Velofest is a big cycling activity in support of bike culture and healthy lifestyles. “Forget apples, riding’s a good way to keep the doctor at bay (陷入困境).” According to research from the University of North Carolina, people who cycle for 30 minutes, five days a week take about half as many sick days off as those who do not exercise. ______________________ Thanks to livestreaming (直播), people can appreciate the scenery without going outdoors. Many famous cultural heritage (遗产) sites, are also exploring new possibilities. The villages have created an official livestreaming account on Tiktok in August 2025, “the ancient Hongcun Village in Yixian county, for example, has attracted a huge potential (潜在的) customer base for the years to come.” Military-style travel It has become the latest fashion among Chinese college students who spend as little money as possible traveling to as many places as they can during the weekend, seldom taking a break or even sleeping. “These young travelers are less concerned (关心，涉及) with deep experience and more interested in checking off popular places.” “Such a trip can bring a different color to my stressful life,” said Chen, a 24-year-old university student. “and of course it is not suitable for everyone”, she added. 51.

It starts when you do something for others. You can feel it when you drive for an hour to a hospital to meet the sick children. And you can also feel it when you sit down to comfort your friend after he or she doesn’t pass the exam. My friend once took me to a Youth Group meeting in his school. ★ . Early that Saturday morning, a group of 15 teenagers began making sandwiches, washing fruit and counting bags of bread. For the first time in my life, I realized that we, the teens, could make a difference. It made me join the Youth Group. Now I work at a coffee shop. It’s not the best job, but sometimes it’s worthwhile (值得的). One day, the shop was empty and I was bored. Looking out of the window, I noticed an old man sitting outside. He never came in to buy anything because he didn’t have money. I took a cup of coffee, walked outside and handed it to him. The smile on his face made my day, and as I walked back into the shop, I paid for the coffee myself. Then I knew how the members of the Youth Group felt every time they helped someone. Knowing that you can help others is great. 56. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. We went for a picnic the next day B. We planned to clean the city parks C. Then they invited me to join in feeding the homeless D. I felt so bored for the long meeting 57. The underlined words “made my day” in this passage mean _________. A. made me happy B. made me sad C. made me angry D. made me nervous 58. What can we learn from the passage? A. The writer doesn’t like the job at the coffee shop. B. The writer realized teens could do something to make a difference. C. The writer helped feed the homeless on a Sunday morning. D. The writer went to the Youth Group to meet her classmate. 59. Which of the following can best describe the writer? A. warmhearted B. brave C. hardworking D. clever 60. Which can be the best title for this passage? A. My Work B. The Youth Group C. How to Help Others D. The Greatest Feeling C Artificial intelligence (AI) is part of our everyday life. It makes our smart devices work. You might already be using an AI programme in school. But advanced chatbots, like DeepSeek, are new. They’re called generative (生成的) AI. Ask a chatbot a question, and it will create an answer. Some educators worry that chatbots could prevent students from learning on their own. Should students use AI to do their school homework? Here are two students’ different answers. YES Teaching kids how to use AI can prepare them for our technology-filled future. Using AI can help kids build the critical thinking (批判思维) and problem-solving skills. And it’s better that students learn about AI’s problems now: its potential (可能性) to spread misinformation, the ways it could be misused and so on. I believe that as long as it’s done well, teaching AI in schools will change the society for the better. —Xue Wen, 11, China NO Though generative AI will be popularly used in the future, we shouldn’t introduce it into schools for a few reasons. First, chatbots and other AI programmes are getting more and more advanced every day. Teachers might not know how to best integrate (使融合) them into their classes. Second, think of the cost to schools. Many wouldn’t be able to afford the latest technology, and that’s not fair to students. And most of all, AI lacks the humanity (人性) and emotion that kids get from a teacher. That human connection is important. A chatbot just feeds students information. But teachers know how to help students keep learning. —Ninis Twumasi, 12, New York 61. The underlined word “prevent” probably means “________” in the passage. A. stop B. save C. encourage D. expect 62. Which of the following ideas may Xue Wen agree with? A. AI can save more money for schools. B. AI can help make students’ homework easier. C. AI can take the place of teachers in the classroom. D. AI can help students prepare for a tech-driven future. 63. How many reasons does Ninis Twumasi mention to support his idea? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 64. What does “them” in paragragh 3 refer to? A. students B. teachers C. chatbots and other AI programmes D. schools 65. The main purpose of this passage is ________. A. to compare different types of AI technology B. to explain how AI chatbots like DeepSeek work C. to show the problems AI will bring in education D. to discuss whether students should use AI for homework 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题, 共40分) 五、词与短语填空 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，用方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、语意和逻辑上正确。 (提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。) spend / take / deal with / work with / communication / care / cleaner In our daily lives, we face different challenges, but kindness and ____________ (66) can make a big difference.
