He had worked in the film industry for 30 years, but he gradually got tired of his job. "I thought things would only get worse and worse," he said. Brown knew he had to do something else—but what? A few years earlier, he had bought the house where he lived as a child and moved back in. Brown was originally thinking about making gardening his second career when another voice spoke to him deep inside. "All these years, that little boy who used to love drawing has been whispering softly in my heart," he said. A longing that he had never paid much attention to was awakened. There was a huge oak tree(橡树) near Brown’s home. When he was a child, the tree seemed like a magical giant to him—it was a precious home for birds, insects and animals, and there was even a hole inside it. "We used to squeeze through this hole to play in the tree," he recalled. He decided to lock himself away for two months to draw every beautiful detail of the tree. "When I was drawing," he said, "there were moments when it felt like the tree was drawing itself. I spent so much time playing in it when I was young. I could feel it—it had been deeply rooted in my heart for a long time." The finished drawing of the oak tree was full of "real power," he said. "The closer you look at it, the more lifelike it seems." And just like that, Brown became a tree portraitist. In the following years, he traveled all over Britain. With the help of the Ancient Tree Forum, the Tree Council and the Woodland Trust, he chose some special trees and spent several days observing and drawing each one. Brown has started working on a series of 20 drawings featuring Britain’s most important ash trees. "These beautiful old ash trees will soon disappear from us," he said. "They are 350 years old, but they are dying because of a disease that we humans have spread." "Drawing is not only an act of care, but also a call for people to protect trees," Brown explained. "It also allows me to combine my love for nature with my creativity." It has also given him a new perspective on the passing of time. "I am already an old man, but I am only 71 years old. Some of the trees I have drawn are 1,000 years old. When I am with these trees and drawing them, I think about the end of my own life and how short human life is—passing by in a moment beneath these ancient trees." 24. What did Brown do at the age of 57? A. He moved into his old house. B. He found back his love for drawing from childhood. C.He had the best time of his life. D. He developed a passion for gardening. 25. What can we learn about the oak tree and Brown? A. It helped him start a new career. B. It linked him with the world. C. He built a tree house in it. D. He studied birds, insects and animals in it. 26. What is Brown working on? A. Setting up tree groups. B. Trying to find ways to cure sick trees. C. Drawing trees to ask people to protect them. D. Traveling around Britain to pick important trees. 27. What does he feel when Brown is with trees? A. Time is endless. B. Human life is short. C. Nature is always changing. D.Life-long learning is crucial Ｃ Come up with a password that’s at least 10 characters long. It should include numbers, at least one symbol, and—just to be safe—be something you’ll remember, of course. Yes, passwords are annoying, but their days are numbered: passkeys are here to make passwords obsolete. With passkeys, you don’t have to remember or make up anything. When you sign up for a website or app, your phone or computer creates two linked keys: a public key and a private key. The public key is kept on the website’s or app’s servers. The private key—a long string of letters and numbers—is only saved on your device. When you log in, the website’s server sends a "check" to your device. Your device uses the private key to create a unique "signature" as proof. Then you use your PIN, fingerprint, or face scan to unlock your device and approve this signature. The server then matches your signature with your public key to let you in. Your private key is safe because no one can get it from the public key. Because passkeys are made for one specific website or app, they won’t work on fake sites (like ones that look like your bank’s site and try to steal your password). Passkeys also can’t be tricked by scammers who lie to get your info—since you don’t even know the passkey yourself; only your device does. Even though passkeys are one of the safest solutions ever, Jonathan S. Weissman, a cybersecurity（网络安全） expert from the Rochester Institute of Technology, says many people will keep using passwords because they’re used to them. Andrew Shikiar, director of the FIDO Alliance (an organization working on fast online identity checks), agrees that people hate change—but he thinks consumers will finally get used to this new technology. "Someday, we’ll look back at passwords the way we now look at old dial phones," he predicts. 28. What does the underlined word "obsolete" in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Out of trouble. B. Out of reach. C. Out of hand. D. Out of date. 29. What is the second paragraph mainly talking about concerning passkeys? A. What they are made of. B. How they work. C. What special features they have. D. Its Where they can be used. 30. What can be inferred about passkeys from Paragraphs 3 and 4? A. They can’t be tricked by fake sites. B. They are saved by certain apps. C. They became popular right away. D. They change by themselves to stay safe. 31. What attitude does Shikiar have towards the prospect of passkeys? A. Doubtful. B. Cautious. C. Optimistic. D. Dismissive.（不屑一顾的） Ｄ Power often makes employees more creative because being powerful frees them from rules and limits. However, new research shows that employees without much power can become more creative too—if they get time to "warm up" to a creative task by doing it more than once. "This is important," said Brian Lucas, an assistant professor at Cornell University. "When more powerful people can share creative ideas more easily than less powerful ones, it creates a 'rich-get-richer' situation. This makes the gap between powerful and less powerful workers even bigger. So finding ways to boost（推动） less powerful workers’ creativity can help fix this unfair disadvantage," Lucas explained. Lucas and his team did two studies to prove their point. In the first study, they split the creative task into two rounds: a 1-minute "warm-up" round, followed by a second round where participants could take as long as they wanted. The researchers randomly put people into two groups: a "high-power" group and a "low-power" group. To make people feel powerful or not, they gave different roles: those in the high-power group got a leadership role (with control over resources), while those in the low-power group got an ordinary employee role (with no control over resources). The study found that high-power people were more creative in the warm-up round. But in the second round, both groups were equally creative. In the second study, the researchers used a different creative task and increased the number of rounds from two to five. Participants could take as much time as they liked for each round. Just like the first study, high-power people were more creative in the first round. But after that, less powerful people’s creativity caught up to the high-power group’s. "The 'warm-up effect' for less powerful workers gives a simple solution," Lucas said. "It helps all employees use their creative potential and reduces unfair power gaps at work: when people do creative tasks, let them warm up first." 32. Why does Lucas think it important to boost the creativity of lower power workers? A. It maintains power imbalances. B. It makes them want to catch up. C. It creates a competitive work environment. D. It helps make the workplace fairer. 33. How did researchers make people feel powerful in the first study? A. By offering different rewards. B. By giving different roles. C. By setting different time limits. D. By giving different creative tasks. 34. What is the difference between the two studies? A. The number of participants. B. The way of giving roles. C. The type of creative tasks. D. The time length of each round. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Power makes employees much more creative. B. Less powerful workers are less creative at first. C. Warm-up time fixes the unfair creativity gap caused by power. D. Power gaps at work affect how creative employees are. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两处为多余选项。 Today, we have an always-in-your-pocket, 24/7 news cycle. When you open a news app, you’ll notice a brief moment when the "old news” is still there. In a flash, the ancient history of a few hours ago is swept away for the next "breaking news”. 36. ______ It’s endless, but you had better keep up. Researchers refer to this world with the phrase "noise bottleneck”(信息噪音瓶颈). A noise bottleneck is a situation where we are overwhelmed with so much information, or noise, that our cognitive abilities can’t keep up. 37. ______ Thus, while our attention can handle hours of videos, our long-term learning processes cannot. 38.______ We watch TV while holding our phones, and we listen to music when shopping. However, the human brain may have structural limits rooted in its cognitive architecture, which cause a slowdown when two tasks are done at the same time. In short, your brain is not as good as you think it is. You are a human being who can only take in so much in a day. Understanding the noise bottleneck allows us to fix it. So, here are three tips to get you started: Clear your content—create a new social media account and follow only the accounts or people you find really valuable. Single-task—you don’t need to get rid of your phone, but do get rid of distractions. 39. ______ For example, say, "I will only read this magazine after dinner.” Multitasking is for show; single-tasking is for those who are serious about getting things done. Accept your limits—you’ll never read all the news. Accept that you can only choose two or three stories and embrace that fact. 40. ______ You’re getting more out of those few than that "super-productive” person on social media who claims to read five books a week. After all, it’s better to remember a little than to forget a lot. A. Give yourself a time limit or restriction if it helps. B. Every second, new information is presented to you. C. Don’t be hard on yourself for not being productive. D. Breaking through the noise bottleneck is a legendary idea. E. The matter is made worse by our modern addiction to multitasking. F. Multitasking has greatly changed the way we use information. G. Our brains have limited resources spread across many functions. 第三部分： 英语基础知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 一： 完型填空（共15 小题， 每小题 1 分，满分15分） Eli walked to school every day, a familiar routine that never failed to bring him a sense of peace.

Since 2011, the country has grown more corn 56 rice. Corn production has jumped nearly 125 percent over 57 past 25 years, while rice has increased only 7 percent. A taste for meat is 58 (actual) behind the change: An important part of its corn_____59_____(use) to feed chickens, pigs, and cattle. Another reason for corn's rise: The government encourages farmers to grow corn instead of rice 60 (improve) water quality. Corn uses less water than rice and creates less fertilizer(化肥) runoff. This switch has decreased 61 (pollute) in the country's major 62 (lake) and reservoirs and made drinking water safer for people. According to the World Bank, China accounts for about 30 percent of total 63 (globe) fertilizer consumption. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005 — when the government started a soil-testing program 64 gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers - and 2011, fertilizer use dropped 65 7.7 million tons. That prevented the emission(排放) of 51.8 million tons of carbon dioxide. China's approach to protecting its environment while feeding its citizens "offers useful lessons for agriculture and food policymakers worldwide." says the bank's Juergen Voegele.第四部分： 写作 （共两节， 满分 40分 ） 第一节（满分15分） 你校上周在学校礼堂举办了一次讲座,主题为"学校生活中时间管理的重要性”。请你给学校英文报写一篇报道, 其中部分表述句型已提供，可以自行选择，内容包括: 1. 讲座的内容；(organize a lecture举办讲座; theme of...…… 的主题) 2. 学生的反响；(be met with enthusiasm受到热烈欢迎) 3. 你的收获。(learn that...了解到……；gain a deeper understanding of...对…… 有了更深的理解) 注意:写作词数应为80个左右。 A meaningful lecture _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文，续写的词数应为150左右。 I drew in a breath, let it out against the backseat window, and scratched the word AWFUL on the fogged glass. Dad glanced at me through the rearview mirror (后视镜)."Alex, this will be a nice opportunity for you to see your grandparents.” The car turned onto a familiar dirt road. We’re getting fartherfrom the city. Farther from Internet access. Farther from the computer camp. "Cheer up, Alex! There will be another computer camp soon,” said Mum. "Probably even this summer.” All my programming friends would be coding at the computer camp this week while I was stuck on the farm. I didn’t say a word. Finally, the car pulled into Granny and Granddad’s driveway. A thin line of trees came into sight. I liked visiting the farm on spring breaks before I started doing coding camps...and before I knew how badly I could mess things up. The car engine wasn’t off when Granny bounded（跳跃着跑） towards us. I watched from the backseat as Dad and Mum hugged Granny. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. Gravity seemed abnormally strong. "You two deserve a vacation,” Granny was saying. "Alex will be fine—he loves being on the farm.” She meant loved. Alex loved being on the farm. During lunch Granny asked, "Why so sad, Alex?” I kept silent. Why? They were really acting as if nothing had happened during my last visit. For a second, my eyes caught Granny’s. Could I ask her if her goats had destroyed all her next-door neighbour, Mr Jackson’s flowers because I lifted the latch（门闩） and let out the goats? Was Mr Jackson still angry with me for having brought him such a great loss? "I’m fine,” I mumbled（咕哝）, "just missing the coding camp this week. Coding’s just something I’m good at.” Mummy nodded. "Ah, that sounds disappointing, but the farm will bring you something different.” 注意:续写词数应为150个左右。 After lunch, I was on my way when, out of nowhere, there’s Mr Jackson. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Instead, Mr Jackson yelled, "Great to see you here, Alex! I need your help with a lamb’s（羔羊） birth.” _______________________________________________________________________________________ 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
