Recently, an elderly resident named Chen Cuilian at a nursing home in Xiamen suddenly experienced atrial fibrillation and was urgently sent to the hospital for treatment. The hospital implements a “no accompanying ward” service model, where, in addition to hospitalization fees, 【A】 Chen Cuilian spends 120 yuan daily to have caregivers provide comprehensive daily care. 【B】 Caring for hospitalized elderly individuals, if we continue to follow the previous thinking model—allowing family members and children to bear the responsibility alone—clearly becomes overwhelming. Caring for hospitalized elderly individuals requires caregivers to stay up late at night and be busy during the day, leading to insufficient rest, no one to take over, and the body easily becomes “overwhelmed.” Even if hiring a caregiver, many ordinary families face high caregiving costs. The “no accompanying ward” not only allows the elderly to receive professional care but also alleviates the burden on families, and should be vigorously promoted.
Letting professional nurses and caregivers take on caregiving responsibilities is a significant relief for families that do not have much time and energy to care for the elderly. “Let professionals do professional work” can also assist in the recovery of patients. For example, according to relevant professional standards, caregivers should possess good professional ethics and humanistic care, and master the basic knowledge and skills for caring for patients. For elderly care, they are quite adept. 【C】 At the same time, the “no accompanying ward” service also provides patients with a “benefit package”: at a price of less than 100 yuan, covered by medical insurance, it greatly relieves the stress for patients and families caught in the whirlpool of illness.
【D】 The oracle bone script form of the character “filial piety” (as shown in the figure below) depicts a child supporting or carrying an elderly person. The “no accompanying ward” injects new elements, thoughts, and models into the responsibility of respecting and loving the elderly, gradually cultivating a basic social security system for long-term care of the elderly through socialized responsibility and professional support. Implementing the “no accompanying ward” aims to ① use social measures to address urgent issues during the aging population process, ② continuously meet the diverse and differentiated health service needs of the people, ③ facilitate the early formation of a community-based, home-supported, and institutionally supported elderly care and long-term care service system, ④ provide more dignified elderly care services, and ⑤ supply comprehensive and full-cycle health services to the entire society.
18. Which of the following explanations of the relevant statements in the material is incorrect? (3 points)
A. The word “just” in section A highlights the convenience and high cost-effectiveness of comprehensive care at a low cost, demonstrating the service value of the “no accompanying ward.”
B. The dash in section B serves to explain, referring to the responsibility of family members and children to bear the care of hospitalized elderly individuals alone.
C. The quotation marks around “benefit package” in section C emphasize the aim of highlighting the benefits and convenience brought to patients by the “no accompanying ward” service.
D. The combination of the oracle bone script form of the character “filial piety” in section D visually presents the original connotation of the virtue of respecting the elderly, providing cultural support for explaining the contemporary significance of the “no accompanying ward.”
19. There are several misspelled words in the text, please identify two words with misspellings and correct them. (2 points)

21. (Example) The “no accompanying ward” is a service model implemented by hospitals where professional nurses and caregivers take on caregiving responsibilities, allowing the elderly to receive professional care at a cost that benefits the public.
22. (Example 1) Choose a no accompanying ward, let professionals care for the sunset! (Example 2) One person hospitalized, the whole family is not tired—no accompanying ward, let professionals fulfill filial piety for you!

Read the text below and complete questions 18 to 22.
Language, that is to say, speaking, seems to be an extremely ordinary thing. But upon careful consideration, it is indeed a remarkable matter. ① It is precisely because speaking is as common as eating and walking, ② that people do not think about what it actually is. ③ In fact, these three things are all quite extraordinary, ④ they are what make humans different from other animals. ⑤ Other animals eat raw food, only humans cook their food. Other animals walk with their bodies parallel to the ground, using as many legs as they have. Only humans stand upright and walk on two legs, freeing the other two legs to do other, more important tasks. Similarly, ⑥ human mouths can speak in addition to eating, but other animals’ mouths can only eat.
Ancient people said: “Parrots can speak, but they are still birds.” However, upon careful thought, this statement is not entirely correct. Parrots can learn to speak human language, but only as ready-made formulas, without variation. Only humans speak based on specific situations (including external circumstances and personal intentions); when the situation changes, the speech changes accordingly. The reason human language can ” “, on one hand, lies in the ability to analyze sounds into several phonemes (of course, unconsciously), and then combine these phonemes into syllables, and then link the syllables together—while the number of phonemes is limited, various languages generally have only dozens of phonemes, but syllables can be composed into hundreds or thousands, and then into disyllabic and trisyllabic forms, resulting in tens of thousands or even millions of phonemes; on the other hand, people can analyze external things and their changes, forming countless “ideas”—each paired with sounds, and then comprehensively used to express various complex meanings. In short, the characteristic of human language lies in its ability to use endlessly variable sounds to express endlessly variable meanings. This is something no other animal can achieve.
18. There are several misspelled words in the first paragraph, please identify and correct them. (3 points)
Answer:
19. There are three inappropriate expressions in the numbered parts of the first paragraph, please point out their sequence numbers and make corrections to ensure the language is accurate and smooth, and the logic is tight, without changing the original meaning. (6 points)

21. Please write two sentences summarizing the main ideas of the two paragraphs, each no more than 20 words. (3 points)
Answer:
22. Why do people refer to following others blindly as “parrots learning to speak”? Please provide a brief explanation based on the second paragraph. (3 points)
Answer:
18. ① “及其稀松平常”‘s “及” changed to “极” ② “仔细的想想”‘s “的” changed to “地” C. “身体根地面平行”‘s “根” changed to “跟” (1 point for each correction)
19. The first correction: Sentence ② modified to: (So) people do not think about what it actually is. The second correction: Sentence ④ modified to: they are characteristics that make humans different from other animals. Or modified to: they make humans different from other animals. The third correction: Sentence ⑥ modified to: Other animals’ mouths can only eat, while human mouths can speak in addition to eating. (In sentence ②, moving “so” to the beginning or deleting “so” is acceptable. In sentence ④, the “is” has no follow-up, so it should be deleted or “characteristics” should be added at the end. In sentence ⑥, there is a “similarly” before, indicating that sentence ⑥ should be consistent with sentences ⑤ and the following two sentences. The emphasis should be on “human mouths,” and the word “but” changes the emphasis to “animal mouths,” which is inconsistent with the previous text. After the modification, first mention “other animals,” then mention “humans,” maintaining consistency with the previous text and changing the emphasis to “human mouths,” making the writing smoother. Each sequence number is worth 1 point, and the modification must meet the requirements for 1 point.)
20. D [Here, the emphasis is not only on the ability of human language to change, but also on the fact that it changes with specific situations (including external circumstances and personal intentions). The other three options only indicate change, while D has the word “random,” indicating that the change is based on specific situations, which is more in line with the context.]
21. First sentence: Language is one of the characteristics that make humans different from other animals. Second sentence: Human language consists of endlessly variable sounds and meanings. (1 point for each correct sentence, 3 points for both correct sentences. As long as the meaning is correct and meets the word count requirement, other answers can be given points at discretion.)
22. First example: Language is a human characteristic that distinguishes us from other animals. Second example: Human language consists of endlessly variable sounds and meanings.

When those hot days come one after another, the asphalt road can even fry eggs, and the sky and earth ( ), seemingly about to stage a hot feast. On the streets and roads, those exposed areas are entirely a feeling of unbearable heat, as if the air is stagnant and solidified. If there are lush trees on the sidewalks along the roads, and nearby parks have shaded woods, they naturally become a refuge that everyone rushes to. When the sun meets the green trees, the sunlight either shines directly down or slants in, casting flickering shadows, with branches and leaves flourishing, forming a cool shade.
After work, in addition to enjoying the cool under the green trees on the streets and roads, one can also seek “greenery” in suburban parks 【D】. Walking into a park filled with trees, one can see a world of green, feel a cool breeze all around, calm the body and mind, and while enjoying the cool, not be isolated from the bright sunshine and fresh air.

Elevators are usually a closed and narrow space, which can easily give people a sense of confinement, oppression, or even claustrophobia. The installation of mirrors can create a visual effect of expanding space, which can alleviate the sense of pressure on passengers to a certain extent.
① When you are in an elevator, ② seeing the reflection in the mirror, ③ you may feel that the space seems to become more spacious. ④ This is due to the sense of extension and symmetry created by the mirror’s reflection, which gives the illusion of a larger space. ⑤ Elevator mirrors also provide a certain degree of “psychological comfort,” ⑥ the existence of the “mirror image” can dilute the sense of loneliness of passengers.
The other important function of mirrors is (A). Elevators are relatively closed private spaces, and for passengers, mirrors can enhance their sense of security. Through the mirror’s reflection, passengers can (B), increasing their alertness. At the same time, mirrors can be used in conjunction with monitoring devices in elevators. Surveillance cameras are usually installed at the top of the elevator, and the reflection from the mirror reduces blind spots, enhancing safety. You may not have noticed that mirrors are particularly important for wheelchair users. Many accessible elevators will install a large mirror, as it is difficult for wheelchairs to turn flexibly in the elevator, and passengers usually stop with their backs to the door; with the help of the mirror, they can (C), preventing dangers caused by obstructed vision. This also illustrates that mirrors in elevators are not merely “necessities,” but a form of “humanized design” that reflects humanistic care.
On the surface, mirrors in elevators seem to be merely for “grooming,” but the design intention and scientific principles behind them go far beyond that. In modern society, we often pursue efficiency and convenience, while often neglecting the care hidden in the details. Elevator mirrors are such a warm presence, quietly guarding our journey every time we go up and down.

A. “On the surface”: Clearly points out the common shallow understanding of the function of elevator mirrors (only for grooming), paving the way for a deeper revelation of their profound value in the following text.
B. “Far beyond this”: Concisely and powerfully negates the superficial understanding in the previous text, emphasizing the richness and depth of the design intention behind the mirrors, provoking readers’ thoughts.
C. “Hidden”: Suggests the gap between the designer’s good intentions and the passengers’ daily neglect, and the sense of alienation brought by “hidden” somewhat weakens the warmth of humanistic care.
D. “Quietly guarding”: With a personification touch, endows elevator mirrors with the qualities of being low-key and considerate, vividly conveying their hidden and gentle protective role, elevating the theme.

Read the text below and complete questions 17 to 21.
① Our diligent and wise ancestors conducted long-term selective breeding of wild soybeans based on actual needs, ② continuously selecting soybeans with larger seeds and higher yields for cultivation, ③ through continuous improvement and cultivation, ④ today forming the cultivated soybeans widely planted in fields. ⑤ These common characteristics realized in crops through human selection are called “domestication syndrome,” ⑥ and the most typical domestication syndrome in soybeans is its seed color.
We now commonly see cultivated soybean seeds usually appear brown or light brown, while wild soybean seeds are black. This seems to be a small difference, but it hides the “secret” of wild soybeans’ survival.
“Exploding pods” is a characteristic of many leguminous plants after maturity and is also an important factor affecting soybean yield. The exploding pods of leguminous plants, like throwing a shot put, aim to “launch” the seeds as far as possible to expand the survival range of their offspring, increasing their survival rate, thus (A).
Through field experiments, it was found that compared to light brown seeds, (B). Further use of thermal infrared temperature imaging to measure the temperature changes of the two colors of seeds under natural and simulated sunlight conditions found that under simulated sunlight, the maximum temperature of black seeds can reach 62 degrees Celsius, while the maximum temperature of light brown seeds is only 52 degrees Celsius. Although they are “brothers,” they differ by about 10 degrees Celsius. This indicates that seed coats can sense light and temperature, and black seed coats have a higher light-heat conversion rate, possessing a higher surface temperature and more intense temperature changes outside the seed coat under light, making the exploding pod phenomenon more likely to occur, thus meeting their reproductive needs under natural conditions.
Researchers have successfully identified a key factor regulating soybean seed color—the L1 gene. This gene is highly expressed specifically in black soybean seeds and can encode a legume-specific L1 protein. This protein can generate red fruit acid and guava acid after a reaction, and these two compounds will further oxidize or undergo polymerization reactions with other substances, gradually deepening the color of soybean seeds. Moreover, the compound reactions will cause irregular pigment deposition on the soybean seed coat, providing “camouflage” for the seeds, reducing the risk of being discovered by foragers.
The L1 gene enhances the environmental adaptability of wild soybeans but reduces the yield of cultivated soybeans, and the mottled seed coat also affects appearance and economic quality. Therefore, during the domestication of soybeans, people consciously selected for lighter seed colors, and the L1 gene is gradually being eliminated.
In the first paragraph, there are three inappropriate expressions in the numbered parts, please point out their sequence numbers and make corrections to ensure the language is accurate and smooth, and the logic is tight, without changing the original meaning. (6 points)
In the second paragraph, the use of “secret” employs the rhetorical device of metaphor. Please identify the subject and analyze its expressive effect. (4 points)
Among the following sentences, the use of quotation marks differs from the other options. (3 points)
These common characteristics realized in crops through human selection are called “domestication syndrome.”

Scoring suggestion: 2 points for each correct modification.
21. (3 points) Because the special protein encoded by the L1 gene can generate red fruit acid and guava acid, deepening the color of soybean seed pods and causing irregular pigment deposition, it can provide “camouflage” for the seeds, reducing the risk of being discovered by foragers.
Scoring suggestion: 1 point for establishing a causal relationship, 2 points for appropriate meaning; other answers that convey the same meaning can also be given points at discretion.

For most people, mobile phones have long become a part of life. The first thing to do when waking up is to turn on the phone, and the last thing before sleeping is to turn it off. Frequent scrolling through the phone and being addicted to it indeed poses many dangers, such as affecting attention, thinking ability, and learning ability. Experts have vividly described this phenomenon as “brain rot,” which is both a definition and a warning. When human cognitive abilities, emotional management, social skills, and rational thinking are gradually “eroded,” the rational thinking that humans pride themselves on is facing unprecedented difficulties and challenges.
The emergence of the “brain rot” phenomenon has significant negative impacts. On one hand, “brain rot” threatens people’s physical and mental health, affecting hormone secretion, disrupting the brain’s self-repair, and having an even greater impact on the health of adolescents. On the other hand, “brain rot” can also lead to a vicious cycle. Fragmented attention leads to a decline in cognitive ability, and the decline in cognitive ability makes it difficult to resist temptation, further exacerbating dependence on mobile phones. The most frightening aspect of this cycle is that it () changes the way the brain works, causing people to lose the ability to focus on reading, logical reasoning, and independent thinking, which are precisely the core skills that sustain a civilized society.
Technological progress is unstoppable, and what we need to do is re-establish the subject position of humans. The famous French philosopher Bernard Stiegler once said, “Technology is both the antidote and the poison for humanity. We must be vigilant about the rapid development of technology.” When smartphones begin to “erode” the most precious cognitive abilities of humans, we must rebuild deep social connections, cultivate critical awareness, and reset usage boundaries. We need to create a new technological culture to cope with the technological era; only in this way can we enjoy the convenience of technology without losing ourselves in the digital fog and losing the thinking and dignity that make us human.
In the cognitive defense battle against the “brain rot” phenomenon, everyone is a participant. We need to put down our phones and pick up books, which ① is repairing our brains, ② is voting for the future of humanity. Thus, we ③ can more calmly face the increasingly complex risks and challenges.

“Pride” changed to “Pride”; “Hormone secretion” changed to “Hormone secretion”; “Brain rot” changed to “Brain rot”.
Meaning: “Brain rot” refers to the phenomenon where frequent scrolling through mobile phones and addiction lead to the gradual “erosion” of cognitive abilities, emotional management, social skills, and rational thinking.
Expressive effect: ① The combination of “rot” (erosion) and “brain” (cognitive and brain function) vividly highlights the damage caused by mobile phone addiction to brain function, as if it is “eroding” slowly and destructively, making it easy for readers to understand the dangers of this phenomenon; ② The term “brain rot” is concise and novel, with a warning nature, which can draw readers’ attention to the issue of mobile dependence and strengthen the article’s discussion of the negative impacts of excessive mobile phone use.

Read the text below and complete questions 18 to 22.
“The good student mentality” is a belief system deeply engraved in our hearts. It tells us that only through continuous effort and competition can we gain recognition and success. This mentality leads “good students” to always set a ( ) goal in their hearts: to excel in all aspects. Although this pursuit may bring a sense of achievement in the short term, over time, it can easily lead to anxiety, fatigue, and even self-doubt.
In contrast to the “good student mentality” is the “poor student mentality,” which refers to the self-perception formed by those often labeled as “not good enough” in the traditional education system. This mentality may seem negative, but it harbors some valuable qualities outside the traditional view of success.
Unlike “good students” who pursue perfection and try to control everything, “poor students” understand that life is full of uncertainties and variables, and excessive worry or over-planning only adds pressure and internal conflict. Therefore, they choose to face the future with a relaxed attitude, striving without being overly attached.
What is meant by “relaxed” is not to let things go, but rather a moderately relaxed mindset that accepts the ups and downs and complexities of life. In fact, uncertainty is the root of anxiety for many people, while “poor students” are particularly good at tolerating uncertainty. They understand that while effort is important, life does not need to be perfect in every aspect.
Success is worth celebrating, and failure need not be mourned. This acceptance of uncertainty and relaxed approach is the core of the “poor student mentality.”

C (According to the context, the idiom to fill in the blank should indicate a difficult-to-achieve goal; option C indicates something very far away and difficult to obtain, which fits the context. Option A means that the distance is close but hard to meet. Option B means that it is too far away to reach. Option D means something that is illusory and does not exist. Options A, B, and D do not fit the context.)
20. D (The underlined sentence emphasizes the attitude towards success and failure, indicating that both can be accepted. Option A emphasizes the duality of things, suggesting that blessings and misfortunes can transform under certain conditions. Option B focuses on a detached and open-minded state, emphasizing that emotions should not be swayed by external events and personal circumstances. Option C emphasizes the need for perseverance. Option D means that winning is certainly worth celebrating, but losing can also be appreciated, which is closest to the meaning of the underlined sentence.)
