B The first time my daughter, Chloe, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. “Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind?” she cried. I tried to tell her that someday she’d understand the appeal of travel. But as my husband, Evan, pulled her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my own trips would be worth the effort of going without her. Returning home after a few days away, I felt energetic and inspired. Chloe was happy to hear about my trip. But this was the age of learning about compromises (妥协). For example: “You have to wear a coat, but we’ll compromise and you can choose which one you like best.” She told me I could keep going on trips for work — but we’d compromise: she’d come with me. When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in the sea or dived along a reef. In Fiji, nine-year-old Chloe was attracted by the friendly women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader. During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13, she learned where you was born can probably affect your opportunities in life. When we finished up our travels and returned home to Vancouver for her high school education, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to learn that our daughter had other ideas. Chloe was excited when, after months of interviews, she was awarded a place to finish high school at Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa. But it was during that first airport goodbye that I realized it was my turn to be left behind. Compared to the silly 17-year-old I’d said goodbye to, the 21-year-old woman who came home from high school in Africa and, later, from university in France, seemed mature and unfamiliar. 24. How did Chloe feel the first time she realized her mum was leaving on a trip without her? A. Excited. B. Shocked. C. Confused. D. Sad. 25. What does the author want to tell in Paragraph 3? A. Chloe’s travel experiences. B. Chloe’s joy of travel. C. Chloe’s bravery during her travels. D. Chloe’s impression on travel. 26. What did Chloe do for high school education after returning home? A. Chloe got an award in high school. B. Chloe applied for a school in Africa. C. Chloe finished high school in Vancouver. D. Chloe went on travelling in Southern Africa. 27. What can we draw from the text? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Parents are the best teachers. C. Travel shapes a person. D. Life is like a journey. C Seeing terror films (恐怖电影) is typically a harmless activity. But the fear it generates can cause the body’s fight-or-flight system-releasing chemicals into the body and causing a number of physiological responses. Our body’s fear response is actually a fantastic tool for survival in dangerous situations because it kicks in fast, makes us full of energy, heightens our focus, strengthens our muscles, and gets us ready to handle whatever is coming at us. It’s a built-in survival mechanism, which has been with us since our ancient ancestors. But even as it helped our ancient ancestors escape from tigers and keeps us out of harm today, activating the body’s fear response isn’t always a good thing. If it’s initiated too often with constant stress or frequent jump scares, it can wear our bodies down. The body’s fear response, or fight-or-flight response, always begins in the amygdala-apart of the brain’s system that’s critical for recognizing threats and processing emotions. After it detects a threat, the amygdala sends a distress signal to a command centre in the brain, which tells the nervous system to release hormones and neurotransmitters (荷尔蒙和神经递质). Research shows that these hormones and neurotransmitters work together to quicken your breathing and to make your heart send oxygen-rich blood faster to your muscles and vital organs. This prepares the muscles and brain to rapidly set up a threat response. Indeed, when stress hormones are released too often or for long periods of time, it can wear your body down. In some people, it can lead to health issues like high blood pressure, heart problems and digestive issues, because your body is constantly in “high alarm mode”. Another consideration is that our immediate biological response to fear is the same whether we’re facing true danger — or something that only appears that way. Overexposure to jump scares can make you less sensitive to fear. So people who enjoy terror films regularly might not react as strongly to real danger because their brain gets used to these situations. 28. Why are ancient ancestors mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To show body’s fear response is inborn. B. To admire their quick response to fear. C. To show how they survived the scary situations. D. To introduce the living conditions in ancient days. 29. How is Paragraph 3 developed? A. By giving examples. B. By defining and comparing. C. By explaining and analyzing. D. By listing data. 30. Which may be the result of watching terror films frequently? A. Being less sensitive to real danger. B. Doing good to health. C. Losing interest in other films. D. Getting tired of them. 31. Which might be the best title for the text? A. Fight or Flight? B. Are Terror Films Harmless? C. An Extreme Entertainment D. Effects of Fear on Brain and Body D Scientists with the BrainGate research centre have developed a breakthrough brain-computer interface (BCI). The system aims to restore communication for individuals with speech disabilities caused by conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS渐冻症), which leads to the gradual loss of mobility and speech. It uses implanted (植入的) sensors to interpret brain signals when a user attempts to speak, turning them into text that is read aloud by a computer. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine on August 14, was led by David Brandman and Sergey Stavisky, faculty members at UC Davis Health. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, affects nerve cells controlling muscle movement. BCI technology can restore communication for those affected. In this study, Casey Harrell, a 45-year-old man with ALS, regained the ability to communicate effectively within minutes of using the system. Harrell described the experience as life-changing, saying, “My past condition was so demoralizing. Not being able to communicate seems as if you were trapped. Something like this technology will help people get back into life and society.” The BrainGate clinical trial, led by Dr. Leigh Hochberg from Brown University, has made major progress in interpreting brain signals to help people with paralysis (瘫痪) communicate. In July 2023, the UC Davis team implanted a BCI device into Harrell’s brain, focusing on the left precentral gyrus, a part of the brain that controls speech. The system translates brain activity into phonemes (音素) and words, enabling real-time communication. Harrell’s BCI generated speech with a voice similar to his own, using software trained with existing voice samples of his voice before he developed ALS. This allowed him to connect with his loved ones in a deeply personal way. Over 32 weeks and 248 hours of use, the system achieved remarkable results, with 99.6% accuracy for a 50-word vocabulary in 30 minutes of training and 90.2% accuracy for a 125,000-word vocabulary after 1.4 additional training hours. “This is game-changing technology,” Brandman said. “It provides hope for people who want to speak but can’t.” Dr. John Ngai, director of the NIH’s BRAIN Initiative, highlighted the milestone as a major step in restoring communication for individuals locked in by paralysis. 32. What do we know about the BrainGate BCI? A. It is used to treat speech disabilities. B. It translates brain signals into speech. C. It helps people with ALS move and speak. D. It connects brains to make computers smarter. 33. What does the underlined word “demoralizing” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Discouraging. B. Comforting. C. Demanding. D. Eye-opening. 34. What was the purpose of using Harrell’s pre-ALS voice to compose the speech? A. To enable his communication in real time. B. To improve the accuracy of speech translation. C. To help interpret his brain signals more easily. D. To make his speech emotionally meaningful. 35. What is Dr. John Ngai’s attitude towards the BrainGate BCI? A. Unconcerned. B. Unclear. C. Critical. D. Favourable. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When was the last time you had to memorize a phone number? The chances are that it has been years, given that you can simply use your digital devices to memorize that number for you. In a world of digital information, a new phenomenon “digital amnesia”, which refers to the loss of our brains’ ability to remember information as we become dependent on technology to get data, is starting to spread across the country. 36 Establish a screen-free day. Start choosing one day of the week to put away your digital devices. 37 Because it’ll likely stimulate you to check your messages before you’re even stepping out of bed. By not staring at your devices, you’ll give your brain a break. 38 Instead of depending on your phone, set out to design a reliable workout plan, which uses printed instructions to train your memory. There are several techniques you can use, but whichever ones you choose, physical paper is the key. It allows you to exercise your brain to find the answer within the pages themselves, rather than turning to your phone for help. Simplify your digital life. There is no denying that digital devices have made our lives extremely convenient. However, they can be harmful to our mental health and productivity. Although we can try to avoid using digital devices, it is undeniable that we will need them for certain tasks. 39 Removing what is not necessary can help you be less dependent on your devices. 40 It can be a very effective tool, but its usefulness, or uselessness, entirely depends on your attitude. You have to learn how to use it correctly so that it doesn’t take over. A. Stick to a practical plan. B. Exercise your memory. C. Luckily, there are ways you can take to deal with it. D. It can help you improve work efficiency and get organized. E. Simplifying your digital life can help address digital amnesia. F. If you need something to wake you up, avoid using your phone. G. Despite the so-called digital amnesia, technology does have its place in our lives. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I picked up my phone to take a picture of the beautiful scenery. And I got a 41 “Cannot take photos: There is not enough available 42 to take a photo.” I panicked and 43 went to see what pictures I could delete. No candidates. So I tried the next best thing: to 44 some apps. But it turned out that all of them were useful. I was annoyed at myself for not remembering to transfer my photos the night before. Before I 45 defeat, I missed many breathtaking views that the tour guide was 46 . I would probably never get to see them again, and wasn’t I on this trip to see them? I thought back to the conversation I had with my brother before 47 this trip. My brother suggested I just look at pictures and videos of Switzerland and save all the money and troubles. And I thought his idea was 48 . How could photos and videos compare to actually going to Switzerland and 49 it? But wasn’t I planning on taking 50 pictures and then looking at Switzerland through a screen? I was 51 myself from having the experience that I had been looking forward to. So a trip without taking pictures was actually a blessing. I was 52 to take mental pictures and to experience Switzerland. Now, a year later, as I continue to share my travel experiences with my friends, I no longer use pictures. 53 , I use my unique experiences to create an image in their minds that no 54 could ever match. Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the 55 you miss by going too fast — you also miss the sense of where you are going and why. 41. A. letter B. call C. message D. ticket 42.

It was a summer afternoon when I was in primary school. My grandfather, noticing my growing interest in Chinese culture, invited me to his study. He carefully took out his precious calligraphy set and said, “Today, I will teach you the art of Chinese calligraphy.” At first, I found it extremely challenging. The brush seemed to have a mind of its own, and the Chinese characters that I wrote were far from the beautiful and elegant ones I had seen in books or on the wall of my grandpa’s study. My wrist would ache after just a few minutes of holding the brush, and the ink would often mess up the paper. But my grandfather was patient. He adjusted my sitting posture and guided my hand, showing me how to control the brush with just the right amount of pressure. He told me stories about famous calligraphers in Chinese history and explained the cultural significance behind each stroke (笔画). As time went on, I went abroad for my high school education. While I was engaged in my schooling, I kept practicing Chinese calligraphy for an hour or two every day. Gradually, I began to notice improvements in my writing. I didn’t feel the pain in my hand any longer and the characters became more balanced and graceful. I also started to learn about the different styles of Chinese calligraphy, such as the bold and vigorous style of Kai Shu and the flowing and dynamic style of XingShu. I was amazed by the beauty, the elegance and the rich cultural heritage embedded in each style. 注意： 1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 One day, my school held an international cultural exchange activity. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Through this experience, I realized the power of sharing. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
