Mark Twain’s words strike a deep chord (心弦) with writers, “The difference between the
right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.”
This quote shows the tiring process of rewriting a novel. The first draft feels like an exciting first
date—full of promise and relaxation. You finish with a broad smile, imagining readers
applauding your brilliance.
But that honeymoon period lasts only about 48 hours. Soon, the sinking feeling sets in as
you revisit your draft, realizing the hard part has just begun. Rewriting is where real writers
emerge. It’s time to dig deep, pulling out the tools and techniques you’ve gathered over the years.
You revisit your favorite authors, hoping they’ll offer guidance for navigating the rocky road of
revision.
Rewriting demands you comb through each sentence, ensuring it contains the exact right
word. Every character must earn its place in the story, and each chapter should contribute
meaningfully to the narrative. Even your beloved pieces of dialogue may need to be cut.
I learned this while working on my novel. The rewriting process haunted (萦绕) me, and I
often questioned if the effort was worth it. One night, nearing 2 a.m. after an exhausting session,
I thought about abandoning my work. That’s when I came across the film In Time, which
highlighted my deepest fear: the time invested in my novel. At that moment, I struck a deal with
myself. I decided to cease the self-criticism and recapture the joy that fueled my writing. I
committed to evaluating my work page by page, asking, “Do I love it ” If not, I replaced it.
Here’s my advice: reawaken your passion and examine your work one page at a time.
Writing is a journey, and the rewriting period bridges inspiration and a satisfying finished product.
Remember, the “right word” is the key to excellence.
英语试题第4页（共 12 页）
24.What do Mark Twain’s words imply
A. Revising is a rocky road. B. Readers’ feeling matters.
C. Quoting precisely is a must. D. The first draft rarely falls short.
25. What does the author think of rewriting
A. Time-wasting. B. Labor-saving. C. Heartbreaking. D. Painstaking.
26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Which word should be highlighted. B. Why the writing process is questioned.
C. What the film In Time talks about. D. How the passion for rewriting is fueled.
27. What does the author’s advice show

B. The importance of proper wording.

D. The journey to creating an excellent product.

When we talk of human actions harming the environment, we often think of pollution, overuse
of resources or destruction of habitats. But introducing new species into areas where they don’t
naturally live can also be destructive. One such invasive (入侵的) species is the zebra mussel.
Zebra mussels live in fresh water and are native to the Caspian and Black Seas, which are
found in between Europe and Asia. These seas are less salty than most, so a freshwater species
like the zebra mussel can live there and in nearby lakes. By attaching onto ships, the mollusks
(软体动物) have spread to much of Europe and North America, causing a problem for the
environment and humans alike.
When species are abruptly introduced to a new ecosystem, they often damage the balance
of that ecosystem, and zebra mussels are no exception. They feed by phytoplankton (浮游植物)
and other nutrients out of the water when they pass through their shells, and they do so with
striking efficiency. This means that when zebra mussels arrive in a new area, they consume so
much phytoplankton that other species that also eat the same food source struggle to get a
sufficient amount of food. Since those other creatures, in turn, are a food source for still other
species, zebra mussels harm everything in the lake.
Zebra mussels also create problems for humans because they multiply so quickly. They
often grow on objects made by humans, and groups of them can prevent these objects from
functioning. For example, zebra mussels have been known to obstruct the flow of water through
pipes, which can prevent communities from getting clean drinking water. They attach to these
objects firmly enough that they can prove difficult and expensive to clean.
英语试题第5页（共 12 页）
Removal of zebra mussels is incredibly difficult, so only by stopping them from spreading
can people limit the troubles they cause. Governments of areas affected are taking steps to
prevent their spread mostly by privately-owned boats. So, boaters must clean, drain (排空), and
dry their boats and motors before entering one lake or another to defend against their further
spread.
28. Why does the author mention the environmental problems in the beginning
A. To introduce the topic. B. To predict the ending.
C. To emphasize the effects. D. To illustrate an argument.
29. What can we learn about zebra mussels
A. They need salty water to survive.
B. They only exist in Europe and Asia.
C. They often break the balance of the ecosystem.
D. They eat less phytoplankton than any other species.
30. What does the underlined word “obstruct” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Avoid. B. Block. C. Control. D. Direct.
31. What does the last paragraph focus on
A. The damages caused by zebra mussels.
B. The difficulties zebra mussels encounter.
C. The measures to stop zebra mussels spreading.
D. The rapid reproduction speed of zebra mussels.
D
Scientists at Finland’s Aalto University have found that using artificial intelligence (AI)
almost removes and reverses (逆转) the Dunning-Kruger effect, a phenomenon that people who
aren’t very good at a given task are overconfident, while people with high ability tend to
underestimate their skills. Their research showed that when using common chatbots to solve
problems, everyone (regardless of their skill level) tended to put too much faith in the quality of
the answers, with the most experienced AI users doing so the most.
In the study, scientists gave 500 subjects logical reasoning tasks, with half allowed to use
ChatGPT. Both groups were later quizzed on both their AI literacy and how well they thought
they performed, and promised extra rewards if they assessed their own performance accurately.
The reasons behind the findings are varied. Because AI users were usually satisfied with
their answer after only one question or prompt (提示), accepting the answer without further
checking or confirmation, they can be said to have engaged in what Robin Welsch, an Aalto
University computer scientist, calls “cognitive (认知) offloading”—exploring the question with
reduced reflection, and approaching it in a more “shallow” way.
英语试题第6页（共 12 页）
Such less engagement in our own reasoning means we bypass the usual feedback process of
critical thinking, which reduces our ability to assess our performance accurately. Even more
revealing was the fact that we all overestimate our abilities when using AI, regardless of our
intelligence, with the gap between high- and low-skill users reducing. The study owed this to the
fact that large language models (LLMs) help everyone perform better to some degree. Meanwhile,
the Aalto team warned of several potential impacts as AI becomes more widespread.
Firstly, metacognitive accuracy overall might suffer. Without reflecting on results, error
checking or deeper reasoning, we risk weakening our ability to source information reliably, the
scientists said in the study. What’s more, the flattening of the Dunning-Kruger Effect will mean
we’ll all continue to overestimate our abilities while using AI, with the more AI-literate among
us doing so even more—leading to an increased climate of miscalculated decision-making and a
drop in their skills.
32. What did Aalto University researchers discover about AI chatbot use
A. Low-ability users became less confident.
B. It strengthened the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
C. Users generally over-trusted the chatbot’s answers.
D. Only beginners often thought highly of their abilities.
33. Which aspect of the research is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The purpose. B. The process.
C. The subjects. D. The findings.
34. Why do the users often overestimate their abilities
A. LLMs’ aid improves users’ task performance.
B. Users often skip the process of critical thinking.
C. AI tools contribute to users’ metacognitive accuracy.
D. The gap between high- and low-skill AI users is bridged.
35. What will be probably talked about in the following paragraph
A. Regulations for narrowing AI users’ skill gap.
B. Guidelines for sourcing information reliably.
C. Methods for preventing users’ cognitive decline.
D. Tips for improving the subjects’ performance.

When Becca’s parents informed her that the family would be hiking to Big Bend National

about it were some things her friend Shayla had told her that the cell phone signal was not very
good, and that there was very little to do. 36 .

with her. “See, a mountain lion! Amazing!” The three of them stared at it in open-mouthed
astonishment. 39 . “Uh, Mom, Dad,” Becca finally said as the lion slid into some tall
bushes. “I didn’t know Big Bend is so beautiful or that mountain lions live here. I can hardly
believe what I am seeing!”
“Yeah, honey. That’s the wonder of nature—you’re always discovering something new!” her
mom exclaimed in excitement. “That’ true. Becca. Just keep our minds open to things. 40 !”
her dad added.

The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge, the 56 (world) highest bridge, open to
traffic in China on September 28, cuts travel time across the canyon from two hours to just two
minutes after three years of construction.
The newly built Canyon Bridge, 57 (tower) 625 meters above the Beipan River

surrounding area had welcomed 58 (rough) 100,100 visitors. At 59 very

For Han Hongju, chief engineer of Guizhou Communications Investment Group Co., Ltd.,

records. “The bridge was not built for ‘the world’s No. 1’ title, 64 for the people in

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。
My mom, an experienced professional caregiver, works at a nursing home named Greenfield.
Helping and caring for the seniors in need is her routine, the Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默症)
patients in particular. And mom always says: “They need me, honey! I must keep a close eye on
them in case they forget their way back or get into trouble!”
That really let me down. For thousands of times, how I wished mom could accompany me
but not them, especially in the moments like my singing show, school open day, .... But “her
empty seat” showed everything. Such is my Mom, who is always there for her beloved elders.
As scheduled on Monday morning, our singing contest themed “For Mama” arrived. This
was no exception for her! With others’ moms seated, I took my turn standing on the stage, “the
empty seat” igniting my eyes! “Need her again!” I thought to myself. The well-prepared song
still at the tip of my tongue, I hurriedly finished my part, stepped off the stage, and rushed out of
the hall. Anger washed over me nonstop all the time.
After school, head down, I dragged my feet on the road and couldn’t help complaining about
mom’s absence. “My ... daughter ... my ...”, an old lady out of nowhere came over to me. She
repeated the same words, which added to my annoyance. “Out of my way!” popped out of my
mouth, and I quickened my pace to avoid her intentionally.
And almost immediately, I felt a bit sorry for my rude behaviors. So, I slowed down,
thinking to myself, “Why is the old lady always murmuring (低语) ‘My ... daughter ...’ ” “Is she
OK ” “Get lost ” or “Alzheimer’s ” A stream of questions flooded into my mind. Occupied with
such guesses, I turned back to look for the old lady. Luckily, she was still standing where she had
been. Nevertheless, apart from the repeated “My ...”, I knew nothing more about her. I was totally
at a loss what to do next.

书面表达：
Physical or online bookstores, which do you prefer
Nowadays, opinions vary among people towards physical and online
bookstores. From my perspective, I tend to opt for the latter. The reasons are as
follows.
First and foremost, online bookstores offer a wide range of selections, even
some classic editions that are hard to find in physical ones. What’s more, just
with a click on the screen, we can pick and purchase books anywhere and
anytime, which saves us a large amount of time. Additionally, besides the
pocket-friendly discounts online, what seems unique about online bookstores is
the frank book reviews from other readers, which may also surprise us!
All in all, I prefer online bookstores for their extensive options, time
economy and high efficiency.

After much hesitation, I called Mom for help. I told her about the old lady
murmuring “My … daughter …” and my concern that she might be lost. Hearing
what I said, Mom arrived in a hurry, her nursing home uniform still on. She
gently approached and held the lady’s hands softly. “Auntie, I’m from
Greenfield. Do you live there ” With her eyes lighting up, she nodded slightly.
After checking with her workmates, mom confirmed she was actually from the
nursing home where she worked. She then carefully took her by the arm and
whispered comforting words in her ear.
Mom’s gentle care for the old lady inspired me to do something for the
nursing home. The next weekends, I often went to Greenfield with Mom. I
helped comb their hair and listened to their stories, just as Mom did. I also sang
the songs for the seniors, who clapped warmly. Seeing their bright smiles, I
finally understood Mom’s choice—to devote herself to caring for those in need.
Now, I become a volunteer there, deeply realizing that love and kindness are the
warmest companions for everyone, and that helping others brings a profound joy
which enriches my soul.

W: Congratulations on getting your own apartment, James!
M: Thanks! Now, I just need to get some furniture so I can have people over for dinner.
W: What do you need My parents have some extra furniture that I might be able to give you …
M: Well, I have a sofa and a bed. That’s it. If I invited more than two people over, there
wouldn’t be enough places for them to sit down.
W: My parents have some chairs you might want. And I remember they have two tables.
They have one for the dining room. I assume you can have the other one and put your TV
on it.
M: Wow, thanks. I’d appreciate that.
W: No problem. What else do you need
M: Well, I need a shelf for my books. You know, I’ve got tons of books.
W: Yeah. But I don’t think my parents have any extra bookshelves. Maybe we could go to
some yard sales this Saturday. We might be able to get a nice one.
M: Sounds great! Do you want to meet here or at your place
W: Let’s meet here. We should find a yard sale nearby. That way, if we buy something, we
don’t have to carry it very far.
M: Good point.
W: Maybe I’ll invite my brother to come, just in case. He’s strong and can help us carry
things … You know what It’s going to look great in here once you get a few nice things.
M: Yeah. Thanks.
