Last summer, I made a rather unusual decision to run a small bookstore in the bustling (热闹的) food market of my neighborhood. My friends cast doubt on the plan, for the market was crowded with noisy vendors (小贩) and filled with pungent food smells. Their concerns proved well-founded on its opening day. Sandwiched between a pork stall and a tofu shop, my bookstore attracted barely (几乎没有) any attention. With few customers stepping in, I felt disheartened and began to reflect on what went wrong. Never had I anticipated such a frigid beginning.
It didn’t take me long to figure out where the problem lay. I had stocked my shelves with classic novels and poetry I cherished, yet they failed to meet the needs of local residents. I therefore resolved to make a thorough change. In place of those books, I displayed home-style cookbooks, stories about street food, and food-related picture books for children. I sincerely hoped these new books would win over the locals. I also launched a “Book-for-Veggie Exchange” activity in the store.
The new adjustment turned out to be highly successful. Local people soon took to this creative idea. A young mother came first with a carrot to exchange for a picture book, and before long, my counter was overflowing with fresh vegetables. The tofu vendor’s daughter, who had watched silently for weeks on end, finally stepped forward to borrow a comic. Months later, the bookstore became a part of market life, with the scent of books blending gently with the fresh aroma of farm produce from the market. “I used to believe the existence of bookstores could only shine in quiet spots, but now I have seen their true value. It is in competing with the market that bookstores can bridge the gap between books and buyers. They become integrated and participate in the hustle and bustle, food and laughter of everyday life,” said Chen.
4. What change happened to the bookstore?
A. Doubts among its friends. B. Strong local competition.
C. Blending into market life. D. Disturbance from nearby vendors.
5. How did the bookstore win over the booklovers?
A. By selling local vegetables. B. By offering reader-targeted activities.
C. By sharing the owners’ reading lists. D. By organizing book-exchange activities.
6. What can we infer about the bookstore’s new approach?
A. It raised young children’s reading interest.
B. It faded in the young children in the community.
C. It brought the neighbors closer in daily life.
D. It proved a popular gathering spot in the neighborhood.
7. What message does the author convey by opening the bookstore?
A. Never too late to read books.
B. Books are for life, not for shelves.
C. We should read as many books as we can.
D. Business should be rooted in life.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述作者去年夏天在热闹的社区食品市场开了一家小书店,开业之初因选书不符合当地居民需求而无人问津。作者及时调整,更换书籍种类并开展 “Book-for-Veggie Exchange” 活动,使书店成功融入市场生活,体现了书店应贴近生活,发挥其连接书籍与读者的价值。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Months later, the bookstore became a part of market life, with the scent of books blending gently with the fresh aroma of farm produce from the market. (几个月后,书店成为了市场生活的一部分,书香与市场上农产品的新鲜香气温柔地交融在一起。)”可知,书店发生的变化是融入了市场生活。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I therefore resolved to make a thorough change. In place of those books, I displayed home-style cookbooks, stories about street food, and food - related picture books for children. I also launched a “Book-for-Veggie Exchange’ activity in the store.” (因此,我决定进行彻底的改变。我把那些书换成了家庭烹饪书、街头美食故事以及儿童食品相关的图画书。我还在店里发起了“以书换蔬菜”活动。)”可知,书店通过提供针对读者的活动(更换适合读者的书以及开展换书活动)赢得了读者的喜爱。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Local people soon took to this creative idea. A young mother came first with a carrot to exchange for a picture book, and before long, my counter was overflowing with fresh vegetables. The tofu vendor’s daughter, who had watched silently for weeks on end, finally stepped forward to borrow a comic. Months later, the bookstore became a part of market life, with the scent of books blending gently with the fresh aroma of farm produce from the market. (当地居民很快就喜欢上了这个新奇的想法。 一位年轻妈妈最先拿着一根胡萝卜来换一本绘本,没过多久,我的柜台就堆满了新鲜蔬菜。 豆腐摊主的女儿默默观望了好几周,终于主动上前借了一本漫画书。 几个月后,这家书店成了菜市场生活的一部分,书香与市场里农产品的清新气息悠然相融。)”可以看出,这里成了社区里一处颇受欢迎的聚集地。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““I used to believe the existence of bookstores could only shine in quiet spots, but now I have seen their true value. It is in competing with the market that bookstores can bridge the gap between books and buyers. They become integrated and participate in the hustle and bustle, food and laughter of everyday life,” said Chen. (陈先生说:“我曾经以为,书店只适合在安静的角落绽放光彩,但如今我明白了它们真正的价值。 正是置身市井烟火之中,书店才能拉近书籍与读者之间的距离。书店融入市井生活,浸润在日常的喧嚣烟火、人间百味与欢声笑语里,真正扎根于平凡生活之中。”)”作者从开书店的经历中学到了书籍不仅仅是为了放在书架上,而是为了融入生活,与人们的日常生活紧密相连。

Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence? Before the appearance of digital tools, you’d probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance.
Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don’t have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite (无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world.
The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as “picking out words for the sake of their meaning,” a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle. Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative (衍生的) communication. The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you’ll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English’s potential, writing that way is nearly impossible.
Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language. I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.
As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.
8. What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author?
A. They promise fail-safe phrases.
B. They possess academic authority.
C. They facilitate creative writing.
D. They provide ready-made expressions.
9. What does the underlined word “stifle” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Favor. B. Revise.
C. Observe. D. Discourage.
10. Why does the author mention “eaves trough” and “serviette” in paragraph 4?
A. To show how AI aids us in expressing.
B. To indicate the weakness of dictionaries.
C. To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English.
D. To illustrate how language use affects identity.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Keep Your Dictionary?
B. How to Deal with Digital Writing?
C. Who Uses Writing Assistants?
D. What to Expect from Dictionaries?
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过对比数字写作助手和字典指出,在数字写作普及的当下,字典对保留写作原创性、塑造身份认同有不可替代的作用,最后点明我们比以往更需要字典。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view.(词典让我们写作时并非依靠万无一失的便捷,而是能够展现独特性和观点)”可知,字典能帮助我们写出有原创性的内容。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前“a practice that dictionaries facilitate(字典促进这种做法)”和“while”表示的对比关系可知,stifle和facilitate含义相反,即“抑制、阻碍”,选项中discourage“阻拦、使气馁”意思一致。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。第四段开头“Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language.(我们表达自我的能力至关重要——它帮助我们定义自己是谁。词典有助于我们实现这一目标:它们通过语言将我们独特的思维方式进行分类)”点明观点:表达自我的能力帮助我们定义自身身份,字典能帮我们保留独有的语言表达。下文“I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.(我是加拿大人;我对祖国的自豪感因一些小小的加拿大式词汇而得到增强,比如“檐沟”或“餐巾纸”,这些词汇在词典中有详细记载,但在大多数情况下,人工智能聊天机器人很少使用它们)”作者举这两个加拿大特有的词汇,是为了说明:这类特有语言能增强本土身份认同感,即语言使用会影响个人/群体身份。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合最后一段“As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.(随着数字写作深入我们的生活和思维,我们对词典的需求比以往任何时候都更加迫切。放弃词典而转向机械化写作,将同等程度地削弱我们建立集体认同的能力和表达自我的能力)”可知,全文对比数字写作助手和字典,层层论述:在数字写作普及的当下,字典对保留写作原创性、塑造身份认同有不可替代的作用,结尾点明我们比以往更需要字典。由此可知,A项“为什么要保留字典?”适合作本文标题。故选A。
D
Secret codes (密码) once thought impossible to crack now face a challenge from quantum computers. Luckily, to protect information, physicists have developed a theoretically foolproof system called device-independent quantum key distribution (DI-QKD) , which uses entangled quantum particles (纠缠态量子粒子) to fix weak points in existing methods. Now, a team in China has demonstrated the technique in real city conditions, an advance that could clear the way for a secure quantum internet in which trust is taken for granted.
Most cryptography (密码学) works by encrypting messages with a secret code that requires a special key to decode. The challenge lies in making sure the key can’t be decoded when sent. For instance, the keys in one popular encryption scheme are based on the prime factors of large numbers, which take enormous effort to crack. But such calculations could be quick work for the large quantum computers. QKD offers a solution, but it has a weakness: hardware must be perfect.
DI-QKD removes the need for trust in the hardware, by employing another feature of quantum mechanics — entanglement — which closely links properties of widely separated quantum particles. If the sender and receiver entangle a pair of particles across the network, they can each perform tests that confirm the particles’ properties are strongly linked, well beyond chance. After this “handshake”, they can be sure they’re the only ones on the channel. Then, other measurements on the entangled particles can establish a key, which can be shared with confidence that nobody can decode it.
In 2022, a UK-based team managed to create and share a DI-QKD key for only about 2 meters. Now, Jianwei Pan and his colleagues have extended this to practically useful distances. After collecting data for 26 days, they showed they had the statistics to establish and share a key across 11 kilometers. The researchers also showed that in theory — and given about 23 years for data collection — they could have sent a key across 100 kilometers. Pan’s group now plans to explore ways to perform DI-QKD using satellites in space.
12. What is the advance made by Chinese scientists?
A. They put forward a coding theory.
B. They enhanced DI-QKD practicality.
C. They set up the quantum internet.
D. They discovered quantum entanglement.
13. The author explains the encryption principle by __________.
A. providing a definition B. making a comparison
C. giving an example D. citing a statement
14. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. What entanglement is.
B. How DI-QKD works.
C. What prevents key sharing.
D. How particles connect.
15. What is the limitation implied in the last paragraph?
A. Long data collection time.
B. Strict laboratory conditions.
C. Unstable entangled particles.
D. Heavy reliance on satellites.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了传统密码面临量子计算机挑战,科学家研发出 DI‑QKD 系统。中国团队在真实城市环境实现 11 公里密钥分发,大幅提升实用性,但仍存在数据收集时间过长的局限。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now, a team in China has demonstrated the technique in real city conditions, an advance that could clear the way for a secure quantum internet in which trust is taken for granted.( 如今,中国的一个团队在实际城市环境中展示了这一技术,这一进展可能为建立一个无需信任的可靠量子互联网铺平道路)”以及第四段中“Now, Jianwei Pan and his colleagues have extended this to practically useful distances.( 如今,潘建伟团队已经将这一技术扩展到了具有实际应用价值的距离范围内)”可知,中国团队在真实城市环境中验证了 DI-QKD 技术,并将距离拓展到实际可用范围,提升了其实用性。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“For instance, the keys in one popular encryption scheme are based on the prime factors of large numbers, which take enormous effort to crack. But such calculations could be quick work for the large quantum computers. QKD offers a solution, but it has a weakness: hardware must be perfect.( 例如,一种流行的加密方案中的密钥基于大数字的质因数,破解这些密钥需要耗费巨大的努力。但对大型量子计算机来说,这些计算将是轻而易举的事情。量子密钥分发(QKD)提供了解决方案,但它有一个弱点:硬件必须完美无缺)”可推知,作者通过给出例子来解释加密原理。故选C项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“DI-QKD removes the need for trust in the hardware, by employing another feature of quantum mechanics — entanglement — which closely links properties of widely separated quantum particles. If the sender and receiver entangle a pair of particles across the network, they can each perform tests that confirm the particles’ properties are strongly linked, well beyond chance. After this “handshake”, they can be sure they’re the only ones on the channel. Then, other measurements on the entangled particles can establish a key, which can be shared with confidence that nobody can decode it.( DI-QKD 通过利用量子力学的另一个特性——纠缠,消除了对硬件的信任需求。纠缠使相距很远的量子粒子的特性紧密相连。如果发送方和接收方在网络中对一对粒子进行纠缠操作,那么他们各自都可以进行测试,以证实这些粒子的特性之间存在着极强的关联,这种关联远远超出了偶然的可能性。完成这一“握手”之后,他们就能确定自己是这条通道上唯一的参与者。然后,对纠缠粒子进行的其他测量可以建立一个密钥,这个密钥可以放心地与他人分享,因为没有人能够破解它)”可知,第三段的主旨是DI-QKD 如何利用量子纠缠、如何完成“握手”、如何建立密钥,完整说明 DI-QKD 的工作流程。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“After collecting data for 26 days, they showed they had the statistics to establish and share a key across 11 kilometers. The researchers also showed that in theory — and given about 23 years for data collection — they could have sent a key across 100 kilometers.( 经过 26 天的数据收集,他们展示了他们拥有足够的统计数据来建立并分享跨越11公里的密钥。研究人员还表明,在理论上——并且假设数据收集需要约23年的时间——他们能够将密钥发送到100公里之外)”可推知,数据收集时间过长是当前局限。故选A项。

【56题详解】
考查固定句型及时态。句意:我突然想起我刚才把手机落在教室里了。“It occurs to sb. that...”是固定句型,意思是“某人突然想到……”。由“just now”可知,动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时,“occur”的过去式为“occurred”。

【58题详解】
考查动词短语及时态。句意:雨停之后,学生们前往操场享受阳光。根据后文“the playground to enjoy the sunshine.”可知,学生们前往操场享受阳光。“head to”表示“前往”。根据“After the rain stopped”可知,句子描述的是过去发生的动作,应用一般过去时,“head”的过去式为“headed”。

【详解】句意:我们通常认为,我们的生活是由那些重大时刻所决定的。表示“由……所决定”短语为be defined by,根据上文think可知为一般现在时,主语为lives,谓语用复数。
句意:针对有关医生与患者之间紧张关系的问题,一些受访者抱怨称,有关医生的误导性媒体报道严重损害了社会形象,致使公众对医疗工作者产生了不信任感。第三四五空表示“针对,作为……回应”短语为in response to,首字母大写;第六空表示“导致”用动词cause,且与上文句子构成主动关系,故用现在分词作状语。

Last summer, I made a rather unusual decision to run a small bookstore in the bustling (热闹的) food market of my neighborhood. My friends cast doubt on the plan, for the market was crowded with noisy vendors (小贩) and filled with pungent food smells. Their concerns proved well-founded on its opening day. Sandwiched between a pork stall and a tofu shop, my bookstore attracted barely (几乎没有) any attention. With few customers stepping in, I felt disheartened and began to reflect on what went wrong. Never had I anticipated such a frigid beginning.
It didn’t take me long to figure out where the problem lay. I had stocked my shelves with classic novels and poetry I cherished, yet they failed to meet the needs of local residents. I therefore resolved to make a thorough change. In place of those books, I displayed home-style cookbooks, stories about street food, and food-related picture books for children. I sincerely hoped these new books would win over the locals. I also launched a “Book-for-Veggie Exchange” activity in the store.
The new adjustment turned out to be highly successful. Local people soon took to this creative idea. A young mother came first with a carrot to exchange for a picture book, and before long, my counter was overflowing with fresh vegetables. The tofu vendor’s daughter, who had watched silently for weeks on end, finally stepped forward to borrow a comic. Months later, the bookstore became a part of market life, with the scent of books blending gently with the fresh aroma of farm produce from the market. “I used to believe the existence of bookstores could only shine in quiet spots, but now I have seen their true value. It is in competing with the market that bookstores can bridge the gap between books and buyers. They become integrated and participate in the hustle and bustle, food and laughter of everyday life,” said Chen.
4. What change happened to the bookstore?
A. Doubts among its friends. B. Strong local competition.
C. Blending into market life. D. Disturbance from nearby vendors.
5. How did the bookstore win over the booklovers?
A. By selling local vegetables. B. By offering reader-targeted activities.
C. By sharing the owners’ reading lists. D. By organizing book-exchange activities.
6. What can we infer about the bookstore’s new approach?
A. It raised young children’s reading interest.
B. It faded in the young children in the community.
C. It brought the neighbors closer in daily life.
D. It proved a popular gathering spot in the neighborhood.
7. What message does the author convey by opening the bookstore?
A. Never too late to read books.
B. Books are for life, not for shelves.
C. We should read as many books as we can.
D. Business should be rooted in life.

Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence? Before the appearance of digital tools, you’d probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance.
Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don’t have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite (无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world.
The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as “picking out words for the sake of their meaning,” a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle. Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative (衍生的) communication. The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you’ll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English’s potential, writing that way is nearly impossible.
Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language. I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.
As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.
8. What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author?
A. They promise fail-safe phrases.
B. They possess academic authority.
C. They facilitate creative writing.
D. They provide ready-made expressions.
9. What does the underlined word “stifle” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Favor. B. Revise.
C. Observe. D. Discourage.
10. Why does the author mention “eaves trough” and “serviette” in paragraph 4?
A. To show how AI aids us in expressing.
B. To indicate the weakness of dictionaries.
C. To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English.
D. To illustrate how language use affects identity.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Keep Your Dictionary?
B. How to Deal with Digital Writing?
C. Who Uses Writing Assistants?
D. What to Expect from Dictionaries?
D
Secret codes (密码) once thought impossible to crack now face a challenge from quantum computers. Luckily, to protect information, physicists have developed a theoretically foolproof system called device-independent quantum key distribution (DI-QKD) , which uses entangled quantum particles (纠缠态量子粒子) to fix weak points in existing methods. Now, a team in China has demonstrated the technique in real city conditions, an advance that could clear the way for a secure quantum internet in which trust is taken for granted.
Most cryptography (密码学) works by encrypting messages with a secret code that requires a special key to decode. The challenge lies in making sure the key can’t be decoded when sent. For instance, the keys in one popular encryption scheme are based on the prime factors of large numbers, which take enormous effort to crack. But such calculations could be quick work for the large quantum computers. QKD offers a solution, but it has a weakness: hardware must be perfect.
DI-QKD removes the need for trust in the hardware, by employing another feature of quantum mechanics — entanglement — which closely links properties of widely separated quantum particles. If the sender and receiver entangle a pair of particles across the network, they can each perform tests that confirm the particles’ properties are strongly linked, well beyond chance. After this “handshake”, they can be sure they’re the only ones on the channel. Then, other measurements on the entangled particles can establish a key, which can be shared with confidence that nobody can decode it.
In 2022, a UK-based team managed to create and share a DI-QKD key for only about 2 meters. Now, Jianwei Pan and his colleagues have extended this to practically useful distances. After collecting data for 26 days, they showed they had the statistics to establish and share a key across 11 kilometers. The researchers also showed that in theory — and given about 23 years for data collection — they could have sent a key across 100 kilometers. Pan’s group now plans to explore ways to perform DI-QKD using satellites in space.
12. What is the advance made by Chinese scientists?
A. They put forward a coding theory.
B. They enhanced DI-QKD practicality.
C. They set up the quantum internet.
D. They discovered quantum entanglement.
13. The author explains the encryption principle by __________.
A. providing a definition B. making a comparison
C. giving an example D. citing a statement
14. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. What entanglement is.
B. How DI-QKD works.
C. What prevents key sharing.
D. How particles connect.
15. What is the limitation implied in the last paragraph?
A. Long data collection time.
B. Strict laboratory conditions.
C. Unstable entangled particles.
D. Heavy reliance on satellites.
