With a schoolbag on my back and a carefully packed lunch, I found myself wondering whether I would stand out for all the wrong reasons. Beneath the nervous excitement, however, was a deeper concern: Never will my guard be down for the future! Across the UK, this feeling is becoming commonplace. More and more adults are returning to education, in search of stable, meaningful or simply sustainable work. Rapid changes in technology, combined with economic uncertainty, have made many career paths less reliable than they once were. The game is not in the bag for many. After two decades spent working towards seniority in the creative industries, it was kind of discouraging to find myself applying for roles far below my experience and pay grade. Leadership jobs in media were thin on the ground, and after five years freelancing (自由职业), I struggled to get back in. So I parked my ego and sent my CV out for retail and admin roles — the sort of jobs I had last done in my early twenties. Gradually and clearly, short-term fixes were not enough. Rather than continuing to chase shrinking opportunities, I decided to retrain in psychotherapy. This choice was not an escape, but a watershed: a practical step towards a profession that values human connection and long-term purpose. Looking back, returning to university has reshaped how I see both work and success. Studying again has restored a sense of direction that is not decided only by the market. It has taught me that starting over does not mean failure, but adjustment. 4. How did the author feel about his own state in the beginning? A. A sense of youthful anticipation. B. A feeling of profound insecurity. C. An eagerness for academic challenges. D. A desire for new knowledge. 5. Why did the author apply for retail and admin roles? A. To accept reality more humbly. B. To return to jobs of his youth. C. To regain lost professional dignity. D. To pursue a new personal interest. 6. What does the underlined word “watershed” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Turning point. B. Difficult choice. C. Temporary relief. D. Final goal. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. All roads lead to Rome. C. It is never too late to learn. D. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者42岁中年求职碰壁后，放下身段重返大学接受再培训，开启新职业道路的个人经历，分享了作者对工作与成功的感悟。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“With a schoolbag on my back and a carefully packed lunch, I found myself wondering whether I would stand out for all the wrong reasons. Beneath the nervous excitement, however, was a deeper concern: Never will my guard be down for the future!(背着书包，带着精心准备的午餐，我不禁开始担心自己是否会因为一些不恰当的原因而显得与众不同。然而，在紧张兴奋的背后，还隐藏着更深层的忧虑：我今后绝不会再放松警惕！)” 可知，作者有些担心，紧张兴奋的背后隐藏着更深层的忧虑，因此，作者刚开始内心存在深深的不安。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“Leadership jobs in media were thin on the ground, and after five years freelancing, I struggled to get back in. So I parked my ego and sent my CV out for retail and admin roles…(媒体领域的领导岗位十分稀缺，而经过五年自由职业的经历后，我很难重新进入这一领域。于是，我放下自尊，投递了简历，申请零售和行政类职位……)”可知，作者认清现实，自己很难重新进入想从事的职业，于是放下骄傲、谦卑接受现实而申请零售和行政岗位。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据前文语境“Rather than continuing to chase shrinking opportunities, I decided to retrain in psychotherapy. This choice was not an escape…(与其继续追逐日益缩减的就业机会，我决定重新进修，学习心理治疗相关专业。这个选择并非逃避现实……)”并结合后文“a practical step towards a profession that values human connection and long-term purpose(迈向一个重视人际关系与长远目标的职业的切实一步)”可知，“决定重新进修，新学习心理治疗专业”在作者看来，这个选择改变了作者此前的发展方向，是人生的转折点，因此可推知“watershed”意为“转折点”。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。作者在末尾段讲述了“重返大学”经历的感悟，因此，结合末尾段内容“Looking back, returning to university has reshaped how I see both work and success. Studying again has restored a sense of direction that is not decided only by the market. It has taught me that starting over does not mean failure, but adjustment.(回首往事，重返大学彻底改变了我看待工作与成功的方式。再次求学让我重新找到了人生方向，这份方向不再单纯由市场行情左右。这段经历让我明白，重新出发并非失败，而是一次自我调整。)”可知，作者表达了即便年纪偏大，依然可以重返校园、学习新专业、重启人生，由此推知，可推知作者的经历说明了“学习永远不晚”的道理。 C Mika Sipponen, a materials chemist from a European University, went for a swim in a lake. Afterwards, he noticed his hair felt smooth without any hair product. The brownish water was rich in plant matter, leading him to wonder if lignin, which is found in wood — could help condition hair. His team mixed lignin with coconut oil, and it worked. Experiments showed that the mixture smoothed hair and reduced the force that it took to drag a comb through it. Since lignin can be sourced from wood waste, hair products made from it would be more environmentally friendly than those made with standard petrochemical-based ingredients. Their research is just one recent example of efforts to “green” hair care products, many of which have ingredients from non-renewable petrochemicals or that don’t degrade in the environment. A growing number of consumers want products that have a smaller environmental footprint and are made from ingredients they perceive as being milder on the body. “Consumer awareness and pressure have made a real impact on the hair care market,” says Alexa Friedman, an epidemiologist from an environmental research organization. Effective hair care relies on surface chemistry. Healthy hair has a thin oily layer, while damaged hair has rough scales. Many conditioners use positively charged polymers to stick to damaged hair, but these often come from non-renewable petrochemicals and may build up in the environment. Lignin offers a natural alternative. Scientists have modified lignin to make it positively charged and water-soluble. The approach doesn’t entirely avoid petrochemicals, which are the source of the chemical modifier for lignin, but it’s a good step. Still, Friedman cautions that it’s hard to know how green a product is because there is little accountability for claims. And even bio-based materials from renewable sources may still harm the environment. Yet even though consumers seek greener alternatives, the most important criterion for them is still whether a product works. “The first thing is performance,” Mika Sipponen says. “That’s what people look for.” Scientists, in those dirty ponds, and forests, are looking too. 8. What did Sipponen’s team find in their experiments? A. Lignin can be used to create eco-friendly hair products. B. Lignin from wood waste is beneficial to the environment. C. Lignin mixed with coconut oil can smooth people’s hair. D. The mixture of lignin and oil fails to increase combing friction. 9. Why do scientists look for alternative hair care products? A. Bio-based materials are more affordable to produce. B. Conventional ingredients may damage the environment. C. Traditional products are less effective in smoothing hair. D. Consumers are dissatisfied with current product performance. 10. What is Friedman’s attitude towards the green trend in the hair care market? A. Highly critical. B. Completely approving. C. Totally indifferent. D. Cautiously optimistic. 11. What can we infer regarding the future hair products from the last paragraph? A. They will be strictly regulated by environmental standards. B. They will soon completely replace petrochemical-based ones. C. They balance environmental benefits with product performance. D. They are less likely to be accepted by the majority of consumers. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍科研人员研发木质素护发产品，阐述护发产品绿色化的趋势、优势及现存局限与消费者需求。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“His team mixed lignin with coconut oil, and it worked. Experiments showed that the mixture smoothed hair and reduced the force that it took to drag a comb through it.(他的团队将木质素与椰子油混合，实验成功了。实验表明，该混合物可以抚平头发，并降低梳头所需的力度)”可知，木质素混合椰子油能够抚平人们的头发。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Their research is just one recent example of efforts to “green” hair care products, many of which have ingredients from non-renewable petrochemicals or that don’t degrade in the environment.(他们的研究只是近期护发产品绿色化尝试的案例之一，许多传统护发产品含有不可再生石化成分或无法在环境中降解的成分)”可知，科学家寻找替代护发产品是因为传统原料可能会破坏环境。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Consumer awareness and pressure have made a real impact on the hair care market(消费者的意识和压力已经对护发市场产生了切实影响)”以及第五段“Still, Friedman cautions that it’s hard to know how green a product is because there is little accountability for claims. And even bio-based materials from renewable sources may still harm the environment.(不过，弗里德曼提醒，很难界定一款产品的绿色程度，因为相关宣传几乎没有追责机制。即便是可再生的生物基材料也仍可能危害环境)”可知，弗里德曼认可绿色护发产品趋势，但同时保持谨慎，态度为谨慎乐观。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Yet even though consumers seek greener alternatives, the most important criterion for them is still whether a product works. “The first thing is performance,” Mika Sipponen says. “That’s what people look for.”(尽管消费者追求更环保的选择，但他们最看重的仍是产品是否实用。“首要的是性能，”米卡·西波宁说，“这是人们所关注的。”)”可推知，未来护发产品会兼顾环保效益与产品使用性能。 D Since late 2022, more netizens have started using large language models, a popular type of AI tool, which have skyrocketed, to access knowledge. It is no brainer that their appeal is obvious: Ask a question, get a polished synthesis (合成品), and move on — it feels like effortless learning. New research, in contrast, indicates this ease may have a cost. Just as a leading figure in the field of large language models uttered, no revolution comes without a price. A series of studies revealed that people using such AI tools to research a topic develop shallower knowledge compared to those using a standard web search engine. In the experiments, participants were asked to learn about something and were randomly assigned to do so by using either an LLM or the “old-fashioned way”. Afterwards, they were asked to write advice to a friend on the topic based on what they learned. The data revealed a consistent pattern: People who learned about a topic through an LLM versus web search felt that they learned less, invested less effort in writing their advice, which ultimately was shorter and less factual. Some independent readers who did not know how it was produced, when rating this advice, found it to be less informative and less helpful, and consequently they were less likely to adopt it. Why so? There is an old saying that goes, it is hard to read the label when you are inside the jar. Few know why this happens. A core principle of learning is that people learn best when they are actively engaged. With a common web search, you must evaluate search results, click links, and synthesize information from different sources. This active process strengthens understanding. Getting a ready-made synthesis from an AI, on the other hand, requires less cognitive struggle, which can lead to a more superficial grasp of the topic. However, to be clear, we do not believe the solution to these issues is to avoid using LLMs, especially given the undeniable benefits they offer in many contexts. Rather, our message is that people simply need to become smarter or more strategic users of LLMs. 12. Why are AI tools considered attractive for learning according to paragraph 1? A. Their constant technical updates. B. Their perceived efficiency and ease. C. Their guarantee of deeper understanding. D. Their access to a large amount of information. 13. What feature did LLM-generated advice share in the studies? A. It was longer and more comprehensive. B. It contained more guesses or predictions. C. It lacked factual support and enough details. D. It was rated favorably for its innovative approach. 14. Why does the author mention “it is hard to read the label when you are inside the jar”? A. To explain why people prefer using AI tools. B. To illustrate that users are unaware of the learning cost. C. To show that AI tools are hard to evaluate. D. To emphasize the complexity of language models. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Rise of AI Assistants. B. The Value of Active Learning. C. The Wise Use of AI Assistants. D. The Cost of AI learning. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了大语言模型因学习便捷广受网民喜爱，但研究发现依靠它学习会造成知识理解浅薄，根源是缺少主动思考，文章指出使用 AI 学习存在隐性代价。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It is no brainer that their appeal is obvious: Ask a question, get a polished synthesis (合成品), and move on — it feels like effortless learning.(它们的吸引力显而易见，这毫不费力：提出一个问题，得到一个精心提炼的总结，然后继续前行——感觉就像轻松学习一样)”可知，人工智能工具被认为在学习中具有吸引力是因为它们被认为效率高且使用方便。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“People who learned about a topic through an LLM versus web search felt that they learned less, invested less effort in writing their advice, which ultimately was shorter and less factual. Some independent readers who did not know how it was produced, when rating this advice, found it to be less informative and less helpful, and consequently they were less likely to adopt it.(通过LLM（大语言模型）而非网络搜索了解某个主题的人，感觉学习到的内容更少，撰写建议时投入的精力也更少，最终得出的建议更简短且缺乏事实依据。一些独立读者在不了解其生成过程的情况下对这些建议进行评分时，认为它们信息量不足、帮助性差，因此更不愿意采纳这些建议)”可知，在研究中，LLM生成的建议缺乏事实依据和足够的细节。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Why so? There is an old saying that goes, it is hard to read the label when you are inside the jar. Few know why this happens.(为什么呢？有句老话常说，当你身处罐子内部时，很难看清标签。很少有人知道为什么会这样)”可知，前文说明便捷AI学习存在代价，但很少人知晓缘由，该俗语用来表明使用者意识不到使用AI带来的学习损耗。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“However, to be clear, we do not believe the solution to these issues is to avoid using LLMs, especially given the undeniable benefits they offer in many contexts. Rather, our message is that people simply need to become smarter or more strategic users of LLMs.(然而，需要明确的是，我们并不认为解决这些问题的途径是避免使用大语言模型（LLM），尤其是在许多情况下它们所带来的明显优势不容忽视。相反，我们的观点是：人们只需更聪明、更善于运用大语言模型)”结合文章主要说明了大语言模型因学习便捷广受网民喜爱，但研究发现依靠它学习会造成知识理解浅薄，根源是缺少主动思考，文章指出使用 AI 学习存在隐性代价。可知，C选项“明智使用AI辅助工具”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） 阅读下列短文，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。 Schools across the country have invested billions of dollars in tablets, laptops, and high-speed internet with the expectation that more technology means better learning. ____16____ A large body of evidence demonstrates that the issue is complicated, with more downsides than most people anticipate. Take, for example, an international study conducted by a global educational research organization. In it, researchers examined standardized testing data from 15-year-olds across dozens of countries. They found students using technology the most tended to perform worse than those using it moderately. A separate analysis revealed that the more hours American students spent daily on computers doing English language arts, the lower their reading scores. ____17____ Another research found that higher levels of screen time at ages two and three were significantly associated with poorer performance on developmental screening tests at ages 3 and 5. But researchers say the evidence demonstrates that technology can also be used to promote learning. For example, a well-known educational research project found that using computers for research is associated with higher reading scores. ____18____ How technology is used also matters. ____19____ Instead of just putting devices in students’ hands, these nations used technology to support teacher collaboration, professional development, and lesson-sharing, which saw better outcomes than those that focused primarily on student-facing devices. ____20____ To effectively support student learning, the research shows that moderate levels of technology use that support broader educational goals work best. A. But what does the research show? B. And the reality is far from satisfying. C. The same holds true for younger children, too. D. Using technology in educational settings is complex. E. Researchers found students performed worse without electronic devices. F. And other researchers found some literacy and math apps do support learning. G. A global educational research group found some nations with top-performing students used technology differently. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. F 19. G 20.

Growing up in an athletic family, she couldn’t imagine life without the sport. Her journey to college soccer, however, wasn’t easy. Because she attended a high school with a weak soccer program, she never received many offers. She recalled corresponding with the New York University coach until she was ignored. “Senior fall was the one time I was struggling a lot,” she said. By that point, she had received only rejections and began to accept that she wouldn’t play college soccer. But her father, her biggest cheerleader, insisted she try out for one more school. He enrolled her in soccer camps to get her name out in the world. That last attempt turned fruitful when she was offered a spot on the Rochester roster. “I do believe everything happens for a reason,” she reflected. When Santangelo arrived in Rochester, the reality of college soccer set in immediately. Within her first season, the coaches moved her from her familiar midfield role to striker. The shift forced her to adapt quickly, but it also tested her confidence. “I pushed myself a little too far sometimes,” she admitted. “I forgot why I was doing what I was doing.” For the first time, soccer wasn’t just an outlet — it was a test of confidence, patience, and identity. Despite the pressure, Santangelo did well. She lived for the excitement, not the worry. To calm her pregame nervousness, she focused on her own potential performance rather than the other team. But one incident during her college career shook her deeply. During a match, her teammate Eileen fell to the ground after a serious injury. “The stands went silent, and she was just screaming,” Santangelo recalled. “I thought she broke every bone in her body.” The team stood frozen. Fear hung in the air. 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。 Then, through the silence, one voice spoke. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later that season, Santangelo stepped into another new role — guiding the incoming freshman strikers. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Then, through the silence, one voice spoke. It was Santangelo. She rushed over and knelt beside Eileen, softly talking to calm her down. She held her teammate’s hand tightly and told Eileen help was on the way. Her calmness pulled the whole team out of panic, and others soon helped clear the path for doctors. Watching medical staff carry Eileen off the field, Santangelo realized soccer was never only about winning games. It was about supporting teammates through pain and fear. Instead of being trapped in panic, players should stand by each other. Later that season, Santangelo stepped into another new role — guiding the incoming freshman strikers. She shared her own experience of adapting to the new position and dealing with pressure, and encouraged the freshmen when they felt frustrated. She told young players not to lose themselves under pressure and reminded them teammates were their strongest support. Just as her father once supported her, she passed on warmth and courage. Santangelo finally found the true meaning of soccer: hard work, self-growth, and lifelong friendship with teammates. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了主人公Natalie Santangelo从小热爱足球，但高中球队水平差，申请大学足球队屡屡被拒。在父亲鼓励下，她参加足球训练营做最后尝试，她成功进入了罗切斯特大学的足球队。然而进入大学后，教练把她从中场调到陌生的前锋位置，巨大压力一度让她迷失踢球初心。但她学会调整心态、缓解赛前紧张并打出不错成绩。一场比赛中队友重伤，全场恐慌，是她主动上前安抚队友。后来她以自身转型经历指导新生前锋，传递勇气与温暖，读懂了足球真正的意义。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写全场陷入死寂时Natalie主动上前安抚受伤队友Eileen，平复全队慌乱，并领悟足球不只是输赢，更是队友间相互扶持。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写 Natalie 以自身改打前锋、对抗压力的亲身经历开导新生，传递父亲给予她的鼓励，最终读懂足球真正的内涵。 2. 续写线索：赛场慌乱 —— Natalie上前安抚队友 —— 全队恢复冷静，救助伤员 —— 内心顿悟足球真谛 —— 担任新人导师 —— 分享经历开导新生——传递温暖与力量 —— 收获人生感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①分担、扶持：stand by/support/back up ②处理、应对：deal with/cope with/tackle 情绪类 ①恐慌：panic/scare ②沮丧：frustrated /upset/discouraged 【点睛】[高分句型1] She held her teammate’s hand tightly and told Eileen help was on the way.（运用了省略引导词that的宾语从句，作动词“told”的宾语） [高分句型2]Watching medical staff carry Eileen off the field, Santangelo realized soccer was never only about winning games.（现在分词作状语，且“soccer was never only about winning games”为省略引导词that的宾语从句，作动词“realized”的宾语） [高分句型3]Just as her father once supported her, she passed on warmth and courage.（由“Just as”引导方式状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共 5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分） 听下面 5 段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

With a schoolbag on my back and a carefully packed lunch, I found myself wondering whether I would stand out for all the wrong reasons. Beneath the nervous excitement, however, was a deeper concern: Never will my guard be down for the future! Across the UK, this feeling is becoming commonplace. More and more adults are returning to education, in search of stable, meaningful or simply sustainable work. Rapid changes in technology, combined with economic uncertainty, have made many career paths less reliable than they once were. The game is not in the bag for many. After two decades spent working towards seniority in the creative industries, it was kind of discouraging to find myself applying for roles far below my experience and pay grade. Leadership jobs in media were thin on the ground, and after five years freelancing (自由职业), I struggled to get back in. So I parked my ego and sent my CV out for retail and admin roles — the sort of jobs I had last done in my early twenties. Gradually and clearly, short-term fixes were not enough. Rather than continuing to chase shrinking opportunities, I decided to retrain in psychotherapy. This choice was not an escape, but a watershed: a practical step towards a profession that values human connection and long-term purpose. Looking back, returning to university has reshaped how I see both work and success. Studying again has restored a sense of direction that is not decided only by the market. It has taught me that starting over does not mean failure, but adjustment. 4. How did the author feel about his own state in the beginning? A. A sense of youthful anticipation. B. A feeling of profound insecurity. C. An eagerness for academic challenges. D. A desire for new knowledge. 5. Why did the author apply for retail and admin roles? A. To accept reality more humbly. B. To return to jobs of his youth. C. To regain lost professional dignity. D. To pursue a new personal interest. 6. What does the underlined word “watershed” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Turning point. B. Difficult choice. C. Temporary relief. D. Final goal. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. All roads lead to Rome. C. It is never too late to learn. D. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. C Mika Sipponen, a materials chemist from a European University, went for a swim in a lake. Afterwards, he noticed his hair felt smooth without any hair product. The brownish water was rich in plant matter, leading him to wonder if lignin, which is found in wood — could help condition hair. His team mixed lignin with coconut oil, and it worked. Experiments showed that the mixture smoothed hair and reduced the force that it took to drag a comb through it. Since lignin can be sourced from wood waste, hair products made from it would be more environmentally friendly than those made with standard petrochemical-based ingredients. Their research is just one recent example of efforts to “green” hair care products, many of which have ingredients from non-renewable petrochemicals or that don’t degrade in the environment. A growing number of consumers want products that have a smaller environmental footprint and are made from ingredients they perceive as being milder on the body. “Consumer awareness and pressure have made a real impact on the hair care market,” says Alexa Friedman, an epidemiologist from an environmental research organization. Effective hair care relies on surface chemistry. Healthy hair has a thin oily layer, while damaged hair has rough scales. Many conditioners use positively charged polymers to stick to damaged hair, but these often come from non-renewable petrochemicals and may build up in the environment. Lignin offers a natural alternative. Scientists have modified lignin to make it positively charged and water-soluble. The approach doesn’t entirely avoid petrochemicals, which are the source of the chemical modifier for lignin, but it’s a good step. Still, Friedman cautions that it’s hard to know how green a product is because there is little accountability for claims. And even bio-based materials from renewable sources may still harm the environment. Yet even though consumers seek greener alternatives, the most important criterion for them is still whether a product works. “The first thing is performance,” Mika Sipponen says. “That’s what people look for.” Scientists, in those dirty ponds, and forests, are looking too. 8. What did Sipponen’s team find in their experiments? A. Lignin can be used to create eco-friendly hair products. B. Lignin from wood waste is beneficial to the environment. C. Lignin mixed with coconut oil can smooth people’s hair. D. The mixture of lignin and oil fails to increase combing friction. 9. Why do scientists look for alternative hair care products? A. Bio-based materials are more affordable to produce. B. Conventional ingredients may damage the environment. C. Traditional products are less effective in smoothing hair. D. Consumers are dissatisfied with current product performance. 10. What is Friedman’s attitude towards the green trend in the hair care market? A. Highly critical. B. Completely approving. C. Totally indifferent. D. Cautiously optimistic. 11. What can we infer regarding the future hair products from the last paragraph? A. They will be strictly regulated by environmental standards. B. They will soon completely replace petrochemical-based ones. C. They balance environmental benefits with product performance. D. They are less likely to be accepted by the majority of consumers. D Since late 2022, more netizens have started using large language models, a popular type of AI tool, which have skyrocketed, to access knowledge. It is no brainer that their appeal is obvious: Ask a question, get a polished synthesis (合成品), and move on — it feels like effortless learning. New research, in contrast, indicates this ease may have a cost. Just as a leading figure in the field of large language models uttered, no revolution comes without a price. A series of studies revealed that people using such AI tools to research a topic develop shallower knowledge compared to those using a standard web search engine. In the experiments, participants were asked to learn about something and were randomly assigned to do so by using either an LLM or the “old-fashioned way”. Afterwards, they were asked to write advice to a friend on the topic based on what they learned. The data revealed a consistent pattern: People who learned about a topic through an LLM versus web search felt that they learned less, invested less effort in writing their advice, which ultimately was shorter and less factual. Some independent readers who did not know how it was produced, when rating this advice, found it to be less informative and less helpful, and consequently they were less likely to adopt it. Why so? There is an old saying that goes, it is hard to read the label when you are inside the jar. Few know why this happens. A core principle of learning is that people learn best when they are actively engaged. With a common web search, you must evaluate search results, click links, and synthesize information from different sources. This active process strengthens understanding. Getting a ready-made synthesis from an AI, on the other hand, requires less cognitive struggle, which can lead to a more superficial grasp of the topic. However, to be clear, we do not believe the solution to these issues is to avoid using LLMs, especially given the undeniable benefits they offer in many contexts. Rather, our message is that people simply need to become smarter or more strategic users of LLMs. 12. Why are AI tools considered attractive for learning according to paragraph 1? A.

Take, for example, an international study conducted by a global educational research organization. In it, researchers examined standardized testing data from 15-year-olds across dozens of countries. They found students using technology the most tended to perform worse than those using it moderately. A separate analysis revealed that the more hours American students spent daily on computers doing English language arts, the lower their reading scores. ____17____ Another research found that higher levels of screen time at ages two and three were significantly associated with poorer performance on developmental screening tests at ages 3 and 5. But researchers say the evidence demonstrates that technology can also be used to promote learning. For example, a well-known educational research project found that using computers for research is associated with higher reading scores. ____18____ How technology is used also matters. ____19____ Instead of just putting devices in students’ hands, these nations used technology to support teacher collaboration, professional development, and lesson-sharing, which saw better outcomes than those that focused primarily on student-facing devices. ____20____ To effectively support student learning, the research shows that moderate levels of technology use that support broader educational goals work best. A. But what does the research show? B. And the reality is far from satisfying. C. The same holds true for younger children, too. D. Using technology in educational settings is complex. E. Researchers found students performed worse without electronic devices. F. And other researchers found some literacy and math apps do support learning. G. A global educational research group found some nations with top-performing students used technology differently. 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，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In long-distance running, athletes typically rely on coaches or experienced pacers for motivation.

Growing up in an athletic family, she couldn’t imagine life without the sport. Her journey to college soccer, however, wasn’t easy. Because she attended a high school with a weak soccer program, she never received many offers. She recalled corresponding with the New York University coach until she was ignored. “Senior fall was the one time I was struggling a lot,” she said. By that point, she had received only rejections and began to accept that she wouldn’t play college soccer. But her father, her biggest cheerleader, insisted she try out for one more school. He enrolled her in soccer camps to get her name out in the world. That last attempt turned fruitful when she was offered a spot on the Rochester roster. “I do believe everything happens for a reason,” she reflected. When Santangelo arrived in Rochester, the reality of college soccer set in immediately. Within her first season, the coaches moved her from her familiar midfield role to striker. The shift forced her to adapt quickly, but it also tested her confidence. “I pushed myself a little too far sometimes,” she admitted. “I forgot why I was doing what I was doing.” For the first time, soccer wasn’t just an outlet — it was a test of confidence, patience, and identity. Despite the pressure, Santangelo did well. She lived for the excitement, not the worry. To calm her pregame nervousness, she focused on her own potential performance rather than the other team. But one incident during her college career shook her deeply. During a match, her teammate Eileen fell to the ground after a serious injury. “The stands went silent, and she was just screaming,” Santangelo recalled. “I thought she broke every bone in her body.” The team stood frozen. Fear hung in the air. 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。 Then, through the silence, one voice spoke. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later that season, Santangelo stepped into another new role — guiding the incoming freshman strikers. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
