B
I was walking home when a well-dressed man politely stopped me. “Could you tell me which way to Bloor and…” He struggled to get the next word out with a pained look, but I knew better than to finish his sentence for him. “… Bathurst ” he said after several seconds of trying. When I answered, he told me that he didn’t actually need to know. He was practising stuttering (口吃) openly, he explained, hoping to become more confident doing so around strangers.
“Are you doing that because it’s National Stuttering Awareness Day ” I asked with excitement, eager to connect with other stutterers. When he asked how I knew that, I said I grew up with a stutter. He nodded, asking hopefully: “So your stutter has magically disappeared ” I paused. I understood why he assumed this—I sounded quite fluent. But even as we spoke, my stutter had influenced my speech, and that’s why I’d misnamed International as National to avoid the tricky front sound that I continue to struggle with.
Data shows four percent of all children stutter, while only one percent of them stutter into adulthood—a 75 percent drop. But are the supposed ex-stutters completely free of their stuttering past Actually, though the severity of my stutter has decreased with age, it has shaped my identity and affected my life tremendously, informing the way that I speak, interact and move around in the world.
Some define stutter as a disability because it is as constant and out of control as blindness or other disabilities. There’s no pill, no surgery, no way to get rid of it, no “recovering” from it. But there is recovering from the shame and self-hatred that result from it. Some researchers have begun to argue that treatment for stutter shouldn’t be centered around removing a person’s stutter, but rather on reducing one’s negative thoughts and behaviors surrounding it.
As for me, I’d say that my stutter has not “magically disappeared” because I’ve simply found ways to conceal it. But I have a better therapy now—I will grow alongside it, an identity inseparable from the way that I speak. Thinking about this, I decided to tell the man, who was still looking at me hopefully: “______.”
The decent man stopped the author because he ______.
lost his way and asked about the direction
was very eager to connect with other stutterers
wanted to be braver when talking to unfamiliar people
was practising giving speeches fluently in open occasions
Why did the author misname the International as National in paragraph 2
Because he misremembered the name of this day.
Because the National version is more familiar to people.
Because it is quite difficult for him to make the sound “inter”.
Because as a stutter, he can’t pronounce the word “international”.
What might be the author’s answer in the last paragraph
Yes. I have got rid of stutter by developing a more positive attitude towards life.
No. There is no recovering from stutter and I have simply found ways to conceal it.
Yes. As I grow older, I rarely stutter now and people around me don’t know I stuttered.
D. No. I will always live with stutter because it is also apart of me and I gladly accept that.
27. What’s the best title for this passage
A. A special encounter with stutterers B. My stutter, myself
C. Stutter, a life-changing disability D. New definitions for stutter
C
The conversational tone of an AI chatbot or voice-based assistant is a good way to learn new concepts, but it may actually make us more willing to believe inaccuracies, compared with information presented in a static (静态的) article.
To investigate this issue, Sonja Utz from Germany asked 1,200 participants to engage with one of three formats. The first involved text appearing letter by letter in the style of a large model, similar to ChatGPT; the second provided information through a voice-based device; and the third was a static, text-based copy of content.
Participants couldn’t interact with the systems as they might with the real versions, in order to keep the experience consistent across the study. In some cases, participants were given accurate information, while in others, they saw factual errors. Some of these errors were plain wrong, such as naming Sofia as the capital of France, but others involved certain statements that were contradicted elsewhere in the same response.
Participants were asked to rate the accuracy of the information on a seven-point scale, where 7 is entirely accurate. In the answers where errors were introduced, the information presented in a static format was rated as 4.24 on average. The ChatGPT-like system managed 4.76, while the voice assistant scored 5.29. Participants rated all of the systems higher for answers where no errors were introduced, but the differences were smaller for the voice assistant and chatbot.
“People find conversational chat agents more convincing because humans seem to be hardwired to assign credibility to things that seem lifelike,” says Mike Katell from UK. “The way the chatbots and voice agents are programmed to use a friendly and helpful conversational tone also confuses people. Chatbot makers are trying to put users at ease, which is achieved through believable content and inoffensive delivery.”
People have learned that these models generate false information sometimes. “But people don’t realize that this interaction mode makes us tend to believe whatever is written there.” Utz says. “That should be in media literacy training.”
28. What was the main focus of Sonja Utz’s study
A. People’s preference for information sources.
B. Features of AI chatbots or voice-based assistants.
C. Why static articles differ from conversational content.
D. How text formats influence information trustworthiness.
29. In paragraph 3, text errors in the study can be summarized as________
A. inevitable and conflicting B. minor and common
C. obvious and internally inconsistent D. repetitive and randomly selected
30. According to Mike Katell, which of the following is NOT a reason why people find conversational chat agents more convincing
A. People’s inborn trust in lifelike things.
B. Inoffensive delivery of personalized content.
C. The chatbot’s use of a gentle conversational tone.
D. The makers’ intention to make users feel relaxed.
31. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage
A. People’s preference for lifelike things may be overstated.
B. Utz suggests people improve media awareness and competence.
C. How information is presented doesn’t affect how much we believe it.
D. The research results are uncertain due to the lack of man-system interaction.
D
Ask most scientists if we’re animals and you’ll get a funny look. Of course, we’re humans! But very commonly, humans are set apart from animals using random division. In 2018, a pair of long-tailed macaques were cloned to be used in biomedical research. A few years earlier, the United Nations stated that cloning people goes against human dignity. That may be a good ruling. But what exactly is dignity, and why do humans have it while intelligent, aware primates(灵长目动物) such as macaques do not A macaque may not think or talk about dignity, but does that mean it doesn’t possess it The fact is, biology won’t leap to our assistance here because dignity is a human invention.
“Dignity” originates in Enlightenment dualist (二元论者) ideas separating cognition from physicality and instinct, and later a new binary emerged: the human mind and our physical bodies. In this worldview, the impulses and feelings of animal bodies (including our own) are viewed as less important than our mental experiences.
Many of our laws and guidelines today create hard borders between humans and other animals on the basis of our supposedly superior mental properties. To maintain a strict boundary between our experiences and those of all other animals, we find ourselves prioritizing what we consider mind-based phenomena when making policies. So we demote experiences of fear and promote the idea that knowing fear—recognizing it, naming it—is what matters morally. We brush under the carpet the fact that these cognitive capacities, if present at all, change throughout our lives without altering our moral status. For example, babies experience fear but can’t conceptualize it. This doesn’t alter our belief in their moral subjecthood.
I look at the history of science and psychology research to understand how our discomfort with some aspects of being animals—from moral confusion to mortality—can spur us to tell ourselves that we’re not really animals. I conclude that it’s time for a much-needed change in belief that no longer splits the world into unhelpful and unscientific binaries. The overwhelming bulk of scientific data from the past few decades points to how essential our animal, physical life is to our actions, feeling and thoughts. A research into child development has shown that significant, measurable advantages in acquiring language and mathematics follow the use of physical movement and gesture.
We urgently need to get a handle on what it means to be an animal and move beyond old-fashioned dualism. It’s not just that we’re animals: embodied, physical experiences are richer and more meaningful than we’ve recognized. If that means we need to rethink our relationship to other animals, so be it.
32. What can we know about “dignity” in the passage
A. It is a term which separates humans from animals.
B. It is a cognitive standard shared by all primates.
C. It is an idea combining human body and mind.
D. It is an emotional feature of human being.
33. Why does the author mention the example of babies in Para. 3
A. To prove cognitive ability is needed for moral subjecthood.
B. To show the change of cognitive ability in moral development.
C. To highlight the importance of cognitive ability in policy making.
D. To stress the existence of moral status regardless of level of cognition.
34. What is the writer trying to propose
A. A shift away from dualistic thinking. B. A new method for scientific research.
C. Less emphasis on physical experiences. D. More attention to cognitive development.
35. Which is the best title of the article
A. But We Are Animals, Aren’t We
B. Thus We Claim Dignity, Don’t We
C. But We Are Truly Different, Aren’t We
D. So We Prefer Our Animal Nature, Don’t We
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。
Tourists walking along Australia’s Sunshine Coast now find an unusual souvenir (纪念品) shop. Instead of plastic toys, shelves are filled with sandcastle kits made from dried seaweed. These earth-friendly molds (模具) create temporary sculptures. 36
The “Ocean Shapes” company makes these special kits. Each $15 set includes three toys that break down naturally and are shaped like sea turtles, starfish, and seashells, plus a small digging tool. Their website says: “ 37 Watch them return to the sea. This is how vacation memories should disappear.” Bright green packaging shows children building a sandcastle that slowly disappears with the waves. “Every kit sold funds beach clean-up programs,” says the company’s boss, a former surfing star.
Sunshine Coast’s white beaches attract millions yearly. 38 Last year, volunteers picked up over 12 tons of rubbish left by visitors just during Christmas. Old plastic beach toys make up 40% of this waste, taking 500 years to break down. Broken tools often hurt sea animals that think they’re food.
39 For twenty years, scientists have tried using seaweed instead of plastic. They boil seaweed into thick liquid, and then press it into shapes. Old versions had bad smells, but new methods remove them while keeping the material strong.
Mayor Tom Carter likes the idea but says, “We ask visitors to buy local honey or handmade hats. Our surf schools now offer seaweed toys for free to make less waste. If you buy them and they don’t disappear fully, take the pieces away. 40 ” Next summer, his team will add bright yellow seaweed recycling boxes shaped like dolphins on busy beaches.
A. The ocean isn’t a rubbish bin.
B. Play with nature, not against it.
C. Keep the material strong enough for play.
D. Seaweed products are not completely new.
E. You have to return the seaweed toys in advance.
F. They can break down in the ocean within hours, not polluting it.
G. Famous for clear water and surfing, this area has growing plastic problems.

My father’s thrift (节俭) philosophy shaped my youth. Unlike peers receiving pocket money, I never got a penny—not from cruelty, but to build 41 . Each morning, he’d note, “Mrs. Wilson needs her garden weeded; Mr. Carter requires help 42 bottles.” I earned coins through 43 work in the neighborhood; sweeping leaves, shoveling snow and planting trees.
Savings filled the tin under my bed, its weight showing my growing 44 . Though he occasionally borrowed for emergencies (a flat tire or a medical bill), 45 was exact and timely.

Witnessing global contrasts inspires my resolve: 1.3 billion tons of food go bad annually—enough to feed all the hungry—while 800 million starve. This phenomenon 53 my Food Rescue project—redirecting bakery remains to food banks and training youth to 54 deserted furniture for schools. Through such acts, thrift becomes social justice. As Father said, “Earning teaches respect for resources.” In our wasteful era, thrift transforms from 55 discipline to collective duty.

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。
When Mrs. Patel, our head teacher, revealed the special group assignment to design a brochure celebrating our school’s 120th birthday, I was thrilled—I was incredibly proud of my school, the Riverside Elementary, which connected me to my roots. My father and grandfather had all graduated from here. I could still remember how they showed me their notebooks, in which I saw faded pictures of their classes, familiar corners of the school and fascinating stories of their school days.
Mrs. Patel added that the best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was. I was paired with two classmates: Ansel, who loved photography, and Emma, who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right But my enthusiasm was quickly dampened.
Our first team meeting was disastrous. As we discussed which campus areas to highlight, Ansel kept switching the conversation toward cameras. I looked hopefully at Emma, who was tapping her pen restlessly on the table. “This whole thing feels pointless,” she muttered. To my disappointment, Ansel chuckled and added, “Yeah, it seems that no one would really read that brochure.” My heart sank as I realized the project might be tougher than expected.
At our next meeting, I tried to change the situation. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. They had both promised to do some research. But instead Ansel showed us photos taken on the weekend while Emma hadn’t started her part of the research, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared.
Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, tying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Ansel and Emma have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.”
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
With only three days left, I arranged the third meeting. On the final day, we presented our brochure in class.
