In 2003, Cressida Cowell published her first How to Train Your Dragon book, and it went on to
inspire popular animated films and TV shows. Now the story from the first movie is being retold in a
live-action film with human actors and computer-generated (CG) dragons. It arrives in theaters on
July 13, 2025.
How to Train Your Dragon takes place in a fantasy world where Hiccup, a Viking boy, refuses togo along with his tribe’s tradition of hunting dragons. Despite his father’s disapproval, he becomes
friends with a giant flying dragon named Toothless, and they team up to help stop a war.
The new film was co-written and directed by Dean DeBlois, who did the same for the original
animated film and its sequel. He said that the films have been popular because many people can
relate to the way Hiccup “can put up with ridicule(嘲笑) and still follow his heart.” He also thinks
audiences wish that they, too, could have a bond with an amazing creature.
There are some differences between the new film and the original. DeBlois said not all the CG
dragons look like their animated counterparts, for example, although Toothless has not changed
much. In fact, the team closely watched the animated movie to make sure his personality stayed the
same. Some of Toothless’s behaviors, DeBlois said, were based on cats and dogs. To ensure that the
actors’ reactions to the creatures looked natural, they performed opposite foam dragons operated by
puppeteers(木偶操控师).
DeBlois hopes kids who see the film are “thrilled by the adventure” and appreciate Hiccup’s
bravery. He said, “Hiccup is a hero for all the people who sometimes feel like they don’t belong or
that they have to change who they are to fit in.”
24. What makes Hiccup’s story appealing according to Dean DeBlois?
A. The courage to stay true to oneself.
B. The ancient dragon-hunting tradition.
C. The fantasy world created in the story.
D. The traditional way of training dragons.
25. Why were foam dragons adopted during filming?
A. To reduce film production costs.
B. To achieve realistic actor response.
C. To simplify post-production editing.
D. To create more realistic visual effects.
26. What can be inferred about the dragon design in the new film?
A. Practical effects have replaced all digital elements.
B. Animal-inspired movements are applied to most dragons.
C. Traditions from the animated version are strictly followed.
D. The lead dragon’s character is preserved despite visual updates.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. Dragon-themed films attract large audiences.
B. Classic tales find new life in a live-action film.
C. Technological innovations revolutionize cinema.
D. Storytelling techniques undergo transformations.
C
I’m more of a scroller(浏览者) than a poster on social media. For a while, my feed was filled
with perfectly designed tiny homes, fueling my desire for minimalist paradise. Then, I started seeingAI-generated images; many contained obvious errors such as staircases to nowhere or sinks within
sinks. Yet, commenters rarely pointed them out, instead admiring the aesthetic(美学). These images
were clearly AI-generated and didn’t depict reality. Did people just not notice? Not care?
As a psychologist, I’d guess “yes” and “yes.” With my understanding of how people process
images and notice—or don’t notice—detail, it’s not surprising to me that people aren’t tuning in to
the fact that many images are AI-generated.
Spotting errors in AI images requires noticing small details, but the human visual system isn’t
wired for that when you’re casually scrolling. Instead, while online, people grasp the essence of what
they’re viewing and can overlook subtle inconsistencies. Visual attention operates like a zoom lens:
You scan broadly to get an overview of your environment or phone screen, but fine details require
focused effort.
Human thinking uses two types of processing: fast, intuitive thinking based on mental shortcuts,
and slower, analytical thinking that requires effort. When scrolling, our fast system likely dominates,
leading us to accept images at face value. Adding to this issue is the tendency to seek information
that confirms your beliefs or reject information that goes against them. This means AI-generated
images are more likely to slip by you when they are in line with your expectations or worldviews.
While not a big deal for tiny home aesthetics, AI-generated images have the power to shape
opinions and spread misinformation in ways that are difficult to counter. Research shows that people
tend to assume images are relevant to accompanying text. Even when the images provide no actual
evidence, they make people more likely to accept the text’s claims as true. Generated images can
make false claims seem more believable and even cause people to misremember real events.
28. Why did the author mention a zoom lens in paragraph 3?
A. To introduce how a camera operates.
B. To illustrate how people spot errors.
C. To reveal multi-functions of human vision.
D. To explain features of human visual system.
29. Why do viewers often ignore AI image errors when scrolling?
A. Errors are too subtle to detect. B. Human vision lacks sharpness.
C. Fine details are not their focus. D. People lack good analytical ability.
30. What kind of AI images is more likely to fool people?
A. Those with abundant details. B. Those fitting viewers’ beliefs.
C. Those with accompanying text. D. Those praised for visual appeal.
31. What does the word “counter” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Believe. B. Ignore. C. Oppose. D. Interpret.
D
Imaging you are driving down the highway and notice that you are running low on fuel. Your
GPS shows 100 gas stations ahead on your route. What are the chances that you would pick the
cheapest option? Researchers have studied this “best-choice problem” and its optimal(最佳的)strategy, so learning the secret might make you a better decision-maker.
Amazingly, the optimal strategy results in the number-one pick being selected almost 37 percent
of the time, and its success rate doesn’t depend on the number of candidates. The winning strategy is
simple: reject the first approximately 37 percent of the choices no matter what. Then pick the first
option that is better than all the others you’ve encountered so far. If you never find such an option,
take the final one.
When in his 20s, Michael Trick, a professor of Carnegie Mellon University, applied similar
reasoning to his love life. He figured that people begin dating at 18, and assumed that he would no
longer date after 40 and would meet potential partners at a consistent rate. Taking 37 percent of this
time span would put him at age 26, at which point he vowed to propose to the first woman he met
whom he liked more than all his previous dates. Then he met Ms. Right, got down on one knee and
was promptly given a no. The best-choice problem doesn’t cover cases where opportunities may
turn you down. Perhaps it’s best we leave math out of romance.
Research finds that applying the 37 percent rule could improve decision-making, but be sure to
double-check that your situation meets all the conditions: a known number of rankable options is
being presented one at a time in any order, you want the best, and you can’t double back.
If decisions don’t need to be made on the spot, that negate(取消) the need for a strategy entirely:
simply evaluate every candidate and pick your favorite. Whatever dilemma you face, there’s
probably a best-choice strategy that will help you quit while you’re ahead.
32. What are you supposed to do when applying the optimal strategy?
A. Limit the number of options.
B. Compare each option carefully.
C. Go straight for the final option.
D. Skip almost one third of the options.
33. What does Michael Trick’s story imply?
A. The strategy suits romance well. B. Opportunities favor prepared mind.
C. Opportunities arrive later than expected. D. The strategy fails when choices reject
you.
34. Which of the following is a required condition for the strategy?
A. Options vary in number. B. Options can be revisited.
C. Options come one by one. D. Options are ranked orderly.
35. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Leave Math out of Romance
B. When to Quit, When to Step in
C. Elegant Math Problem Finds the Best Choices
D. A One-Size-Fits-All Strategy for Decision-Makers
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多
余选项。Most of us enjoy pleasing others. Research suggests that “agreeableness” which is a personality
linked with altruism (利他主义), can boost joy, confidence and social connections. 3 6 It can
make us feel worn out and undervalued. These are warning signs of this behavior’s dark side:
chronic people-pleasing. While this isn’t a recognized diagnosis, it can still hurt our mental health.
Chronic people-pleasing reveals itself through several common signs. The first is over-
apologizing: saying sorry over and over even for small mistakes or when no apology is necessary.
People-pleasers may also take responsibility for other people’s feelings—sadness, anger or
disappointment. 37 Often, they hold a false belief that their own needs don’t matter and
expressing these needs will cause someone to abandon them.
Chronic people-pleasing has many causes. 3 8 This characteristic, called sociotropy,
has also been linked with low self-confidence and rejection sensitivity. For example, a study of 321
individuals found a connection between sociotropy and beliefs such as “I am unlovable” and “It is
important to be liked and approved by others.”
39 The impulse to please is often driven by a fear of loss. To manage people-pleasing,
it’s important to meet fear with curiosity. A helpful question to ask is: “What would I do if I weren’t
afraid?” Such a prompt can uncover hidden desires. This helps create the foundation for pursuing
meaningful goals, which is a key step toward transformation. 4 0 Start by identifying actions
that offer care and comfort. It could be taking a walk, drinking a cup of tea, calling a friend, or
spending time with a beloved pet.
A. Thus we consider it socially desirable.
B. Learning self-kindness is also beneficial.
C. They try to “fix them” even when it hurts.
D. Childhood experiences are often the root cause.
E. However, chronic people-pleasing can be changed.
F. Sometimes, though, pleasing others comes at a cost.
G. A high desire for social approval and acceptance may play a role.

Golden rays settled over the cornfields and the sun prepared to rest for the evening. Saying
goodbye to the clan(氏族), I headed back to camp, hoping to 41 my camera and reflect on
my time in Ethiopia.
Suddenly a voice sounded behind me. “Photo, photo, photo.” A young Surma boy about 7 or 8
years old followed closely at my heels. I breathed a 42 sigh. I had no energy to press the
shutter button one more time, no matter how 43 he was.

Looking at the boy’s joyful face, I recognized I had been caught in my own world. I focused on
looking for a(n) 51 result for myself but ignoring all the boy wanted was to be 52 for
a moment. It was the moment that needed to be 53 .

forcing my 55 on my subjects.

In the past, revenue(收益) in the music industry primarily come from album sales which
5 6 (market) by companies, and in extension was supplemented by concert tours, and radio
advertisements. During that period, many record labels controlled the production, distribution, and
promotion of music, while making sure that artists received 5 7 share of the profits.
In recent years, the gradual emergence of various streaming platforms 5 8 (shift) the
focus from ownership to access. Consumers no longer need to purchase physical albums or singles;
instead, they can pay subscription fee for stream music. Streaming platforms operate on a model5 9 revenue is gained primarily through subscriptions and advertisements. The payout per
stream is tiny, often 60 (range) from fractions of a cent to a few cents per play. For artists,
earning a sustainable income from streaming alone can be challenging.
In 61 (respond) to the disruption caused by streaming, there have been increasing
movements among artists and 62 (professional) to campaign for more compensation models.
Initiatives such as direct-to-fan platforms are gaining popularity. Additionally, some artists are
experimenting with alternative formats, such as limited-edition vinyl (黑胶唱片) releases or unique
digital content, 6 3 (create) rarity and drive higher revenues. These methods will help in
addressing the challenges 64 (pose) by streaming platforms and suggest a future where artists
have greater control over their income. For record labels, the key to success in the streaming era lies
65 innovation. There are some labels that are increasingly looking beyond traditional music
sales to diversify their revenue streams.

Dear fellow students,
第二节（满分25分）
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。
My family immigrated to the U.S. from Vietnam in 1990, when I was two. I spent my first five
years in America surrounded by the Vietnamese language. When I entered kindergarten, I was, in a
sense, immigrating all over again, except this time into English. Like any American child, I quickly
learned my ABCs. Within a few years, I had become fluent, but only in speech, not in the written
word.
One early winter afternoon, when I was in fourth grade, we got an assignment in language class:
we had two weeks to write a poem in honor of National Poetry Month. Normally, my poor writingabilities would excuse me from such assignments, and I would instead spend the class mindlessly
copying out passages from books I’d got from a blue plastic bin at the back of the room. As long as I
looked as though I were doing something smart, my shame and failure were hidden.
The trouble began when I decided to be dangerously ambitious. I decided to write a poem.
A handful of days had dragged by since I’d handed in my poem.
“Where is it?” the teacher asked. He held my poem up to the classroom lights, the way one
might examine counterfeit(假的) money. I could tell, by the slowly brightening room, that it had
started to snow. “Where is the poem you plagiarized(剽窃)? How did you even write something like
this?”
Then he tipped my desk toward me. I watched as the contents spilled out: pink erasers, crayons,
yellow pencils, wrinkled work sheets where dotted letters were filled in. But no poem. Little
moments of ice slamming themselves against the window, as the boys and girls, my peers, stared,
their faces skeptical, clearly believing I couldn’t have crafted such words on my own.
Standing there stiffly, my mind wandered back to weeks earlier when I had been in the library. I
sat on the floor beside a tape player, flipping(翻) through a box of speech collection cassettes until
my fingers paused on one labeled “I Have a Dream” —Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic address.
注意：
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；
(2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Then through the headset, a strong male voice came out.
“My poem is called If a Boy Could Dream,” I said, straightening my back.
