M: I don’t think it will snow where we’re going. But to be honest, the worst sort of weather is downpour. So you need a good waterproof coat. W: Of course. M: But you don’t need a thick coat.

M: Yeah, a light one is better. And another thing to consider is the kind of T-shirt you wear. Not cotton ones because if cotton gets wet, it takes a long time to dry. Lightweight sports T-shirts are better. They dry fast — plus, they’re a lot lighter to carry in your backpack. W: OK. 听下面一段独白，回答18-20小题。 18. What is the purpose of the event? A. To present awards. B.

I am even more privileged to be presenting our final award of the night. But before that, I am proud to say this year we raised $30,000. That’s $5,000 more than last year! Now I want to talk about Rob Cook. This man is a true hero. He has already received the White Flower Award, which symbolizes charity. Back then he helped pay for the construction of a school. Then we gave him the Gold Star for bravery, when he saved a child from a terrible fire. Today we honor him again with the Pink Rose. Although Rob is retiring this year and we are all sad to see him go, there is one advantage of his leaving. There will be more awards left for the rest of us? And now, please welcome... Rob Cook! 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) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A Rather than travel to major hubs like Miami or Boston, you can funnel your time and energy into heading a bit further off the beaten path without busting the bank. Fort Myers, Florida Fort Myers is an idyllic location perfect for beachy escapes. Fort Myers’ coasts are lined with white-sand beaches, unexplored inlets, and vast wildlife preserves. Because of its gorgeous coastal views, Fort Myers has all the tourist infrastructure you’ll need — including budget options for dining, lodging, and touring that feel effortlessly classy. Greenville, South Carolina Greenville is a fantastic alternative to anyone a little burnt out by Asheville’s growing crowds and rising prices. In Greenville, you’ll get to experience the beauty of the Appalachians along with the same independent and spirited arts community. In fact, you have Greenville’s modest pricing to thank for its flourishing art scene — and even a growing culinary scene. Again, you also get the best of Mother Nature. Cape May, New Jersey Cape May offers an atmosphere that calls back to the glory days of beachside summertime. The historic downtown Cape May area is home to gorgeous little bed and breakfasts, along with boutique shops and mom-and-pop eateries. Think of it like a more refined and affordable version of Atlantic City. Bozeman, Montana Most visitors are focused on winter sports and cool summers — but prices are steep in places like Jackson Hole. That’s not quite the case in Bozeman. Thanks to its status as a college town, there’s always a deal to be found. At the same time, you have access to all those upscale outdoor activities, from fishing to skiing to soaking in hot springs. 21. Where can you experience a strong artistic atmosphere? A. Fort Myers, Florida. B. Greenville, South Carolina. C. Cape May, New Jersey. D. Bozeman, Montana. 22. What do Fort Myers and Cape May have in common? A. Profound historical roots. B. Sizable wildlife shelters. C. Breathtaking seashore views. D. Luxurious outdoor activities. 23. Who are the target readers of this article? A. Foodies who enjoy special delicacies. B. Trendoids who seek hotspots. C. Shopaholics who are addicted to shopping. D. Travelers who have tight budgets. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D 【导语】本文主要介绍了佛罗里达州迈尔斯堡、南卡罗来纳州格林维尔、新泽西州开普梅和蒙大拿州博兹曼这几处小众且性价比高的旅游地。 21. 细节理解题。根据第三段“In Greenville, you’ll get to experience the beauty of the Appalachians along with the same independent and spirited arts community. In fact, you have Greenville’s modest pricing to thank for its flourishing art scene — and even a growing culinary scene. (在格林维尔，你将体验到阿巴拉契亚山脉的美景，以及同样独立且充满活力的艺术社区。事实上，格林维尔蓬勃发展的艺术场景——甚至不断发展的美食场景，都要归功于其适中的物价)”可知，在格林维尔可以体验到浓厚的艺术氛围。 22. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Fort Myers is an idyllic location perfect for beachy escapes. Fort Myers’ coasts are lined with white-sand beaches, unexplored inlets, and vast wildlife preserves.(迈尔斯堡是一个田园诗般的地方，非常适合海滨度假。迈尔斯堡的海岸线上排列着白色沙滩、未经开发的海湾和广阔的野生动物保护区)”以及第四段“Cape May offers an atmosphere that calls back to the glory days of beachside summertime.(开普梅营造出一种让人回想起海滨夏日美好时光的氛围)”可知，迈尔斯堡和开普梅的共同之处在于都有令人惊叹的海滨景色。 23. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Rather than travel to major hubs like Miami or Boston, you can funnel your time and energy into heading a bit further off the beaten path without busting the bank.(与其前往迈阿密或波士顿等主要中心城市旅游，你可以把时间和精力投入到去一些小众且性价比高的地方)”以及文中对各个旅游地提到的性价比高的相关描述，可知本文的目标读者是预算紧张的旅行者。 B For his 80th birthday, my grandfather, a man who had fixed everything with his large hands, received a tablet from my cousin. We gathered around, expecting him to be pleased. Instead, he held the device as if it were a foreign object, his thumb hovering awkwardly over the screen. He gave a polite smile that didn’t reach his eyes, and then set it aside. Later that day, I found him in his workshop — his true kingdom, filled with the smell of wood and oil. The tablet was lying untouched on a shelf, gathering dust next to jars of nails. “It’s too... clean,” he explained to me. “There’s no weight to it, no resistance. How can you truly fix something you can’t feel?” Then, one Saturday morning, he announced he was clearing out the garage. But what emerged from the garage was not bags of trash, but a parade of neighborhood kids, each carrying a bicycle with a problem: a loose chain, a wobbling wheel, a stubborn brake. Grandpa had placed a small sign at the end of the driveway: “Doc’s Bike Shop — Payment by Story.” And so the driveway became his new workshop. He traded his expertise not for money, but for tales of school adventures and summer dreams. His rough, worn hands, once hesitant around a tablet, were sure and steady as they spun a wheel or tightened a bolt. The laughter of children and the ringing of bicycle bells replaced the previous silence of the community. He didn’t need to enter their digital world; he created a real one in his own driveway. He wasn’t rejecting the new; he was simply reminding us that some connections can’t be downloaded. They have to be built, piece by piece, with the touch of a hand. 24. What can be inferred about the grandfather’s response to the tablet? A. He hated to learn new technology. B. He accepted it politely, though uninterested. C. He considered it a waste of money and time. D. He disliked the products made in foreign countries. 25. Why does the author mention the tablet gathering dust? A. To imply the tablet was out of date. B. To showcase grandfather’s attitude to the gift. C. To highlight grandpa’s passion for his hobby. D. To introduce the workshop’s messy condition. 26. What does the underlined word “wobbling” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Running steadily. B. Shining like a star. C. Singing softly. D. Moving from side to side. 27. What did the grandfather achieve by starting the service in the driveway? A. He proved his capability and productivity. B. He demonstrated the complexity of craftsmanship. C. He successfully earned himself money and fame. D. He found a way to connect with younger generation. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. D 27. D 【导语】主要讲述在祖父80岁生日时收到平板电脑，他虽礼貌接受但并不感兴趣，之后祖父在自家车道开了自行车修理铺，以故事作为报酬，通过这种方式与孩子们建立起真实的联系。 24. 推理判断题。根据第一段“He gave a polite smile that didn't reach his eyes, and then set it aside.(他礼貌地笑了笑，但眼神中并无笑意，然后把平板电脑放在了一边)”以及第二段““It's too... clean,” he explained to me. “There's no weight to it, no resistance. How can you truly fix something you can't feel?”(“它太……干净了，” 他向我解释道。“它没有重量，没有阻力。你怎么能真正修理你感觉不到的东西呢？”)”可知，祖父虽然礼貌地接受了平板电脑，但并不感兴趣。 25. 推理判断题。根据第二段“Later that day, I found him in his workshop — his true kingdom, filled with the smell of wood and oil. The tablet was lying untouched on a shelf, gathering dust next to jars of nails. “It's too... clean,” he explained to me. “There's no weight to it, no resistance. How can you truly fix something you can't feel?”(那天晚些时候，我在他的工坊里找到了他 —— 这里是他真正的一方天地，四处弥漫着木材与油脂的气息。那个平板电脑静静搁置在架子上、无人触碰，挨着几罐钉子，落满了灰尘。 “它太…… 干净了。” 他向我解释道，“没有质感，没有阻力。倘若无法切身感受，又怎能真正修好一样东西？”)”可知这是为了展示祖父对这份礼物的态度——不感兴趣。 26. 词句猜测题。根据前文“each carrying a bicycle with a problem(每个孩子都带着一辆有问题的自行车)”以及后文“a loose chain, a stubborn brake(松动的链条，难操作的刹车)”可知，“wobbling”描述的是轮子有问题，“wobbling wheel”指的是晃动的轮子，所以“wobbling”意思是“左右移动”。 27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He didn't need to enter their digital world; he created a real one in his own driveway. He wasn't rejecting the new; he was simply reminding us that some connections can't be downloaded. They have to be built, piece by piece, with the touch of a hand.(他不需要进入他们的数字世界；他在自己的车道上创造了一个真实的世界。他并不是在拒绝新事物；他只是在提醒我们，有些联系是无法下载的。它们必须通过亲手一点点建立起来)”可知，祖父通过在车道上提供修理服务，找到了与年轻一代建立联系的方式。 C Getting into arguments with strangers online or family members at the dinner table can feel a bit like debating with a brick wall. This may be a tough task. To study the problem, the team from Ohio State, Stanford University, and Johns Hopkins University surveyed 1,261 Americans online. All of the participants read an article about a fictional school that did not have adequate water. Group one read an article that only gave reasons why the school should merge(合并) with another that has better water. Group two read an article that only gave reasons for the schools staying separate and hoping for other solutions to the problem. Group three was the control group that read all of the arguments for the schools merging and staying separate. They found that the majority of the two groups who only read the pro-merging or anti-merging arguments still believed that they had enough information to make a good decision about what to do. Most said that they would follow the recommendations in the article they read. About 55 percent of the control group recommended the school merge. The participants who had half of the information also said that they thought most other people would make the same decision they did. The team calls this belief that we are correct — even when we don’t have all of the information — the illusion of information adequacy. Fletcher, the leading author describes the illusion of information adequacy as, “The less that our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs to know. This makes us prone to think that we have all the crucial facts about a decision, leaping to confident conclusions and decisive judgments, when we are missing necessary information.” The team found that some of those participants were willing to change their minds about their decision — once they had all the facts. The mix of opinions after hearing both sides was comparable to the control group — about 55 percent to 45 percent. According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to fight the illusion of information adequacy when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something that I’m missing that would help me see their perspective and understand their position better?” 28. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By introducing a similar theory. B. By mentioning a previous study. C. By describing daily experiences. D. By explaining a term professionally. 29. What can be inferred from the study? A. Mistakes mainly rise from inadequate information. B. The participants were confident of their decision. C. Personal subjective understanding tends to be ignored in groups. D. The participants drew different conclusions even if with enough information. 30. What does the text suggest to avoid misunderstanding or conflicts? A. Changing the topics of the conversation. B. Getting more related information. C. Pretending to know all the information. D. Ignoring the arguments of the other person. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. What plays a big role in decisive judgments B. Where the confidence in judgments comes from C. Why people insist they’re correct without all the facts D. How people fight the illusion of information adequacy 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. B 31. C 【导语】主要介绍一项相关研究，阐释信息充足错觉的含义、实验结论以及规避该认知误区的可行办法。 28. 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Getting into arguments with strangers online or family members at the dinner table can feel a bit like debating with a brick wall. This may be a tough task.(在网上和陌生人争执，或是在餐桌上与家人拌嘴，感觉多少如同对着一堵砖墙争辩。这着实是件难事。)”可知，作者借助日常争辩的生活经历引出文章探讨的话题。 29. 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“They found that the majority of the two groups who only read the pro-merging or anti-merging arguments still believed that they had enough information to make a good decision about what to do.(研究人员发现，两组实验对象中，绝大多数人只阅读了支持合并或反对合并其中一方的观点，却依旧自认掌握了充足信息，足以做出妥善的决策。)”可知，受试者即便信息不全，也对自身的决定充满信心。 30. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to fight the illusion of information adequacy when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something that I'm missing that would help me see their perspective and understand their position better?”(弗莱彻认为，当与他人产生分歧时，破除 “自己掌握的信息已经足够充分” 这种错误认知的绝佳办法之一，就是停下来反问自己：“有没有什么被我忽略的信息，能帮我换位思考、更透彻地理解对方的立场？”)”可知，想要避免矛盾就要获取更多相关信息。 31. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段中的“The less that our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs to know. This makes us prone to think that we have all the crucial facts about a decision, leaping to confident conclusions and decisive judgments, when we are missing necessary information.(大脑掌握的知识越少，就越笃定自己已然通晓所需的全部内容。这就容易让我们误以为手握做决定的所有关键信息，在信息残缺不全时，仍贸然得出笃定的结论与决断。)”可知，文章围绕人们在信息不全时仍坚持自身正确的心理现象展开研究分析，所以“Why people insist they’re correct without all the facts(为何人们在并未掌握全部事实的情况下，仍笃定自己是正确的)”能够精准概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 D In the blink of an eye, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly entered every walk of life, from self-driving taxis to software that reads X-rays, to virtual assistants that can schedule meetings and draft e-mails. However, will AI displace entire industries as mechanized factories did before? Like past world-changing tools such as mechanical cloth-making machines, AI is set to reshape the workplace greatly. But techno-pessimists argue AI’s impact has never been seen before. Economists estimate AI could rob 40% of jobs, with machines replacing much skilled human work and note that even remaining jobs may see declining wages due to reduced labor value. Amid these worries, 2024 Nobel Prize-winning economists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson advise learning from David Ricardo’s flexible thinking about the early Industrial Revolution. In his work Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, economist Ricardo initially supported new spinning machines (纺纱机), believing they would promote productivity for all. Though home spinners were displaced, many shifted to weaving (织布). However, technology changed everything: one machine outperformed 10-20 handweavers, ending cottage industry. Displaced weavers had no choices as factories created few new jobs, leading to falling wages and social unrest. Witnessing these consequences, Ricardo transformed his view. His 1821 revised work acknowledged that factors boosting national income might also make population extra resources and worsen laborers’ conditions. England eventually learned from the struggles of handweavers and the working class. The government expanded political representation for industrial cities, passed the 1833 Factory Act to manage child labor, and ended the protectionist Corn Laws in the 1840s to lower food costs. The history repeats today. As the AI era approaches, Johnson notes that AI has attracted enormous talents, similar to the late-1990s Internet boom, but history — especially the Industrial Revolution — shows that “new miracle machines do not guarantee benefits for most people.” With thoughtful policies, AI can avoid repeating past mistakes and build an inclusive future. When technology is guided by wisdom and responsibility, it can become a powerful tool that lifts people up, reduces inequality, and brings greater opportunities to all. 32. Which question can paragraph 2 answer? A. How is AI to affect the work settings? B. Why has technology replaced human work? C. Who suffered most from the Industrial Revolution? D. What did cloth-making machines bring to workers? 33. Why did David Ricardo change his attitude? A. The closure of cottage industry. B. The appearance of spinning and weaving. C. The indifference of the government. D. The suffering of workers and the society. 34. What lesson can be learned from the text? A. Every step forward is progress. B. Technology makes the complex simple. C. History is where you find the future. D. With great power comes great responsibility. 35. What might be talked about following the last paragraph? A. Details of David Ricardo’s theories. B. Policy examples for guiding AI. C. The introduction of the Internet boom. D. The development of AI technology. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章结合工业革命历史及Ricardo的观点，探讨AI对职场的影响，指出需借助合理政策引导AI，避免重蹈历史覆辙。 32. 推理判断题。根据第二段“Like past world-changing tools such as mechanical cloth-making machines, AI is set to reshape the workplace greatly.(就像过去的机械织布机等改变世界的工具一样，人工智能将极大地重塑工作场所。)”可知，第二段回答了第一段关于人工智能将如何影响工作环境这一问题。故选A项。 33. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Displaced weavers had no choices as factories created few new jobs, leading to falling wages and social unrest. Witnessing these consequences, Ricardo transformed his view.(由于工厂几乎没有创造新的就业岗位，失业的织工别无选择，导致工资下降和社会动荡。目睹了这些后果，Ricardo改变了他的观点。)”可知，工人与社会遭受的苦难让Ricardo改变了态度。故选D项。 34. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The history repeats today. As the AI era approaches, Johnson notes that AI has attracted enormous talents, similar to the late-1990s Internet boom, but history — especially the Industrial Revolution — shows that “new miracle machines do not guarantee benefits for most people.”(历史在今日重演。随着人工智能时代的到来，约翰逊指出，人工智能吸引了大批人才，这与上世纪90年代末的互联网热潮颇为相似，但历史 —— 尤其是工业革命的历史 —— 表明，“新的神奇机器并不能保证为大多数人带来福祉。”)”可知，我们能从历史中找到应对未来的启示。故选C项。 35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With thoughtful policies, AI can avoid repeating past mistakes and build an inclusive future.(通过深思熟虑的政策，人工智能可以避免重蹈覆辙，构建一个包容的未来。)”可知，下文最可能谈论引导人工智能发展的具体政策案例。故选B项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Volunteer with the Telephone Friendship Service Just 30 minutes of your time a week could make a big difference to an older person’s life.

My adventure ____56____(begin) in the winter of 2014 at Peking University for my one-year Chinese language learning program. I had never imagined it would turn into a period when I would complete a master’s degree, begin my ____57____(profession) life, get married and have two kids. In the busy city of Beijing, each day brought something new. I quickly became ____58____(attract) to the hard-working nature of the local students and I soon befriended my classmates from different countries. Things were always happening, new shops were opening and people were ____59____ the go everywhere. High-speed railways and tall buildings sat alongside traditional ones. In short, the place was exciting. Beyond the ____60____(excite) of it all, I was bathed in another culture completely different from my own. When first dating my now-husband, we arranged ____61____(play) soccer. I arrived and asked, “Where’s the ball?” He explained we would just join ____62____(stranger) already playing. This was foreign to me, as we wouldn’t do that in Australia. Yet, despite being an introvert(内向的), ____63____ idea was appealing to me and many of my most cherished China memories are related to the collective and community atmosphere there. Other fond memories involve Chinese traditions, like having a yuesao for my post-birth “sitting the month”. This care for mom and baby, with rest and specific foods, contrasts with the experience in the West, ____64____ new moms often feel pressure to bounce back quickly and handle most things themselves. From my husband’s family to strangers on the streets, Chinese people are very friendly, ____65____(inspire) me with their spirit and pride in what they do every day. 【答案】 56. began 57. professional 58. attracted 59. on 60. excitement 61. to play 62. strangers 63. the 64. where 65. inspiring 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者在中国留学、工作、结婚生子的经历及感受。 56. 考查动词时态。句意：我的冒险之旅始于2014年冬天，在北京大学参加为期一年的汉语学习项目。空处为句子的谓语动词。根据时间状语“in the winter of 2014”可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时。 57. 考查形容词。句意：我从未想过这会变成我完成硕士学位、开始职业生涯、结婚并有两个孩子的时期。空处需用形容词作定语修饰名词life，profession的形容词为professional“职业的”。 58. 考查形容词。句意：我很快就被当地学生勤奋的天性所吸引，并很快与来自不同国家的同学成为朋友。固定搭配be attracted to 表示“被……吸引”。 59. 考查介词。句意：新事物层出不穷，新商店开张，人们到处奔波。on the go为固定短语，意为“忙碌，奔波”。 60. 考查名词。句意：除了这一切的兴奋之外，我还沉浸在另一种与我的文化完全不同的文化中。beyond为介词，后接名词作宾语，excite的名词为excitement“兴奋”。 61. 考查非谓语动词。句意：当我第一次和我现在的丈夫约会时，我们安排踢足球。arrange to do sth.为固定短语，意为“安排做某事”，所以空处需用动词不定式作宾语。 62. 考查名词复数。句意：他解释说我们会加入已经在那里踢球的陌生人。stranger为可数名词，此处表示泛指，且没有冠词限定，所以空处需用名词复数。 63. 考查冠词。句意：然而，尽管我是一个内向的人，这个想法还是吸引了我，我在中国最珍贵的许多记忆都与那里的集体和社区氛围有关。此处特指前文提到的“加入已经在那里踢球的陌生人”这个想法，所以空处需用定冠词the表示特指。 64. 考查定语从句。句意：这种对妈妈和宝宝的照顾，包括休息和特定的食物，与西方的经历形成鲜明对比，在西方，新妈妈们常常感到压力，要迅速恢复并自己处理大部分事情。空处需用关系词引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是the West，关系词在定语从句中作地点状语，所以空处需用关系副词where引导定语从句。 65. 考查非谓语动词。句意：从我丈夫的家人到街上的陌生人，中国人都非常友好，他们每天所做的事情的精神和自豪感激励着我。空处需用非谓语动词作状语，空处动词inspire与主句主语Chinese people之间是主动关系，所以空处需用现在分词作状语。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 假定你是某国际学校学生李华。你校将于下周五举办以“旧物新生 (Old Items, New Life)” 为主题的手工制作大赛。请给本校留学生 Kevin 写一封邮件，邀请他与你组队参赛。内容包括： (1)你的创意设想； (2)表达期待。 注意： (1)写作词数应为 80 个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear Kevin, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Kevin, Our school will hold the ‌“Old Items, New Life” handicraft competition next Friday.

I hummed random melodies as the lead singer, a smile spreading across my face. Across the hall, Mike, our bassist(贝斯手), stood beside Devlin, talking excitedly and gesturing wildly. Rob, our only drummer and the backbone of the band, was away on the school trip until Wednesday. With no temporary drummer available, Mike had invited his cousin Devlin, a skilled saxophonist, to fill the vacant melodic line parts and enrich our stage effect while Rob was absent. I could not catch every word, but I could guess his intention. At that moment, I buried myself in music and let go of extra worries. When Mike came over, he put it straight: “Devlin is incredibly talented. With him on board, the whole school will know we are rock stars after Friday’s show. Just imagine it.” There was a begging look in his eyes. My smile froze. “You want to go without Rob?” Rob was far more than our drummer. He had founded Superflash, written most of our songs, and held all of us together. Most importantly, he was my best friend. He always said the band was like a family. “I can’t agree, Mike,” I said firmly. “Rob loves this band deeply. It’s unfair to leave him out. We shouldn’t play without our official drummer.” Mike frowned. “That’s how music works. We need the best players to guarantee a flawless show,” he argued. “When Rob comes back, we’ll explain everything and he’ll understand.” I knew he meant no harm to Rob; he only wanted Friday’s performance to be perfect. I took a deep breath. I also longed for a wonderful show, but I could never betray my best friend. I turned to Devlin, wondering what he would say. He kept silent for a second, then picked up his saxophone. Soon, sweet melodious music filled the hall. Mike whistled softly and murmured, “Things have just changed.” It was settled that Devlin would join us as a guest saxophonist to polish melodic sections for the Friday show. Still, I felt uncertain about what would happen once Rob returned. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Rob returned on Wednesday to rehearse, spotted Devlin, and walked over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Friday night arrived, and the four of us were ready to play. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Rob returned on Wednesday to rehearse, spotted Devlin, and walked over. Slightly confused, he politely asked Devlin who he was and why he was here. Devlin smiled and briefly introduced himself as a guest saxophonist for the practice. As I stood there, tongue-tied with guilt, Mike stepped forward and earnestly explained the whole arrangement, emphasizing we only wanted a better show without replacing anyone. Rob fell into silence for a moment, then suggested we practice together to see how it went. As the beautiful melody of the saxophone blended concertedly with our music, his face lit up, readily agreeing to let Devlin be our guest saxophonist. Friday night arrived, and the four of us were ready to play. Backstage, we all felt a surge of nervousness, worrying that the limited rehearsal might mess up the show. However, as we started playing, all our concerns faded away. We cooperated seamlessly, with Devlin’s saxophone adding a unique touch to our performance, which instantly captivated the whole audience. The hall was filled with thunderous applause throughout the show. When the curtain fell, we looked at each other and smiled, deeply understanding that the true spirit of a band was not a perfect show, but mutual trust, teamwork and the warm family bond that bound us together. 【导语】本文围绕校园乐队为线索展开，讲述鼓手Rob外出研学，贝斯手Mike找来萨克斯手Devlin临时助阵演出，主唱纠结此举会辜负好友Rob，最终敲定Devlin客串，等待Rob归来后的变故与周五登台的故事。 【详解】 1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句可知，接下来可描写Rob初见Devlin心生疑惑，Mike出面解释临时邀约的缘由，合奏过后Rob接纳Devlin作为特邀嘉宾。 ② 由第二段首句可知，接下来可描写登台前众人忐忑，现场演奏配合默契、收获满堂喝彩，乐队成员领悟乐队的真谛是协作与情谊。 2. 续写线索 疑惑身份——说明情况——合奏磨合——登台紧张——配合出——感悟 3.词类激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/inquire ②消失：fade away/vanish 情绪类 ①困惑的：confused/puzzled ②紧张：nervousness/anxiety/tension 【点睛】 【高分句型1】Slightly confused, he politely asked Devlin who he was and why he was here.(运用了形容词作状语以及who和why引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】As I stood there, tongue-tied with guilt, Mike stepped forward and earnestly explained the whole arrangement, emphasizing we only wanted a better show without replacing anyone.(运用了as引导时间状语从句，现在分词emphasizing作状语，以及省略that的宾语从句) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Is anything wrong?

Fort Myers, Florida Fort Myers is an idyllic location perfect for beachy escapes. Fort Myers’ coasts are lined with white-sand beaches, unexplored inlets, and vast wildlife preserves. Because of its gorgeous coastal views, Fort Myers has all the tourist infrastructure you’ll need — including budget options for dining, lodging, and touring that feel effortlessly classy. Greenville, South Carolina Greenville is a fantastic alternative to anyone a little burnt out by Asheville’s growing crowds and rising prices. In Greenville, you’ll get to experience the beauty of the Appalachians along with the same independent and spirited arts community. In fact, you have Greenville’s modest pricing to thank for its flourishing art scene — and even a growing culinary scene. Again, you also get the best of Mother Nature. Cape May, New Jersey Cape May offers an atmosphere that calls back to the glory days of beachside summertime. The historic downtown Cape May area is home to gorgeous little bed and breakfasts, along with boutique shops and mom-and-pop eateries. Think of it like a more refined and affordable version of Atlantic City. Bozeman, Montana Most visitors are focused on winter sports and cool summers — but prices are steep in places like Jackson Hole. That’s not quite the case in Bozeman. Thanks to its status as a college town, there’s always a deal to be found. At the same time, you have access to all those upscale outdoor activities, from fishing to skiing to soaking in hot springs. 21. Where can you experience a strong artistic atmosphere? A. Fort Myers, Florida. B. Greenville, South Carolina. C. Cape May, New Jersey. D. Bozeman, Montana. 22. What do Fort Myers and Cape May have in common? A. Profound historical roots. B. Sizable wildlife shelters. C. Breathtaking seashore views. D. Luxurious outdoor activities. 23. Who are the target readers of this article? A. Foodies who enjoy special delicacies. B. Trendoids who seek hotspots. C. Shopaholics who are addicted to shopping. D. Travelers who have tight budgets. B For his 80th birthday, my grandfather, a man who had fixed everything with his large hands, received a tablet from my cousin. We gathered around, expecting him to be pleased. Instead, he held the device as if it were a foreign object, his thumb hovering awkwardly over the screen. He gave a polite smile that didn’t reach his eyes, and then set it aside. Later that day, I found him in his workshop — his true kingdom, filled with the smell of wood and oil. The tablet was lying untouched on a shelf, gathering dust next to jars of nails. “It’s too... clean,” he explained to me. “There’s no weight to it, no resistance. How can you truly fix something you can’t feel?” Then, one Saturday morning, he announced he was clearing out the garage. But what emerged from the garage was not bags of trash, but a parade of neighborhood kids, each carrying a bicycle with a problem: a loose chain, a wobbling wheel, a stubborn brake. Grandpa had placed a small sign at the end of the driveway: “Doc’s Bike Shop — Payment by Story.” And so the driveway became his new workshop. He traded his expertise not for money, but for tales of school adventures and summer dreams. His rough, worn hands, once hesitant around a tablet, were sure and steady as they spun a wheel or tightened a bolt. The laughter of children and the ringing of bicycle bells replaced the previous silence of the community. He didn’t need to enter their digital world; he created a real one in his own driveway. He wasn’t rejecting the new; he was simply reminding us that some connections can’t be downloaded. They have to be built, piece by piece, with the touch of a hand. 24. What can be inferred about the grandfather’s response to the tablet? A. He hated to learn new technology. B. He accepted it politely, though uninterested. C. He considered it a waste of money and time. D. He disliked the products made in foreign countries. 25. Why does the author mention the tablet gathering dust? A. To imply the tablet was out of date. B. To showcase grandfather’s attitude to the gift. C. To highlight grandpa’s passion for his hobby. D. To introduce the workshop’s messy condition. 26. What does the underlined word “wobbling” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Running steadily. B. Shining like a star. C. Singing softly. D. Moving from side to side. 27. What did the grandfather achieve by starting the service in the driveway? A. He proved his capability and productivity. B. He demonstrated the complexity of craftsmanship. C. He successfully earned himself money and fame. D. He found a way to connect with younger generation. C Getting into arguments with strangers online or family members at the dinner table can feel a bit like debating with a brick wall. This may be a tough task. To study the problem, the team from Ohio State, Stanford University, and Johns Hopkins University surveyed 1,261 Americans online. All of the participants read an article about a fictional school that did not have adequate water. Group one read an article that only gave reasons why the school should merge(合并) with another that has better water. Group two read an article that only gave reasons for the schools staying separate and hoping for other solutions to the problem. Group three was the control group that read all of the arguments for the schools merging and staying separate. They found that the majority of the two groups who only read the pro-merging or anti-merging arguments still believed that they had enough information to make a good decision about what to do. Most said that they would follow the recommendations in the article they read. About 55 percent of the control group recommended the school merge. The participants who had half of the information also said that they thought most other people would make the same decision they did. The team calls this belief that we are correct — even when we don’t have all of the information — the illusion of information adequacy. Fletcher, the leading author describes the illusion of information adequacy as, “The less that our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs to know. This makes us prone to think that we have all the crucial facts about a decision, leaping to confident conclusions and decisive judgments, when we are missing necessary information.” The team found that some of those participants were willing to change their minds about their decision — once they had all the facts. The mix of opinions after hearing both sides was comparable to the control group — about 55 percent to 45 percent. According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to fight the illusion of information adequacy when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something that I’m missing that would help me see their perspective and understand their position better?” 28. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By introducing a similar theory. B. By mentioning a previous study. C. By describing daily experiences. D. By explaining a term professionally. 29. What can be inferred from the study? A. Mistakes mainly rise from inadequate information. B. The participants were confident of their decision. C. Personal subjective understanding tends to be ignored in groups. D. The participants drew different conclusions even if with enough information. 30. What does the text suggest to avoid misunderstanding or conflicts? A. Changing the topics of the conversation. B. Getting more related information. C. Pretending to know all the information. D. Ignoring the arguments of the other person. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. What plays a big role in decisive judgments B. Where the confidence in judgments comes from C. Why people insist they’re correct without all the facts D. How people fight the illusion of information adequacy D In the blink of an eye, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly entered every walk of life, from self-driving taxis to software that reads X-rays, to virtual assistants that can schedule meetings and draft e-mails. However, will AI displace entire industries as mechanized factories did before? Like past world-changing tools such as mechanical cloth-making machines, AI is set to reshape the workplace greatly. But techno-pessimists argue AI’s impact has never been seen before. Economists estimate AI could rob 40% of jobs, with machines replacing much skilled human work and note that even remaining jobs may see declining wages due to reduced labor value. Amid these worries, 2024 Nobel Prize-winning economists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson advise learning from David Ricardo’s flexible thinking about the early Industrial Revolution. In his work Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, economist Ricardo initially supported new spinning machines (纺纱机), believing they would promote productivity for all. Though home spinners were displaced, many shifted to weaving (织布). However, technology changed everything: one machine outperformed 10-20 handweavers, ending cottage industry. Displaced weavers had no choices as factories created few new jobs, leading to falling wages and social unrest. Witnessing these consequences, Ricardo transformed his view. His 1821 revised work acknowledged that factors boosting national income might also make population extra resources and worsen laborers’ conditions. England eventually learned from the struggles of handweavers and the working class. The government expanded political representation for industrial cities, passed the 1833 Factory Act to manage child labor, and ended the protectionist Corn Laws in the 1840s to lower food costs. The history repeats today. As the AI era approaches, Johnson notes that AI has attracted enormous talents, similar to the late-1990s Internet boom, but history — especially the Industrial Revolution — shows that “new miracle machines do not guarantee benefits for most people.” With thoughtful policies, AI can avoid repeating past mistakes and build an inclusive future. When technology is guided by wisdom and responsibility, it can become a powerful tool that lifts people up, reduces inequality, and brings greater opportunities to all. 32. Which question can paragraph 2 answer? A. How is AI to affect the work settings? B. Why has technology replaced human work? C. Who suffered most from the Industrial Revolution? D. What did cloth-making machines bring to workers? 33. Why did David Ricardo change his attitude? A. The closure of cottage industry. B. The appearance of spinning and weaving. C. The indifference of the government. D. The suffering of workers and the society. 34. What lesson can be learned from the text? A. Every step forward is progress. B. Technology makes the complex simple. C. History is where you find the future. D. With great power comes great responsibility. 35. What might be talked about following the last paragraph? A. Details of David Ricardo’s theories. B. Policy examples for guiding AI. C. The introduction of the Internet boom. D. The development of AI technology. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Volunteer with the Telephone Friendship Service Just 30 minutes of your time a week could make a big difference to an older person’s life.

I hummed random melodies as the lead singer, a smile spreading across my face. Across the hall, Mike, our bassist(贝斯手), stood beside Devlin, talking excitedly and gesturing wildly. Rob, our only drummer and the backbone of the band, was away on the school trip until Wednesday. With no temporary drummer available, Mike had invited his cousin Devlin, a skilled saxophonist, to fill the vacant melodic line parts and enrich our stage effect while Rob was absent. I could not catch every word, but I could guess his intention. At that moment, I buried myself in music and let go of extra worries. When Mike came over, he put it straight: “Devlin is incredibly talented. With him on board, the whole school will know we are rock stars after Friday’s show. Just imagine it.” There was a begging look in his eyes. My smile froze. “You want to go without Rob?” Rob was far more than our drummer. He had founded Superflash, written most of our songs, and held all of us together. Most importantly, he was my best friend. He always said the band was like a family. “I can’t agree, Mike,” I said firmly. “Rob loves this band deeply. It’s unfair to leave him out. We shouldn’t play without our official drummer.” Mike frowned. “That’s how music works. We need the best players to guarantee a flawless show,” he argued. “When Rob comes back, we’ll explain everything and he’ll understand.” I knew he meant no harm to Rob; he only wanted Friday’s performance to be perfect. I took a deep breath. I also longed for a wonderful show, but I could never betray my best friend. I turned to Devlin, wondering what he would say. He kept silent for a second, then picked up his saxophone. Soon, sweet melodious music filled the hall. Mike whistled softly and murmured, “Things have just changed.” It was settled that Devlin would join us as a guest saxophonist to polish melodic sections for the Friday show. Still, I felt uncertain about what would happen once Rob returned. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Rob returned on Wednesday to rehearse, spotted Devlin, and walked over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Friday night arrived, and the four of us were ready to play. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
