第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2.5分，滿分37.5分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項(xiàng)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
Going back to college is a chance to improve your work opportunities, but figuring out how to pay tuition (學(xué)費(fèi)) can be difficult for many.
What Is a Tuition Payment Plan
A tuition payment plan breaks up your college tuition bill into equal payments across the academic year. You might also see these called deferred (延期的) payment plans. Payment plans are short-term options, lasting from a few months to one year depending on what a given school offers.
To join, you’ll pay a small amount of money ($15—$200), but this is still cheaper than the money borrowed from a bank. Usually, if you borrow money from a bank, you’ll be required to pay back extra money (called interest) over years, while payment plans let you pay tuition without added costs. This makes them a smart choice for saving money.
How Do Tuition Payment Plans Work
Payment plans help fill the gap without debt (負(fù)債). Here’s how to use them:
— Plan your cost: Decide how much you can afford each pare this to your total school costs for the term or year.
— Sign up on time: When applying for classes, choose the payment plan option in the billing section.
— Pay part first: Many schools ask for 20%—50% of the total cost upfront. Save money early to cover this.
— Pick a payment method: Most plans automatically (自動地) take money from your bank account each month. Using a credit card might cost extra, so check the rules first.
If your school doesn’t offer a plan, you can also ask about third-party services that can help.
1. What is the main advantage of choosing a tuition payment plan
A. It encourages saving money at first. B. It avoids additional charges over time.
C It changes students’ spending habit. D. It allows students to join for free.
2. Which step ensures automatic monthly payments under a tuition plan
A. Signing up for the course. B. Avoiding third-party services.
C. Selecting a bank account. D. Paying 50% of the total cost upfront.
3. Where is the text probably from
A. A business school guide. B. A money-saving magazine.
C. A university application form. D. A bank service brochure.
B
I enter a windowless room in Andrew Keener’s New Malden home. CDs and books tower around a long desk covered with headphones, a laptop, and sheet music marked with colorful notes. “Welcome to my safe space,” he says. It’s here that he has made most of his 1,600 recordings, winning awards including a Grammy in 2003.
Keener’s love for music started in 1967 when, at 13, he discovered Gramophone magazine in his birthday present. Attracted by its reviews, he spent hours comparing recordings — Elgar’s Cello Concerto by du Pré versus Fournier, for example — and was soon advising his parents on their record collection.
After graduating from Edinburgh in 1975, Keener tried teaching but felt it wasn’t right for him. In order to find an opportunity to work in a record company, he came up with a crazy idea: he called Hi-Fi News & Record Review, lying about having an interview arranged with André Previn — who kindly agreed when Keener approached him in person. This became one of his first published articles.
Unhappy with teaching, Keener packed up and left Scotland for London. After being refused by a record shop due to pay, he insisted: “I don’t care what you pay me. When can I start ” Soon he was working at EMG Handmade Gramophones, meeting industry figures and learning the producer’s skill. In 1980, his break came with Hyperion Records.
His first piece — recording the Chopin tudes — was filled with trouble, ending in tears. The recording was shelved, but his mentor (導(dǎo)師) saw promise and gave him another chance. Over time, Keener developed key producer features: deep listening, musical understanding, and people skills.
Asked about AI, he jokes, “I hope I’m dead when it takes over.” His advice to future producers “Know the standard repertoire (全部技能). It’s the best way to earn an artist’s trust.”
4. What do we know about Andrew Keener’s workspace
A. It reflects his careless attitude. B. It is a functional workspace.
C. It shows Grammy awards. D. It serves as a public studio.
5. Where did Keener learn the skills of producing records
A. In Scotland. B. In a local record shop.
C. At EMG Handmade Gramophones. D. From Hi-Fi News & Record Review.
6. What does the underlined word “shelved” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Laid aside. B. Put on the market.
C. Set under glass. D. Protected properly.
7. Which best describes Keener’s attitude to AI in music production
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Confident. D. Doubtful.
C
Have you ever smelled flowers and thought, “Wow, these colors and smells just belong together” That kind of all-in-one feeling is what Integrated Information Theory (IIT，整合信息論) tries to explain. IIT is a brave (and kind of brain-mixing) idea about how we’re aware of the world, put forward by brain scientist Giulio Tononi in the early 2000s.
The basic idea Awareness happens when parts of a system — like your brain — work together and share information in a super-connected way. Think of it like a group chat: if everyone’s talking and sharing ideas, the group knows more than any one person alone. That “togetherness” is measured by something called “phi” (yes, it sounds like a superhero name). The higher the phi, the more aware the system might be.
For example, the outer part of your brain — the part that helps you think, feel, and daydream in class — is full of connections. So it probably has a high phi. But the lower parts of the brain, even though they have lots of neurons (神經(jīng)元), don’t talk to each other much. And if they’re damaged, people usually stay aware — so maybe they don’t matter as much for awareness.
Here’s where IIT gets strange: it says that anything with high phi — even a great computer chip — might be a little bit aware. For example, is your toaster (烤面包機(jī)) secretly thinking about your breakfast Not everyone is a fan. In 2023, scientist Andrea Soddu and his team tried measuring phi in real brains during sleep. They found phi dropped in two areas — possibly key spots for awareness. Still, critics (批評家) like Scott Aaronson say those drops just show normal brain changes. In fact, 124 brain scientists even signed a letter calling IIT “fake (假的) science”.
Supporters argue IIT isn’t perfect, but it’s still a real idea worth exploring. After all, even big ideas start small — just like neurons.
8. How does the author explain the basic idea of IIT
A. By quoting from a brain scientist. B. By presenting a detailed process.
C. By comparing it to a common situation. D. By showing the picture produced by IIT.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The higher phi in a damaged brain. B. The neuron differences in brain parts.
C. The function of neurons and awareness. D. The example of phi-awareness relationship.
10. What is the critics’ main argument about IIT
A. Phi reflects normal brain changes. B. It overstates the role of awareness.
C. It ignores the variety of brain structure. D. Experiments fail to include enough people.
11. Which is the best title for the text
A. How IIT Improves Brain Science
B. IIT: An Argued Theory of Awareness
C. How Brain Injuries Prove Modern Neuroscience
D. Phi: A New Tool for Measuring Computer Awareness
D
In 2020, French scientists Drs Laurence Gaume and Marion Desquilbet felt worried by a new worldwide study about disappearing insects called InsectChange. Its results showed that the number of insects on land was dropping, but water insects were doing well — which didn’t match what many studies had found. “We thought the results were too hopeful,” says Desquilbet, an environmental expert at the Toulouse School of Economics.
The InsectChange study collected information from around the world. Scientists from Germany, Russia, and the U. S. found that the number of land insects was dropping by 9% every ten years, while that of water insects was rising by 11%. This made it seem like insect populations had mixed changes.
But over 60 scientists questioned the findings. Desquilbet and Gaume studied the data closely and said they found over 530 mistakes in methods and data examining. Out of 165 sets of data, 161 had at least one problem. Issues included confusing measurement units, math errors that hid true patterns, and counting animals like shellfish (貝類), snails, and worms — which aren’t insects—especially in water data.
One clear example came from a lake in Kazakhstan, where data showed that the number of insects had increased over a period of 100 years. But 95% of the creatures recorded were foreign shellfish. Many datasets also came from human-made projects to help insects — places that don’ t show real nature. “People don’t realize the hidden problems,” Gaume warns.
The InsectChange team accepted the feedback (反饋). “Our data has errors — like all studies do,” says project leader Dr. Roel Van Klink. He argues these mistakes don’t change the main idea. A corrected copy of the study is being made.
This discussion shows a bigger problem: how scientists track the variety of living things during environmental emergencies (緊急情況). “Science is a process, not perfect answers,” says ecologist Dr. Manu Saunders. Mistakes will happen, but asking questions, discussing openly, and sharing data are key to understanding our changing planet.
12. What concerned Gaume and Desquilbet about the study
A. The lack of experts’ comments. B. The lack of different data inclusion.
C. The over-population of global insects. D. The over-positive findings about water insects.
13. Which of the following is a mistake in the InsectChange study
A. Measuring tools were misused. B. Too fewer mistakes were found.
C. Shellfish were considered as insects. D. Focuses were fixed on natural living places.
14. How did the InsectChange team respond to the doubt
A. They refused to make comments. B. They stopped the study soon.
C. They said others were in the wrong. D. They admitted errors readily.
15. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To point out the methods of scientists.
B. To support stricter insect protection laws.
C. To stress the importance of scientific research.
D. To prove the global increase of water insects.

The morning sun shone through the towering evergreens as 79-year-old Ursula Bannister made her way up the familiar path to High Rock Lookout. About half an hour later, two close friends, Jett and Troy, also made their way there. None of them would expect they would meet.
With each even breath, the smell of the earth and trees filled Ursula. She knew this path by heart — her families walked the same path every year. This yearly hike was her habit, a quiet tradition to honor her mother’s memory. As she reached the top at noon, she felt the cool wind. The view always took her breath away — endless green forests rolling into the distant skyline. She stayed longer than usual, running her fingers over the uneven rock, under where her mother had been placed so many years. “I miss you,” she whispered to the wind.
The way down went smoothly at first. Then, a misstep. Her right foot caught in an unseen gap. A sharp “crack (咔嚓聲)” rang through the silent woods as terrible pan shot up her leg. She climbed onto the rocky path, with her hands getting caught against stones.
Gasping (喘氣), she pushed herself up and stopped moving. Her foot bent (彎曲) at a strange position. A wave of pain hit her. “This can’t be happening.” Her heart beat fast like a trapped bird. She was alone. No one knew she’d come today. The realization sent icy fingers through her whole body.
“Help!” Her voice sounded pitifully small in the huge wilderness. Only the indifferent sounds of birds answered. She shouted again, louder this time. Minutes felt like forever. Darkness lengthened. The mountain air grew colder.
“What if no one comes ” Dark thoughts occurred — images of spending the night on the path, and of animals approaching her helpless form. She sought for her phone. No power. A cry escaped her mouth.
注意：1. 續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
Then — footsteps!

I enter a windowless room in Andrew Keener’s New Malden home. CDs and books tower around a long desk covered with headphones, a laptop, and sheet music marked with colorful notes. “Welcome to my safe space,” he says. It’s here that he has made most of his 1,600 recordings, winning awards including a Grammy in 2003.
Keener’s love for music started in 1967 when, at 13, he discovered Gramophone magazine in his birthday present. Attracted by its reviews, he spent hours comparing recordings — Elgar’s Cello Concerto by du Pré versus Fournier, for example — and was soon advising his parents on their record collection.
After graduating from Edinburgh in 1975, Keener tried teaching but felt it wasn’t right for him. In order to find an opportunity to work in a record company, he came up with a crazy idea: he called Hi-Fi News & Record Review, lying about having an interview arranged with André Previn — who kindly agreed when Keener approached him in person. This became one of his first published articles.
Unhappy with teaching, Keener packed up and left Scotland for London. After being refused by a record shop due to pay, he insisted: “I don’t care what you pay me. When can I start ” Soon he was working at EMG Handmade Gramophones, meeting industry figures and learning the producer’s skill. In 1980, his break came with Hyperion Records.
His first piece — recording the Chopin tudes — was filled with trouble, ending in tears. The recording was shelved, but his mentor (導(dǎo)師) saw promise and gave him another chance. Over time, Keener developed key producer features: deep listening, musical understanding, and people skills.
Asked about AI, he jokes, “I hope I’m dead when it takes over.” His advice to future producers “Know the standard repertoire (全部技能). It’s the best way to earn an artist’s trust.”
4. What do we know about Andrew Keener’s workspace
A. It reflects his careless attitude. B. It is a functional workspace.
C. It shows Grammy awards. D. It serves as a public studio.
5. Where did Keener learn the skills of producing records
A. In Scotland. B. In a local record shop.
C. At EMG Handmade Gramophones. D. From Hi-Fi News & Record Review.
6. What does the underlined word “shelved” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Laid aside. B. Put on the market.
C. Set under glass. D. Protected properly.
7. Which best describes Keener’s attitude to AI in music production
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Confident. D. Doubtful.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D
C
Have you ever smelled flowers and thought, “Wow, these colors and smells just belong together” That kind of all-in-one feeling is what Integrated Information Theory (IIT，整合信息論) tries to explain. IIT is a brave (and kind of brain-mixing) idea about how we’re aware of the world, put forward by brain scientist Giulio Tononi in the early 2000s.
The basic idea Awareness happens when parts of a system — like your brain — work together and share information in a super-connected way. Think of it like a group chat: if everyone’s talking and sharing ideas, the group knows more than any one person alone. That “togetherness” is measured by something called “phi” (yes, it sounds like a superhero name). The higher the phi, the more aware the system might be.
For example, the outer part of your brain — the part that helps you think, feel, and daydream in class — is full of connections. So it probably has a high phi. But the lower parts of the brain, even though they have lots of neurons (神經(jīng)元), don’t talk to each other much. And if they’re damaged, people usually stay aware — so maybe they don’t matter as much for awareness.
Here’s where IIT gets strange: it says that anything with high phi — even a great computer chip — might be a little bit aware. For example, is your toaster (烤面包機(jī)) secretly thinking about your breakfast Not everyone is a fan. In 2023, scientist Andrea Soddu and his team tried measuring phi in real brains during sleep. They found phi dropped in two areas — possibly key spots for awareness. Still, critics (批評家) like Scott Aaronson say those drops just show normal brain changes. In fact, 124 brain scientists even signed a letter calling IIT “fake (假的) science”.
Supporters argue IIT isn’t perfect, but it’s still a real idea worth exploring. After all, even big ideas start small — just like neurons.
8. How does the author explain the basic idea of IIT
A. By quoting from a brain scientist. B. By presenting a detailed process.
C. By comparing it to a common situation. D. By showing the picture produced by IIT.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The higher phi in a damaged brain. B. The neuron differences in brain parts.
C. The function of neurons and awareness. D. The example of phi-awareness relationship.
10. What is the critics’ main argument about IIT
A. Phi reflects normal brain changes. B. It overstates the role of awareness.
C. It ignores the variety of brain structure. D. Experiments fail to include enough people.
11. Which is the best title for the text
A. How IIT Improves Brain Science
B. IIT: An Argued Theory of Awareness
C. How Brain Injuries Prove Modern Neuroscience
D. Phi: A New Tool for Measuring Computer Awareness

In 2020, French scientists Drs Laurence Gaume and Marion Desquilbet felt worried by a new worldwide study about disappearing insects called InsectChange. Its results showed that the number of insects on land was dropping, but water insects were doing well — which didn’t match what many studies had found. “We thought the results were too hopeful,” says Desquilbet, an environmental expert at the Toulouse School of Economics.
The InsectChange study collected information from around the world. Scientists from Germany, Russia, and the U. S. found that the number of land insects was dropping by 9% every ten years, while that of water insects was rising by 11%. This made it seem like insect populations had mixed changes.
But over 60 scientists questioned the findings. Desquilbet and Gaume studied the data closely and said they found over 530 mistakes in methods and data examining. Out of 165 sets of data, 161 had at least one problem. Issues included confusing measurement units, math errors that hid true patterns, and counting animals like shellfish (貝類), snails, and worms — which aren’t insects—especially in water data.
One clear example came from a lake in Kazakhstan, where data showed that the number of insects had increased over a period of 100 years. But 95% of the creatures recorded were foreign shellfish. Many datasets also came from human-made projects to help insects — places that don’ t show real nature. “People don’t realize the hidden problems,” Gaume warns.
The InsectChange team accepted the feedback (反饋). “Our data has errors — like all studies do,” says project leader Dr. Roel Van Klink. He argues these mistakes don’t change the main idea. A corrected copy of the study is being made.
This discussion shows a bigger problem: how scientists track the variety of living things during environmental emergencies (緊急情況). “Science is a process, not perfect answers,” says ecologist Dr. Manu Saunders. Mistakes will happen, but asking questions, discussing openly, and sharing data are key to understanding our changing planet.
12. What concerned Gaume and Desquilbet about the study
A. The lack of experts’ comments. B. The lack of different data inclusion.
C. The over-population of global insects. D. The over-positive findings about water insects.
13. Which of the following is a mistake in the InsectChange study
A. Measuring tools were misused. B. Too fewer mistakes were found.
C. Shellfish were considered as insects. D. Focuses were fixed on natural living places.
14. How did the InsectChange team respond to the doubt
A. They refused to make comments. B. They stopped the study soon.
C. They said others were in the wrong. D. They admitted errors readily.
15. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To point out the methods of scientists.
B. To support stricter insect protection laws.
C. To stress the importance of scientific research.
D. To prove the global increase of water insects.

The morning sun shone through the towering evergreens as 79-year-old Ursula Bannister made her way up the familiar path to High Rock Lookout. About half an hour later, two close friends, Jett and Troy, also made their way there. None of them would expect they would meet.
With each even breath, the smell of the earth and trees filled Ursula. She knew this path by heart — her families walked the same path every year. This yearly hike was her habit, a quiet tradition to honor her mother’s memory. As she reached the top at noon, she felt the cool wind. The view always took her breath away — endless green forests rolling into the distant skyline. She stayed longer than usual, running her fingers over the uneven rock, under where her mother had been placed so many years. “I miss you,” she whispered to the wind.
The way down went smoothly at first. Then, a misstep. Her right foot caught in an unseen gap. A sharp “crack (咔嚓聲)” rang through the silent woods as terrible pan shot up her leg. She climbed onto the rocky path, with her hands getting caught against stones.
Gasping (喘氣), she pushed herself up and stopped moving. Her foot bent (彎曲) at a strange position. A wave of pain hit her. “This can’t be happening.” Her heart beat fast like a trapped bird. She was alone. No one knew she’d come today. The realization sent icy fingers through her whole body.
“Help!” Her voice sounded pitifully small in the huge wilderness. Only the indifferent sounds of birds answered. She shouted again, louder this time. Minutes felt like forever. Darkness lengthened. The mountain air grew colder.
“What if no one comes ” Dark thoughts occurred — images of spending the night on the path, and of animals approaching her helpless form. She sought for her phone. No power. A cry escaped her mouth.
注意：1. 續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
Then — footsteps!

【答案】參考范文
Then— footsteps! Two figures appeared through the trees. “Ma’am ” A young man’s voice, full of concern. Ursula looked up through tear-filled vision at two young faces — one in cowboy boots, and the other wearing a baseball cap. The taller one, Troy, got down beside her. When he saw her injury, his eyes widened. “We need to get you down,” he said firmly. She wanted to protest — the path was too steep and too dangerous. But the alternative was also unthinkable. They needed more helping hands.
Jett and Troy called more hikers, and they soon appeared. A couple fixed her leg with simple supports, a stranger who gave Troy his professional hiking shoes, and Troy lifted her onto his back. Their kindness brought fresh tears to her eyes. When they finally reached the parking lot hours later, Ursula cried openly. Not just from pain, but from overwhelming gratitude. She saw the hidden connections made that day on the mountain — connections made in fear, made stronger by kindness, and kept in memory with quiet respect.
