B
Growing up, I always thought childhood games meant laughter and friendship. But one day, I was left alone in a tiny corner, while the rest of the group continued the hide-and-seek game, completely forgetting I was there. Finally, I realized I was forgotten by those so-called friends. That moment influenced much of my childhood, when I felt unseen and unimportant.
The bullying I faced wasn’t loud or obvious — it was covert. For years, two of my “friends” created a web of embarrassment, reducing my sense of self-worth. It took me a long time to realize that I had been allowing myself to stay stuck in that role. That realization became the beginning of my journey to regain my power.
The path to recovery started with creative expression. At 11, I turned to dance to express what I couldn’t say with words. On the stage, I could step out of my own pain and take up space in a freeing way. Through theater, I found a voice that had been silenced for so long.
Now, I use my voice to enable others, especially teens, to take a stand for themselves. I encourage them to find their way of self-expression through art, sports, etc. My work is based on the belief that when we turn our hurt into creative pursuits, we not only save ourselves but also become a light for others who may feel ignored.
From that dark corner to the stage of my life, I show others that we all can move from fear to freedom, from being unnoticed to standing out because we do matter.
24. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning his childhood experience?
A. To value his friendship. B. To lead into his growth story.
C. To show sweet memories. D. To present a popular game.
25. What does the underlined word “covert” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. clear. B. secret. C. mild. D. painful.
26. Why does the author encourage teens to express themselves creatively?
A. It shows their talents. B. It earns them public praise.
C. It helps them forget hurts. D. It gives them inner strength.
27. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Everyone is worth seeing. B. Self-expression changes lives.
C. Childhood matters for growth. D. Bullying is harmful to teenagers.
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【导语】主要讲述作者童年遭受隐性霸凌,借助艺术表达疗愈自我并鼓励青少年勇敢表达。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But one day, I was left alone in a tiny corner, while the rest of the group continued the hide-and-seek game, completely forgetting I was there. Finally, I realized I was forgotten by those so-called friends. That moment influenced much of my childhood, when I felt unseen and unimportant.(但是有一天,其他人继续玩捉迷藏,把我独自留在小角落里,完全忘了我的存在。最终我意识到自己被那些所谓的朋友遗忘了。那一刻影响了我的大部分童年,让我觉得自己不被看见、无足轻重。)”,后文由此引出作者遭受隐性霸凌、自我疗愈以及帮助他人的成长故事。由此可知,作者提及童年经历是为了引出自己的成长故事。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“The bullying I faced wasn’t loud or obvious — it was covert.(我遭遇的霸凌不是喧嚣且明显的,它是covert。)”,破折号前后形成对比,not obvious意为“不明显的”,因此covert含义为“隐秘的,暗中的”,和secret同义。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“My work is based on the belief that when we turn our hurt into creative pursuits, we not only save ourselves but also become a light for others who may feel ignored.(我的工作基于这样一种信念:当我们把伤痛转化为创造性的追求时,我们不仅能拯救自己,也能为其他感到被忽视的人点亮一束光。)”可知,创造性的自我表达能够给予青少年内在力量。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“From that dark corner to the stage of my life, I show others that we all can move from fear to freedom, from being unnoticed to standing out because we do matter.(从那个黑暗角落走到人生舞台,我向别人证明:我们都可以从恐惧走向自由,从无人关注到脱颖而出,因为我们本身就很重要。)”可知,作者想告诉我们每个人都值得被看见。
C
Artificial intelligence is changing how we predict the weather. Every year since 2018, Nature magazine has drawn up a list of emerging technologies to watch in the coming year. For 2026, one of the seven technologies on the list is AI-powered meteorology — and for good reason.
Traditional weather forecasting relies on physics-based models. Supercomputers solve complex equations to simulate how temperature, pressure, and wind evolve over time. These models are computationally expensive and often take hours to produce a single forecast. But AI is offering a faster, smarter alternative.
AI weather models are trained on decades of historical weather data. Instead of solving physical equations, they learn to recognize patterns and make predictions based on what they have seen before. The result is dramatic: forecasts that once took hours can now be generated in seconds. And they are not just faster — in many cases, they are also more accurate.
Consider Hurricane Melissa, which caused severe damage in the Caribbean last October. While traditional models were still processing data, an AI model developed by researchers at Google DeepMind in London anticipated that the storm would become a category-5 event days in advance. It also accurately predicted the hurricane’s path, giving local authorities more time to prepare.
But AI forecasting is not without its limitations. These models struggle with rare or unprecedented weather events that fall outside their training data. A storm behaving in an entirely new way might confuse an AI system that has never seen anything like it. For this reason, most experts believe the future lies in combining both approaches — using AI for speed and traditional models for reliability in extreme cases.
One thing is already clear: AI has forever changed how we predict the weather, from local storms to global climate patterns.
28. What is an advantage of AI weather models over traditional ones?
A. They require less training data.
B. They generate forecasts in less time.
C. They solve more complex equations.
D. They can predict any type of weather.
29. What does the author mainly intend to show in paragraph 4?
A. Traditional models are useful.
B. How Hurricane Melissa was formed.
C. AI weather models show high accuracy.
D. Traditional and AI models have respective strengths.
30. What is a limitation of AI weather forecasting?
A. It is too slow for everyday use.
B. It needs supercomputers to run.
C. It cannot learn from historical data.
D. It struggles with rare weather events.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Hurricane Melissa: A Victory for AI
B. AI Is Changing Weather Forecasting
C. AI vs Traditional Models: Which One Wins?
D. The End of Physics-Based Weather Prediction
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了人工智能正在改变天气预报方式,介绍了AI气象模型相比传统模型的优势、具体应用案例(如预测飓风Melissa)、存在的局限性,以及专家认为未来应将AI与传统模型结合使用的观点。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The result is dramatic: forecasts that once took hours can now be generated in seconds. (结果是显著的:过去需要数小时才能生成的预报现在可以在几秒钟内完成。)”可知,AI天气模型的一个优势是生成预报所需时间更少。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“While traditional models were still processing data, an AI model developed by researchers at Google DeepMind in London anticipated that the storm would become a category-5 event days in advance. It also accurately predicted the hurricane's path, giving local authorities more time to prepare.

Digital dementia (痴呆) has become a common cognitive hypothesis (认知假说) in the 21st century — it has weakened our ability to remember phone numbers because we store them all in contact lists, filled our waking hours with passive screen time like mindlessly watching TV, and shifted our attention with endless information streams.
But does technology truly harm the aging brain? A comprehensive new study by researchers from the United States provides an unexpected answer. Published in Nature Human Behaviour, the study combined data from 57 previous studies, which included more than 411,000 adults aged over 50. Surprisingly, the research overall revealed that higher use of computers, smartphones, and the internet might actually be associated with lower rates of cognitive decline, with a 58 percent risk reduction.
Interestingly, the effect of technology use on brain function found in this study was similar to or stronger than other known protective factors, such as physical activity, or maintaining a healthy blood pressure. This benefit remained significant even when factors like socioeconomic status and overall health were taken into account.
Why does technology use benefit older adults? Researchers suggest it comes down to how we use it. Activities, like reading or learning a new language, are known to protect our brains as we age. Similarly, greater engagement with technology may serve as a form of mental exercise. Adapting to software updates or learning to use a new smartphone keeps the brain active. Additionally, technology helps older people stay socially connected and independent for longer.
“The impact of AI on the aging brain will only become evident in future decades. However, our ability to adapt to historical technological innovations, and the potential for this to support cognitive function, suggest the future may not be all bad. For example, advances in brain-computer connections offer new hope for people with neurological (神经系统的) disease or disability. We need to carefully study how these technologies affect cognitive health over time,” says Nikki-Anne Wilson.
32. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept.
C. By providing statistics. D. By giving examples.
33. What can be inferred about the protective effect of technology use?
A. It may outperform healthy management.
B. It can reduce the need for exercise.
C. It maintains the blood pressure.
D. It varies with socioeconomic status.
34. What determines the benefits of technology use on older adults?
A. The number of online friends. B. The mental and social stimulation.
C. The frequency of software updates. D. The independent and active reading.
35. What are Nikki-Anne Wilson’s words about?
A. Advances in technological innovations. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. More care to the neurologically disabled. D. Potential application of the findings.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了研究发现合理使用数字技术可能降低老年人认知衰退风险,并探讨其背后机制与未来研究方向。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Digital dementia (痴呆) has become a common cognitive hypothesis (认知假说) in the 21st century — it has weakened our ability to remember phone numbers because we store them all in contact lists, filled our waking hours with passive screen time like mindlessly watching TV, and shifted our attention with endless information streams.(数字痴呆已成为21世纪常见的认知假说——它削弱了我们记忆电话号码的能力,因为我们将其存储在通讯录中;它用无意识地看电视等被动屏幕时间填充了我们的清醒时光;它用无尽的信息流转移了我们的注意力)”可知,作者通过定义新概念引出话题。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Interestingly, the effect of technology use on brain function found in this study was similar to or stronger than other known protective factors, such as physical activity, or maintaining a healthy blood pressure.(有趣的是,这项研究发现的技术使用对大脑功能的影响,类似于或强于其他已知的保护因素,例如体育锻炼或维持健康血压)”可推知,技术使用的保护作用在效果上可能优于健康管理(如保持血压健康)。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Similarly, greater engagement with technology may serve as a form of mental exercise. Adapting to software updates or learning to use a new smartphone keeps the brain active. Additionally, technology helps older people stay socially connected and independent for longer.(同样,更多地使用科技产品可以作为一种精神锻炼。适应软件更新或学习使用新智能手机可以让大脑保持活跃。此外,技术帮助老年人保持更长时间的社交联系和独立性)”可知,技术使用对老年人的益处取决于其带来的脑力刺激和社会联系,即精神和社会层面的刺激。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的““The impact of AI on the aging brain will only become evident in future decades. However, our ability to adapt to historical technological innovations, and the potential for this to support cognitive function, suggest the future may not be all bad. For example, advances in brain-computer connections offer new hope for people with neurological (神经系统的) disease or disability. We need to carefully study how these technologies affect cognitive health over time,” says Nikki-Anne Wilson.(Nikki-Anne Wilson表示:“人工智能对老龄化大脑的影响,未来几十年才会显现。然而,我们适应历次技术创新的能力,以及技术助力认知功能的潜力,都预示着未来未必全然黯淡。譬如,脑机连接技术的进步,便为罹患神经系统疾病或身体残疾的人群带来了新的希望。我们需要审慎研究这些技术如何随时间推移影响认知健康。”)”可知,Nikki-Anne Wilson主要指出了当前研究的局限性,并提出了未来需要关注的研究方向。

When the school announced a New Year party, Ella’s class decided to perform a dance. Ella’s teacher, Mrs. Smith, along with her best friend, Lily, immediately thought of Ella as the perfect lead dancer for the performance. Although they both encouraged Ella to join, she hesitated. The idea of performing on stage terrified (使恐惧) her. “What if I forget the steps or make a mistake in front of everyone?” she thought to herself, and couldn’t shake the feeling that she might mess up.
Ella’s teacher told her, “You have great talent, Ella. You should share it with others. Don’t let fear stop you.” Despite the encouragement, Ella remained fearful. She loved dancing but hated the idea of dancing in front of a large audience. The thought of the bright lights and the eyes of the crowd staring at her made her feel overwhelmed (不知所措的).
At home, Ella shared her worries with her parents. They listened carefully and comforted her. “Ella, you’re stronger than you think,” her mother said. “You’ve learned to dance for several years. Just do your best. We believe you can make it.” Her father added, “Don’t worry about mistakes. They’re part of learning. All you should do is focus on it.” Their words gave Ella some confidence, and she finally decided to join the performance.
Then, Ella began practicing every day, spending hours perfecting her dance moves. She practiced in front of the mirror, repeating the dance until she felt more comfortable. Even though she was still nervous, Ella overcame (克服) her fear, determined to do her best.
The night of the performance arrived, and Ella felt a mix of excitement and anxiety. As she stood backstage, her heart raced. The bright lights and large audience definitely made her nervous, but she kept reminding herself of her mother’s words, “Just do your best.”

【答案】范文
It was time for Ella and her classmates to perform. Stepping onto the stage, Ella felt her heart pounding violently. But recalling her parents’ encouragement, Ella tried to steady her breathing, reassuring herself that she would do her best. Closing her eyes, she let the rhythm of the music guide her dance moves. Gradually, the tension in her body gave way to relaxation and calmness, which made her focus on the joy of performing rather than the fear of making mistakes. Following her lead, Ella’s classmates danced gracefully as well, captivating the audience.
When the music ended, the audience erupted in cheers. Hearing the thunderous applause, Ella felt a wave of relief and pride wash over her. Meanwhile, her classmates gathered around her, congratulating one another. Her flawless performance was a testament to her triumph over the fear that once held her back. No longer burdened by self-doubt, Ella clearly realized that she had faced her fear bravely and become more confident. Whatever setbacks she might encounter in the future, Ella held a firm belief that with determination and practice, she could overcome any challenge that stood in her way to success.

Growing up, I always thought childhood games meant laughter and friendship. But one day, I was left alone in a tiny corner, while the rest of the group continued the hide-and-seek game, completely forgetting I was there. Finally, I realized I was forgotten by those so-called friends. That moment influenced much of my childhood, when I felt unseen and unimportant.
The bullying I faced wasn’t loud or obvious — it was covert. For years, two of my “friends” created a web of embarrassment, reducing my sense of self-worth. It took me a long time to realize that I had been allowing myself to stay stuck in that role. That realization became the beginning of my journey to regain my power.
The path to recovery started with creative expression. At 11, I turned to dance to express what I couldn’t say with words. On the stage, I could step out of my own pain and take up space in a freeing way. Through theater, I found a voice that had been silenced for so long.
Now, I use my voice to enable others, especially teens, to take a stand for themselves. I encourage them to find their way of self-expression through art, sports, etc. My work is based on the belief that when we turn our hurt into creative pursuits, we not only save ourselves but also become a light for others who may feel ignored.
From that dark corner to the stage of my life, I show others that we all can move from fear to freedom, from being unnoticed to standing out because we do matter.
24. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning his childhood experience?
A. To value his friendship. B. To lead into his growth story.
C. To show sweet memories. D. To present a popular game.
25. What does the underlined word “covert” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. clear. B. secret. C. mild. D. painful.
26. Why does the author encourage teens to express themselves creatively?
A. It shows their talents. B. It earns them public praise.
C. It helps them forget hurts. D. It gives them inner strength.
27. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Everyone is worth seeing. B. Self-expression changes lives.

Artificial intelligence is changing how we predict the weather. Every year since 2018, Nature magazine has drawn up a list of emerging technologies to watch in the coming year. For 2026, one of the seven technologies on the list is AI-powered meteorology — and for good reason.
Traditional weather forecasting relies on physics-based models. Supercomputers solve complex equations to simulate how temperature, pressure, and wind evolve over time. These models are computationally expensive and often take hours to produce a single forecast. But AI is offering a faster, smarter alternative.
AI weather models are trained on decades of historical weather data. Instead of solving physical equations, they learn to recognize patterns and make predictions based on what they have seen before. The result is dramatic: forecasts that once took hours can now be generated in seconds. And they are not just faster — in many cases, they are also more accurate.
Consider Hurricane Melissa, which caused severe damage in the Caribbean last October. While traditional models were still processing data, an AI model developed by researchers at Google DeepMind in London anticipated that the storm would become a category-5 event days in advance. It also accurately predicted the hurricane’s path, giving local authorities more time to prepare.
But AI forecasting is not without its limitations. These models struggle with rare or unprecedented weather events that fall outside their training data. A storm behaving in an entirely new way might confuse an AI system that has never seen anything like it. For this reason, most experts believe the future lies in combining both approaches — using AI for speed and traditional models for reliability in extreme cases.
One thing is already clear: AI has forever changed how we predict the weather, from local storms to global climate patterns.
28. What is an advantage of AI weather models over traditional ones?
A. They require less training data.
B. They generate forecasts in less time.
C. They solve more complex equations.
D. They can predict any type of weather.
29. What does the author mainly intend to show in paragraph 4?
A. Traditional models are useful.
B. How Hurricane Melissa was formed.
C. AI weather models show high accuracy.
D. Traditional and AI models have respective strengths.
30. What is a limitation of AI weather forecasting?
A. It is too slow for everyday use.
B. It needs supercomputers to run.
C. It cannot learn from historical data.
D. It struggles with rare weather events.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Hurricane Melissa: A Victory for AI
B. AI Is Changing Weather Forecasting
C. AI vs Traditional Models: Which One Wins?
D. The End of Physics-Based Weather Prediction
D
Digital dementia (痴呆) has become a common cognitive hypothesis (认知假说) in the 21st century — it has weakened our ability to remember phone numbers because we store them all in contact lists, filled our waking hours with passive screen time like mindlessly watching TV, and shifted our attention with endless information streams.
But does technology truly harm the aging brain? A comprehensive new study by researchers from the United States provides an unexpected answer. Published in Nature Human Behaviour, the study combined data from 57 previous studies, which included more than 411,000 adults aged over 50. Surprisingly, the research overall revealed that higher use of computers, smartphones, and the internet might actually be associated with lower rates of cognitive decline, with a 58 percent risk reduction.
Interestingly, the effect of technology use on brain function found in this study was similar to or stronger than other known protective factors, such as physical activity, or maintaining a healthy blood pressure. This benefit remained significant even when factors like socioeconomic status and overall health were taken into account.
Why does technology use benefit older adults? Researchers suggest it comes down to how we use it. Activities, like reading or learning a new language, are known to protect our brains as we age. Similarly, greater engagement with technology may serve as a form of mental exercise. Adapting to software updates or learning to use a new smartphone keeps the brain active. Additionally, technology helps older people stay socially connected and independent for longer.
“The impact of AI on the aging brain will only become evident in future decades. However, our ability to adapt to historical technological innovations, and the potential for this to support cognitive function, suggest the future may not be all bad. For example, advances in brain-computer connections offer new hope for people with neurological (神经系统的) disease or disability. We need to carefully study how these technologies affect cognitive health over time,” says Nikki-Anne Wilson.
32. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept.
C. By providing statistics. D. By giving examples.
33. What can be inferred about the protective effect of technology use?
A. It may outperform healthy management.
B. It can reduce the need for exercise.
C. It maintains the blood pressure.
D. It varies with socioeconomic status.
34. What determines the benefits of technology use on older adults?
A. The number of online friends. B. The mental and social stimulation.
C. The frequency of software updates. D. The independent and active reading.
35. What are Nikki-Anne Wilson’s words about?
A. Advances in technological innovations. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. More care to the neurologically disabled. D. Potential application of the findings.

When the school announced a New Year party, Ella’s class decided to perform a dance. Ella’s teacher, Mrs. Smith, along with her best friend, Lily, immediately thought of Ella as the perfect lead dancer for the performance. Although they both encouraged Ella to join, she hesitated. The idea of performing on stage terrified (使恐惧) her. “What if I forget the steps or make a mistake in front of everyone?” she thought to herself, and couldn’t shake the feeling that she might mess up.
Ella’s teacher told her, “You have great talent, Ella. You should share it with others. Don’t let fear stop you.” Despite the encouragement, Ella remained fearful. She loved dancing but hated the idea of dancing in front of a large audience. The thought of the bright lights and the eyes of the crowd staring at her made her feel overwhelmed (不知所措的).
At home, Ella shared her worries with her parents. They listened carefully and comforted her. “Ella, you’re stronger than you think,” her mother said. “You’ve learned to dance for several years. Just do your best. We believe you can make it.” Her father added, “Don’t worry about mistakes. They’re part of learning. All you should do is focus on it.” Their words gave Ella some confidence, and she finally decided to join the performance.
Then, Ella began practicing every day, spending hours perfecting her dance moves. She practiced in front of the mirror, repeating the dance until she felt more comfortable. Even though she was still nervous, Ella overcame (克服) her fear, determined to do her best.
The night of the performance arrived, and Ella felt a mix of excitement and anxiety. As she stood backstage, her heart raced. The bright lights and large audience definitely made her nervous, but she kept reminding herself of her mother’s words, “Just do your best.”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was time for Ella and her classmates to perform.
