B The moment I stepped into the Marrakech souk (露天市场) in Morocco, I was swallowed by a world of strong smells and sounds. The air was full of the smell of spices (香料) and food. My ears were filled with a constant soundtrack of shopkeepers’ calls, customer bargaining, and the distant sound of traditional music. The streets were lined with shops that sell everything from colorful lamps to beautiful carpets. It was fascinating and overwhelming. My plan was simple: follow the main path, do some sightseeing, and return to my hotel before sunset. However, the souk is a designed maze. Drawn by a unique blue door, I turned down a narrow path, then another, and soon, I was completely lost. Every corner looked the same. The once fascinating noises now felt confusing. I tried to ask for directions, but my limited French and the locals’ rapid Arabic meant I couldn’t make myself understood. A sense of panic began to rise inside me. Just as I was considering giving up and sitting in a corner, an elderly shopkeeper who was sitting in front of his carpet store noticed my confused look. He gestured for me to come over. Instead of giving me complex directions, he offered me a cup of mint (薄荷) tea. Using simple words, hand gestures, and by drawing a rough map on a piece of paper, he patiently showed me the way. Following his guidance, I finally saw the familiar main square. This experience has taught me that getting lost isn’t always a bad thing. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and led to a genuine connection with a local. The kindness of that old man is the most valuable memory I have brought back from Morocco. Sometimes, the wrong turn can lead to the most right moment. 24. Which of the following best shows the author’s first feeling in the souk? A. Bored and disappointed. B. Fascinated yet overwhelmed. C. Frightened but curious. D. Relaxed and at home. 25. What caused the author to get lost? A. He was attracted by a blue door and left the main path. B. He was purposely misled by a local shopkeeper. C. He followed a tour group who suddenly changed routes. D. He was too busy bargaining for a carpet. 26. How did the old shopkeeper help the author? A. He drew a simple map and used gestures. B. He sold him a detailed tourist map. C. He called an English-speaking guide. D. He walked the author back to the hotel. 27. What can be learned from the author’s story? A. Always buy a souvenir to remember a trip. B. Stay on the main path to avoid any trouble. C. Getting lost may bring unexpected kindness. D. Tea culture is the highlight of Morocco. C Advocates of AI chatbots in educational settings say the tools can assist in activities like brainstorming — or help students get started on tough math problems. But many teachers say their students are short of the skills to improve upon what AI produces, or the maturity (成熟) and self-awareness to know where the work of AI ends and their own responsibility begins. A 2024 study of nearly 1,000 high school students put the matter to a test: 9th, 10th, and 11th graders attended a brief math lesson, then practised solving related problems in preparation for a quiz. Some relied on traditional methods — consulting their notes and textbooks to find possible answers — while others had access to a basic version or a tutor version (辅导版) of ChatGPT. The results were a success of technology — until they weren’t. Students using the basic and tutor GPTs scored an astonishing 48 percent and 127 percent better than their peers during the practices, respectively, but when the same students went to get back the information from their memory during a follow-up closed-book test, their math skills had disappeared. Test performance of the students who had used the basic version of ChatGPT dropped so sharply that they scored 17 percent below their peers who had relied on pen and paper. Given the opportunity, students used the software as a “crutch” and often skipped straight to the answer, the researchers concluded. When applied at key moments, the technology actually “runs the risk of blocking learning.” But ChatGPT and other similar AI tools aren’t out of the game. In several studies, the tools performed well when designed to guide student learning-by refusing to give away answers, for example, or asking in-depth follow-up questions. AI is making rapid progress, but isn’t a threat to replace teachers. For now, it’s only as smart as its human makers. 28. What is a problem of students when using AI chatbots? A. They are not aware of how AI chatbots work. B. They lack the ability to employ AI effectively. C. They are incapable of improving AI chatbots. D. They refuse to take their own responsibility. 29. How did GPT users perform compared to students using traditional methods? A. Basic GPT users performed best during the practices. B. Tutor GPT users scored 127% better during the test. C. Basic GPT users’ performance dropped during the test. D. Tutor GPT users scored 17% lower during the practices. 30. What does the underlined word “crutch” mean in paragraph 3? A. A device to help people walk. B. A strategy to deepen learning. C. A tool to improve math skills. D. A shortcut to find quick answers. 31. What are AI tools expected to do in education setting? A. Enhance students’ thinking ability. B. Follow AI designers’ instructions. C. Give in-depth answers instantly. D. Replace traditional teaching methods. D When we see a person in trouble, the first idea that comes to our mind is to lend a hand. But what if we see an animal in trouble, does the same rule apply? This question was raised after a group of penguins (企鹅) were saved from an icy gully (峡谷) in Antarctica. It was filmed for the BBC wildlife series Dynasties. The film crew were anxious when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young. They built a slope (斜坡) so that a few of the penguins could save themselves. The case has taken the international media by storm. Viewers watching this film sighed in relief. “I’m so glad. I understand not taking action directly, but a helping hand isn’t bothering, right?” viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook. However, others think human interference (干涉) is unnatural. “You can’t have sunshine throughout your life. To have done anything else would only make matters worse.” said the show’s creator David Attenborough, according to The Times. In this case, however, Mike Gunton, the executive producer of the series, said that this was a one-off situation. “There were no animals going to suffer by interfering. You weren’t touching the animals and it was just felt by doing this… They had the chance not to have to keep slipping down the slope.” he told the BBC. Such cases are familiar to Paul Nicklen, wildlife photographer for National Geographic. He told Metro, “If it’s ever a predator (捕食者) situation, no matter how gut-wrenching, you stay out of the way. Even when you’re watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear.” “There’s no rule book in those situations. You can only respond to the facts that are right there in front of you.” Will Lawson, the show’s director, told Daily Mail. 32. What has led to a heated media discussion? A. Some penguins’ sufferings in a gully. B. People’s various opinions on penguins. C. The rescue of penguins from a gully. D. Ways of filming the series Dynasties. 33. What’s David Attenborough’s attitude towards human interference? A. supportive B. unfavorable C. objective D. indifferent 34. Which of the following best explains the word “gut-wrenching” underlined in Paragraph 6? A. confusing B. dangerous C. heartbreaking D. amazing 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Help Animals in Trouble or Not B. Necessity of Lending a Hand to Animals C. Protect Animals From Dying Out D. Human Interference on Dangerous Animal 第二节 七选五阅读（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。 Having a business in retirement has numerous advantages.

Girls could do many things like hopscotch, jump rope, tetherball, and dodgeball, except high jumping. Only boys could do high jumping. That’s what I wanted to do — high jumping. So I went to the coach. “Girls don’t do high jumping,” the coach said. “Girls have all these other things they can do.” He excitedly described how much fun it would be. I’d been high jumping in the backyard with my five brothers for years. Although I am a girl, I did high jumping pretty well. My brothers could rarely beat me. Whenever my back crossed the bar, that feeling is extremely wonderful. I went home and told my mother what the coach had said. My mother, a small, thin woman only four feet eleven inches tall, said, “I think we should go visit him.” “Visit who?” I asked confusedly. “The headmaster.” “Visit the headmaster?” I was terrified. Would I get in trouble? Would my mother and I be crossing boundaries we shouldn’t cross? My mom and I went to Mr. White’s office. “Linda wants to do the high jump,” my mother said. “Mrs. Martinez, you don’t understand. This is the tradition of our Annual Sports Day,” he said. “But Mr. White, I don’t know where it says that girls cannot do this.” The headmaster couldn’t find any rules that said girls couldn’t do the high jump. “I have to think about this,” he said at last. When we got home, my mom told me something I would always remember: this wasn’t just about me. “Maybe other girls want to do this, too,” she said. My mother waited a week, but still didn’t get the headmaster’s reply. So she walked over to the school again. “Mr. White, please. I ask you this not for me and not for Linda, but let’s just see how it works.” In the end, Mr. White agreed. I stood on the field of the high jumping competition. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To my surprise, some of the cheers I got were from boys! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
