B As we drove along the country road, a herd of deer emerged as if by magic, surrounding us from all sides. I shouted at my husband to slow down and avoid hitting them. We were coming to a stop when the car doors flew open and we sprang out of the car. A deer lay injured by the roadside, with its eyes wide open. While some deer scattered, a few remained at a safe distance, observing the scene. “I have to call the police,” my husband said. As we waited for help, a nearby resident came out of his house, angrily shouting instructions. I told him that we had already contacted the police. He stood at his doorway, arms crossed, watching us. I know he wanted to make sure we didn’t leave the scene. I suggested calling a 24-hour veterinarian clinic, but before doing so, I noticed a slight movement in the deer’s back leg. We watched as she struggled to rise. After several minutes, she managed to stand. She turned her head to look at us, and then leapt gracefully toward the forest. I raced after her until she disappeared into the forest. Tears streamed down my face, a mix of joy that she could run again and fear for her survival. I walked back to the car just as the police arrived. Our “security guard” returned to his house, satisfied that his role was complete. After listening to our account, the police praised us for remaining at the scene. They told us that deer are resilient creatures and that she would survive. The following day, we revisited the scene. The area showed no signs of blood. I discovered a piece of our car’s plastic bumper with the deer’s fur attached to it. I picked it up and took it home. Whenever I see a deer walking through the forest along our country road, I wonder if it was our deer from that summer evening. 24.

They tried to find the injured deer. D. They investigated the scene the next day. C A student stands before a shopkeeper on a Chinese market street. The shopkeeper announces that he has many things to sell, from cakes to postcards. The student is considering the selection. Like many people learning a new language, he must consider grammar, pronunciation and tenses before answering. When it comes to Mandarin (普通话), that is especially difficult. This scene is not actually playing out in China, but at an American university where a classroom has been equipped with a learning game, enhanced by AI. The project is the result of collaboration between IBM Research and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPD). The class, called AI-assisted Immersive Chinese, aims to create the kind of interactions a student could normally only get in a study-abroad program. The class is built like a video game. Students enter a classroom with a360-degree display to face a huge screen. They can bargain with digitized shopkeepers selling fruit or order Peking duck from a waiter at a restaurant. The conversational skills these avatars (虚拟化身) have make it possible for them to respond in real time to the students, with a degree of unpredictability that makes it similar to communicating with real humans. Unlike the real world, where people may make embarrassing public mistakes in the service of learning a new language, here students can pause the scene after messing up a pronunciation and replay it again to fix mistakes as needed. “We’ve enabled the class to be like a game,” said Hui Su, the project’s lead researcher. “And like any game, there are multiple levels with growing difficulty. The students who signed up for this course are at varying levels of Mandarin proficiency. They can set the level of dialogue difficulty individually and progress at the best speed for them.” The germ of this idea appeared in 2013, when some language teachers and some game development teachers at RPI wondered if they could band together to create a language learning game. But the language interaction capability of the technology available was limited. In 2016, after RPI had teamed up with IBM, they finally had all the tech they needed to create what they wanted. It was a perfect marriage of RPI’s immersive technology and IBM’s speech recognition software. The system could have taught any language, but Su chose Mandarin. “Mandarin is one of the most difficult languages to learn,” said Su. “It’s a tonal language, with four different tones. Each character can have four different meanings when pronounced with different syllabic (音节的) emphasis.” 28. What is the student mentioned in paragraph 1 doing? A. He is travelling in China. B. He is programming a play. C. He is considering his shopping selection. D. He is learning Mandarin in a certain scene. 29. What does AI-assisted Immersive Chinese offer? A. A new communication program in China B. Real-life Chinese interaction environment. C. Guidance on playing a Chinese video game. D. A chance of improving social interaction skills. 30. What is stressed in Hui Su’s words in paragraph 5? A. The feature of a good game. B. The wide acceptance of this project. C. That students are keen on Mandarin. D. That students can find their own study pace in the project. 31. What does the underlined word “germ” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Popularity. B. Bacterium. C. Origin. D. Development D The most dangerous myths are the ones we don’t see. Human exceptionalism — the belief that humans are fundamentally superior to the rest of nature — is one of those myths. This worldview is not hidden because it’s obscure — it’s hidden because it’s everywhere, taken for granted, and rarely questioned. But what struck me most is just how thoroughly this belief has infiltrated (渗透) science — an institution meant to challenge our biases, not reinforce them. Take research on self-awareness. For decades, we believed only humans and certain primate species could recognize themselves in mirrors, a supposed benchmark of self-awareness. But the mirror test is biased toward vision. Dogs experience the world primarily via scent. They pass the smell-based mirror test with ease — demonstrating self-awareness in their dominant sense. When we measure the world with a human-oriented ruler, other species inevitably come up short. Many treat human exceptionalism as a natural conclusion. But recent studies in developmental and cross-cultural psychology suggest otherwise. Beliefs in human exceptionalism aren’t an inevitably biological outcome — they instead reflect a cultural worldview. Across repeated studies, when presented with moral dilemmas — such as saving one human or multiple animals — adults overwhelmingly favored humans, even when the trade-off involved 100 dogs or pigs. Children, however, often chose to save multiple animals over one human, valuing human and nonhuman lives far more similarly. This suggests that the human-centred moral frameworks commonly held by adults are not the biological default, but emerge over time through cultural learning — particularly as children become increasingly exposed to the ways other forms of life are used and valued in our society. Research across human cultures also reveals that human exceptionalism is far from universal. Many Indigenous (土著的) and non-Western knowledge systems reject such natural hierarchies. They recognize other animals, plants, rivers, forests, and mountains as kin: sentient, agentive beings embedded in a shared moral and ecological world. Within these frameworks, the notion that humans are separate or superior simply doesn’t hold. While writing my last book, I was introduced to various alternative cosmologies (宇宙观) that reject the ideology of human exceptionalism. These worldviews model ways of living in greater balance with the rest of the natural world. Some today maintain that humans are the most evolutionarily “successful” species. Success, in this view, is measured by ecological dominance. But in reality, the most resilient ecosystems are built on interdependence. We’ve constructed our scientific models around struggle and individualism, even though life on earth is held together by relationships and co-evolution. The real insight comes from humility. Seeing ourselves clearly — not as rulers, but as participants in a larger web — is one of the most urgent scientific and moral challenges of our time. 32. What does the author want to prove by mentioning the mirror test? A. Good science requires repeated tests B. Faulty scientific standards deepen bias C. Human tests often favor visual senses D. Cognitive tests are invalid for non-primates 33. What leads to the belief of human exceptionalism? A. Human nature. B. Knowledge system. C. Living area. D. Cultural exposure. 34. The author mainly suggests ______. A. reevaluating human-nature relationship B. exploring interdependence across species C. acknowledging the limitation of science D. rejecting the idea of evolutionary success 35. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Are Humans a Successful Species? B. Putting Humans First Is Not Natural C. What Makes Humans Exceptional? D. Human Exceptionalism: A Global View 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Improve Your Reading Comprehension Skills Reading comprehension is a key skill for students, especially for senior high school students preparing for exams. 36 Here are some practical tips to help you improve your reading comprehension skills effectively. First of all, preview the passage before reading it carefully. 37 You can read the title, the first and last paragraphs, and the headings of each part. This will help you get a general idea of the passage and know what it is mainly about. It will also make it easier for you to follow the details when you read the passage thoroughly. While reading, pay attention to the key words and sentences. Key words usually include nouns, verbs and adjectives that carry important information. 38 For example, in a narrative passage, the key sentences may describe the main characters, the plot or the theme. Underlining or highlighting these key points can help you remember them and find them quickly when answering questions. Don’t worry too much about new words while reading. 39 You can guess their meanings according to the context, such as the sentences before and after the new words. If the new words are not important for understanding the passage, you can just skip them. Only look up the new words in a dictionary after reading if they really affect your understanding. Finally, practice reading regularly. Practice makes perfect. 40 You can choose different types of passages, such as narratives, expositions and arguments, to broaden your reading scope. After reading, do some exercises to check your understanding and summarize the main idea of the passage. This will help you improve your reading speed and comprehension gradually. A. Previewing can save you a lot of time. B. It is necessary to master some reading skills. C. It helps you understand the passage better and faster. D. Reading comprehension is not difficult if you have good methods. E. The more you read, the better your reading comprehension will be. F.

She should have done this many years ago. Then she signed up for the beginner class. Ever since she was a young girl climbing walls barefooted, Penny had been fascinated by circus performers. She often dreamed of standing on the platform at the top of a tent in a shining costume, waiting to let loose and swing to the opposite end while performing in the air. Now at the age of 60, Penny finally plucked up her courage to do something she had been longing to do. The class began with a flying-out trapeze practice. One by one, the students climbed up the narrow wooden ladder to the platform. They were supposed to immediately lift their legs and hang their knees over the bar, then release hands to hang upside down. The trapeze slowed down when it came back, and the trick wouldn’t work well if they were not fast enough. All this had to be done on the first swing out. Hesitate, and they would miss the grab. They just had eight seconds to complete the trick. As Penny watched the others practicing, many questions ran through her mind: Could she lift her body up high enough to catch the bar? Could she be fast enough to grab the trapeze? She could feel her heart beating wildly as the line became shorter and shorter. She doubted whether she could make it. Though she could barely reach the trapeze without stepping off the platform, she held on and waited for the instruction. Soon, it was her turn. _____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Penny learned more than how to fly on a trapeze that day. _______________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
