“Good morning, passengers! Welcome aboard Bus No. 38.” At 6:30 AM, the cool morning breeze blows as Feng Zhiliang, a 43-year-old driver with 15 years’ experience at Handan Public Transport, greets the first passengers. Seated in the driver’s cab, he fastens his seatbelt, ready to set off.
Feng’s recent viral video comes from his bilingual (双语的) stop announcements in Chinese and English,
captivating netizens. Some remark, “It’s like a luxurious flight for just two yuan!”, praising Handan’s harmonious
combination of tradition and modernity.
This transformation started when Feng greeted a group of foreign passengers with “Hello. Happy New Year!” during the Spring Festival. Encouraged by their positive feedback, he saw an opportunity to serve the many
foreigners riding his bus. Determined to improve communication, Feng started an English learning journey.
Starting from zero, he was buried in online courses, sought English materials, and used translation software to enhance his skills. Today, his bilingual announcements reflect his dedication and Handan’s cultural charm.
Each evening, after dropping off his last passengers, Feng returned home around 9:00 pm, exhausted but determined. Despite his tiredness, he’d continue studying for an hour, even making the best of his 20-minute break.
Inspired by his colleagues and after three years of unstopped preparation, Feng boldly tried bilingual announcements during peak hours in early 2023. Initially nervous, he received overwhelming encouragement from passengers, strengthening his resolve to make bilingual announcements an essential part.
“Taking that first step was discouraging, but the positive feedback fueled my passion,” Feng recalled. “It’s become a goal and a cherished wish.”
Now, over a year and a half later, Feng’s bilingual announcements have gathered a devoted fan base.
Passengers eagerly board the No. 38 bus to immerse themselves in his enriching language experience, while parents bring their children along for the educational ride. Feng’s dedication has transformed his routine bus rides into linguistic adventures, captivating hearts and minds alike.
What does the underlined sentence imply in Para. 2
Feng’s oral English is perfect.
Feng drives the bus as fast as a plane.
Feng’s bus offers the same luxury and comfort as a plane.
Feng’s bus provides a bilingual atmosphere similar to that of plane.
What inspired Feng initially to announce the stops bilingually
Enhancing his oral English.
Attracting more passengers to board his bus.
Reflecting Handan’s cultural charm to the passengers.
Better serving foreigners on his bus after their thumbs-up.
Which of the following can best describe Feng
Brave and patriotic. B. Strong-willed and diligent.
C. Devoted and patient. D. Considerate and frank.
What can we learn from the passage
All roads lead to Rome. B. It is never too old to learn.
C. Where there is will there is a way. D. A man can do no more than he can.
C
Forgetting is a fact of life that many people find frustrating. But growing evidence pushes back at the belief that a slip or escape in our recollection is evidently bad. Indeed, forgetting can sometimes help people cope psychologically or let go of useless knowledge.
In a new study, neuroscientist Tomas Ryan of Trinity College Dubli and his colleagues have examined the fundamental biology underlying a form of forgetting we experience every day. Their work suggests that when we can’t recall an old phone number or a high school teacher’s name, those details are not necessarily lost.
As Ryan explained to Mind Matters editor Daisy Yuhas, forgetting may be an active process that the brain uses to support learning. He also discussed how dementia (痴呆) may ultimately effect disordered forgetting more than lost memories.
You study an idea that some people may find counter-intuitive (反直觉的): forgetting can be part of learning. How so We often think of forgetting as a loss of the brain power or a limitation. Memory loss from dementia or brain injury, for example, can be devastating. But we also experience “everyday forgetting” as we go about our
lives because there’s just so much going on. We’re expected to learn and retain many things in order to function in modern society. Some are quite arbitrary, such as having to memorize facts you’ll never need again for school exams. Others are not so arbitrary but are still quite demanding, such as the knowledge you build to become a practicing doctor.
Although we may think of forgetting as a trouble, and it often is, it could be a feature of the brain rather than a bug. A growing body of research in neuroscience is studying the idea that forgetting is adaptive rather than limiting. So forgetting comes in many forms
There are different kinds that people generally consider distinct. We may use the word amnesia (健忘症) for a
kind of forgetting that most people would agree is neither adaptive nor beneficial. Some forms of amnesia make it difficult to form new memories while others make it difficult to recall memories formed before an injury.
How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
By defining a concept. B. By presenting a study result.
C. By making comparison. D. By giving an example.
What does the author agree in the passage
Dementia mainly results in lost memories.
Forgetting means imperfection of the brain.
It’s terrible that the best friend’s name escapes me.
The knowledge you need to be a teacher is not arbitrary.
What can be learned from the last two paragraphs
Scientists think forgetting limits our life.
B Neuroscientists are researching the adaptive role of forgetting.
People would agree that amnesia is harmful in most condition.
Amnesia definitely makes it challenging to recollect memories.
What is the purpose of the passage
To explain the reasons of forgetting. B. To present the process of forgetting.
C. To emphasize the benefits of forgetting. D. To clarify the misunderstanding of forgetting.
D
Chinese start-up DeepSeek has sent shock waves through the artificial intelligence world and created a headache for the United States. Its AI assistant overtook its Western rival ChatGPT to become the top-rated free app in the U.S., delivering a trillion dollar blow to the U.S. tech firms on the stock market.
DeepSeek claims that it trained its models in two months for about $5.6 million, using fewer chips than typical AI models. The U.S.-based OpenAI was reported to have spent around $100 million to develop GPT-4. Kristian Hammond, a professor of computer science at Northwestern University, told Newsweek, “If they are telling the truth, DeepSeek will have a significant impact.” He says, “OpenAI has argued that we cannot support their software locally, but DeepSeek demonstrates that we can. And the fact that DeepSeek could be built for less money, less computation and less time and can be run locally on less expensive machines, argues that as everyone was racing toward bigger and bigger, we missed the opportunity to build smarter and smaller.”
DeepSeek’s success in the U.S. has been attributed to its accessibility, cost-effectiveness and performance. However, the rise of DeepSeek has also sparked discussions about AI ethics and workforce adaptation. While some experts urge cautious regulation, others argue that DeepSeek’s transparent approach sets a positive precedent (先例) for responsible AI development.
DeepSeek aims to expand its global footprint, with plans to collaborate with educational institutions to nurture AI talent and launch community-driven projects to address societal challenges like climate change and resource management. DeepSeek represents a bold step toward an AI-augmented future. By balancing innovation with ethical responsibility, it has not only won industry recognition but also inspired confidence in AI’s potential to drive meaningful change. As adoption grows, DeepSeek is ready to redefine how industries operate, proving that intelligent technology, when used wisely, can truly transform the world.
What can we infer from Kristian Hammond’s words
A OpenAI is not as valuable as before because of DeepSeck.
B. Everyone has been focusing on building bigger AI models.
C. OpenAI’s argument about software support is reasonable.
D. DeepSeek is not as good as other AI models in performance.
What is the main reason for DeepSeek’s success in the US according to the third paragraph
Its high price which guarantees quality.
Its inaccessibility making it more attractive.
Its ease of access, cost efficiency and functionality.
Its secretive approach to AI development.
What is the attitude of experts toward DeepSeek’s rise
They are completely against it due to AI ethics concerns.
Some think it sets a bad precedent for AI development.
Some call for caution, while others see it as a good tool.
They are indifferent to its development and future.
Which of the following best summarizes the passage
DeepSeek’s success in the U.S., impact on AI, and future plans.
Comparison between DeepSeek and ChatGPT,GPT-4.
Ethical concerns from DeepSeek’s rise in the AI field.
How DeepSeek trained models at a low cost.

How Your Brain Deceives You
Your brain possesses some incredible abilities, from recalling conversations with close friends to tackling complex math problems with ease. But it is not that perfect and has some shortcomings. 36 , resulting in
errors that could be bad for your life However, you can avoid some of these errors by acquiring a better understanding of them
37 . When trying to solve a problem or make a decision, your mind often falls back on solutions that
have worked in the past instead of figuring out new ones. While using shortcuts can be a useful and effective approach, they can also trip you up and cause you to make mistakes. For example, maybe you’ re terrified of flying because you can think of several tragic, high-profile plane crashes. In reality, traveling by air is much safer than traveling by car. However, your brain is using a mental shortcut to fool you into believing flying is more
dangerous than it is.
Moreover, your brain might fail to detect significant changes occurring in your surroundings,a phenomenon referred to as change blindness. 38 , or it won’t be able to deal with different things at the same time.
Seemingly not like a huge problem, it can have major consequences according to some research. For example, people who have jobs like air traffic control can make potentially disastrous errors as a result of change blindness.
39 . In the process. we twist reality to protect our self-esteem (自尊) — in other words, we don’t want
to admit it when we mess up. Why do we participate. in the blame game Researchers believe it’s to safeguard our self-esteem and shield ourselves from the fear of failure. 40
Your brain has to prioritize what it pays attention to
From time to time, it may even overlook critical information
This realization can carry you through some unnecessary errors
One of the biggest shortcomings of your brain is that it can get lazy
It goes without saying that your brain is incapable of processing all information at the same time
When adopting this way of thinking, we attribute negative outcomes to factors beyond our control
When something goes wrong your brain instinctively seeks someone or something to hold responsible

The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the
French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
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。
As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared.

“Good morning, passengers! Welcome aboard Bus No. 38.” At 6:30 AM, the cool morning breeze blows as Feng Zhiliang, a 43-year-old driver with 15 years’ experience at Handan Public Transport, greets the first passengers. Seated in the driver’s cab, he fastens his seatbelt, ready to set off.
Feng’s recent viral video comes from his bilingual (双语的) stop announcements in Chinese and English,
captivating netizens. Some remark, “It’s like a luxurious flight for just two yuan!”, praising Handan’s harmonious
combination of tradition and modernity.
This transformation started when Feng greeted a group of foreign passengers with “Hello. Happy New Year!” during the Spring Festival. Encouraged by their positive feedback he saw an opportunity to serve the many
foreigners riding his bus. Determined to improve communication, Feng started an English learning journey.
Starting from zero, he was buried in online courses, sought English materials, and used translation software to enhance his skills. Today, his bilingual announcements reflect his dedication and Handan’s cultural charm.
Each evening, after dropping off his last passengers, Feng returned home around 9:00 pm, exhausted but determined. Despite his tiredness, he’d continue studying for an hour, even making the best of his 20-minute break.
Inspired by his colleagues and after three years of unstopped preparation, Feng boldly tried bilingual announcements during peak hours in early 2023. Initially nervous, he received overwhelming encouragement from passengers, strengthening his resolve to make bilingual announcements an essential part.
“Taking that first step was discouraging, but the positive feedback fueled my passion,” Feng recalled. “It’s become a goal and a cherished wish.”
Now, over a year and a half later, Feng’s bilingual announcements have gathered a devoted fan base.

Forgetting is a fact of life that many people find frustrating. But growing evidence pushes back at the belief
that a slip or escape in our recollection is evidently bad. Indeed, forgetting can sometimes help people cope psychologically or let go of useless knowledge.
In a new study, neuroscientist Tomas Ryan of Trinity College Dubli and his colleagues have examined the fundamental biology underlying a form of forgetting we experience every day. Their work suggests that when we can’t recall an old phone number or a high school teacher’s name, those details are not necessarily lost.
As Ryan explained to Mind Matters editor Daisy Yuhas, forgetting may be an active process that the brain uses to support learning. He also discussed how dementia (痴呆) may ultimately effect disordered forgetting more than lost memories.
You study an idea that some people may find counter-intuitive (反直觉的): forgetting can be part of learning. How so We often think of forgetting as a loss of the brain power or a limitation. Memory loss from dementia or brain injury, for example, can be devastating. But we also experience “everyday forgetting” as we go about our
lives because there’s just so much going on. We’re expected to learn and retain many things in order to function in modern society. Some are quite arbitrary, such as having to memorize facts you’ll never need again for school
exams. Others are not so arbitrary but are still quite demanding, such as the knowledge you build to become a
practicing doctor.
Although we may think of forgetting as a trouble, and it often is, it could be a feature of the brain rather than a bug. A growing body of research in neuroscience is studying the idea that forgetting is adaptive rather than limiting. So forgetting comes in many forms
There are different kinds that people generally consider distinct. We may use the word amnesia (健忘症) for a
kind of forgetting that most people would agree is neither adaptive nor beneficial. Some forms of amnesia make it difficult to form new memories while others make it difficult to recall memories formed before an injury.
How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
By defining a concept. B. By presenting a study result.
C. By making comparison. D. By giving an example.
What does the author agree in the passage
Dementia mainly results in lost memories.
Forgetting means imperfection of the brain.
It’s terrible that the best friend’s name escapes me.
The knowledge you need to be a teacher is not arbitrary.
What can be learned from the last two paragraphs
Scientists think forgetting limits our life.
Neuroscientists are researching the adaptive role of forgetting.
People would agree that amnesia is harmful in most condition.
Amnesia definitely makes it challenging to recollect memories.
What is the purpose of the passage
To explain the reasons of forgetting. B. To present the process of forgetting.
C. To emphasize the benefits of forgetting. D. To clarify the misunderstanding of forgetting.
【答案】28 B 29. D 30. B 31. D

【30 题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“A growing body of research in neuroscience is studying the idea that forgetting is adaptive rather than limiting (越来越多的神经科学研究正在研究遗忘是适应性的，而不是限制性的。)”可知，神经科学家正在研究遗忘的适应性作用。答案为 B。
【31 题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段“Forgetting is a fact of life that many people find frustrating. But growing evidence pushes back at the belief that a slip or escape in our recollection is evidently bad. Indeed, forgetting can sometimes help people cope psychologically or let go of useless knowledge. (遗忘是许多人感到沮丧的生活事实。但是，越来越多的证据推翻了这样一种观点，即在我们的记忆中失误或逃逸显然是不好的。事实上，遗忘有时可以帮助人们在心理上应对或放弃无用的知识。)”和倒数第二段“Although we
may think of forgetting as a trouble, and it often is, it could be a feature of the brain rather than a bug. A growing body of research in neuroscience is studying the idea that forgetting is adaptive rather than limiting. (虽然我们可能认为遗忘是一种麻烦，而且它经常是，但它可能是大脑的一种特征，而不是一种缺陷。越来越多的神经科学研究正在研究遗忘是适应性的，而不是限制性的。)”可知，人们对遗忘现象存在误解。遗忘是大脑的
特征而不是缺陷，作者具体阐释和澄清了这一误解。故答案为 D。

Chinese start-up DeepSeek has sent shock waves through the artificial intelligence world and created a headache for the United States. Its AI assistant overtook its Western rival ChatGPT to become the top-rated free app in the U.S., delivering a trillion dollar blow to the U.S. tech firms on the stock market.
DeepSeek claims that it trained its models in two months for about $5.6 million, using fewer chips than typical AI models. The U.S.-based OpenAI was reported to have spent around $100 million to develop GPT-4. Kristian Hammond, a professor of computer science at Northwestern University, told Newsweek, “If they are telling the truth,
DeepSeek will have a significant impact.” He says, “OpenAI has argued that we cannot support their software locally,
but DeepSeek demonstrates that we can. And the fact that DeepSeek could be built for less money, less computation and less time and can be run locally on less expensive machines, argues that as everyone was racing toward bigger and bigger, we missed the opportunity to build smarter and smaller.”
DeepSeek’s success in the U.S. has been attributed to its accessibility, cost-effectiveness and performance. However, the rise of DeepSeek has also sparked discussions about AI ethics and workforce adaptation. While some experts urge cautious regulation, others argue that DeepSeek’s transparent approach sets a positive precedent (先例) for responsible AI development.
DeepSeek aims to expand its global footprint, with plans to collaborate with educational institutions to nurture AI talent and launch community-driven projects to address societal challenges like climate change and resource management. DeepSeek represents a bold step toward an AI-augmented future. By balancing innovation with ethical responsibility, it has not only won industry recognition but also inspired confidence in AI’s potential to drive meaningful change. As adoption grows, DeepSeek is ready to redefine how industries operate, proving that intelligent technology, when used wisely, can truly transform the world.
What can we infer from Kristian Hammond’s words
OpenAI is not as valuable as before because of DeepSeck.
Everyone has been focusing on building bigger AI models.
OpenAI’s argument about software support is reasonable.
DeepSeek is not as good as other AI models in performance.
What is the main reason for DeepSeek’s success in the US according to the third paragraph
Its high price which guarantees quality.
Its inaccessibility making it more attractive.
Its ease of access, cost efficiency and functionality.
Its secretive approach to AI development.
What is the attitude of experts toward DeepSeek’s rise
They are completely against it due to AI ethics concerns.
Some think it sets a bad precedent for AI development.
Some call for caution, while others see it as a good tool.
They are indifferent to its development and future.
Which of the following best summarizes the passage
DeepSeek’s success in the U.S., impact on AI, and future plans.
Comparison between DeepSeek and ChatGPT,GPT-4.
Ethical concerns from DeepSeek’s rise in the AI field.
How DeepSeek trained models at a low cost.

能模型。故选 B。
【33 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“DeepSeek’s success in the U.S. has been attributed to its accessibility, cost- effectiveness and performance.(DeepSeek 在美国的成功归功于它的易用性、成本效益和性能)”可知， DeepSeek 在美国成功的主要原因是其易于访问、成本高效和功能强大。故选 C。

How Your Brain Deceives You
Your brain possesses some incredible abilities, from recalling conversations with close friends to tackling complex math problems with ease. But it is not that perfect and has some shortcomings. 36 , resulting in
errors that could be bad for your life However, you can avoid some of these errors by acquiring a better understanding of them
37 . When trying to solve a problem or make a decision, your mind often falls back on solutions that
have worked in the past instead of figuring out new ones. While using shortcuts can be a useful and effective approach, they can also trip you up and cause you to make mistakes. For example, maybe you’ re terrified of flying because you can think of several tragic, high-profile plane crashes. In reality, traveling by air is much safer than traveling by car. However, your brain is using a mental shortcut to fool you into believing flying is more dangerous than it is.
Moreover, your brain might fail to detect significant changes occurring in your surroundings,a phenomenon referred to as change blindness. 38 , or it won’t be able to deal with different things at the same time.
Seemingly not like a huge problem, it can have major consequences according to some research. For example, people who have jobs like air traffic control can make potentially disastrous errors as a result of change blindness.
39 . In the process. we twist reality to protect our self-esteem (自尊) — in other words, we don’t want
to admit it when we mess up. Why do we participate. in the blame game Researchers believe it’s to safeguard our self-esteem and shield ourselves from the fear of failure. 40
Your brain has to prioritize what it pays attention to
From time to time, it may even overlook critical information
This realization can carry you through some unnecessary errors
One of the biggest shortcomings of your brain is that it can get lazy
It goes without saying that your brain is incapable of processing all information at the same time
When adopting this way of thinking, we attribute negative outcomes to factors beyond our control
When something goes wrong, your brain instinctively seeks someone or something to hold responsible
