Peverel Smith, a legendary artist, was seen walking on a Manhattan sidewalk wearing jeans, high-tops, a blazer, and a wool cap. She was there to meet me at a gallery owned by her friends. We entered the quiet space, where a large horse statue was the only thing visible through the glass. Smith, who will turn 79 in December, was preparing for a busy fall. She was releasing her memoir (回忆录), Bread of Angels, and going on an international tour to celebrate her famous album Horses.
Spanning more than six decades, Smith’s career encompasses poetry, music, photography, and a myriad of other artistic endeavors. One of her most famous lyrics from Horses goes: “People say, ‘Beware,’ but I don’t care.” From her early childhood, she has consistently dared to challenge authority and break conventional boundaries. In her memoir, she recollects a question she posed during her school years regarding the future of art — a passion instilled in her by her art-loving father. Following the passing of her parents, Smith was sent to an orphanage, where she was deeply dismayed to discover that art had no place in the institution. It was at that moment that she resolved to dedicate her entire life to the pursuit of art.
Smith’s early life was difficult. She grew up in a poor family moving often and being sick a lot. Despite this, she loved storytelling and reading. She dreamed of writing the longest book in the world. She also wanted to be a musician, even though she said she didn’t know how to play guitar properly. Her rebellious spirit made her stand out in the male-dominated music scene. She married Fredrick Smith in Detroit and had two children. After Fred’s death in 1994, she returned to New York with her kids and continued her creative work.
Smith’s life shows her ability to reinvent herself. She believes that everyone should find a piece of themselves in her stories. Smith plans to focus more on writing and less on memoirs. When asked how she feels, she said she feels like she is “ten and 100”.
4. What can we learn about Horses
A. Smith will go on a celebration tour for Horses this December.
B. Horses holds lots of precious memories of Smith in her youth.
C. Horses represents Smith’s resistance nature as her early album.
D. Lyrics of Horses reflected nature of Smith since her childhood.

If you’ve ever found yourself scratching your head over a decision when the answer is obvious, now there’s a scientific reason behind it. “The problem is ‘decision fatigue’ — a psychological phenomenon that influences the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making, causing indecision or poor choices.” says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist.
Physicians who have been on the job for several hours, for example, are more likely to prescribe antibiotics to patients when it’s unwise to do so. “Probably it’s because it’s simple and easy to write a prescription and consider a patient case closed rather than investigate further,” Polman says.
But interestingly, decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else. When people imagine themselves as advisers and imagine their own choices as belonging to someone else, they feel less tired and rely less on decision shortcuts to make those choices. “By taking upon the role of adviser rather than decision maker, one does not suffer the consequences of decision fatigue,” he says. “It’s as if there’s something fun and relieving about making someone else’s choice.”
“Getting input from others not only offers a fresh idea and thought process; it often also includes riskier choices. While this sounds undesirable, it can be quite good,” says Polman. “When people experience decision fatigue, they have a tendency to choose to go with the status quo (现状),” he says. “But the status quo can be problematic, since a change in the course of action can sometimes be important and lead to a positive outcome.” In order to achieve a successful outcome or reward, some level of risk is almost always essential. “People with decision fatigue will likely choose to do nothing over something,” he says. “That’s not to say that risk is always good, but it is related to taking action whereas decision fatigue certainly leads to inaction.”
“Just because you can make good choices for others doesn’t mean you’ll do the same for yourself,” Polman cautions. “Research has found that women negotiate higher salaries for others than they do for themselves,” he says, adding that people slip in and out of decision roles.
8. Which of the following may be made by a person with decision fatigue
A. A consumer buys a lot of food to prepare for a dinner.
B. A chef follows the usual recipe to make an evening meal.
C. A judge makes a less convincing judgment late in the day.
D. A student plans to finish his math homework in the morning.
9. When do people feel less decision fatigue
A. When they take decision shortcuts. B. When they have advisers to turn to.
C. When they have major decisions to make. D. When they help others to make decisions.
10. What are people likely to do when decision fatigue sets in
A. They adopt a totally new idea. B. They stop trying anything new.
C. They tend to make risky decisions. D. They turn to physicians for advice.
11. What does Polman say about taking risks in decision-making
A. It will often end in regret. B. It will enable people to be more creative.
C. It is likely to cause serious consequences. D. It is necessary to achieve successful outcome.
D
The rainforests are alive with the sound of animals. Besides the pleasure of the din (喧嚣), it is also useful to ecologists. If you want to measure the biodiversity of a piece of land, listening out for animal calls is much easier than digging about in the undergrowth looking for tracks. But such “bio-acoustic (生物声音的) analysis” is still time-consuming, and it requires an expert pair of ears.
In a paper published on October 17th in Nature Communications, a group of researchers led by J rg Müller, an ecologist at the University of Würzburg, describe a better way: have a computer do the job. Smartphone apps already exist that will identify birds, bats or mammals simply by listening to the sounds they make. Their idea was to apply the principle to conservation work.
The researchers took recordings from across 43 sites in the Ecuadorean rainforest. Sound recordings were taken four times every hour, over two weeks. The various calls were identified manually by an expert, and then used to construct a list of the species present. As expected, the longer the land had been free from agricultural activity, the greater the biodiversity it hosted.
Then it was the computer’s turn. The researchers fed their recordings to artificial-intelligence models that had been trained, using sound samples from elsewhere in Ecuador, to identify 75 bird species from their calls. “We found that the AI tools could identify the sounds as well as the experts,” says Dr Müller.
Of course, not everything in a rainforest makes a noise. Dr Müller and his colleagues used light-traps to capture night-flying insects, and DNA analysis to identify them. Reassuringly, they found that the diversity of noisy animals was a reliable proxy (指标) for the diversity of the quieter ones, too.
The results may have relevance outside ecology departments, too. Under pressure from their customers, firms such as L’Oreal, a make-up company, and Shell, an oil firm, have been spending money on forest restoration projects around the world. Dr Müller hopes that an automated approach to checking on the results could help monitor such efforts, and give a standardized way to measure whether they are working as well as their sponsors say.
12. What can we learn about Bioacoustic analysis
A. It makes animal calls attractive. B. It applies to many research fields.
C. It measures biodiversity easily. D. It requires special skill and time.
13. What can be inferred from the process of taking recordings in the rainforests
A. Researchers trained AI models to imitate animal calls.
B. Researchers used AI tools to conserve rainforests well.
C. Agricultural activities led to a decrease in biodiversity.
D. AI tools can identify bird species as well as the experts.
14. Why did Dr Müller and his colleagues do the survey in Paragraph 5
A. To figure out the species of quieter animals.
B. To confirm the biodiversity of the quieter animals.
C. To emphasize the biodiversity of the noisy animals.
D. To compare the noisy animals and the quieter ones.
15. What’s the potential application of AI in forest restoration projects
A. Identifying the sponsors. B. Monitoring the effectiveness.
C. Evaluating the biodiversity. D. Establishing ecology departments.
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能填入空白处的最佳选项。
Throughout our lives, we usually look for just one answer to each question we encounter, like when we ask what 2+2 equals or what the capital of India is. ____16____ The “one-problem, one-answer” mindset is deeply rooted in how we think.
But what happens if we’re asked to generate different responses instead of one correct answer ____17____ I asked them, “What if there is more than one way to record the answer to 2+2 ” They voiced varied answers, such as of 8, how Lincoln began “The Gettysburg Address”, the number of runners on a relay team, and the number following 3, etc. These kids weren’t “boxed in” by the artificial “requirement” of finding a single right answer. Rather, they were asked a question beginning with the two words “What if…… ” ____18____
What lies behind the issue then Ken Robinson has observed that our educational systems often don't help students develop their natural creativity. ____19____ Studies have shown that teachers claim to value qualities of independent thinking and curiosity, yet they reward behaviors of obedience. Thus, a workforce emerges that prioritizes conformity(顺从) over creativity. Simply stated, we tell students to color inside the lines and then expect adults to think outside the box.
____20____ Ask open-ended questions more often to encourage students to explore different ways of thinking. On top of this, a safe environment should be created where students feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakes. By doing so, students are better equipped to face complex problems with greater flexibility and innovation in the future.
A. Avoiding risks is a natural tendency.
B. However, they have the potential to succeed.
C. To find out, I approached a group of fourth-graders.
D. Instead, they promote uniformity and standardization.
E. The results, as you can see, were diverse and inventive.
F. Seldom do we consider the possibility of multiple answers.
G. It’s time to break free from the “single right answer” mindset.

Arriving in the U. K. for college, I was keen to join political science debates.

I felt invisible, my voice lost in a haze of mispronunciations and awkward ____23____.
This experience greatly hurt my ____24____. I stopped speaking in class, ____25____ my “broken English” didn’t deserve any attention. One day, a quote by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie ____26____ me: staying silent allowed others to “define my story”. Enlightened and encouraged, I determined to modify my voice — not by ____27____ my accent, but by mastering clarity. I recorded each practice, adjusting my tone and ____28____ until my meaning cut through. Signs of ____29____ progress emerged: a classmate ____30____ in with a nod, and a tutor scribbling “excellent point” beside my name.
The turning point came during a debate on refugee policies. Hands trembling, I ____31____ to share my living experience in Nigeria. When I finished, the tutor said, “That’s the ____32____ we’ve been missing.” For the first time, my words felt not like ____33____, but bridges connecting diverse minds.
This journey taught me to embrace my narrative bravely. My accent is a part of my ____34____, not a flaw to erase.

47. 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。
Every evening, after a long day’s work at the university, Professor Parker would walk out of the train station, and a golden Akita dog would be waiting for him there. The dog was Hachi, his loyal companion. They met by accident — Parker found the lost puppy at the station and took him home, and from then on, they were never apart. Hachi would see Parker off at the station every morning and greet him at the same spot every evening, rain or shine. The whole town knew their warm bond. Children would stop to pet Hachi, commuters would smile at their daily ritual, and the station master always saved a treat for the faithful dog.
One morning, Parker felt unwell but still went to work. He patted Hachi’s head and said, “Wait for me, boy.” Hachi seemed to sense something wrong — he barked loudly and refused to let Parker leave, even running in front of his bike. The dog’s unusual behavior alarmed several neighbors who witnessed the scene. But Parker left anyway, glancing back to see Hachi standing at the gate, whining (呜咽) softly. That afternoon, Parker suddenly fell down in the classroom while lecturing about agricultural economics. Despite immediate medical attention, he never regained consciousness, leaving behind a grieving family and a loyal friend who knew nothing of his fate.
The train pulled into the station as usual that evening. Hachi sat at their usual spot, his tail wagging gently, waiting for his master. The golden fur on his neck stood on end in anticipation as each passenger emerged from the train doors. Passengers walked by, some patting his head with pity, others whispering about the professor’s sudden passing. The station keeper said, “He’s not coming back, boy.” But Hachi didn’t move. As the sky turned dark and the platform emptied, he lay there, his eyes fixed on the train tracks, occasionally lifting his head at the sound of approaching footsteps, only to lower it again in disappointment.
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。
Paragraph 1:
Days turned into weeks and months, and Hachi came to the station every single day.

Paragraph 2:
Years later, the old Hachi lay weakly at the same spot, too tired to stand up.
