Participants can take their handmade coin home.(一个动手工作坊：‘设计你自己的硬币’（限20名学生，先到先得）参与者可以把他们手工制作的硬币带回家。)”可知，硬币设计工作坊允许学生保留他们的作品。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Important Information部分“Please do not bring any electronic devices, including smartphones or tablets.(请不要携带任何电子设备，包括智能手机或平板电脑。)”可知，在“青少年之夜”不允许使用智能手机。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。Important Information部分“Parents are welcome to wait in the designated waiting area near the main entrance, but they will not be admitted into the exhibit halls.(欢迎家长在正门附近的指定等候区等候，但他们将不被允许进入展厅。)”可知，活动期间家长可以待在指定的地点。 B When I was younger and living in a small flat on my own I was lonely, so I went to the cat shelter for a kitten. As I walked down the rows of cages with the assistant, one mature cat sat huddled in the back looking sad, so I stopped for a moment. “Oh, you’ll like this one,” the woman said, and before I could reply she opened the door. The cat sprang out onto me and wrapped his paws around my neck in a tight hug. “Oh, I’ve never had one do that before,” the assistant said. It was a job prying him off me and putting him back into the cage. When I got home I couldn’t stop thinking about that poor cat. He was going to be euthanised if no one took him in, so I rang early the next morning and said I’d pick him up later that day. When I went to work the next day, I left the cat, Sylvester, in my flat. When I got home round 6 o’clock and opened the door, Sylvester bolted outside. I thought he’d run away and was rather upset. A few minutes later, a meow at the door told me he’d come back. Then I realized I hadn’t left him a kitty-litter tray. I bought one the next day but he never seemed to use it. One night I was awoken by Sylvester sitting on my chest with his paws over my mouth. As I started to move he pushed harder with his paws as if to say, don’t speak or move. It was then I heard drawers being quietly opened and closed. Good grief, I’ve got an intruder (入侵者), I thought. I had nothing really to steal and lay still and quiet. I heard my flat door quietly open and close. Sylvester sprung off the bed, checked all around the flat and came back to me purring, as if to say, it’s safe now. Later, after I got married, I discovered Sylvester was using the toilet when he needed to go. He was the most amazing cat. When I arrived home from anywhere, he would jump and hug me like that very first meeting. 4. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The author decided to adopt a kitten originally. B. The assistant knew each cat’s behavior well. C. The cat’s unusual action surprised the assistant. D. The hug made the author adopt the cat. 5. What do Sylvester’s actions imply that night? A. He was trying to wake the author up for food. B. He sensed the danger and protected the author. C. He was playing a game with the author. D. He was scared by the noise and sought comfort. 6. Why does the author think Sylvester is amazing? A. He uses human toilet. B. He is smart and loyal. C. He hugs to greet. D. He stopped a robbery. 7. What life truth is reflected in the passage? A. Unintentional choices may bring precious rewards. B. Kindness only requires giving without expecting returns. C. Human-animal bonds are the most precious in life. D. Details in life never affect our overall experience. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述作者本想领养小猫，却意外收养一只成年猫咪，猫咪聪慧忠诚、守护主人，带来意外的温暖与美好。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Oh, I’ve never had one do that before,” the assistant said.(“哦，我从来没见过猫咪这样做过。”工作人员说道。)”可知，这只猫主动扑向作者并紧紧拥抱的反常行为，让工作人员十分惊讶。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“It was then I heard drawers being quietly opened and closed. Good grief, I’ve got an intruder (入侵者), I thought. I had nothing really to steal and lay still and quiet. I heard my flat door quietly open and close. Sylvester sprung off the bed, checked all around the flat and came back to me purring, as if to say, it’s safe now. (就在这时，我听到抽屉被轻轻拉开又关上，我意识到家里闯入了陌生人。公寓门开合后，猫咪下床巡查全屋，回到我身边发出呼噜声，暗示危险已经过去。)”可知，猫咪察觉到外来入侵者带来的危险，默默守护、保护主人。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Later, after I got married, I discovered Sylvester was using the toilet when he needed to go. He was the most amazing cat. When I arrived home from anywhere, he would jump and hug me like that very first meeting.(后来我结婚后，发现西尔维斯特会自己使用马桶，它是一只极好的猫咪。无论我从何处回家，它都会像初次见面那样跳过来拥抱我。)”可知，这只猫咪智商高、行为懂事，且长久陪伴、忠诚守护主人，因此作者认为它十分了不起。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“When I was younger and living in a small flat on my own I was lonely, so I went to the cat shelter for a kitten.(我年轻时独自住在小公寓倍感孤单，于是去猫咪收容所打算领养一只小猫。)”以及第二段中的“He was going to be euthanised if no one took him in, so I rang early the next morning and said I’d pick him up later that day.(如果无人收养，这只猫咪就会被实施安乐死，于是我第二天一早联系收容所，决定收养它。)”可知，作者原本只想领养小猫，偶然破例收养这只成年流浪猫，却收获了忠诚陪伴与暖心守护，因此无意间的选择往往会收获珍贵的馈赠。 C These days, artificial intelligence (AI) is showing up everywhere in our daily lives — from conference rooms to classrooms, health-care assessments to dinner table conversations. What sets AI apart from past tech innovations? These advanced systems are capable of doing things that previously only humans could do — and doing them swiftly. AI is technology that enables computers and machines to perform complex tasks that are typically associated with human intelligence, such as learning and problem-solving. When people talk about AI today, they’re usually referring to generative AI, a type of AI system that can generate writing, images, videos and computer code. AI systems essentially operate as gigantic (巨大的) pattern-analyzing prediction machines. To create AI chatbots’ impressive language capabilities, scientists and engineers have fed practically all the text on the Internet into a type of computer system designed to identify predictable patterns in human language. When you ask a chatbot to do something (also called giving it a prompt), it draws on the original data and patterns within its datasets to predict what words could come next to deliver a logical answer in sentence form. It doesn’t know, but it’s really good at guessing and mimicking how humans talk. There has been increasing debate within the scientific community about whether we should categorize what AI does as “thinking”. Research has shown that some AI chatbots behave in ways that resemble thinking or judgment. But while we know how AI models work overall, we can’t currently trace the internal decisions they make to arrive at each specific response. “The questions about consciousness are infamously hard,” says Vincent Conitzer, a professor of computer science and philosophy at Oxford and Carnegie Mellon universities. “We really need to make progress on them if we truly want to understand in what ways we can say AI thinks.” But it’s safe to say that right now, AI is not like the sentient superintelligence you’ve seen in movies. 8. What makes AI different from previous technological innovations? A. It replaces human jobs in many fields. B. This tech can understand human emotions deeply. C. It helps create new artistic and media works. D. Complex human-like tasks get finished quickly by it. 9. How do AI chatbots generate their responses? A. By understanding the true meaning of questions B. By copying human conversations from the Internet C. By predicting word patterns from massive data D. By making independent logical judgments 10. What does Paragraph 5 reveal about AI’s so-called “thinking”? A. Scientists have confirmed that AI can really think. B. AI is similar to human in decision-making. C. We can completely track how AI thinks internally. D. Real AI has the conscious superintelligence we see in movies. 11. What does Vincent Conitzer think is key to understanding AI’s thinking? A. To develop advanced AI to gain consciousness. B. To set strict rules for AI development. C. To further explore the questions about AI consciousness. D. To educate the public on AI’s potential risks. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍人工智能尤其是生成式AI的定义与工作原理，阐释其靠数据分析模仿人类表达，学界对AI是否具备思考意识尚存争议，当下AI并无影视中的感知超智能。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“These advanced systems are capable of doing things that previously only humans could do — and doing them swiftly.(这些先进的系统能够完成以往只有人类才能完成的任务——而且速度极快)”可知，人工智能能够迅速完成复杂的人类式任务。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“AI systems essentially operate as gigantic (巨大的) pattern-analyzing prediction machines. To create AI chatbots’ impressive language capabilities, scientists and engineers have fed practically all the text on the Internet into a type of computer system designed to identify predictable patterns in human language.(人工智能系统本质上就是巨大的模式分析预测机器。为了使人工智能聊天机器人具备出色的语言能力，科学家和工程师们将互联网上几乎所有的文本都输入到一种旨在识别人类语言中可预测模式的计算机系统中)”以及第四段“When you ask a chatbot to do something (also called giving it a prompt), it draws on the original data and patterns within its datasets to predict what words could come next to deliver a logical answer in sentence form. It doesn’t know, but it’s really good at guessing and mimicking how humans talk.(当你要求聊天机器人执行某项任务（也称为给它下达指令）时，它会依据其数据集中的原始信息和模式，预测接下来可能会出现哪些词语，从而以句子的形式给出一个合乎逻辑的答案。它并不知晓具体结果，但它在猜测和模仿人类语言方面确实非常出色)”可知，人工智能聊天机器人通过从大量数据中预测单词模式生成其回复。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“There has been increasing debate within the scientific community about whether we should categorize what AI does as “thinking”. Research has shown that some AI chatbots behave in ways that resemble thinking or judgment. But while we know how AI models work overall, we can’t currently trace the internal decisions they make to arrive at each specific response.(科学界内部对于是否应将人工智能所执行的操作归类为“思考”这一问题展开了越来越多的讨论。研究表明，一些人工智能聊天机器人的行为方式类似于思考或判断。尽管我们已经大致了解了人工智能模型的工作原理，但目前我们还无法追踪它们为得出每个具体回应而做出的内部决策过程)”可知，人工智能在决策方面与人类相似。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““We really need to make progress on them if we truly want to understand in what ways we can say AI thinks.” But it’s safe to say that right now, AI is not like the sentient superintelligence you’ve seen in movies.(“如果我们真想弄清楚人工智能在哪些方面具有思考能力，那么我们就必须在这方面取得进展。”但可以肯定的是，目前人工智能并不像电影中所呈现的那种具有意识的超级智能体)”可知，文森特·康齐特认为理解人工智能的思维的关键是进一步探究有关人工智能意识的问题。 D A study has found that red squirrels are coming under increasing competition from grey squirrels. However, a team of conservationists has developed a system that could support the red squirrel population-and it is being tested in several woodlands. Red squirrels have lived in the UK for around 10,000 years but it’s thought that there are only around 160,000 left. They once lived in most woodlands but now they’re restricted to northern England, Scotland, the Isle of Wight off the south coast of England and Anglesey in north Wales. By contrast, there are 2.7 million grey squirrels in the UK. Grey squirrels, which were introduced from North America in 1876, are bigger, so they are better at vying for food and areas to live. They also carry a virus called squirrelpox, which isn’t detrimental to grey squirrels but can be dangerous for the reds. To reverse the decline in red squirrel numbers, scientists have created an AI-driven conservation system called Squirrel Agent. It’s trained on thousands of clear images of the two species in all kinds of woodland conditions — different light, varying tree cover, and distinct squirrel postures — and this targeted training lets it tell red and grey squirrels apart with great precision, hitting a steady 97% identification accuracy rate in real forest tests. The system is designed to help red squirrels by giving them extra food, while curbing grey squirrel populations from getting even bigger. Using the information it has learned, the AI lets red squirrels get to feeders where they can eat lots of food without being chased off by greys. To stop the grey population expanding, the system can offer greys other food covered with a paste that stops them having babies. A human checks the AI has identified greys properly. Researchers think the AI could also be taught to identify individual squirrels by their whiskers, which are unique for each animal (like fingerprints). This could help experts track squirrels more closely. 12. What is the present situation of UK red squirrels? A. Their number has stayed the same for ages. B. They live in woodlands all over the UK. C. They compete with squirrels from Europe. D. Their living area has become much smaller. 13. The word “vying” in paragraph 3 most probably means “______”. A. fighting B. searching C. begging D. hiding 14. How does the system mainly control grey squirrels? A. By removing them from the woodlands directly B. By training them to stay away from feeders C. By using AI to drive them from feeding spots D. By giving them food that stops reproduction 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. Blaming the historical bringing of grey squirrels B. Using AI to fix a wildlife balance problem C. Comparing two squirrel species’ traits and habits D. Arguing for total removal of grey squirrels in UK 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍英国红松鼠遭受外来灰松鼠的生存威胁，科学家研发人工智能保护系统，以此保护红松鼠并平衡野生动物数量。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They once lived in most woodlands but now they’re restricted to northern England, Scotland, the Isle of Wight off the south coast of England and Anglesey in north Wales.(它们曾经生活在大多数林地，现在却仅限于英格兰北部、苏格兰、英格兰南部海岸附近的怀特岛以及北威尔士的安格尔西岛。)”可知，英国红松鼠的栖息范围大幅缩小，生存区域变得十分有限。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Grey squirrels, which were introduced from North America in 1876, are bigger, so they are better at vying for food and areas to live. They also carry a virus called squirrelpox, which isn’t detrimental to grey squirrels but can be dangerous for the reds.(灰松鼠于1876年从北美引入，体型更大，更善于vying食物和生存空间，还携带对自身无害却会危及红松鼠的松鼠痘病毒。)”可知，灰松鼠凭借体型优势抢占食物与栖息地，与红松鼠形成激烈竞争，由此可判断，画线单词vying表示“争夺、争斗”，与fighting表意一致。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“To stop the grey population expanding, the system can offer greys other food covered with a paste that stops them having babies.(为阻止灰松鼠种群扩张，该系统会给灰松鼠提供涂抹了抑制生育药膏的食物。)”可知，该系统通过为灰松鼠提供可阻断繁殖的食物，从而控制其种群数量。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段中的“To reverse the decline in red squirrel numbers, scientists have created an AI-driven conservation system called Squirrel Agent. (为扭转红松鼠数量下降的局面，科学家研发了一款名为松鼠特工的人工智能保护系统。)”可知，文章围绕人工智能技术展开，介绍其如何解决灰松鼠泛滥、保护本土红松鼠，修复野生动物失衡问题，所以“Using AI to fix a wildlife balance problem(利用AI修复野生动物生态失衡问题)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 “Social anxiety” has become one of the most popular labels among high school students. ____16____ Afraid to speak in class? Social anxiety. Avoid saying hello to classmates? Social anxiety. Reluctant to hang out on weekends? Social anxiety. The term has become a convenient shield (盾) for many adolescents. But here’s the interesting thing: many who claim to be “socially anxious” are surprisingly active online. They send dozens of messages in group chats and talk to gaming teammates until midnight. ____17____ This suggests the problem isn’t a lack of communication skills— it’s a specific fear of face-to-face interaction. ___18___ It’s known that real-life conversations can’t be edited. You can’t delete an awkward sentence or pretend you didn’t see someone’s reaction. Online, you have perfect control: think before you type, reply when you’re ready. Offline, there’s nowhere to hide. Behind this avoidance lies a deeper fear— the fear of being judged. Every word spoken in person invites immediate feedback: a raised eyebrow, a pause, or a certain tone. So you step aback and shut yourself from the genuine interaction. “I have social anxiety” becomes a label stuck to themselves. ____19____ The truth, nevertheless, is that social skills are like muscles— use them or lose them. The more you avoid social situations, the rustier you get. Social anxiety is real, but it shouldn’t be a destination. Embarrassment, awkward silences, and flushings are not signs of failure. They are simply the price of growth in the real world. ____20____ Then we can break away from the limitations of our inner world. A. What leads to this fear? B. Why is this problem so annoying? C. Admit the fear, and choose to try anyway. D. This protects self-esteem, but it also blocks growth. E. It can be easily seen in almost every corner of daily campus life. F. Only older generations truly understand what social anxiety means. G. They can even write long and detailed comments to their favorite influencers 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. A 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍学生群体社交焦虑泛滥的现象，分析线上线下社交差异与深层原因，呼吁主动突破自我、锻炼社交能力。 【16题详解】 根据前文““Social anxiety” has become one of the most popular labels among high school students.(“社交焦虑”已成为高中生最常见的标签之一。)”以及后文“Afraid to speak in class? Social anxiety. Avoid saying hello to classmates? Social anxiety.(害怕课堂发言？社交焦虑。回避和同学打招呼？社交焦虑。)”可知，后文列举大量校园生活场景，说明社交焦虑十分普遍。E选项“It can be easily seen in almost every corner of daily campus life.(它几乎随处可见于校园日常生活的各个角落。)”承接上文社交焦虑流行的现状，引出下文各类具体事例，逻辑连贯，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据前文“But here’s the interesting thing: many who claim to be “socially anxious” are surprisingly active online. They send dozens of messages in group chats and talk to gaming teammates until midnight.(但有趣的是：许多自称有“社交焦虑”的人，在线上却异常活跃。他们在群聊发送大量消息，和游戏队友聊天到深夜。)”可知，横线处需要继续列举线上社交活跃的表现。G选项“They can even write long and detailed comments to their favorite influencers.(他们甚至会给自己喜欢的网红写下长篇详细的评论。)”延续前文举例，强化线下胆怯、线上放松的反差，贴合段落观点，符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据后文“It’s known that real-life conversations can’t be edited. You can’t delete an awkward sentence or pretend you didn’t see someone’s reaction.(现实对话无法编辑，你不能删掉尴尬的语句，也不能假装没看到别人的反应。)”可知，下文具体解释人们害怕面对面交流的原因。A选项“What leads to this fear?(是什么导致了这种恐惧？)”提出设问，总领本段内容，引出下文原因分析，承上启下，符合语境。 【19题详解】 根据前文“So you step aback and shut yourself from the genuine interaction. “I have social anxiety” becomes a label stuck to themselves.(于是你选择退缩，隔绝真实的人际交往，将“我有社交焦虑”当作固定的自我标签。)”可知，横线处要评价这种自我封闭、贴标签的行为带来的影响。D选项“This protects self-esteem, but it also blocks growth.(这种做法保护了自尊，却也阻碍了个人成长。)”中指示代词This指代上文逃避现实社交的行为，点明其消极弊端，总结本段内容，符合语境。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Embarrassment, awkward silences, and flushings are not signs of failure. They are simply the price of growth in the real world.(尴尬、冷场与脸红都不是失败，只是现实成长所要付出的代价。)”以及后文“Then we can break away from the limitations of our inner world.(我们便能挣脱内心世界的束缚。)”可知，文章结尾给出做法建议，升华主旨。C选项“Admit the fear, and choose to try anyway.(承认恐惧的存在，依旧选择勇敢尝试。)”承接上文道理，提出可行做法，衔接后文积极结果，符合语境。 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） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Qingming Festival is a traditional Chinese festival for people to honor their ancestors.

Steve, dressed in a plain winter coat, brought his son to a table by the window. The boy’s eyes lit up — this was the place where he always got his favorite dish. “Dad, I want the braised ribs” he said excitedly, rubbing his cold hands together. Steve smiled. “Alright, alright. And some vegetables too.” As they waited for their order, the door creaked open, letting in a gust of freezing air. An elderly man walked in slowly, leaning heavily on a cane. A worn-out backpack hung from his bent shoulders, and his thin jacket looked no match for the cold. He approached the counter with hesitation, his eyes glancing nervously across the menu board. “Excuse me,” he said in a low, unsteady voice. “Could I… just buy a bowl of rice? Nothing else.” The waiter paused. They only served set meals, but seeing the old man’s pale, shivering hands, he nodded after a moment. “Alright, sir. Please have a seat by the heater.” Relief washed over the old man’s face. He fumbled with a small plastic bag from his jacket, pulling out a few crumpled (皱巴巴的) banknotes and counting them carefully before handing them over. The waiter placed a bowl of plain white rice on a corner table near the radiator. The old man made his way there, his cane tapping softly on the floor. He sat down, cupping his hands around the warm bowl to chase away the chill. Then he picked up his chopsticks and stared at the rice for a long moment. Outside, snow began to fall softly against the frosted window; inside, the clatter of dishes and the warmth of the heater filled the air. The old man lowered his head, took a slow bite of rice, and chewed for a long time. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答 Paragraph1: The old man was having his meal when his daughter called. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: Hurtedly, the old man told the waiter that he hadn’t ordered this dish. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: The old man was having his meal when his daughter called. He picked up the phone with trembling hands, his voice soft and weak. When his daughter asked about his lunch, he lied that he was having a rich meal with meat, not wanting her to worry about his hard life alone in the city. After hanging up, he wiped the tears from his eyes and took another slow bite of plain rice. Steve watched this quietly, his heart filled with deep sympathy. He called the waiter over, whispered a few words, and paid for a plate of braised ribs for the old man without hesitation. Paragraph 2: Hurriedly, the old man told the waiter that he hadn’t ordered this dish. The waiter smiled and pointed to Steve’s table, explaining it was a warm gift from the kind gentleman there. The old man turned to Steve, his eyes full of surprise and gratitude. He walked over and thanked Steve repeatedly. Steve shook his head gently, saying it was just a small thing and hoped the ribs could warm him up on the cold day. The little boy also handed the old man a sweet candy, and the cold winter noon was filled with warm light because of this small kindness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以冬日餐厅为场景展开，讲述了父子就餐时，看到一位老人因拮据只买白米饭，独自用餐。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写老人接女儿电话时谎称吃好饭，Steve见状悄悄为他点了一份排骨。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写老人疑惑解释没点排骨，得知是Steve赠送后满心感激，小男孩也送上糖果，餐厅里满是暖意。 2. 续写线索：老人接电话——Steve赠排骨——老人疑惑询问——得知真相致谢——男孩送糖果——冬日暖意弥漫 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①低语：whisper/murmur ②发抖：tremble/shiver/shake 情绪类 ①同情：sympathy/compassion ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】[高分句型1] When his daughter asked about his lunch, he lied that he was having a rich meal with meat, not wanting her to worry about his hard life alone in the city.

As I walked down the rows of cages with the assistant, one mature cat sat huddled in the back looking sad, so I stopped for a moment. “Oh, you’ll like this one,” the woman said, and before I could reply she opened the door. The cat sprang out onto me and wrapped his paws around my neck in a tight hug. “Oh, I’ve never had one do that before,” the assistant said. It was a job prying him off me and putting him back into the cage. When I got home I couldn’t stop thinking about that poor cat. He was going to be euthanised if no one took him in, so I rang early the next morning and said I’d pick him up later that day. When I went to work the next day, I left the cat, Sylvester, in my flat. When I got home round 6 o’clock and opened the door, Sylvester bolted outside. I thought he’d run away and was rather upset. A few minutes later, a meow at the door told me he’d come back. Then I realized I hadn’t left him a kitty-litter tray. I bought one the next day but he never seemed to use it. One night I was awoken by Sylvester sitting on my chest with his paws over my mouth. As I started to move he pushed harder with his paws as if to say, don’t speak or move. It was then I heard drawers being quietly opened and closed. Good grief, I’ve got an intruder (入侵者), I thought. I had nothing really to steal and lay still and quiet. I heard my flat door quietly open and close. Sylvester sprung off the bed, checked all around the flat and came back to me purring, as if to say, it’s safe now. Later, after I got married, I discovered Sylvester was using the toilet when he needed to go. He was the most amazing cat. When I arrived home from anywhere, he would jump and hug me like that very first meeting. 4. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The author decided to adopt a kitten originally. B. The assistant knew each cat’s behavior well. C. The cat’s unusual action surprised the assistant. D. The hug made the author adopt the cat. 5. What do Sylvester’s actions imply that night? A. He was trying to wake the author up for food. B. He sensed the danger and protected the author. C. He was playing a game with the author. D. He was scared by the noise and sought comfort. 6. Why does the author think Sylvester is amazing? A. He uses human toilet. B. He is smart and loyal. C. He hugs to greet. D. He stopped a robbery. 7. What life truth is reflected in the passage? A. Unintentional choices may bring precious rewards. B. Kindness only requires giving without expecting returns. C. Human-animal bonds are the most precious in life. D. Details in life never affect our overall experience. C These days, artificial intelligence (AI) is showing up everywhere in our daily lives — from conference rooms to classrooms, health-care assessments to dinner table conversations. What sets AI apart from past tech innovations? These advanced systems are capable of doing things that previously only humans could do — and doing them swiftly. AI is technology that enables computers and machines to perform complex tasks that are typically associated with human intelligence, such as learning and problem-solving. When people talk about AI today, they’re usually referring to generative AI, a type of AI system that can generate writing, images, videos and computer code. AI systems essentially operate as gigantic (巨大的) pattern-analyzing prediction machines. To create AI chatbots’ impressive language capabilities, scientists and engineers have fed practically all the text on the Internet into a type of computer system designed to identify predictable patterns in human language. When you ask a chatbot to do something (also called giving it a prompt), it draws on the original data and patterns within its datasets to predict what words could come next to deliver a logical answer in sentence form. It doesn’t know, but it’s really good at guessing and mimicking how humans talk. There has been increasing debate within the scientific community about whether we should categorize what AI does as “thinking”. Research has shown that some AI chatbots behave in ways that resemble thinking or judgment. But while we know how AI models work overall, we can’t currently trace the internal decisions they make to arrive at each specific response. “The questions about consciousness are infamously hard,” says Vincent Conitzer, a professor of computer science and philosophy at Oxford and Carnegie Mellon universities. “We really need to make progress on them if we truly want to understand in what ways we can say AI thinks.” But it’s safe to say that right now, AI is not like the sentient superintelligence you’ve seen in movies. 8. What makes AI different from previous technological innovations? A. It replaces human jobs in many fields. B. This tech can understand human emotions deeply. C. It helps create new artistic and media works. D. Complex human-like tasks get finished quickly by it. 9. How do AI chatbots generate their responses? A. By understanding the true meaning of questions B. By copying human conversations from the Internet C. By predicting word patterns from massive data D. By making independent logical judgments 10. What does Paragraph 5 reveal about AI’s so-called “thinking”? A. Scientists have confirmed that AI can really think. B. AI is similar to human in decision-making. C. We can completely track how AI thinks internally. D. Real AI has the conscious superintelligence we see in movies. 11. What does Vincent Conitzer think is key to understanding AI’s thinking? A. To develop advanced AI to gain consciousness. B. To set strict rules for AI development. C. To further explore the questions about AI consciousness. D. To educate the public on AI’s potential risks. D A study has found that red squirrels are coming under increasing competition from grey squirrels. However, a team of conservationists has developed a system that could support the red squirrel population-and it is being tested in several woodlands. Red squirrels have lived in the UK for around 10,000 years but it’s thought that there are only around 160,000 left. They once lived in most woodlands but now they’re restricted to northern England, Scotland, the Isle of Wight off the south coast of England and Anglesey in north Wales. By contrast, there are 2.7 million grey squirrels in the UK. Grey squirrels, which were introduced from North America in 1876, are bigger, so they are better at vying for food and areas to live. They also carry a virus called squirrelpox, which isn’t detrimental to grey squirrels but can be dangerous for the reds. To reverse the decline in red squirrel numbers, scientists have created an AI-driven conservation system called Squirrel Agent. It’s trained on thousands of clear images of the two species in all kinds of woodland conditions — different light, varying tree cover, and distinct squirrel postures — and this targeted training lets it tell red and grey squirrels apart with great precision, hitting a steady 97% identification accuracy rate in real forest tests. The system is designed to help red squirrels by giving them extra food, while curbing grey squirrel populations from getting even bigger. Using the information it has learned, the AI lets red squirrels get to feeders where they can eat lots of food without being chased off by greys. To stop the grey population expanding, the system can offer greys other food covered with a paste that stops them having babies. A human checks the AI has identified greys properly.

Social anxiety. Avoid saying hello to classmates? Social anxiety. Reluctant to hang out on weekends? Social anxiety. The term has become a convenient shield (盾) for many adolescents. But here’s the interesting thing: many who claim to be “socially anxious” are surprisingly active online. They send dozens of messages in group chats and talk to gaming teammates until midnight. ____17____ This suggests the problem isn’t a lack of communication skills— it’s a specific fear of face-to-face interaction. ___18___ It’s known that real-life conversations can’t be edited. You can’t delete an awkward sentence or pretend you didn’t see someone’s reaction. Online, you have perfect control: think before you type, reply when you’re ready. Offline, there’s nowhere to hide. Behind this avoidance lies a deeper fear— the fear of being judged. Every word spoken in person invites immediate feedback: a raised eyebrow, a pause, or a certain tone. So you step aback and shut yourself from the genuine interaction. “I have social anxiety” becomes a label stuck to themselves. ____19____ The truth, nevertheless, is that social skills are like muscles— use them or lose them. The more you avoid social situations, the rustier you get. Social anxiety is real, but it shouldn’t be a destination. Embarrassment, awkward silences, and flushings are not signs of failure. They are simply the price of growth in the real world. ____20____ Then we can break away from the limitations of our inner world. A. What leads to this fear? B. Why is this problem so annoying? C. Admit the fear, and choose to try anyway. D. This protects self-esteem, but it also blocks growth. E. It can be easily seen in almost every corner of daily campus life. F. Only older generations truly understand what social anxiety means. G. They can even write long and detailed comments to their favorite influencers 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） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Qingming Festival is a traditional Chinese festival for people to honor their ancestors.

Steve, dressed in a plain winter coat, brought his son to a table by the window. The boy’s eyes lit up — this was the place where he always got his favorite dish. “Dad, I want the braised ribs” he said excitedly, rubbing his cold hands together. Steve smiled. “Alright, alright. And some vegetables too.” As they waited for their order, the door creaked open, letting in a gust of freezing air. An elderly man walked in slowly, leaning heavily on a cane. A worn-out backpack hung from his bent shoulders, and his thin jacket looked no match for the cold. He approached the counter with hesitation, his eyes glancing nervously across the menu board. “Excuse me,” he said in a low, unsteady voice. “Could I… just buy a bowl of rice? Nothing else.” The waiter paused. They only served set meals, but seeing the old man’s pale, shivering hands, he nodded after a moment. “Alright, sir. Please have a seat by the heater.” Relief washed over the old man’s face. He fumbled with a small plastic bag from his jacket, pulling out a few crumpled (皱巴巴的) banknotes and counting them carefully before handing them over. The waiter placed a bowl of plain white rice on a corner table near the radiator. The old man made his way there, his cane tapping softly on the floor. He sat down, cupping his hands around the warm bowl to chase away the chill. Then he picked up his chopsticks and stared at the rice for a long moment. Outside, snow began to fall softly against the frosted window; inside, the clatter of dishes and the warmth of the heater filled the air. The old man lowered his head, took a slow bite of rice, and chewed for a long time. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答 Paragraph1: The old man was having his meal when his daughter called. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: Hurtedly, the old man told the waiter that he hadn’t ordered this dish. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
