A loud banging noise suddenly rang out in the lab. I had recently joined as a Ph. D. student, and I realized I was to blame. When placing tubes into a centrifuge (离心机), I failed to make sure they were perfectly balanced. My mistake was clear the second I turned it on. I couldn’t switch it off until the cycle finished, so I stood there, frozen. Then, a senior postdoc tried to cheer me up by saying, “These things happen.” But I couldn’t forgive myself.
I had always been a top student, and before I started my graduate program, I had already completed medical school. I expected excellence from myself. Any misstep, in my view, was a sign that I might not be cut out for this kind of work. I tried to avoid more mistakes, but there was no structured course in my graduate school, and I was unused to building research work.
Mistakes kept piling up: repeated DNA extraction failures, mixed-up results and methods sections in scientific writing. I was overwhelmed with self-blame, feeling all eyes were on me, judging my incompetence.
Then, one night, I had a dream. I knew I was suffering, and I watched myself, with deep sympathy. That dream showed me something I hadn’t been able to grasp in waking life: I needed to treat myself with the same pity I would offer a dear friend. I should have seen mistakes as part of growth.
That realization led me to change. The shift in mindset made it easier to avoid being consumed by the weight of failure. I also started to log my mistakes so I could learn from them. I would note whether there was something I could have done differently. Then I would move on. This simple practice helped me a lot.
The reality is, we are all going to mess up. I now realize that’s OK, even necessary. “Doing better” comes from “doing first”, often with twists and turns along the way.
4. How did the author probably feel when hearing the loud noise?
A. Relieved. B. Confused. C. Ashamed. D. Impatient.
5. What played a part in the author’s continuous mistakes?
A. She lacked structured guidance. B. She tried to avoid criticism.
C. She refused to take others’ advice. D. She was overconfident about herself.
6. How did the dream affect the author?
A. It let her realize the value of research work.
B. It worsened her academic struggle dramatically.
C. It inspired her to treat her friends sympathetically.
D. It helped her change her attitude towards mistakes.
7. Which of the following may the author agree with?
A. Self-blame is necessary to correct mistakes.
B. Top students are less likely to make mistakes.
C. Mistakes are an unavoidable part of progress.
D. The meaning of life lies in continuous success.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】主要讲述作者作为一名刚入学的博士生,在实验室因操作离心机失误引发巨响,此后又接连犯错,因一直对自己要求严格,她陷入自责。直到一次梦中对自己产生同情,让她意识到应像对待朋友一样宽容自己,把错误当作成长的一部分。心态转变后,作者开始记录错误并从中学习,认识到犯错是进步中不可避免的一部分。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A loud banging noise suddenly rang out in the lab. I had recently joined as a Ph.D. student, and I realized I was to blame. My mistake was clear the second I turned it on. I couldn’t switch it off until the cycle finished, so I stood there, frozen. (实验室里突然响起一声巨响。我刚成为一名博士生,意识到这是我的错。我一打开离心机,错误就很明显了。在运行周期结束前我无法关掉它,所以我就呆呆地站在那里。)”可知,作者意识到错误是自己造成的,且无法立刻停止离心机运行,只能呆立在那,由此可推断作者当时感到很羞愧。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I tried to avoid more mistakes, but there was no structured course in my graduate school, and I was unused to building research work. (我试图避免更多错误,但我的研究生院没有系统的课程,而且我不习惯开展研究工作。)”可知,作者接连犯错的一个原因是缺乏系统的指导。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“That dream showed me something I hadn’t been able to grasp in waking life: I needed to treat myself with the same pity I would offer a dear friend. I should have seen mistakes as part of growth. (那个梦让我看到了一些在清醒时无法理解的东西:我需要像对待亲密朋友一样善待自己。我应该把错误看作是成长的一部分。)”可知,这个梦帮助作者改变了对错误的态度。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The reality is, we are all going to mess up. I now realize that’s OK, even necessary. “Doing better” comes from “doing first”, often with twists and turns along the way. (现实是,我们都会搞砸事情。我现在意识到这没关系,甚至是必要的。“做得更好”源于“先去做”,而这一路上往往充满曲折。)”可知,作者认为犯错是进步中不可避免的一部分。
C
A new study published in Science suggests AI systems’ responses may disturb people’s ability to handle interpersonal conflicts. Scientists found that when AI chatbots are used for advice on interpersonal issues, they profess users’ perspectives much more often than humans and even praise clearly problematic behaviors. This behavior makes users view AI responses as more trustworthy, so they are more likely to turn to the agreeable AI again for future interpersonal issues.
Myra Cheng, a university professor and lead author of the study, was inspired after she learned that undergraduates were increasingly using AI to solve relationship issues. She worries people will lose the skills to deal with difficult social situations, as AI never tells users they are wrong or offers the “tough love” sometimes needed. While AI is overly agreeable on fact-based questions, few studies have explored how Large Language Models (LLMs) powering AI judge social dilemmas (困境).
Cheng’s team evaluated 11 major LLMs, including ChatGPT and Gemini, using established interpersonal advice datasets. They also presented LLMs with harmful action statements and tested 2,400 participants who chatted with both overly agreeable and objective AI chatbots. They found AI supported users 49% more often than humans on average and praised problematic behaviors 47% of the time; participants judged overly agreeable AI chatbots as more trustworthy, enhancing their original views.
Researchers claimed this preference may leave developers unmotivated to fix AI’s sycophancy, creating a harmful feedback circle, where engagement with AI models and their training could enhance such overly agreeable behavior. Additionally, participants could not distinguish overly agreeable AI chatbots from objective ones, mistakenly thinking they were equally fair. One reason the researchers cited was that AI’s agreement often came wrapped in neutral, academic language, making its biased opinion hard to recognize. The study warns overusing AI for interpersonal advice may disturb moral growth and narrow perspectives, as avoiding social conflicts — easy with AI — is key to healthy relationships.
8. What does the underlined word “profess” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Simplify. B. Back. C. Contradict. D. Dismiss.
9. What is Cheng’s concern?
A. AI is dangerously replacing human communication.
B. Colleges fail to offer necessary guidance to graduates.
C. Students rely too much on digital products in daily study.
D. People may gradually lose competence in handling conflicts.
10. What is a finding of Cheng’s experiment?
A. Agreeable AI chatbots are preferred.
B. There is no perfect solution to social dilemmas.
C. LLMs are better at solving fact-based problems.
D. AI models provide more objective advice than humans.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Risks of AI’s Overly Agreeable Advice
B. A New Study on the Future Development of LLMs
C. Ways to Distinguish Biased AI Tools from Objective Ones
D. The Importance of Tough Love in Interpersonal Conflicts
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍一项新研究,表明人工智能系统在处理人际冲突问题时,其回复可能会干扰人们处理人际冲突的能力。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Scientists found that when AI chatbots are used for advice on interpersonal issues, they profess users’perspectives much more often than humans and even praise clearly problematic behaviors.(科学家发现,当使用人工智能聊天机器人提供人际问题建议时,它们比人类更频繁地____用户的观点,甚至赞扬明显有问题的行为)”以及后文“users view AI responses as more trustworthy(用户认为人工智能的回复更值得信赖)”可知,人工智能聊天机器人应是支持用户观点,所以才会让用户觉得更可信,“profess”意思应与“支持,赞同”相近。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“She worries people will lose the skills to deal with difficult social situations, as AI never tells users they are wrong or offers the “tough love” sometimes needed.(她担心人们会失去处理棘手社交情况的技能,因为人工智能从不告诉用户他们错了,也不会提供有时所需的 “严厉的爱”)”可知,程教授担心人们可能会逐渐失去处理冲突的能力。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“participants judged overly agreeable AI chatbots as more trustworthy, enhancing their original views.(参与者认为过度认同的人工智能聊天机器人更值得信赖,强化了他们原本的观点)”以及第四段“Researchers claimed this preference may leave developers unmotivated to fix AI’s sycophancy(研究人员声称这种偏好可能会让开发者没有动力去修正人工智能的谄媚行为)”可知,程教授实验的一个发现是过度认同用户的人工智能聊天机器人更受青睐。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study published in Science suggests AI systems’ responses may disturb people’s ability to handle interpersonal conflicts.(一项发表在《科学》期刊上的新研究表明:人工智能系统的回应,可能会削弱人们处理人际矛盾的能力)”可知,文章围绕人工智能在提供人际问题建议时过度认同用户观点这一现象展开,阐述了其可能带来的风险,如干扰人们处理人际冲突能力、干扰道德成长、形成有害反馈循环等,所以A选项“Risks of AI’s Overly Agreeable Advice(人工智能过度认同建议的风险)”最能概括文章主旨, 为最佳标题。
D
Chinese scientists have developed a digital twin greenhouse system aimed at reducing time and resource consumption during tomato harvesting, offering new insights into the intelligent transformation of large-scale precision agriculture.
Chai Xiujuan, chief scientist of the machine vision and agricultural robot innovation team, said the research addresses key challenges in automated tomato harvesting in greenhouses, including limited camera views, fruit occlusion (遮挡) and complex fruiting patterns. “Efficient and low-damage harvesting was a major challenge in modern greenhouse tomato production, particularly in dense planting environments,” Chai said. “Our study presents a digital twin-driven system for intelligent tomato harvesting.”
Using a slidable depth camera mounted on the harvesting robot, the team reconstructed a high-fidelity 3D digital twin of the greenhouse that accurately captures the spatial distribution and growth states of tomatoes. Based on this virtual environment, the researchers developed a learning-based framework to develop better harvesting strategies, including robot positioning, fruit selection priority and adaptive operation modes.
Experimental results showed that the method significantly improved harvesting performance, reducing average picking time by nearly 35 percent to 7.4 seconds per fruit, while collision (碰撞) occurrences dropped by 45 percent.
“Traditionally, a depth camera is fixed on the robotic arm to capture the picking view and make harvesting decisions,” Lang Yining, a team member, said. “However, such decisions are usually based only on the local field of view from the current camera position, which may contain just a few tomatoes. In our approach, a depth camera mounted on a sliding rail scans dynamically to reconstruct the overall structure of the greenhouse plants. This creates a digital twin of the entire tomato-growing environment and gives the picking decision algorithm (算法) a much broader scope.”
Next, the team plans to further explore the use of digital twin technology to simulate (模拟) the growth and harvesting environments of more crop varieties, enabling low-cost and high-efficiency training and evaluation of harvesting decision algorithms.
12. What is the digital twin greenhouse system intended to do?
A. Change the way tomatoes grow.
B. Improve the efficiency of tomato harvesting.
C. Increase the output of tomatoes in greenhouses.
D. Reduce the space tomatoes take up in greenhouses.
13. What does Chai mainly talk about in paragraph 2?
A. The significance of popularizing precision agriculture.
B. The future plan for intelligent tomato production.
C. The problems the new system manages to solve.
D. The wide use of robots in tomato planting.
14. What can we infer about the slidable depth camera?
A. It can identify diseased plants precisely.
B. It helps build a virtual model of the greenhouse.
C. It works better than traditional cameras in poor light.
D. It collects information about specific tomato plants faster.
15. What is an advantage of the new approach?
A. It saves humans from harvesting labor.
B. It costs much less to develop and operate.
C. It speeds up the growth of tomato plants.
D. It provides a wider view for decision-making.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D

【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“In our approach, a depth camera mounted on a sliding rail scans dynamically to reconstruct the overall structure of the greenhouse plants. This creates a digital twin of the entire tomato-growing environment and gives the picking decision algorithm (算法) a much broader scope.”(在我们的方法中,安装在滑轨上的深度相机动态扫描以重建温室植物的整体结构。这创建了整个番茄生长环境的数字孪生模型,并为采摘决策算法提供了更广阔的范围。)”可知,新方法的一个优点是为决策提供了更广阔的视野。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is surprising that the people we love most are often the hardest to be emotionally honest with. As a therapist, I meet many clients who can express their frustrations freely towards friends, yet become highly reserved when discussing family issues. ____16____ They tend to highlight their parents’ sacrifices and hide their own unpleasant feelings.
This emotional suppression (压抑) stems not from the emotions themselves, but from the moral meanings attached to them. Many families are influenced by traditional values like respect for elders and family harmony. As a result, people often soften their feelings, justify their parents’ behavior, and remind themselves that their parents “did their best.” ____17____ Many adults hold conflicting emotions — gratitude and resentment, love and disappointment — yet feel forced to deny these complexities.
____18____ Western psychology often praises emotional independence and clear personal boundaries as healthy. However, in many other cultures, personal identity is deeply rooted in family relationships. Parental emotions strongly influence their children even in adulthood, and such emotional closeness is regarded as a normal expression of care and responsibility rather than unhealthy dependence.
As people mature, they begin to see parents as imperfect individuals shaped by their own struggles and limitations. This shift can be relieving but also uncomfortable, as acknowledging parental weaknesses may feel unacceptable in traditional contexts. ____19____
In working through these feelings, one grows more understanding — of oneself and of one’s parents. Grieving (为……而悲伤) unmet needs does not destroy love but clarifies it. ____20____ Instead, it means we can hold love, gratitude and hurt in the same relationship and make our family emotional story more complete.
A. They seldom show their real emotions to others.
B. Emotional maturity lies not in separating from family.
C. Cultural differences in family boundaries further complicate this issue.
D. It is strongly advised that people hide their negative feelings towards parents.
E. Most people find it easy to balance loyalty and honesty in family relationships.
F. This is not indifference but an attempt to protect the precious parent-child bond.
G. However, accepting this helps let go of unrealistic expectations and gain inner freedom.
【答案】16. A 17. F 18. C 19. G 20. B
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述人们常对至亲难以坦诚表达情绪,受传统观念与文化差异影响,正视父母不完美、接纳复杂情感才是真正的情绪成熟。
【16题详解】
由上文“As a therapist, I meet many clients who can express their frustrations freely towards friends, yet become highly reserved when discussing family issues.(作为一名心理咨询师,我遇到很多来访者能对朋友随意倾诉不满,谈及家庭问题却十分内敛克制。)”可知,前文指出人们对朋友敢倾诉、对家人却很内敛,A项“They seldom show their real emotions to others.(他们很少向他人表露自己的真实情绪。)”符合此处语境,承接上文内敛克制的表现,符合题意。
【17题详解】
由上文“As a result, people often soften their feelings, justify their parents’ behavior, and remind themselves that their parents ‘did their best.’(因此人们常常弱化自身情绪,为父母的行为辩解,还宽慰自己父母已经尽力了。)”可知,前文写人们刻意压抑真实感受、自我说服,后文提到成年人内心交织感恩与怨恨、爱与失望却不敢承认,F项“This is not indifference but an attempt to protect the precious parent-child bond.(这并非冷漠,而是想要守护珍贵的亲子关系。)”符合此处语境,承接上文自我压抑的行为,点明背后的心理动因。
【18题详解】
由下文“Western psychology often praises emotional independence and clear personal boundaries as healthy. However, in many other cultures, personal identity is deeply rooted in family relationships.(西方心理学推崇情绪独立和清晰的个人边界是健康的,而在许多其他文化中,个人身份深深植根于家庭关系之中。)”可知,后文对比不同文化对家庭边界的看法,C项“Cultural differences in family boundaries further complicate this issue.(家庭边界上的文化差异让这一问题变得更加复杂。)”符合此处语境,作为段首总起句,引出下文文化差异的对比。
【19题详解】
由上文“This shift can be relieving but also uncomfortable, as acknowledging parental weaknesses may feel unacceptable in traditional contexts.(这种心态转变虽让人释然,却也令人不安,因为在传统观念中承认父母的不完美难以被接受。)”可知,前文讲承认父母不完美带来的纠结感受,G项“However, accepting this helps let go of unrealistic expectations and gain inner freedom.(然而接纳这一点,能让人放下不切实际的期待,获得内心的自由。)”符合此处语境,转折点明正视父母不完美的积极意义。
【20题详解】
由下文“Instead, it means we can hold love, gratitude and hurt in the same relationship and make our family emotional story more complete.(相反,这意味着我们可以在同一段亲情里同时容纳爱、感恩与伤痛,让家庭的情感脉络更完整。)”可知,下文“Instead”表转折,B项“Emotional maturity lies not in separating from family.(情绪成熟并不意味着与家庭割裂。)”符合此处语境,not...instead... 形成固定逻辑衔接。

【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了位于北京繁华市中心的一家新开业的北京礼物店。
【36题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:它散发着一种难以抗拒的魅力,自然而然地吸引了路人的注意。“passer-by”为可数名词,意为“路人”,此处用复数形式“passers-by”表泛指。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:墙上装饰着熊猫模型,吸引着游客走进店内。句中已有谓语动词“is decorated”,所以此处应用非谓语动词。“It”(指代the store)与“invite”之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词“inviting”作状语,表主动和伴随。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:整个空间充满了年轻人欢快的交谈声和爽朗的笑声,他们被摆满了精心设计的文创产品的展示柜所吸引。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是“youngsters”,指人,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词“who”引导。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:整个空间充满了年轻人欢快的交谈声和爽朗的笑声,他们被摆满了精心设计的文创产品的展示柜所吸引。此处修饰动词“designed”,应用副词“delicately”,意为“精心地,精致地”。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:从这座城市标志性建筑地标的缩微模型到精致的冰箱贴,每一件产品都承载着一个独一无二的故事,反映了这座首都城市的精髓。此处表示泛指“一个独一无二的故事”,“one-of-its-kind”是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词“a”。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在这些引人注目的物品中,有一件无疑是最受欢迎的:兔儿爷,一个传统的神祗形象,有着兔子的头和人的身体,它已稳稳地成为店里最抢手的纪念品之一。此处修饰名词“items”,应用形容词“remarkable”,意为“引人注目的,非凡的”。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:胡鹏飞,这些装饰性兔儿爷雕塑背后的创意者,很高兴看到这个古老的文化符号,曾经作为孩子们在中秋节期间重要的泥塑玩具,在年轻一代中越来越受欢迎。“grow in +名词”表示“在……方面增长”,此处表示在受欢迎程度方面增长。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:兔儿爷最初被认为是象征着和平与幸福的吉祥吉祥物,承载着深厚的文化意义;在过去,它被视为一种能驱走疾病、带来好运的生物,常出现在皇家服饰上。句中已有谓语动词“carries”,所以此处应用非谓语动词。“the Rabbit God”与“regard”之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词“Regarded”作状语,表被动和完成,句首单词首字母大写。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:兔儿爷最初被认为是象征着和平与幸福的吉祥吉祥物,承载着深厚的文化意义;在过去,它被视为一种能驱走疾病、带来好运的生物,常出现在皇家服饰上。根据时间状语“in the past”可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时。主语“it”(指代the Rabbit God)与“see”之间是被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,其结构为“was/were +过去分词”,主语是单数,所以用“was seen”。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:通过胡的创新设计方法,这个文化遗产被巧妙地改造,以适应现代生活方式,成为一件桌面展示品。此处应用动词不定式作目的状语,表示改造文化遗产的目的是适应现代生活方式,所以用“to suit”。

Wisdom Is Organized Life
The sentence “Wisdom Is Organized Life” conveys that wisdom does not come from empty theories, but grows from structured, intentional living. A chaotic life filled with random choices can never breed real insight, while well-arranged routines and deliberate reflections help us learn lessons from daily experiences.
In my daily life, I keep a clear weekly schedule to balance study and rest, and spend 10 minutes every night reviewing what I have gained or corrected that day. This regular arrangement not only makes my life efficient, but also helps me accumulate practical wisdom little by little.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
I stared sadly at the bills spread across the kitchen table. The pile, growing larger and more depressing every day, totally consumed my thoughts. I felt hopeless as I opened another envelope and saw the bold red letters — “Past Due”. With a frustrated sigh, I threw the bill back, murmuring helplessly.
This had been my life since my husband Bill died and I lost my work the year before: dealing with past-dues and final notices until I broke down in tears, and trying to decide which bills had to be paid immediately and which could be delayed. I was terrified to answer the phone, fearing it was a collection agency threatening to take my car or cut off my electricity. Yet I dared not ignore it. Trapped in such a dilemma, I felt deeply ashamed and just wanted to hide in bed. I had to struggle to survive, but I had already lost hope of pulling through.
I seldom opened the door to anyone these days, but when I heard one loud tap and three softer ones, I knew it was Judy, my best friend. She invented her special knock so that I would know it was her and not rush into my bedroom to hide. I didn’t always want to see Judy, but I knew if I didn’t let her in, she would worry more than she usually did about me.
I forced myself to get up from my chair and go to the door. Judy yelled when seeing me. “You don’t have to say anything,” she said. “I can see it in your face.” She took me by the shoulders and gently pushed me backward, shaking her head. “I can also see it in your messy hair.”
Judy gave me a steady stare that she had mastered from teaching middle-school kids for fifteen years. “And we’re going to fix it.”
I pointed to the bills on the table. “That? You’re going to fix that?”
Judy took my arm and led me back to the table. “No,” she said firmly. “You. You need fixing first.”
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。
With those words, Judy took out a notebook and a pen from her bag.

Under Judy’s careful guidance, I started to take action.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
With those words, Judy took out a notebook and a pen from her bag. She sat me down and told me to list every single bill, no matter how small or frightening. At first, I hesitated, my hands trembling as I stared at the numbers, still trapped in despair. But Judy sat patiently, never rushing me, her warm gaze calming my nerves. She told me that facing the problem bravely was the first step to change, and that I was not alone in this struggle. Gradually, I relaxed and wrote down the debts one by one, as if lifting a heavy weight from my heart.
Under Judy’s careful guidance, I started to take action. I sorted the bills by deadline on my own, marking the most urgent ones with a red pen and setting aside the ones that could be negotiated. I gathered my courage to call each company, stammering at first but growing more confident as I explained my situation and asked for a delayed payment plan. I also made a detailed budget, cutting unnecessary expenses to save every penny. As I checked off each small task, I finally smiled for the first time in months. No longer overwhelmed by fear, I felt hope returning. With Judy’s silent support, I knew I could face life’s difficulties bravely and rebuild my world one step at a time.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述“我”在丈夫Bill去世且自己失业后,生活陷入困境,每天面对堆积如山的账单感到绝望无助,害怕接电话,甚至想躲起来。好友Judy通过特殊敲门声来访,看出“我”的状态,告诉“我”要先改变自己,才能解决问题。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容可知,接下来可描写Judy引导“我”梳理账单,耐心鼓励“我”正视债务问题,缓解“我”的绝望情绪,让“我”不再逃避。
②由第二段首句内容可知,接下来可描写“我”在Judy的指导下,整理账单、主动沟通协商还款计划、制定预算,逐步摆脱恐惧,重拾面对生活的勇气和希望。
2.续写线索:Judy让“我”列账单——鼓励“我”勇敢面对——“我”按指导行动——整理账单、打电话、做预算——重燃希望。

A loud banging noise suddenly rang out in the lab. I had recently joined as a Ph. D. student, and I realized I was to blame. When placing tubes into a centrifuge (离心机), I failed to make sure they were perfectly balanced. My mistake was clear the second I turned it on. I couldn’t switch it off until the cycle finished, so I stood there, frozen. Then, a senior postdoc tried to cheer me up by saying, “These things happen.” But I couldn’t forgive myself.
I had always been a top student, and before I started my graduate program, I had already completed medical school. I expected excellence from myself. Any misstep, in my view, was a sign that I might not be cut out for this kind of work. I tried to avoid more mistakes, but there was no structured course in my graduate school, and I was unused to building research work.
Mistakes kept piling up: repeated DNA extraction failures, mixed-up results and methods sections in scientific writing. I was overwhelmed with self-blame, feeling all eyes were on me, judging my incompetence.
Then, one night, I had a dream. I knew I was suffering, and I watched myself, with deep sympathy. That dream showed me something I hadn’t been able to grasp in waking life: I needed to treat myself with the same pity I would offer a dear friend. I should have seen mistakes as part of growth.
That realization led me to change. The shift in mindset made it easier to avoid being consumed by the weight of failure. I also started to log my mistakes so I could learn from them. I would note whether there was something I could have done differently. Then I would move on. This simple practice helped me a lot.
The reality is, we are all going to mess up. I now realize that’s OK, even necessary. “Doing better” comes from “doing first”, often with twists and turns along the way.
4. How did the author probably feel when hearing the loud noise?
A. Relieved. B. Confused. C. Ashamed. D. Impatient.
5. What played a part in the author’s continuous mistakes?
A. She lacked structured guidance. B. She tried to avoid criticism.
C. She refused to take others’ advice. D. She was overconfident about herself.
6. How did the dream affect the author?
A. It let her realize the value of research work.
B. It worsened her academic struggle dramatically.
C. It inspired her to treat her friends sympathetically.
D. It helped her change her attitude towards mistakes.
7. Which of the following may the author agree with?
A. Self-blame is necessary to correct mistakes.
B. Top students are less likely to make mistakes.
C. Mistakes are an unavoidable part of progress.
D. The meaning of life lies in continuous success.
C
A new study published in Science suggests AI systems’ responses may disturb people’s ability to handle interpersonal conflicts. Scientists found that when AI chatbots are used for advice on interpersonal issues, they profess users’ perspectives much more often than humans and even praise clearly problematic behaviors. This behavior makes users view AI responses as more trustworthy, so they are more likely to turn to the agreeable AI again for future interpersonal issues.
Myra Cheng, a university professor and lead author of the study, was inspired after she learned that undergraduates were increasingly using AI to solve relationship issues. She worries people will lose the skills to deal with difficult social situations, as AI never tells users they are wrong or offers the “tough love” sometimes needed. While AI is overly agreeable on fact-based questions, few studies have explored how Large Language Models (LLMs) powering AI judge social dilemmas (困境).
Cheng’s team evaluated 11 major LLMs, including ChatGPT and Gemini, using established interpersonal advice datasets. They also presented LLMs with harmful action statements and tested 2,400 participants who chatted with both overly agreeable and objective AI chatbots. They found AI supported users 49% more often than humans on average and praised problematic behaviors 47% of the time; participants judged overly agreeable AI chatbots as more trustworthy, enhancing their original views.
Researchers claimed this preference may leave developers unmotivated to fix AI’s sycophancy, creating a harmful feedback circle, where engagement with AI models and their training could enhance such overly agreeable behavior. Additionally, participants could not distinguish overly agreeable AI chatbots from objective ones, mistakenly thinking they were equally fair. One reason the researchers cited was that AI’s agreement often came wrapped in neutral, academic language, making its biased opinion hard to recognize. The study warns overusing AI for interpersonal advice may disturb moral growth and narrow perspectives, as avoiding social conflicts — easy with AI — is key to healthy relationships.
8. What does the underlined word “profess” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Simplify. B. Back. C. Contradict. D. Dismiss.
9. What is Cheng’s concern?
A. AI is dangerously replacing human communication.
B. Colleges fail to offer necessary guidance to graduates.
C. Students rely too much on digital products in daily study.
D. People may gradually lose competence in handling conflicts.
10. What is a finding of Cheng’s experiment?
A. Agreeable AI chatbots are preferred.
B. There is no perfect solution to social dilemmas.
C. LLMs are better at solving fact-based problems.
D. AI models provide more objective advice than humans.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Risks of AI’s Overly Agreeable Advice
B. A New Study on the Future Development of LLMs
C. Ways to Distinguish Biased AI Tools from Objective Ones
D. The Importance of Tough Love in Interpersonal Conflicts

Chai Xiujuan, chief scientist of the machine vision and agricultural robot innovation team, said the research addresses key challenges in automated tomato harvesting in greenhouses, including limited camera views, fruit occlusion (遮挡) and complex fruiting patterns. “Efficient and low-damage harvesting was a major challenge in modern greenhouse tomato production, particularly in dense planting environments,” Chai said. “Our study presents a digital twin-driven system for intelligent tomato harvesting.”
Using a slidable depth camera mounted on the harvesting robot, the team reconstructed a high-fidelity 3D digital twin of the greenhouse that accurately captures the spatial distribution and growth states of tomatoes. Based on this virtual environment, the researchers developed a learning-based framework to develop better harvesting strategies, including robot positioning, fruit selection priority and adaptive operation modes.
Experimental results showed that the method significantly improved harvesting performance, reducing average picking time by nearly 35 percent to 7.4 seconds per fruit, while collision (碰撞) occurrences dropped by 45 percent.
“Traditionally, a depth camera is fixed on the robotic arm to capture the picking view and make harvesting decisions,” Lang Yining, a team member, said. “However, such decisions are usually based only on the local field of view from the current camera position, which may contain just a few tomatoes. In our approach, a depth camera mounted on a sliding rail scans dynamically to reconstruct the overall structure of the greenhouse plants. This creates a digital twin of the entire tomato-growing environment and gives the picking decision algorithm (算法) a much broader scope.”
Next, the team plans to further explore the use of digital twin technology to simulate (模拟) the growth and harvesting environments of more crop varieties, enabling low-cost and high-efficiency training and evaluation of harvesting decision algorithms.

It is surprising that the people we love most are often the hardest to be emotionally honest with. As a therapist, I meet many clients who can express their frustrations freely towards friends, yet become highly reserved when discussing family issues. ____16____ They tend to highlight their parents’ sacrifices and hide their own unpleasant feelings.
This emotional suppression (压抑) stems not from the emotions themselves, but from the moral meanings attached to them. Many families are influenced by traditional values like respect for elders and family harmony. As a result, people often soften their feelings, justify their parents’ behavior, and remind themselves that their parents “did their best.” ____17____ Many adults hold conflicting emotions — gratitude and resentment, love and disappointment — yet feel forced to deny these complexities.
____18____ Western psychology often praises emotional independence and clear personal boundaries as healthy. However, in many other cultures, personal identity is deeply rooted in family relationships. Parental emotions strongly influence their children even in adulthood, and such emotional closeness is regarded as a normal expression of care and responsibility rather than unhealthy dependence.
As people mature, they begin to see parents as imperfect individuals shaped by their own struggles and limitations. This shift can be relieving but also uncomfortable, as acknowledging parental weaknesses may feel unacceptable in traditional contexts. ____19____
In working through these feelings, one grows more understanding — of oneself and of one’s parents. Grieving (为……而悲伤) unmet needs does not destroy love but clarifies it. ____20____ Instead, it means we can hold love, gratitude and hurt in the same relationship and make our family emotional story more complete.
A. They seldom show their real emotions to others.
B. Emotional maturity lies not in separating from family.
C. Cultural differences in family boundaries further complicate this issue.
D. It is strongly advised that people hide their negative feelings towards parents.
E. Most people find it easy to balance loyalty and honesty in family relationships.
F. This is not indifference but an attempt to protect the precious parent-child bond.
G. However, accepting this helps let go of unrealistic expectations and gain inner freedom.

47. 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。
I stared sadly at the bills spread across the kitchen table. The pile, growing larger and more depressing every day, totally consumed my thoughts. I felt hopeless as I opened another envelope and saw the bold red letters — “Past Due”. With a frustrated sigh, I threw the bill back, murmuring helplessly.
This had been my life since my husband Bill died and I lost my work the year before: dealing with past-dues and final notices until I broke down in tears, and trying to decide which bills had to be paid immediately and which could be delayed. I was terrified to answer the phone, fearing it was a collection agency threatening to take my car or cut off my electricity. Yet I dared not ignore it. Trapped in such a dilemma, I felt deeply ashamed and just wanted to hide in bed. I had to struggle to survive, but I had already lost hope of pulling through.
I seldom opened the door to anyone these days, but when I heard one loud tap and three softer ones, I knew it was Judy, my best friend. She invented her special knock so that I would know it was her and not rush into my bedroom to hide. I didn’t always want to see Judy, but I knew if I didn’t let her in, she would worry more than she usually did about me.
I forced myself to get up from my chair and go to the door. Judy yelled when seeing me. “You don’t have to say anything,” she said. “I can see it in your face.” She took me by the shoulders and gently pushed me backward, shaking her head. “I can also see it in your messy hair.”
Judy gave me a steady stare that she had mastered from teaching middle-school kids for fifteen years. “And we’re going to fix it.”
I pointed to the bills on the table. “That? You’re going to fix that?”
Judy took my arm and led me back to the table. “No,” she said firmly. “You. You need fixing first.”
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。
With those words, Judy took out a notebook and a pen from her bag.

Under Judy’s careful guidance, I started to take action.
