Being overweight is harmful to health. It can increase the risk of diseases such as heart problems and high blood pressure. China has made a three-year weight management plan to help people control weight. So, do you know how to manage your weight?
Both what you eat and how you eat are very important. You should eat meals at regular times. Have breakfast every day and finish dinner by 7 p.m.. Avoid snacks, fried food and drinks with lots of sugar. Eat until you’re 70% full and eat slowly. Begin your meal with vegetables, then meat, and finally rice or noodles. This helps to control how much you eat.
Exercise is as crucial as eating. Try to exercise for 150 to 300 minutes each week such as walking, swimming or bike riding, along with strength training twice a week. If you sit for too long, stand up and move for 3 to 5 minutes every hour. Also, get enough sleep, about 7 hours a night.
What’s more, some cities have already set up special “weight management clinics (门诊)” in hospitals. In order to help people lose weight safely, some experts can provide people with advice on diet, exercise plans and Traditional Chinese Medicine methods. Schools are encouraged to teach students about healthy eating. Families, hotels, and other places can also provide support for weight management. Even AI technology might be used to improve personal weight management.
Experts remind us that weight management is not a short-term goal. It’s a lifelong habit. Let’s work together for a healthier future.
4. Why has China made a three-year weight management plan?
A. To do medical research. B. To improve students’ diet.
C. To encourage people to relax. D. To help people control weight.
5. What’s the second paragraph mainly about?
A. Basic table manners. B. Healthy eating habits.
C. Useful cooking skills. D. Scientific exercise plans.
6. The underlined word “crucial” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A. important B. popular C. convenient D. available
7. What can we infer from the passage?

C. Good habits make a big difference to weight management.
D. Exercising for an hour each week is enough to help lose weight.
C
People are talking a lot about artificial intelligence (AI), viewing it as a force that could reshape how society works. But there is something important missing from this discussion. It isn’t enough to ask how it will change us. We also need to understand how we shape AI and what it can tell us about ourselves.
Every AI model we develop mirrors our rules and expresses our beliefs. A few years ago, while looking for new workers, a famous company gave up an AI-powered tool after finding it unfavorable to women. The AI was not designed to behave this way, instead, it was influenced by the historical data (数据) favoring men. Similarly, a recent study found that lending algorithms (算法) often offer less favorable terms to people of color, worsening long-standing unfairness in money-lending business. In both cases, AI isn’t creating new biases (偏见), it is mirroring the ones that are already present.
These reflections (反映) give us an important chance to take a close look at ourselves. By making these problems seen and more pressing, AI challenges us to recognize and address what causes algorithmic bias. As AI continues to develop, we must ask ourselves how we as average people want to shape its role in society. We should not only improve AI models, but also make sure that AI is developed and used responsibly.
A number of companies are taking actions now. They are judging the data, rules, and beliefs that shape the behavior of AI models. Still, we cannot expect the companies to do all the work. As long as AI is trained on human data, it will reflect human behavior. That means we have to think carefully about the footprints of ourselves we leave in the
world. I may value privacy, but if I give it up in a heartbeat to visit a website, the algorithms may make a very different judgment of what I really want and what is good for me. If I want meaningful human connections yet spend more time on social media and less time in the physical company of my friends, I am indirectly training AI models about the true nature of humanity.
As AI becomes more powerful, we need to take increasing care to read our principles (原则) into the record of our actions rather than allowing the two to separate. Recognizing this allows us to make better decisions, but only when we are prepared to look closely and take responsibility for what we see.
8. Why does the writer introduce the two examples in Paragraph 2?
A. To suggest a solution. B. To stress a difference.
C. To challenge a practice. D. To support an opinion.
9. According to the passage, what is a good example of shaping AI responsibility?
A. Guarding one’s privacy against AI models.
B. Being mindful of our feeds into AI models.
C. Training algorithms to favor the latest data.
D. Designing algorithms to deal with unfairness.
10. How does the writer mainly develop the passage?
A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples.
C. By showing stories. D. By explaining reasons.
11. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. AI Isn’t the Problem; We Are
B. AI: A Tool to Reshape Our Society
C. More Open algorithms for Better AI?
D. Building Trust in Human-AI Relationships
D
What is a grassland?
A grassland is a biome (生物群落区) that is covered with grasses. Grass is everything to a grassland. Grass is food for animals. Grass can keep the grassland warm and wet. Grass stops the wind from blowing away the soil.
There are two kinds of grasslands. Temperate grasslands are one kind. Temperate means the environment has a mild (温和) climate and four seasons. Temperate grasslands have rich soil. Tropical (热带的) grasslands are the other kind. Tropical means the environment is near the equator and is warm all year round. Tropical grasslands have a rainy season and a dry season. They usually have more trees and poorer soil than temperate grasslands. Both temperate and tropical grasslands have a yearly rainfall of 25 to 75 centimeters. With so little rain, the land can dry out. Fires can start easily.
What adaptations (适应性) help grassland plants and animals survive?
Different grasslands have different kinds of grasses. However, nearly all grassland grasses have adaptations to growing well in dry conditions. Grasses have deep roots. The roots can take in water and keep nutrients (营养). When a fire burns, everything above ground is destroyed. Down below, the roots survive. They hold on to their water and nutrients.
After a fire, new stalks (茎) can grow from the roots. The old, dead grass becomes part of the soil. Gradually, the soil gets richer and richer. Most grasses have adaptations to growing from the roots. This helps them survive and grow after animals eat the tops of the plants.
Trees that grow in tropical grasslands also have adaptations that help them survive. For example, the baobab tree grows leaves only during the wet season. It loses its leaves during the dry season.
Many kinds of animals live in grasslands. All of them have adaptations that help them survive. Some grassland animals have flat teeth for eating grass. For example, with their flat teeth, zebras bite off the tops of grasses that are difficult to cut.
12. What plays the most important role in a grassland?
A. The tree. B. The soil. C. The grass. D. The animal.
13. What do the two kinds of grasslands have in common?
A. The kind of grasses. B. The kind of climate.
C. The number of seasons. D. The low yearly rainfall.
14. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Zebras use flat teeth for biting off grasses.
B. After a fire, the grass on the grassland dies forever.
C. The leaves of the baobab trees drop during the wet season.
D. Most grasses can’t grow after animals eat the tops of the plants.
15. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Life in the grassland. B. Fires in the grassland.
C. Plants in the grassland. D. Climate of the grassland.

第三部分 书面表达 (共两节,满分30分)
第一节 阅读表达 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,完成短文后的问题。
Do you speak a dialect (方言), which means local language, in daily life? While many Chinese people speak Putonghua, some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago.
This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library. In it people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips and over 5 million videos.
Why is it important to protect the dialect culture? According to Harold Palmer, a world expert on language, “dialects are a key to storing local cultures. Language clearly shows the history and beliefs of an area,” he said.
Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his worries about the disappearance of dialects. “For about 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said.
So how did China make this big library? “A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen,” said Cao Zhiyun, an expert on the project. “More than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with thousands of experts and dialect speakers.”
The project is now entering into its second part. It includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects.
41. Why did the Chinese government start the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project?

42. Where can people learn dialects from audio clips and videos?

C. More Open algorithms for Better AI?

【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要讨论了人工智能(AI)并非独立存在,而是反映了人类自身的偏见和行为。作者通过具体案例说明AI只是镜像了人类已有的不公平,并呼吁人们不仅要改进AI模型,更要反思自身行为,对AI的发展承担责任。
【8题详解】
第二段提出观点:“AI isn’t creating new biases, it is mirroring the ones that are already present.” 随后给出两个例子——某公司AI招聘工具歧视女性,以及贷款算法对有色人种不利——都是为了支撑这一观点,说明AI只是反映了已有的偏见,而非制造新偏见。因此选D,用例子来支持观点。
【9题详解】
第四段指出:“That means we have to think carefully about the footprints of ourselves we leave in the world.” 并举例说明:如果你重视隐私却轻易放弃,算法就会做出不同判断。这说明塑造AI责任的好方式是注意我们输入给AI的内容(our feeds into AI models)。
【10题详解】
全文通过大量具体例子来展开论述:第二段用招聘AI和贷款算法的例子说明AI反映人类偏见,第四段用个人浏览网站和社交媒体的例子说明个人行为如何影响AI。作者主要通过举例(giving examples)来发展文章。
【11题详解】
全文核心观点是:AI不是问题的根源,人类自身才是。AI只是镜像了人类的偏见和行为,真正需要改变的是我们自己。标题“AI Isn’t the Problem; We Are”最能概括全文主旨。

Trees that grow in tropical grasslands also have adaptations that help them survive. For example, the baobab tree grows leaves only during the wet season. It loses its leaves during the dry season.
Many kinds of animals live in grasslands. All of them have adaptations that help them survive. Some grassland animals have flat teeth for eating grass. For example, with their flat teeth, zebras bite off the tops of grasses that are difficult to cut.
12. What plays the most important role in a grassland?
A. The tree. B. The soil. C. The grass. D. The animal.
13. What do the two kinds of grasslands have in common?
A. The kind of grasses. B. The kind of climate.

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。选项中有一项为多余选项。
What is the third season of the year called? It depends on where in the world you are and whom you ask. ____16____ But in the US, you will find that people usually use both fall and autumn interchangeably (交替地) when referring to this time of year. ____17____
According to Dictionary.com, fall isn’t a modern nickname that followed the more traditional autumn. The two terms are actually first recorded within a few hundred years of each other.
____18____ It means “picking” or “reaping (收割)”, referring to gathering and preserving crops before winter.
In the 1500s, English speakers began referring to the third season with the falling of the leaves. ____19____ At the same time, the word is simple and evocative (形象). By the end of the 1600s, autumn from the French and the Latin, took the place of fall as the standard British word for the third season.
Around the same time, the first British pioneers went to North America. ____20____ Although the word fall fell out of fashion overseas, it was still used as the local language before the US won its independence. Today, using both words to describe the season before winter is still an American behavior.
A. The word “fall” is short for falling.
B. In the UK, it usually has only one name: autumn.
C. With them, they brought both the words ‘fall’ and ‘autumn’.
D. The season between summer and winter was known as harvest long ago.
E. There are several ways to express the third season of the year.
F. So what gives the season two names in English?
【答案】16. B 17. F 18. D 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要探讨了一年中第三个季节在不同地区的不同名称,重点解释了“fall”和“autumn”两个词的由来及在英美两国的使用差异。
【16题详解】
第一段前文提到“It depends on where in the world you are and whom you ask.”,后文提到“But in the US, you will find that people usually use both fall and autumn interchangeably.”,选项B“In the UK, it usually has only one name: autumn.”能够承接上文,说明在英国只用“autumn”一个名称,与后文美国两个词交替使用形成对比,逻辑通顺。
【17题详解】
第二段后文提到“According to Dictionary.com, fall isn’t a modern nickname that followed the more traditional autumn. The two terms are actually first recorded within a few hundred years of each other.”,选项F“So what gives the season two names in English?”能够承接上文,在提出英美用词差异后,自然引出下文对两个词由来的解释。
【18题详解】
第三段后文提到“It means ‘picking’ or ‘reaping (收割)’, referring to gathering and preserving crops before winter.”,选项D“The season between summer and winter was known as harvest long ago.”能够承接上文,引出“harvest”这个古老名称,后文的“It”正好指代“harvest”并解释其含义。
【19题详解】
第四段前文提到“English speakers began referring to the third season with the falling of the leaves.”,后文提到“At the same time, the word is simple and evocative (形象).”,选项A“The word ‘fall’ is short for falling.”能够承接上文,解释“fall”一词其实是“falling”的缩写,后文“simple and evocative”正是对这个简短词汇的评价。
【20题详解】
第五段前文提到“the first British pioneers went to North America.”,后文提到“Although the word fall fell out of fashion overseas, it was still used as the local language before the US won its independence.”,选项C“With them, they brought both the words ‘fall’ and ‘autumn’.”能够承接上文,说明英国殖民者把两个词都带到了北美,与后文“fall在海外过时但在当地仍被使用”形成逻辑呼应。

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了宋代著名诗人苏轼在黄州任官期间,一个冬夜因月光美丽不忍独自入睡,便去拜访好友张怀民,两人在月光下漫步赏景、沉醉其中,并因此写下了一篇著名文章的故事。
【21题详解】
句意:有几年他在黄州担任官员。
work as“担任……职务”,固定搭配,表示以某种身份工作。as“作为”符合语境,for“为了”、out“出去”和on“在……上”不符合。
【22题详解】
句意:一个冬夜,在准备睡觉时吹灭蜡烛后,他注意到了透过窗户的银色月光。
after是介词,后接动名词形式,blowing“吹灭”符合语法要求。blow是原形,blew是过去式,to blow是不定式,均不符合介词后的用法。
【23题详解】
句意:如果我就这样睡着而错过了月光,那将是一件憾事!
此处表示假设条件,“如果”就这样睡着会很可惜,if“如果”引导条件状语从句,符合语境。before“在……之前”、unless“除非”和until“直到”不符合句意。
【24题详解】
句意:他想起他的朋友张怀民那时正住在附近的一座寺庙里。
at that time“在那时”表明动作在过去某一时刻正在进行,应用过去进行时,was staying“正住在”符合语境。would stay是过去将来时,stayed是一般过去时,stays是一般现在时,均不符。
【25题详解】
句意:所以,他决定去拜访他的朋友,给他一个惊喜。
unexpected以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an修饰。a用于辅音音素开头的单词前,the是定冠词表特指,/表示零冠词,均不符。
【26题详解】
句意:当苏轼到达寺庙时,他惊讶地发现他的朋友也醒着。
be amazed to do sth.“惊讶地做某事”,形容人的感受用amazed“感到惊讶的”。amazement是名词,amazing“令人惊讶的”形容事物,amaze是动词原形,均不符。
【27题详解】
句意:竹子和松树的影子在地上看起来像水生植物。
根据“shadows (影子)”的主语是“竹子和松树”,用复数形式“the bamboo and pine trees”。
【28题详解】
句意:它们似乎随着波浪轻柔地移动。
此处修饰动词move,应用副词形式,gently“轻柔地”符合语法要求。gentle是形容词,gentler和gentlest是比较级和最高级,均不能修饰动词。
【29题详解】
句意:苏轼被美丽的夜色所吸引。
Su Shi与attract之间是被动关系,且主语是单数,应用一般过去时的被动语态was attracted。attracted缺少be动词,were attracted主语应为复数,was attracting是主动语态,均不符。
【30题详解】
句意:在他看来,两个朋友能一起分享同样的快乐心情和对月亮和树木的喜爱,是一件极大的乐事。
It is a great pleasure for sb. to do sth.“对某人来说做某事是一大乐事”,固定句型,应用不定式to share。share是原形,sharing是动名词,shared是过去式,均不符。

第三部分 书面表达 (共两节,满分30分)
第一节 阅读表达 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,完成短文后的问题。
Do you speak a dialect (方言), which means local language, in daily life? While many Chinese people speak Putonghua, some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago.
This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library. In it people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips and over 5 million videos.
Why is it important to protect the dialect culture? According to Harold Palmer, a world expert on language, “dialects are a key to storing local cultures. Language clearly shows the history and beliefs of an area,” he said.
Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his worries about the disappearance of dialects. “For about 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said.
So how did China make this big library? “A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen,” said Cao Zhiyun, an expert on the project. “More than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with thousands of experts and dialect speakers.”
The project is now entering into its second part. It includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects.
