Have you ever noticed how zucchini (西葫芦) is given? Unlike peaches or apples, which are handed to you with confidence, zucchini is left anonymously—no note, no explanation, no one taking credit for it. It feels like the forgotten child of the vegetable kingdom. “Who should we thank for this gift?” I asked. “I don’t know,” Rachel replied. “You know how it is with zucchini.” Of course I did. Nobody grows it on purpose; it just grows uncontrollably, taking over gardens everywhere.
The next morning, I cautiously stepped into my office, unsure of what might await me. On my desk sat a white box with a piece of bread inside. It smelled and tasted wonderful. “Who made the banana bread?” I asked. Rachel smiled and responded, “It’s zucchini bread.” I froze. “It’s delicious! But I don’t like zucchini.”
“Neither do I,” Rachel admitted. “But years ago, I found a recipe for zucchini bread, and now I look forward to zucchini season.” I took another bite and wondered, “How can something so tasty come from something I don’t enjoy?” Rachel shrugged and said, “It’s life. With effort and creativity, you can turn almost anything around. Even zucchini.”
Later that day, I thought about Rachel’s words. Life, like zucchini, often gives us things we don’t ask for—unexpected difficulties, disappointments, or even challenges. But with patience and clever thinking, we can turn those moments into something valuable, even enjoyable. As I finished the last bite of the bread, I realized that zucchini wasn’t just a vegetable; it was a reminder to stay strong and see things from a new angle.

A. A handwritten note along with the zucchini.
B. A loaf of banana bread on her desk.
C. A zucchini placed on her office chair.
D. A thoughtful gift from someone at work.

C. Without hesitation. D. Without purpose.

A. Traditional. B. Wonderful. C. Unhealthy. D. Ordinary.
44 Why does Rachel look forward to zucchini season?
A. She sells zucchini to her neighbors.
B. She likes growing zucchini in her garden.
C. She uses zucchini for many dishes.
D. She enjoys making zucchini bread.
45. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To show readers a fine view of life.
B. To share a story about zucchini bread.
C. To teach readers how to grow zucchini.
D. To encourage people to work hard.
C
The robots are coming! In science fiction that is usually a ominous warning. But in the real world, it is a prediction — and a welcome one. The field of robotics has made impressive progress in the past year, as researchers have applied advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to machines, which gives robots of all kinds a dramatic brain upgrade. The latest advances in robotics will bring real and substantial benefits.
One is that new “multimoda” AI models combine understanding of language and vision with data from robotic sensors and actuators. This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words. You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to “pick up the yellow fruit”. Such models in effect give robots a degree of common sense — in this case, knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit. And like a chatbot, a robot can be told to change its behaviour simply by changing a text prompt, something that would previously have required complex reprogramming.
Another benefit is that robots are getting better at learning quickly through imitation and at applying one skill to another. This opens the door for robots to move out of factories and storehouses. Several companies and research groups are using the latest AI models to build human-like robots, which could cook, clean, and care for the aged and the needy.
Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living. South Korea, Japan and China are all in the top five countries with the most robots for each factory worker. It is no coincidence that they are also ageing rapidly. Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later. In the coming years, attitudes could well change from fearing the arrival of robots to wishing that they would get here sooner.
46. What does the underlined word “ominous” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Global. B. Early. C. Obvious. D. Threatening.
47. What do new “multimodal” AI models enable robots to do?
A. Perform complex reprogramming.
B. Have a conversation with humans.
C. Respond to everyday language.
D. Correct text instructions.
48. What does the author stress about robots in paragraph 3?
A. They will play a key role in factories.
B. They will take on more human tasks.
C. They will require less human monitoring.
D. They will benefit the aged more than others.
49. Why are South Korea, Japan and China mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To show they have many robots.
B. To explain the role of robots in ageing societies.
C. To share their experience with robots.
D. To discuss why their populations are ageing.
50. What is the author’s attitude to advances in robotics?
A. Favourable. B. Unclear. C. Concerned. D. Flexible.

第四部分:写作(共两节;满分30分)
第一节:阅读表达(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下列短文并回答问题。
This is a true story. One winter morning near Oxford, Maryland, a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside a large window with a view of the Tred Avon River. Across the river, beyond the dock, the snow covered the edge of the shore in white. For a moment, she stood quietly, looking at what the night’s storm had created. Suddenly, she leaned forward and peered through the icy window, trying to examine what she had seen more carefully. “It really is true,” she cried out loud. “There is a goose out there.” She saw a large Canadian goose, very still, its wings held tightly to its sides, and its feet stuck to the ice.
From the dark skies, a group of swans (天鹅) appeared, flying in a straight line. They moved gracefully, bravely, and freely. Suddenly, they came down from the sky and surrounded the frozen goose. Seeing this, my friend feared the swans might hurt the goose with their strong beaks (鸟喙). Instead, their beaks began to break the ice around the goose. Eventually, the goose was surrounded by a small area of ice instead of being stuck in the frozen river. The swans flew up again, circling above, waiting to see if their work had helped.
The goose lifted its head, pulled its body free, and stood on the ice. Four swans came down again, cleaning the goose’s wings with their beaks and removing the ice stuck to its feathers. The goose stretched its wings as far as it could. When its wings were fully open, the swans flew back up and continued their journey. Behind them, the goose rose into the sky with joy and joined the end of the elegant line.
My friend was moved to tears. Even birds help those in trouble. I often think of this story and remind myself, “If birds can do this, why can’t humans?”
51 What does the underlined word “peered” mean in the first paragraph? (no more than 2 words)
__________________________________________________________________________________
52. What was wrong with the goose? (no more than 10 words)
__________________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________________
54. How did the swans help the goose after it stood up? (no more than 15 words)

55. What lesson does the story of the goose teach you for the future? (no more than 20 words)

Have you ever noticed how zucchini (西葫芦) is given? Unlike peaches or apples, which are handed to you with confidence, zucchini is left anonymously—no note, no explanation, no one taking credit for it. It feels like the forgotten child of the vegetable kingdom. “Who should we thank for this gift?” I asked. “I don’t know,” Rachel replied. “You know how it is with zucchini.” Of course I did. Nobody grows it on purpose; it just grows uncontrollably, taking over gardens everywhere.
The next morning, I cautiously stepped into my office, unsure of what might await me. On my desk sat a white box with a piece of bread inside. It smelled and tasted wonderful. “Who made the banana bread?” I asked. Rachel smiled and responded, “It’s zucchini bread.” I froze. “It’s delicious! But I don’t like zucchini.”
“Neither do I,” Rachel admitted. “But years ago, I found a recipe for zucchini bread, and now I look forward to zucchini season.” I took another bite and wondered, “How can something so tasty come from something I don’t enjoy?” Rachel shrugged and said, “It’s life. With effort and creativity, you can turn almost anything around. Even zucchini.”
Later that day, I thought about Rachel’s words. Life, like zucchini, often gives us things we don’t ask for—unexpected difficulties, disappointments, or even challenges. But with patience and clever thinking, we can turn those moments into something valuable, even enjoyable. As I finished the last bite of the bread, I realized that zucchini wasn’t just a vegetable; it was a reminder to stay strong and see things from a new angle.

C
The robots are coming! In science fiction that is usually a ominous warning. But in the real world, it is a prediction — and a welcome one. The field of robotics has made impressive progress in the past year, as researchers have applied advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to machines, which gives robots of all kinds a dramatic brain upgrade. The latest advances in robotics will bring real and substantial benefits.
One is that new “multimoda” AI models combine understanding of language and vision with data from robotic sensors and actuators. This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words. You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to “pick up the yellow fruit”. Such models in effect give robots a degree of common sense — in this case, knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit. And like a chatbot, a robot can be told to change its behaviour simply by changing a text prompt, something that would previously have required complex reprogramming.
Another benefit is that robots are getting better at learning quickly through imitation and at applying one skill to another. This opens the door for robots to move out of factories and storehouses. Several companies and research groups are using the latest AI models to build human-like robots, which could cook, clean, and care for the aged and the needy.
Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living. South Korea, Japan and China are all in the top five countries with the most robots for each factory worker. It is no coincidence that they are also ageing rapidly. Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later. In the coming years, attitudes could well change from fearing the arrival of robots to wishing that they would get here sooner.
46. What does the underlined word “ominous” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Global. B. Early. C. Obvious. D. Threatening.
47. What do new “multimodal” AI models enable robots to do?
A. Perform complex reprogramming.
B. Have a conversation with humans.
C. Respond to everyday language.
D. Correct text instructions.
48. What does the author stress about robots in paragraph 3?
A. They will play a key role in factories.
B. They will take on more human tasks.
C. They will require less human monitoring.
D. They will benefit the aged more than others.
49. Why are South Korea, Japan and China mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To show they have many robots.
B. To explain the role of robots in ageing societies.
C. To share their experience with robots.
D. To discuss why their populations are ageing.
50. What is the author’s attitude to advances in robotics?
A. Favourable. B. Unclear. C. Concerned. D. Flexible.
【答案】46. D 47. C 48. B 49. B 50. A

第Ⅱ卷
第四部分:写作(共两节;满分30分)
第一节:阅读表达(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下列短文并回答问题。
This is a true story. One winter morning near Oxford, Maryland, a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside a large window with a view of the Tred Avon River. Across the river, beyond the dock, the snow covered the edge of the shore in white. For a moment, she stood quietly, looking at what the night’s storm had created. Suddenly, she leaned forward and peered through the icy window, trying to examine what she had seen more carefully. “It really is true,” she cried out loud. “There is a goose out there.” She saw a large Canadian goose, very still, its wings held tightly to its sides, and its feet stuck to the ice.
From the dark skies, a group of swans (天鹅) appeared, flying in a straight line. They moved gracefully, bravely, and freely. Suddenly, they came down from the sky and surrounded the frozen goose. Seeing this, my friend feared the swans might hurt the goose with their strong beaks (鸟喙). Instead, their beaks began to break the ice around the goose. Eventually, the goose was surrounded by a small area of ice instead of being stuck in the frozen river. The swans flew up again, circling above, waiting to see if their work had helped.
The goose lifted its head, pulled its body free, and stood on the ice. Four swans came down again, cleaning the goose’s wings with their beaks and removing the ice stuck to its feathers. The goose stretched its wings as far as it could. When its wings were fully open, the swans flew back up and continued their journey. Behind them, the goose rose into the sky with joy and joined the end of the elegant line.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一群天鹅救助一只被困在冰面上的加拿大鹅的感人故事。
【51题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据第一段中“Suddenly, she leaned forward and peered through the icy window, trying to examine what she had seen more carefully.(突然,她向前倾身,透过结霜的窗户peered,试图更仔细地观察她看到的东西)”可知,此处描述朋友努力看清窗外景象的动作,划线词peered的意思为“仔细看”。结合语境和语法要求(不超过2词),答案可为Looked closely/carefully. /Examined carefully./Observed carefully./Inspected carefully./Studied closely./Stared./ Examined./Studied./Observed.
【52题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段最后一句“She saw a large Canadian goose, very still, its wings held tightly to its sides, and its feet stuck to the ice.(她看见一只大加拿大鹅,一动不动,翅膀紧紧地贴在身体两侧,它的脚冻在冰里)”可知,鹅的问题是脚被冰困住无法移动。故答案为 Its feet were frozen, and it couldn’t move.
【53题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Instead, their beaks began to break the ice around the goose.(相反,它们用喙打破鹅周围的冰)”可知,天鹅围住鹅后立即展开救助。答案需突出“用喙破冰”的动作,故答案为They used their beaks to break the ice around the goose.
【54题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“The goose lifted its head, pulled its body free, and stood on the ice. Four swans came down again, cleaning the goose’s wings with their beaks and removing the ice stuck to its feathers.(那只鹅抬起头,挣脱身体,站在冰上。四只天鹅再次飞下,用喙清理鹅的翅膀并去除羽毛上的冰)”可知,天鹅在鹅站立后继续帮助清理残冰。故答案为They cleaned its wings and removed the ice from its feathers.
【55题详解】
考查主旨归纳。根据最后一段中“Even birds help those in trouble. If birds can do this, why can’t humans?(连鸟类都会帮助困境中的同类,人类更应如此)”可知,故事通过动物互助行为呼吁人类传递善意。故答案为 It teaches me to be kind, care for others, and support those in need around me。

Thank you for listening!
【答案】One possible version:
Good afternoon, everyone!
Today, I would like to talk about my favorite Chinese poet, Li Bai. Li Bai was a famous poet from the Tang Dynasty, known for his creative and beautiful poems. His works often focus on nature, freedom, and life, and they remain popular today.
I admire Li Bai for his ability to express deep feelings with simple words. For example, in his poem “Quiet Night Thoughts,” he uses images of moonlight and frost to show his homesickness. His poems are touching and easy to understand, which makes them unforgettable.
I also admire his bold and free spirit. Li Bai followed his dreams and lived an adventurous life. His passion for poetry inspires me to pursue my own dreams and enjoy life to the fullest.
Thank you for listening!
