ators(捕食者)likelobsterssawstrongerregrowth,suggestingMPAsboostecosystemresilience(恢复力)toclimateevents.(主要作者艾米丽·奥尔蒂斯-维拉指出：“在重大气候干扰之后，受MPA保护的海带比保护区恢复得更好。”她补充说，保护龙虾等捕食者的限制捕捞区出现了更强的再生，这表明海洋保护区提高了生态系统对气候事件的适应能力。)”可知，MPA内的海藻林，在热浪后恢复更快。故选D项。【10题详析】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Giventhewidespreadlossofmarineecosystems,sucheffectivelocalprotectionmodelsshouldbepromotedgloballytomaximizeecologicalbenefits.Wecan’tassumethesebenefitswillcontinuewithoutconsistentsupportforexpansion.(鉴于海洋生态系统的普遍丧失，应在全球范围内推广这种有效的地方保护模式，以实现生态效益最大化。如果没有持续的扩张支持，我们不能认为这些好处会持续下去。)”可知，RickStafford教授强调了海洋保护区应在全球范围内有效扩大。故选A项。【11题详析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However,theteamwarnedthatnotallMPAsperformedbetterthanprotectedareas,indicatingotherfactorsinfluencekelpresilience.TheyplantoidentifythesefactorsinfutureresearchtodeterminewhenandwhereMPAsmosteffectivelysupportkelprecovery.(然而，研究小组警告说，并非所有的海洋保护区都比保护区表现得更好，这表明还有其他因素影响着海带的恢复能力。他们计划在未来的研究中确定这些因素，以确定海洋保护区何时何地最有效地支持海带恢复。)”可推知，研究人员下一步将关注探索影响海藻恢复力的其他因素。故选C项。DSkoltechresearchershavedevelopedamathematicalmodeltoexplorememoryfunction,withfindingspublishedinScientificReportsthatcouldadvancerobotics,artificialintelligence(AI),andourunderstandingofhumanmemorystorage.Notably,thestudysuggestsanidealnumberofsensesmayexist—indicatingthathumans’fivetraditionalsensesmightnotbesufficient.Followinganearly20th-centuryresearchtradition,theteamfocusedonmodelingengrams(记忆痕迹),thebasicunitsofmemory.Anengramisascattered(分散的)setofneuronsacrossdifferentbrainregionsthatactivatetogether,eachrepresentingaconceptdefinedbyspecificfeatures.Forhumans,thesefeaturesarerelatedtosensoryexperiences:theconceptofabanana,forexample,includesitslook,smell,taste,andothersensorytraits.Inthisframework,abananabecomesafive-dimensionalobjectinthebrain’smentalspacethatholdsallstoredmemories.Engramsevolveovertime,becomingsharperormoreuncleardependingonhowoftentheyareactivatedbyexternalsensoryinput.Thisprocessmirrorshowhumanslearnandforgetthroughinteractionswiththeenvironment.“Wehavemathematicallydemonstratedthatengramstendtoevolvetowardasteadystate,”explainedstudyco-authorProfessorNikolayBrilliantovofSkoltechAI.“Aftersomeshortperiod,a‘mature’distributionofengramsemergesandcontinues.”Akeydiscoverycamewhentheteamexaminedtheultimatecapacityofconceptualspaceswithdifferentnumbersofdimensions.“Somewhatsurprisingly,wefoundthatthenumberofdistinctengramsstoredinthesteadystateisgreatestforaseven-dimensionalconceptspace,”Brilliantovnoted.Thisledtothe“sevensensesclaim”:ifeachdimensioncorrespondstoasense,sevensenseswouldmaximizememorycapacityanddeepenoverallunderstandingoftheworld.Importantly,thisnumberisstable—itdoesn’trelyonthemodel’sspecificdetails.Whiletheconclusionabouthumansensesishighlytheoretical,Brilliantovaddedthatthefindings,however,areusefulforroboticsandAItheory.AdvancingthetheoreticalmodelsofmemorywillbeinstrumentaltogainingnewinsightsintothehumanmindandcreatinghumanlikememoryinAIagents.12.Whydoestheauthormentiontheconceptofabananainparagraph2?A.Toshowfivesensoryformationsofbananas.B.Tocomparedifferentwaysofstoringmemories.C.Toexplainhowsensoryfeaturesformaconcept.D.Toshowthefive-dimensionalstructureofthebrain.13.Whatcanwelearnaboutengramsfromparagraph3andparagraph4?A.Theirmaturedistributionappearsfastbutlastsshort.B.Theygetunclearonlywithrareinternalsignalactivation.C.Aseven-dimensionalspacestoresthemostdistinctengrams.D.Theirevolutionhasnolinktohumanlearningandforgetting.14.WhatisBrilliantov’sattitudetowardthestudy’sfindings?A.Doubtful.

者认为该观点不全面的论述，为下文的展开奠定了基调。故选B。【17题详析】根据上文“Thecoveristheall-importantfirstimpression.Everythingonthatcover,frontandback,ispurposefullydesignedtopersuadeyoutobuyandreadthebook.(封面是至关重要的第一印象。封面的正反两面所呈现的一切，都是经过精心设计的，目的是为了说服你购买并阅读这本书)”可知，强调封面的重要性，结合下文“Fromthecoveryoulearnthetitleandauthor,eitherofwhichmightbeenoughtoconvinceyoutoreadit.There’salsoaplotsummaryontheback,andmaybesomereviews.Thecoverpicture,colors,andfont(字体)styleallgiveapotentialreaderanideaofwhatthebookisabout.(从封面上，你可以了解到书名和作者，这两者中的任何一个都可能足以让你决定去阅读这本书。封底上还有一段简短的故事情节概述，或许还有一些书评。封面图片、颜色和字体风格都能让潜在读者对这本书的内容有个大致的了解)”可知，下文具体列举封面提供的各类信息，是对空格处观点的详细阐释和例证。E选项“封面只是书的一部分，但它是重要的一部分”精准地概括了该段的核心思想。“onlypart”与“importantpart”的转折结构，与上文“shouldn’tonly…butdon’tignore…”的逻辑完美呼应，且“importantpart”是下文细节的总述。故选E。【18题详析】根据下文“Iwantedcolorratherthanblackandwhite,though.Iwasveryhappywiththeresult.(我想要彩色而不是黑白，并对结果很满意)”可推知，空格处需要描述一个让作者最初感到满意的、具体的封面设计决策。G选项“我要求封面设计师使用一张老照片作为封面的模型”明确交代了封面的设计灵感来源，正是这一具体行动产生了让她初期满意的“result”。选项中的“coverdesigner”也与本段首句“animpressivecover”形成词汇关联。故选G。【19题详析】根据上文“Later,though,Irealizedsomethingwasmissing.Ilikedthebluesky,theblossomsonthetrees,thecolorofthefont,butthefeeljustdidn’tscream,“Pickmeup!”(不过后来我意识到有些东西是缺失的。我喜欢那湛蓝的天空、树上的花朵、字体的颜色，但那种感觉就是没有那种“选我吧！”的强烈召唤力)”和下文“IremembertellingherthatIlikedthedesign,butsomethingwasoff.Herresultingdesignwassimilar.Thealmondtreeswerestillthere,aswasthehorseandcart.Thecolorsandfontwerebetter.ItwasnothingIcouldhavedescribed,butthenewcoverwasbreathtaking.Itwasevenafinalistinacoverdesigncompetition.(我记得曾跟她说过我喜欢这个设计，但总觉得有些地方不太对劲。她最终完成的设计与我之前说的差不多。那些杏树还在，还有那匹马和马车。色彩和字体都更好了。这东西我根本无法用言语形容，但这个新封面实在太出色了。它甚至在封面设计比赛中获得了决赛入围资格)”可知，在发现不满后，作者采取了行动。A选项“所以我另雇了一位设计师来修正这个问题。”准确描述了这一关键举措。下文的“her”正是指代这位“differentdesigner”。故选A。【20题详析】根据上文“Sowhetheryouaretoldtojudgeabookbyitscoverornot,Iknowsuchjudgingoccurs.Apotentialreaderdecideswhethertopickupabookornotbasedonthecoverinformation.(所以，无论是否有人告诉你要“以貌取人”，我知道这种判断行为确实存在。潜在的读者会根据封面的信息来决定是否拿起一本书)”可知，这是作者在结合自身经历后得出的最终结论。空格位于篇末，需要是一个总结性的句子。D选项“因此，记住封面至关重要”中的“Therefore”是强有力的总结性信号词，“thecovermatters”精准地提炼并重申了全文的中心论点，与文章开头和中间的论述形成首尾呼应，有力地升华了主题。故选D。第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Afriend’sannouncementinourgroupchataboutmovingtoNewcastlebrought____21____feelings—excitementtovisit,yetsadnessoverrareLondonmeetings.Aroundthen,anotherfriendsharedcareerupdatesabroadorphotosofunfamiliarkids.Thesemoments____22____mehowlifemovesforwardwithoutus.I____23____withfriendsdailythroughmessages,emojis,ormemes(梗图),yetitfeelshollow.Groupchats,oncelivelydigitalhallways,now____24____howin-personhangoutshavebeenreplacedbyjobs,family,andadultresponsibilities.Thateffortlessclosenessofyouthhas____25____;meetupsnowdemandweeksofplanning.Wecallgroupchatslifelines,____26____connectionsacrossdistances.Theyofferafalse____27____ofpresencethroughperiodicupdatesandphotos.Butthiscommunicationis____28____thantruefriendship—manyfinditexhausting,likeapart-timejob.Theycan’t____29____allemotionalneeds.Sometreatthemascalendars,othersastherapy;someonlyspeakinmemes;somewillneversayanythingbut_____30_____“like”acommentfromamonthago.Importantlifeevents—likejobloss,breakups,orgrief—areoftentoodifficulttoshareinthis_____31_____.Thisisn’trejectingtechnology.Groupchatshelpbutaren’t_____32_____.Truefriendshipneedsinconvenientpresence,wordsbeyondemojis,andthe_____33_____toshowupevenwhenhard.Changeispossible._____34_____one-on-onecalls.Prioritizemeetupsdespitedifficulties.Ourlovedonesliveinourphones—wemust_____35_____themoutintotherealworld.Friendship,likealllivingthings,needsairandattentiontosurvive.21.A.positive
