Adam, a high school freshman who excels at sports. D. Mary, a 16-year-old American girl who loves writing. B Isabella Ducrot, an Italian artist born in 1931, is becoming internationally famous for her art only recently, even though she didn’t start creating it until she was in her fifties. Ducrot creates her art by standing and sweeping loose stroke of ink or paint onto paper or fabric (布料), sometimes using a brush attached to a stick. She often adds pieces of other papers or fabrics to create pictures. Her works, typically made in series, feature simple landscapes, and repeating patterns like ovals (椭圆) and squares. Full of life, color, and a sense of freedom, her art feels so fresh and energetic that a museum in France has called her, in a surprising way, “a young artist with a young career.” Ducrot’s art is deeply rooted in her life experiences. For years, she and her late husband ran a luxury travel business, journeying from India to Afghanistan and gathering a unique collection of textiles (纺织品). These experiences and materials now provide both the physical and conceptual foundation for her work. She brings importance to humble clothes — the kind “used to protect, wrap, wash and care for the body” — by incorporating (纳入) them into her art, making us reconsider the boundaries between fine art and the art of everyday life. Her late success strongly goes against common ideas about older people, especially older women. As one expert points out, we often give older women “the unclear, and often fading, quality of wisdom,” meaning their creative and personal growth has stopped. Ducrot’s clearly emotional work shows this is not true. “I think life, for women, begins at sixty,” she says. “Because then we begin to be free.” In her Roman palazzo, Isabella Ducrot continues her daily work, watching as the figures in her “Tenderness” series slowly emerge (出现) from the cloth. Just like her art, her own life is a masterpiece that is still unfolding. With each brushstroke she paints and piece of fabric she adds, she shows us a simple truth: even in life’s later years, creativity can not only survive but blossom with unexpected freedom and power. 4. What can we know about Ducrot’s art? A. It shows complex historical scenes. B. It creates a sense of calm and peacefulness. C. It is created using digital tools and software. D. It features repetitive patterns and landscape paintings. 5. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. She finds unique textiles unworthy. B. She keeps art separate from daily life. C. Her art is mainly based on imagination. D. Her travels provide artistic inspiration. 6. Which of the following can best describe Ducrot? A. Creative and free. B. Traditional and reserved. C. Determined and imaginative. D. Energetic and generous. 7. What message does Ducrot’s story convey? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Where there’s a will, there is a way. C. It’s never too late to start a new chapter in life. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. C Gestures are older than spoken language and they complement our words. Imagine life without being able to point. We do it all the time — in a pastry shop, you point to signal that you want the croissant (羊角面包) without the burnt edges, or to indicate to your host at a dinner party how much wine you want. Think about the forefinger raised over your thumb. A larger gap indicates more wine. Some gestures have a rich history and have lasted a long time. But in a sign of the times, for younger people, especially Generation Z, some of our most well-known hand gestures have changed. Common hand signals, such as writing in the air to get the bill in a restaurant, or tapping on the wrist to ask the time, are at risk of dying out. Contactless payment systems and electronic billing systems have made chequebooks unnecessary, and many young people increasingly use their mobile phones, rather than a watch, to tell the time. Take the UK as an example. Research shows that all young people here between the ages of 16 and 24 own a smartphone. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the hand signal for the “old-fashioned” landline phone is becoming unusual, since gestures that are specific to particular devices are likely to only be recognised by those who are familiar with such devices. In an online video, New Yorker Daniel Alvarado commented, “This is how you know you’re getting old.” He showed that when his children were asked to gesture “phone me”, instead of holding a hand to their ear with their little finger and thumb stretched, each child held a flat palm to the side of their face to indicate a mobile phone. Our technological innovations will influence what remains and what dies in terms of our most common hand gestures. Like a flowing river, into which no one can step twice, history moves on, too. And like our language, our gestures change too, which is a reflection of the signs of our times. 8. What does the author imply by introducing daily communication with gestures in paragraph one? A. The helpful role of gestures. B. The limitation of language. C. The cultural origins of gestures. D. The significance of proper behaviour. 9. What does the video of Daniel Alvarado mainly show? A. Children are more open to new things. B. Some gestures are difficult to remember. C. Some gestures are generationally specific. D. Children are overdependent on smartphones. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Technological progress has no end. B. The variation of gestures is unavoidable. C. Older gestures carry more cultural significance. D. Human development is full of ups and downs. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Technology Is Changing Our Gestures B. Hand Gestures Are Drawing New Users C. Gestures Reflect the Characteristics of Society D. Technology Reshapes Our Communication Methods D Anxious about returning to work after a career break? You post about your troubles online and two strangers reply. Stranger 1: “I understand your anxiety; your courage matters.” Stranger 2: “I’ve struggled with the same problem. Just jump in!” Studies show most find Stranger 1 more empathetic — but it’s often a chatbot. Surprised? Research reveals chatbots frequently outperform humans in empathy (同理心). A 2023 study found 80% of patients preferred chatbots’ response to doctors’ advice. Similarly, a 2024 experiment showed even when humans were paid to create thoughtful replies, they still fell short of ChatGPT’s sympathy. The secret to the chatbots’ success lies in mistakes humans make. When humans see someone in pain, we often share personal stories (“I’ve struggled too”) or rush to give advice (“Do this!”). While well-meaning, rushing to share opinions can minimize someone’s pain, and shifting the focus to ourselves weakens hope to be heard. Chatbots, however, avoid these errors. Without personal experiences or urgency to solve problems, they focus entirely on the speaker. In a 2024 study, Microsoft’s Bing Chat scored higher than humans by using a three-step method: explaining people’s struggles, acknowledging and justifying how they might feel, and asking follow-up questions. Humans can also adopt similar strategies like “looping for understanding”—repeating others’ words in their own terms and checking correctness (“Do I have that right?”). Chatbots are natural loopers, and when humans learn it, they better understand others’ emotions and make them feel heard. These skills extend beyond strengthening family and friend bonds: dozens of studies show managers and employers using such methods tend to have more loyal, effective, and productive employees. Despite AI’s impressive listening skills, it has limits. Chatbots repeat formulaic (公式化的) responses (“I hear you”) that feel robotic over time. They can’t feel or truly care for us, and studies show most human beings still want to engage with other humans. Some of the bugs of human connection are also, in fact, features. Chatbots can’t roll their eyes or leave our texts unanswered. But the fact that we often must earn human empathy, and that it comes from limited beings who sacrifice (牺牲) to be there for us, is part of its beauty. 12. What is the author’s purpose in quoting the two strangers’ replies? A. To compare two ways of giving advice. B. To introduce a psychological phenomenon. C. To suggest how to overcome anxiety. D. To criticize human’s communication. 13. What does the underlined phrase “fell short of” mean in paragraph 2? A. Differed from. B. Failed to match. C. Did better than. D. Were in need of. 14. What can humans learn from chatbots’ empathy strategies? A. To provide direct solutions. B. To stress shared stories. C. To correct speakers’ mistakes. D. To avoid self-centered responses. 15. What does the author want to say in the last paragraph? A. AI is an impressive listener. B. Human empathy is valuable. C. AI responds to human’s pain calmly. D. There are problems with human interaction. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 Nowadays, parents tend to help their kids stay away from boredom by putting children in tutoring classes or in front of screens.

Ducrot creates her art by standing and sweeping loose stroke of ink or paint onto paper or fabric (布料), sometimes using a brush attached to a stick. She often adds pieces of other papers or fabrics to create pictures. Her works, typically made in series, feature simple landscapes, and repeating patterns like ovals (椭圆) and squares. Full of life, color, and a sense of freedom, her art feels so fresh and energetic that a museum in France has called her, in a surprising way, “a young artist with a young career.” Ducrot’s art is deeply rooted in her life experiences. For years, she and her late husband ran a luxury travel business, journeying from India to Afghanistan and gathering a unique collection of textiles (纺织品). These experiences and materials now provide both the physical and conceptual foundation for her work. She brings importance to humble clothes — the kind “used to protect, wrap, wash and care for the body” — by incorporating (纳入) them into her art, making us reconsider the boundaries between fine art and the art of everyday life. Her late success strongly goes against common ideas about older people, especially older women. As one expert points out, we often give older women “the unclear, and often fading, quality of wisdom,” meaning their creative and personal growth has stopped. Ducrot’s clearly emotional work shows this is not true. “I think life, for women, begins at sixty,” she says. “Because then we begin to be free.” In her Roman palazzo, Isabella Ducrot continues her daily work, watching as the figures in her “Tenderness” series slowly emerge (出现) from the cloth. Just like her art, her own life is a masterpiece that is still unfolding. With each brushstroke she paints and piece of fabric she adds, she shows us a simple truth: even in life’s later years, creativity can not only survive but blossom with unexpected freedom and power. 4. What can we know about Ducrot’s art? A. It shows complex historical scenes. B. It creates a sense of calm and peacefulness. C. It is created using digital tools and software. D. It features repetitive patterns and landscape paintings. 5. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. She finds unique textiles unworthy. B. She keeps art separate from daily life. C. Her art is mainly based on imagination. D. Her travels provide artistic inspiration. 6. Which of the following can best describe Ducrot? A. Creative and free. B. Traditional and reserved. C. Determined and imaginative. D. Energetic and generous. 7. What message does Ducrot’s story convey? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Where there’s a will, there is a way. C. It’s never too late to start a new chapter in life. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍意大利艺术家Isabella Ducrot，讲述她晚年开启创作，凭借独特作品收获国际声誉的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Her works, typically made in series, feature simple landscapes, and repeating patterns like ovals (椭圆) and squares. (她的作品通常成套创作，以简约风景以及椭圆、方形这类重复图案为特色。)”可知，她的作品包含重复图案与风景画。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“For years, she and her late husband ran a luxury travel business, journeying from India to Afghanistan and gathering a unique collection of textiles. These experiences and materials now provide both the physical and conceptual foundation for her work.(多年来，她和已故丈夫经营高端旅行业务，从印度前往阿富汗，收藏独特纺织品。这些经历与材料如今为她的作品提供物质与思想基础。)”可知，旅行经历为她带来艺术灵感。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Full of life, color, and a sense of freedom, her art feels so fresh and energetic that a museum in France has called her, in a surprising way, “a young artist with a young career.”(她的作品富有生机、色彩与自由感，清新而充满活力，法国一家博物馆称她为拥有崭新事业的年轻艺术家。)”以及尾段她持续创作的内容可知，她富有创造力且崇尚自由。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Isabella Ducrot, an Italian artist born in 1931, is becoming internationally famous for her art only recently, even though she didn’t start creating it until she was in her fifties.(伊莎贝拉·杜克罗是生于 1931 年的意大利艺术家，直到五十多岁才开始创作，近期才凭借作品享誉国际。)”可知，她的故事告诉我们开启人生新篇章永远不会太晚。 C Gestures are older than spoken language and they complement our words. Imagine life without being able to point. We do it all the time — in a pastry shop, you point to signal that you want the croissant (羊角面包) without the burnt edges, or to indicate to your host at a dinner party how much wine you want. Think about the forefinger raised over your thumb. A larger gap indicates more wine. Some gestures have a rich history and have lasted a long time. But in a sign of the times, for younger people, especially Generation Z, some of our most well-known hand gestures have changed. Common hand signals, such as writing in the air to get the bill in a restaurant, or tapping on the wrist to ask the time, are at risk of dying out. Contactless payment systems and electronic billing systems have made chequebooks unnecessary, and many young people increasingly use their mobile phones, rather than a watch, to tell the time. Take the UK as an example. Research shows that all young people here between the ages of 16 and 24 own a smartphone. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the hand signal for the “old-fashioned” landline phone is becoming unusual, since gestures that are specific to particular devices are likely to only be recognised by those who are familiar with such devices. In an online video, New Yorker Daniel Alvarado commented, “This is how you know you’re getting old.” He showed that when his children were asked to gesture “phone me”, instead of holding a hand to their ear with their little finger and thumb stretched, each child held a flat palm to the side of their face to indicate a mobile phone. Our technological innovations will influence what remains and what dies in terms of our most common hand gestures. Like a flowing river, into which no one can step twice, history moves on, too. And like our language, our gestures change too, which is a reflection of the signs of our times. 8. What does the author imply by introducing daily communication with gestures in paragraph one? A. The helpful role of gestures. B. The limitation of language. C. The cultural origins of gestures. D. The significance of proper behaviour. 9. What does the video of Daniel Alvarado mainly show? A. Children are more open to new things. B. Some gestures are difficult to remember. C. Some gestures are generationally specific. D. Children are overdependent on smartphones. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Technological progress has no end. B. The variation of gestures is unavoidable. C. Older gestures carry more cultural significance. D. Human development is full of ups and downs. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Technology Is Changing Our Gestures B. Hand Gestures Are Drawing New Users C. Gestures Reflect the Characteristics of Society D. Technology Reshapes Our Communication Methods 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】手势辅助语言交流，随着科技发展，不少传统手势逐渐消失，手势会随时代发生变化。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Gestures are older than spoken language and they complement our words. Imagine life without being able to point. We do it all the time — in a pastry shop, you point to signal that you want the croissant (羊角面包) without the burnt edges, or to indicate to your host at a dinner party how much wine you want. Think about the forefinger raised over your thumb. A larger gap indicates more wine.(手势的出现早于口语，并且能够补充我们的话语。试想一下，如果不能用手指指物，生活会是什么样子。我们一直都在这样做 —— 在糕点店里，你用手指点，示意想要边缘没有烤焦的羊角面包；或是在晚宴上向主人示意自己想要多少葡萄酒。想想拇指上方竖起食指的那个手势：两指之间空隙越大，代表想要的酒越多。)”可知，作者举例日常手势交流是为了说明手势起到辅助交流的作用。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Perhaps unsurprisingly, the hand signal for the “old-fashioned” landline phone is becoming unusual, since gestures that are specific to particular devices are likely to only be recognised by those who are familiar with such devices.(不足为奇的是，代表老式固定电话的手势如今越来越少见了，因为专属于特定设备的手势，往往只有熟悉这些设备的人才能看懂。)”可知，Daniel Alvarado的视频表明有些手势具有代际差异。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“And like our language, our gestures change too, which is a reflection of the signs of our times.(并且和我们的语言一样，我们的手势也会发生变化，这是时代特征的一种体现。)”可知，手势的变化是不可避免的。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是根据第二段“But in a sign of the times, for younger people, especially Generation Z, some of our most well-known hand gestures have changed.(但时代的变化体现在，对于年轻人，尤其是Z世代，一些我们熟知的手势已经发生了改变。)”可知，文章主要讲述科技正在改变我们的手势。所以A项“Technology Is Changing Our Gestures(技术正在改变我们的手势)”符合语境。 D Anxious about returning to work after a career break? You post about your troubles online and two strangers reply. Stranger 1: “I understand your anxiety; your courage matters.” Stranger 2: “I’ve struggled with the same problem. Just jump in!” Studies show most find Stranger 1 more empathetic — but it’s often a chatbot. Surprised? Research reveals chatbots frequently outperform humans in empathy (同理心). A 2023 study found 80% of patients preferred chatbots’ response to doctors’ advice. Similarly, a 2024 experiment showed even when humans were paid to create thoughtful replies, they still fell short of ChatGPT’s sympathy. The secret to the chatbots’ success lies in mistakes humans make. When humans see someone in pain, we often share personal stories (“I’ve struggled too”) or rush to give advice (“Do this!”). While well-meaning, rushing to share opinions can minimize someone’s pain, and shifting the focus to ourselves weakens hope to be heard. Chatbots, however, avoid these errors. Without personal experiences or urgency to solve problems, they focus entirely on the speaker. In a 2024 study, Microsoft’s Bing Chat scored higher than humans by using a three-step method: explaining people’s struggles, acknowledging and justifying how they might feel, and asking follow-up questions. Humans can also adopt similar strategies like “looping for understanding”—repeating others’ words in their own terms and checking correctness (“Do I have that right?”). Chatbots are natural loopers, and when humans learn it, they better understand others’ emotions and make them feel heard. These skills extend beyond strengthening family and friend bonds: dozens of studies show managers and employers using such methods tend to have more loyal, effective, and productive employees. Despite AI’s impressive listening skills, it has limits. Chatbots repeat formulaic (公式化的) responses (“I hear you”) that feel robotic over time. They can’t feel or truly care for us, and studies show most human beings still want to engage with other humans. Some of the bugs of human connection are also, in fact, features. Chatbots can’t roll their eyes or leave our texts unanswered. But the fact that we often must earn human empathy, and that it comes from limited beings who sacrifice (牺牲) to be there for us, is part of its beauty. 12. What is the author’s purpose in quoting the two strangers’ replies? A. To compare two ways of giving advice. B. To introduce a psychological phenomenon. C. To suggest how to overcome anxiety. D. To criticize human’s communication. 13. What does the underlined phrase “fell short of” mean in paragraph 2? A. Differed from. B. Failed to match. C. Did better than. D. Were in need of. 14. What can humans learn from chatbots’ empathy strategies? A. To provide direct solutions. B. To stress shared stories. C. To correct speakers’ mistakes. D. To avoid self-centered responses. 15. What does the author want to say in the last paragraph? A. AI is an impressive listener. B. Human empathy is valuable. C. AI responds to human’s pain calmly. D. There are problems with human interaction. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述了聊天机器人在同理心方面表现，分析了人类在交流中常犯的错误、聊天机器人的成功策略、AI的局限性以及人类同理心的独特价值。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Studies show most find Stranger 1 more empathetic — but it’s often a chatbot. Surprised?(研究表明，大多数人认为陌生人1更有同理心——但它通常是一个聊天机器人。惊讶吗？)”可知，作者引用两个陌生人的回复是为了引出聊天机器人更具同理心这一心理现象。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Research reveals chatbots frequently outperform humans in empathy (同理心). A 2023 study found 80% of patients preferred chatbots’ response to doctors’ advice. Similarly, a 2024 experiment showed even when humans were paid to create thoughtful replies, they still fell short of ChatGPT’s sympathy.(研究表明，聊天机器人在同理心方面经常胜过人类。2023年的一项研究发现，80%的患者更喜欢聊天机器人的回应，而不是医生的建议。同样，2024年的一项实验表明，即使有人付费让人类给出深思熟虑的回复，他们仍然fell short of ChatGPT的同情心水平。)”可知，前文提到聊天机器人在同理心方面优于人类，此处指即使付费，人类的回复同样还是不如ChatGPT，达不到ChatGPT的同情心水平，所以“fell short of”意为“未能达到、比不上”。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When humans see someone in pain, we often share personal stories (“I’ve struggled too”) or rush to give advice (“Do this!”). While well-meaning, rushing to share opinions can minimize someone’s pain, and shifting the focus to ourselves weakens hope to be heard. Chatbots, however, avoid these errors. Without personal experiences or urgency to solve problems, they focus entirely on the speaker.(当人类看到有人处于痛苦中时，我们经常会分享个人经历（“我也经历过挣扎”）或急于给出建议（“这么做！”）。虽然是出于好意，但急于发表看法可能会轻视对方的痛苦，而将焦点转移到自己身上则会削弱对方被倾听的期望。然而，聊天机器人避免了这些错误。没有个人经历或解决问题的紧迫感，它们完全专注于说话者。)”可知，人类可以从聊天机器人身上学到避免以自我为中心的回应。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Despite AI’s impressive listening skills, it has limits. Chatbots repeat formulaic (公式化的) responses (“I hear you”) that feel robotic over time. They can’t feel or truly care for us, and studies show most human beings still want to engage with other humans. Some of the bugs of human connection are also, in fact, features. Chatbots can’t roll their eyes or leave our texts unanswered. But the fact that we often must earn human empathy, and that it comes from limited beings who sacrifice (牺牲) to be there for us, is part of its beauty. (尽管人工智能的倾听能力令人印象深刻，但它也存在局限性。聊天机器人会重复那些公式化的回应（比如“我懂你的意思”），时间一长就会显得机械生硬。它们无法产生情感，也不会真正关心我们，而且研究表明，大多数人仍然希望与其他人类进行交流。事实上，人类交往中的一些“小瑕疵”，其实也是其特色所在。聊天机器人不会翻白眼，也不会对我们的信息置之不理。但我们往往需要努力才能获得人类的同理心，而这种同理心来自那些会为我们做出牺牲、能力有限的人——这正是人类同理心的美妙之处。)”可知，作者在最后一段想表达人类的同理心是有价值的。故选B项。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 Nowadays, parents tend to help their kids stay away from boredom by putting children in tutoring classes or in front of screens.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍无聊这种情绪并非坏事，它能够给孩子带来诸多益处以及家长应当如何正确对待孩子感到无聊的情况。 【16题详解】 前文“Nowadays, parents tend to help their kids stay away from boredom by putting children in tutoring classes or in front of screens. Some might see it as a negative emotion that they don’t want their children to experience.(如今，家长们往往通过给孩子报辅导班或者让孩子对着屏幕的方式，帮他们远离无聊。有些人可能把无聊看作一种不想让孩子经历的负面情绪。)”指出了大众对无聊的普遍负面认知，后文开始逐一介绍无聊给孩子带来的各类好处，E项“Contrary to common belief, boredom offers children many benefits.(与普遍认知相反，无聊能给孩子带来诸多益处。)”完成了从负面认知到正面价值的转折过渡，总领全文核心论述方向。 【17题详解】 前文“Boredom is a signal that a change is needed. Whether it is a change in scenery, activity, or company, boredom encourages children to seek something different.(无聊是一种“需要做出改变”的信号。无论是场景、活动还是同伴的改变，无聊都会鼓励孩子去寻求不一样的体验。)”说明无聊会推动孩子主动探索新事物，后文“Psychologists have found that the experience of boredom can lead to discovering new goals, trying new activities and making new friends.(心理学家发现，无聊的体验能让孩子发现新目标、尝试新活动、结交新朋友。)”进一步补充了这种探索行为带来的具体结果，G项“It serves as a gentle push for children to go beyond their comfort zone.(它会温和地推动孩子走出自己的舒适区。)”承接前文“鼓励寻求不同”的逻辑，衔接后文探索新事物的具体表现。 【18题详解】 后文“A reasonable break time leaves room to ask the big questions in life and find meaning. With their mind wandering and reviewing personal experiences, children have the chance to think independently and explore their inner world.(一段合理的空闲时间能给孩子留出空间，去思考人生中的重要问题、探寻意义。在思绪漫游、回顾个人经历的过程中，孩子有机会独立思考、探索自己的内心世界。)”围绕“无聊能促进深度思考”展开论述，D项“Boredom also opens up valuable opportunities for deep thinking.(无聊也能为深度思考打开宝贵的机会窗口。)”作为本段的主题句，概括了段落核心内容，引出后文的具体阐释。 【19题详解】 前文“Beyond encouraging reflection, boredom teaches children how to manage themselves as well. Learning to manage boredom and other negative emotions is an important life skill.(除了促进思考之外，无聊还能教会孩子如何自我管理。学会应对无聊和其他负面情绪是一项重要的生活技能。)”点明了无聊能培养孩子的自我管理能力，后文“When children manage their own time, it can help them develop executive function, which includes the ability to set goals and make plans.(当孩子自主管理自己的时间时，这能帮助他们培养执行能力，其中就包括设定目标、制定计划的能力。)”进一步说明自我管理能力带来的长期成长价值，A项“Self-management skills are crucial for children’s growth.(自我管理技能对孩子的成长至关重要。)”承接前文的“自我管理”话题，完成段内语义的递进。 【20题详解】 前文“Parents can support this process by giving children more opportunities to handle boredom on their own.(家长可以通过给孩子更多自主应对无聊的机会，来支持这个成长过程。)”说明家长要在孩子应对无聊的过程中提供支持，后文“Then start with small doses of boredom and work up to longer stretches of unstructured time: getting kids outside, suggesting a new game or recipe, or simply resting.(之后从短时间的无聊体验开始，逐步延长无安排的空闲时长：带孩子出门、推荐一个新游戏或食谱，或者只是单纯休息。)”给出了家长引导孩子的具体操作步骤，B项“Help children understand that boredom is a natural experience.(帮助孩子理解无聊是一种很自然的体验。)”作为家长引导过程的第一步，衔接前后文。 第三部分 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、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Every day on my way to college, I meet the same woman.

Nowadays, with the rapid development of technology, a number of students turn to AI to polish up their English compositions. From my point of view, AI brings considerable benefits to our English writing. For one thing, AI can efficiently spot grammar mistakes and polish awkward expressions, helping us learn more authentic ways of writing. For another, it provides instant feedback for our self-study. With its help, we can ease our fear of English writing and gradually build up our confidence. To sum up, we should embrace new technology wisely. Properly used, AI will serve as a powerful helper in our writing practice. 范文二： Should we use AI to polish up our compositions? With the rapid development of technology, numerous students depend on AI to polish up their English compositions. From my individual perspective, the drawbacks outweigh its benefits. To begin with, the high efficiency of AI robs us of the valuable chance to reflect on our writings and weakens our willingness to revise them independently, leading to over-reliance in the long term. In addition, writing is meant to convey our true inner feelings. Compositions polished by AI may sound fancy in language but lack our genuine thoughts. Therefore, we ought to improve our compositions through continuous practice rather than turn to AI for assistance. 【解析】 【导语】题目要求学生为班级英语角写一篇短文，谈谈对学生借助AI润色作文的现象的看法，应首先表明立场，再就该立场详细陈述至少两点理由（详解基于第二篇范文）。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 缺点：drawback→disadvantage/downside 超过：outweigh→surpass/exceed 剥夺某人的某物：rob sb. of sth.→deprive sb. of sth. 削弱：weaken→undermine/erode 2. 句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Therefore, we ought to improve our compositions through continuous practice rather than turn to AI for assistance. 拓展句：Therefore, what we ought to do is improve our compositions through continuous practice rather than turn to AI for assistance. 【点睛】[高分句型1] To begin with, the high efficiency of AI robs us of the valuable chance to reflect on our writings and weakens our willingness to revise them independently, leading to over-reliance in the long term.
