The International Linguistics Olympiad (IOL) is a competition for pre-university students, held in a different country each year since 2003. It challenges participants, both individually and in teams, to solve linguistic (语言学的) puzzles. To compete at the IOL, no special knowledge is required, only basic language concepts, logic, patience, and creative thinking. Try this beginner sample to see if the IOL is right for you.
A Puzzle
The names of some South American countries are written in Georgian (格鲁吉亚语) with their English translations:
Brazil
Peru
Uruguay
Q: What is the English name of this country “”?
The Solution
●The Georgian forms of “Peru” and “Uruguay” have the same number of letters as their English names, showing a direct letter match.
●The repeated U in “Uruguay” further confirms Georgian is written left-to-right.
●“Brazil” has fewer letters than the Georgian version, but thanks to the two other names, we already know: →R, →A, →G, →E.
●With these letters, the pattern can be translated as “A R G E _ _ _ _ A, ” which is “Argentina. ”
Contest Rules
● Each individual contestant or team must choose a working language for their problems and solutions, a choice that cannot be changed less than two weeks before the Olympiad begins.
● The individual contest involves solving five problems in six hours, whereas the team contest features one problem with two hours less.
● Unless instructed, giving multiple answers will receive zero marks. Besides, a detailed explanation is required for each answer; failure to provide one will result in a lower score.

The team contest will award up to one gold, two silver, and three bronze medals.

I started walking backward for no apparent reason. I was simply waving goodbye to my daughters when it hit me to take a few steps backward. Since I’d already started, I thought I could walk all the way home that way. After all, the contradiction of moving forward by going backward seemed engaging and worth exploring.
The first problem was practical. Snow is a pain even for regular walking, so my pace slowed down considerably. At this different pace, life itself felt rushed in comparison. How silly it is that we’re always in such a hurry to get somewhere. For example, I often arrive at places long after my body gets there. Sometimes I reach my daughters’ school, but my mind is still at home, wondering whether I unplugged my wife’s hair dryer. Walking backward, however, forced me to adjust the pace of my body to my mind.
The next thing had to do with vision. In regular walking, the path ahead is always visible. Here, you use other senses: you hear the car approaching, you sense the unevenness of the ground, and you notice the change in the firmness of the snow. You activate an entire set of skills we usually don’t use because of our dependence on sight. This way, the familiar path I walked every day suddenly felt like a grand adventure, a discovery I hadn’t anticipated.
Because of my addiction to foolish ideas, I decided to continue my backward walking for the rest of the day. And I quickly realized something obvious: the path I enjoyed most was the one I had already travelled. And it struck me that this was the right way to look at life: moving toward a destination without ever forgetting where you’ve been, or how far you’ve come. Looking back is always good for self-value. There’s no way to look at yesterday and not feel better: for the illness that didn’t kill you, or the happy childhood days that still make you smile.
4. What interested the author in the first paragraph?
A. Finding a new route back home. B. Moving forward in a different manner.
C. Engaging himself in deep thinking. D. Seeing his daughters off every morning.
5. What did the author realize on the way back home?
A. We don’t need to live a rushed life.
B. We need to stay focused at work.
C. We should spend more time with family.
D. We shouldn’t compare ourselves to others.
6. How did the author overcome the vision problem?
A. He studied a set of new skills.
B. He depended on his memory.
C. He made full use of other senses.
D. He followed his sense of direction.
7. What message does the author seem to deliver in the last paragraph?
A. Childhood is the best part in life.
B. One ought to learn to forgive himself.
C. It’s important to find your self-value.
D. It’s inspiring to reflect on the past.
C
Cristiano Ronaldo sits on his bed, reminding himself that “sleep is the most important tool that I have,” and that a disciplined routine shapes his performance. The fitness-tracking band on his wrist reflects the close attention he gives to his body. But this once-specialized habit has gradually moved beyond professional sports, becoming part of the lives of ordinary people who want a clearer sense of their health condition.
Many wearables on the market provide reliable heart-rate tracking and basic physiological (生理的) data, sufficient for general everyday monitoring. Some advanced models, however, go further. They show how habits like late-night eating or drinking directly influence recovery and readiness for the next day. Rather than offering separate data points, these devices track how small changes build up over time, revealing behavioral patterns that shape overall health trends.
Health specialist Jess Whitmore says wearables have become essential tools for top athletes, who now consult their data as naturally as they tie their boots. Yet not everyone welcomes this shift toward constant monitoring. Sports dietitian Jess McGregor warns that the expectation to “train like an athlete” can push ordinary people toward perfectionism and anxiety. The urge to improve everything — sleep scores, readiness ratings, daily stress — can make lives center around numbers. While these numbers offer insight, they cannot replace subjective awareness of energy, emotions or recovery needs. “Everything is being digitized and reduced to numbers,” McGregor says.
Perhaps that is the quiet reminder hidden beneath all the data. “When numbers begin to shadow our days, the watch on our wrist can make us forget the body’s gentler signals,” says Dr. Zachary Walston. He adds, “Living a healthy life still means adding enjoyable habits, like evening walks or taking the stairs, and appreciating the pleasure and freedom they bring, rather than simply chasing device targets.”
8. What can we learn about fitness tracking from paragraph 1?
A. It is common among ordinary people.
B. It is adopted to treat sleep disorders.
C. It controls sports training routines.
D. It guarantees top athletic performance.
9. What makes advanced wearables different from other products?
A. They are designed specifically for night eating.
B. They reveal connections between habits and health.
C. They offer separate and independent data points.
D. They provide rich and solid physiological information.
10. What is Jess McGregor worried about regarding using wearables?
A. Reduced enjoyment in daily routines. B. Lack of timely professional guidance.
C. Mental pressure from chasing numbers. D. Physical injuries from training too hard.
11. What does Dr. Zachary Walston suggest people do?
A. Abandon fitness tracking devices. B. Predict body responses from data.
C. Listen to your physical signals. D. Set clear targets for daily exercise.
D
Around Christmas, 50-year-old New Yorker Holly Jespersen felt unwell but hesitated to see a doctor. She turned to ChatGPT, which advised her against visiting. Days later, with a high fever and headaches, again using the chatbot to decide when, she finally went to urgent care and was diagnosed with influenza A.
Holly is far from alone. According to OpenAI, over 40 million daily health-related enquiry, with 230 million weekly. In January, it announced ChatGPT Health, allowing users to upload medical records for customized (定制的) support. The company stresses it is meant to “support, not replace” medical care, not for diagnosis or treatment, but to help with everyday questions and pattern recognition.
Yet concerns arise. Family physician Dr. Alexa Mieses Malchuk warns that ChatGPT, like WebMD, prioritizes being helpful over accurate. A 2023 study found ChatGPT’s cancer treatment plans contained many errors, some hard even for experts to detect. However, newer research on colon cancer showed its answers on symptoms and prevention were highly accurate, suggesting LLMs (大型语言模型) may assist patient education but not clinical decisions.
Beyond accuracy, psychologists highlight anxiety risks. A 2013 study confirmed that online symptom searches can intensify health anxiety, especially for those intolerant of uncertainty. Clinical psychologist Elizabeth Sadock notes that ChatGPT, always available and affirming, fuels reassurance-seeking (寻求慰藉) behavior, trapping users in a cycle of anxiety. For some patients, limiting ChatGPT use may now be part of treatment.
Privacy is another puzzle. Biomedical informatics professor Bradley Malin acknowledges OpenAI’s security efforts, but stresses ChatGPT Health falls outside HIPAA regulation. Patients may unknowingly lose legal protections when their data flows from secured medical records to an unregulated third party.
Yet some see value. Dermatologist Kumar views ChatGPT Health as educational, clarifying terms like sunscreen types, not diagnostic. He distinguishes it from WebMD’s curated, reviewed content, while ChatGPT’s AI may mislead.
Thus, ChatGPT Health enters America’s broken system as a double-edged sword: a round-the-clock assistant that may empower (赋权) patients, yet risks misinforming, over-reassuring, and exposing them to unregulated data practices.
12. Why does OpenAI launch ChatGPT Health?
A. To replace medical care totally. B. To provide consultation timely.
C. To treat the patients early. D. To diagnose diseases quickly.
13. What can we learn from paragraphs 3-5?
A. ChatGPT may lead to more risks than benefits.
B. ChatGPT is always available, helpful and accurate.
C. Psychologists advise people not to use ChatGPT.
D. People will have no privacy when using ChatGPT.
14. How does Kumar find ChatGPT?
A. It teaches patients some medical terms.
B. It can be used as an assistant to patients.
C. It can help more patients cure diseases.
D. It has more advantages than disadvantages.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward ChatGPT Health?
A. Enthusiastic and supportive. B. Cautious and optimistic.
C. Disapproving and negative. D. Critical and loyal.
第二节 七选五(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。
People favor humor, as it lights up daily moments, eases awkwardness and makes every interaction warm and enjoyable. This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online. ____16____.
Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge. ____17____. For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand. ____18____ Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers.
____19____ The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility.
Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness. ____20____ Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular.
A. It is believed that humor needs to be used with great care in such communication.
B. Overuse harms professionalism.
C. It also boosts audience engagement effectively.
D. It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant.
E. A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect.
F. Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though.
G. It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people.

The English writing competition drew near. Jack, who had always struggled to put his thoughts into coherent words, determined to turn to AI for help.
He simply input the given theme of the competition, added a few key words, and hit “generate”. Much to his delight, in less than 5 minutes, the screen lit up. A vivid and well-structured essay was presented. Jack was amazed by how effortlessly the well-chosen words flowed on the page. Without a second thought, Jack signed his name and submitted the piece, ignoring the tiny voice of guilt from the bottom of his heart.
His essay stood out among hundreds of entries and was selected to represent the school in the municipal-level contest. When his English teacher, Ms. Cathy, called him to her office, Jack’s heart skipped a beat. With a gentle but firm tone, Ms. Cathy looked straight into his eyes and asked, “Jack, I need you to tell me the truth — did you write this essay entirely on your own? ” The question hung in the air, heavy and inescapable. Jack’s mind went blank for a moment. The thought of losing the chance to compete, of being laughed at by his classmates for cheating, overwhelmed him. Taking a shaky breath, he kept his eyes off the teacher and nodded, “Yes, Ms. Cathy. Every word is mine. ”
Ms. Cathy nodded, seemingly satisfied, and patted his shoulder, “That’s great. Your genuine hard work will pay off. This essay has a unique perspective, and I’m sure it will shine at the municipal contest. ” But Jack didn’t feel any joy. On the contrary, a sense of guilt weighed heavily on him. That night, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. The lie he had told kept echoing in his ears. He thought about Ms. Cathy’s trusting eyes, about the meaning of the competition, and about how proud he would have felt if he had written the essay himself. He was torn between the fear of being exposed and the desire to do the right thing.
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。
Paragraph 1: The next day, Jack went to the teacher’s office.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: The day to announce the results of the contest came.

I started walking backward for no apparent reason. I was simply waving goodbye to my daughters when it hit me to take a few steps backward. Since I’d already started, I thought I could walk all the way home that way. After all, the contradiction of moving forward by going backward seemed engaging and worth exploring.
The first problem was practical. Snow is a pain even for regular walking, so my pace slowed down considerably. At this different pace, life itself felt rushed in comparison. How silly it is that we’re always in such a hurry to get somewhere. For example, I often arrive at places long after my body gets there. Sometimes I reach my daughters’ school, but my mind is still at home, wondering whether I unplugged my wife’s hair dryer. Walking backward, however, forced me to adjust the pace of my body to my mind.
The next thing had to do with vision. In regular walking, the path ahead is always visible. Here, you use other senses: you hear the car approaching, you sense the unevenness of the ground, and you notice the change in the firmness of the snow. You activate an entire set of skills we usually don’t use because of our dependence on sight. This way, the familiar path I walked every day suddenly felt like a grand adventure, a discovery I hadn’t anticipated.
Because of my addiction to foolish ideas, I decided to continue my backward walking for the rest of the day. And I quickly realized something obvious: the path I enjoyed most was the one I had already travelled. And it struck me that this was the right way to look at life: moving toward a destination without ever forgetting where you’ve been, or how far you’ve come. Looking back is always good for self-value. There’s no way to look at yesterday and not feel better: for the illness that didn’t kill you, or the happy childhood days that still make you smile.

Cristiano Ronaldo sits on his bed, reminding himself that “sleep is the most important tool that I have,” and that a disciplined routine shapes his performance. The fitness-tracking band on his wrist reflects the close attention he gives to his body. But this once-specialized habit has gradually moved beyond professional sports, becoming part of the lives of ordinary people who want a clearer sense of their health condition.
Many wearables on the market provide reliable heart-rate tracking and basic physiological (生理的) data, sufficient for general everyday monitoring. Some advanced models, however, go further. They show how habits like late-night eating or drinking directly influence recovery and readiness for the next day. Rather than offering separate data points, these devices track how small changes build up over time, revealing behavioral patterns that shape overall health trends.
Health specialist Jess Whitmore says wearables have become essential tools for top athletes, who now consult their data as naturally as they tie their boots. Yet not everyone welcomes this shift toward constant monitoring. Sports dietitian Jess McGregor warns that the expectation to “train like an athlete” can push ordinary people toward perfectionism and anxiety. The urge to improve everything — sleep scores, readiness ratings, daily stress — can make lives center around numbers. While these numbers offer insight, they cannot replace subjective awareness of energy, emotions or recovery needs. “Everything is being digitized and reduced to numbers,” McGregor says.
Perhaps that is the quiet reminder hidden beneath all the data. “When numbers begin to shadow our days, the watch on our wrist can make us forget the body’s gentler signals,” says Dr. Zachary Walston. He adds, “Living a healthy life still means adding enjoyable habits, like evening walks or taking the stairs, and appreciating the pleasure and freedom they bring, rather than simply chasing device targets.”
8. What can we learn about fitness tracking from paragraph 1?
A. It is common among ordinary people.
B. It is adopted to treat sleep disorders.
C. It controls sports training routines.
D. It guarantees top athletic performance.
9. What makes advanced wearables different from other products?
A. They are designed specifically for night eating.
B. They reveal connections between habits and health.
C. They offer separate and independent data points.
D. They provide rich and solid physiological information.
10. What is Jess McGregor worried about regarding using wearables?
A. Reduced enjoyment in daily routines. B. Lack of timely professional guidance.
C. Mental pressure from chasing numbers. D. Physical injuries from training too hard.
11. What does Dr. Zachary Walston suggest people do?
A. Abandon fitness tracking devices. B. Predict body responses from data.
C. Listen to your physical signals. D. Set clear targets for daily exercise.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讨论了健身追踪设备在普通人生活中的普及,先进可穿戴设备揭示习惯与健康之间的联系,以及专家对于使用这些设备可能带来的心理压力的担忧。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The fitness-tracking band on his wrist reflects the close attention he gives to his body. But this once-specialized habit has gradually moved beyond professional sports, becoming part of the lives of ordinary people who want a clearer sense of their health condition.(他手腕上的运动追踪手环,反映出他对身体状况的高度关注。而这种曾经属于专业领域的习惯,已逐渐走出竞技体育,成为希望更清晰了解自身健康状况的普通人生活中的一部分)”可知,健身追踪在普通人中很常见。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some advanced models, however, go further. They show how habits like late-night eating or drinking directly influence recovery and readiness for the next day. Rather than offering separate data points, these devices track how small changes build up over time, revealing behavioral patterns that shape overall health trends.(然而,一些先进的模型更进一步。它们展示了深夜进食或饮酒等习惯如何直接影响第二天的恢复和准备状态。这些设备不是提供单独的数据点,而是追踪小变化如何随时间累积,揭示出塑造整体健康趋势的行为模式)”可知,先进的可穿戴设备能够揭示习惯与健康之间的联系。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sports dietitian Jess McGregor warns that the expectation to “train like an athlete” can push ordinary people toward perfectionism and anxiety. The urge to improve everything — sleep scores, readiness ratings, daily stress — can make lives center around numbers.(运动营养师Jess McGregor警告说,期望“像运动员一样训练”可能会让普通人走向完美主义和焦虑。想要改善一切——睡眠分数、准备程度评分、日常压力——的冲动可能会让生活围绕着数字)”可知,Jess McGregor担心追求数字带来的心理压力。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Perhaps that is the quiet reminder hidden beneath all the data. “When numbers begin to shadow our days, the watch on our wrist can make us forget the body’s gentler signals,” says Dr. Zachary Walston. (也许这就是隐藏在所有数据背后的无声提醒。“当数字开始遮蔽我们的生活,手腕上的手表可能会让我们忘记身体更微妙的信号,”Zachary Walston博士说。)”可知,Zachary Walston博士说不要让数字遮蔽我们的生活,不要忘记身体发出的更微妙的信号,建议人们倾听身体的信号。

Around Christmas, 50-year-old New Yorker Holly Jespersen felt unwell but hesitated to see a doctor. She turned to ChatGPT, which advised her against visiting. Days later, with a high fever and headaches, again using the chatbot to decide when, she finally went to urgent care and was diagnosed with influenza A.
Holly is far from alone. According to OpenAI, over 40 million daily health-related enquiry, with 230 million weekly. In January, it announced ChatGPT Health, allowing users to upload medical records for customized (定制的) support. The company stresses it is meant to “support, not replace” medical care, not for diagnosis or treatment, but to help with everyday questions and pattern recognition.
Yet concerns arise. Family physician Dr. Alexa Mieses Malchuk warns that ChatGPT, like WebMD, prioritizes being helpful over accurate. A 2023 study found ChatGPT’s cancer treatment plans contained many errors, some hard even for experts to detect. However, newer research on colon cancer showed its answers on symptoms and prevention were highly accurate, suggesting LLMs (大型语言模型) may assist patient education but not clinical decisions.
Beyond accuracy, psychologists highlight anxiety risks. A 2013 study confirmed that online symptom searches can intensify health anxiety, especially for those intolerant of uncertainty. Clinical psychologist Elizabeth Sadock notes that ChatGPT, always available and affirming, fuels reassurance-seeking (寻求慰藉) behavior, trapping users in a cycle of anxiety. For some patients, limiting ChatGPT use may now be part of treatment.
Privacy is another puzzle. Biomedical informatics professor Bradley Malin acknowledges OpenAI’s security efforts, but stresses ChatGPT Health falls outside HIPAA regulation. Patients may unknowingly lose legal protections when their data flows from secured medical records to an unregulated third party.
Yet some see value. Dermatologist Kumar views ChatGPT Health as educational, clarifying terms like sunscreen types, not diagnostic. He distinguishes it from WebMD’s curated, reviewed content, while ChatGPT’s AI may mislead.
Thus, ChatGPT Health enters America’s broken system as a double-edged sword: a round-the-clock assistant that may empower (赋权) patients, yet risks misinforming, over-reassuring, and exposing them to unregulated data practices.
12. Why does OpenAI launch ChatGPT Health?
A. To replace medical care totally. B. To provide consultation timely.
C. To treat the patients early. D. To diagnose diseases quickly.
13. What can we learn from paragraphs 3-5?
A. ChatGPT may lead to more risks than benefits.
B. ChatGPT is always available, helpful and accurate.
C. Psychologists advise people not to use ChatGPT.
D. People will have no privacy when using ChatGPT.
14. How does Kumar find ChatGPT?
A. It teaches patients some medical terms.
B. It can be used as an assistant to patients.
C. It can help more patients cure diseases.
D. It has more advantages than disadvantages.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward ChatGPT Health?
A. Enthusiastic and supportive. B. Cautious and optimistic.
C. Disapproving and negative. D. Critical and loyal.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍OpenAI推出的ChatGPT Health及其用途,同时分析其在准确性、焦虑风险和隐私方面的隐患与部分价值。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The company stresses it is meant to “support, not replace” medical care, not for diagnosis or treatment, but to help with everyday questions and pattern recognition.(该公司强调,它旨在“支持而非取代”医疗服务,不用于诊断或治疗,而是帮助解决日常问题和模式识别)”可知,OpenAI推出ChatGPT Health是为了帮助用户解决日常健康问题,提供及时的咨询帮助。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A 2023 study found ChatGPT’s cancer treatment plans contained many errors, some hard even for experts to detect.(2023年的一项研究发现,ChatGPT的癌症治疗方案包含许多错误,有些甚至专家都难以发现)”、第四段中的“Beyond accuracy, psychologists highlight anxiety risks.(除了准确性问题外,心理学家强调了焦虑风险)”以及第五段中的“Privacy is another puzzle.(隐私是另一个难题)”可推断,ChatGPT可能带来的风险多于益处。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Dermatologist Kumar views ChatGPT Health as educational, clarifying terms like sunscreen types, not diagnostic.(皮肤科医生Kumar认为ChatGPT Health具有教育意义,可解释防晒霜类型等术语,而非用于诊断)” 可知,Kumar认为ChatGPT可以教患者一些医学术语。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Thus, ChatGPT Health enters America’s broken system as a double-edged sword: a round-the-clock assistant that may empower (赋权) patients, yet risks misinforming, over-reassuring, and exposing them to unregulated data practices.(因此,ChatGPT Health作为一把双刃剑进入美国不完善的医疗体系:它是一个全天候的助手,可能赋予患者权力,但也存在提供错误信息、过度安慰以及使他们面临不受监管的数据操作的风险)”可推断,作者对ChatGPT Health的态度是谨慎且乐观的,既看到了其价值,也指出了其隐患。故选B项。

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。
People favor humor, as it lights up daily moments, eases awkwardness and makes every interaction warm and enjoyable. This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online. ____16____.
Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge. ____17____. For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand. ____18____ Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers.
____19____ The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility.
Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness. ____20____ Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular.
A. It is believed that humor needs to be used with great care in such communication.
B. Overuse harms professionalism.
C. It also boosts audience engagement effectively.
D. It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant.
E. A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect.
F. Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though.
G. It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people.
【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. F 20. B

【18题详解】
下文“Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts.(科学家们在社交媒体上分享实验室实验的趣味故事,往往比枯燥的学术帖子吸引更多互动)”运用具体事例说明幽默能提升观众的参与度,空格处应提出该观点,C选项“It also boosts audience engagement effectively.(它还能有效提高观众的参与度)”与段首句“humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge.(幽默简化了晦涩的科学知识。)”构成并列递进关系,引出下文的关于提升观众的参与度的具体阐释,其中“boosts audience engagement”与下文“attract more interactions”相呼应。
【19题详解】
由下文“The hidden risks deserve our attention.(其潜在的风险值得我们关注)”可知,此段转而讲述幽默在科学传播中的负面问题,空格处作为段首句,与上一段构成转折关系,起到转折过渡的作用,指出幽默有利也有弊;F选项“Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though.(不过,科学传播中的幽默是一把双刃剑)”承接上文对幽默积极作用的阐述,引出下文的弊端与风险的分析,形成转折。
【20题详解】
由上文“Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness.(合理使用幽默需要在生动表达和专业严谨之间找到平衡。既不能掩盖核心的科学信息,也不能过于肤浅而失去严肃性)”可知,前文强调使用幽默的分寸;B选项“Overuse harms professionalism.(过度使用会损害专业性)”承接上文,指出不当使用的危害,符合语境,其中“Overuse”对应上文“neither... nor...”的不当使用情况,“harms professionalism”呼应“professional precision”,且为下文“掌握平衡拉近与公众距离”作反向铺垫。

61. 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。
The English writing competition drew near. Jack, who had always struggled to put his thoughts into coherent words, determined to turn to AI for help.
He simply input the given theme of the competition, added a few key words, and hit “generate”. Much to his delight, in less than 5 minutes, the screen lit up. A vivid and well-structured essay was presented. Jack was amazed by how effortlessly the well-chosen words flowed on the page. Without a second thought, Jack signed his name and submitted the piece, ignoring the tiny voice of guilt from the bottom of his heart.
His essay stood out among hundreds of entries and was selected to represent the school in the municipal-level contest. When his English teacher, Ms. Cathy, called him to her office, Jack’s heart skipped a beat. With a gentle but firm tone, Ms. Cathy looked straight into his eyes and asked, “Jack, I need you to tell me the truth — did you write this essay entirely on your own? ” The question hung in the air, heavy and inescapable. Jack’s mind went blank for a moment. The thought of losing the chance to compete, of being laughed at by his classmates for cheating, overwhelmed him. Taking a shaky breath, he kept his eyes off the teacher and nodded, “Yes, Ms. Cathy. Every word is mine. ”
Ms. Cathy nodded, seemingly satisfied, and patted his shoulder, “That’s great. Your genuine hard work will pay off. This essay has a unique perspective, and I’m sure it will shine at the municipal contest. ” But Jack didn’t feel any joy. On the contrary, a sense of guilt weighed heavily on him. That night, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. The lie he had told kept echoing in his ears. He thought about Ms. Cathy’s trusting eyes, about the meaning of the competition, and about how proud he would have felt if he had written the essay himself. He was torn between the fear of being exposed and the desire to do the right thing.

(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

【答案】【范文1】
The next day, Jack went to the teacher’s office. His hands trembled as he knocked on the door. When Ms. Cathy looked up, he took a deep breath and confessed, “I didn’t write the essay myself — I used AI.” Tears welled up in his eyes as he explained his struggle with writing and his regret. To his surprise, Ms. Cathy smiled gently. “Honesty takes courage, Jack,” she said. “Let’s work together to improve your writing skills. The competition is about growth, not just winning.” Relieved, Jack felt a weight lift off his shoulders.
The day to announce the results of the contest came. Though Jack’s essay was disqualified, Ms. Cathy praised his integrity in front of the class. Later, she handed him a new assignment — a handwritten essay on “The Value of Honesty.” This time, Jack poured his heart into it. Weeks later, his revised work won a school award. Standing on the stage, he realized true success came not from shortcuts, but from effort and honesty. The applause he received felt sweeter than any trophy.
【范文2】
The next day, Jack went to the teacher’s office, his heart heavy with guilt. Hanging his head and with his voice shaking slightly, he summoned up all his courage to confess the truth to Ms. Cathy. He honestly admitted that he had turned to AI to generate the essay and apologized earnestly for his dishonesty and cheating in the competition. Much to his astonishment, Ms. Cathy didn’t scold him; instead, she patted his shoulder gently, praising him for his bravery to face his mistake. She emphasized that honesty was far more precious than any honor and encouraged him to rewrite the essay independently. Jack nodded firmly, a strong determination welling up in his heart to make amends for his fault through his own efforts.
The day to announce the results of the contest came. Though Jack failed to win any prize with his own written essay, he felt a great sense of relief and genuine pride from the bottom of his heart. Ms. Cathy approached him with a warm smile, telling him that he was the real winner because he had chosen honesty and courageously corrected his mistake. At that moment, Jack came to realize that the true significance of the competition was never about winning a prize, but about challenging himself, adhering to integrity and growing through his mistakes. From then on, he devoted himself to improving his writing skills diligently and resolved never to take shortcuts in his study again.
