Duncan Jurman became interested in butterflies when he was around 5 years old. He noticed a couple of caterpillars (毛虫) in his backyard and was attracted by the different ways that caterpillars can disguise (伪装) themselves to stay safe in potentially dangerous surroundings. From there, he started to learn more about caterpillars and butterflies.
Jurman believes that butterflies play a vital role in our ecosystems. They’re very low on the food web, so they support a lot of different species that rely on them. They’re an indicator species for the health of the environment. Once they disappear, everything else is soon to follow.
Jurman’s goal is to transform the landscape of Florida’s Broward County by turning a weedy suburb into a lively butterfly reserve at a time when insect populations are decreasing quickly worldwide. Jurman believes that every flower planted is a potential home and source of food for caterpillars and butterflies. He eventually developed a butterfly-friendly garden in his backyard by researching the different plants that butterflies prefer. He’s already raised and released more than 5, 000 butterflies from his garden.
Jurman also launched the Bring Butterflies Back campaign to educate people about butterflies and invite them to join his cause of protecting butterflies. He said that a lot of people are surprised to learn that insects are declining at such an alarming rate, largely because the decline has been so gradual. This phenomenon, known as the shifting baselines theory, helps to explain why people are unwilling to take meaningful action to save the environment.
In 2018, Jurman helped to build a butterfly garden at his high school. The garden has had a regenerative effect on the surrounding environment — birds, native lizards, and other insects have returned in great numbers. Other schools have been inspired to start gardens. “I don’t know if we can ever reach the point that we were once at with butterflies, but I think that if everyone gets involved and starts their own garden, they can make their own impact,” Jurman said.
24．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2
A．The significance of butterflies in nature. B．The potential danger to butterflies.
C．The competition between species. D．The food web of insects.
25．Why did Jurman develop a butterfly-friendly garden
A．To research butterflies’ favorite plants. B．To boost the quantity of butterflies.
C．To spread the knowledge about butterflies. D．To enhance the beauty of his backyard.
26．Which of the following illustrates the shifting baselines theory
A．The rapid decline of butterfly populations worldwide.
B．People’s unawareness of gradual change in environment.
C．The process of transforming natural landscapes into reserves.
D．The impact of human activities on insect habitats.
27．What can be inferred from Jurman’s statement in the last paragraph
A．He is enthusiastic about gardening.
B．He feels satisfied with his garden-building efforts.
C．He will carry on despite an uncertain future.
D．He holds a pessimistic attitude to the future of butterflies.
It is a common view that “Necessity is the mother of invention”. That is, inventions supposedly arise when a society has an unfulfilled need. Quite a few inventions do fit in this category. For example, in 1794 Eli Whitney invented cotton gins (轧棉机) to replace laborious hand cleaning of cotton grown in the U. S. South.
Such familiar examples fool us into assuming that other major inventions were also responses to perceived needs. In fact, most inventions were developed by people driven by curiosity or by a love of tinkering (捣鼓). Once a device had been invented, the inventor then had to find an application for it. Only after it had been in use for a considerable time did consumers come to feel that they “needed” it. Thus, invention is often the mother of necessity, rather than vice versa.
A good example is the history of the motor vehicle which was not invented in response to any demand. When Nikolaus Otto built his first gas engine in 1866, it was weak, heavy, and seven feet tall. Thirty years later, he built the first truck. But it was a time when horse wagons and steam-powered railroads dominated transportation. Public contentment with these two means remained high until World War I when the armies concluded that they really did need trucks, which eventually made those vehicles a substitute for horse-drawn wagons in industrialized countries.
Inventors often have to insist on their tinkering for a long time in the absence of public demand, because early models perform too poorly to be useful. For instance, the first cameras, typewriters, and television sets were as awful as Otto’s seven-foot-tall gas engine. That makes it difficult for an inventor to foresee whether his or her awful prototype might eventually find a use and thus invest more time and expense to develop it. Even inventions that meet the need for which they were initially designed may later prove more valuable at meeting unforeseen needs. While James Watt designed his steam engine to pump water from mines, it soon was supplying power to cotton mills, then (with much greater profit) driving trains and boats.
28．Why is Eli Whitney mentioned by the writer in the first paragraph
A．To introduce the topic. B．To deny a statement.
C．To clarify a doubt. D．To illustrate a view.
29．What led to the wide use of motor vehicles according to the text
A．The improvement of engine performance. B．The end of World War I.
C．The need of the military during war time. D．The decline of horse-drawn wagons.
30．What does the underlined word “That” refer to in the last paragraph
A．Absence of public demand. B．Bad performance of early models.
C．A lack of time and expense. D．Awful looks of previous inventions.
31．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Social Need: the Inner Drive for Invention
B．Great Invention: the Force of Society’s Progress
C．Beyond Necessity: the Curious Pursuit of Invention
D．General Application: the Final Purpose of Invention
The robots are coming! In science fiction that is usually a terrible warning. Even if we know robots are not literally the murderous machines of films in which the inventor loses control of his creation, they can inspire fear. In the real world, they are able to kill off well-paid jobs in factories and warehouses. Nevertheless, the latest advances in robotics will bring real and fundamental benefits.
New “multimodal” AI models combine understanding of language and vision with data. This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words. You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to “pick up the yellow fruit”. Such models in effect allow robots a degree of common sense — in this case, knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit. You can tell a robot to adjust its behaviour simply by changing an instruction, something that would previously have required complicated reprogramming.
The new models enable robots to explain the reasoning behind their actions. That is useful when they behave in unexpected or unwelcome ways. So long as robots’ brains are not confusing black boxes, programming and debugging (排错) them is fairly straightforward. The new models are also less likely to make things up, as the way they perceive things is rooted in observations of the world, and they aim to ensure that cognitive and physical reality match.
Labour markets across the rich world are tight — and getting tighter as societies age. Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living as they are aging rapidly. Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later. In the coming years, attitudes could well change from fearing the arrival of robots to wishing that they would get here sooner.
32．Why are people concerned about robots
A．They can raise unemployment rates. B．They are replacing low-paid labor.
C．They might become killers. D．They are hard to control.
33．What is the strength of new “multimodal” AI models
A．Interacting with other robots. B．Replacing human workers completely.
C．Being free from reprogramming. D．Comprehending spoken commands.
34．What causes the new models to be more reliable
A．Their logic reasoning. B．Their debugging ability.
C．Their reality-based perception. D．Their detailed observation.
35．What does the author think of robots in an aging society
A．They benefit the elderly most. B．They contribute to social harmony.
C．They speed technological innovation. D．They sustain labor productivity.
Are you having a hard time sticking to your daily schedule That’s a problem many people have. Here are some tips that might help you.
Start with anchor habits. An anchor habit is something you do at a particular time of day that you’re not at risk of skipping. It will help shape and structure your day. It doesn’t matter what the habit is, but it should be easy for you to do. 36 Don’t choose something you struggle to get done as an anchor habit.
Be very consistent for about three months. A daily schedule is a series of behaviors. Behaviors only become automatic if you keep how, when, and where you do them consistently for about three months. 37
Plan your rewards. Plan rewards and link them to the schedule you’re trying to keep up with in natural ways. Structure rewards around daily tasks, such as watching a video after a period of study and scheduling walks as enjoyable motivations. 38 What do you want to do as a reward either during or after the daily behavior you’re trying to maintain
39 Equipment can help you maintain a schedule. Kitchen equipment might help support a cooking schedule. Hiking equipment might help support an outdoor activity schedule. However, keep in mind that these tools don’t magically do the work for you.
Find and join a community. 40 Therefore, find a community where the schedule or behaviors you’re trying to maintain are normal and join it.
A．Use tools to support you.
B．Get to know yourself and what works for you.
C．You can invite the people around you together.
D．For example, reading a few pages of a book every night before bed.
E．Once they become more automatic, they will take less effort to keep.
F．It’s normal that you have no motivation to maintain a daily schedule.
G．It’s much harder to maintain any behavior if it isn’t common for the people around you.
三、完形填空（本大题共1小题）
Not long after I started my journalism career, I realized I was desiring some slow, little adventure — the kind that required minimal planning, no stress, and plenty of 41 time. It was the kind of time I rarely found in a 42 .
That’s when I 43 a secret: Washington, D．C．, the city where I live, is full of hidden fossils (化石). In my busy, overstimulated life, I began to 44 fossils. Many of these sites lie within 80 miles south of the capital along the Potomac River, so fossil hunting 45 takes me away from the city. It’s a pursuit that requires 46 and focus. Finding different shapes in the earth feels like piecing together a broken 47 in the sediment (沉淀物). Is it a tooth, a bone, or a shell I’m looking for the 48 end pieces. Thankfully, my 49 phone signal in these areas helps me disconnect from the distractions of the modern world, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the search for fossils. Unlike the rush of daily life, fossils don’t demand my constant 50 because they’ve waited millions of years, and they can wait a little longer.
Once, I brought a bottle-cap-sized trilobite (三叶虫) fossil into the newsroom and kept it within my sight, since it was something I wanted to 51 throughout the day. Turning over that piece of rock is a 52 to remind me of a time long before humans 53 and built cities on these lands.
Thinking about geological time makes me feel small but significant, like the tiny trilobite. As my worried mind 54 , I realize that many of the stressful details don’t really matter. My perspective shifts. Maybe, in this moment, I don’t need to rush or worry about that phone call at all. 55 , I can savor the quiet, gentle pace of the world around me, just like the fossils waiting to be discovered.
41．A．unhappy B．unhurried C．uneasy D．unprepared
42．A．house B．school C．newsroom D．car
43．A．revealed B．guarded C．hid D．discovered
44．A．purchase B．identify C．exchange D．seek
45．A．scientifically B．generally C．physically D．specifically
46．A．patience B．strength C．courage D．training
47．A．line B．puzzle C．life D．dream
48．A．ancient B．obvious C．expensive D．independent
49．A．clear B．poor C．traditional D．precious
50．A．attention B．balance C．recognition D．treatment
51．A．display B．notice C．introduce D．avoid
52．A．goal B．pleasure C．way D．lesson
53．A．arrived B．left C．landed D．returned
54．A．gives away B．takes on C．settles down D．runs out
55．A．Likewise B．Still C．Moreover D．Instead
四、语法填空（本大题共1小题）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内所给单词的正确形式。
In recent years, China’s new-style milk tea has blended traditional tea culture with modern creativity. 56 has captured the attention of young consumers are its unique flavors and trendy designs.
Milk tea, a satisfaction to people’s 57 (stomach), is rarely 58 (absence) from social media trends. Collaborative drinks, such as the Luckin Coffee × Black Myth: Wukong series, 59 (win) widespread admiration for their bold flavors and cultural references since its introduction into the market.
Legend has it that the idea for such collaborations arose from a tea shop’s attempt to capture the attention of 60 target audience. Early efforts, which relied on 61 (simple) and more traditional designs, proved 62 vain, failing to stand out in a competitive market, until the innovative themed drinks emerged and reshaped the game.
The process is meticulous (一丝不苟的), involving choosing high-quality tea bases 63 blending signature flavors with iconic elements, such as monkey-shaped foam art.
With its growing appeal, Chinese milk tea culture is bound 64 (enjoy) international fame. A trip 65 (schedule) to try these collaborations will not be disappointing!

六、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
67．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。
The train station was bustling (喧闹的) as I sat on a cold metal bench, watching the chaos (混乱) unfold around me. Travelers rushed by, each with their own destinations, their own stories. Yet I sat there, still and purposeless. My suitcase rested beside me, but unlike everyone else, I had no destination. I had left my hometown, tired of the never-ending routine, but the escape I had longed for brought no relief. Instead, it left me alone, separated from a world I once believed I understood. The noise, the people, the announcements - all of it seemed distant, as though I were watching life happen from behind a glass wall.
As I stared aimlessly, a wrinkled old man walked past me, pushing an overloaded cart of junk. He paused a few feet away, scanning the area, before sitting down cross-legged on the floor near me. His clothes were muddy, and his hands looked roughened by years of hard work. I watched as he reached into his cart and pulled out a harmonica (口琴), pressing it to his lips. The first note was shaky, but soon a simple, beautiful melody (旋律) filled the air. Strangely, the chaotic station grew quieter, as though his music had worked magic.
At first, I felt confused - why here, and why now But as I watched him play, I noticed something remarkable. His face lit up, not with joy exactly, but with a deep contentment that seemed out of place in his circumstances. People started slowing down to listen. A young girl tugged at her mother's coat, wanting to stay. A businessman, hurriedly checking his phone, paused to drop a coin in the old man’s hat. It struck me how a man with so little could share so much.
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。
With a hesitant step, I approached the old man, wanting to understand the source of his contentment.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After hearing what he said, I felt a glimmer of hope as I reached for my own suitcase.

W: Is it coming over to say hello Or does it just want some of the treats you left out in the garden
M: That’s strange — he’s jumped right past the food and is heading to the backyard. Let’s take a look through the back window.

M: It’s a baby kangaroo! This little one must have been hiding in the big kangaroo’s pouch (育儿袋) all this time! The pouch is a kind of pocket that kangaroos have on their stomachs, which means “he” is a “she”! Male kangaroos don’t have pouches.
W: She’s settling down with her baby behind those trees. It must be where they live! I want to get there to have a look. Where is my camera
M: You’d better not go. Wild animals can easily get scared, and we shouldn’t make them uncomfortable. Let’s continue preparing our dinner. I’m so hungry.
W: Yeah. You’re right.

Good morning! With many volcanic eruptions on the island this week, I assume many of you have tuned in to find out if there’s more to come.
On Wednesday, we saw Iceland’s fifth eruption since December from a split in the ground around 3. 5 kilometers long. Although no one was hurt, the world-famous destination, the Blue Lagoon had to be cleared out as this wonderland became unsafe due to the eruption. The Blue Lagoon, located south of Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik, had been incident-free for over 800 years until 2021. But in recent years, rivers of hot flowing rock have closed key roads, affecting local people and businesses. To prevent further damage, man-made walls have been built to redirect lava (熔岩) away from towns and important places like the Svartsengi Power Plant. However, this hasn’t always been successful. In the fishing town of Grindavik, many buildings and homes were burned down. Luckily, flights continued as usual at the local airport, according to the airport’s website.
Scientists have warned Iceland’s government for more to come, not just in the days and weeks that follow, but possibly for years.
Now, to find out today’s forecast, over to Bill.

【分析】本文是应用文。文章为牛津传统暑期学校项目的广告，旨在吸引10至 12 年级的高中生沉浸式体验牛津大学的学术生活。
【解析】21．细节理解题。根据第二段“This program offers students a unique opportunity to experience life at one of the world’s most famous universities.(这个项目为学生提供了一个独特的机会来体验世界上最著名的大学之一的生活)”可知，这个项目提供了一次大学生活体验。故选C。
22．细节理解题。根据Features部分中“Cultural Exploration: Immerse yourself in the rich history and heritage of your chosen program location(文化探索：让自己沉浸在你选择的项目所在地丰富的历史和遗产中)”可知，学生通过参观历史遗迹来探索一个文化目的地。故选B。
23．细节理解题。根据Significance部分中“At the end of the program, students receive detailed grade reports, valuable for their college applications.(在该项目结束时，学生们会收到详细的成绩报告，这对他们的大学申请很有价值)”可知，学生们从该项目中获得的评估对大学申请很有用。故选B。
【答案】24．A 25．B 26．B 27．C
【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了Duncan Jurman对蝴蝶的热爱和他为保护蝴蝶所做的努力，包括立志将佛罗里达州布劳沃德县一个杂草丛生的郊区变为蝴蝶保护区、发起Bring Butterflies Back运动以及在自己的高中建立了蝴蝶花园，激励更多人加入到保护蝴蝶的行动中来。
【解析】24．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Jurman believes that butterflies play a vital role in our ecosystems. They’re very low on the food web, so they support a lot of different species that rely on them. They’re an indicator species for the health of the environment. Once they disappear, everything else is soon to follow. (Jurman认为蝴蝶在我们的生态系统中扮演着至关重要的角色。它们在食物链中处于非常低的位置，因此支持着许多依赖它们的不同物种。它们是环境健康状况的指示物种。一旦它们消失，其他物种也将很快随之灭绝)”可知，第2段主要介绍蝴蝶在自然界中的重要性。故选A。
25．推理判断题。根据第三段“Jurman’s goal is to transform the landscape of Florida’s Broward County by turning a weedy suburb into a lively butterfly reserve at a time when insect populations are decreasing quickly worldwide. Jurman believes that every flower planted is a potential home and source of food for caterpillars and butterflies. He eventually developed a butterfly-friendly garden in his backyard by researching the different plants that butterflies prefer. He’s already raised and released more than 5, 000 butterflies from his garden. (Jurman的目标是改造佛罗里达州布劳沃德县的景观，将杂草丛生的郊区变成一个充满活力的蝴蝶保护区，而当前全球昆虫数量正在迅速减少。Jurman认为，每种植下的花都是毛毛虫和蝴蝶潜在的家园和食物来源。他通过研究蝴蝶偏爱的不同植物，最终在自家后院打造了一个对蝴蝶友好的花园。他已经从自己的花园中饲养并放飞了5000多只蝴蝶)”可知，Jurman建蝴蝶友好花园的目的是增加蝴蝶的数量。故选B。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段中“He said that a lot of people are surprised to learn that insects are declining at such an alarming rate, largely because the decline has been so gradual. This phenomenon, known as the shifting baselines theory, helps to explain why people are unwilling to take meaningful action to save the environment. (他说，很多人对昆虫以如此惊人的速度减少感到惊讶，这主要是因为这种减少是如此的缓慢和渐进。这种被称为“基准漂移理论”的现象有助于解释为什么人们不愿意采取有意义的行动来保护环境)”可知，基准漂移理论描述的是人们对环境的逐渐变化缺乏察觉，因此不能及时采取行动保护环境。故选B。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中““I don’t know if we can ever reach the point that we were once at with butterflies, but I think that if everyone gets involved and starts their own garden, they can make their own impact,” Jurman said. (Jurman说：“我不知道我们是否还能恢复到曾经与蝴蝶共处的那种状态，但我认为，如果每个人都参与进来，开始建造自己的花园，他们就能产生自己的影响。”)”可知，尽管未来充满不确定性，Jurman仍将继续坚持下去。故选C。
【答案】28．D 29．C 30．B 31．C
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了传统认识“需要是发明之母”的正确性，认为发明往往超出了事先所认定的需求，是出于好奇的一种探索追求。
【解析】28．推理判断题。根据第一段中“It is a common view that “Necessity is the mother of invention”. That is, inventions supposedly arise when a society has an unfulfilled need. Quite a few inventions do fit in this category. For example, in 1794 Eli Whitney invented cotton gins (轧棉机) to replace laborious hand cleaning of cotton grown in the U. S. South. (人们普遍认为“需要是发明之母”。也就是说，当一个社会有一种未被满足的需求时，发明就会出现。相当多的发明确实属于这一类。例如，1794年，Eli Whitney发明了轧棉机，以取代美国南部种植的棉花的手工清洗)”可知，以Eli Whitney发明轧棉机为例，就是为了阐释“需求是发明之母”这一观点，所以是用其来举例说明观点。故选D项。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Public contentment with these two means remained high until World War I when the armies concluded that they really did need trucks, which eventually made those vehicles a substitute for horse-drawn wagons in industrialized countries.(公众对这两种交通工具的满意度一直很高，直到第一次世界大战，军队得出结论，他们确实需要卡车，这最终使卡车成为工业化国家马车的替代品)”可知，是军队的需要推动了机动车的流行。故选C项。
30．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Inventors often have to persist at their tinkering for a long time in the absence of public demand, because early models perform too poorly to be useful. For instance, the first cameras, typewriters, and television sets were as awful as Otto’s seven-foot-tall gas engine. That makes it difficult for an inventor to foresee whether his or her awful prototype might eventually find a use and thus invest more time and expense to develop it.(在没有公众需求的情况下，发明家通常不得不长时间坚持他们的修理, 因为早期模型的性能太差而无法使用。例如，第一台相机、打字机和电视机与 Otto的7英尺高的燃气发动机一样糟糕。这使得发明家很难预见他或她糟糕的原型最终是否会找到用途，从而投入更多的时间和费用来开发它)”可知，That指代的就是前面提到的早期模型性能差这一情况。故选B项。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“It is a common view that “Necessity is the mother of invention”. (人们普遍认为“需要是发明之母”)”以及第二段中 “Thus, invention is often the mother of necessity, rather than vice versa.(因此，发明往往是必要性之母, 而不是反过来)”以及最后一段中“Even inventions that meet the need for which they were initially designed may later prove more valuable at meeting unforeseen needs. While James Watt designed his steam engine to pump water from mines, it soon was supplying power to cotton mills, then (with much greater profit) propelling trains and boats.(即使是满足最初设计需求的发明，也可能在后来证明在满足不可预见的需求方面更有价值。虽然詹姆斯·瓦特设计了他的蒸汽机从矿井中抽水，但它很快就为棉纺厂提供动力，然后（利润更大）推动火车和船只)”可知，本文强调发明往往超出了事先所认定的需求，是出于好奇的一种探索追求。C 选项“超越需求：对发明的好奇追求” 能很好地概括文章主旨，故选C项。
【答案】32．A 33．D 34．C 35．D
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在科幻小说中，机器人来了通常是一个可怕的警告。然而，在现实生活中，机器人虽然可能使工厂和仓库中的高薪工作消失，但机器人技术的最新进展将给社会带来真实而重大的益处。
【解析】32．细节理解题。根据第一段的“Even if we know robots are not literally the murderous machines of films in which the inventor loses control of his creation, they can inspire fear. In the real world, they are able to kill off well-paid jobs in factories and warehouses. (即使我们知道，机器人并不是电影中发明者失去控制的杀人机器，它们也会引发恐惧。在现实世界中，他们能够扼杀工厂和仓库中的高薪工作)” 可知，人们担心机器人的原因是它们会使越来越多的高薪工作消失，导致失业率上升。故选A。
33．细节理解题。根据第二段的“This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words. You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to “pick up the yellow fruit”. Such models in effect allow robots a degree of common sense — in this case, knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit. You can tell a robot to adjust its behaviour simply by changing an instruction, something that would previously have required complicated reprogramming.(这使得使用普通单词处理机器人成为可能。你可以问机器人它能看到什么，或者告诉它“捡起黄色的水果”。这样的模型实际上让机器人有了一定程度的常识——在这种情况下，机器人知道附近的香蕉是一种黄色的水果。你可以告诉机器人通过改变指令来调整其行为，这在以前需要复杂的重新编程)”可知，多模态AI模型的优势在于它们使机器人能够理解口头命令。故选D。
34．推理判断题。根据第三段的“The new models are also less likely to make things up, as the way they perceive things is rooted in observations of the world, and they aim to ensure that cognitive and physical reality match.(新模型也不太可能编造事实，因为它们感知事物的方式是建立在对世界的观察基础上的，它们的目标是确保认知和物理现实相匹配)” 可推知，新模型感知事物的方式是基于对世界的观察的，所以不太可能编造东西，会更可靠。故选C。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living as they are aging rapidly. Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later.(发达经济体正在迅速老龄化，如果要维持其生活水平，就需要更多的自动化。如果没有机器人的帮助，更多的人可能不得不延长工作时间，推迟退休)”可推知，作者认为在老龄化社会中，机器人有助于维持劳动生产力。故选D。
【答案】36．D 37．E 38．B 39．A 40．G
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些关于坚持日程安排的建议。
【解析】36．前文“An anchor habit is something you do at a particular time of day that you’re not at risk of skipping. It will help shape and structure your day. It doesn’t matter what the habit is, but it should be easy for you to do. (锚点习惯是你每天在特定时间做的事情，你不会有跳过的风险。这将有助于塑造和组织你的一天。习惯是什么并不重要，但它应该是你容易做到的)”解释锚点习惯的含义，指出该习惯要容易做到，后文“Don’t choose something you struggle to get done as an anchor habit. (不要选择一些你很难完成的事情作为锚点习惯)”指出应避免选择困难的事作为该习惯，因此D项“For example, reading a few pages of a book every night before bed. (例如，每晚睡前读几页书)”符合语境，是对这种习惯的举例说明，承前启后。故选D。
37．前文“A daily schedule is a series of behaviors. Behaviors only become automatic if you keep how, when, and where you do them consistently for about three months. (每日计划是一系列的行为。如果你坚持三个月的行为方式、时间和地点，它们才会变得自动)”指出行为要持续约三个月才能自动形成，因此E项“Once they become more automatic, they will take less effort to keep. (一旦它们变得更自动，保持起来就会不那么费力)”符合语境，说明行为自动形成后的好处，承接前文。故选E。
38．前文“Structure rewards around daily tasks, such as watching a video after a period of study and scheduling walks as enjoyable motivations. (围绕日常任务安排奖励，比如在学习一段时间后看个视频，安排散步作为愉快的动机)”建议做完日常任务后实施奖励，后文“What do you want to do as a reward either during or after the daily behavior you’re trying to maintain (在你试图维持的日常行为期间或之后，你想做什么作为奖励)”提到思考奖励的问题，因此B项“Get to know yourself and what works for you. (了解你自己，知道什么适合你)”符合语境，建议了解适合自己的东西，承前启后。故选B。
39．后文“Equipment can help you maintain a schedule. Kitchen equipment might help support a cooking schedule. Hiking equipment might help support an outdoor activity schedule. (设备可以帮助你保持日程安排。厨房设备可能有助于支持烹饪计划。徒步旅行装备可能有助于支持户外活动计划)”主要讲各种设备有助于维持日程安排，因此A项“Use tools to support you. (使用工具来支持你)”符合语境，建议用工具来帮助自己，契合该段内容，与其他段首句同为祈使句的形式，适合作为段首句。故选A。
40．前文“Find and join a community. (找到并加入一个社群)”建议用社群来帮助自己坚持日程安排，后文“Therefore, find a community where the schedule or behaviors you’re trying to maintain are normal and join it. (因此，找一个你想保持正常日程安排或行为的社群，加入它)”给出结论，说明要加入社群，因此G项“It’s much harder to maintain any behavior if it isn’t common for the people around you. (如果周围的人都不常做，那么维持任何行为都要难得多)”符合语境，解释了要加入社群的原因，承接前文，和后文是因果关系。故选G。

67．【答案】One possible version:
With a hesitant step, I approached the old man, wanting to understand the source of his contentment. As I neared, his melody softened, and he looked up with a gentle smile. “Beautiful tune, ” I said, unsure how to begin. He nodded, his hands resting on the harmonica. “Music doesn’t fix everything, but it reminds me there’s still beauty in the world, ” he said. I hesitated, then shared my struggle - the feeling of being lost, the weight of purposelessness. “Life isn’t about having all the answers, ” he added. “It’s about finding meaning, even in the little things. That’s what keeps me going. ”
After hearing what he said, I felt a glimmer of hope as I reached for my own suitcase. The old man’s words stayed with me, urging me to stop running and start creating purpose. Dropping a coin in his hat, I thanked him - not just for the music, but for the wisdom. As I boarded the train, the station no longer felt chaotic but alive with possibilities. This time I was resolved to push forward. The uncertainty ahead no longer frightened me. Instead, it felt like a blank canvas waiting to be painted, a melody waiting to be played.

Duncan Jurman became interested in butterflies when he was around 5 years old. He noticed a couple of caterpillars (毛虫) in his backyard and was attracted by the different ways that caterpillars can disguise (伪装) themselves to stay safe in potentially dangerous surroundings. From there, he started to learn more about caterpillars and butterflies.
Jurman believes that butterflies play a vital role in our ecosystems. They’re very low on the food web, so they support a lot of different species that rely on them. They’re an indicator species for the health of the environment. Once they disappear, everything else is soon to follow.
Jurman’s goal is to transform the landscape of Florida’s Broward County by turning a weedy suburb into a lively butterfly reserve at a time when insect populations are decreasing quickly worldwide. Jurman believes that every flower planted is a potential home and source of food for caterpillars and butterflies. He eventually developed a butterfly-friendly garden in his backyard by researching the different plants that butterflies prefer. He’s already raised and released more than 5, 000 butterflies from his garden.
Jurman also launched the Bring Butterflies Back campaign to educate people about butterflies and invite them to join his cause of protecting butterflies. He said that a lot of people are surprised to learn that insects are declining at such an alarming rate, largely because the decline has been so gradual. This phenomenon, known as the shifting baselines theory, helps to explain why people are unwilling to take meaningful action to save the environment.
In 2018, Jurman helped to build a butterfly garden at his high school. The garden has had a regenerative effect on the surrounding environment — birds, native lizards, and other insects have returned in great numbers. Other schools have been inspired to start gardens. “I don’t know if we can ever reach the point that we were once at with butterflies, but I think that if everyone gets involved and starts their own garden, they can make their own impact,” Jurman said.
24．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2
A．The significance of butterflies in nature. B．The potential danger to butterflies.
C．The competition between species. D．The food web of insects.
25．Why did Jurman develop a butterfly-friendly garden
A．To research butterflies’ favorite plants. B．To boost the quantity of butterflies.
C．To spread the knowledge about butterflies. D．To enhance the beauty of his backyard.
26．Which of the following illustrates the shifting baselines theory
A．The rapid decline of butterfly populations worldwide.
B．People’s unawareness of gradual change in environment.
C．The process of transforming natural landscapes into reserves.
D．The impact of human activities on insect habitats.
27．What can be inferred from Jurman’s statement in the last paragraph
A．He is enthusiastic about gardening.
B．He feels satisfied with his garden-building efforts.
C．He will carry on despite an uncertain future.
D．He holds a pessimistic attitude to the future of butterflies.
It is a common view that “Necessity is the mother of invention”. That is, inventions supposedly arise when a society has an unfulfilled need. Quite a few inventions do fit in this category. For example, in 1794 Eli Whitney invented cotton gins (轧棉机) to replace laborious hand cleaning of cotton grown in the U. S. South.
Such familiar examples fool us into assuming that other major inventions were also responses to perceived needs. In fact, most inventions were developed by people driven by curiosity or by a love of tinkering (捣鼓). Once a device had been invented, the inventor then had to find an application for it. Only after it had been in use for a considerable time did consumers come to feel that they “needed” it. Thus, invention is often the mother of necessity, rather than vice versa.
A good example is the history of the motor vehicle which was not invented in response to any demand. When Nikolaus Otto built his first gas engine in 1866, it was weak, heavy, and seven feet tall. Thirty years later, he built the first truck. But it was a time when horse wagons and steam-powered railroads dominated transportation. Public contentment with these two means remained high until World War I when the armies concluded that they really did need trucks, which eventually made those vehicles a substitute for horse-drawn wagons in industrialized countries.
Inventors often have to insist on their tinkering for a long time in the absence of public demand, because early models perform too poorly to be useful. For instance, the first cameras, typewriters, and television sets were as awful as Otto’s seven-foot-tall gas engine. That makes it difficult for an inventor to foresee whether his or her awful prototype might eventually find a use and thus invest more time and expense to develop it. Even inventions that meet the need for which they were initially designed may later prove more valuable at meeting unforeseen needs. While James Watt designed his steam engine to pump water from mines, it soon was supplying power to cotton mills, then (with much greater profit) driving trains and boats.
28．Why is Eli Whitney mentioned by the writer in the first paragraph
A．To introduce the topic. B．To deny a statement.
C．To clarify a doubt. D．To illustrate a view.
29．What led to the wide use of motor vehicles according to the text
A．The improvement of engine performance. B．The end of World War I.
C．The need of the military during war time. D．The decline of horse-drawn wagons.
30．What does the underlined word “That” refer to in the last paragraph
A．Absence of public demand. B．Bad performance of early models.
C．A lack of time and expense. D．Awful looks of previous inventions.
31．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Social Need: the Inner Drive for Invention
B．Great Invention: the Force of Society’s Progress
C．Beyond Necessity: the Curious Pursuit of Invention
D．General Application: the Final Purpose of Invention
The robots are coming! In science fiction that is usually a terrible warning. Even if we know robots are not literally the murderous machines of films in which the inventor loses control of his creation, they can inspire fear. In the real world, they are able to kill off well-paid jobs in factories and warehouses. Nevertheless, the latest advances in robotics will bring real and fundamental benefits.
New “multimodal” AI models combine understanding of language and vision with data. This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words. You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to “pick up the yellow fruit”. Such models in effect allow robots a degree of common sense — in this case, knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit. You can tell a robot to adjust its behaviour simply by changing an instruction, something that would previously have required complicated reprogramming.
The new models enable robots to explain the reasoning behind their actions. That is useful when they behave in unexpected or unwelcome ways. So long as robots’ brains are not confusing black boxes, programming and debugging (排错) them is fairly straightforward. The new models are also less likely to make things up, as the way they perceive things is rooted in observations of the world, and they aim to ensure that cognitive and physical reality match.
Labour markets across the rich world are tight — and getting tighter as societies age. Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living as they are aging rapidly. Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later. In the coming years, attitudes could well change from fearing the arrival of robots to wishing that they would get here sooner.
32．Why are people concerned about robots
A．They can raise unemployment rates. B．They are replacing low-paid labor.
C．They might become killers. D．They are hard to control.
33．What is the strength of new “multimodal” AI models
A．Interacting with other robots. B．Replacing human workers completely.
C．Being free from reprogramming. D．Comprehending spoken commands.
34．What causes the new models to be more reliable
A．Their logic reasoning. B．Their debugging ability.
C．Their reality-based perception. D．Their detailed observation.
35．What does the author think of robots in an aging society
A．They benefit the elderly most. B．They contribute to social harmony.
C．They speed technological innovation. D．They sustain labor productivity.
Are you having a hard time sticking to your daily schedule That’s a problem many people have. Here are some tips that might help you.
Start with anchor habits. An anchor habit is something you do at a particular time of day that you’re not at risk of skipping. It will help shape and structure your day. It doesn’t matter what the habit is, but it should be easy for you to do. 36 Don’t choose something you struggle to get done as an anchor habit.
Be very consistent for about three months. A daily schedule is a series of behaviors. Behaviors only become automatic if you keep how, when, and where you do them consistently for about three months. 37
Plan your rewards. Plan rewards and link them to the schedule you’re trying to keep up with in natural ways. Structure rewards around daily tasks, such as watching a video after a period of study and scheduling walks as enjoyable motivations. 38 What do you want to do as a reward either during or after the daily behavior you’re trying to maintain
39 Equipment can help you maintain a schedule. Kitchen equipment might help support a cooking schedule. Hiking equipment might help support an outdoor activity schedule. However, keep in mind that these tools don’t magically do the work for you.
Find and join a community. 40 Therefore, find a community where the schedule or behaviors you’re trying to maintain are normal and join it.
A．Use tools to support you.
B．Get to know yourself and what works for you.
C．You can invite the people around you together.
D．For example, reading a few pages of a book every night before bed.
E．Once they become more automatic, they will take less effort to keep.
F．It’s normal that you have no motivation to maintain a daily schedule.
G．It’s much harder to maintain any behavior if it isn’t common for the people around you.
三、完形填空（本大题共1小题）
Not long after I started my journalism career, I realized I was desiring some slow, little adventure — the kind that required minimal planning, no stress, and plenty of 41 time. It was the kind of time I rarely found in a 42 .
That’s when I 43 a secret: Washington, D．C．, the city where I live, is full of hidden fossils (化石). In my busy, overstimulated life, I began to 44 fossils. Many of these sites lie within 80 miles south of the capital along the Potomac River, so fossil hunting 45 takes me away from the city. It’s a pursuit that requires 46 and focus. Finding different shapes in the earth feels like piecing together a broken 47 in the sediment (沉淀物). Is it a tooth, a bone, or a shell I’m looking for the 48 end pieces. Thankfully, my 49 phone signal in these areas helps me disconnect from the distractions of the modern world, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the search for fossils. Unlike the rush of daily life, fossils don’t demand my constant 50 because they’ve waited millions of years, and they can wait a little longer.
Once, I brought a bottle-cap-sized trilobite (三叶虫) fossil into the newsroom and kept it within my sight, since it was something I wanted to 51 throughout the day. Turning over that piece of rock is a 52 to remind me of a time long before humans 53 and built cities on these lands.
Thinking about geological time makes me feel small but significant, like the tiny trilobite. As my worried mind 54 , I realize that many of the stressful details don’t really matter. My perspective shifts. Maybe, in this moment, I don’t need to rush or worry about that phone call at all. 55 , I can savor the quiet, gentle pace of the world around me, just like the fossils waiting to be discovered.
41．A．unhappy B．unhurried C．uneasy D．unprepared
42．A．house B．school C．newsroom D．car
43．A．revealed B．guarded C．hid D．discovered

46．A．patience B．strength C．courage D．training
47．A．line B．puzzle C．life D．dream
48．A．ancient B．obvious C．expensive D．independent
49．A．clear B．poor C．traditional D．precious
50．A．attention B．balance C．recognition D．treatment
51．A．display B．notice C．introduce D．avoid
52．A．goal B．pleasure C．way D．lesson

In recent years, China’s new-style milk tea has blended traditional tea culture with modern creativity. 56 has captured the attention of young consumers are its unique flavors and trendy designs.
Milk tea, a satisfaction to people’s 57 (stomach), is rarely 58 (absence) from social media trends. Collaborative drinks, such as the Luckin Coffee × Black Myth: Wukong series, 59 (win) widespread admiration for their bold flavors and cultural references since its introduction into the market.
Legend has it that the idea for such collaborations arose from a tea shop’s attempt to capture the attention of 60 target audience. Early efforts, which relied on 61 (simple) and more traditional designs, proved 62 vain, failing to stand out in a competitive market, until the innovative themed drinks emerged and reshaped the game.
The process is meticulous (一丝不苟的), involving choosing high-quality tea bases 63 blending signature flavors with iconic elements, such as monkey-shaped foam art.
With its growing appeal, Chinese milk tea culture is bound 64 (enjoy) international fame. A trip 65 (schedule) to try these collaborations will not be disappointing!

67．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。
The train station was bustling (喧闹的) as I sat on a cold metal bench, watching the chaos (混乱) unfold around me. Travelers rushed by, each with their own destinations, their own stories. Yet I sat there, still and purposeless. My suitcase rested beside me, but unlike everyone else, I had no destination. I had left my hometown, tired of the never-ending routine, but the escape I had longed for brought no relief. Instead, it left me alone, separated from a world I once believed I understood. The noise, the people, the announcements - all of it seemed distant, as though I were watching life happen from behind a glass wall.
As I stared aimlessly, a wrinkled old man walked past me, pushing an overloaded cart of junk. He paused a few feet away, scanning the area, before sitting down cross-legged on the floor near me. His clothes were muddy, and his hands looked roughened by years of hard work. I watched as he reached into his cart and pulled out a harmonica (口琴), pressing it to his lips. The first note was shaky, but soon a simple, beautiful melody (旋律) filled the air. Strangely, the chaotic station grew quieter, as though his music had worked magic.
At first, I felt confused - why here, and why now But as I watched him play, I noticed something remarkable. His face lit up, not with joy exactly, but with a deep contentment that seemed out of place in his circumstances. People started slowing down to listen. A young girl tugged at her mother's coat, wanting to stay. A businessman, hurriedly checking his phone, paused to drop a coin in the old man’s hat. It struck me how a man with so little could share so much.
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。
With a hesitant step, I approached the old man, wanting to understand the source of his contentment.

After hearing what he said, I felt a glimmer of hope as I reached for my own suitcase.

Good morning! With many volcanic eruptions on the island this week, I assume many of you have tuned in to find out if there’s more to come.
On Wednesday, we saw Iceland’s fifth eruption since December from a split in the ground around 3. 5 kilometers long. Although no one was hurt, the world-famous destination, the Blue Lagoon had to be cleared out as this wonderland became unsafe due to the eruption. The Blue Lagoon, located south of Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik, had been incident-free for over 800 years until 2021. But in recent years, rivers of hot flowing rock have closed key roads, affecting local people and businesses. To prevent further damage, man-made walls have been built to redirect lava (熔岩) away from towns and important places like the Svartsengi Power Plant. However, this hasn’t always been successful. In the fishing town of Grindavik, many buildings and homes were burned down. Luckily, flights continued as usual at the local airport, according to the airport’s website.
Scientists have warned Iceland’s government for more to come, not just in the days and weeks that follow, but possibly for years.
Now, to find out today’s forecast, over to Bill.

To prevent further damage, man-made walls have been built to redirect lava (熔岩) away from towns and important places like the Svartsengi Power Plant. However, this hasn’t always been successful. In the fishing town of Grindavik, many buildings and homes were burned down. Luckily, flights continued as usual at the local airport, according to the airport’s website.
Scientists have warned Iceland’s government for more to come, not just in the days and weeks that follow, but possibly for years.
Now, to find out today’s forecast, over to Bill.

【解析】21．细节理解题。根据第二段“This program offers students a unique opportunity to experience life at one of the world’s most famous universities.(这个项目为学生提供了一个独特的机会来体验世界上最著名的大学之一的生活)”可知，这个项目提供了一次大学生活体验。故选C。
22．细节理解题。根据Features部分中“Cultural Exploration: Immerse yourself in the rich history and heritage of your chosen program location(文化探索：让自己沉浸在你选择的项目所在地丰富的历史和遗产中)”可知，学生通过参观历史遗迹来探索一个文化目的地。故选B。
23．细节理解题。根据Significance部分中“At the end of the program, students receive detailed grade reports, valuable for their college applications.(在该项目结束时，学生们会收到详细的成绩报告，这对他们的大学申请很有价值)”可知，学生们从该项目中获得的评估对大学申请很有用。故选B。
【答案】24．A 25．B 26．B 27．C
【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了Duncan Jurman对蝴蝶的热爱和他为保护蝴蝶所做的努力，包括立志将佛罗里达州布劳沃德县一个杂草丛生的郊区变为蝴蝶保护区、发起Bring Butterflies Back运动以及在自己的高中建立了蝴蝶花园，激励更多人加入到保护蝴蝶的行动中来。
【解析】24．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Jurman believes that butterflies play a vital role in our ecosystems. They’re very low on the food web, so they support a lot of different species that rely on them. They’re an indicator species for the health of the environment. Once they disappear, everything else is soon to follow. (Jurman认为蝴蝶在我们的生态系统中扮演着至关重要的角色。它们在食物链中处于非常低的位置，因此支持着许多依赖它们的不同物种。它们是环境健康状况的指示物种。一旦它们消失，其他物种也将很快随之灭绝)”可知，第2段主要介绍蝴蝶在自然界中的重要性。故选A。
25．推理判断题。根据第三段“Jurman’s goal is to transform the landscape of Florida’s Broward County by turning a weedy suburb into a lively butterfly reserve at a time when insect populations are decreasing quickly worldwide. Jurman believes that every flower planted is a potential home and source of food for caterpillars and butterflies. He eventually developed a butterfly-friendly garden in his backyard by researching the different plants that butterflies prefer. He’s already raised and released more than 5, 000 butterflies from his garden. (Jurman的目标是改造佛罗里达州布劳沃德县的景观，将杂草丛生的郊区变成一个充满活力的蝴蝶保护区，而当前全球昆虫数量正在迅速减少。Jurman认为，每种植下的花都是毛毛虫和蝴蝶潜在的家园和食物来源。他通过研究蝴蝶偏爱的不同植物，最终在自家后院打造了一个对蝴蝶友好的花园。他已经从自己的花园中饲养并放飞了5000多只蝴蝶)”可知，Jurman建蝴蝶友好花园的目的是增加蝴蝶的数量。故选B。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段中“He said that a lot of people are surprised to learn that insects are declining at such an alarming rate, largely because the decline has been so gradual. This phenomenon, known as the shifting baselines theory, helps to explain why people are unwilling to take meaningful action to save the environment. (他说，很多人对昆虫以如此惊人的速度减少感到惊讶，这主要是因为这种减少是如此的缓慢和渐进。这种被称为“基准漂移理论”的现象有助于解释为什么人们不愿意采取有意义的行动来保护环境)”可知，基准漂移理论描述的是人们对环境的逐渐变化缺乏察觉，因此不能及时采取行动保护环境。故选B。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中““I don’t know if we can ever reach the point that we were once at with butterflies, but I think that if everyone gets involved and starts their own garden, they can make their own impact,” Jurman said. (Jurman说：“我不知道我们是否还能恢复到曾经与蝴蝶共处的那种状态，但我认为，如果每个人都参与进来，开始建造自己的花园，他们就能产生自己的影响。”)”可知，尽管未来充满不确定性，Jurman仍将继续坚持下去。故选C。
【答案】28．D 29．C 30．B 31．C
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了传统认识“需要是发明之母”的正确性，认为发明往往超出了事先所认定的需求，是出于好奇的一种探索追求。
【解析】28．推理判断题。根据第一段中“It is a common view that “Necessity is the mother of invention”. That is, inventions supposedly arise when a society has an unfulfilled need. Quite a few inventions do fit in this category. For example, in 1794 Eli Whitney invented cotton gins (轧棉机) to replace laborious hand cleaning of cotton grown in the U. S. South. (人们普遍认为“需要是发明之母”。也就是说，当一个社会有一种未被满足的需求时，发明就会出现。相当多的发明确实属于这一类。例如，1794年，Eli Whitney发明了轧棉机，以取代美国南部种植的棉花的手工清洗)”可知，以Eli Whitney发明轧棉机为例，就是为了阐释“需求是发明之母”这一观点，所以是用其来举例说明观点。故选D项。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Public contentment with these two means remained high until World War I when the armies concluded that they really did need trucks, which eventually made those vehicles a substitute for horse-drawn wagons in industrialized countries.(公众对这两种交通工具的满意度一直很高，直到第一次世界大战，军队得出结论，他们确实需要卡车，这最终使卡车成为工业化国家马车的替代品)”可知，是军队的需要推动了机动车的流行。故选C项。
30．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Inventors often have to persist at their tinkering for a long time in the absence of public demand, because early models perform too poorly to be useful. For instance, the first cameras, typewriters, and television sets were as awful as Otto’s seven-foot-tall gas engine. That makes it difficult for an inventor to foresee whether his or her awful prototype might eventually find a use and thus invest more time and expense to develop it.(在没有公众需求的情况下，发明家通常不得不长时间坚持他们的修理, 因为早期模型的性能太差而无法使用。例如，第一台相机、打字机和电视机与 Otto的7英尺高的燃气发动机一样糟糕。这使得发明家很难预见他或她糟糕的原型最终是否会找到用途，从而投入更多的时间和费用来开发它)”可知，That指代的就是前面提到的早期模型性能差这一情况。故选B项。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“It is a common view that “Necessity is the mother of invention”. (人们普遍认为“需要是发明之母”)”以及第二段中 “Thus, invention is often the mother of necessity, rather than vice versa.(因此，发明往往是必要性之母, 而不是反过来)”以及最后一段中“Even inventions that meet the need for which they were initially designed may later prove more valuable at meeting unforeseen needs. While James Watt designed his steam engine to pump water from mines, it soon was supplying power to cotton mills, then (with much greater profit) propelling trains and boats.(即使是满足最初设计需求的发明，也可能在后来证明在满足不可预见的需求方面更有价值。虽然詹姆斯·瓦特设计了他的蒸汽机从矿井中抽水，但它很快就为棉纺厂提供动力，然后（利润更大）推动火车和船只)”可知，本文强调发明往往超出了事先所认定的需求，是出于好奇的一种探索追求。C 选项“超越需求：对发明的好奇追求” 能很好地概括文章主旨，故选C项。
【答案】32．A 33．D 34．C 35．D
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在科幻小说中，机器人来了通常是一个可怕的警告。然而，在现实生活中，机器人虽然可能使工厂和仓库中的高薪工作消失，但机器人技术的最新进展将给社会带来真实而重大的益处。
【解析】32．细节理解题。根据第一段的“Even if we know robots are not literally the murderous machines of films in which the inventor loses control of his creation, they can inspire fear. In the real world, they are able to kill off well-paid jobs in factories and warehouses. (即使我们知道，机器人并不是电影中发明者失去控制的杀人机器，它们也会引发恐惧。在现实世界中，他们能够扼杀工厂和仓库中的高薪工作)” 可知，人们担心机器人的原因是它们会使越来越多的高薪工作消失，导致失业率上升。故选A。
33．细节理解题。根据第二段的“This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words. You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to “pick up the yellow fruit”. Such models in effect allow robots a degree of common sense — in this case, knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit. You can tell a robot to adjust its behaviour simply by changing an instruction, something that would previously have required complicated reprogramming.(这使得使用普通单词处理机器人成为可能。你可以问机器人它能看到什么，或者告诉它“捡起黄色的水果”。这样的模型实际上让机器人有了一定程度的常识——在这种情况下，机器人知道附近的香蕉是一种黄色的水果。你可以告诉机器人通过改变指令来调整其行为，这在以前需要复杂的重新编程)”可知，多模态AI模型的优势在于它们使机器人能够理解口头命令。故选D。
34．推理判断题。根据第三段的“The new models are also less likely to make things up, as the way they perceive things is rooted in observations of the world, and they aim to ensure that cognitive and physical reality match.(新模型也不太可能编造事实，因为它们感知事物的方式是建立在对世界的观察基础上的，它们的目标是确保认知和物理现实相匹配)” 可推知，新模型感知事物的方式是基于对世界的观察的，所以不太可能编造东西，会更可靠。故选C。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living as they are aging rapidly. Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later.(发达经济体正在迅速老龄化，如果要维持其生活水平，就需要更多的自动化。如果没有机器人的帮助，更多的人可能不得不延长工作时间，推迟退休)”可推知，作者认为在老龄化社会中，机器人有助于维持劳动生产力。故选D。

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些关于坚持日程安排的建议。
【解析】36．前文“An anchor habit is something you do at a particular time of day that you’re not at risk of skipping. It will help shape and structure your day. It doesn’t matter what the habit is, but it should be easy for you to do. (锚点习惯是你每天在特定时间做的事情，你不会有跳过的风险。这将有助于塑造和组织你的一天。习惯是什么并不重要，但它应该是你容易做到的)”解释锚点习惯的含义，指出该习惯要容易做到，后文“Don’t choose something you struggle to get done as an anchor habit. (不要选择一些你很难完成的事情作为锚点习惯)”指出应避免选择困难的事作为该习惯，因此D项“For example, reading a few pages of a book every night before bed. (例如，每晚睡前读几页书)”符合语境，是对这种习惯的举例说明，承前启后。故选D。
37．前文“A daily schedule is a series of behaviors. Behaviors only become automatic if you keep how, when, and where you do them consistently for about three months. (每日计划是一系列的行为。如果你坚持三个月的行为方式、时间和地点，它们才会变得自动)”指出行为要持续约三个月才能自动形成，因此E项“Once they become more automatic, they will take less effort to keep. (一旦它们变得更自动，保持起来就会不那么费力)”符合语境，说明行为自动形成后的好处，承接前文。故选E。
38．前文“Structure rewards around daily tasks, such as watching a video after a period of study and scheduling walks as enjoyable motivations. (围绕日常任务安排奖励，比如在学习一段时间后看个视频，安排散步作为愉快的动机)”建议做完日常任务后实施奖励，后文“What do you want to do as a reward either during or after the daily behavior you’re trying to maintain (在你试图维持的日常行为期间或之后，你想做什么作为奖励)”提到思考奖励的问题，因此B项“Get to know yourself and what works for you. (了解你自己，知道什么适合你)”符合语境，建议了解适合自己的东西，承前启后。故选B。
39．后文“Equipment can help you maintain a schedule. Kitchen equipment might help support a cooking schedule. Hiking equipment might help support an outdoor activity schedule. (设备可以帮助你保持日程安排。厨房设备可能有助于支持烹饪计划。徒步旅行装备可能有助于支持户外活动计划)”主要讲各种设备有助于维持日程安排，因此A项“Use tools to support you. (使用工具来支持你)”符合语境，建议用工具来帮助自己，契合该段内容，与其他段首句同为祈使句的形式，适合作为段首句。故选A。
40．前文“Find and join a community. (找到并加入一个社群)”建议用社群来帮助自己坚持日程安排，后文“Therefore, find a community where the schedule or behaviors you’re trying to maintain are normal and join it. (因此，找一个你想保持正常日程安排或行为的社群，加入它)”给出结论，说明要加入社群，因此G项“It’s much harder to maintain any behavior if it isn’t common for the people around you. (如果周围的人都不常做，那么维持任何行为都要难得多)”符合语境，解释了要加入社群的原因，承接前文，和后文是因果关系。故选G。

67．【答案】One possible version:
With a hesitant step, I approached the old man, wanting to understand the source of his contentment. As I neared, his melody softened, and he looked up with a gentle smile. “Beautiful tune, ” I said, unsure how to begin. He nodded, his hands resting on the harmonica. “Music doesn’t fix everything, but it reminds me there’s still beauty in the world, ” he said. I hesitated, then shared my struggle - the feeling of being lost, the weight of purposelessness. “Life isn’t about having all the answers, ” he added. “It’s about finding meaning, even in the little things. That’s what keeps me going. ”
After hearing what he said, I felt a glimmer of hope as I reached for my own suitcase. The old man’s words stayed with me, urging me to stop running and start creating purpose. Dropping a coin in his hat, I thanked him - not just for the music, but for the wisdom. As I boarded the train, the station no longer felt chaotic but alive with possibilities. This time I was resolved to push forward. The uncertainty ahead no longer frightened me. Instead, it felt like a blank canvas waiting to be painted, a melody waiting to be played.
