Rembrandt is widely considered the greatest artist of Dutch “Golden Age”. His masterpiece, The Night Watch, is on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The roughly 12 by 14 foot painting describes a group of civilian soldiers, preparing to protect Amsterdam from attack. In the scene, the captain, named Frans Banninck Cocq, is ordering his men to get information and get ready to march out. A young girl in the foreground serves as the group’s mascot. In reality, it’s simply covered in varnish（清漆）, making it appear darker than when Rembrandt painted it.
For decades, experts had been puzzled by the appearance throughout the painting of tiny “particles” of lead crystal s that rose to the surface seemingly out of nowhere. In2019, the Rijksmuseum launched Operation Night Watch to study the painting, hoping to learn more about the artist’s creative process. Since then, researchers working on the project have used AI to restore the painting to its full size. When they used X-rays to scan the painting and investigate its chemical composition, they discovered something unexpected under its surface: a layer that was full of lead— not a common glue layer then. “That confusion has finally been laid to rest,” said Fréderique Broers, lead researcher of the program.
Why, though, would Rembrandt coat the painting in a lead-rich substance One theory is that he wanted to protect it from humidity, wrote the researchers. He knew the painting would be hung on an outside wall at Kloveniersdoelen, a shooting range in Amsterdam, where it would be exposed to the elements. This is the first time that researchers have discovered a lead-base layer in any works created by Rembrandt. “Rembrandt likely accepted the uncommon technique as a promising safeguard for a painting. The new findings suggest that Rembrandt was open to exploring unconventional methods that were different from his standard practices in order to realize his unique artistic vision,” Broers said.
24．What do we know about The Night Watch
A．It is set in a war in Amsterdam.
B．It was created with special paint.
C．It shows the power of leadership.
D．It symbolizes Dutch “Golden Age”.
25．What mystery did the researchers reveal during Operation Night Watch
A．The original size of the painting.
B．The varnish’s role in the painting.
C．The content of the painting’s internal layer.
D．The techniques for preserving paintings then.
26．What might concern Rembrandt when he was coating The Night Watch
A．The accessibility of lead.
B．The price of the painting.
C．The reaction from the audience.
D．The climate of its exhibiting place.
27．What did Broers most probably think of Rembrandt
A．Cautious. B．Ambitious.
C．Reflective. D．Innovative.
C
Do you always think through possibilities before committing to even the smallest choices like what to wear, which menu item to pick, and when to do house chores If this sounds like you, you’re among many indecisive people who struggle with those issues. But are decisive people better at making decisions than indecisive people A recent study has cast light on that.
The starting point of the recent study into the differences between decisive and indecisive people was finding a reliable way of distinguishing participants. The research team used the Action Control Scale, a yes or no questionnaire about everyday choices and behavior, to reveal whether a person is action - or state-oriented.
Action-oriented people are more decisive and likely to take action. They are more flexible and likely to carry out their intentions in the face of challenges. By contrast, state-oriented people focus on their emotional states. They are more hesitant to commit to their choices, and abandon their commitments more frequently.
Researchers surveyed 723 people, from whom they chose the 60 most action-oriented and the 60 most state-oriented to take part in the main experiments. The participants went through a set of cognitive tasks, with low-risk choices. The team conducted a comparison of several cognitive processes between the two groups including evidence- processing speed, decision caution, initial bias（how much the choice is influenced by known knowledge）, and sensitivity（how accurately you can judge the correctness of your choice）. By examining these cognitive processes, researchers aimed to gain insights into the decision-making abilities and tendencies of the two groups.
They found that across all the experiments, action-oriented people were more confident in their choices. However, there were no divergences in correctness, speed, or sensitivity. Meanwhile, indecisive people were in no way worse at making choices.
Being less or more confident of the choice that has been made cannot affect the outcome. It can however influence future ones. State-oriented people are less confident of whether the choice is right, and it will possibly make pursuing their goals a much greater challenge.
28．What’s the purpose of the study
A．To tell decisive participants from indecisive ones.
B．To find out what makes people indecisive or decisive.
C．To clarify the importance and benefit of being decisive.
D．To study whether decisive people are better decision makers.
29．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3
A．Add some background information.
B．Introduce a new topic for discussion.
C．Summarize the previous paragraphs.
D．Provide some advice for the readers.
30．What does the underlined word “divergences” in paragraph 5 mean
A．Assignments. B．Connections.
C．Distinctions. D．Comparisons.
31．What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph
A．The critical factor behind different choices.
B．The correct way to be more confident.
C．The benefits gained by state-oriented people.
D．The influence of the confidence gap in the future.
D
Tesla’s self-driving cars are currently facing investigation after a report on crashes cast doubt on their safety. Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s claim that their Autopilot capability makes their cars “undoubtedly safer”, data suggests otherwise.
According to The Washington Post, the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with Tesla’s driver-assistance technology is higher than previously reported. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration（NHTSA）has recorded 736 crashes since 2019, with at least 17 of them being fatal. These figures include crashes involving both Autopilot, which allows cars to drive on highways without human intervention, and the newer Full Self-Driving feature, which extends automation to city streets. However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features. Additionally, when compared to the total number of car crashes that occurred last year, the number of crashes involving driver-assistance vehicles appears relatively small, but actually it’s not.
Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Moreover, Tesla’s customer base consists mainly of wealthier individuals who live in communities with lower accident rates.
Concerns are raised by Tesla’s request to the NHTSA not to reveal whether Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was in use during fatal crashes. This lack of transparency prevents a comprehensive analysis of the incidents and raises questions about responsibility.
Safety exaggerations combined with Tesla’s aggressive marketing have led to accidents caused by drivers relying too heavily on the system. Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. However, Tesla’s messaging may mislead some users into believing otherwise.
While a driverless future has the potential to be safer, it is crucial not to convince the public that underdeveloped capabilities are ready for widespread use. Tesla should address past problems, ensure their automation set can detect emergency vehicles, and be transparent with the public about the limitations of their technology. Rushing the implementation of such technology without addressing its limitations could lead to serious consequences on the road.
32．What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A．Tesla’s crash statistics have remained overreported up to now.
B．Tesla’s driver-assistance technology has been involved in more accidents.
C．Tesla’s safety features prevent more crashes on highways.
D．Tesla’s driver-assistance incidents were avoided with safety features.
33．What can be inferred about Tesla’s safety claims
A．They are supported by comprehensive data.
B．They are based on limited driving environment.
C．They are restricted to the wealthier customers.
D．Their accuracy is recognized by authorities.
34．What can we know about Full Self-Driving
A．It is well-received among customers.
B．It is expected to be launched.
C．It requires the human input.
D．It proves to be the safest option available.
35．Which title best summarizes the content of this text
A．Tesla’s Self-Driving Cars: Automobiles Raising Concerns and Questions
B．Tesla’s Self-Driving Cars: The Safest Option of Driving on the Road
C．The Future of Self-Driving Cars: A Closer Look at Tesla’s Technology
D．The Future of Self-Driving Cars: A Risky Attempt of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving

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。
In some ways, it is surprising that languages change. After all, they are passed down through the generations reliably enough for parents and children to communicate with each other. 36 For example, while Japanese has changed relatively little over a thousand years, English evolved rapidly in just a few centuries. Many present-day speakers find Shakespeare’s sixteenth-century plays difficult and Chaucer’s fourteenth- century The Canterbury Tales nearly impossible to read.
Languages change for a variety of reasons. Large-scale shifts often occur in response to social, economic, and political pressures, as there are many examples of language change fueled by invasions, colonization, and migration. 37 New technologies, industries, products and experiences simply require new words. By using new and emerging terms, we all drive language change. But the unique way that individuals speak also fuels language change because no two individuals use a language in exactly the same way. 38 Through our day-to-day interactions, we pick up words and sayings from other people and integrate them into our speech. Teens and young adults, for example, often use different words and phrases from their parents. Some of them spread through the population and slowly change the language.
39 Vocabulary can change quickly as new words are borrowed from other languages, or as words get coined, combined, or shortened. Some words are even created through misinterpretation of form. While vocabulary can change quickly, sentence structure— the order of words in a sentence changes more slowly. 40 For example, during the Great Vowel Shift five hundred years ago, the pronunciation of vowels in English changed dramatically. This shift represents the biggest difference between the pronunciation of Middle English and Modern English.
A．Changes in sound are somewhat harder to document but just as interesting.
B．As long as people are using a language, that language will undergo some change.
C．All natural languages change, and language change affects all areas of language use.
D．Yet linguists find that all living languages change over time— at different rates though.
E．The three main areas of language that change over time are vocabulary, sentence structure, and pronunciation.
F．Even without these kinds of influences, a language can change dramatically if enough users adopt a new way of speaking.
G．The vocabulary and phrases people use depend on where they live, their age, education level, social status and other factors.

One typical day, I was driving my Uber as usual. In the backseat sat two teenage boys, 41 by their phones. I could hear every word each phone produced. Neither passenger appeared to be 42 by the competing content of the other’s, but I could 43 hear the Uber navigation’s directions.
I asked, “Excuse me, do you have 44 ”
“No…”
“OK, could you turn down the volume I just can’t hear the driving directions.”
They both 45 , but I could not help but feel that I was the bad-tempered dinosaur 46 such a newly accepted cultural criterion. Therefore, I, who seem somewhat old fashioned, have coined a term to explain this behavior— Blasterbating, which means the loud 47 of digital content that is only intended for oneself, which all at close range have to 48 .
49 , I encountered a string of 50 on the subway, in airports, in the back of my Uber. To be honest, blasterbaters can be seen everywhere. Undoubtedly, this is rudeness for which there is a solution— earphones. On a personal note, however, the key is not to find an untraceable pair of earphones but to 51 our manners.
Yet, owing to the relatively rapid 52 of cellphones in modern life, questions of manners are often 53 . Even so, I still believe we can hold up a mirror to our use of them and make changes accordingly. I want the same 54 people feel when called out for smoking in public to be their fate with blasterbating. And I see no problem with this. Actually, that sounds to me like the best 55 to any book or film.

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。
In our classroom, we have something called a job wheel. Our teacher, Mr. Jones, puts all the jobs on a small inside circle, and he puts everyone’s name on a larger outside circle. At the beginning of each month, we give it a spin, eagerly waiting to see what our jobs might be.
For the longest time, I’d been hoping to land on the pet-care team. Finally, last month, it happened! Along with Miguel and Imani, I was tasked with looking after Harry the Hamster（仓鼠）, our class pet. It was a dream to come true for me.
We took our duties seriously, dividing up the tasks among us— feeding Harry, cleaning his tank, checking the temperature, and yes, even singing him songs. We were a committed team, making sure Harry was happy and healthy.
But then, one morning, disaster struck— the cover of the tank got loose and Harry was nowhere to be found. We searched high and low, turning the classroom upside down in our determined hunt for Harry. But despite our efforts, he remained nowhere to be seen. As the day wore on, my worry grew into full-blown anxiety. Thankfully, Miguel, Imani, and I knew how to help each other through tough times. Miguel reminded me to breathe, guiding me through calming breaths until my racing heart slowed its speed.
With Mr. Jones’ permission, we stayed after school for one final search. It was then that Iman i had a brilliant idea— to think like Harry. We brainstormed tricks to attract his attention and lead him back home, setting up a treat trail and creating a comfortable spot outside his tank.
And then, inspired by Harry’s love for our songs, we crafted a heartfelt song, requesting his return. “Are you having an adventure in some secret space below Did you join the circus doing daring tricks so high A little hamster walking on a tightrope in the sky.” Imani was the one who sang the last part, as we all kept looking around the classroom.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just as she sang the last word “sky”, she looked up. _______________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “But how can we prevent such a case from happening again ” Mr. Jones added.________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

After all, they are passed down through the generations reliably enough for parents and children to communicate with each other.”引入文章的话题语言的变化,后文“For example, while Japanese has changed relatively little over a thousand years, English evolved rapidly in just a few centuries.”用日语和英语的变化情况作为例子，D项“Yet linguists find that all living languages change over time— at different rates though.”符合语境，和前文对语言变化的惊讶构成转折,是后文的例证支持的观点,后文的“changed relatively little over a thousand years”“evolved rapidly in just a few centuries”解释了其中的“at different rates”。故选D。
37．F。前文“Languages change for a variety of reasons. Large-scale shifts often occur in response to social, economic, and political pressures, as there are many examples of language change fueled by invasions, colonization, and migration.”点明了本段的主旨语言变化的原因，介绍了外部宏观环境的原因，F项“Even without these kinds of influences, a language can change dramatically if enough users adopt a new way of speaking.”符合语境，承接前文，其中的“these kinds of influences”指前文的“social, economic, and political pressures”，介绍了使用者方面的原因作为补充。故选F。
38．G。前文“But the unique way that individuals speak also fuels language change because no two individuals use a language in exactly the same way.”提到了个体使用的语言存在差异，G项“The vocabulary and phrases people use depend on where they live, their age, education level, social status and other factors.”符合语境，具体解释了个体语言存在差异的原因。故选G。
39．E。空处位于段首,是段落的主旨句,需概括段落内容。后文“Vocabulary can change quickly as new words are borrowed from other languages, or as words get coined, combined, or shortened.”和“While vocabulary can change quickly, sentence structure— the order of words in a sentence changes more slowly.”以及“For example, during the Great Vowel Shift five hundred years ago, the pronunciation of vowels in English changed dramatically.”涉及语言变化中的词汇、句子结构和发音，E项“The three main areas of language that change over time are vocabulary, sentence structure, and pronunciation.”符合语境，概括了这三个方面的内容。故选E。
40．A。后文“For example, during the Great Vowel Shift five hundred years ago, the pronunciation of vowels in English changed dramatically. This shift represents the biggest difference between the pronunciation of Middle English and Modern English.”介绍的是语言变化的发音方面，A项“Changes in sound are somewhat harder to document but just as interesting.”符合语境，引起后文内容。故选 A。
【语篇导读】本文主要讲述作者在社交场合中发现的“音霸（blasterbating）”现象，该现象给人们带来的困扰，以及该行为背后折射出的礼仪缺失的问题。
41.B．根据该段的第二句和第三句可知，这两位青少年醉心于自己的手机，把声音开得很大，甚至都不受对方干扰，但是却导致“我”听不到导航的声音。
42.D。根据上一句可知，两位少年沉迷于自己的手机，所以俩人似乎都没有因为对方的手机音量太大而感到烦恼。bother vt.使烦恼,给······造成麻烦。
43.C。根据第一段的大意可知，作者这里想表示因为他们的手机音量太大导致“我”几乎听不到导航的声音。simply 简单地,仅仅，只不过； basically 基本上；barely 几乎不； totally 完全地，整个地。
44．A．根据接下来的对话以及倒数第二段的最后两句可知，这里是作者问俩少年有没有耳机，故选A。
45．D。该句的意思为“他们都听从了我的要求调小了音量，但我不禁觉得我是一个脾气暴躁且不懂变通的‘古人’，在质疑一种新兴文化标准”。故选D。
46．B。参考45题的解析。
47．B。该句的意思为“因此，似乎有点守旧的我创造了一个词来解释这种行为——音霸。音霸只顺自己，外放数字内容产生的很大的噪声，周围的人不得不忍受”。
48．D。参考47题的解析。catch up with赶上；come up with提出；get away with 逃脱惩罚； put up with忍受。
49．B。根据下一句中的“音霸”无处不在以及该句中的“a string of…”可以推断出，此处应该选B。该句的意思为“在地铁上、机场里、汽车后座上，我总是接二连三地遭遇这种攻击”。primarily 主要地，根本地；constantly 经常地，不断地； initially 起初；eventually 最终。
50．A。参考49题的解析。
51．C。该段第三句指出音霸现象的解决办法是配一副耳机。最后一句话的意思是“但是，在我看来，重点不在于找到那副丢失的耳机而是要找到我们的礼貌”。故此处选C。locate定位，这里表示找到。
52.B。该句的意思为“由于手机在现代生活中的迅速普及，礼仪问题通常被忽视了”。adoption 的意思是“采用，使用”。
53．C。参考52题的解析。
54.A。本段主要是作者针对“音霸”现象背后礼仪缺失的问题的态度。该句的意思为“我希望人们在使用手机制造噪声时，能像因在公共场合抽烟而受到责难时一样懊恼”。此处的 annoyance 就是懊恼的意思。
55．D。该段的最后两句话的意思是“我觉得这种做法并无不妥。事实上，我觉得这像是任何一本书或一部电影的最佳结局”。
56．returned。此处考查谓语动词。描述过去的事实，故用一般过去时。
57．which。此处考查定语从句。引导非限制性定语从句，指代整个主句，故用关系代词 which。
58．the。此处考查冠词。因为空格后有序数词 sixth,故用定冠词 the。
59．has achieved。此处考查谓语动词。根据句首的时间状语 Up to now可知，此处应用现在完成时态。
60．being opened。此处考查非谓语动词。空格前 to为介词，故此处用动名词，且为被动关系。
61．robotic。此处考查词性转换。根据空格后面的 arm可知，空格处需填形容词作定语。
62．emerging。此处考查非谓语动词作后置定语。
pletion。此处考查词性转换。根据空格前的 successful可以判断此处需填名词形式，表示“完成”。
64．to launch。此处考查谓语动词。be scheduled to do sth计划做某事。
65．in。此处考查介词短语的固定搭配。in expectation of 期望。

Dear Robert,
So delighted to learn that you are satisfied with your stay in China, and it was also a rewarding experience for me. Here are my recommendations for you to get a better understanding of Chinese architecture.
Beijing is a city with a long history and thus home to lots of well-preserved traditional architecture, including the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and the Great Wall, through which you can appreciate the beauty of authentic Chinese style and profound culture they carry. If you favour modern architecture, I strongly recommend you to visit Shanghai, where you will be overwhelmed not only by a picture of countless skyscrapers but also a sharp contrast to traditional Chinese architecture.
I’m happy to offer any help and wish you a wonderful journey in China.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
【导语】“我们”班的学生们轮流值日。一天，终于轮到“我”来照顾宠物仓鼠 Harry。突发意外，Harry不见了。“我”和两个伙伴在教室上方找到了它，并齐心协力解救了仓鼠。后又在琼斯老师的指导下做了进一步的工作，出色地完成了值日任务。
【段落续写】
①由第一段首句内容“她往上看”可知，第一段可描写发现仓鼠 Harry在教室上方（可以是在天花板上，吊顶风扇上，高架子上，只要是高处都可以），小伙伴三人齐心协力把 Harry抓了下来，并报告了老师。
②由第二段首句内容“‘怎么避免再次发生这种事呢？’琼斯先生补充道”可知，第二段可描写 Harry找回来后，小伙伴们想办法加固盖子（也可以是制作新的宠物箱，言之有理即可），给工作划下了圆满的句号。
【参考范文】
Just as she sang the last word “sky”, she looked up. “There it is!” She shouted excitedly, pointing to the top of the book shelf. Harry, on the edge of the shelf, was crawling anxiously. “Hold this tight for me.” Miguel grabbed a desk swiftly, climbed up and approached Harry carefully as Imani and I sang the song gently to help calm Harry down. As Miguel reached up with a treat in hand, Harry climbed onto his hand right away! The three of us burst into cheers, when Mr. Jones stepped into the classroom. “You three make a great rescue team!” Mr. Jones praised us with thumbs up.
“But how can we prevent such a case from happening again ” Mr. Jones added. We eyed each other and shouted confidently, “No problem, sir!” Mr. Jones nodded with content and left Harry with us. Putting Harry back to his tank carefully, we rechecked the cover. “One corner was broken. It won’t fit again.” Imani announced with a sour face. “My brother has an old hamster cage!” Miguel answered, putting heavy books on the cage for the night. The next day Miguel brought a new cage to school, which drew approval from the class. “That’s teamwork,” Miguel exclaimed. “Indeed, mate!” Imani and I replied, grinning from ear to ear.

Rembrandt is widely considered the greatest artist of Dutch “Golden Age”. His masterpiece, The Night Watch, is on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The roughly 12 by 14 foot painting describes a group of civilian soldiers, preparing to protect Amsterdam from attack. In the scene, the captain, named Frans Banninck Cocq, is ordering his men to get information and get ready to march out. A young girl in the foreground serves as the group’s mascot. In reality, it’s simply covered in varnish（清漆）, making it appear darker than when Rembrandt painted it.
For decades, experts had been puzzled by the appearance throughout the painting of tiny “particles” of lead crystal s that rose to the surface seemingly out of nowhere. In2019, the Rijksmuseum launched Operation Night Watch to study the painting, hoping to learn more about the artist’s creative process. Since then, researchers working on the project have used AI to restore the painting to its full size. When they used X-rays to scan the painting and investigate its chemical composition, they discovered something unexpected under its surface: a layer that was full of lead— not a common glue layer then. “That confusion has finally been laid to rest,” said Fréderique Broers, lead researcher of the program.
Why, though, would Rembrandt coat the painting in a lead-rich substance One theory is that he wanted to protect it from humidity, wrote the researchers. He knew the painting would be hung on an outside wall at Kloveniersdoelen, a shooting range in Amsterdam, where it would be exposed to the elements. This is the first time that researchers have discovered a lead-base layer in any works created by Rembrandt. “Rembrandt likely accepted the uncommon technique as a promising safeguard for a painting. The new findings suggest that Rembrandt was open to exploring unconventional methods that were different from his standard practices in order to realize his unique artistic vision,” Broers said.
24．What do we know about The Night Watch
A．It is set in a war in Amsterdam.
B．It was created with special paint.
C．It shows the power of leadership.
D．It symbolizes Dutch “Golden Age”.
25．What mystery did the researchers reveal during Operation Night Watch
A．The original size of the painting.
B．The varnish’s role in the painting.
C．The content of the painting’s internal layer.
D．The techniques for preserving paintings then.
26．What might concern Rembrandt when he was coating The Night Watch
A．The accessibility of lead.
B．The price of the painting.
C．The reaction from the audience.
D．The climate of its exhibiting place.
27．What did Broers most probably think of Rembrandt
A．Cautious. B．Ambitious.
C．Reflective. D．Innovative.
C
Do you always think through possibilities before committing to even the smallest choices like what to wear, which menu item to pick, and when to do house chores If this sounds like you, you’re among many indecisive people who struggle with those issues. But are decisive people better at making decisions than indecisive people A recent study has cast light on that.
The starting point of the recent study into the differences between decisive and indecisive people was finding a reliable way of distinguishing participants. The research team used the Action Control Scale, a yes or no questionnaire about everyday choices and behavior, to reveal whether a person is action - or state-oriented.
Action-oriented people are more decisive and likely to take action. They are more flexible and likely to carry out their intentions in the face of challenges. By contrast, state-oriented people focus on their emotional states. They are more hesitant to commit to their choices, and abandon their commitments more frequently.
Researchers surveyed 723 people, from whom they chose the 60 most action-oriented and the 60 most state-oriented to take part in the main experiments. The participants went through a set of cognitive tasks, with low-risk choices. The team conducted a comparison of several cognitive processes between the two groups including evidence- processing speed, decision caution, initial bias（how much the choice is influenced by known knowledge）, and sensitivity（how accurately you can judge the correctness of your choice）. By examining these cognitive processes, researchers aimed to gain insights into the decision-making abilities and tendencies of the two groups.
They found that across all the experiments, action-oriented people were more confident in their choices. However, there were no divergences in correctness, speed, or sensitivity. Meanwhile, indecisive people were in no way worse at making choices.
Being less or more confident of the choice that has been made cannot affect the outcome. It can however influence future ones. State-oriented people are less confident of whether the choice is right, and it will possibly make pursuing their goals a much greater challenge.
28．What’s the purpose of the study
A．To tell decisive participants from indecisive ones.
B．To find out what makes people indecisive or decisive.
C．To clarify the importance and benefit of being decisive.
D．To study whether decisive people are better decision makers.
29．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3
A．Add some background information.
B．Introduce a new topic for discussion.
C．Summarize the previous paragraphs.
D．Provide some advice for the readers.
30．What does the underlined word “divergences” in paragraph 5 mean
A．Assignments. B．Connections.
C．Distinctions. D．Comparisons.
31．What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph
A．The critical factor behind different choices.
B．The correct way to be more confident.
C．The benefits gained by state-oriented people.
D．The influence of the confidence gap in the future.

Tesla’s self-driving cars are currently facing investigation after a report on crashes cast doubt on their safety. Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s claim that their Autopilot capability makes their cars “undoubtedly safer”, data suggests otherwise.
According to The Washington Post, the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with Tesla’s driver-assistance technology is higher than previously reported. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration（NHTSA）has recorded 736 crashes since 2019, with at least 17 of them being fatal. These figures include crashes involving both Autopilot, which allows cars to drive on highways without human intervention, and the newer Full Self-Driving feature, which extends automation to city streets. However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features. Additionally, when compared to the total number of car crashes that occurred last year, the number of crashes involving driver-assistance vehicles appears relatively small, but actually it’s not.
Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Moreover, Tesla’s customer base consists mainly of wealthier individuals who live in communities with lower accident rates.
Concerns are raised by Tesla’s request to the NHTSA not to reveal whether Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was in use during fatal crashes. This lack of transparency prevents a comprehensive analysis of the incidents and raises questions about responsibility.
Safety exaggerations combined with Tesla’s aggressive marketing have led to accidents caused by drivers relying too heavily on the system. Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. However, Tesla’s messaging may mislead some users into believing otherwise.
While a driverless future has the potential to be safer, it is crucial not to convince the public that underdeveloped capabilities are ready for widespread use. Tesla should address past problems, ensure their automation set can detect emergency vehicles, and be transparent with the public about the limitations of their technology. Rushing the implementation of such technology without addressing its limitations could lead to serious consequences on the road.
32．What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A．Tesla’s crash statistics have remained overreported up to now.
B．Tesla’s driver-assistance technology has been involved in more accidents.
C．Tesla’s safety features prevent more crashes on highways.
D．Tesla’s driver-assistance incidents were avoided with safety features.
33．What can be inferred about Tesla’s safety claims
A．They are supported by comprehensive data.
B．They are based on limited driving environment.
C．They are restricted to the wealthier customers.
D．Their accuracy is recognized by authorities.
34．What can we know about Full Self-Driving
A．It is well-received among customers.
B．It is expected to be launched.
C．It requires the human input.
D．It proves to be the safest option available.
35．Which title best summarizes the content of this text
A．Tesla’s Self-Driving Cars: Automobiles Raising Concerns and Questions
B．Tesla’s Self-Driving Cars: The Safest Option of Driving on the Road
C．The Future of Self-Driving Cars: A Closer Look at Tesla’s Technology
D．The Future of Self-Driving Cars: A Risky Attempt of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving

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。
In some ways, it is surprising that languages change. After all, they are passed down through the generations reliably enough for parents and children to communicate with each other. 36 For example, while Japanese has changed relatively little over a thousand years, English evolved rapidly in just a few centuries. Many present-day speakers find Shakespeare’s sixteenth-century plays difficult and Chaucer’s fourteenth- century The Canterbury Tales nearly impossible to read.
Languages change for a variety of reasons. Large-scale shifts often occur in response to social, economic, and political pressures, as there are many examples of language change fueled by invasions, colonization, and migration. 37 New technologies, industries, products and experiences simply require new words. By using new and emerging terms, we all drive language change. But the unique way that individuals speak also fuels language change because no two individuals use a language in exactly the same way. 38 Through our day-to-day interactions, we pick up words and sayings from other people and integrate them into our speech. Teens and young adults, for example, often use different words and phrases from their parents. Some of them spread through the population and slowly change the language.
39 Vocabulary can change quickly as new words are borrowed from other languages, or as words get coined, combined, or shortened. Some words are even created through misinterpretation of form. While vocabulary can change quickly, sentence structure— the order of words in a sentence changes more slowly. 40 For example, during the Great Vowel Shift five hundred years ago, the pronunciation of vowels in English changed dramatically. This shift represents the biggest difference between the pronunciation of Middle English and Modern English.
A．Changes in sound are somewhat harder to document but just as interesting.
B．As long as people are using a language, that language will undergo some change.
C．All natural languages change, and language change affects all areas of language use.
D．Yet linguists find that all living languages change over time— at different rates though.
E．The three main areas of language that change over time are vocabulary, sentence structure, and pronunciation.
F．Even without these kinds of influences, a language can change dramatically if enough users adopt a new way of speaking.
G．The vocabulary and phrases people use depend on where they live, their age, education level, social status and other factors.

One typical day, I was driving my Uber as usual. In the backseat sat two teenage boys, 41 by their phones. I could hear every word each phone produced. Neither passenger appeared to be 42 by the competing content of the other’s, but I could 43 hear the Uber navigation’s directions.
I asked, “Excuse me, do you have 44 ”
“No…”
“OK, could you turn down the volume I just can’t hear the driving directions.”
They both 45 , but I could not help but feel that I was the bad-tempered dinosaur 46 such a newly accepted cultural criterion. Therefore, I, who seem somewhat old fashioned, have coined a term to explain this behavior— Blasterbating, which means the loud 47 of digital content that is only intended for oneself, which all at close range have to 48 .
49 , I encountered a string of 50 on the subway, in airports, in the back of my Uber. To be honest, blasterbaters can be seen everywhere. Undoubtedly, this is rudeness for which there is a solution— earphones. On a personal note, however, the key is not to find an untraceable pair of earphones but to 51 our manners.
Yet, owing to the relatively rapid 52 of cellphones in modern life, questions of manners are often 53 . Even so, I still believe we can hold up a mirror to our use of them and make changes accordingly. I want the same 54 people feel when called out for smoking in public to be their fate with blasterbating. And I see no problem with this. Actually, that sounds to me like the best 55 to any book or film.

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。
In our classroom, we have something called a job wheel. Our teacher, Mr. Jones, puts all the jobs on a small inside circle, and he puts everyone’s name on a larger outside circle. At the beginning of each month, we give it a spin, eagerly waiting to see what our jobs might be.
For the longest time, I’d been hoping to land on the pet-care team. Finally, last month, it happened! Along with Miguel and Imani, I was tasked with looking after Harry the Hamster（仓鼠）, our class pet. It was a dream to come true for me.
We took our duties seriously, dividing up the tasks among us— feeding Harry, cleaning his tank, checking the temperature, and yes, even singing him songs. We were a committed team, making sure Harry was happy and healthy.
But then, one morning, disaster struck— the cover of the tank got loose and Harry was nowhere to be found. We searched high and low, turning the classroom upside down in our determined hunt for Harry. But despite our efforts, he remained nowhere to be seen. As the day wore on, my worry grew into full-blown anxiety. Thankfully, Miguel, Imani, and I knew how to help each other through tough times. Miguel reminded me to breathe, guiding me through calming breaths until my racing heart slowed its speed.
With Mr. Jones’ permission, we stayed after school for one final search. It was then that Iman i had a brilliant idea— to think like Harry. We brainstormed tricks to attract his attention and lead him back home, setting up a treat trail and creating a comfortable spot outside his tank.
And then, inspired by Harry’s love for our songs, we crafted a heartfelt song, requesting his return. “Are you having an adventure in some secret space below Did you join the circus doing daring tricks so high A little hamster walking on a tightrope in the sky.” Imani was the one who sang the last part, as we all kept looking around the classroom.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just as she sang the last word “sky”, she looked up. _______________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “But how can we prevent such a case from happening again ” Mr. Jones added.________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【语篇导读】这是一篇推荐四档播客节目的文章，推荐的播客类型丰富，从脱口秀演员的自创播客，到《纽约客》与《国家地理》的播客栏目，听众们能够从这些播客中听到很多美国文化、文学与探险的故事。
21．C。根据第一段第一句话“If you have no difficulty in understanding what native English speakers say in daily life, there is a whole new world of brilliant podcast（播客）series to explore.”可知，要完全享受这些播客，对英语语言水平有要求，故选择C。
22．C。根据“The Writer’ s Voice”部分可知，这是一档作者自己朗读自己的作品的播客，在播客中分享自己的见解，故选择C。
23．B．根据“Overheard at National Geographic”部分中的“Discover all these on Overheard at National Geographic, a podcast produced by National Geographic employees during breaks.（在Overheard at National Geographic 上发现所有这些内容，这是《国家地理》员工在休息时间制作的播客。）”可知，这是一档工作人员分享工作经历的播客，故选择B。
24．A．从第一段可知，这幅画的背景是一场战争，A正确。B的 special没有体现，C没有体现，D是对文章第一句的误读。
25．C．从第二段可知，一直以来人们不能理解的是画外表下面的内部成分，使得表面有一种不同于其他画作的效果。
26．D．从第三段第二句可得到答案。
27．D．从最后一段的 unconventional可知，D正确。
28．D．从第一段最后两句可知，D正确。
29．A．这一段就是在补充说明什么是 action-oriented people，什么是 state-oriented people.
30．C．从 However这个转折可推出，这个词的意思应该是“不同，区别”。
31．D。文章最后一段提到自信和不自信不能影响结果，但是能影响未来的一些事情，所以很可能接着会谈到在未来这种自信差距带来的影响。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是特斯拉的自动驾驶车辆所受到的一些质疑和它自身存在的一些问题。
32．B。段落大意题。根据第二段段落大意可知，本段主要讲述了特斯拉辅助驾驶技术涉及的安全问题比想象的要多，故选择B。
33．B。推理判断题。根据第三段“Tesla’ s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Moreover, Tesla’s customer base consists mainly of wealthier individuals who live in communities with lower accident rates.（特斯拉的安全声明缺乏背景，因为自动驾驶仪主要是为高速公路设计的，而大多数事故发生在更复杂的环境中，有交叉路口、行人和骑自行车的人。此外，特斯拉的客户群主要是生活在事故率较低的社区的富裕人士。）”可知，特斯拉的安全声明是基于有限的驾驶环境。故选B。
34．C．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times.（全自动驾驶不允许汽车完全自动驾驶,司机需要保持注意力，随时准备干预。）”可知，全自动驾驶需要司机投入。故选C。
35．A。主旨大意题。根据第一段“Tesla’s self-driving cars are currently facing investigation after a report on crashes cast doubt on their safety. Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s claim that their Autopilot capability makes their cars ‘undoubtedly safer’, data suggests otherwise.（特斯拉的自动驾驶汽车正接受调查，因一份事故报告引发了对其安全性的质疑。尽管特斯拉首席执行官Elon Musk声称，他们的自动驾驶功能使他们的汽车’绝对更安全’，但数据显示并非如此。）”及后文的描述可知，本文主要讲的是特斯拉的自动驾驶车辆所受到的一些质疑和它自身存在的一些问题，因此最好的题目是A选项“Tesla’s Self-Driving Cars: Automobiles Raising Concerns and Questions（特斯拉自动驾驶汽车：带来困扰和问题的汽车）”。故选A。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了语言会随着时间而变化，其原因很多样，变化主要体现在词汇、句子结构和发音三个方面。
36．D。前文“In some ways, it is surprising that languages change. After all, they are passed down through the generations reliably enough for parents and children to communicate with each other.”引入文章的话题语言的变化,后文“For example, while Japanese has changed relatively little over a thousand years, English evolved rapidly in just a few centuries.”用日语和英语的变化情况作为例子，D项“Yet linguists find that all living languages change over time— at different rates though.”符合语境，和前文对语言变化的惊讶构成转折,是后文的例证支持的观点,后文的“changed relatively little over a thousand years”“evolved rapidly in just a few centuries”解释了其中的“at different rates”。故选D。
37．F。前文“Languages change for a variety of reasons. Large-scale shifts often occur in response to social, economic, and political pressures, as there are many examples of language change fueled by invasions, colonization, and migration.”点明了本段的主旨语言变化的原因，介绍了外部宏观环境的原因，F项“Even without these kinds of influences, a language can change dramatically if enough users adopt a new way of speaking.”符合语境，承接前文，其中的“these kinds of influences”指前文的“social, economic, and political pressures”，介绍了使用者方面的原因作为补充。故选F。
38．G。前文“But the unique way that individuals speak also fuels language change because no two individuals use a language in exactly the same way.”提到了个体使用的语言存在差异，G项“The vocabulary and phrases people use depend on where they live, their age, education level, social status and other factors.”符合语境，具体解释了个体语言存在差异的原因。故选G。
39．E。空处位于段首,是段落的主旨句,需概括段落内容。后文“Vocabulary can change quickly as new words are borrowed from other languages, or as words get coined, combined, or shortened.”和“While vocabulary can change quickly, sentence structure— the order of words in a sentence changes more slowly.”以及“For example, during the Great Vowel Shift five hundred years ago, the pronunciation of vowels in English changed dramatically.”涉及语言变化中的词汇、句子结构和发音，E项“The three main areas of language that change over time are vocabulary, sentence structure, and pronunciation.”符合语境，概括了这三个方面的内容。故选E。
40．A。后文“For example, during the Great Vowel Shift five hundred years ago, the pronunciation of vowels in English changed dramatically. This shift represents the biggest difference between the pronunciation of Middle English and Modern English.”介绍的是语言变化的发音方面，A项“Changes in sound are somewhat harder to document but just as interesting.”符合语境，引起后文内容。故选 A。
【语篇导读】本文主要讲述作者在社交场合中发现的“音霸（blasterbating）”现象，该现象给人们带来的困扰，以及该行为背后折射出的礼仪缺失的问题。
41.B．根据该段的第二句和第三句可知，这两位青少年醉心于自己的手机，把声音开得很大，甚至都不受对方干扰，但是却导致“我”听不到导航的声音。
42.D。根据上一句可知，两位少年沉迷于自己的手机，所以俩人似乎都没有因为对方的手机音量太大而感到烦恼。bother vt.使烦恼,给······造成麻烦。
43.C。根据第一段的大意可知，作者这里想表示因为他们的手机音量太大导致“我”几乎听不到导航的声音。simply 简单地,仅仅，只不过； basically 基本上；barely 几乎不； totally 完全地，整个地。
44．A．根据接下来的对话以及倒数第二段的最后两句可知，这里是作者问俩少年有没有耳机，故选A。
45．D。该句的意思为“他们都听从了我的要求调小了音量，但我不禁觉得我是一个脾气暴躁且不懂变通的‘古人’，在质疑一种新兴文化标准”。故选D。
46．B。参考45题的解析。
47．B。该句的意思为“因此，似乎有点守旧的我创造了一个词来解释这种行为——音霸。音霸只顺自己，外放数字内容产生的很大的噪声，周围的人不得不忍受”。
48．D。参考47题的解析。catch up with赶上；come up with提出；get away with 逃脱惩罚； put up with忍受。
49．B。根据下一句中的“音霸”无处不在以及该句中的“a string of…”可以推断出，此处应该选B。该句的意思为“在地铁上、机场里、汽车后座上，我总是接二连三地遭遇这种攻击”。primarily 主要地，根本地；constantly 经常地，不断地； initially 起初；eventually 最终。
50．A。参考49题的解析。
51．C。该段第三句指出音霸现象的解决办法是配一副耳机。最后一句话的意思是“但是，在我看来，重点不在于找到那副丢失的耳机而是要找到我们的礼貌”。故此处选C。locate定位，这里表示找到。
52.B。该句的意思为“由于手机在现代生活中的迅速普及，礼仪问题通常被忽视了”。adoption 的意思是“采用，使用”。
53．C。参考52题的解析。
54.A。本段主要是作者针对“音霸”现象背后礼仪缺失的问题的态度。该句的意思为“我希望人们在使用手机制造噪声时，能像因在公共场合抽烟而受到责难时一样懊恼”。此处的 annoyance 就是懊恼的意思。
55．D。该段的最后两句话的意思是“我觉得这种做法并无不妥。事实上，我觉得这像是任何一本书或一部电影的最佳结局”。
56．returned。此处考查谓语动词。描述过去的事实，故用一般过去时。
57．which。此处考查定语从句。引导非限制性定语从句，指代整个主句，故用关系代词 which。
58．the。此处考查冠词。因为空格后有序数词 sixth,故用定冠词 the。
59．has achieved。此处考查谓语动词。根据句首的时间状语 Up to now可知，此处应用现在完成时态。
60．being opened。此处考查非谓语动词。空格前 to为介词，故此处用动名词，且为被动关系。
61．robotic。此处考查词性转换。根据空格后面的 arm可知，空格处需填形容词作定语。
62．emerging。此处考查非谓语动词作后置定语。
pletion。此处考查词性转换。根据空格前的 successful可以判断此处需填名词形式，表示“完成”。
64．to launch。此处考查谓语动词。be scheduled to do sth计划做某事。
65．in。此处考查介词短语的固定搭配。in expectation of 期望。

【参考范文】
Dear Robert,
So delighted to learn that you are satisfied with your stay in China, and it was also a rewarding experience for me. Here are my recommendations for you to get a better understanding of Chinese architecture.
Beijing is a city with a long history and thus home to lots of well-preserved traditional architecture, including the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and the Great Wall, through which you can appreciate the beauty of authentic Chinese style and profound culture they carry. If you favour modern architecture, I strongly recommend you to visit Shanghai, where you will be overwhelmed not only by a picture of countless skyscrapers but also a sharp contrast to traditional Chinese architecture.
I’m happy to offer any help and wish you a wonderful journey in China.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
【导语】“我们”班的学生们轮流值日。一天，终于轮到“我”来照顾宠物仓鼠 Harry。突发意外，Harry不见了。“我”和两个伙伴在教室上方找到了它，并齐心协力解救了仓鼠。后又在琼斯老师的指导下做了进一步的工作，出色地完成了值日任务。
【段落续写】
①由第一段首句内容“她往上看”可知，第一段可描写发现仓鼠 Harry在教室上方（可以是在天花板上，吊顶风扇上，高架子上，只要是高处都可以），小伙伴三人齐心协力把 Harry抓了下来，并报告了老师。
②由第二段首句内容“‘怎么避免再次发生这种事呢？’琼斯先生补充道”可知，第二段可描写 Harry找回来后，小伙伴们想办法加固盖子（也可以是制作新的宠物箱，言之有理即可），给工作划下了圆满的句号。
【参考范文】
Just as she sang the last word “sky”, she looked up. “There it is!” She shouted excitedly, pointing to the top of the book shelf. Harry, on the edge of the shelf, was crawling anxiously. “Hold this tight for me.” Miguel grabbed a desk swiftly, climbed up and approached Harry carefully as Imani and I sang the song gently to help calm Harry down. As Miguel reached up with a treat in hand, Harry climbed onto his hand right away! The three of us burst into cheers, when Mr. Jones stepped into the classroom. “You three make a great rescue team!” Mr. Jones praised us with thumbs up.
“But how can we prevent such a case from happening again ” Mr. Jones added. We eyed each other and shouted confidently, “No problem, sir!” Mr. Jones nodded with content and left Harry with us. Putting Harry back to his tank carefully, we rechecked the cover. “One corner was broken. It won’t fit again.” Imani announced with a sour face. “My brother has an old hamster cage!” Miguel answered, putting heavy books on the cage for the night. The next day Miguel brought a new cage to school, which drew approval from the class. “That’s teamwork,” Miguel exclaimed. “Indeed, mate!” Imani and I replied, grinning from ear to ear.
