Like many people, I keep a folder of “daily games” on my phone. Inspired by friends online, I would like to share a few non-NYT games I now play every day. Map Tap is a simple geography game. You see a 3D globe with no country borders. You must tap as close as possible to a named place, such as “London.” The closer you are, the more points you get, and there are five questions each round. Without familiar lines on the map, it can be hard to find even places you know well. But playing it really improves your knowledge of world geography. TimeGuessr is similar. Each day brings five photos. For each one, you guess both the year and the place. The photos may show historical events or ordinary life. You study small clues — a shop sign, a license plate, or even people’s clothes — like a detective. It is a fun way to learn about the world. The Loop is my favorite morning game. You get 12 pictures and must arrange them in a circle so that each one connects to its neighbors. For example, a square-root symbol may link to a toolbox and to a carrot. The links can be playful, and the game is forgiving, which makes it perfect when you are still half awake. Clues by Sam is a logic puzzle. A grid shows people with names and jobs. Using given clues, you decide who is innocent and who is guilty. You cannot guess — every answer must be inferred from the clues. The hardest game I play is Catfishing. You see the Wikipedia categories of a page and try to name it. There are ten questions, and the answers are often very hidden. Even so, it is endlessly challenging. 1. What is difficult about playing MapTap? A. Remembering famous cities. B. Guessing the correct years. C. Spelling foreign place names. D. Finding places without borders. 2. What is special about Clues by Sam? A. Players must draw answers logically. B. It gets easier from Monday to Sunday. C. Players arrange pictures in a circle. D. It shows photos from around the world. 3. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To compare NYT games with other puzzles. B. To recommend some daily games. C. To teach readers how to play Wordle. D. To explain why puzzles beat social media. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要推荐几款纽约时报之外的趣味每日益智小游戏。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Without familiar lines on the map, it can be hard to find even places you know well.(地图上没有熟悉的边界线，就算是你很熟悉的地点，也很难找到。)”可知Map Tap的难点是在没有国界的地图上寻找地点。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Clues by Sam is a logic puzzle. A grid shows people with names and jobs. Using given clues, you decide who is innocent and who is guilty. You cannot guess — every answer must be inferred from the clues.(Clues by Sam是一款逻辑谜题游戏。网格上展示带有姓名和职业的人物。玩家需要利用给出线索判断谁无辜、谁有罪。不能靠猜——所有答案都必须从线索推理得出。)”可知，玩家必须依靠逻辑得出答案。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Inspired by friends online, I would like to share a few non-NYT games I now play every day.(受网上朋友启发，我想分享几款我每天都玩的、纽约时报之外的小游戏。)”可知，全文目的是向读者推荐几款日常益智小游戏。 B A team of researchers has announced what they call the world’s first production-ready computer chip designed entirely by artificial intelligence. The chip, named Redwood, was created by Architect Labs, a laboratory focused on using AI to design custom chips. According to the team, only two human engineers were needed to write a high-level specification. After that, an AI system took over, completing the entire design and full verification (验证) of a working AI accelerator in less than two weeks. Traditionally, designing a modern chip is a slow and costly process. It can take years and hundreds of millions of dollars, carried out by large teams of specialists. Redwood changes this pattern. The AI system not only produced the chip’s circuit design but also wrote the firmware and custom software needed to run AI models such as Llama and Qwen. Currently running on an FPGA platform, Redwood can handle models with billions of parameters (参数). When mapped to Samsung’s 8nm process, it delivers 1.75 times the processing speed of NVIDIA’s Jetson Orin Nano while using about half the power, giving it 3.4 times better performance per watt. What makes Redwood unusual is its co-design approach. Instead of forcing software to fit pre-built hardware, the AI improved the chip’s circuits, firmware, and core code together around the needs of AI workloads. This creates a feedback loop: better AI models inform better hardware, and more efficient hardware enables better AI. Industry experts see this as a turning point. Sunil Shenoy, a former senior Intel executive, said Redwood represents a real paradigm shift, making capabilities once limited to a few giants available at an amazing speed. While challenges remain in scaling such systems, the achievement suggests that the boundary between designing chips and using AI to design them is beginning to disappear. 4. What did the AI systems do for Redwood? A. It wrote the chip’s specification. B. It handled the whole design process. C. It evaluated the final cost. D. It named the new chip. 5. What does Redwood’s co-design approach show? A. Hardware should come before software. B. Software matters more than hardware. C. Traditional chip are easier to design. D. AI and hardware improve each other. 6. The phrase “paradigm shift” in Para 4 is closest in meaning to ________. A. a sharp rise in the speed of chip production B. a complete change in how things are done C. a breakthrough driven by a few industry giants D. a new design method that reduces the cost of chips 7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A New AI Chip with Better Power Efficiency B. Redwood: The First AI-Designed Chip C. How AI is Reshaping the Chip Industry D. The Two-Week Project Behind a Faster Chip 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述研究团队推出全球第一款可投入生产、完全由人工智能设计的芯片Redwood，介绍这款芯片的设计方式、性能优势、协同设计理念以及该成果对芯片行业带来的影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“According to the team, only two human engineers were needed to write a high-level specification. After that, an AI system took over, completing the entire design and full verification (验证) of a working AI accelerator in less than two weeks.(该团队表示，只需要两名人类工程师撰写高层次规范。在这之后，人工智能系统接手，在不到两周的时间内完成了可用人工智能加速器的全部设计以及完整验证工作)”可知，人工智能系统负责整个设计流程。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This creates a feedback loop: better AI models inform better hardware, and more efficient hardware enables better AI.(这形成了一个反馈循环：更好的人工智能模型推动硬件升级，效率更高的硬件又助力更优质的人工智能)”可知，协同设计理念体现人工智能与硬件互相促进。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Sunil Shenoy, a former senior Intel executive, said Redwood represents a real paradigm shift, making capabilities once limited to a few giants available at an amazing speed.(英特尔前高管Sunil Shenoy表示，Redwood代表一次真正的paradigm shift，曾经只有少数行业巨头才具备的能力，如今能以惊人速度实现)”可知，这代表做事方式的彻底转变，paradigm shift表示范式转变，即做事方式的彻底改变。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开篇点明首款完全由人工智能设计的芯片Redwood问世，后文围绕这款芯片的设计、性能与行业意义展开介绍，因此最佳标题为B“红杉：首款由人工智能设计的芯片”。 C The story of English is often told as a triumph: a minor Germanic dialect grew into the most widely used language on Earth. Yet English was, in a sense, born twice — and its second birth came after a near-death experience. When the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes crossed the North Sea in the fifth century, they encountered a Britain that had been a Roman province for nearly four centuries. The native Celtic-speaking Britons were not wiped out but largely displaced, marginalized, or absorbed. Crucially, they left remarkably few traces on the language of their conquerors. Old English vocabulary for governance, warfare, and daily life is overwhelmingly Germanic; Celtic borrowed words number in dozens, not thousands. The few Celtic words that survived are words of landscape and nursery, not of law, religion, or power. Then came the second birth — on the tip of a Norman sword. In 1066, William the Conqueror’s victory at Hastings established a French-speaking ruling class in England. For nearly three centuries, English was the language of the conquered: the peasant, the servant, the outlaw. French was the language of court, law, and literature; Latin remained the language of the Church and learning. English survived not because it was powerful but because it was spoken by the majority — the ordinary people whose labor fed the kingdom. The result was not the victory of English over French but their combination. Middle English emerged as a mixture. Germanic bones, Romance flesh. The vocabulary of power — government, justice, parliament, sovereign — came from French; the vocabulary of the hearth — house, bread, child, love — remained English. This duality (双重性) remains today. We raise cattle (Anglo-Saxon) but eat beef (French boeuf); we live in houses (English) but reside in mansions (French). The linguistic contact of 1066 is reflected in our modern vocabulary. What does the origin of English teach us? English rose not because it was elegant but because its speakers, through accident and disaster, became powerful. Its Celtic ghosts and French rulers remind us that every language is a graveyard of vanished peoples — and a proof of the unpredictable politics of survival. 8. What can we learn about the Celtic language’s influence on Old English? A. It provided daily life vocabulary. B. It left a small number of borrowed words. C. It disappeared after Germanic invasions. D. It was preserved in Church documents. 9. Why did English survive after the Norman Conquest? A. It was easier to learn than French. B. It was protected by the Norman kings. C. It was used in law and literature. D. It was spoken by most ordinary people. 10. The author uses the example of “cattle/ beef” mainly to show that ________. A. French words sound more elegant B. the Norman Conquest shaped English words C. social classes are reflected in modern English D. old French ruled over local dialects 11. What does the author mainly agree with about English? A. It won for its inner beauty and flexibility. B. It grew from peaceful cultural exchanges. C. It rose for historical accidents and power relations. D. Historians ignore Celtic influence on it. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍英语的两次诞生，讲述凯尔特语对古英语微弱的影响，诺曼征服带来法语词汇，古英语与法语融合形成中古英语，阐释语言演变背后的历史与权力因素。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Celtic borrowed words number in dozens, not thousands. (源自凯尔特语的借词只有几十个，而非成千上万。)”可知，凯尔特语只留下少量借词。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“English survived not because it was powerful but because it was spoken by the majority — the ordinary people whose labor fed the kingdom. (英语能够留存下来，并非因为它本身强大，而是因为大多数人——用劳动养活王国的普通人——都在说英语。)”可知，诺曼征服后英语留存是因为大多数普通人都讲英语。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We raise cattle (Anglo-Saxon) but eat beef (French boeuf)...The linguistic contact of 1066 is reflected in our modern vocabulary. (我们饲养牛群——盎格鲁-撒克逊语，却食用牛肉——法语boeuf……1066年诺曼征服带来的语言接触，体现在我们现代英语的词汇当中。)”可知，作者用cattle/beef的例子，说明诺曼征服这件事塑造并影响了英语词汇。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“English rose not because it was elegant but because its speakers, through accident and disaster, became powerful. (英语崛起并非因为它优雅，而是因为说英语的人群历经意外与灾难，最终掌握了权力。)”可知，作者认为英语的崛起源于历史偶然事件和权力关系。 D Food markets have experienced considerable instability in recent years. Global warming is causing droughts, soil loss 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 agri-tech companies reached $16.2 billion in 2025. Of this, $9 billion went to new research into increasing crop output, 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 (杀虫剂) and fertilisers that have controlled 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 crop output 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 stressed about 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 remove harmful substances. C. To strengthen natural resistance. D. To protect healthy plants. 14. What does “precision agriculture” contribute to? A. Accurate market forecasting. B. Improved crop storage methods. 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】文章讲述农业科技创新与精准农业的发展新趋势。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。通读第一段，尤其是根据第一段中“The focus of sustainability efforts is switching from preventing climate change to dealing with it and finding solutions.(可持续发展工作的核心正在从预防气候变化转向应对气候变化并寻找解决方案。)”可知，本段着重强调农业相关投资的关注方向发生了转变。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“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.(喷洒了该分子的番茄和马铃薯植株会被诱导误以为自己正遭受侵害，进而激活自身对抗感染的天然防御机制。)”可知，B-COS团队喷洒该分子的目的是强化作物自身的天然抗病能力。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“This is then run through AI models that make predictions about the best conditions and treatments to achieve the highest crop output or produce the highest-quality crops.(这些数据会被输入AI模型，由模型预测出能实现最高作物产量或培育最优品质作物的最佳条件与管护方案。)”可知，精准农业能够辅助农户做出科学合理的农业生产规划。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“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.(尽管农业约占全球GDP的4%，但2024年农业科技公司仅吸引到全球早期风险投资资金的1.3%。)”可知，作者抛出该数据是为了凸显农业科技领域投资占比偏低的现状，进而呼吁更多资本向该领域倾斜。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 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。选项中有两项多余选项。 The Romantic Poets: Prophets (先知) of a Broken World The Romantic movement in English poetry, which flourished roughly between 1798 and 1832, is often remembered for its love of nature and its celebration of emotion. Yet this popular image is only half the truth. ____16____ The Romantics were not merely dreamers who fled from reality; they were, in many ways, the first modern writers to confront the spiritual crisis of an industrializing world. The publication of Lyrical Ballads in 1798, a joint work by William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, is usually taken as the starting point of the movement. In his preface to the second edition, Wordsworth declared that poetry should be written in “the real language of men” and should focus on “incidents and situations from common life”. ____17____ It was a democratic (民主的) revolution in literature, one that challenged the refined, artificial style of the eighteenth century and insisted that ordinary people and ordinary speech could be fit subjects for great poetry. Wordsworth himself displays the Romantic faith in nature as a source of moral and spiritual renewal. In poems such as Tintern Abbey, he describes how the memory of natural beauty can restore the mind in moments of “hardships” and dull routines of daily life.”. ____18____ Coleridge, by contrast, was drawn to the mysterious, the supernatural, and the irrational. His poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan explore guilt, imagination, and the mysterious. It was this darker, more visionary side of Romanticism that later poets such as Poe and Baudelaire would inherit (继承). Together, the two poets represented two sides of the Romantic temperament (气质): one rooted in the visible world, the other reaching toward the invisible. The second generation of Romantics — Byron, Shelley, and Keats — was more rebellious (反叛的) and more tragic. Byron became a European celebrity, a symbol of rebellious individuality; Shelley was dismissed from Oxford for his atheism and later drowned at sea; Keats died of a serious lung disease at twenty-five. ____19____ Their short, intense lives seemed to embody the very intensity they sought in poetry. Today the Romantics are often taught as a reaction against the Enlightenment’s faith in reason. ____20____ They did not reject reason so much as insist that it was not enough — that without imagination, sympathy, and a sense of the sacred, human beings would lose their capacity to feel, and with it, their humanity. A. But this too is an oversimplification. B. Nature, for the Romantics, was often a source of comfort rather than fear. C. They lived and wrote so urgently that their work feels permanently young. D. The movement was born in an age of revolution, war, and rapid social change. E. Many of them devoted themselves to social reform movements of their time. F. For him, nature was not a decoration but a living presence, a teacher, and a healer. G. This emphasis on common language and common life broke the literary conventions of the day. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. F 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍英国浪漫主义诗歌运动，介绍其起源、代表诗人华兹华斯与柯勒律治、第二代浪漫主义诗人，阐释浪漫主义并非单纯崇尚自然，而是直面工业化世界的精神危机，并非完全反对理性。 【16题详解】 上文“Yet this popular image is only half the truth.(然而这种大众印象只是一半的真相)”说明大众对浪漫主义的认知并不完整，后文“The Romantics were not merely dreamers who fled from reality; they were, in many ways, the first modern writers to confront the spiritual crisis of an industrializing world.(浪漫主义诗人不只是逃避现实的空想家；在很多方面，他们是首批直面工业化世界精神危机的现代作家)”说明浪漫主义诗人直面时代的精神困境。选项D“这场运动诞生于一个充满革命、战争与快速社会变革的时代。”交代浪漫主义运动诞生的时代背景，承接上文，起到承上启下的作用。 【17题详解】 上文“In his preface to the second edition, Wordsworth declared that poetry should be written in “the real language of men” and should focus on “incidents and situations from common life.”(在第二版序言中，华兹华斯宣称诗歌应当使用“人们真实的语言”，聚焦“普通生活中的事件与场景”)”说明华兹华斯提出了新的诗歌创作主张，后文“It was a democratic (民主的) revolution in literature, one that challenged the refined, artificial style of the eighteenth century and insisted that ordinary people and ordinary speech could be fit subjects for great poetry.(这是一场文学领域的民主变革，挑战了 18 世纪精致造作的文风，主张普通人与日常话语也能成为伟大诗歌的素材)”说明该主张引发了文学层面的变革。选项G“这种对通俗语言与普通生活的重视打破了当时的文学传统。”承接前文华兹华斯的文学主张，引出后文这场文学变革带来的影响。 【18题详解】 上文“Wordsworth himself displays the Romantic faith in nature as a source of moral and spiritual renewal. In poems such as Tintern Abbey, he describes how the memory of natural beauty can restore the mind in moments of “hardships” and dull routines of daily life.(华兹华斯本人体现了浪漫主义者的信念：自然是道德与精神新生的源泉。在《丁登寺》等诗作中，他描写回忆自然之美如何能在困境与枯燥日常中抚慰心灵)”说明华兹华斯认为自然能够治愈人的精神。选项F“对他而言，自然不是一种装饰，而是鲜活的存在、良师与疗愈者。”进一步阐释华兹华斯心中自然的意义，衔接上文内容。 【19题详解】 上文“The second generation of Romantics — Byron, Shelley, and Keats — was more rebellious (反叛的) and more tragic. Byron became a European celebrity, a symbol of rebellious individuality; Shelley was dismissed from Oxford for his atheism and later drowned at sea; Keats died of a serious lung disease at twenty-five.(第二代浪漫主义诗人——拜伦、雪莱、济慈，更加反叛，人生也更具悲剧色彩。拜伦成为欧洲名人，是反叛个性的象征；雪莱因无神论被牛津开除，后来溺水身亡；济慈 25 岁时因严重肺病离世)”说明第二代浪漫主义诗人人生坎坷短暂，后文“Their short, intense lives seemed to embody the very intensity they sought in poetry.(他们短暂而浓烈的一生，仿佛诠释了他们在诗歌中追寻的那种强烈情感)”说明诗人的人生经历和诗歌追求紧密关联。选项C“他们生活和写作都充满激情，因此他们的作品永远充满活力。”衔接前后文，将诗人的人生和作品特点联系起来。 【20题详解】 上文“Today the Romantics are often taught as a reaction against the Enlightenment’s faith in reason.(如今教材常把浪漫主义解读为对启蒙运动理性信念的一种反抗)”说明现在普遍存在一种片面解读，后文“They did not reject reason so much as insist that it was not enough — that without imagination, sympathy, and a sense of the sacred, human beings would lose their capacity to feel, and with it, their humanity.(他们并没有否定理性，只是坚持理性并不足够——如果没有想象力、共情心与敬畏感，人类会失去感知的能力，继而丢失人性)”说明浪漫主义者并不是反对理性。选项A“但这同样是一种过度简化的看法。”进行转折，否定前面片面的理解，引出后文更全面的解释。 第三部分 完形填空 (共15小题；每题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Every morning, Kofi woke up with a quiet sigh.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Kofi看到同学们已经收到录取通知书、前程光明，对自己产生自我怀疑，在奶奶讲的两粒种子的故事启发下，重新认识到自己的成长节奏，走出了自我否定。 【21题详解】 考查动词。句意：他习惯性地伸手去拿手机，滑动屏幕时，胸口微微发紧。A. widened变宽；B. softened软化；C. lightened变亮，变轻松；D. tightened收紧，发紧。根据上文“Every morning, Kofi woke up with a quiet sigh.”和下文“His classmates were posting acceptance letters and photos from campus visits”可知，Kofi看到同学们收到录取通知书而自己还没结果，内心焦虑不安，所以胸口会发紧。 【22题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：同学们在发布录取通知书和校园参观的照片，他们的未来已然开始初具雏形。A. fall apart崩溃，破碎；B. slip away溜走；C. take shape成型，有了模样；D. make sense讲得通，有意义。根据上文“His classmates were posting acceptance letters and photos from campus visits”可知，同学们已经拿到录取通知书，进入人生下一阶段，未来已经清晰成型。 【23题详解】 考查名词。句意：有时候这是真的，但其他时候，这只是他重复了很多遍直到听起来合乎礼节的谎言。A. lie谎言；B. trick诡计；C. secret秘密；D. promise承诺。根据上文“Sometimes that was true, but other times”可知，有时候Kofi并不是真的为同学们感到开心，只是假装开心。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：他开始悄悄地衡量自己。A. detect发现，检测；B. adjust调整；C. measure衡量，评判；D. challenge挑战。根据下文“His grades felt unimpressive and his clothes too ordinary.”可知，Kofi看到同学们的发展后，开始和别人对比衡量自己的条件。 【25题详解】 考查形容词。句意：甚至他的笑容看起来都是假的，只是为别人展露。A. borrowed借来的，假冒的；B. defeated被打败的；C. natural自然的；D. frozen冻住的。根据下文“worn only for others”可知，笑容并不是发自Kofi内心，只是伪装出来给别人看的。 【26题详解】 考查形容词。句意：家里的镜子在糟糕的早晨会捕捉到他：疲惫的双眼，前倾的肩膀。A. guilty愧疚的；B. tired疲惫的；C. misty有雾的，模糊的；D. impatient不耐烦的。根据上文“bad mornings”以及最后一段中“his weary eyes”可知，Kofi心情低落，早上起床的时候眼睛都是疲惫的。 【27题详解】 考查名词。句意：另一些日子里，他盯着看太久，希望镜子能给他看一个已经“成功”的自己的版本。A. version版本；B. copy副本，拷贝；C. portrait肖像；D. example例子。根据下文“of himself that had already “made it””可知，Kofi希望看到的是另一个已经成功的自己，是同一个自我的不同发展版本。 【28题详解】 考查动词。句意：一天晚上，奶奶轻轻坐到他旁边的椅子上，温柔地说：“镜子会说谎。”A. rushed冲，匆忙；B. collapsed坍塌，倒下；C. crashed碰撞；D. eased小心缓慢地移动。根据后文奶奶说话的语气“said softly”可知，奶奶动作很轻柔，慢慢坐到椅子上。 【29题详解】 考查副词。句意：他苦涩地笑了。A. coldly冷漠地；B. shyly害羞地；C. bitterly苦涩地，悲痛地；D. rigidly僵硬地。根据上文主人公自我否定、内心压抑的状态及后文“They only show the truth”可知，他此刻的笑声满是无奈与苦涩。 【30题详解】 考查形容词。句意：它们展示出的是你准备好看到的东西。A. happy开心的；B. ready准备好的；C. proud骄傲的；D. unable不能的。根据空前“They show what you’re”和空后“to see”可知，奶奶这句话是点出Kofi现在只看到自己不够好的地方，因为他现在心里只准备接受自己不好的样子，所以镜子只会呈现他想看到的负面内容。 【31题详解】 考查名词。句意：一颗种子早早发芽，吸引走了所有人的注意力。A. warmth温暖；B. strength力量；C. vitality活力；D. attention注意力。根据下文“The other stayed hidden, growing roots underground where no one clapped.”可知，另一颗种子藏在地下没人关注，对应早发芽的种子带走了所有注意力。 【32题详解】 考查动词。句意：但是当它的日子到来，这颗藏起来的芽奋力向上生长。A. blocked阻挡；B. lost失去；C. forced奋力，迫使；D. wound蜿蜒，缠绕。根据上文“The other stayed hidden, growing roots underground where no one clapped.”和空后“its way upward”可知，藏在地下的种子已经长好了根，等到时机成熟就会冲破阻碍向上生长，force one’s way upward表示“奋力挤出、向上生长”。 【33题详解】 考查动词。句意：她的话并没有立刻解决一切问题。A. fix修理，解决，修正；B. explain解释；C. cover覆盖；D. claim宣称。根据下文“But something changed.”可知，奶奶的话点醒了Kofi，虽然没有一下子帮助Kofi将所有问题都解决，但是改变已经慢慢发生了。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：第一次，他在疲惫的眼睛里注意到了希望——他的人生没有迟到，也没有落后。A. sympathy同情；B. trust信任；C. gratitude感激；D. hope希望。根据下文“his life was not late or behind”可知，Kofi终于从自我否定里走了出来，看到了自己未来的希望。 【35题详解】 考查动词。句意：它只是以一种不需要加滤镜、不需要公开发布、不需要比较的方式慢慢展开。A. expected期待；B. compared比较；C. described描述；D. shaped塑造。Kofi看到同学们的发展和自己对比产生自我否定，这里Kofi意识到自己的人生不需要和别人的人生比较。 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题，共55分) 第四部分 语法填空 (共10空；每空1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Suzhou Museum of Contemporary Art Opens After three years of preparation, the Suzhou Museum of Contemporary Art (Suzhou MoCA) officially opened to the public on Aug 30, ____36____ (add) a new cultural landmark to the historic city of Suzhou.

(使用了不定式作后置定语) 第二节 读后续写 (满分20分) 57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的故事。 Jamal was a shoeshine boy. He lost his father when he was very young and now lived in a slum (贫民窟) with his mother and sister. After school, he would sit near a cinema hall and polish shoes for a living. Like many boys his age, Jamal had a dream. He loved hero movies. Every evening, after work, he would stand outside the cinema hall and stare at the posters. Brave men in shining armour (盔甲), clever detectives, fearless policemen. “One day,” he would whisper to himself, “I will do something brave too.” But deep down, he knew it was a foolish dream. He was small and thin, nothing like those muscular heroes on the posters. His days were filled with the same dull routine: dusting shoes, spreading polish, brushing hard until they shone, then holding out his hand for a few coins. He was just a poor boy in a big city, ordinary, invisible, and forgotten. One hot day, Jamal was counting his earnings when he overheard a passerby say, “A thief has just escaped from the jewellery shop across the street. He stole a gold necklace.” Before Jamal could move, a customer stopped him. “Boy, polish my shoes nicely,” the man said, looking at his wristwatch. The man was huge. He stood over Jamal like a tower, his shoulders wide as a door, his arms thick and heavy. His hands were so large that they could have covered Jamal’s whole face. One blow from those fists, Jamal thought, and he would not get up again. Jamal quietly put away his curiosity and knelt down to polish the man’s shoes. The man put his left shoe on the stand. It was a heavy leather shoe with long laces. Jamal dusted it, applied polish, and began shining it carefully. Through the corner of his eye, he saw two policemen walking towards the jewellery shop across the street, as if searching for someone. He wanted to go and find out what had happened, but the customer suddenly lost his temper. “You, silly chap! Polish my shoes till they shine. And be quick about it.” Jamal was frightened. He bent his head and focused on the shoe. As soon as he finished the left shoe, he said, “The other shoe, sir.” The man put his other foot on the stand. Jamal dusted it quickly, applied polish, and began to shine it. He was about to tie the laces when he stopped. Something made him want to take one more look. He spread a little more polish on the shoe and rubbed it slowly, then bent his head lower, as if checking his work. ‘What can it be?’ Jamal bent his head to take a closer look. ‘My goodness!’ 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: Jamal’s heart raced as he realized what he had seen. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next moment, the man felt a sudden pull at his feet and crashed flat on his face. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Jamal’s heart raced as he realized what he had seen. Tucked inside the shoe’s inner lining was the shiny gold necklace stolen from the jewellery shop. It was this big man standing right before him who was the thief. Fear swept over Jamal, but he remembered his dream of being brave. He dared not shout, for the thief would hurt him at once. An idea flashed through his mind. While polishing the shoe, he secretly tied the two long shoelaces of the thief’s shoes tightly together without being noticed. He kept calm and pretended to finish his work quietly. The next moment, the man felt a sudden pull at his feet and crashed flat on his face. Before he could struggle to stand up, Jamal shouted loudly to draw the policemen’s attention. Hearing the cry, the two policemen rushed over immediately. They caught the thief and found the hidden gold necklace in his shoe. Praised by the officers, Jamal smiled. He finally understood that true bravery didn’t depend on strong muscles. Even a thin ordinary boy could do something heroic. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了擦鞋男孩贾马尔智擒藏项链小偷的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写贾马尔发现鞋内项链，心生巧计悄悄系紧小偷鞋带。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写小偷被鞋带绊倒，贾马尔呼救引来警察，成功抓住小偷。 2. 续写线索：发现赃物——心生妙计——系紧鞋带——小偷摔倒——引来警察——感悟勇敢 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①表扬：praise/commend ②微笑：smile/beam/grin 情绪类 ①害怕：fear/terror/dread ②冷静的：calm/composed/collected  【点睛】【高分句型1】Tucked inside the shoe’s inner lining was the shiny gold necklace stolen from the jewellery shop.

Like many people, I keep a folder of “daily games” on my phone. Inspired by friends online, I would like to share a few non-NYT games I now play every day. Map Tap is a simple geography game. You see a 3D globe with no country borders. You must tap as close as possible to a named place, such as “London.” The closer you are, the more points you get, and there are five questions each round. Without familiar lines on the map, it can be hard to find even places you know well. But playing it really improves your knowledge of world geography. TimeGuessr is similar. Each day brings five photos. For each one, you guess both the year and the place. The photos may show historical events or ordinary life. You study small clues — a shop sign, a license plate, or even people’s clothes — like a detective. It is a fun way to learn about the world. The Loop is my favorite morning game. You get 12 pictures and must arrange them in a circle so that each one connects to its neighbors. For example, a square-root symbol may link to a toolbox and to a carrot. The links can be playful, and the game is forgiving, which makes it perfect when you are still half awake. Clues by Sam is a logic puzzle. A grid shows people with names and jobs. Using given clues, you decide who is innocent and who is guilty. You cannot guess — every answer must be inferred from the clues. The hardest game I play is Catfishing. You see the Wikipedia categories of a page and try to name it. There are ten questions, and the answers are often very hidden. Even so, it is endlessly challenging. 1. What is difficult about playing MapTap? A. Remembering famous cities. B. Guessing the correct years. C. Spelling foreign place names. D. Finding places without borders. 2. What is special about Clues by Sam? A. Players must draw answers logically. B. It gets easier from Monday to Sunday. C. Players arrange pictures in a circle. D. It shows photos from around the world. 3. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To compare NYT games with other puzzles. B. To recommend some daily games. C. To teach readers how to play Wordle. D. To explain why puzzles beat social media. B A team of researchers has announced what they call the world’s first production-ready computer chip designed entirely by artificial intelligence. The chip, named Redwood, was created by Architect Labs, a laboratory focused on using AI to design custom chips. According to the team, only two human engineers were needed to write a high-level specification. After that, an AI system took over, completing the entire design and full verification (验证) of a working AI accelerator in less than two weeks. Traditionally, designing a modern chip is a slow and costly process. It can take years and hundreds of millions of dollars, carried out by large teams of specialists. Redwood changes this pattern. The AI system not only produced the chip’s circuit design but also wrote the firmware and custom software needed to run AI models such as Llama and Qwen. Currently running on an FPGA platform, Redwood can handle models with billions of parameters (参数). When mapped to Samsung’s 8nm process, it delivers 1.75 times the processing speed of NVIDIA’s Jetson Orin Nano while using about half the power, giving it 3.4 times better performance per watt. What makes Redwood unusual is its co-design approach. Instead of forcing software to fit pre-built hardware, the AI improved the chip’s circuits, firmware, and core code together around the needs of AI workloads. This creates a feedback loop: better AI models inform better hardware, and more efficient hardware enables better AI. Industry experts see this as a turning point. Sunil Shenoy, a former senior Intel executive, said Redwood represents a real paradigm shift, making capabilities once limited to a few giants available at an amazing speed. While challenges remain in scaling such systems, the achievement suggests that the boundary between designing chips and using AI to design them is beginning to disappear. 4. What did the AI systems do for Redwood? A. It wrote the chip’s specification. B. It handled the whole design process. C. It evaluated the final cost. D. It named the new chip. 5. What does Redwood’s co-design approach show? A. Hardware should come before software. B. Software matters more than hardware. C. Traditional chip are easier to design. D. AI and hardware improve each other. 6. The phrase “paradigm shift” in Para 4 is closest in meaning to ________. A. a sharp rise in the speed of chip production B. a complete change in how things are done C. a breakthrough driven by a few industry giants D. a new design method that reduces the cost of chips 7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A New AI Chip with Better Power Efficiency B. Redwood: The First AI-Designed Chip C. How AI is Reshaping the Chip Industry D. The Two-Week Project Behind a Faster Chip C The story of English is often told as a triumph: a minor Germanic dialect grew into the most widely used language on Earth. Yet English was, in a sense, born twice — and its second birth came after a near-death experience. When the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes crossed the North Sea in the fifth century, they encountered a Britain that had been a Roman province for nearly four centuries. The native Celtic-speaking Britons were not wiped out but largely displaced, marginalized, or absorbed. Crucially, they left remarkably few traces on the language of their conquerors. Old English vocabulary for governance, warfare, and daily life is overwhelmingly Germanic; Celtic borrowed words number in dozens, not thousands. The few Celtic words that survived are words of landscape and nursery, not of law, religion, or power. Then came the second birth — on the tip of a Norman sword. In 1066, William the Conqueror’s victory at Hastings established a French-speaking ruling class in England. For nearly three centuries, English was the language of the conquered: the peasant, the servant, the outlaw. French was the language of court, law, and literature; Latin remained the language of the Church and learning. English survived not because it was powerful but because it was spoken by the majority — the ordinary people whose labor fed the kingdom. The result was not the victory of English over French but their combination. Middle English emerged as a mixture. Germanic bones, Romance flesh. The vocabulary of power — government, justice, parliament, sovereign — came from French; the vocabulary of the hearth — house, bread, child, love — remained English. This duality (双重性) remains today. We raise cattle (Anglo-Saxon) but eat beef (French boeuf); we live in houses (English) but reside in mansions (French). The linguistic contact of 1066 is reflected in our modern vocabulary. What does the origin of English teach us? English rose not because it was elegant but because its speakers, through accident and disaster, became powerful. Its Celtic ghosts and French rulers remind us that every language is a graveyard of vanished peoples — and a proof of the unpredictable politics of survival. 8. What can we learn about the Celtic language’s influence on Old English? A. It provided daily life vocabulary. B. It left a small number of borrowed words. C. It disappeared after Germanic invasions. D. It was preserved in Church documents. 9. Why did English survive after the Norman Conquest? A. It was easier to learn than French. B. It was protected by the Norman kings. C. It was used in law and literature. D. It was spoken by most ordinary people. 10. The author uses the example of “cattle/ beef” mainly to show that ________. A. French words sound more elegant B. the Norman Conquest shaped English words C. social classes are reflected in modern English D. old French ruled over local dialects 11. What does the author mainly agree with about English? A. It won for its inner beauty and flexibility. B. It grew from peaceful cultural exchanges. C. It rose for historical accidents and power relations. D. Historians ignore Celtic influence on it. D Food markets have experienced considerable instability in recent years. Global warming is causing droughts, soil loss 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 agri-tech companies reached $16.2 billion in 2025. Of this, $9 billion went to new research into increasing crop output, 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 (杀虫剂) and fertilisers that have controlled 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 crop output 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 stressed about 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 remove harmful substances. C. To strengthen natural resistance. D. To protect healthy plants. 14. What does “precision agriculture” contribute to? A. Accurate market forecasting. B. Improved crop storage methods. 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2.5分，满分12.5分) 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。选项中有两项多余选项。 The Romantic Poets: Prophets (先知) of a Broken World The Romantic movement in English poetry, which flourished roughly between 1798 and 1832, is often remembered for its love of nature and its celebration of emotion. Yet this popular image is only half the truth. ____16____ The Romantics were not merely dreamers who fled from reality; they were, in many ways, the first modern writers to confront the spiritual crisis of an industrializing world. The publication of Lyrical Ballads in 1798, a joint work by William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, is usually taken as the starting point of the movement. In his preface to the second edition, Wordsworth declared that poetry should be written in “the real language of men” and should focus on “incidents and situations from common life”. ____17____ It was a democratic (民主的) revolution in literature, one that challenged the refined, artificial style of the eighteenth century and insisted that ordinary people and ordinary speech could be fit subjects for great poetry. Wordsworth himself displays the Romantic faith in nature as a source of moral and spiritual renewal. In poems such as Tintern Abbey, he describes how the memory of natural beauty can restore the mind in moments of “hardships” and dull routines of daily life.”. ____18____ Coleridge, by contrast, was drawn to the mysterious, the supernatural, and the irrational. His poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan explore guilt, imagination, and the mysterious. It was this darker, more visionary side of Romanticism that later poets such as Poe and Baudelaire would inherit (继承). Together, the two poets represented two sides of the Romantic temperament (气质): one rooted in the visible world, the other reaching toward the invisible. The second generation of Romantics — Byron, Shelley, and Keats — was more rebellious (反叛的) and more tragic. Byron became a European celebrity, a symbol of rebellious individuality; Shelley was dismissed from Oxford for his atheism and later drowned at sea; Keats died of a serious lung disease at twenty-five. ____19____ Their short, intense lives seemed to embody the very intensity they sought in poetry. Today the Romantics are often taught as a reaction against the Enlightenment’s faith in reason. ____20____ They did not reject reason so much as insist that it was not enough — that without imagination, sympathy, and a sense of the sacred, human beings would lose their capacity to feel, and with it, their humanity. A. But this too is an oversimplification. B. Nature, for the Romantics, was often a source of comfort rather than fear. C. They lived and wrote so urgently that their work feels permanently young. D. The movement was born in an age of revolution, war, and rapid social change. E. Many of them devoted themselves to social reform movements of their time. F. For him, nature was not a decoration but a living presence, a teacher, and a healer. G. This emphasis on common language and common life broke the literary conventions of the day. 第三部分 完形填空 (共15小题；每题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Every morning, Kofi woke up with a quiet sigh.

He lost his father when he was very young and now lived in a slum (贫民窟) with his mother and sister. After school, he would sit near a cinema hall and polish shoes for a living. Like many boys his age, Jamal had a dream. He loved hero movies. Every evening, after work, he would stand outside the cinema hall and stare at the posters. Brave men in shining armour (盔甲), clever detectives, fearless policemen. “One day,” he would whisper to himself, “I will do something brave too.” But deep down, he knew it was a foolish dream. He was small and thin, nothing like those muscular heroes on the posters. His days were filled with the same dull routine: dusting shoes, spreading polish, brushing hard until they shone, then holding out his hand for a few coins. He was just a poor boy in a big city, ordinary, invisible, and forgotten. One hot day, Jamal was counting his earnings when he overheard a passerby say, “A thief has just escaped from the jewellery shop across the street. He stole a gold necklace.” Before Jamal could move, a customer stopped him. “Boy, polish my shoes nicely,” the man said, looking at his wristwatch. The man was huge. He stood over Jamal like a tower, his shoulders wide as a door, his arms thick and heavy. His hands were so large that they could have covered Jamal’s whole face. One blow from those fists, Jamal thought, and he would not get up again. Jamal quietly put away his curiosity and knelt down to polish the man’s shoes. The man put his left shoe on the stand. It was a heavy leather shoe with long laces. Jamal dusted it, applied polish, and began shining it carefully. Through the corner of his eye, he saw two policemen walking towards the jewellery shop across the street, as if searching for someone. He wanted to go and find out what had happened, but the customer suddenly lost his temper. “You, silly chap! Polish my shoes till they shine. And be quick about it.” Jamal was frightened. He bent his head and focused on the shoe. As soon as he finished the left shoe, he said, “The other shoe, sir.” The man put his other foot on the stand. Jamal dusted it quickly, applied polish, and began to shine it. He was about to tie the laces when he stopped. Something made him want to take one more look. He spread a little more polish on the shoe and rubbed it slowly, then bent his head lower, as if checking his work. ‘What can it be?’ Jamal bent his head to take a closer look. ‘My goodness!’ 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: Jamal’s heart raced as he realized what he had seen. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next moment, the man felt a sudden pull at his feet and crashed flat on his face. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
