It’s nothing short of miraculous (奇迹般的) that these people lived to tell their stories. I’m so relieved they did and so grateful to have their experience and advice in hand should I ever have to face such horrific emergencies. JESSICA ROSS, Parker, Colorado After going through the account of the grizzly bear attack, I just had to make a comment. When you have to call out “Hey, bear” every 30 seconds because there are so many bears in the area, it could be a sign that maybe you should pick a safer place to hike. GLENDA CHIARA, Cortland, New York “Disastrous Mistakes” After working for 47 years as an RN in an acute-care hospital, I retired and with relief said, “I made it! I didn’t cause any deadly mistakes.” Only then did I realize the tension I had felt all those years, even though I loved my work. Thanks for helping to make the public aware of the situation. BONNIE BACH, Peoria, Illinois As a pharmacy technician, I work every day with the constant fear and realization that I could make an error that could kill or injure someone. The system is rife with (充满) opportunities for errors. Yet whom will the patient, my employer, the law, and even I blame? Me. GERTRUDE SVOBODA, via e-mail 1. What do Jessica Ross and Glenda Chiara have in common? A. Survivors of a bear attack. B. Authors of hiking adventures. C. Advisors on emergency safety. D. Readers of the featured article. 2. What message does Disastrous Mistakes probably convey? A. Deep anxieties over medical failures. B. Criticism of the whole medical system. C. Awareness of deadly medical error risks. D. Practical ways to avoid medical mistakes. 3. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A magazine. B. A novel. C. A research paper. D. A guidebook. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了刊物刊登的两篇专题文章，收到多位读者来信评论：读者分别分享对《我幸存下来了！》野外遇险故事的读后感，还有医疗行业从业者针对《灾难性失误》一文，倾诉医疗工作中时刻担忧出错、医疗系统易出现失误的内心感受。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文JESSICA ROSS, Parker, Colorado部分“I anxiously held my breath as I read these accounts.(我读这些故事时紧张得屏住了呼吸。)” 以及GLENDA CHIARA, Cortland, New York部分“After going through the account of the grizzly bear attack, I just had to make a comment.(读完这次灰熊袭击事件的记述后，我忍不住想发表评论。)” 可知，二人都是专题文章的读者，读完文章后发表读后感评论。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文GERTRUDE SVOBODA, via e-mail部分“As a pharmacy technician, I work every day with the constant fear and realization that I could make an error that could kill or injure someone.(作为一名药剂师助理，我每天工作时都时刻担忧并清楚自己一旦出错就可能造成他人伤亡。)” 可知，《灾难性失误》一文旨在让人们意识到医疗失误可能致命的风险。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文开头“Letters COMMENTS ON THE APRIL ISSUE (读者来信 四月刊评论)” 以及多位读者针对刊物文章发表评论的形式可知，本文最有可能选自一本杂志。 B I’ve often heard parents describing exam season as going into a war, or an incredibly harsh winter, for the entire family. Not just the person taking the GCSEs or A-levels, but the whole lot of you have to start having early nights, gird your loins (准备就绪), and get used to mood swings and anxiety attacks. It’s sort of true. However, it also depends quite a lot on the personality of the exam-taker. Some of them want to be tested on the groyne (防波堤) height of a beach in Hastings and practise talking about the climate crisis in French; others want you to butt out completely, allowing them to focus on their revision undisturbed. Both approaches seem pretty reasonable to me. I’d forgotten one thing — the terrible guilt. Maybe it’s because the Easter holidays weren’t sunny last year, or maybe it’s because the youngest is my favourite (I am joking), but the guilt is just awful. It’s like having a little Cinderella in the house, except I’m not the audience — I’m the evil stepmother. Fancy going to the beach, or to a party? What about a lovely lie-in, and then some re-runs of The Office? What about a ball — you know there are some great balls on? Everyone can do exactly as they wish, except the Cinderellas upstairs, who’s trying to memorise the whole of Great Expectations, while the rest of us — even the people who did the same text last year — sit around going: “Is that the one about the orphanage and the porridge?” We can’t even do positive visualisations of the summer, when it’ll all be over, as that just reminds the poor rag-dressed creature of the time period between now and then. Really, the only way to offset (抵消) this guilt would be to memorise Great Expectations myself. But I don’t want to. The sun’s out. 4. What do parents compare exam season to? A. A joyful celebration. B. A difficult time. C. A fierce competition. D. A tough mission. 5. What does the underlined phrase “butt out” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Leave them alone. B. Put up with them. C. Give them a hand. D. Talk with them openly. 6. Why does the author feel guilty? A. She forgets something terribly important. B. She fails to provide effective motivation for the child. C. She regrets missing out on quality time with the child. D. She is troubled by the family’s ease and the child’s hard work. 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Different mindsets for A-level exam preparations. B. Approaches to dealing with exam stress effectively. C. The importance of family support during exams. D. The mixed feelings of families during exam season. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了考试季备考学生压力巨大、全家都跟着紧张，而家人一边享受休闲放松生活，一边看着孩子辛苦备考，内心充满愧疚与复杂心情。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段 “I’ve often heard parents describing exam season as going into a war, or an incredibly harsh winter, for the entire family.(我经常听到家长把考试季比作一场战争，或是对全家人而言一个无比难熬的寒冬。)”可知，家长把考试季比作一段艰难难熬的时期。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文第一段“others want you to butt out completely, allowing them to focus on their revision undisturbed.(另一些人则希望你完全butt out，让他们不受干扰地专心复习。)”可知，一些人希望不受打扰，专心复习，故butt out表示“别插手、别打扰”。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第二段“Everyone can do exactly as they wish, except the Cinderellas upstairs, who’s trying to memorise the whole of Great Expectations, while the rest of us — even the people who did the same text last year — sit around going: “Is that the one about the orphanage and the porridge?”(所有人都可以随心所欲、自在生活，唯独楼上那位像灰姑娘一样苦熬备考的孩子，正努力背诵整部《远大前程》；而我们其余人 —— 哪怕有人去年也学过这篇名著 —— 却悠闲闲坐，随口聊着：“是不是那本讲孤儿院和粥的书？”)” 可知，作者因家人悠闲自在而孩子辛苦备考，内心备受愧疚困扰。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第一段 “I’ve often heard parents describing exam season as going into a war, or an incredibly harsh winter, for the entire family.(我经常听到家长把考试季比作一场战争，或是对全家人而言一个无比难熬的寒冬。)”及全文内容可知，文章讲述考试季学生备考压力大，全家生活受影响，家人看着孩子辛苦学习、自己却享受休闲时光，内心五味杂陈、充满愧疚，表达了考试季家庭成员复杂交织的心情。 C Last year, a high school student in Maryland was put in handcuffs (手铐) after his school’s AI surveillance system (监控系统) marked the chip bag in his pocket as a handgun. The incident was not an isolated mistake. Across the country, AI detection tools have been quietly marking the U.S. Declaration of Independence as “99.9% AI-generated.” Shakespeare’s plays? Clearly the output of a sophisticated language model. One professor discovered his 45-year-old academic paper was considered 77% AI-written — even though the technology did not exist when he composed it. These episodes point to a fundamental limitation in artificial intelligence that technical benchmarks (基准) fail to capture. AI does not lack processing power; it lacks the capacity to step back and recognize absurdity (the quality of being silly or unreasonable). The detection software marks Jefferson’s writing as made by AI because it is too polished, too structurally perfect. The system has been trained on a wrong idea: that human writing is, relatively speaking, logically messy and machine-produced output is naturally clean. When it encounters a human who writes with precision, the system’s logic collapses. This weakness extends beyond writing analysis. AI does not excel at grasping irony (讽刺) or context — the very ingredients of human judgment. It operates by calculating probabilities based on patterns in its training data. A bag and a handgun may share enough visual features in low resolution to cause a match. The machine does not stop to consider whether it is likely for a teenager to carry a weapon made of corn chips. It cannot, because common sense is not a statistical category. What we are witnessing is not machine intelligence in any meaningful sense. It is pattern recognition at scale, lacking the reflective distance that allows humans to question their own assumptions. An AI does not know when it is being foolish. And a system that cannot recognize its own absurdity is not a thinking being — it is a mirror reflecting our data back at us, mistakes and all. The real danger is not that machines will become too clever. It is that we will start trusting their confident mistakes. 8. Why does the author mention the Maryland high school incident? A. To criticize the excessive use of surveillance in schools. B. To illustrate AI’s inability to interpret context appropriately. C. To argue that AI surveillance systems should be banned. D. To highlight the dangers of students bringing weapons to campus. 9. Which of the following best matches how the AI tools in the passage work? A. An AI music app sorts a slow song into the “healing” list. B. A customer’s ironic review is read by AI as sincere praise. C. A neatly written essay is identified as written by a human. D. A security AI judges an umbrella as a gun because rain wets its camera. 10. What is the author’s overall attitude toward current AI systems? A. Enthusiastic optimism about their future potential. B. Neutral reporting without clear personal views. C. Skeptical concern about their fundamental limitations. D. Sharp criticism of certain weaknesses in the technology. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. The Absurd Mistakes of AI Detection. B. Why AI Cannot Replace Human Judgment. C. AI Tools with Sharp Power but Limited Sense. D. Never Fully Trust AI’s Confident Errors. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了当下人工智能检测系统频频出现荒诞误判，究其原因是AI只依靠模式和概率运算，缺乏常识、语境理解与辨别荒谬的能力，不懂讽刺和情理逻辑，作者警示人们不要盲目相信AI看似笃定的错误判断。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“Last year, a high school student in Maryland was put in handcuffs after his school’s AI surveillance system marked the chip bag in his pocket as a handgun.(去年，马里兰州一名高中生被戴上了手铐，原因是学校的人工智能监控系统把他口袋里的薯片袋误判成了手枪。)”及第二段“These episodes point to a fundamental limitation in artificial intelligence that technical benchmarks fail to capture. AI does not lack processing power; it lacks the capacity to step back and recognize absurdity (the quality of being silly or unreasonable).(这些事件暴露出人工智能存在一种根本性缺陷，而这类缺陷是技术评估标准无法涵盖的。人工智能并不缺运算能力；它缺少的是抽身审视、辨别荒诞不合理之处的能力。)”可知，作者列举马里兰州高中生被误判的事件，是为了说明人工智能无法恰当解读现实语境、只会机械匹配特征。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“AI does not excel at grasping irony or context — the very ingredients of human judgment. It operates by calculating probabilities based on patterns in its training data.(人工智能并不擅长理解反讽与语境——而这恰恰是人类判断力的核心要素。它只会依据训练数据里的各类模式，通过概率计算来运行判断。)”可知，AI只会机械匹配表面特征、无法理解深层含义，把带有讽刺意味的评论误当成真诚赞美，和文中AI的工作原理一致。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第二段“These episodes point to a fundamental limitation in artificial intelligence that technical benchmarks fail to capture.(这些事件暴露出人工智能存在技术标准无法涵盖的根本性局限。)”及最后一段“The real danger is not that machines will become too clever. It is that we will start trusting their confident mistakes.(真正的危险不在于机器会变得过于聪明，而在于我们会开始相信它们那些笃定的错误判断。)”可知，作者对当下人工智能的固有局限持怀疑且担忧的态度。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第二段“These episodes point to a fundamental limitation in artificial intelligence that technical benchmarks fail to capture. AI does not lack processing power; it lacks the capacity to step back and recognize absurdity (the quality of being silly or unreasonable).(这些事件暴露出人工智能存在一种根本性缺陷，而这类缺陷是技术评估标准无法涵盖的。人工智能并不缺运算能力；它缺少的是抽身审视、辨别荒诞不合理之处的能力。)”及第四段“AI does not excel at grasping irony or context — the very ingredients of human judgment. It operates by calculating probabilities based on patterns in its training data.(人工智能并不擅长理解反讽与语境——而这恰恰是人类判断力的核心要素。它只会依据训练数据里的各类模式，通过概率计算来运行判断。)”并结合全文内容可知，文章既肯定AI具备强大运算识别能力，又重点论述其缺乏常识、思辨与语境理解的局限，C项“人工智能工具本领强大，却缺乏常识与思辨能力”可概括文章主旨。 D Considered nature’s engineers, beavers (河狸) build dams across streams to create ponds. They are a key species due to their significant impact on streams, the movement of water, water quality, and the other animals that live there. Beavers can change their environments mainly through dam construction. The effects of these dams can be different in geographical regions, but scientists do not have a clear understanding of how they affect water quality, habitat, and sedimentation (沉积). “Due to limited study, some research scientists must make decisions on how the conservation, expansion, and reintroduction of beavers can make a difference to their local streams based on findings from ecosystems that are more frequently studied and better understood,” said EPA researcher Ken Fritz. Ken Fritz, Johnson, Heather Golden, and Brent Johnson, in collaboration with other researchers from Miami University, Ohio, conducted a scientific literature review to better understand how beaver dams influence stream systems across different biogeographical regions. Their paper used 267 peer-reviewed studies to quantify the effects of beaver dams. The literature review found that beaver dams had profound environmental effects. The impacts on stream morphology (形态学) and water movement were similar across geographical regions. Stream health also appeared to improve with beaver conservation. Specifically, results show that while nitrate and suspended sediments decreased downstream from beaver dams, pollutants like methyl mercury, dissolved organic carbon, and ammonium concentrations increased. Total nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations tended to not be affected by beaver dams. The effects beaver dams have on pollutants vary depending on environmental conditions — like temperature, sunlight, water velocity and depth — that aid in changing and transporting certain pollutants. On a larger scale, beaver dams slow water flow and increase sedimentation, and most pollutants likely settle out of the water into sediments upstream of the beaver dam. These areas could become zones of high concentration of some harmful pollutants for exposed wildlife. These findings can be useful for stream conservation and restoration efforts that introduce or protect beavers. Additional studies are needed in dry or cold biomes historically occupied by beavers and in new environments where beaver populations are currently expanding. 12. What impact do beaver dams have on the environment? A. Water quality and living habitats. B. The climate of different regions. C. The safety of other wildlife. D. The increasing number of plant species. 13. What can we conclude about the influence of beaver dams? A. They effectively reduce all types of pollutants in streams. B. They may create hidden environmental risks for wildlife nearby. C. They mainly control pollution by changing water temperature and sunlight. D. They lead to higher concentrations of harmful pollutants downstream. 14. How did the researchers carry out their study? A. By conducting a literature review on beavers. B. By observing wild beavers in different regions. C. By summarizing plenty of previous related studies. D. By inventing a novel approach to protect stream systems. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Current research on beavers is far from complete. B. Beaver protection has greatly improved stream health. C. Dry and cold regions are ideal habitats for beavers. D. Stream restoration relies mainly on beaver introduction. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了河狸被称为大自然的工程师，科研人员通过梳理大量已有研究分析了河狸大坝在不同地域对水流、河道形态、各类污染物的具体作用，同时指出相关研究仍有不足，还需在更多区域开展深入研究，研究成果也可为河流生态保护修复提供参考。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“They are a key species due to their significant impact on streams, the movement of water, water quality, and the other animals that live there.(河狸是关键物种，因为它们对溪流、水流、水质以及栖息在那里的其他动物都有着重大影响。)” 可知，河狸大坝会对水质和生物栖息环境产生影响。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第五段“These areas could become zones of high concentration of some harmful pollutants for exposed wildlife.(这些区域可能成为暴露在外的野生动物面临某些有害污染物高度聚集的地带。)” 可知，河狸大坝可能给周边野生动物带来潜在的环境隐患。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Their paper used 267 peer-reviewed studies to quantify the effects of beaver dams.(他们的论文参考了267项经过同行评审的研究，以此量化河狸大坝产生的影响。)” 可知，研究人员通过汇总大量以往相关研究开展本次研究。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Additional studies are needed in dry or cold biomes historically occupied by beavers and in new environments where beaver populations are currently expanding.(在河狸历史栖息的干旱或寒冷生态区，以及河狸种群目前正在扩张的新环境中，仍需开展更多研究。)”可知，目前关于河狸的相关研究还远远不够完善。 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。 The National Southwest Associated University (Lianda) existed for only eight years during the Sino-Japanese War, yet it produced an extraordinary number of leading scholars and scientists. Its educational philosophy and methods continue to offer valuable lessons for higher education today. ●Democratic and theoretical approaches to education Lianda brought together distinguished professors from Peking, Tsinghua, and Nankai Universities. Most had studied abroad and were familiar with both Eastern and Western thought. They encouraged academic freedom and welcomed diverse viewpoints in the classroom. ____16____. This open atmosphere not only motivated professors but also broadened students’ intellectual horizons. ●____17____ In 1938, Lianda organized a walking group of over 200 teachers and students to travel about 1,300 kilometers from Changsha to Kunming. Along the way, they studied local customs, geography, and the hardships faced by ordinary people. ____18____. This journey became a powerful spiritual force that encouraged students to persevere in their studies and dedicate themselves to the nation. ●Typical education method with teachers as an example President Mei Yiqi famously compared a university to water and its teachers and students to fish, saying that “big fish guide small fish.” He insisted that professors should be the heart of the university. Professors such as Zhu Ziqing and Wu Dayou were known for their strictness, deep learning, and strong patriotism. ____19____. As a result, students dared not be lazy and strove to meet high standards. ●Unique educational value and thought Lianda’s success highlights the importance of professor-led governance and social practice in higher education. Management by professors helped create a strong academic atmosphere. ____20____. Social practice, as shown by the long march, deepened students’ understanding of their country and strengthened their patriotic commitment. A. The spirit of sports and perseverance in education B. Students thus realized the vastness and beauty of their motherland C. Professors became living moral examples for students D. The long march was primarily a military training exercise E. Different teaching methods and free discussion were strongly encouraged F. Modern universities can learn much from Lianda’s experience G. Learning through social practice 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. B 19.

But they shouldn’t be the only thing that matters.”请你向该专栏投稿，内容包括： （1）你对这句话的理解； （2）结合自身或身边人的经历，谈谈你的看法。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I totally agree with the topic “Looks do matter. But they shouldn’t be the only thing that matters.” While a pleasant appearance can leave a good first impression, it never truly defines a person’s value. My classmate Lily is a perfect example. She is not conventionally beautiful, but she is always ready to help others and works hard on her studies. Gradually, her kindness and positive attitude won her the respect and friendship of everyone in our class. True beauty lies in one’s heart and actions, not just the face. We should focus more on developing our inner qualities instead of only caring about how we look. After all, it is kindness and character that make a person truly shine. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生为校英文报心理专栏投稿，围绕“外表重要，但不应成为唯一重要的东西”这一话题，阐述个人理解并结合实例表达看法。 【详解】1.词汇积累 完全地：totally → absolutely 在于：lie in → consist in 培养：develop → cultivate 集中注意力：focus on → concentrate on 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：True beauty lies in one’s heart and actions, not just the face. 拓展句：True beauty lies in one’s heart and actions, which is far more important than one’s facial appearance. 【点睛】【高分句型 1】While a pleasant appearance can leave a good first impression, it never truly defines a person’s value. (运用了while引导的让步状语从句) 【高分句型 2】After all, it is kindness and character that make a person truly shine. (运用了it is...that强调句型) 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。续写的词数应为150左右。 The doorbell rang, and I looked up from the couch to see the last group to arrive. It was Cousin Joey, her husband, Finn, and their little daughter, Nova. I hadn’t seen them in a while. My father’s side of the family would have family gatherings every Saturday evening in my Granny’s place, but I hadn’t been attending them recently since it clashed with my part-time job as a barista (咖啡师). Granny also lived quite far away, so usually just my parents and my brother would go. This week, however, I had the day off. So here I was, meeting relatives I hadn’t seen for long. We were a big family. I had a bunch of cousins at least ten years older than me. A few of them, including Cousin Joey, had children. Little Nova was about four to five, the first great-grandchild and the youngest in the family. The next was me, with a 15-year gap. Having my brother was a blessing. When we were little, all cousins were young adults. Being the only two kids was overwhelming. My outgoing brother shared adults’ attention for me. But for Nova, all eyes were fixed on her. “Nova, say hello to Great Granny,” Joey pulled her arm. Nova frowned, looked down and stepped back. “Don’t be rude,” Joey insisted. Nova shook her head, hiding behind Joey’s legs. Finn grabbed her arm and pulled her forward. Adults kept urging her to be polite, some harsh and some gentle. Watching this, my palms grew sweaty. Nova looked close to tears, her frown so deep as if it could pinch a fly to death. After a long struggle, Nova whispered a greeting too quiet to hear. Then she was set free to a bedroom. The adults stayed in the living room. “Nova is just like Kristi, isn’t she?” my mom said. “You two are so shy and stubborn,” Joey added, staring at me. I forced an awkward smile. Mom began talking about how difficult I was as a kid. Seeing Nova brought back my unwanted bitter memories. I truly understood how she felt deep inside. 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。 Seeing that everyone was buried in their warm chat, I quietly walked towards the bedroom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just at that moment, Joey came in, about to blame Nova for hiding again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Seeing that everyone was buried in their warm chat, I quietly walked towards the bedroom. I found Nova sitting on the floor, hugging her stuffed rabbit, eyes red with tears. I sat beside her and gave her a candy, the kind I used to hide in my pocket as a shy kid. “I used to hate these forced greetings too,” I whispered. She was slowly relaxed, letting me braid her hair with a colorful ribbon I found on the bed. Soon, she even began to tell me about her favorite cartoon character in a tiny voice. Just at that moment, Joey came in, about to blame Nova for hiding again. Before she could speak, I stood up and said softly, “She’s just shy, like I was at her age. She needs more time, not pressure.” Joey paused, then sighed and nodded in understanding. Later, the adults spoke to her gently, and by the end of the gathering, Nova even waved goodbye to everyone with a small, bright smile. That day, I realized how a little empathy could change everything for a shy child. 【解析】 【导语】本文以“我”的视角展开，讲述了在家庭聚会上，年幼的Nova因害羞不愿和长辈打招呼，被父母和大人反复催促，让“我”想起了自己小时候同样的经历，最终“我”主动走进房间，用共情的方式安慰Nova，并向她的妈妈解释孩子的心理，化解了尴尬的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写“我”进入卧室后，如何以温柔的方式接近、安慰Nova，让她放下戒备。 ② 由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写“我”如何向Joey解释Nova的害羞，以及这件事给“我”带来的感悟。 2.续写线索：悄悄走向卧室→用共情的方式安慰她→Joey进入房间准备责怪→“我”替Nova解释→Joey理解并改变态度→“我”获得感悟 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ① 拥抱：hug/clasp/hold in one’s arms ② 小声说：whisper/murmur 情绪类 ① 讨厌：hate/dislike/loathe ② 放松的：be relaxed/be calm/be at ease 【点睛】[高分句型 1] She was slowly relaxed, letting me braid her hair with a colorful ribbon I found on the bed. (运用了现在分词作状语及省略that的定语从句) [高分句型 2] That day, I realized how a little empathy could change everything for a shy child.

It’s nothing short of miraculous (奇迹般的) that these people lived to tell their stories. I’m so relieved they did and so grateful to have their experience and advice in hand should I ever have to face such horrific emergencies. JESSICA ROSS, Parker, Colorado After going through the account of the grizzly bear attack, I just had to make a comment. When you have to call out “Hey, bear” every 30 seconds because there are so many bears in the area, it could be a sign that maybe you should pick a safer place to hike. GLENDA CHIARA, Cortland, New York “Disastrous Mistakes” After working for 47 years as an RN in an acute-care hospital, I retired and with relief said, “I made it! I didn’t cause any deadly mistakes.” Only then did I realize the tension I had felt all those years, even though I loved my work. Thanks for helping to make the public aware of the situation. BONNIE BACH, Peoria, Illinois As a pharmacy technician, I work every day with the constant fear and realization that I could make an error that could kill or injure someone. The system is rife with (充满) opportunities for errors. Yet whom will the patient, my employer, the law, and even I blame? Me. GERTRUDE SVOBODA, via e-mail 1. What do Jessica Ross and Glenda Chiara have in common? A. Survivors of a bear attack. B. Authors of hiking adventures. C. Advisors on emergency safety. D. Readers of the featured article. 2. What message does Disastrous Mistakes probably convey? A. Deep anxieties over medical failures. B. Criticism of the whole medical system. C. Awareness of deadly medical error risks. D. Practical ways to avoid medical mistakes. 3. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A magazine. B. A novel. C. A research paper. D. A guidebook. B I’ve often heard parents describing exam season as going into a war, or an incredibly harsh winter, for the entire family. Not just the person taking the GCSEs or A-levels, but the whole lot of you have to start having early nights, gird your loins (准备就绪), and get used to mood swings and anxiety attacks. It’s sort of true. However, it also depends quite a lot on the personality of the exam-taker. Some of them want to be tested on the groyne (防波堤) height of a beach in Hastings and practise talking about the climate crisis in French; others want you to butt out completely, allowing them to focus on their revision undisturbed. Both approaches seem pretty reasonable to me. I’d forgotten one thing — the terrible guilt. Maybe it’s because the Easter holidays weren’t sunny last year, or maybe it’s because the youngest is my favourite (I am joking), but the guilt is just awful. It’s like having a little Cinderella in the house, except I’m not the audience — I’m the evil stepmother. Fancy going to the beach, or to a party? What about a lovely lie-in, and then some re-runs of The Office? What about a ball — you know there are some great balls on? Everyone can do exactly as they wish, except the Cinderellas upstairs, who’s trying to memorise the whole of Great Expectations, while the rest of us — even the people who did the same text last year — sit around going: “Is that the one about the orphanage and the porridge?” We can’t even do positive visualisations of the summer, when it’ll all be over, as that just reminds the poor rag-dressed creature of the time period between now and then. Really, the only way to offset (抵消) this guilt would be to memorise Great Expectations myself. But I don’t want to. The sun’s out. 4. What do parents compare exam season to? A. A joyful celebration. B. A difficult time. C. A fierce competition. D. A tough mission. 5. What does the underlined phrase “butt out” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Leave them alone. B. Put up with them. C. Give them a hand. D. Talk with them openly. 6. Why does the author feel guilty? A. She forgets something terribly important. B. She fails to provide effective motivation for the child. C. She regrets missing out on quality time with the child. D. She is troubled by the family’s ease and the child’s hard work. 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Different mindsets for A-level exam preparations. B. Approaches to dealing with exam stress effectively. C. The importance of family support during exams. D. The mixed feelings of families during exam season. C Last year, a high school student in Maryland was put in handcuffs (手铐) after his school’s AI surveillance system (监控系统) marked the chip bag in his pocket as a handgun. The incident was not an isolated mistake. Across the country, AI detection tools have been quietly marking the U.S. Declaration of Independence as “99.9% AI-generated.” Shakespeare’s plays? Clearly the output of a sophisticated language model. One professor discovered his 45-year-old academic paper was considered 77% AI-written — even though the technology did not exist when he composed it. These episodes point to a fundamental limitation in artificial intelligence that technical benchmarks (基准) fail to capture. AI does not lack processing power; it lacks the capacity to step back and recognize absurdity (the quality of being silly or unreasonable). The detection software marks Jefferson’s writing as made by AI because it is too polished, too structurally perfect. The system has been trained on a wrong idea: that human writing is, relatively speaking, logically messy and machine-produced output is naturally clean. When it encounters a human who writes with precision, the system’s logic collapses. This weakness extends beyond writing analysis. AI does not excel at grasping irony (讽刺) or context — the very ingredients of human judgment. It operates by calculating probabilities based on patterns in its training data. A bag and a handgun may share enough visual features in low resolution to cause a match. The machine does not stop to consider whether it is likely for a teenager to carry a weapon made of corn chips. It cannot, because common sense is not a statistical category. What we are witnessing is not machine intelligence in any meaningful sense. It is pattern recognition at scale, lacking the reflective distance that allows humans to question their own assumptions. An AI does not know when it is being foolish. And a system that cannot recognize its own absurdity is not a thinking being — it is a mirror reflecting our data back at us, mistakes and all. The real danger is not that machines will become too clever. It is that we will start trusting their confident mistakes. 8. Why does the author mention the Maryland high school incident? A. To criticize the excessive use of surveillance in schools. B. To illustrate AI’s inability to interpret context appropriately. C. To argue that AI surveillance systems should be banned. D. To highlight the dangers of students bringing weapons to campus. 9. Which of the following best matches how the AI tools in the passage work? A. An AI music app sorts a slow song into the “healing” list. B. A customer’s ironic review is read by AI as sincere praise. C. A neatly written essay is identified as written by a human. D. A security AI judges an umbrella as a gun because rain wets its camera. 10. What is the author’s overall attitude toward current AI systems? A. Enthusiastic optimism about their future potential. B. Neutral reporting without clear personal views. C. Skeptical concern about their fundamental limitations. D. Sharp criticism of certain weaknesses in the technology. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. The Absurd Mistakes of AI Detection. B. Why AI Cannot Replace Human Judgment. C. AI Tools with Sharp Power but Limited Sense. D. Never Fully Trust AI’s Confident Errors. D Considered nature’s engineers, beavers (河狸) build dams across streams to create ponds. They are a key species due to their significant impact on streams, the movement of water, water quality, and the other animals that live there. Beavers can change their environments mainly through dam construction. The effects of these dams can be different in geographical regions, but scientists do not have a clear understanding of how they affect water quality, habitat, and sedimentation (沉积). “Due to limited study, some research scientists must make decisions on how the conservation, expansion, and reintroduction of beavers can make a difference to their local streams based on findings from ecosystems that are more frequently studied and better understood,” said EPA researcher Ken Fritz. Ken Fritz, Johnson, Heather Golden, and Brent Johnson, in collaboration with other researchers from Miami University, Ohio, conducted a scientific literature review to better understand how beaver dams influence stream systems across different biogeographical regions. Their paper used 267 peer-reviewed studies to quantify the effects of beaver dams. The literature review found that beaver dams had profound environmental effects. The impacts on stream morphology (形态学) and water movement were similar across geographical regions. Stream health also appeared to improve with beaver conservation. Specifically, results show that while nitrate and suspended sediments decreased downstream from beaver dams, pollutants like methyl mercury, dissolved organic carbon, and ammonium concentrations increased. Total nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations tended to not be affected by beaver dams. The effects beaver dams have on pollutants vary depending on environmental conditions — like temperature, sunlight, water velocity and depth — that aid in changing and transporting certain pollutants. On a larger scale, beaver dams slow water flow and increase sedimentation, and most pollutants likely settle out of the water into sediments upstream of the beaver dam. These areas could become zones of high concentration of some harmful pollutants for exposed wildlife. These findings can be useful for stream conservation and restoration efforts that introduce or protect beavers. Additional studies are needed in dry or cold biomes historically occupied by beavers and in new environments where beaver populations are currently expanding. 12. What impact do beaver dams have on the environment? A. Water quality and living habitats. B. The climate of different regions. C. The safety of other wildlife. D. The increasing number of plant species. 13. What can we conclude about the influence of beaver dams? A. They effectively reduce all types of pollutants in streams. B. They may create hidden environmental risks for wildlife nearby. C. They mainly control pollution by changing water temperature and sunlight. D. They lead to higher concentrations of harmful pollutants downstream. 14. How did the researchers carry out their study? A. By conducting a literature review on beavers. B. By observing wild beavers in different regions. C. By summarizing plenty of previous related studies. D. By inventing a novel approach to protect stream systems. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Current research on beavers is far from complete. B. Beaver protection has greatly improved stream health. C.

It was Cousin Joey, her husband, Finn, and their little daughter, Nova. I hadn’t seen them in a while. My father’s side of the family would have family gatherings every Saturday evening in my Granny’s place, but I hadn’t been attending them recently since it clashed with my part-time job as a barista (咖啡师). Granny also lived quite far away, so usually just my parents and my brother would go. This week, however, I had the day off. So here I was, meeting relatives I hadn’t seen for long. We were a big family. I had a bunch of cousins at least ten years older than me. A few of them, including Cousin Joey, had children. Little Nova was about four to five, the first great-grandchild and the youngest in the family. The next was me, with a 15-year gap. Having my brother was a blessing. When we were little, all cousins were young adults. Being the only two kids was overwhelming. My outgoing brother shared adults’ attention for me. But for Nova, all eyes were fixed on her. “Nova, say hello to Great Granny,” Joey pulled her arm. Nova frowned, looked down and stepped back. “Don’t be rude,” Joey insisted. Nova shook her head, hiding behind Joey’s legs. Finn grabbed her arm and pulled her forward. Adults kept urging her to be polite, some harsh and some gentle. Watching this, my palms grew sweaty. Nova looked close to tears, her frown so deep as if it could pinch a fly to death. After a long struggle, Nova whispered a greeting too quiet to hear. Then she was set free to a bedroom. The adults stayed in the living room. “Nova is just like Kristi, isn’t she?” my mom said. “You two are so shy and stubborn,” Joey added, staring at me. I forced an awkward smile. Mom began talking about how difficult I was as a kid. Seeing Nova brought back my unwanted bitter memories. I truly understood how she felt deep inside. 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。 Seeing that everyone was buried in their warm chat, I quietly walked towards the bedroom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just at that moment, Joey came in, about to blame Nova for hiding again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
