Here’s something I’m proud of in life as a boy: the clean home that I keep. It’s not something that comes from flair. It’s the result of many small habits, a lot of trial and error, and learning to be gentle with myself as I figured it all out.
As someone who started living independently in my teens, a time well before YouTube or cleaning influencers came about, I had plenty to learn. In those early years, I wasn’t lazy, but helpless. I hadn’t learned any practical systems for maintaining a home, but I had definitely absorbed anxiety and perfectionism around cleanliness. One of my low points was realising I hadn’t changed my quilt (被子) cover for an embarrassingly long time, due to no tips for handling larger items like the queen-sized quilt. And when I finally did it? It took over an hour.
But every journey begins somewhere. Over time, I slowly fell into a plan: Saturday mornings were spent doing basic cleaning, tidying the bathroom, and changing the sheets. I still hated that it ruined my weekend, but something shifted. I started to enjoy the ritual (仪式) of putting on headphones, listening to music, and diving into a simple task. There was comfort in the predictable pace. And there was something confidence-boosting about improving my environment with my own hands. It reminded me I could affect change, however small. It wasn’t about making chaos into order. It was about making something feel more beautiful.
Later, in Singapore, I lived in shared apartments where cleaning was often outsourced (外包). That was convenient, but something was missing. I no longer had the ritual and the grounding effect of cleaning. When I later became responsible for an apartment again, I decided to do the cleaning myself. And I realised: I still liked it — not the boring part of it, but the head-clearing, podcast-listening, and environment-improving satisfaction.
4. What does the underlined word “flair” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Pressure. B. Reward. C. Effort. D. Talent.
5. Why had the author failed to change the quilt cover for a long time?
A. He cared little about tidiness. B. He lacked cleaning guidance.
C. He feared damaging it. D. He had little free time.
6. What is implied about the author’s cleaning plan?
A. It eased his mental pressure. B. It enriched his weekend life.
C. It expanded his social network. D. It boosted his time management.
7. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning cleaning outsource?
A. To indicate the stress of cleaning on his own.
B. To prove the importance of keeping tidy.
C. To show the effects of cleaning on his own.
D. To prove the benefits of living together.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者学习做家务打扫的经历,以及打扫带给自己内心的感受与力量。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“It’s not something that comes from flair. It’s the result of many small habits, a lot of trial and error, and learning to be gentle with myself as I figured it all out.(这并非来源于flair。它是诸多小习惯、反复试错以及在摸索过程中学会善待自己的结果。)”可知,后句讲靠习惯、反复尝试得来,所以flair指“天赋”,与Talent同义。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One of my low points was realising I hadn’t changed my quilt (被子) cover for an embarrassingly long time, due to no tips for handling larger items like the queen‑sized quilt.(我的低谷之一,就是发现自己很久没有换被套,因为我没有处理大号被子这类物品的技巧。)”可知,作者长时间不换被套是因为缺少打扫方面的指导技巧。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“There was comfort in the predictable pace. And there was something confidence‑boosting about improving my environment with my own hands.(这种可预期的节奏给人慰藉。亲手改善居住环境也能增强自信心。)”可知,作者的打扫计划带来慰藉、提升自信,缓解了内心的精神压力。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“That was convenient, but something was missing. I no longer had the ritual and the grounding effect of cleaning…And I realised: I still liked it — not the boring part of it, but the head‑clearing, podcast‑listening, and environment‑improving satisfaction.(外包打扫很方便,但缺失了某些东西。我不再拥有打扫带来的仪式感与安定作用……我意识到我依旧喜欢打扫,不是枯燥的部分,而是理清思绪、改善环境带来的满足感。)”可知,作者提到外包打扫,用来对比体现亲自打扫带给自己的种种作用与影响。
C
You ask your wife to pick a local restaurant and pick up some take-out one evening. Then, while logging in to a Zoom meeting, you also ask your mom to buy some wine on her way home. While they follow through on your requests, you are left astonished and annoyed: How is it that they could pick a restaurant that was involved in a health scandal (丑闻) last month? And why would they choose a type of wine you hate?
The husband above has been caught by a psychological effect known as the curse (诅咒) of knowledge. It’s a simple but destructive effect: once we know something, it’s very difficult to imagine not knowing it, or to take the perspective of someone who doesn’t.
The effect was first put forward by Elizabeth Newton, a Ph.D. candidate at Stanford, in 1990. Newton arranged an experiment in which one person, a tapper (敲击者), was asked to tap out the melody (旋律) of a popular song, while another person, the listener, was asked to identify it. The tappers assumed that their listeners would correctly identify about 50% of their melodies; they were amazed to learn that the listeners only got about one out of 40 songs correct. To the tappers, their melodies sounded perfectly clear and obvious, but the listeners heard no music and no instrumentation in their heads, who only heard noise of a finger tapping on a table.
As I noted in a post about the Dunning-Kruger effect last year, people who aren’t well-informed are quite likely to feel confident in their opinions, because they don’t know enough to question their own unearned confidence. Similarly, we often make an unrecognized assumption: someone can read our minds or form opinions based on information we haven’t shared. This assumption often leads us to feel we’ve clearly expressed our wants and needs even when we haven’t.
8. Why is the husband shocked and angry?
A. His requests were refused. B. He preferred sweet wines.
C. His wife purchased unnecessary items. D. He disagreed with his family’s options.
9. What is a feature of the curse of knowledge?
A. It overstates people’s innovation. B. It causes people to ignore advice.
C. It blinds people to others’ ignorance. D. It stops people from sharing opinions.
10. What can be inferred from Elizabeth Newton’s experiment?
A. Tappers succeeded in controlling the speed.
B. Tappers failed to consider listeners’ actuality.
C. Listeners with hearing loss had bad perception.
D. Listeners fond of pop music hated instruments.
11. How can we remove the curse of knowledge?
A. By detailing our thoughts. B. By figuring out our needs.
C. By listening to diverse ideas. D. By showing the action steps.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了“知识的诅咒”这一心理学效应。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“While they follow through on your requests, you are left astonished and annoyed: How is it that they could pick a restaurant that was involved in a health scandal (丑闻) last month? And why would they choose a type of wine you hate?(尽管她们按照你的要求完成任务,你却感到惊讶和恼怒:她们怎么会选一家上个月卷入健康丑闻的餐厅?为什么她们会选一款你讨厌的葡萄酒?)”可知,丈夫生气是因为家人选择的餐厅和葡萄酒都不符合他的偏好,他不认可家人的选择。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s a simple but destructive effect: once we know something, it’s very difficult to imagine not knowing it, or to take the perspective of someone who doesn’t.(这是一种简单却极具破坏性的效应:一旦我们知道了某件事,就很难想象不知道这件事,也很难站在不知道这件事的人的角度思考)”可知,知识的诅咒会让人们无法感知他人的未知状态,也就是让人们对他人的无知视而不见。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The tappers assumed that their listeners would correctly identify about 50% of their melodies; they were amazed to learn that the listeners only got about one out of 40 songs correct. To the tappers, their melodies sounded perfectly clear and obvious, but the listeners heard no music and no instrumentation in their heads, who only heard noise of a finger tapping on a table.(敲击者认为听众能正确识别大约50%的旋律;当他们得知听众在40首歌里只能对大约1首时,他们非常惊讶。对敲击者来说,他们的旋律听起来非常清晰明了,但听众脑子里听不到音乐和乐器伴奏,只能听到手指敲击桌子的噪音)”可知,敲击者已经知道歌曲旋律,就默认听众也能像自己一样分辨出旋律,完全没有考虑到听众只听到手指敲击桌子的声音却根本不知道原旋律这一实际情况。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Similarly, we often make an unrecognized assumption: someone can read our minds or form opinions based on information we haven’t shared. This assumption often leads us to feel we’ve clearly expressed our wants and needs even when we haven’t.(类似地,我们经常会做出一个未被认识的假设:别人能根据我们没有分享过的信息读懂我们的心思或形成观点。这种假设常常会让我们以为自己已经清楚表达了我们的愿望和需求,即便实际上我们并没有)”可知,知识的诅咒本质源于我们没有把自己知道的信息完整传递给他人,因此消除知识诅咒的方法就是详细完整地表达出我们的想法。

Cooking is a unique cultural phenomenon at the core of human creative efforts. Recipes, flavour, nutrition, and health form the pieces of the food puzzle. In the last decade, computer-based food science has developed as a powerful data science aided by structured collections of cooking databases, field-specific algorithms (算法), and applications.
For instance, RecipeDB, a structured collection of recipes from global cuisines and underlying algorithms that can identify culinary (烹饪的) elements, is ripe for exploration. This organized database can help estimate the nutritional value of dishes, among other things. Similarly, FlavorDB represents the taste and smell correlates (相关的事物) of food ingredients, recording the reasons behind their use in cooking. Data from studies on the health effects of food and estimated carbon footprints of recipes highlight important health and environmental impacts, crucial for public health and sustainability.
Attempts have been made to develop recipe generation algorithms via text generation and LLMs, like Ratatouille, powered by 118,000 global structured recipes and advanced named entity (实体) recognition. Yet it is harder to evaluate computer-generated recipes than LLM-written poetry, paintings or music. The “Turing Test for Chefs” has experts rate recipes — both traditional and AI-generated — on a scale from 0 (AI-made) to 5 (human-made). Delhi hotel management final-year students tested Ratatouille, with LLM models achieving 69.88% F1-score success. The algorithm behind it provided detailed instructions on ingredients and quantities, pre-processing steps, cooking steps, and the appropriate cookers and methods.
Novel recipe-generation strategies have the potential to create tasty and nutritious dishes with public health consequences. When combined with appropriate data, these can also generate personalised, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable recipes. However, taste will remain a crucial factor in the acceptance of AI-generated recipes. Therefore, the skill and creativity of chefs will be essential to make sense of the output of AI. More and more cooking-related data is available now, and cooking involves complex senses. AI will help boost people’s creativity, but it can never take people’s place.
12. What do RecipeDB and FlavorDB have in common?
A. They focus on health effects. B. They teach cooking methods.
C. They clarify the cooking logic. D. They analyse food interactions.
13. What do we know about Ratatouille?
A. It resolved taste-related issues. B. It offered standardized operations.
C. It skipped pre-processing steps. D. It outperformed professional chefs.
14. Why is AI unlikely to replace chefs?
A. It lacks consideration of taste. B. It misses enough culinary data.
C. It creates dishes without novelty. D. It misinterprets customers’ needs.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Judges of AI Recipes B. Keys to Tasty Dishes
C. “Rulers” of the Cooking Area D. A New “Cook” in Our Kitchen
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲的是AI食谱技术的发展、优势,同时指出它的局限,说明AI不能取代人类厨师.
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“For instance, RecipeDB, a structured collection of recipes from global cuisines and underlying algorithms that can identify culinary (烹饪的) elements, is ripe for exploration. This organized database can help estimate the nutritional value of dishes, among other things. Similarly, FlavorDB represents the taste and smell correlates (相关的事物) of food ingredients, recording the reasons behind their use in cooking.(例如,食谱数据库(RecipeDB)汇集了世界各地菜系的结构化食谱,底层算法能够识别各类烹饪要素,拥有广阔的研究探索空间。这套结构化数据库除其他用途外,还可用于估算菜品的营养价值。与之类似,风味数据库(FlavorDB)呈现各类食材的味觉与嗅觉相关事物,记录食材用于烹饪背后的原理。)”可知,RecipeDB和Flavor DB的共同点是都阐明了烹饪逻辑。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The algorithm behind it provided detailed instructions on ingredients and quantities, pre-processing steps, cooking steps, and the appropriate cookers and methods.(其底层算法能够输出详尽信息,涵盖食材与用量、预处理工序、烹饪步骤以及适配的厨具和烹饪方式。)”可知,Ratatouille提供了标准化的操作流程。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, taste will remain a crucial factor in the acceptance of AI-generated recipes.(不过,口味依旧是人工智能生成食谱能否被大众接受的关键因素。)”可知,人工智能不太可能取代厨师是因为它缺乏对味道的考量。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“In the last decade, computer-based food science has developed as a powerful data science aided by structured collections of cooking databases, field-specific algorithms (算法), and applications.(过去十年间,依托结构化烹饪数据库、专用算法以及各类应用程序,计算机食品科学发展成为一门实力强劲的数据科学。)”和最后一段“More and more cooking-related data is available now, and cooking involves complex senses. AI will help boost people’s creativity, but it can never take people’s place.(如今,越来越多与烹饪相关的数据可供使用,而烹饪涉及复杂的感官体验。人工智能将有助于激发人们的创造力,但永远无法取代人类的角色。)”可知,本文主要讲的是AI食谱技术的发展、优势,同时指出它的局限,说明 AI 不能取代人类厨师,因此最恰当的标题是D选项“A New “Cook” in Our Kitchen(我们厨房里的新“厨师”)”。
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。
We all know that our dogs have feelings, and that they can be happy or sad. But, do dogs actually cry real tears when they get sad? Dogs are highly sensitive pets, and they experience a variety of emotions, just like humans. ____16____ They might just have watery eyes. As far as scientists know, humans are the only species that cry for emotional reasons.
Dogs do “cry” when they’re sad. However, dogs use voices to express feelings rather than having watery eyes. They begin doing this at a young age by crying out for their moms when in trouble. ____17____ As they get older, dogs may continue this whining (哀鸣) when sad.
Once they have matured, dogs consider their human owners to be the pack leader, or mother figure, and will direct their whining or crying towards them. Many specialists believe dogs suffering from separation anxiety will whine for their mothers. ____18____
____19____ They can also be sad, in pain or attempting to let you know that they’re feeling uncomfortable or want something. Also, dogs may howl (嗥叫) occasionally, which is just another form of “crying”. In fact, many experts believe that howling is a dog’s ultimate expression of sadness.
If dogs don’t produce emotional tears, why do they tear up at all? Studies show there is oftentimes a medical reason behind dogs having tears. ____20____ A dog’s tear ducts (泪管) work somewhat differently. For dogs, the tears or liquid will flow back into the throat and nose rather than from the eyes.
A. This is because dogs are social animals.
B. However, no science proves dogs cry for sadness.
C. Separation anxiety isn’t the only cause of dogs whining.
D. Similarly, when sad, they go to their parent-like person.
E. Virtually, that may be a sign of a serious health condition.
F. The reasons for dogs crying or howling are exactly the same.
G. They learn to make distinct sounds that can be recognized instantly.
【答案】16. B 17. G 18. D 19. C 20. E
【解析】

【18题详解】
根据前文“Many specialists believe dogs suffering from separation anxiety will whine for their mothers.(许多专家认为患有分离焦虑的狗狗会向着自己的母亲哀鸣。)”可知,此处讲狗狗会向母亲哀鸣,可推理出空白处说的是当它们难过的时候会求助于人,D选项“Similarly, when sad, they go to their parent‑like person.(同样,当它们难过时,会去找像父母一样的人。)”承接上文,其中“parent‑like person”指代上文中的human owners,符合语境。
【19题详解】
根据后文“They can also be sad, in pain or attempting to let you know that they’re feeling uncomfortable or want something.(它们也可能是悲伤、身体疼痛,或是试图告诉你它们感到不舒服或者想要某物。)”可知,后文介绍狗狗哀鸣的多种缘由,可推理出空白处说的是分离焦虑并不是狗狗哀鸣的唯一原因,C选项“Separation anxiety isn’t the only cause of dogs whining.(分离焦虑并不是狗狗哀鸣的唯一原因。)”引出下文多个原因,符合语境。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Studies show there is oftentimes a medical reason behind dogs having tears.(研究表明狗狗流泪背后往往存在医学方面的原因。)”以及后文“A dog’s tear ducts (泪管) work somewhat differently.(狗的泪管工作方式有所不同。)”可知,此处围绕狗狗流泪的健康问题展开,可推理出空白处说的是狗流泪可能是健康问题的信号,E选项“Virtually, that may be a sign of a serious health condition.(事实上,那可能是严重健康问题的信号。)”承接前文的医学原因,符合语境。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Coco had just graduated from university when she got a job at a special education school for deaf children. At first, she felt a strong sense of resistance deep inside. She had always worried that interacting with deaf kids would be extremely difficult. She decided to simply complete necessary tasks. Every morning, she arrived at school early to prepare teaching materials. During classes, she patiently used sign language and pictures to explain knowledge to the children, making sure each one could follow.
One Friday afternoon, the art teacher Kay came to Coco’s office with a big smile. “Coco, you have to see what Cindy drew today,” Kay said, holding up a colorful painting. Coco leaned over and her eyes widened instantly. The painting was of herself, who had long, flowing hair painted in soft pink, bright eyes like crescent moons (新月), and a warm smile that seemed to light up the whole picture. Every detail was filled with kindness, making her look more beautiful than she had ever seen herself.
Curious, Kay had asked Cindy why she chose to draw Coco. Later, Kay told Coco what Cindy had said through sign language: “Ms. Coco stays after class to help me practice sign language when I don’t understand. She never gets angry when I make mistakes. Last week, I cried because I couldn’t tie my shoes, and she sat with me for 20 minutes until I did it. Her hands are warm, and her eyes always say ‘you can do it’.”
Hearing this, Coco felt a tightness in her chest. She had always viewed her job as a mere responsibility, never realising that her small, daily actions meant so much to a child. For the first time, she looked back on all the moments with the children: their shy smiles when they learned a new word in sign language, their excited hugs when they finished a task.
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。
Paragraph 1: She realised this job was far more than she had thought.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Gradually, she became more and more popular among the kids.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
She realised this job was far more than she had thought. It wasn’t just about completing tasks. Instead, it was about building connections, lighting up hope in little hearts, and being someone the children could trust. That night, she taped Cindy’s painting on her fridge, a constant reminder of why she was there. From then on, she stopped just “doing her job” and started pouring her heart into it: She stayed later to play games with the kids after class, made personalized flash cards for those who struggled, and even learned more playful sign language phrases to make them laugh.
Gradually, she became more and more popular among the kids. Every morning, as soon as she stepped into the school gate, a group of little ones would rush over, their small hands grabbing hers, chatting happily in sign language. Once, a boy named Tom gave her a crumpled paper flower, signing, “You make school feel like home.” Coco finally understood: the resistance she’d felt at first had disappeared, replaced by a deep love for this job. It wasn’t just a career anymore; it was a journey filled with joy, growth, and endless love from the kids she treasured.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了刚大学毕业的Coco在特殊教育学校从事听障儿童教育工作。起初她内心抵触,只把工作当作必须完成的任务。直到看到学生Cindy画的自己的画像,听完孩子的内心独白后,Coco幡然醒悟,意识到自己日常微小举动对孩子意义重大的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容可知,第一段可描写Coco思想上的转变,不再机械完成工作,开始用心投入,做出一系列关爱孩子们的行动。
②由第二段首句内容可知,第二段可描写孩子们对 Coco的喜爱与回馈,Coco最初的抵触彻底消散,收获对这份职业的热爱与感悟。
2.续写线索:用心投入工作 —— 孩子热烈回应 —— 收获孩子礼物 —— 抵触消散 —— 热爱职业
3.词汇激活
行为类
①投入:pour one’s heart into/devote oneself to
②跑过去:rush over/run over
③代替:replace/substitute
情绪类

【点睛】[高分句型1] From then on, she stopped just “doing her job” and started pouring her heart into it: She stayed later to play games with the kids after class, made personalized flash cards for those who struggled, and even learned more playful sign language phrases to make them laugh. (运用了由who引导的限制性定语从句)

Here’s something I’m proud of in life as a boy: the clean home that I keep. It’s not something that comes from flair. It’s the result of many small habits, a lot of trial and error, and learning to be gentle with myself as I figured it all out.
As someone who started living independently in my teens, a time well before YouTube or cleaning influencers came about, I had plenty to learn. In those early years, I wasn’t lazy, but helpless. I hadn’t learned any practical systems for maintaining a home, but I had definitely absorbed anxiety and perfectionism around cleanliness. One of my low points was realising I hadn’t changed my quilt (被子) cover for an embarrassingly long time, due to no tips for handling larger items like the queen-sized quilt. And when I finally did it? It took over an hour.
But every journey begins somewhere. Over time, I slowly fell into a plan: Saturday mornings were spent doing basic cleaning, tidying the bathroom, and changing the sheets. I still hated that it ruined my weekend, but something shifted. I started to enjoy the ritual (仪式) of putting on headphones, listening to music, and diving into a simple task. There was comfort in the predictable pace. And there was something confidence-boosting about improving my environment with my own hands. It reminded me I could affect change, however small. It wasn’t about making chaos into order. It was about making something feel more beautiful.
Later, in Singapore, I lived in shared apartments where cleaning was often outsourced (外包). That was convenient, but something was missing. I no longer had the ritual and the grounding effect of cleaning. When I later became responsible for an apartment again, I decided to do the cleaning myself. And I realised: I still liked it — not the boring part of it, but the head-clearing, podcast-listening, and environment-improving satisfaction.
4. What does the underlined word “flair” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Pressure. B. Reward. C. Effort. D. Talent.
5. Why had the author failed to change the quilt cover for a long time?
A. He cared little about tidiness. B. He lacked cleaning guidance.
C. He feared damaging it. D. He had little free time.
6. What is implied about the author’s cleaning plan?
A. It eased his mental pressure. B. It enriched his weekend life.
C. It expanded his social network. D. It boosted his time management.
7. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning cleaning outsource?
A. To indicate the stress of cleaning on his own.
B. To prove the importance of keeping tidy.
C. To show the effects of cleaning on his own.
D. To prove the benefits of living together.
C
You ask your wife to pick a local restaurant and pick up some take-out one evening. Then, while logging in to a Zoom meeting, you also ask your mom to buy some wine on her way home. While they follow through on your requests, you are left astonished and annoyed: How is it that they could pick a restaurant that was involved in a health scandal (丑闻) last month? And why would they choose a type of wine you hate?
The husband above has been caught by a psychological effect known as the curse (诅咒) of knowledge. It’s a simple but destructive effect: once we know something, it’s very difficult to imagine not knowing it, or to take the perspective of someone who doesn’t.
The effect was first put forward by Elizabeth Newton, a Ph.D. candidate at Stanford, in 1990. Newton arranged an experiment in which one person, a tapper (敲击者), was asked to tap out the melody (旋律) of a popular song, while another person, the listener, was asked to identify it. The tappers assumed that their listeners would correctly identify about 50% of their melodies; they were amazed to learn that the listeners only got about one out of 40 songs correct. To the tappers, their melodies sounded perfectly clear and obvious, but the listeners heard no music and no instrumentation in their heads, who only heard noise of a finger tapping on a table.
As I noted in a post about the Dunning-Kruger effect last year, people who aren’t well-informed are quite likely to feel confident in their opinions, because they don’t know enough to question their own unearned confidence. Similarly, we often make an unrecognized assumption: someone can read our minds or form opinions based on information we haven’t shared. This assumption often leads us to feel we’ve clearly expressed our wants and needs even when we haven’t.
8. Why is the husband shocked and angry?
A. His requests were refused. B. He preferred sweet wines.
C. His wife purchased unnecessary items. D. He disagreed with his family’s options.
9. What is a feature of the curse of knowledge?
A. It overstates people’s innovation. B. It causes people to ignore advice.
C. It blinds people to others’ ignorance. D. It stops people from sharing opinions.
10. What can be inferred from Elizabeth Newton’s experiment?
A. Tappers succeeded in controlling the speed.
B. Tappers failed to consider listeners’ actuality.
C. Listeners with hearing loss had bad perception.
D. Listeners fond of pop music hated instruments.
11. How can we remove the curse of knowledge?
A. By detailing our thoughts. B. By figuring out our needs.
C. By listening to diverse ideas. D. By showing the action steps.
D
Cooking is a unique cultural phenomenon at the core of human creative efforts. Recipes, flavour, nutrition, and health form the pieces of the food puzzle. In the last decade, computer-based food science has developed as a powerful data science aided by structured collections of cooking databases, field-specific algorithms (算法), and applications.
For instance, RecipeDB, a structured collection of recipes from global cuisines and underlying algorithms that can identify culinary (烹饪的) elements, is ripe for exploration. This organized database can help estimate the nutritional value of dishes, among other things. Similarly, FlavorDB represents the taste and smell correlates (相关的事物) of food ingredients, recording the reasons behind their use in cooking. Data from studies on the health effects of food and estimated carbon footprints of recipes highlight important health and environmental impacts, crucial for public health and sustainability.
Attempts have been made to develop recipe generation algorithms via text generation and LLMs, like Ratatouille, powered by 118,000 global structured recipes and advanced named entity (实体) recognition. Yet it is harder to evaluate computer-generated recipes than LLM-written poetry, paintings or music. The “Turing Test for Chefs” has experts rate recipes — both traditional and AI-generated — on a scale from 0 (AI-made) to 5 (human-made). Delhi hotel management final-year students tested Ratatouille, with LLM models achieving 69.88% F1-score success. The algorithm behind it provided detailed instructions on ingredients and quantities, pre-processing steps, cooking steps, and the appropriate cookers and methods.
Novel recipe-generation strategies have the potential to create tasty and nutritious dishes with public health consequences. When combined with appropriate data, these can also generate personalised, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable recipes. However, taste will remain a crucial factor in the acceptance of AI-generated recipes. Therefore, the skill and creativity of chefs will be essential to make sense of the output of AI. More and more cooking-related data is available now, and cooking involves complex senses. AI will help boost people’s creativity, but it can never take people’s place.
12. What do RecipeDB and FlavorDB have in common?
A. They focus on health effects. B. They teach cooking methods.
C. They clarify the cooking logic. D. They analyse food interactions.
13. What do we know about Ratatouille?
A. It resolved taste-related issues. B. It offered standardized operations.
C. It skipped pre-processing steps. D. It outperformed professional chefs.
14. Why is AI unlikely to replace chefs?
A. It lacks consideration of taste. B. It misses enough culinary data.
C. It creates dishes without novelty. D. It misinterprets customers’ needs.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Judges of AI Recipes B. Keys to Tasty Dishes
C. “Rulers” of the Cooking Area D. A New “Cook” in Our Kitchen

Dogs are highly sensitive pets, and they experience a variety of emotions, just like humans. ____16____ They might just have watery eyes. As far as scientists know, humans are the only species that cry for emotional reasons.
Dogs do “cry” when they’re sad. However, dogs use voices to express feelings rather than having watery eyes. They begin doing this at a young age by crying out for their moms when in trouble. ____17____ As they get older, dogs may continue this whining (哀鸣) when sad.

____19____ They can also be sad, in pain or attempting to let you know that they’re feeling uncomfortable or want something. Also, dogs may howl (嗥叫) occasionally, which is just another form of “crying”. In fact, many experts believe that howling is a dog’s ultimate expression of sadness.
If dogs don’t produce emotional tears, why do they tear up at all? Studies show there is oftentimes a medical reason behind dogs having tears. ____20____ A dog’s tear ducts (泪管) work somewhat differently. For dogs, the tears or liquid will flow back into the throat and nose rather than from the eyes.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Coco had just graduated from university when she got a job at a special education school for deaf children. At first, she felt a strong sense of resistance deep inside. She had always worried that interacting with deaf kids would be extremely difficult. She decided to simply complete necessary tasks. Every morning, she arrived at school early to prepare teaching materials. During classes, she patiently used sign language and pictures to explain knowledge to the children, making sure each one could follow.
One Friday afternoon, the art teacher Kay came to Coco’s office with a big smile. “Coco, you have to see what Cindy drew today,” Kay said, holding up a colorful painting. Coco leaned over and her eyes widened instantly. The painting was of herself, who had long, flowing hair painted in soft pink, bright eyes like crescent moons (新月), and a warm smile that seemed to light up the whole picture. Every detail was filled with kindness, making her look more beautiful than she had ever seen herself.
Curious, Kay had asked Cindy why she chose to draw Coco. Later, Kay told Coco what Cindy had said through sign language: “Ms. Coco stays after class to help me practice sign language when I don’t understand. She never gets angry when I make mistakes. Last week, I cried because I couldn’t tie my shoes, and she sat with me for 20 minutes until I did it. Her hands are warm, and her eyes always say ‘you can do it’.”
Hearing this, Coco felt a tightness in her chest. She had always viewed her job as a mere responsibility, never realising that her small, daily actions meant so much to a child. For the first time, she looked back on all the moments with the children: their shy smiles when they learned a new word in sign language, their excited hugs when they finished a task.
