【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The main purpose of the journal is to present innovative approaches concerning all scientific aspects related to heritage science.(本刊的主要目的是介绍与遗产科学有关的所有科学方面的创新方法)”可知,该期刊的主要目的是提供遗产科学的新方法。故选C项。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据SPECIFIC TOPICS中“Museum conservation: technologies for the management and improvement of museum collections.(博物馆保护:管理和改善博物馆藏品的技术)”可知,该期刊关注博物馆保护方面的内容,C选项“Science is improving museum collections.(科学正在改善博物馆藏品)”符合博物馆保护这一主题,由此可推知,“科学正在改善博物馆藏品”这篇文章有可能被收录在期刊上。故选C项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据BENEFITS TO AUTHORS 中“Payment $60 per thousand words(稿费 每千字支付60美元)”以及“Early submission bonus a $15 bonus if submitted before the 10th of every month(提前提交奖金:如果在每10号之前提交,将获得15美元奖金)”可知,文章提到稿费是每千字60美元,2000字的文章稿费应为2×60=120美元。又因为在每月10号前提交有15美元的奖金,4月5号提交满足此条件,所以总共可得120+15=135美元,B选项正确。故选B项。

My phone buzzed with a video titled “WARNING: 5 Foods That Are Actually Plastic.” My mother doesn’t offer advice; she issues warnings.
I suspect her phone has declared war on me. Every time she scrolls, the feed whispers to her that my favorite snack is a “poison”. I never challenge her claims, since she trusts a forwarded article more than my college degree.
One day, she was telling me about a fitness contest at her gym, and I started lecturing about body fat percentages. While I was spreading all this wisdom, I was glued to the sofa, extending one leg like a crane to grab the remote with my big toe to avoid sitting up. She was watching me with a blank expression, “If you worked out as hard as you avoided standing up, you would be in great shape now.”
To my face, she’s a critic, but I caught her describing me as a “highly intellectual, talented person” on a call with my aunt. From the next room, I wondered, “Wait, who is she talking about? Am I that person?”
She is the only one allowed to roast her children. It’s a “membership-only” club. Even when she praises me, it’s her way of saying, “I raised this, so of course it’s excellent,” although she just told me five minutes ago that my room looks like a disaster zone.
Despite her warnings, she’s always the first I run to when I need help. Every festival or family event becomes her next design assignment. I send her screenshots of high-fashion looks, like a creative director with impossible demands. She looks at the picture, gives her signature nervous laugh and says, “I’m not a certified fashion designer.” But then she spends hours on the floor with chalk and a measuring tape. She eventually creates her own edition, and somehow, her version turns out better than the original.
And maybe that’s just another way mothers say they love you.
4. Why does the author avoid challenging her mother’s claims?
A. It will hurt her mother’s feelings.
B. She respects her mother’s authority.
C. It is useless to argue with her mother.
D. She believes in warnings from her mother.
5. How does the mother sound in paragraph 3?
A. Deeply annoyed. B. Playfully mean.
C. Genuinely proud. D. Bitterly jealous.
6. What does the “membership-only club” indicate?
A. Only the mother can criticize the author.
B. Family members get automatic membership.
C. The mother only praises the author in private.
D. Club members are encouraged to judge the author.
7. What can be inferred about the mother from paragraph 6?
A. She enjoys assigning festival tasks.
B. She values professional certification.
C. She takes pride in raising a designer.
D. She expresses love through practical acts.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了作者与母亲之间充满吐槽却饱含深情的日常互动,展现了母亲用独特的批评式关爱表达对孩子的爱。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I never challenge her claims, since she trusts a forwarded article more than my college degree. (我从不质疑她的说法,因为比起我的大学学历,她更相信转发来的文章。)”可知,母亲的观念根深蒂固,与她争论毫无意义,所以作者从不挑战她的说法。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中作者的情况“While I was spreading all this wisdom, I was glued to the sofa, extending one leg like a crane to grab the remote with my big toe to avoid sitting up. (我一边滔滔不绝地分享这些真知灼见,一边牢牢赖在沙发上,像鹤一样伸出一条腿,用大脚趾去勾遥控器,就不用坐起身。)”以及作者妈妈的评论“If you worked out as hard as you avoided standing up, you would be in great shape now. (如果你像避免站起来一样努力锻炼,你现在身材会很好。)”可知,母亲看到作者懒得用脚趾抓遥控器,用调侃的语气吐槽她的懒惰,由此可推知母亲的语气是开玩笑式的刻薄。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中“membership-only club”前面的“She is the only one allowed to roast her children. (只有她才被允许吐槽自己的孩子。)”可知,该短语指只有母亲才有资格批评作者,别人不可以随意评判她的孩子。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Every festival or family event becomes her next design assignment. I send her screenshots of high-fashion looks, like a creative director with impossible demands. (每一个节日或家庭活动,都成了她的下一项设计任务。我会把高定造型的截图发给她,就像一个有着各种苛刻要求的创意总监。)”、妈妈的回复“I’m not a certified fashion designer. (我并不是持证时尚设计师。)”以及“But then she spends hours on the floor with chalk and a measuring tape. (但她还是花几个小时在地上用粉笔和卷尺量来量去。)”可知,母亲嘴上说自己不是专业设计师,实际却用心为作者制作节日服装。由此可推知母亲是通过实际行动来表达爱的。
C
About 2,000 years ago, the Roman philosopher Seneca warned of a crisis of attention. The problem wasn’t caused by smartphones but by the growing availability of papyrus (纸莎草纸). As scrolls (卷轴) became more plentiful and wealthy readers had access to more texts than ever before, constantly moving from one scroll to another left their mind unable to stay in one place and spend time with itself.
Today, although the source of distraction has changed, the challenge remains much the same. We often blame technology for our inability to focus, but Seneca would have argued that the real problem lies elsewhere. Constantly jumping from one idea to another prevents deep thinking.
Seneca offered a surprisingly simple solution. Instead of reading as much as possible, choose one meaningful idea each day and stay with it. Think about it repeatedly, connect it with your own experiences and allow it to shape the way you understand the world. According to Seneca, wisdom comes not from collecting ideas but from fully digesting them.
I have followed this practice for many years. One morning, while reading Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich, I was struck by the character’s realization that success and wealth mean little without love, friendship and purpose. I carried that idea with me throughout the day. It gradually reshaped my thinking, inspiring me to reconnect with old friends.
Seneca compared this process to the way bees make honey. Bees do not simply collect nectar (花蜜); they transform it into something richer and longer lasting. Psychologists describe a similar process as deep processing. When we return to the same idea again and again, our brains connect it with personal experience and store it more firmly in long-term memory. Information gradually becomes understanding, and understanding slowly becomes wisdom.
In an age when information is everywhere, many people believe that learning means knowing more. Seneca reminds us that real wisdom comes from slowing down, thinking deeply and allowing meaningful ideas to become part of who we are.
8. What is the papyrus example intended to show?
A. Distraction has long existed. B. Writing materials have changed.
C. Reading was once for the rich. D. Technology in Rome was advanced.
9. What did the practice of “one meaningful idea each day” lead the author to do?
A. Restore old friendships. B. Read more books.
C. Give up the pursuit of wealth. D. Write down daily thoughts.
10. What is Seneca’s comparison used to explain?
A. How bees make honey. B. Why ideas shape who we are.
C. Why memory needs repetition. D. How information becomes wisdom.
11. Which statement would Seneca agree with according to the passage?
A. A busy mind is a wise mind.
B. Doubt is the key to knowledge.
C. Actions speak louder than words.
D. One who is everywhere is nowhere.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了古罗马哲学家塞涅卡提出的注意力危机,指出分心自古存在,主张每日专注一个观点深度思考,借蜜蜂酿蜜阐释信息转化为智慧的道理。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“About 2,000 years ago, the Roman philosopher Seneca warned of a crisis of attention. The problem wasn’t caused by smartphones but by the growing availability of papyrus (纸莎草纸). As scrolls (卷轴) became more plentiful and wealthy readers had access to more texts than ever before, constantly moving from one scroll to another left their mind unable to stay in one place and spend time with itself. (大约2000年前,古罗马哲学家塞涅卡就警示了注意力危机。该问题并非智能手机造成,而是纸莎草越来越容易获取。随着卷轴数量增多,富有的读者能读到比以往更多的文本,他们不断从一个卷轴换到另一个,这让他们的思绪无法安定下来。)”可知,纸莎草的例子意在说明分心现象由来已久。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead of reading as much as possible, choose one meaningful idea each day and stay with it. (不要尽可能多地阅读,而是每天选择一个有意义的观点并潜心钻研。)”第四段“I have followed this practice for many years. One morning, while reading Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich, I was struck by the character’s realization that success and wealth mean little without love, friendship and purpose. I carried that idea with me throughout the day. It gradually reshaped my thinking, inspiring me to reconnect with old friends. (我坚持这个做法很多年了。一天早上读托尔斯泰的《伊凡・伊里奇之死》,书中人物的感悟深深触动了我:没有爱、友谊与人生目标,成功和财富便毫无意义。我一整天都在琢磨这个想法,它慢慢重塑了我的思考,激励我重新联系老朋友。)”可知,“每天一个有意义观点”的做法促使作者重拾旧友谊。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Seneca compared this process to the way bees make honey. Bees do not simply collect nectar (花蜜); they transform it into something richer and longer lasting. Psychologists describe a similar process as deep processing. When we return to the same idea again and again, our brains connect it with personal experience and store it more firmly in long-term memory. Information gradually becomes understanding, and understanding slowly becomes wisdom. (塞涅卡把这个过程比作蜜蜂酿蜜。蜜蜂不只是采集花蜜,而是将其转化成更丰富、更持久的东西。心理学家将类似过程称为深度加工。我们反复思考同一个观点时,大脑会把它和个人经历结合,牢牢储存在长期记忆中。信息慢慢变成理解,而理解逐步升华为智慧。)”可知,塞涅卡的比喻用来解释信息如何变成智慧。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Instead of reading as much as possible, choose one meaningful idea each day and stay with it. Think about it repeatedly, connect it with your own experiences and allow it to shape the way you understand the world. According to Seneca, wisdom comes not from collecting ideas but from fully digesting them. (不要尽可能多地阅读,而是每天选择一个有意义的观点并潜心钻研。反复思考,结合自身经历,让它塑造你认知世界的方式。塞涅卡认为,智慧并非来自收集观点,而是充分消化理解观点。)”可知,塞涅卡反对不断跳转想法、浅尝辄止,会认同“One who is everywhere is nowhere. (处处涉足,则无处扎根。)”这一说法。
D
AI is already a part of childhood. While chatbots stand ready to answer questions like, “Are monsters real?” or “Why is the sky blue?”, companies are racing to embed AI into kids’ toys. Take Teddy, a robotic teddy bear that, more than just a toy, can walk, talk, make decisions, and respond to children’s needs and emotions.
In the new book, Human Raised: Nurturing Connection, Curiosity, & Lifelong Learning in the Age of AI, author Dana Suskind, a professor at the University of Chicago Medical Center, acknowledges that the technology makes sci-fi concepts plausible, offering promise as, for example, a productivity enhancer and time-saver for parents, a monitoring and research tool to collect valuable data on child development, and an interactive instructor helping some kids learn.
But what happens if AI begins replacing the kinds of human interactions that young brains evolved to learn from? Alarms seem to overshadow the conveniences. Suskind cites the research by developmental psychologist Patricia K. Kuhl, who proposed the “social gate” hypothesis (假说) -the idea that children’s brains are biologically wired to learn through social interaction. Studies have shown, for example, that babies learn language much better from a live person than from a screen because social interactions engage the brain in ways passive media do not. The sing-song way parents naturally speak to babies, smiles, gentle touch and back-and-forth exchanges all appear to help open that social gate, facilitating learning and healthy brain development.
“If we want children to be able to think critically, to be able to navigate the human world, we’re going to need to make sure that kids have a distinctly human-raised early childhood,” Suskind insists. AI toy companies, however, have different priorities. While those toys may imitate human interaction, Suskind argues they cannot recreate everything that makes human relationships developmentally valuable.
Human relationships are messy and filled with emotions, which involve misunderstandings, frustration, quarrels, as well as forgiveness and reconnection. Interestingly, Suskind compares AI relationships to ultra-processed food. “If all you eat is fruit snacks, which are a synthetic (合成的) version of fruit, when you actually eat the real fruit, you will be like, ‘Hmm, it’s not quite as sweet,’” she says.
12. What does the underlined word “plausible” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Strikingly popular. B. Increasingly vital. C. Difficult to understand. D. Possible in reality.
13. What does the “social gate” hypothesis help explain?
A. Social interaction is essential to early learning.
B. AI technology is equally helpful in children’s learning.
C. Passive media activate children’s brains for efficient learning.
D. Children are born with the ability to learn from surroundings.
14. What does the comparison with ultra-processed food suggest?
A. AI can interpret rich human emotions.
B. Human relationships seem more attractive to children.
C. AI relationships are an alternative to human interaction.
D. AI relationships may discourage children from real connections.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Are AI toys a perfect choice? B. Is AI defining children’s growth?
C. Who is responsible for childcare? D. How do AI toys change childhood?
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】主要探讨人工智能玩具走进儿童生活,分析其利弊,强调人际互动对儿童成长的不可替代性。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“acknowledges that the technology makes sci‑fi concepts plausible, offering promise as, for example, a productivity enhancer and time‑saver for parents, a monitoring and research tool to collect valuable data on child development, and an interactive instructor helping some kids learn.(承认这项技术让科幻概念变得plausible,例如有望成为父母提高效率、节省时间的工具,收集儿童发育宝贵数据的监测研究工具,以及帮助部分孩子学习的互动指导者。)”可知,这项技术让原本科幻里的想法在现实中有机会实现,因此plausible含义为“现实中有可能的”。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Suskind cites the research by developmental psychologist Patricia K. Kuhl, who proposed the “social gate” hypothesis (假说)‑the idea that children’s brains are biologically wired to learn through social interaction.(萨斯坎德引用发展心理学家帕特里夏·K·库尔的研究,她提出了“社会闸门”假说——儿童的大脑在生理上天生通过社会互动进行学习。)” 可知,该假说表明社会互动对早期学习至关重要。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Interestingly, Suskind compares AI relationships to ultra‑processed food. “If all you eat is fruit snacks, which are a synthetic (合成的) version of fruit, when you actually eat the real fruit, you will be like, ‘Hmm, it’s not quite as sweet,’” she says.(有趣的是,萨斯坎德把人工智能带来的交往类比为超加工食品。“如果你只吃水果零食,也就是水果的合成替代品,当你真正吃到真实水果时,你会觉得‘嗯,好像没有那么甜’,”她说。)”可知,把AI交往比作加工食品,暗示孩子习惯AI虚拟交往后,会削弱对真实人际往来的意愿。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“AI is already a part of childhood. While chatbots stand ready to answer questions like, “Are monsters real?” or “Why is the sky blue?”, companies are racing to embed AI into kids’ toys.(人工智能已经成为童年的一部分。聊天机器人随时准备回答诸如“怪物是真的吗?”或者“天空为什么是蓝色的?”这类问题,企业正争相把人工智能植入儿童玩具。)”可知,文章围绕当下AI玩具逐渐普及的现象展开,重点论述了AI玩具无法替代真实人际互动对儿童成长的价值,反思AI玩具并非儿童成长的完美选择。选项“Are AI toys a perfect choice?(AI玩具是完美的选择吗?)”精准贴合全文核心探讨的主题。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When did we start walking for leisure?
“Going for a walk” is a popular pastime among older and younger generations alike because of its well-known benefits for our physical and mental health. But you may be surprised to hear that wandering through pretty streets or hiking in mountainous have not always been considered leisure activities, according to Daniel Gale, a researcher of pedestrianism (步行运动).
____16____ Before that, it was just something people did out of necessity, some of whom even associated it with criminal activity. But for Charles Dickens, the famous English 19th Century author, marching through London streets and tramping around the countryside was a big part of the creative process. ____17____ He walked at an impressive pace of four miles per hour, according to his biography by Peter Ackroyd.
____18____ Perhaps you can take inspiration from another big-thinking wanderer. 19th Century American writer Henry David Thoreau took a slower approach, preferring to stroll over hills and fields and through the woods. He said that he could not preserve his health and spirits without walking at least four hours a day.
This idea of taking a stroll to clear your head has survived through to the 21st Century. But have pedestrian manners remained the same? A 1780 article for the London Magazine advised pedestrians to avoid things such as hanging around in conversation and obstructing people behind you. ____19____
In this modern age, when many of us are tied to our desks and to our screens, try the simple act of stepping out onto the city pavements, or getting lost in nature. ____20____ Whether you see yourself more as a casual stroller or a purposeful strider (阔步者), why not build a habit out of it?
A. What if speed-walking isn’t your thing?
B. This may make all the difference to our wellbeing.
C. Nowadays, we could add distracted phone-users.
D. He brought the recreation of walking into fashion.
E. Going on an urban walk is much more pleasant now.
F. It was a time to absorb what was going on around him.
G. In Britain, walking for fun wasn’t really a thing until the 1780s.
【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了散步的历史以及好处。
【16题详解】
根据后文“Before that, it was just something people did out of necessity, some of whom even associated it with criminal activity.(在此之前,这只是人们出于需要而做的事情,有些人甚至把它与犯罪活动联系在一起)”可知,本句主要在说明散步流行起来的时间。故G选项“在英国,直到18世纪80年代,以散步为乐趣才真正成为一件事”符合语境,故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“But for Charles Dickens, the famous English 19th Century author, marching through London streets and tramping around the countryside was a big part of the creative process. (但对19世纪英国著名作家查尔斯·狄更斯来说,在伦敦街头游行、在乡间漫步是创作过程的重要组成部分)”可知,上文提到著名作家查尔斯·狄更斯喜欢创作的时候散步,故本句承接上文,说明这么做的原因。故F选项“这是一个吸收周围发生的事情的时候”符合语境,故选F。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Perhaps you can take inspiration from another big-thinking wanderer. 19th Century American writer Henry David Thoreau took a slower approach, preferring to stroll over hills and fields and through the woods. He said that he could not preserve his health and spirits without walking at least four hours a day.(也许你可以从另一个胸怀大志的流浪者身上得到启发。19世纪的美国作家亨利·大卫·梭罗采取了一种较慢的方式,他更喜欢在山丘、田野和树林里漫步。他说,如果每天不走至少四个小时,他就无法保持健康和精神)”可知,后文主要说明了漫步的放松方式,结合上一段“He walked at an impressive pace of four miles per hour, according to his biography by Peter Ackroyd.(根据彼得·阿克罗伊德的传记,他以每小时4英里的惊人速度行走)”提到了快速行走,故A选项“如果你不喜欢快走呢?”符合语境,故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上文“This idea of taking a stroll to clear your head has survived through to the 21st Century. But have pedestrian manners remained the same? A 1780 article for the London Magazine advised pedestrians to avoid things such as hanging around in conversation and obstructing people behind you.(通过散步来清醒头脑的想法一直延续到21世纪。但是,行人的举止还保持不变吗?1780年《伦敦杂志》上的一篇文章建议行人避免在谈话中徘徊或妨碍身后的人)”可知,本句与上文并列,都是在说明导致行人散步行为发生改变的情况,故C选项“现在,我们可以加上分心的电话用户”符合语境,故选C。
【20题详解】
根据上文“In this modern age, when many of us are tied to our desks and to our screens, try the simple act of stepping out onto the city pavements, or getting lost in nature.(在这个现代时代,当我们中的许多人都被束缚在办公桌和屏幕前时,试着走到城市的人行道上,或者迷失在大自然中)”以及后文“Whether you see yourself more as a casual stroller or a purposeful strider (阔步者), why not build a habit out of it?(无论你把自己看成是一个随意的漫步者还是一个有目的的步行者,为什么不养成一种习惯呢?)”可知,后文建议出去散步,可知本句是在说明散步的好处。故B选项“这可能会对我们的健康产生很大的影响”符合语境,故选B。
第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)

Financial trouble had distanced us from the life that was. We decided to ____21____ our home. But first, we’d have to deal with two hugely ____22____ hollies (冬青树) that have overtaken the front of the house.
We called landscapers (园艺师). The news wasn’t ____23____. 20-plus years of neglect left us with only two ____24____: Let them be or tear them out. The idea of cutting off all that life just for a better view ____25____ us. We have never owned any green thing that grew well, except for those crazy hollies. But we still scheduled the ____26____.

The Weight of Victory
The annual Maplewood Charity Walk was just two weeks away, and this year’s theme was “Stronger Together”. Evan, a two-time defending champion, had every intention of winning the trophy again. However, Principal Miller’s new rule — that all students must walk in pairs — threatened his plan. Evan complained, convinced that being tied to a younger partner would ruin his record.
When the randomly drawn partner list was posted, Evan found himself paired with Leo, a seventh grader. At lunch break, he looked for Leo near the water fountain, only to realize the smaller boy was in a wheelchair. Stunned, Evan wondered how he could keep his champion pace while pushing a chair. To his surprise, during their first practice lap (跑道的一圈), Leo moved forward with surprising upper-body strength, forcing Evan to run just to keep up. They quickly found a rhythm: Leo would signal when his arms were tired, and Evan would take the handles; Evan would call for a break when his legs burned.
On the day of the event, the cool autumn air buzzed with excitement. Principal Miller reminded everyone that the winners would be decided by the number of laps completed as a team, not speed alone within three hours. It meant only laps finished with both partners participating would count toward their final score. As the starting whistle blew, Evan and Leo settled into a steady pace. Two hours passed, and most teams had given up. Just as victory seemed close, disaster struck. Suddenly, Evan tripped on a rough part of the track. He fell hard and felt a sharp pain in his knee as he tried to stand. Pain shot through his leg as he held the wound, looking up at Leo.
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。
Staring at his bleeding knee, Evan felt all hope of winning slip away.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Principal Miller held up the lap cards and announced the result.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文:
Staring at his bleeding knee, Evan felt all hope of winning slip away. Sharp, burning pain spread across his wounded knee, making every slight movement unbearable. Noticing Evan’s frustration, Leo looked up softly and whispered, “We’ve come so far. We finish this together.” Encouraged by Leo’s calm voice, Evan regained his resolve. Gritting his teeth against the stinging pain, he hopped unsteadily to grip the wheelchair handles. They struggled forward in perfect teamwork, Evan hopping and guiding, Leo straining his tired arms to push the wheels, lap by painful lap. The designated time drew to a close, and the competition came to a halt.
Principal Miller held up the lap cards and announced the result. A hush fell over the crowd. Evan barely dared to look, convinced their injury had cost them the championship. Surprisingly, their total laps ranked first, drawing loud cheers instantly. The principal placed the trophy gently between the two exhausted boys. Evan smiled warmly, squeezing Leo’s shoulder tightly. At that moment, he truly realized victory was never a personal glory. It was the shared trust, perseverance and partnership that made their hard-won triumph the most meaningful one he had ever achieved.

My phone buzzed with a video titled “WARNING: 5 Foods That Are Actually Plastic.” My mother doesn’t offer advice; she issues warnings.
I suspect her phone has declared war on me. Every time she scrolls, the feed whispers to her that my favorite snack is a “poison”. I never challenge her claims, since she trusts a forwarded article more than my college degree.
One day, she was telling me about a fitness contest at her gym, and I started lecturing about body fat percentages. While I was spreading all this wisdom, I was glued to the sofa, extending one leg like a crane to grab the remote with my big toe to avoid sitting up. She was watching me with a blank expression, “If you worked out as hard as you avoided standing up, you would be in great shape now.”
To my face, she’s a critic, but I caught her describing me as a “highly intellectual, talented person” on a call with my aunt. From the next room, I wondered, “Wait, who is she talking about? Am I that person?”
She is the only one allowed to roast her children. It’s a “membership-only” club. Even when she praises me, it’s her way of saying, “I raised this, so of course it’s excellent,” although she just told me five minutes ago that my room looks like a disaster zone.
Despite her warnings, she’s always the first I run to when I need help. Every festival or family event becomes her next design assignment. I send her screenshots of high-fashion looks, like a creative director with impossible demands. She looks at the picture, gives her signature nervous laugh and says, “I’m not a certified fashion designer.” But then she spends hours on the floor with chalk and a measuring tape. She eventually creates her own edition, and somehow, her version turns out better than the original.
And maybe that’s just another way mothers say they love you.
4. Why does the author avoid challenging her mother’s claims?
A. It will hurt her mother’s feelings.
B. She respects her mother’s authority.
C. It is useless to argue with her mother.
D. She believes in warnings from her mother.
5. How does the mother sound in paragraph 3?
A. Deeply annoyed. B. Playfully mean.
C. Genuinely proud. D. Bitterly jealous.
6. What does the “membership-only club” indicate?
A. Only the mother can criticize the author.
B. Family members get automatic membership.
C. The mother only praises the author in private.
D. Club members are encouraged to judge the author.
7. What can be inferred about the mother from paragraph 6?
A. She enjoys assigning festival tasks.
B. She values professional certification.
C. She takes pride in raising a designer.
D. She expresses love through practical acts.
C
About 2,000 years ago, the Roman philosopher Seneca warned of a crisis of attention. The problem wasn’t caused by smartphones but by the growing availability of papyrus (纸莎草纸). As scrolls (卷轴) became more plentiful and wealthy readers had access to more texts than ever before, constantly moving from one scroll to another left their mind unable to stay in one place and spend time with itself.
Today, although the source of distraction has changed, the challenge remains much the same. We often blame technology for our inability to focus, but Seneca would have argued that the real problem lies elsewhere. Constantly jumping from one idea to another prevents deep thinking.
Seneca offered a surprisingly simple solution. Instead of reading as much as possible, choose one meaningful idea each day and stay with it. Think about it repeatedly, connect it with your own experiences and allow it to shape the way you understand the world. According to Seneca, wisdom comes not from collecting ideas but from fully digesting them.
I have followed this practice for many years. One morning, while reading Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich, I was struck by the character’s realization that success and wealth mean little without love, friendship and purpose. I carried that idea with me throughout the day. It gradually reshaped my thinking, inspiring me to reconnect with old friends.
Seneca compared this process to the way bees make honey. Bees do not simply collect nectar (花蜜); they transform it into something richer and longer lasting. Psychologists describe a similar process as deep processing. When we return to the same idea again and again, our brains connect it with personal experience and store it more firmly in long-term memory. Information gradually becomes understanding, and understanding slowly becomes wisdom.
In an age when information is everywhere, many people believe that learning means knowing more. Seneca reminds us that real wisdom comes from slowing down, thinking deeply and allowing meaningful ideas to become part of who we are.
8. What is the papyrus example intended to show?
A. Distraction has long existed. B. Writing materials have changed.
C. Reading was once for the rich. D. Technology in Rome was advanced.
9. What did the practice of “one meaningful idea each day” lead the author to do?
A. Restore old friendships. B. Read more books.
C. Give up the pursuit of wealth. D. Write down daily thoughts.

AI is already a part of childhood. While chatbots stand ready to answer questions like, “Are monsters real?” or “Why is the sky blue?”, companies are racing to embed AI into kids’ toys. Take Teddy, a robotic teddy bear that, more than just a toy, can walk, talk, make decisions, and respond to children’s needs and emotions.
In the new book, Human Raised: Nurturing Connection, Curiosity, & Lifelong Learning in the Age of AI, author Dana Suskind, a professor at the University of Chicago Medical Center, acknowledges that the technology makes sci-fi concepts plausible, offering promise as, for example, a productivity enhancer and time-saver for parents, a monitoring and research tool to collect valuable data on child development, and an interactive instructor helping some kids learn.
But what happens if AI begins replacing the kinds of human interactions that young brains evolved to learn from? Alarms seem to overshadow the conveniences. Suskind cites the research by developmental psychologist Patricia K. Kuhl, who proposed the “social gate” hypothesis (假说) -the idea that children’s brains are biologically wired to learn through social interaction. Studies have shown, for example, that babies learn language much better from a live person than from a screen because social interactions engage the brain in ways passive media do not. The sing-song way parents naturally speak to babies, smiles, gentle touch and back-and-forth exchanges all appear to help open that social gate, facilitating learning and healthy brain development.
“If we want children to be able to think critically, to be able to navigate the human world, we’re going to need to make sure that kids have a distinctly human-raised early childhood,” Suskind insists. AI toy companies, however, have different priorities. While those toys may imitate human interaction, Suskind argues they cannot recreate everything that makes human relationships developmentally valuable.
Human relationships are messy and filled with emotions, which involve misunderstandings, frustration, quarrels, as well as forgiveness and reconnection. Interestingly, Suskind compares AI relationships to ultra-processed food. “If all you eat is fruit snacks, which are a synthetic (合成的) version of fruit, when you actually eat the real fruit, you will be like, ‘Hmm, it’s not quite as sweet,’” she says.
12. What does the underlined word “plausible” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Strikingly popular. B. Increasingly vital. C. Difficult to understand. D. Possible in reality.
13. What does the “social gate” hypothesis help explain?
A. Social interaction is essential to early learning.
B. AI technology is equally helpful in children’s learning.
C. Passive media activate children’s brains for efficient learning.
D. Children are born with the ability to learn from surroundings.
14. What does the comparison with ultra-processed food suggest?
A. AI can interpret rich human emotions.
B. Human relationships seem more attractive to children.
C. AI relationships are an alternative to human interaction.
D. AI relationships may discourage children from real connections.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Are AI toys a perfect choice? B. Is AI defining children’s growth?
C. Who is responsible for childcare? D. How do AI toys change childhood?

When did we start walking for leisure?
“Going for a walk” is a popular pastime among older and younger generations alike because of its well-known benefits for our physical and mental health. But you may be surprised to hear that wandering through pretty streets or hiking in mountainous have not always been considered leisure activities, according to Daniel Gale, a researcher of pedestrianism (步行运动).
____16____ Before that, it was just something people did out of necessity, some of whom even associated it with criminal activity. But for Charles Dickens, the famous English 19th Century author, marching through London streets and tramping around the countryside was a big part of the creative process. ____17____ He walked at an impressive pace of four miles per hour, according to his biography by Peter Ackroyd.
____18____ Perhaps you can take inspiration from another big-thinking wanderer. 19th Century American writer Henry David Thoreau took a slower approach, preferring to stroll over hills and fields and through the woods. He said that he could not preserve his health and spirits without walking at least four hours a day.
This idea of taking a stroll to clear your head has survived through to the 21st Century. But have pedestrian manners remained the same? A 1780 article for the London Magazine advised pedestrians to avoid things such as hanging around in conversation and obstructing people behind you. ____19____
In this modern age, when many of us are tied to our desks and to our screens, try the simple act of stepping out onto the city pavements, or getting lost in nature. ____20____ Whether you see yourself more as a casual stroller or a purposeful strider (阔步者), why not build a habit out of it?
A. What if speed-walking isn’t your thing?
B. This may make all the difference to our wellbeing.
C. Nowadays, we could add distracted phone-users.
D. He brought the recreation of walking into fashion.
E. Going on an urban walk is much more pleasant now.
F. It was a time to absorb what was going on around him.
G. In Britain, walking for fun wasn’t really a thing until the 1780s.

The Weight of Victory
The annual Maplewood Charity Walk was just two weeks away, and this year’s theme was “Stronger Together”. Evan, a two-time defending champion, had every intention of winning the trophy again. However, Principal Miller’s new rule — that all students must walk in pairs — threatened his plan. Evan complained, convinced that being tied to a younger partner would ruin his record.
When the randomly drawn partner list was posted, Evan found himself paired with Leo, a seventh grader. At lunch break, he looked for Leo near the water fountain, only to realize the smaller boy was in a wheelchair. Stunned, Evan wondered how he could keep his champion pace while pushing a chair. To his surprise, during their first practice lap (跑道的一圈), Leo moved forward with surprising upper-body strength, forcing Evan to run just to keep up. They quickly found a rhythm: Leo would signal when his arms were tired, and Evan would take the handles; Evan would call for a break when his legs burned.
On the day of the event, the cool autumn air buzzed with excitement. Principal Miller reminded everyone that the winners would be decided by the number of laps completed as a team, not speed alone within three hours. It meant only laps finished with both partners participating would count toward their final score. As the starting whistle blew, Evan and Leo settled into a steady pace. Two hours passed, and most teams had given up. Just as victory seemed close, disaster struck. Suddenly, Evan tripped on a rough part of the track. He fell hard and felt a sharp pain in his knee as he tried to stand. Pain shot through his leg as he held the wound, looking up at Leo.
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。
Staring at his bleeding knee, Evan felt all hope of winning slip away.

Principal Miller held up the lap cards and announced the result.
