When my mother passed away a few years ago, my father was left alone in the large house they had shared for 50 years. Without her to watch out for him, he was worried about who would find him and help if “something happened”.
My sister and I live in other states, so we hit on the idea that Dad could email us every morning when he awoke. Then “the Morning Report” was born.
He’s usually up by the crack of dawn, and his half a dozen or so sentences are waiting for me in my inbox when I wake up. If there’s no email, I call him, or my sister does, to make sure everything is fine. The reports have become more than an everyday check though; they’re a sort of diary, a catalyst (催化剂) for more extended conversations, and source of insight into his life.
Through these emails, Dad tells us about his routines. He might be heading to the grocery store for bananas, going to his cardiac-rehab (心脏康复) exercise class, or having lunch with friends. Recently he told us, “I’ve climbed halfway up Mount Washington!” Given his age and distance from New Hampshire, such a hike had been unlikely.
Each email closes with “All my love, Dad.” When my mother was alive, that feeling was normally reserved for her. Now that she is gone, he shares those feelings and his experiences with us. For me, what started as a simple security measure has spawned deeper closeness.
I’m grateful my father is still able to manage his computer and the Internet. I know the day will come when he’ll no longer be able to write the reports, and we’ll have to find other ways to keep track of one another. But until then, they are our way of knowing that another normal day has begun.
24. What was the original purpose of “the Morning Report”?
A. To ensure the father’s safety. B. To track the father’s daily routines.
C. To keep the father from feeling lonely. D. To help the father manage his large house.
25. What can be inferred about the father’s current life?
A. He leads a lonely life. B. He stays active and engaged.
C. He misses his wife very much. D. He is learning to use a computer.
26. Which is closest in meaning to “spawned” in paragraph 5?
A. Hidden. B. Weakened. C. Shadowed. D. Created.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A Daily Email Check B. A Father’s Daily Life
C. Love Across the Miles D. Connection via Technology
C
Many of us have got into the habit of listening to podcasts, audiobooks and other online content at increased playback speeds — a norm even for younger people. One survey of students in California found 89% adjusted online lecture speeds, with widespread media coverage of this common practice.
Faster playback offers clear advantages. It enables you to consume more content in the same amount of time or replaying the same content for better absorption. This could be particularly useful in an educational context, where it might free up time for knowledge application practice. Watching quickly is also potentially a good way to help sustain your attention and engagement for the entire duration to avoid the mind wandering.
There are, however, disadvantages. While people can process speech at 150-450 words per minute, the real concern lies in the quality and longevity of the memories formed. New information is first held in working memory, which has a limited capacity. If information arrives too quickly, this system can be overwhelmed, causing mental overload and information loss.
A recent comprehensive analysis of 24 studies on learning from video lectures, led by Theepan Tharumalingam from University of Waterloo, lends strong support to this claim. In these studies, participants were randomly assigned to watch lectures at normal speed or at increased speeds (1.25x to 2.5x), then tested on the content. The analysis revealed that increasing playback speed had increasingly negative effects on test performance. At speeds of up to 1.5x, the cost was very small. But at 2x and above, the negative effect was moderate to large.
However, we don’t yet know whether regular fast playback reduces its negative effects — such as coping with higher cognitive load and reducing memory loss. Neither is there any scientific evidence for potential long-term effects of fast playback on mental function and brain activity, which could be positive or negative in theory.
Even if 1.5x playback does not harm memory, there is evidence to suggest the experience is less enjoyable, possibly affecting people’s learning motivation and leading to avoidance. On the other hand, faster playback has become popular, so maybe once people get used to it, it’s fine — hopefully we’ll understand these processes better in the years to come.
28. How do students benefit from faster playback?
A. By fitting in with their classmates. B. By ensuring better memory of lectures.
C. By saving more time for hands-on practice. D. By focusing on the more engaging content.
29. What potential risk may faster playback cause?
A. Permanent damage to brain function. B. Limited capacity of working memory.
C. Failure to pass learning assessment tests. D. Reduced quality of information absorbed.
30. How did the author prove the disadvantages of faster playback?
A. By providing video lectures. B. By citing a research review.
C. By conducting an experiment. D. By interviewing the students.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards faster playback?
A. Approving. B. Pessimistic. C. Intolerant. D. Cautious.
D
“I write to find out what I’m thinking, ” wrote the great American journalist John Dos Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth: the act of writing transforms half - formed ideas into precise, logical thought. What sounds coherent (有条理的) when spoken often appears weak and illogical when committed to paper.
A recent MIT study provides convincing scientific evidence for this claim. Researchers used wearable brain scanners to compare students who wrote essays independently with those using AI assistance. The findings were clear: AI-assisted writers “consistently underperformed at brain, verbal, and behavioural levels”. They demonstrated that we need to write in order to think deeply.
This research emerges at a critical historical moment for literacy. Childhood reading has reached record lows, with nearly half of British adults not reading a single book last year. Adult literacy is declining or making no progress across most OECD countries. Notably, average IQs have begun to decline since the 1980s, along with reasoning and problem-solving abilities — a trend that is unlikely to be random.
Walter Ong’s influential work “Orality and Literacy” clarifies why writing is essential. He argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece’s intellectual revolution. Oral cultures must “think memorable thoughts”, relying on rhyme, emotion, and cliché (陈词滥调) to preserve knowledge. Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments.
In our digital age, no technology has surpassed the complicated architecture of the book. While the internet offers fragmented (碎片化的) information, books provide rich context and sustained logical connections. Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text.
As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning. Reading and writing form the foundation of serious thought — a habit that unites history’s greatest minds. Before we yield our cognitive development to screens and algorithms, we must carefully consider what we might be sacrificing.
32. How does AI assistance affect writing according to the MIT study?
A. It reduces deep thinking. B. It improves writing speed.
C. It enhances creative expression. D. It has little impact on brain activity.
33. Why is writing essential for developing logical arguments?
A. It relies on rhyme and emotion. B. It is easier to remember and repeat.
C. It requires concentration and engagement. D. It enables accurate and revisable statements.
34. What is the author’s attitude towards digital media’s effect on deep thinking?
A. Optimistic. B. Dismissive. C. Objective. D. Concerned.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Decline of Modern Literacy
B. The Benefits of Reading in a Digital Age
C. Writing: The Foundation of Deep Thinking
D. Thinking: The Capacity for Complex Reasoning

The downside of creating good habits
Habits create the foundation for mastery. In chess, it is only after the basic movements of the pieces have become automatic that a player can focus on the next level of the game. Each unit of information that is memorized opens up the mental space for more effortful thinking. ____36____ When you know the simple movements so well that you can perform them without thinking, you are free to pay attention to more advanced details. In this way, habits are the backbone of any pursuit of excellence.
However, the benefits of habits come at a cost. At first, each repetition develops fluency, speed, and skill. ____37____ You fall into mindless repetition. It becomes easier to let mistakes slide. When you can do it well enough on autopilot, you stop thinking about how to do it better.
The upside of habits is that we can do things without thinking. The downside of habits is that you get used to doing things a certain way and stop paying attention to little errors. ____38____ In reality, you are merely reinforcing your current habits — not improving them. In fact, some research has shown that once a skill has been mastered there is usually a slight decline in performance over time.
____39____ To achieve top levels of performance, you need a refined approach. You can’t repeat the same things blindly and expect to become exceptional. What you need is a combination of automatic habits and deliberate practice. After one habit has been mastered, you have to return to the effortful part of the work.
Old tasks become easier the second time around, but it doesn’t get easier overall because now you’re pouring your energy into the next challenge. Each habit unlocks the next level of performance. ____40____
A. It’s an endless cycle.
B. This is true for any attempt.
C. Next, you will get more positive feedback.
D. Habits are necessary, but not sufficient for mastery.
E. With habits like these, good enough is usually good enough.
F. You assume you’re getting better because you’re gaining experience.
G. But then, as a habit becomes automatic, you become less sensitive to feedback.

The expression “ai ni laoji” — “love you, my dear self” — was first uttered near the end of 2025. It has since ____41____ Chinese social media, earning “GOATed” and “kindest meme (梗) of the year” honors. It gave rise to several media commentaries.
In modern Chinese society, rapid urbanization and the one-child generation have become the social mainstream, ____42____ how young people live. Moving away from ____43____ family and neighborhood networks, they now enjoy greater freedom of ____44____ — but also face life on their own.

It is against this background that ideas like “ai ni laoji” have gained ____46____ . This attitude ____47____ people to treat themselves as their most stable and reliable ____48____ — to become their own ____49____ support. Laoji is a tongue-in-cheek way for Chinese social media users to refer to themselves like an old friend. As one popular saying puts it, “laoji is the only one who would spend 100 yuan ($14) on you without ____50____ .”
What began as a joke has become something more ____51____ : a deeply-felt response by young people to a fast-changing, emotionally ____52____ society, and a way of building inner order and offering themselves unwavering support. The word laoji, a witty verbal device (语言技巧) that refers to the speakers themselves, aims to ____53____ the feelings of awkwardness and shame that Chinese people of older generations might experience if declaring they love themselves, making the practice of self-love feel more natural and effortless.
As young Chinese turn ____54____ for the strength to love themselves, they are also expressing longing for a society that can love them — one with a more level playing field, more expansive opportunities, stronger values that celebrate success by their ____55____ .
41. A. made up B. interacted with C. taken over D. benefited from

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Not long ago, traveling in China meant racing against the clock. Overnight trains, sunrise hikes, and five scenic spots before lunch ____56____ (wear) like badges of honour. The faster and more exhausting the itinerary (行程), the better the story sounded afterward. In the past few years, that logic ____57____ (give) way to a new belief quietly among young people that vacations should feel less like boot camp.
According to a 2025 survey released by China Youth Daily, 55.3 percent of young respondents now prefer “immersive slow travel”, while more than half favour flexible independent trips ____58____ tightly organised tours.
The shift is visible in both behaviour and business. Once-popular “special-forces-style tourism” — where travellers sprint through cities to maximise check-ins — has evolved into ____59____ social media jokingly calls “low-consumption travel”. The idea is simple: minimal physical strain, maximum emotional return. At scenic sites across Guangdong, Zhejiang and Hubei provinces, operators have redesigned ____60____ (attract) to match the new pace. On Foshan’s Xiqiao Mountain, for instance, visitors can try an ____61____ (adapt) bungee jump that lowers participants ____62____ (gentle) instead of dropping them at full speed.
Travel, increasingly, is no longer about how far you go — but how deeply you arrive. “When you rush, every city ends up ____63____ (look) like the same photo. When you stay, you begin to notice the small things — the way shop owners talk, the rhythm of the streets.” said Pan Yuchen, a university student visiting Chengdu, ____64____ city often seen as a symbol of slow travel for its famously unhurried pace, ____65____ locals linger over hotpot at all hours, and spend their afternoons in teahouses.

Near my home, there exists a charming little lake, equipped with a long walking path that winds its way gracefully around the water’s edge. When my kid, Tony, was young, we often drove there a few times a week. We liked to walk on the path. We could breathe fresh air and enjoy the beauty of nature.
One Autumn day, as we arrived at our usual destination, I couldn’t help but notice that the path, which had always been a source of such delight, was looking rather dirty. There was a lot of ugly trash on the path. It was obviously left by some walkers. And that made the lake lose its charm. When we started walking, after just a short while, we saw another piece of trash spoiling the nice view. Then Tony said that we could pick up the trash and make the lake a little cleaner. I agreed and so we bent down, picked up the trash, and put it in a bag. Before we made our way back to the car, I looked at the nearly full trash bag, and then I walked over to a nearby trash can to empty it. We didn’t pay much attention to that behavior after we returned. And our lives were the same as before.
One Thursday, when Tony came back from school, he told me that his school expected all the students to do something meaningful around them. And he asked me what he could do and what was a meaningful thing. Until that time, I just didn’t recall the park. So we were seeking things to do in the following days.
That weekend, we drove to the park with the intention of unwinding and having a pleasant time. We saw many children playing there and Tony said that he would join them later. As we drew closer to the walk path that encircles the charming lake, we noticed some scattered trash here and there. At that moment, I thought of Tony’s assignment and then a sudden inspiration struck me.
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。
I told Tony I knew what meaningful thing he could do.

Certainly, in addition to your participation in class, which accounts for ten percent, there will be a mid term test twenty percent, a final exam, thirty percent, and a research paper forty percent. Any questions? Do we have any reading assignments? Yes, I believe you've all got your textbook. You have to finish reading assigned chapters before each class. Apart from that, there's a list of books that you're required to read. Now let's have a close look at IT. Listen to the next question. Hello everybody. Thanks for your consistent support for our weekly meeting. New books sharing today. We've invited doctor casper melville lectures from the university of land. Doctor melville started out as a music journalist for a black music magazine called blues and soul. In nineteen and ninety two, he moved to san Francisco and founded a jaws magazine named on the one with some friends. They did a really good job, though there was not a lot of money in IT. In one thousand nine hundred ninety seven, he moved back to london and started teaching and made the decision to find another way to write about music. He grew up in london. He feels that the music in london clubs has formed him. But unfortunately, IT has been seriously undervalued by the academic world. In black music studies, jazz has received great attention, but dance music has been largely ignored. This book is a london thing is meant to change that situation. So let's welcome dr. R. R.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了Cornerstone学习中心的选修课程指南,包括学分认可、成绩评定、考试流程及不及格处理办法。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Students can transfer these credits to meet their graduation requirements on approval by their high school.(学生可以在高中批准的情况下转移这些学分以满足毕业要求。)”可知,学分只有在高中批准的情况下才能转移。故选C。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据◆Final Grade Determination部分中“The final grade for each course is based on a 100-point scale. A minimum final score of 60 is required to pass and earn credits.(每门课程的最终成绩以100分为基准。要通过并获得学分,最低最终成绩需要达到60分。)”以及“The final grade is calculated using the following components: Class Participation (20%) Unit Tests (30%) Final Exam (50%)(最终成绩由以下部分计算得出:课堂参与(20%)、单元测试(30%)、期末考试(50%))”可知,如果学生在课堂参与中得65分,在单元测试中得80分,在期末考试中得70分,那么他的最终成绩是65×20%+80×30%+70×50%=72分,72分大于60分,所以该学生通过了考试并获得了常规学分。故选B。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据◆What if a student does not pass a course?部分中“If a student does not achieve a passing grade, the following steps are recommended: The student should schedule a meeting with their Cornerstone academic advisor.(如果学生没有达到及格分数,建议采取以下步骤:学生应该安排与他们的Cornerstone学术顾问会面。)”可知,如果学生一门课程不及格,他应该首先与学术顾问预约。故选C。
B
When my mother passed away a few years ago, my father was left alone in the large house they had shared for 50 years. Without her to watch out for him, he was worried about who would find him and help if “something happened”.
My sister and I live in other states, so we hit on the idea that Dad could email us every morning when he awoke. Then “the Morning Report” was born.
He’s usually up by the crack of dawn, and his half a dozen or so sentences are waiting for me in my inbox when I wake up. If there’s no email, I call him, or my sister does, to make sure everything is fine. The reports have become more than an everyday check though; they’re a sort of diary, a catalyst (催化剂) for more extended conversations, and source of insight into his life.
Through these emails, Dad tells us about his routines. He might be heading to the grocery store for bananas, going to his cardiac-rehab (心脏康复) exercise class, or having lunch with friends. Recently he told us, “I’ve climbed halfway up Mount Washington!” Given his age and distance from New Hampshire, such a hike had been unlikely.
Each email closes with “All my love, Dad.” When my mother was alive, that feeling was normally reserved for her. Now that she is gone, he shares those feelings and his experiences with us. For me, what started as a simple security measure has spawned deeper closeness.
I’m grateful my father is still able to manage his computer and the Internet. I know the day will come when he’ll no longer be able to write the reports, and we’ll have to find other ways to keep track of one another. But until then, they are our way of knowing that another normal day has begun.
24. What was the original purpose of “the Morning Report”?
A. To ensure the father’s safety. B. To track the father’s daily routines.
C. To keep the father from feeling lonely. D. To help the father manage his large house.
25. What can be inferred about the father’s current life?
A. He leads a lonely life. B. He stays active and engaged.
C. He misses his wife very much. D. He is learning to use a computer.
26. Which is closest in meaning to “spawned” in paragraph 5?
A. Hidden. B. Weakened. C. Shadowed. D. Created.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A Daily Email Check B. A Father’s Daily Life
C. Love Across the Miles D. Connection via Technology
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了母亲离世后,子女让父亲每日发邮件报平安,这一方式不仅保障父亲安全,更拉近彼此距离,传递着远方的亲情。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When my mother passed away a few years ago, my father was left alone in the large house they had shared for 50 years. Without her to watch out for him, he was worried about who would find him and help if “something happened”.(几年前,我的母亲去世了,而我父亲独自一人留在他们共同居住了50年的大房子里。没有母亲在身边照顾他,他很担心如果“出了什么事”,谁会来找到他并提供帮助呢)”以及第二段“My sister and I live in other states, so we hit on the idea that Dad could email us every morning when he awoke. Then “the Morning Report” was born.(我的姐姐和我分别住在不同的州,于是我们想到了一个主意:爸爸每天早上醒来后可以给我们发电子邮件。就这样,“早间报告”便诞生了)”可知,“早间报告”最初的目的是确保父亲的安全。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Through these emails, Dad tells us about his routines. He might be heading to the grocery store for bananas, going to his cardiac-rehab (心脏康复) exercise class, or having lunch with friends. Recently he told us, “I’ve climbed halfway up Mount Washington!” Given his age and distance from New Hampshire, such a hike had been unlikely.(通过这些电子邮件,爸爸向我们讲述了他的日常活动安排。他可能会去杂货店买香蕉,去参加心脏康复训练课程,或者和朋友共进午餐。最近他告诉我们:“我爬到了华盛顿山的半山腰了!”考虑到他的年龄以及与新罕布什尔州的距离,这样的徒步旅行几乎是不可能的)”可知,他始终保持活跃且积极投入。故选B。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Each email closes with “All my love, Dad.” When my mother was alive, that feeling was normally reserved for her. Now that she is gone, he shares those feelings and his experiences with us. For me, what started as a simple security measure has spawned deeper closeness.(每封邮件的结尾都会写着“我所有的爱,爸爸”。在我母亲在世时,这种情感通常只属于她。如今她已离世,他将这些情感以及他的经历与我们分享。对我而言,最初只是个简单的安全保障方式,却spawned了我们之间更深的亲密)”可知,原本只是安全措施,后来产生、造就了更深的亲密感。故划线词“spawned”意思是“产生,创造”,与“Created”意思相近。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“My sister and I live in other states, so we hit on the idea that Dad could email us every morning when he awoke. Then “the Morning Report” was born.(我的姐姐和我分别住在不同的州,于是我们想到了一个主意:爸爸每天早上醒来后可以给我们发电子邮件。就这样,“早间报告”便诞生了)”结合全文内容可知,文章讲述子女与远在他乡的父亲通过每日邮件保持联系,不仅保障安全,更传递亲情与爱,体现了跨越距离的爱。C选项“千里之爱”准确概括了文章主题,是文章的最佳标题。故选C。
C
Many of us have got into the habit of listening to podcasts, audiobooks and other online content at increased playback speeds — a norm even for younger people. One survey of students in California found 89% adjusted online lecture speeds, with widespread media coverage of this common practice.
Faster playback offers clear advantages. It enables you to consume more content in the same amount of time or replaying the same content for better absorption. This could be particularly useful in an educational context, where it might free up time for knowledge application practice. Watching quickly is also potentially a good way to help sustain your attention and engagement for the entire duration to avoid the mind wandering.
There are, however, disadvantages. While people can process speech at 150-450 words per minute, the real concern lies in the quality and longevity of the memories formed. New information is first held in working memory, which has a limited capacity. If information arrives too quickly, this system can be overwhelmed, causing mental overload and information loss.
A recent comprehensive analysis of 24 studies on learning from video lectures, led by Theepan Tharumalingam from University of Waterloo, lends strong support to this claim. In these studies, participants were randomly assigned to watch lectures at normal speed or at increased speeds (1.25x to 2.5x), then tested on the content. The analysis revealed that increasing playback speed had increasingly negative effects on test performance. At speeds of up to 1.5x, the cost was very small. But at 2x and above, the negative effect was moderate to large.
However, we don’t yet know whether regular fast playback reduces its negative effects — such as coping with higher cognitive load and reducing memory loss. Neither is there any scientific evidence for potential long-term effects of fast playback on mental function and brain activity, which could be positive or negative in theory.
Even if 1.5x playback does not harm memory, there is evidence to suggest the experience is less enjoyable, possibly affecting people’s learning motivation and leading to avoidance. On the other hand, faster playback has become popular, so maybe once people get used to it, it’s fine — hopefully we’ll understand these processes better in the years to come.
28. How do students benefit from faster playback?
A. By fitting in with their classmates. B. By ensuring better memory of lectures.
C. By saving more time for hands-on practice. D. By focusing on the more engaging content.
29. What potential risk may faster playback cause?
A. Permanent damage to brain function. B. Limited capacity of working memory.
C. Failure to pass learning assessment tests. D. Reduced quality of information absorbed.
30. How did the author prove the disadvantages of faster playback?
A. By providing video lectures. B. By citing a research review.
C. By conducting an experiment. D. By interviewing the students.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards faster playback?
A. Approving. B. Pessimistic. C. Intolerant. D. Cautious.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨了以倍速播放音频/视频这一普遍现象的利弊,引用研究指出其虽然能节省时间,但可能影响信息吸收质量和记忆效果,尤其在高倍速下负面影响显著,同时作者也指出对其长期影响的研究尚不充分,持谨慎态度。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Faster playback offers clear advantages. It enables you to consume more content in the same amount of time or replaying the same content for better absorption. This could be particularly useful in an educational context, where it might free up time for knowledge application practice.(快进播放具有明显的优势。它能让你在相同时间内获取更多内容,或者重播相同内容以便更好地理解吸收。这在教育环境中可能会特别有用,因为它能够为知识应用实践腾出更多时间)”可知,倍速播放在教育情境下的一个好处是能腾出时间进行知识应用实践。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“While people can process speech at 150-450 words per minute, the real concern lies in the quality and longevity of the memories formed. New information is first held in working memory, which has a limited capacity. If information arrives too quickly, this system can be overwhelmed, causing mental overload and information loss.(虽然人们能够以每分钟150至450个单词的速度理解语言,但真正令人担忧的在于所形成记忆的质量和持久性。新信息首先会储存在工作记忆中,而工作记忆的容量是有限的。如果信息来得太快,这个系统就会不堪重负,导致精神负担过重和信息丢失)”可知,倍速播放的潜在风险在于可能降低信息吸收的质量。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“A recent comprehensive analysis of 24 studies on learning from video lectures, led by Theepan Tharumalingam from University of Waterloo, lends strong support to this claim. In these studies, participants were randomly assigned to watch lectures at normal speed or at increased speeds (1.25x to 2.5x), then tested on the content. The analysis revealed that increasing playback speed had increasingly negative effects on test performance. At speeds of up to 1.5x, the cost was very small. But at 2x and above, the negative effect was moderate to large.(由滑坦·塔鲁马林加姆博士领导的一项针对24项有关从视频讲座中学习的研究的最新综合分析,为这一观点提供了有力的支持。在这些研究中,参与者被随机分配观看正常速度的讲座或加快速度(1.25倍至2.5倍)的讲座,然后对相关内容进行测试。分析显示,提高播放速度对测试成绩的影响越来越负面。在1.5倍的速度下,成本非常低。但在 2 倍及以上的速度下,负面影响则为中等到较大程度)”可知,作者是通过引用一项研究综述来证明的。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even if 1.5x playback does not harm memory, there is evidence to suggest the experience is less enjoyable, possibly affecting people’s learning motivation and leading to avoidance. On the other hand, faster playback has become popular, so maybe once people get used to it, it’s fine — hopefully we’ll understand these processes better in the years to come.(即使 1.5 倍速播放不会损害记忆力,也有证据表明,这种体验没那么愉快,这可能会影响人们的学习动力,甚至导致逃避学习。另一方面,加快播放速度的做法也变得流行起来,所以也许一旦人们习惯了这种方式,那就没什么问题了——希望在未来几年我们能更深入地理解这些过程)”可知,作者持谨慎观望的态度。故选D。
D
“I write to find out what I’m thinking, ” wrote the great American journalist John Dos Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth: the act of writing transforms half - formed ideas into precise, logical thought. What sounds coherent (有条理的) when spoken often appears weak and illogical when committed to paper.
A recent MIT study provides convincing scientific evidence for this claim. Researchers used wearable brain scanners to compare students who wrote essays independently with those using AI assistance. The findings were clear: AI-assisted writers “consistently underperformed at brain, verbal, and behavioural levels”. They demonstrated that we need to write in order to think deeply.
This research emerges at a critical historical moment for literacy. Childhood reading has reached record lows, with nearly half of British adults not reading a single book last year. Adult literacy is declining or making no progress across most OECD countries. Notably, average IQs have begun to decline since the 1980s, along with reasoning and problem-solving abilities — a trend that is unlikely to be random.
Walter Ong’s influential work “Orality and Literacy” clarifies why writing is essential. He argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece’s intellectual revolution. Oral cultures must “think memorable thoughts”, relying on rhyme, emotion, and cliché (陈词滥调) to preserve knowledge. Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments.
In our digital age, no technology has surpassed the complicated architecture of the book. While the internet offers fragmented (碎片化的) information, books provide rich context and sustained logical connections. Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text.
As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning. Reading and writing form the foundation of serious thought — a habit that unites history’s greatest minds. Before we yield our cognitive development to screens and algorithms, we must carefully consider what we might be sacrificing.
32. How does AI assistance affect writing according to the MIT study?
A. It reduces deep thinking. B. It improves writing speed.
C. It enhances creative expression. D. It has little impact on brain activity.
33. Why is writing essential for developing logical arguments?

【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The findings were clear: AI-assisted writers “consistently underperformed at brain, verbal, and behavioural levels”. They demonstrated that we need to write in order to think deeply. (研究结果十分明确:借助人工智能辅助创作的作者在智力、语言能力和行为表现方面“始终表现不佳”。研究还表明,我们需要通过写作来深入思考。)”可知,人工智能辅助减少了深度思考。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments. (相比之下,写作则能够实现精确且复杂的表述,这些表述可以被审视、回顾,并进而发展成为逻辑严密的论证。)”可知,写作对于构建逻辑论证至关重要是因为它能促成准确且可修正的表述。故选D。
【34题详解】

What sounds coherent (有条理的) when spoken often appears weak and illogical when committed to paper. (“我写作是为了弄清楚自己的想法,”美国著名记者约翰·多斯·帕索斯如是说。任何从事写作的人都明白这一真理:写作这一行为将不成熟的想法转化为清晰、有条理的思考。口头表述时听起来条理清晰的内容,写下来往往显得薄弱且缺乏逻辑性)”结合文章主要论述写作能梳理思想、深入思考,结合研究与理论说明读写的重要性,担忧数字时代碎片化内容对复杂推理能力的影响。可知,C选项“写作:深度思考的基础”最符合文章标题。故选C。

The downside of creating good habits
Habits create the foundation for mastery. In chess, it is only after the basic movements of the pieces have become automatic that a player can focus on the next level of the game. Each unit of information that is memorized opens up the mental space for more effortful thinking. ____36____ When you know the simple movements so well that you can perform them without thinking, you are free to pay attention to more advanced details. In this way, habits are the backbone of any pursuit of excellence.
However, the benefits of habits come at a cost. At first, each repetition develops fluency, speed, and skill. ____37____ You fall into mindless repetition. It becomes easier to let mistakes slide. When you can do it well enough on autopilot, you stop thinking about how to do it better.
The upside of habits is that we can do things without thinking. The downside of habits is that you get used to doing things a certain way and stop paying attention to little errors. ____38____ In reality, you are merely reinforcing your current habits — not improving them. In fact, some research has shown that once a skill has been mastered there is usually a slight decline in performance over time.
____39____ To achieve top levels of performance, you need a refined approach. You can’t repeat the same things blindly and expect to become exceptional. What you need is a combination of automatic habits and deliberate practice. After one habit has been mastered, you have to return to the effortful part of the work.
Old tasks become easier the second time around, but it doesn’t get easier overall because now you’re pouring your energy into the next challenge. Each habit unlocks the next level of performance. ____40____
A. It’s an endless cycle.
B. This is true for any attempt.
C. Next, you will get more positive feedback.
D. Habits are necessary, but not sufficient for mastery.
E. With habits like these, good enough is usually good enough.
F. You assume you’re getting better because you’re gaining experience.
G. But then, as a habit becomes automatic, you become less sensitive to feedback.
【答案】36. B 37. G 38. F 39. D 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了习惯对追求卓越的双刃剑效应:习惯虽为精通奠定基础,但若陷入无意识的重复,则可能导致进步停滞甚至倒退,唯有将自动化习惯与刻意练习结合,才能不断突破。
【36题详解】
上文“Habits create the foundation for mastery. In chess, it is only after the basic movements of the pieces have become automatic that a player can focus on the next level of the game. Each unit of information that is memorized opens up the mental space for more effortful thinking. (习惯为精通奠定基础。在国际象棋中,只有当棋子的基本走法变得自动时,棋手才能专注于比赛的下一阶段。每一个被记住的信息单元都为更费力的思考打开了心智空间)”通过国际象棋的类比阐述了习惯如何释放认知资源以追求更高层次。B选项“This is true for any attempt. (这对于任何尝试都是如此)”承接上文,指出上文所阐述的习惯释放认知资源的原理具有普遍适用性。下文“When you know the simple movements so well that you can perform them without thinking, you are free to pay attention to more advanced details. (当你对简单动作了如指掌,可以不假思索地完成时,你就能自由地关注更高级的细节)”则进一步具体描述这一状态。故选B项。
【37题详解】
上文“At first, each repetition develops fluency, speed, and skill. (起初,每一次重复都能提升流畅度、速度和技巧)”描述了习惯养成的积极初期阶段。G选项“But then, as a habit becomes automatic, you become less sensitive to feedback. (但随后,随着习惯变得自动,你对反馈的敏感度会降低)”通过“But then”与上文构成时间与逻辑上的转折,指出习惯自动化后的转变。下文“You fall into mindless repetition. It becomes easier to let mistakes slide. When you can do it well enough on autopilot, you stop thinking about how to do it better. (你会陷入无意识的重复。更容易放任错误。当你能靠自动导航做得足够好时,你就会停止思考如何做得更好)”则具体描述了“对反馈敏感度降低”所导致的一系列消极后果。故选G项。
【38题详解】
上文“The upside of habits is that we can do things without thinking. The downside of habits is that you get used to doing things a certain way and stop paying attention to little errors. (习惯的好处是我们可以不假思索地做事。习惯的坏处是你习惯于某种方式做事,不再关注小错误)”总结了习惯的双刃剑特性。F选项“You assume you’re getting better because you’re gaining experience. (你因为获得了经验,就以为自己正在变得更好)”承接上文,解释了为何人们会忽视错误、停止改进——因为他们错误地将经验的积累等同于能力的提升。下文“In reality, you are merely reinforcing your current habits — not improving them. (实际上,你只是在强化当前的习惯——而非改进它们)”则用“In reality”对上文的错误认知进行纠正,形成“错误认知—现实真相”的逻辑呼应。故选F项。
【39题详解】
下文“To achieve top levels of performance, you need a refined approach. You can’t repeat the same things blindly and expect to become exceptional. What you need is a combination of automatic habits and deliberate practice. After one habit has been mastered, you have to return to the effortful part of the work. (要达到顶级表现,你需要精进的方法。你不能盲目重复相同的事情却期望变得卓越。你需要的是自动化习惯与刻意练习的结合。当一个习惯被掌握后,你必须回到需要付出努力的部分)”提出了超越习惯瓶颈、追求卓越的具体方法——习惯与刻意练习相结合。D选项“Habits are necessary, but not sufficient for mastery. (习惯是必要的,但对于精通而言并不足够)”作为本段首句,精准概括了下文的核心观点:习惯是基础但非全部,从而引出下文对“刻意练习”这一补充要素的阐述。故选D项。
【40题详解】
上文“Old tasks become easier the second time around, but it doesn’t get easier overall because now you’re pouring your energy into the next challenge. Each habit unlocks the next level of performance. (旧任务第二次做会更容易,但整体上并不会变得更容易,因为现在你把精力投入到下一个挑战中。每个习惯都解锁了下一层级的性能)”描述了通过习惯释放认知资源、不断挑战新高度的动态过程。A选项“It’s an endless cycle. (这是一个无尽的循环)”承接上文,用“endless cycle”精准概括了上文所描述的“掌握旧习惯—释放资源—迎接新挑战”这一周而复始的进步模式,作为全文结尾,既总结了本段观点,也呼应了文章开篇对习惯与卓越关系的探讨。故选A项。

第二节 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分:共15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Not long ago, traveling in China meant racing against the clock. Overnight trains, sunrise hikes, and five scenic spots before lunch ____56____ (wear) like badges of honour. The faster and more exhausting the itinerary (行程), the better the story sounded afterward. In the past few years, that logic ____57____ (give) way to a new belief quietly among young people that vacations should feel less like boot camp.
According to a 2025 survey released by China Youth Daily, 55.3 percent of young respondents now prefer “immersive slow travel”, while more than half favour flexible independent trips ____58____ tightly organised tours.
The shift is visible in both behaviour and business. Once-popular “special-forces-style tourism” — where travellers sprint through cities to maximise check-ins — has evolved into ____59____ social media jokingly calls “low-consumption travel”. The idea is simple: minimal physical strain, maximum emotional return. At scenic sites across Guangdong, Zhejiang and Hubei provinces, operators have redesigned ____60____ (attract) to match the new pace.

Travel, increasingly, is no longer about how far you go — but how deeply you arrive. “When you rush, every city ends up ____63____ (look) like the same photo. When you stay, you begin to notice the small things — the way shop owners talk, the rhythm of the streets.” said Pan Yuchen, a university student visiting Chengdu, ____64____ city often seen as a symbol of slow travel for its famously unhurried pace, ____65____ locals linger over hotpot at all hours, and spend their afternoons in teahouses.

【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国年轻人旅游方式从“特种兵式旅游”向“沉浸式慢旅行”转变的现象、原因以及相关行业的变化。
【56题详解】
考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意:夜行列车、日出徒步、午饭前逛完五个景点,这些经历都像荣誉勋章一样刻在身上。此空作谓语动词,结合上下文可知,句子描述过去的旅游方式,用一般过去时,主语是多个并列名词,与wear (佩戴,呈现)是被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were worn。
【57题详解】
考查现在完成时。句意:在过去几年里,这种观念在年轻人中已悄然让位于一种新的想法:假期不该过得像军训一样紧绷。时间状语in the past few years是现在完成时的标志,主语是单数。故填has given。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:根据《中国青年报》2025年发布的一项调查显示,55.3%的年轻受访者如今更喜欢“沉浸式慢旅行”,超过一半的人偏爱灵活的自由行而非安排紧凑的跟团游。favour A over B表示“偏爱A胜过B”。故填over。
【59题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:曾经风靡一时的“特种兵式旅游”——游客们在城市间奔波打卡,力求行程最大化——如今已演变成社交媒体戏称的“低消费旅行”。空格处引导宾语从句作介词into的宾语,空处在从句中作call的宾语,指“……的事情”,用连接代词what引导从句。故填what。
【60题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:在广东、浙江、湖北等省的景区,经营者们重新设计了景点以适应新的节奏。空处需填名词作宾语,attract变为名词attraction,此处用复数表示多处景点。故填attractions。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:例如在佛山西樵山,游客可以体验经过改良的蹦极项目,这种蹦极会让参与者缓缓下降,而不是全速坠落。空处作定语修饰bungee jump,adapt与bungee jump构成逻辑上的动宾关系,用过去分词表被动,表示“被改良的蹦极项目”。故填adapted。
【62题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。修饰动词lowers需要用副词形式。故填gently。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当你匆匆忙忙时,每座城市最终看起来都只是一模一样的照片。end up doing sth.为固定搭配,表示“最终做某事”,填动名词作宾语。故填looking。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:正在成都游玩的大学生潘雨晨如是说。这座城市常因出了名的慢节奏被视为慢旅行的象征,当地人随时都能慢悠悠地吃火锅,还会在茶馆里消磨午后时光。此处表示泛指“一座城市”,空后city以辅音开头,用不定冠词a。故填a。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Chengdu,关系词在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Near my home, there exists a charming little lake, equipped with a long walking path that winds its way gracefully around the water’s edge. When my kid, Tony, was young, we often drove there a few times a week. We liked to walk on the path. We could breathe fresh air and enjoy the beauty of nature.
One Autumn day, as we arrived at our usual destination, I couldn’t help but notice that the path, which had always been a source of such delight, was looking rather dirty. There was a lot of ugly trash on the path. It was obviously left by some walkers. And that made the lake lose its charm. When we started walking, after just a short while, we saw another piece of trash spoiling the nice view. Then Tony said that we could pick up the trash and make the lake a little cleaner. I agreed and so we bent down, picked up the trash, and put it in a bag. Before we made our way back to the car, I looked at the nearly full trash bag, and then I walked over to a nearby trash can to empty it. We didn’t pay much attention to that behavior after we returned. And our lives were the same as before.
One Thursday, when Tony came back from school, he told me that his school expected all the students to do something meaningful around them. And he asked me what he could do and what was a meaningful thing. Until that time, I just didn’t recall the park. So we were seeking things to do in the following days.
That weekend, we drove to the park with the intention of unwinding and having a pleasant time. We saw many children playing there and Tony said that he would join them later. As we drew closer to the walk path that encircles the charming lake, we noticed some scattered trash here and there. At that moment, I thought of Tony’s assignment and then a sudden inspiration struck me.
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。
I told Tony I knew what meaningful thing he could do.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Seeing our efforts, more people joined us.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I told Tony I knew what meaningful thing he could do. I said, “Remember when we picked up trash here last time? Let’s do it again. It’ll make the park beautiful and is a great project for your school.” Tony’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement, his face glowing with anticipation. “That’s a wonderful idea, Mom!” he exclaimed. Then we quickly got the gloves and trash bags from the car and got right to work, gathering trash along the path. Tony was especially enthusiastic, darting from one piece of litter to the next.
Seeing our efforts, more people joined us. The children, who had been playing nearby, also came over, their eyes wide with curiosity and eagerness. With so many hands, the clean-up went much faster. We not only cleared the path but also organized a small awareness campaign about keeping the park clean. Tony was beaming with pride as he realized how much impact his simple act could have. This experience has taught him that even a small deed can inspire a big change and make the world a better place.
