It was thirty years ago. In my family we were two children, one employed adult, and Christmas was coming. My parents were managing, but only just, and they had started preparing us for a simpler Christmas.
So they told me, their 5-year-old daughter, well in advance that Santa Claus had received so many letters that winter that he had run out of presents. Santa is generous, they explained, but Santa is not bottomless. Everybody knew, of course, that Santa did not actually manufacture (大量生产) the gifts. He bought them, like anyone else.
For a 5-year-old, this was a disaster. But children often have an unnerving ability to solve problems before the adults around them notice. I went to my room, found old toys, and wrapped them carefully. One for my mother, one for my father, one for each of my grandparents, and some for myself and my brother. By the morning, I had become, in my own mind, the hero of Christmas. There would be presents under the tree. There would be the best part of Christmas, the opening. I had solved the first money problem of my life and brought joy to my family.
The ending was happier than I expected. Santa, it turned out, had found gifts for the young family after all. The old toys were quietly returned to my bedroom.
And yet, that Christmas has stayed with me my whole life. It is a memory about adapting to something a child has a hard time understanding. It is also a memory about something common, the kind of relative shortage and insecurity that exists in many families. That memory, and the dozens that followed, quietly built a way of thinking I never noticed I had. I came to believe that whether we had plenty of money or just about enough, we would manage, and our problems would be temporary.
24. Why did the author's parents mention Santa Claus in advance?
A. To encourage her to share presents. B. To explain their financial difficulties.
C. To teach her how Santa Claus worked. D. To lower her expectations for Christmas.
25. What happened that Christmas?
A. The author was praised for her thoughtful idea.
B. The author prepared gifts for her family in secret.
C. Santa put the author's toys back where they were.
D. The author's plan to solve the money problem failed.
26. Which of the following best describes the author as a kid?
A. Curious and patient. B. Honest and sensitive.
C. Creative and generous. D. Reliable and determined.
27. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph?
A. She prefers to depend on herself. B. She sees hardships as manageable.
C. She finds it hard to adapt to changes. D. She underestimates the value of money.
C
It used to be easy to tell when a face was generated with AI. Whether it was an unnatural expression, impossibly smooth skin, or a noticeable third ear, early AI-generated (AI生成的) fake human faces were simple to spot and easy to dismiss. That's just not true anymore.
Now, AI image generators can produce portraits (肖像\照片) so convincing that even careful observers struggle to distinguish fact from fiction. That's why apps such as Zoom and Tinder allow their users to submit biometric identification (生物识别) to help prove a real person exists behind a profile picture. But a new study suggests you can train your brain to get better at spotting fakes.
Past attempts to teach people to spot AI faces have focused on visual errors like strange ears. But those clues can disappear with a software update or by a different prompt (提示词). “The AI is getting too good,” said Amy Dawel, the lead author of the study. “And fraudsters (骗子) may avoid using pictures with obvious mistakes anyway. The result is an endless technological race that humans are likely to lose.”
Instead, the researchers taught the participants how to recognize broader patterns in how AI systems generate images. “Our training directs people's attention to global qualities differing between AI and human faces,” Dawel said. Current AI image generators are trained on datasets composed of millions of images. When prompted to generate a face, they don't copy, but compose one based on the mathematical patterns shared across the faces. Individually, none of these characteristics are strange. But together, the whole is plainer than the sum of its parts which can often be sensed.
Compared with real faces, AI-generated faces tend to be more symmetrical (对称的), more balanced, and more attractive—while also being less expressive, less distinctive and significantly less memorable. The participants were trained to look for these six markers instead of obvious errors. “Even with short training sessions, the chance of spotting AI faces almost doubled,” says Tanya George, a trainer from Australian National University. “People need training to navigate increasingly complex online environments.”
28. Why do some apps require biometric identification?
A. To replace AI image generators. B. To confirm online users' identity.
C. To limit the use of AI portrait tools. D. To improve the quality of online photos.
29. What does Amy Dawel think of the earlier ways to spot AI faces?
A. They rely much on varied prompts. B. They help fraudsters avoid detection.
C. They have fallen behind AI progress. D. They beat humans in tech competitions.
30. What were the participants told to focus on?
A. Overall facial features. B. Massive image datasets.
C. Tiny facial characteristics. D. Shared mathematical patterns.
31. What does Tanya George think of the training in the research?
A. Effective. B. Complicated. C. Temporary. D. Thorough.
D
The dawn chorus of birdsong has inspired poets and nature lovers for thousands of years, but the reason why birds start the day this way is an enduring mystery. Now, a series of experiments on zebra finches(斑胸草雀)suggests that while darkness holds back singing, birds build up a strong motivation to sing in the night that causes them to burst into song at dawn.
Satoshi Kojima at the Korea Brain Research Institute and his colleagues studied lab-raised zebra finches in carefully-controlled lighting conditions. When the team delayed sudden exposure to bright light until three hours after actual dawn, the finches, which were awake, remained silent in the dark; once the light was turned on, they sang more intensely than usual. However, when the lights came on three hours earlier than true dawn, the chorus was less intense.
“The birds are already awake in the dark before the lights come on,” Kojima says. He notes that darkness subdues their natural urge to sing, which in turn boosts their singing motivation, leading to a rebound of intense singing when lights come on.
The researchers then administered the drug luzindole, which blocks the effects of melatonin(褪黑激素), a hormone that helps regulate wakefulness cycles in many animals. Birds that were given this drug five hours before the normal lights-on time woke up more quickly and began singing earlier than those in the control group. Besides, analysis of the birds’ songs revealed rapid structural shifts in the first hour after dawn compared to the second. “Due to the absence of singing during the night, the vocal motor system and song structure may slightly suffer, and the dawn chorus serves to quickly restore or improve them,” says Kojima.
While this study examined only one species, similar drivers may apply to other bird species, he says. But Diego Gil at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid, Spain, urges caution. There are “extensive differences between species: how, when and what birds sing in the dawn chorus”, he says. “This explains why 11 different assumptions have been proposed to understand the phenomenon.”
32. What does Kojima’s experiment in Paragraph 2 mainly show?
A. Finches’ chorus strength relates to time staying in the dark.
B. Lab-raised zebra finches are more sensitive to light changes.
C. Earlier light exposure results in a more intense dawn chorus.
D. Earlier light exposure makes the birds’ dawn chorus last longer.
33. What does the underlined word “subdues” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. transforms. B. restricts. C. motivates. D. ignores.
34. What can we learn from the experiment with luzindole?
A. Luzindole improves birds’ vocal motor system.
B. Melatonin showed no effect on the control group.
C. Melatonin may prevent birds’ waking and singing.
D. Luzindole directly lifts birds’ dawn-singing motivation.
35. What do Diego Gil’s words imply?
A. More experiments are needed to confirm the assumption.
B. The findings on zebra finches may not fit all bird species.
C. All proposed assumptions about dawn chorus are unreliable.
D. Species differences have no impact on dawn chorus patterns.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In our culture, popcorn and movies just go together. The association is so strong, in fact, that people joke about wanting to get some popcorn to snack on whenever there's an entertaining show to watch. __36__
You might be surprised to learn something about popcorn and early cinemas. The steam-powered popcorn maker was invented in the late 1800s. Soon popcorn grew popular at fairs, circuses and outdoor sports events. __37__ According to the Smithsonian, theater owners had many worries. They feared loose popcorn bits would ruin carpets and soft seat coverings. Besides, loud chewing sounds would disturb viewers. __38__ Any eating noise would easily pull people's attention away from the screen.
Two factors led to popcorn's takeover as movie-goer's snack of choice. One was the introduction of films with sound in 1927. It increased the mass appeal of movies and also lessened concerns about distracting background noises. The second was the start of the Great Depression (大萧条). __39__ Popcorn was a good choice because it was cheap and could be stored for a long time. Theaters that sold popcorn not only weathered the storm of the Depression, but saw their profits increase, while theaters refusing to do that struggled.
World War II strengthened the association between movies and popcorn that the Depression started. __40__ However, popcorn remained easy to get and just as tasty as ever. By the end of the 1940s, the idea of watching a movie was closely linked with eating popcorn in people's imagination.
Today, even if you're having a movie night at home instead of going to a theater, you might find that the experience just doesn't feel right without popcorn.
A. Back then, all movies were silent.
B. Can popcorn truly enhance a movie night?
C. People would pass popcorn around and share it.
D. However, it was nowhere to be found in movie theaters.
E. Shortages of sugar made many sweet snacks unavailable.
F. Many theaters tried to make some profits by selling snacks.
G. But how did the link between popcorn and movies come to be?

In the morning they __53__ a huge breakfast with fruit, tea and bread.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Ms. Wilson was widely known as the strictest teacher in the entire grade. She carried herself with seriousness, never joining in casual small talk or lighthearted jokes with her students. Though her class was famously lively and mischievous (顽皮的)—always buzzing in other teachers' lessons—the students treated her with absolute respect. No one dared to fool around or crack a silly joke in her presence, for they knew she tolerated no indiscipline.
Rarely was a smile seen on her face. Careful in every task, she ran her classes and daily work with precise perfection. Every lesson plan was flawlessly (无瑕地) organized, every assignment graded with careful attention, and every classroom rule strictly carried out. It seemed she was determined to keep every single detail of her professional life on track, leaving no room for the slightest mistake or chaos.
One ordinary morning, however, an unexpected incident broke her usual routine. As the school bell rang to signal the start of class, Ms. Wilson stepped into the classroom with her usual steady and serious expression. To her immediate confusion, silence did not fall as usual. Instead, low whispers and giggles spread through the rows of desks. Before long, Hammond, the naughtiest boy in the class, couldn't help but let out a laugh, drawing even more curious glances among the students.
Frowning, Ms. Wilson shot him her sharp warning look—the one that always instantly quieted all mischief and made everyone sit up straight. Hammond quickly shut tight his mouth, but his shoulders still shook with fun, and the awkward murmurs in the room did not fade away.
What surprised her most was that even Shelly, the most sensible and well-behaved girl in the class, could no longer keep calm. Sitting straight in her seat, Shelly's eyes were wide with amusement, and she seemed eager to say something yet a bit hesitant. When their eyes met, Shelly, with courage, gestured toward Ms. Wilson's feet with a subtle (细微的) hand movement.
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。

Should We Make Detailed Travel Plans Before Trips?
When it comes to traveling,I firmly believe it is necessary to make thorough travel plans before setting off.
To begin with,detailed preparations ensure our safety.We can look up local weather,transport and dangerous areas ahead of time to stay away from risks.Besides,learning about local traditions helps us behave politely and avoid cultural misunderstandings.Moreover,planning budgets and attractions saves plenty of time and money.Without detailed plans,we may waste hours finding hotels or getting tickets.Some people claim strict plans kill unexpected fun.However,careful preparation may just cover the basic arrangements.We can still leave spare time for random surprises.
All in all,proper pre-trip research brings us a safer,smoother and more rewarding journey

Paragraph 1:
Ms. Wilson glanced down at her own shoes and froze on the spot. A near exclamation slipped out before she could stop herself.“Oh my goodness!”Suddenly,it all clicked.Exhausted from a restless night with little
sleep,she had been a bit dizzy and rushed while getting ready for work that morning.In a hurry,she had
accidentally put on two completely different sneakers—one on each foot,mismatched in style and design.
She had been walking and standing all morning without noticing the ridiculous mistake.Heat rushed to her
cheeks in an instant,and her face flushed bright red.For someone who always pursued perfection and hated
making trivial errors in front of students,this careless mistake felt utterly awful.
Paragraph 2:
Sensing Ms. Wilson's embarrassment,Hammond bravely stood up.With a sincere and playful tone,he smiled and said,"Ms.Wilson,this is actually a new and unique fashion trend!It looks really special on you." As Hammond,the “troublemaker”,finished his words,others all nodded in agreement.Both touched deeply by kindness and amused by her own silly blunder,Ms.Wilson finally relaxed her tight,stern expression.For the first time in a long while in class,she let out a genuine,hearty laugh.Then the whole classroom was instantly filled with warm,easy happiness,and the tense atmosphere vanished without a trace.Every student sat more loosely in their seats,no longer nervous around their teacher

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是科学家通过实验研究斑胸草雀黎明合唱的原因,发现黑暗抑制歌唱但积累动机,褪黑激素在其中起调节作用。
第32题.A 实验现象归纳。解析:第二段描述了两个对比实验:延迟亮灯三小时,雀在黑暗中保持安静,灯亮后歌唱更强烈;提前亮灯三小时,合唱强度较低。这说明在黑暗中停留的时间越长,之后唱歌的强度越大,即合唱强度与黑暗时长相关。故选A。
第33题.B 词义猜测。解析:根据上下文,黑暗使鸟的自然歌唱冲动被压制,从而积累动机,导致灯亮后强烈反弹。因此“subdues”意为“抑制、压制”。选项B“restricts”符合此意。故选B。
第34题.C 实验结果推理。解析:使用luzindole阻断褪黑激素后,鸟比对照组更早醒来并开始唱歌,说明褪黑激素通常会抑制鸟的醒来和唱歌行为。故选C。
第35题.B 作者观点态度。解析:Diego Gil指出不同鸟类在黎明合唱的方式、时间等方面存在巨大差异,已有11种不同假说。这暗示对斑胸草雀的研究结果可能不适用于所有鸟类。故选B。

本文介绍爆米花与观影绑定这一习惯的演变历程:早期爆米花流行于集市却被影院排斥,无声 片时代观影噪音问题加剧影院抵触;有声电影问世、大萧条、二战糖料短缺三个关键时期推动爆米 花成为影院标配零食,最终形成如今观影必吃爆米花的大众习惯。
36.G 。根据前文"In our culture,popcorn and movies just go together.”、后 文“You might be surprised to learn something about popcorn and early cinemas”可知,前文说明爆米花和电影绑定,后文介绍二 者发展历史,空格处需要过渡问句引出下文。
37.D 。根据前文“Soon popcorn grew popular at fairs,circuses and outdoor sports events.”, 前文写爆米 花在集市、马戏场流行,后文写影院老板排斥爆米花,前后存在转折,D 选项转折衔接上下文。
38.A 。根据后文“Any eating noise would easily pull people's attention away from the screen”可知,后文 解释咀嚼声会干扰观影,A 选项说明当时是无声电影,轻微声响都会格外明显,形成因果逻辑。

40.E 。根据后文“However,popcorn remained easy to get and just as tasty as ever”可 知 ,however 表转折,说明其他甜食供应不足,只有爆米花不受影响,E 符合逻辑。
