Originality AI detects whether text is written by humans or by AI. It can also determine if text is copied. With this AI checker, you can ensure better quality control before publication.
Originality AI was trained on 160GB of text and millions of samples, labeled as either human-written or AI-written. You can choose from 4 models depending on your content needs. A 2026 report published the following accuracy and false positive rates (the rate at which original writing is wrongly marked as non-original or AI-generated) for each model:
Originality AI Model
Brief Introduction
Accuracy Rate
False Positive Rate
Lite
This model allows for light AI editing.
99%
0.5%
Turbo
This model is built for strict zero-tolerance policies, detecting even tiny traces of AI.
99%+
1.5%
Academic
This model delivers similar accuracy with <1% false positives.
99%+
<1%
Multi-language
This is for non-English languages and supports 30 languages.
97.8%
2.4%
Originality AI feels smooth in daily use. Scans run quickly, usually in seconds, and the color-coded results make it easy to understand which parts of the text are flagged. New users can get started with basic scans almost immediately. The bulk (批量) scanning feature is a huge plus, and the clean, no-nonsense interface makes it easy to jump in with zero learning.
Originality AI is worth the subscription, as it delivers reliable detection. That said, it isn’t without downsides. A common concern among users is balancing accuracy with cost. Its credit-based pricing makes it best suited for professionals, agencies, or teams that regularly review content quality. For occasional or one-off checks, the value may feel less attractive.
21. What is Originality AI designed to do?
A. Create human-like text content. B. Check the originality of written texts.
C. Correct mistakes in articles. D. Collect data for training AI models.
22. Which model performs the least reliably overall?
A. Lite. B. Turbo. C. Academic. D. Multi-language.
23. What is an advantage of Originality AI?
A. User-friendly operation. B. Free testing for beginners.
C. No Internet required. D. No subscription needed.

“Everything you see tonight will be made up on the spot: every scene, every line, and every character will be for tonight and tonight only,” the groups announced to their excited audience. Nine times a term, McDonnell Hall 162 is transformed from a lecture hall into a stage. The room is packed with students filling every seat and staircase to watch their fellow students create characters and stories, bits and scenes, all in front of their very eyes. They come to see IMPROV.
K. A. R. L. is one of the University’s three IMPROV groups, along with MPR and Suspicious of Whistlers. When asked about why and how he got involved with K. A. R. L., Max Church reflected on a memory of a K. A. R. L. show he watched upon visiting his sister at Washington University before he was a student. “I wasn’t into theater in high school, but once I saw people just go on stage and just have fun with their friends, I knew it was something I wanted to be part of.”
Max auditioned (面试) for the IMPROV group in his freshman year. One warm-up activity in particular, where auditionees are placed in groups of three and then have the opportunity to give a funny remark based on the person before them, caught his attention. “It helps auditionees realize they, as a group, can make a scene out of anything,” he said.
“Having unconditional support from your scene partners is not something that happens in day-to-day life. It only happens in this space, where you’re told to stop thinking about yourself. The focus is the scene, not you,” Max describes a trip to Chicago that the three groups attended, which was a great opportunity to watch different IMPROV as well as create a bond with the groups and the IMPROV community.
24. What is IMPROV according to the text?
A. An award ceremony. B. An academic lecture.
C. A live performance. D. A campus movie.
25. Which word best describes Max’s joining K. A. R. L.?
A. Challenging. B. Eventful. C. Lengthy. D. Accidental.
26. What impressed Max most during the audition?
A. The large number of auditionees. B. The instant comments session.
C. Auditionees’ attempt to break rules. D. Professional help from others.
27. What did the three groups gain from the Chicago trip?
A. They secured financial support. B. They built stronger ties.
C. They focused on inner thoughts. D. They won great reputation.

China on Monday successfully launched the Tianzhou-10 cargo spacecraft (货运飞船) from the Wenchang Space Launch Site, carrying not only supplies for the Chinese space station, but also a pioneering study on the development of “artificial embryos (胚胎)” in space. The mission marks the world’s first attempt to investigate how embryo-like structures develop under real microgravity and universal radiation conditions.
Tianzhou-10 carried 67 scientific items weighing more than 768 kilograms to support 41 space science experiments. These projects include life sciences, biotechnology, microgravity physics, astronomy, and Earth science. Among them, the embryo experiment has drawn particular attention.
Yu Leqian, the artificial embryo project’s manager, explained that real human embryos are extremely difficult to obtain for large-scale scientific research. Artificial embryos are structures constructed from stem cells that closely look like real embryos. They are not true embryos and cannot develop into an individual human being, but they help study early human embryonic development.
According to Yu, the embryo models used in the experiment correspond roughly to a crucial stage of human development between days 14 and 21 after fertilization (受精). It is an extremely important developmental window. Within just a few days, the early forms of all organs begin to develop. Many early development-related diseases, such as deformities and born heart disease, are closely associated with this period. The goal of the research is to understand how gravity shapes life itself and what effects space conditions may have on this critical process.
During the mission, the artificial embryos will develop for five days aboard the station under the monitoring of Chinese astronauts. Automated systems will replace nutrient solutions daily. Samples will be frozen in orbit and later returned to Earth for detailed laboratory analysis.
“This is our first attempt to answer whether humans can survive and reproduce in space. I hope the answer will be yes,” Yu said.
28. Why has the artificial embryo project attracted particular attention?
A. It covers five major research fields. B. It helps explore the origin of embryos.
C. It aims to cure humans of genetic diseases. D. It is the first artificial embryo research in space.
29. What do we know about artificial embryos from Yu Leqian?
A. They are made from human embryos. B. They are widely used in space research.
C. They are an alternative to real embryos. D. They are able to grow into human beings.
30. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. Gravity can be ignored in the embryo experiment.
B. Space conditions may affect early organs’ forming.
C. Artificial embryos will be put into mass production.
D. Artificial embryos may be free from human diseases.
31. What is Yu’s attitude to artificial embryos research in space?
A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Unconcerned. D. Worried.
D
The Great Salt Lake is a ticking environmental bomb. It has lost 73% of its volume and is likely to collapse within the next 5 years, releasing dust loaded with poisonous amounts of mercury (汞), arsenic (砷), and selenium (硒) downwind, where 2.5 million people live. Ellis’ new documentary, The Lake, which won a Special Jury Award, follows three individuals — two scientists and a state official — who see the upcoming disaster and are fighting to save the lake.
The Great Salt Lake is North America’s largest terminal lake — a lake into which water flows but none leaves, except through evaporation (蒸发). The lake and its wetlands provide food and habitat for 10 million migratory birds and wildlife, support the local economy, and protect local air and water quality and weather. However, like all terminal lakes, it is highly sensitive to climate change and water shifts. Human water usage — 74% by local farmers — is the main water loss on The Great Salt Lake.
Microbiologist Baxter, her colleague Abbott, and state official Steed develop a joint strategic plan for saving the lake. The film follows the daily painstaking work of these three supporters as they talk with local community members.
A surprising and reflective theme of the film is the crossing of environmental concerns and faith. Nearly 50% of the Salt Lake City community are members of the Church of Jesus Christ. They believe that “God is in charge. When he is ready to fill the lake, it will be filled.” For them, faith is motivating.
While Baxter and Abbott both work tirelessly to save the lake, they struggle to balance their work as scientists and public supporters. For them, “Science is the most powerful tool to identify reliable truth about what is going on in the earth’s system, but science can’t determine what we do with that truth.”
The Lake is a quietly fascinating film that will hopefully inspire the Salt Lake community and the governor to find a way to get water quickly into the lake to save it from collapse. This film provides hope that scientists can work with communities to provide solutions.
32. What is the direct environmental danger if the Great Salt Lake collapses?
A. Wetlands disappearing in the local areas.
B. Extreme weather affecting nearby cities.
C. The improvement of local air and water quality.
D. The release of dust with poisonous heavy metals.
33. What affects local people’s attitude toward the lake crisis most?
A. Their religious beliefs. B. Their daily habits.
C. Their job backgrounds. D. Their economic needs.
34. What do Baxter and Abbott think of science?
A. It can help balance their work and faith.
B. It lacks the power to recognize reliable truth.
C. It can stop disasters from happening on the earth.
D. It is insufficient to guide human actions in the crisis.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A documentary: a tool to predict the disaster
B. The upcoming collapse of the Great Salt Lake
C. The Great Salt Lake: A Unique Natural Attraction
D. The effect of climate change on the Great Salt Lake
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to boost your memory
There are only two certainties in life: death and forgetting. ____36____ But with the following strategies — and a bit of effort — you can tackle some of life’s trickiest memory challenges.
Use meaning
We can be terrible at remembering new information such as names, and yet effortlessly bring to mind personally meaningful information. If you’re a football fan, you might find you naturally remember facts about your team’s newly signed player but struggle to recall the name of a new colleague. ____37____ Try to associate names with distinctive features, such as “double-chin Dave”.
Use your imagination
There is massive overlap (重叠) between the brain’s circuitry (神经回路) for memory and imagination. Perhaps you are at work and realize that today is your wedding anniversary, and want to remember to buy a gift for your partner on your way home. Imagine your future self riding the train, passing a lavender (薰衣草) farm. ____38____ The act of imagining this series of events will plant a vivid memory in your brain, and later, when you are actually on your way home, that memory will come back to life, reminding you to run out to the store.
Make mistakes
When learning a word in a foreign language, people will focus on the right answer — for instance, by reading the word and its meaning aloud. ____39____ Most of the time your guess will be wrong, but those wrong guesses can be the best way to make the right answer stick.
____40____ It is likely that you will remember only a small part of your life experiences. Ask, “What do I want to remember?” Answer that question and the rest will be easy.
A. So take a deep breath and trust the process.
B. Those purple flowers remind you to get some flowers.
C. To conclude, it’s important to remember with intention.
D. Why not memorize the words after knowing their meanings?
E. What if you tried to guess the meaning before you learn the right answer?
F. With more meanings and fun facts, you can remember names more easily.
G. Forgetfulness can leave us feeling embarrassed, frustrated, even frightened.

As part of my New Year’s resolution, I decided it was time to get my driver’s license. I’ve said I would do it for five years now, yet I never ____41____ it. Driving felt like a teenager’s thing, not something you began in your twenties, and I convinced myself I had somehow ____42____ my window.
When I finally sat in the driver’s seat last week, my ____43____ asked if I had ever driven before. I admitted this was my first time. Saying it out felt ____44____ , like admitting I couldn’t ride a bike. I imagined people ____45____ me, wondering why I hadn’t done this sooner.
What started as anxiety about not being able to drive ____46____ anxiety about everything else, like not having moved out of my parents’ house yet and not having travelled to countless countries. Suddenly, all my quiet ____47____ resurfaced.
Of course, ____48____ reasons delayed my learning. Living in a city with convenient public transport, the cost of lessons, and the expense of owning a car all ____49____ careful planning before booking my first lesson. ____50____, there was always that annoying voice reminding me that I “should” have already done it.
As I continue learning to drive and improving with each lesson, I realise that driving, like many achievements, doesn’t come with a rigid ____51____. It’s just a milestone reached when it’s most ____52____. Feelings of incompetence arise from ____53____ between peers when you haven’t done something society considers ____54____ by a certain point in life. But life is complicated. Learning something new should never be ____55____ as being too late.

Lately, all of us have seen Chinese people on TV in far-off places in the world, helping other countries to develop. Some people may ask, “Is it ____56____ (true) worth it? Why help overseas when China has areas still in need of development? ”
I had the same questions myself. But for me, it was much more personal. My mother, a medical doctor, ____57____ (assign) to work as a volunteer consultant in Tanzania. Honestly, when she first left, I was upset. We talked together, we spent our leisure time together, ____58____ except for school and work, we were never apart.

When I think of _____65_____ we as Chinese citizens can be most proud of, helping others comes at the top of this list.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Colt, a 26-year-old electrician on vacation in central Arizona, set out to hike a remote trail in the Superstition Mountains by himself. He parked his car by the trailhead near Canyon Lake and started hiking. Accustomed to hiking the shaded, cooler trails near his home, Colt was undone by the intense heat of Arizona’s exposed sun. After five hours, he found himself lost and out of water. Lightheaded, he texted his wife, “I need help. ”
But his text didn’t go through; his phone had no service. Colt ate his soft fruit candies bite by bite, fearing they would be his last meal. He thought of his wife and their daughter, hoping that he would get to see them again. Desperate, he fired for help from the signal gun he carried to scare off bears — a final call for help.
The sound carried across the rocks to Zeto, a 57-year-old retired firefighter, enjoying his new hobby — hiking mountain trails in Arizona. He knew target practice was banned there, so he thought the pair of shots might be someone shooting at an animal. But when he heard another pair about half an hour later, Zeto’s instincts (本能) , polished over 30 years responding to calls for help, told him the repeated shots must be a signal for help.
On previous hikes, Zeto had come across other hikers in need. There was a man who fell and bloodied his head, a woman who broke her leg. As a result, he’d started carrying extra supplies in case others needed help. He hiked in the direction of the shots, and about 45 minutes later, climbing over a hill, he came across Colt, lying on his side. He could tell that Colt was confused, lost and in rough shape.
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。
Zeto knew he must take action quickly.

M: $2,400 a month. And there is a one-month rent as a security deposit. Of course, you can get it back if the apartment is still in good condition when you move out.
W: That’s a lot more than I was planning on paying. I was hoping to find a place that was $1,500 or $1,600. I really like the apartment though it's not so large. Anyway, it’s very convenient for my son to get to school from here. Would you be able to lower the rent a bit?

“Everything you see tonight will be made up on the spot: every scene, every line, and every character will be for tonight and tonight only,” the groups announced to their excited audience. Nine times a term, McDonnell Hall 162 is transformed from a lecture hall into a stage. The room is packed with students filling every seat and staircase to watch their fellow students create characters and stories, bits and scenes, all in front of their very eyes. They come to see IMPROV.
K. A. R. L. is one of the University’s three IMPROV groups, along with MPR and Suspicious of Whistlers. When asked about why and how he got involved with K. A. R. L., Max Church reflected on a memory of a K. A. R. L. show he watched upon visiting his sister at Washington University before he was a student. “I wasn’t into theater in high school, but once I saw people just go on stage and just have fun with their friends, I knew it was something I wanted to be part of.”
Max auditioned (面试) for the IMPROV group in his freshman year. One warm-up activity in particular, where auditionees are placed in groups of three and then have the opportunity to give a funny remark based on the person before them, caught his attention. “It helps auditionees realize they, as a group, can make a scene out of anything,” he said.
“Having unconditional support from your scene partners is not something that happens in day-to-day life. It only happens in this space, where you’re told to stop thinking about yourself. The focus is the scene, not you,” Max describes a trip to Chicago that the three groups attended, which was a great opportunity to watch different IMPROV as well as create a bond with the groups and the IMPROV community.
24. What is IMPROV according to the text?
A. An award ceremony. B. An academic lecture.
C. A live performance. D. A campus movie.
25. Which word best describes Max’s joining K. A. R. L.?
A. Challenging. B. Eventful. C. Lengthy. D. Accidental.
26. What impressed Max most during the audition?
A. The large number of auditionees. B. The instant comments session.
C. Auditionees’ attempt to break rules. D. Professional help from others.
27. What did the three groups gain from the Chicago trip?
A. They secured financial support. B. They built stronger ties.
C. They focused on inner thoughts. D. They won great reputation.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. B
【解析】

China on Monday successfully launched the Tianzhou-10 cargo spacecraft (货运飞船) from the Wenchang Space Launch Site, carrying not only supplies for the Chinese space station, but also a pioneering study on the development of “artificial embryos (胚胎)” in space. The mission marks the world’s first attempt to investigate how embryo-like structures develop under real microgravity and universal radiation conditions.
Tianzhou-10 carried 67 scientific items weighing more than 768 kilograms to support 41 space science experiments. These projects include life sciences, biotechnology, microgravity physics, astronomy, and Earth science. Among them, the embryo experiment has drawn particular attention.
Yu Leqian, the artificial embryo project’s manager, explained that real human embryos are extremely difficult to obtain for large-scale scientific research. Artificial embryos are structures constructed from stem cells that closely look like real embryos. They are not true embryos and cannot develop into an individual human being, but they help study early human embryonic development.
According to Yu, the embryo models used in the experiment correspond roughly to a crucial stage of human development between days 14 and 21 after fertilization (受精). It is an extremely important developmental window. Within just a few days, the early forms of all organs begin to develop. Many early development-related diseases, such as deformities and born heart disease, are closely associated with this period. The goal of the research is to understand how gravity shapes life itself and what effects space conditions may have on this critical process.
During the mission, the artificial embryos will develop for five days aboard the station under the monitoring of Chinese astronauts. Automated systems will replace nutrient solutions daily. Samples will be frozen in orbit and later returned to Earth for detailed laboratory analysis.
“This is our first attempt to answer whether humans can survive and reproduce in space. I hope the answer will be yes,” Yu said.
28. Why has the artificial embryo project attracted particular attention?
A. It covers five major research fields. B. It helps explore the origin of embryos.
C. It aims to cure humans of genetic diseases. D. It is the first artificial embryo research in space.
29. What do we know about artificial embryos from Yu Leqian?
A. They are made from human embryos. B. They are widely used in space research.
C. They are an alternative to real embryos. D. They are able to grow into human beings.
30. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. Gravity can be ignored in the embryo experiment.
B. Space conditions may affect early organs’ forming.
C. Artificial embryos will be put into mass production.
D. Artificial embryos may be free from human diseases.
31. What is Yu’s attitude to artificial embryos research in space?
A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Unconcerned. D. Worried.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍的是中国天舟十号货运飞船成功发射,并首次在太空开展人工胚胎发育研究的相关情况。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The mission marks the world’s first attempt to investigate how embryo-like structures develop under real microgravity and universal radiation conditions. (这次任务标志着世界首次尝试研究胚胎样结构在真实微重力和宇宙辐射条件下如何发育。)”可知,人工胚胎项目之所以引起特别关注,是因为它是首次在太空中进行的人工胚胎研究。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Artificial embryos are structures constructed from stem cells that closely look like real embryos. They are not true embryos and cannot develop into an individual human being, but they help study early human embryonic development. (人工胚胎是由干细胞构建的结构,外观与真实胚胎非常相似。它们不是真正的胚胎,不能发育成个体人类,但有助于研究早期人类胚胎发育。)”可知,人工胚胎是真实胚胎的替代品。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“According to Yu, the embryo models used in the experiment correspond roughly to a crucial stage of human development between days 14 and 21 after fertilization (受精). It is an extremely important developmental window. Within just a few days, the early forms of all organs begin to develop. Many early development-related diseases, such as deformities and born heart disease, are closely associated with this period. The goal of the research is to understand how gravity shapes life itself and what effects space conditions may have on this critical process. (据于介绍,实验中使用的胚胎模型大致对应于人类受精后第14天至第21天之间的一个关键发育阶段。这是一个极其重要的发育窗口。在短短几天内,所有器官的早期形态开始发育。许多与早期发育相关的疾病,如畸形和先天性心脏病,都与这一时期密切相关。该研究的目标是了解重力如何塑造生命本身,以及太空条件可能对这个关键过程产生什么影响。)”可知,太空条件可能影响早期器官的形成。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘This is our first attempt to answer whether humans can survive and reproduce in space. I hope the answer will be yes,’ Yu said. (‘这是我们首次尝试回答人类能否在太空中生存和繁殖的问题。我希望答案是肯定的,’于说。)”可知,于乐谦对太空人工胚胎研究持积极态度。

The Great Salt Lake is a ticking environmental bomb. It has lost 73% of its volume and is likely to collapse within the next 5 years, releasing dust loaded with poisonous amounts of mercury (汞), arsenic (砷), and selenium (硒) downwind, where 2.5 million people live. Ellis’ new documentary, The Lake, which won a Special Jury Award, follows three individuals — two scientists and a state official — who see the upcoming disaster and are fighting to save the lake.
The Great Salt Lake is North America’s largest terminal lake — a lake into which water flows but none leaves, except through evaporation (蒸发). The lake and its wetlands provide food and habitat for 10 million migratory birds and wildlife, support the local economy, and protect local air and water quality and weather. However, like all terminal lakes, it is highly sensitive to climate change and water shifts. Human water usage — 74% by local farmers — is the main water loss on The Great Salt Lake.
Microbiologist Baxter, her colleague Abbott, and state official Steed develop a joint strategic plan for saving the lake. The film follows the daily painstaking work of these three supporters as they talk with local community members.
A surprising and reflective theme of the film is the crossing of environmental concerns and faith. Nearly 50% of the Salt Lake City community are members of the Church of Jesus Christ. They believe that “God is in charge. When he is ready to fill the lake, it will be filled.” For them, faith is motivating.
While Baxter and Abbott both work tirelessly to save the lake, they struggle to balance their work as scientists and public supporters. For them, “Science is the most powerful tool to identify reliable truth about what is going on in the earth’s system, but science can’t determine what we do with that truth.”
The Lake is a quietly fascinating film that will hopefully inspire the Salt Lake community and the governor to find a way to get water quickly into the lake to save it from collapse. This film provides hope that scientists can work with communities to provide solutions.
32. What is the direct environmental danger if the Great Salt Lake collapses?
A. Wetlands disappearing in the local areas.
B. Extreme weather affecting nearby cities.
C. The improvement of local air and water quality.
D. The release of dust with poisonous heavy metals.
33. What affects local people’s attitude toward the lake crisis most?
A. Their religious beliefs. B. Their daily habits.
C. Their job backgrounds. D. Their economic needs.
34. What do Baxter and Abbott think of science?
A. It can help balance their work and faith.
B. It lacks the power to recognize reliable truth.
C. It can stop disasters from happening on the earth.
D. It is insufficient to guide human actions in the crisis.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A documentary: a tool to predict the disaster
B. The upcoming collapse of the Great Salt Lake
C. The Great Salt Lake: A Unique Natural Attraction
D. The effect of climate change on the Great Salt Lake
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. B
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第四段“Nearly 50% of the Salt Lake City community are members of the Church of Jesus Christ. They believe that ‘God is in charge. When he is ready to fill the lake, it will be filled.’ For them, faith is motivating. (盐湖城社区近50%的成员是耶稣基督后期圣徒教会的信徒。他们相信‘上帝在掌管一切,当他准备填满湖泊时,湖泊就会被填满。’对他们来说,信仰是一种动力。)”可知,当地人的宗教信仰最影响他们对湖泊危机的态度。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“For them, ‘Science is the most powerful tool to identify reliable truth about what is going on in the earth’s system, but science can’t determine what we do with that truth.’ (对他们来说,‘科学是识别地球系统中正在发生的事情的可靠真相的最强大工具,但科学无法决定我们如何处理那个真相。’)”可知,巴克斯特和艾伯特认为科学不足以指导人类在危机中的行动。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The Great Salt Lake is a ticking environmental bomb. (大盐湖是一颗 随时会引爆的 的环境炸弹。)”以及全文围绕大盐湖即将崩溃的危机展开论述可知,文章主要讲述的是大盐湖即将到来的崩溃。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to boost your memory
There are only two certainties in life: death and forgetting. ____36____ But with the following strategies — and a bit of effort — you can tackle some of life’s trickiest memory challenges.
Use meaning
We can be terrible at remembering new information such as names, and yet effortlessly bring to mind personally meaningful information. If you’re a football fan, you might find you naturally remember facts about your team’s newly signed player but struggle to recall the name of a new colleague. ____37____ Try to associate names with distinctive features, such as “double-chin Dave”.
Use your imagination
There is massive overlap (重叠) between the brain’s circuitry (神经回路) for memory and imagination. Perhaps you are at work and realize that today is your wedding anniversary, and want to remember to buy a gift for your partner on your way home. Imagine your future self riding the train, passing a lavender (薰衣草) farm. ____38____ The act of imagining this series of events will plant a vivid memory in your brain, and later, when you are actually on your way home, that memory will come back to life, reminding you to run out to the store.
Make mistakes
When learning a word in a foreign language, people will focus on the right answer — for instance, by reading the word and its meaning aloud. ____39____ Most of the time your guess will be wrong, but those wrong guesses can be the best way to make the right answer stick.
____40____ It is likely that you will remember only a small part of your life experiences. Ask, “What do I want to remember?” Answer that question and the rest will be easy.
A. So take a deep breath and trust the process.
B. Those purple flowers remind you to get some flowers.
C. To conclude, it’s important to remember with intention.
D. Why not memorize the words after knowing their meanings?
E. What if you tried to guess the meaning before you learn the right answer?
F. With more meanings and fun facts, you can remember names more easily.
G. Forgetfulness can leave us feeling embarrassed, frustrated, even frightened.
【答案】36. G 37. F 38. B 39. E 40. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了运用赋予意义、发挥想象及试错等策略来有效提升记忆力的科学方法。
【36题详解】
由上文“There are only two certainties in life: death and forgetting.(人生只有两件事是确定的:死亡和遗忘。)”及下文“But with the following strategies — and a bit of effort — you can tackle some of life’s trickiest memory challenges.(但借助以下策略,再加上一点努力,你就能应对生活中一些最棘手的记忆挑战。)”可知,上文指出遗忘是人生的必然,下文转而介绍应对遗忘的策略,本空应承接上文,进一步描述遗忘带来的负面感受,引出下文的解决方法。G选项“健忘会让我们感到尴尬、沮丧,甚至恐惧。”能承上启下,符合语境。
【37题详解】
由上文“If you’re a football fan, you might find you naturally remember facts about your team’s newly signed player but struggle to recall the name of a new colleague.(如果你是个足球迷,你可能会发现自己自然而然地记住了球队新签约球员的信息,却很难想起新同事的名字。)”及下文“Try to associate names with distinctive features, such as ‘double-chin Dave’.(试着把名字和显著特征联系起来,比如“双下巴戴夫”。)”可知,上文举例说明人们对有意义的信息记得更牢,下文给出了具体的记忆方法,本空应总结说明通过增加意义和趣味性能更容易记住名字。F选项“有了更多的意义和趣闻,你就能更轻松地记住名字。”能承上启下,符合语境。
【38题详解】
由上文“Imagine your future self riding the train, passing a lavender (薰衣草) farm.(想象未来的自己正坐着火车,经过一片薰衣草农场。)”及下文“The act of imagining this series of events will plant a vivid memory in your brain, and later, when you are actually on your way home, that memory will come back to life, reminding you to run out to the store.(想象这一系列场景的行为会在你的脑海中植入一段清晰的记忆,之后当你真正在回家路上时,这段记忆就会被唤醒,提醒你去商店买礼物。)”可知,上文描述了想象的场景,下文说明这种想象的效果,本空应具体描述想象场景中的细节如何起到提醒作用。B选项“那些紫色的花朵会提醒你去买些花。”承接上文的薰衣草意象,并引出下文关于记忆唤醒的内容,符合语境。
【39题详解】
由上文“When learning a word in a foreign language, people will focus on the right answer — for instance, by reading the word and its meaning aloud.(在学习外语单词时,人们往往会专注于正确答案——比如大声朗读单词及其含义。)”及下文“Most of the time your guess will be wrong, but those wrong guesses can be the best way to make the right answer stick.(大多数时候你的猜测都是错的,但这些错误的猜测反而是让你记住正确答案的最佳途径。)”可知,上文讲传统的学习方法,下文转而强调“错误猜测”的好处,本空应提出一种与传统方法不同的、先猜测后学习的策略。E选项“如果在学习正确答案之前,你先试着猜猜它的意思会怎样?”能承上启下,符合语境。
【40题详解】
由下文“It is likely that you will remember only a small part of your life experiences. Ask, ‘What do I want to remember?’ Answer that question and the rest will be easy.(你可能只会记住自己生活中的一小部分经历。问问自己:“我想记住什么?”回答了这个问题,剩下的就容易了。)”可知,下文强调要有选择、有目的地去记忆,本空应为本段的主旨句,概括“有意记忆”的重要性。C选项“总之,带着意图去记忆是很重要的。”概括了本段主旨,符合语境。

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述作者在20多岁时开始学习开车,然后意识到学习新事物永远都不晚。
【41题详解】
考查动词。句意:我已经说要做这件事五年了,可就是从没开始。A. believe相信;B. start开始;C. stop停止;D. forget忘记。根据上文“I’ve said I would do it for five years now”和表示转折意义的“yet”可知,实际行动和想法不一致,即从未开始做这件事。
【42题详解】
考查动词。句意:开车似乎只是青少年才做的事,而不是二十多岁才开始,我甚至说服自己,自己好像错过了这个时机。A. seized 抓住;B. opened打开;C. missed错过;D. found发现。根据上文“Driving felt like a teenager’s thing, not something you began in your twenties”可知,作者认为学习开车是青少年做的事,自己二十多岁已经错过了时机。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:上周我终于坐进驾驶座时,我的教练问我以前有没有开过车。A. instructor教练,指导员;B. boss老板;C. classmate同学;D. passenger乘客。根据上文“get my driver’s license”和“When I finally sat in the driver’s seat last week”可知,作者学习开车,应是教练询问作者问题。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我承认这是第一次。说出来感觉很尴尬,就像承认自己不会骑自行车一样。A. amusing有趣的,好玩的;B. exciting令人激动的;C. annoying烦人的;D. embarrassing令人尴尬的。根据下文“like admitting I couldn’t ride a bike”和语境可知,作者说自己是第一次开车,就像承认不会骑自行车一样,这种感受是难为情的。
【45题详解】
考查动词。句意:我想象着人们在评判我,疑惑我为什么没有早点这么做。A. persuading说服;B. judging评价;C. complaining抱怨;D. reminding提醒。根据下文“wondering why I hadn’t done this sooner”可知,作者想象别人会对自己二十多岁才学开车这件事有看法,觉得别人会评价自己。
【46题详解】
考查动词短语。句意:最初只是对无法开车的焦虑,逐渐演变成了对其他一切事物的担忧,比如还没搬离父母家,也未曾去过无数个国家。A. took over接管;B. broke down发生故障,分解;C. evolved into演变成,发展成;D. differed from与……不同。根据上文“What started as anxiety about not being able to drive”和下文“anxiety about everything else”可知,作者一开始只是焦虑不会开车,后来这种焦虑演变成各种焦虑。
【47题详解】
考查名词。句意:突然间,我所有隐秘的不安情绪又重新浮现了。A. injustices不公平;B. difficulties困难;C. mistakes错误;D. insecurities不安全感。根据上文“not having moved out of my parents’ house yet and not having travelled to countless countries”可知,作者焦虑自己没搬出家,没去过很多国家旅行,这些都是内心不安全感的体现。
【48题详解】
考查形容词。句意:当然,实际的原因也让我学习有所延迟。A. practical实际的;B. strange奇怪的;C. simple简单的;D. formal正式的。下文“Living in a city with convenient public transport, the cost of lessons, and the expense of owning a car”提到的“公共交通便利、学车成本和养车费用”都是实际存在的、现实的原因。
【49题详解】
考查动词。句意:住在城市里,公共交通便利,上课费用高昂,再加上买车的开销,因此在预约第一节课之前都必须仔细规划。A. followed遵循;B. avoided避免;C. required需要,要求;D. provided提供。根据下文“careful planning before booking my first lesson”可知,公共交通、学车和养车成本这些因素,意味着在报名学车前需要自己规划。
【50题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,总有一个烦人的声音提醒我,我“本该”早就完成了。A. Otherwise否则;B. Still但是,尽管如此;C. Instead相反; D. Therefore因此。上文说有现实原因推迟学车,下文说还是有声音提醒自己“本该早就学车了”,前后是转折关系。
【51题详解】
考查名词。句意:随着我继续学习驾驶,并在每节课中不断进步,我意识到驾驶就像许多成就一样,并没有固定的时间表。A. timeline时间线;B. approach方法;C. system系统;D. structure结构。根据上文“Driving felt like a teenager’s thing, not something you began in your twenties”可知,一开始作者认为学车是青少年做的事,现在意识到开车和很多成就一样,并没有固定的时间限制。
【52题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这只是一个在最方便的时候达成的里程碑。A. urgent紧急的;B. valuable有价值的;C. helpless无助的;D. convenient方便的。根据上文“It’s just a milestone”以及上文提到作者因为现实原因推迟学车可知,这里强调时机的便利性,作者认为里程碑应该在最方便的时候达成。
【53题详解】
考查名词。句意:当一个人在人生某个阶段尚未完成社会认为必要的事情时,与同龄人进行比较,就会产生无能感。A. impressions印象;B. conflicts冲突;C. comparisons比较;D. relationships关系。根据下文“between peers when you haven’t done something”可知,作者认为无能感来自和同龄人比较。
【54题详解】
考查形容词。句意:同上。A. typical典型的;B. necessary必要的;C. fashionable时尚的;D. positive积极的。根据上文“Driving felt like a teenager’s thing”和语境可知,社会认为在人生某个阶段应该做的事,比如青少年时期学开车,这些事是被社会认为是必要的。
【55题详解】
考查动词。句意:学习新事物永远不应被视作太迟。A. framed表达,表述;B. accumulated积累;C. created创造;D. researched研究。结合上文内容,对比大对数人青少年时期学车,作者二十几岁才开始学车,由此感悟到学习新事物永远不应该被说成太晚,be framed as“被界定为”。
第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读短文内容,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Lately, all of us have seen Chinese people on TV in far-off places in the world, helping other countries to develop. Some people may ask, “Is it ____56____ (true) worth it? Why help overseas when China has areas still in need of development? ”
I had the same questions myself. But for me, it was much more personal. My mother, a medical doctor, ____57____ (assign) to work as a volunteer consultant in Tanzania. Honestly, when she first left, I was upset. We talked together, we spent our leisure time together, ____58____ except for school and work, we were never apart. So I was unhappy about her leaving ____59____ asking for my input.
But then I began to sing a different tune after learning about her work in Tanzania, ____60____ country where people are likely ____61____ (contract) many diseases, rare in China. One project that my mother worked on was helping build a cardiac hospital. My mother also does a circuit of the rural villages to provide medical treatment and offer professional ____62____ (consult) and training to local doctors.
Today, I want to relay that I am fully ____63____ (support) of my mother’s work. We, as global citizens interested in world stability, should commit ourselves to building a community with a ____64____ (share) future for mankind. When I think of _____65_____ we as Chinese citizens can be most proud of, helping others comes at the top of this list.
【答案】56. truly
57. was assigned
58. and 59. without
60. a 61. to contract
62. consultation
63. supportive
64. shared 65. what
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了有人质疑中国对外援助,作者起初因母亲赴坦桑尼亚行医不解,了解其医疗帮扶工作后十分支持,并认为助人是国人最值得骄傲的事。
【56题详解】
考查副词。句意:有些人可能会问:“这真的值得吗?”空格处修饰形容词 worth,需用副词形式;true的副词为truly,表示“真正地、确实”。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:我的母亲是一名医生,被派往坦桑尼亚担任志愿顾问。主语 my mother与 assign(委派)是被动关系,且事件发生在过去,需用一般过去时的被动语态;主语为单数,所以为was assigned的填入。
【58题详解】
考查连词。句意:我们一起聊天,闲暇时间也一起度过,除了上学和工作,我们从未分开过。空格前后是三个并列的分句,描述母女过去相伴的日常,表顺承并列关系,用并列连词and。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意:因此,当她没有征求我的意见就离开时,我感到很不开心。结合语境 “她没征求我的意见就离开,我很不高兴”,空格后是动名词asking,所以为介词 without的填入,表示“没有、未经”,符合语境。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意:但后来,当我了解到她在坦桑尼亚的工作后,我就转变了态度,那是一个人们容易患上在中国罕见疾病的国家。此处是 Tanzania的同位语,泛指“一个疾病高发的国家”,country以辅音音素开头,所以为不定冠词a的填入。
【61题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:但后来,当我了解到她在坦桑尼亚的工作后,心情开始改变,那是一个人们容易患上在中国罕见疾病的国家。此处为固定搭配be likely to do sth. 意为 “有可能做某事”,所以为不定式to contract的填入。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:此外,她还走访农村村庄,为当地居民提供医疗服务,并为当地医生提供专业咨询和培训。空格与training并列,作offer的宾语,需用名词形式;consult的名词为consultation,表示“咨询”。
【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意:今天,我想表达的是,我完全支持母亲的这份工作。此处为固定搭配 be supportive of 意为“支持……”,空格处作表语,需用形容词supportive。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意:作为关心世界稳定的世界公民,我们应该致力于构建人类命运共同体。空格修饰名词future,需用形容词;shared 表示“共享的、共同的”,a shared future for mankind 是固定表达“人类命运共同体”。
【65题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:当我思考中国公民最值得自豪的事情时,帮助他人位居榜首。分析句子可知,空格引导宾语从句,作think of 的宾语;从句中 be proud of 后缺少宾语,指代“最引以为傲的事”,故用连接代词what。

【答案】One possible version:
A Reflection on Life’s Path
In the picture, a man stands before two distinct roads. One path is straight but blocked by piles of stones. The other lies smooth yet with many twists and turns. These two paths stand for different choices we encounter in life.
The experience of J. K. Rowling perfectly illustrates this picture. She once longed to get her novel published at once, only to receive numerous rejection letters — much like the rocky straight road. Instead of giving up, she committed herself to the winding path with no visible success, polishing her writing tirelessly. Eventually Harry Potter won worldwide fame.
Seldom does life offer us a trouble-free path. As long as we students confront setbacks fearlessly, we are bound to live a fulfilling life.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Colt, a 26-year-old electrician on vacation in central Arizona, set out to hike a remote trail in the Superstition Mountains by himself. He parked his car by the trailhead near Canyon Lake and started hiking. Accustomed to hiking the shaded, cooler trails near his home, Colt was undone by the intense heat of Arizona’s exposed sun. After five hours, he found himself lost and out of water. Lightheaded, he texted his wife, “I need help. ”
But his text didn’t go through; his phone had no service. Colt ate his soft fruit candies bite by bite, fearing they would be his last meal. He thought of his wife and their daughter, hoping that he would get to see them again. Desperate, he fired for help from the signal gun he carried to scare off bears — a final call for help.
The sound carried across the rocks to Zeto, a 57-year-old retired firefighter, enjoying his new hobby — hiking mountain trails in Arizona. He knew target practice was banned there, so he thought the pair of shots might be someone shooting at an animal. But when he heard another pair about half an hour later, Zeto’s instincts (本能) , polished over 30 years responding to calls for help, told him the repeated shots must be a signal for help.
On previous hikes, Zeto had come across other hikers in need. There was a man who fell and bloodied his head, a woman who broke her leg. As a result, he’d started carrying extra supplies in case others needed help. He hiked in the direction of the shots, and about 45 minutes later, climbing over a hill, he came across Colt, lying on his side. He could tell that Colt was confused, lost and in rough shape.
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。
Zeto knew he must take action quickly.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After almost three tiring hours, they finally made it to Colt’s car.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Zeto knew he must take action quickly. Zeto gave Colt some water and food he’d packed along. In his confused state, Colt mumbled something between ragged breaths, “car...parked...by the lake” , which gave Zeto a fixed destination to aim for: Canyon Lake. Colt was dizzy but could put one foot ahead of the other. Zeto knew the situation was urgent and wanted to take advantage of what strength the younger man had while it lasted. They got moving. But still, Colt grew weaker and weaker. Soon, Zeto had to support Colt so he wouldn’t fall. It made for slow going. They took several short breaks in the shade of the rocks. Zeto was tired from the effort but remained standing. Exhausted as he was, Zeto was determined to get them both to safety.
After almost three tiring hours, they finally made it to Colt’s car. As Colt slipped in and out of consciousness, Zeto found his car keys, pushed him inside and drove to the closest town. Zeto then helped Colt out of the car and into an air-conditioned convenience shop. They sat down and poured some sports drinks down their throats. After a spell, Colt began to feel more like himself: His voice was more distinct, his words no longer nonsense. Eventually, the two drove back to the trailhead where their cars were parked. Zeto assured Colt was well enough to drive back to his family. Then they parted ways in their respective cars. Zeto checked in periodically by phone to make sure Colt arrived safely. It wasn’t the last time the two men spoke. They’ve stayed in touch ever since and became friends.
