Known as the “Noah’s Ark (诺亚方舟) For Plants”, the Gurukula Botanical Reserve in Kerala, India, protecting valuable plant species damaged by deforestation, urbanization, and climate change, is carefully tended by a team of 20 mostly local women.
It began in 1981 when Wolfgang Theuerkauf, a German conservationist, was gifted seven acres of old-growth rainforest. Back then, the surrounding land was being cleared for tea and fruit plantations (种植园). Wolfgang quickly acted when he saw the ancient rainforest, holding diverse plant species, start to disappear. He began to collect endangered plants, bringing them back to his land, where the Reserve was initially created. He employed and trained women of the local, rural communities. Though lacking formal education, the women were familiar with their surroundings. They learned through hands-on experience: transplanting, observing, and persevering through trial and error.
One of them, Laly Joseph, joined as a young woman. “I liked working with plants, so I joined,” she recalls. Years later, she now leads the Reserve’s plant conservation work and has even co-authored several scientific papers. Another woman, Lakshmi, used to pick coffee beans for low wages. Now she manages over 100 species of plants. There is also Sheena, a senior gardener who joined at age 15. The job has supported her children and mother after she lost her husband.
Using traditional wisdom and hands-on experimentation, the team patiently cultivates endangered plants until they can be reintroduced into the wild. Specifically, they focus on herbaceous (草本的) plants, which are vital for holding the ecosystem together. “Forests are substantially more than trees,” shares Subrabha Seshan, an educator at the Reserve. As the restored forest becomes thicker and more ecologically complex, it has attracted a wealth of wildlife:240 bird species, 20 snake species, over 65 butterfly species, and 15 small mammal species. This biodiversity proves that the team is on the right path.
“We’re restoring nature’s ability to heal(治愈)itself,” Seshan tells the Guardian, “We do some work, but nature’s doing most of the work.”
4. What motivated Wolfgang to start the Reserve?
A. The request from tea growers. B. His commitment to the gifted land.
C. The loss of the local rainforest. D. His determination to fight climate change.
5. What did the team of women benefit from working in the Reserve?
A. Interest in scientific research. B. Formal university education.
C. Personal growth and stable life. D. Working skills and international fame.
6. What do Subrabha Seshan’s words mean in paragraph 4?
A. Forest ecosystem is stable. B. Forests include diverse creatures.
C Wildlife protection is necessary. D. Substantial trees should be planted.
7. What is the passage mainly talking about?
A. Rich biodiversity in Kerala’s rainforests.
B. A German conservationist’s contribution.
C. How to protect endangered plant species.
D. Kerala women are restoring the rainforest.

AI-generated faces are becoming more and more common. Spotting a fake face created by AI might sound like a job for advanced algorithms (算法), but research suggests humans can learn to do it surprisingly well with just five minutes of training.
A study from the University of Reading found that a brief training showing people common flaws (瑕疵) in AI-generated faces boosted detection rates significantly. Additionally, the research revealed that most people without training perform worse when trying to identify AI-generated faces, often perceiving them as more realistic than actual human photographs.
The findings offer a practical solution to a growing security threat. AI-generated faces have already been used to create fake social media accounts, and as the technology improves, the potential for cheating and misinformation grows.
The study tested 664 participants, including people with exceptional face recognition abilities called super-recognizers. All participants viewed faces created by StyleGAN3, the most advanced face-generation system available at the time of data collection. The AI-generated images were paired with real photographs. Without training, typical participants scored just 42% accuracy when asked to identify which of two faces was AI-generated. Super-recognizers fared better at 54%, but still showed room for improvement.
The training intervention was remarkably simple. Researchers showed participants examples of minor flaws that AI systems sometimes leave in generated images. These included oddly rendered hair, unusual numbers of teeth, or strange transitions where facial features meet the background. Participants then completed ten practice trials and received immediate feedback (反馈) on whether their answers were correct. After that, super-recognizers jumped to 64% accuracy, performing significantly better than chance. Typical participants also improved substantially, getting rid of the tendency to perceive fake faces as more real than real ones.
For now, the message is clear: humans aren’t helpless against AI-generated faces. With just a few minutes of instruction on what to look for, people can significantly improve their ability to spot fakes in an increasingly digital world.
8. What do untrained people think of AI-generated faces according to the research?
A. They are unreliable. B. They have obvious flaws.
C. They are more realistic. D. They can be identified easily.
9. Which word has the closest meaning to “fared” in paragraph 4?
A. Emerged. B. Conveyed. C. Performed. D. Represented.
10. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. Steps of recognizing fake faces. B. Examples of minor flaws in images.
C. The effectiveness of the experiment. D. The method and effect of intervention.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Brief Training Boosts False Face Detection
B. The unrealistic Realism of AI-generated Faces
C. AI-generated Faces: A Growing Security Threat
D. Super-Recognizers: A Practical Solution
D
Umbrellas are extremely useful objects. They keep you dry when it is raining and in the summer, they can protect you from the sun. They come in an enormous variety of sizes and colors, but the design of a steel-ribbed (钢肋) umbrella hasn’t really changed since the 1850s when it was invented.
After all, if it’s not broken, don’t fix it. But that is not entirely the case. Umbrellas come with a design limitation, reported Fast Company, and that makes them unstable in wind. A strong wind can destroy the umbrella’s steel cage, making it unusable. But now there is a new frameless umbrella that works by folding like Japanese origami (折纸).
This newly designed Ori umbrella removes the unstable frame (over 1.2 billion broken umbrellas are abandoned every year) and uses a complex material canopy (伞盖) that fits into a 3.5-centimeter long container that is smaller than even the most mini-style umbrellas, according to the company website. The design team included MIT engineers and origami experts that usually worked in industries that require advanced structures, including satellites.
Fast Company reported that the team used an origami technique that was invented by Japanese astrophysicist Koryo Miura in 1970. This allows for a close and firm fold and has been used in satellites. When opened, the canopy feels solid and is wind-resistant, unlike a typical umbrella.
“Everyone owns one, yet the umbrella is a forgotten object, stuck in the past. We wanted to turn it into a modern device: smart, intentional, superior, and engineered like a modern device,” Ori founder Balcytis told Fast Company.
In addition to the new structural advances, Ori umbrella included some digital features into the canopy, according to DesignBoom. A built-in display monitors air-quality readings and weather. There is also an easy one-tap system to open and close the umbrella.
All of these interactive features introduce a smart system to the umbrella. This next generation high-tech product is not your great-grandfather’s umbrella and it’s not available in drugstores now. The first edition is planned for later in 2026.
12. Why are traditional steel-ribbed umbrellas unsatisfactory?
A. Their types are quite limited. B. They fail to resist strong wind.
C. They are inconvenient to carry. D. Their colors look old-fashioned.
13. What can we infer about the Ori umbrella?
A. It adopts advanced structures. B. It has a stabler frame.
C. It will not be abandoned. D. It is longer than 3.5 cm.
14. What additional function does Ori umbrella have?
A. Playing various digital videos. B. Predicting the weather.
C. Controlling temperature change. D. Checking air quality.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the Ori umbrella?
A. Doubtful. B. Pessimistic. C. Favorable. D. Uncertain.

In today’s workplace, the role of a manager is more complex than ever. Leaders are navigating a fast-changing economy, technological disruption (yes, AI really is reshaping the way we work), and evolving expectations about what it means to lead. At the same time, they are responsible for supporting teams of humans who are also feeling the weight of uncertainty and personal challenges. ____16____
But here’s the truth: perfection is impossible. Managers are human. ____17____ What truly defines great leadership is not a perfect record, but the way managers respond when things go wrong. So, what should a great leader do when they mess up?
Acknowledge it.
This is the foundation. Leaders must resist the instinct (本能) to deny responsibility or minimize the mistake… even when it wasn’t entirely theirs. ____18____ When team members see that it’s safe for the person in charge to admit mistakes, they’re far more likely to do the same, which cultivates a culture of openness and learning.
Apologize sincerely.
Many of us are conditioned to believe that apologizing signals weakness. ____19____ It demonstrates care, responsibility and respect for the people impacted by your actions. Apologizing for your role helps clear the air and paves the way for the team to move forward.
____20____
Leaders set the tone for reflective practice. When something goes wrong, be transparent (透明的) about what happened and what you’ll do differently next time. For bigger challenges, invite team members to reflect together. You might gain valuable insights and help deepen collective learning.
A. Share your learnings with the team.
B. Making mistakes is an unavoidable thing.
C. What matters most is how you deal with them.
D But it is essential for growth and trust-building.
E. In reality, a genuine apology is a powerful act of leadership.
F. Owning your part in a misstep promotes psychological safety.
G. It’s no wonder so many managers feel pressure to perform perfectly.

I grew up in a music-centered family. With an ambition of becoming a professional singer, I saved my competitive nature for the stage, not the ____21____ field.

I ____27____ myself on with reminders that it’s always good to try new things.
After months of practice, I gained the ____28____ to join Cardio Tennis, a nonprofessional local team. Though ____29____ by the wonderful tennis skill of the team members, I decided to keep trying with their encouragement. The support from the team helped me ____30____ overcome my fears and discover another passion.
Now it seems that the seat in the audience area is just like my shield against appearing ____31____ and inexperienced. But by putting myself in the game, I develop a sense of ____32____ and learn a new skill. I might never be able to achieve a skill level beyond that of common ____33____ players, but I’m willing to try, learn and practice. And I’ll keep ____34____ to play the game in the future.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every Sunday morning, 17-year-old Lina would wake up to the soft melody (旋律) from her grandpa’s old radio. The wooden radio, with an old red paint, had been with Grandpa for over 40 years. “It played the first song I danced to with your grandma,” Grandpa often said, gently wiping the radio with a cloth. Lina used to shake her head and roll her eyes at these stories — she preferred her smartphone’s playlists.
Last month, Grandpa fell ill and had to stay in the hospital. Before leaving, he handed the radio to Lina. “Take care of it, dear. It’ll remind you I’m always here,” he whispered. Lina nodded, but she placed the radio on a shelf in the attic (阁楼) , where her grandpa often put old things, forgetting about it amid her busy exam preparations.
A few days later, a thunderstorm hit their town. The power went out, and Lina’s phone died. Bored and anxious, she wandered around the entire house and spotted the old radio. Curious, she pushed the button, but only a noisy sound came out. Her heart sank — Grandpa’s precious radio was broken.
Lina rushed to the repair shop downtown. The shop owner, an elderly man, shook his head. “Parts for this model are impossible to find now,” he said. Lina walked out, feeling helpless. She thought of Grandpa’s smile when he talked about the radio and realized how much it meant to him.
That night, Lina sat by the window, staring at the radio. She remembered the times Grandpa had helped her with math problems, even when he was tired. “I can’t let this radio die,” she said firmly. Suddenly, she noticed a small note in the radio’s battery box.
Unfolding the note, Lina saw Grandma’s handwriting: “To my love — this radio will play our song even when I’m gone. Love lasts longer than things.” Tears rolled down Lina’s cheeks. She made a decision— she would fix the radio, no matter what. Then, Lina searched the attic for her grandpa’s old things, intending to find something related to the radio.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Under a pile of photo albums, she found a box filled with Grandpa’s old tools and a small bag of radio parts.

When Grandpa returned home several days later, Lina held the radio in her hands.

Known as the “Noah’s Ark (诺亚方舟) For Plants”, the Gurukula Botanical Reserve in Kerala, India, protecting valuable plant species damaged by deforestation, urbanization, and climate change, is carefully tended by a team of 20 mostly local women.
It began in 1981 when Wolfgang Theuerkauf, a German conservationist, was gifted seven acres of old-growth rainforest. Back then, the surrounding land was being cleared for tea and fruit plantations (种植园). Wolfgang quickly acted when he saw the ancient rainforest, holding diverse plant species, start to disappear. He began to collect endangered plants, bringing them back to his land, where the Reserve was initially created. He employed and trained women of the local, rural communities. Though lacking formal education, the women were familiar with their surroundings. They learned through hands-on experience: transplanting, observing, and persevering through trial and error.
One of them, Laly Joseph, joined as a young woman. “I liked working with plants, so I joined,” she recalls. Years later, she now leads the Reserve’s plant conservation work and has even co-authored several scientific papers. Another woman, Lakshmi, used to pick coffee beans for low wages. Now she manages over 100 species of plants. There is also Sheena, a senior gardener who joined at age 15. The job has supported her children and mother after she lost her husband.
Using traditional wisdom and hands-on experimentation, the team patiently cultivates endangered plants until they can be reintroduced into the wild. Specifically, they focus on herbaceous (草本的) plants, which are vital for holding the ecosystem together. “Forests are substantially more than trees,” shares Subrabha Seshan, an educator at the Reserve. As the restored forest becomes thicker and more ecologically complex, it has attracted a wealth of wildlife:240 bird species, 20 snake species, over 65 butterfly species, and 15 small mammal species. This biodiversity proves that the team is on the right path.
“We’re restoring nature’s ability to heal(治愈)itself,” Seshan tells the Guardian, “We do some work, but nature’s doing most of the work.”
4. What motivated Wolfgang to start the Reserve?
A. The request from tea growers. B. His commitment to the gifted land.
C. The loss of the local rainforest. D. His determination to fight climate change.
5. What did the team of women benefit from working in the Reserve?
A. Interest in scientific research. B. Formal university education.
C. Personal growth and stable life. D. Working skills and international fame.
6. What do Subrabha Seshan’s words mean in paragraph 4?
A. Forest ecosystem is stable. B. Forests include diverse creatures.
C. Wildlife protection is necessary. D. Substantial trees should be planted.
7. What is the passage mainly talking about?
A. Rich biodiversity in Kerala’s rainforests.
B. A German conservationist’s contribution.
C. How to protect endangered plant species.
D. Kerala women are restoring the rainforest.

AI-generated faces are becoming more and more common. Spotting a fake face created by AI might sound like a job for advanced algorithms (算法), but research suggests humans can learn to do it surprisingly well with just five minutes of training.
A study from the University of Reading found that a brief training showing people common flaws (瑕疵) in AI-generated faces boosted detection rates significantly. Additionally, the research revealed that most people without training perform worse when trying to identify AI-generated faces, often perceiving them as more realistic than actual human photographs.
The findings offer a practical solution to a growing security threat. AI-generated faces have already been used to create fake social media accounts, and as the technology improves, the potential for cheating and misinformation grows.
The study tested 664 participants, including people with exceptional face recognition abilities called super-recognizers. All participants viewed faces created by StyleGAN3, the most advanced face-generation system available at the time of data collection. The AI-generated images were paired with real photographs. Without training, typical participants scored just 42% accuracy when asked to identify which of two faces was AI-generated. Super-recognizers fared better at 54%, but still showed room for improvement.
The training intervention was remarkably simple. Researchers showed participants examples of minor flaws that AI systems sometimes leave in generated images. These included oddly rendered hair, unusual numbers of teeth, or strange transitions where facial features meet the background. Participants then completed ten practice trials and received immediate feedback (反馈) on whether their answers were correct. After that, super-recognizers jumped to 64% accuracy, performing significantly better than chance. Typical participants also improved substantially, getting rid of the tendency to perceive fake faces as more real than real ones.
For now, the message is clear: humans aren’t helpless against AI-generated faces. With just a few minutes of instruction on what to look for, people can significantly improve their ability to spot fakes in an increasingly digital world.
8. What do untrained people think of AI-generated faces according to the research?
A. They are unreliable. B. They have obvious flaws.
C. They are more realistic. D. They can be identified easily.
9. Which word has the closest meaning to “fared” in paragraph 4?
A. Emerged. B. Conveyed. C. Performed. D. Represented.
10. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. Steps of recognizing fake faces. B. Examples of minor flaws in images.
C. The effectiveness of the experiment. D. The method and effect of intervention.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Brief Training Boosts False Face Detection
B. The unrealistic Realism of AI-generated Faces
C. AI-generated Faces: A Growing Security Threat
D. Super-Recognizers: A Practical Solution
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. A

Umbrellas are extremely useful objects. They keep you dry when it is raining and in the summer, they can protect you from the sun. They come in an enormous variety of sizes and colors, but the design of a steel-ribbed (钢肋) umbrella hasn’t really changed since the 1850s when it was invented.
After all, if it’s not broken, don’t fix it. But that is not entirely the case. Umbrellas come with a design limitation, reported Fast Company, and that makes them unstable in wind. A strong wind can destroy the umbrella’s steel cage, making it unusable. But now there is a new frameless umbrella that works by folding like Japanese origami (折纸).
This newly designed Ori umbrella removes the unstable frame (over 1.2 billion broken umbrellas are abandoned every year) and uses a complex material canopy (伞盖) that fits into a 3.5-centimeter long container that is smaller than even the most mini-style umbrellas, according to the company website. The design team included MIT engineers and origami experts that usually worked in industries that require advanced structures, including satellites.
Fast Company reported that the team used an origami technique that was invented by Japanese astrophysicist Koryo Miura in 1970. This allows for a close and firm fold and has been used in satellites. When opened, the canopy feels solid and is wind-resistant, unlike a typical umbrella.
“Everyone owns one, yet the umbrella is a forgotten object, stuck in the past. We wanted to turn it into a modern device: smart, intentional, superior, and engineered like a modern device,” Ori founder Balcytis told Fast Company.
In addition to the new structural advances, Ori umbrella included some digital features into the canopy, according to DesignBoom. A built-in display monitors air-quality readings and weather. There is also an easy one-tap system to open and close the umbrella.
All of these interactive features introduce a smart system to the umbrella. This next generation high-tech product is not your great-grandfather’s umbrella and it’s not available in drugstores now. The first edition is planned for later in 2026.
12. Why are traditional steel-ribbed umbrellas unsatisfactory?
A. Their types are quite limited. B. They fail to resist strong wind.
C. They are inconvenient to carry. D. Their colors look old-fashioned.
13. What can we infer about the Ori umbrella?
A. It adopts advanced structures. B. It has a stabler frame.
C. It will not be abandoned. D. It is longer than 3.5 cm.
14. What additional function does Ori umbrella have?
A. Playing various digital videos. B. Predicting the weather.
C. Controlling temperature change. D. Checking air quality.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the Ori umbrella?
A. Doubtful. B. Pessimistic. C. Favorable. D. Uncertain.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过传承人、工作室创始人和大学教授的观点,介绍了传统蓝印花布如何通过创新和现代设计适应现代生活,焕发新的生命力。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:传统与现代的碰撞激发了它的时尚转型。根据空前的形容词fashionable可知,空处需填名词transformation作宾语,表示“转型”,不可数名词。故填transformation。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:蓝印花布,从时间的深处浮现,通过创新的表达重生。提示词修饰名词expression,用形容词形式是innovative作定语,表示“创新的”。故填innovative。
【38题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:我们必须保持不变的是我们传统的染色技术。be是谓语动词,句子描述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时态,从句“What must remain unchanged”作主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式,且故填is。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:为了使非物质文化遗产融入现代生活,我们需要在坚定地保持其传统实用性和美感的同时,确保它适合当前的背景。提示词修饰动词preserving,用副词firmly作状语,表示“坚定地”。故填firmly。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:适应蓝印花布以满足当今的需求是至关重要的。“(meet) today’s needs”是“Adapting blue calico”的目的,用不定式作目的状语。故填to meet。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意:如意工作室的创始人王如意指出,蓝印花布总是带有一种古老、朴素的魅力,但往往缺乏现代品味。根据空前的“blue calico always carries an ancient, plain charm”和空后的“often lacks modern taste”可知,空处前后是转折关系,应用连词but连接。故填but。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:所以,她想设计配饰,以时尚的方式重新想象它,为这门艺术注入新的活力。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词accessories,指物,且在定语从句中作宾语,应用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:正如王如意介绍的,她的设计理念融合了古老魅力和现代时尚,将民族元素与现代风格相结合,使其对更多年轻人有吸引力。appeal to为固定短语,表示“吸引”。故填to。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:南京艺术学院教授龚建培表示,从更新的角度来看,我们的非物质文化遗产不仅应该传承下去,还应该拓展和提升到新的高度。carry forward(延续,保留)是谓语动词,与主语our intangible cultural heritage之间是被动关系,用被动语态,与空前的should构成含有情态动词的被动语态should not be carried。故填be carried。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“我和学生们所做的工作已经在图案上进行了创新,创造了一个全新的外观,对人们和整个社会更具吸引力,”他指出。“(create) a fresh, new look that is...”作结果状语,create(创造)用非谓语动词形式,用现在分词表示自然而然的结果。故填creating。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every Sunday morning, 17-year-old Lina would wake up to the soft melody (旋律) from her grandpa’s old radio. The wooden radio, with an old red paint, had been with Grandpa for over 40 years. “It played the first song I danced to with your grandma,” Grandpa often said, gently wiping the radio with a cloth. Lina used to shake her head and roll her eyes at these stories — she preferred her smartphone’s playlists.
Last month, Grandpa fell ill and had to stay in the hospital. Before leaving, he handed the radio to Lina. “Take care of it, dear. It’ll remind you I’m always here,” he whispered. Lina nodded, but she placed the radio on a shelf in the attic (阁楼) , where her grandpa often put old things, forgetting about it amid her busy exam preparations.
A few days later, a thunderstorm hit their town. The power went out, and Lina’s phone died. Bored and anxious, she wandered around the entire house and spotted the old radio. Curious, she pushed the button, but only a noisy sound came out. Her heart sank — Grandpa’s precious radio was broken.
Lina rushed to the repair shop downtown. The shop owner, an elderly man, shook his head. “Parts for this model are impossible to find now,” he said. Lina walked out, feeling helpless. She thought of Grandpa’s smile when he talked about the radio and realized how much it meant to him.
That night, Lina sat by the window, staring at the radio. She remembered the times Grandpa had helped her with math problems, even when he was tired. “I can’t let this radio die,” she said firmly. Suddenly, she noticed a small note in the radio’s battery box.
Unfolding the note, Lina saw Grandma’s handwriting: “To my love — this radio will play our song even when I’m gone. Love lasts longer than things.” Tears rolled down Lina’s cheeks. She made a decision— she would fix the radio, no matter what. Then, Lina searched the attic for her grandpa’s old things, intending to find something related to the radio.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Under a pile of photo albums, she found a box filled with Grandpa’s old tools and a small bag of radio parts.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Under a pile of photo albums, she found a box filled with Grandpa’s old tools and a small bag of radio parts. “Grandpa must have kept these parts for the radio” Lina said excitedly. She spent the whole weekend following the repair guide she found online, connecting wires and adjusting sounds. Whenever she felt frustrated, she read Grandma’s note again. Finally, the radio was fixed. It can play Grandpa’s favourite song again. Lina danced happily, just like Grandpa used to.
When Grandpa returned home several days later, Lina held the radio in her hands. As soon as he heard the melody, Grandpa’s eyes lit up. “That’s… that’s our song” he said, tears streaming down his face. Lina hugged him tightly. “I know it’s not just a radio, Grandpa. It’s your love for Grandma,” she said. From that day on, Lina no longer ignored Grandpa’s stories. She learned that some things — like family love — are far more precious than any new technology.
