The trains make almost no noise and run without 77 . Germany is planning to 78 many of its diesel (柴油) trains with hydrogen trains. Recently, five hydrogen-powered trains were put 79 use in Germany. Hydrogen is the simplest known element. It’s so 80 that it can be got without much effort. Hydrogen can be used to create electricity by 81 it with oxygen in a “fuel cell (燃料电池)”. Electricity of the new kind of train will never 82 as long as it has hydrogen. The oxygen 83 from the air around the train. The 84 part is that, when a fuel cell creates electricity, it doesn’t create pollution. The only thing it gives off is 85 , which comes out as steam (水蒸气). The hydrogen-powered trains are 86 by electricity created by hydrogen fuel cells. Because the motor (发动机) is electric, the trains run almost 87 .

But since the trains can go about 1,000 kilometers 90 they need more fuel, they only need to fill up once a day. The trains can run at 140 kilometers per hour.

On January 20, DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. It can help people find information and summarize (总结) it, solve math problems, write code, and answer questions like top models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT. This made the whole world completely surprised, because it costs much less to build. Even top scientist said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.” The animated (动画) movie “Ne Zha 2”, released on Januray 29, has become the top-grossing movie in China. Directed by Yang Yu, widely known as “jiaozi”, it continues the exciting story of Ne Zha and Ao Bing from the first movie. Besides the high-quality animation and the interesting story, the movie also gives us a really cool visual (视觉) experience. It encourages people to stay brave when facing difficulties, fight for rightness and value friendship. The “Yangko Bot” performance was really amazing in the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Snake on January 28. It mixed traditional Chinese yangko dance with modern robot technology. These robots could not only turn their hands and arms easily and copy human actions, but also spin handkerchiefs (转手帕) skillfully. It won the hearts of millions. On social media, topics like “Robot Yangko” trended quickly. Young viewers call it “cool”, while older audiences loved its humor and festival spirit. 37．Which event happened earliest in 2025 according to the passages? A．DeepSeek-R1 AI was introduced to the public. B．The movie Ne Zha2 became China’s top-grossing film. C．The Yangko Bot performance amazed Spring Festival viewers. D．Scientists discussed the cost of robot technology. 38．What can DeepSeek-R1 do according to the passage? A．Create animated movies like Ne Zha2. B．Help find information, solve math problems, and write code. C．Teach people to fight for rightness and value friendship. D．Spin handkerchiefs skillfully like Yangko Bots. 39．What lesson can we learn from the movie Ne Zha2? A．Protecting the environment is very important now. B．We should never forget history. C．Being brave, fighting for what’s right, and caring about friends. D．Robots will do creative work instead of humans. We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. However, there’s always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst. When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult. Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so but because we realize it’s for our own good. Happy people don’t just accept change; they embrace (拥抱) it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change. Jane always tells everyone that she doesn’t have the courage to be around groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it! Self-improvement may not be everybody’s favorite word, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy. 40．The writer thinks the only time people think of unlocking their self-improvement power is ________ . A．reaching a point B．being ready for change C．not seeing it D．when it gets worse 41．The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2. to________. A．show his knowledge by more examples. B．attract people’s attention and interest. C．show us life fails us when we get into the wrong way. D．tell us life is a long journey full of ups and downs. 42．What is the key to solving Jane’s problem? A．She needs to remember why she started. B．She has to know how to get on with people. C．She has to realize she is not what she is in her story. D．She needs to understand the importance of confidence. 43．Which of the following is TRUE? A．The world tells us how to improve ourselves. B．People change when they find it easy to do that. C．People fear change because they get used to the way they were. D．Enjoying the process of self-improvement makes life simpler. 44．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．To set free ourselves out of the box or to stay in it? B．To hold on to the last moment or to give up? C．Is it necessary to embrace challenges? D．Is it important to take things light? XBOX 360 Kinetic. RoboSapien. Wii Party. These are just a few of the modern toys sold in recent years. But some of the most popular toys are actually quite old. Games have been around for thousands of years. In 4000 BC, Babylonians (巴比伦人) played a board game that was similar to chess. Yo-yos made of stone were first used in ancient Greece·around 1000 BC． And kites appeared in China around the same time. Another famous game is Scrabble (拼词游戏). It was invented by an architect in the 1930s,but it didn’t get popular until 1953. And since then, more than 100 million sets have been sold worldwide. As you can imagine, toys and games are a multi-billion-dollar business. Mr. Potato Head, the first toy advertised on TV, got more than $4 million in its first year. Play-Doh made its inventor Joseph McVicker a millionaire by his 27th birthday, while Mattel sells 1.5 million Barbie dolls each week (that’s two dolls each second!). Some toys go out of fashion, but then become popular again, such as Rubik’s Cube (魔方). Research says parents are increasingly choosing to buy toys they remember from their own childhood. These days, toys are not just for fun. RoboSapien is a remote-controlled robot that appeared in 2004. He can walk, turn around and do other poses, and was designed by Mark Tilden, who once created robots for NASA space missions (任务). He expected the toy to be used mostly by schools and scientists, but almost 2 million Robosapiens have been sold worldwide since it’s produced as a toy.

Nowadays, you can’t have too many cockroaches, I say. There are 4,000 species of us: Asian, American, German…I hope you get to meet them all someday. ⑥As the saying goes, “No cross, no crown.” Nobody can succeed without hard work. Scientists are always trying to find out ways to kill all of us…ha! Poison (毒药), heat, cold... whatever they throw at us, we just get stronger and live better. Bring it on!

But without it, almost all of our electronic products might not work. It’s the microchip (芯片)! It is one of the most important inventions in human history. How much do you know about microchips? Here are some basics for you to learn it. What are microchips? Microchips aren’t potato chips! They are very tiny electronic devices (设备) that people use to store and manage information. There are mainly two types of microchips: logic chips and memory chips. Logic chips are like the “brain” of electronic devices-they deal with information to finish a task. Memory chips store information. How are microchips used? Microchips are in everything electrical from computers to cellphones, TVs, cameras, cars, airplanes, appliances and medical equipment. Microchips are also used in GPS tracking devices and identification cards and are used to keep track of activities and information. Microchips take and process digital information and make it usable straightaway. For example, a Central Processing Unit (CPU), or processor, is the main chip in a computer. It’s responsible for carrying out all the computer’s tasks. How small can microchips be? One microchip is smaller than a button on your shirt but it has billions of transistors (晶体管). So it’s easy to understand just how small the features on a chip need to be. Chip features are measured in nanometers (纳米). A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. The smaller the features in the patterns created, the more transistors can fit on a chip, and the more the chip can do. 54．What makes electronics think according to the passage? A．Microchips. B．Computers. C．GPS. D．Brains. 55．How many types of microchips are mentioned in the passage? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 56．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Microchips are in everything. B．Logic chips are used to store information. C．A button on your shirt has billions of transistors. D．CPU is responsible for carrying out all the computer’s tasks. 57．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A．The size of the microchips. B．The kinds of the microchips. C．The price of the microchips. D．The usage of the microchips. 58．In which part of a magazine can you most likely read the text? A．Science. B．Fashion. C．Health. D．Culture 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 Do you like travelling? Have you heard of volunteer travel? 11 The main purpose of volunteer travel is to take part in service opportunity to help others. During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. The volunteers may get free or cheap accommodation (住处), meals and clothes-washing, activities, or classes-because of their help. 12 However, volunteer travel dates back to the 1960s, when Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK founded Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO), an international volunteer organization, 13 But now, more volunteer trips have taken place within the volunteers’ own countries in recent years. Volunteer projects in the countryside are now attracting more visitors living in the cities as a break from the fast and stressful city lives. By doing voluntary work while traveling, travelers may make a real, positive influence on the world. 14 Another advantage of volunteer travel is that it helps people living in cities experience the life in the countryside. For those who are tired of city life but can’t move to the countryside, volunteer travel can be a way. On the one hand, travelers can relax themselves from their busy lives. 15 A．Traditionally, the volunteer activities take place in a foreign country. B．A lot of tourists come to the countryside every year. C．On the other hand, the countryside can get much by receiving more visitors for local tourism industries. D．The services volunteers provide can reduce the costs for the communities they serve. E．Do you know what volunteer travel means? F．They may go fishing or hiking when the weather is fine. G．These journeys seem only to be made in recent years by modern transport. 四、短文填空 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。（每空一词） The pilot, Antoine De Saint-Exupery, who wrote The Little Prince, died long ago, but the fictional pilot, who told the story, is as a 21 today as he was many years ago, along with his Prince, the fox, the rose and the snake. This timeless tale touches upon childhood and growing up. It opens with the reminder: All grow-ups were once c 22 — but few of them remember it. The pilot in this story loses that part of himself. A 23 a stay in the desert with the little prince, he finds his inner child again. It is a s 24 story with life lessons. Here are some. One only understands the things that one tames (驯服). Seeing the thousands of roses that look just like his rose makes the prince feel as if he was tricked by his f 25 . The fox shows him taming someone t 26 time. The prince understands the nature of relationships: the time he has wasted on his rose makes h 27 so important. The fox, as his parting(分别) gift, shares his secret with the prince: One can see rightly with the heart. What is very important and necessary can’t be s 28 . When the pilot shows his picture about the snake eating the elephant, adults only see it as a hat. Adults can’t see what’s i 29 the snake. What is outside is not what matters. This truth sets the little prince free. He decides to join his rose back on his planet. Has he returned to his planet and his r 30 ? The ending is in the imagination of every reader as well as the pilot. After all, it is a book with something for everyone. 五、书面表达 3．曾几何时，我们没有完成作业，却用谎言骗得了老师的谅解； 曾几何时，我们与父母、朋友争吵后，执拗地将“冷战” 进行到底； 曾几何时，我们没做到诚实守信，却表现得理直气壮……这些都是我们所做过的错事。但你是否反省过这些过错？做人应学会反省。反省才能发现不足，发现不足才能改正错误，改正错误才能进步，只有不断进步我们才能变得更好，更强大。请结合自身经历写一篇英语短文，分享你对自我反省的认识。 内容包括：◎The importance of introspection ◎Your experience ◎What can you learn from it? 要   求：1. 字数不少于80词； 2. 短文开头已给出，不计入总词数； 3. 文中不得出现真实的人名、校名。 Word Bank 欺骗cheat      与某人吵架argue with      诚实的honest      遵守诺言keep one’s promise 改正错误correct the mistake      自我反省introspect oneself Nobody is perfect.
