Before my children were born;I had already decided that I would teach them Mandarin.I felt that they ought to be able to speak the language of their heritage Parenting books advised describing your actions while playing with your children,so I started digging out the long-buried words during every activity:“ball',“eat',“sleep”,“play'.However,.as this exercise continued,the gaps in my Mandarin became more and more obvious.Luckily,the ready availability of Chinese language media-from books to television shows to music-made things much easier.As they 3/10 grew older,I took them to the local library where the talc of the Monkey King and the legend of Chang'e immediately caught their imagination. When I see my son converse with his grandfather in Mandarin or when my daughter insists on fish for Lunar New Year,the time spent reading all those books closely feels well-spent. Last fall,my youngest son recited Li Bai's"Quiet Night Thoughts"for the Moon Festival performance at his preschool.His voice rang out with confidence and his arms swept up to indicate the moon above. Joy and wonder lit up my father's face as he listened to the familiar verses from the mouth of his grandson. Decades ago,my Chinese teacher explained to me how the moon connects all those who seek its light,no matter how far apart they are.So,too,does language.It influences culture and history,and connects future generations to past ones. 24.What do we know about the author as a child? A.She travelled between two countries when young B.She was brought up in an all-English environment C.She once lost her sense of belonging to Chinese culture. D.She was attracted to Chinese traditional Festivals the most. 25.How did the author teach her children Mandarin? A.Talking abcut her daily routine. B.Sending them to a Chinese teacher C.Buying them ancicnt Chinese storybooks. D.Taking advantage of Chinese language media. 26.Which of the following can best describe the author? A.Ambitious. B.Devoted. C.Proud. D.Optiristic. 27.What lesson can be learnt from this article? A.All roads lead to Rome. B.Every cloud has a silver lining. C.Great minds think alikc. D.Language bridges generations. C Human well-being depends on the ability to navigate the social world.Such social skill depends on reliable feedback:acts of kindness may be met with gratitude;on other occasions,a misstep brings about a friend's disapproval and recognition that an apology is needed.These moments are crucial for deepening trust and personal growth.Social life is rarely frictionless,because people are not perfectly in tune with one another.Yet it is precisely through such social friction that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops. Sycophancy (is the opposite of this friction.Many users experience this when AI enthusiastically agrees with their ideas or writing.In academic contexts,the consequence may be investing more time in an average idea.But as AI systems are increasingly consulted for guidance about relationships and conflicts,affirmation of this kind may shape how people interpret their own actions and their perspectives of others,and in turn,how they respond to conflict and whether they take responsibility when things go wrong. Now imagine a world where people routinely consult a sycophantic Al about interpersonal conflicts or moral dilemmas.They are repeatedly assured that they are right,that others are wrong,and that no apology is needed.Over time,this patterned sycophancy may reshape expectations about what feedback should feel like.Individuals may begin to anticipate the same constant affirmation from real human beings. The cumulative effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social friction through which accountability, 4/10 perspective-taking,and growih occur. An AI companion that is always"on your side"may keep users engaged and dependent.But it cannot tcach them how to handlc real relationships-how to disagree respectfully,repair damaged trust,or accept being wrong.Although AI could be improved to promote long-term personal development,such goals conflict with systems built to maximize user engagement.Challenging users or presenting uncomfortable truths is a surc way to drive them away.This tension raises fundamcntal ethical questions:Should we prioritize immediate cmotional comfort or long-term social health?Who gets to decide?Addressing these challenges will require interdisciplinary collaboration among computer scientists,social scientists,ethicists, and policy makers. 28.Which of the following is NOT a consequence of sycophantic AI? A.Misguided judgment about one's actions. B.Reduced tolerance for interpersonal friction. C.Weakened willingness to takc responsibility. D.Increased ability to resolve real-life conflicts. 29.What prevents AI systems from being improved to challenge users? A.Lack of technical capacity. B.Conflicts with commercial interests. C.Unawareness of its potential harm. D.Absence of interdisciplinary collaboration. 30.What is the author's attitude toward current Al systems? A.Strictly neutral.B.Strongly opposed. C.Cautiously concerned. D.Mildly supportive. 31.What is the best title for the text? A.Al Sycophancy:A Hidden Risk to People's Social Growth B.Social Friction:The Key to Healthy Human Relationships C.Ethical Dilemmas Faced by Modern Al Technology D.Can AI Companions Help Solve Interpersonal Conflicts? D Since Francis Galton coined the phrase“nature vs nurture(环境因素)”l50 years ago,the debate about what makes us who we are has dominated the human sciences Today,however,a new scientific field is set to reshape the debate--not by declaring victory for one side or the other,nor even by calling atie,but rather by revealing they were never in opposition in the first place.Through this new perspective,nature and nurture are not even entirely distinguishable,because genes and environment don't operate in isolation;they influence each other and to a very real degree even create each other. The new field is called sociogenomics,an integration of behavioral science and genetics.Despite being a relatively new area of study,it has the potential to rewrite a great deal of what we think we know about who we are and how we got that way. Genes don't affect who we become just on their own,inside our bodies-they work,in part,by shaping the environments we look for or produce.At other times,the nature-nurture feedback circle may be more pernicious.It's no surprise that terrible setbacks-the loss of a job,the end of a marriage-can cause people to fall into depression.I was astonished to learn,however,that people with a high genetic tendency for depression are more likely to encouriter these setbacks,which in turn contribute to their depression.That's not to say that any of it is their fault,just that the way we're supported and the world we pilot are closely linked. Here is the part of this research that really blows me away.The research suggests that your partner's genes influence your likelihood of depression almost a third as much as your own genes do.It also shows 5/10 when a small number of students with a genetic tendency to smoke are present in a high school,smoking rates can rise rapidly across an entire grade-even among those students who didn't personally know those classmates. Genes alone aren't enough to dctcrmine these outcomes and neither is environment.Nature and nurture both shape each other,with nature influencing the way we experience nurture and nurture influcncing the way our naturc expresses itself.The more opportunities and information the environment provides-the more varied environments become-the greater the influence that genetic variation has in sorting us into different categories. Nature and nurture aren't separate forces-they're endlessly circling back on each other. 32.Prior to the emergence of sociogenomics,it was widely believed that. A.genes and environment functioned separately B.there was no clear line between nature and nurture C.environment shaped our perception of who we are D.nature mattered more than nurture for personal growth 33.The underlined word"pernicious"(paragraph 4)is closest in meaning to" A.disastrous B.generative C.pointless D.questionable 34.It can be inferred that the research shocked the writer by suggesting that A.our genes may change because of the people we live with B.nature determines our behaviour just as much as nurture does C.people with the same genes are more likely to interact with each other D.the genes of people around us can affect the environment we experience 35.Which of the following pictures correctly illustrates how nature and nurture make us who we are? A B 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。 The integration of AI into education is rapidly shifting from theoretical discussion to practical application.Once viewed with doubt,AI is now emerging as a powerful ally (in the classroom, particularly in the field of academic writing.As students face complex research and communication demands,and teachers deal with growing class sizes and grading loads,AI writing tools offer innovative solutions that support both sides of the educational process.36 These tools are transforming the learning landscape,providing personalized feedback,and facilitating efficient content generation.37A good AI writing tool can also help learners become more confident,clear-thinking and critical communicators.Meanwhile,it allows teachers to focus more on high- level teaching and individual guidance. 38 The large volume of writing assignments to grade can be stressful,often leading to burnout and a struggle to provide timely feedback.AI writing tools are stepping in to ease this burden. 6/10 They can perform grammar checks,detect academic dishonesty,and offer revision suggestions.By handling these basic tasks,AI frees up teachers to focus on guiding complex thinking and addressing individual learning nceds. For students,Al writing tools act as personalized learning partners that adapt to individual needs. 39They struggle with organizing ideas and expressing themselves clearly in writing.AI can generate starter idcas,provide instant grammar feedback,and help create logical outlines,building confidence and independence. However,the power of AI in education also brings notable risks.Over-reliance may weaken students' thinking skills,and unequal access to advanced tocls could widen the learning gap between students. 40 With clear guidelines and proper training,AI can become a powerful force for developing deeper thinking and more meaningful learning experiences. A.For many learners,writing can be a real challenge. B.Yet they can do far more than perform these practical tasks C.Thus,balancing Al support with human oversight is critical. D.They aim to assist,not replace,the work of teachers and students. E.This technology helps reduce the heavy marking load on teachers. F.However,teachers need proper training to use these tools effectively. G.It also encourages teachers to rethink how they design their assignments. 第三部分语言知识运用（共2节，满分30分) 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项。 Who,or what,do you trust? Every day,we 41 decisions to the internet:should we stay at that hotel,eat at this restaurant, ride with that driver?We have become so used to the large-scale insights afforded by technology.Many of us wouldn't even buy a toaster without first checking 42.Their accessibility and apparent authority mean that simply picking an appliance at random is almost 43-why wouldn't you ask Google first?And yet,when it comes to many more fundamental choices-like what we choose to study-we often trust our instincts.This,argues economist Seth Davidowitz,is where we are going wrong.44 following our instincts can lead us to act on hidden prejudices or to keep following dead-end paths. In his new book Don't Trust Your Gut:Using data instead of instinct to make better choices,Seth Davidowitz brings together "credible answers to important questions"as revealed by vast online data,so we can 45 them in order to be more successful and happier."While we often think we know how to 46 ourselves,the numbers,it turns out,47 ,"he writes.

Just when things began to improve,tragedy hit my family on a cold windy afternoon.While I was doing homework with my pet cat beside me and my mother tending the fireplace,thick smoke poured down from the ceiling,and the roof quickly caught fire.We fled immediately.Worried about photos and letters left by my late father,my mother rushed back into the burning house twice to save precious belongings.She was pulled out by firefighters safely,suffering only from slight smoke inhalation (A). After five hours of efforts,the fire was put out,but our house was totally destroyed.To my great sorrow,my beloved cat went missing.Devastated (by the heavy losses,I cried sadly.That night, we had to move to my grandparents'house,with nothing but the clothes on our bodies and blankets offered by firefighters. On the following Monday,I went to school in borrowed clothes and shoes.All my school supplies were burned up.Overwhelmed by embarrassment and grief,I felt totally insecure and withdrew from 9/10 everyone.Before long,the whole school learned about my terrible experience. 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。 读后续写作答 When I was sitting silently in my classroom,a group of classmates came up to me.
