For years,my life was measured in notifications.The moment I woke up,my hand would instinctively reach for my
smartphone.Emails,social media updates,and news alerts dictated the rhythm of my day.I was constantly connected,yet I felt
increasingly anxious and scattered.The breaking point came during a family dinner last month.I looked up to find my parents and
sister engaged in a lively conversation,while I was busy scrolling through a feed of strangers'vacation photos.I realized I was
physically present but mentally absent.
The next day,I decided to try a "digital detox."The rules were simple:no screens after 8 PM and no phone during meals.
The first two days were agonizing.I felt a phantom vibration in my pocket constantly.I found myself reaching for a device that
wasn't there.The silence in the evenings,once filled with the blue light of my screen,felt deafening.
However,by the fourth day,something shifted.I started reading the novel that had been gathering dust on my nightstand.I
actually listened to my sister's stories about her college life.I noticed the way the sunlight hit the trees in the afternoon.Without
the constant dopamine hits from likes and comments,my brain began to slow down.
I am not suggesting we should abandon technology entirely.It is a powerful tool for work and connection.But this
experiment taught me that we need to control our devices,not let them control us.Now,I still use my phone,but I have set
boundaries.I've learned that the most high-definition moments in life happen when we look up from our screens and truly see the
world around us.
24.What made the author decide to start a "digital detox"?
A.The pressure from work emails.
B.A realization during a family dinner.
C.The advice from her sister.
D.The boredom of scrolling through photos.
25.How did the author feel during the first two days of the detox?
A.Relaxed and peaceful.
B.Angry and frustrated.
C.Uncomfortable and restless.
D.Excited and energetic.
26.What positive change happened to the author by the fourth day?
A.She finished writing a novel.
B.She stopped using her phone completely.
C.She became more attentive to real life.
D.She started getting more likes on social media.
27.What is the main purpose of the text?
A.To criticize the development of smartphone technology.
B.To share a personal experience ofreducing screen time.
C.To explain the scientific reasons for phone addiction.
D.To encourage people to spend more time with family.

When engineers struggle to design a quieter high-speed train,they often look to the sky.Specifically,they look at the
西安高级中学2026届模拟预测英语试题(5)第4页共10页
kingfisher,a bird that can dive into water with barely a splash.This approach is called biomimicry-innovation inspired by nature.
It is based on the idea that after 3.8 billion years of evolution,nature has already solved many of the problems we face today.
One of the most famous examples of biomimicry is the Japanese Shinkansen bullet train.Originally,the train created a loud
sonic boom when exiting tunnels due to air pressure build-up.An engineer,who was also a bird-watcher,redesigned the train's
nose to mimic the long,sharp beak of the kingfisher.This change not only eliminated the noise but also made the train 10%faster
and 15%more energy-efficient.
Another fascinating application is in architecture.The Eastgate Centre in Zimbabwe uses a cooling system inspired by
termite mounds.Termites maintain a constant temperature inside their mounds despite the fluctuating heat outside by opening and
closing a series of heating and cooling vents.Similarly,the Eastgate Centre uses natural convection currents to regulate
temperature,using 90%less energy than conventional buildings of the same size.
Biomimicry is not just about copying shapes;it is about understanding the principles behind them.As we face global
challenges like climate change and resource depletion,looking to nature for sustainable solutions is becoming more critical.From
Velcro,which was inspired by burrs sticking to a dog's fur,to wind turbine blades modeled after whale fins,nature proves to be
the ultimate research and development laboratory.
28.Why does the author mention the kingfisher in Paragraph 1?
A.To explain how birds catch fish in the water.
B.To introduce the concept of biomimicry.
C.To describe the habitat of the kingfisher.
D.To compare birds with high-speed trains.
29.What was the result of redesigning the Shinkansen train?
A.It became quieter and more efficient.
B.It could carry more passengers.
C.It became slower but safer.
D.It eliminated the need for tunnels.
30.How does the Eastgate Centre save energy?
A.By using solar panels on the roof.
B.By copying the termite's method of temperature control.
C.By planting trees around the building.
D.By using materials from termite mounds.
31.What is the author's attitude towards biomimicry?
A.Skeptical.
B.Indifferent.
C.Critical.
D.Positive

For much of the 20th century,nostalgia was dismissed by the medical community as a neurological disorder,a form of
melancholia akin to depression.However,contemporary neuroscientific research has radically redefined this emotion,
revealing it as a complex psychological resource that plays a crucial role in maintaining mental well-being and cognitive
continuity.
Modern studies utilizing functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI)have pinpointed the neural correlates of
nostalgia.When individuals recall nostalgic memories,there is marked activation in the medial prefrontal cortex(mPFC),a
西安高级中学2026届模拟预测英语试题(5)第5页共10页
region associated with self-reflection and autobiographical memory retrieval.Simultaneously,the brain's reward system,
specifically the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental area,releases dopamine.This neurochemical reaction suggests that
nostalgia is not merely a passive reflection on the past,but an active mechanism that generates positive affect to counteract
present distress
One of the most profound functions of nostalgia is its ability to bolster one's sense of"self-continuity."Life is replete
with disruptive transitions-moving to a new city,changing careers,or losing a loved one-that can fragment our identity.
Nostalgia acts as a psychological buffer,bridging the gap between our past and present selves.By revisiting cherished
memories,individuals reaffirm their core values and narrative identity,thereby reducing existential anxiety.Research
indicates that individuals primed with nostalgic reflections demonstrate greater optimism about the future and higher
resilience against stress.
Furthermore,nostalgia serves a vital social function.It is inherently social;nostalgic narratives almost invariably
involve significant others-family,friends,or pivotal life events shared with peers.This recollection triggers the release of
oxytocin,often dubbed the"bonding hormone,"which enhances feelings of empathy and trust.Consequently,nostalgia can
alleviate loneliness by fostering a sense of social connectedness,even when one is physically isolated.It reminds us that we
are embedded in a web of meaningful relationships that transcend time.
However,the mechanism is not without its nuances.While adaptive nostalgia promotes psychological health,excessive
rumination on an idealized past can lead to maladaptive behaviors,preventing individuals from engaging with current
realities.The key lies in the brain's ability to integrate these memories constructively.As neuroscientists continue to map the
intricate pathways of memory and emotion,it becomes increasingly clear that looking backward is often the most effective
way for the human brain to propel itself forward.
32.According to the passage,how has the perception of nostalgia changed over time?
A.It was once considered a physical illness but is now seen as a neurological disorder.
B.It was previously viewed as a mental weakness but is now recognized as a psychological asset.
C.It has always been regarded as a sign of depression and melancholia.
D.It was thought to be beneficial in the past but is now considered harmful to mental health.
33.What can be inferred about the role of dopamine in nostalgic experiences?
A.It is responsible for the fragmentation of identity during stressful transitions.
B.It causes individuals to lose touch with their autobiographical memories
C.It contributes to the positive emotional response generated by recalling the past.
D.It inhibits the activity of the medial prefrontal cortex during self-reflection.
34.The author mentions "self-continuity"in Paragraph 3 to explain
A.how nostalgia helps maintain a stable sense of identity amidst life changes
B.why people tend to forget their past when they move to new cities
C.the biological process of memory retrieval in the human brain
D.the difference between existential anxiety and general stress
35.Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A.Nostalgia is a double-edged sword that primarily causes people to dwell on the past and ignore the present.
B.The release of oxytocin is the sole reason why nostalgia is effective in treating social isolation and loneliness.
C.Neuroscience reveals that nostalgia is a complex,adaptive mechanism that benefits mental health and social connection.
D.Functional magnetic resonance imaging has proven that nostalgia is identical to the brain's reward system.

In an era dominated by 15-second video clips and algorithmic news feeds,the art of deep reading is facing an unprecedented
crisis.We are becoming efficient scanners,adept at skimming for keywords,yet we are losing the capacity for"cognitive
patience"-the ability to engage with complex texts for extended periods.This shift is not merely a change in habit;it is a
fundamental alteration of our neural circuitry.(36)_
The human brain is not hardwired for reading;unlike spoken language,reading is an acquired skill that requires the brain to
forge new connections.When we read deeply,we engage in a sophisticated process of inference,critical analysis,and empathy.
We step into the shoes of characters and navigate intricate arguments.(37)Without this immersion,our ability to
understand nuanced perspectives diminishes.
The danger lies in what neuroscientists call"cognitive atrophy."If we consistently opt for bite-sized information,the neural
pathways required for deep comprehension may weaken.(38)We might find ourselves unable to follow a complex novel
or a dense academic paper,not because we lack intelligence,but because our brains have adapted to a diet of intellectual fast food.
However,reclaiming our ability to read deeply is entirely possible.It requires a conscious effort to disconnect from digital
distractions and immerse oneself in long-form content.(39)It is about training the mind to resist the urge to click away
and to find pleasure in the slow unraveling of a narrative or an argument.
Ultimately,preserving the habit of deep reading is about preserving our humanity.It is the primary tool we have for
cultivating a rich inner life and a critical mind.(40)If we allow this skill to perish,we risk becoming a society of
superficial thinkers,easily swayed and incapable of deep reflection.
A.This plasticity means that what we read and how we read shapes the very structure of our brains.
B.Therefore,the decline of reading is actually a decline in our capacity for complex thought.
C.Many people believe that technology has made information more accessible than ever before.
D.This does not necessarily mean reading for hours on end,but rather reading with intent and focus.
E.Such a loss would be irreversible,as the brain loses its ability to form new connections after a certain age.
F.Instead of fostering a generation of critical thinkers,we risk raising a generation that skims the surface of reality.
G.This deep engagement fosters empathy,allowing us to simulate the emotional lives of others within our own minds.

In the quiet,dust-moted corners of the British Museum,a silent battle is being waged against the relentless march of time.
Here,the "restorers"work with a blend of scientific precision and artistic intuition.Their mission is not to make ancient artifacts
look new,but to stabilize them,preserving the 41 of history for future generations.
One such artifact is a fractured Roman vase,shattered into hundreds of pieces.To the untrained eye,it is a pile of 42 shards.
To the restorer,it is a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle waiting to be solved.The process begins with meticulous cleaning.Every
speck of dirt must be removed,not with harsh chemicals,but with gentle solvents that respect the 43 material.
The most challenging phase is the reassembly.The restorer must hold the fragile pieces together,often without adhesive at
first,to understand the 44 structure.It requires a steady hand and immense patience.A moment of 45 could result in inreversible
damage."You have to listen to the object,"says Elena,a senior conservator."It tells you where it wants to go."
Once the structure is understood,a reversible adhesive is applied.The choice of glue is critical;it must be strong enough to
hold the weight but 46 enough to be removed by future conservators who might have better technology.This principle of
reversibility is the 47 of modern conservation ethics.We do not impose our will on the past;we merely 48 it.
There are gaps,of course-missing pieces that were lost centuries ago.In the past,restorers might have 49 these gaps with

new clay,trying to deceive the viewer.Today,the philosophy is different.Missing parts are filled with a neutral material,clearly
50 from the original,so that the viewer can distinguish between the ancient craft and the modern repair.Honesty,in this
profession,is 51
The work is slow,often taking months for a single object.It is not a job for those seeking 52 gratification.The reward is
subtle.It comes in the quiet satisfaction of seeing a broken object become whole again,or in the knowledge that a piece of human
heritage has been 53 from the jaws of oblivion.
In a world that values speed and novelty,these restorers stand as guardians of 54.They remind us that while empires fall
and civilizations crumble,the human touch-the fingerprint on the clay,the brushstroke on the canvas-can 55,if only we care
enough to save it.

The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence(AD)has sparked a heated debate regarding its potential impact on human
creativity.For decades,artistic expression was considered a uniquely human trait,immune to the logic of algorithms.However,
the recent (56)(establish)of generative AI models has challenged this long-held assumption,forcing us to reconsider the very
nature of creativity.
Critics argue that AI merely mimics existing patterns,producing works that are(57)(fill)with derivative elements but lack
genuine soul.They fear that an over-reliance on these tools might lead to a homogenization of culture,where(58)(season)trends
dictate artistic output.Consequently,many artists approach this technology (59)(cautious),wary of being replaced by machines.
Yet,a growing number of visionaries see AI not as a rival,but as a catalyst.They point out that the art world (60)(undergo)
significant transformations before,from the invention of the camera to the rise of digital design.In this view,AI serves as a
collaborator,handling the tedious aspects of creation and freeing humans to focus on conceptual innovation.What matters is not
(61)(pass)judgment on the tool,but how we choose to wield it.
Ultimately,the synergy between human intuition and machine efficiency holds immense promise.AI(62)(provide)the raw
computational power,while humans provide the emotional depth and ethical framework.It is this partnership (63)will define the
next Renaissance.By embracing (64)AI offers,we may discover that technology does not diminish our humanity,but rather (65)

67.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Leo and Sam had been inseparable since primary school,but high school brought changes.Leo,once a promising
basketball player,started hanging out with a rough crowd,skipping practices and letting his grades slip.Sam,the class monitor,
tried to talk sense into him,but Leo brushed him off,accusing Sam of being a "teacher's pet"who didn't understand real life.
Their friendship hung by a thread.
One afternoon,Mr.Henderson,their strict but fair math teacher,called Leo into his office.Leo walked in,expecting a
lecture about his recent failing grade.Instead,Mr.Henderson slid a crumpled piece of paper across the desk."I found this in the
hallway.It has your name on it,"he said quietly.It was a sketch Leo had drawn-a detailed portrait of Sam looking disappointed.
Leo felt a surge of anger.He assumed Sam had found the drawing,laughed at it,and handed it to Mr.Henderson to get him in
more trouble."He sent you this to mock me,didn't he?"Leo snapped,grabbing the paper."Fine.I'm done with him,and I'
m done with this class."He stormed out,leaving Mr.Henderson looking helpless.
The next day at school,Leo avoided Sam completely.During the lunch break,Leo sat alone under a tree,tearing the sketch
into tiny pieces.He felt a mix of betrayal and loneliness.Just then,Mr.Henderson approached him,not with a stern look,but with
two ice creams.He sat down beside Leo."You know,Leo,"the teacher started,"Sam didn't give me that paper to get you in
trouble.He found it on the floor and brought it to me because he was worried.He told me you've been drawing instead of
sleeping,and that you look exhausted."
Leo froze,the ice cream melting in his hand.Mr.Henderson continued,"He didn't want you to burn out.He misses his
西安高级中学2026届模拟预测英语试题(5)第9页共10页
best friend."The teacher pointed to the trash can where Leo had thrown the torn pieces."Art is a gift,Leo.But destroying
friendships over a misunderstanding is a waste.Sam is waiting for you on the court.He brought your old basketball."

Paragraph 1:
Leo looked towards the basketball court,his heart pounding.There stood Sam,bouncing the worn-out basketball
rhythmically,his eyes scanning the crowd until they locked onto Leo's.The anger that had fueled Leo moments ago
evaporated,replaced by a wave of guilt and relief.Mr.Henderson was right;it was all a misunderstanding bom of his own
insecurity.Clutching the melting ice cream,Leo stood up and jogged towards the court.Seeing Leo approach,Sam stopped
dribbling and offered a tentative,yet warm smile."Thought you'd never show up,"Sam said,tossing the ball to him.Leo
caught it,the familiar leather texture grounding him."I'm sorry,man,"Leo choked out,his voice thick with emotion."I
messed up.Sam just punched him lightly on the shoulder,"Forget it.Let's play."
Paragraph 2:
Mr.Henderson watched them from a distance,a smile appearing on his face.The sight of the two boys laughing
and running across the court,sweat glistening under the afternoon sun,was far more rewarding than any perfect test score.
He saw Leo pass the ball to Sam,who then set a screen for Leo to take a shot-a perfect display of their renewed teamwork
and trust.The teacher knew that while he could teach them mathematics,life lessons about trust and forgiveness were best
learned on the court.As the bell rang,signaling the end of the break,Mr.Henderson turned back to the classroom,content
in the knowledge that he hadn't just taught a student today;he had helped save a friendship.

For years, my life was measured in notifications. The moment I woke up, my hand would instinctively reach for my smartphone. Emails, social media updates, and news alerts dictated the rhythm of my day. I was constantly connected, yet I felt increasingly anxious and scattered. The breaking point came during a family dinner last month. I looked up to find my parents and sister engaged in a lively conversation, while I was busy scrolling through a feed of strangers' vacation photos. I realized I was physically present but mentally absent.
The next day, I decided to try a “digital detox.” The rules were simple: no screens after 8 PM and no phone during meals. The first two days were agonizing. I felt a phantom vibration in my pocket constantly. I found myself reaching for a device that wasn't there. The silence in the evenings, once filled with the blue light of my screen, felt deafening.
However, by the fourth day, something shifted. I started reading the novel that had been gathering dust on my nightstand. I actually listened to my sister’s stories about her college life. I noticed the way the sunlight hit the trees in the afternoon. Without the constant dopamine hits from likes and comments, my brain began to slow down.
I am not suggesting we should abandon technology entirely. It is a powerful tool for work and connection. But this experiment taught me that we need to control our devices, not let them control us. Now, I still use my phone, but I have set boundaries. I’ve learned that the most high-definition moments in life happen when we look up from our screens and truly see the world around us.
24. What made the author decide to start a “digital detox”?
A. The pressure from work emails.
B. A realization during a family dinner.
C. The advice from her sister.
D. The boredom of scrolling through photos.
25. How did the author feel during the first two days of the detox?
A. Relaxed and peaceful.
B. Angry and frustrated.
C. Uncomfortable and restless.
D. Excited and energetic.
26. What positive change happened to the author by the fourth day?
A. She finished writing a novel.
B. She stopped using her phone completely.
C. She became more attentive to real life.
D. She started getting more likes on social media.
27. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To criticize the development of smartphone technology.
B. To share a personal experience of reducing screen time.
C. To explain the scientific reasons for phone addiction.
D. To encourage people to spend more time with family.
C
When engineers struggle to design a quieter high-speed train, they often look to the sky. Specifically, they look at the kingfisher, a bird that can dive into water with barely a splash. This approach is called biomimicry—innovation inspired by nature. It is based on the idea that after 3.8 billion years of evolution, nature has already solved many of the problems we face today.
One of the most famous examples of biomimicry is the Japanese Shinkansen bullet train. Originally, the train created a loud sonic boom when exiting tunnels due to air pressure build-up. An engineer, who was also a bird-watcher, redesigned the train’s nose to mimic the long, sharp beak of the kingfisher. This change not only eliminated the noise but also made the train 10% faster and 15% more energy-efficient.
Another fascinating application is in architecture. The Eastgate Centre in Zimbabwe uses a cooling system inspired by termite mounds. Termites maintain a constant temperature inside their mounds despite the fluctuating heat outside by opening and closing a series of heating and cooling vents. Similarly, the Eastgate Centre uses natural convection currents to regulate temperature, using 90% less energy than conventional buildings of the same size.
Biomimicry is not just about copying shapes; it is about understanding the principles behind them. As we face global challenges like climate change and resource depletion, looking to nature for sustainable solutions is becoming more critical. From Velcro, which was inspired by burrs sticking to a dog's fur, to wind turbine blades modeled after whale fins, nature proves to be the ultimate research and development laboratory.
28. Why does the author mention the kingfisher in Paragraph 1?
A. To explain how birds catch fish in the water.
B. To introduce the concept of biomimicry.
C. To describe the habitat of the kingfisher.
D. To compare birds with high-speed trains.
29. What was the result of redesigning the Shinkansen train?
A. It became quieter and more efficient.
B. It could carry more passengers.
C. It became slower but safer.
D. It eliminated the need for tunnels.
30. How does the Eastgate Centre save energy?
A. By using solar panels on the roof.
B. By copying the termite's method of temperature control.
C. By planting trees around the building.
D. By using materials from termite mounds.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards biomimicry?
A. Skeptical.
B. Indifferent.
C. Critical.
D. Positive.
D
For much of the 20th century, nostalgia was dismissed by the medical community as a neurological disorder, a form of melancholia akin to depression. However, contemporary neuroscientific research has radically redefined this emotion, revealing it as a complex psychological resource that plays a crucial role in maintaining mental well-being and cognitive continuity.
Modern studies utilizing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have pinpointed the neural correlates of nostalgia. When individuals recall nostalgic memories, there is marked activation in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), a region associated with self-reflection and autobiographical memory retrieval. Simultaneously, the brain’s reward system, specifically the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental area, releases dopamine. This neurochemical reaction suggests that nostalgia is not merely a passive reflection on the past, but an active mechanism that generates positive affect to counteract present distress.
One of the most profound functions of nostalgia is its ability to bolster one's sense of "self-continuity." Life is replete with disruptive transitions—moving to a new city, changing careers, or losing a loved one—that can fragment our identity. Nostalgia acts as a psychological buffer, bridging the gap between our past and present selves. By revisiting cherished memories, individuals reaffirm their core values and narrative identity, thereby reducing existential anxiety. Research indicates that individuals primed with nostalgic reflections demonstrate greater optimism about the future and higher resilience against stress.
Furthermore, nostalgia serves a vital social function. It is inherently social; nostalgic narratives almost invariably involve significant others—family, friends, or pivotal life events shared with peers. This recollection triggers the release of oxytocin, often dubbed the "bonding hormone," which enhances feelings of empathy and trust. Consequently, nostalgia can alleviate loneliness by fostering a sense of social connectedness, even when one is physically isolated. It reminds us that we are embedded in a web of meaningful relationships that transcend time.
However, the mechanism is not without its nuances. While adaptive nostalgia promotes psychological health, excessive rumination on an idealized past can lead to maladaptive behaviors, preventing individuals from engaging with current realities. The key lies in the brain's ability to integrate these memories constructively. As neuroscientists continue to map the intricate pathways of memory and emotion, it becomes increasingly clear that looking backward is often the most effective way for the human brain to propel itself forward.
32. According to the passage, how has the perception of nostalgia changed over time?
A. It was once considered a physical illness but is now seen as a neurological disorder.
B. It was previously viewed as a mental weakness but is now recognized as a psychological asset.
C. It has always been regarded as a sign of depression and melancholia.
D. It was thought to be beneficial in the past but is now considered harmful to mental health.
33. What can be inferred about the role of dopamine in nostalgic experiences?
A. It is responsible for the fragmentation of identity during stressful transitions.
B. It causes individuals to lose touch with their autobiographical memories.
C. It contributes to the positive emotional response generated by recalling the past.
D. It inhibits the activity of the medial prefrontal cortex during self-reflection.
34. The author mentions "self-continuity" in Paragraph 3 to explain ______.
A. how nostalgia helps maintain a stable sense of identity amidst life changes
B. why people tend to forget their past when they move to new cities
C. the biological process of memory retrieval in the human brain
D. the difference between existential anxiety and general stress
35. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A. Nostalgia is a double-edged sword that primarily causes people to dwell on the past and ignore the present.
B. The release of oxytocin is the sole reason why nostalgia is effective in treating social isolation and loneliness.
C. Neuroscience reveals that nostalgia is a complex, adaptive mechanism that benefits mental health and social connection.
D. Functional magnetic resonance imaging has proven that nostalgia is identical to the brain's reward system.

In an era dominated by 15-second video clips and algorithmic news feeds, the art of deep reading is facing an unprecedented crisis. We are becoming efficient scanners, adept at skimming for keywords, yet we are losing the capacity for "cognitive patience"—the ability to engage with complex texts for extended periods. This shift is not merely a change in habit; it is a fundamental alteration of our neural circuitry. (36)______
The human brain is not hardwired for reading; unlike spoken language, reading is an acquired skill that requires the brain to forge new connections. When we read deeply, we engage in a sophisticated process of inference, critical analysis, and empathy. We step into the shoes of characters and navigate intricate arguments. (37)______ Without this immersion, our ability to understand nuanced perspectives diminishes.
The danger lies in what neuroscientists call "cognitive atrophy." If we consistently opt for bite-sized information, the neural pathways required for deep comprehension may weaken. (38)______ We might find ourselves unable to follow a complex novel or a dense academic paper, not because we lack intelligence, but because our brains have adapted to a diet of intellectual fast food.
However, reclaiming our ability to read deeply is entirely possible. It requires a conscious effort to disconnect from digital distractions and immerse oneself in long-form content. (39)______ It is about training the mind to resist the urge to click away and to find pleasure in the slow unraveling of a narrative or an argument.
Ultimately, preserving the habit of deep reading is about preserving our humanity. It is the primary tool we have for cultivating a rich inner life and a critical mind. (40)______ If we allow this skill to perish, we risk becoming a society of superficial thinkers, easily swayed and incapable of deep reflection.
A. This plasticity means that what we read and how we read shapes the very structure of our brains.
B. Therefore, the decline of reading is actually a decline in our capacity for complex thought.
C. Many people believe that technology has made information more accessible than ever before.
D. This does not necessarily mean reading for hours on end, but rather reading with intent and focus.
E. Such a loss would be irreversible, as the brain loses its ability to form new connections after a certain age.
F. Instead of fostering a generation of critical thinkers, we risk raising a generation that skims the surface of reality.
G. This deep engagement fosters empathy, allowing us to simulate the emotional lives of others within our own minds.

In the quiet, dust-moted corners of the British Museum, a silent battle is being waged against the relentless march of time. Here, the "restorers" work with a blend of scientific precision and artistic intuition. Their mission is not to make ancient artifacts look new, but to stabilize them, preserving the 41 of history for future generations.
One such artifact is a fractured Roman vase, shattered into hundreds of pieces. To the untrained eye, it is a pile of 42 shards. To the restorer, it is a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle waiting to be solved. The process begins with meticulous cleaning. Every speck of dirt must be removed, not with harsh chemicals, but with gentle solvents that respect the 43 material.
The most challenging phase is the reassembly. The restorer must hold the fragile pieces together, often without adhesive at first, to understand the 44 structure. It requires a steady hand and immense patience. A moment of 45 could result in irreversible damage. "You have to listen to the object," says Elena, a senior conservator. "It tells you where it wants to go."
Once the structure is understood, a reversible adhesive is applied. The choice of glue is critical; it must be strong enough to hold the weight but 46 enough to be removed by future conservators who might have better technology. This principle of reversibility is the 47 of modern conservation ethics. We do not impose our will on the past; we merely 48 it.
There are gaps, of course—missing pieces that were lost centuries ago. In the past, restorers might have 49 these gaps with new clay, trying to deceive the viewer. Today, the philosophy is different. Missing parts are filled with a neutral material, clearly 50 from the original, so that the viewer can distinguish between the ancient craft and the modern repair. Honesty, in this profession, is 51.
The work is slow, often taking months for a single object. It is not a job for those seeking 52 gratification. The reward is subtle. It comes in the quiet satisfaction of seeing a broken object become whole again, or in the knowledge that a piece of human heritage has been 53 from the jaws of oblivion.
In a world that values speed and novelty, these restorers stand as guardians of 54. They remind us that while empires fall and civilizations crumble, the human touch—the fingerprint on the clay, the brushstroke on the canvas—can 55, if only we care enough to save it.

The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has sparked a heated debate regarding its potential impact on human creativity. For decades, artistic expression was considered a uniquely human trait, immune to the logic of algorithms. However, the recent (56) (establish) of generative AI models has challenged this long-held assumption, forcing us to reconsider the very nature of creativity.
Critics argue that AI merely mimics existing patterns, producing works that are (57) (fill) with derivative elements but lack genuine soul. They fear that an over-reliance on these tools might lead to a homogenization of culture, where (58) (season) trends dictate artistic output. Consequently, many artists approach this technology (59) (cautious), wary of being replaced by machines.
Yet, a growing number of visionaries see AI not as a rival, but as a catalyst. They point out that the art world (60) (undergo) significant transformations before, from the invention of the camera to the rise of digital design. In this view, AI serves as a collaborator, handling the tedious aspects of creation and freeing humans to focus on conceptual innovation. What matters is not (61) (pass) judgment on the tool, but how we choose to wield it.
Ultimately, the synergy between human intuition and machine efficiency holds immense promise. AI (62) (provide) the raw computational power, while humans provide the emotional depth and ethical framework. It is this partnership (63) will define the next Renaissance. By embracing (64) AI offers, we may discover that technology does not diminish our humanity, but rather (65) (offer) a new canvas for our imagination.

67.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Leo and Sam had been inseparable since primary school, but high school brought changes. Leo, once a promising basketball player, started hanging out with a rough crowd, skipping practices and letting his grades slip. Sam, the class monitor, tried to talk sense into him, but Leo brushed him off, accusing Sam of being a “teacher’s pet” who didn’t understand real life. Their friendship hung by a thread.
One afternoon, Mr. Henderson, their strict but fair math teacher, called Leo into his office. Leo walked in, expecting a lecture about his recent failing grade. Instead, Mr. Henderson slid a crumpled piece of paper across the desk. “I found this in the hallway. It has your name on it,” he said quietly. It was a sketch Leo had drawn—a detailed portrait of Sam looking disappointed. Leo felt a surge of anger. He assumed Sam had found the drawing, laughed at it, and handed it to Mr. Henderson to get him in more trouble. “He sent you this to mock me, didn’t he?” Leo snapped, grabbing the paper. “Fine. I’m done with him, and I’m done with this class.” He stormed out, leaving Mr. Henderson looking helpless.
The next day at school, Leo avoided Sam completely. During the lunch break, Leo sat alone under a tree, tearing the sketch into tiny pieces. He felt a mix of betrayal and loneliness. Just then, Mr. Henderson approached him, not with a stern look, but with two ice creams. He sat down beside Leo. “You know, Leo,” the teacher started, “Sam didn’t give me that paper to get you in trouble. He found it on the floor and brought it to me because he was worried. He told me you’ve been drawing instead of sleeping, and that you look exhausted.”
Leo froze, the ice cream melting in his hand. Mr. Henderson continued, “He didn’t want you to burn out. He misses his best friend.” The teacher pointed to the trash can where Leo had thrown the torn pieces. “Art is a gift, Leo. But destroying friendships over a misunderstanding is a waste. Sam is waiting for you on the court. He brought your old basketball.”

短对话(1-5题)
Text 1
The lecture on quantum physics was supposed to start at nine clock, but Professor Higgins hasn't shown up yet.
I just saw him in the hallway. He said his car wouldn't start, so he's running about 15 minutes late.
Text 2
M: I'm thinking of buying this leather jacket. It's on sale for $150, which is 25% off.
W: That's still quite pricey. Why not check the outlet store downtown? They usually have better deals on winter wear.
Text 3
W: Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the nearest subway station? I'm a bit lost.
M: Sure. Go straight for two blocks, then turn left at the pharmacy. You'll see the entrance right across the street.
Text 4
M: Are you going to the company picnic this Saturday?
W: I'd love to, but I have to finish the quarterly report by Monday morning. My boss is expecting it on his desk first thing.
Text 5
W: The air conditioner in the living room is making a strange noise again.
M: I'll take a look at it after dinner. It probably just needs a filter cleaning. If not, we might need to call a technician.
长对话与独白(6-20题)
Text 6 (Questions 6-7)
M: Honey, have you seen the blue sweater I bought last week? I can't find it anywhere.
W: The one with the zipper? I put it in the washing machine yesterday. It had a coffee stain on the sleeve.
M: Oh no! I haven't washed that in ages. Was the stain bad?
W: Not really, but I thought it needed a refresh. By the way, while I was doing laundry, I noticed your white shirt shrank a bit.
M: Great. Just great. I need that for the meeting tomorrow.
W: Don't worry, I think it's still wearable. Just don't put it in the dryer next time.
Text 7 (Questions 8-10)
W: So, for our summer vacation, are we still thinking about Italy?
M: Well, flights to Rome are incredibly expensive this year. I was looking at some packages for Greece instead.
W: Greece sounds lovely. Which islands were you looking at?
M: Mostly Santorini and Crete. The hotels in Santorini have those amazing views of the sunset, but they book up months in advance.
W: That sounds perfect. How long is the trip?
M: The package is for 10 days. It includes flights, accommodation, and a guided tour of the Acropolis if we stop in Athens on the way back.
W: Count me in! I'll start packing my summer dresses.
Text 8 (Questions 11-14)
M: Good morning, Mrs. Thompson. What seems to be the trouble today?
W: Well, Doctor, I've had this persistent cough for about two weeks now. And I feel incredibly tired all the time.
M: Have you been running a fever?
W: A little bit in the evenings, nothing too high. Around 37.5 degrees.
M: Let me listen to your lungs. Take a deep breath... and exhale. Okay, your chest sounds a bit congested. I suspect it might be a mild case of bronchitis.
W: Is it serious? Do I need to stay in bed?
M: I wouldn't say it's serious, but you definitely need rest. I'm going to prescribe some antibiotics and cough syrup. Make sure to drink plenty of water and avoid cold air.
W: Thank you, Doctor. Should I come back for a check-up?
M: If the fever doesn't go down in three days, please come back immediately. Otherwise, finish the medication and you should be fine.
Text 9 (Questions 15-17)
W: Hey Mark, did you see the email from Professor Davis about the history essay?
M: Yeah, I did. I'm actually really stressed about it. The deadline is next Friday, and I haven't even chosen a topic yet.
W: Really? I thought you were interested in the Industrial Revolution.
M: I am, but the reading list is huge. I'm worried I won't be able to finish all the references in time. What are you writing about?
W: I'm focusing on the impact of the internet on modern education. It's a bit broad, so I'm trying to narrow it down to primary schools.
M: That sounds manageable. Do you think I should switch topics?
W: Maybe. Or you could just focus on one specific aspect of the Industrial Revolution, like child labor laws. That way, you have fewer sources to go through.
M: That's a good idea. I'll talk to the professor tomorrow and see what he thinks. Thanks, Sarah.
Text 10 (Questions 18-20)

67.例文
Paragraph 1:
Leo looked towards the basketball court, his heart pounding. There stood Sam, bouncing the worn-out basketball rhythmically, his eyes scanning the crowd until they locked onto Leo’s. The anger that had fueled Leo moments ago evaporated, replaced by a wave of guilt and relief. Mr. Henderson was right; it was all a misunderstanding born of his own insecurity. Clutching the melting ice cream, Leo stood up and jogged towards the court. Seeing Leo approach, Sam stopped dribbling and offered a tentative, yet warm smile. “Thought you’d never show up,” Sam said, tossing the ball to him. Leo caught it, the familiar leather texture grounding him. “I’m sorry, man,” Leo choked out, his voice thick with emotion. “I messed up.” Sam just punched him lightly on the shoulder, “Forget it. Let’s play.”
Paragraph 2:
Mr. Henderson watched them from a distance, a smile appearing on his face. The sight of the two boys laughing and running across the court, sweat glistening under the afternoon sun, was far more rewarding than any perfect test score. He saw Leo pass the ball to Sam, who then set a screen for Leo to take a shot—a perfect display of their renewed teamwork and trust. The teacher knew that while he could teach them mathematics, life lessons about trust and forgiveness were best learned on the court. As the bell rang, signaling the end of the break, Mr. Henderson turned back to the classroom, content in the knowledge that he hadn’t just taught a student today; he had helped save a friendship.
