Every year, my parents, my sister and I take a short holiday together. This time my parents brought an unexpected fifth member: an AI chatbot. My father, who has always been comfortable with technology, had introduced it to my mother two weeks earlier. She now called it “the polite man who knows everything”, although it had neither a body nor, as we soon discovered, perfect knowledge.
At breakfast on our first morning, Mum typed “Good morning” before asking for places to visit. I tried not to roll my eyes. My sister and I had planned a break from screens: paper newspapers, puzzle books and advice from people we knew. Our parents, however, asked the chatbot to map walks, explain old buildings and locate an ice-cream shop.
Watching them made me uneasy. As a writer, I worry about what such systems may do to work like mine. My parents, near the end of their careers, saw a helpful tool rather than a rival. The difference felt backwards: the younger people were putting devices away, while the older ones kept finding new uses for one.
Then the chatbot misspelled a historical name. Mum corrected it, but the system politely argued that both spellings appeared in print. She frowned. “It apologises beautifully when it is wrong,” she said, “but today it thinks it is right.” Still, a few minutes later she was using it again. Its directions and patient answers mattered more to her than one irritating exchange.
That evening, we debated whether to call the chatbot “he”. Dad asked it directly. It replied that “it” was more accurate because it had no body or personal identity, though users were free to choose. I laughed at the thought of our machine correcting our manners. More importantly, I realised I had treated my parents’ enthusiasm as evidence that they understood the technology less than I did. Perhaps they simply judged it by a different question: not what it might become, but whether it helped them now.
24. What did the author worry about while watching her parents?
A. The trip might leave Mum exhausted.
B. AI might threaten creative work like hers.
C. Her parents would take its accuracy for granted.
D. The chatbot might mislead both her parents.
25. Why did Mum continue using the chatbot after it insisted on its incorrect spelling?
A. She valued its practical help more than its occasional mistake.
B. She believed the chatbot’s knowledge was reliable on most topics.
C. She wanted to prove the chatbot was clever enough to argue.
D. She was willing to accept the idea that two spellings existed.
26. What did the author feel when the chatbot answered Dad’s question?
A. Composed and puzzled. B. Amused and reflective.
C. Worried and discouraged. D. Grateful and relieved.
27. What is the author’s main purpose in telling the story?
A. To warn readers about the hidden risks brought by AI chatbots.
B. To show how AI can serve as a handy guide during family trips.
C. To share a shift in her understanding of how people judge AI.
D. To describe a sharp conflict between different generations.
C
A “memory breakdown” is often said to be the major cognitive problem of our time. In a recent piece in The Chronicle Review, Daniel Mercer argued that “students can’t remember even simple facts without checking their phones”, and many schools have quietly lowered expectations for memorizing dates, formulas and vocabulary.
Yet complaints about weak memory are hardly new. In the late 19th century, British educator Henry Latham blamed that cheap printed books would destroy students’ power to remember, because they no longer needed to keep long passages in their heads. Over the decades, similar denunciations have returned each time a new tool has entered classrooms.
Mercer suggests that rather than a simple loss of ability, we may be seeing a shift in how people choose to use their memory. Many students now treat their phones as an “external brain”, much as earlier generations treated the family bookshelf. At the same time, the use of digital calendars, search engines and cloud storage continue to rise. This points to a change not in whether people can remember, but in what they believe is worth remembering. “Students can still memorize,” Mercer wrote. “They’re just deciding to memorize different things.”
This leads to a deeper question: What kind of memory do we truly need, and why? Psychologists often distinguish between recall — producing information with no help — and recognition, which is using clues to find what we once knew. In classic “change blindness” experiments, people fail to notice that a stranger they are speaking to has been secretly replaced by another person, because their attention is on the task, not the face. It shows that relying on external cues (提示) and context is not always a weakness; it may reflect a different way of managing limited mental resources.
Could today’s young people be developing useful memory strategies that we have not yet learned to value? What about their skill at searching huge databases in seconds, or at linking ideas across videos, chats and online documents? These new habits of remembering challenge us to reconsider — with the history of past “memory breakdown” in mind — how we might understand and support human memory in more flexible, forward-looking ways.
28. What does the underlined word “denunciations” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Origins. B. Reminders. C. Criticisms. D. Indicators.
29. What does the growing use of digital tools suggest according to Mercer?
A. People no longer need to train their memory.
B. People are changing the way they use their memory.
C. Schools are forcing students to rely on external devices.
D. Modern technology is destroying traditional learning tools.
30. Why does the author mention the “change blindness” experiments?
A. To display that people are easily fooled by visual tricks.
B. To prove that using outside cues can be a reasonable strategy.
C. To demonstrate that face recognition is more important than tasks.
D. To illustrate that most memories are formed without our awareness.
31. What will probably be discussed next?
A. Challenges facing the young generation.
B. More valuable lessons taught by history.
C. Ways to support memory in the digital age.
D. Effects of relying on external memory tools.
D
Why do some people keep making harmful choices, even when the outcomes are obvious? A new study by UNSW Sydney’s Dr Bressel found that for a small group, the issue isn’t lack of motivation or ability, but rather a subtle (微妙的) but persistent failure to connect their actions with its consequences.
The paper, published recently in Nature Communications Psychology, details an online learning game where participants were asked to click between two planets for rewards or to avoid punishment. Researchers observed three behavioural types: Sensitives (avoid bad choices), Unawares (adjust strategies after being told their errors) and Compulsives (still make wrong choices even after learning their mistakes). “Some people don’t learn from experience. Even when motivated to avoid harm, they fail to see their behaviour causes problems,” said Dr Bressel.
This study followed past research, which only focused on Australian psychology students, but had key differences: 267 participants from 24 countries (including over 50-year-olds), six-month follow-ups, and post-game surveys on their choices. The same behavioural profiles emerged across cultures and ages. In Australian studies, 35% were Sensitives, 41% Unawares, 23% Compulsives; in the new study, 26% Sensitives, 47% Unawares, 27% Compulsives. Dr Bressel linked more Compulsives to older participants, as cognitive (认知的) flexibility declines with age. Interestingly, when participants were invited back to play the same game six months later, most showed the same behavioural profile. “That was striking,” said Bressel. “These aren’t just random mistakes. They’re almost like personality types. This is not to say they’re fixed, just that they may require intervention to break.” Researchers confirmed Compulsives’ choices weren’t habits: participants could explain their wrong choices. This points to a deeper issue — a failure to integrate new knowledge to minimise bad outcomes.
Dr Bressel noted real life is more complex than the game, but the pattern of ignoring experience and information matches compulsory behaviours. The research has important implications for public health messaging. Many campaigns rely on providing information — about smoking, drinking or financial risks — with the assumption that people will act on it. But this study suggests that for some, information alone isn’t enough. “Standard information campaigns work for most — but not for everyone,” Dr Bressel said. “For compulsive individuals, we may need different intervention.”
32. What were participants expected to do in the online learning game?
A. Make choices. B. Win awards. C. Observe behaviour. D. Identify errors.
33. What is a striking finding of the new study?
A. Cognition declines with age. B. Unawares account for the largest.
C. Behavioural patterns are consistent. D. Mistakes influence personality types.
34. What does the author suggest for public health campaigns?
A. Increasing lecture frequency. B. Reviewing behavioural errors.
C. Developing tailored strategies. D. Enhancing information accuracy.
35. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Learning Risks, Behaving Safer. B. Knowing Better, Doing Worse.
C. Recognizing Habits, Acting Well. D. Understanding Rules, Breaking All.
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。
For decades, the call to “go green” in cities has often translated into planting more trees and creating parks. However, emerging research suggests that our well-intentioned efforts might sometimes be misplaced. ____36____ It challenges the simple belief that all planting is equally beneficial and pushes for a smarter, science-based approach.
One key insight is that not all trees are equal in an urban setting. While native trees are crucial for supporting local wildlife, some non-native species might actually be better suited to city conditions. ____37____ Owing to this, they can better bear pollution, compacted (压实的) soil, and the “heat island” effect, thus surviving longer and providing continuous benefits.
____38____ A study comparing two city squares — one with a few large trees and the other with many thick green bushes — found the latter was often regarded as less safe and welcoming by residents. This highlights that urban greening must balance ecological goals with human psychology and social space needs.
Water management is another critical factor often overlooked. Traditional grasslands and many plants for decoration require significant water supply. Therefore, a shift towards water-wise landscape designs, featuring drought-resistant plants and water easy-going surfaces, is gaining wide acceptance. ____39____
Furthermore, the location of green spaces matters greatly. Planting trees in a narrow street canyon (峡谷) might trap pollution at street level, worsening air quality for the local residents. ____40____ Ecologists and urban biologists now use the sustainable modelling to determine the species and placement to maximize air purification and cooling effects in cities.
Ultimately, creating truly sustainable cities with the “bio-design” requires integrating ecology, hydrology, and social needs into every greening decision.
A. They may have deeper roots or higher tolerance.
B. Urban greening often fails to account for people’s needs.
C. This is where the concept “bio-design” becomes essential.
D. It is necessary to plant more fast-growing trees among high-rises.
E. So the cost of maintaining these green spaces gets higher for water use.
F. These novel approaches really help conserve and recharge groundwater.
G. In contrast, planting a mix of trees and bushes in parks creates clean-air zones.

One evening, he took me to dinner. I acted as if everything was fine, but eventually I admitted how uncomfortable I felt, living under someone else’s ____49____. “This will change,” he said. Then he looked at me gently but _____50_____, “But you don’t have to pretend with me.” I _____51_____ a little, letting my guard down while not fully admitting defeat.
Later, things began to _____52_____. I found a job and moved out. To repay Karl, I emailed him. His _____53_____ was unexpected: “You owe me nothing. Just pay it forward!”
That day I made a promise to be kind and _____54_____ to anyone in need, just as he had been to me. It was his guidance that led me to make that promise and _____55_____ who I am today.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之成为一篇完整的短文。
Leo was not excited about spending his Saturday afternoons at the Oakwood Nursing Home. It was a requirement for his high school graduation, but to him, the place smelled like old medicine and boredom. He usually spent his shifts doing the bare minimum: passing out water cups and avoiding eye contact.
His least favorite resident was Mr. Henderson, a grumpy (暴躁的) 80-year-old man who always sat in a wheelchair in the far corner of the recreation room. Mr. Henderson never smiled, never joined the group activities, and frequently complained about the “noisy teenagers”. Leo made sure to keep his distance, annoyed by the constant complaints. Yet there was one thing Leo had noticed about the old man. Mr. Henderson always kept a small, worn-out songbook on his lap.
One stormy Saturday, the nursing home was hosting its monthly music hour. The residents were gathered in the hall, eagerly waiting for the local volunteer band to arrive. However, at 2:00 p.m., the activity coordinator (协调员), Sarah, rushed in looking panicked. “The band’s bus broke down on the way here,” she announced, her voice shaking slightly. “They can’t make it.”
A wave of disappointment swept through the room. Some residents sighed heavily; others lowered their heads. Sarah looked around helplessly, her eyes landing on an old, dusty piano in the corner of the room. “Does anyone know how to play?” she asked the room.
Leo froze. He had been playing the piano since he was six and was exceptionally good at it. But the thought of playing in front of a crowd terrified him. He looked at the floor, hoping nobody would notice him. But then, he glanced up at the residents. For the first time, Leo didn’t see a room full of annoying strangers. He saw disappointed people who had been looking forward to this small moment of joy. His eyes stopped at Mr. Henderson, noticing the usual anger had disappeared from his face. Instead, he was staring silently at the empty piano.
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。
At that moment, Leo made a decision.

M: Really? I think there are a lot of good options. What’s the problem?
W: They’ve canceled most of the drama series I like, and now it’s all talent shows and cooking competitions. They’re so repetitive.
M: Well, those shows get high ratings. People love watching others perform or cook.
W: But shouldn’t TV offer more meaningful content, like shows that teach people new skills or tell interesting stories?
M: TV is mainly for relaxation, right? If you want to learn something, you can watch online courses or read books.
W: I don’t agree. TV could be both entertaining and educational — there’s no need to choose one.

Every year, my parents, my sister and I take a short holiday together. This time my parents brought an unexpected fifth member: an AI chatbot. My father, who has always been comfortable with technology, had introduced it to my mother two weeks earlier. She now called it “the polite man who knows everything”, although it had neither a body nor, as we soon discovered, perfect knowledge.
At breakfast on our first morning, Mum typed “Good morning” before asking for places to visit. I tried not to roll my eyes. My sister and I had planned a break from screens: paper newspapers, puzzle books and advice from people we knew. Our parents, however, asked the chatbot to map walks, explain old buildings and locate an ice-cream shop.
Watching them made me uneasy. As a writer, I worry about what such systems may do to work like mine. My parents, near the end of their careers, saw a helpful tool rather than a rival. The difference felt backwards: the younger people were putting devices away, while the older ones kept finding new uses for one.
Then the chatbot misspelled a historical name. Mum corrected it, but the system politely argued that both spellings appeared in print. She frowned. “It apologises beautifully when it is wrong,” she said, “but today it thinks it is right.” Still, a few minutes later she was using it again. Its directions and patient answers mattered more to her than one irritating exchange.
That evening, we debated whether to call the chatbot “he”. Dad asked it directly. It replied that “it” was more accurate because it had no body or personal identity, though users were free to choose. I laughed at the thought of our machine correcting our manners. More importantly, I realised I had treated my parents’ enthusiasm as evidence that they understood the technology less than I did. Perhaps they simply judged it by a different question: not what it might become, but whether it helped them now.
24. What did the author worry about while watching her parents?
A. The trip might leave Mum exhausted.
B. AI might threaten creative work like hers.
C. Her parents would take its accuracy for granted.
D. The chatbot might mislead both her parents.
25. Why did Mum continue using the chatbot after it insisted on its incorrect spelling?
A. She valued its practical help more than its occasional mistake.
B. She believed the chatbot’s knowledge was reliable on most topics.
C. She wanted to prove the chatbot was clever enough to argue.
D. She was willing to accept the idea that two spellings existed.
26. What did the author feel when the chatbot answered Dad’s question?
A. Composed and puzzled. B. Amused and reflective.
C. Worried and discouraged. D. Grateful and relieved.
27. What is the author’s main purpose in telling the story?
A. To warn readers about the hidden risks brought by AI chatbots.
B. To show how AI can serve as a handy guide during family trips.
C. To share a shift in her understanding of how people judge AI.
D. To describe a sharp conflict between different generations.

C
A “memory breakdown” is often said to be the major cognitive problem of our time. In a recent piece in The Chronicle Review, Daniel Mercer argued that “students can’t remember even simple facts without checking their phones”, and many schools have quietly lowered expectations for memorizing dates, formulas and vocabulary.
Yet complaints about weak memory are hardly new. In the late 19th century, British educator Henry Latham blamed that cheap printed books would destroy students’ power to remember, because they no longer needed to keep long passages in their heads. Over the decades, similar denunciations have returned each time a new tool has entered classrooms.
Mercer suggests that rather than a simple loss of ability, we may be seeing a shift in how people choose to use their memory. Many students now treat their phones as an “external brain”, much as earlier generations treated the family bookshelf. At the same time, the use of digital calendars, search engines and cloud storage continue to rise. This points to a change not in whether people can remember, but in what they believe is worth remembering. “Students can still memorize,” Mercer wrote. “They’re just deciding to memorize different things.”
This leads to a deeper question: What kind of memory do we truly need, and why? Psychologists often distinguish between recall — producing information with no help — and recognition, which is using clues to find what we once knew. In classic “change blindness” experiments, people fail to notice that a stranger they are speaking to has been secretly replaced by another person, because their attention is on the task, not the face. It shows that relying on external cues (提示) and context is not always a weakness; it may reflect a different way of managing limited mental resources.
Could today’s young people be developing useful memory strategies that we have not yet learned to value? What about their skill at searching huge databases in seconds, or at linking ideas across videos, chats and online documents? These new habits of remembering challenge us to reconsider — with the history of past “memory breakdown” in mind — how we might understand and support human memory in more flexible, forward-looking ways.
28. What does the underlined word “denunciations” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Origins. B. Reminders. C. Criticisms. D. Indicators.
29. What does the growing use of digital tools suggest according to Mercer?
A. People no longer need to train their memory.
B. People are changing the way they use their memory.
C. Schools are forcing students to rely on external devices.
D. Modern technology is destroying traditional learning tools.
30. Why does the author mention the “change blindness” experiments?
A. To display that people are easily fooled by visual tricks.
B. To prove that using outside cues can be a reasonable strategy.
C. To demonstrate that face recognition is more important than tasks.
D. To illustrate that most memories are formed without our awareness.
31. What will probably be discussed next?
A. Challenges facing the young generation.
B. More valuable lessons taught by history.
C. Ways to support memory in the digital age.
D. Effects of relying on external memory tools.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】文章围绕“记忆衰退”这一话题展开讨论,指出对记忆力下降的抱怨由来已久,并引用Daniel Mercer的观点,认为人们并非丧失记忆能力,而是在选择记住什么方面发生了转变,最后呼吁以更灵活、前瞻性的方式理解和支持人类记忆。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“In the late 19th century, British educator Henry Latham blamed that cheap printed books would destroy students' power to remember, because they no longer needed to keep long passages in their heads. (19世纪末,英国教育家亨利·拉瑟姆指责廉价印刷书籍会摧毁学生的记忆力,因为他们不再需要将长篇段落记在脑海中。)”可知,此处blamed表示批评、指责,下文“similar denunciations have returned each time a new tool has entered classrooms(每当有新工具进入课堂时,类似的denunciations就会再次出现)”中similar说明denunciations与上文blamed含义相近。所以“denunciations”意思为“批评”与Criticisms同义。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Mercer suggests that rather than a simple loss of ability, we may be seeing a shift in how people choose to use their memory. (Mercer认为,与其说是简单的能力丧失,不如说我们正在目睹人们选择使用记忆的方式发生了转变。)”以及“Students can still memorize. They're just deciding to memorize different things. (学生仍然能够记忆。他们只是决定记住不同的东西。)”可知,Mercer认为数字工具的日益使用表明人们正在改变使用记忆的方式,而非丧失记忆能力。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In classic “change blindness” experiments, people fail to notice that a stranger they are speaking to has been secretly replaced by another person, because their attention is on the task, not the face. It shows that relying on external cues (提示) and context is not always a weakness; it may reflect a different way of managing limited mental resources. (在经典的 “变化盲视” 实验中,人们无法察觉正在交谈的陌生人已经被悄悄换成了另一个人,因为他们的注意力集中在任务上,而非对方的面孔。这表明依赖外部提示和语境并不总是一种弱点;它可能反映了一种管理有限心理资源的不同方式。)”可知,作者提及“变化盲视”实验是为了证明使用外部线索可以是一种合理的策略,而非弱点。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“These new habits of remembering challenge us to reconsider — with the history of past “memory breakdown” in mind — how we might understand and support human memory in more flexible, forward-looking ways. (这些新的记忆习惯促使我们重新思考——考虑到过去“记忆衰退”的历史——我们如何以更灵活、更具前瞻性的方式理解和支持人类记忆。)”可知,文章结尾提出了以灵活、前瞻性方式理解和支持记忆的方向,接下来最可能讨论的是在数字时代支持记忆的具体方式。
D
Why do some people keep making harmful choices, even when the outcomes are obvious? A new study by UNSW Sydney’s Dr Bressel found that for a small group, the issue isn’t lack of motivation or ability, but rather a subtle (微妙的) but persistent failure to connect their actions with its consequences.
The paper, published recently in Nature Communications Psychology, details an online learning game where participants were asked to click between two planets for rewards or to avoid punishment. Researchers observed three behavioural types: Sensitives (avoid bad choices), Unawares (adjust strategies after being told their errors) and Compulsives (still make wrong choices even after learning their mistakes). “Some people don’t learn from experience. Even when motivated to avoid harm, they fail to see their behaviour causes problems,” said Dr Bressel.
This study followed past research, which only focused on Australian psychology students, but had key differences: 267 participants from 24 countries (including over 50-year-olds), six-month follow-ups, and post-game surveys on their choices. The same behavioural profiles emerged across cultures and ages. In Australian studies, 35% were Sensitives, 41% Unawares, 23% Compulsives; in the new study, 26% Sensitives, 47% Unawares, 27% Compulsives. Dr Bressel linked more Compulsives to older participants, as cognitive (认知的) flexibility declines with age. Interestingly, when participants were invited back to play the same game six months later, most showed the same behavioural profile. “That was striking,” said Bressel. “These aren’t just random mistakes. They’re almost like personality types. This is not to say they’re fixed, just that they may require intervention to break.” Researchers confirmed Compulsives’ choices weren’t habits: participants could explain their wrong choices. This points to a deeper issue — a failure to integrate new knowledge to minimise bad outcomes.
Dr Bressel noted real life is more complex than the game, but the pattern of ignoring experience and information matches compulsory behaviours. The research has important implications for public health messaging. Many campaigns rely on providing information — about smoking, drinking or financial risks — with the assumption that people will act on it. But this study suggests that for some, information alone isn’t enough. “Standard information campaigns work for most — but not for everyone,” Dr Bressel said. “For compulsive individuals, we may need different intervention.”
32. What were participants expected to do in the online learning game?
A. Make choices. B. Win awards. C. Observe behaviour. D. Identify errors.
33. What is a striking finding of the new study?
A. Cognition declines with age. B. Unawares account for the largest.
C. Behavioural patterns are consistent. D. Mistakes influence personality types.
34. What does the author suggest for public health campaigns?
A. Increasing lecture frequency. B. Reviewing behavioural errors.
C. Developing tailored strategies. D. Enhancing information accuracy.
35. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Learning Risks, Behaving Safer. B. Knowing Better, Doing Worse.
C. Recognizing Habits, Acting Well. D. Understanding Rules, Breaking All.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了悉尼新南威尔士大学研究发现,部分人明知后果仍做有害选择,因无法将行为与后果关联,其行为模式跨文化年龄一致,公共卫生宣传需定制策略。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The paper, published recently in Nature Communications Psychology, details an online learning game where participants were asked to click between two planets for rewards or to avoid punishment.(这篇近期发表于《自然·通讯·心理学》的论文描述了一款在线学习游戏,该游戏要求参与者在两个星球之间点击以获取奖励,或者避免受到惩罚)”可知,参与者在这款在线学习游戏中被期望做出选择。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Interestingly, when participants were invited back to play the same game six months later, most showed the same behavioural profile. “That was striking,” said Bressel.(有趣的是,当参与者在六个月后再次被邀请参与同样的游戏时,大多数人的行为表现都与之前一致。“这令人印象深刻。”布雷塞尔说道)”可知,这项新研究的显著发现是行为模式保持一致。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““Standard information campaigns work for most — but not for everyone,” Dr Bressel said. “For compulsive individuals, we may need different intervention.”(布雷塞尔博士表示:“常规的信息宣传对大多数人有效,但并非对所有人都适用。对于那些有强迫性行为的人,我们可能需要采取不同的干预措施。”)”可知,作者建议公共卫生宣传不能一刀切,需为“强迫型”人群制定“量身定制的策略”。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Why do some people keep making harmful choices, even when the outcomes are obvious? A new study by UNSW Sydney’s Dr Bressel found that for a small group, the issue isn’t lack of motivation or ability, but rather a subtle (微妙的) but persistent failure to connect their actions with its consequences.(为什么有些人会不断做出有害的选择,即便结果已经一目了然?新南威尔士大学悉尼分校的布雷塞尔博士开展的一项研究发现,对于一小部分人而言,问题并不在于缺乏动力或能力,而是在于他们一直未能将自己的行为与其后果联系起来)”结合文章主要说明了悉尼新南威尔士大学研究发现,部分人明知后果仍做有害选择,因无法将行为与后果关联,其行为模式跨文化年龄一致,公共卫生宣传需定制策略。可知,B选项“明知道后果,却做出有害选择”最符合文章标题。故选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。
For decades, the call to “go green” in cities has often translated into planting more trees and creating parks. However, emerging research suggests that our well-intentioned efforts might sometimes be misplaced. ____36____ It challenges the simple belief that all planting is equally beneficial and pushes for a smarter, science-based approach.
One key insight is that not all trees are equal in an urban setting. While native trees are crucial for supporting local wildlife, some non-native species might actually be better suited to city conditions. ____37____ Owing to this, they can better bear pollution, compacted (压实的) soil, and the “heat island” effect, thus surviving longer and providing continuous benefits.
____38____ A study comparing two city squares — one with a few large trees and the other with many thick green bushes — found the latter was often regarded as less safe and welcoming by residents. This highlights that urban greening must balance ecological goals with human psychology and social space needs.
Water management is another critical factor often overlooked. Traditional grasslands and many plants for decoration require significant water supply. Therefore, a shift towards water-wise landscape designs, featuring drought-resistant plants and water easy-going surfaces, is gaining wide acceptance. ____39____
Furthermore, the location of green spaces matters greatly. Planting trees in a narrow street canyon (峡谷) might trap pollution at street level, worsening air quality for the local residents. ____40____ Ecologists and urban biologists now use the sustainable modelling to determine the species and placement to maximize air purification and cooling effects in cities.
Ultimately, creating truly sustainable cities with the “bio-design” requires integrating ecology, hydrology, and social needs into every greening decision.
A. They may have deeper roots or higher tolerance.
B. Urban greening often fails to account for people’s needs.
C. This is where the concept “bio-design” becomes essential.
D. It is necessary to plant more fast-growing trees among high-rises.
E. So the cost of maintaining these green spaces gets higher for water use.
F. These novel approaches really help conserve and recharge groundwater.
G. In contrast, planting a mix of trees and bushes in parks creates clean-air zones.
【答案】36. C 37. A 38. B 39. F 40. G
【解析】

【37题详解】
根据空前的“While native trees are crucial for supporting local wildlife, some non-native species might actually be better suited to city conditions.(虽然本土树木对支撑本地野生动物至关重要,但一些外来树种实际上更适应城市环境。)”以及空后的“Owing to this, they can better bear pollution, compacted (压实的) soil, and the “heat island” effect, thus surviving longer and providing continuous benefits. (正因如此,它们能更好承受污染、压实土壤以及热岛效应,存活更久并持续发挥作用。)”可知,前文指出部分外来树种更适合城市环境,后文说明它们耐受恶劣环境的结果,空格需要介绍这类树种自身优势。A选项“They may have deeper roots or higher tolerance(它们可能拥有更深的根系或更强的耐受能力)”中的They指代上文提到的non-native species,解释后文Owing to this的原因。
【38题详解】
根据空后的“A study comparing two city squares — one with a few large trees and the other with many thick green bushes — found the latter was often regarded as less safe and welcoming by residents. This highlights that urban greening must balance ecological goals with human psychology and social space needs.(一项对比两个城市广场的研究——一处有几棵大树,另一处有茂密灌木丛——发现居民通常认为后者安全性与舒适度更低。这表明城市绿化必须平衡生态目标与人的心理、社会空间需求。)”可知,本段用研究实例说明绿化需要考虑人的感受,空格为本段主题句,点明绿化忽略人的需求这一问题。B选项“Urban greening often fails to account for people’s needs(城市绿化常常忽略人们的需求)”总领本段,引出下文的研究例子。
【39题详解】
根据空前的“Therefore, a shift towards water-wise landscape designs, featuring drought-resistant plants and water easy-going surfaces, is gaining wide acceptance.(因此,转向节水型景观设计,选用耐旱植物和易于排水的表面材料,正被广泛认可。)”可知,前文提出节水景观设计方案,空格说明这类设计带来的水文方面好处。F选项“These novel approaches really help conserve and recharge groundwater(这些新方法有助于涵养和补充地下水)”中的These novel approaches指代前文节水景观设计,承接上文。
【40题详解】
根据空前的“Planting trees in a narrow street canyon (峡谷)might trap pollution at street level, worsening air quality for the local residents.(在狭窄街道峡谷种树可能将污染物困在路面,恶化当地居民空气质量。)”以及空后的“Ecologists and urban biologists now use the sustainable modelling to determine the species and placement to maximize air purification and cooling effects in cities.(生态学家与城市生物学家现在利用可持续模型确定树种与栽种位置,最大限度实现城市空气净化与降温效果。)”可知,前文介绍一种不利的植树选址,后文说明科学选址的做法,空格给出对比之下合理的绿化方案。G选项“In contrast, planting a mix of trees and bushes in parks creates clean-air zones(相比之下,在公园混合种植乔木与灌木可以打造洁净空气区)”中的In contrast与前文不良选址形成对比,逻辑通顺。

Every Social Media Hotspot: a Must-See or Not?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Every Social Media Hotspot: a Must-See or Not?
Nowadays, many people rush to every social media hotspot, driven by the fear of missing out. But must we do that?
Personally, I doubt the necessity. As the saying goes, “Quality over quantity.” This is especially true when we travel. Chasing every hotspot often leaves us exhausted, with little time and energy for real exploration. Worse still, if blindly following the crowd, we risk missing what truly suits us. After all, travel should be a personal experience, not just a checklist to tick off!
So why not slow down? By selecting a few places that truly appeal to us, we can turn a tiring trip into a truly meaningful adventure.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之成为一篇完整的短文。
Leo was not excited about spending his Saturday afternoons at the Oakwood Nursing Home. It was a requirement for his high school graduation, but to him, the place smelled like old medicine and boredom. He usually spent his shifts doing the bare minimum: passing out water cups and avoiding eye contact.
His least favorite resident was Mr. Henderson, a grumpy (暴躁的) 80-year-old man who always sat in a wheelchair in the far corner of the recreation room. Mr. Henderson never smiled, never joined the group activities, and frequently complained about the “noisy teenagers”. Leo made sure to keep his distance, annoyed by the constant complaints. Yet there was one thing Leo had noticed about the old man. Mr. Henderson always kept a small, worn-out songbook on his lap.
One stormy Saturday, the nursing home was hosting its monthly music hour. The residents were gathered in the hall, eagerly waiting for the local volunteer band to arrive. However, at 2:00 p.m., the activity coordinator (协调员), Sarah, rushed in looking panicked. “The band’s bus broke down on the way here,” she announced, her voice shaking slightly. “They can’t make it.”
A wave of disappointment swept through the room. Some residents sighed heavily; others lowered their heads. Sarah looked around helplessly, her eyes landing on an old, dusty piano in the corner of the room. “Does anyone know how to play?” she asked the room.
Leo froze. He had been playing the piano since he was six and was exceptionally good at it. But the thought of playing in front of a crowd terrified him. He looked at the floor, hoping nobody would notice him. But then, he glanced up at the residents. For the first time, Leo didn’t see a room full of annoying strangers. He saw disappointed people who had been looking forward to this small moment of joy. His eyes stopped at Mr. Henderson, noticing the usual anger had disappeared from his face. Instead, he was staring silently at the empty piano.
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。
At that moment, Leo made a decision.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To everyone’s surprise, a rough, shaky voice began to sing along to the music.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
At that moment, Leo made a decision. He took a deep breath and walked to the piano. His hands trembled slightly as he sat down, but when his fingers touched the keys, a familiar tune filled the room. He began to play a classic song. The residents were startled at first, but soon they were immersed in the beautiful music. Some closed their eyes, savoring the moment, while others nodded gently with the rhythm. Mr. Henderson also leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Leo, as if he was trying to recall something.
To everyone’s surprise, a rough, shaky voice began to sing along to the music. It was Mr. Henderson. He opened his mouth, and although his voice was not as clear as it used to be, it carried a deep emotion. He sang with all his heart. Other residents also joined in, and the room was filled with the harmonious sound of music and singing. Leo was deeply moved, and his fingers became more and more dexterous on the keys. At that moment, the storm outside seemed to fade away, and only the warmth and joy in the room remained.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物Leo的心理变化为线索,通过讲述原本抗拒去养老院做志愿、害怕当众弹琴的Leo,在乐队缺席的突发状况下鼓起勇气弹奏钢琴,带动暴躁的Mr. Henderson及其他老人跟唱,最终打破隔阂、收获温暖与感动的故事。
【详解】段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容可知,本段可以写Leo克服恐惧走向钢琴,弹奏出熟悉的旋律,老人们逐渐沉浸其中,Mr. Henderson也露出了久违的专注神情。
②由第二段首句内容可知,本段可以写Mr. Henderson开口跟唱,其他老人也加入合唱,Leo深受感动,房间内充满温暖与欢乐,升华主题。
2.续写线索:鼓起勇气——走向钢琴——弹奏旋律——老人沉浸——Mr. Henderson跟唱——众人合唱——温暖升华
3.词类激活:
行为类:
①弹奏:play/strum
②加入:join in/participate in
情绪类
①被吓了一跳:be startled/be taken aback
②被打动了的:be moved/be emotionally overwhelmed
【点睛】【高分句型1】 Some closed their eyes, savoring the moment, while others nodded gently with the rhythm..(使用了现在分词短语作状语)
【高分句型2】Mr. Henderson also leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Leo, as if he was trying to recall something.(使用了“名词+过去分词”独立主格结构)
