When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage (车库), and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket (桶). It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors. However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high-fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna called back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想) ”, adding yet another name. Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. We were faced with one dilemma — what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives. 24. What did Donna decide to replace the chair and bucket for? A. Lighten the carrying load. B. Attract more neighbours. C. Get better seating for chats. D. Adapt to warmer weather. 25. How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From users’ activities on it. D. From Donna’s creative ideas. 26. Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. C. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. 27. What does “The Bench” represent by the story’s end? A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A solution to the aging problem. C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和邻居唐娜在户外放置长椅，长椅吸引邻居们一起聊天、思考、做决定，最终成为邻里情谊象征的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived.(然而，在接下来的几天里，事实证明，我们需要的不仅仅是一把椅子和一只不太舒服的水桶。唐娜决定我们需要一条长凳。她先排除了当地商店里那些不合适的款式，之后在网上找到了一张完美的长椅。)”以及“What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.(更重要的是，它非常适合两位70多岁的老人进行傍晚的聊天)”可知，唐娜决定把椅子和桶换成长凳是为了让聊天时有更好的座位。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想) ”, adding yet another name.(然后，这个名字逐渐演变——一位邻居独自坐着沉思后，他宣称这是一个‘决策长椅’；还有一次，当唐娜被发现打盹时，她坚持说自己在‘冥想’，于是又加了一个名字)”可知，长凳的名字来源于使用者在长凳上的活动。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.(在接下来的几个月里，当我瞥见它几次时，长凳孤零零地立着，上面放着空花盆和一些扁平的旧盒子。但是现在，经过一个漫长的冬天，春天的花朵已经准备好在温暖的阳光下绽放，我们邻居们也准备好欢迎‘长凳’回到我们的生活中)”可知，长凳上放着空花盆和旧盒子，说明长凳在冬天没有发挥它的作用，即让邻居们一起聊天、思考、做决定。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors.(很快，长凳吸引了其他邻居)”以及最后一段中的“But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome ‘The Bench’ back into our lives.(但是现在，经过一个漫长的冬天，春天的花朵已经准备好在温暖的阳光下绽放，我们邻居们也准备好欢迎’长凳’回到我们的生活中)”可知，长凳吸引了邻居们一起聊天、思考、做决定，它最终象征着邻里间的情谊联结。故选A。 C Since the 1950s, some 9.2 billion tonnes of plastic have been produced globally, of which only about 10% has ever been recycled. Yet environmentally conscious companies and consumers continue to look to recycling as a way to ease the plastic problem. Manufacturing giants claim to be committed to making more of their products and packaging from recycled materials. However, this confidence masks (掩饰) a complex web of issues around plastic recycling. Recycling rates remain extremely low and critics argue that we should look at alternative ways to tackle plastic pollution. While many plastics have the potential to be recycled, most are not because the process is costly, complicated and the resulting product of a lower quality than the original. Despite rising demand for recycled plastic, few waste companies turn a profit. Part of this is because virgin plastic-linked to oil prices - is often cheaper than recycled plastic, meaning there is little economic incentive to use it. Worse yet, much of our plastic waste is difficult to recycle. Lightweight food packaging, like a mozzarella packet, contains different plastics, dyes and toxic additives (添加剂). This dirty mix means plastic recycled through mechanical methods- the most common form- can only be melted down and moulded (浇铸,塑造) again a couple of times before it becomes too fragile to be reused. And the nature of the process means plastic recycling has a carbon footprint of its own. Given all of these difficulties, environmental critics say recycling is not the solution-and argue that creating more products from recycled material to attract environmental consciousness merely worsens the problem. “The solution is to use less plastic and to stop misleading the public about the recyclability,” says Enck, president of Beyond Plastics, a US campaign group with a mission to end single-use plastic. “They should stop making false claims about the recyclability of plastics since they know most will either be littered (乱扔) or burned or landfilled (填埋). Using less plastics means shifting to reusable products and relying more on paper, cardboard, glass and metal- -all of which should be made from recycled content.” 28. What is an environmentally conscious customer’s attitude towards recycling plastics? A. Suspicious. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Disapproving. 29. What does the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. motive. B. issue. C. crisis. D. policy. 30. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The recycling process of plastics. B. Pollutants contained in recycled plastics. C. Reasons why users dislike recycled plastics. D. Contributing factors to low plastic recycling rates. 31. What will the environmental critics be happy to see according to the text? A. Using metal or glass food containers. B. Littering recycled plastics in a landfill. C. Processing plastics in a mechanical way. D. Launching campaigns to promote recyclability. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍大众希望通过回收塑料来解决塑料污染问题，但是实际回收率却很低，因为收益少。环境评论家认为，应该通过少用塑料制品或者可循环利用的物品来代替塑料制品来解决塑料污染问题。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Since the 1950s, some 9.2 billion tonnes of plastic have been produced globally, of which only about 10% has ever been recycled. Yet environmentally conscious companies and consumers continue to look to recycling as a way to ease the plastic problem. (自20世纪50年代以来，全球生产了约92亿吨塑料，其中只有约10%被回收。然而，有环保意识的公司和消费者继续将回收利用视为缓解塑料问题的一种方式。)”可知，有环保意识的人对回收塑料的态度是赞同的。故选B。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Despite rising demand for recycled plastic, few waste companies turn a profit. Part of this is because virgin plastic-linked to oil prices - is often cheaper than recycled plastic, meaning there is little economic incentive to use it. (尽管对回收塑料的需求不断增加，但很少有废物公司盈利。部分原因是与油价相关的原始塑料通常比回收塑料便宜，这意味着使用它几乎没有经济incentive。)”可知，与油价相关的原始塑料通常比回收塑料便宜，所以回收公司没有什么盈利，也就没有经济方面的动力，所以incentive的意思应该是“动机，动力”，和选项A意思一致。故选A。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“While many plastics have the potential to be recycled, most are not because the process is costly, complicated and the resulting product of a lower quality than the original. Despite rising demand for recycled plastic, few waste companies turn a profit. Part of this is because virgin plastic-linked to oil prices - is often cheaper than recycled plastic, meaning there is little economic incentive to use it. Worse yet, much of our plastic waste is difficult to recycle. Lightweight food packaging, like a mozzarella packet, contains different plastics, dyes and toxic additives(添加剂). This dirty mix means plastic recycled through mechanical methods- the most common form- can only be melted down and moulded(浇铸,塑造) again a couple of times before it becomes too fragile to be reused. And the nature of the process means plastic recycling has a carbon footprint of its own. (虽然许多塑料都有回收的潜力，但大多数塑料都没有，因为这一过程成本高昂、复杂，而且最终产生的产品质量低于原来的产品。尽管对回收塑料的需求不断增加，但很少有废物公司盈利。部分原因是与油价相关的原始塑料通常比回收塑料便宜，这意味着使用它几乎没有经济动机。更糟糕的是，我们的许多塑料垃圾很难回收。像马苏里拉奶酪包一样，重量轻的食品包装含有不同的塑料、染料和有毒添加剂。这种肮脏的混合物意味着通过机械方法回收的塑料——最常见的形式——只能熔化并再次成型几次，然后变得太脆弱而无法重复使用。这一过程的性质意味着塑料回收本身就有碳足迹。)”可知，这一段主要介绍导致塑料回收率低的因素。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The solution is to use less plastic and to stop misleading the public about the recyclability (解决方案是减少塑料的使用，并停止在可回收性方面误导公众)”和“Using less plastics means shifting to reusable products and relying more on paper, cardboard, glass and metal- -all of which should be made from recycled content.(减少塑料的使用意味着转向可重复使用的产品，更多地依赖纸张、纸板、玻璃和金属——所有这些都应该由回收材料制成。)”可知，环境评论家认为，应该通过少用塑料制品或者可循环利用的物品来代替塑料制品来解决塑料污染问题。故选A。 D I often catch myself asking my questions to AI chatbots with a “please” and a “thank you.” Apparently, I am not alone. A 2024 survey found that approximately 67% of U.S. AI users are also polite and show gratitude toward AI search engines. Some even joked about the cost: if every polite word consumes electricity, the bill must be high. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman replied: “Tens of millions of dollars well spent — you never know.” In reality, of course, AI chatbots do not appreciate politeness; they lack consciousness, feelings or social needs. From a purely utilitarian (功利主义的) standpoint, all those pleases and thank yous are just flushing money down the toilet. Still, there may be value that isn’t immediately measurable in showing gratitude toward AI. Psychologists Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough carried out an experiment in which they divided participants into three groups, asking the first to list things they are grateful for, while others listed daily troubles or simply kept journals. After 10 weeks, they found that the first group reported 25% higher happiness levels, stronger inner strength and even better physical health. What’s true of gratitude is also true of kindness and generosity more generally. Experiments at UC Riverside found that performing “five small acts of kindness per week” produced steady increases in happiness. This idea isn’t new. The medieval thinker Maimonides wrote that “it is better for a person to give one coin to a thousand poor people than to give a thousand coins to one poor person.” He believed that regular acts of goodness, like giving charity and expressing gratitude, make us happier in the long run by turning virtue into a habit. So perhaps all of our pleases and thank yous to AI have value, even if they cost OpenAI millions of dollars annually. Showing appreciation, even toward a machine, reinforces positive habits of courtesy (礼貌), patience and empathy. In our increasingly digital and automated world, preserving these human qualities may be more valuable than the cost of a little extra electricity. Ultimately, the beneficiary of our politeness isn’t the AI at all, but ourselves. 32. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By quoting an expert. B. By telling a story. C. By presenting a phenomenon. D. By defining a concept. 33. What value of gratitude does the experiment in paragraph 3 show? A. It strengthens our bodies and minds. B. It reduces daily stress levels. C. It improves memory and creativity. D. It deepens social relationships. 34. Which of the following would Maimonides most likely approve of? A. Giving gifts to friends on birthdays. B. Making a large donation to a charity. C. Expressing gratitude on Thanksgiving Day. D. Volunteering weekly at a community kitchen. 35. What message does the author mainly convey in the text? A. Courtesy to AI saves electricity bills. B. AI improves the quality of human life. C. Politeness benefits humans rather than AI. D. AI learns empathy from human behavior. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出很多人对AI礼貌，虽AI无感知且看似无用，但相关实验和观点表明，这种行为能培养人类礼貌、同理心等品质，最终受益者是人类自身。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I often catch myself asking my questions to AI chatbots with a “please” and a “thank you.” Apparently, I am not alone. A 2024 survey found that approximately 67% of U.S. AI users are also polite and show gratitude toward AI search engines. Some even joked about the cost: if every polite word consumes electricity, the bill must be high. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman replied: “Tens of millions of dollars well spent — you never know.”(我常常会发现自己在向人工智能聊天机器人提问时会加上“请”和“谢谢”这样的词语。显然，我不是唯一一个这样做的。2024年的一项调查发现，大约67%的美国人工智能用户也会对人工智能搜索引擎表现出礼貌和感激之情。有些人甚至开玩笑说这要花费不少钱：如果每一个礼貌的词语都要消耗电能，那账单肯定很高。OpenAI的首席执行官萨姆·阿尔特曼回应道：“这花费了数千万美元——谁知道呢。”)”并结合下文对“对AI礼貌能培养人的礼貌、同理心等品质”的陈述可知，作者在第一段通过描述一个现象引入话题。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Still, there may be value that isn’t immediately measurable in showing gratitude toward AI. Psychologists Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough carried out an experiment in which they divided participants into three groups, asking the first to list things they are grateful for, while others listed daily troubles or simply kept journals. After 10 weeks, they found that the first group reported 25% higher happiness levels, stronger inner strength and even better physical health.( 不过，对人工智能表示感激所体现的价值可能并非是能够立即衡量出来的。心理学家罗伯特·埃蒙斯和迈克尔·麦卡洛开展了一项实验，他们将参与者分为三组，要求第一组列出他们所感激的事情，而其他两组则分别记录日常烦恼或只是进行日常日记记录。10周后，他们发现第一组的幸福感水平提高了25%，内心力量更强，身体状况也更好)”可知，第三段中的实验表明了感恩能增强我们的身体和心智。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“He believed that regular acts of goodness, like giving charity and expressing gratitude, make us happier in the long run by turning virtue into a habit.(他认为，定期的善举，比如进行慈善捐赠和表达感激之情，会通过将美德转化为习惯而使我们长期感到更幸福)”可知，迈蒙尼德认同每周到社区厨房做志愿服务的做法。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Showing appreciation, even toward a machine, reinforces positive habits of courtesy (礼貌), patience and empathy.

When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage (车库), and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket (桶). It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors. However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high-fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna called back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想) ”, adding yet another name. Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. We were faced with one dilemma — what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives. 24. What did Donna decide to replace the chair and bucket for? A. Lighten the carrying load. B. Attract more neighbours. C. Get better seating for chats. D. Adapt to warmer weather. 25. How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From users’ activities on it. D. From Donna’s creative ideas. 26. Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. C. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. 27. What does “The Bench” represent by the story’s end? A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A solution to the aging problem. C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order. C Since the 1950s, some 9.2 billion tonnes of plastic have been produced globally, of which only about 10% has ever been recycled. Yet environmentally conscious companies and consumers continue to look to recycling as a way to ease the plastic problem. Manufacturing giants claim to be committed to making more of their products and packaging from recycled materials. However, this confidence masks (掩饰) a complex web of issues around plastic recycling. Recycling rates remain extremely low and critics argue that we should look at alternative ways to tackle plastic pollution. While many plastics have the potential to be recycled, most are not because the process is costly, complicated and the resulting product of a lower quality than the original. Despite rising demand for recycled plastic, few waste companies turn a profit. Part of this is because virgin plastic-linked to oil prices - is often cheaper than recycled plastic, meaning there is little economic incentive to use it. Worse yet, much of our plastic waste is difficult to recycle. Lightweight food packaging, like a mozzarella packet, contains different plastics, dyes and toxic additives (添加剂). This dirty mix means plastic recycled through mechanical methods- the most common form- can only be melted down and moulded (浇铸,塑造) again a couple of times before it becomes too fragile to be reused. And the nature of the process means plastic recycling has a carbon footprint of its own. Given all of these difficulties, environmental critics say recycling is not the solution-and argue that creating more products from recycled material to attract environmental consciousness merely worsens the problem. “The solution is to use less plastic and to stop misleading the public about the recyclability,” says Enck, president of Beyond Plastics, a US campaign group with a mission to end single-use plastic. “They should stop making false claims about the recyclability of plastics since they know most will either be littered (乱扔) or burned or landfilled (填埋). Using less plastics means shifting to reusable products and relying more on paper, cardboard, glass and metal- -all of which should be made from recycled content.” 28. What is an environmentally conscious customer’s attitude towards recycling plastics? A. Suspicious. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Disapproving. 29. What does the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. motive. B. issue. C. crisis. D. policy. 30. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The recycling process of plastics. B. Pollutants contained in recycled plastics. C. Reasons why users dislike recycled plastics. D. Contributing factors to low plastic recycling rates. 31. What will the environmental critics be happy to see according to the text? A. Using metal or glass food containers. B. Littering recycled plastics in a landfill. C. Processing plastics in a mechanical way. D. Launching campaigns to promote recyclability. D I often catch myself asking my questions to AI chatbots with a “please” and a “thank you.” Apparently, I am not alone. A 2024 survey found that approximately 67% of U.S. AI users are also polite and show gratitude toward AI search engines. Some even joked about the cost: if every polite word consumes electricity, the bill must be high. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman replied: “Tens of millions of dollars well spent — you never know.” In reality, of course, AI chatbots do not appreciate politeness; they lack consciousness, feelings or social needs. From a purely utilitarian (功利主义的) standpoint, all those pleases and thank yous are just flushing money down the toilet. Still, there may be value that isn’t immediately measurable in showing gratitude toward AI. Psychologists Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough carried out an experiment in which they divided participants into three groups, asking the first to list things they are grateful for, while others listed daily troubles or simply kept journals. After 10 weeks, they found that the first group reported 25% higher happiness levels, stronger inner strength and even better physical health. What’s true of gratitude is also true of kindness and generosity more generally. Experiments at UC Riverside found that performing “five small acts of kindness per week” produced steady increases in happiness. This idea isn’t new. The medieval thinker Maimonides wrote that “it is better for a person to give one coin to a thousand poor people than to give a thousand coins to one poor person.” He believed that regular acts of goodness, like giving charity and expressing gratitude, make us happier in the long run by turning virtue into a habit. So perhaps all of our pleases and thank yous to AI have value, even if they cost OpenAI millions of dollars annually. Showing appreciation, even toward a machine, reinforces positive habits of courtesy (礼貌), patience and empathy. In our increasingly digital and automated world, preserving these human qualities may be more valuable than the cost of a little extra electricity. Ultimately, the beneficiary of our politeness isn’t the AI at all, but ourselves. 32. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By quoting an expert. B. By telling a story. C. By presenting a phenomenon. D. By defining a concept. 33. What value of gratitude does the experiment in paragraph 3 show? A. It strengthens our bodies and minds. B. It reduces daily stress levels. C. It improves memory and creativity. D. It deepens social relationships. 34. Which of the following would Maimonides most likely approve of? A. Giving gifts to friends on birthdays. B. Making a large donation to a charity. C. Expressing gratitude on Thanksgiving Day. D. Volunteering weekly at a community kitchen. 35. What message does the author mainly convey in the text? A. Courtesy to AI saves electricity bills. B. AI improves the quality of human life. C. Politeness benefits humans rather than AI. D. AI learns empathy from human behavior. 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。 As our dogs enter their golden years, what they need for their continued comfort and happiness will change.____36____ It involves a comprehensive approach that covers their changing health, mobility and emotional well-being.
