The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads. Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic?” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate. The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings. Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew existed—graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops. Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out—they just multiply possibilities. 24. What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1? A. She had given up the hobby of drawing. B. She was excited about studying medicine. C. She felt torn between art and medical study. D. She regretted not practicing painting earlier. 25. Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora’ s “hidden skills” as ______. A. a plus. B. a leisure. C. a distraction. D. a burden. 26. How did Lora’s hospital experience influence her? A. It helped develop her surgical skills. B. It directed her toward doctor training. C. It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art. D. It convinced her of art’s role in healthcare. 27. What message does the author want to convey? A. Follow the beaten track to success. B. A picture is worth a thousand words. C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D. Two strings to your bow light the way. C During a digital faculty meeting, Brian Scholl, a psychologist and cognitive scientist at Yale University, found himself reacting unexpectedly to two colleagues. One was a close collaborator with whom he usually saw eye-to-eye, while the other was someone he tended to have differing opinions from. On that particular day, though, he found himself siding with the latter. “Everything he said was so rich and resonant,” Scholl recalls. Upon reflection, Scholl realized that there was a key difference between the two men’s messaging: the former used a junky built-in microphone on an old laptop, whereas the latter called in from a professional-grade home-recording studio. Scholl began to suspect that it was the sound quality, rather than the content of their arguments, that had swayed his judgment. Ample research has shown that factors such as confident tones or accents influence how others perceive the speakers. In a hope to see whether this tendency would hold when the only difference was technological distortion, Scholl and his team created audio recordings in which a human voice read one of three scripts. Each script dealt with a different topic: the reader posed as a job applicant, a potential romantic partner or someone describing a car accident. Some recordings were clear; others were manipulated to sound tinny (尖细的) . “If you spend time on Zoom, you probably know tons of people who sound like this,” Scholl says. The researchers recruited 5,000 people online, each of whom listened to one script and then answered simple questions about their judgment of the speaker by rating on a continuous scale. Across all three scripts, participants consistently rated the tinny voices as less hirable, credible and intelligent. The findings speak to the “deep power of perception,” Scholl says, and its ability to make us behave irrationally. “Everybody knows that this kind of auditory manipulation does not reflect on the person,” he says. “But our perception is operating, in some ways, autonomously from higher-level thought.” Nadine Lavan, a psychologist at Queen Mary University of London, says the findings are somewhat expected. “But this doesn’t mean the results are not important,” she says. The study raises questions, she continues, about how much of an effect microphone quality may have in more complicated real-world settings. For example, abstract ratings of being hirable are informative, but real-life decisions include much more complex trading off of different factors. Assuming the findings do hold in the real world, Scholl says the take-away lesson is clear: “You should really find out how you sound to other people online. And if you don’t sound good, take some remedial action,” he says. 28. It is implied in the first two paragraphs that _________. A. Offline relationships shape judgment in digital meetings. B. The use of microphones may give rise to differing views. C. In-person meetings are more reliable than digital ones. D. Technological factors may color listeners’ view. 29. What can we learn about Scholl’s research? A. The script was presented in the original voice. B. It shows perception is subjected to logical thinking. C. Participants believe one’s voice quality matters a lot D. All other factors except sound quality were controlled. 30. As for Scholl’s study, which would Nadine Lavan agree? A. It is somewhat reductive yet meaningful. B. It matters little due to lack of new insights. C. It calls on us to check how we sound to others. D. It challenges existing views on microphone quality. D The Age of Information is mushrooming, perhaps even bulging. If you tried to download all the data available today, you’d need more than 180 million years to do so. But you are wrong to assume that all this information would stimulate a boost of innovation to match the output of data. Indeed, the last time we found ourselves in a period of significant innovation, pursuing the ideas with the biggest spark, was more than 120 years ago, in a period called the Age of Insight. Innovations, both big and small, start with a new idea. Often, these ideas occur as a moment of insight — the result of a novel connection in our brains made between existing and new information. Studies show insights involve quiet signals deep in the brain, just under the surface of awareness. Anything that helps us notice quiet signals, such as taking breaks between meetings, only adopting necessary learning approaches or avoiding distractions like social media, can increase the chance of insights. However, it’s becoming more challenging to find those quiet signals with the increasing use of technology, filling every moment with emergencies and an endless supply of content. Besides, we also want to increase the quality of them — to be able to sort through big new ideas and find the ones that have real value, which can be hard to measure. Launched in 2015, the Eureka Scale allows us to assess the strength of our insight experiences on a five-point scale, which is marked by intense emotions, motivation, memory advantage, aftershocks, and following ideas. The Scale combines these five variables into a single value and allows us to define the importance of a new idea. The level-5, insight, involving the richest emotion, motivation, and lasting impact, holds the greatest significance. Because insights are one of the best ways to drive engagement, innovation, and behavior change, the Eureka Scale has broad applications for measuring and improving individual and organizational performance. More importantly, it can be used to measure the impact of different kinds of work environments and learning approaches on participants’ growth — both in the moment or afterward. In order for organizations to benefit from another age of insight, it’s not enough to try to access more data or increase the number of insights we generate. Instead, it’s about making space for the biggest ideas to emerge from all the information. Using the shared language of the Eureka Scale as a way to measure how important ideas are, relative to each other, will enable better decision-making toward practical and competitive outcomes. And if we’re to enter a new age of insight, we must design our environments to allow for the best insight possible to surface. 31. What does the underlined word “bulging” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Stabilizing. B. Shifting. C. Exploding. D. Collapsing. 32. According to the passage, how can the possibility of insights be increased? A. By stepping away from electronic devices. B. By relying on technology to receive regular notices. C. By engaging in ongoing social media interactions. D. By participating in additional training and coaching sessions. 33. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The Eureka Scale controls the influence of our insights. B. A breakthrough has been made in innovation due to a wealth of information. C. Possessing minimal emotional responses is a level-5 insight. D. Both the quantity and quality of insights are essential to innovation. 34. What is the author’s attitude towards the current environment for innovations? A. Uncertain. B. Dissatisfied. C. Unconcerned. D. Optimistic. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We’ve all been there — one minute, we’re checking the news for an update, and the next, we’re waist-deep in a flood of negative news. This compulsive need to scroll through bad news or information, known as doomscrolling, has recently become an all-too-common habit. ___35___ Psychologists have been studying how this behavior affects our cognitive functions, emotional well-being, and even our ability to focus on the things that matter in our daily lives. The result? Doomscrolling isn’t just a means to pass the time — it’s actively harming our mental health. ___36___ Instead of making us feel prepared and informed, consuming bad news nonstop actually makes us feel more helpless. For people who already struggle with anxiety or depression, doomscrolling can become a maladaptive coping mechanism — a way to seek control over uncontrollable situations. ___37___ Beyond the obvious stress and anxiety, doomscrolling messes with how we think. It wreaks havoc on our attention span. The brain starts craving constant stimulation, making it harder to focus on tasks that aren’t delivering the same emotional hit. ___38___ Doomscrolling overloads our brain. Constant exposure to distressing content fills up our working memory, leaving little room for productive thinking or problem-solving. So, how can we break free from the doomscrolling trap? Altogether, avoiding all bad news isn’t the answer. A wiser choice is to develop healthier digital habits. We can begin by scheduling a specific time to check the news. Meanwhile, focus on what we consume: follow reputable sources and mute accounts that thrive on outrage and fear. For every negative story, seek something uplifting or informative to balance the content. ___39___ Donate, discuss the topic with a trusted friend, or volunteer for a cause. A. It is not surprising that anxiety is on the rise. B. Unfortunately, instead of helping, it feeds the stress cycle. C. We can reclaim our focus, mental health, and peace of mind. D. No wonder reading a book feels harder than scrolling social media. E. If a news story indeed upsets us, we can look for real-world ways to contribute. F. Studies show that doomscrollers reported higher levels of anxiety and depression. G. While staying informed matters, constant exposure to negativity does us no favors. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 As a kid, I dreamed of becoming a marine biologist and I lived out this fantasy by setting up aquariums(鱼缸) at home. Then, at 20, I was introduced to photographer David Liittschwager, who hired me to help him with a magazine assignment on marine life. David’s assignment was to document the amazing biodiversity found in the ocean. My role was to collect species for him to photograph. Every night, I would cast a floating lamp. Like moths drawn to a flame, mysterious creatures would emerge from the depths in search of this light. I’d then set up aquariums to house them as they waited for David to take their shot. Those evenings made me feel as if I were on another planet. I had never imagined such strange life-forms could exist in our oceans. But I didn’t grasp the true magic of what was in front of me until I saw the photographs David took. The biggest surprise was his image of a baby flounder. I caught this fish by accident. Only later did I notice its two tiny eyeballs staring back at me. But David’s photograph of this flounder revealed a universe of detail that even my eager eyes had missed. His macro lens magnified its ribs. The lightning-fast exposure froze its motion. A precisely aimed light released the rainbow hidden in its skin. And the black background removed all distractions to focus our attention on the quiet beauty at hand. Years after that project, I was snorkeling(潜水) on a shallow reef. Out of the darkness, another baby flounder emerged and settled on my mask. This time I knew what to look for. Before working for David, I had assumed the goal of photography was simply to reproduce an observation so that others could share the same experience. It had never occurred to me that photography could expand our visual perception and therefore teach us to see the world anew. 40. What was the author’s responsibility in David’s assignment? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. Why was David’s image of a baby flounder the biggest surprise to the author? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶Encountering a baby flounder while snorkeling deepened the author’s understanding that photography could reproduce an observation. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 43.

The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads. Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic?” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate. The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings. Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew existed—graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops. Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out—they just multiply possibilities. 24. What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1? A. She had given up the hobby of drawing. B. She was excited about studying medicine. C. She felt torn between art and medical study. D. She regretted not practicing painting earlier. 25. Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora’ s “hidden skills” as ______. A. a plus. B. a leisure. C. a distraction. D. a burden. 26. How did Lora’s hospital experience influence her? A. It helped develop her surgical skills. B. It directed her toward doctor training. C. It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art. D. It convinced her of art’s role in healthcare. 27. What message does the author want to convey? A. Follow the beaten track to success. B. A picture is worth a thousand words. C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D. Two strings to your bow light the way. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了 Lora 在艺术和医学学习之间感到纠结，后来在学校职业招聘会、医院志愿者活动等经历的影响下，发现自己的艺术技能在医疗领域有独特的作用，从而将两者结合起来的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段““Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.(“艺术滋养灵魂，但会饿肚子”妈妈总是这么说。当我的生物课本慢慢把我的画本掩埋时，她的话萦绕在我心头)” 可知，Lora 在艺术和医学学习之间难以抉择，感到很纠结。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations.(哈佛大学的埃莉诺·惠特曼博士让我们列出自己的“隐藏技能”。当我写下“观察细节”时，我的手在颤抖——这是我从画花瓣中学到的。“这是医学研究最需要的技能！”她大声说道，并分享了一个学生如何将微生物学笔记变成教科书插图的故事)” 可知，Dr. Eleanor 认为 Lora 的 “隐藏技能” 是一个优势。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said.(在观看手术时，我注意到了一些事情 —— 医生稳定的手让我想起了我的绘画技巧。当一个男孩难以描述他的疼痛时，我在他的石膏上画了一条喷火的龙。护士说：“你让医学有了声音”)” 可推知，Lora 在医院的经历让她确信艺术在医疗保健中有作用。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out—they just multiply possibilities.(如今，我的显微镜和画笔共用一张桌子。曾经在它们之间犹豫不决的手，现在为疫苗教育制作病毒的 3D 模型。有时我教年轻的病人画出他们的感受，而不是描述它们。我的故事不是关于内心和现实相互抵消 —— 它们只是增加了可能性)” 可知，文章主要传达了拥有两种技能（艺术和医学知识）可以照亮人生道路，带来更多可能性的信息。所以文章传达了“双管齐下，照亮道路”。故选D。 C During a digital faculty meeting, Brian Scholl, a psychologist and cognitive scientist at Yale University, found himself reacting unexpectedly to two colleagues. One was a close collaborator with whom he usually saw eye-to-eye, while the other was someone he tended to have differing opinions from. On that particular day, though, he found himself siding with the latter. “Everything he said was so rich and resonant,” Scholl recalls. Upon reflection, Scholl realized that there was a key difference between the two men’s messaging: the former used a junky built-in microphone on an old laptop, whereas the latter called in from a professional-grade home-recording studio. Scholl began to suspect that it was the sound quality, rather than the content of their arguments, that had swayed his judgment. Ample research has shown that factors such as confident tones or accents influence how others perceive the speakers. In a hope to see whether this tendency would hold when the only difference was technological distortion, Scholl and his team created audio recordings in which a human voice read one of three scripts. Each script dealt with a different topic: the reader posed as a job applicant, a potential romantic partner or someone describing a car accident. Some recordings were clear; others were manipulated to sound tinny (尖细的) . “If you spend time on Zoom, you probably know tons of people who sound like this,” Scholl says. The researchers recruited 5,000 people online, each of whom listened to one script and then answered simple questions about their judgment of the speaker by rating on a continuous scale. Across all three scripts, participants consistently rated the tinny voices as less hirable, credible and intelligent. The findings speak to the “deep power of perception,” Scholl says, and its ability to make us behave irrationally. “Everybody knows that this kind of auditory manipulation does not reflect on the person,” he says. “But our perception is operating, in some ways, autonomously from higher-level thought.” Nadine Lavan, a psychologist at Queen Mary University of London, says the findings are somewhat expected. “But this doesn’t mean the results are not important,” she says. The study raises questions, she continues, about how much of an effect microphone quality may have in more complicated real-world settings. For example, abstract ratings of being hirable are informative, but real-life decisions include much more complex trading off of different factors. Assuming the findings do hold in the real world, Scholl says the take-away lesson is clear: “You should really find out how you sound to other people online. And if you don’t sound good, take some remedial action,” he says. 28. It is implied in the first two paragraphs that _________. A. Offline relationships shape judgment in digital meetings. B. The use of microphones may give rise to differing views. C. In-person meetings are more reliable than digital ones. D. Technological factors may color listeners’ view. 29. What can we learn about Scholl’s research? A. The script was presented in the original voice. B. It shows perception is subjected to logical thinking. C. Participants believe one’s voice quality matters a lot D. All other factors except sound quality were controlled. 30. As for Scholl’s study, which would Nadine Lavan agree? A. It is somewhat reductive yet meaningful. B. It matters little due to lack of new insights. C. It calls on us to check how we sound to others. D. It challenges existing views on microphone quality. 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍耶鲁大学学者的研究发现线上会议的麦克风音质等技术因素，会影响人们对他人的主观判断，并探讨该研究的价值与现实局限。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Scholl began to suspect that it was the sound quality, rather than the content of their arguments, that had swayed his judgment.(朔尔开始怀疑，是音质而非辩论内容影响了他的判断)”可知，前两段暗示技术因素可能影响听者的看法。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In a hope to see whether this tendency would hold when the only difference was technological distortion, Scholl and his team created audio recordings in which a human voice read one of three scripts. Each script dealt with a different topic: the reader posed as a job applicant, a potential romantic partner or someone describing a car accident. Some recordings were clear; others were manipulated to sound tinny (尖细的).(为了探究当唯一差异是技术失真时，这种倾向是否依然存在，朔尔和他的团队录制了音频，由同一人朗读三份文稿。三份文稿主题各不相同，朗读者分别扮演求职者、潜在交往对象以及车祸事件描述者。部分音频音质清晰，其余则被处理成尖细的音效)”可知，研究仅改变音质，控制了音质以外的所有变量。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The researchers recruited 5,000 people online, each of whom listened to one script and then answered simple questions about their judgment of the speaker by rating on a continuous scale.(研究人员线上招募五千名受试者，每人收听一段文稿后，依据连续评分标准作答，给出对发言者的评价)”可知，实验做的是简单的抽象评价，结合第五段“Nadine Lavan, a psychologist at Queen Mary University of London, says the findings are somewhat expected. “But this doesn’t mean the results are not important,” she says. The study raises questions, she continues, about how much of an effect microphone quality may have in more complicated real-world settings. For example, abstract ratings of being hirable are informative, but real-life decisions include much more complex trading off of different factors.(伦敦玛丽女王大学的心理学家纳丁·拉文表示，这些发现在某种程度上是意料之中的。她说道：“但这并不意味着这些结果不重要。”她接着指出，这项研究引发了关于在更为复杂的真实环境中的麦克风质量究竟会产生多大影响的疑问。例如，对是否具备聘用资格的抽象评价是有参考价值的，但现实生活中的决策则需要综合考虑更多复杂的因素进行权衡)”可知，纳丁·拉文认为该研究略显简化但具有意义。 D The Age of Information is mushrooming, perhaps even bulging. If you tried to download all the data available today, you’d need more than 180 million years to do so. But you are wrong to assume that all this information would stimulate a boost of innovation to match the output of data. Indeed, the last time we found ourselves in a period of significant innovation, pursuing the ideas with the biggest spark, was more than 120 years ago, in a period called the Age of Insight. Innovations, both big and small, start with a new idea. Often, these ideas occur as a moment of insight — the result of a novel connection in our brains made between existing and new information. Studies show insights involve quiet signals deep in the brain, just under the surface of awareness. Anything that helps us notice quiet signals, such as taking breaks between meetings, only adopting necessary learning approaches or avoiding distractions like social media, can increase the chance of insights. However, it’s becoming more challenging to find those quiet signals with the increasing use of technology, filling every moment with emergencies and an endless supply of content. Besides, we also want to increase the quality of them — to be able to sort through big new ideas and find the ones that have real value, which can be hard to measure. Launched in 2015, the Eureka Scale allows us to assess the strength of our insight experiences on a five-point scale, which is marked by intense emotions, motivation, memory advantage, aftershocks, and following ideas. The Scale combines these five variables into a single value and allows us to define the importance of a new idea. The level-5, insight, involving the richest emotion, motivation, and lasting impact, holds the greatest significance. Because insights are one of the best ways to drive engagement, innovation, and behavior change, the Eureka Scale has broad applications for measuring and improving individual and organizational performance. More importantly, it can be used to measure the impact of different kinds of work environments and learning approaches on participants’ growth — both in the moment or afterward. In order for organizations to benefit from another age of insight, it’s not enough to try to access more data or increase the number of insights we generate. Instead, it’s about making space for the biggest ideas to emerge from all the information. Using the shared language of the Eureka Scale as a way to measure how important ideas are, relative to each other, will enable better decision-making toward practical and competitive outcomes. And if we’re to enter a new age of insight, we must design our environments to allow for the best insight possible to surface. 31. What does the underlined word “bulging” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Stabilizing. B. Shifting. C. Exploding. D. Collapsing. 32. According to the passage, how can the possibility of insights be increased? A. By stepping away from electronic devices. B. By relying on technology to receive regular notices. C. By engaging in ongoing social media interactions. D. By participating in additional training and coaching sessions. 33. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The Eureka Scale controls the influence of our insights. B. A breakthrough has been made in innovation due to a wealth of information. C. Possessing minimal emotional responses is a level-5 insight. D. Both the quantity and quality of insights are essential to innovation. 34. What is the author’s attitude towards the current environment for innovations? A. Uncertain. B. Dissatisfied. C. Unconcerned. D. Optimistic. 【答案】31. C 32. A 33. D 34. B 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了信息时代的到来以及洞察力对创新的重要性。信息的数量不断增加，但并不一定能刺激创新的提升。洞察力是创新的基础，通过Eureka量表可以评估洞察力的强度和重要性。为了进入新的洞察力时代，需要找到那些重要想法的空间，以使它们能够浮出水面。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的句子“The Age of Information is mushrooming(信息时代如雨后春笋般出现)”以及“even(甚至)”可知，后文与前文构成递进关系，即信息时代如雨后春笋般生长，甚至可能膨胀。C选项“Exploding.(爆发)”与划线词为同义词。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Studies show insights involve quiet signals deep in the brain, just under the surface of awareness. Anything that helps us notice quiet signals, such as taking breaks between meetings, only adopting necessary learning approaches or avoiding distractions like social media, can increase the chance of insights.(研究表明，洞察力涉及大脑深处的安静信号，就在意识的表面之下。任何有助于我们注意到安静信号的方法，比如在会议间隙休息，只采用必要的学习方法，或者避免社交媒体等干扰，都可以增加洞察的机会)”可知，静默的信号是产生洞察力的一种方式，因此需要避免一些干扰，比如社交媒体，并且需要适当的间隔来让大脑有机会产生新的想法，即在会议间隙远离电脑可以增加获得洞察力的可能性。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Innovations, both big and small, start with a new idea. Often, these ideas occur as a moment of insight — the result of a novel connection in our brains made between existing and new information.(无论是重大的创新还是细微的改进，都始于一个新想法的产生。通常，这些想法会突然闪现，成为一种顿悟的时刻——这是我们的大脑在现有信息与新信息之间建立起一种新颖联系的结果)”以及第三段中“Besides, we also want to increase the quality of them — to be able to sort through big new ideas and find the ones that have real value, which can be hard to measure.(此外，我们还希望提高它们的质量——能够从众多新颖的想法中筛选出具有实际价值的那些，而这类价值往往难以衡量)”以及“Launched in 2015, the Eureka Scale allows us to assess the strength of our insight experiences on a five-point scale, which is marked by intense emotions, motivation, memory advantage, aftershocks, and following ideas.(“尤里卡量表”于2015年推出，它能帮助我们以五分制来评估自身洞察力体验的强度，其表现特征包括强烈的情绪、强烈的动机、记忆优势、后续影响以及后续想法等方面)”可知，对于创新不论大小，都需要很多灵光一现的瞬间产生的想法（洞察力）；同时也需要提高洞察力的质量，从而才能对重大想法进行分类，确定出有真正价值的想法，尤里卡量表以对洞察力的强度进行评估进行确定。因此洞察的数量和质量对创新都至关重要。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, it’s becoming more challenging to find those quiet signals with the increasing use of technology, filling every moment with emergencies and an endless supply of content.(然而，随着科技的日益普及，找到这些安静的信号变得越来越有挑战性，因为每时每刻都充斥着紧急情况和无穷无尽的内容。)”以及根据最后一段“In order for organizations to benefit from another age of insight, it’s not enough to try to access more data or increase the number of insights we generate. Instead, it’s about making space for the biggest ideas to emerge from all the information.(为了让组织能够从新的洞察时代中获益，仅仅试图获取更多数据或者增加我们所获得的洞察数量是不够的。关键在于为从所有信息中涌现出来的最伟大想法留出空间)”以及以及最后一段中“And if we’re to enter a new age of insight, we must design our environments to allow for the best insight possible to surface.(而且，如果我们想要进入一个更具洞察力的新时代，我们就必须设计出合适的环境，以便让最深刻的洞察力得以显现出来)”可知，对于创新，仅仅尝试访问更多数据或增加我们产生的洞察数量是不够的，而是应该为从所有信息中脱颖而出的最伟大的想法腾出空间，可是当下随着科技的日益普及，找到这些安静的信号变得越来越有挑战性，故作者对于当下的创新环境是感到不满意的，因此作者呼吁我们必须设计我们的环境，以允许最好的洞察浮出水面。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We’ve all been there — one minute, we’re checking the news for an update, and the next, we’re waist-deep in a flood of negative news. This compulsive need to scroll through bad news or information, known as doomscrolling, has recently become an all-too-common habit. ___35___ Psychologists have been studying how this behavior affects our cognitive functions, emotional well-being, and even our ability to focus on the things that matter in our daily lives. The result? Doomscrolling isn’t just a means to pass the time — it’s actively harming our mental health. ___36___ Instead of making us feel prepared and informed, consuming bad news nonstop actually makes us feel more helpless. For people who already struggle with anxiety or depression, doomscrolling can become a maladaptive coping mechanism — a way to seek control over uncontrollable situations. ___37___ Beyond the obvious stress and anxiety, doomscrolling messes with how we think. It wreaks havoc on our attention span. The brain starts craving constant stimulation, making it harder to focus on tasks that aren’t delivering the same emotional hit. ___38___ Doomscrolling overloads our brain. Constant exposure to distressing content fills up our working memory, leaving little room for productive thinking or problem-solving. So, how can we break free from the doomscrolling trap? Altogether, avoiding all bad news isn’t the answer. A wiser choice is to develop healthier digital habits. We can begin by scheduling a specific time to check the news. Meanwhile, focus on what we consume: follow reputable sources and mute accounts that thrive on outrage and fear. For every negative story, seek something uplifting or informative to balance the content. ___39___ Donate, discuss the topic with a trusted friend, or volunteer for a cause. A. It is not surprising that anxiety is on the rise. B. Unfortunately, instead of helping, it feeds the stress cycle. C. We can reclaim our focus, mental health, and peace of mind. D. No wonder reading a book feels harder than scrolling social media. E. If a news story indeed upsets us, we can look for real-world ways to contribute. F. Studies show that doomscrollers reported higher levels of anxiety and depression. G. While staying informed matters, constant exposure to negativity does us no favors. 【答案】35. G 36. F 37. B 38. D 39. E 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了沉迷刷负面新闻已成普遍习惯，该行为损害心理健康、加剧焦虑，还会削弱专注力与思维能力。无需彻底隔绝资讯，可规划浏览时间、筛选信息，也能以实际行动消解负面情绪。 【35题详解】 根据上文“We’ve all been there — one minute, we’re checking the news for an update, and the next, we’re waist-deep in a flood of negative news. This compulsive need to scroll through bad news or information, known as doomscrolling, has recently become an all-too-common habit.(我们每个人都有这样的经历——前一分钟我们还在查看新闻以获取最新信息，下一分钟就发现自己被大量负面消息或信息淹没了。这种不断浏览负面消息或信息的冲动行为，即所谓的“阴暗刷屏”，近来已成为一种极为常见的习惯)”可知，第一段引出沉迷刷负面新闻这一常见现象，G选项“虽然获取信息很重要，但持续接触负面信息对我们毫无益处”承接上文，引出下文对危害的讨论，符合逻辑。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Psychologists have been studying how this behavior affects our cognitive functions, emotional well-being, and even our ability to focus on the things that matter in our daily lives. The result? Doomscrolling isn’t just a means to pass the time — it’s actively harming our mental health.(心理学家一直在研究这种行为对我们认知功能、情绪状态以及我们日常生活中专注力的培养所产生的影响。结果表明？“深度浏览负面内容”不仅仅是一种打发时间的方式——它实际上正在严重损害我们的心理健康)”可知，选项承接上文说明具体危害，F选项“研究表明，沉迷刷负面新闻的人焦虑和抑郁水平更高”符合语境。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Instead of making us feel prepared and informed, consuming bad news nonstop actually makes us feel more helpless. For people who already struggle with anxiety or depression, doomscrolling can become a maladaptive coping mechanism — a way to seek control over uncontrollable situations.(不断地接收负面消息并不会让我们感到有所准备和知晓情况，反而会让我们感到更加无助。对于那些本身就患有焦虑症或抑郁症的人来说，“灾难浏览”可能会成为一种不健康的应对方式——一种试图掌控无法掌控局面的手段)”可知，前文提到焦虑抑郁人群会把刷负面新闻当作应对不可控情况的方式，B选项“不幸的是，它不仅没有帮助，反而会加剧压力循环”顺承前文，点出这种应对方式的反效果，符合语境。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Beyond the obvious stress and anxiety, doomscrolling messes with how we think. It wreaks havoc on our attention span. The brain starts craving constant stimulation, making it harder to focus on tasks that aren’t delivering the same emotional hit.(除了明显的压力和焦虑之外，这种“阴暗刷屏”还会扰乱我们的思维。它会严重破坏我们的注意力持续时间。大脑开始渴望持续的刺激，从而使得我们更难专注于那些无法带来同样情感冲击的任务)”可知，前文提到沉迷刷负面会破坏注意力，让大脑很难专注没有强情绪刺激的任务，D选项“难怪读书比刷社交媒体更难”是对上文观点的举例说明，衔接自然。 【39题详解】 根据上文“So, how can we break free from the doomscrolling trap? Altogether, avoiding all bad news isn’t the answer. A wiser choice is to develop healthier digital habits. We can begin by scheduling a specific time to check the news. Meanwhile, focus on what we consume: follow reputable sources and mute accounts that thrive on outrage and fear. For every negative story, seek something uplifting or informative to balance the content.(那么，我们该如何摆脱这种“阴暗刷屏”的困扰呢？总之，完全避免接触所有负面消息并不是解决之道。更明智的选择是培养更健康的数字使用习惯。我们可以先设定一个特定的时间来查看新闻。同时，要注重我们所获取的信息来源：关注可靠的媒体，屏蔽那些一味煽动愤怒和恐惧的账号。对于每一个负面新闻，都要寻找一些积极向上或具有教育意义的内容来平衡整体内容)”以及后文“Donate, discuss the topic with a trusted friend, or volunteer for a cause.(可以进行捐赠，与信任的朋友讨论这个话题，或者投身于某个公益事业中)”可知，前文介绍了摆脱灾难浏览的方法，后文提到捐款、讨论、做志愿等实际行动，E选项“如果新闻真的让我们困扰，我们可以在现实中寻找办法做点什么”引出后文的具体行动，符合语境。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 As a kid, I dreamed of becoming a marine biologist and I lived out this fantasy by setting up aquariums(鱼缸) at home. Then, at 20, I was introduced to photographer David Liittschwager, who hired me to help him with a magazine assignment on marine life. David’s assignment was to document the amazing biodiversity found in the ocean. My role was to collect species for him to photograph. Every night, I would cast a floating lamp. Like moths drawn to a flame, mysterious creatures would emerge from the depths in search of this light. I’d then set up aquariums to house them as they waited for David to take their shot. Those evenings made me feel as if I were on another planet. I had never imagined such strange life-forms could exist in our oceans. But I didn’t grasp the true magic of what was in front of me until I saw the photographs David took. The biggest surprise was his image of a baby flounder. I caught this fish by accident. Only later did I notice its two tiny eyeballs staring back at me. But David’s photograph of this flounder revealed a universe of detail that even my eager eyes had missed. His macro lens magnified its ribs. The lightning-fast exposure froze its motion. A precisely aimed light released the rainbow hidden in its skin. And the black background removed all distractions to focus our attention on the quiet beauty at hand. Years after that project, I was snorkeling(潜水) on a shallow reef. Out of the darkness, another baby flounder emerged and settled on my mask. This time I knew what to look for. Before working for David, I had assumed the goal of photography was simply to reproduce an observation so that others could share the same experience. It had never occurred to me that photography could expand our visual perception and therefore teach us to see the world anew. 40.

And the black background removed all distractions to focus our attention on the quiet beauty at hand.(但大卫对这条比目鱼的照片揭示了一个宇宙的细节，甚至是我热切的眼睛都错过了。他的微距镜头放大了它的肋骨。闪电般的曝光冻结了它的运动。一束精确瞄准的光释放了隐藏在它皮肤里的彩虹。黑色的背景消除了所有的干扰，使我们的注意力集中在眼前的宁静之美)”可知，大卫拍摄的照片揭示了作者错过的许多细节，展现了摄影的魅力，这让作者感到惊喜。故答案为Because it revealed a universe of detail that the author had missed and showed the magic of photography. 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。从最后一段的“Years after that project, I was snorkeling on a shallow reef.

It had never occurred to me that photography could expand our visual perception and therefore teach us to see the world anew.(在那个项目几年后，我在一个浅滩上浮潜。黑暗中，另一条小比目鱼出现在我的面具上。这次我知道该找什么了。在为大卫工作之前，我一直认为摄影的目的仅仅是再现观察结果，这样其他人就可以分享同样的经历。我从来没有想过摄影可以扩展我们的视觉感知，从而教会我们重新看待世界)”可知，作者意识到摄影可以扩展我们的视觉感知，让我们重新看待世界，而不只是简单地再现一个观察结果。故答案为Encountering a baby flounder while snorkeling deepened the author’s understanding that photography could reproduce an observation./Encountering a baby flounder while snorkeling deepened the author’s understanding that photography could expand our visual perception and teach us to see the world anew. 【43题详解】 开放题。要求考生谈谈“什么能帮助你重新看待世界？”考生言之有理即可，例如“通过不同的视角看待世界，体验新的文化，了解不同的想法和信仰，进行有意义的对话，去新的地方旅行，对变化和成长持开放态度，这些都可以帮助你重新看待世界”。故答案为Seeing the world through different perspectives, experiencing new cultures, learning about diverse ideas and beliefs, engaging in meaningful conversations, traveling to new places, and being open to change and growth can all help you see the world anew. 第二节（20分） 44. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你校英文报正在举办以“Labor Shaped Me”为主题的征文活动。请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1. 你的劳动经历； 2. 该经历对你的影响。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 标题已给出，不计入总词数。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Labor Shaped Me My most unforgettable labor experience happened in Gansu. Last summer, I joined a local project to plant trees in the desert. Under the burning sun, I worked with volunteers to dig holes in the sandy land, put young trees in them and cover the roots with soil. I felt tired and my hands got sore, but I kept working with everyone till the end. We planted over 2,000 small trees together in three days. This experience shaped me greatly. I realized that labor is not only about personal growth but also about social responsibility. By helping to stop the sand, I felt a true sense of achievement. In the future, I will devote myself to meaningful work, knowing that when we give our best to society, we also build a better self. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。题目要求学生以李华的身份，写一篇短文参与校英文报的征文活动，文章要详细描述自己的一次劳动经历，再阐明这一经历对自己的影响。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 难忘的：unforgettable→memorable, indelible 疲劳的：tired→fatigued, exhausted 成就：achievement→accomplishment 致力于：devote oneself to→dedicate oneself to 2. 句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：I felt tired and my hands got sore, but I kept working with everyone till the end. 拓展句：Even though I felt tired and my hands got sore, I kept working with everyone till the end. 【点睛】[高分句型1] I realized that labor is not only about personal growth but also about social responsibility.
