My parents were excellent cooks. Growing up, I enjoyed being in the kitchen with them. It was a place where I could relax myself, be creative and have fun. In September of 2020, I started a side business in São Paulo selling bread, sauces and other foods online. At the same time, my husband and I were revisiting our dream of living abroad. Canada seemed like the perfect choice because of its diverse (多样的) food culture.
I chose to study culinary (烹饪的) management at George Brown College, one of Canada’s top culinary schools. I started my two-year program in September 2022. The program included business courses, such as human resources, and marketing, as well as hands-on cooking classes. I learned skills to be a cook, like working with flavors (味道), and how to prepare large amounts of food. Some days, I was on my feet from 7 am to 5 pm, but my heart was filled with happiness. Being in a kitchen invigorated me. I knew that cooking was what I wanted to do.
During my studies, I had some exciting opportunities. I was a finalist in a school cooking competition, where I made salpicao, a traditional Brazilian turkey salad. In April 2024, I entered a cooking competition hosted by Cookin, an app where chefs sell and deliver meals. I created a Brazilian-inspired menu, with dishes from the countryside to the coast, including pulled pork with guava jam and chips. I was one of the winners and got to run an online store, Flavia’s Taste of Brazil, for a week. Using the college’s kitchen, I completed 25 orders, preparing a total of 41 meals.
Going back to college wasn’t just about learning the hard skills of cooking. It gave me courage and confidence to go for my love.

Wu Xiong, a 40-year-old headmaster, has spent 20 years turning a once-deserted rural school in the mountains into a center for sports and education.
In 2004, Wu became headmaster of Tangfang Primary School in Baling Town, Guizhou Province. At that time, the school was merely an old house, with 3 teachers and 75 students. Worse still, many children showed little interest in attending school. To address this issue, Wu had an idea: sports. In 2006, the school held its first sports meeting. “We carried a cement slab (水泥板) from 1.5 kilometers away and used wooden boards as a net for a table tennis competition,” Wu recalled.
With more money put into education, Tangfang Primary School got better facilities, but Wu still felt it necessary for students to participate in sporting activities. Now, basketball hoops (篮圈) are designed in three different sizes to suit students of different age groups, while sports equipment storage facilities are never locked up. Wu also makes it a rule that PE cannot yield to other subjects.
Now, students have at least 2.5 hours set aside every day for physical activities. Among the 469 students of the school, only six wear glasses. Meanwhile, by participating in various sports competitions, the students learn how to deal with wins and losses properly. According to a recent report, the school's average scores have risen from below 30 in 2004 to over 80 in 2023. Sports have offered the students another way out of the mountains. More than 100 graduates of the school have entered middle schools as sports-focused students.
Wu hopes that the happy school memories will help graduates stay connected to their hometown and get ready for their future.
8. What inspired Wu to think of sports as a solution?
A. Rich sports resources. B. Requirements from teachers.
C. Students' lack of interest in study. D. Children's stress from examinations.
9. What does the underlined phrase "yield to" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Compare with. B. Give in to.
C Contribute to. D. Take the place of.
10. Why does the author list the numbers in Paragraph 4?
A. To show progress in grades. B. To highlight influences of sports.
C. To stress the importance of study. D. To introduce types of sports activities.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Headmaster Transformed School With Sports B. A Unique Physical Education Class
C. Students Made Breakthroughs in Competition D. The Life Story of a Headmaster
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕吴雄校长通过体育改变乡村学校的故事展开,重点描述了他如何利用体育提升学生的兴趣、健康和学业成绩。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“Worse still, many children showed little interest in attending school. To address this issue, Wu had an idea: sports.(更糟糕的是,许多孩子对上学没什么兴趣。为了解决这个问题,吴有了一个想法:体育)”可知,吴校长想到用体育来解决学生对学习缺乏兴趣的问题。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文的句子“With more money put into education, Tangfang Primary School got better facilities, but Wu still felt it necessary for students to participate in sporting activities.(随着更多的资金投入到教育中,堂坊小学得到了更好的设施,但吴仍然认为学生参加体育活动是必要的)”和空格前的“Wu also makes it a rule that PE cannot(吴还规定体育课不能)”可知,因为吴校长认为学生参加体育活动是必要的,所以他肯定是规定体育课不能给其它科目让步,所以划线短语yield to的意义为“屈服;让步”,与give in to意义一致。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的内容“Now, students have at least 2.5 hours set aside every day for physical activities. Among the 469 students of the school, only six wear glasses. Meanwhile, by participating in various sports competitions, the students learn how to deal with wins and losses properly. According to a recent report, the school's average scores have risen from below 30 in 2004 to over 80 in 2023. Sports have offered the students another way out of the mountains. More than 100 graduates of the school have entered middle schools as sports-focused students.(现在,学生们每天至少有2.5小时的时间用于体育活动。在学校的469名学生中,只有6人戴眼镜。同时,通过参加各种体育比赛,学生们学会了如何正确处理输赢。根据最近的一份报告,该校的平均分数从2004年的不到30分上升到2023年的80多分。体育运动为学生们走出大山提供了另一条出路。该校100多名毕业生以体育学生的身份进入了中学)”可推知,这些数据列举了学生的近视率低、学业成绩提升和体育特长生的升学情况,旨在强调体育对学生发展的积极影响。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,特别是第一段“Wu Xiong, a 40-year-old headmaster, has spent 20 years turning a once-deserted rural school in the mountains into a center for sports and education.(40岁的校长吴雄花了20年时间,把一所曾经荒废的山区农村学校变成了一个体育和教育中心)”可知,全文围绕吴校长通过体育改变乡村学校的故事展开,重点描述了他如何利用体育提升学生的兴趣、健康和学业成绩。由此可知,A项“Headmaster Transformed School With Sports(校长用体育改变了学校)”作为本文的题目,与文章主题相符合。故选A项。
D
We used to write with a pen. Now we generally write on a computer with the help of keyboard. In this digital age, artificial intelligence has become a new type of “pen” which we use to analyze, write and present everything from an article, a thesis, a research paper to a company report, and things alike.
Since writing is an essential part of academic life, and since students struggle to produce quality papers, AI powered writing is gaining popularity on campuses. AI is so powerful that it can help with idea development, research design, content development, literature review, data management, as well as help with editing and reviewing of books. AI-powered writing can improve the grammar, structure, and help with citation s and consistency to disciplinary standards. Therefore, AI tools can help students, teachers and researchers to overcome the challenges of academic writing, boost research productivity and improve efficiency.
However, AI may seem human, but it is not. It may appear accurate, yet it isn’t. It may look intelligent, yet it is not. It may also seem to understand, but it can’t. An analysis done with the help of AI tools with seemingly high efficiency can be neither valid (有效的) nor reliable. Although AI can help write a seemingly nicely structured, grammatically correct and even precisely referenced paper, its research results can’t be accepted as authentic (真实的), because they cannot fully meet the real purpose of research or education as a whole.
That is why many universities have been keeping students from using AI tools for academic writing, and have conducted rules limiting, if not altogether banning the use of Generative AI in academic writing. According to a survey of the world’s 100 top universities by Scriber on their attitude to AI writing tools, 18 percent have banned the use of ChatGPT, although individual instructors could allow its use, 27 percent have no clear guidance or policy, and 51 percent have left the decision on individual instructors. Only 4 percent of the universities allow the use of AI (with citation) unless instructors forbid it.
12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The importance of academic writing.
B. The potential users of AI-powered writing.
C. The challenges faced by researchers and scholars.
D. The popularity of AI-powered writing on campuses.
13. What may be the author’s attitude towards a research report written by AI?
A. Negative. B. Dismissive. C. Positive. D. Unclear.
14. Who have the right to decide the use of Al in academic writing in most universities?
A. Fund sponsors. B. Individual instructors.
C. Would-be graduates. D. Producers of AI tools.
15. Which idiom can best describe AI-powered writing?
A. A wet blanket. B. A pie in the sky.
C. A double-edged sword. D. A big fish in a small pond.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。短文主要介绍了AI赋能学术写作在大学里的现状。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Since writing is an essential part of academic life, and since students struggle to produce quality papers, AI powered writing is gaining popularity on campuses.”( 由于写作是学术生活的重要组成部分,而且学生们很难写出高质量的论文,因此人工智能写作在校园里越来越受欢迎。)以及“Therefore, AI tools can help students, teachers and researchers to overcome the challenges of academic writing, boost research productivity and improve efficiency.”( 因此,人工智能工具可以帮助学生、教师和研究人员克服学术写作的挑战,提高研究生产力,提高效率。)可知,第二段主要讲述了AI写作在校园中的流行。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段内容,尤其是“Although AI can help write a seemingly nicely structured, grammatically correct and even precisely referenced paper, its research results can’t be accepted as authentic (真实的), because they cannot fully meet the real purpose of research or education as a whole.”(虽然人工智能可以帮助写出一篇看起来结构良好,语法正确,甚至引用准确的论文,但它的研究结果并不能被认为是真实的,因为它们不能完全满足研究或教育的真正目的。)可知,作者对AI写作的研究报告持否定态度。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“According to a survey of the world’s 100 top universities by Scriber on their attitude to AI writing tools, 18 percent have banned the use of ChatGPT, although individual instructors could allow its use, 27 percent have no clear guidance or policy, and 51 percent have left the decision on individual instructors.”(根据Scriber对全球100所顶尖大学对人工智能写作工具态度的调查,18%的大学禁止使用ChatGPT,尽管个别教师可以允许使用,27%的大学没有明确的指导或政策,51%的大学将决定权留给了个别教师。)可知,大多数大学由个别导师决定是否使用AI进行学术写作。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Since writing is an essential part of academic life, and since students struggle to produce quality papers, AI powered writing is gaining popularity on campuses. AI is so powerful that it can help with idea development, research design, content development, literature review, data management, as well as help with editing and reviewing of books. AI-powered writing can improve the grammar, structure, and help with citation s and consistency to disciplinary standards.”(由于写作是学术生活的重要组成部分,而且学生们很难写出高质量的论文,因此人工智能写作在校园里越来越受欢迎。人工智能是如此强大,它可以帮助思想发展,研究设计,内容开发,文献综述,数据管理,以及帮助编辑和评论书籍。人工智能写作可以改善语法、结构,并有助于引用和保持学科标准的一致性。)和第三段“However, AI may seem human, but it is not. It may appear accurate, yet it isn’t. It may look intelligent, yet it is not. It may also seem to understand, but it can’t. An analysis done with the help of AI tools with seemingly high efficiency can be neither valid (有效的) nor reliable.”(然而,人工智能可能看起来像人类,但它不是。它可能看起来很准确,但事实并非如此。它可能看起来很聪明,但其实不然。它似乎也能理解,但它不能。借助看似高效的人工智能工具完成的分析既不有效也不可靠。)可知,AI写作既有优点也有缺点,最能描述这种情况的成语是“双刃剑”。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了由北京故宫博物院主办的“永恒之线”展览,由古代丝绸艺术品和人工智能重现的唐代绘画组成,揭示了技术如何重新诠释中国的艺术遗产。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:由北京故宫博物院主办的“永恒之线”展览,由古代丝绸艺术品和人工智能重现的唐代绘画组成,揭示了技术如何重新诠释中国的艺术遗产。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰an exhibition,an exhibition和consist of为主动关系,所以为现在分词形式。故填consisting。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:这个想法起源于2020年,当时学者们的目标是动态地将经典技术与现代工具联系起来。根据时间状语“in 2020”可知,句子时态应用一般过去时,所以填originate 的过去式originated。故填originated。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:这个想法起源于2020年,当时学者们的目标是动态地将经典技术与现代工具联系起来。此处修饰动词“bridge”应用副词形式,dynamic的副词是dynamically,意为 “动态地;有活力地”。故填dynamically。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:例如,一件明代的缝纫作品展示了马可波罗的旅程。根据句意以及空后Ming Dynasty sewing为单数名词可知,此处为泛指“一件明代的缝纫作品”,结合Ming为首音节辅音单词,所以为不定冠词a的填入。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意:中央展厅展示了代表中国四大朝代的文物,让游客通过虚拟现实与历史互动。此处表示“作为四个主要中国朝代的代表”,“representative”是可数名词,根据“four major Chinese dynasties”可知应用复数形式representatives。故填representatives。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意:中央展厅展示了代表中国四大朝代的文物,让游客通过虚拟现实与历史互动。“involve oneself in...”是固定短语,意为“使自己参与……”,主语是“visitors”,所以用反身代词 themselves。故填themselves。
【42题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:一个由熟练工匠组成的修复团队利用3D扫描技术,将褪色的墨迹景观重现。“employ sth. to do sth.”是固定用法,意为“使用某物做某事”,所以用动词不定式to bring。故填to bring。
【43题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:这次展览之所以具有革命性,是因为它强调年轻人的参与。分析句子可知,“____ makes the exhibition revolutionary” 是主语从句,从句中缺少主语,且表示 “…… 的事情”,所以用 What 引导该主语从句。故填What。
【44题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:这次展览之所以具有革命性,是因为它强调年轻人的参与。“emphasis on...”是固定短语,意为“对…… 的强调”。故填on。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:自2024年首次亮相以来,“永恒之线”吸引了全球的目光,证明了古代艺术可以与尖端技术产生共鸣。根据“Since its first appearance in 2024”可知,句子时态应用现在完成时,“global attention”和“draw”之间是被动关系,所以用现在完成时的被动语态,即has been drawn。故填has been drawn。

My day didn’t begin well when I discovered water coming out of the washing machine had destroyed my brand-new carpet. So, I shouted angrily at my husband, who played card games last night instead of repairing the washing machine.
Then, I saw my six-old-year-son Jonathan touching limb(大树枝) of my azalea(杜鹃)bush. Before I could stop it, he’d broken it. “Can I take the flowers to school today?” he asked. With a wave of my hand, I sent him off. I turned my back so that he wouldn’t see the tears gathering in my eyes.
It was days like this that made me want to give up. I just wanted to drive up to the mountains, hide in a cave, and never come out. The rest of the day, I washed and dried clothes, thinking how love had disappeared from my life. Then, I looked at the clock. It was 2: 30. I was late. Jonathan’s class finished at 2: 15 and I hurriedly drove to the school.
I was out of breath when I arrived at the teacher’s door. The teacher rushed through the door and took me aside. “I want to talk to you about Jonathan,” she said. I prepared myself for the worst. “Do you know Jonathan brought flowers to school today?” she asked. I nodded, thinking about my favorite azalea bush. “Let me tell you about yesterday,” the teacher said. “See that little girl?” I noticed a bright-eyed girl laughing there. I nodded.
She continued, “Well, her parents are always quarreling. Yesterday she told me she didn’t want to live. I watched her bury her face in her hands and say loud enough for the class to hear, ‘Nobody loves me.’ I did all I could to comfort her, but it only seemed to make things worse.” “Did Jonathan do anything to help?” I asked. “Yes,” the teacher said firmly.
Paragraph 1:
Then, the teacher told me what happened.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Later that evening, I was looking at the azaleas when I heard the familiar sound of my husband’s brakes(刹车).
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then, the teacher told me what happened. This morning, my son walked straight over to that little girl, handed her some pretty pink flowers and said, “I love you,” she looked at Jonathan gratefully, with tears streaming down her cheeks. Then he patted her on the shoulder and sat by her side for a long time. It was my son that helped rebuild her faith! My heart was filled with pride for what my son had done. I found Jonathan, reached for his hand and whispered, “Thank you. You’ve made my day.”
Later that evening, I was looking at the azaleas when I heard the familiar sound of my husband's brakes. I immediately picked some pink azaleas off the bush. My husband’s eyes widened in surprise as I handed him the flowers and said, “I love you.” I then explained, “Today, Jonathan comforted a little girl by giving her azaleas. I’ve learned a lesson that we should put love into practice.” My husband hugged me tightly in tears. Thanks to Jonathan, the seed of love that had been planted in my family began to bloom once again in us.

My parents were excellent cooks. Growing up, I enjoyed being in the kitchen with them. It was a place where I could relax myself, be creative and have fun. In September of 2020, I started a side business in São Paulo selling bread, sauces and other foods online. At the same time, my husband and I were revisiting our dream of living abroad. Canada seemed like the perfect choice because of its diverse (多样的) food culture.
I chose to study culinary (烹饪的) management at George Brown College, one of Canada’s top culinary schools. I started my two-year program in September 2022. The program included business courses, such as human resources, and marketing, as well as hands-on cooking classes. I learned skills to be a cook, like working with flavors (味道), and how to prepare large amounts of food. Some days, I was on my feet from 7 am to 5 pm, but my heart was filled with happiness. Being in a kitchen invigorated me. I knew that cooking was what I wanted to do.
During my studies, I had some exciting opportunities. I was a finalist in a school cooking competition, where I made salpicao, a traditional Brazilian turkey salad. In April 2024, I entered a cooking competition hosted by Cookin, an app where chefs sell and deliver meals. I created a Brazilian-inspired menu, with dishes from the countryside to the coast, including pulled pork with guava jam and chips. I was one of the winners and got to run an online store, Flavia’s Taste of Brazil, for a week. Using the college’s kitchen, I completed 25 orders, preparing a total of 41 meals.
Going back to college wasn’t just about learning the hard skills of cooking. It gave me courage and confidence to go for my love.

Wu Xiong, a 40-year-old headmaster, has spent 20 years turning a once-deserted rural school in the mountains into a center for sports and education.
In 2004, Wu became headmaster of Tangfang Primary School in Baling Town, Guizhou Province. At that time, the school was merely an old house, with 3 teachers and 75 students. Worse still, many children showed little interest in attending school. To address this issue, Wu had an idea: sports. In 2006, the school held its first sports meeting. “We carried a cement slab (水泥板) from 1.5 kilometers away and used wooden boards as a net for a table tennis competition,” Wu recalled.
With more money put into education, Tangfang Primary School got better facilities, but Wu still felt it necessary for students to participate in sporting activities. Now, basketball hoops (篮圈) are designed in three different sizes to suit students of different age groups, while sports equipment storage facilities are never locked up. Wu also makes it a rule that PE cannot yield to other subjects.
Now, students have at least 2.5 hours set aside every day for physical activities. Among the 469 students of the school, only six wear glasses. Meanwhile, by participating in various sports competitions, the students learn how to deal with wins and losses properly. According to a recent report, the school's average scores have risen from below 30 in 2004 to over 80 in 2023. Sports have offered the students another way out of the mountains. More than 100 graduates of the school have entered middle schools as sports-focused students.
Wu hopes that the happy school memories will help graduates stay connected to their hometown and get ready for their future.
8. What inspired Wu to think of sports as a solution?
A. Rich sports resources. B. Requirements from teachers.
C. Students' lack of interest in study. D. Children's stress from examinations.
9. What does the underlined phrase "yield to" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Compare with. B. Give in to.
C. Contribute to. D. Take the place of.
10 Why does the author list the numbers in Paragraph 4?
A. To show progress in grades. B. To highlight influences of sports.
C. To stress the importance of study. D. To introduce types of sports activities.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Headmaster Transformed School With Sports B. A Unique Physical Education Class
C. Students Made Breakthroughs in Competition D. The Life Story of a Headmaster
D
We used to write with a pen. Now we generally write on a computer with the help of keyboard. In this digital age, artificial intelligence has become a new type of “pen” which we use to analyze, write and present everything from an article, a thesis, a research paper to a company report, and things alike.
Since writing is an essential part of academic life, and since students struggle to produce quality papers, AI powered writing is gaining popularity on campuses. AI is so powerful that it can help with idea development, research design, content development, literature review, data management, as well as help with editing and reviewing of books. AI-powered writing can improve the grammar, structure, and help with citation s and consistency to disciplinary standards. Therefore, AI tools can help students, teachers and researchers to overcome the challenges of academic writing, boost research productivity and improve efficiency.
However, AI may seem human, but it is not. It may appear accurate, yet it isn’t. It may look intelligent, yet it is not. It may also seem to understand, but it can’t. An analysis done with the help of AI tools with seemingly high efficiency can be neither valid (有效的) nor reliable. Although AI can help write a seemingly nicely structured, grammatically correct and even precisely referenced paper, its research results can’t be accepted as authentic (真实的), because they cannot fully meet the real purpose of research or education as a whole.
That is why many universities have been keeping students from using AI tools for academic writing, and have conducted rules limiting, if not altogether banning the use of Generative AI in academic writing. According to a survey of the world’s 100 top universities by Scriber on their attitude to AI writing tools, 18 percent have banned the use of ChatGPT, although individual instructors could allow its use, 27 percent have no clear guidance or policy, and 51 percent have left the decision on individual instructors. Only 4 percent of the universities allow the use of AI (with citation) unless instructors forbid it.
12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The importance of academic writing.
B. The potential users of AI-powered writing.
C. The challenges faced by researchers and scholars.
D. The popularity of AI-powered writing on campuses.
13 What may be the author’s attitude towards a research report written by AI?
A. Negative. B. Dismissive. C. Positive. D. Unclear.

My day didn’t begin well when I discovered water coming out of the washing machine had destroyed my brand-new carpet. So, I shouted angrily at my husband, who played card games last night instead of repairing the washing machine.
Then, I saw my six-old-year-son Jonathan touching limb(大树枝) of my azalea(杜鹃)bush. Before I could stop it, he’d broken it. “Can I take the flowers to school today?” he asked. With a wave of my hand, I sent him off. I turned my back so that he wouldn’t see the tears gathering in my eyes.
It was days like this that made me want to give up. I just wanted to drive up to the mountains, hide in a cave, and never come out. The rest of the day, I washed and dried clothes, thinking how love had disappeared from my life. Then, I looked at the clock. It was 2: 30. I was late. Jonathan’s class finished at 2: 15 and I hurriedly drove to the school.
I was out of breath when I arrived at the teacher’s door. The teacher rushed through the door and took me aside. “I want to talk to you about Jonathan,” she said. I prepared myself for the worst. “Do you know Jonathan brought flowers to school today?” she asked. I nodded, thinking about my favorite azalea bush. “Let me tell you about yesterday,” the teacher said. “See that little girl?” I noticed a bright-eyed girl laughing there. I nodded.
She continued, “Well, her parents are always quarreling. Yesterday she told me she didn’t want to live. I watched her bury her face in her hands and say loud enough for the class to hear, ‘Nobody loves me.’ I did all I could to comfort her, but it only seemed to make things worse.” “Did Jonathan do anything to help?” I asked. “Yes,” the teacher said firmly.
Paragraph 1:
Then, the teacher told me what happened.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Later that evening, I was looking at the azaleas when I heard the familiar sound of my husband’s brakes(刹车).
