“Our history and culture is very important to understanding the present moment and where we’re heading in the future.” said Apple CEO Tim Cook on Monday. Cook highlighted technology’s role in expanding the audience for traditional culture after watching a Kunqu Opera performance, saying, “What technology does and what our products do is help expand the audience for traditional culture.”
The event featured a performance of a classic excerpt (节选) from the 400-year-old Peony Pavilion by the Northern Kunqu Opera Theatre. Model-actress and director Chang Chunxiao presented her iPhone-shot short documentary, The People in the Time Tunnel, which reveals behind-the-scenes stories of the theater’s new interpretation of the opera. Cook remarked on the power of video to share such cultural experiences globally: “Only a few of us could fit in the theater and enjoy it, but with the video we’re able to capture that for the world. It enables us to connect with our history in a much deeper way and with many more people.”
Cook expressed his personal admiration for Chinese calligraphy, calling it “one of the most beautiful art forms in the world,” and stressed the importance of its preservation. He underlined the broader significance of safeguarding history and culture in a nation with 5,000 years of heritage, noting that “There’s so much in the past that can be learned from and used to make our lives better in the present moment.”
Addressing the current trend of artificial intelligence, Cook expressed his view on technology’s purpose: enriching lives, enhancing productivity, and boosting creativity. He firmly asserted technology’s supplementary role: “But it does not and it should not replace human being. It’s a complement rather than a replacement.”
4. What is the main function of Cook’s words in Paragraph 1?
A. Highlight commercial gains. B. Provide false statistics.
C. Contrast tradition with innovation. D. Present Cook’s major argument.
5. What key role does Cook see for video technology?
A. Enhancing theatrical performances. B. Globalizing cultural experiences.
C. Replacing physical attendance. D. Simplifying artistic creation.
6. What is implied by Cook’s reference to China’s 5,000-year heritage?
A. Technology must reproduce historical models to ensure progress.
B. Modern societies neglect ancestral wisdom in solving current issues.
C. Historical heritage provides applicable insights for present improvement.
D. Cultural preservation holds back technological advancement.
7. What is Cook’s core belief regarding artificial intelligence?
A. Human creativity becoming outdated. B. Enhancing, not replacing humanity.
C. Automating tasks for efficiency. D. Ethics blocking AI contributions.

May 28, 2025, the collapse of Switzerland’s Birch glacier sent a deadly ice cloud into Blatten village, serving as a global warning — especially for threatened Asian communities near fragile ice. While climate change’s role in this specific event requires investigation, its broader impact on societies that rely on icy environments is undeniable, stated Ali Neumann at a UN-backed conference. Though one person remains missing, the moving of 300 residents to safety prevented mass deaths, proving timely crisis management reduces disaster scale.
Swiss experts use sensors and satellites to monitor glaciers, but many Himalayan nations lack such resources. “The whole chain—from monitoring to danger communication—needs strengthening in Asia,” warned WMO’s Stefan Uhlenbrook, noting critical gaps in data connectivity. A 2024 UN report reveals two-thirds of Asia-Pacific nations have early warning systems, yet frontline countries remain least covered. “Monitoring exists but isn’t enough,” stressed Nepal’s ICIMOD geologist Sudan Maharjan, mentioning landform challenges and funding shortages.
This difference costs lives: Disaster deaths average 338 per event in Asia-Pacific versus 189 globally. Himalayan glaciers — vital for 2 billion people—are melting at unprecedented rates, triggering glacial lake outbursts and permafrost(永久冻土) landslides. “Exporting Swiss tech isn’t sufficient,” argued geoscientist Jakob Steiner. “Complex disasters demand community cooperation as much as technology.”
“Mere monitoring is inadequate,” emphasized the Asian Development Bank’s Declan Magee, “We must rethink infrastructure locations and reduce weakness.” Nepal’s May landslide that destroyed Til village demonstrated this urgency. “In Switzerland, escape plan came days early; here we had seconds.” said climate activist Tashi Lhazom.
The accelerating crisis demands integrated action. As glaciers disappear, communities face unpredictable disasters—exposing a serious need for globally equal preparedness.
8. What prevented mass deaths in Blatten village’s glacier collapse?
A. Advanced satellite monitoring. B. Effective emergency management.
C. Global warning systems. D. Strengthened infrastructure.
9. What can be inferred about Himalayan nations from UN data?
A. They prioritize tech over community.
B. They employ Swiss models successfully.
C Their early-warning coverage is inadequate.
D. Their funding shortages are resolved.
10. What does the underlined word “ difference” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Gap in disaster monitoring capacity.
B. Variation in global death rates.
C. Contrast between disaster types.
D. Difference in community responses.
11. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing this article?
A. To compare glacier monitoring technologies.
B. To analyze climate change’s role in a Swiss disaster.
C. To advocate for global equality in disaster preparedness.
D. To highlight the increased hi-tech usage in emergencies.

Scientists say Europe’s Euclid space telescope has discovered a bright ring of light circling a nearby galaxy (星系), known as an Einstein ring. Astronomers were surprised that the bright ring had not been identified before around the well-studied galaxy called NGC 6505. Einstein rings form when light from a more distant galaxy bends around a closer galaxy, creating the appearance of a circle of light around the nearer galaxy. The Einstein ring gets its name from physicist Albert Einstein, who predicted that light would bend around extremely massive objects in space, a phenomenon called “gravitational lensing (引力透镜效应).”
The American space agency NASA explains that as light passes through a gravitational lens, it may take different paths, producing multiple images of the same object. In this way, gravity acts as a lens, curving the path of light, making distant objects appear larger and twisted. Gravitational lenses allow telescopes like Euclid to observe more distant and less-bright objects.
In the latest project, researchers from Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics used data from Euclid to create a computer model to discover the Einstein ring. The Euclid space telescope, operated by the European Space Agency (ESA), was launched in 2023 on a six-year mission to study the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy across the universe. Astronomers at the Max Planck Institute are leading the research. The first sign of the Einstein ring came during testing right after Euclid was put into use. Altieri’s team noticed the ring and reported the findings in a study in the publication Astronomy and Astrophysics.
Conor O’Riordan, another team member and the lead writer of the study, said this ring is particularly special because it’s close to Earth and has a beautiful arrangement. The researchers used the latest gravitational lensing methods to model the light of the ring and plan to use it to study “dark matter substructures” within the lensing galaxy. O’Riordan predicted that Euclid will revolutionize the field with all the new data.
12. What is stated about the Einstein ring in paragraph 1?
A. It was first discovered by NASA’s space telescope.
B. Einstein observed this ring to prove his theory.
C It forms due to the bending of light around galaxies.
D. The ring is located inside the galaxy NGC 6505.
13. What can be inferred about gravitational lensing from the passage?
A. It prevents telescopes from observing distant objects clearly.
B. It relies on dark matter to bend light paths.
C. It was first confirmed by the Euclid telescope in 2023.
D. It enables the study of otherwise invisible space structures.
14. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The process of discovering the Einstein ring.
B. The timeline and significance of Euclid’s mission.
C. The role of international teams in the discovery.
D. How gravitational lensing was theoretically predicted.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Euclid Telescope: Mapping Dark Energy in the Universe
B. Historic Breakthrough: Einstein’s Theory Finally Proven
C. New Methods: How Astronomers Study Dark Matter
D. Space Surprise: Euclid Discovers Rare Einstein Ring Near Earth

How to Get a Flat Stomach
Achieving a flat stomach involves more than just exercise. Equally crucial are sustainable practices such as diet and lifestyle habits, adequate sleep and stress management. Here are some essential strategies to help you reach your goal.
____16____ Start by avoiding meals 1-2 hours before bed, as late-night eating can lead to fat storage. Your body’s digestive system operates far less efficiently during rest, slowing down significantly compared to its daytime activity.
Don’t overlook hydration. ____17____ Drinking plenty of water not only flushes toxins from the body through improved kidney function but also prevents belly bloating.
Implementing strategic aerobic workout. Aerobic activities like running or swimming are crucial for shedding the layer of fat covering belly muscles. ____18____ You can aim for 30 minutes daily, incorporating interval training to maximize calorie burn.
Strength training is equally vital. ____19____ For instance, exercises like sit-up target the upper abs while leg raises focus on the lower abs. Pairing them with regular aerobic exercise can reduce overall body fat and achieve visible definition.
Embrace a sustainable lifestyle. Long-term success relies on healthy habits. ____20____
Instead, focus on consistency: eat small, frequent meals to regulate blood sugar, get 7-8 hours of sleep to reduce stress eating, and manage anxiety through hobbies or exercise.
In a nutshell, getting a flat stomach is a journey that blends mindful eating, targeted exercise, and self-care.
A. Avoid sugary drinks or processed foods.
B. Nourish your body with smart eating.
C. Regular yoga sessions can improve core flexibility and mental focus.
D. Experts recommend 8-10 cups daily, adjusting for activity levels and climate.
E. These not only burn calories but also boost heart health, essential for fitness.
F. This is because building muscle mass boosts calories burning even at rest.
G. Skipping meals or extreme dieting often backfires, leading to overeating and nutrient shortage.

As the school year wrapped up and the first days of summer vacation stretched out before them, Max, Ava, and Sam had a perfect day planned at their usual community park. This tidy little park was their go - to spot for unwinding and just enjoying some precious leisure time.
Max rushed ahead with a soccer ball under his arm, Ava and Sam trailing closely behind, full of energy. It was the kind of day that promised endless fun and carefree laughter. But as they stepped into the park, their heart sank. The once - beloved playground was now a chaotic mess of discarded trash (乱扔的垃圾) — candy wrappers stuck in the slide’s metal bars, plastic bottles rolling in the wind, and chip bags lying underfoot.
“Look at this!” Ava shouted in disbelief as she pointed to the garbage near the swings.
Max’s face darkened with frustration. The three friends stood frozen, their eyes scanning the playground area. The once clean slides and swings were now buried under a layer of candy wrappers and plastic bottles. Ava cast a glance (瞥一眼) at the walking trails, where garbage seemed to have taken over, with discarded bags and cans lying everywhere. Sam looked out at the grassy fields — a disaster. The park was vast, but every corner seemed to have been touched by the carelessness of others.
“Who would be so thoughtless?” Max whispered, shaking his head.
Sam kicked a plastic bottle in anger, sending it flying across the grass. “It’s not just thoughtless — it’s disrespectful.”
Ava sighed thoughtfully but suddenly her face lit up. “We can’t just leave it like this. Why don’t we do something about it? We can, say, form a Cleanup Squad (清洁小分队)…” she said, her voice soft but determined.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance.

May 28, 2025, the collapse of Switzerland’s Birch glacier sent a deadly ice cloud into Blatten village, serving as a global warning — especially for threatened Asian communities near fragile ice. While climate change’s role in this specific event requires investigation, its broader impact on societies that rely on icy environments is undeniable, stated Ali Neumann at a UN-backed conference. Though one person remains missing, the moving of 300 residents to safety prevented mass deaths, proving timely crisis management reduces disaster scale.
Swiss experts use sensors and satellites to monitor glaciers, but many Himalayan nations lack such resources. “The whole chain—from monitoring to danger communication—needs strengthening in Asia,” warned WMO’s Stefan Uhlenbrook, noting critical gaps in data connectivity. A 2024 UN report reveals two-thirds of Asia-Pacific nations have early warning systems, yet frontline countries remain least covered. “Monitoring exists but isn’t enough,” stressed Nepal’s ICIMOD geologist Sudan Maharjan, mentioning landform challenges and funding shortages.
This difference costs lives: Disaster deaths average 338 per event in Asia-Pacific versus 189 globally. Himalayan glaciers — vital for 2 billion people—are melting at unprecedented rates, triggering glacial lake outbursts and permafrost(永久冻土) landslides. “Exporting Swiss tech isn’t sufficient,” argued geoscientist Jakob Steiner. “Complex disasters demand community cooperation as much as technology.”
“Mere monitoring is inadequate,” emphasized the Asian Development Bank’s Declan Magee, “We must rethink infrastructure locations and reduce weakness.” Nepal’s May landslide that destroyed Til village demonstrated this urgency. “In Switzerland, escape plan came days early; here we had seconds.” said climate activist Tashi Lhazom.
The accelerating crisis demands integrated action. As glaciers disappear, communities face unpredictable disasters—exposing a serious need for globally equal preparedness.
8. What prevented mass deaths in Blatten village’s glacier collapse?
A. Advanced satellite monitoring. B. Effective emergency management.
C. Global warning systems. D. Strengthened infrastructure.
9. What can be inferred about Himalayan nations from UN data?
A. They prioritize tech over community.
B. They employ Swiss models successfully.
C. Their early-warning coverage is inadequate.
D. Their funding shortages are resolved.
10 What does the underlined word “ difference” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Gap in disaster monitoring capacity.
B. Variation in global death rates.
C. Contrast between disaster types.
D. Difference in community responses.
11. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing this article?
A. To compare glacier monitoring technologies.
B. To analyze climate change’s role in a Swiss disaster.
C. To advocate for global equality in disaster preparedness.
D. To highlight the increased hi-tech usage in emergencies.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C

Scientists say Europe’s Euclid space telescope has discovered a bright ring of light circling a nearby galaxy (星系), known as an Einstein ring. Astronomers were surprised that the bright ring had not been identified before around the well-studied galaxy called NGC 6505. Einstein rings form when light from a more distant galaxy bends around a closer galaxy, creating the appearance of a circle of light around the nearer galaxy. The Einstein ring gets its name from physicist Albert Einstein, who predicted that light would bend around extremely massive objects in space, a phenomenon called “gravitational lensing (引力透镜效应).”
The American space agency NASA explains that as light passes through a gravitational lens, it may take different paths, producing multiple images of the same object. In this way, gravity acts as a lens, curving the path of light, making distant objects appear larger and twisted. Gravitational lenses allow telescopes like Euclid to observe more distant and less-bright objects.
In the latest project, researchers from Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics used data from Euclid to create a computer model to discover the Einstein ring. The Euclid space telescope, operated by the European Space Agency (ESA), was launched in 2023 on a six-year mission to study the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy across the universe. Astronomers at the Max Planck Institute are leading the research. The first sign of the Einstein ring came during testing right after Euclid was put into use. Altieri’s team noticed the ring and reported the findings in a study in the publication Astronomy and Astrophysics.
Conor O’Riordan, another team member and the lead writer of the study, said this ring is particularly special because it’s close to Earth and has a beautiful arrangement. The researchers used the latest gravitational lensing methods to model the light of the ring and plan to use it to study “dark matter substructures” within the lensing galaxy. O’Riordan predicted that Euclid will revolutionize the field with all the new data.
12. What is stated about the Einstein ring in paragraph 1?
A. It was first discovered by NASA’s space telescope.
B. Einstein observed this ring to prove his theory.
C. It forms due to the bending of light around galaxies.
D. The ring is located inside the galaxy NGC 6505.
13. What can be inferred about gravitational lensing from the passage?
A. It prevents telescopes from observing distant objects clearly.
B. It relies on dark matter to bend light paths.
C. It was first confirmed by the Euclid telescope in 2023.
D. It enables the study of otherwise invisible space structures.
14. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The process of discovering the Einstein ring.
B. The timeline and significance of Euclid’s mission.
C. The role of international teams in the discovery.
D. How gravitational lensing was theoretically predicted.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Euclid Telescope: Mapping Dark Energy in the Universe
B. Historic Breakthrough: Einstein’s Theory Finally Proven
C. New Methods: How Astronomers Study Dark Matter
D. Space Surprise: Euclid Discovers Rare Einstein Ring Near Earth

How to Get a Flat Stomach
Achieving a flat stomach involves more than just exercise. Equally crucial are sustainable practices such as diet and lifestyle habits, adequate sleep and stress management. Here are some essential strategies to help you reach your goal.
____16____ Start by avoiding meals 1-2 hours before bed, as late-night eating can lead to fat storage. Your body’s digestive system operates far less efficiently during rest, slowing down significantly compared to its daytime activity.
Don’t overlook hydration. ____17____ Drinking plenty of water not only flushes toxins from the body through improved kidney function but also prevents belly bloating.
Implementing strategic aerobic workout. Aerobic activities like running or swimming are crucial for shedding the layer of fat covering belly muscles. ____18____ You can aim for 30 minutes daily, incorporating interval training to maximize calorie burn.
Strength training is equally vital. ____19____ For instance, exercises like sit-up target the upper abs while leg raises focus on the lower abs. Pairing them with regular aerobic exercise can reduce overall body fat and achieve visible definition.
Embrace a sustainable lifestyle. Long-term success relies on healthy habits. ____20____
Instead, focus on consistency: eat small, frequent meals to regulate blood sugar, get 7-8 hours of sleep to reduce stress eating, and manage anxiety through hobbies or exercise.
In a nutshell, getting a flat stomach is a journey that blends mindful eating, targeted exercise, and self-care.
A. Avoid sugary drinks or processed foods.
B. Nourish your body with smart eating.
C. Regular yoga sessions can improve core flexibility and mental focus.
D. Experts recommend 8-10 cups daily, adjusting for activity levels and climate.
E. These not only burn calories but also boost heart health, essential for fitness.
F. This is because building muscle mass boosts calories burning even at rest.
G. Skipping meals or extreme dieting often backfires, leading to overeating and nutrient shortage.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了法国里昂与丝绸的深厚渊源及丝绸产业对其发展的影响。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:几个世纪以来,代代相传的丝绸制作传统塑造了里昂的特色。shape为动词“塑造”,在句中作谓语。根据时间状语For centuries可知,表示从过去持续到现在的动作或状态,时态应用现在完成时,主语silk-making traditions是复数,助动词用have。故填have shaped。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在这些作坊里,熟练的工人使用起源于中国的丝网印刷技术,一层一层地叠加颜色。空处需要泛非谓语动词作定语。此处表示“起源于中国的技术”,technique与originate为主动关系,用现在分词作后置定语修饰。故填originating。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:值得注意的是,制作一条围巾可能需要多达30种不同的颜色,每种颜色都需要自己的丝网和印刷步骤。此处修饰整个句子,作状语,应用副词remarkably“值得注意的是”,句首单词首字母大写。故填Remarkably。

【40题详解】

【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:丝绸的到来带来了重大的文化和经济变革,建立了中法之间的长期联系。此处作主语,应用名词arrival“到来”,不可数名词。故填arrival。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:就连里昂老城的街道设计也是为了在运输过程中保护丝绸产品免受风吹雨打,这显示了丝绸在许多方面对城市发展的影响。此处特指里昂老城的街道设计,用定冠词the。故填the。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:如今,里昂仍然是丝绸生产、设计和文化交流的中心,激励着世界各地的许多著名时装公司。be celebrated as是固定短语,意为“作为……而闻名/受到赞誉”。故填as。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:由于中国的“一带一路”倡议,新的贸易路线正在为里昂带来新的机遇。本空作are bringing的宾语,opportunity“机遇”是可数名词,由new trade routes are bringing fresh可知,应用复数形式,表示不止一个机会。故填opportunities。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这一重新建立的合作关系将继续编织一个充满共同创造力和创新精神的未来。空处需要形容词作定语,修饰后面的名词短语creativity和innovation。shared为形容词“共享的”,符合语境。故填shared。

Learning from the Land
Last Saturday, an activity with the theme of “Learning from the Land” was organized by our school among Senior Two students.
As scheduled, we set out for a nearby farm at 8:00 in the morning. Upon arrival, we were given a brief introduction to some basic farming knowledge by the farm owner, after which we set about learning different farm work. Guided by some experienced farmers, some of us learnt how to sow seeds; some were occupied in applying fertilizer while others tried to irrigate the field. Challenging process as it was, we eventually mastered the skills.
It was through this rewarding activity that we realized the foods we enjoyed were the fruits of farmers’ hard work, thus deserving to be cherished.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As the school year wrapped up and the first days of summer vacation stretched out before them, Max, Ava, and Sam had a perfect day planned at their usual community park. This tidy little park was their go - to spot for unwinding and just enjoying some precious leisure time.
Max rushed ahead with a soccer ball under his arm, Ava and Sam trailing closely behind, full of energy. It was the kind of day that promised endless fun and carefree laughter. But as they stepped into the park, their heart sank. The once - beloved playground was now a chaotic mess of discarded trash (乱扔的垃圾) — candy wrappers stuck in the slide’s metal bars, plastic bottles rolling in the wind, and chip bags lying underfoot.
“Look at this!” Ava shouted in disbelief as she pointed to the garbage near the swings.
Max’s face darkened with frustration. The three friends stood frozen, their eyes scanning the playground area. The once clean slides and swings were now buried under a layer of candy wrappers and plastic bottles. Ava cast a glance (瞥一眼) at the walking trails, where garbage seemed to have taken over, with discarded bags and cans lying everywhere. Sam looked out at the grassy fields — a disaster. The park was vast, but every corner seemed to have been touched by the carelessness of others.
“Who would be so thoughtless?” Max whispered, shaking his head.
Sam kicked a plastic bottle in anger, sending it flying across the grass. “It’s not just thoughtless — it’s disrespectful.”
Ava sighed thoughtfully but suddenly her face lit up. “We can’t just leave it like this. Why don’t we do something about it? We can, say, form a Cleanup Squad (清洁小分队)…” she said, her voice soft but determined.
注意:
1. 续写词数应150左右;

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance. “That’s a great idea, Ava!” Max exclaimed. Sam nodded in agreement, his eyes shining with determination. Without hesitation, they quickly divided the tasks. Max ran to fetch some trash bags from his nearby home. Ava and Sam started collecting the larger pieces of garbage first, like the chip bags and plastic bottles. As they worked, Ava hummed a little tune, and the others joined in. Their laughter and songs filled the park, making the cleanup seem more like a fun game.
Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup. An elderly couple, who were taking a stroll, saw what they were doing and decided to lend a hand. A group of kids playing nearby also came over, eager to help make the park clean again. With more people joining, the cleanup went much faster. Before long, the playground was clean once more. The slides and swings sparkled in the sun, and the grassy fields were free of trash. Max, Ava, and Sam looked at each other, beaming with pride. They realized that with everyone’s effort, they could make a difference and keep their beloved park beautiful.
