After finishing sixth in a South African race, he traveled to China to compete in a 155-mile race across the Gobi Desert. On the first day, he noticed a small stray (流浪的) dog wandering around the campsite, where amused competitors fed her with their own limited supplies. On day two, Dion and the dog took some time to warm up to each other,and she even tried to chew his running equipment. Dion soon named her Gobi. Besides having completed a race requiring remarkable physical strength together, they also overcame emotionally trying circumstances when tasked with saving a severely worn-out competitor,ultimately costing them first place in the race. Through thick and thin, Dion and Gobi survived together and had no intentions of parting ways at the finish line. Determined to adopt Gobi and take her back to his home in Scotland, Dion launched a crowdfunding campaign that proved wildly successful. He later donated all extra funds to stray dog rescue organizations. However, disaster struck: Gobi went missing in Urumqi while awaiting an official approval to leave China. Despite the language barrier and the city’s 3 million population, Dion immediately flew back to search for her. By then, their heartwarming story had gained international media coverage, inspiring hundreds of Chinese volunteers to join in his search. Thankfully, Gobi was found. The reunion did more than bring them back together; it helped people of different cultures grow closer together as well. The pair now live happily in Tucson. Dion has written and published books documenting his and Gobi’s story — the children’s book tells a visual story through Gobi’s eyes while the adult book (a New York Times bestseller called Finding Gobi) addresses themes such as Dion’s upbringing that drove him not to leave Gobi behind. The different angles educate about everything from the value of exercise to animal welfare to overcoming obstacles. 24. What can be inferred from the first paragraph? A. Dion quickly formed a bond with Gobi. B. The organizers provided limited supplies. C. Gobi amused runners by chewing equipment. D. Dogs were encouraged to accompany runners. 25. Why did Dion launch a crowdfunding campaign? A. To finance his search for Gobi. B. To help rescue other stray dogs. C. To cover the cost of bringing Gobi back home. D. To obtain an approval for Gobi to leave China. 26. Which of the following best describes Dion’s books? A. Critical and cross-cultural. B. Motivational and time-honored. C. Innovative and fantasy-rooted. D. Heartfelt and multi-dimensional. 27. What is the main idea of the text? A. Animal protection is always on the way. B. A friendship can go beyond boundaries. C. Traveling a thousand miles makes a man. D. Differences can be bridged with joint efforts. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了马拉松选手迪翁·伦纳德在中国戈壁沙漠比赛中偶遇并收养流浪狗戈壁的感人故事，以及他们之间超越物种和文化的深厚友谊。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“On day two, Dion and the dog took some time to warm up to each other,and she even tried to chew his running equipment. Dion soon named her Gobi.(第二天，迪翁和这只狗花了一些时间来熟悉彼此，她甚至试图咀嚼他的跑步装备。迪翁很快给她取名为戈壁)”可知，迪翁很快就和戈壁建立了感情联系。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Determined to adopt Gobi and take her back to his home in Scotland, Dion launched a crowdfunding campaign that proved wildly successful.(迪翁决心收养戈壁，并把她带回他在苏格兰的家，他发起了一场众筹活动，取得了巨大的成功)”可知，迪翁发起众筹活动是为了支付带戈壁回家的费用。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Dion has written and published books documenting his and Gobi’s story — the children’s book tells a visual story through Gobi’s eyes while the adult book (a New York Times bestseller called Finding Gobi) addresses themes such as Dion’s upbringing that drove him not to leave Gobi behind. The different angles educate about everything from the value of exercise to animal welfare to overcoming obstacles.(迪翁撰写并出版了记录他和戈壁的故事的书籍——儿童读物通过戈壁的眼睛讲述了一个视觉故事，而成人读物（纽约时报畅销书《寻找戈壁》）则涉及了迪翁的成长经历等主题，这些主题驱使他不会抛弃戈壁。不同的角度涵盖了从锻炼的价值到动物福利再到克服障碍等方方面面)”可推知，迪翁的书是发自内心且多维度的。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合最后一段中“The different angles educate about everything from the value of exercise to animal welfare to overcoming obstacles.(不同的角度涵盖了从锻炼的价值到动物福利再到克服障碍等方方面面)”可知，文章讲述了迪翁和戈壁在极端环境中结下的友谊，迪翁不惜一切代价寻找走失的戈壁，以及他们的故事如何感动了不同文化背景的人们。他们的友谊跨越了物种和国界，因此B选项“A friendship can go beyond boundaries.(友谊可以超越界限)”最符合文章主旨。故选B。 C Inspiration for Zeynep Demirbas’ research struck during a chat with a friend. That friend, a psychologist, said some health insurance companies were pushing the use of artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, for mental health. The idea: AI might be less costly and easier to access than human therapists (治疗专家). That worried Zeynep, 14. She knew that ChatGPT often gave wrong answers or agreed with incorrect statements. Could this type of AI, known as a large language model — or LLM — really be trusted with our mental health? To find out, she tested whether several LLMs could detect stress in human text. She gave the models a dataset of more than 3,500 posts. Human raters had been asked to label each one as containing stress or not. Then Zeynep asked the models to identify which posts showed stress. To judge how well the models did, Zeynep calculated something called an F1-score for each one. This score considers how many stress-containing posts the models accurately spotted. It also accounts for how often the models missed cases of stress and how often they mislabeled posts as showing stress. An LLM specifically designed for mental health did the best. It scored about 82 percent. ChatGPT scored only about 74 percent. ChatGPT performing badly was “really surprising”, Zeynep says. It did even worse than the “random-forest” model, which is “supposed to be a very simple and old technique. So I just put it in as a baseline,” Zeynep says. “That was very interesting — how something so small and simple was able to beat an LLM like ChatGPT that used millions of parameters (参数) and had so much coding go into it.” “We should be mindful with AI,” Zeynep says. “That doesn’t mean that LLMs are bad, because they’re for general use. They’re not necessarily meant for mental health.” Her data led her to conclude that LLMs should not be replacing human therapists. Instead, these models might help identify people who are struggling and refer them to a mental health professional. 28. What worried Zeynep when chatting with a friend? A. AI is applied to mental health. B. Human therapists charge high fees. C. AI is developing at an alarming rate. D. Health insurance companies face challenges. 29. Why were the human raters asked to label the posts? A. To assess the reliability of the posts. B. To figure out the F1-scores of different LLMs. C. To provide a reference standard for LLM testing. D. To assess human raters’ accuracy in detecting stress. 30. Why does Zeynep mention the random-forest model? A. To erase doubts about old models. B. To compare simple and complex models. C. To illustrate the urgent need for more parameters. D. To show the poor performance of LLMs in the test. 31. What does Zeynep mean in the last paragraph? A. LLMs are generally useless in most fields. B. Humans are responsible for improving AI. C. LLMs need more training in identifying mental struggles. D. Humans still play a dominant role in addressing mental issues. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是14岁的Zeynep Demirbas针对大型语言模型（LLMs）在心理健康领域应用展开的研究。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“That friend, a psychologist, said some health insurance companies were pushing the use of artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, for mental health. The idea: AI might be less costly and easier to access than human therapists (治疗专家).(这位朋友是位心理学家，他说一些健康保险公司正在推广使用人工智能技术，比如 ChatGPT，来辅助心理健康治疗。其想法是：与人类治疗师相比，人工智能可能成本更低、更容易获取。)”和第二段“That worried Zeynep, 14.(这让 14 岁的Zeynep感到担忧。)”可知，Zeynep在与朋友聊天时担心的是人工智能被应用于心理健康领域。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Human raters had been asked to label each one as containing stress or not. Then Zeynep asked the models to identify which posts showed stress.(此前，人类评估者已被要求给每条帖子标注是否包含压力。然后，Zeynep让这些模型识别哪些帖子显示出压力。)”可知，Zeynep给模型提供包含3500多个帖子的数据集，让人类评估者标记每个帖子是否包含压力，然后让模型识别哪些帖子显示压力，因此人类评估者的标记是为模型测试提供了参考标准，故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“It did even worse than the “random-forest” model, which is “supposed to be a very simple and old technique. So I just put it in as a baseline,” Zeynep says. “That was very interesting — how something so small and simple was able to beat an LLM like ChatGPT that used millions of parameters (参数) and had so much coding go into it.”(它的表现甚至还不如“随机森林”模型，“随机森林模型本应是一种非常简单且古老的技术，所以我只是把它作为基准”，Zeynep说，“这非常有趣——一个如此小巧简单的模型，居然能够击败像ChatGPT这种使用了数百万个参数、投入了大量代码编写的大型语言模型。”)”可知，Zeynep提及随机森林模型是为了展示大型语言模型在测试中的表现不佳。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Her data led her to conclude that LLMs should not be replacing human therapists. Instead, these models might help identify people who are struggling and refer them to a mental health professional.(她的数据让她得出结论：大型语言模型不应取代人类治疗师。相反，这些模型或许可以帮助识别出那些正陷入困境的人，并将他们转介给心理健康专业人士。)”可知，Zeynep根据数据得出LLMs不应取代人类治疗师，而是可辅助识别有困扰的人并转介给专业人士，说明人类在解决心理问题方面仍占主导地位，故选D。 D At any bus stop or while waiting in line, most people will have their heads down scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, there could be some serious benefits. We actually spend nearly half our waking time daydreaming, but it isn’t always pleasant. A study found people even preferred electric shocks to being alone with their thoughts. This explains why we automatically reach for phones during downtime Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — momentarily pleasurable but lacking in meaning. She adds human achievements largely come from higher-order thinking. So next time you have a few minutes free, put away your phone and let your mind wander. Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overblown. In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing, yet afterward reported greater enjoyment than expected. According to researcher Kou Murayama, the ability to mentally wander — to reflect on past experiences, and consider others’ viewpoints — is a distinctly human capacity that boosts learning and helps understand others. Mind-wandering is also key to problem-solving. People often find solutions better after unfocused thinking than intentional effort alone, especially during routine tasks like driving or showering. Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode (默认模式), allowing ideas to connect in new ways. It’s especially helpful for complex problems. Beyond cognitive (认知的) benefits, daydreaming also boosts social and emotional connections. A study found imagining pleasant interactions with loved ones made people feel closer. Social daydreaming allows individuals to practice conversations, reflect on past interactions, and prepare for future social situations. As psychologist Poerio says, our ability to mentally “time travel” helps us better handle the social world. Murayama says he now tries to resist checking his phone during short waits and let his thoughts wander. He finds simply entertaining oneself mentally can be both satisfying and meaningful. 32. Why does Erin Westgate compare mindless scrolling to “brain candy”? A. It does harm to people’s health. B. It helps people to avoid boredom. C. It replaces deep thinking in daily life. D. It brings quick but shallow enjoyment. 33. What is the 2022 study used to demonstrate? A. Phone addiction is avoidable. B. Daydreaming is undervalued. C. Being alone promotes learning. D. Self-reflection defines humans. 34. What does the default mode suggest? A. Unfocused thinking fuels creativity. B. Intentional effort brings new ideas. C. Complex tasks require active minds. D. Routines involve little brain activity. 35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Maintain Focus in the Digital Age B. Discover the Joy of Being Truly Alone C. Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind D. Explore Secret Benefits of Social Daydreaming 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了让思想开小差（白日梦）带来的多方面益处。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — momentarily pleasurable but lacking in meaning.(社会心理学教授艾琳・韦斯特盖特将无意义的刷手机行为比作“大脑糖果”—— 能带来片刻愉悦，却毫无深层价值。)”可知，艾琳·韦斯特盖特将无意识的刷手机行为比作“大脑糖果”是因为它带来的是快速但肤浅的享受。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing, yet afterward reported greater enjoyment than expected. According to researcher Kou Murayama, the ability to mentally wander — to reflect on past experiences, and consider others’ viewpoints — is a distinctly human capacity that boosts learning and helps understand others.(在2022年的一项研究中，人们预测他们会讨厌20分钟什么都不做的独处，但事后报告的享受程度比预期的要高。根据研究人员村山浩的说法，在精神上漫游的能力——反思过去的经历，考虑他人的观点——是一种明显的人类能力，可以促进学习并帮助理解他人。)”可知，2022年的研究被用来证明白日梦被低估了。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode (默认模式), allowing ideas to connect in new ways. It’s especially helpful for complex problems.(即使人们没有积极思考，他们的大脑仍然以所谓的默认模式保持活跃，让想法以新的方式连接起来。这对复杂问题特别有帮助。)”可知，默认模式表明不专注的思考激发创造力。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“But studies suggest if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, there could be some serious benefits.(但研究表明，如果你抵制这种冲动，让你的思想开小差，可能会有一些严重的好处。)”可知，文章主要讲述了让思想开小差的好处，所以“Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind(释放你漫游思想的能量)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。 第二节： 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever found yourself reciting your grocery list out loud in the supermarket or saying something encouraging to yourself before a big moment? If so, you are not alone. Talking to ourselves, either within our heads or out loud, is a common behavior. Psychologists refer to it as “self-talk,” a mental tool like a Swiss army knife. ____36____ Saying something out loud, whether it’s positive or negative, can make the thought that you’re expressing seem more official, or public, than if you merely think about it. ____37____ For them, working through a problem aloud helps them think more clearly and see how things fit together. Some people report using self-talk to help them calm down in periods of negative mental states. Research, for instance, has found that when people are anxious or stressed, they are more likely to engage in self-talk. ____38____ It is like giving yourself the support a friend would. ____39____ “I really do believe in the power of positive self-talk, at the gym, in the mirror, before a big meeting — all of that,” says Carol Bergman, 52. She does it before she works out with “Come on, you got this!” or with “You look great!” if she needs to hear some kind words about herself from time to time. In fact, we learn to talk to ourselves in childhood, where it is associated with better performance on tasks and challenging activities. ____40____ As adults, we may return to speaking out loud when mentally or emotionally challenged. In such moments, it serves as an extra tool to help us focus and think and solve problems. So talking to yourself is not being as strange as you think you are. A. However, we do it less as we grow older. B. Self-talk also helps people stay motivated. C. Here are some ways to put it into practice. D. It’s a superpower that we all naturally possess. E. It can be useful in many different situations in life. F. Speaking emotions aloud makes them manageable. G. Some people use self-talk to sort through a challenge. 【答案】36. E 37. G 38. F 39. B 40. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍自我对话是常见行为，它在生活多场景有用，能助人理清问题、调节情绪、保持动力，随年龄增长会减少，并非怪异举动。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Psychologists refer to it as “self-talk,” a mental tool like a Swiss army knife.(心理学家将其称为“自我对话”，这是一种类似于瑞士军刀般的心理工具)”可知，前文将自我对话比作瑞士军刀，说明它实用多功能。E选项“它在生活中许多不同情境下都很有用”承接上文，点明其广泛用途，引出下文具体作用。故选E。 【37题详解】 根据后文“For them, working through a problem aloud helps them think more clearly and see how things fit together.(对他们而言，把问题说出来有助于他们更清晰地思考，并能更好地理解各个部分之间的关系)”可知，后文出现“For them”，表明前文应提到一类人。G选项“有些人用自我对话梳理难题” 与后文“大声解决问题能让思路更清晰”对应，逻辑连贯。故选G。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Some people report using self-talk to help them calm down in periods of negative mental states. Research, for instance, has found that when people are anxious or stressed, they are more likely to engage in self-talk.(有些人在情绪或精神面临挑战时会通过自我对话的方式来让自己平静下来。例如，研究发现，当人们感到焦虑或压力过大时，他们更有可能进行自我对话)”可知，本段围绕焦虑、压力等负面情绪展开，讲自我对话可平复情绪。F选项“把情绪说出来能让情绪变得可控”符合语境，并与后文“像朋友给自己支持”衔接。故选F。 【39题详解】 根据后文““I really do believe in the power of positive self-talk, at the gym, in the mirror, before a big meeting — all of that,” says Carol Bergman, 52. She does it before she works out with “Come on, you got this!” or with “You look great!” if she needs to hear some kind words about herself from time to time.(52 岁的卡罗尔·伯格曼说：“我确实深信积极的自我对话的力量，无论是健身时、对着镜子自省时，还是在参加重要会议之前——所有这些场合都是如此。”她会在锻炼前对自己说“加油，你能行！”或者“你看起来棒极了！”如果她时不时需要听到一些关于自己的赞美之词的话，她就会这样说)”可知，本段举例 “你可以的”“你很棒” 等积极话语，属于激励自己。B选项“自我对话也有助于保持动力”准确概括本段主旨，总领下文例子。故选B。 【40题详解】 根据上文“In fact, we learn to talk to ourselves in childhood, where it is associated with better performance on tasks and challenging activities.(事实上，在童年时期我们就已经学会了自我对话，而这种自我对话与在任务和具有挑战性的活动中表现更佳有着密切的关系)”以及后文“As adults, we may return to speaking out loud when mentally or emotionally challenged. In such moments, it serves as an extra tool to help us focus and think and solve problems. So talking to yourself is not being as strange as you think you are.(作为成年人，当我们精神或情绪处于低落状态时，可能会重新习惯于大声说话。在这样的时刻，自言自语就像是一个额外的工具，能帮助我们集中注意力、思考问题并解决问题。所以，自言自语并不像你想象的那样奇怪)”可知，前文讲童年时期常自我对话，后文说成年后遇到挑战又会重新使用。A选项“然而，随着年龄的增长，我们做这件事的频率会逐渐降低”承上启下，形成童年与成年的对比。故选A。 三、完型填空(满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was an English exchange student in Beijing.

Sunmao is not about pushing wood into a shape, but about understanding its own nature — its pattern, its firmness, and its life as part of a tree.” The needed accuracy was not only in my skill, but also in my respectful attitude to the ____52____. Under his guidance, I made it. In the process, I’ve understood that neither part can ____53____ itself; its strength grows from allowing ____54____ for the other, from creating the exact space to go and lock together. A perfect joint means cutting away not just extra wood, but also my own pride. It is a lesson in ____55____ each other, that real wholeness comes from careful linking, not from standing alone. 41.

Work工作，操作；B. Live生活；C. Fill填充；D. Share分享。根据后文“not against it”和“understanding its own nature”可知，师傅教导要理解木头本性的理念，所以要顺着木材纹理去“操作”。故选A项。 【52题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：所需的精确不仅在于我的技艺，还在于我对材料抱有的尊重态度。A. surface表面；B. material材料；C. display展示；D. inspection检查。根据前文“but about understanding its own nature — its pattern, its firmness, and its life as part of a tree”可知，师傅教导要理解木头本身的性质，即对“材料”的尊重。故选B项。 【53题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：在这个过程中，我明白了任何一部分都无法独自支撑自身；它的力量源于为对方留出空间，源于创造出恰好可以契合的空间。A. understand理解；B. transform改变；C. support支撑；D. represent代表。根据后文“its strength grows from allowing for the other”可知，力量来自相互“支撑”。故选C项。 【54题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在这个过程中，我明白了任何一部分都无法独自支撑自身；它的力量源于为对方留出空间，源于创造出恰好可以契合的空间。A. room空间；B. fault过错；C. inquiry询问；D. measurement测量。根据后文“creating the exact space to go and lock together”可推知，榫卯需要为彼此留出“空间”，要契合。故选A项。 【55题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：这是一堂关于相互依靠的课，真正的完整来自于精妙的连接，而非孤立存在。A. coming across偶遇；B. learning from向……学习；C. depending upon依靠，依赖；D. competing against与……竞争。根据前文“In the process, I’ve understood that neither part can itself; its strength grows from allowing for the other, from creating the exact space to go and lock together.”可推知，榫卯无法独自支撑自身，它的力量源于为对方留出空间，要彼此契合，所以教会作者的是彼此“依靠”的道理。故选C项。 四、语法填空(满分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。 Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a mouse in space?

B Improving fitness was Dion Leonard’s inspiration for starting marathon recreationally together with his wife Lucja, and then as race competitors. After finishing sixth in a South African race, he traveled to China to compete in a 155-mile race across the Gobi Desert. On the first day, he noticed a small stray (流浪的) dog wandering around the campsite, where amused competitors fed her with their own limited supplies. On day two, Dion and the dog took some time to warm up to each other,and she even tried to chew his running equipment. Dion soon named her Gobi. Besides having completed a race requiring remarkable physical strength together, they also overcame emotionally trying circumstances when tasked with saving a severely worn-out competitor,ultimately costing them first place in the race. Through thick and thin, Dion and Gobi survived together and had no intentions of parting ways at the finish line. Determined to adopt Gobi and take her back to his home in Scotland, Dion launched a crowdfunding campaign that proved wildly successful. He later donated all extra funds to stray dog rescue organizations. However, disaster struck: Gobi went missing in Urumqi while awaiting an official approval to leave China. Despite the language barrier and the city’s 3 million population, Dion immediately flew back to search for her. By then, their heartwarming story had gained international media coverage, inspiring hundreds of Chinese volunteers to join in his search. Thankfully, Gobi was found. The reunion did more than bring them back together; it helped people of different cultures grow closer together as well. The pair now live happily in Tucson. Dion has written and published books documenting his and Gobi’s story — the children’s book tells a visual story through Gobi’s eyes while the adult book (a New York Times bestseller called Finding Gobi) addresses themes such as Dion’s upbringing that drove him not to leave Gobi behind. The different angles educate about everything from the value of exercise to animal welfare to overcoming obstacles. 24. What can be inferred from the first paragraph? A. Dion quickly formed a bond with Gobi. B. The organizers provided limited supplies. C. Gobi amused runners by chewing equipment. D. Dogs were encouraged to accompany runners. 25. Why did Dion launch a crowdfunding campaign? A. To finance his search for Gobi. B. To help rescue other stray dogs. C. To cover the cost of bringing Gobi back home. D. To obtain an approval for Gobi to leave China. 26. Which of the following best describes Dion’s books? A. Critical and cross-cultural. B. Motivational and time-honored. C. Innovative and fantasy-rooted. D. Heartfelt and multi-dimensional. 27. What is the main idea of the text? A. Animal protection is always on the way. B. A friendship can go beyond boundaries. C. Traveling a thousand miles makes a man. D. Differences can be bridged with joint efforts. C Inspiration for Zeynep Demirbas’ research struck during a chat with a friend. That friend, a psychologist, said some health insurance companies were pushing the use of artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, for mental health. The idea: AI might be less costly and easier to access than human therapists (治疗专家). That worried Zeynep, 14. She knew that ChatGPT often gave wrong answers or agreed with incorrect statements. Could this type of AI, known as a large language model — or LLM — really be trusted with our mental health? To find out, she tested whether several LLMs could detect stress in human text. She gave the models a dataset of more than 3,500 posts. Human raters had been asked to label each one as containing stress or not. Then Zeynep asked the models to identify which posts showed stress. To judge how well the models did, Zeynep calculated something called an F1-score for each one. This score considers how many stress-containing posts the models accurately spotted. It also accounts for how often the models missed cases of stress and how often they mislabeled posts as showing stress. An LLM specifically designed for mental health did the best. It scored about 82 percent. ChatGPT scored only about 74 percent. ChatGPT performing badly was “really surprising”, Zeynep says. It did even worse than the “random-forest” model, which is “supposed to be a very simple and old technique. So I just put it in as a baseline,” Zeynep says. “That was very interesting — how something so small and simple was able to beat an LLM like ChatGPT that used millions of parameters (参数) and had so much coding go into it.” “We should be mindful with AI,” Zeynep says. “That doesn’t mean that LLMs are bad, because they’re for general use. They’re not necessarily meant for mental health.” Her data led her to conclude that LLMs should not be replacing human therapists. Instead, these models might help identify people who are struggling and refer them to a mental health professional. 28. What worried Zeynep when chatting with a friend? A. AI is applied to mental health. B. Human therapists charge high fees. C. AI is developing at an alarming rate. D. Health insurance companies face challenges. 29. Why were the human raters asked to label the posts? A. To assess the reliability of the posts. B. To figure out the F1-scores of different LLMs. C. To provide a reference standard for LLM testing. D. To assess human raters’ accuracy in detecting stress. 30. Why does Zeynep mention the random-forest model? A. To erase doubts about old models. B. To compare simple and complex models. C. To illustrate the urgent need for more parameters. D. To show the poor performance of LLMs in the test. 31. What does Zeynep mean in the last paragraph? A. LLMs are generally useless in most fields. B. Humans are responsible for improving AI. C. LLMs need more training in identifying mental struggles. D. Humans still play a dominant role in addressing mental issues. D At any bus stop or while waiting in line, most people will have their heads down scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, there could be some serious benefits. We actually spend nearly half our waking time daydreaming, but it isn’t always pleasant. A study found people even preferred electric shocks to being alone with their thoughts. This explains why we automatically reach for phones during downtime Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — momentarily pleasurable but lacking in meaning. She adds human achievements largely come from higher-order thinking. So next time you have a few minutes free, put away your phone and let your mind wander. Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overblown. In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing, yet afterward reported greater enjoyment than expected. According to researcher Kou Murayama, the ability to mentally wander — to reflect on past experiences, and consider others’ viewpoints — is a distinctly human capacity that boosts learning and helps understand others. Mind-wandering is also key to problem-solving. People often find solutions better after unfocused thinking than intentional effort alone, especially during routine tasks like driving or showering. Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode (默认模式), allowing ideas to connect in new ways. It’s especially helpful for complex problems. Beyond cognitive (认知的) benefits, daydreaming also boosts social and emotional connections. A study found imagining pleasant interactions with loved ones made people feel closer. Social daydreaming allows individuals to practice conversations, reflect on past interactions, and prepare for future social situations. As psychologist Poerio says, our ability to mentally “time travel” helps us better handle the social world. Murayama says he now tries to resist checking his phone during short waits and let his thoughts wander. He finds simply entertaining oneself mentally can be both satisfying and meaningful. 32. Why does Erin Westgate compare mindless scrolling to “brain candy”? A. It does harm to people’s health. B. It helps people to avoid boredom. C. It replaces deep thinking in daily life. D. It brings quick but shallow enjoyment. 33. What is the 2022 study used to demonstrate? A. Phone addiction is avoidable. B. Daydreaming is undervalued. C. Being alone promotes learning. D. Self-reflection defines humans. 34. What does the default mode suggest? A. Unfocused thinking fuels creativity. B. Intentional effort brings new ideas. C. Complex tasks require active minds. D. Routines involve little brain activity. 35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Maintain Focus in the Digital Age B. Discover the Joy of Being Truly Alone C. Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind D. Explore Secret Benefits of Social Daydreaming 第二节： 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever found yourself reciting your grocery list out loud in the supermarket or saying something encouraging to yourself before a big moment? If so, you are not alone. Talking to ourselves, either within our heads or out loud, is a common behavior. Psychologists refer to it as “self-talk,” a mental tool like a Swiss army knife. ____36____ Saying something out loud, whether it’s positive or negative, can make the thought that you’re expressing seem more official, or public, than if you merely think about it. ____37____ For them, working through a problem aloud helps them think more clearly and see how things fit together. Some people report using self-talk to help them calm down in periods of negative mental states. Research, for instance, has found that when people are anxious or stressed, they are more likely to engage in self-talk. ____38____ It is like giving yourself the support a friend would. ____39____ “I really do believe in the power of positive self-talk, at the gym, in the mirror, before a big meeting — all of that,” says Carol Bergman, 52. She does it before she works out with “Come on, you got this!” or with “You look great!” if she needs to hear some kind words about herself from time to time. In fact, we learn to talk to ourselves in childhood, where it is associated with better performance on tasks and challenging activities. ____40____ As adults, we may return to speaking out loud when mentally or emotionally challenged. In such moments, it serves as an extra tool to help us focus and think and solve problems. So talking to yourself is not being as strange as you think you are. A. However, we do it less as we grow older. B. Self-talk also helps people stay motivated. C. Here are some ways to put it into practice. D. It’s a superpower that we all naturally possess. E. It can be useful in many different situations in life. F. Speaking emotions aloud makes them manageable. G. Some people use self-talk to sort through a challenge. 三、完型填空(满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was an English exchange student in Beijing.

Then rescue came from Master Feng, a skilled repairman. Seeing me ____50____ in frustration, he gave me a piece of walnut wood. “Feel its line,” he said. “ ____51____ with it, not against it. Sunmao is not about pushing wood into a shape, but about understanding its own nature — its pattern, its firmness, and its life as part of a tree.” The needed accuracy was not only in my skill, but also in my respectful attitude to the ____52____. Under his guidance, I made it. In the process, I’ve understood that neither part can ____53____ itself; its strength grows from allowing ____54____ for the other, from creating the exact space to go and lock together.
