These races are held in urban centers as well as in areas of cultural and natural significance. Courses vary in difficulty and ground conditions, allowing runners to choose between flatter routes and more demanding ones. With multiple distance options available, participants can choose events based on their experience levels and personal goals.

D 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍了本文介绍了亚洲多国多场马拉松赛事，包含赛程、时间、价格与赛道类型等信息，并给出赛前注册、天气、住宿及高原温差训练等相关注意事项。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Asia offers a wide range of marathon events across different countries and regions.(亚洲在不同的国家和地区举办着种类繁多的马拉松赛事)”以及“With multiple distance options available, participants can choose events based on their experience levels and personal goals.(有多种距离选项可供选择，参与者可以根据自己的经验水平和个人目标来选择参加的项目)”可知，这些马拉松比赛有多种选择可供选择。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据图表中Songkhla Marathon中的信息以及对比与其他Marathon信息可知，Songkhla Marathon 设有5km最短赛程，且赛道为Flat（平坦），难度更低；其余赛事要么无5km 项目，要么赛道为起伏/山地类型。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Things To Think About部分“●Register before the event. ●Know the local weather, so you can train and dress appropriately.●Make sure that you are making accommodations through trustworthy sites for travel.●Don’t underestimate how the difference in altitude (海拔) or temperature will affect your running. (●活动开始前进行注册。●了解当地的天气情况，以便你能够合理安排训练和着装。●确保通过可靠的网站预订住宿。●不要低估海拔高度或气温差异对你跑步的影响)”可知，在马拉松比赛前，在专业人士的指导下进行训练是不必要的准备工作。 B Standing in the yard, 12-year-old Cindy Keele saw the worry on her mother’s face, when the world suddenly fell quiet, leaving the air hot and heavy over Lubbock, Texas. “Get in and put on your shoes,” her mother said calmly. “We have to go to the storm cellar (地窖).” The girl ran inside. As soon as the door closed behind her, a softball-sized stone damaged the kitchen window and three more broke through the back wall. And then came the unmistakable, deafening sound of an approaching tornado. “They say a tornado sounds like a train,” Keele recalls 51 years later. “But I disagree. Maybe more like a thousand trains. It’s a sound you never forget but can never describe.” But getting herself and her three kids to safety was no simple matter — the shelter was at the opposite end of the park. If they didn’t drive, they’d never make it. “My mother was a small woman, but suddenly she seemed to have superhuman strength,” Keele says, her voice still wavering so many years later. “She threw my four-year-old sister into the back seat. Then she went back to the house to get my nine-year-old brother. As she got to the car, he just started flying up into the air. My mother grabbed him by his legs, as if he were a kite, and pulled him back down.” At last, everyone was in the car and her next clear memory was about what happened inside the shelter. “There were 60 persons there,” Keele says. “The sound outside was deafening. For a moment, the metal door, which was held tight with two big slide locks at the top and bottom, seemed to be forced open by the wind. Eight men rushed to the door and tried their best to keep it from flying open.” After what seemed like a century, the wind finally stopped. When they came out, they found that everything was gone. “My mother started running straight for our street. A man stopped her — he’d just come from there and he knew what she would find,” adds Keele. “I’d never seen my mom cry. But she broke down that day.” 4. How old is Cindy Keele when she tells this story? A. 63. B. 51. C. 39. D. 12. 5. What does the underlined word “wavering” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Hurting. B. Weakening. C. Shaking. D. Deafening. 6. What does the seventh paragraph focus on? A. The bravery of the men. B. Damages caused by the storm. C. The trouble with the door. D. Things happening in the cellar. 7. What can we say about Keele’s mother? A. She cried a lot. B. She was a cool-headed woman. C. She was very tall. D. She seemed to be cold-hearted. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Cindy Keele回忆51年前和母亲遭遇龙卷风并逃生的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Standing in the yard, 12-year-old Cindy Keele saw the worry on her mother’s face, when the world suddenly fell quiet, leaving the air hot and heavy over Lubbock, Texas.(站在院子里，12岁的辛迪·基尔看到了母亲脸上的忧虑，这时世界突然变得安静，得克萨斯州拉伯克上空的空气又热又重)”以及第三段“Keele recalls 51 years later.(51年后，基尔回忆道)”可知，Cindy Keele在讲述这个故事时是51年之后，而她当时是12岁，所以现在应该是12+51=63岁。故选A。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段““My mother was a small woman, but suddenly she seemed to have superhuman strength,” Keele says, her voice still wavering so many years later.(基尔说：“我妈妈是个小个子女人，但突然间她似乎有了超人的力量。”多年后，她的声音仍然在wavering)”可知，Keele在多年后回忆起这件事时，声音仍然有些颤抖，说明她仍然感到激动或紧张。因此，wavering在此处的意思应该是“颤抖的”。故选C。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第七段“At last, everyone was in the car and her next clear memory was about what happened inside the shelter.(最后，每个人都在车里，她下一个清晰的记忆是避难所里发生的事情)”以及后文描述可知，本段主要讲述了在避难所里发生的事情，包括里面的人数、外面的声音以及人们如何努力保持门不被风吹开等。因此，本段的重点是描述避难所里发生的事情。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““Get in and put on your shoes,” her mother said calmly. “We have to go to the storm cellar (地窖).”(“上车，穿上鞋子，”她妈妈平静地说。“我们得去地窖。”)”以及后文描述母亲在龙卷风来袭时如何保护孩子和家人的行为可知，Keele的母亲在面对危险时保持冷静，迅速采取行动保护家人。因此，我们可以说她是一个头脑冷静的女人。故选B。 C As evening fell, five people moved nervously around a baby elephant. All the science, all the ideas leading up to this moment, checked out. But now, it was a question of practice: Would this baby elephant like the newly developed baby formula (配方)? Would her body react well to it? The five people, keepers at Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, northern Kenya’s only elephant orphanage (孤儿院), held one another’s hands. They hoped that she would be healthy. As baby Sera gulped down one bottle after another, they smiled with relief. And in the days that followed, the weak two-week-old put on weight and had the strength to play with the other baby elephants at the orphanage. The keepers celebrated the breakthrough. The formula was simple and the main ingredient (成分) of the new formula was easy to get: goat milk. The team had been thinking about how to improve their milk recipe for a long time, says Katie Rowe, co-founder of Reteti, in the community-owned Namunyak Conservancy. The orphanage had used human baby formula since its establishment in 2016, but costs were high, cans had to be bought from foreign countries, and ingredients weren’t always natural. “I was looking at the ingredients, believing there were better choices out there,” Rowe says. The new formula has also been a success for the Samburu community, which sells goat milk to the orphanage. Each morning, Stamen Lemajong’s family and others travel along tree-lined roads to sell more than 150 liters of milk to the orphanage. “We use the money from selling goat milk for everything the kids to school, paying hospital bills,” Lemajong says. “And in times of hardship last year, it has been a huge help. Then we could even buy food with it.” 8. What were the five people doing toward the evening? A. Examining a newborn baby. B. Treating an ill elephant. C. Having a science lesson. D. Testing a new formula. 9. What is one reason why the team chose goat milk? A. It is less expensive. B. It tastes more delicious. C. It has safer ingredients. D. It is more popular worldwide. 10. What can we infer from Paragraph 5 about the new formula? A. It brings local people huge benefits. B. It has to deal with a lot of challenges. C. It lets kids realize the value of hard work. D. It makes the Samburu community famous. 11. In which part of a newspaper can we probably find this text? A. Sports. B. Culture. C. Society. D. Education. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了肯尼亚北部一个大象保护区的看护人员如何通过开发新的配方奶粉来改善小象的健康，并对当地社区产生了积极影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Would this baby elephant like the newly developed baby formula（配方）? Would her body react well to it?（这头小象会喜欢新开发的配方奶粉吗？她的身体会对它有良好的反应吗？）”和第二段“As baby Sera gulped down one bottle after another, they smiled with relief.（当小塞拉一瓶接一瓶地大口喝着时，他们如释重负地笑了。）”可知，这五个人正在测试一种新的幼象配方奶粉。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The keepers celebrated the breakthrough. The formula was simple and the main ingredient（成分）of the new formula was easy to get: goat milk.（饲养员庆祝这一突破。配方简单，新配方的主要成分：羊奶，很容易获得。）”和第四段“The orphanage had used human baby formula since its establishment in 2016, but costs were high, cans had to be bought from foreign countries, and ingredients weren’t always natural.（这家保护区自2016年成立以来一直使用人类婴儿配方奶粉，但成本很高，罐装奶粉必须从国外购买，而且成分并不总是天然的。）”可知，使用羊奶的原因之一是成本更低。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Each morning, Stamen Lemajong’s family and others travel along tree-lined roads to sell more than 150 liters of milk to the orphanage.（每天早上，Stamen Lemajong的家人和其他人沿着绿树成荫的道路前往保护区，出售150多升羊奶。）”和最后一句“Then we could even buy food with it.（然后我们甚至可以用它买食物。）”可知，当地人向保护区出售羊奶，可以用挣到的钱买食物，所以新配方给当地居民带来了巨大的好处。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The orphanage had used human baby formula since its establishment in 2016, but costs were high, cans had to be bought from foreign countries, and ingredients weren’t always natural.（自2016年成立以来，保护区一直使用人类婴儿配方奶，但成本很高，必须从外国购买罐装奶粉，而且成分并不总是天然的。）”、第五段“The new formula has also been a success for the Samburu community, which sells goat milk to the orphanage.( 新配方对Samburu社区来说也是一个成功，他们向保护区出售羊奶。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了肯尼亚北部一个大象保护区的看护人员如何通过开发新的配方奶粉来改善小象的健康，并对当地社区产生积极影响。因此，本文应选自报纸的社会板块。故选C。 D The world of work is always changing, and the skills needed for the future are changing accordingly. A recent study by the World Economic Forum suggests that by 2026, analytical thinking, creativity, and flexibility will be among the most important skills for employees. This is largely due to the rise of automation (自动化) and artificial intelligence (AI), which are taking over routine, repetitive tasks. Rather than making humans outdated, this technological change is freeing us to focus on tasks that require uniquely human qualities like emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and innovation. AI systems are capable of processing entire books and articles to produce brief summaries or analyses. For instance, students may use AI tools to obtain quick overviews of novels instead of reading the complete works. While such practices are not entirely new — study guides have existed for decades — generative AI offers more choices. Current applications allow users to interact with books through AI-driven platforms. These tools can provide detailed comparisons, answer questions, and simulate (模拟) discussions about texts without requiring users to read the texts. This efficiency, however, may come at a cost. Relying on AI for reading tasks could reduce opportunities for critical engagement and personal interpretation. Data trends indicate a decline in reading engagement among young people. Recent surveys show that less than 40% of fourth-grade students in the United States read daily for pleasure. Similarly, youth reading rates in other developed countries have also experienced noticeable declines. At higher education levels, students are increasingly avoiding longer reading assignments, and some instructors have reduced reading requirements accordingly. Experts also pointed out that overreliance on technology may dilute independent thinking skills. Early studies suggest that users who frequently depend on AI for tasks like writing or analysis report lower confidence in their own cognitive (认知的) abilities. While AI provides valuable tools for efficient information processing, balanced use is necessary. Maintaining active reading habits remains important for keeping critical literacy skills and appreciating the depth of literary works. 12. What can be inferred about automation and AI? A. They’re not removing work but reshaping it. B. They’re replacing human workers gradually. C. They’re creating a greater demand for routine jobs. D. They’re more important than emotional intelligence. 13. How do current AI-driven platforms help users with books? A. They improve students’ reading skills greatly. B. They let users finish reading tasks without any effort. C. They provide brief summaries and intelligent comparisons. D. They help teachers give reading tasks in class more quickly. 14. What does the underlined word “dilute” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Strengthen. B. Weaken. C. Abandon. D. Guide. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI: A Two-Sided Tool in Work and Study B. Reading Habits and Young People’s Future C. Automation and Its Influence on Job Skills D. AI: A Useful Tool for Students’ Daily Study 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人工智能在工作与学习领域带来的双重影响，既展现出高效便捷的优势，也存在削弱人们独立思考与深度阅读能力的隐患。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Rather than making humans outdated, this technological change is freeing us to focus on tasks that require uniquely human qualities like emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and innovation. (这种技术变革并没有让人类过时，而是让我们能够专注于那些需要人类独有品质的任务，比如情商、批判性思维和创新能力。)” 可知，自动化与人工智能并未取代工作，而是重塑了工作形态。故选A。 【13题详解】  细节理解题。根据第二段中“AI systems are capable of processing entire books and articles to produce brief summaries or analyses. (人工智能系统能够处理整本书和文章，生成简短的摘要或分析。)”以及第三段中“These tools can provide detailed comparisons, answer questions, and simulate discussions about texts without requiring users to read the texts. (这些工具可以提供详细的对比、回答问题并模拟关于文本的讨论，而不需要用户阅读文本。)”可知，当前人工智能驱动平台能为用户提供简要摘要与智能对比。故选C。 【14题详解】  词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Early studies suggest that users who frequently depend on AI for tasks like writing or analysis report lower confidence in their own cognitive abilities. (早期研究表明，频繁依赖人工智能完成写作或分析等任务的用户，对自身认知能力的信心会降低。)”可知，过度依赖科技会削弱独立思考能力，dilute 意为“削弱”。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段中“The world of work is always changing, and the skills needed for the future are changing accordingly. (世界的工作方式总是在变化，未来所需的技能也随之改变。)”以及第二段中“AI systems are capable of processing entire books and articles to produce brief summaries or analyses. (AI系统能够处理整本书籍和文章以生成简短的摘要或分析。)”可知，文章主要探讨了AI技术在工作技能重塑和学生阅读学习两个方面的应用及其带来的双面影响。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Whatever the size or location, I love going to book festivals. ____16____ They give me the chance to connect with my favorite authors and readers who care about books as much as I do.

She is extremely dedicated to her teaching job, taking every class seriously and devoting all her energy to helping students make progress. Though she sometimes meets small troubles with a few shy or naughty students, she always tries her best to get along well with the whole class and wins their love and respect. In her class there is a boy named William, who is a little overweight and always keeps quiet in the corner. He is not active in his studies and seldom finishes his homework on time. He has never raised his hand to answer questions or talked to Lily actively after class, so Lily knows little about this silent boy, only regarding him as a lazy and unmotivated student. One evening, after two straight evening classes, Lily was about to rush to another class for her next task. She needed to hand out exercise books to students quickly, so she called several students who had nothing to do at hand for help. Some students stood up at once and walked to the platform happily. However, when Lily called William’s name in a gentle voice, he just sat still without any response, staring at his desk as if he had heard nothing. Thinking he might not catch her words clearly, Lily called his name again a little louder, but William still kept silent and never lifted his head. Gradually, Lily felt confused and a little annoyed. She raised her voice and called his name for the third time sharply, asking him to come to help hand out the exercise books. This time, every student in the class could hear her words clearly, but William remained motionless in his seat, completely ignoring her request. Lily’s face turned red immediately, filled with strong anger and deep embarrassment. The whole classroom fell into a strange and awkward silence. Just at that moment, a kind girl in the class stood up quickly and volunteered to hand out the books instead, easing the tense atmosphere a little. But Lily was still filled with anger, standing on the platform frozen for a while. She thought William was extremely selfish and rude for defying her order on purpose. With no time to deal with it then, she left the classroom with great anger, wondering angrily whether she should punish him severely or talk to him the next day. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: The next day, William came to Lily’s office hesitantly before the first class began. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Hearing William's sincere explanation, Lily’s anger faded away in no time. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 The next day, William came to Lily’s office hesitantly before the first class began. He lowered his head deeply, his hands twisting uneasily, and apologized to Lily in a soft, trembling voice. He explained that his father had been working abroad all year, and his mother had fallen seriously ill the previous night, so he had stayed up all night taking care of her alone. Exhausted and dizzy, he had suffered temporary hearing loss in one ear and truly didn’t hear her calls. Hearing William’s sincere explanation, Lily’s anger faded away in no time. She felt deeply guilty for misunderstanding the quiet boy and patted his shoulder gently with a warm smile. She comforted him and said there was no need to feel sorry, promising to help him make up for the missed lessons after class. Touched by Lily’s kindness, William raised his head with tears in his eyes. From then on, he became more active in class and gradually opened his heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了高中英语老师Lily与一位内向、不活跃的学生William之间发生的一次小冲突及其后续思考。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，威廉在第一节课开始前，怀着忐忑的心情来到Lily的办公室。”可知，第一段可以写William向Lily解释原因的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“听到威廉真诚的解释，Lily的怒气瞬间消散了。”可知，第二段可以写William在得到Lily理解后的积极转变。 2.续写线索：William道歉——William解释——Lily安慰William——Lily承诺帮助William——William的转变 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①道歉：apologize/ask forgiveness/say sorry ②解释：explain/account for ③安慰：comfort/console 情绪类 ①内疚的：guilty/compunctious ②感动：touch/move 【点睛】[高分句型1] He explained that his father had been working abroad all year, and his mother had fallen seriously ill the previous night, so he had stayed up all night taking care of her alone.

B Standing in the yard, 12-year-old Cindy Keele saw the worry on her mother’s face, when the world suddenly fell quiet, leaving the air hot and heavy over Lubbock, Texas. “Get in and put on your shoes,” her mother said calmly. “We have to go to the storm cellar (地窖).” The girl ran inside. As soon as the door closed behind her, a softball-sized stone damaged the kitchen window and three more broke through the back wall. And then came the unmistakable, deafening sound of an approaching tornado. “They say a tornado sounds like a train,” Keele recalls 51 years later. “But I disagree. Maybe more like a thousand trains. It’s a sound you never forget but can never describe.” But getting herself and her three kids to safety was no simple matter — the shelter was at the opposite end of the park. If they didn’t drive, they’d never make it. “My mother was a small woman, but suddenly she seemed to have superhuman strength,” Keele says, her voice still wavering so many years later. “She threw my four-year-old sister into the back seat. Then she went back to the house to get my nine-year-old brother. As she got to the car, he just started flying up into the air. My mother grabbed him by his legs, as if he were a kite, and pulled him back down.” At last, everyone was in the car and her next clear memory was about what happened inside the shelter. “There were 60 persons there,” Keele says. “The sound outside was deafening. For a moment, the metal door, which was held tight with two big slide locks at the top and bottom, seemed to be forced open by the wind. Eight men rushed to the door and tried their best to keep it from flying open.” After what seemed like a century, the wind finally stopped. When they came out, they found that everything was gone. “My mother started running straight for our street. A man stopped her — he’d just come from there and he knew what she would find,” adds Keele. “I’d never seen my mom cry. But she broke down that day.” 4. How old is Cindy Keele when she tells this story? A. 63. B. 51. C. 39. D. 12. 5. What does the underlined word “wavering” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Hurting. B. Weakening. C. Shaking. D. Deafening. 6. What does the seventh paragraph focus on? A. The bravery of the men. B. Damages caused by the storm. C. The trouble with the door. D. Things happening in the cellar. 7. What can we say about Keele’s mother? A. She cried a lot. B. She was a cool-headed woman. C. She was very tall. D. She seemed to be cold-hearted. C As evening fell, five people moved nervously around a baby elephant. All the science, all the ideas leading up to this moment, checked out. But now, it was a question of practice: Would this baby elephant like the newly developed baby formula (配方)? Would her body react well to it? The five people, keepers at Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, northern Kenya’s only elephant orphanage (孤儿院), held one another’s hands. They hoped that she would be healthy. As baby Sera gulped down one bottle after another, they smiled with relief. And in the days that followed, the weak two-week-old put on weight and had the strength to play with the other baby elephants at the orphanage. The keepers celebrated the breakthrough. The formula was simple and the main ingredient (成分) of the new formula was easy to get: goat milk. The team had been thinking about how to improve their milk recipe for a long time, says Katie Rowe, co-founder of Reteti, in the community-owned Namunyak Conservancy. The orphanage had used human baby formula since its establishment in 2016, but costs were high, cans had to be bought from foreign countries, and ingredients weren’t always natural. “I was looking at the ingredients, believing there were better choices out there,” Rowe says. The new formula has also been a success for the Samburu community, which sells goat milk to the orphanage. Each morning, Stamen Lemajong’s family and others travel along tree-lined roads to sell more than 150 liters of milk to the orphanage. “We use the money from selling goat milk for everything the kids to school, paying hospital bills,” Lemajong says. “And in times of hardship last year, it has been a huge help. Then we could even buy food with it.” 8. What were the five people doing toward the evening? A. Examining a newborn baby. B. Treating an ill elephant. C. Having a science lesson. D. Testing a new formula. 9. What is one reason why the team chose goat milk? A. It is less expensive. B. It tastes more delicious. C. It has safer ingredients. D. It is more popular worldwide. 10. What can we infer from Paragraph 5 about the new formula? A. It brings local people huge benefits. B. It has to deal with a lot of challenges. C. It lets kids realize the value of hard work. D. It makes the Samburu community famous. 11. In which part of a newspaper can we probably find this text? A. Sports. B. Culture. C. Society. D. Education. D The world of work is always changing, and the skills needed for the future are changing accordingly. A recent study by the World Economic Forum suggests that by 2026, analytical thinking, creativity, and flexibility will be among the most important skills for employees. This is largely due to the rise of automation (自动化) and artificial intelligence (AI), which are taking over routine, repetitive tasks. Rather than making humans outdated, this technological change is freeing us to focus on tasks that require uniquely human qualities like emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and innovation. AI systems are capable of processing entire books and articles to produce brief summaries or analyses. For instance, students may use AI tools to obtain quick overviews of novels instead of reading the complete works. While such practices are not entirely new — study guides have existed for decades — generative AI offers more choices. Current applications allow users to interact with books through AI-driven platforms. These tools can provide detailed comparisons, answer questions, and simulate (模拟) discussions about texts without requiring users to read the texts. This efficiency, however, may come at a cost. Relying on AI for reading tasks could reduce opportunities for critical engagement and personal interpretation. Data trends indicate a decline in reading engagement among young people. Recent surveys show that less than 40% of fourth-grade students in the United States read daily for pleasure. Similarly, youth reading rates in other developed countries have also experienced noticeable declines. At higher education levels, students are increasingly avoiding longer reading assignments, and some instructors have reduced reading requirements accordingly. Experts also pointed out that overreliance on technology may dilute independent thinking skills. Early studies suggest that users who frequently depend on AI for tasks like writing or analysis report lower confidence in their own cognitive (认知的) abilities. While AI provides valuable tools for efficient information processing, balanced use is necessary. Maintaining active reading habits remains important for keeping critical literacy skills and appreciating the depth of literary works. 12. What can be inferred about automation and AI? A. They’re not removing work but reshaping it. B. They’re replacing human workers gradually. C. They’re creating a greater demand for routine jobs. D. They’re more important than emotional intelligence. 13. How do current AI-driven platforms help users with books? A. They improve students’ reading skills greatly. B. They let users finish reading tasks without any effort. C. They provide brief summaries and intelligent comparisons. D. They help teachers give reading tasks in class more quickly. 14. What does the underlined word “dilute” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Strengthen. B. Weaken. C. Abandon. D. Guide. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI: A Two-Sided Tool in Work and Study B. Reading Habits and Young People’s Future C. Automation and Its Influence on Job Skills D. AI: A Useful Tool for Students’ Daily Study 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Whatever the size or location, I love going to book festivals. ____16____ They give me the chance to connect with my favorite authors and readers who care about books as much as I do.

She is extremely dedicated to her teaching job, taking every class seriously and devoting all her energy to helping students make progress. Though she sometimes meets small troubles with a few shy or naughty students, she always tries her best to get along well with the whole class and wins their love and respect. In her class there is a boy named William, who is a little overweight and always keeps quiet in the corner. He is not active in his studies and seldom finishes his homework on time. He has never raised his hand to answer questions or talked to Lily actively after class, so Lily knows little about this silent boy, only regarding him as a lazy and unmotivated student. One evening, after two straight evening classes, Lily was about to rush to another class for her next task. She needed to hand out exercise books to students quickly, so she called several students who had nothing to do at hand for help. Some students stood up at once and walked to the platform happily. However, when Lily called William’s name in a gentle voice, he just sat still without any response, staring at his desk as if he had heard nothing. Thinking he might not catch her words clearly, Lily called his name again a little louder, but William still kept silent and never lifted his head. Gradually, Lily felt confused and a little annoyed. She raised her voice and called his name for the third time sharply, asking him to come to help hand out the exercise books. This time, every student in the class could hear her words clearly, but William remained motionless in his seat, completely ignoring her request. Lily’s face turned red immediately, filled with strong anger and deep embarrassment. The whole classroom fell into a strange and awkward silence. Just at that moment, a kind girl in the class stood up quickly and volunteered to hand out the books instead, easing the tense atmosphere a little. But Lily was still filled with anger, standing on the platform frozen for a while. She thought William was extremely selfish and rude for defying her order on purpose. With no time to deal with it then, she left the classroom with great anger, wondering angrily whether she should punish him severely or talk to him the next day. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: The next day, William came to Lily’s office hesitantly before the first class began. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Hearing William's sincere explanation, Lily’s anger faded away in no time. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
