(共有48支球队（由32支扩军而来）将于2026年6月11日至7月19日在16座体育场进行104场比赛。)”可知，球队数量从32支增加到48支，相比上届世界杯新增16支队伍。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Venue 1介绍“Matches: 8 games, including the World Cup Final on July 19. (比赛：8场赛事，包括7月19日的世界杯决赛。)”可知，MetLife Stadium承办世界杯决赛，也就是冠军诞生的比赛。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Venue 2介绍“Seating capacity: 92,967 seats. (座位容量：92967个座位。)”以及Venue 3介绍“Seating capacity: 87,500 seats.

The site chess.com hosts some 30 million matches every day and offers tips to help players at all levels improve. Interest in chess has gone up since 2020, partly because of the popularity of the Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit, which was released that year. But the ability to play online (especially during the pandemic) certainly contributed. The number of active users of chess.com doubled from October 2020 to April 2022. Rules and roles of chess have changed over the years. Now the strongest piece, the queen used to be one of the weakest. She became more powerful during the Middle Ages as her range of possible moves expanded. One theory is that Spain’s Queen Isabella helped inspire this. Today, the queen can move any number of squares in any direction. But 1,000 years ago, she could go just a short distance diagonally (对角线). Computers have transformed the game of chess with their advanced computing and analytical capabilities. Computers are great at chess, since software engines can look ahead and generate billions (if not trillions) of possible positions. One landmark victory for chess computers occurred in 1997 when IBM’s supercomputer, nicknamed Deep Blue, defeated the world champion, Gary Kasparov, who had beaten the computer just a year prior. In movies, a character who plays chess can suggest that he or she has intellect or depth. In the film Casablanca, Rick, the main character, is first shown studying a chessboard. In the film The Seventh Seal, a medieval knight plays chess against the character Death to save his own life. These chess scenes highlight the characters’ strategic minds and wisdom. Are you ready to play a game of chess and embrace the wisdom it offers? 4. How does the author present the popularity of chess in Paragraph 1? A. By listing data. B. By quoting an expert. C. By sharing personal experiences. D. By giving a definition. 5. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The fact that chess is becoming more popular. B. The change that the queen became more powerful. C. The theory that Queen Isabella inspired the change. D. The rule that the queen could move a short distance. 6. Why can computers greatly influence chess? A. The computer users of chess doubled after 2020. B. Software engines are better at chess than humans. C. Computers have advanced data processing abilities. D. The supercomputer Deep Blue defeated the then world champion. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The great impact of technology on chess B. The scenes of chess in films and TV series C. The games between humans and computers D. The growing popularity and development of chess 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了国际象棋越来越流行的现状，梳理了国际象棋规则的历史演变、计算机技术对国际象棋发展的影响，以及国际象棋在影视文化中的符号意义。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“More than 600 million adults play worldwide...The site chess.com hosts some 30 million matches every day...(全球有超过6亿成年人下国际象棋……chess.com网站每天举办约3000万场比赛)”可知，作者通过列举多个具体数据说明国际象棋的受欢迎程度。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“She became more powerful during the Middle Ages as her range of possible moves expanded. One theory is that Spain’s Queen Isabella helped inspire this.(在中世纪，随着后可移动的范围扩大，后变得更加强大。有一种理论认为，西班牙的伊莎贝拉女王促成了这一改变)”可知，前文介绍了“后在国际象棋中变强”这一规则变化，此处“this”指代的就是这一变化。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Computers have transformed the game of chess with their advanced computing and analytical capabilities. Computers are great at chess, since software engines can look ahead and generate billions (if not trillions) of possible positions.(计算机凭借先进的计算和分析能力改变了国际象棋游戏。计算机擅长国际象棋，因为软件引擎可以预判并生成数十亿(如果不是数万亿)种可能的棋局位置)”可知，计算机能够极大影响国际象棋的原因是它拥有先进的数据处理能力。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍了国际象棋目前日益普及的现状，第二段分析了国际象棋近年来热度上升的原因，第三段介绍了国际象棋规则的历史演变，第四段介绍了计算机技术对国际象棋的改变，最后一段介绍了国际象棋在影视文化中的象征意义。全文围绕“国际象棋日益普及的现状和发展历程”展开，因此D选项“The growing popularity and development of chess.(国际象棋的日益普及和发展。)”符合主旨。 C From eating healthily to going to the gym regularly, some adults are turning to sticker charts to help them stay on track with their goals. “The sticker chart is a nicer way of trying to motivate and discipline yourself,” says Gray, a housewife in Birmingham, England. Gray had a weight problem in September, 2024 and bought her first sticker chart shortly afterwards — since then, she has lost 142 pounds while simultaneously gaining muscle. “It sounds really silly to say that you will get a gold star every time you go to the gym but I don’t think I would’ve pushed myself as much without the stickers,” she said. “It changed my mindset from ‘Ugh, I’ve got to go to the gym’ to ‘I need to get my three stars this week!’” What is the working principle behind sticker charts? “Humans and animals work for rewards. That is their nature,” says Kou Murayama, the chief investigator at the University of Tübingen. “Hitting a goal itself serves as a reward for humans,” Murayama says, “even if it does not give you tangible rewards such as food or money.” According to “goal-setting theory”, put forward by the psychologists Edwin Locke and Gary Latham, goals that are specific, proximal (that is, shorter-term) and challenging can be especially motivating, says Murayama. “Sticker charts at least meet the first two criteria-perhaps the third one too,” he says. “Sticker charts could help people, but we can’t necessarily rely on gold stars forever or for everything,” warns Murayama. “One needs to find a more intrinsic source of enjoyment,” he says, arguing that it can help one stay motivated for longer. “If you decide to do exercise to reduce your weight, you may find that running itself is a joy as you know the benefits are waiting ahead,” he says. 8. What change has the sticker chart brought to Gray? A. Muscle gained through home training. B. Getting rid of all her weight problems. C. Realizing the nonsense of sticker charts. D. Improved physical health and a better mindset. 9. What can we infer from Murayama’s words in Paragraph 3? A. Proximal goals are more challenging. B. Humans are motivated by food or money. C. Achieving a goal itself can be rewarding. D. Sticker charts work via tangible rewards. 10. Which opinion would Murayama most likely support? A. Gold stars can help keep people productive. B. Losing weight is the best way to get pleasure. C. Sticker charts are useless for long-term goals. D. Inner passion often works better than external rewards. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Secret to Lasting Productivity B. The Motivating Power of Sticker Charts C. Different People’s Views on Sticker Charts D. Effective Ways to Develop Intrinsic Interest 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一些成人借助贴纸奖励表激励自己实现生活目标，分析了其背后的心理学原理，并指出长期坚持目标还需要培养内在动力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Gray had a weight problem in September, 2024 and bought her first sticker chart shortly afterwards — since then, she has lost 142 pounds while simultaneously gaining muscle.(格雷在2024年9月遇到了体重问题，不久之后她买了第一张贴纸表，从那以后，她减掉了142磅，同时还增肌了)”和“It changed my mindset from ‘Ugh, I’ve got to go to the gym’ to ‘I need to get my three stars this week!(它改变了我的心态，让我从‘啊，我得去健身房’变成了‘我这周要拿到三颗星！’)”可知，贴纸表不仅帮助格雷改善了身体健康，还改变了她的心态。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““Hitting a goal itself serves as a reward for humans,” Murayama says, “even if it does not give you tangible rewards such as food or money.”(“实现目标本身对人类来说就是一种奖励，”村山说，“即使它没有给你食物或金钱这样实实在在的奖励。”)”可知，从村山的话中可以推出，实现目标本身就是一种奖励。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““Sticker charts could help people, but we can’t necessarily rely on gold stars forever or for everything,” warns Murayama. “One needs to find a more intrinsic source of enjoyment,” he says, arguing that it can help one stay motivated for longer.(“贴纸表可以帮助人们，但我们不能永远或者在所有事情上都依赖金星奖励，”村山警告说。“人们需要找到更内在的愉悦来源，”他说，他认为内在愉悦可以帮助人们更长时间保持动力。)”可知，村山认为内在动力比外部奖励效果更好。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段“From eating healthily to going to the gym regularly, some adults are turning to sticker charts to help them stay on track with their goals.(从健康饮食到定期去健身房，一些成年人正在转向贴纸表来帮助他们实现目标。)”开篇介绍成人使用贴纸表帮助实现目标的现象，接着分析贴纸表激励人的心理学原理，最后补充说明长期目标需要结合内在动力，核心围绕贴纸打卡表的激励作用展开，B项“The Motivating Power of Sticker Charts(贴纸表的激励力量)”最适合作本文标题。 D If artificial intelligence disrupts the job market, which group of workers will be most vulnerable? To some, their answer is that the workers most at risk are computer programmers, software engineers and other tech industry employees, whose skills are the ones that AI systems have mastered first. But many economists are more concerned about a different and much larger group of workers — secretaries, customer service representatives, administrative clerks, and human resources clerks — who together account for tens of millions of jobs. These office clerks are spread across all industries, with women making up the majority. “I worry that AI will affect these workers more,” said Molly Kinder, a former researcher at the Brookings Institution. Companies often turn to AI as a cost-cutting measure, making routine office jobs an obvious target. For now, such an outcome is a real threat, not a forecast. The threat is out there and its impact will be striking. What makes things worse is that these workers often have limited adaptability to new occupations after being laid off. Unlike technical workers, who can often find new jobs relatively easily because their previous work experience has equipped them with stronger learning abilities, office clerks may face greater difficulties in finding new employment or changing careers. Though technological changes have taken place in the past and generally allowed workers time to adapt, AI is developing at an unprecedented speed. To address such potential risks, effective measures should be adopted in advance. Authorities should offer more targeted skill training programs to help vulnerable workers upgrade professional capabilities. Meanwhile, individuals need to pursue continuous self-improvement and develop core strengths that AI cannot replace. By working together, the society can better equip itself to navigate the transformative influence of AI on the workforce. 12. Which of the following occupations is most vulnerable to being affected by AI? A. An economist. B. A software engineer. C. A company secretary. D. A computer programmer. 13. Why do companies promote the use of AI? A. To create more jobs. B. To reduce expenses. C. To help female clerks. D. To support the job market. 14. Which measure can better help someone land a new job after being laid off? A. Avoiding potential risks. B. Rejecting authorities’ aid. C. Searching for a similar job. D. Seeking new development. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward AI-related career risks? A. Objective and neutral. B. Skeptical and critical. C. Optimistic and relieved. D. Sympathetic and concerned. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章探讨AI冲击就业市场时，办公室文员是受冲击最大群体，分析其再就业困境，并提出应对AI职业风险的相关措施。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But many economists are more concerned about a different and much larger group of workers — secretaries, customer service representatives, administrative clerks, and human resources clerks — who together account for tens of millions of jobs. (但许多经济学家更关注另一类规模大得多的劳动者群体——秘书、客服代表、行政文员以及人事文员，这些岗位合计有数千万个工作机会。)”可知，公司秘书最容易受到人工智能的冲击。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Companies often turn to AI as a cost-cutting measure, making routine office jobs an obvious target. (企业常常把人工智能当作削减成本的手段，这使得常规办公室岗位成为明显的目标。)”可知，企业推广使用人工智能是为了减少开支。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Authorities should offer more targeted skill training programs to help vulnerable workers upgrade professional capabilities. Meanwhile, individuals need to pursue continuous self-improvement and develop core strengths that AI cannot replace. (政府应当推出更多针对性技能培训项目，帮助弱势劳动者提升专业能力。同时，个人需要不断自我提升，培养人工智能无法取代的核心优势。)”可知，寻求新的发展有助于失业后找到新工作。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““I worry that AI will affect these workers more,” said Molly Kinder, a former researcher at the Brookings Institution. (布鲁金斯学会前研究员莫莉・金德说：“我担心人工智能会对这类劳动者造成更大影响。”)”以及全文对文员面临失业风险的分析可推断，作者对这类劳动者抱有同情，并且对人工智能带来的职业风险感到担忧。 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。 How Neighborhood Cafes Help For many people, neighborhood cafés serve as a “third place” — a social gathering spot outside the home and workplace. ____16____ Studies show that residents of cities with a higher density of cafés tend to report stronger feelings of social connection. Neighborhood cafes positively influence individual well-being and community development. ●Encouraging Spontaneous Communication For many people, a visit to the neighborhood café is more than a simple pleasure — it is an essential part of their daily routine. Starting the day at a neighborhood café offers a sense of comfort and belonging. Cafés also provide opportunities for spontaneous encounters and conversations, allowing people to meet someone new. ____17____ ●____18____ Spending time in neighborhood cafés may contribute to better mental health. A 2024 report published by the American Psychological Association suggested that regular café-goers report lower levels of loneliness and stress. Even without direct interaction, simply sharing a space with others may provide some people with a comforting sense of community and social connection. ●Putting Community Needs First Cafés warmly welcome people of all ages, backgrounds and income levels. During the pandemic, many cafés adapted their seating arrangements and services to meet changing public-health needs, showing flexibility and responsiveness. ____19____ By making small, thoughtful changes, cafés can better respond to community needs. ●Supporting Local Economies ____20____ By sourcing products and services from local bakers, suppliers and artists, they also help keep money circulating within the community while creating jobs. According to the Specialty Coffee Association, neighborhood cafes contributed roughly $11 billion to U.S. local economies in 2023. A. Boosting Mental Well-being. B. Cafés do not just serve coffee. C. Reducing Loneliness and Fear. D. Cafés used to seek ways to serve the neighborhood better. E. Cafés have become an important part of modern urban life. F. The unexpected interactions may develop into new friendships. G. These efforts enabled them to serve their communities safely and effectively. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. A 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了社区咖啡馆作为连接家庭与职场的“第三空间”，在促进人际联结、提升心理健康、服务社群需求与拉动地方经济等多个维度，为城市居民生活与社区发展注入了不可或缺的鲜活动能。 【16题详解】 根据下文“Studies show that residents of cities with a higher density of cafés tend to report stronger feelings of social connection. Neighborhood cafes positively influence individual well-being and community development.(研究表明，咖啡馆密度更高的城市的居民往往会产生更强的社会联结感。社区咖啡馆对个人福祉和社区发展有着积极影响)”可知，此处需要一个总起句引出咖啡馆在现代城市中的重要定位，对应选项E“Cafés have become an important part of modern urban life.(咖啡馆已经成为现代都市生活的重要组成部分)”。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Cafés also provide opportunities for spontaneous encounters and conversations, allowing people to meet someone new.(咖啡馆也为自发的偶遇和交谈提供机会，让人们能够结识新朋友)”可知，此处需要进一步说明自发偶遇交流的正向影响，选项F“The unexpected interactions may develop into new friendships.(这些意外的互动可能会发展成新的友谊)”可以顺承前文内容，对自发交流的结果做出合理延伸。 【18题详解】 空处为本段小标题，结合上下文标题格式，应用动名词短语。根据下文“Spending time in neighborhood cafés may contribute to better mental health. A 2024 report published by the American Psychological Association suggested that regular café-goers report lower levels of loneliness and stress.(在社区咖啡馆消磨时光或许有助于改善心理健康。美国心理学会于2024年发布的一份报告显示，经常去咖啡馆的人报告的孤独感和压力水平较低)”可知，本段主要讲述了社区咖啡馆有助于改善心理健康、降低孤独感和压力，对应选项A“Boosting Mental Well-being.(促进心理健康)”。 【19题详解】 根据上文“During the pandemic, many cafés adapted their seating arrangements and services to meet changing public-health needs, showing flexibility and responsiveness.(疫情期间，许多咖啡馆调整了座位布局和服务，以适应不断变化的公共卫生需求，展现出灵活性与响应能力)”可知，此处需要承接前文提及的咖啡馆调整举措，说明这些行动带来的实际效果，对应选项G“These efforts enabled them to serve their communities safely and effectively.(这些努力让他们能够安全且高效地为社区提供服务)”，对前文的调整行为做出合理的结果总结。 【20题详解】 根据本段小标题“Supporting Local Economies(支持当地经济)”和下文“By sourcing products and services from local bakers, suppliers and artists, they also help keep money circulating within the community while creating jobs.(通过从当地面包师、供应商和艺术家处采购产品与服务，他们也能在创造就业岗位的同时帮助资金在社区内循环流动)”可知，此处需要作为该部分的起始句引出咖啡馆在经济层面的价值，对应选项B“Cafés do not just serve coffee.(咖啡馆提供的不只是咖啡)”，可以自然过渡到后续关于拉动本地经济的相关论述。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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。 Mrs. Korthaus taught me everything I needed to know, even before I had students of my own.

Stephen, my six-year-old son, missed his old friends. “Dad, I wish we hadn’t moved here,” he complained. Pulling him into my arms, I comforted him that he still had his pet dog, Coco, with him and everything would get better soon. I was right. After we had just moved in, several neighbors came over to greet us and told us that the whole neighborhood was friendly — especially Mr. Kira, our next-door neighbor, who was kind and warm-hearted. Actually, we had seen Kira only a few times across the yard. I waved to him and he just nodded. “He never smiles,” Stephen whispered. “Maybe he’s just shy.” I assured him. A good neighbor would be nice and maybe what we really needed was simply time. One afternoon, Stephen came home from school and ran straight to the backyard. Moments later, I heard him cry out. “Dad! Coco is gone!” I rushed over immediately, only to find the fence broken. I regretted not having repaired the fence in time due to a lack of proper tools. We searched high and low, but found nothing. After checking the back door, which was still locked, I stepped outdoors. But no luck. My gaze shifted to Kira’s yard next door, where overgrown grass, old flower pots, and a low fence with a loose gate created an inviting hiding place for Coco. Stephen pulled my sleeve. “Dad. Please find Coco for me — hurry up!” Guessing that Coco might have run into Kira’s yard, I took a deep breath and walked to Kira’s front door. Stephen followed me closely. I gently knocked at the door. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150词左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: After a moment, the door opened slowly. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Before we could thank him, Kira came over with his tools. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After a moment, the door opened slowly. It was Mr. Kira. Noticing our worried and anxious expressions, he asked what trouble we had met. Upon hearing that our pet dog Coco was missing, he immediately let us enter his yard. To our huge relief, we caught sight of Coco running around among the overgrown grass. It turned out that the dog had wandered in through the loose gate. Stephen called Coco’s name excitedly and the dog dashed over to us. A wave of gratitude washed over us, yet we also felt awkward for disturbing him out of the blue. Before we could thank him, Kira came over with his tools. He told us he had spotted our broken fence several days earlier. Without any delay, he set about repairing it patiently. While working, he wore a soft smile and talked happily with Stephen. Much to our surprise, he was really easy‑going rather than the cold shy man we imagined. From then on, we often paid visits to each other. We finally understood that kindness, more than time, builds warm bonds between neighbours. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述六个月前，作者一家因工作迁居小镇，儿子斯蒂芬想念旧友。邻居们都很友善，但隔壁的Kira先生不苟言笑。一天，家里的小狗Coco从破损围栏走失，四处搜寻无果，作者猜测小狗跑进了Kira家院子，便带着儿子前去敲门。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写Kira开门得知狗走失，准许作者们入院，找到了Coco，作者既感激又因贸然打扰而尴尬。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写Kira主动帮忙修补围栏，作者发现他很随和，懂得善意能建立温暖的邻里情谊。 2.续写线索：Kira准许作者们进入院落——找到了Coco——感激——Kira主动帮忙修补围栏——发现Kira很随和——作者感悟 3.词类激活： 行为类： 进入：enter/walk into/gain access to 看见：catch sight of/spot/see 情绪类： 激动地：excitedly/in excitement 惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement 【点睛】【高分句型1】Noticing our worried and anxious expressions, he asked what trouble we had met.

The site chess.com hosts some 30 million matches every day and offers tips to help players at all levels improve. Interest in chess has gone up since 2020, partly because of the popularity of the Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit, which was released that year. But the ability to play online (especially during the pandemic) certainly contributed. The number of active users of chess.com doubled from October 2020 to April 2022. Rules and roles of chess have changed over the years. Now the strongest piece, the queen used to be one of the weakest. She became more powerful during the Middle Ages as her range of possible moves expanded. One theory is that Spain’s Queen Isabella helped inspire this. Today, the queen can move any number of squares in any direction. But 1,000 years ago, she could go just a short distance diagonally (对角线). Computers have transformed the game of chess with their advanced computing and analytical capabilities. Computers are great at chess, since software engines can look ahead and generate billions (if not trillions) of possible positions. One landmark victory for chess computers occurred in 1997 when IBM’s supercomputer, nicknamed Deep Blue, defeated the world champion, Gary Kasparov, who had beaten the computer just a year prior. In movies, a character who plays chess can suggest that he or she has intellect or depth. In the film Casablanca, Rick, the main character, is first shown studying a chessboard. In the film The Seventh Seal, a medieval knight plays chess against the character Death to save his own life. These chess scenes highlight the characters’ strategic minds and wisdom. Are you ready to play a game of chess and embrace the wisdom it offers? 4. How does the author present the popularity of chess in Paragraph 1? A. By listing data. B. By quoting an expert. C. By sharing personal experiences. D. By giving a definition. 5. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The fact that chess is becoming more popular. B. The change that the queen became more powerful. C. The theory that Queen Isabella inspired the change. D. The rule that the queen could move a short distance. 6. Why can computers greatly influence chess? A. The computer users of chess doubled after 2020. B. Software engines are better at chess than humans. C. Computers have advanced data processing abilities. D. The supercomputer Deep Blue defeated the then world champion. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The great impact of technology on chess B. The scenes of chess in films and TV series C. The games between humans and computers D. The growing popularity and development of chess C From eating healthily to going to the gym regularly, some adults are turning to sticker charts to help them stay on track with their goals. “The sticker chart is a nicer way of trying to motivate and discipline yourself,” says Gray, a housewife in Birmingham, England. Gray had a weight problem in September, 2024 and bought her first sticker chart shortly afterwards — since then, she has lost 142 pounds while simultaneously gaining muscle. “It sounds really silly to say that you will get a gold star every time you go to the gym but I don’t think I would’ve pushed myself as much without the stickers,” she said. “It changed my mindset from ‘Ugh, I’ve got to go to the gym’ to ‘I need to get my three stars this week!’” What is the working principle behind sticker charts? “Humans and animals work for rewards. That is their nature,” says Kou Murayama, the chief investigator at the University of Tübingen. “Hitting a goal itself serves as a reward for humans,” Murayama says, “even if it does not give you tangible rewards such as food or money.” According to “goal-setting theory”, put forward by the psychologists Edwin Locke and Gary Latham, goals that are specific, proximal (that is, shorter-term) and challenging can be especially motivating, says Murayama. “Sticker charts at least meet the first two criteria-perhaps the third one too,” he says. “Sticker charts could help people, but we can’t necessarily rely on gold stars forever or for everything,” warns Murayama. “One needs to find a more intrinsic source of enjoyment,” he says, arguing that it can help one stay motivated for longer. “If you decide to do exercise to reduce your weight, you may find that running itself is a joy as you know the benefits are waiting ahead,” he says. 8. What change has the sticker chart brought to Gray? A. Muscle gained through home training. B. Getting rid of all her weight problems. C. Realizing the nonsense of sticker charts. D. Improved physical health and a better mindset. 9. What can we infer from Murayama’s words in Paragraph 3? A. Proximal goals are more challenging. B. Humans are motivated by food or money. C. Achieving a goal itself can be rewarding. D. Sticker charts work via tangible rewards. 10. Which opinion would Murayama most likely support? A. Gold stars can help keep people productive. B. Losing weight is the best way to get pleasure. C. Sticker charts are useless for long-term goals. D. Inner passion often works better than external rewards. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Secret to Lasting Productivity B. The Motivating Power of Sticker Charts C. Different People’s Views on Sticker Charts D. Effective Ways to Develop Intrinsic Interest D If artificial intelligence disrupts the job market, which group of workers will be most vulnerable? To some, their answer is that the workers most at risk are computer programmers, software engineers and other tech industry employees, whose skills are the ones that AI systems have mastered first. But many economists are more concerned about a different and much larger group of workers — secretaries, customer service representatives, administrative clerks, and human resources clerks — who together account for tens of millions of jobs. These office clerks are spread across all industries, with women making up the majority. “I worry that AI will affect these workers more,” said Molly Kinder, a former researcher at the Brookings Institution. Companies often turn to AI as a cost-cutting measure, making routine office jobs an obvious target. For now, such an outcome is a real threat, not a forecast. The threat is out there and its impact will be striking. What makes things worse is that these workers often have limited adaptability to new occupations after being laid off. Unlike technical workers, who can often find new jobs relatively easily because their previous work experience has equipped them with stronger learning abilities, office clerks may face greater difficulties in finding new employment or changing careers. Though technological changes have taken place in the past and generally allowed workers time to adapt, AI is developing at an unprecedented speed. To address such potential risks, effective measures should be adopted in advance. Authorities should offer more targeted skill training programs to help vulnerable workers upgrade professional capabilities. Meanwhile, individuals need to pursue continuous self-improvement and develop core strengths that AI cannot replace. By working together, the society can better equip itself to navigate the transformative influence of AI on the workforce. 12. Which of the following occupations is most vulnerable to being affected by AI? A. An economist. B. A software engineer. C. A company secretary. D. A computer programmer. 13. Why do companies promote the use of AI? A. To create more jobs. B. To reduce expenses. C. To help female clerks. D. To support the job market. 14.

Stephen, my six-year-old son, missed his old friends. “Dad, I wish we hadn’t moved here,” he complained. Pulling him into my arms, I comforted him that he still had his pet dog, Coco, with him and everything would get better soon. I was right. After we had just moved in, several neighbors came over to greet us and told us that the whole neighborhood was friendly — especially Mr. Kira, our next-door neighbor, who was kind and warm-hearted. Actually, we had seen Kira only a few times across the yard. I waved to him and he just nodded. “He never smiles,” Stephen whispered. “Maybe he’s just shy.” I assured him. A good neighbor would be nice and maybe what we really needed was simply time. One afternoon, Stephen came home from school and ran straight to the backyard. Moments later, I heard him cry out. “Dad! Coco is gone!” I rushed over immediately, only to find the fence broken. I regretted not having repaired the fence in time due to a lack of proper tools. We searched high and low, but found nothing. After checking the back door, which was still locked, I stepped outdoors. But no luck. My gaze shifted to Kira’s yard next door, where overgrown grass, old flower pots, and a low fence with a loose gate created an inviting hiding place for Coco. Stephen pulled my sleeve. “Dad. Please find Coco for me — hurry up!” Guessing that Coco might have run into Kira’s yard, I took a deep breath and walked to Kira’s front door. Stephen followed me closely. I gently knocked at the door. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150词左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: After a moment, the door opened slowly. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Before we could thank him, Kira came over with his tools. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
