Situated learning theory(SLT), first presented by Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger, explains the
process and development of learning when individuals have the opportunity to participate in a
community of practice. In such a community, new learners have more opportunities to practice
within the context of learning. In this light, learning is unintentional; this unintentional nature of
learning is what the authors call Legitimate Peripheral Participation(LPP) (合法的边缘性参与). In
LPP, the learner moves from the edge of the community to the center. At first, they participate
around the edge and gain expertise until they become more skilled and become experts.
A similar theory is situated cognition (认知), proposed by John Seely Brown, Allan Collins and
Paul Duguid. Their understanding goes deeper into the social nature of learning and argues that
learning cannot be removed from the situations in which expertise is gained and merely be applied in
school. The culture of conventional schooling influences what is learned, and decontextualized
instruction does not lead to effective learning.
SLT has been used in school settings to improve teaching and learning. It's important, however,
to notice that although the school offers the social context for learning, it sometimes falls short in the
use of this theory. The construction of knowledge needs to be put in a proper and accurate context
where learners can participate and apply what is learned. The nature of situated learning and the
emphasis on LPP as a way to understand how learning develops can be applied in instruction to
understand and design learning processes.
SLT is of great value in many ways. It brings to the table the importance of recognizing learning
as a series of activities going beyond just sharing content. The interaction of the learner and the
expert in the community of practice and the development of the former into a level of expertise
together in a contextualized setting are what finally supports knowledge construction.
24. How can learners grow into experts
A. By seizing more chances to practice.
B. By studying under the guidance of experts.
C. By acquiring knowledge through LPP.
D. By seeking help from special communities.
25. Which might SLT and situated cognition both agree with
A. Learning should happen in a related setting.
B. Knowledge is the product of the context.
C. Learners need to apply expertise in schools.
D. Conventional schooling requires updating.
26. What should schools focus on about SLT
A. Its theoretical nature. B. Its desired influence.
C. Its academic instruction. D. Its precise application.
27. What is the significance of SLT
A. It helps enrich the learning process.
B. It reveals the importance of expertise.
C. It stresses the necessity of participation.
D. It gives a new way to share knowledge.
C
It's April 1, 1911, and 32-year-old Albert Einstein sits on a train with his family. They are
travelling from Zurich to Prague, where Einstein has landed a job as a full professor of theoretical
physics. He has a few things on his mind, including money troubles, but the most critical is his
unfinished theory of relativity. When they leave the city 15 months later, Einstein will have cracked
the code.
What happens over this long, unusual year in Prague is the question driving Ken Krimstein's
new novel Einstein in Kafkaland —part biography (传 记 ), part historical fiction. Krimstein
playfully explores the possibilities, building, with footnotes, on a thorough collection of letters,
diaries, and other research. The result is an enjoyable, inspiring read made up of comics.
Krimstein also pairs Einstein's story with that of Franz Kafka, who was 28, virtually
unpublished. What ties the two together, in addition to a meeting at a club, is a preoccupation with
getting at the truth—"the true truth". During Einstein's time in Prague, a time in which he works out
his theory of relativity, Kafka will have his own breakthrough. In one long feverish night he will pen
the short story The Judgment, which will launch an unequaled writing career forever transforming art
and literature. Like Einstein's completed theory, Kafka's work, too, will offer the world a new way of
thinking.
Despite having two characters' names in his title, Krimstein centers mainly on Einstein, and
takes us step by step through the meditations (沉思) that lead to his discovery. Nevertheless, along
the way he provides readers with a glimpse (一瞥) into the life of Kafka. But what Kafka's presence
most crucially enables are imagined conversations between him and Einstein, where the two think
hard about what it means to see the world differently from everyone else.
At its heart, Einstein in Kafkaland is the story of ordinary genius. It unwraps the ways in which
genius so often arises out of ordinary circumstances. Perhaps even more absorbingly, the book tracks
how unimaginable discoveries develop following exchanges with others.
28. What does the underlined part "cracked the code" in paragraph 1 refer to
A. Had a different mission. B. Completed the theory of relativity.
C. Solved his financial troubles. D. Gained insight into theoretical physics.
29. Which words can best describe Einstein's stay in Prague
A. Eventful but unequaled. B. Well-planned and enjoyable.
C. Rewarding and impactful. D. Short-term but transformative.
30. How does Krimstein deal with Einstein in Kafkaland
A. He makes it focus unevenly. B. He writes it in a biographical style.
C. He gives it an appealing title. D. He includes many conversations in it.
31. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. An introduction to a book. B. An essay on Einstein's life.
C. A fantasy about a travel. D. A review of Prague's literature.
D
Eric Slyman of Oregon State University and scientists at a famous software company have
created a new, cost-effective training technique for artificial intelligence (AI) systems that aims to
make them less socially biased (有偏见的). The novel method is called FairDeDup, meaning fair
deduplication (去重). Deduplication means removing unnecessary information from the data, which
lowers the high computing costs of training AI.
Data sets from the Internet often contain biases present in society. When those biases are put in
trained AI models, they can serve to promote ongoing unfair ideas and behavior. By understanding
how deduplication affects the constant presence of bias, it's possible to soften negative effects—such
as an AI system automatically serving up only photos of white men if asked to show a picture of a
CEO in the U. S., when the intended use case is to show diverse representations of people.
"We named it FairDeDup as a play on words for an earlier cost-effective method, SemDeDup,
which we improved upon by including fairness considerations," Slyman said. "While the prior work
has shown that removing this unnecessary data can enable accurate AI training with fewer resources,
we find that this process can also exacerbate the harmful social biases AI often learns. That goes
against our initial intention."
Slyman's method works by thinning the data sets of image descriptions collected from the web
through a process known as pruning (精 简 ). It refers to choosing a subset of the data that's
representative of the whole data set, and if done in a specific manner, pruning allows for informed
decisions about which parts of the data stay and which go. FairDeDup removes data while combining
controllable, human-defined dimensions of diversity to reduce biases.
"Our work doesn't force AI into following our own established concept of fairness but rather
creates a pathway to lead AI to act fairly when contextualized within some settings and user bases in
which it's used. We let people define what is fair in their setting, instead of the Internet or other large
data sets," Slyman said.
32. What problem could the online data sets cause
A. Ignoring current biases in society.
B. Increasing the cost of deduplication.
C. Damaging the integrity of the data.
D. Making AI continue existing injustice.
33. What does the underlined word "exacerbate" in paragraph 3 mean
A. Correct. B. Avoid. C. Worsen. D. Display.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The advantage of pruning. B. The social impact of FairDeDup.
C. The definition of pruning. D. The working principle of FairDeDup.
35. What does Slyman think FairDeDup can do
A. Understand established concepts.
B. Help AI work in a context-based way.
C. Adapt fast to individual preference.
D. Reduce biases of different dimensions.

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。
An event that happened 37 years ago turned out to be a gift for me. Mr. Dalton was one of the
good teachers—one who smiled because he was genuinely happy and was passionate about teaching
us a subject he clearly loved: plane geometry. I was a quiet kid without much social skills, who just
didn't say much. I neither got in much trouble nor got noticed. Today, they would call me a nerd (书
呆子). Somehow, plane geometry really clicked for me in his class.
Toward the end of the year, Mr. Dalton wanted to check our knowledge of geometry and gave
us a 25-question true-or-false nationally standardized test. The test presented each problem with a
conclusion shown. If we could prove the result using our theories, the answer was true. If it couldn't
be proved, it was false.
I worked through 24 problems, but number 17 was a challenge! I knew intuitively (凭直觉地)
that I could prove it. I spent 30 minutes on that proof, covering my page with all sorts of lines I could
think of, until the proof was there at last. Satisfied, I marked the question true and handed in the test.
When the results came back the next day, my score was 96, and number 17 was marked wrong!
When Mr. Dalton asked if there were any questions, for the first time, my hand shot up. "Sir, I think
the correct answer to question number 17 is true!"
Instead of arguing that this was a nationally standardized test and what I could possibly know
about the answer, Mr. Dalton did the most powerful thing I have ever seen a teacher do. Saying
nothing and smiling encouragingly, he held out his chalk to me from the front of the classroom.

参考答案
第一部分 听力
1—5 ABAAB 6—10 CCBCC
11—15 ABCAB 16—20 BCACA
第二部分 阅读理解
第一节
21. 答案：C
解析：考查理解具体信息的能力。根据 Tickets 部分的"Workers…email the recording 24–48 hours
after the talk"可知，嘉宾可以收到此次讲座的录像。故选 C 项"活动录像"。
22. 答案：A
解析：考查理解具体信息的能力。根据 About this event 部分中的"have overlooked what those
with autism experienced in life. This talk will center on this unnoticed side of autism"可知，专业人
士忽视了自闭症患者在生活中的经历，此次讲座将聚焦于自闭症未被注意的这一面，也就是自
闭症个体的生活经历。
23. 答案：B
解析：考查推断的能力。根据嘉宾的评价"a powerful platform as enables me to gain insights into
specialized knowledge." "understanding to the world of neuroscience" "Seed Talks have done an
incredible job in making all their topics easily digestible and enjoyable to learn about"等内容可知，
Seed Talks 使其主题易于理解并且让人能愉快地学习。
24. 答案：C
解析：考查理解具体信息的能力。根据第一段中的"new learner… practice within the context of
learning"和 "this unintentional nature of learning is what the authors call Legitimate Peripheral
Participation(LPP) (合法的边缘性参与)…participate around the edge and gain expertise until they
become more skilled and become experts"可知，学习者通过合法的边缘性参与(LPP)获得专业知
识，从领域的边缘逐渐向中心移动，最终成为专家。
25. 答案：A
解析：考查推断的能力。根据第一段中的"new learners…practice within the context of learning"和
第 二 段 中 的 "learning cannot be removed from the situations in which expertise is gained"
"decontextualized instruction does not lead to effective learning"可知，两种理论都认为学习应该发
生在相关的情境中。
26. 答案：D
解析：考查推断的能力。第三段提到尽管学校为学习提供了社会环境，但它有时在应用情境学
习理论方面做得不够。知识的建构需要置于一个学习者可以真正参与和应用所学知识的合适且
准确的情境中。由此可推知虽然学校也意识到了情境的重要性，也有所应用，但应用不够准确
到位。故选 D。
27. 答案：A
解析：考查推断的能力。文章提到根据情境学习理论，学习者和专家的互动以及学习者在情境
化环境中发展到专业水平，最终促成了知识的建构。再结合最后一段的"SLT is of great value…
brings to the table the importance of recognizing learning as a series of activities going beyond just
sharing content"可知，情境学习理论的一个意义是它有助于丰富学习过程。
28. 答案：B
解析：考查理解词汇的能力。根据上文中的"They are travelling from Zurich to Prague" "the most
critical is his unfinished theory of relativity"及第三段中的"During Einstein's time in Prague, a time
in which he works out his theory of relativity"可知，此处指离开苏黎世 15 个月后，阿尔伯特 爱
因斯坦完成了相对论。cracked the code 原意为"破译密码"，此处呼应上文的"unfinished theory
of relativity"，指"完成了相对论"。故选 B。
29. 答案：C
解析：考查推断的能力。根据第三段中的"During Einstein's time in Prague, a time in which he
works out his theory of relativity"可知，在布拉格，爱因斯坦完成了相对论，这说明这次停留是
有重大意义的。根据第三段中的"Like Einstein's completed theory…offer the world a new way of
thinking"可知，爱因斯坦在布拉格完成的相对论能为世界提供一种新的思维方式，说明这次停
留是有影响力的。
30. 答案：A
解析：考查推断的能力。根据倒数第二段中的"Despite having…Krimstein centers mainly on
Einstein…along the way he provides readers with a glimpse (一瞥) into the life of Kafka"可知，尽管
书名里包含两个人名，但克里姆斯坦主要关注爱因斯坦，同时也让读者得以一窥卡夫卡的生活。
由此可知，书的中心并不均衡。
31. 答案：A
解析：考查理解文章出处的能力。根据文章内容，尤其是第二段中的"driving Ken Krimstein's
new novel Einstein in Kafkaland""part biography (传记), part historical fiction" "The result is an
enjoyable, inspiring read made up of comics"，倒数第二段中的"Despite…his title, Krimstein centers
mainly on Einstein"和最后一段中的"At its heart, Einstein in Kafkaland is the story of ordinary
genius"可知，本文是对肯 克里姆斯坦的新漫画小说 Einstein in Kafkaland 的介绍。由此可知，
本文最有可能摘自一本书的前言部分。
32. 答案：D
解析：考查推断的能力。根据第二段中的"Data sets from the Internet often contain biases present
in society. When those biases are put in trained AI models, they can serve to promote ongoing unfair
ideas and behavior"可知，网络上的数据集经常包含社会上存在的偏见，当这些偏见被用于训练
过的 AI 模型中时，它们会加剧持续存在的不公平的想法和行为。由此可推断，在线数据集可
能导致 AI 延续现有的不公正。
33. 答案：C
解析：考查理解词汇的能力。画线词前提到 FairDeDup 基于早期一种划算的方法 SemDeDup
进行改进，融入了对公平的考虑。画线词所在句表示先前的工作表明去除不必要的数据可以让
用更少的资源实现准确的 AI 训练成为可能，但这个过程也可能……AI 经常学习到的有害社会
偏见。这违背了 Slyman 他们的初衷。结合第一段中的"that aims to make them less socially biased
(有偏见的)"和第三段第一句中的"which we improved upon by including fairness considerations"
可知，Slyman 他们的意图是减少社会偏见，与之相反的则是加深社会偏见。C 项 Worsen"使变
得更坏，变得更糟，恶化"可解释画线词含义。
34. 答案：D
解析：考查理解主旨要义的能力。第四段主要介绍了 Slyman 的方法(即 FairDeDup)通过精简从
网上收集的图像描述数据集来工作，并在删除数据的同时，结合可控的、人为定义的多样性维
度来减少偏见。由此可见，这段主要是讲 FairDeDup 的工作原理。故选 D。
35. 答案：B
解析：考查推断的能力。根据最后一段中的"Our work doesn't force AI into following our own
established concept of fairness but rather creates a pathway to lead AI to act fairly ... We let people
define what is fair in their setting"可知，Slyman 认为 FairDeDup 创建了一条途径，使 AI 在某些
特定环境和用户群体中能够公平地行动，让人们在他们的环境中定义什么是公平。由此可推断
，FairDeDup 让 AI 基于环境工作，在不同的环境中对公平有不同的处理。
第二节
36. 答案：F
解析：空前"Volunteering is a transformative act that not only benefits individuals but also has a
profound impact on communities."提到，志愿服务对个人和社区都有深远的影响。空后的内容列
举了志愿服务的具体好处。所以这里需要一个引出下文的过渡句。F 项(志愿服务带来的显著
影响如下)符合语境，故选 F。
37. 答案：G
解析：空前的"They step up to fill gaps in services, provide assistance to vulnerable populations, and
support community organizations and nonprofits."提到，志愿者填补服务空缺、帮助弱势群体和
支持社区组织。空后的"whether it's feeding the homeless, tutoring disadvantaged children, or
offering support to the elderly."提到了具体的服务活动。所以这里需要一个总结志愿者"提供何种
服务"的句子。G 项(志愿者提供原本可能无法获得的基本服务)符合语境，故选 G。
38. 答案：D
解析：根据段落小标题 Inspiring Community Engagement 以及空后的"they are inspired to get
involved themselves"可知，此处是说当人们看到志愿服务的影响时，他们会受到鼓舞，也参与
进来。D 项(当人们看到志愿服务的影响时)符合语境，故选 D。
39. 答案：A
解析：空处为段落小标题。根据本段中的"...forming friendships and networks that extend beyond
the volunteering experience. These social connections not only enhance the social fabric of a
community..."可知，本段的话题是志愿服务如何加强社会联系。A 项(强化社会联系)符合语境，
故选 A。
40. 答案：C
解析：根据本段的小标题 Enhancing Community Health and Happiness 和空前的"Through
healthcare initiatives, volunteers provide medical support, health education, and resources to
underserved populations."可知，此处跟健康有关。C 项(通过解决健康的社会决定性因素)符合语
境，故选 C。

第四部分 写作
第一节
Dear Steve,
I hope this message finds you well. Last Friday, our class had an unforgettable experience at the
Forest Park, where we conducted a geography class focused on environmental protection.
The setting of the park itself was breathtaking, and it provided a perfect backdrop for discussing
the importance of preserving nature. Our teacher guided us through various habitats, pointing out the
impacts of human activities on the environment. We also participated in a clean-up activity,
collecting litter and making a small contribution to the park's well-being.
This experience was truly eye-opening. I realized how fragile our natural environment is and
how important it is to take steps to protect it. I'm looking forward to more such activities in the future.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
Paragraph 1:
I went to the board for the first time. Taking the chalk from Mr. Dalton's hand, I began to
demonstrate my proof to the class step by step. I used the whole board and three different colors of
chalk to get my solution strategy across. In the end, everyone agreed that the correct answer was true,
accompanied by applause. When Mr. Dalton asked if anyone else had come up with that proof, no
one spoke up. He gave credit for the correct answer on number 17, and I ended up with a grade of
100.
Paragraph 2:
That geometry class changed much of my character. Since then, I have had no problem
speaking to a group as long as I believe I'm right, which, in turn, motivates me to be more confident
about myself. Later, I graduated from high school and attended Stanford majoring in Applied
Mathematics. When I returned to my hometown after many years, I looked Mr. Dalton up to thank
him for allowing me to challenge his authority. His gift from that lesson has served me well and will
continue to improve the rest of my life.

Text 10
Hello, everyone! I'm Milton Angelino and I'm really excited to share my experience of studying
business in America. I came to the United States 6 years ago after quitting my job as a bank clerk.
And I started off with a small restaurant. I did all the cooking myself and my wife handled the chores.
My cooking is great. And word got around town about my cooking skills. It was really too much
work for two people. When that restaurant became very busy, I decided to expand my business. I
don't have any TV commercials because they are too expensive. But I advertise a lot on the radio and
I always put customers in mind and make the dining atmosphere as comfortable and pleasant as I can
so that they will want to come back. Hopefully my advice will be helpful to you. Thank you!
