I was twelve at the time, and my father, a quiet man who loved writing, had worked on his book for months. His study was messy, filled with coffee cups and paper—proof of his hard work. That evening, the mailman brought a thick envelope. My younger sister Lily, always eager to check the mail, grabbed it and ____13____ it to dad with excitement. Dad looked at the sender’s name—a famous publishing company—and sighed. Without saying anything, he dropped the envelope onto a shelf near his desk. “Dad, won’t you open it?” Lily asked, sounding confused. “It’s probably just another ____14____,” he replied quietly, staring at his computer screen. His voice was calm, but I saw his hands shake slightly. The room fell into a heavy ____15____, except for the sound of typing. Lily, however, didn’t give up. She pulled a chair to the shelf, climbed up, and grabbed the envelope. With her small hands, she ____16____ it open. “Look! It’s from the publisher!” she shouted, holding the letter high. Dad stopped typing. Slowly, he took the letter and read, “We are happy to tell you that your book has been chosen for publication…” His voice broke as he held the paper tightly. Lily laughed and jumped around. “I knew they’d like it!” Her eyes shone with pride, as if she’d uncovered a hidden treasure. Dad’s face changed—first surprise, then hope, and finally relief. He hugged Lily tightly. “Thank you,” he whispered, “for not giving up on me.” Years later, whenever dad feels unsure about sending his work, he remembers Lily’s words, ____17____ him to try. Now, I’ve started writing too—short stories in notebooks, poems on paper. When I doubt myself, dad places a hand on my shoulder and says, “Just send it. What matters is having the ____18____ to try.” Last month, I received my first refusal letter. For a moment, my heart ____19____. But Lily ran into my room, grabbed the letter, and said, “Next time, they’ll say yes! Want to bet a cookie? ” Her smile made me laugh. This journey taught me that success isn’t just about skill—it’s about having someone who ____20____ supports you, even when things seem hard. And sometimes, that someone is a little sister who never stops believing. 13. A. mailed B. sent C. handed D. delivered 14. A. invitation B. message C. reminder D. refusal 15. A. silence B. noise C. darkness D. laughter 16. A. cut B. tore C. folded D. threw 17. A. teaching B. pushing C. allowing D. helping 18. A. courage B. excuse C. idea D. effort 19. A. raced B. beat C. sank D. stopped 20. A. purposely B. secretly C. unconditionally D. accidentally 【答案】13. C 14. D 15. A 16. B 17. B 18. A 19. C 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文通过父亲写作出版的经历，展现了妹妹莉莉的鼓励与信任对父亲的重要性，同时作者也受其影响，领悟到成功离不开他人的无条件支持。 【13题详解】 句意：我的妹妹莉莉，总是迫不及待地想查看邮件，她一把抓起信封，兴奋地递给了爸爸。 前文提到莉莉“抓起信封”，结合语境是亲手交给爸爸。hand sth. to sb.“把某物递给某人”，符合动作逻辑。 【14题详解】 句意：这可能又是一次拒绝。 爸爸叹气且把信封放下，表现出消极情绪，结合后文莉莉的鼓励和最终的出版结果，可推断爸爸此前多次被拒，推测这次又是“拒绝”，呼应后文“坚持不放弃” 的主题。refusal符合语境。 【15题详解】 句意：房间陷入了一阵沉重的寂静，只有敲击键盘的声音。 后文except for the sound of typing“除了打字声”，说明房间是安静的，heavy silence表示“沉重的寂静”，符合压抑的氛围。 【16题详解】 句意：她用小小的手，撕开了信封。 莉莉想快速打开信封看内容，用小手“撕开”信封最符合语境。tore符合语境。 【17题详解】 句意：多年后，每当爸爸对投稿感到不确定时，他都会想起莉莉的话，鼓励他继续尝试。 莉莉的话是父亲坚持的动力，push sb. to do sth.表示“推动/鼓励某人做某事”，比help/teach更能体现莉莉的话对父亲的激励作用。 【18题详解】 句意：重要的是拥有勇气去尝试。 爸爸说“只管寄出去”，强调的是面对退稿时敢于尝试的“勇气”，courage符合语境。 【19题详解】 句意：那一刻，我的心一沉。 收到退稿心情低落，heart sinks是固定表达，意为“心情一沉/沮丧”，符合语境。 【20题详解】 句意：这段经历教会我，成功不仅仅取决于技能——它在于拥有一个无条件支持你的人。 文章核心是莉莉在爸爸困难时始终支持、相信他，体现的是“无条件的支持”，unconditionally准确概括了这份支持的特质。 三、阅读理解 (每题2分，共26分) (一) 阅读下列传统工艺课程介绍，请根据人物需求匹配最适合的课程，并将其对应的A、B、C、D选项填在相应的位置上。选项中有一项为多余选项。 A Traditional Craft Classes A Kite Workshop Do you like flying kites?

It wasn’t fancy, just a simple silver watch with some old words on the back. “Time is precious,” it read. Whenever Ben visited, his grandfather would let him wind it up (上发条) and listen to the soft ticking. One evening, while helping his grandfather clean the attic, Ben found an old wooden box buried under some books. Inside was the pocket watch, but the hands did not move. He turned to his grandfather. “It stopped working,” Ben said, disappointed. His grandfather took the watch gently and smiled. “Yes. It stopped a long time ago”. “But do you know why I kept it?” Ben shook his head. “Because it reminds me that time doesn’t wait for anyone. When I was young. I always thought I had plenty of time to do the things I wanted—travel, learn new skills, spend time with family. But I didn’t do anything. Then one day, I looked at this watch, and I realized something: time was passing quickly. even when I wasn’t paying attention.” His grandfather continued, “That’s when I decided to stop waiting. I started to learn to play the violin, I traveled to places I had only dreamed about, and most importantly, I made sure to spend time with the people l love.” Ben looked down at the watch. It might not work anymore, but it still had a purpose—it told a story. That night, Ben lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. He thought about the things he didn’t do—finishing his book, helping his little sister with her painting, and visiting the park with his dad. The next morning, as he got ready for school. Ben made a decision. He wouldn’t wait any longer. 24. Why did Ben’s grandfather keep the broken pocket watch? A. Because he wanted to fix it one day. B. Because it was part of the family tradition.

Now imagine that someone could listen in. Recently, scientists from the University of Texas, have made another step in that direction. In a study published in Neuroscience, the team showed it was possible to read people’s thoughts with a brain scanner called fMRI and large language models (LLMs) built with GPT. The study centered on three subjects, who lay in an fMRI scanner recording their brain activity by noticing changes in blood flow in parts of their brains while they listened to online stories. By putting together this information with the LLMs’ ability to understand how words relate to one another, the researchers developed an encoded (编码的) map of how each individual’s brain responded to different words. Then, the team worked backward. They recorded the fMRI activity while the participants listened to a new story. Using a combination of the patterns encoded for each individual before and LLMs, the researchers attempted to translate this new brain activity. While many of the sentences it produced were inaccurate (不准确的), the decoder generated sentences that got the main idea of what the person was thinking. For example, when a person heard, “I don’t have my driver’s license yet,” the decoder produced, “She has not even started to learn to drive yet.” Alex Huth from the university said, “We were shocked and impressed that this worked as well as it does.” The researchers also found that the technology isn’t one-size-fits-all. Each decoder was quite personalized and worked only for the person whose brain data had helped build it. Additionally, a person had to voluntarily cooperate for the decoder to identify ideas. If a person wasn’t paying attention to an audio story, the decoder couldn’t pick that story up from brain signals. While the technology was still far from perfect, the result could finally lead to devices that help people who can’t talk or otherwise communicate easily. However, the research also raises privacy concerns about unwelcome neural overhearing. The team said the potential of the technology was such that policymakers should take action on how it can be legally used. Jerry Tang from the team said, “Nobody’s brain should be decoded without their permission. If one day it does become possible to get accurate decoding without a person’s will, we’ll have a set of rules in place.” 27. What is the study mainly about? A. The working method of a smart scanner. B. The possible effect of mind-reading GPT. C. The breakthrough in large language models. D. The advance in brain-decoding technology. 28. What can you learn from the passage? A. The researchers managed to use brain activity patterns to read the subjects’ minds. B. The decoder produced more correct sentences when the person got more attentive. C. The researchers fed the decoder data on people’s brain activities to produce signals. D. The team worked backward by recording the fMRI activity to check thinking ability. 29. What will the team most probably do next? A. Personalize the technology. B. Apply the technology across fields. C. Break limitations of the technology. D. Create proper rules to prevent misuse. 【答案】27. D 28. A 29. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了德克萨斯大学科学家利用 fMRI 脑扫描仪和大型语言模型（LLMs）开展的脑解码技术研究，阐述了研究过程、技术特点及面临的隐私等问题。 【27题详解】 根据第二段“In a study published in Neuroscience, the team showed it was possible to read people’s thoughts with a brain scanner called fMRI and large language models (LLMs) built with GPT.”及全文对脑解码技术研究的介绍可知，文章核心是关于脑解码技术的进展。 【28题详解】 根据第三段“By putting together this information with the LLMs’ ability to understand how words relate to one another, the researchers developed an encoded (编码的) map of how each individual’s brain responded to different words...the researchers attempted to translate this new brain activity.”可知，研究者成功利用大脑活动模式来解读受试者的想法。 【29题详解】 文章最后一段研究团队的表述“Nobody’s brain should be decoded without their permission. If one day it does become possible to get accurate decoding without a person’s will, we’ll have a set of rules in place”，团队接下来最可能制定合适规则防止技术滥用。D项符合原文推断。 D “You’ll get square eyes!” my mother used to say as I sat for hour after hour glued to the TV. I ignored her, of course. Fast-forward a few decades and now I’m the parent. My 5-year-old lives in a world where screens aren’t fixed pieces of furniture. You can’t even avoid them by going outside. Screens are not only in our pockets; they’re everywhere. The concerns have grown with the screens. In the past decade; we have heard that they will damage our mental health. Many of us feel more distracted by them, feelings guiltier and more tired as a result. The apps and websites on our phones have also sparked widespread concern. Big tech companies are also good at making use of our need for social recognition hooking us on likes, retweets and follower counts. Social media has created a culture of mass narcissism (自恋), which has led many to worry about the emotional stresses on teenagers. A quick online search brings up papers linking screen use or social media with harmful effects on mental health, including depression and suicide. Such statements are alarming. They are also widely believed, thanks to popular books like iGen by Jean Twenge, which claims that digital technology has ruined a generation. Yet, Amy Orben at the University of Oxford, who studies the impact of digital technology and social media in particular on mental health, holds different views. She claims that the underlying data can be used to tell different stories. She also spotted shortcomings in several large studies that claimed to show correlations (相关性) between the use of devices with screens and depression in users. Twenge stands by her own finding, pointing in turn to what she considers flaws in Orben’s research methods. For David Max, at Royal College of Child Health in London, the effect of screen time and social media use on mental health remains speculative. “We cannot regard social media overall as good or bad,” says David. “We don’t know whether in individual cases social media is responsible or not,” he says. The sharp increase in mobile phone use has completely changed our lives. I can download movies, write articles, communicate with my family and broadcast to the world all at the push of a button. Rather than set limits, we should take a look at our use of screens and ask how they fit with the activities and lifestyle. Every new technology with widespread impact has given rise to new fears. So the best bet may simply be to ask yourself what level of screen use makes you and those around you happy and try to stick to it. If you find yourself overly addictive, don’t panic—and certainly don’t feel guilty. Nobody knows anything worth getting scared about. 30. According to the passage, people give likes, retweet or count followers to ________. A. show respect for others B. seek social recognition C. share one’s lifestyle D. relieve emotional stresses 31. What can be learned from the passage? A. Teenagers are more affected by screen use both physically and mentally. B. Big tech companies help to produce many research papers on mental health. C. Orben claims it is far too early to blame screen use for ruining a generation. D. Twenge mainly introduces the overall benefits of digital technology in her books. 32. The underlined word “speculative” probably means “ ________”. A. noticeable B. important C. specific D. doubtful 33. The passage is written to ________. A. relieve people’s worries about the use of screens B. encourage readers to reduce the time of screen use C. share different opinions on the effects of screen use D. explain why screen use may have negative effects on people 【答案】30. B 31. C 32. D 33. C 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕“屏幕使用是否损害心理健康”这一争议话题，呈现了以Twenge为代表的担忧派与以Orben为代表的审慎派之间的对立观点，最后建议读者根据自身情况合理控制屏幕使用，无需过度恐慌。 【30题详解】 第三段第二句指出：“Big tech companies are also good at making use of our need for social recognition hooking us on likes, retweets and follower counts.” 可见，这些行为源于对“社会认可”的需求，而非尊重他人、分享生活方式或缓解情绪压力。 【31题详解】 第四段中Orben指出现有数据可被不同解读，且多项研究存在缺陷；第五段她又表示无法判断社交媒体在个案中的具体作用。综合其观点可知，她认为目前将屏幕使用归咎为“毁掉一代人”为时过早。A项无比较依据，B项文中未提及，D项与Twenge书中观点相反。 【32题详解】 第五段中David Max提出屏幕使用对心理健康的影响remains speculative，随后补充“We cannot regard social media overall as good or bad”“We don’t know whether in individual cases social media is responsible or not”。这些表述均指向不确定性与推测性，因此speculative意为“不确定的、推测性的”，与doubtful语义最接近。 【33题详解】 全文先介绍人们对屏幕使用的普遍担忧，再呈现Twenge与Orben的正反双方观点，最后建议读者“ask yourself what level of screen use makes you happy”并指出“nobody knows anything worth getting scared about”。可见作者旨在客观呈现不同观点，引导读者理性看待屏幕使用，而非单纯说教减少使用或解释负面影响。 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达 (第34-36每题2分，第37题4分，共10分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The Paradox (矛盾) of Choices A little café “The Sip and Smile”, known for its simple atmosphere. had been a gathering place in a small town for years. The café offered a menu with three coffee choices: black, cappuccino, and latte. People came, ordered their favorites, and enjoyed conversations that went long after the coffee cups were empty. One day the cafe decided to broaden its menu. In an effort to attract more customers, it introduced 50 kinds of coffee, from espresso to flavored frappes. However, a strange thing started happening. As the menu grew, the once-busy cafe began losing its charm. People would walk in, look at the endless list of choices. and hesitate, unable to decide. The pleasant conversation that used to fill the air turned into voices of uncertainty: “Should I try mocha today? Or maybe macchiato? Wait, maybe..?” What had once been a simple, joyous act of ordering coffee now felt like a burden. Customers spent more time choosing than enjoying. The town folk, who once loved the café for its simple choices were now confused by too many choices. Psychologist Barry Schwartz introduced the idea of the “paradox of choice,” which suggests that while having some choices is good, having too many can lead to anxiety, indecision, and dissatisfaction. This. paradox appears because we start to worry that we’ll make the wrong decision. or miss out on better choices as choices increase. After months of decreasing business, the cafe learned its lesson. The café owner decided to return to a simpler menu. Now, customers had a select few choices, each made with are. Conversations returned, the laughter came back, and the café once again became a place where choices felt easy and joyful. In life, the best decision often has nothing to do with the number of choices—it’s the one that brings us peace. Just like the customers of the café, we too can find comfort in simple choices. 34. What was the little café “The Sip and Smile” known for? _____________________________________ 35. How did the café try to attract more customers? _____________________________________ 36. Why does the paradox of choices appear? _____________________________________ 37. Do you prefer more choices or fewer choices when making a decision? Why? (Give at least two reasons.) _____________________________________ 【答案】34. Its simple atmosphere. 35. By broadening its menu and introducing 50 kinds of coffee. 36. Because we start to worry that we’ll make the wrong decision, or miss out on better choices as choices increase. 37. I prefer fewer choices. Because fewer choices can save time. Also, I won't feel confused and anxious when making a decision./I prefer more choices. Because more choices mean more opportunities to find the most suitable option. And it can satisfy my diverse needs. (答案不唯一，合理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一家名为“The Sip and Smile”的小咖啡馆，原本因简单氛围受喜爱，增加咖啡种类后生意变差，引出“选择悖论”，最终咖啡馆回归简单菜单恢复生机，揭示生活中简单选择更能带来平静。 【34题详解】 根据“A little cafe ‘The Sip and Smile’, known for its simple atmosphere”可知，这家小咖啡馆以其简单的氛围而闻名。故填Its simple atmosphere. 【35题详解】 根据“In an effort to attract more customers, it introduced 50 kinds of coffee”可知，这家咖啡馆通过引入50种咖啡来吸引更多顾客。故填By introducing 50 kinds of coffee. 【36题详解】 根据“This paradox appears because we start to worry that we’ll make the wrong decision, or miss out on better choices as choices increase.”可知，选择悖论出现是因为随着选择增多，我们开始担心做出错误决定或错过更好的选择。故填Because we start to worry that we’ll make the wrong decision, or miss out on better choices as choices increase. 【37题详解】 开放性作答，言之有理即可。参考答案为I prefer fewer choices. Because fewer choices can save time. Also, I won't feel confused and anxious when making a decision./I prefer more choices. Because more choices mean more opportunities to find the most suitable option. And it can satisfy my diverse needs. 五、文段表达 (10分) 38. 从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的真实校名和姓名。 题目① 38. 在当今社会，环境问题已经成为全球关注的焦点。从大气污染到水资源短缺，从塑料垃圾泛滥到森林面积急剧减少，这些问题严重威胁着地球的生态平衡以及人类的未来。为了提高大家的环保意识，呼吁更多人参与到环保行动中来，我校将举行一次环保宣传活动，假如你是李华，请写一则英文邀请信，告知交换生Peter活动时间、地点，活动中做什么，为什么举行这次活动。 提示词语：pollution, protect, environment, take action, responsible 提示问题：• When and where will the environmental protection activity take place? • What are you going to do during the activity? • Why do you hold the activity? Dear Peter, I’m writing to invite you to an environmental protection activity. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I’m looking forward to seeing you there! Yours, Li Hua 【答案】One possible version: Dear Peter, I’m writing to invite you to an environmental protection activity. It’s going to take place at 9 a.m. this Saturday in the People’s Park near our school. During the activity, we’ll first pick up plastic waste and sort it out. Then, we’ll hand out leaflets to passers-by, introducing ways to save water and electricity. Finally, we’ll hold a speech contest on how to protect forests. The reason why we hold this activity is that environmental problems have become a global concern.

It marks the end of one chapter and the start of another. As I look back on my school years, the most unforgettable event was the class trip to the mountains. It was unforgettable because we worked together to overcome challenges, shared laughter, and created lasting memories. This experience taught me the importance of teamwork and perseverance. Now, as I prepare to graduate, I feel a mix of emotions. I’m sad to say goodbye to my teachers and classmates, who have been a big part of my life.

I was twelve at the time, and my father, a quiet man who loved writing, had worked on his book for months. His study was messy, filled with coffee cups and paper—proof of his hard work. That evening, the mailman brought a thick envelope. My younger sister Lily, always eager to check the mail, grabbed it and ____13____ it to dad with excitement. Dad looked at the sender’s name—a famous publishing company—and sighed. Without saying anything, he dropped the envelope onto a shelf near his desk. “Dad, won’t you open it?” Lily asked, sounding confused. “It’s probably just another ____14____,” he replied quietly, staring at his computer screen. His voice was calm, but I saw his hands shake slightly. The room fell into a heavy ____15____, except for the sound of typing. Lily, however, didn’t give up. She pulled a chair to the shelf, climbed up, and grabbed the envelope. With her small hands, she ____16____ it open. “Look! It’s from the publisher!” she shouted, holding the letter high. Dad stopped typing. Slowly, he took the letter and read, “We are happy to tell you that your book has been chosen for publication…” His voice broke as he held the paper tightly. Lily laughed and jumped around. “I knew they’d like it!” Her eyes shone with pride, as if she’d uncovered a hidden treasure. Dad’s face changed—first surprise, then hope, and finally relief. He hugged Lily tightly. “Thank you,” he whispered, “for not giving up on me.” Years later, whenever dad feels unsure about sending his work, he remembers Lily’s words, ____17____ him to try. Now, I’ve started writing too—short stories in notebooks, poems on paper. When I doubt myself, dad places a hand on my shoulder and says, “Just send it. What matters is having the ____18____ to try.” Last month, I received my first refusal letter. For a moment, my heart ____19____. But Lily ran into my room, grabbed the letter, and said, “Next time, they’ll say yes! Want to bet a cookie? ” Her smile made me laugh.

And sometimes, that someone is a little sister who never stops believing. 13. A. mailed B. sent C. handed D. delivered 14. A. invitation B. message C. reminder D. refusal 15.

(二) 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 B Ben had always admired his grandfather’s old pocket watch. It wasn’t fancy, just a simple silver watch with some old words on the back. “Time is precious,” it read. Whenever Ben visited, his grandfather would let him wind it up (上发条) and listen to the soft ticking. One evening, while helping his grandfather clean the attic, Ben found an old wooden box buried under some books. Inside was the pocket watch, but the hands did not move. He turned to his grandfather. “It stopped working,” Ben said, disappointed. His grandfather took the watch gently and smiled. “Yes. It stopped a long time ago”. “But do you know why I kept it?” Ben shook his head. “Because it reminds me that time doesn’t wait for anyone. When I was young. I always thought I had plenty of time to do the things I wanted—travel, learn new skills, spend time with family. But I didn’t do anything. Then one day, I looked at this watch, and I realized something: time was passing quickly. even when I wasn’t paying attention.” His grandfather continued, “That’s when I decided to stop waiting. I started to learn to play the violin, I traveled to places I had only dreamed about, and most importantly, I made sure to spend time with the people l love.” Ben looked down at the watch. It might not work anymore, but it still had a purpose—it told a story. That night, Ben lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. He thought about the things he didn’t do—finishing his book, helping his little sister with her painting, and visiting the park with his dad. The next morning, as he got ready for school. Ben made a decision. He wouldn’t wait any longer. 24. Why did Ben’s grandfather keep the broken pocket watch? A. Because he wanted to fix it one day. B. Because it was part of the family tradition. C. Because it was very expensive and precious. D. Because it reminded him time waits for no man. 25. What did Ben’s grandfather do when he realized time was passing? A. He stopped traveling and stayed at home. B. He gave the pocket watch to Ben as a gift. C. He learned new things and spent time with family. D. He bought a new pocket watch to replace the old one. 26. What can we learn from the story? A. Family traditions should be passed down. B. We should use time wisely and not waste it. C. A watch can help people remember the past. D. Learning new things can make life more fun. C Think of the words in your head: that tasteless joke you wisely kept to yourself at dinner, your unvoiced impression of your best friend’s new hairstyle. Now imagine that someone could listen in. Recently, scientists from the University of Texas, have made another step in that direction. In a study published in Neuroscience, the team showed it was possible to read people’s thoughts with a brain scanner called fMRI and large language models (LLMs) built with GPT. The study centered on three subjects, who lay in an fMRI scanner recording their brain activity by noticing changes in blood flow in parts of their brains while they listened to online stories. By putting together this information with the LLMs’ ability to understand how words relate to one another, the researchers developed an encoded (编码的) map of how each individual’s brain responded to different words. Then, the team worked backward. They recorded the fMRI activity while the participants listened to a new story. Using a combination of the patterns encoded for each individual before and LLMs, the researchers attempted to translate this new brain activity. While many of the sentences it produced were inaccurate (不准确的), the decoder generated sentences that got the main idea of what the person was thinking. For example, when a person heard, “I don’t have my driver’s license yet,” the decoder produced, “She has not even started to learn to drive yet.” Alex Huth from the university said, “We were shocked and impressed that this worked as well as it does.” The researchers also found that the technology isn’t one-size-fits-all. Each decoder was quite personalized and worked only for the person whose brain data had helped build it. Additionally, a person had to voluntarily cooperate for the decoder to identify ideas. If a person wasn’t paying attention to an audio story, the decoder couldn’t pick that story up from brain signals. While the technology was still far from perfect, the result could finally lead to devices that help people who can’t talk or otherwise communicate easily. However, the research also raises privacy concerns about unwelcome neural overhearing. The team said the potential of the technology was such that policymakers should take action on how it can be legally used. Jerry Tang from the team said, “Nobody’s brain should be decoded without their permission. If one day it does become possible to get accurate decoding without a person’s will, we’ll have a set of rules in place.” 27. What is the study mainly about? A. The working method of a smart scanner. B. The possible effect of mind-reading GPT. C. The breakthrough in large language models. D. The advance in brain-decoding technology. 28. What can you learn from the passage? A. The researchers managed to use brain activity patterns to read the subjects’ minds. B. The decoder produced more correct sentences when the person got more attentive. C. The researchers fed the decoder data on people’s brain activities to produce signals. D. The team worked backward by recording the fMRI activity to check thinking ability. 29. What will the team most probably do next? A. Personalize the technology. B. Apply the technology across fields. C. Break limitations of the technology. D. Create proper rules to prevent misuse. D “You’ll get square eyes!” my mother used to say as I sat for hour after hour glued to the TV. I ignored her, of course. Fast-forward a few decades and now I’m the parent. My 5-year-old lives in a world where screens aren’t fixed pieces of furniture. You can’t even avoid them by going outside. Screens are not only in our pockets; they’re everywhere. The concerns have grown with the screens. In the past decade; we have heard that they will damage our mental health. Many of us feel more distracted by them, feelings guiltier and more tired as a result. The apps and websites on our phones have also sparked widespread concern. Big tech companies are also good at making use of our need for social recognition hooking us on likes, retweets and follower counts. Social media has created a culture of mass narcissism (自恋), which has led many to worry about the emotional stresses on teenagers. A quick online search brings up papers linking screen use or social media with harmful effects on mental health, including depression and suicide. Such statements are alarming. They are also widely believed, thanks to popular books like iGen by Jean Twenge, which claims that digital technology has ruined a generation. Yet, Amy Orben at the University of Oxford, who studies the impact of digital technology and social media in particular on mental health, holds different views. She claims that the underlying data can be used to tell different stories. She also spotted shortcomings in several large studies that claimed to show correlations (相关性) between the use of devices with screens and depression in users. Twenge stands by her own finding, pointing in turn to what she considers flaws in Orben’s research methods. For David Max, at Royal College of Child Health in London, the effect of screen time and social media use on mental health remains speculative. “We cannot regard social media overall as good or bad,” says David. “We don’t know whether in individual cases social media is responsible or not,” he says. The sharp increase in mobile phone use has completely changed our lives. I can download movies, write articles, communicate with my family and broadcast to the world all at the push of a button. Rather than set limits, we should take a look at our use of screens and ask how they fit with the activities and lifestyle. Every new technology with widespread impact has given rise to new fears. So the best bet may simply be to ask yourself what level of screen use makes you and those around you happy and try to stick to it. If you find yourself overly addictive, don’t panic—and certainly don’t feel guilty. Nobody knows anything worth getting scared about. 30. According to the passage, people give likes, retweet or count followers to ________. A. show respect for others B. seek social recognition C. share one’s lifestyle D. relieve emotional stresses 31. What can be learned from the passage? A. Teenagers are more affected by screen use both physically and mentally. B. Big tech companies help to produce many research papers on mental health. C. Orben claims it is far too early to blame screen use for ruining a generation. D. Twenge mainly introduces the overall benefits of digital technology in her books. 32. The underlined word “speculative” probably means “ ________”. A. noticeable B. important C. specific D. doubtful 33. The passage is written to ________. A. relieve people’s worries about the use of screens B. encourage readers to reduce the time of screen use C. share different opinions on the effects of screen use D. explain why screen use may have negative effects on people 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达 (第34-36每题2分，第37题4分，共10分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The Paradox (矛盾) of Choices A little café “The Sip and Smile”, known for its simple atmosphere. had been a gathering place in a small town for years. The café offered a menu with three coffee choices: black, cappuccino, and latte. People came, ordered their favorites, and enjoyed conversations that went long after the coffee cups were empty. One day the cafe decided to broaden its menu. In an effort to attract more customers, it introduced 50 kinds of coffee, from espresso to flavored frappes. However, a strange thing started happening. As the menu grew, the once-busy cafe began losing its charm. People would walk in, look at the endless list of choices. and hesitate, unable to decide. The pleasant conversation that used to fill the air turned into voices of uncertainty: “Should I try mocha today? Or maybe macchiato? Wait, maybe..?” What had once been a simple, joyous act of ordering coffee now felt like a burden. Customers spent more time choosing than enjoying. The town folk, who once loved the café for its simple choices were now confused by too many choices. Psychologist Barry Schwartz introduced the idea of the “paradox of choice,” which suggests that while having some choices is good, having too many can lead to anxiety, indecision, and dissatisfaction. This. paradox appears because we start to worry that we’ll make the wrong decision. or miss out on better choices as choices increase. After months of decreasing business, the cafe learned its lesson. The café owner decided to return to a simpler menu. Now, customers had a select few choices, each made with are. Conversations returned, the laughter came back, and the café once again became a place where choices felt easy and joyful. In life, the best decision often has nothing to do with the number of choices—it’s the one that brings us peace. Just like the customers of the café, we too can find comfort in simple choices. 34. What was the little café “The Sip and Smile” known for? _____________________________________ 35. How did the café try to attract more customers? _____________________________________ 36. Why does the paradox of choices appear? _____________________________________ 37. Do you prefer more choices or fewer choices when making a decision? Why?
