Li Min, a top finance (金融) student who graduated from Peking University, made an unusual career choice that surpassed expectations. Instead of seeking a finance career, she exchanged her business suit for the clothing of a farmer and went back to her hometown.
Her decision was met with doubt, especially from her family who questioned why she would leave the promise of a high-paid career for the uncertainties of farming. In fact, Li Min desired to make agricultural practices modern as she saw the backwardness of traditional farming during the visits to her hometown.
Upon returning to her village, Li Min also encountered disbelief from classmates and villagers alike. However, her promise to combine modern technology and new practices with agriculture soon proved transformative, allowing farmers to monitor crop growth through field sensors and smartphones, and make data-based decisions to improve productions and quality.
She started with on-site sales of fruits and vegetables. Recognizing the instability (不稳定性) in the supply chain and the need for a more dependable system, Li Min developed the “Lai Cun Wang” rural (乡村的) e-business platform in 2015 to increase sales.
By 2023, Li Min’s efforts had reached more areas, establishing over 200 rural service stations and creating jobs for thousands of families. Her contribution to rural development and poverty fighting earned her several awards, including the Henan Innovation Award.
Li Min’s story is a powerful reminder that professional success is defined by the strong love for work and devotion one brings to it. Her journey from a finance scholar to an agricultural leader shows how her efforts can bring change, inspire communities and contribute to sustainable development in agriculture. It encourages more students to seek their dreams with strong belief.
24.What made Li Min choose to return to her hometown after graduation?
A.Her determination to make a difference to it. B.Her unsuccessful job-hunting experiences.
C.A sudden change in her financial conditions. D.Pressure from her family to continue farming.
25.How did Li Min solve the problem in the supply chain?
A.Through government funds. B.Through mass production.
C.Through experienced farmers. D.Through Internet technology.
26.Which of the following can best describe Li Min?
A.Generous but hesitant. B.Big-headed and energetic.
C.Far-sighted and creative. D.Traditional but independent.
27.What can we learn from the text?
A.Passion counts in our professions. B.Success comes from full preparations.
C.Taking others’ advice is key for job choices. D.Career achievements depend on family support.

Poet and Harvard Professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow famously said, “Music is the universal language of mankind.” A new Harvard study suggests he may have been right.
The study conducted by a research team found that people around the world could identify lullabies (摇篮曲), dance songs, and comforting songs — regardless of the songs’ cultural origin — after hearing just a 14-second clip (片段). The finding suggests that not only is music deeply rooted in human nature, but that some types of songs break cultural boundaries.
The findings are based on a wide-reaching experiment in which 750 online participants in 60 countries listened to brief clips of songs collected from nearly 90 small societies around the world, including hunter-gatherers and some special farmers. Participants then answered six questions, rating each clip according to whether they believed the song was used for dancing, calming a baby, treating illness, or expressing love. Two additional uses — mourning (哀悼) the dead and telling a story — were included as controls.
The data showed that despite participants’ unfamiliarity with the cultures, the random sampling of each song, and the short duration of the samples, people were able to reliably infer the songs’ functions, and that their ratings were consistent across the world.
The findings ran counter to expert expectations. The team had also asked professionals, including performers, composers, psychologists, and scientists about whether they believed people would be able to identify the song types. Their answer was no. And not only that, but they predicted that people’s responses will be inconsistent with one another. “That’s not what we found,” the researchers said.
The researchers also wanted to know whether listeners were recognizing certain non-musical characteristics of the songs. To test that, the team conducted a second study. This time, they asked listeners about a number of contextual and musical features, ranging from the gender of the singers to the rhythm of the song.
When data from the two studies were combined, the results showed that songs of the same function shared similar characteristics — lullabies, for example, tended to be slower and simpler than dance music — suggesting that something about musical characteristics crosses cultural boundaries.
28.What did the participants do in the first study?
A.They distinguished functions of the songs.
B.They identified the cultural origins of the songs.
C.They recognized the non-musical characteristics of the songs.
D.They sorted the songs according to the gender of the singers.
29.What does the underlined part “ran counter to” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Were equal to. B.Were similar to.
C.Were superior to. D.Were opposite to.
30.Why did the researchers carry out the second study?
A.To test the musical knowledge of a wider audience.
B.To collect more diverse songs from various cultures.
C.To confirm the surprising results from the first one.
D.To explore the underlying reasons behind the findings.
31.What can we learn from the two studies?
A.Listeners recognize music by its rhythm. B.Something about music might be universal.
C.Dance music is usually slower and simpler. D.Cultural similarities lead to similar musical features.

The rapid spread of artificial intelligence has people wondering: who’s most likely to use AI in their daily lives? Many think it’s the tech-savvy – those who understand how AI works — who are most eager to adopt it.
Surprisingly, a new research, published in the Journal of Marketing, finds the opposite. People with less knowledge about AI are actually more open to using the technology. We call this difference in adoption the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link (低识字率 — 高接受度). This link exists across different groups, backgrounds and even countries. For instance, our analysis of data from market research company Ipsos across 27 countries shows that people in nations with lower average AI literacy are more receptive towards AI adoption than those in nations with higher literacy.
The reason behind this link lies in how AI now performs tasks we once thought only humans could do. When AI creates a piece of art, writes a heartfelt response or plays a musical instrument, it can feel almost amazing — like it’s crossing into human land. Of course, AI doesn’t actually have human qualities. A chatbot might create an empathetic (共情的) response, but it doesn’t feel empathy (共鸣). People with more technical knowledge about AI understand this, making the technology less mysterious. On the other hand, those with less understanding may see AI as magical. We suggest this sense of magic makes them more open to using AI tools.
The lower literacy-higher receptivity link is strongest for using AI tools in areas where people are more likely to ask for emotional support or consulting. When it comes to tasks that don’t need human-like qualities, such as analysing test results, the pattern changes. To make the most of AI, businesses, educators and policymakers need to make this balance. And ideally, this will happen with respect that inspires many people to use this new technology.
32.Who are more likely to use AI in daily lives?
A.People who are tech-savvy. B.People in developed countries.
C.People with higher average AI literacy. D.People with less knowledge about AI.
33.How does the author prove the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link?
A.By giving examples of AI applications.
B.By doing experiments on the use of AI.
C.By analyzing data from a market research company.
D.By interviewing people with different AI knowledge levels.
34.Why might people with low literacy about AI find it “magical”?
A.They believe AI has human emotions.
B.They do not understand how AI works.
C.They have seen AI perform tasks better than humans.
D.They are more likely to use AI for emotional support.
35.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A.AI in Life: Who Uses It? B.AI Use: The Hidden Magic
C.AI Tools: Tech-savvy’s Choice D.AI’s Future: A Threat or An Opportunity?

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。
A grateful attitude brings real benefits to our mental health. However, the busyness of life, financial worries, and work stress constantly compete for our attention. As humans, we tend to focus on problems rather than blessings (幸事). Fortunately, there are practical habits that can help us develop a genuine sense of thankfulness.
36 Begin your day with spoken thanks or prayer. This small act, repeated daily, can gradually reshape how we experience everything that follows. Over time, positivity becomes a natural response rather than a forced effort.
The word “thanks” carries more power than most people realize. 37 When you express appreciation to others — whether a coworker, a doctor, or a store clerk — you strengthen your relationships while also improving your own emotional state.
Keeping a gratitude (感恩) journal is another effective strategy. Write down the people, experiences, and small moments you feel thankful for each day. 38 The act of writing itself forces you to slow down and truly notice the good in your life.
Reading stories of those who have overcome severe difficulties can also greatly change your view. 39 Learning how others found strength through gratitude often inspires us to find our own.
A wise person once declared, “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” 40 Developing gratitude takes continuous effort, but the rewards are well worth it.
A.It can lift both the giver and the receiver.
B.A grateful person faces fewer challenges.
C.Over time, you can look back with appreciation.
D.Such stories remind us of life’s hidden blessings.
E.Therefore, we should make gratitude a daily habit.
F.Each morning, we face a choice about our mindset.
G.Looking back on the past brings long-term happiness.

To 52 her music to foreigners better, Peng sometimes chooses to play famous Western melodies. “I add the musical 53 of the guzheng to them,” she explains. Many passers-by would stop to watch and listen, and even take out phones to 54 her performance.
She hopes such efforts can help the world understand and 55 Chinese culture.

Yueju Opera, a major school of traditional Chinese theater that traces its origins to Shengzhou County in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, shares with Peking Opera the unique form of story-telling that integrates classical singing, dancing, and acting 56 a unified artistic expression. However, this classical art form, like many others, hasn’t faced much interest from young people 57 the groundbreaking New Dragon Gate Inn breaks the spell.
Different from previous Yueju Opera performances, the novelty of New Dragon Gate Inn is reflected in several aspects. First, it features an immersive experience, 58 the theater is turned into an inn filled with secret passages, 59 (combine) the stage and the audience seats.
In addition to its bold and innovative adaptation, New Dragon Gate Inn has pioneered a marketing strategy — 60 that uses short video platforms to offer barrier-free online viewing, effectively engaging younger audiences. Yet 61 truly defines its success is not just its modern appeal, but the beauty of traditional Chinese culture and the continuous devotion of its guardians. They have bridged the old and the new, proving that innovation booms when 62 (root) in heritage, and that traditions, when shared creatively, can find a lively new life.
The success of New Dragon Gate Inn signals a 63 (promise) future for other traditional Chinese art forms, showing how innovation — when grounded in respect for cultural heritage — can 64 (dramatic) expand artistic possibilities. As Chen Lijun, the production’s lead performer, says, “Opera 65 (carve) in the DNA of the Chinese people. After a small stone is cast, the DNA awakens.”

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。
One summer day my father sent me to buy wire for our farm. At 16, I liked nothing better than driving our old truck, feeling the wind through the open window and the roar of the engine. But this time I was not happy. My father had told me I’d have to ask for credit at the store.
Sixteen is a prideful age, when a young man wants respect, not charity. It was 1976, and the ugly shadow of racial discrimination was still a fact of life in our small town. I’d seen my friends ask for credit and then stand, head down, while the store owner questioned whether they were “good for it.” I knew black youths just like me who were watched like thieves by the store clerk each time they went into a grocery. The memory of their embarrassed faces burned in my mind.
My family was honest. We paid our debts. My parents worked from dawn to dusk, and we never took anything that wasn’t ours. But before harvest, cash was always short. The crops were still green in the fields, and every dollar had to stretch. Would the store owner trust us? My heart pounded as I parked the truck in front of Davis’s store, dust rising around the wheels.
At Davis’s store, Buck Davis stood behind the cash desk, talking to a farmer I didn’t know. The air smelled of leather and feed. I nodded as I passed him on my way to the hardware shelves, my hands slightly sweaty. I picked up the bunch of wire and added a few other supplies we needed.
When I brought my purchases to the cash desk, I cleared my throat and said carefully, “I need to put this on credit.” The words felt heavy on my tongue.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The farmer gave me an amused, distrustful look but Buck’s face didn’t change.

That day I discovered the good name my parents had earned.

W: Should we be giving people what they want to watch? Or should we be, you know, trying to educate them?
M: Well, TV is there for entertainment. If you want an education, you go to university or college or something, don’t you?
W: No. I really don’t think so.

Less Crowds, More Beauty
The Grand Canyon welcomed 4.9 million visitors in 2024. But there is somewhere equally breathtaking with far fewer crowds. It’s called Coconino National Forest, stretching across nearly 2 million acres between Phoenix and Flagstaff.How to Get There
Getting there is easy. Fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and drive 1.5 hours north via Interstate 17. Or fly to Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, served by American Airlines with daily flights from Phoenix, Dallas, and Los Angeles. From there, the forest is just a 20-minute drive.About the Forest
Named after the Cohonina people, the forest was designated a national forest by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908. Today, its three districts protect 10 wilderness areas home to elk, mule deer, mountain lions, and bobcats.Hiking Information

Li Min, a top finance (金融) student who graduated from Peking University, made an unusual career choice that surpassed expectations. Instead of seeking a finance career, she exchanged her business suit for the clothing of a farmer and went back to her hometown.
Her decision was met with doubt, especially from her family who questioned why she would leave the promise of a high-paid career for the uncertainties of farming. In fact, Li Min desired to make agricultural practices modern as she saw the backwardness of traditional farming during the visits to her hometown.
Upon returning to her village, Li Min also encountered disbelief from classmates and villagers alike. However, her promise to combine modern technology and new practices with agriculture soon proved transformative, allowing farmers to monitor crop growth through field sensors and smartphones, and make data-based decisions to improve productions and quality.
She started with on-site sales of fruits and vegetables. Recognizing the instability (不稳定性) in the supply chain and the need for a more dependable system, Li Min developed the “Lai Cun Wang” rural (乡村的) e-business platform in 2015 to increase sales.
By 2023, Li Min’s efforts had reached more areas, establishing over 200 rural service stations and creating jobs for thousands of families. Her contribution to rural development and poverty fighting earned her several awards, including the Henan Innovation Award.
Li Min’s story is a powerful reminder that professional success is defined by the strong love for work and devotion one brings to it. Her journey from a finance scholar to an agricultural leader shows how her efforts can bring change, inspire communities and contribute to sustainable development in agriculture. It encourages more students to seek their dreams with strong belief.
24.What made Li Min choose to return to her hometown after graduation?
A.Her determination to make a difference to it. B.Her unsuccessful job-hunting experiences.
C.A sudden change in her financial conditions. D.Pressure from her family to continue farming.
25.How did Li Min solve the problem in the supply chain?
A.Through government funds. B.Through mass production.
C.Through experienced farmers. D.Through Internet technology.
26.Which of the following can best describe Li Min?
A.Generous but hesitant. B.Big-headed and energetic.
C.Far-sighted and creative. D.Traditional but independent.
27.What can we learn from the text?
A.Passion counts in our professions. B.Success comes from full preparations.
C.Taking others’ advice is key for job choices. D.Career achievements depend on family support.

27.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Li Min’s story is a powerful reminder that professional success is defined by the strong love for work and devotion one brings to it. Her journey from a finance scholar to an agricultural leader shows how her efforts can bring change, inspire communities and contribute to sustainable development in agriculture. It encourages more students to seek their dreams with strong belief. (李敏的故事有力地提醒我们,职业成功是由对工作的热爱和投入所定义的。她从金融学者到农业领袖的历程表明,她的努力可以带来改变,激励社区,并促进农业的可持续发展。它鼓励更多的学生带着坚定的信念去追寻自己的梦想)”可知,李敏的故事告诉我们,职业成功是由对工作的热爱和投入所定义的,只要对工作充满热情并全力以赴,就有可能取得成功。由此可知,我们可以从文章中学到:热爱在我们的职业中很重要。故选A。
C
Poet and Harvard Professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow famously said, “Music is the universal language of mankind.” A new Harvard study suggests he may have been right.
The study conducted by a research team found that people around the world could identify lullabies (摇篮曲), dance songs, and comforting songs — regardless of the songs’ cultural origin — after hearing just a 14-second clip (片段). The finding suggests that not only is music deeply rooted in human nature, but that some types of songs break cultural boundaries.
The findings are based on a wide-reaching experiment in which 750 online participants in 60 countries listened to brief clips of songs collected from nearly 90 small societies around the world, including hunter-gatherers and some special farmers. Participants then answered six questions, rating each clip according to whether they believed the song was used for dancing, calming a baby, treating illness, or expressing love. Two additional uses — mourning (哀悼) the dead and telling a story — were included as controls.
The data showed that despite participants’ unfamiliarity with the cultures, the random sampling of each song, and the short duration of the samples, people were able to reliably infer the songs’ functions, and that their ratings were consistent across the world.
The findings ran counter to expert expectations. The team had also asked professionals, including performers, composers, psychologists, and scientists about whether they believed people would be able to identify the song types. Their answer was no. And not only that, but they predicted that people’s responses will be inconsistent with one another. “That’s not what we found,” the researchers said.
The researchers also wanted to know whether listeners were recognizing certain non-musical characteristics of the songs. To test that, the team conducted a second study. This time, they asked listeners about a number of contextual and musical features, ranging from the gender of the singers to the rhythm of the song.
When data from the two studies were combined, the results showed that songs of the same function shared similar characteristics — lullabies, for example, tended to be slower and simpler than dance music — suggesting that something about musical characteristics crosses cultural boundaries.
28.What did the participants do in the first study?
A.They distinguished functions of the songs.
B.They identified the cultural origins of the songs.
C.They recognized the non-musical characteristics of the songs.
D.They sorted the songs according to the gender of the singers.
29.What does the underlined part “ran counter to” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Were equal to. B.Were similar to.
C.Were superior to. D.Were opposite to.
30.Why did the researchers carry out the second study?
A.To test the musical knowledge of a wider audience.
B.To collect more diverse songs from various cultures.
C.To confirm the surprising results from the first one.
D.To explore the underlying reasons behind the findings.
31.What can we learn from the two studies?
A.Listeners recognize music by its rhythm. B.Something about music might be universal.
C.Dance music is usually slower and simpler. D.Cultural similarities lead to similar musical features.
【答案】28.A 29.D 30.D 31.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了哈佛大学的一项新研究表明,尽管文化背景不同,但人们能识别出不同功能歌曲的共性,音乐可能有共性。
【详解】28.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Participants then answered six questions, rating each clip according to whether they believed the song was used for dancing, calming a baby, treating illness, or expressing love.(参与者随后回答了六个问题,根据他们认为歌曲是用于跳舞、安抚婴儿、治疗疾病还是表达爱意,对每个片段进行评分)”可知,在第一个研究中,参与者要区分歌曲的功能。故选A。
29.词句猜测题。根据第四段“The data showed that despite participants’ unfamiliarity with the cultures, the random sampling of each song, and the short duration of the samples, people were able to reliably infer the songs’ functions, and that their ratings were consistent across the world.(数据显示,尽管参与者对这些文化并不熟悉,每首歌曲都是随机选取的,且样本持续时间很短,但人们仍能够可靠地推断出歌曲的功能,而且他们的评分在全球范围内是一致的)”、第五段中“The findings ran counter to expert expectations. The team had also asked professionals, including performers, composers, psychologists, and scientists about whether they believed people would be able to identify the song types. Their answer was no. And not only that, but they predicted that people’s responses will be inconsistent with one another. “That’s not what we found,” the researchers said.(这一发现ran counter to专家们的预期。研究团队还询问了包括表演者、作曲家、心理学家和科学家在内的专业人士,他们是否认为人们能够识别出歌曲类型。他们的回答是否定的。不仅如此,他们还预测人们的回答会相互不一致。“这并非我们的发现,”研究人员说道)”可知,研究结果与专家预期相反,所以ran counter to意思是“与……相反”。故选D。
30.细节理解题。根据第六段中“The researchers also wanted to know whether listeners were recognizing certain non-musical characteristics of the songs. To test that, the team conducted a second study.(研究人员还想知道听众是否通过歌曲的某些非音乐特征来识别。为了验证这一点,团队开展了第二项研究)”可知,研究人员进行第二项研究是为了探索研究结果背后的潜在原因。故选D。
31.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Poet and Harvard Professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow famously said, “Music is the universal language of mankind.” A new Harvard study suggests he may have been right.(诗人、哈佛大学教授亨利·沃兹沃思·朗费罗曾说过一句名言:“音乐是人类通用的语言。”哈佛大学的一项新研究表明,他可能是对的)”以及最后一段中“When data from the two studies were combined, the results showed that songs of the same function shared similar characteristics — lullabies, for example, tended to be slower and simpler than dance music — suggesting that something about musical characteristics crosses cultural boundaries.(当两项研究的数据结合起来时,结果显示,功能相同的歌曲具有相似的特征——例如,摇篮曲往往比舞曲更慢、更简单——这表明音乐特征的一些方面跨越了文化界限)”可知,这两项研究告诉我们音乐的一些方面可能是普遍的。故选B。
D
The rapid spread of artificial intelligence has people wondering: who’s most likely to use AI in their daily lives? Many think it’s the tech-savvy – those who understand how AI works — who are most eager to adopt it.
Surprisingly, a new research, published in the Journal of Marketing, finds the opposite. People with less knowledge about AI are actually more open to using the technology. We call this difference in adoption the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link (低识字率 — 高接受度). This link exists across different groups, backgrounds and even countries. For instance, our analysis of data from market research company Ipsos across 27 countries shows that people in nations with lower average AI literacy are more receptive towards AI adoption than those in nations with higher literacy.
The reason behind this link lies in how AI now performs tasks we once thought only humans could do. When AI creates a piece of art, writes a heartfelt response or plays a musical instrument, it can feel almost amazing — like it’s crossing into human land. Of course, AI doesn’t actually have human qualities. A chatbot might create an empathetic (共情的) response, but it doesn’t feel empathy (共鸣). People with more technical knowledge about AI understand this, making the technology less mysterious. On the other hand, those with less understanding may see AI as magical. We suggest this sense of magic makes them more open to using AI tools.
The lower literacy-higher receptivity link is strongest for using AI tools in areas where people are more likely to ask for emotional support or consulting. When it comes to tasks that don’t need human-like qualities, such as analysing test results, the pattern changes. To make the most of AI, businesses, educators and policymakers need to make this balance. And ideally, this will happen with respect that inspires many people to use this new technology.
32.Who are more likely to use AI in daily lives?
A.People who are tech-savvy. B.People in developed countries.
C.People with higher average AI literacy. D.People with less knowledge about AI.
33.How does the author prove the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link?
A.By giving examples of AI applications.
B.By doing experiments on the use of AI.
C.By analyzing data from a market research company.
D.By interviewing people with different AI knowledge levels.
34.Why might people with low literacy about AI find it “magical”?
A.They believe AI has human emotions.
B.They do not understand how AI works.
C.They have seen AI perform tasks better than humans.
D.They are more likely to use AI for emotional support.
35.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A.AI in Life: Who Uses It? B.AI Use: The Hidden Magic
C.AI Tools: Tech-savvy’s Choice D.AI’s Future: A Threat or An Opportunity?
【答案】32.D 33.C 34.B 35.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了关于人工智能(AI)使用的一个有趣现象,即“低识字率—高接受度”链接,指出对AI了解较少的人实际上更愿意采用这项技术,并探讨了这一现象背后的原因以及在不同应用场景下的表现。
【详解】32.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Many think it’s the tech-savvy – those who understand how AI works — who are most eager to adopt it.(人工智能的迅速普及让人们不禁思考:谁最有可能在日常生活中使用AI?许多人认为,最热衷于采用AI 的会是那些精通技术、了解 AI 工作原理的人。)”和第二段“Surprisingly, a new research, published in the Journal of Marketing, finds the opposite. People with less knowledge about AI are actually more open to using the technology.(然而,发表在《营销杂志》上的一项新研究却得出了相反的结论。事实上,对AI知识了解较少的人反而更愿意使用这项技术。)”可知,传统观点认为精通技术的人更可能使用 AI,但研究表明实际情况相反——对 AI 知识了解较少的人更愿意使用。故选D。
33.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“This link exists across different groups, backgrounds and even countries. For instance, our analysis of data from market research company Ipsos across 27 countries shows that people in nations with lower average AI literacy are more receptive towards AI adoption than those in nations with higher literacy.(这种关联存在于不同群体、背景甚至不同国家之中。例如,我们对市场研究公司Ipsos在27个国家的数据进行分析后发现,平均AI知识水平较低的国家的民众,比AI知识水平较高的国家的民众更愿意接受AI的应用。)”可知,作者通过分析市场研究公司Ipsos在27个国家的数据,证明了“低知识水平—高接受度”的关联。故选C。
34.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“On the other hand, those with less understanding may see AI as magical. We suggest this sense of magic makes them more open to using AI tools.(另一方面,理解较少的人可能将AI视为神奇的存在。我们认为,这种“神奇感”使他们更愿意使用 AI 工具。)”可知,对AI技术知识了解较少的人因不了解其工作原理,会将AI完成类人任务的能力视为神奇的。故选B。
35.主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,全文围绕“谁更可能在日常生活中使用 AI”这一问题展开,通过研究揭示“低知识水平者反而更接受 AI”的现象,并分析其原因。选项A“AI in Life: Who Uses It?(谁在使用AI?)”直接以疑问句式点明文章探讨的核心问题。故选A。
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。
A grateful attitude brings real benefits to our mental health. However, the busyness of life, financial worries, and work stress constantly compete for our attention. As humans, we tend to focus on problems rather than blessings (幸事). Fortunately, there are practical habits that can help us develop a genuine sense of thankfulness.
36 Begin your day with spoken thanks or prayer. This small act, repeated daily, can gradually reshape how we experience everything that follows. Over time, positivity becomes a natural response rather than a forced effort.
The word “thanks” carries more power than most people realize. 37 When you express appreciation to others — whether a coworker, a doctor, or a store clerk — you strengthen your relationships while also improving your own emotional state.
Keeping a gratitude (感恩) journal is another effective strategy. Write down the people, experiences, and small moments you feel thankful for each day. 38 The act of writing itself forces you to slow down and truly notice the good in your life.
Reading stories of those who have overcome severe difficulties can also greatly change your view. 39 Learning how others found strength through gratitude often inspires us to find our own.
A wise person once declared, “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” 40 Developing gratitude takes continuous effort, but the rewards are well worth it.
A.It can lift both the giver and the receiver.
B.A grateful person faces fewer challenges.
C.Over time, you can look back with appreciation.
D.Such stories remind us of life’s hidden blessings.
E.Therefore, we should make gratitude a daily habit.
F.Each morning, we face a choice about our mindset.
G.Looking back on the past brings long-term happiness.
【答案】36.F 37.A 38.C 39.D 40.E
【导语】文章主要讲述了培养感恩之心的实用方法及其对身心健康的益处。
【详解】36.上文“Fortunately, there are practical habits that can help us develop a genuine sense of thankfulness.(幸运的是,有一些实用的习惯可以帮助我们培养真正的感恩之心)”提出了培养感恩习惯的可能性。下文“Begin your day with spoken thanks or prayer.(以口头感谢或祈祷开始你的一天)”给出了具体的做法。空处承上启下,应引出“每天早晨的心态选择”这一具体习惯。F项“每天早上,我们都面临关于心态的选择”既呼应了上文的habits,又自然引出下文“以感谢开始一天”的具体行动,说明感恩是一种主动的心态选择。
37.上文“The word “thanks” carries more power than most people realize.(“谢谢”这个词的力量比大多数人意识到的要大)”强调了表达感谢的重要性。下文“When you express appreciation to others — whether a coworker, a doctor, or a store clerk — you strengthen your relationships while also improving your own emotional state.(当你向他人表达感激之情时——无论是同事、医生还是店员——你加强了人际关系,同时也改善了自己的情绪状态)”具体说明了表达感谢带来的双向好处。空处应总结感谢的力量,即惠及双方。A项“它能让给予者和接受者都振奋起来。”准确概括了下文描述的双向益处。
38.上文“Write down the people, experiences, and small moments you feel thankful for each day.(写下你每天心存感激的人、经历和小瞬间)”描述了写感恩日记的动作。空处顺接前文,说明长期坚持写日记带来的结果。C项“久而久之,你可以带着感激之情回顾过往。”是长期记录后产生的自然结果,与上文逻辑连贯。
39.上文“Reading stories of those who have overcome severe difficulties can also greatly change your view.(阅读那些克服严重困难之人的故事也能极大地改变你的看法)”提到了阅读励志故事。下文“Learning how others found strength through gratitude often inspires us to find our own.(了解他人如何通过感恩找到力量,往往能激励我们找到自己的力量)”说明了这些故事对我们的启发。空处应承上启下,说明这些故事的作用。D项“这样的故事提醒我们生活中隐藏的幸事。”中的“Such stories”指代上文,“hidden blessings”呼应下文的“found strength”。
40.上文“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.(喜乐的心乃是良药,忧伤的灵使骨枯干)”引用谚语强调了心态的重要性。下文“Developing gratitude takes continuous effort, but the rewards are well worth it.(培养感恩需要持续的努力,但回报是值得的)”回归到培养感恩的具体努力上。空处应连接心态与努力,说明我们每天面临的选择。空处承上启下,引出“培养感恩需要努力”这一行动建议。E选项“因此,我们应该让感恩成为一种日常习惯。”起到总结全文、升华主旨的作用。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1. 5分, 满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Yueju Opera, a major school of traditional Chinese theater that traces its origins to Shengzhou County in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, shares with Peking Opera the unique form of story-telling that integrates classical singing, dancing, and acting 56 a unified artistic expression. However, this classical art form, like many others, hasn’t faced much interest from young people 57 the groundbreaking New Dragon Gate Inn breaks the spell.
Different from previous Yueju Opera performances, the novelty of New Dragon Gate Inn is reflected in several aspects. First, it features an immersive experience, 58 the theater is turned into an inn filled with secret passages, 59 (combine) the stage and the audience seats.
In addition to its bold and innovative adaptation, New Dragon Gate Inn has pioneered a marketing strategy — 60 that uses short video platforms to offer barrier-free online viewing, effectively engaging younger audiences. Yet 61 truly defines its success is not just its modern appeal, but the beauty of traditional Chinese culture and the continuous devotion of its guardians. They have bridged the old and the new, proving that innovation booms when 62 (root) in heritage, and that traditions, when shared creatively, can find a lively new life.
The success of New Dragon Gate Inn signals a 63 (promise) future for other traditional Chinese art forms, showing how innovation — when grounded in respect for cultural heritage — can 64 (dramatic) expand artistic possibilities. As Chen Lijun, the production’s lead performer, says, “Opera 65 (carve) in the DNA of the Chinese people. After a small stone is cast, the DNA awakens.”
【答案】
56.into 57.until 58.where 59.combining 60.one 61.what 62.rooted 63.promising 64.dramatically 65.is carved
【导语】本文主要介绍越剧的起源与艺术形式,讲述新版《新龙门客栈》越剧在沉浸式舞台、营销模式上的创新,以及其成功为传统戏曲革新传承带来的启示与美好前景。
56.考查介词。句意:越剧是中国传统戏曲的主要流派之一,起源于浙江省绍兴市嵊州县,与京剧一样,它融合了古典歌唱、舞蹈和表演的独特叙事形式,形成了一种统一的艺术表达。固定搭配integrate...into...,意为“把……融合成……”,所以此处为介词into。
57.考查连词。句意:然而和众多传统艺术一样,这种古典艺术一直难以获得年轻人关注,直到创新版《新龙门客栈》打破这一僵局。此处表示“直到……才……”,用连词until。
58.考查定语从句。句意:首先,它具有一种沉浸式的体验,剧院被改造成一个充满密道的客栈,将舞台和观众席结合在一起。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为experience表抽象地点,从句缺少地点状语,所以用关系副词where。故填where。
59.考查非谓语动词。句意:首先,它具有一种沉浸式的体验,剧院被改造成一个充满密道的客栈,将舞台和观众席结合在一起。此处为非谓语动词作伴随状语,逻辑主语the theater与combine之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词combining。
60.考查代词。句意:除大胆创新改编外,《新龙门客栈》还开创了全新营销策略,一种借助短视频平台实现无障碍线上观看的策略,有效吸引年轻观众。此处指代前文单数名词marketing strategy,泛指同类事物中的一个,用代词one。
61.考查主语从句。句意:然而真正定义其成功的不仅是现代吸引力,更是中华传统文化之美与传承者的坚守付出。此处引导主语从句,从句中缺少主语,指代事物内容,所以用连接代词what。
62.考查非谓语动词。句意:他们将古老与现代联系起来,证明了创新在植根于传统时才会蓬勃发展,而传统在创造性地分享时也能焕发出新的生机。此处为省略结构,root与逻辑主语为被动关系,完整形式为when it is rooted in heritage,省略主语与be动词,用过去分词rooted。
63.考查形容词。句意:《新龙门客栈》的成功为其他中国传统艺术形式预示了一个光明的未来,展示了当创新植根于对文化遗产的尊重时,如何能够极大地扩展艺术的可能性。此处修饰名词future,需用形容词作定语,promise的形容词形式promising意为“有前景的、充满希望的”。
64.考查副词。句意:《新龙门客栈》的成功为其他中国传统艺术形式预示了一个光明的未来,展示了当创新植根于对文化遗产的尊重时,如何能够极大地扩展艺术的可能性。此处修饰动词expand,需用副词作状语,dramatic的副词形式为dramatically意为“极大地”。
65.考查动词时态和语态。句意:正如该剧的主演陈丽君所说:“戏曲刻在中国人的DNA里。扔下一块小石头,DNA就会觉醒。”此处为谓语动词,陈述客观事实用一般现在时;主语Opera与carve之间为被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,且主语为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词为is carved。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
One summer day my father sent me to buy wire for our farm. At 16, I liked nothing better than driving our old truck, feeling the wind through the open window and the roar of the engine. But this time I was not happy. My father had told me I’d have to ask for credit at the store.
Sixteen is a prideful age, when a young man wants respect, not charity. It was 1976, and the ugly shadow of racial discrimination was still a fact of life in our small town. I’d seen my friends ask for credit and then stand, head down, while the store owner questioned whether they were “good for it.” I knew black youths just like me who were watched like thieves by the store clerk each time they went into a grocery. The memory of their embarrassed faces burned in my mind.
My family was honest. We paid our debts. My parents worked from dawn to dusk, and we never took anything that wasn’t ours. But before harvest, cash was always short. The crops were still green in the fields, and every dollar had to stretch. Would the store owner trust us? My heart pounded as I parked the truck in front of Davis’s store, dust rising around the wheels.
At Davis’s store, Buck Davis stood behind the cash desk, talking to a farmer I didn’t know. The air smelled of leather and feed. I nodded as I passed him on my way to the hardware shelves, my hands slightly sweaty. I picked up the bunch of wire and added a few other supplies we needed.
When I brought my purchases to the cash desk, I cleared my throat and said carefully, “I need to put this on credit.” The words felt heavy on my tongue.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

The farmer gave me an amused, distrustful look but Buck’s face didn’t change.

That day I discovered the good name my parents had earned.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The farmer gave me an amused, distrustful look but Buck’s face didn’t change. “Sure,” he said, picking up the wire. “Your daddy is always good for it.” He turned to the farmer and added, “Here is one of James Williams’s sons.” The farmer’s expression lightened. He nodded, as if seeing me for the first time. A feeling of ease washed over me, followed by something warmer — pride. Those three words, James Williams’s son, had opened a door to an adult’s respect and trust. I walked out of the store with my head high, the wire in my hands feeling light.
That day I discovered the good name my parents had earned. It brought our family the respect of our neighbors. Everyone knew what to expect from a Williams: a decent person who kept his word. Driving home, I understood that a good name wasn’t something you asked for — it was something you lived. My father had given me more than a truck. He had given me a legacy of honesty and the quiet power of being known as someone who could be trusted.
【导语】本文以16岁黑人少年受父亲之托去商店赊账购买铁丝为线索展开,讲述了主人公因种族歧视而对赊账感到羞耻和紧张,最终因父母诚实守信的好名声而顺利获得店主信任与尊重的故事。
