( 该角色为Events团队提供必要的行政支持。)”可知，活动助理的主要职责是团队提供行政支持。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据About you中“You must be a clear communicator who can work well with a wide range of workmates and guests. The ideal candidate should be organized and able to manage multiple tasks at once in a fast-paced environment.( 您应具备良好的沟通能力，能够与各类同事和访客顺畅合作。理想的候选人需条理清晰，在快节奏环境中同时处理多项任务。)”可知，理想的候选人需要具备多任务处理和沟通能力。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文以及标题“Vacancy: Events Assistant at the British Museum(职位：大英博物馆活动助理 )”可知，全文包含岗位概述、职责、任职要求、福利待遇，是典型的招聘启事，目的是发布岗位招聘信息。 B Steve Clark, 45, a musician from Surrey, battled a fear of swimming for most of his life. As a child, he never took to the water. “It always bothered me. I used to look at people swimming on holiday, and think that I was missing out on the enjoyment of it,” he says. One bad experience when he was on a business trip in his twenties set Clark back even further. He decided to take a dip in a hotel pool, thinking that it wouldn’t be that difficult. This led to a panic moment after he lost his footing in the deep end of the pool. “I was extremely scared that I couldn’t swim,” he says. But in 2014 Clark decided to take the plunge — after all, he was “running out of excuses” not to. Helped by the gentle encouragement of his partner, he completed 10 beginners’ lessons. “It was difficult to start with. My main fear was putting my head under the water, but the instructors taught me a technique to help. Once I learnt how to do it, it got me over the fear,” he says. The swimming lessons allowed him to participate in something that always felt impossible. Clark’s story shows that midlife (中年) is as good a time as any to learn. A study in 2018 by Columbia University found that healthy older men and women can generate just as many new brain cells as younger people. “We used to think of getting older as a loss: a time when we lose skills and lose our looks. But so much research has shown that losing your abilities is not unavoidable,” says Linda Blair, a psychologist. She explains that learning skills can help to keep our brains young. “The brain is like a muscle, so when you learn something new, you’re exercising it and getting better blood flow to the brain. You’re also reestablishing connections; you don’t have to lose a skill forever, you can regain it.” 4. What initially bothered Clark according to the passage? A. His panic in a hotel pool. B. His lack of encouragement. C. His failure in a business trip. D. His inability to enjoy swimming. 5. What does the underlined phrase “take the plunge” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Accept the fact. B. Have a go. C. Avoid the risk. D. Realize his dream. 6. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Being old does not necessarily mean losing skills. B. People can easily learn new skills at any stage of life. C. Building up muscles can help blood flow into the brain. D. Seniors can produce as many new brain cells as youths. 7. What does Clark’s experience show? A. No pains, no gains. B. Every dog has its day. C. Practice makes perfect. D. It’s never too old to learn. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】主要说明了45岁音乐人Clark自幼怕水，一次泳池遇险加重恐惧，中年才开始学游泳。文章借其经历说明中年同样适合学习，研究表明年长人群大脑仍可更新，学习能延缓能力衰退。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段““It always bothered me. I used to look at people swimming on holiday, and think that I was missing out on the enjoyment of it,” he says. (“这一直让我感到困扰。我过去总看到人们在度假时游泳，觉得自己的生活似乎错过了这种乐趣。”他说。)”可知，最初让克拉克感到困扰的是他无法享受游泳。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Helped by the gentle encouragement of his partner, he completed 10 beginners’ lessons. (在伴侣的温柔鼓励下，他完成了10节初学者课程。)”可知，2014年他决定下定决心学游泳，故划线词意思是“尝试一下”。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But so much research has shown that losing your abilities is not unavoidable (但大量研究表明，丧失能力并非不可避免)”可知，年龄大并不一定意味着失去技能。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Clark’s story shows that midlife (中年) is as good a time as any to learn. (克拉克的故事表明，中年是学习的最佳时机之一。)”可知，克拉克的经历说明了学习永远不会太晚。 C Soil, often taken for granted, is emerging as a powerful tool in the fight against climate change. A growing number of farmers around Europe are turning to regenerative farming to improve soil health and earn extra income by selling soil carbon credits. Modern farming practices, including continuous heavy ploughing (耕地) and overuse of chemical fertilizers (肥料), have seriously damaged soil structure and released large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. In contrast, regenerative agriculture helps soil absorb and store CO₂, a major greenhouse gas, while also improving soil fertility. Thomas Gent and his family run an 800-hectare (公顷) farm on the border of Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. They stopped ploughing entirely 17 years ago and now grow grass alongside main crops. The improved soil structure allows rainwater to drain (流走) naturally and supports healthier plant growth. “The soil is the foundation of everything we do,” Gent says. “If we look after it, it looks after us.” Companies like AgreenaCarbon specialize in measuring and confirming carbon stored in soil. Farmers receive tradable carbon credits, each representing one ton of CO₂ locked away in the soil. They can earn between £ 200 and £300 per hectare per year by selling these credits, creating a reliable extra income stream that supports their switch to greener farming methods. The soil carbon credit market is still in its early stage but expanding fast across Europe, with more than 16,000 farmers in 16 countries having joined such programmes, covering over 1.6 million hectares of land. Critics warn that the voluntary carbon market risks greenwashing if projects are not strictly monitored and checked. However, supporters believe soil carbon projects bring multiple environmental and economic benefits: better soil health, higher biodiversity, less soil erosion (侵蚀) and measurable climate action. For forward-thinking farmers, adopting regenerative farming and participating in carbon credit programs is not just environmentally responsible — it is also economically rewarding, ensuring the long-term sustainability of their farms. 8. What is the aim of regenerative farming? A. To increase agricultural production. B. To improve soil health. C. To reduce the farming cost. D. To prevent extreme weather. 9. What can be learned about Thomas Gent’s farm? A. It is the largest carbon farm in Europe. B. It depends heavily on chemical fertilizers. C. It has given up traditional ploughing for years. D. It earns most of its income from carbon credits. 10. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3? A. Extra incomes of European farmers. B. Development of soil carbon credit market. C. Popularity of greener farming methods. D. Functions of soil carbon storage companies. 11. What can be inferred about the soil carbon credit market? A. It is strictly monitored globally. B. It disturbs traditional market. C. It mainly serves large enterprises. D. It faces both support and criticism. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了再生农业能修复土壤、固碳减温，欧洲农户可售卖土壤碳信用增收。该市场发展迅速，但存在争议，兼具环境与经济双重效益。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A growing number of farmers around Europe are turning to regenerative farming to improve soil health and earn extra income by selling soil carbon credits. (越来越多的欧洲农民开始采用再生农业，以改善土壤健康，并通过出售土壤碳信用额度来增加收入。)”可知，再生农业的目标是改善土壤健康。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They stopped ploughing entirely 17 years ago and now grow grass alongside main crops. The improved soil structure allows rainwater to drain (流走) naturally and supports healthier plant growth. (17年前，他们完全停止了耕地，现在在主作物旁种植牧草。改良后的土壤结构使雨水能够自然排泄，也促进了植物更健康的生长。)”可知，关于托马斯・金特的农场，我们可以得知它多年前就已放弃传统翻耕。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Companies like AgreenaCarbon specialize in measuring and confirming carbon stored in soil. Farmers receive tradable carbon credits, each representing one ton of CO₂ locked away in the soil. They can earn between £ 200 and £300 per hectare per year by selling these credits, creating a reliable extra income stream that supports their switch to greener farming methods. The soil carbon credit market is still in its early stage but expanding fast across Europe, with more than 16,000 farmers in 16 countries having joined such programmes, covering over 1.6 million hectares of land. (像AgreenaCarbon这样的公司专门负责测量和确认土壤中储存的碳。农民可以获得可交易的碳信用额度，每份信用额度代表一吨被锁定在土壤中的二氧化碳。他们每年每公顷可通过出售这些碳信用额度获得200至300英镑的收入，形成可靠的额外收入来源，从而支持其转向更环保的农业方式。土壤碳信用市场目前仍处于早期阶段，但正在欧洲快速扩展，已有16个国家超过1.6万名农民加入此类项目，覆盖面积超过160万公顷土地。)”可知，第三段先介绍碳信用的运作模式（企业核量、农民获券、出售获利），随后说明该市场尚处初期但扩张迅速，覆盖了多国大量农户与土地，核心围绕土壤碳信用市场的发展展开。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Critics warn that the voluntary carbon market risks greenwashing if projects are not strictly monitored and checked. However, supporters believe soil carbon projects bring multiple environmental and economic benefits: better soil health, higher biodiversity, less soil erosion (侵蚀) and measurable climate action. (批评者警告称，如果项目缺乏严格监督和检查，自愿碳市场可能面临“绿色漂白”风险。然而，支持者认为，土壤碳项目带来了多重环境与经济效益：改善土壤健康、提升生物多样性、减少土壤侵蚀以及实现可量化的气候行动。)”可知，关于土壤碳信用市场，我们可以推断出它同时面临支持与批评。 D Artificial general intelligence (AGI) refers to an information processing tool with high generalization (一般化) capability that approaches or reaches human intelligence. Artificial superintelligence (ASI), by contrast, goes beyond human intelligence in all aspects and is regarded as a life-like being that could develop autonomous awareness, making its thoughts and actions potentially difficult to understand and less controllable. While we hope ASI will be beneficial, the uncertainty of its nature causes concern. ASI cannot be compared to any previous technological tool, as its potential for independent cognition (认知) presents an unprecedented (前所未有的) challenge. If its goals are inconsistent with human values, even minor mistakes could lead to serious consequences. Therefore, safety must be the top priority in its core design. Safety lines should not be lowered over concerns that they may affect model capabilities. Comprehensive assessment is needed to identify potential dangers and strengthen safety. Typical security issues can be dealt with through technical cycles, but the long-term challenge lies in keeping ASI within human expectations. Current approaches adding human values through feedback will likely prove ineffective for superintelligence. Given that ASI may develop self-awareness, the ideal vision is for it to learn right from wrong by itself, instead of just obeying orders. Risks can only be minimized when AI develops from ethical compliance (伦理合规) to possessing genuine morality. Humanity must prevent AI development from becoming an arms race. Creating the first superintelligence might not require international cooperation, but ensuring it is safe for all humanity will require global cooperation. The UN’s 2025 initiatives to establish scientific dialogues on AI governance (管理) deserve further deepening. Nations with advanced AI bear greater responsibility to prevent irresponsible development without rules. China advocates building a community with a shared future in cyberspace and has proposed the Global AI Governance Initiative, emphasizing development and safety. These initiatives deserve global adoption. Finally, it is better to proceed cautiously, building a solid safety foundation, than to pursue quick success that might lead humanity into a dangerous situation. 12. What’s the key difference between AGI and ASI? A. Limits of human thinking ability. B. Methods of information processing. C. Functions of daily intelligent tools. D. Levels of intelligence and self-awareness. 13. What’s the author’s attitude toward the long-term challenges of ASI security? A. Doubtful. B. Approving. C. Negative. D. Concerned. 14. Why does the author mention the UN’s 2025 initiatives? A. To prove the existence of ASI. B. To highlight China’s leading role. C. To stress the need for global AI cooperation. D. To criticize the slow pace of AI governance. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. ASI control: Speed over safety B. ASI development: Better slow than sorry C. Global ASI governance: United or divided D. Future ASI risks: Cooperation over competition 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文区分AGI与ASI，指出超智能存在巨大安全隐患，安全设计需优先，需全球协同治理，主张谨慎发展AI，切勿急于求成。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Artificial general intelligence (AGI) refers to an information processing tool with high generalization (一般化) capability that approaches or reaches human intelligence. Artificial superintelligence (ASI), by contrast, goes beyond human intelligence in all aspects and is regarded as a life-like being that could develop autonomous awareness, making its thoughts and actions potentially difficult to understand and less controllable. While we hope ASI will be beneficial, the uncertainty of its nature causes concern. (人工通用智能（AGI）是指具备高度泛化能力的信息处理工具，其智能水平接近或达到人类智能。相比之下，人工超级智能（ASI）在各方面均超越人类智能，被视为一种类似生命的存在，能够发展出自主意识，其思想和行为可能难以理解且更难控制。尽管我们希望ASI能带来益处，但其本质的不确定性仍令人担忧。)”可知，AGI和ASI之间的关键区别是智力水平和自我意识的程度。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Typical security issues can be dealt with through technical cycles, but the long-term challenge lies in keeping ASI within human expectations. Current approaches adding human values through feedback will likely prove ineffective for superintelligence. Given that ASI may develop self-awareness, the ideal vision is for it to learn right from wrong by itself, instead of just obeying orders. Risks can only be minimized when AI develops from ethical compliance (伦理合规) to possessing genuine morality. (常规安全问题可通过技术迭代解决，但长期难题在于让超级人工智能始终符合人类预期。目前依靠反馈植入人类价值观的手段，对超级智能大概率收效甚微。鉴于超级人工智能可能产生自我意识，理想状态是它能自主分辨是非，而非单纯服从指令。只有当人工智能从被动遵守伦理规范升华为拥有真正的道德观念，各类风险才能降到最低。)”可知，作者对人工智能安全的长期挑战持担心态度。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Creating the first superintelligence might not require international cooperation, but ensuring it is safe for all humanity will require global cooperation. The UN’s 2025 initiatives to establish scientific dialogues on AI governance (管理) deserve further deepening. Nations with advanced AI bear greater responsibility to prevent irresponsible development without rules. (创造第一个超级智能可能不需要国际合作，但确保其对全人类安全，则需要全球合作。联合国2025年关于建立人工智能治理科学对话的倡议，值得进一步深化。拥有先进人工智能的国家更有责任防止在缺乏规则的情况下进行不负责任的发展。)”可知，作者提到联合国的2025年倡议是为了强调全球人工智能合作的必要性。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“While we hope ASI will be beneficial, the uncertainty of its nature causes concern. (尽管我们希望ASI会带来益处，但其性质的不确定性令人担忧。)”结合本文区分AGI与ASI，指出超智能存在巨大安全隐患，安全设计需优先，需全球协同治理，主张谨慎发展AI，切勿急于求成。可知，B选项“ASI发展：宁可慢些，也不该后悔”最符合文章标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Since early 2025, when DeepSeek shocked global capital markets, I have felt a growing sense of unease as a journalist. AI has made my work easier and sharply boosted my writing efficiency. But that has also given me more time to think: ____16____ My answer is this: I am able to experience the world firsthand with my eyes and ears. ____17____ It cannot walk into a disaster zone, smell what lingers (逗留) in the air, or hear what silence says. In July, days of heavy rain led to destructive floods. I stepped into the homes of those affected where I felt the unpleasant smell trapped inside a closed home after two full days underwater. ____18____ He, with faint optimism, told me, “If the home is damaged, we rebuild it. Life has to go on.” I have begun to share more stories of those whose lives are often ignored. ____19____ But I hope when we look back one day, we can still remember what happened, who was swept into the waves, and how easily their fate was turned like a page. I once heard a widely shared sentence: When you look back at your old social media posts and find them foolish, it means you have grown. ____20____ In a future being reshaped by AI, what we may need most is to remove the digital masks, and return to a self that is real, even clumsy (笨拙的) at times so that we can become the more clear-eyed versions of ourselves. A. Will AI replace me? B. What can I still do that AI cannot? C. I came across a retired serviceman in his 60s. D. AI will never have that kind of “foolish moment”. E. Perhaps they will rarely become hot topics online. F. For all its capabilities, AI lacks physical presence. G. AI does have its own version of “foolish moments”. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. C 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了作者因 AI 高效写作心生危机感，思考自身不可替代性。他指出 AI 缺乏实地真实体验，并以洪灾采访为例，强调人类真实、有温度的记录与成长是 AI无法替代的。 【16题详解】 前文“AI has made my work easier and sharply boosted my writing efficiency. But that has also given me more time to think:( 人工智能让我的工作变得更加轻松，显著提升了写作效率。但这也让我有更多时间去思考：)”提到AI 提升了写作效率，作者也因此开始思考；后文“My answer is this: I am able to experience the world firsthand with my eyes and ears.( 我的回答是：我能用眼睛和耳朵亲身体验世界。)”直接给出答案“我能用双眼和双耳亲身感受世界”，可知空格处是提出“我能做到而AI做不到的事是什么”这一问题，B 项“What can I still do that AI cannot?( 有什么是我能做而AI不能做的？ )”符合此推断，与后文回答形成呼应。 【17题详解】 后文“It cannot walk into a disaster zone, smell what lingers (逗留) in the air, or hear what silence says.( 它无法走进灾区，闻到空气中残留的气味，或听到寂静所传达的信息。)”连续列举 AI 无法完成的事：走进灾区、闻到气味、感知寂静，都是“缺乏实体感知能力”的具体表现。F 项“For all its capabilities, AI lacks physical presence.( 尽管具备诸多能力，但人工智能缺乏实体存在感。)”总起说明“尽管 AI 功能强大，却缺少实体在场的体验”，引出后文的具体阐述。 【18题详解】 后文“He, with faint optimism, told me, “If the home is damaged, we rebuild it. Life has to go on.”(他带着淡淡的乐观对我说：“如果房子受损，我们会重建它。生活必须继续。”)”出现人称代词 He，并引用了他的发言，说明空格处应首次引入一位人物。C项“I came across a retired serviceman in his 60s.( 我遇到了一位六十多岁的退伍军人。)”符合语境，自然引出后文人物的话语。 【19题详解】 前文“I have begun to share more stories of those whose lives are often ignored.( 我开始分享更多那些常常被忽视人群的故事。)”说作者开始分享常被忽视的普通人的故事，后文“But I hope when we look back one day, we can still remember what happened, who was swept into the waves, and how easily their fate was turned like a page.( 但我希望有一天回首往事时，我们仍能记得发生过什么，是谁被卷入洪流，以及他们的命运是如何轻易地像一张纸一样被翻转。)”以 But 转折，表达“希望人们能记住这些人和事”的愿望。E 项“Perhaps they will rarely become hot topics online.( 也许这些故事很少会成为网络热点。)”与后文形成转折逻辑，契合文意。 【20题详解】 前文“I once heard a widely shared sentence: When you look back at your old social media posts and find them foolish, it means you have grown.( 我曾听过一句广为流传的话：当你回看旧社交媒体帖子，发现它们显得愚蠢，那意味着你已经成长了。)”提出观点：人会觉得过去的自己“很傻”，这是成长的体现；后文“In a future being reshaped by AI, what we may need most is to remove the digital masks, and return to a self that is real, even clumsy (笨拙的) at times so that we can become the more clear-eyed versions of ourselves.( 在人工智能重塑未来的今天，我们最需要的或许是摘下数字面具，回归真实自我，哪怕有时笨拙，以便成为更加清醒、更真实的自己。)”升华主旨，提出 AI 时代我们更需要真实、哪怕笨拙的自我。D 项“AI will never have that kind of “foolish moment”.( AI 永远不会有这样的‘愚蠢时刻’)” 承接上文的“foolish”，同时为后文强调“真实自我的价值”做铺垫。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 This happened almost a year ago, but I think about it frequently. I was working in Minnesota when my mother ____21____ the heart transplant call. Though I offered to return home immediately, my family ____22____ I wouldn’t arrive in time.

After staying the night in Oklahoma, I got up at 3:30 am the next day to try and rush to the hospital. I was worn out and ____25____ at the first open Starbucks. There was only one car in front of me and no one behind me so the person wasn’t trying to start a “pay it forward” line or anything. When I ____26____, the barista (咖啡师) let me know the person in front of me ____27____ for my coffee. I burst into tears. It was crazy — buying that coffee had nothing to do with the ____28____ of my mother’s surgery. But I really thought I was driving back to plan a funeral. When someone bought me that coffee I took that kind gesture as a ____29____ that things were going to be OK. While it was a long long stay in the hospital and a long road to recovery, my mother ____30____. But it changed my entire outlook and gave me ____31____ to make the rest of my trip ____32____. They’ll never know what that cup of coffee ____33____ to me that day. And how much I leaned on those small acts during that time when any small positive thing that happened was a ____34____ win.

I was the daughter of a struggling family, and running was my escape from the burden of never having enough money. Running was cheap — just a pair of worn-out shoes and the open road. More importantly, it took me to places I wouldn’t have gone otherwise, both physically and mentally. Then, at the beginning of my senior year, I was in a terrible car accident. Before I knew it, I ended up in a hospital bed with a shattered (粉碎性骨折) backbone. The accident ruined my dreams of running competitively and earning a track scholarship. But life moved on, as it always does. My body slowly healed. I finished high school, worked my way through college, got married, and started a family. As a mother of five, my life moved from the open trail into the kitchen. The quiet roads I once ran were replaced by piles of laundry (待洗的衣服), crying babies, and the constant noise of a full house. The demands can be overwhelming. My house was always full of unfinished tasks. There was always a floor to clean, an argument to settle, or a missing toy to find. I loved my family deeply, but I didn’t love getting hit in the head with a phone by my baby. I loved my boys, but I was tired of piles of smelly socks. I didn’t mind doing housework, but it really annoyed me when I found toothpaste (牙膏) on the bathroom mirror and sticky spots on the clean kitchen floor. Whenever I tried to slip out for a run, my youngest would get upset if he saw me leaving without him. However, my anxiety kept bothering me. One evening, after another exhausting day, I sat on the edge of the bed and tried to imagine how my younger self would see me. That girl who ran to escape a broken home wouldn’t recognize this woman too busy to breathe. She would wonder where the fire had gone. That thought stayed with me the whole night. The next morning, I tied my shoes and slipped out the door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I returned home, everything was right with the world. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next morning, I tied my shoes and slipped out the door. The cool morning wind brushed my cheeks as I stepped onto the quiet street. At first, my legs felt stiff and heavy from years of little exercise. But as I kept moving, the familiar rhythm of running slowly came back. All the housework troubles, noisy kids and endless daily worries faded away little by little. I breathed the fresh air deeply, feeling the long-lost peace return to my heart. For a moment, I was just the teenage girl running freely on the road again, free from all burdens. When I returned home, everything was right with the world. My children greeted me warmly instead of throwing tantrums. I no longer felt annoyed at the messy house or sticky floors. That short run didn’t solve any housework, but it calmed my anxious mind and reignited the fire inside me. Now I keep this small running habit. It is still my best escape, helping me balance motherhood and myself, and face busy family life with gentleness and energy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索。讲述了作者年少时热爱跑步，以此逃离生活困境，却因车祸断送长跑梦想。婚后身为五个孩子的母亲，繁杂家事令她倍感焦虑、迷失自我。最终她重拾晨跑习惯，治愈内心烦躁，找回自我，从容应对忙碌的家庭生活。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写作者重拾晨跑习惯，治愈内心烦躁。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写作者通过晨跑找回自我，从容应对忙碌的家庭生活。 2.续写线索：悄悄走出家门→重拾晨跑习惯→摆脱了所有的负担→通过晨跑找回自我→从容应对忙碌的家庭生活 3.词汇激活 行为类 摆脱：free from/get rid of 解决：solve/tackle 重新点燃：reignite/rekindle 情绪类 热情地：warmly/fervidly 恼怒的：annoyed/irritated 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Steve Clark, 45, a musician from Surrey, battled a fear of swimming for most of his life. As a child, he never took to the water. “It always bothered me. I used to look at people swimming on holiday, and think that I was missing out on the enjoyment of it,” he says. One bad experience when he was on a business trip in his twenties set Clark back even further. He decided to take a dip in a hotel pool, thinking that it wouldn’t be that difficult. This led to a panic moment after he lost his footing in the deep end of the pool. “I was extremely scared that I couldn’t swim,” he says. But in 2014 Clark decided to take the plunge — after all, he was “running out of excuses” not to. Helped by the gentle encouragement of his partner, he completed 10 beginners’ lessons. “It was difficult to start with. My main fear was putting my head under the water, but the instructors taught me a technique to help. Once I learnt how to do it, it got me over the fear,” he says. The swimming lessons allowed him to participate in something that always felt impossible. Clark’s story shows that midlife (中年) is as good a time as any to learn. A study in 2018 by Columbia University found that healthy older men and women can generate just as many new brain cells as younger people. “We used to think of getting older as a loss: a time when we lose skills and lose our looks. But so much research has shown that losing your abilities is not unavoidable,” says Linda Blair, a psychologist. She explains that learning skills can help to keep our brains young. “The brain is like a muscle, so when you learn something new, you’re exercising it and getting better blood flow to the brain. You’re also reestablishing connections; you don’t have to lose a skill forever, you can regain it.” 4. What initially bothered Clark according to the passage? A. His panic in a hotel pool. B. His lack of encouragement. C. His failure in a business trip. D. His inability to enjoy swimming. 5. What does the underlined phrase “take the plunge” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Accept the fact. B. Have a go. C. Avoid the risk. D. Realize his dream. 6. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Being old does not necessarily mean losing skills. B. People can easily learn new skills at any stage of life. C. Building up muscles can help blood flow into the brain. D. Seniors can produce as many new brain cells as youths. 7. What does Clark’s experience show? A. No pains, no gains. B. Every dog has its day. C. Practice makes perfect. D. It’s never too old to learn. C Soil, often taken for granted, is emerging as a powerful tool in the fight against climate change. A growing number of farmers around Europe are turning to regenerative farming to improve soil health and earn extra income by selling soil carbon credits. Modern farming practices, including continuous heavy ploughing (耕地) and overuse of chemical fertilizers (肥料), have seriously damaged soil structure and released large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. In contrast, regenerative agriculture helps soil absorb and store CO₂, a major greenhouse gas, while also improving soil fertility. Thomas Gent and his family run an 800-hectare (公顷) farm on the border of Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. They stopped ploughing entirely 17 years ago and now grow grass alongside main crops. The improved soil structure allows rainwater to drain (流走) naturally and supports healthier plant growth. “The soil is the foundation of everything we do,” Gent says. “If we look after it, it looks after us.” Companies like AgreenaCarbon specialize in measuring and confirming carbon stored in soil. Farmers receive tradable carbon credits, each representing one ton of CO₂ locked away in the soil. They can earn between £ 200 and £300 per hectare per year by selling these credits, creating a reliable extra income stream that supports their switch to greener farming methods. The soil carbon credit market is still in its early stage but expanding fast across Europe, with more than 16,000 farmers in 16 countries having joined such programmes, covering over 1.6 million hectares of land. Critics warn that the voluntary carbon market risks greenwashing if projects are not strictly monitored and checked. However, supporters believe soil carbon projects bring multiple environmental and economic benefits: better soil health, higher biodiversity, less soil erosion (侵蚀) and measurable climate action. For forward-thinking farmers, adopting regenerative farming and participating in carbon credit programs is not just environmentally responsible — it is also economically rewarding, ensuring the long-term sustainability of their farms. 8. What is the aim of regenerative farming? A. To increase agricultural production. B. To improve soil health. C. To reduce the farming cost. D. To prevent extreme weather. 9. What can be learned about Thomas Gent’s farm? A. It is the largest carbon farm in Europe. B. It depends heavily on chemical fertilizers. C. It has given up traditional ploughing for years. D. It earns most of its income from carbon credits. 10. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3? A. Extra incomes of European farmers. B. Development of soil carbon credit market. C. Popularity of greener farming methods. D. Functions of soil carbon storage companies. 11. What can be inferred about the soil carbon credit market? A. It is strictly monitored globally. B. It disturbs traditional market. C. It mainly serves large enterprises. D. It faces both support and criticism. D Artificial general intelligence (AGI) refers to an information processing tool with high generalization (一般化) capability that approaches or reaches human intelligence. Artificial superintelligence (ASI), by contrast, goes beyond human intelligence in all aspects and is regarded as a life-like being that could develop autonomous awareness, making its thoughts and actions potentially difficult to understand and less controllable. While we hope ASI will be beneficial, the uncertainty of its nature causes concern. ASI cannot be compared to any previous technological tool, as its potential for independent cognition (认知) presents an unprecedented (前所未有的) challenge. If its goals are inconsistent with human values, even minor mistakes could lead to serious consequences. Therefore, safety must be the top priority in its core design. Safety lines should not be lowered over concerns that they may affect model capabilities. Comprehensive assessment is needed to identify potential dangers and strengthen safety. Typical security issues can be dealt with through technical cycles, but the long-term challenge lies in keeping ASI within human expectations. Current approaches adding human values through feedback will likely prove ineffective for superintelligence. Given that ASI may develop self-awareness, the ideal vision is for it to learn right from wrong by itself, instead of just obeying orders. Risks can only be minimized when AI develops from ethical compliance (伦理合规) to possessing genuine morality. Humanity must prevent AI development from becoming an arms race. Creating the first superintelligence might not require international cooperation, but ensuring it is safe for all humanity will require global cooperation. The UN’s 2025 initiatives to establish scientific dialogues on AI governance (管理) deserve further deepening. Nations with advanced AI bear greater responsibility to prevent irresponsible development without rules. China advocates building a community with a shared future in cyberspace and has proposed the Global AI Governance Initiative, emphasizing development and safety. These initiatives deserve global adoption. Finally, it is better to proceed cautiously, building a solid safety foundation, than to pursue quick success that might lead humanity into a dangerous situation. 12. What’s the key difference between AGI and ASI? A. Limits of human thinking ability. B. Methods of information processing. C. Functions of daily intelligent tools. D. Levels of intelligence and self-awareness. 13. What’s the author’s attitude toward the long-term challenges of ASI security? A. Doubtful. B. Approving. C. Negative. D. Concerned. 14. Why does the author mention the UN’s 2025 initiatives? A. To prove the existence of ASI. B. To highlight China’s leading role. C. To stress the need for global AI cooperation. D. To criticize the slow pace of AI governance. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. ASI control: Speed over safety B. ASI development: Better slow than sorry C. Global ASI governance: United or divided D. Future ASI risks: Cooperation over competition 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Since early 2025, when DeepSeek shocked global capital markets, I have felt a growing sense of unease as a journalist. AI has made my work easier and sharply boosted my writing efficiency. But that has also given me more time to think: ____16____ My answer is this: I am able to experience the world firsthand with my eyes and ears. ____17____ It cannot walk into a disaster zone, smell what lingers (逗留) in the air, or hear what silence says. In July, days of heavy rain led to destructive floods.

I was the daughter of a struggling family, and running was my escape from the burden of never having enough money. Running was cheap — just a pair of worn-out shoes and the open road. More importantly, it took me to places I wouldn’t have gone otherwise, both physically and mentally. Then, at the beginning of my senior year, I was in a terrible car accident. Before I knew it, I ended up in a hospital bed with a shattered (粉碎性骨折) backbone. The accident ruined my dreams of running competitively and earning a track scholarship. But life moved on, as it always does. My body slowly healed. I finished high school, worked my way through college, got married, and started a family. As a mother of five, my life moved from the open trail into the kitchen. The quiet roads I once ran were replaced by piles of laundry (待洗的衣服), crying babies, and the constant noise of a full house. The demands can be overwhelming. My house was always full of unfinished tasks. There was always a floor to clean, an argument to settle, or a missing toy to find. I loved my family deeply, but I didn’t love getting hit in the head with a phone by my baby. I loved my boys, but I was tired of piles of smelly socks. I didn’t mind doing housework, but it really annoyed me when I found toothpaste (牙膏) on the bathroom mirror and sticky spots on the clean kitchen floor. Whenever I tried to slip out for a run, my youngest would get upset if he saw me leaving without him. However, my anxiety kept bothering me. One evening, after another exhausting day, I sat on the edge of the bed and tried to imagine how my younger self would see me. That girl who ran to escape a broken home wouldn’t recognize this woman too busy to breathe. She would wonder where the fire had gone. That thought stayed with me the whole night. The next morning, I tied my shoes and slipped out the door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I returned home, everything was right with the world. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
