一、阅读理解（本大题共5小题）
Humans are always exploring new ways to feel, look and live better. As with everything else in life, our approach to keeping fit and healthy has changed over time. Here are four iconic fitness trends through the decades.
Aerobics — 1970s
Aerobics took off to improve the cardiovascular (心血管) system in a fun way and dance moves were combined with fitness movements, such as leg raises and marching in place. Aerobics inspired many different spin-offs from dance and step aerobics, to even water-based classes, all set to music.
Spinning — 1990s
Spinning launched cycling revolution in the 1990s which continues to this day, thanks to big-name gyms which have made cycling on fixed bikes a party for participants. Color changing lights, high-energy music and enthusiastic instructors have turned spin classes into a lively group activity which has attracted fans around the world.
CrossFit—2000s
CrossFit has been a team favorite in the fitness scene since the 2000s. The activity is competitive yet shared, with scores being tracked on a board. Classes typically last an hour or less, making each session an intense (强度的) and time-efficient workout which many are able to fit into their busy schedules.
HIIT — 2020s
HIIT, which stands for High Intensity Interval Training, has gained popularity recently, along with the rise of home workouts. Exercises, done in short, intense bursts, aim to build strength and endurance. It can be done through free online classes without any equipment, making it an affordable workout at home.
1．Which sport is mixed with dance
A．Aerobics. B．Spinning. C．CrossFit. D．HIIT.
2．What do Spinning and CrossFit have in common
A．They last for a short time. B．They can be group activities.
C．They need lights and music. D．They are both competitive sports.
3．Which of the following can best describe the HIIT
A．Graceful and intense. B．Economical and convenient.
C．Energetic and technical. D．Interesting and relaxing.
A friend recently showed me her planned trip to Italy. Over cups of tea, she laid out the trip in military order-the Colosseum, Pompeii, Venice…By the time she was done I was exhausted, and 1 hadn’t even set foot outside the house.
My way of travelling is different. I just pick a destination and then go there, leaving things to chance. This may not be for everybody, but leaping into the unknown, for me, has been great.
Take Greenland, for example: 1 found myself in a tiny village of just 40 people, with no place to stay. The locals welcomed me warmly, and I enjoyed a delightful supper with an Inuit family, completed with fantastic stories never found in guidebooks.
A few years back, driving through Iceland, I noticed an older woman sitting at a picnic table by a waterfall. I approached her, and asked if I could sit with her. She turned out to be a source of knowledge about the area, which we had all to ourselves, without a tourist in sight.
Wandering in Trinidad, I got on a coastal ship. On the way, a young woman talked to me and gave me a tip for a visit to a hidden local restaurant with delicious and affordable food. There, I enjoyed the meal surrounded by the relaxing local music.
As a teacher, I encourage my students to travel．Most of them have never gone outside; others even never left their hometown. In many cases, they express a sense of fear, of going someplace where they won’t know anybody. I try to remove their anxieties by sharing my own travel experiences, and the message that there are good people everywhere, and friendships are waiting to be started.
I once read a piece about regrets that people expressed later in their lives. One that struck me was, “I wish I had taken more chances.” Setting off little planning does mean taking a risk, but for me, it is rewarding.
4．Why did the author mention her friend’s travel plan
A．To recommend some best spots in Italy. B．To express her unconcern of friend’s plan.
C．To introduce her different way of traveling. D．To show her tiredness of making travel plans.
5．What can you learn from the author’s travel experiences
A．She visited a village with large population in Greenland.
B．She learnt fascinating stories about Inuit from guidebooks.
C．She saw the waterfall advised by an old woman in Iceland.
D．She enjoyed a meal in a local hidden restaurant in Trinidad.
6．What mainly stops the author’s students from traveling
A．Their lack of money. B．Their fear of unfamiliar places.
C．Their dislike of travelling abroad. D．Their inability to leave hometown.
7．What would be the best title for the passage
A．Friendships Start in Trips B．A Man is Rewarded with Plans
C．Travels Unprepared Bring Surprise D．Chances Favor the Focused Minds
Coffee is one of the most popular drinks worldwide. New findings from a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, suggest both benefits and drawbacks of coffee drinking. According to the study, drinking at least a cup of coffee per day can increase physical activity but reduce sleep, and may also raise the risk of abnormal heart beat.
The study, led by Dr. Gregory Marcus from the University of California, San Francisco, involved 100 healthy adults. Participants wore devices to track steps, sleep, blood sugar levels and heart rhythms. They spent two days drinking as much coffee as they liked, followed by two days without coffee, repeating this cycle for two weeks.
Findings revealed that on coffee-drinking days, participants took an average of 1,058 more steps but slept 36 fewer minutes. While coffee didn’t impact early heartbeats from the top chambers (心房) of the heart, it increased early heartbeats from the bottom chambers by 50%. These bottom chamber beats, called PVCs, can cause rapid heartbeats and, in some cases, lead to heart failure.
Dr. Peter Kistler from Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, emphasized that this was a short-term study in healthy volunteers. “This provides no information on the benefits or potential harms to long-term coffee drinking,” said Kistler. “This does not provide information on the impact of coffee in people with other health conditions, and generally the study participants consumed limited amounts of coffee.”
The study noted that genetic differences in caffeine metabolism (代谢) might influence individuals’ reactions to coffee. While coffee can motivate physical activity and enhance performance, it can also lead to reduced sleep and increased heart beats in some people. The effects of coffee should be considered in the context of personal health goals and tolerance levels. Marcus suggested that a personalized approach to coffee consumption could be most effective for determining its health effects.
8．How was the study conducted
A．By analyzing previous data. B．By evaluating survey information.
C．By tracking participants’ health data. D．By making a comparative experiment.
9．What do we know about the finding of the study
A．Coffee definitely causes heart failure.
B．Coffee impacts early heartbeats, but benefits sleep.
C．Coffee helps the sleep and lowers blood sugar levels.
D．Coffee motivates activities, but may increase heart risks.
10．What is Dr. Peter’s attitude towards the study
A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Objective. D．Indifferent.
11．What can you infer from the last paragraph
A．Coffee effects vary with people’s mood. B．Everyone benefits from coffee equally.
C．Genetics doesn’t influence coffee effects. D．Coffee intake depends on personal situation.
You might have experienced the frustration of being misunderstood by a smart speaker or AI assistant. For people with non-standard speech, this happens frequently. Israeli company Voiceitt aims to change that.
By using personalized voice models, its AI-powered speech recognition system helps people with speech impairments (损伤) caused by conditions like Parkinson’s disease, Down syndrome, or stroke communicate better with others.
For Voiceitt co-founder Sara Smolley, developing speech recognition for non-standard speech patterns is a personal mission. “My grandmother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease,” she said. “By the time I was born, she had lost most of her motor capabilities, and her speech was affected.” Smolley wanted to solve communication problems for people with speech difficulties.
Voiceitt was launched as an app in 2023 and operated as a vocal translator, converting non-standard speech into audio. Users train the AI by recording themselves saying about 200 simple phrases. Voiceitt cooperates with tools like WebEx and ChatGPT, providing captions (字幕) for non-standard speech. The company is also partnering with Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
Colin Hughes, who has a muscle disorder, uses voice typing for his digital interactions. He’s impressed with how accurately Voiceitt’s app understands his unique way of speaking. But he points out that many people with upper-limb disabilities need more than just speech-to-text. They need something like better voice typing for longer writing. He sees a future where technology plays a bigger role in accessibility, adding, “This entire field needs a shake-up. Voiceitt, with better access to major platforms, could be the one to lead this change.”
With technology that captures and stores personal data such as voice recordings, privacy can be a concern for users. Smolley says her company has “the highest standards in the world in terms of data privacy”. She believes Voiceitt’s technology can be life-changing. “We want to allow people not just to be more independent in their lives and work,” says Smolley, “but also to enjoy technology and have fun.”
12．What inspires Sara Smolley to develop the AI-speech recognition system
A．Her desire to advance artificial intelligence.
B．Her passion for technology communication.
C．Her determination to cure people of speech disease.
D．Her hope to settle grandmother’s communication problems.
13．What does the underlined word “converting” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Applying. B．Keeping. C．Changing. D．Limiting.
14．What does Colin’s words imply in paragraph 5
A．Voiceitt can be a pioneering tool. B．Voiceitt focuses on speech-to-text.
C．Voiceitt understands personal feelings. D．Voiceitt can team up with tech companies.
15．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To introduce a new speech recognition system.
B．To show the limitations of current speech recognition.
C．To highlight the need to help people with speech issues.
D．To explain the difficulties of Al-powered speech recognition.
Many people suffer from low self-confidence, which may negatively impact mental health. Then, the following tips can help you increase your confidence and become a better person.
Know your dream
16 . The first step to greater self-confidence is identifying that purpose — your reason for getting on with life. A good way to do this is to write a paragraph or maybe two that outlines where you want to be.
Write down your goals and how to achieve them
When setting goals, it’s not enough to simply write down what you want to achieve. 17 . For instance, if your goal is a promotion, your plan should include studying for the required qualifications. Keep control of your goals by focusing on your actions and taking responsibility for your journey.
Learn from successful people
There are plenty of self-help books written by people who have not really tasted success. What they write is not based on experience. Choose a book written by a successful person, and you will be getting the benefit of first-hand experience. There are an increasing number of billionaires who write their memoirs. 18 .
19
Now, focus on self-care. Start with the basics: healthy eating, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep. These simple habits will make you feel better physically and mentally. Finally, when faced with new situations, approach them with a positive and open mindset. Take time to adjust if necessary, like grabbing a coffee and chatting with colleagues to ease the transition.
Try new things often
Every now and then break out of a boring routine and try something new. 20 . Try to find an activity where you can learn a skill. Learn a craft, a sport, or go to a dance class. And the great thing is that as you become better and more skilled, your confidence will grow.
A．Your life needs a purpose.
B．Manage your state of mind.
C．Make sure what you want to do.
D．Don’t just limit this to going somewhere different.
E．You must also include a means of achieving that goal.
F．Remember that luck doesn’t play a part in you achieving your goals.
G．And you will benefit from those books than those based just on theory.

After about a century of research, scientists in Switzerland have finally solved the mystery of the holes in Swiss cheese. Despite what you may have been told as 36 child, the holes are not caused by mice nibbling away inside cheese wheels. 37 (expert) from Agroscope, a state center for 38 (agriculture) research, said the phenomenon was caused by tiny bits of hay (干草) present in the milk during the cheese-making process and not bacteria as 39 (previous) thought. They found that the mysterious holes became smaller or disappeared when milk 40 (use) for cheese-making was extracted using modern methods. “It’s the disappearance of the traditional bucket used during milking that played a significant role 41 this transformation,” said Agroscope spokesman Regis Nyffeler, 42 (add) that bits of hay fell into the milk and then eventually caused the holes. According to Agroscope scientists, Swiss cheeses had fewer holes over the past 10 to 15 years as open buckets 43 (replace) by sealed milking machines, 44 removed tiny hay particles from the milk. This discovery not only solves a long-standing mystery 45 highlights the interesting intersection (交叉) of tradition and technology in food production.

五、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I knew healing my relationship with Dad was vital, but how to go about it was another story. At the time the gulf between us seemed insurmountable (无法逾越的). My feelings of being criticized and rejected by Dad were my deepest wound.
In my early years I was the apple of his eye, and he was a hero in my childhood. We played sports and games, and often went fishing together.
As adolescence approached, however, everything changed. It became clear that I was determined to forge my own path, one completely different from his expectation. In school I was having behavioral problems, being a class joker and breaking all the rules. And having my parents read my school report was a nightmare for me. Sometimes I was punished. Their disapproval made me feel even worse. Punishments only added to the hurt.
My dad had no idea how to deal with me. He became silent and distant, setting a wall and pretending that he didn’t care. That was even more painful to me than my mother’s voiced disapproval. I hated him for that, and pretended that I didn’t want anything to do with him. We lived under the same roof, but we were a thousand miles away from each other.
I continued to have trouble with school until the time I chose to drop out and pursue my interests in music. I became totally focused on my spiritual growth, which sent shivers (寒颤) through my father’s mind. There were many hard feelings between us, feelings that hardened as time went by.
For much of my twenties, I went about my life without much of a relationship with my dad. We had stopped trying to change each other, but the walls remained, thick and cold between us.
Things all began changing four years after mom told me it was time to deal with Dad. Hesitant for a long time, I finally took her advice and wrote my father a letter.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After sending the letter, I felt a heavy weight on my mind.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I visited my father soon after receiving his letter.

These bottom chamber beats, called PVCs, can cause rapid heartbeats and, in some cases, lead to heart failure.(研究结果显示，在喝咖啡的日子里，参与者平均多走了1058步，但睡眠时间减少了36分钟。虽然咖啡对心脏上腔室的早期心跳没有影响，但它使来自心脏下腔室的早期心跳增加了50%。这些下腔室的心跳，称为PVCs(室性早搏)，可能导致心跳加速，且在某些情况下，可能会导致心力衰竭。)”可知，咖啡能促进活动量增加，但同时也可能增加心脏风险。故选D。
10．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Dr. Peter Kistler from Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, emphasized that this was a short-term study in healthy volunteers. “This provides no information on the benefits or potential harms to long-term coffee drinking,” said Kistler. “This does not provide information on the impact of coffee in people with other health conditions, and generally the study participants consumed limited amounts of coffee.”(墨尔本阿尔弗雷德医院的彼得·基斯特勒博士强调，这是一项针对健康志愿者的短期研究。“这项研究没有提供关于长期饮用咖啡的好处或潜在危害的信息，”基斯特勒说。“这项研究也没有提供关于咖啡对患有其他健康状况的人群影响的信息，而且通常研究参与者饮用的咖啡量是有限的。”)”可知，该研究仅针对健康志愿者进行短期研究，没有涉及患有其他健康状况的人群，且参与者饮用咖啡量有限。这些观点表明他对研究结果持怀疑态度。故选A。
11．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The effects of coffee should be considered in the context of personal health goals and tolerance levels. Marcus suggested that a personalized approach to coffee consumption could be most effective for determining its health effects.(咖啡的影响应在个人健康目标和耐受水平的背景下考虑。马库斯建议，采取个性化的咖啡消费方法可能是确定其健康影响最有效的方式。)”可推知，咖啡对个体的影响因人而异，受到个人健康目标和个人耐受性的影响。因此，个人应该根据自身情况选择合适的咖啡摄入量，以达到最佳的健康效果。故选D。

18．根据上文“There are plenty of self-help books written by people who have not really tasted success. What they write is not based on experience. Choose a book written by a successful person, and you will be getting the benefit of first-hand experience. There are an increasing number of billionaires who write their memoirs.(有很多自助书籍是由没有真正尝到成功滋味的人写的。他们写的东西不是基于经验。选择一本成功人士写的书，你将获得第一手的经验。越来越多的亿万富翁写回忆录)”可知，上文提到越来越多的亿万富翁写他们的回忆录，因此空格处应该填入关于学习经验的好处的句子。选项G“你会从这些书中获益更多，而不是那些仅仅基于理论的书”最符合上下文语义。故选G。
19．根据后文“Now, focus on self-care. Start with the basics: healthy eating, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep. These simple habits will make you feel better physically and mentally.

20．根据上文“Every now and then break out of a boring routine and try something new.(时不时地打破无聊的常规，尝试一些新的东西)”以及后文“Try to find an activity where you can learn a skill.(试着找一个你能学到一项技能的活动)”可知，本段落主要讲的是尝试新鲜事物，打破常规，尝试新事物，空处应该填入关于尝试新鲜事物的补充说明。故D选项“不要仅仅局限于去不同的地方”符合语境。故选D。
【答案】

47．【答案】One possible version:
After sending the letter, I felt a heavy weight on my mind. Would he receive it How would he respond I waited for his reply, nervously opening up the mail each day. Days later, his response arrived. I read the letter again and again, disbelief washing over me — it wasn’t the distant, silent dad I knew but someone wise, tender, approachable. I plucked up my courage and called him. We both fumbled for words, but couldn’t find any. Finally, a shaky “I love you” passed between us before we hung up, both overwhelmed by the weight of the moment. His words had stirred a deep desire for me to see him, to seek for the love that we had lost for so long.
I visited my father soon after receiving his letter. My time with my father was sweet and meaningful. We sat on the porch, the familiar scent of cut grass and old wood filling the air. The awkwardness of the past seemed to melt away, replaced by a shared history of laughter, tears, and the unspoken desire for connection. Though our paths had been apart, they were now coming back together. It was a conversation filled with a quiet understanding. It was a conversation filled with shared openness. It was a conversation filled with unexpected warmth. Together, we stepped forward on a journey towards healing and forgiveness between a father and a son.

【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“寄完信后，我感到心头很重。”可知，第一段可描写作者寄完信后的心理动态，以及作者父亲给作者写了回信后作者与父亲是如何交流的，结合第二段提示的内容，此处应提到作者打算去看望父亲。
②由第二段首句内容“我收到父亲的信后不久就去看望了他。”可知，第二段可描写作者见到父亲后父子是如何相处的，为传达“爱”，建议此处应描述父子两人和睦相处，过去的尴尬消散，父子之间踏上了父子间疗伤与宽恕的旅程。

一、阅读理解（本大题共5小题）
Humans are always exploring new ways to feel, look and live better. As with everything else in life, our approach to keeping fit and healthy has changed over time. Here are four iconic fitness trends through the decades.
Aerobics — 1970s
Aerobics took off to improve the cardiovascular (心血管) system in a fun way and dance moves were combined with fitness movements, such as leg raises and marching in place. Aerobics inspired many different spin-offs from dance and step aerobics, to even water-based classes, all set to music.
Spinning — 1990s
Spinning launched cycling revolution in the 1990s which continues to this day, thanks to big-name gyms which have made cycling on fixed bikes a party for participants. Color changing lights, high-energy music and enthusiastic instructors have turned spin classes into a lively group activity which has attracted fans around the world.
CrossFit—2000s
CrossFit has been a team favorite in the fitness scene since the 2000s. The activity is competitive yet shared, with scores being tracked on a board. Classes typically last an hour or less, making each session an intense (强度的) and time-efficient workout which many are able to fit into their busy schedules.
HIIT — 2020s
HIIT, which stands for High Intensity Interval Training, has gained popularity recently, along with the rise of home workouts. Exercises, done in short, intense bursts, aim to build strength and endurance. It can be done through free online classes without any equipment, making it an affordable workout at home.
1．Which sport is mixed with dance
A．Aerobics. B．Spinning. C．CrossFit. D．HIIT.
2．What do Spinning and CrossFit have in common
A．They last for a short time. B．They can be group activities.

A friend recently showed me her planned trip to Italy. Over cups of tea, she laid out the trip in military order-the Colosseum, Pompeii, Venice…By the time she was done I was exhausted, and 1 hadn’t even set foot outside the house.
My way of travelling is different. I just pick a destination and then go there, leaving things to chance. This may not be for everybody, but leaping into the unknown, for me, has been great.
Take Greenland, for example: 1 found myself in a tiny village of just 40 people, with no place to stay. The locals welcomed me warmly, and I enjoyed a delightful supper with an Inuit family, completed with fantastic stories never found in guidebooks.
A few years back, driving through Iceland, I noticed an older woman sitting at a picnic table by a waterfall. I approached her, and asked if I could sit with her. She turned out to be a source of knowledge about the area, which we had all to ourselves, without a tourist in sight.
Wandering in Trinidad, I got on a coastal ship. On the way, a young woman talked to me and gave me a tip for a visit to a hidden local restaurant with delicious and affordable food. There, I enjoyed the meal surrounded by the relaxing local music.
As a teacher, I encourage my students to travel．Most of them have never gone outside; others even never left their hometown. In many cases, they express a sense of fear, of going someplace where they won’t know anybody. I try to remove their anxieties by sharing my own travel experiences, and the message that there are good people everywhere, and friendships are waiting to be started.
I once read a piece about regrets that people expressed later in their lives. One that struck me was, “I wish I had taken more chances.” Setting off little planning does mean taking a risk, but for me, it is rewarding.
4．Why did the author mention her friend’s travel plan
A．To recommend some best spots in Italy. B．To express her unconcern of friend’s plan.
C．To introduce her different way of traveling. D．To show her tiredness of making travel plans.
5．What can you learn from the author’s travel experiences
A．She visited a village with large population in Greenland.
B．She learnt fascinating stories about Inuit from guidebooks.
C．She saw the waterfall advised by an old woman in Iceland.
D．She enjoyed a meal in a local hidden restaurant in Trinidad.
6．What mainly stops the author’s students from traveling
A．Their lack of money. B．Their fear of unfamiliar places.
C．Their dislike of travelling abroad. D．Their inability to leave hometown.
7．What would be the best title for the passage
A．Friendships Start in Trips B．A Man is Rewarded with Plans
C．Travels Unprepared Bring Surprise D．Chances Favor the Focused Minds
Coffee is one of the most popular drinks worldwide. New findings from a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, suggest both benefits and drawbacks of coffee drinking. According to the study, drinking at least a cup of coffee per day can increase physical activity but reduce sleep, and may also raise the risk of abnormal heart beat.
The study, led by Dr. Gregory Marcus from the University of California, San Francisco, involved 100 healthy adults. Participants wore devices to track steps, sleep, blood sugar levels and heart rhythms. They spent two days drinking as much coffee as they liked, followed by two days without coffee, repeating this cycle for two weeks.
Findings revealed that on coffee-drinking days, participants took an average of 1,058 more steps but slept 36 fewer minutes. While coffee didn’t impact early heartbeats from the top chambers (心房) of the heart, it increased early heartbeats from the bottom chambers by 50%. These bottom chamber beats, called PVCs, can cause rapid heartbeats and, in some cases, lead to heart failure.
Dr. Peter Kistler from Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, emphasized that this was a short-term study in healthy volunteers. “This provides no information on the benefits or potential harms to long-term coffee drinking,” said Kistler. “This does not provide information on the impact of coffee in people with other health conditions, and generally the study participants consumed limited amounts of coffee.”
The study noted that genetic differences in caffeine metabolism (代谢) might influence individuals’ reactions to coffee. While coffee can motivate physical activity and enhance performance, it can also lead to reduced sleep and increased heart beats in some people. The effects of coffee should be considered in the context of personal health goals and tolerance levels. Marcus suggested that a personalized approach to coffee consumption could be most effective for determining its health effects.
8．How was the study conducted
A．By analyzing previous data. B．By evaluating survey information.
C．By tracking participants’ health data. D．By making a comparative experiment.
9．What do we know about the finding of the study
A．Coffee definitely causes heart failure.
B．Coffee impacts early heartbeats, but benefits sleep.
C．Coffee helps the sleep and lowers blood sugar levels.
D．Coffee motivates activities, but may increase heart risks.
10．What is Dr. Peter’s attitude towards the study
A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Objective. D．Indifferent.
11．What can you infer from the last paragraph
A．Coffee effects vary with people’s mood. B．Everyone benefits from coffee equally.
C．Genetics doesn’t influence coffee effects. D．Coffee intake depends on personal situation.
You might have experienced the frustration of being misunderstood by a smart speaker or AI assistant. For people with non-standard speech, this happens frequently. Israeli company Voiceitt aims to change that.
By using personalized voice models, its AI-powered speech recognition system helps people with speech impairments (损伤) caused by conditions like Parkinson’s disease, Down syndrome, or stroke communicate better with others.
For Voiceitt co-founder Sara Smolley, developing speech recognition for non-standard speech patterns is a personal mission. “My grandmother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease,” she said. “By the time I was born, she had lost most of her motor capabilities, and her speech was affected.” Smolley wanted to solve communication problems for people with speech difficulties.
Voiceitt was launched as an app in 2023 and operated as a vocal translator, converting non-standard speech into audio. Users train the AI by recording themselves saying about 200 simple phrases. Voiceitt cooperates with tools like WebEx and ChatGPT, providing captions (字幕) for non-standard speech. The company is also partnering with Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
Colin Hughes, who has a muscle disorder, uses voice typing for his digital interactions. He’s impressed with how accurately Voiceitt’s app understands his unique way of speaking. But he points out that many people with upper-limb disabilities need more than just speech-to-text. They need something like better voice typing for longer writing. He sees a future where technology plays a bigger role in accessibility, adding, “This entire field needs a shake-up. Voiceitt, with better access to major platforms, could be the one to lead this change.”
With technology that captures and stores personal data such as voice recordings, privacy can be a concern for users. Smolley says her company has “the highest standards in the world in terms of data privacy”. She believes Voiceitt’s technology can be life-changing. “We want to allow people not just to be more independent in their lives and work,” says Smolley, “but also to enjoy technology and have fun.”
12．What inspires Sara Smolley to develop the AI-speech recognition system
A．Her desire to advance artificial intelligence.
B．Her passion for technology communication.
C．Her determination to cure people of speech disease.
D．Her hope to settle grandmother’s communication problems.
13．What does the underlined word “converting” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Applying. B．Keeping. C．Changing. D．Limiting.
14．What does Colin’s words imply in paragraph 5
A．Voiceitt can be a pioneering tool. B．Voiceitt focuses on speech-to-text.
C．Voiceitt understands personal feelings. D．Voiceitt can team up with tech companies.
15．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To introduce a new speech recognition system.
B．To show the limitations of current speech recognition.
C．To highlight the need to help people with speech issues.
D．To explain the difficulties of Al-powered speech recognition.
Many people suffer from low self-confidence, which may negatively impact mental health. Then, the following tips can help you increase your confidence and become a better person.
Know your dream
16 . The first step to greater self-confidence is identifying that purpose — your reason for getting on with life. A good way to do this is to write a paragraph or maybe two that outlines where you want to be.
Write down your goals and how to achieve them
When setting goals, it’s not enough to simply write down what you want to achieve. 17 . For instance, if your goal is a promotion, your plan should include studying for the required qualifications. Keep control of your goals by focusing on your actions and taking responsibility for your journey.
Learn from successful people
There are plenty of self-help books written by people who have not really tasted success. What they write is not based on experience. Choose a book written by a successful person, and you will be getting the benefit of first-hand experience. There are an increasing number of billionaires who write their memoirs. 18 .
19
Now, focus on self-care. Start with the basics: healthy eating, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep. These simple habits will make you feel better physically and mentally. Finally, when faced with new situations, approach them with a positive and open mindset. Take time to adjust if necessary, like grabbing a coffee and chatting with colleagues to ease the transition.
Try new things often
Every now and then break out of a boring routine and try something new. 20 . Try to find an activity where you can learn a skill. Learn a craft, a sport, or go to a dance class. And the great thing is that as you become better and more skilled, your confidence will grow.
A．Your life needs a purpose.
B．Manage your state of mind.
C．Make sure what you want to do.
D．Don’t just limit this to going somewhere different.
E．You must also include a means of achieving that goal.
F．Remember that luck doesn’t play a part in you achieving your goals.
G．And you will benefit from those books than those based just on theory.

After about a century of research, scientists in Switzerland have finally solved the mystery of the holes in Swiss cheese. Despite what you may have been told as 36 child, the holes are not caused by mice nibbling away inside cheese wheels. 37 (expert) from Agroscope, a state center for 38 (agriculture) research, said the phenomenon was caused by tiny bits of hay (干草) present in the milk during the cheese-making process and not bacteria as 39 (previous) thought. They found that the mysterious holes became smaller or disappeared when milk 40 (use) for cheese-making was extracted using modern methods. “It’s the disappearance of the traditional bucket used during milking that played a significant role 41 this transformation,” said Agroscope spokesman Regis Nyffeler, 42 (add) that bits of hay fell into the milk and then eventually caused the holes. According to Agroscope scientists, Swiss cheeses had fewer holes over the past 10 to 15 years as open buckets 43 (replace) by sealed milking machines, 44 removed tiny hay particles from the milk. This discovery not only solves a long-standing mystery 45 highlights the interesting intersection (交叉) of tradition and technology in food production.

五、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I knew healing my relationship with Dad was vital, but how to go about it was another story. At the time the gulf between us seemed insurmountable (无法逾越的). My feelings of being criticized and rejected by Dad were my deepest wound.
In my early years I was the apple of his eye, and he was a hero in my childhood. We played sports and games, and often went fishing together.
As adolescence approached, however, everything changed. It became clear that I was determined to forge my own path, one completely different from his expectation. In school I was having behavioral problems, being a class joker and breaking all the rules. And having my parents read my school report was a nightmare for me. Sometimes I was punished. Their disapproval made me feel even worse. Punishments only added to the hurt.
My dad had no idea how to deal with me. He became silent and distant, setting a wall and pretending that he didn’t care. That was even more painful to me than my mother’s voiced disapproval. I hated him for that, and pretended that I didn’t want anything to do with him. We lived under the same roof, but we were a thousand miles away from each other.
I continued to have trouble with school until the time I chose to drop out and pursue my interests in music. I became totally focused on my spiritual growth, which sent shivers (寒颤) through my father’s mind. There were many hard feelings between us, feelings that hardened as time went by.
For much of my twenties, I went about my life without much of a relationship with my dad. We had stopped trying to change each other, but the walls remained, thick and cold between us.
Things all began changing four years after mom told me it was time to deal with Dad. Hesitant for a long time, I finally took her advice and wrote my father a letter.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After sending the letter, I felt a heavy weight on my mind.

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了我喜欢不事先计划的旅行方式，并且讲述了旅行过程中遇见的许多惊喜。
【解析】4．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“My way of travelling is different. I just pick a destination and then go there, leaving things to chance. (我的旅行方式与众不同。我只是选定一个目的地，然后就去那里，听天由命。)”可知，作者第一段提到朋友的旅行计划是为了引出下文自己与朋友截然不同的旅行方式。故选C项。
5．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“On the way, a young woman talked to me and gave me a tip for a visit to a hidden local restaurant with delicious and affordable food.There, I enjoyed the meal surrounded by the relaxing local music. (在路上，一位年轻女子与我交谈，并给我推荐了一家隐藏在当地、食物美味且价格实惠的餐厅。在那里，我在轻松的当地音乐中享受着美食。)”可知，作者在Trinidad旅行时，在当地一家隐蔽的餐馆享用了一顿美餐。故选D项。
6．细节理解题。根据文章第六段“Most of them have never gone outside; others even never left their hometown. In many cases, they express a sense of fear, or going someplace where they won’t know anybody. (他们中的大多数从未出过国；还有一些人甚至从未离开过家乡。很多时候，他们表达的是一种恐惧，或是去一个不认识任何地方。)”可知，学生们不愿意出门旅行的原因主要是对未知的恐惧。故选B项。
7．主旨大意题。根据全文以及最后一段“One that struck me was, “I wish I had taken more chances.” Setting off little planning does mean taking a risk, but for me, it is rewarding. (有一个回答让我印象深刻：“我真希望我曾冒过更多的险。”不经过周密计划就开始行动确实意味着冒险，但对我来说，去做是值得的。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者不做计划旅游方式所带来的意外之惊喜。所以短文的标题为“毫无准备的旅行带来的惊喜”。故选C项。

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于咖啡对健康影响的研究成果，包括其对身体活动、睡眠和心脏早搏的影响。
【解析】8．推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Participants wore devices to track steps, sleep, blood sugar levels and heart rhythms. They spent two days drinking as much coffee as they liked, followed by two days without coffee, repeating this cycle for two weeks.(参与者佩戴了设备来追踪步数、睡眠、血糖水平和心律。他们连续两天随喜好饮用咖啡，随后两天不喝咖啡，这个循环持续了两周。)”可知，这项研究是通过追踪参与者健康数据的方式进行的。故选C。
9．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Findings revealed that on coffee-drinking days, participants took an average of 1,058 more steps but slept 36 fewer minutes. While coffee didn’t impact early heartbeats from the top chambers (心房) of the heart, it increased early heartbeats from the bottom chambers by 50%. These bottom chamber beats, called PVCs, can cause rapid heartbeats and, in some cases, lead to heart failure.(研究结果显示，在喝咖啡的日子里，参与者平均多走了1058步，但睡眠时间减少了36分钟。虽然咖啡对心脏上腔室的早期心跳没有影响，但它使来自心脏下腔室的早期心跳增加了50%。这些下腔室的心跳，称为PVCs(室性早搏)，可能导致心跳加速，且在某些情况下，可能会导致心力衰竭。)”可知，咖啡能促进活动量增加，但同时也可能增加心脏风险。故选D。
10．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Dr. Peter Kistler from Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, emphasized that this was a short-term study in healthy volunteers. “This provides no information on the benefits or potential harms to long-term coffee drinking,” said Kistler. “This does not provide information on the impact of coffee in people with other health conditions, and generally the study participants consumed limited amounts of coffee.”(墨尔本阿尔弗雷德医院的彼得·基斯特勒博士强调，这是一项针对健康志愿者的短期研究。“这项研究没有提供关于长期饮用咖啡的好处或潜在危害的信息，”基斯特勒说。“这项研究也没有提供关于咖啡对患有其他健康状况的人群影响的信息，而且通常研究参与者饮用的咖啡量是有限的。”)”可知，该研究仅针对健康志愿者进行短期研究，没有涉及患有其他健康状况的人群，且参与者饮用咖啡量有限。这些观点表明他对研究结果持怀疑态度。故选A。
11．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The effects of coffee should be considered in the context of personal health goals and tolerance levels. Marcus suggested that a personalized approach to coffee consumption could be most effective for determining its health effects.(咖啡的影响应在个人健康目标和耐受水平的背景下考虑。马库斯建议，采取个性化的咖啡消费方法可能是确定其健康影响最有效的方式。)”可推知，咖啡对个体的影响因人而异，受到个人健康目标和个人耐受性的影响。因此，个人应该根据自身情况选择合适的咖啡摄入量，以达到最佳的健康效果。故选D。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了Voiceitt公司为有言语障碍的人开发的AI语音识别系统，着重介绍了该系统的功能、应用场景以及未来发展方向，并探讨了其对用户隐私的影响。
【解析】12．细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句 “‘My grandmother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease,’ she said. (“我的祖母被诊断出患有帕金森病，”她说。)”及第三句“‘By the time I was born, she had lost most of her motor capabilities, and her speech was affected.’ (“我出生时，她已经失去了大部分的运动能力，她的语言能力也受到了影响。”)”可知，Sara Smolley的祖母患有帕金森病，导致说话能力下降。正是这种亲身经历促使她想要为有言语障碍的人解决沟通问题。因此，帮助祖母应对言语障碍是她研发AI语音识别系统的灵感来源。故选D项。
13．词义猜测题。根据文章第四段划线词句“Voiceitt was launched as an app in 2023 and operated as a vocal translator, converting non-standard speech into audio. (2023年Voiceitt这个应用程序推出了，它是一个声音翻译器，将非标准语音 converting成音频。)”可知，作为一款语音翻译应用，能实现非标准语音与音频之间转换，画线词的意思应是“转换”。故选C项。
14．推理判断题。根据文章第五段第五句及第六句“He sees a future where technology plays a bigger role in accessibility, adding, ‘This entire field needs a shake-up. Voiceitt, with better access to major platforms, could be the one to lead this change.’ (他预见到，未来技术在提高可及性方面具有更重要的作用，并补充说：“整个领域都需要一场变革。Voiceitt可以更好地访问主要平台，可能会引领这一变革。”)”可知，Colin Hughes认为Voiceitt可以与主要平台合作，成为改变这个领域的领导者。即Colin Hughes 的话暗示Voiceitt是一个具有开拓和先驱性的工具。故选A项。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文提供了一些提升自信的建议，包括找到人生目标、制定计划、学习成功人士的经验、管理心态以及尝试新鲜事物。作者认为，通过努力，我们可以变得更加自信，成为更好的人。
【解析】16．根据后文“The first step to greater self-confidence is identifying that purpose — your reason for getting on with life. A good way to do this is to write a paragraph or maybe two that outlines where you want to be.(增强自信的第一步是确定目标——你继续生活的理由。这样做的一个好方法是写一段或两段来概述你的目标)”可知，后点明了缺乏自信的根源之一是缺少目标。A选项“你的生活需要一个目标”符合语境，强调了目标对于提升自信的重要性。故选A。

(设定目标仅仅写下你想实现的目标是不够的)”以及后文“For instance, if your goal is a promotion, your plan should include studying for the required qualifications. (例如，如果你的目标是晋升，你的计划应该包括学习所需的资格)”可知，本句解释仅仅写下目标是不够的，强调了需要有行动步骤来达成目标。接着给出了一个具体的例子来解释如何制定实现目标的方法。E选项“你还必须包括实现这一目标的手段”符合语境。故选E。
18．根据上文“There are plenty of self-help books written by people who have not really tasted success. What they write is not based on experience. Choose a book written by a successful person, and you will be getting the benefit of first-hand experience. There are an increasing number of billionaires who write their memoirs.(有很多自助书籍是由没有真正尝到成功滋味的人写的。他们写的东西不是基于经验。选择一本成功人士写的书，你将获得第一手的经验。越来越多的亿万富翁写回忆录)”可知，上文提到越来越多的亿万富翁写他们的回忆录，因此空格处应该填入关于学习经验的好处的句子。选项G“你会从这些书中获益更多，而不是那些仅仅基于理论的书”最符合上下文语义。故选G。
19．根据后文“Now, focus on self-care. Start with the basics: healthy eating, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep. These simple habits will make you feel better physically and mentally. Finally, when faced with new situations, approach them with a positive and open mindset. Take time to adjust if necessary, like grabbing a coffee and chatting with colleagues to ease the transition.(现在，专注于自我照顾。从最基本的开始：健康的饮食、规律的锻炼和充足的睡眠。这些简单的习惯会让你身心舒畅。最后，当面对新情况时，要以积极开放的心态去面对。如果有必要，花点时间调整，比如喝杯咖啡，和同事聊聊天，以缓解过渡)”可知，本段落主要讲的是管理心态。强调了自我关怀，接着下一句它指出了三种基础的自我关怀方法：healthy eating, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep.这些方法能够改善身心健康。因此B“控制你的心态”概括了这段话的中心思想，自我关怀的核心就是管理好自己的心态，让自己保持积极乐观的心态。故选B。
20．根据上文“Every now and then break out of a boring routine and try something new.(时不时地打破无聊的常规，尝试一些新的东西)”以及后文“Try to find an activity where you can learn a skill.(试着找一个你能学到一项技能的活动)”可知，本段落主要讲的是尝试新鲜事物，打破常规，尝试新事物，空处应该填入关于尝试新鲜事物的补充说明。故D选项“不要仅仅局限于去不同的地方”符合语境。故选D。

47．【答案】One possible version:
After sending the letter, I felt a heavy weight on my mind. Would he receive it How would he respond I waited for his reply, nervously opening up the mail each day. Days later, his response arrived. I read the letter again and again, disbelief washing over me — it wasn’t the distant, silent dad I knew but someone wise, tender, approachable. I plucked up my courage and called him. We both fumbled for words, but couldn’t find any. Finally, a shaky “I love you” passed between us before we hung up, both overwhelmed by the weight of the moment. His words had stirred a deep desire for me to see him, to seek for the love that we had lost for so long.
I visited my father soon after receiving his letter. My time with my father was sweet and meaningful. We sat on the porch, the familiar scent of cut grass and old wood filling the air. The awkwardness of the past seemed to melt away, replaced by a shared history of laughter, tears, and the unspoken desire for connection. Though our paths had been apart, they were now coming back together. It was a conversation filled with a quiet understanding. It was a conversation filled with shared openness. It was a conversation filled with unexpected warmth. Together, we stepped forward on a journey towards healing and forgiveness between a father and a son.
【分析】本文以作者和父亲的关系为线索展开，讲述了作者在小时候曾视为英雄的父亲，在青春期的作者眼里变得沉默而疏远，父亲对作者的不满让作者觉得虽然与父亲住在同一个屋檐下，但却相隔千里，接下来作者的退学以及在学校糟糕的表现让父亲感到颤抖，作者与父亲不愉快的感觉越发强烈，在作者20多岁的时候也没有试图修复与父亲的关系，但在母亲的建议下作者还是给父亲写了一封信。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“寄完信后，我感到心头很重。”可知，第一段可描写作者寄完信后的心理动态，以及作者父亲给作者写了回信后作者与父亲是如何交流的，结合第二段提示的内容，此处应提到作者打算去看望父亲。
②由第二段首句内容“我收到父亲的信后不久就去看望了他。”可知，第二段可描写作者见到父亲后父子是如何相处的，为传达“爱”，建议此处应描述父子两人和睦相处，过去的尴尬消散，父子之间踏上了父子间疗伤与宽恕的旅程。
2.续写线索：写信给父亲——父亲回信给作者——电话上联系——决定去看望父亲——父子关系得到修复——作者感悟
