicken would be mine. 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。 However, just as I reached for the last carefully wrapped chicken, I hesitated. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, the friendly woman walked towards me and the elderly gentleman. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
