Hanley-Dafe’s third ffering, fllwing Stress Wisely, makes an inspiring case fr the pwer f hpe. Drawing n her experience as an educatr and wellness schlar “t cultivate (培养) a hpe practice,” Hanley-Dafe rts her argument in the deep effect that a lack f hpe — r hpelessness — can have n peple, describing that state as like “being trapped in a rm withut drs r windws.”
Her perspective is nt limited t the “internal battle” f the individual; she demnstrates the urgent rle that hpe plays in sciety, “ffering us purpse when things fall apart. ” Hpe is tied, here, t resiliency (韧性), which is “abut grwing, learning, and unlearning hw t shw up” — all hpeful acts. Hanley-Dafe guides readers t mve frm “understanding hpe t embdying it” with the framewrk f her fur-element “hpe blcks” mdel, an riginal, intuitive (直觉的) “battle bard t help yu cntinuusly shw up with hpe. ”
Hanley-Dafe never shies away frm the pressing issues that can aruse hpelessness, such as the climate crisis, and she demnstrates hw hpe has always fueled mvements fr change. Hwever, at times she seems t dare readers t turn away frm her hpe, as in a stry abut encuraging a child’s dream f playing in the NBA. That mment prves cmplex, especially when anther child cmplains, “If that kid’s dream cmes true, mine wn’t.” Hanley-Dafe builds this int a revealing lessn: in a wrld damaged by the lack f resurces and an “us-vs-them mentality,” many believe that “if smething gd happened t smene else, there wn’t be any gd left ver fr thers.”
Written with grace and pwer, I Hpe S encurages readers t grw past such desperate beliefs. Hanley-Dafe writes with heartening insight abut resiliency and ffers clear, flexible guidance fr finding ways t be mre hpeful. What makes the bk stand ut, thugh, is its riginal thinking and an infectius spirit f — what else? — Hpe.
24. What is the basis f Hanley-Dafe’s viewpint?
A. The successful publicatin f Stress Wisely.
B. The severe impact f lacking hpe n peple.
C. Her strng determinatin f battling hpelessness.
D. Her prfessinal backgrund in educatin and health.
25. What des Hanley-Dafe’s “hpe blcks” mdel aim t d?
A. Clarify the urgent rle f hpe in sciety.
B. Address the internal battle within every individual.
C. Explain the relatinship between hpe and resiliency.
D. Shift the fcus frm understanding hpe t practicing it.
26. What des paragraph 3 imply abut hpe?
A. It drives prgress.B. It faces challenges.
C. It ignres reality.D. It favrs the lucky.
27. What is the text?
A. A bk review.B. A research paper.C. A jurnal entry.D. A news reprt.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文，本文围绕Hanley-Dafe的新书《I Hpe S》展开，介绍书的核心观点、框架并给出了评价。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Drawing n her experience as an educatr and wellness schlar “t cultivate (培养) a hpe practice,” Hanley-Dafe rts her argument in the deep effect that a lack f hpe — r hpelessness — can have n peple, describing that state as like “being trapped in a rm withut drs r windws.” (她以自己作为教育工作者和致力于培养希望实践的健康研究学者的经历为基础，Hanley-Dafe将她的观点建立在缺乏希望（或绝望）对人们产生的深远影响之上，她将这种状态描述为“被困在一个没有门和窗的房间里。”)”可知，她的论点建立在“缺乏希望对人产生的严重影响”之上，故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Hanley-Dafe guides readers t mve frm “understanding hpe t embdying it” with the framewrk f her fur-element “hpe blcks” mdel (Hanley-Dafe通过她提出的四个元素的“希望模块”模型，引导读者从“理解希望到践行希望”)”可知，“希望模块”模型的目的是引导读者从“理解希望”转向“践行希望”，故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“and she demnstrates hw hpe has always fueled mvements fr change. (她展示了希望如何一直为变革运动提供动力。)”可知，希望驱动进步，故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Hanley-Dafe’s third ffering, fllwing Stress Wisely, makes an inspiring case fr the pwer f hpe. (Hanley-Dafe的第三部作品，继《Stress Wisely》之后，进一步阐述了希望的力量，)”和最后一段中“Written with grace and pwer, I Hpe S encurages readers t grw past such desperate beliefs. Hanley-Dafe writes with heartening insight abut resiliency and ffers clear, flexible guidance fr finding ways t be mre hpeful. What makes the bk stand ut, thugh, is its riginal thinking and an infectius spirit f — what else? — Hpe. (这部作品文笔优美、气势磅礴，它鼓励读者超越这种绝望的信念。Hanley-Dafe以令人鼓舞的洞察力书写了关于坚韧不拔的主题，并提供了清晰、灵活的指导，帮助人们找到更加充满希望的方法。不过，这本书之所以脱颖而出，是因为其独特的思考方式以及一种——还能是什么呢？——希望的感染力。)”可知，全文围绕作者Hanley-Dafe的新书《I Hpe S》展开，介绍书的核心观点、框架，最后给出评价，符合书评的特征，故选A。

Getting the mst ut f ging t galleries invlves mre than just shwing up. While a casual apprach — “I dn’t knw much abut art, but I knw what I like” — might satisfy sme, truly appreciating a painting requires a determinatin t g deeper.
Trust yur eyes. The visual arts are nt called the visual arts fr nthing. Art is made t be lked at. And when yur eyes decide whether they like smething r nt, they are drawing n the experience f a lifetime. S trust yur eyes when they whisper their first impressins. Why d s many peple lve Van Ggh’s Sunflwers? The mment yu see them, they feel uplifting, jyus, and instantly pleasurable, reminding yur eyes f the clur, md and jy f a sunny day.
Yur eyes may be the mst imprtant rgan fr lking at art, but the heart runs them a clse secnd. When we lk at a painting, we get smebdy’s message sent t us. One heart is trying t speak t anther. Take Daughters Chasing a Butterfly by Thmas Gainsbrugh fr example. The first thing t feel is, f curse, the artist’s lve fr his little girls. T my eyes, it’s entirely unmissable. The tw girls, their faces recrded with s much insider skills, are chasing a butterfly, which has landed n a prickly (有刺的) plant. When they try t grab it, they might get hurt. S a lving daddy hasn’t just painted his lve fr his daughters. He has als painted — and this is where the heart cmes in — his fears fr them.
If yu judge art by yur wn level f cmpetence r understanding, yu’re lking at art thrugh a blindfld. In Truner’s The Fighting Temeraire, the ld bat, bathed in an range and purple sunset, is packed with significance and symblism abut a lst life and the end f the rad. Just lk at the pwer, the intensity, the vlcanic brilliance f his depictin (描绘). Instead f limiting yur appreciatin t what yu like, expand it t include what many thers have liked befre yu.
Like all life’s prfund pleasures, lking at art is a cmplex business. Mre accurately, it’s a pleasure with many layers and stages. But fr the experienced art lver, the real jy is in the build-up, the delicius jurney, the awesme pay-ff.
28. What are viewers advised t d first in lking at art?
A. G ver the histry f art.B. Draw n artists’ experience.
C. Cmpare with ther artwrk.D. Rely n initial visual impressins.
29. Why is Gainsbrugh’s painting mentined in paragraph 3?
A. Lve is ppular in family-themed paintings.
B. Viewing art invlves heart-t-heart cnnectin.
C. Art is a visual recrd f an artist’s persnal life.
D. Viewers are easily struck by the skills f artists.
30. What des the authr suggest abut judging art in paragraph 4?
A. Cnsidering thers’ pinins.B. Trusting yur wn judgment.
C. Sticking t persnal taste.D. Turning t realistic wrks.
31. What is the text mainly abut?
A. Hw t better engage with art.B. Hw t read artists’ emtin.
C. Hw t better evaluate visual arts.D. Hw t analyze famus paintings.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何更深入地欣赏艺术作品。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“S trust yur eyes when they whisper their first impressins.(所以，当你的眼睛轻声传达第一印象时，要相信它们)”可知，在欣赏艺术作品时，作者建议观众首先依靠最初的视觉印象，故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When we lk at a painting, we get smebdy’s message sent t us. One heart is trying t speak t anther. Take Daughters Chasing a Butterfly by Thmas Gainsbrugh fr example.(当我们看一幅画时，我们接收到了某人传递给我们的信息。一颗心试图与另一颗心对话。以托马斯·庚斯博罗的《女儿们追逐蝴蝶》为例)”可知，提到庚斯博罗的画是为了说明欣赏艺术涉及心灵与心灵的连接，故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Instead f limiting yur appreciatin t what yu like, expand it t include what many thers have liked befre yu.(不要把你的鉴赏局限于自己喜欢的事物，而应拓宽眼界，去接纳那些在你之前就已被无数人喜爱的作品)”可知，作者建议在评判艺术时考虑他人的意见，故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Getting the mst ut f ging t galleries invlves mre than just shwing up. While a casual apprach — “I dn’t knw much abut art, but I knw what I like” — might satisfy sme, truly appreciating a painting requires a determinatin t g deeper.(想要充分享受逛美术馆的乐趣，仅仅到场是远远不够的。虽然 “我不懂艺术，但我知道自己喜欢什么” 这种随性的态度或许能让一些人感到满足，但真正欣赏一幅画作，需要有决心去看得更深)”可知，文章围绕如何更好地欣赏艺术展开，介绍了欣赏艺术的方法，如相信最初视觉印象、感受心灵连接、考虑他人意见等，A选项“Hw t better engage with art.（如何更好地欣赏艺术。）”能概括文章主要内容。故选A项。

Pwer bills are ging up in America and peple are angry. They knw whm t blame — the bsses f technlgy firms thirsting fr mre juice t fuel artificial-intelligence data centres. Hwever, the AI bm is nt chiefly t blame fr the rising csts.
Electricity prices have risen faster than inflatin (通货膨胀) in recent years (see chart). Data centres are indeed cnsuming mre pwer than befre and, as Gldman Sachs, a bank, hlds, will accunt fr nearly half f the verall demand grwth in America in the cming years. Yet even business frecasts put data centres’ share f ttal demand at nly a fifth in 2030. Tday it is less than a tenth.
A study cnducted last year shwed that data-centre lad was nt the main cause f the rate rises in the five years t 2024. It fingered grid (电网) upgrades and rising csts f pwer-generating equipment and raw materials. It is estimated that last year demand fr distributin transfrmers utran supply by 10%. There are als lng waiting lists fr essential grid-related equipment.
Many prices started ging up in early 2021, nearly tw years befre the rapid grwth AI. They are likely t keep rising fr nn-AI reasns. The Edisn Electric Institute, which represents private-sectr pwer cmpanies, predicts its members’ ttal capital spending will reach $1.1trn between 2025 and 2029. Mre than half the sum fr distributin and transmissin infrastructure (基础设施) will g n replacing ageing equipment and hardening it against extreme weather made likelier by climate change. These factrs have been ignred fr years. Nw AI prvides an excuse t help win apprval frm regulatrs t pass the cst n t cnsumers.
AI may even be lwering prices. The tech giants are already investing in their wn capacity. Micrsft has signed a lng-term deal t restart a nuclear reactr at Three Mile Island t supply its data centres. Meta has backed a handful f nuclear startups. The Wrld Resurces Institute, anther think-tank, ntes that in Nrth Dakta rising demand frm il and gas prductin, data-centre peratrs and fd-prcessrs led t large price reductins fr lcal electricity users. Definitely, if Americans want lwer electricity bills, they shuld be shuting fr mre AI, nt less.
32 Why des the authr mentin public anger in paragraph 1?
A. T highlight a scial cnflict.B. T criticize a current issue.
C. T intrduce a cmmn belief.D. T ppse an energy plicy.
33. What have mainly cntributed t the rising electricity prices in paragraphs 3 & 4?
A. AI Grwth and data demand.B. Big Tech and market shares.
C. Grid upgrades and facility csts.D. Climate change and capital spending.
34. Hw des the authr develp the last paragraph?
A. By making a cntrast.B. By prviding examples.
C. By describing a study.D. By drawing cnclusins.
35. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Hidden Csts: The Impact f Rapid AI Develpment
B. Ging Nuclear: A Ptential Slutin t Pwer Shrtage
C. Energy Refrm: Hw t Reduce Mnthly Electricity Bills
D. Beynd AI: Uncvering the Real Drivers f Rising Pwer Csts
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文，本文主要介绍美国电费上涨的主要推手不是AI，而是电网升级等其他长期被忽略的因素。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Pwer bills are ging up in America and peple are angry. They knw whm t blame — the bsses f technlgy firms thirsting fr mre juice t fuel artificial - intelligence data centres. Hwever, the AI bm is nt chiefly t blame fr the rising csts. (美国的电费正在上涨，民众对此感到愤怒。他们很清楚该把责任归咎于谁——那些渴望获得更多电力以支持人工智能数据中心的科技公司的老板们。然而，人工智能热潮并非导致成本上升的主要原因)”可知，第一段提到公众愤怒，是因为民众普遍认为AI数据中心推高了电费，作者引出这个大众的普遍看法后，再转折提出自己的相反观点。因此目的是引入大众共识，故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“It fingered grid (电网) upgrades and rising csts f pwer-generating equipment and raw materials.(该研究指出，电网升级、发电设备及原材料成本的上升是导致电价上涨的真正原因)”和第四段中“Mre than half the sum fr distributin and transmissin infrastructure (基础设施) will g n replacing ageing equipment and hardening it against extreme weather made likelier by climate change.(用于配电和输电基础设施的费用中，超过一半将用于更换老化设备以及增强其抵御气候变化导致的极端天气的能力)”可知， 第三段明确提到研究指出电价上涨的主要原因是电网升级、发电设备和原材料成本上升，第四段也补充说明大部分资本投入都用于电网设备更新，因此电价上涨的原因是电网升级和设备成本，故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“AI may even be lwering prices. The tech giants are already investing in their wn capacity. Micrsft has signed a lng-term deal t restart a nuclear reactr at Three Mile Island t supply its data centres. Meta has backed a handful f nuclear startups.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者过去固守固有喜好、生活单调空虚，后来效仿儿童尝试新事物的道理，主动参与读书、音乐、象棋等活动，收获快乐与归属感，也认识到尝试新事物意义远超健康本身。
【36题详解】
前文“I nce read that children need eight t fifteen tries t accept a new fd.( 我曾经读到过，孩子需要八到十五次尝试才能接受一种新的食物。)”提到儿童需要多次尝试才能接受新食物，后文“I decided t start small. When a friend invited me t a bk club, I resisted the instinct (本能) t dismiss it despite my lngstanding dislike f reading and went anyway.( 我决定从小事做起。当一个朋友邀请我参加一个读书俱乐部时，尽管我长期以来一直讨厌阅读，但我还是抑制住了拒绝的冲动，还是去了。)”作者开始尝试新的社交活动，G选项“Why shuldn’t the same principle apply t scial activities fr adults?( 为什么同样的原则不能适用于成年人的社交活动呢？)”将“食物接受原理”类比到成人社交活动，形成逻辑衔接。故选G项。
【37题详解】
前文“When a friend invited me t a bk club, I resisted the instinct t dismiss it despite my lngstanding dislike f reading and went anyway.( 当一个朋友邀请我参加读书俱乐部时，尽管我长期以来一直讨厌阅读，但我还是抑制住了拒绝的冲动，还是去了。)”提到作者本不喜欢阅读却参加了读书俱乐部，后文“Nw I spend mrnings reading physical bks instead f wandering aimlessly.( 现在，我早上会花时间阅读实体书籍，而不是漫无目的地闲逛。)”提到如今养成晨读习惯，此处应说明意外地喜欢上了读书俱乐部的氛围。F选项“T my surprise, I enjyed the discussin and the peple there.( 让我惊讶的是，我享受了这次讨论以及那里的每一个人。)”符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。
【38题详解】
前文“Then came music and perfrmance — all things I had previusly disregarded. (接下来是音乐和表演——这些都是我之前不屑一顾的东西。)”作者尝试此前忽视的音乐和表演，后文“Gradually, I became fascinated by the unfamiliar rhythms and mvements and felt prud f my survival in the end.( 逐渐地，我对那些陌生的节奏和动作产生了兴趣，并最终为自己的坚持感到自豪。)”“Gradually（逐渐地）”体现从生疏到适应的过程，此处应描述初期的窘迫与困惑。D选项“Initially, I was awkward and smetimes cnfused.( 起初，我感到有些笨拙和困惑。)”符合此推断，起到上下文的承上启下作用。故选D项。
【39题详解】
后文“Hwever, I stpped saying n befre I had even begun.( 然而，在我甚至还没开始之前，我就不再说“不”了。)”“Hwever”表转折，说明作者不再轻易拒绝新事物，前文应体现不会立刻爱上所有新事物的客观事实。B选项“I didn’t lve everything straight away.( 我并非一开始就喜欢上所有的东西。)”符合此推断，和下文紧密连接，符合语境。故选B项。
【40题详解】
前文“Research suggests that engaging yur curisity in new activities can help prtect against age - related cgnitive (认知的) decline.( 研究表明，对新活动保持好奇心有助于预防与年龄相关的认知能力下降。)”提到新活动利于大脑认知健康，后文“Getting utside my cmfrt zne nw gives me a rush.( 现在走出自己的舒适区让我感到兴奋不已。)”强调走出舒适区带来的精神愉悦，说明意义远超大脑健康本身。C选项“Fr me, it is far mre than brain health.( 对我而言，这远不止关乎大脑健康。)”起到上下文的承上启下作用，符合语境。故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了由中国农业科学院和49家国内外机构联合发起的国际大型科学项目“植物星球计划”。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：周三，由中国农业科学院（CAAS）与49家国内外机构联合发起的一项国际大型科学倡议——“植物星球计划”在北京正式发布。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词was presented，所以此处应用非谓语动词，An internatinal large - scale scientific initiative与launch之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词launched作后置定语，修饰An internatinal large - scale scientific initiative。故填launched。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意：周三，由中国农业科学院（CAAS）与49家国内外机构联合发起的一项国际大型科学倡议——“植物星球计划”在北京正式发布。此处修饰动词presented，应用副词fficially，意为“正式地”。故填fficially。
【58题详解】
考查连词。句意：通过整合人工智能算法和模型，它旨在解码主要陆生植物谱系的遗传蓝图，并绘制完整的植物生命树，以应对粮食安全、生物多样性保护、新药研发和可持续发展等全球挑战。decde the genetic blueprints f majr terrestrial plant lineages和map a cmplete tree f life fr plants是并列关系，所以用连词and连接。故填and。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意：该项目的首席研究员、中国农业科学院深圳农业基因组研究所的王立表示，数十亿年来，植物已经进化出了极其丰富的形态。根据a和f可知，此处应用名词investigatr，意为“研究员”，作Wang Li的同位语。故填investigatr。
【60题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：该项目的首席研究员、中国农业科学院深圳农业基因组研究所的王立表示，数十亿年来，植物已经进化出了极其丰富的形态。根据时间状语ver billins f years可知，此处强调从过去持续到现在的动作或者还可能持续下去，应用现在完成时或现在完成进行时，现在完成时结构为“have/has +过去分词”，现在完成进行时结构为“have/has been +现在分词”，主语plants是复数，所以用have evlved或have been evlving。故填have evlved/have been evlving。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意：然而，不连贯且不完整的基因组数据使得许多关键的进化关系仍未得到解决。此处修饰名词data，应用形容词discnnected，意为“不连贯的”，与incmplete并列。故填discnnected。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：王说，该倡议旨在通过对目前缺乏参考基因组的植物目和科进行采样来填补这些空白，从根本上厘清所有主要植物类群之间的进化关系和分支时间，以构建完整的植物生命树。此处为定语从句，先行词是plant rders and families，指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：王说，该倡议旨在通过对目前缺乏参考基因组的植物目和科进行采样来填补这些空白，从根本上厘清所有主要植物类群之间的进化关系和分支时间，以构建完整的植物生命树。此处应用动词不定式作目的状语，表示厘清进化关系等的目的是构建完整的植物生命树，所以用t cnstruct。故填t cnstruct。
【64题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：此外，“植物星球计划”有望提升全球生物多样性保护和碳中和的生态能力，同时为植物科学领域的重大科学挑战构建国际合作的新框架。句子陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语the Plant Planet Prject与expect之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是单数，所以用is expected。故填is expected。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意：此外，“植物星球计划”有望提升全球生物多样性保护和碳中和的生态能力，同时为植物科学领域的重大科学挑战构建国际合作的新框架。此处表示泛指“一个新框架”，new是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述 19 岁的加拿大女孩到法国艾克斯-普罗旺斯留学，因法语不好而苦恼。幸运的是，她通过广告租到房子，房东杜邦夫人和她7岁的女儿莉拉对她很好，女孩和莉拉成为好朋友。女孩得知莉拉周末将满8岁，计划为她准备惊喜生日派对，趁她们出门时在厨房开始准备。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我正忙着为派对做准备，突然听到一个男声喊道：“惊喜！””可知，第一段可描写女孩听到男人声音后转身，看到一个面带疲倦但温暖笑容的中年男人，他介绍自己是莉拉的父亲皮埃尔，因能从夜班抽出时间而来，女孩向他说明计划，两人一起布置客厅。
②由第二段首句内容“两个小时后，我和皮埃尔把一切都准备好了。”可知，第二段可描写两小时后一切准备就绪，门开后莉拉走进来，先看到五彩装饰，接着看到父亲，她惊喜地投入父亲怀抱。看到这一幕，女孩作为 “外人” 的那种冷漠感完全消散，意识到家不仅是一个地方，更是大家共享的温暖。
