A new line of research now seeks to understand how people, including children, interact with chatbots and other virtual agents. “Little kids learn from characters, and our tools of education already rely on the parasocial (准社会) relationships that they form,” said David Bickham, PhD, a health communication researcher based at Boston Children’s Hospital. “How are kids forming a relationship with these AI tools, what does that look like, and how might that impact the ability of AI to teach?” In a series of studies, Randi Williams, a program manager at the Algorithmic Justice League, observed interactions between young children and robots. Williams and her colleagues found that children associated a more human-sounding and expressive voice in agents with higher friendliness and intelligence. Among teenagers, the use of generative AI is already widespread. For 70 percent who reported using at least one such tool in a 2024 Common Sense Media survey of 1,045 teenagers aged 13 to 18, after-school assignments were the most common reason. About half of those who used generative AI for schoolwork did so with permission from a teacher. A similar number checked the validity of generative AI outputs using outside sources, suggesting that many students are aware of the fallibility (出错性) of such tools. “Teens have quite a complicated and nuanced (微妙的) view of AI,” said Beck Tench, an information scientist at the Center for Digital Thriving. “They report that they feel conflicted, and are having just as many excitements and concerns as we do as adults, including worries about misinformation, awareness that it will change their work prospects, and enthusiasm about its potential to advance science, creativity, and humanity.” There are many questions that remain, including how to study and promote the children-AI relationships that safeguard children’s security and personal data — issues that researchers need to address. The Center for Digital Thriving offers guidelines for talking to the youth about generative AI, including asking children whether they have ever heard about AI getting something wrong. 4. What did Randi Williams find out in their research? A. Children preferred humanlike robots. B. Children thought robots wiser than themselves. C. Children were doubtful about what the robots presented. D. Children interacting with robots tended to be more friendly. 5. In which field does generative AI help teenagers most nowadays? A. Creative projects. B. Science learning. C. Homework. D. Entertainment. 6. What is teenagers’ general attitude toward AI according to Beck Tench? A. Appreciative. B. Unclear. C. Dismissive. D. Mixed. 7. What is a concern regarding children’s relationships with AI? A. It will make them less social. B. It might raise safety and privacy issues. C. It could affect their academic performance. D. It may limit their ability to handle challenges. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于儿童和青少年与人工智能互动的相关研究。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Williams and her colleagues found that children associated a more human-sounding and expressive voice in agents with higher friendliness and intelligence. (威廉姆斯和她的同事发现，孩子们认为代理中更像人类的声音和富有表现力的声音具有更高的友好性和智慧)”可知，研究发现儿童会将声音更拟人、更富有表现力的智能体视为更友好、更聪明的对象，这说明儿童更偏爱类人化的机器人。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Among teenagers, the use of generative AI is already widespread. For 70 percent who reported using at least one such tool in a 2024 Common Sense Media survey of 1,045 teenagers aged 13 to 18, after-school assignments were the most common reason. (在青少年中，生成式人工智能的使用已经很普遍。在2024年常识媒体对1045名13至18岁青少年的调查中，70%的受访者表示使用过至少一种此类工具，课后作业是最常见的原因)”可知，在使用生成式人工智能的青少年中，最常见的用途是完成课后作业，因此人工智能在家庭作业领域对青少年的帮助最大。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““Teens have quite a complicated and nuanced (微妙的) view of AI,” said Beck Tench, an information scientist at the Center for Digital Thriving. “They report that they feel conflicted, and are having just as many excitements and concerns as we do as adults, including worries about misinformation, awareness that it will change their work prospects, and enthusiasm about its potential to advance science, creativity, and humanity.” (数字繁荣中心的信息科学家贝克·坦奇说：“青少年对人工智能有着相当复杂和微妙的看法。”“他们表示自己感到矛盾，和成年人一样既有兴奋也有担忧，包括担心错误信息，意识到它将改变他们的工作前景，以及对其推动科学、创造力和人类发展的潜力充满热情。”)”可知，青少年对人工智能的看法复杂且微妙，他们既感到兴奋又怀有担忧，即态度是复杂的。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“There are many questions that remain, including how to study and promote the children-AI relationships that safeguard children’s security and personal data — issues that researchers need to address. (仍有许多问题有待解决，包括如何研究和促进保护儿童安全和个人数据的儿童与人工智能的关系——这是研究人员需要解决的问题)”可知，关于儿童与人工智能的关系，一个需要关注的问题是如何保障儿童的安全和个人数据，这说明相关关系可能引发安全和隐私方面的问题。故选B项。 C How do we really talk fluently with each other? Well, human languages seem to be shaped by a couple of underlying principles that help simplify communication. The haphazardness (随意性) of the signal is the first principle. This concept, first established by De Saussure, a linguist from Switzerland, relates to how we pair sounds with meanings. For instance, the sound “dog” doesn’t refer to a dog in itself; it doesn’t bark like a dog, nor does it walk like a dog. This word has no intrinsic (固有的) “dogness”, yet it holds its meaning. Why is that? Because every English speaker has learned to make the same connection between the sound “dog” and the animal through repeated memorization and use. The haphazardness of the signal has been a massive advantage for speech communities because it enables them to communicate concepts immediately without having to explain why a specific sound corresponds to a particular meaning. The other principle has been that languages create an infinite (无限的) number of expressions from a limited set of elements. In Layman’s words, we possess a limited group of vocabulary that we may mix and match to form unlimited number of larger structures, such as sentences. We generate these unlimited possible combinations by following rules that govern how words are combined. For instance, is there a distinction between “the dog bites the man” and “the man bites the dog”? Aside from one of them being a disastrous daily incidence and the second one being attention-grabbing, the difference is in the basic grammar that guides sense. Each of the words in “the dog bites the man” possesses a specific sense that does not rely on the full phrase. Grammar has been the thing that lets us structure that vocabulary in particular mixtures to remind people of particular meanings and images. There is a finite number of words; however, grammar offers us an infinite number of ways to combine them. 8. What can we learn about the “haphazardness of the signal”? A. It ensures the fluency of speech. B. It makes languages easier to learn. C. It may result in misunderstanding. D. It speeds up concept communication. 9. Why does the author quote Layman’s words in paragraph 4? A. To criticise an out-dated theory. B. To clarify an abstract concept. C. To introduce a new topic. D. To provide a real-life example. 10. What does the example “the dog bites the man” show? A. Minimal words can express deep meaning. B. A less common event can challenge people’s belief. C. Grammar shapes meaning through the organization of words. D. Meaning determines the quantity of words used in daily speech. 11. What’s the main idea of the text? A. The rules governing word formation. B. The complexity of daily communication. C. The development of grammatical structure. D. The principles of language communication. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍人类实现流利交流的两大语言原则：符号的任意性和语言的创造性，阐释其内涵与作用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The haphazardness of the signal has been a massive advantage for speech communities because it enables them to communicate concepts immediately without having to explain why a specific sound corresponds to a particular meaning.(符号的任意性对语言群体来说是一个巨大优势，因为它能让人们立即交流概念，而不必解释为什么某个特定发音对应某个特定含义)”可知，符号的任意性能够加快概念的传递。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The other principle has been that languages create an infinite number of expressions from a limited set of elements. In Layman’s words, we possess a limited group of vocabulary that we may mix and match to form unlimited number of larger structures, such as sentences.(另一项原则是语言能够通过有限的语言要素创造出无限的表达方式。用通俗易懂的话来说，我们掌握的词汇数量是有限的，但可以通过组合搭配形成无限多的更大语言结构，比如句子)”可知，作者引用通俗的表述是为了阐明“有限要素创造无限表达”这一抽象概念。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“For instance, is there a distinction between “the dog bites the man” and “the man bites the dog”? Aside from one of them being a disastrous daily incidence and the second one being attention-grabbing, the difference is in the basic grammar that guides sense.(例如，“狗咬人”和“人咬狗”之间有区别吗？除了前者是日常中可能发生的糟糕事、后者很吸引眼球之外，两者的差异在于决定语义的基础语法)”以及“Grammar has been the thing that lets us structure that vocabulary in particular mixtures to remind people of particular meanings and images.(语法让我们把词汇以特定的方式组合起来，以此传递特定的含义和画面)”可知，这个例子是为了说明语法通过组织词汇来构建语义。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“How do we really talk fluently with each other? Well, human languages seem to be shaped by a couple of underlying principles that help simplify communication.(我们究竟如何实现流利的交谈？人类语言似乎是由几项潜在原则塑造而成的，这些原则有助于简化交流)”可知，文章主要介绍了语言交流的原则。故选D项。 D For some people, hearing and seeing are luxuries that they don’t possess, yet this doesn’t mean they can’t communicate. In fact, there’s a special community in Washington State that has created their own language known as pro-tactile ASL (触觉手语), which has gained recognition in recent years. While humans that can speak tend to use different kinds of additional sensory signals to help those with hearing disabilities — like making hand gestures or faces — touching to communicate is usually reserved for those with incredibly close human connections. But when it comes to people who cannot hear or see, language is becoming even way more tactile. Pro-tactile ASL, reportedly born from the spirit of human connection, is used by these people as their communication media. Katherine Ellen Foley, a writer, described a first-hand encounter with a deaf-blind American gentleman who used pro-tactile ASL. With the help of an ASL interpreter, the man explained that learning this language follows the same principle as learning any other: it’s about connecting with the community that speaks it. Foley gave the example “I climb a tree,” where the signer takes someone’s arm and does the sign for walking up the arm as if the arm were a tree. When it comes to “lollipop (棒棒糖),” it’s almost the same, except that the signer uses a closed fist for the candy part. Notably, while a closed fist at the end of a forearm could mean a number of things, such as a hammer (锤子) or a lollipop or many others, it’s the context of the sentence that will help both sides of the communication to the correct inference. In America, the possible number of people who are blind and deaf is around 50,000, and this new type of language is becoming increasingly popular. It’s important to understand that communication is not defined simply by a domain of words and mouth sounds, but it’s a way of understanding between individuals. Going back to this was what pushed this pro-tactile system to grow. 12. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A. Provide some advice for speakers. B. Add some background information. C. Introduce a new topic for discussion. D. Clarify a concept in the previous paragraph. 13. What does the deaf-blind gentleman stress about pro-tactile ASL? A. It follows very strict rules. B. It requires practice to master. C. It builds bonds among users. D. It will replace traditional ASL. 14. Why is context important to pro-tactile ASL? A. Signs may feel alike. B. Gestures change often. C. Words can be hard to sign. D. Sentences have different meanings. 15. What does the word “this” underlined in the last paragraph refer to? A. The use of multiple senses. B. The essence of communication. C. The role of touch in communication. D. The development of tactile systems. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍了美国华盛顿州为聋盲人创造的触觉手语，其起源、使用原理、特点及流行情况，体现了沟通的本质是人与人之间的理解。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“While humans that can speak tend to use different kinds of additional sensory signals to help those with hearing disabilities — like making hand gestures or faces — touching to communicate is usually reserved for those with incredibly close human connections. (能够说话的人通常会使用各种额外的感官信号来帮助听力障碍者，例如用手势或面部表情。而通过触摸进行交流，则一般仅限于与人类关系极为亲密的人群。)”可知，该段补充了触觉交流的传统使用场景，为下文介绍聋盲人的触觉手语提供背景信息。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“With the help of an ASL interpreter, the man explained that learning this language follows the same principle as learning any other: it’s about connecting with the community that speaks it. (在一位美国手语翻译的帮助下，这名男子解释说，学习这门语言与学习其他任何语言一样遵循着相同的原则：关键在于与讲这门语言的社区建立联系。)”可知，聋盲男士强调触觉手语能在使用者之间建立联结。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Notably, while a closed fist at the end of a forearm could mean a number of things, such as a hammer (锤子) or a lollipop or many others, it’s the context of the sentence that will help both sides of the communication to the correct inference. (值得注意的是，虽然前臂末端握紧拳头可能有多种含义，比如锤子、棒棒糖或其他许多事物，但句子的具体语境将帮助双方正确推断其意义。)”可知，触觉手语的某些手势含义多样，语境能帮助区分，即手势可能让人产生相似的感受，需语境辅助判断。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“It’s important to understand that communication is not defined simply by a domain of words and mouth sounds, but it’s a way of understanding between individuals. Going back to this was what pushed this pro-tactile system to grow. (重要的是要明白，沟通并不仅仅由语言和口头声音定义，它更是人与人之间相互理解的一种方式。回归这一点正是推动这种触觉交流系统发展的原因。)”可知，this指代上文提到的沟通的本质——人与人之间的理解。 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 Empathy (共情), the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, is often described as the foundation of meaningful communication. ____16____ Empathy requires stepping into another’s shoes, recognizing their emotions, and responding in a way that accepts their experience. This difference matters because empathy strengthens connection, while sympathy can sometimes create distance. A parent who acknowledges a child’s frustration (I see you’re upset because your toy broke) rather than dismiss it (It’s just a toy) helps the child feel heard, enhancing trust. Similarly, in friendships, empathizing with a friend’s anxiety about a test (That sounds really stressful) builds deeper bonds than offering quick solutions (You’ll do fine). ____17____ ____18____ Managers who practice empathetic communication are better at motivating teams. For example, instead of simply assigning a tight deadline, a manager might say, “I know this project will require extra hours and I appreciate how hard you’ve been working — let’s discuss how we can support each other to get it done.” ____19____ Colleagues who empathize with one another’s workloads are also more likely to offer help, creating a supportive workplace culture. Empathy starts with active listening — paying attention to both words and nonverbal cues. It also involves asking open-ended questions (How did that make you feel?) to encourage others to share more, rather than jumping to conclusions. ____20____ In a world often divided by differing opinions, it offers a bridge — reminding us that behind every argument, every frustration, every joy, there is a human experience worth understanding. A. In professional settings, empathy is of equal importance. B. This approach reduces dissatisfaction and encourages cooperation. C. It goes beyond sympathy, which involves feeling sorry for someone. D. Over time, these habits become second nature, making bonds stronger. E. By contrast, sympathy encourages people to solve others’ problems directly. F. These moments of recognition let others know they are not alone in their feelings. G. Without enough practice, even the strongest empathy skills will gradually disappear. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. A 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了共情的定义、重要性、在不同场景中的应用，以及培养共情的方法，强调共情是有意义沟通的基础。 【16题详解】 上文“Empathy (共情), the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, is often described as the foundation of meaningful communication. (共情是理解和分享他人感受的能力，通常被描述为有意义沟通的基础)”给出了共情的定义，下文“This difference matters because empathy strengthens connection, while sympathy can sometimes create distance. (这种区别很重要，因为共情能加强联系，而同情有时会制造距离)”提到了共情与同情的区别。C选项“它超越了同情，同情只是为某人感到难过”承接上文对共情的定义，引出下文“difference”所指的“共情与同情的区别”，符合语境。故选C。 【17题详解】 上文“Similarly, in friendships, empathizing with a friend’s anxiety about a test (That sounds really stressful) builds deeper bonds than offering quick solutions (You’ll do fine). (同样，在友谊中，共情朋友对考试的焦虑(这听起来压力真大！)比直接给出快速解决方案(你会没事的)更能建立深厚的联系)”描述了共情在友谊中的积极作用。F选项“这些被认可的时刻让别人知道他们的感受并不孤单”承接上文“共情能建立深厚联系”的观点，解释了共情带来的具体效果，符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 下文“Managers who practice empathetic communication are better at motivating teams. (运用共情沟通的管理者更善于激励团队)”及“Colleagues who empathize with one another’s workloads are also more likely to offer help, creating a supportive workplace culture. (相互共情工作量的同事也更可能提供帮助，从而营造出一种相互支持的工作环境)”介绍了共情在职场中的重要性。A选项“在专业场景中，共情同样重要”引出下文对职场中共情作用的具体阐述，符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 上文“For example, instead of simply assigning a tight deadline, a manager might say, “I know this project will require extra hours and I appreciate how hard you’ve been working — let’s discuss how we can support each other to get it done.” (例如，管理者不会简单地分配紧迫的截止日期，而是会说：“我知道这个项目需要加班，我很感激你一直以来的努力，让我们讨论如何互相支持来完成它。”)”描述了管理者运用共情沟通的具体做法。B选项“这种方法减少不满，鼓励合作”承接上文管理者的共情沟通方式，说明其带来的积极效果，符合语境。故选B。 【20题详解】 上文“Empathy starts with active listening — paying attention to both words and nonverbal cues. It also involves asking open-ended questions (How did that make you feel?) to encourage others to share more, rather than jumping to conclusions. (共情始于积极倾听，关注语言和非语言信号。它还包括提出开放式问题(这让你感觉如何？)鼓励他人分享更多，而不是急于下结论)”介绍了培养共情的具体做法。D选项“久而久之，这些习惯会成为第二天性，让关系更牢固”承接上文提到的“积极倾听、开放式提问”等习惯，说明长期坚持这些做法的效果，符合语境。故选D。 四、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 Jason Joel’s life story is not just about running.

It was a normal Wednesday morning, and Mrs. Coco’s Chinese class was going on as usual. The students sat straight with their textbooks in hand, reading a poem together. Their voices went up and down like small waves, mixing with the sound of pages being turned and the singing of birds outside. Suddenly, a quick movement caught Peter’s eye. A little bird — a sparrow with messy feathers and a scared look — had flown in through the open door of the hallway and was now stuck inside the classroom. The glass windows were closed tight to keep out the autumn cold. The bird’s wings hit the windows with loud noise desperately, and its tiny claws (爪子) left light marks on the glass. The reading stopped for a moment. Peter, who was known for being naughty (顽皮的), stopped in the middle of a sentence, and his textbook slipped from his hand. The bird’s fear spread to everyone: it flew quickly from one window to another, hitting the“unseen wall”again and again. Some girls covered their mouths, surprised; others bent forward, more curious than afraid of disturbing the class. Mrs. Coco, though, stayed focused on the lesson. Her voice kept leading the reading, steady and firm. But her sharp eyes had already noticed the noise. She paused for a second, looking around the room, and then told the students to go on. Peter’s heart beat fast. He watched the bird’s useless struggle — its wings clearly getting tired. The classroom felt very quiet now. The only sounds were the bird’s scared flying and the faraway noise of cars passing by. He looked at Mrs. Coco, whose face stayed calm, and then at his classmates, who were all looking at the trapped little bird. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the bird stopped, Peter suddenly left his seat. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Contrary to what the students assumed, Mrs. Coco praised Peter. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: As the bird stopped, Peter suddenly left his seat. The chair scraped loudly against the floor, making everyone turn their attention to him. Without a word, he walked quickly to the window. His fingers fumbled a little, but he managed to push the window open. A fresh breeze rushed in. The bird, as if sensing hope, flew weakly toward the open space. With one last effort, it flew out, disappearing into the sky. The classroom stayed silent for a second before someone whispered, “It’s free” Peter stood by the window, looking relieved. Turning back, he saw Mrs. Coco standing behind him, her eyes fixed on him. Contrary to what the students assumed, Mrs. Coco praised Peter. She walked to the front of the class and said, “Peter’s action shows us what kindness and courage really mean. A true student doesn’t only master knowledge from books, but also cares for every living thing around us.” The classmates burst into applause, and Peter’s face turned red with embarrassment and joy. From that day on, the naughty boy became more responsible, and the classroom always felt warmer — for everyone had learned a lesson more precious than any poem they’d ever read. 【解析】 【导语】本文以课堂上被困的麻雀为线索展开，讲述了可可老师的语文课上，一只麻雀误入教室被困，拼命撞击窗户挣扎。调皮的彼得心系小鸟，看着它逐渐疲惫，在全班同学和老师的注视下，内心纠结不已的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“当小鸟停下时，彼得突然离开了座位。”可知，第一段可描写彼得起身走到窗边推开窗户，小鸟趁机飞走，彼得面露释然，可可老师也走到了他身后。 ②由第二段首句内容“与学生们预想的相反，可可老师表扬了彼得。”可知，第二段可描写老师称赞彼得的善良与勇气，同学们鼓掌，彼得又羞又喜，此后变得更有责任感。 2. 续写线索：彼得起身救鸟——推开窗户放飞小鸟——老师注视彼得——老师当众表扬彼得——阐述善良的意义——彼得转变，班级氛围更温暖 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①称赞：praise/commend ②关爱：care for/cherish ③突然爆发出掌声：burst into applause/break into applause 情绪类 ①欣慰：relieved/gratified ②惊喜：joy/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】The chair scraped loudly against the floor, making everyone turn their attention to him.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） 【高分句型2】A true student doesn’t only master knowledge from books, but also cares for every living thing around us.（运用了“not only...but also...”连接并列谓语的结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年上学期高一期末教学质量测试 英语 注意事项: 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 一、听力-选择题：本大题共20小题，共30分。 1.What was the weather like in the mountains yesterday?

A new line of research now seeks to understand how people, including children, interact with chatbots and other virtual agents. “Little kids learn from characters, and our tools of education already rely on the parasocial (准社会) relationships that they form,” said David Bickham, PhD, a health communication researcher based at Boston Children’s Hospital. “How are kids forming a relationship with these AI tools, what does that look like, and how might that impact the ability of AI to teach?” In a series of studies, Randi Williams, a program manager at the Algorithmic Justice League, observed interactions between young children and robots. Williams and her colleagues found that children associated a more human-sounding and expressive voice in agents with higher friendliness and intelligence. Among teenagers, the use of generative AI is already widespread. For 70 percent who reported using at least one such tool in a 2024 Common Sense Media survey of 1,045 teenagers aged 13 to 18, after-school assignments were the most common reason. About half of those who used generative AI for schoolwork did so with permission from a teacher. A similar number checked the validity of generative AI outputs using outside sources, suggesting that many students are aware of the fallibility (出错性) of such tools. “Teens have quite a complicated and nuanced (微妙的) view of AI,” said Beck Tench, an information scientist at the Center for Digital Thriving. “They report that they feel conflicted, and are having just as many excitements and concerns as we do as adults, including worries about misinformation, awareness that it will change their work prospects, and enthusiasm about its potential to advance science, creativity, and humanity.” There are many questions that remain, including how to study and promote the children-AI relationships that safeguard children’s security and personal data — issues that researchers need to address. The Center for Digital Thriving offers guidelines for talking to the youth about generative AI, including asking children whether they have ever heard about AI getting something wrong. 4. What did Randi Williams find out in their research? A. Children preferred humanlike robots. B. Children thought robots wiser than themselves. C. Children were doubtful about what the robots presented. D. Children interacting with robots tended to be more friendly. 5. In which field does generative AI help teenagers most nowadays? A. Creative projects. B. Science learning. C. Homework. D. Entertainment. 6. What is teenagers’ general attitude toward AI according to Beck Tench? A. Appreciative. B. Unclear. C. Dismissive. D. Mixed. 7. What is a concern regarding children’s relationships with AI? A. It will make them less social. B. It might raise safety and privacy issues. C. It could affect their academic performance. D. It may limit their ability to handle challenges. C How do we really talk fluently with each other? Well, human languages seem to be shaped by a couple of underlying principles that help simplify communication. The haphazardness (随意性) of the signal is the first principle. This concept, first established by De Saussure, a linguist from Switzerland, relates to how we pair sounds with meanings. For instance, the sound “dog” doesn’t refer to a dog in itself; it doesn’t bark like a dog, nor does it walk like a dog. This word has no intrinsic (固有的) “dogness”, yet it holds its meaning. Why is that? Because every English speaker has learned to make the same connection between the sound “dog” and the animal through repeated memorization and use. The haphazardness of the signal has been a massive advantage for speech communities because it enables them to communicate concepts immediately without having to explain why a specific sound corresponds to a particular meaning. The other principle has been that languages create an infinite (无限的) number of expressions from a limited set of elements. In Layman’s words, we possess a limited group of vocabulary that we may mix and match to form unlimited number of larger structures, such as sentences. We generate these unlimited possible combinations by following rules that govern how words are combined. For instance, is there a distinction between “the dog bites the man” and “the man bites the dog”? Aside from one of them being a disastrous daily incidence and the second one being attention-grabbing, the difference is in the basic grammar that guides sense. Each of the words in “the dog bites the man” possesses a specific sense that does not rely on the full phrase. Grammar has been the thing that lets us structure that vocabulary in particular mixtures to remind people of particular meanings and images. There is a finite number of words; however, grammar offers us an infinite number of ways to combine them. 8. What can we learn about the “haphazardness of the signal”? A. It ensures the fluency of speech. B. It makes languages easier to learn. C. It may result in misunderstanding. D. It speeds up concept communication. 9. Why does the author quote Layman’s words in paragraph 4? A. To criticise an out-dated theory. B. To clarify an abstract concept. C. To introduce a new topic. D. To provide a real-life example. 10. What does the example “the dog bites the man” show? A. Minimal words can express deep meaning. B. A less common event can challenge people’s belief. C. Grammar shapes meaning through the organization of words. D. Meaning determines the quantity of words used in daily speech. 11. What’s the main idea of the text? A. The rules governing word formation. B. The complexity of daily communication. C. The development of grammatical structure. D. The principles of language communication. D For some people, hearing and seeing are luxuries that they don’t possess, yet this doesn’t mean they can’t communicate. In fact, there’s a special community in Washington State that has created their own language known as pro-tactile ASL (触觉手语), which has gained recognition in recent years. While humans that can speak tend to use different kinds of additional sensory signals to help those with hearing disabilities — like making hand gestures or faces — touching to communicate is usually reserved for those with incredibly close human connections. But when it comes to people who cannot hear or see, language is becoming even way more tactile. Pro-tactile ASL, reportedly born from the spirit of human connection, is used by these people as their communication media. Katherine Ellen Foley, a writer, described a first-hand encounter with a deaf-blind American gentleman who used pro-tactile ASL. With the help of an ASL interpreter, the man explained that learning this language follows the same principle as learning any other: it’s about connecting with the community that speaks it. Foley gave the example “I climb a tree,” where the signer takes someone’s arm and does the sign for walking up the arm as if the arm were a tree. When it comes to “lollipop (棒棒糖),” it’s almost the same, except that the signer uses a closed fist for the candy part. Notably, while a closed fist at the end of a forearm could mean a number of things, such as a hammer (锤子) or a lollipop or many others, it’s the context of the sentence that will help both sides of the communication to the correct inference. In America, the possible number of people who are blind and deaf is around 50,000, and this new type of language is becoming increasingly popular. It’s important to understand that communication is not defined simply by a domain of words and mouth sounds, but it’s a way of understanding between individuals. Going back to this was what pushed this pro-tactile system to grow. 12. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A. Provide some advice for speakers. B. Add some background information. C. Introduce a new topic for discussion. D. Clarify a concept in the previous paragraph. 13. What does the deaf-blind gentleman stress about pro-tactile ASL? A. It follows very strict rules. B. It requires practice to master. C. It builds bonds among users. D. It will replace traditional ASL. 14. Why is context important to pro-tactile ASL? A. Signs may feel alike. B. Gestures change often. C. Words can be hard to sign. D. Sentences have different meanings. 15. What does the word “this” underlined in the last paragraph refer to? A. The use of multiple senses. B. The essence of communication. C. The role of touch in communication. D. The development of tactile systems. 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 Empathy (共情), the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, is often described as the foundation of meaningful communication. ____16____ Empathy requires stepping into another’s shoes, recognizing their emotions, and responding in a way that accepts their experience. This difference matters because empathy strengthens connection, while sympathy can sometimes create distance. A parent who acknowledges a child’s frustration (I see you’re upset because your toy broke) rather than dismiss it (It’s just a toy) helps the child feel heard, enhancing trust. Similarly, in friendships, empathizing with a friend’s anxiety about a test (That sounds really stressful) builds deeper bonds than offering quick solutions (You’ll do fine). ____17____ ____18____ Managers who practice empathetic communication are better at motivating teams. For example, instead of simply assigning a tight deadline, a manager might say, “I know this project will require extra hours and I appreciate how hard you’ve been working — let’s discuss how we can support each other to get it done.” ____19____ Colleagues who empathize with one another’s workloads are also more likely to offer help, creating a supportive workplace culture. Empathy starts with active listening — paying attention to both words and nonverbal cues. It also involves asking open-ended questions (How did that make you feel?) to encourage others to share more, rather than jumping to conclusions. ____20____ In a world often divided by differing opinions, it offers a bridge — reminding us that behind every argument, every frustration, every joy, there is a human experience worth understanding. A. In professional settings, empathy is of equal importance. B. This approach reduces dissatisfaction and encourages cooperation. C. It goes beyond sympathy, which involves feeling sorry for someone. D. Over time, these habits become second nature, making bonds stronger. E. By contrast, sympathy encourages people to solve others’ problems directly. F. These moments of recognition let others know they are not alone in their feelings. G. Without enough practice, even the strongest empathy skills will gradually disappear. 四、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 Jason Joel’s life story is not just about running.

It was a normal Wednesday morning, and Mrs. Coco’s Chinese class was going on as usual. The students sat straight with their textbooks in hand, reading a poem together. Their voices went up and down like small waves, mixing with the sound of pages being turned and the singing of birds outside. Suddenly, a quick movement caught Peter’s eye. A little bird — a sparrow with messy feathers and a scared look — had flown in through the open door of the hallway and was now stuck inside the classroom. The glass windows were closed tight to keep out the autumn cold. The bird’s wings hit the windows with loud noise desperately, and its tiny claws (爪子) left light marks on the glass. The reading stopped for a moment. Peter, who was known for being naughty (顽皮的), stopped in the middle of a sentence, and his textbook slipped from his hand. The bird’s fear spread to everyone: it flew quickly from one window to another, hitting the“unseen wall”again and again. Some girls covered their mouths, surprised; others bent forward, more curious than afraid of disturbing the class. Mrs. Coco, though, stayed focused on the lesson. Her voice kept leading the reading, steady and firm. But her sharp eyes had already noticed the noise. She paused for a second, looking around the room, and then told the students to go on. Peter’s heart beat fast. He watched the bird’s useless struggle — its wings clearly getting tired. The classroom felt very quiet now. The only sounds were the bird’s scared flying and the faraway noise of cars passing by. He looked at Mrs. Coco, whose face stayed calm, and then at his classmates, who were all looking at the trapped little bird. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the bird stopped, Peter suddenly left his seat. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Contrary to what the students assumed, Mrs. Coco praised Peter. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
