The storm swallowed the horizon whole. Waves like blackened teeth bit at the broken boat,each crash sending shakes through Marco’s water-filled boots. Salt covered his eyelids,but he kept them narrowly open — to blink was to give in to the dark.
Three days without sleep. The compass lay somewhere at the bottom of this floating coffin,but north meant nothing here between walls of water that rose taller than church towers.
His fingers,blue and sore,still gripped the tiller (舵柄). A child’s hands,the fishermen had laughed when he’d signed on. Sixteen winters didn’t make a man,they said. Let them see him now. Let them watch as he pressed his hip against the rocking wood,taking the sea’s blows like boxer absorbing hits. Every wave that didn’t kill the boat fed his resolve.
No food. No charts. Just the knife at his belt and the stubborn rhythm of his heart pounding “alive,alive,alive” against ribs (肋骨) that ached with each breath,
When the wave came — the mountain,the killer,the thing without mercy — Marco didn’t pray. Prayer required hope,and hope was a currency the sea didn’t honor. Instead,he bent his knees as Old Tomas had taught him. “You don’t fight the water,boy,” the grey-haired sailor had said,tobacco flavouring his words. “You let it think it’s winning until it gets bored. ”
The deck disappeared beneath him. Cold knifed into his lungs. For three seconds,he was nothing but a grain of sand in God’s boot.
Then the boat rose to the surface like a dying whale,and Marco was still there. Still holding. Still bleeding. Still being.
He laughed then,a sound torn between madness and victory. The storm hadn’t killed him yet.
And if it hadn’t,it wouldn’t.
24.What does the underlined phrase “this floating coffin” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.The sea. B.The boat. C.The compass. D.The boot.
25.What can be inferred about Marco from Paragraph 3
A.His physical pain discouraged him from operating the boat.
B.His determination grew with each survival challenge.
C.His inexperience was ignored by the fishermen.
D.His youth left him at the mercy of storms.
26.How did Marco survive the killer wave
A.He followed Tomas’s advice. B.He fought the water directly.
C.He abandoned the tiller. D.He prayed for rescue.
27.Which of the following best reflects Marco’s smallness in the face of nature
A.Waves like blackened teeth. (Paragraph 1) B.Boxer absorbing hits. (Paragraph 3)
C.A grain of sand in God’s boot. (Paragraph 6) D.A dying whale. (Paragraph 7)

Here’s an all-too-familiar situation: You packed the night before for your week-long beach trip with enthusiasm. Luckily,you remembered all the essentials: socks,underwear and a phone charger,etc. But upon arrival,you realized that you had forgotten to grab your toothbrush. Actually,you can avoid this sort of awkwardness next time by using electronic devices,including smartphones.
In a new study,researchers suggest that offloading important to-do items for example by setting reminders on your phone could bring glad tidings to less important items like your toothbrush. This practice can free up your memory for additional minor things.
To demonstrate this,researchers developed a memory game to be played on a touchscreen computer. The test was undertaken by 158 volunteers aged between 18 and 71. Participants were shown up to 12 numbered circles on the screen,and had to remember to drag some of these to the left and some to the right. The number of circles that they remembered to drag to the correct side determined their rewards at the end of the experiment. One side was designated (指定) “high value”,meaning that remembering to drag a circle to this side was worth 10 times as much money as remembering to drag a circle to the other side.
Participants performed this task 16 times. They had to use their own memory to remember for half of the trials and they were allowed to set reminders on the digital devices for the other half. The researchers found that participants tended to use the digital devices to store details of the high-value circles. And,when they did so,their memory for those circles was improved by 18%. “What is unexpected is that their memory for low-value circles was also improved by 27%,even in people who had never set any reminders for low-value circles,” said senior author,Sam Gilbert.
However,when the researchers took those reminders away,the participants remembered the low-value circles better than the high-value ones. “We need to be careful when backing up the most important information — if a memory tool fails,we could be left with nothing but lower-importance information in our own memory,” Gilbert concluded.
28.What can be inferred from the situation described in paragraph 1
A.Our memory is easy to decline.
B.Our memory is inaccurate occasionally.
C.Our memory has an order of importance.
D.Our memory has a preference for familiar things.
29.Which of the following can replace “bring glad tidings to” underlined in paragraph 2
A.Add up to. B.Take advantage of.
C.Be favorable to. D.Be dependent on.
30.Which part of the findings surprised the researchers
A.People tend to prioritize resource-consuming tasks.
B.Digital reminders harm our brain ability if used improperly.
C.People offload high-value information on to external memory
D.Digital reminders also enhance memory for low-value content.
31.What may Gilbert advise us to do
A.Have a change of memory tools regularly.
B.Never rely too much on external memory aids.
C.Remember to choose memory tools that suit us fine.
D.Learn to sort high-value items from low-value ones.
D
When Jagadish Mahendran heard about his friend’s daily challenges navigating as a blind person,he immediately thought of his artificial intelligence work.
“For years I had been teaching robots to see things,” he said. Mahendran,a computer vision researcher at the University of Georgia’s Institute for Artificial Intelligence,found it ironic that he had helped develop machines — including a shopping robot that could “see” stocked shelves and a kitchen robot — but nothing for people with low or no vision.
After exploring existing technology for blind and low vision people like camera-enabled canes or GPS-connected smart-phone apps,he came up with a backpack-based AI design that uses cameras to provide instantaneous alerts.
“The camera data is processed right away as it’s captured,” he said.
That data makes it to a Bluetooth-enabled earphone that warns the user of any obstructions or route changes. Along with a backpack,the user also has to wear a vest and fanny pack,which houses the AI equipment,sensors,camera,and GPS.
Currently,the vest includes hidden Intel sensors and a front-facing camera,while the backpack and fanny pack house a small computing unit (运算单元) and power source. The Luxonis OAK-D unit,located in the vest and fanny pack,is an AI device that processes camera data almost instantly to interpret the world around the user.
Mahendran’s AI backpack isn’t for sale,but he says he is going to start a GoFundMe to equip any blind pedestrians who want to use the system.
32.What does the underlined word “instantaneous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Intelligent B.Immediate
C.Accurate D.Effective
33.What do we know about Mahendran
A.He thinks artificial intelligence is of little use to blind people.
B.He was not successful in helping people with eyesight trouble at first.
C.The AI backpack that he has developed is the best.
D.His AI backpack will be put on the market soon.
34.What question is answered in Paragraph 5 and Paragraph 6
A.What is a Luxonis OAK-D unit
B.How is the AI backpack developed
C.How is the captured data transferred to a Bluetooth-enabled earphone
D.What does the AI backpack device consist of
35.What is the purpose of the text
A.To prove that a helping hand is everywhere.
B.To explain the new trend of AI
C.To introduce a new AI device.
D.To give suggestions on how to help the blind.

Technostress may make people feel down or burned-out and even suffer from depression. Some may feel tension in the body,which can lead to headaches and back pain. 38 That is why dealing with technostress is vital to overall health.
39 Acknowledge that it’s a sign of strength and courage to recognize a mental health challenge and take steps to manage it. Experts encourage people struggling with technostress to take steps in the workplace to get involved in how technology may be used.
Taking time each day to get outside is also a great way. By all accounts,there’s almost nothing that aids in stress management so much as a few hours spent in the park,the woods or the mountains. 40 Hours spent on the computer may be perceived as stressful but the stressors can be seen as more bearable if on this day one can look forward to a walk in nature.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。Shadow Puppetry,literally “pi ying xi”,is a traditional folk art that traces its origins to ancient storytelling practices. In its early days,performers discovered that by manipulating leather figures behind a lit screen,they could create vivid moving images 56 (accompany) by music and narration.
Historically,shadow puppetry was performed during festivals, 57 (religion) ceremonies,and family celebrations,often serving as both entertainment and a way to pass down myth and legends. Today,performances are held in theaters,cultural events,and even schools to attract both 58 (local) and tourists.

The puppets,made from carefully treated and dyed leather, 60 (carve) intricately to depict characters from traditional stories. Behind a white cloth screen,the puppeteers use thin rods 61 (move) the figures,while musicians play traditional instruments like the erhu and drums to enhance the storytelling.
Despite its beauty,shadow puppetry, 62 precision meets tradition,is not without its challenges. The art requires not only skill in puppet manipulation but also a deep understanding of the stories 63 the ability to match movements with music and dialogue. Performers often spend years mastering the craft as the delicate puppets can easily be damaged during performances.
However,this ancient art form is facing a decline as younger generations show less interest in learning it. To address this,efforts are shifting focus 64 preserving the tradition through workshops,cultural festivals,and collaborations with modern media, 65 (ensure) that this unique form of storytelling continues to inspire future generations.

Though born in a poor family,Travis Wood led a happy life. He attended college and married Stephanie. Their happiness grew with the birth of their daughter,Maddy. But everything was changed by an accident,and he was left with a broken leg.
For two and a half years,Travis went through countless operations in the hospital. The pain was unbearable,and he felt hopeless. One day,as he lay in bed,his mind wondering,he secretly wished his treatments would fail so Stephanie could move on without him.
Then,a miracle (奇迹) walked in — Maddy,now two years old,visited him for the first time in the hospital. She climbed onto his bed,her innocent eyes meeting his. She didn’t stare at his injuries; she only saw her father. Then,from her little backpack,she pulled out a Polly Pocket doll and handed it to him.
At that moment,Travis understood something far-reaching. It didn’t matter what he had lost — what mattered was what he still had. He was a father and husband. With newfound determination,he chose to keep fighting.
Recovery was slow,and the years that followed were filled with struggles. Stephanie also suffered a lot and battled depression. Travis returned to school and earned two more degrees in biology and chemistry. Then,after a decade of perseverance (不屈不挠),joy returned — stronger than ever. They welcomed two more children. Travis found purpose in teaching,and Stephanie rediscovered herself through fitness.
Today,the Woods live with gratitude,knowing that even in their darkest moments,hope never left them. Travis often tells his students,“Life’s hardest battles reveal our greatest strength.” And whenever he looks at Maddy’s old Polly Pocket doll,now kept on his desk,he remembers the lesson she taught him — love and purpose are stronger than any pain.
One evening,as Travis sat grading papers,Maddy,now a teenager,walked in and held that same Polly Pocket doll. She told Travis that her friend’s brother,Tony,was injured in an accident and that he thought his life was over.
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。
“Will you talk to Tony ” Maddy asked Travis.

Aiva is created by some computer programmers. They put thousands of songs by famous musicians into it. After learning about those songs,Aiva finds its own way to write songs. If the programmers tell Aiva what they want about the song,it can make it in just a few minutes.
Aiva is the first world-famous AI song writer. Plenty of its songs have been used in films,games and ads,although people hardly know about it. Now Aiva can write classical music only. The programmers plan to give it more data,so it will be able to write all kinds of songs. There is no need to worry that Aiva will take musicians’ work. Instead,it will work together with humans and make better songs.

【答案】24.B 25.B 26.A 27.C
【解析】24.词句猜测题。根据文章第二段划线短语this floating coffin前文的内容“The compass lay somewhere at the bottom of(指南针躺在……底部的某个地方)”和后文的内容“but north meant nothing here between walls of water that rose taller than church towers.(但在这里,介于比教堂尖塔还高的水墙之间,北方毫无意义。)”可知,前文提到指南针躺在底部,后文又提到比教堂尖塔还高的水墙,故可推知此处划线短语this floating coffin指的是Marco所在的船,由于风暴的影响,船内积水严重,所以被比喻为“浮动的棺材”,故选B。
25.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“His fingers,blue and sore,still gripped the tiller (舵柄). A child’s hands,the fishermen had laughed when he’d signed on. Sixteen winters didn’t make a man,they said. Let them see him now. Let them watch as he pressed his hip against the rocking wood,taking the sea’s blows like boxer absorbing hits. Every wave that didn’t kill the boat fed his resolve.(他那青紫且疼痛的手指依旧紧紧握着舵柄。当他签约受雇时,渔民们曾嘲笑他那孩子的手。他们说,十六岁的寒冬经历并不能造就一个男人。让他们现在看看他吧。让他们看着,他如何用臀部抵住摇晃的船板,像承受着击打的拳击手一样承受着大海的打击。每一朵没有把船掀翻的浪都让他的决心更加坚定。)”可知,尽管Marco的手指因寒冷而变得青紫且疼痛,但他仍然紧握着舵柄,没有放弃操作船只。此外,每当一个波浪没有摧毁船只时,他的决心就更加坚定。这表明他的决定随着每一个生存挑战而增强。故选B。
26.细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Instead,he bent his knees as Old Tomas had taught him. “You don’t fight the water,boy,” the grey-haired sailor had said,tobacco flavouring his words. “You let it think it’s winning until it gets bored. ”(相反,他像Old Tomas教他的那样屈膝。“孩子,你不必与水抗争,”那位头发花白的水手曾说,嘴里带着烟草的味道,“你要让它以为自己在赢,直到它觉得无聊为止。”)”可知,Marco遵循了Tomas的建议,即在水面下时保持冷静,让海水认为自己在获胜,直到它失去兴趣。故选A。
27.推理判断题。根据文章第六段“For three seconds,he was nothing but a grain of sand in God’s boot.(有三秒钟的时间,他什么都不是,只是上帝靴子里的一粒沙。)”可知,在第六段中,当巨大的波浪袭来时,Marco感觉自己就像上帝靴子里的一粒沙子,这形象地表达了他在自然力量面前的渺小。故选C。
C
【答案】28.C 29.C 30.D 31.B
【解析】28.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Luckily,you remembered all the essentials: socks,underwear and a phone charger,etc. But upon arrival,you realized that you had forgotten to grab your toothbrush. (幸运的是,你记住了所有必需品:袜子、内衣和手机充电器等等。但到达后,你意识到你忘了拿牙刷)”可知,人们能记住必需品,却忘了不太重要的牙刷,说明我们的记忆有重要性的排序。故选C项。
29.词句猜测题。根据第二段中“In a new study,researchers suggest that offloading important to-do items for example by setting reminders on your phone could bring glad tidings to less important items like your toothbrush. This practice can free up your memory for additional minor things. (一项新研究表明,将重要待办事项(例如通过手机设置提醒)进行“记忆卸载”,或许能为你生活中的次要物品(比如牙刷)……。这种做法能为记忆腾出空间,容纳更多琐碎事项)”可知,使用电子设备设置提醒重要待办事项可以为记忆腾出空间,所以对记住像牙刷这类不太重要的物品是有好处的。故划线短语“bring glad tidings to”意思是“对……有利”,与C项“Be favorable to”同义。故选C项。
30.细节理解题。根据第四段中“What is unexpected is that their memory for low value circles was also improved by 27%,even in people who had never set any reminders for low value circles (出乎意料的是,即使是那些从未为低价值圆圈设置过提醒的人,他们对低价值圆圈的记忆力也提高了27%)”可知,数字提醒也能增强对低价值内容的记忆这一发现让研究人员感到惊讶。故选D项。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段中Gilbert的话“We need to be careful when backing up the most important information — if a memory tool fails,we could be left with nothing but lower importance information in our own memory (在备份最重要的信息时我们需要小心——如果一个记忆工具失效,我们自己的记忆中可能只剩下不太重要的信息)”可知,Gilbert提醒我们,如果记忆工具失效,我们可能就只记得一些不太重要的信息了。由此推知,他会建议我们不要过度依赖外部记忆辅助工具。故选B项。
D
【答案】32.B 33.B 34.D 35.C
【解析】32.词句猜测题。由第四段““The camera data is processed right away as it’s captured,” he said.(他说:“相机数据在被捕获后会立即进行处理。”)可知,AI backpack内包含摄像头,摄像头拍摄相片后,数据立刻得到处理,进而为用户提供警报。可推知“instantaneous”意为“即时的”,故选B。
33.细节理解题。由第二段的“Mahendran,a computer vision researcher at the University of Georgia’s Institute for Artificial Intelligence,found it ironic that he had helped develop machines — including a shopping robot that could “see” stocked shelves and a kitchen robot — but nothing for people with low or no vision.(Mahendran是佐治亚大学人工智能研究所的计算机视觉研究员,他发现自己曾帮助开发过机器——包括可以“看到”货架上的购物机器人和厨房机器人——但却没有为视力低下或没有视力的人设计的机器。)”可知,起初,他并没有成功地帮助视力有问题的人。故选B。
34.推理判断题。根据第五段的“Along with a backpack,the user also has to wear a vest and fanny pack,which houses the AI equipment,sensors,camera,and GPS.(除了背包,用户还需要穿背心和腰包,里面装着人工智能设备、传感器、摄像头和GPS。)”和第六段的“Currently,the vest includes hidden Intel sensors and a front-facing camera,while the backpack and fanny pack house a small computing unit (运算单元) and power source.(目前,这款背心包括隐藏的英特尔传感器和前置摄像头,而背包和腰包则装有一个小型计算单元和电源。)”可知,第五、六段主要介绍AI backpack的构成情况,因此回答的问题是“人工智能背包是由什么组成的?”,故选D。
35.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第三段的“After exploring existing technology for blind and low vision people like camera-enabled canes or GPS-connected smart-phone apps,he came up with a backpack-based AI design that uses cameras to provide instantaneous alerts.(在探索了适用于盲人和低视力人群的现有技术,如带摄像头的手杖或连接gps的智能手机应用程序后,他想出了一种基于背包的人工智能设计,利用摄像头提供即时警报。)”可知,本文主要介绍研究人员为帮助盲人、视力欠佳之人安全行走,研发了一款人工智能背包设备的事迹。文章旨在介绍该人工智能设备,因此本文的目的是介绍一种新的人工智能设备。故选C。

37.空前“Technostress can be broken down into a few subcategories including techno-overload,techno-complexity and techno-invasion.(技术压力可以分为几个子类,包括技术超载、技术复杂性和技术入侵。)”提到了技术压力的几种子类别,故空处内容应涉及这些子类别。对比选项可知,A项中的“All of them”可承接上文,指代“techno-overload,techno-complexity and techno-invasion”,所以A选项“所有这些都会对健康产生重大影响。”起到承上启下作用。故选A项。
38.空前“Some may feel tension in the body,which can lead to headaches and back pain.(有些人可能会感到身体紧张,这会导致头痛和背痛。)”提到了技术压力可能产生的一些问题。空后“That is why dealing with technostress is vital to overall health.(这就是为什么应对技术压力对整体健康至关重要。)”提到了应对技术压力的重要性。前后内容都与技术压力对健康的影响有关,所以空处也应围绕这一内容展开。B项“这不是一个医学问题,但可能导致疾病”总结了空前的描述,并引出空后处理技术压力的重要性。故选B项。
39.空后“Acknowledge that it’s a sign of strength and courage to recognize a mental health challenge and take steps to manage it. Experts encourage people struggling with technostress to take steps in the workplace to get involved in how technology may be used.(承认这是一种力量和勇气的标志,认识到心理健康的挑战,并采取措施来管理它。专家们鼓励那些与技术压力作斗争的人在工作场所采取措施,了解如何使用技术。)”提到了对待技术压力的态度,是所有G项“首先要做的是接受有技术压力是正常的”能概括下文内容,符合语境。故选G项。
40.空前“Taking time each day to get outside is also a great way. By all accounts,there’s almost nothing that aids in stress management so much as a few hours spent in the park,the woods or the mountains.(每天花点时间出去走走也是一个很好的方法。大家都说,几乎没有什么比在公园、树林或山上呆上几个小时更能帮助管理压力了。)”提到了花点时间出去走走,所以C项“对大多数人来说,这样的时间是现成的资源。”能承接上文,且Such time与空前的a few hours spent in the park,the woods or the mountains呼应。故选C项。

【答案】56.accompanied 57.religious 58.locals 59.a 60.are carved 61.to move 62.where 63.and 64.to/toward(s) 65.ensuring
【解析】56.考查非谓语动词。句意:早期,表演者发现通过在亮着的屏幕后面操纵皮革人偶,他们可以创造出伴随着音乐和旁白的生动动态画面。“(accompany) by music and narration”作后置定语,accompany(伴随,为……伴奏)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语moving images之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填accompanied。
57.考查形容词。句意:从历史上看,皮影戏在节日、宗教仪式和家庭庆祝活动中上演,通常既作为娱乐方式,也是传承神话和传说的一种途径。提示词修饰名词ceremonies,应用形容词religious作定语修饰,意为“宗教的”。故填religious。
58.考查名词。句意:如今,皮影戏表演在剧院、文化活动甚至学校举行,以吸引当地人和游客。可数名词local(当地人)作宾语,与复数名词tourists是并列关系,当地人和游客都应用复数形式,表泛指。故填locals。

60.考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:这些木偶由经过精心处理和染色的皮革制成,被精心雕刻以描绘传统故事中的人物。carve(雕刻)是谓语动词,与主语The puppets之间是被动关系,描述一般事实,用一般现在时态,主语是复数名词,谓语动词用复数形式are carved。故填are carved。
61.考查非谓语动词。句意:在白色布幕后面,木偶操纵者用细杆移动人偶,而音乐家则演奏二胡和鼓等传统乐器来增强故事的表现力。“(move) the figures”是“use thin rods”的目的,用不定式作目的状语。故填to move。
62.考查定语从句。句意:尽管皮影戏很美,其精准度与传统相结合,但也并非没有挑战。“____ precision meets tradition”是定语从句,修饰先行词shadow puppetry,关系词将其代入定语从句中作地点状语,表示“皮影戏中”,是模糊地点,应用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。
63.考查连词。句意:这项艺术不仅需要操纵木偶的技巧,还需要对故事有深刻的理解以及将动作与音乐和对话相匹配的能力。“a deep understanding of the stories”和“the ability to match movements with music and dialogue”是并列关系,应用连词and连接。故填and。
64.考查介词。句意:为了解决这个问题,人们正将重点转向通过工作坊、文化节以及与现代媒体合作来保护这一传统,以确保这种独特的讲故事形式继续激励后代。“shift focus to/toward(s)”是固定搭配,意为“将重点转向……”,to和toward(s)是介词。故填to/toward(s)。

第二节 (满分25分)
67.【答案】One possible version:
“Will you talk to Tony ” Maddy asked Travis. Travis looked at the doll,then at his daughter,and nodded. The next day,he stood before a young man in a hospital bed,his own prosthetic leg barely noticeable under his pants. Travis introduced himself and shared his own story — how he overcame the pain of his broken leg and the despair he once felt. He presented Tony the Polly Pocket doll and told him about the love and strength it represented. Tony listened attentively,his eyes gradually lighting up with newfound hope.
Tony nodded with a smile,expressing thanks to Travis. “Thank you so much,Mr. Wood. Your story has given me the courage to face my situation.” Travis put a hand on Tony’s shoulder. “Remember,life’s setbacks are just temporary. Love from family and friends and the purpose you find in life can pull you through any hardship.” Travis looked at the Polly Pocket doll again. It is a reminder that no matter how difficult life may seem,love and the will to live can turn despair into hope. Every person has the power to rewrite their story,and it’s these experiences of helping others that make life truly meaningful.
