B
Erin, a mom, looked at me and said, “Dr. Jeff, what am I missing here? I was being completely reasonable with Paige.” Yes, Erin was being reasonable as she replayed the recent chaotic episode featuring a 12-year-old Paige.
The incident Erin was referring to was Paige’s recent 12th birthday party. What fired Paige’s anger? It was that her newly acquired birthday present, her new phone, came with some unexpected screen usage controls and time boundaries.
Erin was shocked to see that her ordinary limit-setting had turned into a blow-up with Paige. Erin learned a lesson: sometimes being super reasonable at the wrong time can make already upset children even more emotionally inflamed (激动). That’s because when children become intensely upset, their nervous systems go on a big-time emotional surge (猛烈爆发) before the thinking part of their brains can catch up.
As I explain in my book, 24 Hours To A Less Reactive Child, many caring parents start to talk more when their child is emotionally struggling. So if you picture doors slamming, refusing to speak, or totally shutting down, those aren’t times to say certain things. Unless you want to pour fuel on the reactivity fire, don’t say things like “You know why I said no.” or “Can you please just listen?”
These sound like sensible sentences, but the problem is that you’re appealing to your child’s reactive brain at a time when it can’t listen. In short, when your child is emotionally surging and you try to explain with logic, you add more pressure because they can’t truly process what you are saying.
To help re-regulate your reactive child’s emotions, first help them name them. For example, saying “You sound really upset right now” is something they can hear. Next, think less is more: lower your volume, lower your intensity, and slow your speaking pace. Last, hold your boundary without overexplaining it. For example, instead of keeping explaining and fueling Paige’s anger, Erin should simply say “The phone stays downstairs tonight”.
4. Why did Paige get angry?
A. Her mom was absent from her party.
B. She was addicted to electronic devices.
C. Her mom set limits on her new phone use.
D. She didn’t receive any birthday present.
5. What does the author think of reasoning with an upset child?
A. It can make things worse. B. It is a win-win solution.
C. It requires more logic. D. It is temporarily effective.
6. Which belongs to seemingly sensible sentences mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. You sound really upset right now.
B. We’ve already discussed this.
C. The phone stays downstairs tonight.
D. You can use your phone at any time.
7. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. How parents can give clear explanations.
B. How parents should calm themselves down.
C. How to deal with an emotionally struggling child.
D. How to persuade an annoyed kid to apologize.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】文章指出孩子情绪爆发时讲道理往往无效,甚至会火上浇油。建议家长先帮孩子命名情绪,降低语速和音量,在保持边界的同时避免过度解释,先处理心情再处理事情。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“What fired Paige’s anger? It was that her newly acquired birthday present, her new phone, came with some unexpected screen usage controls and time boundaries. (是什么点燃了Paige的怒火?是她新收到的生日礼物——新手机,附带了一些意想不到的屏幕使用控制和时间限制。)”可知,Paige生气是因为妈妈对她的新手机使用设定了限制。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“sometimes being super reasonable at the wrong time can make already upset children even more emotionally inflamed (有时在不恰当的时候过于讲道理会让已经心烦意乱的孩子情绪更加激动)”以及第五段中的“when your child is emotionally surging and you try to explain with logic, you add more pressure because they can’t truly process what you are saying (当孩子情绪爆发时,你试图用逻辑解释,反而会增加压力,因为他们无法真正处理你说的话)”可知,作者认为在孩子情绪激动时讲道理会使情况变得更糟。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段末尾提到的例子“don’t say things like ‘You know why I said no.’ or ‘Can you please just listen?’ (不要说‘你知道我为什么说不’或‘你能不能听我说?’)”以及第五段开头“These sound like sensible sentences(这些话听起来很合理)”可知,选项B“We’ve already discussed this. (我们已经讨论过这个问题了。)”与文中提到的“你知道我为什么说不”在语气和逻辑上相似,都属于看似合理但在孩子情绪激动时不宜说的话。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“To help re-regulate your reactive child’s emotions, first help them name them. (为了帮助调节你情绪波动的孩子的情绪,首先要帮他命名这些情绪。)”以及“Next, think less is more: lower your volume, lower your intensity, and slow your speaking pace. Last, hold your boundary without overexplaining it. (接下来,秉持少即是多的原则:降低音量,降低说话的强度,放慢语速。最后,明确自己的界限,但不要过度解释。)”可知,本段主要讲述了当孩子情绪失控时,家长应该如何正确应对和处理。C选项“How to deal with an emotionally struggling child. (如何应对情绪困扰的孩子。)”符合题意。
C
In some of medicine’s toughest cases, the hardest part is not choosing the right diagnosis (诊断) — it is thinking of the diagnosis at all. Artificial intelligence (AI) may now be better at this than human doctors, according to a new study.
Researchers led by Harvard biomedical scientist Arjun Manrai tested OpenAI’s o1-preview reasoning model on a variety of medical cases. These included classic symptom sets used in medical training as well as real-world data from 76 emergency room patients in Boston. The results, published in Science, showed that the AI model was more likely than physicians to list the correct diagnosis — or something very close to it — among its possible answers. In some cases, the AI identified a dangerous flesh-eating (食肉性) infection 12 to 24 hours before human doctors took notice.
Not all researchers are convinced that this means we should trust AI with our diagnoses. The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) points out that in the real-world test, the AI only outperformed two internal medicine doctors. Emergency physicians receive special training and might have done better. Equally importantly, AI reasoning is still very different from human clinical reasoning.
Arya Rao, a researcher at Harvard Medical School who was not involved in the study, points out that “clinical reasoning” does not mean the same thing as “model reasoning.” Her team tested 21 AI models and found that even the newest ones struggle when faced with several uncertain diagnoses. AI models based on large language models tend to jump to conclusions. “Their reasoning is unreliable precisely where uncertainty and nuance (细微差别) matter most,” Rao and her team wrote.
Despite their different findings, both research teams agree on one thing: AI should assist doctors, not replace them. Manrai believes that human patients want human guidance when making difficult treatment decisions. Rao adds that many people lack access to medical care, and AI could someday become “a great equalizer.” Both groups call for more research and carefully designed clinical trials before AI is widely used in medical settings. For now, the message is clear — AI shows great promise, but it is not yet ready to decide on its own.
8. How does the author present the findings of Manrai’s study?
A. By defining key medical terms clearly.
B. By comparing AI with human doctors.
C. By providing background information.
D. By quoting famous experts in the field.
9. What is the ACEP’s attitude towards AI diagnosis?
A. Favorable. B. Uninterested. C. Skeptical. D. Ambiguous.
10. What can we learn from Arya Rao’s research?
A. AI’s reasoning has obvious weaknesses.
B. All AI models rely on clinical experience.
C. AI draws conclusions after careful thinking.
D. New AI models handle uncertain cases effectively.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Medical AI still has a long way to go.
B. AI will replace doctors in the near future.
C. Clinical trials on AI have already finished.
D. Ordinary people refuse to use AI in medicine.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】文章探讨AI在医疗诊断中的潜力与局限。研究显示AI在部分病例中优于医生,但在不确定情境下推理不可靠。学界共识是AI应辅助而非替代医生,其广泛应用仍需更多严谨的临床验证。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“The results, published in Science, showed that the AI model was more likely than physicians to list the correct diagnosis — or something very close to it — among its possible answers. In some cases, the AI identified a dangerous flesh-eating infection 12 to 24 hours before human doctors took notice.(发表在《科学》上的研究结果表明,该人工智能模型比医生更有可能在可能的答案中列出正确的诊断,或非常接近的诊断。在某些病例中,AI比人类医生提前12到24小时识别出危险的食肉性感染。)”可知,作者是通过将AI的表现与人类医生进行对比,来呈现Manrai的研究发现的。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Not all researchers are convinced that this means we should trust AI with our diagnoses.(并非所有研究人员都确信这意味着我们应该信任AI进行诊断。)”以及“Equally importantly, AI reasoning is still very different from human clinical reasoning.(AI的推理与人类的临床推理仍有很大不同。)”可知,ACEP对AI诊断持怀疑态度,认为其推理方式与人类不同,且测试对象存在局限性。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Her team tested 21 AI models and found that even the newest ones struggle when faced with several uncertain diagnoses. AI models based on large language models tend to jump to conclusions. ‘Their reasoning is unreliable precisely where uncertainty and nuance matter most,’ Rao and her team wrote.(她的团队测试了21个AI模型,发现即使是最新的模型在面对多个不确定的诊断时也会遇到困难。基于大语言模型的AI模型往往草率下结论。Rao及其团队写道:‘恰恰在不确定性和细微差别最重要的地方,它们的推理是不可靠的。’)”可知,从Arya Rao的研究中我们可以了解到AI的推理存在明显的弱点。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Both groups call for more research and carefully designed clinical trials before AI is widely used in medical settings. For now, the message is clear — AI shows great promise, but it is not yet ready to decide on its own.(两个研究团队都呼吁,在AI被广泛应用于医疗环境之前,需要进行更多的研究和精心设计的临床试验。目前,信息很明确——AI显示出巨大的潜力,但尚未准备好独立做出决定。)”可知,AI在医疗领域的广泛应用还需要更多的研究和验证,说明医疗AI还有很长的路要走。
D
Our solar system orbits the Milky Way galaxy’s center once about every 210 million years, traveling along at around 240 kilometers per second — an astonishing rate we don’t feel because the entire system moves at the same constant speed. But a new study suggests our solar system is a laggard in the universe compared with one system in our galaxy that was somehow accelerated to a speed of 541 kilometers a second, making it the swiftest planetary system ever found. “This speed was extremely high and kind of shocking,” says astrophysicist Terry. It introduces a series of questions about the survivability of these types of systems.
This galactic speed “monster” appears to center on a red dwarf star (红矮星) which is smaller and less bright than our sun. It’s about 24,500 light years from Earth and some 1,500 light years away from our galaxy’s center. Astronomers discovered the star and a suspected accompanying planet after a 2011 “microlensing” event called MOA-2011-BLG-262, when the system passed in front of a background star and bent the latter’s light. Terry and his colleagues observed the system again in 2021. They found that its known planet is most likely a gas giant with about 29 times Earth’s mass that orbits its star at a distance between those at which Venus and Earth orbit our sun.
The researchers also mapped the system’s position in the 2021 data relative to where it was about a decade prior, revealing how fast it traveled. It might be a hyper-speed star system, an example of a rare class of astronomical objects that have been sped up by past encounters with other stars’ gravity — or even by a gravitational slingshot (弹弓) from the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. These objects travel faster than 500 kilometers a second, and the speediest known one travels at over 2,000 kilometers a second.
“It’s an extraordinary category of stars,” Terry says, estimating that the system in this study more than doubled its speed after its own dramatic encounter. “No previous hyper-speed stars have been found with planets. This might open up a new study of the origin and evolution of planets around very high-speed stars,” he adds.
12. What does the underlined word “laggard” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. Something moving slowly. B. Something becoming famous.
C. Something traveling endlessly. D. Something looking incomparable.
13. What can we learn about the “monster” from paragraph 2?
A. Its star is much brighter than our sun.
B. Its planet’s mass is identical to Venus’s.
C. It’s a system discovered through its own light.
D. It’s closer to the galactic center than Earth.
14. What does Terry think of the discovery?
A. It is accidental. B. It is common. C. It is pioneering. D. It is strange.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Milky Way Galaxy’s Center
B. The Solar System’s Bright Stars
C. The Fastest Astronomical Objects
D. The Planetary System Speed Record
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了天文学家发现了银河系中速度最快的行星系统,该系统的运行速度远超太阳系,引发了关于此类系统生存性、行星起源与演化的一系列新研究。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Our solar system orbits the Milky Way galaxy’s center once about every 210 million years, traveling along at around 240 kilometers per second — an astonishing rate we don’t feel because the entire system moves at the same constant speed. But a new study suggests our solar system is a laggard in the universe compared with one system in our galaxy that was somehow accelerated to a speed of 541 kilometers a second, making it the swiftest planetary system ever found.(太阳系绕银河系中心运行一周约需2.1亿年,运行速度约为每秒240公里——这一惊人速度我们无法感知,因为整个系统以相同的恒定速度运动。但一项新研究表明,与银河系中一个被加速到每秒541公里的行星系统相比,我们的太阳系是宇宙中的laggard,该系统是迄今为止发现的速度最快的行星系统。)”可知,太阳系速度约240公里/秒,新发现系统速度达541公里/秒,二者对比能看出“laggard”表示“移动缓慢的事物”。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“It’s about 24,500 light years from Earth and some 1,500 light years away from our galaxy’s center.(它距离地球约24500光年,距离银河系中心约1500光年。)”结合地球距离银河系中心约26000光年的常识,可知该系统比地球更靠近银河系中心。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““No previous hyper-speed stars have been found with planets. This might open up a new study of the origin and evolution of planets around very high-speed stars,” he adds.(“此前从未发现过带有行星的超高速恒星。这可能会开启对超高速恒星周围行星起源与演化的新研究。”他补充道。)”可知,Terry认为该发现是首次发现带有行星的超高速恒星系统,能开辟新的研究方向,属于开创性的发现。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But a new study suggests our solar system is a laggard in the universe compared with one system in our galaxy that was somehow accelerated to a speed of 541 kilometers a second, making it the swiftest planetary system ever found.(但一项新研究表明,与银河系中一个被加速到每秒541公里的行星系统相比,我们的太阳系是宇宙中的移动缓慢的事物,该系统是迄今为止发现的速度最快的行星系统。)”以及全文围绕该速度最快的行星系统展开介绍其特征、发现过程、研究意义等内容,可知本文核心是介绍这一打破速度纪录的行星系统,D选项“The Planetary System Speed Record(行星系统速度纪录)”最能概括全文主旨。故选D。
第二节 七选五 (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。
Putting things off costs a lot. One study published in 2013 ranked 22,053 people on a procrastination (拖延) scale of one to five. Each increase of one point was associated with a drop of nearly $15,000 in annual earnings. A study of 3,525 Swedish university students published in 2023 also found that procrastinators more likely to suffer anxiety, stress and loneliness. ____16____
____17____ One set is known as mental contrasting with implementation intentions (MCII). Popularised in a number of smartphone apps, the idea is simple: picture the benefits of achieving a goal; contrast that image with the main obstacle; and picture a strategy to overcome it. In two randomised trials reported in 2020 undergraduates were given online MCII exercises designed to reduce the delaying of bedtime, which research has linked to procrastination in general. They missed their intended bedtimes by around 38 minutes less each night than those in a control group given advice about healthy sleeping habits.
Exercise shows promise too. A Chinese trial published in March assessed procrastination in 77 male teenagers. They were randomly assigned to 12 weeks of strength training, high-intensity interval training, or a combination of the two. ____18____ An earlier study of 564 Chinese university students found that the most physically active also procrastinated less. The researchers speculated that overcoming the stress gave them a “sense of mastery” that boosted confidence and motivation.
These days, opportunities for procrastination are greater than before. Many people work from home, out of the boss’s sight. ____19____ In one review published in 2022, each of the 18 studies assessed linked excessive scrolling (滚屏) to procrastination. ____20____ Lack of sleep blocks executive function, leading to more failures of self-regulation. It would be helpful if the scientists involved could stop procrastination.
A. Mental exercises appear to help.
B. Smartphones often delay bedtime, too.
C. Smartphones offer endless distractions.
D. Here are some ways to stop procrastinating.
E. Then there is the question of diet and other habits.
F. They showed “significant reductions” in putting things off.
G. Procrastinators are more likely to delay medical treatment.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. F 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍拖延带来的各类危害,同时列举能够改善拖延的有效方法。
【16题详解】
根据上文“One study published in 2013 ranked 22,053 people on a procrastination (拖延) scale of one to five. Each increase of one point was associated with a drop of nearly $15,000 in annual earnings. A study of 3,525 Swedish university students published in 2023 also found that procrastinators more likely to suffer anxiety, stress and loneliness.(2013年发表的一项研究对22053人进行1‑5分的拖延测评。分数每升高1分,年收入就会减少近15000美元。2023年一项针对3525名瑞典大学生的研究也发现,拖延者更容易焦虑、有压力以及感到孤独。)”可知,本段一直在列举拖延造成的种种不良后果,本空需要继续补充拖延带来的危害。D选项“Here are some ways to stop procrastinating.(以下是一些克服拖延的方法。)”继第一段先讲拖延的危害:收入下降、焦虑、压力、孤独。接下来文章转入“如何解决拖延”,引出下文的方法介绍。故选D。
【17题详解】
根据下文“One set is known as mental contrasting with implementation intentions (MCII). Popularised in a number of smartphone apps, the idea is simple: picture the benefits of achieving a goal; contrast that image with the main obstacle; and picture a strategy to overcome it.(其中一种方法叫作心理对照加执行意图(MCII),在多款手机应用中广为流传,原理很简单:想象实现目标的好处,将该设想和主要阻碍做对比,并设想克服阻碍的对策。)”可知,下文具体介绍一种心理层面的改善方法,本空总起本段,引出心理练习对改善拖延有帮助。A选项“Mental exercises appear to help.(心理练习似乎能够起到作用。)”总领本段内容,和后文MCII心理方法形成总分对应关系。
【18题详解】
根据上文“A Chinese trial published in March assessed procrastination in 77 male teenagers. They were randomly assigned to 12 weeks of strength training, high‑intensity interval training, or a combination of the two.(三月份发表的一项中国试验对77名男性青少年的拖延情况展开评估。受试者被随机分为三组,分别接受12周力量训练、高强度间歇训练或是两种训练结合。)”可知,此处介绍运动干预的实验设置,空格处应填写该实验得到的实验结果。F选项“They showed “significant reductions” in putting things off.(他们在拖延行为上出现了“显著下降”。)”中代词They指代上文中参与实验的77名男性青少年,交代实验得出的积极结果,衔接上下文。
【19题详解】
根据上文“These days, opportunities for procrastination are greater than before. Many people work from home, out of the boss’s sight.(如今,诱发拖延的机会比以往更多。很多人居家办公,不在老板的监督之下。)”以及下文“In one review published in 2022, each of the 18 studies assessed linked excessive scrolling (滚屏) to procrastination.(2022年一篇综述表明,所分析的18项研究全部证明过度刷手机和拖延存在关联。)”可知,上下文说明当下容易出现拖延的外部诱因,下文关键词excessive scrolling对应手机带来的干扰。C选项“Smartphones offer endless distractions.(手机带来无穷无尽的干扰因素。)”承上启下,引出后文刷手机造成拖延的相关论述。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Lack of sleep blocks executive function, leading to more failures of self‑regulation.(睡眠不足会抑制执行功能,进一步造成更多自我管控失效。)”可知,空格内容应当引出睡眠相关话题。B选项“Smartphones often delay bedtime, too.(手机往往也会推迟就寝时间。)”衔接上文中手机带来的干扰,引出手机导致睡觉时间延后,顺理成章过渡到后面对睡眠不足危害的讲解,逻辑连贯。

Reconnecting with Reality

Nowadays, with the popularity of AI assistants, some students are overly dependent on chatting with them during holidays, ignoring face-to-face communication with family and friends. This phenomenon not only weakens our real-life relationships but also limits our social skills.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My cousin Daniel was the kind of person who lit up every room he entered. Two years older than me, he was tall, athletic, and effortlessly charming. At family gatherings, everyone clustered (聚集) around him, laughing at his jokes and listening to his college stories. I, on the other hand, would sit in the corner, quietly observing, my own stories feeling too small to share.
When I was sixteen, my parents sent me to stay with Daniel’s family for the summer. I was both excited and nervous. Maybe some of his confidence would finally rub off on me. Daniel was kind enough — he took me to his favorite spots around town, introduced me to his friends, and taught me to play basketball. But every time I tried to join a conversation, my words came out awkward and clumsy. I felt like a shadow trailing behind a sun.
One afternoon, Daniel threw a small party at his house. The backyard was crowded. I found a quiet spot under a tree and pulled out the small notebook I always carried. I wrote down what I saw — a girl nervously fixing her hair before talking to a boy, Daniel’s loud laugh echoing across the lawn and sunlight filtering through the leaves and dancing on the grass. It was just something I did. I never thought much of it.
Later that evening when most guests had left, Aunt Sarah sat down beside me. She noticed my notebook and asked if she could see it. I hesitated, then handed it over. She read quietly for a few minutes. When she looked up, her eyes were soft and thoughtful. “Lily,” she said gently, “the way you see the world is remarkable. You notice things that everyone else misses. That’s not a small thing. That’s a gift.” I blinked, not sure how to respond. A gift? I had always thought of my quietness as a weakness.
“Daniel is wonderful,” she continued, “but there are many people like him, who shine brightly on the outside. But someone who can truly see others — who can capture their stories in words — that’s rare. Don’t ever try to be someone else, Lily. The world already has a Daniel. It needs a YOU.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Aunt Sarah’s words kept echoing in my mind long after that party.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the end of the summer, I showed Daniel what I had been working on.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考答案
Aunt Sarah’s words kept echoing in my mind long after that party. For the first time, I didn’t feel the need to shrink into the background. I kept holding my notebook, and started writing more intentionally, including little details of people and moments around me that no one else seemed to catch. Slowly, I stopped seeing my love of writing and observing as something to hide. Instead, it felt like a secret that slowly helped me find my own voice.
At the end of the summer, I showed Daniel what I had been working on. It was a collection of all my summer notes, with a page specially written for him, describing not just his charming public laugh, but the hidden gentle side only I had noticed. Daniel read it slowly, his eyes wide with surprise. “I never knew I looked like that in others’ eyes,” he said softly, grinning. That summer I didn’t “catch” Daniel’s confidence, but I found my own unique shine: my quiet eye for the world was the very thing that made me special.

Erin, a mom, looked at me and said, “Dr. Jeff, what am I missing here? I was being completely reasonable with Paige.” Yes, Erin was being reasonable as she replayed the recent chaotic episode featuring a 12-year-old Paige.
The incident Erin was referring to was Paige’s recent 12th birthday party. What fired Paige’s anger? It was that her newly acquired birthday present, her new phone, came with some unexpected screen usage controls and time boundaries.
Erin was shocked to see that her ordinary limit-setting had turned into a blow-up with Paige. Erin learned a lesson: sometimes being super reasonable at the wrong time can make already upset children even more emotionally inflamed (激动). That’s because when children become intensely upset, their nervous systems go on a big-time emotional surge (猛烈爆发) before the thinking part of their brains can catch up.
As I explain in my book, 24 Hours To A Less Reactive Child, many caring parents start to talk more when their child is emotionally struggling. So if you picture doors slamming, refusing to speak, or totally shutting down, those aren’t times to say certain things. Unless you want to pour fuel on the reactivity fire, don’t say things like “You know why I said no.” or “Can you please just listen?”
These sound like sensible sentences, but the problem is that you’re appealing to your child’s reactive brain at a time when it can’t listen. In short, when your child is emotionally surging and you try to explain with logic, you add more pressure because they can’t truly process what you are saying.
To help re-regulate your reactive child’s emotions, first help them name them. For example, saying “You sound really upset right now” is something they can hear. Next, think less is more: lower your volume, lower your intensity, and slow your speaking pace. Last, hold your boundary without overexplaining it. For example, instead of keeping explaining and fueling Paige’s anger, Erin should simply say “The phone stays downstairs tonight”.
4. Why did Paige get angry?
A. Her mom was absent from her party.
B. She was addicted to electronic devices.
C. Her mom set limits on her new phone use.
D. She didn’t receive any birthday present.
5. What does the author think of reasoning with an upset child?
A. It can make things worse. B. It is a win-win solution.
C. It requires more logic. D. It is temporarily effective.
6. Which belongs to seemingly sensible sentences mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. You sound really upset right now.
B. We’ve already discussed this.
C. The phone stays downstairs tonight.
D. You can use your phone at any time.
7. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. How parents can give clear explanations.
B. How parents should calm themselves down.
C. How to deal with an emotionally struggling child.
D. How to persuade an annoyed kid to apologize.
C
In some of medicine’s toughest cases, the hardest part is not choosing the right diagnosis (诊断) — it is thinking of the diagnosis at all. Artificial intelligence (AI) may now be better at this than human doctors, according to a new study.
Researchers led by Harvard biomedical scientist Arjun Manrai tested OpenAI’s o1-preview reasoning model on a variety of medical cases. These included classic symptom sets used in medical training as well as real-world data from 76 emergency room patients in Boston. The results, published in Science, showed that the AI model was more likely than physicians to list the correct diagnosis — or something very close to it — among its possible answers. In some cases, the AI identified a dangerous flesh-eating (食肉性) infection 12 to 24 hours before human doctors took notice.
Not all researchers are convinced that this means we should trust AI with our diagnoses. The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) points out that in the real-world test, the AI only outperformed two internal medicine doctors. Emergency physicians receive special training and might have done better. Equally importantly, AI reasoning is still very different from human clinical reasoning.
Arya Rao, a researcher at Harvard Medical School who was not involved in the study, points out that “clinical reasoning” does not mean the same thing as “model reasoning.” Her team tested 21 AI models and found that even the newest ones struggle when faced with several uncertain diagnoses. AI models based on large language models tend to jump to conclusions. “Their reasoning is unreliable precisely where uncertainty and nuance (细微差别) matter most,” Rao and her team wrote.
Despite their different findings, both research teams agree on one thing: AI should assist doctors, not replace them. Manrai believes that human patients want human guidance when making difficult treatment decisions. Rao adds that many people lack access to medical care, and AI could someday become “a great equalizer.” Both groups call for more research and carefully designed clinical trials before AI is widely used in medical settings. For now, the message is clear — AI shows great promise, but it is not yet ready to decide on its own.
8. How does the author present the findings of Manrai’s study?
A. By defining key medical terms clearly.
B. By comparing AI with human doctors.
C. By providing background information.
D. By quoting famous experts in the field.
9. What is the ACEP’s attitude towards AI diagnosis?
A. Favorable. B. Uninterested. C. Skeptical. D. Ambiguous.
10. What can we learn from Arya Rao’s research?
A. AI’s reasoning has obvious weaknesses.
B. All AI models rely on clinical experience.
C. AI draws conclusions after careful thinking.
D. New AI models handle uncertain cases effectively.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Medical AI still has a long way to go.
B. AI will replace doctors in the near future.
C. Clinical trials on AI have already finished.
D. Ordinary people refuse to use AI in medicine.
D
Our solar system orbits the Milky Way galaxy’s center once about every 210 million years, traveling along at around 240 kilometers per second — an astonishing rate we don’t feel because the entire system moves at the same constant speed. But a new study suggests our solar system is a laggard in the universe compared with one system in our galaxy that was somehow accelerated to a speed of 541 kilometers a second, making it the swiftest planetary system ever found. “This speed was extremely high and kind of shocking,” says astrophysicist Terry. It introduces a series of questions about the survivability of these types of systems.
This galactic speed “monster” appears to center on a red dwarf star (红矮星) which is smaller and less bright than our sun. It’s about 24,500 light years from Earth and some 1,500 light years away from our galaxy’s center. Astronomers discovered the star and a suspected accompanying planet after a 2011 “microlensing” event called MOA-2011-BLG-262, when the system passed in front of a background star and bent the latter’s light. Terry and his colleagues observed the system again in 2021. They found that its known planet is most likely a gas giant with about 29 times Earth’s mass that orbits its star at a distance between those at which Venus and Earth orbit our sun.
The researchers also mapped the system’s position in the 2021 data relative to where it was about a decade prior, revealing how fast it traveled. It might be a hyper-speed star system, an example of a rare class of astronomical objects that have been sped up by past encounters with other stars’ gravity — or even by a gravitational slingshot (弹弓) from the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. These objects travel faster than 500 kilometers a second, and the speediest known one travels at over 2,000 kilometers a second.
“It’s an extraordinary category of stars,” Terry says, estimating that the system in this study more than doubled its speed after its own dramatic encounter. “No previous hyper-speed stars have been found with planets. This might open up a new study of the origin and evolution of planets around very high-speed stars,” he adds.
12. What does the underlined word “laggard” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. Something moving slowly. B. Something becoming famous.
C. Something traveling endlessly. D. Something looking incomparable.
13. What can we learn about the “monster” from paragraph 2?
A. Its star is much brighter than our sun.
B. Its planet’s mass is identical to Venus’s.
C. It’s a system discovered through its own light.
D. It’s closer to the galactic center than Earth.
14. What does Terry think of the discovery?
A. It is accidental. B. It is common. C. It is pioneering. D. It is strange.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Milky Way Galaxy’s Center
B. The Solar System’s Bright Stars
C. The Fastest Astronomical Objects
D. The Planetary System Speed Record

Putting things off costs a lot. One study published in 2013 ranked 22,053 people on a procrastination (拖延) scale of one to five. Each increase of one point was associated with a drop of nearly $15,000 in annual earnings. A study of 3,525 Swedish university students published in 2023 also found that procrastinators more likely to suffer anxiety, stress and loneliness. ____16____
____17____ One set is known as mental contrasting with implementation intentions (MCII). Popularised in a number of smartphone apps, the idea is simple: picture the benefits of achieving a goal; contrast that image with the main obstacle; and picture a strategy to overcome it. In two randomised trials reported in 2020 undergraduates were given online MCII exercises designed to reduce the delaying of bedtime, which research has linked to procrastination in general. They missed their intended bedtimes by around 38 minutes less each night than those in a control group given advice about healthy sleeping habits.
Exercise shows promise too. A Chinese trial published in March assessed procrastination in 77 male teenagers. They were randomly assigned to 12 weeks of strength training, high-intensity interval training, or a combination of the two. ____18____ An earlier study of 564 Chinese university students found that the most physically active also procrastinated less. The researchers speculated that overcoming the stress gave them a “sense of mastery” that boosted confidence and motivation.
These days, opportunities for procrastination are greater than before. Many people work from home, out of the boss’s sight. ____19____ In one review published in 2022, each of the 18 studies assessed linked excessive scrolling (滚屏) to procrastination. ____20____ Lack of sleep blocks executive function, leading to more failures of self-regulation. It would be helpful if the scientists involved could stop procrastination.
A. Mental exercises appear to help.
B. Smartphones often delay bedtime, too.
C. Smartphones offer endless distractions.
D. Here are some ways to stop procrastinating.
E. Then there is the question of diet and other habits.
F. They showed “significant reductions” in putting things off.
G. Procrastinators are more likely to delay medical treatment.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My cousin Daniel was the kind of person who lit up every room he entered. Two years older than me, he was tall, athletic, and effortlessly charming. At family gatherings, everyone clustered (聚集) around him, laughing at his jokes and listening to his college stories. I, on the other hand, would sit in the corner, quietly observing, my own stories feeling too small to share.
When I was sixteen, my parents sent me to stay with Daniel’s family for the summer. I was both excited and nervous. Maybe some of his confidence would finally rub off on me. Daniel was kind enough — he took me to his favorite spots around town, introduced me to his friends, and taught me to play basketball. But every time I tried to join a conversation, my words came out awkward and clumsy. I felt like a shadow trailing behind a sun.
One afternoon, Daniel threw a small party at his house. The backyard was crowded. I found a quiet spot under a tree and pulled out the small notebook I always carried. I wrote down what I saw — a girl nervously fixing her hair before talking to a boy, Daniel’s loud laugh echoing across the lawn and sunlight filtering through the leaves and dancing on the grass. It was just something I did. I never thought much of it.
Later that evening when most guests had left, Aunt Sarah sat down beside me. She noticed my notebook and asked if she could see it. I hesitated, then handed it over. She read quietly for a few minutes. When she looked up, her eyes were soft and thoughtful. “Lily,” she said gently, “the way you see the world is remarkable. You notice things that everyone else misses. That’s not a small thing. That’s a gift.” I blinked, not sure how to respond. A gift? I had always thought of my quietness as a weakness.
“Daniel is wonderful,” she continued, “but there are many people like him, who shine brightly on the outside. But someone who can truly see others — who can capture their stories in words — that’s rare. Don’t ever try to be someone else, Lily. The world already has a Daniel. It needs a YOU.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Aunt Sarah’s words kept echoing in my mind long after that party.

At the end of the summer, I showed Daniel what I had been working on.
