I have been studying the French language for three years. This field of study has been the hardest but most precious of my life. I would put it above the study of writing simply because I started writing as a 6-year-old boy under my mother's guidance. I always "felt" I could write. I did not always "feel" I could study a foreign language effectively.
But here I am, right now, in a French hotel. I spoke French at the border, when I checked in and when I went to get lunch. I fail to speak with fluency. I mishear words. I can't really use complicated grammar. But my words are perfectly understandable and serve their purpose. I feel, as I always do, like I am lost in the dark, but with each misstep, I find my way more clearly. I didn't feel it when reading French novels; I didn't feel it at school. I just felt it when I first arrived Paris.
I'm emphasizing feelings because, when studying, they are as important as any reality. The fear of making mistakes feeds the hopeless and makes learners quit. It is not the study of language that is hard. It is the feelings of who you are at the present level and pessimistic belief of who you will always be that make it hard. The transformation to turn struggles into growth is what truly makes learning a life-changing journey.
Maybe one day, someone will say something to me that I do not understand, and in that moment. I may feel a bit discouraged. But now, I feel a sense of being high. These moments of confidence and motivation are precious, for they remind me of how far I've come. They are not the norm (常态), though. The truth is, the lows are what I encounter more often. They are part of the learning process, part of the transformation that shapes us into better versions of ourselves. And yet, it is through these lows that I am constantly learning and growing.
4. How does the author feel about making mistakes in French
A. Awkward. B. Hopeless. C. Competent. D. Rewarding.
5. Why does the author emphasize feelings
A. To highlight his struggles in learning French.
B. To show that positive thinking can drive growth.
C. To illustrate that people should follow their hearts.
D. To clarify his experience in mindset transformation.
6. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The lows are always followed by highs.
B. Feeling confident should be made a norm.
C. Struggles are an essential part of learning.
D. The ups are the real times when learning occurs.
7. Which statement might the author probably agree with
A. Fail again, fail better. B. Stay grounded, work for greatness.
C. Accept the lows, wait for the chance. D. Be courageous, explore the unknown.
C
After meeting someone for the first time, do you see yourself as a humorous person who heats up the atmosphere Or do you imagine all the ways you may have bored others If you identify with the former description, you are in the minority. Many studies show the average people take a rather low opinion of their conversational abilities and the social impressions they leave when dealing with complicated interpersonal relationship. But on the contrary, chances are that we are often much more amiable than we think.
The mismatch between our thought of our social performance, and others' opinions of us, is known as the "liking gap". It may restrict our ability to form healthy relationships in our personal lives, and also get in the way of beneficial teamwork. Studies conducted by Erica Boothby and Gus Cooney psychologists at the University of Pennsylvania, show that the liking gap may simply arise from too much self reflection. "Too much self reflection causes terrible social experiences We are so busy worrying about the impression we've given and analyzing every tiny thing that we might have said wrong, for example, a slip in tongue - that we don't notice someone's encouraging smile or the warmth in their eyes," says Cooney.
"When you're very young, you might just assume that if someone's nice to me, then they actually feel that way about me," says Boothby. But as we get older, however, we start to realize that people may cover up their annoyance or boredom. "There's more uncertainty in relating someone's actions to how they actually feel about you." As a result, as adults, we second-guess others' reactions.
A little self-awareness can, of course, be healthy. "It could make sense for me to call out some of my mistakes, so that I could correct them next time," says Cooney. But many of us are far too pessimistic. And these judgement prevent us from connecting with people who may really appreciate us. So next time, don't beat yourself up. Just walk up and have a lighthearted talk.
8. What does the underlined word "amiable" in paragraph I probably mean
A. Brilliant. B. Loose-tongued. C. Tight-lipped. D. Likeable
9. According to Cooney, what might too much self-reflection cause
A. A terrible impression. B. A defensive interaction.
C. Unnecessary self-criticism. D. Unrealistic self-expectations.
10. What makes adults second-guess others' reactions, according to paragraph 3
A. The fear of being misunderstood.
B. The awareness of social complexity.
C. The mismatch between promises and actions.
D. The differences between cultural backgrounds.
11. Which statement will the author probably agree with
A. Go easy on people around you.
B. Avoid unpleasant comments on others.
C. Stop underestimating your social skills.
D. Engage thoughtfully and respond appropriately
D
Large Language Models (LLMs)are artificial intelligence systems designed to process and generate natural language. Trained on large datasets, they can perform tasks like translation, summarization, and academic writing. However, their use comes with challenges and risks.
One major issue with LLMs is "hallucination", where the model produces summaries that sound convincing but are based on unreliable or incorrect data. For instance, in 2023, researcher sat the University of California used an LLM to assist with a drug research review. However, the model cited journals and articles that appeared credible but were entirely fabricated, leading there searchers to withdraw their paper during the peer review(同行评审) process.
David Leslie, a professor at Queen Mary University of London, highlights another significant challenge: "The LLM operates like a black box, with its internal workings hidden, making it hard to understand how outputs are generated, raising concerns about its reliability-even when results seem accurate." Without insight into how the LLM reaches its conclusions, users cannot be sure whether the outputs are based on solid data, increasing the potential for errors or unintended consequences.
Another problem with LLMs is their reliance on historical data, which can lead to biases(偏见). For example, in IT hiring, if the model is trained on data where most employees were male, it may unintentionally favor male candidates. The model simply learns from past patterns without understanding why they exist or questioning whether they are reasonable, potentially deepening outdated trends and overlooking factors like diversity goals or current qualifications. This can result in unfair outcomes for women and other underrepresented groups.
While LLMs can process data and generate responses, they lack the ability to analyze, evaluate, and make independent decisions. In contrast, humans can use logic, context, and experience to solve complex problems and make informed choices. Therefore, LLMs should be seen as an enhancement, not a replacement for human judgment.
12. Why did researchers at the University of California withdraw their paper
A. They cited non-existent data. B. They made up research results.
C. They presented over-simplified research. D. They put forward miscalculated statistics.
13. Why does David Leslie describe the LLM as a black box
A. Its decision-making is invisible. B. Its reasoning process is data-based.
C. It can process complicated datasets. D. It may generate incorrect information.
14. Which aspect of LLMs does paragraph 4 mainly focus on
A. Its dependence on IT experts. B. Its lack of critical assessment
C. Its inability to learn from history D. Its preference for professional candidates.
15. What could be the best title for the text
A. LLMs: Reliable or Risky B. LLMs: The Future or a Passing Trend
C. LLMs for Researchers: Friends or Enemies D. LLMs in Science: Enhancement or Decline
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Creative writing has no written formula(公式) and no strict laws.16___________Therefore, we have more freedom to express ideas, thoughts and imagination in creative writing. But it doesn't mean creative writing needs no techniques. Follow these tips if you want to boost your creativity and improve the way you write.
Always be writing
You never know what will inspire your writing. Keep a notepad or download a notes app to your personal device so you can record any ideas you have.
Embrace rewriting.
Even the greatest writer rarely gets it right in the first draft. 18___________ Or, in some cases, start over. Storytelling and word building take a lot of time and thought, and only through rewriting will you be able to craft a version that works best.
Know your audience.
Ask yourself whether this story is for your creative writing students or a wider population. Maybe you are a novelist with a specific readership. Maybe you are an academic writer trying to break into the young adult market. 19___________ It's essential to know your audience, narrow down the tone and work in ways that appeal to your target audience.
Show Don't Tell.
This is an effective tool and a useful rule for all writers. Fiction is for entertainment, so entertain your readers! 20___________ Let them see, hear, feel and smell. Show them what is happening through details, facial expressions and images, rather than simply telling them.
A. Make them feel amused by your story.
B. It is all about originality and creativity.
C. Anyone can make great creative writing.
D. Give them a vivid picture of what you have created.
E. Don't be afraid to reedit and erase what doesn't work.
F. Don't ignore the random ideas that pop into your head.
G. It's rare for a piece of writing to appeal to all the people.

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。
We have been educated that we have a short life, so we'd better __21__ as many things as possible by pushing, or even forcing, ourselves to a tight schedule. Then, we could lead a fulfilling life.
However, sometimes, the more productive we are the more __22__ we might be. Be __23__ about a phenomenon called the "productivity trap(陷阱)”. Believe it or not, we would do far better to __24__ if we are to make the most of our life.

But each email you send brings further __27__ and more work to complete. __28__, the messages pile up again.
Psychologists suggest trying "have done list", the __29__ of the "to do list". Instead of starting out __30__ each morning, "have done list" fills up with tasks you completed yesterday. It gives you a greater sense of __31__ by recording your workload rather than stressing things you have yet to __32__.
Avoiding the productivity trap does not mean __33__ tasks on purpose or working less efficiently. Instead, it's about finding a balance between personal efficiency and __34__.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。第二节（满分25分）
Mum and Matt lived in the country next to a forest. Every weekend, they took walks through the forest.
But everything changed after Mum found a new job in the city. They said goodbye to the trees and birds and moved to an apartment far from nature. They went to the park, but there were lots of people. It was hard to hear the birds when everybody was talking and laughing.
One afternoon, there was a knock on their door. It was Mrs. Potter, their elderly neighbour. She was holding a large, potted tree. "I'm trying to bring this bonsai(盆栽) home, but it's too heavy for me," said Mrs. Potter with a warm smile.
"Glad to help," replied Mum.
"It's beautiful." said Matt, looking at it with admiration. "It reminds me of the forest back home."
When Mrs. Potter opened the door to her apartment, Matt was surprised. It wasn't a typical apartment at all. It was a tiny forest! The trees were carefully placed in a pot, their branches filling the space with a sense of nature. As Mum placed the bonsai, Matt's attention was drawn to a berry-covered tree on the balcony(阳台). He saw a blackbird hopped(跳) onto it, picking at the berries. Matt watched in wonder. It had been so long since he'd seen a bird so close.
"We can still have trees in the city," Mum said. "Although they are a little bit different from the ones in the countryside."
"And where there are trees, there are birds, too." Matt replied softly, giving a thoughtful nod.
Mrs. Potter smiled. "Exactly, Matt. These bonsai helps bring nature closer to us, wherever we live."
Matt felt like the bonsai and the blackbird had made a home inside his heart, bringing a sense of peace to his urban life, in a new, unexpected form.
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。
"Would you like to take care of the trees here "Mrs. Potter suggested. One day, when watering trees with Mrs. Potter, Matt noticed the blackbird again.
