(本题10分)Science is a process that builds upon existing theories and knowledge by continuously revising them. Every aspect of scientific knowledge can be questioned, including the general rules of thinking that appear to be most certain. So why is science trustworthy if it is always changing? If tomorrow we will no longer see the world as Newton or Einstein found it to be, why should we take seriously today’s scientific description of the world?
The answer is simple: Because at any given moment of our history, this description of the world is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can’t diminish (降低) the fact that it is a useful instrument for understanding the world.
Consider a folk healer’s herbal medicine. Can we say this treatment is “scientific”? Yes, if it is proven to be effective, even if we have no idea why it works. In fact, quite a few common medications used today have their origin in folk treatments, and we are still not sure how they work. This does not imply that folk treatments are generally effective. To the contrary, many of them are not. What distinguishes scientific medicine is the readiness to seriously test a treatment and to be ready to change our minds if something is shown not to work. A research doctor in a modern hospital must be ready to change his theory if a more effective way of understanding illness, or treating it, becomes available.
What makes modern science uniquely powerful is its refusal to believe that it already possesses (掌握) ultimate truth. The reliability of science is based not on certainty but on a complete absence of certainty. That is to say: the ideas about science that we now have the strongest support for have no protection to rely on, and they are only an open invitation to the whole world to prove them unfounded.
24.(2.5分)Why does the author raise the two questions in paragraph 1?
A.To add some fun. B.To express doubts.
C.To introduce the topic. D.To provide background.
25.(2.5分)What can we learn about today’s scientific description of the world?
A.It can be timeless. B.It can be improved.
C.It is of little value. D.It is the best at any moment.
26.(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude toward folk treatment?
A.Positive. B.Objective. C.Negative. D.Indifferent.
27.(2.5分)What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A.It is unwise to believe in science.
B.Too much uncertainty lies in science.
C.The foundation of science is unfounded.
D.The lack of certainty makes science credible.
【答案】24.C 25.B 26.B 27.D
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了科学值得信赖的原因在于其不断改进且不确信已掌握终极真理。
24.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Science is a process that builds upon existing theories and knowledge by continuously revising them.(科学是一个建立在现有理论和知识基础上并不断修正它们的过程)”及“So why is science trustworthy if it is always changing? If tomorrow we will no longer see the world as Newton or Einstein found it to be, why should we take seriously today’s scientific description of the world?(那么,既然科学一直处于变化之中,为何它还值得人们信赖呢?倘若未来我们看待世界的方式,不再与牛顿或爱因斯坦的认知相同,我们又为何要重视当下的科学对世界的描述呢?)”结合第二段中“The answer is simple: Because at any given moment of our history, this description of the world is the best we have.(答案很简单:因为在历史的任何特定时刻,这个对世界的描述都是我们所拥有的最好的描述)”可知,作者在首段提出问题是为了引出“科学为什么可靠”这一话题。故选C。
25.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Because at any given moment of our history, this description of the world is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can’t diminish the fact that it is a useful instrument for understanding the world.(因为在历史的任何特定时刻,这个对世界的描述都是我们所拥有的最好的描述。它可以被改进的事实,并不能削弱它是一个理解世界的有效工具这一事实)”可知,我们今天对世界的科学描述是当前最好的,并且是可以被改进的。故选B。
26.推理判断题。根据第三段中“In fact, quite a few common medications used today have their origin in folk treatments, and we are still not sure how they work. This does not imply that folk treatments are generally effective. To the contrary, many of them are not. What distinguishes scientific medicine is the readiness to seriously test a treatment and to be ready to change our minds if something is shown not to work.(事实上,如今使用的不少常见药物都起源于民间疗法,而我们至今仍不清楚它们的作用原理。但这并不意味着民间疗法普遍有效。恰恰相反,很多民间疗法其实是无效的。科学疗法的独到之处,在于它愿意对疗法进行严谨检验,且一旦发现某种疗法被证实无效,便会及时调整思路)”可知,作者既肯定部分民间疗法经证实有效且成为现代药物源头,又指出很多民间疗法无效,并说明科学疗法与民间疗法的区别在于是否愿意接受检验和及时修正。作者的表述客观中立,无明显偏向。故选B。
27.段落大意题。根据第四段中“What makes modern science uniquely powerful is its refusal to believe that it already possesses ultimate truth. The reliability of science is based not on certainty but on a complete absence of certainty.(现代科学之所以独特而强大,是因为它拒绝相信已经掌握了终极真理。科学的可靠性不是基于确定性,而是基于完全缺乏确定性)”可知,本段核心观点是:科学的可信性恰恰源于其不认为自己是绝对确定的,即缺乏确定性让科学具有可信度。故选D。
(本题10分)For four decades, there’s been an invisible hand guiding the way we write, work, and communicate: Microsoft Word.
Upon its launch in 1983, this software was first known as Multi-Tool Word, before being renamed Microsoft Word for Dos. By 1994, Microsoft says it had occupied a 90% share of the word-processing market, securing its position as one of the most successful software products in history.
Word’s spell-checker and grammar features have evolved into subtle judges of language. When typing on Word, the software can automatically correct your spelling, and make suggestions for what to write next. These suggestions aren’t based on your personal writing style and tone — they’re rule-based. Writers might unintentionally abandon their unique voices and expressions. For those trying to learn a language, or even get better at their native tongue, features such as autocorrect have been-found to have a negative impact on student’s writing abilities and spelling skills.
Based on a quick experiment, if Harper Lee had used Word to write To Kill a Mockingbird, the software would have suggested changing: “I never loved to read. One does not love breathing,” to “I never loved to read. Breathing is necessary.” Does this remove the poetry and. depth of the original? The illustration is somewhat facetious, but it shows the effects using such tools can have.
As artificial intelligence is integrated into word processing, a potential over-dependence on automation could discourage users from actively learning. Alternatively, AI may free people up to be even more creative. Its ability to learn and understand a person’s unique writing style could lead to an era of highly personal, unlimited imagination. The ultimate impact depends on how individuals and communities choose to use this powerful tool.
28.(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To show the help from Microsoft.
B.To discuss the effects of Microsoft Word.
C.To introduce the evolution of Microsoft Word.
D.To explain the reason for popularity of Microsoft Word.
29.(2.5分)What does the underlined word “facetious” mean?
A.serious B.fantastic C.amazing D.funny
30.(2.5分)How does the author illustrate the effects of Microsoft Word?
A.By listing data and descriptions. B.By giving examples and analysis.
C.By quoting writers’ remarks and reasons. D.By presenting changes and consequences.
31.(2.5分)What is the writer’s attitude towards the integration of AI into Microsoft Word?
A.Positive B.Negative C.Objective D.Unconcerned
【答案】28.B 29.D 30.B 31.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Microsoft Word软件的影响,比如Word的拼写检查和语法功能可能会让写作者无意中放弃自己独特的声音和表达方式,以及Word软件可能会建议改变一些具有诗意和深度的句子等。
28.推理判断题。根据第三段“Word’s spell-checker and grammar features have evolved into subtle judges of language. When typing on Word, the software can automatically correct your spelling, and make suggestions for what to write next. These suggestions aren’t based on your personal writing style and tone — they’re rule-based. Writers might unintentionally abandon their unique voices and expressions. For those trying to learn a language, or even get better at their native tongue, features such as autocorrect have been-found to have a negative impact on student’s writing abilities and spelling skills.(Word的拼写检查和语法功能已经演变成对语言的微妙判断。当你在Word上打字时,软件会自动纠正你的拼写,并建议你接下来要写什么。这些建议不是基于你个人的写作风格和语气——它们是基于规则的。写作者可能会无意中放弃他们独特的声音和表达方式。对于那些想学习一门语言,甚至想提高母语水平的人来说,自动纠错等功能会对学生的写作能力和拼写技能产生负面影响)”结合文章主要说明了Microsoft Word软件影响,比如Word的拼写检查和语法功能可能会让写作者无意中放弃自己独特的声音和表达方式,以及Word软件可能会建议改变一些具有诗意和深度的句子等。可知,文章的主要目的是讨论Microsoft Word的影响。故选B。
29.词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Based on a quick experiment, if Harper Lee had used Word to write To Kill a Mockingbird, the software would have suggested changing: “I never loved to read. One does not love breathing,” to “I never loved to read. Breathing is necessary.”(根据一个快速的实验,如果哈珀·李用Word写《杀死一只知更鸟》,软件会建议修改:“我从不觉得自己热爱读书,道理就像人们不会热爱呼吸一样”改为“我从来就不爱读书。呼吸是必要的。”)”可知,微软的修改建议“One does not love breathing”是比喻说法,用来强调“I never loved to read”的程度,而Word软件的建议将这种比喻改为了普通的陈述句,改变了原本的意思,显得有点滑稽。故划线词意思是“滑稽的”。故选D。
30.推理判断题。根据第三段“Writers might unintentionally abandon their unique voices and expressions.(写作者可能会无意中放弃他们独特的声音和表达方式)”以及第四段“Based on a quick experiment, if Harper Lee had used Word to write To Kill a Mockingbird, the software would have suggested changing: “I never loved to read. One does not love breathing,” to “I never loved to read. Breathing is necessary.”(根据一个快速的实验,如果哈珀·李用Word写《杀死一只知更鸟》,软件会建议修改:“我从不觉得自己热爱读书,道理就像人们不会热爱呼吸一样”改为“我从来就不爱读书。呼吸是必要的。”)”可知,作者通过举例和分析说明Microsoft Word的影响。故选B。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段“As artificial intelligence is integrated into word processing, a potential over-dependence on automation could discourage users from actively learning. Alternatively, AI may free people up to be even more creative.(随着人工智能被集成到文字处理中,对自动化的潜在过度依赖可能会阻碍用户主动学习。另一方面,人工智能可能会让人们变得更有创造力)”可知,作者认为将AI整合到Microsoft Word中各有利弊,因此态度是客观的。故选C。
(本题10分)Researchers found that they could accurately (准确地) predict how close two people were based only on their brain activity in response to a series of unfamiliar video clips. Put simply: You and your best friends really do think alike. According to a Dartmouth study finding, friends have similar neural (神经的) responses to real-world stimuli (刺激) and these similarities can be used to predict who your friends are. The study reveals that friends have the most similar neural activity patterns, followed by friends-of-friends who, in turn, have more similar neural activity than people three degrees removed (friends-of-friends-of-friends).
Published in Nature Communications, the study is the first of its kind to examine the connections between the neural reaction of people within a real-world social network. “Neural responses to active, naturalistic stimuli, like videos, can give us a window into people’s unlimited, unplanned thought processes as they unfold. Our results suggest that friends process the world around them in exceptionally similar ways,” says lead author Carolyn Parkinson.
The study analyzed the friendships or social ties within a group of 280 graduate students. The researchers estimated the social distance between pairs of individuals based on mutually (相互地) reported social ties. Forty-two of the students were asked to watch a range of videos while their neural activity was recorded in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. The videos covered a range of topics and genres, including politics, science, comedy and music videos, for which a range of responses was expected. Each participant watched the same videos in the same order, with the same instructions. The researchers then compared the neural responses in pairs across the set of students to determine if pairs of students who were friends had more similar brain activity than pairs further removed from each other in their social network.
The findings revealed that neural response similarity was strongest among friends, and this pattern appeared across brain regions involved in emotional responding and high-level reasoning. Even when the researchers controlled variables (变量), including left-handedness or right-handedness, age, gender, race, and nationality, the analogy (类比) in neural activity among friends was still evident. The team also found that fMRI response similarities could be used to predict not only if a pair were friends but also the social distance between the two.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究者们通过分析大脑活动模式来预测人际关系的研究,研究发现朋友间的大脑活动模式最为相似。
【详解】32.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Published in Nature Communications, the study is the first of its kind to examine the connections between the neural reaction of people within a real-world social network.(该研究发表在《自然通讯》上,是首个研究现实世界社交网络中人们神经反应之间联系的研究)”和“Our results suggest that friends process the world around them in exceptionally similar ways(我们的研究结果表明,朋友们以极其相似的方式处理周围的世界)”可知,这项研究是首创的,它检查了人们的神经反应。故选D项。
33.主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The study analyzed the friendships or social ties within a group of 280 graduate students. The researchers estimated the social distance between pairs of individuals based on mutually (相互地) reported social ties. Forty-two of the students were asked to watch a range of videos while their neural activity was recorded in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner.

Each participant watched the same videos in the same order, with the same instructions. The researchers then compared the neural responses in pairs across the set of students to determine if pairs of students who were friends had more similar brain activity than pairs further removed from each other in their social network.(该研究分析了280名研究生群体中的友谊或社会关系。研究人员根据相互报告的社会关系来估计个体之间的社会距离。42名学生被要求观看一系列视频,同时他们的大脑活动被功能性磁共振成像(fMRI)扫描仪记录下来。这些视频涵盖了一系列的主题和类型,包括政治、科学、喜剧和音乐视频,预计会产生一系列的反应。每个参与者都按照相同的顺序和相同的指令观看相同的视频。然后,研究人员比较了这组学生中成对神经反应,以确定朋友关系的学生是否比社交网络中关系更远的学生有更相似的大脑活动)”可知,本段主要介绍了研究的过程。故选A项。
34.推理判断题。通读全文,结合文章最后一段中“The findings revealed that neural response similarity was strongest among friends, and this pattern appeared across brain regions involved in emotional responding and high-level reasoning. Even when the researchers controlled variables (变量), including left-handedness or right-handedness, age, gender, race, and nationality, the analogy (类比) in neural activity among friends was still evident. The team also found that fMRI response similarities could be used to predict not only if a pair were friends but also the social distance between the two.(研究结果显示,朋友之间的神经反应相似性最强,这种模式出现在涉及情绪反应和高级推理的大脑区域。即使研究人员控制了变量,包括左撇子或右撇子、年龄、性别、种族和国籍,朋友之间神经活动的类比仍然很明显。研究小组还发现,fMRI反应的相似性不仅可以用来预测一对人是否是朋友,还可以用来预测两人之间的社交距离)”可知,作者在文中介绍了这项研究的内容、过程和发现等,没有表达出明显的个人情感倾向,所以是客观地陈述了研究结果。故选C项。
35.主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“According to a Dartmouth study finding, friends have similar neural (神经的) responses to real-world stimuli (刺激) and these similarities can be used to predict who your friends are.(根据达特茅斯的一项研究发现,朋友对现实世界刺激的神经反应相似,这些相似性可以用来预测谁是你的朋友)”可知,本文主要介绍了研究者们通过分析大脑活动模式来预测人际关系的研究,研究发现朋友间的大脑活动模式最为相似,文章整体围绕通过神经反应揭示友谊的研究展开。故D项“Friendship Seen Through Neural Patterns.(通过神经模式看友谊)”能概括文章内容,适合做文章标题。故选D项。
(本题12.5分)One of the most significant developments throughout history is the speed of information sharing. Never has it been so easy to learn about what’s happening in the world, and while sending it to our circles of friends and family who’ll share it with their circles of friends and family, in less than five minutes, we’ve all read the same article, viewed the same post or watched the same video. 36(2.5分)
However, I find there’s a bad side to every good thing. Due to the amount of information that’s shared, sometimes, negative news outweighs positive ones. 37(2.5分) Consequently, the moment you open your phone, you’re met with news about conflict, disease or economic instability. Unavoidably, this will affect the way your brain processes information and ultimately your mental health.
You may feel more worried when a friend says to you, “There’s nothing wrong with my life. 38(2.5分) ” Possibly it’s because most of the conversations around you and the content you’re consuming center around what someone is doing wrong, or what you shouldn’t be doing with your life. It’s impossible to feel good about yourself when you’re constantly reminded of what’s going wrong.
How lucky I am that I can choose to simply put my phone away when I don’t want to be reminded about a disease happening in a community! 39(2.5分) It’s always essential to find the balance between staying informed and not letting the overconsumption of information affect our mental health.
40(2.5分) If this information is mostly negative, we’ll suffer because of it. So make sure that you stay informed from proper news sources, but it’s also okay to choose to put your phone away and watch a comedy show instead.
A.It must be dealt with in time.
B.Personally, I find this to be remarkable.
C.However, I don’t know why I feel anxious.
D.It’s with a certain sense of shame that I share this.
E.We must take care of ourselves to the extent that we can.
F.Everyone is angry and scared and they’re sharing these emotions online.
G.We live such fast-paced lives, with our brains constantly receiving information.
【答案】36.B 37.F 38.C 39.E 40.G
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讨论了信息共享速度加快带来的利弊,指出负面信息过多会影响心理健康,强调要找到信息获取与心理健康之间的平衡。
【详解】36.上文“One of the most significant developments throughout history is the speed of information sharing. Never has it been so easy to learn about what’s happening in the world, and while sending it to our circles of friends and family who’ll share it with their circles of friends and family, in less than five minutes, we’ve all read the same article, viewed the same post or watched the same video.(历史上最重要的进展之一就是信息共享的速度。了解世界上正在发生的事情从未如此容易,在不到五分钟的时间里,我们就可以把信息发送给我们的朋友圈和家人,他们也会分享给他们的朋友圈和家人,我们都读了同一篇文章,看了同一个帖子或同一个视频)”描述了信息共享速度之快,范围之广。B选项“Personally, I find this to be remarkable.(就我个人而言,我觉得这很了不起)”承接上文,表达了对信息共享速度之快的个人看法,同时与下文“However, I find there’s a bad side to every good thing.(然而,我发现每件好事都有不好的一面)”构成转折关系,上下文逻辑连贯。故选B项。
37.上文“However, I find there’s a bad side to every good thing. Due to the amount of information that’s shared, sometimes, negative news outweighs positive ones.(然而,我发现每件事都有不好的一面。由于共享的信息量很大,有时负面新闻多于正面新闻)”指出了信息共享带来的负面影响,即负面新闻多于正面新闻。F选项“Everyone is angry and scared and they’re sharing these emotions online.(每个人都很愤怒和害怕,他们在网上分享这些情绪)”进一步解释了负面新闻的影响,即人们会在网上分享愤怒和恐惧的情绪,上下文语意连贯。故选F项。
38.根据上文“You may feel more worried when a friend says to you...(当朋友对你说……时,你可能会感到更担心)”可知,朋友说的某些话会让人感到担心,下文“Possibly it’s because most of the conversations around you and the content you’re consuming center around what someone is doing wrong, or what you shouldn’t be doing with your life. It’s impossible to feel good about yourself when you’re constantly reminded of what’s going wrong.(或许是因为你周遭的对话和接触的内容,总在聚焦他人的过失或你人生中不该做的事。当不断被提醒哪些地方出了问题,人很难对自己产生良好的感觉)”解释了原因。由此推知,朋友的话是消极的语言,是在指出问题,很难让人产生良好的感觉。C选项“However, I don’t know why I feel anxious.(然而,我不知道为什么我感到焦虑)”表达了无名的焦虑,很难让人产生良好的感觉。故选C项。
39.上文“How lucky I am that I can choose to simply put my phone away when I don’t want to be reminded about a disease happening in a community!(我真幸运,当我不想被提醒社区里发生的疾病时,我可以选择把手机收起来!)”描述了作者可以选择把手机收起来以避免负面信息的影响。E选项“We must take care of ourselves to the extent that we can.(我们必须尽可能地照顾好自己)”承接上文,强调要照顾好自己,避免负面信息的影响,上下文语意连贯。故选E项。
40.下文“If this information is mostly negative, we’ll suffer because of it. So make sure that you stay informed from proper news sources, but it’s also okay to choose to put your phone away and watch a comedy show instead.(如果这些信息大多是负面的,我们就会因此受苦。所以,确保你从正确的新闻来源获取信息,但选择把手机收起来看喜剧节目也是可以的)”强调了要平衡信息获取和心理健康的关系。G选项“We live such fast-paced lives, with our brains constantly receiving information.(我们过着如此快节奏的生活,大脑不断接收信息)”引出下文,指出我们生活在信息爆炸的时代,大脑不断接收信息,因此需要平衡信息获取和心理健康的关系,上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
三、完形填空
(本题15分)People who live in cities are starting to get a lot more information to help plan their daily lives. Smarter City systems are telling residents about traffic jams, the time the next bus will arrive, the 41 for flooding, and other useful updates.
This is happening because cities are 42 the streams of information from sensors to manage urban systems better. The number of 43 like these sensors will reach 50 billion by 2020. Cities are complex systems of systems that have always 44 vast amounts of information. Information flowing in from many small subsystems, such as local flood catch-basins, is integrated with other 45 to provide guidance on the overall operation of a city. This integrated data, from such systems of systems, is then given to city administrators in useful formats that can change 46 for the better.
47 , in many cities, the coming population growth will challenge even the most skilled city managers, and the old infrastructure of many such cities is not equipped with the ability to gather the data needed to 48 city operations. Despite the seeming 49 of data gathering infrastructure, another option exists, considering the shift from desktop computing to mobile devices and tablets.
Mobile technology has 50 dramatically in the past decade to the point where a lightweight smartphone may gather all kinds of data, such as its location, local temperature and background noise levels. Furthermore, in the near future, additional 51 are easily imagined, where sensors will be able to detect chemical pollution, local lighting conditions, vibration levels, and more.
This will enable a new era where citizens are able to participate in city management, where the very data required to improve city operations is in part 52 provided by its citizens via smartphone apps.
It also raises complex 53 issues that must be dealt with as we face this new era, but similarly provides opportunities for the citizens to play an active role in the improvement of their 54 , not only in the reporting of critical environmental and transportation data, but in taking an active role in solving the problems they have encountered.
It will be a cooperative and informed effort, with information technology enabling social transformation, to 55 the growing challenges facing our cities in the coming decades.

四、语法填空
(本题15分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
A Chinese research team has recently made a breakthrough in developing “long-lifespan rice” by identifying the key gene (基因) and mechanism that enable wild rice 56(1.5分) (harvest) multiple times, and has successfully introduced this gene into a cultivated (栽培) rice variety. This latest 57(1.5分) (achieve) has been published in the international academic journal Science.
According to 58(1.5分) paper, the Chinese team identifies two genes that help the wild rice Oryza rufipogon grow well year after year by adding these genes to the cultivated rice O. sativa, which gave it a key perennial trait (多年生特性): the ability to stop flowering and resume vegetative growth, instead 59(1.5分) dying off after flowering as annual plants 60(1.5分) (general) do.
Experts say that while the genetic basis of rice longevity 61(1.5分) (reveal) so far, the research remains largely at a fundamental stage. 62(1.5分) (system) evaluations of yield, taste, and other characteristics have yet to be completed. Overall, the new rice is not intended to replace existing high-yield varieties, 63(1.5分) rather to serve as an addition to current farming systems.
Still, experts say that “longevity rice” shows potential in low-productivity areas such as sloped farmland and hilly regions, 64(1.5分) the planting conditions are challenging but its characteristic could reduce labor input and help conserve soil, 65(1.5分) (offer) distinct ecological and economic value.
【答案】
56.to be harvested 57.achievement 58.the 59.of 60.generally 61.has been revealed 62.Systematic 63.but 64.where 65.offering
【导语】本文主要介绍中国研究团队在培育多年生“长寿水稻”过程中取得的基因研究突破,说明了该研究的发展现状、定位和应用价值。
【详解】56.考查非谓语动词。句意:中国一支研究团队近期在培育“长寿稻”方面取得突破,他们找到了能让野生水稻多次收割的关键基因与作用机制,并已成功将该基因导入一种栽培水稻品种。“enable sb. /sth. to do sth. ”意为“使得某人或某物能够做某事”,宾语wild rice与动词harvest之间是逻辑上的被动关系,此处用不定式的被动式to be harvested作宾语补足语。
57.考查名词。句意:这一最新研究成果已发表在国际学术期刊《科学》上。此处指“研究成果”,作句子主语,谓语部分为has been published,前有单数指示代词This修饰,用单数名词,故用所给动词的名词achievement。
58.考查冠词。句意:根据该论文所述,这支中国科研团队找到了两种可使普通野生稻年年正常生长的基因,研究人员将这两种基因导入栽培稻后,栽培稻便获得了一项核心多年生特性:能够停止开花并恢复营养生长,而非像一年生植物通常那样,开花后就枯萎死亡。此处特指上文提到发表在《科学》上的那篇论文,用定冠词the。
59.考查介词。句意同上。instead of为固定介词短语,意为“而不是”,后接动名词dying off作宾语,此空填of。
60.考查副词。句意同上。空处修饰从句谓语动词do(代指die off),用副词generally作状语。
61.考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:专家表示,虽然水稻长寿性的遗传基础迄今已被揭示,但这项研究在很大程度上仍处于基础阶段。根据时间状语so far可知,此处用现在完成时,主语the genetic basis of rice longevity与动词reveal是被动关系,主语为单数,用现在完成时的被动语态has been revealed。
62.考查形容词。句意:针对产量、口感及其他性状的系统性评估尚未完成。修饰名词evaluations需要用形容词;system是名词,其形容词形式为systematic,句首单词首字母大写。
63.考查并列连词固定结构。 句意:总体而言,这种新型水稻并非要取代现有的高产品种,而是作为现有耕作体系的补充。 固定结构not...but rather... 意为 “不是…… 而是……”,此空填连词but。
64.考查定语从句。句意:尽管如此,专家表示,“长寿稻” 在坡耕地、丘陵等低产区域具备发展潜力。这类地区种植条件艰苦,但该水稻品种的特性能够减少人力投入、助力水土保持,带来显著的生态与经济双重效益。该空引导的是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词为low-productivity areas,表地点,关系词指代先行词在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where。
65.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。offer在句中作非谓语动词,动词offer与其逻辑主语(即空前的一整句话)之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,表示自然而然的结果,用现在分词形式offering作状语。

No matter how old we are when they leave us, it can be a heartbroken experience to lose one of our loved ones. Our memories are all that is left by them and happy reminders of their love turn into our most valuable treasures. That’s how Mara Soriano feels about the teddy bear that she tragically lost in her recent move to a new apartment.
Diagnosed with cancer, Mara Soriano’s mother, Marilyn, gave her daughter the bear as a gift in 2017. After Marilyn’s death in June, the gift became even more special to Mara. “That bear was basically the last reminder of my mom. It was her voice that accompanied me,” she said in an interview.
The plush (长毛绒制成的) toy didn’t cost a lot, but it contained a recording of her mother’s voice telling her that she loved her and was proud of her. The bear, called Mamabear, was in the backpack that contained electronics. When the bag was lost last week during the move, the 28-year-old was heartbroken—not for the gadgets (小装置), but for Mamabear.
Mara posted a photo of her and her Mamabear on social media, explaining the importance of the bear. Millions of people were touched by the story. More and more people were talking about the bear, but there was no good news for Mara. So again and again she posted online about the item and the story behind it, hoping it could catch more viewers’ attention in a big way.
A famous actor was moved by Mara’s story and then posted an appeal (请求) for Mamabear’s safe return. “I think we all need this bear to come home,” he wrote. Along with the message, he also offered a $5,000 reward to the people who found the bear.

【答案】参考范文:
Luckily, the Internet did its thing. It’s a bit of a modern-day wonder that would never have happened without social media. Mara’s story was quickly and continuously spread via the Internet. Several days later, with anxiety and worry, Mara finally got positive feedback. Mara said she got an email from someone.The sender told her that the bear was on the way back. On Tuesday night, Mara’s bear came home.
The email was from the woman who sent the bear back. She told Mara that she was deeply touched by Mara’s story. And she didn’t want the reward, just hoping that Mara could live a happy life with memories of her mother in the future. Mara is getting married next summer and the bear is going to have a special seat at her wedding ceremony—the one her mother would sit in. For now, she’s keeping Mamabear close and sending thanks to those who kind-heartedly helped with the happy reunion.

(本题10分)Science is a process that builds upon existing theories and knowledge by continuously revising them. Every aspect of scientific knowledge can be questioned, including the general rules of thinking that appear to be most certain. So why is science trustworthy if it is always changing? If tomorrow we will no longer see the world as Newton or Einstein found it to be, why should we take seriously today’s scientific description of the world?
The answer is simple: Because at any given moment of our history, this description of the world is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can’t diminish (降低) the fact that it is a useful instrument for understanding the world.
Consider a folk healer’s herbal medicine. Can we say this treatment is “scientific”? Yes, if it is proven to be effective, even if we have no idea why it works. In fact, quite a few common medications used today have their origin in folk treatments, and we are still not sure how they work. This does not imply that folk treatments are generally effective. To the contrary, many of them are not. What distinguishes scientific medicine is the readiness to seriously test a treatment and to be ready to change our minds if something is shown not to work. A research doctor in a modern hospital must be ready to change his theory if a more effective way of understanding illness, or treating it, becomes available.
What makes modern science uniquely powerful is its refusal to believe that it already possesses (掌握) ultimate truth. The reliability of science is based not on certainty but on a complete absence of certainty. That is to say: the ideas about science that we now have the strongest support for have no protection to rely on, and they are only an open invitation to the whole world to prove them unfounded.
24.(2.5分)Why does the author raise the two questions in paragraph 1?
A.To add some fun. B.To express doubts.
C.To introduce the topic. D.To provide background.
25.(2.5分)What can we learn about today’s scientific description of the world?
A.It can be timeless. B.It can be improved.
C.It is of little value. D.It is the best at any moment.
26.(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude toward folk treatment?
A.Positive. B.Objective. C.Negative. D.Indifferent.
27.(2.5分)What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A.It is unwise to believe in science.
B.Too much uncertainty lies in science.
C.The foundation of science is unfounded.
D.The lack of certainty makes science credible.
(本题10分)For four decades, there’s been an invisible hand guiding the way we write, work, and communicate: Microsoft Word.
Upon its launch in 1983, this software was first known as Multi-Tool Word, before being renamed Microsoft Word for Dos. By 1994, Microsoft says it had occupied a 90% share of the word-processing market, securing its position as one of the most successful software products in history.
Word’s spell-checker and grammar features have evolved into subtle judges of language. When typing on Word, the software can automatically correct your spelling, and make suggestions for what to write next. These suggestions aren’t based on your personal writing style and tone — they’re rule-based. Writers might unintentionally abandon their unique voices and expressions. For those trying to learn a language, or even get better at their native tongue, features such as autocorrect have been-found to have a negative impact on student’s writing abilities and spelling skills.
Based on a quick experiment, if Harper Lee had used Word to write To Kill a Mockingbird, the software would have suggested changing: “I never loved to read. One does not love breathing,” to “I never loved to read. Breathing is necessary.” Does this remove the poetry and. depth of the original? The illustration is somewhat facetious, but it shows the effects using such tools can have.
As artificial intelligence is integrated into word processing, a potential over-dependence on automation could discourage users from actively learning. Alternatively, AI may free people up to be even more creative. Its ability to learn and understand a person’s unique writing style could lead to an era of highly personal, unlimited imagination. The ultimate impact depends on how individuals and communities choose to use this powerful tool.
28.(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To show the help from Microsoft.
B.To discuss the effects of Microsoft Word.
C.To introduce the evolution of Microsoft Word.
D.To explain the reason for popularity of Microsoft Word.
29.(2.5分)What does the underlined word “facetious” mean?
A.serious B.fantastic C.amazing D.funny
30.(2.5分)How does the author illustrate the effects of Microsoft Word?
A.By listing data and descriptions. B.By giving examples and analysis.
C.By quoting writers’ remarks and reasons. D.By presenting changes and consequences.
31.(2.5分)What is the writer’s attitude towards the integration of AI into Microsoft Word?
A.Positive B.Negative C.Objective D.Unconcerned
(本题10分)Researchers found that they could accurately (准确地) predict how close two people were based only on their brain activity in response to a series of unfamiliar video clips. Put simply: You and your best friends really do think alike. According to a Dartmouth study finding, friends have similar neural (神经的) responses to real-world stimuli (刺激) and these similarities can be used to predict who your friends are. The study reveals that friends have the most similar neural activity patterns, followed by friends-of-friends who, in turn, have more similar neural activity than people three degrees removed (friends-of-friends-of-friends).
Published in Nature Communications, the study is the first of its kind to examine the connections between the neural reaction of people within a real-world social network. “Neural responses to active, naturalistic stimuli, like videos, can give us a window into people’s unlimited, unplanned thought processes as they unfold. Our results suggest that friends process the world around them in exceptionally similar ways,” says lead author Carolyn Parkinson.
The study analyzed the friendships or social ties within a group of 280 graduate students. The researchers estimated the social distance between pairs of individuals based on mutually (相互地) reported social ties. Forty-two of the students were asked to watch a range of videos while their neural activity was recorded in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. The videos covered a range of topics and genres, including politics, science, comedy and music videos, for which a range of responses was expected. Each participant watched the same videos in the same order, with the same instructions. The researchers then compared the neural responses in pairs across the set of students to determine if pairs of students who were friends had more similar brain activity than pairs further removed from each other in their social network.
The findings revealed that neural response similarity was strongest among friends, and this pattern appeared across brain regions involved in emotional responding and high-level reasoning. Even when the researchers controlled variables (变量), including left-handedness or right-handedness, age, gender, race, and nationality, the analogy (类比) in neural activity among friends was still evident. The team also found that fMRI response similarities could be used to predict not only if a pair were friends but also the social distance between the two.
32.(2.5分)What can we learn about the study mentioned in the text?
A.It involved more than 200 students watching various videos.
B.It required a professional device to analyze participants’ conversation.
C.It has not gained acceptance from the academic world yet.
D.It is original and checks people’s neural responses.
33.(2.5分)What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The process of the study. B.The design of the study.
C.The findings of the study. D.The breakthrough of the study.
34.(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude towards the findings of the study?
A.Doubtful. B.Supportive. C.Objective. D.Indifferent.
35.(2.5分)What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Neural Responses Shape Social Bonds.
B.How Vidos Connect People’s Minds.
C.The Science Behind Social Networks.
D.Friendship Seen Through Neural Patterns.
(本题12.5分)One of the most significant developments throughout history is the speed of information sharing. Never has it been so easy to learn about what’s happening in the world, and while sending it to our circles of friends and family who’ll share it with their circles of friends and family, in less than five minutes, we’ve all read the same article, viewed the same post or watched the same video. 36(2.5分)
However, I find there’s a bad side to every good thing. Due to the amount of information that’s shared, sometimes, negative news outweighs positive ones. 37(2.5分) Consequently, the moment you open your phone, you’re met with news about conflict, disease or economic instability. Unavoidably, this will affect the way your brain processes information and ultimately your mental health.
You may feel more worried when a friend says to you, “There’s nothing wrong with my life. 38(2.5分) ” Possibly it’s because most of the conversations around you and the content you’re consuming center around what someone is doing wrong, or what you shouldn’t be doing with your life. It’s impossible to feel good about yourself when you’re constantly reminded of what’s going wrong.
How lucky I am that I can choose to simply put my phone away when I don’t want to be reminded about a disease happening in a community! 39(2.5分) It’s always essential to find the balance between staying informed and not letting the overconsumption of information affect our mental health.
40(2.5分) If this information is mostly negative, we’ll suffer because of it. So make sure that you stay informed from proper news sources, but it’s also okay to choose to put your phone away and watch a comedy show instead.
A.It must be dealt with in time.
B.Personally, I find this to be remarkable.
C.However, I don’t know why I feel anxious.
D.It’s with a certain sense of shame that I share this.
E.We must take care of ourselves to the extent that we can.
F.Everyone is angry and scared and they’re sharing these emotions online.
G.We live such fast-paced lives, with our brains constantly receiving information.

(本题15分)People who live in cities are starting to get a lot more information to help plan their daily lives. Smarter City systems are telling residents about traffic jams, the time the next bus will arrive, the 41 for flooding, and other useful updates.
This is happening because cities are 42 the streams of information from sensors to manage urban systems better. The number of 43 like these sensors will reach 50 billion by 2020. Cities are complex systems of systems that have always 44 vast amounts of information. Information flowing in from many small subsystems, such as local flood catch-basins, is integrated with other 45 to provide guidance on the overall operation of a city. This integrated data, from such systems of systems, is then given to city administrators in useful formats that can change 46 for the better.
47 , in many cities, the coming population growth will challenge even the most skilled city managers, and the old infrastructure of many such cities is not equipped with the ability to gather the data needed to 48 city operations. Despite the seeming 49 of data gathering infrastructure, another option exists, considering the shift from desktop computing to mobile devices and tablets.
Mobile technology has 50 dramatically in the past decade to the point where a lightweight smartphone may gather all kinds of data, such as its location, local temperature and background noise levels. Furthermore, in the near future, additional 51 are easily imagined, where sensors will be able to detect chemical pollution, local lighting conditions, vibration levels, and more.
This will enable a new era where citizens are able to participate in city management, where the very data required to improve city operations is in part 52 provided by its citizens via smartphone apps.
It also raises complex 53 issues that must be dealt with as we face this new era, but similarly provides opportunities for the citizens to play an active role in the improvement of their 54 , not only in the reporting of critical environmental and transportation data, but in taking an active role in solving the problems they have encountered.
It will be a cooperative and informed effort, with information technology enabling social transformation, to 55 the growing challenges facing our cities in the coming decades.

四、语法填空
(本题15分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
A Chinese research team has recently made a breakthrough in developing “long-lifespan rice” by identifying the key gene (基因) and mechanism that enable wild rice 56(1.5分) (harvest) multiple times, and has successfully introduced this gene into a cultivated (栽培) rice variety. This latest 57(1.5分) (achieve) has been published in the international academic journal Science.
According to 58(1.5分) paper, the Chinese team identifies two genes that help the wild rice Oryza rufipogon grow well year after year by adding these genes to the cultivated rice O. sativa, which gave it a key perennial trait (多年生特性): the ability to stop flowering and resume vegetative growth, instead 59(1.5分) dying off after flowering as annual plants 60(1.5分) (general) do.
Experts say that while the genetic basis of rice longevity 61(1.5分) (reveal) so far, the research remains largely at a fundamental stage. 62(1.5分) (system) evaluations of yield, taste, and other characteristics have yet to be completed. Overall, the new rice is not intended to replace existing high-yield varieties, 63(1.5分) rather to serve as an addition to current farming systems.
Still, experts say that “longevity rice” shows potential in low-productivity areas such as sloped farmland and hilly regions, 64(1.5分) the planting conditions are challenging but its characteristic could reduce labor input and help conserve soil, 65(1.5分) (offer) distinct ecological and economic value.

No matter how old we are when they leave us, it can be a heartbroken experience to lose one of our loved ones. Our memories are all that is left by them and happy reminders of their love turn into our most valuable treasures.
