It’s a complex question. Scientists have long debated the nature versus nurture issue. One thing is certain: both play significant roles. Our genetic makeup influences our temperament, intelligence, and even our susceptibility to certain diseases. However, the environment we grow up in — our family, school, culture, and life experiences — can 16 ______ modify these innate tendencies. For instance, a child born with a shy temperament may become outgoing if encouraged by a supportive family. 17 ______, a naturally confident child might become withdrawn if constantly criticized. Studies on twins have provided fascinating insights. Identical twins, who share 100% of their genes, often show striking similarities even when raised apart. Yet, they also exhibit differences that can be attributed to their unique 18 ______. This suggests that while genes provide a blueprint, the environment 19 ______ the final structure. The debate is not merely academic; it has real-world implications for education, parenting, and mental health. Understanding that both factors are at work can help us 20 ______ more effective strategies to support individual development. After all, each person is a unique combination of heredity and experience, and this 21 ______ makes human beings endlessly fascinating. In conclusion, it is not a matter of “either/or” but “both/and.” Our genes set the stage, but our life 22 ______ write the script. So, whether you are more like your parents or your peers, remember that you have the 23 ______ to shape your own destiny. The key is to understand your 24 ______ and make the most of the opportunities that come your way. This is the essence of personal 25 ______. 16. A. barely    B. dramatically    C. slightly    D. rarely 17. A. Moreover    B. Therefore    C. Conversely    D. Subsequently 18. A. experiences    B. performances    C. appearances    D. preferences 19. A. ignores    B. challenges    C. shapes    D. reveals 20. A. design    B. copy    C. simplify    D. abandon 21. A. conflict    B. diversity    C. similarity    D. continuity 22. A. choices    B. demands    C. problems    D. fears 23. A. right    B. power    C. task    D. duty 24. A. weaknesses    B. strengths    C. limitations    D. potential 25. A. growth    B. loss    C. competition    D. satisfaction 三、阅读理解(共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分) A Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the way we live and work. From voice assistants to self-driving cars, AI is becoming increasingly integrated into our daily routines. However, its impact on education is particularly noteworthy. In the classroom, AI can personalise learning. Adaptive learning platforms adjust the difficulty of exercises based on a student’s performance, ensuring that each learner is challenged at the right level. This addresses the traditional problem of one-size-fits-all teaching. Moreover, AI can automate administrative tasks, freeing up teachers to focus on instruction and student interaction. Grading assignments, tracking attendance, and even providing instant feedback on essays are now possible with AI tools. This allows educators to spend more time on creative and supportive activities. However, the rise of AI also raises concerns. Critics worry about data privacy and the risk of bias in algorithms. There is also the fear that AI might replace teachers altogether. Yet, most experts agree that AI will augment rather than replace educators. The human touch — empathy, encouragement, and inspiration — remains irreplaceable. As we embrace AI in education, we must strike a balance. We should use technology to enhance learning while preserving the essential human elements. The future of education lies in a partnership between humans and machines, working together to unlock every student’s potential. 26. What is the main advantage of AI in education according to the passage? A. It can replace teachers completely.    B. It can personalise learning and automate tasks. C. It reduces the cost of education.    D. It makes schools more efficient. 27. What does “adaptive learning platforms” do? A. They assign the same tasks to all students.    B. They adjust difficulty based on student performance. C. They replace textbooks.    D. They evaluate teachers. 28. Critics of AI in education are concerned about _______. A. the cost of AI tools    B. data privacy and algorithmic bias C. the decrease in student numbers    D. the lack of qualified teachers 29. The word “augment” in the fourth paragraph most probably means _______. A. replace    B. improve    C. reduce    D. change 30. What is the author’s attitude towards AI in education? A. Strongly opposed.    B. Supportive but cautious.    C. Completely indifferent.    D. Overly optimistic. B (Elena — a young artist; Mr. Stone — an elderly painter; Oakville — a peaceful town) Elena had always dreamed of becoming a famous painter, but she was discouraged by her lack of formal training. One day, she met Mr. Stone, a retired painter who lived in a cottage by the river. He offered to teach her, but on one condition: she must paint something every day, no matter how small. At first, Elena produced uninspired sketches. She felt frustrated and wanted to give up. Mr. Stone said, “Talent is a seed. It grows only with daily watering — that is, practice.” He showed her his own early works, which were no better than hers. “The difference,” he said, “is not in talent, but in persistence.” Elena followed his advice. She painted every morning, even when she felt uninspired. Gradually, her skills improved. Her lines became more confident, her colours more harmonious. She began to find her own style. After a year, she held her first exhibition. Many people admired her works, and some even bought them. Elena realised that success was not about overnight brilliance, but about steady effort. She thanked Mr. Stone, who smiled and said, “You did it yourself. I only pointed the way.” 31. What was Elena’s main problem at the beginning? A. She had no talent at all.    B. She lacked confidence because of no formal training. C. She couldn’t afford painting materials.    D. She didn’t like Mr. Stone. 32. What condition did Mr. Stone set for teaching Elena? A. She must pay him a high fee.    B. She must paint something every day. C. She must show him her previous works.    D. She must help him with housework. 33. Mr. Stone compared talent to a seed because _______. A. seeds are very expensive    B. talent needs constant practice to grow C. seeds are difficult to find    D. talent is inherited 34. How did Elena’s painting skills change over the year? A. They remained the same.    B. They improved gradually. C. They got worse.    D. They fluctuated wildly. 35. What lesson does this story mainly convey? A. Talent is everything.    B. Hard work and persistence lead to success. C. Teachers are not important.    D. Art is easy to learn. C Over the past decade, the concept of “slow living” has gained traction in many parts of the world. In response to the fast-paced, always-on culture, people are choosing to slow down and focus on quality rather than quantity. Slow living is not about laziness; it’s about being mindful. It means savouring meals, engaging in meaningful conversations, and spending time in nature. It encourages us to disconnect from digital distractions and reconnect with ourselves and our communities. Research suggests that adopting a slower pace can reduce stress, improve mental health, and increase overall happiness. When we rush, we often miss the small joys of life—the aroma of coffee, the warmth of sunlight, the laughter of a friend. However, critics argue that slow living is a privilege of the wealthy and may not be practical for everyone. In a competitive world, many people have to work long hours just to make ends meet. Still, advocates believe that even small changes, such as taking a few minutes to breathe deeply or walking instead of driving, can make a difference. Ultimately, slow living is a personal choice. It invites us to examine our priorities and live more intentionally. In a world that constantly urges us to do more, maybe the bravest thing we can do is to pause. 36. What is the main idea of slow living? A. To work less and play more.    B. To be mindful and focus on quality. C. To abandon technology completely.    D. To live a lazy life. 37. According to research, slow living can _______. A. increase wealth    B. reduce stress and improve mental health C. make people less productive    D. cause boredom 38. One criticism of slow living is that _______. A. it is too simple    B. it may not be accessible to everyone C. it is only for old people    D. it has no benefits 39. The word “advocates” in the fourth paragraph most probably means _______. A. opponents    B. supporters    C. researchers    D. critics 40. What is the author’s tone in the last paragraph? A. Sarcastic.    B. Encouraging and reflective.    C. Pessimistic.    D. Neutral. D David was a successful architect, but he felt a growing emptiness inside. He had achieved all his career goals, yet he was not happy. One evening, he stumbled upon an old journal from his college days. In it, he had written: “My dream is not to build tall buildings, but to build homes where people feel loved.” He realised that somewhere along the way, he had lost sight of his true purpose. He decided to make a change. He quit his high-paying job and started a nonprofit that builds affordable, community-centred housing. He worked with volunteers to construct small, eco-friendly houses for families in need. The work was hard and the pay was low, but David felt more fulfilled than ever. He saw the smiles of the families who moved into their new homes. He heard their stories of hope and gratitude. He finally understood that success is not measured by money or fame, but by the impact we have on others. Today, David’s organisation has built over 200 homes. He often says, “The greatest architecture is not in steel and glass, but in the human heart.” 41. What was David’s original career? A. A teacher.    B. An architect.    C. A volunteer.    D. A writer. 42. What did David find in his old journal? A. His first drawing.    B. His original dream of building homes for love. C. His financial records.    D. A letter from his college professor. 43. What change did David make in his life? A. He moved to another city.    B. He started a nonprofit to build affordable housing. C. He retired early.    D. He became a politician. 44. How did David feel about his new work? A. Tired and regretful.    B. Fulfilled and happy. C. Bored and disappointed.    D. Confused and uncertain. 45. What is the main message of this story? A. Money brings happiness.    B. True success lies in helping others. C. Architecture is a useless profession.    D. Everyone should start a nonprofit. 第II卷(非选择题) 四、用单词或短语的正确形式完成短文(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) 从方框中选择适当的单词或短语填空，使短文内容完整正确。方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。 A. get into the habit   B. Secondly   C. seriously   D.

I also plan to volunteer at a local hospital to gain experience. I believe that with determination and hard work, I can make my dream come true. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
