Texting messages or calling may be a(n) ________ to avoid contact with others face to face. A. opportunity B. source C. influence D. alternative 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：发短信或打电话可能是避免与他人面对面接触的一种替代方式。A. opportunity机会；B. source来源；C. influence影响；D. alternative可供替代的选择。由Texting messages or calling可知，空格处表达“可供替代的选择”。 18.

A. change B. fulfill C. desert D. clarify 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：在我们共同开启这第一年之际，我想发布几项通知并且阐明我的部分承诺。A. change改变；更改；B. fulfill履行，实现；C. desert抛弃，遗弃；D. clarify阐明，讲清楚。and连接两个并列的谓语动作，发布通知、阐明承诺都是说话者当下要开展的事项，结合语境可知clarify符合句意。 19.

A. true B. contradictory C. false D. consistent 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：鉴于一些报道，外面有很多矛盾的声明。对我们来说，很难分辨哪一个是真正的谣言。A. true真实的；B. contradictory矛盾的；C. false虚假的；D. consistent一致的。题干中包含句型It is difficult for sb. to do sth.，意为“对某人来说做某事是困难的”。根据后半句“很难分辨哪一个是真正的谣言”可知，这些声明各执一词，是相互矛盾的，才导致人们难以分辨真假。 20. The data processing capability of the new 5G chip is far more advanced than ________ of the previous generation. A. it B. those C. that D. one 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：新款5G芯片的数据处理能力远比上一代的先进。句中空格处需要填入一个代词来指代前面的不可数名词capability（能力），以避免重复，并且该代词后有定语of the previous generation修饰。在英语语法中，that常用来替代前面提到过的特指的单数可数名词或不可数名词，且后面通常带有后置定语。 21. In a room above the store, where a party _______, some workers were busily setting the table. A. will be held B. has been held C. was to be held D. is being held 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：在商店上方的一个房间里，工人们正忙着摆放餐具，那里即将举行一场派对。根据主句谓语动词“were busily setting”可知，句子描述的是过去发生的事情，且工人们当时正在摆放餐具，说明派对还未开始，即在过去的将来要举行，故从句应使用过去将来时；同时，从句主语“a party”与动词“hold”之间为被动关系，需用被动语态。“was/were to be done”可表示过去将来时的被动语态。 22. I French for 3 years after I graduated from university, which helped me secure a good job in Paris. A. have studied B. have been studying C. had studied D. studied 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：我大学毕业后学了三年法语，这帮我在巴黎找到了一份好工作。根据“after I graduated from university”可知，“学习法语”是大学毕业后过去某段时间内完成的动作，不持续到现在，应用一般过去时。故填D。 23. All efforts ________ to accelerate high-quality development, we will surely achieve the goals of this year. A. are made B. having been made C. making D. having made 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查独立主格结构。句意：在加快高质量发展的所有努力都作出之后，我们一定会实现今年的目标。逗号后面“we will surely achieve the goals of this year”是完整句子，逗号前是独立主格结构作状语，逻辑主语是All efforts，与动词make之间为被动关系，且“付出努力”动作发生在句子谓语“实现目标”之前，make使用现在分词完成被动式having been made。故选B项。 24. Our special thanks go to thousands of volunteers ______ their past decades to preserving endangered species from extinction. A. devoted B. having been devoted C. devoting D. to devote 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我们特别感谢成千上万的志愿者们，他们在过去的几十年里致力于保护濒危物种免遭灭绝。句中已有谓语动词go，空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰名词volunteers，volunteers和devote为逻辑主谓关系，需用现在分词形式。故选C。 25. We agreed to accept ________ they thought was the best professor in the college. A. whatever B. whomever C. whichever D. whoever 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：我们同意接受他们认为学院里最好的教授。空处引导宾语从句，从句缺少主语（they thought是插入成分），结合“the best professor”可知，主语指人，且为泛指，应用whoever引导从句。故选D。 26. The greatest gift my grandfather gave was not the craft itself, but a new lens, ________ we can see that technology and tradition are not opposing forces, but can inform and balance each other. A. with which B. through which C. to which D. for which 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我祖父给我的最伟大的礼物不是手艺本身，而是一个新的视角，透过它我们可以看到技术和传统并不是对立的力量，而是可以相互启发和平衡的。此处考查“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句。see through a new lens为固定搭配，意为“透过新的镜头看/通过新的视角看”，因此将介词through放到关系词的前面，先行词a new lens指物，所以用关系代词which引导该从句，作介词的宾语。 27. The proposal, debated at this year’s CITES Conference, lists Mako sharks under Appendix II, meaning that they can’t be traded ______ it can be shown that fishing wouldn’t threaten their chances for survival.

Keep your chin up振作起来；B. Fight fire with fire以毒攻毒；C. Cut the story short长话短说；D. It serves you right你活该。根据“Don’t lose heart.”和“You’ll surely make it sooner or later.”可知，此处是在鼓励对方不要气馁，振作起来。 29. — I’ve studied your programme, May. Could I make some suggestions? — Go right ahead. ______. A. Don’t pull my leg B. It’s up to you C. It’s a piece of cake D. I’m all ears 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我已经研究了你的项目，May。我能提些建议吗？——请说吧。我洗耳恭听。 A. Don’t pull my leg别跟我开玩笑；B. It’s up to you由你决定；C. It’s a piece of cake小菜一碟；D. I’m all ears我洗耳恭听。根据Go right ahead可知，空处应表示洗耳恭听。 30. — I bought this dress at full price. — Oh, you ________ till the sale. It would have been much cheaper. A. could have waited B. could wait C. would wait D. must have waited 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我全价买了这条裙子。——哦，你本可以等到促销的时候的，那时候会便宜很多。A. could have waited本可以等待(虚拟语气，表示过去本能够做却未做的事)；B. could wait能够等待(一般现在时或过去常态)；C. would wait会等待(过去将来时)；D. must have waited肯定已经等待了(对过去情况的肯定推测)。这里描述的是已经发生的事：说话人已经全价买了裙子，因此是对过去本来可以做、但实际没做的事情的虚拟，符合could have done的用法。 三、完形填空（分值：每题1.5分，合计30分） Pioneering ophthalmologist (眼科医师) Professor Fred Hollows had a simple yet profound vision — that everyone, everywhere would have the same access to eye care and sight-restoring surgery. ___31___ pursuing a profitable private practice, Fred made it his life’s work to ___32___ the obstacles to eye care, both for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia and in poor countries worldwide.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍田纳西州今年四项特色节日活动，分别说明各活动举办时间、票价、活动内容，涵盖原创歌曲、自给自足学习、民谣行业交流、多元娱乐演出四类主题。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Homestead Festival部分“You can learn not only how to start learning skills such as growing your own food, building a fire and raising chickens, but also how to grow a life filled with meaning and purpose.(你不仅能学习自给自足的技能，比如自己种植粮食、生火、养鸡，还能学会如何过富有意义与目标的生活。)”可知，种植、生火、养鸡都属于基础生存技能。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据Americanafest部分“Please note: A Conference+Festival Pass allows you access to all events in our schedule.(请注意：会议加节日通票可以参与日程表里全部活动。)”以及“Conference+Festival Pass: $249 (会议加节日通票价格249美元。)”可知，想要完整体验全部活动需要购买249美元的通票。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据Tin Pan South Songwriter’s Festival部分“Over the 5 days, 10 venues host two music shows a night, bringing an experience like no other.(为期五天，十个场地每晚各举办两场音乐演出，带来独一无二的体验。)”、The Homestead Festival部分“Combining music and meaning, the two-day outdoor affair features award-winning live music as well as masterclass lectures.(这场为期两天的户外活动兼顾音乐与内涵，设有获奖音乐人现场演出以及大师讲堂。)”、Americanafest部分“Americanafest brings together legendary artists, fans, and industry professionals for five days of live music shows and Nashville’s most educational music industry forum.(美国民谣节汇聚传奇艺人、乐迷与业内专业人士，开展五天现场音乐演出以及纳什维尔最具学习价值的音乐行业论坛。)”、Hazzard Fest部分“The event features concerts from some of the top names in country, along with comedy shows, a car show and wrestling matches.(这场活动邀请乡村乐坛顶尖歌手举办演唱会，同时还有喜剧表演、车展和摔跤赛事。)”可知，四个节日全部设有音乐演出，这是共同点。 【54题详解】 词句猜测题。根据Tin Pan South Songwriter’s Festival部分“Music fans come from all over the world to experience the songs and stories about their favorite hits straight from the incredibly talented songwriters that penned them.(乐迷从世界各地赶来，聆听penned才子们亲自讲述热门金曲以及其背后的故事。)”可知，句中that指代songwriters“词曲作者”，歌曲由词曲作者创作书写，因此penned此处意为wrote“创作、撰写”。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据Hazzard Fest部分“The event features concerts from some of the top names in country, along with comedy shows, a car show and wrestling matches.(这场活动邀请乡村乐坛顶尖歌手举办演唱会，同时还有喜剧表演、车展和摔跤赛事。)”可知，游客在现场可以享受多种不同形式的娱乐活动。 B THE TIME MACHINE (Adapted) It was at ten o’clock today that the first of all Time Machines began its career. I gave it a last check, and sat myself in the leather seat. I pushed the starting lever on the main panel forwards an inch then immediately backwards again. Looking around, I saw my laboratory exactly as before. Had anything happened? I thought my mind had tricked me. Then I saw the clock. A moment before, it was a minute or so past ten; now it was nearly half past three! I drew a breath, gripped the lever and pushed it forwards. The laboratory went hazy around me. My niece came in to fetch something, maybe her handkerchief, apparently without seeing me. It probably took her a minute, but to me she moved like a rocket! I pushed the lever further. Night came as if a lamp was being turned out, and in another moment came the day. Tomorrow night came, then skipped to day, again and again, faster and faster still. It is hard to explain the strange and unpleasant feeling of time travelling. It felt like I was being driven fast on a winding road. As my pace grew faster, the walls of the laboratory fell away, and I was left in the open air. The sun and moon looked as if they were being thrown across the sky, but soon there was division between night and day. Around me I saw trees growing like puffs of smoke; they grew, spread, and died in moments. I saw huge buildings rise up, then disappear like in a dream. The whole surface of the earth was being changed, melting and flowing before my eyes. I calculated that I was being pushed through time at hundreds of years a minute. I had a strong urge to look at the random things that were being flashed before my eyes! I had thought about the risk of stopping the Time Machine many times. So long as I travelled at maximum speed, it didn’t matter. But if I stopped and the same space was being occupied by something else, we would be forced together and explode like a bomb! Like an impatient fool, I pulled the lever backwards hard. With a sudden jolt, the Time Machine was flipped on its side, and I was thrown through the air. I was stunned for a moment, and then heard the sound of thunder. I was sitting in the rain in some mud next to the machine. “A fine welcome,” I said, “for a man who has travelled thousands of years to be here!” 56. What happened to the Time Traveller’s niece? A. She moved like a rocket in the lab. B. She came to help the Time Traveller. C. She saw the Time Traveller travel in the time machine. D. She was looking for something in the lab for a little while. 57. Why did the Time Traveller feel strange and unpleasant during the time travel? A. The Time Machine had been poorly designed. B. He was travelling through time at such a high speed. C. He suffered from the time lag. D. He was feeling the time travel sick. 58. Why was the Time Traveller worried about stopping the machine? A. Because he would lose control of the machine. B. Because the machine would explode as a bomb. C. Because the machine was so fast that he couldn’t stop it. D. Because the same space might be possessed by other things and they would all explode. 59. What did the Time Traveller meet when he stopped? A. A dinosaur. B. A storm. C. A volcano. D. An explosion of a bomb. 60. What order is the passage written in? A. Time. B. Places. C. The process of events. D. Feelings. 【答案】56. D 57. B 58. D 59. B 60. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者乘坐时间机器穿越时间的过程。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“The laboratory went hazy around me. My niece came in to fetch something, maybe her handkerchief, apparently without seeing me. It probably took her a minute, but to me she moved like a rocket!(实验室里一片模糊，我周围都看不清了。我的侄女进来取东西，可能是手帕，但显然没看见我。这件事大概只花了她一分钟，可对我来说，她移动的速度就像火箭一样！)”可知，时间旅行者的侄女在实验室里找了一会儿东西。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“It is hard to explain the strange and unpleasant feeling of time travelling. It felt like I was being driven fast on a winding road. As my pace grew faster, the walls of the laboratory fell away, and I was left in the open air. The sun and moon looked as if they were being thrown across the sky, but soon there was division between night and day. Around me I saw trees growing like puffs of smoke; they grew, spread, and died in moments. I saw huge buildings rise up, then disappear like in a dream. The whole surface of the earth was being changed, melting and flowing before my eyes. I calculated that I was being pushed through time at hundreds of years a minute.(很难解释这种奇异而令人不快的时空穿梭感。我仿佛被疾速驱赶在一条蜿蜒的道路上。随着我的速度加快，实验室的墙壁逐渐消失，我置身于开阔的天空之中。太阳和月亮似乎被抛向天际，但很快，昼夜便分开了。在我周围，树木如烟雾般生长，瞬间伸展又枯萎；巨大的建筑拔地而起，随后又像梦境一般消散。我看到整个地球表面在眼前不断改变，融化、流动。我计算出，自己正以每分钟数百年的速度被推进时间之中。)”可知，旅行中怪异不适的感受，本质是时间旅行的速度快到每分钟跨越数百年，即，时间穿越旅行太快。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中“But if I stopped and the same space was being occupied by something else, we would be forced together and explode like a bomb!(但如果我停下，而同一空间又被其他东西占据，我们就会被迫在一起，像炸弹一样爆炸！)”可知，时间旅行者担忧的核心是：停下机器后，当前空间可能被其他物体占据，二者挤压后会一同爆炸。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“I was stunned for a moment, and then heard the sound of thunder.(我愣了一下，然后听到了雷声。)”可知，时间旅行者在停下时听到了雷暴声。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。全文按照时间旅行者的行动脉络推进：从启动时光机测试、加速穿越时间、到最终尝试停下机器意外跌落，完整记叙了首次时间旅行的事件发展全过程，属于事件发展顺序的写作逻辑。 C The human mind is astonishing. We can solve complex problems, perform calculations, create art, and process language effortlessly. We humans are the smartest of all, or so we think… However, recent studies reveal how easily context can mislead us. Consider the Müller-Lyer illusion (错觉): equal-length lines look different if one has outward-pointing arrows and the other has inward-pointing arrows. Similarly, three identical-sized runners positioned along a visual path seem to vary in size. Before you conclude that being fooled is reserved only for visual illusions, let me give the example of Belinda: an outspoken philosophy student, deeply concerned with sustainability, biodiversity, and global warming. Is Belinda more likely: a) a top student, or b) a top student and vegetarian? Many people choose the second, because the context of being vegetarian seems to fit the image of someone deeply concerned with sustainability. But statistically, the first is more likely. There are always more top students than vegetarian top students. Yet for all its potential to trick, context more often serves as our mental shortcut to efficient understanding. Rather than memorizing every possible meaning of words and sentence patterns, we constantly use surrounding information to fill gaps. As linguist J. R. Firth observed, “You shall know a word by the company it keeps.” For example, in the sentence “My daughter was ferliamated when she got a pet dog,” we can guess that “ferliamated” means “excited”, even if the word doesn’t exist. This two-sided nature of context leads us to an important discovery about how our minds work. While we can discuss anything at any time in any context, it seems more likely that we talk about the things whose meaning lies in the same context. This offers exciting possibilities for understanding both the human mind and language itself-showing how communication depends not just on our thinking, but equally on how language is built to work with context. 61. Which image matches the description of the “runners” illusion? A. B. C. D. 62. Why do people often choose option (b) in the Belinda example? A. Personalities affect decision-making. B. Extra details disturb their logical thinking. C. Top students often make better choices. D. Personal experiences lead to their false judgment. 63. How do Firth’s quote and the “ferliamated” example support the author’s point? A. They prove that words can have random meanings. B. They explain why memorizing words isn’t a shortcut. C. They demonstrate what dictionaries can’t really clarify. D. They show how context contributes to word understanding. 64. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s view on context? A. Context is generally harmful to logical thinking. B. Context is useless in understanding new words. C. Context can both mislead and aid understanding. D. Context should be avoided in serious discussions. 65. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The value of the research into context. B. The complex nature of context. C. The topics discussed within the same context. D. The link between context and mind. 【答案】61. B 62. B 63. D 64. C 65. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出人类思维虽强大，但易受语境误导，如视错觉和概率判断，同时语境也是理解的捷径，体现语境研究的价值。 【61题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, recent studies reveal how easily context can mislead us. Consider the Müller-Lyer illusion (错觉): equal-length lines look different if one has outward-pointing arrows and the other has inward-pointing arrows. Similarly, three identical-sized runners positioned along a visual path seem to vary in size.(然而，最近的研究表明，语境很容易误导我们。考虑一下Müller-Lyer错觉：如果一条线有向外指向的箭头，而另一条线有向内指向的箭头，那么等长线看起来是不同的。同样地，沿着视觉路径放置的三个相同大小的跑步者似乎大小不同)”可知，选项B中展示了两个人在跑道上跑步，其中一个人看似离终点更近，但可能存在视觉上的误导，比如跑道的角度、距离感等因素可能造成这种错觉，符合跑步者错觉这种关于视觉上的错觉情境。故选B。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Before you conclude that being fooled is reserved only for visual illusions, let me give the example of Belinda: an outspoken philosophy student, deeply concerned with sustainability, biodiversity, and global warming. Is Belinda more likely: a) a top student, or b) a top student and vegetarian? Many people choose the second, because the context of being vegetarian seems to fit the image of someone deeply concerned with sustainability. But statistically, the first is more likely. There are always more top students than vegetarian top students.(在你认为被愚弄的情况仅限于视觉错觉之前，请让我以贝琳达为例来说明一下：她是一位直言不讳的哲学专业学生，对可持续性、生物多样性和全球变暖问题非常关注。贝琳达更有可能是：a)一名优秀学生，还是 b)一名优秀学生并且是素食者？很多人会选择后者，因为素食者的形象似乎与对可持续性问题的深切关注相契合。但从统计学角度来看，第一种情况更有可能发生。优秀学生总是比素食的优秀学生更多)”可知，在Belinda的例子中，人们往往选择选项(b)是因为丰富的细节覆盖了他们的逻辑思维。故选B。 【63题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“As linguist J. R. Firth observed, “You shall know a word by the company it keeps.” For example, in the sentence “My daughter was ferliamated when she got a pet dog,” we can guess that “ferliamated” means “excited”, even if the word doesn’t exist.(正如语言学家 J. R. 弗斯所指出的那样：“你可以通过一个词所结交的伙伴来了解这个词。”例如，在句子“我女儿得到一只宠物狗时她ferliamated”中，即便“ferliamated”这个词并不存在，我们也能推断出它的意思是“兴奋的”)”可知，Firth的引言和ferliamated例子支持作者的观点，即，展示了语境如何帮助理解单词。故选D。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Yet for all its potential to trick, context more often serves as our mental shortcut to efficient understanding.(然而，尽管语境具有诸多误导性，但它往往却成为我们进行高效理解的思维捷径)”可知，作者认为，语境既可能误导理解，也可能有助于理解。故选C。 【65题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“This two-sided nature of context leads us to an important discovery about how our minds work. While we can discuss anything at any time in any context, it seems more likely that we talk about the things whose meaning lies in the same context. This offers exciting possibilities for understanding both the human mind and language itself — showing how communication depends not just on our thinking, but equally on how language is built to work with context.(这种上下文的双重特性促使我们有了一个关于人类思维运作方式的重要发现。尽管我们可以在任何情境下讨论任何内容，但似乎更有可能的是，我们会谈论那些在其意义方面与当前情境相契合的事物。这为理解人类思维和语言本身提供了令人兴奋的可能性——表明交流不仅取决于我们的思考，还取决于语言如何与情境相匹配以发挥作用)”可知，最后一段主要讲关于语境研究的价值。故选A。 D The social media platform Instagram once made headlines for limiting likes in an effort to reduce the comparisons and hurt feelings resulting from attaching popularity to sharing content. But do these efforts resolve mental health issues, or are they simply applying a band-aid to a wound? It’s a small step in the right direction, says Jacqueline Sperling, a psychologist who works with youth who experience anxiety disorders. “Even if you remove the likes, there continue to be opportunities for comparisons and feedback. People still can compare themselves to others, and people still can post comments.” Social platforms are designed to be addictive and are related to anxiety, depression, and even physical ailments (病痛).This puts a large amount of the population at an increased risk of feeling anxious, depressed, or ill over their social media use. But what makes users come back for more even when it can literally make them feel sick? “When the outcome is unpredictable, the behavior is more likely to repeat. Think of a slot machine (老虎机): if game players knew they were never going to get money by playing the game, then they never would play,” says Sperling. “The idea of a potential future reward keeps the machines in use. The same goes for social media sites. One does not know how many likes a picture will get, who will like the picture, and when the picture will receive likes. The unknown outcome and the possibility of a desired outcome can keep users engaged with the sites.” FOMO — fear of missing out — also impacts the youth greatly. Teenagers hope to keep track of friends’ activities. If everyone else is using social media sites, and if you don’t join in, there’s concern that you’ll miss chats, jokes, connections, or invitations. Missing experiences can create anxiety and depression. When people look online and see they’re excluded from an activity, it can affect thoughts and feelings, and can affect them physically. In addition to limiting likes, as Instagram has done, Sperling suggests social platforms consider decreasing mass sharing. They might function more as messaging services by highlighting one-on-one communications. Regardless of how likely social media giants are to change their ways, though, individuals can take control of their own behavior. 66. What does Sperling think of Instagram’s measure? A. It’s strict. B. It’s limited. C. It’s objective. D. It’s conservative. 67. What is probably the major reason for social media addiction? A. Need for self-expression. B. Desire for constant recognition. C. Expectation of possible surprises. D. Lack of interest in real-life activities. 68. What does Sperling advise social platforms to do in the last paragraph? A. Restrict their service scales. B. Decrease one-on-one interactions C. Limit the time users spend on them. D. Shift the focus from sharing to messaging. 69. What might the author continue talking about? A. Redesign of social media platforms. B. Changes made by social media giants. C. Strategies for individuals’ self-control. D. Impact of social media on mental health. 70. What is the main idea of the passage? A. To criticize Instagram’s ineffective measure of hiding likes. B. To analyze the causes of social media addiction and propose solutions. C. To explain how FOMO affects teenagers’ mental health. D. To prove that social media is harmful to people’s physical health. 【答案】66. B 67. C 68. D 69. C 70. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讨论了社交媒体平台通过限制点赞功能试图缓解心理健康问题，但心理学家指出这种做法效果有限，并分析了社交媒体成瘾的原因，提出了平台改进方向及个人应对策略。 【66题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“It’s a small step in the right direction, says Jacqueline Sperling, a psychologist who works with youth who experience anxiety disorders. “Even if you remove the likes, there continue to be opportunities for comparisons and feedback. People still can compare themselves to others, and people still can post comments.” (心理学家杰奎琳·斯珀林表示，这只是朝着正确方向迈出的一小步。“即使你取消了点赞，比较和反馈的机会依然存在。人们仍然可以把自己和别人比较，也仍然可以发表评论。”)”可知，她这为这一措施有一定积极意义，但作用有限。 【67题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一句“When the outcome is unpredictable, the behavior is more likely to repeat. (当结果不可预测时，行为更容易重复。)”以及最后两句“One does not know how many likes a picture will get, who will like the picture, and when the picture will receive likes. The unknown outcome and the possibility of a desired outcome can keep users engaged with the sites. (人们不知道一张图片会收到多少点赞、谁会喜欢它、它何时会得到点赞。未知的结果和期待的结果出现的可能性会让用户沉迷于这些网站。)”可知，社交媒体成瘾的主要原因是用户对可能的意外惊喜，如点赞数量、点赞者、点赞时间等抱有期待。 【68题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段前两句“In addition to limiting likes, as Instagram has done, Sperling suggests social platforms consider decreasing mass sharing. They might function more as messaging services by highlighting one-on-one communications. (除了像Instagram那样限制点赞之外，斯珀林还建议社交平台考虑减少大规模分享。通过强调一对一的交流，它们或许可以更像通讯服务那样运作。)”可知，她建议社交平台将重点从分享转向通讯功能。 【69题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“Regardless of how likely social media giants are to change their ways, though, individuals can take control of their own behavior. (然而，不论社交媒体巨头们改变其方式的可能性有多大，个人都可以控制自己的行为。)”可知，作者在段落结尾将话题转向了个人可以主动控制自己的行为，因此接下来很可能继续讨论个人如何进行自我控制的具体策略。 【70题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段通过Instagram限制点赞的措施引出话题，第二段指出该措施效果有限，第三段分析社交媒体对健康的负面影响，第四段分析成瘾原因，第五段分析FOMO的影响，最后一段提出平台改进建议和个人应对策略。综合全文，文章主要在分析社交媒体成瘾的原因，并提出相应的解决方案。 五、阅读表达（每道题2分，合计10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Last summer, my tech-fan cousin Alex bought an advanced self-driving car. One misty evening, as we drove on a narrow and winding cliff-side road, Alex, full of confidence, turned on the self-driving mode. At that time, I was nervous, holding the armrest tightly, while Alex casually scrolled (滚屏) through social media, completely ignoring the increasingly dangerous road conditions. Suddenly, a strong deer appeared in the headlights. At that critical moment, the car’s sensors, which had been failing unnoticed, went wrong. Instead of braking, the car sped towards the deer. Alex, realizing the danger at the last second, tried to reach for the steering wheel, but it was too late. The car crashed into the deer, and we were shaken hard. Surprisingly, the deer ran into the woods, unhurt. We sat in the damaged car, shocked. This accident made me reflect on technology’s issues. In healthcare, AI robots, sometimes, for speed, misread symptoms, causing incorrect diagnoses. In education, speed-focused AI graders may score essays by keywords, missing emotional depth in student stories — like a child writing of sadness, whose words become data, not cries for sympathy. In other words, AI prioritizes speed over correct diagnosis or students’ emotional expressions. Philosopher Sherry Turkle’s words make sense — “We’re sacrificing exactness and sympathy for efficiency.” But this doesn’t mean we should reject technology. We should use it carefully and wisely. Just like a compass helps a sailor but doesn’t replace his skills, technology should help our judgment, not take over. Doctors could use AI technology as an extra opinion, and compare it with their own knowledge. Teachers can use AI technology to analyze student data and adjust lessons with their own insights, and not to let algorithms (算法) control teaching. That night, standing by the broken car, I realized that technology, for all its power, depends on us. Over-reliance on it weakens our ability to adapt and think. In the end, we, not machines, should shape the future. 71. How did the author and Alex feel during the drive before the accident? (no more than 10 words) _____________________________________________________________________________ 72. What contributed to the accident of the self-driving car according to the Paragraph 2? (no more than 10 words) _____________________________________________________________________________ 73. What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 3? (no more than 10 words) _____________________________________________________________________________ 74. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? (no more than 10 words) _____________________________________________________________________________ 75. Do you consider AI technology as a tool to make important decisions in our lives? Please explain in your own words. (no more than 25 words) _____________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】71. The author felt nervous and Alex felt relaxed. 72. The car’s sensor failure and Alex’s inattention/distraction. 73. We are giving up accuracy and understanding others for speed. / We are choosing speed over accuracy and understanding others. 74. We should use technology carefully and wisely. 75. No. AI lacks human judgment and sympathy, which is crucial in decision-making. It should be human beings who make their own decisions about their future. / Yes. AI can offer data-driven insights to enhance the quality of important decisions. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过自动驾驶汽车事故，探讨科技依赖问题并主张理性使用科技。 【71题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“At that time, I was nervous, holding the armrest tightly, while Alex casually scrolled (滚屏) through social media, completely ignoring the increasingly dangerous road conditions. Suddenly, a strong deer appeared in the headlights. At that critical moment, the car’s sensors, which had been failing unnoticed, went wrong.(当时，我紧张极了，双手紧紧抓着扶手，而Alex却漫不经心地刷着社交媒体，完全无视愈发危险的路况。突然，一只体型健壮的鹿出现在车灯照射的范围内。就在这千钧一发之际，汽车那此前一直未被察觉地出现故障的传感器彻底失灵了)”以及第三段“This accident made me reflect on technology’s issues.(这次事故让我反思科技的问题)”可知，事故发生前作者因担忧潜在危险而紧张，Alex却因过度信任自动驾驶技术而放松。故答案为The author felt nervous and Alex felt relaxed. 【72题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“At that time, I was nervous, holding the armrest tightly, while Alex casually scrolled (滚屏) through social media, completely ignoring the increasingly dangerous road conditions. Suddenly, a strong deer appeared in the headlights. At that critical moment, the car’s sensors, which had been failing unnoticed, went wrong.( 当时，我紧张极了，双手紧紧抓着扶手，而Alex却漫不经心地刷着社交媒体，完全无视愈发危险的路况。突然，一只体型健壮的鹿出现在车灯照射的范围内。就在这千钧一发之际，汽车那此前一直未被察觉地出现故障的传感器彻底失灵了)”可知，事故的直接原因是传感器故障与驾驶者分心。故答案为The car’s sensor failure and Alex’s inattention/distraction. 【73题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第三段中“In healthcare, AI robots, sometimes, for speed, misread symptoms, causing incorrect diagnoses.(在医疗保健领域，人工智能机器人有时会为了速度而误读症状，导致错误的诊断)”以及“In education, speed-focused AI graders may score essays by keywords, missing emotional depth in student stories — like a child writing of sadness, whose words become data, not cries for sympathy.(在教育领域，那些以速度为导向的人工智能评分系统可能仅通过关键词来评判作文，从而忽略了学生故事中的情感深度——比如一个孩子写下关于悲伤的内容时，其文字在AI眼中只是数据，而非渴望共鸣的呼喊)”可知，AI在医疗和教育中 优先速度而非正确性 ，并且也会忽略情感”。所以划线句意为 “我们为效率牺牲了准确性和共情能力”。故答案为We are giving up accuracy and understanding others for speed/We are choosing speed over accuracy and understanding others。 【74题详解】 考查段落主旨。根据第四段中“We should use it carefully and wisely. Just like a compass helps a sailor but doesn’t replace his skills, technology should help our judgment, not take over. Doctors could use AI technology as an extra opinion, and compare it with their own knowledge. Teachers can use AI technology to analyze student data and adjust lessons with their own insights, and not to let algorithms (算法) control teaching.(我们应审慎且明智地使用技术。正如罗盘能辅助航海者导航却无法替代其航海技能一样，技术应当辅助我们的判断力，而非取而代之。医生可将人工智能技术视为辅助意见，并将其与自身专业知识相互印证；教师则可借助人工智能分析学生数据，结合自身洞察调整教学策略，而非任由算法主导教学过程)”可知，该段通过类比强调技术需服务于人类判断，而非主导决策，我们应该谨慎而明智地使用技术。故答案为 We should use technology carefully and wisely. 【75题详解】 开放性试题。本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一，合理即可。否定观点示例：AI基于算法而非情感，在涉及伦理或情感判断时（如医疗诊断、教育评估），人类的主观判断与共情能力不可替代，过度依赖AI可能引发系统性风险。肯定观点示例：AI通过海量数据分析可提供客观依据（如医疗风险预测、教育效果评估），辅助人类做出更科学的决策，但需与人类专业判断结合以规避局限性。故答案为No. AI lacks human judgment and sympathy, which is crucial in decision-making. It should be human beings who make their own decisions about their future./Yes. AI can offer data-driven insights to enhance the quality of important decisions. 六、书面表达（满分25分） 76. 假如你是晨光中学学生李津。毕业季将至，面对未来的人生抉择，同学们都在认真思考。下周，你校将与英国友好学校举办主题为“Voices Behind Our Choices”的线上交流活动。请结合下面图片内容，用英语撰写一篇发言稿。 内容包括： (1)简要描述图片内容，并从中做出你的一个选择; (2)结合自身实际，说明你做出该选择的理由(至少写出两点); (3)邀请友好校的学生分享他们的看法。 注意： (1)词数不少于100; (2)可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯; (3)开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 试题词汇：十字路口crossroads Good morning, dear friends.

My name is Li Jin. As the picture vividly shows, a student stands at a crossroads, with four signs pointing in different directions: Parents’ Advice, Peer Influence, Social Trends and Inner Voice. Each represents a different force shaping our life choices. Faced with these options, I choose to follow my Inner Voice. There are two main reasons behind my decision. First, my inner voice reflects my true passions and strengths. Ever since I was a child, I have been fascinated by environmental science. Though my parents suggested I study finance, and my peers often talk about popular majors like computer science, I know that protecting nature is what truly drives me. Choosing my passion means I will stay motivated even when challenges arise. Second, following my inner voice helps me take responsibility for my own life. If I choose a path based on others’ expectations, I might end up feeling unfulfilled and regretful. Taking charge of my choices allows me to grow as an independent person, learning from both successes and mistakes along the way. I’m curious to hear about your experiences. What voices do you listen to when making big decisions? Do you have any stories about choosing your own path? I would love to hear your thoughts! Thank you. 【解析】 【导语】题目要求考生以晨光中学学生李津的身份，在与英国友好学校举办的 “Voices Behind Our Choices” 线上交流活动中发言，需描述图片内容并做出选择，阐述选择理由，最后邀请友好校学生分享看法。 【详解】1.词汇积累 塑造：shape → mold 面对：face → confront 反映：reflect → mirror 着迷：be fascinated by → be enchanted by 2. 句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Faced with these options, I choose to follow my Inner Voice. 拓展句：When I am faced with these options, I choose to follow my Inner Voice. 【点睛】【高分句型1】As the picture vividly shows, a student stands at a crossroads, with four signs pointing in different directions: Parents’ Advice, Peer Influence, Social Trends and Inner Voice.（运用as引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】Ever since I was a child, I have been fascinated by environmental science.（运用ever since引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。The bus will pick us up at eight thirty AM, and then it's an hours ride. so we can get there early enough.

B THE TIME MACHINE (Adapted) It was at ten o’clock today that the first of all Time Machines began its career. I gave it a last check, and sat myself in the leather seat. I pushed the starting lever on the main panel forwards an inch then immediately backwards again. Looking around, I saw my laboratory exactly as before. Had anything happened? I thought my mind had tricked me. Then I saw the clock. A moment before, it was a minute or so past ten; now it was nearly half past three! I drew a breath, gripped the lever and pushed it forwards. The laboratory went hazy around me. My niece came in to fetch something, maybe her handkerchief, apparently without seeing me. It probably took her a minute, but to me she moved like a rocket! I pushed the lever further. Night came as if a lamp was being turned out, and in another moment came the day. Tomorrow night came, then skipped to day, again and again, faster and faster still. It is hard to explain the strange and unpleasant feeling of time travelling. It felt like I was being driven fast on a winding road. As my pace grew faster, the walls of the laboratory fell away, and I was left in the open air. The sun and moon looked as if they were being thrown across the sky, but soon there was division between night and day. Around me I saw trees growing like puffs of smoke; they grew, spread, and died in moments. I saw huge buildings rise up, then disappear like in a dream. The whole surface of the earth was being changed, melting and flowing before my eyes. I calculated that I was being pushed through time at hundreds of years a minute. I had a strong urge to look at the random things that were being flashed before my eyes! I had thought about the risk of stopping the Time Machine many times. So long as I travelled at maximum speed, it didn’t matter. But if I stopped and the same space was being occupied by something else, we would be forced together and explode like a bomb! Like an impatient fool, I pulled the lever backwards hard. With a sudden jolt, the Time Machine was flipped on its side, and I was thrown through the air. I was stunned for a moment, and then heard the sound of thunder. I was sitting in the rain in some mud next to the machine. “A fine welcome,” I said, “for a man who has travelled thousands of years to be here!” 56. What happened to the Time Traveller’s niece? A. She moved like a rocket in the lab. B. She came to help the Time Traveller. C. She saw the Time Traveller travel in the time machine. D. She was looking for something in the lab for a little while. 57. Why did the Time Traveller feel strange and unpleasant during the time travel? A. The Time Machine had been poorly designed. B. He was travelling through time at such a high speed. C. He suffered from the time lag. D. He was feeling the time travel sick. 58. Why was the Time Traveller worried about stopping the machine? A. Because he would lose control of the machine. B. Because the machine would explode as a bomb. C. Because the machine was so fast that he couldn’t stop it. D. Because the same space might be possessed by other things and they would all explode. 59. What did the Time Traveller meet when he stopped? A. A dinosaur. B. A storm. C. A volcano. D. An explosion of a bomb. 60. What order is the passage written in? A. Time. B. Places. C. The process of events. D. Feelings. C The human mind is astonishing. We can solve complex problems, perform calculations, create art, and process language effortlessly. We humans are the smartest of all, or so we think… However, recent studies reveal how easily context can mislead us. Consider the Müller-Lyer illusion (错觉): equal-length lines look different if one has outward-pointing arrows and the other has inward-pointing arrows. Similarly, three identical-sized runners positioned along a visual path seem to vary in size. Before you conclude that being fooled is reserved only for visual illusions, let me give the example of Belinda: an outspoken philosophy student, deeply concerned with sustainability, biodiversity, and global warming. Is Belinda more likely: a) a top student, or b) a top student and vegetarian? Many people choose the second, because the context of being vegetarian seems to fit the image of someone deeply concerned with sustainability. But statistically, the first is more likely. There are always more top students than vegetarian top students. Yet for all its potential to trick, context more often serves as our mental shortcut to efficient understanding. Rather than memorizing every possible meaning of words and sentence patterns, we constantly use surrounding information to fill gaps. As linguist J. R. Firth observed, “You shall know a word by the company it keeps.” For example, in the sentence “My daughter was ferliamated when she got a pet dog,” we can guess that “ferliamated” means “excited”, even if the word doesn’t exist. This two-sided nature of context leads us to an important discovery about how our minds work. While we can discuss anything at any time in any context, it seems more likely that we talk about the things whose meaning lies in the same context. This offers exciting possibilities for understanding both the human mind and language itself-showing how communication depends not just on our thinking, but equally on how language is built to work with context. 61. Which image matches the description of the “runners” illusion? A. B. C. D. 62. Why do people often choose option (b) in the Belinda example? A. Personalities affect decision-making. B. Extra details disturb their logical thinking. C. Top students often make better choices. D. Personal experiences lead to their false judgment. 63. How do Firth’s quote and the “ferliamated” example support the author’s point? A. They prove that words can have random meanings. B. They explain why memorizing words isn’t a shortcut. C. They demonstrate what dictionaries can’t really clarify. D. They show how context contributes to word understanding. 64. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s view on context? A. Context is generally harmful to logical thinking. B. Context is useless in understanding new words. C. Context can both mislead and aid understanding. D. Context should be avoided in serious discussions. 65. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The value of the research into context. B. The complex nature of context. C. The topics discussed within the same context. D. The link between context and mind. D The social media platform Instagram once made headlines for limiting likes in an effort to reduce the comparisons and hurt feelings resulting from attaching popularity to sharing content. But do these efforts resolve mental health issues, or are they simply applying a band-aid to a wound? It’s a small step in the right direction, says Jacqueline Sperling, a psychologist who works with youth who experience anxiety disorders. “Even if you remove the likes, there continue to be opportunities for comparisons and feedback. People still can compare themselves to others, and people still can post comments.” Social platforms are designed to be addictive and are related to anxiety, depression, and even physical ailments (病痛).This puts a large amount of the population at an increased risk of feeling anxious, depressed, or ill over their social media use. But what makes users come back for more even when it can literally make them feel sick? “When the outcome is unpredictable, the behavior is more likely to repeat. Think of a slot machine (老虎机): if game players knew they were never going to get money by playing the game, then they never would play,” says Sperling. “The idea of a potential future reward keeps the machines in use. The same goes for social media sites. One does not know how many likes a picture will get, who will like the picture, and when the picture will receive likes. The unknown outcome and the possibility of a desired outcome can keep users engaged with the sites.” FOMO — fear of missing out — also impacts the youth greatly. Teenagers hope to keep track of friends’ activities. If everyone else is using social media sites, and if you don’t join in, there’s concern that you’ll miss chats, jokes, connections, or invitations. Missing experiences can create anxiety and depression. When people look online and see they’re excluded from an activity, it can affect thoughts and feelings, and can affect them physically. In addition to limiting likes, as Instagram has done, Sperling suggests social platforms consider decreasing mass sharing. They might function more as messaging services by highlighting one-on-one communications. Regardless of how likely social media giants are to change their ways, though, individuals can take control of their own behavior. 66. What does Sperling think of Instagram’s measure? A. It’s strict. B. It’s limited. C. It’s objective. D. It’s conservative. 67. What is probably the major reason for social media addiction? A. Need for self-expression. B. Desire for constant recognition. C. Expectation of possible surprises. D. Lack of interest in real-life activities. 68. What does Sperling advise social platforms to do in the last paragraph? A. Restrict their service scales. B. Decrease one-on-one interactions C. Limit the time users spend on them. D. Shift the focus from sharing to messaging. 69. What might the author continue talking about? A. Redesign of social media platforms. B. Changes made by social media giants. C. Strategies for individuals’ self-control. D. Impact of social media on mental health. 70. What is the main idea of the passage? A. To criticize Instagram’s ineffective measure of hiding likes. B. To analyze the causes of social media addiction and propose solutions. C. To explain how FOMO affects teenagers’ mental health. D. To prove that social media is harmful to people’s physical health. 五、阅读表达（每道题2分，合计10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Last summer, my tech-fan cousin Alex bought an advanced self-driving car. One misty evening, as we drove on a narrow and winding cliff-side road, Alex, full of confidence, turned on the self-driving mode. At that time, I was nervous, holding the armrest tightly, while Alex casually scrolled (滚屏) through social media, completely ignoring the increasingly dangerous road conditions. Suddenly, a strong deer appeared in the headlights. At that critical moment, the car’s sensors, which had been failing unnoticed, went wrong. Instead of braking, the car sped towards the deer. Alex, realizing the danger at the last second, tried to reach for the steering wheel, but it was too late. The car crashed into the deer, and we were shaken hard. Surprisingly, the deer ran into the woods, unhurt. We sat in the damaged car, shocked. This accident made me reflect on technology’s issues. In healthcare, AI robots, sometimes, for speed, misread symptoms, causing incorrect diagnoses. In education, speed-focused AI graders may score essays by keywords, missing emotional depth in student stories — like a child writing of sadness, whose words become data, not cries for sympathy. In other words, AI prioritizes speed over correct diagnosis or students’ emotional expressions. Philosopher Sherry Turkle’s words make sense — “We’re sacrificing exactness and sympathy for efficiency.” But this doesn’t mean we should reject technology. We should use it carefully and wisely. Just like a compass helps a sailor but doesn’t replace his skills, technology should help our judgment, not take over. Doctors could use AI technology as an extra opinion, and compare it with their own knowledge. Teachers can use AI technology to analyze student data and adjust lessons with their own insights, and not to let algorithms (算法) control teaching. That night, standing by the broken car, I realized that technology, for all its power, depends on us. Over-reliance on it weakens our ability to adapt and think. In the end, we, not machines, should shape the future. 71. How did the author and Alex feel during the drive before the accident?
