【原文】W: Hello Luke, tell me about your research. What inspired you?
M: I once noticed people queuing outside a shoe store to buy a new style of trainers. Then I came across an article in a magazine about the incredible number of shoes that are produced. That piece made me want to find out more.
W: So then you went to the event called Trainer Exchange?
M: Yeah. It’s for people to buy and sell trainers. At this event, everyone had to hand over ten pounds just to get in!
W: And you interviewed someone, didn’t you?
M: That’s right — I started with a couple called Meg and Tyler. They had a stand, piled high with hundreds of pairs of trainers, all styles and colors. But what drew me to them was the fact that they were a couple in their thirties, and almost everyone else are teenagers.
W: And I know so many shoes are thrown away. Why is that?
M: There are lots of reasons. Shoes can look worn or a new style comes out. But above all, it’s that there are so many cheap styles that start to fall apart in no time.

【答案】17. B 18. A 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【原文】M: Good morning. Well, as you know, the community gardens at Hadley Park aren’t in the best shape. And although the local government has a budget to deal with some of the problems, we do need volunteers for other tasks.
Um, first of all, don’t worry about any litter you see lying about — one of the local schools has offered to help out with that as part of their own environmental project. The priority for you will be to give us a hand with the new wooden fencing — it needs constructing along parts of the bicycle track. You’ve probably also noticed that the pathways that come from the bicycle track are quite narrow, but the government will widen them later in the year.
The other thing we’re doing is getting rid of some of the foreign species that are growing in the gardens and putting back some native plants and trees. So, you’ll be doing some digging for us and getting those into the ground. So, wear strong, waterproof boots. It’s quite muddy at the moment, and your own gloves would also be advisable.
Tools will be available and we’ll also provide food and drink.

When I meet Margaret Atwood, she’s wrapped up for what used to be a typical Toronto winter but now feels unusual in an age of global warming. The step back into climates past feels appropriate. I’m hoping we can dive into Atwood’s personal history, especially, as a science reporter, I hope to explore how science has shaped the life and worldview of Canada’s most celebrated writer.
The Ottawa-born daughter of an entomologist (昆虫学家) spent her early summers in a remote cabin in northwestern Quebec. For Atwood and her siblings, the setting was tailor-made for interactions with nature, enriched by the presence of science-minded adults including her father, who guided her to explore nature.
Life, in all its variety — fish, frogs, snakes, and other “creatures in damp and shadowy places” — was everywhere. Such encounters impressed upon her that humans are only one part of a vast biological community. But equally apparent were the risks the wilderness presents to humans when they overstep the boundaries. It’s a theme that emerges throughout Atwood’s fiction.
As a high-school student, Atwood’s exam marks in biology were higher than in English. Quoting Robert Frost, Atwood tells me her future seemed to point to science until “two roads diverged (分叉) in the yellow wood.”
Yet her scientific thinking never left her. In Alias Grace, for example, Atwood told a story consistent with historical evidence without casually discounting possibilities. In essence, it was doing what a scientist does when considering multiple working hypotheses (假定) based on incomplete data, leaving readers to answer the final question.
In Atwood’s 2022 essay collection Burning Questions, she argues that storytelling is part of humanity’s evolutionary legacy. The neural wiring that helped hunter-gatherers track animals also allows us to “organize events around characters.” But this Darwinian gift is double-edged: we tell stories not only to share knowledge, but also to mislead. What trips us up, she says, is that we believe things that match our understanding of the world.
In the end, Atwood believes that while humans tell many complicated stories, one larger narrative is written. She reminds us with quiet certainty: “Nature wins.”
24. Why does the author begin with Atwood’s clothing?
A. To create a vivid portrait of Atwood. B. To show Atwood dislikes mild winters.
C. To set a casual tone for the interview. D. To hint at Atwood’s writing.
25. What do we know about Atwood’s early life?
A. She pursued writing simply on impulse.
B. She learned awe and wonder from nature.
C. Danger in nature shaped her later writing style.
D. Her father went out his way to guide her into science.
26. What’s Paragraph 6 mainly about?
A. Personal views. B. Summary of an essay.
C. Illustration of a technique. D. Contrast of perspectives.
27. Which of the following would Atwood most likely agree with?
A. Science literacy makes a more imaginative writer.
B. Humans should be aware of their place in nature.
C. Humans are natural story-tellers but can be taken in by beliefs.
D. Writing and doing science both require evidence and answers.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述作家阿特伍德自幼亲近自然、理科成绩优异,科学思维影响其创作。她认为人类天生爱讲故事,但也易被固有观念蒙蔽,自然终究会胜出。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When I meet Margaret Atwood, she’s wrapped up for what used to be a typical Toronto winter but now feels unusual in an age of global warming.(当我见到玛格丽特·阿特伍德时,她身着厚厚的冬装,以抵御曾经典型的多伦多寒冬,如今在全球变暖时代已显得不寻常的低温)”可知,作者以阿特伍德的服饰作为开篇是为了生动地描绘出阿特伍德的形象。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Such encounters impressed upon her that humans are only one part of a vast biological community. But equally apparent were the risks the wilderness presents to humans when they overstep the boundaries. It’s a theme that emerges throughout Atwood’s fiction.(这样的经历让她深刻认识到,人类只是庞大生物群体中的一份子。但同样显而易见的是,当人类逾越界限时,荒野也会给它们带来风险。这一主题在阿特伍德的小说中贯穿始终)”可知,阿特伍德的早年生活从大自然中学会了敬畏与惊奇。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第六段“In Atwood’s 2022 essay collection Burning Questions, she argues that storytelling is part of humanity’s evolutionary legacy. The neural wiring that helped hunter-gatherers track animals also allows us to “organize events around characters.” But this Darwinian gift is double-edged: we tell stories not only to share knowledge, but also to mislead. What trips us up, she says, is that we believe things that match our understanding of the world.(在阿特伍德2022年的散文集《紧迫问题》中,她认为讲故事是人类进化历程中的一部分。帮助狩猎采集者追踪动物的神经连接机制,也使我们能够“围绕人物来组织事件”。但这种达尔文式的天赋是双刃剑:我们讲故事不仅是为了分享知识,也是为了误导他人。她说,让我们陷入困境的是,我们相信那些与我们对世界的理解相符合的东西)”可知,第六段主要讲的是个人观点。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“But this Darwinian gift is double-edged: we tell stories not only to share knowledge, but also to mislead. What trips us up, she says, is that we believe things that match our understanding of the world.(但这种达尔文式的天赋是双刃剑:我们讲故事不仅是为了分享知识,也是为了误导他人。她说,让我们陷入困境的是,我们相信那些与我们对世界的理解相符合的东西)”可知,阿特伍德认为人类天生就是讲故事的人,但有时也会被各种信念所蒙蔽。

When ChatGPT first appeared, it may have been hard to tell whether a piece of writing was produced by AI. But as a recent study shows, those who themselves use AI for writing or editing can recognize such content without fail.
AI writing tends to have a steady, even cadence (节奏). It leans heavily on certain terms like “delve,” “tapestry,” or “showcasing.” It overuses emphatic descriptors like “game-changing” or “transformative,” and relies on tidy triads (“this, this, and this”) and neat oppositions (“it’s not X, it’s Y”). Every paragraph resolves without friction. And above all, the writing betrays no sign of personality and no real sense of voice.
It’s tempting to assume these are merely temporary limitations that will soon be ironed out as models improve. But this isn’t likely, given the workings of language models that generate text by predicting the most probable next word in a sequence. They can be tuned to select words that are more or less probable, giving models different personalities. But they cannot escape their dependence on statistical prediction.
As AI writing is easy to spot, the way we use AI is to change. The question will no longer be whether the output looks polished enough, but whether someone would mind if the documents were labeled “drafted by AI.” In some cases, the answer may well be no: a meeting summary or short e-mail. But in many cases, the answer would clearly be yes.
We expect lawyers to write their own court briefs and consultants to write their own reports because we’re looking for something irreducible to an algorithm (算法). Most professional writing, which calls for weighing priorities, making trade-offs, and even emotional intelligence, does more than merely transmit information. The same applies to education. We assign essays to help students learn to write, but also to cope with ambiguity and complex ideas-to develop judgment, which AI can simulate but not acquire.
AI may be rapidly advancing and useful in many fields. The question we should be asking is no longer “Will anyone notice?” but “Would it matter-and why?”
28. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 and 3 about AI writing and its evolution?
A. Any of the common AI writing features can give it away.
B. The most noticeable flaw of AI writing is lack of character.
C. AI writing will likely exhibit common patterns in the future.
D. Different language models will give AI writing personality.
29. How does the text suggest we approach the use of AI writing?
A. Use it moderately. B. Exclude certain situations.
C. Apply it to stimulate judgement. D. Check if AI writing is up to the mark.
30. What do the underlined words “irreducible to” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Opposite to B. Corresponding to
C. Unable to compare to D. Impossible to be reduced to
31. What can be the suitable title for the passage?
A. AI Writing: How Far Can It reach? B. AI Writing? Yes — But With Your Voice
C. AI Writing: At The Cost Of Our Judgement D. No Shame In Coauthoring Writings with AI
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了AI写作有明显语言特征,且该问题难以彻底改善。文章建议区分场景使用 AI,简单文书可借助它,而需要独立思考、个人表达的写作仍应由人完成。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“They can be tuned to select words that are more or less probable, giving models different personalities. But they cannot escape their dependence on statistical prediction.(它们可以被调整以选择出现概率较高或较低的词汇,从而使模型具有不同的特点。但它们无法摆脱对统计预测的依赖)”可知,未来人工智能写作很可能会呈现出一些共性模式。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“As AI writing is easy to spot, the way we use AI is to change. The question will no longer be whether the output looks polished enough, but whether someone would mind if the documents were labeled “drafted by AI.” In some cases, the answer may well be no: a meeting summary or short e-mail. But in many cases, the answer would clearly be yes.(由于人工智能写作很容易被识破,我们使用人工智能的方式也需要做出改变。问题将不再在于输出内容是否足够精良,而在于如果将这些文档标注为“由人工智能起草”的情况,是否会有人介意。在某些情况下,答案很可能是不会的:比如会议纪要或简短的电子邮件。但在很多情况下,答案显然会是会的)”可知,文章建议人工智能写作排除某些场景。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Most professional writing, which calls for weighing priorities, making trade-offs, and even emotional intelligence, does more than merely transmit information. The same applies to education. We assign essays to help students learn to write, but also to cope with ambiguity and complex ideas-to develop judgment, which AI can simulate but not acquire.(大多数专业写作(它需要权衡优先事项、做出取舍,甚至需要具备情商)所传达的远不止是信息。教育也是如此。我们布置作文的目的是帮助学生学会写作,同时也让他们能够应对模糊不清和复杂的思想——培养判断力,这是人工智能可以模拟但无法获得的)”可知,专业写作具备算法无法复刻的特质,故划线词意思是“无法被简化为”。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“AI may be rapidly advancing and useful in many fields. The question we should be asking is no longer “Will anyone notice?” but “Would it matter-and why?”(人工智能或许正在迅速发展,并在诸多领域发挥着重要作用。我们应当思考的问题已不再是以“是否会有人注意到?”为焦点,而是转变为“这真的会有什么影响——以及为什么会这样产生影响?”)”结合文章主要说明了AI写作有明显语言特征,且该问题难以彻底改善。文章建议区分场景使用 AI,简单文书可借助它,而需要独立思考、个人表达的写作仍应由人完成。可知,A选项“人工智能写作:它能走多远?”最符合文章标题。

If you’re a morning person, you may be able to thank your Neanderthal ancestors for your easy ability to wake up. Some people today might be early risers because of DNA they take after Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, suggests new research.
When early humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia roughly 70,000 years ago, some of them mated with Neanderthals, who had already adapted to the colder, darker climates of the north. The ripple (涟漪) effects of that intermating still exist today: Modern humans of non-African ancestry (血统) have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Some of that DNA relates to sleep more specifically, the internal body clock known as the circadian rhythm (生物钟).
For the new study, researchers compared DNA from today’s humans and DNA from Neanderthal fossils (化石). In both groups, they found some of the same genetic variants involved with the circadian rhythm. And they found that modern humans who carry these variants also reported being early risers.
For Neanderthals, being “morning people” might not have been the real benefit of carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals’ DNA gave them faster, more flexible internal body clocks, which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight. This connection makes sense in the context of human history. When early humans moved north out of Africa, they would have experienced variable daylight hours — shorter days in the winter and longer days in the summer — for the first time. The Neanderthals’ circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans’ offspring (后代) adapt to this new environment.
Notably, the findings do not prove that Neanderthal genes are responsible for the sleep habits of all early risers. Lots of different factors beyond genetics can contribute, including social and environmental influences. The study also only included DNA from a database called the U.K. Biobank — so the findings may not necessarily apply to all modern humans. Next, the research team hopes to study other genetic databases to see if the same link holds true for people of other ancestries. If the findings do apply more broadly, they may one day be useful for improving sleep in the modern world, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glowing smartphones.
32. What is paragraph 2 intended to show concerning the new research?
A. Historical context. B. Additional proof.
C. Sample analysis. D. Studying process.
33. What does the new research focus on?
A. DNA’s dramatic changes. B. Neanderthals’ sleeping patterns.
C. Genes’ influence on early risers. D. Ancestors’ environmental adaptability.
34. What is the real benefit of carrying Neanderthal’s DNA for modern humans?
A. Getting up earlier. B. Having healthier daily routines.
C. Being more flexible in their work. D. Possessing a better circadian rhythm.
35. What can be inferred about the findings from the last paragraph?
A. They get proof from other studies. B. They are confirmed by early risers.
C. They suggest potential applications. D. They reveal factors in sleeping disorders.

【导语】文章介绍了一项新研究表明,部分现代早起者可能继承了尼安德特人的基因变异,这些基因帮助人类祖先适应了日照变化,赋予了更灵活的昼夜节律。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“When early humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia roughly 70,000 years ago, some of them mated with Neanderthals, who had already adapted to the colder, darker climates of the north. The ripple (涟漪) effects of that intermating still exist today (大约7万年前,当早期人类从非洲迁移到欧亚大陆时,其中一些人与已经适应了北方更寒冷、更黑暗气候的尼安德特人交配。这种杂交的连锁效应至今仍然存在)”可知,这段描述了尼安德特人与现代人类祖先交配的历史及其对当今人类基因的影响,旨在展示新研究的历史背景。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“For the new study, researchers compared DNA from today’s humans and DNA from Neanderthal fossils (化石). In both groups, they found some of the same genetic variants involved with the circadian rhythm. And they found that modern humans who carry these variants also reported being early risers. (在这项新研究中,研究人员比较了当今人类和尼安德特人化石的DNA。在这两个群体中,他们发现了一些相同的与昼夜节律相关的基因变异。他们还发现,携带这些变异的现代人类也报告自己是早起者。)”可知,这项新研究关注基因对早起者的影响。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“For Neanderthals, being “morning people” might not have been the real benefit of carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals’ DNA gave them faster, more flexible internal body clocks, which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight. (对尼安德特人来说,成为“早起者”可能并不是携带这些基因的真正好处。相反,科学家认为,尼安德特人的DNA赋予了他们更快、更灵活的生物钟,这使得他们能更容易地适应一年中日照时间的变化。)”可知,携带尼安德特人DNA对现代人类的真正益处是拥有更好的昼夜节律。

推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If the findings do apply more broadly, they may one day be useful for improving sleep in the modern world, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glowing smartphones. (如果这些发现确实更广泛地适用,它们可能有朝一日有助于改善现代世界的睡眠问题,因为现代人的昼夜节律常被夜班和发光的智能手机打乱。)”可知,若未来验证成功,这些发现可能应用于改善因现代生活方式导致的睡眠问题,暗示了潜在的应用前景。
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。
Every Saturday morning, I call my parents, who live in Beijing. Sometimes, we see each other on video. Sometimes, it’s just an audio call. I’ve been doing this for the past 18 years — from Canada, from France, from the United States. The geography has changed. The technology has evolved. ____36____ I want to know that they are okay — physically and emotionally. ____37____ We talk about the weather. The news. Blood pressure readings. What they ate that week. The exercises they are trying to keep up with. Families, relatives, neighbours. Small irritations. Big milestones. I tell them about my work, my travels, the books I’ve read. There is no expectation that the conversation needs to go anywhere.
I’ve learned to listen less to the words than to the tone. A pause held a second too long. A brightness that arrives a little too quickly. ____38____ They are about worry, about effort, about making sure we all can continue living our lives across the world with peace of mind.
For a long time, I told myself this ritual was enough. That presence might compensate for absence. I rarely asked whether it also allowed me to keep certain fears at bay.
However, this is not the version of care I once imagined. ____39____ Not being able to drive them where they need to go, or sit down to share a meal during festivals still breaks my heart. And still, this is the only version I can sustain — perhaps because it asks just enough of me to feel present, without asking me to confront everything that virtual presence can no longer do.
Over time, I’ve come to understand that love is not always expressed through closeness. Sometimes, it survives through repetition. Through small questions asked again and again. ____40____
A. They are aging now.
B. The reason has not.
C. These signals often say more than any direct question.
D. One day the ritual will end — whether I am ready or not.
E. It’s the guilt I carry every day that compensates for care.
F. It keeps a life connected — one ordinary conversation at a time.
G. The calls are often about nothing, and yet, they are about everything.
【答案】36. B 37. G 38. C 39. A 40. F
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述了作者通过每周与父母的例行通话,展现了距离虽远但通过重复的日常对话维系亲情与生命联结的深刻体悟。
【36题详解】
上文“I’ve been doing this for the past 18 years — from Canada, from France, from the United States. The geography has changed. The technology has evolved. (在过去的18年里,我一直在做这件事——从加拿大,从法国,从美国。所处的地理环境变了,技术也不断进步。)”提到地理环境和技术都在变化,下文“I want to know that they are okay — physically and emotionally. (我想知道他们是否一切都好——身体上和精神上都如此。)”点明自己与父母通话的目的,可见通话的原因始终未变。因此B项“The reason has not. (原因未变。)”符合语境,和上文构成转折,引出下文的说明。
【37题详解】
下文“We talk about the weather. The news. Blood pressure readings. What they ate that week. The exercises they are trying to keep up with. Families, relatives, neighbours. Small irritations. Big milestones. I tell them about my work, my travels, the books I’ve read. (我们谈论天气。新闻。血压读数。那一周他们吃了什么。他们正在努力坚持的锻炼项目。家人、亲戚、邻居。一些小的烦心事。重要的里程碑事件。我会跟他们讲述我的工作、我的旅行经历以及我读过的书籍。)”列举了通话中谈论的各类细碎话题,说明通话内容琐碎却涵盖生活全部。因此G项“The calls are often about nothing, and yet, they are about everything. (通话常常看似无关紧要,却又关乎一切。)”符合语境,统领下文的列举。
【38题详解】
上文“I’ve learned to listen less to the words than to the tone. A pause held a second too long. A brightness that arrives a little too quickly. (我逐渐学会更注重语气而非言语本身。一段停顿持续时间过长。那种来得有点过快的欢快。)”提到更关注语气,并举例过长的停顿、过于急促的欢快,这些都是隐含更多信息的信号。因此C项“These signals often say more than any direct question. (这些信号往往比任何直接提问传递更多信息。)”符合语境,承接上文的关注点。
【39题详解】
上文“However, this is not the version of care I once imagined. (然而,这并非我曾经所想象的那种关怀方式。)”指出不曾想象用通话关怀父母,下文“Not being able to drive them where they need to go, or sit down to share a meal during festivals still breaks my heart. (无法送他们去他们想去的地方,也无法在节日里一起坐下来享用美食,这仍然让我感到心痛。)”举例开车接送、节日共餐上的困难,暗示父母年迈带来的实际困境。因此A项“They are aging now. (他们如今正在老去。)”符合语境,解释这种困境的根源,承上启下。
【40题详解】
上文“Over time, I’ve come to understand that love is not always expressed through closeness. Sometimes, it survives through repetition. Through small questions asked again and again. (随着时间的推移,我逐渐明白,爱并不总是通过亲密接触来表达的。有时,它会通过重复来延续。通过一遍又一遍地提出那些细微的问题。)”指出日常坚持通话、反复谈论细微问题的意义,因此F项“It keeps a life connected — one ordinary conversation at a time. (它让生活保持联结——一次一个平凡的对话。)”符合语境,以“联结”升华与父母通话这件事的价值,承接上文。

【解析】
【导语】主要介绍世界互联网大会在景德镇举办主题活动,讲述景德镇瓷文化的悠久历史、传统制瓷工艺,以及数字技术为传统瓷业发展注入新活力的相关情况。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:1月15日,世界互联网大会在景德镇举办了主题为“走进数字瓷都”的活动,该活动成为宝贵的国际交流平台,为数字技术与陶瓷文化融合搭建了桥梁。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语on Jan 15可知,动作发生在过去,用一般过去时,organize的过去式为organized。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:景德镇因在国内外陶瓷行业占据重要地位素有“瓷都”之称,其古老的制瓷历史可追溯至一千七百多年前。此处为谓语动词,陈述客观事实,用一般现在时,先行词ancient porcelain production为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词为stretches。
【58题详解】
考查冠词。句意:数百年来,瓷器沿着丝绸之路海陆两路运往世界各地,成为促进东西方文化与商贸交流的一种媒介。medium为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,结合句意,此处表示“一种媒介”为泛指,且medium是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这种手工制作模式是景德镇陶瓷文化的核心,它所具备的个性化价值是无可替代的。此处引导定语从句,先行词为This handmade model,从句中缺少定语,表达所属关系,所以用关系代词whose。
【60题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这些工艺与专业技艺打造出的器物不仅具备实用功能,更是真正的艺术品。此处与后文名词性短语works of art对应,作表语,需用形容词,function对应的形容词形式为functional意为“实用的,功能的”。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:桃源谷推出一款人工智能陶艺彩绘辅助工具,使用者无需具备专业设计能力,普通人也能参与陶瓷设计,还能帮助创作者大幅缩短设计周期。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,tool与require之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词requiring。
【62题详解】
考查副词。句意:桃源谷推出一款人工智能陶艺彩绘辅助工具,使用者无需具备专业设计能力,普通人也能参与陶瓷设计,还能帮助创作者大幅缩短设计周期。此处修饰动词shorten,需用副词作状语,significant的副词形式为significantly意为“大大地,显著地”。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:它让千年陶瓷纹样突破传统局限,转变为人人都能创作和欣赏的文化资源。此处为固定搭配transform...from...into...意为“将……从……转变为……”,所以此处填介词into。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意:通过守护与传承陶瓷文化、以创新赋能瓷业、开展全球对话与互学互鉴,景德镇的转型为传统行业的发展指明了道路,孕育着具有前瞻性的未来。介词with后接名词作宾语,innovate对应的名词形式为innovation意为“创新”。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:通过守护与传承陶瓷文化、以创新赋能瓷业、开展全球对话与互学互鉴,景德镇的转型为传统行业的发展指明了道路,孕育着具有前瞻性的未来。此处用动词不定式作后置定语,修饰名词path,所以用to evolve。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Rain hammered against the streets as I stepped out of the grocery store, struggling to balance a heavy bag in one hand while fumbling to open my umbrella with the other. Then came a sharp crack.
My phone slipped from my coat pocket, crashing onto the pavement. My heart sank with it. I bent down and grabbed it at once, pressing the power button again and again, but the screen stayed completely black no matter what I tried.
A wave of panic hit me. My work appointments, unread emails, nonstop group chats, and even the TV series I had been following all suddenly felt trapped inside that lifeless screen. My whole routine seemed tied to the phone, so even a few quiet moments felt strangely uncomfortable.
Standing there in the pouring rain, for a moment, the noisy world around me seemed to fade away, leaving only the uncomfortable feeling that something important had suddenly collapsed.
I rushed straight to the largest phone repair shop nearby, hoping the damage could be fixed quickly. After examining the phone carefully, the young technician looked up, casting me a sympathetic look. “Tough one,” he muttered. “This model isn’t very common anymore. We’ll need to order the replacement screen.”
“How long?” I asked immediately.
“About a week, give or take.” Seeing the look on my face, he grinned. “Don’t worry,” he joked. “People survived before smartphones. Probably.”
“A week?” I repeated helplessly. On the way home, I kept reaching for my empty pocket, already imagining dull evenings and endless boredom.
That evening, while I sat absent-mindedly on the sofa, my eight-year-old daughter Emma came over with a box of old board games.
“Well,” she said with a smile, “I guess now you actually have time for me.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

I forced a smile and nodded, trying to take my mind off my broken phone.

Driving to pick up my phone a week later, I realized I was no longer eager to get it back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version:
I forced a smile and nodded, trying to take my mind off my broken phone. At first I played the game absent-mindedly, still thinking about my phone. Seeing Emma’s earnest look, I devoted myself to the game gradually. We laughed and cheered happily as we played. In the following days, I had plenty of spare time. I took walks outside, admired beautiful scenery and chatted warmly with neighbors. Free from endless phone messages, I truly savored the simple pleasure of daily life and found life could be so wonderful.
Driving to pick up my phone a week later, I realized I was no longer eager to get it back. Those days without a phone were relaxing and meaningful. After getting my phone back, numerous messages popped up, yet I stayed calm. Back home, Emma worried I would get glued to the screen again. I put the phone aside immediately and joined her to play games. From then on, I learned to balance digital life and family time, treasuring every moment spent with my daughter.

Well, as you note, the community gardens at daily park aren't in the best shape, and although the local government has a budget to deal with some of the problems, we do need volunteers for other tasks. Um first of all, don't worry about any litter you see lying about. One of the local schools has offered to help out with that as part of their own environmental project. The priority for you will be to give us a hand with the new wood and fencing IT needs constructing along parts of the bicycle track. You've probably also noticed that the pathways that come from the bicycle track are quite narrow, but the government will wide in them later in the year. The other thing we're doing is getting rid of some of the foreign species that are growing in the gardens and putting back some native plants and trees. So you'll be doing some digging for us and getting those into the ground. So wear strong waterproof foods. It's quite muddy at the moment, and your own gloves would also be advisable.

When I meet Margaret Atwood, she’s wrapped up for what used to be a typical Toronto winter but now feels unusual in an age of global warming. The step back into climates past feels appropriate. I’m hoping we can dive into Atwood’s personal history, especially, as a science reporter, I hope to explore how science has shaped the life and worldview of Canada’s most celebrated writer.
The Ottawa-born daughter of an entomologist (昆虫学家) spent her early summers in a remote cabin in northwestern Quebec. For Atwood and her siblings, the setting was tailor-made for interactions with nature, enriched by the presence of science-minded adults including her father, who guided her to explore nature.
Life, in all its variety — fish, frogs, snakes, and other “creatures in damp and shadowy places” — was everywhere. Such encounters impressed upon her that humans are only one part of a vast biological community. But equally apparent were the risks the wilderness presents to humans when they overstep the boundaries. It’s a theme that emerges throughout Atwood’s fiction.
As a high-school student, Atwood’s exam marks in biology were higher than in English. Quoting Robert Frost, Atwood tells me her future seemed to point to science until “two roads diverged (分叉) in the yellow wood.”
Yet her scientific thinking never left her. In Alias Grace, for example, Atwood told a story consistent with historical evidence without casually discounting possibilities. In essence, it was doing what a scientist does when considering multiple working hypotheses (假定) based on incomplete data, leaving readers to answer the final question.
In Atwood’s 2022 essay collection Burning Questions, she argues that storytelling is part of humanity’s evolutionary legacy. The neural wiring that helped hunter-gatherers track animals also allows us to “organize events around characters.” But this Darwinian gift is double-edged: we tell stories not only to share knowledge, but also to mislead. What trips us up, she says, is that we believe things that match our understanding of the world.
In the end, Atwood believes that while humans tell many complicated stories, one larger narrative is written. She reminds us with quiet certainty: “Nature wins.”
24. Why does the author begin with Atwood’s clothing?
A. To create a vivid portrait of Atwood. B. To show Atwood dislikes mild winters.
C. To set a casual tone for the interview. D. To hint at Atwood’s writing.
25. What do we know about Atwood’s early life?
A. She pursued writing simply on impulse.
B. She learned awe and wonder from nature.
C. Danger in nature shaped her later writing style.
D. Her father went out his way to guide her into science.
26. What’s Paragraph 6 mainly about?
A. Personal views. B. Summary of an essay.
C. Illustration of a technique. D. Contrast of perspectives.
27. Which of the following would Atwood most likely agree with?
A. Science literacy makes a more imaginative writer.
B. Humans should be aware of their place in nature.
C. Humans are natural story-tellers but can be taken in by beliefs.
D. Writing and doing science both require evidence and answers.
C
When ChatGPT first appeared, it may have been hard to tell whether a piece of writing was produced by AI. But as a recent study shows, those who themselves use AI for writing or editing can recognize such content without fail.
AI writing tends to have a steady, even cadence (节奏). It leans heavily on certain terms like “delve,” “tapestry,” or “showcasing.” It overuses emphatic descriptors like “game-changing” or “transformative,” and relies on tidy triads (“this, this, and this”) and neat oppositions (“it’s not X, it’s Y”). Every paragraph resolves without friction. And above all, the writing betrays no sign of personality and no real sense of voice.
It’s tempting to assume these are merely temporary limitations that will soon be ironed out as models improve. But this isn’t likely, given the workings of language models that generate text by predicting the most probable next word in a sequence. They can be tuned to select words that are more or less probable, giving models different personalities. But they cannot escape their dependence on statistical prediction.
As AI writing is easy to spot, the way we use AI is to change. The question will no longer be whether the output looks polished enough, but whether someone would mind if the documents were labeled “drafted by AI.” In some cases, the answer may well be no: a meeting summary or short e-mail. But in many cases, the answer would clearly be yes.
We expect lawyers to write their own court briefs and consultants to write their own reports because we’re looking for something irreducible to an algorithm (算法). Most professional writing, which calls for weighing priorities, making trade-offs, and even emotional intelligence, does more than merely transmit information. The same applies to education. We assign essays to help students learn to write, but also to cope with ambiguity and complex ideas-to develop judgment, which AI can simulate but not acquire.
AI may be rapidly advancing and useful in many fields. The question we should be asking is no longer “Will anyone notice?” but “Would it matter-and why?”
28. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 and 3 about AI writing and its evolution?
A. Any of the common AI writing features can give it away.
B. The most noticeable flaw of AI writing is lack of character.
C. AI writing will likely exhibit common patterns in the future.
D. Different language models will give AI writing personality.
29. How does the text suggest we approach the use of AI writing?
A. Use it moderately. B. Exclude certain situations.
C. Apply it to stimulate judgement. D. Check if AI writing is up to the mark.
30. What do the underlined words “irreducible to” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Opposite to B. Corresponding to
C. Unable to compare to D. Impossible to be reduced to
31. What can be the suitable title for the passage?
A. AI Writing: How Far Can It reach? B. AI Writing? Yes — But With Your Voice
C. AI Writing: At The Cost Of Our Judgement D. No Shame In Coauthoring Writings with AI
D
If you’re a morning person, you may be able to thank your Neanderthal ancestors for your easy ability to wake up. Some people today might be early risers because of DNA they take after Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, suggests new research.
When early humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia roughly 70,000 years ago, some of them mated with Neanderthals, who had already adapted to the colder, darker climates of the north. The ripple (涟漪) effects of that intermating still exist today: Modern humans of non-African ancestry (血统) have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Some of that DNA relates to sleep more specifically, the internal body clock known as the circadian rhythm (生物钟).
For the new study, researchers compared DNA from today’s humans and DNA from Neanderthal fossils (化石). In both groups, they found some of the same genetic variants involved with the circadian rhythm. And they found that modern humans who carry these variants also reported being early risers.
For Neanderthals, being “morning people” might not have been the real benefit of carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals’ DNA gave them faster, more flexible internal body clocks, which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight. This connection makes sense in the context of human history. When early humans moved north out of Africa, they would have experienced variable daylight hours — shorter days in the winter and longer days in the summer — for the first time. The Neanderthals’ circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans’ offspring (后代) adapt to this new environment.
Notably, the findings do not prove that Neanderthal genes are responsible for the sleep habits of all early risers. Lots of different factors beyond genetics can contribute, including social and environmental influences. The study also only included DNA from a database called the U.K. Biobank — so the findings may not necessarily apply to all modern humans. Next, the research team hopes to study other genetic databases to see if the same link holds true for people of other ancestries. If the findings do apply more broadly, they may one day be useful for improving sleep in the modern world, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glowing smartphones.
32. What is paragraph 2 intended to show concerning the new research?
A. Historical context. B. Additional proof.
C. Sample analysis. D. Studying process.
33. What does the new research focus on?
A. DNA’s dramatic changes. B. Neanderthals’ sleeping patterns.
C. Genes’ influence on early risers. D. Ancestors’ environmental adaptability.
34. What is the real benefit of carrying Neanderthal’s DNA for modern humans?
A. Getting up earlier. B. Having healthier daily routines.
C. Being more flexible in their work. D. Possessing a better circadian rhythm.
35. What can be inferred about the findings from the last paragraph?
A. They get proof from other studies. B. They are confirmed by early risers.
C. They suggest potential applications. D. They reveal factors in sleeping disorders.

Every Saturday morning, I call my parents, who live in Beijing. Sometimes, we see each other on video. Sometimes, it’s just an audio call. I’ve been doing this for the past 18 years — from Canada, from France, from the United States. The geography has changed. The technology has evolved. ____36____ I want to know that they are okay — physically and emotionally. ____37____ We talk about the weather. The news. Blood pressure readings. What they ate that week. The exercises they are trying to keep up with. Families, relatives, neighbours. Small irritations. Big milestones. I tell them about my work, my travels, the books I’ve read. There is no expectation that the conversation needs to go anywhere.
I’ve learned to listen less to the words than to the tone. A pause held a second too long. A brightness that arrives a little too quickly. ____38____ They are about worry, about effort, about making sure we all can continue living our lives across the world with peace of mind.
For a long time, I told myself this ritual was enough. That presence might compensate for absence. I rarely asked whether it also allowed me to keep certain fears at bay.
However, this is not the version of care I once imagined. ____39____ Not being able to drive them where they need to go, or sit down to share a meal during festivals still breaks my heart. And still, this is the only version I can sustain — perhaps because it asks just enough of me to feel present, without asking me to confront everything that virtual presence can no longer do.
Over time, I’ve come to understand that love is not always expressed through closeness. Sometimes, it survives through repetition. Through small questions asked again and again. ____40____
A. They are aging now.
B. The reason has not.
C. These signals often say more than any direct question.
D. One day the ritual will end — whether I am ready or not.
E. It’s the guilt I carry every day that compensates for care.
F. It keeps a life connected — one ordinary conversation at a time.
G. The calls are often about nothing, and yet, they are about everything.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Rain hammered against the streets as I stepped out of the grocery store, struggling to balance a heavy bag in one hand while fumbling to open my umbrella with the other. Then came a sharp crack.
My phone slipped from my coat pocket, crashing onto the pavement. My heart sank with it. I bent down and grabbed it at once, pressing the power button again and again, but the screen stayed completely black no matter what I tried.
A wave of panic hit me. My work appointments, unread emails, nonstop group chats, and even the TV series I had been following all suddenly felt trapped inside that lifeless screen. My whole routine seemed tied to the phone, so even a few quiet moments felt strangely uncomfortable.
Standing there in the pouring rain, for a moment, the noisy world around me seemed to fade away, leaving only the uncomfortable feeling that something important had suddenly collapsed.
I rushed straight to the largest phone repair shop nearby, hoping the damage could be fixed quickly. After examining the phone carefully, the young technician looked up, casting me a sympathetic look. “Tough one,” he muttered. “This model isn’t very common anymore. We’ll need to order the replacement screen.”
“How long?” I asked immediately.
“About a week, give or take.” Seeing the look on my face, he grinned. “Don’t worry,” he joked. “People survived before smartphones. Probably.”
“A week?” I repeated helplessly. On the way home, I kept reaching for my empty pocket, already imagining dull evenings and endless boredom.
That evening, while I sat absent-mindedly on the sofa, my eight-year-old daughter Emma came over with a box of old board games.
“Well,” she said with a smile, “I guess now you actually have time for me.”

I forced a smile and nodded, trying to take my mind off my broken phone.

Driving to pick up my phone a week later, I realized I was no longer eager to get it back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
