Students record short entries after each partner meeting noting the language skills practised and the topics discussed. Each pair of students meets three times throughout the term with a teacher who decides if the exchange is effective. Students who successfully complete the programme will receive one credit each. Requirements for completion: •One welcoming session on the second Friday of the term •18 weekly one-hour pair meetings •Weekly progress reports for all pair meetings •At least three pair-teacher meetings •One five-minute final video Sign up! The sign-up and registration process is as follows: •Students sign up and indicate the languages they can share and languages they are interested in learning. •Based on the information entered by each student, potential pairs are identified. •Proficiency (熟练) levels are confirmed through coursework or placement tests. •Once a pair has been determined to be suitable, the students will be contacted individually with a special permission number to register for the programme. Reminders: Signing up for the programme does not automatically mean that you will be able to register and participate. Pairs are matched by languages of interest and proficiency levels. Since there are many factors involved in the pairing process, not all students who sign up will be matched with a partner and be able to register for the programme. 1.

Students record short entries after each partner meeting noting the language skills practised and the topics discussed.(语言交流项目让学生们两人一组，每周用他们希望分享和学习的两种不同的语言进行交流。学生们在每次搭档会议后记录简短的条目，指出所练习的语言技能和讨论的主题)”可知，在这个项目中，学生们将练习他们的语言技能。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Requirements for completion部分第二点“18 weekly one-hour pair meetings(每周18次一小时的配对会议)”可知，为了完成该项目，学生们被要求参加配对会议。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sign up部分第一点“Students sign up and indicate the languages they can share and languages they are interested in learning.(学生们报名参加并表明他们可以分享的语言以及他们有兴趣学习的语言)”可知，学生们在注册期间需要表明他们感兴趣的语言。故选A。 B When Martin Roth started as a forest ranger in the 1980s, his job was to care for the forest to ensure continuity for decades, even centuries. Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest serve as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the nickname “digital forest ranger.” After a severe storm, the clock starts ticking: Damaged trees should be removed before the arrival of bark beetles, which grow in dead trees and can destroy entire forests. While it once took Roth about 2.5 hours to cover an acre on foot, drones (无人机) now let him survey the entire 3,000 acres in several days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, inform owners of affected plots, and send updates to workers. Roth’s exploration goes beyond drones. His recent project is combining body camera with AI. “Usually you mark the trees, they’re cut down, and you have no idea how much wood you’ll get, what quality, and which species,” he explains. AI now “sees” through his body cam, recognizes tree species, estimates wood production, and sends real-time information to his phone. Since up to half of European tree species are unsuited to rising temperatures and extended dry periods, Roth has also begun experimenting with new species, planting them in small groups and keeping track of them in his system. As forest areas expand, interventions are needed, but there aren’t enough employees to keep it all straight. “Either I know it, or the computer knows it, or no one knows it and it’s lost,” he says. Roth’s expertise in tackling the challenges of modern forestry with technology is increasingly sought after—colleagues reach out for advice, and he lectures on the topic at universities. But he warns that technology can never replace a wander through the forest: “I should never believe that the digital twin is reality. I always have to do a reality check.” 4. What was Roth’s job when he started his career? A. Sustaining forest health. B. Predicting the forest’s future. C. Managing disasters. D. Seeking high-tech solutions. 5. What does Roth use drones to do? A. Identify dead tree species. B. Remove harmful insects. C. Collect data of forest damage. D. Inform owners of their loss. 6. What point is Roth trying to make with his words in paragraph 4? A. Forests are a cure for climate change. B. Experienced workers are in great need. C. Forest expansion is successfully controlled. D. Technology is key to tracking forest information. 7. Why does Roth warn about the use of technology in forestry? A. It may replace human workers. B. It may need too much checking. C. It may provide false information. D. It may deny chances of forest walks. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是护林员Martin Roth如何利用高科技手段应对现代林业面临的挑战。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When Martin Roth started as a forest ranger in the 1980s, his job was to care for the forest to ensure continuity for decades, even centuries.(当Martin Roth在20世纪80年代开始担任护林员时，他的工作是照顾森林，以确保几十年甚至几个世纪的连续性)”可知，Roth开始他的职业生涯时是保持森林健康的。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“While it once took Roth about 2.5 hours to cover an acre on foot, drones (无人机) now let him survey the entire 3,000 acres in several days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, inform owners of affected plots, and send updates to workers.(过去，Roth徒步检查一英亩土地需要大约2.5小时，而现在，无人机让他能在几天内巡视完整个3000英亩的区域，这样他就能迅速定位受损树木，通知受影响地块的所有者，并向工作人员发送最新信息)”可知，Roth用无人机收集森林破坏数据。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Since up to half of European tree species are unsuited to rising temperatures and extended dry periods, Roth has also begun experimenting with new species, planting them in small groups and keeping track of them in his system. As forest areas expand, interventions are needed, but there aren’t enough employees to keep it all straight. “Either I know it, or the computer knows it, or no one knows it and it’s lost,” he says.(由于多达一半的欧洲树种不适应不断上升的温度和延长的干旱期，罗斯也开始试验新的树种，将它们分成小群种植，并在他的系统中对它们进行跟踪。随着森林面积的扩大，需要进行干预，但没有足够的员工来保持一切正常。他说：“要么我知道，要么电脑知道，要么没人知道，就丢了。”)”可知，计算机（技术）是记录和管理森林信息的重要工具。由此推知，Roth在第四段想表达的是技术在跟踪和管理森林信息方面发挥了至关重要的作用。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But he warns that technology can never replace a wander through the forest: “I should never believe that the digital twin is reality. I always have to do a reality check.”(但他警告说，科技永远无法取代在森林中漫步：“我永远不应该相信数字孪生是现实。我总是要做现实检查。”)”可知，Roth对林业技术的使用提出警告是因为它可能提供错误信息。故选C。 C When adult humans meet a baby, many can’t help speaking in a higher-pitched (更高音的), sing-song y voice. This shift, known as parentese, is not unique to humans — it has also been observed in animals like monkeys and gorillas. Now, scientists are adding one more species to that list: bottlenose dolphins. Dolphins are intelligent animals that live and hunt in groups. They communicate in a unique way: every individual produces its own signature sound that acts much like an ID card, usually by its first birthday. But how does each come up with its distinctive whistle? For babies, it might have something to do with listening to Mum. To solve this mystery, researchers examined the sounds mother dolphins, make. Scientists studied 34 years’ worth of recordings of sounds made by 19 female bottlenose dolphins. When the mother dolphins were near their young, they continued to make their signature sound, but at a higher frequency. They also used a wider range of frequencies than they did when their babies were not nearby. This discovery suggests that using these modifications mother dolphins assist their young in learning how to produce these calls themselves. Since dolphin babies often spend some years with their mothers before living on their own, it makes sense that this adaptation would help them learn to communicate. At the very least, the higher-pitched whistle likely gets the babies’ attention. “It’s important for a baby to know,’ Oh, Mum’s talking to me now,’” says marine biologist June Mann. This kind of research could help us understand how language developed in humans. “It is absolutely essential to have basic knowledge about other species and how they communicate,” says Mann. “I would be really interested to see whether dolphins also change their sounds when interacting with babies of others, which is what happens in humans.” 8. What do the underlined words “this mystery ”refer to in paragraph 2? A. Why dolphins live and play in groups. B. How dolphins develop their unique sounds. C. What aspects of intelligence dolphins possess. D. Whether dolphins can use parentese like humans. 9. How did the researchers carry out their study of dolphins? A. By analyzing mother dolphins’ sound features. B. By recording parent-child interaction frequency. C. By measuring the distance between parent and child. D. By examining the speech organs of mother dolphins. 10. What is a suggested reason why dolphin mothers use parentese with their young? A. To help them learn to talk. B. To teach them hunting skills. C. To express worry and care. D. To distract their attention. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To compare the parentese of humans and dolphins. B. To illustrate the development of dolphin intelligence. C. To share new findings about dolphin communication. D. To highlight the value of studying dolphins’ language. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了海豚妈妈通过教授幼崽使用独特的声音来教会幼崽说话。文章解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的意义。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“But how does each come up with its distinctive whistle? For babies, it might have something to do with listening to Mum. To solve”以及后文“researchers examined the sounds mother dolphins, make.”可知，海豚发出独特的声音与听到海豚妈妈的声音有关，所以为了解“海豚如何发出独特的声音”这个谜团，研究人员检查了海豚妈妈发出的声音。故划线词指的是“海豚如何发出独特的声音”。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Scientists studied 34 years’ worth of recordings of sounds made by 19 female bottlenose dolphins.(科学家们研究了19只雌性宽吻海豚34年来的声音记录)”可知，研究人员通过分析母海豚的声音特征对海豚进行研究。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This discovery suggests that using these modifications mother dolphins assist their young in learning how to produce these calls themselves.(这一发现表明，利用这些变化，海豚妈妈帮助它们的孩子学习如何自己发出这些叫声)”可知，海豚妈妈对幼崽使用父母语的原因是帮助他们学会说话。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When adult humans meet a baby, many can’t help speaking in a higher-pitched (更高音的), sing-song y voice. This shift, known as parentese, is not unique to humans — it has also been observed in animals like monkeys and gorillas. Now, scientists are adding one more species to that list: bottlenose dolphins.(当成年人遇到婴儿时，许多人会情不自禁地用一种高亢的歌声说话。这种被称为“父母性”的转变并不是人类独有的，猴子和大猩猩等动物也有这种现象。现在，科学家们又增加了一个物种：宽吻海豚)”结合文章主要说明了海豚妈妈通过教授幼崽使用独特的声音来教会幼崽说话。文章解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的意义。可知，文章的目的是分享海豚交流的新发现。故选C。 D Getting into arguments, whether with family or strangers online, can feel like debating with a wall. We are probably all guilty of thinking we’re right, even if we don’t have all the facts. This phenomenon called the “illusion of information adequacy” is detailed in a recent psychology study. “Interpersonal conflict is on the rise, driving increases in anger, anxiety and stress,” said Angus Fletcher, a neurophysiologist at the Ohio State University. “We wanted to look into those misunderstandings and see if they could be reduced.” Fletcher’s team surveyed 1,261 Americans online.Participants were divided into groups and given articles about a fictional factory. One group read only reasons for the factory to merge (合并) with another factory, another only reasons for staying separate, and a Control group read all the arguments. They found that the majority of the groups who only read the pro- or anti-merging arguments believed they had enough information to make a good decision, and would follow the article’s recommendation, while about 55 and 45 percent of the control group recommended the factories merge or separate. The participants with the one-sided information also assumed that others would make the same decision they did. The team calls this belief the illusion of information adequacy, as Fletcher describes it, “The less our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs.” These findings add to research on naive realism, the belief that one’s subjective understanding is objective truth. While naive realism studies focus on different understandings of the same situation, Fletcher’s research shows people may share the same understanding, if given sufficient information.When the participants from the one-sided groups were asked to read all the arguments, some would change their minds. The mix of opinions was comparable to the control group - about 55 to 45 percent. “One of the best ways to fight the illusion of information adequacy when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something I’m missing that would help me see their points better?’ This can help avoid unnecessary interpersonal conflict, allowing us to focus on working through key differences between ourselves and others,” said Fletcher. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The academic background of Angus Fletcher. B. The cause and effect of interpersonal conflicts. C. The importance of reducing misunderstandings. D. The significance and purpose of Fletcher’s study. 13. What were all three groups asked to do during the study? A. Defend their own views. B. Discuss before making decisions. C. Read the assigned arguments. D. Recommend the best article. 14. What does Fletcher’s research find? A. People with the same information make similar decisions. B. People from the control group are better decision-makers. C. People less informed are more likely to change their minds. D. People with partial information overestimate their judgments. 15. What does Fletcher suggest people do when disagreeing with others? A. Work through key differences together. B. Check for extra facts to understand others. C. Stop arguing to avoid interpersonal conflict. D. Get more evidence to support their own point. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了俄亥俄州立大学的神经生理学家安格斯・弗莱彻（Angus Fletcher）的一项心理学研究，研究发现人们存在“信息充足的错觉”这一现象，即大脑知道的越少，就越自信自己知道了所有需要知道的东西，同时研究还表明当人们得到足够的信息时，可能会有相同的理解，并且弗莱彻给出了应对“信息充足的错觉”的建议。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段““Interpersonal conflict is on the rise, driving increases in anger, anxiety and stress,” said Angus Fletcher, a neurophysiologist at the Ohio State University. “We wanted to look into those misunderstandings and see if they could be reduced.”(俄亥俄州立大学的神经生理学家安格斯・弗莱彻说：“人际冲突在增加，导致愤怒、焦虑和压力加剧。我们想调查这些误解，看看是否可以减少它们)”可知，本段先说明了人际冲突增加带来的不良影响，这体现了研究的意义，接着表明了想要调查并减少误解的目的，可推理出第二段主要讲的是弗莱彻研究的意义和目的。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Participants were divided into groups and given articles about a fictional factory. One group read only reasons for the factory to merge (合并) with another factory, another only reasons for staying separate, and a Control group read all the arguments. (参与者被分成小组，并得到了关于一个虚构工厂的文章。一组只阅读了该工厂与另一家工厂合并的理由，另一组只阅读了保持独立的理由，而对照组阅读了所有的论点)”可知，这三组都被要求阅读关于虚构工厂的文章，但阅读的是所分配给的相关论点，故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“They found that the majority of the groups who only read the pro- or anti-merging arguments believed they had enough information to make a good decision, and would follow the article’s recommendation, while about 55 and 45 percent of the control group recommended the factories merge or separate. The participants with the one-sided information also assumed that others would make the same decision they did. (他们发现，大多数只阅读了支持或反对合并论点的小组认为他们有足够的信息做出一个好的决定，并且会遵循文章的建议，而对照组中约55%和45%的人建议工厂合并或分开。拥有片面信息的参与者也认为其他人会做出和他们一样的决定)”以及第五段“The team calls this belief the illusion of information adequacy, as Fletcher describes it, “The less our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs.”(研究小组称这种信念为“信息充足的错觉”，正如弗莱彻所描述的那样，“我们的大脑知道的越少，就越自信自己知道了所有需要知道的东西)”可知，只获得片面信息的人认为自己有足够信息做决定，还认为别人也会和自己做同样的决定，可推理出得到部分信息的人高估了自己的判断。故选D项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““One of the best ways to fight the illusion of information adequacy when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something I’m missing that would help me see their points better?’ This can help avoid unnecessary interpersonal conflict, allowing us to focus on working through key differences between ourselves and others,” said Fletcher. (弗莱彻说：“当与某人意见不一致时，对抗“信息充足的错觉”的最佳方法之一是停下来问问自己，“是否有我遗漏的东西可以帮助我更好地理解他们的观点？”这可以帮助避免不必要的人际冲突，让我们专注于解决自己和他人之间的关键分歧)”可知，当与他人意见不一致时，弗莱彻建议人们检查是否有额外的事实来理解他人。故选B项。 二、七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 In today’s digital age, screens are an unavoidable part of daily life.

Students record short entries after each partner meeting noting the language skills practised and the topics discussed. Each pair of students meets three times throughout the term with a teacher who decides if the exchange is effective. Students who successfully complete the programme will receive one credit each. Requirements for completion: •One welcoming session on the second Friday of the term •18 weekly one-hour pair meetings •Weekly progress reports for all pair meetings •At least three pair-teacher meetings •One five-minute final video Sign up! The sign-up and registration process is as follows: •Students sign up and indicate the languages they can share and languages they are interested in learning. •Based on the information entered by each student, potential pairs are identified. •Proficiency (熟练) levels are confirmed through coursework or placement tests. •Once a pair has been determined to be suitable, the students will be contacted individually with a special permission number to register for the programme. Reminders: Signing up for the programme does not automatically mean that you will be able to register and participate. Pairs are matched by languages of interest and proficiency levels. Since there are many factors involved in the pairing process, not all students who sign up will be matched with a partner and be able to register for the programme. 1.

To complete the programme, students are required to _________. A. development tests B. participate in pair meetings C. welcome new students D. work on weekly videos 3.

B When Martin Roth started as a forest ranger in the 1980s, his job was to care for the forest to ensure continuity for decades, even centuries. Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest serve as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the nickname “digital forest ranger.” After a severe storm, the clock starts ticking: Damaged trees should be removed before the arrival of bark beetles, which grow in dead trees and can destroy entire forests. While it once took Roth about 2.5 hours to cover an acre on foot, drones (无人机) now let him survey the entire 3,000 acres in several days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, inform owners of affected plots, and send updates to workers. Roth’s exploration goes beyond drones. His recent project is combining body camera with AI. “Usually you mark the trees, they’re cut down, and you have no idea how much wood you’ll get, what quality, and which species,” he explains. AI now “sees” through his body cam, recognizes tree species, estimates wood production, and sends real-time information to his phone. Since up to half of European tree species are unsuited to rising temperatures and extended dry periods, Roth has also begun experimenting with new species, planting them in small groups and keeping track of them in his system. As forest areas expand, interventions are needed, but there aren’t enough employees to keep it all straight. “Either I know it, or the computer knows it, or no one knows it and it’s lost,” he says. Roth’s expertise in tackling the challenges of modern forestry with technology is increasingly sought after—colleagues reach out for advice, and he lectures on the topic at universities. But he warns that technology can never replace a wander through the forest: “I should never believe that the digital twin is reality. I always have to do a reality check.” 4. What was Roth’s job when he started his career? A. Sustaining forest health. B. Predicting the forest’s future. C. Managing disasters. D. Seeking high-tech solutions. 5. What does Roth use drones to do? A. Identify dead tree species. B. Remove harmful insects. C. Collect data of forest damage. D. Inform owners of their loss. 6. What point is Roth trying to make with his words in paragraph 4? A. Forests are a cure for climate change. B. Experienced workers are in great need. C. Forest expansion is successfully controlled. D. Technology is key to tracking forest information. 7. Why does Roth warn about the use of technology in forestry? A. It may replace human workers. B. It may need too much checking. C. It may provide false information. D. It may deny chances of forest walks. C When adult humans meet a baby, many can’t help speaking in a higher-pitched (更高音的), sing-song y voice. This shift, known as parentese, is not unique to humans — it has also been observed in animals like monkeys and gorillas. Now, scientists are adding one more species to that list: bottlenose dolphins. Dolphins are intelligent animals that live and hunt in groups. They communicate in a unique way: every individual produces its own signature sound that acts much like an ID card, usually by its first birthday. But how does each come up with its distinctive whistle? For babies, it might have something to do with listening to Mum. To solve this mystery, researchers examined the sounds mother dolphins, make. Scientists studied 34 years’ worth of recordings of sounds made by 19 female bottlenose dolphins. When the mother dolphins were near their young, they continued to make their signature sound, but at a higher frequency. They also used a wider range of frequencies than they did when their babies were not nearby. This discovery suggests that using these modifications mother dolphins assist their young in learning how to produce these calls themselves. Since dolphin babies often spend some years with their mothers before living on their own, it makes sense that this adaptation would help them learn to communicate. At the very least, the higher-pitched whistle likely gets the babies’ attention. “It’s important for a baby to know,’ Oh, Mum’s talking to me now,’” says marine biologist June Mann. This kind of research could help us understand how language developed in humans. “It is absolutely essential to have basic knowledge about other species and how they communicate,” says Mann. “I would be really interested to see whether dolphins also change their sounds when interacting with babies of others, which is what happens in humans.” 8. What do the underlined words “this mystery ”refer to in paragraph 2? A. Why dolphins live and play in groups. B. How dolphins develop their unique sounds. C. What aspects of intelligence dolphins possess. D. Whether dolphins can use parentese like humans. 9. How did the researchers carry out their study of dolphins? A. By analyzing mother dolphins’ sound features. B. By recording parent-child interaction frequency. C. By measuring the distance between parent and child. D. By examining the speech organs of mother dolphins. 10. What is a suggested reason why dolphin mothers use parentese with their young? A. To help them learn to talk. B. To teach them hunting skills. C. To express worry and care. D. To distract their attention. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To compare the parentese of humans and dolphins. B. To illustrate the development of dolphin intelligence. C. To share new findings about dolphin communication. D. To highlight the value of studying dolphins’ language. D Getting into arguments, whether with family or strangers online, can feel like debating with a wall. We are probably all guilty of thinking we’re right, even if we don’t have all the facts. This phenomenon called the “illusion of information adequacy” is detailed in a recent psychology study. “Interpersonal conflict is on the rise, driving increases in anger, anxiety and stress,” said Angus Fletcher, a neurophysiologist at the Ohio State University. “We wanted to look into those misunderstandings and see if they could be reduced.” Fletcher’s team surveyed 1,261 Americans online.Participants were divided into groups and given articles about a fictional factory. One group read only reasons for the factory to merge (合并) with another factory, another only reasons for staying separate, and a Control group read all the arguments. They found that the majority of the groups who only read the pro- or anti-merging arguments believed they had enough information to make a good decision, and would follow the article’s recommendation, while about 55 and 45 percent of the control group recommended the factories merge or separate. The participants with the one-sided information also assumed that others would make the same decision they did. The team calls this belief the illusion of information adequacy, as Fletcher describes it, “The less our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs.” These findings add to research on naive realism, the belief that one’s subjective understanding is objective truth. While naive realism studies focus on different understandings of the same situation, Fletcher’s research shows people may share the same understanding, if given sufficient information.When the participants from the one-sided groups were asked to read all the arguments, some would change their minds. The mix of opinions was comparable to the control group - about 55 to 45 percent. “One of the best ways to fight the illusion of information adequacy when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something I’m missing that would help me see their points better?’ This can help avoid unnecessary interpersonal conflict, allowing us to focus on working through key differences between ourselves and others,” said Fletcher. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The academic background of Angus Fletcher. B. The cause and effect of interpersonal conflicts. C. The importance of reducing misunderstandings. D. The significance and purpose of Fletcher’s study. 13. What were all three groups asked to do during the study? A. Defend their own views. B. Discuss before making decisions. C. Read the assigned arguments. D. Recommend the best article. 14. What does Fletcher’s research find? A. People with the same information make similar decisions. B. People from the control group are better decision-makers. C. People less informed are more likely to change their minds. D. People with partial information overestimate their judgments. 15. What does Fletcher suggest people do when disagreeing with others? A. Work through key differences together. B. Check for extra facts to understand others. C. Stop arguing to avoid interpersonal conflict. D. Get more evidence to support their own point. 二、七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 In today’s digital age, screens are an unavoidable part of daily life.
