Daryl, a specially trained rescue dog, owes his reputation to an unusual gift: the ability to pick up faint, days-old scents (气味) hidden within thick wild bushes. In late July, the six-year-old dog faced a test that would push this gift to its limit: locating 13-year-old Cody Trenkle Jr., who had disappeared for over three days.
Cody had headed out on his skateboard to a friend’s home. Security cameras captured him passing by, with no further clues afterward. Investigators guessed he had lost control of his board and fell down a deep, tree-covered valley. Suffering head injury and partial consciousness, Cody dragged himself into shaded bushes to escape the burning heat, hundreds of yards off any road. Hours slipped by before his family realized he was missing.
Relatives, firefighters and local residents launched a wide-ranging ground search yet failed to comb the valley’s deep, isolated areas. Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports spread that the boy had been seen in distant towns. Though his mother, Stephanie refused to believe them, she could not shake off the worst fear: the longer it went on, the more she had to prepare for the possibility of finding her son’s body. When Cody’s skateboard was eventually spotted at the valley edge, officials called in Gillam and his team.
Gillam received the call with mixed feelings. “Look, given the three-day-old scent track, I could make no promises,” he told the officer. But the skateboard gave them a solid starting point, and his team would spare no effort to bring Cody home. He selected Daryl for the tough mission, for the dog performed best under hot conditions and on aged scent tracks.
Following Daryl’s lead, rescuers made their way deep into damp woods and found Cody. Severely dehydrated (脱水) and badly hurt, he barely possessed strength to speak. Doctors commented that only a few more hours alone in the wilderness would have cost him his life. After weeks of recovery from brain injury, Cody visited the rescue center to express his gratitude to the four-legged hero who had given him a second chance at life.
4. Why was Daryl chosen to search for Cody?
A. He was very familiar with the area.
B. He was chosen to test his unusual gift.
C. He was skilled at tracking days-old scents.
D. He had the best reputation in the rescue unit.
5. What does the underlined word “them” refer to in paragraph 3?
A. The unconfirmed reports. B. The distant towns.
C. The local residents. D. The searching officials.
6. What can we infer from Gillam’s words on the phone?
A. He was a man who made no promises.
B. The smells might be too weak to track.
C. He needed more time to assess the situation.
D. The landscape might make tracking difficult.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Dangerous Skateboarding Accident.
B. A Sharp-nosed Hero Saves a Teenager.
C. A Mother Persists in Waiting For Her Son.
D. A Tough Rescue Mission in a Remote Valley.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了搜救犬Daryl凭借追踪陈旧气味的特殊能力,成功搜救失踪三日的受伤少年Cody的暖心故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“the ability to pick up faint, days-old scents hidden within thick wild bushes(能够捕捉藏匿在茂密野生灌木丛中、微弱且留存数日的气味)”以及第四段“He selected Daryl for the tough mission, for the dog performed best under hot conditions and on aged scent tracks(他挑选达里尔执行这项艰巨的任务,因为这只搜救犬在高温环境下、追踪陈旧气味痕迹的表现最为出色)”可知,Daryl擅长追踪留存数日的陈旧气味,因此被选中执行搜救任务。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports spread that the boy had been seen in distant towns. Though his mother, Stephanie, refused to believe them(与此同时,有未经证实的传言称有人在偏远小镇看到了这个男孩。但他的母亲斯蒂芬妮并不相信它们)”可知,此处的代词them指代前文出现的未经证实的传言。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Look, given the three-day-old scent track, I could make no promises(你要知道,气味痕迹已经留存三天了,我无法保证一定能搜救成功)”可知,气味已经留存三天,变得十分微弱,很难追踪,因此Gillam无法保证搜救成功。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章核心围绕嗅觉灵敏的搜救犬Daryl展开,讲述了它克服困难、成功营救少年的事迹,“嗅觉灵敏的英雄拯救少年”最贴合全文主旨,适合用作标题。
C
Human well-being depends on the ability to navigate the social world. Such social skill depends on reliable feedback: acts of kindness may be met with gratitude; on other occasions, a misstep brings about a friend’s disapproval and recognition that an apology is needed. These moments are crucial for deepening trust and personal growth. Social life is rarely frictionless, because people are not perfectly in tune with one another. Yet it is precisely through such social friction that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops.
Sycophancy (谄媚) is the opposite of this friction. Many users experience this when AI enthusiastically agrees with their ideas or writing. In academic contexts, the consequence may be investing more time in an average idea. But as AI systems are increasingly consulted for guidance about relationships and conflicts, affirmation (肯定) of this kind may shape how people interpret their own actions and their perspectives of others, and in turn, how they respond to conflict and whether they take responsibility when things go wrong.
Now imagine a world where people routinely consult a sycophantic AI about interpersonal conflicts or moral dilemmas. They are repeatedly assured that they are right, that others are wrong, and that no apology is needed. Over time, this patterned sycophancy may reshape expectations about what feedback should feel like. Individuals may begin to anticipate the same constant affirmation from real human beings. The cumulative effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social friction through which accountability, perspective-taking, and growth occur.
An AI companion that is always “on your side” may keep users engaged and dependent. But it cannot teach them how to handle real relationships — how to disagree respectfully, repair damaged trust, or accept being wrong. Although AI could be improved to promote long-term personal development, such goals conflict with systems built to maximize user engagement. Challenging users or presenting uncomfortable truths is a sure way to drive them away. This tension raises fundamental ethical questions: Should we prioritize immediate emotional comfort or long-term social health? Who gets to decide? Addressing these challenges will require interdisciplinary collaboration among computer scientists, social scientists, ethicists, and policy makers.
8. What role does social friction play in relationships according to the author?
A. It generates positive feedback.
B. It guarantees harmonious relationships.
C. It causes open disapproval or conflicts.
D. It enhances social bonds and moral growth.
9. Which of the following is NOT a consequence of sycophantic AI?
A. Misguided judgment about one’s actions.
B. Reduced tolerance for interpersonal friction.
C. Weakened willingness to take responsibility.
D. Increased ability to resolve real-life conflicts.
10. What prevents AI systems from being improved to challenge users?
A. Lack of technical capacity. B. Conflicts with commercial interests.
C. Unawareness of its potential harm. D. Absence of interdisciplinary collaboration.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward current AI systems?
A. Strictly neutral. B. Strongly opposed.
C. Cautiously concerned. D. Mildly supportive.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讨论了谄媚式人工智能对人类社交能力和社会关系的潜在负面影响,指出这种AI虽然能提供情感安慰,但会削弱人们处理人际摩擦、承担责任和促进道德成长的能力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet it is precisely through such social friction that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops. (然而,正是通过这种社会摩擦,关系才能加深,对道德的理解才能发展。)”可知,作者认为社会摩擦能够加深人际关系并促进对道德的理解更深刻。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But as AI systems are increasingly consulted for guidance about relationships and conflicts, affirmation (肯定) of this kind may shape how people interpret their own actions and their perspectives of others, and in turn, how they respond to conflict and whether they take responsibility when things go wrong. (但随着人工智能系统被越来越多地用于人际关系和冲突方面的咨询,这种肯定可能会影响人们如何解读自己的行为和他人的观点,进而影响他们如何应对冲突以及在事情出错时是否承担责任。)”可知,谄媚式AI会导致人们对自己的行为判断失误(选项A)和承担责任意愿减弱(选项C);根据第三段最后一句“The cumulative effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social friction through which accountability, perspective-taking, and growth occur. (累积效应是对社会摩擦的容忍度降低,而正是通过这种社会摩擦,责任感、换位思考和个人成长才得以发生。)”可知,对人际摩擦容忍度降低(选项B)也是后果之一。“解决现实生活冲突能力的提升”文章没有提及。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Although AI could be improved to promote long-term personal development, such goals conflict with systems built to maximize user engagement. Challenging users or presenting uncomfortable truths is a sure way to drive them away. (虽然AI可以改进以促进长期个人发展,但这样的目标与为最大化用户参与度而构建的系统相冲突。挑战用户或呈现令人不舒服的真相肯定会把他们赶走。)”可知,AI系统无法被改造成挑战用户的模式,是因为这与其追求最大化用户参与度的商业利益相冲突。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。作者在第一段引出话题,指出社交摩擦虽然不可避免,但正是通过这种摩擦,人际关系才能加深、对道德的理解才能发展。第二段指出谄媚式AI会导致人们判断失误、逃避责任,在第三段指出其降低人们对社交摩擦的容忍度,在第四段指出其与商业利益的冲突及伦理困境,并呼吁跨学科合作来解决这些问题,表达了一种“谨慎担忧”的态度。
D
For thousands of years, human beings have relied on seeds and farmland to grow food. Ploughing (犁地), also known as tilling, is the process of turning over soil to bury weeds, loosen the earth and bring fresh nutrients to the surface. But ploughing, particularly over long periods, can erode (侵蚀) the soil and make it less healthy. This is where conservation-focused farming methods, including no-till farming, come in.
Conventional farming involves sowing a crop into ploughed soil. Ploughing kills weeds that compete with crops for resources, such as water. It also buries weeds and dead plant material deep into the ground, where they are then broken down by bacteria and fungi.
But herbicides, which are chemicals sprayed to kill weeds, became much cheaper to buy from the mid-20th century. This allowed farmers to kill weeds without cultivating the soil. And it paved the way for the no-till farming movement.
Put simply, no-till farming is farming without disturbing the soil. It gained popularity in the 1950s and 1960s as more people learnt of its potential benefits. These include: limiting soil erosion, keeping soil moisture (水分), protecting the large holes in the soil, and reducing our reliance on machinery such as disc ploughs and rotary hoes, and the fossil fuels needed to operate them.
Supporters of no-till farming claim it boosts the amount of beneficial organisms and nutrients in the soil. They also say no-till farming improves water quality, reduces the risk of pests and diseases, and increases farmers’ income.
However, there is a darker side to no-till farming. No-till farmers must use much more chemicals to destroy weeds that would otherwise be killed by tilling. Research has linked these chemicals with higher rates of cancer, birth defects, infertility and other medical conditions. In addition, research shows soils that haven’t been ploughed contain about 5% less stored carbon than conventionally-farmed soils. Even if no-till farming is better for the environment, it may not produce the yields farmers need to earn an income. One international meta-analysis found farmers’ crop yields fell by about 5%, one to two years after switching from conventional to no-till practices.
12. What can we learn about ploughing?
A. It hardens the soil. B. It improves soil moisture.
C. It is conservation-focused. D. It is double-edged.
13. What can we infer about the rise of no-till farming?
A. Its main aim was to increase crop outputs.
B. It requires more farm machinery than ploughing.
C. Lower-priced herbicides helped make it possible.
D. It grew popular thanks to environmental awareness.
14. What is the author’s attitude to no-till farming?
A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Favourable. D. Uncaring.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. No-Till Farming: A Better Choice?
B. Healthy Soil: The Key to More Produce
C. Modern Farming: Less Work, More Profit?
D. Weed Control: A New Challenge for Farmers
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了传统犁地耕作方式的利弊、免耕农业的兴起及其优缺点,引发读者对免耕农业是否是更好选择的思考。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Ploughing (犁地), also known as tilling, is the process of turning over soil to bury weeds, loosen the earth and bring fresh nutrients to the surface. But ploughing, particularly over long periods, can erode (侵蚀) the soil and make it less healthy. (犁地,也称为翻耕,是将土壤翻转以掩埋杂草、松土并将新鲜养分带到地表的过程。但长期犁地会侵蚀土壤,使其变得不那么健康)”可知,犁地既有好处也有坏处,是一把双刃剑。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But herbicides, which are chemicals sprayed to kill weeds, became much cheaper to buy from the mid-20th century. This allowed farmers to kill weeds without cultivating the soil. And it paved the way for the no-till farming movement. (但从20世纪中叶开始,用于杀死杂草的除草剂变得便宜得多。这使得农民可以在不耕作土壤的情况下杀死杂草。这也为免耕农业运动铺平了道路)”可知,价格更低的除草剂使免耕农业成为可能。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Supporters of no-till farming claim it boosts the amount of beneficial organisms and nutrients in the soil. They also say no-till farming improves water quality, reduces the risk of pests and diseases, and increases farmers’ income. (免耕农业的支持者声称它能增加土壤中有益生物和营养物质的数量。他们还说免耕农业能改善水质,降低病虫害风险,并增加农民收入。)”以及第六段“However, there is a darker side to no-till farming. (然而,免耕农业也有其黑暗的一面)”可知,作者既提到了免耕农业的优点,也提到了其缺点,态度是客观的。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知,文章首先介绍了传统犁地耕作的利弊,然后引出免耕农业的兴起,接着分别阐述了免耕农业的优点和缺点,最后提出了免耕农业是否是更好选择的思考。所以“No-Till Farming: A Better Choice? (免耕农业:一个更好的选择吗?)”作为标题最合适。

根据下面短文,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。
We all know that our dogs have feelings, and that they can be happy or sad. But, do dogs actually cry real tears when they get sad? Dogs are highly sensitive pets, and they experience a variety of emotions, just like humans. ____16____ They might just have watery eyes. As far as scientists know, humans are the only species that cry for emotional reasons.
Dogs do “cry” when they’re sad. However, dogs use voices to express feelings rather than having watery eyes. They begin doing this at a young age by crying out for their moms when in trouble. ____17____ As they get older, dogs may continue this whining (哀鸣) when sad.
Once they have matured, dogs consider their human owners to be the pack leader, or mother figure, and will direct their whining or crying towards them. Many specialists believe dogs suffering from separation anxiety will whine for their mothers. ____18____
____19____ They can also be sad, in pain or attempting to let you know that they’re feeling uncomfortable or want something. Also, dogs may howl (嗥叫) occasionally, which is just another form of “crying”. In fact, many experts believe that howling is a dog’s ultimate expression of sadness.
If dogs don’t produce emotional tears, why do they tear up at all? Studies show there is oftentimes a medical reason behind dogs having tears. ____20____ A dog’s tear ducts (泪管) work somewhat differently. For dogs, the tears or liquid will flow back into the throat and nose rather than from the eyes.
A. This is because dogs are social animals.
B. However, no science proves dogs cry for sadness.
C. Separation anxiety isn’t the only cause of dogs whining.
D. Similarly, when sad, they go to their parent-like person.
E. Virtually, that may be a sign of a serious health condition.
F. The reasons for dogs crying or howling are exactly the same.
G. They learn to make distinct sounds that can be recognized instantly.
【答案】16. B 17. G 18. D 19. C 20. E

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。在过去的十年里,生活在北京的希腊摄影师乔治·杜帕斯一直在拍摄这座城市,捕捉它的美丽,并在网上和展览中分享这些照片。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意:在过去的十年里,他一直在拍摄这座城市,捕捉它的美丽,并在网上和展览中分享这些照片。根据句意和空格后的sharing分析句子可知,sharing和上文的photographing以及capturing是并列关系,所以空格处应该填入并列连词and。故填and。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:“这真正代表了北京——旧与新,完美地融合在一起,”杜帕斯在展示他拍摄的智化寺的照片时说,智化寺是一座精致的明代建筑。根据句意和所给形容词true分析句子可知,空格处应该填入形容词true的副词形式truly作状语,修饰后面的动词represent。故填truly。
【38题详解】
考查时态、固定搭配和主谓一致。句意:它位于现代办公大楼银河SOHO的前面,以编织的桥梁和环环相扣的通道为特色。根据句意和所给动词locate分析句子可知,此处是考查动词locate的用法be located in+地点(坐落于……);根据句意和后面从句的时态是一般现在时可知,主句也应该用一般现在时;再由主语it可知,谓语动词应该用单数形式。故填is located。
【39题详解】

考查现在分词。句意:同时,他也惊叹于这座融合了高端商业和各行业的现代化城市。根据句意和所给动词combine分析句子可知,空格处应该填入combine的非谓语形式作定语,修饰前面的名词city,因为名词city和动词combine之间是主动关系,所以应该用现在分词combining作定语。故填combining。
【42题详解】
考查连接副词。句意:他说:“看到一座快速发展的城市投入如此大的精力来保护它的过去,这是令人着迷的,这就是我决定在这里追求事业的原因。”根据句意分析句子可知,空格后的部分是一个表语从句,空格处应该填入一个连接词引导表语从句,且意义为“为什么”,所以应该用连接副词why。故填why。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:杜帕斯决心在中国继续他的职业生涯,希望成为中国和西方之间的桥梁。根据句意和空格后的单数可数名词bridge分析句子可知,空格处应该填入一个不定冠词,表泛指,因为bridge的发音是辅音音素开头,所以应该用不定冠词a。故填a。

As the school year wrapped up and the first days of summer vacation stretched out before them, Max, Ava, and Sam had a perfect day planned at their usual community park. This tidy little park was their go - to spot for unwinding and just enjoying some precious leisure time.
Max rushed ahead with a soccer ball under his arm, Ava and Sam trailing closely behind, full of energy. It was the kind of day that promised endless fun and carefree laughter. But as they stepped into the park, their heart sank. The once - beloved playground was now a chaotic mess of discarded trash (乱扔的垃圾) — candy wrappers stuck in the slide’s metal bars, plastic bottles rolling in the wind, and chip bags lying underfoot.
“Look at this!” Ava shouted in disbelief as she pointed to the garbage near the swings.
Max’s face darkened with frustration. The three friends stood frozen, their eyes scanning the playground area. The once clean slides and swings were now buried under a layer of candy wrappers and plastic bottles. Ava cast a glance (瞥一眼) at the walking trails, where garbage seemed to have taken over, with discarded bags and cans lying everywhere. Sam looked out at the grassy fields — a disaster. The park was vast, but every corner seemed to have been touched by the carelessness of others.
“Who would be so thoughtless?” Max whispered, shaking his head.
Sam kicked a plastic bottle in anger, sending it flying across the grass. “It’s not just thoughtless — it’s disrespectful.”
Ava sighed thoughtfully but suddenly her face lit up. “We can’t just leave it like this. Why don’t we do something about it? We can, say, form a Cleanup Squad (清洁小分队)…” she said, her voice soft but determined.

【答案】
Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance. “That’s a great idea, Ava!” Max exclaimed. Sam nodded in agreement, his eyes shining with determination. Without hesitation, they quickly divided the tasks. Max ran to fetch some trash bags from his nearby home. Ava and Sam started collecting the larger pieces of garbage first, like the chip bags and plastic bottles. As they worked, Ava hummed a little tune, and the others joined in. Their laughter and songs filled the park, making the cleanup seem more like a fun game.
Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup. An elderly couple, who were taking a stroll, saw what they were doing and decided to lend a hand. A group of kids playing nearby also came over, eager to help make the park clean again. With more people joining, the cleanup went much faster. Before long, the playground was clean once more. The slides and swings sparkled in the sun, and the grassy fields were free of trash. Max, Ava, and Sam looked at each other, beaming with pride. They realized that with everyone’s effort, they could make a difference and keep their beloved park beautiful.

Daryl, a specially trained rescue dog, owes his reputation to an unusual gift: the ability to pick up faint, days-old scents (气味) hidden within thick wild bushes. In late July, the six-year-old dog faced a test that would push this gift to its limit: locating 13-year-old Cody Trenkle Jr., who had disappeared for over three days.
Cody had headed out on his skateboard to a friend’s home. Security cameras captured him passing by, with no further clues afterward. Investigators guessed he had lost control of his board and fell down a deep, tree-covered valley. Suffering head injury and partial consciousness, Cody dragged himself into shaded bushes to escape the burning heat, hundreds of yards off any road. Hours slipped by before his family realized he was missing.
Relatives, firefighters and local residents launched a wide-ranging ground search yet failed to comb the valley’s deep, isolated areas. Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports spread that the boy had been seen in distant towns. Though his mother, Stephanie refused to believe them, she could not shake off the worst fear: the longer it went on, the more she had to prepare for the possibility of finding her son’s body. When Cody’s skateboard was eventually spotted at the valley edge, officials called in Gillam and his team.
Gillam received the call with mixed feelings. “Look, given the three-day-old scent track, I could make no promises,” he told the officer. But the skateboard gave them a solid starting point, and his team would spare no effort to bring Cody home. He selected Daryl for the tough mission, for the dog performed best under hot conditions and on aged scent tracks.
Following Daryl’s lead, rescuers made their way deep into damp woods and found Cody. Severely dehydrated (脱水) and badly hurt, he barely possessed strength to speak. Doctors commented that only a few more hours alone in the wilderness would have cost him his life. After weeks of recovery from brain injury, Cody visited the rescue center to express his gratitude to the four-legged hero who had given him a second chance at life.
4. Why was Daryl chosen to search for Cody?
A. He was very familiar with the area.
B. He was chosen to test his unusual gift.
C. He was skilled at tracking days-old scents.
D. He had the best reputation in the rescue unit.
5. What does the underlined word “them” refer to in paragraph 3?
A. The unconfirmed reports. B. The distant towns.
C. The local residents. D. The searching officials.
6. What can we infer from Gillam’s words on the phone?
A. He was a man who made no promises.
B. The smells might be too weak to track.
C. He needed more time to assess the situation.
D. The landscape might make tracking difficult.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Dangerous Skateboarding Accident.
B. A Sharp-nosed Hero Saves a Teenager.
C. A Mother Persists in Waiting For Her Son.
D. A Tough Rescue Mission in a Remote Valley.
C
Human well-being depends on the ability to navigate the social world. Such social skill depends on reliable feedback: acts of kindness may be met with gratitude; on other occasions, a misstep brings about a friend’s disapproval and recognition that an apology is needed. These moments are crucial for deepening trust and personal growth. Social life is rarely frictionless, because people are not perfectly in tune with one another. Yet it is precisely through such social friction that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops.
Sycophancy (谄媚) is the opposite of this friction. Many users experience this when AI enthusiastically agrees with their ideas or writing. In academic contexts, the consequence may be investing more time in an average idea. But as AI systems are increasingly consulted for guidance about relationships and conflicts, affirmation (肯定) of this kind may shape how people interpret their own actions and their perspectives of others, and in turn, how they respond to conflict and whether they take responsibility when things go wrong.
Now imagine a world where people routinely consult a sycophantic AI about interpersonal conflicts or moral dilemmas. They are repeatedly assured that they are right, that others are wrong, and that no apology is needed. Over time, this patterned sycophancy may reshape expectations about what feedback should feel like. Individuals may begin to anticipate the same constant affirmation from real human beings. The cumulative effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social friction through which accountability, perspective-taking, and growth occur.
An AI companion that is always “on your side” may keep users engaged and dependent. But it cannot teach them how to handle real relationships — how to disagree respectfully, repair damaged trust, or accept being wrong. Although AI could be improved to promote long-term personal development, such goals conflict with systems built to maximize user engagement. Challenging users or presenting uncomfortable truths is a sure way to drive them away. This tension raises fundamental ethical questions: Should we prioritize immediate emotional comfort or long-term social health? Who gets to decide? Addressing these challenges will require interdisciplinary collaboration among computer scientists, social scientists, ethicists, and policy makers.
8. What role does social friction play in relationships according to the author?
A. It generates positive feedback.
B. It guarantees harmonious relationships.
C. It causes open disapproval or conflicts.
D. It enhances social bonds and moral growth.
9. Which of the following is NOT a consequence of sycophantic AI?
A. Misguided judgment about one’s actions.
B. Reduced tolerance for interpersonal friction.
C. Weakened willingness to take responsibility.
D. Increased ability to resolve real-life conflicts.
10. What prevents AI systems from being improved to challenge users?
A. Lack of technical capacity. B. Conflicts with commercial interests.
C. Unawareness of its potential harm. D. Absence of interdisciplinary collaboration.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward current AI systems?
A. Strictly neutral. B. Strongly opposed.
C. Cautiously concerned. D. Mildly supportive.
D
For thousands of years, human beings have relied on seeds and farmland to grow food. Ploughing (犁地), also known as tilling, is the process of turning over soil to bury weeds, loosen the earth and bring fresh nutrients to the surface. But ploughing, particularly over long periods, can erode (侵蚀) the soil and make it less healthy. This is where conservation-focused farming methods, including no-till farming, come in.
Conventional farming involves sowing a crop into ploughed soil. Ploughing kills weeds that compete with crops for resources, such as water. It also buries weeds and dead plant material deep into the ground, where they are then broken down by bacteria and fungi.
But herbicides, which are chemicals sprayed to kill weeds, became much cheaper to buy from the mid-20th century. This allowed farmers to kill weeds without cultivating the soil. And it paved the way for the no-till farming movement.
Put simply, no-till farming is farming without disturbing the soil. It gained popularity in the 1950s and 1960s as more people learnt of its potential benefits. These include: limiting soil erosion, keeping soil moisture (水分), protecting the large holes in the soil, and reducing our reliance on machinery such as disc ploughs and rotary hoes, and the fossil fuels needed to operate them.
Supporters of no-till farming claim it boosts the amount of beneficial organisms and nutrients in the soil. They also say no-till farming improves water quality, reduces the risk of pests and diseases, and increases farmers’ income.
However, there is a darker side to no-till farming. No-till farmers must use much more chemicals to destroy weeds that would otherwise be killed by tilling. Research has linked these chemicals with higher rates of cancer, birth defects, infertility and other medical conditions. In addition, research shows soils that haven’t been ploughed contain about 5% less stored carbon than conventionally-farmed soils. Even if no-till farming is better for the environment, it may not produce the yields farmers need to earn an income. One international meta-analysis found farmers’ crop yields fell by about 5%, one to two years after switching from conventional to no-till practices.
12. What can we learn about ploughing?
A. It hardens the soil. B. It improves soil moisture.
C. It is conservation-focused. D. It is double-edged.
13. What can we infer about the rise of no-till farming?
A. Its main aim was to increase crop outputs.
B. It requires more farm machinery than ploughing.
C. Lower-priced herbicides helped make it possible.
D. It grew popular thanks to environmental awareness.
14. What is the author’s attitude to no-till farming?
A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Favourable. D. Uncaring.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. No-Till Farming: A Better Choice?
B. Healthy Soil: The Key to More Produce
C. Modern Farming: Less Work, More Profit?
D. Weed Control: A New Challenge for Farmers
第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据下面短文,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。
We all know that our dogs have feelings, and that they can be happy or sad. But, do dogs actually cry real tears when they get sad? Dogs are highly sensitive pets, and they experience a variety of emotions, just like humans. ____16____ They might just have watery eyes. As far as scientists know, humans are the only species that cry for emotional reasons.
Dogs do “cry” when they’re sad. However, dogs use voices to express feelings rather than having watery eyes. They begin doing this at a young age by crying out for their moms when in trouble. ____17____ As they get older, dogs may continue this whining (哀鸣) when sad.
Once they have matured, dogs consider their human owners to be the pack leader, or mother figure, and will direct their whining or crying towards them. Many specialists believe dogs suffering from separation anxiety will whine for their mothers. ____18____
____19____ They can also be sad, in pain or attempting to let you know that they’re feeling uncomfortable or want something. Also, dogs may howl (嗥叫) occasionally, which is just another form of “crying”. In fact, many experts believe that howling is a dog’s ultimate expression of sadness.
If dogs don’t produce emotional tears, why do they tear up at all? Studies show there is oftentimes a medical reason behind dogs having tears. ____20____ A dog’s tear ducts (泪管) work somewhat differently. For dogs, the tears or liquid will flow back into the throat and nose rather than from the eyes.
A. This is because dogs are social animals.
B. However, no science proves dogs cry for sadness.
C. Separation anxiety isn’t the only cause of dogs whining.
D. Similarly, when sad, they go to their parent-like person.
E. Virtually, that may be a sign of a serious health condition.
F. The reasons for dogs crying or howling are exactly the same.
G. They learn to make distinct sounds that can be recognized instantly.

As the school year wrapped up and the first days of summer vacation stretched out before them, Max, Ava, and Sam had a perfect day planned at their usual community park. This tidy little park was their go - to spot for unwinding and just enjoying some precious leisure time.
Max rushed ahead with a soccer ball under his arm, Ava and Sam trailing closely behind, full of energy. It was the kind of day that promised endless fun and carefree laughter. But as they stepped into the park, their heart sank. The once - beloved playground was now a chaotic mess of discarded trash (乱扔的垃圾) — candy wrappers stuck in the slide’s metal bars, plastic bottles rolling in the wind, and chip bags lying underfoot.
“Look at this!” Ava shouted in disbelief as she pointed to the garbage near the swings.
Max’s face darkened with frustration. The three friends stood frozen, their eyes scanning the playground area. The once clean slides and swings were now buried under a layer of candy wrappers and plastic bottles. Ava cast a glance (瞥一眼) at the walking trails, where garbage seemed to have taken over, with discarded bags and cans lying everywhere. Sam looked out at the grassy fields — a disaster. The park was vast, but every corner seemed to have been touched by the carelessness of others.
“Who would be so thoughtless?” Max whispered, shaking his head.
Sam kicked a plastic bottle in anger, sending it flying across the grass. “It’s not just thoughtless — it’s disrespectful.”
Ava sighed thoughtfully but suddenly her face lit up. “We can’t just leave it like this. Why don’t we do something about it? We can, say, form a Cleanup Squad (清洁小分队)…” she said, her voice soft but determined.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance.

Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup.
