M: What is your plan to help these people?
W: I think we should give them all a home. We have so many empty buildings lying around. We can turn them into small apartments and give these people a chance to pick themselves up.
M: Now you are putting your money where your mouth is with this latest album.
W: Yes. Twenty percent of all sales are going to a homeless charity I volunteer with called Shelter.
M: It’s nice of you to do so!

第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
The Maya (玛雅人) were good at math. They counted in groups of 20, not 10. They wrote numbers in columns going up. The bottom row was the “1s” column, the next row up was 20s, then 400s, and so on. For digits, they used a dot for 1, a line for 5, and a shell shape to show zero. Numbers 1 to 19 were written with a combination of lines and dots.
The number 1209 (three 400s + no 20s + nine 1s) would look like this:
A Maya village might keep a record of the pumpkins they harvested like this:
The Maya also kept three different calendars. The first divided the year into 18 months of 20 days each, plus a short month of 5 days. The short month was believed to be unlucky, a time when spirits walked.
The second calendar repeated every 260 days. This was used to plan celebrations and predict future. This calendar counted 13 months of 20 days each. Each date had its own set of 3 symbols (day, month, and year).
When talking about events long ago, they used a calendar called the “long count.” This covered about 5,125 years. Year 1 on this calendar was 3114 BCE on our calendar.
Each city and village had a calendar keeper, who was in charge of saying when to celebrate holidays and when to expect rain or plant crops. But farmers could probably also tell the time of the year from the sun and stars.
21. How many pumpkins did the Maya village harvest according to Figure 3?
A. 114. B. 409. C. 414. D. 439.
22. What could the “long count” calendar be used for?
A. Marking the unlucky days. B. Recording ancient events.
C. Dividing the year into 18 months. D. Predicting and making future plans.
23. Which learning project would this text be most suitable for?
A. Design a travel plan to the Maya ruins
B. Write a report on the Maya agriculture
C. Give a presentation on Maya artistic symbols
D. Make a poster of Maya scientific achievements
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了玛雅人在数学和历法方面的成就,包括其二十进制计数系统、数字符号的表示方式以及三种不同用途的日历。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据玛雅计数规则,数字按从下到上的“1s、20s、400s”三列书写。最下方1s列:有2条线(每条代表5)和4个点(每个代表1),计算:2×5+4×1=14;中间20s列:是贝壳符号(代表0),即0×20=0;最上方400s列:有1个点(代表1),即1×400=400。将三列数值相加:400+0+14=414。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“When talking about events long ago, they used a calendar called the ‘long count.’(在谈论很久以前的事情时,他们使用了一种叫做“长计数”的历法。)”可知,长计历是用于谈论很久以前发生的事件,即记录古代历史事件。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。文章通篇讲述玛雅人的二十进制数学系统、数字符号写法以及三种日历(科学历法),这都属于古代文明的科学成就范畴。因此该文本最适合用于制作关于“玛雅科学成就”的海报。
B
My mother always told me, “You should explore your own country before stepping out into the world.” However, it seems like a tough mission to travel all across its expansive surfaces. But luckily for me, Via Rail Canada offered youths between the ages of 18 and 25 the chance to ride the train across Canada for the month of July. The ticket was a bargain $150. My best friends Trevor, Joel and Jeremy and I immediately jumped at the opportunity and secured four tickets on the great Canadian railroad.
For a group of 20-year-olds, this was like the first flight of young birds from the nest. When we approached the train station in the morning, our 22-day adventure from Sudbury to Vancouver was to begin. Eyes baggy from lack of sleep, we jumped on board as if it was the train to Hogwarts in Harry Potter. Although the thought of three full days on those tracks covering close to 3, 000 kilometres crushed our spirits a little, what happened next caught us by surprise.
The three days on board turned into a summer camp on rails. At night, we would climb up the glass-domed train car, which gave us a scenic view of the starry night sky, untouched by the harmful light pollution. Before we knew it, the warm sun rays beating down on our faces woke us up for another day on the rails. To my surprise, a sea of golden grain fields dominated the landscape we were in the Canadian Prairies.
Another day slipped away and we set up for another night in the dome (圆顶状物). And this time we were greeted by night sky painted by a fantastic thunderstorm. Lightning was striking at an incredible rate. The spectacular and memorable light show left everyone in the glass bubble in complete disbelief.
Arriving in the Rocky Mountains was one of the most surreal experiences of my life. Before the train adventure, if I could have skipped the travel and arrived at the destination, I would have. That is no longer true. I’ve learned that the journey can be more enjoyable than the destination.
24. What has made the author’s train adventure across Canada a reality?
A. The encouragement given by his mother.
B. The discount ticket offered by Via Rail Canada.
C. The appeal of the scenic views in the country.
D. His great courage to challenge a tough mission.
25. What can we infer about the young people from Paragraph 2?
A. They left their parents for the first time in their life.
B. They never thought of having a train adventure.
C. They were hooked by the magic story of Harry Potter.
D. They were excited about the coming train journey.
26. What does “the glass bubble” in the fourth paragraph refer to?
A. The glass-domed train car. B. The sightseeing tour.
C. A state of excitement. D. A summer camp on the train.
27. What did the author learn from the train adventure across Canada?
A. The destination is what matters.
B. Adventurous journey attracts young people.
C. Enjoying a journey counts a lot.
D. The traveling experience is not real to him.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了作者和朋友乘坐火车穿越加拿大的经历,描述了他们在路途中的所见所闻和感受。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, it seems like a tough mission to travel all across its expansive surfaces. But luckily for me, Via Rail Canada offered youths between the ages of 18 and 25 the chance to ride the train across Canada for the month of July. The ticket was a bargain $150.(然而,穿越它广阔的表面似乎是一项艰巨的任务。但对我来说幸运的是,Via Rail Canada为18至25岁的年轻人提供了在7月份乘坐火车穿越加拿大的机会。票价便宜到150美元。)”可知,是加拿大Via铁路公司提供的折扣票让作者穿越加拿大的火车冒险变成了现实。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“For a group of 20-year-olds, this was like the first flight of young birds from the nest. When we approached the train station in the morning, our 22-day adventure from Sudbury to Vancouver was to begin. Eyes baggy from lack of sleep, we jumped on board as if it was the train to Hogwarts in Harry Potter.(对于一群20多岁的年轻人来说,这就像是雏鸟第一次从巢里飞出来。当我们早上到达火车站时,我们从Sudbury到Vancouver的22天冒险就要开始了。由于睡眠不足,我们的眼睛都肿了起来,我们跳上了火车,就好像是《哈利波特》里开往霍格沃茨的火车。)”可推知,年轻人对即将到来的火车旅行很兴奋。故选D。
【26题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中“At night, we would climb up the glass-domed train car, which gave us a scenic view of the starry night sky, untouched by the harmful light pollution.(晚上,我们会爬上玻璃圆顶车厢,在那里我们可以看到满天星斗的夜空,没有受到有害的光污染。)”以及划线短语上文And this time we were greeted by night sky painted by a fantastic thunderstorm. Lightning was striking at an incredible rate. The spectacular and memorable light show left everyone可知,这次迎接我们的是描绘着梦幻般的雷雨的夜空。闪电以令人难以置信的速度袭来。壮观而难忘的光影秀让“the glass bubble”里的每个人都难以置信。由此可知,“the glass bubble”指的是玻璃穹顶的火车车厢。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’ve learned that the journey can be more enjoyable than the destination.(我明白了旅途比目的地更令人愉快。)”可推知,作者从穿越加拿大的火车冒险中学到了享受一段旅程很重要。故选C。
C
Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).
In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now — several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.
Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI—the technology companies and world leaders—so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.
AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.
28. What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. If read by someone poorly educated. B. If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned.
C. If written by someone less competent. D. If translated by someone unacademic.
29. What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text?
A. It is packed with complex codes. B. It adopts a down-to-earth writing style.
C. It provides step-by-step instructions. D. It is intended for AI professionals.
30. What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?
A. Observe existing regulations on it.
B. Reconsider expert opinions about it.
C. Make joint efforts to keep it under control.
D. Learn from prior experience to slow it down.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To recommend a book on AI. B. To give a brief account of AI history.
C. To clarify the definition of AI. D. To honor an outstanding AI expert.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Catriona Campbell所著AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence一书。该书作为应对AI革命挑战的实用指南,以商业视角阐述AI发展现状与前景,强调控制AI的重要性,呼吁各界协同确保人工智能安全发展,以防潜在危机。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades' professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI. (这样一本书可能会像驱动人工智能的计算机代码一样复杂,但值得庆幸的是,坎贝尔有20多年的专业经验,可以将令人兴奋的内容转化为可理解的内容。她从商业人士的实际角度而不是学者的角度出发,撰写了一本非常通俗易懂、内容丰富的指南,读完后会让你觉得自己几乎和人工智能一样聪明)”可知,坎贝尔撰写的这本书是通俗易懂的,如果别人写这本书的话可能就不是这样了,推测划线短语表示 “如果是由能力较差的人写的”。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.(值得庆幸的是,坎贝尔有20多年的专业经验,可以将令人兴奋的内容转化为可理解的内容。她从商业人士的实际角度而不是学者的角度出发,撰写了一本非常通俗易懂、内容丰富的指南,读完后会让你觉得自己几乎和人工智能一样聪明)”可知,坎贝尔在书中将令人兴奋的内容转化为可理解的内容,这本书的特点是通俗易懂,推测它采用了接地气的写作风格。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段“She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse. (她说,我们必须保持对人工智能的控制,否则就有被边缘化甚至更糟的风险)”和文章倒数第二段“We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall. (我们需要考虑我们希望人工智能的未来如何发展。这种结构化的思维,加上全球监管,将使我们走向伟大,而不是走向衰败)”可知,坎贝尔敦促人们保持对人工智能的控制,考虑人工智能的未来应如何发展,所以关于人工智能的发展,坎贝尔敦促人们共同努力将其控制住。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革). (考虑到人工智能改变我们生活的惊人潜力,我们都需要采取行动来应对人工智能驱动的未来,这正是AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence的用武之地。卡特里奥娜·坎贝尔撰写的这本引人入胜的新书是一本实用的路线图,旨在应对即将到来的人工智能革命带来的挑战)”和文章最后一段“AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it. (人工智能将影响我们所有人,如果你只读一本关于这个主题的书,那就是这本书)”可知,本文主要介绍了Catriona Campbell所著AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence一书,该书作为应对AI革命挑战的实用指南,以商业视角阐述AI发展现状与前景,强调控制AI的重要性,呼吁各界协同确保人工智能安全发展,以防潜在危机,所以作者写这篇文章的目的是推荐一本关于人工智能的书。故选A项。

D
The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant (空着的) office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., real estate developers see potential.
Cities across the U.S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other.
A project in D.C., which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion (转化) in the city to date. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior (外部) will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around $4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. “We would love to do more,” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.”
“It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand.
The decline of manufacturing (制造业) in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms.
32. What are cities like DC trying to do?
A. Repurpose empty offices. B. Tear down unused buildings.
C. Build housing in suburbs. D. Encourage working from home.
33. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3?
A. It requires structural changes. B. It targets low-income families.
C. It is funded by the government. D. It balances profit and social needs.
34. What does Tracy Loh think of the conversion?
A. Realistic. B. Not far-reaching.
C. Demanding. D. Short-sighted.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Cities Are Caught in Crisis B. Housing Demand Is Crying for More
C. Offices Are Becoming Homes D. Manufacturing Is Gaining a Second Life
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了美国多个城市正面临办公室空置率过高和住房短缺的双重问题,华盛顿特区等城市开始尝试将空置办公楼改造为住宅,以同时缓解这两个危机。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other.(像华盛顿特区这样的城市现在正寄希望于通过将空置办公室改造成住宅,一个危机能够帮助解决另一个危机。)”可知,华盛顿特区等城市正在尝试将空置办公室重新改造利用。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around 4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. ‘We would love to do more,’ says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, ‘but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.’(计划包括游泳池和狗公园等豪华设施,预计月租金约4000美元。然而,将有60套单元被预留为经济适用房。‘我们想要做得更多,’一家开发公司的总裁马特·佩斯特罗克说,‘但不幸的是,几乎所有资本都追求回报。这是我们能够负担得起的最大限度了。’)”可知,该项目在提供高端设施(追求利润)的同时,也预留了部分经济适用房(满足社会需求),实现了利润与社会需求的平衡。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“‘It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.’ says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand. (‘就提供部分住房供应而言,这确实是一举两得。’布鲁金斯学会研究员特蕾西·洛说,她研究旧建筑的适应性再利用。而且它倾向于在需求旺盛的中心城区和交通便利的地区创造住房。)”可知,特蕾西·洛认为这种做法确实能解决一些问题,但她用了“部分住房供应”,暗示这种转化只能提供部分住房,并不能从根本上解决住房短缺问题,因此她认为这种做法是现实的、可行的,但影响范围有限。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第二段“Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other. (像华盛顿特区这样的城市现在正寄希望于通过将空置办公室改造成住宅,一个危机能够帮助解决另一个危机。)”以及最后一段“Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms.(正如空置的工厂楼层变成了时尚的公寓,如今空置的办公空间正在变成时尚的厨房和卧室。)”可知,本文主要讲述的是将空置办公室改造为住宅这一趋势。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何避免社交媒体中的嫉妒感。
【36题详解】
根据前句“Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind particularly when you look over social media sites and are faced with all the exciting things your friends are up to?(你是否经常感到生活离你而去,尤其是当你浏览社交媒体网站时,面对着朋友们正在做的所有令人兴奋的事情?)”及下一段“FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to our own. It appears as a deep sense of envy, and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-esteem(自尊).(FOMO指的是别人的生活比我们自己的生活更优越的看法。它表现为一种强烈的嫉妒感,持续暴露在这种情绪下会削弱我们的自尊。)”可知,空处为承上启下句,即强烈的嫉妒感是很多人都有的感觉,引出下文对FOMO的介绍。所以选择项A“If so, you are not alone.(如果是这样,你并不孤单。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
【37题详解】
根据前句“While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature, social media seems to have added fuel to the fire. (嫉妒和缺乏自信似乎是人类的天性,而社交媒体似乎在火上浇油。)”和后文“Social media, with its built-in appeal, allows us to share only the best presentations of our life, while leaving out the more boring aspects. Although this could be characterized as dishonest, it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand. (社交媒体,以其固有的吸引力,让我们只分享我们生活中最好的一面,而忽略了更无聊的方面。虽然这可以被定性为不诚实,但这似乎是社交媒体所需要的氛围。)”可知,空处提问社交媒体为什么会有火上浇油的刺激作用,以引出下文对其原因的介绍。所以选择项D“Why does it have such a stimulating effect? (为什么它有这样的刺激作用?)”符合上下文语境。故选D。
【38题详解】
根据前句“Consider your own social media posts. (考虑一下你自己的社交媒体帖子。)”和后文“Well, so have others. And what they’ve left hidden is the fact that boredom, loneliness and unpleasant chores are an unavoidable part of everyone’s life, and you’re not the only one feeling left out. (其他人也是如此。而他们所隐藏的事实是,无聊、孤独和不愉快的家务是每个人生活中不可避免的一部分,你不是唯一一个被忽略的人。)”可知,呈现在社交媒体上一般都是经过选择过的,代表生活美好方面的。所以选择项G“Have you ever chosen photos that lead others to the rosiest conclusions about your life? (你有没有选择过一些照片,让别人对你的生活得出最美好的结论?)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
【39题详解】
空处为本段主题句,根据后文“You may not be a regular at fancy parties or a climber of dizzying peaks, but you have your health, a place to live and real friends who appreciate your presence in their lives. (你可能不是高档派对的常客,也不是攀登令人眼花缭乱的高峰的人,但你有健康的身体,有居住的地方,有真正的朋友,他们会欣赏你在他们生活中的存在。)”可知,本段主要介绍要学会欣赏积极的事物。所以选择项C“Learn to appreciate the positives. (学会欣赏积极的事物。)”符合上下文语境。故选C。
【40题详解】
根据前句“We are all flooded daily with photos of other people’s perfections, but really, what does it matter? (我们每天都被别人完美的照片淹没,但说真的,这有什么关系呢?)”可知,我们不能社交媒体上的完美照片的影响,因为它们不一定是真实的。所以选择项E“They are probably no more real than the funniest reality TV show. (它们可能并不比最有趣的电视真人秀更真实。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。

【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:尽管最终我恢复了过来,并取得了不错的成绩,但那种遗憾依然存在:要是我当时没有惊慌失措会怎样呢?A. actually实际上;B. eventually最终;C. quickly快速地;D. suddenly突然地。前文“For thirty minutes, my mind went completely blank,”提到作者考试时前30分钟大脑空白无法理解试卷,后文“recovered and achieved a decent result”说恢复状态并取得不错成绩,这需要一个过程,强调经过一段时间后“最终”恢复,eventually符合时间逻辑。

【46题详解】
考查动词。句意:这个错误让我浪费了宝贵的时间,我在开始演讲的五分钟前才匆匆走进会场。A. cost花费、使付出代价;B. won赢得;C. bought买;D. spared抽出、饶恕。根据后文“and I rushed into the hall just five minutes before the start.”可知,这个错误耽误了作者的宝贵时间。cost sb. precious time“使某人付出宝贵时间的代价”是常见搭配。
【47题详解】
考查动词和形容词。句意:看到听众已经就座,我感到一阵恐惧袭来。A. bored感到无聊的;B. seated就座的、坐好的;C. chatting聊天;D. leaving离开。根据前文“and I rushed into the hall just five minutes before the start.”可知,作者冲进大厅时演讲即将开始,观众理应已经就座等候。

【答案】speaking
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:我不会让你继续那样对你父母说话。那样不礼貌。分析句子可知,句子已有谓语“won’t have”,因此所填动词在短语“have you ________ (speak) to your parents”为非谓语动词作宾补,“speak”和“you”之间是逻辑上的主动关系。“have sb. do sth”是指让某人做某事,强调一次性的动作;“have sb. doing sth”是指让某人一直做某事,强调动作的持续性、连续性或者动作的反复性。结合语境可知,这里强调动作的持续性和反复性,应用现在分词作宾语补足语。故填speaking。
60. Much to my ________ (annoy), whenever I criticize her, she always comes up with an excuse. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】annoyance
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:让我非常恼火的是,每当我批评她时,她总是找借口。“(much) to one’s + 名词”是固定短语,意为“让某人……的是”,用annoyance作介词宾语。故填annoyance。

【答案】to have been given
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:据说她昨天收到了去那家大公司工作的邀请。“sb. is said to do sth.”是固定结构,表示“据说某人做某事”,用不定式作主语补足语; give(提供)与其逻辑主语之间She是被动关系,且这个动作发生在“is said”之前,所以要用不定式的完成被动式to have been given,表被动和完成。故填to have been given。
62. In many countries people let ________ fireworks to celebrate their traditional festival. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】off
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。句意:在许多国家,人们放烟花来庆祝他们的传统节日。根据“fireworks to celebrate their traditional festival”可知,人们放烟花来庆祝节日,用介词off构成动词短语let off,意为“燃放(烟花、鞭炮等)”,符合语境。故填off。
63. The car is running at_____________ average speed of 50 kilometres an hour. (用适当的词填空)

【答案】Considered
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:被认为是一位好老师,他深受学生们的尊敬。“(consider) a good teacher”作原因状语,consider(认为)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语he之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动;句首单词首字母大写。故填Considered。
66. Football ________ we know it today started in Great Britain, where the game was given new rules. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】as
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句。句意:我们今天所知道的足球起源于英国,在那里这项运动被赋予了新的规则。此处为连词引导的从句,从句中不缺成分,且句意完整,结合句意,此处为连词引导的方式状语从句,所以此处使用连词as意为“正如”。故填as。
67. Taichi, a Chinese Martial art involves ________ (do) very slow physical exercises to relax your mind and calm your body.(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】doing
【解析】

【答案】Having tried
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:虽然试了很多次,他还是不能克服困难。分析句子结构,逗号后面是一个完整的句子he still couldn’t overcome the difficulties,所以逗号前面应该是一个非谓语动词短语作状语。try这个动作发生在couldn’t overcome之前,且try与句子主语he之间是主动关系,所以要用现在分词的完成式。故填Having tried。
71. I love to photograph the ______ (rise) sun, so I force myself into the natural world by waking early each day. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】rising
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:我喜欢拍摄冉冉升起的太阳,所以我每天早起,强迫自己进入自然世界。空格处应该用非谓语动词作定语,修饰后面的名词sun,结合by waking early each day可知句中指“早起拍摄冉冉升起的太阳”,动词rise与名词sun之间是主动关系,且表示正在进行的动作,所以用现在分词rising作定语。故填rising。

【81题详解】
考查主谓一致与时态。句意:让这一场景别具一格的是头顶成片蔚蓝的光伏板,因为羊群的放牧场地是一座光伏产业园。陈述客观事实,用一般现在时;主语the sheep’s grazing grounds为复数,谓语动词用are。
【82题详解】
考查冠词。句意:塔拉滩光伏产业园占地609平方公里,这片平地太阳能资源丰富,年平均日照时长接近3000小时。固定搭配an average of...意为“平均……”,average以元音音素开头,故填an。
【83题详解】
考查连词。句意:园区内大量的光伏板不仅为偏远省份供电,还为周边土地起到遮阳和防风的作用。固定结构not only...but (also)...意为“不仅……而且……”,符合语境,故填but。
【84题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:平均风速降低了一半,该地区的植被覆盖率已达到80%。此处为with复合结构,wind speeds与reduce之间是被动关系,用过去分词reduced作宾语补足语。
【85题详解】
考查介词。句意:然而,这种植被的生长并非没有问题。根据后文提到的野草疯长的隐患可知,此处表示“并非没有问题”,without意为“没有”,符合语境。
【86题详解】
考查副词。句意:疯长的草会大幅降低光伏板的效率,并在干燥的冬季引发火灾。修饰动词lower,需用副词形式,dramatic的副词为dramatically。

【89题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:去年,600只羊被安排负责保护园区内的光伏板。时间状语last year表明用一般过去时;主语600 sheep与task之间是被动关系,故用一般过去时被动语态were tasked。
【90题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:这座光伏产业园为产业发展、传统做法和环境保护如何协同推进树立了典范。宾语从句中缺少方式状语,用how引导,表“如何、怎样”。

【答案】Dear Mark,
Thanks for sharing the disqualified photo case with me. In my view, disqualifying the AI-generated photo is both reasonable and necessary.
Photography, as an art form, embodies the photographer’s painstaking efforts in composition, lighting adjustment, and on-site shooting, capturing the essence of a real-world moment. AI-generated images, despite their visual appeal, lack the human touch, the emotional resonance, and the genuine creative process that traditional photography offers.
Allowing such works in a competition would undermine the hard work of sincere participants and distort the very nature of the contest. Thus, this decision upholds the fairness and integrity of the photography competition.
Best wishes,
Li Hua

A
The Maya (玛雅人) were good at math. They counted in groups of 20, not 10. They wrote numbers in columns going up. The bottom row was the “1s” column, the next row up was 20s, then 400s, and so on. For digits, they used a dot for 1, a line for 5, and a shell shape to show zero. Numbers 1 to 19 were written with a combination of lines and dots.
The number 1209 (three 400s + no 20s + nine 1s) would look like this:
A Maya village might keep a record of the pumpkins they harvested like this:
The Maya also kept three different calendars. The first divided the year into 18 months of 20 days each, plus a short month of 5 days. The short month was believed to be unlucky, a time when spirits walked.
The second calendar repeated every 260 days. This was used to plan celebrations and predict future. This calendar counted 13 months of 20 days each. Each date had its own set of 3 symbols (day, month, and year).
When talking about events long ago, they used a calendar called the “long count.” This covered about 5,125 years. Year 1 on this calendar was 3114 BCE on our calendar.
Each city and village had a calendar keeper, who was in charge of saying when to celebrate holidays and when to expect rain or plant crops. But farmers could probably also tell the time of the year from the sun and stars.
21. How many pumpkins did the Maya village harvest according to Figure 3?
A. 114. B. 409. C. 414. D. 439.
22. What could the “long count” calendar be used for?
A. Marking the unlucky days. B. Recording ancient events.
C. Dividing the year into 18 months. D. Predicting and making future plans.
23. Which learning project would this text be most suitable for?
A. Design a travel plan to the Maya ruins
B. Write a report on the Maya agriculture
C. Give a presentation on Maya artistic symbols
D. Make a poster of Maya scientific achievements
B
My mother always told me, “You should explore your own country before stepping out into the world.” However, it seems like a tough mission to travel all across its expansive surfaces. But luckily for me, Via Rail Canada offered youths between the ages of 18 and 25 the chance to ride the train across Canada for the month of July. The ticket was a bargain $150. My best friends Trevor, Joel and Jeremy and I immediately jumped at the opportunity and secured four tickets on the great Canadian railroad.
For a group of 20-year-olds, this was like the first flight of young birds from the nest. When we approached the train station in the morning, our 22-day adventure from Sudbury to Vancouver was to begin. Eyes baggy from lack of sleep, we jumped on board as if it was the train to Hogwarts in Harry Potter. Although the thought of three full days on those tracks covering close to 3, 000 kilometres crushed our spirits a little, what happened next caught us by surprise.
The three days on board turned into a summer camp on rails. At night, we would climb up the glass-domed train car, which gave us a scenic view of the starry night sky, untouched by the harmful light pollution. Before we knew it, the warm sun rays beating down on our faces woke us up for another day on the rails. To my surprise, a sea of golden grain fields dominated the landscape we were in the Canadian Prairies.
Another day slipped away and we set up for another night in the dome (圆顶状物). And this time we were greeted by night sky painted by a fantastic thunderstorm. Lightning was striking at an incredible rate. The spectacular and memorable light show left everyone in the glass bubble in complete disbelief.
Arriving in the Rocky Mountains was one of the most surreal experiences of my life. Before the train adventure, if I could have skipped the travel and arrived at the destination, I would have. That is no longer true. I’ve learned that the journey can be more enjoyable than the destination.
24. What has made the author’s train adventure across Canada a reality?
A. The encouragement given by his mother.
B. The discount ticket offered by Via Rail Canada.
C. The appeal of the scenic views in the country.
D. His great courage to challenge a tough mission.
25. What can we infer about the young people from Paragraph 2?
A. They left their parents for the first time in their life.
B. They never thought of having a train adventure.
C. They were hooked by the magic story of Harry Potter.
D. They were excited about the coming train journey.
26. What does “the glass bubble” in the fourth paragraph refer to?
A. The glass-domed train car. B. The sightseeing tour.
C. A state of excitement. D. A summer camp on the train.
27. What did the author learn from the train adventure across Canada?
A. The destination is what matters.
B. Adventurous journey attracts young people.
C. Enjoying a journey counts a lot.
D. The traveling experience is not real to him.
C
Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).
In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now — several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.
Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI—the technology companies and world leaders—so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.
AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.
28. What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. If read by someone poorly educated. B. If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned.
C. If written by someone less competent. D. If translated by someone unacademic.
29. What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text?
A. It is packed with complex codes. B. It adopts a down-to-earth writing style.
C. It provides step-by-step instructions. D. It is intended for AI professionals.
30. What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?
A. Observe existing regulations on it.
B. Reconsider expert opinions about it.
C. Make joint efforts to keep it under control.
D. Learn from prior experience to slow it down.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To recommend a book on AI. B. To give a brief account of AI history.
C. To clarify the definition of AI. D. To honor an outstanding AI expert.
D
The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant (空着的) office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., real estate developers see potential.
Cities across the U.S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other.
A project in D.C., which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion (转化) in the city to date. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior (外部) will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around $4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. “We would love to do more,” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.”
“It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand.
The decline of manufacturing (制造业) in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms.
32. What are cities like DC trying to do?
A. Repurpose empty offices. B. Tear down unused buildings.
C. Build housing in suburbs. D. Encourage working from home.
33. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3?
A. It requires structural changes. B. It targets low-income families.
C. It is funded by the government. D. It balances profit and social needs.
34. What does Tracy Loh think of the conversion?
A. Realistic. B. Not far-reaching.
C. Demanding. D. Short-sighted.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Cities Are Caught in Crisis B. Housing Demand Is Crying for More
C. Offices Are Becoming Homes D. Manufacturing Is Gaining a Second Life

Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind particularly when you look over social media sites and are faced with all the exciting things your friends are up to? ____36____
FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to our own. It appears as a deep sense of envy, and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-esteem(自尊).
While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature, social media seems to have added fuel to the fire.____37____Social media, with its built-in appeal, allows us to share only the best presentations of our life, while leaving out the more boring aspects. Although this could be characterized as dishonest, it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand. So how do we avoid being trapped into our own insecurities by social media?
Consider your own social media posts.____38____Well, so have others. And what they’ve left hidden is the fact that boredom, loneliness and unpleasant chores are an unavoidable part of everyone’s life, and you’re not the only one feeling left out.
____39____You may not be a regular at fancy parties or a climber of dizzying peaks, but you have your health, a place to live and real friends who appreciate your presence in their lives.
Learn to shake it off. We are all flooded daily with photos of other people’s perfections, but really, what does it matter?____40____And even if you are more easily affected than others by social media envy, all you need to do is to look around you and acknowledge that you are doing pretty well after all.
A. If so, you are not alone.
B. Value your friends in real life.
C. Learn to appreciate the positives.
D. Why does it have such a stimulating effect?
E. They are probably no more real than the funniest reality TV show.
F. The feeling that we are left out has long-term damaging psychological consequences.
G. Have you ever chosen photos that lead others to the rosiest conclusions about your life?

Seeing the audience already ____47____, I felt a wave of terror washing over me. This time, the breathing technique ____48____. When I finally began to speak, my voice shook uncontrollably. In that ____49____ moment, I made a sudden decision. I admitted my fear to the students. Immediately, their eyes filled with ____50____ instead of judgment.
For the next ten minutes, I shared my story, explaining that everyone has weaknesses that may never be fully ____51____.
