I used to think recipes were promises. If I followed every line, the cake would rise and dinner would turn out well. My grandmother would probably have laughed at that. She cooked from memory and attention. “Stop when it looks right,” she would say. “Add flour until the dough feels soft but not sticky.” To a child who wanted clear answers, this sounded almost unfair.
Years later, I came across a medieval (中世纪的) recipe for sambocade, a kind of cheesecake. It gave no exact measurements. It simply told the cook to make a crust, prepare the curds, add sugar, egg whites and elderflowers, and bake it. At first, I found it nearly useless. How much sugar? How many eggs? How hot should the oven be? Then I understood: the recipe was not meant to teach a beginner from zero. It was more like a reminder, pointing back to knowledge learned by watching, touching, smelling and trying again.
That was how my grandmother cooked. Her own recipes were only lists of ingredients kept in an old shoe box. After she died, my mother threw the box away, thinking it had no value without instructions. I understood her choice. To anyone else, “flour, eggs, milk, sugar” was hardly a recipe. Yet something was lost with that box — not complete knowledge, but traces of a way of knowing.
Today, we often expect recipes to protect us from uncertainty. We want grams, minutes and temperatures. Careful measurement is useful, of course. But cooking is not only measurement. A good cook notices when butter begins to smell nutty, when dough resists the hand, and when a cake is pale enough to leave the oven. Such knowledge cannot be fully written down. It must be practiced in the body.
Now, whenever I bake, I still hear my grandmother’s question: “Is it pale enough yet?” It is not exactly a rule. It is a way of paying attention.
4. Why did the author once find her grandmother’s instructions “almost unfair”?
A. They sounded too old. B. They lacked clear rules.
C. They changed too often. D. They used rare ingredients.
5. Why is the medieval recipe mentioned?
A. To introduce a special sweet dessert.
B. To prove old recipes are useless.
C. To explain what Grandma’s cooking was like.
D. To compare different kinds of dishes.
6. What does the shoe box mainly represent in paragraph 3?
A. Lost family wealth. B. Complete cooking records.
C. A forgotten dessert. D. Knowledge through practice.
7. What is the author’s view on recipes?
A. Accuracy removes uncertainty. B. Practice gives recipes meaning.
C. Old recipes work better. D. Good memory matters most.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲的是作者儿时信奉精准菜谱,对比祖母凭经验随心烹饪的方式,借中世纪无定量食谱感悟到烹饪不止依靠数据,更需要亲身实践与用心感知。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第一段““Stop when it looks right,” she would say. “Add flour until the dough feels soft but not sticky.” To a child who wanted clear answers, this sounded almost unfair.(“当看起来合适的时候就停下吧,”她会说。“往面团里加面粉,直到面团摸起来柔软但又不黏手。”对于那个渴望得到明确答案的孩子来说,这听起来似乎有些不公平。)”可知,祖母的烹饪指引没有清晰固定的标准。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第二段“Years later, I came across a medieval (中世纪的) recipe for sambocade, a kind of cheesecake. It gave no exact measurements.(多年后,我偶然发现一份中世纪的sambocade芝士蛋糕食谱。这份食谱没有标注精确用量。)”和第三段“That was how my grandmother cooked.(这正是奶奶的做菜方式。)”可知,提及中世纪食谱是为了解释祖母的烹饪风格。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第三段“Yet something was lost with that box — not complete knowledge, but traces of a way of knowing.(然而,随着那个盒子的丢失带走了某些东西——并非是完整的知识,而是某种认知方式的痕迹。)”可知,鞋盒代表着依托实践积累而来的烹饪心得。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第四段“Such knowledge cannot be fully written down. It must be practiced in the body.(这样的知识无法被完整地写下来。它必须在身体的实践中习得。)”可知,作者对食谱的观点是实操赋予食谱真正的内涵与价值。
C
We generally believe that wisdom grows naturally with experience. As time passes, we make mistakes, learn lessons, and gradually improve our judgment. This common belief is comforting because it suggests that simply living longer will improve our understanding of the world. However, research from psychology and behavioral science now challenges this idea, indicating that experience alone is not always a reliable teacher.
In many cases, repetition does not sharpen judgment — rather, it dulls it. People who make the same decisions over and over often grow more confident without becoming more accurate. Consider an investor who continues to pour money into a declining stock because it once made him a fortune. Likewise, a doctor with years of experience in flu diagnosis might ignore an unusual symptom, only to realize later it was the first sign of a rare disease. Experience, it turns out, can solidify errors just as easily as it corrects them.
In complex environments like financial markets, relationships or parenting, the consequences of decisions are rarely clear. Success is easily credited to skill when it could just have easily been luck, while failure is excused anyway. How can we trust such biased interpretations? This is why experience so often misleads us. The key is that experience leads to genuine learning only under very specific conditions. As Soyer and Hogarth note in the book The Myth of Experience, “Experience does not automatically lead to learning. What matters is not how much experience someone has, but whether the environment provides clear, timely, and reliable feedback.” When feedback is delayed or unclear, experience acts not as a teacher but as a cheater.
Ancient philosophers were cautious of this long before modern psychology started to explore it. Socrates distrusted the authority of experience when unaccompanied by reflection, insisting that unexamined beliefs grow more dangerous with time. Wisdom, on this view, does not emerge from repetition, but from the capacity to question what experience appears to have taught us.
8. What does the author mainly state in paragraph 1?
A. Age makes people smart. B. Experience is no guarantee of wisdom.
C. Repetition makes no sense. D. Mistakes and lessons improve judgment.
9. Which of the following examples can best fit in the second paragraph?
A. A student avoids mistakes by reflecting on failures.
B. A worker improves efficiency with repeated practice.
C. A driver underestimates a sharp turn after a hundred safe passes.
D. A teacher gains experience by continuously changing methods.
10. Why is the book quoted in paragraph 3?
A. To clarify a doubt. B. To present a story. C. To define a concept. D. To support a claim.
11. Which is the best title for the text?
A. The Past Experience: A Teacher or a Cheater?
B. To Grow Old or Grow Wise: That’s a Choice!
C. Repetitive Practice: The True Path to Wisdom
D. Ancient Philosophers: Guides for Modern Psychology
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了人们普遍认为智慧会随阅历自然增长,但研究表明经验未必带来智慧,重复经历可能固化错误;只有在及时清晰的反馈环境下经验才有助于学习,真正的智慧源于反思与质疑,而非单纯的经验积累。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“We generally believe that wisdom grows naturally with experience. (我们普遍认为,智慧会随着经验自然增长。)”及“However, research from psychology and behavioral science now challenges this idea, indicating that experience alone is not always a reliable teacher. (然而,心理学和行为科学的研究正在挑战这一观点,指出经验本身并不总是可靠的老师。)”可知,第一段主要阐述经验并不能保证智慧的产生。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第二段“In many cases, repetition does not sharpen judgment — rather, it dulls it. (在许多情况下,重复不会让判断力变得敏锐——反而会使其迟钝。)”可知,第二段重在说明重复经历会让人盲目自信、判断失准,司机多次安全过弯后低估弯道风险的例子符合本段观点。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第三段“The key is that experience leads to genuine learning only under very specific conditions. (关键在于,经验只有在非常特定的条件下才能带来真正的学习。)”及“As Soyer and Hogarth note in the book The Myth of Experience, “Experience does not automatically lead to learning. What matters is not how much experience someone has, but whether the environment provides clear, timely, and reliable feedback.” (正如Soyer和Hogarth在《经验的迷思》一书中所指出的:“经验不会自动带来学习。重要的不是一个人有多少经验,而是环境是否提供了清晰、及时、可靠的反馈。”)”可知,作者引用书籍观点,是为了支撑本段提出的核心观点经验只有在特定条件下才能促成真正的学习。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“We generally believe that wisdom grows naturally with experience. (我们普遍认为,智慧会随着经验自然增长。)”及第三段“When feedback is delayed or unclear, experience acts not as a teacher but as a cheater. (当反馈延迟或不清晰时,经验扮演的不是老师的角色,而是骗子的角色。)”以及全文围绕经验能否带来智慧展开论述可知,文章最佳标题为A选项“The Past Experience: A Teacher or a Cheater? (过往经验:是老师还是骗子?)”。
D
Curiously, I have been speaking with experts in AI lately. These people are absorbed in building powerful technological tools, but they want to keep their humanity. They’ve got me thinking. If creativity and innovation are accelerating (加速) faster than ever, what ensures they serve the greater good? A recent psychological study suggests one direction: wisdom.
According to neuropsychiatrist Dilip Jeste, features of wisdom include prosocial attitudes, self-awareness and reflection, emotional stability, and balancing decisiveness with uncertainty. These are not features we normally associate with innovation. But new research suggests they may shape whether creativity benefits others or not.
Researchers found that wisdom functions as a moral compass for creativity. Across two studies, creativity did not reliably predict prosocial behavior on its own. In one experiment, highly creative participants who scored lower in wisdom were less willing to help another person in a moral-emergency situation. Among participants higher in wisdom, creativity was instead associated with more socially mindful responses. One way to think of the implications here is that creativity generates possibilities, but wisdom helps determine which possibilities serve others rather than ourselves alone.
There is a concern that human thinking can become more “computationalized” — more procedural, efficiency-driven, and emotionally cold. The more we interact with computational systems, the easier it becomes to treat human problems as technical problems.
How do we develop wisdom then? Ironically (讽刺地), the answer may lie in a field often under attack: the humanities. Daniela Amodei, cofounder of Anthropic, recently suggested that studying the humanities may become more important than ever in an AI-driven world. When hiring, she said the company looks for people with strong communication skills, empathy, curiosity, and the ability to understand human behavior, capacities often developed through the humanities. Literature, philosophy, and history expose us to moral dilemmas (困境) and human complexity.
Socrates said, “Wisdom begins in wonder.” Wisdom may be one of the deeper expressions of wonder - the capacity to reflect, and consider how our actions affect others. In an age of acceleration, that capacity keeps our humanness fully alive.
12. Why does the author mention AI experts in paragraph 1?
A. To present a fact. B. To lead into a topic.
C. To clarify a concept. D. To explain a phenomenon.
13. What is the role of wisdom in creativity?
A. It generates novel ideas.
B. It predicts social emergencies.
C. It ensures personal reflection.
D. It guides moral direction.
14. Which statement will Daniela Amodei probably agree with?
A. Humanistic disciplines are crucial.
B. Employees with AI skills are favored.
C. AI innovation needs new perspectives.
D. Technology is a byproduct of humanity.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Are Humanities More Valuable Than AI Skills?
B. Is Wisdom Harder to Learn Than Creativity?
C. Are Moral Dilemmas the Test of Creativity?
D. Is Creativity Enough in the Age of AI?
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述在人工智能飞速发展、创意创新不断提速的时代,仅有创造力远远不够,智慧能够为创意指引道德方向,而学习人文学科是培养智慧的重要途径。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第一段“Curiously, I have been speaking with experts in AI lately. These people are absorbed in building powerful technological tools, but they want to keep their humanity. They’ve got me thinking.(说来奇怪,我最近一直在和人工智能领域的专家交流。这些人一心研发强大的科技工具,却又希望坚守人性。这引发了我的思考。)”及原文第三段“Researchers found that wisdom functions as a moral compass for creativity.(研究人员发现,智慧是创造力的道德指南针。)”可知,作者提及人工智能专家是为了引出本文探讨的核心话题——智慧在创新时代的重要作用。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Researchers found that wisdom functions as a moral compass for creativity.(研究人员发现,智慧是创造力的道德指南针。)”可知,智慧能够为创造力指引道德方向。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第五段“Daniela Amodei, cofounder of Anthropic, recently suggested that studying the humanities may become more important than ever in an AI-driven world.(安思卓公司联合创始人Daniela Amodei近日提出,在人工智能主导的时代,学习人文学科或许会变得前所未有的重要。)”可知,她认同人文学科至关重要这一观点。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“If creativity and innovation are accelerating faster than ever, what ensures they serve the greater good?(倘若创意与创新的发展速度空前迅猛,那又该如何确保它们造福大众、向善而行?)”及第三段“Researchers found that wisdom functions as a moral compass for creativity.(研究人员发现,智慧是创造力的道德指南针。)”并结合全文内容可知,文章围绕人工智能时代展开,论述仅有创造力存在局限,还需要智慧加以引导,因此合适的标题为“人工智能时代仅有创造力足够吗?”。

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。
Tips on Connecting With Your Family in the Car
In our fast-paced world, quality time with family members is often the first thing we sacrifice. Due to last-minute work calls or running-late classes, Friday movie nights are canceled and Saturday outings are frequently postponed. ____16____ Both short school drives and long road trips can be transformed into valuable bonding experiences by being intentional.
·Remove digital distractions. Often, phones and tablets make every member stay in their own world. This creates a disconnected environment. ____17____ Use this time in the car to chat, observe the scenery, or simply enjoy shared silence, fostering an atmosphere where everyone can get fully involved.
·Start gentle and interesting conversations. ____18____ As a result, communication breaks down. Choosing light and positive topics like favorite things, funny stories or simple wishes is the key to keeping conversations flowing. Use open-ended questions like “Where would you choose if you could go anywhere?”. This encourages everyone to share more about their inner worlds.
____19____ Car rides need not be just about getting from A to B. They’re also a chance to share practical knowledge. When passing a gas station, talk to teens about budgeting. Upon spotting a road sign, explain to younger kids its meaning. Small exchanges spark curiosity and build practical wisdom for everyone.
·Create musical experiences. Road trips can be a painfully long stretch in the car. That’s where the magic of music — a powerful emotional connector — comes in. Allow each member to add a few of their favorite songs and create a family playlist together. During the trip, sing along to familiar tunes, or have silly family karaoke sessions. ____20____ Follow these tips and turn our next car trip into a lasting warm memory.
A. Make good use of road signs.
B. Turn long transportation into mini education.
C. But what if we fully share the moments inside the car?
D. Why not encourage everyone to put away all screens?
E. These shared melodies help track your family’s highlights.
F. Even Sunday trips are turned into family bonding occasions.
G. Exchanges often fade or turn tense with grades and criticism.
【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. B 20. E

根据前文“Due to last-minute work calls or running-late classes, Friday movie nights are canceled and Saturday outings are frequently postponed.(由于临时工作电话或延迟结束的课程,周五电影之夜被取消,周六外出活动也常常被推迟。)” 以及后文“Both short school drives and long road trips can be transformed into valuable bonding experiences by being intentional.(无论是短途上学路程还是长途自驾游,用心经营都能变成珍贵的家庭相处时光。)” 可知,空前讲述家庭聚会不断被搁置,空后提出车内时光可以增进亲情;空处需要转折设问,引出车内相处的新方式。选项C“But what if we fully share the moments inside the car?(但如果我们好好共享车内时光会怎样呢?)”衔接前后文意。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Often, phones and tablets make every member stay in their own world. This creates a disconnected environment.(手机和平板常常让每个家人沉浸在自己的世界里,造成彼此疏远。)”以及后文“Use this time in the car to chat, observe the scenery, or simply enjoy shared silence, fostering an atmosphere where everyone can get fully involved.(利用车内时间聊天、欣赏风景或是安静相伴,营造一种人人都能充分参与的氛围。)”可知,本段核心是远离电子设备,专注陪伴家人。选项D“Why not encourage everyone to put away all screens?(为什么不鼓励大家收起所有电子屏幕呢?)”贴合本段去除数字干扰的主题。
【18题详解】
根据后文“As a result, communication breaks down.(最终,沟通走向破裂。)”可知,空处应填入会破坏家庭谈话氛围的负面交流方式。选项G“Exchanges often fade or turn tense with grades and criticism.(谈论成绩、加以指责,往往会让交流变淡或变得紧张。)”可以引出后文沟通不畅的结果。
【19题详解】
根据后文“They’re also a chance to share practical knowledge.(乘车也是分享实用知识的好机会。)”以及本段举例讲解油价、路标含义等内容可知,本段主要讲述利用路途时光开展简易科普与知识教育。选项B“Turn long transportation into mini education.(把漫长的路途变成小型教育课堂。)”为本段中心句,总领下文。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Allow each member to add a few of their favorite songs and create a family playlist together. During the trip, sing along to familiar tunes, or have silly family karaoke sessions.(让每位成员添加几首自己喜欢的歌曲,共同创建一份家庭歌单。旅途途中,跟着熟悉的旋律一同歌唱,或是来一场轻松欢乐的家庭卡拉OK小派对。)”可知,本段围绕音乐营造家庭氛围展开。选项E“These shared melodies help track your family’s highlights.(这些共同聆听的旋律,能够留存家庭美好回忆。)”承接音乐带来的情感价值。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sumi was a single mother. Her daughter Anna has always been called “Number 23.” Every time the school released exam results, Anna would always end up in 23rd position among 50 pupils. Always 23, no matter how hard she pushed Anna. Every mention of this nickname gnawed at Sumi.
One day, Sumi, along with Anna, was invited to a lively gathering of several friends and their families. The atmosphere was delightful and as the lunch came to a finish, a man playfully asked the youngsters what they aspired (有志成为) to be when they grew up. “I want to be a pianist!” “I want to be a famous actor!” “I want to be a politician!” “I’ll start a business and make tons of money!” One after another, the children voiced these bold, ambitious dreams, earning warm applause and compliments from the adults.
Anna, however, simply smiled and clapped along, remaining silent. She was quietly occupied with serving soup and distributing cookies to the guests. Then, the man who had posed the question turned his gaze toward Anna and added, “Hey, our Anna hasn’t shared her dream yet. What do you want to be when you grow up?” Anna paused, and then, with a soft smile, replied, “Uncle, I want to be a primary school teacher. I love kids — telling them funny stories and teaching them how to make paper cuts. I just love dancing and singing and playing with them.” The room fell instantly silent. Sumi felt her heart sink.
Later, boarding a rented bus for the return trip, Sumi stared out the window, a heavy cloud of disappointment settling over her. She had hoped Anna would dream bigger, not settle for such an ordinary life. As traffic thickened, the bus got fast stuck in a jam. Suddenly, two boys erupted into a full-blown quarrel over a single slice of dessert. No one could calm them down. To make matters worse, more kids on the bus began to get restless due to the jam.
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。
Paragraph 1: At that critical moment, Anna stepped in.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Sumi excitedly called Anna a hero, but she shook her head gently.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
At that critical moment Anna stepped in. Approaching the quarreling boys with a calm smile, she suggested they flip a coin to settle their dispute. Simple as that, the argument ended. Everyone was stunned. Then, she began distributing treats like a caring big sister, instantly soothing the restless children. Making use of leftover candy boxes, she folded intricate paper animals — elephants, lions, and birds — and presented them to each child on the bus. The children’s eyes sparkled with joy as they admired their unique gifts, their cries replaced by laughter. The man who had asked about their dreams earlier watched in astonishment, clapping appreciatively. As for Sumi, a new emotion warmed her chest: pride.
Sumi excitedly called Anna a hero, but she shook her head gently. She grinned and replied softly, “Mom, I’m not a hero. When a hero walks down the road, everyone claps, but I want to be the one clapping for others.” That simple answer shifted something deep within Sumi. She realized she had always pushed Anna to achieve, shine, and be number one, yet she had missed the point. Being kind, happy, and true to oneself was the real achievement. Perhaps being “Number 23” wasn’t terrible after all; it was exactly where Anna was meant to shine. A tear of joy rolled down Sumi’s cheek as she wrapped her arm around her daughter’s shoulder. “Then be that teacher, my Anna. I shall be your loudest admirer.”

I used to think recipes were promises. If I followed every line, the cake would rise and dinner would turn out well. My grandmother would probably have laughed at that. She cooked from memory and attention. “Stop when it looks right,” she would say. “Add flour until the dough feels soft but not sticky.” To a child who wanted clear answers, this sounded almost unfair.
Years later, I came across a medieval (中世纪的) recipe for sambocade, a kind of cheesecake. It gave no exact measurements. It simply told the cook to make a crust, prepare the curds, add sugar, egg whites and elderflowers, and bake it. At first, I found it nearly useless. How much sugar? How many eggs? How hot should the oven be? Then I understood: the recipe was not meant to teach a beginner from zero. It was more like a reminder, pointing back to knowledge learned by watching, touching, smelling and trying again.
That was how my grandmother cooked. Her own recipes were only lists of ingredients kept in an old shoe box. After she died, my mother threw the box away, thinking it had no value without instructions. I understood her choice. To anyone else, “flour, eggs, milk, sugar” was hardly a recipe. Yet something was lost with that box — not complete knowledge, but traces of a way of knowing.
Today, we often expect recipes to protect us from uncertainty. We want grams, minutes and temperatures. Careful measurement is useful, of course. But cooking is not only measurement. A good cook notices when butter begins to smell nutty, when dough resists the hand, and when a cake is pale enough to leave the oven. Such knowledge cannot be fully written down. It must be practiced in the body.
Now, whenever I bake, I still hear my grandmother’s question: “Is it pale enough yet?” It is not exactly a rule. It is a way of paying attention.
4. Why did the author once find her grandmother’s instructions “almost unfair”?
A. They sounded too old. B. They lacked clear rules.
C. They changed too often. D. They used rare ingredients.
5. Why is the medieval recipe mentioned?
A. To introduce a special sweet dessert.
B. To prove old recipes are useless.
C. To explain what Grandma’s cooking was like.
D. To compare different kinds of dishes.
6. What does the shoe box mainly represent in paragraph 3?
A. Lost family wealth. B. Complete cooking records.
C. A forgotten dessert. D. Knowledge through practice.
7. What is the author’s view on recipes?
A. Accuracy removes uncertainty. B. Practice gives recipes meaning.
C. Old recipes work better. D. Good memory matters most.
C
We generally believe that wisdom grows naturally with experience. As time passes, we make mistakes, learn lessons, and gradually improve our judgment. This common belief is comforting because it suggests that simply living longer will improve our understanding of the world. However, research from psychology and behavioral science now challenges this idea, indicating that experience alone is not always a reliable teacher.
In many cases, repetition does not sharpen judgment — rather, it dulls it. People who make the same decisions over and over often grow more confident without becoming more accurate. Consider an investor who continues to pour money into a declining stock because it once made him a fortune. Likewise, a doctor with years of experience in flu diagnosis might ignore an unusual symptom, only to realize later it was the first sign of a rare disease. Experience, it turns out, can solidify errors just as easily as it corrects them.
In complex environments like financial markets, relationships or parenting, the consequences of decisions are rarely clear. Success is easily credited to skill when it could just have easily been luck, while failure is excused anyway. How can we trust such biased interpretations? This is why experience so often misleads us. The key is that experience leads to genuine learning only under very specific conditions. As Soyer and Hogarth note in the book The Myth of Experience, “Experience does not automatically lead to learning. What matters is not how much experience someone has, but whether the environment provides clear, timely, and reliable feedback.” When feedback is delayed or unclear, experience acts not as a teacher but as a cheater.
Ancient philosophers were cautious of this long before modern psychology started to explore it. Socrates distrusted the authority of experience when unaccompanied by reflection, insisting that unexamined beliefs grow more dangerous with time. Wisdom, on this view, does not emerge from repetition, but from the capacity to question what experience appears to have taught us.
8. What does the author mainly state in paragraph 1?
A. Age makes people smart. B. Experience is no guarantee of wisdom.
C. Repetition makes no sense. D. Mistakes and lessons improve judgment.
9. Which of the following examples can best fit in the second paragraph?
A. A student avoids mistakes by reflecting on failures.
B. A worker improves efficiency with repeated practice.
C. A driver underestimates a sharp turn after a hundred safe passes.
D. A teacher gains experience by continuously changing methods.
10. Why is the book quoted in paragraph 3?
A. To clarify a doubt. B. To present a story. C. To define a concept. D. To support a claim.
11. Which is the best title for the text?
A. The Past Experience: A Teacher or a Cheater?
B. To Grow Old or Grow Wise: That’s a Choice!
C. Repetitive Practice: The True Path to Wisdom
D. Ancient Philosophers: Guides for Modern Psychology
D
Curiously, I have been speaking with experts in AI lately. These people are absorbed in building powerful technological tools, but they want to keep their humanity. They’ve got me thinking. If creativity and innovation are accelerating (加速) faster than ever, what ensures they serve the greater good? A recent psychological study suggests one direction: wisdom.
According to neuropsychiatrist Dilip Jeste, features of wisdom include prosocial attitudes, self-awareness and reflection, emotional stability, and balancing decisiveness with uncertainty. These are not features we normally associate with innovation. But new research suggests they may shape whether creativity benefits others or not.
Researchers found that wisdom functions as a moral compass for creativity. Across two studies, creativity did not reliably predict prosocial behavior on its own. In one experiment, highly creative participants who scored lower in wisdom were less willing to help another person in a moral-emergency situation. Among participants higher in wisdom, creativity was instead associated with more socially mindful responses. One way to think of the implications here is that creativity generates possibilities, but wisdom helps determine which possibilities serve others rather than ourselves alone.
There is a concern that human thinking can become more “computationalized” — more procedural, efficiency-driven, and emotionally cold. The more we interact with computational systems, the easier it becomes to treat human problems as technical problems.
How do we develop wisdom then? Ironically (讽刺地), the answer may lie in a field often under attack: the humanities. Daniela Amodei, cofounder of Anthropic, recently suggested that studying the humanities may become more important than ever in an AI-driven world. When hiring, she said the company looks for people with strong communication skills, empathy, curiosity, and the ability to understand human behavior, capacities often developed through the humanities. Literature, philosophy, and history expose us to moral dilemmas (困境) and human complexity.
Socrates said, “Wisdom begins in wonder.” Wisdom may be one of the deeper expressions of wonder - the capacity to reflect, and consider how our actions affect others. In an age of acceleration, that capacity keeps our humanness fully alive.
12. Why does the author mention AI experts in paragraph 1?
A. To present a fact. B. To lead into a topic.
C. To clarify a concept. D. To explain a phenomenon.
13. What is the role of wisdom in creativity?
A. It generates novel ideas.
B. It predicts social emergencies.
C. It ensures personal reflection.
D. It guides moral direction.
14. Which statement will Daniela Amodei probably agree with?
A. Humanistic disciplines are crucial.
B. Employees with AI skills are favored.
C. AI innovation needs new perspectives.
D. Technology is a byproduct of humanity.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Are Humanities More Valuable Than AI Skills?
B. Is Wisdom Harder to Learn Than Creativity?
C. Are Moral Dilemmas the Test of Creativity?
D. Is Creativity Enough in the Age of AI?

Tips on Connecting With Your Family in the Car
In our fast-paced world, quality time with family members is often the first thing we sacrifice. Due to last-minute work calls or running-late classes, Friday movie nights are canceled and Saturday outings are frequently postponed. ____16____ Both short school drives and long road trips can be transformed into valuable bonding experiences by being intentional.
·Remove digital distractions. Often, phones and tablets make every member stay in their own world. This creates a disconnected environment. ____17____ Use this time in the car to chat, observe the scenery, or simply enjoy shared silence, fostering an atmosphere where everyone can get fully involved.
·Start gentle and interesting conversations. ____18____ As a result, communication breaks down.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sumi was a single mother. Her daughter Anna has always been called “Number 23.” Every time the school released exam results, Anna would always end up in 23rd position among 50 pupils. Always 23, no matter how hard she pushed Anna. Every mention of this nickname gnawed at Sumi.
One day, Sumi, along with Anna, was invited to a lively gathering of several friends and their families. The atmosphere was delightful and as the lunch came to a finish, a man playfully asked the youngsters what they aspired (有志成为) to be when they grew up. “I want to be a pianist!” “I want to be a famous actor!” “I want to be a politician!” “I’ll start a business and make tons of money!” One after another, the children voiced these bold, ambitious dreams, earning warm applause and compliments from the adults.
Anna, however, simply smiled and clapped along, remaining silent. She was quietly occupied with serving soup and distributing cookies to the guests. Then, the man who had posed the question turned his gaze toward Anna and added, “Hey, our Anna hasn’t shared her dream yet. What do you want to be when you grow up?” Anna paused, and then, with a soft smile, replied, “Uncle, I want to be a primary school teacher. I love kids — telling them funny stories and teaching them how to make paper cuts. I just love dancing and singing and playing with them.” The room fell instantly silent. Sumi felt her heart sink.
Later, boarding a rented bus for the return trip, Sumi stared out the window, a heavy cloud of disappointment settling over her. She had hoped Anna would dream bigger, not settle for such an ordinary life. As traffic thickened, the bus got fast stuck in a jam. Suddenly, two boys erupted into a full-blown quarrel over a single slice of dessert. No one could calm them down. To make matters worse, more kids on the bus began to get restless due to the jam.
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。
Paragraph 1: At that critical moment, Anna stepped in.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Sumi excitedly called Anna a hero, but she shook her head gently.
