C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了“泰坦尼克号：沉浸式航行”这一体验活动，包括体验方式、活动信息、票价等内容，吸引游客前来感受泰坦尼克号的故事。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“With the help of cutting-edge technology, you will be guided to walk through the luxurious passages, come face to face with the iceberg and experience the dramatic final moments of the legendary ship in an unforgettable journey.(在尖端技术的帮助下，您将被引导着走过豪华的通道，直面冰山，并在一段难忘的旅程中体验这艘传奇船只戏剧性的最后时刻)”以及第三段“Putting on a headset, you’re in a metaverse (虚拟世界).(戴上耳机，你就置身于虚拟世界)”可知，游客将通过运用现代技术来体验泰坦尼克号的故事。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Prices”部分，30多岁的夫妇属于成人（Adult(13 +)），购买VIP票每人26.90欧元；2岁孩子免费；7岁孩子属于儿童（Child(4-12)），购买VIP票为22.90欧元。由此可知，总共花费为26.90×2+22.90 = 76.7欧元。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。文章介绍了“泰坦尼克号：沉浸式航行”这一旅游体验项目，包括活动内容、时间、地点、票价等信息，最后还提示“For more information, check it out here.(如需更多信息，请点击此处查看 )”。由此推知，这篇文章很可能来自一个旅游网站。故选C项。 B Dr. Punam Krishan is a general practitioner — a GP — one of the doctors who stand on the front line of medicine. GPs treat everyday illnesses, listen carefully to patients’ concerns, and decide when special medical care is needed. Beyond her work in clinics, Dr. Krishan is also a familiar face on television and the author of several books, including How to Be a Doctor and Other Life-Saving Jobs, You and Your Body, and her latest release, The Superhero’s First Aid Manual. Her journey into medicine began with caring for others. “It started off with me wanting to help people understand themselves better,” she once explained. She often noticed when someone looked unwell and felt driven to ask why. That quiet curiosity led her deeper into science, even when it was challenging, and eventually toward a life dedicated to healing others. To Dr. Krishan, being a GP is “one of the most incredible jobs in the world”. Every day, she meets people from different backgrounds and at different stages of life. With only ten minutes per patient, she must listen closely, read between the lines, and uncover the truth behind their symptoms, “It makes me feel a bit like a detective,” she said. Patients may arrive with one problem or many, and finding the right answer brings a sense of excitement that never fades. She describes her role as being “a bit of a best friend to people”. Her newest book was shaped by a deeply personal loss. When she was a child, her grandfather died, and for years she worried she had missed signs that he was unwell. That experience stayed with her and formed a powerful belief: recognizing illness can be a life-saving skill, even for children. Through her book, she teaches young readers to recognize emergencies such as allergic reactions or heart attacks, and to take simple but vital steps — staying calm, calling 999, or placing someone in the recovery position. For Dr. Krishan, heroism begins with care, courage, and knowledge. “Children should know the basics of how to be a superhero in that moment,” she added. 4. What can we learn about Dr. Krishan from the first paragraph? A. She takes on multiple roles. B. She excels in detailed work. C. She takes pleasure in reading. D. She aims for public recognition. 5. Why did Dr. Krishan dive into science? A. To tackle the scientific challenges. B. To make up for her childhood regret. C. To observe the lives of patients better. D. To find explanations for what she observed. 6. How does Dr. Krishan find her work as a GP? A. Fast-paced but fulfilling. B. Stressful but stable. C. Challenging but well-paid. D. Exhausting but promising. 7. What does Dr. Krishan’s experience indicate according to the last paragraph? A. Better late than never. B. Fix the roof before it rains. C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. Opportunity favors the prepared mind. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了全科医生普纳姆·克里尚博士的职业生涯、个人信念以及她通过新书传递急救知识的使命。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Beyond her work in clinics, Dr. Krishan is also a familiar face on television and the author of several books, (除了在诊所工作外，克里尚博士也是电视上的熟面孔，她还写了几本书)”可知，克里尚博士不仅是一名全科医生，还在电视上露面，并且是几本书的作者，由此可知，她扮演着多个角色。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“She often noticed when someone looked unwell and felt driven to ask why. That quiet curiosity led her deeper into science, (她经常注意到有人看起来不舒服，就会忍不住问为什么。这种安静的好奇心驱使她更深入地研究科学)”可知，克里尚博士对观察到的事物感到好奇，想要找到解释，因此她深入研究了科学。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“With only ten minutes per patient, she must listen closely, read between the lines, and uncover the truth behind their symptoms, (每位病人只有十分钟的时间，她必须仔细倾听，从字里行间理解，并揭示他们症状背后的真相)”以及“Patients may arrive with one problem or many, and finding the right answer brings a sense of excitement that never fades. (病人可能带着一个问题或多个问题来，找到正确的答案会带来一种永远不会消退的兴奋感)”可知，克里尚博士的工作节奏很快，但她觉得很有成就感。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When she was a child, her grandfather died, and for years she worried she had missed signs that he was unwell. That experience stayed with her and formed a powerful belief: recognizing illness can be a life-saving skill, even for children.(当她还是个孩子的时候，她的祖父去世了，多年来她一直担心自己错过了祖父身体不适的迹象。这段经历一直伴随着她，并形成了一个坚定的信念：识别疾病可以成为一种拯救生命的技能，即使对儿童来说也是如此)”可知，克里尚博士小时候的经历让她意识到识别疾病的重要性，因此她通过写书来教育年轻读者识别紧急情况并采取简单的急救措施，这体现了“未雨绸缪”的理念。故选B。 C If you could time travel, would you visit the past or the future? You could find your ancestors, descendants, or experience life when dinosaurs wandered in your back garden. It sounds unrealistic, but scientists have looked into whether time travel is actually possible. Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity changed understanding of space, time, mass and gravity. The key element of this theory is that time and space are linked together, and time doesn’t flow at a constant rate, meaning it speeds up or slows down, depending on where you are. For example, when you travel at high speeds, time decreases, which means, according to NASA, astronauts in space moving at high speeds age more slowly than those on Earth! So, if you wanted to travel to the future, you would need to move close to the speed of light. Then, while centuries pass on Earth, you’d experience a relatively short amount of time and could hypothetically (假设地) return home, where it would be the future! Travelling backwards in time seems much more difficult. Theoretically, one way of going back is via a wormhole. That means, if space and time can be folded like paper, we could create a tunnel — a shortcut between points in time. The problem is that there is no evidence that wormholes exist. “It’s been shown mathematically that they can exist, but whether they exist physically is something else,” says Emma Osborne, an astrophysicist at the University of York. Also, theories show that wormholes would be so small that a person definitely couldn’t fit through one, and they would have such an intense gravitational field that they would collapse very quickly. For now, it seems we’ll have to be content with science fiction and using telescopes to look back in time rather than travelling through it. 8. Why does the writer mention Einstein’s theory of relativity? A. To explain how time travel might work. B. To stress the importance of time travel. C. To describe Einstein’s contributions to science. D. To encourage us to work out the theory. 9. Why do astronauts age more slowly than those on earth? A. Time flows at the same speed across the universe. B. Moving faster slows the passage of time. C. Speed and space are closely connected. D. The speed of light prevents their aging. 10. Why does travelling backwards in time seem much more difficult? A. Wormholes move faster than the speed of light. B. Scientists have not studied time travel to the past. C. Wormholes lack scientific evidence of existence. D. The speed of light only allows forward movement in time. 11. What is the author’s attitude regarding the possibility of time travel? A. Objective. B. Subjective. C. Indifferent. D. Positive. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是基于爱因斯坦相对论的时间旅行理论，探讨了前往未来及回到过去的可能性与科学挑战。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity changed understanding of space, time, mass and gravity. The key element of this theory is that time and space are linked together, and time doesn’t flow at a constant rate, meaning it speeds up or slows down, depending on where you are.(阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦的相对论改变了人们对空间、时间、质量和引力的理解。这一理论的关键要素是时间和空间是联系在一起的，时间的流逝并不是恒定的，这意味着它会根据你所在的位置而加快或减慢。)”可知，通过介绍相对论来解释时间与空间的联系以及时间流逝的变化，从而探讨时间旅行的可能性。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For example, when you travel at high speeds, time decreases, which means, according to NASA, astronauts in space moving at high speeds age more slowly than those on Earth!(例如，当你以高速度旅行时，时间会减慢，这意味着根据NASA的说法，以高速度在太空中移动的宇航员比在地球上的人员衰老得更慢！)”可知，根据NASA的说法，高速度旅行时，时间会减慢，由此可知，移动得更快会减缓时间的流逝。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Theoretically, one way of going back is via a wormhole. That means, if space and time can be folded like paper, we could create a tunnel — a shortcut between points in time.(理论上，回到过去的一种方式是通过虫洞。这意味着，如果空间和时间能够像纸一样折叠，我们就可以创建一个隧道——即时间点之间的捷径。)”以及“Also, theories show that wormholes would be so small that a person definitely couldn’t fit through one, and they would have such an intense gravitational field that they would collapse very quickly.(此外，理论表明虫洞会非常小，以至于人绝对无法通过。而且，它们会有如此强烈的引力场，以至于会很快崩塌。)”可知，理论上可以通过虫洞回到过去，但目前没有证据表明虫洞确实存在，并且即使存在，它们也会非常小且不稳定。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其首段中的“It sounds unrealistic, but scientists have looked into whether time travel is actually possible.(这听起来不现实，但科学家们已经研究了时间旅行是否真的可能。)”以及尾段中的“For now, it seems we’ll have to be content with science fiction and using telescopes to look back in time rather than travelling through it.(目前看来，我们可能不得不满足于科幻小说和使用望远镜回望过去，而不是真正穿越时间。)”可知，作者客观地介绍了时间旅行的理论基础，如相对论和虫洞理论，同时也指出了当前技术限制和科学挑战，由此可知，关于时间旅行的可能性，作者的态度是客观的。故选A项。 D People have become used to living with AI quickly, but AI has raised serious worries about jobs. For if machines outperform people in reading complex legal texts, translating languages or making arguments, won’t those traditional human workers become irrelevant? Yet in reality, this is not the case. Unemployment in the EU is at a historic low of about 6%, half that of a decade ago. In the UK, it’s even lower at 5.1% — the level of the prosperous early 2000s — and in the US, it’s lower, still at 4.4%. It’s happened before. For example, after the first ATM in the world was launched by Barclays in London in 1967, there were fears that staff at high street bank branches would become obsolete. The opposite turned out to be the case. In the US, over the 30-year period of ATM growth, the number of bank tellers actually increased by 10%. ATMs made it cheaper to open bank branches and more communities gained access to financial services. AI will take away some jobs. But just as there has been no immediate AI prosperity when it comes to economic growth, there is no immediate shift in employment. And in 2016, Geoff Hinton, a major figure in the development of AI, recommended that the world “should stop training radiologists (放射科医生)” because robots were getting better than humans at analyzing images. Ten years later, demand for radiologists in the US is at a record high. AI-driven image analysis has improved the role of radiologists, by allowing them to treat a far greater number of patients. On the other hand, many believed universal access to AI assistants with info-processing and communication skills would narrow earning inequality. But recent studies found the opposite: highly skilled professionals benefit most from AI support. In my research with teammates, we found that giving chess players top-quality advice does little to close the gap between the best and the worst because lower ability players were less likely to follow high-quality advice. Perhaps this is AI’s greatest risk: some benefit far more from it than others. 12. What do the statistics in paragraph 1 indicate? A. AI replaces many human traditional jobs. B. Unemployment rates are falling globally. C. Economic growth can rely on AI heavily. D. Technology may generate new positions. 13. What does the underlined word “obsolete” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Perfect. B. Insecure. C. Unnecessary. D. Unwilling. 14. What can we learn about AI’s impact on radiologists? A. AI has replaced radiologists in medical imaging. B. The demand for radiologists has decreased greatly. C. AI helps radiologists treat more patients efficiently. D. Radiologists have lost their professional skills due to AI. 15. What’s the author’s attitude to the view that AI increases workers’ income inequality? A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Uncertain. D. Approving. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。人们担忧 AI 会导致失业，但当前欧美失业率却处于历史低位。历史与现实表明，AI 未造成大量失业，反而提升部分职业需求。不过，AI 可能加剧收入不平等，这是其最大风险。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Unemployment in the EU is at a historic low of about 6%, half that of a decade ago. In the UK, it’s even lower at 5.1% — the level of the prosperous early 2000s — and in the US, it’s lower, still at 4.4%.(欧盟的失业率处于历史最低点，约为6%，仅为十年前的一半。在英国，失业率更低，为5.1%——这与21世纪初经济繁荣时期的情况相当；而在美国，失业率也更低，仍为4.4%)”可知，第一段中的数据表明技术可能会创造新的工作岗位。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“For example, after the first ATM in the world was launched by Barclays in London in 1967, there were fears that staff at high street bank branches would become obsolete. (例如，1967年巴克莱银行在伦敦推出了全球第一台自动取款机之后，人们就担心商业银行的营业网点工作人员会变得obsolete.)”可知，人们担心ATM出现后，银行职员会变得多余、不再必要了。故划线词意思是“不必要的”。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“AI-driven image analysis has improved the role of radiologists, by allowing them to treat a far greater number of patients.(基于人工智能的图像分析技术提升了放射科医生的工作效率，使他们能够为更多的患者进行诊疗)”可知，人工智能能帮助放射科医生更高效地诊治更多患者。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But recent studies found the opposite: highly skilled professionals benefit most from AI support.(但最近的研究却发现情况恰恰相反：高技能专业人员从人工智能的支持中受益最多)”可知，作者认同研究结论：AI 确实扩大了收入差距，对这一观点持赞同态度。故选D。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Unexpected Key to Boosting Our Productivity Sometimes we may wonder if we were a machine, we’d never let things fall through the cracks, and we wouldn’t forget things. ___16___ It gets in the way of our productivity because it makes us blind to the roots of our actual problems. So what is underneath our productivity problems? ___17___ Our productivity depends on our feelings, not new tools. Understanding how our feelings affect us can open up freedom to make progress and finally improve our productivity. So how? ___18___ That means recognizing and working with our emotions. But usually no matter what the issue is, we easily ignore it and hope that it goes away rather than to admit something is wrong. What we forget is that our emotions have great impacts on our actions. The most productive people need to have regular practices to maintain that awareness. Once we are aware of the problem, the next step is observing. Though difficult, observing without judgment counts most. For example, when our inbox (收件箱) is messy, we just see it with little judgment. ___19___ Avoid feeling anxious, as it prevents us from addressing the root issue. Finally, try to address our emotions. It is the most effective way to help us be productive daily. A one-touch email strategy or checking the email twice a day may do a bit, but none of these really solve the problem completely. Actually we are able to use our own desire that we can’t let people down to help us get through our inbox. ___20___ A. ignore our emotions. B. Awareness is the first step. C. Identify what causes the mess. D. We are not machines but emotional beings. E. But the idea of being a machine is actually a trap. F. One day, we’ll find that we’ve finished handling all in it. G. Sometimes, working like a machine is effective and useful. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. B 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出“把自己当机器能提升效率”是误区，效率问题根源在于忽视情绪，提出通过“察觉情绪、客观观察、处理情绪”三步，借助情绪助力日常效率提升。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Sometimes we may wonder if we were a machine, we’d never let things fall through the cracks, and we wouldn’t forget things.(有时我们会想，如果我们是机器的话，就不会让任何事情遗漏掉，也不会忘记任何事情)”以及后文“It gets in the way of our productivity because it makes us blind to the roots of our actual problems.(这会妨碍我们的工作效率，因为它使我们无法看清实际问题的根源)”可知，前文提出“若我们是机器，就不会遗漏、忘记事情”的想法，后文转折指出“这会阻碍效率，让我们忽视实际问题根源”。本句承接前文“机器”的假设，同时引出后文的负面效果，故E选项“但把自己当成机器的想法实际上是一个陷阱”符合语境，故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“So what is underneath our productivity problems?(那么，造成我们生产力低下的根本原因是什么呢？)”以及后文“Our productivity depends on our feelings, not new tools. Understanding how our feelings affect us can open up freedom to make progress and finally improve our productivity. So how?(我们的工作效率取决于我们的感受，而非新的工具。了解我们的感受如何影响我们，能够让我们获得自由，从而推动进步并最终提高我们的工作效率。那么，这是怎么回事呢？)”可知，问题询问生产力问题的根源，后文强调情感而非工具的作用。故D选项“我们并非机器，而是充满情感的生命体”点明核心原因，符合语境，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据后文“That means recognizing and working with our emotions. But usually no matter what the issue is, we easily ignore it and hope that it goes away rather than to admit something is wrong. What we forget is that our emotions have great impacts on our actions. The most productive people need to have regular practices to maintain that awareness.(这意味着要正视并处理我们的情绪。但通常情况下，无论问题是什么，我们都会轻易地忽视它，希望它自行消失，而不是承认存在问题。我们所忽略的是，我们的情绪会对我们的行为产生重大影响。最高效的人需要有规律地进行练习来保持这种意识)”可知，后文提到“这意味着识别并处理情绪”“高效的人需要定期练习以保持这种意识”，“this”指代前文的“第一步”。本句作为段落主旨，引出“识别情绪” 的具体做法，符合“如何通过情绪提升效率”的行文逻辑。故B选项“意识是第一步”符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Once we are aware of the problem, the next step is observing. Though difficult, observing without judgment counts most. For example, when our inbox (收件箱) is messy, we just see it with little judgment.(一旦我们意识到问题所在，接下来的步骤就是观察。尽管这很困难，但不带评判地进行观察最为重要。例如，当我们的收件箱杂乱无章时，我们只是几乎不加评判地观察它)”以及后文“Avoid feeling anxious, as it prevents us from addressing the root issue.(避免产生焦虑情绪，因为这种情绪会妨碍我们解决根本问题)”可知，前文举例“收件箱混乱时，不带评判地观察”，后文强调“避免焦虑，以免忽视根源”。本句承接“观察混乱”的动作，指向“解决根源”的下一步，与“不焦虑、抓根源”的建议呼应，故C选项“找出造成混乱的原因”符合语境，故选C。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Finally, try to address our emotions. It is the most effective way to help us be productive daily. A one-touch email strategy or checking the email twice a day may do a bit, but none of these really solve the problem completely. Actually we are able to use our own desire that we can’t let people down to help us get through our inbox.(最后，试着去处理我们的情绪。这是帮助我们每天保持高效工作的最有效方法。一键式邮件策略或每天查看两次邮件可能会有一点效果，但这些都不能完全解决问题。实际上，我们可以通过自己不想让他人失望的这种内在动力来帮助自己处理好收件箱里的邮件)”可知，前文提到“利用‘不想让别人失望’的意愿来处理收件箱”，本句是对这一方法效果的正面预期，承接前文 “解决情绪问题以提升效率” 的核心，故F选项“有一天，我们会发现我们已经处理完了其中的一切”符合语境，故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) Jonathan Jones, 12, was overcome with emotion after his principal, who is also color blind, let him ____21____ his unique glasses during science class last week.

He sped in his boat toward the scene, where he saw a girl was drowning. Without thinking, he grabbed the girl’s arms and then pulled her through the water to the back of the boat, which was more shallow. There, he was able to lift her up and onto the deck. As he looked at the unconscious teenager lying on the deck of his boat, he saw her face, her lips, even her ears were blue. But Bell’s recent CPR training kicked in. Just six months earlier, he had taken a first-aid course as required for his job as a truck driver. After Bell kept pressing, she took a deep breath and opened her eyes. She was alive. Once they reached the shore, he continued rushing her to the hospital. She was released later that day. It didn’t take long for the media to brand Bell a hero. He was uncomfortable with the praise. As he explained to his wife, he once made a lot of mistakes in his life, so the idea of being labeled a hero felt awkward to Bell. But he was happy to get back to work driving for a gas station. Six weeks after the rescue, as he was driving west of Fort Worth, he soon spotted smoke. He slowed down to see a car that had apparently hit a telephone pole and was upside down. It was on fire. He grabbed a fire extinguisher (灭火器) from inside his truck and hurried down to the burning car. Although he sprayed until the extinguisher was empty, the car kept burning. So he used the metal extinguisher to break the driver’s side window. 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。 When he reached into the car, he found the driver was still stuck in by his seat belt. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, the media poured into Bell’s house. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 When he reached into the car, he found the driver was still stuck in by his seat belt. Without hesitation, he struggled with all his might to free the trapped driver, though his hands got burned by the intense heat from the fire. After what seemed like an eternity, he managed to cut the seat belt and pull the driver out just as the car was engulfed in flames. The driver, though in shock, was alive, thanks to Bell’s quick actions and bravery. Then the driver was driven to the hospital, and later he expressed his sincere gratitude to Jacob Bell for saving his life. Soon, the media poured into Bell’s house. They wanted to know more about the man who had once again shown incredible courage and selflessness. Bell, still uncomfortable with the hero label, shared his story modestly. He emphasized that he was just doing what anyone would do in such situations. His wife, proud and supportive, stood by his side, knowing that her husband’s actions were not out of the ordinary for him, but still extraordinary in the eyes of the world. Bell’s story continued to inspire, proving that true heroes are those who act without hesitation to help others, regardless of the risks involved. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Jacob Bell两次英勇救人的事迹，他不顾个人安危，先后救起了一名溺水女孩和一名车祸中被困的司机，展现了其勇敢无私的品质。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当他把手伸进车里时，发现司机还被安全带卡住了”可知，第一段可描写Jacob Bell如何努力救出被困司机，以及司机获救后的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“很快，媒体涌进了贝尔的家”可知，第二段可描写媒体对Jacob Bell的采访，以及他对“英雄”这一称号的看法。 2. 续写线索：发现司机被困——努力救出司机——司机获救并感激——媒体涌入家中——接受采访——表达对“英雄”称号的看法——故事继续激励人们 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①表达：express/convey ②强调：emphasize/stress ③激励：inspire/motivate 情绪类： ①震惊：shock/astonishment ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】 After what seemed like an eternity, he managed to cut the seat belt and pull the driver out just as the car was engulfed in flames.

GPs treat everyday illnesses, listen carefully to patients’ concerns, and decide when special medical care is needed. Beyond her work in clinics, Dr. Krishan is also a familiar face on television and the author of several books, including How to Be a Doctor and Other Life-Saving Jobs, You and Your Body, and her latest release, The Superhero’s First Aid Manual. Her journey into medicine began with caring for others. “It started off with me wanting to help people understand themselves better,” she once explained. She often noticed when someone looked unwell and felt driven to ask why. That quiet curiosity led her deeper into science, even when it was challenging, and eventually toward a life dedicated to healing others. To Dr. Krishan, being a GP is “one of the most incredible jobs in the world”. Every day, she meets people from different backgrounds and at different stages of life. With only ten minutes per patient, she must listen closely, read between the lines, and uncover the truth behind their symptoms, “It makes me feel a bit like a detective,” she said. Patients may arrive with one problem or many, and finding the right answer brings a sense of excitement that never fades. She describes her role as being “a bit of a best friend to people”. Her newest book was shaped by a deeply personal loss. When she was a child, her grandfather died, and for years she worried she had missed signs that he was unwell. That experience stayed with her and formed a powerful belief: recognizing illness can be a life-saving skill, even for children. Through her book, she teaches young readers to recognize emergencies such as allergic reactions or heart attacks, and to take simple but vital steps — staying calm, calling 999, or placing someone in the recovery position. For Dr. Krishan, heroism begins with care, courage, and knowledge. “Children should know the basics of how to be a superhero in that moment,” she added. 4. What can we learn about Dr. Krishan from the first paragraph? A. She takes on multiple roles. B. She excels in detailed work. C. She takes pleasure in reading. D. She aims for public recognition. 5. Why did Dr. Krishan dive into science? A. To tackle the scientific challenges. B. To make up for her childhood regret. C. To observe the lives of patients better. D. To find explanations for what she observed. 6. How does Dr. Krishan find her work as a GP? A. Fast-paced but fulfilling. B. Stressful but stable. C. Challenging but well-paid. D. Exhausting but promising. 7. What does Dr. Krishan’s experience indicate according to the last paragraph? A. Better late than never. B. Fix the roof before it rains. C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. Opportunity favors the prepared mind. C If you could time travel, would you visit the past or the future? You could find your ancestors, descendants, or experience life when dinosaurs wandered in your back garden. It sounds unrealistic, but scientists have looked into whether time travel is actually possible. Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity changed understanding of space, time, mass and gravity. The key element of this theory is that time and space are linked together, and time doesn’t flow at a constant rate, meaning it speeds up or slows down, depending on where you are. For example, when you travel at high speeds, time decreases, which means, according to NASA, astronauts in space moving at high speeds age more slowly than those on Earth! So, if you wanted to travel to the future, you would need to move close to the speed of light. Then, while centuries pass on Earth, you’d experience a relatively short amount of time and could hypothetically (假设地) return home, where it would be the future! Travelling backwards in time seems much more difficult. Theoretically, one way of going back is via a wormhole. That means, if space and time can be folded like paper, we could create a tunnel — a shortcut between points in time. The problem is that there is no evidence that wormholes exist. “It’s been shown mathematically that they can exist, but whether they exist physically is something else,” says Emma Osborne, an astrophysicist at the University of York. Also, theories show that wormholes would be so small that a person definitely couldn’t fit through one, and they would have such an intense gravitational field that they would collapse very quickly. For now, it seems we’ll have to be content with science fiction and using telescopes to look back in time rather than travelling through it. 8. Why does the writer mention Einstein’s theory of relativity? A. To explain how time travel might work. B. To stress the importance of time travel. C. To describe Einstein’s contributions to science. D. To encourage us to work out the theory. 9. Why do astronauts age more slowly than those on earth? A. Time flows at the same speed across the universe. B. Moving faster slows the passage of time. C. Speed and space are closely connected. D. The speed of light prevents their aging. 10. Why does travelling backwards in time seem much more difficult? A. Wormholes move faster than the speed of light. B. Scientists have not studied time travel to the past. C. Wormholes lack scientific evidence of existence. D. The speed of light only allows forward movement in time. 11. What is the author’s attitude regarding the possibility of time travel? A. Objective. B. Subjective. C. Indifferent. D. Positive. D People have become used to living with AI quickly, but AI has raised serious worries about jobs. For if machines outperform people in reading complex legal texts, translating languages or making arguments, won’t those traditional human workers become irrelevant? Yet in reality, this is not the case. Unemployment in the EU is at a historic low of about 6%, half that of a decade ago. In the UK, it’s even lower at 5.1% — the level of the prosperous early 2000s — and in the US, it’s lower, still at 4.4%. It’s happened before. For example, after the first ATM in the world was launched by Barclays in London in 1967, there were fears that staff at high street bank branches would become obsolete. The opposite turned out to be the case. In the US, over the 30-year period of ATM growth, the number of bank tellers actually increased by 10%. ATMs made it cheaper to open bank branches and more communities gained access to financial services. AI will take away some jobs. But just as there has been no immediate AI prosperity when it comes to economic growth, there is no immediate shift in employment. And in 2016, Geoff Hinton, a major figure in the development of AI, recommended that the world “should stop training radiologists (放射科医生)” because robots were getting better than humans at analyzing images. Ten years later, demand for radiologists in the US is at a record high. AI-driven image analysis has improved the role of radiologists, by allowing them to treat a far greater number of patients. On the other hand, many believed universal access to AI assistants with info-processing and communication skills would narrow earning inequality. But recent studies found the opposite: highly skilled professionals benefit most from AI support. In my research with teammates, we found that giving chess players top-quality advice does little to close the gap between the best and the worst because lower ability players were less likely to follow high-quality advice. Perhaps this is AI’s greatest risk: some benefit far more from it than others. 12. What do the statistics in paragraph 1 indicate? A. AI replaces many human traditional jobs. B. Unemployment rates are falling globally. C. Economic growth can rely on AI heavily. D. Technology may generate new positions. 13. What does the underlined word “obsolete” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Perfect. B. Insecure. C. Unnecessary. D. Unwilling. 14. What can we learn about AI’s impact on radiologists? A. AI has replaced radiologists in medical imaging. B. The demand for radiologists has decreased greatly. C. AI helps radiologists treat more patients efficiently. D. Radiologists have lost their professional skills due to AI. 15. What’s the author’s attitude to the view that AI increases workers’ income inequality? A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Uncertain. D. Approving. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Unexpected Key to Boosting Our Productivity Sometimes we may wonder if we were a machine, we’d never let things fall through the cracks, and we wouldn’t forget things. ___16___ It gets in the way of our productivity because it makes us blind to the roots of our actual problems. So what is underneath our productivity problems? ___17___ Our productivity depends on our feelings, not new tools. Understanding how our feelings affect us can open up freedom to make progress and finally improve our productivity. So how? ___18___ That means recognizing and working with our emotions. But usually no matter what the issue is, we easily ignore it and hope that it goes away rather than to admit something is wrong. What we forget is that our emotions have great impacts on our actions. The most productive people need to have regular practices to maintain that awareness. Once we are aware of the problem, the next step is observing. Though difficult, observing without judgment counts most. For example, when our inbox (收件箱) is messy, we just see it with little judgment. ___19___ Avoid feeling anxious, as it prevents us from addressing the root issue. Finally, try to address our emotions. It is the most effective way to help us be productive daily. A one-touch email strategy or checking the email twice a day may do a bit, but none of these really solve the problem completely. Actually we are able to use our own desire that we can’t let people down to help us get through our inbox. ___20___ A. ignore our emotions. B. Awareness is the first step. C. Identify what causes the mess. D. We are not machines but emotional beings. E. But the idea of being a machine is actually a trap. F. One day, we’ll find that we’ve finished handling all in it. G. Sometimes, working like a machine is effective and useful. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) Jonathan Jones, 12, was overcome with emotion after his principal, who is also color blind, let him ____21____ his unique glasses during science class last week.

He sped in his boat toward the scene, where he saw a girl was drowning. Without thinking, he grabbed the girl’s arms and then pulled her through the water to the back of the boat, which was more shallow. There, he was able to lift her up and onto the deck. As he looked at the unconscious teenager lying on the deck of his boat, he saw her face, her lips, even her ears were blue. But Bell’s recent CPR training kicked in. Just six months earlier, he had taken a first-aid course as required for his job as a truck driver. After Bell kept pressing, she took a deep breath and opened her eyes. She was alive. Once they reached the shore, he continued rushing her to the hospital. She was released later that day. It didn’t take long for the media to brand Bell a hero. He was uncomfortable with the praise. As he explained to his wife, he once made a lot of mistakes in his life, so the idea of being labeled a hero felt awkward to Bell. But he was happy to get back to work driving for a gas station. Six weeks after the rescue, as he was driving west of Fort Worth, he soon spotted smoke. He slowed down to see a car that had apparently hit a telephone pole and was upside down. It was on fire. He grabbed a fire extinguisher (灭火器) from inside his truck and hurried down to the burning car. Although he sprayed until the extinguisher was empty, the car kept burning. So he used the metal extinguisher to break the driver’s side window. 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。 When he reached into the car, he found the driver was still stuck in by his seat belt. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, the media poured into Bell’s house. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
