第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)

A
In today’s global trade, product safety is extremely important. Therefore, labels on products help consumers make informed choices.
The primary function of these marks is to ensure the safety of users and property. For instance, electrical equipment sold in the European Union must carry the “CE” mark. This sign proves that the product meets all relevant EU standards. Unlike an official approval, it is based on the company’s own evaluation. In contrast, the Chinese “CCC” mark requires testing by an official organization, and a certificate must be obtained. Products without the “CCC” mark cannot be sold in China.
Other marks are also important. The French “FR” sign instructs consumers to separate packaging for recycling. The “RoHS” mark shows a product limits harmful materials under EU rules, but as it is merely one part of the CE standard, it does not ensure full compliance (遵守) . Codes like “SKC/SKU” are simply used by companies to manage their product storage. Most importantly, products must have clear safety warnings on their labels, or they will be banned from the market.
Below is a product label:
▲WARNING To avoid danger of choke, keep this plastic bag away from babies and children. Do not use it in beds, carriages or playpens.
▲WARNING This product contains a button cell or coin battery. A swallowed button cell or coin battery can cause Internal Chemical Burns. Battery liquid is poisonous and can cause dizziness and other serious symptoms.
21. Which mark is required for a camera to be sold in Europe
A. FR. B. SKC. C. RoHS. D. CE.
22. Which risk is least likely to occur for this product
A. Burns. B. Poisoning. C. Cuts. D. Choking.
23. What can be learned about this product according to the label
A. It restricts certain harmful substances. B. It can be opened by children alone.
C. Its packaging cannot be recycled. D. It is allowed to be sold in China.
B
For as long as I could remember, silence terrified me. Not the gentle hush of a library at midnight, but the oppressive quiet that settled over our house after my grandfather’s sudden death. He was the one who taught me to play the violin, his rough fingers guiding mine over the strings until the notes flowed like a river. After he was gone, the instrument hung mute on the wall, its wood dulled by dust and neglect.
My mother, sensing my grief, signed me up for a community music workshop. I protested, of course — how could I play without his voice in my ear, correcting my posture and humming off-key along with my practice But she insisted, and I dragged myself to the old community center every Saturday. The class was a mixed group of teens: a boy with a drum kit covered in stickers, a girl who played the flute like it was an extension of her hand, and a quiet boy named Elias who never spoke. He just sat in the corner, polishing a cello that looked older than he was.
One week, our instructor assigned us a group piece — a sad melody called Lament for a Lost Soul. The others dove in, but I froze, my fingers hovering over the violin strings. I could almost hear my grandfather’s voice, making fun of me for being too scared to play. Just then, Elias pulled out his cello and began to play. His notes were not perfect — they were rough, raw, and full of a pain I recognized instantly. I closed my eyes, lifted my violin, and joined him. The room faded away; the only things that mattered were the music, the ache in my chest, and the way his cello wrapped around my violin like a hug.
When we finished, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Then, Elias looked up at me and smiled — a small, shy thing-and said, “My dad died last year. Music is the only way I can talk to him.” In that moment, I realized I wasn’t alone. The silence wasn’t something to fear. It was a space — for memories, for healing, and for the kind of music that doesn’t need words to be heard.
Months later I played that same melody at the community center’s annual concert. My grandfather’s violin glowed, its wood restored to a warm amber by the stage lights. When the last note faded, the audience erupted in applause. But the sound that stayed with me wasn’t the clapping. It was the quiet, knowing smile Elias sent me from the wings.
24. The underlined phrase “oppressive quiet” in Paragraph 1 most probably refers to a kind of silence that is ________.
A. peaceful and soothing B. heavy and unbearable
C. empty and uninteresting D. gentle and relaxing
25. Why did the author resist attending the community music workshop at first
A. She had lost interest in music after her grandfather died.
B. She believed she had no talent for playing the violin without guidance.
C. She couldn’t bear to play the violin without her grandfather’s company.
D. She was embarrassed to play with a group of teens who were better than her.
26. What can we infer about Elias from the passage
A. He was a mute boy who could only communicate through music.
B. He played the cello to express his grief over his father’s death.
C. He was the most experienced musician in the community workshop.
D. He signed up for the workshop to help the author overcome her fear.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. The Violin That connected Two hearts
B. How Music Healed a Broken Heart
C A Community Workshop Full of Surprises
D. The Power of Silence and Music
C
People may say they prefer a short story written by a human over one composed by artificial intelligence, yet most still invest the same amount of time and money reading both stories regardless of whether it is labeled as AI-generated. That was the main finding of a study we conducted recently to test whether this preference of humans over AI actually translates into consumer behavior.
To investigate, we asked ChatGPT 4 to generate a short story in the style of the famous fiction author Jason Brown. We then recruited over 650 people and offered them $3.50 to read and assess the AI-generated story. Only half the participants were told that the story was written by AI, while the other half was misled into believing it was the work of Jason Brown. After reading the first half of the AI-generated story, participants were asked to rate the quality of the work along various dimensions, such as whether they found it predictable, emotionally engaging, evocative and so on. We also measured participants' willingness to pay in order to read to the end of the story in two ways: how much study compensation they'd be willing to give up, and how much time they'd agree to spend transcribing (抄录) some text we gave them.
So, were there differences between the two groups
To begin with, the group that knew the story was AI-generated had a much more negative assessment of the work. Such results are largely in keeping with an emerging but growing body of research that shows bias against AI in areas like visual art, music and poetry. Nevertheless, participants were ready to spend the same amount of money and time to finish reading the story whether or not it was labeled as AI. When asked afterward, almost 40% of participants said they would have paid less if the same story was written by AI versus a human, highlighting that many are not aware of the discrepancy between their subjective assessments and actual choices.
Attitudes toward AI are still forming. Future research could investigate whether there will be a backlash (抵制) against AI-generated creative works. A related question is whether the market will divide, where some consumers will be willing to pay more based on the process of creation, while others may be interested only in the product.
28. What is the main finding of the study
A. Human authors will soon be replaced by AI.
B. AI-generated stories are more creative than human ones.
C. Labeling stories as AI-generated affects readers' choices.
D. AI-generated stories are received despite people's preference.
29. How was the study conducted
A. By analyzing causes. B. By sampling randomly.
C. By making comparison. D. By observing constantly.
30. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” probably mean
A. Error. B. Agreement. C. Mismatch. D. Calculation.
31. What will future research probably focus on
A. Exploring customer preferences.
B. Developing AI's storytelling ability.
C. Removing bias against AI creativity.
D. Comparing AI and human writing styles.
D
The burning of coal may be falling out of favor as a means of generating heat and electricity, but that doesn’t mean it no longer has valuable uses. The team of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is using coal for a new economy.
The project is led by Associate Professor Andrea Fratalocchi. While reading about challenges of ending the use of coal in power generation, Fratalocchi was struck by a novel possible use for coal. “Why don’t we use coal for seawater desalination (脱盐) ” Fratalocchi recalls, still excited. Capable of taking in sunlight, the black mineral adds to the list of substances in dark colors serving the purpose, which the team is on a long-standing hunt for.
Fralalocchi and his team began to explore the use of a material known as carbonized compressed powder (压缩粉末), also CCP, which is created by breaking coal into powder, and then pressing that powder back into a solid that has more tiny holes—it can also be made into a desired shape. The team mixed CCP with natural cotton fibers, producing a block which was then placed within a seawater-containing container, with its bottom touching water surface. While sunlight heated the black surface of the block, the inside fibers helped water flow in and through the block from the bottom. When that liquid water reached the hot surface, it turned into steam which rose and condensed (冷凝) on the inside of a specially shaped cover. That condensation then flew down the cover and was collected as fresh, drinkable water. The seawater’s salt content remained behind within the CCP. A simple wash was enough to remove most of it, so the material could be reused multiple times.
KAUST has partnered with the Dutch start-up PERA Complexity to promote the technology. The material will see its first use in a pilot plant in Brazil. “CCP is abundant in nature and reasonable to use, besides being lightweight and highly changeable,” says team member Marcella Bonifazi. “The device’s desalination rate per unit of raw material is two to three times higher than that of any other solar desalination system, but it produces fresh water at around one-third the expense of current state-of-the-art technologies.”
32. What has Fratalocchi’s team been seeking for
A. Fibers functioning well with CCP.
B. Green ways to desalinate seawater.
C. New industrial applications of coal.
D. Dark-colored materials for desalination.
33. How did the seawater get into the CCP block
A. Through the tiny holes. B. Through CCP.
C. Through cotton fibers. D. Through a special cover.
34. Which feature of CCP does Marcella Bonifazi stress
A. Being eco-friendly. B. Being low-cost.
C. Being efficient. D. Being flexible.
35. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Drinkable water will be got from the sea.
B. CCP is expected to be in real-life use soon.
C. Coal finds new use in desalination technology.
D. Scientists have made a breakthrough in desalination.

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。
Early 2025 was a tough time for Taylor MacMahon. The 21-year-old college student was struggling with some intense anxiety so she decided to seek help from a doctor. ____36____ “He literally told me to go touch grass.” she recalls. MacMahon was skeptical at first, but she was surprised to discover how well — and quickly — it worked. MacMahon's experience matches a growing trend in medicine: doctors prescribing time in nature to their patients. Scott Kaiser, is one of these doctors. Here are some common ways that he is using the great outdoors to improve their patients' health.
____37____ Dr. Kaiser advises walking mindfully through nature while focusing on what you can see, smell, hear, touch and even taste. To take it to the next level, head to a nature preserve, forest, botanical garden, mountain or lake and engage in “forest bathing”.
Other simple prescriptions include gardening, hiking, biking, swimming or picnicking. ____38____ And if active pursuits feel like too much, even just sitting outdoors on your balcony or on a park bench will bring benefits.
Dr. Kaiser emphasizes that nature prescriptions are adaptable. “It's about finding what works for each person. For instance, I once used whale-watching as a prescription for one patient because they loved being on the ocean,” says Dr. Kaiser. “____39____ Mine is sitting on the beach or riding waves.”
Dr. Kaiser puts it like this: When you feel so overwhelmed with your life that you feel like you can't fit one more thing in, that's exactly when you need to write your own nature prescription. You'll immediately be happier, healthier and, yes, more productive in the rest of your life. ____40____
A. It's worth it.
B. The options are almost limitless.
C. Sensory walks are an easy way to get started.
D. Nature has a profound impact on healthy aging.

The Robotics Challenge
I had always enjoyed working with machines, so when my teacher announced a robot-building contest, Iimmediately raised my hand to join. The task was to create a robot that could follow a black line on the floor and pick up small objects along the way. The winning team would represent our school in the city-wide competition — a chance I didn’t want to miss.
My teammates were Alex, who loved computers, and Mia, who was good at fixing things. At our first meeting in the science classroom, Alex kept typing on his laptop while saying things like “We need better sensors” and “The code must be perfect.” Mia sat quietly drawing detailed pictures of how the robot should look, but didn’t want to start building yet. After three long hours, we just talked and didn’t make anything.
Over the next week, I tried my best to help. I stayed after school reading books about robots and writing down possible solutions in my notebook. When I excitedly showed Alex my simplest idea, he barely looked up from his computer screen. “That won’t work,” he muttered (低声嘟囔). “We need a more complex program.” Mia, surrounded by metal parts and tools, just shook her head when I asked when we could build something. “Not yet,” she said, “the design isn’t ready.”
Feeling very anxious, I made up my mind to handle everything on my own. That night, I stayed up late, working hard to build the robot by myself. However, despite all my efforts, the result was far from satisfactory — wheels that couldn’t go straight, arms that couldn’t grasp anything. I was exhausted and discouraged. My dad noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” he gently reminded me. “Alex and Mia have talents that can make this project shine. Don’t let them get stuck on perfection at the beginning. Get them to help you with the practical problems first.”

【原文】W: Now, let’s welcome Martin Middleton. So, Martin, you’ve been to almost every corner of the earth in search of material to produce your wildlife programs. Where did this love of adventure come from
M: Well, I was fascinated by travel literature when I was a child. Then I started my career in television. However, I didn’t travel to make a wildlife program at that time. I just went along and filmed at the local zoo. When I said that I’d like to go and film in Africa, my leader, Mike, just laughed at me.
W: And, did you go to Africa
M: No! But I eventually got him to allow me to go to Borneo then. So a cameraman and I went off for four months, filming wherever we saw something interesting. We bought a boat, rowed it upriver for ten days and ended up in a traditional longhouse.
W: Wow. So Martin, where do people like you who travel abroad for work go on holiday
M: Well, I ...

第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
A
In today’s global trade, product safety is extremely important. Therefore, labels on products help consumers make informed choices.
The primary function of these marks is to ensure the safety of users and property. For instance, electrical equipment sold in the European Union must carry the “CE” mark. This sign proves that the product meets all relevant EU standards. Unlike an official approval, it is based on the company’s own evaluation. In contrast, the Chinese “CCC” mark requires testing by an official organization, and a certificate must be obtained. Products without the “CCC” mark cannot be sold in China.
Other marks are also important. The French “FR” sign instructs consumers to separate packaging for recycling. The “RoHS” mark shows a product limits harmful materials under EU rules, but as it is merely one part of the CE standard, it does not ensure full compliance (遵守) . Codes like “SKC/SKU” are simply used by companies to manage their product storage. Most importantly, products must have clear safety warnings on their labels, or they will be banned from the market.
Below is a product label:
▲WARNING To avoid danger of choke, keep this plastic bag away from babies and children. Do not use it in beds, carriages or playpens.
▲WARNING This product contains a button cell or coin battery. A swallowed button cell or coin battery can cause Internal Chemical Burns. Battery liquid is poisonous and can cause dizziness and other serious symptoms.
21. Which mark is required for a camera to be sold in Europe
A. FR. B. SKC. C. RoHS. D. CE.
22. Which risk is least likely to occur for this product
A. Burns. B. Poisoning. C. Cuts. D. Choking.
23. What can be learned about this product according to the label
A. It restricts certain harmful substances. B. It can be opened by children alone.
C Its packaging cannot be recycled. D. It is allowed to be sold in China.
【答案】21. D 22. C 23. A
【解析】

A swallowed button cell or coin battery can cause Internal Chemical Burns. Battery liquid is poisonous and can cause dizziness and other serious symptoms. (本产品含有纽扣电池。吞下纽扣电池可能导致体内化学灼伤。电池液有毒，可能引发头晕及其他严重症状)”可知，提到了窒息风险（Choking）、化学灼伤（Burns）和中毒（Poisoning），但没有提到割伤（Cuts）相关的风险。故选C。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The “RoHS” mark shows a product limits harmful materials under EU rules (RoHS标识表明该产品按照欧盟法规限制了有害物质使用)”及标签上的RoHS标识可知，该产品限制了某些有害物质的使用。故选A。
B
For as long as I could remember, silence terrified me. Not the gentle hush of a library at midnight, but the oppressive quiet that settled over our house after my grandfather’s sudden death. He was the one who taught me to play the violin, his rough fingers guiding mine over the strings until the notes flowed like a river. After he was gone, the instrument hung mute on the wall, its wood dulled by dust and neglect.
My mother, sensing my grief, signed me up for a community music workshop. I protested, of course — how could I play without his voice in my ear, correcting my posture and humming off-key along with my practice But she insisted, and I dragged myself to the old community center every Saturday. The class was a mixed group of teens: a boy with a drum kit covered in stickers, a girl who played the flute like it was an extension of her hand, and a quiet boy named Elias who never spoke. He just sat in the corner, polishing a cello that looked older than he was.
One week, our instructor assigned us a group piece — a sad melody called Lament for a Lost Soul. The others dove in, but I froze, my fingers hovering over the violin strings. I could almost hear my grandfather’s voice, making fun of me for being too scared to play. Just then, Elias pulled out his cello and began to play. His notes were not perfect — they were rough, raw, and full of a pain I recognized instantly. I closed my eyes, lifted my violin, and joined him. The room faded away; the only things that mattered were the music, the ache in my chest, and the way his cello wrapped around my violin like a hug.
When we finished, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Then, Elias looked up at me and smiled — a small, shy thing-and said, “My dad died last year. Music is the only way I can talk to him.” In that moment, I realized I wasn’t alone. The silence wasn’t something to fear. It was a space — for memories, for healing, and for the kind of music that doesn’t need words to be heard.
Months later, I played that same melody at the community center’s annual concert. My grandfather’s violin glowed, its wood restored to a warm amber by the stage lights. When the last note faded, the audience erupted in applause. But the sound that stayed with me wasn’t the clapping. It was the quiet, knowing smile Elias sent me from the wings.
24. The underlined phrase “oppressive quiet” in Paragraph 1 most probably refers to a kind of silence that is ________.
A. peaceful and soothing B. heavy and unbearable
C. empty and uninteresting D. gentle and relaxing
25. Why did the author resist attending the community music workshop at first
A. She had lost interest in music after her grandfather died.
B. She believed she had no talent for playing the violin without guidance.
C. She couldn’t bear to play the violin without her grandfather’s company.
D. She was embarrassed to play with a group of teens who were better than her.
26. What can we infer about Elias from the passage
A. He was a mute boy who could only communicate through music.
B. He played the cello to express his grief over his father’s death.
C. He was the most experienced musician in the community workshop.
D. He signed up for the workshop to help the author overcome her fear.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. The Violin That connected Two hearts
B. How Music Healed a Broken Heart
C. A Community Workshop Full of Surprises
D. The Power of Silence and Music
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了祖父去世后，作者陷入悲痛，不愿再拉小提琴，母亲让作者参加社区音乐工作坊，在那里作者遇到同样失去父亲的伊莱亚斯，二人以乐相融治愈彼此，作者终重拾小提琴的故事。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Not the gentle hush of a library at midnight, but the oppressive quiet that settled over our house after my grandfather’s sudden death.(不是午夜图书馆那种轻柔的安静，而是祖父突然去世后笼罩在我们家的那种oppressive quiet。)”可知，祖父突然去世后笼罩在家中的是令人窒息的沉寂，oppressive quiet指的是一种沉重且难以忍受的寂静。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“My mother, sensing my grief, signed me up for a community music workshop. I protested, of course-how could I play without his voice in my ear, correcting my posture and humming off-key along with my practice (母亲察觉到我的悲伤，为我报名了社区的音乐工坊。我自然百般抗拒 —— 没有他在耳边叮嘱，纠正我的姿势，伴着我的练习跑调哼唱，我怎能再拉起琴来？)”可知，作者一开始抗拒参加社区音乐工作坊是因为她无法忍受在没有祖父陪伴的情况下拉小提琴。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“His notes were not perfect-they were rough, raw, and full of a pain I recognized instantly.(他的音符并不完美 —— 粗糙、质朴，却充满了我一下子就能体会到的痛苦。)”以及第四段中“Then, Elias looked up at me and smiled — a small, shy thing-and said, “My dad died last year. Music is the only way I can talk to him.”(而后，伊莱亚斯抬眸看向我，露出一抹腼腆的浅笑，说道：“我爸爸去年走了，音乐是我能与他对话的唯一方式。”)”可知，以利亚斯拉大提琴是为了表达他对父亲去世的悲痛。故选B。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第四段中“The silence wasn’t something to fear. It was a space — for memories, for healing, and for the kind of music that doesn’t need words to be heard.(寂静并非值得畏惧的东西，它是一方天地 —— 承载回忆，治愈心灵，也让那些无需言语便能被听见的音乐在此流淌。)”可知，文章主要讲述了祖父去世后，作者陷入悲痛，不愿再拉小提琴，母亲让作者参加社区音乐工作坊，在那里作者遇到同样失去父亲的伊莱亚斯，二人以乐相融治愈彼此，作者终重拾小提琴的故事，即文章核心为：寂静的力量与音乐的治愈作用。故选D。
C
People may say they prefer a short story written by a human over one composed by artificial intelligence, yet most still invest the same amount of time and money reading both stories regardless of whether it is labeled as AI-generated. That was the main finding of a study we conducted recently to test whether this preference of humans over AI actually translates into consumer behavior.
To investigate, we asked ChatGPT 4 to generate a short story in the style of the famous fiction author Jason Brown. We then recruited over 650 people and offered them $3.50 to read and assess the AI-generated story. Only half the participants were told that the story was written by AI, while the other half was misled into believing it was the work of Jason Brown. After reading the first half of the AI-generated story, participants were asked to rate the quality of the work along various dimensions, such as whether they found it predictable, emotionally engaging, evocative and so on. We also measured participants' willingness to pay in order to read to the end of the story in two ways: how much study compensation they'd be willing to give up, and how much time they'd agree to spend transcribing (抄录) some text we gave them.
So, were there differences between the two groups
To begin with, the group that knew the story was AI-generated had a much more negative assessment of the work. Such results are largely in keeping with an emerging but growing body of research that shows bias against AI in areas like visual art, music and poetry. Nevertheless, participants were ready to spend the same amount of money and time to finish reading the story whether or not it was labeled as AI. When asked afterward, almost 40% of participants said they would have paid less if the same story was written by AI versus a human, highlighting that many are not aware of the discrepancy between their subjective assessments and actual choices.
Attitudes toward AI are still forming. Future research could investigate whether there will be a backlash (抵制) against AI-generated creative works. A related question is whether the market will divide, where some consumers will be willing to pay more based on the process of creation, while others may be interested only in the product.
28. What is the main finding of the study
A. Human authors will soon be replaced by AI.
B. AI-generated stories are more creative than human ones.
C. Labeling stories as AI-generated affects readers' choices.
D. AI-generated stories are received despite people's preference.
29. How was the study conducted
A. By analyzing causes. B. By sampling randomly.
C. By making comparison. D. By observing constantly.
30. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” probably mean
A. Error. B. Agreement. C. Mismatch. D. Calculation.
31 What will future research probably focus on
A. Exploring customer preferences.
B. Developing AI's storytelling ability.
C. Removing bias against AI creativity.
D. Comparing AI and human writing styles.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于人们对人工智能创作故事的偏好与实际消费行为之间关系的研究，研究发现尽管人们声称更喜欢人类创作的故事，但对人工智能创作的故事也同样愿意投入时间和金钱去阅读，文章还提及未来研究可能聚焦的方向。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“People may say they prefer a short story written by a human over one composed by artificial intelligence, yet most still invest the same amount of time and money reading both stories regardless of whether it is labeled as AI-generated.(人们可能会说，比起人工智能创作的短篇小说，他们更喜欢人类创作的，但大多数人仍然会投入相同的时间和金钱去阅读这两种故事，无论其是否被标注为人工智能生成)”可知，研究的主要发现是尽管人们有偏好，但人工智能生成的故事仍被接受。故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Only half the participants were told that the story was written by AI, while the other half was misled into believing it was the work of Jason Brown.(只有一半的参与者被告知这个故事是由人工智能创作的，而另一半则被误导认为这是杰森·布朗的作品)”以及后文对两组参与者阅读故事后的评价和行为的对比可知，该研究是通过对比的方式进行的。故选C项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“When asked afterward, almost 40% of participants said they would have paid less if the same story was written by AI versus a human, highlighting that many are not aware of the discrepancy between their subjective assessments and actual choices.(事后被问及此事时，近40%的参与者表示，相较于人类创作的同一故事，若该故事由人工智能创作，他们愿意支付的费用会更低。这凸显出许多人并未意识到自己的主观评价与实际选择之间存在discrepancy)”以及前文提到人们对标注为人工智能创作的故事评价更低，但仍愿意投入相同时间和金钱阅读。由此可知，此处指的是他们主观评价和实际选择之间的不一致，划线词discrepancy与mismatch“不匹配，不协调”意思接近。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Future research could investigate whether there will be a backlash (抵制) against AI-generated creative works. A related question is whether the market will divide, where some consumers will be willing to pay more based on the process of creation, while others may be interested only in the product.(未来研究可以调查是否会对人工智能生成的创意作品产生抵制。一个相关的问题是市场是否会分化，一些消费者是否会根据创作过程愿意支付更多费用，而另一些消费者可能只对产品感兴趣)”可推知，未来研究可能会聚焦于探索消费者偏好。故选A项。
D
The burning of coal may be falling out of favor as a means of generating heat and electricity, but that doesn’t mean it no longer has valuable uses. The team of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is using coal for a new economy.
The project is led by Associate Professor Andrea Fratalocchi. While reading about challenges of ending the use of coal in power generation, Fratalocchi was struck by a novel possible use for coal. “Why don’t we use coal for seawater desalination (脱盐) ” Fratalocchi recalls, still excited. Capable of taking in sunlight, the black mineral adds to the list of substances in dark colors serving the purpose, which the team is on a long-standing hunt for.
Fralalocchi and his team began to explore the use of a material known as carbonized compressed powder (压缩粉末), also CCP, which is created by breaking coal into powder, and then pressing that powder back into a solid that has more tiny holes—it can also be made into a desired shape. The team mixed CCP with natural cotton fibers, producing a block which was then placed within a seawater-containing container, with its bottom touching water surface. While sunlight heated the black surface of the block, the inside fibers helped water flow in and through the block from the bottom. When that liquid water reached the hot surface, it turned into steam which rose and condensed (冷凝) on the inside of a specially shaped cover. That condensation then flew down the cover and was collected as fresh, drinkable water. The seawater’s salt content remained behind within the CCP. A simple wash was enough to remove most of it, so the material could be reused multiple times.
KAUST has partnered with the Dutch start-up PERA Complexity to promote the technology. The material will see its first use in a pilot plant in Brazil. “CCP is abundant in nature and reasonable to use, besides being lightweight and highly changeable,” says team member Marcella Bonifazi. “The device’s desalination rate per unit of raw material is two to three times higher than that of any other solar desalination system, but it produces fresh water at around one-third the expense of current state-of-the-art technologies.”
32. What has Fratalocchi’s team been seeking for
A. Fibers functioning well with CCP.
B. Green ways to desalinate seawater.
C. New industrial applications of coal.
D. Dark-colored materials for desalination.
33. How did the seawater get into the CCP block
A. Through the tiny holes. B. Through CCP.
C. Through cotton fibers. D. Through a special cover.
34. Which feature of CCP does Marcella Bonifazi stress
A. Being eco-friendly. B. Being low-cost.
C. Being efficient. D. Being flexible.
35. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Drinkable water will be got from the sea.
B. CCP is expected to be in real-life use soon.
C. Coal finds new use in desalination technology.
D. Scientists have made a breakthrough in desalination.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. C

【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The team mixed CCP with natural cotton fibers, producing a block which was then placed within a seawater-containing container, with its bottom touching water surface. While sunlight heated the black surface of the block, the inside fibers helped water flow in and through the block from the bottom. (该团队将CCP与天然棉纤维混合，制成一块块，然后放置在一个含有海水的容器中，其底部接触水面。当阳光加热块的黑色表面时，内部纤维帮助水从底部流入并穿过块状物)”可知，海水需要经过一个特别的纤维材料过滤，进入容器。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的““CCP is abundant in nature and reasonable to use, besides being lightweight and highly changeable,” says team member Marcella Bonifazi. “The device’s desalination rate per unit of raw material is two to three times higher than that of any other solar desalination system, but it produces fresh water at around one-third the expense of current state-of-the-art technologies.”(“CCP的性质丰富，使用合理，除了轻量级和高度多变，”团队成员Marcella Bonifazi说。“该装置每单位原料的脱盐率比任何其他太阳能脱盐系统高两到三倍，但它生产淡水的成本约为目前最先进技术的三分之一。”)”可知，材料在自然可以轻易获取，但是成本是现有方法的三分之一，可见强调的是低成本。故选B。
【35题详解】

Early 2025 was a tough time for Taylor MacMahon. The 21-year-old college student was struggling with some intense anxiety so she decided to seek help from a doctor. ____36____ “He literally told me to go touch grass.” she recalls. MacMahon was skeptical at first, but she was surprised to discover how well — and quickly — it worked. MacMahon's experience matches a growing trend in medicine: doctors prescribing time in nature to their patients. Scott Kaiser, is one of these doctors. Here are some common ways that he is using the great outdoors to improve their patients' health.
____37____ Dr. Kaiser advises walking mindfully through nature while focusing on what you can see, smell, hear, touch and even taste. To take it to the next level, head to a nature preserve, forest, botanical garden, mountain or lake and engage in “forest bathing”.
Other simple prescriptions include gardening, hiking, biking, swimming or picnicking. ____38____ And if active pursuits feel like too much, even just sitting outdoors on your balcony or on a park bench will bring benefits.
Dr. Kaiser emphasizes that nature prescriptions are adaptable. “It's about finding what works for each person. For instance, I once used whale-watching as a prescription for one patient because they loved being on the ocean,” says Dr. Kaiser. “____39____ Mine is sitting on the beach or riding waves.”
Dr. Kaiser puts it like this: When you feel so overwhelmed with your life that you feel like you can't fit one more thing in, that's exactly when you need to write your own nature prescription. You'll immediately be happier, healthier and, yes, more productive in the rest of your life. ____40____
A. It's worth it.
B. The options are almost limitless.
C. Sensory walks are an easy way to get started.
D. Nature has a profound impact on healthy aging.
E. But the recommended treatment was much of a surprise.

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 Robotics Challenge
I had always enjoyed working with machines, so when my teacher announced a robot-building contest, Iimmediately raised my hand to join. The task was to create a robot that could follow a black line on the floor and pick up small objects along the way. The winning team would represent our school in the city-wide competition — a chance I didn’t want to miss.
My teammates were Alex, who loved computers, and Mia, who was good at fixing things. At our first meeting in the science classroom, Alex kept typing on his laptop while saying things like “We need better sensors” and “The code must be perfect.” Mia sat quietly drawing detailed pictures of how the robot should look, but didn’t want to start building yet. After three long hours, we just talked and didn’t make anything.
Over the next week, I tried my best to help. I stayed after school reading books about robots and writing down possible solutions in my notebook. When I excitedly showed Alex my simplest idea, he barely looked up from his computer screen. “That won’t work,” he muttered (低声嘟囔). “We need a more complex program.” Mia, surrounded by metal parts and tools, just shook her head when I asked when we could build something. “Not yet,” she said, “the design isn’t ready.”
Feeling very anxious, I made up my mind to handle everything on my own. That night, I stayed up late, working hard to build the robot by myself. However, despite all my efforts, the result was far from satisfactory — wheels that couldn’t go straight, arms that couldn’t grasp anything. I was exhausted and discouraged. My dad noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” he gently reminded me. “Alex and Mia have talents that can make this project shine. Don’t let them get stuck on perfection at the beginning. Get them to help you with the practical problems first.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
With only three days left, I knew I had to do something. The next morning, I gathered Alex and Mia. I told Alex to work on the robot’s code for straight movement and Mia to build strong arms for grabbing. Looking at both of them, I added, “Let’s finish it first, then perfect it later.” To my relief, they finally agreed. Alex focused on the program, and Mia worked on the arms. I helped test each part, guiding the robot along the line until, by dusk, it completed the course. We high-fived, exhausted but hopeful. Then, we worked hard to make it even better.
On competition day, the gym was busy as teams set up their robots. When our turn came, Alex turned on the robot with shaking hands. It hesitated, then rolled smoothly, following the black line. At the first station, its arm picked up a block perfectly. Cheers erupted as it went through every turn without mistakes. When it crossed the finish line, even the judges clapped. Mia jumped in joy, and Alex finally smiled. “We did it!” he yelled. As we hugged, I felt a surge of pride — not just in our robot, but in how far we’d come by finally working as one.
