For further details, refer to the linked sources. Zhalong Nature Reserve Located in Heilongjiang Province, Zhalong is one of the world’s most important wetlands, providing a year-round habitat for numerous bird species. Its abundant fish supply ensures easy access to food for migratory (迁徙的) and resident birds, such as red-crowned cranes. However, habitat loss has endangered many birds, prompting the Chinese government to strengthen conservation efforts to protect these species. Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve This reserve in Jilin Province features adormant (休眠的) volcano and Tianchi Lake, the source of three major rivers. Recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere (生物圈) Reserve, it preserves a unique complex ecosystem with over 2,500 plant species and rare animals like Siberian tigers. Its vertical climate zones range from temperate forests to alpine tundra (高山苔原), making it a “natural museum” of biodiversity. Hengshui Lake National Nature Reserve Situated in Hebei, Hengshui Lake is a vital wetland ecosystem supporting migratory birds such as swans and cormorants. The lake’s richfreshwater resources maintain both wildlife and local communities. Conservation efforts here focus on balancing ecological health with sustainable development, ensuring the protection of its weak water-based habitats. Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve Famous for its subtropical forests in Fujian Province, Wuyi Mountain shelters endangered species like the Chinese giant salamander and golden monkey. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it combines geological wonders with cultural heritage, offering protected zones for rare animals and plants. Its dense forests and clean rivers witness China’s commitment to preserving natural landscapes. 1 Which of the following is well-known as a “natural museum” of biodiversity? A. Zhalong Nature Reserve. B. Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve. C. Hengshui Lake National Nature Reserve. D. Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve. 2. What do the 1st and 3rd reserves have in common? A. They supply enough food to migratory birds. B. They are recognized as UNESCO Biosphere Reserves. C. They are both focusing on the issue of numerous bird extinctions. D. They have both been included on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. 3. Where can you find this text? A. A travel guide brochure. B. An entertainment magazine. C. A school bulletin board. D. An eco-friendly website. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍中国扎龙、长白山等四个自然保护区，展现其生态特色与中国保护生物多样性的努力。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve部分中“Its vertical climate zones range from temperate forests to alpine tundra (高山苔原), making it a ‘natural museum’ of biodiversity.(它的垂直气候带从温带森林到高山苔原，使它成为生物多样性的‘自然博物馆’。)”可知，长白山自然保护区被称为生物多样性的“自然博物馆”。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Zhalong Nature Reserve部分中“Its abundant fish supply ensures easy access to food for migratory (迁徙的) and resident birds, such as red-crowned cranes.(它丰富的鱼类供应确保了迁徙和留居的鸟类，如丹顶鹤，能轻易获得食物。)”和Hengshui Lake National Nature Reserve部分中“Situated in Hebei, Hengshui Lake is a vital wetland ecosystem supporting migratory birds such as swans and cormorants. The lake’s rich freshwater resources maintain both wildlife and local communities.(衡水湖位于河北，是一个重要的湿地生态系统，为天鹅和鸬鹚等候鸟提供支持。湖泊丰富的淡水资源维持着野生动物和当地社区。)”可知，扎龙自然保护区和衡水湖国家级自然保护区的共同之处是它们都为候鸟提供了足够的食物。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章开头“These reserves highlight China’s devotion to biodiversity conservation, addressing challenges like loss of habitat and climate change through science-based management and international cooperation. For further details, refer to the linked sources.(这些保护区凸显了中国对生物多样性保护的投入，通过基于科学的管理和国际合作来应对栖息地丧失和气候变化等挑战。欲了解更多详情，请参阅相关链接资源。)”以及全文主要介绍中国四个自然保护区及其生物多样性保护等相关内容，可推断本文可能来自一个环保网站。故选D。 B I have a long history with letter writing, beginning when I was 8 years old. My first pen pal was Abuela, my great-grandmother in Puerto Rico. Then I was writing to my sisters, friends from summer camp and even my husband. In a letter, there’s more heart involved and less hurry. It requires a pen, stamp, envelope and mailbox trip, unlike hurried texts or emails. Through my work as a biographer, I’ve observed how special letters can be. In one beautiful letter I read, 22-year-old Doug wrote to his bride-to-be, Mitch, about their future together: “Dance a little... walk together, enjoy each other’s company, laugh a little, cry a little.” Fifty-nine years later, as I read the faded ink on a rough page, I was moved by his timeless message. Although I met Doug as an 82-year-old during interviews, I truly knew him through letters he wrote to Mitch. His pure devotion to her was clear in every letter, right up to when she was moved to a memory care unit, unable to recognize him anymore. After I finished writing Doug’s life story, we stayed in touch by phone, but more often we wrote letters to each other purely because it brought us mutual joy. Last Tuesday, when a letter arrived from Doug’s son, Bruce, my heart sank. Bruce’s letter announcing Doug’s death also included an unfinished one from Doug addressed to me. It was clear that he had struggled to write it with his shaky hands, making his effort even more touching. This small simple pleasure in life-letter writing is something I’m unwilling to give up, despite the hustle and bustle and busyness of the ever-spinning (不断旋转的) world around me. I’m sure I’ll also do it until my dying days. 4. To whom did the author originally write a letter? A. Her great-grandma. B. Her sister. C. Her friend. D. Her husband. 5. What can we know about Doug through his letters? A. His letters are special due to his sense of humour. B. He persisted in writing letters for a total of 59 years. C. His letters to Mitch are heavy with his love for his wife. D. He only wrote letters to his wife Mitch throughout his life. 6. How did the author feel after reading the unfinished letter from Doug? A. Shocked. B. Grieving. C. Unexpected. D. Affected. 7. What does the author want to convey in this text? A. Her friendship with Doug is unforgettable. B. People are encouraged to write letters only. C. Letter writing involves a more personal touch. D. Letter writing wastes too much of our precious time. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者有长期写信的经历，通过工作接触到特殊的信件，以Doug的信件为例说明信件的意义，最后表明自己不愿放弃写信这一简单的乐趣。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“My first pen pal was Abuela, my great grandmother in Puerto Rico. (我的第一个笔友是Abuela，我在波多黎各的曾祖母。)”可知，作者最初是给她的曾祖母写信。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Although I met Doug as an 82-year-old during interviews, I truly knew him through letters he wrote to Mitch. His pure devotion to her was clear in every letter, right up to when she was moved to a memory care unit, unable to recognize him anymore. (虽然我是在采访中认识82岁的Doug的，但我真正了解他是通过他写给Mitch的信。他对她纯粹的爱在每一封信中都清晰可见，直到她被转移到记忆护理病房，再也认不出他。)”可知，Doug写给Mitch的信中充满了他对妻子的爱。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“Bruce’s letter announcing Doug’s death also included an unfinished one from Doug addressed to me. It was clear that he had struggled to write it with his shaky hands, making his effort even more touching. (Bruce宣布Doug去世的信中还有一封道格写给我的未完成的信。很明显，他用颤抖的手艰难地写这封信，这让他的努力更加感人。)”可知，Doug在艰难时刻仍在给作者写信，所以Doug未完成的信让作者感动。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第二段中“In a letter, there’s more heart involved and less hurry. (在一封信中，更多的是用心，少了些匆忙。)”以及最后一段中“This small simple pleasure in life letter writing is something I’m unwilling to give up (写信这种生活中的小而简单的乐趣是我不愿放弃的)”可知，作者想要表达的是写信更具个人情感色彩。故选C项。 C In a typical residential area of Hong Kong, the basketball courts at Kennedy Town Playground are surprisingly busy — not with players, but with tourists. Located on a hill, the courts provide great views of the Hong Kong skyline, making them an unexpected attraction. This trend began with a hot post on the social media platform Xiaohongshu, turning the playground into a unique spot for photo opportunities. The post gathered over 13,000 likes and 15,000 saves, illustrating the concept of “planting grass”. “Planting grass”, or zhongcao, refers to recommending products or experiences to make others interested in trying them. This phenomenon has become a key driver of tourism and commerce, creating what’s now called the “grass planting economy”, which means recommendation-based business models. By September 2023, more than 200,000 products spanning 100 industries had been discussed on Xiaohongshu, according to Xinhua. Around 51 percent of users on the platform were willing to try new brand products. Globally, platforms like Instagram have also driven recommendation-based marketing. Data analysis company Data Reportal revealed that in 2023, 62.2 percent of Instagram users followed or researched brands through the platform, highlighting its influence on purchasing behavior. In Fujian, the popularity of a folk tradition known as zanhuawei has turned Quanzhou into a vibrant cultural destination. Similarly, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi, famous for its porcelain art, has become popular among young travelers due to “planting grass” posts. The charm of this model comes from how real it feels: Millions of users act as city ambassadors, sharing personal recommendations. Different from traditional tours, the trips described in these posts feature the hidden charm of the cities and build meaningful connections with local culture, boosting tourism, according to Xinhua. While “planting grass” can help the economy grow, it also carries some risks. Following trends without caution may lead to overcrowding and danger. A Polish couple who followed posts to check a viral photo spot fell off a cliff in Portugal while taking a selfie past a safety barrier several years ago. In Hong Kong, popular locations recommended on social media often attract tourists who crowd narrow sidewalks, blocking locals — particularly the elderly — from passing. 8. What is the writer’s purpose of mentioning the basketball courts in paragraph 1? A. To post a viral photo spot in Hong Kong. B. To capture the reader’s interest. C. To gather as many likes as possible. D. To introduce the topic of the text. 9. What does the underlined word “planting grass” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Highlighting a scenic spot. B. Making recommendations. C. Stimulating economic development. D. Promoting products actively. 10. How is the 4th paragraph developed? A. By listing statistics. B. By giving a definition. C. By classifying facts. D. By explaining the process. 11. Why does “planting grass” carry many risks according to this text? A. Because it can lead to some threats to safety. B. Because it lets users spread misinformation to gather likes. C. Because too many people are attracted to pursue trends blindly. D. Because popular locations are crowded with a large number of tourists. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了 “种草经济” 这一现象，即通过在社交媒体上推荐产品或体验来吸引他人尝试，进而推动旅游和商业发展。同时也指出了 “种草” 行为带来的一些风险。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第 一段 “In a typical residential area of Hong Kong, the basketball courts at Kennedy Town Playground are surprisingly busy — not with players, but with tourists. Located on a hill, the courts provide great views of the Hong Kong skyline, making them an unexpected attraction .(在香港一个典型的住宅区，坚尼地城游乐场的篮球场出奇地热闹 —— 不是因为打球的人，而是因为游客。这些球场位于一座小山上，可以欣赏到香港天际线的美景，这使它们成为了一个意想不到的景点。)”可知，第一段描述了香港坚尼地城游乐场的篮球场本应是打球的地方却因能看到香港天际线而被游客占据，接着在第二段提到这种现象源于社交媒体平台小红书上的一篇热门帖子，从而引出了 “种草” 以及 “种草经济” 的话题。所以作者提到篮球场的目的是引出本文关于 “种草经济” 的话题。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段 ““Planting gras””, or zhongcao, refers to recommending products or experiences to make others interested in trying them. (“Planting gras”，或 “种草”，指的是推荐产品或体验，让其他人有兴趣去尝试。)”可知，“planting grass” 的意思是种草，也就是 “推荐”。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段 “By September 2023, more than 200,000 products spanning 100 industries had been discussed on Xiaohongshu, according to Xinhua. Around 51 percent of users on the platform were willing to try new brand products. Globally, platforms like Instagram have also driven recommendation-based marketing. Data analysis company Data Reportal revealed that in 2023, 62.2 percent of Instagram users followed or researched brands through the platform, highlighting its influence on purchasing behavior. (据新华社报道，截至 2023 年 9 月，小红书上讨论的产品超过 20 万种，涵盖 100 个行业。该平台约 51% 的用户愿意尝试新品牌产品。在全球范围内，像 Instagram 这样的平台也推动了基于推荐的营销。数据分析公司 Data Reportal 透露，2023 年，62.2% 的 Instagram 用户通过该平台关注或研究品牌，突显了它对购买行为的影响。）可知，该段通过列举在小红书上讨论的产品数量、愿意尝试新品牌产品的用户比例以及 Instagram 上相关用户的数据等，运用了列数据的方法来展开内容。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While“planting grass”can help the economy grow, it also carries some risks. Following trends without caution may lead to overcrowding and danger. A Polish couple who followed posts to check a viral photo spot fell off a cliff in Portugal while taking a selfie past a safety barrier several years ago. In Hong Kong, popular locations recommended on social media often attract tourists who crowd narrow sidewalks, blocking locals — particularly the elderly — from passing. (虽然 “种草” 可以帮助经济增长，但它也存在一些风险。不加谨慎地跟风可能会导致过度拥挤和危险。几年前，一对波兰夫妇跟随帖子去一个热门拍照地点打卡，在葡萄牙越过安全屏障自拍时从悬崖上摔了下来。在香港，社交媒体上推荐的热门地点经常吸引游客，他们挤满了狭窄的人行道，阻碍了当地人 —— 尤其是老年人 —— 通过。）可知，“种草” 存在风险是因为太多人盲目跟风追求潮流，导致了一系列问题。故选C。 D It seems you can ask artificial intelligence (AI) programs anything, and they’ll give you an answer. So, can they tell jokes? This question was raised when UK comedian Karen Hobbs performed in late June. Instead of the usual jokes she created, Hobbs delivered jokes written by ChatGPT. The process made her nervous. Hobbs said that when she asked ChatGPT for a joke, what it provided was a man joking about being impatient with his shopping-obsessed girlfriend. Even when she asked to switch to the woman’s perspective, the joke still featured a shopping-obsessed girlfriend, just told from the first-person perspective. It’s no surprise that many jokes come from a male perspective in online materials, as males dominate the field of comedy. The BBC commented that AI storytelling can only reproduce information that already exists in some form, although it can produce some never-before-seen combinations of ideas. “One way that AI can tell jokes is to do what any 5-year-old does — repeat a successful joke they have heard or try to make an obvious variation of it,” said Les Carr, a professor of web science. Nonetheless, a good joke in real life can always adjust to the audience’s feedback, which often leads comedians to improvise (即兴创作). This, unfortunately, is beyond the current capabilities of AI. For instance, in improv, there is no space for pre-arranged plan; the comedian must rely only on their instinctive (直觉的) reaction to the audience. “A well-done stand-up bit can lead the audience through a funny story all the way to a hilarious punchline (令人捧腹的妙语),” Michael Ryan, a student researching AI’s impact on comedy, explained to the BBC. “The whole time the comedian knew exactly where he or she was going with the joke and brought the audience there.” However, this could all change. Research is already ongoing to give AI a greater understanding of the world around it, which makes the future of AI jokes still uncertain. 12. What is Hobbs’ attitude toward the ability of AI to create jokes? A Neutral. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring. 13. What can be inferred according to this text? A. Men are in control of the humor industry. B. Females are much less humorous than males. C. Many jokes come from a male perspective online. D. AI provided a joke for Hobbs from the woman’s perspective. 14. What can artificial intelligence (AI) do with jokes? A. Combine any never-before-seen idea. B. Adapt some existing jokes to a certain extent. C. Rely on its instinctive reaction to the audience. D. Improvise jokes according to the audience’s feedback. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The future of AI jokes. B. The current capabilities of AI. C. What’s a truly great joke? D. Can AI be genuinely funny? 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章探讨了人工智能在喜剧领域的应用，特别是AI生成笑话的能力及其局限性。文章通过Karen Hobbs的实验，展示了AI在创作笑话时的不足，并讨论了AI未来在喜剧领域的潜力。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Instead of the usual jokes she created, Hobbs delivered jokes written by ChatGPT. The process made her nervous. (Hobbs没有像往常一样讲她自己编的笑话，而是讲了ChatGPT编写的笑话。这个过程让她很紧张。)”和第二段中“Even when she asked to switch to the woman’s perspective, the joke still featured a shopping-obsessed girlfriend, just told from the first-person perspective. (即使她要求切换到女性的视角，这个笑话仍然是一个痴迷于购物的女朋友，只是从第一人称的角度讲的。)”可知，Hobbs使用ChatGPT生成的笑话时感到紧张，且即使要求从女性视角改写，AI仍围绕刻板的“购物狂女友”展开。这表明她对AI的幽默创作能力持怀疑态度，故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It’s no surprise that many jokes come from a male perspective in online materials, as males dominate the field of comedy .(由于男性在喜剧领域占据主导地位，网络材料中有许多笑话来自男性视角也就不足为奇了。)”可知，许多网络笑话来自男性视角，故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The BBC commented that AI storytelling can only reproduce information that already exists in some form, although it can produce some never-before-seen combinations of ideas. (英国广播公司评论说，人工智能讲故事只能以某种形式再现已经存在的信息，尽管它可以产生一些从未见过的想法组合。)”可知，AI能有限度改编现有笑话，故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“It seems you can ask artificial intelligence (AI) programs anything, and they’ll give you an answer. So, can they tell jokes? (似乎你可以问人工智能（AI）程序任何问题，它们都会给你答案。那么，他们会讲笑话吗？)”可知，文围绕“AI能否真正创作幽默”展开，讨论其局限与未来可能性。选项D“人工智能真的能搞笑吗？”精准概括主题，适合作标题，故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sleep is the foundation of wellness.

The world is so flat today that when social media users ____37____ (deny) access to a platform, they will flow like quicksilver (水银) to another platform. According to statista. com, by October 2024, a total of 5.22 billion people, or 63.8 percent of the world’s population, had access to social media, ____38____ phenomenon that even the politicians of the world’s most powerful country cannot stem. With the app’s existence ____39____ (threaten), “TikTok refugees” have emerged. By threatening to block TikTok, US politicians are only driving its users to other social media platforms ____40____ have also been developed by Chinese companies. By threatening to ban TikTok, US politicians have helped xiaohongshu, a fully Chinese platform, to go global and that’s an opportunity xiaohongshu should make the most ____41____. It’s time xiaohongshu optimized (优化) its app, and improved its network services so that more US users can enjoy its content. Additionally, while xiaohongshu’s ____42____ (origin) user base was mostly Chinese users, the inflow of “TikTok refugees” opens a channel for it to spread Chinese culture around the world. More US users will get to know ____43____ the Chinese are talking about and make friends with the latter online, ____44____ (far) bridging the cultural gap across the Pacific. Xiaohongshu marks only the start for more Chinese social media platforms _____45_____ (get) more US users. WeChat, Sina Weibo, Douyin, Kuaishou should all prepare so they can be bridges for Sino-US cultural exchanges. 【答案】36. proves 37. are denied 38. a 39. threatened 40. that##which 41. of 42. original 43. what 44. further 45. to get 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了抖音在美国受阻，导致“抖音难民”开始涌向中国社交平台小红书，这为小红书走向世界打开了一扇窗户，也有助于缩小中美之间的文化鸿沟。 【36题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：在TikTok等待美国最高法院决定是否继续在美国运营之际，美国TikTok用户大量涌入中国社交媒体应用小红书，这证明了数字时代的世界确实是平坦的。句子描述的是客观事实，主语是“the huge flow of US TikTok users to Chinese social media app xiaohongshu”，是单数概念，所以谓语动词用一般现在时第三人称单数形式proves。故填proves。 【37题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：今天的世界是如此平坦，以至于当社交媒体用户被拒绝进入一个平台时，他们会像水银一样流向另一个平台。根据语境，这里表示社交媒体用户“被拒绝”访问一个平台，应用被动语态，且句子是一般现在时，主语“social media users” 是复数，所以用are denied。故填are denied。 【38题详解】 考查冠词。句意：据statista. com统计，到2024年10月，共有52.2亿人（占世界人口的63.8%）可以使用社交媒体，这一现象即使是世界上最强大的国家的政治家也无法阻止。根据句意可知，这里泛指“一种现象”，phenomenon 是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：随着这款应用的存在受到威胁，“TikTok难民”出现了。“With the app’s existence ____ (threaten)”是 with 的复合结构，the app’s existence与threaten 之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词threatened作宾语补足语。故填threatened。 【40题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：通过威胁屏蔽抖音，美国政客只会将其用户推向其他社交媒体平台，这些平台也是由中国公司开发的。分析句子可知，设空处引导定语从句，先行词是“other social media platforms”，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。 【41题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：通过威胁禁止TikTok，美国政客帮助小红书这个完全中国化的平台走向全球，这是小红书应该充分利用的机会。“make the most of”是固定短语，意为“充分利用”。故填of。 【42题详解】 考查形容词。句意：此外，虽然小红书最初的用户群主要是中国用户，但“抖音难民”的涌入为它在全球传播中国文化开辟了一个渠道。这里修饰名词user base，应用形容词 original，意为“最初的，原来的”。故填original。 【43题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：更多的美国用户将了解中国人在谈论什么，并在网上与后者交朋友，进一步弥合太平洋两岸的文化鸿沟。分析句子可知，设空处引导宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，表示“……的事情”，所以用what引导。故填what。 【44题详解】 考查副词。句意：更多的美国用户将了解中国人在谈论什么，并在网上与后者交朋友，进一步弥合太平洋两岸的文化鸿沟。这里表示“进一步”缩小太平洋两岸的文化差距，修饰动词 bridging，应用副词further。故填further。 【45题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：小红书只是更多中国社交媒体平台获得更多美国用户的开始。for more Chinese social media platforms ____ (get) more US users”是动词不定式的复合结构，“for sb./sth. to do sth.”表示“对于某人/某物来说做某事”，所以这里用 动词不定式to get。故填to get。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你的外国朋友Eric正在学习中文，他发邮箱分享了他的学习经历以及他语言学习所取得的进步，并且请你给他推荐一本适合他语言水平的中文读物。就此请你给他写一封邮件，内容包括： 1．祝贺他的进步； 2．读物推荐。 注意：1．词数80左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Eric, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Eric,​ I’m extremely thrilled to hear about your remarkable progress in Chinese!

Blankets of snow put the rest of the town in obscurity (模糊), and only the tops of tall steeples (塔尖) were visible. Snow and rain fell heavily, almost as if to escape the sky. The thick dove gray clouds blocked out any trace of dim sunlight from above. The town’s railway station was once a piece of architectural brilliance and recognized among other cities. However, time weathered it, and it was not as glorious as before. The whole station was infestive (节日的) mood during this time of year, as it contrasted well with the countless decorations of red and green that hung all over the place. The simple joys of the holiday season almost made up for the disagreeable winter. Despite the winter, the station was a hive of activity, with the footsteps of busy travelers; busy to get home for New Year. A young boy sat on a stiff wooden bench. He had curly blonde hair that reached his eyebrows and was dressed in a gray jacket and shiny black pants. His eyes, however, were almost difficult for one to look at, for they held a sadness far beyond what a boy his age would usually tolerate. For the boy had no home to go to this New Year. The passers-by paid no attention to him, as they bustles around the platform. Merry voices could be heard, but the boy just sat there in silence, lonely as a single star in the sky. He just sat there. After a while, the station became quieter, until only the presence of few could be seen. Still, the boy sat. “We wish you a Merry New Year…” From a distance, a chorus of voices singing carols (颂歌) could be heard. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Para 1: Kindly, a group of singing girls approached the boy. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: As he sang along with the girls, the stations changed around him. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Kindly, a group of singing girls approached the boy. He looked up. Among them, a girl with a gentle smile offered him a steaming cup of cocoa, whose warmth seeped through his fingers. “Would you like to join us?” she asked softly, her voice carrying the promise of friendship. A smile broke out on the boy’s face, as warm as a summer day. Standing up, “Thank you”, he said, sincerely. His voice contained hesitancy, but there was a feeling of hope. As he sang along with the girls, the station transformed around him. It was no longer a place of sadness but a beacon of hope. The night grew warmer, not from the weak lamp or the cocoa, but from the kindness of strangers that wrapped around him like a much-needed embrace. In that moment, he found a home, if not in a physical place, then in the hearts of those who chose to see and care. And as the clock struck midnight, ushering in the New Year, the boy knew he wasn’t alone anymore. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了寒冷的冬天，男孩坐在火车站的椅子上，因为这个男孩今年没有家可去。行人没有注意到他，他们都在站台上忙碌着。这时一个女孩友好地接近了男孩，邀请男孩一起唱颂歌。最后陌生人包围着男孩，让男孩感到了温暖，男孩知道他不再孤单了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一群唱歌的女孩友好地走近男孩”可知，第一段可描写女孩邀请男孩一起唱诵歌。 ②由第二段首句内容“当他和女孩们一起唱歌时，他周围的车站也发生了变化”可知，第二段可描写男孩和其他人一起唱颂歌，内心感到温暖。 2.续写线索：女孩走进男孩——邀请男孩——接受邀请——被陌生人包围——感到温暖——男孩感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/inquire ②包围：wrap around/surround ③知道：know/be aware of 情绪类 ①真诚：sincerely/heartfeltly ②犹豫：hesitancy/hesitation 【点睛】[高分句型1] Among them, a girl with a gentle smile offered him a steaming cup of cocoa, whose warmth seeped through his fingers. (由whose引导非限制性定语从句) [高分句型2] And as the clock struck midnight, ushering in the New Year, the boy knew he wasn’t alone anymore.

For further details, refer to the linked sources. Zhalong Nature Reserve Located in Heilongjiang Province, Zhalong is one of the world’s most important wetlands, providing a year-round habitat for numerous bird species. Its abundant fish supply ensures easy access to food for migratory (迁徙的) and resident birds, such as red-crowned cranes. However, habitat loss has endangered many birds, prompting the Chinese government to strengthen conservation efforts to protect these species. Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve This reserve in Jilin Province features adormant (休眠的) volcano and Tianchi Lake, the source of three major rivers. Recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere (生物圈) Reserve, it preserves a unique complex ecosystem with over 2,500 plant species and rare animals like Siberian tigers. Its vertical climate zones range from temperate forests to alpine tundra (高山苔原), making it a “natural museum” of biodiversity. Hengshui Lake National Nature Reserve Situated in Hebei, Hengshui Lake is a vital wetland ecosystem supporting migratory birds such as swans and cormorants. The lake’s richfreshwater resources maintain both wildlife and local communities. Conservation efforts here focus on balancing ecological health with sustainable development, ensuring the protection of its weak water-based habitats. Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve Famous for its subtropical forests in Fujian Province, Wuyi Mountain shelters endangered species like the Chinese giant salamander and golden monkey. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it combines geological wonders with cultural heritage, offering protected zones for rare animals and plants. Its dense forests and clean rivers witness China’s commitment to preserving natural landscapes. 1. Which of the following is well-known as a “natural museum” of biodiversity? A. Zhalong Nature Reserve. B. Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve. C. Hengshui Lake National Nature Reserve. D. Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve. 2. What do the 1st and 3rd reserves have in common? A. They supply enough food to migratory birds. B. They are recognized as UNESCO Biosphere Reserves. C. They are both focusing on the issue of numerous bird extinctions. D. They have both been included on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. 3. Where can you find this text? A. A travel guide brochure. B. An entertainment magazine. C. A school bulletin board. D. An eco-friendly website. B I have a long history with letter writing, beginning when I was 8 years old. My first pen pal was Abuela, my great-grandmother in Puerto Rico. Then I was writing to my sisters, friends from summer camp and even my husband. In a letter, there’s more heart involved and less hurry. It requires a pen, stamp, envelope and mailbox trip, unlike hurried texts or emails. Through my work as a biographer, I’ve observed how special letters can be. In one beautiful letter I read, 22-year-old Doug wrote to his bride-to-be, Mitch, about their future together: “Dance a little... walk together, enjoy each other’s company, laugh a little, cry a little.” Fifty-nine years later, as I read the faded ink on a rough page, I was moved by his timeless message. Although I met Doug as an 82-year-old during interviews, I truly knew him through letters he wrote to Mitch. His pure devotion to her was clear in every letter, right up to when she was moved to a memory care unit, unable to recognize him anymore. After I finished writing Doug’s life story, we stayed in touch by phone, but more often we wrote letters to each other purely because it brought us mutual joy. Last Tuesday, when a letter arrived from Doug’s son, Bruce, my heart sank. Bruce’s letter announcing Doug’s death also included an unfinished one from Doug addressed to me. It was clear that he had struggled to write it with his shaky hands, making his effort even more touching. This small simple pleasure in life-letter writing is something I’m unwilling to give up, despite the hustle and bustle and busyness of the ever-spinning (不断旋转的) world around me. I’m sure I’ll also do it until my dying days. 4. To whom did the author originally write a letter? A. Her great-grandma. B. Her sister. C. Her friend. D. Her husband. 5. What can we know about Doug through his letters? A. His letters are special due to his sense of humour. B. He persisted in writing letters for a total of 59 years. C. His letters to Mitch are heavy with his love for his wife. D. He only wrote letters to his wife Mitch throughout his life. 6. How did the author feel after reading the unfinished letter from Doug? A. Shocked. B. Grieving. C. Unexpected. D. Affected. 7. What does the author want to convey in this text? A. Her friendship with Doug is unforgettable. B. People are encouraged to write letters only. C. Letter writing involves a more personal touch. D. Letter writing wastes too much of our precious time. C In a typical residential area of Hong Kong, the basketball courts at Kennedy Town Playground are surprisingly busy — not with players, but with tourists. Located on a hill, the courts provide great views of the Hong Kong skyline, making them an unexpected attraction. This trend began with a hot post on the social media platform Xiaohongshu, turning the playground into a unique spot for photo opportunities. The post gathered over 13,000 likes and 15,000 saves, illustrating the concept of “planting grass”. “Planting grass”, or zhongcao, refers to recommending products or experiences to make others interested in trying them. This phenomenon has become a key driver of tourism and commerce, creating what’s now called the “grass planting economy”, which means recommendation-based business models. By September 2023, more than 200,000 products spanning 100 industries had been discussed on Xiaohongshu, according to Xinhua. Around 51 percent of users on the platform were willing to try new brand products. Globally, platforms like Instagram have also driven recommendation-based marketing. Data analysis company Data Reportal revealed that in 2023, 62.2 percent of Instagram users followed or researched brands through the platform, highlighting its influence on purchasing behavior. In Fujian, the popularity of a folk tradition known as zanhuawei has turned Quanzhou into a vibrant cultural destination. Similarly, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi, famous for its porcelain art, has become popular among young travelers due to “planting grass” posts. The charm of this model comes from how real it feels: Millions of users act as city ambassadors, sharing personal recommendations. Different from traditional tours, the trips described in these posts feature the hidden charm of the cities and build meaningful connections with local culture, boosting tourism, according to Xinhua. While “planting grass” can help the economy grow, it also carries some risks. Following trends without caution may lead to overcrowding and danger. A Polish couple who followed posts to check a viral photo spot fell off a cliff in Portugal while taking a selfie past a safety barrier several years ago. In Hong Kong, popular locations recommended on social media often attract tourists who crowd narrow sidewalks, blocking locals — particularly the elderly — from passing. 8. What is the writer’s purpose of mentioning the basketball courts in paragraph 1? A. To post a viral photo spot in Hong Kong. B. To capture the reader’s interest. C. To gather as many likes as possible. D. To introduce the topic of the text. 9. What does the underlined word “planting grass” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Highlighting a scenic spot. B. Making recommendations. C. Stimulating economic development. D. Promoting products actively. 10 How is the 4th paragraph developed? A. By listing statistics. B. By giving a definition. C. By classifying facts. D. By explaining the process. 11. Why does “planting grass” carry many risks according to this text? A. Because it can lead to some threats to safety. B. Because it lets users spread misinformation to gather likes. C. Because too many people are attracted to pursue trends blindly. D. Because popular locations are crowded with a large number of tourists. D It seems you can ask artificial intelligence (AI) programs anything, and they’ll give you an answer. So, can they tell jokes? This question was raised when UK comedian Karen Hobbs performed in late June. Instead of the usual jokes she created, Hobbs delivered jokes written by ChatGPT. The process made her nervous. Hobbs said that when she asked ChatGPT for a joke, what it provided was a man joking about being impatient with his shopping-obsessed girlfriend. Even when she asked to switch to the woman’s perspective, the joke still featured a shopping-obsessed girlfriend, just told from the first-person perspective. It’s no surprise that many jokes come from a male perspective in online materials, as males dominate the field of comedy. The BBC commented that AI storytelling can only reproduce information that already exists in some form, although it can produce some never-before-seen combinations of ideas. “One way that AI can tell jokes is to do what any 5-year-old does — repeat a successful joke they have heard or try to make an obvious variation of it,” said Les Carr, a professor of web science. Nonetheless, a good joke in real life can always adjust to the audience’s feedback, which often leads comedians to improvise (即兴创作). This, unfortunately, is beyond the current capabilities of AI. For instance, in improv, there is no space for pre-arranged plan; the comedian must rely only on their instinctive (直觉的) reaction to the audience. “A well-done stand-up bit can lead the audience through a funny story all the way to a hilarious punchline (令人捧腹的妙语),” Michael Ryan, a student researching AI’s impact on comedy, explained to the BBC. “The whole time the comedian knew exactly where he or she was going with the joke and brought the audience there.” However, this could all change. Research is already ongoing to give AI a greater understanding of the world around it, which makes the future of AI jokes still uncertain. 12. What is Hobbs’ attitude toward the ability of AI to create jokes? A. Neutral. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring. 13. What can be inferred according to this text? A. Men are in control of the humor industry. B. Females are much less humorous than males. C. Many jokes come from a male perspective online. D. AI provided a joke for Hobbs from the woman’s perspective. 14. What can artificial intelligence (AI) do with jokes? A. Combine any never-before-seen idea. B. Adapt some existing jokes to a certain extent. C. Rely on its instinctive reaction to the audience. D. Improvise jokes according to the audience’s feedback. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The future of AI jokes. B. The current capabilities of AI. C What’s a truly great joke? D. Can AI be genuinely funny? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sleep is the foundation of wellness. However, millions of people struggle to get quality rest.

Blankets of snow put the rest of the town in obscurity (模糊), and only the tops of tall steeples (塔尖) were visible. Snow and rain fell heavily, almost as if to escape the sky. The thick dove gray clouds blocked out any trace of dim sunlight from above. The town’s railway station was once a piece of architectural brilliance and recognized among other cities. However, time weathered it, and it was not as glorious as before. The whole station was infestive (节日的) mood during this time of year, as it contrasted well with the countless decorations of red and green that hung all over the place. The simple joys of the holiday season almost made up for the disagreeable winter. Despite the winter, the station was a hive of activity, with the footsteps of busy travelers; busy to get home for New Year. A young boy sat on a stiff wooden bench. He had curly blonde hair that reached his eyebrows and was dressed in a gray jacket and shiny black pants. His eyes, however, were almost difficult for one to look at, for they held a sadness far beyond what a boy his age would usually tolerate. For the boy had no home to go to this New Year. The passers-by paid no attention to him, as they bustles around the platform. Merry voices could be heard, but the boy just sat there in silence, lonely as a single star in the sky. He just sat there. After a while, the station became quieter, until only the presence of few could be seen. Still, the boy sat. “We wish you a Merry New Year…” From a distance, a chorus of voices singing carols (颂歌) could be heard. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Para 1: Kindly a group of singing girls approached the boy. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: As he sang along with the girls, the stations changed around him. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
