Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Blue zones Everyone wants to live a long, healthy life, and so it’s no surprise that researchers are looking into ways to make that happen. One approach is to study areas in which people have longer-than-average lives known as blue zones and see 1 these communities do to promote long life. Dan Buettner’s book The Blue Zones introduced the concept of blue zones — five regions spread out across three continents 2 people live unusually long and healthy lives. In one early phase of their research, researchers identified these places and marked 3 on a map with blue circles, which inspired the term blue zones. After identifying the blue zones, Buettner investigated their cultures, 4 (seek) insight into why their people are so healthy and long-lived. His team identified nine common lifestyle practices known as the “Power 9,” which create supportive environments that improve physical, mental and emotional health. 5 the details varied, a common feature in the diets of people in blue zones is that they follow primarily plant-based diets. Those who eat meat typically only do so four or five times a month. They also typically either fast regularly or limit the amount they eat. Additionally, they drink wine 6 moderation. Exercise is necessary for good health, but people in blue zones generally do not set aside time for exercise 7 (plan) specifically for fitness, such as going to the gym. Instead, activity 8 (build) into daily life as they walk from place to place and do housework such as gardening and cleaning. Many families in blue zones live in homes where multiple generations reside together. This arrangement provides emotional and practical support for both the old and the young. And these communities are organized in a way that enables people 9 (find) social support beyond their biological family. In these tight-knit communities, the residents often look out for each other, which in turn 10 (strengthen) the social bonds that are essential for a long and healthy life. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．accounts    B．credibility    C． declaring    D．filtered    E. pays F. particularly    G. enduring    H. principle    I. ignoring    J. reputation    K. revolutionized The serious business of being a social influencer    This week China promised a tax-evasion punishment on social-media influencers, who are paid by brands to promote products online to their followers. Viya, known as the live-streaming queen, has already been fined $210m for not 11 her income. The size of that levy (征收税) shows the large scale of the industry, which 12 for 12% of online sales in China. Outside China, influencers are also likely to have a(n) 13 role in e-commerce. For all firms with brands, it is time to realize that influencing is more than just a hobby. The use of personal endorsements (宣传，代言) used to be about taking advantage of existing celebrity power. For example, Michael Jordan’s deal in 1984 with Nike 14 both basketball and branding. Influencers turn the logic on its head: selling things helps make them more famous. Through clipped videos and 15 photos they offer recommendations to consumers, together with glimpses into their daily lives to increase the 16 . Total spending on influencers by brands could reach $16bn this year. The number of wannabe influencers outside China is in the millions. However, only under 100,000 of them get most profit. Their staying power suggests that they add value in several ways. Influencers’ networks reach new audiences, 17 younger shoppers. And influencers are technologically proficient in a way that old-style brand ambassadors never were. They can quickly adapt to and utilize newer platforms like TikTok. Yet one-third of brands do not use influencers. They worry about their 18 . Despite the risk, 19 influencers is a mistake. Their share of digital advertising budgets is still low at 3%, but it is rising fast. The borderline between entertainment and e-commerce is becoming unclear. The most popular marketing strategy of the 2010s-ads targeted through Google and Facebook-is under threat as new privacy standards make it harder to spy on potential customers. To make full use of influencers, brands should set a clear strategy. They should expect more regulation on consumer protection. The guiding 20 should be to use only influencers who disclose to their audiences that their posts are paid. II. Reading Comprehension (21 – 35题，每题1分；36 – 50题，每题2分；共45分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. A heart attack occurs when blood flow to part of the heart is blocked, starving it of oxygen and leading to the death of muscle tissue. For decades, medical experts in the study of the heart have had to acknowledge that a damaged heart remains 21 damaged. Once a heart attack kills off muscle cells, they are gone for good, replaced by fibrous tissue that 22 the organ and frequently results in heart failure. That, 23 , may be about to change, thanks to a team of scientists who have found a way of helping the heart to get better itself. By reawakening an inactive gene (基因) known as CCNA2, researchers at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York made adult human heart cells divide and multiply in a laboratory — something long thought 24 , The results, published in the Nature Regenerative Medicine journal, suggest it may one day be possible to regrow heart tissue after injury, 25 the need for transplants or implanted devices. To understand how this works, it’s essential to examine the 26 of the CCNA2 gene. In the woman’s womb (子宫), CCNA2 drives the growth of the developing heart — but the gene 27 soon after birth. A director of heart-related regenerative medicine at Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine, has spent nearly 20 years trying to 28 that process. In 2014, her team became the first to regenerate a large animal’s heart by reactivating CCNA2. They used pigs, the hearts of which closely look like those of humans, but now her group has produced evidence indicating that the same 29 could work in adult human heart cells. After delivering a(n) 30 version of CCNA2 into heart muscle cells taken from donor organs aged 21, 41 and 55, they watched the gene take effect using microscopes. After the gene treatment, the most 31 results involved mature cells growing again in the two older hearts. These cells began to divide in two, and they maintained the structure and proteins that gave heart muscle its strength. However, when heart cells divide in a lab, they would occasionally 32 their shape or rhythm, which would make the cells useless or dangerous. 33 , therefore, involves seeking approval from the U. S. Food and Drug Administration to start to test the gene treatment in heart patients. “This is the 34 of nearly two decades of continuous research,” Chaudhry emphasized. “Now we’ve brought this breakthrough one step 35 to patients.” 21．A．considerably B．frequently C．gradually D．permanently 22．A．awakens B．surrounds C．weakens D．abuses 23．A．therefore B．however C．moreover D．meanwhile 24．A．unachievable B．uncomfortable C．inconsistent D．inevitable 25．A．supporting B．indicating C．creating D．reducing 26．A．domain B．source C．role D．code 27．A．breaks down B．bursts out C．speeds up D．switches off 28．A．reverse B．undergo C．stimulate D．simplify 29．A．approach B．medicine C．function D．product 30．A．original B．active C．stable D．temporary 31．A．conflicting B．striking C．misleading D．distressing 32．A．clone B．waste C．lose D．select 33．A．A possible exception B．A new test C．The next step D．The future setback 34．A．basis B．assumption C．beginning D．peak 35．A．narrower B．closer C．maturer D．slower Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A In winter, Harnmerfest is a thirty-hour ride by bus from Oslo, though why anyone would want to go there in winter is a question worth considering. It is on the edge of the world, the northernmost town in Europe, as far from London as London is from Tunis, a place of dark and fierce winters, where the sun sinks into the Arctic Ocean in November and does not rise again for ten weeks. I wanted to see the Northern Lights. But now as I picked my way through Osto in late December, I was beginning to have my doubts. Things had not started well. I had overslept at the hotel, missing breakfast, and had to leap into my clothes. I couldn’t find a taxi and had to drag my overweight bag eight blocks to the central bus station. I had had huge difficulty persuading the staff at the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate to cash sufficient traveler’s cheques to pay the 1,200-kroner bus fare — they simply could not be made to grasp that the William McGuire Bryson on my passport and the Bill Brvson on my traveler’s cheques were both me — and now here I was arriving at the station two minutes before departure, and the girl at the ticket counter was telling me that she had no record of my reservation. “This isn’t happening,” I said. “I’m still at home in England enjoying Christmas.” Actually, I said, “There must be some mistake. Please look again.” The girl studied the passenger list. “No, Mr. Bryson, your name is not here.” But I could see it, even upside-down. “There it is, second from the bottom.” “No,” the girl decided, “that says Bernt Bjornson. That’s a Norwegian name.” “It doesn’t say Bernt Bjornson. It says Bill Bryson. Look at they, the two l’s. Miss, please,” But she wouldn’t have it. “If I miss this bus, when does the next one go?” “Next week at the same time.” Oh, splendid. “Miss, believe me, it says Bill Bryson.” “No, it doesn’t.” “Miss, look, I’ve come from England. I’m carrying some medicine that could save a child’s life.” She didn’t buy this. “I want to see the manager.” “He’s in Stavanger.” “Listen, I made a reservation by telephone. If I don’t get on this bus, I’m going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects for the rest of this century.” This clearly did not alarm her. Then it occurred to me. “If this Bernt Bjornson doesn’t show up, can I have this seat?” “Sure.” Why don’t I think of these things in the first place? “Thank you,” I said. 36．What can be learned from the passage about Hammerfest? A．It is located in the South of the city of Oslo. B．It is where the Northern Lights can be seen. C．It is known as a town without sufficient power supply. D．It remains in the darkness from November till next March. 37．The writer got to the station just two minutes before the train departed because he spent much time ________. A．cashing his traveler’s cheques B．packing everything into his luggage C．waiting for a taxi to send him there D．choosing suitable clothes to wear 38．By “Oh, splendid”, the writer meant that he actually felt ________. A．puzzled B．amazed C．worried D．relieved 39．Why did the writer say he was carrying some medicine and he would write to the manager? A．To tell the girl what he really wanted to do. B．To show the girl how angry he was with her. C．To warn the girl of the potential consequences. D．To persuade the girl to allow him onto the bus. The Shimmering State by Meredith Westgate. Atria Books, 2021 ($27) Memoroxin, a personalized pill that replaces memories in people with Alzheimer’s, is being abused as a recreational drug. Disconnected from reality, Lucien and Sophie meet at a “Mem” health recovery center in Los Angeles, where personal psychological traumas, along with foreign memories, can be removed. They feel drawn to each other; have they met before? Like the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , The Shimmering State explores whether the joys and pains of love can ever be fully erased. Through interconnected relationships, the novel delves into some of the moral dilemmas of a technology that can catalog and edit consciousness. —Jen Schwartz     Dark and Magical Places: The Neuroscience of Navigation by Christopher Kemp. W.W. Norton, 2022 ($26.95) Navigation is one of the most complex cognitive tasks humans engage in daily. In this fascinating dive into the brain, neurobiology researcher Christopher Kemp explores how we orient where we’re going, why we lose our way, and what scientists know about how we do both these things. Kemp’s explanations of concepts such as grid cells are clear and engaging, but the book shines brightest in his entertaining descriptions of his own chronic lostness, as well as in surprisingly moving stories about people who have wandered dangerously off route. Some make it home, but others don’t. —Tess Joosse Secret Worlds: The Extraordinary Senses of Animals by Martin Stevens. Oxford University Press, 2021 ($25.95) Ecologist Martin Stevens catalogs animals’ sensory systems and how they exceed our own while informing and challenging our reality as humans. The book has a narrative and inquisitive style that will show examples of the amazing capabilities they allow, from nocturnal dung beetles that orientate by using the Milky Way to sea turtles that navigate currents by reading the earth’s magnetic fields. Secret Worlds is filled with lessons on how different species evolved to perceive the world. —Jen St.Jude Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy. Flatiron Books, 2021 ($27.99) Australian writer Charlotte McConaghy (author of Migrations ) delivers a thrilling and touching novel about a woman named Inti Flynn and her team of biologists who reintroduce gray wolves into Scotland’s remote Highlands. At first, the wolves seem to thrive, but when a farmer gets hurt, she suspects the man she loves. Her story unfolds as a social and scientific meditation on the consequences of influencing ecosystems, while reminding us that humans and animals alike can break our hearts. —Amy Brady 40．What can we infer from the introduction of The Shimmering State? A．Memoroxin, which cures Alzheimer’s, is a recreational drug. B．Lucien and Sophie feel drawn to each other for foreign memories. C．The book suggests the joys and pains of love should be completely removed. D．Editing consciousness by a technology may bring about some moral problems. 41．It can be learned from the whole passage that__________. A．among the four books, only Dark and Magical Places touches upon the topic of navigation B．the heroine in Once There Were Wolves doesn’t believe the farmer is hurt by wolves C．the highlights of Dark and Magical Places are Kemp’s explanations of some concepts D．McConaghy’s novel merely focuses on the social and scientific impact on the ecosystems 42．If Bob is interested in science and wants to gain more insight into animals’ perception of the world, which of the books should be recommended? A．The Shimmering State B．Dark and Magical Places C．Secret Worlds D．Once There Were Wolves C You’re walking down a quiet street and suddenly you hear some footsteps. Undoubtedly, it means that there’s someone around. But have you ever wondered why it occurs to us that it’s someone else’s footsteps, not ours? According to a new study published in the journal Nature in September, this phenomenon arises from a function in our brain to ignore the noise we make ourselves. In order to explore how our brain does this, a group of scientists carried out an experiment with mice at Duke University. The research entered on an intuition-that we are usually unaware of the sound of our own footsteps-as a vehicle for understanding larger neural phenomena; how this behavior reveals the ability to monitor, recognize, and remember the sound of one’s own movements in relation to those of their larger environments. In the experiment, research controlled the sounds of a group of mice could hear, reported Science Daily. During the first several days, the mice would hear the same sound each time they took a step. This was just like “running on a tiny piano with each key playing exactly the same note”, senior study author Richard Mooney, a professor of neurobiology at Duke University, told Live Science. Scientists found that their auditory cortex (听觉皮层) – the area of the brain that processes sound –became active at first but decreased its response to the sound after two or three minutes when the mice became familiar with it. “ It’s almost like they were wearing special headphones that could filter (过滤) out the sound of their own movements.” David Schneider, an assistant professor at the Center for Neutral Science at New York University, told HuffPost. But once the sound changed, their auditory cortex became active again. This suggests that the “sensory filter” in a mouse’s brain could help it detect new sounds or abnormal noise in the environment easily after tuning out familiar sounds. “For mice, this is really important,” said Schneider. “They are prey animals, so they really need to be able to listen for a cat creeping up on them, even when they’re walking and making noise. Being able to ignore the sounds of one’s own movements is likely important for humans as well. But the ability to predict the sounds of our own actions is also important for more complex human behaviors such as speaking or playing an instrument. “When we learn to speak or to play music, we predict what sounds we are going to hear – such as when we prepare to strike keys on a piano – and we compare this to what we actually hear, “explains Schneider. “We use mismatches between expectation and experience to change how we play – and we get better over time because our brain is trying to minimize these errors.” 43．What can be discovered about mice in the experiment? A．Their brain responds inactively to the familiar sounds B．They are able to detect sounds other animals don’t notice. C．They cannot identify different sounds except their own footsteps. D．Different areas of their brain are responsible for different sounds. 44．What’s the function of the sensory filter? A．Ignoring the sounds made by our companions. B．Getting used to abnormal or unfamiliar sounds. C．Identifying the sounds from a larger environment. D．Being sensitive to the sounds of our own movement. 45．Why can a good symphony conductor immediately recognize it when a wrong note is played? A．He has the ability to match the wrong note with the instrument player. B．He has an intuition that he should ignore the sound of his own movement. C．He has a low expectation and knows where players are likely to make errors. D．He has a good prediction of how each note should be played in the orchestra. 46．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Noise-filtering ability ensures us a quiet and undisturbed environment. B．The ability to ignore familiar noises helps to detect potential dangers. C．The activeness of auditory cortex determines our activity performance. D．Sound-predicting ability seems not so important for humans as for animals. Section C Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. From classrooms to care homes Less than three years ago Ms Jiang was tidying away toys and singing rhymes as a teacher at a nursery in Beijing. She remembers parents knocking on the door in an effort to sign their children up. That gradually became rarer, until last year Ms Jiang found herself distributing promotional leaflets for the nursery in her lunchbreaks. 47 Last May Ms Jiang moved into a sector with better growth prospects: care homes and her abilities to teach handicrafts and play games come in useful. Between 2017 and 2022 China’s total fertility (生育) rate crashed from 1.8 to 1. Between 2021 and 2024 pupil numbers in pre-schools fell from 48m to 36m. Some 42,000 of 295,000 pre-schools have closed, and 360,000 of 3.2m pre-school teachers have quit. 48 Whereas China’s nursery-going group will fall by 14m in the next five years, the number of people aged 65 and over will rise from 211m to 256m. China badly needs more staff to care for them. In 2021 it had just half a million certified care workers. That made for just 0.27 care workers per 100 people aged 65 and above, a shockingly low number. Universities have launched degrees in elderly care. The first batch of students graduated last year, to hot demand. All this motivated one Ms Wu in 2023 to open her own care home in Jiangxi after years in nurseries. She has nine residents paying 2,600 yuan a month to be there. The outlook is bright, she says: right now those in care homes have multiple children on average. Those born in the 1970s and 1980s mostly have only one child, which means fewer people to look after them when they eventually get old. 49 She has also had a few from nursery teachers looking to make the switch she did. The government likes “mixed-use” facilities where both young and old are looked after. 50 It had facilities for table-tennis and space for calligraphy, and when the nursery teachers were free, they taught the elderly. The old certainly enjoy seeing the young; some grandparents even drop off tiny relatives at the nursery before heading to their own floor. A．A newspaper has called for local governments to provide funds for such projects. B．A silver lining exists for those sharp-witted enough to adapt. C．Caring for the elderly is easier than caring for young children. D．Last year in Chongqing, for example, an empty floor of a nursery was turned into an “elderly-care station”. E．Ms Wu gets enquiries almost every day from prospective customers. F．She realised the writing was on the wall. III. Summary Writing (10分) 51．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. What is AI’s Role in Art Creation? As artificial intelligence advances across creative fields, a question emerges: Do people want AI to become an artist or simply a tool for artistic creation? Evidence suggests that while the public is increasingly familiar with AI systems, they would prefer to see AI supporting human creativity rather than replacing it. A key reason lies in the human dimension of art. When people picture their favorite works, say, Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, what they value is not merely technical delivery but the emotional depth tied to human experience. In a recent survey, over 60 percent said they would value their favorite artwork less if told it was AI-produced. Their responses highlight a shared belief: People seek the imaginative struggles and personal histories behind creative works, a quality machines cannot genuinely copy. Concerns about originality and copyright strengthen this resistance. Respondents criticized AI outputs as unoriginal, seeing them as mere reflections of models trained on vast quantities of human-created materials. The possibility of unauthorized data use and unclear artistic ownership fuels distrust. These worries reveal why people hesitate to view AI-generated materials-especially films-as real art: It lacks clear authorship and true creative intention. Yet attitudes shift when AI assists rather than replaces human artists. Forty-two percent of participants regarded users of AI as artists who provided clear creative direction — a sign of openness to human-AI collaboration. This perspective points to a real obstacle in today’s creative world: Many individuals with ideas lack the resources or skills to realize them. In such cases, AI can serve as an enabling tool, lowering costs and expanding access to creative expression. Ultimately, people value art as a human-centered means of connection. While AI can broaden artistic possibilities, it’s best used as a tool that supports and enriches human vision. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.

A．accounts    B．credibility    C． declaring    D．filtered    E. pays F. particularly    G. enduring    H. principle    I. ignoring    J. reputation    K. revolutionized The serious business of being a social influencer    This week China promised a tax-evasion punishment on social-media influencers, who are paid by brands to promote products online to their followers. Viya, known as the live-streaming queen, has already been fined $210m for not 11 her income. The size of that levy (征收税) shows the large scale of the industry, which 12 for 12% of online sales in China. Outside China, influencers are also likely to have a(n) 13 role in e-commerce. For all firms with brands, it is time to realize that influencing is more than just a hobby. The use of personal endorsements (宣传，代言) used to be about taking advantage of existing celebrity power. For example, Michael Jordan’s deal in 1984 with Nike 14 both basketball and branding. Influencers turn the logic on its head: selling things helps make them more famous. Through clipped videos and 15 photos they offer recommendations to consumers, together with glimpses into their daily lives to increase the 16 . Total spending on influencers by brands could reach $16bn this year. The number of wannabe influencers outside China is in the millions. However, only under 100,000 of them get most profit. Their staying power suggests that they add value in several ways. Influencers’ networks reach new audiences, 17 younger shoppers. And influencers are technologically proficient in a way that old-style brand ambassadors never were. They can quickly adapt to and utilize newer platforms like TikTok. Yet one-third of brands do not use influencers. They worry about their 18 . Despite the risk, 19 influencers is a mistake. Their share of digital advertising budgets is still low at 3%, but it is rising fast. The borderline between entertainment and e-commerce is becoming unclear. The most popular marketing strategy of the 2010s-ads targeted through Google and Facebook-is under threat as new privacy standards make it harder to spy on potential customers. To make full use of influencers, brands should set a clear strategy. They should expect more regulation on consumer protection. The guiding 20 should be to use only influencers who disclose to their audiences that their posts are paid. 【答案】 11．C 12．A 13．G 14．K 15．D 16．B 17．F 18．J 19．I 20．H 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了成为一个网红是一件严肃的事情。 【详解】11．考查动词。句意：被称为“直播女王”的Viya已经因未申报收入而被罚款2.1亿美元。由句意和后文提示“her income”可知，此处C选项declaring符合题意，表示“申报”收入，作介词的宾语。故选C。 12．考查动词。句意：这项税收的规模显示出该行业的规模之大，占中国在线销售额的12%。分析句子成分，该空作从句的谓语动词，由后文提示“for 12%”可知A符合题意。account for表示“（数量或比例上）占”，主语the large scale of the industry是单数，谓语也要用单数，即accounts。故选A。 13．考查形容词。句意：在中国以外，网红也可能在电子商务领域发挥持久的作用。该空位于名词role前，所以填形容词作定语。结合句意，G选项enduring符合题意，表示“持久的”。故选G。 14．考查动词。句意：例如，迈克尔·乔丹(Michael Jordan)在1984年与耐克(Nike)签订的协议彻底改变了篮球和品牌。分析句子结构，该空是句子的谓语动词。由句意可知，此处表示该协议“彻底改变”了篮球和品牌，所以K符合题意。该协议是在1984年发生的，所以是一般过去时，即revolutionized。故选K。 15．考查形容词。句意：通过剪辑了的视频和修图后的照片，他们向消费者提供推荐，并对他们的日常生活进行一瞥，以增加可信度。连词and表示前后结构一致，由and前的“clipped videos”可知，此处filtered符合题意。表示“修图后”的照片，作定语。故选D。 16．考查名词。句意：通过剪辑了的视频和修图后的照片，他们向消费者提供推荐，并对他们的日常生活进行一瞥，以增加可信度。空前是定冠词the，所以该空填名词。由句意可知，此处表示增加“可信度”，所以B选项credibility符合题意。故选B。 17．考查副词。句意： 网红的网络可以吸引新的受众，尤其是年轻的购物者。由句意可知空后的“young shoppers”是对空前的“new audiences”的举例说明，所以F选项particularly符合题意，表示“特别，尤其”作状语。故选F。 18．考查名词。句意：他们担心他们的名誉。根据空前提示词“their”可知，该空填名词。结合句意，他们担心的是他们的“名誉”，所以J选项reputation符合题意，作宾语。故选J。 19．考查动词。句意：尽管存在风险，但忽视网红是一个错误。Despite表示前后句意呈转折关系，尽管有风险，但是不能去“忽略”网红这一群体，所以I选项ignoring符合题意，ignoring influencers在句中作主语。故选I。 20．考查名词。句意：指导原则应该是只使用那些向受众披露帖子有报酬的网红。分析句子结构，该空填名词，在句中作主语，由提示词“guiding”可知，H选项principle符合题意，表示指导“原则”，故选H。 II. Reading Comprehension (21 – 35题，每题1分；36 – 50题，每题2分；共45分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. A heart attack occurs when blood flow to part of the heart is blocked, starving it of oxygen and leading to the death of muscle tissue. For decades, medical experts in the study of the heart have had to acknowledge that a damaged heart remains 21 damaged. Once a heart attack kills off muscle cells, they are gone for good, replaced by fibrous tissue that 22 the organ and frequently results in heart failure. That, 23 , may be about to change, thanks to a team of scientists who have found a way of helping the heart to get better itself. By reawakening an inactive gene (基因) known as CCNA2, researchers at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York made adult human heart cells divide and multiply in a laboratory — something long thought 24 , The results, published in the Nature Regenerative Medicine journal, suggest it may one day be possible to regrow heart tissue after injury, 25 the need for transplants or implanted devices. To understand how this works, it’s essential to examine the 26 of the CCNA2 gene. In the woman’s womb (子宫), CCNA2 drives the growth of the developing heart — but the gene 27 soon after birth. A director of heart-related regenerative medicine at Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine, has spent nearly 20 years trying to 28 that process. In 2014, her team became the first to regenerate a large animal’s heart by reactivating CCNA2. They used pigs, the hearts of which closely look like those of humans, but now her group has produced evidence indicating that the same 29 could work in adult human heart cells. After delivering a(n) 30 version of CCNA2 into heart muscle cells taken from donor organs aged 21, 41 and 55, they watched the gene take effect using microscopes. After the gene treatment, the most 31 results involved mature cells growing again in the two older hearts. These cells began to divide in two, and they maintained the structure and proteins that gave heart muscle its strength. However, when heart cells divide in a lab, they would occasionally 32 their shape or rhythm, which would make the cells useless or dangerous. 33 , therefore, involves seeking approval from the U. S. Food and Drug Administration to start to test the gene treatment in heart patients. “This is the 34 of nearly two decades of continuous research,” Chaudhry emphasized. “Now we’ve brought this breakthrough one step 35 to patients.” 21．A．considerably B．frequently C．gradually D．permanently 22．A．awakens B．surrounds C．weakens D．abuses 23．A．therefore B．however C．moreover D．meanwhile 24．A．unachievable B．uncomfortable C．inconsistent D．inevitable 25．A．supporting B．indicating C．creating D．reducing 26．A．domain B．source C．role D．code 27．A．breaks down B．bursts out C．speeds up D．switches off 28．A．reverse B．undergo C．stimulate D．simplify 29．A．approach B．medicine C．function D．product 30．A．original B．active C．stable D．temporary 31．A．conflicting B．striking C．misleading D．distressing 32．A．clone B．waste C．lose D．select 33．A．A possible exception B．A new test C．The next step D．The future setback 34．A．basis B．assumption C．beginning D．peak 35．A．narrower B．closer C．maturer D．slower 【答案】 21．D 22．C 23．B 24．A 25．D 26．C 27．D 28．A 29．A 30．B 31．B 32．C 33．C 34．D 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了纽约西奈山医院的科学家团队通过重新激活一种名为CCNA2的基因，使成年人类心脏细胞在实验室中分裂和增殖，为心脏再生治疗带来了希望，有望减少对移植或植入设备的需求。 【详解】21．考查副词词义辨析。句意：几十年来，研究心脏的医学专家不得不承认，受损的心脏会永久受损。A. considerably相当大地；B. frequently频繁地；C. gradually逐渐地；D. permanently永久地。根据后文“Once a heart attack kills off muscle cells, they are gone for good, replaced by fibrous tissue that __2__ the organ and frequently results in heart failure.”可知，一旦心脏病发作导致肌肉细胞死亡，它们就会一去不复返，被纤维组织所取代，纤维组织会削弱心脏，并经常导致心力衰竭，所以此处指心脏受损后会永久受损。故选D项。 22．考查动词词义辨析。句意：一旦心脏病发作导致肌肉细胞死亡，它们就会一去不复返，被纤维组织所取代，纤维组织会削弱心脏，并经常导致心力衰竭。A. awakens唤醒；B. surrounds包围；C. weakens削弱；D. abuses滥用。根据后文“and frequently results in heart failure”可知，纤维组织会削弱心脏，导致心力衰竭。故选C项。 23．考查副词词义辨析。句意：然而，由于一组科学家的发现，这种情况可能即将改变，他们找到了一种帮助心脏自我修复的方法。A. therefore因此；B. however然而；C. moreover此外；D. meanwhile同时。根据前文“Once a heart attack kills off muscle cells, they are gone for good, replaced by fibrous tissue that __2__ the organ and frequently results in heart failure.”以及后文“may be about to change, thanks to a team of scientists who have found a way of helping the heart to get better itself.”可知，前后文为转折关系，所以此处用however。故选B项。 24．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：纽约西奈山医院的研究人员通过重新激活一种名为CCNA2的休眠基因，使成年人类心脏细胞在实验室中分裂和增殖——这一现象长期以来被认为是不可能实现的。A. unachievable无法实现的；B. uncomfortable不舒服的；C. inconsistent不一致的；D. inevitable不可避免的。根据前文“By reawakening an inactive gene(基因)known as CCNA2, researchers at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York made adult human heart cells divide and multiply in a laboratory”可知，此处指成年人类心脏细胞在实验室中分裂和增殖这一现象长期以来被认为是不可能实现的。故选A项。 25．考查动词词义辨析。句意：这项发表在《自然再生医学》杂志上的研究结果表明，有一天可能能够在受伤后重新生长心脏组织，减少对移植或植入设备的需求。A. supporting支持；B. indicating表明；C. creating创造；D. reducing减少。根据前文“it may one day be possible to regrow heart tissue after injury”可知，此处指减少对移植或植入设备的需求。故选D项。 26．考查名词词义辨析。句意：要了解这是如何起作用的，就必须检查CCNA2基因的作用。A. domain领域；B. source来源；C. role作用；D. code代码。根据后文“In the woman’s womb (子宫), CCNA2 drives the growth of the developing heart — but the gene __7__ soon after birth.”可知，此处指检查CCNA2基因的作用。故选C项。 27．考查动词短语辨析。句意：在女性子宫中，CCNA2驱动发育中的心脏的生长，但该基因在出生后不久就关闭了。A. breaks down分解；B. bursts out爆发；C. speeds up加速；D. switches off关闭。根据后文“has spent nearly 20 years trying to __8__ that process.”可知，科学家花费近20年试图逆转这个过程，所以此处指该基因在出生后不久就关闭了。故选D项。 28．考查动词词义辨析。句意：西奈山伊坎医学院心脏相关再生医学主任花了近20年时间试图逆转这一过程。A. reverse逆转；B. undergo经历；C. stimulate刺激；D. simplify简化。根据后文“In 2014, her team became the first to regenerate a large animal’s heart by reactivating CCNA2.”可知，此处指科学家试图逆转这一过程。故选A项。 29．考查名词词义辨析。句意：他们使用猪，猪的心脏与人类的心脏非常相似，但现在她的团队已经提供了证据表明，同样的方法也可能适用于成年人类心脏细胞。A. approach方法；B. medicine药物；C. function功能；D. product产品。根据前文“In 2014, her team became the first to regenerate a large animal’s heart by reactivating CCNA2.”可知，此处指同样的方法也可能适用于成年人类心脏细胞。故选A项。 30．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在将活性版本的CCNA2基因导入从21岁、41岁和55岁捐赠者器官中提取的心肌细胞后，他们使用显微镜观察了该基因的作用。A. original原始的；B. active活跃的；C. stable稳定的；D. temporary暂时的。根据前文“By reawakening an inactive gene(基因)known as CCNA2”可知，此处指将活性版本的CCNA2基因导入心肌细胞。故选B项。 31．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：基因治疗后，最显著的结果是，在两个年龄较大的心脏中，成熟细胞再次生长。A. conflicting冲突的；B. striking显著的；C. misleading误导的；D. distressing令人痛苦的。根据后文“results involved mature cells growing again in the two older hearts.”可知，此处指最显著的结果。故选B项。 32．考查动词词义辨析。句意：然而，当心脏细胞在实验室中分裂时，它们偶尔会失去形状或节奏，这会使细胞无用或危险。A. clone克隆；B. waste浪费；C. lose失去；D. select选择。根据后文“which would make the cells useless or dangerous”可知，此处指心脏细胞偶尔会失去形状或节奏。故选C项。 33．考查名词短语辨析。句意：因此，下一步是寻求美国食品药品监督管理局的批准，开始在心脏病患者中测试基因治疗。A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A In winter, Harnmerfest is a thirty-hour ride by bus from Oslo, though why anyone would want to go there in winter is a question worth considering. It is on the edge of the world, the northernmost town in Europe, as far from London as London is from Tunis, a place of dark and fierce winters, where the sun sinks into the Arctic Ocean in November and does not rise again for ten weeks. I wanted to see the Northern Lights. But now as I picked my way through Osto in late December, I was beginning to have my doubts. Things had not started well. I had overslept at the hotel, missing breakfast, and had to leap into my clothes. I couldn’t find a taxi and had to drag my overweight bag eight blocks to the central bus station. I had had huge difficulty persuading the staff at the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate to cash sufficient traveler’s cheques to pay the 1,200-kroner bus fare — they simply could not be made to grasp that the William McGuire Bryson on my passport and the Bill Brvson on my traveler’s cheques were both me — and now here I was arriving at the station two minutes before departure, and the girl at the ticket counter was telling me that she had no record of my reservation. “This isn’t happening,” I said. “I’m still at home in England enjoying Christmas.” Actually, I said, “There must be some mistake. Please look again.” The girl studied the passenger list. “No, Mr. Bryson, your name is not here.” But I could see it, even upside-down. “There it is, second from the bottom.” “No,” the girl decided, “that says Bernt Bjornson. That’s a Norwegian name.” “It doesn’t say Bernt Bjornson. It says Bill Bryson. Look at they, the two l’s. Miss, please,” But she wouldn’t have it. “If I miss this bus, when does the next one go?” “Next week at the same time.” Oh, splendid. “Miss, believe me, it says Bill Bryson.” “No, it doesn’t.” “Miss, look, I’ve come from England. I’m carrying some medicine that could save a child’s life.” She didn’t buy this. “I want to see the manager.” “He’s in Stavanger.” “Listen, I made a reservation by telephone. If I don’t get on this bus, I’m going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects for the rest of this century.” This clearly did not alarm her. Then it occurred to me. “If this Bernt Bjornson doesn’t show up, can I have this seat?” “Sure.” Why don’t I think of these things in the first place? “Thank you,” I said. 36．What can be learned from the passage about Hammerfest? A．It is located in the South of the city of Oslo. B．It is where the Northern Lights can be seen. C．It is known as a town without sufficient power supply. D．It remains in the darkness from November till next March. 37．The writer got to the station just two minutes before the train departed because he spent much time ________. A．cashing his traveler’s cheques B．packing everything into his luggage C．waiting for a taxi to send him there D．choosing suitable clothes to wear 38．By “Oh, splendid”, the writer meant that he actually felt ________. A．puzzled B．amazed C．worried D．relieved 39．Why did the writer say he was carrying some medicine and he would write to the manager? A．To tell the girl what he really wanted to do. B．To show the girl how angry he was with her. C．To warn the girl of the potential consequences. D．To persuade the girl to allow him onto the bus. 【答案】36．B 37．A 38．C 39．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者为了去Hammerfest看北极光，在出发前遇到的一系列波折，包括在银行兑换旅行支票的困难以及在车站差点错过巴士的经历。 36．细节理解题。根据第一段中“It is on the edge of the world, the northernmost town in Europe(它位于世界的边缘，是欧洲最北端的城镇)”和第二段中“I wanted to see the Northern Lights.(我想去看北极光)”可知，Hammerfest是欧洲最北端的城镇，是作者去看北极光的目的地。故选B项。 37．细节理解题。根据第三段中“I had had huge difficulty persuading the staff at the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate to cash sufficient traveler’s cheques to pay the 1,200-kroner bus fare(我费了好大的劲才说服卡尔·约翰斯门的Kreditkassen银行的工作人员兑换足够的旅行支票来支付1200克朗的车费)”可知，作者花了很长时间兑换旅行支票，所以他在火车出发前两分钟才赶到车站。故选A项。 38．词句猜测题。根据上文“‘If I miss this bus, when does the next one go?’ ‘Next week at the same time.’ (“如果我错过这班车，下一班是什么时候?”“下周同一时间。”)以及下文“‘Miss, believe me, it says Bill Bryson.’ ‘No, it doesn’t.’”(“小姐，相信我，上面写的是Bill Bryson。”“不，不是。”)”可知，作者错过这班车就要等下周同一时间的下一班车，所以当得知下一班车的时间时，作者很无奈，觉得很糟糕，因此“Oh, splendid”实际上是作者表达担忧的情绪。故选C项。 39．推理判断题。根据倒数第六段“‘Miss, look, I’ve come from England. I’m carrying some medicine that could save a child’s life.’ She didn’t buy this. ‘I want to see the manager.’ (“小姐，看，我从英国来。我带着一些能救孩子命的药。”她不相信。“我想见经理。”)”、倒数第五段“He’s in Stavanger. (他在斯塔万格) ”和倒数第四段中“Listen, I made a reservation by telephone. If I don’t get on this bus, I’m going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects for the rest of this century. (听着，我是打电话预订的。如果我上不了这班车，我就给你经理写一封信，这封信会在这个世纪剩下的时间里给你的职业前景投下阴影)”可知，作者说带着能救孩子命的药以及要给经理写信都是为了说服售票员让他上车。故选D项。 B The Shimmering State by Meredith Westgate. Atria Books, 2021 ($27) Memoroxin, a personalized pill that replaces memories in people with Alzheimer’s, is being abused as a recreational drug. Disconnected from reality, Lucien and Sophie meet at a “Mem” health recovery center in Los Angeles, where personal psychological traumas, along with foreign memories, can be removed. They feel drawn to each other; have they met before? Like the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , The Shimmering State explores whether the joys and pains of love can ever be fully erased. Through interconnected relationships, the novel delves into some of the moral dilemmas of a technology that can catalog and edit consciousness. —Jen Schwartz     Dark and Magical Places: The Neuroscience of Navigation by Christopher Kemp. W.W. Norton, 2022 ($26.95) Navigation is one of the most complex cognitive tasks humans engage in daily. In this fascinating dive into the brain, neurobiology researcher Christopher Kemp explores how we orient where we’re going, why we lose our way, and what scientists know about how we do both these things. Kemp’s explanations of concepts such as grid cells are clear and engaging, but the book shines brightest in his entertaining descriptions of his own chronic lostness, as well as in surprisingly moving stories about people who have wandered dangerously off route. Some make it home, but others don’t. —Tess Joosse Secret Worlds: The Extraordinary Senses of Animals by Martin Stevens. Oxford University Press, 2021 ($25.95) Ecologist Martin Stevens catalogs animals’ sensory systems and how they exceed our own while informing and challenging our reality as humans. The book has a narrative and inquisitive style that will show examples of the amazing capabilities they allow, from nocturnal dung beetles that orientate by using the Milky Way to sea turtles that navigate currents by reading the earth’s magnetic fields. Secret Worlds is filled with lessons on how different species evolved to perceive the world. —Jen St.Jude Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy. Flatiron Books, 2021 ($27.99) Australian writer Charlotte McConaghy (author of Migrations ) delivers a thrilling and touching novel about a woman named Inti Flynn and her team of biologists who reintroduce gray wolves into Scotland’s remote Highlands. At first, the wolves seem to thrive, but when a farmer gets hurt, she suspects the man she loves. Her story unfolds as a social and scientific meditation on the consequences of influencing ecosystems, while reminding us that humans and animals alike can break our hearts. —Amy Brady 40．What can we infer from the introduction of The Shimmering State? A．Memoroxin, which cures Alzheimer’s, is a recreational drug. B．Lucien and Sophie feel drawn to each other for foreign memories. C．The book suggests the joys and pains of love should be completely removed. D．Editing consciousness by a technology may bring about some moral problems. 41．It can be learned from the whole passage that__________. A．among the four books, only Dark and Magical Places touches upon the topic of navigation B．the heroine in Once There Were Wolves doesn’t believe the farmer is hurt by wolves C．the highlights of Dark and Magical Places are Kemp’s explanations of some concepts D．McConaghy’s novel merely focuses on the social and scientific impact on the ecosystems 42．If Bob is interested in science and wants to gain more insight into animals’ perception of the world, which of the books should be recommended? A．The Shimmering State B．Dark and Magical Places C．Secret Worlds D．Once There Were Wolves 【答案】40．D 41．B 42．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要以书籍推荐的形式，分别介绍了四本不同类型的书籍，包括科幻小说、神经生物学科普书、动物感官科普书和生态主题小说，简要说明了每本书的作者、出版社、定价及核心内容。 【详解】40．推理判断题。根据《The Shimmering State》部分中的“Through interconnected relationships, the novel delves into some of the moral dilemmas of a technology that can catalog and edit consciousness.(这部小说通过人与人之间紧密相连的关系，深入探讨了一种能够记录并编辑人类意识的技术所引发的一些道德困境)”可推断，利用该技术编辑意识可能会带来一些道德层面的问题。故选D。 41．细节理解题。根据《Once There Were Wolves》部分中的“At first, the wolves seem to thrive, but when a farmer gets hurt, she suspects the man she loves.(起初，这些狼似乎适应得很好，但当一位农夫遭遇意外受伤后，她却怀疑上了自己深爱的男人)”可知，农夫受伤后，女主角并未怀疑是狼造成的，反而怀疑自己爱的人，由此可推断她不相信农夫是被狼所伤。故选B。 42．细节理解题。根据《Secret Worlds: The Extraordinary Senses of Animals》部分中的“Ecologist Martin Stevens catalogs animals’ sensory systems and how they exceed our own while informing and challenging our reality as humans.(生态学家马丁·史蒂文斯详细记载了动物的感官系统，以及这些系统如何超越人类的感官系统，同时为人类认知现实提供新的视角，也对人类既有的认知提出挑战)”和“Secret Worlds is filled with lessons on how different species evolved to perceive the world.(《神秘世界》一书详细阐述了不同物种如何进化出感知世界的能力)”可知，这两句话明确说明该书围绕动物的感官系统展开，讲解了不同动物感知世界的方式，恰好契合Bob想要了解动物对世界的感知这一需求。故选C。 C You’re walking down a quiet street and suddenly you hear some footsteps. Undoubtedly, it means that there’s someone around. But have you ever wondered why it occurs to us that it’s someone else’s footsteps, not ours? According to a new study published in the journal Nature in September, this phenomenon arises from a function in our brain to ignore the noise we make ourselves. In order to explore how our brain does this, a group of scientists carried out an experiment with mice at Duke University. The research entered on an intuition-that we are usually unaware of the sound of our own footsteps-as a vehicle for understanding larger neural phenomena; how this behavior reveals the ability to monitor, recognize, and remember the sound of one’s own movements in relation to those of their larger environments. In the experiment, research controlled the sounds of a group of mice could hear, reported Science Daily. During the first several days, the mice would hear the same sound each time they took a step. This was just like “running on a tiny piano with each key playing exactly the same note”, senior study author Richard Mooney, a professor of neurobiology at Duke University, told Live Science. Scientists found that their auditory cortex (听觉皮层) – the area of the brain that processes sound –became active at first but decreased its response to the sound after two or three minutes when the mice became familiar with it. “ It’s almost like they were wearing special headphones that could filter (过滤) out the sound of their own movements.” David Schneider, an assistant professor at the Center for Neutral Science at New York University, told HuffPost. But once the sound changed, their auditory cortex became active again. This suggests that the “sensory filter” in a mouse’s brain could help it detect new sounds or abnormal noise in the environment easily after tuning out familiar sounds. “For mice, this is really important,” said Schneider. “They are prey animals, so they really need to be able to listen for a cat creeping up on them, even when they’re walking and making noise. Being able to ignore the sounds of one’s own movements is likely important for humans as well. But the ability to predict the sounds of our own actions is also important for more complex human behaviors such as speaking or playing an instrument. “When we learn to speak or to play music, we predict what sounds we are going to hear – such as when we prepare to strike keys on a piano – and we compare this to what we actually hear, “explains Schneider. “We use mismatches between expectation and experience to change how we play – and we get better over time because our brain is trying to minimize these errors.” 43．What can be discovered about mice in the experiment? A．Their brain responds inactively to the familiar sounds B．They are able to detect sounds other animals don’t notice. C．They cannot identify different sounds except their own footsteps. D．Different areas of their brain are responsible for different sounds. 44．What’s the function of the sensory filter? A．Ignoring the sounds made by our companions. B．Getting used to abnormal or unfamiliar sounds. C．Identifying the sounds from a larger environment. D．Being sensitive to the sounds of our own movement. 45．Why can a good symphony conductor immediately recognize it when a wrong note is played? A．He has the ability to match the wrong note with the instrument player. B．He has an intuition that he should ignore the sound of his own movement. C．He has a low expectation and knows where players are likely to make errors. D．He has a good prediction of how each note should be played in the orchestra. 46．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Noise-filtering ability ensures us a quiet and undisturbed environment. B．The ability to ignore familiar noises helps to detect potential dangers. C．The activeness of auditory cortex determines our activity performance. D．Sound-predicting ability seems not so important for humans as for animals. 【答案】43．A 44．C 45．D 46．B 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了根据9月份发表在《自然》杂志上的一项新研究表明人类拥有忽视熟悉的噪音的能力，即忽视我们自己发出的噪音，文章说明了得出这一结论的实验过程，实验结果说明能够忽视自己动作的声音对人类来说很重要。 43．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第四段中This suggests that the “sensory filter” in a mouse’s brain could help it detect new sounds or abnormal noise in the environment easily after tuning out familiar sounds.（这表明，老鼠大脑中的“感觉过滤器”可以帮助它在排除熟悉的声音后，更容易地检测到环境中的新声音或异常噪音）。由此可知，老鼠的大脑对熟悉的声音反应迟钝。结合选项，故选A。 44．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第五段中It’s almost like they were wearing special headphones that could filter (过滤) out the sound of their own movements.（这就像他们戴着特殊的耳机，可以过滤掉自己运动的声音）。由此可以推断出，这种过滤器可以识别来自大环境中的声音。结合选项，故选C。 45．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中Being able to ignore the sounds of one’s own movements is likely important for humans as well. But the ability to predict the sounds of our own actions is also important for more complex human behaviors such as speaking or playing an instrument.（能够忽略自己动作的声音对人类来说可能也很重要。但是，预测我们自己行动的声音的能力，对于更复杂的人类行为，比如说话或演奏乐器也很重要。）由此可以推知，一个好的交响乐指挥家在一个错误的音符被演奏时，能立即识别它，因为他能够预测出每个音符在管弦乐队中应该如何演奏。结合选项，故选D。 46．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中You’re walking down a quiet street and suddenly you hear some footsteps. Undoubtedly, it means that there’s someone around. But have you ever wondered why it occurs to us that it’s someone else’s footsteps, not ours?（你走在一条安静的街道上，突然听到一些脚步声。毫无疑问，这意味着周围有人。但你有没有想过，为什么我们会想到这是别人的脚步，而不是我们的?）由此可以判断出，如果人类有忽视熟悉噪音的能力，有助于发现潜在危险。结合选项，故选B。 【点睛】推理判断题属于主观题，是层次较高的题目。它包括判断和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了作出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。该题要求在理解表面文字的基础上，作出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息，推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。如本题第四小题，根据文章第一段中You’re walking down a quiet street and suddenly you hear some footsteps. Undoubtedly, it means that there’s someone around. But have you ever wondered why it occurs to us that it’s someone else’s footsteps, not ours?（你走在一条安静的街道上，突然听到一些脚步声。毫无疑问，这意味着周围有人。但你有没有想过，为什么我们会想到这是别人的脚印，而不是我们的?）由此可以判断出，如果人类有忽视熟悉噪音的能力，有助于发现潜在危险。结合选项，故选B。 Section C Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. From classrooms to care homes Less than three years ago Ms Jiang was tidying away toys and singing rhymes as a teacher at a nursery in Beijing. She remembers parents knocking on the door in an effort to sign their children up. That gradually became rarer, until last year Ms Jiang found herself distributing promotional leaflets for the nursery in her lunchbreaks. 47 Last May Ms Jiang moved into a sector with better growth prospects: care homes and her abilities to teach handicrafts and play games come in useful. Between 2017 and 2022 China’s total fertility (生育) rate crashed from 1.8 to 1. Between 2021 and 2024 pupil numbers in pre-schools fell from 48m to 36m. Some 42,000 of 295,000 pre-schools have closed, and 360,000 of 3.2m pre-school teachers have quit. 48 Whereas China’s nursery-going group will fall by 14m in the next five years, the number of people aged 65 and over will rise from 211m to 256m. China badly needs more staff to care for them. In 2021 it had just half a million certified care workers. That made for just 0.27 care workers per 100 people aged 65 and above, a shockingly low number. Universities have launched degrees in elderly care. The first batch of students graduated last year, to hot demand. All this motivated one Ms Wu in 2023 to open her own care home in Jiangxi after years in nurseries. She has nine residents paying 2,600 yuan a month to be there. The outlook is bright, she says: right now those in care homes have multiple children on average. Those born in the 1970s and 1980s mostly have only one child, which means fewer people to look after them when they eventually get old. 49 She has also had a few from nursery teachers looking to make the switch she did. The government likes “mixed-use” facilities where both young and old are looked after. 50 It had facilities for table-tennis and space for calligraphy, and when the nursery teachers were free, they taught the elderly. The old certainly enjoy seeing the young; some grandparents even drop off tiny relatives at the nursery before heading to their own floor. A．A newspaper has called for local governments to provide funds for such projects. B．A silver lining exists for those sharp-witted enough to adapt. C．Caring for the elderly is easier than caring for young children. D．Last year in Chongqing, for example, an empty floor of a nursery was turned into an “elderly-care station”. E．Ms Wu gets enquiries almost every day from prospective customers. F．She realised the writing was on the wall. 【答案】47．F 48．B 49．E 50．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国由于生育率下降，幼儿园数量减少、教师流失，而老龄化加剧，养老护理需求大增，一些人从幼儿园转行到养老行业，政府也支持“混合用途”设施。 【详解】47．由上文“Less than three years ago Ms Jiang was tidying away toys and singing rhymes as a teacher at a nursery in Beijing.

Summary Writing (10分) 51．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. What is AI’s Role in Art Creation? As artificial intelligence advances across creative fields, a question emerges: Do people want AI to become an artist or simply a tool for artistic creation? Evidence suggests that while the public is increasingly familiar with AI systems, they would prefer to see AI supporting human creativity rather than replacing it. A key reason lies in the human dimension of art. When people picture their favorite works, say, Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, what they value is not merely technical delivery but the emotional depth tied to human experience. In a recent survey, over 60 percent said they would value their favorite artwork less if told it was AI-produced. Their responses highlight a shared belief: People seek the imaginative struggles and personal histories behind creative works, a quality machines cannot genuinely copy. Concerns about originality and copyright strengthen this resistance. Respondents criticized AI outputs as unoriginal, seeing them as mere reflections of models trained on vast quantities of human-created materials. The possibility of unauthorized data use and unclear artistic ownership fuels distrust. These worries reveal why people hesitate to view AI-generated materials-especially films-as real art: It lacks clear authorship and true creative intention. Yet attitudes shift when AI assists rather than replaces human artists. Forty-two percent of participants regarded users of AI as artists who provided clear creative direction — a sign of openness to human-AI collaboration. This perspective points to a real obstacle in today’s creative world: Many individuals with ideas lack the resources or skills to realize them. In such cases, AI can serve as an enabling tool, lowering costs and expanding access to creative expression. Ultimately, people value art as a human-centered means of connection. While AI can broaden artistic possibilities, it’s best used as a tool that supports and enriches human vision. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Most people prefer AI as a tool for art rather than an independent artist because they value the human emotion and personal history behind artworks. Concerns about originality and copyright also lead to resistance toward AI-generated art. However, if AI assists human artists by lowering creative barriers, it is more widely accepted. Ultimately, art is seen as a human-centered form of connection. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了人工智能在艺术创作中的角色，指出大众更倾向于AI作为创作工具而非独立艺术家，原因是人们看重艺术背后的人类情感与个人经历，且担忧AI作品的原创性和版权问题；AI辅助人类创作、降低创作门槛时易被接受，艺术终究是以人类为核心的情感联结方式。 【详解】1. 要点摘录（列出至少5个要点，均为原文原句） ①Evidence suggests that while the public is increasingly familiar with AI systems, they would prefer to see AI supporting human creativity rather than replacing it. ②When people picture their favorite works, say, Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, what they value is not merely technical delivery but the emotional depth tied to human experience. ③In a recent survey, over 60 percent said they would value their favorite artwork less if told it was Al-produced. ④Concerns about originality and copyright strengthen this resistance. ⑤Forty-two percent of participants regarded users of AI as artists who provided clear creative direction — a sign of openness to human-AI collaboration. ⑥In such cases, AI can serve as an enabling tool, lowering costs and expanding access to creative expression. ⑦Ultimately, people value art as a human-centered means of connection. 2. 缜密构思 以第①点总起，点明大众对AI的核心定位；整合②③点，说明人们重视艺术的人文属性是排斥AI替代创作的关键；以第④点作为原创性与版权层面的抗拒原因；整合⑤⑥点，体现大众对AI辅助创作的接受度及AI的作用；以第⑦点总结艺术的核心属性，最终整合所有要点形成与答案一致的表述。 3. 遣词造句 Most people prefer AI as a tool for art rather than an independent artist because they value the human emotion and personal history behind artworks.
