B For generations, the Haida people of the Pacific Northwest had lived in harmony with the salmon that swam up the rivers each year. The fish were not just food — they were the heart of their culture, their economy, and their identity. But when a hydroelectric dam was built on the Skeena River in the 1970s, the salmon runs collapsed. By the time 12-year-old Kaya was born, fewer than one in a hundred salmon made it back to their spawning grounds. Kaya’s grandfather, Old Joseph, spent his entire life fighting to save the salmon — protesting the dam, writing to the government, and teaching children about the fish’s importance. But in his later years, he lost hope. “The river is dying,” he would tell Kaya. “And when the river dies, we die too.” When Old Joseph passed away, he left Kaya a wooden box carved with salmon patterns. Inside, she found his journals, filled with decades of observations about the river, and a single seed: the seed of a cottonwood tree that had once lined the riverbanks. “Plant it by the water,” his final note read. “It will watch over the salmon.” Kaya planted the seed that spring. For years, she tended the tree and walked along the river, counting salmon. Most days she saw none. Her friends laughed at her, and the government told her the salmon were gone forever. But Kaya refused to give up. She not only cared for the tree but also planted hundreds of native plants along the riverbanks, restoring the salmon’s habitat. When the cottonwood turned ten, something miraculous happened. A single salmon appeared, then another, and by season’s end, hundreds had returned. Scientists were puzzled, but Kaya understood: the salmon came back because someone cared enough to wait and act. “Conservation is not something we do to nature but with nature,” Kaya said. “We are not masters of the river. We are its guardians.” Today, the Skeena River salmon runs are stronger than in 50 years, and Kaya teaches village children to care for the river — just as her grandfather taught her. 24. What led to the sharp decline of salmon runs? A. Overfishing by the Haida people. B. The planting of cottonwood trees. C. Pollution from nearby factories. D. The construction of a dam on the river. 25. What can be inferred about Old Joseph from the passage? A. He doubted the salmon would ever return. B. He believed the dam would benefit the river. C. He considered the government’s efforts effective. D. He thought Kaya should move away from the river. 26. What did Kaya do to help the salmon return? A. She wrote letters to the government. B. She taught children about salmon. C. She observed them like her grandfather. D. She planted native plants along the riverbanks. 27. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Cottonwood Tree That Saved a River B. The Haida People and Their Ancient Salmon Culture C. How a Young Girl Brought Salmon Back to the Skeena D. Guardians of the River: A Story of Hope and Persistence C The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala featured an amazing mix of AI-powered robots and human dancers. Their smooth, well-timed moves and the robots’ ability to adjust to changing stage conditions in real time amazed millions of viewers. But this performance was more than just a show — it marked a major shift: robots are no longer just lab machines; they are now becoming part of everyday social life. From shopping malls to school classrooms, and even in some homes, robots are starting to appear in places where only humans used to be. At the core of this transformation are smart self-learning algorithms and environmental sensors that endow robots with a form of situated cognition — the ability to understand what’s going on around them, process different types of information, and respond appropriately. Unlike older machines that could only follow fixed, preset commands, today’s robots can learn and develop over time. By facing new situations and repeating tasks, they constantly improve their skills. This kind of adaptive intelligence makes them useful in many areas: in education as personal tutors, in healthcare for rehabilitation and elderly care, in public services for logistics and disaster response, and in homes for managing complex chores. For example, a robot can now learn to set a dinner table just by watching someone do it once, and then adjust if the plates or cups are moved to a different spot. However, the rise of such intelligent machines also brings up serious social questions that are not easy to answer. Relying too much on technology could weaken basic human abilities — reducing face-to-face interaction and possibly limiting creative problem-solving. If children grow up asking robots for all the answers, will they still learn how to think for themselves? Moreover, the rules for making ethical decisions by robots are still not well developed. For instance, if a home robot sees someone get hurt, should it call for help, or wait for a command? And privacy concerns about constant data collection need urgent attention — many people don’t realize that robots with cameras and microphones could be recording their daily lives. To guide this technology in a direction that benefits humanity, we need more than just laws and regulations. We need a shared public conversation to make sure AI strengthens, rather than weakens, human independence and well-being. This means involving not only engineers and policymakers, but also teachers, parents, and community members in deciding how robots should be used — and where they should be kept out. 28. What can we learn about the robots in the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala? A. They performed better than human dancers. B. They could adjust their actions in real time. C. They were mainly used for lab experiments. D. They followed pre-set moves without any change. 29. The underlined phrase “situated cognition” in paragraph 2 most likely means ____. A. the ability to follow fixed instructions B. the knowledge gained from memory C. the capacity to comprehend context and react properly D. the skill of performing tasks without any outside information 30. What can be inferred from the example of a robot learning to set a dinner table? A. Robots are better at household tasks than humans. B. Robots can learn and improve through observation. C. Most families already use robots for daily chores. D. Setting a table is the most difficult task for robots. 31. Why does the author mention the concerns about the rise of intelligent machines? A. To warn that people’s privacy could be violated. B. To show the danger of relying too much on technology. C. To suggest that the use of intelligent machines should be postponed. D. To call for public discussion and guide technology toward human well-being. D In the early 2000s, the average human attention span was twelve seconds. By 2025, it had fallen to eight seconds. While this statistic has been debated, the underlying trend is clear: in an age of infinite scrolling, push notifications and fifteen-second videos, sustained focus has become a rare and precious resource. The question is not merely whether we are becoming more distracted, but what this distraction is doing to our capacity for deep thought. The technology industry has built its fortunes on what the philosopher Matthew Crawford calls “the culture of the glance”. Social media feeds, news alerts and short-form video platforms are designed to catch people’s eyes in brief, intense bursts. Every swipe delivers a small hit of dopamine (多巴胺), a neurotransmitter associated with reward and pleasure. Over time, the brain adapts to this rhythm, making it increasingly difficult to engage with slower, more demanding forms of cognition — reading a long article, following a complex argument, or simply sitting with a difficult problem without reaching for a phone. This is not merely a matter of personal habit. Psychologists at the University of California have found that after being interrupted by a notification, it takes an average of twenty-three minutes to return to the original task with the same level of focus. In office settings, constant email and chat interruptions cost the US economy an estimated $650 billion per year in lost productivity. More troubling, however, are the cognitive consequences that cannot be measured in dollars. When the mind is fragmented, it loses the capacity for what the poet John Keats called “negative capability” — the ability to remain in uncertainty, mystery and doubt without impatiently grasping for facts or answers. Some critics argue that humans have always adapted to new media environments, and that today’s youth are simply developing a different set of cognitive skills — rapid scanning, multitasking, and quick reaction. There is truth to this. However, neuroscience suggests that brain plasticity is not infinite. Skills that are practised repeatedly become stronger; skills that are neglected weaken. If we spend our days skipping from one short stimulus to the next, we will keep strengthening the neural pathways for distraction while allowing those for deep thought to gradually disappear. The solution is not to abandon digital devices — that is neither realistic nor desirable. But it does involve a conscious act of resistance: carving out periods of low-stimulation, single-task focus. Reading a physical book for an hour. Taking a walk without a phone. Writing a letter by hand. These small practices do not fight the attention economy by attacking it directly, but by building alternative mental habits. In the end, the question is not whether technology is good or bad, but what kind of mind we wish to have. 32. According to paragraph 2, how is the brain affected by “the culture of the glance”? A. It adapts to a rhythm of brief, rewarding bursts. B. It becomes more efficient at processing long articles. C. It develops a permanent resistance to dopamine release. D. It handles slower, more challenging tasks without difficulty. 33. What does the author imply about the “negative capability” in paragraph 3? A. It is a valuable mental ability that we all need to develop. B. It has little effect on workplace productivity or economic output. C. It is being weakened by frequent disruptions from digital devices. D. It should be replaced by the habit of seeking immediate facts or answers. 34. How does the author respond to the argument that humans can adapt to new media environments? A. By agreeing that adaptation is possible and poses little risks. B. By claiming that young people are more capable of adapting. C. By proving that multitasking is actually a superior cognitive skill. D. By pointing out that ignored skills weaken due to limited brain plasticity. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In today’s fast-paced job market, the once-crucial college degree is beginning to lose its golden glow. Once the definitive gateway to a stable career, a diploma (学位证书) is no longer the sole requirement for landing top roles in tech and business. Skill-based hiring is reshaping how companies find and evaluate talent. ____35____ It’s a reimagining of how talent is identified, assessed, and valued in the 21st-century workforce. For decades, academic degrees were considered the ultimate proof of intelligence and job readiness. A diploma from a prestigious university all but guaranteed a foot in the door at leading companies. ____36____ Online learning platforms began offering specialized courses that taught in-demand skills — often faster, cheaper, and more relevant than traditional universities. Gradually, companies started questioning whether a degree was truly the best indicator of job performance. In recent years, major employers have taken bold steps to remove degree barriers. ____37____ Recruiters attach greater importance to certifications, hands-on project portfolios and practical assessments. They also use real-world task simulations to evaluate candidates more accurately. ____38____ For ordinary job hunters, self-taught learners can compete for roles once reserved for graduates with advanced degrees. For employers, skills-based hiring brings plenty of practical advantages. It helps them cut hiring costs and build a more diverse workforce. However, it also requires more reliable tools to verify candidates’ real skills. The future of work belongs to those who can demonstrate competence, not just diplomas. ____39____ Instead of focusing on applicants’ school backgrounds, modern employers care more about their practical abilities and execution. A. This shift isn’t just a passing trend. B. This shift brings tangible benefits to both job seekers and employers. C. A new employment standard regards degrees as important as practical abilities. D. Many large enterprises have canceled strict academic qualification restrictions. E. However, the education industry has undergone huge changes in the digital era. F. Some traditional industries still require advanced degrees for senior positions. G. Although degrees are still important, practical competence matters more. 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41小题各2分，第42小题3分，第43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。 For centuries, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has guided people in China to live a balanced and healthy life. Today, its influence is spreading far beyond Asia, winning the hearts of young people, health experts and even mainstream medical communities around the world. Unlike many Western health trends that focus on extreme results, TCM centres on harmony and prevention. It does not just treat the body when it is sick, but aims to keep the whole system balanced before problems happen. This gentle, long-term view of health attracts those tired of fast-paced, stressful modern life. TCM encourages small daily habits — eating according to the seasons, managing emotions, and avoiding late nights — that build lasting well-being step by step. Practices like acupuncture, cupping therapy, Baduanjin and herbal teas have become especially popular globally. Many international athletes use acupuncture to help with pain and recovery. On social media, millions of people share their experiences with TCM-inspired routines, such as drinking warm water, getting enough sleep and listening to their body’s natural rhythm. Some have even replaced morning coffee with ginger tea. Growing scientific research also supports these ancient practices. Studies show that regular gentle movement like Baduanjin can lower stress hormones, improve sleep quality and boost mood. Clinical trials have found that acupuncture can reduce chronic back pain with fewer side effects than some conventional drugs. More universities and hospitals in Europe and North America now offer TCM courses and services, making it part of modern healthcare. TCM’s global rise is not a passing trend. It represents a shift in how people think about health: from quick fixes and extreme routines to slow, steady care for both body and mind. For many, the ancient Chinese idea of living in harmony with nature has become a simple, powerful way to stay healthy in today’s busy world. 40. Why are many people tired of modern life attracted to TCM? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. What evidence shows that TCM is being accepted by modern healthcare systems in Europe and North America? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ TCM encourages small daily habits and intense exercise to stay healthy. 43. Do you think TCM is a good approach to health? Why? Give an example from your experience.

The fish were not just food — they were the heart of their culture, their economy, and their identity. But when a hydroelectric dam was built on the Skeena River in the 1970s, the salmon runs collapsed. By the time 12-year-old Kaya was born, fewer than one in a hundred salmon made it back to their spawning grounds. Kaya’s grandfather, Old Joseph, spent his entire life fighting to save the salmon — protesting the dam, writing to the government, and teaching children about the fish’s importance. But in his later years, he lost hope. “The river is dying,” he would tell Kaya. “And when the river dies, we die too.” When Old Joseph passed away, he left Kaya a wooden box carved with salmon patterns. Inside, she found his journals, filled with decades of observations about the river, and a single seed: the seed of a cottonwood tree that had once lined the riverbanks. “Plant it by the water,” his final note read. “It will watch over the salmon.” Kaya planted the seed that spring. For years, she tended the tree and walked along the river, counting salmon. Most days she saw none. Her friends laughed at her, and the government told her the salmon were gone forever. But Kaya refused to give up. She not only cared for the tree but also planted hundreds of native plants along the riverbanks, restoring the salmon’s habitat. When the cottonwood turned ten, something miraculous happened. A single salmon appeared, then another, and by season’s end, hundreds had returned. Scientists were puzzled, but Kaya understood: the salmon came back because someone cared enough to wait and act. “Conservation is not something we do to nature but with nature,” Kaya said. “We are not masters of the river. We are its guardians.” Today, the Skeena River salmon runs are stronger than in 50 years, and Kaya teaches village children to care for the river — just as her grandfather taught her. 24. What led to the sharp decline of salmon runs? A. Overfishing by the Haida people. B. The planting of cottonwood trees. C. Pollution from nearby factories. D. The construction of a dam on the river. 25. What can be inferred about Old Joseph from the passage? A. He doubted the salmon would ever return. B. He believed the dam would benefit the river. C. He considered the government’s efforts effective. D. He thought Kaya should move away from the river. 26. What did Kaya do to help the salmon return? A. She wrote letters to the government. B. She taught children about salmon. C. She observed them like her grandfather. D. She planted native plants along the riverbanks. 27. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Cottonwood Tree That Saved a River B. The Haida People and Their Ancient Salmon Culture C. How a Young Girl Brought Salmon Back to the Skeena D. Guardians of the River: A Story of Hope and Persistence 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了太平洋西北地区的海达族人中，女孩卡亚在爷爷的影响下，坚持多年修复斯基纳河的鲑鱼栖息地，最终让濒临消失的鲑鱼洄游种群恢复，并传承守护河流理念的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But when a hydroelectric dam was built on the Skeena River in the 1970s, the salmon runs collapsed. (但20世纪70年代斯基纳河修建了水电站大坝后，鲑鱼洄游种群就崩溃了。)”可知，河流上大坝的建造导致鲑鱼数量锐减。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But in his later years, he lost hope. ‘The river is dying,’ he would tell Kaya. ‘And when the river dies, we die too.’ (但在晚年，他已经失去了希望，他会告诉卡亚：‘河流正在死去，河流死了，我们也会死。’)”可推知，老约瑟夫认为河流已经没救了，怀疑鲑鱼永远不会回来了。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“She not only cared for the tree but also planted hundreds of native plants along the riverbanks, restoring the salmon’s habitat. (她不仅照料那棵树，还在河岸种植了数百种原生植物，修复鲑鱼的栖息地。)”可知，卡亚通过在河岸种植原生植物帮助鲑鱼回归。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。结合全文可知，文章不仅讲述了卡亚拯救鲑鱼的过程，还涵盖了爷爷老约瑟夫的坚持与精神传承，结尾点出“We are not masters of the river. We are its guardians. (我们不是河流的主人，我们是它的守护者。)”，核心传递了守护、坚持与希望的主题。选项D“Guardians of the River: A Story of Hope and Persistence (河流的守护者：一个关于希望与坚持的故事)”涵盖了核心主旨与精神内核，适合作为文章的标题。 C The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala featured an amazing mix of AI-powered robots and human dancers. Their smooth, well-timed moves and the robots’ ability to adjust to changing stage conditions in real time amazed millions of viewers. But this performance was more than just a show — it marked a major shift: robots are no longer just lab machines; they are now becoming part of everyday social life. From shopping malls to school classrooms, and even in some homes, robots are starting to appear in places where only humans used to be. At the core of this transformation are smart self-learning algorithms and environmental sensors that endow robots with a form of situated cognition — the ability to understand what’s going on around them, process different types of information, and respond appropriately. Unlike older machines that could only follow fixed, preset commands, today’s robots can learn and develop over time. By facing new situations and repeating tasks, they constantly improve their skills. This kind of adaptive intelligence makes them useful in many areas: in education as personal tutors, in healthcare for rehabilitation and elderly care, in public services for logistics and disaster response, and in homes for managing complex chores. For example, a robot can now learn to set a dinner table just by watching someone do it once, and then adjust if the plates or cups are moved to a different spot. However, the rise of such intelligent machines also brings up serious social questions that are not easy to answer. Relying too much on technology could weaken basic human abilities — reducing face-to-face interaction and possibly limiting creative problem-solving. If children grow up asking robots for all the answers, will they still learn how to think for themselves? Moreover, the rules for making ethical decisions by robots are still not well developed. For instance, if a home robot sees someone get hurt, should it call for help, or wait for a command? And privacy concerns about constant data collection need urgent attention — many people don’t realize that robots with cameras and microphones could be recording their daily lives. To guide this technology in a direction that benefits humanity, we need more than just laws and regulations. We need a shared public conversation to make sure AI strengthens, rather than weakens, human independence and well-being. This means involving not only engineers and policymakers, but also teachers, parents, and community members in deciding how robots should be used — and where they should be kept out. 28. What can we learn about the robots in the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala? A. They performed better than human dancers. B. They could adjust their actions in real time. C. They were mainly used for lab experiments. D. They followed pre-set moves without any change. 29. The underlined phrase “situated cognition” in paragraph 2 most likely means ____. A. the ability to follow fixed instructions B. the knowledge gained from memory C. the capacity to comprehend context and react properly D. the skill of performing tasks without any outside information 30. What can be inferred from the example of a robot learning to set a dinner table? A. Robots are better at household tasks than humans. B. Robots can learn and improve through observation. C. Most families already use robots for daily chores. D. Setting a table is the most difficult task for robots. 31. Why does the author mention the concerns about the rise of intelligent machines? A. To warn that people’s privacy could be violated. B. To show the danger of relying too much on technology. C. To suggest that the use of intelligent machines should be postponed. D. To call for public discussion and guide technology toward human well-being. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】文章以2026年央视春晚机器人与人类舞者的合作表演引入，介绍了具备情境认知能力的智能机器人正逐步走入人类日常生活的发展现状，分析了智能机器人的优势，也提出了其发展引发的诸多社会问题，最后呼吁多方参与共同讨论，引导人工智能技术造福人类。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Their smooth, well-timed moves and the robots’ ability to adjust to changing stage conditions in real time amazed millions of viewers. (它们流畅合拍的动作，以及机器人实时调整以适应舞台变化条件的能力震惊了数百万观众。)”可知，春晚的机器人具备实时调整动作的能力。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“At the core of this transformation are smart self-learning algorithms and environmental sensors that endow robots with a form of situated cognition — the ability to understand what’s going on around them, process different types of information, and respond appropriately. (这场转变的核心是智能自我学习算法和环境传感器，它们赋予机器人一种situated cognition——即理解周围情况、处理各类信息、做出恰当反应的能力。)”可知，破折号后的内容直接解释了situated cognition，含义为“理解环境并做出恰当反应的能力”，对应选项C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Unlike older machines that could only follow fixed, preset commands, today’s robots can learn and develop over time. By facing new situations and repeating tasks, they constantly improve their skills. For example, a robot can now learn to set a dinner table just by watching someone do it once, and then adjust if the plates or cups are moved to a different spot. (与只能遵循固定预设指令的老式机器不同，如今的机器人可以随时间学习成长。通过面对新情况、重复任务，它们会不断提升技能。例如，如今机器人只需要看别人摆一次餐桌就能学会，如果盘子或杯子被挪到别的位置，它还能调整。)”可推知，该例子说明机器人可以通过观察学习并提升能力。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。作者在第三段提出各类担忧后，在第四段点明写作意图：“To guide this technology in a direction that benefits humanity, we need more than just laws and regulations. We need a shared public conversation to make sure AI strengthens, rather than weakens, human independence and well-being. (为了引导该技术朝着造福人类的方向发展，仅靠法律法规不够，我们需要公众共同讨论，确保人工智能增强而非削弱人类的独立性与福祉。)”可推知，作者提及对智能机器兴起的担忧是为了呼吁公众讨论，引导技术造福人类。 D In the early 2000s, the average human attention span was twelve seconds. By 2025, it had fallen to eight seconds. While this statistic has been debated, the underlying trend is clear: in an age of infinite scrolling, push notifications and fifteen-second videos, sustained focus has become a rare and precious resource. The question is not merely whether we are becoming more distracted, but what this distraction is doing to our capacity for deep thought. The technology industry has built its fortunes on what the philosopher Matthew Crawford calls “the culture of the glance”. Social media feeds, news alerts and short-form video platforms are designed to catch people’s eyes in brief, intense bursts. Every swipe delivers a small hit of dopamine (多巴胺), a neurotransmitter associated with reward and pleasure. Over time, the brain adapts to this rhythm, making it increasingly difficult to engage with slower, more demanding forms of cognition — reading a long article, following a complex argument, or simply sitting with a difficult problem without reaching for a phone. This is not merely a matter of personal habit. Psychologists at the University of California have found that after being interrupted by a notification, it takes an average of twenty-three minutes to return to the original task with the same level of focus. In office settings, constant email and chat interruptions cost the US economy an estimated $650 billion per year in lost productivity. More troubling, however, are the cognitive consequences that cannot be measured in dollars. When the mind is fragmented, it loses the capacity for what the poet John Keats called “negative capability” — the ability to remain in uncertainty, mystery and doubt without impatiently grasping for facts or answers. Some critics argue that humans have always adapted to new media environments, and that today’s youth are simply developing a different set of cognitive skills — rapid scanning, multitasking, and quick reaction. There is truth to this. However, neuroscience suggests that brain plasticity is not infinite. Skills that are practised repeatedly become stronger; skills that are neglected weaken. If we spend our days skipping from one short stimulus to the next, we will keep strengthening the neural pathways for distraction while allowing those for deep thought to gradually disappear. The solution is not to abandon digital devices — that is neither realistic nor desirable. But it does involve a conscious act of resistance: carving out periods of low-stimulation, single-task focus. Reading a physical book for an hour. Taking a walk without a phone. Writing a letter by hand. These small practices do not fight the attention economy by attacking it directly, but by building alternative mental habits. In the end, the question is not whether technology is good or bad, but what kind of mind we wish to have. 32. According to paragraph 2, how is the brain affected by “the culture of the glance”? A. It adapts to a rhythm of brief, rewarding bursts. B. It becomes more efficient at processing long articles. C. It develops a permanent resistance to dopamine release. D. It handles slower, more challenging tasks without difficulty. 33. What does the author imply about the “negative capability” in paragraph 3? A. It is a valuable mental ability that we all need to develop. B. It has little effect on workplace productivity or economic output. C. It is being weakened by frequent disruptions from digital devices. D. It should be replaced by the habit of seeking immediate facts or answers. 34. How does the author respond to the argument that humans can adapt to new media environments? A. By agreeing that adaptation is possible and poses little risks. B. By claiming that young people are more capable of adapting. C. By proving that multitasking is actually a superior cognitive skill. D. By pointing out that ignored skills weaken due to limited brain plasticity. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍数字媒介使人类专注力持续下降，剖析碎片化信息对深度思考能力的损害并给出平衡使用电子设备的解决办法。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Every swipe delivers a small hit of dopamine (多巴胺), a neurotransmitter associated with reward and pleasure. Over time, the brain adapts to this rhythm, making it increasingly difficult to engage with slower, more demanding forms of cognition. (每一次滑动都会带来一小波多巴胺刺激，多巴胺是一种和奖赏、愉悦相关的神经递质。久而久之，大脑会适应这种节奏，使人越来越难以投入节奏更慢、要求更高的认知活动。)”可知，“扫视文化”会让大脑适应短暂、能带来愉悦反馈的刺激节奏。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“When the mind is fragmented, it loses the capacity for what the poet John Keats called “negative capability” — the ability to remain in uncertainty, mystery and doubt without impatiently grasping for facts or answers. ( 当思维变得碎片化时，我们会丧失诗人济慈所说的 “消极感受力”—— 一种身处未知、谜团与疑惑之中，不急于寻求事实和答案的能力。)”可知，数字设备带来的频繁干扰，正不断削弱这种能力。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“There is truth to this. However, neuroscience suggests that brain plasticity is not infinite. Skills that are practised repeatedly become stronger; skills that are neglected weaken. (这种说法有一定道理。但神经科学表明，大脑可塑性并非无限。反复练习的能力会变强；长期搁置的能力则会衰退。)”可知，作者承认人类能适应新媒体，但指出大脑可塑性有限，长期搁置不用的能力会不断衰退。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In today’s fast-paced job market, the once-crucial college degree is beginning to lose its golden glow. Once the definitive gateway to a stable career, a diploma (学位证书) is no longer the sole requirement for landing top roles in tech and business. Skill-based hiring is reshaping how companies find and evaluate talent. ____35____ It’s a reimagining of how talent is identified, assessed, and valued in the 21st-century workforce.

Today, its influence is spreading far beyond Asia, winning the hearts of young people, health experts and even mainstream medical communities around the world. Unlike many Western health trends that focus on extreme results, TCM centres on harmony and prevention. It does not just treat the body when it is sick, but aims to keep the whole system balanced before problems happen. This gentle, long-term view of health attracts those tired of fast-paced, stressful modern life. TCM encourages small daily habits — eating according to the seasons, managing emotions, and avoiding late nights — that build lasting well-being step by step. Practices like acupuncture, cupping therapy, Baduanjin and herbal teas have become especially popular globally. Many international athletes use acupuncture to help with pain and recovery. On social media, millions of people share their experiences with TCM-inspired routines, such as drinking warm water, getting enough sleep and listening to their body’s natural rhythm. Some have even replaced morning coffee with ginger tea. Growing scientific research also supports these ancient practices. Studies show that regular gentle movement like Baduanjin can lower stress hormones, improve sleep quality and boost mood. Clinical trials have found that acupuncture can reduce chronic back pain with fewer side effects than some conventional drugs. More universities and hospitals in Europe and North America now offer TCM courses and services, making it part of modern healthcare. TCM’s global rise is not a passing trend. It represents a shift in how people think about health: from quick fixes and extreme routines to slow, steady care for both body and mind. For many, the ancient Chinese idea of living in harmony with nature has become a simple, powerful way to stay healthy in today’s busy world. 40. Why are many people tired of modern life attracted to TCM? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41.

TCM encourages small daily habits — eating according to the seasons, managing emotions, and avoiding late nights — that build lasting well-being step by step. (这种温和、长远的健康观念吸引了那些厌倦了快节奏、压力大的现代生活的人。中医鼓励一些日常的小习惯——根据季节饮食、管理情绪、避免熬夜——一步步建立持久的幸福感)”可知，因为中医以温和、长远的健康观为核心，注重和谐与预防，这吸引了那些厌倦了快节奏、压力大的现代生活的人。 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段“More universities and hospitals in Europe and North America now offer TCM courses and services, making it part of modern healthcare. (如今，欧洲和北美的更多大学和医院提供中医课程和服务，使其成为现代医疗保健的一部分)”可知，欧洲和北美的更多大学和医院现在提供中医课程和服务，使其成为现代医疗保健的一部分。 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“TCM encourages small daily habits — eating according to the seasons, managing emotions, and avoiding late nights — that build lasting well-being step by step. (中医鼓励日常的小习惯——根据季节饮食、管理情绪、避免熬夜——一步步建立持久的幸福感)”及第四段“Studies show that regular gentle movement like Baduanjin can lower stress hormones, improve sleep quality and boost mood. (研究表明，像八段锦这样的规律温和运动可以降低压力荷尔蒙，改善睡眠质量并提升情绪)”可知，中医推崇的是顺应自然的日常小习惯与八段锦等温和运动，而不是高强度的剧烈锻炼。所以intense exercise表述错误。 【43题详解】 开放性题目。此题要求回答：你认为中医是健康的好方法吗？为什么？举一个你经验中的例子。答案不唯一，合理即可。可回答：是的，我认为中医是一种很好的养生方式。根据我的经验，按照中医的建议，冬天眼睛干涩时喝菊花茶，真的在不产生副作用的情况下舒缓了我的眼睛并清除了内热。 第二节(20分) 44. 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。上周你们学校开展了一次以“五育并举”为主题的教育活动。你的外国朋友Jim对此很感兴趣，发来邮件询问。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1．活动目的； 2．活动内容：德育讲座、体育比赛、艺术展览、劳动实践； 3．你的感受。 注意：1．词数100左右； 2．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 提示词：五育并举——five-education integration Dear Jim, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, Learning that you are interested in the “five-education integration” activity held in our school last week, I’m more than happy to share some details with you.
