Down House, home of Charles Darwin:
Fun fact
Charles Darwin, his wife, Emma, and their children lived at Down House for 40 years from 1838. Several rooms appear as if the family still live here: with croquet sets thrown into an under-stairs cupboard, a half-played game of backgammon on a side table and Emma’s knitting(毛线) left on a chair in the drawing room. Upstairs, an exhibition showcases Darwin’s voyage aboard HMS Beagle, including a reconstruction of his cabin. Outside, visitors can explore the sheltered gardens which Darwin used as an open-air laboratory, and the greenhouse in which he planted rare plants and devised botanical experiments.
No room at Down House escaped Darwin’s experiments. In the drawing room he once placed a jar of earthworms on the grand piano to see whether they could hear.
Getting there
A 15-minute drive from the A21/Farnborough. Free parking. The R8 bus from Orpington stops nearby (except Sundays) or the 146 bus from Bromley North and South terminates (终点站) in Downe village, half a mile from the property. The nearest railway stations are Chelsfield or Orpington, about four miles away.
Value for money
It’s ￡12 (adult), ￡7.20 (child), or ￡31.30 (family with 2 adults). Under 5s go free.
Opening hours
Open daily 10am-6pm from 30 March to 30 September; daily 10 a.m. — 5 p.m. between 1 to 31 October. Opening times vary through the winter (check website for details).
Verdict(评价)
8/10. An unstuffy educational, gentle day-trip attraction with friendly, knowledgeable staff.
1. What can visitors do in Down House
A. Play the grand piano. B. Set sail in HMS Beagle.
C. Explore Darwin’s work and life. D. Try food sourced from the garden.

The most valuable thing I ever lost was a pair of diamond earrings I bought many years ago at a charity auction (拍卖会). Though very beautiful, they were heavy and turned out to be painful to wear. I wrote about the lost earrings in my new children’s book, The Christmas Pig. When they reach the Land of the Lost, where the hero must go to rescue his most beloved toy, my earrings are angry that they aren’t treated with the respect they think they deserve. They soon find out that being made of diamonds counts for very little in the strange world where human-made objects go when lost, because a thing’s importance there depends on how much it’s truly loved.
The Christmas Pig explores a deep attachment to an old object. It’s about the journey of a boy, Jack, who is a little lost himself but discovers his bravery and ability to love in a strange world. Of all the books I’ve written, this is the one that made me cry the most, because I was dealing with emotions that run deep in all of us. Loss and change are hard for children, and acceptance of these unavoidable parts of life isn’t much easier for adults. The Christmas Pig shows how human beings-even small, lost ones-are capable of wonderful, heroic acts.
A very strange thing happened on the day I finished editing The Christmas Pig. After emailing the final version to my editor, I set about clearing out a cupboard. The last object I picked up was a small box. I opened it. There were my long-lost diamond earrings. I’ve decided to sell them and give the money to a charity. I think it will be a nice ending for my earrings’ story to have them do some good for children in the Land of the Living.
How many times have I been asked whether I believe in magic On the day I finished The Christmas Pig, for a few shining moments, I really did.
4. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To advertise her first children’s book. B. To reveal our attachment to old objects.
C. To tell a story happening in a strange world. D. To introduce her new book and the story behind it.
5. What is The Christmas Pig mainly about
A. A boy discovered bravery in the real world. B. A boy was weighed down by some earrings.
C. A boy saved his lost toy in the magical world. D. A boy helped the earrings find their own value.
6. Why did the book make the author cry the most
A. The boy dealt with loss and change bravely.
B. It was based on her own past experiences.
C. She was unable to forgive herself.
D. Many adults could hardly understand the main character.
7. What does the author want to tell us through the story of her earrings
A. Magic in books can happen in real life. B. Sometimes warm magic can happen in life.
C. We should donate to help those in need. D. Lost things will turn up sooner or later.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要为作者讲述了关于她的新书《圣诞小猪》创作背后的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The most valuable thing I ever lost was a pair of diamond earrings I bought many years ago at a charity auction (拍卖会). Though very beautiful, they were heavy and turned out to be painful to wear. I wrote about the lost earrings in my new children’s book, The Christmas Pig.(我丢失过的最有价值的东西是多年前在一次慈善拍卖会上买的一对钻石耳环。虽然很漂亮，但它们很重，穿起来很痛。我在我的新儿童读物《圣诞猪》中写了关于丢失的耳环的故事)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍她的新书和背后的故事。故选D。

【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Of all the books I’ve written, this is the one that made me cry the most, because I was dealing with emotions that run deep in all of us. Loss and change are hard for children, and acceptance of these unavoidable parts of life isn’t much easier for adults. The Christmas Pig shows how human beings-even small, lost ones-are capable of wonderful, heroic acts.(在我写的所有书中，这本书是让我哭得最多的，因为我在处理我们所有人内心深处的情感。失去和改变对孩子来说很难，而接受生活中这些不可避免的部分对成年人来说也不容易。圣诞猪展示了人类——即使是弱小的、迷失的人——是如何能够做出精彩的英雄行为的)”可知，这本书让作者哭得最厉害，因为主人公成功地处理了失去和改变。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“How many times have I been asked whether I believe in magic On the day I finished The Christmas Pig, for a few shining moments, I really did.(有多少次我被问到是否相信魔法？在我完成《圣诞猪》的那一天，我真的做到了)”可推知，作者想通过她丢失耳环的故事告诉我们，有时书中的魔法也会发生在现实生活中。故选B。
C
In a 2012 study, Boaz Keysar, a professor at the University of Chicago in the US, led an experiment on the relationship between foreign languages and people’s way of thinking.
In the experiment, people were asked to make a choice: Just take one pound or take a 50percent chance of winning 2.50 pounds. When given this choice in their native language, most people took the safe option of only getting one pound. But they were more willing to make the riskier choice when asked in a foreign language, leading to more profits overall, according to The Guardian. As Keysar put it, “People just hate the chance of losing, but they hate it less in a foreign language.”
In another study published this year, Keysar and his team did an experiment in which participants were given a series of related words like “dream”, “snooze”, “bed” and “rest”. Later, when asked which words they remembered hearing, people were more likely to mistakenly remember “sleep”, which was not on the list, in their native language. But it was much less likely to happen if they did the test in a foreign language. As Keysar explained, people have more careful thinking when using a foreign language, leading to more accurate memories.
The foreign language effect may even influence our personality. Silvia Purpuri at the University of Trento, Italy, looked at people’s willingness to face uncertainty and enter unfamiliar situations. Being tolerant (宽容的) of uncertainty allows people to have more creative ideas and be more open to new things. It turns out that people naturally score more highly on this trait (特点) when they can speak or use a foreign language because speaking a foreign language requires taking risks.
The evidence is clear: By learning a foreign language, you’re not just learning a language—you’re gaining a new state of mind.
8. What does the first experiment suggest
A. People like expressing in a foreign language.
B. People are afraid of losing in face of money.
C. People make quick choices in their native language.
D. People prefer riskier decisions in a foreign language.
9. Which of the following best explains “accurate” underlined in paragraph 3
A. Colorful. B. Simple. C. Usual. D. Exact.
10. Willingness to face uncertainty makes people .
A. Cool-headed. B. Open-minded. C. Light-hearted. D. Easy-going.
11. What is the main idea of this text
A. Learning foreign languages helps a lot.
B. People should learn to face uncertainty.
C. Foreign languages influence how people think.
D. Personality has an effect on language learning.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，实验研究表明外语对于人们思维方式有影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“As Keysar put it, “People just hate the chance of losing, but they hate it less in a foreign language.” (正如Keysar所说，“人们只是讨厌失败的可能性，但在外语中他们就不那么讨厌了。”)”可知，人们在外语环境下更愿意冒险。故选D。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线处前“As Keysar explained, people have more careful thinking when using a foreign language, (正如Keysar解释的那样，人们在使用外语时会更仔细地思考)”可知，人们在使用外语时思考会更加仔细，因此也就会有更加准确的记忆。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Being tolerant (宽容的) of uncertainty allows people to have more creative ideas and be more open to new things. (对不确定性的宽容可以让人们有更多的创意，对新事物更开放。)”可知，乐意接受不确定性会使人们有更多创造性的想法，也更愿意接受新事物，也就是使人思维更加开放。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“In a 2012 study, Boaz Keysar, a professor at the University of Chicago in the US, led an experiment on the relationship between foreign languages and people’s way of thinking. (在2012年的一项研究中，美国芝加哥大学教授Boaz Keysar领导了一项关于外语与人们思维方式之间关系的实验。)”并结合全文可知，本文研究了外语对人们思维方式的影响。故选C。

How AI will transform education is very important to schools such as mine, teachers such as me, and hardworking care-givers such as the parents in my community. Could AI get our children to grasp new concepts and skills Might AI be better equipped to help them exploit their own intelligence After a few days watching my children use artificial intelligence-based learning tools, I can tell you the short answer is NO.
Human intelligence is different from the computer’s. For one, human intelligence can not be measured. The brain is plastic, always developing and growing as we learn from our environments. In addition, human intelligence relies on human interaction. Exercising our intelligence is something we do naturally as we connect with others, consider the world around us and seek to improve our relationship to that world.
In education, there has been a movement toward social-emotional and problem-based learning. So educators attempt to motivate interest in subjects and skills by turning learning moments into communal (共有的) problem-solving events. When we combine analytical learning with social- emotional learning, students become mastered in the material we want them to know and get more excited about the learning process.
Using AI looks very different from this. AI learning often involves an individual working alone with a computer program. It can crowd source information to help students find facts about their environment, solve a problem and come up with a creative way forward. But AI doesn’t force students to think through or keep anything. And simply being fed facts and information is not the same as “learning”.
It is fascinating to imagine that AI might cure what annoys us. Many parents don’t have the resources-in time, money or energy—to teach their kids at home. If AI could fill the gaps, how great, right Yet the nature of AI “teaching” as it currently exists means that students merely level up without learning. When it comes to developing intelligence, nothing can beat what we humans have been doing, face to face, for centuries.
12. What do we know about human intelligence according to paragraph 2
A. It is measured easily B. It is of great significance
C. It is related to education D. It is changeable and interactive
13. What can be inferred about AI learning from paragraph 4
A. It is widely used at school.
B. It makes no difference to education.
C. It helps develop students’ intelligence
D. It does little help with students’ true learning.
14. What is the author’s attitude to AI learning
A. Unclear B. Neutral C. Disapproving D. Favorable
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Could AI Really Teach Students
B. Should students Use AI Frequently
C. How Students Use AI in Their Study
D. How Teachers Interact with Students
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为议论文。通过观察孩子们使用基于人工智能的学习工具几天后，作者认为利用人工智能的学习，不是真正的学习模式，不利于学生开发智力，掌握新的概念和技能。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“For one, human intelligence can not be measured. The brain is plastic, always developing and growing as we learn from our environments. In addition, human intelligence relies on human interaction. (首先，人类的智力是无法测量的。大脑是可塑的，总是随着我们从环境中学习而发展和成长。此外，人类的智能依赖于人类的互动。)”可知，人类的智能因大脑的发展成长而一直在改变，同时也存在互动性。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“AI learning often involves an individual working alone with a computer program. It can crowd source information to help students find facts about their environment, solve a problem and come up with a creative way forward. But AI doesn’t force students to think through or keep anything. And simply being fed facts and information is not the same as ‘learning’. (人工智能学习通常需要一个人单独使用计算机程序。它可以集中资源信息，帮助学生找到有关环境的事实，解决问题，并提出创造性的前进道路。但人工智能不会强迫学生思考或保留任何东西。简单地接受事实和信息与‘学习’是不一样的。)”可知，人工智能学习的过程中，学生只是简单的接受事实和信息，没有思考或保留任何东西，并不是真正意义上的学习，所以对于学生的学习没什么帮助。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“After a few days watching my children use artificial intelligence-based learning tools, I can tell you the short answer is NO. (在观察了我的孩子们使用基于人工智能的学习工具几天后，我可以告诉你简短的答案是否定的。)”，以及最后一段“Many parents don’t have the resources—in time, money or energy—to teach their kids at home. If AI could fill the gaps, how great, right Yet the nature of AI ‘teaching’ as it currently exists means that students merely level up without learning. When it comes to developing intelligence, nothing can beat what we humans have been doing, face to face, for centuries. (许多父母没有足够的资源，无论是时间、金钱还是精力，在家教育孩子。如果人工智能能填补这些空白，那该有多好，对吧？然而，目前存在的人工智能‘教学’的本质意味着，学生只是在没有学习的情况下升级。说到发展智力，没有什么能比得上几个世纪以来我们人类面对面所做的事情。)”可知，作者认为发展只能还得靠人类面对面的教学，许多父母因没有足够的资源，无论是时间、金钱还是精力，在家教育孩子，而选择人工智能教孩子，其实人工智能并没有填补这些空白，故作者对人工智能是不赞同的。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“How AI will transform education is very important to schools such as mine, teachers such as me, and hardworking care-givers such as the parents in my community. Could AI get our children to grasp new concepts and skills Might AI be better equipped to help them exploit their own intelligence After a few days watching my children use artificial intelligence-based learning tools, I can tell you the short answer is NO. (人工智能将如何改变教育，对于像我这样的学校、像我这样的老师，以及像我所在社区的父母这样勤奋的照顾者来说，都是非常重要的。人工智能能让我们的孩子掌握新的概念和技能吗？人工智能是否能更好地帮助人类开发自己的智力？在观察了我的孩子们使用基于人工智能的学习工具几天后，我可以告诉你简短的答案是否定的。)”可知，作者列出多个问题，引出本文主题：人工智能能否教学生，Could AI Really Teach Students，适合作标题，故选A项。
第二节 七选五（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。
When you hear your friend passed an exam that you had failed earlier, will you share her happiness If you can feel the joy, congratulations! ___16___ Studies found that Freudenfreude contributes to kind acts, such as helping others. Celebrating the personal victories of other people can bring on more of our own.
___17___ Sometimes, your loss might really sting, making Freudenfreude feel out of reach. If you were raised in a family that paired winning with self-worth, you might misread someone else’s victory as your own personal shortcoming. And factors such as mental health and overall wellbeing can also affect your ability to participate in someone else’s joy. ___18___
One way to summon good feelings for others is to ask questions. You don’t need to wait for someone else’s good news to exercise Freudenfreude. Cultivate joy by inviting others to share their victories. ___19___ When you speak with them, be sure to maintain eye contact and listen attentively. This should motivate you to keep going and make you feel as if your efforts will pay off.
Because emotions are contagious (有感染力的), showing appreciation can also increase Freudenfroude. You can think of Freudenfreude as something you can spread when you’re experiencing personal joy. ___20___ Start by sharing your win, then tell the other person how you appreciate their help. Practicing gratitude is like sharing dessert: Both parties enjoy the sweetness of the moment, which enhances Freudenfreude for them both.
A. It is a term that describes the joy we feel when someone else succeeds.
B. You might ask: “what’s the best thing that happened to you this week ”
C. To do this, try giving others credit for their support that leads to your own.
D. While the benefits of Freudenfreude are plentiful, it doesn’t always come easily.
E. To better understand Freudenfreude, it is important to realize that it is a win-win.
F. Still, generating Freudenfreude is worthwhile and there are ways to encourage the feeling.
G. Finding pleasure in another person’s good fortune is what social scientists call Freudenfreude.
【答案】16. G 17. D 18. F 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主介绍了乐他人之幸的意义和方法。
【16题详解】
空后“Studies found that Freudenfreude contributes to kind acts, such as helping others.(研究发现，乐他人之幸有助于善良的行为，比如帮助别人)”说明了乐他人之幸的好处，空格处应该引出“乐他人之幸”这个概念，G选项“Finding pleasure in another person’s good fortune is what social scientists call Freudenfreude.(从别人的好运中寻找快乐就是社会科学家所说的“乐他人之幸”)”引出了“乐他人之幸”这个概念，符合语境，故选G。
【17题详解】
空格处是本段主题句，由空后“Sometimes, your loss might really sting, making Freudenfreude feel out of reach. If you were raised in a family that paired winning with self-worth, you might misread someone else’s victory as your own personal shortcoming. And factors such as mental health and overall wellbeing can also affect your ability to participate in someone else’s joy.(有时候，你的损失可能真的很刺痛，让你觉得自己遥不可及。如果你成长在一个把胜利和自我价值结合在一起的家庭，你可能会把别人的胜利误认为是你自己的缺点。心理健康和整体幸福感等因素也会影响你参与他人快乐的能力)”可知，本段主要讲的是“乐他人之幸”并不容易实现，D选项“While the benefits of Freudenfreude are plentiful, it doesn’t always come easily.(虽然“乐他人之幸”的好处很多，但它并不总是来得容易)”说明“乐他人之幸”不容易实现，因此概括了本段内容，可作为主题句，故选D。
【18题详解】
由空后一段的“One way to summon good feelings for others is to ask questions.(唤起对他人的好的感觉的一个方法是问问题)”可知，空后要讲实现“乐他人之幸”的方法，空格处应该是引起下文，F选项“Still, generating Freudenfreude is worthwhile and there are ways to encourage the feeling.(尽管如此，产生“乐他人之幸”是值得的，而且有一些方法可以鼓励这种感觉)”说明了有方法可以让人乐他人之幸，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选F。
【19题详解】
空前“One way to summon good feelings for others is to ask questions. You don’t need to wait for someone else’s good news to exercise Freudenfreude. Cultivate joy by inviting others to share their victories.(唤起对他人的好的感觉的一个方法是问问题。你不需要等待别人的好消息来锻炼你的“乐他人之幸”。通过邀请他人分享他们的胜利来培养快乐)”说明乐他人之幸的一个方法是问问题，空格处应该具体说明该问什么样的问题，B选项“You might ask: “what’s the best thing that happened to you this week ”(你可能会问：“本周发生在你身上最好的事情是什么？”)”举出了实际例子，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选B。
【20题详解】
空前“You can think of Freudenfreude as something you can spread when you’re experiencing personal joy.(你可以把乐他人之幸想象成当你经历个人快乐时可以传播的东西)”说明你可以把乐他人之幸想象成当你经历个人快乐时可以传播的东西，空后“Start by sharing your win, then tell the other person how you appreciate their help.(从分享你的胜利开始，然后告诉别人你是多么感激他们的帮助)”是具体的做法，因此空格处应该说该怎么做，C选项“To do this, try giving others credit for their support that leads to your own.(要做到这一点，试着把别人的支持归功于你自己)”说明的是笼统的做法，后文是具体的做法，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统绘画的代表作——《千里江山图》，介绍了其作者以及绘画特色等。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：《千里江山图》自12世纪创作以来，一直被奉为中国传统绘画的杰作。修饰可数名词单数“masterpiece”，泛指，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：但也许和作品本身一样令人惊奇的是，它是由一个十几岁的孩子创作的。担当表语，修饰the work，用形容词形式。Amaze的形容词形式有两个：amazing，意为“令人惊奇的”，修饰物；amazed，意为“感到惊奇的”，修饰人。故填amazing。
【38题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：但也许和作品本身一样令人惊奇的是，它是由一个十几岁的孩子创作的。这里为从句谓语动词，根据上下文可知，这个作品是12世纪的一个小男孩创作的，所以本句时态为一般过去时；主语为it，和动词create之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故填was created。
【39题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：王希孟在十几岁的时候就进入了国画学堂。固定搭配：in one’s teens，意为“在某人十几岁时”。故填teens。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：据说，宋徽宗发现了这个男孩在绘画方面的特殊才能，并亲自负责他的绘画教育。这里为非谓语动词担当主语补足语，构成句型：sb be said to…；根据下文的“taken”可知，用动词不定式的完成式。故填to have discovered。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：据说，宋徽宗发现了这个男孩在绘画方面的特殊才能，并亲自负责他的绘画教育。修饰动词用副词形式。故填personally。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：《千里河山图》长约12米，高约0.5米，展示了雾气笼罩的河流，远处是连绵起伏的山脉。这里为非谓语动词担当状语，和主句主语“A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains”之间为主动关系，用现在分词形式；出现在句首，首字母大写。故填Measuring。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：《千里河山图》长约12米，高约0.5米，展示了雾气笼罩的河流，远处是连绵起伏的山脉。这里为非谓语动词担当后置定语，和被修饰词“rivers”之间为被动关系，用过去分词形式。故填covered。
【44题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：画中不仅有渔村、凉亭和草屋，还有在江面上漂来漂去的渔夫，以及拥挤的市场上的买卖双方。固定搭配：not only…but(also)…，意为“不但……而且……”。故填but。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：画中不仅有渔村、凉亭和草屋，还有在江面上漂来漂去的渔夫，以及拥挤的市场上的买卖双方。这里为定语从句的关系代词，先行词为“fishermen”，在定语从句中担当主语，用关系代词who或that引导。故填who/that。
第三节 语法填空（共10小题：每题1分，满分10分）
46. In addition to this traditional medical treatment, he tried to put himself in situations ________ would bring about positive emotions. （用适当的词填空）

47. William Hastie once suggested that history informs us of past mistakes ________ we can learn without repeating them. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】from which
【解析】
【详解】考查短语和定语从句。句意：威廉·黑斯蒂曾经说过，历史告诉我们过去的错误，我们可以从中吸取教训，而不会重蹈覆辙。此处为“介词+关系词”形式的定语从句，短语learn from，从……中学习，关系词指代先行词past mistakes并在定语从句中作介词from的宾语，故填from which。

49. Currently, about 35,000 works ________(display) in over 300 rooms in the Louvre, and it would take a lifetime to see everything. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】are being displayed
【解析】
【详解】考查时态语态。句意：目前，大约有35000件作品在卢浮宫的300多个房间里展出，要看完这些作品需要一辈子的时间。 分析可知works与“display”之间是被动关系，根据时间状语Currently可知表示现阶段正在发生的事用现在进行时，故用现在进行时的被动语态。主语是复数，故填are being displayed。

51. Critical reasoning, together with problem-solving, ____________ (prepare) teenagers to make better decisions. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】prepares
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：批判性推理，连同解决问题的能力，可以帮助青少年做出更好的决定。分析句子可知，所填词为句子谓语动词，结合语境可知，句子是在陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时，短语together with / along with / as well as等连接两个并列的名词或代词做主语时，谓语动词的数由该结构前的名词或代词决定，本句由critical reasoning决定，“批判性推理”为不可数名词，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填prepares。
52. Then Needham began his lifelong research, ____________ ended up creating the greatest work-Science and Civilization in China. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】which
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：然后，Needham开始了他毕生的研究，最终创作了最伟大的作品——《中国科学与文明》。分析句子可知，此处为关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句，指代前面整个主句内容并在从句中作主语。故填which。
53. —The machine is working again!
—Yes, it broke down yesterday, but it_____________(fix). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】has been fixed
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：——机器又开始工作了! ——是的，它昨天坏了，但已经被修好了。根据句意可知，机器现在正在工作，因此这台机器已经被维修好了，表示过去发生的事情对现在造成的影响应用现在完成时，且主语it（指代machine）和动词fix之间是被动关系，应用现在完成时的被动语态，主语是it，助动词用has。故填has been fixed。
54. The air quality in the city, ______ is shown in the report, has improved over the past two months. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】as
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：如报告所示，该市的空气质量在过去两月中有所改善。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，关系词代指整个主句，在定语从句中作主语，且意为“正如”。故填as。
55. Every possible means ________ (use) to prevent the air pollution, but the sky is still not clear. (所给词适当形式填空)
【答案】has been used
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态语态。句意：人们已经使用了一切可能的方法来防止空气污染，但天空仍然不清清。分析句子可知，use是谓语动词，means单复数同形，根据every可判断此处是单数。因此后面的谓语动词用单数形式。根据文意判断，可知use这个动作与主语之间构成被动关系，且对现在造成影响，用现在完成时，因此填has been used。

Down House, home of Charles Darwin:
Fun fact
Charles Darwin, his wife, Emma, and their children lived at Down House for 40 years from 1838. Several rooms appear as if the family still live here: with croquet sets thrown into an under-stairs cupboard, a half-played game of backgammon on a side table and Emma’s knitting(毛线) left on a chair in the drawing room. Upstairs, an exhibition showcases Darwin’s voyage aboard HMS Beagle, including a reconstruction of his cabin. Outside, visitors can explore the sheltered gardens which Darwin used as an open-air laboratory, and the greenhouse in which he planted rare plants and devised botanical experiments.
No room at Down House escaped Darwin’s experiments. In the drawing room he once placed a jar of earthworms on the grand piano to see whether they could hear.

The R8 bus from Orpington stops nearby (except Sundays) or the 146 bus from Bromley North and South terminates (终点站) in Downe village, half a mile from the property. The nearest railway stations are Chelsfield or Orpington, about four miles away.
Value for money
It’s ￡12 (adult), ￡7.20 (child), or ￡31.30 (family with 2 adults). Under 5s go free.
Opening hours
Open daily 10am-6pm from 30 March to 30 September; daily 10 a.m. — 5 p.m. between 1 to 31 October. Opening times vary through the winter (check website for details).

The most valuable thing I ever lost was a pair of diamond earrings I bought many years ago at a charity auction (拍卖会). Though very beautiful, they were heavy and turned out to be painful to wear. I wrote about the lost earrings in my new children’s book, The Christmas Pig. When they reach the Land of the Lost, where the hero must go to rescue his most beloved toy, my earrings are angry that they aren’t treated with the respect they think they deserve. They soon find out that being made of diamonds counts for very little in the strange world where human-made objects go when lost, because a thing’s importance there depends on how much it’s truly loved.
The Christmas Pig explores a deep attachment to an old object. It’s about the journey of a boy, Jack, who is a little lost himself but discovers his bravery and ability to love in a strange world. Of all the books I’ve written, this is the one that made me cry the most, because I was dealing with emotions that run deep in all of us. Loss and change are hard for children, and acceptance of these unavoidable parts of life isn’t much easier for adults. The Christmas Pig shows how human beings-even small, lost ones-are capable of wonderful, heroic acts.
A very strange thing happened on the day I finished editing The Christmas Pig. After emailing the final version to my editor, I set about clearing out a cupboard. The last object I picked up was a small box. I opened it. There were my long-lost diamond earrings. I’ve decided to sell them and give the money to a charity. I think it will be a nice ending for my earrings’ story to have them do some good for children in the Land of the Living.
How many times have I been asked whether I believe in magic On the day I finished The Christmas Pig, for a few shining moments, I really did.

In a 2012 study, Boaz Keysar, a professor at the University of Chicago in the US, led an experiment on the relationship between foreign languages and people’s way of thinking.
In the experiment, people were asked to make a choice: Just take one pound or take a 50percent chance of winning 2.50 pounds. When given this choice in their native language, most people took the safe option of only getting one pound. But they were more willing to make the riskier choice when asked in a foreign language, leading to more profits overall, according to The Guardian. As Keysar put it, “People just hate the chance of losing, but they hate it less in a foreign language.”
In another study published this year, Keysar and his team did an experiment in which participants were given a series of related words like “dream”, “snooze”, “bed” and “rest”. Later, when asked which words they remembered hearing, people were more likely to mistakenly remember “sleep”, which was not on the list, in their native language. But it was much less likely to happen if they did the test in a foreign language. As Keysar explained, people have more careful thinking when using a foreign language, leading to more accurate memories.
The foreign language effect may even influence our personality. Silvia Purpuri at the University of Trento, Italy, looked at people’s willingness to face uncertainty and enter unfamiliar situations. Being tolerant (宽容的) of uncertainty allows people to have more creative ideas and be more open to new things. It turns out that people naturally score more highly on this trait (特点) when they can speak or use a foreign language because speaking a foreign language requires taking risks.
The evidence is clear: By learning a foreign language, you’re not just learning a language—you’re gaining a new state of mind.
8. What does the first experiment suggest
A. People like expressing in a foreign language.
B. People are afraid of losing in face of money.
C. People make quick choices in their native language.
D. People prefer riskier decisions in a foreign language.
9. Which of the following best explains “accurate” underlined in paragraph 3
A. Colorful. B. Simple. C. Usual. D. Exact.
10. Willingness to face uncertainty makes people .
A. Cool-headed. B. Open-minded. C. Light-hearted. D. Easy-going.
11. What is the main idea of this text
A. Learning foreign languages helps a lot.
B. People should learn to face uncertainty.
C. Foreign languages influence how people think.
D. Personality has an effect on language learning.

How AI will transform education is very important to schools such as mine, teachers such as me, and hardworking care-givers such as the parents in my community. Could AI get our children to grasp new concepts and skills Might AI be better equipped to help them exploit their own intelligence After a few days watching my children use artificial intelligence-based learning tools, I can tell you the short answer is NO.
Human intelligence is different from the computer’s. For one, human intelligence can not be measured. The brain is plastic, always developing and growing as we learn from our environments. In addition, human intelligence relies on human interaction. Exercising our intelligence is something we do naturally as we connect with others, consider the world around us and seek to improve our relationship to that world.
In education, there has been a movement toward social-emotional and problem-based learning. So educators attempt to motivate interest in subjects and skills by turning learning moments into communal (共有的) problem-solving events. When we combine analytical learning with social- emotional learning, students become mastered in the material we want them to know and get more excited about the learning process.
Using AI looks very different from this. AI learning often involves an individual working alone with a computer program. It can crowd source information to help students find facts about their environment, solve a problem and come up with a creative way forward. But AI doesn’t force students to think through or keep anything. And simply being fed facts and information is not the same as “learning”.
It is fascinating to imagine that AI might cure what annoys us. Many parents don’t have the resources-in time, money or energy—to teach their kids at home. If AI could fill the gaps, how great, right Yet the nature of AI “teaching” as it currently exists means that students merely level up without learning. When it comes to developing intelligence, nothing can beat what we humans have been doing, face to face, for centuries.
12. What do we know about human intelligence according to paragraph 2
A. It is measured easily B. It is of great significance
C. It is related to education D. It is changeable and interactive
13. What can be inferred about AI learning from paragraph 4
A It is widely used at school.
B. It makes no difference to education.
C. It helps develop students’ intelligence
D It does little help with students’ true learning.
14. What is the author’s attitude to AI learning
A. Unclear B. Neutral C. Disapproving D. Favorable
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Could AI Really Teach Students
B. Should students Use AI Frequently
C. How Students Use AI in Their Study
D. How Teachers Interact with Students

When you hear your friend passed an exam that you had failed earlier, will you share her happiness If you can feel the joy, congratulations! ___16___ Studies found that Freudenfreude contributes to kind acts, such as helping others. Celebrating the personal victories of other people can bring on more of our own.
___17___ Sometimes, your loss might really sting, making Freudenfreude feel out of reach. If you were raised in a family that paired winning with self-worth, you might misread someone else’s victory as your own personal shortcoming. And factors such as mental health and overall wellbeing can also affect your ability to participate in someone else’s joy. ___18___
One way to summon good feelings for others is to ask questions. You don’t need to wait for someone else’s good news to exercise Freudenfreude. Cultivate joy by inviting others to share their victories. ___19___ When you speak with them, be sure to maintain eye contact and listen attentively. This should motivate you to keep going and make you feel as if your efforts will pay off.
Because emotions are contagious (有感染力的), showing appreciation can also increase Freudenfroude. You can think of Freudenfreude as something you can spread when you’re experiencing personal joy. ___20___ Start by sharing your win, then tell the other person how you appreciate their help. Practicing gratitude is like sharing dessert: Both parties enjoy the sweetness of the moment, which enhances Freudenfreude for them both.

B. You might ask: “what’s the best thing that happened to you this week ”
