A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了U.S. News评选出的2025年部分最佳职业，包括律师、理财顾问、软件开发工程师和执业护士，分别从行业、薪资、失业率及职业特点等方面进行了说明。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据各职业的失业率数据：律师0.5%、理财顾问1.3%、软件开发工程师2.4%、有行医执照的护士0.6%。失业率越低，就业率越高。律师的失业率最低 (0.5%)，因此就业率最高。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Software Developer部分中“ Among the top jobs for 2025,this profession carries the highest number of anticipated new jobs, with more than 300,000 new roles expected between 2023 and 2033. (在2025年最具前景的职业中，这一行业预计新增岗位数量最多，2023年至2033年间预计将创造超过30万个新职位。)”可知，软件开发工程师这一职业前景广阔。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。全文围绕2025年最佳职业展开，包含薪资、失业率、职业要求等信息，属于职业指导类内容，最可能出现在职业指南中。 B I’m a millennial (千禧一代) who grew up in the US during the rise of the modern Internet and someone who has studied Chinese and lived in China for several years now. I’ve now become familiar both with the language and different slang (俚语) words in both Chinese and English. Yet, something that’s always stood out to me when comparing English and Chinese slang is the abundance of numerically-based slang words that work like code words for Chinese expressions. Let’s break down a few and compare. We can start with 520. This number has a similar pronunciation to “I love you” in Chinese. The closest match I can think of in English to this would be something like “I <3 you” or “I heart you”, representing “I love you”. Still, the Chinese expression can be taken a step further through puns (双关语) using the date to represent the phrase in ways that English cannot. Another number-based pun is “2333”. Now, this one may seem even more confusing to a native English speaker since, if you follow the same pattern, you will find the pronunciation doesn’t seem to relate to any Chinese expression. But here, we get the sound of laughter: ahahaha! Interesting, isn’t it? Finally, saving the best for last, we have the famous phrase “666”. In Western culture, 666 is rarely seen as a lucky number; instead, it is often associated with evil forces or other unlucky signs. Yet, it is the complete opposite in Chinese, where 666 actually represents three repeated “liu” sounds. The hand gesture representing six—the thumb and little finger outstretched with the other fingers closed—is the same gesture in the US to represent something awesome or cool just happened! Clearly, slang is dependent on the language and culture it originates from. Thus, things that may seem confusing to someone with a different native language or culture simply take some adaptation to view from the right perspective. 4. What unique feature of Chinese slang is highlighted in the text? A. It is rich in number-related words. B. It has many humorous expressions. C. It is affected by the rise of the Internet. D. It has some roots in the English language. 5. Which of the following would the author agree with? A. “I <3 you” is a direct translation of “520”. B. Chinese number slang relies on pronunciation. C. “2333” combines the sounds of four Chinese words. D. The “six” hand gesture is perceived positively in the US. 6. What does the author suggest about the confusing foreign slang? A. Focusing on similar slang in our language. B. Learning about the original use of the slang. C. Shifting our way of thinking to grasp the meaning. D. Adapting the meaning from our cultural perspective. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend a way to learn Chinese. B. To compare slang and the culture behind it. C. To teach readers to use online slang properly. D. To clarify common misunderstandings of Chinese. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文结合作者学习中文、在华生活的经历，点明中文俚语的突出特点是存在大量数字相关的暗语式俚语，通过举例介绍三个典型中文数字网络俚语并对比其和英语文化中相关表达的差异，最终说明俚语依赖其诞生的语言与文化，理解令人困惑的外来俚语需要转换视角才能正确领会含义。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Yet, something that’s always stood out to me when comparing English and Chinese slang is the abundance of numerically-based slang words that work like code words for Chinese expressions.(然而，当我比较英语和汉语俚语时，有一点总是很突出，那就是大量的数字俚语，就像汉语表达的暗语一样。)”可知，中文俚语的突出特点是有大量基于数字的俚语，即富含数字相关词汇。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The hand gesture representing six—the thumb and little finger outstretched with the other fingers closed—is the same gesture in the US to represent something awesome or cool just happened!(在美国，代表数字六的手势——拇指和小指伸出，其余手指弯曲——也是表示刚刚发生了令人惊叹或很酷的事情的手势！)”可知，在美国，“六”的手势被人们积极看待。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Thus, things that may seem confusing to someone with a different native language or culture simply take some adaptation to view from the right perspective.(因此，某些看似令人困惑的事物，对于母语或文化背景不同的人来说，只需稍作适应便能从正确视角看待。)”可知，作者认为对陌生的外国俚语，需要调整适应，从正确的视角理解，也就是转换思维方式来领会含义。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。分析全文内容可知，文章开头就点明要对比中英文俚语，之后举例介绍中文数字俚语，对比了不同文化下数字、手势的含义差异，最后总结俚语依附于自身的语言文化，因此作者的写作目的是比较俚语及其背后的文化。故选B项。 C AI seems to be everywhere within education — a global survey found 86% of students use AI in their studies, with nearly one in four using it daily. This can be beneficial if AI is used responsibly, in accordance with school policy. There’s no doubt that large language models can be expert in breaking down difficult concepts simply and clearly. A Nature article found that AI tutoring (辅导) outperforms in-class active learning, with college students also feeling more engaged when the content is presented by AI. However, there’s growing evidence that students ought to be cautious when choosing to use AI. A study from MIT split subjects into three groups and asked them to write SAT essays: The group that had access to ChatGPT had the lowest brain connectivity when writing, struggled to accurately quote their own work and “consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.” Another study found while students who used ChatGPT to research a scientific topic did have a lower cognitive load, their reasoning was less thorough. These studies start to paint a picture: AI has the potential to negatively impact our critical thinking and problem-solving skills even while saving time. Of course, one can reasonably argue that new technology has always led to some skills becoming dated. The rise of calculators led to a decline in the importance of our ability to do mental arithmetic (算术). But AI differs from these technologies. Working to reason out a problem or research a topic not only creates better topic understanding, but it bolsters the problem-solving and critical thinking skills we use in every aspect of our daily life. Thus, the harm of skipping this process with AI is more than simply a reduced understanding of an academic concept or a skill not learned. We should continue to research the effects of AI. Using AI for research, conceptual understanding or even coding can help, but we should take a moment before using AI to determine if we actually need it. 8. What is a characteristic of AI tutoring? A. It has gained wide recognition among teachers. B. It excels in linking concepts to real-life situations. C. It focuses on improving mental calculating ability. D. It makes college students more involved in learning. 9. What do the studies in paragraph 2 find in common? A. AI improves students’ writing accuracy greatly. B. AI promotes active participation in academic research. C. AI reduces mental pressure while strengthening memory. D. AI weakens students’ thinking and problem-solving abilities. 10. What does the underlined word “bolsters” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Restricts. B. Reflects. C. Sharpens. D. Evaluates. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To advise on reasonable use of AI in study. B. To stress the importance of critical thinking. C. To show the popularity of AI among students. D. To introduce the functions of AI in education. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讨论了人工智能在教育中的应用及其对学生批判性思维和解决问题能力的潜在影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A Nature article found that AI tutoring (辅导) outperforms in-class active learning, with college students also feeling more engaged when the content is presented by AI. (一篇《自然》杂志的文章发现，AI辅导优于课堂主动学习，当内容由AI呈现时，大学生也感到更加投入)”可知，AI辅导的一个特点是它让大学生更投入学习。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The group that had access to ChatGPT had the lowest brain connectivity when writing, struggled to accurately quote their own work and “consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.” Another study found while students who used ChatGPT to research a scientific topic did have a lower cognitive load, their reasoning was less thorough.(能够使用ChatGPT的那组人在写作时大脑连通性最低，难以准确引用自己的作品，并且“在神经活动、语言表达和行为层面均持续表现欠佳。另一项研究发现，使用ChatGPT研究科学主题的学生确实认知负荷较低，但他们的推理不够透彻)”可知，这些研究的共同发现是AI削弱了学生的思维和解决问题能力。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Working to reason out a problem or research a topic not only creates better topic understanding, but it bolsters the problem-solving and critical thinking skills we use in every aspect of our daily life. (努力推理出问题或研究一个主题不仅能更好地理解主题，还能bolsters我们在日常生活各个方面使用的解决问题和批判性思维技能)”中“not only creates better topic understanding...but...”可知，句中在描述“努力推理出问题或研究一个主题”所带来的好处，结合“problem-solving and critical thinking skills”可推知，可以“增强”或“提升”解决问题和批判性思维技能。故划线词意为“增强；提升”，与“Sharpens”同义。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章第一段指出AI在教育中的普及及其益处，第二段指出AI可能带来的负面影响，第三段进一步阐述跳过思考过程的危害，最后一段建议“we should take a moment before using AI to determine if we actually need it. (在使用AI之前，我们应该花点时间确定我们是否真的需要它)”，由此推知，作者的写作目的是建议在学习中合理使用AI。 D Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you’ll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school. On average, teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 “friends” on their favourite social networking site. Adults have 130. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich. However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won’t make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends. He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 150 people. Among these 150, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You’ve most likely known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they’re close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren’t close. And finally, there’s a large group of 100. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don’t know them well. Beyond this number, Dunbar says, it’s impossible to make any relationship meaningful. If you have a lot of online “friends”, try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven’t been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can’t remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn’t mind losing touch with. How many do you have left? How many of these people are actually good friends? According to the research, these are the only people that really matter. 12. What are the studies mentioned in the first paragraph mainly about? A. The number of friends you should have. B. The advantages of having a lot of friends. C. Some social skills you may need at work. D. Some useful advice on how to make friends. 13. What can be inferred from Dunbar’s study? A. Most social media connections fail to develop into meaningful relationships. B. The number of online friends directly determines one’s life quality. C. People with 2,000 online friends have a wider circle of close friends. D. Shared interests are the key to maintaining long-term close friendships. 14. What does the underlined part “this number” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. 10. B. 35. C. 100. D. 150. 15. What does the text mainly want to show? A. You need to spend more time with your friends. B. There is a lot of research on the influence of friends. C. Friends are sometimes more important than family. D. It’s more important to have good friends than lots of friends. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了朋友数量与质量的关系，引用多项研究说明拥有好朋友的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的句子“Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you’ll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life. (澳大利亚的研究人员对1500人及其生活方式进行了研究，发现拥有好朋友有助于长寿。一项针对1万名学生、历时35年的美国研究也发现，如果你在学校里交的朋友比普通人多，你以后的工资会更高。)”可知，第一段提到的研究主要是关于拥有很多朋友的好处。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的句子“He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 150 people. (他发现他们最多只和150人交流。)”以及第四段中的句子“Beyond this number, Dunbar says, it’s impossible to make any relationship meaningful. (邓巴说，超过这个数字，就不可能让任何关系变得有意义。)”可推断出，大多数社交媒体联系无法发展成有意义的关系。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段的句子“He found that they always communicate with a maximum of 150 people (他发现他们最多总是与150人交流)”以及第四段对这150人进行分层描述，结合划线短语所在的句子“Beyond this number, Dunbar says, it’s impossible to make any relationship meaningful (Dunbar说，超过这个数字，就不可能让任何关系变得有意义)”可知，“this number”指代前文提到的150人。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了关于朋友数量和质量的研究，指出虽然人们在社交媒体上有很多“朋友”，但真正有意义的关系数量有限，强调拥有好朋友比拥有很多朋友更重要。 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。 On his 15th birthday, Wilson Bentley’s mother gave him an old microscope. It was snowing that day, and the boy succeeded in getting a glimpse of a six-sided snowflake (雪花) with the device. ____16____ When he was 17, Bentley asked his parents to buy him a new, better microscope and a camera. Bentley then spent 2 years figuring out how to take a picture of a snowflake under a microscope. On January 15, 1885, he did it, creating the world’s first photomicrograph. ____17____ Outdoors, he collected snowflakes on a wooden tray that was painted black. Once inside, while still wearing big gloves to keep his hands warm, he used a straw (吸管) to pick up the snowflake and place it on a microscope slide. Then being careful not to breathe on the flake, he quickly examined and photographed it. Taking photomicrographs was only half of a long process. In those days, glass plates (感光板) were used to take photographs. Bentley developed the plates in a dark room under some stairs and then carried the plates to a nearby stream to wash them. ____18____ Bentley shared his snowflakes with anyone interested. He sold prints of his photomicrographs for 5 cents each. He wrote articles for scientists and for magazines such as National Geographic. Occasionally, he felt discouraged that few people seemed to care about his work. ____19____ At age 65, he photographed his 5,000th snowflake. Slowly, people became interested. Reporters sometimes appeared at his door. People began to call him “the Snowflake Man” and “Professor Bentley.” ____20____ In 1920, Bentley was elected as one of the first members of the American Meteorological Society, which later awarded him its first research grant in 1924. A. Still, he never stopped. B. The process was difficult and cold. C. Sometimes he did this at night in the dark. D. Jewelry makers copied the snowflake designs. E. Sometimes he handled the snowflake with a feather. F. He dedicated himself to observing flakes of snow for 60 years. G. This was the beginning of a fascination that lasted the rest of his life. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. C 19. A 20. D 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了Wilson Bentley从15岁迷恋雪花开始，通过自制设备拍摄世界上首张雪花显微照片，并克服严寒与技术困难持续研究多年，最终其成果获得认可。 【16题详解】 上文“On his 15th birthday, Wilson Bentley’s mother gave him an old microscope. It was snowing that day, and the boy succeeded in getting a glimpse of a six-sided snowflake (雪花) with the device. (在Wilson Bentley 15岁生日那天，他的母亲送给他一台旧显微镜。那天正在下雪，这个男孩用这台仪器成功地看到了一个六边形的雪花。)”讲述Bentley在15岁生日时首次用显微镜看到六边形雪花，下文“When he was 17, Bentley asked his parents to buy him a new, better microscope and a camera. (在他17岁那年，Bentley请求父母给他买一台新的、更好的显微镜以及一台相机。)”提到他在17岁时想要更好的显微镜和相机，因此G项“This was the beginning of a fascination that lasted the rest of his life. (这是他终生迷恋雪花的开端。)”符合语境，指出首次看到雪花的经历对他产生了深远影响，承上启下。 【17题详解】 下文“Outdoors, he collected snowflakes on a wooden tray that was painted black. Once inside, while still wearing big gloves to keep his hands warm, he used a straw (吸管) to pick up the snowflake and place it on a microscope slide. Then being careful not to breathe on the flake, he quickly examined and photographed it. (在户外，他将雪花收集在一块涂成黑色的木托盘里。回到室内后，尽管仍戴着大手套以保持双手温暖，他还是用一根吸管将雪花吸起，并将其放在显微镜载玻片上。然后，他小心翼翼地避免对着雪花哈气，迅速对其进行观察并拍照。)”详细描述他在户外收集雪花、用吸管移动雪花、小心避免呼吸影响等细节，因此B项“The process was difficult and cold. (这个过程既困难又寒冷。)”符合语境，可作为段首句概括这一段的主题，统领下文。 【18题详解】 上文“Bentley developed the plates in a dark room under some stairs and then carried the plates to a nearby stream to wash them. (Bentley在楼梯下的一间暗室里冲洗这些感光板，然后把感光板拿到附近的小溪里冲洗。)”描述他冲洗感光板的方法和过程，因此C项“Sometimes he did this at night in the dark. (有时他在黑暗中夜间进行。)”符合语境，补充说明他冲洗感光板的另一方法，和上文是并列关系。 【19题详解】 上文“Occasionally, he felt discouraged that few people seemed to care about his work. (有时，他会感到有些沮丧，因为似乎很少有人关心他的工作。)”提到他有时会沮丧，下文“At age 65, he photographed his 5,000th snowflake. (在65岁那年，他拍摄了自己第5000片雪花的照片。)”表明他仍坚持着这项热爱，因此A项“Still, he never stopped. (尽管如此，他从未停止。)”符合语境，和上文构成转折，衔接下文的坚持。 【20题详解】 上文“Slowly, people became interested. Reporters sometimes appeared at his door. People began to call him “the Snowflake Man” and “Professor Bentley.” (渐渐地，人们开始对他产生了兴趣。记者们有时会来到他家门前。人们开始称他为“雪花先生”和“Bentley教授”。)”指出他受到关注，并列举具体事例佐证，因此D项“Jewelry makers copied the snowflake designs. (珠宝制造商仿制雪花设计。)”符合语境，说明他的工作启发了艺术和商业领域，和上文的事例并列，句式相仿，共同支撑段首提到的关注。 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) I complained to my dog Tuck that driving twelve miles to the town in the strong wind was all because I had forgotten to buy his medicine.

Every day after school, she would stay late and prepare for the next day’s class. One day, Helen stayed so late that she missed the last bus and had to walk home. On her way back, she met an old man selling some children’s storybooks. She was curious and picked up one. “Are all these children’s stories? Why are there no extra copies of them?” she humbly asked the old man. The old man introduced himself as Rowan and said he wrote them. “I had worked in a publishing house but it was shut down years ago, so I was out of work.” Helen was fascinated by the man’s dedication to writing. “I want to buy some books from you,” Helen told Rowan. Rowan was delighted as not many people were interested in even stopping by on this crowded sidewalk. He gave Helen a book along with his address. “You can come to my place for more!” That evening, Helen was carried away by Rowan’s stories. She couldn’t wait to meet the old man because she wanted more books. The next day after school, Helen hurried to Rowan’s address and was surprised to see an abandoned house. Helen couldn’t believe her eyes. Rowan lived in an old house near an old factory shut down decades ago. As Helen entered it, she noticed it wasn’t furnished except for an old bed, plenty of carton boxes with papers and books ready for binding. She looked around for the old man and found him in front of an old typewriter. “Welcome to my little nest,” Rowan greeted Helen warmly, who felt sorry for him and determined he deserved recognition. During their conversation, Helen learned that Rowan had stuck to his writing dream for decades. Even after losing his job and living in poverty, he continued to create children’s stories every day. Deeply touched by Rowan’s firm passion for writing, she resolved to help make his talent seen by more people. 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。 Back at home, Helen took action immediately. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Before long, a publishing house contacted Rowan. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Back at home, Helen took action immediately. First, she shared Rowan’s delicate stories with her literature students. The kids were deeply fascinated by the touching plots and pure language, and they all hoped to read more of his works. Next, Helen carefully sorted and organized Rowan’s scattered manuscripts, revising minor details to make the stories more fluent. She actively contacted local publishers and cultural platforms, sincerely introducing Rowan’s experiences and the unique value of his creations. She also posted parts of his stories on social media, which soon received widespread attention and favorable reviews. Before long, a publishing house contacted Rowan. They spoke highly of Rowan’s gentle writing style and heartfelt content, formally deciding to publish his complete story collection. Upon release, the books gained great popularity among children and parents alike, earning countless positive comments. Rowan earned a steady income and moved into a bright, comfortable new house, completely saying goodbye to his lonely and tough days in the shabby old one. It was Helen’s selfless help that lit up his late years and rewarded his long years of persistence. True kindness is always powerful, which can discover hidden brilliance and warm every persistent dream. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述文学老师海伦偶遇失业老人罗恩售卖原创儿童故事书，得知他数十年坚守写作梦想、生活清贫后深受触动，决心出手相助，最终让罗恩的作品被出版社发掘，圆梦成功的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写海伦回家后采取的一系列行动，包括分享故事、整理稿件、联系平台与出版商、线上宣传。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写出版社接洽罗恩、书籍顺利出版并大获成功，罗恩生活得到改善，也点明善意与坚持的意义。 2. 续写线索：分享故事 → 整理稿件 → 多方推广 → 出版社联系 → 书籍出版走红 → 生活改善、梦想成真 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①整理：sort/arrange ②决定做：decide to do/make up one’s mind to do 情绪类 ①着迷的：be fascinated /be attracted /be captivated ②真诚地：sincerely/genuinely 【点睛】【高分句型1】She also posted parts of his stories on social media, which soon received widespread attention and favorable reviews.

News evaluated occupations in a range of industries-from health care to engineering-weighing median salary and unemployment rate,among other factors. Here aresome of them. Lawyer Industry: Social services Median salary: $145,760 Unemployment rate: 0.5% Lawyers represent clients in legal matters, frequently earning solid pay for their skills and expertise. To enter the profession, aspiring lawyers typically must earn a law degree and secure state licensing, which often requires passing the bar exam. Within the field, different lawyers focus on various practice areas, from arguing cases in criminal court to drawing up estate-planning documents. Financial Advisor Industry: Business Median salary: $99,580 Unemployment rate: 1.3% Financial advisors help clients manage money and reach financial goals. They may specialize in fields such as insurance and investment management. These professionals often need to balance mathematical abilities with interpersonal skills. By 2033, strong growth is expected in this field. Software Developer Industry: Technology Median salary: $132,270 Unemployment rate: 2.4% Software developers are the tech experts who develop, recommend and maintain software systems and upgrades. They may need to write code and work cooperatively to fix bugs and serve an organization's needs. Among the top jobs for 2025,this profession carries the highest number of anticipated new jobs, with more than 300,000 new roles expected between 2023 and 2033. Nurse Practitioner (从业人员) Industry: Health care Median salary: $126,260 Unemployment rate: 0.6% For the second year in a row, the No. 1 job is that of a nurse practitioner. These highly-paid and highly-educated professionals care for patients, completing physical exams,analyzing lab results and prescribing medications.

Which job has the highest employment rate according to the text? A. A lawyer. B. A financial advisor. C. A software developer. D. A nurse practitioner. 2. What feature does the job of a software developer present? A. Low status. B. Limited flexibility. C. A good prospect. D. The highest salary. 3. Where are you most likely to read the text? A. In a career guide. B. In a science textbook. C. In a health report. D. In a fashion magazine. B I’m a millennial (千禧一代) who grew up in the US during the rise of the modern Internet and someone who has studied Chinese and lived in China for several years now. I’ve now become familiar both with the language and different slang (俚语) words in both Chinese and English. Yet, something that’s always stood out to me when comparing English and Chinese slang is the abundance of numerically-based slang words that work like code words for Chinese expressions. Let’s break down a few and compare. We can start with 520. This number has a similar pronunciation to “I love you” in Chinese. The closest match I can think of in English to this would be something like “I <3 you” or “I heart you”, representing “I love you”. Still, the Chinese expression can be taken a step further through puns (双关语) using the date to represent the phrase in ways that English cannot. Another number-based pun is “2333”. Now, this one may seem even more confusing to a native English speaker since, if you follow the same pattern, you will find the pronunciation doesn’t seem to relate to any Chinese expression. But here, we get the sound of laughter: ahahaha! Interesting, isn’t it? Finally, saving the best for last, we have the famous phrase “666”. In Western culture, 666 is rarely seen as a lucky number; instead, it is often associated with evil forces or other unlucky signs. Yet, it is the complete opposite in Chinese, where 666 actually represents three repeated “liu” sounds. The hand gesture representing six—the thumb and little finger outstretched with the other fingers closed—is the same gesture in the US to represent something awesome or cool just happened! Clearly, slang is dependent on the language and culture it originates from. Thus, things that may seem confusing to someone with a different native language or culture simply take some adaptation to view from the right perspective. 4. What unique feature of Chinese slang is highlighted in the text? A. It is rich in number-related words. B. It has many humorous expressions. C. It is affected by the rise of the Internet. D. It has some roots in the English language. 5. Which of the following would the author agree with? A. “I <3 you” is a direct translation of “520”. B. Chinese number slang relies on pronunciation. C. “2333” combines the sounds of four Chinese words. D. The “six” hand gesture is perceived positively in the US. 6. What does the author suggest about the confusing foreign slang? A. Focusing on similar slang in our language. B. Learning about the original use of the slang. C. Shifting our way of thinking to grasp the meaning. D. Adapting the meaning from our cultural perspective. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend a way to learn Chinese. B. To compare slang and the culture behind it. C. To teach readers to use online slang properly. D. To clarify common misunderstandings of Chinese. C AI seems to be everywhere within education — a global survey found 86% of students use AI in their studies, with nearly one in four using it daily. This can be beneficial if AI is used responsibly, in accordance with school policy. There’s no doubt that large language models can be expert in breaking down difficult concepts simply and clearly. A Nature article found that AI tutoring (辅导) outperforms in-class active learning, with college students also feeling more engaged when the content is presented by AI. However, there’s growing evidence that students ought to be cautious when choosing to use AI. A study from MIT split subjects into three groups and asked them to write SAT essays: The group that had access to ChatGPT had the lowest brain connectivity when writing, struggled to accurately quote their own work and “consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.” Another study found while students who used ChatGPT to research a scientific topic did have a lower cognitive load, their reasoning was less thorough. These studies start to paint a picture: AI has the potential to negatively impact our critical thinking and problem-solving skills even while saving time. Of course, one can reasonably argue that new technology has always led to some skills becoming dated. The rise of calculators led to a decline in the importance of our ability to do mental arithmetic (算术). But AI differs from these technologies. Working to reason out a problem or research a topic not only creates better topic understanding, but it bolsters the problem-solving and critical thinking skills we use in every aspect of our daily life. Thus, the harm of skipping this process with AI is more than simply a reduced understanding of an academic concept or a skill not learned. We should continue to research the effects of AI. Using AI for research, conceptual understanding or even coding can help, but we should take a moment before using AI to determine if we actually need it. 8. What is a characteristic of AI tutoring? A. It has gained wide recognition among teachers. B. It excels in linking concepts to real-life situations. C. It focuses on improving mental calculating ability. D. It makes college students more involved in learning. 9. What do the studies in paragraph 2 find in common? A. AI improves students’ writing accuracy greatly. B. AI promotes active participation in academic research. C. AI reduces mental pressure while strengthening memory. D. AI weakens students’ thinking and problem-solving abilities. 10. What does the underlined word “bolsters” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Restricts. B. Reflects. C. Sharpens. D. Evaluates. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To advise on reasonable use of AI in study. B. To stress the importance of critical thinking. C. To show the popularity of AI among students. D. To introduce the functions of AI in education. D Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you’ll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school. On average, teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 “friends” on their favourite social networking site. Adults have 130. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich. However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won’t make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends. He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 150 people. Among these 150, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You’ve most likely known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they’re close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren’t close. And finally, there’s a large group of 100. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don’t know them well. Beyond this number, Dunbar says, it’s impossible to make any relationship meaningful. If you have a lot of online “friends”, try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven’t been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can’t remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn’t mind losing touch with. How many do you have left? How many of these people are actually good friends? According to the research, these are the only people that really matter. 12. What are the studies mentioned in the first paragraph mainly about? A. The number of friends you should have. B. The advantages of having a lot of friends. C. Some social skills you may need at work. D. Some useful advice on how to make friends. 13. What can be inferred from Dunbar’s study? A. Most social media connections fail to develop into meaningful relationships. B. The number of online friends directly determines one’s life quality. C. People with 2,000 online friends have a wider circle of close friends. D. Shared interests are the key to maintaining long-term close friendships. 14. What does the underlined part “this number” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. 10. B. 35. C. 100. D. 150. 15. What does the text mainly want to show? A. You need to spend more time with your friends. B. There is a lot of research on the influence of friends. C. Friends are sometimes more important than family. D. It’s more important to have good friends than lots of friends. 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。 On his 15th birthday, Wilson Bentley’s mother gave him an old microscope.

Every day after school, she would stay late and prepare for the next day’s class. One day, Helen stayed so late that she missed the last bus and had to walk home. On her way back, she met an old man selling some children’s storybooks. She was curious and picked up one. “Are all these children’s stories? Why are there no extra copies of them?” she humbly asked the old man. The old man introduced himself as Rowan and said he wrote them. “I had worked in a publishing house but it was shut down years ago, so I was out of work.” Helen was fascinated by the man’s dedication to writing. “I want to buy some books from you,” Helen told Rowan. Rowan was delighted as not many people were interested in even stopping by on this crowded sidewalk. He gave Helen a book along with his address. “You can come to my place for more!” That evening, Helen was carried away by Rowan’s stories. She couldn’t wait to meet the old man because she wanted more books. The next day after school, Helen hurried to Rowan’s address and was surprised to see an abandoned house. Helen couldn’t believe her eyes. Rowan lived in an old house near an old factory shut down decades ago. As Helen entered it, she noticed it wasn’t furnished except for an old bed, plenty of carton boxes with papers and books ready for binding. She looked around for the old man and found him in front of an old typewriter. “Welcome to my little nest,” Rowan greeted Helen warmly, who felt sorry for him and determined he deserved recognition. During their conversation, Helen learned that Rowan had stuck to his writing dream for decades. Even after losing his job and living in poverty, he continued to create children’s stories every day. Deeply touched by Rowan’s firm passion for writing, she resolved to help make his talent seen by more people. 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。 Back at home, Helen took action immediately. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Before long, a publishing house contacted Rowan. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
