B 【解析】 【原文】As a corporate psychologist, I have always emphasized the importance of small work habits — they can make or break long-term performance. Let me start with something simple — keep your workspace functional. I once worked with a project manager who was used to keeping all the distractions out of his sight and key documents within arm’s reach, which helped him stay focused and achieve great success in his career. Communication with colleagues is another common challenge. Don’t try to impress them by nonstop talking. Listen first and respond properly instead. Next, asking for leave is where many employees trip up. It’s widely believed that a good excuse matters greatly. However, planning your work beforehand is actually the key priority. I advise you to request politely, explain how your duties will be covered, and avoid last-minute surprises. Getting into good working habits isn’t a 100-meter sprint — it’s a marathon. Keep the points I’ve mentioned in mind, and gradually put theory into practice. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Thanks for your interest in visiting the Los Angeles Zoo with your school group! Please read the following information before booking your field trip. Requirements Special discounted admission prices are available with advance reservations ONLY for California school groups, short-termed as CSG, (registered with the California Department of Education). They can enjoy 10% off. PLEASE NOTE: Reservation blackout dates (限制日期) may apply to all groups at certain times of the year (e.g. holidays and spring break). If your group comes on a blackout date or has not made the necessary reservations before arriving at the Zoo, your group will be charged the regular admission fees. Docent (讲解员) — Guided Tours Our docent guides lead educational walking tours for students and their teachers, beginning at first grade. A limited number of docent-guided tours are available. There is no additional fee for a docent-guided tour, but you must book your tour at least two weeks in advance. Do not assume you have a guided tour booked until you have received a confirmation number and packet from the Los Angeles Zoo. On the day of your field trip, your group will need to arrive at least 30 minutes before the confirmed start time of your tour to check in. Make sure to tell Zoo staff upon your arrival that your group has a docent-guided tour. If you are more than 15 minutes late for your tour, it may be canceled. Maximum number: 150 participants Ages: K-12 Regular Pricing: $5 per student, 1 teacher per 10 students is included, $5 per additional teacher 21. How much should be paid if a California school group with 2 teachers and 13 students has made an early booking for the zoo? A. $70. B. $67.5. C. $63. D. $75. 22. From the above information, we can learn that . A. California groups have access to special discounted prices B. a field group must arrive half an hour earlier to check in C. additional fees for a docent-guided tour will be chained D. all groups may have to pay regular prices in spring break 23. Where is the text most likely from? A. A bulletin board. B. A magazine. C. A journal. D. A report. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了学校团体参观参观洛杉矶动物园的要求和注意事项。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一行“Regular Pricing: $5 per student, 1 teacher per 10 students is included, $5 per additional teacher (正常价格：每名学生5美元，每10名学生1名教师，每增加一名教师5美元)”可知，13名学生应付65美元，再加上一名教师5美元，为70美元；再根据Requirements中“Special discounted admission prices are available with advance reservations ONLY for California school groups, short-termed as CSG, (registered with the California Department of Education). They can enjoy 10% off.(只有提前预约的加州学校团体，简称CSG(在加州教育部注册)才能享受特别折扣的入场费。他们可以享受九折优惠)”可知，一个由2名教师和13名学生组成的加州学校团体提前预订了动物园，应该支付$70×90%=$63。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据PLEASE NOTE:中“Reservation blackout dates (限制日期) may apply to all groups at certain times of the year (e.g. holidays and spring break). If your group comes on a blackout date or has not made the necessary reservations before arriving at the Zoo, your group will be charged the regular admission fees. (在一年中的特定时间(如节假日和春假)，所有团体的预订截止日期可能适用。如果您的团队在限时日期到来或在到达动物园之前没有进行必要的预订，您的团队将被收取正常的入场费)”可知，所有团体在春假期间可能必须支付固定价格。故选D项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据第一段中“Thanks for your interest in visiting the Los Angeles Zoo with your school group! Please read the following information before booking your field trip. (感谢你有兴趣和你的学校团体一起参观洛杉矶动物园！请在预订您的实地考察之前阅读以下信息)”可知，本文主要介绍了学校团体参观参观洛杉矶动物园的要求和注意事项。由此推知，文章很可能来自公告栏。故选A项。 B In first grade, I took a spelling test with the word “of” on it. O-F. Of. Every student in the class spelled it correctly except Malcolm, who wrote “Uv.” I initially thought how stupid this kid was. But later it hit me that spelling “of” with a U and a V made more sense than with an O and an F, which had nothing to do with the sounds in the word “of.” Why was this ever-so-simple word spelled so illogically? The best answer I had was: That’s just the way it is. That’s what adults told me was the truth, and that’s how I had to spell the word to get it right on the test. So I’d better just keep quiet, look smart, and use an O and an F. I didn’t know it then, but this was my first brush with an understanding of what indoctrination was. We all embraced standards silently because they were backed by authority and custom. It was the rule, and the world would see Malcolm as stupid, and not the spelling. As I grew older, this memory helped me realize that the world has lots of strange rules and assumptions that we rarely question. As a teenager, I called them “uvisms,” spelled with a U and a V. For example, we are often told that success means good grades, yet many creative minds struggle in school but shine later in life. Such beliefs don’t always hold true. Growing up, I recognized the presence of these uvisms in the expectations placed on me by my surroundings. My parents, though well-meaning, handed down values that no longer fit my life. I doubted many, chose my own path and achieved great success — just as I chose to spell “of” with O and F to pass the test, but never stopped thinking about the U and the V. I have learned that many rules and traditions are there for good reasons, but many are not. You don’t have to follow all of them. I believe in the misspelling of the word “of,” and the necessity for each generation to rethink the assumptions of the previous generation. 24. What did the author think of “Uv”? A. It seemed odd but reasonable. B. It showed Malcolm’s talent. C. It helped to achieve good grades. D. It proved novel but controversial. 25. What does the underlined word “indoctrination” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Promoting creative projects. B. Teaching without questioning. C. Extending existing standards. D. Interacting without interrupting. 26. How did the author feel about the “uvisms”? A. Respectful. B. Astonished. C. Inspired. D. Critical. 27. What does the author’s experience show? A. Interest is the best teacher. B. Curiosity is the key to knowledge. C. Doubt is the beginning of wisdom. D. Creativity is the bridge to success. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者儿时目睹同学按发音拼写单词of却被判错，由此感悟社会存在诸多不经质疑的固有规则，倡导人们敢于质疑、重新审视前人的固有认知。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But later it hit me that spelling “of” with a U and a V made more sense than with an O and an F, which had nothing to do with the sounds in the word “of.” (但后来我意识到，用U和V拼写of比O和F更合乎逻辑，O和F和of这个单词的发音毫无关系)”可知，作者认为Uv这种拼法看着怪异，但从发音角度是说得通的。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“I didn’t know it then, but this was my first brush with an understanding of what indoctrination was. We all embraced standards silently because they were backed by authority and custom. It was the rule, and the world would see Malcolm as stupid, and not the spelling. (那时我并不知道，这却是我第一次开始理解____是什么。我们都默默接受既定标准，只因它们由权威与习俗背书。这就是既定规则，世人只会觉得Malcolm愚蠢，不会怀疑这套拼写本身)”可知，indoctrination指不加思辨、一味遵从权威灌输，也就是不加质疑地灌输教导。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“As I grew older, this memory helped me realize that the world has lots of strange rules and assumptions that we rarely question. (随着年龄增长，这段记忆让我意识到，世界上存在许多奇怪的规则和假设，而我们很少去质疑。)”以及“Such beliefs don’t always hold true. (这类观念并非永远成立)”以及第五段“I doubted many, chose my own path and achieved great success (我质疑许多固有观念，选择自己的道路并取得成功)”可知，作者对“uvisms”这类盲从的固有规则持批判态度。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“I doubted many, chose my own path and achieved great success — just as I chose to spell “of” with O and F to pass the test, but never stopped thinking about the U and the V. (我质疑许多固有观念，选择自己的道路并取得成功——就像我选择用O和F拼写“of”来通过考试一样，却从未停止思考U和V的存在。)”以及最后一段“I believe in the misspelling of the word “of,” and the necessity for each generation to rethink the assumptions of the previous generation. (我认可“of”一词的拼写错误，也认为每一代人都有必要重新审视前一代人的固有设想)”可知，全文核心是倡导敢于质疑，质疑开启智慧。 C Is it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition (认知)? What about our body? Is it possible for thought and behavior to originate from somewhere other than our brain? Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition (EC) ask similar questions. The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure. If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs — they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world, they cry when they’re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved. Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still disagree on whether the brain is the nerve centre that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorizes that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions. Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. In one experiment, test subjects (实验对象) were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too; in another study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being“included” in or “rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer. For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻说法) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages. Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it? If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions. 28. According to the author, the significance of the EC theory lies in ________. A. facilitating our understanding of the origin of psychology B. revealing the major role of the mind in human cognition C. offering a clearer picture of the shape of human brain D. bringing us closer to the truth in human cognition 29. Where does the newborns’ understanding of their surroundings start from? A. Their personal looks. B. Their mental needs. C. Their inner emotions. D. Their physical feelings. 30. What does the author intend to prove by citing the metaphors in Paragraph 5? A. Human speech is alive with metaphors. B. Human senses have effects on thinking. C. Human language is shaped by visual images. D. Human emotions are often compared to natural materials. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To share with the reader ways to release their emotions. B. To guide the reader onto the path to career success. C. To encourage the reader to put EC into practice. D. To deepen the reader’s understanding of EC. 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了具身认知（EC）理论，该理论认为我们的身体也参与思考或解决问题，即心灵塑造身体，身体也塑造心灵。文章通过实验和比喻等方式支持了这一理论，并鼓励读者将具身认知理论应用于实际生活中。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure. (具身认知理论认为，我们的身体也负责思考或解决问题。更准确地说，心灵塑造身体，身体也塑造心灵，二者同等重要。)”可知，具身认知理论的意义在于它让我们更接近人类认知的真相，即身体和心灵在认知过程中都起着重要作用。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. (想想新生儿是如何利用他们的感官来理解周围的世界的。)” 可知，新生儿对周围环境的理解始于他们的身体感觉。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻说法) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages. (为了进一步证明，我们可以看看我们不假思索就使用的比喻。一个善良、富有同情心的人经常被称为心地善良的人，而在困难情况下非常坚强、冷静的人则经常被形容为坚如磐石。这种比喻的使用在各种语言中都很常见。)”可知，作者通过引用比喻来证明人类的感官对思维有影响，即我们使用的比喻往往与我们的身体感觉相关联。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it? If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions. (既然你已经了解了身心互动的知识，为什么不运用它呢？如果你今天过得很糟糕，一杯热茶会给你带来一丝快乐。如果你知道自己身体很冷，在做任何人际决定之前先暖和一下。)”可知，作者写最后一段的目的是鼓励读者将具身认知理论应用于实际生活中。故选C项。 D An artificial intelligence can decode (解码) words and sentences from brain activity with surprising accuracy. Using only a few seconds of brain activity data, the AI guesses what a person has heard. It lists the correct answer in its top 10 possibilities, researchers found in a primary study. Developed at the parent company of Facebook, Meta, the AI could eventually be used to help thousands of people around the world who are unable to communicate through speech, typing or gestures. Most existing technologies to help such patients communicate require risky brain surgeries to put in electrodes (电极). This new approach “could provide a possible path to help patients with communication problems, avoiding the use of surgeries,” says neuroscientist Jean-Rémi King, a Meta AI researcher. King and his colleagues trained a computational tool, also known as a language model, to detect words and sentences on 56, 000 hours of speech recordings from 53 languages. The team applied an AI with this language model to databases from four institutions that included brain activity from 169 volunteers. In these databases, participants listened to various stories and sentences, while the people’s brains were scanned by magnetoencephalography (MEG)(脑磁图). Then with the help of a computational method that helps account for physical differences among actual brains, the team tried to decode what participants had heard using just three seconds of brain activity data from each person. The team instructed the AI to match up the speech sounds from the story recordings with patterns of brain activity that the AI computed as corresponding to what people were hearing. It then made predictions about what the person might have been hearing during that short time, given more than 1, 000 possibilities. Using MEG, the correct answer was in the AI’s top 10 guesses, the researchers found. “The new study is decoding of speech recognition, not production,” King agrees, “Though speech production is the final goal, for now, we’re quite a long way away.” 32. What is the main advantage of the new technology? A. Avoiding dangerous operations on patients. B. Freeing patients from risky brain operations. C. Providing a path to communicate with others. D. Helping patients with communication problems. 33. What does the AI require to make its prediction? A. Top ten guesses. B. Speech production. C. Patterns of brain activity. D. Volunteers with disability. 34. What does Jean-Rémi King think of the new study? A. Disappointing. B. Promising. C. Surprising. D. Exciting. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. A New Way to Decode Speech B. The Application of MEG Technology C. A New Study on Artificial Intelligence D. A Solution to Communication Problems 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科技类说明文，介绍一项新研究指出人工智能可以以惊人的准确性从大脑活动中解码语音，最终帮助世界各地成千上万无法通过语音、打字或手势进行交流的人。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This new approach “could provide a possible path to help patients with communication problems, avoiding the use of surgeries”(这种新方法“可以提供一条可能的途径，帮助有沟通问题的患者，避免使用手术。”)”可知，这种新方法的主要优势是可以不用手术为有交流问题的病人提供帮助。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The team instructed the AI to match up the speech sounds from the story recordings with patterns of brain activity that the AI computed as corresponding to what people were hearing. It then made predictions about what the person might have been hearing during that short time, given more than 1, 000 possibilities.(该团队指示人工智能将故事录音中的语音与人工智能计算出的与人们听到的内容相对应的大脑活动模式相匹配。然后，它根据1000多种可能性，对这个人在短时间内可能听到的内容做出预测。)”可知，人工智能需要运用大脑活动模式做出预测。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的““The new study is decoding of speech recognition, not production,” King agrees, “Though speech production is the final goal, for now, we’re quite a long way away.”(“新的研究是解码语音识别，而不是产生，”King同意，“虽然语音产生是最终目标，但目前，我们还有很长的路要走。”)”可知，Jean-Rémi King认为新的研究有前景，故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“An artificial intelligence can decode (解码) words and sentences from brain activity with surprising accuracy. Using only a few seconds of brain activity data, the AI guesses what a person has heard.(人工智能可以以惊人的准确度从大脑活动中解码单词和句子。只需要几秒钟的大脑活动数据，人工智能就能猜测出一个人听到了什么。)”和第二段的“Developed at the parent company of Facebook, Meta, the AI could eventually be used to help thousands of people around the world who are unable to communicate through speech, typing or gestures.(这款人工智能由Facebook的母公司Meta开发，最终可用于帮助全球成千上万无法通过语音、打字或手势进行交流的人。)”可知，本文主要讲的是一项新研究指出人工智能可以以惊人的准确性从大脑活动中解码语音，最终帮助世界各地成千上万无法通过语音、打字或手势进行交流的人，因此最好的题目是A选项“A New Way to Decode Speech(语音解码的新方法)”，故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With climate change continuing to worsen, our situation is beginning to feel increasingly serious. ____36____ Is it right? Maybe not. Techno-optimism is one of the greatest misconceptions when it comes to solutions to ensure our future. It can be defined as a belief that future technologies will solve all of our current problems. This definition reinforces (强化) the idea that there’s no reason to panic or change our current energy-intensive lifestyle. All society needs to do is look to green technology to work its magic. ____37____ One of the best examples of this optimistic misconception is the electric car. Despite being highly regarded as an eco-friendly way to get around, electric cars are not the end for the future of transport. Batteries in electric cars use chemical elements which we could be seeing a shortage of by the midcentury. ____38____ Techno-optimism has led many to believe that if everyone just switched to driving electric vehicles, we would be making incredible steps towards sustainability. However, the reality is that the amount of resources and energy needed to produce enough electric vehicles for everyone is not even remotely sustainable. ____39____ Investing in public transportation and moving away from individually owned vehicles. Producing fewer cars. Improving recycling practices of old batteries. The solutions we seek should not be rooted in new technology, but be about changing the way our society functions. Techno-optimism puts too much emphasis on technology and not enough on what we can do right this minute. Unfortunately, people seem to like the picture that techno-optimism paints. ____40____ It is important to understand that the problem begins when we see those technologies as a way to make our current lifestyles eco-friendly. Until we are ready to face the need for a less complex life, we cannot make true progress towards sustainability. A. So where should we look for answers instead? B. The modern world’s simple solution is technology. C. Moreover, they are more energy intensive to produce. D. Is it a trap that many people have fallen into in recent years? E. Unfortunately, this is an incredibly dangerous opinion to hold. F. Despite any technology, we as a whole are not living sustainably. G. Nevertheless, the truth is, we need a widespread change in our lifestyles. 【答案】36. B 37. E 38. C 39. A 40. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出“技术乐观主义”试图用技术解决当前的气候问题，作者用电动汽车的例子来证明这种想法似乎是没用的。改变我们的社会运作方式，以及人们的生活方式才是解决问题的关键所在。 【36题详解】 根据上文“With climate change continuing to worsen, our situation is beginning to feel increasingly serious.(随着气候变化的持续恶化，我们的情况开始变得越来越严重)”可知，气候问题持续恶化，人类的情况开始变得越来越严重。由此推知，人类可能会采取解决气候问题的办法。结合下文“Techno-optimism is one of the greatest misconceptions when it comes to solutions to ensure our future. It can be defined as a belief that future technologies will solve all of our current problems.(当谈到确保我们未来的解决方案时，技术乐观主义是最大的误解之一。它可以被定义为相信未来的技术将解决我们当前的所有问题)”可知，人们试图依靠技术来解决气候问题。B项“The modern world’s simple solution is technology.(现代世界的简单解决方案就是技术)”符合题意。故选B。 【37题详解】 空处位于段末应承接上文。根据上文“Techno-optimism is one of the greatest misconceptions when it comes to solutions to ensure our future. It can be defined as a belief that future technologies will solve all of our current problems. This definition reinforces (强化) the idea that there’s no reason to panic or change our current energy-intensive lifestyle. All society needs to do is look to green technology to work its magic.(当谈到确保我们未来的解决方案时，技术乐观主义是最大的误解之一。它可以被定义为相信未来的技术将解决我们当前的所有问题。这个定义强化了这样一种观点，即没有理由恐慌或改变我们当前的能源密集型生活方式。社会所需要做的就是期待绿色技术发挥其魔力)”可知，上文提到了“没有理由恐慌或改变我们当前的能源密集型生活方式”这种观点，由此推知，下文应对这种观点进行评价。E项“Unfortunately, this is an incredibly dangerous opinion to hold.(不幸的是，这是一个极其危险的观点)”符合题意。故选E。 【38题详解】 根据上文“One of the best examples of this optimistic misconception is the electric car. Despite being highly regarded as an eco-friendly way to get around, electric cars are not the end for the future of transport. Batteries in electric cars use chemical elements which we could be seeing a shortage of by the midcentury.(电动汽车就是这种乐观误解的最好例子之一。尽管电动汽车被高度认为是一种环保的出行方式，但它并不是未来交通的终点。电动汽车中的电池使用的化学元素到本世纪中叶可能会出现短缺)”可知，上文提到了电动汽车的弊端。结合本段主要谈论“乐观误解”推知，空处应继续对电动汽车的弊端进行陈述。C项“Moreover, they are more energy intensive to produce.(此外，它们的生产更耗能)”符合题意。故选C。 【39题详解】 空处位于段首，应为本段主旨句或引出本段内容。根据下文“Investing in public transportation and moving away from individually owned vehicles. Producing fewer cars, Improving recycling practices of old batteries. The solutions we seek should not be rooted in new technology, but be about changing the way our society functions.(投资公共交通，远离个人拥有的车辆。生产更少的汽车，改善旧电池的回收利用做法。我们寻求的解决方案不应该植根于新技术，而应该改变我们社会的运作方式)”可知，作者认为我们应该改变社会的运作方式，这才是解决气候问题的办法。A项“So where should we look for answers instead?(那么，我们应该在哪里寻找答案呢？)”符合题意，引出本段内容，下文是对该问题的回答。故选A。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Techno-optimism puts too much emphasis on technology and not enough on what we can do right this minute. Unfortunately, people seem to like the picture that techno-optimism paints.(技术乐观主义过于强调技术，而对我们现在能做的事情却不够重视。不幸的是，人们似乎喜欢技术乐观主义所描绘的画面)”和下文“It is important to understand that the problem begins when we see those technologies as a way to make our current lifestyles eco-friendly. (重要的是要理解，当我们将这些技术视为使我们当前的生活方式环保的一种方式时，问题就开始了)”可知，人们似乎更喜欢依靠技术解决问题，当我们把技术视为当前的环保生活方式时，问题就开始了。由此可知，要解决气候问题，不能只依靠技术，关键是要从很大程度上改变我们的生活方式。G项“Nevertheless, the truth is, we need a widespread change in our lifestyles.(然而，事实是，我们需要广泛改变我们的生活方式)”符合题意。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完型填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I log onto a computer at the doctor’s office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】being struck 【解析】 【详解】句意：全球变暖导致该地区遭受飓风、洪水和干旱等极端天气的袭击。固定搭配lead to中，to是介词，后接动名词形式与the area构成动名词的复合结构；the area和strike之间为被动关系，因此用动名词的被动形式being struck。 58. Perseverance plays a ________ (dominate) role in our academic performance. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】dominant 【解析】 【详解】句意：毅力在我们的学业表现中起着主导作用。本空修饰名词role，作定语，用形容词dominant“占主导的”。 59.

Niesha could not forget the way she had frozen in front of the class. Mr. Roberts had divided the class into groups to do presentations. Today had been Niesha’s turn. However, her hands had shaken so badly that she couldn’t read her notes. Her voice had become softer to the point of silence. Mr. Roberts had kindly ended Niesha’s part of the presentation, even though she had clearly not finished. He had also asked Niesha to stay after class for a moment. “Niesha, I know you’re shy, but you worked hard on this project. I’d hate to see you give up on yourself.” Then Mr. Roberts hesitated, before saying, “If I give you another chance until tomorrow, do you think you can find your courage?” Niesha nodded, grateful for the chance. She went as quickly as she could to her next class. She kept her head down and hoped the school day would end soon. When she reached the back steps that afternoon, she could see an inviting light coming from the kitchen windows. Mom was baking. Mom studied Niesha’s face as she came into the kitchen. “What’s wrong, Niesha?” Tears shone in Niesha’s brown eyes. She told her the whole story. Mom was silent for a moment, her hands still busy with the cake. “Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything, but you can’t talk to your class?” Mom asked. She set the timer (计时器) and then said, “Let me show you something.” Niesha followed Mom to her bedroom. There Mom showed her a book filled with newspaper clippings and pictures. In it there was a blue ribbon (丝带) that said “First Place” and a picture of herself when she was very young, standing with her parents. “I won it for public speaking (演讲). When I started on the speech team I was quiet as a mouse, but I ended the year as the winner. It wasn’t easy at first — I wasn’t sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.” 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。 Hearing Mom’s words, Niesha gazed at the precious blue ribbon, lost in thought. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day Niesha again walked to the front of the classroom to give her presentation. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文参考 Hearing Mom’s words, Niesha gazed at the precious blue ribbon, lost in thought. She imagined the scene where her Mom tried her best to overcome her fears and pluck up her courage to deliver a fantastic speech to the audience. Perceiving Niesha’s anxiety, Mom reassured her and reached out her hand to tie the blue ribbon onto Niesha’s wrist with a disarming smile. Restored and determined, she gritted her teeth to find her courage. In front of the mirror parked Neisha continuously practicing from pronunciation to tone, even gesture. “Try harder,” she perked herself up when drowsiness fell upon her. The next day Niesha again walked to the front of the classroom to give her presentation. Shy, she customarily lowered her head and averted her gaze, numb there for seconds. Shortly afterwards, courage found its way back the moment she caught sight of the blue ribbon. Comforted and inspired, she took a deep breath, and summoned up her courage, “Dear fellow students, …” Niesha cast a glance at Mr Roberts standing in the corner smiling at her. A self-reassuring smile spread across Niesha’s face. She knew for sure that she had found her courage in the adversity. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索。讲述妮莎课堂展示时紧张得僵住，没能完成发言。老师给了她第二天重新展示的机会。她十分难过，回家向妈妈倾诉烦恼。妈妈拿出自己旧时演讲获奖的纪念品，告诉妮莎自己从前也十分内向，鼓励她直面恐惧，找寻内心的勇气。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写听了妈妈的话，妮莎深受鼓舞，戴上丝带连夜反复练习演讲，下定决心勇敢尝试。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写第二天妮莎上台演讲，看到手腕丝带重拾勇气，从容开口，她终于战胜胆怯。 2.续写线索：妮莎陷入沉思——妈妈安抚——妮莎鼓起勇气——做报告——完成报告 3.词类激活： 行为类： 想象：imagine/picture 克服：overcome/get over 情绪类 担忧：anxiety/concern 受鼓舞的：inspired/motivated 【点睛】【高分句型1】She imagined the scene where her Mom tried her best to overcome her fears and pluck up her courage to deliver a fantastic speech to the audience.

Where is the text most likely from? A. A bulletin board. B. A magazine. C. A journal. D. A report. B In first grade, I took a spelling test with the word “of” on it. O-F. Of. Every student in the class spelled it correctly except Malcolm, who wrote “Uv.” I initially thought how stupid this kid was. But later it hit me that spelling “of” with a U and a V made more sense than with an O and an F, which had nothing to do with the sounds in the word “of.” Why was this ever-so-simple word spelled so illogically? The best answer I had was: That’s just the way it is. That’s what adults told me was the truth, and that’s how I had to spell the word to get it right on the test. So I’d better just keep quiet, look smart, and use an O and an F. I didn’t know it then, but this was my first brush with an understanding of what indoctrination was. We all embraced standards silently because they were backed by authority and custom. It was the rule, and the world would see Malcolm as stupid, and not the spelling. As I grew older, this memory helped me realize that the world has lots of strange rules and assumptions that we rarely question. As a teenager, I called them “uvisms,” spelled with a U and a V. For example, we are often told that success means good grades, yet many creative minds struggle in school but shine later in life. Such beliefs don’t always hold true. Growing up, I recognized the presence of these uvisms in the expectations placed on me by my surroundings. My parents, though well-meaning, handed down values that no longer fit my life. I doubted many, chose my own path and achieved great success — just as I chose to spell “of” with O and F to pass the test, but never stopped thinking about the U and the V. I have learned that many rules and traditions are there for good reasons, but many are not. You don’t have to follow all of them. I believe in the misspelling of the word “of,” and the necessity for each generation to rethink the assumptions of the previous generation. 24. What did the author think of “Uv”? A. It seemed odd but reasonable. B. It showed Malcolm’s talent. C. It helped to achieve good grades. D. It proved novel but controversial. 25. What does the underlined word “indoctrination” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Promoting creative projects. B. Teaching without questioning. C. Extending existing standards. D. Interacting without interrupting. 26. How did the author feel about the “uvisms”? A. Respectful. B. Astonished. C. Inspired. D. Critical. 27. What does the author’s experience show? A. Interest is the best teacher. B. Curiosity is the key to knowledge. C. Doubt is the beginning of wisdom. D. Creativity is the bridge to success. C Is it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition (认知)? What about our body? Is it possible for thought and behavior to originate from somewhere other than our brain? Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition (EC) ask similar questions. The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure. If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs — they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world, they cry when they’re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved. Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still disagree on whether the brain is the nerve centre that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorizes that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions. Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. In one experiment, test subjects (实验对象) were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too; in another study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being“included” in or “rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer. For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻说法) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages. Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it? If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions. 28. According to the author, the significance of the EC theory lies in ________. A. facilitating our understanding of the origin of psychology B. revealing the major role of the mind in human cognition C. offering a clearer picture of the shape of human brain D. bringing us closer to the truth in human cognition 29. Where does the newborns’ understanding of their surroundings start from? A. Their personal looks. B. Their mental needs. C. Their inner emotions. D. Their physical feelings. 30. What does the author intend to prove by citing the metaphors in Paragraph 5? A. Human speech is alive with metaphors. B. Human senses have effects on thinking. C. Human language is shaped by visual images. D. Human emotions are often compared to natural materials. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To share with the reader ways to release their emotions. B. To guide the reader onto the path to career success. C. To encourage the reader to put EC into practice. D. To deepen the reader’s understanding of EC. D An artificial intelligence can decode (解码) words and sentences from brain activity with surprising accuracy. Using only a few seconds of brain activity data, the AI guesses what a person has heard. It lists the correct answer in its top 10 possibilities, researchers found in a primary study. Developed at the parent company of Facebook, Meta, the AI could eventually be used to help thousands of people around the world who are unable to communicate through speech, typing or gestures. Most existing technologies to help such patients communicate require risky brain surgeries to put in electrodes (电极). This new approach “could provide a possible path to help patients with communication problems, avoiding the use of surgeries,” says neuroscientist Jean-Rémi King, a Meta AI researcher. King and his colleagues trained a computational tool, also known as a language model, to detect words and sentences on 56, 000 hours of speech recordings from 53 languages. The team applied an AI with this language model to databases from four institutions that included brain activity from 169 volunteers. In these databases, participants listened to various stories and sentences, while the people’s brains were scanned by magnetoencephalography (MEG)(脑磁图). Then with the help of a computational method that helps account for physical differences among actual brains, the team tried to decode what participants had heard using just three seconds of brain activity data from each person. The team instructed the AI to match up the speech sounds from the story recordings with patterns of brain activity that the AI computed as corresponding to what people were hearing. It then made predictions about what the person might have been hearing during that short time, given more than 1, 000 possibilities. Using MEG, the correct answer was in the AI’s top 10 guesses, the researchers found. “The new study is decoding of speech recognition, not production,” King agrees, “Though speech production is the final goal, for now, we’re quite a long way away.” 32. What is the main advantage of the new technology? A. Avoiding dangerous operations on patients. B. Freeing patients from risky brain operations. C. Providing a path to communicate with others. D. Helping patients with communication problems. 33. What does the AI require to make its prediction? A. Top ten guesses. B. Speech production. C. Patterns of brain activity. D. Volunteers with disability. 34. What does Jean-Rémi King think of the new study? A. Disappointing. B. Promising. C. Surprising. D. Exciting. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. A New Way to Decode Speech B. The Application of MEG Technology C. A New Study on Artificial Intelligence D. A Solution to Communication Problems 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With climate change continuing to worsen, our situation is beginning to feel increasingly serious. ____36____ Is it right? Maybe not. Techno-optimism is one of the greatest misconceptions when it comes to solutions to ensure our future. It can be defined as a belief that future technologies will solve all of our current problems. This definition reinforces (强化) the idea that there’s no reason to panic or change our current energy-intensive lifestyle. All society needs to do is look to green technology to work its magic. ____37____ One of the best examples of this optimistic misconception is the electric car. Despite being highly regarded as an eco-friendly way to get around, electric cars are not the end for the future of transport. Batteries in electric cars use chemical elements which we could be seeing a shortage of by the midcentury. ____38____ Techno-optimism has led many to believe that if everyone just switched to driving electric vehicles, we would be making incredible steps towards sustainability. However, the reality is that the amount of resources and energy needed to produce enough electric vehicles for everyone is not even remotely sustainable. ____39____ Investing in public transportation and moving away from individually owned vehicles. Producing fewer cars. Improving recycling practices of old batteries. The solutions we seek should not be rooted in new technology, but be about changing the way our society functions. Techno-optimism puts too much emphasis on technology and not enough on what we can do right this minute. Unfortunately, people seem to like the picture that techno-optimism paints. ____40____ It is important to understand that the problem begins when we see those technologies as a way to make our current lifestyles eco-friendly. Until we are ready to face the need for a less complex life, we cannot make true progress towards sustainability. A. So where should we look for answers instead? B. The modern world’s simple solution is technology. C. Moreover, they are more energy intensive to produce. D. Is it a trap that many people have fallen into in recent years? E. Unfortunately, this is an incredibly dangerous opinion to hold. F. Despite any technology, we as a whole are not living sustainably. G. Nevertheless, the truth is, we need a widespread change in our lifestyles. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完型填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I log onto a computer at the doctor’s office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room.

Niesha could not forget the way she had frozen in front of the class. Mr. Roberts had divided the class into groups to do presentations. Today had been Niesha’s turn. However, her hands had shaken so badly that she couldn’t read her notes. Her voice had become softer to the point of silence. Mr. Roberts had kindly ended Niesha’s part of the presentation, even though she had clearly not finished. He had also asked Niesha to stay after class for a moment. “Niesha, I know you’re shy, but you worked hard on this project. I’d hate to see you give up on yourself.” Then Mr. Roberts hesitated, before saying, “If I give you another chance until tomorrow, do you think you can find your courage?” Niesha nodded, grateful for the chance. She went as quickly as she could to her next class. She kept her head down and hoped the school day would end soon. When she reached the back steps that afternoon, she could see an inviting light coming from the kitchen windows. Mom was baking. Mom studied Niesha’s face as she came into the kitchen. “What’s wrong, Niesha?” Tears shone in Niesha’s brown eyes. She told her the whole story. Mom was silent for a moment, her hands still busy with the cake. “Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything, but you can’t talk to your class?” Mom asked. She set the timer (计时器) and then said, “Let me show you something.” Niesha followed Mom to her bedroom. There Mom showed her a book filled with newspaper clippings and pictures. In it there was a blue ribbon (丝带) that said “First Place” and a picture of herself when she was very young, standing with her parents. “I won it for public speaking (演讲). When I started on the speech team I was quiet as a mouse, but I ended the year as the winner. It wasn’t easy at first — I wasn’t sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.” 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。 Hearing Mom’s words, Niesha gazed at the precious blue ribbon, lost in thought. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day Niesha again walked to the front of the classroom to give her presentation. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
