To be honest, I’ve never expected to win against so many talented participants. M: What inspired you to combine artificial intelligence with traditional painting techniques? W: I’ve always loved watercolors, but I’m also fascinated by technology, so I trained an AI model on thousands of classical landscape paintings, then used its outputs as a base layer and painted over them manually. M: That sounds incredibly time consuming. How long did the whole project take? W: About four months of coding and painting. Plus countless failed attempts. What the process taught me is that creativity isn’t about the tool. It’s about how you use it. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 11. Why does the man feel dissatisfied about his present job? A.

W: What about switching to a different company? Sometimes a change of environment makes all the difference. M: I’ve sent out a few applications, but the market is tough right now. Everyone wants five years of experience for an entry level position. W: Then maybe it’s not about changing jobs. Maybe it’s about changing your mindset. Have you talked to your boss about taking on more challenging projects? M: That’s actually something I haven’t tried. I’ve been so focused on leaving that I didn’t think about improving where I am. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14. What is the speakers’ primary challenge? A. Time management issues. B.

A 【解析】 【原文】W: The community music festival is in three weeks and we’re nowhere near ready. The main stage still needs sound equipment and half the performers haven’t confirmed. M: The rental company says they can deliver the sound system by next Friday, but we’ll have to pay a rush fee. W: How much extra are we talking? M: About five hundred dollars. Given our budget that would mean cutting back on the lighting design. W: We can’t compromise on lighting. It’s essential for the evening performances. What if we reduce the number of food stands from ten to six? People are coming for the music, not the food. M: That’s a reasonable trade off. I’ll adjust the list of food sales accordingly and what about the performers? W: I’ll personally visit the local bands this weekend to get firm commitments. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17.

What is the experts’ attitude towards the future of solar energy? A. Concerned. B. Critical. C. Optimistic. 【答案】17. B 18. B 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【原文】Welcome to our Science Talk. Today we’re looking at solar energy. And guess what? This year has been a game changer for solar research. Scientists have achieved new records in solar cell efficiency. One team reported a conversion efficiency of over 35 percent for a new type of solar cell, beating the previous record. This high efficiency is only reached in small laboratory samples, not in commercial solar panels. Another group developed a special coating that helps panels work better in hot weather. Meanwhile, the cost of solar power continues to drop. Since 2010, installation costs have fallen by nearly 90 percent. In some countries solar energy with battery storage is now cheaper than electricity from fossil fuels. Storage technology is also improving. Researchers have created a liquid that can hold solar energy for years and release as heat when needed. While it cannot produce electricity directly, this technology could help solve one of solar power’s biggest problems: what to do when the sun doesn’t shine. Experts believe these advances will make solar energy more accessible to homes and businesses around the world. With better efficiency, lower costs and smarter storage, solar power is becoming a reliable energy source for the future. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A From roaming (漫游的) fees to pricey add-ons, it’s easy to lose track of your spending. To avoid any unpleasant surprises, dial in to these top tips. SWITCH ‘N’ SAVE Firstly, can you switch mobile providers and save? Text the word “INFO” to 85075 — it’s a free Ofcom (通信管理局) service that tells you whether you’re still in contract and whether any exit fees apply. If you’re within 30 days of your contract end date, you can give notice that you are going to switch. Then at the end of your contract, you can move to a better deal. To find one, use comparison sites such as switch.com, moneysupermarket.com and comparethemarket.com. ROAMING RULES Roaming charges can max out your holiday budget, but O2 is the major UK network that still includes free EU roaming as standard across all its plans. It covers up to 25GB data at no extra cost. Switch off “automatic network selection” in places near countries outside the EU to make sure you can stay in control of spending. ESIM-PLE SWAP If you don’t want to switch and your provider’s travel charges are looking unreasonable, you could also buy a travel eSIM at Airalo.com. Just set the destination and travel duration before instant downloading, with no postage and no physical card. Plans start from just a few pounds for short trips. Just switch to the new one when you land to connect instantly. EXTRA HELP Log on to free Wi-Fi where possible. Use apps such as WhatsApp or Messenger to call friends and family for free. Do remember to turn off voicemail as you can get charged for someone leaving a message. Besides, Google Maps lets you download offline maps so you can navigate without using data. 21. What service can you get by sending “INFO” to 85075? A. Checking contract details. B. Canceling contracts freely. C. Comparing phone services. D. Switching mobile providers. 22. Which practice can help save phone costs abroad? A. Using WhatsApp for navigation. B. Buying a travel eSIM at Airalo.com. C. Leaving voicemail on to receive messages. D. Keeping automatic network selection active. 23. Who is the text mainly intended for? A. Exchange students studying in the UK. B. Businessmen on a business trip in Europe. C. European tourists who are visiting the UK. D. British travelers planning a holiday abroad. 【答案】21. A 22. B 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了帮助人们节省手机话费的几条实用建议，涵盖更换运营商、漫游资费规则、购买旅行eSIM卡以及额外的省钱小技巧等内容。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据SWITCH ‘N’ SAVE部分中的“Text the word “INFO” to 85075 — it’s a free Ofcom service that tells you whether you’re still in contract and whether any exit fees apply.(将单词‘INFO’发送至85075，这是英国通信管理局提供的免费服务，它会告知你是否仍处于合约期内，以及是否需要支付解约费用。)”可知，发送该短信可以查询自身的合约相关详情。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据ESIM-PLE SWAP部分中的“If you don’t want to switch and your provider’s travel charges are looking unreasonable, you could also buy a travel eSIM at Airalo.com.(如果你不想更换运营商，且你当前运营商的旅行资费偏高不合理，你也可以在 Airalo 网站购买旅行 eSIM 卡。)”可知，在Airalo网站购买旅行eSIM卡是能够帮助节省境外手机费用的做法。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段“From roaming fees to pricey add-ons, it’s easy to lose track of your spending. To avoid any unpleasant surprises, dial in to these top tips.(从漫游费到高昂的附加服务，人们很容易忽略自己的话费支出。为了避免意外的高额账单，不妨参考以下实用建议。)”可知，全文围绕管控手机漫游等相关话费支出展开；再结合ROAMING RULES部分中的“Roaming charges can max out your holiday budget, but O2 is the major UK network that still includes free EU roaming as standard across all its plans.(漫游费用可能会耗尽你的度假预算，但 O2 是英国主流运营商，其所有套餐都默认包含免费的欧盟漫游服务。)”可知，该内容针对英国本土用户的境外度假漫游场景给出省钱建议，由此可推知本文的目标读者是计划出国度假的英国旅行者。 B Standing at the top of the Eiffel Tower, almost everyone looks down. Tourists push their way to peer at Paris’s famous landmarks. Yet those in the know gaze upwards: they climb to the highest public platform to view not the metropolis, but a mosaic (镶嵌画). Invader, the Frenchman behind the mosaic, is one of the most productive street artists in the world. He has planted more than 1,500 works across Paris alone. There are thousands more such “invasions” in over 80 cities around the world, from New York to Tokyo. His works have been attached to the Hollywood sign and a ski lift in the Swiss Alps; they lie at the bottom of the ocean near Cancún and orbit Earth in the International Space Station. Like any successful intruder and serious street artist, his identity is a secret. That hasn’t stopped him from gaining fans. If you know a child in a city that has been invaded, chances are you’ve heard of FlashInvaders, an app on which you score points for finding the mosaics. The game has more than 550,000 players. Invader uses the ancient practice of mosaic to create figures inspired by video games. Each piece acts as a “perfect pixel (像素)”, which makes the mosaics look like digital images. The pixels also mean the images can be scanned on a phone, a bit like a QR code, to play FlashInvaders. The aim of the game is not only to interact with fans, but also to spark curiosity and urban exploration. Searching for the mosaics takes you to parts of cities you wouldn’t normally see. The app stands out because it encourages people to “look at their environment in a different way”. Mobile games are often criticised for gluing people to their phones, but this one teaches you to take notice of the world around you. Whether on a little-known street or at the top of the Eiffel Tower, it’s always worth looking up. 24. Why does the author mention tourists looking down from the Eiffel Tower? A. To introduce an artwork. B. To judge tourists’ behavior. C. To describe a common sight. D. To explain the tower’s design. 25. What do the locations in paragraph 2 show about Invader’s works? A. They have varied patterns. B. They focus on landmarks. C. They stay within city streets. D. They enjoy great popularity. 26. What role do the “pixels” play in Invader’s art? A. They blend art with interaction. B. They make the mosaics hard to recognize. C. They are mainly used to save time. D. They imitate QR codes in appearance. 27. What can the app contribute to according to the last paragraph? A. Personalized guided tours. B. Proper use of mobile games. C. Better knowledge of architecture. D. Sharpened real-world awareness. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了街头艺术家Invader及其马赛克镶嵌画作品，以及配套的FlashInvaders应用程序，讲述该艺术形式鼓励人们换个视角观察城市环境。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Standing at the top of the Eiffel Tower, almost everyone looks down. Tourists push their way to peer at Paris’s famous landmarks. Yet those in the know gaze upwards: they climb to the highest public platform to view not the metropolis, but a mosaic (镶嵌画). (站在埃菲尔铁塔塔顶，几乎所有人都向下看。游客争相眺望巴黎著名地标。但内行的人会向上看：他们登上最高的公共平台，看的不是这座大都市，而是一幅镶嵌画)”可知，向下看的人争相眺望巴黎著名地标，而内行的人看的不是这座大都市，而是一幅镶嵌画，可推理出作者描写游客向下看的场景，是为了引出这幅镶嵌画作品。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“He has planted more than 1,500 works across Paris alone. There are thousands more such “invasions” in over 80 cities around the world, from New York to Tokyo. His works have been attached to the Hollywood sign and a ski lift in the Swiss Alps; they lie at the bottom of the ocean near Cancún and orbit Earth in the International Space Station. (仅在巴黎，他就安放了1500多件作品。在全球80多个城市，从纽约到东京，还有数千件这类“入侵”作品。他的作品被贴在好莱坞标识、瑞士阿尔卑斯山的滑雪缆车上；还有作品位于坎昆附近海底，甚至在国际空间站环绕地球)”可知，他的作品遍布世界各地，安放地点丰富，可推理出作品广受喜爱，知名度很高。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Each piece acts as a “perfect pixel (像素)”, which makes the mosaics look like digital images. The pixels also mean the images can be scanned on a phone, a bit like a QR code, to play FlashInvaders. The aim of the game is not only to interact with fans, but also to spark curiosity and urban exploration.(每一块都充当一个“完美像素”，让镶嵌画看起来像数字图像。这些像素还意味着可以用手机扫描图像，有点像二维码，用来玩FlashInvaders游戏。这个游戏的目的不仅是和粉丝互动，还能激发好奇心，引导城市探索)”可知，这些像素将艺术创作与互动体验结合在了一起。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The app stands out because it encourages people to “look at their environment in a different way”. Mobile games are often criticised for gluing people to their phones, but this one teaches you to take notice of the world around you.(这款应用的特别之处在于鼓励人们“用不同的方式看待周遭环境”。手机游戏常被诟病让人沉迷手机，但这款应用教会你留意身边的世界)”可知，这款应用有助于提升人们对现实世界的感知意识。 C Few things are as undoubtedly good for you as exercise. Besides making you fitter and stronger, it cuts your risk of heart disease, strokes, diabetes, many types of cancer and more. But how much of the cure-all do you really need? The WHO recommends at least 150 minutes a week of moderate activity, such as easy jogging or cycling, and two sessions a week of strength training. Many still fall short. In America, for instance, less than half of adults meet the minimum recommendations for just cardiovascular exercise alone. Those who hate pounding the pavements need not despair, though. Even a little exercise is better than none. And a growing pile of evidence suggests that might be true even with very small amounts of exercise indeed: potentially just a few minutes a day. Recently a group of researchers published a study that analyzed data from 25,000 British people who did no organised exercise. The researchers were interested in “vigorous irregular lifestyle physical activity”, or VILPA — short bursts of relatively intense exercise undertaken in daily life. Few of the participants did much VILPA — the median was just 4.4 minutes per day. But even that was associated with a reduction in the chance of dying, from any cause, of up to 30% in the following seven years for which the average participant was monitored. The association persisted even after the researchers tried to account for the idea that causality (因果关系) might run the other way, with only the already healthy capable of performing VILPA. Exactly why VILPAs seem to be so good for you is not yet clear. But inspired by the results, some academics have started advocating “exercise snacks”: short bursts of activity that even the most gym-shy or time-pressed should be able to manage. As the old saying goes, every little helps. In fact, it may help much more than you think. 28. What do the WHO’s exercise guidelines advocate? A. A mix of intensities. B. Moderate activity. C. Intense workouts. D. Duration over frequency. 29. Which of the following is an example of VILPA? A. Jogging for 20 minutes at a steady speed. B. Doing push-ups during each work break. C. Climbing stairs quickly to a meeting. D. Walking the dog after supper. 30. What factor did the researchers take into account? A. Participants’ original health state. B. Methods for lowering the death rate. C. Participants’ daily exercise preferences. D. The length of people’s monitoring period. 31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage? A. How Little Exercise Can You Get Away With? B. VILPA: A New-style Strength-building Workout C. Should You Follow the WHO Exercise Guidelines? D. Exercise Snacks: Turn Daily Chores into Workouts 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了少量高强度日常活动对健康有益，即使每天仅几分钟也能显著降低死亡风险，并由此引出“运动零食”的概念。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The WHO recommends at least 150 minutes a week of moderate activity, such as easy jogging or cycling, and two sessions a week of strength training. (世界卫生组织建议每周至少进行150分钟中等强度活动，例如轻松慢跑或骑自行车，以及每周两次力量训练)”可知，WHO的锻炼指南提倡将中等强度活动与力量训练相结合，即混合不同强度的运动。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The researchers were interested in “vigorous irregular lifestyle physical activity”, or VILPA — short bursts of relatively intense exercise undertaken in daily life. (研究人员对“剧烈的不规则生活方式体育活动”或VILPA感兴趣，VILPA是日常生活中进行的相对剧烈的短时间运动)”可知，VILPA指的是日常生活中偶发的、高强度的短暂活动。C项“快速爬楼梯去开会”符合这一定义，属于日常生活中突然需要进行的较剧烈活动。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“The association persisted even after the researchers tried to account for the idea that causality (因果关系) might run the other way, with only the already healthy capable of performing VILPA. (即使研究人员试图解释因果关系可能反向的观点，即只有本来健康的人才能进行VILPA，这种关联仍然存在)”可知，研究人员考虑到了参与者原本的健康状况可能影响VILPA的完成，即考虑了参与者的原始健康状态。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章从WHO的锻炼建议引出问题“你真正需要多少这种万灵药？”，接着介绍研究发现即使极少量的高强度日常活动也能带来显著健康益处，最后提出“运动零食”的概念。全文围绕“最少需要多少运动就能获益”展开，A项“最少需要多少运动？”准确概括了这一核心话题。 D Some of the biggest challenges in artificial intelligence are being worked on not by computer scientists but by philosophers. The philosophers are tasked with making the next generation of models more capable and reliable, but they also shed light on the mystery of consciousness. Jonathan Birch at the London School of Economics and Political Science says AI companies are the big employers of philosophy PhDs right now. “Topics that have been researched in philosophy departments for decades — how to make rational decisions, what counts as reasoning, what counts as evidence of consciousness — are suddenly of massive value to AI companies,” says Birch. One of the key tasks for this crop of philosophers is alignment, the AI industry term for efforts to stop harmful content — such as revealing instructions on how to make bombs. Efforts to stop AI models giving dangerous outputs were initially focused around putting in simple black-and-white guardrails (护栏), such as forbidding a model from talking about bombs entirely. But these proved clumsy and easy to circumvent. Now, companies are pursuing more advanced methods which lean heavily on philosophical understanding of right and wrong. However, it’s rarely straightforward. Researchers have found that if you tell a model to break a rule in one specific situation, it will start breaking lots of other rules, says Shane Glackin at the University of Exeter in the UK. And understanding why is exactly the sort of problem that philosophy’s logical analysis can crack. Mahrad Almotahari at the University of Edinburgh sees value in philosophy expertise for technology firms, but is sceptical that the toughest questions of machine consciousness will be answered by them. Others see a potential problem on the horizon, with industry hiring philosophers eventually leading to biased research that serves the interests of technology companies. “I wish we had made more progress on the big questions of philosophy before the arrival of AI. If we had, we would have been better prepared. AI has now given these questions massive urgency, and yet, the answers still seem far away,” says Birch. 32. What phenomenon is presented in the first two paragraphs? A. Computer scientists are losing their jobs. B. Philosophers outperform computer scientists. C. Philosophy PhDs are favored in the job market. D. AI companies are turning to philosophy for help. 33. What does the underlined word “circumvent” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Take over. B. Get around. C. Pick up. D. Push forward. 34. How do the training methods of large language models shift? A. From theory analysis to practical use. B. From technical fixes to logical analysis. C. From rigid rules to moral reasoning. D. From simple tasks to complex situations. 35. What question does the text center on? A. Will philosophers win in the battle for better AI? B. Can the problems in AI be solved by philosophy? C. How can philosophers transform the AI industry? D. Why do AI companies prefer philosophers to coders? 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍人工智能领域的部分难题正由哲学家参与解决，介绍哲学家在AI对齐任务中的作用，同时也提及学界对于哲学能否解决AI相关难题的不同看法。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Some of the biggest challenges in artificial intelligence are being worked on not by computer scientists but by philosophers.(人工智能领域一些最大的挑战不是由计算机科学家解决，而是由哲学家来攻克)”以及第二段“Jonathan Birch at the London School of Economics and Political Science says AI companies are the big employers of philosophy PhDs right now.(伦敦政治经济学院的乔纳森·伯奇表示，人工智能公司现在是哲学博士的主要雇主)”可知，文章前两段呈现的现象是人工智能公司正寻求哲学领域的帮助。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Efforts to stop AI models giving dangerous outputs were initially focused around putting in simple black-and-white guardrails (护栏), such as forbidding a model from talking about bombs entirely. But these proved clumsy and easy to circumvent.(阻止AI模型输出危险内容的做法最初侧重于设置简单非黑即白的护栏，例如完全禁止模型谈论炸弹。但事实证明这些方法笨拙，很容易circumvent)”，可知划线词上文提到了阻止AI模型输出危险内容的做法最初侧重于设置简单非黑即白的护栏，还提到了事实证明这些方法笨拙，可推理出这些方法很容易被绕过，所以划线词的含义为“绕过，避开”。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Now, companies are pursuing more advanced methods which lean heavily on philosophical understanding of right and wrong.(如今，企业正寻求更先进的方法，而这些方法在很大程度上依赖于对是非的哲学理解)”可知，企业正寻求更先进的方法，而这些方法在很大程度上依赖于对是非的哲学理解，可推理出大语言模型的训练方式从死板硬性规则转向依托道德是非推理。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Some of the biggest challenges in artificial intelligence are being worked on not by computer scientists but by philosophers.(人工智能领域一些最大的挑战不是由计算机科学家解决，而是由哲学家来攻克)”、第五段“Mahrad Almotahari at the University of Edinburgh sees value in philosophy expertise for technology firms, but is sceptical that the toughest questions of machine consciousness will be answered by them.(爱丁堡大学的马赫拉德·阿尔莫塔哈里认为，哲学专长对科技公司有着重要的价值，但他也怀疑这部分专家能否解答关于机器意识的最棘手的难题)”以及最后一段““I wish we had made more progress on the big questions of philosophy before the arrival of AI. If we had, we would have been better prepared. AI has now given these questions massive urgency, and yet, the answers still seem far away,” says Birch.(伯奇说：“我真希望在人工智能问世之前，我们在哲学重大问题上就已经取得更多进展。倘若那时做到了，我们本可以准备得更充分。如今人工智能让这些问题变得万分紧迫，可答案似乎依旧遥遥无期。”)”可知，人工智能领域一些最大的挑战是由哲学家来攻克的，专家希望在人工智能问世之前，在哲学重大问题上就已经取得更多进展，目前人工智能让哲学上的重大问题的解决问题变得万分紧迫，可答案似乎依旧遥遥无期，可知全文围绕哲学能不能解决人工智能中的各类问题展开。 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。 A Seattle-area raccoon with a shortened spine (脊柱) has become one of the Internet’s most celebrated animals. Videos of Jimothy balancing on backyard fences and going about his nightly routine have gained millions of views. His popularity makes sense. ____36____. But what if our emotional investment in the life of a wild raccoon had less to do with Jimothy himself and more to do with what he awakens inside of us? ____37____. We spend our days in environments shaped entirely for people, created by people. Our screens and daily lives mostly reflect us to ourselves. However, something essential is lost when our lives become like that. ____38____. Encounters with wild animals de-center humans in a way that is both fascinating and expansive. Jimothy’s presence pulls us out of our own world and reminds us that we are fellow creatures existing within an ecosystem. Perhaps what draws us to Jimothy is not only his intriguing way of navigating urban life as a uniquely shaped raccoon, but the recognition that we ourselves have become disconnected from the natural world in the digital age. ____39____. Ecological identity is the part of our personal identities formed through relationships with landscapes, plants and animals. Recognizing that our identities extend beyond the borders of our skin and mind to include the natural world around us helps us to experience a sense of belonging. Our consciousness of our neighborhoods shifts from houses to ecosystems. Families of birds live in the trees, their lives unfolding in parallel with our own. ____40____. A. We exist as members of a larger web of life. B. Modern life has become almost human-centric. C. Our living environment has changed dramatically. D. Animals with cute appearance always capture our hearts. E. People are wired to interact with what we call wild otherness. F. He’s adorable and easy to recognize with his unique body shape. G. Seeing videos of Jimothy awakens our inner child who explored nature with wonder. 【答案】36. F 37. B 38. E 39. G 40. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了网红浣熊Jimothy因独特外形走红。文章指出人们喜爱它，不只是因其外表，更是野生动物唤醒了我们与自然的联结，让我们明白人类是生命网络的一员。 【36题详解】 前文“His popularity makes sense.(它走红是有道理的。)”提到走红是有道理的。后文“But what if our emotional investment in the life of a wild raccoon had less to do with Jimothy himself and more to do with what he awakens inside of us?(但如果我们对野生浣熊生活的感情投入，与其说是与Jimothy本身有关，不如说更多地与他在我们内心唤醒的情感有关呢？)” But转折，提到我们对这只浣熊投入情感，或许不单单是因为它本身。F选项“He’s adorable and easy to recognize with his unique body shape.(他外形独特，可爱且容易辨认。)”符合语境，代词he指代Jimothy，承接上文，解释表层原因，且引出后文更深层次的原因。 【37题详解】 本空是段首主旨句，后文“We spend our days in environments shaped entirely for people, created by people. Our screens and daily lives mostly reflect us to ourselves. However, something essential is lost when our lives become like that.(我们的一天生活被完全由人类塑造、为人类所设计的环境所包围。我们的屏幕和日常生活大多只是映照出我们自己的模样。然而，当我们的生活变得如此时，某种本质的东西却悄然失落了。)”指出我们生活在完全由人类打造、服务人类的环境，屏幕和生活只映照人类自身。B选项“Modern life has become almost human-centric.(现代生活几乎已变得以人类为中心。)”精准概括本段核心：现代环境一切围绕人建造。 【38题详解】 前文“However, something essential is lost when our lives become like that.(然而，当我们的生活变得如此时，某种本质的东西却悄然失落了。)”提到当生活变成这样（人类中心），一些重要的东西丢失了。后文“Encounters with wild animals de-center humans in a way that is both fascinating and expansive.(与野生动物的相遇，以一种既迷人又开阔的方式弱化人类的中心地位。)”提到遇见野生动物能够打破人类中心视角，提醒我们同为生态系统中的生物。E选项“People are wired to interact with what we call wild otherness.(人们倾向与与我们所说的“野生他者”互动。)”承上启下，解释为什么野生动物能打动我们，衔接“丢失重要东西”和下文遇见野生动物带来的改变。 【39题详解】 前文“Perhaps what draws us to Jimothy is not only his intriguing way of navigating urban life as a uniquely shaped raccoon, but the recognition that we ourselves have become disconnected from the natural world in the digital age.(也许吸引我们关注Jimothy的，并非他作为外形独特的浣熊，在城市生活中展现出的奇特生存方式，而更在于我们在数字时代里，自身已与自然世界逐渐疏离的事实。)”提到数字时代我们和自然世界脱节。后文“Ecological identity is the part of our personal identities formed through relationships with landscapes, plants and animals.(生态身份是我们通过与自然景观、植物和动物的关系形成的个人身份的一部分。)”立刻引入概念Ecological identity（生态身份）。G选项“Seeing videos of Jimothy awakens our inner child who explored nature with wonder.(观看Jimothy的视频唤醒了我们内心的孩子，用惊奇探索自然。)”承接上文“观看Jimothy视频唤醒我们内心探索自然的童心”，自然过渡到下文“生态身份”的论述。 【40题详解】 前文“Families of birds live in the trees, their lives unfolding in parallel with our own.(鸟群的家庭栖居在树上，它们的生命与我们的生命并行展开。)”提到鸟儿在树上栖息，生命和人类并行展开。本空为段落收尾总结句。A选项“We exist as members of a larger web of life.(我们是更广阔生命网络中的一员。)”总结全段生态主题：人类只是宏大生命网络中的一员，和前文鸟类与人类共存的例子呼应。 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。 Since I was a child, I’ve wanted to write for publication.

One hot July afternoon, while waiting outside for my dad to finish choosing which pastries ____58____ (catch) his eye, my sister grabbed my hand and rushed down the sidewalk.

As we got lost in the bustling streets, my heart swelled with pride and contentment. Chinatown, situated at the intersection of Chinese and American culture, combined together different worlds, ____60____ (one) I grew up feeling sandwiched between as a second-generation Chinese immigrant.

For as long as she could remember, Chesa had listened to her parents talk warmly about the Hinara, their hometown far across the ocean. Her parents described lush palm trees, warm tropical wind, tasty local snacks and the peaceful countryside where Grandpa lived. Chesa built a perfect, glowing picture of the Hinara in her mind, dreaming that it would be a wonderful oasis (绿洲) full of joy and beauty. At last, the whole family booked flights to visit their relatives. Full of eager excitement, Chesa boarded the plane, counting down the hours until she could step into her imagined paradise. But reality hit her hard the moment they arrived. The air was hot and sticky, full of thick moisture. The roads were narrow and bumpy. Local taxis rumbled (发出轰鸣) noisily along the streets, and simple wooden houses lined the roadside instead of the neat modern buildings she had pictured. Grandpa’s small house was plain and narrow, without the comfortable facilities she was used to back in Indiana. Disappointment washed over Chesa again and again. She refused to try local food, kept quiet during family gatherings, and avoided going out with her grandpa. She thought her dream oasis had turned into a dull, uncomfortable place. Grandpa noticed her low spirits and never blamed her. Every day, he gently invited her to tour around the village, yet Chesa always made up excuses to stay inside alone, wrapped in her negative mood. One afternoon, Chesa sat alone on the back porch, staring blankly at the messy yard, feeling regretful and lonely for being so cold to her kind grandpa. She wondered whether she would ever find the “oasis” she had long dreamed of. 注意：1．写作词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Slowly, Grandpa walked over and invited Chesa for a village tour on his motorcycle. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that unforgettable ride, Chesa finally understood the true meaning of an oasis. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】【参考范文】 Slowly, Grandpa walked over and invited Chesa for a village tour on his motorcycle. Hesitantly, she agreed, not wanting to hurt his sincere heart. As the old motorcycle moved slowly along the country road, a brand-new world unfolded before her eyes. Golden rice fields waved gently in the breeze, and clear streams ran quietly through the village. Local villagers greeted them warmly with big smiles, filling the peaceful countryside with warmth. Grandpa pointed at every corner of the village, sharing his sweet childhood memories and simple life stories. Listening patiently, Chesa gradually let go of her prejudice and disappointment. She began to feel the unique beauty and tranquility of this land. From that unforgettable ride, Chesa finally understood the true meaning of an oasis. An oasis was not a perfect, fancy place she had imagined blindly. Instead, it referred to the warmth of family affection and the simple happiness hidden in ordinary life. Ashamed of her previous selfish attitude, Chesa held Grandpa’s hand tightly. In the following days, she actively experienced local life, tasted traditional food and chatted with villagers happily. This precious journey taught her a profound lesson: true beauty lies in love and warmth rather than superficial appearances. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Chesa从小听父母描绘故乡，在脑海构建了一个美好如绿洲的想象世界。当她终于随家人抵达，却发现环境简陋，和想象差距巨大，满心失望，不愿融入当地生活，对爷爷态度冷淡。爷爷察觉到她低落的情绪，没有责怪她，依旧温柔邀请她逛村庄。一天下午，独自坐在门廊的Chesa满心懊悔，疑惑自己能否找到梦想中的那片“绿洲”。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句可知，本段要写Chesa答应邀请，骑行途中所见乡村景色、村民的热情，爷爷讲述往事，Chesa放下偏见，感受到这片土地独有的宁静美好。 ② 由第二段首句可知，本段揭示主旨：绿洲并非想象中华丽完美的地方，而是亲情的温暖与平凡生活里简单的幸福。描写Chesa内心愧疚，之后主动体验当地生活，感悟真谛 —— 真正的美源于爱与温情，而非外表。 2. 续写线索 应邀坐上爷爷的摩托车 → 沿途欣赏田园风光、感受村民热情 → 聆听爷爷童年故事 → Chesa放下失望与偏见，感受乡土之美 → 领悟绿洲的真正内涵 → 为之前的冷漠感到愧疚 → 主动融入当地生活 → 感悟 3.词类激活 行为类 ①展现：unfold/emerge/reveal ②放弃：let go of/abandon 情绪类 ①犹豫地：hesitantly/reluctantly ②羞愧的：ashamed/guilty 【点睛】【高分句型1】As the old motorcycle moved slowly along the country road, a brand-new world unfolded before her eyes.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Ashamed of her previous selfish attitude, Chesa held Grandpa’s hand tightly.（运用了形容词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语试卷 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号在答题卡上填写清楚。 2．每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。在试题卷上作答无效。 3．考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 注意，回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the woman advise the man to do?

Tourists push their way to peer at Paris’s famous landmarks. Yet those in the know gaze upwards: they climb to the highest public platform to view not the metropolis, but a mosaic (镶嵌画). Invader, the Frenchman behind the mosaic, is one of the most productive street artists in the world. He has planted more than 1,500 works across Paris alone. There are thousands more such “invasions” in over 80 cities around the world, from New York to Tokyo. His works have been attached to the Hollywood sign and a ski lift in the Swiss Alps; they lie at the bottom of the ocean near Cancún and orbit Earth in the International Space Station. Like any successful intruder and serious street artist, his identity is a secret. That hasn’t stopped him from gaining fans. If you know a child in a city that has been invaded, chances are you’ve heard of FlashInvaders, an app on which you score points for finding the mosaics. The game has more than 550,000 players. Invader uses the ancient practice of mosaic to create figures inspired by video games. Each piece acts as a “perfect pixel (像素)”, which makes the mosaics look like digital images. The pixels also mean the images can be scanned on a phone, a bit like a QR code, to play FlashInvaders. The aim of the game is not only to interact with fans, but also to spark curiosity and urban exploration. Searching for the mosaics takes you to parts of cities you wouldn’t normally see. The app stands out because it encourages people to “look at their environment in a different way”. Mobile games are often criticised for gluing people to their phones, but this one teaches you to take notice of the world around you. Whether on a little-known street or at the top of the Eiffel Tower, it’s always worth looking up. 24. Why does the author mention tourists looking down from the Eiffel Tower? A. To introduce an artwork. B. To judge tourists’ behavior. C. To describe a common sight. D. To explain the tower’s design. 25. What do the locations in paragraph 2 show about Invader’s works? A. They have varied patterns. B. They focus on landmarks. C. They stay within city streets. D. They enjoy great popularity. 26. What role do the “pixels” play in Invader’s art? A. They blend art with interaction. B. They make the mosaics hard to recognize. C. They are mainly used to save time. D. They imitate QR codes in appearance. 27. What can the app contribute to according to the last paragraph? A. Personalized guided tours. B. Proper use of mobile games. C. Better knowledge of architecture. D. Sharpened real-world awareness. C Few things are as undoubtedly good for you as exercise. Besides making you fitter and stronger, it cuts your risk of heart disease, strokes, diabetes, many types of cancer and more. But how much of the cure-all do you really need? The WHO recommends at least 150 minutes a week of moderate activity, such as easy jogging or cycling, and two sessions a week of strength training. Many still fall short. In America, for instance, less than half of adults meet the minimum recommendations for just cardiovascular exercise alone. Those who hate pounding the pavements need not despair, though. Even a little exercise is better than none. And a growing pile of evidence suggests that might be true even with very small amounts of exercise indeed: potentially just a few minutes a day. Recently a group of researchers published a study that analyzed data from 25,000 British people who did no organised exercise. The researchers were interested in “vigorous irregular lifestyle physical activity”, or VILPA — short bursts of relatively intense exercise undertaken in daily life. Few of the participants did much VILPA — the median was just 4.4 minutes per day. But even that was associated with a reduction in the chance of dying, from any cause, of up to 30% in the following seven years for which the average participant was monitored. The association persisted even after the researchers tried to account for the idea that causality (因果关系) might run the other way, with only the already healthy capable of performing VILPA. Exactly why VILPAs seem to be so good for you is not yet clear. But inspired by the results, some academics have started advocating “exercise snacks”: short bursts of activity that even the most gym-shy or time-pressed should be able to manage. As the old saying goes, every little helps. In fact, it may help much more than you think. 28. What do the WHO’s exercise guidelines advocate? A. A mix of intensities. B. Moderate activity. C. Intense workouts. D. Duration over frequency. 29. Which of the following is an example of VILPA? A. Jogging for 20 minutes at a steady speed. B. Doing push-ups during each work break. C. Climbing stairs quickly to a meeting. D. Walking the dog after supper. 30. What factor did the researchers take into account? A. Participants’ original health state. B. Methods for lowering the death rate. C. Participants’ daily exercise preferences. D. The length of people’s monitoring period. 31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage? A. How Little Exercise Can You Get Away With? B. VILPA: A New-style Strength-building Workout C. Should You Follow the WHO Exercise Guidelines? D. Exercise Snacks: Turn Daily Chores into Workouts D Some of the biggest challenges in artificial intelligence are being worked on not by computer scientists but by philosophers. The philosophers are tasked with making the next generation of models more capable and reliable, but they also shed light on the mystery of consciousness. Jonathan Birch at the London School of Economics and Political Science says AI companies are the big employers of philosophy PhDs right now. “Topics that have been researched in philosophy departments for decades — how to make rational decisions, what counts as reasoning, what counts as evidence of consciousness — are suddenly of massive value to AI companies,” says Birch. One of the key tasks for this crop of philosophers is alignment, the AI industry term for efforts to stop harmful content — such as revealing instructions on how to make bombs. Efforts to stop AI models giving dangerous outputs were initially focused around putting in simple black-and-white guardrails (护栏), such as forbidding a model from talking about bombs entirely. But these proved clumsy and easy to circumvent. Now, companies are pursuing more advanced methods which lean heavily on philosophical understanding of right and wrong. However, it’s rarely straightforward. Researchers have found that if you tell a model to break a rule in one specific situation, it will start breaking lots of other rules, says Shane Glackin at the University of Exeter in the UK. And understanding why is exactly the sort of problem that philosophy’s logical analysis can crack. Mahrad Almotahari at the University of Edinburgh sees value in philosophy expertise for technology firms, but is sceptical that the toughest questions of machine consciousness will be answered by them. Others see a potential problem on the horizon, with industry hiring philosophers eventually leading to biased research that serves the interests of technology companies. “I wish we had made more progress on the big questions of philosophy before the arrival of AI. If we had, we would have been better prepared. AI has now given these questions massive urgency, and yet, the answers still seem far away,” says Birch. 32. What phenomenon is presented in the first two paragraphs? A. Computer scientists are losing their jobs. B. Philosophers outperform computer scientists. C. Philosophy PhDs are favored in the job market. D. AI companies are turning to philosophy for help. 33. What does the underlined word “circumvent” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Take over. B. Get around. C. Pick up. D. Push forward. 34. How do the training methods of large language models shift? A. From theory analysis to practical use. B. From technical fixes to logical analysis. C. From rigid rules to moral reasoning. D. From simple tasks to complex situations. 35. What question does the text center on? A. Will philosophers win in the battle for better AI? B. Can the problems in AI be solved by philosophy? C. How can philosophers transform the AI industry? D. Why do AI companies prefer philosophers to coders? 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。 A Seattle-area raccoon with a shortened spine (脊柱) has become one of the Internet’s most celebrated animals. Videos of Jimothy balancing on backyard fences and going about his nightly routine have gained millions of views. His popularity makes sense. ____36____. But what if our emotional investment in the life of a wild raccoon had less to do with Jimothy himself and more to do with what he awakens inside of us? ____37____.

For as long as she could remember, Chesa had listened to her parents talk warmly about the Hinara, their hometown far across the ocean. Her parents described lush palm trees, warm tropical wind, tasty local snacks and the peaceful countryside where Grandpa lived. Chesa built a perfect, glowing picture of the Hinara in her mind, dreaming that it would be a wonderful oasis (绿洲) full of joy and beauty. At last, the whole family booked flights to visit their relatives. Full of eager excitement, Chesa boarded the plane, counting down the hours until she could step into her imagined paradise. But reality hit her hard the moment they arrived. The air was hot and sticky, full of thick moisture. The roads were narrow and bumpy. Local taxis rumbled (发出轰鸣) noisily along the streets, and simple wooden houses lined the roadside instead of the neat modern buildings she had pictured. Grandpa’s small house was plain and narrow, without the comfortable facilities she was used to back in Indiana. Disappointment washed over Chesa again and again. She refused to try local food, kept quiet during family gatherings, and avoided going out with her grandpa. She thought her dream oasis had turned into a dull, uncomfortable place. Grandpa noticed her low spirits and never blamed her. Every day, he gently invited her to tour around the village, yet Chesa always made up excuses to stay inside alone, wrapped in her negative mood. One afternoon, Chesa sat alone on the back porch, staring blankly at the messy yard, feeling regretful and lonely for being so cold to her kind grandpa. She wondered whether she would ever find the “oasis” she had long dreamed of. 注意：1．写作词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Slowly, Grandpa walked over and invited Chesa for a village tour on his motorcycle. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that unforgettable ride, Chesa finally understood the true meaning of an oasis. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。I can't . decide between the robotics club and the debate team.
