阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Composting (堆肥制造) at Home
What Is Composting
Composting is the managed, oxygen-requiring biological decomposition of organic materials by microorganisms. Organic (carbon-based) materials include grasses, leaves, yard and tree cuttings, and food waste. The end product is compost, a soil conditioner that can provide nutrients to plants. Microorganisms feed on the materials added to the compost pile during composting. They use carbon and nitrogen (氮) to grow and reproduce, water to digest materials, and oxygen to breathe.
Why Is Composting at Home Important
Composting is nature’s way of recycling. We can get a beneficial, value-added soil conditioner and use it to protect the environment.
1. What do we know about composting
A It takes place without oxygen. B. It needs microorganisms’ involvement.
C. It breaks down waste with carbon. D. It starts with a special soil conditioner.
2. What can compost help us do
A. Improve poor soil. B. Prevent flooding. C. Reduce food waste. D. Store carbon in the air.
3. How much carbon material is needed to build a 300 kg compost pile
A. 30 kg. B. 60 kg. C. 90 kg. D. 180 kg.
B
I still remember stepping into the computer lab as a fourth-grade boy, eager to play ST Math with my friends. There was something about those math questions — figuring them out together felt less like school assignments and more like a game we all wanted to win. We’d walk around the lab, helping each other, sharing strategies, and celebrating each success. It wasn’t just about getting the right answer; it was more about the joy of addressing problems collectively.
ST Math was the launching-off point for my love for math, and I found myself teaching math to my friends in middle school, high school, and even college. Not everyone has the same math “origin story” as I do, but I believe teachers can engage a wide range of students by making math playful and by connecting math with the world outside the classroom. Another vital moment in my math journey came in a high school statistics class, where I discovered an amazing role of math. I remember working on a project where we analyzed clinical trial data. I found it fascinating that looking at clinical trial statistics could help distinguish which medications would be the most effective for millions of people.
Years later, I decided to pursue a master’s degree in statistics and ultimately joined MIND as a data analyst. Math became more than a subject. It was a vehicle for comprehending and shaping almost everything around me. I fell in love with math in the moments when I took something theoretical — numbers, formulas (公式), and figures — and translated them into something I could see, feel, and interact with alongside my fellows.
I’m firmly convinced that we’d see more students have a passion for math, if more math classes could be like science classes, where students are engaged in experiments and labs and moments of discovery. Those aha moments, when everything clicks, are what make math come alive and give me the enthusiasm for the discipline I love.
4. What did the author think of ST Math
A. It aimed to identify math talents. B. It relied on games to attract players.
C. It bridged happiness and academics. D. It facilitated the process of getting answers.
5. What does the clinical trial case show
A. Math values logic more than form. B. Data analysis is the basis for math.
C. Medicine connects with math closely. D. Math helps solve practical problems.
6. What did math serve as for the author
A. A tool to sense the real world. B. A guide to shaping minds.
C. A means of interacting with partners. D. A subject of using statistics.
7. How can a teacher fuel students’ interest in math according to the author
A. By keeping good discipline. B. By teaching math classes in labs.
C. By integrating daily elements. D. By providing exploratory experiments.
C
38 students at the University of Michigan set out on a walk. Half of them wound their way through the forest, while the other half had a walk on the busy streets. A week later, the two groups exchanged routes. Both times, before they set out and when they returned to campus, the students took a test that challenged their attention and working memory, where they were given progressively longer strings of numbers to repeat. Walking through town improved their performance slightly, but walking in nature boosted scores by nearly 20 percent.
“You didn’t even need to like or enjoy the nature walk to get these cognitive (认知的) benefits,” said Marc Berman, a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago. In his new book, “Nature and the Mind”, Dr. Berman credits the cognitive benefits of nature to “attention restoration theory”, whose basis is that our ability to focus is a limited resource that gets easily used up, and that being in nature is an effective way to restore it.
One of the most important things about nature, according to attention restoration researchers, is that it involves a kind of “soft fascination”, meaning it pleases us in a gentle way without being too boring or stimulating. (Think about watching ocean waves roll in and out, or staring at a field of wildflowers.) Urban environments, by contrast, are more strongly appealing and demand our careful concentration in a way that exhausts us.
Dr. Berman supposes that one reason nature has this effect on us is its physical properties, particularly its curved lines and shapes. And the curve of a river or rock formation, or the repeating patterns of snow, may be easier for our brains to process than the straight edges of a high-rise. “That might give our brains a rest, and that is why we might see these benefits,” he said.
8 Why is Berman’s book cited in paragraph 2
A. To show reliability of a new theory. B. To highlight students’ affection for nature.
C. To explain nature’s effect theoretically. D. To argue limitedness of people’s concentration.
9. What does “soft fascination” emphasize
A. Intense focus on vivid details. B. gentle engagement of attention.
C. Adaptation to the environment. D. Complete absence of disturbance.
10. How is the processing of curved shapes different from that of straight edges
A. It brings a worse memory. B. It requires less mental effort.
C. It causes more attention stress. D. It involves greater brain activity.
11. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Nature’s role in restoring mind. B. The gains of walking outdoors.
C. The ways of training concentration. D. Surroundings’ effect on cognition.
D
A major policy challenge with AI is just how skillful it’s become at role-playing as humans. Users now regularly turn to AI chatbots for life advice, mental health support, and even guidance on relationship issues. Safety advocates in the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently announced that it’s launching a formal inquiry into seven major companies, focusing on whether their AI chatbots have enough safety preparations to prevent risks like misinformation or improper emotional control. Yet there’s another way to see AI as a policy issue: Could AI one day be worthy of legal rights
Some leading tech firms are taking this question seriously. Last year, AI company Anthropic hired its first “AI welfare” researcher, tasked with studying whether advanced AI systems might deserve ethical treatment, which includes preventing unnecessary “stress” from overwork so that they can function well, or reducing harmful data inputs for overall safety. Former Southern District of New York judge Katherine B. Forrest, who specializes in AI policy, notes that there may never be widespread agreement on exactly when AI qualifies for moral standing, but as public belief in AI’s capacity grows, courts will eventually have to face this brand new challenge.
Extending rights to AI also forces a fundamental rethink of what should count as the detriment to AI. “If it has balanced emotions like humans, then suffering would certainly be counted,” said Forrest. Traditional law, for instance, focuses on compensating (补偿) humans for financial losses, physical injuries, or emotional pains. But if future AI has needs and desires entirely different from humans’, legal systems must adapt.
Some scholars, like law professor Peter Salib from the University of Houston, argue for giving rights to advanced AI — specifically artificial general intelligence. Salib has written in his work of scholarship that giving AI rights to contracts, property and tort (侵权行为) claims would allow it to participate in the economic system and could even benefit humans.
12. Why does the FTC launch the inquiry
A. To check AI chatbots’ functions. B. To advocate for AI chatbots’ rights.
C To identify AI firms’ challenges. D. To know AI firms’ security measures.
13. What can be the ethical treatment of AI systems
A. Avoiding heavy workload. B. Allowing data collection.
C. Upgrading human orders. D. Drafting privacy polices.
14. What does the underlined word “detriment” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Obstacle. B. Key. C. Harm. D. Adaptation.
15. What encourages Peter Salib to advocate giving AI rights
A. AI’s participation in business. B. AI’s potential in the economy.
C. AI’s need for legal protection. D. AI’s difficulty of advancement.
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For more than a decade, I have taught the same course to both undergraduate and graduate students across diverse majors, including business and nursing. Although my lecture materials, slides, and instructional approaches have remained consistent, last year’s student evaluations reached an all-time high.____16____ So what accounted for this dramatic improvement
The most important adjustment was the introduction of a strict new policy regarding technology use. This rule prohibited laptops and mobile phones for note-taking, with a single exception: devices could be used only if students were writing with a stylus (手写笔). Unsurprisingly, this decision was met with immediate doubt and opposition at the very beginning. ____17____ They were convinced that their digital tools were essential for academic efficiency. However, after a short period of adjustment, nearly all students reported a positive change in their ability to concentrate.
To justify this policy, I introduced students to relevant research. One key study demonstrated that students who took notes by hand absorbed approximately 30% more information than those who typed on laptops. ____18____ The mental effort involved in handwriting enhances deeper understanding. Additionally, another study with 520 participants found that students who had their phones on their desks performed 20% worse on tests of focus than those who put them away. ____19____
Further evidence indicates that phones even when powered off, reduce available cognitive capability and lower the quality of face-to-face interaction. ____20____ I believe universities ought to adopt similar measures to support student achievement. This simple yet effective strategy helps create a more focused and engaging learning environment for everyone.
A. This evidence proves the need to boost focus.
B. Many K-12 schools have already banned phones.
C. They worried about missing notes or urgent messages.
D. This shows that phone presence alone impacts students.
E. Students claimed they needed devices for notes or reference.
F. Handwriting forces thinking, while typing is usually mindless.
G. Positive comments about focus and course quality were frequent.

Despite challenges, Alex remained determined, ____28____ that dreams are the lighthouse guiding life’s direction.
As the competition day approached, Alex ____29____ his project with infectious enthusiasm, winning widespread praise and first prize. This ____30____ brought Alex honor and recognition. More importantly, it strengthened his ____31____ to pursue his dream. The experience transforms his life, ____32____ him support and attention from others, and fueling his commitment to studying astronomy.
He realized that persistent (坚持不懈的) efforts can turn dreams into reality. ____33____ to face future challenges, he continued his journey, holding the belief that dreams ____34____ us. Afterwards, he started an after-school astronomy club. With each new discovery, Alex felt more ____35____ to the universe and more convinced that the sky is not the limit but just the beginning.

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。
Just two days earlier, my parents called to announce they were coming to visit grandkids and spend the night. This would be their first stay at our mountain house, but our old mattress (床垫) was worn and a new one couldn’t wait. The forecast had promised heavy rain all weekend, and sure enough it had been pouring until that morning.
My parents arrived early in the morning. By then, my husband was away on business. Though strong winds were still predicted for the afternoon, after settling them in, I decided to drive to the second-hand market in town to find a replacement mattress. I found a king-size steal — only $50. Two employees carried the mattress out and placed it onto the roof of my car. It hung forward over the window of my tiny car by about two feet.
All I needed to do was get it home. All seemed to be going well — until the wind showed its force. With each mile up the mountain, the wind grew wilder, rocking my car back and forth. The mattress felt heavier, pulling at the ropes as if it was trying to break free. The road was too narrow to turn around. I had to keep going.
As I rounded the last turn, I was met head-on by the worst rush of wind. My car too light, the mattress too heavy and the wind too strong, I lost control and crashed into a telephone pole. I tried to start the engine. Nothing. Trapped in the damaged car with my phone running out of battery and darkness falling, I felt a wave of panic wash over me.
Minutes later, a truck approached. I breathed a sigh of relief. But when I saw a huge man get out of the truck and heard a deep, heavily accented voice, that relief disappeared. “Looks like you’ve got yourself in a spot of trouble, ma’am,” he said. Then he reached into his bag and pulled out a knife. My heart missed a beat. This was it. The crash hadn’t killed me, but now this strange man would.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式作答。
I was so scared that my hands began shaking.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Soon, the huge man drove me and my mattress to my doorstep.

Dear John,
I’m delighted to learn that you are seeking suggestions to make our classes more interesting. I’d like to recommend including interactive activities like group debates and role-plays related to our lesson topics.
There are several reasons for this tip. First, such activities create a lively and engaging classroom atmosphere, which naturally boosts our motivation to participate. Second, from a learning perspective, they allow us to apply language in practical, real-life contexts, helping improve our communication skills and speaking fluency. Finally, collaborative tasks can reduce anxiety about speaking and promote teamwork among students.
I’d appreciate it if you consider my ideas. I’m confident these changes will make our learning experience both enjoyable and effective.
读后续写
I was so scared that my hands began shaking. But the attack didn’t happen. With rapid movements, he cut through the ropes holding down the mattress, lifted it onto his shoulder and loaded it onto his truck. I stared at him in shock, with my hands still trembling from the earlier fear. He noticed my unease, paused, and said softly, “I just want to help you get home safely.” Then he walked to the driver’s seat, opened the door, and helped me out. The storm continued, but my panic dissolved as I slid into the truck beside him.
Soon, the huge man drove me and my mattress to my doorstep. Before the truck stopped, I saw my parents rushing toward us, their faces filled with worry. As we got off, my mom hurried over to hold my hand, while my dad helped with the mattress. After the mattress was positioned, I expressed my gratitude to the man and offered to give him some money. But he refused, waving at us and leaving. Watching the truck disappear into the night, I realized how quick I’d been to judge a stranger by his appearance and that kindness often comes in unexpected packages.

I fell in love with math in the moments when I took something theoretical — numbers, formulas (公式), and figures — and translated them into something I could see, feel, and interact with alongside my fellows.
I’m firmly convinced that we’d see more students have a passion for math, if more math classes could be like science classes, where students are engaged in experiments and labs and moments of discovery. Those aha moments, when everything clicks, are what make math come alive and give me the enthusiasm for the discipline I love.
4. What did the author think of ST Math
A. It aimed to identify math talents. B. It relied on games to attract players.
C. It bridged happiness and academics. D. It facilitated the process of getting answers.
5. What does the clinical trial case show
A. Math values logic more than form. B. Data analysis is the basis for math.
C. Medicine connects with math closely. D. Math helps solve practical problems.
6. What did math serve as for the author
A. A tool to sense the real world. B. A guide to shaping minds.
C. A means of interacting with partners. D. A subject of using statistics.
7. How can a teacher fuel students’ interest in math according to the author
A. By keeping good discipline. B. By teaching math classes in labs.
C. By integrating daily elements. D. By providing exploratory experiments.

38 students at the University of Michigan set out on a walk. Half of them wound their way through the forest, while the other half had a walk on the busy streets. A week later, the two groups exchanged routes. Both times, before they set out and when they returned to campus, the students took a test that challenged their attention and working memory, where they were given progressively longer strings of numbers to repeat. Walking through town improved their performance slightly, but walking in nature boosted scores by nearly 20 percent.
“You didn’t even need to like or enjoy the nature walk to get these cognitive (认知的) benefits,” said Marc Berman, a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago. In his new book, “Nature and the Mind”, Dr. Berman credits the cognitive benefits of nature to “attention restoration theory”, whose basis is that our ability to focus is a limited resource that gets easily used up, and that being in nature is an effective way to restore it.
One of the most important things about nature, according to attention restoration researchers, is that it involves a kind of “soft fascination”, meaning it pleases us in a gentle way without being too boring or stimulating. (Think about watching ocean waves roll in and out, or staring at a field of wildflowers.) Urban environments, by contrast, are more strongly appealing and demand our careful concentration in a way that exhausts us.
Dr. Berman supposes that one reason nature has this effect on us is its physical properties, particularly its curved lines and shapes. And the curve of a river or rock formation, or the repeating patterns of snow, may be easier for our brains to process than the straight edges of a high-rise. “That might give our brains a rest, and that is why we might see these benefits,” he said.
8 Why is Berman’s book cited in paragraph 2
A. To show reliability of a new theory. B. To highlight students’ affection for nature.
C. To explain nature’s effect theoretically. D. To argue limitedness of people’s concentration.
9. What does “soft fascination” emphasize
A. Intense focus on vivid details. B. gentle engagement of attention.
C. Adaptation to the environment. D. Complete absence of disturbance.
10. How is the processing of curved shapes different from that of straight edges
A. It brings a worse memory. B. It requires less mental effort.
C. It causes more attention stress. D. It involves greater brain activity.
11. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Nature’s role in restoring mind. B. The gains of walking outdoors.
C. The ways of training concentration. D. Surroundings’ effect on cognition.
D
A major policy challenge with AI is just how skillful it’s become at role-playing as humans. Users now regularly turn to AI chatbots for life advice, mental health support, and even guidance on relationship issues. Safety advocates in the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently announced that it’s launching a formal inquiry into seven major companies, focusing on whether their AI chatbots have enough safety preparations to prevent risks like misinformation or improper emotional control. Yet there’s another way to see AI as a policy issue: Could AI one day be worthy of legal rights
Some leading tech firms are taking this question seriously. Last year, AI company Anthropic hired its first “AI welfare” researcher, tasked with studying whether advanced AI systems might deserve ethical treatment, which includes preventing unnecessary “stress” from overwork so that they can function well, or reducing harmful data inputs for overall safety. Former Southern District of New York judge Katherine B. Forrest, who specializes in AI policy, notes that there may never be widespread agreement on exactly when AI qualifies for moral standing, but as public belief in AI’s capacity grows, courts will eventually have to face this brand new challenge.
Extending rights to AI also forces a fundamental rethink of what should count as the detriment to AI. “If it has balanced emotions like humans, then suffering would certainly be counted,” said Forrest. Traditional law, for instance, focuses on compensating (补偿) humans for financial losses, physical injuries, or emotional pains. But if future AI has needs and desires entirely different from humans’, legal systems must adapt.
Some scholars, like law professor Peter Salib from the University of Houston, argue for giving rights to advanced AI — specifically artificial general intelligence. Salib has written in his work of scholarship that giving AI rights to contracts, property and tort (侵权行为) claims would allow it to participate in the economic system and could even benefit humans.
12. Why does the FTC launch the inquiry
A. To check AI chatbots’ functions. B. To advocate for AI chatbots’ rights.
C To identify AI firms’ challenges. D. To know AI firms’ security measures.
13. What can be the ethical treatment of AI systems
A. Avoiding heavy workload. B. Allowing data collection.
C. Upgrading human orders. D. Drafting privacy polices.
14. What does the underlined word “detriment” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Obstacle. B. Key. C. Harm. D. Adaptation.
15. What encourages Peter Salib to advocate giving AI rights
A. AI’s participation in business. B. AI’s potential in the economy.
C. AI’s need for legal protection. D. AI’s difficulty of advancement.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For more than a decade, I have taught the same course to both undergraduate and graduate students across diverse majors, including business and nursing. Although my lecture materials, slides, and instructional approaches have remained consistent, last year’s student evaluations reached an all-time high.____16____ So what accounted for this dramatic improvement
The most important adjustment was the introduction of a strict new policy regarding technology use. This rule prohibited laptops and mobile phones for note-taking, with a single exception: devices could be used only if students were writing with a stylus (手写笔). Unsurprisingly, this decision was met with immediate doubt and opposition at the very beginning. ____17____ They were convinced that their digital tools were essential for academic efficiency. However, after a short period of adjustment, nearly all students reported a positive change in their ability to concentrate.
To justify this policy, I introduced students to relevant research. One key study demonstrated that students who took notes by hand absorbed approximately 30% more information than those who typed on laptops. ____18____ The mental effort involved in handwriting enhances deeper understanding. Additionally, another study with 520 participants found that students who had their phones on their desks performed 20% worse on tests of focus than those who put them away. ____19____
Further evidence indicates that phones even when powered off, reduce available cognitive capability and lower the quality of face-to-face interaction. ____20____ I believe universities ought to adopt similar measures to support student achievement. This simple yet effective strategy helps create a more focused and engaging learning environment for everyone.
A. This evidence proves the need to boost focus.
B. Many K-12 schools have already banned phones.
C. They worried about missing notes or urgent messages.
D. This shows that phone presence alone impacts students.
E. Students claimed they needed devices for notes or reference.
F. Handwriting forces thinking, while typing is usually mindless.
G. Positive comments about focus and course quality were frequent.

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。
Just two days earlier, my parents called to announce they were coming to visit grandkids and spend the night. This would be their first stay at our mountain house, but our old mattress (床垫) was worn and a new one couldn’t wait. The forecast had promised heavy rain all weekend, and sure enough it had been pouring until that morning.
My parents arrived early in the morning. By then, my husband was away on business. Though strong winds were still predicted for the afternoon, after settling them in, I decided to drive to the second-hand market in town to find a replacement mattress. I found a king-size steal — only $50. Two employees carried the mattress out and placed it onto the roof of my car. It hung forward over the window of my tiny car by about two feet.
All I needed to do was get it home. All seemed to be going well — until the wind showed its force. With each mile up the mountain, the wind grew wilder, rocking my car back and forth. The mattress felt heavier, pulling at the ropes as if it was trying to break free. The road was too narrow to turn around. I had to keep going.
As I rounded the last turn, I was met head-on by the worst rush of wind. My car too light, the mattress too heavy and the wind too strong, I lost control and crashed into a telephone pole. I tried to start the engine. Nothing. Trapped in the damaged car with my phone running out of battery and darkness falling, I felt a wave of panic wash over me.
Minutes later, a truck approached. I breathed a sigh of relief. But when I saw a huge man get out of the truck and heard a deep, heavily accented voice, that relief disappeared. “Looks like you’ve got yourself in a spot of trouble, ma’am,” he said. Then he reached into his bag and pulled out a knife. My heart missed a beat. This was it. The crash hadn’t killed me, but now this strange man would.

I was so scared that my hands began shaking.

Dear John,
I’m delighted to learn that you are seeking suggestions to make our classes more interesting. I’d like to recommend including interactive activities like group debates and role-plays related to our lesson topics.
There are several reasons for this tip. First, such activities create a lively and engaging classroom atmosphere, which naturally boosts our motivation to participate. Second, from a learning perspective, they allow us to apply language in practical, real-life contexts, helping improve our communication skills and speaking fluency. Finally, collaborative tasks can reduce anxiety about speaking and promote teamwork among students.
I’d appreciate it if you consider my ideas. I’m confident these changes will make our learning experience both enjoyable and effective.
读后续写
I was so scared that my hands began shaking. But the attack didn’t happen. With rapid movements, he cut through the ropes holding down the mattress, lifted it onto his shoulder and loaded it onto his truck. I stared at him in shock, with my hands still trembling from the earlier fear. He noticed my unease, paused, and said softly, “I just want to help you get home safely.” Then he walked to the driver’s seat, opened the door, and helped me out. The storm continued, but my panic dissolved as I slid into the truck beside him.
Soon, the huge man drove me and my mattress to my doorstep. Before the truck stopped, I saw my parents rushing toward us, their faces filled with worry. As we got off, my mom hurried over to hold my hand, while my dad helped with the mattress. After the mattress was positioned, I expressed my gratitude to the man and offered to give him some money. But he refused, waving at us and leaving. Watching the truck disappear into the night, I realized how quick I’d been to judge a stranger by his appearance and that kindness often comes in unexpected packages.
