In May 2001, I had surgery to correct the length of my legs — my left leg was an inch shorter than my right. During surgery, doctors put one leg in a medieval-looking device: a frame that went straight through the bone. I had to wear the brace (支架) for around three months until both legs were the same length.
The device was heavy, and extremely painful. I spent my summer between college junior and senior years recovering. Though the days were dull and lonely, I held on, believing all the hardship would pay off soon.
By late July, my parents and I went to the doctor hopefully, only to head home in tears — the heavy metal brace still had to stay on. When August came for the new term, my mom drove 18 hours from Wisconsin to take me to American University in Washington, D.C. The whole trip was agonizing, and I cried nonstop from the pain, yet I was determined to return to school.
The first two weeks at school were exhausting. My painkillers made me so sleepy that I could barely stay awake during the day, let alone go out with my friends in the evening. The brace made my school life difficult and nearly ruined my social life.
One lonely Friday night, my sorority little sister Rachel and all her fellow new members dropped by. They brought drinks, snacks, flowers and balloons. Each girl gave me a handwritten note or a get-well card and a warm hug, whispering that they were proud of my determination and strength. I could only stay awake for about half an hour until my medicine took effect. But in that short time, they reminded me how lucky I was to have such friendly friends.
What those girls did for me was as simple as sharing a glass of lemonade and a few cookies, but they gave me the happiness and encouragement I needed most. I will always be thankful to them for helping me through one of the darkest periods of my life.

Scientists from Australia and New Zealand have discovered ancient animal remains inside a cave near Waitomo on Aotearoa’s North Island. The site contains a large collection of fossils dating back about 1 million years, including a previously unknown ancestor of the kākāpō, a large flightless parrot. The discovery includes fossils from 12 bird species and four frog species, offering a rare insight into New Zealand’s ecosystems during that period.
The findings show that New Zealand’s wildlife was heavily shaped by dramatic climate shifts and powerful volcanic eruptions, leading to repeated waves of extinction and the appearance of new species long before humans arrived, according to research published in Alcheringa: An Australasian Journal of Palaeontology. Lead author, Flinders University Associate Professor Trevor Worthy, says the research reveals a previously unknown chapter of the country’s biodiversity: ancient forests once hosted diverse birds that did not survive the next million years.
The team estimates that roughly 33-50% of species disappeared in the million years before humans arrived. Co-author and Canterbury Museum Senior Curator of Natural History Dr. Paul Scofield explains that rapid environmental changes, including severe volcanic eruptions, drove these extinctions.
Among the remarkable discoveries is a newly identified parrot species, Strigops insulaborealis (北方岛鸮鹦鹉), an ancient relative of the modern kākāpō. Unlike today’s heavy, flightless kākāpō, this earlier species may have been able to fly, though further study is needed.
Scientists were able to determine the fossils’ age because they were preserved between two volcanic ash layers. One layer dates to an eruption about 1.55 million years ago, while the other comes from a massive eruption around 1 million years ago.
Associate Professor Worthy says the discovery fills a major gap in understanding New Zealand’s past. While extinctions were long viewed mainly from the point of view of human arrival 750 years ago, this study proves that natural forces like super-volcanoes and climate shifts already sculpted the wildlife over a million years ago.
8. What did the researchers discover in the cave near Waitomo?
A. Fossils of modern bird species.
B. The first evidence of volcanic eruptions.
C. A previously unknown ancestor of the kākāpō.
D. Remains of humans from one million years ago.
9. According to Dr. Paul Scofield, what caused the extinctions before humans arrived?
A. Hunting by early humans. B. Dramatic ecological shifts.
C. The arrival of new predators. D. Competition among animal species.
10. What can be inferred about the newly discovered parrot species Strigops insulaborealis?
A. It lived only in Australia.
B. It might have been able to fly.
C. It was heavier than the modern kākāpō.
D. It became extinct after humans arrived.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The kākāpō is the oldest bird species in the world.
B. Volcanic eruptions are the only reason for species loss.
C. Human arrival caused most extinctions in New Zealand.
D. Natural forces shaped New Zealand’s wildlife long before humans.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了科学家在新西兰怀托摩附近的洞穴中发现了距今约100万年的古生物化石,其中包含此前未知的鸮鹦鹉祖先,研究揭示早在人类到达新西兰之前,气候变迁、火山喷发等自然力量就已经影响了当地的生物演化与物种灭绝。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The site contains a large collection of fossils dating back about 1 million years, including a previously unknown ancestor of the kākāpō, a large flightless parrot.(该遗址存有大量约一百万年前的化石,其中包含一种此前从未发现的鸮鹦鹉祖先,鸮鹦鹉是一种大型不会飞的鹦鹉)” 可知,研究人员在怀托摩附近的洞穴中发现了一种此前未知的鸮鹦鹉祖先。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Co-author and Canterbury Museum Senior Curator of Natural History Dr. Paul Scofield explains that rapid environmental changes, including severe volcanic eruptions, drove these extinctions.(合著者、坎特伯雷博物馆自然历史高级馆长保罗·斯科菲尔德博士解释说,包括严重火山喷发在内的快速环境变化导致了这些灭绝)”可知,斯科菲尔德认为人类到来前的灭绝是由剧烈的生态变化(环境剧变)引起的。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Among the remarkable discoveries is a newly identified parrot species, Strigops insulaborealis (北方岛鸮鹦鹉), an ancient relative of the modern kākāpō. Unlike today’s heavy, flightless kākāpō, this earlier species may have been able to fly, though further study is needed.(在这些引人注目的发现中,有一种新被鉴定的鹦鹉物种——北方岛鸮鹦鹉,它是现代鸮鹦鹉的一个远古近亲。与今天笨重且不会飞的鸮鹦鹉不同,这一更早期的物种可能具有飞行能力,尽管还需要进一步研究。)”可推知,新发现的鹦鹉物种北方岛鸮鹦鹉(Strigops insulaborealis)可能具备飞行能力。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据第二段“The findings show that New Zealand’s wildlife was heavily shaped by dramatic climate shifts and powerful volcanic eruptions, leading to repeated waves of extinction and the appearance of new species long before humans arrived(研究结果表明,早在人类抵达之前,剧烈的气候变迁和大规模火山喷发就深刻塑造了新西兰的野生动物,引发多轮物种灭绝与新物种诞生)”以及最后一段“While extinctions were long viewed mainly from the point of view of human arrival 750 years ago, this study proves that natural forces like super-volcanoes and climate shifts already sculpted the wildlife over a million years ago.(虽然长期以来灭绝主要从750年前人类抵达的角度来看待,但这项研究证明,超级火山和气候变化等自然力量早在100万年前就已经塑造了野生动物。)”可知,本文主要讲述了新西兰北岛洞穴中新发现了百万年前动物化石,研究证明早在人类抵达之前,火山喷发和气候剧变等自然力量就已经深刻塑造了新西兰的野生动物,并导致多次物种灭绝与新物种出现。因此本文的核心主旨是:早在人类到来之前,自然力量就塑造了新西兰的野生动物。

A cutting-edge AI model that appeared to copy human thinking may actually just be memorizing answers. New tests reveal it struggles with true understanding, exposing a major gap in today’s AI systems.
In July 2025, a Nature study introduced an AI model called “Centaur.” Built on standard large language models and refined using psychological data, Centaur was designed to simulate human cognitive behavior. It reportedly performed well across 160 tasks, including decision-making and executive control. The results drew widespread attention as a possible step toward AI that copies human thinking.
A more recent study in National Science Open challenges those claims. Researchers from Zhejiang University argue Centaur’s success may come from overfitting (过拟合). Instead of understanding tasks, the model may have learned to recognize patterns in training data and reproduce expected answers.
To test this, the researchers created new evaluation situations. In one example, they replaced original multiple-choice prompts (指令), which described specific psychological tasks, with the instruction “Please choose option A.” If the model truly understood the task, it should have consistently selected A. Instead, Centaur continued choosing the original “correct answers”.
This behavior suggests the model was not interpreting question meaning. Rather, it relied on learned statistical patterns to “guess” answers. The researchers compared this to a student who scores well by memorizing test formats without understanding the material.
The findings highlight caution when assessing large language models. While these systems are effective at fitting data, their “black-box” nature makes it difficult to know how they arrive at outputs. This can lead to errors or misunderstandings. Careful, varied testing is essential to determine whether a model truly has the skills it appears to demonstrate.
Although Centaur was presented as capable of simulating cognition, its biggest limitation is language comprehension. Specifically, it struggles to recognize meaning behind questions. The study suggests achieving true language understanding may be one of the most important challenges in developing AI systems that can model human cognition more fully.
12. What was Centaur designed to do when first introduced?
A. To simulate human cognitive behavior. B. To analyze data from 160 different tasks.
C. To replace standard large language models. D. To improve psychological research methods.
13. What does Centaur’s response to “Please choose option A” suggest?
A. It had forgotten its original training.
B. It memorized, but didn’t understand.
C. It refused to follow new instructions.
D. It understood the instruction but ignored it.
14. Why does the author compare Centaur to a student memorizing test formats?
A. To prove overfitting is a good thing.
B. To show memorization is useful for AI.
C. To suggest Centaur is not smart enough.
D. To argue AI should be trained like humans.
15. What can be inferred about AI systems that model human cognition?
A. Researchers have given up on language tasks.
B. Data fitting is more important than understanding.
C. Language comprehension remains a key challenge.
D. They have already succeeded with models like Centaur.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍名为Centaur的人工智能模型看似模仿人类思维,实则仅记忆答案,缺乏真正理解,指出了当前人工智能系统存在的短板与发展难题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Built on standard large language models and refined using psychological data, Centaur was designed to simulate human cognitive behavior.(Centaur基于标准大语言模型搭建,并利用心理学数据优化,旨在模拟人类认知行为)”可知,Centaur模型最初被设计用于模拟人类认知行为。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“This behavior suggests the model was not interpreting question meaning. Rather, it relied on learned statistical patterns to “guess” answers.(这一行为表明该模型并未理解题目含义,而是依靠学到的统计模式去“猜”答案)”可知,该模型只会记忆答案模式,并不具备真正的理解能力。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The researchers compared this to a student who scores well by memorizing test formats without understanding the material.(研究人员将这一情况比作学生只背诵考试题型、不理解知识点却取得高分的现象)”可知,作者打此比方是为了说明该人工智能只是机械记忆模式,并非真正理解任务、不够智能。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The study suggests achieving true language understanding may be one of the most important challenges in developing AI systems that can model human cognition more fully.(该研究表明,实现真正的语言理解,或许是研发能够更全面模拟人类认知的人工智能系统最重要的挑战之一)”可推知,语言理解依旧是模拟人类认知的人工智能系统的核心难题。

【导语】主要讲述了一群孟加拉国艺术家到访中国浙江龙泉,感受千年青瓷文化,参与中孟艺术文化交流,点明文化交流能够增进国家间相互理解。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在中国东部浙江省龙泉市的一场绵绵春雨中,几位孟加拉国画家正在描绘天空的蓝绿色——这种颜色看起来就像该市著名的青瓷的典型色泽。此空引导非限制性定语从句,先行词the sky’s blue-green color,指物,从句中缺主语,用关系代词which引导。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:2012年来到中国、如今任教于云南艺术学院的Mong Mong Sho深深地喜爱这里的美景。修饰谓语动词loves,需要用副词deeply作状语,意为“深深地”。
【38题详解】

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Back in the mid-1980s, for us fourth-grade students at Damascus Primary School, one name alone could fill our hearts with fear — that was Mrs. Duvall, our math teacher. She was a tall and strict woman who walked with heavy steps and always had a serious expression on her face. Her voice was low and sharp. Whenever she spoke loudly, not just the classroom walls seemed to shake, but all of us sitting at our desks felt nervous too. Even before math class started, her loud voice could be heard far down the hallway. I even felt pity for her homeroom students, who had to stay under her strict watch for nearly the whole day.
I used to do well in math until we began to learn long division. With continuous practice, I managed to work it out. But things became much harder when we learned calculations about money and time. I could count coins and tell the time correctly. However, I was completely confused when doing addition and subtraction (减法) related to them. My classmates mastered these problems easily, but they turned into a huge challenge for me. It took me several months before I finally made progress in this part.
Our teacher asked us to take online math tests repeatedly in class, and we had to keep trying until we got a passing score. Again and again, I walked to Mrs. Duvall’s desk nervously after failing the test. Each time, she looked upset and encouraged me firmly, “You are able to do this, Michael! You know the methods well.” At one point, I even wanted to give up and asked her to give me a failing grade directly.
Deep inside, though, I was eager to prove myself. I refused to give up easily and chose to keep working hard. Day by day, I practiced more carefully and tried to figure out where my problems lay. I held on to the belief that I would succeed one day.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式作答。
Finally, I showed my passing paper to Mrs. Duvall.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This experience taught me the meaning of persistence.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Finally, I showed my passing paper to Mrs. Duvall. Her sharp eyes scanned the paper slowly, then a faint warm smile crept over her stiff, serious face — the first gentle expression I’d ever caught on her. She lowered her loud voice, patted my trembling shoulder lightly, and said she admired my months of steady practice. I suddenly understood her strict rules were never meant to frighten me, but to drive me to keep trying. All my past anxiety melted into heartfelt gratitude.
This experience taught me the meaning of persistence. Those frustrating repeated tests once made me eager to surrender, yet Mrs. Duvall’s unshakable words kept me moving forward. Now whenever I hit tough barriers, I recall this math journey. It reminds me that small daily efforts will gather strength, and persistence will light the way to success.

In May 2001, I had surgery to correct the length of my legs — my left leg was an inch shorter than my right. During surgery, doctors put one leg in a medieval-looking device: a frame that went straight through the bone. I had to wear the brace (支架) for around three months until both legs were the same length.
The device was heavy, and extremely painful. I spent my summer between college junior and senior years recovering. Though the days were dull and lonely, I held on, believing all the hardship would pay off soon.
By late July, my parents and I went to the doctor hopefully, only to head home in tears — the heavy metal brace still had to stay on. When August came for the new term, my mom drove 18 hours from Wisconsin to take me to American University in Washington, D.C. The whole trip was agonizing, and I cried nonstop from the pain, yet I was determined to return to school.
The first two weeks at school were exhausting. My painkillers made me so sleepy that I could barely stay awake during the day, let alone go out with my friends in the evening. The brace made my school life difficult and nearly ruined my social life.
One lonely Friday night, my sorority little sister Rachel and all her fellow new members dropped by. They brought drinks, snacks, flowers and balloons. Each girl gave me a handwritten note or a get-well card and a warm hug, whispering that they were proud of my determination and strength. I could only stay awake for about half an hour until my medicine took effect. But in that short time, they reminded me how lucky I was to have such friendly friends.
What those girls did for me was as simple as sharing a glass of lemonade and a few cookies, but they gave me the happiness and encouragement I needed most. I will always be thankful to them for helping me through one of the darkest periods of my life.
4. Why did the author have an operation in May 2001?
A. To make her two legs equal in length
B. To recover from a long-time leg injury.
C. To remove a painful metal brace on her leg.
D. To treat a serious bone disease in her left leg.
5. What does the underlined word “agonizing” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Painful. B. Boring. C. Comfortable. D. Relaxing.
6. What can we learn about the author after returning to university?
A. She hung out with friends every night.
B. She drove to college alone for 18 hours.
C. She dropped classes due to sleepy painkillers.
D. Trip pain troubled her the first two weeks at school.
7. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The author finally gave up wearing the metal brace at school.
B. The doctor promised to remove the brace in late July as planned.
C. Rachel and her friends’ kindness lifted the author’s spirits greatly.
D. The author’s classmates always looked down on her because of the brace.

Scientists from Australia and New Zealand have discovered ancient animal remains inside a cave near Waitomo on Aotearoa’s North Island. The site contains a large collection of fossils dating back about 1 million years, including a previously unknown ancestor of the kākāpō, a large flightless parrot. The discovery includes fossils from 12 bird species and four frog species, offering a rare insight into New Zealand’s ecosystems during that period.
The findings show that New Zealand’s wildlife was heavily shaped by dramatic climate shifts and powerful volcanic eruptions, leading to repeated waves of extinction and the appearance of new species long before humans arrived, according to research published in Alcheringa: An Australasian Journal of Palaeontology. Lead author, Flinders University Associate Professor Trevor Worthy, says the research reveals a previously unknown chapter of the country’s biodiversity: ancient forests once hosted diverse birds that did not survive the next million years.
The team estimates that roughly 33-50% of species disappeared in the million years before humans arrived. Co-author and Canterbury Museum Senior Curator of Natural History Dr. Paul Scofield explains that rapid environmental changes, including severe volcanic eruptions, drove these extinctions.
Among the remarkable discoveries is a newly identified parrot species, Strigops insulaborealis (北方岛鸮鹦鹉), an ancient relative of the modern kākāpō. Unlike today’s heavy, flightless kākāpō, this earlier species may have been able to fly, though further study is needed.
Scientists were able to determine the fossils’ age because they were preserved between two volcanic ash layers. One layer dates to an eruption about 1.55 million years ago, while the other comes from a massive eruption around 1 million years ago.
Associate Professor Worthy says the discovery fills a major gap in understanding New Zealand’s past. While extinctions were long viewed mainly from the point of view of human arrival 750 years ago, this study proves that natural forces like super-volcanoes and climate shifts already sculpted the wildlife over a million years ago.
8. What did the researchers discover in the cave near Waitomo?
A. Fossils of modern bird species.
B. The first evidence of volcanic eruptions.
C. A previously unknown ancestor of the kākāpō.
D. Remains of humans from one million years ago.
9. According to Dr. Paul Scofield, what caused the extinctions before humans arrived?
A. Hunting by early humans. B. Dramatic ecological shifts.
C. The arrival of new predators. D. Competition among animal species.
10. What can be inferred about the newly discovered parrot species Strigops insulaborealis?
A. It lived only in Australia.
B. It might have been able to fly.
C. It was heavier than the modern kākāpō.
D. It became extinct after humans arrived.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The kākāpō is the oldest bird species in the world.
B. Volcanic eruptions are the only reason for species loss.
C. Human arrival caused most extinctions in New Zealand.
D. Natural forces shaped New Zealand’s wildlife long before humans.
D
A cutting-edge AI model that appeared to copy human thinking may actually just be memorizing answers. New tests reveal it struggles with true understanding, exposing a major gap in today’s AI systems.
In July 2025, a Nature study introduced an AI model called “Centaur.” Built on standard large language models and refined using psychological data, Centaur was designed to simulate human cognitive behavior. It reportedly performed well across 160 tasks, including decision-making and executive control. The results drew widespread attention as a possible step toward AI that copies human thinking.
A more recent study in National Science Open challenges those claims. Researchers from Zhejiang University argue Centaur’s success may come from overfitting (过拟合). Instead of understanding tasks, the model may have learned to recognize patterns in training data and reproduce expected answers.
To test this, the researchers created new evaluation situations. In one example, they replaced original multiple-choice prompts (指令), which described specific psychological tasks, with the instruction “Please choose option A.” If the model truly understood the task, it should have consistently selected A. Instead, Centaur continued choosing the original “correct answers”.
This behavior suggests the model was not interpreting question meaning. Rather, it relied on learned statistical patterns to “guess” answers. The researchers compared this to a student who scores well by memorizing test formats without understanding the material.
The findings highlight caution when assessing large language models. While these systems are effective at fitting data, their “black-box” nature makes it difficult to know how they arrive at outputs. This can lead to errors or misunderstandings. Careful, varied testing is essential to determine whether a model truly has the skills it appears to demonstrate.
Although Centaur was presented as capable of simulating cognition, its biggest limitation is language comprehension. Specifically, it struggles to recognize meaning behind questions. The study suggests achieving true language understanding may be one of the most important challenges in developing AI systems that can model human cognition more fully.
12. What was Centaur designed to do when first introduced?
A. To simulate human cognitive behavior. B. To analyze data from 160 different tasks.
C. To replace standard large language models. D. To improve psychological research methods.
13. What does Centaur’s response to “Please choose option A” suggest?
A. It had forgotten its original training.
B. It memorized, but didn’t understand.
C. It refused to follow new instructions.
D. It understood the instruction but ignored it.
14. Why does the author compare Centaur to a student memorizing test formats?
A. To prove overfitting is a good thing.
B. To show memorization is useful for AI.
C. To suggest Centaur is not smart enough.
D. To argue AI should be trained like humans.
15. What can be inferred about AI systems that model human cognition?
A. Researchers have given up on language tasks.
B. Data fitting is more important than understanding.
C. Language comprehension remains a key challenge.
D. They have already succeeded with models like Centaur.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Back in the mid-1980s, for us fourth-grade students at Damascus Primary School, one name alone could fill our hearts with fear — that was Mrs. Duvall, our math teacher. She was a tall and strict woman who walked with heavy steps and always had a serious expression on her face. Her voice was low and sharp. Whenever she spoke loudly, not just the classroom walls seemed to shake, but all of us sitting at our desks felt nervous too. Even before math class started, her loud voice could be heard far down the hallway. I even felt pity for her homeroom students, who had to stay under her strict watch for nearly the whole day.
I used to do well in math until we began to learn long division. With continuous practice, I managed to work it out. But things became much harder when we learned calculations about money and time. I could count coins and tell the time correctly. However, I was completely confused when doing addition and subtraction (减法) related to them. My classmates mastered these problems easily, but they turned into a huge challenge for me. It took me several months before I finally made progress in this part.
Our teacher asked us to take online math tests repeatedly in class, and we had to keep trying until we got a passing score. Again and again, I walked to Mrs. Duvall’s desk nervously after failing the test. Each time, she looked upset and encouraged me firmly, “You are able to do this, Michael! You know the methods well.” At one point, I even wanted to give up and asked her to give me a failing grade directly.
Deep inside, though, I was eager to prove myself. I refused to give up easily and chose to keep working hard. Day by day, I practiced more carefully and tried to figure out where my problems lay. I held on to the belief that I would succeed one day.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式作答。
Finally, I showed my passing paper to Mrs. Duvall.
