If you’re planning a self-drive tour of Scotland, there are many scenic routes that will take you through breathtaking landscapes, charming towns and beautiful coastlines.
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.
1. Which route is the shortest in distance?
A. Moray Firth Route. B. SnowRoads Scenic Route.
C. Argyll Coastal Route. D. South West Coastal 300.
2. 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.
3. 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.

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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.

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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.”
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.

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. ____16____
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. ____17____ Konrath and her colleagues surveyed nearly 700 adolescents and found that 73% had volunteered or donated to charities.
____18____ 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. ____19____ 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. ____20____ 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.

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。
Jared Miller had spent most of his seventeen years avoiding any activities that made him sweat. 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?

1.续写的词数应为150左右;

On the morning of the test, Jared walked to the starting line.

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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了研究发现欧美发达国家老年痴呆患病率持续下降,但全球患者总数仍预计大增;改善多种可控危险因素,有望预防或延缓近半数病例。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“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.(他对自己的发现感到震惊,因此推迟了两年半才发表第一篇论文,期间反复核对研究数据。“我想要完全确定,”他回忆道,因为这些数字完全出乎所有人的预料)”可知,Stallard想要确认研究结果。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“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.(他们并未证实普遍认为的痴呆症在美国正日益严重这一观点,而是证明了患此病的老年人比例实际上正在迅速下降)”以及第二段“I was shocked by the declines(我被这种下降震惊了)”可知,他最令人惊讶的发现是痴呆症的发病率在下降。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“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.(70岁之后,发病率大约每五年翻一番。2016年在美国,仅有4%的70至74岁人群患有痴呆症,但这一比例在75至79岁人群中上升至9%,在80至84岁人群中进一步增至18%)”可知,年龄越大患病率越高,即痴呆症在老年人中更为常见。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一、二、三段指出研究发现痴呆症的发病率实际上在下降,这打破了人们认为其日益严重的普遍认知;第五段进一步总结,虽然人口老龄化导致了全球痴呆症患者总数增加的悲观预测,但“如果发病率继续下降,这些预测可能过于悲观”,并且指出约45%的病例是可以延缓或预防的。综合全文,文章想要传达的主要信息是:痴呆症的现状和未来并没有人们预期的那么令人担忧(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.”
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】主要说明了AI 能助力适配任务提升效率质量,但会引发认知投降,使人丧失独立思考;只有善用 AI 求索而非直接获取答案,才不会损害学习能力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Those using AI completed 12% more tasks and finished them 25% faster on average.(使用人工智能的用户平均完成的任务数量比未使用人工智能的顾问多12%,完成时间也快了25%)”可知,波士顿咨询集团的研究结果表明,AI显著提高了顾问的工作效率。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段破折号后对“cognitive surrender”的解释:“a state in which users simply agree with the AI’s judgment as their own without thinking critically(用户不加批判地直接将AI的判断作为自己的判断而予以同意的状态)”可知,该词组指的是用户不加质疑地接受AI的观点。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“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.(但当人工智能更优秀时,团队的表现反而比人工智能本身还要差,这可能是因为人们无法判断何时该信任机器,何时该相信自己)”可知,2024年的回顾研究发现,如果人类在任务中表现更出色,人机团队的合作效果最好。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.”(越来越多的证据表明,人工智能在削弱认知努力时会对学习造成损害。一项针对2.7万名中国学生的大型研究发现,当学生使用人工智能快速完成作业时,他们的考试成绩有所下降。但那些向人工智能寻求解释和后续问题的学生,而非仅仅获取答案,通常能更好地保持学习效果。正如一位研究者睿智地指出:“目标不应是利用人工智能来回避思考,而应是通过人工智能来深化思考。”)”可知,用AI直接快速完成作业的学生成绩下降了,而利用AI寻求解释和深入提问的学生则保持了良好的学习效果。这表明AI对学习的影响完全取决于学生使用它的方式,即“如何使用AI”比“是否使用AI”更重要。
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. ____16____
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. ____17____ Konrath and her colleagues surveyed nearly 700 adolescents and found that 73% had volunteered or donated to charities.
____18____ 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. ____19____ 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. ____20____ 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.
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. D 20. G
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了研究表明现在的青少年素养、好奇心、同理心与包容度都优于上一代人并分析其原因。
【16题详解】
根据上文“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.(很多人认为,如今的孩子比上几代人抗压能力更弱、共情能力更差、心理健康水平更低。新闻头条常常警示青年危机,不少家长暗自为孩子的未来感到担忧。)”和下文“Studies suggest that young people today are, in many ways, doing better than those of previous generations.( 研究表明,在很多方面,现在的年轻人比上几代人表现更好。)”可知,前文讲大众普遍对当代年轻人充满负面担忧,后文转而引出研究显示年轻人在很多方面表现更好,此处需要一个转折句衔接前后反差,C选项“然而近期的研究却讲述了一个截然不同的故事。”完美承上启下。
【17题详解】
根据上文“They are more empathetic, more open-minded and inclusive than those 50 years ago.(相比50年前的人,他们更富有同理心,思想更加开放包容。)”和下文“Konrath and her colleagues surveyed nearly 700 adolescents and found that 73% had volunteered or donated to charities.(康拉斯及其同事调查了近700名青少年,发现73%的人参与过志愿活动或向慈善机构捐款。)”可知,上文提到提到当代青少年更有同理心、思想更开放包容,下文紧接着给出73%的青少年做过志愿或慈善捐赠的调研数据,B选项“他们也更愿意伸出援手。”作为递进句,自然引出后文的助人行为佐证。
【18题详解】
空处为段落主题句。根据下文“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.(多种因素可能共同起作用,但专家认为育儿方式和教育模式的改变或许是重要原因。育儿方面一个显著变化是更加重视情绪素养。)”可知,本段整段用来解释“当代青少年共情等能力更强”的原因。A项“关键问题是原因是什么。”作为本段主题句,开启下文原因分析。
【19题详解】
根据上文“What about the role of social media? It is often blamed for damaging young people. Even experts support banning smartphones in schools.(社交媒体带来了什么影响?它常被指责对青少年造成伤害。甚至专家也支持在校内禁用智能手机。)”和下文“Some studies, however, find that technology may be helping kids connect with others, find support, and learn about world issues. (不过,一些研究发现科技或许能帮助孩子与人建立联系、获得支持,并了解世界大事。)”可知,上文承认社交媒体的弊端,下文再用however转折引出它的积极作用,形成“先抑后扬”的逻辑。D选项“毫无疑问社交媒体确实存在风险。”符合语境。
【20题详解】
根据上文“One reason is that our minds are built to notice threats.…Cognitive (认知的) biases also make people remember the past as better than it actually was.( 其中一个原因是,人类大脑天生就会留意危险信号。……认知偏见也会让人们美化记忆中的过去,认为往昔比实际情况更好。)”和下文“Today’s young people are, on the whole, doing quite well. (总体来看,当代年轻人的状态相当不错。)”可知,上文分析了人们对年轻人保留负面印象的两大认知层面原因,下文总结当代年轻人整体表现很不错,G选项“无论原因是什么,这种负面看法几乎都与现实不符。”收束前文的原因分析,呼应全文核心观点。

【答案】 Which Works Better: Peer Learning or Independent Learning?
From my perspective, peer learning works better for most students.
With classmates working together, we can share different ideas, solving problems more efficiently. Not only does it deepen our understanding, but it also builds communication skills. If time permits, group discussions often spark creative solutions that we might never discover alone.
That said, independent learning still matters. What we should do is combine both approaches, using peer learning to exchange ideas while developing self-study habits. Only in this way can we achieve real academic growth.

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。
Jared Miller had spent most of his seventeen years avoiding any activities that made him sweat. 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?

【答案】 On the morning of the test, Jared walked to the starting line. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart. Watching the confident boys around him, the last trace of doubt crept into his mind again. However, he quickly cheered himself up, thinking of all the daily jogs and stair climbs he had stuck to. The sharp whistle rang out suddenly, and all the students dashed forward. Keeping his usual steady pace, Jared avoided rushing blindly. Gradually, many runners grew tired and slowed down, while he kept moving steadily, his body familiar with the tiredness of exercise.
When Jared finally crossed the finish line, his classmates were shouting his name. Loud cheers burst out around the playground. No one had expected the boy who once feared sports so much to finish the tough 1500-meter run so excellently. Sweating heavily but wearing a bright smile, Jared felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. He finally understood his grandpa’s words: persistent small efforts are the secret to breaking limits and achieving progress.
