【原文】 Hi, everyone. I want to share with you what it’s like being on a cooking show. Many people think it’s easy, but actually it’s very stressful. I usually arrive at the studio around 7:00 a.m. First, I meet with the producer and we go through the script for the day. Then I go to the dressing room to change into my chef’s uniform. After that, the make-up artist makes sure I look good on camera. This usually takes only about 15 minutes because I don’t wear much makeup. We begin filming at around 9:00 a.m., but things don’t always go smoothly. Sometimes the cameras don’t work, or the sound is not clear, so we have to wait. When everything is ready, I start cooking and talking to the camera at the same time. It’s hard to do both. We usually finish by 5:00 p.m. but it depends on how many mistakes we make. After filming, I take off my uniform, say goodbye to the team and go home to rest. It’s a long day but I love sharing my recipes with the audience.

B
On Sept. 17, 2022, a father and son set out to begin an Ironman competition. Jeff, 59, and Johnny, 28, weren’t the typical athletes. Johnny has cerebral palsy (脑瘫), which causes walking difficulty. So Jeff would literally carry him throughout the race.
To qualify as official finishers, competitors must complete an exhausting 140 miles of swimming, bicycling and running in under 17 hours. The race began with a 2.4-mile swim. Jeff helped Johnny into a kayak and towed it while swimming. After the swim, they completed a 112-mile bicycle ride on a custom-built bike with an extra seat for Johnny. Then came the final leg — a 26.2-mile marathon with Jeff pushing Johnny in a racing chair.
At mile 19, Jeff panicked, convinced they were going too slow. Somehow he found the energy to pick up the pace. With minutes left and 200 feet to the finish line, Jeff stopped to help Johnny out of his racing chair. Johnny had once struggled to walk just 23 steps. But after years of painstaking work, he was determined to finish this race on his own. Johnny saw the clock ticking down and worried they wouldn’t make the cutoff. “Not because I wouldn’t get my moment,” he says, “but because Dad had worked so hard.”
After 16 hours, 55 minutes and 35 seconds — with just four minutes and 25 seconds to spare — father and son crossed the finish line together. As the crowd engulfed and cheered on an overwhelmed Johnny, a weary Jeff kept a low profile. “He didn’t want his finish line moment,” says Johnny. “He wanted it to be mine.”
24. What is the requirement for official finishers?
A. To defeat the fellow competitors.
B. To complete the demanding race in time.
C. To finish the regulated events in order.
D. To provide necessary support to a partner.
25. What does the underlined phrase “make the cutoff” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Meet the required time limit.
B. Receive special recognition.
C. Break the competition record.
D. Keep up with other competitors.
26. What was Johnny’s main concern near the end of the race?
A. Missing his own shining chance.
B. Wasting his father’s hard efforts.
C. Losing the top ranking in the race.
D. Disappointing the crowd’s expectations.
27. What is the overall writing purpose of this passage?
A. To highlight the tremendous power of endurance.
B. To honor Johnny for overcoming physical adversity.
C. To explain the fundamental rules of the competition.
D. To praise the father’s sacrifice behind the son’s glory.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了父亲杰夫带着患有脑瘫的儿子约翰尼挑战铁人三项赛事的故事。父亲全程以拖行、改装车搭载、轮椅推行的方式陪伴儿子参赛,最终在时限前携手冲线,将高光时刻留给儿子,彰显了深沉无私的父爱。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“To qualify as official finishers, competitors must complete an exhausting 140 miles of swimming, bicycling and running in under 17 hours.( 要获得正式完赛资格,选手必须在不到17小时内完成长达140英里的游泳、骑行和跑步组合项目。)”可知,官方完赛者的要求是在规定时间内完成具有挑战性的比赛。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“To qualify as official finishers, competitors must complete an exhausting 140 miles of swimming, bicycling and running in under 17 hours.(要获得正式完赛资格,选手必须在不到17小时内完成长达140英里的游泳、骑行和跑步组合项目。)”以及划线短语句中“Johnny saw the clock ticking down and worried they wouldn’t…(看着计时器不断倒数,约翰尼担心他们可能无法……。)”可知,约翰尼担心他们可能无法赶上截止时间。故可猜测划线短语make the cutoff为“按时完成任务”的意思,和A选项Meet the required time limit“满足所需的时间限制”意思相近。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中““Not because I wouldn’t get my moment,” he says, “but because Dad had worked so hard.”(“不是因为我没得到属于自己的时刻,”他说,“而是因为爸爸已经付出了这么多努力。”)”可知,比赛接近尾声时,约翰尼的主要担忧是辜负父亲的辛苦付出。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,全文围绕父亲杰夫带着脑瘫儿子完成铁人三项展开,详细描写了父亲全程托举、拖拽、推行儿子的付出,结尾重点突出父亲在冲线时刻主动退居幕后、把荣耀全部留给儿子的细节,核心是歌颂父爱与父亲在儿子光环背后的默默牺牲。
C
Artificial intelligence is changing how we predict the weather. Every year since 2018, Nature magazine has drawn up a list of emerging technologies to watch in the coming year. For 2026, one of the seven technologies on the list is AI-powered meteorology — and for good reason.
Traditional weather forecasting relies on physics-based models. Supercomputers solve complex equations to simulate how temperature, pressure, and wind evolve over time. These models are computationally expensive and often take hours to produce a single forecast. But AI is offering a faster, smarter alternative.
AI weather models are trained on decades of historical weather data. Instead of solving physical equations, they learn to recognize patterns and make predictions based on what they have seen before. The result is dramatic: forecasts that once took hours can now be generated in seconds. And they are not just faster — in many cases, they are also more accurate.
Consider Hurricane Melissa, which caused severe damage in the Caribbean last October. While traditional models were still processing data, an AI model developed by researchers at Google DeepMind in London anticipated that the storm would become a category-5 event days in advance. It also accurately predicted the hurricane’s path, giving local authorities more time to prepare.
But AI forecasting is not without its limitations. These models struggle with rare or unprecedented weather events that fall outside their training data. A storm behaving in an entirely new way might confuse an AI system that has never seen anything like it. For this reason, most experts believe the future lies in combining both approaches — using AI for speed and traditional models for reliability in extreme cases.
One thing is already clear: AI has forever changed how we predict the weather, from local storms to global climate patterns.
28. What is an advantage of AI weather models over traditional ones?
A. They require less training data.
B. They generate forecasts in less time.
C. They solve more complex equations.
D. They can predict any type of weather.
29. What does the author mainly intend to show in paragraph 4?
A. Traditional models are useful.
B. How Hurricane Melissa was formed.
C. AI weather models show high accuracy.
D. Traditional and AI models have respective strengths.
30. What is a limitation of AI weather forecasting?
A. It is too slow for everyday use.
B. It needs supercomputers to run.
C. It cannot learn from historical data.
D. It struggles with rare weather events.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Hurricane Melissa: A Victory for AI
B. AI Is Changing Weather Forecasting
C. AI vs Traditional Models: Which One Wins?
D. The End of Physics-Based Weather Prediction
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了人工智能正在改变天气预报方式,介绍了AI气象模型相比传统模型的优势、具体应用案例(如预测飓风Melissa)、存在的局限性,以及专家认为未来应将AI与传统模型结合使用的观点。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The result is dramatic: forecasts that once took hours can now be generated in seconds. (结果是显著的:过去需要数小时才能生成的预报现在可以在几秒钟内完成。)”可知,AI天气模型的一个优势是生成预报所需时间更少。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“While traditional models were still processing data, an AI model developed by researchers at Google DeepMind in London anticipated that the storm would become a category-5 event days in advance. It also accurately predicted the hurricane's path, giving local authorities more time to prepare. (当传统模型仍在处理数据时,伦敦谷歌DeepMind研究人员开发的AI模型提前数天预测风暴将升级为五级飓风。它还准确预测了飓风路径,使当地政府有更多时间准备。)”可知,本段通过飓风Melissa的案例主要展示了AI天气模型的高准确性。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“These models struggle with rare or unprecedented weather events that fall outside their training data. A storm behaving in an entirely new way might confuse an AI system that has never seen anything like it. (这些模型难以应对训练数据之外的罕见或前所未有的天气事件。一场以全新方式运行的风暴可能会让从未见过类似情况的AI系统感到困惑。)”可知,AI天气预报的局限性在于难以应对罕见天气事件。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence is changing how we predict the weather. (人工智能正在改变我们预测天气的方式。)”以及最后一段“One thing is already clear: AI has forever changed how we predict the weather, from local storms to global climate patterns. (有一件事已经很清楚:AI已经永远改变了我们预测天气的方式,从局部风暴到全球气候模式。)”可知,全文围绕“人工智能正在改变天气预报”这一主题展开,B符合。
D
Digital dementia (痴呆) has become a common cognitive hypothesis (认知假说) in the 21st century — it has weakened our ability to remember phone numbers because we store them all in contact lists, filled our waking hours with passive screen time like mindlessly watching TV, and shifted our attention with endless information streams.
But does technology truly harm the aging brain? A comprehensive new study by researchers from the United States provides an unexpected answer. Published in Nature Human Behaviour, the study combined data from 57 previous studies, which included more than 411,000 adults aged over 50. Surprisingly, the research overall revealed that higher use of computers, smartphones, and the internet might actually be associated with lower rates of cognitive decline, with a 58 percent risk reduction.
Interestingly, the effect of technology use on brain function found in this study was similar to or stronger than other known protective factors, such as physical activity, or maintaining a healthy blood pressure. This benefit remained significant even when factors like socioeconomic status and overall health were taken into account.
Why does technology use benefit older adults? Researchers suggest it comes down to how we use it. Activities, like reading or learning a new language, are known to protect our brains as we age. Similarly, greater engagement with technology may serve as a form of mental exercise. Adapting to software updates or learning to use a new smartphone keeps the brain active. Additionally, technology helps older people stay socially connected and independent for longer.
“The impact of AI on the aging brain will only become evident in future decades. However, our ability to adapt to historical technological innovations, and the potential for this to support cognitive function, suggest the future may not be all bad. For example, advances in brain-computer connections offer new hope for people with neurological (神经系统的) disease or disability. We need to carefully study how these technologies affect cognitive health over time,” says Nikki-Anne Wilson.
32. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept.
C. By providing statistics. D. By giving examples.
33. What can be inferred about the protective effect of technology use?
A. It may outperform healthy management.
B. It can reduce the need for exercise.
C. It maintains the blood pressure.
D. It varies with socioeconomic status.
34. What determines the benefits of technology use on older adults?
A. The number of online friends. B. The mental and social stimulation.
C. The frequency of software updates. D. The independent and active reading.
35. What are Nikki-Anne Wilson’s words about?
A. Advances in technological innovations. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. More care to the neurologically disabled. D. Potential application of the findings.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了研究发现合理使用数字技术可能降低老年人认知衰退风险,并探讨其背后机制与未来研究方向。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Digital dementia (痴呆) has become a common cognitive hypothesis (认知假说) in the 21st century — it has weakened our ability to remember phone numbers because we store them all in contact lists, filled our waking hours with passive screen time like mindlessly watching TV, and shifted our attention with endless information streams.(数字痴呆已成为21世纪常见的认知假说——它削弱了我们记忆电话号码的能力,因为我们将其存储在通讯录中;它用无意识地看电视等被动屏幕时间填充了我们的清醒时光;它用无尽的信息流转移了我们的注意力)”可知,作者通过定义新概念引出话题。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Interestingly, the effect of technology use on brain function found in this study was similar to or stronger than other known protective factors, such as physical activity, or maintaining a healthy blood pressure.(有趣的是,这项研究发现的技术使用对大脑功能的影响,类似于或强于其他已知的保护因素,例如体育锻炼或维持健康血压)”可推知,技术使用的保护作用在效果上可能优于健康管理(如保持血压健康)。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Similarly, greater engagement with technology may serve as a form of mental exercise. Adapting to software updates or learning to use a new smartphone keeps the brain active. Additionally, technology helps older people stay socially connected and independent for longer.(同样,更多地使用科技产品可以作为一种精神锻炼。适应软件更新或学习使用新智能手机可以让大脑保持活跃。此外,技术帮助老年人保持更长时间的社交联系和独立性)”可知,技术使用对老年人的益处取决于其带来的脑力刺激和社会联系,即精神和社会层面的刺激。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的““The impact of AI on the aging brain will only become evident in future decades. However, our ability to adapt to historical technological innovations, and the potential for this to support cognitive function, suggest the future may not be all bad. For example, advances in brain-computer connections offer new hope for people with neurological (神经系统的) disease or disability. We need to carefully study how these technologies affect cognitive health over time,” says Nikki-Anne Wilson.(Nikki-Anne Wilson表示:“人工智能对老龄化大脑的影响,未来几十年才会显现。然而,我们适应历次技术创新的能力,以及技术助力认知功能的潜力,都预示着未来未必全然黯淡。譬如,脑机连接技术的进步,便为罹患神经系统疾病或身体残疾的人群带来了新的希望。我们需要审慎研究这些技术如何随时间推移影响认知健康。”)”可知,Nikki-Anne Wilson主要指出了当前研究的局限性,并提出了未来需要关注的研究方向。

Why “Follow Your Passion” May Mislead You
Leaving college for the job market has never been easy. Today AI is automating entry-level roles, and 40% of recent graduates work in jobs that do not need a degree. Finding your life’s work feels harder than ever. ____36____
Many best-selling books tell young people to discover what they love and then find a matching job. But the authors of those books are often exceptional successes shaped by survivorship bias (幸存者偏差). ____37____ Hard work and passion alone rarely guarantee a career.
A stronger approach comes from advisers who study ordinary people, not winners. ____38____ They argue that instead of chasing a passion you may not have, you should build rare and valuable skills that help others; passion can grow later.
Technology keeps redrawing the map. When ATMs appeared, banks hired more clerks, not fewer, because lower costs meant more branches. ____39____ Workers should keep adapting toward skills that grow more useful as machines change.
In the end, careers rarely run in a straight line. Famous figures tried many things before their calling — and in an age of AI, certainty is rare. ____40____
A. Schools should ban all career books immediately.
B. Their inspiring stories offer little guidance to the average graduate.
C. They examine careers from the choices facing ordinary people.
D. Following your passion is always the safest path to a high salary.
E. So the most popular advice — “follow your passion” — deserves a second look.
F. The example shows automation can raise demand for related human skills, not just destroy jobs.
G. Anyone unsure how to spend their working years could do worse than keep experimenting.
【答案】36. E 37. B 38. C 39. F 40. G
【解析】
【导语】文章围绕“追随激情”这一流行建议展开讨论,指出该建议可能存在误导,并提出应注重培养稀缺有价值的技能、持续适应变化等更务实的职业发展思路。
【36题详解】
根据前文“Finding your life's work feels harder than ever. (找到一生的事业比以往任何时候都更难)”以及文章标题“Why “Follow Your Passion” May Mislead You(为什么“追随激情”可能误导你)”可知,前文描述了就业环境的困难,此处需要一个承上启下的句子引出“追随激情”这一流行建议值得重新审视。E项“So the most popular advice — “follow your passion” — deserves a second look.(因此,最流行的建议——“追随激情”——值得重新审视)”中“So”承接前文困难的现状,“a second look”呼应标题中“mislead”。
【37题详解】
根据前文“But the authors of those books are often exceptional successes shaped by survivorship bias (幸存者偏差). (但这些书的作者往往是受幸存者偏差影响的特殊成功者)”可知,这些作者的成功具有特殊性,并不具有普遍参考价值。B项“Their inspiring stories offer little guidance to the average graduate. (他们鼓舞人心的故事对普通毕业生几乎没有指导意义)”中“Their inspiring stories”指代前文畅销书作者的成功故事,“little guidance to the average graduate”与“exceptional successes”和“survivorship bias”形成逻辑呼应,说明这些故事不适用于普通人。
【38题详解】
根据前文“A stronger approach comes from advisers who study ordinary people, not winners. (一种更有效的方法来自研究普通人而非成功者的顾问)”可知,此处需要进一步说明这些顾问的研究方式。C项“They examine careers from the choices facing ordinary people. (他们从普通人面临的选择角度来审视职业)”中“They”指代前文“advisers”,“ordinary people”与前文“study ordinary people”一致,具体说明了这些顾问如何研究职业。
【39题详解】
根据前文“When ATMs appeared, banks hired more clerks, not fewer, because lower costs meant more branches. (当ATM出现时,银行雇佣了更多而非更少的柜员,因为更低的成本意味着更多的分支机构)”可知,自动化并未简单地消灭工作岗位,反而催生了新的需求。F项“The example shows automation can raise demand for related human skills, not just destroy jobs. (这个例子表明,自动化可以提高对相关人类技能的需求,而不仅仅是摧毁工作)”中“The example”指代前文ATM的例子,“raise demand for related human skills”是对“hired more clerks”的概括归纳,“not just destroy jobs”与“not fewer”对应。
【40题详解】
根据前文“In the end, careers rarely run in a straight line. Famous figures tried many things before their calling — and in an age of AI, certainty is rare. (最终,职业很少是一条直线。名人在找到使命之前尝试了许多事情——在人工智能时代,确定性是罕见的)”可知,文章强调职业发展充满不确定性,需要不断尝试。G项“Anyone unsure how to spend their working years could do worse than keep experimenting. (任何不确定如何规划职业生涯的人,不妨多尝试)”中“keep experimenting”与前文“tried many things”呼应,“certainty is rare”为“could do worse than keep experimenting”提供了逻辑依据。

【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了起初不被作者完全接纳的小狗Kaya,通过深夜持续吠叫示警,帮助邻居及时抓获入室窃贼的暖心故事。
【41题详解】
考查动词。句意:她漂亮的眼睛打动了儿子,但我却不容易被取悦。A. replace替换;B. defeat击败;C. award奖励;D. please使高兴,取悦。根据前文“Her beautiful eyes won him over”及后文“The dog needed to have a bath and had better not sleep on our sofa.”可知,狗赢得了儿子的心,作者提出养狗的条件,并不容易被这只小狗打动、取悦。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:我提出了几项要求:这只狗需要洗澡,最好不要睡在我们的沙发上。A. promises承诺;B. adjustments调整;C. demands要求;D. impressions印象。根据冒号后“The dog needed to have a bath and had better not sleep on our sofa.”列出的两条养狗规则可知,这是作者对养狗提出的条件和要求。
【43题详解】
考查动词。句意:不幸的是,我没有提到“不许吠叫”这一条。A. understood理解;B. mentioned提及;C. tracked追踪;D. permitted允许。根据前文“The dog needed to have a bath and had better not sleep on our sofa.”可知,作者只说了洗澡和不能睡沙发的要求,但没提到“不许叫”这一条。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:最初的几个晚上,Kaya一直叫,没人能睡好觉。A. sleep睡眠;B. response回应;C. assignment任务;D. strength力气。根据前文“Kaya kept barking”可知,小狗整夜吠叫,全家人都没法好好睡觉。
【45题详解】
考查动词短语。句意:谢天谢地,大约一周后,Kaya适应了新家,整晚都不再叫了。A. pulled over靠边停车;B. broke down出故障,崩溃;C. settled in适应新环境;D. woke up醒来。根据空后“stopped barking throughout the night”可知,小狗刚到家不适应才会整夜叫,一周后适应了新环境就不再乱叫。
【46题详解】
考查动词。句意:Kaya和我们一起生活了将近三个月,一天凌晨4点,她开始疯狂地叫起来。A. finished完成;B. practiced练习;C. postponed推迟;D. started开始。根据空后“barking like crazy. I looked outside and saw her running up and down along the fence”可知,此处描写凌晨突然发生的动作,小狗开始狂叫。
【47题详解】
考查动词。句意:我往外看,看到她沿着我们和邻居共用的围栏来回跑。A. shared共用,共享;B. avoided避免;C. hid隐藏;D. threw扔。根据空后“with our neighbors”可知,两家相邻的围栏是双方共同拥有、使用的。
【48题详解】
考查形容词。句意:吵闹声大到足以把邻居吵醒。A. shiny闪亮的;B. noisy吵闹的;C. trendy时髦的;D. heavy沉重的。根据空后“enough to wake up the neighbors”可知,能把邻居吵醒,说明小狗的叫声非常吵闹。
【49题详解】
考查名词。句意:接着传来一声喊叫,随后是玻璃破碎和门砰地关上的声音。A. plot情节;B. demonstration演示;C. sound声音;D. cause原因。根据空后“of glass breaking and a door slamming”可知,玻璃碎掉、门被关上都是可以听到的声响。
【50题详解】
考查副词。句意:随后,更多的叫喊声和撞击声接踵而至,全部伴随着我们家狗持续不断的背景噪音。A. Ultimately最终;B. Regretfully遗憾地;C. Fortunately幸运地;D. Subsequently随后。根据前文“Then came a shout, followed by the of glass breaking and a door slamming (砰地关上).”及空后“more shouts and banging followed”可知,承接前文一系列声响事件,表示紧接着又发生别的动静。
【51题详解】
考查形容词。句意:随后,更多的叫喊声和撞击声接踵而至,全部伴随着我们家狗持续不断的背景噪音。A. unheard没被听到的;B. constant持续不断的;C. dangerous危险的;D. illegal非法的。根据最后一段中“I attempted to quiet down the dog”可知,小狗一直在吠叫,是持续不断的背景声响。
【52题详解】
考查动词。句意:我儿子走到外面去查看情况,我则试图让小狗安静下来。A. investigate调查,查看;B. fight打架;C. bounce弹跳;D. withdraw撤退。根据倒数第二段中“Then came a shout, followed by the of glass breaking and a door slamming (砰地关上). , more shouts and banging followed”可知,外面传来各种异响,儿子出门查看发生了什么。
【53题详解】
考查名词。句意:原来是Kaya听到邻居房子里传来异常动静。A. community社区;B. office办公室;C. store商店;D. house房子。根据后文“catch a burglar (窃贼) trying to break in through their back door”可知,窃贼试图从后门闯入,说明声音来自邻居家房屋。
【54题详解】
考查动词。句意:她开始吠叫,一直到邻居及时醒来抓住试图从后门闯入的窃贼并把他送进警局才停下。A. emerge出现;B. intervene干预;C. stop停止;D. move移动。根据空后“until the neighbors woke up just in time to catch a burglar (窃贼) trying to break in through their back door and send him to the police”可知,小狗的目的是示警,直到邻居醒来处理完窃贼事件,它才会停止吠叫。
【55题详解】
考查名词。句意:他们能上报的唯一损失就是碎了一块窗玻璃。A. loss损失;B. clue线索;C. conflict冲突;D. bonus奖金。根据后文“a broken pane of glass”可知,窃贼被当场抓住,邻居家唯一的损失就是被打碎的玻璃。

【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍豆腐的起源传说、向外传播的历程以及如今在全球范围内的创新食用发展情况。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:相传两千多年前,中国一位名叫刘安的王子在尝试炼制丹药时,意外发现了豆腐。固定搭配attempt to do sth.“尝试做某事”,不定式作宾语。
【57题详解】
考查连词。句意:他发现放置在特定环境下的豆浆会凝固,形成一种布丁状的物质,而这就是豆腐的起源。前后两个分句语义顺承衔接,需要并列连词and连接两个完整分句。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意:人们普遍认为,来华的佛教僧人将豆腐带回了日本等周边国家。此处修饰动词believed,universal的副词形式universally“普遍地”符合题意。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意:虽然东亚人食用豆腐已有一千多年,但豆腐在全球范围内流行却花费了更长时间。空前有动词gain,后面需要接名词作宾语,popular的名词形式是popularity,意为“人气、流行”。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:美国开国元勋之一本杰明·富兰克林写了一封信,附上了一些大豆,并在1770年称其为“中国奶酪”。此处考查with复合结构,soy beans和attach之间是被动关系,用过去分词。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意:李石曾是一名豆腐爱好者,人们常认为是他让豆腐在亚洲以外地区被广泛接受。enthusiast是可数名词单数,此处表示泛指一名爱好者,且enthusiast是以元音音素开头,用不定冠词an。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意:据说他是第一个就读法国军事学校的人。先行词man前面有序数词the first修饰,定语从句关系代词只能用that。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:他最终在蒙塔日农业学校求学,并致力于在法国推广豆腐文化。固定搭配devote oneself to doing sth.“致力于做某事”,to为介词。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意:如今,豆腐有着创意十足的吃法。空处修饰名词way,需要形容词作定语,create的形容词形式为creative,意为“有创意的”。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:目前,嫩豆腐就代表着这种细腻口感。主语the texture “Silken”和动词represent之间是被动关系,结合时间状语Currently可知用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为单数,应用is represented。
第三节 (共 10 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 15 分)
根据句子意思,在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
66. I wish to thank Professor Johnson, without____________ help I would never have made such great progress. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】whose
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:我要感谢约翰逊教授,没有他的帮助,我永远不会取得如此巨大的进步。分析句子结构可知,此处使用了非限制性定语从句,先行词为Professor Johnson,与help之间为所属关系,要使用关系代词whose作定语,故填whose。
67. Do you have a passion ____________________ software development that can fully realize your potential? (用适当的词填空)
【答案】for
【解析】
【详解】考查固定搭配。句意:你是否对软件开发充满热情,它能够充分发挥你的潜力?分析句子结构和意思可知,这里考查固定搭配 have a passion for,意为“对……有热情”。故填for。
68. The vegetarian burger was an ________ (innovate) which was rapidly exported to Britain.(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】innovation
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:素食汉堡是一种新食品,很快就传到了英国。结合空前的an可知,空处应填名词作表语,innovation新发明,新方法,可数名词,此处应用单数形式。故填innovation。
69. Based on ____________ (science) research, the report is reliable and convincing. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】scientific
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:该报告基于科学研究,可靠可信。根据句意和空格后的名词research可知,空格处应该用形容词scientific作定语,修饰后面的名词research。故填scientific。
70. I reached forward and ________ (gentle) moved my hand over the elephant’s neck. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】gently
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意:我向前伸出手,轻轻地把手移到大象的脖子上。空格处修饰动词moved,应用副词gently“轻轻地”,作状语。故填gently。
71. To prevent some diseases, we’d better drink ________ (boil) water. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】boiled
【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词。句意:为了预防一些疾病,我们最好喝开水。此处用过去分词修饰名词water,作名词的定语,boiled是过去分词,表示动作已经完成,boiled water即“烧开的水”,注意正在沸腾的水(boiling water)不能喝,所以不能使用boiling。故填boiled。
72. Moreover, the Internet has made ________ possible for people to keep in touch with their family and friends easily. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】it
【解析】
【详解】句意:此外,互联网使人们能够轻松地与家人和朋友保持联系。make it possible for sb. to do sth.是固定结构,it是形式宾语,真正的宾语是to keep in touch with their family and friends easily。
73. Up to now, he ________ (acknowledge) as one of the most outstanding writers of the century. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】has been acknowledged
【解析】
【详解】句意:到目前为止,他已被公认为本世纪最杰出的作家之一。Up to now 是现在完成时的标志。主语he与acknowledge是被动关系,因此用现在完成时的被动语态,助动词用has。
74. She got promoted yesterday, ________ exceeded everyone’s expectation. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】which
【解析】
【详解】句意:她昨天升职了,这超出了所有人的预期。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰上文句子,从句缺少主语,需用关系代词which。
75. When ________ (evaluate) the project, they encountered many difficulties with the data. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】evaluating
【解析】
【详解】句意:在评估这个项目时,他们在数据方面遇到了许多困难。When they were evaluating the project... 当从句主语与主句主语一致,且从句谓语含be动词时,可以省略主语和be动词,只保留现在分词。they和evaluate是主动关系,所以用evaluating。

第一节 英汉互译(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)
76. 我将始终着眼于变革的积极一面,接受变革,而不是抗拒变革。(汉译英)
________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it.
【解析】
【详解】主语我用I,表示“将始终”应用will always,描述将来的意愿用一般将来时;表示“着眼于变革的积极一面”应用look on the positive side of change,look on...为固定搭配,表示“接受变革”为accept it,表示“而不是抗拒变革”用rather than连接,表示“抗拒变革”为resist it,rather than连接两个并列动词短语,it指代change。
77. Using a lower temperature to draw out the extract, she found a substance that worked. (英译汉)
________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】通过用更低的温度萃取提取物,她发现了一种有效物质。
【解析】
【详解】Using a lower temperature to draw out the extract为现在分词短语作方式状语,译为“通过用更低的温度萃取提取物”;she为主语,译为“她”;found为谓语动词,描述过去的事情用一般过去时,译为“发现了”;that worked为定语从句,修饰先行词substance,译为“有效的”;a substance译为“一种物质”,作found的宾语。
78. 努力不是为了功成名就,而是为了成为有价值的人。(汉译英)
________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Try not to become a man of success, but try rather to become a man of value.
【解析】
【详解】表示“努力做某事”应用try to do sth,不定式作宾语;表示“不是……而是……”应用“not...but...”并列结构,“成为”为become;表示“功成名就”为a man of success,表示“有价值的人”为a man of value,名词短语作表语;“rather”为副词置于but之后加强转折语气。
79. While working there, out of a strong passion for knowledge, he continued to study, earning a doctorate in physics in 1905.(英译汉)
【答案】在那里工作期间,出于对知识的强烈热情,他继续深造,并于1905年获得了物理学博士学位。
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句的省略、固定搭配和现在分词。“while working there”是while引导的时间状语从句的省略形式,补充完整为“while he was working there”,译为“在那里工作期间”。out of意为“出于……”,strong意为 “强烈的”,passion意为“热情,激情”,介词for意为“对于”,名词knowledge意为“知识”,所以“out of a strong passion for knowledge”作状语译为“出于对知识的强烈热情”。continue to do意为“继续做某事”,动词study意为“学习”,所以主干部分“he continued to study”译为“他继续深造”。动词earn意为“获得”,此处和主语he构成主动关系,且发生在谓语动词之后,所以用现在分词的一般式的主动形式作状语。名词doctorate意为 “博士学位”,in physics意为“在物理学方面”。所以“earning a doctorate in physics in 1905”译为“并于1905年获得了物理学博士学位”。故本句可译为:在那里工作期间,出于对知识的强烈热情,他继续深造,并于1905年获得了物理学博士学位。
80. Your lights will come on the instant you enter the door along with your favourite music or TV programmes. (英译汉)
________________________________________________________________________________

【解析】
【详解】the instant表达为“一……就……”,引导时间状语从句,体现动作触发的即时性;you表达为“你”;enter the door表达为“步入家门”;along with表达为“伴随,与……一同”;your favourite music or TV programmes表达为“你最喜欢的音乐或电视节目”;your lights表达为“你的灯光”;will come on表达为“亮起”。主句使用一般将来时,the instant引导的时间状语从句用一般现在时表将来。

【答案】One possible version:
Last Friday our class had a debate whose topic was “Should civil drones be allowed?”. Opinions were divided on this topic.
Some students in favour of the idea thought civil drones could bring more convenience to our lives. For instance, they could deliver what we ordered to us instantly, which allowed us not to worry about traffic jams. Besides, they held a belief that in times of disaster, civil drones could arrive at places beyond the reach of rescue teams to give a hand.
On the contrary, others were against it. They argued that civil drones might spy on people. What’s worse, they might disturb regular flights and threaten people’s lives.
Personally, I’m for the first view. As long as we use civil drones properly, their advantages outweigh their disadvantages.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生介绍班级关于“是否应该允许使用民用无人机”的英语辩论赛情况,分别阐述正方、反方观点,并发表个人看法。
【详解】1.词汇积累
观点:opinion→perspective
担心:worry about→be concerned about
相反:On the contrary→conversely
打扰:disturb→disrupt
2.句式拓展
同义句转换
原句:What’s worse, they might disturb regular flights and threaten people’s lives.
拓展句:What’s worse, they might disturb regular flights which are operating normally and threaten people’s lives.
【点睛】
【高分句型1】Besides, they held a belief that in times of disaster, civil drones could arrive at places beyond the reach of rescue teams to give a hand.(运用了that引导的同位语从句)
【高分句型2】As long as we use civil drones properly, their advantages outweigh their disadvantages.(运用了as long as引导的条件状语从句)

Searching for something to watch? You’re in the right place. Welcome to our guide of the Best Movies, featuring Certified Fresh movie as they come in week by week! Here’s a list of films we’ve picked out for you.
A Beautiful Mind
A Beautiful Mind is the story of John Nash, a mathematician who went on to win the Nobel Prize for his Game Theory. This movie brings his whole journey on screen — from his beginning to his downhill ride.
The first half is all about his rise to fame while the second half shows how he slowly falls into madness. After many years of fighting, he finally is victorious.
Inside Out 2
Inside Out 2, Pixar’s sequel to the 2015 animation, sees a new set of emotions invade the head of its main character, Riley, as she hits puberty, with Anxiety kicking out Joy as commander-in-chief, accompanied by new sidekicks Ennui, Embarrassment and Envy. The core emotions tried to return to headquarters before Riley’s sense of self entirely breaks down.
If A Beautiful Mind was a little too heavy for you, Inside Out 2 would be the perfect fit. It’s a lighthearted drama that is funny and heartwarming for the most part.
Good Will Hunting
Good Will Hunting is a touching tale of a troubled young man called Will Hunting who is gifted with a natural talent in mathematics.
However, he is struggling to find his identity. He can solve any math problem, but not the one he seems to be struggling with in his life. His life seems to be getting only worse until one day he meets Sean, a therapist, who helps him find direction in life.
Creation
Creation is a story of a famous scientist, Charles Darwin, best known for his Theory of Evolution. This movie brings his struggling days into focus, the time when he was dealing with the loss of his daughter and was suffering from hallucinations (幻觉).

On Sept. 17, 2022, a father and son set out to begin an Ironman competition. Jeff, 59, and Johnny, 28, weren’t the typical athletes. Johnny has cerebral palsy (脑瘫), which causes walking difficulty. So Jeff would literally carry him throughout the race.
To qualify as official finishers, competitors must complete an exhausting 140 miles of swimming, bicycling and running in under 17 hours. The race began with a 2.4-mile swim. Jeff helped Johnny into a kayak and towed it while swimming. After the swim, they completed a 112-mile bicycle ride on a custom-built bike with an extra seat for Johnny. Then came the final leg — a 26.2-mile marathon with Jeff pushing Johnny in a racing chair.
At mile 19, Jeff panicked, convinced they were going too slow. Somehow he found the energy to pick up the pace. With minutes left and 200 feet to the finish line, Jeff stopped to help Johnny out of his racing chair. Johnny had once struggled to walk just 23 steps. But after years of painstaking work, he was determined to finish this race on his own. Johnny saw the clock ticking down and worried they wouldn’t make the cutoff. “Not because I wouldn’t get my moment,” he says, “but because Dad had worked so hard.”
After 16 hours, 55 minutes and 35 seconds — with just four minutes and 25 seconds to spare — father and son crossed the finish line together. As the crowd engulfed and cheered on an overwhelmed Johnny, a weary Jeff kept a low profile. “He didn’t want his finish line moment,” says Johnny. “He wanted it to be mine.”
24. What is the requirement for official finishers?
A. To defeat the fellow competitors.
B. To complete the demanding race in time.
C. To finish the regulated events in order.
D. To provide necessary support to a partner.
25. What does the underlined phrase “make the cutoff” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Meet the required time limit.
B. Receive special recognition.
C. Break the competition record.
D. Keep up with other competitors.
26. What was Johnny’s main concern near the end of the race?
A. Missing his own shining chance.
B. Wasting his father’s hard efforts.
C. Losing the top ranking in the race.
D. Disappointing the crowd’s expectations.
27. What is the overall writing purpose of this passage?
A. To highlight the tremendous power of endurance.
B. To honor Johnny for overcoming physical adversity.
C. To explain the fundamental rules of the competition.
D. To praise the father’s sacrifice behind the son’s glory.
C
Artificial intelligence is changing how we predict the weather. Every year since 2018, Nature magazine has drawn up a list of emerging technologies to watch in the coming year. For 2026, one of the seven technologies on the list is AI-powered meteorology — and for good reason.
Traditional weather forecasting relies on physics-based models. Supercomputers solve complex equations to simulate how temperature, pressure, and wind evolve over time. These models are computationally expensive and often take hours to produce a single forecast. But AI is offering a faster, smarter alternative.
AI weather models are trained on decades of historical weather data. Instead of solving physical equations, they learn to recognize patterns and make predictions based on what they have seen before. The result is dramatic: forecasts that once took hours can now be generated in seconds. And they are not just faster — in many cases, they are also more accurate.
Consider Hurricane Melissa, which caused severe damage in the Caribbean last October. While traditional models were still processing data, an AI model developed by researchers at Google DeepMind in London anticipated that the storm would become a category-5 event days in advance. It also accurately predicted the hurricane’s path, giving local authorities more time to prepare.
But AI forecasting is not without its limitations. These models struggle with rare or unprecedented weather events that fall outside their training data. A storm behaving in an entirely new way might confuse an AI system that has never seen anything like it. For this reason, most experts believe the future lies in combining both approaches — using AI for speed and traditional models for reliability in extreme cases.
One thing is already clear: AI has forever changed how we predict the weather, from local storms to global climate patterns.
28. What is an advantage of AI weather models over traditional ones?
A. They require less training data.
B. They generate forecasts in less time.
C. They solve more complex equations.
D. They can predict any type of weather.
29. What does the author mainly intend to show in paragraph 4?
A. Traditional models are useful.
B. How Hurricane Melissa was formed.
C. AI weather models show high accuracy.
D. Traditional and AI models have respective strengths.
30. What is a limitation of AI weather forecasting?
A. It is too slow for everyday use.
B. It needs supercomputers to run.
C. It cannot learn from historical data.
D. It struggles with rare weather events.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Hurricane Melissa: A Victory for AI
B. AI Is Changing Weather Forecasting
C. AI vs Traditional Models: Which One Wins?
D. The End of Physics-Based Weather Prediction
D
Digital dementia (痴呆) has become a common cognitive hypothesis (认知假说) in the 21st century — it has weakened our ability to remember phone numbers because we store them all in contact lists, filled our waking hours with passive screen time like mindlessly watching TV, and shifted our attention with endless information streams.
But does technology truly harm the aging brain? A comprehensive new study by researchers from the United States provides an unexpected answer. Published in Nature Human Behaviour, the study combined data from 57 previous studies, which included more than 411,000 adults aged over 50. Surprisingly, the research overall revealed that higher use of computers, smartphones, and the internet might actually be associated with lower rates of cognitive decline, with a 58 percent risk reduction.
Interestingly, the effect of technology use on brain function found in this study was similar to or stronger than other known protective factors, such as physical activity, or maintaining a healthy blood pressure. This benefit remained significant even when factors like socioeconomic status and overall health were taken into account.
Why does technology use benefit older adults? Researchers suggest it comes down to how we use it. Activities, like reading or learning a new language, are known to protect our brains as we age. Similarly, greater engagement with technology may serve as a form of mental exercise. Adapting to software updates or learning to use a new smartphone keeps the brain active. Additionally, technology helps older people stay socially connected and independent for longer.
“The impact of AI on the aging brain will only become evident in future decades. However, our ability to adapt to historical technological innovations, and the potential for this to support cognitive function, suggest the future may not be all bad. For example, advances in brain-computer connections offer new hope for people with neurological (神经系统的) disease or disability. We need to carefully study how these technologies affect cognitive health over time,” says Nikki-Anne Wilson.
32. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept.
C. By providing statistics. D. By giving examples.
33. What can be inferred about the protective effect of technology use?
A. It may outperform healthy management.
B. It can reduce the need for exercise.
C. It maintains the blood pressure.
D. It varies with socioeconomic status.
34. What determines the benefits of technology use on older adults?
A. The number of online friends. B. The mental and social stimulation.
C. The frequency of software updates. D. The independent and active reading.
35. What are Nikki-Anne Wilson’s words about?
A. Advances in technological innovations. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. More care to the neurologically disabled. D. Potential application of the findings.

Why “Follow Your Passion” May Mislead You
Leaving college for the job market has never been easy. Today AI is automating entry-level roles, and 40% of recent graduates work in jobs that do not need a degree. Finding your life’s work feels harder than ever. ____36____
Many best-selling books tell young people to discover what they love and then find a matching job. But the authors of those books are often exceptional successes shaped by survivorship bias (幸存者偏差). ____37____ Hard work and passion alone rarely guarantee a career.
A stronger approach comes from advisers who study ordinary people, not winners. ____38____ They argue that instead of chasing a passion you may not have, you should build rare and valuable skills that help others; passion can grow later.
Technology keeps redrawing the map. When ATMs appeared, banks hired more clerks, not fewer, because lower costs meant more branches. ____39____ Workers should keep adapting toward skills that grow more useful as machines change.
In the end, careers rarely run in a straight line. Famous figures tried many things before their calling — and in an age of AI, certainty is rare. ____40____
A. Schools should ban all career books immediately.
B. Their inspiring stories offer little guidance to the average graduate.
C. They examine careers from the choices facing ordinary people.
D. Following your passion is always the safest path to a high salary.
E. So the most popular advice — “follow your passion” — deserves a second look.
F. The example shows automation can raise demand for related human skills, not just destroy jobs.
G. Anyone unsure how to spend their working years could do worse than keep experimenting.

Many people think it's easy, but actually it's very stressful. I usually arrive at the studio around seven, eight. First, I meet with the producer and we go through the script for the day. Then I go to the dressing room to change into my chef's uniform. After that, the makeup parties make sure I look good on camera. This usually takes only about fifteen minutes because I don't wear much makeup. We begin filming at around nine AM, but things don't always go smoothly. Sometimes the cameras don't work or the sound is not clear, so we have to wait. When everything is ready. I start cooking and talking to the camera at the same time, it's hard to do both. We usually finish by five PM. That IT depends on how many mistakes we make. After filming, I take off my uniform, say goodbye to the team and go home to rest. It's a long day, but I love sharing my recipe with the audience. Hi everyone, I want to share with you what it's like being on a cooking show.
