Woodpeckers (啄木鸟) hopped into my life in an unexpected place. As a young boy of eight or nine, I peered impatiently through the kitchen window into the backyard, waiting for the rain to stop so I might escape my tame suburban home to a wilder place where I could watch more than American Robins (知更鸟).
Suddenly, a bird caught my attention. As it bounced closer, the bright red mustache, and veins of orange on the tail and wings revealed it was a male woodpecker! With what seemed like an explosion of red feathers, he was gone. From that moment on, I read everything I could about woodpeckers. Instantly I became a woodpecker enthusiast.
Since that day, the call of the woodpecker has led me on many journeys from my backyard to distant continents and inspired me to rise before the sun so that their syncopated (切分节奏的) drumming might allow me to find them, follow them, and learn about their mysterious lives before they disappear back into the trees. My fascination has only grown over the years as I noticed that no matter where I was in North America, as long as there were large trees and surrounding natural landscape, there was at least one species of woodpecker to trigger my wonder at the richness around me and the woodpecker’s role in enhancing it.
My book Woodpecker contains an exploration of the lives of the forty-one species of woodpeckers in North America. In telling the stories of these woodpeckers, I focus my lens, narrative, and anecdotes on the species and behaviors that are most representative, while also highlighting interesting exceptions and contrasts. I hope that by sharing intimate images and stories from the more secreted moments of their life histories, I can motivate people to better appreciate their critical role in enhancing our natural world and perhaps inspire the long-term protection of these birds and the habitats that they rely upon.
4. What do we know about the author from paragraph 1?
A. He was bored of bird-watching. B. He hated leaving his suburban home.
C. He longed to see more varied wildlife. D. He loved American Robins very much.
5. The author’s fascination with woodpeckers began with ______.
A. his determination to make a change B. a single, unexpected childhood sighting
C. some research on their beautiful feathers D. books that introduced him to woodpeckers
6. Why has the author’s love for woodpeckers grown?
A. They lead him to many different places.
B. Their distinctive sounds have amazed him.
C. They enable him to uncover the world’s mysteries.
D. Their widespread presence helps him see nature’s richness.
7. What is the key strength of the author’s book?
A. It centers on rare woodpecker species.

Summer comes, and mosquitoes constantly buzz and bite, leaving red marks and ruining our sleep.
To fight them, DEET (避蚊胺) is assumed to be the gold standard for preventing mosquito bites. Most researchers agree that a key part of its effectiveness is unpleasantness — the bugs just hate to be around it. However, some mosquitoes seem capable of overcoming their revulsion, leading to the theory that the insects might be getting used to the chemical.
Claudio Lazzari at the University of Tours set out to investigate, by running a version of the experiments made famous by Ivan Pavlov in the late 1800s where dogs were conditioned to associate sounds with food. In those experiments, Pavlov routinely rang a signal bell and then immediately fed the dogs. Eventually, when he made the sounds but didn’t provide food, he found the animals still salivated (流口水), as they would before a meal.
In his experiments, Dr Lazzari presented hungry mosquitoes with warm sheep’s blood while being exposed to a gentle breeze of ordinary air or of air blown past a piece of paper soaked in DEET. After many similar repeated experiments, the researchers then bravely presented their own hands to the insects. One hand was covered in DEET while the other was left untreated. To their frustration they watched as 60% of the mosquitoes that had been presented with blood while being exposed to DEET bit the hand coated in DEET. In contrast, all mosquitoes trained with ordinary air avoided it entirely.
Dr Lazzari’s conditioning in the laboratory was important for the mosquitoes in developing their fondness for DEET. But the chances are good that a similar scene is taking place in the real world, where the effects of DEET typically weaken over time, especially when people are sweating or not applying enough of the stuff in the first place.
In such circumstances, hungry mosquitoes are most likely to be able to tolerate the faint smell of DEET, bite a lightly protected person, begin connecting the smell with food and become more dangerous to those they encounter later in their lives.
8. What does the underlined word “revulsion” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Dislike. B. Fondness. C. Desire. D. Curiosity.
9. Why was Pavlov’s experiment mentioned?
A. To prove DEET’s effect. B. To explain conditioning.
C. To honor early biologists. D. To analyze animal behavior.
10. What can we learn about the research from paragraph 4?
A. Sheep’s blood drove mosquitoes away. B. All mosquitoes weren’t thirsty for blood.
C. Ordinary air fueled mosquitoes’ appetite. D. Most mosquitoes were conditioned to DEET.
11. Why does DEET sometimes fail to keep mosquitoes away?
A. Sweat clears DEET completely. B. Mosquitoes associate it with food.
C. Its smell grows stronger over time. D. Human blood weakens the chemical.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文围绕驱蚊产品避蚊胺(DEET)展开,借助巴甫洛夫条件反射对照专项科研,揭示部分蚊子可产生适应性、耐受避蚊胺气味,将驱蚊胺气味和食物建立关联,最终削弱避蚊胺驱蚊效力的科学原理,解释现实场景里避蚊胺驱蚊效果下降的成因。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Most researchers agree that a key part of its effectiveness is unpleasantness — the bugs just hate to be around it. However, some mosquitoes seem capable of overcoming their revulsion, leading to the theory that the insects might be getting used to the chemical.(大多数研究人员都认为,其有效的关键在于它的令人不愉快——虫子只是讨厌待在它周围。然而,一些蚊子似乎能够克服它们的revulsion,这导致了昆虫可能正在逐渐习惯这种化学物质)”可知,蚊子原本讨厌避蚊胺,后来克服的是这种厌恶感,故revulsion意为“厌恶,反感”,与Dislike意思最接近。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Claudio Lazzari at the University of Tours set out to investigate, by running a version of the experiments made famous by Ivan Pavlov in the late 1800s where dogs were conditioned to associate sounds with food. (图尔大学的Claudio Lazzari着手进行研究,他进行了伊万·巴甫洛夫在19世纪末著名的实验的一个版本,在该实验中,狗被训练成将声音与食物联系起来)”以及第四段“After many similar repeated experiments, the researchers then bravely presented their own hands to the insects.(经过许多次类似的重复实验后,研究人员勇敢地将自己的手伸给这些昆虫)”可知,文章提到巴甫洛夫的实验是为了解释条件反射这一原理,并说明Lazzari是如何借鉴该原理来设计蚊子实验的。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“To their frustration they watched as 60% of the mosquitoes that had been presented with blood while being exposed to DEET bit the hand coated in DEET. In contrast, all mosquitoes trained with ordinary air avoided it entirely. (令他们沮丧的是,他们看到,在接触避蚊胺的同时被提供血液的蚊子中有60%叮咬了涂有避蚊胺的手。相比之下,所有用普通空气训练的蚊子都完全避开了它)”可知,经过反复将避蚊胺气味与血液(食物)配对后,大部分蚊子被训练得不再排斥避蚊胺,即大多数蚊子对避蚊胺形成了条件反射。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In such circumstances, hungry mosquitoes are most likely to be able to tolerate the faint smell of DEET, bite a lightly protected person, begin connecting the smell with food and become more dangerous to those they encounter later in their lives. (在这种情况下,饥饿的蚊子很可能能够忍受避蚊胺微弱的气味,叮咬防护薄弱的人,开始将这种气味与食物联系起来,并对它们以后遇到的其他人变得更加危险)”可知,避蚊胺失效的原因是蚊子将它的气味与食物建立了联系,从而克服了厌恶。

According to a new study, AI chatbots tend to agree with their users so much that they often give bad advice, encouraging harmful behaviors and damaging personal relationships. The study tested 11 leading AI systems and found they all showed varying degrees of sycophancy — behavior that was overly agreeable and supportive.
Lead researcher Myra Cheng explained that the team launched the study after noticing more and more people were using AI for relationship advice and sometimes being misled by how it tends to take their side, no matter what. Her team compared the responses of popular AI assistants with the shared wisdom of humans on an advice website. It turned out that AI backed users’ improper actions 49% more often than humans did.
The team also conducted experiments observing about 2,400 subjects, and they found those who shared their interpersonal dilemmas with an AI chatbot became more certain they were right and less willing to repair relationships. Co-author Cinoo Lee pointed out that it meant they weren’t apologizing or changing their behavior, and he added the findings were especially significant for teenagers developing social and emotional skills through real-life interactions.
Moreover, the harm doesn’t stop there — it is widespread. In medical care, researchers say sycophantic AI could lead doctors to confirm their first judgment rather than encourage them to explore further. In politics, it could strengthen more extreme positions by supporting people’s fixed opinions.
Addressing sycophancy, however, is challenging. Sycophancy is so deeply embedded (嵌入) that tech companies may need to retrain their AI systems, said Cheng. A simpler fix could be instructing chatbots to challenge users more — for example, by starting with “Wait a minute.” Lee also put forward the idea of a better AI: it could recognize users’ feelings and remind them to consider others’ emotions, or even encourage face-to-face communication instead of online chatting. That matters because the quality of social relationships is a key marker of health and well-being. Above all, we need AI that broadens people’s views rather than narrows them.
12. Why did Myra Cheng’s team start the study?
A. AI assistants were often misled.
B. Tech companies trained AI improperly.
C. Advice websites worked poorly.
D. People were blinded by AI’s sweet talk.
13. What harm may AI sycophancy bring about?
A. Block relationship repairs. B. Chang people’s fixed minds.
C. Weaken original judgments. D. Mislead public medical opinions.
14. What is a possible solution to AI sycophancy?
A. Recognize the limit of chatbots.
B. Program AI to widen users’ views.
C. Instruct chatbots to please users.
D. Replace AI with face-to-face chats.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Advice from AI needs a second thought.
B. People depend heavily on AI for advice.
C. Tech companies are improving AI systems.
D. AI chatbots are challenging users’ opinions.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍人工智能聊天机器人存在谄媚问题,会带来诸多危害,并介绍了解决该问题的相关办法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Lead researcher Myra Cheng explained that the team launched the study after noticing more and more people were using AI for relationship advice and sometimes being misled by how it tends to take their side, no matter what. (首席研究员迈拉・程解释说,该团队开展这项研究,是因为注意到越来越多人向人工智能寻求情感建议,且有时会被人工智能一味偏袒自己的话术误导。)”可知,团队开展研究是因为人们被人工智能的甜言蜜语蒙蔽、误导。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The team also conducted experiments observing about 2,400 subjects, and they found those who shared their interpersonal dilemmas with an AI chatbot became more certain they were right and less willing to repair relationships. (该团队还对约2400名研究对象开展实验,发现那些向人工智能聊天机器人倾诉人际困境的人会更加笃定自己没错,且更不愿意修复关系。)”可知,人工智能的谄媚特性会阻碍人们修复人际关系。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Above all, we need AI that broadens people’s views rather than narrows them. (最重要的是,我们需要能够拓宽人们视野而非局限人们眼界的人工智能。)”可知,解决人工智能谄媚问题的可行方案是编程优化人工智能,使其拓宽用户视野。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“According to a new study, AI chatbots tend to agree with their users so much that they often give bad advice, encouraging harmful behaviors and damaging personal relationships. (根据一项新研究,人工智能聊天机器人往往过度认同用户,以至于经常给出糟糕的建议,助长不良行为、破坏人际关系。)”以及后文介绍的AI谄媚的各类危害、改良方向可知,全文围绕AI给出的建议存在弊端展开,提醒人们需审慎看待AI建议。

【答案】One possible version:
Dear George,
I’m thrilled to hear that you’ve begun your six-month exchange program here in China. While you must be excited about your new life here, it’s only natural to feel a little overwhelmed by cultural differences.
If you ever feel awkward or confused because of cultural gaps, don’t hesitate to open up about your true feelings. This will help others understand you better and ease your discomfort. You may also consider exploring the city center with friends on weekends. Taste local food or strike up conversations with locals. Most of them are warm-hearted and willing to answer your questions.
I believe you will gradually get used to the new environment. If you ever need support, just write to me.
All the best,

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the busy city of New York, a man named Alex spent nearly 30 years searching for his long-lost childhood best friend, Sam. Growing up together in the same neighbourhood, they had shared countless memories and adventures. From exploring hidden corners of the neighbourhood park to sharing secrets under the night sky, their friendship was a storybook tale. But when Sam’s family suddenly moved away during their teenage years, that story was left unfinished. Despite the passage of time, Alex never forgot Sam and the bond they shared.
Over the years, Alex tried every possible means to locate Sam. He checked old phone books, contacted many friends, and even used social media, but all his efforts were in vain. It seemed as if Sam had disappeared into the air. Yet, the bond they once shared kept Alex’s hope alive.
One day, while looking through an old photo album, Alex came across a faded picture of Sam and himself, taken during a summer camp they had attended as kids. The photo captured (记录下) Sam’s wide smile and his signature gesture, running his hand through his brown thick curly (卷曲的) hair. Alex couldn’t help recalling their happy times—swimming in the lake, telling stories by the campfire and laughing together.
Feeling hopeful, He got in touch with the camp organisers, hoping they might have some clues. Luckily, the camp had maintained records of past attendees and they were able to provide Alex with a list of potential contacts. Weeks passed as Alex reached out to each name on the list. It wasn’t until he contacted the last name on the list that he finally got a breakthrough.
The person on the other end of the line was Sam’s cousin, who had kept in touch with Sam over the years. She was excited to hear from Alex and immediately gave Alex Sam’s number.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

With shaking hands, Alex picked up his cell phone.

When Alex approached the park entrance, a familiar figure came into view.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 With shaking hands, Alex picked up his cell phone. The heart racing, he had no idea what to expect. What if Sam didn’t remember him? Barely did he breathe until a voice—familiar yet different—answered, “Alex? Is that really you?” Both choked up. Words seemed inadequate to express the years of longing and the joy of reconnection. By the end of the call, there was only one thing left to do: meet in person. They agreed to meet at the old neighbourhood park. As Alex hung up, a smile spread across his face.
When Alex approached the park entrance, a familiar figure came into view. Sam, running his hand through his brown thick curly hair, greeted him with a bright smile and stepped forward, arms wide open. They hugged tightly, laughing heartily as if no time at all had separated them. The two spent the entire day exchanging stories of the past and the present. Alex was touched to learn that Sam, too, had tried to find him over the years. They were picking up the story right where they left off. No matter how much time had changed, true friendship would never end.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Alex在纽约寻找失联30年的童年好友Sam,两人曾共同度过无数美好时光,但Sam搬家后失去联系。多年来,Alex通过各种方式寻找Sam,却始终无果。直到有一天Alex在旧相册中发现一张照片,通过联系夏令营组织者,最终得到了Sam的联系方式。
【详解】1.段落续写:

②由第二段首句内容“当Alex走近公园入口时,一个熟悉的身影映入眼帘。”可知,第二段可描写Alex和Sam在旧社区公园见面的场景。

The Teen Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course arms teenagers with strategies to lend a hand to peers weighed down by mental troubles. When a friend or classmate is overwhelmed by emotional pain or stuck in a frightening mental health emergency, young learners will know how to provide initial support and accompany them through the hard time until professional assistance steps in or the tough situation eases off.

Upon completion of this course students will be able to:
● Recognise the signs and symptoms of mental health problems commonly experienced in young people
● Know when and how to seek the support of a trusted adult
● Use an evidence-based action plan to initiate a mental health first aid conversation

● Teen MHFA can only be delivered when a minimum of 10% of the supporting adults e.g., school staff, volunteers, etc. have completed Youth MHFA training. This helps to ensure trained Mental Health First Aiders are available to support students.
Duration & Format
The course is delivered by 3 face-to-face classroom sessions.
Course Fees

Woodpeckers (啄木鸟) hopped into my life in an unexpected place. As a young boy of eight or nine, I peered impatiently through the kitchen window into the backyard, waiting for the rain to stop so I might escape my tame suburban home to a wilder place where I could watch more than American Robins (知更鸟).
Suddenly, a bird caught my attention. As it bounced closer, the bright red mustache, and veins of orange on the tail and wings revealed it was a male woodpecker! With what seemed like an explosion of red feathers, he was gone. From that moment on, I read everything I could about woodpeckers. Instantly I became a woodpecker enthusiast.
Since that day, the call of the woodpecker has led me on many journeys from my backyard to distant continents and inspired me to rise before the sun so that their syncopated (切分节奏的) drumming might allow me to find them, follow them, and learn about their mysterious lives before they disappear back into the trees. My fascination has only grown over the years as I noticed that no matter where I was in North America, as long as there were large trees and surrounding natural landscape, there was at least one species of woodpecker to trigger my wonder at the richness around me and the woodpecker’s role in enhancing it.
My book Woodpecker contains an exploration of the lives of the forty-one species of woodpeckers in North America. In telling the stories of these woodpeckers, I focus my lens, narrative, and anecdotes on the species and behaviors that are most representative, while also highlighting interesting exceptions and contrasts. I hope that by sharing intimate images and stories from the more secreted moments of their life histories, I can motivate people to better appreciate their critical role in enhancing our natural world and perhaps inspire the long-term protection of these birds and the habitats that they rely upon.
4. What do we know about the author from paragraph 1?
A. He was bored of bird-watching. B. He hated leaving his suburban home.
C. He longed to see more varied wildlife. D. He loved American Robins very much.
5. The author’s fascination with woodpeckers began with ______.
A. his determination to make a change B. a single, unexpected childhood sighting
C. some research on their beautiful feathers D. books that introduced him to woodpeckers
6. Why has the author’s love for woodpeckers grown?
A. They lead him to many different places.
B. Their distinctive sounds have amazed him.
C. They enable him to uncover the world’s mysteries.
D. Their widespread presence helps him see nature’s richness.
7. What is the key strength of the author’s book?
A. It centers on rare woodpecker species.
B. It covers all woodpecker species in detail.
C. It reveals the threats to woodpeckers’ survival.
D. It features typical species and interesting exceptions.
C
Summer comes, and mosquitoes constantly buzz and bite, leaving red marks and ruining our sleep.
To fight them, DEET (避蚊胺) is assumed to be the gold standard for preventing mosquito bites. Most researchers agree that a key part of its effectiveness is unpleasantness — the bugs just hate to be around it. However, some mosquitoes seem capable of overcoming their revulsion, leading to the theory that the insects might be getting used to the chemical.
Claudio Lazzari at the University of Tours set out to investigate, by running a version of the experiments made famous by Ivan Pavlov in the late 1800s where dogs were conditioned to associate sounds with food. In those experiments, Pavlov routinely rang a signal bell and then immediately fed the dogs. Eventually, when he made the sounds but didn’t provide food, he found the animals still salivated (流口水), as they would before a meal.
In his experiments, Dr Lazzari presented hungry mosquitoes with warm sheep’s blood while being exposed to a gentle breeze of ordinary air or of air blown past a piece of paper soaked in DEET. After many similar repeated experiments, the researchers then bravely presented their own hands to the insects. One hand was covered in DEET while the other was left untreated. To their frustration they watched as 60% of the mosquitoes that had been presented with blood while being exposed to DEET bit the hand coated in DEET. In contrast, all mosquitoes trained with ordinary air avoided it entirely.
Dr Lazzari’s conditioning in the laboratory was important for the mosquitoes in developing their fondness for DEET. But the chances are good that a similar scene is taking place in the real world, where the effects of DEET typically weaken over time, especially when people are sweating or not applying enough of the stuff in the first place.
In such circumstances, hungry mosquitoes are most likely to be able to tolerate the faint smell of DEET, bite a lightly protected person, begin connecting the smell with food and become more dangerous to those they encounter later in their lives.
8. What does the underlined word “revulsion” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Dislike. B. Fondness. C. Desire. D. Curiosity.
9. Why was Pavlov’s experiment mentioned?
A. To prove DEET’s effect. B. To explain conditioning.
C. To honor early biologists. D. To analyze animal behavior.
10. What can we learn about the research from paragraph 4?
A. Sheep’s blood drove mosquitoes away. B. All mosquitoes weren’t thirsty for blood.
C. Ordinary air fueled mosquitoes’ appetite. D. Most mosquitoes were conditioned to DEET.
11. Why does DEET sometimes fail to keep mosquitoes away?
A. Sweat clears DEET completely. B. Mosquitoes associate it with food.
C. Its smell grows stronger over time. D. Human blood weakens the chemical.
D
According to a new study, AI chatbots tend to agree with their users so much that they often give bad advice, encouraging harmful behaviors and damaging personal relationships. The study tested 11 leading AI systems and found they all showed varying degrees of sycophancy — behavior that was overly agreeable and supportive.
Lead researcher Myra Cheng explained that the team launched the study after noticing more and more people were using AI for relationship advice and sometimes being misled by how it tends to take their side, no matter what. Her team compared the responses of popular AI assistants with the shared wisdom of humans on an advice website. It turned out that AI backed users’ improper actions 49% more often than humans did.
The team also conducted experiments observing about 2,400 subjects, and they found those who shared their interpersonal dilemmas with an AI chatbot became more certain they were right and less willing to repair relationships. Co-author Cinoo Lee pointed out that it meant they weren’t apologizing or changing their behavior, and he added the findings were especially significant for teenagers developing social and emotional skills through real-life interactions.
Moreover, the harm doesn’t stop there — it is widespread. In medical care, researchers say sycophantic AI could lead doctors to confirm their first judgment rather than encourage them to explore further. In politics, it could strengthen more extreme positions by supporting people’s fixed opinions.
Addressing sycophancy, however, is challenging. Sycophancy is so deeply embedded (嵌入) that tech companies may need to retrain their AI systems, said Cheng. A simpler fix could be instructing chatbots to challenge users more — for example, by starting with “Wait a minute.” Lee also put forward the idea of a better AI: it could recognize users’ feelings and remind them to consider others’ emotions, or even encourage face-to-face communication instead of online chatting. That matters because the quality of social relationships is a key marker of health and well-being. Above all, we need AI that broadens people’s views rather than narrows them.
12. Why did Myra Cheng’s team start the study?
A. AI assistants were often misled.
B. Tech companies trained AI improperly.
C. Advice websites worked poorly.
D. People were blinded by AI’s sweet talk.
13. What harm may AI sycophancy bring about?

In the busy city of New York, a man named Alex spent nearly 30 years searching for his long-lost childhood best friend, Sam. Growing up together in the same neighbourhood, they had shared countless memories and adventures. From exploring hidden corners of the neighbourhood park to sharing secrets under the night sky, their friendship was a storybook tale. But when Sam’s family suddenly moved away during their teenage years, that story was left unfinished. Despite the passage of time, Alex never forgot Sam and the bond they shared.
Over the years, Alex tried every possible means to locate Sam. He checked old phone books, contacted many friends, and even used social media, but all his efforts were in vain. It seemed as if Sam had disappeared into the air. Yet, the bond they once shared kept Alex’s hope alive.
One day, while looking through an old photo album, Alex came across a faded picture of Sam and himself, taken during a summer camp they had attended as kids. The photo captured (记录下) Sam’s wide smile and his signature gesture, running his hand through his brown thick curly (卷曲的) hair. Alex couldn’t help recalling their happy times—swimming in the lake, telling stories by the campfire and laughing together.
Feeling hopeful, He got in touch with the camp organisers, hoping they might have some clues. Luckily, the camp had maintained records of past attendees and they were able to provide Alex with a list of potential contacts. Weeks passed as Alex reached out to each name on the list. It wasn’t until he contacted the last name on the list that he finally got a breakthrough.
The person on the other end of the line was Sam’s cousin, who had kept in touch with Sam over the years. She was excited to hear from Alex and immediately gave Alex Sam’s number.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
