D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了昆虫学家格林特投身加州物种普查，着重标本并提倡合作，致力保护生物多样性的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Grinter’s fascination began far from California. Growing up in suburban Chicago, he watched butterflies dance through his backyard and wanted to know their names. “It all started with butterflies,” he says. His parents took him to a members’ night at the Field Museum, where he saw an insect collection for the first time. “I had my mind blown.” He began volunteering there, labeling and databasing specimens, and eventually started his career in the field.(格林特对昆虫的痴迷始于远离加利福尼亚的地方。在芝加哥郊区长大的他，看着蝴蝶在自家后院翩翩起舞，便想弄清楚它们的名字。“这一切都是从蝴蝶开始的，”他说。他的父母带他去菲尔德博物馆参加会员之夜，那是他第一次见到昆虫标本馆。“我被震撼到了。”他开始在那里做志愿者，给标本贴标签并录入数据库，最终开启了自己的职业生涯)”可知，文章第二段讲述了Grinter童年对蝴蝶的好奇，在博物馆接触昆虫标本的经历以及后续在博物馆志愿工作，最终开启昆虫研究职业生涯的完整脉络。因此，提及童年经历，是解释他从事该领域研究的职业根源。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“When CalATBI started, Grinter’s team collected hundreds of thousands of insects, covering tens of thousands of miles. Their fieldwork was unlike anything seen in a generation.(当CalATBI项目启动时，格林特的团队采集了数十万只昆虫，行程达数万公里。他们的实地考察工作堪称是这一代人所未曾见过的全新形式)”可知，团队开展了大范围、高强度的野外工作。故选C。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“Still, Grinter insists that data alone is not enough. “The next key step is to collect and keep specimens in a proper way, which makes scientific research possible.” Museums, he says, are like “storehouses of life” — they keep scientific evidence safe over time and ensure that experiments can be repeated and confirmed.(不过，格林特坚持认为，仅有数据是不够的。“接下来的关键步骤是采用恰当的方式收集并保存样本，这才使得科学研究成为可能。”他说，博物馆就像“生命的仓库”——它们能长期妥善保存科学证据，并确保实验能够被重复和验证)”可知，第五段核心句为Grinter 的观点“数据本身远远不够，下一步关键是用正确的方式收集和保存标本，这才让科学研究成为可能”，后续补充了博物馆作为标本储存库的价值，全段围绕“保存标本的重要性”展开。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。全文讲述了Grinter因童年对昆虫的好奇心，逐步深耕生物多样性研究领域，最终取得专业成就的故事，“Curiosity is the mother of success.(好奇心是成功之母)”符合题意。故选D。 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了承认自己状态良好是一种情感力量及其重要性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As a result, expressions of personal stability can be misunderstood as indifference or privilege, making people hesitate to share their neutral or positive wellbeing.(因此，个人稳定的表达可能会被误解为冷漠或特权，使人们犹豫是否要分享他们的中性或积极的幸福感)”可知，人们担心说“我很好”会显示出缺乏关心。故选D。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中 “It acts as an emotional bulwark, allowing individuals to navigate the waves of collective stress without being overwhelmed.(它充当着一种情感bulwark，使人们能够在集体压力的浪潮中应对自如而不被压垮)”可知，bulwark在这里表示能抵御压力的“支撑，屏障，支持”，A. Measurement.测量；B. Barrier.屏障；C. Support.支持；D. Pressure.压力。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence.(因此，培养并承认这种 “quietly okayness（平静的安好）” 是一种情绪复原力。它包括这些做法：状态真的好时诚实回答、重视危机与亢奋之间稳定的中间地带、允许自己不带愧疚地心怀感恩，以及通过专注的陪伴把平静传递给他人)”可知，当你真正感觉良好时告诉朋友你很好，这样做最能说明“平静的安好”。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence. In challenging times, such steadiness becomes a quiet strength. By openly acknowledging our own periods of stability, we help normalize a full range of human emotions and create space for others to accept their own state without judgment. Ultimately, this honest sharing of wellbeing, one conversation at a time, contributes to building a more emotionally resilient community.(因此，培养并承认这种 “quietly okayness（平静的安好）” 是一种情绪复原力。它包括这些做法：状态真的好时诚实回答、重视危机与亢奋之间稳定的中间地带、允许自己不带愧疚地心怀感恩，以及通过专注的陪伴把平静传递给他人。在充满挑战的时期，这种稳定是一种无声的力量。坦然承认自己的安稳时刻，能让人类全部情绪变得正常化，并为他人创造不带评判地接纳自身状态的空间。最终，这种真诚地分享安好，一次对话一次对话地积累，将有助于建设一个情绪更有韧性的社群)”可知，文章主要论述了承认自己状态良好是一种情感力量及其重要性，故A选项“感觉良好的安静力量”最符合文章标题。故选A。 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现患者认为 AI 医疗回复比医生更有同理心，并给出相关数据。但未证实其能提升疗效，且研究未考虑社会文化差异，态度客观。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A surprising analysis of 15 studies reveals that patients perceive more warmth in AI-generated medical responses than in those from human doctors.(对15项研究的意外分析表明，患者在面对由人工智能生成的医疗回复时，感受到的温暖程度要高于从人类医生那里得到的回复)”可知，该分析的主要发现是患者认为人工智能给出的医疗回复更具同情心。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“ChatGPT and similar AI chatbots scored roughly 2 points higher than human healthcare professionals (HCPs) on 10-point empathy scales when responding to patient questions via text. AI had a 73% probability of being rated as more empathic than human practitioners in head-to-head comparisons. “In text-only scenarios, AI chatbots are frequently perceived as more empathic than human HCPs,” study authors wrote. The meta-analysis from the Universities of Nottingham and Leicester pooled data from 13 of the 15 studies comparing AI chatbots to doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers.(在通过文字回答患者问题时，ChatGPT和类似的AI聊天机器人在10分制的同理心评估量表上的得分比人类医疗专业人员（HCP）高出约2分。在一对一的对比测试中，AI被认为比人类从业者更具同理心的概率为73%。研究作者写道：“在纯文字情境下，AI聊天机器人通常被认为比人类医疗专业人员更具同理心。”诺丁汉大学和莱斯特大学的这项荟萃分析汇集了15项研究中13项将AI聊天机器人与医生、护士和其他医疗工作者进行比较的数据)”可知，第二段的主要目的是展示研究证据。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The studies couldn’t determine whether AI’s perceived empathy advantage translates to better health outcomes.(这些研究无法确定人工智能所具有的“同理心”优势是否能转化为更良好的健康结果)”可知，人工智能的同理心可能不会改善实际的临床效果。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While the results were strong, this study represents a broad perspective and does not account for differences in socio-cultural backgrounds among participants. Cultural differences can greatly influence how empathy is perceived and assessed.(虽然研究结果十分显著，但这项研究视角较为宽泛，并未考虑到参与者之间在社会文化背景方面的差异。文化差异会对同理心的感知和评估产生重大影响)”可知，作者对这些研究持客观态度。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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 【答案】36.

He rummaged through his old skateboards, selecting those with the most character—scratches, dents, and faded stickers. With trembling hands but a determined heart, he began carving the wood into abstract shapes, inspired by his skateboarding memories. As he sanded and painted each piece, he poured his emotions into the artwork, transforming worn-out boards into vibrant sculptures. To his delight, his creations quickly gained attention online, and orders started pouring in, filling him with a renewed sense of purpose. With the money he earned, Nick chose to give back. He donated a portion to Riseup, the organization that had supported him during his darkest days, hoping to help others facing similar struggles. He also used the funds to organize free carving workshops for patients in rehabilitation centers, sharing his story and skills to inspire them. Nick realized that though he could no longer ride a skateboard, he could still create and uplift others, turning his pain into a powerful force for good. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Nick热爱滑板运动，然而，他突然患上吉兰-巴雷综合征导致瘫痪，经历了长时间的治疗和康复过程，期间无法滑板让他深感沮丧。在当地非营利组织Riseup的帮助和鼓励下，Nick逐渐恢复了一些力量和行动能力。某天，他在浏览手工艺品网站时受到启发，决定将家中闲置的旧滑板板面改造成艺术品，以此保持与滑板运动的联系。志愿者们得知他的想法后，纷纷鼓励并表示愿意提供帮助。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Nick很快就开始进行试验了。”可知，第一段可描写Nick开始尝试将旧滑板改造成艺术品的过程，以及他的作品如何受到欢迎并给他带来新的生活目标。 ②由第二段首句内容“用挣来的钱，Nick决定回馈社会。”可知，第二段可描写Nick如何利用通过售卖滑板艺术品赚来的钱回馈社会，帮助他人。 2.续写线索：挑选滑板——雕刻滑板——作品获关注——接到订单——捐赠给Riseup——组织雕刻工作坊——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①挑选：select/handpick ②获得关注：gain attention/capture attention ③捐赠：donate/give away 情绪类 ①高兴：delight/joy ②痛苦：pain/suffering 【点睛】[高分句型1] As he sanded and painted each piece, he poured his emotions into the artwork, transforming worn-out boards into vibrant sculptures.

B Christopher C. Grinter has spent much of his life surrounded by insects, though not in the way most people imagine. His work helps support the California All-Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (CalATBI), an effort to document every species in the state before they disappear. Grinter’s fascination began far from California. Growing up in suburban Chicago, he watched butterflies dance through his backyard and wanted to know their names. “It all started with butterflies,” he says. His parents took him to a members’ night at the Field Museum, where he saw an insect collection for the first time. “I had my mind blown.” He began volunteering there, labeling and databasing specimens (标本), and eventually started his career in the field. When CalATBI started, Grinter’s team collected hundreds of thousands of insects, covering tens of thousands of miles. Their fieldwork was unlike anything seen in a generation. It produced scientific treasure and also the occasional misadventure — like the time their vehicle sank into Mojave Desert sand. They waited for rescue in 100-degree heat, but, as he recalls, “couldn’t stop the sampling.” Today, genetic sequencing (排序) is routine. “DNA barcoding as a technique isn’t on the cutting edge anymore, and in the best way — it has become routine,” Grinter says. His team integrates genomic (基因组的) analysis into specimen digitization, creating a DNA reference library for insects. Still, Grinter insists that data alone is not enough. “The next key step is to collect and keep specimens in a proper way, which makes scientific research possible.” Museums, he says, are like “storehouses of life” — they keep scientific evidence safe over time and ensure that experiments can be repeated and confirmed. What gives him hope are the people joining the effort. “Modern science doesn’t happen alone in basements,” he says. “It’s teams of people working and supporting each other.” For Grinter, that collaboration, and the interest that drives it, may be as vital to biodiversity as the species themselves. 24. Why is the author’s childhood experience mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To explain his career roots. B. To stress his family background. C. To show his early interest. D. To highlight the uniqueness of insects. 25. What did Grinter’s team do when CalATBI started? A. They visited special insect libraries. B. They sought broad recognition. C. They conducted extensive fieldwork. D. They learnt from contemporary scientists. 26. What is the main idea of paragraph 5? A. The cultural function of museums. B. The importance of storing specimens. C. Specimens’ safety problems. D. Research’s reliance on museums. 27. Which of the following is true of Grinter’s story? A. Practice makes perfect. B. A friend in need in a friend indeed. C. Every dog has its day. D. Curiosity is the mother of success. C We live in a world where conversations about mental health are becoming more common. Yet, while sharing struggles often receives understanding, admitting to feeling steady can sometimes feel uncomfortable. Why does saying “I’m doing well” often come with a hint of guilt, as if being okay is somehow inappropriate when others are not? This phenomenon is linked to what psychologists call upward emotional comparison. In our interconnected society, we constantly measure our own emotional state against the visible suffering of others. As a result, expressions of personal stability can be misunderstood as indifference or privilege, making people hesitate to share their neutral or positive wellbeing. The language of crisis feels more familiar and authentic than the language of calm. However, feeling okay is not emotional ignorance. Research in positive psychology suggests that emotions like calmness and contentment are not merely personal benefits. They serve a critical social function. Positive emotions can broaden our perspective, enhance problem-solving abilities, and build psychological resources. This inner steadiness, far from being selfish, actually increases our capacity for empathy and compassion. It acts as an emotional bulwark, allowing individuals to navigate the waves of collective stress without being overwhelmed. Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence. In challenging times, such steadiness becomes a quiet strength. By openly acknowledging our own periods of stability, we help normalize a full range of human emotions and create space for others to accept their own state without judgment. Ultimately, this honest sharing of wellbeing, one conversation at a time, contributes to building a more emotionally resilient community. 28. Why might people feel guilty saying “I’m doing well”? A. They feel they face a language crisis. B. They fear their luck won’t last long. C. They think sharing feelings is impolite. D. They worry it shows a lack of concern. 29. What does the underlined word “bulwark” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Measurement. B. Barrier. C. Support. D. Pressure. 30. Which of the following actions best illustrates “quiet okayness”? A. Sharing only anxieties to seek support. B. Encouraging others to feel constantly happy. C. Telling a friend you’re well when you truly are. D. Saying “I’m fine” quickly even if feeling stressed. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Quiet Strength of Feeling Okay B. Why We Should Only Share Our Struggles C. How Positive Psychology Builds Happiness D. The Problem of Upward Emotional Comparison D A surprising analysis of 15 studies reveals that patients perceive more warmth in AI-generated medical responses than in those from human doctors. The largest study examined 2,164 patient interactions, with similar patterns emerging across smaller datasets. The results, published in the British Medical Bulletin, challenge long-held assumptions about human connection in medicine and run counter to a 2019 UK government report that called empathy an “essential human skill that AI cannot replicate (复制).” ChatGPT and similar AI chatbots scored roughly 2 points higher than human healthcare professionals (HCPs) on 10-point empathy scales when responding to patient questions via text. AI had a 73% probability of being rated as more empathic than human practitioners in head-to-head comparisons. “In text-only scenarios, AI chatbots are frequently perceived as more empathic than human HCPs,” study authors wrote. The meta-analysis from the Universities of Nottingham and Leicester pooled data from 13 of the 15 studies comparing AI chatbots to doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers. Studies drawing from Reddit health forums and patient portals showed similar trends. Questions ranged from interpreting blood test results to managing chronic conditions to understanding cancer treatment options. Across this variety, AI responses were more likely to be rated as warm, understanding, and considerate of patient concerns. The studies couldn’t determine whether AI’s perceived empathy advantage translates to better health outcomes. While empathic communication has been linked to reduced patient pain and anxiety, improved medication adherence, and higher satisfaction with care, these studies measured perception rather than clinical impact. The findings suggest that empathetic AI can provide valuable support in healthcare fields, thereby enhancing the roles these technologies can play in our everyday lives. While the results were strong, this study represents a broad perspective and does not account for differences in socio-cultural backgrounds among participants. Cultural differences can greatly influence how empathy is perceived and assessed. Future work could look closely at how people from different backgrounds view empathetic responses in both humans and AI to enhance understanding in this area. 32. What is the main finding of the analysis? A. Empathy is a unique human skill beyond AI’s reach. B. Patients find AI’s medical replies more sympathetic. C. AI provides more effective treatment plans than humans. D. AI shows greater competence in routine patient inquiries. 33. What’s the primary purpose of paragraph 2? A. To present research evidence. B. To explain underlying causes. C. To predict future developments. D. To describe relevant background. 34. What can be implied from paragraph 3? A. AI’s empathy is irrelevant to patient satisfaction. B. AI’s empathy may not improve actual clinical outcomes. C. AI’s assistance is widely applied across different patient groups. D. AI’s empathy can directly lead to better health conditions of patients. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the studies? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Objective. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The number of cars on UK roads is growing. Finding places for people to park their vehicles is often difficult. Problems include old, narrow roads with no parking bays; the increasing size of cars such as SUVs (cars that are generally bigger and taller than a standard car); and families often having more than one vehicle. ____36____ Therefore, some people have turned to parking their cars on the pavement (人行道). ____37____ It is designed as a dedicated zone for pedestrians (行人), allowing individuals to travel to school, work, or shops.

Skateboarding had always been his favorite sport and lifelong passion, and his love of skating helped him build a community where he truly belonged. Everything changed one day when Nick was suddenly paralysed (瘫痪的) by Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a rare condition where the nervous system got attacked. What started as a sore muscle in his leg quickly turned into a medical emergency. He spent 13 weeks in intensive care at a hospital and seven months in recovery. Everything that once felt natural had to be learned all over again, like moving, standing, or even lifting his hands. Being unable to skateboard during this long recovery left Nick deeply frustrated. Suddenly losing that part of himself made the days feel heavier. Learning about his struggle, Riseup, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people rebuild their lives after illness, began checking in on him regularly. Volunteers brought updates from the skate scene, shared small stories to keep his spirits up, and guided him through exercises to regain strength and mobility. Their steady presence gave him the courage to recover with determination and he was slowly recovering some of his strength and mobility. One quiet afternoon, while trying to distract (分心) himself, Nick explored Etsy, an online marketplace for handmade goods and noticed that many people were selling wooden sculptures they had carved themselves. Their colorful shapes caught his attention and awakened something inside him. With his old wooden boards piled in a corner at home and his desire to stay connected to skateboarding still strong, he suddenly imagined turning those worn-out boards into artwork. The volunteers, aware of his new idea, encouraged, “Go for it! Those boards have stories; make something out of them. And we’ ll be here to help.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Nick soon started experimenting. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ With the money he earned, Nick chose to give back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
