Four years ago, Alastair Driver was made director of Rewilding Britain, a charity with a mission to shake up conservation in the UK. Rewilding, in theory, is to restore land and let nature take back control. Once he got started, he fell in love with conservation all over again. Alastair’s goal is to make the concept mainstream. So far, he’s moving in the right direction. “The British government is including rewilding in future farming policy,” he says.
If anyone knows what’s good for Britain’s wild spaces, it’s Alastair. His father was a country naturalist, so the natural world played a big role in his life from an early age. After studying ecology at university, he went on to become a conservation officer for the Thames Water Authority, where he spent 34 years preserving rivers and wetlands. Then, in 2002, Alistair took charge of the Environment Agency, shaping national policy and strategy until 2016.
Now, he believes rewilding is the next step for nature restoration in the UK and it needs to happen on a much larger scale. As such, Alastair spends most of his time travelling around the UK, meeting with landowners, advising them about the advantages of rewilding their land, and offering practical tips for getting started. In just four years, he’s seen a massive uptake in interest. In the early days, Alastair would literally ring around his contact list to get people involved; now, he can hardly cope with emails and calls coming his way. Part of this change is a symptom of the bigger environmental challenges facing mankind. “People are more aware of climate change and the biodiversity crisis,” he says.
Towards the end of 2020, with Alastair’s continuous efforts, the Rewilding Network was launched, a platform where farmers and landowners can connect, share ideas, and seek expert advice. Currently, just over 200, 000 acres of land are being rewilded through the network. For Alastair, it’s a huge step in the right direction.
4. What is Alastair’s goal in Rewilding?
A. To regain his interest in conservation.
B. To force the government to make policies.
C. To get the idea recognized by most people.
D. To advertise the charity for more donations.
5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. What Alastair studied in the past.
B. When Alastair started conservation.
C. How Alastair’s father influences him.
D. Why Alastair knows much about nature.
6. Why does people’s attitude towards rewilding change?
A. Alastair puts efforts to promote rewilding.
B. Alastair has faith in the value of rewilding.
C. People face fewer environmental challenges.
D. People are taught measures to rewild the land.
7. What can we learn from Alastair’s story?
A. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
B. Birds of a feather flock together.
C. A devoted soul can achieve his goal.
D. A man becomes learned by asking questions.
C
Like many people over the past years, I have found myself switching to audiobooks as my main means of reading literature. After days of looking at my laptop, I find it far more comfortable to “read with my ears” while my eyes are resting. My consumption of new books has doubled as a result — but a recent paper makes me wonder if this will come at the price of my comprehension. When we listen to text, it seems, we may engage in less thinking and rely more on instinct (直觉) to evaluate its content.
The study comes from Boaz Keysar and Janet Geipel, both then at the University of Chicago, and it draws from a mental process model popularized in Daniel Kahneman’s best-selling book Thinking, Fast and Slow. According to this view of the mind, we have two ways of assessing information. System I is instinctive, relying on instinct and feeling. It is quick, but at the risk of misinformation and thinking mistake. System II is analytical: When it is engaged, we think our way through the materials step by step. It is more effortful but also more sensible.
Geipel and Keysar investigated whether the sensory style — seeing or hearing — of the information would make a difference. They found that it did: When answering simple‑but‑misleading questions, participants were significantly more likely to make errors when the sentences were spoken out loud rather than written. The researchers repeated the experiment with a greater range of tasks, in more diverse populations. The results were the same: when listening rather than reading, people were more likely to depend on system I.
A greater reliance on instinct could be a problem if we are consuming information that needs logical examination. If I am tackling a book about science I want to be sure I am fully engaged, not just nodding along the vague arguments. For this reason, I will return to reading non‑fiction with my eyes rather than my ears. But I won’t stop listening to novels. If I’m enjoying a story, I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions while my critical mind takes a break.
8. Why does the author prefer audiobooks?
A. They provide better comprehension.
B. They allow the eyes to have a break.
C. They are cheaper than physical books.
D. They are more popular among friends.
9. What does the study conducted by Geipel and Keysar aim to investigate?
A. The popularity of audiobooks.
B. The effects of visual processing.
C. The roles of sensory styles in comprehension.
D. The impact of reading on cognitive development.
10. What causes the author to return to reading non‑fiction with eyes?
A. The need for logical analysis.
B. An interest in critical thinking.
C. A preference for visual learning.
D. The intention to improve efficiency.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards audiobooks?
A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
D
Imagine you’re out for an evening walk in a foreign city, looking to find a restaurant for dinner. How to pick the best place for a much‑needed meal? If you’re like most people, you will look for the busiest restaurant with the most diners because its popularity is bound to reflect the quality of food and service. But is this true?
In tourist areas, which lack regular, local customers, the number of diners is unlikely to hold information about the quality of the meal. Instead, bigger crowds could have come about at random, and here’s why: Early diners with no meaningful cues as to which restaurant to choose may have picked their evening restaurant randomly, for example, selecting the place with the nicest name, the smiliest waiter, or the prettiest flowers on the tables. Subsequent passers‑by may have misinterpreted their restaurant choice as a well‑informed decision and blindly followed their example.
This could have resulted in a snow‑ball effect, whereby ever‑increasing numbers of customers were attracted to the restaurant in question, creating a false impression of endorsement. In this case, following the example of others could have led to a less satisfactory dinner choice in an overcrowded restaurant. This is typical of herd behavior.
Herding can appear to make a lot of sense. The so‑called “wisdom of crowds” suggests that average judgments of large groups of people often outperform individual choices. Furthermore, following the crowd appears to offer protection and comfort — after all, there’s “safety in numbers” — while helping to maintain a favorable reputation. Finally, following the herd reduces the effort needed to make a personal or unique decision; it is therefore an easy option.
However, herd behavior, while common and easy to explain, holds significant dangers. Contrary to the “wisdom of crowds”, which happens when the judgments of individual group members are independently collected to produce an average opinion, herd behavior typically relys on “information cascades (literally waterfalls)”, where people take on others’ beliefs or copy their choices without critically considering the reasons behind. This frequently leads to the imitation of unreasonable or simply stupid behavior.
12. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To compare local and tourist dining habits.
B. To introduce a common belief and pose a question.
C. To criticize tourists for making poor dinner choices.
D. To describe a typical evening scene in a foreign city.
13. What does the underlined word “endorsement” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Approval. B. Efficiency. C. Knowledge. D. Sincerity.
14. Which of the following can contribute to a better informed choice?
A. Safety in numbers. B. Herd behavior.
C. Wisdom of crowds. D. Information cascades.
15. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Trusting the Majority: A Smart Strategy.
B. Following the Crowd: A Seemingly Quick Fix.
C. Eating Out in a Foreign City: A Practical Guide.
D. Imitating the Herd: An Easy and Natural Choice.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Guess what — today’s computer keyboard comes from a keyboard that did have letters placed alphabetically(按字母顺序)!
In the late 1860s, an American inventor named Christopher Sholes developed the first typewriter, which had keys in alphabetical order. ____16____. According to one theory, pressing the typewriter keys caused Sholes’s machine to jam. So he moved the keys around to keep the machinery from getting stuck. It’s possible that some keys were moved for this reason, but it’s not the whole story.
Here is another story: Some of the first people to try out Sholes’s typewriters were telegraph operators. Here is how an early American telegraph worked: ____17____. Morse code uses a series of long and short clicks to represent each letter of the alphabet. The code would travel as an electrical pulse over wires to another telegraph. The operator on that end would then decode and write out the message by hand. This person had to work very fast.
When the typewriter came along, operators could type out a message as they decoded it. ____18____ One reason was that certain letters in Morse code are similar to one another. The operators wanted those letters close together on the keyboard so they could quickly find the right key to press. Sholes likely moved at least some keys based on what worked for the operators.
____19____ The order of keys on another machine called the Hughes Printing Telegraph may have influenced Sholes’s keyboard even more.
Eventually, the keyboard transformed into what’s called “QWERTY”. ____20____ Once QWERTY came about, people got used to it… and it just stuck around. It became the standard computer keyboard in the United States, and we still use it today!
A. But that’s not all!
B. People debate whether this really happened.
C. Why does the letters on today’s keyboard look so random?
D. The telegraph was once commonly used for sending messages.
E. But they weren’t fans of the typewriter’s alphabetical keyboard.
F. It is named after the first six letters at the top left of the keyboard.
G. One person would use its lever‑like key to tap out a message in Morse code.

My wife and I made a rush decision: we adopted a tiny “miniature pig” named Esther. We were told she would weigh ____21____ 70 pounds fully grown. We could never have predicted the ____22____ mess this little piglet would bring into our quiet home.
Months passed, and Esther kept ____23____ non‑stop. She eventually ____24____ to a surprising 650 pounds, far bigger than our ____25____. Our small house was never ____26____ for a full‑sized pig, ____27____ we quickly fell head over heels for her gentle, playful ____28____. She would curl up with our dogs on the couch, nuzzle (用鼻子蹭) us for treats, and follow us around the house like a(n) ____29____ friend. Esther changed every cruel impression about ____30____ animals; she was smart, loving, and full of ____31____.
She taught us the true meaning of unconditional ____32____ and opened our eyes to the joy of ____33____ life’s surprises. This extraordinary pig didn’t just change our home — she warmed our hearts and ____34____ our entire lives in the most beautiful way. She became a teacher, showing us that kindness and companionship can ____35____ in the most unexpected forms and even shaped our views on life and love, making us more caring and more patient.

46. The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove. Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right.
The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money my neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent (有能力的) computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century.
注意: (1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Maybe I could be someone who was really competent.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in.

So far, he’s moving in the right direction. “The British government is including rewilding in future farming policy,” he says.
If anyone knows what’s good for Britain’s wild spaces, it’s Alastair. His father was a country naturalist, so the natural world played a big role in his life from an early age. After studying ecology at university, he went on to become a conservation officer for the Thames Water Authority, where he spent 34 years preserving rivers and wetlands. Then, in 2002, Alistair took charge of the Environment Agency, shaping national policy and strategy until 2016.
Now, he believes rewilding is the next step for nature restoration in the UK and it needs to happen on a much larger scale. As such, Alastair spends most of his time travelling around the UK, meeting with landowners, advising them about the advantages of rewilding their land, and offering practical tips for getting started. In just four years, he’s seen a massive uptake in interest. In the early days, Alastair would literally ring around his contact list to get people involved; now, he can hardly cope with emails and calls coming his way. Part of this change is a symptom of the bigger environmental challenges facing mankind. “People are more aware of climate change and the biodiversity crisis,” he says.
Towards the end of 2020, with Alastair’s continuous efforts, the Rewilding Network was launched, a platform where farmers and landowners can connect, share ideas, and seek expert advice. Currently, just over 200, 000 acres of land are being rewilded through the network. For Alastair, it’s a huge step in the right direction.
4. What is Alastair’s goal in Rewilding?
A. To regain his interest in conservation.
B. To force the government to make policies.
C. To get the idea recognized by most people.
D. To advertise the charity for more donations.

Like many people over the past years, I have found myself switching to audiobooks as my main means of reading literature. After days of looking at my laptop, I find it far more comfortable to “read with my ears” while my eyes are resting. My consumption of new books has doubled as a result — but a recent paper makes me wonder if this will come at the price of my comprehension. When we listen to text, it seems, we may engage in less thinking and rely more on instinct (直觉) to evaluate its content.
The study comes from Boaz Keysar and Janet Geipel, both then at the University of Chicago, and it draws from a mental process model popularized in Daniel Kahneman’s best-selling book Thinking, Fast and Slow. According to this view of the mind, we have two ways of assessing information. System I is instinctive, relying on instinct and feeling. It is quick, but at the risk of misinformation and thinking mistake. System II is analytical: When it is engaged, we think our way through the materials step by step. It is more effortful but also more sensible.
Geipel and Keysar investigated whether the sensory style — seeing or hearing — of the information would make a difference. They found that it did: When answering simple‑but‑misleading questions, participants were significantly more likely to make errors when the sentences were spoken out loud rather than written. The researchers repeated the experiment with a greater range of tasks, in more diverse populations. The results were the same: when listening rather than reading, people were more likely to depend on system I.
A greater reliance on instinct could be a problem if we are consuming information that needs logical examination. If I am tackling a book about science I want to be sure I am fully engaged, not just nodding along the vague arguments. For this reason, I will return to reading non‑fiction with my eyes rather than my ears. But I won’t stop listening to novels. If I’m enjoying a story, I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions while my critical mind takes a break.
8. Why does the author prefer audiobooks?
A. They provide better comprehension.
B. They allow the eyes to have a break.
C. They are cheaper than physical books.
D. They are more popular among friends.
9. What does the study conducted by Geipel and Keysar aim to investigate?
A. The popularity of audiobooks.
B. The effects of visual processing.
C. The roles of sensory styles in comprehension.
D. The impact of reading on cognitive development.
10. What causes the author to return to reading non‑fiction with eyes?
A. The need for logical analysis.
B. An interest in critical thinking.
C. A preference for visual learning.
D. The intention to improve efficiency.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards audiobooks?
A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述作者常使用有声书,借助一项心理学研究对比听读与目视阅读的思维差异,并区分不同书籍适用的阅读方式。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“After days of looking at my laptop, I find it far more comfortable to “read with my ears” while my eyes are resting.(在连续几天盯着笔记本电脑后,我发现用耳朵阅读、让眼睛休息要舒服得多)”可知,作者偏爱有声书是因为有声书能让眼睛休息。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Geipel and Keysar investigated whether the sensory style — seeing or hearing — of the information would make a difference.(盖佩尔与基萨尔研究信息的感官形式 —— 看或是听 —— 是否会产生不同效果)”可知,该研究旨在探究感官形式在信息理解中的作用。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“A greater reliance on instinct could be a problem if we are consuming information that needs logical examination. If I am tackling a book about science I want to be sure I am fully engaged, not just nodding along the vague arguments. For this reason, I will return to reading non‑fiction with my eyes rather than my ears. (如果我们接收需要逻辑审视的信息,过度依靠直觉会成为一个问题。如果我在读一本科学类书籍,我想要确保自己全身心投入,而非笼统认同模糊的论点。出于这个原因,我会重新用眼睛阅读纪实类作品,而不是靠耳朵听)”可知,纪实类读物需要逻辑分析,所以作者选择用眼睛看这类作品。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Like many people over the past years, I have found myself switching to audiobooks as my main means of reading literature.(过去几年里,我和许多人一样,转而把有声书当作阅读文学作品的主要方式)”体现作者认可有声书的优势;再根据第四段中的“A greater reliance on instinct could be a problem if we are consuming information that needs logical examination.(如果我们接收需要逻辑审视的信息,过度依靠直觉会成为一个问题)”与“But I won’t stop listening to novels. If I’m enjoying a story, I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions while my critical mind takes a break.(但我不会停止听小说。如果我沉浸在故事里,我很乐意跟随情绪流动,让批判性思维休息片刻)”可知,作者既指出听读不利于逻辑思考的短板,又承认其适合小说阅读的长处,态度客观中立。

Imagine you’re out for an evening walk in a foreign city, looking to find a restaurant for dinner. How to pick the best place for a much‑needed meal? If you’re like most people, you will look for the busiest restaurant with the most diners because its popularity is bound to reflect the quality of food and service. But is this true?
In tourist areas, which lack regular, local customers, the number of diners is unlikely to hold information about the quality of the meal. Instead, bigger crowds could have come about at random, and here’s why: Early diners with no meaningful cues as to which restaurant to choose may have picked their evening restaurant randomly, for example, selecting the place with the nicest name, the smiliest waiter, or the prettiest flowers on the tables. Subsequent passers‑by may have misinterpreted their restaurant choice as a well‑informed decision and blindly followed their example.
This could have resulted in a snow‑ball effect, whereby ever‑increasing numbers of customers were attracted to the restaurant in question, creating a false impression of endorsement. In this case, following the example of others could have led to a less satisfactory dinner choice in an overcrowded restaurant. This is typical of herd behavior.
Herding can appear to make a lot of sense. The so‑called “wisdom of crowds” suggests that average judgments of large groups of people often outperform individual choices. Furthermore, following the crowd appears to offer protection and comfort — after all, there’s “safety in numbers” — while helping to maintain a favorable reputation. Finally, following the herd reduces the effort needed to make a personal or unique decision; it is therefore an easy option.
However, herd behavior, while common and easy to explain, holds significant dangers. Contrary to the “wisdom of crowds”, which happens when the judgments of individual group members are independently collected to produce an average opinion, herd behavior typically relys on “information cascades (literally waterfalls)”, where people take on others’ beliefs or copy their choices without critically considering the reasons behind. This frequently leads to the imitation of unreasonable or simply stupid behavior.
12. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To compare local and tourist dining habits.
B. To introduce a common belief and pose a question.
C. To criticize tourists for making poor dinner choices.
D. To describe a typical evening scene in a foreign city.
13. What does the underlined word “endorsement” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Approval. B. Efficiency. C. Knowledge. D. Sincerity.
14. Which of the following can contribute to a better informed choice?
A. Safety in numbers. B. Herd behavior.
C. Wisdom of crowds. D. Information cascades.
15. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Trusting the Majority: A Smart Strategy.
B. Following the Crowd: A Seemingly Quick Fix.
C. Eating Out in a Foreign City: A Practical Guide.
D. Imitating the Herd: An Easy and Natural Choice.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】文章以在外旅游选餐厅为引子,分析从众行为的形成、表面优势及潜藏的弊端。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“If you’re like most people, you will look for the busiest restaurant with the most diners because its popularity is bound to reflect the quality of food and service. But is this true?(如果你和大多数人一样,你会寻找食客最多、最热闹的餐厅,因为它的人气一定会反映食物与服务的质量。但这是真的吗?)”可知,第一段先提出大众普遍看法,再抛出疑问,引出下文论述。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“This could have resulted in a snow‑ball effect, whereby ever‑increasing numbers of customers were attracted to the restaurant in question, creating a false impression of endorsement.(这会产生雪球效应,越来越多顾客被所说的这家餐厅吸引,营造出虚假endorsement的印象)”可知,大量客人聚集会让人误以为餐厅获得众人赞同,即营造出虚假认可的印象,故猜测endorsement意为“认可”,与approval同义。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The so‑called “wisdom of crowds” suggests that average judgments of large groups of people often outperform individual choices.(所谓的“群体智慧”表明,大批人的平均判断往往优于个人选择)”可知,群体智慧能促成更合理的选择。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第一段中的“If you’re like most people, you will look for the busiest restaurant with the most diners because its popularity is bound to reflect the quality of food and service. But is this true?(如果你和大多数人一样,你会寻找食客最多、最热闹的餐厅,因为它的人气一定会反映食物与服务的质量。但这是真的吗?)”可知,文章开篇以选餐厅为例引出从众行为,介绍从众看似便捷、合理的优势,重点阐述了从众行为存在的巨大隐患,说明跟风从众只是看似高效的解决方式,实则存在弊端。B选项“Following the Crowd: A Seemingly Quick Fix.(从众:一种看似简便的应对方式)”能概括文章主旨,适合作标题。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Guess what — today’s computer keyboard comes from a keyboard that did have letters placed alphabetically(按字母顺序)!
In the late 1860s, an American inventor named Christopher Sholes developed the first typewriter, which had keys in alphabetical order. ____16____. According to one theory, pressing the typewriter keys caused Sholes’s machine to jam. So he moved the keys around to keep the machinery from getting stuck. It’s possible that some keys were moved for this reason, but it’s not the whole story.
Here is another story: Some of the first people to try out Sholes’s typewriters were telegraph operators. Here is how an early American telegraph worked: ____17____. Morse code uses a series of long and short clicks to represent each letter of the alphabet. The code would travel as an electrical pulse over wires to another telegraph. The operator on that end would then decode and write out the message by hand. This person had to work very fast.
When the typewriter came along, operators could type out a message as they decoded it. ____18____ One reason was that certain letters in Morse code are similar to one another. The operators wanted those letters close together on the keyboard so they could quickly find the right key to press. Sholes likely moved at least some keys based on what worked for the operators.
____19____ The order of keys on another machine called the Hughes Printing Telegraph may have influenced Sholes’s keyboard even more.
Eventually, the keyboard transformed into what’s called “QWERTY”. ____20____ Once QWERTY came about, people got used to it… and it just stuck around. It became the standard computer keyboard in the United States, and we still use it today!
A. But that’s not all!
B. People debate whether this really happened.
C. Why does the letters on today’s keyboard look so random?
D. The telegraph was once commonly used for sending messages.
E. But they weren’t fans of the typewriter’s alphabetical keyboard.
F. It is named after the first six letters at the top left of the keyboard.
G. One person would use its lever‑like key to tap out a message in Morse code.
【答案】16. C 17. G 18. E 19. A 20. F

【18题详解】
上文“When the typewriter came along, operators could type out a message as they decoded it.(打字机问世后,操作员可以一边解码一边打出信息)”提出操作员使用打字机的情况,后文“One reason was that certain letters in Morse code are similar to one another. The operators wanted those letters close together on the keyboard so they could quickly find the right key to press. Sholes likely moved at least some keys based on what worked for the operators.(一个原因是摩尔斯电码里的某些字母彼此相似。操作员希望键盘上这些字母挨在一起,这样他们能快速找到要按的正确按键。肖尔斯可能至少调整了一部分按键,依据的是适合操作员使用的布局。)”解释按键调整的原因,E选项“But they weren’t fans of the typewriter’s alphabetical keyboard.(但他们并不喜欢打字机的字母顺序键盘)”形成转折,引出后续按键位置调整的缘由。
【19题详解】
后文“The order of keys on another machine called the Hughes Printing Telegraph may have influenced Sholes’s keyboard even more.(另一台叫作休斯印刷电报机的机器按键布局或许对肖尔斯的键盘影响更大)”补充了全新的影响因素,A选项“But that’s not all!(但这并非全部原因!)”起到过渡作用,承接前文原因,引出更多影响因素。
【20题详解】

Dear Editor,
Regarding the school’s plan to grade English compositions with AI assistance, I strongly support it.
First, AI offers instant, detailed feedback on grammar and vocabulary, which helps us correct mistakes efficiently. Second, it reduces teachers’ heavy workload, allowing them to focus more on guiding our writing structure and creativity. Moreover, AI provides objective scoring, avoiding possible human bias.
However, I suggest teachers should also review the grades occasionally to ensure accuracy. Overall, I believe this combination of AI and human effort will greatly benefit our learning.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
46. The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove. Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right.
The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money my neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent (有能力的) computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century.

Maybe I could be someone who was really competent.

【答案】范文
Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. I nodded without hesitation and walked straight to the dusty computer in the storage room. Step by step, I checked the network wires, fixed the loose connection and installed the selling software. Grandma and Mr. Jackson stood beside me, watching every move with admiration. I also took clear photos of the fresh roses and wrote warm descriptions for the online shop, highlighting their sweet smell and bright colors. When I finished all the settings, I clicked the Publish button, feeling a surge of pride inside. I finally found a way to make up for my past fault.
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. Grandma stared at the screen in shock, unable to believe so many customers wanted her roses. Mr. Jackson patted my shoulder warmly, saying my skills truly turned their trouble into good luck. We spent the whole afternoon packing roses happily. All my nervousness faded away completely. I realized being competent lies not in never making mistakes, but in daring to fix them bravely. This summer holiday on the farm turned out far more meaningful than any computer camp I had imagined.
