Moray Firth Route This 80-mile route takes you from Inverness to Loch Fleet, passing around the Beauly, Cromarty and Dornoch firths in the north-east Highlands. The drive takes about 1 hour 50 minutes. It is a good choice if you want a relatively short trip while still enjoying the scenery of northern Scotland. SnowRoads Scenic Route Running from Blairgowrie to Grantown, this 90-mile route crosses the eastern part of Cairngorms National Park. It takes drivers along some of Britain’s highest public roads, which often close first when it snows. Visitors should allow about three hours for the drive. Argyll Coastal Route For mountain scenery and sparkling loch views, try this 129-mile journey from Tarbet to Fort William. The route follows Scotland’s west coast and can be completed in about 2 hours 55 minutes. It is especially suitable for travellers who enjoy a mixture of mountains, water and coastal landscapes. South West Coastal 300 This circular road trip begins and ends in Dumfries and covers 300 miles. Along the way, travellers can enjoy unspoilt coastline, striking scenery and many places to stop and explore. Unlike the shorter routes, this trip normally takes three to four days, making it better for visitors with more time. The routes above vary in length and driving time, so you can choose one that best suits your schedule and interests. No matter which route you choose, take litter away and book accommodation in advance. 21. Which route is the shortest in distance? A. Moray Firth Route. B. SnowRoads Scenic Route. C. Argyll Coastal Route. D. South West Coastal 300. 22. What makes the South West Coastal 300 different from the other routes? A. It starts and ends in different places. B. It requires several days to complete. C. It focuses mainly on mountain views. D. It crosses Britain’s highest public roads. 23. What should travellers consider most when choosing a route? A. Cost and destinations. B. Length and safety. C. Time and interests. D. Weather and food. B Few women were studying for a PhD in chemistry when Dell Chilton entered graduate school in 1960. Fewer still were focused on the mysteries of how genetic information is stored in the beautiful double-helix structure of DNA. “I always felt like I didn’t want to be hired or advanced because I was a woman,” Dr. Chilton later said. “I wanted to be advanced because I was the best. So I made myself the best.” Conducting experiments with a tiny microbe, Dr. Chilton helped start an agricultural revolution, leading a research team that developed the first genetically modified (转基因) plant in 1982. Her work broke new ground in genetics, leading to honors including the National Medal of Technology and Innovation, and contributed to the rise of a new era of genetically modified organisms or GMOs. “Millions of farmers all over the world have Dr. Chilton to thank for protecting their crops from disease, pests and climate shocks,” said Tom Vilsack, the CEO of World Food Prize Organization. In 2013, Dr. Chilton was awarded the World Food Prize, together with two other scientists with whom she sometimes competed and sometimes cooperated. A determined yet generous researcher — she and her husband were known for hosting visiting scientists and young researchers at their home, which was lovingly called the “Chilton Hilton (希尔顿酒店)”. They treated the visitors much like their extended family, with beer and pizza on Friday evenings, a collective lunch every working day. “She always encouraged her researchers to follow their curiosity, wherever it led them,” said Mike Bevan, who worked with Chilton for 30 years. Chilton was fondly called as the “queen of agrobacterium (农杆菌)”. “She was a wonderful leader,” said Mike Bevan, “enthusiastic and engaged, hugely supportive, and a highly knowledgeable and well-connected guide.” Growing up in the Chicago suburbs at a time when girls were seldom encouraged to study science, Dr. Chilton found her passion in a telescope-making group. “My mother showed me by example that women can do things in this world,” Dr. Chilton said of her mother, a successful businesswoman who had supported her scientific curiosity from a young age. Dr. Chilton passed away on June 24, 2026, at the age of 87, leaving behind a lasting legacy in agricultural science. 24. What was Dr. Chilton’s major scientific contribution? A. She discovered the structure of DNA. B. She created the first genetically modified plant. C. She found a cure for plant diseases worldwide. D. She founded the World Food Prize Organization. 25. What does the nickname “Chilton Hilton” suggest about Dr. Chilton? A. She preferred working at home. B. She once worked in the hotel industry. C. She was very welcoming to the visitors. D. She was known for being strict with researchers. 26. What can we learn about Dr. Chilton’s early life? A. Her mother backed her interest in science. B. She was the only girl in her science classes. C. She was born into a family of famous scientists. D. She showed no interest in science until college. 27. Which best describes Chilton’s attitude to being a woman in science? A. She felt it was an unfair disadvantage. B. She avoided talking about the topic publicly. C. She believed women were naturally better scientists. D. She focused on being the best rather than complaining. C Eric Stallard, a brain researcher, began looking into the rate of dementia (痴呆) among elderly Americans. He was so shocked by his findings that he put off publishing his first paper for two and a half years while he double-checked his work. “I wanted to be absolutely certain,” he recalls, since the numbers went against all expectations. Instead of confirming the widely-held belief that dementia was becoming an increasingly serious problem in America, they showed that the proportion old people suffering from it was in fact decreasing rapidly. “I was shocked by the declines,” he says. Stallard has been working for a decade to confirm this discovery. His findings have, if anything, become even more striking. Last year he and some colleagues published research showing that, while 40 years ago three in ten Americans aged 85-89 had dementia, by 2024 just one in ten had it. America is not the only one to benefit from this trend. Between 1988 and 2015 the share of older people being diagnosed with dementia fell by 13% per decade across six countries in North America and Europe, according to a study of almost 50,000 people. But the good news is largely limited to rich countries, at least for now. The single biggest risk factor for dementia is age. The rate doubles roughly every five years after 70. In America in 2016, just 4% of people aged 70-74 had dementia, but the rate jumped to 9% for those who were 75-79 and again to 18% for 80-to 84-year-olds. This pattern, combined with long life expectancy, has led to alarming predictions. A study predicts that the global population of people with dementia will almost triple from around 57 million in 2019 to 153 million in 2050. But if dementia rates continue to fall, these predictions may be too pessimistic. Researchers have identified 14 changeable risk factors, including education, hearing loss, high blood pressure, and social isolation. They estimate that about 45% of dementia cases could be delayed or prevented by addressing these factors. 28. Why did Stallard delay publishing his findings? A. He lacked sufficient data. B. He wanted to confirm the results. C. He was waiting for peer review. D. He doubted the widely held belief. 29. What was Stallard’s most surprising finding? A. Dementia rates were falling. B. Dementia becomes more serious. C. America had the highest dementia rate. D. More women were affected than men. 30. What can be inferred about dementia from the last two paragraphs? A. It cannot be prevented. B. Age is not a significant risk factor. C. It is more common among older people. D. It mainly affects those who are under 70. 31. What is the main message of the passage? A. Dementia is an unavoidable result of aging. B. Dementia rates will continue to rise globally. C. Rich countries have solved the dementia problem. D. The dementia situation is less alarming than expected. D People working with artificial intelligence (AI) tend to outperform those without it on tasks well-suited for AI, such as writing text, organizing research and generating ideas. In controlled experiments, researchers have seen great improvements — at least in the short term. In a 2026 study, Ethan Mollick at the Wharton School and his colleagues reported what happened when they gave AI assistance to hundreds of consultants at Boston Consulting Group (BCG). Those using AI completed 12% more tasks and finished them 25% faster on average. For tasks within AI’s abilities, the work quality was judged to be much higher. However, other research paints a more worrying picture. A team led by Grace Liu of Carnegie Mellon University tested how AI affected people’s thinking ability to solve math problems. When people who had used AI later lost access to the tool, they performed worse than those who had never used AI at all. The effect appeared after just 10 minutes of AI assistance — people became less capable of solving problems on their own. Another team led by Steven Shaw from Wharton explored this further by controlling the accuracy of AI answers given to participants. In their 2026 study involving more than 1,300 people, they observed something they called “cognitive surrender” — a state in which users simply agree with the AI’s judgment as their own without thinking critically. When the AI was correct, accuracy jumped 25% above the usual level. But when the AI was wrong, accuracy dropped 15% below. Either way, people felt more confident in their answers. A 2024 review of 106 AI experiments in the journal Nature Human Behavior revealed a key finding: when humans are better than AI at a task, the human-AI team performs better than either working alone. But when AI is better, the team actually performs worse than the AI by itself, probably because people cannot tell when to trust the machine and when to trust themselves. Evidence is also building that AI harms learning when it removes mental effort. A large study of 27,000 Chinese students found that test scores dropped when students used AI to speed through their homework. But students who asked AI for explanations and follow-up questions, rather than just for answers, largely kept their learning. As one researcher wisely put it: “The goal shouldn’t be to use AI to avoid thinking. It should be to use AI to deepen thinking.” 32. What’s the result of the Boston Consulting Group study? A. AI replaced most consultants’ jobs. B. AI improved consultants’ work efficiency. C. Only simple tasks could benefit from AI. D. There was no difference between the two groups. 33. What does “cognitive surrender” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Users refusing to use AI in their work. B. Users becoming smarter through AI use. C. Users carefully checking AI-generated answers. D. Users accepting AI’s views without questioning. 34. What does the 2024 review of 106 AI experiments find? A. People trust the machine more than themselves. B. The human-AI team is more effective than AI alone. C. AI always performs better than humans working alone. D. The human-AI team works best if humans are smarter. 35. What does the study of Chinese students suggest about using AI for learning? A. Students should not be allowed to use AI. B. Using AI for homework damages learning. C. How AI is used matters more than whether it is used. D. AI explanations are less helpful than direct answers. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。 If you ask people how today’s children are doing, you will likely get an earful of complaints and concerns. Many believe that children today are less resilient, less empathetic, and less mentally healthy than previous generations. Headlines frequently warn of a youth crisis, and many parents quietly worry about the future. 36 Studies suggest that young people today are, in many ways, doing better than those of previous generations. Their basic literacy (素养) and curiosity have improved. They are more empathetic, more open-minded and inclusive than those 50 years ago. 37 Konrath and her colleagues surveyed nearly 700 adolescents and found that 73% had volunteered or donated to charities. 38 Many factors are probably at play, but experts believe that changes in parenting and educational styles could be an important driver. One significant change in parenting is a greater focus on emotional literacy. “Over the past 15 years of clinical work, many young children have come in with a richer emotional vocabulary than those I saw earlier in my career,” says Tracy, a clinical psychologist. Meanwhile, more schools have introduced social and emotional learning programs that encourage empathy and self-control. What about the role of social media? It is often blamed for damaging young people. Even experts support banning smartphones in schools. 39 Some studies, however, find that technology may be helping kids connect with others, find support, and learn about world issues. “It can make them more thoughtful, conscious citizens,” Konrath says. So why does the negative view of young people remain so common? One reason is that our minds are built to notice threats. Our ancestors who noticed danger were more likely to survive, which may explain why negative information attracts more attention than positive news. Cognitive (认知的) biases also make people remember the past as better than it actually was. 40 Today’s young people are, on the whole, doing quite well. A. The big question is why. B. They are more willing to offer help, too. C. Yet the recent research tells a different story. D. There is no doubt that social media poses risks. E. Older generations were clearly happier and healthier. F. They fear their children may struggle to find decent jobs. G. Whatever the reason, the negative view rarely matches reality. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Erling Haaland was walking slowly, head down, around the field against Brazil.

White Rabbit, 56 (launch) in 1959, has long been a household name in China. It was born in an era of material shortage, when sweets were a rare luxury. Although the times have improved, its packaging has remained 57 (virtual) unchanged. The wrapper, 58 (feature) a seated white rabbit against a red background, won a national packaging award in 1983 and now draws millions of views overseas. On platform X, a post 59 (receive) about 6 million views and 260,000 likes since. Shi Anbin, 60 professor from Tsinghua University, linked the trend 61 what he described as a broader movement, in which young people overseas have embraced traditional Chinese practices.

While his classmates signed up for basketball and cycling, he stayed indoors with his books. At every school sports meeting, he found an excuse — a stomachache, a library duty, a forgotten uniform. Nobody made fun of him; they simply forgot he existed on the field. Everything changed when Mr. Foster took over the PE class this term. The new teacher announced that every student would run 1,500 metres at the end of the term, and the result would count toward the final grade. Jared’s heart sank. That evening, he complained to his grandfather, expecting sympathy. However, the old man put down his newspaper and smiled. “When I was a bus conductor,” Grandpa said, “I climbed the stairs of a double-decker (双层公共汽车) bus two hundred times a day. I never trained for it. My legs grew strong, one stair at a time.” “A bus is not a running track,” Jared argued. “The stairs to our flat aren’t a track either,” Grandpa replied. “Or the road to school. You pass a hundred ‘tracks’ every day and never run on any of them.” So Jared started small, almost as a joke. Instead of taking the lift, he raced up the stairs to the sixth floor at school. When the bus came near his stop, he got off two blocks early and jogged home. Between classes, he took the long way to the lab, quickening his pace until his breathing grew heavy. None of it felt like training. Yet slowly, wonderfully, the stairs stopped burning his legs, and the two-block jog changed into five. One evening in the third week, his grandfather timed him with an old stopwatch (秒表) as he climbed. “Forty seconds faster than the day you started,” Grandpa announced, as proudly as if he were reporting a world record. Jared laughed, but that night he drew a simple chart on paper and pinned it above his desk, adding a fresh mark each day. Still, a doubt was in his mind: the other boys had trained for years. Could climbing stairs really work? 注意： 1．续写的词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On the morning of the test, Jared walked to the starting line. When Jared finally crossed the finish line, his classmates were shouting his name. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
