In 2011, my fifth time in Ladakh, the region's raw beauty held an entirely different pull——one that seemed to hum with an ancient energy, a force I hadn't noticed before. In the very bones of the land lay a collection of prehistoric carvings known as petroglyphs(岩画), the only remains of prehistoric human presence in the area. Seeing these carvings, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was witnessing something far deeper than I had imagined. There was an urgency to document them, as centuries-old carvings were being destroyed under the pressures of development. As a mountain enthusiast always seeking adventures, this attractive art drew me in, like a moth to a flame, beginning a decade-long journey of discovery and documentation. These markings were not just carvings on rock but reflections of an ancient culture we know little about. Despite tough living conditions, these hunter gatherers still found ways to convey their beliefs and observations through highly stylized forms, reflecting the deep artistic desire that has always been a part of the human——long before the rise of civilized society. As artist and anthropologist Desmond Morris put it,“It is as if the human species were incapable of being artless regardless of material circumstances.” To bring these open-air art galleries to a wider audience, I wanted to create something that had not been attempted before by using specialized photography techniques with my focus being on distribution, styles and creative range. It was no small matter, given the vastness of Ladakh, my ambition to capture art from every region, the limited windows of opportunity, and the harsh conditions I faced. Not to mention, all my trips were personally funded. When the book ——Speaking Stones:Rock Art of Ladakh—— was named a finalist for the Banff Mountain Book Award in 2024, I was honored, but the recognition was secondary.My true reward was a deeper connection with time and nature through a vast unbroken string, binding us all together. 24. What drove the author to document the petroglyphs? A. A childhood bond with ancient art. B. The appeal of amazing scenery. C. A search for thrilling experiences. D. The threat of regional progress. 25. What can we learn from Morris's quote in paragraph 3? A. Art is deeply rooted in humans. B. Art inspires human wisdom. C. Art can't exist without materials. D. Art is the mirror of nature. 26. Which can best describe the process of creating the book? A. Painstaking. B. Dramatic. C. Systematic. D. Smooth. 27. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Tasting the Past: The Analysis of Petroglyph B. Guarding the Rocks: A Saver of Ladakh's Heritage C. Written in Stone: Ladakh's Timeless Artistry D. Carved by Time: A Record of Himalayan Geography C Researchers have long been interested in how humans and animals make decisions by focusing on trial-and-error behavior informed by recent information. However, the conventional frameworks for understanding these behaviors may overlook certain realities of decision-making because they assume we make the best decisions after taking into account our past experiences. One new study employs AI in innovative ways to better understand this process.By using tiny artificial neural networks,the researchers' work illuminates in detail what drives an individual's actual choices. “Instead of assuming how brains should learn in bettering our decisions, we developed an alternative approach to discover how individual brains actually learn to make decisions,” explains Mattar, a professor in New York University.“This approach functions like a detective, uncovering how decisions are actually made by animals and humans. By using tiny neural networks — small enough to be understood but powerful enough to catch complex behavior —— we' ve discovered decision-making strategies that scientists have overlooked for decades.” “Large neural networks used in AI are very good at predicting things,”says Benna,a professor at UC San Diego’ s School.“For example,they can predict which movie you would like to watch next. However,it is very challenging to describe simply what strategies these complex machine learning models employ to make their predictions— such as why they think you will like one movie more than another one. By training the simplest versions of these AI models to predict animals’ choices and analyzing their dynamics using methods from physics, we can throw light on their inner workings in more easily understandable terms.” Understanding how animals and humans learn from experience to make decisions is not only a primary goal in the sciences, but, more broadly, useful in the fields of business, government, and technology. However, existing models of this process, because they are aimed at describing optimal(最佳的) decision-making, often fail to get realistic behavior. “Just as studying individual differences in physical characteristics has revolutionized medicine, understanding individual differences in decision-making strategies could transform our approach to mental health and cognitive function,” concludes Mattar. 28. What can be inferred about traditional decision-making models? A.They ignore choices that are not the best. B.They pay much attention to individual differences. C.They are consistent with real-life decision behavior. D.They use AI-based methods. 29. What is special about the new study? A.Predicting movie preferences. B.Analyzing past experiences. C.Using tiny neural networks. D.Revisiting conventional frameworks. 30. What does Benna mean concerning large neural networks? A.They lack predictive accuracy. B.They outperform tiny networks in research. C.Their strategies are hard to interpret. D.They revolutionize decision-making studies. What is Mattar's attitude towards the new research? A.Cautiously skeptical. B.Indifferently neutral. C.Mildly critical. D.Strongly supportive. D For too long, we have held a narrow and biased view of nature,seeing it as something separate from our urban lives—something to be visited in natural parks or distant wilderness.We pass by the moss in a crack or the algae(绿藻) in a gutter(水沟 ) with indifference,even disgust.However, cities are not empty of life but are unique, lively ecosystems, and recognizing this should allow us to redefine what it means to be a naturalist in the modern world. Within ordinary urban landscapes, life displays extraordinary toughness and creativity. Plants and microorganisms not only survive but grow well in the heat and pollution of city gutters. Urban animals have also developed smart behaviors: Japanese crows use cars to crack nuts, and Australian cockatoos open trash bins for food. Furthermore, cities drive physical changes in their residents. Some lizards have developed stickier feet to better hold on smooth man-made surfaces. This concrete“jungle” is thus not a biological desert but a dynamic, human-made ecosystem, representing a fascinating new chapter in the story of life on our planet. Therefore, the old image of a naturalist — a professional in remote wilds ——— is outdated.Academic papers and online courses make biology and ecology procurable to everyone. Community labs and nature clubs enable ordinary people to do research with microscopes and other simple tools. When we accept the city as a real ecosystem, we allow everyone to become a “community scientist”. For those feeling disconnected from nature in cities, there's a new way: just stay curious and notice the ignored ecological corners, and city life may be filled with new surprises and joys. You don't need to be a professional scientist—— anyone can be a naturalist-explorer in the urban wilderness. 32.What phenomenon does the author point out in Paragraph 1? A.Naturalists need professional training. B.People favor wilderness over urban life. C.City residents overlook nearby nature. D.Ecologists redefine biased nature concepts. 33. How does the author show cities are lively ecosystems? A.By criticizing current opinions. B.By suggesting new research findings. C.By comparing biodiversity from different habitats. D.By giving examples of organism adaptation. 34. What does the underlined word“procurable” in paragraph 3 mean? A.Suitable. B.Comfortable. C.Reasonable. D.Accessible. 35. What idea does the author aim to challenge in the passage? A.Urbanization damages the environment. B.Evolution mainly exists in wild nature. C.Naturalists are limited to professionals. D.City holds a distinct and dynamic ecology. 第二节 七选五(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。 Meetings are a key way to get yourself noticed. When you“hold your own” in a meeting, you show that you' re confident, and this can mark you out as a future leader. 34 So no matter how many great ideas you have in your head, they' re useless to you, your team, and your organization until you express them. Here is the guide to getting your voice heard at meetings. Come prepared. Have some talking points planned out before you express your idea. Practice with a trusted colleague who can help you iron out any problems. Imagine the possible reactions people might have to your idea. 37 What are some questions that might come up in response to your idea? How will you answer those questions? Get to the point. Engage people in with the main points of the idea, then dive into the details.When you start strong,you'll give them a reason to continue listening. 38 People are overwhelmed with numerous things to do at work. While the eight second attention span may be a myth, people certainly appreciate brevity(简短) now more than ever 34, People lose interest when they're listening to a long talk.Invite them to be a part of your idea. Organize your argument in a way that makes them want to ask questions and learn more. When you give them time to ask questions, they' ll be more interested, attentive, and engaged. The more you can engage them, the more they' ll truly listen. Have confidence in yourself. The more you believe in yourself, the more that shows through when you express an idea. People can hear the confidence in your voice when you speak and see it in your body language. If you allow yourself to think that you' re nervous, you' ll convince yourself to be. Fight nerves by taking a few moments to stand in a power pose. 40 A.Speak with elegance and intention. B.Time is precious. C.Make it a conversation. D.Unluckily, your colleagues can't read minds. E.This is how you show value and make a positive impression. F.Look at it from as many other perspectives as possible. G.It gives you time to quiet your mind and focus. 第三部分 语言知识运用(满分30分) 第一节完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) Six days of spring rain had created a raging river running by Nancy Brown's farm.As she tried to herd her cows to higher ground, she 41 and hit her head on a fallen tree trunk.

The wind blew hard, and the river nearby rose higher and higher until it rushed into the streets. The water was strong and dark, carrying away trees and cars. People could only watch from far away as the flood destroyed their beautiful town.It was a frightening time that no one would ever forget. Finally, the scary flood went away. But for people in the town, the silence it left behind was even louder than the roaring water. Many lost their beloved houses. Jeremy was one of them. His house was now nothing more than a pile of ruins. The front steps he used to jump off as a boy were gone. And more painfully, the kitchen wall, marked with pencil lines recording his height every year, was buried under broken bricks and mud. Everything that made it a“home” had disappeared, leaving only a cold, gray emptiness. Before the storm, Jeremy's house was a wonderful place. It was a warm brick house with a pretty garden full of yellow sunflowers and red roses. Inside, the rooms were always bright and smelled like his mother's homemade cookies. For fifteen years, this house had been their world. It was where his family celebrated birthdays and shared happy stories. “We can rebuild the walls, son,” Jeremy's father said softly to him.“But we can't bring back the stories these walls told. A home is more than just a building; it's the memories it held.” Emma, Jeremy's best friend, was gifted in painting and felt Jeremy's sadness as if it were her own. She felt a strong desire to help him. Though she didn't have bricks to build a house, she had a different kind of power —— a brush that could capture the soul of what was lost. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)谓按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Emma decided to paint Jeremy's house. Jeremy carefully took the painting from Emma. 答案： 阅读理解 (21-35) 21. B 22. C 23. A 24. D 25. A 26. A 27. C 28. C 29. C 30. C 31. D 32. C 33. D 34. D 35. C 七选五 (36-40) 36. D37. F38. B39. C40.

The aim of this activity was to enrich our campus life and help us appreciate the beauty of Chinese poetry. During the event, students recited classic poems with great passion on stage. Some even wore traditional costumes and played background music, creating a wonderful atmosphere. I was deeply touched by everyone's performance. It not only improved my appreciation of literature but also made me feel the vigorous spirit of youth. I hope you can experience something similar someday! Yours, Li Hua 读后续写 根据原文的情节发展：洪水摧毁了杰里米（Jeremy）的家，他非常悲伤。他的好朋友艾玛（Emma）虽然不会盖房子，但她擅长画画，决定用画笔捕捉那个家的灵魂来帮助他。 版本一：侧重情感描写与细节还原（推荐） Paragraph 1: Emma decided to paint Jeremy's house. She spent days visiting the ruins, sketching every detail from memory and observation. She didn't just draw bricks and mortar; she painted the warmth of the kitchen where his mother baked cookies, the height marks on the doorframe, and the vibrant sunflowers that once danced in the garden. With every stroke of her brush, she poured her love and empathy into the canvas, trying to bring the lost "home"back to life on paper.The painting became a bridge between the painful past and a hopeful future,capturing not just a building,but the essence of Jeremy's childhood. Paragraph 2: Jeremy carefully took the painting from Emma. His hands trembled slightly as he gazed at the familiar scene before him. Tears welled up in his eyes, but they were not tears of despair anymore; they were tears of gratitude and relief. In the painting, the house stood tall and bright, exactly as it used to be, safe from the floodwaters. "It's perfect," he whispered, hugging Emma tightly. Thanks to her gift, he realized that while the physical walls were gone, the memories and the love within them could never be washed away.He finally felt ready to rebuild,knowing his home would always live in his heart. 版本二：侧重动作描写与心理变化（简洁版） Paragraph 1: Emma decided to paint Jeremy's house. She sat by the pile of ruins for hours, closing her eyes to recall the happy moments they had shared there. She mixed colors to match the warm yellow of the sunflowers and the cozy red of the roses. On the canvas, the broken bricks transformed into a sturdy wall, and the muddy ground became a blooming garden again. She wanted to show Jeremy that the spirit of his home was indestructible. It was her way of saying that even though things had changed, the beauty of his memories remained intact. Paragraph 2: Jeremy carefully took the painting from Emma. As he looked at the vivid image, a smile slowly appeared on his face for the first time since the storm. The painting was more than just art; it was a precious gift that restored his hope. He saw the front steps where he used to jump and the kitchen that smelled of cookies. Holding the frame against his chest, he turned to Emma and said, "Thank you. Now I know what I am rebuilding."With the painting as a guide and inspiration,Jeremy began to clear the debris, ready to build a new future upon the foundation of his cherished memories. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
