B Cathy Winston is a sports nutritionist. Among her regulars are athletes. Cathy thrives on the variety, with each new sport providing new challenges and a renewed appreciation of her chosen field of expertise. In her view, dealing with athletes from various sport backgrounds helps her become seasoned, which is a key part of being a successful nutritionist. “You have to understand nutrition and people, and then you can begin to work in this field,” she says. “Besides, in tennis you must learn to be reactive, because you don’t know how long the match lasts. However, it’s 90 minutes in football. So you know what you’re fueling for.” Regardless of the sport, Cathy’s attitude remains the same — any athlete failing to respect nutrition is one who is failing to fulfill their potential. It’s a key part of the training process. It’s not just something that you take casually. She advises her athletes to hold nutrition in the same regard as they do their most crucial bit of equipment. “Just as you wouldn’t forget to put your shin pads (护腿板) or your boots in your kit bag, don’t forget to put in your drinks and your snacks. That informs how well you train, because you can’t get out if you haven’t put in.” Nutritionists are sometimes unfairly represented as militant (斗志昂扬的) types telling what athletes can and can’t eat . But Cathy insists that when to eat is more important than what. “It’s about when’s the right time to have it in,” she says. It’s a message that Cathy says can take a while to sink in. “A lot of boxers say, ‘but bananas make you fat. right?’, and there’s this inherent belief that we mustn’t eat those kinds of things. But it’s not about what to cut out. It’s about making sure that you’ve got the foundation right for health and performance. It’s that one size fits one. It’s what works for you. To be an excellent athlete, you really need to be an exceptional eater.” 24. What does Cathy think about her job? A. It merely needs to understand nutrition and people. B. It mainly focuses on the duration of matches. C. It highly values experience and flexibility. D. It hardly faces new challenges in every competition. 25. How does Cathy emphasize the importance of nutrition to athletes? A. By making a comparison. B. By telling a story. C. By providing data. D. By analyzing a phenomenon. 26. According to Cathy, what is a fundamental principle behind successful sports nutrition? A. Cutting out specific foods from the diet. B. Increasing the variety of foods. C. Following a strict and militant diet plan. D. Focusing on the timing of the diet. 27. What can be inferred from the passage? A. A good eater is a great athlete. B. Food is less important than skills in the sports field. C. Nutrition determines the results in the competition. D. Nutritionists act as unsung heroes behind athletes. C Not long ago, I believed there were only two kinds of viewers: those who switched on subtitles (字幕) only when the dialogue was unclear, and the unappreciative philistines (附庸风雅者) who left them on for no reason. I insisted that words at the bottom of the screen stole the purity of film art — the faint tremble of an actor’s lip or the perfect pause before a punchline. Recent numbers, however, show that I am defending an empty castle. A 2021survey found that 80% of viewers aged 18-25 “always” or “often” use subtitles. What makes the young so absorbed in reading while watching? The cliché blames a short attention span, but the real answer is more complicated. Growing up with phone s in hand, Gen-Z treat television as only one panel in a multimedia mosaic (拼接画). The survey shows that 80% of them “double-screen”, texting or scrolling while the show runs. Subtitles act like a quick download: a glance gives the line, the eye returns to the phone, and no plot is lost. Efficiency wins over pure absorption. Social media has pushed the habit further. On TikTok or Instagram, subtitles appear by default (默认); many creators even design videos around rapid-fire (接二连三的) text that is impossible to switch off. Algorithms (算法) reward this choice: clips with open subtitles engage more viewers’ attention and are more likely to crop up in searches. Subtitles have turned from an accessibility tool into a business strategy. The change is not always welcome. Comedies lose timing when the joke is visible before it is spoken; subtle acting is flattened into text. My flatmate, once annoyed by words on the screen, now leaves them on even for films. “I don’t notice I’m reading,” she said with a shrug, “but I can’t turn them off either.” Studies show the practice improves recall of plot details, yet there is no evidence that it sharpens reading skills. Perhaps the deeper shift is in our purpose: we watch to keep up, not to sink in. After work, we cuddle up on the sofa longing not for beauty or surprise, but for the quiet satisfaction of “comprehension”. Television was meant to be an escape; now it is another task we efficiently finish. 28. Why do Gen-Z viewers use subtitles while watching TV? A. They have short attention spans. B. They want to sharpen their reading skills. C. They operate multiple functions meanwhile. D. They find dialogues unclear. 29. Why do videos with subtitles enjoy greater popularity on social media? A. They are more accessible for viewers. B. Algorithms favor them and promote them more. C. Rapid-fire subtitles appear by default. D. They enhance the function of algorithms. 30. What is the author’s attitude towards the widespread use of subtitles? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why We Should All Turn Off Subtitles B. How Subtitles Ruin Film Art C. From Aid to Necessity: The Subtitle Revolution D. The Business of Subtitles: How Algorithms Drive Viewer Habits D When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez takes down any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine-learning algorithms, a form of AI, which are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself without any disturbance from the driver, and cope with all situations on the road. But this proving hard to achieve, carmakers choose to scale back many attempts to do so. Last year, for instance, Uber, a ride-hailing service, sold off its unit developing self-driving cars at a low price. Autonomous vehicles are boasted as being not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, machines are no exception. The RAND Corporation, an American think-tank, calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, a fleet of 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and cover 14 billion kilometres. At average road speeds, that would take about 400 years. Carmakers such as Porsche therefore accelerate the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about danger only rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines”, the programs that generate photo realistic images in computer games, to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive. How quickly, if ever, all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome doubt that a software driver really can be safer than humans. From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is one other relevant question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off what they regard as their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those boasting rights away? 32. What do the underlined words “scale back” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Make B. Reduce C. Encourage D. Overlook 33. The learning process of autonomous vehicles’ safe driving can be described as __________. A. thought-provoking B. fast-paced C. time-consuming D. well-designed 34. What challenge do autonomous vehicles bring to Porsche? A. Ensuring the pleasure of driving B. Making their sports cars affordable. C. Removing public doubts about safety. D. Integrating game engines into their vehicles. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Porsche’s sports cars are facing serious market risks. B. Simulators are the most important technology for self-driving cars. C. Fully reliable and widely accepted self-driving cars still face major challenges. D. Machine learning algorithms will soon replace human drivers completely. 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。 How to communicate complex information?

The event, 57. __________ (occur) 8200 years ago, brought about temperature declines of up to 6℃ within me re decades. Meanwhile, the breakaway of a Scotland-sized landmass from the Norwegian continental shelf generated a massive tsunami that completed Britain’s geographical 58. __________ (separate) from mainland Europe. 59. __________ these severe environmental challenges, northern hemisphere (半球) populations demonstrated remarkable toughness and resilience. Through it all, people across the northern hemisphere survived, some by packing up and moving, others by sticking it out. Rick Schulting from the University of Oxford notes: “These communities were not passive victims but actively adapted to changing circumstances.” While previous research had examined regional impacts, Schulting’s comprehensive study compared archaeological evidence and environmental records across northwestern Europe and southern Siberia.

Coastal communities in Norway’s Oslofjord expanded through increased reliance on marine resources like fish and seals, while Lake Baikal populations showed minimal disruption due to stable water-based supplies. In contrast, northwestern Russian groups around Lake Onega exhibited unusual burial patterns suggesting strategic concentration near reliable food sources, whereas Scottish communities abandoned coastal settlements entirely, likely moving inland to survive the prolonged cold period. This ancient climate event provides crucial insights into human responses to environmental crises. 64. __________ researchers emphasize, the event serves as 65. __________ critical case study for understanding how modern societies might address contemporary climate challenges, demonstrating that human adaptability remains essential for survival in changing environments. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是校绿化委员会成员李华，你校将开展“校园植物认养（Campus Plant Adoption）”活动。请用英文写一则通知，内容包括： 1．活动目的； 2．认养规则： 3．报名方式， 注意：1．写作词数应为80左右： 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Notice Dear fellow students, ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ School Greening Committee 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 “Mark, what a mess!” Mr. Thompson, the art teacher, exclaimed as he surveyed the paint-splattered (泼洒) Mark. Mark looked down at his paint-covered clothes and the paint on the floor. His face turned bright red, and he whispered, “I’m sorry, Mr. Thompson. I was trying to mix the perfect shade of ocean blue for my seascape (海景) painting, but I accidentally knocked over the paint bottle.” The students around him laughed quietly, and Mark felt a lump (肿块) form in his throat. It was the school’s annual art exhibition coming up, and this painting was his entry. Now, not only was his work destroyed, but he had also made a huge mess in the art room. Mr. Thompson sighed, “Clean this up immediately, Mark. And I hope you can fix your painting before the deadline. Remember what we learned about color theory last week — sometimes unexpected combinations lead to the most beautiful results.” With his head hung low, Mark cleaned the floor. When he finally sat back down to his painting, he realized that most of the blue paint was gone, and the canvas (画布) was made dirty. The once-promising seascape now looked like a chaotic mess. Mark bit his lip, his eyes welling up with tears. He glanced around the room, seeing his classmates focused on their nearly-finished masterpieces. Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the art class. Mark slowly packed his things. As he walked out of the art room, the gray sky outside seemed to mirror his mood. A light rain started to fall, and Mark pulled up his hood (风帽), not caring that the raindrops were making dark spots on his already-stained clothes. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t notice his best friend, Alex, walking beside him. “Hey, Mark, what’s wrong?” Alex asked, with an expression of concern on his face. Mark told him everything. “I spent hours trying to get that perfect blue for the ocean waves,” Mark sighed. “Without it, my whole painting is ruined.” Alex patted him on the back and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. Let’s go to the art supply room and see if there’s any blue paint left.” 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。 Upon entering the supply room, Mark’s heart sank. _______________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Two days later, Mark stood nervously beside his reborn painting at the exhibition. ______________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
