Price: £33.25(这部令人捧腹大笑的戏剧演出预定至2027年10月。票价：33.25英镑。)”可知，喜剧对应的剧目票价为£33.25，一对夫妻需要两张票，33.25×2=66.5英镑。 B It was thirty years ago. In my family we were two children, one employed adult, and Christmas was coming. My parents were managing, but only just, and they had started preparing us for a simpler Christmas. So they told me, their 5-year-old daughter, well in advance that Santa Claus had received so many letters that winter that he had run out of presents. Santa is generous, they explained, but Santa is not bottomless. Everybody knew, of course, that Santa did not actually manufacture (大量生产) the gifts. He bought them, like anyone else. For a 5-year-old, this was a disaster. But children often have an unnerving ability to solve problems before the adults around them notice. I went to my room, found old toys, and wrapped them carefully. One for my mother, one for my father, one for each of my grandparents, and some for myself and my brother. By the morning, I had become, in my own mind, the hero of Christmas. There would be presents under the tree. There would be the best part of Christmas, the opening. I had solved the first money problem of my life and brought joy to my family. The ending was happier than I expected. Santa, it turned out, had found gifts for the young family after all. The old toys were quietly returned to my bedroom. And yet, that Christmas has stayed with me my whole life. It is a memory about adapting to something a child has a hard time understanding. It is also a memory about something common, the kind of relative shortage and insecurity that exists in many families. That memory, and the dozens that followed, quietly built a way of thinking I never noticed I had. I came to believe that whether we had plenty of money or just about enough, we would manage, and our problems would be temporary. 4. Why did the author’s parents mention Santa Claus in advance? A. To encourage her to share presents. B. To explain their financial difficulties. C. To teach her how Santa Claus worked. D. To lower her expectations for Christmas. 5. What happened that Christmas? A. The author was praised for her thoughtful idea. B. The author prepared gifts for her family in secret. C. Santa put the author’s toys back where they were. D. The author’s plan to solve the money problem failed. 6. Which of the following best describes the author as a kid? A. Curious and patient. B. Honest and sensitive. C. Creative and generous. D. Reliable and determined. 7. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph? A. She prefers to depend on herself. B. She sees hardships as manageable. C. She finds it hard to adapt to changes. D. She underestimates the value of money. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者五岁时经历拮据圣诞节，自制礼物并从中获得人生感悟。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“My parents were managing, but only just, and they had started preparing us for a simpler Christmas.(我的父母勉强维持生计，他们已经开始让我们对一个简单的圣诞节做好心理准备。)”以及第二段中“So they told me, their 5‑year‑old daughter, well in advance that Santa Claus had received so many letters that winter that he had run out of presents.(于是他们提前告诉我这个五岁的女儿，那个冬天圣诞老人收到太多信件，礼物已经用完了。)”可知，父母提前借圣诞老人的说法降低孩子对圣诞节礼物的期待。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But children often have an unnerving ability to solve problems before the adults around them notice. I went to my room, found old toys, and wrapped them carefully. One for my mother, one for my father, one for each of my grandparents, and some for myself and my brother.(但孩子们常常拥有令人不安的能力，在周围成年人察觉之前就解决了问题。我走进房间，找出旧玩具，仔细包好。一份给妈妈，一份给爸爸，爷爷奶奶各一份，还有一些给我自己和弟弟。)”可知，作者秘密地为家人准备礼物。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“But children often have an unnerving ability to solve problems before the adults around them notice. I went to my room, found old toys, and wrapped them carefully.(但孩子们常常有一种惊人的能力，能在身边大人察觉之前解决问题。我走进房间，找出旧玩具，仔细包好。)”可知，小小年纪的作者想出用旧玩具充当礼物的办法，主动给家人准备礼物，体现出有创造力、大方的品质。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I came to believe that whether we had plenty of money or just about enough, we would manage, and our problems would be temporary.(我渐渐相信，无论我们钱多还是仅够糊口，我们总能应付过去，困难都是暂时的。)”可知，作者认为艰难的处境是可以应对的。 C It used to be easy to tell when a face was generated with AI. Whether it was an unnatural expression, impossibly smooth skin, or a noticeable third ear, early AI-generated fake human faces were simple to spot and easy to dismiss. That’s just not true anymore. Now, AI image generators can produce portraits so convincing that even careful observers struggle to distinguish fact from fiction. That’s why apps such as Zoom and Tinder allow their users to submit biometric identification to help prove a real person exists behind a profile picture. But a new study suggests you can train your brain to get better at spotting fakes. Past attempts to teach people to spot AI faces have focused on visual errors like strange ears. But those clues can disappear with a software update or by a different prompt (提示词). “The AI is getting too good,” said Amy Dawel, the lead author of the study. “And fraudsters (骗子) may avoid using pictures with obvious mistakes anyway. The result is an endless technological arms race humans are likely to lose.” Instead, the researchers taught the participants how to recognize broader patterns in how AI systems generate images. “Our training directs people’s attention to global qualities differing between AI and human faces,” Dawel said. Current AI image generators are trained on datasets composed of millions of images. When prompted to generate a face, they don’t copy, but compose one based on the mathematical patterns shared across the faces. Individually, none of these characteristics are strange. But together, the whole is plainer than the sum of its parts which can often be sensed. Compared with real faces, AI-generated faces tend to be more symmetrical (对称的), more balanced, and more attractive — while also being less expressive, less distinctive and significantly less memorable. The participants were trained to look for these six markers instead of obvious errors. “Even with short training sessions, the chance of spotting AI faces almost doubled,” says Tanya George, a trainer from Australian National University. “People need training to navigate increasingly complex online environments.” 8. Why do some apps require biometric identification? A. To replace AI image generators. B. To confirm online users’ identity. C. To limit the use of AI portrait tools. D. To improve the quality of online photos. 9. What does Amy Dawel think of the earlier ways to spot AI faces? A. They rely much on varied prompts. B. They help fraudsters avoid detection. C. They have fallen behind AI progress. D. They beat humans in tech competitions. 10. What were the participants told to focus on? A. Overall facial features. B. Massive image datasets. C. Tiny facial characteristics. D. Shared mathematical patterns. 11. What does Tanya George think of the training in the research? A. Effective. B. Complicated. C. Temporary. D. Thorough. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍AI生成人脸的识别难点、新训练方法及相关研究成果。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“That’s why apps such as Zoom and Tinder allow their users to submit biometric identification to help prove a real person exists behind a profile picture. (这就是为什么Zoom和Tinder等应用允许用户提交生物识别信息，以帮助证明个人资料照片背后存在一个真实的人。)”可知，一些应用要求生物识别是为了确认用户的身份。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Past attempts to teach people to spot AI faces have focused on visual errors like strange ears. But those clues can disappear with a software update or by a different prompt (提示词). “The AI is getting too good,” said Amy Dawel, the lead author of the study. “And fraudsters (骗子) may avoid using pictures with obvious mistakes anyway. The result is an endless technological arms race humans are likely to lose.” (过去，教人们识别AI人脸的方法主要集中在对视觉错误的判断上，比如奇怪的耳朵。但随着软件更新或提示词的改变，这些线索可能就会消失。“AI正变得过于强大，”该研究的主要作者Amy Dawel表示，“而且骗子无论如何都会避免使用有明显错误的图片。结果就是一场永无止境的技术军备竞赛，而人类很可能输掉这场竞赛。”)”可知，Amy Dawel认为早期识别AI人脸的方法已经落后于AI的发展。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Instead, the researchers taught the participants how to recognize broader patterns in how AI systems generate images. “Our training directs people’s attention to global qualities differing between AI and human faces,” Dawel said. (相反，研究人员教参与者如何识别AI系统生成图像时更广泛的模式。Dawel说：“我们的训练引导人们关注AI与人脸之间不同的整体特征。”)”及最后一段中“The participants were trained to look for these six markers instead of obvious errors. (参与者接受训练，要去识别这六项特征，而非那些明显的破绽。)”可知，参与者被要求关注整体面部特征。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Even with short training sessions, the chance of spotting AI faces almost doubled,” says Tanya George, a trainer from Australian National University. “People need training to navigate increasingly complex online environments.” (“即使经过短时间的训练，识别AI人脸的概率也几乎翻了一倍，”澳大利亚国立大学的培训师Tanya George表示。“人们需要接受训练，以便在日益复杂的网络环境中应对自如。”)”可知，短期训练就能让识别概率翻倍，Tanya George认为这项训练是有效的。 D The caption reads: You live alone and have no friends, so this is how you spend your Friday night. In the video, a woman enters a neat apartment, pours a glass of wine, and relaxes on the sofa, looking peaceful and content. This type of content is created by so-called “loneliness influencers,” who present solitude (独处) as comfort and freedom rather than something to avoid. While being able to enjoy your own company is psychologically healthy, romanticizing friendlessness, isolation (孤独), and loneliness can be problematic. A recent article in The Atlantic provides a glimpse into how these individuals view their peaceful lives, with hashtags like #cozyathome and #alonenotlonely. But there is a catch: social media only captures brief moments, and interpreting isolation as aesthetics (美学) can dilute the significance of belonging and community. Research suggests loneliness is at epidemic levels, with 38% of U. S. adults reporting moderate-to-severe loneliness in 2022. The Surgeon General’s 2023 report concluded that loneliness and social isolation increase the risk for early death, stroke, depression and dementia. Based on the potential negative outcomes, it seems to be anything but romantic or “trendy”. According to Abraham Maslow’s “Hierarchy of Needs,” love and belonging come immediately after physiological needs and safety needs. Maslow’s theory of human needs dates back to 1943 and has been widely accepted in the psychology field since. To be fair, there have certainly been positive mental health and self-care messages that influencers have helped bring to the mainstream, but sometimes their content unintentionally promotes unhealthy concepts and ideas. We need to look no further than the classic and current research to see that a promotion of loneliness and isolation comes with significant risks, which casts doubt on the beautified portrayal on social media. Our current culture of influencers brings to mind an ancient Latin phrase: caveat emptor, or “let the buyer be cautious.” It is on us as the consumer to determine the quality of a product before purchasing it. Over time, this has become applicable to social media. 12. What does the underlined word “dilute” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Reveal. B. Evaluate. C. Highlight. D. Cheapen. 13. What does the author stress by referring to the “Hierarchy of Needs”? A. The impacts of isolation. B. The significance of psychology. C. The differences of human needs. D. The necessity of social connection. 14. Why does the author mention the Latin phrase? A. To offer a solution. B. To sound a warning. C. To clarify a theory. D. To promote a product. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Rise of Influencer Culture B. The Trend of Enjoying Living Alone C. Hidden Risks of Loneliness Aesthetics D. Health Problems Caused by Social Media 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述社交媒体网红美化独处、渲染孤独美学，作者结合研究与马斯洛需求理论指出其潜藏风险，提醒社交媒体使用者理性辨别相关内容。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“But there is a catch: social media only captures brief moments, and interpreting isolation as aesthetics (美学) can dilute the significance of belonging and community. (但问题在于：社交媒体只捕捉短暂瞬间，把孤独解读为美学，会____归属感与社群的重要意义。)”可知，将孤独包装成美学，会贬低、弱化归属感的价值。所以dilute和Cheapen同义，表示“贬低，降低……价值”。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“According to Abraham Maslow’s “Hierarchy of Needs,” love and belonging come immediately after physiological needs and safety needs. (根据亚伯拉罕・马斯洛的需求层次理论，爱与归属感紧随生理需求和安全需求之后。)”可知，作者引用该理论意在说明爱与归属感是人的基本需求，强调社交联系的必要性。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Our current culture of influencers brings to mind an ancient Latin phrase: caveat emptor, or “let the buyer be cautious.” It is on us as the consumer to determine the quality of a product before purchasing it. (当下网红文化让人想起一句古老拉丁语：买者自负，即“购买者需谨慎”。作为消费者，我们有责任在购买前判断产品的质量。)”可知，作者借用拉丁语，提醒社交媒体使用者谨慎看待网红内容，起到警示作用。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“While being able to enjoy your own company is psychologically healthy, romanticizing friendlessness, isolation (孤独), and loneliness can be problematic. (虽然能够享受独处在心理上是健康的，但是将没有朋友、与世隔绝以及孤独浪漫化是会产生问题的。)”以及全文论述可知，文章主要探讨社交媒体上孤独美学背后潜藏的风险。C选项“孤独美学背后隐藏的风险”最适合作为标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 In our culture, popcorn and movies just go together. The association is so strong, in fact, that people joke about wanting to get some popcorn to snack on whenever there’s an entertaining show to watch. ____16____ You might be surprised to learn something about popcorn and early cinemas. The steam-powered popcorn maker was invented in the late 1800s. Soon popcorn grew popular at fairs, circuses and outdoor sports events. ____17____ According to the Smithsonian, theater owners had many worries. They feared loose popcorn bits would ruin carpets and soft seat coverings. Besides, loud chewing sounds would disturb viewers. ____18____ Any eating noise would easily pull people’s attention away from the screen. Two factors led to popcorn’s takeover as movie-goers’ snack of choice. One was the introduction of films with sound in 1927. It increased the mass appeal of movies and also lessened concerns about distracting background noises. The second was the start of the Great Depression (大萧条). ____19____ Popcorn was a good choice because it was cheap and could be stored for a long time. Theaters that sold popcorn not only weathered the storm of the Depression, but saw their profits increase, while theaters refusing to do that struggled. World War II strengthened the association between movies and popcorn that the Depression started. ____20____ However, popcorn remained easy to get and just as tasty as ever. By the end of the 1940s, the idea of watching a movie was closely linked with eating popcorn in people’s imagination. Today, even if you’re having a movie night at home instead of going to a theater, you might find that the experience just doesn’t feel right without popcorn. A. Back then, all movies were silent. B. Can popcorn truly enhance a movie night? C. People would pass popcorn around and share it. D. However, it was nowhere to be found in movie theaters. E. Shortages of sugar made many sweet snacks unavailable. F. Many theaters tried to make some profits by selling snacks. G. But how did the link between popcorn and movies come to be? 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. A 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述爆米花与电影紧密关联，介绍它起初不受影院欢迎，历经无声电影、大萧条、二战，最终成为经典观影零食的发展历程。 【16题详解】 由上文“In our culture, popcorn and movies just go together. The association is so strong, in fact, that people joke about wanting to get some popcorn to snack on whenever there’s an entertaining show to watch. (在我们的文化里，爆米花和电影总是绑定在一起。这种关联如此牢固，事实上，人们甚至开玩笑说只要有好看的节目要看，就想去买些爆米花当零食。)”及下文“You might be surprised to learn something about popcorn and early cinemas. (你可能会惊讶地了解到关于爆米花和早期电影院的一些冷知识。)”可知，上文点明了爆米花和电影的强关联，下文转而介绍二者在早期影院的发展历史，本空需要引出对这种关联起源的疑问。G选项“但爆米花和电影之间的这种联系究竟是如何形成的呢？”能承上启下，符合语境。 【17题详解】 由上文“The steam-powered popcorn maker was invented in the late 1800s. Soon popcorn grew popular at fairs, circuses and outdoor sports events. (蒸汽动力爆米花机发明于19世纪末，很快爆米花就在集市、马戏团和户外体育赛事中流行起来。)”及下文“According to the Smithsonian, theater owners had many worries. They feared loose popcorn bits would ruin carpets and soft seat coverings. (根据史密森尼学会的资料，影院老板们有很多顾虑，他们担心散落的爆米花渣会损坏地毯和软质座椅套。)”可知，上文讲爆米花在各类户外场合走红，下文转而说明早期影院对爆米花的排斥态度，本空需要形成语义转折，点明爆米花当时并未进入影院。D选项“然而，在电影院里根本找不到它的身影。”能承上启下，符合语境。 【18题详解】 由上文“Besides, loud chewing sounds would disturb viewers. (除此之外，响亮的咀嚼声会打扰到其他观众。)”及下文“Any eating noise would easily pull people’s attention away from the screen. (任何进食的噪音都很容易把观众的注意力从屏幕上移开。)”可知，上下文都在强调早期影院排斥爆米花的核心原因——进食噪音会干扰观影，本空需要补充当时影院的观影环境背景，解释噪音为何会造成严重影响。A选项“在那个时期，所有的电影都是无声的。”能承上启下，符合语境。 【19题详解】 由上文“The second was the start of the Great Depression (大萧条). (第二个因素是大萧条的开启。)”及下文“Popcorn was a good choice because it was cheap and could be stored for a long time. (爆米花是绝佳选择，因为它价格低廉且可以长期储存。)”可知，上文点明大萧条是推动爆米花普及的关键节点，下文说明爆米花的优势，本空需要补充大萧条时期影院的经营选择背景。F选项“许多影院试图通过售卖零食来获取利润。”能承上启下，符合语境。 【20题详解】 由上文“World War II strengthened the association between movies and popcorn that the Depression started. (二战进一步强化了大萧条时期就开始形成的电影与爆米花的关联。)”及下文“However, popcorn remained easy to get and just as tasty as ever. (然而，爆米花依然容易买到，口感也一如既往地好。)”可知，上文陈述电影与爆米花的关联加强，下文描述爆米花依然容易买到，本空需要说明二战时期多数零食面临的供应困境，反衬爆米花的优势。E选项“糖的短缺让很多甜味零食都买不到了。”能承上启下，符合语境。 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：完形填空（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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I’ve grown used to the pause.

When it comes to traveling, I firmly believe it is necessary to make thorough travel plans before setting off. To begin with, detailed preparations ensure our safety. We can look up local weather, transport and dangerous areas ahead of time to stay away from risks. Besides, learning about local traditions helps us behave politely and avoid cultural misunderstandings. Moreover, planning budgets and attractions saves plenty of time and money. Without detailed plans, we may waste hours finding hotels or getting tickets. All in all, proper pre-trip research brings us a safer, smoother and more rewarding journey. 例文② Should We Make Detailed Travel Plans Before Trips? When it comes to traveling, I think there is no need to make thorough travel plans before travelling. For one thing, over-detailed schedules take away the joy of surprise. If every hour is arranged, we will miss unexpected beautiful scenery or warm encounters with locals. For another, tight plans bring huge pressure. Travelling is meant to relax ourselves, not rush from one spot to another according to a rigid timetable. Too many detailed plans limit our freedom. We can wander freely, adjust our route anytime and feel the real charm of travelling. In short, light preparation leaves room for wonderful random experiences. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生就英文播客TeenTalk的征稿写一篇短文，谈论旅行前是否应当提前做好详尽攻略，表明个人观点并阐述相应理由。 【详解】例文① 1.词汇积累 出发：set off → depart 确保：ensure → guarantee 地区：area → district 有益的：rewarding → beneficial 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：Besides, learning about local traditions helps us behave politely and avoid cultural misunderstandings. 拓展句：Not only can learning about local traditions help us behave politely, but it also enables us to avoid cultural misunderstandings. 【点睛】【高分句型1】When it comes to traveling, I firmly believe it is necessary to make thorough travel plans before setting off.(运用了省略that的宾语从句和动名词短语setting off作宾语) 【高分句型2】We can look up local weather, transport and dangerous areas ahead of time to stay away from risks.(运用了不定式作目的状语) 第二节：读后续写（满分25分） 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。 I was an arrogant (傲慢的) high school boy full of blind self-confidence, firmly believing that I was more capable than all my classmates at managing group tasks. When our teacher formally announced that our school would hold a lively campus charity fair to raise money for poor children in remote villages, I volunteered without hesitation to take charge of the second-hand book stall. I also actively persuaded nearly ten warm-hearted classmates to donate their unused books to support my booth. My thoughtful classmate Lina had kindly reminded me in advance to classify different kinds of books, mark clear and reasonable prices, and design simple promotional posters to attract visitors. However, I rudely turned down her sincere advice and even laughed openly at her for being overly cautious. I gathered large piles of various books, including interesting storybooks, popular magazines and practical exam reference books. Without any careful arrangement, I stuffed these mixed books randomly into several rough cardboard boxes. On the official day of the charity fair, while other groups devoted plenty of time and energy to decorating their stalls with colorful ribbons and beautiful handwritten signs, I did almost no preparation at all. I just laid all my books in a total mess on the table and wandered around the campus casually, firmly convinced that high-quality books alone would naturally draw a large number of buyers. As noon slowly rolled around, all the neighboring stalls were packed with busy and energetic students. In sharp contrast, almost no one stopped or spared a glance at my book booth. Worse still, several reference books accidentally slipped off the table and got badly stained by the fruit juice spilled by passing students. Standing alone beside my cold booth, I watched Lina’s handmade toy stall become extremely popular and listened to their cheerful and merry laughter. Strong regret and great embarrassment wrapped me tightly. I fully realized that my stupid arrogance and laziness had wasted my classmates’ kind donations. Just as I sank into deep self-blame and despair, Lina finished her temporary work and walked straight towards me. 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。 Seeing my depression, Lina didn’t mention my previous rudeness but proposed a plan. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the charity fair drew to an end, our book stall unexpectedly topped the donation list. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One Possible Version Seeing my depression, Lina didn’t mention my previous rudeness but proposed a plan. Eager to make amends, I nodded gratefully and we set it in motion. Our forces joined, we split the messy pile into three categories: fairy tales, novels, and review materials. Lina set about creating eye-catching price tags with colorful pens, whereas I humbly borrowed long, elegant ribbons to decorate our table. Knowing students hunted for cheap books, we wiped the juice-stained copies clean and shouted warm promotions. Gradually, as a steady stream of curious buyers gathered, my face flushed with profound guilt for mocking her careful suggestions before. When the charity fair drew to an end, our book stall unexpectedly topped the donation list. To our immense thrill, the collected cash far exceeded our expectations. The heavy donation box in my hands, I turned to Lina with red-rimmed eyes. Not only did I formally apologize for my unbearable arrogance, but I also thanked her for saving the day. She accepted it softly, a forgiving smile washing away my lingering guilt. Ultimately, this unforgettable experience engraved a priceless truth in my mind: true success is rooted in collaboration rather than blind pride. From then on, I swallowed my ego, always ready to embrace others’ valuable advice. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了一个傲慢的高中男生在负责校园慈善义卖二手书摊时，因盲目自信、拒绝同学建议而导致书摊无人问津，后在同学Lina的帮助下重新整理并大获成功，从而领悟到合作与谦逊重要性的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写Lina主动提出帮助计划，作者感激地接受，两人合作整理书籍、制作标签、装饰摊位并热情推销，书摊逐渐吸引顾客，作者内心充满愧疚。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写义卖结束时书摊捐款额意外位居榜首，作者向Lina真诚道歉并感谢她的宽容，这次经历让作者深刻认识到真正的成功源于合作而非盲目的骄傲，从此学会接纳他人建议。 2. 续写线索：陷入沮丧——Lina主动帮助——合作整理与推销——书摊大获成功——真诚道歉与感谢——领悟合作真谛 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①寻找：hunt for/seek for ②道歉：apologize/make an apology 情绪类 ①愧疚：guilt/remorse ②宽容的：forgiving/tolerant 【点睛】【高分句型1】Gradually, as a steady stream of curious buyers gathered, my face flushed with profound guilt for mocking her careful suggestions before.

In my family we were two children, one employed adult, and Christmas was coming. My parents were managing, but only just, and they had started preparing us for a simpler Christmas. So they told me, their 5-year-old daughter, well in advance that Santa Claus had received so many letters that winter that he had run out of presents. Santa is generous, they explained, but Santa is not bottomless. Everybody knew, of course, that Santa did not actually manufacture (大量生产) the gifts. He bought them, like anyone else. For a 5-year-old, this was a disaster. But children often have an unnerving ability to solve problems before the adults around them notice. I went to my room, found old toys, and wrapped them carefully. One for my mother, one for my father, one for each of my grandparents, and some for myself and my brother. By the morning, I had become, in my own mind, the hero of Christmas. There would be presents under the tree. There would be the best part of Christmas, the opening. I had solved the first money problem of my life and brought joy to my family. The ending was happier than I expected. Santa, it turned out, had found gifts for the young family after all. The old toys were quietly returned to my bedroom. And yet, that Christmas has stayed with me my whole life. It is a memory about adapting to something a child has a hard time understanding. It is also a memory about something common, the kind of relative shortage and insecurity that exists in many families. That memory, and the dozens that followed, quietly built a way of thinking I never noticed I had. I came to believe that whether we had plenty of money or just about enough, we would manage, and our problems would be temporary. 4. Why did the author’s parents mention Santa Claus in advance? A. To encourage her to share presents. B. To explain their financial difficulties. C. To teach her how Santa Claus worked. D. To lower her expectations for Christmas. 5. What happened that Christmas? A. The author was praised for her thoughtful idea. B. The author prepared gifts for her family in secret. C. Santa put the author’s toys back where they were. D. The author’s plan to solve the money problem failed. 6. Which of the following best describes the author as a kid? A. Curious and patient. B. Honest and sensitive. C. Creative and generous. D. Reliable and determined. 7. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph? A. She prefers to depend on herself. B. She sees hardships as manageable. C. She finds it hard to adapt to changes. D. She underestimates the value of money. C It used to be easy to tell when a face was generated with AI. Whether it was an unnatural expression, impossibly smooth skin, or a noticeable third ear, early AI-generated fake human faces were simple to spot and easy to dismiss. That’s just not true anymore. Now, AI image generators can produce portraits so convincing that even careful observers struggle to distinguish fact from fiction. That’s why apps such as Zoom and Tinder allow their users to submit biometric identification to help prove a real person exists behind a profile picture. But a new study suggests you can train your brain to get better at spotting fakes. Past attempts to teach people to spot AI faces have focused on visual errors like strange ears. But those clues can disappear with a software update or by a different prompt (提示词). “The AI is getting too good,” said Amy Dawel, the lead author of the study. “And fraudsters (骗子) may avoid using pictures with obvious mistakes anyway. The result is an endless technological arms race humans are likely to lose.” Instead, the researchers taught the participants how to recognize broader patterns in how AI systems generate images. “Our training directs people’s attention to global qualities differing between AI and human faces,” Dawel said. Current AI image generators are trained on datasets composed of millions of images. When prompted to generate a face, they don’t copy, but compose one based on the mathematical patterns shared across the faces. Individually, none of these characteristics are strange. But together, the whole is plainer than the sum of its parts which can often be sensed. Compared with real faces, AI-generated faces tend to be more symmetrical (对称的), more balanced, and more attractive — while also being less expressive, less distinctive and significantly less memorable. The participants were trained to look for these six markers instead of obvious errors. “Even with short training sessions, the chance of spotting AI faces almost doubled,” says Tanya George, a trainer from Australian National University. “People need training to navigate increasingly complex online environments.” 8. Why do some apps require biometric identification? A. To replace AI image generators. B. To confirm online users’ identity. C. To limit the use of AI portrait tools. D. To improve the quality of online photos. 9. What does Amy Dawel think of the earlier ways to spot AI faces? A. They rely much on varied prompts. B. They help fraudsters avoid detection. C. They have fallen behind AI progress. D. They beat humans in tech competitions. 10. What were the participants told to focus on? A. Overall facial features. B. Massive image datasets. C. Tiny facial characteristics. D. Shared mathematical patterns. 11. What does Tanya George think of the training in the research? A. Effective. B. Complicated. C. Temporary. D. Thorough. D The caption reads: You live alone and have no friends, so this is how you spend your Friday night. In the video, a woman enters a neat apartment, pours a glass of wine, and relaxes on the sofa, looking peaceful and content. This type of content is created by so-called “loneliness influencers,” who present solitude (独处) as comfort and freedom rather than something to avoid. While being able to enjoy your own company is psychologically healthy, romanticizing friendlessness, isolation (孤独), and loneliness can be problematic. A recent article in The Atlantic provides a glimpse into how these individuals view their peaceful lives, with hashtags like #cozyathome and #alonenotlonely. But there is a catch: social media only captures brief moments, and interpreting isolation as aesthetics (美学) can dilute the significance of belonging and community. Research suggests loneliness is at epidemic levels, with 38% of U. S. adults reporting moderate-to-severe loneliness in 2022. The Surgeon General’s 2023 report concluded that loneliness and social isolation increase the risk for early death, stroke, depression and dementia. Based on the potential negative outcomes, it seems to be anything but romantic or “trendy”. According to Abraham Maslow’s “Hierarchy of Needs,” love and belonging come immediately after physiological needs and safety needs. Maslow’s theory of human needs dates back to 1943 and has been widely accepted in the psychology field since. To be fair, there have certainly been positive mental health and self-care messages that influencers have helped bring to the mainstream, but sometimes their content unintentionally promotes unhealthy concepts and ideas. We need to look no further than the classic and current research to see that a promotion of loneliness and isolation comes with significant risks, which casts doubt on the beautified portrayal on social media. Our current culture of influencers brings to mind an ancient Latin phrase: caveat emptor, or “let the buyer be cautious.” It is on us as the consumer to determine the quality of a product before purchasing it. Over time, this has become applicable to social media. 12. What does the underlined word “dilute” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Reveal. B. Evaluate. C. Highlight. D. Cheapen. 13. What does the author stress by referring to the “Hierarchy of Needs”? A. The impacts of isolation. B. The significance of psychology. C. The differences of human needs. D. The necessity of social connection. 14. Why does the author mention the Latin phrase? A. To offer a solution. B. To sound a warning. C. To clarify a theory. D. To promote a product. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Rise of Influencer Culture B. The Trend of Enjoying Living Alone C. Hidden Risks of Loneliness Aesthetics D. Health Problems Caused by Social Media 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 In our culture, popcorn and movies just go together. The association is so strong, in fact, that people joke about wanting to get some popcorn to snack on whenever there’s an entertaining show to watch. ____16____ You might be surprised to learn something about popcorn and early cinemas. The steam-powered popcorn maker was invented in the late 1800s. Soon popcorn grew popular at fairs, circuses and outdoor sports events. ____17____ According to the Smithsonian, theater owners had many worries. They feared loose popcorn bits would ruin carpets and soft seat coverings. Besides, loud chewing sounds would disturb viewers. ____18____ Any eating noise would easily pull people’s attention away from the screen. Two factors led to popcorn’s takeover as movie-goers’ snack of choice. One was the introduction of films with sound in 1927. It increased the mass appeal of movies and also lessened concerns about distracting background noises.

When our teacher formally announced that our school would hold a lively campus charity fair to raise money for poor children in remote villages, I volunteered without hesitation to take charge of the second-hand book stall. I also actively persuaded nearly ten warm-hearted classmates to donate their unused books to support my booth. My thoughtful classmate Lina had kindly reminded me in advance to classify different kinds of books, mark clear and reasonable prices, and design simple promotional posters to attract visitors. However, I rudely turned down her sincere advice and even laughed openly at her for being overly cautious. I gathered large piles of various books, including interesting storybooks, popular magazines and practical exam reference books. Without any careful arrangement, I stuffed these mixed books randomly into several rough cardboard boxes. On the official day of the charity fair, while other groups devoted plenty of time and energy to decorating their stalls with colorful ribbons and beautiful handwritten signs, I did almost no preparation at all. I just laid all my books in a total mess on the table and wandered around the campus casually, firmly convinced that high-quality books alone would naturally draw a large number of buyers. As noon slowly rolled around, all the neighboring stalls were packed with busy and energetic students. In sharp contrast, almost no one stopped or spared a glance at my book booth. Worse still, several reference books accidentally slipped off the table and got badly stained by the fruit juice spilled by passing students. Standing alone beside my cold booth, I watched Lina’s handmade toy stall become extremely popular and listened to their cheerful and merry laughter. Strong regret and great embarrassment wrapped me tightly. I fully realized that my stupid arrogance and laziness had wasted my classmates’ kind donations. Just as I sank into deep self-blame and despair, Lina finished her temporary work and walked straight towards me. 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。 Seeing my depression, Lina didn’t mention my previous rudeness but proposed a plan. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the charity fair drew to an end, our book stall unexpectedly topped the donation list. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
