In 2012, her eldest daughter suffered severe injuries during an argument in Kansas City, Missouri. Last year, the single mother lost her job in the hard times. She had only $7 in her pocket as she headed into the grocery store one day last July with her 12-year-old daughter, Rakiya Edmondson. And then luck finally turned Sims’ way. She and her daughter found a dollar bill in the parking lot. Maybe this was their day, they told each other. So they bought a lottery ticket (彩票) — and won $100. But before they could spend their windfall, Rakiya had an idea. The news in Kansas City that week had been filled with stories about a police officer, Tyler Moss, who had been shot in the head in the line of duty. He was in critical condition. Rakiya and her mother had never forgotten how kind the police had been after their own family member was attacked. “The detectives were really there for us,” Sims says. “They came to see my kids. They were fathers, therapists (治疗师). They were everything.” Rakiya wanted to give their lottery winnings to Officer Moss’s family. Her mom readily agreed. On July 10, Sims called the police and made an anonymous (匿名的) donation. Moved by her generous act, the officers did what they do best — they tracked Sims down. When she explained the family’s motivation, the officers could hardly believe it. “With her current financial hardship, we encouraged her to keep the money,” the department later explained. “She refused, saying the officer’s family needed it and police needed to know they were supported.” By then, that feeling of support was mutual. The police set up a GoFundMe page for Sims and her daughter, whom they named “The Woman with the Heart of Gold.” Their goal was ＄10,000. By January 11, 2021, they had raised ＄165,405. Even better: Officer Moss, who had a 1 percent chance of survival, is out of the hospital and recovering. 4. What does the underlined word “windfall” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Devoted effort. B. Poor times. C. Unexpected money. D. Lucky days. 5. What made the Sims decide to donate the lottery winnings? A. Desire for public praise. B. Gratitude for past police kindness. C. Hope for financial return. D. Sympathy for Officer Moss’s family. 6. Why did the police track down Sims after the donation? A. To return the money. B. To help the family. C. To report her in public. D. To find the truth. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Lottery Win That Brought Mutual Warmth B. A Police Officer Who Got Support from a Stranger C. A Poor Family Whose Life Was Changed by Faith D. A Kind Police Team That Helped a Single Mother 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Shetara Sims母女捡到钱买彩票中奖后，将奖金匿名捐给受伤警察家庭，后获警方帮助的暖心故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“So they bought a lottery ticket (彩票) — and won $100.(于是她们买了一张彩票，中了100美元。)”、“But before they could spend their windfall, Rakiya had an idea.(但是还没等她们花掉她们的windfall，Rakiya就有了一个想法。)”可知，她们买的彩票中奖了，还没花这笔意外之财的时候，Rakiya有了想法，所以windfall指的是“意外之财”，即Unexpected money。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Rakiya and her mother had never forgotten how kind the police had been after their own family member was attacked.(Rakiya和她的母亲从未忘记，在她们的家人遭到袭击后，警察是多么的善良。)”以及“Rakiya wanted to give their lottery winnings to Officer Moss’s family. Her mom readily agreed.(Rakiya想把她们的彩票奖金捐给莫斯警官的家人。她妈妈欣然同意了。)”可知，对过去警察善意的感激让Sims决定捐赠彩票奖金。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“On July 10, Sims called the police and made an anonymous (匿名的) donation. Moved by her generous act, the officers did what they do best — they tracked Sims down. When she explained the family’s motivation, the officers could hardly believe it.(7月10日，Sims联系警方，进行了匿名捐款。警方被她的善举深深打动，最终查到了她的身份。当她说明捐款缘由后，警方难以置信。)”可知，警察在捐赠后追踪Sims是为了找到真相。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第四段中“On July 10, Sims called the police and made an anonymous (匿名的) donation. Moved by her generous act, the officers did what they do best — they tracked Sims down. When she explained the family’s motivation, the officers could hardly believe it.(7月10日，Sims联系警方，进行了匿名捐款。警方被她的善举深深打动，最终查到了她的身份。当她说明捐款缘由后，警方难以置信。)”和最后一段中“The police set up a GoFundMe page for Sims and her daughter, whom they named “The Woman with the Heart of Gold.” (警方为Sims母女开设了众筹页面，称赞她为“心地至善的女人”。)”可知，文章讲述了Shetara Sims母女捡到钱买彩票中奖后，将奖金匿名捐给受伤警察家庭，后获警方帮助的暖心故事，体现了双方互相给予的温暖，A选项“A Lottery Win That Brought Mutual Warmth(一场带来双方温暖的彩票中奖)”最符合文章主旨，适合作最佳标题。故选A。 C A new artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by the Chinese company behind social media rocked Hollywood this week — not just because of what it can do, but what it could mean for creative industries. Created by tech giant ByteDance, Seedance 2.0 can generate cinema-quality video, complete with sound effects and dialogue, from just a few written prompts (提示词). Many of the clips said to have been made using Seedance, and featuring popular characters like Spider-Man and Deadpool, became popular. “For the first time, this doesn’t just look good for AI — it looks like real film production.” says Jan-Willem Blom from creative studio Videostate. Western AI video models have made progress in processing user instructions to make amazing images, he adds, but Seedance seems to have tied everything together. Like other AI tools-Midjourney and OpenAI’s Sora-Seedance can create videos from short text prompts. In some cases just one prompt seems to be producing high-quality videos. It is particularly impressive because it combines text, visuals and audio in a single system, AI ethics researcher Margaret Mitchell says. Seedance’s impact is being measured by an unlikely test: how well it generates a clip of Will Smith eating spaghetti. Not only can Seedance create a remarkably life-like version of the star eating a plate of pasta, it has also created popular videos of Smith battling a spaghetti monster — and it looks and feels like a big-budget movie. Many industry experts and filmmakers believe Seedance is a new chapter in the development of video-generating technology. The complex action sequences it is producing look more realistic than its competitors, says David Kwok, who runs a Singapore-based animation studio called Tiny Island Productions. “It almost feels like having a cinematographer or director of photography specialising in action films assisting you.” However, Seedance has run into trouble over copyright (版权) issues, a growing challenge in the age of AI. Experts warn that AI companies are prioritising technology over people as they make more powerful tools and use data without paying for it. 8. What does the author highlight about Seedance in paragraph 1? A. Its focus on social media. B. Its competition with Hollywood. C. Its ability to generate hot figures. D. Its influence on creative industries. 9. How does Seedance differ from Western AI video models? A. It integrates multi-media elements. B. It creates single amazing images. C. It processes instructions faster. D. It needs many text prompts. 10. Why is Will Smith mentioned in the text? A. To highlight his cooperation. B. To prove he is a famous actor. C. To show his love for spaghetti. D. To test Seedance’s performance. 11. What do experts think of Seedance? A. It will replace human workers. B. It needs proper data payment. C. It lacks some creative designs. D. It weakens action scene effects. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。介绍了中国科技公司字节跳动研发的AI视频模型Seedance 2.0，该模型能根据文本提示生成影院级视频，融合画面、音效与台词，引发好莱坞关注，同时也面临版权方面的争议。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A new artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by the Chinese company behind social media rocked Hollywood this week — not just because of what it can do, but what it could mean for creative industries.(一家中国社交媒体背后的公司研发的全新人工智能模型本周震撼了好莱坞，不仅因为它的功能，更因为它对创意产业可能带来的意义)”可知，作者在第一段重点强调了Seedance对创意产业的影响。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It is particularly impressive because it combines text, visuals and audio in a single system, AI ethics researcher Margaret Mitchell says.(人工智能伦理研究员玛格丽特・米切尔表示，它令人印象尤为深刻，因为它在一个系统中整合了文本、视觉和音频)”可知，Seedance与西方AI视频模型的不同之处在于它整合了多媒体元素。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Seedance’s impact is being measured by an unlikely test: how well it generates a clip of Will Smith eating spaghetti.Not only can Seedance create a remarkably life-like version of the star eating a plate of pasta, it has also created popular videos of Smith battling a spaghetti monster — and it looks and feels like a big-budget movie.(人们正通过一个意想不到的测试衡量Seedance的效果：它生成威尔・史密斯吃意大利面片段的效果如何。Seedance 不仅能够生成极为逼真的影像，还原这位明星吃意大利面的画面，还制作出了史密斯与意大利面怪兽对战的热门视频，画面质感完全堪比大制作电影。)”可知，文中提到威尔・史密斯是为了测试Seedance的表现。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, Seedance has run into trouble over copyright (版权) issues, a growing challenge in the age of AI. Experts warn that AI companies are prioritising technology over people as they make more powerful tools and use data without paying for it.(然而，Seedance在版权问题上陷入了困境，这也是人工智能时代日益凸显的一大难题。专家警示，人工智能企业一味偏重技术发展，忽视人的权益；他们不断研发功能更强大的工具，在使用数据时却并未支付相应费用)”可知，专家认为Seedance需要对使用的数据进行合理付费。故选B。 D The precise timing of Earth’s climate tipping points — moments at which human-caused climate change will lead to permanent planetary changes — has long been debated. But new evidence suggests they may be closer than we think. A recent report warns that Earth has already crossed its first critical tipping point. The study, conducted by the University of Exeter, identifies warm-water coral reefs as the first system to surpass this threshold (阈值) of 1.5 °C. Plagued by a combination of rising ocean temperatures, acidification, overfishing, and pollution, corals are experiencing widespread diseases and mass death. A significant loss of these reefs is now inescapable unless global temperatures are capped at 1°C or lower. “We’re in a new climate reality,” said Tim Lenton, the report’s lead author. He confirms that crossing this initial tipping point virtually guarantees exceeding the 1.5°C warming threshold, making the planet a “danger zone” for more severe changes. The World Meteorological Organization predicts this critical threshold will be reached within five years, leading to more intense extreme weather and shortages of food and water. Beyond this immediate threat, scientists have identified up to 25 other major tipping points. These include the Amazon rainforest’s potential transition from a carbon sink into a dried-up grassland, and the permanent melting of polar ice. This darkening surface speeds up warming as dark ocean water absorbs far more heat than reflective ice. Alarmingly, 80% of coral reefs have already been under severe heat stress. Their death would be disastrous, as they sustain fisheries and protect coastlines. With one of the lowest temperature thresholds, corals are the first major ecosystem to be compromised. Coral reefs are not the only victim. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a crucial ocean current system, is endangered by warming below 2°C. A collapse here would disturb global weather patterns and agricultural systems on a massive scale. However, despite these serious risks, there is hope in “positive tipping points”, such as the rapid adoption of electric vehicles and solar power. Lenton emphasizes that transformative solutions must be employed urgently to limit warming and avoid further shifts. 12. What does the underlined phrase “Plagued by” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Resulting in. B. Suffering from. C. Counting on. D. Accounting for. 13. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Not all predictions are reliable. B. Climate change is no longer a threat. C. Tougher challenges may be unavoidable. D. Global warming has been temporarily stopped. 14. Why is the Amazon rainforest mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To highlight forests’ capacity to recover naturally. B. To compare its carbon absorption with polar ice’s. C. To emphasize the necessity of protecting biodiversity. D. To illustrate the severity of threats to major ecosystems. 15. What conclusion can be reached from the last two paragraphs? A. Risks and profits go hand in hand. B. The collapse of AMOC is predictable. C. Clean energy have addressed the climate crisis. D. Immediate action is needed to turn things around. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕地球气候临界点展开讨论，介绍最新研究结论：地球已经跨越第一个气候临界点——暖水珊瑚礁的1.5℃阈值，受多重环境与人为因素影响，珊瑚礁大规模损失几乎不可避免。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。划线部分是句子的状语部分，根据空后宾语“a combination of rising ocean temperatures, acidification, overfishing, and pollution(海洋温度上升、酸化、过度捕捞和污染等因素的综合)”及主句“corals are experiencing widespread diseases and mass death.(珊瑚正遭受广泛的疾病和大规模死亡)”可知，画线短语后面的宾语是主句珊瑚患病甚至死亡的原因，前后为因果关系，先遭遇这些因素，后导致患病。A. Resulting in.意为“导致，引发”；B. Suffering from.意为“患有，遭受”；C. Counting on.意为“指望，依赖”；D. Accounting for.意为“解释，说明；导致，造成”。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“He confirms that crossing this initial tipping point virtually guarantees exceeding the 1.5°C warming threshold, making the planet a ‘danger zone’ for more severe changes. The World Meteorological Organization predicts this critical threshold will be reached within five years, leading to more intense extreme weather and shortages of food and water.(他确认跨越这一初始临界点几乎可以肯定会超过1.5摄氏度的升温阈值，使地球成为一个“更严重变化的危险区域”。世界气象组织预测，这个关键阈值将在五年内被达到，从而导致更强烈的极端天气以及食物和水资源的短缺)”可知，突破珊瑚礁这个初始临界点，几乎必然会让地球突破1.5℃的升温阈值，还会带来更极端的天气、粮食和水资源短缺。由此可推断，更严峻的气候挑战几乎不可避免。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Beyond this immediate threat, scientists have identified up to 25 other major tipping points. These include the Amazon rainforest’s potential transition from a carbon sink into a dried-up grassland, and the permanent melting of polar ice. This darkening surface speeds up warming as dark ocean water absorbs far more heat than reflective ice.(除了这一直接威胁之外，科学家还发现了多达25个其他重要的临界点。这些包括亚马逊雨林可能从碳汇转变为干涸的草原，以及极地冰层的永久融化)”可知，除了珊瑚礁这个眼前的威胁，科学家还识别出多达25个其他主要气候临界点，随后的亚马逊雨林退化为干草原就是一个例子，目的就是举例说明全球多个主要生态/气候系统都面临严重威胁。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后两段“Coral reefs are not the only victim. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a crucial ocean current system, is endangered by warming below 2°C. A collapse here would disturb global weather patterns and agricultural systems on a massive scale.(珊瑚礁并非唯一的受害者。即便全球升温幅度低于2 °C，大西洋经向翻转环流仍将受到威胁。这里的一次崩溃将大规模地扰乱全球气候模式和农业系统)”及“However, despite these serious risks, there is hope in “positive tipping points”, such as the rapid adoption of electric vehicles and solar power. Lenton emphasizes that transformative solutions must be employed urgently to limit warming and avoid further shifts.(然而，尽管存在这些严重的风险，仍有“积极的临界点”带来希望，比如迅速采用电动汽车和太阳能能源。莱顿强调，必须紧急采取变革性的解决方案来限制变暖并避免进一步的转变)”可知，最后两段先说明还有其他气候系统（AMOC洋流）也濒临危险，结尾转折指出：虽然风险严重，但仍存在“积极临界点”比如清洁能源推广，所以最终结论是必须立刻采取变革性方案限制变暖，避免更多气候转变。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 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。选项有项为多余选项。 Getting back into exercise can be a challenge in the best of times, but with gyms and in-person exercise classes off-limits to many people these days, it can be tricky to know where to start. And it’s important to get the right amount of activity. “Too much too soon either results in injury or burnout,” says Mary Yoke, PhD. ____16____ ____17____ Don’t try to go back to what you were doing before your break. If you were walking 3 miles a day, playing 18 holes of golf three times a week, or lifting 10-pound dumbbells for three sets of 10 reps, reduce activity to half a mile every other day. Increase time, distance, and intensity gradually. “This isn’t something you can do overnight,” says Keri L. Denay, MD. If you’re breathing too hard to talk in complete sentences, back off. If you feel good, go a little longer or faster. ____18____ Go easier next time. And stay alert to serious symptoms, such as chest pain or pressure, severe shortness of breath or dizziness, or faintness, and seek medical attention immediately. Consistency is the key to getting stronger and building endurance. Ten minutes of activity per day is a good start. ____19____ All the experts we spoke with highly recommend walking because it’s the easiest, most accessible form of exercise. Although it can be a workout on its own, if your goal is to get back to Zumba classes, tennis, cycling, or any other activity, walking is also a great first step. Even if you can’t yet do a favorite activity, you can practice the moves. With or without a club or racket, swing like you’re hitting the ball. Paddle like you’re in a boat. Copy your favorite swimming moments. ____20____ A. Start Low, Go Slow. B. Aim High, Push Hard. C. Feeling wiped out after a session? D. You can also join a livestream exercise class. E. It can lay a solid foundation for your future exercise plans. F. This action will remind you of the joy the activity brought you. G. The following strategies will help you return to exercise safely after a break. 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. C 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在中断锻炼后如何安全地恢复运动，提出了循序渐进、量力而行、保持连贯等具体策略。 【16题详解】 上文“And it’s important to get the right amount of activity. “Too much too soon either results in injury or burnout,” says Mary Yoke, PhD.(获得适量的活动很重要。玛丽·约克博士说：“急于求成要么导致受伤，要么导致过度疲劳。”)”指出了恢复锻炼时掌握适当强度的重要性以及急于求成的风险，G选项“The following strategies will help you return to exercise safely after a break.(以下策略将帮助你在中断后安全地恢复锻炼)”承接上文，引出下文将要介绍的具体恢复策略，起到承上启下的过渡作用，其中“safely”与上文中“injury or burnout”的风险形成呼应，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 【17题详解】 设空处为段首句；下文“Don’t try to go back to what you were doing before your break. If you were walking 3 miles a day, playing 18 holes of golf three times a week, or lifting 10-pound dumbbells for three sets of 10 reps, reduce activity to half a mile every other day. Increase time, distance, and intensity gradually.(不要试图回到休息前的运动量。如果你之前每天步行3英里，每周打3次18洞高尔夫球，或者举10磅重的哑铃做3组10次重复，那么请将活动量减少到每隔一天走半英里。然后逐渐增加时间、距离和强度)”给出了恢复锻炼的具体建议——从较低强度开始，逐步增加。A选项“Start Low, Go Slow.(从低强度开始，循序渐进)”准确概括了本段主旨，强调了起始阶段要降低标准、缓慢推进的核心原则，适合做段首主题句。故选A项。 【18题详解】 下文“Go easier next time.(下次运动时放轻松些)”给出了针对特定情况的后续建议，C选项“Feeling wiped out after a session?(一次锻炼后感觉筋疲力尽?)”以问句形式设问，引出运动后可能出现的情况，与下文“Go easier next time”形成问答关系——如果感觉筋疲力尽，下次就轻松些，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。 【19题详解】 上文“Consistency is the key to getting stronger and building endurance. Ten minutes of activity per day is a good start.(坚持是变得更强壮和建立耐力的关键。每天十分钟的活动是一个好的开始)”指出了坚持的重要性和每日少量运动的起步价值，E选项“It can lay a solid foundation for your future exercise plans.(它可以为你未来的锻炼计划打下坚实的基础)”承接上文，进一步说明每天十分钟活动的作用——为未来更高强度的锻炼奠定基础，其中“It”指代上文中“Ten minutes of activity per day”，上下文逻辑一致。故选E项。 【20题详解】 上文“Even if you can’t yet do a favorite activity, you can practice the moves. With or without a club or racket, swing like you’re hitting the ball. Paddle like you’re in a boat. Copy your favorite swimming moments.(即使你还不能进行最喜欢的活动，你也可以练习动作。无论有没有球杆或球拍，像击球一样挥动。像在划船一样划桨。模仿你最喜欢的游泳时刻)”建议在无法进行完整运动时练习相关动作，F选项“This action will remind you of the joy the activity brought you.(这个动作会让你想起这项活动曾带给你的快乐)”承接上文，解释了练习这些动作的心理益处——唤起对运动的美好回忆和愉悦感，其中“This action”指代上文中提到的各种模仿动作，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It’s a very strange time to be a writer.

Would its ________ be felt were I to turn away from writing and focus on coding or engineering?”连续的自我疑问可知，作者对自身专业和未来充满疑惑与不确定。 【25题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我热爱撰写音乐评论，但这类写作是必不可少的吗。A. essential必不可少的；B. possible可能的；C. wrong错误的；D. temporary暂时的。根据后文“Does my writing contribute value to society”可知，作者深度反思自身的写作是否具备不可替代的核心价值。 【26题详解】 考查名词。句意：倘若我放弃写作，转而投身编程或工程领域，有人会感受到这份写作的缺失吗。A. meaning意义；B. creation创作；C. absence缺失；D. charm魅力。根据后文“focus on coding or engineering”可知，作者假设自己彻底放弃写作，思考外界能否感受到写作消失带来的影响。 【27题详解】 考查名词。句意：我无法向至亲之人询问这些内心的顾虑。A. changes改变；B. solutions解决办法；C. signs迹象；D. concerns顾虑。根据前文“But is this writing ______? Does my writing contribute value to society?”可知，作者接连提出诸多自我质疑，内心积攒了许多担忧与困惑，对应本空的顾虑。 【28题详解】 考查介词短语。句意：我无法向亲人询问这些顾虑，因为他们总会不顾现实处境一味鼓励我。A. due to由于；B. regardless of不管；C. apart from除了；D. but for要不是。根据前文“The flood of AI “art” shows a proportion of society is willing to ________ writers more than ever before. 可知，现实中写作价值被社会低估，处境并不乐观；而家人的鼓励不会顾及这一现实现状。 【29题详解】 考查动词。句意：这些思绪重重压在我的心头，直到我近期阅读了西格丽德·努涅斯的《朋友》一书。A. mattered要紧；B. conflicted冲突；C. weighed重压；D. struck撞击。根据后文“until I recently read The Friend by Sigrid Nunez”可知，在阅读书籍获得启发之前，作者一直被各类消极疑惑的思绪困扰、内心倍感沉重。 【30题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：这本书有力地探讨了友谊，同时也深入探究了写作的价值。A. dives into深入探究；B. calls for呼吁；C. sets aside搁置；D. makes up编造。根据后文“they can’t ______ with those of farmers or construction workers”可知，书籍深入分析、探究写作独特的价值属性。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：正如书中所言，写作的价值无法与农民、建筑工人的价值相比较，后者为人们提供直接且有形的帮助。A. combine结合；B. interact互动；C. deal处理；D. compare比较。根据后文“which provide direct, tangible (有形的) aid to people.”可知，两种价值形式不同，无法放在一起衡量对比。 【32题详解】 考查形容词。句意：写作所具备的潜在价值是无形的。A. unpredictable不可预测的；B. invisible无形的；C. accessible可获取的；D. believable可信的。根据前文“which provide direct, tangible (有形的) aid to people.”可知，农民、建筑工人的价值是有形切实的，与之对比，写作的精神价值无法直观看见，属于无形价值。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：进行创造是人类的天性，无论创造的事物有形或是无形。A. attempt尝试；B. dream梦想；C. nature天性；D. pressure压力。根据后文“Creativity is what has ______ humans across our existence”可知，创造能力是人类与生俱来的本能与天性。 【34题详解】 考查动词。句意：创造力是人类在漫长发展进程中定义自身独特性的关键。A. liberated解放；B. challenged挑战；C. limited限制；D. defined定义。根据后文“It’s what drives an author to tell a story — something AI lacks”可知，独有的创造力是人类区别于人工智能、定义自我的核心特质。 【35题详解】 考查动词。句意：所以我会坚持写作，不论这条道路最终会将我带向何方。A. writing写作；B. reading阅读；C. waiting等待；D. trying尝试。根据前文“Creativity is what drives an author to tell a story — something AI lacks”可知，作者明白人类创作具有AI无法替代的独特价值，因此决定继续坚持创作。 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 In a remote valley in southern Guizhou province ____36____ (lie) Huanggang, an 800-year-old village.

Historically 42. to signal 43. a 44. inspired 45. what 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了贵州南部偏远山谷中拥有800年历史的黄冈侗寨，讲述了当地侗族人民保留的传统稻鱼鸭农耕体系、鼓楼文化和侗族大歌，展现了侗族人与自然和谐共生、坚守民族文化的生活图景。 【36题详解】 考查倒装句与时态。句意：在贵州南部的一个偏远山谷里，坐落着一座拥有800年历史的村庄——黄冈。本句为倒装句，陈述客观存在的事实，用一般现在时，主语Huanggang为单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式lies。 【37题详解】 考查现在完成时被动语态。句意：近年来，连接村庄的道路已经修建完成，但这个拥有近2000名侗族人民的社区仍然保持着传统的农耕生活方式，日出而作，日落而息。根据时间状语“In recent years”，可知句子用现在完成时；主语roads与动词build之间是被动关系，故用现在完成时被动语态，主语为复数，用have been built。 【38题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：近年来，连接村庄的道路已经修建完成，但这个拥有近2000名侗族人民的社区仍然保持着传统的农耕生活方式，日出而作，日落而息。固定搭配“rise with the sun”意为“日出而作”，符合“传统农耕生活方式”的语境，故填with。 【39题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这种体系已经沿用了几个世纪，使侗族人民能够与土地和谐共处，同时维持着一个既高产又可持续的食物体系。and连接两个并列的形容词，作定语修饰名词food system；produce对应的形容词为productive，意为“高产的”，与sustainable构成并列关系。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：黄冈有五座鼓楼，每一座都代表着一个家族。逗号前后没有连词，且each与动词represent之间是主动关系，故用现在分词representing构成独立主格结构。 【41题详解】 考查副词。句意：从历史上看，顶楼会放置一面鼓，当有重大事件或火灾等紧急情况时，人们会击鼓示意。此处修饰整个句子，需用副词；history对应的副词为historically，意为“从历史上；历来”，置于句首首字母大写。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：从历史上看，顶楼会放置一面鼓，当有重大事件或火灾等紧急情况时，人们会击鼓示意。“击鼓”的目的是“示意重大事件或紧急情况”，用不定式to signal作目的状语。 【43题详解】 考查冠词。句意：在村庄的一座鼓楼里，侗族妇女聚集在一起唱大歌，这是他们文化中核心的一种合唱传统。此处为“一种合唱传统”，表泛指；choral以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a修饰。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们仍然会演唱那些源于800年前关于友谊、自然和爱情故事的歌曲。songs与动词inspire之间是被动关系，即“歌曲被800年前的故事启发”，故用过去分词inspired作后置定语，修饰songs。 【45题详解】 考查表语从句引导词。句意：这种理念正是几个世纪以来塑造侗族人民身份认同的核心所在。此处引导表语从句，从句中缺少主语，指代“塑造侗族人民身份认同的事物”，故用what引导。 第四部分：写作(共两节;满分40分) 第一节：应用文写作(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，作为高三优秀学生代表，你被邀请在高一新生入学典礼上进行英文演讲。内容包括： 1．分享自己的高中生活感悟； 2．给新生提出高中学习和生活的建议；3．表达对新生的祝福和期望。 注意：1．词数80左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Good morning, dear freshmen, I’m Li Hua, honored to speak here as a senior three student.

I was the girl who finished her laps last in gym class, the girl who was breathless after two flights of stairs, and the girl who complained of pain after a two-minute jog. Pretty sad, really. But a few years ago, I changed my tune. I was walking with a group of friends in the Race for the Cure, a race to raise money for the fight against breast cancer, when one lady caught my eye. She was one of the weakest looking women I'd ever seen. She must have been close to seventy years old, wearing a hat to cover her bald head and a T-shirt with the word “Survivor”. She was so small that it seemed as if a swift breeze could tip her over. But, she was running. And she was passing me and my group of twenty-something friends. I couldn't stop staring at her. She ran slowly, but determinedly — as if each step pushed her cancer further into her past. She was practically walking on her cancer every time her feet touched the ground. Then, I looked at my friends. Here we were, in the best time of our lives, and this seventy-year-old cancer survivor was kicking our butts! Right at that moment, I swore that in the nextRace for the Cure, I'd be running along with her. A week later, I found myself at the gym. I got on and started to jog. Three minutes after I started, my face was bright red. I was sweating and felt like my lungs were going to burst. I had to slow down to walk. I thought about the woman at the race. She made it look so easy. I kept it up. I was able to go a little longer each time. Three and a half minutes. Four minutes. Five. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 A year later, I was at the Race for the Cure again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I was giving up, I saw the woman from the year before. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A year later, I was at the Race for the Cure again. This time my legs carried not just the weight of my body, but the memory of every early morning and aching evening I had spent pushing myself further. When the race started, I concentrated on the simple motion: the lift of a knee, the push of a foot and the swing of an arm. For a fleeting moment, lost in the rhythm, I could almost believe I’d be running along with her. But the illusion was fragile. By the second mile, my legs felt like rubber, screaming with familiar exhaustion. By the third mile, my breath came in gasps and a voice in my head screamed at me to stop. When I was giving up, I saw the woman from the year before. The morning sun glinted off her “Survivor” shirt, which shone like a quiet beacon. She wasn’t looking at the runners around her, her gaze fixed on the road ahead, steady and untiring. Seeing her, a fresh wave of determination washed over me. The burn in my lungs and the ache in my legs didn’t vanish, but they no longer mattered. This time, I wasn’t just running a race. I was running toward the person I had sworn to become, following in the footsteps of the woman who had taught me that true strength lies in the fire inside you, the same fire I had learned to keep alive, one stride at a time. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，作者曾经是一个完全不擅长运动、甚至连慢跑都难以坚持的女孩，几年前在一场为抗击乳腺癌筹款的公益跑步活动中，看到一位年近七十、光头的癌症幸存者依然坚定地跑步，还超越了年轻的自己和朋友们，深受触动与激励。此后作者下定决心开始锻炼，从只能坚持三分钟慢跑逐步进步。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“一年后，我再次参加了“为治愈赛跑”公益活动。”可知，第一段可描写作者再次参加比赛时的心理活动以及比赛开始后作者的状态。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在我快要放弃的时候，我看到了去年那位女士”可知，第二段可描写那位女士跑步时的情况以及作者在她的榜样作用下坚持比赛和作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：心理活动——感到疲惫——想要放弃——在榜样激励下坚持比赛——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①集中精力于：concentrate on/focus on/throw oneself in ②消失：vanish/fade away ③重要：matter/count 情绪类 ①决心：determination/resolution ②不知疲倦的：untiring/tireless 【点睛】[高分句型1] This time my legs carried not just the weight of my body, but the memory of every early morning and aching evening I had spent pushing myself further.

In 2012, her eldest daughter suffered severe injuries during an argument in Kansas City, Missouri. Last year, the single mother lost her job in the hard times. She had only $7 in her pocket as she headed into the grocery store one day last July with her 12-year-old daughter, Rakiya Edmondson. And then luck finally turned Sims’ way. She and her daughter found a dollar bill in the parking lot. Maybe this was their day, they told each other. So they bought a lottery ticket (彩票) — and won $100. But before they could spend their windfall, Rakiya had an idea. The news in Kansas City that week had been filled with stories about a police officer, Tyler Moss, who had been shot in the head in the line of duty. He was in critical condition. Rakiya and her mother had never forgotten how kind the police had been after their own family member was attacked. “The detectives were really there for us,” Sims says. “They came to see my kids. They were fathers, therapists (治疗师). They were everything.” Rakiya wanted to give their lottery winnings to Officer Moss’s family. Her mom readily agreed. On July 10, Sims called the police and made an anonymous (匿名的) donation. Moved by her generous act, the officers did what they do best — they tracked Sims down. When she explained the family’s motivation, the officers could hardly believe it. “With her current financial hardship, we encouraged her to keep the money,” the department later explained. “She refused, saying the officer’s family needed it and police needed to know they were supported.” By then, that feeling of support was mutual. The police set up a GoFundMe page for Sims and her daughter, whom they named “The Woman with the Heart of Gold.” Their goal was ＄10,000. By January 11, 2021, they had raised ＄165,405. Even better: Officer Moss, who had a 1 percent chance of survival, is out of the hospital and recovering. 4. What does the underlined word “windfall” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Devoted effort. B. Poor times. C. Unexpected money. D. Lucky days. 5. What made the Sims decide to donate the lottery winnings? A. Desire for public praise. B. Gratitude for past police kindness. C. Hope for financial return. D. Sympathy for Officer Moss’s family. 6. Why did the police track down Sims after the donation? A. To return the money. B. To help the family. C. To report her in public. D. To find the truth. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Lottery Win That Brought Mutual Warmth B. A Police Officer Who Got Support from a Stranger C. A Poor Family Whose Life Was Changed by Faith D. A Kind Police Team That Helped a Single Mother C A new artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by the Chinese company behind social media rocked Hollywood this week — not just because of what it can do, but what it could mean for creative industries. Created by tech giant ByteDance, Seedance 2.0 can generate cinema-quality video, complete with sound effects and dialogue, from just a few written prompts (提示词). Many of the clips said to have been made using Seedance, and featuring popular characters like Spider-Man and Deadpool, became popular. “For the first time, this doesn’t just look good for AI — it looks like real film production.” says Jan-Willem Blom from creative studio Videostate. Western AI video models have made progress in processing user instructions to make amazing images, he adds, but Seedance seems to have tied everything together. Like other AI tools-Midjourney and OpenAI’s Sora-Seedance can create videos from short text prompts. In some cases just one prompt seems to be producing high-quality videos. It is particularly impressive because it combines text, visuals and audio in a single system, AI ethics researcher Margaret Mitchell says. Seedance’s impact is being measured by an unlikely test: how well it generates a clip of Will Smith eating spaghetti. Not only can Seedance create a remarkably life-like version of the star eating a plate of pasta, it has also created popular videos of Smith battling a spaghetti monster — and it looks and feels like a big-budget movie. Many industry experts and filmmakers believe Seedance is a new chapter in the development of video-generating technology. The complex action sequences it is producing look more realistic than its competitors, says David Kwok, who runs a Singapore-based animation studio called Tiny Island Productions. “It almost feels like having a cinematographer or director of photography specialising in action films assisting you.” However, Seedance has run into trouble over copyright (版权) issues, a growing challenge in the age of AI. Experts warn that AI companies are prioritising technology over people as they make more powerful tools and use data without paying for it. 8. What does the author highlight about Seedance in paragraph 1? A. Its focus on social media. B. Its competition with Hollywood. C. Its ability to generate hot figures. D. Its influence on creative industries. 9. How does Seedance differ from Western AI video models? A. It integrates multi-media elements. B. It creates single amazing images. C.

D The precise timing of Earth’s climate tipping points — moments at which human-caused climate change will lead to permanent planetary changes — has long been debated. But new evidence suggests they may be closer than we think. A recent report warns that Earth has already crossed its first critical tipping point. The study, conducted by the University of Exeter, identifies warm-water coral reefs as the first system to surpass this threshold (阈值) of 1.5 °C. Plagued by a combination of rising ocean temperatures, acidification, overfishing, and pollution, corals are experiencing widespread diseases and mass death. A significant loss of these reefs is now inescapable unless global temperatures are capped at 1°C or lower. “We’re in a new climate reality,” said Tim Lenton, the report’s lead author. He confirms that crossing this initial tipping point virtually guarantees exceeding the 1.5°C warming threshold, making the planet a “danger zone” for more severe changes. The World Meteorological Organization predicts this critical threshold will be reached within five years, leading to more intense extreme weather and shortages of food and water. Beyond this immediate threat, scientists have identified up to 25 other major tipping points. These include the Amazon rainforest’s potential transition from a carbon sink into a dried-up grassland, and the permanent melting of polar ice. This darkening surface speeds up warming as dark ocean water absorbs far more heat than reflective ice. Alarmingly, 80% of coral reefs have already been under severe heat stress. Their death would be disastrous, as they sustain fisheries and protect coastlines. With one of the lowest temperature thresholds, corals are the first major ecosystem to be compromised. Coral reefs are not the only victim. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a crucial ocean current system, is endangered by warming below 2°C. A collapse here would disturb global weather patterns and agricultural systems on a massive scale. However, despite these serious risks, there is hope in “positive tipping points”, such as the rapid adoption of electric vehicles and solar power. Lenton emphasizes that transformative solutions must be employed urgently to limit warming and avoid further shifts. 12. What does the underlined phrase “Plagued by” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Resulting in. B. Suffering from. C. Counting on. D. Accounting for. 13. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Not all predictions are reliable. B. Climate change is no longer a threat. C. Tougher challenges may be unavoidable. D. Global warming has been temporarily stopped. 14. Why is the Amazon rainforest mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To highlight forests’ capacity to recover naturally. B. To compare its carbon absorption with polar ice’s. C. To emphasize the necessity of protecting biodiversity. D. To illustrate the severity of threats to major ecosystems. 15. What conclusion can be reached from the last two paragraphs? A. Risks and profits go hand in hand. B. The collapse of AMOC is predictable. C. Clean energy have addressed the climate crisis. D. Immediate action is needed to turn things around. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 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。选项有项为多余选项。 Getting back into exercise can be a challenge in the best of times, but with gyms and in-person exercise classes off-limits to many people these days, it can be tricky to know where to start. And it’s important to get the right amount of activity. “Too much too soon either results in injury or burnout,” says Mary Yoke, PhD. ____16____ ____17____ Don’t try to go back to what you were doing before your break. If you were walking 3 miles a day, playing 18 holes of golf three times a week, or lifting 10-pound dumbbells for three sets of 10 reps, reduce activity to half a mile every other day. Increase time, distance, and intensity gradually. “This isn’t something you can do overnight,” says Keri L. Denay, MD. If you’re breathing too hard to talk in complete sentences, back off. If you feel good, go a little longer or faster. ____18____ Go easier next time. And stay alert to serious symptoms, such as chest pain or pressure, severe shortness of breath or dizziness, or faintness, and seek medical attention immediately. Consistency is the key to getting stronger and building endurance. Ten minutes of activity per day is a good start. ____19____ All the experts we spoke with highly recommend walking because it’s the easiest, most accessible form of exercise. Although it can be a workout on its own, if your goal is to get back to Zumba classes, tennis, cycling, or any other activity, walking is also a great first step. Even if you can’t yet do a favorite activity, you can practice the moves. With or without a club or racket, swing like you’re hitting the ball. Paddle like you’re in a boat. Copy your favorite swimming moments. ____20____ A. Start Low, Go Slow. B. Aim High, Push Hard. C. Feeling wiped out after a session? D. You can also join a livestream exercise class. E. It can lay a solid foundation for your future exercise plans. F. This action will remind you of the joy the activity brought you. G. The following strategies will help you return to exercise safely after a break. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It’s a very strange time to be a writer.

I was the girl who finished her laps last in gym class, the girl who was breathless after two flights of stairs, and the girl who complained of pain after a two-minute jog. Pretty sad, really. But a few years ago, I changed my tune. I was walking with a group of friends in the Race for the Cure, a race to raise money for the fight against breast cancer, when one lady caught my eye. She was one of the weakest looking women I'd ever seen. She must have been close to seventy years old, wearing a hat to cover her bald head and a T-shirt with the word “Survivor”. She was so small that it seemed as if a swift breeze could tip her over. But, she was running. And she was passing me and my group of twenty-something friends. I couldn't stop staring at her. She ran slowly, but determinedly — as if each step pushed her cancer further into her past. She was practically walking on her cancer every time her feet touched the ground. Then, I looked at my friends. Here we were, in the best time of our lives, and this seventy-year-old cancer survivor was kicking our butts! Right at that moment, I swore that in the nextRace for the Cure, I'd be running along with her. A week later, I found myself at the gym. I got on and started to jog. Three minutes after I started, my face was bright red. I was sweating and felt like my lungs were going to burst. I had to slow down to walk. I thought about the woman at the race. She made it look so easy. I kept it up. I was able to go a little longer each time. Three and a half minutes. Four minutes. Five. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 A year later, I was at the Race for the Cure again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I was giving up, I saw the woman from the year before. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
