Ladakh, in the trans-Himalayas, with its vast, uninhabited and stunning landscapes, has fascinated me since my first visit 20 years ago. In 2011, my fifth time in Ladakh, the region's raw beauty held an entirely different pull—one that seemed to hum with an ancient energy, a force I hadn't noticed before.
In the very bones of the land lay a collection of prehistoric carvings known as petroglyphs, the only remains of prehistoric human presence in the area. Seeing these carvings, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was witnessing something far deeper than I had imagined. There was an urgency to document them, as centuries-old carvings were being destroyed under the pressures of development. As a mountain enthusiast always seeking adventures, this attractive art drew me in, like a moth to a flame, beginning a decade-long journey of discovery and documentation.
These markings were not just carvings on rock but reflections of an ancient culture we know little about. Despite tough living conditions, these huntergatherers still found ways to convey their beliefs and observations through highly stylized forms, reflecting the deep artistic desire that has always been a part of the human—long before the rise of civilized society. As artist and anthropologist Desmond Morris put it, "It is as if the human species were incapable of being artless regardless of material circumstances."
To bring these open-air art galleries to a wider audience, I wanted to create something that had not been attempted before by using specialized photography techniques with my focus being on distribution, styles and creative range. It was no small matter, given the vastness of Ladakh, my ambition to capture art from every region, the limited windows of opportunity, and the harsh conditions I faced. Not to mention, all my trips were personally funded. When the book—Speaking Stones: Rock Art of Ladakh—was named a finalist for the Banff Mountain Book Award in 2024, I was honored, but the recognition was secondary. My true reward was a deeper connection with time and nature through a vast unbroken string, binding us all together.
24. What drove the author to document the petroglyphs
A. The threat of regional progress. B. The appeal of amazing scenery.
C. A search for thrilling experiences. D. A childhood bond with ancient art.
25. What can we learn from Morris's quote in paragraph 3
A. Art is the mirror of nature. B. Art inspires human wisdom.
C. Art is deeply rooted in humans. D. Art can't exist without materials.
26. Which can best describe the process of creating the book
A. Systematic. B. Brain-tearing. C. Painstaking. D. Eventful.
27. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Tasting the Past: The Analysis of Petroglyph
B. Written in Stone: Ladakh's Timeless Artistry
C. Guarding the Rocks: A Saver of Ladakh's Heritage
D. Carved by Time: A Record of Himalayan Geography
C
Understanding a simple-looking English sentence such as "I read this article yesterday" actually requires some complicated conceptual computation: a subject ("I") performed an action ("read") on an object ("article") at a specific time ("yesterday"). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly at once based on the language's grammatical rules, says linguist Andrea E. Martin. And Martin's team has now found that the human brain can accommodate fundamental grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence.
For a recent study in PLOS Biology, the researchers observed variations in Dutch-speaking participants' brain waves while they listened to a Dutch-language audiobook. To visualize these changes, the scientists used a metric (指标) quantifying how many new "predictions" the brain makes of words that could come next in a sentence. This framework was then tested against three different parsing (语法分析的) strategies, or linguistic models that illustrate how the brain builds information over time.
Previous English-based studies with a similar setup concluded in favor of a model where listeners "wait and see" how each phrase in a sentence will end before interpreting it. But the Dutch speakers in Martin's·study leaned strongly toward a highly predictive model; participants tended to finish each phrase in their head preemptively before it was complete. (A third model, in which listeners wait to hear all of the phrases in a sentence before interpreting any part of it, is seldom used in either language.)
In Dutch language structure, verbs come near the end of a sentence rather than immediately after the subject like they do in English, while in Korean, the subject is usually left out and in Arabic verbs often come first. So flexibility is vital in processing different languages simply because they have different properties.
The findings support the need for scientists to include more diversity when crafting linguistic models. "This is going to help us capture how the brain is understanding the structured meaning of language, and the social application of language," Martin says. "There's so much yet to be understood in the brain."
28. Why does the author cite the example in paragraph 1
A. To introduce a grammar rule.
B. To analyze an English sentence.
C. To bring in a new research finding.
D. To stress the complexity of human brain.
29. What does the underlined word "preemptively" in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. By accident. B. In advance. C. On time. D. By mistake.
30. Which sentence can match the Dutch language structure
A. Universe the about documentary saw.
B. Saw I a documentary about the universe.
C. I saw a documentary about the universe.
D. I a documentary about the universe saw.
31. What does Martin try to stress in the last paragraph
A. The challenges of brain researches.
B. The application of the present findings.
C. The purposes of different linguistic models.
D. The necessity to diversify subjects in studies.
D
Recently, a friend asked for help with a tricky problem: they were staging a play, and the script had a large number of characters. They didn't want to hire an actor for each role, and while they could double up, they would run into problems if the same actor were playing two characters in a scene. Luckily, I was the right person to come to for help. There's a versatile (通用的) piece of maths—graph colouring—that's effective at solving many such problems, from casting a play to timetable scheduling.
Mathematicians are often particularly interested in graph colouring, which involves assigning a colour to each point of a graph-networks of points joined by lines, so that any two points joined with a line are assigned different colours. Finding the minimum number of colours needed to do this can tell us something useful about the graph's structure. For example, a graph with a triangle of points all joined to a fourth point in the centre will need at least four colours to fill it in.
One of my favourite uses of graph colouring is in scheduling problems: imagine a set of students, with a shared set of classes. We can draw a graph, indicating each class by a point,and join two points if those classes have any students taking both (so they can't happen at the same time). Then, we find a way to colour the graph using the fewest possible colours. The minimum number of colours will tell us how many timetables periods we will need: each colour represents a set of classes with no overlap in students, so they can all happen simultaneously (同时地).
This may tell you how I solved my friend's problem: I suggested they draw a graph, represent each character with a point, and join two characters with a line if they appeared in any scenes together. Colouring this graph minimally then told them exactly how many actors they would need to stage the play. Another victory for maths—on with the show!
32. What worried the author's friend most
A. The lack of towering actors. B. The numerous scene changes.
C. The tight budget for costumes. D. The scene conflicts of the same actor.
33. Which of the following best illustrates the example in paragraph 2
A. B.
C. D.
B: Blue G: Green R: Red Y: Yellow
34. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3
A. Clarify an assumption. B. Present an application.
C. Introduce an approach. D. Analyze a phenomenon.
35. How does the author sound in the last paragraph
A. Proud. B. Serious. C. Hesitant. D. Authoritative.

When you log into social media, does an algorithm (算法) govern your feed When shopping online, do you often focus on top-listed, AI-suggested items If you answer "Yes", most of the time, you go along with what the algorithm recommends. 36 As the name suggests, the term refers to our growing tendency to outsource decisions to systems designed to predict and control our behavior.
Now, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with accepting algorithmic suggestions. 37 But like water slowly carving stone, repeated reliance on AI recommendations can weaken our capacity for independent judgement and even our sense of self. Over time, such reliance not only affects the quality of our choices but also undermines our ability to trust our own judgements.
38 It is the capacity to make intentional choices and take purposeful action. Exercising it requires that we actively shape ourselves through thoughtful choices, rather than being passively shaped by algorithms, social norms, or external pressures.
To achieve this, practicing intentional pauses proves workable. That is, before accepting a recommendation, pause and ask, "Would I have made this choice on my own " 39 For example, when you're on YouTube, autoplay goes to another video. Instead of watching mindlessly, you pause and realize you're not truly interested. You close the app and go for a walk instead, following your inner voice over automation.
To be human is to choose. It is to exercise the human capacity for intentional action, the ability we have been given to be the authors of our own lives. As AI becomes more integrated in our lives, we must actively preserve our decision-making capacities. 40
A. That is how we remain human.
B. So, it's time to reclaim human agency.
C. In many cases, they save us considerable time.
D. The aim of this question is to stay open to algorithm.
E. This short reflection brings awareness to your decisions.
F. Psychologists term this common practice "algorithmic dependence".
G. An algorithm is a set of defined rules you follow to get a specific result.

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。
Twelve-year-old Tina often ignored advice from her parents and insisted she was always right. She usually bossed her brother and sister around and was mean to her friends. As a result, her personality drove them away because no one could tolerate her behaviour.
Tina's arrogance (傲慢) often landed her in trouble. Whenever her father, an experienced mathematics teacher, tried to give her some advice, she would roll her eyes and reply only that she did not need his help. Her father would sigh in resignation. Tina would then stay up late to complete her homework and often overslept the next morning. Although she usually managed to submit it, she would be punished for reporting late to school. At times, she would be sent off class.
Tina's arrogance also annoyed her coach. At a particularly intense training session, her Track and Field coach offered her guidance, pointing out ways to improve her running technique. Habitually, Tina refused to take his advice. Not long after, she felt a sharp pain in her knee. "I will prove Coach wrong! I am sure my method is the right one!" Tina thought to herself. However, as she continued to run, the pain intensified, and soon enough, she had to drag her feet through every step she took. Even when her teammate Sarah told her not to overdo it, she brushed her off, saying, "Mind your own business." At that, the coach shook his head disapprovingly. He could not understand why Tina insisted on her ways.
Later that night, the pain in the knee kept her awake. As she lay in bed, she found it impossible to find a comfortable position. It was painful every time she moved. It was then that she realized the consequences of her opinionatedness. She had never listened to her coach and her teammates. She realized that she had no friends to seek comfort from. Tina sobbed uncontrollably as this thought raced through her mind. How desperately she needed someone to talk to!
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。
At that very moment, Tina's mother appeared, looking concerned.

My Impressive Smart Library Experience
Last week, I stepped into our school's brand-new smart library, which was like entering a realm where technology and knowledge intertwine. I literally gasped!
A cheerful robot greeted me, instantly pinpointing the history book I wanted with a simple scan of my phone. Checking out A breeze just a quick facial scan, and I was out the door! The E-Reading Room blew my mind. Gigantic screens displayed the latest research papers, and I could" tum" pages by waving my hand, as if by magic. But the VR zone stole the show: I "walked" through bustling ancient Rome, "held" 3D relics in my hands, and even debated philosophy with virtual scholars. Learning suddenly felt like a thrilling adventure!
This library isn't just smart-it's a game-changer. Who needs a boring weekend when you can dive into endless worlds here
第二节
One possible version:
At that very moment, Tina's mother appeared, looking concerned. She knelt beside the bed, pressing a cold cloth to Tina's swollen knee, her eyes worried. "Your coach called," she whispered, wiping a tear from Tina's cheek. "He said you ignored his advice." Tina winced-the pain in her knee mirrored the guilt in her chest. Her mother's voice softened, "Real strength isn't proving others wrong. It's letting others care." Just then memories surged: Sarah's warnings, her father's sighs, all because of her arrogance. "I've been so stubborn," Tina choked out, trembling. Her mother pulled her close. "Then we'll fix it together," she said, holding her in a tight hg.
Recognizing the need to change, Tina decided to do something. The next day, she limped to the track field before practice. "Coach," she began, voice shaky, "I'm sorry I dismissed your expertise." His stern expression melted into a nod while handing her an ice pack. At lunch, Tina approached Sarah. "I'm sorry I pushed you away. Help me " Sarah's smile bloomed instantly. "Always." That evening. Tina hesitantly knocked on her father's studydoor. "Dad… can you explain this math problem " His surprised grin warmed her heart. For the first time, Tina realized: accepting help wasn't weakness-it was a catalyst, dissolving her arrogance into steady growth.

M: You went on that diving trip, didn't you How was it
W: It was hard to say. The diving suit made my skin very uncomfortable. What was worse, three sharks swam up close to me while I was watching the sea plants.
M: Terrifying, wasn't it
W: So it was. As a result, I spent the rest of my holiday out of the water. What about you Did you take your usual vacation
M: Yes, but I actually fell in love with extreme sports. I went rock climbing every weekend during the two months.
W: Had a pretty good time, did you
M: You could say that. And I think the real high spot was the bungee jumping. That was extremely great.
W: You're one of those people who loves heights aren't you
M: Oh yeah. They don't bother me at all. I'll learn surfing next year.
W: Maybe I should do that. Anything's got to be better than swimming with sharks. Why don't you share your experience with others and post some pictures on your social platform What you do may be beneficial to others.

M: Hello, Nancy. I know you are one of a few female taxi drivers in the city and you drive for a living. What made you want to be a taxi driver in the first place
W: I remembered the first time when I saw those taxi drivers dressed so neatly in their uniforms as a kid, and I thought driving was really cool. When I finally learned to drive, it was something I greatly enjoyed and I took pride in driving well.
M: So what's the best part of your job
W: I can see this city changes from season to season because the job is being outdoors. And there is scenery I would probably never have seen in another job. I love all kinds of weather. I like to leave the window down in a fine rain, when I have a long drive, and maybe at the end of the day. I sometimes go past my home to tell my two little children I'll be home soon, when they always want to come along in my car.
M: I guess all kids like to be taken for a ride sometimes.
W: Yes, but I cannot take them with me. So I have to pay the fares for them sometimes, and take them out in my taxi, because I really think it is fun to drive out to the countryside for a long drive, with the fresh air and sun shining.

M: While there are a number of first-aid boxes on the market, they often lack some things you need or have other things that you don't need. Instead of buying such a first-aid box, you can save money and get everything you need in the box by creating your own. Select a small box or bag, which is light and can hold all of your first-aid materials. This is of particular importance if you need it while you are taking a trip away from home. Separate your first-aid box or bag into two sections. One section should include all of your basic medical supplies, such as bandages, while the second one should include medicine. Make sure that your box contains important basic medicine. There should be enough for your family or group, which means that the larger your family or groups is, the more medicine you need in your first-aid box. When it comes to bandages and other lightweight items, the more the better. Keep other necessary things in your first-aid box as well. For example, if someone in your family has high blood pressure, the first-aid box is a great place to keep blood pressure medicine, in case there is an emergency when you are far from medical help. You might also put emergency phone numbers, snake bite medicine or other items into your first-aid box.
