I got up at 5 a.m. to play scales, practised at lunchtime and returned to my cello (大提琴) after lessons. One evening, while practicing a demanding piece, I pushed myself too far. I felt a burning pain between my wrist and elbow. When it hadn’t got better after a day or two, I started to panic. Days became weeks. I still could not write or play. Weeks turned into months. Opportunities for concerts, recitals, and competitions came and went. When I wasn’t sitting with my instrument, I was punishing myself for my own stupidity. My technique had probably not been secure enough for the demands I was placing on it. But now it was too late. Over two years, I gradually recovered some arm function. I was able to play some early music such as Handel and Bach, on a baroque cello, as the movements are gentler and lighter. However, the possibility of my arm letting me down has never left me. The turning point came, unexpectedly, during a photoshoot for an up-to-date picture. The photographer suggested I get my cello and see what images of playing might look like. I hesitated — I didn’t see myself as a cellist any more. But then I fetched it and sat playing snatches of Bach. In that moment, the lens pointing at my instrument and me, I began to understand something I had only half sensed until then. Away from my cello, my shadow was missing. Without it I felt incomplete. But with my instrument I was protected and entirely happy in my own skin. During that photoshoot I realised I needed to find out what the cello, and its absence, had meant to other cellists, to understand what it meant to me. So I planned a journey across Europe. I encountered cellos destroyed by war and shipwreck, and even a cello tat had been turned into a beehive. I even played with a resourceful cellist, who, having lost the use of his right thumb, ties his bow onto his hand with a bicycle inner tube. Over the course of my travels, I learned I was not alone. Besides, my experience might help others. I am also beginning to look for ways to return to the repertoire (曲目) I loved. Supported by a community of musicians in similar situations, I now celebrate every concert as a step towards healing. 24. After the injury, the author . A. tried an alternative career path B. played Bach to impress the audience C. secured the performing opportunities D. blamed herself for practicing too hard 25. The photoshoot experience was a turning point for the author because . A. it improved her professional image B. it showed her constant efforts paid off C. it deepened her connection to the cello D. it allowed her to meet incredible cellists 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. Fortune favors the bold. B. Constant dripping wears the stone. C. Good things come to those who wait. D. When given lemons, make lemonade. C Recently, I attended a public talk by someone whose views I “knew” I would oppose. And yet, I went. I listened, asked questions, and gave my time. While my core values weren’t transformed in those two hours, I learned something and left with a deeper appreciation for the complexity of other perspectives. In this weeknight activity, I was actively trying to tackle “beliefism,” a divisive phenomenon in which surrounding yourself with people who share your views leads to discrimination against those who disagree. In this way, beliefism deepens division and reinforces polarization — building walls instead of bridges. Indeed, beliefism is widespread in modern society. A significant part of the problem originates from the fact that we live in a world that is both physically and virtually divided. We rarely interact with people from other walks of life. Social media algorithms stoke the fires of division, locking us into echo chambers that reinforce our preexisting beliefs and shut down debate. Ultimately, where many forces are driving us apart, we must think — what can we do to unpack division and restore connection? We can begin by trying to understand the psychology of beliefism, which at its core is a form of bias — a mental shortcut in which we categorise people according to single characteristics or generalising assumptions. Indeed, in a world that is infinitely complex, our minds use these biases to simplify and make sense of the world. The thing is, when we see others only through the perspective of their political or social beliefs, we reduce and flatten them to a single dimension. Further, when people feel they are dismissed or disregarded only for their beliefs, they are left feeling isolated and misunderstood. Secondly, we can understand the tendency for beliefism as part of our evolutionary (进化的) desire to establish a community or group. The problem is that while this instinct (本能) may have once served evolutionary purposes, today, it blocks meaningful dialogue and cooperation. Indeed, research shows that overcoming beliefism has benefits. When we welcome a variety of ideas and perspectives, we are able to overcome group-think and make better decisions and judgements. What’s more, less beliefist people are generally happier, having stronger, more fulfilling relationships and broader horizons. Luckily, there are a number of relevant, research-backed psychological techniques that help build tolerance and break bias. We might exercise individuation, seeing people as diverse-sided individuals and breaking away from reductive ways of thinking. We can practice perspective-taking, building empathy (同理心) by stepping into someone else’s shoes and trying to see the world through their eyes. Ultimately, the way forward is not through divisions, but through a recognition of our shared humanity. Remind yourself that each person exists at the intersection of many identities, experiences, and beliefs. Challenge yourself to practice empathy, and remember that no one is wholly defined by the worst thing they have said or done. 27. What does the underlined word “stoke” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Fuel. B. Keep. C. Put. D. Contain. 28. What can we know about beliefism from the passage? A. Social media algorithms mainly contribute to its wide spread. B. Human evolution proves its harm in establishing group-think. C. It reflects our simplified way of understanding the surrounding world. D. It leads us to make assumptions about others’ political or social beliefs. 29. Which of the following would be most effective in fighting beliefism? A. Facilitating interactions between people from different communities. B. Creating a list of acceptable beliefs for each community to follow. C. Asking people to write about their experiences of being isolated. D. Stressing conflict instead of cooperation between different beliefs. 30. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Beyond Us and Them B. The Roots of Beliefism C. The Harm of Social Division D. At the Crossroad of Faith D Crucial systems across the world collapsed on Friday, triggered by one mistake in a single company. The power cut of CrowdStrike, a giant in the cybersecurity industry, hit banks, airlines, and health-care systems. It may end up being the worst information technology disaster in history. This was not, however, an unforeseeable freak accident, nor will it be the last of its kind. Instead, the devastation was the inevitable outcome of modern social systems that have been designed for hyperconnected optimization (优化), not decentralized resilience. There is often a trade-off between maximum optimization and resilience. Consider a basic prehistorical social system in which many humans lived in small, isolated bands. What any single person did would have little to no effect on those living elsewhere. It was an inefficient, basic system — but if one part of the human system failed, few others were affected. Throughout our advancement as a species, from building empires to building machines, social systems have evolved to be more connected and centralized. In the 21st century, the combination of globalization and digitization has created a landscape characterized by the threat of catastrophic, immediate risk. Globalization enables large efficiency gains, where a product can be put together from carefully managed links in the global supply chain. But those systems lack resilience. Every link must fit together perfectly; the system falls apart if even one chain breaks. Centuries ago, the philosopher David Hume wrote that we can never be certain that the patterns of the past will remain the patterns of the future. This is especially true in the 21st century as we are betting more and more of our world on unstable systems. Can we really trust our species to flawlessly govern unimaginably complex systems — systems we don’t always fully understand — that can be brought down by a single screw-up? Modern societies have discounted the cost of that risk because our current reward systems favor optimization over resilience. CEOs try to deliver short-term improvements, not long-term planning. Nobody gets reelected by investing in a rainy-day fund. Business leaders are hired or fired based on quarterly results. Even though the modern quest for optimization has too often made resilience an afterthought, it is not inevitable that we continue down the risky path we’re on. And making our systems more resilient doesn’t require going back to a disconnected, primitive world, either. Instead, our complex, interconnected societies simply demand that we compromise a bit of efficiency in order to allow a little extra cushion (缓冲). If social systems rely on a more diverse digital array of companies, the societies will be less vulnerable (脆弱的). For the broader set of risks facing global society, better regulation is essential to ensure fail-safes, backups, and stress testing — so that one error doesn’t bring down entire systems. The CrowdStrike breakdown is a clear warming that the modern world is fragile by design. So far, we have decided to make ourselves vulnerable. That means we can decide differently too. 31. The author mentions the CrowdStrike mainly to ________. A. highlight its crucial role in cybersecurity B. introduce an information technology collapse C. explain why people are in a connected system D. indicate predictable failures of the modern system 32. What can be inferred about a more globalized system? A. It leads to a highly advanced digitalized network. B. It tends to prioritize adaptability over productivity. C. It enlarges the impact of local errors to a global scale. D. It guarantees immediate economic rewards for participants. 33. As for the future of social systems, which would the author agree with? A. The more disconnected they are, the more resilient they will be. B. Some efficiency should be sacrificed for more flexibility. C. Long-term planning prevents structural breakdowns. D. History can help people predict future patterns. 34. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Hyperconnectivity: The Price of Perfection B. A Wakeful Warning: The Lesson from CrowdStrike C. System Collapse: An Inevitable Technology Disaster D. Resilience vs. Optimization: A Debate for Better Systems 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In our fast-paced, technology-driven world, the act of eating has transformed from a mindful practice to an often hurried and distracted (分心的) activity. Distracted eating, characterized by consuming food while engaging in other activities such as watching television, scrolling through smartphones, or working at a desk, is becoming increasingly widespread. ____35____ The common presence of digital devices and the constant demands of modern life have contributed to the rise of distracted eating. ____36____ For instance, office workers frequently eat lunch while replying to emails, and students snack during online classes. This behavior is not limited to any specific age group. Distracted eating has several negative effects on physical and mental health. When attention is divided between eating and another activity, it becomes challenging to recognize signals of being full. ____37____ Studies have shown a correlation between distracted eating and an increased intake of calories, contributing to weight gain and obesity. Eating while distracted can impair digestion. The body needs to be in a relaxed state for proper digestion, but multitasking can create a state of mild stress, affecting the digestive process. This can lead to discomfort, bloating, and other gastrointestinal issues. ____38____ This reduces the overall nutritional quality of the diet, impacting long-term health. The practice of mindful eating, which involves paying full attention to the experience of eating, has been linked to improved mental health outcomes. In contrast, distracted eating can contribute to stress and anxiety, as it reduces the enjoyment and satisfaction of meals. ____39____ Creating specific areas for eating, free from digital devices and work related materials helps to establish a clear boundary between mealtime and other activities. Establishing and following regular meal times can reduce the temptation to cat while multitasking. This encourages a more structured approach to eating. Engage in mindful eating by focusing on the sensory experience of food — its taste, texture, and aroma. This can enhance the enjoyment of meals and improve satiety recognition. As awareness of the issue grows, it is hoped that more people will recognize the benefits of mindful eating and make conscious (自觉的) efforts to enjoy their meals fully and healthily. A. Addressing distracted eating requires conscious effort and lifestyle changes. B. Over time, this habit may weaken the brain’s ability to associate food with satisfaction. C. Eating in response to boredom, rather than genuine hunger, is a frequent consequence of such behavior. D. This shift in eating habits has significant consequences for our health and well-being. E. This can lead to overeating, as individuals are less aware of how much they have consumed. F. People are multitasking more than ever, trying to maximize productivity by combining meal times with other activities. G. Distracted eaters may make poorer food choices, choosing convenience foods that are often high in sugar, fat, and salt. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题纸指定区域作答。 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 The convenience of modern life is truly astonishing. As I write this, my phone is wirelessly playing 18th-century classics, and I can use the same device to instantly get a ride or have food delivered. It’s easy to see why we love such shortcuts—they make life easier, save time, and reduce effort. However, many people also recognize that convenience has its darker sides. To understand why, we need to examine why we are so drawn to convenience in the first place. Evolutionary psychology can provide some answers. The concept of “evolutionary mismatch” suggests that we evolved as hunter-gatherers, but while the world has changed, our brains and bodies have not. This mismatch means that our instincts often don’t match modern life. In the past, resistance—whether to avoid unnecessary effort or conserve energy—was vital during tough times, like searching for food in the rain or escaping from danger. Those who stayed sheltered during hard times, like storms when food was scarce, were more likely to survive and pass on their genes. We have inherited (继承) this instinct to conserve energy from them. Innovation has dramatically transformed our world. Technology and our environment have adapted to suit our instinct to conserve energy. But what do we lose when we prioritize convenience? Choosing the easy path consistently weakens our ability to tackle challenges. From an evolutionary view, some discomfort is as essential to survival as rest. Our ancestors didn’t survive by being lazy; they survived by balancing safety with risk. This very struggle shapes and develops our character. In today’s technological world, we must sometimes go against our natural instincts. As a society, we need to remember—and teach the younger generation—that while convenience may feel good in the moment, our ability to adapt and overcome challenges is not only a key part of our evolutionary heritage but also central to the adventure of life. 40. Why do people love shortcuts? __________________________________________________ 41. What does “evolutionary mismatch” mean? __________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. The evolutionary view shows that some discomfort is less important for our survival compared to rest. __________________________________________________ 43. Use an example to show what you can learn about “convenience” from the passage.

At fifteen, I won a scholarship to a specialist music school. I got up at 5 a.m. to play scales, practised at lunchtime and returned to my cello (大提琴) after lessons. One evening, while practicing a demanding piece, I pushed myself too far. I felt a burning pain between my wrist and elbow. When it hadn’t got better after a day or two, I started to panic. Days became weeks. I still could not write or play. Weeks turned into months. Opportunities for concerts, recitals, and competitions came and went. When I wasn’t sitting with my instrument, I was punishing myself for my own stupidity. My technique had probably not been secure enough for the demands I was placing on it. But now it was too late. Over two years, I gradually recovered some arm function. I was able to play some early music such as Handel and Bach, on a baroque cello, as the movements are gentler and lighter. However, the possibility of my arm letting me down has never left me. The turning point came, unexpectedly, during a photoshoot for an up-to-date picture. The photographer suggested I get my cello and see what images of playing might look like. I hesitated — I didn’t see myself as a cellist any more. But then I fetched it and sat playing snatches of Bach. In that moment, the lens pointing at my instrument and me, I began to understand something I had only half sensed until then. Away from my cello, my shadow was missing. Without it I felt incomplete. But with my instrument I was protected and entirely happy in my own skin. During that photoshoot I realised I needed to find out what the cello, and its absence, had meant to other cellists, to understand what it meant to me. So I planned a journey across Europe. I encountered cellos destroyed by war and shipwreck, and even a cello tat had been turned into a beehive. I even played with a resourceful cellist, who, having lost the use of his right thumb, ties his bow onto his hand with a bicycle inner tube. Over the course of my travels, I learned I was not alone. Besides, my experience might help others. I am also beginning to look for ways to return to the repertoire (曲目) I loved. Supported by a community of musicians in similar situations, I now celebrate every concert as a step towards healing. 24. After the injury, the author . A. tried an alternative career path B. played Bach to impress the audience C. secured the performing opportunities D. blamed herself for practicing too hard 25. The photoshoot experience was a turning point for the author because . A. it improved her professional image B. it showed her constant efforts paid off C. it deepened her connection to the cello D. it allowed her to meet incredible cellists 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. Fortune favors the bold. B. Constant dripping wears the stone. C. Good things come to those who wait. D. When given lemons, make lemonade. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者作为大提琴手受伤后的心路历程与重新找回自我的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One evening, while practicing a demanding piece, I pushed myself too far. I felt a burning pain between my wrist and elbow. When it hadn’t got better after a day or two, I started to panic. Days became weeks. I still could not write or play. (一天晚上，在练习一首要求很高的曲子时，我把自己逼得太狠了。我感到手腕和肘部之间有灼热感。一两天后，情况没有好转，我开始恐慌。几天变成了几周。我仍然不能写作或演奏)”以及第三段“When I wasn’t sitting with my instrument, I was punishing myself for my own stupidity. My technique had probably not been secure enough for the demands I was placing on it. But now it was too late.(当我没有坐在我的乐器前时，我就会因自己的愚蠢而自责。我的技巧可能还不够扎实，无法满足我对它提出的要求。但现在为时已晚)”可知，受伤后，作者责怪自己练习太刻苦。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“In that moment, the lens pointing at my instrument and me, I began to understand something I had only half sensed until then. Away from my cello, my shadow was missing. Without it I felt incomplete. But with my instrument I was protected and entirely happy in my own skin.(就在那一刻，镜头对准了我的乐器和我，我开始理解一些之前只是隐约感觉到的事情。离开了大提琴，我的影子似乎不见了。没有它，我感到不完整。但有了我的乐器，我感到被保护，并且完全自在)”可推知，这次拍摄经历对作者来说是一个转折点，因为它加深了作者与大提琴的联系。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文及最后一段“Over the course of my travels, I learned I was not alone. Besides, my experience might help others. I am also beginning to look for ways to return to the repertoire (曲目) I loved. Supported by a community of musicians in similar situations, I now celebrate every concert as a step towards healing.(在我的旅行过程中，我了解到我并不孤单。此外，我的经历可能会帮助其他人。我也开始寻找回到我热爱的曲目的方法。在一群处境相似的音乐家的支持下，我现在把每一场音乐会都视为迈向康复的一步)”可知，作者的经历告诉我们“当生活给你柠檬时，你要做柠檬汁”，即面对困境时要积极应对，寻找出路。故选D。 C Recently, I attended a public talk by someone whose views I “knew” I would oppose. And yet, I went. I listened, asked questions, and gave my time. While my core values weren’t transformed in those two hours, I learned something and left with a deeper appreciation for the complexity of other perspectives. In this weeknight activity, I was actively trying to tackle “beliefism,” a divisive phenomenon in which surrounding yourself with people who share your views leads to discrimination against those who disagree. In this way, beliefism deepens division and reinforces polarization — building walls instead of bridges. Indeed, beliefism is widespread in modern society. A significant part of the problem originates from the fact that we live in a world that is both physically and virtually divided. We rarely interact with people from other walks of life. Social media algorithms stoke the fires of division, locking us into echo chambers that reinforce our preexisting beliefs and shut down debate. Ultimately, where many forces are driving us apart, we must think — what can we do to unpack division and restore connection? We can begin by trying to understand the psychology of beliefism, which at its core is a form of bias — a mental shortcut in which we categorise people according to single characteristics or generalising assumptions. Indeed, in a world that is infinitely complex, our minds use these biases to simplify and make sense of the world. The thing is, when we see others only through the perspective of their political or social beliefs, we reduce and flatten them to a single dimension. Further, when people feel they are dismissed or disregarded only for their beliefs, they are left feeling isolated and misunderstood. Secondly, we can understand the tendency for beliefism as part of our evolutionary (进化的) desire to establish a community or group. The problem is that while this instinct (本能) may have once served evolutionary purposes, today, it blocks meaningful dialogue and cooperation. Indeed, research shows that overcoming beliefism has benefits. When we welcome a variety of ideas and perspectives, we are able to overcome group-think and make better decisions and judgements. What’s more, less beliefist people are generally happier, having stronger, more fulfilling relationships and broader horizons. Luckily, there are a number of relevant, research-backed psychological techniques that help build tolerance and break bias. We might exercise individuation, seeing people as diverse-sided individuals and breaking away from reductive ways of thinking. We can practice perspective-taking, building empathy (同理心) by stepping into someone else’s shoes and trying to see the world through their eyes. Ultimately, the way forward is not through divisions, but through a recognition of our shared humanity. Remind yourself that each person exists at the intersection of many identities, experiences, and beliefs. Challenge yourself to practice empathy, and remember that no one is wholly defined by the worst thing they have said or done. 27. What does the underlined word “stoke” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Fuel. B. Keep. C. Put. D. Contain. 28. What can we know about beliefism from the passage? A. Social media algorithms mainly contribute to its wide spread. B. Human evolution proves its harm in establishing group-think. C. It reflects our simplified way of understanding the surrounding world. D. It leads us to make assumptions about others’ political or social beliefs. 29. Which of the following would be most effective in fighting beliefism? A. Facilitating interactions between people from different communities. B. Creating a list of acceptable beliefs for each community to follow. C. Asking people to write about their experiences of being isolated. D. Stressing conflict instead of cooperation between different beliefs. 30. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Beyond Us and Them B. The Roots of Beliefism C. The Harm of Social Division D. At the Crossroad of Faith 【答案】27. A 28. C 29. A 30. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者对于信仰主义的看法以及如何摆脱这种思想。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“A significant part of the problem originates from the fact that we live in a world that is both physically and virtually divided. We rarely interact with people from other walks of life.(这个问题的很大一部分源于我们生活在一个物理上和虚拟上都是分裂的世界。我们很少与各行各业的人打交道)”以及后文“locking us into echo chambers that reinforce our preexisting beliefs and shut down debate(把我们锁在回音室里，强化了我们已有的信念，关闭了辩论)”可知，社交媒体算法点燃了分裂之火，把我们锁在回音室里，强化了我们已有的信念，关闭了辩论。故划线词意思是“点燃”，故选A。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Indeed, in a world that is infinitely complex, our minds use these biases to simplify and make sense of the world.(事实上，在一个无限复杂的世界里，我们的大脑利用这些偏见来简化和理解这个世界)”可知，信仰反映了我们理解周围世界的简化方式。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“When we welcome a variety of ideas and perspectives, we are able to overcome group-think and make better decisions and judgements. What’s more, less beliefist people are generally happier, having stronger, more fulfilling relationships and broader horizons.(当我们欢迎各种各样的想法和观点时，我们就能克服群体思维，做出更好的决定和判断。更重要的是，信仰主义者较少通常更快乐，拥有更牢固、更充实的人际关系和更广阔的视野)”可知，促进来自不同社区的人之间的互动对对抗信仰主义是最有效的。故选A。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Ultimately, the way forward is not through divisions, but through a recognition of our shared humanity. Remind yourself that each person exists at the intersection of many identities, experiences, and beliefs. Challenge yourself to practice empathy, and remember that no one is wholly defined by the worst thing they have said or done.(最终，前进的道路不是通过分裂，而是通过认识到我们共同的人性。提醒自己，每个人都存在于许多身份、经历和信仰的交叉点上。挑战自己，练习同理心，记住，没有人完全被他们说过或做过的最糟糕的事情所定义)”以及文章主要介绍了作者对于信仰主义的看法以及如何摆脱这种思想，可知，A选项“超越我们和他们”最符合文章标题。故选A。 D Crucial systems across the world collapsed on Friday, triggered by one mistake in a single company. The power cut of CrowdStrike, a giant in the cybersecurity industry, hit banks, airlines, and health-care systems. It may end up being the worst information technology disaster in history. This was not, however, an unforeseeable freak accident, nor will it be the last of its kind. Instead, the devastation was the inevitable outcome of modern social systems that have been designed for hyperconnected optimization (优化), not decentralized resilience. There is often a trade-off between maximum optimization and resilience. Consider a basic prehistorical social system in which many humans lived in small, isolated bands. What any single person did would have little to no effect on those living elsewhere. It was an inefficient, basic system — but if one part of the human system failed, few others were affected. Throughout our advancement as a species, from building empires to building machines, social systems have evolved to be more connected and centralized. In the 21st century, the combination of globalization and digitization has created a landscape characterized by the threat of catastrophic, immediate risk. Globalization enables large efficiency gains, where a product can be put together from carefully managed links in the global supply chain. But those systems lack resilience. Every link must fit together perfectly; the system falls apart if even one chain breaks. Centuries ago, the philosopher David Hume wrote that we can never be certain that the patterns of the past will remain the patterns of the future. This is especially true in the 21st century as we are betting more and more of our world on unstable systems. Can we really trust our species to flawlessly govern unimaginably complex systems — systems we don’t always fully understand — that can be brought down by a single screw-up? Modern societies have discounted the cost of that risk because our current reward systems favor optimization over resilience. CEOs try to deliver short-term improvements, not long-term planning. Nobody gets reelected by investing in a rainy-day fund. Business leaders are hired or fired based on quarterly results. Even though the modern quest for optimization has too often made resilience an afterthought, it is not inevitable that we continue down the risky path we’re on. And making our systems more resilient doesn’t require going back to a disconnected, primitive world, either. Instead, our complex, interconnected societies simply demand that we compromise a bit of efficiency in order to allow a little extra cushion (缓冲). If social systems rely on a more diverse digital array of companies, the societies will be less vulnerable (脆弱的). For the broader set of risks facing global society, better regulation is essential to ensure fail-safes, backups, and stress testing — so that one error doesn’t bring down entire systems. The CrowdStrike breakdown is a clear warming that the modern world is fragile by design. So far, we have decided to make ourselves vulnerable. That means we can decide differently too. 31. The author mentions the CrowdStrike mainly to ________. A. highlight its crucial role in cybersecurity B. introduce an information technology collapse C. explain why people are in a connected system D. indicate predictable failures of the modern system 32. What can be inferred about a more globalized system? A. It leads to a highly advanced digitalized network. B. It tends to prioritize adaptability over productivity. C. It enlarges the impact of local errors to a global scale. D. It guarantees immediate economic rewards for participants. 33. As for the future of social systems, which would the author agree with? A. The more disconnected they are, the more resilient they will be. B. Some efficiency should be sacrificed for more flexibility. C. Long-term planning prevents structural breakdowns. D. History can help people predict future patterns. 34. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Hyperconnectivity: The Price of Perfection B. A Wakeful Warning: The Lesson from CrowdStrike C. System Collapse: An Inevitable Technology Disaster D. Resilience vs. Optimization: A Debate for Better Systems 【答案】31. D 32. C 33. B 34. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章以CrowdStrike系统崩溃事件为例，探讨现代社会系统重优化轻弹性的问题及应对之策。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Crucial systems across the world collapsed on Friday, triggered by one mistake in a single company. The power cut of CrowdStrike, a giant in the cybersecurity industry, hit banks, airlines, and health-care systems. It may end up being the worst information technology disaster in history.(周五，全球关键系统崩溃，起因是一家公司的一个失误。网络安全行业巨头 CrowdStrike 的停电影响了银行、航空公司和医疗保健系统。这可能最终成为历史上最严重的信息技术灾难。)”以及第二段“This was not, however, an unforeseeable freak accident, nor will it be the last of its kind. Instead, the devastation was the inevitable outcome of modern social systems that have been designed for hyperconnected optimization, not decentralized resilience.(然而，这并非一场不可预见的怪异事故，也不会是此类事故中的最后一次。相反，这场灾难是现代社会系统的必然结果，这些系统是为超连接优化而设计的，而非分散式弹性设计。)”可知，作者提及CrowdStrike 事件主要是为了表明现代系统存在可预见的故障。故选D项。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Globalization enables large efficiency gains, where a product can be put together from carefully managed links in the global supply chain. But those systems lack resilience. Every link must fit together perfectly; the system falls apart if even one chain breaks.(全球化带来了巨大的效率提升，产品可以由全球供应链中精心管理的环节组装而成。但这些系统缺乏弹性。每个环节都必须完美配合；哪怕只有一个环节出问题，整个系统就会崩溃。)”可知，全球化使得系统缺乏弹性，一个环节出错就可能导致整个系统崩溃，可推断出全球化的系统会将局部错误的影响扩大到全球范围。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Even though the modern quest for optimization has too often made resilience an afterthought, it is not inevitable that we continue down the risky path we’re on. And making our systems more resilient doesn’t require going back to a disconnected, primitive world, either. Instead, our complex, interconnected societies simply demand that we compromise a bit of efficiency in order to allow a little extra cushion.(尽管现代对优化的追求常常将弹性置于次要地位，但我们并非必然要继续走这条危险的道路。而且，使我们的系统更具弹性也不需要回到一个脱节的、原始的世界。相反，我们复杂、相互关联的社会只要求我们牺牲一点效率，以便有更多的缓冲空间。)”可知，作者认为为了使系统更具弹性，即更具灵活性，应该牺牲一些效率。故选B项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章开篇以CrowdStrike系统崩溃这一事件展开，阐述现代社会系统因注重优化而缺乏弹性的问题，进而讨论应对措施，强调这一事件给我们带来的警示。而B选项A Wakeful Warning: The Lesson from CrowdStrike(一个警醒：来自CrowdStrike的教训) 准确概括文章主旨。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In our fast-paced, technology-driven world, the act of eating has transformed from a mindful practice to an often hurried and distracted (分心的) activity. Distracted eating, characterized by consuming food while engaging in other activities such as watching television, scrolling through smartphones, or working at a desk, is becoming increasingly widespread. ____35____ The common presence of digital devices and the constant demands of modern life have contributed to the rise of distracted eating. ____36____ For instance, office workers frequently eat lunch while replying to emails, and students snack during online classes. This behavior is not limited to any specific age group. Distracted eating has several negative effects on physical and mental health. When attention is divided between eating and another activity, it becomes challenging to recognize signals of being full. ____37____ Studies have shown a correlation between distracted eating and an increased intake of calories, contributing to weight gain and obesity. Eating while distracted can impair digestion. The body needs to be in a relaxed state for proper digestion, but multitasking can create a state of mild stress, affecting the digestive process. This can lead to discomfort, bloating, and other gastrointestinal issues. ____38____ This reduces the overall nutritional quality of the diet, impacting long-term health. The practice of mindful eating, which involves paying full attention to the experience of eating, has been linked to improved mental health outcomes. In contrast, distracted eating can contribute to stress and anxiety, as it reduces the enjoyment and satisfaction of meals. ____39____ Creating specific areas for eating, free from digital devices and work related materials helps to establish a clear boundary between mealtime and other activities. Establishing and following regular meal times can reduce the temptation to cat while multitasking. This encourages a more structured approach to eating. Engage in mindful eating by focusing on the sensory experience of food — its taste, texture, and aroma. This can enhance the enjoyment of meals and improve satiety recognition. As awareness of the issue grows, it is hoped that more people will recognize the benefits of mindful eating and make conscious (自觉的) efforts to enjoy their meals fully and healthily. A. Addressing distracted eating requires conscious effort and lifestyle changes. B. Over time, this habit may weaken the brain’s ability to associate food with satisfaction. C. Eating in response to boredom, rather than genuine hunger, is a frequent consequence of such behavior. D. This shift in eating habits has significant consequences for our health and well-being. E. This can lead to overeating, as individuals are less aware of how much they have consumed. F. People are multitasking more than ever, trying to maximize productivity by combining meal times with other activities. G. Distracted eaters may make poorer food choices, choosing convenience foods that are often high in sugar, fat, and salt. 【答案】35. D 36. F 37. E 38. G 39. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了在快节奏的科技时代，分心进食愈发普遍，其因数字设备和现代生活需求而生。分心进食对身心健康有害，会导致暴饮暴食、消化问题，影响食物选择。而正念饮食有益心理健康。可通过改变生活方式来解决分心进食，人们应重视正念饮食以健康用餐。 【35题详解】 根据上文“In our fast-paced, technology-driven world, the act of eating has transformed from a mindful practice to an often hurried and distracted (分心的) activity. Distracted eating, characterized by consuming food while engaging in other activities such as watching television, scrolling through smartphones, or working at a desk, is becoming increasingly widespread. (在我们这个快节奏、科技驱动的世界里，吃的行为已经从一种用心的练习变成了一种经常匆忙和分心的活动。分心进食的特点是一边吃东西一边看电视、刷智能手机或伏案工作，这种现象正变得越来越普遍。)”可知，上文提到在快节奏、技术驱动的世界里，饮食行为从一种有意识的行为变成了匆忙且分心的活动，分心进食越来越普遍。本句承接上文，指出这种饮食行为的变化会带来不良后果，引出下文对分心进食影响的阐述，故D选项“这种饮食习惯的转变对我们的健康和幸福有重大影响。”符合语境，故选D。 【36题详解】 根据上文“The common presence of digital devices and the constant demands of modern life have contributed to the rise of distracted eating. (数码设备的普遍存在和现代生活的不断需求导致了分心进食的增加。)”可知，上文指出数字设备的普遍存在和现代生活的持续需求导致了分心进食的增加，本句进一步解释了为什么会出现分心进食，故F选项“人们比以往任何时候都更加一心多用，试图通过把吃饭时间和其他活动结合起来来最大限度地提高效率。”符合语境，故选F。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Distracted eating has several negative effects on physical and mental health. When attention is divided between eating and another activity, it becomes challenging to recognize signals of being full. (分心进食对身心健康有几个负面影响。当注意力在吃东西和其他活动之间分散时，识别吃饱的信号就变得很困难。)”可知，上文提到当注意力分散在进食和其他活动之间时，很难识别饱腹感信号，本句说明这种难以识别饱腹感信号的结果是过度进食，故E选项“这可能会导致暴饮暴食，因为人们很少意识到自己吃了多少。”符合语境，故选E。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Eating while distracted can impair digestion. The body needs to be in a relaxed state for proper digestion, but multitasking can create a state of mild stress, affecting the digestive process. This can lead to discomfort, bloating, and other gastrointestinal issues. (分心时吃东西会损害消化。身体需要处于放松状态才能正常消化，但多任务处理会造成轻微的压力，影响消化过程。这会导致不适、腹胀和其他胃肠道问题。)”可知，上文提到分心进食会影响消化，导致不适、腹胀和其他胃肠道问题。本句进一步说明了分心进食在食物选择方面的不良影响，与上文一起阐述分心进食的负面效应，故G选项“分心的食客可能会做出更糟糕的食物选择，他们会选择高糖、高脂肪和高盐的方便食品。”符合语境，故选G。 【39题详解】 根据后文“Creating specific areas for eating, free from digital devices and work related materials helps to establish a clear boundary between mealtime and other activities. Establishing and following regular meal times can reduce the temptation to cat while multitasking. This encourages a more structured approach to eating. Engage in mindful eating by focusing on the sensory experience of food — its taste, texture, and aroma. This can enhance the enjoyment of meals and improve satiety recognition. (创建特定的用餐区域，远离电子设备和与工作相关的材料，有助于在用餐时间和其他活动之间建立清晰的界限。建立并遵循规律的用餐时间可以减少在一心多用时吃猫的诱惑。这鼓励了一种更有条理的饮食方式。专注于食物的感官体验——它的味道、质地和香气，从而专心进食。这样可以增加用餐的乐趣，提高饱腹感。)”可知，下文提到创造特定的进食区域，建立和遵循规律的用餐时间等改变生活方式的措施来解决分心进食的问题。故A选项“解决进食分心问题需要有意识的努力和生活方式的改变。”符合语境，故选A。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题纸指定区域作答。 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 The convenience of modern life is truly astonishing. As I write this, my phone is wirelessly playing 18th-century classics, and I can use the same device to instantly get a ride or have food delivered. It’s easy to see why we love such shortcuts—they make life easier, save time, and reduce effort. However, many people also recognize that convenience has its darker sides. To understand why, we need to examine why we are so drawn to convenience in the first place. Evolutionary psychology can provide some answers. The concept of “evolutionary mismatch” suggests that we evolved as hunter-gatherers, but while the world has changed, our brains and bodies have not. This mismatch means that our instincts often don’t match modern life. In the past, resistance—whether to avoid unnecessary effort or conserve energy—was vital during tough times, like searching for food in the rain or escaping from danger. Those who stayed sheltered during hard times, like storms when food was scarce, were more likely to survive and pass on their genes. We have inherited (继承) this instinct to conserve energy from them. Innovation has dramatically transformed our world. Technology and our environment have adapted to suit our instinct to conserve energy. But what do we lose when we prioritize convenience? Choosing the easy path consistently weakens our ability to tackle challenges. From an evolutionary view, some discomfort is as essential to survival as rest. Our ancestors didn’t survive by being lazy; they survived by balancing safety with risk. This very struggle shapes and develops our character. In today’s technological world, we must sometimes go against our natural instincts. As a society, we need to remember—and teach the younger generation—that while convenience may feel good in the moment, our ability to adapt and overcome challenges is not only a key part of our evolutionary heritage but also central to the adventure of life. 40. Why do people love shortcuts? __________________________________________________ 41. What does “evolutionary mismatch” mean? __________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. The evolutionary view shows that some discomfort is less important for our survival compared to rest. __________________________________________________ 43. Use an example to show what you can learn about “convenience” from the passage. (In about 40 words) __________________________________________________ 【答案】40. Because they make life easier, save time, and reduce effort. 41. It means that our instincts often don’t match modern life. 42. The evolutionary view shows that some discomfort is less important for our survival compared to rest. According to the passage, from an evolutionary view, some discomfort is just as crucial to our survival as rest. 43. From the passage, I learn that while convenience, like using a phone to get a ride or order food, makes life easier, over-relying on it may weaken our ability to tackle challenges, as our instinct to conserve energy may lead us to avoid necessary difficulties. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是现代生活的便利性及其带来的影响。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“It’s easy to see why we love such shortcuts—they make life easier, save time, and reduce effort.(很容易理解为什么我们喜欢这些捷径——它们使生活更轻松，节省时间，减少精力消耗)”可知，人们喜欢捷径是因为它们使生活更轻松，节省时间，减少工作量。故答案为Because they make life easier, save time, and reduce effort. 【41题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第二段“This mismatch means that our instincts often don’t match modern life.(这种不匹配意味着我们的本能常常与现代生活不匹配)”可知，evolutionary mismatch的意思是“我们的本能常常与现代生活不匹配”。故答案为It means that our instincts often don’t match modern life. 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“From an evolutionary view, some discomfort is as essential to survival as rest.(从进化的角度来看，一些不适和休息一样对生存至关重要)”可知，从进化的角度来看，一些不适和休息一样对生存至关重要，因此错误的部分是“less important”。故答案为The evolutionary view shows that some discomfort is less important for our survival compared to rest. According to the passage, from an evolutionary view, some discomfort is just as crucial to our survival as rest. 【43题详解】 考查推理判断。从这篇文章中，我了解到，虽然便利，比如用手机打车或点餐，使生活更容易，但过度依赖它可能会削弱我们应对挑战的能力，因为我们节约能量的本能可能会导致我们避免必要的困难。故答案为From the passage, I learn that while convenience, like using a phone to get a ride or order food, makes life easier, over-relying on it may weaken our ability to tackle challenges, as our instinct to conserve energy may lead us to avoid necessary difficulties. 第二节（20分） 44. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你们年级将于6月18日开展以“传承”为主题的毕业季活动。请你用英文给你们班的交换生Jim写一封邮件，邀请他参加，内容包括： 1. 活动内容； 2. 其他相关事项。 注意: 1. 词数100 左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, Greetings!
