Yet, I was determined to go ahead. I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”. The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills! The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself. Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust (再调整). Not the start I wanted! At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!” By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again. By mile 21, I was starving! As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a. m. or questioned my expenses on running. I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had. Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels (世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”. 1．A month before the marathon, the author ________. A．was well trained B．felt scared C．lost hope D．made up his mind to run 2．Why did the author mention the P. E. class in his 7th year? A．To acknowledge the support of his teacher. B．To show he was not talented in sports. C．To amuse the readers with a funny story. D．To share a precious memory. 3．How was the author’s first marathon? A．He walked to the end. B．He quit halfway. C．He got the first prize. D．He made it. 4．What does the story mainly tell us? A．A man owes his success to his family support. B．Failure is the mother of success. C．A winner is one with a great effort of will. D．One is never too old to learn. Passage 2 I started playing volleyball for two reasons. Primarily, my parents wanted me to try out a sport that could make me enjoy workouts. I also knew that my mom loved playing it in Venezuela when she was younger. I thought maybe I could feel the same. Indeed, I fell in love with it after just a couple of practices. In between practices, I would stretch (伸出) my arms out, hold my hands together and push my wrists down to try to build muscle memory of the perfect platform. I would catch the ball, focusing on forming a triangular (三角形的) shape each time, with my right hand guiding the movement. Each time I’d release the ball upwards, I knew I was one try closer to getting it right. I worked tirelessly because I wanted to get better. I wanted to be great one day. However, I lacked the head start most girls had. I started playing years after many other girls had. I was thrown into the deep end when the club where I practiced placed me on their most competitive team for my age group mid-season. Most of the girls did not welcome me. While this competition within and between teams was sometimes productive, it proved to be unhealthy. It was dangerous when it reached a tipping point. By the end of my freshman year of high school, I’d reached my breaking point. Over four years, I only touched a volleyball a couple of times and only in casual settings. When the opportunity came to play with one of my best friends in a series of friendly matches, I hesitated. I eventually agreed, making it a point not to be so hard on myself. Volleyball finally brought the same enjoyment that had made me fall in love with it. I look forward to every opportunity I have to play now. I expect there will be more volleyball sessions. 1．Why did the author begin to play volleyball? A．She dreamed of becoming a great player. B．She was forced by her mother to play.

Passage 3 At the Linda Nolen Learning Center in Pelham, 17-year-old Holayn Marandu arrived at her school’s 2026 prom (毕业舞会) wearing a custom-made dress inspired by her own detailed drawing. The effort began when Holayn, an autistic (自闭症的) student with a gift for art, drew the dress she hoped to wear to prom. Her drawings, described by her family and educators as colorful and highly detailed, have long been one of the primary ways she expresses herself. After sharing her idea with school staff, her teacher Cynthia Parker posted the drawing online in search of someone willing to bring it to life. That request quickly caught on. Eventually Shondra Patterson, a tailor, volunteered to create the dress. The project drew additional support from community members who contributed resources and encouragement along the way, turning a single request into a broader effort to make the student’s idea a reality. While the finished dress became the centerpiece of the evening, Holayn’s reaction to seeing her design come to life reflected the sense of excitement described by those closest to her. Just weeks earlier, the dress existed only as an idea she translated onto paper. Holayn, who did not speak until around age 8, has developed a unique and confident voice over time. When asked about her talent, she often describes herself as a “world-famous artist”. That confidence carried into prom night, where she entered wearing the dress she imagined and was later named prom queen, drawing cheers from classmates, staff, and supporters. The praise added something special to an evening that also reflected the environment created at the Linda Nolen Learning Center — a school with a long-time goal of helping students with special needs through teaching that fits each student and through working with the community. The effort also showed how quickly a local school community can grow beyond the school grounds. The online post connected educators with a skilled tailor and drew support from individuals who had never met the student. 1．What can be inferred about Holayn’s drawings? A．They were first noticed by a tailor. B．They help her make more friends. C．They are intended for fashion design. D．They are her main communication tool. 2．Why did Cynthia Parker post Holayn’s drawing online? A．To draw attention to autism. B．To seek for kind help. C．To sell the artwork for donation. D．To show Holayn’s artistic skills. 3．Which is a feature of Linda Nolen Learning Center? A．Offering individualized teaching. B．Having a garden-like environment. C．Centering on community service. D．Educating special students through art. 4．What does Holayn’s story mainly show? A．Every dog has its day. B．Practice makes perfect. C．Many hands make light work. D．A picture is worth a thousand words. Passage 4 One day, when I was going to check in at an airport, I noticed there was a big problem. The counter person was telling everyone that all the planes were having problems and they would not be able to fly! And it was suggested that a bus would be provided to take us to Seattle. Everyone was worried, as we only had an hour and a half to make the connecting flight, and the bus was not even at the airport yet. Finally, the bus pulled up, and the driver said, “They just pulled me out of bed after an all-night shift (夜班), and they expect me to get you to Seattle in time to catch your flight. Good luck!” Needless to say, everyone was in a really bad mood. I was loading my baggage into the bus and had hung my banjo (班卓琴)over my back when the bus driver said, “What? Are you going to play that on my bus?” “Well, really did not plan on it,” I replied. “I was only kidding,” said the driver. But I started thinking about it, and I pulled out the banjo. A worried, angry woman said, “Well, what if I don’t like it?” “Then tell me and I’ll stop,” I replied. We drove off, and the tension (紧张) made the atmosphere inside the bus horrendous! Then I started performing the old standard Blue Skies. In a few minutes, I noticed everyone was singing along. I started to sing, too, and before long, the whole bus burst into song. One song led to another. Everyone laughed and sang, with food passed around the bus, and before long, the airport was in sight. The bus driver called, “We made it! We would never have done it without the help of our banjo player.” Shouts of approval (同意) rang through the bus. People exchanged addresses and invitations to visit, and a few exchanged hugs. A few weeks later, my mailbox was filled with letters from my new friends. Their letters reminded me of how, by reaching out with just a song or a bit of friendship, you can turn a very tense situation into a peaceful experience — a magical, musical bus ride. 1．What happened to the author at the airport?

Passage 5 Parents may worry that their children aren’t getting enough quality sleep. However, now there’s a smart bed to provide adults with sleep data through a smart app. The SleepIQ bed can send a signal of attention to parents when their children are asleep, as well as if they are risking out of bed. If a child is tossing and turning (辗转反侧), it can also be adjusted to make it more comfortable. The bed was first introduced at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). It claims to be the only one in the world, which adjusts with children as they grow. Children don’t need to wear a smart-band or alternative wearable device in bed. Instead, the quality of their sleep is measured by sensors in the bed, which monitor their present, average breathing rate, heart rate and movement. Then it assesses quality of sleep. They are given a SleepIQ score for each night’s sleep. Using an accompanying app, parents can see it clearly. It also allows parents to monitor routines that affect sleep, such as exercise, caffeine and screen time, helping children to develop a routine that helps develop a good night’s shut-eye. The bed sends a signal to the app when it senses a child is out of bed or restless, such as if he is having a nightmare (噩梦). Its firmness can be adjusted to change the level of comfort and support to suit children as they grow. A “head tilt (倾斜)” feature for reading is built in, and parents can remotely turn a light out after reading time using the app. There are also fun features such as a “monster scanner”, which uses a mobile phone to check for and fight “monsters” under the bed. What’s more, an automatic light will guide children if they need to get up in the middle of the night. The bed is available online and at Sleep Number stores in the US from around $499, almost the same as the beds we are sleeping on. 1．How does the SleepIQ bed measure children’s sleep quality? A．By checking children’s wearable smart watches. B．By recording children’s screen time every night. C．By collecting parents’ daily sleeping information. D．By monitoring children’s breathing rate, heart rate and  movement. 2．What can be inferred from having the SleepIQ bed? A．It can completely stop children from suffering from bad dreams forever. B．It greatly reduces parents’ worries about their kids’ sleeping problems. C．It prevents children from doing any reading activities before bedtime. D．It makes parents no longer need to look after their kids at night at all. 3．What can be learned from the text? A．The SleepIQ bed is the best bed around the world. B．Children will never fall out of the SleepIQ bed. C．The smart bed is as cheap as an ordinary one. D．Another smart bed is needed with children growing older. 4．What does the text mainly talk about? A．How to get a good sleep. B．How parents take care of children. C．The smart bed helping sleep better. D．Risks that children face when sleeping. 说明文 Passage 1 A little brain training today may help delay Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia (老年痴呆症) for at least 20 years. That’s the conclusion of a study of older adults who participated in a cognitive exercise experiment in the 1990s that was designed to increase the brain’s processing speed. The federally funded study of 2,802 people found that those who did 8 to 10 roughly hourlong sessions of cognitive speed training, as well as at least one booster session, were about 25% less likely to be diagnosed with dementia over the next two decades. “We now have a gold-standard study that tells us that there is something we can do to reduce our risk for dementia,” says Marilyn Albert, an author of the study and a professor of neurology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “It’s super-exciting to see that the effect is still lasting 20 years,” says Jennifer O’Brien, an associate professor of psychology at the University of South Florida who was not involved in the research. The new study used Medicare records to see what happened to participants in the ACTIVE study, a controlled trial designed to compare various forms of brain training. ACTIVE included exercises designed to boost memory and reasoning, as well as speed. But only the people who did speed training were less likely to be diagnosed with dementia. That could be because this form of brain training appears to trigger (诱发) something called implicit learning (内隐学习), which involves acquiring unconscious or automatic skills, like swimming or tying a shoelace. “We know that implicit learning operates differently in the brain and has more long-lasting effects,” Albert says. “You can learn to ride a bike in about 10 hours of training,” says Henry Mahncke, a neuroscientist and the CEO of BrainHQ’s parent company, Posit Science. And even if you don’t practice for the next 20 years, he says, you will still have“a bike-riding brain.” 1．What did the cognitive exercise experiment aim to do? A．To cure Alzheimer’s disease completely. B．To improve the speed of brain’s processing. C．To find causes of different types of dementia. D．To test long-term effects of mental activities. 2．What can be inferred according to paragraph 3? A．Dementia risk can be lowered with certain measures. B．Brain training has become a regular clinical treatment. C．Gold-standard studies usually focus on dementia research. D．Dementia can be effectively controlled with long-term training. 3．Why is cognitive speed training effective? A．It helps people learn practical skills. B．It improves memory and reasoning. C．It tracks health with official Medicare records. D．It produces long-lasting effects via implicit learning. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Preventing Elderly Brain Aging Process. B．Boosting Unconscious implicit Learning. C．Studying Causes for Dementia Treatment. D．Lowering Dementia Risk via Brain Training. Passage 2 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. 1．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. 2．What is special about the new study? A．Using tiny neural networks. B．Analyzing past experiences. C．Predicting movie preferences. D．Revisiting conventional frameworks. 3．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. 4．What is Mattar’s attitude towards the new research? A．Cautiously skeptical. B．Indifferently neutral. C．Strongly supportive. D．Mildly critical. Passage 3 Imagine going to bed at 2AM with a 6 AM alarm. You may expect a day of aching eyes and clouded thoughts, but is it possible to wake up feeling clear-headed and positive? We live in a world obsessed with the golden 8 hours of sleep. But what if the secret to feeling refreshed has little to do with how much we have actually slept? A wave of new research suggests that, in many cases, the way we think about sleep matters more than the hours we get. To test this, a UCLA study tracked 249 people with depression for 13 weeks, comparing their actual sleep time with their self-reports. The mismatch between the two sets of data was striking. Many people claimed they had slept terribly but the objective data showed otherwise. Interestingly, when participants performed cognitive (认知) tests, it was the self-reported sleep quality that predicted their performance, rather than the objective sleep data. In other words, the belief that they had slept badly weakened their thinking the next day more than the sleep itself. This phenomenon, where beliefs create real physical effects, is similar to the placebo effect (安慰剂效应). In a 2021 experiment, researchers secretly adjusted clocks. Those who thought they slept 8 hours but only got 5 performed better on reaction-time tests than those who got 8 hours but thought they slept 5. Brain scans confirmed that believing they slept well reduced “sleep drive” signals, making them more clear-headed and energetic. So, how can we control this “sleep mindset”? Researcher Nicole Tang found that the quality of our sleep changes based on our daytime experiences. In her study, people who engaged in positive physical activity during the day tended to rate their previous night’s sleep as better, even if it was objectively poor. This suggests that forcing yourself to exercise or stay active after a bad night’s sleep can actually reshape your memory of it. Furthermore, practicing mindfulness, or questioning the rigid “8-hour rule” can foster a more positive mindset. While getting enough sleep is ideal, knowing that your mindset matters might unlock greater energy, resetting your brain for a clear and positive day. 1．What did the UCLA study find about people with depression? A．Their actual sleep time was longer than they reported. B．Their thinking was mainly shaped by objective sleep data. C．Believing they slept poorly hurt thinking more than actual sleep. D．Their self-reported sleep quality was completely unreliable. 2．What can be inferred from Nicole Tang’s finding? A．Staying active after poor sleep helps people feel better. B．Daytime experiences have little influence on sleep quality. C．People’s memory of sleep is always accurate. D．Exercise can directly improve the actual duration of sleep. 3．What is the author’s attitude toward the “8-hour rule”? A．Supportive. B．Critical. C．Neutral. D．Indifferent. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Our sleep mindset affects how refreshed we feel. B．Day exercise can replace night sleep needs. C．Actual sleep time is vital for mental health. D．Depressed people often misreport their sleep. Passage 4 Cities worldwide are witnessing a transformation in urban environments. Wildlife populations in cities are not only surviving but often becoming larger than those in rural areas. Urban bird populations in cities like Berlin have increased by over 40% in the past two decades. These aren’t just typical pigeons and sparrows, but hawks and owls, and even non-native species that have found urban environments surprisingly pleasant. The urban heat island effect, often seen as a negative consequence of city development, creates microclimates many species find irresistible. Warmer temperatures extend growing seasons, provide frost-free zones, and create diverse microhabitats within a single city block. Urban environments also offer abundant food resources. Raccoons in Toronto have learned techniques to open garbage cans. The steady supply of food waste and reduced animal predators in nature create what ecologists call “urban ecological release”. Urban wildlife’s fast growth not only reshapes ecosystems but brings health benefits to humans. Studies show people in areas with higher biodiversity experience lower rates of autoimmune diseases. Mental health benefits are equally impressive: urban residents who encounter wildlife report lower stress and improved mood. Yet this boom isn’t all positive. Urban animals are developing behavioral changes — increased aggression and interrupted migration routes. Disease spread is also critical as populations grow more crowded, threatening humans and animals alike. Forward-thinking cities are pioneering architectural innovations. Green roofs in Copenhagen aren’t just for beauty — they’re functioning ecosystems supporting plants, insects, and birds, cutting energy costs by up to 30% while providing paths for wildlife to move. Wildlife bridges like Ecoduct de Woeste Hoeve let over 5,000 deer cross highways safely, reducing wildlife-vehicle accidents by 80%. The future of urban wildlife coexistence is promising, driven by tech advances and public awareness. Smart tech enables wildlife monitoring, and innovative designs create shared livable spaces. Emerging biotech may revolutionize management: genetic tools help study urban animal adaptation, aiding threatened species. The key is thinking of cities as integrated ecosystems. As urbanization grows, coexistence lessons grow more valuable. Living alongside urban wildlife is certainly possible. What really matters is whether we are willing to embrace this partnership with an open attitude. 1．What can we know about urban wildlife from Paragraph 1? A．They are mainly from rural areas. B．They tend to avoid human contact. C．They have adapted to urban pollution. D．They have grown in diversity. 2．What does the underlined word “irresistible” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A．Easy to escape. B．Too attractive to refuse. C．Difficult to understand. D．Unlikely to survive. 3．What can the urban wildlife boom bring? A．Lowered rates of disease spread. B．An improved sense of well-being. C．Impressive migration routes of wildlife. D．Positive behavioral changes in wildlife. 4．What is crucial for urban wildlife coexistence? A．A slower pace of urbanization. B．Advanced genetic technologies. C．An open and adaptive mindset. D．A ban on urban wildlife. Passage 5 Has your mom or dad ever posted a photo of you on social media that you don’t want anyone outside your family to see? In an age where people regularly share personal information on websites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, many parents post photos of their children on a regular basis. On average, a parent will post almost 1,000 photos of a child online before the children turn 5, according to a survey. Parents often post photos on social media because they want to share their children’s milestones and special moments with friends and family. Some moms and dads do it as a way to connect with other parents. They may be seeking health tips or other parenting advice. Most parents don’t consult their children for permission before posting photos of them. They feel it is not necessary to consult the children first because the benefits outweigh (比……更重要) any possible risks. Other parents and child experts believe that children older than age 6 should be consulted. They say that the photos can stay online for many years and that children should have some control over their online presence. Devorah Heitner is an author who runs workshops about children and digital world. She believes that parents should set their children’s consent before posting their photos. “It teaches your child that his or her image is his or her own,” she said. “It helps their recognize that sharing is a choice and that some things are private.” What do you think? Should parents get their children’s permission before posting photos? 1．What might be the reason that parents put their children’s photos online? A．To catch others’ attention. B．To communicate with their children. C．To show off their children’s pretty looks. D．To share their children’s graduation ceremony. 2．What does the underlined word “consent” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Advice. B．Fortune. C．Permission. D．Devotion. 3．What does Devorah Heitner agree with about children’s images? A．Children have no right to post their digital photos. B．It’s parents’ choice whether to post children’s digital photos. C．Parents should teach their children that images are their privacy. D．Parents should post children’s digital photos without hesitation. 4．What is the topic of the text? A．The benefits of posting children’s photos online. B．Whether posting children’s photo online is good for them. C．The reasons why parents like to post their children’s photos online. D．Whether parents should get children’s permission before posting their photos. 议论文 Passage 1 Hundreds of thousands of conversations with a new chat robot have been found in search engine results. Users did not know this would happen. When the users of the new chat robot press a “share” button, a unique link is created. This link was meant for sharing with friends, but it also made the chats searchable on the Internet. A recent search found nearly 300,000 conversations from the new chat robot online. One expert called AI chatbots a “privacy disaster”. Forbes first reported this problem. They found more than 370,000 user conversations on the Internet. The BBC saw chats where users asked the new chat robot to create passwords, make meal plans for weight loss, and answer medical questions. This has happened before with other AI chat robots. A famous AI company recently stopped an experiment where shared AI chats appeared in search results. The company said chats are private unless users choose to share them. Earlier this year, another AI company also faced criticism when shared AI conversations appeared in a public feed. User names may be hidden in shared chats, but the conversations can still contain personal information. Experts say this is a serious privacy problem. “AI chat robots are a privacy disaster in progress,” said Prof Luc Rocher from University of Oxford. He added that leaked (泄露的) chats have shown full names, locations, mental health details, and business information. These leaks stay online forever. Carissa Veliz from University of Oxford said users were not told that their shared chats would appear in search results. “Our technology doesn’t even tell us what it’s doing with our data, and that’s a problem,” she said. 1．What can we know about the shared conversations with the new chat robot? A．The conversations are searchable. B．BBC first reported the conversation. C．About 370,000 chats were found online. D．An AI company formally responded. 2．What is Prof Luc Rocher’s attitude towards AI chat robots’ privacy issues? A．Optimistic. B．Indifferent. C．Critical. D．Doubtful. 3．What is Carissa Veliz’s view about tech companies? A．They lack enough entertainment options. B．They don’t inform users how data is used. C．They overcharge for AI chatbots. D．They focus too much on privacy protection. 4．What is mainly talked about in the text? A．Development of AI chat robots. B．How to use AI chat robots safely. C．Privacy leaks of AI chat robots. D．Suggestions on improving AI chat robots. Passage 2 In an increasingly individualistic world, giving time, resources or skills acts as a powerful antidote to societal isolation (孤独). Charity activities deepen human connections, improve interpersonal relationships and positively affect people’s mental and emotional well-being. This passage explores the various benefits of altruism (无私奉献), highlighting its value in strengthening community ties and bringing personal satisfaction. The natural desire for connection drives people to take part in voluntary work. Joining community service and charitable events helps develop a sense of belonging, connecting people with peers who hold similar values. Shared experiences under a common goal can build long-lasting friendships and social networks. For example, volunteering at local shelters meets community needs and allows personal communication, strengthening social relationships that would otherwise stay shallow. Altruism also greatly benefits mental health. Kind acts can release endorphins, known as “helper’s high”, to lift mood and bring happiness. Research shows regular volunteers suffer less from depression and anxiety, with higher life satisfaction. Their positive emotions spread to society, forming a positive cycle of kindness and mental wellness. Besides, kindness helps build empathy and inner strength. Involvement with different groups enables people to understand others’ difficulties and become more compassionate. This improves interpersonal communication and creates a more inclusive society. Volunteer experiences also inspire self-reflection and personal growth, developing people’s ability to handle pressure and stay emotionally persistent. In short, the benefits of giving go far beyond immediate help. It builds closer communities and relieves social isolation. Practicing altruism refreshes human bonds and improves mental health, benefiting both givers and receivers. A giving spirit creates a more compassionate and harmonious society and greatly shapes the whole community. 1．What does the word “antidote” most probably mean in Paragraph 1? A．An effective solution. B．A harmful result. C．A social trend. D．A mental disease. 2．According to the passage, which is an immediate and direct result of engaging in acts of kindness? A．The cultivation of empathy and emotional resilience. B．The significant improvement of social fairness. C．The building of lasting friendships and social networks. D．The release of endorphins that improve mood. 3．How is the passage mainly organized? A．By presenting a problem and then offering several solutions. B．By stating a claim and supporting it with three arguments. C．By comparing different views on the value of acts of kindness. D．By listing historical examples to explain altruistic behavior. 4．Based on the essay, what can be inferred from the passage? A．People without extra money are not able to participate in charity effectively. B．Social isolation in modern society is mainly caused by lack of charity. C．Being kind would have significant impact on health. D．Being kind can remove depression and anxiety. Passage 3 On any given night, countless teenagers share their anxiety and loneliness with AI chatbots. A survey published by Common Sense Media found that 72 percent of American teenagers have used AI chatbots as companions, with millions seeking “emotional or mental health support” from them. For many adolescents, these digital companions are popular because they are always available and never judgmental. However, this trend has raised serious alarms among experts. Research shows that when asked about self-harm, some chatbots have offered dangerous advice or failed to lead users to meaningful action. Operating in a “gray zone” between casual advice and professional therapy (治疗), these tools can sometimes provide unsafe guidance that might normalize harmful behaviors for teenagers. The risks are particularly high because the teenage brain is still developing. In regions governing impulse (冲动) control and emotional regulation, young people are more easily influenced and less equipped to judge the accuracy or safety of advice. This is one reason why their emotions can be so easily affected by digital platforms. Despite these concerns, AI chatbots show potential when specifically trained as digital therapists. For example, a study on “Therabot” showed significant reductions in depression among users. Yet, these findings from adults don’t necessarily apply to teenagers. To ensure safety, researchers suggest using strict standards to test whether a chatbot can distinguish between helpful and harmful responses. In recent tests, some AI models even performed better than trained professionals, but they still showed a tendency to rate potentially harmful advice too positively. Rather than a total quit, a middle path is needed. Experts call for a set of rules similar to those applied to medical devices, including age-appropriate safety standards and strict privacy protections. By acting now to set evidence-based standards, we can actively shape how AI supports teenagers’ mental health, rather than repeating the mistakes of unchecked social media. 1．What does the survey by Common Sense Media show? A．AI chatbots can treat depression effectively. B．Most teenagers use AI chatbots for entertainment. C．Teenagers prefer human friends to AI companions. D．A majority of teens seek emotional support from AI. 2．What can we infer about chatbots from paragraph 2? A．They function as professional medical tools. B．They are designed to replace human therapists. C．They might treat harmful behaviors as normal. D．They provide more accurate advice than humans. 3．Why does the author mention the teenage brain? A．To show how age affects brain development. B．To explain why teenagers are easily impacted by AI chatbot. C．To suggest that experts are seriously worried about brain health. D．To describe the physical changes of the teenagers’ brain. 4．What is the author’s attitude toward the future of AI in teen mental health? A．Objective. B．Negative C．Unclear D．Doubtful Passage 4 Public trust in science is declining in the U.S. As people become increasingly skeptical (怀疑的) about scientists and scientific institutions, belief in misinformation and disinformation is on the rise. Some science “skeptics” are pushing back on pasteurization (巴氏灭菌法) and buying into dangerous diet trends. You might have friends and family members who’ve been affected by pseudoscientific (伪科学的) influencers and begun to believe common but false ideas about health. In science, simple answers are rare and information is constantly developing as new data and research emerge, which makes it challenging to identify the most accurate guidance amid a sea of potential truths. In contrast, misinformation and disinformation often offer easy-to-understand explanations that “seem reasonable,” Lucy Butler, a psychology researcher says. “Solutions that appear simple and logical are often quite appealing to the public.” Then there’s our information ecosystem. In recent years, there’s been a migration from centralized media which is subject to an editorial process, to platforms like YouTube and Facebook. Through the Internet, anybody can produce content about anything, regardless of their knowledge and the factual nature of that information. It can be frustrating to watch misunderstanding spread. And it’s easy to criticize anyone who expresses skepticism or concerns about scientific ideas as unintelligent. But that would be inaccurate and ineffective. “We need to understand that people’s belief in pseudoscience comes from a very natural place. People are, almost all of the time, trying to do what’s best for themselves and their families,” says Butler. “Health ends up at the center of so many disinformation campaigns.” So if you find yourself in a conversation with a family member who seems misinformed about a hot-button health topic, it’s important to approach them without judgment. Sharing personal experiences can establish trust and connection. If you’re faced with questions to which you lack answers, honesty is key. 1．What is a major factor driving individuals to accept pseudoscience? A．A desire for straightforward explanations. B．Mistrust in the accuracy of traditional media. C．The lack of logical and reasoning skills. D．The inability to understand complex scientific concepts. 2．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．How influencers help people understand scientific facts. B．How the shift in information sources leads to misinformation. C．Why misinformation seems more reliable than scientific facts. D．Why people prefer social media over traditional news sources. 3．How should we respond to people spreading misinformation according to Butler? A．Stay away from them. B．Criticize their lack of intelligence. C．Point out their mistakes right away. D．Show understanding of their intention. 4．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To tell us how to tackle pseudoscience. B．To warn people of social media dangers. C．To prove science is difficult to learn. D．To advise netizen to avoid pseudoscience. Passage 5 How would you go without your smartphone? For many of us, our smartphone is the first and last thing we look at every day. We depend on it to perform a number of tasks and connect with our friends and family. But have we become addicted to our phones? Certainly, the inventor of the first mobile phone, American engineer Martin Cooper, thinks we might be. In a BBC interview, he suggested people quit scrolling (刷屏) and “get a life”. But of course, once we start scrolling or watching videos, we just can’t kick the habit. Psychologist Jean Twenge says we feel regret for “checking our phone again and again if we’re waiting for a text or getting really into social media then kind of, looking up and realizing that an hour has passed.” But does it matter if we make the most of this technology? Possibly, because like medicine, the problem appears when it is withdrawn. A study from King’s College London found young people couldn’t control the amount of time they spend on their phone. Such behaviour means that people become “anxious” or “upset” if they are not allowed to be on the phone continuously, which can cause anxiety and mental health problems. Interestingly, another study by the London School of Economics Science suggests we don’t just look at our phones when we receive text or email messages. The people they studied felt an automatic (自动的) need to check their phone, just as a smoker would light a cigarette. One solution could be an app that rewards (奖励) students for time spent away from their phones. Another choice is changing your smartphone to a dumbphone that has none of the things that turn your attention away. But mainly, perhaps, we just need to look up more and reconnect with the real world! 1．What is Martin Cooper’s attitude to focusing on smartphones? A．Uncaring. B．Doubtful. C．Unclear. D．Disapproval. 2．What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Stopped. B．Increased. C．Offered. D．Saved. 3．What is the author’s key suggestion in the last paragraph? A．Concentrate on studies. B．Get a reward for offline time. C．Buy a new smartphone. D．Contact the real world. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Benefits from Smartphones B．Addiction to Smartphones C．Development of Smartphones D．Disadvantages of Smartphones 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期末复习之阅读理解20篇 （期末热点话题） 大类 篇目 文章主题 应用文（5 篇） Passage1 第 34 届雨舞电影节 2026 征片通知 Passage2 公民科学招募，NASA 夜光云观测项目 Passage3 CareBox 社区敬老志愿者积分服务计划 Passage4 阿尔伯克基博物馆门票、各类优惠政策 Passage5 弗吉尼亚理工大学儿童读写能力研究招募 记叙文（5 篇） Passage1 作者脚踝受伤仍坚持跑完首届马拉松，战胜自我 Passage2 作者苦练排球，队内竞争受挫搁置多年，放平心态重拾乐趣 Passage3 自闭症女孩手绘舞会礼服，社区众人合力圆梦，当选舞会皇后 Passage4 航班故障改乘大巴，作者弹奏班卓琴化解全车紧张氛围 Passage5 SleepIQ 智能儿童监测床，睡眠监测、调节、多重贴心功能 说明文（5 篇） Passage1 大脑速度训练可延缓老年痴呆至少 20 年，内隐学习长效作用 Passage2 微型神经网络 AI 新技术，突破传统人类决策研究模型 Passage3 睡眠心态比实际时长更影响精神状态，安慰剂效应佐证 Passage4 城市野生动物数量增多、利弊共存，生态建筑实现人与动物共存 Passage5 家长社交平台晒娃照片，是否需要提前征得孩子同意 议论文（5 篇） Passage1 AI 聊天机器人分享对话无防护，大量隐私信息全网泄露 Passage2 无私奉献 / 志愿行为：稳固社群、心理健康、塑造共情三重价值 Passage3 青少年热衷 AI 机器人倾诉心理情绪，有隐患也有改良方案 Passage4 美国大众科学信任度下降，伪科学盛行的三大成因与沟通对策 Passage5 现代人普遍智能手机成瘾，成瘾危害与脱离手机的解决办法 应用文 Passage 1 The 34th Raindance Film Festival Calls for Entry 2026!

Yet, I was determined to go ahead. I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”. The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills! The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself. Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust (再调整). Not the start I wanted! At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!” By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again. By mile 21, I was starving! As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a. m. or questioned my expenses on running. I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had. Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels (世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”. 1．A month before the marathon, the author ________. A．was well trained B．felt scared C．lost hope D．made up his mind to run 2．Why did the author mention the P. E. class in his 7th year? A．To acknowledge the support of his teacher. B．To show he was not talented in sports. C．To amuse the readers with a funny story. D．To share a precious memory. 3．How was the author’s first marathon? A．He walked to the end. B．He quit halfway. C．He got the first prize. D．He made it. 4．What does the story mainly tell us? A．A man owes his success to his family support. B．Failure is the mother of success. C．A winner is one with a great effort of will. D．One is never too old to learn. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在首次马拉松赛前一个月脚踝受伤、训练时间严重不足的情况下，依然下定决心参赛，并在比赛中克服重重困难最终完赛的故事。作者通过这次经历告诉我们：真正的胜利属于那些拥有坚强意志、敢于挑战自我的人。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“A month before my first marathon (马拉松), one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead. (在我第一次参加马拉松比赛的前一个月，我的一只脚踝受伤了，这意味着我需要休养两周，而剩下的时间里我只有两周时间来训练。然而，我还是下定决心要参加比赛。)”可知，尽管受伤且只剩两周训练时间，作者仍然下定决心要跑马拉松。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“He later informed me that I was “not athletic”. (他后来告诉我我“不擅长运动”。)”以及第三段“The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. (我“不擅长运动”这个想法困扰了我很多年。)”可知，作者提到七年级体育课的经历，是为了说明自己在运动方面并没有天赋，这个标签曾经深深影响了他。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. (我是最后一批完成比赛的人之一。但我完成了！而且我获得了一枚奖牌。)”可知，作者虽然是最后几名完成比赛的，但他确实跑完了全程，成功完成。 4．主旨大意题。根据第三段“It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills! (这完全是与自己身体和意志的战斗。一场意志力的考验！)”以及最后一段“Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels, I can now call myself a “marathon winner”. (决心做自己，向前走，摆脱羞耻和世俗标签，我现在可以称自己为“马拉松赢家”了。)”可知，本文主要告诉我们：真正的赢家是那些拥有坚强意志力、敢于挑战自我的人。 Passage 2 I started playing volleyball for two reasons. Primarily, my parents wanted me to try out a sport that could make me enjoy workouts. I also knew that my mom loved playing it in Venezuela when she was younger. I thought maybe I could feel the same. Indeed, I fell in love with it after just a couple of practices. In between practices, I would stretch (伸出) my arms out, hold my hands together and push my wrists down to try to build muscle memory of the perfect platform. I would catch the ball, focusing on forming a triangular (三角形的) shape each time, with my right hand guiding the movement. Each time I’d release the ball upwards, I knew I was one try closer to getting it right. I worked tirelessly because I wanted to get better. I wanted to be great one day. However, I lacked the head start most girls had. I started playing years after many other girls had. I was thrown into the deep end when the club where I practiced placed me on their most competitive team for my age group mid-season. Most of the girls did not welcome me. While this competition within and between teams was sometimes productive, it proved to be unhealthy. It was dangerous when it reached a tipping point. By the end of my freshman year of high school, I’d reached my breaking point. Over four years, I only touched a volleyball a couple of times and only in casual settings. When the opportunity came to play with one of my best friends in a series of friendly matches, I hesitated. I eventually agreed, making it a point not to be so hard on myself. Volleyball finally brought the same enjoyment that had made me fall in love with it. I look forward to every opportunity I have to play now. I expect there will be more volleyball sessions. 1．Why did the author begin to play volleyball? A．She dreamed of becoming a great player. B．She was forced by her mother to play. C．She wanted to play matches with friends. D．She was encouraged to find joy in exercise. 2．What did the author do to improve her volleyball skills? A．She practiced the correct hand position. B．She stretched her arms for strength. C．She released the ball higher each time. D．She caught the ball to check her hand shape. 3．What can be inferred about the author’s competitive team experience? A．It improved her skills quickly. B．It taught her to handle teammates. C．It kept her away from volleyball. D．It proved that hard work pays off. 4．What does the author’s volleyball experience teach us? A．First love is hard to forget. B．Joy returns when you ease up on yourself. C．Pressure can sometimes break a person. D．A strict coach makes a great player. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】文章讲述了作者因父母的期望和母亲的影响开始打排球，通过刻苦练习追求进步，却因团队竞争压力过大而一度放弃，多年后以放松心态重新参与才找回最初乐趣的故事，揭示了在运动与生活中放下苛责、回归初衷的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Primarily, my parents wanted me to try out a sport that could make me enjoy workouts. (首先，父母希望我尝试一项体育运动，能让我从中享受锻炼的乐趣。)”可知，作者最初打排球的首要原因是父母希望她通过一项运动找到锻炼的乐趣。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“In between practices, I would stretch my arms out, hold my hands together and push my wrists down to try to build muscle memory of the perfect platform. I would catch the ball, focusing on forming a triangular shape each time, with my right hand guiding the movement. Each time I’d release the ball upwards, I knew I was one try closer to getting it right. I worked tirelessly because I wanted to get better. I wanted to be great one day. (训练之余，我会伸出双臂，双手合拢，下压手腕，努力练就标准垫球姿势的肌肉记忆。我会反复接球，每次刻意摆出三角形手型，用右手把控动作要领。每一次把球向上抛出，我都知道自己离标准动作又近了一步。我不知疲倦地练习，因为我想变得更优秀，我希望有一天能变得很棒。)”可知，作者通过反复练习正确的手部姿势来提升排球技术。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“However, I lacked the head start most girls had. I started playing years after many other girls had. I was thrown into the deep end when the club where I practiced placed me on their most competitive team for my age group mid-season. Most of the girls did not welcome me. While this competition within and between teams was sometimes productive, it proved to be unhealthy. It was dangerous when it reached a tipping point. By the end of my freshman year of high school, I’d reached my breaking point. (然而，我没有大多数女生那样的起步优势。其他很多女生早就开始打球了，我起步晚了好几年。赛季中途，我所在的俱乐部直接把我安排进了同年龄段实力最强的竞技队伍，让我一下子陷入了艰难的处境。队里大多数女生并不接纳我。队内以及队间的竞争有时能催人进步，但这里的竞争已经变得畸形不健康。当这种竞争达到临界点时就很危险。高一结束时，我彻底崩溃了。)”及第四段中“Over four years, I only touched a volleyball a couple of times and only in casual settings. (在接下来的四年里，我只偶尔碰过几次排球，而且都是随意玩玩。)”可知，作者在竞技团队经历了不友好的环境，并最终在高中第一年结束后崩溃，这段不好的经历让她多年都很少碰排球。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I eventually agreed, making it a point not to be so hard on myself. Volleyball finally brought the same enjoyment that had made me fall in love with it. I look forward to every opportunity I have to play now. I expect there will be more volleyball sessions. (最终我还是同意了，决定不再过分苛求自己。排球终于重新带给了我当初让我深深爱上它的那份快乐。现在我十分期盼每一次打球的机会，也期待能有更多打球的时光。)”可知，作者后期重新打球时，选择不对自己那么苛刻，重新找回了排球的乐趣，这一转变过程直接印证了：当一个人不再给自己施加过大压力、以轻松心态面对时，曾经的快乐便会回归。B选项“Joy returns when you ease up on yourself. (当你对自己放松要求时，快乐就会回归。)”精准概括了这一人生启示。 Passage 3 At the Linda Nolen Learning Center in Pelham, 17-year-old Holayn Marandu arrived at her school’s 2026 prom (毕业舞会) wearing a custom-made dress inspired by her own detailed drawing. The effort began when Holayn, an autistic (自闭症的) student with a gift for art, drew the dress she hoped to wear to prom. Her drawings, described by her family and educators as colorful and highly detailed, have long been one of the primary ways she expresses herself. After sharing her idea with school staff, her teacher Cynthia Parker posted the drawing online in search of someone willing to bring it to life. That request quickly caught on. Eventually Shondra Patterson, a tailor, volunteered to create the dress. The project drew additional support from community members who contributed resources and encouragement along the way, turning a single request into a broader effort to make the student’s idea a reality. While the finished dress became the centerpiece of the evening, Holayn’s reaction to seeing her design come to life reflected the sense of excitement described by those closest to her. Just weeks earlier, the dress existed only as an idea she translated onto paper. Holayn, who did not speak until around age 8, has developed a unique and confident voice over time. When asked about her talent, she often describes herself as a “world-famous artist”. That confidence carried into prom night, where she entered wearing the dress she imagined and was later named prom queen, drawing cheers from classmates, staff, and supporters. The praise added something special to an evening that also reflected the environment created at the Linda Nolen Learning Center — a school with a long-time goal of helping students with special needs through teaching that fits each student and through working with the community. The effort also showed how quickly a local school community can grow beyond the school grounds. The online post connected educators with a skilled tailor and drew support from individuals who had never met the student. 1．What can be inferred about Holayn’s drawings? A．They were first noticed by a tailor. B．They help her make more friends. C．They are intended for fashion design. D．They are her main communication tool. 2．Why did Cynthia Parker post Holayn’s drawing online? A．To draw attention to autism. B．To seek for kind help. C．To sell the artwork for donation. D．To show Holayn’s artistic skills. 3．Which is a feature of Linda Nolen Learning Center? A．Offering individualized teaching. B．Having a garden-like environment. C．Centering on community service. D．Educating special students through art. 4．What does Holayn’s story mainly show? A．Every dog has its day. B．Practice makes perfect. C．Many hands make light work. D．A picture is worth a thousand words. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】文章主要说明了自闭症女孩画出舞会礼服设计图，老师网上求助，裁缝与社区众人出手相助。她如愿穿上裙子并当选舞会皇后，尽显集体互助的温暖。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“Her drawings, described by her family and educators as colorful and highly detailed, have long been one of the primary ways she expresses herself.(她的画作被她的家人和教育工作者称赞为色彩丰富且细节详尽，长期以来，这一直是她表达自我的主要方式之一)”可知，霍拉恩的画作是她主要的交流工具。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“After sharing her idea with school staff, her teacher Cynthia Parker posted the drawing online in search of someone willing to bring it to life.(在向学校工作人员分享了自己的想法后，她的老师辛西娅·帕克将这幅画作发布到了网上，希望能有人愿意将其变为现实)”可知，辛西娅·帕克将霍拉恩的画作发布到网上是为了寻求善意的帮助。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The praise added something special to an evening that also reflected the environment created at the Linda Nolen Learning Center — a school with a long-time goal of helping students with special needs through teaching that fits each student and through working with the community.(这些赞扬为这个夜晚增添了别样的光彩。而这个夜晚本身也体现了琳达·诺伦学习中心所营造的氛围——这是一所长期致力于通过因材施教以及与社区合作来帮助有特殊需求的学生的学校)”可知，琳达·诺伦学习中心的一个特色是提供个性化教学。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The effort also showed how quickly a local school community can grow beyond the school grounds. The online post connected educators with a skilled tailor and drew support from individuals who had never met the student.(这一举措还展示了当地学校社区能够如何迅速在校园之外发展壮大。该网络帖子将教育工作者与一位熟练的裁缝联系了起来，并获得了从未见过这名学生的个人的大力支持)”可知，霍拉恩的故事主要体现了众人拾柴火焰高。 Passage 4 One day, when I was going to check in at an airport, I noticed there was a big problem. The counter person was telling everyone that all the planes were having problems and they would not be able to fly! And it was suggested that a bus would be provided to take us to Seattle. Everyone was worried, as we only had an hour and a half to make the connecting flight, and the bus was not even at the airport yet. Finally, the bus pulled up, and the driver said, “They just pulled me out of bed after an all-night shift (夜班), and they expect me to get you to Seattle in time to catch your flight. Good luck!” Needless to say, everyone was in a really bad mood. I was loading my baggage into the bus and had hung my banjo (班卓琴)over my back when the bus driver said, “What? Are you going to play that on my bus?” “Well, really did not plan on it,” I replied. “I was only kidding,” said the driver. But I started thinking about it, and I pulled out the banjo. A worried, angry woman said, “Well, what if I don’t like it?” “Then tell me and I’ll stop,” I replied. We drove off, and the tension (紧张) made the atmosphere inside the bus horrendous! Then I started performing the old standard Blue Skies. In a few minutes, I noticed everyone was singing along. I started to sing, too, and before long, the whole bus burst into song. One song led to another. Everyone laughed and sang, with food passed around the bus, and before long, the airport was in sight. The bus driver called, “We made it! We would never have done it without the help of our banjo player.” Shouts of approval (同意) rang through the bus. People exchanged addresses and invitations to visit, and a few exchanged hugs. A few weeks later, my mailbox was filled with letters from my new friends. Their letters reminded me of how, by reaching out with just a song or a bit of friendship, you can turn a very tense situation into a peaceful experience — a magical, musical bus ride. 1．What happened to the author at the airport? A．He missed his connecting flight. B．His flight was delayed on the way. C．He couldn’t board his flight as scheduled. D．He was sent to the wrong airport by mistake. 2．What can we learn from paragraph 2? A．The driver was excited to help them out. B．The driver doubted they could catch the flight. C．The driver refused to drive after the night shift. D．The driver got stuck in heavy traffic on the way. 3．What does the underlined word “horrendous” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Terrible. B．Awkward. C．Strange. D．Cheerful. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．A Tense Trip to Seattle. B．The Power of a Banjo Song. C．A Magical Bus Ride with Music. D．An Unforgettable Airport Experience. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】文章主要讲述作者在机场因航班故障需乘巴士前往西雅图赶转机，用班卓琴演奏缓解紧张气氛，最终顺利抵达并收获友谊的经历。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“The counter person was telling everyone that all the planes were having problems and they would not be able to fly! And it was suggested that a bus would be provided to take us to Seattle.(柜台工作人员告诉每个人所有飞机都出了问题，无法起飞！有人建议提供一辆巴士把我们送到西雅图)”可知，作者无法按计划登上航班。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“Finally, the bus pulled up, and the driver said, “They just pulled me out of bed after an all-night shift (夜班), and they expect me to get you to Seattle in time to catch your flight. Good luck!”(最后，巴士停了下来，司机说：“他们刚把我从床上拉起来，我刚上完一个通宵夜班，就指望我把你们及时送到西雅图赶上航班。祝你们好运！”)”可知，司机刚上完通宵夜班，对能否及时把大家送到西雅图赶上航班表示怀疑，用“祝你们好运”暗示难度很大。 3．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“We drove off, and the tension (紧张) made the atmosphere inside the bus horrendous! Then I started performing the old standard Blue Skies. In a few minutes, I noticed everyone was singing along.(我们开车出发了，紧张的气氛让巴士里的氛围 horrendous！然后我开始演奏经典老歌《蓝天》。几分钟后，我注意到每个人都跟着唱了起来)”可知，前文的紧张气氛与后文大家跟着唱歌的轻松氛围形成对比，由此可推测horrendous意为“糟糕的”，与terrible意思相近。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合最后一段中“Their letters reminded me of how, by reaching out with just a song or a bit of friendship, you can turn a very tense situation into a peaceful experience — a magical, musical bus ride.(他们的信件使我明白，仅凭一首歌或是一点善意去主动温暖他人，你就能把极度紧张的局面转变为平和的经历 —— 一场奇妙又充满音乐的巴士旅程)”可知，本文讲述了航班取消后，作者在转乘的大巴上弹奏班卓琴，带领大家唱歌，把原本紧张糟糕的旅程变成了轻松愉快的经历。C项“A Magical Bus Ride with Music(充满音乐的神奇巴士之旅)”能概括文章主旨，适合作标题。 Passage 5 Parents may worry that their children aren’t getting enough quality sleep. However, now there’s a smart bed to provide adults with sleep data through a smart app. The SleepIQ bed can send a signal of attention to parents when their children are asleep, as well as if they are risking out of bed. If a child is tossing and turning (辗转反侧), it can also be adjusted to make it more comfortable. The bed was first introduced at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). It claims to be the only one in the world, which adjusts with children as they grow. Children don’t need to wear a smart-band or alternative wearable device in bed. Instead, the quality of their sleep is measured by sensors in the bed, which monitor their present, average breathing rate, heart rate and movement. Then it assesses quality of sleep. They are given a SleepIQ score for each night’s sleep. Using an accompanying app, parents can see it clearly. It also allows parents to monitor routines that affect sleep, such as exercise, caffeine and screen time, helping children to develop a routine that helps develop a good night’s shut-eye. The bed sends a signal to the app when it senses a child is out of bed or restless, such as if he is having a nightmare (噩梦). Its firmness can be adjusted to change the level of comfort and support to suit children as they grow. A “head tilt (倾斜)” feature for reading is built in, and parents can remotely turn a light out after reading time using the app. There are also fun features such as a “monster scanner”, which uses a mobile phone to check for and fight “monsters” under the bed. What’s more, an automatic light will guide children if they need to get up in the middle of the night. The bed is available online and at Sleep Number stores in the US from around $499, almost the same as the beds we are sleeping on. 1．How does the SleepIQ bed measure children’s sleep quality? A．By checking children’s wearable smart watches. B．By recording children’s screen time every night. C．By collecting parents’ daily sleeping information. D．By monitoring children’s breathing rate, heart rate and  movement. 2．What can be inferred from having the SleepIQ bed? A．It can completely stop children from suffering from bad dreams forever. B．It greatly reduces parents’ worries about their kids’ sleeping problems. C．It prevents children from doing any reading activities before bedtime. D．It makes parents no longer need to look after their kids at night at all. 3．What can be learned from the text? A．The SleepIQ bed is the best bed around the world. B．Children will never fall out of the SleepIQ bed. C．The smart bed is as cheap as an ordinary one. D．Another smart bed is needed with children growing older. 4．What does the text mainly talk about? A．How to get a good sleep. B．How parents take care of children. C．The smart bed helping sleep better. D．Risks that children face when sleeping. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】主要介绍一款名为SleepIQ的智能儿童床，讲述它的睡眠监测功能、实用特色以及售卖价格等相关内容。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Instead, the quality of their sleep is measured by sensors in the bed, which monitor their present, average breathing rate, heart rate and movement.(相反，床内的传感器会监测孩子实时和平均呼吸频率、心率以及肢体活动，以此来衡量睡眠质量。)”可知，这款智能床依靠监测孩子的呼吸频率、心率和肢体活动来判定睡眠质量。 2．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Parents may worry that their children aren’t getting enough quality sleep. However, now there’s a smart bed to provide adults with sleep data through a smart app.(家长常会担心孩子睡眠质量不佳，而这款智能床可以借助应用软件向家长推送各类睡眠数据。)”可知，有了这款智能床，家长能够掌握孩子睡眠状况，大大减少对于孩子睡眠问题的担忧。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The bed is available online and at Sleep Number stores in the US from around $39, almost the same as the beds we are sleeping on.(这款智能床在美国线上门店及实体店均有售卖，售价约四百九十九美元，价格和普通床铺相差无几。)”可知，这款智能床的价格和普通床铺价格相近。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“However, now there’s a smart bed to provide adults with sleep data through a smart app.(如今出现了一款智能床，能够借助应用软件为家长提供睡眠相关数据。)”以及后文介绍的各项助眠功能可知，文章主要介绍的是可以助力改善睡眠的智能床。 说明文 Passage 1 A little brain training today may help delay Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia (老年痴呆症) for at least 20 years. That’s the conclusion of a study of older adults who participated in a cognitive exercise experiment in the 1990s that was designed to increase the brain’s processing speed. The federally funded study of 2,802 people found that those who did 8 to 10 roughly hourlong sessions of cognitive speed training, as well as at least one booster session, were about 25% less likely to be diagnosed with dementia over the next two decades. “We now have a gold-standard study that tells us that there is something we can do to reduce our risk for dementia,” says Marilyn Albert, an author of the study and a professor of neurology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “It’s super-exciting to see that the effect is still lasting 20 years,” says Jennifer O’Brien, an associate professor of psychology at the University of South Florida who was not involved in the research. The new study used Medicare records to see what happened to participants in the ACTIVE study, a controlled trial designed to compare various forms of brain training. ACTIVE included exercises designed to boost memory and reasoning, as well as speed. But only the people who did speed training were less likely to be diagnosed with dementia. That could be because this form of brain training appears to trigger (诱发) something called implicit learning (内隐学习), which involves acquiring unconscious or automatic skills, like swimming or tying a shoelace. “We know that implicit learning operates differently in the brain and has more long-lasting effects,” Albert says. “You can learn to ride a bike in about 10 hours of training,” says Henry Mahncke, a neuroscientist and the CEO of BrainHQ’s parent company, Posit Science. And even if you don’t practice for the next 20 years, he says, you will still have“a bike-riding brain.” 1．What did the cognitive exercise experiment aim to do? A．To cure Alzheimer’s disease completely. B．To improve the speed of brain’s processing. C．To find causes of different types of dementia. D．To test long-term effects of mental activities. 2．What can be inferred according to paragraph 3? A．Dementia risk can be lowered with certain measures. B．Brain training has become a regular clinical treatment. C．Gold-standard studies usually focus on dementia research. D．Dementia can be effectively controlled with long-term training. 3．Why is cognitive speed training effective? A．It helps people learn practical skills. B．It improves memory and reasoning. C．It tracks health with official Medicare records. D．It produces long-lasting effects via implicit learning. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Preventing Elderly Brain Aging Process. B．Boosting Unconscious implicit Learning. C．Studying Causes for Dementia Treatment. D．Lowering Dementia Risk via Brain Training. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】文章主要讲述了研究发现大脑速度训练可将痴呆症风险降低并延缓至少20年。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“a cognitive exercise experiment in the 1990s that was designed to increase the brain’s processing speed(一项20世纪90年代的认知运动实验，旨在提高大脑的处理速度。)”可知，该认知实验的目的是提高大脑的处理速度。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中“We now have a gold-standard study that tells us that there is something we can do to reduce our risk for dementia(我们现在有一项黄金标准的研究告诉我们，我们可以采取一些措施来降低患痴呆症的风险。)”可推断，痴呆症风险可以通过某些措施来降低。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“But only the people who did speed training were less likely to be diagnosed with dementia. That could be because this form of brain training appears to trigger (诱发) something called implicit learning (内隐学习), which involves acquiring unconscious or automatic skills, like swimming or tying a shoelace. “We know that implicit learning operates differently in the brain and has more long-lasting effects,” Albert says.(但只有进行过速度训练的人群，确诊老年痴呆症的概率更低。这或许是因为此类脑力训练能够激发内隐学习，也就是习得游泳、系鞋带这类无意识、下意识就能完成的本能技能。艾伯特表示：“我们清楚，内隐学习在大脑中的运作方式截然不同，且效果更为持久。”)”可知，认知速度训练之所以有效，是因为它通过内隐学习产生持久效果。 4．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“A little brain training today may help delay Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia (老年痴呆症) for at least 20 years.(今天进行一些大脑训练或许能将阿尔茨海默病及其他形式的痴呆症的发病时间推迟至少 20 年)”可知，文章围绕一项研究展开，说明大脑速度训练可将痴呆症的发生推迟至少20年，核心是通过大脑训练降低痴呆症风险。D选项“通过大脑训练降低痴呆症风险”最能概括全文主旨。 Passage 2 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. 1．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. 2．What is special about the new study? A．Using tiny neural networks. B．Analyzing past experiences. C．Predicting movie preferences. D．Revisiting conventional frameworks. 3．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. 4．What is Mattar’s attitude towards the new research? A．Cautiously skeptical. B．Indifferently neutral. C．Strongly supportive. D．Mildly critical. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 【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。 1．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。 2．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。 3．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。 4． 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。 Passage 3 Imagine going to bed at 2AM with a 6 AM alarm. You may expect a day of aching eyes and clouded thoughts, but is it possible to wake up feeling clear-headed and positive? We live in a world obsessed with the golden 8 hours of sleep. But what if the secret to feeling refreshed has little to do with how much we have actually slept? A wave of new research suggests that, in many cases, the way we think about sleep matters more than the hours we get. To test this, a UCLA study tracked 249 people with depression for 13 weeks, comparing their actual sleep time with their self-reports. The mismatch between the two sets of data was striking. Many people claimed they had slept terribly but the objective data showed otherwise. Interestingly, when participants performed cognitive (认知) tests, it was the self-reported sleep quality that predicted their performance, rather than the objective sleep data. In other words, the belief that they had slept badly weakened their thinking the next day more than the sleep itself. This phenomenon, where beliefs create real physical effects, is similar to the placebo effect (安慰剂效应). In a 2021 experiment, researchers secretly adjusted clocks. Those who thought they slept 8 hours but only got 5 performed better on reaction-time tests than those who got 8 hours but thought they slept 5. Brain scans confirmed that believing they slept well reduced “sleep drive” signals, making them more clear-headed and energetic. So, how can we control this “sleep mindset”? Researcher Nicole Tang found that the quality of our sleep changes based on our daytime experiences. In her study, people who engaged in positive physical activity during the day tended to rate their previous night’s sleep as better, even if it was objectively poor. This suggests that forcing yourself to exercise or stay active after a bad night’s sleep can actually reshape your memory of it. Furthermore, practicing mindfulness, or questioning the rigid “8-hour rule” can foster a more positive mindset. While getting enough sleep is ideal, knowing that your mindset matters might unlock greater energy, resetting your brain for a clear and positive day. 1．What did the UCLA study find about people with depression? A．Their actual sleep time was longer than they reported. B．Their thinking was mainly shaped by objective sleep data. C．Believing they slept poorly hurt thinking more than actual sleep. D．Their self-reported sleep quality was completely unreliable. 2．What can be inferred from Nicole Tang’s finding? A．Staying active after poor sleep helps people feel better. B．Daytime experiences have little influence on sleep quality. C．People’s memory of sleep is always accurate. D．Exercise can directly improve the actual duration of sleep. 3．What is the author’s attitude toward the “8-hour rule”? A．Supportive. B．Critical. C．Neutral. D．Indifferent. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Our sleep mindset affects how refreshed we feel. B．Day exercise can replace night sleep needs. C．Actual sleep time is vital for mental health. D．Depressed people often misreport their sleep. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍的是最新研究表明，人们对睡眠的主观认知和心态比实际睡眠时长更能影响第二天的精神状态和认知表现。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“To test this, a UCLA study tracked 249 people with depression for 13 weeks, comparing their actual sleep time with their self-reports. The mismatch between the two sets of data was striking. Many people claimed they had slept terribly but the objective data showed otherwise. Interestingly, when participants performed cognitive tests, it was the self-reported sleep quality that predicted their performance, rather than the objective sleep data. In other words, the belief that they had slept badly weakened their thinking the next day more than the sleep itself. (为验证这一观点，加州大学洛杉矶分校开展研究，对249名抑郁症患者进行了为期13周的追踪，对比他们的实际睡眠时间与自我上报的睡眠情况。两组数据差异十分明显：不少患者自述睡眠极差，但客观监测结果却截然相反。有趣的是，当参与者进行认知测试时，预测他们表现的是自我报告的睡眠质量，而非客观的睡眠数据。换句话说，认为自己睡得不好的信念对第二天思维的削弱作用超过了睡眠本身。)”可知，认为自己睡得不好的想法比实际睡眠不足对思维的伤害更大。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“In her study, people who engaged in positive physical activity during the day tended to rate their previous night’s sleep as better, even if it was objectively poor. This suggests that forcing yourself to exercise or stay active after a bad night’s sleep can actually reshape your memory of it. (在她的研究中，白天进行积极体育活动的人倾向于评价前一晚的睡眠更好，即使客观上睡眠质量很差。这表明，在睡眠不好后强迫自己锻炼或保持活跃，实际上可以重塑你对睡眠的记忆。)”可知，睡眠不好后保持活跃有助于人们感觉更好。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Furthermore, practicing mindfulness, or questioning the rigid ‘8-hour rule’ can foster a more positive mindset. (此外，练习正念，或质疑僵化的‘8小时规则’，可以培养更积极的心态。)”可知，作者对“8小时睡眠规则”持批判态度，认为不应固守这一标准。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“We live in a world obsessed with the golden 8 hours of sleep. But what if the secret to feeling refreshed has little to do with how much we have actually slept? A wave of new research suggests that, in many cases, the way we think about sleep matters more than the hours we get. (我们生活在一个执着于 “黄金八小时睡眠” 的世界。但倘若保持精力充沛的秘诀，其实和实际睡眠时间关系不大呢？一系列新研究表明，在很多情况下，我们对睡眠的心态远比睡眠时长更重要。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要论述的是我们对睡眠的心态，会影响自身的精神状态。 Passage 4 Cities worldwide are witnessing a transformation in urban environments. Wildlife populations in cities are not only surviving but often becoming larger than those in rural areas. Urban bird populations in cities like Berlin have increased by over 40% in the past two decades. These aren’t just typical pigeons and sparrows, but hawks and owls, and even non-native species that have found urban environments surprisingly pleasant. The urban heat island effect, often seen as a negative consequence of city development, creates microclimates many species find irresistible. Warmer temperatures extend growing seasons, provide frost-free zones, and create diverse microhabitats within a single city block. Urban environments also offer abundant food resources. Raccoons in Toronto have learned techniques to open garbage cans. The steady supply of food waste and reduced animal predators in nature create what ecologists call “urban ecological release”. Urban wildlife’s fast growth not only reshapes ecosystems but brings health benefits to humans. Studies show people in areas with higher biodiversity experience lower rates of autoimmune diseases. Mental health benefits are equally impressive: urban residents who encounter wildlife report lower stress and improved mood. Yet this boom isn’t all positive. Urban animals are developing behavioral changes — increased aggression and interrupted migration routes. Disease spread is also critical as populations grow more crowded, threatening humans and animals alike. Forward-thinking cities are pioneering architectural innovations. Green roofs in Copenhagen aren’t just for beauty — they’re functioning ecosystems supporting plants, insects, and birds, cutting energy costs by up to 30% while providing paths for wildlife to move. Wildlife bridges like Ecoduct de Woeste Hoeve let over 5,000 deer cross highways safely, reducing wildlife-vehicle accidents by 80%. The future of urban wildlife coexistence is promising, driven by tech advances and public awareness. Smart tech enables wildlife monitoring, and innovative designs create shared livable spaces. Emerging biotech may revolutionize management: genetic tools help study urban animal adaptation, aiding threatened species. The key is thinking of cities as integrated ecosystems. As urbanization grows, coexistence lessons grow more valuable. Living alongside urban wildlife is certainly possible. What really matters is whether we are willing to embrace this partnership with an open attitude. 1．What can we know about urban wildlife from Paragraph 1? A．They are mainly from rural areas. B．They tend to avoid human contact. C．They have adapted to urban pollution. D．They have grown in diversity. 2．What does the underlined word “irresistible” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A．Easy to escape. B．Too attractive to refuse. C．Difficult to understand. D．Unlikely to survive. 3．What can the urban wildlife boom bring? A．Lowered rates of disease spread. B．An improved sense of well-being. C．Impressive migration routes of wildlife. D．Positive behavioral changes in wildlife. 4．What is crucial for urban wildlife coexistence? A．A slower pace of urbanization. B．Advanced genetic technologies. C．An open and adaptive mindset. D．A ban on urban wildlife. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】文章主要介绍城市野生动物增多的原因、利弊及人与动物的共存方式。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Urban bird populations in cities like Berlin have increased by over 40% in the past two decades. These aren’t just typical pigeons and sparrows, but hawks and owls, and even non-native species that have found urban environments surprisingly pleasant. (在过去的二十年里，柏林等城市的城市鸟类数量增加了超过40%。这些不仅仅是典型的鸽子和麻雀，还有鹰和猫头鹰，甚至还有非本地物种——它们发现城市环境出奇地宜人。)”可知，城市野生动物的种类在增加，多样性在增长。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“The urban heat island effect, often seen as a negative consequence of city development, creates microclimates many species find irresistible. Warmer temperatures extend growing seasons, provide frost-free zones, and create diverse microhabitats within a single city block. (城市热岛效应通常被视作城市发展带来的负面影响，却造就了许多物种irresistible微气候。气温升高延长了植物生长周期，形成了无霜区域，并在单个城市街区内营造出多样的微栖息地。)”可知，城市热岛效应形成的微气候对物种很友好、极具吸引力，因此“irresistible”意为“太吸引人而无法拒绝”。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Urban wildlife’s fast growth not only reshapes ecosystems but brings health benefits to humans. Studies show people in areas with higher biodiversity experience lower rates of autoimmune diseases. Mental health benefits are equally impressive: urban residents who encounter wildlife report lower stress and improved mood. (城市野生动物数量的快速增长不仅重塑了生态系统，还为人类带来了健康益处。研究表明，生物多样性较高地区的人群，自身免疫性疾病的发病率更低。其对心理健康的益处同样显著：经常接触野生动物的城市居民，压力更小、情绪状态更好。)”可知，城市野生动物的繁荣能带来幸福感的提升。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“What really matters is whether we are willing to embrace this partnership with an open attitude. (真正重要的是我们是否愿意以开放的态度接受这种伙伴关系。)”可知，城市野生动物共存的关键在于开放和适应性的心态。 Passage 5 Has your mom or dad ever posted a photo of you on social media that you don’t want anyone outside your family to see? In an age where people regularly share personal information on websites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, many parents post photos of their children on a regular basis. On average, a parent will post almost 1,000 photos of a child online before the children turn 5, according to a survey. Parents often post photos on social media because they want to share their children’s milestones and special moments with friends and family. Some moms and dads do it as a way to connect with other parents. They may be seeking health tips or other parenting advice. Most parents don’t consult their children for permission before posting photos of them. They feel it is not necessary to consult the children first because the benefits outweigh (比……更重要) any possible risks. Other parents and child experts believe that children older than age 6 should be consulted. They say that the photos can stay online for many years and that children should have some control over their online presence. Devorah Heitner is an author who runs workshops about children and digital world. She believes that parents should set their children’s consent before posting their photos. “It teaches your child that his or her image is his or her own,” she said. “It helps their recognize that sharing is a choice and that some things are private.” What do you think? Should parents get their children’s permission before posting photos? 1．What might be the reason that parents put their children’s photos online? A．To catch others’ attention. B．To communicate with their children. C．To show off their children’s pretty looks. D．To share their children’s graduation ceremony. 2．What does the underlined word “consent” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Advice. B．Fortune. C．Permission. D．Devotion. 3．What does Devorah Heitner agree with about children’s images? A．Children have no right to post their digital photos. B．It’s parents’ choice whether to post children’s digital photos. C．Parents should teach their children that images are their privacy. D．Parents should post children’s digital photos without hesitation. 4．What is the topic of the text? A．The benefits of posting children’s photos online. B．Whether posting children’s photo online is good for them. C．The reasons why parents like to post their children’s photos online. D．Whether parents should get children’s permission before posting their photos. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．D 【导语】文章主要说明了如今家长常网上发孩子日常照片，多为分享成长瞬间、交流育儿经验，是否需征得孩子同意，专家与家长对此持有不同看法。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“Parents often post photos on social media because they want to share their children’s milestones and special moments with friends and family.(家长们常常在社交媒体上发布照片，因为他们想与朋友和家人分享孩子成长过程中的重要时刻和特别瞬间)”可推知，父母把孩子的照片放到网上，可能是为了分享孩子毕业典礼。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段“Most parents don’t consult their children for permission before posting photos of them.(大多数父母在上传孩子的照片之前不会征求孩子的同意)”可推知，划线词所在句子意为“她认为，父母在上传照片之前应该征得孩子的同意。”由此推知，划线词consent意为“同意”，与permission意思相近。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“She believes that parents should set their children’s consent before posting their photos. “It teaches your child that his or her image is his or her own,” she said. “It helps their recognize that sharing is a choice and that some things are private.”(她认为，父母在上传照片之前应该征得孩子的同意。“它告诉你的孩子，他或她的形象是他或她自己的。”她说。“这有助于他们的孩子认识到分享是一种选择，有些东西是隐私。”)”可推知，她认为父母应该教育他们的孩子，照片是他们的隐私。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据最后一段“What do you think? Should parents get their children’s permission before posting photos?(你怎么看？在上传照片之前，父母应该得到孩子的允许吗？)”可知，文章主要说明了如今家长常网上发孩子日常照片，多为分享成长瞬间、交流育儿经验，是否需征得孩子同意，专家与家长对此持有不同看法，即文章主要讨论了父母上传照片之前是否应该征得孩子的同意。 议论文 Passage 1 Hundreds of thousands of conversations with a new chat robot have been found in search engine results. Users did not know this would happen. When the users of the new chat robot press a “share” button, a unique link is created. This link was meant for sharing with friends, but it also made the chats searchable on the Internet. A recent search found nearly 300,000 conversations from the new chat robot online. One expert called AI chatbots a “privacy disaster”. Forbes first reported this problem. They found more than 370,000 user conversations on the Internet. The BBC saw chats where users asked the new chat robot to create passwords, make meal plans for weight loss, and answer medical questions. This has happened before with other AI chat robots. A famous AI company recently stopped an experiment where shared AI chats appeared in search results. The company said chats are private unless users choose to share them. Earlier this year, another AI company also faced criticism when shared AI conversations appeared in a public feed. User names may be hidden in shared chats, but the conversations can still contain personal information. Experts say this is a serious privacy problem. “AI chat robots are a privacy disaster in progress,” said Prof Luc Rocher from University of Oxford. He added that leaked (泄露的) chats have shown full names, locations, mental health details, and business information. These leaks stay online forever. Carissa Veliz from University of Oxford said users were not told that their shared chats would appear in search results. “Our technology doesn’t even tell us what it’s doing with our data, and that’s a problem,” she said. 1．What can we know about the shared conversations with the new chat robot? A．The conversations are searchable. B．BBC first reported the conversation. C．About 370,000 chats were found online. D．An AI company formally responded. 2．What is Prof Luc Rocher’s attitude towards AI chat robots’ privacy issues? A．Optimistic. B．Indifferent. C．Critical. D．Doubtful. 3．What is Carissa Veliz’s view about tech companies? A．They lack enough entertainment options. B．They don’t inform users how data is used. C．They overcharge for AI chatbots. D．They focus too much on privacy protection. 4．What is mainly talked about in the text? A．Development of AI chat robots. B．How to use AI chat robots safely. C．Privacy leaks of AI chat robots. D．Suggestions on improving AI chat robots. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】文章以一种新的AI聊天机器人的数十万条用户对话在搜索引擎泄露为切入点，介绍“分享”按钮生成的链接导致对话可被搜索的问题。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Hundreds of thousands of conversations with a new chat robot have been found in search engine results. Users did not know this would happen.(在搜索引擎的结果中，发现了数十万计与一款新聊天机器人进行的对话记录。用户们此前并不知晓会有这样的情况发生)”可知，与AI聊天机器人进行的数十万条用户对话，在用户不知情的情况下，被暴露在搜索引擎结果中，即这些对话是可搜索的。 2．推理判断题。根据第五段““AI chat robots are a privacy disaster in progress,” said Prof Luc Rocher from University of Oxford. He added that leaked (泄露的) chats have shown full names, locations, mental health details, and business information. These leaks stay online forever.(牛津大学的卢克·罗彻教授表示：“人工智能聊天机器人正在引发一场隐私危机。”他还指出，泄露的聊天记录中包含了全名、住址、心理健康状况以及商业信息等敏感内容。这些信息会永远保留在网络上)”可知，Luc Rocher称A I聊天机器人是进行中的隐私灾难，这表明他的态度是批评性的。 3．细节理解题。根据第六段“Carissa Veliz from University of Oxford said users were not told that their shared chats would appear in search results. “Our technology doesn’t even tell us what it’s doing with our data, and that’s a problem,” she said.(来自牛津大学的卡里萨·维利兹表示，用户并未被告知他们共享的聊天记录会出现在搜索结果中。她说：“我们的技术甚至都不会告知我们对数据的处理方式，这确实是个问题。”)”可知，Carissa Veliz指出技术未向用户说明数据处理方式是个问题。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第二段“When the users of the new chat robot press a “share” button, a unique link is created. This link was meant for sharing with friends, but it also made the chats searchable on the Internet. A recent search found nearly 300,000 conversations from the new chat robot online. One expert called AI chatbots a “privacy disaster”.(当新聊天机器人使用者点击“分享”按钮时，就会生成一个独特的链接。这个链接原本是为与朋友分享而设的，但同时也使得这些聊天内容能够在互联网上被搜索到。最近的一次搜索发现，有关新聊天机器人的聊天记录有近30万条之多。一位专家称人工智能聊天机器人造成了“隐私灾难”)”可知，这篇文章主要谈论的是人工智能聊天机器人存在的隐私泄露问题。 Passage 2 In an increasingly individualistic world, giving time, resources or skills acts as a powerful antidote to societal isolation (孤独). Charity activities deepen human connections, improve interpersonal relationships and positively affect people’s mental and emotional well-being. This passage explores the various benefits of altruism (无私奉献), highlighting its value in strengthening community ties and bringing personal satisfaction. The natural desire for connection drives people to take part in voluntary work. Joining community service and charitable events helps develop a sense of belonging, connecting people with peers who hold similar values. Shared experiences under a common goal can build long-lasting friendships and social networks. For example, volunteering at local shelters meets community needs and allows personal communication, strengthening social relationships that would otherwise stay shallow. Altruism also greatly benefits mental health. Kind acts can release endorphins, known as “helper’s high”, to lift mood and bring happiness. Research shows regular volunteers suffer less from depression and anxiety, with higher life satisfaction. Their positive emotions spread to society, forming a positive cycle of kindness and mental wellness. Besides, kindness helps build empathy and inner strength. Involvement with different groups enables people to understand others’ difficulties and become more compassionate. This improves interpersonal communication and creates a more inclusive society. Volunteer experiences also inspire self-reflection and personal growth, developing people’s ability to handle pressure and stay emotionally persistent. In short, the benefits of giving go far beyond immediate help. It builds closer communities and relieves social isolation. Practicing altruism refreshes human bonds and improves mental health, benefiting both givers and receivers. A giving spirit creates a more compassionate and harmonious society and greatly shapes the whole community. 1．What does the word “antidote” most probably mean in Paragraph 1? A．An effective solution. B．A harmful result. C．A social trend. D．A mental disease. 2．According to the passage, which is an immediate and direct result of engaging in acts of kindness? A．The cultivation of empathy and emotional resilience. B．The significant improvement of social fairness. C．The building of lasting friendships and social networks. D．The release of endorphins that improve mood. 3．How is the passage mainly organized? A．By presenting a problem and then offering several solutions. B．By stating a claim and supporting it with three arguments. C．By comparing different views on the value of acts of kindness. D．By listing historical examples to explain altruistic behavior. 4．Based on the essay, what can be inferred from the passage? A．People without extra money are not able to participate in charity effectively. B．Social isolation in modern society is mainly caused by lack of charity. C．Being kind would have significant impact on health. D．Being kind can remove depression and anxiety. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】文章主要讲述了无私奉献对个人心理健康和社会联结的多重益处。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段中“giving time, resources or skills acts as a powerful antidote to societal isolation(付出时间、资源或技能是对抗社会孤立的有力antidote)”可知，付出时间、资源或技能是对抗社会孤立的有力解药，antidote意为“解药”，即“有效的解决办法”。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Kind acts can release endorphins, known as “helper’s high”, to lift mood and bring happiness.(善举能释放内啡肽，即“助人者的愉悦感”，来提升情绪并带来快乐)”可知，释放内啡肽改善情绪是最直接、即时的生理反应。 3．推理判断题。文章第一段提出论点——无私奉献有多种益处；第二段论述加深人际联系，第三段论述有益心理健康，第四段论述培养共情与内在力量，共三个分论点支撑主旨；第五段总结。根据文章结构可知，本文先提出主张，再用三个论据支撑。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Altruism also greatly benefits mental health.(无私奉献也极大地有益于心理健康。)”可推断，善举对健康有显著影响。 Passage 3 On any given night, countless teenagers share their anxiety and loneliness with AI chatbots. A survey published by Common Sense Media found that 72 percent of American teenagers have used AI chatbots as companions, with millions seeking “emotional or mental health support” from them. For many adolescents, these digital companions are popular because they are always available and never judgmental. However, this trend has raised serious alarms among experts. Research shows that when asked about self-harm, some chatbots have offered dangerous advice or failed to lead users to meaningful action. Operating in a “gray zone” between casual advice and professional therapy (治疗), these tools can sometimes provide unsafe guidance that might normalize harmful behaviors for teenagers. The risks are particularly high because the teenage brain is still developing. In regions governing impulse (冲动) control and emotional regulation, young people are more easily influenced and less equipped to judge the accuracy or safety of advice. This is one reason why their emotions can be so easily affected by digital platforms. Despite these concerns, AI chatbots show potential when specifically trained as digital therapists. For example, a study on “Therabot” showed significant reductions in depression among users. Yet, these findings from adults don’t necessarily apply to teenagers. To ensure safety, researchers suggest using strict standards to test whether a chatbot can distinguish between helpful and harmful responses. In recent tests, some AI models even performed better than trained professionals, but they still showed a tendency to rate potentially harmful advice too positively. Rather than a total quit, a middle path is needed. Experts call for a set of rules similar to those applied to medical devices, including age-appropriate safety standards and strict privacy protections. By acting now to set evidence-based standards, we can actively shape how AI supports teenagers’ mental health, rather than repeating the mistakes of unchecked social media. 1．What does the survey by Common Sense Media show? A．AI chatbots can treat depression effectively. B．Most teenagers use AI chatbots for entertainment. C．Teenagers prefer human friends to AI companions. D．A majority of teens seek emotional support from AI. 2．What can we infer about chatbots from paragraph 2? A．They function as professional medical tools. B．They are designed to replace human therapists. C．They might treat harmful behaviors as normal. D．They provide more accurate advice than humans. 3．Why does the author mention the teenage brain? A．To show how age affects brain development. B．To explain why teenagers are easily impacted by AI chatbot. C．To suggest that experts are seriously worried about brain health. D．To describe the physical changes of the teenagers’ brain. 4．What is the author’s attitude toward the future of AI in teen mental health? A．Objective. B．Negative C．Unclear D．Doubtful 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文介绍如今多数青少年借助人工智能聊天机器人寻求心理陪伴，阐述该产品潜藏的安全隐患、自身发展潜力，并且提出要出台相关规范合理管控人工智能。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A survey published by Common Sense Media found that 72 percent of American teenagers have used AI chatbots as companions, with millions seeking “emotional or mental health support” from them.(Common Sense Media发布的一项调查发现，72%的美国青少年曾使用AI聊天机器人作为陪伴，其中数百万人向其寻求“情感或心理健康支持”。)”可知，大多数青少年确实在使用AI寻求情感支持。 2．推理判断题。 根据第二段中的“Operating in a “gray zone” between casual advice and professional therapy (治疗), these tools can sometimes provide unsafe guidance that might normalize harmful behaviors for teenagers.(这类工具游走在随意建议和专业治疗的灰色地带，有时给出不安全指引，有可能让青少年把有害行为视作常态。)”可知，聊天机器人可能会将有危害的行为视为正常。 3．推理判断题。 根据第三段中的“In regions governing impulse (冲动) control and emotional regulation, young people are more easily influenced and less equipped to judge the accuracy or safety of advice. This is one reason why their emotions can be so easily affected by digital platforms.(在控制冲动和调节情绪的脑区，年轻人更容易受到影响，且缺乏判断建议准确性或安全性的能力。这就是他们的情绪如此容易受到数字平台影响的原因之一。)”可知，作者提到青少年大脑是为了解释为什么他们容易被AI聊天机器人影响。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Despite these concerns, AI chatbots show potential when specifically trained as digital therapists.(尽管存在隐患，但经过专项训练的人工智能聊天机器人具备成为数字治疗专家的潜力)”以及最后一段中的“Rather than a total quit, a middle path is needed.(不能全盘摒弃，要走折中路线)” 可知，作者既点明弊端也认可潜力，态度客观。 Passage 4 Public trust in science is declining in the U.S. As people become increasingly skeptical (怀疑的) about scientists and scientific institutions, belief in misinformation and disinformation is on the rise. Some science “skeptics” are pushing back on pasteurization (巴氏灭菌法) and buying into dangerous diet trends. You might have friends and family members who’ve been affected by pseudoscientific (伪科学的) influencers and begun to believe common but false ideas about health. In science, simple answers are rare and information is constantly developing as new data and research emerge, which makes it challenging to identify the most accurate guidance amid a sea of potential truths. In contrast, misinformation and disinformation often offer easy-to-understand explanations that “seem reasonable,” Lucy Butler, a psychology researcher says. “Solutions that appear simple and logical are often quite appealing to the public.” Then there’s our information ecosystem. In recent years, there’s been a migration from centralized media which is subject to an editorial process, to platforms like YouTube and Facebook. Through the Internet, anybody can produce content about anything, regardless of their knowledge and the factual nature of that information. It can be frustrating to watch misunderstanding spread. And it’s easy to criticize anyone who expresses skepticism or concerns about scientific ideas as unintelligent. But that would be inaccurate and ineffective. “We need to understand that people’s belief in pseudoscience comes from a very natural place. People are, almost all of the time, trying to do what’s best for themselves and their families,” says Butler. “Health ends up at the center of so many disinformation campaigns.” So if you find yourself in a conversation with a family member who seems misinformed about a hot-button health topic, it’s important to approach them without judgment. Sharing personal experiences can establish trust and connection. If you’re faced with questions to which you lack answers, honesty is key. 1．What is a major factor driving individuals to accept pseudoscience? A．A desire for straightforward explanations. B．Mistrust in the accuracy of traditional media. C．The lack of logical and reasoning skills. D．The inability to understand complex scientific concepts. 2．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．How influencers help people understand scientific facts. B．How the shift in information sources leads to misinformation. C．Why misinformation seems more reliable than scientific facts. D．Why people prefer social media over traditional news sources. 3．How should we respond to people spreading misinformation according to Butler? A．Stay away from them. B．Criticize their lack of intelligence. C．Point out their mistakes right away. D．Show understanding of their intention. 4．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To tell us how to tackle pseudoscience. B．To warn people of social media dangers. C．To prove science is difficult to learn. D．To advise netizen to avoid pseudoscience. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】文章主要介绍如何看待并应对伪科学。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“In contrast, misinformation and disinformation often offer easy-to-understand explanations that “seem reasonable,” Lucy Butler, a psychology researcher says. “Solutions that appear simple and logical are often quite appealing to the public.”(心理学研究员露西・巴特勒表示，相比之下，虚假信息和误导性信息往往会给出通俗易懂，“看似合理” 的解释。“看似简单又合乎逻辑的解决方案，往往对大众极具吸引力。”)”可知，人们渴望简单直白的解释促使人们接受伪科学。 2．主旨大意题。根据第三段“In recent years, there’s been a migration from centralized media which is subject to an editorial process, to platforms like YouTube and Facebook. Through the Internet, anybody can produce content about anything, regardless of their knowledge and the factual nature of that information.(近年来，信息传播从有编辑审核流程的传统集中式媒体，转向了油管、脸书这类网络平台。在互联网上，任何人都可以创作任何内容，无论自身是否具备相关知识，也不管信息是否属实)”可知，第三段主要讲述了信息来源的转变如何催生虚假信息。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“We need to understand that people’s belief in pseudoscience comes from a very natural place. People are, almost all of the time, trying to do what’s best for themselves and their families(我们要明白，人们相信伪科学源于非常自然的心理。绝大多数时候，人们都只是想为自己和家人做出最好的选择)”可知，巴特勒认为要理解人们相信伪科学的本心和初衷，不要随意批判。 4．推理判断题。文章首先分析伪科学泛滥的原因，最后两段给出和被误导者沟通、理性处理的方法，由此可知，整体目的是介绍如何看待并应对伪科学。 Passage 5 How would you go without your smartphone? For many of us, our smartphone is the first and last thing we look at every day. We depend on it to perform a number of tasks and connect with our friends and family. But have we become addicted to our phones? Certainly, the inventor of the first mobile phone, American engineer Martin Cooper, thinks we might be. In a BBC interview, he suggested people quit scrolling (刷屏) and “get a life”. But of course, once we start scrolling or watching videos, we just can’t kick the habit. Psychologist Jean Twenge says we feel regret for “checking our phone again and again if we’re waiting for a text or getting really into social media then kind of, looking up and realizing that an hour has passed.” But does it matter if we make the most of this technology? Possibly, because like medicine, the problem appears when it is withdrawn. A study from King’s College London found young people couldn’t control the amount of time they spend on their phone. Such behaviour means that people become “anxious” or “upset” if they are not allowed to be on the phone continuously, which can cause anxiety and mental health problems. Interestingly, another study by the London School of Economics Science suggests we don’t just look at our phones when we receive text or email messages. The people they studied felt an automatic (自动的) need to check their phone, just as a smoker would light a cigarette. One solution could be an app that rewards (奖励) students for time spent away from their phones. Another choice is changing your smartphone to a dumbphone that has none of the things that turn your attention away. But mainly, perhaps, we just need to look up more and reconnect with the real world! 1．What is Martin Cooper’s attitude to focusing on smartphones? A．Uncaring. B．Doubtful. C．Unclear. D．Disapproval. 2．What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Stopped. B．Increased. C．Offered. D．Saved. 3．What is the author’s key suggestion in the last paragraph? A．Concentrate on studies. B．Get a reward for offline time. C．Buy a new smartphone. D．Contact the real world. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Benefits from Smartphones B．Addiction to Smartphones C．Development of Smartphones D．Disadvantages of Smartphones 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了智能手机已经成为人们生活中不可缺少的部分，很多人也都形成了手机依赖症并讲述了手机依赖症的特点及产生的问题，并希望人们能够多点时间放下手机，投入到现实世界中来。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“In a BBC interview, he suggested people quit scrolling (刷屏) and “get a life”.(在接受BBC采访时，他建议人们不要再刷手机了，要“享受生活”)”可推知，Martin Cooper不支持人们天天刷手机。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Such behaviour means that people become “anxious” or “upset” if they are not allowed to be on the phone continuously, which can cause anxiety and mental health problems.(这种行为意味着，如果不允许人们持续打电话，他们会变得“焦虑”或“不安”，这可能会导致焦虑和心理健康问题。)”可知，划线词所在句意为“有可能，因为就像药物一样，当它被停用时，问题就出现了”，也就是说手机就和药物一样，一直吃药会产生依赖，但一旦停药，身体就会出问题。由此推知，划线词withdrawn与A项“stopped停止”意思接近。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“But mainly, perhaps, we just need to look up more and reconnect with the real world!(但最主要的，也许我们只是需要抬头，重新连接到现实世界！)”可知，与现实世界的接触是作者在最后一段的关键建议。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“But have we become addicted to our phones?(但是我们已经对手机上瘾了吗？)”提出了文章的主题，下文对这一主题展开了描述，提出了人们对手机上瘾的症状和产生的问题，最后对此提出了建议。由此可知，B项“Addiction to Smartphones(智能手机成瘾)”适合作本文标题，能概括文章内容。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
