The project is the brainchild of Elizabeth — Jane Baldry, a local harpist who bought the spot — then poor quality former agricultural land 18 years ago. She named it Pigwiggen Wood, and with the help of her two sons, has since turned it into a wildlife refuge. The dream to crown the space with a grand oak table was a longstanding one, Baldry told Positive News: “The Tudor oak came from an old estate in mid-Devon,” she said. “Five hundred years in the growing and 500 years preserved as a table in a Devon wood, a place where people can gather to share food, friendship and lively conversation.” Many of the comments from people who supported the crowd funding campaign brought tears to Baldry’s eyes. “Some people donated from across the oceans, and even though it’s unlikely that they will ever sit at the table, they said they’d donated because just knowing the Great Oak Table existed made them feel better about the world,” she said. “Over and over again the word ‘magical’ came up, an indication I think that we’re all so hungry for enchantment and a sense of belonging.” And now there are all the stories still to come, Baldry added: “the midsummer feasts, the bowls of steaming soup cooked over the fire on winter days, the children drawing and making things, the parish picnics, and the essential quiet days when visitors can simply relax and soak up the magic.” 4. What is special about the Great Oak Table? A. It is made from a rare type of oak. B. It is the most extensive single-oak table. C. Its benches have a seating capacity of 18. D. It is located in a significant agricultural land. 5. What can be inferred about the donors to the crowd funding campaign? A. They were hungry for the midsummer feasts. B. They were preserving ancient crafting techniques. C. They valued the symbolic meaning of the project. D. They have experienced the joy of sitting at the table. 6. How does Baldry envision the table’s future role? A. A temporary attraction for tourists. B. A symbol of personal achievement. C. A useful tool for cooking purposes. D. A lasting place for shared connections. 7. What can we learn from the text? A. Tradition ends where modern ambition begins. B. Silent forests hold secrets beyond our understanding. C. Magic blossoms when people unite to preserve heritage. D. Beauty in nature fades quickly if left without a watchful eye. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了人们团结起来将一棵橡树改造成巨大的橡木桌，人们聚在橡木桌上分享生活的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A Great Oak Table — plus accompanying benches capable of seating 60 comes after locals raised £ 22,555 to transform a 500-year-old oak tree that fell in a storm 15 years ago into what they believe is the longest table ever to be crafted from a single oak tree.(一张巨大的橡木长桌——外加配套的长凳，可容纳60人就座——是当地人筹集了22,555英镑后，将15年前在一场风暴中倒下的一棵有着500年历史的橡树改造而成的，他们认为这是迄今为止用一整棵橡树打造的最长的桌子。)”可知，大橡木桌的特别之处是这是单棵橡树所能制成的规模最大的桌子。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Some people donated from across the oceans, and even though it’s unlikely that they will ever sit at the table, they said they’d donated because just knowing the Great Oak Table existed made them feel better about the world(有些人甚至从大洋彼岸捐款，尽管他们不太可能有机会亲自坐在这张桌子旁，但他们表示，自己捐款是因为仅仅知道这张“巨大橡木长桌”的存在，就让他们对这个世界感觉更好了)”和“Over and over again the word ‘magical’ came up, an indication I think that we’re all so hungry for enchantment and a sense of belonging.(“神奇（magical）”这个词被反复提及，我认为这表明我们所有人都如此渴望得到一种被迷住的体验，以及一种归属感。)”可知，捐助者重视这项工程的象征意义。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Five hundred years in the growing and 500 years preserved as a table in a Devon wood, a place where people can gather to share food, friendship and lively conversation.(这棵树历经五百年生长，之后又以桌子的形态在德文郡（Devon）的一片树林中保存了五百年，那里是人们可以聚集在一起分享食物、友情和热烈交谈的地方。)”可知，Baldry认为这个桌子是一个共享联系的持久场所。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A Great Oak Table — plus accompanying benches capable of seating 60 comes after locals raised £ 22,555 to transform a 500-year-old oak tree that fell in a storm 15 years ago into what they believe is the longest table ever to be crafted from a single oak tree.(一张巨大的橡木长桌——外加配套的长凳，可容纳60人同时就座——是在当地人筹集了22,555英镑资金后打造而成的，他们将15年前在一场风暴中倒下的一棵有着500年历史的橡树，改造成了他们所认为的有史以来用单棵橡树制作的最长的桌子。)”和第三段“Five hundred years in the growing and 500 years preserved as a table in a Devon wood, a place where people can gather to share food, friendship and lively conversation.(这棵树历经五百年生长，之后又以桌子的形态在德文郡（Devon）的一片树林中保存了五百年，那里是人们可以聚集在一起分享食物、友情和热烈交谈的地方。)”可知，本文主要讲述了人们团结起来将一棵橡树改造成巨大的橡木桌，人们聚在橡木桌上分享生活的故事，因此可以从文中了解到“当人们团结起来保护遗产时，神奇就会绽放”。故选C。 C Young mice seemingly attempt to awaken an anaesthetized (被麻醉的) cage mate by cleaning, pawing and even pulling aside the tongue to clear its airway. Li Zhang at the University of Southern California and his colleagues filmed laboratory mice presented with a familiar cage mate that was either active or unconscious. Over several tests, mice devoted about 47 percent of a 13-minute observation period interacting with their unconscious partner. According to Zhang, “They start with sniffing and then very intensive interaction,” including licking the eyes, biting around the mouth, and pulling out the tongue in more than 50 percent of cases. In a separate test, researchers placed a plastic ball in the mouth of the unconscious mouse, and in 80 percent of cases, the helping mice successfully removed the object. Team member Huizhong Tao believes extending the observation period could achieve an even higher success rate. Furthermore, mice that received caregiving woke up and started walking sooner compared to those that were left unattended. Once the unconscious mouse started moving, the caregiving mice reduced and then ceased their assistance. Zhang notes that the observed behaviour is not analogous to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) which requires specialist training. Instead, it looks like using strong-smelling salts or basic first aid to ensure breathing. Zhang’s team found that these caregiving behaviours are driven by oxytocin (催产素)-releasing cells located in the brain, consistent with oxytocin’s known role in caregiving behaviours across vertebrates (脊椎动物). Two other research teams have recently reported similar behaviours, supporting the reliability of these findings. Cristina Márquez at the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology in Coimbra, acknowledges the findings’ accuracy but cautions against seeing animals act like humans or attributing intentions beyond observed actions. Zhang suggests the behaviour is likely natural, as tested mice were just 2 to 3 months old and had not previously experienced such scenarios. He suggests that this natural caregiving may enhance group unity and could be more widespread among social animals than previously recognised. 8. What is the main focus of the first paragraph? A. The training of mice to help companions in danger. B. The behaviours of mice helping unconscious partners. C. The percentage of mice avoiding interaction in cages. D. The activity level of mice toward their familiar mates. 9. When would helping mice stop giving care behaviours according to paragraph 2? A. When the research observation time ended. B. When unconscious mice showed no response. C. When unconscious mice began moving again. D. When the plastic ball was successfully removed. 10. What does the underlined word “analogous” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Similar. B. Opposite. C. Unrelated. D. Beneficial. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Mice and Medicine: Advanced Rescue Skills B. The Role of Training in Animal Rescue Behaviours C. Differences Between Wild Mice and Laboratory Mice D. First Aid by Mice: A Study of Natural Social Behaviour 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是实验室小鼠对被麻醉的笼中同伴表现出的照顾行为。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Young mice seemingly attempt to awaken an anaesthetized (被麻醉的) cage mate by cleaning, pawing and even pulling aside the tongue to clear its airway. (年幼的老鼠似乎会试图通过舔舐、轻拍，甚至拉起（同伴的）舌头以清理其气道的方式，来唤醒一只被麻醉的笼中同伴。)”可知，第一段的重点是老鼠帮助无意识的同伴的行为。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Once the unconscious mouse started moving, the caregiving mice reduced and then ceased their assistance. (一旦那只失去意识的老鼠开始动弹，照顾它的老鼠们便减少了帮助，随后便停止了援助。)”可知，当失去意识的老鼠又开始动弹时，提供帮助的老鼠便停止了照顾行为。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Instead, it looks like using strong-smelling salts or basic first aid to ensure breathing. (相反，这看起来更像是使用气味浓烈的嗅盐或进行基础急救措施以确保呼吸。)”可知，张指出，观察到的行为与需要专业培训的心肺复苏术（CPR）不同，划线词analogous的意思是“相似的”，故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Young mice seemingly attempt to awaken an anaesthetized (被麻醉的) cage mate by cleaning, pawing and even pulling aside the tongue to clear its airway. (年幼的老鼠似乎会试图通过舔舐、轻拍，甚至拉起（同伴的）舌头以清理其气道的方式，来唤醒一只被麻醉的笼中同伴。)”和最后一段“Zhang suggests the behaviour is likely natural, as tested mice were just 2 to 3 months old and had not previously experienced such scenarios. He suggests that this natural caregiving may enhance group unity and could be more widespread among social animals than previously recognised. (Zhang认为，这种行为很可能是天生的，因为参与实验的小鼠只有2到3个月大，且之前从未经历过这样的场景。他提出，这种天生的照顾行为可能会增强群体的凝聚力，并且在社会性动物中可能比之前所认知的更为普遍。)”可知，本文主要讲的是实验室小鼠对被麻醉的笼中同伴表现出的照顾行为，因此最恰当的题目是D选项“First Aid by Mice: A Study of Natural Social Behaviour (老鼠的急救：自然社会行为的研究)”。故选D。 D “I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing,” Joanna once said — and while the Poetry Camera goes against that very statement, it’s a perfect representation of how technology can help foster art between humans and AI. The Poetry Camera isn’t your average handheld instant shooter. Sure, it has a lens, and a shutter button, and it prints out stuff-but unlike Polaroid that prints pictures out on film, the Poetry Camera captures a scene, identifies its elements, and then uses AI to make a beautiful poem based on what the camera clicked. Essentially, the Poetry Camera runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 chip, with a Camera Module 3 connected to an Adafruit Mini Thermal Printer. Connection to OpenAI’s API allows the camera to feed AI images, and have it generate poetry as a result. The setup is fairly simple and it all fits inside this adorable 3D-printed case with just two controls—a shutter button for clicking the photo, and a knob (旋钮) that lets you adjust the number of verses you want. In a way, think of it as an exposure knob that gives the AI more space to see smaller details and the AI can create longer poems with more depth. The Poetry Camera is a pet project for now, as Kelin and Ryan aren’t preparing for mass production. Limited drops of the camera will be available to people who sign up for the newsletter on the website, although the price is unknown at the moment. This is far from the first time we’ve seen AI make its way into camera projects. Back in 2018, Dan Macnish created a camera that draws what it sees, while in 2023, we got the Paragraphica-a lens-less camera that used location and time data to generate AI images. The Poetry Camera is, in ways, similar to the Paragraphica in the sense that it uses an AI to generate something new. While Paragraphica did make images, like cameras are supposed to, the Poetry Camera turns scenes into poems, and if this is what the AI uprising will look like, count me in! 12. How is the Poetry Camera different from a Polaroid camera? A. It uses film to print photos. B. It focuses on capturing scenery. C. It helps humans with housework. D. It generates poems instead of photos. 13. What does the knob on the Poetry Camera control? A. The length of the printed poem. B. The speed of capturing images. C. The size of the printed photo. D. The connection to OpenAI 14. In what way will the Poetry Camera be offered to buyers? A. It will be sold globally at a low price. B. It will have limited availability at first. C. Mass sales plans are already in progress. D. There will be no restrictions on its purchase. 15. Why does the author mention the Paragraphica in the last paragraph? A. To state the overuse of AI for replacing human creativity. B. To suggest that Paragraphica stands above Poetry Camera. C. To illustrate a trend of combining AI with artistic creation. D. To emphasize the Poetry Camera’s uniqueness in creating images. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Poetry Camera这款结合人工智能与艺术创作的相机。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Sure, it has a lens, and a shutter button, and it prints out stuff-but unlike Polaroid that prints pictures out on film, the Poetry Camera captures a scene, identifies its elements, and then uses AI to make a beautiful poem based on what the camera clicked.(当然，它有镜头、快门按钮，也能打印东西，但与在胶片上打印照片的Polaroid不同，Poetry Camera拍摄场景，识别其中的元素，然后利用人工智能根据拍摄内容创作一首优美的诗歌)”可知，Poetry Camera与Polaroid的不同之处在于，它生成的是诗歌而不是照片。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The setup is fairly simple and it all fits inside this adorable 3D-printed case with just two controls—a shutter button for clicking the photo, and a knob (旋钮) that lets you adjust the number of verses you want. In a way, think of it as an exposure knob that gives the AI more space to see smaller details and the AI can create longer poems with more depth. (其设置相当简单，所有组件都能装进这个可爱的3D打印外壳中，仅配有两个控制部件：一个用于拍照的快门按钮，以及一个可调节诗歌行数的旋钮。从某种程度上说，你可以把它看作曝光旋钮，它能让人工智能有更多“空间”捕捉细节，从而创作出更有深度的长诗)”可知，Poetry Camera上的旋钮控制着打印诗歌的长度。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The Poetry Camera is a pet project for now, as Kelin and Ryan aren’t preparing for mass production. Limited drops of the camera will be available to people who sign up for the newsletter on the website, although the price is unknown at the moment.(Poetry Camera目前还只是一个个人项目，因为Kelin和Ryan并没有准备进行大规模生产。虽然目前价格尚不清楚，但在网站上注册时事通讯的人将可以获得有限数量的相机)”可知，Poetry Camera最初将限量发售。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This is far from the first time we’ve seen AI make its way into camera projects. Back in 2018, Dan Macnish created a camera that draws what it sees, while in 2023, we got the Paragraphica-a lens-less camera that used location and time data to generate AI images. The Poetry Camera is, in ways, similar to the Paragraphica in the sense that it uses an AI to generate something new.(这并不是我们第一次看到人工智能进入相机项目。早在2018年，Dan Macnish就发明了一种能画出它所看到的东西的相机，而在2023年，我们得到了Paragraphica——一种没有镜头的相机，它使用位置和时间数据来生成人工智能图像。在某些方面，Poetry Camera与Paragraphica相似，因为它使用人工智能来生成新的东西)”可知，作者在最后一段提到Paragraphica是为了说明人工智能与艺术创作相结合的趋势。故选C。 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。 Many high school seniors approach the college application essay with anxiety. They feel their lives are too ordinary to create a story that will impress admissions officers. ____16____ It just needs to be a genuine reflection of their personal growth, drawn from everyday moments. I once worked with a boy who had no idea what to write about. Family? Favorite subject? He kept silent until I suggested, “Hobbies?” He shyly said, “I like boxing.” Then his essay unfolded, not about boxing itself, but about self-discipline and resilience (坚韧), qualities that any college would admire. So look into the things that shape you. ____17____ Some students try to catch attention by writing their essays in unconventional forms, such as a poem or a play. Most still follow the traditional storytelling model: a hook (引子), a story, and a lesson learned. ____18____ For example, the rough edges and the pleasant smell of her father’s handmade furniture inspired one girl to become an engineer. The magic is in the details and emotional depth. As a writing tutor, I was hung up on language rules at first. Should I help my students stick to “standard English,” or let them write the way they naturally speak — even if that includes informal expressions? ____19____ It’s also about expressing ideas naturally and making connections with readers. It doesn’t hurt to tell a humorous childhood incident in a light, conversational tone. ____20____ Essay writing teaches students to express themselves with precision through rethinking ideas, refining language, and rewriting drafts. With multiple edits, they will uncover deeper insights and create a story only they can tell. A. After all, I preferred a formal writing style. B. A great essay eventually takes form in revision. C. I soon realized writing isn’t just about language. D. That’s why they try to make up appealing stories. E. Whatever the form, an essay stands out for its story. F. Once a topic clicks, the essay practically writes itself. G. But a powerful essay doesn’t require a dramatic story. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. E 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何写出好的论文提出了一些建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Many high school seniors approach the college application essay with anxiety. They feel their lives are too ordinary to create a story that will impress admissions officers.(许多高中毕业生都带着焦虑来写大学申请论文。他们觉得自己的生活太过平凡，无法编造一个能打动招生官的故事)”以及后文“It just needs to be a genuine reflection of their personal growth, drawn from everyday moments.(它只需要真实地反映他们的个人成长，从日常生活中汲取灵感)”可知，本句与上文构成转折关系，指出强有力的文章需要真实，而不是编造的故事。故G选项“但是一篇强有力的文章并不需要一个戏剧性的故事”符合语境，故选G。 【17题详解】 根据上文“I once worked with a boy who had no idea what to write about. Family? Favorite subject? He kept silent until I suggested, “Hobbies?” He shyly said, “I like boxing.” Then his essay unfolded, not about boxing itself, but about self-discipline and resilience (坚韧), qualities that any college would admire. So look into the things that shape you.(我曾经和一个不知道写什么的男孩一起工作。家庭吗？最喜欢的科目吗？他一直保持沉默，直到我提议：“爱好？”他害羞地说：“我喜欢拳击。”然后，他的文章展开了，不是关于拳击本身，而是关于自律和韧性，这些品质是任何一所大学都会钦佩的。所以看看那些塑造你的东西)”可知，上文主要论述了如何找到文章的主题然后展开文章的建议。故F选项“一旦找到了主题，这篇文章就自然而然地写好了”符合语境，故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Some students try to catch attention by writing their essays in unconventional forms, such as a poem or a play. Most still follow the traditional storytelling model: a hook (引子), a story, and a lesson learned.(一些学生试图通过非传统的形式来吸引注意力，比如一首诗或一个剧本。大多数仍然遵循传统的讲故事模式：一个引子，一个故事，一个教训)”可知，上文列举了不同的讲故事模式，本句承接上文，说明这些形式的作用。故E选项“无论采用何种形式，一篇文章都会因为它的故事而脱颖而出”符合语境，故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“As a writing tutor, I was hung up on language rules at first. Should I help my students stick to “standard English,” or let them write the way they naturally speak — even if that includes informal expressions?(作为一名写作导师，一开始我对语言规则很着迷。我应该帮助我的学生坚持“标准英语”，还是让他们用他们自然说话的方式来写——即使其中包括非正式的表达？)”以及后文“It’s also about expressing ideas naturally and making connections with readers. It doesn’t hurt to tell a humorous childhood incident in a light, conversational tone.(这也是关于自然地表达想法，与读者建立联系。用轻松、对话的语气讲述一个幽默的童年事件并没有什么坏处)”可知，本句主要是作者对于写作中的语言的感悟，故C选项“我很快意识到写作不仅仅是语言”符合语境，故选C。 【20题详解】 根据后文“Essay writing teaches students to express themselves with precision through rethinking ideas, refining language, and rewriting drafts. With multiple edits, they will uncover deeper insights and create a story only they can tell.(论文写作教会学生通过重新思考思想、精炼语言和重写草稿来精确地表达自己。通过多次编辑，他们将发现更深入的见解，并创造一个只有他们才能讲述的故事)”可知，后文提到经过编辑，文章会融入更深入的见解，说明了修改对于文章的重要性。故B选项“一篇伟大的文章最终是在修改中形成的”符合语境，故选B。 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） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Helen Cowan was sitting in the garden one evening when she heard a loud crash.

As food delivery is extremely common in China, it creates large amounts of waste due to the plastic containers. bags, and chopsticks that come with each order. This in turn has contributed to great environmental concerns for the waste packaging materials. We have therefore measured the amount of food delivery packaging waste in China. The results show that the total amount of packaging waste rose from 0.2 million metric tons in 2015 to 1.5 million metric tons in 2020.Over-packaging is also a concern. The food delivery packaging is not the fancier, the better. Instead, it is the more environment-friendly, the better. Therefore, it is high time that regulations were adopted to stop restaurants and companies from spending too much on unnecessary packaging and wrapping. Also, smart policy suggestions should be provided to handle the pressing issues, particularly using the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle environment-friendly practices. As the largest city in China, Shanghai has an important role in creating and seeking an efficient solution to the problem of waste. With over 24 million people living in Shanghai, materials sustainability (可持续性), particularly that of plastics, is a big problem. For example, delivery companies like Saucepan have begun to reduce the plastic usage of the food delivery in Shanghai by using biodegradable（可降解的) packaging in the delivery process. Besides, it encourages customers to recycle their plastic bags and reward them for every 10 used bags that they return to the company. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With food delivery gaining popularity, relevant problems are arising. Material waste as well as over-packaging has been a big headache, adding pressure to our worsening environment. Thus, regulations and policies should be adopted to ban unnecessary waste and encourage a green lifestyle. Shanghai has set a good example in this respect with the practices of biodegradable packaging and rewarding system. 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了由于网购的快速发展以及繁忙的生活，使送餐越来越受欢迎，但是与此同时，也产生了材料浪费和过度包装这样的加速环境恶化的问题。因此，应当出台相应的法规和政策禁止不必要的浪费，提倡使用更环保的材料，鼓励绿色生活方式。当然，上海在积极探索解决浪费的方法，比如使用可降解的包装以及鼓励消费者循环使用塑料袋。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ①.

B A Great Oak Table — plus accompanying benches capable of seating 60 comes after locals raised £ 22,555 to transform a 500-year-old oak tree that fell in a storm 15 years ago into what they believe is the longest table ever to be crafted from a single oak tree. The project is the brainchild of Elizabeth — Jane Baldry, a local harpist who bought the spot — then poor quality former agricultural land 18 years ago. She named it Pigwiggen Wood, and with the help of her two sons, has since turned it into a wildlife refuge. The dream to crown the space with a grand oak table was a longstanding one, Baldry told Positive News: “The Tudor oak came from an old estate in mid-Devon,” she said. “Five hundred years in the growing and 500 years preserved as a table in a Devon wood, a place where people can gather to share food, friendship and lively conversation.” Many of the comments from people who supported the crowd funding campaign brought tears to Baldry’s eyes. “Some people donated from across the oceans, and even though it’s unlikely that they will ever sit at the table, they said they’d donated because just knowing the Great Oak Table existed made them feel better about the world,” she said. “Over and over again the word ‘magical’ came up, an indication I think that we’re all so hungry for enchantment and a sense of belonging.” And now there are all the stories still to come, Baldry added: “the midsummer feasts, the bowls of steaming soup cooked over the fire on winter days, the children drawing and making things, the parish picnics, and the essential quiet days when visitors can simply relax and soak up the magic.” 4. What is special about the Great Oak Table? A. It is made from a rare type of oak. B. It is the most extensive single-oak table. C. Its benches have a seating capacity of 18. D. It is located in a significant agricultural land. 5. What can be inferred about the donors to the crowd funding campaign? A. They were hungry for the midsummer feasts. B. They were preserving ancient crafting techniques. C. They valued the symbolic meaning of the project. D. They have experienced the joy of sitting at the table. 6. How does Baldry envision the table’s future role? A. A temporary attraction for tourists. B. A symbol of personal achievement. C. A useful tool for cooking purposes. D. A lasting place for shared connections. 7. What can we learn from the text? A. Tradition ends where modern ambition begins. B. Silent forests hold secrets beyond our understanding. C. Magic blossoms when people unite to preserve heritage. D. Beauty in nature fades quickly if left without a watchful eye. C Young mice seemingly attempt to awaken an anaesthetized (被麻醉的) cage mate by cleaning, pawing and even pulling aside the tongue to clear its airway. Li Zhang at the University of Southern California and his colleagues filmed laboratory mice presented with a familiar cage mate that was either active or unconscious. Over several tests, mice devoted about 47 percent of a 13-minute observation period interacting with their unconscious partner. According to Zhang, “They start with sniffing and then very intensive interaction,” including licking the eyes, biting around the mouth, and pulling out the tongue in more than 50 percent of cases. In a separate test, researchers placed a plastic ball in the mouth of the unconscious mouse, and in 80 percent of cases, the helping mice successfully removed the object. Team member Huizhong Tao believes extending the observation period could achieve an even higher success rate. Furthermore, mice that received caregiving woke up and started walking sooner compared to those that were left unattended. Once the unconscious mouse started moving, the caregiving mice reduced and then ceased their assistance. Zhang notes that the observed behaviour is not analogous to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) which requires specialist training. Instead, it looks like using strong-smelling salts or basic first aid to ensure breathing. Zhang’s team found that these caregiving behaviours are driven by oxytocin (催产素)-releasing cells located in the brain, consistent with oxytocin’s known role in caregiving behaviours across vertebrates (脊椎动物). Two other research teams have recently reported similar behaviours, supporting the reliability of these findings. Cristina Márquez at the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology in Coimbra, acknowledges the findings’ accuracy but cautions against seeing animals act like humans or attributing intentions beyond observed actions. Zhang suggests the behaviour is likely natural, as tested mice were just 2 to 3 months old and had not previously experienced such scenarios. He suggests that this natural caregiving may enhance group unity and could be more widespread among social animals than previously recognised. 8. What is the main focus of the first paragraph? A. The training of mice to help companions in danger. B. The behaviours of mice helping unconscious partners. C. The percentage of mice avoiding interaction in cages. D. The activity level of mice toward their familiar mates. 9. When would helping mice stop giving care behaviours according to paragraph 2? A. When the research observation time ended. B. When unconscious mice showed no response. C. When unconscious mice began moving again. D. When the plastic ball was successfully removed. 10. What does the underlined word “analogous” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Similar. B. Opposite. C. Unrelated. D. Beneficial. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Mice and Medicine: Advanced Rescue Skills B. The Role of Training in Animal Rescue Behaviours C. Differences Between Wild Mice and Laboratory Mice D. First Aid by Mice: A Study of Natural Social Behaviour D “I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing,” Joanna once said — and while the Poetry Camera goes against that very statement, it’s a perfect representation of how technology can help foster art between humans and AI. The Poetry Camera isn’t your average handheld instant shooter. Sure, it has a lens, and a shutter button, and it prints out stuff-but unlike Polaroid that prints pictures out on film, the Poetry Camera captures a scene, identifies its elements, and then uses AI to make a beautiful poem based on what the camera clicked. Essentially, the Poetry Camera runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 chip, with a Camera Module 3 connected to an Adafruit Mini Thermal Printer. Connection to OpenAI’s API allows the camera to feed AI images, and have it generate poetry as a result. The setup is fairly simple and it all fits inside this adorable 3D-printed case with just two controls—a shutter button for clicking the photo, and a knob (旋钮) that lets you adjust the number of verses you want. In a way, think of it as an exposure knob that gives the AI more space to see smaller details and the AI can create longer poems with more depth. The Poetry Camera is a pet project for now, as Kelin and Ryan aren’t preparing for mass production. Limited drops of the camera will be available to people who sign up for the newsletter on the website, although the price is unknown at the moment. This is far from the first time we’ve seen AI make its way into camera projects. Back in 2018, Dan Macnish created a camera that draws what it sees, while in 2023, we got the Paragraphica-a lens-less camera that used location and time data to generate AI images. The Poetry Camera is, in ways, similar to the Paragraphica in the sense that it uses an AI to generate something new. While Paragraphica did make images, like cameras are supposed to, the Poetry Camera turns scenes into poems, and if this is what the AI uprising will look like, count me in! 12. How is the Poetry Camera different from a Polaroid camera? A. It uses film to print photos. B. It focuses on capturing scenery. C. It helps humans with housework. D. It generates poems instead of photos. 13. What does the knob on the Poetry Camera control? A. The length of the printed poem. B. The speed of capturing images. C. The size of the printed photo. D. The connection to OpenAI 14. In what way will the Poetry Camera be offered to buyers? A. It will be sold globally at a low price. B. It will have limited availability at first. C. Mass sales plans are already in progress. D. There will be no restrictions on its purchase. 15. Why does the author mention the Paragraphica in the last paragraph? A. To state the overuse of AI for replacing human creativity. B. To suggest that Paragraphica stands above Poetry Camera. C. To illustrate a trend of combining AI with artistic creation. D. To emphasize the Poetry Camera’s uniqueness in creating images. 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。 Many high school seniors approach the college application essay with anxiety. They feel their lives are too ordinary to create a story that will impress admissions officers. ____16____ It just needs to be a genuine reflection of their personal growth, drawn from everyday moments. I once worked with a boy who had no idea what to write about. Family? Favorite subject? He kept silent until I suggested, “Hobbies?” He shyly said, “I like boxing.” Then his essay unfolded, not about boxing itself, but about self-discipline and resilience (坚韧), qualities that any college would admire. So look into the things that shape you. ____17____ Some students try to catch attention by writing their essays in unconventional forms, such as a poem or a play. Most still follow the traditional storytelling model: a hook (引子), a story, and a lesson learned. ____18____ For example, the rough edges and the pleasant smell of her father’s handmade furniture inspired one girl to become an engineer. The magic is in the details and emotional depth. As a writing tutor, I was hung up on language rules at first. Should I help my students stick to “standard English,” or let them write the way they naturally speak — even if that includes informal expressions? ____19____ It’s also about expressing ideas naturally and making connections with readers. It doesn’t hurt to tell a humorous childhood incident in a light, conversational tone. ____20____ Essay writing teaches students to express themselves with precision through rethinking ideas, refining language, and rewriting drafts. With multiple edits, they will uncover deeper insights and create a story only they can tell. A. After all, I preferred a formal writing style. B. A great essay eventually takes form in revision. C. I soon realized writing isn’t just about language. D. That’s why they try to make up appealing stories. E. Whatever the form, an essay stands out for its story. F. Once a topic clicks, the essay practically writes itself. G. But a powerful essay doesn’t require a dramatic story. 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） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Helen Cowan was sitting in the garden one evening when she heard a loud crash.

As food delivery is extremely common in China, it creates large amounts of waste due to the plastic containers. bags, and chopsticks that come with each order. This in turn has contributed to great environmental concerns for the waste packaging materials. We have therefore measured the amount of food delivery packaging waste in China. The results show that the total amount of packaging waste rose from 0.2 million metric tons in 2015 to 1.5 million metric tons in 2020.Over-packaging is also a concern. The food delivery packaging is not the fancier, the better. Instead, it is the more environment-friendly, the better. Therefore, it is high time that regulations were adopted to stop restaurants and companies from spending too much on unnecessary packaging and wrapping. Also, smart policy suggestions should be provided to handle the pressing issues, particularly using the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle environment-friendly practices. As the largest city in China, Shanghai has an important role in creating and seeking an efficient solution to the problem of waste. With over 24 million people living in Shanghai, materials sustainability (可持续性), particularly that of plastics, is a big problem. For example, delivery companies like Saucepan have begun to reduce the plastic usage of the food delivery in Shanghai by using biodegradable（可降解的) packaging in the delivery process. Besides, it encourages customers to recycle their plastic bags and reward them for every 10 used bags that they return to the company. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
