第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Transit stations are often a place to be passed through on the way to somewhere else. Several, though, are
notable enough to deserve a visit.
Toronto’s Union Station, named a National Historic Site in 1975, is a magnificent Beaux-Arts landmark
covering an entire downtown block. Its 850-foot limestone (石灰岩) front has 40-foot Bedford limestone columns,
while the entrance hall’s herringbone (人字纹的) marble floors and wall-carved Canadian city names—John Lyle’s
special design—bring back memories of rail travel’s golden age. It opened in 1927 with great celebration and
remains Canada’s busiest transportation center.
Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus mixes Italianate Gothic Revival with Indian elements to make an
impressive building. Designed by Frederick Williams Stevens, its inside parts take ideas from Bombay School of
Art students, with very beautiful carvings and tile patterns. As the city’s transport heart, it is full of people—much
more crowded than London or Tokyo’s subways during rush hour—and shows Mumbai’s lively energy.
Vladivostok Station marks the end of the world’s longest Trans-Siberian Railway. Its outside looks almost
the same as Moscow’s Yaroslavsky Station. This old tsarist-style (沙皇风格) building had its outside fixed in 1994
and inside renewed in 1996. Nearby are the city’s birthplace square and the restored childhood home of Oscar-
winning actor Yul Brynner.
Los Angeles’ Union Station, with a classic California-inspired design, opened in 1939 as the largest rail
passenger terminal in the American West. Serving three rail lines, it combines classic and decorative styles, with
striking painted wooden ceilings and marble floors in its hall. Now part of the subway system after an expansion in
2016, it also hosts film shoots, weddings, and concerts.
1. What makes Toronto’s Union Station a “magnificent Beaux-Arts landmark”?
A. Its location in the downtown area. B. Its architectural design and artistic details.
C. Its status as Canada’s busiest transit center. D. The royal celebration when it opened in 1927.
2. Which station is known for its mixed architectural styles?
A. Toronto’s Union Station. B. Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus.
C. Vladivostok Station. D. Los Angeles’ Union Station.
3. What do Vladivostok Station and Los Angeles’ Union Station have in common?
A. Both were built in the 1930s.
B. Both serve as ends of famous rail lines.C. Both have undergone repair or functional update.
D. Both are closely linked to historical figures.
【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C
B
On a Saturday morning, I took my son to the Museum of Modern Art, eager to introduce him to the endless
world of artistic expression. Yet, as we stood before a breathtaking painting, my son suddenly asked, “Dad, how
much do you think this is worth?” The question caught me off guard. Instead of losing ourselves in the colors and
shapes, we were pulled into a discussion of numbers.
It was then that I became aware of how deeply we’ve fallen into the trap of quantification (量化). We measure
everything: steps, calories, likes. Consider how we approach dining. Do we truly enjoy the flavors and the
atmosphere? Or do we immediately take a photo for Instagram, checking how many likes it obtains, as if popularity
could justify the experience? The simple pleasure of a meal has been reduced to restaurant ratings and social media
engagement.
One evening, as I put on my running shoes, I hesitated. My smartwatch would track my pace, my heart rate,
and the distance. But what if I ran just to feel the wind against my skin? What if I moved for the pleasure of
movement? So I left the device behind. For the first time in years, I ran unburdened by numbers. There was just my
breath and the pounding of my feet on the pavement. It was liberating in a way I hadn’t anticipated.
That experience has made me realize that quantification offers the comforting illusion (幻觉) that we can
manage it when we’re afraid to face the unpredictable nature of life. Numbers can provide a false sense of security
in a chaotic existence. We assume if we can track life, we can master it. But happiness, love and wonder can’t be
quantified. In our obsession (痴迷) with measurement, we risk reducing our lives to data points, forgetting what
makes them rich.
Now, I resist reaching for the ruler. Life is not about keeping score but about being present wholeheartedly,
without the constant need to prove our worth through numbers. The things that matter most can only be lived.
4. Why did the author mention dining experiences in paragraph 2?
A. To criticize modern people’s dining habits.
B. To argue against the use of restaurant ratings.
C. To show how quantification affects daily activities.
D. To explain how technology enhances dining experiences.
5. What did the author discover after running without his smartwatch?
A. He needed better running shoes. B. He felt an unexpected sense of freedom.C. He achieved better running performance. D. He missed the motivation provided by numbers.
6. What makes people obsessed with quantification according to the author?
A. The resistance to changes. B. The pursuit of true happiness.
C. The pressure of social recognition. D. The desire for control over uncertainties.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Stop measuring and start living B. Technology reshapes our lives
C. Capture life’s beauty with cameras D. Precise measurement is vital for happiness
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A
C
Many species worldwide are threatened with extinction, and the Hainan gibbon (海南臂猿) is one of them.
Once widely found in the rain forests of Hainan Island, China, the Hainan gibbon has been pushed to the edge of
extinction due to the habitat loss and illegal hunting. Today, only 42 individuals remain, all living in a protected
area of just 6 square miles. However, there have been unconfirmed sightings in other areas, and finding any
remaining gibbons is a conservation priority. Due to the vast search area and the species’ rarity, traditional methods
are inefficient in tracking these animals.
“It is like playing Whack-a-Mole(打地鼠) in the dark. You need to hit the mole accurately at the right time and
place,” says lead author Jue Wang. “If you don’t manage the right spot at the right time, the species may die out
before you even know it was there.” “There is a huge area to search, but we don’t have a lot of money, so every
dollar must be used wisely,” says Xueze Song, a co-author from the University of Alabama.
To address the challenge of limited conservation resources, researchers at Queen’s University developed an
optimization model (优化模型) to make optimal conservation decisions under incomplete information. The model
updates the existence probability and extinction risk assessment of the species in real time based on the data
collected from ongoing surveys and then dynamically adjusts search and protection strategies. Through this
approach, it helps focus limited resources on the most crucial work, avoiding inefficiencies and wasted efforts
caused by traditional methods.
Using the advanced mathematical model the research team found that areas in which gibbons have never been
recorded before may actually be the best places to look, which runs counter to assumptions of traditional search
methods—species are likely to inhabit the areas where they have been previously observed.
“This approach has great benefits to wildlife agencies,” says Krysten Schuler, director of the Cornell Wildlife
Health Lab. “It might change how we collect data on wildlife.” Schuler and Jue Wang are now working together to
bring this approach into use in New York State.8. What can we know about Hainan gibbons?
A. Their population is rising annually.
B. They are beneficial to the rainforest.
C. They are easy to spot outside the protected area.
D. Their known population may be underestimated.
9. What does the author mainly illustrate by mentioning “playing Whack-a-Mole in the dark” in paragraph 2?
A. Tracking Hainan gibbons requires precise timing and location.
B. Traditional search methods are like blind attempts.
C. Hainan gibbons are as hard to catch as moles.
D. Conservation workers lack the skills to track rare species.
10. What is the main function of the optimization model?
A. To track Hainan gibbons’ daily habits in real time.
B. To find the cause of Hainan gibbons’ extinction.
C. To predict the exact number of Hainan gibbons in the wild.
D. To make smart conservation decisions despite limited information.
11. What does the underlined phrase “runs counter to” mean in paragraph 4?
A. goes against. B. clears up. C. supports. D. justifies.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A
D
Starting in early March, dozens of large, modern white machines began moving through the farmland in the
Netherlands. These machines are AI-enabled agricultural robots tasked with spotting special tulip bulbs (郁金香球
茎) to ensure a healthy tulip season. Such a robot is one of many new autonomous tools making their way onto
farms worldwide.
The robot, designed by a company called H2L Robotics, is officially called “Selector 180”. It uses GPS
coordinates (坐标) to autonomously drive through tulip fields and uses cameras to take thousands of photos. An AI
model then analyzes the photos and looks for the potentially diseased bulbs, which are often identifiable by
distinctive red lines on the bulbs’ leaves. The robot then picks them out and separates them from the healthy ones to
prevent the disease from spreading.
H2L Robotics Managing Director Erik de Jong said their AI models were trained using the knowledge of
specialized tulip farmers, known as “sickness spotters”, who previously performed the laborious inspections by
hand. H2L Robotics showed the farmers a number of images, and they then pointed out bulbs with signs of thevirus. In this way, farmers helped train the Selector 180’s model. As more farmers participated, the Selector 180’s
accuracy improved.
Machines like Selector l80 will become increasingly important. Erik de Jong noted that these human spotters
are typically older individuals who have been spotting sick tulips for decades, and their population is decreasing,
posing a real problem.
Farmers globally have been taking advantage of modern techniques to improve harvests with lower costs. In
addition to autonomous robots, farmers are using drones (无人机), satellite imagery, and remote sensors to detect
diseases or chemicals. Erik de Jong suggests systems like the Selector 180 could detect sickness in other crops, like
potatoes or onions.
However, robots are not a universal solution for all farmers, at least not yet. Autonomous technology and AI
require strong wireless Internet and large databases, which may not be available in some developing countries.
Some fruits and vegetables can be easily damaged by machine harvesting. Moreover, it may take time and data to
determine if the earlier cost of automation is profitable for farmers.
12. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By explaining a technical term. B. By describing a scene on a farm.
C. By introducing a natural phenomenon. D. By predicting future agricultural trends.
13. What is the main function of the Selector 180?
A. To record the growth cycle of tulips. B. To water crops using GPS technology.
C. To take photos of healthy tulip leaves. D. To detect and remove sick tulip bulbs.
14. What can be inferred about the AI model’s accuracy?
A. It varies greatly based on tulip species. B. It relies on human spotters’ sharp sight.
C. It benefits from the wisdom of crowds. D. It functions by checking leaf chemicals.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the wide application of robots in agriculture?
A. Objective. B. Appreciative. C. Supportive. D. Dismissive.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A

yourself.
Procrastinating (拖延) and abandoning goals. Procrastination can easily become a habit. ____19____One
common reason why teens let go of their goals is the desire for instant approval from others. But pursuing short-
term approval often comes at the cost of long-term success. Learn to enjoy the journey of working toward your
goals — it’s the process, not just the outcome, that shapes your character.
If you’re serious about breaking bad habits and building better ones, consider reading Atomic Habits by James
Clear or The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. ____20____ The world offers countless opportunities, and you
have hidden potential within you. Don’t let bad habits stand in the way of the extraordinary future you’re capable
of achieving.

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故事。
I’d hide in the art room whenever I could, paintbrush in hand. Since moving to Rivertown Middle last month, I
was the “quiet new kid”, slipping into class late, eating lunch alone, and only nodding silently when classmates
invited me to hang out. Talking felt like mixing contrasting paints: no matter how hard I tried, it never worked. But
art was my safe place. I’d blend soft blues into skies or sketch the oak tree behind the gym, and for a while,
loneliness faded.
Then Ms. Hale hung a notice: “Art Club starts Friday — we’re painting a cafeteria mural (壁画)!” My
stomach flipped. A club meant working with people, explaining my art, sharing my favorite watercolors. What if
they thought my work was boring? What if I messed up the mural? I stared at the paper until the bell rang, then
hurried out, determined to skip it.
Friday came, and I wandered by the cafeteria door, pretending to check my phone. Through the window, I saw
a girl sitting alone, twisting a paintbrush. She glanced at the other kids by the mural wall, then looked away, scared
to join. I knew that feeling too.
Taking a deep breath, I pushed open the door and walked directly in. The girl jumped, dropping her brush. I
mumbled a quiet “Sorry” and picked it up for her. “I’m Mia,” she said softly. “You’re here for the mural too?” I
nodded, throat tight. She moved her bag to make space for me, eyes drifting to the sketchbook under my arm. “Can
I... see your drawings?”I hesitated, then slid the sketchbook across the table. Her fingers brushed the page gently when she saw the
oak tree — its branches detailed, leaves shaded in soft greens. “This is nice,” she said. Then she showed me her
notebook filled with tiny, colorful ladybugs. I looked at the ladybugs, then at my oak tree, and said, “They’d fit...on
the trunk.” Mia’s eyes lit up. She grabbed a pencil and drew a ladybug next to the oak’s roots. “See? Perfect.”
We didn’t talk much after that, just passed paints back and forth as we refined the sketch. By the end of the
club hour, our page had all kinds of ladybugs crawling up the oak’s branches. Mia glanced at the clock, then back at
me. “Want to meet here early tomorrow?” she asked. I nodded— my chest light for the first time in weeks.
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。

【答案】 The next day, we claimed a corner of the mural wall. When we unrolled our sketch and started to
mix paints, a boy stopped by. My fingers tightened on the brush, but Mia waved him over. “Check this out! Our oak
and ladybugs will look great!” The boy’s eyes lit up, “Can I add a sparrow?” Soon, more kids joined, and we had
tiny daisies around the oak’s roots, and a butterfly near the branches. When someone asked how to make leaves
real, I told him about mixing yellow and green — words came easier than expected.
