Sign up for the Teen Confidence Workshop and start reaching your full potential! 21. What is the aim of the workshop? 22. How much should a group of six pay? 23. What teaching approach does the workshop mainly adopt? I’m Thomas from the United Kingdom, working in Beijing, and I’m a shopping addict (迷). The main source of my addiction is Taobao, China’s massive online shopping platform — a place for everything from clothes to books, and everything in between. It makes Amazon look like a corner shop. My favorite is mostly books and different kinds of water bottles. My cupboard has a shelf full of them, many of which my size will no longer allow me to crowd into. What’s worse is that the app’s very clever algorithms (算法) track what I look through, so every time I open it on my phone, I am greeted by an advertisement inviting me to dip deeper into my digital wallet. I don’t even have to open the app. They are available to purchase with just a tap of my finger. Once you make an order, you need to wait. The shipping gives your heart a little hit. Then there’s another little rush of endorphins (内啡肽) when the delivery person picks it up. You watch your package edging its way up the map to Beijing. When the app tells you it’s on the delivery bike, the same excitement as a kid on Christmas morning takes hold as you wait for the knock at the door. Much like a little dog waiting for its master to return home from work. The packaging is eagerly removed, exciting another hit of happiness. An hour later, the buyer’s regret comes. To make yourself feel better, you start using the app once more and the cycle starts all over again. I could blame (责备) my addiction on Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, Taobao’s parent company, or point a finger at Liu Qiangdong, founder of JD, a similarly addictive domestic shopping app. I could even blame Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who started all this e-commerce. “Surely, Thomas,” I hear you ask, “instead of blaming poor billionaires, you should take responsibility for your own sudden desire and lack of willpower.” 24. Why is Thomas crazy about Taobao? A. Building up teens’ self-belief.　 B. Offering teens virtual tools. C. Giving teens career guidance. D. Teaching communication skills. A. $ 450. B. $ 420. C. $ 390. D. $ 360. A. Group discussion. B. Experiential learning. C. Lecture-based instruction.　 D. Textbook-centered analysis. A. It helps bring in money. B. He prefers online platforms. 25. How can Thomas’s phone know what he prefers? 26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? 27. What does the author want to convey in this passage? Artificial intelligence has become a part of our lives, changing the way we live, work, and interact. AI systems are capable of processing vast amounts of data, analyzing patterns, and producing valuable insights and have changed various industries. In the field of healthcare, Al-powered systems can help doctors and researchers a lot, reducing waiting times for test results and identifying patterns and trends that can be used to more accurately diagnose (诊断) and treat patients, AI can identify data patterns in minutes or even seconds that would otherwise take a doctor or researcher weeks or even months. By analyzing patient data from around the world, AI can identify some diseases that may not be known before. And this exchange of knowledge can lead to more accurate diagnoses, better treatments, and improved cure effects. In the education field, professors and teachers across the world are faced with AI revolution and know what it means for them and their students. How many students will save time and energy by having AI write their essays and assignments (布置的任务) rather than writing them themselves? Will teachers and professors use AI to create their own lesson plans and assignments? And we can see a rise of new anti-cheating tools and apps to fight against the essays created by AI. Like any new technology, there is a certain amount of fear and a lot of questions to be answered on the use, exchange, advantages and disadvantages of AI, but one thing seems clear: By offering more access to information and services, AI can help create a more equal and better society. Chinese civilization is one of the oldest civilizations in human history and is still flourishing today. The combination of AI and Chinese cultural heritage will not only open up new paths for the development of AI technology, but will also bring new opportunities for the development of Chinese civilization. 28. What is conveyed in the underlined sentence? 29. What can be learned from paragraph 4? 30. What is the author’s attitude to the combination of AI and Chinese cultural heritage? C. It offers multiple item options. D. Amazon is too distant to access. A. His digital wallet pays for it automatically. B. He searches online when he opens the phone. C. He communicates with the Taobao business owner. D. The app’s algorithms follow his digital footprints. A. The author’s expectation of the purchased item.　 B. The challenges of online shopping. C. The long journey of a purchased item. D. The accuracy of the shopping app. A. We should say no to e-commerce.　 B. We should blame Taobao. C. We should be responsible for our purchasing. D. We should admire billionaires. A. Professors and teachers are against the use of AI. B. Students’ use of AI might result in academic dishonesty. C. More anti-cheating tools and apps should be developed. D. It is time-taking for students to write essays themselves. A. AI has the potential to create a more fair and better society. B.

Indifferent.　 C. Curious.　 D. Supportive. 2/4 提 示 : 本 卷 A 3 纸 张 绝密 启用前 ID: 25kWpoz8x# 31. What would be the best title for the passage? The Qixi Festival, the Chinese Valentine’s Day that fell yesterday, was not only a disappointment for forgotten lovers, but also for businessmen left with empty pockets. The cold welcome has caused experts to seriously worry that the lovers’ festival, marked for generations since the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), is dying out. Some have even called for government to make the festival a legal Chinese Lovers’ Day. But the effectiveness of such a measure is in doubt, although efforts to preserve traditional festivals are worth high praise. A growing number of traditional Chinese festivals, such as the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, share the same fate of the Qixi Festival. Young people are showing less interest in traditional culture as symbolized by these festivals. Even if all traditional festivals are finally made legal, the risk of them becoming purely formalized celebrations with little meaning is not reduced. If the younger generation fails to appreciate the cultural significance of these holidays, there is little that can be done. Concern about the traditional holidays also reminds people of the growing influence of foreign cultures as the country opens wider to the outside world. With traditional festivals becoming less important and imports such as Christmas and Valentine’s Day gaining widespread popularity, the public including cultural professionals have tended to measure traditional Chinese festivals in economic terms. Business rather than culture has begun to play a dominant (占主导地位的 ) role. More and more people are interested in how much money can be made during the holidays. In fact, what makes traditional festivals unique and what keeps them alive is their cultural elements. After all, it is unique culture that contributes to the world’s diversity (多样性) with globalization. 32. What leads the experts to worry that the lovers’ festival is dying out? 33. What’s the author’s attitude towards the effectiveness of the legalization of the Qixi Festival? 34. From Paragraph 5 we can learn that ________. 35. The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to ________. A. The Power of AI in Human Civilization B. The Changes of AI in Chinese History C. The Impacts of AI on Human Life D. The Progress of AI in Scientific Research A. The unpopularity of Qixi Festival among the public. B. The disappointment in both businessmen and lovers. C. The failure to make traditional Chinese festivals legal. D. The action to preserve culture and traditional festivals. A. Unconcerned. B. Positive.　 C. Doubtful. D. Hopeful. A. making the festivals legal can reduce the risk of the disappearance of them B. the legal traditional festivals ensure the meaningfulness of the celebrations C. the formalized celebrations are thought more highly of by the young people D. preserving traditional festivals relies on youth’s valuing their cultural values A. inform the public of the dying out of traditional Chinese festivals 第二节 (本大题共5小题，共12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Released on Jan 20, DeepSeek-R1, a new AI model quickly beat OpenAI’s ChatGPT and topped the free charts of Apple’s App Store by Jan ___27___.

How would I manage the increasing bills, the groceries and my children’s needs? The future seemed hopeless. With a heavy heart, I hurried to pick up my two children, my mind racing wildly. That’s when I saw it—a wallet, lying on the sidewalk. It was as if fate had thrown me a lifeline (救生索). Hope came to me as I approached it. The wallet was large, and when I opened it, my eyes widened in disbelief at the sight of a large amount of cash inside it. I hesitated for a moment, torn between the immediate relief that this money promised and the morality (道德) of keeping it. Curiosity led me to search through the wallet. The things it contained were a photo and a couple of business cards. No matter how much I wanted to take the contents, my moral principles and inner voice told me not to do this. The decision became clear; I couldn’t keep this money. It wasn’t rightfully mine. I picked out a business card. The name and number were there. With a deep breath, I dialed the number and explained my find to the voice on the other end. The voice came, completely emotionless, warning that they would come to me. He hung up without even saying “thank you”. I was angry with the impoliteness. I even regretted my decision, but my conscience (良知) did not allow me to go back on my choice. I had told the voice where I lived and went to get my children. Shortly after we arrived home, a large black car suddenly pulled up to our house. The driver got out and knocked on the door. When I opened it, the driver told me that the owner of the wallet wanted me to personally hand over his wallet. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I didn’t want to do so, but I agreed to go with the driver at last.__________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ He wanted to reward me for my honesty and kind act._________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4/4
