Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage
11．A．Making the wearer feel tired.
B．Gradually weakening an adult’s eyes.
C．The loss of vision in children.
D．Permanent change of the eye structure.
12．A．Working hard.
B．Wearing sunglasses.
C．Watching TV in poor light.
D．Reading in bed.
13．A．Ways of choosing eye glasses.
B．Suggestions of eyesight protection.
C．Untruths of eye glasses and eyesight.
D．Proven facts of the benefits of eye glasses.
【答案】11．C 12．D 13．C
【原文】There are many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts. For
instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too early weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show
that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can
prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have
glasses inappropriate for their eyes.
Most people believe that reading in poor light causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue. Too little light makes the
eyes work harder, so they do get tired. Eye tiredness also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching
too much television. However, although eye tiredness may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently
damage eyesight. Another false statement about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to
another. But if we keep clearing up the incorrect understanding and learning more about the eyes, someday a full
transplant may be possible.
Questions:
11. What harm can wearing wrong eye glasses cause?
12. What may cause eye tiredness?
13. What is the passage mainly about?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
14．A．By reviewing new words every day.
B．By studying the usage of the new word at night.
C．By connecting the new word with the “old” ones.
D．By applying the new word to daily conversations.
15．A．Desire to learn a new language.
B．Anxiety to visit a community.
C．Eagerness to have more sleep.
D．Wish to be connected.
16．A．Roles of dreams in school life.
B．Right attitudes towards language learning.
C．Connections between dreams and language learning.
D．Effective ways to memorize foreign language vocabulary.
【答案】14．C 15．A 16．C
【原文】Have you ever dreamt a multilingual dream? That is a dream in more than one language. It is often said
that if we dream in a foreign language, it’s a sign that we are making progress in learning that language. But is it
true? First, let’s look at sleep. The link between sleep and language can be applied to how we learn any language,
including our mother tongue. Even adults still learn about one new word every two days in their first language, but,
if we are going to have a firm grasp of that new word, we need to link it to our existing knowledge. And in order to
do that, we “need to have some sleep”. It’s during sleep that the combination of old and new knowledge happens.
The role that dreams play in this night-time learning process is still being studied, but it’s entirely possible that
during multilingual dreams, the brain is trying to connect two languages. Having multilingual dreams could also
have an emotional significance. Researchers suggest that multilingual dreams can express “fears and desires”
around learning a foreign language, including the wish to be a native-like speaker or to be accepted within a certain
community. We clearly still have a lot to learn about multilingual dreams, but one thing seems certain: if you’re
trying to learn a new language, you should definitely sleep on it.
Questions:
14. According to the passage, how can we have a firm grasp of a new word?
15. What kind of emotion can multilingual dreams tell?
16. What is the passage mainly about?
Questions 17 through 20 are bused on the following conversation.
17．A．13 years.
B．17 years.
C．20 years.
D．24 years.
18．A．The pressure from his competitors.
B．The high expectation from his parents.
C．The unforgettable matches he played on court.
D．The prizes he received from winning the championships.
19．A．Because he had an operation but got well soon.
B．Because he didn’t have enough rest before the match.
C．Because his family and team gave him a lot of support.
D．Because his belief and desire to win worked and helped.
20．A．Talkative and inspiring.

C．Modest and humorous.
D．Optimistic and realistic.
【答案】17．D 18．A 19．D 20．B
【原文】W: Hello everyone. This is Face-to-Face from Radio 1. With us today is the legendary tennis player
Roger Federer. Welcome, Mr. Federer.
M: Thank you for having me here.
W: So, Mr. Federer, we all know that you retired at the age of 41. How long did your professional tennis career
last?
M: Well, I picked up the racket when I was 3 and turned professional at the age of 17.
W: That’s a really long time. It’s interesting to note that you were also on the junior national football team. Why did
you choose tennis in the end? Did your parents have a say in your decision?
M: I have to say, no. They didn’t have too much expectation on me, but they always support my decision. I found
myself more into tennis when I was 13. And here I am.
W: A wise decision. Throughout your career, you played more than 1,500 matches. What kept you going?
M: I always believe that I was given a special talent. I became a top 100 player in just seven months. Also, my
competitors on court pushed me so hard that I had to keep on bettering my skills to win as many matches as I could.
The support from my amazing family, team and friends was another reason.
W: Then, what’s your most unforgettable match?
M: It was the 2017 Australian Open. At that time, I hadn’t trained for almost 6 months because of my severe knee
injury. I received an operation and it took me a long time to recover. I hadn’t expected that I would make it to the
final and win my title.
W: Amazing! How did you do that?
M: I guess it was my firm belief and desire to win that helped me along the journey. As I always say, if you believe,
you can go really far in your life. And on the tennis court, that is to win the championship.
W: Indeed. So sad that our time is up. Thank you, Mr. Federer.
Questions:
17. How long did Roger Federer’s professional career last?
18. What motivated Federer to keep on playing tennis?
19. Why was the 2017 Australian Open most unforgettable to Federer?
20. Which of the following best describes Federer?
II.Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1 分；共20 分）
Section A
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically
correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other
blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
（热点话题）In March of 2023, a strange video of Will Smith eating spaghetti was created using an early
text-to-video AI tool called ModelScope and released on Reddit, a popular content-sharing platform. The
technology, while impressive, was deeply limited in its ability to accurately represent the text hint some users even
described the video as “nightmarish”. Little did they know that a year later text-to-video AI would be creating
videos so realistic 21 they would blur (模糊) the line between the digital and the real.
If you've ever used a text-to-image generative AI tool like DALL-E, you'll see that text-to-video tools work
in a similar way. The user provides a hint, like “cat swimming in a fish tank,” and the tool creates a video 22
(base) on everything it knows about cats, water, fish and the physics of how they might interact. The tool makes use
of what are known as “visual patches (补丁)”, building blocks of data 23 help the AI to understand how
everything in the scene should interact and progress, frame by frame.
Tools that are based on a spread system, like OpenAI’s Sora, are trained 24 (recognize) objects so
they can improve images by deleting the incorrect visual patches. This process could be compared to a worker 25
(melt) raw gold multiple times in order to remove all its useless elements.
One of the remarkable things about OpenAI’s Sora is that it can generate content in a variety of styles. When
the project 26 (disclose) last February, OpenAI claimed that “Sora can generate videos up to a minute long
while maintaining visual quality and according to the user's hint.”
But there are limits of Sora’s capabilities. As OpenAI shows in some demo videos, the physics of how
objects interact in the videos doesn't always make sense. Sometimes people or objects 27 (mix) together,
transform into other things, disappear or appear out of nowhere. But if the technology can appear suddenly from the
strange spaghetti video to 28 it is now in a year, these limitations probably won't last long.
Besides OpenAI's Sora, Google has two products called Lumiere and VideoPoet, but like Sora, they 29
not be open for public use yet. These tools are still being seriously tested and improved to ensure that people can't
use them to produce inappropriate content or break laws.
In the meantime, you can still experiment with simple text-to-video tools 30 invideo AI, a creation
and education in mind. It's perfect for creating online courses, “explainer” videos or providing visuals for a short
story.
【答案】
21．that 22．based 23．that/which 24．to recognize 25．melting 26．was disclosed
27．will mix 28．where 29．may 30．like
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当前人工智能领域中，特别是文本到视频生成技术的最新进
展和应用。
21．考查固定搭配。句意：当时人们不会想到，一年后的文本生成视频AI 竟能创造出如此逼真的影像，
以至于模糊了数字与现实的界限。so...that...“如此……以至于”的固定搭配。故填that。
22．考查非谓语动词。句意：用户输入如“猫在鱼缸里游泳”的提示后，工具会基于其对猫、水、鱼类及
物理交互的全部认知生成视频。空格处应该用非谓语动词作状语，动词base 与句子的主语the tool 之间是
被动关系，所以用过去分词based 作状语。故填based。
23．考查定语从句。句意：该工具利用了所谓的“视觉补丁”，这些是数据的基本构建模块，能够帮助人
工智能逐帧理解场景中所有元素之间的相互作用以及如何发展。空格处引导定语从句，对先行词blocks of
data 进行限定说明，从句中缺少主语，所以应该用关系代词that 或which 代替先行词在从句中作主语。故
填that/which。
24．考查非谓语动词。句意：基于扩散系统的工具，例如OpenAI 的Sora，经过训练能够识别物体，从而
通过删除错误的视觉区块来提升图像质量。train somebody to do“训练某人做某事”是固定搭配，不定式作
补足语，此处用的是被动语态。故填to recognize。
25．考查非谓语动词。句意：这一过程可以与一名工人多次熔化生金以去除所有无用成分相提并论。空处
为非谓语动词，a worker 与melt 为主动关系，用现在分词作定语。故填melting。
26．考查时态和语态。句意：当该项目于去年二月公布时，OpenAI 声称“Sora 能够生成长达一分钟的视
频，同时保持视觉质量并根据用户的提示进行创作”。空格处是谓语动词，根据时间状语last February 可
知，描述过去发生的事，用一般过去时；主语the project 与动词disclose 之间是被动关系，用被动语态，主
语是单数形式，be 动词用was。故填was disclosed。
27．考查情态动词和动词。句意：有时，人物或物体可能会相互融合、变形为其他事物、凭空消失或突然
出现。根据句意和句中的sometimes 可知，此处“叙述在某种情况下是真实或可能的事”，所以应该用情
态动词will。故填will mix。
28．考查宾语从句。句意：但如果这项技术能在短短一年内从奇特的意大利面视频发展到如今的水平，那
么这些限制可能不会持续太久。根据句意和空格前的介词to 可知，空格后的部分是名宾语从句，空格处应
该填入一个连接词引导从句，且意义为“(在)……的地方；(在)……情况下”，所以，应该用连接副词
where。故填where。
29．考查情态动词。句意：除了OpenAI 的Sora 之外，谷歌还有两款名为Lumiere 和VideoPoet 的产品，但
和Sora 一样，这些产品可能尚未对公众开放使用。根据句意和空格后的动词原形be 可知，空格处应该填
入一个情态动词，且意义为“可能”，所以应该用may。故填may。
30．考查介词。句意：与此同时，你仍然可以尝试一些简单的文本到视频的工具，比如invideo AI，它以
创作和教育为目的。根据句意和空格后的例子invideo AI 可知，空格处应该填入一个介词，且意义为“像，
比如”，所以应该用介词like。故填like。

（热点话题）We need a fourth white traffic light to ease traffic jams
Engineers propose adding a white traffic light to let self-driving cars ease traffic jams. Studies show this
fourth light could help autonomous vehicles (AVs) manage traffic flow and reduce travel time.
Normally, the four-light system works like 31 three-light systems—red means stop, green means go.
However, when enough self-driving cars approach a crossroads, the white light activates, 32 the standard
signals. This tells human drivers that AVs are now directing vehicle 33 via wireless communication. Human
drivers must simply follow the car ahead— 34 its stops or movements.
A researcher, Dr. Ali, said, “Our ‘white phase’ concept taps into the computing power of AVs themselves.
Entitling some of the traffic flow control to AVs 35 in any AV case. But we must 36 the white light
concept at crossroads to clarify the situation for humans.” The colour of the ‘white light’ doesn’t matter. What’s
important is that there should be a signal that is clearly 37 by drivers.
Tests showed that small improvements in traffic flow 38 when as little as 10 per cent of the vehicles
at a crossroads were autonomous. Dr Ali said, “For example, when 10 per cent of vehicles are autonomous, you see
39 reduced by 3 per cent. When 30 per cent are autonomous, they are reduced by 10.7 per cent.” While AVs
aren’t ready for immediate use, researchers say it would require only minor 40 to crossroads and AV
software updates.
Critics warn that relying on humans to follow the “leader” rule poses risks, but the team believes this
balances innovation with clear communication during the transition to AVs.

（新题材）Are noise-cancelling headphones damaging our hearing skills?
Noise-cancelling headphones have become a popular choice for many, offering a way to block out
background noise and letting us enjoy music at lower volumes. 41 , some experts are worried that using
these headphones too much might make it harder for our brains to process sounds properly.
Renee Almeida, an audiologist (听力学家), has noticed a small increase in adults coming to her clinic with
42 issues. They might fail to 43 where a sound is coming from, or struggle to follow a conversation on
the train, in a bar or at a restaurant. The condition, known as auditory processing disorder (APD), is often
diagnosed in children, so the rise in adults with similar issues struck Almeida as 44 . Almeida suspects that
the widespread use of noise-cancelling headphones could be a 45 .
She explains that our brains are used to dealing with thousands of different sounds at the same time and
deciding which ones are worth paying attention to. 46 , when a dog barks outside, the brain quickly
identifies the sound and dismisses it as unimportant. However, noise-cancelling headphones 47 the brain to
a single source of sound, such as music or a podcast, potentially weakening its ability to process 48
sounds.
Almeida also notes that the overuse of noise-cancelling headphones could harm the developmental process
by which children learn to 49 sounds. For adults, it could make their brains lazy, just as muscles 50
without exercise. In both cases, people could struggle to distinguish speech from background noise.
Despite these 51 , there is currently no scientific evidence proving that noise-cancelling headphones
cause APD ．Nor is there sufficient data showing a rise in the condition. But Almeida believes the question
deserves attention.
Prof. Dani Tomlin from the University of Melbourne 52 that people who use noise-cancelling
headphones for long periods may find listening harder when they take them off. But she says “the 53
should not be overlooked”, for helping individuals to listen to music and movies on planes and trains. “Instead of
suggesting 54 noise-cancelling headphones, we need more comprehensive research studies,” she adds.
For now, Almeida recommends 55 like bone conduction headphones. She also encourages people to
actively engage in listening exercises to maintain their auditory processing skills.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished
statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according
to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
Every couple of weeks, Andrew Livingston, 22, stops on his way home from work for a drink — either a
beer or an espresso — in a setting where he typically finds like-minded guys.
His destination is the Williamsburg location of Blind Barber, where $45 haircuts are offered alongside beers
and ten types of coffee prepared near the hairdressing space. Along with his drink order, Mr. Livingston pays to get
a trim (修剪) while seated in one of four vintage salon chairs.
“For its biggest attraction, Blind Barber is a nice spot to catch your breath,” he said. “Especially in a place
like New York where guys face huge pressure, it’s important to have an environment like that, in which you can just
kind of de-stress and get relaxed.”
Blind Barber’s co-founder Jeff Laub said: “It’s not just about making $3 on a coffee. That coffee is supposed
to get customers relaxed, start a conversation and even develop a friendship.”
The cafe-barbershop is a growing trend with plenty of similar establishments blossoming in the city. Such a
place moves in the direction of what women do, but in a more “guy” way. Other traditional places for guys to hang
out together are bars, which are very noisy, so there’s no real potential for conversations.
Strictly speaking, these establishments do not bar women, but most schedule appointments at tight intervals
to accommodate short haircuts. They typically feature straight-razor shaves and brief trims. No wonder they are not
the favorite of most women customers who chase fancy styles.
Catering particularly to a taste-conscious group, these shops list haircut prices several times that of a
traditional men’s walk-in barbershop, and the decoration has more in common with a farm-to-table restaurant than a
beauty salon, except for an eye-catching display of scissors and combs.
Although hairdressing and comestibles would not seem to have much in common, for a specific group, a
cappuccino made from locally roasted beans is a natural accompaniment to high-end haircuts. “It’s definitely the
same group of customers,” said Jeff Laub. “It’s all one piece. The same people who aro going to get a great haircut
are the same people who aro keen to have the best coffee.”
56．Few female customers frequent Barber shops like Blind Barber because _______
A．they don’t serve female customers
B．they serve the kind of coffee which is not women customers’ favorite
C．they charge too much for simple hair cutting
D．the hairstyle they mainly provide is not what most women customers prefer
57．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Blind Barber features haircutting and bar atmosphere.
B．Blind Barber’s major advantage is that it helps reduce men’s pressure
C．Blind Barber makes 3 dollars from every customer.
D．Blind Barber is the only barbershop in Now York to combine haircut and coffee.
58．The underlined word “comestibles” is closest in meaning to _______
A．modern cities
B．food
C．gentlemen
D．companions
59．Blind Barber is quite different from traditional men’s walk-in barbershops in that _______
A．it has vintage salon chairs
B．it is located beside a coffee shop
C．it’s decorated to look like a restaurant
D．it shows haircutting tools
【答案】56．D 57．A 58．B 59．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种名为Blind Barber 的理发店，其将理发和咖啡结合在一起
吸引顾客。
56．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“They typically feature straight-razor shaves and brief trims. No wonder
they are not the favorite of most women customers who chase fancy styles.(它们的特点通常是直剃刀和短修剪。
难怪大多数追求花哨款式的女顾客不喜欢它们)”可知，很少有女性顾客光顾Blind Barber 这样的理发店，因
为他们主要提供的发型不是大多数女性顾客喜欢的。故选D。
57．细节理解题。根据第二段“His destination is the Williamsburg location of Blind Barber, where $45 haircuts
are offered alongside beers and ten types of coffee prepared near the hairdressing space. Along with his drink order,
Mr. Livingston pays to get a trim (修剪) while seated in one of four vintage salon chairs.(他的目的地是Blind
Barber 在威廉斯堡的分店，那里提供45 美元的理发服务，还有在美发区附近准备的啤酒和十种咖啡。除了
点饮料，利文斯顿还花钱在四把老式沙龙椅上理发)”可知，A 选项“Blind Barber 的特色是理发和酒吧氛
围”正确。故选A。
58．词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Catering particularly to a taste-conscious group, these shops list haircut
prices several times that of a traditional men’s walk-in barbershop, and the decoration has more in common with a
farm-to-table restaurant than a beauty salon, except for an eye-catching display of scissors and combs.(为了迎合注
重品味的人群，这些理发店列出的理发价格是传统男士步入式理发店的几倍，除了引人注目的剪刀和梳子
展示外，它们的装饰更像一家从农场到餐桌的餐厅，而不是美容院)”以及划线词上文“hairdressing and(美
发和……)”可知，此处指理发店中美发和食物融合在一起的情况，故划线词意思是“食物”。故选B。
59．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Catering particularly to a taste-conscious group, these shops list haircut
prices several times that of a traditional men’s walk-in barbershop, and the decoration has more in common with a
farm-to-table restaurant than a beauty salon, except for an eye-catching display of scissors and combs.(为了迎合注
重品味的人群，这些理发店列出的理发价格是传统男士步入式理发店的几倍，除了引人注目的剪刀和梳子
展示外，它们的装饰更像一家从农场到餐桌的餐厅，而不是美容院)”可知，Blind Barber 与传统的男士步入
式理发店有很大的不同，因为它的装饰看起来像一家餐厅。故选C。

Shipping containers, currently experiencing a major shortage, have a life of 10 to 15 years when used to
transport goods across oceans. So what happens to these massive and durable structures after that? Often they’re
recycled into low-cost storage—other times they simply sit in ports around the world. Now, architects are finding
new and improved ways to unlock their low-cost and sustainable development potential.
Sustainable Support System
On land that was meant to become a jail, instead stands a 60,500 square-foot housing facility supporting
unhoused people. The Care First Village holds 232 units, as well as a common building with laundry facilities,
dining areas and a dog park.
Performing Art Cart
The concept of the microtheater first began in Madrid, where audiences gathered to watch short
performances in different rooms of an old hotel. In 2021, Microtheater first appeared, hosting short plays in
shipping containers. Step inside and watch one or all of the original 15-minute shows.
Eco-Friendly Attraction
This is not your typical café. Its design, inspired by coffee trees, features 29 shipping containers piled in a
manner to look like branches. While a shipping container doesn’t typically scream “natural light,” skylight
windows are strategically placed throughout the structure.
Green Arena (竞技场)
Located on the Gulf shoreline, Stadium 974 is a 40,000-capacity arena created from 974 shipping containers.
The first temporary stadium in World Cup history, it will host FIFA World Cup matches this year—and then its
components will be shipped to countries in need around the world for repurposing.
Mach 1
“Every single thing you buy in the world has been transported in these things,” artist David Mach says of his
fascination with shipping containers. While still in the design stages, his sculpture will soon have a home in
Edinburgh Park, with a coffee bar and exhibition space available to visitors inside.
60．Why might architects be interested in using shipping containers for construction?
A．They are not expensive but long-lasting.
B．They are perfectly fit for temporary structures.
C．They offer a creative and cost-effective building material.
D．They are more durable than traditional concrete buildings.
61．How does the concept of Stadium 974 differ from other projects mentioned in the passage?
A．It is designed as an artistic landmark in a public space.
B．It is the only project designed to be temporary and relocated.
C．It is a creative approach to providing short-term living spaces.
D．It serves as a multifunctional place for performances.
62．Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A．How to deal with a global container shortage
B．How to plan a sustainable life in containers
C．How to build creative container homes
D．How to give containers a second life
【答案】60．C 61．B 62．D
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了航运集装箱在结束其运输使命后，如何被建筑师和设计师们
重新利用，转化为可持续的、低成本的建筑项目。
60．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“So what happens to these massive and durable structures after that? Often
they’re recycled into low-cost storage—other times they simply sit in ports around the world. Now, architects are
finding new and improved ways to unlock their low-cost and sustainable development potential.(那么，在那之后，
这些巨大且耐用的集装箱会怎么样呢？它们常常被回收改造成低成本的储物空间，而其他时候，它们就只
是闲置在世界各地的港口。如今，建筑师们正在寻找新的、更好的方法，来挖掘它们在低成本和可持续发
展方面的潜力)”可知，建筑师们正在寻找新的、改进的方法来释放集装箱低成本和可持续发展的潜力。因

雕塑等。选项D“How to give containers a second life(如何赋予集装箱第二次生命)”可以作为本文的最佳标题，
准确地概括了文章的主旨，即通过各种方式对海运集装箱进行再利用，让它们在完成运输任务后有新的用
途。故选D。
C
In the early 20th century, Henry Ford revolutionized industrial production by integrating moving production
lines with mass labor, greatly lowering manufacturing costs and transforming the automobile from a luxury item
into an accessible means of transportation. Today, a similar shift is unfolding in the service industry, as digital
platforms use technological advancements and on-demand labor to deliver services that were once exclusive to the
wealthy. Companies such as Uber, Handy, and Instacart have special consumer access, enabling individuals to
secure personal drivers, household assistance, and grocery deliveries with minimal effort.
However, the scope of the on-demand economy extends far beyond convenience services. Increasingly,
essential professional areas, including healthcare, legal consultation, and business advisory services, are being
restructured through digital platforms. Startups like Medicast, Axiom, and Freelancer.com facilitate interactions
between independent professionals and clients in need of specialized expertise. Although still emerging, this
economic model is expanding at an unparalleled pace: Uber, established in 2009, now operates in over 50 countries
and had already reached a valuation of $40 billion by 2014.
Several critical factors have fueled the expansion of this economic transformation. The digital revolution has
not only enabled real-time connections between service providers and consumers but has also decentralized
traditional workflows. A single person equipped-with-a laptop can now produce Hollywood-quality media,
develop new software, or conduct in-depth legal research from virtually any location. This shift has got companies
to increasingly favor contract-based specialists over full-time employees, improving business flexibility while also
generating profits from previously untapped resources, such as personal vehicles or specialized expertise.
Beyond technological drivers, socio-economic shifts have further sped up this transition. The decline of
long-term job stability, worsened by automation and global outsourcing, has led to a decline in conventional
employment models. Meanwhile, society is becoming increasingly polarized between those who possess financial
capital but lack time and those with availability but limited financial means. The on-demand economy serves as a
mechanism through which these two groups can exchange value efficiently.
Yet, this transformation presents notable challenges. While consumers and flexibility-seeking workers
benefit, those reliant on stable, full-time employment with comprehensive benefits face growing uncertainty. Many
on-demand workers operate without traditional job security, healthcare provisions, or retirement plans, raising
complex regulatory and policy concerns. Governments must respond by modernizing labor laws, streamlining tax
frameworks for independent workers, and ensuring social protections become more adaptable to this evolving
employment landscape.
63．What is the defining characteristic of on-demand economy?
A．Digital platforms connect workers with customers when needed.
B．Businesses put more emphasis on the advancement of technology.
C．Markets rule out those unnecessary services to increase efficiency.
D．Companies hire more temporary workers than long-term employees.
64．Which example best illustrates the idea of “decentralizing traditional workflows”?
A．A company encourages employees to take part-time jobs.
B．A software developer works with a global team remotely.
C．A researcher does experiments in an advanced laboratory.
D．A business asks in-house staff to handle most operations.
65．Which of the following is a driving force of the economic transition introduced in the passage?
A．People tend to have either money or time.
B．Business flexibility benefits workers equally.
C．Full-time employees are becoming less available.
D．Automation is gradually replaced by global outsourcing.
66．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The on-demand economy guarantees better job opportunities.
B．Companies are seeking financial protection for on-demand workers.
C．Governments may struggle to keep up with changes in the job market.
D．Workers will no longer worry about employment benefits in the future.
【答案】63．A 64．B 65．A 66．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是按需经济（on-demand economy）的兴起、发展、驱动因素、影响
以及面临的挑战。
63．推理判断题。根据第一段“Today, a similar shift is unfolding in the service industry, as digital platforms use
technological advancements and on-demand labor to deliver services that were once exclusive to the wealthy.(如今，
服务业也正在经历类似的转变，数字平台利用技术进步和按需劳动力来提供曾经仅为富人所享有的服
务。)”可知，按需经济的定义特征是数字平台在需要时将员工与客户联系起来。故选A。
64．推理判断题。根据第三段“A single person equipped-with-a laptop can now produce Hollywood-quality
media, develop new software, or conduct in-depth legal research from virtually any location.(如今，一个配备笔记
本电脑的人几乎可以在任何地方制作出好莱坞级别的媒体内容、开发新软件或进行深入的法律研究。)”可
知，最能说明“分散传统工作流程”的概念的是软件开发人员与全球团队远程合作。故选B。
65．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Meanwhile, society is becoming increasingly polarized between those who
possess financial capital but lack time and those with availability but limited financial means. The on-demand
economy serves as a mechanism through which these two groups can exchange value efficiently.(与此同时，社会
正日益分化为两类人：一类是拥有资金但缺乏时间的人，另一类是有时间但资金有限的人。按需经济为这
两类人提供了一种高效交换价值的机制。)”可知，经济转型的驱动力是人们要么有钱，要么有时间。故选
A。
66．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Governments must respond by modernizing labor laws, streamlining tax
frameworks for independent workers, and ensuring social protections become more adaptable to this evolving
employment landscape.(政府必须采取措施，使劳动法现代化，简化独立劳动者的税收框架，并确保社会保
障更加适应这种不断变化的就业形势。)”可知，从最后一段可以推断出政府可能会努力跟上就业市场的变
化。故选C。

once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
（新题材）Genetic Testing
Genetic testing involves examining your DNA, the chemical database that carries instructions for your
body’s functions. It provides information for diagnosing, treating and preventing illness.
67 .
First, there is diagnostic testing. If you have indications of a disease that may be caused by genetic changes,
sometimes called mutated genes, it can reveal if you have the suspected disorder.
Then comes presymptomatic and predictive testing. 68 . The purpose is to evaluate an
individual’s likelihood of developing certain types of disorder, particularly when a family history of the condition
exists.
Pharmacogenetics is the study of how genetic variations influence individual responses to medications.
69 . And this testing approach is clinically valuable in determining the most effective medication for patients.
Testing during pregnancy, the state of having a baby developing inside the body, includes a range of medical
procedures performed to identify genetic abnormalities in the developing baby. Traditionally this is done by looking
at markers in blood or by interventional testing. Newer testing called cell-free DNA testing looks at a baby’s DNA
via a blood test done on the mother.
70 . It has become a standardized public health initiative within the first days of life to identify
babies at risk for treatable genetic, or body chemistry disorders. This type of genetic testing is important because if
results show there’s a disorder such as congenital hypothyroidism ( 先天性甲状腺功能减退症), care and
treatment can begin right away.
A．Newborn screening is the most frequently conducted kind of genetic testing.
B．The application of genetic testing varies according to defined medical indications.
C．However, it’s important to note that there is a slight potential risk to human health.
D．It refers to genetic analyses carried out prior to the beginning of unhealthy change.
E．It guarantees the safety of surgeries with the predetermined post-operative care guidelines.
F．By analyzing gene-drug interactions, clinicians achieve predictive accuracy in individualized drug response
patterns.

IV.Summary Writing (共10 分）
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more
than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Are Big Cities Overrated?
Judged by their revealed preferences, people love cities. Metropolises such as London and New York are
overcrowded, with house prices to match. Across the world, 25% of people live in cities of over a million, up from
just 15% six decades ago.
Economists tend to think this is a great development. Cities, they argue, benefit from “agglomeration”, the
consequence of so many people living in close quarters. For one thing, government and businesses can run more
efficiently: scale helps everything from public transport to the hiring of staff. For another, finding the next big idea
is easier when like-minded people crowd together. Although London makes up 15% of Britain’s population, it
accounts for 22% of its economic output.
But have economists overestimated the benefits of big cities? That is what a new working paper by Matthew
Turner and David Weil, both of Brown University, suggests. Their analysis applies existing estimates of the impact
of agglomeration on economic efficiency and the pace of invention to a model of the American economy. This
allows the researchers to answer a question: how different would America look if, from 1900 to 2010, no urban area
had grown to a population of more than 1 million people?
According to their calculations, the answer is “not all that much”. Growth would have been slower, but only
a bit: the researchers estimate that America’s total output would have been 8% lower in 2010 than it was in reality.
As Mr. Weil puts it: “Without big cities, we would still have modern life as we know it.”
There is plenty about city life that is unpleasant. In September, for instance, Eric Adams, New York’s mayor,
organized a “National Urban Rat Summit”, as part of his “war on rats”. It’s evident that big cities don’t just offer
growth; they come with their own sets of drawbacks and challenges as well.

Thank you for your timely reminder to consult the literature, and the tutor asked about the data source during the
interview.
【详解】考查时态、非谓语动词和原因状语从句。 原句可以转述为“你及时提醒我查阅文献帮助了我，
因为导师在面试中问到了数据来源。”；“你及时的提醒”表达为 your timely reminder，作主语；“查阅
文献”用 consult the literature，此处用动词不定式 to consult the literature 作后置定语，修饰reminder，表
明提醒的具体内容；“帮助我”用动宾结构help me，结合语境，事情发生在过去，所 help 要用过去式
helped；“因为，幸亏”用since 引导原因状语从句，在从句中，“导师”用the advisor 作主语，“问到”
用ask about，根据语境用一般过去时，即asked about，“数据来源”用 the source of the data 作宾语，
“在面试中”用 during the interview 作时间状语。 故翻译为Your timely reminder to consult the literature
helped me, since the advisor asked about the source of the data during the interview.
考查固定表达、时态、非谓语。 “幸亏你……” 用固定表达Thank you for...来表达；“你及时的提醒”
用your timely reminder 表达，作介词for 的宾语。 “查阅文献”用 consult the literature，此处用动词不定
式 to consult the literature 作后置定语，修饰reminder，表明提醒的具体内容。and 连接前后两个句子，起顺
承作用。“导师”用the tutor 表示，作后半句的主语。“问到”用ask about，结合语境，事情发生在过去，
所以ask 要用过去式asked。“数据来源”用the data source 表达，作ask about 的宾语。“在面试中”用
during the interview 作时间状语。故翻译为Thank you for your timely reminder to consult the literature, and the
tutor asked about the data source during the interview.
74．如何让莘莘学子更好地适应未来生活，很多高中和大学都已将该问题提上日程。(how) (汉译英)
【答案】How to enable numerous students to better adapt to future life has already been put on the agenda in
many senior high schools and universities.
It has already been put on the agenda by many senior high schools and universities how these educational
institutions can enable numerous students to better adapt to future life.
【详解】考查“疑问词 + 不定式”结构、动词短语、时态和语态。“如何让莘莘学子更好地适应未来生
活”作主语，可处理为“疑问词 + 不定式”复合结构，“如何”用疑问词how，“让莘莘学子”用enable
numerous students to，“更好地适应未来生活”用动词短语better adapt to future life，整体构成“疑问词 +
不定式”结构“how to enable numerous students to better adapt to future life；“已将……提上日程”作谓语，
用动词短语put...on the agenda，根据语境，事情已经发生，用现在完成时，且主语和谓语之间是被动关系，
所以用现在完成时的被动语态，主语是第三人称单数，用has already been put on the agenda；“很多高中和
大学”作地点状语，用介词短语in many senior high schools and universities。综上，全句译为：How to
enable numerous students to better adapt to future life has already been put on the agenda in many senior high
schools and universities.
75．不必焦虑，包粽子虽看似复杂，其实只要依循步骤操作，便能轻松掌握这一传统手艺。(craft)(汉译英)
【答案】There is no need to worry, because making Zongzi seems complex, but in fact we will be able to master
this traditional craft with ease as long as we follow the directions.
Don’t be anxious. Although making Zongzi seems complicated, in fact, as long as you follow the instructions, you
can easily master this traditional craft.
【详解】考查固定句式、原因状语从句、条件状语从句和短语。“不必焦虑”可使用固定句式“there is no
need to worry”，描述一般性事实用一般现在时态。“包粽子虽看似复杂，其实只要依循步骤操作，便能轻
松掌握这一传统手艺”是不必焦虑的原因，可处理成because 引导的原因状语从句，其中“包粽子虽看似
复杂”是从句中的分句，主语“包粽子”用动名词短语“making Zongzi”，“看似复杂”用“seem
complex”，是系表结构，描述一般性事实用一般现在时态seems complex；“其实只要依循步骤操作，便能
轻松掌握这一传统手艺”是并列分句，与前一分句之间有转折关系，用连词but 连接，“其实”用介词短
语“in fact”作状语，“只要依循步骤操作，便能轻松掌握这一传统手艺”需要处理为带条件状语从句的主
从复合句，主句“便能轻松掌握这一传统手艺”中补充主语we，译为we will be able to master this
traditional craft with ease，条件状语从句“只要依循步骤操作”可译为as long as we follow the directions。综
上，全句译为：There is no need to worry, because making Zongzi seems complex, but in fact we will be able to
master this traditional craft with ease as long as we follow the directions.

【答案】Artificial Intelligence and Learning: Opportunities and Challenges
Artificial intelligence has revolutionized education, offering both opportunities and challenges. One
significant benefit is personalized learning. AI-powered platforms can analyze students’ strengths and weaknesses,
providing tailored study plans and resources. For instance, adaptive learning systems can identify gaps in
knowledge and offer targeted exercises. However, a potential drawback is the over-reliance on technology. Students
might become too dependent on AI tools, undermining critical thinking and problem-solving skills if they merely
accept automated solutions without deep comprehension.
To address this, I propose integrating AI with traditional teaching methods. While AI can handle routine
tasks and data analysis, teachers should guide students in reflecting on AI-generated insights, encouraging
independent thinking. This hybrid approach combines the strengths of AI—efficiency and customization—with
human judgment, ensuring that technology enhances rather than replaces educational growth. By fostering a
balance between innovation and foundational skills, we can maximize AI's potential while mitigating its risks.
