Grammar and Vocabulary (20 分) Section A (1’*10=10’) Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Pigeon Patrol Takes Flight They’ve been driven from Trafalgar Square for being a creature that causes trouble; they’ve been derided as rats with wings for a long time; they’ve even been criticized as a risk ____1____ to public health. However, pigeons could play a small part now in helping Londoners overcome one of the capital’s biggest health problems — its serious air pollution ____2____ (blame) for thousands of deaths a year. In mid-March, a flock of racing pigeons was set loose from a rooftop in Brick Lane, with one equipped with a pollution sensor and ____3____ fitted with a GPS tracker. ____4____ the sensor did record the nitrogen dioxide emitted by the city’s cars, buses and trucks and can send the data to anyone who asks for ____5____ reading, the real purpose of using the pigeons is to raise awareness. “We’re making the invisible visible,” said Pierre Duquesnoy, the creative director behind the project and winner of a London Design Festival award. “Most of the time when people talk about pollution, we associate it with other places. But there are some days in the year ____6____ pollution was more serious in London. That’s the reality.” Duquesnoy said he was inspired by the use of pigeons in the First and Second World Wars ____7____ (deliver) vital information and save lives. Then he thought it would also be practical for the feathered creature to take mobile air quality readings and beat London’s crowded roads. “We are glad to reverse ____8____ used to be seen as a flying rat into something quite positive,” said Duquesnoy. This was the first time that urban wild animals ____9____ (use) to carry sensors to give us a picture of the air pollution over our heads. The release of the pigeons for three days, called the “Pigeon Air Patrol,” ____10____ (come) as moderate to high pollution affected much of the city. Section B (1’*10=10’) Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. bond B. citing C. dismissing D. keenly E. mainstream F. misinformation G. mixed H. overblown I. panic J. typically K. unchecked Teens Are Pushing Back on AI Forget cheating on homework and chatbot friends. Some kids are getting in on a new AI trend: thinking it sucks. In the four years since chatbots went ____11____ and their marketing campaigns went into overdrive, young people have grown increasingly skeptical of the hype (大肆宣传) around LLMs (large language models). A polling (投票) on youthful AI attitudes shows a great deal of contradiction. Adoption rates are high, with a majority of America’s teens reporting they use chatbots, but enthusiasm is ____12____. The recent Pew Research report found that while many teens think AI will be good for them personally, over a fourth of teens believe AI will have a negative impact on society in the next 20 years, ____13____ job loss, the decline of critical thinking skills, and environmental impacts as concerns. According to market research firm YPulse, 37 percent of teens aged 13 to 17 roll their eyes at AI content like music and videos, and more than half worry about ____14____ and deepfakes. Young people ____15____ adopt new consumer technology eagerly, but Melanie Green, a communications professor, says AI is different. This time, the moral ____16____ isn’t coming from older generations — instead, kids are the ones turned off by the way AI is being pushed on them by adults and tech corporations. They’re also, Green says, “____17____ aware that whatever disruption happens, their generation is going to be taking the worst of it.” Hence, the eye-rolls. The skepticism is surprisingly consistent across households. On Bluesky, a social media platform, parents ____18____ over their kids’ distrust of AI, with many claiming that their children come home saying “that’s AI” to mean “that’s nonsense.” Some parents may worry that their children will be “left behind” if they don’t embrace AI now, but that’s likely ____19____, Dr. Avila, associate professor of psychology says. “There are plenty of technologies that we’ve learned to use while in the workforce, and our children will learn and adapt to new technologies as well. Overall, ____20____ AI is not a bad thing. It’s actually a really healthy response of the adolescent brain to anything they are unsure about.” She encourages parents to have open, non-judgmental conversations with their children about what they’re feeling and what their concerns are. III. Reading Comprehension (45 分) Section A  (1’*15=15’) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Nearly everyone has noticed a strange travel quirk: after a round trip, the journey back always feels surprisingly ____21____. Scientists have long studied this universal mental trick, and several solid explanations can clarify why our brains perceive travel time so differently. One leading explanation centers on psychological expectation. For vacationers especially, the eager anticipation of finally ____22____ a long-awaited destination stretches the perceived length of the outbound trip. ____23____, when the ride drags on longer than mentally predicted, travelers experience subtle letdown. They unconsciously ____24____ their inner anticipation of travel duration. This subtle mental adjustment makes the homeward journey feel far more brief and subjectively more ____25____.  A second theory focuses on perceptual adjustment. When we encounter unfamiliar scenery, our brains will gradually grow ____26____ to new surroundings over time. Faced with novel visual stimuli, the brain slows subjective time perception to handle intensive information processing. This cognitive mechanism ____27____ for the common experience that time seems to accelerate with age. Elderly people rarely encounter brand-new scenarios, so their brains seldom struggle to ____28____ unfamiliar cognitive challenges. This phenomenon is formally named the “return-trip effect.” On the way to a new place, your brain actively registers countless roadside landmarks. On your return journey along the identical route, you can effortlessly ____29____ these familiar markers. With less mental confusion and far better spatial awareness, your subjective sense of time speeds up dramatically. This mental shortcut is closely ____30____ to the automation of learned skills. For example, beginner cyclists must constantly ____31____ their speed and balance to avoid falling. After consistent practice, the mind becomes ____32____ to wander without deliberate focus. The return-trip effect is most obvious when travelers are ____33____ on how tiring unfamiliar outbound journeys feel. This explains why the effect is strongly ____34____ with holiday travel instead of daily commutes. Regular commuters are extremely accustomed to routine roadside scenery, enabling them to precisely ____35____ the exact duration of both outbound and return trips. 21. A. tougher B. shorter C. fainter D. slower 22. A. departing B. attaining C. pursuing D. reaching 23. A. Instead B. Therefore C. However D. Otherwise 24.

A. reflecting B. insisting C. deciding D. touching 34. A. charged B. contrasted C. marked D. burdened 35. A. cover B. measure C. compute D. extend Section B  (2’*11=22’) Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Lin worked in the municipal archive (市档案馆), a neglected building on the far edge of the city. Inside, the air was always cold. Rows of old wooden boxes and piles of faded papers with old postmarks recorded stories from decades ago. For years, Lin was trapped in a cycle of delay and low spirits. When young, he held high hopes. He wanted to create moving sculptures to touch people’s hearts. But after years in a stressful corporate job where he always underperformed, he abandoned his dream. He saw himself as a failure who had lost all self-control. To avoid further disappointment, he built a wall in his heart and hid behind laziness. He believed remaining emotionally detached could protect him from pain. He did his routine work mechanically and avoided extra tasks whenever possible. Everything changed on a grey October afternoon, as heavy rain beat against the large windows. Looking up from his cold tea, Lin spotted a bright colour through the misty glass. A little girl stood in the rain, wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a matching yellow umbrella. She knocked softly at the heavy door. She said she did not come to shelter from rain. Her mother told her the archive kept people’s old belongings. She was searching for a big wooden box her grandfather had left here before his sudden death. Normally Lin would refuse such troublesome requests. Finding one box among thousands of unlisted items was hard. Yet faced with her hopeful eyes, he could not turn her down. The girl offered to help with the search. After that, she came every rainy afternoon. Walking along dark passages and opening dusty boxes, they found delicate hand carvings, old brass compasses and pocket watches. Lin learned the girl’s grandfather was a wood carver, just like he once had been. This unexpected friendship slowly changed his mind. His old belief that human efforts were in vain faded. The heavy regret over his wasted years turned into quiet peace. Four weeks later, they found the box. Inside was no treasure, only a wooden bird with hidden gadgets. Turn its key, and its wooden wings would move. A note read: “To my granddaughter, always remember to fly, even on rainy days.” After the girl left, Lin’s long sadness was gone. He got his carving tools, unused for over ten years, picked up pine wood and began carving. Warmth returned to his heart. 36. Why did Lin choose to stay emotionally distant? A. He believed it could protect him from disappointment. B. He was tired of dealing with visitors’ various requests. C. He intended to devote all his spare time to sculpture. D. He thought archive work required no emotional involvement. 37. What was the girl’s purpose of visiting the archive on that rainy afternoon? A. To shelter herself from the heavy rain outside. B. To trace back a wooden chest left by her late grandfather. C. To hand over her grandfather’s hidden notebook to Lin. D. To learn wood carving skills from an experienced craftsman. 38. What can we infer from Lin and the girl’s experience of searching for the wooden box? A. Lin regained hope and healed his inner pain during the process. B. Precious treasures were finally discovered in the old wooden box. C. The girl’s grandfather intended to pass carving skills to Lin. D. Rainy afternoons became their favorite time to explore the archive. 39. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A Dream Awakened in the Archive B. Forgotten Treasures of a Family C. Rainy Days in the Neglected Archive D. A Grandfather’s Mysterious Gift (B) An eye for the future In 1964, Isaac Asimov wrote a piece for The New York Times, predicting what the world would look like in 2014. Now, in 2026, let’s revisit a few of the most interesting excerpts from his essay and see where they stand in today’s society. Seeing the person you call Cars with brains Trip to Mars “The screen can be used not only to see the people you call but also for studying documents and photographs and reading passages from books.” This is one of the few predictions of Asimov got completely right. In 1964, mobile phones did exist. They were often installed in cars due to their size and substantial need for power. Fast forward to today, video calls are now commonplace, and modern smartphones also allow us to read books or view photos. “Vehicles with ‘Robot-brains’... can be set for particular destinations... that will then proceed there without interference ( 干扰 ) by the slow reflexes ( 本能反应 ) of a human driver.” In 2014, plans were being made for self-driving cars, many still in the pilot phase. Jump forward a few years and companies like Tesla are leading the way in driver-less cars. As of March 2026, a total of 941 vehicles in Guangzhou had joined road tests and demonstration operations. “By 2014, only unmanned ships will have landed on Mars, though a manned expedition will be in the works.” This was another accurate prediction by Asimov, as several rovers ( 探测器 ) have since successfully reached Mars. Now, scientists around the world are working to bring Martian samples back to Earth, and China is at the forefront of the space race, with the country’s Tianwen-3 mission aiming to carry out two launches around 2028. They have also made plans for a crewed Mars exploration by the year 2050. Overall, it’s safe to say that Asimov’s predictions were pretty impressive. Let’s wait another 10 years to see if any more of his ideas become reality! MORE OF ASIMOV’S INTERESTING IDEAS Jets of compressed (压缩的) air will also lift land vehicles off the highways, which will minimize paving problems. Mankind will suffer badly from the disease of boredom, a disease spreading more widely each year and growing in intensity. 40. What aspect of communication did Asimov accurately predict? A. The popularization of mobile phones. B. The decline of traditional telephones. C. Free global calls without network limits. D. Video calls and information sharing via devices. 41. What can we learn about self-driving cars in 2014 from the text? A. Most were in the testing stage. B. They were widely used in most cities. C. Tesla was already leading the field. D. China had over 900 such vehicles. 42. What did Asimov predict about Mars by 2014? A. Manned explorations would have landed on Mars. B. Unmanned ships would have reached Mars. C. Martian samples would be brought back to Earth. D. Regular flights to Mars would just be starting. (C) Does AI need a psychologist? The question sounds absurdly relevant. Today, a fascinating Wall Street Journal essay by Cameron Berg asks a timely and serious version of that question. He argues that as AI becomes increasingly complex, we might need to start studying them less like tech and more like minds. So, let’s throw another log on the AI conflagration of promise and pitfalls. I think this argument is provocative and worth wide discussion. And the scientific literature tells an interesting story. We’re beginning to see internal “patterns” in LLMs (large language models) we might describe as a sort of emotion or motivation. In one experiment that Berg discusses, researchers changed the internal activity associated with desperation in the LLM they were studying, Claude. They saw significant and curious increases in behaviors like cheating. What I find particularly interesting is that the language produced by the LLM remained outwardly calm. Something had changed inside the system that wasn’t obvious from what it was saying. Certainly an interesting question for today’s Dr. Freud. Still, Berg makes a key point. AI is becoming increasingly difficult to understand simply by looking at outputs. He argues that we need a new science — artificial psychology — capable of examining what’s happening inside these artificial networks and understanding how those internal states influence behavior. He states it succinctly. But as I thought about his editorial, I found myself considering the other mind in the room. Ours. I’ve written a good deal about how AI is beginning to separate the product of thought from the process of thinking. Traditionally, an essay or analysis served as some evidence that cognition occurred. We couldn’t see the thinking, so we inferred it from what a person produced. I believe that generative AI breaks that relationship. And here’s where Berg’s argument becomes even more interesting, at least to me. With AI, sophisticated language may conceal an internal process we don’t understand. With humans using AI, sophisticated language may conceal an internal process that never happened. And in this context, psychology may suddenly have two very different problems. The first is understanding the increasingly strange computational systems we’re building. That’s Berg’s central thesis. The second, hidden in our mundane (世俗的) humanity, is understanding what interacting with those systems is doing to human cognition. These two problems seem to exist in a sort of cognitive balance, shifting as our needs demand. So, maybe that’s where the psychological question becomes most important. We are spending enormous resources trying to understand what’s happening inside artificial intelligence, as we should. But at the same time, billions of humans are beginning an unprecedented cognitive experiment (relationship) with machines that supplement, challenge, and replace the very thinking that makes us human. So, does AI need a psychologist? Perhaps, but the psychologist might want to keep an eye on us too. 43. The underlined word “conflagration” is closest in meaning to ________. A. peaceful and widely accepted agreement B. great technical improvement in AI systems C. an intense and spreading controversy or debate D. an emerging and underexplored research project 44. What does the author mention about the experiment on Claude? A. Claude showed obvious emotional shifts in its outward language. B. Changing internal activity in the LLM can alter its external behavior. C. Researchers confirmed LLMs have exactly the same desperation feeling as humans. D. Cheating is the most common behavior for all large language models. 45. What can be inferred from paragraphs 6–8 about human users of AI? A. Their fluent output may hide the fact that deep thinking never happened. B. Their cognition level will quickly improve with frequent AI use. C. They usually spend more time editing AI output than writing themselves. D. They always produce higher quality content than people writing without AI. 46. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage? A. AI has surpassed human intelligence, so psychologists should focus only on machines. B. Large language models like Claude are proven to have real emotions and need therapy. C. Berg’s essay claims AI should be regulated by governments before further study. D. We need psychology for AI, but we also need to weigh its impact on human cognition. Section C (2’*4=8’) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Always better together Riding the wind with its five tiny “wings”, a saxaul (梭梭树) seed lands on the sand. A quick rain shower has just brought some water onto the soil. Only two to three hours later, the seed — one of the fastest-growing in the world — has shot up. It finds itself on the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. ____47____ Its roots go deep underground to find water and nutrients, which are then transported to other parts of the plant. As days go by, the seed grows into a tree, with strong branches that help stop the sand from moving. The saxaul tree’s efforts also support another plant, the cistanche herb (肉苁蓉). ____48____ It drives its roots into the saxaul tree’s vascular system, sharing in the water and nutrients. Then one spring day, the sandy ground suddenly cracks open. The cistanche grows up into the sunlight, not far from the saxaul. The herb’s purple flowers give off a sweet smell, and a few bees come to collect nectar. As they drink the nectar, the tiny hairs on their bodies catch the pollen (花粉). As the bees move on to the next flower, they help spread plant life across the desert. ____49____ People plant saxaul forests to stop deserts from spreading, and grow cistanche herbs to sell to hospitals and healthcare companies. In addition, every April, growers rent bees from beekeepers to increase pollination (授粉) rates and produce honey. ____50____. This is part of China’s “edge-locking” project around the Taklimakan Desert. Thanks to this systematic plan, China’s biggest (and the world’s second–largest) moving desert is now being brought under control. A. Known as “desert ginseng”, this herb is a highly valued Chinese medicine. B. Though young, the plant bravely faces the strong sunlight and blowing sand. C. The symbiosis (共生) between the saxaul and the cistanche creates a connected system. D. Slowly, the strategy began to work. What was once barren land has turned into a green oasis. E. It’s a win-win situation where environmental protection and economic development go hand in hand. F. Known as a desert guardian, a fully grown saxaul tree can hold together a 10-square-meter patch of sandy land. IV. Summary writing (10 分) 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Do We Give Weight Too Much Weight? Take your height in metres, square it, then divide it by your weight in kilograms by it. That’s how you calculate your body mass index, or BMI. Between 18 and 25 means a healthy weight; over that, it doesn’t. Simple enough. BMI has become a popular measure for assessing health. On a population level, data backs this up. People with a high BMI are statistically more likely to develop conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, and some types of cancer. Checking BMI offers a quick way to assess health and decide if lifestyle changes are needed. However, BMI does not give the full picture. It’s less accurate for some groups of people, such as children, the elderly or athletes. The measure was created in the 19th Century by a Belgian mathematician, which may explain why the figures work better for Europeans than other racial groups. It also ignores some key factors. Someone very active may have significant weight from muscle. BMI doesn’t differentiate between this or the internal fat, which is linked to health problems. It doesn’t account for the range of nutrients or the level of cholesterol (胆固醇) in someone’s diet. So people can have a high BMI yet be relatively healthy, while others with a low BMI may be unhealthy. The simplicity of BMI is attractive and fits with society’s perception of the importance of weight. However, dependence on it as an indicator of health can cause people to feel judged because of their weight. This sometimes leads people to avoid going to the doctors if they expect questions about their weight. While BMI may be a useful measure, experts remind us that it should always be considered alongside other measures, such as blood pressure, blood sugar level, cholesterol level and others. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

They’re also, Green says, “____17____ aware that whatever disruption happens, their generation is going to be taking the worst of it.” Hence, the eye-rolls. The skepticism is surprisingly consistent across households. On Bluesky, a social media platform, parents ____18____ over their kids’ distrust of AI, with many claiming that their children come home saying “that’s AI” to mean “that’s nonsense.” Some parents may worry that their children will be “left behind” if they don’t embrace AI now, but that’s likely ____19____, Dr. Avila, associate professor of psychology says. “There are plenty of technologies that we’ve learned to use while in the workforce, and our children will learn and adapt to new technologies as well. Overall, ____20____ AI is not a bad thing.

Reading Comprehension (45 分) Section A  (1’*15=15’) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Nearly everyone has noticed a strange travel quirk: after a round trip, the journey back always feels surprisingly ____21____. Scientists have long studied this universal mental trick, and several solid explanations can clarify why our brains perceive travel time so differently. One leading explanation centers on psychological expectation. For vacationers especially, the eager anticipation of finally ____22____ a long-awaited destination stretches the perceived length of the outbound trip. ____23____, when the ride drags on longer than mentally predicted, travelers experience subtle letdown. They unconsciously ____24____ their inner anticipation of travel duration. This subtle mental adjustment makes the homeward journey feel far more brief and subjectively more ____25____.  A second theory focuses on perceptual adjustment. When we encounter unfamiliar scenery, our brains will gradually grow ____26____ to new surroundings over time. Faced with novel visual stimuli, the brain slows subjective time perception to handle intensive information processing. This cognitive mechanism ____27____ for the common experience that time seems to accelerate with age. Elderly people rarely encounter brand-new scenarios, so their brains seldom struggle to ____28____ unfamiliar cognitive challenges. This phenomenon is formally named the “return-trip effect.” On the way to a new place, your brain actively registers countless roadside landmarks. On your return journey along the identical route, you can effortlessly ____29____ these familiar markers. With less mental confusion and far better spatial awareness, your subjective sense of time speeds up dramatically. This mental shortcut is closely ____30____ to the automation of learned skills. For example, beginner cyclists must constantly ____31____ their speed and balance to avoid falling. After consistent practice, the mind becomes ____32____ to wander without deliberate focus. The return-trip effect is most obvious when travelers are ____33____ on how tiring unfamiliar outbound journeys feel. This explains why the effect is strongly ____34____ with holiday travel instead of daily commutes. Regular commuters are extremely accustomed to routine roadside scenery, enabling them to precisely ____35____ the exact duration of both outbound and return trips. 21.

A 29. C 30. B 31. A 32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要解释返程效应让人觉得回程更快的科学原理。 【21题详解】 考查形容词。句意：几乎每个人都注意到一个奇怪的旅行怪象：往返旅行后，回程总是出人意料地更短。A. tougher更艰难的；B. shorter更短的；C. fainter更微弱的；D. slower更慢的。根据后文“On your return journey along the identical route, you can effortlessly ______ these familiar markers. With less mental confusion and far better spatial awareness, your subjective sense of time speeds up dramatically.”可知，全文核心主题是返程效应，核心特征就是人们主观上觉得回程用时更短。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意：尤其是对于度假者来说，终于抵达期盼已久的目的地的热切期待，会拉长人们感知到的去程时长。A. departing离开；B. attaining获得；C. pursuing追求；D. reaching抵达。根据后文“a long-awaited destination”可知，度假者的核心期待就是最终抵达自己向往已久的旅行目的地。 【23题详解】 考查副词。句意：相反，当行程比心理预期的更长时，旅行者会感到轻微失落。A. Instead相反；B. Therefore因此；C. However然而；D. Otherwise否则。根据前文“For vacationers especially, the eager anticipation of finally ______ a long-awaited destination stretches the perceived length of the outbound trip.”和后文“when the ride drags on longer than mentally predicted, travelers experience subtle letdown”可知，前文讲期待拉长去程感知时长，后文换角度说明行程超出预期时人的感受，用instead引出另一种情况。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：他们会无意识地修正自己内心对旅途时长的预判。A. revised修正；B. restored恢复；C. reserved预留；D. recalled回忆。根据前文“when the ride drags on longer than mentally predicted, travelers experience subtle letdown. They unconsciously”和后文“their inner anticipation of travel duration”可知，实际旅途时长超出了最初的心理预期，人们就会下意识调整、修正自己原本对这段行程的时长预判。 【25题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这种微妙的心理调整会让回程的感觉短暂得多，主观上也更令人愉悦。A. complicated复杂的；B. steady平稳的；C. delightful令人愉悦的；D. flexible灵活的。根据前文“This subtle mental adjustment makes the homeward journey feel far more brief and subjectively more”可知，当人们不再有抵达目的地的急切期待，放松下来的回程体验会主观上更轻松愉快。故选C。 【26题详解】 考查形容词。句意：当我们遇到陌生的风景时，随着时间推移，我们的大脑会逐渐对新环境变得熟悉适应。A. resistant抗拒的；B. unfamiliar陌生的；C. exposed暴露的；D. accustomed适应的。根据后文“to new surroundings over time”可知，随着在陌生环境里停留的时间变长，大脑会慢慢熟悉周遭的一切，不再对所有事物都保持高度警觉。 【27题详解】 考查动词。句意：这种认知机制解释了一个常见体验：随着年龄增长，人们会觉得时间似乎在加速流逝。A. stands代表；B. accounts解释；C. calls呼叫；D. substitutes替代。根据前文“This cognitive mechanism”和后文“for the common experience that time seems to accelerate with age”可知，前文提到的认知机制是时间主观加速的缘由，固定搭配account for在这里表示“是……的原因、解释……”。 【28题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：老年人很少遇到全新的场景，所以他们的大脑几乎不需要费力去应对陌生的认知挑战。A. get through应对、完成；B. make out辨认；C. bring forth产出；D. take on呈现。根据前文“Elderly people rarely encounter brand-new scenarios, so their brains seldom struggle to”和后文“unfamiliar cognitive challenges”可知，当没有全新的陌生场景时，大脑就不需要耗费精力去处理、应对未知的认知挑战。 【29题详解】 考查动词。句意：沿着同一条路线返程时，你可以毫不费力地辨认出这些熟悉的地标。A. observe观察；B. overlook忽视；C. identify辨认；D. evaluate评估。根据前文“On your return journey along the identical route”和后文“these familiar markers”可知，去程时大脑已经记录下了沿途的地标，返程时就可以轻松认出这些已经见过的标记。 【30题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这种心理捷径和习得技能的自动化过程紧密相关。A. dedicated专注的；B. related相关的；C. opposed反对的；D. committed坚定的。根据前文“This mental shortcut is closely”和后文“to the automation of learned skills. For example, beginner cyclists must constantly ______ their speed and balance to avoid falling. After consistent practice, the mind becomes ______ to wander without deliberate focus.”可知，后文举的骑自行车从生疏到熟练的例子说明这种心理捷径和习得技能的自动化过程紧密相关。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：初学骑自行车的人必须不断留意自己的速度和平衡，避免摔倒。A. monitor留意、把控；B. sustain维持；C. display展示；D. sacrifice牺牲。根据前文“beginner cyclists must constantly”和后文“their speed and balance to avoid falling”可知，新手骑车时注意力高度集中，需要时刻监控自己的速度和身体平衡状态，防止失控摔倒。 【32题详解】 考查形容词。句意：经过持续练习后，大脑无需刻意集中注意力，就能自由地发散思绪。A. forced被迫的；B. prepared准备好的；C. entitled有资格的；D. free自由的。根据前文“After consistent practice”和后文“to wander without deliberate focus”可知，当骑车变成熟练的自动化技能后，大脑不需要再把全部注意力放在把控平衡上，可以自由地走神。 【33题详解】 考查动词。句意：当旅行者回想陌生去程的疲惫感时，返程效应会表现得最为明显。A. reflecting回想、反思；B. insisting坚持；C. deciding决定；D. touching触碰。根据后文“on how tiring unfamiliar outbound journeys feel”可知，只有当人们回头对比去程的陌生疲惫和回程的轻松熟悉时，才能清晰感知到返程效应带来的时长差。 【34题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这也解释了为什么这一效应在假日旅行中表现得极为显著，而非日常通勤场景下。A. charged充满的；B. contrasted对比的；C. marked显著关联的；D. burdened背负的。根据前文“This explains why the effect is strongly”和后文“with holiday travel instead of daily commutes”可知，固定搭配be marked with在这里表示“在……中特征显著”，假日旅行的路线大多是陌生的，返程效应会格外突出。 【35题详解】 考查动词。句意：通勤者早已习惯沿途风景，可以精准估量往返行程的确切时长。A. cover覆盖；B. measure估量，衡量；C. compute计算；D. extend延伸。根据前文“Regular commuters are extremely accustomed to routine roadside scenery, enabling them to precisely”和后文“the exact duration of both outbound and return trips”可知，通勤者由于熟悉路线，可以精准估量往返行程的确切时长。measure the duration“估量时长”。 Section B  (2’*11=22’) Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Lin worked in the municipal archive (市档案馆), a neglected building on the far edge of the city. Inside, the air was always cold. Rows of old wooden boxes and piles of faded papers with old postmarks recorded stories from decades ago. For years, Lin was trapped in a cycle of delay and low spirits. When young, he held high hopes. He wanted to create moving sculptures to touch people’s hearts. But after years in a stressful corporate job where he always underperformed, he abandoned his dream. He saw himself as a failure who had lost all self-control. To avoid further disappointment, he built a wall in his heart and hid behind laziness. He believed remaining emotionally detached could protect him from pain. He did his routine work mechanically and avoided extra tasks whenever possible. Everything changed on a grey October afternoon, as heavy rain beat against the large windows. Looking up from his cold tea, Lin spotted a bright colour through the misty glass. A little girl stood in the rain, wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a matching yellow umbrella. She knocked softly at the heavy door. She said she did not come to shelter from rain. Her mother told her the archive kept people’s old belongings. She was searching for a big wooden box her grandfather had left here before his sudden death. Normally Lin would refuse such troublesome requests. Finding one box among thousands of unlisted items was hard. Yet faced with her hopeful eyes, he could not turn her down. The girl offered to help with the search. After that, she came every rainy afternoon. Walking along dark passages and opening dusty boxes, they found delicate hand carvings, old brass compasses and pocket watches. Lin learned the girl’s grandfather was a wood carver, just like he once had been. This unexpected friendship slowly changed his mind. His old belief that human efforts were in vain faded. The heavy regret over his wasted years turned into quiet peace. Four weeks later, they found the box. Inside was no treasure, only a wooden bird with hidden gadgets. Turn its key, and its wooden wings would move. A note read: “To my granddaughter, always remember to fly, even on rainy days.” After the girl left, Lin’s long sadness was gone. He got his carving tools, unused for over ten years, picked up pine wood and began carving. Warmth returned to his heart. 36. Why did Lin choose to stay emotionally distant? A. He believed it could protect him from disappointment. B. He was tired of dealing with visitors’ various requests. C. He intended to devote all his spare time to sculpture. D. He thought archive work required no emotional involvement. 37. What was the girl’s purpose of visiting the archive on that rainy afternoon? A. To shelter herself from the heavy rain outside. B. To trace back a wooden chest left by her late grandfather. C. To hand over her grandfather’s hidden notebook to Lin. D. To learn wood carving skills from an experienced craftsman. 38. What can we infer from Lin and the girl’s experience of searching for the wooden box? A. Lin regained hope and healed his inner pain during the process. B. Precious treasures were finally discovered in the old wooden box. C. The girl’s grandfather intended to pass carving skills to Lin. D. Rainy afternoons became their favorite time to explore the archive. 39. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A Dream Awakened in the Archive B. Forgotten Treasures of a Family C. Rainy Days in the Neglected Archive D. A Grandfather’s Mysterious Gift 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. A 39. A 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了在市档案馆工作的Lin因梦想破碎而消沉自闭，后因一个雨天小女孩寻箱的经历重燃木雕梦想、治愈内心的故事。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To avoid further disappointment, he built a wall in his heart and hid behind laziness. He believed remaining emotionally detached could protect him from pain.(为了避免进一步的失望，他在自己心中筑起了一道墙，并躲藏在懒惰之后。他认为保持情感上的超然能够保护他免受痛苦)”可知，Lin选择保持情感疏离是因为他相信这样可以保护自己免受失望。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“She said she did not come to shelter from rain. Her mother told her the archive kept people’s old belongings. She was searching for a big wooden box her grandfather had left here before his sudden death.(她说她不是来避雨的。她的母亲告诉她，档案馆保管着人们的旧物品。她正在寻找她的祖父在他突然去世前留在这儿的一个大木箱子)”可知，女孩在那个雨天下午来档案馆的目的是寻找她已故祖父留下的木箱。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“This unexpected friendship slowly changed his mind. His old belief that human efforts were in vain faded. The heavy regret over his wasted years turned into quiet peace.(这份意外的友谊慢慢改变了他的想法。他认为人的努力都是徒劳的这一旧信念消退了。对他虚度年华的沉重悔恨化作了平静的安宁)”以及第七段中的“After the girl left, Lin’s long sadness was gone. He got his carving tools, unused for over ten years, picked up pine wood and began carving. Warmth returned to his heart.(在女孩离开之后，Lin 长久以来的悲伤消失了。他取出了他那套已经十多年未使用的雕刻工具，拿起松木并开始雕刻。温暖回到了他的心中)”可知，在与女孩一起寻找木箱的过程中，Lin重获希望并治愈了内心的痛苦。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，并结合第二段“He wanted to create moving sculptures to touch people’s hearts. But after years in a stressful corporate job where he always underperformed, he abandoned his dream.(他想要创作动人的雕塑来触动人们的心灵。但是在一份压力重重且他始终表现不佳的公司工作多年之后，他放弃了自己的梦想)”和第七段“He got his carving tools, unused for over ten years, picked up pine wood and began carving. Warmth returned to his heart.(他取出了他那套已经十多年未使用的雕刻工具，拿起松木并开始雕刻。温暖回到了他的心中)”可知，文章讲述了Lin在市档案馆工作时因放弃雕塑梦想而消沉自闭，后因一个雨天小女孩来寻找祖父留下的木箱，在共同寻找的过程中他重燃木雕梦想、治愈内心的故事。A项“在档案馆中苏醒的梦想”能概括文章主旨，是最佳标题。 (B) An eye for the future In 1964, Isaac Asimov wrote a piece for The New York Times, predicting what the world would look like in 2014. Now, in 2026, let’s revisit a few of the most interesting excerpts from his essay and see where they stand in today’s society. Seeing the person you call Cars with brains Trip to Mars “The screen can be used not only to see the people you call but also for studying documents and photographs and reading passages from books.” This is one of the few predictions of Asimov got completely right. In 1964, mobile phones did exist. They were often installed in cars due to their size and substantial need for power. Fast forward to today, video calls are now commonplace, and modern smartphones also allow us to read books or view photos. “Vehicles with ‘Robot-brains’... can be set for particular destinations... that will then proceed there without interference ( 干扰 ) by the slow reflexes ( 本能反应 ) of a human driver.” In 2014, plans were being made for self-driving cars, many still in the pilot phase. Jump forward a few years and companies like Tesla are leading the way in driver-less cars. As of March 2026, a total of 941 vehicles in Guangzhou had joined road tests and demonstration operations. “By 2014, only unmanned ships will have landed on Mars, though a manned expedition will be in the works.” This was another accurate prediction by Asimov, as several rovers ( 探测器 ) have since successfully reached Mars. Now, scientists around the world are working to bring Martian samples back to Earth, and China is at the forefront of the space race, with the country’s Tianwen-3 mission aiming to carry out two launches around 2028. They have also made plans for a crewed Mars exploration by the year 2050. Overall, it’s safe to say that Asimov’s predictions were pretty impressive. Let’s wait another 10 years to see if any more of his ideas become reality! MORE OF ASIMOV’S INTERESTING IDEAS Jets of compressed (压缩的) air will also lift land vehicles off the highways, which will minimize paving problems. Mankind will suffer badly from the disease of boredom, a disease spreading more widely each year and growing in intensity. 40. What aspect of communication did Asimov accurately predict? A. The popularization of mobile phones. B. The decline of traditional telephones. C. Free global calls without network limits. D. Video calls and information sharing via devices. 41. What can we learn about self-driving cars in 2014 from the text? A. Most were in the testing stage. B. They were widely used in most cities. C. Tesla was already leading the field. D. China had over 900 such vehicles. 42. What did Asimov predict about Mars by 2014? A. Manned explorations would have landed on Mars. B. Unmanned ships would have reached Mars. C.

The question sounds absurdly relevant. Today, a fascinating Wall Street Journal essay by Cameron Berg asks a timely and serious version of that question. He argues that as AI becomes increasingly complex, we might need to start studying them less like tech and more like minds. So, let’s throw another log on the AI conflagration of promise and pitfalls. I think this argument is provocative and worth wide discussion. And the scientific literature tells an interesting story. We’re beginning to see internal “patterns” in LLMs (large language models) we might describe as a sort of emotion or motivation. In one experiment that Berg discusses, researchers changed the internal activity associated with desperation in the LLM they were studying, Claude. They saw significant and curious increases in behaviors like cheating. What I find particularly interesting is that the language produced by the LLM remained outwardly calm. Something had changed inside the system that wasn’t obvious from what it was saying. Certainly an interesting question for today’s Dr. Freud. Still, Berg makes a key point. AI is becoming increasingly difficult to understand simply by looking at outputs. He argues that we need a new science — artificial psychology — capable of examining what’s happening inside these artificial networks and understanding how those internal states influence behavior. He states it succinctly. But as I thought about his editorial, I found myself considering the other mind in the room. Ours. I’ve written a good deal about how AI is beginning to separate the product of thought from the process of thinking. Traditionally, an essay or analysis served as some evidence that cognition occurred. We couldn’t see the thinking, so we inferred it from what a person produced. I believe that generative AI breaks that relationship. And here’s where Berg’s argument becomes even more interesting, at least to me. With AI, sophisticated language may conceal an internal process we don’t understand. With humans using AI, sophisticated language may conceal an internal process that never happened. And in this context, psychology may suddenly have two very different problems. The first is understanding the increasingly strange computational systems we’re building. That’s Berg’s central thesis. The second, hidden in our mundane (世俗的) humanity, is understanding what interacting with those systems is doing to human cognition. These two problems seem to exist in a sort of cognitive balance, shifting as our needs demand. So, maybe that’s where the psychological question becomes most important. We are spending enormous resources trying to understand what’s happening inside artificial intelligence, as we should. But at the same time, billions of humans are beginning an unprecedented cognitive experiment (relationship) with machines that supplement, challenge, and replace the very thinking that makes us human. So, does AI need a psychologist? Perhaps, but the psychologist might want to keep an eye on us too. 43. The underlined word “conflagration” is closest in meaning to ________. A. peaceful and widely accepted agreement B. great technical improvement in AI systems C. an intense and spreading controversy or debate D. an emerging and underexplored research project 44. What does the author mention about the experiment on Claude? A. Claude showed obvious emotional shifts in its outward language. B. Changing internal activity in the LLM can alter its external behavior. C. Researchers confirmed LLMs have exactly the same desperation feeling as humans. D. Cheating is the most common behavior for all large language models. 45. What can be inferred from paragraphs 6–8 about human users of AI? A. Their fluent output may hide the fact that deep thinking never happened. B. Their cognition level will quickly improve with frequent AI use. C. They usually spend more time editing AI output than writing themselves. D. They always produce higher quality content than people writing without AI. 46. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage? A. AI has surpassed human intelligence, so psychologists should focus only on machines. B. Large language models like Claude are proven to have real emotions and need therapy. C. Berg’s essay claims AI should be regulated by governments before further study. D. We need psychology for AI, but we also need to weigh its impact on human cognition. 【答案】43. C 44. B 45. A 46. D 【解析】 【导语】文章围绕AI是否需要心理学家展开探讨，提出既要关注AI内部状态，也要重视AI对人类认知的影响。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据题目“Does AI need a psychologist?(人工智能需要心理学家吗？)”和第一段中“He argues that as AI becomes increasingly complex, we might need to start studying them less like tech and more like minds. So, let’s throw another log on the AI conflagration of promise and pitfalls.(他提出，随着人工智能变得愈发复杂，我们或许不应再单纯把它们当作技术来研究，而要更多地将其视作心智来研究。那么，让我们在这场围绕人工智能机遇与隐患的conflagration，再添一把柴。)”可知，前文已经提到相关话题引发了广泛的争议和讨论，这里的conflagration指代正在持续发酵的激烈辩论。C选项“an intense and spreading controversy or debate(一场激烈且不断扩散的争议或辩论)”符合词义。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In one experiment that Berg discusses, researchers changed the internal activity associated with desperation in the LLM they were studying, Claude. They saw significant and curious increases in behaviors like cheating.(在伯格提到的一项实验中，研究人员改变了他们正在研究的大语言模型Claude体内与绝望感相关的内部活动，他们观察到作弊这类行为出现了显著且反常的增长。)”可知，调整大语言模型的内部活动，会改变它的外在行为表现。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“With humans using AI, sophisticated language may conceal an internal process that never happened.(对于使用AI的人类来说，精妙的语言可能掩盖了一个从未发生过的内在思考过程。)”可知，人类借助AI产出的流畅内容，背后可能根本没有经过深度的自主思考。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据倒数第二段中“But at the same time, billions of humans are beginning an unprecedented cognitive experiment (relationship) with machines that supplement, challenge, and replace the very thinking that makes us human.(但与此同时，数十亿人类正在与机器开展一场前所未有的认知实验（建立一种关联），这些机器补充、挑战甚至取代了人类之所以为人的那种思考能力。)”和最后一段中“So, does AI need a psychologist? Perhaps, but the psychologist might want to keep an eye on us too.(所以，AI需要心理学家吗？或许需要，但这位心理学家可能也需要关注我们人类自身。)”可知，全文核心观点是我们既需要用心理学研究AI，也不能忽视AI对人类认知造成的影响。 Section C (2’*4=8’) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Always better together Riding the wind with its five tiny “wings”, a saxaul (梭梭树) seed lands on the sand. A quick rain shower has just brought some water onto the soil. Only two to three hours later, the seed — one of the fastest-growing in the world — has shot up. It finds itself on the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. ____47____ Its roots go deep underground to find water and nutrients, which are then transported to other parts of the plant. As days go by, the seed grows into a tree, with strong branches that help stop the sand from moving. The saxaul tree’s efforts also support another plant, the cistanche herb (肉苁蓉). ____48____ It drives its roots into the saxaul tree’s vascular system, sharing in the water and nutrients. Then one spring day, the sandy ground suddenly cracks open. The cistanche grows up into the sunlight, not far from the saxaul. The herb’s purple flowers give off a sweet smell, and a few bees come to collect nectar. As they drink the nectar, the tiny hairs on their bodies catch the pollen (花粉). As the bees move on to the next flower, they help spread plant life across the desert. ____49____ People plant saxaul forests to stop deserts from spreading, and grow cistanche herbs to sell to hospitals and healthcare companies. In addition, every April, growers rent bees from beekeepers to increase pollination (授粉) rates and produce honey. ____50____. This is part of China’s “edge-locking” project around the Taklimakan Desert. Thanks to this systematic plan, China’s biggest (and the world’s second–largest) moving desert is now being brought under control. A. Known as “desert ginseng”, this herb is a highly valued Chinese medicine. B. Though young, the plant bravely faces the strong sunlight and blowing sand. C. The symbiosis (共生) between the saxaul and the cistanche creates a connected system. D. Slowly, the strategy began to work. What was once barren land has turned into a green oasis. E. It’s a win-win situation where environmental protection and economic development go hand in hand. F. Known as a desert guardian, a fully grown saxaul tree can hold together a 10-square-meter patch of sandy land. 【答案】47. B 48. A 49. C 50.

Summary writing (10 分) 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Do We Give Weight Too Much Weight? Take your height in metres, square it, then divide it by your weight in kilograms by it. That’s how you calculate your body mass index, or BMI. Between 18 and 25 means a healthy weight; over that, it doesn’t. Simple enough. BMI has become a popular measure for assessing health. On a population level, data backs this up. People with a high BMI are statistically more likely to develop conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, and some types of cancer. Checking BMI offers a quick way to assess health and decide if lifestyle changes are needed. However, BMI does not give the full picture. It’s less accurate for some groups of people, such as children, the elderly or athletes. The measure was created in the 19th Century by a Belgian mathematician, which may explain why the figures work better for Europeans than other racial groups. It also ignores some key factors. Someone very active may have significant weight from muscle. BMI doesn’t differentiate between this or the internal fat, which is linked to health problems. It doesn’t account for the range of nutrients or the level of cholesterol (胆固醇) in someone’s diet. So people can have a high BMI yet be relatively healthy, while others with a low BMI may be unhealthy. The simplicity of BMI is attractive and fits with society’s perception of the importance of weight. However, dependence on it as an indicator of health can cause people to feel judged because of their weight. This sometimes leads people to avoid going to the doctors if they expect questions about their weight. While BMI may be a useful measure, experts remind us that it should always be considered alongside other measures, such as blood pressure, blood sugar level, cholesterol level and others. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Summary writing（One possible version） BMI, a popular health measure calculated from height and weight, helps quickly assess health risks such as hypertension and diabetes. However, it is less accurate for children, the elderly, athletes and non-Europeans, and ignores muscle, internal fat and diet. Also, depending on BMI may make people feel judged and avoid doctors. Thus, experts suggest using BMI alongside other measures. 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍 BMI 作为流行的健康评估指标的利弊，并指出专家建议需结合其他指标综合评判健康状况。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ①BMI has become a popular measure for assessing health. On a population level, data backs this up. People with a high BMI are statistically more likely to develop conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, and some types of cancer. Checking BMI offers a quick way to assess health and decide if lifestyle changes are needed. ②However, BMI does not give the full picture. It’s less accurate for some groups of people, such as children, the elderly or athletes. The measure was created in the 19th Century by a Belgian mathematician, which may explain why the figures work better for Europeans than other racial groups. ③It also ignores some key factors. Someone very active may have significant weight from muscle. BMI doesn’t differentiate between this or the internal fat, which is linked to health problems. It doesn’t account for the range of nutrients or the level of cholesterol in someone’s diet. ④However, dependence on it as an indicator of health can cause people to feel judged because of their weight. This sometimes leads people to avoid going to the doctors if they expect questions about their weight. ⑤While BMI may be a useful measure, experts remind us that it should always be considered alongside other measures, such as blood pressure, blood sugar level, cholesterol level and others. 2. 缜密构思 将①作为 BMI 优点整合；②③合并概括 BMI 的缺陷；④单独概括过度依赖 BMI 带来的负面影响；⑤放在末尾作为总结建议。 3. 遣词造句 BMI, calculated from height and weight, is a popular health measure that can quickly evaluate health risks. Yet BMI has limitations for certain groups and fails to tell muscle apart from harmful internal fat or consider diet factors. Over-reliance on BMI may make people feel judged and prevent them from seeing doctors. 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Also, depending on BMI may make people feel judged and avoid doctors.(运用了动名词短语作主语) 【高分句型 2】Thus, experts suggest using BMI alongside other measures.(运用了动名词短语作宾语) V.

One possible version Of the four optional courses, I recommend photography the most and badminton the least. Photography tops my list because it combines creativity with relaxation. Wandering around campus with a camera, we can capture beautiful moments like golden sunsets and laughing friends, which not only relieves our academic stress but also trains our aesthetic sense. Besides, the photos we take will become precious memories of our senior high school life. By contrast, badminton appeals to me least. Although exercise is important, most of us already play ball games during PE classes, so an after-school badminton course adds little new. Moreover, it simply repeats what we can do on the playground free of charge, while courses like pottery or debate offer experiences we can hardly get elsewhere. In short, photography would make our after-school hours both enjoyable and rewarding.
