There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change.” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. 4. What change does Farr bring to her school? A. Additional income. B. Flexible environments. C. Upgraded equipment. D. Diverse outdoor games. 5. What is the main reason for Farr to introduce play-based learning? A. To reduce teacher’s workload． B. To enhance the school’s reputation. C. To improve students’ academic results. D. To promote kids’ well-being and growth. 6. Which best describes the students with the new seating arrangement? A. More focused. B. More energetic. C. More self-centred． D. More courageous. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Farr’s approach? A. Its theory. B. Its challenge. C. Its purpose. D. Its effectiveness. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述牛津某小学的校长Tina Farr在学校推行以游戏为基础的学习模式，调整教学环境，促进学生健康发展并取得良好效果的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.”(该校五年级学生（年龄在 9 至 10 岁之间）曾难以在狭小空间里安静坐好，于是她移除了所有家具。“效果立竿见影，十分显著。现在孩子们可以自主选择学习的地点和方式。曾经难以集中注意力的班级，如今变得安静且专注投入。”)”可知，Farr为学校带来的改变是灵活的学习环境。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?”(Farr长期以来一直倡导游戏的价值，并努力推动游戏融入课间休息时间。“老师们会认可我们所做的事，而且相比常规方法，这种方式并不需要额外的规划。”在为她所带的一年级和二年级学生落实好游戏化学习后，Farr接着开始审视其他方面，试图找出那些行不通的做法并进行改进。“如果一种做法不符合儿童的健康发展规律，我们为什么还要坚持呢？”)”以及第四段中调整家具后学生专注力和自我调节能力提升的效果可知，Farr推行以游戏为基础的学习模式，主要是为了促进孩子的健康和成长。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的““The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.”(“效果立竿见影，且十分显著。现在孩子们可以自主选择学习的地点和方式。曾经难以集中注意力的班级，如今变得安静且专注投入。” 一位老师这样写道：“孩子们的自我调节能力有了很大提升，他们能更主动地静下心来学习了。”)”可知，新的座位安排（灵活的学习环境）让学生更专注了。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. (六月份，这所学校顺利通过了英国教育标准局（Ofsted）的检查。“检查员完全理解我们的游戏化学习模式。”Farr 表示，她的教学方法是可以推广的。“孩子们的投入程度让我非常惊喜，太了不起了。” 她说。)”可知，该段主要通过学校通过检查、检查员认可、学生进步显著等内容，体现Farr推行的方法的有效性。故选D项。 C A new study has found human feelings can accurately be expressed numerically and have more predictive power for how we behave than formal studies of socioeconomic factors like household income and employment status. The study co-author Andrew Oswald, a professor of economics and behavioral science gathered information from nearly 700,000 people, who were asked annually over a three-decade period how they felt on a numerical scale about their job, spouse, health and home. Using the data collected, researchers constructed statistical models to show how people felt and the actions they took as a result of their reported feelings. The study found that ratings of life satisfaction had a direct linear (线性的) relationship to actions people subsequently take. Participants who rated their job satisfaction as a 2 out of 7 had a 25% probability of quitting their job. Those who rated a 6 out of 7 had only a 10 percent probability of quitting. The same was true across other measures like marriage, health and housing. Previous research has also shown data about feelings predict human outcomes, but not in such a linear fashion; the degree of satisfaction served as a good predictor of future actions. Additionally, economists have previously been critical of feelings data because they considered them unscientific and unreliable. But this study shows socioeconomic factors have a lesser probability of predicting human behavior than data on feelings. Though the study shows numbers can quantify feelings, researchers are still a bit confused as to why estimates of seemingly subjective feelings can be such good predictors of future actions. According to Oswald, a number of factors could be at play. Humans are very experienced in comparative thinking and are able to scale their own life satisfaction against that of their neighbors. We’re also accustomed to using measuring devices for other aspects of life like temperature, distance and weight, so it shouldn’t be too surprising that we’re able to measure our feelings in a similarly accurate way. Another study co-author Caspar Kaiser says that it may also be because we communicate our feelings and do it in a scaled fashion every day. This could be why it comes out in the data more accurately than in objective markers. Ori Heffetz, an economics professor who was not involved in the study, says that this research shows feelings data shouldn’t be underestimated even if they’re more difficult to study. “Scientists who ignore this do so at their own risk,” he says. Looking ahead, Kaiser hopes this same data can be studied in lower-income countries so that it can be applied universally to places with varied levels of economic development. But more than anything else he’s interested in studying why feelings work so well. 8. Paragraph 2 is mainly about . A. research process and findings B. research topic and significance C. research subjects and purpose D. research data collection and analysis 9. What can we know about the study? A. It also applies to people from lower-income countries. B. It challenges the opinion that feelings data are unreliable. C. It explains why ratings of feelings can foresee future actions. D. It first shows data about feelings can predict human behavior 10. What is Ori’s attitude towards the study? A. Neutral. B. Skeptical. C. Supportive. D. Cautious. 11. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. How You Rate Your Life Predicts Your Future Behavior B. Feelings Forecast Actions Better than Economic Factors C. Why Your Feelings Affect Your Future Actions D. Ranking Every Aspect of Your Life Counts 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现人们对生活的评价可以预测未来的行为。文章讲述了该项研究的过程及结论的得出。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The study co-author Andrew Oswald, a professor of economics and behavioral science gathered information from nearly 700,000 people, who were asked annually over a three-decade period how they felt on a numerical scale about their job, spouse, health and home.

The same was true across other measures like marriage, health and housing.”（这项研究的合著者，经济学和行为科学教授安德鲁 · 奥斯瓦尔德(Andrew Oswald)收集了近70万人的信息。在过去的30年里，他们每年都会被问及对自己的工作、配偶、健康和家庭的感受。利用收集到的数据，研究人员构建了统计模型，以显示人们的感受以及他们因报告的感受而采取的行动。研究发现，生活满意度的等级与人们随后采取的行动有直接的线性关系。参与者将他们的工作满意度评为7分中的2分，他们辞职的可能性为25% 。那些得到6分(满分7分)的人只有10% 的可能性会放弃。在婚姻、健康和住房等其他指标上也是如此。）可知，本段主要讲述了实施研究的过程和研究结果。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Previous research has also shown data about feelings predict human outcomes, but not in such a linear fashion; the degree of satisfaction served as a good predictor of future actions. Additionally, economists have previously been critical of feelings data because they considered them unscientific and unreliable. But this study shows socioeconomic factors have a lesser probability of predicting human behavior than data on feelings.”（先前的研究也表明，关于情感的数据可以预测人类的结果，但不是以这样的线性方式；满意度可以很好地预测未来的行动。此外，经济学家此前一直对情感数据持批评态度，因为他们认为这些数据不科学、不可靠。但是，这项研究表明，社会经济因素预测人类行为的可能性低于情感数据。）可知，之前的研究结果表明情感的数据可以预测人类的行为。但是，这项研究表明，社会经济因素预测人类行为的可能性低于情感数据。所以这个研究的结果证实了之前的研究的结论不可靠。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Ori Heffetz, an economics professor who was not involved in the study, says that this research shows feelings data shouldn’t be underestimated even if they’re more difficult to study. “Scientists who ignore this do so at their own risk,” he says.”（没有参与这项研究的经济学教授 Ori Heffetz 说，这项研究表明，即使感觉数据更难研究，也不应该被低估。他说: “忽视这一点的科学家要承担自己的风险。”）可推知，经济学教授 Ori Heffetz认为， 即使感觉数据更难研究，也不应该被低估。所以对于这次研究他是赞同的。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第二段的研究发现“The study found that ratings of life satisfaction had a direct linear (线性的) relationship to actions people subsequently take. Participants who rated their job satisfaction as a 2 out of 7 had a 25% probability of quitting their job. Those who rated a 6 out of 7 had only a 10 percent probability of quitting. The same was true across other measures like marriage, health and housing.”（研究发现，生活满意度的等级与人们随后采取的行动有直接的线性关系。参与者将他们的工作满意度评为7分中的2分，他们辞职的可能性为25% 。那些得到6分(满分7分)的人只有10% 的可能性会放弃。在婚姻、健康和住房等其他指标上也是如此。）可知，本文主要讲述了一项新的研究成果：你对自己生活满意度的评价会影响你未来的行为。因此，A项“你对生活的评价可以预测你未来的行为”。故选A。 D Electric fish are interesting creatures that “see” their world and each other by sensing — and generating their own — electric fields. To Kanaka Rajan, a Harvard professor, these fish offer a new way to understand collective (集体的) intelligence, which means how individuals work together to achieve goals. She also believes that their special ability can inspire research in Neuro (神经) AI, a new area that studies how both living things and machines sense the world and process information. One species Rajan’s team focuses on is the elephantnose fish, which uses electric pulses (脉冲) to communicate and find its way. Despite the simplicity of their communication, these fish display cooperative behaviors, such as guiding others to food sources. By studying these interactions, researchers can better understand the nature of cooperation and competition. These insights are crucial for developing more adaptive artificial intelligence systems which can work together to solve complex problems. To further explore these ideas, Rajan’s team uses artificial models that act like elephantnose fish. These models allow them to experiment with different factors, like food availability, to see how cooperative and competing behaviors emerge in different contexts. Their research suggests that the availability of food influences how the fish interact with one another. Less reliable food sources lead to more competitive behaviors. Cooperation and competition aren’t hardwired into these artificial models. Rather, these behaviors slowly appear over many generations as the models are tested and changed. Rajan’s research bridges biology and technology, showing how natural systems can inspire new advances in artificial intelligence. Principles of collective intelligence may play an important role in how individual AI systems interact and communicate. When these systems work together as a team, they show promise for faster, more complex, and more adaptable problem-solving in tech. Only time will tell if such Al systems prove useful, but in the meantime, foundational work of this kind is casting light on how both biological and artificial systems can produce collective intelligence. 12. What is the main purpose of Rajan’s research? A. To study group cooperation ways. B. To solve AI network problems. C. To compare animals with Al systems. D. To create electric fields for robots. 13. What do we know about the elephantnose fish? A. It competes to control food sources. B. It adjusts pulses for speed control. C. It uses electric signals for teamwork. D. It finds its way through visual systems. 14. What does the underlined word “hardwired” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Sent by signals. B. Fixed by design. C. Changed by surroundings. D. Programmed by computers. 15. How could Rajan’s research influence future AI systems? A. By strengthening Al sensory input systems. B. By enhancing individual Al processing speeds. C. By developing AI models with natural selection. D. By enabling AI teams to solve problems together. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了哈佛大学教授卡纳卡・拉詹以电鱼为研究对象，探索集体智能的相关研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“To Kanaka Rajan, a Harvard professor, these fish offer a new way to understand collective (集体的) intelligence, which means how individuals work together to achieve goals. (对哈佛大学教授卡纳卡·拉詹（Kanaka Rajan）来说，这些鱼提供了一种理解集体智力的新方法，集体智力指的是个体如何协同工作以实现目标。)”以及第二段“By studying these interactions, researchers can better understand the nature of cooperation and competition. (通过研究这些相互作用，研究人员可以更好地理解合作与竞争的本质。)”可知，Rajan研究的主要目的是研究群体合作方式。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One species Rajan’s team focuses on is the elephantnose fish, which uses electric pulses (脉冲) to communicate and find its way. Despite the simplicity of their communication, these fish display cooperative behaviors, such as guiding others to food sources. (Rajan的团队关注的一个物种是象鼻鱼，这种鱼利用电脉冲进行交流并找到自己的路。尽管它们的交流很简单，但这些鱼表现出合作行为，比如引导其他鱼找到食物来源。)”可知，象鼻鱼使用电信号进行团队合作，故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Rather, these behaviors slowly appear over many generations as the models are tested and changed. (相反，随着模型的测试和更改，这些行为会在许多代中慢慢出现。)”可知，合作和竞争的行为不是天生固定的，而是在多代的测试和变化中慢慢出现的。“hardwired”在这里表示“固定的，天生的”，与B选项“Fixed by design (设计固定的)”意思相符。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Principles of collective intelligence may play an important role in how individual AI systems interact and communicate. When these systems work together as a team, they show promise for faster, more complex, and more adaptable problem-solving in tech. (集体智慧的原则可能在单个人工智能系统如何交互和沟通方面发挥重要作用。当这些系统作为一个团队一起工作时，它们有望在技术上更快、更复杂、更适应性地解决问题。)”可推断，Rajan的研究通过使人工智能团队能够一起解决问题来影响未来的人工智能系统。故选D。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 Stair-climbing: A Good Way to Exercise If you are trying to lose weight, climbing stairs as a regular exercise might be for you. Research shows that stair-climbing is more effective than walking. ____16____. Even going down stairs, you burn around five times more because your muscles have to work to slow the body. Dr. Alberto Minetti of University of Milan in Italy has done a large amount of research on human movement, including stair-climbing. “____17____ ,” says VSI Minetti. He suggests that older people and beginner stair-climbers watch their speed. Minetti does his own stair-climbers at his home in Milan. He says he often takes a few deep breaths before going up many stairs. Trained as a doctor, Minetti has spent his career as a researcher, ____18____. The study notes that handrails (扶手) are available along most stairs in tall buildings. Using them increases the muscle involved by getting the arms involved, the study shows. “They are relatively small muscles s in the arms, but better than nothing,” Minetti says. “Handrails offer safety, too.” ____19____. If stair-climbing were an Olympic sport, Australian Suzy Walsham would win gold medals. She has won 10 races up New York City’s Empire State Building-officially 1,576 stairs—and five climbs up the Eiffel Tower, Overall, Walsham has won more than 100 international stair races. Walsham says that stair-climbing is a good form of exercise for many kinds of people. “Many people struggle to run as they age, and the exercise is too hard on the joints,” she says. “____20____.” A. So stair-climbing is a great replacement B. You can lose weight gradually by climbing stairs C. Researchers have divided opinions on the exercise D. There is another one who is in favor of this kind of sport E. Stair-climbing is an exercise everyone can do and doesn’t cost money F. In a study, he points out that using arms in stair-climbing adds extra power G. You burn about 20 times more calories by going up stairs than walking on flat ground 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. F 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了爬楼梯作为一种锻炼方式的好处，包括其减肥效果、对老年人和初学者的建议、使用扶手的作用，以及通过一位爬楼梯运动员的例子来说明爬楼梯对不同人群的适用性。 【16题详解】 空前“Research shows that stair-climbing is more effective than walking.(研究表明，爬楼梯比步行更有效。)”提到爬楼梯比步行更有效；而空后“Even going down stairs, you burn around five times more because your muscles have to work to slow the body.(即使是下楼梯，你燃烧的热量也约为步行的5倍，因为肌肉需要发力来减缓身体下落的速度。)”进一步说明下楼梯也能燃烧更多热量。选项G“You burn about 20 times more calories by going up stairs than walking on flat ground (你上楼梯燃烧的热量约为平地步行的20倍。)”通过具体数据衔接上下文，解释更有效的原因，逻辑连贯。故选G。 【17题详解】 空后“He suggests that older people and beginner stair-climbers watch their speed.(他建议老年人和爬楼梯初学者注意速度。)”提到Minetti 建议老年人和初学者注意速度，暗示爬楼梯适合不同人群。选项E“Stair-climbing is an exercise everyone can do and doesn’t cost money (爬楼梯是人人都能做且不花钱的运动)”概括了其普及性和低成本特点，与后文“适合不同人群”的建议形成呼应。故选E。 【18题详解】 空后“The study notes that handrails (扶手) are available along most stairs in tall buildings. Using them increases the muscle involved by getting the arms involved, the study shows.

My fingers trembled as I held the paintbrush. “Remember, class,” Mrs. Larson’s voice echoed in my mind, “your final project should reflect your personal journey this semester.” I swallowed hard. Three months ago, I wouldn’t have dared to set foot in this room. Art had always been Mia’s territory (领地) — my best friend since third grade who could make magic happen with just a pencil and paper. It all started on that rainy September afternoon in the library when I was drawing on my math notebook. Mia had picked it up before I could stop her. “Amazing, Lily!” she said, her green eyes wide with genuine excitement. “The way you play with negative space (留白) ... you have to join art club!” Now, as I looked at the pile of failed attempts beside me — a sunset that looked like a traffic light. I wondered if I’d made a terrible mistake. The Spring Art Exhibition was just two days away, and my confidence was fading faster than the cheap watercolors on my practice sheets. A soft knock stopped my thoughts. Mia popped her head in. “Still here?” She slid into the seat beside me, eyeing my latest failure. “You’re overthinking it,” she said gently. “Art isn’t about perfection. It’s about...” “Expression, I know,” I finished for her, sighing. But how could I express what I didn’t even understand myself? The bell rang, signaling the end of after-school hours. Mia hesitated at the door. “Just...try painting how you feel, not what you see.”As her footsteps faded down the hallway, I turned back to the blank canvas. For the first time, I noticed how the afternoon sun streaming through the windows made the white surface shine like fresh snow. Taking a deep breath, I reached for the black paint. 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。 Paragraph 1: The clock struck midnight as I finally stepped back from the painting stand. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Two days later, I was surprised to see so many people gathering around my work at the exhibition. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One Possible Version: Paragraph 1: The clock struck midnight as I finally stepped back from the painting stand. Before me stood a not technically perfect painting, but something far more honest — a cloud of dark blues and grays gradually giving way to warm yellows and oranges. In the center, a small but determined figure emerged, her outline formed by the negative space Mia always praised me for noticing. My hands, now covered with every color on the board, trembled not from nervousness but from the genuine emotion I’d poured onto that canvas. For the first time, I understood what Mrs. Larson meant by “personal journey.” Paragraph 2: Two days later, I was surprised to see so many people gathering around my work at the exhibition. A freshman girl pointed excitedly, “It’s like watching sunrise after a storm!” Mrs. Larson nodded thoughtfully, murmuring something about “authentic emotional expression” to the principal. Then I noticed Mia in the back, wiping her eyes while giving me two thumbs up. At that moment, surrounded by murmurs of appreciation, I realized art wasn’t about being the best — it was about finding the courage to share your unique perspective with the world. And maybe, just maybe, that was a lesson that applied to more than just painting. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述作者面对期末美术作业的空白画布心生畏惧，想起曾因好友米娅鼓励加入美术社，又看着身旁失败习作更失信心。米娅临走前建议她画感受而非所见，最终作者决定尝试，展现其在艺术学习中的挣扎与微小突破。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段内容“午夜钟声敲响时，我终于从画架前退开。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：午夜作者完成画作，虽技法不完美却真挚，她也终于理解“个人成长历程”的含义。 ②由第二段首句内容“两天后，展览上看到好多人围在我的作品旁，我十分惊讶。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：展览上作者作品获关注与好评，米娅为她感动，她也领悟艺术真谛及此感悟的更广意义。 2.续写线索：完成画作——理解“个人成长历程”的含义——作品获关注与好评——米娅为作者感动——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.出现：emerge/appear/turn up ②.颤抖：tremble/shake ③.说悄悄话：murmur/whisper 情绪类 ①.焦虑： nervousness/anxiety ②.兴奋地：excitedly/zealously/enthusiastically 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the changed atmosphere since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come running up with things they have made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change.” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. 4. What change does Farr bring to her school? A. Additional income. B. Flexible environments. C. Upgraded equipment. D. Diverse outdoor games. 5. What is the main reason for Farr to introduce play-based learning? A. To reduce teacher’s workload． B. To enhance the school’s reputation. C. To improve students’ academic results. D. To promote kids’ well-being and growth. 6. Which best describes the students with the new seating arrangement? A. More focused. B. More energetic. C. More self-centred． D. More courageous. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Farr’s approach? A. Its theory. B. Its challenge. C. Its purpose. D. Its effectiveness. C A new study has found human feelings can accurately be expressed numerically and have more predictive power for how we behave than formal studies of socioeconomic factors like household income and employment status. The study co-author Andrew Oswald, a professor of economics and behavioral science gathered information from nearly 700,000 people, who were asked annually over a three-decade period how they felt on a numerical scale about their job, spouse, health and home. Using the data collected, researchers constructed statistical models to show how people felt and the actions they took as a result of their reported feelings. The study found that ratings of life satisfaction had a direct linear (线性的) relationship to actions people subsequently take. Participants who rated their job satisfaction as a 2 out of 7 had a 25% probability of quitting their job. Those who rated a 6 out of 7 had only a 10 percent probability of quitting. The same was true across other measures like marriage, health and housing. Previous research has also shown data about feelings predict human outcomes, but not in such a linear fashion; the degree of satisfaction served as a good predictor of future actions. Additionally, economists have previously been critical of feelings data because they considered them unscientific and unreliable. But this study shows socioeconomic factors have a lesser probability of predicting human behavior than data on feelings. Though the study shows numbers can quantify feelings, researchers are still a bit confused as to why estimates of seemingly subjective feelings can be such good predictors of future actions. According to Oswald, a number of factors could be at play. Humans are very experienced in comparative thinking and are able to scale their own life satisfaction against that of their neighbors. We’re also accustomed to using measuring devices for other aspects of life like temperature, distance and weight, so it shouldn’t be too surprising that we’re able to measure our feelings in a similarly accurate way. Another study co-author Caspar Kaiser says that it may also be because we communicate our feelings and do it in a scaled fashion every day. This could be why it comes out in the data more accurately than in objective markers. Ori Heffetz, an economics professor who was not involved in the study, says that this research shows feelings data shouldn’t be underestimated even if they’re more difficult to study. “Scientists who ignore this do so at their own risk,” he says. Looking ahead, Kaiser hopes this same data can be studied in lower-income countries so that it can be applied universally to places with varied levels of economic development. But more than anything else he’s interested in studying why feelings work so well. 8. Paragraph 2 is mainly about . A. research process and findings B. research topic and significance C. research subjects and purpose D. research data collection and analysis 9. What can we know about the study? A. It also applies to people from lower-income countries. B. It challenges the opinion that feelings data are unreliable. C. It explains why ratings of feelings can foresee future actions. D. It first shows data about feelings can predict human behavior 10. What is Ori’s attitude towards the study? A. Neutral. B. Skeptical. C. Supportive. D. Cautious. 11. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. How You Rate Your Life Predicts Your Future Behavior B. Feelings Forecast Actions Better than Economic Factors C. Why Your Feelings Affect Your Future Actions D. Ranking Every Aspect of Your Life Counts D Electric fish are interesting creatures that “see” their world and each other by sensing — and generating their own — electric fields. To Kanaka Rajan, a Harvard professor, these fish offer a new way to understand collective (集体的) intelligence, which means how individuals work together to achieve goals. She also believes that their special ability can inspire research in Neuro (神经) AI, a new area that studies how both living things and machines sense the world and process information. One species Rajan’s team focuses on is the elephantnose fish, which uses electric pulses (脉冲) to communicate and find its way. Despite the simplicity of their communication, these fish display cooperative behaviors, such as guiding others to food sources. By studying these interactions, researchers can better understand the nature of cooperation and competition. These insights are crucial for developing more adaptive artificial intelligence systems which can work together to solve complex problems. To further explore these ideas, Rajan’s team uses artificial models that act like elephantnose fish. These models allow them to experiment with different factors, like food availability, to see how cooperative and competing behaviors emerge in different contexts. Their research suggests that the availability of food influences how the fish interact with one another. Less reliable food sources lead to more competitive behaviors. Cooperation and competition aren’t hardwired into these artificial models. Rather, these behaviors slowly appear over many generations as the models are tested and changed. Rajan’s research bridges biology and technology, showing how natural systems can inspire new advances in artificial intelligence. Principles of collective intelligence may play an important role in how individual AI systems interact and communicate. When these systems work together as a team, they show promise for faster, more complex, and more adaptable problem-solving in tech.

My fingers trembled as I held the paintbrush. “Remember, class,” Mrs. Larson’s voice echoed in my mind, “your final project should reflect your personal journey this semester.” I swallowed hard. Three months ago, I wouldn’t have dared to set foot in this room. Art had always been Mia’s territory (领地) — my best friend since third grade who could make magic happen with just a pencil and paper. It all started on that rainy September afternoon in the library when I was drawing on my math notebook. Mia had picked it up before I could stop her. “Amazing, Lily!” she said, her green eyes wide with genuine excitement. “The way you play with negative space (留白) ... you have to join art club!” Now, as I looked at the pile of failed attempts beside me — a sunset that looked like a traffic light. I wondered if I’d made a terrible mistake. The Spring Art Exhibition was just two days away, and my confidence was fading faster than the cheap watercolors on my practice sheets. A soft knock stopped my thoughts. Mia popped her head in. “Still here?” She slid into the seat beside me, eyeing my latest failure. “You’re overthinking it,” she said gently. “Art isn’t about perfection. It’s about...” “Expression, I know,” I finished for her, sighing. But how could I express what I didn’t even understand myself? The bell rang, signaling the end of after-school hours. Mia hesitated at the door. “Just...try painting how you feel, not what you see.”As her footsteps faded down the hallway, I turned back to the blank canvas. For the first time, I noticed how the afternoon sun streaming through the windows made the white surface shine like fresh snow. Taking a deep breath, I reached for the black paint. 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。 Paragraph 1: The clock struck midnight as I finally stepped back from the painting stand. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Two days later, I was surprised to see so many people gathering around my work at the exhibition. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
