But American adventurer Garrett Fisher’s mission is different: to uncover the “souls” of disappearing glaciers — as he believes satellite images can’t replicate (复制) the beauty of glaciers. Many glaciers can’t be accessed on foot, or by drone, and helicopters are extremely expensive. Therefore, Fisher flew an old plane and hung his camera out of the window. “With an aeroplane, I can ‘stand’ in a place where a human can’t stand,” he says. “You can look down into the soul of the glacier from a close perspective.” Fisher has spent two summers photographing the glaciers of the Bernese Alps. He chooses the summer because the glaciers stand out clearly, against the surrounding snow. He has to wait for sunshine and then brave violent and unpredictable winds — as well as a lack of oxygen — to climb as high as 14, 000ft in the Bernese Alps. “It takes a long time to wait for the right kind of day. The conventional wisdom is that the wind cannot be higher than 20 knots but I’ve gone up in as much as 50. At high altitudes, the wind tends not to be turbulent (猛烈的) if you’re on the proper side of the mountain. So it’s a lot like surfing this giant wave: if you stay in the right spot, everything’s fine.” In deep valleys, he is usually out of radio contact. If his plane gets into trouble, the glaciers look like a decent emergency runway but appearances are misleading. “Those cracks are so large that if the engine quits and I go in one, the authorities probably wouldn’t ever find me again,” he says. “The risk is huge, but it’s absolutely worth it.” Fisher’s flying is showing the rapid melting of glaciers. “Everything I’m looking at will be gone in three generations.” He has now set up a non-profit group, the Global Glacier Initiative, with the aim of collecting a personal pictorial record of glaciers to record what is being lost and campaign for more decisive action to fight the climate crisis. “I’m willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet,” he says. glacier 14. Fisher photographs glaciers by aeroplane to ______. A. ensure the safety during flight B. catch the beauty of glaciers up close C. stand on some famous glaciers D. collect accurate data of glacier melting 15. What can we learn from Fisher’s photographing experience? A. He coped with high-altitude flying skillfully. B. He chose summer to avoid the unpredictable winds. C. He regarded glaciers as a practical emergency runway. D. He managed to keep contact with the outside in a crack. 16. The last paragraph emphasize Fisher’s ______. A. anxiety over the rapid melting of glaciers B. determination to record disappearing glaciers C. ambition to set a record for photographing glaciers D. frustration with current actions against climate crisis 17. Which of the following words best describe Fisher? A. Adventurous and far-sighted. B. Optimistic and soft-hearted. C. Talented and strong-willed. D. Devoted and open-minded. 【答案】14. B 15. A 16. B 17. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了美国探险家加勒特·费舍尔（Garrett Fisher）通过驾驶老式飞机，近距离拍摄正在消失的冰川，以记录它们的美丽并唤起人们对气候变化危机的关注。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But American adventurer Garrett Fisher’s mission is different: to uncover the “souls” of disappearing glaciers — as he believes satellite images can’t replicate (复制) the beauty of glaciers. (但美国探险家加勒特·费舍尔的任务不同：揭开消失冰川的“灵魂”——因为他认为卫星图像无法复制冰川的美丽。)”以及第二段中“ “With an aeroplane, I can ‘stand’ in a place where a human can’t stand,” he says. “You can look down into the soul of the glacier from a close perspective.” (“有了飞机，我就能‘站’在人类无法站立的地方，”他说。“你可以从近距离俯瞰冰川的灵魂。”)”可知，费舍尔乘坐飞机拍摄冰川是为了近距离捕捉冰川的美丽。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“He has to wait for sunshine and then brave violent and unpredictable winds — as well as a lack of oxygen — to climb as high as 14, 000ft in the Bernese Alps. “It takes a long time to wait for the right kind of day. The conventional wisdom is that the wind cannot be higher than 20 knots but I’ve gone up in as much as 50. At high altitudes, the wind tends not to be turbulent (猛烈的) if you’re on the proper side of the mountain. So it’s a lot like surfing this giant wave: if you stay in the right spot, everything’s fine.” (他必须等待阳光，然后要勇敢面对狂风和变幻莫测的气流，还要应对缺氧问题，才能在伯尔尼阿尔卑斯山脉攀登至14,000英尺的高度。“等待合适的天气需要很长时间。一般的经验是，风速不能超过20节，但我曾在风速高达50节的情况下登山。在高海拔地区，如果你处于山的合适一侧，风往往不会那么猛烈。所以这很像在驾驭巨浪：如果你待在合适的位置，一切就都没问题。”)”可知，费舍尔在拍摄过程中，需要应对高海拔、强风和缺氧等挑战，但他能够巧妙地应对这些挑战，说明他熟练地应对了高空飞行。故选A项。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fisher’s flying is showing the rapid melting of glaciers. “Everything I’m looking at will be gone in three generations.” He has now set up a non-profit group, the Global Glacier Initiative, with the aim of collecting a personal pictorial record of glaciers to record what is being lost and campaign for more decisive action to fight the climate crisis. “I’m willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet,” he says. (费舍尔的飞行展示了冰川的快速融化。“我所看到的一切在三代人之后都将消失。”他现在成立了一个非营利组织“全球冰川倡议”，旨在收集冰川的个人图片记录，以记录正在失去的东西，并发起运动，呼吁采取更果断的行动来应对气候危机。“我愿意在接下来的20年里，去追寻地球上我能找到的每一条冰川，”他说。)”可知，最后一段强调了费舍尔记录正在消失的冰川的决心。故选B项。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Many glaciers can’t be accessed on foot, or by drone, and helicopters are extremely expensive. Therefore, Fisher flew an old plane and hung his camera out of the window. (许多冰川无法步行或无人机进入，直升机也极其昂贵。因此，费舍尔驾驶一架旧飞机，把相机挂在窗外。)”以及最后一段中“I’m willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet, (我愿意在接下来的20年里，去追寻地球上能找到的每一座冰川，)”可知，费舍尔敢于冒险，驾驶老式飞机拍摄冰川，并且他愿意花费20年的时间去追寻每一座冰川，着眼于冰川保护和气候危机应对，说明他具有远见卓识。因此，A项Adventurous and far-sighted. (冒险和有远见的。)最能描述费舍尔。故选A项。 C Before he goes to bed each night, Matthew Wang logs on to DeepSeek for‌ “therapy (治疗) sessions”. Ever since January 2025, when the breakout Chinese AI app launched, the 28-year-old has brought his dilemmas and sorrows, including the recent death of his grandfather, to the chatbot. Its responses have resonated (共鸣) so deeply that they have at times brought him to tears. ‌“DeepSeek has been such an amazing counsellor (咨询师). It has helped me look at things from different perspectives and does a better job than the paid counselling services I have tried,” says Matthew. DeepSeek is a generative AI tool trained on massive amounts of information to recognise patterns. This allows it to predict things like people’s shopping habits, create new content in text and images, and also carry on conversations like a person. The chatbot has struck a chord in China partly because it offers something unique: its AI model, R1, lets users see its‌ “thought process” before delivering a response. While the success of DeepSeek has inspired national pride, it also appears to have become a source of comfort for young Chinese like Matthew. Nan Jia, a business and management professor at the University of Southern California, who coauthored a paper on AI’s potential in offering emotional support, suggests that these chatbots can‌ “help people feel heard” in ways fellow humans may not.‌ “Friends and family may be quick to offer practical solutions or advice when people just want to feel heard and understood,” Nan says. A young woman, Holly, who lives in Hubei province, had asked DeepSeek if she was oversharing her experiences and emotions with family and friends. In reasoning through her question, DeepSeek suggested that her worry of being an over-sharer might come from a deep desire for love. The chatbot gives itself a mental note: ‌“Response should offer practical advice while being empathetic (同理心的).” This could include‌ “affirming the user’s sense of self-awareness”.‌ “When I read DeepSeek’s thought process, I felt so moved,” Holly wrote on RedNote. The demand for mental health services has grown across the world but they remain inaccessible in parts of Asia, experts say. Fang Kecheng, a communications professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong says there is a ‌“significant shortage” of professional psychological counselling services in China, and those available are often‌ “prohibitively expensive” for most individuals. Prof Nan stressed, however, that people with serious mental health conditions should not rely on these apps. ‌“Those who have medical needs, in particular, should be seeking help from trained professionals… Their use of AI will have to be checked very closely,” she says. 18. The author mentions Matthew Wang’s experience to _______. A. question an opinion B. challenge a career C. illustrate a phenomenon D. make a comparison 19. What do you think is probably DeepSeek’s answer to Holly’s question? A. ‌“Before sharing, ask yourself: ‘Am I too emotional?’” B. ‌“Feeling sad when disrespected is completely understandable.” C. ‌“Your habit of sharing might be due to a sense of overconfidence.” D. ‌“It’s thoughtful of you to reflect on how your sharing impacts others.” 20. What is Prof Nan’s attitude towards AI’s emotional support? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful. 【答案】18. C 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍DeepSeek人工智能可为年轻人提供情感慰藉与心理疏导，弥补国内心理咨询短缺且昂贵的现状，同时专家提醒重症心理患者不可依赖AI。 【18题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Before he goes to bed each night, Matthew Wang logs on to DeepSeek for‌ “therapy (治疗) sessions”.(马修・王每晚睡前都会登录深度求索AI进行“心理疗愈对话”。)”以及第二段“DeepSeek has been such an amazing counsellor (咨询师). It has helped me look at things from different perspectives and does a better job than the paid counselling services I have tried,(深度求索就像一位出色的咨询师，帮我换角度看待问题，比我体验过的付费心理咨询还要好，)”可知，作者举马修的例子是为举例说明AI充当情感慰藉的社会现象。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“In reasoning through her question, DeepSeek suggested that her worry of being an over-sharer might come from a deep desire for love. The chatbot gives itself a mental note: ‌“Response should offer practical advice while being empathetic (同理心的).” This could include‌ “affirming the user’s sense of self-awareness”.‌ (在思考她的问题时，DeepSeek指出，她担心自己过度分享，或许源于内心对爱的深切渴望。这款聊天机器人给自己留下了一条心理提示：“回应既要提供实用建议，也要富有同理心。”这可以包括“肯定用户的自我觉察意识”。)”并结合选项可知，D 项“你能反思自己的倾诉是否影响他人，心思很细腻”既共情又肯定她的自省，符合AI的回复逻辑。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Nan Jia, a business and management professor at the University of Southern California, who coauthored a paper on AI’s potential in offering emotional support, suggests that these chatbots can‌ “help people feel heard” in ways fellow humans may not.‌ (南加州大学商学与管理学教授Nan Jia曾与人合著一篇关于人工智能在情感支持方面潜力的论文。她表示，这类聊天机器人能够以人类同伴未必能做到的方式，让人们感到自己被倾听。)”以及最后一段“Prof Nan stressed, however, that people with serious mental health conditions should not rely on these apps. ‌“Those who have medical needs, in particular, should be seeking help from trained professionals… Their use of AI will have to be checked very closely,” she says.(然而，Nan教授强调，有严重心理健康问题的人不应依赖这些应用程序。“尤其是那些有医疗需求的人，应当向受过专业训练的人士寻求帮助……他们使用人工智能的情况必须受到非常严格的监控。”她说。)”可知，Nan教授既认可AI情感陪伴的价值，又提醒不可过度依赖，态度客观理性。 D Beethoven’s notebooks show that he spent countless hours developing and revising the musical ideas. It was a painful and all-consuming process. Beethoven was also the most gifted improviser (即兴演奏者) of his time. He would sit at the piano and create, on demand, beautiful and imposing compositions. Beethoven illustrates two modes of creativity. Most people are familiar with the first type — the creative struggle — from personal experience. But the latter kind — the flow state — is more elusive. Researchers knew little about its inner mechanisms, and this lack of understanding hindered the development of techniques for training flow to boost one’s creative production. In a study at Drexel University’s Creativity Research Lab, we addressed this gap by posing a basic question about the nature of creative flow: Does it involve intense concentration and hyperfocused attention, or does it involve the release of attention and “letting go”? Our study examined flow in the context of jazz improvisation. We recruited 32 jazz guitarists for the study. Some were relative novices, whereas others were highly experienced. We directed them to improvise solos while listening to recorded jazz accompaniments. Notably, the most experienced musicians reported, on average, greater intensity and frequency of flow states. This finding makes sense because it is hard to imagine feeling effortless attention while performing an unfamiliar task. Also unsurprising was that, on average, the judges rated the experts’ improvisations as more creative than the novices’ improvisations. Next, to identify brain regions associated with the flow state, we compared brain activity during high-flow performances with that during low-flow performances. One striking finding was that high-flow performance were associated with reduced activity in the brain’s frontal lobes (大脑前额叶), which are associated with executive function and cognitive control. Then we compared the most experienced musicians with the least experienced ones. The most experienced participants showed activity in a network of brain areas associated with hearing and vision during a flow state — sensory regions that were not activated in the low-experience musicians. So it seems that creative flow can occur when two conditions are met. First, one has to gain expertise by practicing the task enough to develop a specialized brain network for performing that task. Second, one must release conscious control so the specialized network can take over and produce ideas on autopilot, without the performer overthinking what they are doing. The end result might not be like a Beethoven sonata (奏鸣曲). But if you can create it during a flow state, it will be your best work, and you will enjoy the process. 21. What does the word “elusive” underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Worthy of practice. B. Attractive to figure out. C. Accessible to achieve. D. Challenging to comprehend. 22. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The subjects of the study. B. A stage of the study. C. An assumption of the study. D. The objective of the study. 23. What can we learn from the study? A. Flow is a state of low cognitive control rather than hyperfocus. B. Flow state helps an inexperienced musician to concentrate easily. C. The brain’s frontal lobes are less active during low-flow performance. D. Hearing and vision networks are activated in less experienced musicians. 24. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain two modes of creativity. B. To present the findings of a study of flow state. C. To illustrate how to enter a state of effortless attention. D. To stress how important it is to create music during a flow state. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. A 24. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以贝多芬为例引出创造力的两种模式，介绍了德雷塞尔大学关于创造性心流状态的研究过程及结果。 【21题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Most people are familiar with the first type — the creative struggle — from personal experience. But the latter kind — the flow state — is more elusive.(大多数人都熟悉源于个人经验的第一种类型——创造性的斗争。但后一种状态——心流状态——更elusive)”和“Researchers knew little about its inner mechanisms, and this lack of understanding hindered the development of techniques for training flow to boost one’s creative production.(研究人员对其内在机制知之甚少，这种理解的缺乏阻碍了训练心流以提高创造力的技术的发展)”可知，与“创造性的斗争”相比，人们对“心流状态”的了解较少，不熟悉，所以它是难以理解的。由此推知，划线词elusive指“难以理解的”，与“Challenging to comprehend”意思相近。故选D项。 【22题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Our study examined flow in the context of jazz improvisation. We recruited 32 jazz guitarists for the study. Some were relative novices, whereas others were highly experienced. We directed them to improvise solos while listening to recorded jazz accompaniments.(我们的研究在爵士即兴演奏的背景下研究心流。我们为这项研究招募了32名爵士吉他手。一些人是相对新手，而另一些人则经验丰富。我们指导他们在听录制的爵士伴奏时即兴演奏独奏)”可知，该段主要描述了让32名爵士吉他手在听录制的爵士伴奏时即兴演奏独奏，这是研究的一个阶段。故选B项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Next, to identify brain regions associated with the flow state, we compared brain activity during high-flow performances with that during low-flow performances. One striking finding was that high flow performance were associated with reduced activity in the brain’s frontal lobes (大脑前额叶), which are associated with executive function and cognitive control.(接下来，为了确定与心流状态相关的大脑区域，我们比较了高流状态和低流状态下的大脑活动。一个惊人的发现是，高心流表现与大脑前额叶活动的减少有关，前额叶与执行功能和认知控制有关)”可知，高心流状态下大脑前额叶活动减少，而大脑前额叶与执行功能和认知控制有关，这表明心流状态下，大脑前额叶活动减少，大脑处于一种低认知控制状态，而非高度集中，即心流是一种低认知控制的状态，而不是高度专注的状态。故选A项。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第三段中“In a study at Drexel University’s Creativity Research Lab, we addressed this gap by posing a basic question about the nature of creative flow... (在德雷塞尔大学创造力研究实验室的一项研究中，我们通过提出一个关于创造性心流本质的基本问题来填补这一空白……)”以及最后一段“ The end result might not be like a Beethoven sonata (奏鸣曲). But if you can create it during a flow state, it will be your best work, and you will enjoy the process.(最终的结果可能并不像贝多芬的奏鸣曲。但如果你能在心流状态下创作出它，那将是你最好的作品，而且你会享受这个过程。)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项关于心流状态的研究，包括研究方法、结果和结论，因此文章的主要目的是演示如何进入一种毫不费力的专注状态。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(E=A+B F=A+C G=A+D) Your Musical Preference Gives Insights into How You Think A study out of Cambridge found that your musical preferences can give insights into how you think. The study focused on a particular theory of personality known as the Empathizing-Systemizing (E-S) Theory. ____25____ An empathizer likes to focus on and respond to the emotions of others, while a systemizer likes to analyze rules and patterns in the world. Cognitive style may seem like an unusual way to group people, but the researchers found that it worked well. “Although people’s music choices change over time, we’ve discovered a person’s empathy level and thinking style predict what kind of music they like,” said PhD student David Greenberg, the leader of the study, in a statement. ____26____ To study a somewhat unusual subject, they took a somewhat unique route: They gathered data through Facebook. Over 4,000 people participated through the myPersonality app by first taking a personality assessment. Later, they listened to and rated 50 musical pieces. For those who scored high on empathy, they tended to prefer soft rock, R&B country, and folk. ____27____ Further, they tended to enjoy music that had low energy, negative emotions, or emotional depth. From these characteristics, the researchers identified several songs that would be ideal for empathizers: “Hallelujah” by Jeff Buckley, “Come away with me” by Norah Jones, and “All of me” by Billie Holiday. ____28____ They favored intense music and disliked the soft and simple styles. Their music tended towards high energy, or positive emotions, and also featured a high degree of depth and complexity. From this, the researchers believed that “Concerto in C” by Antonio Vivaldi, “Etude Opus 65 No. 3” by Alexander Scriabin, and “Enter Sandman” by Metallica would be ideal songs for systemizers. ____29____ “A lot of money is put into algorithms (运算法则) to choose what music you may want to listen to, for example, on Spotify and Apple Music,” said Greenberg. “By knowing an individual’s thinking style, such services might in future be able to fine tune their music recommendations to an individual.” A. But they disliked more intense music like punk and heavy metal. B. These findings could prove useful, especially for the music industry. C. Meanwhile, those who scored high on systemizing were exactly opposite. D. Based on the findings, researchers recommend particular styles for different people. E. It divides people into groups according to whether they tend to empathize or systemize. F. He argued that musical preferences reflect clear characteristics such as age and personality. G. He argued people’s cognitive style can be a better predictor of what music they like than their personality. 【答案】25. E 26. G 27. A 28. C 29. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了剑桥大学的一项研究表明，人的音乐偏好能反映其思维模式，共情型偏爱柔和音乐，系统型偏爱复杂激烈的音乐，该发现可帮助音乐流媒体平台优化个性化推荐算法。 【25题详解】 前文“The study focused on a particular theory of personality known as the Empathizing-Systemizing (E-S) Theory. (这项研究的重点是一种特殊的人格理论，即共情-系统化(E-S)理论)”提到研究涉及的E-S理论，后文“An empathizer likes to focus on and respond to the emotions of others, while a systemizer likes to analyze rules and patterns in the world. (共情型人格倾向于关注和回应他人的情绪，而系统型人格则喜欢分析世界中的规则和模式)”详细说明两类人格对应的思维风格，此处需解释E-S理论中的分类方式，因此E项“It divides people into groups according to whether they tend to empathize or systemize. (它根据人们倾向于共情或系统化思维将人分组)”符合语境，承前启后，其中的It指代前文的the Empathizing-Systemizing Theory。故选E。 【26题详解】 前文““Although people’s music choices change over time, we’ve discovered a person’s empathy level and thinking style predict what kind of music they like,” said PhD student David Greenberg, the leader of the study, in a statement. (“尽管人们的音乐选择会随时间变化，但我们已经发现一个人的共情能力和思维方式可以预测他们喜欢的音乐类型，”该研究负责人、博士生David Greenberg在一份声明中表示)”提到David Greenberg的研究发现，说明E-S理论可用于预测音乐类型的偏好，此处需补充Greenberg的观点，因此G项“He argued people’s cognitive style can be a better predictor of what music they like than their personality. (他认为人们的认知风格比性格更能预测其音乐偏好)”符合语境，承接前文，其中的He指代前文的David Greenberg。故选G。 【27题详解】 前文“For those who scored high on empathy, they tended to prefer soft rock, R&B country, and folk. (研究发现，共情能力得分较高的人通常更喜欢轻柔摇滚、节奏蓝调乡村音乐和民谣)”指出高共情者偏好柔和风格，此处可能会补充其不喜欢的音乐类型，因此A项“But they disliked more intense music like punk and heavy metal. (但他们不喜欢朋克、重金属等激烈音乐)”符合语境，和前文构成转折。故选A。 【28题详解】 上一段描述高共情者的音乐偏好，后文“They favored intense music and disliked the soft and simple styles. Their music tended towards high energy, or positive emotions, and also featured a high degree of depth and complexity. (他们青睐强烈激昂的音乐，对柔和简约的曲风则兴趣索然。他们的音乐倾向于高能量，或积极的情绪，也具有高度的深度和复杂性)”详细描述系统型人格者的音乐偏好，此处需指出这类人群总的特点，因此C项“Meanwhile, those who scored high on systemizing were exactly opposite. (而系统化思维高分者的偏好完全相反)”符合语境，和上一段构成转折，统领后文内容。故选C。 【29题详解】 后文““A lot of money is put into algorithms (运算法则) to choose what music you may want to listen to, for example, on Spotify and Apple Music,” said Greenberg. “By knowing an individual’s thinking style, such services might in future be able to fine tune their music recommendations to an individual.” (Greenberg说：“很多钱被投入到算法中，用来选择你可能想听的音乐，比如在Spotify和Apple Music上。通过了解个人的思维方式，这些服务将来可能能够针对个人调整音乐推荐。”)”主要指出研究思维方式可以用于平台的音乐推荐优化，此处应总的说明研究价值，因此B项“These findings could prove useful, especially for the music industry. (这些发现可能对音乐产业特别有用)”符合语境，契合后文内容，其中的these findings指代前文的研究结论。故选B。 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节(共4小题;第30、31题各2分，第32题3分，第33题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Yuan Xin, who is now pursuing his doctoral degree, learned from a young age the only way for him to succeed was with his brain rather than brawn (体力). At the age of three, a terrible accident cost Yuan his right arm. His parents didn’t send him to kindergarten but kept him home. The idea was to ease him into learning with family care and better prepare him for further education. They believed that knowledge can change one’s life. When he entered primary school, he started receiving unwanted attention and some kids gave him nicknames. “I had doubts about myself then, but my parents told me to dismiss unfriendly noises and focus on learning,” he says. He buried his head in his books and, as a result, his academic performance stood out. It gradually brought him admiration and respect from people around him. His academic strength saw him admitted to computer science of Wuhan University of Science and Technology. “I figured it was less demanding on the ‘hand’ and more about brainwork,” he says. However, he had his work cut out for him from the start. Before college, he hadn’t even touched a computer. He couldn’t make any sense of the first class, and had no clue about the keyboard. To catch up with the class, for the first term, Yuan spent his spare time studying and practicing in the computer room of the school library. Yuan took every learning opportunity seriously and always followed up with his own actions. When he saw keyboards gathering dust and failing to work properly afterwards, he thought of setting up a protection cover over the keypads. He then spent half a year looking into the subject, consulting his professor and experimenting. Later he developed an idea and got a patent for it. With his remaining hand, Yuan has come up with original designs and patents that have earned him more than 60 prizes and awards. “Although there might be many hard situations to face, I will make progress as long as I work for it,” he says. 30. Why did Yuan’s parents keep him home rather than send him to kindergarten? ____________________________________________________________ 31. How did Yuan respond to his classmates’ unfriendliness? ____________________________________________________________ 32. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Yuan spent his spare time in his first term working hard in the computer room because he wanted to develop his ideas and get patents. ____________________________________________________________ 33. Among Yuan’s qualities, which one(s) do you think will be important for us? Why? (In about 40 words) ____________________________________________________________ 【答案】30. Because they wanted to ease him into learning with family care and better prepare him for further education. 31. He had doubts about himself at first, but then buried his head in his books. 32. Yuan spent his spare time in his first term working hard in the computer room because he wanted to develop his ideas and get patents. Yuan spent his spare time in his first term working hard in the computer room because he wanted to catch up with the class. 33. Optimism must be ranked number one among Yuan’s qualities. Because it can bring us mental power. If we aren’t optimistic, we couldn’t move on in our life confronting failures, miseries or sufferings. It is optimism that enables us to regain confidence, courage and hope.

The idea was to ease him into learning with family care and better prepare him for further education.(他的父母没有送他上幼儿园，而是让他呆在家里。这样做的目的是让他在家人的照顾下轻松地学习，更好地为进一步的教育做准备。)”可知，袁鑫的父母把他留在家里而不是送他去幼儿园，因为他们想让他在家人的照顾下轻松地学习，更好地为进一步的教育做准备。故答案是Because they wanted to ease him into learning with family care and better prepare him for further education. 【31题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段““I had doubts about myself then, but my parents told me to dismiss unfriendly noises and focus on learning,” he says. He buried his head in his books and, as a result, his academic performance stood out.(“当时我对自己也有过怀疑，但父母告诉我，不要理会不友好的噪音，专心学习。”他埋头读书，结果他的学习成绩很突出。)”可知，面对同学们的不友好，他起初怀疑自己，但后来埋头读书了。故答案是He had doubts about himself at first, but then buried his head in his books. 【32题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第四段“To catch up with the class, for the first term, Yuan spent his spare time studying and practicing in the computer room of the school library.(为了跟上进度，第一学期，袁鑫利用业余时间在学校图书馆的电脑室里学习和练习。)”可知，袁鑫在第一学期的业余时间都在电脑室努力学习和练习，因为他想赶上课程进度。故答案是Yuan spent his spare time in his first term working hard in the computer room because he wanted to develop his ideas and get patents. Yuan spent his spare time in his first term working hard in the computer room because he wanted to catch up with the class. 【33题详解】 考查开放性试题。本题为开放性试题，言之有理即可。故答案是Optimism must be ranked number one among Yuan’s qualities. Because it can bring us mental power. If we aren’t optimistic, we couldn’t move on in our life confronting failures, miseries or sufferings. It is optimism that enables us to regain confidence, courage and hope.

Eco-Schools offers schools a meaningful way to engage with environmental issues, creating positive change in both their communities and within the school itself. Over the years, it has left a lasting impact on students, their families, teachers, and local authorities alike. For the past 30 years of the YRE programmes, international competition and global network have been equipping and guiding future leaders to investigate environmental issues and drive positive, solution-focused change. Celebrations are already underway in many countries. Have a look at some of the ways our schools and national operators are marking the anniversary Uzbekistan The‌ “From Field to Table” eco-festival took place in Nukus, Uzbekistan, in honor of World Food Day. A highlight of the event was the raising of the Eco-Schools Green Flag, celebrating eight new Eco-Schools in Uzbekistan for their efforts for sustainability (可持续性). The festival featured eco-activities such as greenhouse farming, recycling workshops, debates, and a theater performance, all designed to inspire youth engagement in environmental protection and sustainable food practices. Romania The XVIII Edition of the Eco-Schools and YRE National Seminary took place in Bucharest. During the event, over 130 Eco-Schools received Green Flags and other awards for their impactful work in the Eco-Schools Programme. It also welcomed new teachers eager to engage in Eco-Schools’ ongoing sustainability efforts for this school year and beyond, marking another meaningful step forward in environmental education. Denmark The Danish Outdoor Council recently invited the FEE Head Office to join the green flag-raising ceremony at Kobberbakkeskolen, afdeling Ronnebæk. The event celebrated the school’s remarkable achievement as the only one in Denmark to be part of the prestigious 30-year club of Eco-Schools. Kobberbakkeskolen joined the Eco-Schools programme in 1994 and raised its first green flag in 1995. Celebrate with us Send your anniversary photos and videos to info@fee. global.

But American adventurer Garrett Fisher’s mission is different: to uncover the “souls” of disappearing glaciers — as he believes satellite images can’t replicate (复制) the beauty of glaciers. Many glaciers can’t be accessed on foot, or by drone, and helicopters are extremely expensive. Therefore, Fisher flew an old plane and hung his camera out of the window. “With an aeroplane, I can ‘stand’ in a place where a human can’t stand,” he says. “You can look down into the soul of the glacier from a close perspective.” Fisher has spent two summers photographing the glaciers of the Bernese Alps. He chooses the summer because the glaciers stand out clearly, against the surrounding snow. He has to wait for sunshine and then brave violent and unpredictable winds — as well as a lack of oxygen — to climb as high as 14, 000ft in the Bernese Alps. “It takes a long time to wait for the right kind of day. The conventional wisdom is that the wind cannot be higher than 20 knots but I’ve gone up in as much as 50. At high altitudes, the wind tends not to be turbulent (猛烈的) if you’re on the proper side of the mountain. So it’s a lot like surfing this giant wave: if you stay in the right spot, everything’s fine.” In deep valleys, he is usually out of radio contact. If his plane gets into trouble, the glaciers look like a decent emergency runway but appearances are misleading. “Those cracks are so large that if the engine quits and I go in one, the authorities probably wouldn’t ever find me again,” he says. “The risk is huge, but it’s absolutely worth it.” Fisher’s flying is showing the rapid melting of glaciers. “Everything I’m looking at will be gone in three generations.” He has now set up a non-profit group, the Global Glacier Initiative, with the aim of collecting a personal pictorial record of glaciers to record what is being lost and campaign for more decisive action to fight the climate crisis. “I’m willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet,” he says. glacier 14. Fisher photographs glaciers by aeroplane to ______. A. ensure the safety during flight B. catch the beauty of glaciers up close C. stand on some famous glaciers D. collect accurate data of glacier melting 15. What can we learn from Fisher’s photographing experience? A. He coped with high-altitude flying skillfully. B. He chose summer to avoid the unpredictable winds. C. He regarded glaciers as a practical emergency runway. D. He managed to keep contact with the outside in a crack. 16. The last paragraph emphasize Fisher’s ______. A. anxiety over the rapid melting of glaciers B. determination to record disappearing glaciers C. ambition to set a record for photographing glaciers D. frustration with current actions against climate crisis 17. Which of the following words best describe Fisher? A. Adventurous and far-sighted. B. Optimistic and soft-hearted. C. Talented and strong-willed. D. Devoted and open-minded. C Before he goes to bed each night, Matthew Wang logs on to DeepSeek for‌ “therapy (治疗) sessions”. Ever since January 2025, when the breakout Chinese AI app launched, the 28-year-old has brought his dilemmas and sorrows, including the recent death of his grandfather, to the chatbot. Its responses have resonated (共鸣) so deeply that they have at times brought him to tears. ‌“DeepSeek has been such an amazing counsellor (咨询师). It has helped me look at things from different perspectives and does a better job than the paid counselling services I have tried,” says Matthew. DeepSeek is a generative AI tool trained on massive amounts of information to recognise patterns. This allows it to predict things like people’s shopping habits, create new content in text and images, and also carry on conversations like a person. The chatbot has struck a chord in China partly because it offers something unique: its AI model, R1, lets users see its‌ “thought process” before delivering a response. While the success of DeepSeek has inspired national pride, it also appears to have become a source of comfort for young Chinese like Matthew. Nan Jia, a business and management professor at the University of Southern California, who coauthored a paper on AI’s potential in offering emotional support, suggests that these chatbots can‌ “help people feel heard” in ways fellow humans may not.‌ “Friends and family may be quick to offer practical solutions or advice when people just want to feel heard and understood,” Nan says. A young woman, Holly, who lives in Hubei province, had asked DeepSeek if she was oversharing her experiences and emotions with family and friends. In reasoning through her question, DeepSeek suggested that her worry of being an over-sharer might come from a deep desire for love. The chatbot gives itself a mental note: ‌“Response should offer practical advice while being empathetic (同理心的).” This could include‌ “affirming the user’s sense of self-awareness”.‌ “When I read DeepSeek’s thought process, I felt so moved,” Holly wrote on RedNote. The demand for mental health services has grown across the world but they remain inaccessible in parts of Asia, experts say. Fang Kecheng, a communications professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong says there is a ‌“significant shortage” of professional psychological counselling services in China, and those available are often‌ “prohibitively expensive” for most individuals. Prof Nan stressed, however, that people with serious mental health conditions should not rely on these apps. ‌“Those who have medical needs, in particular, should be seeking help from trained professionals… Their use of AI will have to be checked very closely,” she says. 18. The author mentions Matthew Wang’s experience to _______. A. question an opinion B. challenge a career C. illustrate a phenomenon D. make a comparison 19. What do you think is probably DeepSeek’s answer to Holly’s question? A. ‌“Before sharing, ask yourself: ‘Am I too emotional?’” B. ‌“Feeling sad when disrespected is completely understandable.” C. ‌“Your habit of sharing might be due to a sense of overconfidence.” D. ‌“It’s thoughtful of you to reflect on how your sharing impacts others.” 20. What is Prof Nan’s attitude towards AI’s emotional support? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful. D Beethoven’s notebooks show that he spent countless hours developing and revising the musical ideas. It was a painful and all-consuming process. Beethoven was also the most gifted improviser (即兴演奏者) of his time. He would sit at the piano and create, on demand, beautiful and imposing compositions. Beethoven illustrates two modes of creativity. Most people are familiar with the first type — the creative struggle — from personal experience. But the latter kind — the flow state — is more elusive. Researchers knew little about its inner mechanisms, and this lack of understanding hindered the development of techniques for training flow to boost one’s creative production. In a study at Drexel University’s Creativity Research Lab, we addressed this gap by posing a basic question about the nature of creative flow: Does it involve intense concentration and hyperfocused attention, or does it involve the release of attention and “letting go”? Our study examined flow in the context of jazz improvisation. We recruited 32 jazz guitarists for the study. Some were relative novices, whereas others were highly experienced. We directed them to improvise solos while listening to recorded jazz accompaniments. Notably, the most experienced musicians reported, on average, greater intensity and frequency of flow states. This finding makes sense because it is hard to imagine feeling effortless attention while performing an unfamiliar task. Also unsurprising was that, on average, the judges rated the experts’ improvisations as more creative than the novices’ improvisations. Next, to identify brain regions associated with the flow state, we compared brain activity during high-flow performances with that during low-flow performances. One striking finding was that high-flow performance were associated with reduced activity in the brain’s frontal lobes (大脑前额叶), which are associated with executive function and cognitive control. Then we compared the most experienced musicians with the least experienced ones. The most experienced participants showed activity in a network of brain areas associated with hearing and vision during a flow state — sensory regions that were not activated in the low-experience musicians. So it seems that creative flow can occur when two conditions are met. First, one has to gain expertise by practicing the task enough to develop a specialized brain network for performing that task. Second, one must release conscious control so the specialized network can take over and produce ideas on autopilot, without the performer overthinking what they are doing. The end result might not be like a Beethoven sonata (奏鸣曲). But if you can create it during a flow state, it will be your best work, and you will enjoy the process. 21. What does the word “elusive” underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Worthy of practice. B. Attractive to figure out. C. Accessible to achieve. D. Challenging to comprehend. 22. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The subjects of the study. B. A stage of the study. C. An assumption of the study. D. The objective of the study. 23. What can we learn from the study? A. Flow is a state of low cognitive control rather than hyperfocus. B. Flow state helps an inexperienced musician to concentrate easily. C. The brain’s frontal lobes are less active during low-flow performance. D. Hearing and vision networks are activated in less experienced musicians. 24. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain two modes of creativity. B. To present the findings of a study of flow state. C. To illustrate how to enter a state of effortless attention. D. To stress how important it is to create music during a flow state. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(E=A+B F=A+C G=A+D) Your Musical Preference Gives Insights into How You Think A study out of Cambridge found that your musical preferences can give insights into how you think. The study focused on a particular theory of personality known as the Empathizing-Systemizing (E-S) Theory. ____25____ An empathizer likes to focus on and respond to the emotions of others, while a systemizer likes to analyze rules and patterns in the world. Cognitive style may seem like an unusual way to group people, but the researchers found that it worked well. “Although people’s music choices change over time, we’ve discovered a person’s empathy level and thinking style predict what kind of music they like,” said PhD student David Greenberg, the leader of the study, in a statement. ____26____ To study a somewhat unusual subject, they took a somewhat unique route: They gathered data through Facebook. Over 4,000 people participated through the myPersonality app by first taking a personality assessment. Later, they listened to and rated 50 musical pieces. For those who scored high on empathy, they tended to prefer soft rock, R&B country, and folk. ____27____ Further, they tended to enjoy music that had low energy, negative emotions, or emotional depth. From these characteristics, the researchers identified several songs that would be ideal for empathizers: “Hallelujah” by Jeff Buckley, “Come away with me” by Norah Jones, and “All of me” by Billie Holiday. ____28____ They favored intense music and disliked the soft and simple styles. Their music tended towards high energy, or positive emotions, and also featured a high degree of depth and complexity. From this, the researchers believed that “Concerto in C” by Antonio Vivaldi, “Etude Opus 65 No. 3” by Alexander Scriabin, and “Enter Sandman” by Metallica would be ideal songs for systemizers. ____29____ “A lot of money is put into algorithms (运算法则) to choose what music you may want to listen to, for example, on Spotify and Apple Music,” said Greenberg. “By knowing an individual’s thinking style, such services might in future be able to fine tune their music recommendations to an individual.” A. But they disliked more intense music like punk and heavy metal. B. These findings could prove useful, especially for the music industry. C. Meanwhile, those who scored high on systemizing were exactly opposite. D. Based on the findings, researchers recommend particular styles for different people. E. It divides people into groups according to whether they tend to empathize or systemize. F. He argued that musical preferences reflect clear characteristics such as age and personality. G. He argued people’s cognitive style can be a better predictor of what music they like than their personality. 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节(共4小题;第30、31题各2分，第32题3分，第33题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Yuan Xin, who is now pursuing his doctoral degree, learned from a young age the only way for him to succeed was with his brain rather than brawn (体力). At the age of three, a terrible accident cost Yuan his right arm. His parents didn’t send him to kindergarten but kept him home. The idea was to ease him into learning with family care and better prepare him for further education. They believed that knowledge can change one’s life. When he entered primary school, he started receiving unwanted attention and some kids gave him nicknames. “I had doubts about myself then, but my parents told me to dismiss unfriendly noises and focus on learning,” he says. He buried his head in his books and, as a result, his academic performance stood out. It gradually brought him admiration and respect from people around him. His academic strength saw him admitted to computer science of Wuhan University of Science and Technology. “I figured it was less demanding on the ‘hand’ and more about brainwork,” he says. However, he had his work cut out for him from the start. Before college, he hadn’t even touched a computer. He couldn’t make any sense of the first class, and had no clue about the keyboard. To catch up with the class, for the first term, Yuan spent his spare time studying and practicing in the computer room of the school library. Yuan took every learning opportunity seriously and always followed up with his own actions. When he saw keyboards gathering dust and failing to work properly afterwards, he thought of setting up a protection cover over the keypads. He then spent half a year looking into the subject, consulting his professor and experimenting. Later he developed an idea and got a patent for it. With his remaining hand, Yuan has come up with original designs and patents that have earned him more than 60 prizes and awards. “Although there might be many hard situations to face, I will make progress as long as I work for it,” he says. 30.
