A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了英国的四个各具特色的城镇。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Bournemouth, Dorset部分“Perfect for outdoorsy types, the Blue Flag beaches are a big draw, and swimming, surfing and paddleboarding are easy ways to while away a day.(对于喜欢户外活动的人来说，蓝色旗帜海滩是个绝佳的选择。在那里，游泳、冲浪和站立式划板运动都是消磨时光的好方式)”可知，伯恩茅斯的游客可以享受游泳和冲浪。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cirencester, Gloucestershire部分“Cirencester is not only surrounded by rolling countryside but is also rich in Roman history. Highlights include the Corinium Museum, which features one of the best Roman collections in the country. There’s easy access to walking trails and it’s just a 40-minute bus journey on the number 51 to the Cotswold Lakes wetland landscape, which will appeal to nature-lovers.(奇伦塞斯特不仅四周环绕着起伏的乡村风光，而且还拥有丰富的罗马历史遗迹。其亮点包括科里尼姆博物馆，该博物馆收藏了全国最精美的罗马文物之一。这里交通便利，便于前往徒步路线，乘坐51路公交车仅需40分钟即可到达科茨沃尔德湖湿地景观区，这里会吸引热爱自然的人们)”可知，Cirencester可同时满足游客领略罗马历史与湿地风光的需求。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Packed with character, culture and countryside, these English treasures are worth exploring.(这里充满着独特的魅力、丰富的文化以及美丽的乡村风光，这些英国的瑰宝值得我们去探索一番)”以及文章主要介绍了英国的四个各具特色的城镇。可知，这篇文章的目的是介绍英国的一些独特景点。 B Last July 26, around 11 p.m., Callie Clemens was close to falling asleep when an emergency message on her social media — Lost & Found Pets of Spring Branch & Spring Valley — caught her eye. A tiny black puppy (小狗) had been seen rushing across a road in Spring Branch, the Houston neighborhood where she lives, and whimpers (呜咽) from a nearby storm drain (排水沟) made it clear that the puppy was likely trapped inside, afraid and helpless. Clemens jumped out of bed at once and drove to the scene. When she arrived, she heard desperate howls and whimpers coming from deep underground through the storm drain. She took her son’s toy flashlight from her car, carefully pulled the heavy metal grate, and climbed down to search. This was not her first rescue. As a keen animal lover and mom of 7-year-old twin boys, Clemens runs both the social media and Paws Off The Streets, a non-profit program that helps animals in need. Over the past nine years, she has saved at least 100 animals in danger. Clemens didn’t find the puppy she had heard underground, but she was determined not to give up. Although going down a dark storm drain is frightening, Clemens said, “I could never accept leaving an animal there to starve and suffer.” After going home for a few hours of short sleep, she then went straight back to the drain again, with several volunteers joining her, including a local engineer who drew a detailed map of the drain system to help their search. After several hours of patient searching, they finally found the tiny black puppy. “We were very excited,” Clemens said, adding that the puppy weighed about 5 pounds and had parasites (寄生虫) and ringworm. The puppy was taken to a city animal shelter for treatment and later found a warm home. Tena Lundquist Faust of Houston PetSet was not surprised by Clemens’s determination and said, “Once she focuses on a rescue, she will never stop. She is really a hero.” 4. What drew Clemens’s attention at around 11 p.m. on July 26? A. A phone call about a lost puppy. B. A message on her social media. C. Whimpers from a nearby storm drain. D. Her son’s toy flashlight in the car. 5. What can we infer about Clemens from the text? A. She cares deeply about animals’ safety. B. She has no experience in animal rescue. C. She rescued puppies and cats, but no others. D. She gave up searching for the puppy at first. 6. What is Tena’s attitude towards Clemens? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Unconcerned. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. Clemens runs a non-profit program. B. A puppy was rescued and treated. C. Clemens is an experienced rescuer. D. Clemens worked hard to rescue a trapped puppy. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了Clemens救助被困排水沟中的小狗的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“an emergency message on her social media — Lost & Found Pets of Spring Branch & Spring Valley — caught her eye.(她社交媒体上的一条紧急消息——斯普林布兰奇和斯普林谷的失物招领宠物——引起了她的注意)”可知，是社交媒体上的一条消息吸引了她的注意。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“As a keen animal lover and mom of 7-year-old twin boys, Clemens runs both the social media and Paws Off The Streets, a non-profit program that helps animals in need. Over the past nine years, she has saved at least 100 animals in danger.((作为一名热心的动物爱好者和7岁双胞胎男孩的母亲，克莱门斯同时运营着社交媒体和“让爪子离开街道”——一个帮助有需要的动物的非营利项目。在过去九年中，她至少拯救了100只处于危险中的动物)”可知，她非常关心动物的安全。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Once she focuses on a rescue, she will never stop. She is really a hero.(一旦她专注于救援，她就永远不会停止。她真的是一位英雄。)”可知，Tena对Clemens持积极肯定的态度。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“When she arrived, she heard desperate howls and whimpers coming from deep underground through the storm drain. She took her son’s toy flashlight from her car, carefully pulled the heavy metal grate, and climbed down to search.(抵达后，她听见排水沟深处传来绝望的哀嚎与呜咽声。她从车里拿出儿子的玩具手电筒，费力掀开厚重的金属格栅，爬下去展开搜寻。)”可知，全文围绕Clemens冒险下排水沟、多次搜救最终成功救出小狗展开，重点在于她为救被困小狗所付出的努力。 C The Internet is full of such tips that say some mushrooms have magical effect on health. A kind of fungi called “adaptogenic” (helping the body deal with stress) and “nootropic” (improving cognitive function) is popular now online. A market research firm reports that mentions of mushrooms have risen on major social platforms in the past two years, and that the Internet searches for “mushroom coffee” have risen by 1,000% since 2022. Products are popping up to meet the demand. Supermarkets sell mushroom chocolates and sweets, while many brands add mushrooms to relaxing drinks or offer related drinks and fruit juices. Some companies provide multi-flavor mushroom powder, and mushroom chocolate makers suggest eating a piece before bed can be good for better sleep or more emotional health. These products are especially popular with health-conscious young people, who are eager to try food that boosts energy or immunity (免疫力). Yet these food-labelled products have little regulation on their so-called medicinal ingredients (成分), and scientists hold a practical view on their benefits. Nicholas Money, a professor at Miami University in Oxford, says there is no medicinal proof that mushroom drinks work as advertised for humans. For example, mushrooms may help nerve cell growth in lab tests and mouse healing, but this does not prove it improves human brain power. He also added that drug companies would invest heavily if there were real evidence. In short, these mushrooms are better enjoyed as food — like mushrooms in Asian soups, which tastes delicious. Remember never to pick wild mushrooms yourself, or you may mistake poisonous ones for the supposed healthy kind. 8. What can we know from the first paragraph? A. All mushrooms boost brain power. B. The Internet searches of mushrooms have risen since 2022. C. The Internet mentions of mushrooms have decreased. D. Mushrooms have no health benefits. 9. What can we infer from what Nicholas Money says? A. Current mushroom products are overpriced. B. Drug research is unreliable. C. The scientific proof about mushroom drinks is lacking. D. Mushrooms are already used in medicine. 10. What advice is given regarding wild mushrooms? A. Considering their commercial values. B. Pick them to improve sleep and mood. C. Use them as medicine or treatment. D. Avoid picking poisonous ones. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Magical Mushrooms: Food or Medicine? B. How to Use Mushrooms to Keep Healthy? C. The Popularity of Mushroom Coffee. D. Different Kinds of Eatable Mushrooms. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了蘑菇食品在网络上的流行及其功效缺乏科学依据的现状。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A market research firm reports that mentions of mushrooms have risen on major social platforms in the past two years, and that the Internet searches for “mushroom coffee” have risen by 1,000% since 2022.(一家市场调研机构称，近两年各大社交平台上有关蘑菇的相关讨论热度持续攀升，自 2022 年起，“蘑菇咖啡”的网络搜索量更是暴涨十倍。)”可知，自2022年以来，关于蘑菇的网络搜索量有所上升。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Nicholas Money, a professor at Miami University in Oxford, says there is no medicinal proof that mushroom drinks work as advertised for humans.(牛津市迈阿密大学教授尼古拉斯・莫尼表示，目前没有任何医学证据能够证实，各类蘑菇饮品能达到宣传中所说的人体养生效果。)”可知，关于蘑菇饮料的科学证据是缺乏的。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Remember never to pick wild mushrooms yourself, or you may mistake poisonous ones for the supposed healthy kind.(记住永远不要自己采摘野生蘑菇，否则你可能会把有毒的误认为是所谓的健康品种。)”可知，建议是避免误采有毒蘑菇。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕蘑菇产品在网络上的流行展开，同时指出其功效缺乏科学依据，最后建议将蘑菇当作食物享用而非药物。A选项“神奇蘑菇：食物还是药物？”最能概括全文主旨。 D Bosses are increasingly cutting jobs while boasting about their AI initiatives. Last month, a computer company announced 5,000 job cuts in three years as the firm integrates AI into all its work, and the head of a Dutch bank announced major lay-offs the same day, saying the bank is using AI to boost client services and cut costs. Up to now, there is little proof that AI is greatly changing the labour market, but this may change with its wider use. Many researchers have tried to find out which jobs are most in danger. Computer programming is the first field affected. A survey from an online forum shows about two-thirds of programmers use AI tools at least weekly. A well-known tech company’s coding tool has 26 million global users, and an AI model developer says one-third of the questions to its chatbot are about programming. Customer service is the second. A research finds 85% of customer service managers plan to try AI this year. Big companies in different industries are applying AI to their customer service work. Investment companies also support AI start-ups for this field. What connects these two jobs? Let’s start with their work nature. Both include a lot of repetitive tasks. And the tasks of programmers and customer service agents are usually “context-light” — they don’t need a deep understanding of the company to do the work. These tasks are also “easily verifiable”: Programmers can test code (代码) to make sure it works, and supervisors can check if customers’ problems are solved and how satisfied they are after communication. Another reason AI thrives in these two fields is the large amount of data for training AI models. The coding tool mentioned earlier has a huge code library to learn from, and customer service departments have years of conversation records. Besides, both fields are big targets for AI companies, which drives more investment in customized AI software. With AI costs falling and its application expanding, more white-collar roles stand to be impacted by this technological shift in the time ahead. 12. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. Two specific fields affected by AI. B. Ways to improve AI for programming. C. Reasons for AI’s popularity. D. Data about AI development in industries. 13. What is one key feature of the tasks in programming and customer service? A. Requiring deep company knowledge. B. Being hard to check the results. C. Having repeated work content. D. Needing creative thinking. 14. What does the underlined word “thrives” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Fails quickly. B. Exists long. C. Spreads slowly. D. Develops well. 15. How does the author develop the argument in the text? A. By comparing AI’s impact across different continents. B. By giving data, examples and reasons. C. By sharing personal experiences. D. By offering various views. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了AI正在威胁哪些工作岗位及其原因。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Many researchers have tried to find out which jobs are most in danger. (众多研究人员一直在探究哪些职业最容易受到冲击。)”和第三段中“Computer programming is the first field affected.(计算机编程是第一个受影响的领域。)”和“Customer service is the second.(客户服务是第二个。)”可知，第三段主要讲了两个受AI影响的具体领域。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Both include a lot of repetitive tasks.(两者都包含大量重复性任务。)”可知，编程和客服工作的一个关键特征是有重复的工作内容。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Another reason AI thrives in these two fields is the large amount of data for training AI models.(AI在这两个领域thrives另一个原因是有大量数据可用于训练AI模型。)”可知，有大量数据可用于训练AI模型，AI在这两个领域发展得好。thrives意为“发展得好”。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。第三段中“A research finds 85% of customer service managers plan to try AI this year. (一项研究发现，85%的客服行业管理者计划在今年尝试使用人工智能。)”通过列举数据来展开论证；第一段中“Last month, a computer company announced 5,000 job cuts in three years as the firm integrates AI into all its work, and the head of a Dutch bank announced major lay-offs the same day, saying the bank is using AI to boost client services and cut costs.(上个月，一家计算机公司宣布，随着人工智能全面融入各项业务，将在三年内裁员五千人；同日，一家荷兰银行高管也宣布大规模裁员，称该行正借助人工智能优化客户服务、缩减开支。)”通过举例来展开论证，如电脑公司、荷兰银行；根据第四段中“Both include a lot of repetitive tasks.(两者都包含大量重复性任务。)”和第五段中“Another reason AI thrives in these two fields is the large amount of data for training AI models.(AI在这两个领域发展得好另一个原因是有大量数据可用于训练AI模型。)”通过分析原因（重复性任务、数据充足）来展开论证。 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。 What choir Singing Can Do for You It brings major improvements in physical health.

I was running late for work, so I hurried toward the corner deli (熟食店) — the kind with steamed windows and the smell of fresh coffee that promised shelter from the winter cold. The day ahead would be long, and my stomach had been growling (咕咕叫) since I skipped breakfast at home. I ordered a bagel (百吉圈) with cream cheese. The server put it into a small paper bag and handed it across the counter. The bagel was toasty warm, and I couldn’t wait to dig in. Holding the paper bag like a treasure, I pushed open the heavy glass door and stepped back onto the sidewalk. That was when I noticed him, an older gentleman sitting at the bus stop bench. His coat was thin and worn at the elbows. He held a shopping bag to his chest for warmth and his cheeks were red from exposure. It was obvious that the man was very cold and hungry. Standing there on the frozen pavement, I hesitated. My stomach was empty, and I was already nervous about the big presentation. Then I thought about walking past him, about eating that warm food while he sat there shivering (哆嗦), but I only found that I simply could not do it. “This might be his only warm meal today,” I said to myself. The bagel suddenly felt heavy in my hand. Then I walked over to the bench and held out the bagel. The old man looked up with eyes that held surprise. He accepted the offering with a nod that conveyed more gratitude than words could manage. I turned and walked away quickly, but my face felt hot despite the cold air. I was satisfied with my good deed, but my stomach was still empty. I figured I’d just grab coffee at the office and wait until lunch. 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。 Then someone tapped my shoulder. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I took the half bagel, and such a simple gesture suddenly moved me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Then someone tapped my shoulder. I turned and saw a middle-aged woman in a red coat. She told me that she was the one who had been waiting in line behind me at the deli. She held out half of her own bagel, still warm and wrapped in a paper towel. She explained that she had seen what I did at the bus stop and was moved by my kindness. She wanted to make sure I did not go hungry because of my generosity. I took the half bagel, and such a simple gesture suddenly moved me. I thanked her repeatedly. She just patted my shoulder gently and told me that the world needed more people like me. I smiled and said she was just the one who deserved thanks. We both laughed, and then she gave a small wave and walked away. When she disappeared into the crowd, I looked down at the bagel. It was more than just food; it was proof that kindness always comes back around. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。去年十二月一个寒冷的早晨，作者因赶时间去熟食店买了一个百吉圈当早餐。出门时，作者注意到公交站坐着一位又冷又饿的老人。虽然自己也很饿，但作者还是把百吉圈送给了老人。尽管肚子空空，作者却因善举而感到满足。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首可知，第一段描写有人轻拍作者肩膀，认出对方身份，女子送出热贝果并讲明缘由。 ②由第二段句首可知，第二段描写作者收下食物内心动容，二人互相道谢说笑，女子转身离去。 2.续写线索：有人轻拍肩膀——偶遇陌生女子 —— 得知对方身份 —— 收下暖心食物 —— 彼此真诚道谢 —— 女子挥手离开 —— 感悟善意轮回 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①排队等候：wait in line/queue up ②伸出：hold out/stretch out 情绪类 ①感动：move/touch/affect ②感激某人：thank sb./show gratitude to sb. 【点睛】【高分句型1】She told me that she was the one who had been waiting in line behind me at the deli.

Tring, Hertfordshire The main attraction of the market town of Tring, which sits on the edge of the Chiltern Hills, is the Natural History Museum. Housing a remarkable collection of Lionel Walter Rothschild’s animal specimens (标本) of the Victorian era (时代), including birds, insects and fish, it’s free for visitors. Bournemouth, Dorset This large seaside town is a popular coastal destination in southern England. Perfect for outdoorsy types, the Blue Flag beaches are a big draw, and swimming, surfing and paddleboarding are easy ways to while away a day. Make time to visit the 150-acre nature reserve, Hengistbury Head. It’s home to over 500 plant species, around 300 types of birds and a diverse habitat for small mammals, insects and reptiles. Guildford, Surrey History lovers should head straight for the Guildford castle, thought to have been built after the Norman invasion of England in 1066. You can access the Castle Keep from April to October(opening times may vary slightly by year due to maintenance or events), while the beautiful gardens are open daily until sunset. Climb to the top of the Great Tower for 360-degree views of the Surrey countryside.

B Last July 26, around 11 p.m., Callie Clemens was close to falling asleep when an emergency message on her social media — Lost & Found Pets of Spring Branch & Spring Valley — caught her eye. A tiny black puppy (小狗) had been seen rushing across a road in Spring Branch, the Houston neighborhood where she lives, and whimpers (呜咽) from a nearby storm drain (排水沟) made it clear that the puppy was likely trapped inside, afraid and helpless. Clemens jumped out of bed at once and drove to the scene. When she arrived, she heard desperate howls and whimpers coming from deep underground through the storm drain. She took her son’s toy flashlight from her car, carefully pulled the heavy metal grate, and climbed down to search. This was not her first rescue. As a keen animal lover and mom of 7-year-old twin boys, Clemens runs both the social media and Paws Off The Streets, a non-profit program that helps animals in need. Over the past nine years, she has saved at least 100 animals in danger. Clemens didn’t find the puppy she had heard underground, but she was determined not to give up. Although going down a dark storm drain is frightening, Clemens said, “I could never accept leaving an animal there to starve and suffer.” After going home for a few hours of short sleep, she then went straight back to the drain again, with several volunteers joining her, including a local engineer who drew a detailed map of the drain system to help their search. After several hours of patient searching, they finally found the tiny black puppy. “We were very excited,” Clemens said, adding that the puppy weighed about 5 pounds and had parasites (寄生虫) and ringworm. The puppy was taken to a city animal shelter for treatment and later found a warm home. Tena Lundquist Faust of Houston PetSet was not surprised by Clemens’s determination and said, “Once she focuses on a rescue, she will never stop. She is really a hero.” 4. What drew Clemens’s attention at around 11 p.m. on July 26? A. A phone call about a lost puppy. B. A message on her social media. C. Whimpers from a nearby storm drain. D. Her son’s toy flashlight in the car. 5. What can we infer about Clemens from the text? A. She cares deeply about animals’ safety. B. She has no experience in animal rescue. C. She rescued puppies and cats, but no others. D. She gave up searching for the puppy at first. 6. What is Tena’s attitude towards Clemens? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Unconcerned. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. Clemens runs a non-profit program. B. A puppy was rescued and treated. C. Clemens is an experienced rescuer. D. Clemens worked hard to rescue a trapped puppy. C The Internet is full of such tips that say some mushrooms have magical effect on health. A kind of fungi called “adaptogenic” (helping the body deal with stress) and “nootropic” (improving cognitive function) is popular now online. A market research firm reports that mentions of mushrooms have risen on major social platforms in the past two years, and that the Internet searches for “mushroom coffee” have risen by 1,000% since 2022. Products are popping up to meet the demand. Supermarkets sell mushroom chocolates and sweets, while many brands add mushrooms to relaxing drinks or offer related drinks and fruit juices. Some companies provide multi-flavor mushroom powder, and mushroom chocolate makers suggest eating a piece before bed can be good for better sleep or more emotional health. These products are especially popular with health-conscious young people, who are eager to try food that boosts energy or immunity (免疫力). Yet these food-labelled products have little regulation on their so-called medicinal ingredients (成分), and scientists hold a practical view on their benefits. Nicholas Money, a professor at Miami University in Oxford, says there is no medicinal proof that mushroom drinks work as advertised for humans. For example, mushrooms may help nerve cell growth in lab tests and mouse healing, but this does not prove it improves human brain power. He also added that drug companies would invest heavily if there were real evidence. In short, these mushrooms are better enjoyed as food — like mushrooms in Asian soups, which tastes delicious. Remember never to pick wild mushrooms yourself, or you may mistake poisonous ones for the supposed healthy kind. 8. What can we know from the first paragraph? A. All mushrooms boost brain power. B. The Internet searches of mushrooms have risen since 2022. C. The Internet mentions of mushrooms have decreased. D. Mushrooms have no health benefits. 9. What can we infer from what Nicholas Money says? A. Current mushroom products are overpriced. B. Drug research is unreliable. C. The scientific proof about mushroom drinks is lacking. D. Mushrooms are already used in medicine. 10. What advice is given regarding wild mushrooms? A. Considering their commercial values. B. Pick them to improve sleep and mood. C. Use them as medicine or treatment. D. Avoid picking poisonous ones. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Magical Mushrooms: Food or Medicine? B. How to Use Mushrooms to Keep Healthy? C. The Popularity of Mushroom Coffee. D. Different Kinds of Eatable Mushrooms. D Bosses are increasingly cutting jobs while boasting about their AI initiatives. Last month, a computer company announced 5,000 job cuts in three years as the firm integrates AI into all its work, and the head of a Dutch bank announced major lay-offs the same day, saying the bank is using AI to boost client services and cut costs. Up to now, there is little proof that AI is greatly changing the labour market, but this may change with its wider use. Many researchers have tried to find out which jobs are most in danger. Computer programming is the first field affected. A survey from an online forum shows about two-thirds of programmers use AI tools at least weekly. A well-known tech company’s coding tool has 26 million global users, and an AI model developer says one-third of the questions to its chatbot are about programming. Customer service is the second. A research finds 85% of customer service managers plan to try AI this year. Big companies in different industries are applying AI to their customer service work. Investment companies also support AI start-ups for this field. What connects these two jobs? Let’s start with their work nature. Both include a lot of repetitive tasks. And the tasks of programmers and customer service agents are usually “context-light” — they don’t need a deep understanding of the company to do the work. These tasks are also “easily verifiable”: Programmers can test code (代码) to make sure it works, and supervisors can check if customers’ problems are solved and how satisfied they are after communication. Another reason AI thrives in these two fields is the large amount of data for training AI models. The coding tool mentioned earlier has a huge code library to learn from, and customer service departments have years of conversation records. Besides, both fields are big targets for AI companies, which drives more investment in customized AI software. With AI costs falling and its application expanding, more white-collar roles stand to be impacted by this technological shift in the time ahead. 12. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. Two specific fields affected by AI. B. Ways to improve AI for programming. C. Reasons for AI’s popularity. D. Data about AI development in industries. 13. What is one key feature of the tasks in programming and customer service? A. Requiring deep company knowledge. B. Being hard to check the results. C. Having repeated work content. D. Needing creative thinking. 14. What does the underlined word “thrives” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Fails quickly. B. Exists long. C. Spreads slowly. D. Develops well. 15. How does the author develop the argument in the text? A. By comparing AI’s impact across different continents. B. By giving data, examples and reasons. C. By sharing personal experiences. D. By offering various views. 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。 What choir Singing Can Do for You It brings major improvements in physical health.

I was running late for work, so I hurried toward the corner deli (熟食店) — the kind with steamed windows and the smell of fresh coffee that promised shelter from the winter cold. The day ahead would be long, and my stomach had been growling (咕咕叫) since I skipped breakfast at home. I ordered a bagel (百吉圈) with cream cheese. The server put it into a small paper bag and handed it across the counter. The bagel was toasty warm, and I couldn’t wait to dig in. Holding the paper bag like a treasure, I pushed open the heavy glass door and stepped back onto the sidewalk. That was when I noticed him, an older gentleman sitting at the bus stop bench. His coat was thin and worn at the elbows. He held a shopping bag to his chest for warmth and his cheeks were red from exposure. It was obvious that the man was very cold and hungry. Standing there on the frozen pavement, I hesitated. My stomach was empty, and I was already nervous about the big presentation. Then I thought about walking past him, about eating that warm food while he sat there shivering (哆嗦), but I only found that I simply could not do it. “This might be his only warm meal today,” I said to myself. The bagel suddenly felt heavy in my hand. Then I walked over to the bench and held out the bagel. The old man looked up with eyes that held surprise. He accepted the offering with a nod that conveyed more gratitude than words could manage. I turned and walked away quickly, but my face felt hot despite the cold air. I was satisfied with my good deed, but my stomach was still empty. I figured I’d just grab coffee at the office and wait until lunch. 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。 Then someone tapped my shoulder. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I took the half bagel, and such a simple gesture suddenly moved me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
