It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager itching to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening. So I left. I headed north for a four-year academic journey from York to Durham. After university, having played at newspapers, I made the move to London to do it for real. But the reality was tough. I struggled to contribute to various dailies before periods on staff at both magazines and newspapers. In my twenties, I threw myself into city life: sampling Mediterranean restaurants, navigating around on the Tube, and staying out late with friends. For a while, it was enough. Then it became too much. In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more — just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke. As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once dismissed. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive. Artists, creatives, and technologists have been priced out of London and are pouring to Thanet, bringing new ideas and drive. Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d outgrown has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting. I’ll keep returning to Thanet, with eager willingness. Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become. 4. Why did the author want to leave Ramsgate? A. It offered few job opportunities. B. It lacked modern entertainment. C. It stuck to values he disagreed with. D. It failed to satisfy his desire to explore. 5. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s life in London? A. Rich in possibilities. B. Socially diverse. C. Filled with challenges. D. Financially stressful. 6. What can we learn about the author’s bond with Thanet over time? A. It remains stable and strong. B. It is influenced by public opinions. C. It shifts from rejection to reconnection. D. It is shaped by his childhood experience. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Sea in Memory B. Four Years Up North C. The Hometown Out of Reach D. A Growing Place, a Growing Me 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者离开家乡Ramsgate去伦敦打拼，历经挑战后回到家乡，重新认识并爱上家乡的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager itching to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening. (当我年轻的时候，我迫不及待地想要逃离拉姆斯盖特，这个我在萨尼特岛上长大的海港小镇。它可能会让人觉得很小：同样的面孔出现在同样的地方，一个新的咖啡馆或画廊常常会遭到质疑。显然，人们坚持认为生活本该如此。但对于一个渴望看到更多的青少年来说，这种缺乏好奇心是令人沮丧的)”可知，作者想要离开拉姆斯盖特是因为这个地方无法满足他探索的欲望。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“But the reality was tough. I struggled to contribute to various dailies before periods on staff at both magazines and newspapers. (但现实是残酷的。在杂志和报纸工作之前，我努力为各种日报撰稿)”和第三段中“In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more — just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke. (在一顿顿分食小碟菜的聚餐间隙，我发现自己陷入了一场永无止境的激烈竞争，要更快地行动，需要赚更多的钱，只是为了跟上节奏。伦敦的房租压力很大，公寓很小，但拥有一个公寓的梦想感觉就像一个残酷的玩笑)”可知，作者在伦敦的生活充满了挑战。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. (当我年轻的时候，我迫不及待地想要逃离拉姆斯盖特，这个我在萨尼特岛上长大的海港小镇)”和第四段“As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once dismissed. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive. Artists, creatives, and technologists have been priced out of London and are pouring to Thanet, bringing new ideas and drive. Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d outgrown has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting. (随着年龄的增长，回到萨尼特岛的旅行让我看清了自己留下的东西。主要是大海。宽阔的黄色沙滩，甚至空气中盐的味道，在童年时很普通，突然变得吸引人。但我也开始怀念小镇生活的节奏：向街上的人挥手，注意谁的花园杂草丛生，甚至在我曾经不屑一顾的酒吧里也能找到魅力。更重要的是，我曾经匆匆离开的地方，现在别人却急着来。艺术家、创意人士和科技人员因为伦敦的高房价而离开，纷纷涌向萨尼特岛，带来了新的想法和动力。现在，当我回到家乡时，我感到既自豪又有些惊讶：我曾经以为自己早已超越、已经不再适合的地方，却有了意想不到的改头换面)”可知，作者对Thanet的情感随着时间的推移从最初的排斥转变为后来的重新连接和热爱。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段中“Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become. (每一次到访都提醒我，地方和人一样，可以在不失去本质的情况下成长。我已经不再仅仅把萨尼特岛当作我离开的家;它现在是它继续成为的地方)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者离开家乡去伦敦打拼，历经挑战后回到家乡，重新认识并爱上家乡的故事，表达了作者对家乡和自身成长的深刻感悟。故D项“A Growing Place, a Growing Me(一个成长的地方，一个成长的我)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选D项。 C Are you an open book, your face broadcasting every passing emotion, or more of a “poker face”, not showing what you are feeling? Scientists at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) say that wearing your heart on your face could actually give you a significant social advantage. The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a research fellow at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking variations in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressiveness across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months. The researchers say that facial expressiveness is linked to personality, with more agreeable individuals displaying more lively faces. Facial expressiveness can also translate into concrete social benefits. In a negotiation (谈判) task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that agreeable, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationships and smoothing over conflicts. Across the board, the results point to facial expressiveness serving an “affiliative (有亲和力的) function”, or a social glue that develops liking and smoother interactions. Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more “readable”, suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to interpret. Beyond frequency of facial movements, people who employ facial expressions more strategically to suit social goals, such as looking friendly in a greeting, are also more well-liked. The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. As the researchers conclude, “Being facially expressive is socially advantageous.” So, next time you catch yourself making lines on your forehead, or flashing a smile, know that your face just might be working on your behalf. 8. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A. By making a comparison. B. By giving an example. C. By providing a definition. D. By listing statistics. 9. What may facial expressiveness act as in negotiation settings? A. A method to hide personality. B. A way to frighten competitors. C. A strategy to settle disagreement. D. A tool to show personal qualities. 10. What is a common misunderstanding about “poker face” according to the passage? A. It helps people gain more trust during negotiations. B. It makes a person appear more friendly and approachable. C. It is often a very beneficial way to present oneself. D. It is a skill that can be easily learned through practice. 11. What may the author advise based on the findings of the study? A. Always wearing a still face. B. Learning to be an open book. C. Speaking out inner emotions. D. Forcing a smile through tears. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于面部表情表达力的研究，研究发现面部表情丰富的人更容易获得社交优势，挑战了“扑克脸”更有益的传统观念。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Are you an open book, your face broadcasting every passing emotion, or more of a “poker face”, not showing what you are feeling? Scientists at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) say that wearing your heart on your face could actually give you a significant social advantage.(你是一本打开的书，脸上流露着每一种情感，还是更像“扑克脸”，不表露自己的感受？诺丁汉特伦特大学的科学家表示，把你的情绪表露在脸上，实际上可能会给你带来显著的社交优势)”可知，作者通过对比“情绪外露”和“面无表情”这两种类型来引入话题。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In a negotiation (谈判) task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that agreeable, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationships and smoothing over conflicts. (在谈判任务中，表情更丰富的人更有可能获得更大份额的奖励。研究人员认为，友善、生动的面部表情可能成为建立良好关系和化解冲突的工具)”可知，在谈判环境中，面部表情表达力是化解冲突的工具，可以作为化解分歧的策略。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. (这些发现挑战了“扑克脸”这一普遍观念，即静止、不带情绪的外表总是最有利的)”可知，关于“扑克脸”的一个常见误解是它是一种非常有益的自我表现方式。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. (相反，研究表明，对大多数人来说，让面部表情反映内心状态和意图可以引发更温暖的回应)”以及“Being facially expressive is socially advantageous. (面部表情丰富在社交上是有利的)”可知，基于研究结果，作者可能会建议人们学会做一本“打开的书”，即情绪外露、表情丰富。故选B项。 D Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers have long dreamed of tools to supercharge science-asking novel questions, designing and running experiments. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have made discoveries that some AI developers claim have inched us closer to that future. But how do you test whether an AI model can truly do science? For answers, researchers turn to benchmarks (基准): standardized sets of questions or tasks that help measure an AI’s efficiency and reliability and compare it against other models. But the complexity of science makes assessing their aptitude especially challenging. As Hao Peng, a computer scientist at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, puts it: “Models have all this knowledge. Do they know how to use it?” Dozens of new science-focused benchmarks have emerged over the past year to answer that question, but scientists have yet to settle on a single best approach. One of the most popular, published in Nature, is Humanity’s Last Exam (HLE). It uses 2500 questions drawn from “the frontier of human knowledge” to put LLMs through their paces. One, for example, asks how many types of sensory receptors the human skin contains. “We wanted a diverse dataset that only experts who have been working on a field for a long time can answer,” says Long Phan, a research engineer with the HLE’s developer. Since the HLE first appeared as a preprint in January 2025, the benchmark has become an important proving ground for LLMs and HLE scores are now a common talking point for AI companies seeking to highlight the capabilities of their products. At the HLE’s launch, the leading developer OpenAI of model won the best score at a mere 8.3%. Earlier this month, Google claimed that its latest reasoning model for science, called Gemini 3 Deep Think, had achieved a new record HLE score of 48.4%. But some scientists argue that many of the HLE’s questions test for little-known or even useless knowledge, rather than an ability to do meaningful research. A Nature editorial accompanying the HLE’s publication also raised this issue: “We think that more scientists should be asking: What would it take to develop an AI benchmark that truly measures expert-level thinking?” 12. What does the underlined word “aptitude” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Knowledge. B. Competence. C. Speed. D. Interest. 13. What does Long Phan stress about HLE? A. Its topic diversity. B. Experts’ involvement in it. C. The expertise of its dataset. D. Its data-backed popularity. 14. Why does the author mention “a Nature editorial” in the last paragraph? A. To show that HLE is widely accepted by the scientific community. B. To prove that AI companies rely too much on benchmark scores. C. To explain how HLE was developed with the help of experts. D. To present a critical perspective on whether HLE truly measures meaningful research. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. Can AI Really Think Like a Scientist? B. Are We Asking the Right Questions About AI? C. Is HLE the Right Tool to Test AI? D. Do High Scores Mean Real Progress? 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文探讨如何测评 AI 的科研能力，热门测评标准 HLE 被广泛使用且 AI 分数大幅提升，但它侧重冷门知识，无法真正衡量专业科研思维，遭到不少科学家质疑。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“For answers, researchers turn to benchmarks (基准): standardized sets of questions or tasks that help measure an AI’s efficiency and reliability and compare it against other models.( 为寻找答案，研究人员转向了基准测试：标准化的一系列问题或任务，用于衡量 AI 的效率和可靠性，并将其与其他模型进行比较。)”以及划线单词句中“But the complexity of science makes assessing their … especially challenging.( 但科学的复杂性使得评估它们的……尤其具有挑战性。)”可知，前文讲述要用基准测试衡量 AI 的效率、可靠性，判断其能否真正从事科学研究。aptitude 此处指“能力、才干”，和B选项Competence“能力”意思相近。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““We wanted a diverse dataset that only experts who have been working on a field for a long time can answer,” says Long Phan, a research engineer with the HLE’s developer.( “我们希望获得一个内容多样、只有长期从事某一领域研究的专家才能解答的数据集，”HLE的开发者之一Long Phan说道。)”可推知，Long Phan 强调 HLE 的题库门槛极高，只有深耕领域的专业人士才能作答，突出数据集的专业度。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But some scientists argue that many of the HLE’s questions test for little-known or even useless knowledge, rather than an ability to do meaningful research. A Nature editorial accompanying the HLE’s publication also raised this issue: “We think that more scientists should be asking: What would it take to develop an AI benchmark that truly measures expert-level thinking?”(但一些科学家认为，HLE 的许多问题所测试的只是鲜为人知甚至毫无用处的知识，而非进行有意义研究的能力。与 HLE 发布相关的《自然》杂志的一篇社论也提出了这一问题：“我们认为，更多的科学家应该思考：要开发一个真正能衡量专家思维水平的 AI 基准，需要具备哪些条件？”)”可知，本段先提出部分科学家质疑：HLE 侧重冷门无用知识，而非科研能力；再引用《自然》社论，呼吁研发真正衡量高阶思维的 AI 测评标准。由此可知，引用社论是为补充批判视角，质疑 HLE 能否有效衡量真正的科研能力。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“Recently, large language models (LLMs) have made discoveries that some AI developers claim have inched us closer to that future. But how do you test whether an AI model can truly do science?( 最近，大型语言模型（LLM）取得了多项发现，一些 AI 开发者声称这些发现使我们离那个未来又近了一步。但如何检验一个 AI 模型是否真的能够进行科学研究呢？)”可知，本文探讨如何测评 AI 的科研能力，热门测评标准 HLE 被广泛使用且 AI 分数大幅提升，但它侧重冷门知识，无法真正衡量专业科研思维，遭到不少科学家质疑。全文核心围绕：HLE 是否是测试 AI 科研能力的合适工具展开。由此可知，这篇文章的最佳标题是“HLE 是否是测试人工智能的合适工具？”。故选C项。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When asked for a reasoning or answer to a question, do you find yourself-needing to explain your thoughts at length, going into too much detail to ensure that your points are made? ____16____. You tend to explain something in more detail — than required and beyond what is useful. ____17____ For someone asking a question, an overexplained answer can be quite confusing when a direct and simple response just works. However, for the person answering, they feel worried that the “direct and simple response’’ doesn’t get across enough information. Overexplaining may start from a young age, especially for those who grew up in a house where they felt like they weren’t listened to or heard. ____18____This fear can follow into adulthood and lead to a need to explain everything so that they’re not punished again. Overexplaining might have developed as a handling strategy and defence mechanism, making it hard to stop, especially when coupled with a fear of rejection or being abandoned. It’s hard to stop overexplaining when it’s hardwired into your brain. The key is being aware and noticing when you’re explaining more than you should. Once you recognize it, you can try to hold back a little, It takes time to learn how to wrestle with the urge to say more. ____19____. One of the hardest things is learning to “just say no”, When you’re asked to do something you don’t really want to do, it can be difficult not to explain in detail. ____20____In truth, the overexplanation is more to ease your sense of guilt. However, you don’t owe anyone an explanation in a decline. It’s perfectly okay to simply say, “No, but thank you for the offer.” A. In this case you are overexplaining. B. But it gets easier with more practice. C. You feel sorry for what you have explained. D. Overexplaining upsets both ends of the conversation. E. They were worried about the environment they grew up in. F. Maybe they even got punished without a chance to explain. G. By overexplaining, you intend to save the other person’s feelings. 【答案】16. A 17. D 18. F 19. B 20.

However, you don’t owe anyone an explanation in a decline. It’s perfectly okay to simply say, “No, but thank you for the offer.”(事实上，过度解释更多是为了缓解你的内疚感。然而，在拒绝时，你并不欠任何人一个解释。简单地说“不，但谢谢你的提议”是完全可以的。)”说明了过度解释在拒绝时的心理动机以及正确的做法。G选项“By overexplaining, you intend to save the other person’s feelings.(通过过度解释，你试图保护对方的感情。)”与下文中的“the overexplanation is more to ease your sense of guilt”相呼应，解释了为什么人们会在拒绝时过度解释，即试图保护对方的感情或缓解自己的内疚感，符合题意。故选G。 第三部分 英语知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Glen Edwards became a hero when he rescued a construction worker trapped on the top of a 16-story burning building.

The Maple with its Olympic-size pool and award-winning restaurant was a perfect destination. Located atop a hill overlooking an ocean, it was within walking distance of a nearby town. At the other end of the road was a lighthouse where sightseers could climb the winding staircase to the observation spot. This trip promised to be fantastic — until the rain poured down. The more I prayed, the harder it rained. We had to find a shelter to wait for the rain to stop. When we managed to get to The Maple, it was late at night. The door of the indoor pool was locked. And it wouldn’t be open the next day, for it needed upgrading that day. I felt tears in my eyes. Bill comforted, “We can have dinner in the restaurant you like.” So, we walked to the hotel restaurant, but were greeted by a sign: Closed on Mondays. “Oh, I just studied the introduction to its delicious food! I thought it was open all the time,” I said to Bill. “I’m so sorry.” “Relax, honey,” Bill said, “There must be something open in the nearby town.” Soon, Bill and I found an old-fashioned restaurant in the town. There, we enjoyed our dinner while recalling our happy memories. When we considered having some dessert, the flash of a sign caught my attention. “Homemade ice cream,” it read. “Thirty flavors.” We ran to the corner shop, ordered several flavors and ate the whole thing. We felt like carefree teenagers! When we returned to The Maple, Bill said, “Well, things didn’t go as expected. But tomorrow morning we can still climb to the top of the lighthouse before we drive back home. I know how much you want to do that.” The following morning, as we approached the lighthouse, we saw another sign: CLOSED FOR REPAIRS. The storm must have damaged the lighthouse! 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。 “Look! The beach ahead is still open. We can go there,” I said to Bill cheerfully. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As we drove home, Bill said to me, “This trip certainly didn’t go as planned, did it?” _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Look! The beach ahead is still open. We can go there,” I said to Bill cheerfully. Bill’s eyes lit up, and he quickly parked the car. We rushed out, kicking off our shoes to feel the cool sand under our feet. I laughed as a small wave touched my toes, and Bill grabbed my hand to spin me around. We walked along the shore, picking up smooth shells now and then. The rain had stopped, leaving a bright rainbow in the sky. I felt my disappointment fade away, replaced by pure joy — this unplanned moment was more special than any fancy pool or restaurant. As we drove home, Bill said to me, “This trip certainly didn’t go as planned, did it?” I smiled and shook my head. “But it was better than planned,” I replied. I thought about our funny run to the ice cream shop and the warm walk on the beach. Those little surprises made our anniversary feel unique. Bill reached over to hold my hand, and I squeezed it softly. “Next year, maybe we’ll plan less and just enjoy whatever comes,” he said. I nodded happily, knowing that even when things go wrong, being with him turns ordinary moments into precious memories. This trip wasn’t what we expected, but it was exactly what we needed. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和丈夫计划去一个宁静的海滨目的地度过浪漫的周年纪念日，却遭遇了一场意外风暴。他们入住的酒店室内泳池因升级关闭，餐厅周一也不营业。他们去附近小镇找到一家老式餐厅用餐，还去吃了自制冰淇淋。第二天他们原计划去爬灯塔，却发现灯塔因风暴受损关闭。不过作者和丈夫在意外中发现了别样的快乐，让这个周年纪念日变得独特而难忘。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘看！前面的海滩还开着。我们可以去那里。’我高兴地对比尔说。”可知，第一段可描写作者和丈夫去海滩后发生的事情以及作者的心情。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们开车回家时，比尔对我说：‘这次旅行肯定没有按计划进行，对吧？’”可知，第二段可描写作者对这次旅行的看法以及作者和丈夫的感悟。 2.续写线索：去海滩——在海滩上的活动——心情变化——开车回家路上谈论旅行——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①冲出去：rush out/dash out ②握住：grab/grasp ③消失：fade away/disappear 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/delight ②开心地：happily/joyfully 【点睛】[高分句型1] We rushed out, kicking off our shoes to feel the cool sand under our feet.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] This trip wasn’t what we expected, but it was exactly what we needed.（运用了what引导的名词性从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 丰城九中2025-2026学年下学期高二4月阶段性检测 英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟 试卷总分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三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。 1.

It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager itching to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening. So I left. I headed north for a four-year academic journey from York to Durham. After university, having played at newspapers, I made the move to London to do it for real. But the reality was tough. I struggled to contribute to various dailies before periods on staff at both magazines and newspapers. In my twenties, I threw myself into city life: sampling Mediterranean restaurants, navigating around on the Tube, and staying out late with friends. For a while, it was enough. Then it became too much. In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more — just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke. As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once dismissed. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive. Artists, creatives, and technologists have been priced out of London and are pouring to Thanet, bringing new ideas and drive. Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d outgrown has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting. I’ll keep returning to Thanet, with eager willingness. Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become. 4. Why did the author want to leave Ramsgate? A. It offered few job opportunities. B.

Four Years Up North C. The Hometown Out of Reach D. A Growing Place, a Growing Me C Are you an open book, your face broadcasting every passing emotion, or more of a “poker face”, not showing what you are feeling? Scientists at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) say that wearing your heart on your face could actually give you a significant social advantage. The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a research fellow at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking variations in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressiveness across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months. The researchers say that facial expressiveness is linked to personality, with more agreeable individuals displaying more lively faces. Facial expressiveness can also translate into concrete social benefits. In a negotiation (谈判) task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that agreeable, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationships and smoothing over conflicts. Across the board, the results point to facial expressiveness serving an “affiliative (有亲和力的) function”, or a social glue that develops liking and smoother interactions. Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more “readable”, suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to interpret. Beyond frequency of facial movements, people who employ facial expressions more strategically to suit social goals, such as looking friendly in a greeting, are also more well-liked. The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. As the researchers conclude, “Being facially expressive is socially advantageous.” So, next time you catch yourself making lines on your forehead, or flashing a smile, know that your face just might be working on your behalf. 8. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A. By making a comparison. B. By giving an example. C. By providing a definition. D. By listing statistics. 9. What may facial expressiveness act as in negotiation settings? A. A method to hide personality. B. A way to frighten competitors. C. A strategy to settle disagreement. D. A tool to show personal qualities. 10. What is a common misunderstanding about “poker face” according to the passage? A. It helps people gain more trust during negotiations. B. It makes a person appear more friendly and approachable. C. It is often a very beneficial way to present oneself. D. It is a skill that can be easily learned through practice. 11. What may the author advise based on the findings of the study? A. Always wearing a still face. B. Learning to be an open book. C. Speaking out inner emotions. D. Forcing a smile through tears. D Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers have long dreamed of tools to supercharge science-asking novel questions, designing and running experiments. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have made discoveries that some AI developers claim have inched us closer to that future. But how do you test whether an AI model can truly do science? For answers, researchers turn to benchmarks (基准): standardized sets of questions or tasks that help measure an AI’s efficiency and reliability and compare it against other models. But the complexity of science makes assessing their aptitude especially challenging. As Hao Peng, a computer scientist at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, puts it: “Models have all this knowledge. Do they know how to use it?” Dozens of new science-focused benchmarks have emerged over the past year to answer that question, but scientists have yet to settle on a single best approach. One of the most popular, published in Nature, is Humanity’s Last Exam (HLE). It uses 2500 questions drawn from “the frontier of human knowledge” to put LLMs through their paces. One, for example, asks how many types of sensory receptors the human skin contains. “We wanted a diverse dataset that only experts who have been working on a field for a long time can answer,” says Long Phan, a research engineer with the HLE’s developer. Since the HLE first appeared as a preprint in January 2025, the benchmark has become an important proving ground for LLMs and HLE scores are now a common talking point for AI companies seeking to highlight the capabilities of their products. At the HLE’s launch, the leading developer OpenAI of model won the best score at a mere 8.3%. Earlier this month, Google claimed that its latest reasoning model for science, called Gemini 3 Deep Think, had achieved a new record HLE score of 48.4%. But some scientists argue that many of the HLE’s questions test for little-known or even useless knowledge, rather than an ability to do meaningful research. A Nature editorial accompanying the HLE’s publication also raised this issue: “We think that more scientists should be asking: What would it take to develop an AI benchmark that truly measures expert-level thinking?” 12. What does the underlined word “aptitude” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Knowledge. B. Competence. C. Speed. D. Interest. 13. What does Long Phan stress about HLE? A. Its topic diversity. B. Experts’ involvement in it. C. The expertise of its dataset. D. Its data-backed popularity. 14. Why does the author mention “a Nature editorial” in the last paragraph? A. To show that HLE is widely accepted by the scientific community. B. To prove that AI companies rely too much on benchmark scores. C. To explain how HLE was developed with the help of experts. D. To present a critical perspective on whether HLE truly measures meaningful research. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. Can AI Really Think Like a Scientist? B. Are We Asking the Right Questions About AI? C. Is HLE the Right Tool to Test AI? D. Do High Scores Mean Real Progress? 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When asked for a reasoning or answer to a question, do you find yourself-needing to explain your thoughts at length, going into too much detail to ensure that your points are made? ____16____. You tend to explain something in more detail — than required and beyond what is useful. ____17____ For someone asking a question, an overexplained answer can be quite confusing when a direct and simple response just works.

The Maple with its Olympic-size pool and award-winning restaurant was a perfect destination. Located atop a hill overlooking an ocean, it was within walking distance of a nearby town. At the other end of the road was a lighthouse where sightseers could climb the winding staircase to the observation spot. This trip promised to be fantastic — until the rain poured down. The more I prayed, the harder it rained. We had to find a shelter to wait for the rain to stop. When we managed to get to The Maple, it was late at night. The door of the indoor pool was locked. And it wouldn’t be open the next day, for it needed upgrading that day. I felt tears in my eyes. Bill comforted, “We can have dinner in the restaurant you like.” So, we walked to the hotel restaurant, but were greeted by a sign: Closed on Mondays. “Oh, I just studied the introduction to its delicious food! I thought it was open all the time,” I said to Bill. “I’m so sorry.” “Relax, honey,” Bill said, “There must be something open in the nearby town.” Soon, Bill and I found an old-fashioned restaurant in the town. There, we enjoyed our dinner while recalling our happy memories. When we considered having some dessert, the flash of a sign caught my attention. “Homemade ice cream,” it read. “Thirty flavors.” We ran to the corner shop, ordered several flavors and ate the whole thing. We felt like carefree teenagers! When we returned to The Maple, Bill said, “Well, things didn’t go as expected. But tomorrow morning we can still climb to the top of the lighthouse before we drive back home. I know how much you want to do that.” The following morning, as we approached the lighthouse, we saw another sign: CLOSED FOR REPAIRS. The storm must have damaged the lighthouse! 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。 “Look! The beach ahead is still open. We can go there,” I said to Bill cheerfully. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As we drove home, Bill said to me, “This trip certainly didn’t go as planned, did it?” _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
