第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
A
Keeping plants at home is a healthy and comfortable way of life. The following houseplants can create a most beautiful piece of green for your home.
Bird’s Nest Fern (蕨)
The bird’s nest fern is a good choice for anyone with a house that wouldn’t support sun-loving species. It’s a hardy fern variety adapting to living on forest floors, where the air tends to be cool and damp. It likes to be misted as well, but this doesn’t always mean you need a misting bottle—spraying (喷洒) it in the sink or hanging it near a shower often works as well.
Chinese Money Plant
This is a flowering species that might be most appropriate for experienced plant gardeners looking for a new challenge. It prefers a moderate amount of indirect light, and tends to dry out slightly between watering sessions. It produces new plants easily without any input, directly from its root system. These can coexist in the same pot for a time.
Resurrection Plant
This native of the Mexican desert has adapted to surviving in extreme drought by curling (蜷缩) into a ball and remaining in seemingly lifeless state for years, if necessary. In this form, it can be transported by the wind across the dry landscape to areas with water. It will revive within hours in a shallow bowl of water, unfolding and transforming into a fresh and green moss (苔藓).
Snake Plant
This is a striking houseplant that can be an especially good option for new plant owners who you might not trust to keep a plant alive. It grows happily in almost any condition. While it prefers bright light, it doesn’t mind shade or even artificial light. Plus, thanks to its thick, fleshy leaves, it stores water with remarkable efficiency, which makes it survive without water in the earth.
1. What is special about the bird’s nest fern?
A. It prefers shade. B. It is sun-loving.
C. It tends to grow in the sink. D. It can return to life after death.
2. Which plant will test its owner’s gardening skill most?
A. Bird’s nest fern. B. Chinese money plant.
C. Resurrection plant. D. Snake plant.
3. What do resurrection plant and snake plant have in common?
A. They demand attentive owners. B. They are very drought-tolerant.
C. They will curl for self-protection. D. They can store water for drought.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是应用文。文章介绍了四种适合家养的植物。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Bird’s Nest Fern部分介绍中的第一句“The bird’s nest fern is a good choice for anyone with a house that wouldn’t support sun-loving species.”(对于那些家里不支持喜欢阳光的物种的人来说,Bird’s nest fern是一个很好的选择)可知,Bird’s nest fern 对那些房屋不适合种植喜阳植物的人来说是个不错的选择。由此可知,bird’s nest fern是喜阴植物。故选A项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Chinese Money Plant部分介绍中的第一句“This is a flowering species that might be most appropriate for experienced plant gardeners looking for a new challenge.”(这是一个开花的物种,可能是最适合有经验的植物园丁寻找一个新的挑战)可知,Chinese money plant可能最适合正在寻找新的挑战的有经验的园艺师。由此可知,这种植物最考验主人的园艺技能。故选B项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Resurrection Plant部分介绍中的第一句“This native of the Mexican desert has adapted to surviving in extreme drought by curling (蜷缩) into a ball and remaining in seemingly lifeless state for years, if necessary.”(这种原产于墨西哥沙漠的植物已经适应了在极端干旱中生存,它们蜷缩成一个球,如果必要的话,会在看似没有生命的状态下保持数年。)和Snake Plant部分介绍中的最后一句“Plus, thanks to its thick, fleshy leaves, it stores water with remarkable efficiency, which makes it survive without water in the earth.”(此外,由于它厚厚的肉质叶子,它储存水分的效率非常高,这使得它在没有水的情况下也能生存。)可知,这两种植物都耐旱。故选B项。
B
To see Garnett Puett’s latest sculpture at the Hammer Museum, you have to enter a dark room protected by a series of heavy curtains. Inside, glowing red light lights up a glass cage. Within the cage are three human figures with a large group of insects crawling over them. The bees move slowly over the faces of the figures. The colony of bees is so thick in places, it looks like fur (毛皮) growing on the statue — fur that moves.
“Woah.” “I’ve never seen.” Visitors say as they enter the silent room.
Puett has been making his “apisculptures”, using metal, beeswax (蜂蜡) and colonies of live bees, for four decades now. It’s art with a purpose: Puett wants to remind viewers of the power and creativity of bees, whose survival is under threat around the world. “It’s sort of subconscious advertising,” Puett said. “Bees are good.”
In the 1980s, when Puett’s bee sculptures first became an art world hit, people just thought he was a guy playing with bees. Actually, his use of bees came from a deep family tradition. He grew up as a fourth-generation beekeeper, whose family had worked with bees since the 1700s. His great-grandfather raised queen bees, passing the business down to his son and grandson. Puett worked on those farms as a teenager, starting with the simplest tasks. His bee farm experience has resulted in precision in the art he makes with bee colonies.
In the four decades since, the eco-artist withdrew somewhat from the art world. He moved to Hawaii, where he and his family have spent three decades running an organic honey farm. The work is challenging and labor intensive. That work has put him on the frontlines of dealing with threats to bee populations. Foreign species have killed numerous bees on his family’s farm, shrinking the number of surviving beehives (蜂巢) from 4,000 to about 2,000 in the past 15 years.
“People used to call me up really mad saying words I can’t repeat if the hives were bothering them,” relates Puett with a laugh. “But since we lost half the bee population within two years, people are more aware of their importance and are far more understanding and appreciative. That’s been the one bright side to all this difficulty.”
4. What do visitors think of Puett’s bee sculpture?
A. It is cruel. B. It is creative. C. It is educational. D. It is frightening.
5. Why did Puett make his “apisculptures”?
A. To advocate for bees through art. B. To commercialize his bee products.
C. To offer a shelter for threatened bees. D. To illustrate a new method of sculpture.
6. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. A background in bee art. B. The history of beekeeping.
C. Bee-themed activities for kids. D. Four generations under one roof.
7. What was the impact of the bee population loss?
A. Puett downsized his beekeeping. B. People became tolerant of Puett.
C. Puett shifted his focus to his sculptures. D. Public perception of bees has been improved.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了艺术家Garnett Puett通过雕塑来支持蜜蜂,呼吁人们保护蜜蜂。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““Woah.” “I’ve never seen.” Visitors say as they enter the silent room.(“哇。”“我从来没见过。”参观者走进寂静的房间时说道。)”可知,游客们认为Puett的蜜蜂雕塑很有创意。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It’s art with a purpose: Puett wants to remind viewers of the power and creativity of bees, whose survival is under threat around the world.(这是一种有目的的艺术:Puett想提醒观众蜜蜂的力量和创造力,它们的生存在世界各地受到威胁)”可知,Puett创作他的雕塑是为了通过艺术来支持蜜蜂。故选A。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“In the 1980s, when Puett’s bee sculptures first became an art world hit, people just thought he was a guy playing with bees. Actually, his use of bees came from a deep family tradition. He grew up as a fourth-generation beekeeper, whose family had worked with bees since the 1700s. His great-grandfather raised queen bees, passing the business down to his son and grandson. Puett worked on those farms as a teenager, starting with the simplest tasks. His bee farm experience has resulted in precision in the art he makes with bee colonies.(在20世纪80年代,当Puett的蜜蜂雕塑首次成为艺术界的热门作品时,人们只是认为他是一个玩弄蜜蜂的人。实际上,他对蜜蜂的使用源于一个很深的家庭传统。他是第四代养蜂人,他的家人从18世纪开始就和蜜蜂一起工作。他的曾祖父养了蜂王,把生意传给了他的儿子和孙子。Puett十几岁时就在这些农场工作,从最简单的工作开始。他的养蜂场经验导致了他的艺术精确与蜂群)”可知,第4段主要讲了蜜蜂艺术的背景。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“But since we lost half the bee population within two years, people are more aware of their importance and are far more understanding and appreciative.(但由于我们在两年内失去了一半的蜜蜂种群,人们更加意识到它们的重要性,并且更加理解和感激)”可知,蜜蜂数量减少的影响是公众对蜜蜂的认知有所改善。故选D。
C
Users of Google Gemini, the tech giant’s artificial-intelligence model, recently noticed that asking it to create images of Vikings, or German soldiers from 1943 produced surprising results: hardly any of the people depicted were white. Other image-generation tools have been criticized because they tend to show white men when asked for images of entrepreneurs or doctors. Google wanted Gemini to avoid this trap; instead, it fell into another one, depicting George Washington as black. Now attention has moved on to the chatbot’s text responses, which turned out to be just as surprising.
Gemini happily provided arguments in favor of positive action in higher education, but refused to provide arguments against. It declined to write a job ad for a fossil-fuel lobby group (游说团体), because fossil fuels are bad and lobby groups prioritize “the interests of corporations over public well-being”. Asked if Hamas is a terrorist organization, it replied that the conflict in Gaza is “complex”; asked if Elon Musk’s tweeting of memes had done more harm than Hitler, it said it was “difficult to say”. You do not have to be a critic to perceive its progressive bias.
Inadequate testing may be partly to blame. Google lags behind OpenAI, maker of the better-known ChatGPT. As it races to catch up, Google may have cut corners. Other chatbots have also had controversial launches. Releasing chatbots and letting users uncover odd behaviors, which can be swiftly addressed, lets firms move faster, provided they are prepared to weather (经受住) the potential risks and bad publicity, observes Eth an Mollick, a professor at Wharton Business School.
But Gemini has clearly been deliberately adjusted, or “fine-tuned”, to produce these responses. This raises questions about Google’s culture. Is the firm so financially secure, with vast profits from internet advertising, that it feels free to try its hand at social engineering? Do some employees think it has not just an opportunity, but a responsibility, to use its reach and power to promote a particular agenda? All eyes are now on Google’s boss, Sundar Pichai. He says Gemini is being fixed. But does Google need fixing too?
8. What do the words “this trap” underlined in the first paragraph refer to?
A. Having a racial bias. B. Responding to wrong texts.
C. Criticizing political figures. D. Going against historical facts.
9. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Gemini’s refusal to make progress. B. Gemini’s failure to give definite answers.
C. Gemini’s prejudice in text responses. D. Gemini’s avoidance of political conflicts.
10. What does Eth an Mollick think of Gemini’s early launch?
A. Creative. B. Promising. C. Illegal. D. Controversial.
11. What can we infer about Google from the last paragraph?
A. Its security is doubted. B. It lacks financial support.
C. It needs further improvement. D. Its employees are irresponsible.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。文章主要围绕谷歌的人工智能模型Gemini的表现进行了描述和分析,指出了该模型在生成图像和文本回复时出现的问题,以及这些问题可能反映出的谷歌公司文化和战略考量。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Users of Google Gemini, the tech giant’s artificial-intelligence model, recently noticed that asking it to create images of Vikings, or German soldiers from 1943 produced surprising results: hardly any of the people depicted were white. Other image-generation tools have been criticized because they tend to show white men when asked for images of entrepreneurs or doctors.(科技巨头谷歌的人工智能模型Google Gemini的用户最近注意到,让它创建维京人或1943年的德国士兵的图像产生了令人惊讶的结果:几乎没有一个被描绘的人是白人。其他图像生成工具也受到了批评,因为当被要求提供企业家或医生的图像时,它们往往会显示白人男性。)”可推测,“this trap”指的是前面提到的其他图像生成工具在生成图像时存在的种族偏见问题。而谷歌的 Gemini想要摆脱这种陷阱,却又掉入了另一个——把乔治.华盛顿描绘成黑人。故选A。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Gemini happily provided arguments in favor of positive action in higher education, but refused to provide arguments against. It declined to write a job ad for a fossil-fuel lobby group (游说团体), because fossil fuels are bad and lobby groups prioritize “the interests of corporations over public well-being”. Asked if Hamas is a terrorist organization, it replied that the conflict in Gaza is “complex”; asked if Elon Musk’s tweeting of memes had done more harm than Hitler, it said it was “difficult to say”. You do not have to be a critic to perceive its progressive bias.( Gemini乐于提供支持高等教育的积极行动的论据,但拒绝提供反对的论据。它拒绝为化石燃料游说团体写招聘广告,因为化石燃料不好,游说团体优先考虑“公司的利益而不是公众的福祉”。当被问及Hamas是否是恐怖组织时,它回答说,加沙的冲突是“复杂的”;当被问及Elon Musk在推特上发布的表情包是否比希特勒造成的伤害更大时,该公司表示“很难说”。即使你不是批评家,也能看出它的进步偏见。)”可知,第二段主要讲述的是Gemini在回复信息时有自己的偏见。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Google lags behind OpenAI, maker of the better-known ChatGPT. As it races to catch up, Google may have cut corners. Other chatbots have also had controversial launches. Releasing chatbots and letting users uncover odd behaviors, which can be swiftly addressed, lets firms move faster, provided they are prepared to weather (经受住) the potential risks and bad publicity, observes Eth an Mollick, a professor at Wharton Business School.(在奋力追赶的过程中,谷歌可能走了捷径。其他聊天机器人的发布也引发了争议。沃顿商学院教授Eth Mollick表示,发布聊天机器人,让用户发现可以迅速解决的奇怪行为,可以让企业更快地行动,前提是它们准备好经受住潜在风险和负面宣传。)”可知,Eth an Mollick观察到发布聊天机器人并让用户发现奇怪的行为,如果公司准备好承受潜在的风险和负面宣传,可以迅速解决这些问题,从而让公司更快地行动。这表明他认为Gemini的早期发布是有争议的,因为它可能带来一些未预料到的问题和负面反应。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But Gemini has clearly been deliberately adjusted, or “fine-tuned”, to produce these responses. This raises questions about Google’s culture. Is the firm so financially secure, with vast profits from internet advertising, that it feels free to try its hand at social engineering? Do some employees think it has not just an opportunity, but a responsibility, to use its reach and power to promote a particular agenda? All eyes are now on Google’s boss, Sundar Pichai. He says Gemini is being fixed. But does Google need fixing too?(但Gemini显然经过了刻意调整,或“微调”,以产生这些反应。这引发了对谷歌文化的质疑。这家公司从互联网广告中获得巨额利润,在财务上如此安全,以至于它可以自由地尝试社交工程吗?是否有些员工认为它不仅有机会,而且有责任利用其影响力和权力来推动特定的议程?现在所有的目光都集中在谷歌的老板Sundar Pichai身上。他说Gemini正在被修复。但谷歌也需要修复吗?)”可知,最后一段提出了对谷歌文化的质疑,并暗示该公司可能在微调其人工智能模型Gemini时采取了一些自由,导致了意想不到的反应。这意味着该模型存在需要解决和纠正的问题,表明谷歌在该领域仍有改进的空间。故选C。
D
Climate change and habitat loss are threatening water-loving birds, including endangered species like whooping cranes and migrating (迁徙的) shorebirds. Wetland-dependent species have declined by nearly a third, with water bird populations dropping by 20% since 2014. Farmers, facing water shortages and extreme weather, often view birds as harmful animals or crop competitors, further harming the relationship between agriculture and conservation.
Cooperative efforts are underway to combine farming practices with bird conservation. In Texas and Louisiana, traditional rice-and-crawfish farms copy natural wetlands, attracting birds such as egrets and herons. Farmers are proving that agriculture can support biodiversity. Conservationists encourage these practices by highlighting their ecological and economic benefits.
Nonprofit organization Ducks Unlimited pays farmers to flood fields in winter, providing habitats for ducks and geese. This not only aids birds but also decomposes rice plants, reducing farmers’ workload. In drought-stricken regions, Ducks Unlimited encourages leaving harvest waste or flooding unused grassland to support migrating birds.
In Uruguay, conservationist Joaquín Aldabe works with farm owners to adopt controlled grazing (放牧), ensuring grasses stay at an ideal length for insects — critical food for birds during migration. In the Klamath Basin, proposed eco-credit systems could reward farmers for maintaining wetlands that clean runoff and support fish populations, benefiting both birds and the locals that restore endangered fish.
These efforts show promise. Flooded farms in Texas host dozens of bird species, while Uruguay’s grazing adjustments boost insect populations for shorebirds. A 2024 campaign conserved 1 million acres for water birds. As climate change speeds up, conservationists and farmers must work together to create adaptive habitats. While some birds adapt behaviorally, genetic (基因的) adaptation is unlikely. The race to protect and restore farmland and wetland is critical — a quick effort against time to ensure these species survive.
12. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By sharing observations. B. By making an assumption.
C. By listing current threats. D. By revealing a relationship.
13. What does Ducks Unlimited ask farmers to do for migrating birds?
A. Plant grasses on land. B. Clear harvest remains.
C. Turn wetland into farmland. D. Create seasonal habitats.
14. Why does Joaquín Aldabe promote controlled grazing?
A. To preserve water birds’ habitats. B. To shelter birds from the enemies.
C. To sustain food sources for birds. D. To decrease the number of insects.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Farming with Birds: Practice Co-existence. B. Birds in Crisis: Track the Cause of It.
C. Agricultural Reform: Find Efficient Models. D. Climate Solutions: Farmers Lead the Change.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了气候变化和栖息地丧失对水鸟构成的威胁,以及农业与鸟类保护之间的紧张关系,同时介绍了多个地区正在进行的将农业实践与鸟类保护相结合的合作努力,强调了这些努力在保护鸟类和促进农业可持续发展方面的重要性。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Climate change and habitat loss are threatening water-loving birds, including endangered species like whooping cranes and migrating shorebirds. Wetland-dependent species have declined by nearly a third, with water bird populations dropping by 20% since 2014. Farmers, facing water shortages and extreme weather, often view birds as harmful animals or crop competitors, further harming the relationship between agriculture and conservation.(气候变化和栖息地丧失正威胁着喜爱水的鸟类,包括像美洲鹤和迁徙的岸鸟这样的濒危物种。依赖湿地的物种减少了近三分之一,自2014年以来,水鸟数量下降了20%。面对缺水和极端天气,农民往往将鸟类视为有害动物或农作物竞争者,这进一步损害了农业与保护之间的关系。)”可知,作者通过列出气候变化和栖息地丧失对水鸟构成的威胁,以及农业与鸟类保护之间的紧张关系来引入话题。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Nonprofit organization Ducks Unlimited pays farmers to flood fields in winter, providing habitats for ducks and geese. This not only aids birds but also decomposes rice plants, reducing farmers’ workload. In drought-stricken regions, Ducks Unlimited encourages leaving harvest waste or flooding unused grassland to support migrating birds.(非营利组织Ducks Unlimited付钱给农民,让他们在冬天淹没田地,为鸭子和鹅提供栖息地。这不仅有助于鸟类,还能分解水稻植株,减轻农民的工作量。在干旱地区,Ducks Unlimited倡导保留收割后的作物残株,或对闲置草地进行水淹处理,以助力候鸟栖息。)”可知,Ducks Unlimited要求农民为迁徙的鸟类创造季节性栖息地。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In Uruguay, conservationist Joaquín Aldabe works with farm owners to adopt controlled grazing, ensuring grasses stay at an ideal length for insects — critical food for birds during migration.(在乌拉圭,保护主义者Joaquín Aldabe与农场主合作,采用控制放牧的方式,确保草保持在适合昆虫的理想长度——这是鸟类迁徙时的关键食物。)”可知,Joaquín Aldabe提倡控制放牧是为了保护水鸟的栖息地,因为草保持在适合昆虫的理想长度,可以为鸟类提供食物,从而保护它们的栖息地。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了多个地区正在进行的将农业实践与鸟类保护相结合的合作努力,强调了这些努力在保护鸟类和促进农业可持续发展方面的重要性,结合第三段“Nonprofit organization Ducks Unlimited pays farmers to flood fields in winter, providing habitats for ducks and geese. This not only aids birds but also decomposes rice plants, reducing farmers’ workload. In drought-stricken regions, Ducks Unlimited encourages leaving harvest waste or flooding unused grassland to support migrating birds.(非营利组织Ducks Unlimited付钱给农民,让他们在冬天淹没田地,为鸭子和鹅提供栖息地。这不仅有助于鸟类,还能分解水稻植株,减轻农民的工作量。在干旱地区,Ducks Unlimited倡导保留收割后的作物残株,或对闲置草地进行水淹处理,以助力候鸟栖息。)”可知,文章合适的标题是“与鸟类一起耕种:实践共存”。故选A。
第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Many adults are proud to share their fascinations with what others would label as kids’ toys. Mini Brands mystery packs or other blind boxes have become a phenomenon as collectibles for some adults. ____16____ For others, Legos are on their wishlist encouraged by the brand’s growing number of grown-up sets.
____17____ Seeking and sparking child-like joy may be part of the appeal, said behavioral therapist Maddy Ellberger. “When something reminds us of a positive memory, we are likely to engage with it because the association recalls those memories.”
____18____ Clothing brands are also cashing in on nostalgia (怀旧情怀) — from Crocs creating a Lizzie McGuire clog to Lululemon’s Disney collection making a full comeback that includes adults. Barbie isn’t just for kids clothes now either, thanks to the recent film and “Barbie-core” fashion trend.
In addition to the trendy appeal, all these revivals can also touch on a feeling of connection during a time of increased division. But whether that desire for connection is satisfied depends on if you can translate the excitement into real, in-person connection. ____19____ But having or wearing the same thing is not the actual steps of forming shared identity,” Ellberger said. “And I feel like that’s some of what gets lost, and it isn’t impossible.”
Ellberger has a great idea for this. “You are into a certain trend, like toys. There’s a good chance you’ll find others who are into the same trend. ____20____ If it was part of everyone’s secret Santa or white elephant — that’s a really cute way of connecting over this,” she said.
A. The craze goes beyond toys.
B. So, what’s with the fascination?
C. It’s a great way to form community.
D. Then give these toys to them as holiday gifts.
E. Social media fuels the trend by creating shared experiences.
F. Even stuffed animals are making their way into adults’ homes.
G. Childhood favorites have instead become relevant to adults again.
【答案】16. F 17. B 18. A 19. C 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文探讨了成年人对童年玩具及相关怀旧产品着迷的现象,分析了原因,并提出了把这种兴趣转化为现实连接的建议。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Mini Brands mystery packs or other blind boxes have become a phenomenon as collectibles for some adults. (Mini Brands盲盒等已经成为一些成年人的现象级收藏品。)”以及后文“For others, Legos are on their wishlist encouraged by the brand’s growing number of grown-up sets. (对另一些人来说,由于乐高推出了越来越多适合成年人玩的积木套装,乐高也在他们的愿望清单上。)”可知,空处应承接上下文,说明成年人热衷的不只是盲盒和乐高,并且这类东西也是一些人的收藏品。F 选项“Even stuffed animals are making their way into adults’ homes. (就连毛绒玩具也开始进入成年人的家中。)”中making their way into adults’ homes意指成为了成年人的收藏品,符合语境。故选 F。
【17题详解】
根据后文“Seeking and sparking child-like joy may be part of the appeal, said behavioral therapist Maddy Ellberger. (行为治疗师Maddy Ellberger说,寻求和激发孩童般的快乐可能是吸引力的一部分。)”可知,空处应提出问题,引出对成年人为什么痴迷于盲盒毛绒玩具乐高等物品的探讨。B 选项“So, what’s with the fascination? (那么,这种着迷是怎么回事呢?)”以问句形式承接上文现象,引出下文的原因分析,符合语境。故选 B。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Clothing brands are also cashing in on nostalgia (怀旧情怀) — from Crocs creating a Lizzie McGuire clog to Lululemon’s Disney collection making a full comeback that includes adults. Barbie isn’t just for kids clothes now either... (服装品牌也在利用怀旧情结大赚一笔——从Crocs推出Lizzie McGuire的木屐,到Lululemon的迪士尼系列全面回归,其中包括成年人。由于最近的电影和“芭比核心”时尚潮流,芭比现在也不仅仅是童装了……)”可知,怀旧情结的卖点不仅在玩具领域好用,在服装业也是如此。此空后的also一词很关键。A 选项“The craze goes beyond toys. (这股热潮不仅限于玩具。)”符合语境。故选 A。
【19题详解】
根据前文“But whether that desire for connection is satisfied depends on if you can translate the excitement into real, in-person connection. (但这种对连接的渴望是否能得到满足,取决于你能否将这种兴奋转化为真实的、面对面的连接。)”以及后文“But having or wearing the same thing is not the actual steps of forming shared identity (但拥有或穿着同样的东西并不是形成共同身份的实际步骤)”可知,空处应提出一种形成连接的方式。C 选项“It’s a great way to form community. (这是形成社区的好方法。)”承接上文“连接”的话题,引出下文对形成共同身份步骤的讨论,符合语境。故选 C。
【20题详解】
根据前文“You are into a certain trend, like toys. There’s a good chance you’ll find others who are into the same trend. (你热衷于某种趋势,比如玩具。你很有可能会找到其他也热衷于同样趋势的人。)”以及后文“If it was part of everyone’s secret Santa or white elephant — that’s a really cute way of connecting over this. (若将其纳入‘秘密圣诞老人’或‘白象礼物’交换环节,便是借此建立连接的温馨方式)”可知,空处应提出具体的连接方式。D 选项“Then give these toys to them as holiday gifts. (然后把这些玩具作为节日礼物送给他们。)”承接上文“找到同样兴趣的人”,them指代前句里的others,与后文“秘密圣诞老人或白象礼物”呼应,提供了具体的连接方法,符合语境。故选 D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了源自福建泉州的国家级非遗泉州木偶戏,其魅力在于表演者用手指拉线操控木偶。泉州政府举办创新设计比赛,旨在推广当地文化,现正面向参赛者开放。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:泉州木偶戏是一项国家级非物质文化遗产,起源于秦朝时期的福建泉州,其精彩之处在于表演者通过拉线操控木偶的手指技巧。根据句意可知,此处表示“一项国家级非物质文化遗产”,此处表示泛指,且“national”是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词“a”。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:泉州木偶戏是一项国家级非物质文化遗产,起源于秦朝时期的福建泉州,其精彩之处在于表演者通过拉线操控木偶的手指技巧。设空处是that引导定语从句的谓语动词;根据时间状语“in the Qin Dynasty”可知,句子描述的是过去的事情,所以用一般过去时,“originate”的过去式是“originated”。故填originated。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:最近一个展示传统与现代和谐共处的这一历史艺术的例子在北京的中国传统文化博物馆,在那里一位技艺高超的木偶师控制着一个设计好的猴子木偶弹吉他,而另一场表演则是一只机器狗随着木偶有节奏地跳舞,这引起了观众的阵阵笑声,他们被这种古老艺术与科技的创造性结合所吸引。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词“the Chinese Traditional Culture Museum ”,先行词在从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词“where”引导定语从句。故填where。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:最近一个展示传统与现代和谐共处的这一历史艺术的例子在北京的中国传统文化博物馆,在那里一位技艺高超的木偶师控制着一个设计好的猴子木偶弹吉他,而另一场表演则是一只机器狗随着木偶有节奏地跳舞,这引起了观众的阵阵笑声,他们被这种古老艺术与科技的创造性结合所吸引。句中“featured”是谓语动词,设空处使用非谓语动词,其中“a robot dog”和“dance”之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词“dancing”作后置定语,修饰“a robot dog”。故填dancing。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:此次活动标志着由泉州政府发起的创新设计竞赛的开幕,旨在推广该市丰富的文化遗产和地方艺术。句中marked为谓语动词,设空处使用非谓语动词,“an innovative design competition”和“launch”之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词“launched”作后置定语。故填launched。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:此次活动标志着由泉州政府发起的创新设计竞赛的开幕,旨在推广该市丰富的文化遗产和地方艺术。“aim to do sth.”是固定短语,意为“旨在做某事”,所以此处用动词不定式“to promote”作“aiming”的宾语。故填to promote。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:作为海上丝绸之路的重要战略港口,泉州曾是贸易中心,也是来自中国以外的使者和商人的家园。“important”是形容词,前面要用副词修饰,“strategic”的副词形式是“strategically”,意为“战略上地”。故填strategically。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意:作为海上丝绸之路的重要战略港口,泉州曾是贸易中心,也是来自中国以外的使者和商人的家园。根据句意可知,“a center of trade”和“home to envoys (使者) and business people from outside China”之间是并列关系,所以用连词“and”连接。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:此次竞赛名为“包容的刺桐城,丝绸之路的想象与共同未来”,现已向参赛者开放,旨在激发由泉州独特历史和地方文化启发的创造力。“be open to sb.”是固定短语,意为“对某人开放”,所以此处用介词“to”。故填to。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:刺桐城是古代外国商人对泉州的称呼。“trader”意为“商人”,是可数名词,此处表示泛指,且没有冠词修饰,所以用复数形式“traders”。故填traders。

Good afternoon, dear teachers and classmates. When AI creates paintings or music, a question arises: are these works real art? My answer is definitely yes.
AI is never a replacement for artists, but a powerful assistant that amplifies creativity. Just as a photographer uses a camera to capture beauty, artists leverage AI to turn their inspirations into reality. These AI works not only look visually appealing but also touch our hearts. They bring new styles to the art world, proving that technology and art can go hand in hand. After all, art is about expression, and AI-generated works fully deliver that.
Let’s welcome this new form of art.

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。
At 33, Kaedi’s life took a sudden turn for the worse when she was told she had a serious blood disease. The doctor said the disease could be deadly if not treated in time, and the only hope was a stem cell transplant (干细胞移植). Kaedi was terrified, but she refused to give up, and her boyfriend Mikey stayed by her side through every tough moment. As days passed, her condition worsened, and she often lay awake at night, wondering if she would ever get to see another sunrise.
Kaedi started intensive chemotherapy (化疗) and waited anxiously for a matched donor. Doctors searched global registries for months, but no match was found. Finally, one day, good news came: A 26-year-old man from Poland named Karol was a perfect match. Karol, who had registered as a donor years ago, didn’t hesitate to agree when he was asked for help. He had once watched his beloved aunt suffer from the same disease and pass away because no donor was found, so when the call came, he thought of her, knowing this was his chance to spare someone else’s pain.
The transplant went smoothly, and Kaedi slowly recovered. She and Mikey decided to get married, and Kaedi had a special wish: to find Karol and invite him to their wedding. It took them months to contact him as donors and recipients typically remain anonymous (匿名) to each other for a period. Karol readily agreed to fly from Poland to Chicago. He wanted to witness the new life he had helped Kaedi gain.
Kaedi and Mikey kept Karol’s presence a secret, planning to surprise all the guests. On their wedding day, the reception was joyful. Suddenly, Mikey took the microphone with a smile. “Our guest of honor is here with us tonight,” he said. The guests looked around in confusion until Karol stood up. The whole room fell silent for a moment, and then broke into loud applause.
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。
Kaedi walked to Karol tearfully.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At Kaedi’s heartfelt words, Karol smiled humbly and spoke of his donation.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Kaedi walked to Karol tearfully. She introduced him as the man who saved her life, her voice shaking with thankfulness. She told everyone present that Karol had given her a second chance at life and that his kindness had become the most precious gift she’d ever received. “I wouldn’t be standing here today, about to marry the man I love, if it were not for you,” she said softly, her tears falling on their joined hands as the guests watched in silence, moved by what Karol had done.
At Kaedi’s heartfelt words, Karol smiled humbly and spoke of his donation. He explained that when he first registered as a donor, he had no idea whether he’d ever be called upon, but he’d always believed that a small act of kindness could change someone’s life forever. He said he had felt a little nervous before the donation, but the thought of someone’s waiting for a chance to live gave him strength. He added that watching her happiness was the greatest reward he could have asked for, and he wished more people to become donors, so that more lives could be saved.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Kaedi的生命历程为线索展开,讲述了33岁的Kaedi患上严重血液病,在男友Mikey的陪伴下接受化疗,最终得到波兰捐赠者Karol的干细胞移植而康复,随后Kaedi和Mikey举办婚礼,并邀请Karol到场,向他表达感恩的故事,凸显了善意与奉献的力量。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
① 由第一段首句内容“Kaedi泪流满面地走向Karol。”可知,第一段可描写Kaedi走向Karol时的状态、对Karol的感谢,以及向在场宾客介绍Karol的举动,传递出她对Karol救命之恩的珍视。
② 由第二段首句内容“Kaedi饱含深情的话语让Karo谦逊地笑了,并讲述了他捐赠的事由。”可知,第二段可描写Karol的谦逊回应,讲述自己捐赠的初衷、捐赠时的心情,以及看到Kaedi幸福生活后的感受,升华善意的主题。
2. 续写线索:
走向Karol——表达感谢——介绍事迹——Karol回应——讲述初衷——传递善意
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①颤抖:shake → tremble/quiver
②挽救:save → rescue
③站立:stand → be on one’s feet
情绪类
①感动:moved/touched/affected
②感激:thankfulness → gratitude/appreciation
【点睛】【高分句型1】She told everyone present that Karol had given her a second chance at life and that his kindness had become the most precious gift she’d ever received.(由that引导的两个并列宾语从句作told的宾语,且第二个宾语从句中包含省略that的定语从句she’d ever received修饰gift)
【高分句型2】He explained that when he first registered as a donor, he had no idea whether he’d ever be called upon, but he’d always believed that a small act of kindness could change someone’s life forever.(包含多个从句:that引导的宾语从句作explained的宾语,宾语从句中嵌套when引导的时间状语从句和whether引导的同位语从句,最后嵌套that引导的宾语从句作believed的宾语)

第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
A
Keeping plants at home is a healthy and comfortable way of life. The following houseplants can create a most beautiful piece of green for your home.
Bird’s Nest Fern (蕨)
The bird’s nest fern is a good choice for anyone with a house that wouldn’t support sun-loving species. It’s a hardy fern variety adapting to living on forest floors, where the air tends to be cool and damp. It likes to be misted as well, but this doesn’t always mean you need a misting bottle—spraying (喷洒) it in the sink or hanging it near a shower often works as well.
Chinese Money Plant
This is a flowering species that might be most appropriate for experienced plant gardeners looking for a new challenge. It prefers a moderate amount of indirect light, and tends to dry out slightly between watering sessions. It produces new plants easily without any input, directly from its root system. These can coexist in the same pot for a time.
Resurrection Plant
This native of the Mexican desert has adapted to surviving in extreme drought by curling (蜷缩) into a ball and remaining in seemingly lifeless state for years, if necessary. In this form, it can be transported by the wind across the dry landscape to areas with water. It will revive within hours in a shallow bowl of water, unfolding and transforming into a fresh and green moss (苔藓).
Snake Plant
This is a striking houseplant that can be an especially good option for new plant owners who you might not trust to keep a plant alive. It grows happily in almost any condition.

To see Garnett Puett’s latest sculpture at the Hammer Museum, you have to enter a dark room protected by a series of heavy curtains. Inside, glowing red light lights up a glass cage. Within the cage are three human figures with a large group of insects crawling over them. The bees move slowly over the faces of the figures. The colony of bees is so thick in places, it looks like fur (毛皮) growing on the statue — fur that moves.
“Woah.” “I’ve never seen.” Visitors say as they enter the silent room.
Puett has been making his “apisculptures”, using metal, beeswax (蜂蜡) and colonies of live bees, for four decades now. It’s art with a purpose: Puett wants to remind viewers of the power and creativity of bees, whose survival is under threat around the world. “It’s sort of subconscious advertising,” Puett said. “Bees are good.”
In the 1980s, when Puett’s bee sculptures first became an art world hit, people just thought he was a guy playing with bees. Actually, his use of bees came from a deep family tradition. He grew up as a fourth-generation beekeeper, whose family had worked with bees since the 1700s. His great-grandfather raised queen bees, passing the business down to his son and grandson. Puett worked on those farms as a teenager, starting with the simplest tasks. His bee farm experience has resulted in precision in the art he makes with bee colonies.
In the four decades since, the eco-artist withdrew somewhat from the art world. He moved to Hawaii, where he and his family have spent three decades running an organic honey farm. The work is challenging and labor intensive. That work has put him on the frontlines of dealing with threats to bee populations. Foreign species have killed numerous bees on his family’s farm, shrinking the number of surviving beehives (蜂巢) from 4,000 to about 2,000 in the past 15 years.
“People used to call me up really mad saying words I can’t repeat if the hives were bothering them,” relates Puett with a laugh. “But since we lost half the bee population within two years, people are more aware of their importance and are far more understanding and appreciative. That’s been the one bright side to all this difficulty.”
4. What do visitors think of Puett’s bee sculpture?
A. It is cruel. B. It is creative. C. It is educational. D. It is frightening.
5. Why did Puett make his “apisculptures”?
A. To advocate for bees through art. B. To commercialize his bee products.
C. To offer a shelter for threatened bees. D. To illustrate a new method of sculpture.
6. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. A background in bee art. B. The history of beekeeping.
C. Bee-themed activities for kids. D. Four generations under one roof.
7. What was the impact of the bee population loss?
A. Puett downsized his beekeeping. B. People became tolerant of Puett.
C. Puett shifted his focus to his sculptures. D. Public perception of bees has been improved.
C
Users of Google Gemini, the tech giant’s artificial-intelligence model, recently noticed that asking it to create images of Vikings, or German soldiers from 1943 produced surprising results: hardly any of the people depicted were white. Other image-generation tools have been criticized because they tend to show white men when asked for images of entrepreneurs or doctors. Google wanted Gemini to avoid this trap; instead, it fell into another one, depicting George Washington as black. Now attention has moved on to the chatbot’s text responses, which turned out to be just as surprising.
Gemini happily provided arguments in favor of positive action in higher education, but refused to provide arguments against. It declined to write a job ad for a fossil-fuel lobby group (游说团体), because fossil fuels are bad and lobby groups prioritize “the interests of corporations over public well-being”. Asked if Hamas is a terrorist organization, it replied that the conflict in Gaza is “complex”; asked if Elon Musk’s tweeting of memes had done more harm than Hitler, it said it was “difficult to say”. You do not have to be a critic to perceive its progressive bias.
Inadequate testing may be partly to blame. Google lags behind OpenAI, maker of the better-known ChatGPT. As it races to catch up, Google may have cut corners. Other chatbots have also had controversial launches. Releasing chatbots and letting users uncover odd behaviors, which can be swiftly addressed, lets firms move faster, provided they are prepared to weather (经受住) the potential risks and bad publicity, observes Eth an Mollick, a professor at Wharton Business School.
But Gemini has clearly been deliberately adjusted, or “fine-tuned”, to produce these responses. This raises questions about Google’s culture. Is the firm so financially secure, with vast profits from internet advertising, that it feels free to try its hand at social engineering? Do some employees think it has not just an opportunity, but a responsibility, to use its reach and power to promote a particular agenda? All eyes are now on Google’s boss, Sundar Pichai. He says Gemini is being fixed. But does Google need fixing too?
8. What do the words “this trap” underlined in the first paragraph refer to?
A. Having a racial bias. B. Responding to wrong texts.
C. Criticizing political figures. D. Going against historical facts.
9. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Gemini’s refusal to make progress. B. Gemini’s failure to give definite answers.
C. Gemini’s prejudice in text responses. D. Gemini’s avoidance of political conflicts.
10. What does Eth an Mollick think of Gemini’s early launch?
A. Creative. B. Promising. C. Illegal. D. Controversial.
11. What can we infer about Google from the last paragraph?
A. Its security is doubted. B. It lacks financial support.
C. It needs further improvement. D. Its employees are irresponsible.
D
Climate change and habitat loss are threatening water-loving birds, including endangered species like whooping cranes and migrating (迁徙的) shorebirds. Wetland-dependent species have declined by nearly a third, with water bird populations dropping by 20% since 2014. Farmers, facing water shortages and extreme weather, often view birds as harmful animals or crop competitors, further harming the relationship between agriculture and conservation.
Cooperative efforts are underway to combine farming practices with bird conservation. In Texas and Louisiana, traditional rice-and-crawfish farms copy natural wetlands, attracting birds such as egrets and herons. Farmers are proving that agriculture can support biodiversity. Conservationists encourage these practices by highlighting their ecological and economic benefits.
Nonprofit organization Ducks Unlimited pays farmers to flood fields in winter, providing habitats for ducks and geese. This not only aids birds but also decomposes rice plants, reducing farmers’ workload. In drought-stricken regions, Ducks Unlimited encourages leaving harvest waste or flooding unused grassland to support migrating birds.
In Uruguay, conservationist Joaquín Aldabe works with farm owners to adopt controlled grazing (放牧), ensuring grasses stay at an ideal length for insects — critical food for birds during migration. In the Klamath Basin, proposed eco-credit systems could reward farmers for maintaining wetlands that clean runoff and support fish populations, benefiting both birds and the locals that restore endangered fish.
These efforts show promise. Flooded farms in Texas host dozens of bird species, while Uruguay’s grazing adjustments boost insect populations for shorebirds. A 2024 campaign conserved 1 million acres for water birds. As climate change speeds up, conservationists and farmers must work together to create adaptive habitats. While some birds adapt behaviorally, genetic (基因的) adaptation is unlikely. The race to protect and restore farmland and wetland is critical — a quick effort against time to ensure these species survive.
12. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By sharing observations. B. By making an assumption.
C. By listing current threats. D. By revealing a relationship.
13. What does Ducks Unlimited ask farmers to do for migrating birds?
A. Plant grasses on land. B. Clear harvest remains.
C. Turn wetland into farmland. D. Create seasonal habitats.
14. Why does Joaquín Aldabe promote controlled grazing?
A. To preserve water birds’ habitats. B. To shelter birds from the enemies.
C. To sustain food sources for birds. D. To decrease the number of insects.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Farming with Birds: Practice Co-existence. B. Birds in Crisis: Track the Cause of It.
C. Agricultural Reform: Find Efficient Models. D. Climate Solutions: Farmers Lead the Change.
第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Many adults are proud to share their fascinations with what others would label as kids’ toys. Mini Brands mystery packs or other blind boxes have become a phenomenon as collectibles for some adults. ____16____ For others, Legos are on their wishlist encouraged by the brand’s growing number of grown-up sets.
____17____ Seeking and sparking child-like joy may be part of the appeal, said behavioral therapist Maddy Ellberger. “When something reminds us of a positive memory, we are likely to engage with it because the association recalls those memories.”
____18____ Clothing brands are also cashing in on nostalgia (怀旧情怀) — from Crocs creating a Lizzie McGuire clog to Lululemon’s Disney collection making a full comeback that includes adults. Barbie isn’t just for kids clothes now either, thanks to the recent film and “Barbie-core” fashion trend.
In addition to the trendy appeal, all these revivals can also touch on a feeling of connection during a time of increased division. But whether that desire for connection is satisfied depends on if you can translate the excitement into real, in-person connection. ____19____ But having or wearing the same thing is not the actual steps of forming shared identity,” Ellberger said. “And I feel like that’s some of what gets lost, and it isn’t impossible.”
Ellberger has a great idea for this. “You are into a certain trend, like toys. There’s a good chance you’ll find others who are into the same trend. ____20____ If it was part of everyone’s secret Santa or white elephant — that’s a really cute way of connecting over this,” she said.
A. The craze goes beyond toys.
B. So, what’s with the fascination?
C. It’s a great way to form community.
D. Then give these toys to them as holiday gifts.
E. Social media fuels the trend by creating shared experiences.
F. Even stuffed animals are making their way into adults’ homes.
G. Childhood favorites have instead become relevant to adults again.

At 33, Kaedi’s life took a sudden turn for the worse when she was told she had a serious blood disease. The doctor said the disease could be deadly if not treated in time, and the only hope was a stem cell transplant (干细胞移植). Kaedi was terrified, but she refused to give up, and her boyfriend Mikey stayed by her side through every tough moment. As days passed, her condition worsened, and she often lay awake at night, wondering if she would ever get to see another sunrise.
Kaedi started intensive chemotherapy (化疗) and waited anxiously for a matched donor. Doctors searched global registries for months, but no match was found. Finally, one day, good news came: A 26-year-old man from Poland named Karol was a perfect match. Karol, who had registered as a donor years ago, didn’t hesitate to agree when he was asked for help. He had once watched his beloved aunt suffer from the same disease and pass away because no donor was found, so when the call came, he thought of her, knowing this was his chance to spare someone else’s pain.
The transplant went smoothly, and Kaedi slowly recovered. She and Mikey decided to get married, and Kaedi had a special wish: to find Karol and invite him to their wedding. It took them months to contact him as donors and recipients typically remain anonymous (匿名) to each other for a period. Karol readily agreed to fly from Poland to Chicago. He wanted to witness the new life he had helped Kaedi gain.
Kaedi and Mikey kept Karol’s presence a secret, planning to surprise all the guests. On their wedding day, the reception was joyful. Suddenly, Mikey took the microphone with a smile. “Our guest of honor is here with us tonight,” he said. The guests looked around in confusion until Karol stood up. The whole room fell silent for a moment, and then broke into loud applause.
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。
Kaedi walked to Karol tearfully.

At Kaedi’s heartfelt words, Karol smiled humbly and spoke of his donation.
