Habitat for Birds Campus Chapters
Habitat for Birds is an organization that brings people together to protect bird habitats, conserve bird species, and foster hope for our planet’s biodiversity. A Habitat for Birds campus chapter is initiated and led by a group of students on a high school or college campus. Its members are students passionate about protecting our feathered friends and the ecosystems they rely on. Each campus chapter partners with a nearby organization - the local Habitat for Birds and is ready to take fulfill preservation.
Four guiding functions for campus chapters:
1. Direct service
Campus chapters volunteer on habitat restoration projects, such as planting native invasive participating in citizen science bird counts, and assisting in treating injured birds.
2. Fundraising
Campus chapters raise funds to support the work of local bird conservation trusts and international environmental initiatives. Chapters may contribute through various eco-friendly fundraisers, such as charity bird walks or sustainable product sales, in partnership with local environmental organizations.
3. Advocating
Campus chapter leaders and members must advocate environmental protection, which means raising your voice to help local authorities shape policies that protect wetlands, forests, and urban green spaces, ensuring a healthier planet for both birds and humans.
4. Educating
Campus chapters help educate others on their campus and in their local community about the critical link between bird survival and human well-being. By sharing knowledge about how birds control pests and pollinate plants, and raising awareness about threats like climate change and plastic pollution, they help more people understand the importance of a balanced ecosystem.
Do you already volunteer with environmental causes and are ready to take your involvement to the next level? In order to start a campus chapter and gain access to greater resources and support, your group must partner with a nearby organization. And your local Habitat will work with you to establish your chapter and set conservation goals for the year.

As I started my grad school (研究生学业), I found everyone seemed so certain of their talent, so fluent in the language of ambition. I, on the other hand, was still figuring out what I even wanted my voice to sound like.
There was this quiet, unspoken current of competition: who got published, who was shortlisted for something, who got invited to read. No one said it aloud, but we all felt it. I genuinely loved reading my classmates' works, but every time I did, I caught myself wondering if I'd ever write something that effortless, that sure of itself, which would fuel my hidden worry whether it was already too late for me to be successful.
To add to the pressure, in the second semester of my first year, I worked with Marilynne Robinson, a Pulitzer Prize winner. I became consumed with making my writing worth her time, so much so that the first story I handed in for our workshop appeared to be something over-polished. When Marilynne told me that my main character "had no soul", it stung deeply. At that time, I believed her critique wasn't about the work, but about me. Maybe I was missing something essential that other writers had. But looking back, I see that comment differently now. Maybe my main character had no soul because I had been too afraid to give him one, afraid of what would spill out if I stopped guarding every word.
I began to stop performing the version of myself I thought belonged to the grad school. Instead of racing to produce something "impressive," I permitted myself to slow down. I started journaling again, not for a workshop, not for publication, just to remind myself what it felt like to write without consequence. It was strange how quickly that shift changed things. When I stopped trying to sound like someone who knew everything, I started to sound like myself. The pages were still messy, still uncertain, but they were mine.
Maybe writing wasn't about becoming "good" so much as becoming honest. Grad school was full of people who were constantly producing new stories, new essays, new wins. I learned, eventually, that I wasn't built that way. The truth is, I don't know if I'll ever feel fully "good at this." Maybe writing, and life, really, isn't about certainty at all. It's about staying curious long enough to see what emerges when you stop proving and start listening.
14. At the beginning of her grad school, the author
A. lost hope of success
B. felt unsure of herself
C. failed in a competition
D. was jealous of her classmates
15. How did the author feel when hearing Marilynne's words?
A. Embarrassed and guilty.
B. Hurt and self-doubting.
C. Disappointed and confused.
D. Discouraged and regretful.
16. The author made some changes by
A. redirecting her focus
B. revising her writing style
C. rebuilding relationships
D. reshaping main characters
17. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Good things come to those who wait.
B. Adversity reveals genius; ease blocks it.
C. Tune your guitar and the music will speak.
D. A skilled sailor can navigate through any storm.

For a long time, many climate scientists held onto an optimistic belief: when the impacts of global warming became undeniable, people and governments would finally act decisively. Perhaps a devastating hurricane, heatwave or flood, or even a cascade of disasters, would make the severity of the problem impossible to ignore, spurring (推动) large-scale action. Yet, even as disasters mount, climate change remains low on voters' priority lists and policy responses are tepid.
This widespread inaction is often blamed on political or structural forces. But decades of psychological research has suggested something deeper is at play: the human brain tends to overlook slow, creeping change. This is known as the boiling frog effect — where subtle changes fail to trigger alarm, resulting in indifference despite worsening conditions; like a frog in a pan of slowly warming water.
In 2020, we were researching climate impacts in Princeton, New Jersey. The area doesn't face wildfires or droughts, but we realized it had lost something: winter ice skating. For decades, you could skate on Lake Carnegie every year. Now, it rarely freezes over. Through conversations with long-term residents and digging into local newspaper archives (档案), we discovered there had been a sharp decline in ice skating on the lake over the past century, and a sense of loss over it. This interruption to a winter tradition suddenly made climate change in Princeton feel real. Tangible. Personal.
That led us to ask: could binary (二元的) climate data — yes-or-no indicators such as "lake freeze" vs. "no freeze" make people sit up and take notice better than gradual temperature rise?
We tested this idea in a series of experiments. Participants were shown one of two graphs: one displayed a fictional town's rising winter temperatures; the other showed whether its lake froze each year. Importantly, both graphs captured the same underlying climate trend. But people's responses were very different. People who saw the binary "froze or not" graphs consistently perceived climate change as having a greater impact than those who saw the temperature graphs. In follow-up studies with data taken from lakes in North America and Europe, we saw the same result. When climate impacts were presented in these kinds of black-and-white terms, people took them more seriously.
Why? We found that binary data creates an illusion of sudden shifts. When people saw a series of winters when the lake froze, followed by years when it didn't, they perceived a clear "before" and "after", even though the change was gradual. Climate change isn't just a physical crisis. It is also a psychological problem. Unless we communicate it in ways that feel real, we risk tuning out the warning signs until it is too late.
18. Why does the author mention the boiling frog effect?
A. To criticize the inaction.
B. To explain the climate change.
C. To illustrate a psychological state.
D. To justify climate scientists' belief.
19. What can be inferred about the research in Princeton?
A. It generated an assumption.
B. It restored a winter tradition.
C. It improved climate solutions.
D. It revealed people's indifference.
20. According to the author, what is more likely to motivate action on climate change?
A. Old black-and-white pictures.
B. Extreme weather statistics.
C. Then-and-now images.
D. Temperature graphs.

A newly published report claims “AI-generated poetry is indistinguishable from human-written poetry and is rated more favorably”, which has drawn massive attention to this criticized yet beloved art form. The Washington Post definitively declared that “ChatGPT is a poet”. Others more closely echoed the age-old claims that poetry is dead, or as one publication offered, “Yield, Shakespeare.”
Reports like these are important to investigate as they have practical and potentially serious consequences. They can strengthen what some argue is the art form’s nugacity, which in turn helps fuel arguments that discredit the importance of teaching poetry and supporting passionate poets, as well as nonprofit poetry organizations and publishers dedicated to their work.
The authors of the new report, scientists Brian Porter and Edouard Machery, entered their experiments with the premise (前提) that a poem is something to be solved and poetry, a competition to win.
In the first of the scientists’ two experiments, they directed ChatGPT to produce texts that imitated poems by 10 poets. Participants were assigned a poem and asked to determine the origin of the work: poet or bot. The scientists reveal that the study participants “are non-expert readers of poetry” and “found the task very difficult, and were at least in part answering randomly”.
Their second experiment asked a different, smaller group of participants to review poems authored by poets and ChatGPT texts imitating poems and then assess them based on some characteristics. Participants rated the bot’s texts higher. However, it should be noted that, among the characteristics, only rhyme is a specific and distinct formal element, making it easily recognizable. Rhyme, therefore, as in the previous experiment, could have influenced results favorably in the direction of ChatGPT.
Porter and Machery propose that their participants’ apparent preference for algorithmically-generated texts is because they were “generally more accessible” to those who may not have the time or interest for the in-depth analysis demanded by the poetry of human poets. This reveals a questionable assumption about poetry. It’s true that reading poems takes time. In fact, one of the art form’s benefits is that it slows readers down and invites them to another place for a few moments. But it’s not true that poems sweepingly “demand” “in-depth analysis”.
The scientists’ second experiment also confirmed that participants judged texts more negatively when it was revealed they were actually produced by ChatGPT. They draw the conclusion that this means there is "a mismatch between readers’ expectations and reality". This could instead be something more fundamental: a confirmation of a desire to be led by a human guide, to be able to imagine the hand, to take comfort in another being, to know soul.
21. What is probably the author’s attitude towards the reports mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. Tolerant. B. Humble.
C. Pessimistic. D. Critical.
22. What does the underlined word “nugacity” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Unreliability. B. Insignificance.
C. Contradictoriness. D. Backwardness.
23. As for the experiments, the author thinks that _________.
A. participants’ desire for easy reading affected the result
B. experimenters' capability to judge poems was shown
C. the assessment features weakened the credibility
D. deep analysis of poems should serve as the basis
24. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Power of AI’s Words: Can Humans Grasp?
B. Human Poetry: The Last Art in the Age of AI?
C. AI-generated Poetry: A New Renaissance?
D. Voices of the Heart: Can AI Bridge?
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,共 10 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In 2025, I averaged 9,370 steps a day. My daily aim? Ten thousand steps. Because of goals.
____25____In the 1960s, a company in Japan invented an early step counter. Because the Japanese character for “10,000” looks like a person walking, the company called its device the 10,000-Step Meter.
Step-counting devices such as watches and phones came into widespread use only in the past two decades. Once they did, scientists needed to follow users for long periods to learn anything meaningful about the number of steps that affects life span, cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness or anything else.____26____
The current physical activity guidelines published in 2018 were still based on time not on steps.____27____Nearly all were based on self-reports of physical activity, a measure that is not exact. It’s the equivalent of guessing how much time I spent walking last year.
Now evidence about steps is starting to come in. In 2023, experts published one of the first studies specifically investigating the actual effects of meeting the 10,000-step goal. Several other large studies followed. The result? Some movement is good, and more is better, but the benefits level off at some point.
Your personal peak depends on your age. People younger than 60 should indeed walk 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day to get the best benefits. People older than 60 show the most benefit between 6,000 and 8,000 steps. The difference is energy consumption. Walking for 60 minutes at 3.3 miles an hour and running for 30 minutes at six miles an hour use the same amount of energy. Kraus, an epidemiologist, says: “Per step, older people expend more energy.” ____28____
Newer studies are moving beyond death rates to ask questions about the way steps may contribute to diabetes prevention or help to control blood pressure and weight. ____29____Full results are not in yet, so Kraus’ advice in the meantime is: “Tailor your steps according to what you are trying to achieve and according to who you are.”
A. And until recently, that hadn’t happened.
B. If they get 10,000 steps, it seems like a good goal.
C. Experts reviewed hundreds of studies on exercise and health.
D. The goal, after all, is not just to live longer but to live healthier.
E. As a result, they need fewer steps to achieve the same benefits.
F. Yet the concept of taking 10,000 steps a day to maintain health is rooted not in science.
G. Studies indicate that a decade of consistently hitting that goal translates to about an extra year and a half of life.

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
The distinction between sympathy and empathy is such a fine line in a dictionary. But there is a huge difference in real life.
It was an icy morning; the road was very slippery. I had seen two cyclists fall off their bicycles already. “They should be more careful,” I thought. Then I braked (刹车), the world turned upside down, and suddenly there were three splatted cyclists. Some people came to help, holding hands and taking small careful steps so they didn’t fall over, too. One woman lifted the bike, lifted me, and got me safe. She told me to go to hospital.
“I’m fine,” I gasped, holding my ribs (肋骨) tight. I eventually cracked three days later when I woke up barely able to move.
The doctor — a not unbusy man — gave me a quick exam, diagnosed me, and then with less drama than I would have liked told me there was nothing to be done and I would be in a lot of pain for a while.
Over the next few weeks, I came to understand the complaints of older people. Putting on my socks was a victory. If I dropped something, it stayed dropped. I came to understand why disabled restrooms have handles. Coughs were extreme suffering. There was a three-week period in February when I knew exactly how many times I sneezed. Sometimes, my wife laughed when I struggled with ordinary daily chores. I never laughed, I pointed out, when years before she hurt her knee skiing and hopped along on crutches (拐杖) like a lame duck.
But beneath the joke, something shifted. I have always been sympathetic to people in long-term pain, but it took falling off my bike to be empathetic. Even then, I still cannot say I truly understand it, as there was one crucial difference: I knew my pain would come to an end. Many people do not have that comfort.
30. What happened to the author on an icy morning?
____________________________________________________________
31. What did the doctor conclude after examining the author?
____________________________________________________________
32. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
The author came to understand the complaints of older people when he hopped along on crutches.
____________________________________________________________
33. Do you think we can truly understand the pain of others? Why or why not? (In about 40 words)

As I started my grad school (研究生学业), I found everyone seemed so certain of their talent, so fluent in the language of ambition. I, on the other hand, was still figuring out what I even wanted my voice to sound like.
There was this quiet, unspoken current of competition: who got published, who was shortlisted for something, who got invited to read. No one said it aloud, but we all felt it. I genuinely loved reading my classmates' works, but every time I did, I caught myself wondering if I'd ever write something that effortless, that sure of itself, which would fuel my hidden worry whether it was already too late for me to be successful.
To add to the pressure, in the second semester of my first year, I worked with Marilynne Robinson, a Pulitzer Prize winner. I became consumed with making my writing worth her time, so much so that the first story I handed in for our workshop appeared to be something over-polished. When Marilynne told me that my main character "had no soul", it stung deeply. At that time, I believed her critique wasn't about the work, but about me. Maybe I was missing something essential that other writers had. But looking back, I see that comment differently now. Maybe my main character had no soul because I had been too afraid to give him one, afraid of what would spill out if I stopped guarding every word.
I began to stop performing the version of myself I thought belonged to the grad school. Instead of racing to produce something "impressive," I permitted myself to slow down. I started journaling again, not for a workshop, not for publication, just to remind myself what it felt like to write without consequence. It was strange how quickly that shift changed things. When I stopped trying to sound like someone who knew everything, I started to sound like myself. The pages were still messy, still uncertain, but they were mine.
Maybe writing wasn't about becoming "good" so much as becoming honest. Grad school was full of people who were constantly producing new stories, new essays, new wins. I learned, eventually, that I wasn't built that way. The truth is, I don't know if I'll ever feel fully "good at this." Maybe writing, and life, really, isn't about certainty at all. It's about staying curious long enough to see what emerges when you stop proving and start listening.
14. At the beginning of her grad school, the author
A. lost hope of success
B. felt unsure of herself
C. failed in a competition
D. was jealous of her classmates
15. How did the author feel when hearing Marilynne's words?
A. Embarrassed and guilty.
B. Hurt and self-doubting.
C. Disappointed and confused.
D. Discouraged and regretful.
16. The author made some changes by
A. redirecting her focus
B. revising her writing style
C. rebuilding relationships
D. reshaping main characters
17. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Good things come to those who wait.
B. Adversity reveals genius; ease blocks it.
C. Tune your guitar and the music will speak.
D. A skilled sailor can navigate through any storm.
【答案】14. B 15. B 16. A 17. C
【解析】
【导语】主要讲述作者读研写作期间深陷自我怀疑,在名师点评后转变心态,领悟写作贵在真诚而非刻意完美。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“As I started my grad school (研究生学业), I found everyone seemed so certain of their talent, so fluent in the language of ambition. I, on the other hand, was still figuring out what I even wanted my voice to sound like.(当我开启研究生学业时,我发现所有人都笃定自己的天赋,张口满是远大抱负。而我却还在摸索自己想要的文字风格。)”可知刚读研时作者内心不自信。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When Marilynne told me that my main character "had no soul", it stung deeply. At that time, I believed her critique wasn't about the work, but about me. Maybe I was missing something essential that other writers had.(当玛丽莲说我的主角“没有灵魂”时,我内心深受刺痛。那时我认为她批评的不是作品,而是我本人,或许我缺少其他写作者拥有的核心特质。)”可知,听到玛里琳的话时,作者感到受伤,并且心生自我怀疑。
【16题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I began to stop performing the version of myself I thought belonged to the grad school. Instead of racing to produce something "impressive," I permitted myself to slow down. I started journaling again, not for a workshop, not for publication, just to remind myself what it felt like to write without consequence.(我不再刻意扮演符合研究生院期待的自己,不再急于写出惊艳的作品,允许自己放慢节奏,重拾随笔写作,不为课堂、不为发表,只为纯粹书写。)”可知作者调整了自己的重心,不再追逐他人认可,回归纯粹写作。
【17题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Maybe writing wasn't about becoming "good" so much as becoming honest. Grad school was full of people who were constantly producing new stories, new essays, new wins. I learned, eventually, that I wasn't built that way. The truth is, I don't know if I'll ever feel fully "good at this." Maybe writing, and life, really, isn't about certainty at all. It's about staying curious long enough to see what emerges when you stop proving and start listening.(或许写作的意义,不在于写得有多“出色”,而在于足够坦诚。 读研期间,身边所有人都在不停产出新故事、新文章,不断收获成绩。我最终明白,我本就不是那样的人。说实话,我也不知道自己能否有一天发自内心觉得“擅长写作”。 或许无论是写作,还是整个人生,本就无关笃定与万全。真正重要的是长久保持好奇心:放下急于证明自己的执念,静下心去倾听,静待一切自然浮现。)”可知,放下刻意雕琢,遵从内心真诚书写,文字才能拥有灵魂。所以C选项“调好琴弦,乐曲自会倾诉心声。”是学到的道理。
C
For a long time, many climate scientists held onto an optimistic belief: when the impacts of global warming became undeniable, people and governments would finally act decisively. Perhaps a devastating hurricane, heatwave or flood, or even a cascade of disasters, would make the severity of the problem impossible to ignore, spurring (推动) large-scale action. Yet, even as disasters mount, climate change remains low on voters' priority lists and policy responses are tepid.
This widespread inaction is often blamed on political or structural forces. But decades of psychological research has suggested something deeper is at play: the human brain tends to overlook slow, creeping change. This is known as the boiling frog effect — where subtle changes fail to trigger alarm, resulting in indifference despite worsening conditions; like a frog in a pan of slowly warming water.
In 2020, we were researching climate impacts in Princeton, New Jersey. The area doesn't face wildfires or droughts, but we realized it had lost something: winter ice skating. For decades, you could skate on Lake Carnegie every year. Now, it rarely freezes over. Through conversations with long-term residents and digging into local newspaper archives (档案), we discovered there had been a sharp decline in ice skating on the lake over the past century, and a sense of loss over it. This interruption to a winter tradition suddenly made climate change in Princeton feel real. Tangible. Personal.
That led us to ask: could binary (二元的) climate data — yes-or-no indicators such as "lake freeze" vs. "no freeze" make people sit up and take notice better than gradual temperature rise?
We tested this idea in a series of experiments. Participants were shown one of two graphs: one displayed a fictional town's rising winter temperatures; the other showed whether its lake froze each year. Importantly, both graphs captured the same underlying climate trend. But people's responses were very different. People who saw the binary "froze or not" graphs consistently perceived climate change as having a greater impact than those who saw the temperature graphs. In follow-up studies with data taken from lakes in North America and Europe, we saw the same result. When climate impacts were presented in these kinds of black-and-white terms, people took them more seriously.
Why? We found that binary data creates an illusion of sudden shifts. When people saw a series of winters when the lake froze, followed by years when it didn't, they perceived a clear "before" and "after", even though the change was gradual. Climate change isn't just a physical crisis. It is also a psychological problem. Unless we communicate it in ways that feel real, we risk tuning out the warning signs until it is too late.
18. Why does the author mention the boiling frog effect?
A. To criticize the inaction.
B. To explain the climate change.
C. To illustrate a psychological state.
D. To justify climate scientists' belief.
19. What can be inferred about the research in Princeton?
A. It generated an assumption.
B. It restored a winter tradition.
C. It improved climate solutions.
D. It revealed people's indifference.
20. According to the author, what is more likely to motivate action on climate change?
A. Old black-and-white pictures.
B. Extreme weather statistics.
C. Then-and-now images.
D. Temperature graphs.
【答案】18. C 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【导语】文章指出面对渐进式气候灾难人们普遍不作为,引入“煮蛙效应”解释背后心理原因,并通过普林斯顿湖泊结冰相关实验证明二元化对比数据更能唤醒人们对气候变化的重视。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But decades of psychological research has suggested something deeper is at play: the human brain tends to overlook slow, creeping change. This is known as the boiling frog effect — where subtle changes fail to trigger alarm, resulting in indifference despite worsening conditions; like a frog in a pan of slowly warming water. (但数十年心理学研究表明深层原因在于:人脑容易忽视缓慢渐进的变化,这就是煮蛙效应——细微变化无法拉响警报,即便情况持续恶化,人们依旧无动于衷,如同温水锅里的青蛙。)”可知作者用煮蛙效应阐释人们面对缓慢气候恶化时漠视的心理状态。
【19题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段普林斯顿湖泊结冰现象的实地调研,以及第四段“That led us to ask: could binary (二元的) climate data — yes-or-no indicators such as "lake freeze" vs. "no freeze" make people sit up and take notice better than gradual temperature rise? (这让我们产生疑问:像湖泊结冰与否这类二元气候指标,是否比缓慢上升的气温数据更能引起人们重视?)”可知这次实地研究催生了新的猜想假设,后续才开展对照实验验证猜想。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“But people's responses were very different. People who saw the binary "froze or not" graphs consistently perceived climate change as having a greater impact than those who saw the temperature graphs. (但两组受试者反应差异巨大,看到“结冰/未结冰”二元对比图表的人,普遍认为气候变化带来的影响更严重。)”和第六段“When people saw a series of winters when the lake froze, followed by years when it didn't, they perceived a clear "before" and "after" (人们看到往年湖面结冰、后来常年不冻的对比,能清晰感受到今昔巨变。)”可知新旧对照图更能推动人们采取行动。
D
A newly published report claims “AI-generated poetry is indistinguishable from human-written poetry and is rated more favorably”, which has drawn massive attention to this criticized yet beloved art form. The Washington Post definitively declared that “ChatGPT is a poet”. Others more closely echoed the age-old claims that poetry is dead, or as one publication offered, “Yield, Shakespeare.”
Reports like these are important to investigate as they have practical and potentially serious consequences. They can strengthen what some argue is the art form’s nugacity, which in turn helps fuel arguments that discredit the importance of teaching poetry and supporting passionate poets, as well as nonprofit poetry organizations and publishers dedicated to their work.
The authors of the new report, scientists Brian Porter and Edouard Machery, entered their experiments with the premise (前提) that a poem is something to be solved and poetry, a competition to win.
In the first of the scientists’ two experiments, they directed ChatGPT to produce texts that imitated poems by 10 poets. Participants were assigned a poem and asked to determine the origin of the work: poet or bot. The scientists reveal that the study participants “are non-expert readers of poetry” and “found the task very difficult, and were at least in part answering randomly”.
Their second experiment asked a different, smaller group of participants to review poems authored by poets and ChatGPT texts imitating poems and then assess them based on some characteristics. Participants rated the bot’s texts higher. However, it should be noted that, among the characteristics, only rhyme is a specific and distinct formal element, making it easily recognizable. Rhyme, therefore, as in the previous experiment, could have influenced results favorably in the direction of ChatGPT.
Porter and Machery propose that their participants’ apparent preference for algorithmically-generated texts is because they were “generally more accessible” to those who may not have the time or interest for the in-depth analysis demanded by the poetry of human poets. This reveals a questionable assumption about poetry. It’s true that reading poems takes time. In fact, one of the art form’s benefits is that it slows readers down and invites them to another place for a few moments. But it’s not true that poems sweepingly “demand” “in-depth analysis”.
The scientists’ second experiment also confirmed that participants judged texts more negatively when it was revealed they were actually produced by ChatGPT. They draw the conclusion that this means there is "a mismatch between readers’ expectations and reality". This could instead be something more fundamental: a confirmation of a desire to be led by a human guide, to be able to imagine the hand, to take comfort in another being, to know soul.
21. What is probably the author’s attitude towards the reports mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. Tolerant. B. Humble.
C. Pessimistic. D. Critical.
22. What does the underlined word “nugacity” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Unreliability. B. Insignificance.
C. Contradictoriness. D. Backwardness.
23. As for the experiments, the author thinks that _________.
A. participants’ desire for easy reading affected the result
B. experimenters' capability to judge poems was shown
C. the assessment features weakened the credibility
D. deep analysis of poems should serve as the basis
24. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Power of AI’s Words: Can Humans Grasp?
B. Human Poetry: The Last Art in the Age of AI?
C. AI-generated Poetry: A New Renaissance?
D. Voices of the Heart: Can AI Bridge?
【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C 24. B
【解析】
【导语】文章讨论了关于AI生成诗歌与人类诗歌比较的研究报告,作者对报告中的实验设计和结论提出了质疑,并表达了对诗歌本质和人类情感价值的关注。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“A newly published report claims “AI-generated poetry is indistinguishable from human-written poetry and is rated more favorably”, which has drawn massive attention to this criticized yet beloved art form.(一份最新发布的报告称,“人工智能生成的诗歌与人类创作的诗歌已难以区分,且(AI诗歌)得到的好评更多”,这一说法让这种既饱受争议又备受喜爱的艺术形式引发了广泛关注。)”以及第二段中“Reports like these are important to investigate as they have practical and potentially serious consequences.(像这样的报告值得深入调查,因为它们具有实际的、潜在严重的后果。)”可知,如果人们认为诗歌无足轻重,才会否定诗歌相关事业的重要性,因此 nugacity含义为“无价值、不重要”,与 Insignificance意思相近。
【22题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“They can strengthen what some argue is the art form’s nugacity, which in turn helps fuel arguments that discredit the importance of teaching poetry and supporting passionate poets, as well as nonprofit poetry organizations and publishers dedicated to their work.(这些说法可能会强化某些人所主张诗歌这种艺术形式具有nugacity,它们会加剧某些人认为该艺术形式空洞无物的观点,进而助长贬低诗歌教学重要性、不支持有激情的诗人,以及削弱致力于诗歌事业的非营利组织和出版社公信力的论调。)”可知,划线词的下文提到这些说法被用来贬低教授诗歌的重要性,可推理出此处说的是有些人认为这种艺术形式“无足轻重”,所以,划线词nugacity 意为“无足轻重的”。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“However, it should be noted that, among the characteristics, only rhyme is a specific and distinct formal element, making it easily recognizable. Rhyme, therefore, as in the previous experiment, could have influenced results favorably in the direction of ChatGPT.(然而,应该注意的是,在这些特征中,只有押韵是一个具体且独特的形式元素,使其容易被识别。因此,就像在之前的实验中一样,押韵可能对有利于ChatGPT的结果产生了影响。)”可知,押韵可能对有利于ChatGPT的结果产生了影响,可推理出作者认为实验中仅凭“押韵”这一特征来评估诗歌,削弱了实验结果的可信度。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。 文章开篇引出“AI诗歌超越人类诗歌”的争议性报告,随后通过分析实验漏洞、反驳错误前提,最终在结尾段指出人类渴望被同类灵魂引导的本质,强调了人类诗歌的不可替代性。B选项“Human Poetry: The Last Art in the Age of AI?(人类诗歌:AI时代的最后艺术?)”既呼应了AI的挑战,又点明了文章捍卫人类诗歌核心价值的主旨。
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,共 10 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In 2025, I averaged 9,370 steps a day. My daily aim? Ten thousand steps. Because of goals.
____25____In the 1960s, a company in Japan invented an early step counter. Because the Japanese character for “10,000” looks like a person walking, the company called its device the 10,000-Step Meter.
Step-counting devices such as watches and phones came into widespread use only in the past two decades. Once they did, scientists needed to follow users for long periods to learn anything meaningful about the number of steps that affects life span, cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness or anything else.____26____
The current physical activity guidelines published in 2018 were still based on time not on steps.____27____Nearly all were based on self-reports of physical activity, a measure that is not exact. It’s the equivalent of guessing how much time I spent walking last year.
Now evidence about steps is starting to come in. In 2023, experts published one of the first studies specifically investigating the actual effects of meeting the 10,000-step goal. Several other large studies followed. The result? Some movement is good, and more is better, but the benefits level off at some point.
Your personal peak depends on your age. People younger than 60 should indeed walk 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day to get the best benefits. People older than 60 show the most benefit between 6,000 and 8,000 steps. The difference is energy consumption. Walking for 60 minutes at 3.3 miles an hour and running for 30 minutes at six miles an hour use the same amount of energy. Kraus, an epidemiologist, says: “Per step, older people expend more energy.” ____28____
Newer studies are moving beyond death rates to ask questions about the way steps may contribute to diabetes prevention or help to control blood pressure and weight. ____29____Full results are not in yet, so Kraus’ advice in the meantime is: “Tailor your steps according to what you are trying to achieve and according to who you are.”
A. And until recently, that hadn’t happened.
B. If they get 10,000 steps, it seems like a good goal.
C. Experts reviewed hundreds of studies on exercise and health.
D. The goal, after all, is not just to live longer but to live healthier.
E. As a result, they need fewer steps to achieve the same benefits.
F. Yet the concept of taking 10,000 steps a day to maintain health is rooted not in science.
G. Studies indicate that a decade of consistently hitting that goal translates to about an extra year and a half of life.
【答案】25. F 26. A 27. C 28. E 29. D
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍日行万步目标的起源、相关科学研究,阐述不同人群的最佳步数及步数运动的多元健康价值。
【25题详解】
下文“In the 1960s, a company in Japan invented an early step counter. Because the Japanese character for “10,000” looks like a person walking, the company called its device the 10,000-Step Meter.(20 世纪 60 年代,日本一家公司发明了早期计步器。由于日语“万”字形似行走的人,该公司将设备命名为万步计)”介绍了万步目标的商业起源、并无科学依据。F选项“Yet the concept of taking 10,000 steps a day to maintain health is rooted not in science.(然而,日行万步以养生的理念并非源于科学)”承接上文的万步目标,引出下文的起源介绍,转折逻辑清晰。
【26题详解】
上文“Once they did, scientists needed to follow users for long periods to learn anything meaningful about the number of steps that affects life span, cardiovascular fitness or anything else.(计步设备普及后,科学家需要长期追踪使用者,才能获知影响寿命、心血管健康等的有效步数数据)”说明科研需要长期追踪数据。A选项“And until recently, that hadn’t happened.(而直到近期,这类研究才得以开展)”承接上文,说明此前缺乏相关研究,为后文旧指南不完善、新研究出炉做铺垫,逻辑连贯。
【27题详解】
上文“The current physical activity guidelines published in 2018 were still based on time not on steps.(2018 年发布的现行运动指南仍以时长为依据,而非步数)”指出新的运动指南仍以时长为依据,下文“Nearly all were based on self-reports of physical activity, a measure that is not exact.(这些研究几乎都基于运动自我报告,数据并不精准)”介绍过往研究的弊端。C选项“Experts reviewed hundreds of studies on exercise and health.(专家梳理了数百项运动与健康相关研究)”衔接上下文,引出下文对这些研究缺陷的介绍,语意通顺。
【28题详解】
上文“Per step, older people expend more energy.(老年人每走一步消耗的能量更多)”说明老年人步数耗能特点。E选项“As a result, they need fewer steps to achieve the same benefits.(因此,他们只需更少步数就能获得同等健康益处)”由上文原因推出对应结果,呼应前文老年人6000至8000步为最佳步数的结论。
【29题详解】
上文“Newer studies are moving beyond death rates to ask questions about the way steps may contribute to diabetes prevention or help to control blood pressure and weight.(新研究不再局限于死亡率,开始探究步数对预防糖尿病、调控血压和体重的作用)”说明步数运动的多元健康意义。D选项“The goal, after all, is not just to live longer but to live healthier.(归根结底,运动的目标不只是延长寿命,更是提升健康质量)”承接上文的多元健康功效,契合新研究方向,衔接自然。

第一节(共 4 小题;第 30、31 小题各 2 分,第 32 小题 3 分,第 33 小题 5 分,共 12 分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
The distinction between sympathy and empathy is such a fine line in a dictionary. But there is a huge difference in real life.
It was an icy morning; the road was very slippery. I had seen two cyclists fall off their bicycles already. “They should be more careful,” I thought. Then I braked (刹车), the world turned upside down, and suddenly there were three splatted cyclists. Some people came to help, holding hands and taking small careful steps so they didn’t fall over, too. One woman lifted the bike, lifted me, and got me safe. She told me to go to hospital.
“I’m fine,” I gasped, holding my ribs (肋骨) tight. I eventually cracked three days later when I woke up barely able to move.
The doctor — a not unbusy man — gave me a quick exam, diagnosed me, and then with less drama than I would have liked told me there was nothing to be done and I would be in a lot of pain for a while.
Over the next few weeks, I came to understand the complaints of older people. Putting on my socks was a victory. If I dropped something, it stayed dropped. I came to understand why disabled restrooms have handles. Coughs were extreme suffering. There was a three-week period in February when I knew exactly how many times I sneezed. Sometimes, my wife laughed when I struggled with ordinary daily chores. I never laughed, I pointed out, when years before she hurt her knee skiing and hopped along on crutches (拐杖) like a lame duck.
But beneath the joke, something shifted. I have always been sympathetic to people in long-term pain, but it took falling off my bike to be empathetic. Even then, I still cannot say I truly understand it, as there was one crucial difference: I knew my pain would come to an end. Many people do not have that comfort.
30. What happened to the author on an icy morning?
____________________________________________________________
31. What did the doctor conclude after examining the author?
____________________________________________________________
32. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
The author came to understand the complaints of older people when he hopped along on crutches.
____________________________________________________________
33. Do you think we can truly understand the pain of others? Why or why not? (In about 40 words)
____________________________________________________________
【答案】30. He fell off his bicycle and cracked three ribs.
31. Nothing could be done for his injury and he would suffer great pain for a period of time.
32. The author came to understand the complaints of older people when he hopped along on crutches.
Reason: According to the passage, the author understood the complaints of older people after falling off the bike with hurt ribs. It was his wife who once hopped along on crutches because of a hurt knee, not the author himself.
33. I think we can only partly feel others’ pain. Similar experiences bring empathy, yet our pain is temporary while some people’s suffering lasts forever, so full understanding is impossible.(答案不唯一)
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述作者在结冰路面骑车摔倒肋骨受伤,亲身承受病痛后分清同情与共情,感悟亲身经历苦难才能真切体会他人的痛苦。
【30题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Then I braked (刹车), the world turned upside down, and suddenly there were three splatted cyclists.(然后我刹车,整个人失去平衡摔倒在地,路上一共有三名骑车人摔倒了。)”以及第三段中的“I eventually cracked three days later when I woke up barely able to move.(三天后我醒来几乎无法动弹,才发现肋骨骨折了。)”可知,他骑自行车摔了,三天后发现摔断了三根肋骨。
【31题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“The doctor — a not unbusy man — gave me a quick exam, diagnosed me, and then with less drama than I would have liked told me there was nothing to be done and I would be in a lot of pain for a while.(这位医生平日里十分忙碌,他快速给我做了检查、确诊病情,而后轻描淡写地告知我没有什么有效的治疗办法,接下来一段时间我都会剧痛难忍,那淡然的态度让我难以接受。)”可知,医生告知他,他的伤势没有办法医治,在接下来一段时间里他会承受剧烈的疼痛。
【32题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第五段中的“Over the next few weeks, I came to understand the complaints of older people.(在接下来的几周里,我体会到了老年人的各种苦楚。)”和“I never laughed, I pointed out, when years before she hurt her knee skiing and hopped along on crutches (拐杖) like a lame duck.(多年前妻子滑雪伤到膝盖,拄着拐杖一瘸一拐走路时,我从没有取笑她。)”可知作者是在骑车摔伤肋骨之后,才理解了老年人的抱怨。曾经拄着拐杖一瘸一拐行走的是他的妻子(因膝盖受伤),并非作者本人,所以when he hopped along on crutches表述错误。
【33题详解】
开放性试题。结合文章,答案符合逻辑和字数要求即可。例如可回答:我认为我们只能体会到他人痛苦的一小部分。相似的经历能催生共情,但我们的伤痛只是暂时的,有些人的苦难却长久相伴,因此我们永远无法完全感同身受。
