When Gary Leung completely lost his eyesight nearly 15 years ago, it almost destroyed him The Hong Kong native fell into hopelessness. Just at that time, he found long-distance running.
Now in his 50s, Leung has since completed the 100-kilometer Antarctic Ice Marathon, becoming the first blind person to do so. He even attempted the 400 km “Ultra Gobi”, thought to be one of the most challenging foot-races in the world. Recently, he is fresh off a 2,300 km charity run in Japan.
The Japanese “Dark Run 2023” was divided into 40 days, meaning Leung and his guide runners — connected by a string attachment — ran an average of more than 50 km per day. The run was aimed at raising money for young people with serious illnesses and showing them that all people have obstacles (障碍), but we must face them head-on and with bravery.
Though Leung can’t physically see things in front of him, he says that doesn’t make him fearful of running long distances now. He thinks there’s no need to be scared for those who are lacking in something. The universe will equip them with other talents. And they are never alone, just like he wasn’t alone on this run. His guide runners gave up their own holidays and put their own money in to fly over and support him.
“I want to pass down the spirit. I’m not young anymore and won’t be able to run these distances much longer,” he says, smiling. I want to help my younger friends with similar experiences to learn to love exercise. Doing physical activities is not as easy for them as it is for able-bodied people, so I want to set up a stage where we can continue to bring things to them-and for them to do the same for more.
4. What does long-distance running mean for Leung?
A. A cure for his eyes. B. A tool for making a living.
C. A way out of life’s worst. D. A form of physical exercise.
5. How does Leung finish all his long-distance running?
A. He was guided while running. B. He managed it by himself.
C. He sought help from the organizers. D. He took advantage of public transport.
6. What can be inferred from Leung’s words in the last paragraph?
A. He is ready to challenge longer running. B. He is too tired to go on with charity work.
C. He wants young people to follow his example. D. He thinks running is easy for the blind to take up.
7. Which words can best describe Leung?
A. Humorous and honest. B. Strong-willed and inspiring.
C. Responsible and outgoing. D. Independent and warm-hearted.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主题语境为人与自我。文章讲述15年前,Gary Leung双目失明,这让他彻底崩溃,陷入了绝望,然后他发现了长跑能够使他走出低谷。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段提到“When Gary Leung completely lost his eyesight nearly 15 years ago, it almost destroyed him The Hong Kong native fell into hopelessness. Just at that time, he found long-distance running.(大约15年前,当Gary Leung完全失明时,这几乎摧毁了他。这位香港人陷入了绝望。就在那个时候,他发现了长跑)”说明在Leung几乎陷入绝望之时,他发现了长跑,长跑成为他摆脱人生至暗时刻的出路。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The Japanese ‘Dark Run 2023’ was divided into 40 days, meaning Leung and his guide runners — connected by a string attachment — ran an average of more than 50 km per day.(日本的‘Dark Run 2023’被分为40天,这意味着Leung和他的陪跑员们用绳子连接起来,平均每天跑50多公里)”可知,Leung和他的陪跑员通过一根绳子相连,陪跑员引导他跑步,他是在引导下完成长跑的。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Leung说的话“‘I want to pass down the spirit. I’m not young anymore and won’t be able to run these distances much longer,’ he says, smiling. I want to help my younger friends with similar experiences to learn to love exercise. Doing physical activities is not as easy for them as it is for able-bodied people, so I want to set up a stage where we can continue to bring things to them-and for them to do the same for more.(‘我想把精神传承下去。我不再年轻了,跑不了这么长的距离了,’他笑着说。我想帮助我有类似经历的年轻朋友学会热爱运动。做体育活动对他们来说不像对健全的人那么容易,所以我想建立一个舞台,我们可以继续为他们带来东西,让他们做同样的事情)”可知,他希望帮助有类似经历的年轻朋友学会热爱运动,并且希望为他们搭建平台,让他们也能帮助更多人,即他希望年轻人以他为榜样,继续传递这种精神。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Now in his 50s, Leung has since completed the 100-kilometer Antarctic Ice Marathon, becoming the first blind person to do so. He even attempted the 400 km ‘Ultra Gobi’, thought to be one of the most challenging foot-races in the world. Recently, he is fresh off a 2,300 km charity run in Japan.(现年50多岁的Leung已经完成了100公里的南极冰上马拉松,成为第一个完成这项任务的盲人。他甚至尝试了400公里的‘Ultra Gobi’,这被认为是世界上最具挑战性的竞走之一。最近,他刚刚结束了在日本2300公里的慈善长跑)”可知,Leung在失明后没有放弃,通过长跑完成多项极具挑战性的赛事,如成为第一个完成100公里南极冰马拉松的盲人,还参加Ultra Gobi和日本的慈善长跑,体现出他坚定的决心(strong-willed);根据第三段中“The run was aimed at raising money for young people with serious illnesses and showing them that all people have obstacles (障碍), but we must face them head-on and with bravery.(这次跑步的目的是为患有严重疾病的年轻人筹集资金,并告诉他们,所有人都有障碍,但我们必须勇敢地面对它们)”可知,他通过长跑筹集资金帮助患病年轻人,并且希望帮助更多有类似经历的年轻人热爱运动,传递精神,这非常鼓舞人心(inspiring)。故选B。
C
The soft song of the wren (鹪鹩) once commonly marked sunrise in the central Amazon jungle. But recently, it was a rare wonder when the song cut through the morning darkness. This has received little public attention, yet it is ringing alarm bells among bird scientists. According to their research, numerous bird species are growing increasingly rare, from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil to protected reserves in Ecuador and Panama.
By comparing long-term bird monitoring data over recent decades, researchers have found birds are disappearing from surprising places — expanses of forest untouched by fires, logging or human clearing. These aren’t migratory species in decline because of habitat loss on distant continents; many spend their entire lives in a single area of trees. Further study shows that all studied bird species weigh less now than in the 1980s, suggesting they are not well fed. The hardest-hit species are insect-eating birds, including the musician wren and the black-tailed leaftosser, some of which have declined by nearly 80 percent.
Given that insect populations are highly sensitive to temperature and rainfall changes, scientists suspect climate change might be the underlying cause of the birds’ decline. To explore the exact link between climate patterns and bird survival, researchers launched an experiment in the Amazon. They set up irrigation systems in undisturbed forest plots, supplementing dry-season rainfall to reproduce the wetter conditions of the 1980s. Early results are promising: compared with birds in unwatered areas, those in watered areas have higher fat levels, fewer stress signals and more active reproductive behavior.
Combining long-term observations and experimental evidence, scientists reached a conclusion: climate change is the leading cause of the mysterious bird decline in untouched rainforests. Higher dry-season temperatures and unstable rainfall patterns damage the food chain by reducing insect numbers.
Although the research might help explain why birds are disappearing, it may not point to any solutions. “The best that we can do is really try to slow down climate change as much as possible,” says Corey Tarwater, a University of Wyoming ecologist.
8. What phenomenon is presented in paragraph 1?
A. Damage to forest bird habitats. B. Secrets of biodiversity reserves.
C. Decline of forest bird populations. D. Threats to endangered bird species.
9. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Forest birds hardly rely on insects for food. B. Food shortage accounts for the loss of birds.
C. Migratory birds are facing greater challenges. D. Human activities are to blame for bird decline.
10. Why did researchers conduct the Amazon experiment?
A. To figure out effects of climate on birds. B. To restore damaged rainforest ecosystems.
C. To increase insect numbers in dry seasons. D. To protect endangered insect-eating birds.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Forest Birds: The Victims of Habitat Destruction
B. Irrigation Test: A Crucial Lifeline for Forest Birds
C. Climate Change: A Hidden Threat to Forest Birds
D. Insect Decline: The Underlying Cause of Bird Loss
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】主要讲述亚马逊等雨林鸟类数量莫名减少,研究探究其原因,证实气候变化是未受干扰雨林鸟类减少的潜在威胁。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“According to their research, numerous bird species are growing increasingly rare, from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil to protected reserves in Ecuador and Panama.(根据他们的研究,从巴西亚马逊雨林到厄瓜多尔和巴拿马的保护区,许多鸟类物种正变得越来越稀少。)”可知,第一段呈现了森林鸟类种群数量下降的现象。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Further study shows that all studied bird species weigh less now than in the 1980s, suggesting they are not well fed. The hardest-hit species are insect-eating birds, including the musician wren and the black-tailed leaftosser, some of which have declined by nearly 80 percent. (进一步研究表明,所有被研究的鸟类物种如今的体重都低于20世纪80年代,这说明它们的食物摄入不足。受影响最严重的是以昆虫为食的鸟类,包括琴鹪鹩和黑尾拾叶雀,其中部分种类的数量减少了接近80%。)”可知,食物短缺是鸟类数量减少的原因。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To explore the exact link between climate patterns and bird survival, researchers launched an experiment in the Amazon.(为探究气候模式与鸟类生存之间的确切联系,研究人员在亚马逊开展了一项实验。)”可知,研究者做实验是为了弄清气候对鸟类的影响。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第四段中的“Combining long-term observations and experimental evidence, scientists reached a conclusion: climate change is the leading cause of the mysterious bird decline in untouched rainforests.(结合长期观测与实验证据,科学家得出结论:气候变化是未受干扰雨林鸟类数量莫名减少的主要原因。)”以及文章先介绍雨林鸟类数量锐减现象、分析食物短缺现状、开展气候关联实验并最终锁定气候变化为主因可知,文章核心围绕气候变化对森林鸟类构成隐性威胁展开,文章围绕气候变化暗中威胁森林鸟类生存展开论述,所以“Climate Change: A Hidden Threat to Forest Birds(气候变化:森林鸟类的隐性威胁)”最能概括全文核心,适合作为最佳标题。
D
Humanoid robots, powered by generative AI (gen AI), hold significant potential to enhance daily life, especially in breaking down longstanding barriers for people with disabilities. However, a considerable gap exists between this exciting promise and the reality of today’s technology.
This gap is reflected in user experience. A 2023 study by the “AI for Accessibility” Institute revealed that 39% of users with disabilities feel annoyed by technology’s failure to understand them, compared to 28% of non-disabled users. Nearly half of the disabled users also reported that they must change their behaviors to use a device rather than adapting the device to fit their needs. This is true even while they acknowledge AI’s various potential benefits.
The primary reason for this issue is a lack of consideration for diverse user needs during the development process. Many AI technologies are designed without direct participation from the communities they aim to serve. To correct this, the disability community’s slogan, “Nothing about us without us,” must become a guiding principle for developers.
The solution, therefore, is to build inclusivity into the design process itself. This means that developers should gather information from the widest possible range of people to create AI with user-adaptable features, allowing customization for diverse needs. This approach treats accessibility as a core requirement from the start rather than an after-the-fact modification. In practice, this requires involving people with disabilities to share their experiences and insights when developing and testing new technologies.
A project named Euphonia offers a clear example. It aims to improve speech recognition for users with speech difficulties. Given that the AI is trained on vast amounts of data from people with non-typical speech patterns, it can accurately interpret their commands. For instance, it has helped former football player Tim Shaw communicate effectively again. The system not only understands his directions but can also speak for him in a voice remarkably similar to his own.
Ultimately, the goal is to shift our perspective. We should see these technologies not merely as tools but as extensions of the person. This means that what truly matters is closing the gap between designing for people with disabilities and designing with them.
12. What can we infer from the survey in Paragraph 2?
A. Disabled people frequently avoid using gen AI.
B. Non-disabled people have few gen AI problems.
C. Gen AI seldom fails to meet the needs of disabled users.
D. Gen AI is not user-friendly enough for disabled people.
13. The author quotes “nothing about us without us” to stress that ______.
A. users’ feedback on technologies often gets ignored
B. users’ participation matters in designing technologies
C. users’ advice hinders the development of technologies
D. users’ wishes reflect the improvement of technologies
14. What does the word underlined “modification” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Limitation. B. Creation. C. Adaptation. D. Communication.
15. The author takes the example of Euphonia to show ______.
A. technology can independently interact with disabled people
B. technology can enhance disabled people’s life quality
C. technology can help people communicate effectively
D. technology can achieve inclusivity for disabled people
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了生成式人工智能驱动的人形机器人在助力残障人士生活方面的潜力,分析了当前技术与实际需求之间存在的差距及成因,并提出将包容性融入设计流程、让残障群体参与技术开发的解决方案,还以Euphonia项目为例佐证该方案的有效性,最终指出技术设计应从“为残障人士设计”转向“与他们共同设计”。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“A 2023 study by the ‘AI for Accessibility’ Institute revealed that 39% of users with disabilities feel annoyed by technology’s failure to understand them, compared to 28% of non-disabled users.(‘无障碍人工智能’研究所2023年的一项研究显示,39%的残障用户因技术无法理解他们而感到恼火,而非残障用户的这一比例为28%。)”以及“Nearly half of the disabled users also reported that they must change their behaviors to use a device rather than adapting the device to fit their needs.(近一半的残障用户还表示,他们必须改变自身行为才能使用设备,而非让设备适应自己的需求。)”可知,生成式人工智能对残障用户而言不够人性化。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Many AI technologies are designed without direct participation from the communities they aim to serve. To correct this, the disability community’s slogan, ‘Nothing about us without us,’ must become a guiding principle for developers.(许多人工智能技术的设计没有其目标服务群体的直接参与。为纠正这一点,残障群体的口号‘没有我们的参与,就没有关于我们的决策’必须成为开发者的指导原则。)”可知,作者引用该口号是为了强调用户参与在技术设计中的重要性。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“This approach treats accessibility as a core requirement from the start rather than an after-the-fact modification.(这种方法从一开始就将无障碍性视为核心要求,而非事后的modification。)”可知,modification译为“修改、调整”,与adaptation含义相近。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In practice, this requires involving people with disabilities to share their experiences and insights when developing and testing new technologies.(在实践中,这就要求在开发和测试新技术时,让残障人士参与进来,分享他们的经历和见解。)”以及第五段“A project named Euphonia offers a clear example. It aims to improve speech recognition for users with speech difficulties. Given that the AI is trained on vast amounts of data from people with non-typical speech patterns, it can accurately interpret their commands.(名为Euphonia的项目就是一个清晰的例子。它旨在改善有语言障碍用户的语音识别效果。由于该人工智能接受了大量非典型语音模式人群的数据训练,因此能准确解读他们的指令。)”可知,作者举该例子是为了说明技术能够为残障人士实现包容性设计。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】文章以志愿者Jo的视角,讲述她在巴布亚新几内亚丛林学校的支教经历。
【36题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意:Jo是一位在巴布亚新几内亚工作的澳大利亚女志愿者教师。根据空格后的单数名词woman可知,空格处应该用不定冠词,泛指“一位澳大利亚女性”,Australian是以元音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词an。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态与语态。句意:她工作的学校是一所丛林学校,教室由竹子、泥土和茅草搭建而成。空格处是定语从句的谓语动词,主语classrooms与动词make之间是被动关系,句子描述客观事实,用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是复数,be动词用are,所以填are made。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:你无法想象在那里工作有多困难,因为没有电、自来水,甚至没有教科书,更不用说其他现代设备了。空格后的even textbooks与上文的electricity, running water是并列关系,在否定句中,用or连接并列否定成分,表示“和;也不”。
【39题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:你无法想象在那里工作有多困难,因为没有电、自来水,甚至没有教科书,更不用说其他现代设备了。device是可数名词,此处泛指“多种现代设备”,所以用复数形式devices。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她必须努力适应那里的生活,而且由于学生们对做实验一无所知,她在那儿教授科学也遇到了很大的挑战。it是形式宾语,所以空格处用动词不定式to teach,构成固定句型“find it + 名词 + to do sth.”,其中不定式是真正的宾语。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们到达时受到了热烈的欢迎。Tombe的父亲把他们领到他的房子,这是一间低矮的竹屋,茅草从屋顶伸出来。根据空格前的with grass可知,空格处应该用非谓语动词作宾语补足语,宾语grass与动词stick之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词sticking作宾语补足语。
【42题详解】
考查宾语从句引导词。句意:晚餐时,他们吃的是红薯、玉米和蔬菜。空格处引导主语从句,连接词在从句中作ate的宾语,表示“……的事物”,所以用连接代词what。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:Jo了解到当地的传统习俗。 空格处修饰名词customs,需要用形容词形式;tradition的形容词形式是traditional,表示“传统的”。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:她喜欢听这家人用他们的语言轻声交谈,尽管她无法参与太多对话。空格处修饰动词talking,需要用副词形式;soft的副词形式是softly,表示“轻声地;温柔地”。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:她喜欢听这家人用他们的语言轻声交谈,尽管她无法参与太多对话。participate in是固定搭配,意为“参与;参加”,所以用介词in。

第二节 读后续写(满分 25 分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“There now, just a couple of months and the wait will be over!” John, an elevenyear-old boy, thought happily as he counted the money in his little box. John had been saving his pocket money for months, planning to buy a new gaming device.
John’s parents had always stressed the importance of saving, teaching him that small amounts added up over time, so every month, John would set aside some of his pocket money. Of course, this was not enough and he was also relying on his birthday gift money, which would arrive in three months. “Just a little more, and I’ll have enough!” he thought, excited about owning the gaming device he had longed for soon.
One afternoon, while doing his homework at home, John overheard (偶然听到) a conversation between his mother and their neighbor, Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Brown, who lived next door, was struggling to pay for her daughter’s school fees (学费) and asked John’s mother if she could lend her some money. “Can you lend me some money right now? I’ll pay it back in a couple of months. Things are really hard for me now,” she requested. John’s mother responded that she would help as much as she could and would reach out to other relatives to see if more money could be gathered.
As John listened, he began to think, “I have some money saved up, but if I give it to Mrs. Brown, what about my gaming device then?” After all, he really wanted the gaming device. But then he remembered how Mrs. Brown often lent a helping hand — whether it was bringing over a hot meal when his parents were busy or looking after their house during vacations. How could he refuse to do something for her in return?
That night, John lay in bed and had a heartfelt conversation with himself. Eventually, after much thought, John made up his mind. He decided that the education of Mrs. Brown’s daughter was more important than his own material desires.
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。
The next morning, John went directly to his mother after waking up.

Three months passed and finally it was John’s birthday.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The next morning, John went directly to his mother after waking up. He said, “Mom, I heard about Mrs. Brown’s difficulty. I want to lend her the money I’ve saved for the gaming device. Her daughter’s education is more important.” His mother was touched by his generosity and praised him for his selflessness. Later, John explained his decision to Mrs. Brown. With the help of John and his family, Mrs. Brown managed to gather enough funds for her daughter’s school fees. The neighbors’ gratitude and smiles made John realize that helping others brings more joy than any material possession could.
Three months passed and finally it was John’s birthday. To his surprise, his parents and Mrs. Brown gathered to celebrate. Mrs. Brown presented John with a brand-new gaming device as a thank-you gift, saying, “Your kindness deserves a reward.” John was overjoyed, not just because he received the device, but because he understood the true meaning of giving. From then on, he continued to save, but this time, he also helped others whenever he could, knowing that small acts of kindness could make a big difference.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,这篇文章讲述了一个名叫John的11岁男孩,为了买心仪的游戏设备而坚持存钱的故事。在听到邻居Mrs. Brown因支付女儿学费困难而求助后,John经过内心挣扎,决定将存钱箱里的钱借给Mrs. Brown。John的母亲对他的决定表示赞赏,并与家人一起帮助Mrs. Brown筹集了学费。三个月后,John生日时,Mrs. Brown为感谢他的善举,送给了他一个新的游戏设备。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
① 由第一段首句内容“第二天早上,John起床后径直走到母亲身边。”可知,第一段应描写John主动提出捐钱帮助邻居,体现其善良和决心。
② 由第二段首句内容“三个月过去了,John的生日终于到了。”可知,第二段应描写生日时Mrs. Brown的回报,以及John对善良行为的感悟。
2. 续写线索:
主动捐钱——家人支持——帮助邻居——生日惊喜——礼物回馈——深刻感悟

When Gary Leung completely lost his eyesight nearly 15 years ago, it almost destroyed him The Hong Kong native fell into hopelessness. Just at that time, he found long-distance running.
Now in his 50s, Leung has since completed the 100-kilometer Antarctic Ice Marathon, becoming the first blind person to do so. He even attempted the 400 km “Ultra Gobi”, thought to be one of the most challenging foot-races in the world. Recently, he is fresh off a 2,300 km charity run in Japan.
The Japanese “Dark Run 2023” was divided into 40 days, meaning Leung and his guide runners — connected by a string attachment — ran an average of more than 50 km per day. The run was aimed at raising money for young people with serious illnesses and showing them that all people have obstacles (障碍), but we must face them head-on and with bravery.
Though Leung can’t physically see things in front of him, he says that doesn’t make him fearful of running long distances now. He thinks there’s no need to be scared for those who are lacking in something. The universe will equip them with other talents. And they are never alone, just like he wasn’t alone on this run. His guide runners gave up their own holidays and put their own money in to fly over and support him.
“I want to pass down the spirit. I’m not young anymore and won’t be able to run these distances much longer,” he says, smiling. I want to help my younger friends with similar experiences to learn to love exercise. Doing physical activities is not as easy for them as it is for able-bodied people, so I want to set up a stage where we can continue to bring things to them-and for them to do the same for more.
4. What does long-distance running mean for Leung?
A. A cure for his eyes. B. A tool for making a living.
C. A way out of life’s worst. D. A form of physical exercise.
5. How does Leung finish all his long-distance running?
A. He was guided while running. B. He managed it by himself.
C. He sought help from the organizers. D. He took advantage of public transport.
6. What can be inferred from Leung’s words in the last paragraph?
A. He is ready to challenge longer running. B. He is too tired to go on with charity work.
C. He wants young people to follow his example. D. He thinks running is easy for the blind to take up.
7. Which words can best describe Leung?
A. Humorous and honest. B. Strong-willed and inspiring.
C. Responsible and outgoing. D. Independent and warm-hearted.

The soft song of the wren (鹪鹩) once commonly marked sunrise in the central Amazon jungle. But recently, it was a rare wonder when the song cut through the morning darkness. This has received little public attention, yet it is ringing alarm bells among bird scientists. According to their research, numerous bird species are growing increasingly rare, from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil to protected reserves in Ecuador and Panama.
By comparing long-term bird monitoring data over recent decades, researchers have found birds are disappearing from surprising places — expanses of forest untouched by fires, logging or human clearing. These aren’t migratory species in decline because of habitat loss on distant continents; many spend their entire lives in a single area of trees. Further study shows that all studied bird species weigh less now than in the 1980s, suggesting they are not well fed. The hardest-hit species are insect-eating birds, including the musician wren and the black-tailed leaftosser, some of which have declined by nearly 80 percent.
Given that insect populations are highly sensitive to temperature and rainfall changes, scientists suspect climate change might be the underlying cause of the birds’ decline. To explore the exact link between climate patterns and bird survival, researchers launched an experiment in the Amazon. They set up irrigation systems in undisturbed forest plots, supplementing dry-season rainfall to reproduce the wetter conditions of the 1980s. Early results are promising: compared with birds in unwatered areas, those in watered areas have higher fat levels, fewer stress signals and more active reproductive behavior.
Combining long-term observations and experimental evidence, scientists reached a conclusion: climate change is the leading cause of the mysterious bird decline in untouched rainforests. Higher dry-season temperatures and unstable rainfall patterns damage the food chain by reducing insect numbers.
Although the research might help explain why birds are disappearing, it may not point to any solutions. “The best that we can do is really try to slow down climate change as much as possible,” says Corey Tarwater, a University of Wyoming ecologist.
8. What phenomenon is presented in paragraph 1?
A. Damage to forest bird habitats. B. Secrets of biodiversity reserves.
C. Decline of forest bird populations. D. Threats to endangered bird species.
9. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Forest birds hardly rely on insects for food. B. Food shortage accounts for the loss of birds.
C. Migratory birds are facing greater challenges. D. Human activities are to blame for bird decline.
10. Why did researchers conduct the Amazon experiment?
A. To figure out effects of climate on birds. B. To restore damaged rainforest ecosystems.
C. To increase insect numbers in dry seasons. D. To protect endangered insect-eating birds.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Forest Birds: The Victims of Habitat Destruction
B. Irrigation Test: A Crucial Lifeline for Forest Birds
C. Climate Change: A Hidden Threat to Forest Birds
D. Insect Decline: The Underlying Cause of Bird Loss

Humanoid robots, powered by generative AI (gen AI), hold significant potential to enhance daily life, especially in breaking down longstanding barriers for people with disabilities. However, a considerable gap exists between this exciting promise and the reality of today’s technology.
This gap is reflected in user experience. A 2023 study by the “AI for Accessibility” Institute revealed that 39% of users with disabilities feel annoyed by technology’s failure to understand them, compared to 28% of non-disabled users. Nearly half of the disabled users also reported that they must change their behaviors to use a device rather than adapting the device to fit their needs. This is true even while they acknowledge AI’s various potential benefits.
The primary reason for this issue is a lack of consideration for diverse user needs during the development process. Many AI technologies are designed without direct participation from the communities they aim to serve. To correct this, the disability community’s slogan, “Nothing about us without us,” must become a guiding principle for developers.
The solution, therefore, is to build inclusivity into the design process itself. This means that developers should gather information from the widest possible range of people to create AI with user-adaptable features, allowing customization for diverse needs. This approach treats accessibility as a core requirement from the start rather than an after-the-fact modification. In practice, this requires involving people with disabilities to share their experiences and insights when developing and testing new technologies.
A project named Euphonia offers a clear example. It aims to improve speech recognition for users with speech difficulties. Given that the AI is trained on vast amounts of data from people with non-typical speech patterns, it can accurately interpret their commands. For instance, it has helped former football player Tim Shaw communicate effectively again. The system not only understands his directions but can also speak for him in a voice remarkably similar to his own.
Ultimately, the goal is to shift our perspective. We should see these technologies not merely as tools but as extensions of the person. This means that what truly matters is closing the gap between designing for people with disabilities and designing with them.
12. What can we infer from the survey in Paragraph 2?
A. Disabled people frequently avoid using gen AI.
B. Non-disabled people have few gen AI problems.
C. Gen AI seldom fails to meet the needs of disabled users.
D. Gen AI is not user-friendly enough for disabled people.
13. The author quotes “nothing about us without us” to stress that ______.
A. users’ feedback on technologies often gets ignored
B. users’ participation matters in designing technologies
C. users’ advice hinders the development of technologies
D. users’ wishes reflect the improvement of technologies
14. What does the word underlined “modification” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Limitation. B. Creation. C. Adaptation. D. Communication.
15. The author takes the example of Euphonia to show ______.
A. technology can independently interact with disabled people
B. technology can enhance disabled people’s life quality
C. technology can help people communicate effectively
D. technology can achieve inclusivity for disabled people

第二节 读后续写(满分 25 分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“There now, just a couple of months and the wait will be over!” John, an elevenyear-old boy, thought happily as he counted the money in his little box. John had been saving his pocket money for months, planning to buy a new gaming device.
John’s parents had always stressed the importance of saving, teaching him that small amounts added up over time, so every month, John would set aside some of his pocket money. Of course, this was not enough and he was also relying on his birthday gift money, which would arrive in three months. “Just a little more, and I’ll have enough!” he thought, excited about owning the gaming device he had longed for soon.
One afternoon, while doing his homework at home, John overheard (偶然听到) a conversation between his mother and their neighbor, Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Brown, who lived next door, was struggling to pay for her daughter’s school fees (学费) and asked John’s mother if she could lend her some money. “Can you lend me some money right now? I’ll pay it back in a couple of months. Things are really hard for me now,” she requested. John’s mother responded that she would help as much as she could and would reach out to other relatives to see if more money could be gathered.
As John listened, he began to think, “I have some money saved up, but if I give it to Mrs. Brown, what about my gaming device then?” After all, he really wanted the gaming device. But then he remembered how Mrs. Brown often lent a helping hand — whether it was bringing over a hot meal when his parents were busy or looking after their house during vacations. How could he refuse to do something for her in return?
That night, John lay in bed and had a heartfelt conversation with himself. Eventually, after much thought, John made up his mind. He decided that the education of Mrs. Brown’s daughter was more important than his own material desires.
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。
The next morning, John went directly to his mother after waking up.
