B Every child in our neighborhood whispered about the Christmas Witch-a strange elderly woman who kept Christmas decorations all year long:a twinkling tree,candy canes glowing in the windows.The rumor was that they were a trap,meant to attract children close enough to steal.I swore I'd never go near-until I turned fourteen and got a newspaper route that ended at her doorstep."Just deliver it.She won't bother you,"my mother said. On my first morning,a dark,windy March dawn,I reached her house.The porch (lay in shadow.I tiptoed to place the newspaper down and tried to flee,yet I slipped on an icy step and hurt my ankle badly,unable to walk.The porch light was on,with the door open.The Christmas Witch emerged."I'm sorry-"I stammered. "Dear me.Are you alright?"Her smile wasn't evil,but warm,concerned.She guided me inside,pressed a steaming mug of tea into my hands and dialed my mother. "Call me the Christmas Witch,"she whispered,amused,when I addressed her as Mrs.Wright."I hear what people say.It doesn't matter.""Why do you keep the decorations up?"I asked. She took a long breath."Years ago,my son Anthony was drafted.He called me on New Year's Eve,asking me to leave the Christmas decorations up-he'd help me take them down when coming home.Three days later,he was killed in a helicopter crash.He never made it back.I suppose I like pretending he'll walk through that door any day." I felt small.She wasn't a witch.She was a mother holding onto a ghost.Over the next few years,I'd wave or stop to chat.She never felt like the Christmas Witch again.Her story stayed with me-a quiet reminder:Be a little less quick to judge,and a little more willing to understand the grief behind someone's strangeness. 24.Why did the author have to go to the Christmas Witch's house? A.He was curious about her decorations. B.He had a newspaper delivery job. C.His mother asked him to visit her. D.He wanted to prove the rumors wrong. 25.What can we learn about Mrs.Wright?

D.She never talked to the neighborhood children. 26.Which of the following best describes the author's attitude toward Mrs.Wright? A.Fearful and sympathetic. B.Curious and indifferent. C.Annoyed and grateful. D.Suspicious and angry. 英语第3页共8页 27.What is the main message the author wants to convey through this story? A.Old habits die hard B.Every cloud has a silver lining. C.Don't judge a book by its cover. D.War brings grief to every fireside. Whether at practice or during a match,football players could unknowingly be putting their brain health at risk. Studies suggest that retired players have a higher risk of developing dementia(),particularly Alzheimer's disease,compared to the general population. It is currently thought that this increased risk is partly driven by performing one particular skill:heading the ball.Research testing the effects of repeated heading impacts during training or games has found immediate short-term changes in markers of brain health.These include reduced cognitive (function,lower capacity to control brain blood flow,and increases in blood biomarkers indicating neural (damage.Furthermore, players with a history of heading the ball are found to have reduced brain blood vessel function. Proving that this skill directly causes dementia remains difficult,partly because detecting subtle changes in brain function is considerably challenging.Football heading rarely causes visible symptoms of traumatic brain injury,meaning small changes may go undetected until significant harm has already occurred. Operating on the assumption that there is no safe limit,the Football Association has banned heading in youth matches for children under 12 and recommended limitations for those under 18.Nevertheless,these regulations are somewhat subjective and do little to protect professional players who might head the ball every practice or match. While banning heading could be viewed as the most effective risk-reduction strategy,the skill remains an essential component within football for over a century.Consequently,further research is vital for understanding head-impact exposure from both performance and health perspectives.Improving safety rules could also involve rethinking the equipment used.Because a ball's material strongly affects the transfer of energy to the brain, developing safer playing balls or employing virtual reality in training could offer developing players an opportunity to refine their technique without assuming undue risk. 28.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A.Research results that repeated heading harms brain health. B.Reasons why retired players get Alzheimer's disease C.Differences between amateur and pro players. D.Injuries caused by crashes in matches. 29.Why is it hard to prove that heading directly causes dementia? A.Because most players hide their medical history. B.Because dementia only appears in retired players. C.Because there is no equipment to test brain blood flow. D.Because heading seldom leads to noticeable signs of brain injury. 30.What can be inferred about the current regulations on heading for youth players? A.They are based on solid scientific proof of a safe limit. B.They effectively prevent professional players from getting hurt. C.They are considered insufficient to fully address the risk D.They encourage young players to practise heading more often. 31.What is suggested in the last paragraph? A.Heading will be banned for everyone. B.Research should balance skills and safety. C.VR must replace all football training. D.New balls can remove all brain risks. 英语第4页共8页 D How much should managers let AI do the thinking?Calculators didn't make everyone number-blind,and GPS didn't ruin drivers'sense of direction.In conversations about AI's cognitive effects,these technologies serve as useful comparisons.Both involve"cognitive offloading"-deliberately assigning specific tasks to technology-and both bring clear benefits.Calculators improve mathematical performance;GPS helps drivers avoid traffic and reduces map-reading struggles. However,costs exist.In a 2019 paper,Mark LaCour of the University of Louisiana programmed calculators to give wrong answers to undergraduates.Most accepted the errors unquestioningly,even when results were obviously absurd.Similarly,heavy GPS use correlates with poorer spatial memory.Pedestrians navigating by phone take longer routes and make more unnecessary stops.Online search reveals a similar trade-off:people have worse recall of information they expect to be able to find online. AI intensifies these trade-offs.Unlike calculators or GPS,AI offers vast capabilities through a conversational interface and a confident persona,raising the prospect of"cognitive surrender".The term,coined by Steven Shaw of the Wharton School,describes a state where people stop thinking independently.In Shaw's experiment,volunteers answered demanding questions with AI assistance.When the AI was accurate,users outperformed a control group. But when researchers secretly inserted errors,AI users performed far worse than those relying solely on their own judgment.They had surrendered their critical thinking. Currently,managers focus more on encouraging AI adoption than worrying about its cognitive impact.Yet critical thinking remains vital,since AI still makes embarrassing mistakes and novel situations demand human skill. What can managers do?First,hire people who enjoy thinking.Those with a high "need for cognition"are somewhat protected against cognitive surrender.Second,monetary rewards for correct answers,and immediate feedback encourage AI users to overturn the model's wrong suggestions.Third,engineering AI-free periods proves valuable.A study of over 200 chess students found that those with unlimited on-demand AI tips achieved less than half the progress of peers who received AI help only at predetermined moments. 32.Why does the author mention calculators and GPS in the text? A.To show these tools have replaced human thinking. B.To illustrate the concept of cognitive offloading. C.To criticize people's overdependence on modern technology. D.To prove Al is fundamentally different from earlier inventions 33.What does the underlined word trade-off"in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A.Fair exchanges of goods B.A balanced mix of old and new. C.Balancing gains against losses. D.A complete replacement of manual work. 34.What can we infer about the experiment by Shaw? A.AI users always performed better than the control group. B.Participants trusted AI more when it occasionally made mistakes. C.People tended to stop thinking critically when AI provided wrong answers. D.Monetary rewards failed to improve participants'judgment performance. 35.What is the best title of the text? A.Cognitive Surrender:When AI Does the Thinking B.AI Application:A Double-edged Sword C.Managers'Dilemma:To Adopt AI or Not D.Number-blind:Lessons from Calculators 英语第5页共8页 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 While traditional stereotypes describe young people as party-goers surrounded by loud music and alcohol,Gen Z is actively challenging these outdated images.Instead,they are living a"softer"lifestyle.36 Shaped by extended separation during COVID-19,a deep sense of disconnection defines this generation.37 52%of Gen Zers in the US and 60%in the UK report persistent feelings of loneliness.Some have even turned to posting desperate "friendship applications"online to forge connections.However,discovering that digital interactions offer little relief,many are reviving hobbies once favored by older generations. 38 Data from Sport England reveals that participation in mountain walking has jumped by 40%since 2015-the highest growth rate among all activities surveyed.This trend dominates social media as well;on TikTok, the hashtag #hiking accompanies over 4.1 million videos.As Gen Z's appreciation for nature strengthens,these posts continue to gain popularity and influence. This movement is exemplified by"Overground",a hiking group founded by 24-year-old Jeb Jagne.Initially, Jagne simply reached out online to find walking companions.39 Hundreds of peers expressed a desire to walk,talk,and blow off some steam. According to a Gen Z researcher,hiking booms because it satisfies the needs of meaningful social connection and mental wellness without pressing tight budgets.In the current cost-of-living crisis,it serves as a crucial safe shelter,with many youngsters comparing it to a form of therapy ().40 For a generation exhausted by being long time online,hiking offers a literal and figurative breath of fresh air. A.To his surprise,the response was enormous. B.Recent surveys highlight the severity of the issue. C.Hiking has emerged as a powerful cure for this loneliness. D.Of course,the amazing visuals for social media content are an added bonus. E.Many experts argue that this trend will soon fade as the weather turns colder. F.For those looking to escape the crowds,solo night hiking presents another option. G.It is a shift now profoundly influencing how they travel,work,and spend their leisure time. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 "I never thought sweeping leaves could become a full-time passion,"says Daniel Mercer,a 34-year-old professional leaf artist whose works have appeared in parks across Canada.Daniel's journey began by 41.He used to work as a junior designer.One autumn afternoon,feeling burnt out,he stepped 42 and arranged red maple leaves into a pattern on the pavement.Passers-by stopped to take photos and a local newspaper reported about his creations."That attention changed everything,"Daniel recalls."I 43 my job soon and spent hours experimenting with folding techniques."

As they entered the narrow cave entrance,the sunlight quickly faded.The walls echoed with the sound of dripping water,and the air grew damp and chilly.Lucas clung tightly to the sides of the kayak,eyes wide with both excitement and nervousness.About twenty meters inside,Emma noticed the current growing stronger.Suddenly,a powerful wave surged from behind,slamming their kayak against a rock wall.The impact flipped the boat instantly. Both Emma and Lucas were thrown into the icy water. Emma surfaced immediately and grabbed the overturned kayak,pulling Lucas close to her.But the cave was pitch-dark now,and the rising tide was pushing them further into the narrowing passage.Their life jackets kept them afloat,yet the sharp rocks beneath the surface made it impossible to stand.Emma tried to paddle back toward the entrance using her hands,but the outgoing current was too strong.Worse still,their waterproof phone pouch (had been torn loose,and they had no way to contact the coast guard. "Mom,I'm scared,"Lucas whispered,his voice trembling.Emma held him tighter,forcing a calm expression despite the panic in her chest.They called out again and again.After what felt like an eternity,Emma's arms began to ache from clinging to the kayak.The water was getting colder,and the cave seemed to grow darker.She wondered how long they could hold on before hypothermia (set in.Just then,a beam of light appeared at the cave entrance. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右： (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Through the dim light,Emma spotted a figure approaching with a flashlight. Two hours later,sitting in the warm rescue boat,Emma hugged Lucas tightly. 英语第8页共8页
