The park offers visitors a chance to walk among these giant trees and enjoy a quiet break from city life. Before You Go Reservations are required for personal vehicles. Before arriving, check your parking reservation, as it includes a specific arrival time. So plan your trip carefully, especially on weekends and holidays when spaces may sell out. There is no cell-phone service in the forest. Download your parking reservation and the free NPS app before leaving home. The app can provide maps and other information even when you are offline. Plan Your Visit Muir Woods is open every day of the year, except when safety conditions require a closure. Its closing time changes with the seasons. Season Park Hours Early Spring 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. Late Spring 8:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. Summer 8:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. Late Summer 8:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. Fall 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. Winter 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. The Visitor Center opens at 8:00 a.m. and closes 30 minutes before the park does. Visitors can get maps, ask questions, and receive trip-planning advice there. Explore the Woods Muir Woods offers walks for visitors with different amounts of time. The Short Loop takes about 30 minutes and stays close to the main redwood area. The Medium Loop, which takes about an hour, allows visitors to go farther into the forest while still returning to the main path in a reasonable time. For those who want a longer walk, the Long Loop takes about an hour and a half and offers a deeper experience of the forest. In addition to walking the trails, visitors can take part in other activities. Park staff-led programs, usually lasting about 30 minutes, are offered when available. 1. What is required for visitors who plan to drive to Muir Woods? A. A cell phone. B. An entrance pass. C. A parking reservation. D. A map of Muir Woods. 2. In which season can visitors stay the longest? A. Early spring. B. Late spring. C. Summer. D. Fall. 3. Which activity is best for a one-hour visit? A. The Long Loop. B. The Medium Loop. C. The Short Loop. D. A park staff-led program. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍Muir Woods纪念地，说明了自驾预约、手机无信号等出行须知，公园分季节开放时间以及三种时长不同的林间游览路线。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Before You Go部分“Reservations are required for personal vehicles.(私家车需要预约停车位。)”可知，自驾游客需要停车预约。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Season和Park Hours部分“Summer 8:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m.(夏季：早上8点到晚上8点。)”以及其它季节的时间可知，夏季公园开放时长最长，游客停留时间最久。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Explore the Woods部分“The Medium Loop, which takes about an hour, allows visitors to go farther into the forest while still returning to the main path in a reasonable time.(中等环线大约需要一小时，游客可以深入森林，还能在合适的时间回到主路。)”可知，一小时游览适合选择中等环线。 B Every autumn, I give my first-year college students an unusual writing task. I ask them to imagine that they are alone at an old telephone booth (电话亭) in the Mojave Desert. The night is quiet, and there is no one for miles. Suddenly, the phone rings. “Who is calling?” I ask. Students must explain not only who is calling but also why that person has chosen to call them. The idea came from a real telephone booth that once stood in the California desert. Travelers visited it because anyone, from anywhere, might call. Although the booth has disappeared, I wondered whether an unexpected call could open an unexpected conversation. So I turned the idea into a writing task. When I first used it, I expected many kinds of answers. Some students imagined conversations with historical figures; others received calls from grandparents they had never met or strangers asking for help. But one choice appeared again and again: students imagined receiving a call from an older version of themselves. At first, I thought this simply happened by chance. Then the same pattern appeared semester after semester. Curious, I reread dozens of stories, paying attention not to who was calling but to what was being said. The future selves rarely talked about wealth, fame or great success. Instead, they offered words of comfort. They told their younger selves that failure would pass, loneliness would disappear gradually and life would become larger than today’s worries. Then I understood. These imagined callers were not predicting the future. They were giving words to hopes the students already carried but had never expressed. By imagining someone who did not exist, students found a safe way to speak honestly about the lives they were living. The telephone booth, then, is not really the destination. It is a doorway. Sometimes imagination does not take us away from reality; it helps us see it more clearly. The voice we are waiting to hear may have been our own all along. 4. Why did the author use the desert booth setting? A. To honor the desert booth. B. To promote travel in the desert. C. To encourage imaginative writing. D. To analyse students’ inner thoughts. 5. What caught the author’s attention? A. The same kind of caller. B. The fear of loneliness. C. The absence of grandparents. D. The wide variety of answers. 6. Why did the author reread the students’ stories? A. To find writing mistakes. B. To understand their repeated choices. C. To select the best stories. D. To compare their emotions. 7. What does the telephone booth represent in the passage? A. A symbol of unanswered questions. B. A chance to meet unexpected people. C. A path to self-understanding. D. A doorway to escape reality. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者给大一学生布置沙漠电话亭想象写作任务。学生大多设想接到未来自己的来电，这一想象帮助他们直面内心，获得自我理解。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Every autumn, I give my first-year college students an unusual writing task. I ask them to imagine that they are alone at an old telephone booth (电话亭) in the Mojave Desert. The night is quiet, and there is no one for miles. Suddenly, the phone rings. “Who is calling?” I ask. Students must explain not only who is calling but also why that person has chosen to call them.(每年秋天，我都会给大一新生布置一项别出心裁的写作任务。我让他们想象自己独自一人站在莫哈韦沙漠的一间老式电话亭里。夜晚安静，方圆数英里内都无人。突然，电话响了。“谁在打电话？”我问道。学生们不仅需要说明来电者是谁，还要解释对方为何选择打电话给他们)”以及第二段“So I turned the idea into a writing task.(于是，我将这个想法转化为一项写作任务)”可知，作者使用沙漠电话亭的场景是为了鼓励富有想象力的写作。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But one choice appeared again and again: students imagined receiving a call from an older version of themselves.(但一个选择却反复出现：学生们想象着接到年长版的自己电话)”可知，同类型的来电引起了作者的注意。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“At first, I thought this simply happened by chance. Then the same pattern appeared semester after semester. Curious, I reread dozens of stories, paying attention not to who was calling but to what was being said.(起初，我以为这只是偶然发生的事。但这一模式却一学期接一学期出现。出于好奇，我重新读了数十个故事，注意的不是谁在打电话，而是对方说了什么)”可知，作者重读学生的故事是为了理解他们反复做出的选择。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The telephone booth, then, is not really the destination. It is a doorway. Sometimes imagination does not take us away from reality; it helps us see it more clearly. The voice we are waiting to hear may have been our own all along.(因此，电话亭并不是真正的目的地，而只是一个入口。有时，想象力并不会让我们远离现实，反而帮助我们更清晰地看到它。我们等待听到的声音，或许从一开始就是属于自己的)”可知，电话亭在文中象征着通往自我理解的道路。 C One afternoon, while studying sperm whales in the Atlantic Ocean, I found myself floating quietly beside a whale named Pinchy. For a few moments, we simply looked at each other before she disappeared into the deep sea. Watching her swim away, I wondered what she might be saying if I could understand whale communication. That question has shaped much of my work as a marine biologist. Sperm whales communicate through a series of clicking sounds called codas. Scientists have collected thousands of these sounds over many years, but they still do not fully understand how the sounds are organized or what different patterns may mean. The rapid development of artificial intelligence offered a new possibility. Large language models can recognize hidden patterns in human language, so my colleagues and I began to ask whether similar technology could analyze whale communication. Using thousands of recorded codas, we trained an AI system to identify different sound patterns. The results were encouraging. It could correctly recognize different types of codas, whale families and even individual whales with remarkable accuracy. This prompted the creation of Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative), which brings together marine biologists, computer scientists and linguists. Our goal is to understand how whales communicate with one another. More recently, we developed the Whale Acoustics Model, an AI system designed to analyze whale sounds and generate whale-like sounds. Although we are still far from having real conversations with whales, these technologies are helping us take the first steps. The significance of this research goes far beyond marine biology. If whales possess a communication system more complex than our own, we may need to rethink the idea that language belongs only to humans. More importantly, the project shows that technology does not have to separate humans from nature. On the contrary, it can help us understand other living creatures and see our place in the natural world differently. This is perhaps where the real value of AI lies. It should not be measured only by how quickly it processes information or how efficiently it solves problems. Used with care, AI can help us listen more closely, learn more deeply and recognize that humans are only one part of a much larger living world. 8. What makes whale communication difficult to study? A. The volume of their sounds. B. The lack of their sound data. C. The frequency of their sounds. D. The organization of their sounds. 9. What did the AI system help researchers do? A. Observe more whales. B. Detect sound patterns. C. Discover new species. D. Identify whale habitats. 10. What does the underlined word “prompted” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Marked. B. Caused. C. Delayed. D. Prevented. 11. What does the research suggest? A. Nature should be controlled. B. Humans understand nature best. C. Language belongs to humans only. D. Technology can connect humans with nature. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍科研人员借助AI研究抹香鲸的声音交流，启动CETI项目，认为AI有助于人类理解自然，认识人类只是自然界的一部分。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists have collected thousands of these sounds over many years, but they still do not fully understand how the sounds are organized or what different patterns may mean.(多年来科学家已经收集了成千上万种这类声音，但他们仍然无法完全理解这些声音是如何组合的，以及不同的声音模式可能代表什么含义。)”可知，鲸鱼声音的组合方式让研究难以开展。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Using thousands of recorded codas, we trained an AI system to identify different sound patterns.(我们利用数千条录制的鲸鸣编码，训练人工智能系统去识别不同的声音模式。)”可知，人工智能帮助研究人员识别、检测声音模式。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“This prompted the creation of Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative), which brings together marine biologists, computer scientists and linguists.(这prompted CETI项目（鲸类翻译计划）的诞生，该项目汇集了海洋生物学家、计算机科学家和语言学家。)” 可知，此处指前文AI取得的成果促成了这个项目，所以猜测prompted意为“引起，促成”，和caused同义。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“More importantly, the project shows that technology does not have to separate humans from nature.(更重要的是，该项目表明技术不一定会将人类与大自然隔离开。)”可知，这项研究表明技术能够连接人类与自然。 D About 2,000 years ago, the Roman philosopher Seneca warned of a crisis of attention. The problem wasn’t caused by smartphones but by the growing availability of papyrus (纸莎草纸). As scrolls (卷轴) became more plentiful and wealthy readers had access to more texts than ever before, constantly moving from one scroll to another left their mind unable to stay in one place and spend time with itself. Today, although the source of distraction has changed, the challenge remains much the same. We often blame technology for our inability to focus, but Seneca would have argued that the real problem lies elsewhere. Constantly jumping from one idea to another prevents deep thinking. Seneca offered a surprisingly simple solution. Instead of reading as much as possible, choose one meaningful idea each day and stay with it. Think about it repeatedly, connect it with your own experiences and allow it to shape the way you understand the world. According to Seneca, wisdom comes not from collecting ideas but from fully digesting them. I have followed this practice for many years. One morning, while reading Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich, I was struck by the character’s realization that success and wealth mean little without love, friendship and purpose. I carried that idea with me throughout the day. It gradually reshaped my thinking, inspiring me to reconnect with old friends. Seneca compared this process to the way bees make honey. Bees do not simply collect nectar (花蜜); they transform it into something richer and longer lasting. Psychologists describe a similar process as deep processing. When we return to the same idea again and again, our brains connect it with personal experience and store it more firmly in long-term memory. Information gradually becomes understanding, and understanding slowly becomes wisdom. In an age when information is everywhere, many people believe that learning means knowing more. Seneca reminds us that real wisdom comes from slowing down, thinking deeply and allowing meaningful ideas to become part of who we are. 12. What is the papyrus example intended to show? A. Distraction has long existed. B. Writing materials have changed. C. Reading was once for the rich. D. Technology in Rome was advanced. 13. What did the practice of “one meaningful idea each day” lead the author to do? A. Restore old friendships. B. Read more books. C. Give up the pursuit of wealth. D. Write down daily thoughts. 14. What is Seneca’s comparison used to explain? A. How bees make honey. B. Why ideas shape who we are. C. Why memory needs repetition. D. How information becomes wisdom. 15. Which statement would Seneca agree with according to the passage? A. A busy mind is a wise mind. B. Doubt is the key to knowledge. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. One who is everywhere is nowhere. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了古罗马哲学家塞涅卡提出的注意力危机，指出分心自古存在，主张每日专注一个观点深度思考，借蜜蜂酿蜜阐释信息转化为智慧的道理。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“About 2,000 years ago, the Roman philosopher Seneca warned of a crisis of attention. The problem wasn’t caused by smartphones but by the growing availability of papyrus (纸莎草纸). As scrolls (卷轴) became more plentiful and wealthy readers had access to more texts than ever before, constantly moving from one scroll to another left their mind unable to stay in one place and spend time with itself. (大约2000年前，古罗马哲学家塞涅卡就警示了注意力危机。该问题并非智能手机造成，而是纸莎草越来越容易获取。随着卷轴数量增多，富有的读者能读到比以往更多的文本，他们不断从一个卷轴换到另一个，这让他们的思绪无法安定下来。)”可知，纸莎草的例子意在说明分心现象由来已久。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead of reading as much as possible, choose one meaningful idea each day and stay with it. (不要尽可能多地阅读，而是每天选择一个有意义的观点并潜心钻研。)”第四段“I have followed this practice for many years. One morning, while reading Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich, I was struck by the character’s realization that success and wealth mean little without love, friendship and purpose. I carried that idea with me throughout the day. It gradually reshaped my thinking, inspiring me to reconnect with old friends. (我坚持这个做法很多年了。一天早上读托尔斯泰的《伊凡・伊里奇之死》，书中人物的感悟深深触动了我：没有爱、友谊与人生目标，成功和财富便毫无意义。我一整天都在琢磨这个想法，它慢慢重塑了我的思考，激励我重新联系老朋友。)”可知，“每天一个有意义观点”的做法促使作者重拾旧友谊。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Seneca compared this process to the way bees make honey. Bees do not simply collect nectar (花蜜); they transform it into something richer and longer lasting. Psychologists describe a similar process as deep processing. When we return to the same idea again and again, our brains connect it with personal experience and store it more firmly in long-term memory. Information gradually becomes understanding, and understanding slowly becomes wisdom. (塞涅卡把这个过程比作蜜蜂酿蜜。蜜蜂不只是采集花蜜，而是将其转化成更丰富、更持久的东西。心理学家将类似过程称为深度加工。我们反复思考同一个观点时，大脑会把它和个人经历结合，牢牢储存在长期记忆中。信息慢慢变成理解，而理解逐步升华为智慧。)”可知，塞涅卡的比喻用来解释信息如何变成智慧。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Instead of reading as much as possible, choose one meaningful idea each day and stay with it. Think about it repeatedly, connect it with your own experiences and allow it to shape the way you understand the world. According to Seneca, wisdom comes not from collecting ideas but from fully digesting them. (不要尽可能多地阅读，而是每天选择一个有意义的观点并潜心钻研。反复思考，结合自身经历，让它塑造你认知世界的方式。塞涅卡认为，智慧并非来自收集观点，而是充分消化理解观点。)”可知，塞涅卡反对不断跳转想法、浅尝辄止，会认同“One who is everywhere is nowhere. (处处涉足，则无处扎根。)”这一说法。 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。 Interdependence, unlike pure independence (needing no one) or dependence (needing someone entirely), is a middle ground where individuals maintain their own identity while recognizing they function better together. ____16____ Examples include relationships, workplaces and even ecosystems. In an interdependent relationship, a person values emotional closeness while keeping a clear sense of self. ____17____ Healthy interdependence features open communication, personal hobbies, and friendships outside the relationship. In workplaces, interdependence can take three forms. Pooled interdependence is the loosest form. Each person contributes to the whole but works mostly independently. If one does poorly, the others can make up for it. Sequential interdependence means one person’s output becomes the next person’s input. ____18____ Reciprocal interdependence is the most complex. Work moves in both directions, each one adjusting based on what the other produces. ____19____ Two species form a long-term association, like a certain fungus (菌类) and plant roots. The plant uses sunlight to produce sugars that feed the fungus. In return, the fungus sends its thin roots into the soil, absorbing water and nutrients the plant cannot reach alone. Interdependence requires specific habits. The first is recognizing that vulnerability (脆弱) is a feature, not a weakness. Being willing to ask for help and share your feelings is what creates genuine emotional closeness. Equally important is clear communication. Expressing your needs directly and listening to theirs are both essential. ____20____ Saying “I need time alone” or “I can’t take that on right now” isn’t a rejection of interdependence. It’s what keeps it healthy. A. That’s why it counts. B. It shows up everywhere. C. Ecology is also full of interdependence. D. Putting your own needs first is also crucial. E. If the first step stops, everything after that stops. F. Being honest about boundaries matters just as much. G. They can seek support without losing their own identity. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. E 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了相互依存的概念，它介于完全独立与完全依附之间，人保持自我同时协作更佳；从人际关系、职场、生态系统举例，说明维持健康相互依存的习惯。 【16题详解】 上文“Interdependence unlike pure independence (needing no one) or dependence (needing someone entirely), is a middle ground where individuals maintain their own identity while recognizing they function better together. (相互依存，不同于纯粹的独立（不需要任何人）或是完全的依赖（完全依靠某个人），是一种中间状态：个体保持独立的自我认同，同时明白彼此协作能发挥更好的作用。)”引出相互依存的定义。下文“Examples include relationships, workplaces and even ecosystems. (例子包括人际关系、职场，甚至生态系统。)”列举多处相互依存的场景。B选项“It shows up everywhere. (它随处可见)”承接上文的概念定义，引出下文的各类例子。 【17题详解】 上文“In an interdependent relationship, a person values emotional closeness while keeping a clear sense of self. (在相互依存的关系里，人珍视情感亲密，同时保有清晰的自我认知。)”介绍相互依存关系的特点。G选项“They can seek support without losing their own identity. (他们可以寻求支持，而不会丢失自我。)”承接上文，进一步解释相互依存关系里人的状态。 【18题详解】 上文“Sequential interdependence means one person’s output becomes the next person’s input. (顺序式相互依存指一个人的输出成为下一个人的输入。)”介绍顺序依存模式。E选项“If the first step stops, everything after that stops. (如果第一步中断，后面所有环节都会停止)”承接上文，解释顺序依存的特点。 【19题详解】 下文“Two species form a long-term association, like a certain fungus (菌类) and plant roots. (两个物种形成长期共生关系，例如某种真菌与植物根系)”介绍生态中的共生现象。C选项“Ecology is also full of interdependence. (生态领域也充满相互依存)”作为本段主题句，引出生态系统的例子。 【20题详解】 上文“Equally important is clear communication. Expressing your needs directly and listening to theirs are both essential. (清晰的沟通同样重要。直接表达自身需求、倾听对方诉求，二者都必不可少。)”指出维系相互依存关系的要素。下文“Saying “I need time alone” or “I can’t take that on right now” isn’t a rejection of interdependence. It’s what keeps it healthy. (说出‘我需要独处时间’或者‘我现在没法承担这件事’，并不是拒绝相互依存，这恰恰让它保持健康。)”提到独处和边界。F选项“Being honest about boundaries matters just as much. (坦诚对待边界同样重要。)”承接上文沟通的重要性，引出下文关于边界的表述。 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。 I longed for a name that was easier to say or remember. I didn’t want to ____21____ every time a teacher paused, unsure of how to say it, and all eyes turned to me. I wanted to feel that I ____22____. One evening, seeing I was ____23____ about my name again, my grandmother said, “Anahita was the name of the river, the ____24____ for our village. When it dried up, the village disappeared. My mother wanted us to ____25____ that we once belonged to something that gave us life. She made me promise I would never let that name ____26____. So I gave it to you.” I sat there ____27____, letting her words sink in. Something in me ____28____. I realized my name was more than a word people ____29____ to pronounce. Instead, it carried a story I had never bothered to understand. It was no longer a ____30____ that made me feel embarrassed, but a thread (线) connecting me to people I had never known and places I had never been to. I also started to wonder whether I had been looking for belonging in ____31____ places. That conversation ____32____ the way I thought about my name — with a quiet ____33____ I had not noticed before. I no longer wished it were easier or more ____34____. Instead, I felt grateful for a name carrying a river and a history — it reminded me that true ____35____ comes not from becoming like everyone else, but from knowing where I come from. 21.

He wanted to design an app that could identify different birds by their songs. Every afternoon after school, he sat at his desk wearing headphones, listening to one recording after another. Whenever the program confused one bird with another, he replayed the recording, adjusted the code, and tested it again. He was so buried in his digital world that when a real bird began to sing outside his open window one day, he found the sound distracting and simply shut the window. The project soon became part of Alex’s daily routine. He planned to present the app at the school science fair, so every new recording felt like another puzzle to solve. Some bird calls sounded almost identical, and the program often mixed them up. Instead of going outside, Alex searched online for more recordings and larger databases. The more data he collected, the more confident he became. Alex often shared his progress with his grandfather, a retired forest ranger (护林员) who had spent most of his life studying birds in the woods. Grandpa was pleased by the project but seemed more concerned about how Alex was learning. When Alex proudly mentioned his thousands of recordings, Grandpa asked whether he had ever listened to birds outside. Alex shook his head; online recordings were clearer and easier to analyze. Grandpa smiled and said, “Looking up isn’t the same as looking.” Alex didn’t quite understand. Two weeks before the science fair, Ms. Chen, the science teacher, asked Alex to test his app with recordings from a nearby nature reserve. Confident in his program, Alex expected good results. But it identified the wrong birds and became confused when two birds sang at the same time. The model worked almost perfectly with downloaded recordings but struggled with sounds from the real world. After class, Ms. Chen wrote on Alex’s report: A good model should begin with good observations. That evening, Alex told Grandpa about the comment. Grandpa looked at him and asked, “Would you like to find out what your recordings have been missing?” 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。 The next morning, Alex followed Grandpa into the woods where he had worked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two weeks later, Alex was ready for the science fair. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next morning, Alex followed Grandpa into the woods where he had worked. The forest was alive with sound, but not the kind Alex was used to. Grandpa whispered, “Close your eyes. Just listen.” Alex obeyed. At first, he heard only noise. Then he began to pick out different songs — a sharp whistle here, a soft trill there. Grandpa pointed to a small brown bird. “That’s a wren. Listen to how it repeats itself.” Alex recorded it, along with the setting, the time, and the bird’s behavior. For the first time, he felt a quiet sense of wonder at what his downloaded recordings had been missing: the life behind the sound. Two weeks later, Alex was ready for the science fair. His app now used real recordings from the woods. When judges tested it with live birds, it identified them correctly, even when two sang at once. Alex explained how observing birds in nature had taught him what no database could. He won second prize, and a surge of pride filled his chest. But more importantly, he understood Grandpa’s words: “Looking up isn’t the same as looking.” True understanding begins with paying attention to the real world around us. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Alex开发识别鸟鸣的APP为线索展开，讲述了Alex依靠网络录音完善程序，却无法处理真实野外鸟鸣。在爷爷引导下，他走进森林实地聆听鸟类，懂得真正的理解源于用心留意身边真实世界。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Alex跟随爷爷走入林间，在爷爷的指引下闭眼静心聆听，分辨出各类鸟鸣，同步记录环境、时间与鸟儿的行为，意识到网上下载的录音缺少声音背后鲜活的生机。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Alex带着改良后的APP参加科技展，作品成功识别现场鸟鸣，斩获二等奖。他领悟爷爷的话，明白真知来自对现实世界的用心关注。 2. 续写线索： 跟随爷爷进入森林→闭眼聆听鸟鸣→现场录音、记录环境与鸟类行为→领悟录音缺失的东西→科技展展示改良后的APP→程序成功识别鸟鸣→获奖，领悟观察现实世界的道理 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①低声说：whisper/murmur ②记录：record/note down/keep track of ③识别：identify/recognize/tell apart 情绪类 ①惊叹：a sense of wonder/a sense of awe/a feeling of amazement ②自豪：a surge of pride/a swell of pride/a burst of triumph 【点睛】【高分句型1】True understanding begins with paying attention to the real world around us.

The park offers visitors a chance to walk among these giant trees and enjoy a quiet break from city life. Before You Go Reservations are required for personal vehicles. Before arriving, check your parking reservation, as it includes a specific arrival time. So plan your trip carefully, especially on weekends and holidays when spaces may sell out. There is no cell-phone service in the forest. Download your parking reservation and the free NPS app before leaving home. The app can provide maps and other information even when you are offline. Plan Your Visit Muir Woods is open every day of the year, except when safety conditions require a closure. Its closing time changes with the seasons. Season Park Hours Early Spring 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. Late Spring 8:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. Summer 8:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. Late Summer 8:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. Fall 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. Winter 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. The Visitor Center opens at 8:00 a.m. and closes 30 minutes before the park does. Visitors can get maps, ask questions, and receive trip-planning advice there. Explore the Woods Muir Woods offers walks for visitors with different amounts of time. The Short Loop takes about 30 minutes and stays close to the main redwood area. The Medium Loop, which takes about an hour, allows visitors to go farther into the forest while still returning to the main path in a reasonable time. For those who want a longer walk, the Long Loop takes about an hour and a half and offers a deeper experience of the forest. In addition to walking the trails, visitors can take part in other activities. Park staff-led programs, usually lasting about 30 minutes, are offered when available. 1.

The Short Loop. D. A park staff-led program. B Every autumn, I give my first-year college students an unusual writing task. I ask them to imagine that they are alone at an old telephone booth (电话亭) in the Mojave Desert. The night is quiet, and there is no one for miles. Suddenly, the phone rings. “Who is calling?” I ask. Students must explain not only who is calling but also why that person has chosen to call them. The idea came from a real telephone booth that once stood in the California desert. Travelers visited it because anyone, from anywhere, might call. Although the booth has disappeared, I wondered whether an unexpected call could open an unexpected conversation. So I turned the idea into a writing task. When I first used it, I expected many kinds of answers. Some students imagined conversations with historical figures; others received calls from grandparents they had never met or strangers asking for help. But one choice appeared again and again: students imagined receiving a call from an older version of themselves. At first, I thought this simply happened by chance. Then the same pattern appeared semester after semester. Curious, I reread dozens of stories, paying attention not to who was calling but to what was being said. The future selves rarely talked about wealth, fame or great success. Instead, they offered words of comfort. They told their younger selves that failure would pass, loneliness would disappear gradually and life would become larger than today’s worries. Then I understood. These imagined callers were not predicting the future. They were giving words to hopes the students already carried but had never expressed. By imagining someone who did not exist, students found a safe way to speak honestly about the lives they were living. The telephone booth, then, is not really the destination. It is a doorway. Sometimes imagination does not take us away from reality; it helps us see it more clearly. The voice we are waiting to hear may have been our own all along. 4. Why did the author use the desert booth setting? A. To honor the desert booth. B. To promote travel in the desert. C. To encourage imaginative writing. D. To analyse students’ inner thoughts. 5. What caught the author’s attention? A. The same kind of caller. B. The fear of loneliness. C. The absence of grandparents. D. The wide variety of answers. 6. Why did the author reread the students’ stories? A. To find writing mistakes. B. To understand their repeated choices. C. To select the best stories. D. To compare their emotions. 7. What does the telephone booth represent in the passage? A. A symbol of unanswered questions. B. A chance to meet unexpected people. C. A path to self-understanding. D. A doorway to escape reality. C One afternoon, while studying sperm whales in the Atlantic Ocean, I found myself floating quietly beside a whale named Pinchy. For a few moments, we simply looked at each other before she disappeared into the deep sea. Watching her swim away, I wondered what she might be saying if I could understand whale communication. That question has shaped much of my work as a marine biologist. Sperm whales communicate through a series of clicking sounds called codas. Scientists have collected thousands of these sounds over many years, but they still do not fully understand how the sounds are organized or what different patterns may mean. The rapid development of artificial intelligence offered a new possibility. Large language models can recognize hidden patterns in human language, so my colleagues and I began to ask whether similar technology could analyze whale communication. Using thousands of recorded codas, we trained an AI system to identify different sound patterns. The results were encouraging. It could correctly recognize different types of codas, whale families and even individual whales with remarkable accuracy. This prompted the creation of Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative), which brings together marine biologists, computer scientists and linguists. Our goal is to understand how whales communicate with one another. More recently, we developed the Whale Acoustics Model, an AI system designed to analyze whale sounds and generate whale-like sounds. Although we are still far from having real conversations with whales, these technologies are helping us take the first steps. The significance of this research goes far beyond marine biology. If whales possess a communication system more complex than our own, we may need to rethink the idea that language belongs only to humans. More importantly, the project shows that technology does not have to separate humans from nature. On the contrary, it can help us understand other living creatures and see our place in the natural world differently. This is perhaps where the real value of AI lies. It should not be measured only by how quickly it processes information or how efficiently it solves problems. Used with care, AI can help us listen more closely, learn more deeply and recognize that humans are only one part of a much larger living world. 8. What makes whale communication difficult to study? A. The volume of their sounds. B. The lack of their sound data. C. The frequency of their sounds. D. The organization of their sounds. 9. What did the AI system help researchers do? A. Observe more whales. B. Detect sound patterns. C. Discover new species. D. Identify whale habitats. 10. What does the underlined word “prompted” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Marked. B. Caused. C. Delayed. D. Prevented. 11. What does the research suggest? A. Nature should be controlled. B. Humans understand nature best. C. Language belongs to humans only. D. Technology can connect humans with nature. D About 2,000 years ago, the Roman philosopher Seneca warned of a crisis of attention. The problem wasn’t caused by smartphones but by the growing availability of papyrus (纸莎草纸). As scrolls (卷轴) became more plentiful and wealthy readers had access to more texts than ever before, constantly moving from one scroll to another left their mind unable to stay in one place and spend time with itself. Today, although the source of distraction has changed, the challenge remains much the same. We often blame technology for our inability to focus, but Seneca would have argued that the real problem lies elsewhere. Constantly jumping from one idea to another prevents deep thinking. Seneca offered a surprisingly simple solution. Instead of reading as much as possible, choose one meaningful idea each day and stay with it. Think about it repeatedly, connect it with your own experiences and allow it to shape the way you understand the world. According to Seneca, wisdom comes not from collecting ideas but from fully digesting them. I have followed this practice for many years. One morning, while reading Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich, I was struck by the character’s realization that success and wealth mean little without love, friendship and purpose. I carried that idea with me throughout the day. It gradually reshaped my thinking, inspiring me to reconnect with old friends. Seneca compared this process to the way bees make honey. Bees do not simply collect nectar (花蜜); they transform it into something richer and longer lasting. Psychologists describe a similar process as deep processing. When we return to the same idea again and again, our brains connect it with personal experience and store it more firmly in long-term memory. Information gradually becomes understanding, and understanding slowly becomes wisdom. In an age when information is everywhere, many people believe that learning means knowing more. Seneca reminds us that real wisdom comes from slowing down, thinking deeply and allowing meaningful ideas to become part of who we are. 12. What is the papyrus example intended to show? A. Distraction has long existed. B. Writing materials have changed. C. Reading was once for the rich. D. Technology in Rome was advanced. 13. What did the practice of “one meaningful idea each day” lead the author to do? A. Restore old friendships. B. Read more books. C. Give up the pursuit of wealth. D. Write down daily thoughts. 14. What is Seneca’s comparison used to explain? A. How bees make honey. B. Why ideas shape who we are. C. Why memory needs repetition. D. How information becomes wisdom. 15.

In an interdependent relationship, a person values emotional closeness while keeping a clear sense of self. ____17____ Healthy interdependence features open communication, personal hobbies, and friendships outside the relationship. In workplaces, interdependence can take three forms. Pooled interdependence is the loosest form. Each person contributes to the whole but works mostly independently. If one does poorly, the others can make up for it. Sequential interdependence means one person’s output becomes the next person’s input. ____18____ Reciprocal interdependence is the most complex. Work moves in both directions, each one adjusting based on what the other produces. ____19____ Two species form a long-term association, like a certain fungus (菌类) and plant roots. The plant uses sunlight to produce sugars that feed the fungus. In return, the fungus sends its thin roots into the soil, absorbing water and nutrients the plant cannot reach alone. Interdependence requires specific habits. The first is recognizing that vulnerability (脆弱) is a feature, not a weakness. Being willing to ask for help and share your feelings is what creates genuine emotional closeness. Equally important is clear communication. Expressing your needs directly and listening to theirs are both essential. ____20____ Saying “I need time alone” or “I can’t take that on right now” isn’t a rejection of interdependence. It’s what keeps it healthy. A. That’s why it counts. B. It shows up everywhere. C. Ecology is also full of interdependence. D. Putting your own needs first is also crucial. E. If the first step stops, everything after that stops. F. Being honest about boundaries matters just as much. G. They can seek support without losing their own identity. 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。 I longed for a name that was easier to say or remember.

He wanted to design an app that could identify different birds by their songs. Every afternoon after school, he sat at his desk wearing headphones, listening to one recording after another. Whenever the program confused one bird with another, he replayed the recording, adjusted the code, and tested it again. He was so buried in his digital world that when a real bird began to sing outside his open window one day, he found the sound distracting and simply shut the window. The project soon became part of Alex’s daily routine. He planned to present the app at the school science fair, so every new recording felt like another puzzle to solve. Some bird calls sounded almost identical, and the program often mixed them up. Instead of going outside, Alex searched online for more recordings and larger databases. The more data he collected, the more confident he became. Alex often shared his progress with his grandfather, a retired forest ranger (护林员) who had spent most of his life studying birds in the woods. Grandpa was pleased by the project but seemed more concerned about how Alex was learning. When Alex proudly mentioned his thousands of recordings, Grandpa asked whether he had ever listened to birds outside. Alex shook his head; online recordings were clearer and easier to analyze. Grandpa smiled and said, “Looking up isn’t the same as looking.” Alex didn’t quite understand. Two weeks before the science fair, Ms. Chen, the science teacher, asked Alex to test his app with recordings from a nearby nature reserve. Confident in his program, Alex expected good results. But it identified the wrong birds and became confused when two birds sang at the same time. The model worked almost perfectly with downloaded recordings but struggled with sounds from the real world. After class, Ms. Chen wrote on Alex’s report: A good model should begin with good observations. That evening, Alex told Grandpa about the comment. Grandpa looked at him and asked, “Would you like to find out what your recordings have been missing?” 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。 The next morning, Alex followed Grandpa into the woods where he had worked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two weeks later, Alex was ready for the science fair. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
