If a location on the South Pole wasn’t enough, Little Free Library is celebrating a major milestone: its 200,000th box. The nonprofit that manages these 200,000 mini libraries works to increase access to literacy (识字) in urban, suburban, and rural communities all over the world. This includes programming to expand access to books among disadvantaged communities. “We are honored to recognize all the work done by our global network of organizers and supporters to reach 200,000 Little Free Libraries,” said the organization’s executive director Greig Metzger. “Working together locally as a community connected through these libraries, we hope to make this opportunity a reality for all.” The worldwide network of Little Free Libraries covers 128 countries and all seven continents. Schools receiving these libraries and books were selected through an application process, and all students in the schools are welcome to take the books home at no cost. “Many of our students have no books at home, and transportation barriers prevent families from reaching the public library,” said a representative from participating school Somerset Lakes Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida. “A Little Free Library will serve as a crucial bridge, providing ongoing access to literature for these students, their parents, and the community.” “Literacy is the gateway to learn one’s past and present, and shape the future,” said Dr. Kenneth O. Turner Jr, a school’s principal. “Little Free Library is opening the gateway to as many people as possible.” Anyone interested in joining the “take a book, leave a book” movement of Little Free Library can build or buy their own box and register it online to be part of the official network. 4.

Their goal was to identify those parts of the brain that are crucial to human creativity and to find out the influences of brain injuries on these parts. Through a careful examination of data gained from 857 individuals across 36 studies that employed a brain-scanning approach, the researchers discovered that creativity is not merely associated with one single region of the brain. Instead, it is closely linked to a specific network of brain connections. What came as a surprise was that individuals who had experienced brain problems or certain types of brain-related diseases, which affected these connections, appeared to exhibit enhanced creativity. The research started with a comprehensive analysis of brain-scan data in an attempt to determine which parts of the brain become activated during creative activities such as drawing, writing stories, and composing music. Subsequently, an investigation was conducted into the data of patients whose creativity had undergone changes as a result of brain diseases. “Some people with brain diseases become more creative. Their brain damage patterns match our creativity-related network,” Kutsche, the leading researcher said. An exceptionally fascinating finding was that the brain regions involved in creativity had an opposite correlation with a particular part of the brain that is responsible for overseeing and ensuring rules followed. A reduction in the activity of this part due to injuries might potentially be beneficial for creativity. This is because it could prevent the brain from being overly self-critical, thereby allowing ideas to flow more freely. These findings are capable of explaining the situation where some brain-related diseases lead to a decrease in creativity, while others strangely result in an increase. Additionally, they might potentially open up a novel way for enhancing human creativity through brain stimulation. However, the researchers cautioned that these results do not cover all the brain connections relevant to creativity in that different parts of the brain are engaged in diverse creative tasks. 8. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To reveal the research outcomes. B. To introduce the research topic. C. To describe the research procedures. D. To present the significance of the research. 9. What does the researchers’ discovery indicate about creativity? A. Brain diseases never change it. B. It’s tied to a certain brain site. C. It’s related to a special brain web. D. Injuries might negatively influence it. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The analysis of relevant data. B. The purpose of the research. C. The process of the research. D. The change of creative activities. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. More active rule-overseeing may help creativity. B. Brain diseases can impact creativity positively. C. Current brain-creativity research is sufficient. D. Future research may focus on brain-stimulation for creativity. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了麻省总医院的研究团队对创造力与大脑结构之间复杂联系的研究。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A novel study by the research team at Mass General Brigham delved (深挖) deep into the complex connection between creativity and the architecture of the brain. Their goal was to identify those parts of the brain that are crucial to human creativity and to find out the influences of brain injuries on these parts.(麻省总医院Brigham的研究团队进行了一项新颖的研究，深入探讨了创造力与大脑结构之间的复杂联系。他们的目标是确定大脑中对人类创造力至关重要的部分，并找出脑损伤对这些部分的影响。)”可知，第一段介绍了麻省总医院Brigham的研究团队的研究，目的是引出研究主题，即创造力与大脑结构之间的复杂联系。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Through a careful examination of data gained from 857 individuals across 36 studies that employed a brain-scanning approach, the researchers discovered that creativity is not merely associated with one single region of the brain. Instead, it is closely linked to a specific network of brain connections.(通过对36项采用脑部扫描方法的研究中857人的数据进行仔细检查，研究人员发现，创造力不仅仅与大脑的一个区域有关。相反，它与大脑中一个特定的连接网络密切相关。)”可知，研究人员发现创造力与大脑中一个特定的连接网络密切相关。故选C。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The research started with a comprehensive analysis of brain-scan data in an attempt to determine which parts of the brain become activated during creative activities such as drawing, writing stories, and composing music. Subsequently, an investigation was conducted into the data of patients whose creativity had undergone changes as a result of brain diseases. “Some people with brain diseases become more creative. Their brain damage patterns match our creativity-related network,” Kutsche, the leading researcher said.(这项研究从对脑部扫描数据的全面分析开始，试图确定在绘画、写故事和作曲等创造性活动中大脑的哪些部分会被激活。随后，对因脑部疾病而导致创造力发生变化的患者数据进行了调查。首席研究员Kutsche说：“`一些患有脑部疾病的人变得更有创造力。他们的大脑损伤模式与我们的创造力相关网络相匹配。”)”可知，第三段主要介绍了研究的过程。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Additionally, they might potentially open up a novel way for enhancing human creativity through brain stimulation.(此外，它们还可能开辟一种通过大脑刺激来提高人类创造力的新方法。)”可推知，未来的研究可能会集中于通过大脑刺激来提高创造力。故选D。 D A quiet revolution is happening in autonomous systems, freeing us from the burdens of labor and giving us more control over our lives. A robotaxis can give you a smooth ride to wherever you need to go while a humanoid robot can handle chores at home. Undoubtedly, instead of spending time driving, or folding laundry, we can engage in intellectual, artistic, and social pursuits that were previously unimaginable. We can learn new languages, develop new skills, or connect more deeply with loved ones. We are close to a future where the freedom to create and explore is no longer limited by the demands of daily life. However, undeniable convenience as these autonomous systems offer, there’s something special about the tasks they aim to replace. Learning to drive, or even folding laundry is not just chores but the very fabric of our human experience. The first time you got behind the wheel of a car gave you a moment of growth and independence. Folding laundry can be a quiet, reflective moment—a reminder that life is made up of simple rhythms. Here lies the contradiction: Autonomy isn’t just about freedom from work but control. As we hand over more control to machines, we are losing some of our own. Take Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, for example. Despite the incredible convenience and safety it offers, we need to reflect on what we might be leaving behind as we move closer to this reality. For many, driving is more than just a means of getting from one destination to another—it’s an experience about freedom and control. The sensory connection to the road, and even the joy of mastering the art of driving are elements that technology might replace, but not necessarily reproduce. True human autonomy is not just about handing over daily tasks to machines. It’s about the choice to engage in those tasks when we want to. The simple act of driving a car, or cleaning a home is more than just a function; it’s an expression of our humanity. Perhaps that’s the real challenge in front of us as autonomous systems become more integrated into our lives; how to use these machines to enhance our freedom without losing the very expression of our humanity. 12. What do autonomous systems probably enable us to get? A. Greater abilities to handle chores. B. Higher intellectual ambitions. C. More opportunities to develop creativity. D. A free future of living without limits. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on? A. The value of routine experiences. B. The freedom through technology. C. The reflections on personal growth. D. The room for improving autonomous systems. 14. Why does the author mention “Tesla’s FSD system”? A. To demonstrate the joy of driving. B. To argue against the freedom from work. C. To give an example of technological convenience. D. To stress the loss of control and human experience. 15. What message does the author mainly convey? A. Technology serves as a helping hand. B. Freedom isn’t what technology offers us. C. The future of autonomous systems is in our hands. D. There are conflicts between innovation and autonomy. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了自主系统（如自动驾驶汽车和人形机器人）在带来生活便利的同时，也引发了关于人类自主性、控制权以及人性表达的思考。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Undoubtedly, instead of spending time driving, or folding laundry, we can engage in intellectual, artistic, and social pursuits that were previously unimaginable. We can learn new languages, develop new skills, or connect more deeply with loved ones. We are close to a future where the freedom to create and explore is no longer limited by the demands of daily life.(毫无疑问，与其花时间开车或叠衣服，我们可以从事以前无法想象的智力、艺术和社交活动。我们可以学习新的语言，发展新的技能，或者与所爱的人建立更深入的联系。我们正在接近这样一个未来：创造和探索的自由不再受到日常生活需求的限制)”可知，自主系统能让我们得到有更多的机会来发展创造力。故选C项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“However, undeniable convenience as these autonomous systems offer, there’s something special about the tasks they aim to replace. Learning to drive, or even folding laundry is not just chores but the very fabric of our human experience. The first time you got behind the wheel of a car gave you a moment of growth and independence. Folding laundry can be a quiet, reflective moment—a reminder that life is made up of simple rhythms.(然而，尽管这些自主系统提供了不可否认的便利，但它们旨在取代的任务有一些特别之处。学开车，甚至叠衣服都不仅仅是家务，而是我们人类经历的基本组成部分。你第一次开车给了你一个成长和独立的时刻。叠衣服可以是一个安静、沉思的时刻——提醒你生活是由简单的节奏组成的)”可知，本段的重点是日常经验的价值。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Take Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, for example. Despite the incredible convenience and safety it offers, we need to reflect on what we might be leaving behind as we move closer to this reality. For many, driving is more than just a means of getting from one destination to another—it’s an experience about freedom and control. The sensory connection to the road, and even the joy of mastering the art of driving are elements that technology might replace, but not necessarily reproduce.(以特斯拉的全自动驾驶（FSD）系统为例。尽管它提供了令人难以置信的便利和安全，但我们需要反思一下，随着我们越来越接近这一现实，我们可能会留下什么。对许多人来说，驾驶不仅仅是一种从一个目的地到达另一个目的地的方式——它是一种关于自由和控制的体验。与道路的感官联系，甚至是掌握驾驶艺术的乐趣，都是技术可能取代的元素，但不一定能复制)”可知，作者提到“Tesla’s FSD system”是为了强调控制权的丧失和人性经验的缺失。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“True human autonomy is not just about handing over daily tasks to machines. It’s about the choice to engage in those tasks when we want to. The simple act of driving a car, or cleaning a home is more than just a function; it’s an expression of our humanity. Perhaps that’s the real challenge in front of us as autonomous systems become more integrated into our lives; how to use these machines to enhance our freedom without losing the very expression of our humanity.(真正的人类自主并不仅仅是把日常任务交给机器。当我们想做这些事情的时候，我们可以选择去做。开车或打扫房间这样简单的行为不仅仅是一种功能；这是我们人性的表现。也许这才是我们面临的真正挑战，因为自动系统越来越融入我们的生活；如何使用这些机器来增强我们的自由，同时又不失去我们人性的表达)”可知，作者主要传达了创新和自主之间存在冲突。故选D项。 三、阅读七选五：本题共5小题，共12.5分。 I vividly remember the process of moving in for the first time: stuffing clothes, comfort items, and pieces of my childhood into various bags and boxes. It was a whirlwind (旋风)of excitement. ____16____ What would it be like living at college? Would I get along with my roommate? How would I make friends with complete strangers? ____17____ I had always felt like I struggled more than others to find “my people.” In high school, I had a few close friends, but it always seemed like everyone else had these big, inseparable friend groups that did everything together. I wanted that, and the sense of belonging, too. Like many, I was attracted by the first people I met in college.____18____ We lived next to each other, ate together, and stayed up late together. They were my early friend group, and they brought laughter, growth, and memories — both positive and negative. Those highs and lows taught me an important lesson: Not every friendship is meant to last, and that’s okay. Your friendships don’t just impact your social life — they affect your motivation, your academics, and, among other things, your sense of self. I have found it valuable to surround myself with people who share my values to keep me grounded.____19____ College is one of the few places in life where you’re surrounded by people from vastly different backgrounds and experiences. Keeping an open mind is just as important as finding common ground. College can be, and probably will be, chaotic. People come and go. You’ll probably cry over friendships that didn’t work out.____20____ That’s all part of the process. Over time, you will find your people. A. They’re part of your story. B. But it was also filled with uncertainty. C. I wouldn’t trade my friendship for anything. D. They mostly so happened to be the people on my floor. E. That said, don’t limit yourself to just those who are like you. F. You may smile at memories with people no longer close with. G. Of all the unknowns, the last question consumed me the most. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. D 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章结合作者在大学的经历讲述了如何在大学交朋友、正确的友谊观以及如何对待失去的友情。 【16题详解】 上文“I vividly remember the process of moving in for the first time: stuffing clothes, comfort items, and pieces of my childhood into various bags and boxes. It was a whirlwind (旋风)of excitement. (我清晰地记得第一次搬进去的情景：把衣服、贴心物件，还有承载着童年回忆的物品，一一塞进大大小小的袋子和箱子里。那真是一段满心激动的时光。)”描述了作者兴奋的状态，下文“What would it be like living at college? Would I get along with my roommate? How would I make friends with complete strangers? (住在大学里会是什么样子？我能和我的室友处得好吗？我怎么和完全陌生的人交朋友？)”指出了作者的一系列担忧。由此可知，作者在兴奋的同时也有一些不确定的地方。B项“但它也充满了不确定性。”符合语境，承上启下。故选B。 【17题详解】 下文“I had always felt like I struggled more than others to find “my people.” In high school, I had a few close friends, but it always seemed like everyone else had these big, inseparable friend groups that did everything together. I wanted that, and the sense of belonging, too. (我一直觉得，自己比别人更难找到 “同类挚友”。高中时，我有几个要好的朋友，但总感觉其他人都有那种庞大又形影不离的朋友圈，做什么事都一起。我也渴望那样的圈子，渴望那种归属感。)”推测，最让作者困惑的问题是在大学如何交到志同道合的朋友。G项“在所有的未知中，最后一个问题最让我困惑。”符合语境，承接上文的最后一个问题，下文解释作者担心的原因。故选G。 【18题详解】 上文“Like many, I was attracted by the first people I met in college. (和许多人一样，我被大学里遇到的第一批人所吸引。)”指出作者被遇到的第一批人吸引，由此推测，空处可能陈述这群人指的是“哪群”。D项“他们大多碰巧是我这一层的人。”符合语境，they指代上文的the first people。故选D。 【19题详解】 上文“I have found it valuable to surround myself with people who share my values to keep me grounded. (我发现同和我有共同价值观的人在一起让我脚踏实地是很有价值的。)”指出与有共同价值观的人在一起很有价值，后文“College is one of the few places in life where you’re surrounded by people from vastly different backgrounds and experiences. Keeping an open mind is just as important as finding common ground. (大学是人生中少数能让你被背景和经历截然不同的人围绕的地方之一。保持开放心态，和寻找共同话题同样重要。)”转而陈述要和不同背景和经历的人交往。由此可知，在大学不要局限于与自己有共同价值观的人在一起。E项“尽管如此，不要把自己局限在只和与你相似的人交往上。”符合语境，承上启下。故选E。 【20题详解】 上文“College can be, and probably will be, chaotic. People come and go. You’ll probably cry over friendships that didn’t work out. (大学可能会是，而且大概率就是混乱无序的。身边的人来来去去，你或许还会为那些无疾而终的友谊掉眼泪。)”指出身边的朋友可能离开，下文“That’s all part of the process. Over time, you will find your people. (这都是成长过程中的一部分。久而久之，你总会找到与自己合拍的挚友。)”指出随着时间的流逝我们可以找到挚友。由此推测，空处承接上文继续陈述可能会怎样对待失去的友谊。F项“你可能会微笑着回忆那些不再亲近的人。”符合语境。故选F。 四、完形填空：本题共15小题，共15分。 When I was growing up, I held on too tightly to things and ideas, which caused me a lot of stress.

It just felt good to be in the play, even if I had only four or five lines. I worked hard at perfecting those lines. I repeated them over and over again. I put in the emphases and intonations (语调) that my drama teacher had suggested and, because I was on stage much longer than for just four or five lines, I had many actions to rehearse (排练) and perform. “Do them in front of a mirror,” my drama teacher had advised me. “Watch how you look; practice and rehearse as often as you can.” I did just that. I worked and worked at it. It was fun and exciting rehearsing. Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of people. As I dressed, I could hear the chattering and noises of the audience-something that hadn’t been there during rehearsal. I looked around at the other more experienced actors and saw that the confidence they’d shown at rehearsal seemed to have disappeared. Everyone was on edge (紧张不安), anxious, and worried. Had they got their makeup right? Was the costume done up correctly? What if they forgot their lines? The more people talked about their anxiety, the more edgy everyone became. The worries bounced from one person to another-like a baton (接力棒) being passed in a relay race-until the whole of the backstage area seemed to be buzzing with tension and worry. I was on stage early, at first performing my non-spoken role in the background with several other guys around the same age. When, suddenly, I heard my cue (出场提示), the lights were bright in my eyes; I couldn’t see the audience but knew there were hundreds of people out there all watching me. The words that had flowed so easily when I stood in front of a mirror in my bedroom didn’t want to come, and when they did I found myself hurrying into them. I tried to slow down my thoughts and my words. Para1: But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para2: No one commented on my missed sentence-apart from my drama teacher. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Para1: But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence. What should I do? I chose to carry on, but when I finished and left the stage my hands felt sweaty and my heart was racing. I didn’t think about what I had achieved-performing my first solo part in a major production. Instead I was beating myself up for the sentence that I’d missed. The audience, of course, didn’t know I had missed a sentence. They made no gasps of horror, sounds of rebuke, or peals of laughter at my mistake. My fellow actors had just carried on as though nothing had happened and, after the play had finished, they were so busy talking about their own performances. Para2: No one commented on my missed sentence-apart from my drama teacher. “Well done,” she said. “Acting is like learning to ride a bike. You may not get it perfect the first time. You may fall off a few times, yet each time you get back on you do it better. Your performance may not have been perfect but, for your first time, it was great.” I felt reassured. It seemed like my teacher was saying it is okay to learn. You don’t have to be perfect, especially when you start something new. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者自己在学校戏剧试镜、排练和最终演出的整个过程，以及在这一过程中的感受和经历。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但我突然意识到我漏掉了一个句子。”以及第二段首句内容“除了我的戏剧老师，没有人评论我遗漏的句子。”可知，第一段可描写作者因为自己遗漏了一个句子而非常的懊恼。 ②由第二段首句内容“除了我的戏剧老师，没有人评论我遗漏的句子。”可知，第二段可描写老师认为作者已经表现得非常好。 2.续写线索：作者在学校戏剧表演中获得了一个角色——作者非常高兴，每天都在认真练习——表演的那一天终于到来了，作者发现所有的演员都很紧张——而这种紧张在每个人中蔓延——轮到作者表演时，作者非常紧张，漏掉了一个句子，作者忐忑不安，但是观众并不知道——表演结束后，作者的老师表扬了作者，认为作者虽然漏了一个句子，但是表现得很好，而且没有失败怎会完美 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①选择：choose to/make a choice to ②完成：finish/accomplish ③开始：start/begin 情绪类 ①恐怖：horror/terror ②感到安心的：feel reassured/feel relieved 【点睛】【高分句型1】I chose to carry on, but when I finished and left the stage my hands felt sweaty and my heart was racing.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】The audience, of course, didn’t know I had missed a sentence.(运用了省略引导词that的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语试卷 第I卷(选择题) 一、听力,本题共20小题，共30分。 1.听对话，选出最佳选项.

B In neighborhoods across the globe — even in Antarctica — it is not uncommon to find a Little Free Library, or a book-sharing box filled with a collection of free books to take, share and enjoy. If a location on the South Pole wasn’t enough, Little Free Library is celebrating a major milestone: its 200,000th box. The nonprofit that manages these 200,000 mini libraries works to increase access to literacy (识字) in urban, suburban, and rural communities all over the world. This includes programming to expand access to books among disadvantaged communities. “We are honored to recognize all the work done by our global network of organizers and supporters to reach 200,000 Little Free Libraries,” said the organization’s executive director Greig Metzger. “Working together locally as a community connected through these libraries, we hope to make this opportunity a reality for all.” The worldwide network of Little Free Libraries covers 128 countries and all seven continents. Schools receiving these libraries and books were selected through an application process, and all students in the schools are welcome to take the books home at no cost. “Many of our students have no books at home, and transportation barriers prevent families from reaching the public library,” said a representative from participating school Somerset Lakes Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida. “A Little Free Library will serve as a crucial bridge, providing ongoing access to literature for these students, their parents, and the community.” “Literacy is the gateway to learn one’s past and present, and shape the future,” said Dr. Kenneth O. Turner Jr, a school’s principal. “Little Free Library is opening the gateway to as many people as possible.” Anyone interested in joining the “take a book, leave a book” movement of Little Free Library can build or buy their own box and register it online to be part of the official network. 4. What does paragraph 1 suggest about the book-sharing boxes? A. They’re universal. B. They’re expensive. C. They’re well-maintained. D. They’re Antarctic-centered. 5. Why does Little Free Library manage these mini libraries? A. To make profits from book sales. B. To boost literacy across the world. C. To assist local schools in self-reform. D. To replace traditional public libraries. 6. What can be known about Somerset Lakes Academy’s representative and Dr. Kenneth? A. They speak highly of the nonprofit. B. They have large collections of books. C. They have difficulty accessing libraries. D. They failed to unlock students’ possibilities. 7. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Call for more comments. B. Praise the movement. C. Encourage participation. D. Explain the application process. C A novel study by the research team at Mass General Brigham delved (深挖) deep into the complex connection between creativity and the architecture of the brain. Their goal was to identify those parts of the brain that are crucial to human creativity and to find out the influences of brain injuries on these parts. Through a careful examination of data gained from 857 individuals across 36 studies that employed a brain-scanning approach, the researchers discovered that creativity is not merely associated with one single region of the brain. Instead, it is closely linked to a specific network of brain connections. What came as a surprise was that individuals who had experienced brain problems or certain types of brain-related diseases, which affected these connections, appeared to exhibit enhanced creativity. The research started with a comprehensive analysis of brain-scan data in an attempt to determine which parts of the brain become activated during creative activities such as drawing, writing stories, and composing music. Subsequently, an investigation was conducted into the data of patients whose creativity had undergone changes as a result of brain diseases. “Some people with brain diseases become more creative. Their brain damage patterns match our creativity-related network,” Kutsche, the leading researcher said. An exceptionally fascinating finding was that the brain regions involved in creativity had an opposite correlation with a particular part of the brain that is responsible for overseeing and ensuring rules followed. A reduction in the activity of this part due to injuries might potentially be beneficial for creativity. This is because it could prevent the brain from being overly self-critical, thereby allowing ideas to flow more freely. These findings are capable of explaining the situation where some brain-related diseases lead to a decrease in creativity, while others strangely result in an increase. Additionally, they might potentially open up a novel way for enhancing human creativity through brain stimulation. However, the researchers cautioned that these results do not cover all the brain connections relevant to creativity in that different parts of the brain are engaged in diverse creative tasks. 8. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To reveal the research outcomes. B. To introduce the research topic. C. To describe the research procedures. D. To present the significance of the research. 9. What does the researchers’ discovery indicate about creativity? A. Brain diseases never change it. B. It’s tied to a certain brain site. C. It’s related to a special brain web. D. Injuries might negatively influence it. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The analysis of relevant data. B. The purpose of the research. C. The process of the research. D. The change of creative activities. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. More active rule-overseeing may help creativity. B. Brain diseases can impact creativity positively. C. Current brain-creativity research is sufficient. D. Future research may focus on brain-stimulation for creativity. D A quiet revolution is happening in autonomous systems, freeing us from the burdens of labor and giving us more control over our lives. A robotaxis can give you a smooth ride to wherever you need to go while a humanoid robot can handle chores at home. Undoubtedly, instead of spending time driving, or folding laundry, we can engage in intellectual, artistic, and social pursuits that were previously unimaginable. We can learn new languages, develop new skills, or connect more deeply with loved ones. We are close to a future where the freedom to create and explore is no longer limited by the demands of daily life. However, undeniable convenience as these autonomous systems offer, there’s something special about the tasks they aim to replace. Learning to drive, or even folding laundry is not just chores but the very fabric of our human experience. The first time you got behind the wheel of a car gave you a moment of growth and independence. Folding laundry can be a quiet, reflective moment—a reminder that life is made up of simple rhythms. Here lies the contradiction: Autonomy isn’t just about freedom from work but control. As we hand over more control to machines, we are losing some of our own. Take Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, for example. Despite the incredible convenience and safety it offers, we need to reflect on what we might be leaving behind as we move closer to this reality. For many, driving is more than just a means of getting from one destination to another—it’s an experience about freedom and control. The sensory connection to the road, and even the joy of mastering the art of driving are elements that technology might replace, but not necessarily reproduce. True human autonomy is not just about handing over daily tasks to machines. It’s about the choice to engage in those tasks when we want to. The simple act of driving a car, or cleaning a home is more than just a function; it’s an expression of our humanity.

It was a whirlwind (旋风)of excitement. ____16____ What would it be like living at college? Would I get along with my roommate? How would I make friends with complete strangers? ____17____ I had always felt like I struggled more than others to find “my people.” In high school, I had a few close friends, but it always seemed like everyone else had these big, inseparable friend groups that did everything together. I wanted that, and the sense of belonging, too. Like many, I was attracted by the first people I met in college.____18____ We lived next to each other, ate together, and stayed up late together. They were my early friend group, and they brought laughter, growth, and memories — both positive and negative. Those highs and lows taught me an important lesson: Not every friendship is meant to last, and that’s okay. Your friendships don’t just impact your social life — they affect your motivation, your academics, and, among other things, your sense of self. I have found it valuable to surround myself with people who share my values to keep me grounded.____19____ College is one of the few places in life where you’re surrounded by people from vastly different backgrounds and experiences. Keeping an open mind is just as important as finding common ground. College can be, and probably will be, chaotic. People come and go. You’ll probably cry over friendships that didn’t work out.____20____ That’s all part of the process. Over time, you will find your people. A. They’re part of your story. B. But it was also filled with uncertainty. C. I wouldn’t trade my friendship for anything. D. They mostly so happened to be the people on my floor. E. That said, don’t limit yourself to just those who are like you. F. You may smile at memories with people no longer close with. G. Of all the unknowns, the last question consumed me the most. 四、完形填空：本题共15小题，共15分。 When I was growing up, I held on too tightly to things and ideas, which caused me a lot of stress.

It just felt good to be in the play, even if I had only four or five lines. I worked hard at perfecting those lines. I repeated them over and over again. I put in the emphases and intonations (语调) that my drama teacher had suggested and, because I was on stage much longer than for just four or five lines, I had many actions to rehearse (排练) and perform. “Do them in front of a mirror,” my drama teacher had advised me. “Watch how you look; practice and rehearse as often as you can.” I did just that. I worked and worked at it. It was fun and exciting rehearsing. Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of people. As I dressed, I could hear the chattering and noises of the audience-something that hadn’t been there during rehearsal. I looked around at the other more experienced actors and saw that the confidence they’d shown at rehearsal seemed to have disappeared. Everyone was on edge (紧张不安), anxious, and worried. Had they got their makeup right? Was the costume done up correctly? What if they forgot their lines? The more people talked about their anxiety, the more edgy everyone became. The worries bounced from one person to another-like a baton (接力棒) being passed in a relay race-until the whole of the backstage area seemed to be buzzing with tension and worry. I was on stage early, at first performing my non-spoken role in the background with several other guys around the same age. When, suddenly, I heard my cue (出场提示), the lights were bright in my eyes; I couldn’t see the audience but knew there were hundreds of people out there all watching me. The words that had flowed so easily when I stood in front of a mirror in my bedroom didn’t want to come, and when they did I found myself hurrying into them. I tried to slow down my thoughts and my words. Para1: But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para2: No one commented on my missed sentence-apart from my drama teacher. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
