Life can be challenging, particularly for people with autism (自闭症). It is a disorder that does not have one single cause and can take many forms. Most often, it creates difficulty in communicating and interacting with others. Severe autism may leave someone unable to speak entirely or function without assistance. But many people with autism have led rewarding or even outstanding lives. One such person is Haley Moss.
As a three-year-old, Haley was able to do difficult tasks such as finishing large puzzles. However, she couldn’t say simple words like “Mommy.” The concerned parents took her to a doctor. After careful examination, the doctors diagnosed (诊断) her as having autism. At the time, the family was given some extremely negative news. “My parents were told that I would be lucky to have friends or even hold a minimum wage job,” Haley said. Yet, by getting professional help, Haley was able to join regular school classes at four. She did quite well at school, although with her poor social skills, it was hard for her to make friends.
Eventually, Haley became so successful that she made history. After graduating from the University of Miami, she got hired by a law firm and became the first autistic lawyer in Florida. Being a lawyer wasn’t her first choice of career, though. Previous to going to law school, she studied psychology (心理学) and considered becoming a psychologist to help others with autism. However, Haley discovered she didn’t enjoy the science classes, so she decided that becoming a lawyer would fit her interests better. In addition to being a legal professional, Haley has also published books and has a talent for painting. Most definitely, Haley has far exceeded those original low expectations of her and proven the experts wrong. In short, she has become a role model for others with autism.
4. What can be inferred about autism according to paragraph 1?
A. It affects people in different ways. B. It leads to the loss of speech function.
C. It is a disorder that can be easily cured. D. It prevents people from leading successful lives.
5. What negative prediction did Haley’s parents receive from the doctor?
A. Haley would never learn to speak. B. Haley would struggle with puzzles.
C. Haley would fail to graduate from school. D. Haley might not have friends or hold a basic job.
6. Why did Haley choose to become a lawyer instead of a psychologist?
A. She thought psychology too difficult to learn.
B. She hoped to become the first autistic lawyer.
C. She wanted to help people with autism as a lawyer.
D. She realized entering the field of law better suited her interests.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Career in Law: The Journey of Haley Moss.
B. Overcoming Challenges: The Story of Autism.
C. Understanding Autism: Causes and Challenges.
D. Haley Moss: Overcoming Autism and Making History.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了自闭症患者Haley Moss克服挑战、创造历史的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Life can be challenging, particularly for people with autism (自闭症). It is a disorder that does not have one single cause and can take many forms. Most often, it creates difficulty in communicating and interacting with others. Severe autism may leave someone unable to speak entirely or function without assistance.(生活可能是充满挑战的,特别是对于自闭症患者。它是一种没有单一原因的疾病,可以表现为多种形式。在大多数情况下,它会造成与他人沟通和互动的困难。严重的自闭症可能会让一个人完全无法说话或无法在没有帮助的情况下生活。)”可推知,自闭症对人的影响是不同的,有的人可能无法说话,有的人可能只是社交困难,即它对不同的人有着不同的影响。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“‘My parents were told that I would be lucky to have friends or even hold a minimum wage job,’ Haley said.(Haley说:‘我父母被告知,我能有朋友或甚至能做一份最低工资的工作就算幸运了。’)”可知,Haley的父母从医生那里得到的负面预测是Haley可能交不到朋友或不能从事基本的工作。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, Haley discovered she didn’t enjoy the science classes, so she decided that becoming a lawyer would fit her interests better.(然而,Haley发现她不喜欢科学课,所以她决定成为一名律师更符合她的兴趣。)”可知,Haley选择成为一名律师而不是心理学家是因为她意识到进入法律领域更符合她的兴趣。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第三段中的“Eventually, Haley became so successful that she made history. After graduating from the University of Miami, she got hired by a law firm and became the first autistic lawyer in Florida.(最终,Haley取得了如此巨大的成功,创造了历史。从迈阿密大学毕业后,她被一家律师事务所录用,成为佛罗里达州第一位自闭症律师。)”可知,本文主要讲述了Haley Moss克服自闭症,创造历史的故事。故D选项“Haley Moss: Overcoming Autism and Making History(Haley Moss:克服自闭症,创造历史)”最符合文章标题。故选D项。
C
American users of the popular video sharing service TikTok are preparing for a possible ban (禁令) of the app by the US government. US lawmakers have warned the Chinese-owned TikTok could be misusing users’ information. A TikTok spokesperson said in a statement, “TikTok US user data is stored in the US, with strict controls on employee access. TikTok’s biggest investors come from the US. We are committed to protecting our users’ privacy and safety as we continue working to bring joy to families and meaningful careers to those who create on our platform.”
The platform lets users create and share very short videos and provides helpful tools to do so. Videos often include popular songs from well-known artists and TikTok has helped launch the careers of new Internet and music stars.
News of the possible ban spread quickly among TikTok users. One of those users is Ty Gibson of Greensboro, North Carolina. Gibson said at first, he dismissed the reports suggesting the app might be banned. But then, a technical problem led him to believe a ban might be beginning. The problem, which was later fixed, made a video counting tool disappear. I thought it was the end,” Gibson told Reuters news agency. “I didn’t even have time to think things through.” Gibson said he recorded a personal goodbye video for his 4.6 million fans, asking them to follow him on YouTube and Facebook’s Instagram.
Other TikTok fans are staying with the service for now. TikTokBan has received more than 212 million views on the app, while SaveTikTok got over 315 million. Fans are concerned that if the app is actually shut down, it will challenge the values that Americans hold dear, such as freedom of speech.
Competing video sharing services like Triller and Byte have watched downloads of their apps rise. Some rivals (对手) are now directly targeting TikTok users. Triller, which became known for its heavy use of hip-hop music, is seeking to sign up top TikTok stars to join, said Ryan Kavanaugh, founder of Triller. Dylan Tate is a TikTok user from Greenville, South Carolina with 1.2 million followers. He has been urging other TikTok users to move to the Byte app in his recent videos. Tate says one big reason to move is that Byte gives 100 percent of ad earnings to video creators.
8. What can we know about TikTok in Paragraph 1?
A. It may be banned for possibly misusing users’ information.
B. Its employees have easy access to user data.
C. It is a platform where users protect their privacy.
D. It can protect their users from losing their jobs.
9. How did Ty Gibson react to the ban?
A. He was shocked and angry at first. B. He chose to stick to TikTok despite the ban.
C. He didn’t take the ban seriously at first. D. He attracted more fans with his goodbye video.
10. What happened to the competing video sharing service?
A. They tried to win over top TikTok stars.
B. They made efforts to support TikTok.
C. They forced TikTok users to download their apps.
D. They advertised their videos to make more money.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The ban makes people familiar with TikTok in the USA.
B. TikTok becomes increasingly stronger despite the ban.
C. TikTok and its rivals are competing for customers.
D. US TikTok users react to the coming ban on TikTok.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了美国TikTok用户正面临平台可能被政府封禁的情况,介绍了部分用户的不同反应,同时提及竞品平台借此机会吸引TikTok创作者与用户。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“American users of the popular video sharing service TikTok are preparing for a possible ban (禁令) of the app by the US government. US lawmakers have warned the Chinese-owned TikTok could be misusing users’ information. (热门视频分享平台TikTok的美国用户正在为美国政府可能实施的平台禁令做准备。美国议员警告,这家中国企业旗下的TikTok可能滥用用户信息。)”可知,TikTok可能因为涉嫌滥用用户信息而遭到封禁。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Gibson said at first, he dismissed the reports suggesting the app might be banned. (Gibson说,一开始他并不把平台可能被封禁的报道当回事。)”可知,Gibson起初并没有把封禁传闻当回事。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Some rivals (对手) are now directly targeting TikTok users. Triller, which became known for its heavy use of hip-hop music, is seeking to sign up top TikTok stars to join, said Ryan Kavanaugh, founder of Triller. (一些竞争对手直接瞄准TikTok用户。Triller创始人Ryan Kavanaugh表示,这款以大量使用嘻哈音乐闻名的应用正试图签约TikTok头部网红。)”可知,竞品平台努力争取TikTok的头部创作者。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段介绍美国政府或将封禁TikTok以及平台方的回应;第二段介绍TikTok平台功能;第三段讲述用户Ty Gibson得知禁令传闻后的经历;第四段说明其他TikTok粉丝的担忧;第五段介绍竞品平台借机吸引TikTok创作者。由此可知,文章主要介绍了美国TikTok用户对即将到来的TikTok禁令作出的各种反应。

A research team from AMOLF in Amsterdam has created a soft robot that walks, jumps, and swims — all without a brain, electronics, or AI. As described in the study published in Science, it has no computer, no software, and no sensors. And still, it moves with surprising autonomy and speed, simply because of its body and how it interacts with the world.
So, what’s really driving it? Underneath the movement is a principle you’ve probably seen, though you might have overlooked. Think of those shaky, air-filled tube dancers swinging freely around in front of gas stations. The same physics that makes them move could hold the key to the next generation of autonomous robots.
Powered by a continuous stream of air alone, each of the robot’s soft, tubular legs begins to swing. On its own, each leg waves around randomly. But when many are coupled together, their motions quickly synchronize. Suddenly, “order emerges from chaos,” says the first author Alberto Comoretto. No controllers, no programming. Complex collective motions arise just from simple interactions.” Even more surprising, the synchronization adapts. If the robot runs into an obstacle, it adjusts itself. When it moves from land to water, it quickly shifts to freestyle swimming. All the movement emerges from the tight coupling between body and environment.
The research challenges the conventional idea that robots need complicated control systems to realize lifelike behavior. “Simple objects, like tubes, can give rise to complex and functional behavior, provided we understand how to take advantage of the underlying physics,” says principal investigator Bas Overvelde. “There is no brain, no computer. Essentially, it’s a machine. But when properly designed, it can outperform many robotic systems and behave like an artificial creature.”
Possible future applications range from smart pills to space technology: safe micro robots that can be swallowed and release drugs after autonomously reaching the target tissue, robotic wearable suits matching the walking steps without processors, reducing power consumption while enhancing human strength. More broadly, these examples illustrate how this research opens doors to mechanical systems that behave as if they had a computer, without actually needing one.
12. Why does the author mention tube dancers in paragraph 2?
A. To show the need for observation. B. To explain the operating mechanism.
C. To stress the wide use of robots. D. To introduce a daily application.
13. What does the underlined word “synchronize” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Slow down. B. Change direction.
C. Consume energy. D. Match up.
14. What enables the soft robot to adjust itself?
A. Its ability to get over obstacles. B. Its reliable performance underwater.
C. Its interaction with the surroundings. D. Its connection with a computer.
15. What should robots be like according to Bas Overvelde?
A. Physics-based. B. Function-focused. C. Cost-effective. D. Environmentally-friendly.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了科研团队研发出的一款软体机器人,该研究打破传统机器人认知,在多个领域具备应用潜力。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“So, what’s really driving it? Underneath the movement is a principle you’ve probably seen (那么,究竟是什么在驱动它?这种运动背后是一个你或许见过的原理。)”及“The same physics that makes them move could hold the key to the next generation of autonomous robots. (让它们动起来的这套物理原理,可能是下一代自主机器人的关键。)”可知,作者提到加油站前的充气管舞者,是为了通俗地解释这种新型软体机器人的运行机制。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“On its own, each leg waves around randomly. But when many are coupled together, their motions quickly synchronize. (单独来看,每条支腿随机摆动。但多条支腿连接在一起时,它们的动作会迅速____。)”及“Suddenly, order emerges from chaos (混乱之中,秩序骤然产生)”可知,每条腿单独运动时是随机晃动,多条腿连接在一起时,动作就从混乱变得协调有序,也就是动作互相匹配、同步。match up意为“同步、匹配”,意义相近。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“If the robot runs into an obstacle, it adjusts itself. (如果机器人碰到障碍物,它会自行调整。)”及“All the movement emerges from the tight coupling between body and environment. (所有运动都源自本体与环境之间的紧密互动。)”可知,机器人能够自我调整,源于它和周围环境之间的相互作用。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““Simple objects, like tubes, can give rise to complex and functional behavior, provided we understand how to take advantage of the underlying physics,” says principal investigator Bas Overvelde. (首席研究员Bas Overvelde说:“只要我们懂得利用底层物理原理,像软管这类简单物体,就能产生复杂且具备功能性的运动。”)”可推知,Bas Overvelde认为机器人应该是基于物理学原理的。

How to spot AI images on social media?
With the rise of AI-generated content, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for common people and professionals to distinguish between real photographs and artificial images. ____16____ However, there are still some common signs to look for when trying to spot an AI-generated image.
Focus on the details
____17____ However, AI models often struggle with recreating fine details correctly, especially in areas that are more complex or less commonly seen. A good example is the image of actor Ryan Reynolds. At first glance, the image seems believable, but closer inspection reveals that the fingers on his right hand are oddly shaped, a common mistake in AI images. In addition, if you look at the writing on his F1 jacket, it turns out to be nonsense, without readable content. This is another red flag. ____18____
Be aware of perfection
AI-generated images often appear too perfect. The faces in these images can look unusually smooth or “airbrushed,” lacking the small imperfections that make real human faces look natural. ____19____ However, upon closer examination, the facial features may lack skin texture (质感) or depth, giving the photo an unreal quality. Another clue is the background setting. AI often places subjects in overly ideal or fantasy-like environments. If a seemingly realistic photo includes an odd detail, like a flock of swans in an unlikely place, it could suggest that the image is computer-generated.
Reverse (反向) image search
When visual clues aren’t enough, reverse image searching can help. By uploading the image to a search engine, you can see where else it appears online. Real photos tend to exist across multiple sources. AI-generated images, on the other hand, usually have limited web presence. ____20____ This may tag the image with terms like “AI-generated,” giving you a clear answer.
While AI-generated images are improving, they still leave behind subtle traces. Learning to spot these clues helps us stay alert and more informed in an era where seeing is no longer always believing.
A. Additionally, reverse searches may link to the original uploader.
B. Images generated by machines can now look incredibly realistic.
C. Even experts in computer imaging have a hard time getting used to it.
D. Consequently, we can see AI fails to carry out human will appropriately.
E. AI images are created by processing large quantities of data from photos.
F. So, AI struggles to represent detailed contents, which easily gives it away.
G. For instance, an AI image of pop star Ariana Grande may initially appear lifelike.
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. F 19. G 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了在社交媒体上识别AI生成图像的方法,包括关注细节、留意过度完美的特征以及进行反向图像搜索等。
【16题详解】
根据第一段“With the rise of AI - generated content, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for common people and professionals to distinguish between real photographs and artificial images.(随着AI生成内容的兴起,普通人和专业人士越来越难以区分真实照片和人工图像)”指出,AI生成内容的兴起使真实照片和人工图像,B选项“现在机器生成的图像看起来极其逼真”承接前文,解释难以区分的原因,符合语境,故选B。
【17题详解】
根据小标题为“Focus on the details(关注细节)”,以及下文“However, AI models often struggle with recreating fine details correctly, especially in areas that are more complex or less commonly seen.(然而,AI模型在正确重现精细细节方面常常存在困难,尤其是在那些更复杂或不常见的区域)” 可知,此空说明AI图像的生成方式,引出后文关于AI生成图片在重现细节上存在问题。故E选项“AI 图像是通过处理大量照片数据创建的”符合语境。故选E。
【18题详解】
上文“A good example is the image of actor Ryan Reynolds. At first glance, the image seems believable, but closer inspection reveals that the fingers on his right hand are oddly shaped, a common mistake in AI images. In addition, if you look at the writing on his F1 jacket, it turns out to be nonsense, without readable content. This is another red flag. (一个很好的例子就是演员瑞安・雷诺兹的图片。乍一看,这张图片似乎可信,但仔细观察就会发现,他右手的手指形状怪异,这是人工智能生成图片中常见的错误。此外,如果你看看他F1赛车夹克上的文字,会发现毫无意义,没有可读的内容。这是另一个可疑之处)”以Ryan Reynolds的例子说明人工智能生成图片存在细节问题(如手指畸形和文字乱码);F选项“所以,AI 在呈现详细内容方面存在困难,这很容易暴露它(是 AI 生成的)”承接上文, 总结该段内容,说明AI在细节呈现上的困难使其易被识别,与小标题关注细节呼应,符合语境,故选F。
【19题详解】
根据上文“AI-generated images often appear too perfect. The faces in these images can look unusually smooth or “airbrushed,” lacking the small imperfections that make real human faces look natural.(人工智能生成的图像往往显得过于完美。这些图像中的人脸看起来异常光滑或‘喷绘’,缺乏使真实人脸看起来自然的小瑕疵。)”以及下文“However, upon closer examination, the facial features may lack skin texture (质感) or depth, giving the photo an unreal quality.(然而,仔细检查时,面部特征可能缺乏皮肤质感或深度,使照片有一种不真实的质感)”可知,此空以具体例子说明AI图像过于完美,缺乏真实感;G选项“例如,流行歌星爱莉安娜・格兰德的AI图像起初可能看起来栩栩如生”描述AI图像乍看的效果,引出后文仔细看的情况,符合语境,故选G。
【20题详解】
根据小标题为 “Reverse (反向) image search(反向图像搜索)”、上文“By uploading the image to a search engine, you can see where else it appears online. Real photos tend to exist across multiple sources. AI - generated images, on the other hand, usually have limited web presence.(通过将图像上传到搜索引擎,你可以看到它在网上其他地方的出现情况。真实照片往往存在于多个来源。另一方面,AI 生成的图像通常在网络上的存在量有限)”以及下文“This may tag the image with terms like “AI-generated,” giving you a clear answer.(这可能会给图像贴上‘人工智能生成’这样的标签,给你一个明确的答案。)” 可知,此空继续介绍反向图像搜索的作用,除了查看网络存在量,还可能链接到原始上传者,与小标题呼应。A选项“此外,反向搜索可能会链接到原始上传者” 符合语境,故选A。
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)

That’s when I discovered yoga (瑜伽). It became part of my life and I could fit it in around my other duties. With the help of books and videos, I ____26____ myself the poses and learned intentional breathing, the foundation of yoga. Then came the ____27____,which was not what I expected. At first, ____28____ took hold of me when I was doing yoga, for I could hear my father blaming me for being ____29____ and I had to shake off my ____30____ about doing nothing. But I gradually realized this “useless” stillness was valuable for me and kept me ____31____ when the world was pushing me in opposite directions.
____32____ have passed since I began my breathing practice. My daughter is an adult now, with children of her own. Each morning I still find time to sit quietly and watch my ____33____. Doing nothing helps me enjoy the daily life and focus on what ____34____. I’ve come to understand that sometimes, the most ____35____thing we can do is slow down and listen to the quiet within.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了作者受父亲完美主义影响,曾因追求完美而陷入倦怠,后借瑜伽学习呼吸与宁静,逐渐摆脱对“无所事事”的羞愧,明白放慢脚步、聆听内心才是有意义的事。
【21题详解】
考查动词。句意:在我的家庭中,静止是不被重视的。A. valued重视;B. ignored忽视;C. proved证明;D. rewarded奖励。根据下文“My father was a workaholic with three jobs and a perfectionist.”可知,父亲身兼三职且是完美主义者,这种家庭氛围下静止自然不被重视;下文“I absorbed the message that doing nothing wasn’t allowed”也直接印证了这一点。
【22题详解】
考查动词短语。句意:凡事都不容许出错,这一理念也适用于他的女儿们。A. adapted to适应;B. applied to适用于;C. belonged to属于;D. related to与……相关。根据下文“I absorbed the message that doing nothing wasn’t allowed and that everything had to be the best”可知,作者内化了父亲的完美主义理念,这说明该理念同样适用于女儿们。
【23题详解】
考查名词。句意:我接受了这样的信息:什么都不做是不被允许的,凡事必须做到最好才能获得他的赞扬。A. wealth财富;B. agreement同意;C. praise赞扬;D. sympathy同情。根据上文“Everything he did had to be done just right.”及“everything had to be the best”可知,父亲追求完美,因此只有做到最好才能获得他的赞扬。
【24题详解】
考查动词。句意:这种想法跟随我步入婚姻:我努力成为完美的妻子、母亲和家庭主妇,直到倦怠迫使我寻求帮助。A. urged促使;B. encouraged鼓励;C. instructed指导;D. followed跟随。根据上文“I absorbed the message that doing nothing wasn’t allowed and that everything had to be the best to gain his ________.”可知,作者内化的完美主义观念如同影子般“跟随”她进入婚姻生活,并在婚姻中继续影响她的行为;下文“I struggled to be the ________ wife, mother, and homemaker”正是这种观念持续作用的结果。
【25题详解】
考查形容词。这种想法跟随我步入婚姻:我努力成为完美的妻子、母亲和家庭主妇,直到倦怠迫使我寻求帮助。A. perfect完美的;B. useful有用的;C. independent独立的;D. responsible负责的。根据上文“Everything he did had to be done just right.”及“everything had to be the best”可知,作者受父亲完美主义影响,努力成为完美的妻子、母亲和家庭主妇。
【26题详解】
考查动词。句意:在书籍和视频的帮助下,我自学了瑜伽体式,并学会了有意识的呼吸——瑜伽的基础。A. taught教;B. advised建议;C. told告诉;D. showed展示。根据上文“With the help of books and videos”可知,作者没有老师,而是通过书籍和视频自学,teach oneself为固定搭配,意为自学。
【27题详解】
考查名词。句意:然后是静止,这并非我所预期的。A. stress压力;B. load负担;C. accident意外;D. stillness静止。根据第十空后面“But I gradually realized this “useless” stillness was valuable for me”可知,瑜伽练习带来的是“静止”,且下文用引号标注useless表明这并非作者最初追求的目标。
【28题详解】
考查名词。句意:起初,当我做瑜伽时,不快乐占据了我,因为我能听到父亲责备我不活跃,我不得不摆脱对无所事事的羞耻感。A. satisfaction满足;B. annoyance烦恼;C. unhappiness不快乐;D. excitement兴奋。根据下文“for I could hear my father blaming me”及“I had to shake off my ________ about doing nothing”可知,作者在做瑜伽时因父亲的责备声而陷入“不快乐”的情绪中,这种情绪源于内心冲突而非单纯的烦恼。
【29题详解】
考查形容词。句意:起初,当我做瑜伽时,不快乐占据了我,因为我能听到父亲责备我不活跃,我不得不摆脱对无所事事的羞耻感。A. inactive不活跃的;B. irresponsible不负责任的;C. disordered混乱的;D. misguided被误导的。根据第一段“being still wasn’t ________”及“I absorbed the message that doing nothing wasn’t allowed”可知,父亲重视的是持续的活动而非静止,因此他会责备作者“不活跃”;下文“doing nothing”也与inactive语义呼应。
【30题详解】
考查名词。句意:起初,当我做瑜伽时,不快乐占据了我,因为我能听到父亲责备我不活跃,我不得不摆脱对无所事事的羞耻感。A. regret遗憾;B. shame羞耻;C. grief悲伤;D. disappointment失望。根据上文“for I could hear my father blaming me”可知,作者因什么都不做而遭到父亲责备,因此内心产生羞耻感,shake off my shame意为“摆脱羞耻感”。
【31题详解】
考查形容词。句意:但我逐渐意识到这种“无用”的静止对我很有价值,当世界把我推向相反方向时,它让我保持平静。A. confused困惑的;B. excited兴奋的;C. tired疲惫的;D. calm平静的。根据上文“this “useless” stillness was valuable for me”及下文“when the world was pushing me in opposite directions”中的对比可知,当外界喧嚣时,静止让作者保持平静,这正是其价值所在。
【32题详解】
考查名词。句意:自从我开始呼吸练习以来,几十年过去了。A. Months月;B. Weeks周;C. Decades几十年;D. Centuries世纪。根据下文“My daughter is an adult now, with children of her own.”可知,作者的女儿已成年且有了自己的孩子,这说明时间跨度长达几十年。
【33题详解】
考查名词。句意:每天早上我仍然找时间静静地坐着,观察我的呼吸。A. hands手;B. breath呼吸;C. feet脚;D. clothes衣服。根据第六空后面“learned intentional breathing, the foundation of yoga”及第十二空后面“began my breathing practice”可知,作者的练习核心是呼吸,因此观察的是呼吸。
【34题详解】
考查动词。句意:什么都不做帮助我享受日常生活,专注于重要的事情。A. matters重要;B. changes改变;C. happens发生;D. means意味着。根据上文“Doing nothing helps me enjoy the daily life and focus on what”可知,作者学会区分轻重缓急,专注于重要的事情,what matters为固定表达,意为“重要的事情”。
【35题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我逐渐明白,有时候,我们能做的最有成效的事情就是放慢脚步,倾听内心的宁静。A. boring无聊的;B. productive有成效的;C. challenging有挑战的;D. demanding要求高的。根据上文“Doing nothing helps me enjoy the daily life and focus on what ________.”可知,作者领悟到什么都不做看似无用,实则帮助她享受生活、聚焦重点,因此是最有成效的事情,与开篇“One of the most useful things I’ve learned is how to do nothing.”中的useful呼应。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,介绍了中国流行文化日益走向世界,以拉布布玩偶的火爆热销和《黑神话:悟空》等电子游戏的成功为例进行说明。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:中国流行文化日益走向世界的最显著标志之一是拉布布的火爆,这是一种长着兔子耳朵、露齿而笑的可收藏玩具。设空处作定语修饰toy,collect应转换为形容词collectible或者collectable,意为“可收藏的”。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:蕾哈娜、大卫·贝克汉姆和Blackpink的Lisa都在与拉布布玩偶合影的名人之列。此处作后置定语,photograph(拍照)与其逻辑主语celebrities之间为被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:虽然这款玩偶已经上市几年,但销量真正起飞是在2025年。take off意为“迅速流行、起飞”作主句谓语,结合时间状语in 2025可知,句子应用一般过去时态,take的过去式为took。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:玩偶的中国制造商泡泡玛特2025年上半年从The Monsters系列(主要是拉布布这个角色)获得6.7亿美元收入,比2024年同期增长68%。设空处修饰整个短语,primary应转换为副词primarily作状语,意为“主要地”。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意同上。increase在此处为可数名词,意为“增长”,泛指“68%的增长”,且68%发音以辅音音素开头,其前应用不定冠词a。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:英国甚至发生了为争夺玩偶而起的争执,这使得泡泡玛特在英国门店暂时限量销售该玩偶。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面整个主句的内容,在从句中作主语,故用which。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:中国官方通讯社新华社称,拉布布“以世界能理解的语言展现了中国创造力、品质和文化的吸引力”。介词of后应接名词,creative应转换为名词creativity作宾语,意为“创造力”。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。表示“以某种语言”应用介词in,in a language意为“以一种语言”。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国流行文化也开始在电子游戏产业中发挥更大的影响力。start to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“开始做某事”,故用不定式作宾语。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:开发商游戏科学同时宣布了续作《黑神话:钟馗》。announce(宣布)作谓语,与主语A follow up之间为被动关系,结合时间状语at the same time可知,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是单数名词,谓语用单数was announced。

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。
Ethan had always lived by checklists — precise and detailed. At school, he double-checked his answers, rewrote notes in perfect handwriting, and organized his pens by size and color. But the world often refused to follow his plan. A missed question, a group project gone off track, or even a messy desk could send him into hours of self-blame.
During a school event, he was struck by what was advertised on the poster of a pottery class, “Join us. Create, relax, and just be yourself.” He eagerly signed up, hoping it might ease the anxiety that had wrapped him around for long.
On the first day of their pottery workshop, Ethan arrived earlier, and spent almost an hour arranging and rearranging all the tools, the wheel, carving knives, brushes, and measuring cups... He carefully lined them up like surgical instruments. He had even watched twelve instructional videos the night before, determined to get everything right. Yet somehow, his third attempt at a simple bowl that day still exploded in the kiln (窑).
Maybe the shape was not right, Ethan thought. Ms. Alvarez, their instructor, approached Ethan and said with a warm smile, “Beginner’s tip. Don’t worry about making it perfect.” Ethan froze. The word “Perfect” hung in the air, sharp and cold. He wanted to explain, to say that “perfect” was the only way he knew how to feel safe. But the words stayed inside.
Around him, the others were making uneven (歪歪扭扭的) bowls and plates with funny-looking curves. Some were even laughing at their own “disasters”. No one seemed to mind getting it wrong. Ethan looked down at his hands, still lightly dusted with clay (黏土). For a moment, he just stared, and then realized maybe “not being perfect” wasn’t as scary as he had always thought. He let out a small, hesitant smile, turned back to the soft clay on his table, and began shaping it — ready for a fourth attempt.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Forget about making it perfect.” Ms. Alvarez’s words gently landed beside him.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Now,” Ms. Alvarez said to Ethan with a smile, “let’s wait.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“Forget about making it perfect.” Ms. Alvarez’s words gently landed beside him. Hearing this, Ethan hesitated, then closed his notebook and let his fingers press into the clay with no checklist. His hands worked clumsily at first, but soon the rhythm of shaping took over, each motion less about worry and more about exploration. Halfway through, Ethan pressed too hard while shaping — the curve got a little uneven. He glanced at Ms. Alvarez, remembering her gentle voice. Just this once, he decided not to start over. Ms. Alvarez watched him, offering gentle encouragement. With her guidance, Ethan carefully placed his newly formed clay piece into the kiln.
“Now,” Ms. Alvarez said to Ethan with a smile, “let’s wait.” He stepped back from the warm glow of the kiln, a sense of quiet anticipation settling within him. It wasn’t the anxiety about perfection, but a quiet curiosity about what might emerge. When the kiln finally cooled and the pieces were revealed, Ms. Alvarez came over, pride shining in her eyes. “Beautiful work, Ethan.” “Thank you for reminding me it didn’t have to be perfect,” Ethan murmured, his lips curling into a small, relieved smile. The bowl was far from perfect. But it held its shape and was unique. For once, he didn’t feel the urge to fix it, to start over, to make it match some invisible standard. Ethan felt a strange lightness, as if the weight of all his checklists had finally lifted.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了完美主义者Ethan通过陶艺课学习接纳不完美的故事。他用清单和规则寻求安全感,却因陶土创作的意外失败而焦虑;在老师引导和同伴氛围影响下,他开始尝试放下对完美的执念,最终体验到了创作的自由与快乐。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容““别想着做到完美了。”Ms. Alvarez的话轻柔地落在他耳边。”可知,第一段可描写Ethan尝试跟随老师建议,放手创作的过程。
②由第二段首句内容““现在,”Ms. Alvarez微笑着对Ethan说,“我们等等看吧。””可知,第二段可描写Ethan等待作品烧制,最终接纳不完美并收获成长的场景。

Life can be challenging, particularly for people with autism (自闭症). It is a disorder that does not have one single cause and can take many forms. Most often, it creates difficulty in communicating and interacting with others. Severe autism may leave someone unable to speak entirely or function without assistance. But many people with autism have led rewarding or even outstanding lives. One such person is Haley Moss.
As a three-year-old, Haley was able to do difficult tasks such as finishing large puzzles. However, she couldn’t say simple words like “Mommy.” The concerned parents took her to a doctor. After careful examination, the doctors diagnosed (诊断) her as having autism. At the time, the family was given some extremely negative news. “My parents were told that I would be lucky to have friends or even hold a minimum wage job,” Haley said. Yet, by getting professional help, Haley was able to join regular school classes at four. She did quite well at school, although with her poor social skills, it was hard for her to make friends.
Eventually, Haley became so successful that she made history. After graduating from the University of Miami, she got hired by a law firm and became the first autistic lawyer in Florida. Being a lawyer wasn’t her first choice of career, though. Previous to going to law school, she studied psychology (心理学) and considered becoming a psychologist to help others with autism. However, Haley discovered she didn’t enjoy the science classes, so she decided that becoming a lawyer would fit her interests better. In addition to being a legal professional, Haley has also published books and has a talent for painting. Most definitely, Haley has far exceeded those original low expectations of her and proven the experts wrong. In short, she has become a role model for others with autism.
4. What can be inferred about autism according to paragraph 1?
A. It affects people in different ways. B. It leads to the loss of speech function.
C. It is a disorder that can be easily cured. D. It prevents people from leading successful lives.
5. What negative prediction did Haley’s parents receive from the doctor?
A. Haley would never learn to speak. B. Haley would struggle with puzzles.
C. Haley would fail to graduate from school. D. Haley might not have friends or hold a basic job.
6. Why did Haley choose to become a lawyer instead of a psychologist?
A. She thought psychology too difficult to learn.
B. She hoped to become the first autistic lawyer.
C. She wanted to help people with autism as a lawyer.
D. She realized entering the field of law better suited her interests.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Career in Law: The Journey of Haley Moss.
B. Overcoming Challenges: The Story of Autism.
C. Understanding Autism: Causes and Challenges.
D. Haley Moss: Overcoming Autism and Making History.
C
American users of the popular video sharing service TikTok are preparing for a possible ban (禁令) of the app by the US government. US lawmakers have warned the Chinese-owned TikTok could be misusing users’ information. A TikTok spokesperson said in a statement, “TikTok US user data is stored in the US, with strict controls on employee access. TikTok’s biggest investors come from the US. We are committed to protecting our users’ privacy and safety as we continue working to bring joy to families and meaningful careers to those who create on our platform.”
The platform lets users create and share very short videos and provides helpful tools to do so. Videos often include popular songs from well-known artists and TikTok has helped launch the careers of new Internet and music stars.
News of the possible ban spread quickly among TikTok users. One of those users is Ty Gibson of Greensboro, North Carolina. Gibson said at first, he dismissed the reports suggesting the app might be banned. But then, a technical problem led him to believe a ban might be beginning. The problem, which was later fixed, made a video counting tool disappear. I thought it was the end,” Gibson told Reuters news agency. “I didn’t even have time to think things through.” Gibson said he recorded a personal goodbye video for his 4.6 million fans, asking them to follow him on YouTube and Facebook’s Instagram.
Other TikTok fans are staying with the service for now. TikTokBan has received more than 212 million views on the app, while SaveTikTok got over 315 million. Fans are concerned that if the app is actually shut down, it will challenge the values that Americans hold dear, such as freedom of speech.
Competing video sharing services like Triller and Byte have watched downloads of their apps rise. Some rivals (对手) are now directly targeting TikTok users. Triller, which became known for its heavy use of hip-hop music, is seeking to sign up top TikTok stars to join, said Ryan Kavanaugh, founder of Triller. Dylan Tate is a TikTok user from Greenville, South Carolina with 1.2 million followers. He has been urging other TikTok users to move to the Byte app in his recent videos. Tate says one big reason to move is that Byte gives 100 percent of ad earnings to video creators.
8. What can we know about TikTok in Paragraph 1?
A. It may be banned for possibly misusing users’ information.
B. Its employees have easy access to user data.
C. It is a platform where users protect their privacy.
D. It can protect their users from losing their jobs.
9. How did Ty Gibson react to the ban?
A. He was shocked and angry at first. B. He chose to stick to TikTok despite the ban.
C. He didn’t take the ban seriously at first. D. He attracted more fans with his goodbye video.
10. What happened to the competing video sharing service?
A. They tried to win over top TikTok stars.
B. They made efforts to support TikTok.
C. They forced TikTok users to download their apps.
D. They advertised their videos to make more money.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The ban makes people familiar with TikTok in the USA.
B. TikTok becomes increasingly stronger despite the ban.
C. TikTok and its rivals are competing for customers.
D. US TikTok users react to the coming ban on TikTok.
D
A research team from AMOLF in Amsterdam has created a soft robot that walks, jumps, and swims — all without a brain, electronics, or AI. As described in the study published in Science, it has no computer, no software, and no sensors. And still, it moves with surprising autonomy and speed, simply because of its body and how it interacts with the world.
So, what’s really driving it? Underneath the movement is a principle you’ve probably seen, though you might have overlooked. Think of those shaky, air-filled tube dancers swinging freely around in front of gas stations. The same physics that makes them move could hold the key to the next generation of autonomous robots.
Powered by a continuous stream of air alone, each of the robot’s soft, tubular legs begins to swing. On its own, each leg waves around randomly. But when many are coupled together, their motions quickly synchronize. Suddenly, “order emerges from chaos,” says the first author Alberto Comoretto. No controllers, no programming. Complex collective motions arise just from simple interactions.” Even more surprising, the synchronization adapts. If the robot runs into an obstacle, it adjusts itself. When it moves from land to water, it quickly shifts to freestyle swimming. All the movement emerges from the tight coupling between body and environment.
The research challenges the conventional idea that robots need complicated control systems to realize lifelike behavior. “Simple objects, like tubes, can give rise to complex and functional behavior, provided we understand how to take advantage of the underlying physics,” says principal investigator Bas Overvelde. “There is no brain, no computer. Essentially, it’s a machine. But when properly designed, it can outperform many robotic systems and behave like an artificial creature.”
Possible future applications range from smart pills to space technology: safe micro robots that can be swallowed and release drugs after autonomously reaching the target tissue, robotic wearable suits matching the walking steps without processors, reducing power consumption while enhancing human strength. More broadly, these examples illustrate how this research opens doors to mechanical systems that behave as if they had a computer, without actually needing one.
12. Why does the author mention tube dancers in paragraph 2?
A. To show the need for observation. B. To explain the operating mechanism.
C. To stress the wide use of robots. D. To introduce a daily application.
13. What does the underlined word “synchronize” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Slow down. B. Change direction.
C. Consume energy. D. Match up.
14. What enables the soft robot to adjust itself?
A. Its ability to get over obstacles. B. Its reliable performance underwater.
C. Its interaction with the surroundings. D. Its connection with a computer.
15. What should robots be like according to Bas Overvelde?
A. Physics-based. B. Function-focused. C. Cost-effective. D. Environmentally-friendly.

How to spot AI images on social media?
With the rise of AI-generated content, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for common people and professionals to distinguish between real photographs and artificial images. ____16____ However, there are still some common signs to look for when trying to spot an AI-generated image.
Focus on the details
____17____ However, AI models often struggle with recreating fine details correctly, especially in areas that are more complex or less commonly seen. A good example is the image of actor Ryan Reynolds. At first glance, the image seems believable, but closer inspection reveals that the fingers on his right hand are oddly shaped, a common mistake in AI images. In addition, if you look at the writing on his F1 jacket, it turns out to be nonsense, without readable content. This is another red flag. ____18____
Be aware of perfection
AI-generated images often appear too perfect. The faces in these images can look unusually smooth or “airbrushed,” lacking the small imperfections that make real human faces look natural. ____19____ However, upon closer examination, the facial features may lack skin texture (质感) or depth, giving the photo an unreal quality. Another clue is the background setting. AI often places subjects in overly ideal or fantasy-like environments. If a seemingly realistic photo includes an odd detail, like a flock of swans in an unlikely place, it could suggest that the image is computer-generated.
Reverse (反向) image search
When visual clues aren’t enough, reverse image searching can help. By uploading the image to a search engine, you can see where else it appears online. Real photos tend to exist across multiple sources. AI-generated images, on the other hand, usually have limited web presence. ____20____ This may tag the image with terms like “AI-generated,” giving you a clear answer.
While AI-generated images are improving, they still leave behind subtle traces. Learning to spot these clues helps us stay alert and more informed in an era where seeing is no longer always believing.
A. Additionally, reverse searches may link to the original uploader.
B. Images generated by machines can now look incredibly realistic.
C. Even experts in computer imaging have a hard time getting used to it.
D. Consequently, we can see AI fails to carry out human will appropriately.
E. AI images are created by processing large quantities of data from photos.
F. So, AI struggles to represent detailed contents, which easily gives it away.
G. For instance, an AI image of pop star Ariana Grande may initially appear lifelike.

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。
Ethan had always lived by checklists — precise and detailed. At school, he double-checked his answers, rewrote notes in perfect handwriting, and organized his pens by size and color. But the world often refused to follow his plan. A missed question, a group project gone off track, or even a messy desk could send him into hours of self-blame.
During a school event, he was struck by what was advertised on the poster of a pottery class, “Join us. Create, relax, and just be yourself.” He eagerly signed up, hoping it might ease the anxiety that had wrapped him around for long.
On the first day of their pottery workshop, Ethan arrived earlier, and spent almost an hour arranging and rearranging all the tools, the wheel, carving knives, brushes, and measuring cups... He carefully lined them up like surgical instruments. He had even watched twelve instructional videos the night before, determined to get everything right. Yet somehow, his third attempt at a simple bowl that day still exploded in the kiln (窑).
Maybe the shape was not right, Ethan thought. Ms. Alvarez, their instructor, approached Ethan and said with a warm smile, “Beginner’s tip. Don’t worry about making it perfect.” Ethan froze. The word “Perfect” hung in the air, sharp and cold. He wanted to explain, to say that “perfect” was the only way he knew how to feel safe. But the words stayed inside.
Around him, the others were making uneven (歪歪扭扭的) bowls and plates with funny-looking curves. Some were even laughing at their own “disasters”. No one seemed to mind getting it wrong. Ethan looked down at his hands, still lightly dusted with clay (黏土). For a moment, he just stared, and then realized maybe “not being perfect” wasn’t as scary as he had always thought. He let out a small, hesitant smile, turned back to the soft clay on his table, and began shaping it — ready for a fourth attempt.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Forget about making it perfect.” Ms. Alvarez’s words gently landed beside him.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Now,” Ms. Alvarez said to Ethan with a smile, “let’s wait.”
