B 【解析】 【导语】这是蒙古国特日勒吉国家公园与成吉思汗雕像一日私人导游团，含酒店接送、景点参观、午餐。标注各景点时长、分年龄段票价，说明预订、取消规则，轮椅不可通行。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据What to Expect表格中的第一项“See the Statue of Chinggis Khan(参观成吉思汗雕像)”可知，游客将参观成吉思汗雕像。成吉思汗是著名的历史人物，因此游客可以向历史名人致敬。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Additional Info部分“Not wheelchair accessible(不支持轮椅通行)”可知，该行程不支持轮椅通行，即不提供残疾人照顾服务。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Price表格中的收费标准可知：一对年轻夫妇属于“15～59”岁年龄段，票价为每人105.00美元，两人为105.00×2 = 210.00美元；5岁的双胞胎属于“4～10”岁年龄段，票价为每人78.00美元，两人共计78.00×2=156.00美元，一家人的总费用为210.00+156.00 = $366.00美元。 B One day, my 11-year-old daughter told me that she wanted to return a pair of pants on Amazon. “You need to keep clicking the ‘something else’ button if you want to talk to a real person,” I told her. She followed my word, and after a bit of clicking, she managed to talk to a real person and get the pants returned. In the process, I had the chance to think about what this everyday interaction was teaching my daughter. I thought about what it meant to constantly ask for “something else”. It’s not only about having a real person to talk with. It’s equally about the quality of our communication. It’s about thinking something, then saying it, and then having another person think and say something back to you. It seems simple and yet it may become the exception, not the rule. In many cases, it already has. With the “quick responses” at the bottom of Gmail, potential responses often appear right in front of us. “Yes, sure.” “Of course!” or “I got it.” The responses, I’ve noticed, are mostly okay. Sometimes, they’re exactly what I want to say. Occasionally, they’re wildly wrong. At first, I told myself I wouldn’t use those pre-made responses. Soon enough, though, I got in a rush and found they were good. What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way? What if, instead of generating responses, we simply pointed and clicked? Choosing a response is a kind of thinking, but it’s far less accurate than the kind needed to generate content. It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response. Instead of starting with a blank board, we critique (评判) things. That’s not useless, but it doesn’t replace thinking in a generative way. If kids only critique something, they won’t have original thoughts. They may become great editors, but they’ll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways. There’s no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on automated talk. Yet, as we move forward, we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects. If we want to help our kids, the “something else” we searched for — authentic human conversation — should not be the exception, but the rule. 4. What contributes to high-quality communication according to paragraph 2? A. The clear goals. B. The exact expressions. C. The process of thinking. D. The immediate response. 5. How does the author feel about using the pre-made responses? A. Excited and eager to try them out. B. Annoyed and not interested in them. C. Disappointed by their inaccurate suggestions. D. Unwilling but finally aware of their convenience. 6. What would happen to kids with the automation of language? A. Their creativity will suffer. B. Their critical thinking ability will increase. C. Their editing skills will hardly improve. D. Their expressions will be more accurate and efficient. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. My Reflections on Automated Talk B. My Unforgettable Online Return Experience C. The Art of Guiding Children’s Creativity D. The Benefits of Using Automation in Communication 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者女儿对于自动对话的自身经历，表达了对于自动对话的一些看法和观点。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I thought about what it meant to constantly ask for “something else”. It’s not only about having a real person to talk with. It’s equally about the quality of our communication. It’s about thinking something, then saying it, and then having another person think and say something back to you.(我思考了不断要求“别的东西”意味着什么。这不仅仅是有一个真正的人可以交谈。这同样关系到我们沟通的质量。它是关于思考一些事情，然后说出来，然后让另一个人思考并回答你一些事情)”可知，思考的过程有助于高质量的沟通。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“At first, I told myself I wouldn’t use those pre-made responses. Soon enough, though, I got in a rush and found they were good.(一开始，我告诉自己不要用那些预先准备好的回答。但很快，我急切发现它们很不错)”可知，作者不愿意使用预先准备好的回答，但最终意识到它们的方便。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way? What if, instead of generating responses, we simply pointed and clicked? Choosing a response is a kind of thinking, but it’s far less accurate than the kind needed to generate content. It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response. Instead of starting with a blank board, we critique (评判) things. That’s not useless, but it doesn’t replace thinking in a generative way. If kids only critique something, they won’t have original thoughts. They may become great editors, but they’ll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways.(如果我们的语言在整体上被自动化了会发生什么？如果我们不是生成回应，而是指向和点击会怎样？选择回应是一种思考方式，但它的准确性远不如生成内容所需的思考方式。它更多地与识别“足够好”的回应有关。而不是从空白的画布开始，我们是在评价事物。这并非毫无用处，但它无法替代以创造性方式进行思考。如果孩子们只进行评价，他们就不会有原创的想法。他们可能会成为出色的编辑，但很可能无法以全新的方式创造想法)”可知，语言自动化的孩子创造力会受到影响。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“There’s no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on automated talk. Yet, as we move forward, we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects. If we want to help our kids, the “something else” we searched for — authentic human conversation — should not be the exception, but the rule.(没有简单的解决方案，当然也没有办法让自动对话时光倒流。然而，在我们前进的过程中，我们需要仔细考虑沟通方面的简单改变会产生怎样严重的影响。如果我们想帮助我们的孩子，我们寻找的“其他东西”——真实的人类对话——不应该是例外，而应该是规则)”结合文章通过作者女儿对于自动对话的自身经历，表达了对于自动对话的一些看法和观点。可知，A选项“我对自动对话的看法”最符合文章标题。故选A。 C Dejaview uses machine learning to analyze patterns and identify signs of upcoming crimes. It considers factors like time of day, location, past incident records, and other variables to assess the risk of something suspicious occurring. According to a report by TechXplore, the core technology operates in two key ways. First, there’s a time-based and space-based prediction model that evaluates elements such as whether a crime previously occurred in a remote area late at night. For instance, if a quiet, faraway location shares similar environmental factors with a past late-night crime, the system assesses a high risk of another incident. Authorities can then actively monitor those high-risk zones more closely through CCTV feeds to prevent incidents before they start and position response teams appropriately. In field tests working with local Seocho city data, this “predictive crime mapping” system demonstrated an accuracy of 82.8%. The second part of Dejaview is called “recidivism (累犯) prediction”. It zeros in on individuals considered “high risk” for repeating the same offenses. By tracking their movement patterns, the technology can analyze whether their deeds signal they might commit another crime soon. As for how Dejaview acquired its intelligence, the technology was trained on a massive dataset of over 32,000CCTV clips recording various incidents over the latest three years. The AI learned to recognize patterns from this data, and now applies that “knowledge” to live situations. Of course, the AI-powered crime prediction will surely cause debates, especially when it comes to tracking individuals. Therefore, South Korea limits Dejaview’s application to public safety infrastructure (基础设施) like airports, energy facilities, factories, and national event monitoring. Commercial use for specialized security agencies is expected by the end of 2025. South Korea isn’t alone in exploring this technology. Argentina has also established a new AI unit aimed at preventing, detecting, investigating, and accusing criminals using specialized algorithms (算法). Argentina’s approach goes a step further by analyzing data beyond CCTV, including social media and websites. 8. What can be inferred from the prediction model? A. It strengthens data accuracy. B. It favors targeted monitoring. C. It expands tracking coverage. D. It raises protection awareness. 9. What does the second part of Dejaview focus on? A. Behavioral clues and risks. B. Analyses of crime settings. C. Current reports of criminals. D. Motivations behind recidivists. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Tips for improving Dejaview. B. Report on Dejaview’s use. C. Chances of AI predicting crimes. D. Response to people’s concerns. 11. What makes Argentina’s AI model differ from South Korea’s? A. It has higher efficiency. B. It decreases labor costs. C. It has more data sources. D. It protects privacy better. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了韩国犯罪预测AI Dejaview的工作原理、应用限制，以及阿根廷同类技术的特点。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Authorities can then actively monitor those high-risk zones more closely through CCTV feeds (当局可通过监控画面更密切地主动监控这些高风险区域)”可知，该预测模型倾向于针对性监控。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The second part of Dejaview is called “recidivism (累犯) prediction”. It zeros in on individuals considered “high risk” for repeating the same offenses. By tracking their movement patterns, the technology can analyze whether their deeds signal they might commit another crime soon. (Dejaview的第二部分被称为“累犯预测”。它将目标锁定在那些被认为有重复同样犯罪行为“高风险”的人身上。通过追踪他们的行动模式，该技术可以分析他们的行为是否预示着他们可能很快会再次犯罪)”可知，Dejaview的第二部分聚焦于行为线索和风险。故选A项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“the AI-powered crime prediction will surely cause debates, especially when it comes to tracking individuals. Therefore, South Korea limits Dejaview’s application to public safety infrastructure (基础设施) (AI犯罪预测必然引发争议，尤其是在追踪个人的时候。因此，韩国将Dejaview的应用限制在公共安全基础设施)”可知，该段主要讲对公众担忧的回应。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Argentina’s approach goes a step further by analyzing data beyond CCTV, including social media and websites. (阿根廷的方法更进一步，除了监控数据，还分析社交媒体和网站等数据)”可知，阿根廷的AI模型拥有更多数据来源。故选C项。 D It’s Sunday evening, and you’re reviewing another week of progress on five different goals without truly moving the needle on any. You worked out twice, read 20 pages of that business book, spent quality time with family, and kept up with your meditation practice. You’re doing everything right according to the productivity experts. So why does meaningful change feel so difficult to achieve? The accepted wisdom tells us progress comes from small, consistent changes that compound over time. Consistency has its place. But there’s another dimension to transformation we rarely discuss: the catalytic (催化的) power of intense productivity bursts. It’s this more intense, temporary mode of obsession that is key. Productivity experts often advocate sustainable habits and warn against the dangers of going too hard. But neuroscience reveals something fascinating: Our brains respond strongly to intensity. Our brains are highly malleable; they change, sometimes in dramatic ways, to reflect new acquisition of skills and knowledge. Researchers studied London taxi drivers preparing for a test that involved memorizing 25,000 streets. When they examined the brains of these taxi drivers before and after this intensive study period, they discovered something remarkable: The posterior hippocampus, crucial for spatial navigation, physically enlarges. This finding points to a broader principle in human neuroscience: Transformation often requires crossing intensity levels that moderate effort simply can’t reach. At the level of the brain, intense learning looks very different than the slow, consistent gains we’re more familiar with. Research finds that during periods of intense focus, our brains exhibit transient hypofrontality. The prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层), largely responsible for self-monitoring, tends to quiet down, mirroring what is often seen in “flow states,” where the boundaries between self and task dissolve. Most of us live in maintenance mode. We do enough not to lose ground but rarely enough to truly advance. Maybe it’s time we stopped feeling guilty about our occasional obsessions and started seeing them for what they are: the catalysts that make our steady progress meaningful. 12. What does the scene presented in paragraph 1 indicate? A. Unrealistic goals can lead to failure. B. Constant failures may cause frustration. C. Multitasking can not enhance productivity. D. Sustained effort may not yield real progress. 13. What does the underlined word “malleable” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Repairable. B. Adaptable. C. Delicate. D. Analytical. 14. What happens during “transient hypofrontality”? A. You let down your guard. B. You exercise more self-regulation. C. You feel at one with the task. D. You experience a state of confusion. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Why Intense Focus Beats Steady Habits. B. The Key to Transformation: Consistency. C. How Changing Your Habits Leads to Growth. D. Maintenance Mode: A Common Productivity Trap. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了持续努力可能无法带来真正进步，强调了高强度专注相较于稳定习惯的优势。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s Sunday evening, and you’re reviewing another week of progress on five different goals without truly moving the needle on any. You worked out twice, read 20 pages of that business book, spent quality time with family, and kept up with your meditation practice. You’re doing everything right according to the productivity experts. So why does meaningful change feel so difficult to achieve.(现在是周日晚上，你正在回顾过去一周在五个不同目标上的进展，但没有一个真正取得进展。你锻炼了两次，读了20页商业书籍，与家人共度了美好时光，并坚持了冥想练习。根据生产力专家的说法，你做的每件事都是正确的。那么，为什么有意义的改变如此难以实现呢？)”可知，第一段描述的场景表明了尽管付出了持续的努力，但可能并未取得真正的进步。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“they change, sometimes in dramatic ways, to reflect new acquisition of skills and knowledge.(它们会发生变化，有时是戏剧性的变化，以反映新获得的技能和知识)”可知，大脑会发生变化以适应新技能和知识的获得，这表明大脑是可适应的，由此可知，malleable意为“可适应的”。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Research finds that during periods of intense focus, our brains exhibit transient hypofrontality. The prefrontal cortex, largely responsible for self-monitoring, tends to quiet down, mirroring what is often seen in “flow states,” where the boundaries between self and task dissolve.(研究发现，在高度专注的时期，我们的大脑会表现出短暂的前额叶功能低下。主要负责自我监控的前额叶皮层往往会安静下来，这与在“心流状态”中经常看到的情况相呼应，在心流状态中，自我和任务之间的界限消失了。)”可知，在“短暂前额叶功能低下”期间，前额叶皮层安静下来，自我和任务之间的界限消失，这表明你感觉与任务融为一体。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讨论了持续努力可能无法带来真正的进步，而高强度专注则具有催化作用，能够推动大脑发生显著变化，从而实现真正的转变。文章通过对比持续努力和高强度专注的效果，强调了高强度专注的优势，因此选项A“为什么高强度专注胜过稳定的习惯”最能概括文章的主旨，适合作为标题。故选A。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)b8 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。 It’s fair to say that many parents focus a lot of energy — and worry! — on protecting their small kids from risky situations. But this past weekend, reporter Ellen Barry published a piece about a growing movement in Britain: people are bringing risk into the playground experience. ____16____ It contrasts with sheltering kids with the less demanding facilities typical of playgrounds. As Barry puts it, including limited risk into our kids’ playtime may be taking a step toward healthier child development. He cites a sign posted outside the Princess Diana Playground in London’s Kensington Gardens. ____17____ They are intentionally provided, so that your kids can develop an appreciation of risk in a controlled play environment. ____18____ Communities in Australia, Canada, and Sweden are making similar changes to their playgrounds. They want kids to learn and grow by facing challenges they can handle, Barry reports. Controlled risk at play time — where, after all, the children are still under close supervision (监护) — would seem a good addition to the free-range child movement. In that initiative, it’s suggested that free-range kids take walks in nature or ride public transportation on their own. ____19____ Besides, considering child development from an evolutionary (进化的) view offers more backing. Our long journey through time and nature has made us who we are today, with behaviors, thoughts and bodies shaped. ____20____ Looking at this bigger picture helps us understand why people make such a choice. A. Kids learn best while playing. B. More exploration is expected. C. It says it’s okay for kids to take some risks. D. Limited-risk playgrounds begin to catch on. E. The idea is to help kids become tough and strong. F. Generally, they are encouraged to get outside and acquire independent skills. G. It is therefore important to let kids do things that match how they naturally grow. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. D 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，文章介绍了英国一项正在发展的运动——人们正在把风险代入游乐场体验的影响及人们对此的看法。 【16题详解】 前文“But this past weekend, reporter Ellen Barry published a piece about a growing movement in Britain: people are bringing risk into the playground experience.(但就在刚刚过去的这个周末，记者艾伦·巴里发表了一篇文章，内容是关于英国一项正在发展的运动：人们正在把风险带入游乐场体验)”及下文“It contrasts with sheltering kids with the less demanding facilities typical of playgrounds.(这与为孩子们提供不那么苛刻的设施的游乐场形成了对比)”可知，E选项“这个想法是为了帮助孩子们变得坚强。”表明前文这项运动的目的，且这项运动与下文提到的“为孩子们提供不那么苛刻的设施的游乐场”形成了对比。故选E。 【17题详解】 前文“He cites a sign posted outside the Princess Diana Playground in London’s Kensington Gardens.(他举了伦敦肯辛顿花园戴安娜王妃游乐场外的一个牌子为例)”可知，前文提到张贴在游乐园外的一个牌子，C选项“它说孩子们可以冒险。”具体说明了牌子上写的内容，it代指前文的sign。故选C。 【18题详解】 后文“Communities in Australia, Canada, and Sweden are making similar changes to their playgrounds.(澳大利亚、加拿大和瑞典的社区也在对他们的游乐场做出类似的改变)”表明其余地方的游乐场做出了相应的改变，D选项“有限风险的游乐场开始流行起来。”总结下文 ，符合语境。故选D。 【19题详解】 前文“In that initiative, it’s suggested that free-range kids take walks in nature or ride public transportation on their own.(在这项倡议中，建议自由放养的孩子自己在大自然中散步或乘坐公共交通工具)”表明这项倡议的内容，F选项“一般来说，他们被鼓励到外面去学习独立的技能。”为前文的建议的目的，符合语境。故选F。 【20题详解】 前文“Our long journey through time and nature has made us who we are today, with behaviors, thoughts and bodies shaped.(我们在时间和自然中的漫长旅程造就了今天的我们，塑造了我们的行为、思想和身体)”可知，成长带来了好处，G选项“因此，让孩子做符合他们自然成长方式的事情是很重要的。”为前一句的结果，同时点明本文主题。故选G。 第三部分 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’d never liked to cook. I found it a(n) ____21____ to come up with new ideas and focus on cutting vegetables and browning meat. It was not a means of showing I cared about others or expressing myself. It was just another ____22____ labor. About one year ago, however, I started thinking about my grandmother ____23____ those big meals for her grandchildren when my daughter was born.

There was no complaint or self-blame”可知，奶奶对自己做的简单饭菜没有负面情绪，不会感到尴尬。故选C。 【25题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我祖母的秘诀是感恩。A. consideration体贴；B. gratitude感恩，感激；C. commitment承诺；D. simplicity简单。根据后文“as I cooked, I said a silent thank-you”可知，作者受祖母影响，做饭时会默默感恩，由此可推断祖母的秘密在于感恩，故选B。 【26题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：从那以后，每当我做饭时，我都会默默感谢自己拥有所需要的食材、可以烹饪的厨房，以及我为之做饭的家人。A. picturing想象；B. classifying分类；C. possessing拥有；D. tasting品尝。根据后文“the food I needed”可知，此处指拥有自己需要的食物。故选C。 【27题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意同上。A. process加工，烹饪；B. colour颜色；C. heat热量；D. slice切片。根据上文“the kitchen to”可知，厨房是用来烹饪食物的地方，process在此处有“加工，烹饪”的含义，符合语境。故选A。 【28题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：为家人做饭与其说是一件苦差事，不如说是一种荣誉。A. exploration探索；B. talent才能；C. attempt尝试；D. honour荣誉。根据上文“It was not a means of showing I cared about others or expressing myself.”、“Cooking for a family is more of a(n)”和下文“than a chore”、“Curiously, after my attitude shifted”可知，作者转变了心态，认为为家人做饭是一种荣誉。故选D。 【29题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：奇怪的是，在我的态度转变后，我摆脱了压力和匆忙，在烹饪时间上犯的错误也减少了。A. thought of想起；B. shook off摆脱；C. turned down拒绝；D. looked to看向。根据后文“the stress and rush, and made fewer mistakes in my cooking times”可知，作者态度转变后，做饭状态变好了，压力和匆忙的感觉都没有了，即“摆脱”了这些负面状态。故选B。 【30题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我还发现，成为超级厨师的压力完全来自内心。A. risk风险；B. capability能力；C. potential潜力；D. pressure压力。根据前文“I ____ the stress and rush, and made fewer mistakes in my cooking times”和后文“to be a super cook was entirely internal”、“to be a super cook was entirely internal. My family didn’t want ____ surprising or even perfectly prepared food. They just didn’t want ____ food, and they wanted it immediately.”可知，作者的家人不想要不断变化的惊喜，甚至不想要完美准备的食物，这里是在说成为好厨师的“压力”来自内心。故选D。 【31题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：我的家人不想要不断变化的惊喜，甚至不想要完美准备的食物。A. constantly不断地；B. generally通常；C. roughly大概；D. absolutely绝对地。根据后文“surprising or even perfectly prepared food”可知，家人对食物要求不高，不需要“不断地”有惊喜。故选A。 【32题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他们只是不想要难吃的食物，而且他们想要马上吃到。A. awful糟糕的；B. luxurious奢侈的；C. daily日常的；D. rare稀有的。根据上文“My family didn’t want ____ surprising or even perfectly prepared food.

Last night I made turkey kielbasa, instant mashed potatoes, canned corns, and green beans. It was enthusiastically received and quickly”可知，作者成功做出了家人满意的食物，即“设法做到了”家人期望的事。故选C。 【34题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：它受到了热烈的欢迎，很快就被吃完了。A. comprehended理解；B. separated分离；C. assessed评估；D. consumed消耗，吃完。根据上文“It was enthusiastically received and quickly”可知，食物受欢迎，所以很快就被吃完了。故选D。 【35题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：虽然我没有烹饪技巧，但那顿有奶奶水准的饭菜将载入我的烹饪史册。A. materials材料；B. techniques技巧；C. opportunities机会；D. facilities设施。根据上文“Last night I made turkey kielbasa, instant mashed potatoes, canned corns, and green beans.”和“Though I was not armed with cooking”可知，作者并没有专业的烹饪技巧。故选B。 第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 10. 91 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。 The Taklimakan Desert, infamous as the “Sea of Death”, has now been fully encircled by the longest sand-blocking green ecological barrier, ____36____ length reaches an impressive 3, 046 kilometers, ____37____ (mark) the completion of over 40 years of efforts to contain the desert expansion within a safety zone.

He wanted to design an app that could identify different birds by their songs. Every afternoon after school, he sat at his desk wearing headphones, listening to one recording after another. Whenever the program confused one bird with another, he replayed the recording, adjusted the code, and tested it again. He was so buried in his digital world that when a real bird began to sing outside his open window one day, he found the sound distracting and simply shut the window. The project soon became part of Alex’s daily routine. He planned to present the app at the school science fair, so every new recording felt like another puzzle to solve. Some bird calls sounded almost identical, and the program often mixed them up. Instead of going outside, Alex searched online for more recordings and larger databases. The more data he collected, the more confident he became. Alex often shared his progress with his grandfather, a retired forest ranger (护林员) who had spent most of his life studying birds in the woods. Grandpa was pleased by the project but seemed more concerned about how Alex was learning. When Alex proudly mentioned his thousands of recordings, Grandpa asked whether he had ever listened to birds outside. Alex shook his head; online recordings were clearer and easier to analyze. Grandpa smiled and said, “Looking up isn’t the same as looking.” Alex didn’t quite understand. Two weeks before the science fair, Ms. Chen, the science teacher, asked Alex to test his app with recordings from a nearby nature reserve. Confident in his program, Alex expected good results. But it identified the wrong birds and became confused when two birds sang at the same time. The model worked almost perfectly with downloaded recordings but struggled with sounds from the real world. After class, Ms. Chen wrote on Alex’s report: A good model should begin with good observations. That evening, Alex told Grandpa about the comment. Grandpa looked at him and asked, “Would you like to find out what your recordings have been missing?” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Alex followed Grandpa into the woods where he had worked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two weeks later, Alex was ready for the science fair. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next morning, Alex followed Grandpa into the woods where he had worked. The forest was alive with sound, but not the kind Alex was used to. Grandpa whispered, “Close your eyes. Just listen.” Alex obeyed. At first, he heard only noise. Then he began to pick out different songs — a sharp whistle here, a soft trill there. Grandpa pointed to a small brown bird. “That’s a wren. Listen to how it repeats itself.” Alex recorded it, along with the setting, the time, and the bird’s behavior. For the first time, he felt a quiet sense of wonder at what his downloaded recordings had been missing: the life behind the sound. Two weeks later, Alex was ready for the science fair. His app now used real recordings from the woods. When judges tested it with live birds, it identified them correctly, even when two sang at once. Alex explained how observing birds in nature had taught him what no database could. He won second prize, and a surge of pride filled his chest. But more importantly, he understood Grandpa’s words: “Looking up isn’t the same as looking.” True understanding begins with paying attention to the real world around us. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Alex开发识别鸟鸣的APP为线索展开，讲述了Alex依靠网络录音完善程序，却无法处理真实野外鸟鸣。在爷爷引导下，他走进森林实地聆听鸟类，懂得真正的理解源于用心留意身边真实世界。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Alex跟随爷爷走入林间，在爷爷的指引下闭眼静心聆听，分辨出各类鸟鸣，同步记录环境、时间与鸟儿的行为，意识到网上下载的录音缺少声音背后鲜活的生机。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Alex带着改良后的APP参加科技展，作品成功识别现场鸟鸣，斩获二等奖。他领悟爷爷的话，明白真知来自对现实世界的用心关注。 2. 续写线索： 跟随爷爷进入森林→闭眼聆听鸟鸣→现场录音、记录环境与鸟类行为→领悟录音缺失的东西→科技展展示改良后的APP→程序成功识别鸟鸣→获奖，领悟观察现实世界的道理 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①低声说：whisper/murmur ②记录：record/note down/keep track of ③识别：identify/recognize/tell apart 情绪类 ①惊叹：a sense of wonder/a sense of awe/a feeling of amazement ②自豪：a surge of pride/a swell of pride/a burst of triumph 【点睛】【高分句型1】True understanding begins with paying attention to the real world around us.

B One day, my 11-year-old daughter told me that she wanted to return a pair of pants on Amazon. “You need to keep clicking the ‘something else’ button if you want to talk to a real person,” I told her. She followed my word, and after a bit of clicking, she managed to talk to a real person and get the pants returned. In the process, I had the chance to think about what this everyday interaction was teaching my daughter. I thought about what it meant to constantly ask for “something else”. It’s not only about having a real person to talk with. It’s equally about the quality of our communication. It’s about thinking something, then saying it, and then having another person think and say something back to you. It seems simple and yet it may become the exception, not the rule. In many cases, it already has. With the “quick responses” at the bottom of Gmail, potential responses often appear right in front of us. “Yes, sure.” “Of course!” or “I got it.” The responses, I’ve noticed, are mostly okay. Sometimes, they’re exactly what I want to say. Occasionally, they’re wildly wrong. At first, I told myself I wouldn’t use those pre-made responses. Soon enough, though, I got in a rush and found they were good. What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way? What if, instead of generating responses, we simply pointed and clicked? Choosing a response is a kind of thinking, but it’s far less accurate than the kind needed to generate content. It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response. Instead of starting with a blank board, we critique (评判) things. That’s not useless, but it doesn’t replace thinking in a generative way. If kids only critique something, they won’t have original thoughts. They may become great editors, but they’ll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways. There’s no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on automated talk. Yet, as we move forward, we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects. If we want to help our kids, the “something else” we searched for — authentic human conversation — should not be the exception, but the rule. 4. What contributes to high-quality communication according to paragraph 2? A. The clear goals. B. The exact expressions. C. The process of thinking. D. The immediate response. 5. How does the author feel about using the pre-made responses? A. Excited and eager to try them out. B. Annoyed and not interested in them. C. Disappointed by their inaccurate suggestions. D. Unwilling but finally aware of their convenience. 6. What would happen to kids with the automation of language? A. Their creativity will suffer. B. Their critical thinking ability will increase. C. Their editing skills will hardly improve. D. Their expressions will be more accurate and efficient. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. My Reflections on Automated Talk B. My Unforgettable Online Return Experience C. The Art of Guiding Children’s Creativity D. The Benefits of Using Automation in Communication C Dejaview uses machine learning to analyze patterns and identify signs of upcoming crimes. It considers factors like time of day, location, past incident records, and other variables to assess the risk of something suspicious occurring. According to a report by TechXplore, the core technology operates in two key ways. First, there’s a time-based and space-based prediction model that evaluates elements such as whether a crime previously occurred in a remote area late at night. For instance, if a quiet, faraway location shares similar environmental factors with a past late-night crime, the system assesses a high risk of another incident. Authorities can then actively monitor those high-risk zones more closely through CCTV feeds to prevent incidents before they start and position response teams appropriately. In field tests working with local Seocho city data, this “predictive crime mapping” system demonstrated an accuracy of 82.8%. The second part of Dejaview is called “recidivism (累犯) prediction”. It zeros in on individuals considered “high risk” for repeating the same offenses. By tracking their movement patterns, the technology can analyze whether their deeds signal they might commit another crime soon. As for how Dejaview acquired its intelligence, the technology was trained on a massive dataset of over 32,000CCTV clips recording various incidents over the latest three years. The AI learned to recognize patterns from this data, and now applies that “knowledge” to live situations. Of course, the AI-powered crime prediction will surely cause debates, especially when it comes to tracking individuals. Therefore, South Korea limits Dejaview’s application to public safety infrastructure (基础设施) like airports, energy facilities, factories, and national event monitoring. Commercial use for specialized security agencies is expected by the end of 2025. South Korea isn’t alone in exploring this technology. Argentina has also established a new AI unit aimed at preventing, detecting, investigating, and accusing criminals using specialized algorithms (算法). Argentina’s approach goes a step further by analyzing data beyond CCTV, including social media and websites. 8. What can be inferred from the prediction model? A. It strengthens data accuracy. B. It favors targeted monitoring. C. It expands tracking coverage. D. It raises protection awareness. 9. What does the second part of Dejaview focus on? A. Behavioral clues and risks. B. Analyses of crime settings. C. Current reports of criminals. D. Motivations behind recidivists. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Tips for improving Dejaview. B. Report on Dejaview’s use. C. Chances of AI predicting crimes. D. Response to people’s concerns. 11. What makes Argentina’s AI model differ from South Korea’s? A. It has higher efficiency. B. It decreases labor costs. C. It has more data sources. D. It protects privacy better. D It’s Sunday evening, and you’re reviewing another week of progress on five different goals without truly moving the needle on any. You worked out twice, read 20 pages of that business book, spent quality time with family, and kept up with your meditation practice. You’re doing everything right according to the productivity experts. So why does meaningful change feel so difficult to achieve? The accepted wisdom tells us progress comes from small, consistent changes that compound over time. Consistency has its place. But there’s another dimension to transformation we rarely discuss: the catalytic (催化的) power of intense productivity bursts. It’s this more intense, temporary mode of obsession that is key. Productivity experts often advocate sustainable habits and warn against the dangers of going too hard. But neuroscience reveals something fascinating: Our brains respond strongly to intensity. Our brains are highly malleable; they change, sometimes in dramatic ways, to reflect new acquisition of skills and knowledge. Researchers studied London taxi drivers preparing for a test that involved memorizing 25,000 streets. When they examined the brains of these taxi drivers before and after this intensive study period, they discovered something remarkable: The posterior hippocampus, crucial for spatial navigation, physically enlarges. This finding points to a broader principle in human neuroscience: Transformation often requires crossing intensity levels that moderate effort simply can’t reach. At the level of the brain, intense learning looks very different than the slow, consistent gains we’re more familiar with. Research finds that during periods of intense focus, our brains exhibit transient hypofrontality. The prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层), largely responsible for self-monitoring, tends to quiet down, mirroring what is often seen in “flow states,” where the boundaries between self and task dissolve. Most of us live in maintenance mode. We do enough not to lose ground but rarely enough to truly advance. Maybe it’s time we stopped feeling guilty about our occasional obsessions and started seeing them for what they are: the catalysts that make our steady progress meaningful. 12. What does the scene presented in paragraph 1 indicate? A. Unrealistic goals can lead to failure. B. Constant failures may cause frustration. C. Multitasking can not enhance productivity. D. Sustained effort may not yield real progress. 13. What does the underlined word “malleable” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Repairable. B. Adaptable. C. Delicate. D. Analytical. 14. What happens during “transient hypofrontality”? A. You let down your guard. B. You exercise more self-regulation. C. You feel at one with the task. D. You experience a state of confusion. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Why Intense Focus Beats Steady Habits. B. The Key to Transformation: Consistency. C. How Changing Your Habits Leads to Growth. D. Maintenance Mode: A Common Productivity Trap. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)b8 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。 It’s fair to say that many parents focus a lot of energy — and worry! — on protecting their small kids from risky situations. But this past weekend, reporter Ellen Barry published a piece about a growing movement in Britain: people are bringing risk into the playground experience. ____16____ It contrasts with sheltering kids with the less demanding facilities typical of playgrounds. As Barry puts it, including limited risk into our kids’ playtime may be taking a step toward healthier child development. He cites a sign posted outside the Princess Diana Playground in London’s Kensington Gardens. ____17____ They are intentionally provided, so that your kids can develop an appreciation of risk in a controlled play environment. ____18____ Communities in Australia, Canada, and Sweden are making similar changes to their playgrounds. They want kids to learn and grow by facing challenges they can handle, Barry reports. Controlled risk at play time — where, after all, the children are still under close supervision (监护) — would seem a good addition to the free-range child movement. In that initiative, it’s suggested that free-range kids take walks in nature or ride public transportation on their own. ____19____ Besides, considering child development from an evolutionary (进化的) view offers more backing. Our long journey through time and nature has made us who we are today, with behaviors, thoughts and bodies shaped. ____20____ Looking at this bigger picture helps us understand why people make such a choice. A. Kids learn best while playing. B. More exploration is expected. C. It says it’s okay for kids to take some risks. D. Limited-risk playgrounds begin to catch on. E. The idea is to help kids become tough and strong. F. Generally, they are encouraged to get outside and acquire independent skills. G. It is therefore important to let kids do things that match how they naturally grow. 第三部分 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’d never liked to cook.

He wanted to design an app that could identify different birds by their songs. Every afternoon after school, he sat at his desk wearing headphones, listening to one recording after another. Whenever the program confused one bird with another, he replayed the recording, adjusted the code, and tested it again. He was so buried in his digital world that when a real bird began to sing outside his open window one day, he found the sound distracting and simply shut the window. The project soon became part of Alex’s daily routine. He planned to present the app at the school science fair, so every new recording felt like another puzzle to solve. Some bird calls sounded almost identical, and the program often mixed them up. Instead of going outside, Alex searched online for more recordings and larger databases. The more data he collected, the more confident he became. Alex often shared his progress with his grandfather, a retired forest ranger (护林员) who had spent most of his life studying birds in the woods. Grandpa was pleased by the project but seemed more concerned about how Alex was learning. When Alex proudly mentioned his thousands of recordings, Grandpa asked whether he had ever listened to birds outside. Alex shook his head; online recordings were clearer and easier to analyze. Grandpa smiled and said, “Looking up isn’t the same as looking.” Alex didn’t quite understand. Two weeks before the science fair, Ms. Chen, the science teacher, asked Alex to test his app with recordings from a nearby nature reserve. Confident in his program, Alex expected good results. But it identified the wrong birds and became confused when two birds sang at the same time. The model worked almost perfectly with downloaded recordings but struggled with sounds from the real world. After class, Ms. Chen wrote on Alex’s report: A good model should begin with good observations. That evening, Alex told Grandpa about the comment. Grandpa looked at him and asked, “Would you like to find out what your recordings have been missing?” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Alex followed Grandpa into the woods where he had worked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two weeks later, Alex was ready for the science fair. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
