After the first six rounds, one member of some teams was ____21____ by an intelligent agent. Over the next six rounds, those groups gathered, on average, three fewer ingredients than groups that remained in their original ____22____. The conclusion: When AI teammates come on board, performance drops. ____23____ studies have already explored the impact of artificial intelligence on individual and firm productivity, but the researchers aimed to understand how AI affects organizational teams internally. ____24____, most work is done in teams. They were curious about the consequences of adding intelligent agents to teams, not just for the people interacting directly with those agents. The researchers also sought to examine what impact it had on the behavior and attitudes of colleagues who ____25____ those interactions. In the rounds of individual play, the AI players proved far superior to human players. In fact, only 3% of human players ____26____ the AI players. The team results were a different story. In the initial round after the AI players joined, teams with an AI member gathered 8% fewer ingredients, on average, than teams that kept their ____27____ members.

Despite the AI’s superior individual performance and the fact that ____30____ were given to the entire team if it performed well, 84% of respondents preferred to play with their human teammates. Surveys of participants showed that AI reduces team sociability and thus ____31____ members’ motivation, effort, and trust. Interestingly, all-human teams playing alongside an AI-and-human team also saw drops in performance in the first round after the teammate change. These ____32____ contributed equally to the overall productivity loss. This is called the spillover effect, similar to what happens in an organization when an employee departs and ____33____ cooperative practices are upset. ____34____ and processes are disturbed, which harms performance.

The researchers also sought to examine what impact it had on the behavior and attitudes of colleagues”可知，这些同事只是观察到 AI 与人的互动，并未直接参与，对应后文“Interestingly, all-human teams playing alongside an AI-and-human team also saw drops in performance in the first round after the teammate change.”提到的间接受到影响的旁观团队。故选A。 【26题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：事实上，只有3%的人类玩家表现优于人工智能玩家。A. underdid做得不够；B. overestimated高估；C. underrated低估；D. outperformed表现优于。根据前文“In the rounds of individual play, the AI players proved far superior to human players.”可知，前文提到AI玩家的个人表现远优于人类，因此只有极少数人能胜过AI。故选D。 【27题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在人工智能玩家加入后的第一轮比赛中，有人工智能成员的团队平均比保持原有成员的团队少收集了8%的原料。A. original原来的；B. senior高级的；C. cooperative合作的；D. core核心的。根据前文“groups that remained in their original ____”和“In the initial round after the AI players joined, teams with an AI member gathered 8% fewer ingredients”可知，指没有更换成员、保留了原本人类队友的团队。故选A。 【28题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在接下来的四轮比赛中，表现差距缩小了一半，在最后一轮比赛中消失了。A. level水平；B. gap差距；C. style风格；D. standard标准。根据前文“teams with an AI member gathered 8% fewer ingredients, on average, than teams that kept their ____ members”和后文“narrowed by half over the next four rounds and disappeared in the final round”可知，此处指两类团队之间的表现差异，差距缩小符合语境。故选B。 【29题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：但即使时间短暂，4%的表现下降也是显著的，特别是对于正在进行多个人工智能项目的大型组织来说。A. specially特别地（表示专为某一目的）；B. specifically具体地；C. especially尤其（表示在同类事物中突出强调某一种）；D. inevitably不可避免地。根据后文“for a large organization with multiple AI projects underway”可知，此处指在同类事物中突出强调大型组织，强调对于大型组织来说，这种下滑的影响会更突出。故选C。 【30题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：尽管人工智能的个人表现更优越，而且如果团队表现良好，整个团队都会得到奖励，但84%的受访者更喜欢与人类队友一起比赛。A. titles标题；B. warnings警告；C. assistances协助；D. rewards奖励。根据后文“if it performed well”可知，团队表现好会给予奖励，这是常见的激励机制。故选D。 【31题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：对参与者的调查显示，人工智能降低了团队的社交能力，从而减少了成员的动力、努力和信任。A. boosts促进；B. shapes塑造；C. lessens减少；D. reflects反映。根据前文“AI reduces team sociability”可知，社交性降低会带来负面的影响，导致动力等指标下降。故选C。 【32题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这些下降对整体生产力损失的贡献是相等的。A. paces步伐；B. declines下降，下滑；C. traces痕迹；D. rises上升。根据前文“all-human teams playing alongside an AI-and-human team also saw drops in performance”可知，前文提到旁观的全人类团队也出现了表现下滑，这些下滑共同导致了整体的损失。故选B。 【33题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这被称为溢出效应，类似于当一个员工离开时，既定的合作实践被打乱，组织中发生的情况。A. forced被迫的；B. matched匹配的；C. varied多样的；D. established已建立的，既定的。根据后文“cooperative practices are upset”可知，此处指团队里长期形成的、已经确立的合作惯例，被人员变动打乱。故选D。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：日常工作和流程受到干扰，这损害了表现。A. Routines日常工作，常规；B. Transitions过渡；C. Occupations职业；D. Elements元素。根据前文“cooperative practices are upset”和后文“processes are disturbed”可知，此处指团队长期形成的工作常规，和流程并列。故选A。 【35题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：这些团队尽管没有经历直接的变化，但在适应互联环境中新的受人工智能影响的变化时遇到了间接挑战。A. applying申请；B. objecting反对；C. sticking坚持；D. adapting适应。根据后文“to the new AI-influenced dynamics within the interconnected environment”可知，此处指这些团队需要适应新的环境变化，adapt to是固定搭配，表示“适应”。故选D。 Section B Directions: Read the following three passages.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A Treasure Hunter’s $7.5 Million Discovery ____________________ Alex Clausen is a map dealer and a modern-day treasure hunter. An incredible find While deep in a virtual tour of an estate sale in the autumn of 2022, Clausen uncovered an old seafaring map: a centuries-old mariner’s chart. The chart, which the estate sale dated between 1500 and 1525, caught his eye. The estimated price, between 100,000 and 150,000, seemed fitting for a chart from the 16th century. But something didn’t quite fit. The map seemed older. ‘Hidden in plain sight’ As Clausen examined the chart more closely on a web-based platform, the date just didn’t seem right. But finding out the exact age and how much the chart was truly worth took Clausen on a months-long historical journey. The first known reference to the chart came from an Italian scholar who, in 1888, mentioned it in an article he wrote for the Italian Geographic Society. The scholar roughly dated it from 1347 to 1354. It changed hands several times before Ann and Gordon Getty purchased it in 1993. The couple had the map restored, and for years it hung in the library of their San Francisco townhouse. The clues The chart extends from the islands of the North Atlantic Ocean to what is now Eastern Europe. The clues initially led Clausen to suspect the map had been drawn around 1420. He consulted with scholars and catalogers. After reviewing images of the map, a medievalist suggested it might date to the mid-1350s. “I was just suspicious,” Clausen said of the revelation. “We were talking about something that really only exists in a handful of national libraries.” After the chart was purchased, Clausen sent it to a lab in New York that determined the chart was created, on the early end, from the 1320s to the 1350s and at latest from the 1390s to the 1420s. The mystery is solved After hundreds of hours of research, Clausen and his team finally had a date: 1360. The Ruderman antique map shop is listing the chart of 1360 for $7.5 million. Clausen envisions a university or museum taking ownership and placing it somewhere people can enjoy and learn from it. “After over 30 years in the business, the greatest excitements are the discoveries which are truly unexpected. You don’t know where or when; you simply prepare for the journey,” Clausen said of the experience. 36. What made Clausen take special notice of the map? A. It was priced higher than other items. B. It seemed older than its listed date. C. It was highlighted in the virtual tour. D. It was mentioned in a historical article. 37. Why does the writer say the map was hidden in plain sight? A. It was hanging in a library where few people noticed it. B. It was publicly displayed and its true value was not recognized. C. Its true significance was known only to a few scholars. D. Its ownership had switched hands before it ended up in a museum. 38. What can be inferred about Clausen’s opinion of treasure hunting from his experience with the map? A. It is more about luck than about persistence and science. B. It is an adventurous activity exclusive only to the well-educated. C. It is a fun activity which requires the participation of more people. D. It is a rewarding journey, though long and full of uncertainties. 39. Which of the following would be the most appropriate subtitle to fill in the blank? A. An overlooked map turns out to be a 14th-century treasure B. A 13th-century map catches the eye of a seasoned treasure hunter C. How to make sure not to miss the true treasures in antique shops D. A different kind of treasure hunter, not in search of sunken ships 【答案】36. B 37. B 38. D 39. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了地图经销商和现代寻宝者Alex Clausen偶然发现了一张古老的航海图，经过长时间的研究，最终确定其价值的故事。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据An incredible find部分中“ While deep in a virtual tour of an estate sale in the autumn of 2022, Clausen uncovered an old seafaring map: a centuries-old mariner’s chart. The chart, which the estate sale dated between 1500 and 1525, caught his eye. The estimated price, between 100,000 and 150,000, seemed fitting for a chart from the 16th century. But something didn’t quite fit. The map seemed older.(2022年秋季，Clausen在一次家产拍卖的虚拟导览中，偶然发现了一张古老的航海地图：一张有数百年历史的海图。这张被家产拍卖方标注为1500年至1525年间绘制的地图吸引了他的注意。其预估价格在10万至15万之间，对于一张16世纪的地图来说似乎很合理。但有些地方不太对劲。这张地图看起来年代更久远)”可知，这张地图看起来比标明的日期更古老，所以引起了Clausen的注意。故选B项。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据‘Hidden in plain sight’部分中“But finding out the exact age and how much the chart was truly worth took Clausen on a months-long historical journey.(但要找出这张地图的确切年代和真正价值，Clausen却经历了几个月的历史探索)”和“The first known reference to the chart came from an Italian scholar who, in 1888, mentioned it in an article he wrote for the Italian Geographic Society. The scholar roughly dated it from 1347 to 1354. It changed hands several times before Ann and Gordon Getty purchased it in 1993. The couple had the map restored, and for years it hung in the library of their San Francisco townhouse.(第一次提到这张地图的是一位意大利学者，他在1888年为意大利地理学会写的一篇文章中提到了它。这位学者大致将其日期定为1347年至1354年。在1993年被Ann和Gordon Getty买下之前，它几经易手。这对夫妇修复了地图，多年来，它一直挂在他们旧金山联排别墅的图书馆里)”可知，这张地图一直公开展示，但它的真正价值并没有得到认可，所以说它“隐藏在显而易见的地方”。故选B项。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据The mystery is solved部分中Clausen的话“After over 30 years in the business, the greatest excitements are the discoveries which are truly unexpected. You don’t know where or when; you simply prepare for the journey(在这个行业工作了30多年，最令人兴奋的是那些真正意想不到的发现。你不知道在哪里，也不知道什么时候；你只需为旅程做好准备)”可推知，Clausen认为尽管漫长且充满不确定性，但寻宝是一个有价值的旅程。故选D项。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Alex Clausen is a map dealer and a modern-day treasure hunter.(Alex Clausen是一名地图经销商和现代寻宝者)”、An incredible find部分中“While deep in a virtual tour of an estate sale in the autumn of 2022, Clausen uncovered an old seafaring map: a centuries-old mariner’s chart.(2022年秋天，Clausen在一次房地产拍卖的虚拟参观中，偶然发现了一张古老的航海图)”和The mystery is solved部分中“After hundreds of hours of research, Clausen and his team finally had a date: 1360. The Ruderman antique map shop is listing the chart of 1360 for $7.5 million.(经过数百小时的研究，克劳森和他的团队最终确定了一个日期：1360年。鲁德曼古董地图店将1360年的地图标价750万美元)”可知，文章主要讲述了地图经销商和现代寻宝者Alex Clausen偶然发现了一张古老的航海图，经过长时间的研究，最终确定其价值的故事，A项“An overlooked map turns out to be a 14th-century treasure(一张被忽视的地图原来是一份14世纪的珍宝)”能概括文章内容，适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 B Your essential monthly round-up of competitions, paying markets, opportunities to get into print and publishing industry news.

A respected countryman, Colin knows the importance of responsible dog ownership and the enjoyment of a well-behaved pet, particularly in the countryside, where there can otherwise be issues with livestock and wildlife. We are a nation of dog lovers. There is no doubt that dogs bring many of us great joy, but with ownership comes responsibility and the need for training. Not everyone loves dogs and even if they did, a dog in our charge shouldn’t approach, jump up or chase anybody or anything. Few of us are perfect though, and if our ‘recall’ isn’t always reliable, then our dogs must be on a lead. The attacking of livestock is a serious concern, often horrible to witness, as is the effect dogs can have in disturbing wildlife. Both these things are entirely avoidable and yet a recent report recorded that a shockingly irresponsible 85% of visitors ignored warning notices and allowed their dogs off-lead. It’s not just the more obvious responsibilities either: the old advice of picking up poo (粪便) or simply brushing it aside has changed to bag it or take it home to get rid of. Dog poo spreads bacteria and can cause fatal diseases in cattle and sheep. It also disrupts and harms ecosystems, especially when washed into the soil or bodies of water by rain. It doesn’t end there. Looking after dogs with unnecessary preventative treatments, as we are usually advised is causing great harm. Not only can routine wormers (驱虫剂) kill the tiny creatures that keep our soil healthy, but the poisonous chemicals also remain in the environment, creating a long-term risk. Even tiny amounts of the flea (跳蚤) treatment can stay on a dog’s coat for weeks. Eventually, these chemicals are either washed into rivers, where they poison aquatic life, or they remain in lost fur that birds then use to build their nests. But dog ownership doesn’t have to be a horror story. We can limit these treatments. We can avoid rivers and ponds if we have to treat our pets, and can pick up after them. The UK government has issued a policy for responsible dog ownership, emphasizing that dogs must not be allowed to wander unsupervised and that ownership practices need to change. It sets out practical regulations and, crucially, calls for education and training for both owners and their dogs. 43. When visiting a friend’s house with his/her dog, the dog owner should ______. A. keep the dog under control at all times B. let the dog play with new friends freely C. take the dog off the lead as advised D. teach the friend to say’recall’ correctly 44. If dog poo is left on the roads, it harms the environment mainly by ______. A. attracting other wild animals to the area B. releasing poisonous chemicals into the air C. being washed into soil and water D. creating unpleasant smells near footpaths 45. What can be inferred about the author’s preferred approach to flea control? A. Treat dogs monthly without exception. B. Use treatments when actually needed. C. Use stronger chemicals for better protection. D. Never treat dogs under any circumstances. 46. What is the writing purpose of the article? A. To highlight the negative impact of pet-keeping. B. To present a new policy on dog ownership. C. To raise awareness of responsible dog ownership. D. To promote the importance of dog training classes. 【答案】43. A 44. C 45. B 46. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了养狗带来的责任，包括控制狗的行为、清理狗的粪便以及合理使用驱虫剂等，同时提到英国政府发布了关于负责任养狗的政策，强调需要改变养狗方式，并对主人和狗进行教育和培训。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Not everyone loves dogs and even if they did, a dog in our charge shouldn’t approach, jump up or chase anybody or anything. Few of us are perfect though, and if our “recall” isn’t always reliable, then our dogs must be on a lead.(不是每个人都喜欢狗，即使他们喜欢，我们负责的狗也不应该接近、跳起来或追逐任何人或任何东西。不过，我们中很少有人是完美的，如果我们的“召回”并不总是可靠的，那么我们的狗必须被牵着。)”可知，当带着狗去朋友家时，狗主人应该始终控制住狗。故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Dog poo spreads bacteria and can cause fatal diseases in cattle and sheep. It also disrupts and harms ecosystems, especially when washed into the soil or bodies of water by rain.(狗的粪便会传播细菌，并可能导致牛羊患上致命疾病。它还会破坏和损害生态系统，尤其是当被雨水冲入土壤或水体时。)”可知，如果狗的粪便留在路上，它主要通过被冲入土壤和水来危害环境。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Looking after dogs with unnecessary preventative treatments, as we are usually advised is causing great harm. (通常我们被建议对狗进行不必要的预防性治疗，但这对狗的照顾造成了很大的伤害。)”和“We can limit these treatments.(我们可以限制这些治疗。)”可知，作者认为养狗时应该限制不必要的预防性治疗，只在真正需要时使用治疗方法。故选B。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要讲述了养狗带来的责任，包括控制狗的行为、清理狗的粪便以及合理使用驱虫剂等，同时提到英国政府发布了关于负责任养狗的政策，强调需要改变养狗方式，并对主人和狗进行教育和培训，由此可知，文章的主要目的是提高人们对负责任养狗的认识。故选C。 Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully.

Water Industry to Be Cleaned Up The Government has promised to clean up the water industry in England and Wales following the publication of a new report. ___47___ Lots of sewage spills polluting waterways, plus the rising cost of people’s water bills, are problems in the UK. Sewage is waste water from paths, sinks and toilets. In 2024, the Government set up the Independent Water Commission to investigate the water industry in England and Wales. The commission’s findings were published in a report that contained 88 recommendations to improve the way the water industry is run. ___48___ One is closing Ofwat, the organization responsible for making sure water companies deliver a good service for their customers and the environment. The minister said that, as well as angry customers, Ofwat has “failed to protect our waterways from record levels of pollution”. The report recommends replacing Ofwat with one regulator in England and another in Wales. Currently, responsibilities are split between Ofwat and three other agencies. The Government has promised to halve the amount of sewage pumped into rivers, lakes and seas within five years. Last year, sewage was released into England’s rivers and seas around 450,000 times. ___49___ However, people’s water bills may rise to pay for this. Some responses to the Government’s promises were positive. The Liberal Democrat party said it supports phasing out Ofwat. Mark Lloyd, from the Rivers Trust campaign group said the recommendations would lead to a dramatic improvement in the water environment. ___50___ A. The Government will also spend £104 billion to repair damaged pipes, build water treatment works and water storage facilities. B. Its plans include cutting pollution in rivers and seas and changing the way water companies are held responsible. C. But three billion liters of water are wasted every day in the UK because of leaky pipes. D. However, some activists said the report recommendations failed to prioritize public benefit over private profit and the public are tired of swimming in sewage and drowning in rising bills. E. Environment Secretary says the Government will adopt five of these straight away. F. It has announced that a new law concerning environmental protection will come into effect next year. 【答案】47. B 48. E 49. A 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍英国一份新报告发布后，政府承诺整治英格兰和威尔士的水务行业，治理污水排放污染、改革监管机构，并说明了相关措施、资金投入以及社会各界的不同反应。 【47题详解】 根据上文“The Government has promised to clean up the water industry in England and Wales following the publication of a new report.(在一份新报告公布后，英国政府承诺整治英格兰和威尔士的水务行业。)”以及下文“Lots of sewage spills polluting waterways, plus the rising cost of people’s water bills, are problems in the UK.(大量污水泄漏污染水道，再加上人们水费的不断上涨，是英国目前面临的问题。)”可知，上文说政府承诺整治水务行业，下文说英国水务行业存在的问题，所以此处应说明政府整治计划的具体内容。B选项（其计划包括减少河流和海洋污染，以及改变水务公司的问责方式。），承接上文政府承诺整治，引出下文存在的问题。故选B项。 【48题详解】 根据上文“The commission’s findings were published in a report that contained 88 recommendations to improve the way the water industry is run.(该委员会的调查结果发表在一份报告中，其中包含88条改善水务行业运营方式的建议。)”以及下文“One is closing Ofwat, the organization responsible for making sure water companies deliver a good service for their customers and the environment.(其中一条是关闭Ofwat，该组织负责确保水务公司为客户和环境提供良好服务。)”可知，上文说报告中有88条建议，下文举例说明其中一条建议，所以此处应说明政府会采纳部分建议。E选项（环境大臣表示，政府将立即采纳其中五条建议。）符合语境，承接上文报告中的建议，引出下文具体举例说明采纳的建议。故选E项。 【49题详解】 根据上文“The Government has promised to halve the amount of sewage pumped into rivers, lakes and seas within five years. Last year, sewage was released into England’s rivers and seas around 450,000 times.(政府承诺在五年内将排入河流、湖泊和海洋的污水量减半。去年，英国的河流和海洋中大约有45万次污水排放。)”以及下文“However, people’s water bills may rise to pay for this.(然而，人们的水费可能会因此上涨。)”可知，上文说政府承诺减少污水排放，下文说水费可能上涨，所以此处应说明政府为减少污水排放采取的其他措施，且该措施可能导致水费上涨。A选项（政府还将花费1040亿英镑修复受损管道、建设水处理厂和水储存设施。）符合语境，承接上文政府减少污水排放的承诺，引出下文水费可能上涨的原因。故选A项。 【50题详解】 根据上文“Some responses to the Government’s promises were positive. The Liberal Democrat party said it supports phasing out Ofwat. Mark Lloyd, from the Rivers Trust campaign group said the recommendations would lead to a dramatic improvement in the water environment.(一些人对政府的承诺做出了积极回应。自由民主党表示支持逐步取消Ofwat。来自河流信托活动组织的马克·劳埃德表示，这些建议将使水环境得到显著改善。)”可知，上文说一些人对政府承诺做出积极回应，D选项（然而，一些活动人士表示，报告中的建议未能将公共利益置于私人利益之上，公众已经厌倦了在污水中游泳、被不断上涨的账单压得喘不过气来。）与前文积极态度形成对比，呈现不同的社会反应，符合语境。故选D项。 III. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Fight Fake Information In this day and age, you probably get your information from various websites and social media. Because fake news is spreading and becoming influential in this digital age, it’s important that you don’t take everything you read at face value. The volume of information encountered daily makes it necessary to take an analytical approach to what you read to make sure it is reliable. Several skills including critical thinking, which refers to the practice of examining evidence, logic, and context are essential. This skill helps you identify gaps in information, distinguish between fact and opinion and evaluate whether an argument is supported by solid reasoning. Beyond analysis, critical thinking involves asking meaningful questions — such as who created the information, why it was shared, and what might be missing. In an age where misinformation spreads rapidly, this mindset helps you build a mental barrier to resist emotional control and clickbait. In today’s information rich world, we are constantly exposed to a huge amount of content from various digital sources. Make the most of your digital literacy by using different formats, platforms and media to get and use information. For example, consider how you might combine different types of digital sources to gain a deeper understanding of a topic. You also need a strategy to determine whether online content can be trusted. Mike Caulfield, a research scientist at the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, created the SIFT method to do that. This approach helps you analyze and decide if online information is reliable. First, stop — don’t share right away, and check your emotions about the headline. Then, investigate the source — look up the author or site using other reliable sources. Next, find better coverage — see if trustworthy sites confirm the information. Finally, trace claims back to their original source to check if they’re fairly presented. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 In the digital age, it is vital to fight fake information by developing critical thinking and digital literacy. One should not take everything at face value but examine evidence, logic, and context. Using diverse formats and platforms helps gain a deeper understanding. Employ strategies like the SIFT method — stop, investigate, find better coverage, trace claims — to verify reliability. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了在数字时代如何应对虚假信息，强调了批判性思维和数字素养的重要性，并介绍了SIFT等方法帮助辨别信息真伪。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ① Because fake news is spreading and becoming influential in this digital age, it’s important that you don’t take everything you read at face value. ② Several skills including critical thinking, which refers to the practice of examining evidence, logic, and context are essential. ③ Make the most of your digital literacy by using different formats, platforms and media to get and use information. ④ Mike Caulfield, a research scientist at the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, created the SIFT method to do that.

Translation Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 52. 当饮食中的纤维比例失调时，营养就会受损。(proportion) (汉译英) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When the proportion of fibre in the diet is out of balance, nutrition will be impaired. 【解析】 【详解】考查时间状语从句和被动语态。根据汉语句子分析，整句用主将从现结构表达，即，主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时。“当饮食中的纤维比例失调时”为时间状语从句，用“when”引导；其中“纤维比例”为从句主语，用名词短语“the proportion of fibre”表达，“饮食中的”用介词短语“in the diet”表达，作后置定语，“失调”用“be out of balance”表达，从句主语为第三人称单数，be用“is”。主句“营养就会受损”用一般将来时，“营养”用名词“nutrition”表达，“受损”用动词“impair”表达，主语与其之间为被动关系，用一般将来时被动语态“will be impaired”。故翻译为When the proportion of fibre in the diet is out of balance, nutrition will be impaired. 53. 那块电子显示屏存在线路故障并危及公共安全，现已被拆除。（whose）（汉译英） ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The electronic display screen whose wiring faults endangered public safety has been removed now. 【解析】 【详解】考查句子结构，whose引导定语从句和被动语态。根据汉语句子分析可知，主句为“那块电子显示屏现已被拆除”，用现在完成时被动结构表达，即“主语+has / have been done”，其中主语用名词短语“The electronic display screen”表达，为第三人称单数，助动词用has；“拆除”用动词“remove”，这里用过去分词形式“removed”，“现在”用“now”表达。因此，主句译为“the electronic display screen has been removed now”。“（那块电子显示屏）存在线路故障并危及公共安全”作定语从句，先行词为“The electronic display screen(那块电子显示屏)”，与之后的“线路故障（wiring faults）”之间为修饰关系，用whose引导从句，“危及”用动词“endanger”表达，从句中作谓语，结合语境可知“危及公共安全”发生在过去，用一般过去时，动词用过去式“endangered”，“公共安全”用“public safety”表达，因此从句译为“whose wiring faults endangered public safety”，置于先行词之后。故翻译为：The electronic display screen whose wiring faults endangered public safety has been removed now. 54. 从导演到舞台设计，每个学生在戏剧节上都各尽其能，使其才华在课堂外尽情绽放。（bloom）（汉译英） ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】From directors to stage designers, every student did their part in the Drama Festival, letting their talents bloom to the full outside the classroom. 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词、时态和短语。表示“从导演到舞台设计”用from directors to stage designers，作状语；主语“每个学生”用every student；谓语“各尽其能”用do their part，句子陈述过去的事情，do用过去式did；“在戏剧节”用 the Drama Festival，作状语；“使其才华在课堂外尽情绽放”处理为非谓语动词作状语，“使得”用动词let，和“每个学生在戏剧节上都各尽其能”是主动关系，表示自然而然产生的结果，用现在分词letting，宾语“他们的才华”用their talents，“尽情绽放”用bloom to the full，bloom用省略to的不定式作宾补，“在课堂外”用outside the classroom。综上，故翻译为：From directors to stage designers, every student did their part in the Drama Festival, letting their talents bloom to the full outside the classroom. 55. 无论采取何种策略，其成效最终都应由它与学生日常体验及个人成长的相关性来衡量。（Whatever）（汉译英） ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Whatever strategy is adopted, its effectiveness should ultimately be measured by its relevance to students’ daily experiences and personal growth. 【解析】 【详解】考查让步状语从句、情态动词、时态和被动语态。本句表示的是一个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时。表示“无论何种策略”应用让步状语从句Whatever strategy is adopted；表示“成效”应用名词effectiveness；表示“最终”应用副词ultimately；表示“衡量”应用动词measure；表示“与……的相关性”短语为relevance to；表示“学生的日常体验及个人成长”应用students’ daily experiences and personal growth；主语“成效”和“衡量”之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，且情态动词should后接动词原形。故翻译为Whatever strategy is adopted, its effectiveness should ultimately be measured by its relevance to students’ daily experiences and personal growth。 V.

When AI Teammates Come on Board, Performance Drops Researchers studied the impact of artificial intelligence on team functioning. They asked 110 two-person groups to play 12 rounds of a video game in which participants had to collect ingredients for a recipe. After the first six rounds, one member of some teams was ____21____ by an intelligent agent. Over the next six rounds, those groups gathered, on average, three fewer ingredients than groups that remained in their original ____22____. The conclusion: When AI teammates come on board, performance drops. ____23____ studies have already explored the impact of artificial intelligence on individual and firm productivity, but the researchers aimed to understand how AI affects organizational teams internally. ____24____, most work is done in teams. They were curious about the consequences of adding intelligent agents to teams, not just for the people interacting directly with those agents. The researchers also sought to examine what impact it had on the behavior and attitudes of colleagues who ____25____ those interactions. In the rounds of individual play, the AI players proved far superior to human players. In fact, only 3% of human players ____26____ the AI players. The team results were a different story. In the initial round after the AI players joined, teams with an AI member gathered 8% fewer ingredients, on average, than teams that kept their ____27____ members. The performance ____28____ narrowed by half over the next four rounds and disappeared in the final round. But even if short-lived, a 4% drop in performance is significant, ____29____ for a large organization with multiple AI projects underway. Despite the AI’s superior individual performance and the fact that ____30____ were given to the entire team if it performed well, 84% of respondents preferred to play with their human teammates.

A Treasure Hunter’s $7.5 Million Discovery ____________________ Alex Clausen is a map dealer and a modern-day treasure hunter. An incredible find While deep in a virtual tour of an estate sale in the autumn of 2022, Clausen uncovered an old seafaring map: a centuries-old mariner’s chart. The chart, which the estate sale dated between 1500 and 1525, caught his eye. The estimated price, between 100,000 and 150,000, seemed fitting for a chart from the 16th century. But something didn’t quite fit. The map seemed older. ‘Hidden in plain sight’ As Clausen examined the chart more closely on a web-based platform, the date just didn’t seem right. But finding out the exact age and how much the chart was truly worth took Clausen on a months-long historical journey. The first known reference to the chart came from an Italian scholar who, in 1888, mentioned it in an article he wrote for the Italian Geographic Society. The scholar roughly dated it from 1347 to 1354. It changed hands several times before Ann and Gordon Getty purchased it in 1993. The couple had the map restored, and for years it hung in the library of their San Francisco townhouse. The clues The chart extends from the islands of the North Atlantic Ocean to what is now Eastern Europe. The clues initially led Clausen to suspect the map had been drawn around 1420. He consulted with scholars and catalogers. After reviewing images of the map, a medievalist suggested it might date to the mid-1350s. “I was just suspicious,” Clausen said of the revelation. “We were talking about something that really only exists in a handful of national libraries.” After the chart was purchased, Clausen sent it to a lab in New York that determined the chart was created, on the early end, from the 1320s to the 1350s and at latest from the 1390s to the 1420s. The mystery is solved After hundreds of hours of research, Clausen and his team finally had a date: 1360. The Ruderman antique map shop is listing the chart of 1360 for $7.5 million. Clausen envisions a university or museum taking ownership and placing it somewhere people can enjoy and learn from it. “After over 30 years in the business, the greatest excitements are the discoveries which are truly unexpected. You don’t know where or when; you simply prepare for the journey,” Clausen said of the experience. 36. What made Clausen take special notice of the map? A. It was priced higher than other items. B. It seemed older than its listed date. C. It was highlighted in the virtual tour. D. It was mentioned in a historical article. 37. Why does the writer say the map was hidden in plain sight? A. It was hanging in a library where few people noticed it. B. It was publicly displayed and its true value was not recognized. C. Its true significance was known only to a few scholars. D. Its ownership had switched hands before it ended up in a museum. 38. What can be inferred about Clausen’s opinion of treasure hunting from his experience with the map? A. It is more about luck than about persistence and science. B. It is an adventurous activity exclusive only to the well-educated. C. It is a fun activity which requires the participation of more people. D. It is a rewarding journey, though long and full of uncertainties. 39. Which of the following would be the most appropriate subtitle to fill in the blank? A. An overlooked map turns out to be a 14th-century treasure B. A 13th-century map catches the eye of a seasoned treasure hunter C. How to make sure not to miss the true treasures in antique shops D. A different kind of treasure hunter, not in search of sunken ships B Your essential monthly round-up of competitions, paying markets, opportunities to get into print and publishing industry news.

C Our local dog trainer, Colin Thomas, is about to retire and we are heartbroken. A respected countryman, Colin knows the importance of responsible dog ownership and the enjoyment of a well-behaved pet, particularly in the countryside, where there can otherwise be issues with livestock and wildlife. We are a nation of dog lovers. There is no doubt that dogs bring many of us great joy, but with ownership comes responsibility and the need for training. Not everyone loves dogs and even if they did, a dog in our charge shouldn’t approach, jump up or chase anybody or anything. Few of us are perfect though, and if our ‘recall’ isn’t always reliable, then our dogs must be on a lead. The attacking of livestock is a serious concern, often horrible to witness, as is the effect dogs can have in disturbing wildlife. Both these things are entirely avoidable and yet a recent report recorded that a shockingly irresponsible 85% of visitors ignored warning notices and allowed their dogs off-lead. It’s not just the more obvious responsibilities either: the old advice of picking up poo (粪便) or simply brushing it aside has changed to bag it or take it home to get rid of. Dog poo spreads bacteria and can cause fatal diseases in cattle and sheep. It also disrupts and harms ecosystems, especially when washed into the soil or bodies of water by rain. It doesn’t end there. Looking after dogs with unnecessary preventative treatments, as we are usually advised is causing great harm. Not only can routine wormers (驱虫剂) kill the tiny creatures that keep our soil healthy, but the poisonous chemicals also remain in the environment, creating a long-term risk. Even tiny amounts of the flea (跳蚤) treatment can stay on a dog’s coat for weeks. Eventually, these chemicals are either washed into rivers, where they poison aquatic life, or they remain in lost fur that birds then use to build their nests. But dog ownership doesn’t have to be a horror story. We can limit these treatments. We can avoid rivers and ponds if we have to treat our pets, and can pick up after them. The UK government has issued a policy for responsible dog ownership, emphasizing that dogs must not be allowed to wander unsupervised and that ownership practices need to change. It sets out practical regulations and, crucially, calls for education and training for both owners and their dogs. 43. When visiting a friend’s house with his/her dog, the dog owner should ______. A. keep the dog under control at all times B. let the dog play with new friends freely C. take the dog off the lead as advised D. teach the friend to say’recall’ correctly 44. If dog poo is left on the roads, it harms the environment mainly by ______. A. attracting other wild animals to the area B. releasing poisonous chemicals into the air C. being washed into soil and water D. creating unpleasant smells near footpaths 45. What can be inferred about the author’s preferred approach to flea control? A. Treat dogs monthly without exception. B. Use treatments when actually needed. C. Use stronger chemicals for better protection. D. Never treat dogs under any circumstances. 46. What is the writing purpose of the article? A. To highlight the negative impact of pet-keeping. B. To present a new policy on dog ownership. C. To raise awareness of responsible dog ownership. D. To promote the importance of dog training classes. Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully.

Water Industry to Be Cleaned Up The Government has promised to clean up the water industry in England and Wales following the publication of a new report. ___47___ Lots of sewage spills polluting waterways, plus the rising cost of people’s water bills, are problems in the UK. Sewage is waste water from paths, sinks and toilets. In 2024, the Government set up the Independent Water Commission to investigate the water industry in England and Wales. The commission’s findings were published in a report that contained 88 recommendations to improve the way the water industry is run. ___48___ One is closing Ofwat, the organization responsible for making sure water companies deliver a good service for their customers and the environment. The minister said that, as well as angry customers, Ofwat has “failed to protect our waterways from record levels of pollution”. The report recommends replacing Ofwat with one regulator in England and another in Wales. Currently, responsibilities are split between Ofwat and three other agencies. The Government has promised to halve the amount of sewage pumped into rivers, lakes and seas within five years. Last year, sewage was released into England’s rivers and seas around 450,000 times. ___49___ However, people’s water bills may rise to pay for this. Some responses to the Government’s promises were positive. The Liberal Democrat party said it supports phasing out Ofwat. Mark Lloyd, from the Rivers Trust campaign group said the recommendations would lead to a dramatic improvement in the water environment. ___50___ A. The Government will also spend £104 billion to repair damaged pipes, build water treatment works and water storage facilities. B. Its plans include cutting pollution in rivers and seas and changing the way water companies are held responsible. C. But three billion liters of water are wasted every day in the UK because of leaky pipes. D. However, some activists said the report recommendations failed to prioritize public benefit over private profit and the public are tired of swimming in sewage and drowning in rising bills. E. Environment Secretary says the Government will adopt five of these straight away. F. It has announced that a new law concerning environmental protection will come into effect next year. III. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Fight Fake Information In this day and age, you probably get your information from various websites and social media. Because fake news is spreading and becoming influential in this digital age, it’s important that you don’t take everything you read at face value. The volume of information encountered daily makes it necessary to take an analytical approach to what you read to make sure it is reliable. Several skills including critical thinking, which refers to the practice of examining evidence, logic, and context are essential. This skill helps you identify gaps in information, distinguish between fact and opinion and evaluate whether an argument is supported by solid reasoning. Beyond analysis, critical thinking involves asking meaningful questions — such as who created the information, why it was shared, and what might be missing. In an age where misinformation spreads rapidly, this mindset helps you build a mental barrier to resist emotional control and clickbait. In today’s information rich world, we are constantly exposed to a huge amount of content from various digital sources. Make the most of your digital literacy by using different formats, platforms and media to get and use information. For example, consider how you might combine different types of digital sources to gain a deeper understanding of a topic. You also need a strategy to determine whether online content can be trusted. Mike Caulfield, a research scientist at the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, created the SIFT method to do that. This approach helps you analyze and decide if online information is reliable. First, stop — don’t share right away, and check your emotions about the headline. Then, investigate the source — look up the author or site using other reliable sources. Next, find better coverage — see if trustworthy sites confirm the information. Finally, trace claims back to their original source to check if they’re fairly presented. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.
