A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章推荐了四个令人愉悦的去处，包括农场、酒店、庄园和花园，帮助人们摆脱忙碌与压力，享受美好时光。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When daily chores and stress make life dull, there are always beautiful little joys and unique experiences to discover around us. Here, we’ve gathered some lovely finds for you, hoping you’ll pause from the hustle and enjoy these wonderful moments that brighten life.(当日常琐事和压力让生活变得乏味时，我们身边总有美好的小乐趣和独特的体验等待发现。在这里，我们为你收集了一些美好的去处，希望你能停下忙碌，享受这些点亮生活的美好瞬间)”可知，本文目的是推荐令人愉悦的短途度假地。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Four Seasons Hotel标题下“To mark the arrival of summer, Four Seasons Hotel has opened its seasonal patio. With a new menu and annual mural installation, it shows respect for the French Riviera and Mediterranean coastline. The mural is created by Victoria Sequeira, who says, “I want to spark a visual journey for guests — one full of warmth, peace and a touch of Mediterranean magic.”(为了迎接夏天的到来，四季酒店开放了季节性露台。凭借新菜单和年度壁画装置，它向法国里维埃拉和地中海海岸线致敬。这幅壁画由维多利亚・塞克拉创作，她说：“我想为客人开启一段视觉之旅 —— 一段充满温暖、宁静和一丝地中海魅力的旅程。”)”可知，如果你是壁画爱好者，可以选择四季酒店。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Copperwood Trail标题下“This peaceful family farm is committed to providing a safe, quiet rural escape for all visitors eager for close contact with animals and nature.(这个宁静的家庭农场致力于为所有渴望与动物和自然亲密接触的游客提供一个安全、安静的乡村避风港。)”和Green Hill Gardens标题下“Tucked away in the quiet countryside, the family-run Green Hill Gardens has a decades-long history.(坐落在宁静的乡村，家族经营的青山花园有着数十年的历史)”可知，两者的共同点是都由家族经营管理。故选A项。 B Terri Bolton is a dab hand when it comes to DIY (do-it-yourself). Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself. She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derek Lloyd. From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her school holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money. She says: “I’m sure I wasn’t much of a help to start with. But when Derek built our family house about eight years ago, I was heavily involved, painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and it was back-breaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills.” Terri, who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth, South West London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit when a tenancy (租期) comes to an end. She adds: “I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalize my room and put up pictures. So, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out.” With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over the coming weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done. The average spend per project will be around £823. Two thirds of people aim to improve their comfort while at home. A fifth wish to increase the value of their houses. Though DIY has traditionally been seen as a male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge. 4. Which is closest in meaning to “a dab hand” in paragraph 1? A. A realist. B. A specialist. C. An engineer. D. A pioneer. 5. Why did Terri’s grandfather give her £5 a day? A. For a birthday gift. B. As a reward for her work. C. To support her DIY projects. D. To encourage her to take up a hobby. 6. How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented? A. By making it look like before. B. By furnishing it herself. C. By splitting the rent with a roommate. D. By canceling the rental agreement. 7. What trend in DIY does the research show? A. It is becoming more costly. B. It is getting more time-consuming. C. It is gaining popularity among females. D. It is turning into a seasonal industry. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了Terri从小习得DIY本领并借此租房时保住押金，同时最新研究显示如今女性正成为DIY的主力军。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself. (她擅长安装架子和组装家具，从不花钱请别人做她自己能做的工作)”可知，Terri在DIY方面非常熟练，是一位能手，因此a dab hand意为“能手，内行”，与specialist意思最接近。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her school holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money. (从六岁起，现已26岁的Terri在学校假期期间陪伴Derek去工作。一天的工作会得到5英镑零花钱作为奖励)”可知，祖父每天给她5英镑是作为她工作的报酬。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalize my room and put up pictures. So, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out. (我搬过很多次家，我总是喜欢把房间个性化并贴上照片。所以，知道如何掩盖洞和重新粉刷房间以避免我搬出去时产生任何费用是很有用的)”可知，她通过重新粉刷、遮盖孔洞等方式让房间恢复原貌，从而避免扣除押金。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though DIY has traditionally been seen as a male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge. (尽管DIY传统上被视为男性的爱好，但研究表明，现在是女性在引领这一潮流)”可知，研究显示DIY在女性中越来越受欢迎，女性正成为主力。 C Brands have spent years perfecting video marketing strategies. Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people, according to research from video creation platform Animoto. That preference holds as AI video tools flood the market and brands race to create more content faster. The finding comes from Animoto’s State of Video 2026 report, based on a survey of 460 American consumers and marketers. As AI generates full videos from text prompts (提示), the truth remains: People still want to see other people. The preference for human faces isn’t just about aesthetics (美学). More than 82% of consumers report watching videos that they believe were AI-generated, and among that group, 36% say it lowers their trust in the brand behind it. This creates a problem with the numbers for marketers. Even if AI tools can help produce videos faster, the resulting content may raise doubt that destroys the entire purpose of making the video in the first place. Separate research cited in the report found that 88% of consumers consider brand trust as important as price and quality when making purchases. Three-quarters of US adults think it’s extremely or very important to know whether images, videos, or text were created by AI or people. This trust loss appears regardless of whether audiences correctly identify AI content. The survey showed that consumers believe they can spot AI-generated videos based on “an entire set of signals” and contextual mismatches, according to respondent Olga Mirkovic. Whether they’re right doesn’t matter. Perception alone affects how they view the brand. Surveyed marketing professionals aren’t trying to remove humans from their videos. Despite pressure to produce more content faster, marketers still want control over which footage to use, how to present their brand voice, and when to put themselves on camera. Roya Safarian, a survey respondent, explained the balance: “AI can enhance storytelling as long as the brand still keeps a human touch. The key is balance: Technology should support the message, not replace the genuine voice behind it.” 8. What is the most effective trust-building video marketing strategy? A. Making videos featuring real people. B. Using AI to generate videos quickly. C. Updating video production fashion. D. Producing true video content faster. 9. In what circumstances does the trust loss occur? A. When video aesthetics are poor. B. When video production speeds up. C. When AI content is perceived. D. When brand trust is compared to price. 10. What do marketing professionals suggest AI be used for in video-making? A. Generating videos automatically. B. Aiding in content creation as a tool. C. Controlling brand voice directly. D. Replacing human presenters entirely. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Contrasting AI and Human-made Videos B. Building Consumer Trust with AI Videos C. Facing Trust Crisis in AI-generated Videos D. Balancing Technology and Humanity in Videos 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文探讨了视频营销策略。研究发现，消费者更信任包含真人的视频，AI生成的内容可能会降低品牌信任度。因此，营销专家主张平衡技术与人性，让AI辅助而非取代真人，从而保持品牌真实感并建立信任。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people (近78%的消费者相信真人拍摄的视频)”以及“As AI generates full videos from text prompts (提示), the truth remains: People still want to see other people. (虽然人工智能可以根据文本提示生成完整的视频，但事实仍然是：人们仍然希望看到其他人。)”可知，消费者依然信任并希望看到视频中有真人出现。由此可知，建立信任最有效的视频营销策略是制作以真实人物为特色的视频。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This trust loss appears regardless of whether audiences correctly identify AI content. (无论观众是否正确识别人工智能内容，这种信任损失都会出现。)”以及“Perception alone affects how they view the brand. (感知本身就会影响他们对品牌的看法。)”可知，无论观众是否正确识别出AI内容，只要感知到内容是AI生成的，信任缺失就会发生。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Roya Safarian, a survey respondent, explained the balance: “AI can enhance storytelling as long as the brand still keeps a human touch. The key is balance: Technology should support the message, not replace the genuine voice behind it.” (调查受访者罗亚·萨法里安（Roya Safarian）解释了这种平衡：“只要品牌仍然保持人情味，人工智能就可以增强故事情节。关键在于平衡：技术应该支持信息，而不是取代信息背后真实的声音。”)”可知，营销专业人士认为AI应该作为辅助工具来增强叙事效果或支持信息传达，而不是替代人类或直接控制品牌声音。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开头“Brands have spent years perfecting video marketing strategies. Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people, according to research from video creation platform Animoto. That preference holds as AI video tools flood the market and brands race to create more content faster.(品牌花了数年时间完善视频营销策略。根据视频创作平台Animoto的研究，近78%的消费者信任真人制作的视频。随着人工智能视频工具充斥市场，各品牌竞相以更快的速度创造更多内容，这种偏好依然存在。)”指出尽管AI视频工具普及，但人们仍偏爱真人视频以建立信任；第二、三段论述了AI内容可能会导致信任缺失；最后一段指出营销专业人士希望在利用AI技术提高效率的同时，保留人文关怀，强调技术应支持而非替代人类。因此，文章主要讨论了在视频制作中如何在技术（AI）和人性（真人）之间取得平衡。D项“Balancing Technology and Humanity in Videos (在视频创作中平衡科技与人性)”能够概括文章主旨，最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 D Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food? Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time. Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we’re already growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way: It changed its menu to exclusively (专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away. For two weeks in March, Greenwich Village’s Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver’s vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste. A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue (收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion. It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine. Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability, and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything. 12. What can be inferred about the author’s early life? A. He witnessed food shortage. B. He enjoyed the local cuisine. C. He donated food to Africans. D. He helped to cook at home. 13. Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment? A. To customize dishes for guests. B. To make the public aware of food waste. C. To test a food processing method. D. To improve the UK’s zero-waste systems. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Why the ingredients were used. B. Which dishes were best liked. C. What the dishes were made of. D. Where the ingredients were bought. 15. What can we learn about wastED? A. It has ended as planned. B. It is creating new jobs. C. It has regained popularity. D. It is criticized by top chefs. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了食物浪费问题，并以纽约一家餐厅的短期实验项目“wastED”为例，该餐厅通过创意改造本该被丢弃的食材制作菜品，以此提高人们对可持续饮食的关注。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time. (这种感觉或许源于在南非的成长经历 —— 在那里，“非洲还有孩子在挨饿” 这句话与其说是晚餐时的祈祷，不如说是对现实令人不安的提醒)” 可知，作者在南非长大，那里有孩子挨饿是事实，由此可推断作者早年目睹了食物短缺的情况。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste. (每道菜都是量身定制的，以提高人们对食物浪费的认识)”可知，Blue Hill餐厅进行这个实验，将菜单改为只提供原本会被扔掉的食物，是为了提高公众对食物浪费的认识。故选B。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine. (值得注意的是，从技术上讲，wastED的菜单上没有一项是由垃圾制成的。相反，所有使用的食材都是大多数餐馆永远不会考虑供应的肉类部位和农产品。羽衣甘蓝茎、鱼颈肉、被挑拣的红薯和黄瓜蒂等东西都被重新利用，在许多优秀厨师的助力下，变成了美味的菜肴)”可知，本段主要介绍了wastED菜单上的菜品所用的配料，如羽衣甘蓝茎、鱼颈肉、被挑拣的红薯和黄瓜蒂等，所以本段主要讲的是这些菜肴是由什么做成的。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. (尽管 wastED 餐厅收获了热烈的评价，但它从一开始就被设计为短期实验项目；此后，Blue Hill 餐厅已回归常规菜单)”可知，wastED从一开始就被设计为短期实验，现在餐厅已恢复常规菜单，从而推断，实验项目“wastED”已经按计划结束了。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Eyes Are the Prize To protect our hearts, we control the intake of salt and fat.

In fact, if the glasses are simply dark but not UV-protected, that’s worse for your eyes. ____17____.” ●Take a break from screens. While there’s no scientific evidence that the light from electronic screens damages eyes, staring at a screen can leave eyes extremely tired. One of the reasons is that people tend to blink (眨眼) less during screen use. ____18____. The National Institutes of Health recommends taking a break every 20 minutes to look at something about 20 feet away for 20 seconds. ●____19____ First, smoking is terrible. It isn’t just bad for your lungs; it can harm eyes too. “Smoking causes dry eyes, harms optic (视觉) nerve and makes eye disease worse,” says Dr. Akpek. Also, try not to rub your eyes. “The more you rub, the more uncomfortable your eyes will get.____20____. Instead, take medication or use drops for allergies or dry eyes.” A. Stop smoking. B. Get rid of bad habits. C. This leads to eye dryness. D. It can lead to infections. E. Here is some advice from experts. F. Do buy expensive sunglasses that you can afford. G.

(以下是来自专家的一些建议)”直接回应上文的问题，引出下文将要介绍的具体保护措施，起到承上启下的过渡作用。下文以项目符号形式列出三条具体建议，与E选项的“advice”形成呼应。故选E项。 【17题详解】 上文“Dark glasses aren’t necessarily the most protective. In fact, if the glasses are simply dark but not UV-protected, that’s worse for your eyes. (深色眼镜不一定最防晒。事实上，如果眼镜仅仅是颜色深而不防紫外线，那对眼睛更有害)”指出普通深色眼镜的危害。G选项“Do buy sunglasses that can block out 99% to 100% UV light. (一定要购买能阻挡99%至100%紫外线的太阳镜)”承接上文，针对上文指出的问题给出了正确的选购建议，即购买真正具备紫外线防护功能的太阳镜。故选G项。 【18题详解】 上文“While there’s no scientific evidence that the light from electronic screens damages eyes, staring at a screen can leave eyes extremely tired. One of the reasons is that people tend to blink (眨眼) less during screen use. (虽然没有科学证据表明电子屏幕的光线会损害眼睛，但盯着屏幕看会让眼睛极度疲劳。原因之一是人们在使用屏幕时眨眼次数减少)”解释了屏幕导致眼疲劳的一个具体原因——眨眼减少。C选项“This leads to eye dryness. (这会导致眼睛干涩)”承接上文，用“This”指代上文的“blink less (眨眼减少)”，指出这一行为的直接后果(眼睛干涩)。下文“The National Institutes of Health recommends taking a break every 20 minutes to look at something about 20 feet away for 20 seconds. (美国国立卫生研究院建议每20分钟休息一下，看约20英尺外的物体20秒)”则针对眼睛干涩和疲劳给出了具体的缓解建议，上下文形成“原因—后果—建议”的逻辑链条。故选C项。 【19题详解】 下文“First, smoking is terrible. It isn’t just bad for your lungs; it can harm eyes too. “Smoking causes dry eyes, harms optic (视觉) nerve and makes eye disease worse,” says Dr. Akpek. Also, try not to rub your eyes. (首先，吸烟很可怕。它不仅对肺有害，还会伤害眼睛。“吸烟会导致眼睛干涩，损害视神经，并使眼病恶化，”阿克佩克博士说。此外，尽量不要揉眼睛)”整段都在列举对眼睛有害的不良习惯(吸烟、揉眼)。B选项“Get rid of bad habits. (改掉坏习惯)”作为本段小标题，精准概括了下文的核心内容，即指出并建议改掉这些伤害眼睛的行为。故选B项。 【20题详解】 上文“Also, try not to rub your eyes. “The more you rub, the more uncomfortable your eyes will get. (此外，尽量不要揉眼睛。“你越揉，眼睛就会越不舒服)”指出揉眼的危害。D选项“It can lead to infections. (它可能导致感染)”承接上文，进一步补充揉眼可能带来的更严重后果(感染)，从而强化了“不要揉眼”这一建议的必要性。下文“Instead, take medication or use drops for allergies or dry eyes.

I was having an interview online and talking with my potential employer, Ms Black. We had not met in person yet. But from what I had read of her requirements for a personal assistant, I knew I wanted the position. She even had a little pet dog who had the final say on any applicant. “Your puppy sounds so cute,” I added. “I love dogs.” Then, I started to worry that typing that was too much at this early stage and stopped myself from adding anything more. The bubbles appeared on screen, showing that the lady was typing something in response, when there was a knock at my front door. My mother was in, and as I was in the middle of an online interview, I asked her to answer it. I heard a lot of muffled (模糊不清的) noise and then my mother called my name. I hurried downstairs, wondering what was going on. Our neighbor was in our entrance hall, holding her little cat, Marley. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. “We were attacked by a big dog,” she wept. Marley was quiet in her arms but alert. “Are you okay?” “Yes. But Marley is hurt,” she nodded shakily and said. “Let’s take Marley to the veterinary (兽医的) hospital. I’ll be with you in a moment.” I took the stairs two at a time. I was supposed to be in the middle of an interview. There was more writing from my potential employer on the screen, but I took no time to read it. I quickly wrote: “So sorry. Have to go. Neighbor’s cat hurt, taking to veterinary hospital.” Half the words were probably jumbled (乱七八糟的), but I clicked “send” and did not wait for an answer. I just seized my bag and ran back downstairs. 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。 It was late when I got back, and I thought I had blown the online interview. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Despite the late hour, I typed a quick message to reply to Ms Black’s concern. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 It was late when I got back, and I thought I had blown the online interview. I knew quitting an interview halfway was extremely inappropriate and no boss would accept it. I did not regret it, though. Given the same choice again, I still would have helped my neighbor and Marley. I was worn out as I climbed the stairs to bed. However, a quick glance at my laptop cheered me up. There were a number of messages from Ms Black. As I looked through the messages, I was more than shocked. She had continued to write for a while after I had gone. She was anxious to hear how the cat was doing. Despite the late hour, I typed a quick message to reply to Ms Black’s concern. I sincerely explained the whole incident and apologized for the sudden interruption. To my great surprise, Ms Black replied promptly as I was about to shut down the computer. “You got the job!” I stared at the screen and couldn’t believe my eyes. “What?” Maybe she had mistyped. “You got the job,” she repeated. She said she was deeply touched by my kindness and sense of responsibility. She added, “Anyone who’s willing to rush away from a job interview to help an injured animal is someone I want to work for me and my puppy.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者正在参加线上求职面试，面试中途邻居抱着受伤的小猫前来求助，作者立刻中断面试陪同小猫赶往兽医医院。回家后以为面试彻底搞砸，却意外收到雇主Ms Black的消息，善良与责任感让作者成功获得这份助理工作。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者虽认为自己搞砸了面试但并不后悔自己的选择，上楼准备休息，打开电脑看到Ms Black发来多条消息，对方十分关心小猫的状况。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者诚恳解释整件事并为突然中断面试致歉，出乎意料收到录用通知，Ms Black被作者的善良和责任心打动，愿意聘用作者。 2. 续写线索： 中断面试——救助小猫——回家后以为面试失败——查看消息——诚恳致歉——意外获聘 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 停止：quit/abandon ② 帮助：help/assist ③ 解释：explain/account for 情绪类 ① 震惊的：shocked/astonished ② 感动的：touched/moved 【点睛】【高分句型1】Given the same choice again, I still would have helped my neighbor and Marley.

Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself. She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derek Lloyd. From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her school holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money. She says: “I’m sure I wasn’t much of a help to start with. But when Derek built our family house about eight years ago, I was heavily involved, painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and it was back-breaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills.” Terri, who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth, South West London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit when a tenancy (租期) comes to an end. She adds: “I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalize my room and put up pictures. So, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out.” With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over the coming weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done. The average spend per project will be around £823. Two thirds of people aim to improve their comfort while at home. A fifth wish to increase the value of their houses. Though DIY has traditionally been seen as a male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge. 4. Which is closest in meaning to “a dab hand” in paragraph 1? A. A realist. B. A specialist. C. An engineer. D. A pioneer. 5. Why did Terri’s grandfather give her £5 a day? A. For a birthday gift. B. As a reward for her work. C. To support her DIY projects. D. To encourage her to take up a hobby. 6. How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented? A. By making it look like before. B. By furnishing it herself. C. By splitting the rent with a roommate. D. By canceling the rental agreement. 7. What trend in DIY does the research show? A. It is becoming more costly. B. It is getting more time-consuming. C. It is gaining popularity among females. D. It is turning into a seasonal industry. C Brands have spent years perfecting video marketing strategies. Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people, according to research from video creation platform Animoto. That preference holds as AI video tools flood the market and brands race to create more content faster. The finding comes from Animoto’s State of Video 2026 report, based on a survey of 460 American consumers and marketers. As AI generates full videos from text prompts (提示), the truth remains: People still want to see other people. The preference for human faces isn’t just about aesthetics (美学). More than 82% of consumers report watching videos that they believe were AI-generated, and among that group, 36% say it lowers their trust in the brand behind it. This creates a problem with the numbers for marketers. Even if AI tools can help produce videos faster, the resulting content may raise doubt that destroys the entire purpose of making the video in the first place. Separate research cited in the report found that 88% of consumers consider brand trust as important as price and quality when making purchases. Three-quarters of US adults think it’s extremely or very important to know whether images, videos, or text were created by AI or people. This trust loss appears regardless of whether audiences correctly identify AI content. The survey showed that consumers believe they can spot AI-generated videos based on “an entire set of signals” and contextual mismatches, according to respondent Olga Mirkovic. Whether they’re right doesn’t matter. Perception alone affects how they view the brand. Surveyed marketing professionals aren’t trying to remove humans from their videos. Despite pressure to produce more content faster, marketers still want control over which footage to use, how to present their brand voice, and when to put themselves on camera. Roya Safarian, a survey respondent, explained the balance: “AI can enhance storytelling as long as the brand still keeps a human touch. The key is balance: Technology should support the message, not replace the genuine voice behind it.” 8. What is the most effective trust-building video marketing strategy? A. Making videos featuring real people. B. Using AI to generate videos quickly. C. Updating video production fashion. D. Producing true video content faster. 9. In what circumstances does the trust loss occur? A. When video aesthetics are poor. B. When video production speeds up. C. When AI content is perceived. D. When brand trust is compared to price. 10. What do marketing professionals suggest AI be used for in video-making? A. Generating videos automatically. B. Aiding in content creation as a tool. C. Controlling brand voice directly. D. Replacing human presenters entirely. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Contrasting AI and Human-made Videos B. Building Consumer Trust with AI Videos C. Facing Trust Crisis in AI-generated Videos D. Balancing Technology and Humanity in Videos D Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food? Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time. Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we’re already growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way: It changed its menu to exclusively (专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away. For two weeks in March, Greenwich Village’s Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver’s vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste. A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue (收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion. It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine. Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability, and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything. 12. What can be inferred about the author’s early life? A. He witnessed food shortage. B. He enjoyed the local cuisine. C. He donated food to Africans. D. He helped to cook at home. 13. Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment? A. To customize dishes for guests. B. To make the public aware of food waste. C. To test a food processing method. D. To improve the UK’s zero-waste systems. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Why the ingredients were used. B. Which dishes were best liked. C. What the dishes were made of. D. Where the ingredients were bought. 15. What can we learn about wastED? A. It has ended as planned. B. It is creating new jobs. C. It has regained popularity. D. It is criticized by top chefs. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Eyes Are the Prize To protect our hearts, we control the intake of salt and fat. To keep our bones strong, we work out and consume calcium. To protect our skin, we apply sun-screen. However, what can we do to protect our eyes? ____16____ ●Spring for some quality shades. “It is very important to protect the eyes from UV (紫外线的) light, which has been shown to have a harmful effect on the eyes.” says Esen Akpek, an ophthalmology (眼科) professor at Johns Hopkins University. “Dark glasses aren’t necessarily the most protective. In fact, if the glasses are simply dark but not UV-protected, that’s worse for your eyes. ____17____.” ●Take a break from screens. While there’s no scientific evidence that the light from electronic screens damages eyes, staring at a screen can leave eyes extremely tired. One of the reasons is that people tend to blink (眨眼) less during screen use. ____18____.

I was having an interview online and talking with my potential employer, Ms Black. We had not met in person yet. But from what I had read of her requirements for a personal assistant, I knew I wanted the position. She even had a little pet dog who had the final say on any applicant. “Your puppy sounds so cute,” I added. “I love dogs.” Then, I started to worry that typing that was too much at this early stage and stopped myself from adding anything more. The bubbles appeared on screen, showing that the lady was typing something in response, when there was a knock at my front door. My mother was in, and as I was in the middle of an online interview, I asked her to answer it. I heard a lot of muffled (模糊不清的) noise and then my mother called my name. I hurried downstairs, wondering what was going on. Our neighbor was in our entrance hall, holding her little cat, Marley. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. “We were attacked by a big dog,” she wept. Marley was quiet in her arms but alert. “Are you okay?” “Yes. But Marley is hurt,” she nodded shakily and said. “Let’s take Marley to the veterinary (兽医的) hospital. I’ll be with you in a moment.” I took the stairs two at a time. I was supposed to be in the middle of an interview. There was more writing from my potential employer on the screen, but I took no time to read it. I quickly wrote: “So sorry. Have to go. Neighbor’s cat hurt, taking to veterinary hospital.” Half the words were probably jumbled (乱七八糟的), but I clicked “send” and did not wait for an answer. I just seized my bag and ran back downstairs. 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。 It was late when I got back, and I thought I had blown the online interview. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Despite the late hour, I typed a quick message to reply to Ms Black’s concern. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
