At the age of 10, this was the beginning of his love for literature and poetry. Growing up, he would arrange book club gatherings with friends. In his teens, he would organize book fairs. After university, he worked in journalism. In his 20s, he had already envisioned his dream retirement plan: open a bookshop. When earthquakes struck his hometown of Adiyaman, Türkiye, in 2023 and left a trail of destruction, little did he know that his retirement plan would be carried out decades early. “I lost many relatives and saw many horrible things,” Muhammed recalled. “We all had to come together as neighbours, as a community.” As part of recovery plans, authorities constructed a “social market” in the town centre — where various shops would fit residents’ needs and revive economic activity. Included in the plan was a bookshop. Muhammed, already known in his community as a bibliophile, was selected to lead this effort and provided by the Turkish Red Crescent with a first set of books. “I started from zero. Everything was destroyed after the earthquakes.” Despite the uphill battle, Muhammed was driven by his belief that books could aid in his community’s collective healing. Starting with old iron shelves, Muhammed wanted to transform his bookshop into a more charming and comfortable environment. Through the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) cash grant programme, Muhammed was able to purchase new bookshelves. Almost a year since he opened the bookshop, Muhammed is happy with where life has taken him. “I love this business. I’m happy being around books. I meet people of all walks of life and have a unique relationship with each of my customers.” Muhammed is also involved in efforts to re-establish public libraries, named in memory of literature teachers who lost their lives during the earthquakes. Through this, he hopes to make books more accessible. Each day, Muhammed hopes that his customers are captured into a new world of healing and hope amidst the tragedy. 4. Why did Muhammed open his bookshop earlier than planned? A. He lost his job after the earthquakes. B. His neighbours offered him free books. C. The earthquakes generated a need for recovery. D. Local charities asked him to organize a market. 5. What does the underlined word “bibliophile” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Story teller. B. Book lover. C. Aid provider. D. Group leader. 6. What would Muhammed’s customers probably think of him? A. Profit-motivated. B. Community-minded. C. Peace-loving. D. Fame-seeking. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Healing Page by Page B. Retiring Early, Living Freely Finally C. Rescuing Hand in Hand D. Forgetting Sadness, Gaining Support C The ants are violent predatory (食肉的) animals, eating other insects, sometimes even frogs, lizards and birds. But what’s even more remarkable about them is their architectural skills. Commonly found in Central America, South America and Africa, the ants search forest floors in long hunting lines. When they encounter a gap between leaves or branches, they build a bridge, linking themselves together like a group of monkeys. “The workers will string themselves across that gap, and then other workers will walk on top of them,” Isabella Muratore, an expert at the New Jersey Institute of Technology told NPR. “Basically, they create shortcuts to make things easier for the other ants or just to allow them to travel across something that they otherwise couldn’t.” Muratore studied the ants’ decision-making by intentionally placing objects which block their way. She said the ants build bridges where they get the greatest benefit for the least amount of bodies, and she identified a sweet spot where the gap is large enough to justify building a bridge, but not so large that it takes too many ants to do so. She also found that a string of bridges can influence how much ant power the ants are willing to invest in each individual bridge. Importantly, despite individually having small brains, the ants collectively weigh the costs and benefits of a bridge, Muratore said. David Hu, a professor of engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, said “this type of research is casting new light on the collective intelligence of army ants.” He compares the individual ants to “neurons (神经元) in a big moving brain.” with no singular ant deciding where to build bridges. The collective decision making of ants also has implications for human technology. Engineers have already applied such behaviors learned from ant research to building algorithms (算法) for self-assembling robots. “Ants are kind of existence proof that such robots would actually be able to survive and have a lot of interesting problems to solve in the real world.” Hu said. “Ants are really capable at solving these things with really, really little brainpower.” 8. How do ants build bridges when facing gaps? A. By piling up surrounding stones. B. By connecting their bodies. C. By requiring workers to string them. D. By collecting leaves and branches. 9. When building bridges, the ants consider the following factors EXCEPT ______ . A. The time they build a bridge B. The size of the gap C. The ant power they invest D. The number of bridges 10. What does “a big moving brain” refer to in paragraph 4? A. A special brain. B. The brains of ants. C. The ant army. D. The bridge built by ants. 11. Which saying best describes the ant-inspired robots’ working principle? A. Marching ants bring pouring rain. B. Too many cooks ruin the soup. C. Many hands make light work. D. Think twice before you act. D Recent research suggests that using digital devices like smartphones and tablets might actually help protect brain function in older adults rather than harm it. A review of 57 studies involving over 400,000 people aged 50 and older found that those who regularly used technology showed slower mental decline compared to those who used it less. These findings, published in Nature Human Behaviour, challenge concerns that screen time causes “digital dementia”. Scientists analyzed data from adults worldwide, with an average age of 69, who had taken cognitive (认知的) tests or received memory-related tests. Results showed no proof that a lifetime of using digital technology drives mental decline. Rather, they found that using a computer, smartphone, the internet or some combination of these was associated with a lower risk of cognitive issues. However, researchers warn that the relationship isn’t fully understood. It’s possible that people with more incisive minds are more likely to use technology, but tech might also provide brain-boosting benefits. “We think the three Cs might be important: complexity, connection and compensatory (补偿的) behaviours,” Dr. Jared Benge told the Guardian. Digital tools could help people engage in complex activities and boost their social connections, both of which appeared to be good for the ageing brain, he said. The technology also allowed people to compensate for cognitive decline and function more easily, for example by using GPS to find their way or setting reminders to pay bills or take medicines, he added. He also emphasized that how devices are used matters. Passive activities like watching shows may not help, but mentally stimulating tasks — learning new apps, researching topics, or staying socially connected — likely play a positive role. Sam Gilbert, a professor of cognitive neuroscience at University College London, said the study showed “a clear link” between digital technology usage and preserved cognitive ability in older age. “The explanation for this link is still not fully clear: we cannot be sure whether technology usage itself preserves cognitive ability, whether preserved cognitive ability leads to more frequent use of technology, or — most likely — some combination of the two. Nevertheless, this work suggests that using digital technology can be good for brain health.” 12. What can you learn about “digital dementia”? A. It refers to technology-related memory or thinking problems. B. It shows the effect of digital devices on users’ physical health. C. It implies slower mental decline by using technology regularly. D. It describes a special phenomenon of employing digital devices. 13. What does the underline word “incisive” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Brilliant. B. Sharp. C. Optimistic. D. Suspicious. 14. According to Jared Benge, why does using digital devices benefit the elderly? A. It can free them from their social contacts. B. Digital devices usage can rid them of complex activities. C. Using digital devices to learn new skills can stimulate their minds. D. Digital devices usage can boost their brain function to a higher level. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Using digital device is a necessity to brain development. B. Preserved cognitive ability leads to using digital devices. C. Technology usage protects brain function and cognitive ability. D. More research is needed to further explain the research findings. 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。 The measurement most often used to assess a good night’s sleep is the number of hours of shuteye we get. And of course, getting plenty of sleep is definitely important. ____16____ That’s according to a new study published in the journal Sleep. ____17____ Even people who manage to sleep consistently for seven to eight hours each night, but who keep irregular schedules, are at a higher risk of strokes, heart attacks and cancer than those who slept fewer hours, but maintained a more consistent schedule. ____18____ The findings of the study show that those who got under six hours of sleep, or over nine, each night were at an increased risk, too. Researchers analyzed sleep data from almost 61,000 people in the UK Biobank, a biomedical database tracking the health of half a million people in the UK. ____19____ Using advanced algorithms (算法) to study sleep patterns and tracking people’s death rates over an average of 6.3 years, they identified the factors linked to a higher risk of early death. Overall, the people who had the most consistent sleep-wake times had up to a 48-per-cent lower risk of all-cause death compared to those with the least consistent routines. ____20____ Given the risks, they believe advice should focus not just on getting enough sleep, but on maintaining a regular schedule for better overall health. A. They put forward a sleep pattern for these people to follow. B. However, we should pay more attention to our sleep routine. C. In total, they examined more than 10 million hours of recorded sleep. D. Now, this doesn’t mean you need to sleep only a few hours every night. E. It suggests that one’s sleep regularity is a stronger predictor of death risk. F. It questions whether one gets plenty of sleep is closely related to his health. G. The researchers hope these findings will help update public health guidelines. 第三部分 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) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “Hey, ChatGPT, how many R’s are there in the word ‘strawberry’?” “Two.” “Count again. S-T-R, that’s one R; A-W-B-E-R-R, that’s two more R’s. Three R’s ____21____.” “I ____22____ what you did there! You split up the word to make it seem like there are three R’s. ____23____ when you count the actual letters in the word ‘strawberry,’ there are still just two R’s. It’s a fun twist (小伎俩), though!” But it’s not — it’s just a hard ____24____. Sadly, whatever I said to it, ChatGPT insisted that there were two R’s in “strawberry.” The chatbot ____25____ that “The R in ‘straw’ is part of the word, so it doesn’t change the ____26____ count of R’s in ‘strawberry.’” While this kind of deep thinking may be ____27____ during chats after a long school day, it’s not great for a high-tech tool that’s meant to ____28____ the workplace. After quite a lot of ____29____, I finally got ChatGPT to work. “Can you spell it out for me and count the R’s as you go along?” I asked. “Sure, let’s spell it out and count together: S-T-R, that’s one R; A-W-B-E-R-R, that’s the second R; R, and that’s the third R. So, you’re ____30____. When you count in this way, there are three R’s.” All of this is due to the way the large language model (LLM) algorithms (算法) ____31____ AI tools like ChatGPT. Although these LLMs are ____32____ on a huge amount of data, at the end of the day this ____33____ means they have “seen a lot of stuff.” Somewhere in that stuff is enough ____34____ for an AI tool to define what a word means, or to know what R is. But it can’t understand the “stuff” ____35____ human beings. This is partly why AI chatbots may “hallucinate (产生幻觉)” when they haven’t got the answer to a question. 21.

Though she was small and thin, she loved helping with housework, especially feeding the horses in their big barn (畜棚). One side of the barn housed the horse stalls (马厩), while the other side was piled with hay bales (干草捆) for feeding. One afternoon, Callie went into the barn to feed the horses. As she walked towards the tall stacks of hay, she suddenly stopped. A tiny, weak sound came through the dusty air. Meow... meow...  Her heart jumped. A kitten must be trapped in the hay! Breathing hard, she ran back to find Ben and her father. “Dad! Ben! Come quick! A kitten is stuck in the hay!” she called urgently. Ben sighed, putting down his tools. Her father looked doubtful. “Probably just the wind, Callie,” he said gently. But they followed her to the barn. They stood quietly near the hay stacks, listening. The barn was silent. “Hear anything?” Ben asked. Their father shook his head. “Nothing, sweetheart. Maybe it was just a mouse. Don’t worry about it.” Disappointed, Callie watched them leave. After dinner, Callie slipped back to the barn, determined. She stood still, listening attentively. And there it was again! Meow... meow... Weaker now, but clear. She raced back to the house. Her father was watching TV. “Dad, please!” she pleaded (恳求). “I heard it again! It is a kitten! Please, just come check one more time?” He looked unwilling but saw the real worry in her eyes. “Alright, alright, one last look.” He returned a few minutes later. “Callie, I listened hard. All I heard was an owl outside. No kitten. Try not to worry.” He gave her a tired smile. “Thanks for checking, Dad.” Callie whispered, though she still felt uneasy. 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。 That night, Callie woke up suddenly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I have no choice but to get help!” Callie thought to herself. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 扬大附中东部分校2025-2026学年第二学期高二年级学科练习 英语学科试题 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

When earthquakes struck his hometown of Adiyaman, Türkiye, in 2023 and left a trail of destruction, little did he know that his retirement plan would be carried out decades early. “I lost many relatives and saw many horrible things,” Muhammed recalled. “We all had to come together as neighbours, as a community.” As part of recovery plans, authorities constructed a “social market” in the town centre — where various shops would fit residents’ needs and revive economic activity. Included in the plan was a bookshop. Muhammed, already known in his community as a bibliophile, was selected to lead this effort and provided by the Turkish Red Crescent with a first set of books. “I started from zero. Everything was destroyed after the earthquakes.” Despite the uphill battle, Muhammed was driven by his belief that books could aid in his community’s collective healing. Starting with old iron shelves, Muhammed wanted to transform his bookshop into a more charming and comfortable environment. Through the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) cash grant programme, Muhammed was able to purchase new bookshelves. Almost a year since he opened the bookshop, Muhammed is happy with where life has taken him. “I love this business. I’m happy being around books. I meet people of all walks of life and have a unique relationship with each of my customers.” Muhammed is also involved in efforts to re-establish public libraries, named in memory of literature teachers who lost their lives during the earthquakes. Through this, he hopes to make books more accessible. Each day, Muhammed hopes that his customers are captured into a new world of healing and hope amidst the tragedy. 4. Why did Muhammed open his bookshop earlier than planned? A. He lost his job after the earthquakes. B. His neighbours offered him free books. C. The earthquakes generated a need for recovery. D. Local charities asked him to organize a market. 5. What does the underlined word “bibliophile” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Story teller. B. Book lover. C. Aid provider. D. Group leader. 6. What would Muhammed’s customers probably think of him? A. Profit-motivated. B. Community-minded. C. Peace-loving. D. Fame-seeking. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Healing Page by Page B. Retiring Early, Living Freely Finally C. Rescuing Hand in Hand D. Forgetting Sadness, Gaining Support 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述 Muhammed 在地震后提前开书店帮助社区疗愈的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When earthquakes struck his hometown of Adiyaman, Türkiye, in 2023 and left a trail of destruction, little did he know that his retirement plan would be carried out decades early. (2023年，土耳其阿迪亚曼发生地震，造成一系列破坏，他不知道自己的退休计划会提前几十年实施。)”以及第三段中“As part of recovery plans, authorities constructed a “social market” in the town centre — where various shops would fit residents’ needs and revive economic activity. Included in the plan was a bookshop. (作为恢复计划的一部分，当局在市中心建造了一个“社会市场”——各种商店将满足居民的需求，并振兴经济活动。计划中包括一家书店。)”可知，Muhammed比原计划更早地开了书店是因为地震产生了恢复重建的需求。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“In his teens, he would organize book fairs. After university, he worked in journalism. In his 20s, he had already envisioned his dream retirement plan: open a bookshop. (十几岁时，他会组织书展。大学毕业后，他从事新闻工作。20多岁时，他已经设想好了自己梦想中的退休计划：开一家书店。)”以及第三段中“Muhammed, already known in his community as a bibliophile, was selected to lead this effort and provided by the Turkish Red Crescent with a first set of books. (穆罕默德在社区里早已以bibliophile闻名，他被选中负责书店的筹建工作，土耳其红新月会还为他提供了第一批书籍。)”可知，Muhammed从小就热爱书籍，长大后也一直从事与书籍相关的工作，甚至梦想退休后开一家书店，因此他在社区里以爱书而闻名，被选中领导书店的开设工作，并得到了土耳其红新月会提供的第一批书籍。由此可知，bibliophile意思是“爱书的人，书迷”。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Despite the uphill battle, Muhammed was driven by his belief that books could aid in his community’s collective healing. (尽管困难重重，但穆罕默德坚信书籍能够帮助社区实现集体疗愈，这激励着他不断前行。)”可知，Muhammed开书店是为了帮助社区疗愈，具有社区服务意识。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Each day, Muhammed hopes that his customers are captured into a new world of healing and hope amidst the tragedy. (每一天，Muhammed都希望他的顾客能在悲剧中进入一个疗愈和希望的新世界。)”可知，文章主要讲述了Muhammed因地震提前开书店，用书籍帮助社区疗愈的故事。可知，A选项“Healing Page by Page (一页一页地疗愈)”最符合文章标题。故选A。 C The ants are violent predatory (食肉的) animals, eating other insects, sometimes even frogs, lizards and birds. But what’s even more remarkable about them is their architectural skills. Commonly found in Central America, South America and Africa, the ants search forest floors in long hunting lines. When they encounter a gap between leaves or branches, they build a bridge, linking themselves together like a group of monkeys. “The workers will string themselves across that gap, and then other workers will walk on top of them,” Isabella Muratore, an expert at the New Jersey Institute of Technology told NPR. “Basically, they create shortcuts to make things easier for the other ants or just to allow them to travel across something that they otherwise couldn’t.” Muratore studied the ants’ decision-making by intentionally placing objects which block their way. She said the ants build bridges where they get the greatest benefit for the least amount of bodies, and she identified a sweet spot where the gap is large enough to justify building a bridge, but not so large that it takes too many ants to do so. She also found that a string of bridges can influence how much ant power the ants are willing to invest in each individual bridge. Importantly, despite individually having small brains, the ants collectively weigh the costs and benefits of a bridge, Muratore said. David Hu, a professor of engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, said “this type of research is casting new light on the collective intelligence of army ants.” He compares the individual ants to “neurons (神经元) in a big moving brain.” with no singular ant deciding where to build bridges. The collective decision making of ants also has implications for human technology. Engineers have already applied such behaviors learned from ant research to building algorithms (算法) for self-assembling robots. “Ants are kind of existence proof that such robots would actually be able to survive and have a lot of interesting problems to solve in the real world.” Hu said. “Ants are really capable at solving these things with really, really little brainpower.” 8. How do ants build bridges when facing gaps? A. By piling up surrounding stones. B. By connecting their bodies. C. By requiring workers to string them. D. By collecting leaves and branches. 9. When building bridges, the ants consider the following factors EXCEPT ______ . A. The time they build a bridge B. The size of the gap C. The ant power they invest D. The number of bridges 10. What does “a big moving brain” refer to in paragraph 4? A. A special brain. B. The brains of ants. C. The ant army. D. The bridge built by ants. 11. Which saying best describes the ant-inspired robots’ working principle? A. Marching ants bring pouring rain. B. Too many cooks ruin the soup. C. Many hands make light work. D. Think twice before you act. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了蚂蚁的捕食特性以及它们在建筑方面的技能，尤其是它们如何集体决策来建造桥梁，以及这种行为对人类技术的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When they encounter a gap between leaves or branches, they build a bridge, linking themselves together like a group of monkeys. (当它们遇到树叶或树枝之间的缝隙时，它们会建造一座桥，像一群猴子一样把自己连接在一起。)”可知，蚂蚁在遇到缝隙时会通过连接自己的身体来建造桥梁。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She said the ants build bridges where they get the greatest benefit for the least amount of bodies, and she identified a sweet spot where the gap is large enough to justify building a bridge, but not so large that it takes too many ants to do so. She also found that a string of bridges can influence how much ant power the ants are willing to invest in each individual bridge. (她说，蚂蚁会在以最少的蚂蚁数量获得最大利益的地方建造桥梁，她发现了一个最佳点，即缝隙足够大，足以证明建造桥梁是合理的，但又不会大到需要太多蚂蚁来建造。她还发现，一连串的桥梁会影响蚂蚁愿意在每座桥梁上投入多少蚂蚁力量。)”可知，蚂蚁在建造桥梁时会考虑缝隙的大小、投入的蚂蚁力量以及桥梁的数量，但没有提到考虑建造桥梁的时间。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“David Hu, a professor of engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, said “this type of research is casting new light on the collective intelligence of army ants.” He compares the individual ants to “neurons (神经元) in a big moving brain.” with no singular ant deciding where to build bridges. (佐治亚理工学院工程学教授David Hu说：“这类研究正在揭示行军蚁的集体智慧。”他把单个蚂蚁比作“一个移动的大脑中的神经元”，没有一只蚂蚁决定在哪里建造桥梁。)”可知，David Hu将单个蚂蚁比作一个移动的大脑中的神经元，而整个蚂蚁群体则被比作一个移动的大脑，因此“a big moving brain”指的是蚂蚁大军。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Engineers have already applied such behaviors learned from ant research to building algorithms (算法) for self-assembling robots. “Ants are kind of existence proof that such robots would actually be able to survive and have a lot of interesting problems to solve in the real world.” Hu said. “Ants are really capable at solving these things with really, really little brainpower.” (工程师们已经将从蚂蚁研究中学习到的这种行为应用于构建自组装机器人的算法。“蚂蚁的存在证明了这种机器人实际上能够在现实世界中生存，并有很多有趣的问题需要解决。”Hu说。“蚂蚁真的能够用非常非常少的脑力来解决这些问题。”)”可知，蚂蚁虽然个体脑力有限，但通过集体协作能够完成复杂的任务，这启示我们人多力量大，众人拾柴火焰高。因此，C项“Many hands make light work. (人多好办事。)”最能描述受蚂蚁启发的机器人的工作原理。故选C项。 D Recent research suggests that using digital devices like smartphones and tablets might actually help protect brain function in older adults rather than harm it. A review of 57 studies involving over 400,000 people aged 50 and older found that those who regularly used technology showed slower mental decline compared to those who used it less. These findings, published in Nature Human Behaviour, challenge concerns that screen time causes “digital dementia”. Scientists analyzed data from adults worldwide, with an average age of 69, who had taken cognitive (认知的) tests or received memory-related tests. Results showed no proof that a lifetime of using digital technology drives mental decline. Rather, they found that using a computer, smartphone, the internet or some combination of these was associated with a lower risk of cognitive issues. However, researchers warn that the relationship isn’t fully understood. It’s possible that people with more incisive minds are more likely to use technology, but tech might also provide brain-boosting benefits. “We think the three Cs might be important: complexity, connection and compensatory (补偿的) behaviours,” Dr. Jared Benge told the Guardian. Digital tools could help people engage in complex activities and boost their social connections, both of which appeared to be good for the ageing brain, he said. The technology also allowed people to compensate for cognitive decline and function more easily, for example by using GPS to find their way or setting reminders to pay bills or take medicines, he added. He also emphasized that how devices are used matters. Passive activities like watching shows may not help, but mentally stimulating tasks — learning new apps, researching topics, or staying socially connected — likely play a positive role. Sam Gilbert, a professor of cognitive neuroscience at University College London, said the study showed “a clear link” between digital technology usage and preserved cognitive ability in older age. “The explanation for this link is still not fully clear: we cannot be sure whether technology usage itself preserves cognitive ability, whether preserved cognitive ability leads to more frequent use of technology, or — most likely — some combination of the two. Nevertheless, this work suggests that using digital technology can be good for brain health.” 12. What can you learn about “digital dementia”? A. It refers to technology-related memory or thinking problems. B. It shows the effect of digital devices on users’ physical health. C. It implies slower mental decline by using technology regularly. D. It describes a special phenomenon of employing digital devices. 13. What does the underline word “incisive” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Brilliant. B. Sharp. C. Optimistic. D. Suspicious. 14. According to Jared Benge, why does using digital devices benefit the elderly? A. It can free them from their social contacts. B. Digital devices usage can rid them of complex activities. C. Using digital devices to learn new skills can stimulate their minds. D. Digital devices usage can boost their brain function to a higher level. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Using digital device is a necessity to brain development. B. Preserved cognitive ability leads to using digital devices. C. Technology usage protects brain function and cognitive ability. D. More research is needed to further explain the research findings. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了使用智能手机和平板电脑等数字设备可能有助于保护老年人的大脑功能，而非损害它。研究挑战了关于屏幕时间导致“数字痴呆”的担忧，并分析了数字设备使用与认知能力保护之间的关系。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“These findings, published in Nature Human Behaviour, challenge concerns that screen time causes ‘digital dementia’. (这些发表在《自然·人类行为》上的研究结果挑战了关于屏幕时间导致‘数字痴呆’的担忧)”可知，人们此前担忧屏幕时间会引发与数字设备相关的认知问题，由此可推知“digital dementia”指的是与科技相关的记忆或思维问题。故选A项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“It’s possible that people with more incisive minds are more likely to use technology, but tech might also provide brain-boosting benefits. (拥有更____头脑的人更可能使用科技产品，但科技也可能为大脑提供增强功能的益处)”并结合上下文语境可知，研究指出使用科技与认知能力存在关联，可推测此处指思维更“敏锐”的人更倾向于使用科技设备，incisive与sharp语义相近，意为“敏锐的”。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Passive activities like watching shows may not help, but mentally stimulating tasks—learning new apps, researching topics, or staying socially connected—likely play a positive role. (被动活动如看节目可能没有帮助，但刺激大脑的任务——学习新应用、研究主题或保持社交联系——可能起到积极作用)”可知，Jared Benge认为使用数字设备学习新技能可以刺激老年人的思维。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The explanation for this link is still not fully clear: we cannot be sure whether technology usage itself preserves cognitive ability, whether preserved cognitive ability leads to more frequent use of technology, or–most likely–some combination of the two. (这种关联的解释仍不完全明确：我们无法确定究竟是科技使用本身有助于保持认知能力，还是保持的认知能力导致更频繁地使用科技，亦或——最有可能的是——两者的某种结合)”可知，虽然研究显示了数字技术使用与认知能力保留之间的联系，但具体机制尚未完全明确，需要更多研究来进一步解释这一发现。故选D项。 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。 The measurement most often used to assess a good night’s sleep is the number of hours of shuteye we get. And of course, getting plenty of sleep is definitely important. ____16____ That’s according to a new study published in the journal Sleep. ____17____ Even people who manage to sleep consistently for seven to eight hours each night, but who keep irregular schedules, are at a higher risk of strokes, heart attacks and cancer than those who slept fewer hours, but maintained a more consistent schedule. ____18____ The findings of the study show that those who got under six hours of sleep, or over nine, each night were at an increased risk, too. Researchers analyzed sleep data from almost 61,000 people in the UK Biobank, a biomedical database tracking the health of half a million people in the UK. ____19____ Using advanced algorithms (算法) to study sleep patterns and tracking people’s death rates over an average of 6.3 years, they identified the factors linked to a higher risk of early death. Overall, the people who had the most consistent sleep-wake times had up to a 48-per-cent lower risk of all-cause death compared to those with the least consistent routines. ____20____ Given the risks, they believe advice should focus not just on getting enough sleep, but on maintaining a regular schedule for better overall health. A. They put forward a sleep pattern for these people to follow. B. However, we should pay more attention to our sleep routine. C. In total, they examined more than 10 million hours of recorded sleep. D. Now, this doesn’t mean you need to sleep only a few hours every night. E. It suggests that one’s sleep regularity is a stronger predictor of death risk. F. It questions whether one gets plenty of sleep is closely related to his health. G. The researchers hope these findings will help update public health guidelines. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. D 19. C 20.

You split up the word to make it seem like there are three R’s. ____23____ when you count the actual letters in the word ‘strawberry,’ there are still just two R’s. It’s a fun twist (小伎俩), though!” But it’s not — it’s just a hard ____24____. Sadly, whatever I said to it, ChatGPT insisted that there were two R’s in “strawberry.” The chatbot ____25____ that “The R in ‘straw’ is part of the word, so it doesn’t change the ____26____ count of R’s in ‘strawberry.’” While this kind of deep thinking may be ____27____ during chats after a long school day, it’s not great for a high-tech tool that’s meant to ____28____ the workplace. After quite a lot of ____29____, I finally got ChatGPT to work. “Can you spell it out for me and count the R’s as you go along?” I asked. “Sure, let’s spell it out and count together: S-T-R, that’s one R; A-W-B-E-R-R, that’s the second R; R, and that’s the third R. So, you’re ____30____. When you count in this way, there are three R’s.” All of this is due to the way the large language model (LLM) algorithms (算法) ____31____ AI tools like ChatGPT. Although these LLMs are ____32____ on a huge amount of data, at the end of the day this ____33____ means they have “seen a lot of stuff.” Somewhere in that stuff is enough ____34____ for an AI tool to define what a word means, or to know what R is. But it can’t understand the “stuff” ____35____ human beings. This is partly why AI chatbots may “hallucinate (产生幻觉)” when they haven’t got the answer to a question. 21.

Though she was small and thin, she loved helping with housework, especially feeding the horses in their big barn (畜棚). One side of the barn housed the horse stalls (马厩), while the other side was piled with hay bales (干草捆) for feeding. One afternoon, Callie went into the barn to feed the horses. As she walked towards the tall stacks of hay, she suddenly stopped. A tiny, weak sound came through the dusty air. Meow... meow...  Her heart jumped. A kitten must be trapped in the hay! Breathing hard, she ran back to find Ben and her father. “Dad! Ben! Come quick! A kitten is stuck in the hay!” she called urgently. Ben sighed, putting down his tools. Her father looked doubtful. “Probably just the wind, Callie,” he said gently. But they followed her to the barn. They stood quietly near the hay stacks, listening. The barn was silent. “Hear anything?” Ben asked. Their father shook his head. “Nothing, sweetheart. Maybe it was just a mouse. Don’t worry about it.” Disappointed, Callie watched them leave. After dinner, Callie slipped back to the barn, determined. She stood still, listening attentively. And there it was again! Meow... meow... Weaker now, but clear. She raced back to the house. Her father was watching TV. “Dad, please!” she pleaded (恳求). “I heard it again! It is a kitten! Please, just come check one more time?” He looked unwilling but saw the real worry in her eyes. “Alright, alright, one last look.” He returned a few minutes later. “Callie, I listened hard. All I heard was an owl outside. No kitten. Try not to worry.” He gave her a tired smile. “Thanks for checking, Dad.” Callie whispered, though she still felt uneasy. 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。 That night, Callie woke up suddenly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I have no choice but to get help!” Callie thought to herself. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】That night, Callie woke up suddenly. The weak cries filled her mind. She couldn’t rest. Quietly, she put on her coat, took a flashlight and slipped out. Inside the barn, near the hay stacks, Callie held her breath, listening with full attention. Then, it came: Meow... meow... Her flashlight beam swept across the bales. There! Near the bottom of a tall stack, she spotted a tiny movement-a small patch of gray fur barely visible between two enormous bales. She rushed over and pushed the bales again, but they wouldn’t move. “I have no choice but to get help!” Callie thought to herself. She raced back home and quickly awoke Ben and their father. Seeing Callie’s worried face and absolute certainty, they both hurried with her back to the barn. Working together, Ben and their father carefully moved the heavy hay bales which Callie pointed at. Eventually, a narrow passage was revealed. There was a tiny gray kitten, its eyes wide with fright. Trembling and exhausted, it let out another pitiful meow. Carefully, Callie’s father reached in and gently held the little creature out. Callie’s heart swelled with relief and joy as she looked at the rescued kitten, safe and warm in her father’s large, gentle hands. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述10岁女孩卡莉在农场畜棚听到干草堆里有小猫叫声，两次恳求父亲和哥哥查看遭疑，他们分别认为是风声、老鼠或猫头鹰，卡莉虽失望但仍坚信有小猫被困，内心不安。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段内容“那天晚上，卡莉突然醒来。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：卡莉夜探谷仓，用手电筒发现干草堆底部有小灰猫，推干草捆却推不动。 ②由第二段首句内容“卡莉心想：‘我别无选择，只能找人帮忙！’”可以预测续写这段主要内容：卡莉叫醒父兄帮忙，三人挪开干草捆救出受惊小猫，卡莉见状欣慰喜悦。 2.续写线索：卡莉夜探谷仓——发现小灰猫——寻求父兄帮忙——救出受惊小猫——感到欣慰喜悦 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.休息：rest/take a rest ②.看见：spot/see ③.颤抖：tremble/ shake 情绪类 ①.担心的：worried/concerned ②.快乐：joy/happiness/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1].
