In the late 1980s, Stephanie Garber was driving through downtown Silver Spring, MD, when a large pickup truck hit her car. She wasn’t injured, but the other driver was annoyed, claiming the accident was Garber’s fault. And her car was completely destroyed.
Garber stood on the sidewalk, waiting for rescue to arrive. As she watched her car blocking traffic in the middle of the morning rush hour, Garber couldn’t help crying. “I was standing there. I was anxious and nervous. And I felt guilty about keeping the traffic stopped,” Garber said. “So, I really was not myself.” All of a sudden, a professionally dressed woman approached her. The woman appeared to be on her way to work and she was holding a cup of hot tea from the nearby coffee shop.
Garber recalled, “She handed it to me and said, ‘Maybe this will help.’ And when I looked at her, I just felt such kindness coming my way at a time when I needed it.” They smiled at each other and Garber thought she told the woman thank you, though she’s not sure. Then the woman went on her way. Garber recalled drinking the entire cup of tea. “Actually, I’ve never liked tea at all,” she said. “But I drank every drop and I felt her sympathy coming through with each swallow.”
The next morning, during rush hour, Garber drove a rental car back to the same spot downtown, hoping to find the woman and thank her again. But the woman wasn’t there. Garber held on to the small tag (标签) from the tea bag for about 15 years as a way to remember the woman’s act of generosity.
“I still remember it. I tell all my friends I never forget the kindness,” Garber said. “And this might have seemed like a very small kindness, but it meant a lot.”
4. What was the result of the accident for Garber?
A. She caused traffic jams on purpose.
B. She paid for the other driver’s loss.
C. She escaped unhurt but lost her car.
D. She was fined by the police officer.
5. Why did Garber cry after the accident?
A. She felt upset and ashamed.
B. Passers-by treated her rudely.
C. The rescue didn’t arrive in time.
D. She got badly frightened.
6. Why did Garber keep the tea bag tag for 15 years?
A. To remind herself to drink more tea.
B. To treasure an unexpected kindness.
C. To prove the power of small kindnesses.
D. To look for the woman and return it to her.
7. What message does the text mainly want to convey?
A. Accidents always bring pain.
B. Drinking tea can ease anxiety.
C. Tiny acts of care go a long way.
D. People in trouble desire material help.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming a part of our everyday lives, and this includes our classrooms. As AI tools enter schools, they bring both exciting chances to improve learning and real challenges that need careful handling. Finding the right balance is important for using AI in education responsibly.
AI offers many benefits in the classroom. A key advantage is personalized learning. AI systems can study how fast and in what way a student learns, then adjust the teaching materials to fit that student’s needs. This lets students learn at their own speed. AI can also make schoolwork more efficient. It can handle routine jobs like grading multiple-choice tests or organizing schedules, which saves teachers time. This way, teachers can spend more energy on designing interesting lessons and working directly with students. Moreover, AI helps students with disabilities by providing tools like instant speech-to-text and language translation, making learning easier and fairer for all.
However, using AI in schools also has its downsides. One major worry is data privacy. AI needs a lot of student information to work well, so we must ask: How is this private data gathered, kept safe, and protected from being misused? Another problem is the risk of AI bias (偏见). If the data used to train an AI system is unfair or limited, the AI might support existing stereotypes and treat students unequally. Lastly, there is the risk of relying too much on technology. If students always use AI to get answers, it could hinder their ability to think for themselves and solve problems — skills that are vital for their future.
In summary, AI could greatly improve education, but it is not a perfect cure for all problems. The best way forward is to treat AI as a useful tool that assists teachers, rather than replaces them. The human connection between teachers and students remains priceless. For AI to succeed in education, we need smart planning and a firm commitment to being fair, protecting privacy, and ensuring justice for every student.
8. What is one advantage of using AI in schools?
A. It makes students learn at the same speed.
B. It offers teachers training resources for teaching.
C. It improves teachers’ efficiency in daily work.
D. It ensures better academic performance for students.
9. What does the underlined word “hinder” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Prove. B. Measure. C. Increase. D. Block.
10. What does the author suggest schools do with AI?
A. Avoid it until all risks are fully removed.
B. Apply it in a careful and morally right way.
C. Focus on its benefits for disabled students.
D. Use it wisely to replace traditional teaching ways.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Potential and Risks of AI in Schools
B. The Perfect Solution AI Brings to Education
C. The Widespread Application of AI in Schools
D. The Role of AI in Shaping the Future of Education
D
When we’re trying to decide which cell phone case to buy or which hotel room to book, we often rely on the ratings and reviews of others to help us choose. But research suggests that we tend to use this information in ways that can actually work to our disadvantage.
“It’s extremely common for websites and apps to display the average score of a product along with the number of reviews. Our research suggests that, in some cases, people might take this information and make bad decisions with it,” says researcher Derek Powell of Stanford University, the lead author on the study.
“We found that people were biased (有偏见的) toward choosing to buy more popular products and that this sometimes led them to make very poor decisions,” he explains.
As opportunities to buy products online increase, we can easily get first-hand information about users’ experiences.
“We wanted to examine how people use this wealth of information when they make decisions, and specifically how they weigh information about other people’s decisions,” says Powell.
Looking at actual products available on Amazon.com, Powell and his colleagues found no relationship between the number of reviews a product had and its average rating. In other words, real-world data show that a large number of reviews are not a reliable indicator of a product’s quality.
In one online experiment, 132 adult participants looked at a series of phone cases presented in pairs. The participants saw an average user rating and total number of reviews for each phone case and expressed which case in each pair they would buy.
Across various combinations of average rating and the number of reviews, participants usually chose the option with more reviews. This bias was so strong that they often preferred the more-reviewed phone case even when both of the options had low ratings, effectively choosing the product that was, in statistical (统计学的) terms, more likely to be low quality.
12. What does Powell’s research show about people’s use of ratings and reviews while choosing products?
A. It is always helpful for making smart decisions.
B. It leads to the bias that can result in poor decision-making.
C. It enables people to make informed decisions.
D. It allows users to choose fine quality products out of poor ones.
13. What is the focus of the research by Powell and his colleagues?
A. How wealth influences consumers’ choice of products.
B. How past experiences influence consumers’ choice of products.
C. How product quality influences consumers’ choice of products.
D. How information online influences consumers’ choice of products.
14. What do the participants’ choices in the experiment show?
A. They show a preference for higher-priced goods.
B. They balance quality and quantity of reviews well.
C. They show a strong bias toward less-reviewed options.
D. They often choose more-reviewed products even with low ratings.
15. What does the author think of using reviews and ratings for buying products?
A. It is a reasonable method. B. It is possibly misleading.
C. It is a future mainstream trend. D. It is biased against quality products.

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。
It was cool and bright and just right for running. I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race through some hills. Birds were singing on the trees. The soft wind was brushing my cheeks. I felt rested and springy. Despite the hills, I thought it was going to be a fine run.
Ahead was Blake, a student from Burke High School. He was running easily, too, moving along efficiently. The pace felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where he was; why bother concentrating on pace when Blake was such a nice pacesetter for me? I would overtake Blake later on when he used up energy.
So I ran closely behind him. The course headed north for five miles, wandered west for a mile, and then turned south again. The race was getting tougher. With three miles to go, it was beginning to be real hard work. My lungs were on fire, and legs felt like stone.
Blake overtook the boy in front of him. Apparently he knew the boy, for they exchanged a few words. Their brief communication worried me. Runners don’t chat during a race unless they feel really good, and Blake plainly was. There was still a noticeable bounce in his steps, but the springiness I had once possessed was gone.
Still, I was close enough to overtake Blake if he was tired, so I didn’t give up hope completely. We were approaching a hill, a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost certainly determine who crossed it first.
As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Blake was moving away, first five yards, then ten, then more. There was no hope of catching Blake.
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。
Suddenly Blake slowed and sat onto the ground painfully.

In the late 1980s, Stephanie Garber was driving through downtown Silver Spring, MD, when a large pickup truck hit her car. She wasn’t injured, but the other driver was annoyed, claiming the accident was Garber’s fault. And her car was completely destroyed.
Garber stood on the sidewalk, waiting for rescue to arrive. As she watched her car blocking traffic in the middle of the morning rush hour, Garber couldn’t help crying. “I was standing there. I was anxious and nervous. And I felt guilty about keeping the traffic stopped,” Garber said. “So, I really was not myself.” All of a sudden, a professionally dressed woman approached her. The woman appeared to be on her way to work and she was holding a cup of hot tea from the nearby coffee shop.
Garber recalled, “She handed it to me and said, ‘Maybe this will help.’ And when I looked at her, I just felt such kindness coming my way at a time when I needed it.” They smiled at each other and Garber thought she told the woman thank you, though she’s not sure. Then the woman went on her way. Garber recalled drinking the entire cup of tea. “Actually, I’ve never liked tea at all,” she said. “But I drank every drop and I felt her sympathy coming through with each swallow.”
The next morning, during rush hour, Garber drove a rental car back to the same spot downtown, hoping to find the woman and thank her again. But the woman wasn’t there. Garber held on to the small tag (标签) from the tea bag for about 15 years as a way to remember the woman’s act of generosity.
“I still remember it. I tell all my friends I never forget the kindness,” Garber said. “And this might have seemed like a very small kindness, but it meant a lot.”

C. She escaped unhurt but lost her car.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming a part of our everyday lives, and this includes our classrooms. As AI tools enter schools, they bring both exciting chances to improve learning and real challenges that need careful handling. Finding the right balance is important for using AI in education responsibly.
AI offers many benefits in the classroom. A key advantage is personalized learning. AI systems can study how fast and in what way a student learns, then adjust the teaching materials to fit that student’s needs. This lets students learn at their own speed. AI can also make schoolwork more efficient. It can handle routine jobs like grading multiple-choice tests or organizing schedules, which saves teachers time. This way, teachers can spend more energy on designing interesting lessons and working directly with students. Moreover, AI helps students with disabilities by providing tools like instant speech-to-text and language translation, making learning easier and fairer for all.
However, using AI in schools also has its downsides. One major worry is data privacy. AI needs a lot of student information to work well, so we must ask: How is this private data gathered, kept safe, and protected from being misused? Another problem is the risk of AI bias (偏见). If the data used to train an AI system is unfair or limited, the AI might support existing stereotypes and treat students unequally. Lastly, there is the risk of relying too much on technology. If students always use AI to get answers, it could hinder their ability to think for themselves and solve problems — skills that are vital for their future.
In summary, AI could greatly improve education, but it is not a perfect cure for all problems. The best way forward is to treat AI as a useful tool that assists teachers, rather than replaces them. The human connection between teachers and students remains priceless. For AI to succeed in education, we need smart planning and a firm commitment to being fair, protecting privacy, and ensuring justice for every student.
8. What is one advantage of using AI in schools?
A. It makes students learn at the same speed.
B. It offers teachers training resources for teaching.
C. It improves teachers’ efficiency in daily work.
D. It ensures better academic performance for students.
9. What does the underlined word “hinder” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Prove. B. Measure. C. Increase. D. Block.
10. What does the author suggest schools do with AI?
A. Avoid it until all risks are fully removed.
B. Apply it in a careful and morally right way.
C. Focus on its benefits for disabled students.
D. Use it wisely to replace traditional teaching ways.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Potential and Risks of AI in Schools
B. The Perfect Solution AI Brings to Education
C. The Widespread Application of AI in Schools
D. The Role of AI in Shaping the Future of Education
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍的是人工智能(AI)进入学校后带来的机遇与挑战,并探讨了如何在教育中负责任地使用AI。

【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“If students always use AI to get answers, it could hinder their ability to think for themselves and solve problems — skills that are vital for their future. (如果学生总是借助人工智能获取答案,这可能会阻碍他们独立思考和解决问题的能力——这些能力对他们的未来至关重要。)”可知,hinder意为“阻碍”,与Block意思相近。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“For AI to succeed in education, we need smart planning and a firm commitment to being fair, protecting privacy, and ensuring justice for every student. (为了让AI在教育中取得成功,我们需要明智的规划,并坚定承诺做到公平、保护隐私、确保每位学生都得到公正对待。)”可知,作者建议学校应以谨慎且合乎道德的方式应用AI。

When we’re trying to decide which cell phone case to buy or which hotel room to book, we often rely on the ratings and reviews of others to help us choose. But research suggests that we tend to use this information in ways that can actually work to our disadvantage.
“It’s extremely common for websites and apps to display the average score of a product along with the number of reviews. Our research suggests that, in some cases, people might take this information and make bad decisions with it,” says researcher Derek Powell of Stanford University, the lead author on the study.
“We found that people were biased (有偏见的) toward choosing to buy more popular products and that this sometimes led them to make very poor decisions,” he explains.
As opportunities to buy products online increase, we can easily get first-hand information about users’ experiences.
“We wanted to examine how people use this wealth of information when they make decisions, and specifically how they weigh information about other people’s decisions,” says Powell.
Looking at actual products available on Amazon.com, Powell and his colleagues found no relationship between the number of reviews a product had and its average rating. In other words, real-world data show that a large number of reviews are not a reliable indicator of a product’s quality.
In one online experiment, 132 adult participants looked at a series of phone cases presented in pairs. The participants saw an average user rating and total number of reviews for each phone case and expressed which case in each pair they would buy.
Across various combinations of average rating and the number of reviews, participants usually chose the option with more reviews. This bias was so strong that they often preferred the more-reviewed phone case even when both of the options had low ratings, effectively choosing the product that was, in statistical (统计学的) terms, more likely to be low quality.
12. What does Powell’s research show about people’s use of ratings and reviews while choosing products?
A. It is always helpful for making smart decisions.
B. It leads to the bias that can result in poor decision-making.
C. It enables people to make informed decisions.
D. It allows users to choose fine quality products out of poor ones.
13. What is the focus of the research by Powell and his colleagues?
A. How wealth influences consumers’ choice of products.
B. How past experiences influence consumers’ choice of products.
C. How product quality influences consumers’ choice of products.
D. How information online influences consumers’ choice of products.
14. What do the participants’ choices in the experiment show?
A. They show a preference for higher-priced goods.
B. They balance quality and quantity of reviews well.
C. They show a strong bias toward less-reviewed options.
D. They often choose more-reviewed products even with low ratings.
15. What does the author think of using reviews and ratings for buying products?
A. It is a reasonable method. B. It is possibly misleading.
C. It is a future mainstream trend. D. It is biased against quality products.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段““We found that people were biased (有偏见的) toward choosing to buy more popular products and that this sometimes led them to make very poor decisions,” he explains. (“我们发现人们倾向于选择购买更受欢迎的产品,这有时会导致他们做出非常糟糕的决定,”他解释道。)”可知,Powell的研究表明,人们在选择产品时依赖评分和评论会导致偏见,从而做出糟糕的决定。故选B。
【13题详解】

【14题详解】
细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“This bias was so strong that they often preferred the more-reviewed phone case even when both of the options had low ratings, effectively choosing the product that was, in statistical (统计学的) terms, more likely to be low quality. (这种偏见是如此强烈,以至于他们往往更喜欢评价更高的手机壳,即使这两种选择的评分都很低,实际上是选择了从统计学角度来看更有可能是低质量的产品。)”可知,实验参与者经常选择评论数量更多的产品,即使这些产品的评分较低。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“When we’re trying to decide which cell phone case to buy or which hotel room to book, we often rely on the ratings and reviews of others to help us choose. But research suggests that we tend to use this information in ways that can actually work to our disadvantage. (当我们试图决定买哪个手机壳或预订哪个酒店房间时,我们经常依靠别人的评分和评论来帮助我们选择。但研究表明,我们倾向于以对自己不利的方式使用这些信息。)”和最后一段中“This bias was so strong that they often preferred the more-reviewed phone case even when both of the options had low ratings, effectively choosing the product that was, in statistical (统计学的) terms, more likely to be low quality. (这种偏见是如此强烈,以至于他们往往更喜欢评价更高的手机壳,即使这两种选择的评分都很低,实际上是选择了从统计学角度来看更有可能是低质量的产品。)”可知,作者认为使用评分和评论购买产品可能是误导性的。故选B。

考查定语从句。句意:顾名思义,春雷唤醒了在寒冷冬季蛰伏于地下的昆虫与小动物。此处引导限制性定语从句,先行词为insect and small animals,指物,在从句中作主语,所以应用关系代词that或which引导。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:气温迅速回升,整个世界再次充满生机。根据句意可知,此处上下文之间为并列关系,所以应用连词and连接。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:这个节气对农耕极为重要。此处修饰形容词important,应用副词highly。
【40题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:农民们开始在田间辛勤劳作,精心照料庄稼,因为他们相信春天做好充分准备,秋天就会迎来丰收。此处应用名词preparation“准备”作宾语,结合语境可知,此处应用其复数形式表示泛指。
【41题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:许多古老的谚语都体现了这个时节对农业的重要性,这些至理名言数千年来代代相传。此处应为谓语动词,根据时间状语for thousands of years可知,此处应用现在完成时,pass与主语之间为被动关系,所以应用现在完成时的被动语态,主语these wise sayings为复数,助动词用have。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:他们食用应季新鲜食材,进行轻度户外活动以保持精力充沛。stay作系动词后接形容词,此处应用形容词energetic“精力充沛的”作表语。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:桃花、梨花竞相绽放,让整个乡村生机勃勃、五彩斑斓。此处应用非谓语动词作状语,逻辑主语Peach blossoms and pear flowers bloom beautifully与make之间为主动关系,所以应用现在分词,作结果状语。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:惊蛰不仅为大自然带来新生,也让人们的内心充满希望与活力,正如春天本身——充满希望,也满含见证万物再次生长、欣欣向荣的喜悦。固定搭配fill…with… 表示“使……充满……”。
【45题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:惊蛰不仅为大自然带来新生,也让人们的内心充满希望与活力,正如春天本身——充满希望,也满含见证万物再次生长、欣欣向荣的喜悦。反身代词itself 指代spring,起强调作用。

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。
It was cool and bright and just right for running. I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race through some hills. Birds were singing on the trees. The soft wind was brushing my cheeks. I felt rested and springy. Despite the hills, I thought it was going to be a fine run.
Ahead was Blake, a student from Burke High School. He was running easily, too, moving along efficiently. The pace felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where he was; why bother concentrating on pace when Blake was such a nice pacesetter for me? I would overtake Blake later on when he used up energy.
So I ran closely behind him. The course headed north for five miles, wandered west for a mile, and then turned south again. The race was getting tougher. With three miles to go, it was beginning to be real hard work. My lungs were on fire, and legs felt like stone.
Blake overtook the boy in front of him. Apparently he knew the boy, for they exchanged a few words. Their brief communication worried me. Runners don’t chat during a race unless they feel really good, and Blake plainly was. There was still a noticeable bounce in his steps, but the springiness I had once possessed was gone.
Still, I was close enough to overtake Blake if he was tired, so I didn’t give up hope completely. We were approaching a hill, a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost certainly determine who crossed it first.
As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Blake was moving away, first five yards, then ten, then more. There was no hope of catching Blake.
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。
Suddenly Blake slowed and sat onto the ground painfully.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A reporter took a picture of this moving scene and posted it online.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Suddenly Blake slowed and sat onto the ground painfully. Then I hurried up and ran up to him, only to find that his leg was cramping. I tried to help him stand and move forward, but he refused. He asked me to run after the others so that I could get the first place. I thought for a second and decided to accompany him for a rest. Then we ran slowly forward together. Although we ran slowly and were overtaken by others, I felt relaxed and we finally crossed the finish line together.
A reporter took a picture of this moving scene and posted it online. During the time, the photo got a lot of likes. Many strangers sent the emails to praise me about the incident. In fact, I was a little hesitant at the beginning, but the moment I decided to help Blake, I felt calm and relaxed. I’m happy that I did the right thing.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者参加跑步赛跑,一开始跑的很轻松,后来遇到Blake,决定和他一起跑,但是后来作者想超过他,所以作者紧紧地跟在他后面跑,但是越跑越困难,但是作者仍然没有放弃希望,继续追赶他。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“突然,布莱克慢了下来,痛苦地坐在地上。”可知,第一段可描写Blake腿抽筋,我决定帮助他和他一起跑向终点。
②由第二段首句内容“一位记者拍下了这动人的一幕,并把它传到了网上。”可知,第二段可描写作者受到很多人的赞扬,非常开心自己做了一件正确的事情。
2.续写线索:帮助——陪着一起走——到达终点——受到赞扬——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①.加快:hurry up/ hasten
②.跑向:run up to /run to
③.追赶:run after /catch up with
