This event marked the peak of six-year fencing journey and her first national-level encounter with elite fencers. Hsiao’s fencing adventure began at a summer camp before her eighth grade year. Though she initially hated it due to long, sweaty hours in fencing equipment and competing against more experienced opponents, her time at camp kindled her interest in the sport within her. In high school, Hsiao found a welcoming community of fencers and coaches. She developed and refined her skills with the foil, the smallest and lightest fencing weapon. However, during her senior year, a devastating ACL tear (前交叉韧带断裂) put her career at risk. “I doubted if I’d return to fencing,” she said. After surgery and nine months of painful physical therapy, two to three times a week, Hsiao began fencing again. Her defensive fencing style remained mostly the same, though she had to think more about her back leg position. On the mental side, Hsiao emphasized positive thinking and mental preparation. She believed that negative thoughts could impact performance and learned to stop over-thinking during competition. Hsiao also revealed the life lessons fencing has taught her, saying, “Persistence is the key and losing is one of the best ways to learn.” Her family has been supporting her through her fencing journey. When she was qualified for the 2025 Fencing Junior Olympics, she immediately shared the news with her mother. At the Junior Olympics, she even met her favourite fencers, Lee Kiefer and Maia Chamberlain. Jackie’s next goal is to continue competing at the national level and earn a rating from the United States Fencing Association. Recently, she was elected president of the University of Rochester Fencing Club. In April, she will lead her team to the United States Association of Collegiate Fencing Clubs Championship. 4. What made Jackie Hsiao first become interested in fencing? A. Her mother’s strong encouragement. B. Meeting famous fencers at the Junior Olympics. C. Her high school fencing community and coaches. D. A summer camp experience before eighth grade. 5. How did Jackie’s fencing style change after her recovery? A. She became more aggressive in attack. B. She completely abandoned her defensive style. C. She paid more attention to her back leg position. D. She reduced her training frequency to once a week. 6. What important life lessons did Jackie Hsiao learn from fencing? A. Little strokes fell great oaks. B. Look before you leap. C. Strike while the iron is hot. D. Many hands make light work. 7. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To highlight the role of family support in athletic success. B. To analyse the training methods of extraordinary fencers. C. To promote the 2025 Fencing Junior Olympics in Charlotte. D. To present an elite fencer’s journey from adversity to achievement. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了大二学生Jackie Hsiao的击剑成长历程，讲述她从结缘击剑、遭遇重伤、艰难康复到登上国家级赛事并确立新目标的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Hsiao’s fencing adventure began at a summer camp before her eighth grade year. Though she initially hated it due to long, sweaty hours in fencing equipment and competing against more experienced opponents, her time at camp kindled her interest in the sport within her. (Hsiao的击剑之旅始于八年级前的一个夏令营。尽管她最初因为长时间穿着击剑装备出汗以及与更有经验的对手比赛而讨厌它，但她在夏令营的时光在她内心点燃了对这项运动的兴趣。)”可知，她最初对击剑产生兴趣是因为八年级前的夏令营经历。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Her defensive fencing style remained mostly the same, though she had to think more about her back leg position. (她的防守型击剑风格基本保持不变，不过她不得不更多地考虑她后腿的位置。)”可知，康复后她的防守风格基本不变，但更加注意后腿位置。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Hsiao also revealed the life lessons fencing has taught her, saying, “Persistence is the key and losing is one of the best ways to learn.”(Hsiao还透露了击剑教给她的宝贵人生经验，她说：“坚持是关键，而失败是最好的学习方式之一。”)”可知，Hsiao学到的人生经验是坚持和从失败中学习。Little strokes fell great oaks意为“水滴石穿”，强调坚持不懈，符合文意。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段“This event marked the peak of six-year fencing journey and her first national-level encounter with elite fencers. (这次赛事标志着她六年击剑之旅的巅峰，也是她首次在全国级别的赛事中与精英击剑选手交锋。)”、第三段“However, during her senior year, a devastating ACL tear (前交叉韧带断裂) put her career at risk. (然而，在她高三的时候，一次毁灭性的前交叉韧带撕裂使她的职业生涯面临风险)”以及最后一段“Jackie’s next goal is to continue competing at the national level and earn a rating from the United States Fencing Association. (Jackie的下一个目标是继续参加全国级别的比赛，并获得美国击剑协会的评级。)”可知，文章从Jackie Hsiao的起步、受伤、康复、心理成长到取得成就，并介绍她未来目标，文章的主要目的是展示一位精英击剑运动员从逆境到成功的历程。 C (原题) Today, with the help of AI tools, anyone can instantly generate impressive architectural images. Yet this raises a serious question for architects: if technology lowers the technical barrier, what remains the true value of design? The answer, many experts believe, lies in deeper philosophical (哲学的) thinking. Architecture is not only about structure. It also reflects how humans understand life. This understanding begins with the individual — how a building can shape people’s emotions. It then extends to the community — whether a neighborhood design brings people together or drives them apart. Ultimately, it touches upon time itself — how to balance the preservation of historical identity with the need for change. AI can copy thousands of design styles, but it cannot make value judgments. It doesn’t know why some designs are good in a moral or human sense. For instance, a library in Colombia places its reading rooms, not offices, in the brightest and highest spaces — a design choice symbolizing equality and care. As scholar Nayef Al-Rodhan points out, “Good design should possess valuable qualities, including respect, inclusion, and safety, which cannot be left to AI to handle.” In the future, the best architects may not be those who master AI tools, but those who comprehend philosophical reflection. Saudi Arabia’s project “The Line” is a case in point. Designed to let residents live in harmony with nature, the city spans 170 kilometres in length yet is only 200 metres wide, with no cars, no streets, and a transit system that reaches any destination within five minutes. Whether The Line succeeds or fails, it reminds us that although technology can help us design the city, it cannot judge for us what kind of life is worth living, and AI can’t fathom the deepest beliefs we have for our lives. Freed from repetitive drafting work, architects in the age of AI must think more deeply about humanity, community, and sustainability. The great designs of the future will emerge where technology meets philosophy, not where one replaces the other. 8. What is the main function of paragraph 2 in the passage? A. To introduce examples of architecture. B. To compare architecture with philosophy. C. To present architecture from a philosophical view. D. To explain how AI will change future construction. 9. What can we learn from the example of the library in Colombia? A. Great design is human-centered. B. AI can understand public buildings. C. Symbolic meaning should be considered. D. Equality is the core value of modern design. 10. What does the underlined word “fathom” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Decline. B. Understand. C. Recover. D. Measure. 11. According to the passage, what should architects do in the age of AI? A. Shift from drawing to building. B. Employ AI as a powerful tool. C. Prioritize philosophy over function. D. Bring soul and meaning to designs. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了AI 能快速生成建筑效果图，但无法做价值判断。建筑师应依托哲学思考，为设计注入人文内核，科技与哲学结合才能成就优秀作品。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Architecture is not only about structure. It also reflects how humans understand life. This understanding begins with the individual — how a building can shape people’s emotions. It then extends to the community — whether a neighborhood design brings people together or drives them apart. Ultimately, it touches upon time itself — how to balance the preservation of historical identity with the need for change.(建筑不仅关乎结构，也反映了人类对生活的理解。这种理解始于个体——一座建筑如何塑造人们的情感；进而延伸至社区——街区的设计是将人们凝聚在一起，还是使他们彼此疏远；最终，它触及时间本身——如何在保护历史身份与推动变革之间取得平衡)”可知，第二段的主要功能是从哲学角度介绍建筑。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“For instance, a library in Colombia places its reading rooms, not offices, in the brightest and highest spaces — a design choice symbolizing equality and care.(例如，哥伦比亚的一家图书馆将阅览室而非办公室设在最明亮、最高的位置——这一设计选择象征着平等与关怀)”可知，哥伦比亚图书馆出色的设计以人为本。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“although technology can help us design the city, it cannot judge for us what kind of life is worth living(尽管科技可以帮助我们设计城市，却无法替我们判断什么样的生活值得过)”可知，尽管科技可以帮助我们设计城市，却无法替我们判断什么样的生活值得过，AI 无法理解人类对于生活最深层的信念，故划线词意思是“理解”。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Freed from repetitive drafting work, architects in the age of AI must think more deeply about humanity, community, and sustainability.(在人工智能时代，建筑师摆脱了重复的绘图工作，必须更深入地思考人类、社区与可持续性)”可知，建筑师在人工智能时代应该为设计注入灵魂与意义。 D (原题) Food markets have experienced considerable instability in recent years. Global warming is causing droughts, soil desertification and extreme weather. Yet the fundamentals of food production were last transformed in the mid-20th century. Fortunately, global investments in agricultural innovation are on the rise. Funds for agritech companies reached $16.2 billion in 2025. Of this, $9 billion went to new research into boosting farm yields, up from $2.5 billion in 2016. The focus of sustainability efforts is switching from preventing climate change to dealing with it and finding solutions. Scientists are developing alternatives to the pesticides and fertilisers that have dominated modern agriculture since the Green Revolution of the mid-20th century, based on a better understanding of plants themselves. B-COS, a team from Ghent University, is genetically engineering bacteria to produce a special kind of molecule (分子). Tomato and potato plants sprayed (喷洒) with the molecules are tricked into believing they are under attack and activate their natural defenses against infection. B-COS is applying this approach to two new products: one to improve growth and drought tolerance, and another which it claims can reduce disease incidence by 40-50%. Naturally, there are also companies exploring the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence. The general idea of this combination is called “precision agriculture”, which is to help farmers connect everything from the environmental conditions of individual fields to the genetic sequences (序列) of the bacteria present in the soil, and those of the plants themselves. This is then run through AI models that make predictions about the best conditions and treatments to achieve the highest yields or produce the highest-quality crops. “It is going to show us what’s going on in each square metre of the fields, such as temperature, water and carbon absorption,” says Mr. Anders, a managing partner of an agritech company. There is still a long way to go. In 2024, agricultural tech companies attracted just 1.3% of global early-stage venture-capital funding despite agriculture accounting for about 4% of global GDP. But if high-tech innovations still make their way, and the funds keep flowing, a new age of precision agriculture is coming. 12. What is highlighted concerning agricultural investment in paragraph 1? A. Its instability. B. Its source. C. Its influence. D. Its shift. 13. Why did the B-COS team spray the molecules on tomato and potato plants? A. To evaluate disease tolerance. B. To eliminate harmful substances. C. To boost natural resistance. D. To protect healthy plants. 14. What does “precision agriculture” contribute to? A. Accurate market forecasting. B. Efficient harvesting techniques. C. Sufficient genetic information. D. Reasonable agricultural planning. 15. What is the author’s purpose in presenting the data in the last paragraph? A. To call for greater investment. B. To warn of potential risks. C. To cast light on the achievements. D. To give credit to the companies. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了全球农业创新投资不断增加，科学家正利用基因工程细菌和人工智能等新技术推动精准农业发展，以应对气候变化和粮食生产挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The focus of sustainability efforts is switching from preventing climate change to dealing with it and finding solutions.(可持续发展努力的重点正在从防止气候变化转向应对气候变化并寻找解决方案。)”可知，农业投资的重点正在发生转变，从防止气候变化转向应对和解决气候变化问题。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Tomato and potato plants sprayed with the molecules are tricked into believing they are under attack and activate their natural defenses against infection.(喷洒了这种分子的番茄和马铃薯植株会被欺骗，以为自己正受到攻击，从而激活其抵御感染的自然防御。)”可知，B-COS团队给番茄和马铃薯植株喷洒分子是为了激活植物的自然防御，增强其自然抵抗力。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This is then run through AI models that make predictions about the best conditions and treatments to achieve the highest yields or produce the highest-quality crops.(然后，这些数据会通过人工智能模型运行，预测实现最高产量或生产最高质量作物的最佳条件和处理方法。)”可知，精准农业有助于做出合理的农业规划。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In 2024, agricultural tech companies attracted just 1.3% of global early-stage venture-capital funding despite agriculture accounting for about 4% of global GDP. But if high-tech innovations still make their way, and the funds keep flowing, a new age of precision agriculture is coming.(2024年，农业科技公司仅吸引了全球早期风险投资的1.3%，尽管农业约占全球GDP的4%。但如果高科技创新继续推进，资金持续流入，精准农业的新时代即将到来。)”可知，作者呈现这些数据是为了说明农业科技投资仍然不足，呼吁更多投资。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分12.5分）（改编） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Social media is widely used in daily life, but it can also cause problems if people are not careful.

B (原题) Jackie Hsiao, a sophomore (大二学生) at the University of Rochester Fencing Club (击剑俱乐部), competed in the 2025 Fencing Junior Olympics in Charlotte, NC. This event marked the peak of six-year fencing journey and her first national-level encounter with elite fencers. Hsiao’s fencing adventure began at a summer camp before her eighth grade year. Though she initially hated it due to long, sweaty hours in fencing equipment and competing against more experienced opponents, her time at camp kindled her interest in the sport within her. In high school, Hsiao found a welcoming community of fencers and coaches. She developed and refined her skills with the foil, the smallest and lightest fencing weapon. However, during her senior year, a devastating ACL tear (前交叉韧带断裂) put her career at risk. “I doubted if I’d return to fencing,” she said. After surgery and nine months of painful physical therapy, two to three times a week, Hsiao began fencing again. Her defensive fencing style remained mostly the same, though she had to think more about her back leg position. On the mental side, Hsiao emphasized positive thinking and mental preparation. She believed that negative thoughts could impact performance and learned to stop over-thinking during competition. Hsiao also revealed the life lessons fencing has taught her, saying, “Persistence is the key and losing is one of the best ways to learn.” Her family has been supporting her through her fencing journey. When she was qualified for the 2025 Fencing Junior Olympics, she immediately shared the news with her mother. At the Junior Olympics, she even met her favourite fencers, Lee Kiefer and Maia Chamberlain. Jackie’s next goal is to continue competing at the national level and earn a rating from the United States Fencing Association. Recently, she was elected president of the University of Rochester Fencing Club. In April, she will lead her team to the United States Association of Collegiate Fencing Clubs Championship. 4. What made Jackie Hsiao first become interested in fencing? A. Her mother’s strong encouragement. B. Meeting famous fencers at the Junior Olympics. C. Her high school fencing community and coaches. D. A summer camp experience before eighth grade. 5. How did Jackie’s fencing style change after her recovery? A. She became more aggressive in attack. B. She completely abandoned her defensive style. C. She paid more attention to her back leg position. D. She reduced her training frequency to once a week. 6. What important life lessons did Jackie Hsiao learn from fencing? A. Little strokes fell great oaks. B. Look before you leap. C. Strike while the iron is hot. D. Many hands make light work. 7. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To highlight the role of family support in athletic success. B. To analyse the training methods of extraordinary fencers. C. To promote the 2025 Fencing Junior Olympics in Charlotte. D. To present an elite fencer’s journey from adversity to achievement. C (原题) Today, with the help of AI tools, anyone can instantly generate impressive architectural images. Yet this raises a serious question for architects: if technology lowers the technical barrier, what remains the true value of design? The answer, many experts believe, lies in deeper philosophical (哲学的) thinking. Architecture is not only about structure. It also reflects how humans understand life. This understanding begins with the individual — how a building can shape people’s emotions. It then extends to the community — whether a neighborhood design brings people together or drives them apart. Ultimately, it touches upon time itself — how to balance the preservation of historical identity with the need for change. AI can copy thousands of design styles, but it cannot make value judgments. It doesn’t know why some designs are good in a moral or human sense. For instance, a library in Colombia places its reading rooms, not offices, in the brightest and highest spaces — a design choice symbolizing equality and care. As scholar Nayef Al-Rodhan points out, “Good design should possess valuable qualities, including respect, inclusion, and safety, which cannot be left to AI to handle.” In the future, the best architects may not be those who master AI tools, but those who comprehend philosophical reflection. Saudi Arabia’s project “The Line” is a case in point. Designed to let residents live in harmony with nature, the city spans 170 kilometres in length yet is only 200 metres wide, with no cars, no streets, and a transit system that reaches any destination within five minutes. Whether The Line succeeds or fails, it reminds us that although technology can help us design the city, it cannot judge for us what kind of life is worth living, and AI can’t fathom the deepest beliefs we have for our lives. Freed from repetitive drafting work, architects in the age of AI must think more deeply about humanity, community, and sustainability. The great designs of the future will emerge where technology meets philosophy, not where one replaces the other. 8. What is the main function of paragraph 2 in the passage? A. To introduce examples of architecture. B. To compare architecture with philosophy. C. To present architecture from a philosophical view. D. To explain how AI will change future construction. 9. What can we learn from the example of the library in Colombia? A. Great design is human-centered. B. AI can understand public buildings. C. Symbolic meaning should be considered. D. Equality is the core value of modern design. 10. What does the underlined word “fathom” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Decline. B. Understand. C. Recover. D. Measure. 11. According to the passage, what should architects do in the age of AI? A. Shift from drawing to building. B. Employ AI as a powerful tool. C. Prioritize philosophy over function. D. Bring soul and meaning to designs. D (原题) Food markets have experienced considerable instability in recent years. Global warming is causing droughts, soil desertification and extreme weather. Yet the fundamentals of food production were last transformed in the mid-20th century. Fortunately, global investments in agricultural innovation are on the rise. Funds for agritech companies reached $16.2 billion in 2025. Of this, $9 billion went to new research into boosting farm yields, up from $2.5 billion in 2016. The focus of sustainability efforts is switching from preventing climate change to dealing with it and finding solutions. Scientists are developing alternatives to the pesticides and fertilisers that have dominated modern agriculture since the Green Revolution of the mid-20th century, based on a better understanding of plants themselves. B-COS, a team from Ghent University, is genetically engineering bacteria to produce a special kind of molecule (分子). Tomato and potato plants sprayed (喷洒) with the molecules are tricked into believing they are under attack and activate their natural defenses against infection. B-COS is applying this approach to two new products: one to improve growth and drought tolerance, and another which it claims can reduce disease incidence by 40-50%. Naturally, there are also companies exploring the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence. The general idea of this combination is called “precision agriculture”, which is to help farmers connect everything from the environmental conditions of individual fields to the genetic sequences (序列) of the bacteria present in the soil, and those of the plants themselves. This is then run through AI models that make predictions about the best conditions and treatments to achieve the highest yields or produce the highest-quality crops. “It is going to show us what’s going on in each square metre of the fields, such as temperature, water and carbon absorption,” says Mr. Anders, a managing partner of an agritech company. There is still a long way to go. In 2024, agricultural tech companies attracted just 1.3% of global early-stage venture-capital funding despite agriculture accounting for about 4% of global GDP. But if high-tech innovations still make their way, and the funds keep flowing, a new age of precision agriculture is coming. 12. What is highlighted concerning agricultural investment in paragraph 1? A. Its instability. B. Its source. C. Its influence. D. Its shift. 13. Why did the B-COS team spray the molecules on tomato and potato plants? A. To evaluate disease tolerance. B. To eliminate harmful substances. C. To boost natural resistance. D. To protect healthy plants. 14. What does “precision agriculture” contribute to? A. Accurate market forecasting. B. Efficient harvesting techniques. C. Sufficient genetic information. D. Reasonable agricultural planning. 15. What is the author’s purpose in presenting the data in the last paragraph? A. To call for greater investment. B. To warn of potential risks. C. To cast light on the achievements. D. To give credit to the companies. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分12.5分）（改编） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Social media is widely used in daily life, but it can also cause problems if people are not careful.
