For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Pigeon Patrol Takes Flight     They’ve been driven from Trafalgar Square for being a creature that causes trouble; they’ve been derided as rats with wings for a long time; they’ve even been criticized as a risk (21)______ to public health. However, pigeons could play a small part now in helping Londoners overcome one of the capital’s biggest health problems — its serious air pollution (22)______ (blame) for thousands of deaths a year.     In mid-March, a flock of racing pigeons was set loose from a rooftop in Brick Lane, with one equipped with a pollution sensor and (23) ______ fitted with a GPS tracker. (24)______ the sensor did record the nitrogen dioxide emitted by the city’s cars, buses and trucks and can send the data to anyone who asks for (25) ______ reading, the real purpose of using the pigeons is to raise awareness. “We’re making the invisible visible,” said Pierre Duquesnoy, the creative director behind the project and winner of a London Design Festival award. “Most of the time when people talk about pollution, we associate it with other places. But there are some days in the year (26)______ pollution was more serious in London. That’s the reality.”     Duquesnoy said he was inspired by the use of pigeons in the First and Second World Wars (27)______ (deliver) vital information and save lives. Then he thought it would also be practical for the feathered creature to take mobile air quality readings and beat London’s crowded roads. “We are glad to reverse (28) ______ used to be seen as a flying rat into something quite positive,” said Duquesnoy.     This was the first time that urban wild animals (29)______ (use) to carry sensors to give us a picture of the air pollution over our heads. The release of the pigeons for three days, called the “Pigeon Air Patrol,” (30)______ (come) as moderate to high pollution affected much of the city. Section B (1’*10=10’) Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. bond B. citing C. dismissing D. keenly E. mainstream F. misinformation G. mixed H. overblown I. panic J. typically K. unchecked Teens Are Pushing Back on AI     Forget cheating on homework and chatbot friends. Some kids are getting in on a new AI trend: thinking it sucks.     In the four years since chatbots went (31) ______ and their marketing campaigns went into overdrive, young people have grown increasingly skeptical of the hype (大肆宣传) around LLMs (large language models).     A polling (投票) on youthful AI attitudes shows a great deal of contradiction. Adoption rates are high, with a majority of America’s teens reporting they use chatbots, but enthusiasm is (32) ______. The recent Pew Research report found that while many teens think AI will be good for them personally, over a fourth of teens believe AI will have a negative impact on society in the next 20 years, (33) ______ job loss, the decline of critical thinking skills, and environmental impacts as concerns. According to market research firm YPulse, 37 percent of teens aged 13 to 17 roll their eyes at AI content like music and videos, and more than half worry about (34) ______ and deepfakes.     Young people (35) ______ adopt new consumer technology eagerly, but Melanie Green, a communications professor, says AI is different. This time, the moral (36) ______ isn’t coming from older generations — instead, kids are the ones turned off by the way AI is being pushed on them by adults and tech corporations. They’re also, Green says, “(37) ______ aware that whatever disruption happens, their generation is going to be taking the worst of it.”     Hence, the eye-rolls. The skepticism is surprisingly consistent across households. On Bluesky, a social media platform, parents (38) ______ over their kids’ distrust of AI, with many claiming that their children come home saying “that’s AI” to mean “that’s nonsense.”     Some parents may worry that their children will be “left behind” if they don’t embrace AI now, but that’s likely (39) ______, Dr. Avila, associate professor of psychology says. “There are plenty of technologies that we’ve learned to use while in the workforce, and our children will learn and adapt to new technologies as well. Overall, (40) ______ AI is not a bad thing. It’s actually a really healthy response of the adolescent brain to anything they are unsure about.” She encourages parents to have open, non-judgmental conversations with their children about what they’re feeling and what their concerns are. III. Reading Comprehension (45 分) Section A  (1’*15=15’) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.     Nearly everyone has noticed a strange travel quirk: after a round trip, the journey back always feels surprisingly __41__. Scientists have long studied this universal mental trick, and several solid explanations can clarify why our brains perceive travel time so differently.     One leading explanation centers on psychological expectation. For vacationers especially, the eager anticipation of finally __42__ a long-awaited destination stretches the perceived length of the outbound trip. __43__, when the ride drags on longer than mentally predicted, travelers experience subtle letdown. They unconsciously __44__ their inner anticipation of travel duration. This subtle mental adjustment makes the homeward journey feel far more brief and subjectively more __45__.     A second theory focuses on perceptual adjustment. When we encounter unfamiliar scenery, our brains will gradually grow __46__ to new surroundings over time. Faced with novel visual stimuli, the brain slows subjective time perception to handle intensive information processing. This cognitive mechanism __47__ for the common experience that time seems to accelerate with age. Elderly people rarely encounter brand-new scenarios, so their brains seldom struggle to __48__ unfamiliar cognitive challenges.     This phenomenon is formally named the “return-trip effect.” On the way to a new place, your brain actively registers countless roadside landmarks. On your return journey along the identical route, you can effortlessly __49__ these familiar markers. With less mental confusion and far better spatial awareness, your subjective sense of time speeds up dramatically. This mental shortcut is closely __50__ to the automation of learned skills. For example, beginner cyclists must constantly __51__ their speed and balance to avoid falling. After consistent practice, the mind becomes __52__ to wander without deliberate focus.     The return-trip effect is most obvious when travelers are __53__ on how tiring unfamiliar outbound journeys feel. This explains why the effect is strongly __54__ with holiday travel instead of daily commutes. Regular commuters are extremely accustomed to routine roadside scenery, enabling them to precisely __55__ the exact duration of both outbound and return trips. 41. A. tougher B. shorter C. fainter D. slower 42. A. departing B. attaining C. pursuing D. reaching 43. A. Instead B. Therefore C. However D. Otherwise 44. A. revised B. restored C. reserved D. recalled 45. A. complicated B. steady C. delightful D. flexible 46. A. resistant B. unfamiliar C. exposed D. accustomed 47. A. stands B. accounts C. calls D. substitutes 48. A. get through B. make out C. bring forth D. take on 49. A. observe B. overlook C. identify D. evaluate 50. A. dedicated B. related C. opposed D. committed 51. A. monitor B. sustain C. display D. sacrifice 52. A. forced B. prepared C. entitled D. free 53. A. reflecting B. insisting C. deciding D. touching 54. A. charged B. contrasted C. marked D. burdened 55. A. cover B. measure C. compute D. extend Section B  (2’*11=22’) Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)     Lin worked in the municipal archive (市档案馆), a neglected building on the far edge of the city. Inside, the air was always cold. Rows of old wooden boxes and piles of faded papers with old postmarks recorded stories from decades ago.     For years, Lin was trapped in a cycle of delay and low spirits. When young, he held high hopes. He wanted to create moving sculptures to touch people’s hearts. But after years in a stressful corporate job where he always underperformed, he abandoned his dream. He saw himself as a failure who had lost all self-control. To avoid further disappointment, he built a wall in his heart and hid behind laziness. He believed remaining emotionally detached could protect him from pain. He did his routine work mechanically and avoided extra tasks whenever possible.     Everything changed on a grey October afternoon, as heavy rain beat against the large windows. Looking up from his cold tea, Lin spotted a bright colour through the misty glass. A little girl stood in the rain, wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a matching yellow umbrella. She knocked softly at the heavy door.     She said she did not come to shelter from rain. Her mother told her the archive kept people’s old belongings. She was searching for a big wooden box her grandfather had left here before his sudden death. Normally Lin would refuse such troublesome requests. Finding one box among thousands of unlisted items was hard. Yet faced with her hopeful eyes, he could not turn her down. The girl offered to help with the search.     After that, she came every rainy afternoon. Walking along dark passages and opening dusty boxes, they found delicate hand carvings, old brass compasses and pocket watches. Lin learned the girl’s grandfather was a wood carver, just like he once had been. This unexpected friendship slowly changed his mind. His old belief that human efforts were in vain faded. The heavy regret over his wasted years turned into quiet peace.     Four weeks later, they found the box. Inside was no treasure, only a wooden bird with hidden gadgets. Turn its key, and its wooden wings would move. A note read: “To my granddaughter, always remember to fly, even on rainy days.”     After the girl left, Lin’s long sadness was gone. He got his carving tools, unused for over ten years, picked up pine wood and began carving. Warmth returned to his heart. 56. Why did Lin choose to stay emotionally distant?     A. He believed it could protect him from disappointment.     B. He was tired of dealing with visitors’ various requests.     C. He intended to devote all his spare time to sculpture.     D. He thought archive work required no emotional involvement. 57. What was the girl’s purpose of visiting the archive on that rainy afternoon?     A. To shelter herself from the heavy rain outside.     B. To trace back a wooden chest left by her late grandfather.     C. To hand over her grandfather’s hidden notebook to Lin.     D. To learn wood carving skills from an experienced craftsman. 58. What can we infer from Lin and the girl’s experience of searching for the wooden box?     A. Lin regained hope and healed his inner pain during the process.     B. Precious treasures were finally discovered in the old wooden box.     C. The girl’s grandfather intended to pass carving skills to Lin.     D. Rainy afternoons became their favorite time to explore the archive. 59. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?     A. A Dream Awakened in the Archive     B. Forgotten Treasures of a Family     C. Rainy Days in the Neglected Archive     D. A Grandfather’s Mysterious Gift (B) An eye for the future     In 1964, Isaac Asimov wrote a piece for The New York Times, predicting what the world would look like in 2014. Now, in 2026, let’s revisit a few of the most interesting excerpts from his essay and see where they stand in today’s society. Seeing the person you call Cars with brains Trip to Mars “The screen can be used not only to see the people you call but also for studying documents and photographs and reading passages from books.” This is one of the few predictions of Asimov got completely right. In 1964, mobile phones did exist. They were often installed in cars due to their size and substantial need for power. Fast forward to today, video calls are now commonplace, and modern smartphones also allow us to read books or view photos. “Vehicles with ‘Robot-brains’... can be set for particular destinations... that will then proceed there without interference ( 干扰 ) by the slow reflexes ( 本能反应 ) of a human driver.” In 2014, plans were being made for self-driving cars, many still in the pilot phase. Jump forward a few years and companies like Tesla are leading the way in driver-less cars. As of March 2026, a total of 941 vehicles in Guangzhou had joined road tests and demonstration operations. “By 2014, only unmanned ships will have landed on Mars, though a manned expedition will be in the works.” This was another accurate prediction by Asimov, as several rovers ( 探测器 ) have since successfully reached Mars. Now, scientists around the world are working to bring Martian samples back to Earth, and China is at the forefront of the space race, with the country’s Tianwen-3 mission aiming to carry out two launches around 2028. They have also made plans for a crewed Mars exploration by the year 2050.     Overall, it’s safe to say that Asimov’s predictions were pretty impressive. Let’s wait another 10 years to see if any more of his ideas become reality! MORE OF ASIMOV’S INTERESTING IDEAS   Jets of compressed (压缩的) air will also lift land vehicles off the highways, which will minimize paving problems.   Mankind will suffer badly from the disease of boredom, a disease spreading more widely each year and growing in intensity. 60. What aspect of communication did Asimov accurately predict?     A. The popularization of mobile phones.     B. The decline of traditional telephones.     C. Free global calls without network limits.     D. Video calls and information sharing via devices. 61. What can we learn about self-driving cars in 2014 from the text?     A. Most were in the testing stage.     B. They were widely used in most cities.     C. Tesla was already leading the field.     D. China had over 900 such vehicles. 62. What did Asimov predict about Mars by 2014?     A. Manned explorations would have landed on Mars.     B. Unmanned ships would have reached Mars.     C. Martian samples would be brought back to Earth.     D. Regular flights to Mars would just be starting. (C) Does AI need a psychologist?     The question sounds absurdly relevant. Today, a fascinating Wall Street Journal essay by Cameron Berg asks a timely and serious version of that question. He argues that as AI becomes increasingly complex, we might need to start studying them less like tech and more like minds. So, let’s throw another log on the AI conflagration of promise and pitfalls.     I think this argument is provocative and worth wide discussion. And the scientific literature tells an interesting story. We’re beginning to see internal “patterns” in LLMs (large language models) we might describe as a sort of emotion or motivation. In one experiment that Berg discusses, researchers changed the internal activity associated with desperation in the LLM they were studying, Claude. They saw significant and curious increases in behaviors like cheating. What I find particularly interesting is that the language produced by the LLM remained outwardly calm. Something had changed inside the system that wasn’t obvious from what it was saying. Certainly an interesting question for today’s Dr. Freud.     Still, Berg makes a key point. AI is becoming increasingly difficult to understand simply by looking at outputs. He argues that we need a new science—artificial psychology—capable of examining what’s happening inside these artificial networks and understanding how those internal states influence behavior. He states it succinctly.     But as I thought about his editorial, I found myself considering the other mind in the room. Ours.     I’ve written a good deal about how AI is beginning to separate the product of thought from the process of thinking. Traditionally, an essay or analysis served as some evidence that cognition occurred. We couldn’t see the thinking, so we inferred it from what a person produced. I believe that generative AI breaks that relationship.     And here’s where Berg’s argument becomes even more interesting, at least to me. With AI, sophisticated language may conceal an internal process we don’t understand. With humans using AI, sophisticated language may conceal an internal process that never happened. And in this context, psychology may suddenly have two very different problems.     The first is understanding the increasingly strange computational systems we’re building. That’s Berg’s central thesis. The second, hidden in our mundane (世俗的) humanity, is understanding what interacting with those systems is doing to human cognition.     These two problems seem to exist in a sort of cognitive balance, shifting as our needs demand.     So, maybe that’s where the psychological question becomes most important. We are spending enormous resources trying to understand what’s happening inside artificial intelligence, as we should. But at the same time, billions of humans are beginning an unprecedented cognitive experiment (relationship) with machines that supplement, challenge, and replace the very thinking that makes us human.     So, does AI need a psychologist? Perhaps, but the psychologist might want to keep an eye on us too. 63. The underlined word “conflagration” is closest in meaning to ______.     A. peaceful and widely accepted agreement     B. great technical improvement in AI systems     C. an intense and spreading controversy or debate     D. an emerging and underexplored research project 64. What does the author mention about the experiment on Claude?     A. Claude showed obvious emotional shifts in its outward language.     B. Changing internal activity in the LLM can alter its external behavior.     C. Researchers confirmed LLMs have exactly the same desperation feeling as humans.     D. Cheating is the most common behavior for all large language models. 65. What can be inferred from paragraphs 6–8 about human users of AI?     A. Their fluent output may hide the fact that deep thinking never happened.     B. Their cognition level will quickly improve with frequent AI use.     C. They usually spend more time editing AI output than writing themselves.     D. They always produce higher quality content than people writing without AI. 66. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?     A. AI has surpassed human intelligence, so psychologists should focus only on machines.     B. Large language models like Claude are proven to have real emotions and need therapy.     C. Berg’s essay claims AI should be regulated by governments before further study.     D. We need psychology for AI, but we also need to weigh its impact on human cognition. Section C (2’*4=8’) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. Known as “desert ginseng”, this herb is a highly valued Chinese medicine. B. Though young, the plant bravely faces the strong sunlight and blowing sand. C. The symbiosis (共生) between the saxaul and the cistanche creates a connected system. D. Slowly, the strategy began to work. What was once barren land has turned into a green oasis. E. It’s a win-win situation where environmental protection and economic development go hand in hand. F. Known as a desert guardian, a fully grown saxaul tree can hold together a 10-square-meter patch of sandy land. Always better together     Riding the wind with its five tiny “wings”, a saxaul (梭梭树) seed lands on the sand. A quick rain shower has just brought some water onto the soil. Only two to three hours later, the seed – one of the fastest-growing in the world – has shot up. It finds itself on the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. (67) ______ Its roots go deep underground to find water and nutrients, which are then transported to other parts of the plant. As days go by, the seed grows into a tree, with strong branches that help stop the sand from moving.     The saxaul tree’s efforts also support another plant, the cistanche herb (肉苁蓉). (68) ______ It drives its roots into the saxaul tree’s vascular system, sharing in the water and nutrients.     Then one spring day, the sandy ground suddenly cracks open. The cistanche grows up into the sunlight, not far from the saxaul. The herb’s purple flowers give off a sweet smell, and a few bees come to collect nectar. As they drink the nectar, the tiny hairs on their bodies catch the pollen (花粉). As the bees move on to the next flower, they help spread plant life across the desert.     (69) ______ People plant saxaul forests to stop deserts from spreading, and grow cistanche herbs to sell to hospitals and healthcare companies. In addition, every April, growers rent bees from beekeepers to increase pollination (授粉) rates and produce honey. (70) ______.     This is part of China’s “edge-locking” project around the Taklimakan Desert. Thanks to this systematic plan, China’s biggest (and the world’s second–largest) moving desert is now being brought under control. IV. Summary writing (10 分) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. 71. Do We Give Weight Too Much Weight?     Take your height in metres, square it, then divide it by your weight in kilograms. That’s how you calculate your body mass index, or BMI. Between 18 and 25 means a healthy weight; over that, it doesn’t. Simple enough. BMI has become a popular measure for assessing health. On a population level, data backs this up. People with a high BMI are statistically more likely to develop conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, and some types of cancer. Checking BMI offers a quick way to assess health and decide if lifestyle changes are needed.     However, BMI does not give the full picture. It’s less accurate for some groups of people, such as children, the elderly or athletes. The measure was created in the 19th Century by a Belgian mathematician, which may explain why the figures work better for Europeans than other racial groups. It also ignores some key factors. Someone very active may have significant weight from muscle. BMI doesn’t differentiate between this or the internal fat, which is linked to health problems. It doesn’t account for the range of nutrients or the level of cholesterol (胆固醇) in someone’s diet. So people can have a high BMI yet be relatively healthy, while others with a low BMI may be unhealthy.     The simplicity of BMI is attractive and fits with society’s perception of the importance of weight. However, dependence on it as an indicator of health can cause people to feel judged because of their weight. This sometimes leads people to avoid going to the doctors if they expect questions about their weight. While BMI may be a useful measure, experts remind us that it should always be considered alongside other measures, such as blood pressure, blood sugar level, cholesterol level and others. V.

Summary writing（One possible version） BMI, a popular health measure calculated from height and weight, helps quickly assess health risks such as hypertension and diabetes. However, it is less accurate for children, the elderly, athletes and non-Europeans, and ignores muscle, internal fat and diet. Also, depending on BMI may make people feel judged and avoid doctors. Thus, experts suggest using BMI alongside other measures. 72–75. Translation（One possible version） 72. There is no point (in) going to the gym every day if you don’t control your diet. 73. To prevent his beloved dog from getting lost, the old man put a collar with the owner’s contact information on it. 74. This well-preserved wetland, with broad waters and beautiful scenery, is the habitat of many kinds of rare birds. 75. Rather than jumping to conclusions before you fully understand something new, it is better to keep an open mind and boldly explore its value. 76（Guided Writing）. One possible version     Of the four optional courses, I recommend photography the most and badminton the least.     Photography tops my list because it combines creativity with relaxation. Wandering around campus with a camera, we can capture beautiful moments like golden sunsets and laughing friends, which not only relieves our academic stress but also trains our aesthetic sense. Besides, the photos we take will become precious memories of our senior high school life.     By contrast, badminton appeals to me least. Although exercise is important, most of us already play ball games during PE classes, so an after-school badminton course adds little new. Moreover, it simply repeats what we can do on the playground free of charge, while courses like pottery or debate offer experiences we can hardly get elsewhere.     In short, photography would make our after-school hours both enjoyable and rewarding.

Grammar and Vocabulary (20 分) Section A (1’*10=10’) Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Pigeon Patrol Takes Flight     They’ve been driven from Trafalgar Square for being a creature that causes trouble; they’ve been derided as rats with wings for a long time; they’ve even been criticized as a risk (21) to public health. However, pigeons could play a small part now in helping Londoners overcome one of the capital’s biggest health problems — its serious air pollution (22) blamed (blame) for thousands of deaths a year.     In mid-March, a flock of racing pigeons was set loose from a rooftop in Brick Lane, with one equipped with a pollution sensor and (23) another fitted with a GPS tracker. (24) Although the sensor did record the nitrogen dioxide emitted by the city’s cars, buses and trucks and can send the data to anyone who asks for (25) a reading, the real purpose of using the pigeons is to raise awareness. “We’re making the invisible visible,” said Pierre Duquesnoy, the creative director behind the project and winner of a London Design Festival award. “Most of the time when people talk about pollution, we associate it with other places. But there are some days in the year (26) when pollution was more serious in London. That’s the reality.”     Duquesnoy said he was inspired by the use of pigeons in the First and Second World Wars (27) to deliver (deliver) vital information and save lives. Then he thought it would also be practical for the feathered creature to take mobile air quality readings and beat London’s crowded roads. “We are glad to reverse (28) what used to be seen as a flying rat into something quite positive,” said Duquesnoy.     This was the first time that urban wild animals (29) were used (use) to carry sensors to give us a picture of the air pollution over our heads. The release of the pigeons for three days, called the “Pigeon Air Patrol,” (30) came (come) as moderate to high pollution affected much of the city. Section B (1’*10=10’) Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. bond B. citing C. dismissing D. keenly E. mainstream F. misinformation G. mixed H. overblown I. panic J. typically K. unchecked Teens Are Pushing Back on AI     Forget cheating on homework and chatbot friends. Some kids are getting in on a new AI trend: thinking it sucks.     In the four years since chatbots went (31) mainstream and their marketing campaigns went into overdrive, young people have grown increasingly skeptical of the hype (大肆宣传) around LLMs (large language models).     A polling (投票) on youthful AI attitudes shows a great deal of contradiction. Adoption rates are high, with a majority of America’s teens reporting they use chatbots, but enthusiasm is (32) mixed. The recent Pew Research report found that while many teens think AI will be good for them personally, over a fourth of teens believe AI will have a negative impact on society in the next 20 years, (33) citing job loss, the decline of critical thinking skills, and environmental impacts as concerns. According to market research firm YPulse, 37 percent of teens aged 13 to 17 roll their eyes at AI content like music and videos, and more than half worry about (34) misinformation and deepfakes.     Young people (35) typically adopt new consumer technology eagerly, but Melanie Green, a communications professor, says AI is different. This time, the moral (36) panic isn’t coming from older generations — instead, kids are the ones turned off by the way AI is being pushed on them by adults and tech corporations. They’re also, Green says, “(37) keenly aware that whatever disruption happens, their generation is going to be taking the worst of it.”     Hence, the eye-rolls. The skepticism is surprisingly consistent across households. On Bluesky, a social media platform, parents (38) bond over their kids’ distrust of AI, with many claiming that their children come home saying “that’s AI” to mean “that’s nonsense.”     Some parents may worry that their children will be “left behind” if they don’t embrace AI now, but that’s likely (39) overblown, Dr. Avila, associate professor of psychology says. “There are plenty of technologies that we’ve learned to use while in the workforce, and our children will learn and adapt to new technologies as well. Overall, (40) dismissing AI is not a bad thing. It’s actually a really healthy response of the adolescent brain to anything they are unsure about.” She encourages parents to have open, non-judgmental conversations with their children about what they’re feeling and what their concerns are. III. Reading Comprehension (45 分) Section A  (1’*15=15’) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.     Nearly everyone has noticed a strange travel quirk: after a round trip, the journey back always feels surprisingly shorter. Scientists have long studied this universal mental trick, and several solid explanations can clarify why our brains perceive travel time so differently.     One leading explanation centers on psychological expectation. For vacationers especially, the eager anticipation of finally reaching a long-awaited destination stretches the perceived length of the outbound trip. Instead, when the ride drags on longer than mentally predicted, travelers experience subtle letdown. They unconsciously revised their inner anticipation of travel duration. This subtle mental adjustment makes the homeward journey feel far more brief and subjectively more delightful.     A second theory focuses on perceptual adjustment. When we encounter unfamiliar scenery, our brains will gradually grow accustomed to new surroundings over time. Faced with novel visual stimuli, the brain slows subjective time perception to handle intensive information processing. This cognitive mechanism accounts for the common experience that time seems to accelerate with age. Elderly people rarely encounter brand-new scenarios, so their brains seldom struggle to get through unfamiliar cognitive challenges.     This phenomenon is formally named the “return-trip effect.” On the way to a new place, your brain actively registers countless roadside landmarks. On your return journey along the identical route, you can effortlessly identify these familiar markers. With less mental confusion and far better spatial awareness, your subjective sense of time speeds up dramatically. This mental shortcut is closely related to the automation of learned skills. For example, beginner cyclists must constantly monitor their speed and balance to avoid falling. After consistent practice, the mind becomes free to wander without deliberate focus.     The return-trip effect is most obvious when travelers are reflecting on how tiring unfamiliar outbound journeys feel. This explains why the effect is strongly marked with holiday travel instead of daily commutes. Regular commuters are extremely accustomed to routine roadside scenery, enabling them to precisely measure the exact duration of both outbound and return trips. 41. A. tougher B. shorter C. fainter D. slower 42. A. departing B. attaining C. pursuing D. reaching 43. A. Instead B. Therefore C. However D. Otherwise 44. A. revised B. restored C. reserved D. recalled 45. A. complicated B. steady C. delightful D. flexible 46. A. resistant B. unfamiliar C. exposed D. accustomed 47.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)     Lin worked in the municipal archive (市档案馆), a neglected building on the far edge of the city. Inside, the air was always cold. Rows of old wooden boxes and piles of faded papers with old postmarks recorded stories from decades ago.     For years, Lin was trapped in a cycle of delay and low spirits. When young, he held high hopes. He wanted to create moving sculptures to touch people’s hearts. But after years in a stressful corporate job where he always underperformed, he abandoned his dream. He saw himself as a failure who had lost all self-control. To avoid further disappointment, he built a wall in his heart and hid behind laziness. He believed remaining emotionally detached could protect him from pain. He did his routine work mechanically and avoided extra tasks whenever possible.     Everything changed on a grey October afternoon, as heavy rain beat against the large windows. Looking up from his cold tea, Lin spotted a bright colour through the misty glass. A little girl stood in the rain, wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a matching yellow umbrella. She knocked softly at the heavy door.     She said she did not come to shelter from rain. Her mother told her the archive kept people’s old belongings. She was searching for a big wooden box her grandfather had left here before his sudden death. Normally Lin would refuse such troublesome requests. Finding one box among thousands of unlisted items was hard. Yet faced with her hopeful eyes, he could not turn her down. The girl offered to help with the search.     After that, she came every rainy afternoon. Walking along dark passages and opening dusty boxes, they found delicate hand carvings, old brass compasses and pocket watches. Lin learned the girl’s grandfather was a wood carver, just like he once had been. This unexpected friendship slowly changed his mind. His old belief that human efforts were in vain faded. The heavy regret over his wasted years turned into quiet peace.     Four weeks later, they found the box. Inside was no treasure, only a wooden bird with hidden gadgets. Turn its key, and its wooden wings would move. A note read: “To my granddaughter, always remember to fly, even on rainy days.”     After the girl left, Lin’s long sadness was gone. He got his carving tools, unused for over ten years, picked up pine wood and began carving. Warmth returned to his heart. 56. Why did Lin choose to stay emotionally distant?     A. He believed it could protect him from disappointment.     B. He was tired of dealing with visitors’ various requests.     C. He intended to devote all his spare time to sculpture.     D. He thought archive work required no emotional involvement. 57. What was the girl’s purpose of visiting the archive on that rainy afternoon?     A. To shelter herself from the heavy rain outside.     B. To trace back a wooden chest left by her late grandfather.     C. To hand over her grandfather’s hidden notebook to Lin.     D. To learn wood carving skills from an experienced craftsman. 58. What can we infer from Lin and the girl’s experience of searching for the wooden box?     A. Lin regained hope and healed his inner pain during the process.     B. Precious treasures were finally discovered in the old wooden box.     C. The girl’s grandfather intended to pass carving skills to Lin.     D. Rainy afternoons became their favorite time to explore the archive. 59. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?     A. A Dream Awakened in the Archive     B. Forgotten Treasures of a Family     C. Rainy Days in the Neglected Archive     D. A Grandfather’s Mysterious Gift (B) An eye for the future     In 1964, Isaac Asimov wrote a piece for The New York Times, predicting what the world would look like in 2014. Now, in 2026, let’s revisit a few of the most interesting excerpts from his essay and see where they stand in today’s society. Seeing the person you call Cars with brains Trip to Mars “The screen can be used not only to see the people you call but also for studying documents and photographs and reading passages from books.” This is one of the few predictions of Asimov got completely right. In 1964, mobile phones did exist. They were often installed in cars due to their size and substantial need for power. Fast forward to today, video calls are now commonplace, and modern smartphones also allow us to read books or view photos. “Vehicles with ‘Robot-brains’... can be set for particular destinations... that will then proceed there without interference ( 干扰 ) by the slow reflexes ( 本能反应 ) of a human driver.” In 2014, plans were being made for self-driving cars, many still in the pilot phase. Jump forward a few years and companies like Tesla are leading the way in driver-less cars. As of March 2026, a total of 941 vehicles in Guangzhou had joined road tests and demonstration operations. “By 2014, only unmanned ships will have landed on Mars, though a manned expedition will be in the works.” This was another accurate prediction by Asimov, as several rovers ( 探测器 ) have since successfully reached Mars. Now, scientists around the world are working to bring Martian samples back to Earth, and China is at the forefront of the space race, with the country’s Tianwen-3 mission aiming to carry out two launches around 2028. They have also made plans for a crewed Mars exploration by the year 2050.     Overall, it’s safe to say that Asimov’s predictions were pretty impressive. Let’s wait another 10 years to see if any more of his ideas become reality!

What did Asimov predict about Mars by 2014?     A. Manned explorations would have landed on Mars.     B. Unmanned ships would have reached Mars.     C. Martian samples would be brought back to Earth.     D. Regular flights to Mars would just be starting. (C) Does AI need a psychologist?     The question sounds absurdly relevant. Today, a fascinating Wall Street Journal essay by Cameron Berg asks a timely and serious version of that question. He argues that as AI becomes increasingly complex, we might need to start studying them less like tech and more like minds. So, let’s throw another log on the AI conflagration of promise and pitfalls.     I think this argument is provocative and worth wide discussion. And the scientific literature tells an interesting story. We’re beginning to see internal “patterns” in LLMs (large language models) we might describe as a sort of emotion or motivation. In one experiment that Berg discusses, researchers changed the internal activity associated with desperation in the LLM they were studying, Claude. They saw significant and curious increases in behaviors like cheating. What I find particularly interesting is that the language produced by the LLM remained outwardly calm. Something had changed inside the system that wasn’t obvious from what it was saying. Certainly an interesting question for today’s Dr. Freud.     Still, Berg makes a key point. AI is becoming increasingly difficult to understand simply by looking at outputs. He argues that we need a new science—artificial psychology—capable of examining what’s happening inside these artificial networks and understanding how those internal states influence behavior. He states it succinctly.     But as I thought about his editorial, I found myself considering the other mind in the room. Ours.     I’ve written a good deal about how AI is beginning to separate the product of thought from the process of thinking. Traditionally, an essay or analysis served as some evidence that cognition occurred. We couldn’t see the thinking, so we inferred it from what a person produced. I believe that generative AI breaks that relationship.     And here’s where Berg’s argument becomes even more interesting, at least to me. With AI, sophisticated language may conceal an internal process we don’t understand. With humans using AI, sophisticated language may conceal an internal process that never happened. And in this context, psychology may suddenly have two very different problems.     The first is understanding the increasingly strange computational systems we’re building. That’s Berg’s central thesis. The second, hidden in our mundane (世俗的) humanity, is understanding what interacting with those systems is doing to human cognition.     These two problems seem to exist in a sort of cognitive balance, shifting as our needs demand.     So, maybe that’s where the psychological question becomes most important. We are spending enormous resources trying to understand what’s happening inside artificial intelligence, as we should. But at the same time, billions of humans are beginning an unprecedented cognitive experiment (relationship) with machines that supplement, challenge, and replace the very thinking that makes us human.     So, does AI need a psychologist? Perhaps, but the psychologist might want to keep an eye on us too. 63. The underlined word “conflagration” is closest in meaning to ______.     A. peaceful and widely accepted agreement     B. great technical improvement in AI systems     C. an intense and spreading controversy or debate     D. an emerging and underexplored research project 64. What does the author mention about the experiment on Claude?     A. Claude showed obvious emotional shifts in its outward language.     B. Changing internal activity in the LLM can alter its external behavior.     C. Researchers confirmed LLMs have exactly the same desperation feeling as humans.     D. Cheating is the most common behavior for all large language models. 65. What can be inferred from paragraphs 6–8 about human users of AI?     A. Their fluent output may hide the fact that deep thinking never happened.     B. Their cognition level will quickly improve with frequent AI use.     C. They usually spend more time editing AI output than writing themselves.     D. They always produce higher quality content than people writing without AI. 66. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?     A. AI has surpassed human intelligence, so psychologists should focus only on machines.     B. Large language models like Claude are proven to have real emotions and need therapy.     C. Berg’s essay claims AI should be regulated by governments before further study.     D. We need psychology for AI, but we also need to weigh its impact on human cognition. Section C (2’*4=8’) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. Known as “desert ginseng”, this herb is a highly valued Chinese medicine. B. Though young, the plant bravely faces the strong sunlight and blowing sand. C. The symbiosis (共生) between the saxaul and the cistanche creates a connected system. D. Slowly, the strategy began to work. What was once barren land has turned into a green oasis. E. It’s a win-win situation where environmental protection and economic development go hand in hand. F. Known as a desert guardian, a fully grown saxaul tree can hold together a 10-square-meter patch of sandy land. Always better together     Riding the wind with its five tiny “wings”, a saxaul (梭梭树) seed lands on the sand. A quick rain shower has just brought some water onto the soil. Only two to three hours later, the seed – one of the fastest-growing in the world – has shot up. It finds itself on the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. (67) B Its roots go deep underground to find water and nutrients, which are then transported to other parts of the plant. As days go by, the seed grows into a tree, with strong branches that help stop the sand from moving.     The saxaul tree’s efforts also support another plant, the cistanche herb (肉苁蓉). (68) A It drives its roots into the saxaul tree’s vascular system, sharing in the water and nutrients.     Then one spring day, the sandy ground suddenly cracks open. The cistanche grows up into the sunlight, not far from the saxaul. The herb’s purple flowers give off a sweet smell, and a few bees come to collect nectar. As they drink the nectar, the tiny hairs on their bodies catch the pollen (花粉). As the bees move on to the next flower, they help spread plant life across the desert.     (69) C People plant saxaul forests to stop deserts from spreading, and grow cistanche herbs to sell to hospitals and healthcare companies. In addition, every April, growers rent bees from beekeepers to increase pollination (授粉) rates and produce honey. (70) E.     This is part of China’s “edge-locking” project around the Taklimakan Desert. Thanks to this systematic plan, China’s biggest (and the world’s second–largest) moving desert is now being brought under control. IV. Summary writing (10 分) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. 71. Do We Give Weight Too Much Weight?     Take your height in metres, square it, then divide it by your weight in kilograms. That’s how you calculate your body mass index, or BMI. Between 18 and 25 means a healthy weight; over that, it doesn’t. Simple enough. BMI has become a popular measure for assessing health. On a population level, data backs this up. People with a high BMI are statistically more likely to develop conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, and some types of cancer. Checking BMI offers a quick way to assess health and decide if lifestyle changes are needed.     However, BMI does not give the full picture. It’s less accurate for some groups of people, such as children, the elderly or athletes. The measure was created in the 19th Century by a Belgian mathematician, which may explain why the figures work better for Europeans than other racial groups. It also ignores some key factors. Someone very active may have significant weight from muscle. BMI doesn’t differentiate between this or the internal fat, which is linked to health problems. It doesn’t account for the range of nutrients or the level of cholesterol (胆固醇) in someone’s diet. So people can have a high BMI yet be relatively healthy, while others with a low BMI may be unhealthy.     The simplicity of BMI is attractive and fits with society’s perception of the importance of weight. However, dependence on it as an indicator of health can cause people to feel judged because of their weight. This sometimes leads people to avoid going to the doctors if they expect questions about their weight. While BMI may be a useful measure, experts remind us that it should always be considered alongside other measures, such as blood pressure, blood sugar level, cholesterol level and others. V.
