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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
If you decide to see the northern lights, consider heading to Canada, where they fill the sky 300 days a year in certain regions.
Yukon
With its sweeping landscapes and dramatic mountain views, Yukon is an outdoor lover’s dreamland. Take advantage of the brief window between the end of summer and first snowfall in autumn to combine outdoor activities like boating along the storied Yukon River with northern light watching.
Churchill
Home to wolves, foxes, whales, moose and snowy owls, Churchill is well known for its arctic wildlife. It also sees an average of 300 nights of northern light activity every year. With over a week in the wild, there’s a good chance you’ll spot the lights.
Nunavik
Nunavik is Quebec’s northernmost region and one of four areas in Canada. It is home to the country’s Inuit people. By day, travelers canoe or snowmobile to Vieux Fort-Chimo, a 19th-century fur trading post; hear elders tell stories of a nomadic (游牧的) way of life; and listen to traditional throat singing, or katadjak — all led by an Inuit guide. Under inky skies, the guide offers Inuit insights into the meaning of the light.
Jasper
Located in the Rocky Mountains, Jasper is home to the world’s second-largest dark sky preserve, making it one of the best — and most convenient — places to catch northern lights throughout the year.
An especially great time to visit is during the annual Jasper Dark Sky Festival in October when experienced photographers from around the world host workshops to share their best tips and astronomers explain how to interpret space weather data to determine optimal viewing time.
21．When should you go if you want to combine outdoor activities with light shows in Yukon?
A．In late spring. B．In early summer. C．In autumn. D．In winter.
22．Where can tourists have a relatively in-depth experience of Inuit culture?

As a new school year starts at Ohio University and first-year students arrive at the Scripps College of Communication, they will get to know Scott Titsworth, dean of the the Scripps College of Communication. His job includes ensuring high academic standards and overseeing (监督) student admissions and academic success. However, his favorite and important part is staying with students and assisting them in reaching their goals. “I enjoy interacting with students the most,” said Titsworth. “Seeing people grow and learn is rewarding, and I feel honored to be part of their journey.”
Titsworth’s path began in Parsons, Kansas, a small town with more than 10,000 residents. It was known as a railroad town, and many of his family members worked for the railroad. But Titsworth chose a different route — going to college to pursue his favorite career in media and communication.
Before starting to work in academia, Titsworth worked at a radio station. Eventually, Titsworth realized that he wanted to use his talents and skills to help others learn about and pursue their dreams in the field of communication.
Titsworth is a leading scholar in the area of classroom communication effectiveness. With more than 50 books, chapters, and articles published on the topic, his most recent research has explored ways in which students’ emotional experiences are related to their learning activities, including both note-taking and cognitive performance.
Over his 20 years in the Scripps College of Communication, he has held roles such as director of graduate studies and recognized the growing importance of preparing the next generation in media. He emphasizes that today, anyone can create content and share it, so training in effective communication is essential. Although he misses teaching directly, Titsworth is proud of the unique opportunities the Scripps College of Communication offers its students to prepare them for successful careers.
“Get to know people” is his advice for new students. “Your relationships will greatly influence your growth while you study here,” he said.
24. What does Titsworth value the most about his roles?
A. Ensuring campus security. B. Overseeing student admissions.
C. Setting academic standards. D. Connecting with college students.
25. Why did Titsworth choose a different career path from his family?
A. To prove his uniqueness. B. To find a well-paid career.
C. To pursue his own interest. D. To leave his hometown for a city.
26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Titsworth’s achievements. B. Titsworth’s teaching experience.
C. Titsworth’s works. D. Titsworth’s previous fields of research.
27. What does Titsworth expect new students to do?
A. Focus on their academics. B. Value their friends and family members.
C. Sharpen their social skills. D. Ignore unplanned happenings.
C
The rapid spread of AI has people wondering: Who’s most likely to embrace (接受) AI in their daily lives? Many assume it’s those who understand how AI works are most eager to adopt it. Surprisingly, our new research finds the opposite. People with less knowledge about AI are actually more open to using the technology. We call this difference in adoption tendency the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link.
AI now performs tasks we once thought only humans could do. When AI creates a piece of art, writes a heartfelt response, or plays a musical instrument, it can feel almost magical — like it’s crossing into human territory. Of course, AI doesn’t actually possess human qualities. A chatbot might generate an empathetic (同感的) response, but it doesn’t feel empathy. People with more technical knowledge about AI understand this. They know how algorithms (算法), training data, and computational models operate. This makes the technology less magical. On the other hand, those with less understanding may see AI as magical and awe-inspiring. We suggest this sense of magic makes them more open to using AI tools.
Our studies show this link is strongest for using AI tools in areas where people associate with human characteristics, like providing emotional support or counseling. When it comes to tasks that don’t cause the same sense of humanlike qualities — such as analyzing test results — the pattern flips. People with higher AI literacy are more receptive to these uses because they focus on AI’s efficiency, rather than any “magical” qualities.
Efforts to boost AI literacy might unintentionally dampen people’s enthusiasm for using AI by making it seem less magical. This creates a tricky balance between helping people understand AI and keeping them open to its adoption. To make the most of AI’s potential, businesses, educators and policymakers need to strike this balance. By understanding how perceptions of “magicalness” shape people’s openness to AI, we can help develop new AI-based products and services that take the way people view AI into account, and help them understand the benefits and risks of AI.
And ideally, this will happen without causing a loss of the admiration that inspires many people to embrace this new technology.
28. Why are less-informed people more open to AI?
A. They trust its moral standards. B. They admire the ability of AI.
C. They believe in its superior efficiency. D. They prefer its technical complexity.
29. What does the underlined word “flips” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Breaks down. B. Takes shape. C. Shows up. D. Turns over.
30. What is the tricky situation regarding AI literacy?
A. Balancing morals and capability. B. Reducing fear while ensuring safety.
C. Familiarizing without losing wonder. D. Prioritizing efficiency over magic.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards using AI?
A. Objective. B. Worried. C. Skeptical. D. Dismissive.
D
Scientists have found that eating dark chocolate appears to lower the risk of depression by fourfold. While 7.6 percent of the 13,000 people surveyed reported depressive symptoms, just 1.5 percent of the chocolate eaters did. The study also found that the people who consumed the most of any chocolate were also 57 percent less likely to report depressive symptoms.
The study is the first to examine the association with depression according to the type of chocolate consumed. The team assessed data from 13,626 adults from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
A range of other factors including height weight, marital status, education, household income, physical activity, smoking and chronic (慢性的) health problems were also taken into account to ensure the study only measured chocolate’s effect on depressive symptoms.
Then it was found that individuals who reported eating any dark chocolate in two 24-hour periods had 70 percent lower odds of reporting clinically relevant depressive symptoms in the previous two weeks than those who reported not eating chocolate at all.
Chocolate contains a number of psychoactive ingredients (精神活性成分) which produce a feeling of euphoria (狂喜) similar to that of cannabinoid(大麻素). It also contains phenylethylamine (苯乙胺), which is believed to be important for regulating people’s moods.
However, British scientists urged caution about the findings, suggesting that the decision to eat dark chocolate could be linked to other health factors. For example, people who choose dark chocolate maybe more health-conscious in general, which is known to protect against depression.
Depressed people are also more likely to crave more sugary fatty foods and so could be less likely to pick a dark alternative when choosing chocolate.
32. What is the aim of the study?
A. To find a cure for depression. B. To find out the cause of depression.
C. To research on the ingredients of chocolate. D. To study the association between depression and chocolate.
33. What is phenylethylamine?
A. Something that can make people excited. B. Something that can adjust people’s moods.
C. Something that can make people depressed. D. Something that can make people overweight.
34. What is British scientists’ attitude toward the findings?
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Cautious.
35. What are depressed people more likely to do?
A. Eat sugary fatty foods. B. Have dark chocolate.
C. Exercise outdoors. D. Be concerned about health.

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。
Steven Green was a hard-working man who worked all his life to support his family. He never finished college, so he had to take hard labor jobs around the neighborhood. He worked as a builder and a carpenter through the years. He often helped his neighbors whenever he was needed. However, as he grew older, he could no longer do these jobs. His knees grew weak, and his health condition made it difficult for him to do hard work.
Steven’s kids didn’t live in the same state as him and could only send him a small sum of money because they also led a poor life. Unfortunately, Steven experienced constant physical pain after years of hard work, and he needed to take medicine every day. The money offered by his kids was only enough for food, and his savings were small. Realizing that he needed more money, Steven decided to get a job again. He eventually found a job as a doorkeeper. At first, his salary was enough to pay for the groceries and the medicine he needed. However, due to his advanced age, he started to need more medicine, which cost a lot.
To pay the growing bills, Steven began to take items from his home to a second-hand store to get some money. One day, as he was carrying an old radio to the store, his neighbor, Ben, saw him. “Mr. Green, it’s so good to see you! How have you been?” Ben asked. “I’m doing great. I’m just selling some stuff at home that I don’t need anymore for some cash. Being weak is terrible when you’re old, so take care of yourself when you are young, alright?” he said almost jokingly. Ben nodded.
“Thanks for the tip, Mr. Green!” he said before waving goodbye. That same day, Steven was cooking dinner when he heard the doorbell ring. Not expecting anyone, he walked curiously to the door.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按以下格式作答。
Surprisingly, he saw Ben standing there with a jacket in his arms.

“Ben must have forgotten about the check in the pocket,” Steven thought.
