An international team of ocean researchers aboard the research ship Falkor has made a surprising breakthrough. During a two-week expedition off Brazil in South Atlantic, they identified over 31 new marine species. The group, including two scientists from Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, targeted the midwater zone — the vast layer between the sunlit ocean surface waters and the seabed, Earth’s largest yet least studied living ecosystem.
Normally, documenting new marine species takes scientists decades. However, cutting-edge devices paired with expert knowledge let the team confirm these unknown creatures within just a few days. The new discoveries range widely: jellyfish, glowing comb jellies, tadpole-like larvaceans and tiny shelled sea animals, among others.
Trip lead scientist Karen Osborn says the midwater zone hosts barely-known unique sea creatures. Those species have developed unique survival adaptations to tough environments, which inspires humans to carry out continuous deep-sea exploration. Besides, the team also spotted far more varieties of marine life than expected, including glass squid and octopuses hunting bright red jellyfish.
Great depth and massive volume make the midwater zone extremely tough to survey. Funded by a dedicated marine research grant, the project united species classification experts and innovative engineers. They built an advanced exploration model to speed up global sharing of digital organism samples and species data.
Brand-new specialized tools made this rapid identification achievable. Of all the troubles brought by traditional sample collecting methods, physical damage to delicate sea creatures had long troubled researchers most. Besides, the old equipment struggled to shoot clear images of tiny marine life, and could not support genetic testing. The new tools solved these long-standing problems. Researchers collected intact samples, recorded their precise three-dimensional details and carried out genetic analysis successfully.
Dr. Jyotika Virmani, director of Schmidt Ocean Institute, notes that this tool system charts the future of marine research. High-tech hardware plus joint team cooperation guarantees gentle, comprehensive marine study, even with virtual reality assistance.
4. What is shown in the text about the midwater zone?
A. It is hard for marine life to survive. B. It remains little-explored by humans.
C. It mainly houses single-celled organisms. D. It accounts for a small part of the whole ocean.
5. What can we infer about the new exploration model?
A. It took the team several decades to build it.
B. It made resource access easier for researchers.
C. It helped boost the ocean ecological environment.
D. It aimed to further marine study in shallow waters.
6. What does the underlined word “intact” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Colorful. B. Exposed. C. Limited. D. Unbroken.
7. What is Dr. Jyotika Virmani’s attitude towards the new tool system?
A. Doubtful. B. Indifferent. C. Optimistic. D. Disapproving.
C
Many white-collar workers feel anxious about AI-driven layoffs, yet young students think quite differently. Instead of fearing AI will ruin future job prospects, teenagers and young adults welcome this technology and try their best to master it as a useful working tool. Schools and colleges set varied rules and courses to guide proper AI use.
Robert Seamans, NYU Stern professor, finds his MBA students free from worries over AI-related career changes. With previous work experience, they adapt to industry shifts calmly. He designs AI classroom experiments to teach proper AI use: students write papers and employ AI to back up their viewpoints. More importantly, he encourages students to gather opposing feedback. Seamans states learning to work with AI prepares students to handle conflicting ideas in real workplaces.
Schools adopt inconsistent policies on AI use. Many teachers prohibit AI tools in class, while others permit supervised limited AI use for learning tasks. High school senior Aarnav Sathish, whose school bans in-class AI access, only turns to ChatGPT after school for repetitive assignments. He says that AI should serve as a learning aid, not total reliance.
Georgia Tech applies flexible standards across different majors. Sophomore Carson uses AI for oral Mandarin (普通话) practice; senior Andrew’s professors allow AI use but forbid copied AI content. An information security midterm opened access to AI, yet complicated logical and visual questions defeated AI, pulling down class scores. Thus, educators now prioritize training students’ advanced independent thinking over routine tasks that AI can handle effortlessly.
Seamans reminds employers young talents are eager to cooperate with AI. What companies truly need are creative staff with independent judgment to integrate human unique strengths with ever-changing AI technology.
All in all, AI poses no real risk to young learners, who actively view it as a helpful tool rather than a competitor. Irreplaceable human thinking brings core competitiveness. Students who apply AI wisely and keep independent judgment will remain competitive in an AI-dominated job market.
8. What benefits can Seamans’ AI experiments bring to students?
A. They ensure students to finish papers much faster.
B. They free students from AI dependence completely.
C. They help students deal with critical views at work.
D. They improve students’ ability to communicate with AI.
9. Why does Aarnav Sathish turn to ChatGPT after school?
A. To copy fully-written essays. B. To finish repeated homework.
C. To practice his spoken Chinese. D. To check answers of in-class exams.
10. What do Georgia Tech’s teachers stress at present?
A. Using AI to ease study pressure. B. Developing independent thinking.
C. Banning AI tools during school hours. D. Helping students master Internet technology.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Professors argue AI will replace human workers. B. Different schools carry out strict rules against AI.
C. AI is not a career threat but a useful learning tool. D. AI creates more job chances for college graduates.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,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。
Why do some people stay unshaken under pressure while others collapse easily? The answer is mental toughness, not luck. Most people avoid discomfort and seek instant relief all their lives, wondering why everything feels so hard. ____12____ Today, you’re going to have the tools to become mentally unbreakable.
A right mindset lays the base of inner strength. You must rebuild your view of challenges. Life is never meant to be easy. Mental strength grows out of struggles and repeated failures. Treat your mind as a muscle that needs training: every difficulty is a chance to become tougher. ____13____ Stop for a moment, take a deep breath and count to five when you feel annoyed, so you won’t act without thinking.
____14____ Failure is an essential part of success. Nobody can win all the time. If you’ve been beaten recently, that’s a positive sign — that means you’re trying and learning. The only true loss is quitting, which takes away all chances to improve yourself.
Your reaction shapes your life far more than misfortunes themselves. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond. Mentally strong people reject victim mindsets. Instead of complaining “Why me?”, they think “What can I fix?”, viewing troubles as tests of their capability. ____15____
Motivation often wears off fast, so discipline counts more. Do necessary tasks whether you feel like it or not. Never wait for perfect timing or sudden passion. Stick to small daily routines for long-term gains. ____16____ All methods are useless without real action. Choose to change starting today for a stronger future self.
A. Real growth never comes without defeats.
B. Yet there is no need for you to follow this path.
C. You also need to manage emotions in stressful moments.
D. It is unwise to rely on others for comfort under stress.
E. So shift complaints into practical problem-solving thoughts.
F. Steady daily systems rather than temporary passion bring big changes.
G. They think mental toughness is born rather than trained through daily efforts.

Christmas Eve had always been the warmest day in my family. Every December, my parents and I would set up our small Christmas tree indoors, string colorful lights and hang handmade decorations together, enjoying festive joy sheltered from cold wind. But this year, my parents had to travel far for work, leaving me, a teenage boy, to spend the holiday alone.
My next-door neighbor Mr. Reed was a quiet artist. He lived alone, and I guessed he was good at cooking, for delicious smells often came out of his house. His yard was the highlight of the street: the wooden fence was painted beautifully. However, one of his legs suffered minor discomfort, so his walking steps looked a little uneven. He rarely talked to anyone, keeping a distance from all neighbors. People thought he was cold and odd.
Earlier that bright morning before Christmas, I decided to place our Christmas tree in the yard instead of indoors for a change. I spent the whole morning decorating it with shiny balls, lanterns and paper stars, devoting all my energy to a unique outdoor festive scene. Mr. Reed passed by while I was decorating cheerfully. He stopped to watch for a moment, his lips moving slightly as if to say something. Yet as usual, he said nothing and walked off. By noon, my yard decoration turned out just as I’d pictured.
However, something unexpected happened. Strong winds started out of nowhere in the afternoon. Alarmed, I checked the weather forecast immediately, which warned that heavy snowstorm would hit our town later at night. I panicked at the thought that my painstakingly decorated tree might get completely ruined once the snowstorm arrived. The wind kept blowing decorations away before I could pick them up. Deep down I knew the tree had to be moved inside before dark. I tried dragging it, yet the constant strong wind added to the difficulty.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Unsteady footsteps sounded behind me.

An international team of ocean researchers aboard the research ship Falkor has made a surprising breakthrough. During a two-week expedition off Brazil in South Atlantic, they identified over 31 new marine species. The group, including two scientists from Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, targeted the midwater zone — the vast layer between the sunlit ocean surface waters and the seabed, Earth’s largest yet least studied living ecosystem.
Normally, documenting new marine species takes scientists decades. However, cutting-edge devices paired with expert knowledge let the team confirm these unknown creatures within just a few days. The new discoveries range widely: jellyfish, glowing comb jellies, tadpole-like larvaceans and tiny shelled sea animals, among others.
Trip lead scientist Karen Osborn says the midwater zone hosts barely-known unique sea creatures. Those species have developed unique survival adaptations to tough environments, which inspires humans to carry out continuous deep-sea exploration. Besides, the team also spotted far more varieties of marine life than expected, including glass squid and octopuses hunting bright red jellyfish.
Great depth and massive volume make the midwater zone extremely tough to survey. Funded by a dedicated marine research grant, the project united species classification experts and innovative engineers. They built an advanced exploration model to speed up global sharing of digital organism samples and species data.
Brand-new specialized tools made this rapid identification achievable. Of all the troubles brought by traditional sample collecting methods, physical damage to delicate sea creatures had long troubled researchers most. Besides, the old equipment struggled to shoot clear images of tiny marine life, and could not support genetic testing. The new tools solved these long-standing problems. Researchers collected intact samples, recorded their precise three-dimensional details and carried out genetic analysis successfully.
Dr. Jyotika Virmani, director of Schmidt Ocean Institute, notes that this tool system charts the future of marine research. High-tech hardware plus joint team cooperation guarantees gentle, comprehensive marine study, even with virtual reality assistance.
4. What is shown in the text about the midwater zone?
A. It is hard for marine life to survive. B. It remains little-explored by humans.
C. It mainly houses single-celled organisms. D. It accounts for a small part of the whole ocean.
5. What can we infer about the new exploration model?
A. It took the team several decades to build it.
B. It made resource access easier for researchers.
C. It helped boost the ocean ecological environment.
D. It aimed to further marine study in shallow waters.
6. What does the underlined word “intact” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Colorful. B. Exposed. C. Limited. D. Unbroken.
7. What is Dr. Jyotika Virmani’s attitude towards the new tool system?
A. Doubtful. B. Indifferent. C. Optimistic. D. Disapproving.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了国际科考团队借助新型设备与数据共享系统,在大西洋中层海域快速发现三十余种新海洋生物。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The group, including two scientists from Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, targeted the midwater zone — the vast layer between the sunlit ocean surface waters and the seabed, Earth’s largest yet least studied living ecosystem.(该团队中包含两名来自比奇洛海洋科学实验室的科学家,他们将研究目标锁定在中层海域——这片位于受阳光照射的海洋表层水域与海床之间的广阔水层,是地球上规模最大却研究程度最低的生命生态系统。)”可知,中层海域是人类探索极少的海洋生态区域。

The new tools solved these long-standing problems.(在传统样本采集方法带来的所有难题当中,对脆弱海洋生物造成的物理伤害长期以来最困扰研究人员。此外,旧设备难以拍摄小型海洋生物的清晰影像,也无法开展基因检测。这套新型工具解决了这些长期存在的问题。)”可知,传统采集方式容易损伤脆弱的海洋生物,全新工具解决了这些长期存在的难题,由此可知,研究者能够采集完好无损的样本,intact意为“完整无破损的”,对应unbroken。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr. Jyotika Virmani, director of Schmidt Ocean Institute, notes that this tool system charts the future of marine research. High-tech hardware plus joint team cooperation guarantees gentle, comprehensive marine study, even with virtual reality assistance(施密特海洋研究所所长乔蒂卡・维尔马尼博士指出,这套工具系统勾勒出海洋研究未来的发展蓝图。依托高科技硬件设备,再加上团队协同合作,即便借助虚拟现实技术辅助,也能开展温和、全面的海洋科考工作。)”可知,博士认为这套工具体系勾勒出海洋研究的发展方向,还可配合 VR 开展全面温和的海洋勘测,由此可知,博士对此持乐观态度。

Many white-collar workers feel anxious about AI-driven layoffs, yet young students think quite differently. Instead of fearing AI will ruin future job prospects, teenagers and young adults welcome this technology and try their best to master it as a useful working tool. Schools and colleges set varied rules and courses to guide proper AI use.
Robert Seamans, NYU Stern professor, finds his MBA students free from worries over AI-related career changes. With previous work experience, they adapt to industry shifts calmly. He designs AI classroom experiments to teach proper AI use: students write papers and employ AI to back up their viewpoints. More importantly, he encourages students to gather opposing feedback. Seamans states learning to work with AI prepares students to handle conflicting ideas in real workplaces.
Schools adopt inconsistent policies on AI use. Many teachers prohibit AI tools in class, while others permit supervised limited AI use for learning tasks. High school senior Aarnav Sathish, whose school bans in-class AI access, only turns to ChatGPT after school for repetitive assignments. He says that AI should serve as a learning aid, not total reliance.
Georgia Tech applies flexible standards across different majors. Sophomore Carson uses AI for oral Mandarin (普通话) practice; senior Andrew’s professors allow AI use but forbid copied AI content. An information security midterm opened access to AI, yet complicated logical and visual questions defeated AI, pulling down class scores. Thus, educators now prioritize training students’ advanced independent thinking over routine tasks that AI can handle effortlessly.
Seamans reminds employers young talents are eager to cooperate with AI. What companies truly need are creative staff with independent judgment to integrate human unique strengths with ever-changing AI technology.
All in all, AI poses no real risk to young learners, who actively view it as a helpful tool rather than a competitor. Irreplaceable human thinking brings core competitiveness. Students who apply AI wisely and keep independent judgment will remain competitive in an AI-dominated job market.
8. What benefits can Seamans’ AI experiments bring to students?
A. They ensure students to finish papers much faster.
B. They free students from AI dependence completely.
C. They help students deal with critical views at work.
D. They improve students’ ability to communicate with AI.
9. Why does Aarnav Sathish turn to ChatGPT after school?
A. To copy fully-written essays. B. To finish repeated homework.
C. To practice his spoken Chinese. D. To check answers of in-class exams.
10. What do Georgia Tech’s teachers stress at present?
A. Using AI to ease study pressure. B. Developing independent thinking.
C. Banning AI tools during school hours. D. Helping students master Internet technology.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Professors argue AI will replace human workers. B. Different schools carry out strict rules against AI.
C. AI is not a career threat but a useful learning tool. D. AI creates more job chances for college graduates.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述在合理引导下,AI 并非就业威胁而是实用学习工具。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Seamans states learning to work with AI prepares students to handle conflicting ideas in real workplaces.(西曼斯指出,学会与人工智能协作,能帮助学生做好准备,应对真实职场中存在的各类矛盾观点。)”可知,该 AI 实验能帮助学生应对职场中的批判性的观点。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“High school senior Aarnav Sathish, whose school bans in-class AI access, only turns to ChatGPT after school for repetitive assignments.(高中生阿尔纳夫・萨西什所在学校禁止课堂使用人工智能工具,因此他只在放学后才会用ChatGPT完成重复性作业。)”可知,Aarnav课后使用ChatGPT是为了完成重复性作业。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Thus, educators now prioritize training students’ advanced independent thinking over routine tasks that AI can handle effortlessly.(因此,如今教育工作者优先培养学生的高阶独立思考能力,而非让他们去完成那些AI就能轻松胜任的常规任务。)”可知,老师们看重培养学生独立思考能力。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。全文围绕 AI 的定位展开论述,既指出白领担忧 AI 冲击就业,又通过各校 AI 教学、人才培养案例说明,经过正确引导,AI 不会成为就业隐患,只是服务学习的工具。由此可知,文章的主旨是AI 并非就业威胁,而是实用学习工具。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,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。
Why do some people stay unshaken under pressure while others collapse easily? The answer is mental toughness, not luck. Most people avoid discomfort and seek instant relief all their lives, wondering why everything feels so hard. ____12____ Today, you’re going to have the tools to become mentally unbreakable.
A right mindset lays the base of inner strength. You must rebuild your view of challenges. Life is never meant to be easy. Mental strength grows out of struggles and repeated failures. Treat your mind as a muscle that needs training: every difficulty is a chance to become tougher. ____13____ Stop for a moment, take a deep breath and count to five when you feel annoyed, so you won’t act without thinking.
____14____ Failure is an essential part of success. Nobody can win all the time. If you’ve been beaten recently, that’s a positive sign — that means you’re trying and learning. The only true loss is quitting, which takes away all chances to improve yourself.
Your reaction shapes your life far more than misfortunes themselves. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond. Mentally strong people reject victim mindsets. Instead of complaining “Why me?”, they think “What can I fix?”, viewing troubles as tests of their capability. ____15____
Motivation often wears off fast, so discipline counts more. Do necessary tasks whether you feel like it or not. Never wait for perfect timing or sudden passion. Stick to small daily routines for long-term gains. ____16____ All methods are useless without real action. Choose to change starting today for a stronger future self.
A. Real growth never comes without defeats.
B. Yet there is no need for you to follow this path.
C. You also need to manage emotions in stressful moments.
D. It is unwise to rely on others for comfort under stress.
E. So shift complaints into practical problem-solving thoughts.
F. Steady daily systems rather than temporary passion bring big changes.
G. They think mental toughness is born rather than trained through daily efforts.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. E 16. F
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍塑造强大心理韧性的四种方法。
【12题详解】
根据上文“Most people avoid discomfort and seek instant relief all their lives, wondering why everything feels so hard.(大多数人终其一生都在回避不适、追求即时解脱,还困惑为什么事事都如此艰难。)”和下文“Today, you’re going to have the tools to become mentally unbreakable.(而今天,你将掌握练就强大心理韧性的方法,拥有坚不可摧的内心。)”可知,上文讲多数人的消极老路,下文给出新解决办法,中间需要转折过渡。B选项“Yet there is no need for you to follow this path.(但你不必走这条路。)”形成转折,衔接“普通人的消极做法”和“下文传授变强的方法”。
【13题详解】
根据上文“Treat your mind as a muscle that needs training: every difficulty is a chance to become tougher.(把你的心智当作一块需要训练的肌肉:每一次困境都是让你变得更强大的契机。)”和下文“Stop for a moment, take a deep breath and count to five when you feel annoyed, so you won’t act without thinking.(当你感到烦躁时,停下片刻、深呼吸并数到五,这样就不会不经思考就冲动行事。)”可知,下文深呼吸控情绪是具体情绪管理手段,空处总起这一段情绪调节内容。C选项“You also need to manage emotions in stressful moments.(你还要在压力下管理情绪。)”承上(心态重塑)启下(控情绪的具体做法),also体现递进关系。
【14题详解】
根据下文“Failure is an essential part of success. Nobody can win all the time. If you’ve been beaten recently, that’s a positive sign — that means you’re trying and learning. The only true loss is quitting, which takes away all chances to improve yourself.(失败是成功不可或缺的组成部分,没有人能永远一帆风顺。如果你最近遭遇了挫败,这反而是一个积极的信号——它意味着你正在尝试、正在成长。唯一真正的失败是选择放弃,放弃会彻底夺走你所有自我提升的机会。)”可知,下文讲述了失败是成功必经之路,失败代表你在尝试成长,放弃才是真正的输。空处为段落主旨句,概括本段 “失败对成长的意义”。A选项“Real growth never comes without defeats.(真正的成长离不开挫折。)”统领全段,defeats对应段落出现的failure。
【15题详解】
根据上文“Mentally strong people reject victim mindsets. Instead of complaining “Why me?”, they think “What can I fix?”, viewing troubles as tests of their capability.(内心强大的人会拒绝受害者心态。他们不会一味抱怨“为什么偏偏是我”,而是会思考“我能解决什么问题”,把遇到的麻烦当作对自身能力的考验。)”可知,上文对比两种思维:抱怨思维和解决问题思维,空处总结转换思维这件事。E选项“So shift complaints into practical problem-solving thoughts.(把抱怨转化为解决问题的实际想法。)”中complaints、problem-solving完全复现上文关键词。
【16题详解】
上文“Never wait for perfect timing or sudden passion. Stick to small daily routines for long-term gains.(永远不要等待所谓的完美时机,也不要寄希望于突如其来的热情。坚持做好日常的微小行动,才能收获长期的成长回报。)”指出不靠激情、靠日常坚持。F选项“Steady daily systems rather than temporary passion bring big changes.(稳定日常习惯而非短暂热情带来巨大改变。)”中daily systems对应small daily routines,temporary passion复现sudden passion,高度贴合段落主题。

Good morning, everyone!
It’s my great privilege to share my impressive volunteer experience with you.
Last weekend, I joined a volunteer program at a community nursing home. To relieve their loneliness, I kept the elders company, having heart-to-heart talks with them. Meanwhile, I cleaned and organized their rooms to build a neat and pleasant living space for them. Besides, I instructed them about some functions of smart phones, enabling them to stay connected with family members and enrich their daily life.

第二节 (满分 25 分)
65. 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。
Christmas Eve had always been the warmest day in my family. Every December, my parents and I would set up our small Christmas tree indoors, string colorful lights and hang handmade decorations together, enjoying festive joy sheltered from cold wind. But this year, my parents had to travel far for work, leaving me, a teenage boy, to spend the holiday alone.
My next-door neighbor Mr. Reed was a quiet artist. He lived alone, and I guessed he was good at cooking, for delicious smells often came out of his house. His yard was the highlight of the street: the wooden fence was painted beautifully. However, one of his legs suffered minor discomfort, so his walking steps looked a little uneven. He rarely talked to anyone, keeping a distance from all neighbors. People thought he was cold and odd.
Earlier that bright morning before Christmas, I decided to place our Christmas tree in the yard instead of indoors for a change. I spent the whole morning decorating it with shiny balls, lanterns and paper stars, devoting all my energy to a unique outdoor festive scene. Mr. Reed passed by while I was decorating cheerfully. He stopped to watch for a moment, his lips moving slightly as if to say something. Yet as usual, he said nothing and walked off. By noon, my yard decoration turned out just as I’d pictured.
However, something unexpected happened. Strong winds started out of nowhere in the afternoon. Alarmed, I checked the weather forecast immediately, which warned that heavy snowstorm would hit our town later at night. I panicked at the thought that my painstakingly decorated tree might get completely ruined once the snowstorm arrived. The wind kept blowing decorations away before I could pick them up. Deep down I knew the tree had to be moved inside before dark. I tried dragging it, yet the constant strong wind added to the difficulty.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文:
Unsteady footsteps sounded behind me. I turned around and saw Mr. Reed standing at my yard gate. Despite his weak leg, he proved he had enough strength to help me carry the tree indoors. He offered to rearrange all my decorations with his artistic eye. He adjusted the position of lanterns and stars skillfully, turning the ordinary tree into a delicate artwork. He said he would hold an art exhibition the next month. A sense of closeness and admiration welled up inside me. Before leaving, he invited me to have Christmas lunch at his home the next day, which I accepted with excitement.
As promised, I headed for his house the next day. His yard looked even more beautiful than ever. Stepping inside his house, I was amazed by countless fantastic paintings covering every wall. He served delicious homemade food, the pleasant smell of which I had often smelled floating out from his house before. I told him I once thought he was cold and distant, yet he actually owned the warmest heart. A bright smile spread across his face. This unexpected bond between us taught me neighborly warmth lies in quiet care. That Christmas turned out to be my most unforgettable holiday, filled with kindness and beauty.
