It compares a submitted assignment against a database of other papers and journals to detect similarity. However, Turnitin may be unsuitable for some submissions. You can use the workflow below to help determine if Turnitin is the right tool. ● What should I know? Step 1 Create your Turnitin assignment by selecting the plus icon on your module content and select External Apps from the menu. Step 2 Select Turnitin: Create assignment in Ultra from the list. Step 3 Enter a title, maximum points, the start date, due date, and feedback release date. • Settings for Assignment details Title Name the assignment something clear and descriptive. Instructions You can use the instructions area to provide information or directions that are specific to this assignment, for example, if you want students to use their student number as the name of the work when they upload it. Max Grade If you are using the standard grading system, set the max grade as “23”. If you are using Turnitin for formative work, or paper similarity checking, then you may wish to enter 0 as the max grade. Dates The start date is when students can start to submit work, and it will also automatically hide the assignment from student view until that date. The feedback release date should be three weeks after the due date, for work that is being formally marked. 1. What is Turnitin used for? A. Scanning assignments. B. Tracking academic progress. C. Checking text originality. D. Assessing class performance. 2. Which of the following can be submitted to Turnitin? A. A group project report. B. An individual essay in PDF format. C. A personal English video. D. A handwritten mathematics formula. 3. What can we learn about the assignment settings? A. Teachers can specify naming rules for files submitted. B. The max grade should always be fixed at 23 points. C. Feedback is given within a week after the deadline. D. Students can see the assignment before the start date. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一款用于检测文字提交内容相似度的评估工具。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Turnitin is an assessment tool to check similarity for text-based submissions. It compares a submitted assignment against a database of other papers and journals to detect similarity.(Turnitin 是一种用于检测文本类提交作业相似度的评估工具。它将提交的作业与其他论文和期刊的数据库进行比对，以检测相似度。)”可知，Turnitin可以用来检查文本的原创性。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据图片中的流程图内容“Will the submission be text-based in a typical text-based format(e.g. PDF, DOCX, etc)? Yes. (提交材料是否会采用典型的文本格式进行呈现（例如 PDF、DOCX 等）？)”及“1 student, 1 submission(一个学生，一次提交)”可知，一篇PDF格式的个人论文可以提交至 Turnitin。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Instructions部分的“You can use the instructions area to provide information or directions that are specific to this assignment, for example, if you want students to use their student number as the name of the work when they upload it.(您可以使用说明区域提供针对本次作业的具体信息或指示，例如，如果您希望学生在上传作业时使用学号作为文件名。)”可知，教师可以为提交的文件指定命名规则。 B At first glance, the two photos look like exact copies: a young cyclist beneath the glaciers near the Everest Base Camp, with his bike on his shoulder, face fixed in determination. The same spot, same light, same shadows. Yet they were taken 40 years apart. The first photo shows Perce Hughes, a cycling enthusiast who set out in 1984 at the age of 22 on an adventure that took him across Europe, through Asia and eventually to Sydney. In the second, William, Perce Hughes’ son, recreated his father’s pose almost four decades later. “I was raised on my dad’s stories,” William told Cyclists Circle, “and the adventure was always calling to me.” And so, in September 2024, also at the age of 22, he carried out a plan of pedaling from the English town of Chatsworth on a 25,000-kilometer, 19-month ride to Sydney. Finding the right bicycle wasn’t easy. William had searched online for the steel-framed touring bike his dad rode, and finally got it for £600. Then there was the task of determining where his dad’s photos were taken. He dived into records, mapping out every documented route. And for the trickier locations, he turned to AI for help. “It wasn’t always smooth, but I kept trying.” The result? A striking set of images — the same places, the same poses, sometimes even the same faces. One photo shows Perce Hughes with a young boy and his parents. William tracked down the location and, although the parents had passed away, he was able to meet and pose with the man the young boy had become. But the recreated moment that moved him the most was the Everest shot — bike on his back, glacier in the background. “Every time I stood on the exact spot where he would have stood, I felt a deeper connection to Dad. The only thing dividing us was time. I’ve heard stories from my dad my entire life, and now I’m there in the places where those stories took place. It’s very, very special.” 4. What do we know from the two photos? A. They record the growth of a man. B. They were shot at different times. C. They display the power of nature. D. They were taken by the same person. 5. Why did William come up with the plan? A. To challenge his own limits. B. To recall his childhood. C. To relive his father’s adventure. D. To photograph the journey. 6. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Images of different locations. B. Worries before the adventure. C. Memories preserved in photos. D. Preparations made for the journey. 7. What kind of person is William according to the text? A. Adventurous and self-critical. B. Persistent and family-oriented. C. Talented and technologically skilled. D. Reserved and independent. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述儿子威廉追随父亲的脚步，重走骑行路线、复刻老照片，延续父辈冒险旅程的暖心故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The same spot, same light, same shadows. Yet they were taken 40 years apart.(地点、光线、阴影全都一致，但两张照片的拍摄时间相隔四十年。)”可知，这两张照片拍摄于不同的时间。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的““I was raised on my dad’s stories,” William told Cyclists Circle, “and the adventure was always calling to me.” And so, in September 2024, also at the age of 22, he carried out a plan of pedaling from the English town of Chatsworth on a 25,000-kilometer, 19-month ride to Sydney. (“我是听着父亲的故事长大的，”威廉对Cyclists Circle说道，“冒险之旅总在召唤着我。”于是在2024年9月，同样22岁的他开启计划，从英国查茨沃斯小镇出发，历时19个月、骑行25000公里，一路前往悉尼。)”可知，威廉制定计划是为了重温父亲当年的冒险旅程。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Finding the right bicycle wasn’t easy. William had searched online for the steel-framed touring bike his dad rode, and finally got it for £600. Then there was the task of determining where his dad’s photos were taken. He dived into records, mapping out every documented route. And for the trickier locations, he turned to AI for help.(找到合适的自行车并不容易。威廉在网上搜寻父亲当年骑的钢架旅行自行车，最终花600英镑买下。之后他还要确定父亲照片的拍摄地点，查阅资料、绘制路线，难以辨认的地点还借助人工智能寻找。)”可知，本段主要介绍威廉为此次旅程所做的各项准备工作。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“It wasn’t always smooth, but I kept trying.(过程并非一帆风顺，但我始终没有放弃。)”以及威廉用心复刻父亲旅程、追寻过往足迹的行为可知，他坚持不懈且十分重视亲情。 C Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的)? This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique. The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred. One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物). The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.” 8. What does the new study focus on? A. The origin of human language. B. Sound-shape connections in chicks. C. Animals’ recognition of shapes. D. Brain-behavior relationships of birds. 9. In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds? A. Sound localization. B. Reaction speed. C. Exploration preference. D. Matching accuracy. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect? A. Its historical context. B. Its potential application. C. Its overlooked limitation. D. Its possible explanation. 11. What does Loconsole say about the effect? A. It originated in birds. B. It shows evolutionary tendency. C. It’s shared across species. D. It’s vital to language emergence. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了“bouba-kiki”效应，即人们会将“bouba”与圆润形状、“kiki”与尖锐形状联系起来；一项新研究发现雏鸡也存在这种音形关联现象，并提出该效应可能源于物体物理属性，同时说明这种能力并非人类独有。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.(但发表在《科学》杂志上的一项新研究有了意外发现：雏鸡也会做出同样的配对，这表明这种与人类语言的关联可能并非人类独有。)”以及第二段对雏鸡实验的描述可知，这项新研究关注的是雏鸡身上的声音与形状的关联。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When the chicks heard ‘bouba,’ 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard ‘kiki,’ the opposite occurred.(当雏鸡听到‘bouba’时，80%会先靠近圆润形状，平均花三分多钟探索它，而探索尖锐形状的时间平均不到一分钟。听到‘kiki’时则相反。)”可知，雏鸡对两种声音的不同反应体现在探索偏好上。故选C。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves.(一种长期存在的理论认为，这些关联是由你说每个单词时嘴巴的形状引起的，现在可以排除这种说法，因为小鸡尽管不会说话，但还是表现出了这种效果。相反，“bouba-kiki”效应可能源于物体本身的物理特性。)”可知，本段主要是对该效应产生的原因给出可能的解释。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”(洛康索莱说：“即使语言是人类独有的，这也并不意味着它源自一种人类独有的能力。”)”可知，她认为这种音形关联能力在不同物种间是共有的。故选C。 D Scientists just calculated for the first time exactly how many microplastic particles (微粒) are floating in Earth’s atmosphere. The number is almost unimaginable: 600 quadrillion (千万亿) — a 6 followed by 17 zeros, enough to make more than 1.5 billion plastic water bottles, about 300 for every person on the planet. And it’s all floating in the sky. The research, led by Utah State University’s Janice Brahney, combined data from 2,782 measurements across the globe with atmospheric movement models. “We’ve known for years that microplastics are everywhere — in the oceans, on mountains, even in rain,” Brahney said. “But the atmosphere was a big blind spot. Now we have a number, and it’s far beyond what we expected.” The researchers then traced these particles back to their origins, uncovering a surprising range of sources. Roads are the biggest contributor — the tiny pieces produced by wearing vehicle tires float in the air. Oceans also play a significant role: waves crashing onto shores can send microplastics from seawater into the air. Other sources include agricultural dust and particles released from burning waste. Yet the presence of 600 quadrillion particles in the sky is not merely a matter of numbers; it carries consequences that extend beyond the air itself. Once deposited, these particles can pollute soil and water, entering the food chain. In fact, every day, as much as millions of plastic bottles’ worth of microplastics settles onto Earth’s surface. More surprisingly, atmospheric microplastics may influence cloud formation and even accelerate ice melt by darkening the surface of snow and ice. However, scientists caution that much remains unknown. The health effects of breathing in atmospheric microplastics are still poorly understood, though early research suggests potential links to lung problems. How long these particles stay in the air and where they eventually land also require further investigation. Despite these uncertainties, the study sends a clear message: plastic pollution is not just an ocean problem. It has become an atmospheric issue on a global scale — one that, as Brahney put it, “We’re only beginning to understand.” 12. What is the primary contribution of the Utah State University study? A. Identifying the major sources of microplastic pollution. B. Comparing microplastic levels in different environments. C. Providing the first global estimate of atmospheric microplastics. D. Warning people about the health risks of breathing in microplastics. 13. What does the underlined word “deposited” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Concentrated. B. Trapped. C. Released. D. Dropped. 14. Which aspect of atmospheric microplastics may be the focus of future research? A. Its migration routes. B. Its monitoring methods. C. Its diverse sources. D. Its environmental impacts. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Warning: The Threat of Microplastics B. Road Traffic: An Unexpected Source of Pollution C. A Hidden Crisis: 600 Quadrillion Particles in the Sky D. Microplastic Particles: A Problem of Various Origins 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是科学家首次精确计算出地球大气中漂浮着约600千万亿个微塑料颗粒，这一数字远超预期。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。文章开头明确说“Scientists just calculated for the first time exactly how many microplastic particles (微粒) are floating in Earth’s atmosphere.(科学家们首次精确计算出地球大气中漂浮着多少微塑料颗粒。)”，第二段Brahney也说“But the atmosphere was a big blind spot. Now we have a number, and it’s far beyond what we expected.(但大气一直是一个巨大的盲区。现在我们有了一个数字，而且它远远超出了我们的预期。)”可知，研究的首要贡献是首次给出大气中微塑料的全球估算数值（600千万亿）。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“these particles can pollute soil and water, entering the food chain. In fact, every day, as much as millions of plastic bottles’ worth of microplastics settles onto Earth’s surface.(这些颗粒会污染土壤和水源，并进入食物链。事实上，每天都有数百万个塑料瓶大小的微塑料颗粒落在地球表面。)”可知，这些颗粒要从空中下降后才会污染土壤和水源，deposited的意思是“沉降”，和Dropped意思相近。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“How long these particles stay in the air and where they eventually land also require further investigation.(这些颗粒在空气中停留多长时间、最终落在哪里，也需要进一步研究。)”可知，未来的研究可能会将重点放在大气微塑料的迁移路径。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Scientists just calculated for the first time exactly how many microplastic particles (微粒) are floating in Earth’s atmosphere. The number is almost unimaginable: 600 quadrillion (千万亿) — a 6 followed by 17 zeros, enough to make more than 1.5 billion plastic water bottles, about 300 for every person on the planet. And it’s all floating in the sky.(科学家们首次精确计算出地球大气中漂浮着多少微塑料颗粒。这个数字几乎难以想象：600千万亿——即6后面跟着17个零，足以制造超过15亿个塑料水瓶，大约相当于地球上每个人300个。而这一切都漂浮在天空中。)”可知，本文主要讲的是科学家首次精确计算出地球大气中漂浮着约600千万亿个微塑料颗粒，这一数字远超预期，因此最好的题目是C选项“A Hidden Crisis: 600 Quadrillion Particles in the Sky(隐忧重重：天空中存在 600 万亿个微塑料颗粒)”。 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项。 Cloud storage is a flexible and convenient way to store data with complete peace of mind. ____16____ This means you can store all your digital things remotely, without taking up space on your computer. There are two options available: public cloud storage allows you to share server space with other users; private cloud storage is the ideal choice for companies who want to have their data stored in their own environment. ____17____ Once you have registered and set up your account, you simply save your files via the internet using your username and password. This ensures your data remains secure and inaccessible to anyone else. Should you choose, you can put certain permissions in place, which makes it easy to share your data with your colleagues or your family. When you sign up to cloud storage, you can choose the amount of space that you need. ____18____ You can store anything digital: all your files, videos and pictures. You will find this storage system very handy, regardless of whether you are saving family photographs or business documentation. Is it better than your computer or an external drive? The answer is a definite yes. Computers crash all the time. ____19____ External hard drives can still break, or fail. Here you also have the added risk of misplacing it or having it stolen. There are so many advantages to cloud computing, from the ability to access your data from wherever, whenever, to not needing expensive external storage devices. ____20____ A. Cloud storage is very easy to use. B. You will find cloud storage very cheap. C. It enables you to store your data on Internet-based servers. D. It requires professional training to manage data online. E. This is the most common cause of lost work and memories. F. You can start with a small amount and increase the storage size later on. G. One disadvantage, however, is that you need internet to access files. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. F 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了公有与私有两类云存储，它使用简便、存储空间可灵活调整。相比电脑和移动硬盘它更安全可靠，唯一不足是访问文件需要联网。 【16题详解】 前文“Cloud storage is a flexible and convenient way to store data with complete peace of mind.( 云存储是一种灵活且便捷的数据存储方式，能让你安心无忧地保存数据。)”引出云存储概念，后文“This means you can store all your digital things remotely, without taking up space on your computer.( 这意味着你可以将所有数字资料远程存储，而无需占用电脑空间。)”用“This means”解释“可以远程存储数据、不占用电脑空间”。空格处需填入云存储的核心工作原理，为后文解释做铺垫。C选项“It enables you to store your data on Internet-based servers.( 它让你能将数据存储在基于互联网的服务器上。)”后文“remotely”正是对“Internet-based servers”的同义解释。 【17题详解】 空格位于段首，是本段主题句。后文“Once you have registered and set up your account, you simply save your files via the internet using your username and password. This ensures your data remains secure and inaccessible to anyone else. Should you choose, you can put certain permissions in place, which makes it easy to share your data with your colleagues or your family.( 一旦完成注册并设置好账户，你只需通过互联网使用用户名和密码保存文件即可。这能确保你的数据安全且不被他人访问。如果你愿意，还可以设置某些权限，这样就能方便地与同事或家人分享你的数据。)”详细描述“注册账户→用账号密码保存文件→设置权限分享”的简单操作流程。A选项“Cloud storage is very easy to use.( 云存储非常容易使用。)”完美概括后文“操作简单、无需复杂步骤”的核心内容，作为段首总起句最为合适。 【18题详解】 前文“When you sign up to cloud storage, you can choose the amount of space that you need.( 在注册云存储服务时，你可以选择所需的空间大小。)”提到“注册时可以选择所需的存储空间大小”，后文“You can store anything digital: all your files, videos and pictures.( 你可以存储任何数字内容：所有的文件、视频和图片。)”说明可存储各类数字内容。空格处需延续“存储空间灵活性”的话题。F选项“You can start with a small amount and increase the storage size later on.( 你可以从小容量开始使用，之后再按需扩容。)”直接承接前文 “选择空间大小”，进一步说明云存储在容量上的灵活性。 【19题详解】 前文“Computers crash all the time.( 电脑经常会出现故障。)”指出“电脑经常崩溃”，后文“External hard drives can still break, or fail.( 但外置硬盘也可能损坏或失效。)”转而说外置硬盘的缺陷。空格处需说明“电脑崩溃”带来的后果，以论证云存储的优势。E选项“This is the most common cause of lost work and memories.( 这是工作文件和珍贵记忆丢失的最常见原因。)”代词“This”精准指代前文“Computers crash all the time”，自然引出电脑本地存储的弊端。 【20题详解】 前文“There are so many advantages to cloud computing, from the ability to access your data from wherever, whenever, to not needing expensive external storage devices.( 云计算有很多优点，比如可以随时随地访问您的数据，而且无需使用昂贵的外部存储设备。)”列举了云计算的多项优势（随时随地访问、无需昂贵外置设备），空格处作为段落结尾，可补充一个客观缺点，使论述更全面。G选项“One disadvantage, however, is that you need internet to access files.(然而，它的一个缺点是需要联网才能访问文件。)”用“however”转折，客观指出云存储的局限性。 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 For sixteen-year-old Leo, summer in the countryside felt like a punishment. He was used to the constant ____21____ of the city — traffic, horns and the buzz of his phone. Here, at his grandmother’s old farmhouse, the silence pressed down on him like a heavy blanket. “Too quiet,” he ____22____, but his grandmother simply smiled. “Listen,” she said. One afternoon, Leo ____23____ the dusty attic. Among forgotten trunks, he found a wooden box containing a delicate pocket ____24____. Its face was cracked, ____25____ the hands were still in good condition. He ____26____ it, and the soft ticking filled the stillness. For a moment, he forgot his boredom, watching dust particles (尘粒) ____27____ in the golden light. That evening, his grandmother ____28____ him to the old oak tree and asked him to close his eyes. At first, he heard nothing but his own breathing. Then ____29____, the world began to whisper — the wind through the cornfields, a cricket’s rhythmic chirp, the distant bark of a fox. Beneath it lay the ____30____, steady pulse of the watch in his pocket. “Noise shouts,” his grandmother said. “But silence ____31____. You have to be still enough to let it in.” Later that week, Leo’s phone ____32____. Instead of searching for a charger, he helped his grandmother repair a broken fence. Working in companionable quiet, he realized silence wasn’t ____33____ — it was full of things he’d been too busy to notice. His worries — the failed exam, the arguments with friends — seemed ____34____ now. He had found a larger space in which to hold them. Silence, he understood at last, is not the absence of noise. It is the ____35____ of your own voice. 21. A. echo B. noise C. roar D. melody 22. A. claimed B. admitted C. complained D. joked 23.

Instead, she typed a question that had been pressing on her heart for weeks: ‌“Why won’t Grandma eat properly?” It was early January. After finishing her exams, Mira had returned to her hometown to spend some quiet days with her grandmother. The old woman had once been a legend — she’d worked as a tailor (裁缝), made dresses for half the village and saved enough to open her own shop. Time had taken its toll. Now her eyesight had dimmed, her fingers trembled, but she was still that legendary woman who lived on her own terms. Whenever someone ladled (用勺子舀) soup into her bowl, she would push it away, murmuring, ‌“I don’t need it. Save it for yourselves.” Every meal played out the same way. It broke Mira’s heart. Actually, the family was doing well. There was plenty of food, plenty of love. So why did eating — a simple, everyday act — seem like a burden to her? She tried reasoning with her, but the more she talked, the more Grandma resisted. Until one day, in a moment of frustration, she blurted out, ‌“Grandma, you make me so sad when you act like this.” The old woman froze, then sighed. ‌“I’m over seventy. I won’t be around much longer. It doesn’t matter how I eat.” The words cut deep. Mira thought about taking her to a psychologist (心理医生) but knew she’d refuse. So she turned to an old companion, the AI. The response came quickly. Grandma was refusing food because she felt like she no longer had a place in the family. The AI offered suggestions: Help her feel secure and needed. 注意： (1)续写词数应为 150 左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: With AI’s assistance, Mira began her plan. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As meals became less of a battle, Mira decided to relight the sparkle in grandmother’s eyes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： With AI’s assistance, Mira began her plan. First, she worked with AI to create customized recipes for Grandma, accounting for her age-related digestive issues and past preferences to make nutritious, easy-to-swallow dishes. Meanwhile, following AI’s suggestion to make Grandma feel valued, the family started to shower her with more attention — sitting with her at meals, chatting warmly, expressing appreciation and encouraging her to eat. As days passed, Grandma began to sense the genuine care and importance the family placed on her. Gradually, the once-stubborn resistance to food faded away. As meals became less of a battle, Mira decided to relight the sparkle in grandmother’s eyes. “It’s time to make her feel needed,” Mira thought, appealing to Grandma’s pride as the village’s best tailor and asking her to make a special outfit for a school event. Grandma’s eyes lit up immediately, a spark of the old force she once had returning. Mira and Grandma spent hours crafting together — Grandma patiently guiding her through measuring, cutting, and sewing, sharing stories of her tailor days. This interaction restored Grandma’s self-worth, strengthened their bond, and gave her a new lease on life. Her appetite improved with renewed energy from skill recognition, leaving Mira amazed at AI’s role as an outstanding virtual psychologist. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Mira的奶奶拒绝吃饭，Mira求助AI后得知奶奶觉得自己在家庭中没有了位置，于是Mira开始实施计划。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在人工智能的帮助下，米拉开始了她的计划。”可知，第一段可描写米拉根据AI的建议为奶奶制定食谱，家人也给予奶奶更多关注，奶奶逐渐改变了态度。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着吃饭不再是一场斗争，米拉决定重新点燃祖母眼中的光芒。”可知，第二段可描写米拉利用奶奶的裁缝技能，让奶奶为学校活动制作特殊服装，奶奶的自我价值感得到恢复，与米拉的关系也更加亲密。 2. 续写线索：米拉制定食谱——家人给予关注——奶奶改变态度——米拉让奶奶制作服装——奶奶自我价值感恢复——关系更加亲密 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①表达：express/show/convey ②恢复：restore/recover/renew ③加强：strengthen/reinforce/enhance 情绪类 ①耐心地：patiently/with patience ②惊讶的：amazed/openmouthed 【点睛】[高分句型1] As days passed, Grandma began to sense the genuine care and importance the family placed on her.

B At first glance, the two photos look like exact copies: a young cyclist beneath the glaciers near the Everest Base Camp, with his bike on his shoulder, face fixed in determination. The same spot, same light, same shadows. Yet they were taken 40 years apart. The first photo shows Perce Hughes, a cycling enthusiast who set out in 1984 at the age of 22 on an adventure that took him across Europe, through Asia and eventually to Sydney. In the second, William, Perce Hughes’ son, recreated his father’s pose almost four decades later. “I was raised on my dad’s stories,” William told Cyclists Circle, “and the adventure was always calling to me.” And so, in September 2024, also at the age of 22, he carried out a plan of pedaling from the English town of Chatsworth on a 25,000-kilometer, 19-month ride to Sydney. Finding the right bicycle wasn’t easy. William had searched online for the steel-framed touring bike his dad rode, and finally got it for £600. Then there was the task of determining where his dad’s photos were taken. He dived into records, mapping out every documented route. And for the trickier locations, he turned to AI for help. “It wasn’t always smooth, but I kept trying.” The result? A striking set of images — the same places, the same poses, sometimes even the same faces. One photo shows Perce Hughes with a young boy and his parents. William tracked down the location and, although the parents had passed away, he was able to meet and pose with the man the young boy had become. But the recreated moment that moved him the most was the Everest shot — bike on his back, glacier in the background. “Every time I stood on the exact spot where he would have stood, I felt a deeper connection to Dad. The only thing dividing us was time. I’ve heard stories from my dad my entire life, and now I’m there in the places where those stories took place. It’s very, very special.” 4. What do we know from the two photos? A. They record the growth of a man. B. They were shot at different times. C. They display the power of nature. D. They were taken by the same person. 5. Why did William come up with the plan? A. To challenge his own limits. B. To recall his childhood. C. To relive his father’s adventure. D. To photograph the journey. 6. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Images of different locations. B. Worries before the adventure. C. Memories preserved in photos. D. Preparations made for the journey. 7. What kind of person is William according to the text? A. Adventurous and self-critical. B. Persistent and family-oriented. C. Talented and technologically skilled. D. Reserved and independent. C Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的)? This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique. The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred. One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物). The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.” 8. What does the new study focus on? A. The origin of human language. B. Sound-shape connections in chicks. C. Animals’ recognition of shapes. D. Brain-behavior relationships of birds. 9. In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds? A. Sound localization. B. Reaction speed. C. Exploration preference. D. Matching accuracy. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect? A. Its historical context. B. Its potential application. C. Its overlooked limitation. D. Its possible explanation. 11. What does Loconsole say about the effect? A. It originated in birds. B. It shows evolutionary tendency. C. It’s shared across species. D. It’s vital to language emergence. D Scientists just calculated for the first time exactly how many microplastic particles (微粒) are floating in Earth’s atmosphere. The number is almost unimaginable: 600 quadrillion (千万亿) — a 6 followed by 17 zeros, enough to make more than 1.5 billion plastic water bottles, about 300 for every person on the planet. And it’s all floating in the sky. The research, led by Utah State University’s Janice Brahney, combined data from 2,782 measurements across the globe with atmospheric movement models. “We’ve known for years that microplastics are everywhere — in the oceans, on mountains, even in rain,” Brahney said. “But the atmosphere was a big blind spot. Now we have a number, and it’s far beyond what we expected.” The researchers then traced these particles back to their origins, uncovering a surprising range of sources. Roads are the biggest contributor — the tiny pieces produced by wearing vehicle tires float in the air. Oceans also play a significant role: waves crashing onto shores can send microplastics from seawater into the air. Other sources include agricultural dust and particles released from burning waste. Yet the presence of 600 quadrillion particles in the sky is not merely a matter of numbers; it carries consequences that extend beyond the air itself. Once deposited, these particles can pollute soil and water, entering the food chain. In fact, every day, as much as millions of plastic bottles’ worth of microplastics settles onto Earth’s surface. More surprisingly, atmospheric microplastics may influence cloud formation and even accelerate ice melt by darkening the surface of snow and ice. However, scientists caution that much remains unknown. The health effects of breathing in atmospheric microplastics are still poorly understood, though early research suggests potential links to lung problems.

Instead, she typed a question that had been pressing on her heart for weeks: ‌“Why won’t Grandma eat properly?” It was early January. After finishing her exams, Mira had returned to her hometown to spend some quiet days with her grandmother. The old woman had once been a legend — she’d worked as a tailor (裁缝), made dresses for half the village and saved enough to open her own shop. Time had taken its toll. Now her eyesight had dimmed, her fingers trembled, but she was still that legendary woman who lived on her own terms. Whenever someone ladled (用勺子舀) soup into her bowl, she would push it away, murmuring, ‌“I don’t need it. Save it for yourselves.” Every meal played out the same way. It broke Mira’s heart. Actually, the family was doing well. There was plenty of food, plenty of love. So why did eating — a simple, everyday act — seem like a burden to her? She tried reasoning with her, but the more she talked, the more Grandma resisted. Until one day, in a moment of frustration, she blurted out, ‌“Grandma, you make me so sad when you act like this.” The old woman froze, then sighed. ‌“I’m over seventy. I won’t be around much longer. It doesn’t matter how I eat.” The words cut deep. Mira thought about taking her to a psychologist (心理医生) but knew she’d refuse. So she turned to an old companion, the AI. The response came quickly. Grandma was refusing food because she felt like she no longer had a place in the family. The AI offered suggestions: Help her feel secure and needed. 注意： (1)续写词数应为 150 左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: With AI’s assistance, Mira began her plan. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As meals became less of a battle, Mira decided to relight the sparkle in grandmother’s eyes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
