Those conversations stayed firmly in his mind. A few years later, Ryan arranged a weekend trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and asked Grandma if she’d like to join him. To his delight, his grandmother accepted the invitation at once. At 85, she finally saw her first mountain, climbed her first mountain trail and experienced outdoor camping for the very first time. Though he had worried that the pleasure of the journey might be ravaged when he traveled with an elderly person, Ryan soon found himself totally wrong. Quite the opposite, moving at a relaxed pace allowed him to appreciate the beauty of nature more fully and made the whole outdoor experience far more meaningful and memorable. That first trip lit up Ryan’s heart with a new kind of joy, and he was excited to see how much his grandma enjoyed the experience. Determined to keep their adventure going, the pair made a plan to travel to the other 62 National Parks across America together. The journey was an incredible challenge, even for regular hikers, let alone an elderly woman with little hiking experience, so they took their time and spent nearly eight years completing the whole tour. Ryan said his grandma viewed the world with a special attitude — she never thought she would come back to any place again, so she lived every moment more fully and sincerely. After reaching their final destination — the National Park of American Samoa in the South Pacific in 2023, they became closer than ever and eventually set an even more challenging goal: to travel to every continent in the world. 1. What inspired Brad Ryan to invite his grandma on the first trip? A. His passion for exploring national parks. B. His grandma’s lifelong regret of never seeing a mountain. C. His wish to strengthen their relationship. D. His grandma’s dream of climbing mountains. 2. The underlined word “ravaged” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________. A. damaged B. improved C. doubted D. recalled 3. How did Brad deal with the difficulty in hiking with his grandma? A. By going to fewer destination. B. By planning more short-distance trips. C. By traveling at a slower pace. D. By asking professional guides for help. 4. Which of the following may be the best title for the text? A. A Hike Through 63 US National Parks. B. An Elderly Woman’s Dream of Mountain Adventures. C. The Advantage of Travelling around the National Parks. D. A Journey Filled with Love and Deeper Experiences. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 4. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了孙子陪伴85岁祖母走遍美国国家公园，实现人生心愿的温暖旅程。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In 2010, as Brad Ryan shared his previous hiking and mountain-climbing stories, he made a heartfelt discovery: his grandmother, Joy Ryan, had never seen a mountain with her own eyes — a regret she had carried all her life. (2010年，当布拉德·瑞安分享他之前的徒步和登山故事时，他有了一个发自内心的发现：他的祖母乔伊·瑞安从未亲眼见过山——这是她一生都怀揣的遗憾。)”可知，祖母一生没见过山的遗憾促使孙子邀请她旅行。 【2题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Though he had worried that the pleasure of the journey might be ravaged when he traveled with an elderly person, Ryan soon found himself totally wrong. Quite the opposite, moving at a relaxed pace allowed him to appreciate the beauty of nature more fully and made the whole outdoor experience far more meaningful and memorable. (尽管他曾担心和一位老人一起旅行时，旅途的乐趣可能会被ravaged，但瑞安很快发现自己完全错了。恰恰相反，以轻松悠闲的节奏前行让他更充分地欣赏大自然的美，使整个户外体验变得更加有意义和难忘。)”可知，ravaged与后面的far more meaningful and memorable形成对比，表示“破坏、毁坏”之意。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The journey was an incredible challenge, even for regular hikers, let alone an elderly woman with little hiking experience, so they took their time and spent nearly eight years completing the whole tour. (这段旅程是一个巨大的挑战，即使对普通徒步者来说也是如此，更不用说一位几乎没有徒步经验的老年女性了，所以他们不着急，花了近八年时间完成了整个旅程。)”可知，布拉德通过放慢旅行节奏来应对与祖母一起徒步的困难。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容以及最后一段“After reaching their final destination — the National Park of American Samoa in the South Pacific in 2023, they became closer than ever and eventually set an even more challenging goal: to travel to every continent in the world. (2023年，在抵达他们的最终目的地——南太平洋的美属萨摩亚国家公园后，他们的关系比以往任何时候都更加亲密，并最终树立了一个更具挑战性的目标：环游世界各大洲。)”可知，本文核心是充满爱与深刻体验的陪伴之旅。  B A recent study reveals that the “gap” between conversational turns serves as an objective measure of interpersonal connection: shorter gaps indicate a stronger sense of harmony. This finding emerges from the observation that people naturally respond to each other in about 250 milliseconds, an “honest signal” of attention beyond conscious control. The study found that participants reported greater enjoyment and connection when these gaps were shorter, and this pattern was held even within single conversations. The research involved 66 participants, either with strangers or friends in pair, having 10-minute recorded conversations. Participants later rated their moment-by-moment connection while watching the videos, confirming that connection peaks were in harmony with shorter gaps. Crucially, the feeling of connection depended far more on how quickly one’s partner responded than on one’s own response speed. Additionally, external observers perceived shorter conversational gaps as a clear sign of social connection. By manipulating (操纵) gap lengths in audio clips, the study showed that shorter gaps alone were sufficient to make observers judge pairs as more connected. The study also identified “super-connectors” — individuals who consistently responded faster across different partners, fostering feelings of warmth. However, simply trying to speed up responses is not a shortcut available, as true rapid response requires deep understanding and expectation of the other person’s perspective, achieved through active listening and genuine engagement. In essence, just as we use terms like “close” to describe intimacy (亲密感), the gaps in our conversations also “telescope” interpersonal space. By shrinking these gaps, we effectively reduce the psychological distance between ourselves and others. 5. What is the main function of the first paragraph? A. To present a study result. B. To raise a controversial question. C. To explain a psychological term. D. To introduce a common phenomenon. 6. How did the researchers collect the data on conversational gaps? A. By training participants to respond faster across partners. B. By measuring total silence duration in each conversation. C. By comparing conversations between strangers and friends. D. By having participants rate connection while watching videos. 7. What does the author suggest about being true connectors in the fourth paragraph? A. They can teach others to connect better. B. They rely on conscious effort to respond. C. They are born with the ability to connect. D. They respond consistently to diverse partners. 8. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Intimate relationships depend on frequent communication. B. Telescopes are useful tools for studying interpersonal space. C. Physical distance can be measured by conversational speed. D. Shortening response time helps narrow psychological distance. 【答案】5. A 6. D 7. B 8. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项关于对话间隔时长与人际联系关系的研究发现。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A recent study reveals that the ‘gap’ between conversational turns serves as an objective measure of interpersonal connection: shorter gaps indicate a stronger sense of harmony. (最近一项研究表明，话轮之间的间隔是衡量人际联系的客观指标：间隔越短，和谐感越强。)”可知，第一段的主要作用是呈现一项研究结果。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Participants later rated their moment-by-moment connection while watching the videos, confirming that connection peaks were in harmony with shorter gaps. (随后，参与者在观看视频时对自己每时每刻的联系感进行评分，证实了联系感的峰值与较短的间隔相一致。)”可知，研究人员通过让参与者观看视频并对联系感进行评分来收集对话间隔的数据。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, simply trying to speed up responses is not a shortcut available, as true rapid response requires deep understanding and expectation of the other person’s perspective, achieved through active listening and genuine engagement. (然而，刻意加快回应并不是可行的捷径，因为真正的快速回应需要深刻理解并预判对方的想法，这需要通过积极倾听和真诚投入来实现。)”可知，真正的连接者依靠有意识的努力去回应。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“By shrinking these gaps, we effectively reduce the psychological distance between ourselves and others. (通过缩短这些间隔，我们能有效缩小自己与他人之间的心理距离。)”可知，缩短回应时间有助于缩小心理距离。 C Researchers have long been interested in how humans and animals make decisions by focusing on trial-and-error behavior informed by recent information. However, the conventional frameworks for understanding these behaviors may overlook certain realities of decision-making because they assume we make the best decisions after taking into account our past experiences. One new study uses AI in innovative ways to better understand this process. By using tiny artificial neural networks, the researchers’ work illuminates in detail what drives an individual’s actual choices. “Instead of assuming how brains should learn in bettering our decisions, we developed an alternative approach to discover how individual brains actually learn to make decisions,” explains Mattar, a professor in New York University. “This approach functions like a detective, uncovering how decisions are actually made by animals and humans. By using tiny neural networks — small enough to be understood but powerful enough to catch complex behavior — we’ve discovered decision-making strategies that scientists have overlooked for decades.” “Large neural networks used in AI are very good at predicting things,” says Benna, a professor at UC San Diego’s School. “For example, they can predict which movie you would like to watch next. However, it is very challenging to describe simply what strategies these complex machine learning models use to make their predictions — such as why they think you will like one movie more than another one. By training the simplest versions of these AI models to predict animals’ choices and analyzing their dynamics using methods from physics, we can throw light on their inner workings in more easily understandable terms.” Understanding how animals and humans learn from experience to make decisions is not only a primary goal in the sciences, but, more broadly, useful in the fields of business, government, and technology. However, existing models of this process, because they are aimed at describing optimal (最佳的) decision-making, often fail to get realistic behavior. “Just as studying individual differences in physical characteristics has revolutionized medicine, understanding individual differences in decision-making strategies could transform our approach to mental health and cognitive function,” concludes Mattar. 9. What can be inferred about traditional decision-making models? A. They are consistent with real-life decision behavior. B. They pay much attention to individual differences. C. They tend to ignore choices that are not the best ones. D. They draw on AI-based methods in decision making. 10. What is special about the new study? A. Using tiny neural networks. B. Analyzing past experiences. C. Predicting movie preferences. D. Revisiting conventional frameworks. 11. What does Benna mean concerning large neural networks? A. They lack predictive accuracy. B. Their strategies are hard to interpret. C. They outperform tiny networks in research. D. They revolutionize decision-making studies. 12. What is Mattar’s attitude towards the new research? A. Cautiously skeptical. B. Indifferently neutral. C. Strongly supportive. D. Mildly critical. 【答案】9. C 10. A 11. B 12. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了一项利用微型人工神经网络研究人类和动物决策过程的新研究。该研究通过创新性地使用AI技术，揭示了传统决策模型所忽视的个体差异和实际决策策略。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“However, the conventional frameworks for understanding these behaviors may overlook certain realities of decision-making because they assume we make the best decisions after taking into account our past experiences.(然而，理解这些行为的传统框架可能忽视了决策的某些现实，因为它们假设我们在考虑过去经验后会做出最佳决策)”以及倒数第二段“However, existing models of this process, because they are aimed at describing optimal (最佳的) decision-making, often fail to get realistic behavior.(然而，现有模型旨在描述最佳决策，往往无法获得现实行为)”可推知，传统决策模型忽视了非最佳选择的情况。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“By using tiny neural networks — small enough to be understood but powerful enough to catch complex behavior — we’ve discovered decision-making strategies that scientists have overlooked for decades.(通过使用微小的神经网络——体积足够小，便于理解，但强大到能够捕捉复杂行为——我们发现了一些科学家几十年来忽视的决策策略)”可知，这项新研究的特别之处在于使用了微型神经网络。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““Large neural networks used in AI are very good at predicting things,” says Benna, a professor at UC San Diego’s School.(“人工智能中使用的大型神经网络在预测方面非常出色，”加州大学圣地亚哥分校的教授贝纳表示)”及“However, it is very challenging to describe simply what strategies these complex machine learning models use to make their predictions —— such as why they think you will like one movie more than another one.(然而，要简单描述这些复杂的机器学习模型在做出预测时所采用的策略——例如它们为何认为你更喜欢某部电影而不是另一部电影——是非常困难的)”可推知，Benna认为大型神经网络的策略难以解释。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Just as studying individual differences in physical characteristics has revolutionized medicine, understanding individual differences in decision-making strategies could transform our approach to mental health and cognitive function,” concludes Mattar.(“正如研究个体在身体特征上的差异已彻底改变了医学，理解个体在决策策略上的差异也可能彻底改变我们对心理健康和认知功能的处理方式，”马塔尔总结道)”可知，Mattar将这项研究比作改变医学的个体化研究，并对其潜在影响给予高度评价，表明他对新研究持强烈支持态度。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Uncovering your strengths is important for career growth and personal satisfaction. ____13____ By understanding your natural abilities, you position yourself to excel (擅长) in roles that fit with your talents.

Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination----the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago he saw figurines(小塑像) of Marvel superheroes on the shelves and felt he had to have one. He’s been walking the neighbor’s dog ever since then to earn money to fulfil his little dream. He was so excited and barely noticing the world around him. Maybe that’s why he tripped over the legs of a homeless woman, who was sitting on the pavement, her back against the wall. He murmured(低语) "sorry" and moved on to his destination. Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more----all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman. “You like these, true believer?” Tommy turned around. An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face. “Y-yes, …Yes, they’re awesome!” answered Tommy. “They’re strong and fast and help other people a lot ...”the boy looked at figurines in admiration. “I wish I could be a superhero too.” “Then become one!” said the old man. “How?” Tommy asked in surprise. “I don’t have any superpowers.” “And why would you need them?” the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy's face, he squatted(蹲下) and put his hands on Tommy's arms. “Did you know that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled husband? She’s been working hard and taking care of him for years. I’ve never heard a word of complaint from her. And this person ---” he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. “He’s a firefighter; he’s saved countless lives. He never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be.” The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. “You don’t need a superpower to be a hero for someone else. The path of a superhero starts not in the mind, not in the muscles, but in the heart.” 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes thinking intensely. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes thinking intensely.

His eyes lit up---- he already had an idea of what he should do. He looked at figurines for the last time and moved towards the counter. "Two sandwiches and a cup of tea please, "he said, and then returned, food in hand. The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time. Tommy came closer and carefully gave the woman his buys. Her eyes opened wide in surprise, then filled with tears. “Thank you," she whispered. Tommy bowed his head, turned around and went back home. He was moving faster and faster and finally he started to run. Strange energy filling his body made him feel like he could fly. When he finally stopped, he was breathing heavily, but he didn’t feel tired. He smiled happily --- it was a wonderful feeling.

Those conversations stayed firmly in his mind. A few years later, Ryan arranged a weekend trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and asked Grandma if she’d like to join him. To his delight, his grandmother accepted the invitation at once. At 85, she finally saw her first mountain, climbed her first mountain trail and experienced outdoor camping for the very first time. Though he had worried that the pleasure of the journey might be ravaged when he traveled with an elderly person, Ryan soon found himself totally wrong. Quite the opposite, moving at a relaxed pace allowed him to appreciate the beauty of nature more fully and made the whole outdoor experience far more meaningful and memorable. That first trip lit up Ryan’s heart with a new kind of joy, and he was excited to see how much his grandma enjoyed the experience. Determined to keep their adventure going, the pair made a plan to travel to the other 62 National Parks across America together. The journey was an incredible challenge, even for regular hikers, let alone an elderly woman with little hiking experience, so they took their time and spent nearly eight years completing the whole tour. Ryan said his grandma viewed the world with a special attitude — she never thought she would come back to any place again, so she lived every moment more fully and sincerely. After reaching their final destination — the National Park of American Samoa in the South Pacific in 2023, they became closer than ever and eventually set an even more challenging goal: to travel to every continent in the world. 1. What inspired Brad Ryan to invite his grandma on the first trip? A. His passion for exploring national parks. B. His grandma’s lifelong regret of never seeing a mountain. C. His wish to strengthen their relationship. D. His grandma’s dream of climbing mountains. 2. The underlined word “ravaged” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________. A. damaged B. improved C. doubted D. recalled 3. How did Brad deal with the difficulty in hiking with his grandma? A. By going to fewer destination. B. By planning more short-distance trips. C. By traveling at a slower pace. D. By asking professional guides for help. 4. Which of the following may be the best title for the text? A. A Hike Through 63 US National Parks. B. An Elderly Woman’s Dream of Mountain Adventures. C. The Advantage of Travelling around the National Parks. D. A Journey Filled with Love and Deeper Experiences. B A recent study reveals that the “gap” between conversational turns serves as an objective measure of interpersonal connection: shorter gaps indicate a stronger sense of harmony. This finding emerges from the observation that people naturally respond to each other in about 250 milliseconds, an “honest signal” of attention beyond conscious control. The study found that participants reported greater enjoyment and connection when these gaps were shorter, and this pattern was held even within single conversations. The research involved 66 participants, either with strangers or friends in pair, having 10-minute recorded conversations. Participants later rated their moment-by-moment connection while watching the videos, confirming that connection peaks were in harmony with shorter gaps. Crucially, the feeling of connection depended far more on how quickly one’s partner responded than on one’s own response speed. Additionally, external observers perceived shorter conversational gaps as a clear sign of social connection. By manipulating (操纵) gap lengths in audio clips, the study showed that shorter gaps alone were sufficient to make observers judge pairs as more connected. The study also identified “super-connectors” — individuals who consistently responded faster across different partners, fostering feelings of warmth. However, simply trying to speed up responses is not a shortcut available, as true rapid response requires deep understanding and expectation of the other person’s perspective, achieved through active listening and genuine engagement. In essence, just as we use terms like “close” to describe intimacy (亲密感), the gaps in our conversations also “telescope” interpersonal space. By shrinking these gaps, we effectively reduce the psychological distance between ourselves and others. 5. What is the main function of the first paragraph? A. To present a study result. B. To raise a controversial question. C. To explain a psychological term. D. To introduce a common phenomenon. 6. How did the researchers collect the data on conversational gaps? A. By training participants to respond faster across partners. B. By measuring total silence duration in each conversation. C. By comparing conversations between strangers and friends. D. By having participants rate connection while watching videos. 7. What does the author suggest about being true connectors in the fourth paragraph? A. They can teach others to connect better. B. They rely on conscious effort to respond. C. They are born with the ability to connect. D. They respond consistently to diverse partners. 8. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Intimate relationships depend on frequent communication. B. Telescopes are useful tools for studying interpersonal space. C. Physical distance can be measured by conversational speed. D. Shortening response time helps narrow psychological distance. C Researchers have long been interested in how humans and animals make decisions by focusing on trial-and-error behavior informed by recent information. However, the conventional frameworks for understanding these behaviors may overlook certain realities of decision-making because they assume we make the best decisions after taking into account our past experiences. One new study uses AI in innovative ways to better understand this process. By using tiny artificial neural networks, the researchers’ work illuminates in detail what drives an individual’s actual choices. “Instead of assuming how brains should learn in bettering our decisions, we developed an alternative approach to discover how individual brains actually learn to make decisions,” explains Mattar, a professor in New York University. “This approach functions like a detective, uncovering how decisions are actually made by animals and humans. By using tiny neural networks — small enough to be understood but powerful enough to catch complex behavior — we’ve discovered decision-making strategies that scientists have overlooked for decades.” “Large neural networks used in AI are very good at predicting things,” says Benna, a professor at UC San Diego’s School. “For example, they can predict which movie you would like to watch next. However, it is very challenging to describe simply what strategies these complex machine learning models use to make their predictions — such as why they think you will like one movie more than another one. By training the simplest versions of these AI models to predict animals’ choices and analyzing their dynamics using methods from physics, we can throw light on their inner workings in more easily understandable terms.” Understanding how animals and humans learn from experience to make decisions is not only a primary goal in the sciences, but, more broadly, useful in the fields of business, government, and technology. However, existing models of this process, because they are aimed at describing optimal (最佳的) decision-making, often fail to get realistic behavior. “Just as studying individual differences in physical characteristics has revolutionized medicine, understanding individual differences in decision-making strategies could transform our approach to mental health and cognitive function,” concludes Mattar. 9. What can be inferred about traditional decision-making models? A. They are consistent with real-life decision behavior. B. They pay much attention to individual differences. C. They tend to ignore choices that are not the best ones. D. They draw on AI-based methods in decision making. 10. What is special about the new study? A. Using tiny neural networks. B. Analyzing past experiences. C. Predicting movie preferences. D. Revisiting conventional frameworks. 11. What does Benna mean concerning large neural networks? A. They lack predictive accuracy. B. Their strategies are hard to interpret. C. They outperform tiny networks in research. D. They revolutionize decision-making studies. 12. What is Mattar’s attitude towards the new research? A. Cautiously skeptical. B. Indifferently neutral. C. Strongly supportive. D. Mildly critical. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Uncovering your strengths is important for career growth and personal satisfaction. ____13____ By understanding your natural abilities, you position yourself to excel (擅长) in roles that fit with your talents.

Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination----the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago he saw figurines(小塑像) of Marvel superheroes on the shelves and felt he had to have one. He’s been walking the neighbor’s dog ever since then to earn money to fulfil his little dream. He was so excited and barely noticing the world around him. Maybe that’s why he tripped over the legs of a homeless woman, who was sitting on the pavement, her back against the wall. He murmured(低语) "sorry" and moved on to his destination. Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more----all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman. “You like these, true believer?” Tommy turned around. An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face. “Y-yes, …Yes, they’re awesome!” answered Tommy. “They’re strong and fast and help other people a lot ...”the boy looked at figurines in admiration. “I wish I could be a superhero too.” “Then become one!” said the old man. “How?” Tommy asked in surprise. “I don’t have any superpowers.” “And why would you need them?” the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy's face, he squatted(蹲下) and put his hands on Tommy's arms. “Did you know that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled husband? She’s been working hard and taking care of him for years. I’ve never heard a word of complaint from her. And this person ---” he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. “He’s a firefighter; he’s saved countless lives. He never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be.” The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. “You don’t need a superpower to be a hero for someone else. The path of a superhero starts not in the mind, not in the muscles, but in the heart.” 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes thinking intensely. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
