The program was founded by Professor Marvin at Arizona State University.He grew up in a farming town as the child of immigrant farmworkers.His high school had limited funding and low expectations;college was rare for students like him.He graduated with a 1.9 GPA (Grade Point Average)and started at a community college,even earning a 0.0 GPA in his first year.With teachers'encouragement,he kept studying,and finally earned a master's degree from Johns Hopkins and a doctorate from Harvard. Marvin was approached by state education officials to create a STEM program for students from migrant farmworker families-a group often underrepresented in science.He accepted the challenge and developed a 4-year summer program hosting 50 to 80 high school students each year.They live on campus,take part in hands-on labs,and experience university life. But the most meaningful changes were not measured by numbers.Many students arrived shy and unsure.As they worked in labs and saw people who looked like them,they began asking questions and imagining futures as doctors and researchers.The program increased their interest in STEM and their college ambitions. 【高三英语第3页（共8页）】 SX The professor saw himself in these students.He once was the student with a low GPA, waiting for someone to see potential that grades could not show.Watching them,he was reminded how powerful it can be when someone finally sees in you what you could not yet see in yourself. 24.Why is the STEM program created? A.To train skilled agricultural workers. B.To connect agriculture with STEM careers. C.To promote modern agriculture technology. D.To increase the admission to the university. 25.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A.Marvin's personal growth. B.The origin of the STEM program. C.The present educational difficulties in Arizona. D.Marvin's immigrant farmworkers'background. 26.What does the underlined word "underrepresented"in the passage probably mean? A.Underprepared.B.Over-emphasized.C.Disadvantaged. D.Less-known. 27.What is the most valuable outcome of the program? A.Greater confidence and clearer future expectations. B.Improved academic performance in science subjects. C.Stronger bonds among students from similar backgrounds. D.()fficial recognition achieved from the success of the program. Are your online browsing()habits changing?If so,the answer might lie with the answer engine, It is not often that a dictionary takes someone to court.But in September 2025,the Merriam-Webster Dictionary and its parent company,Encyclopedia Britannica Inc,did exactly that.They accused an answer engine called Perplexity AI of unlawfully copying their content and reducing their ability to make money and financial income by taking away visitors from their websites.The lawsuit()also claimed that the answer engine had harmed Merriam- Webster's trademark by linking false information(made up by the AI)to the dictionary. An answer engine is an online tool that provides AI-generated responses to queries( )instead of a list of web results for users to browse themselves.In contrast with a traditional search engine,which acts as a middleman between users seeking information and web publishers who provide it,answer engines do the digging for the user by copying data from websites and summarizing it in the form of a direct answer.Even the world's largest search engine,Google,is adding AI answers above its regular search results. This shift is changing how business is done on the Internet.Fewer people are clicking through to original websites and,zero clicks means a drop in ad incomes and subscriptions. Publishing platforms and content creators are finding that their old strategy for getting noticed online,including search engine optimisation(SEO),is losing its power.They are now trying new methods,like answer engine optimization(AEO). As today's answer engines steal traffic from websites and the whole economy of the Internet finds itself in change,language relating to the Internet will change too.Users will switch from searching with keywords to asking complex questions in natural,conversational language.Terms such as traffic,hits and clicks are already giving way to content,cited sources and AI mentions.When machines start answering for us,what happens to the joy and luck of discovering for ourselves?Will we keep browsing,exploring and surfing the Internet if the active role of users is taken over by the uniform output of an answer engine? 28.Why did the Merriam-Webster Dictionary initiate a lawsuit? A.To protect the privacy of its users. B.To accuse Perplexity AI of copying. C.To prevent the spread of false information. D.To defend its trademark and financial interests. 【高三英语第4页（共8页）】 29.How is an answer engine different.from a traditional search engine? A.It helps publishers increase income. B.It creates original content not result lists. C.It acts as a final interpreter,not just a gateway. D.It provides free search engines for professionals. 30.What concern does the author express about answer engines? A.Replacing online business. B.Forcing users to pay for Al services. C.Making Internet language complicated. D.Taking away the joy of personal discovery. What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Dictionaries'New Era With Al B.The Rise and Risk of Answer Engines C.Answer Engines:From Search to Answer D.Dictionary Shift:From Paper to E-paper D If you've noticed a rebirth in low rise jeans,baby T-shirts and tracksuits among the cool kids,know that what you are witnessing isn't just the return of a trend-it's math. Fashion experts have long said that styles return every 20 years.A new study now shows this is true.Researchers looked at over 150 years of women's clothing and found that hemlines ()necklines,and waistlines become popular again about 20 years after their last appearance. Emma Zajdela,a post-doctoral researcher at Princeton University,conducted the new analysis.The analysis relied on data from the Commercial Pattern Archive,a digital database that stores tens of thousands of images of dress patterns dating back to the 1840s as well as runway photos,a database with more than 35,000 images of women's clothes. Zajdela and her team analyzed key features of women's dresses through time."The mathematical model that we're using is pretty simple,conceptually,Zajdela says."It's based on this idea from psychology called optimal distinctiveness."Optimal distinctiveness essentially says that people want to belong to a group and to still be unique in some way at the same time.When applied to fashion,it means that for a new trend or innovation to be successful,it needs to be different enough-but not too different-from existing things. It's possible that the 20-year cycle could shift in the future:it takes less time to produce new clothing and social media has given people access to more ideas,speeding up trends.But for now,the mathematical model holds up-there is just a lot more diversity in the recent data,Zajdela explains. Having established that fashion trends can be described mathematically,the researchers are interested in what similar models can tell us about other areas of human innovation. "We have this example of fashion,but it shows how human creative innovations,in general might happen,"Zajdela says."Many other kinds of innovations have this property that they need to be different from the past but not too different." 32.Why did Emma Zajdela carry out the analysis? A.To test whether fashion is truly cyclical. B.To classify various women's dress styles. C.To find new ways to guide future fashion. D.To prove the mathematical model concept. 33.What does "optimal distinctiveness"focus on? A.The need to change fashion constantly. B.The difference between old and new trends. C.The importance of following group behavior. D.The balance between uniqueness and belonging. 【高三英语第5页（共8页）】 SX 34.What may make the 20-year cycle change according to the text? A.Richer materials for clothes. B.Stronger love for past designs. C.Faster production and social media. D.More generations accepting uniqueness. 35.What is the main idea of the text? A.The history of women's fashion trends. B.The influence of social media on fashion cycle. C.Fashion trends and research among young people. D.Fashion trend math and its implications for human innovation. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 "Most of our students are functionally illiterate.36 That line,from a college professor quoted by writer Derek Thompson in his essay,The End of Thinking,sounds exaggerated()until you look at the trends.North American educators say students struggle to follow long written arguments.Many can decode words, but not sustain attention. 37 Studies on how people spend their time show that reading for fun has dropped sharply,especially among the young.They are not unable to read-they write texts,scroll through posts,and communicate online all the time.38 Mr.Thompson calls this a "thinning of thought.He means that slowly,we are losing our ability to think about complex ideas,examine evidence,and accept uncertainty. Neuroscience(神经科学)backs up what many humanists have felt.Reading does not simply fill the mind.39 In a major imaging study,French brain scientist Stanislas Dehaene and his team compared three groups of adults:those who learned to read as children, those who learned later in life,and those who never learned to read.They found that reading reorganizes the brain's connections.It strengthens links between the brain's visual and language areas.It also improves hearing skills,and makes people more aware of speech sounds.40 Picking up a book is no longer just a personal activity.In a world full of distractions,it is an act we do for our communities and our minds.Every time we sit with a book-patient, focused,following an idea or a story-we are rebuilding the brain paths of reason and understanding that our society depends on. A.It reshapes it. B.This is not a joke. C.At the same time,people are reading less. D.But they are losing the habit of reading deeply. E.This study was one of the largest of its kind ever done in America. F.The act of reading brings sight and language together for understanding. G.Many students now prefer watching videos to reading books in their free time. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分）》 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A,B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 After moving to a new neighborhood,I struggled to feel at home.We had lived in our ol community for 20 years,where our children grew up 41 by grandparents and friends.Bu when my husband 42 a job opportunity miles away,everything 43.

Across the street lived Leo,a high school student known for his tech skills and quiet behavior.He often saw Mrs.Evans struggling on her door,her face fixed with confusion as she tapped uselessly on the silent device.One rainy afternoon,her call with Emma cut off suddenly.In a moment of uncharacteristic boldness,Mrs.Evans walked across the street and knocked on Leo's door. "I'm sorry to bother you,"she said,holding out the tablet like a wounded bird."It's my daughter...I can't see her." Leo,who was more accustomed to fixing code than managing relationships with neighbors,invited her in.Within minutes,he had checked the problem-an outdated operating system and an overflowing with digital mess.As he worked,Mrs.Evans noticed the textbooks on his desk,all advanced mathematics and physics,but also a single,well-worn copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer with a bookmark stuck halfway. "You're reading that for school?"she asked,her librarian instincts()kicking in. Leo shrugged(耸肩)，and his face turned a little red.“It's not for school..I just..like it.But the essays we have to write about it..."He stapped talking,and you could easily see he was upset."I can make an app,but I can't write what the teacher wants.It feels like a different kind of problem I just can't solve. Leo finished the update and handed back the tablet,but Mrs.Evans did not reach for it immediately. 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。 Instead,she gestured toward the worn copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
