Then,I often worked at home.As interactions moved online,suddenly everyone became a stranger.For my peace of mind,I needed to get to the bottom of why I see the world so differently from most people.Through a combination of luck and privilege,I connected with a specialist who gave me an official diagnosis().Even though I had already essentially diagnosed myself,it was a relief to have a professional put a formal name to it. More importantly,I realized I had to face reality.Now if I'm going to an event where I'm expected to know people,I send an e-mail explaining that if I ignore them,it won't be intentional. I've found that people are less likely to be offended when they know beforehand. But sometimes I feel like something out of a science-fiction plot.Arecent presentation titled You Don't Belong Here was intended to show how some environments can be exclusionary( and what can be done to address that.As the presenters alternated between acting out scenes and commenting on them,I left feeling exactly as the title said.It would have been a great help if they had explained at the beginning that they were going to switch roles. People with disabilities exist,and we need our co-workers to think broadly about accessibility and inclusion.Let's create an environment where we all feel like we belong. 4.What is wrong with the author? A.She can't tell faces apart. B.She can't see faces instantly. C.She lacks facial expressions. D.She always keeps a straight face. 5.What made the author decide to see professional help? A.Her wrong self-diagnosis. B.The rise in online interactions. C.A specialist's recommendation. D.The chance of a promotion 第2页/共8页 6.Which is mentioned as the author's way of handling face blindness? A.Sending others an e-mail ahead of time.B.Leaming the style people like to wear. C.Meeting more friends in regular places. D.Drawing co-workers'faces in a notebook. 7.What can we infer from paragraph 5? A.The author is bad at getting along with others. B.Science fiction is an inspiration for the author. C.The author loses a sense of belonging in some environments. D.Having face blindness makes the author stand out in public. Tristan Yates has no doubt about her first memory."I was about three and a half,"she recalls, "just running around with my twin sister trying to pick up Easter eggs."But she has zero memories before that,which is typical.Is that because we don't make memories when we're babies, or is there something else responsible?Now,a new research published by Yates and her colleagues in the journal Science suggests babies are able to form memories,even if they become inaccessible later in life. To shed light on the issue,one of the best ways is to look deep in the brain with an fMRI machine,which requires a person to remain still for an extended period of time,but babies don't understand instructions and have short attention spans.Therefore,the team had to adapt and come up with diverse tricks to keep them happy and engaged. Here's how this experiment went down.The babies viewed an image they have never seen before for two seconds,like a canyon or a dog toy.About a minute later,researchers showed them one image they had just seen alongside a different image from the same category.That could be the canyon,say,alongside a waterfall.If the baby remembered seeing the canyon earlier,the child would look longer at the canyon than at the waterfall.This procedure gave the researchers an indication as to which images the baby remembered,and which they forgot. Meanwhile,the fMRI was shooting pictures of the baby's brain,including its hippocampus(海马体)，a region important for memory.The scans revealed that starting at about12 months of age,the more activity there was in the baby's hippocampus when seeing an image for the first time,the more likely they were to remember that image later. "What we can conclude is that the hippocampus can encode()individual memories,even in human infants.It's evidence that a memory has formed in the baby's hippocampus."Says Yates. These results allow scientists to put the time stamp of our first memory a little bit earlier than when we thought possible. 8.How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A.By quoting an article. B.By defining a concept. C.By giving an example. D.By providing a finding. 9.What did researchers do to test babies'memory? 第3页/共8页 A.They asked babies to describe images. B.They scanned babies'brains during sleep. C.They presented toys to babies repeatedly. D.They compared babies'image-viewing time. 10.What does the research show? A.Babies prefer seeing new images. B.Active brains lead to good memory. C.Hippocampus functions after age 3. D.Memory loss occurs more over time. 11.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Mystery of Infant Memories B.Unlocking the Brain's Secrets. C.The Science of Early Childhood D.fMRI:A Window into Infant Mind D A new report from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism raises concerns about artificial intelligence(AD)in news production,as the rise of AI tools for news production,coupled with existing struggles to engage audiences,presents a fresh challenge for newsrooms worldwide. The report,based on a survey of nearly 100,000 people across 47 countries,highlights audience anxieties surrounding AI-generated news content and notes this is particularly true for sensitive topics like politics. News organizations are dealing with the rise of Generative Al,with tech giants like Google and startups developing tools that summarize information and potentially divert() traffic from news websites.However,the report reveals a public distrust of AI-generated news, raising questions about its viability and impact on profits. The report also looked at audience perceptions of AI-generated news.A significant part of respondents(调查对象)to the survey expressed discomfort with news primarily produced by AI.This feeling was particularly strong in the UK(63 percent)and the US(52 percent).The report finds that people were more accepting of AI being used behind the scenes to enhance journalistic efficiency. Nic Newman,lead author of the Digital News Report,said,"It was surprising to see the level of suspicion.People broadly had fears about what might happen to content reliability and trust." The survey also reveals a continuing worry about online misinformation.Concerns rose by 3 percent compared to the previous year,with 59 percent of respondents expressing worry.This anxiety was particularly conspicuous in countries like South Africa(81 percent)and the US(72 percent). The report also highlights the difficulties news organizations face in securing paying subscribers."The findings show that newsrooms need to build a direct relationship with their audiences while also strategically using the platforms to connect with people who arc trickier to reach,like younger audiences,"Newman said."We see that news influencers have a bigger role on the popular platforms." 第4页/共8页 12.How is newsrooms'current situation? A.Difficult. B.Distinctive. C.Promising. D.Competitive. 13.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A.Some disadvantages of AI editors. B.An analysis of the research results C.Possible application of AI in news. D.Respondents'attitude to AI in news. 14.What does the underlined word "conspicuous"in paragraph 6 mean? A.Doubtful. B.Similar. C.Obvious. D.Limited. 15.What does Nic Newman advise newsrooms to do? A.Employ famous influencers to spread news by Al. B.Encourage more younger people to make use of AI C.Distinguish accurately true news from disinformation. D.Take advantage of popular platforms to attract audiences. 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。 How do you feel about exams?16On the contrary,is it an experience you enjoy because it's your time to shine?Every year,many young people sit exams and whether they love or hate them,most of them will face some anxiety before the big day. If you're anxious about your exams,don't worry.You're not alone.17 When the pressure is on to pass that all-important test,take a deep breath and absorb some good advice from people who've been through the same experience as you. 18 Nutritional therapist Kerry Torrens recommends making breakfast the most important meal of the day.She recommends eating energy-giving oats and eggs.Some research even suggests students who take water into the exam hall may even improve their grades. One thing I know I always need is a good night's sleep to help me work and think better the next day.19 If you get good sleep your memory is better and that means you can retain the information you have revised. According to Lisa Artis from the Sleep Council,sitting on your bed when you're cramming is not a good idea because then you associate that place with stress.Revising for exams can also sometimes seem cruel,so it's good to take breaks and reward yourself with a small treat,like a cake or a quick run around the block.There comes a point when your brain can't absorb any more information.20 A.However,your brain is free of tiredness. B.Is it the one thing you are frightened of? C.Thus,you'll also need to know when to stop. D.Is it the only thing that you are really keen on? E.Eating the right food can feed your brain and keep you energetic. F.It might seem like a stressful time for everyone in the same situation. G.And that's what's recommended for anyone preparing for their exams. 第5页/共8页 第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I met Carla in the darkest days of life 15 years ago,when I was in a bad 21.I lost my mother and I was almost broke,living in an old house.A nearby pet hospital always kept some adoptable animals in the window.One day,a gorgeous black cat 22 in a small cage.23 in love,I took her home and gave her a name.

It’s a practical and engaging issue that affects all of us directly. This topic sparks strong opinions. Some argue that phones aid learning through online search and apps, while others believe they distract students. A debate would help us weigh these views fairly. Plus, it encourages critical thinking about technology’s role in education. I hope this suggestion is helpful. It’s a topic that everyone can relate to, ensuring lively discussions. Looking forward to your feedback! Yours, Li Hua Possible version 2: Dear Jenny, I’d like to suggest “Group or individual study?” as our debate topic. This is a meaningful choice that every student encounters in their learning process. Group study encourages collaboration and diverse perspectives, while individual study allows for personalized focus. Some students thrive in team discussions, whereas others prefer quietness and independence. Exploring both approaches would help us understand their respective strengths in different learning situations. I believe this topic will lead to a practical and insightful discussion. It could even help classmates improve their study habits. Hope you find this suggestion useful!

Which company provides various programs in In-person Camps? A. iD Tech. B. iCode School. C. Lavner Education. D. The Coder School. 2. What do we know about Online-Only AI programs? A. They target high school students. B. They are limited to 5 weeks at least. C. They require programming skills. D. They offer interactions with AI experts. 3. What is suggested for continuing AI exploration during the school year? A. Taking online courses. B. Visiting local companies. C. Participating in summer camps. D. Engaging in research projects. B Though I am a female scientist, I have face blindness. I can see faces, but the individual details, such as the distance between the eyes or the shape of the nose, are fuzzy. As a result, recognizing faces — something so instant and unconscious for most — is a major challenge, Over the years I developed my own ways of dealing with the problem. To distinguish people, I relied on cues — like the way a person walks and a habitual lunch spot. There were many embarrassing moments as I pursued my career. But overall, I was managing. Then, I often worked at home. As interactions moved online, suddenly everyone became a stranger. For my peace of mind, I needed to get to the bottom of why I see the world so differently from most people. Through a combination of luck and privilege, I connected with a specialist who gave me an official diagnosis (诊断). Even though I had already essentially diagnosed myself, it was a relief to have a professional put a formal name to it. More importantly, I realized I had to face reality. Now if I’m going to an event where I’m expected to know people, I send an e-mail explaining that if I ignore them, it won’t be intentional. I’ve found that people are less likely to be offended when they know beforehand. But sometimes I feel like something out of a science-fiction plot. A recent presentation titled You Don’t Belong Here was intended to show how some environments can be exclusionary (排斥的) and what can be done to address that. As the presenters alternated between acting out scenes and commenting on them, I left feeling exactly as the title said. It would have been a great help if they had explained at the beginning that they were going to switch roles. People with disabilities exist, and we need our co-workers to think broadly about accessibility and inclusion. Let’s create an environment where we all feel like we belong. 4. What is wrong with the author? A. She can’t tell faces apart. B. She can’t see faces instantly. C. She lacks facial expressions. D. She always keeps a straight face. 5. What made the author decide to see professional help? A. Her wrong self-diagnosis. B. The rise in online interactions. C. A specialist’s recommendation. D. The chance of a promotion. 6. Which is mentioned as the author’s way of handling face blindness? A. Sending others an e-mail ahead of time. B. Learning the style people like to wear. C. Meeting more friends in regular places. D. Drawing co-workers’ faces in a notebook. 7. What can we infer from paragraph 5? A. The author is bad at getting along with others. B. Science fiction is an inspiration for the author. C. The author loses a sense of belonging in some environments. D. Having face blindness makes the author stand out in public. C Tristan Yates has no doubt about her first memory. “I was about three and a half,” she recalls, “just running around with my twin sister trying to pick up Easter eggs.” But she has zero memories before that, which is typical. Is that because we don’t make memories when we’re babies, or is there something else responsible? Now, a new research published by Yates and her colleagues in the journal Science suggests babies are able to form memories, even if they become inaccessible later in life. To shed light on the issue, one of the best ways is to look deep in the brain with an fMRI machine, which requires a person to remain still for an extended period of time, but babies don’t understand instructions and have short attention spans. Therefore, the team had to adapt and come up with diverse tricks to keep them happy and engaged. Here’s how this experiment went down. The babies viewed an image they have never seen before for two seconds, like a canyon or a dog toy. About a minute later, researchers showed them one image they had just seen alongside a different image from the same category. That could be the canyon, say, alongside a waterfall. If the baby remembered seeing the canyon earlier, the child would look longer at the canyon than at the waterfall. This procedure gave the researchers an indication as to which images the baby remembered, and which they forgot. Meanwhile, the fMRI was shooting pictures of the baby’s brain, including its hippocampus (海马体), a region important for memory. The scans revealed that starting at about 12 months of age, the more activity there was in the baby’s hippocampus when seeing an image for the first time, the more likely they were to remember that image later. “What we can conclude is that the hippocampus can encode (编码) individual memories, even in human infants. It’s evidence that a memory has formed in the baby’s hippocampus.” Says Yates. These results allow scientists to put the time stamp of our first memory a little bit earlier than when we thought possible. 8. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A. By quoting an article. B. By defining a concept. C. By giving an example. D. By providing a finding. 9. What did researchers do to test babies’ memory? A. They asked babies to describe images. B. They scanned babies’ brains during sleep. C. They presented toys to babies repeatedly. D. They compared babies’ image-viewing time. 10. What does the research show? A. Babies prefer seeing new images. B. Active brains lead to good memory. C. Hippocampus functions after age 3. D. Memory loss occurs more over time. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Mystery of Infant Memories B. Unlocking the Brain’s Secrets. C. The Science of Early Childhood D. fMRI: A Window into Infant Mind D A new report from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism raises concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) in news production, as the rise of AI tools for news production, coupled with existing struggles to engage audiences, presents a fresh challenge for newsrooms worldwide. The report, based on a survey of nearly 100,000 people across 47 countries, highlights audience anxieties surrounding AI-generated news content and notes this is particularly true for sensitive topics like politics. News organizations are dealing with the rise of Generative AI, with tech giants like Google and startups developing tools that summarize information and potentially divert (转移) traffic from news websites. However, the report reveals a public distrust of AI-generated news, raising questions about its viability and impact on profits. The report also looked at audience perceptions of AI-generated news. A significant part of respondents (调查对象) to the survey expressed discomfort with news primarily produced by AI. This feeling was particularly strong in the UK (63 percent) and the US (52 percent). The report finds that people were more accepting of AI being used behind the scenes to enhance journalistic efficiency. Nic Newman, lead author of the Digital News Report, said, “It was surprising to see the level of suspicion. People broadly had fears about what might happen to content reliability and trust.” The survey also reveals a continuing worry about online misinformation. Concerns rose by 3 percent compared to the previous year, with 59 percent of respondents expressing worry. This anxiety was particularly conspicuous in countries like South Africa (81 percent) and the US (72 percent). The report also highlights the difficulties news organizations face in securing paying subscribers. “The findings show that newsrooms need to build a direct relationship with their audiences while also strategically using the platforms to connect with people who are trickier to reach, like younger audiences,” Newman said. “We see that news influencers have a bigger role on the popular platforms.” 12. How is newsrooms’ current situation? A. Difficult. B. Distinctive. C. Promising. D. Competitive. 13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Some disadvantages of AI editors. B. An analysis of the research results. C. Possible application of AI in news. D. Respondents’ attitude to AI in news. 14. What does the underlined word “conspicuous” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Doubtful. B. Similar. C. Obvious. D. Limited. 15. What does Nic Newman advise newsrooms to do? A. Employ famous influencers to spread news by AI. B. Encourage more younger people to make use of AI. C. Distinguish accurately true news from disinformation. D. Take advantage of popular platforms to attract audiences. 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。 How do you feel about exams? 16 On the contrary, is it an experience you enjoy because it’s your time to shine? Every year, many young people sit exams and whether they love or hate them, most of them will face some anxiety before the big day. If you’re anxious about your exams, don’t worry. You’re not alone. 17 When the pressure is on to pass that all-important test, take a deep breath and absorb some good advice from people who’ve been through the same experience as you. 18 Nutritional therapist Kerry Torrens recommends making breakfast the most important meal of the day. She recommends eating energy-giving oats and eggs. Some research even suggests students who take water into the exam hall may even improve their grades. One thing I know I always need is a good night’s sleep to help me work and think better the next day. 19 If you get good sleep your memory is better and that means you can retain the information you have revised. According to Lisa Artis from the Sleep Council, sitting on your bed when you’re cramming is not a good idea because then you associate that place with stress. Revising for exams can also sometimes seem cruel, so it’s good to take breaks and reward yourself with a small treat, like a cake or a quick run around the block. There comes a point when your brain can’t absorb any more information. 20 A. However, your brain is free of tiredness. B. Is it the one thing you are frightened of? C. Thus, you’ll also need to know when to stop. D. Is it the only thing that you are really keen on? E. Eating the right food can feed your brain and keep you energetic. F. It might seem like a stressful time for everyone in the same situation. G. And that’s what’s recommended for anyone preparing for their exams. 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I met Carla in the darkest days of life 15 years ago, when I was in a bad 21 .
