The room felt electric with excitement. Tang Wensheng, a young interpreter, was about to start a big career. The leader of Guyana, Prime Minister Burnham, was coming. But just a few hours before, Tang knew nothing about him or his country.
She almost panicked. Then, she thought of her favorite way to learn: from books. She hurried to the library, looking for answers. Two books became her helpers — one about the history of Guyana, and one about Prime Minister Burnham. Hours passed quickly as she read about new places and people. When she walked into the meeting, she felt much more confident. Reading had turned a scary situation into a good chance to learn.
To stay sharp when she wasn’t working on important jobs, Tang found a creative way to practice — reading English detective stories. These interesting stories helped her keep her language skills strong and her vocabulary wide. Reading was not only for learning new things, but also for staying in top form.
Later, she worked at the China Daily newspaper. Every day, she had to understand lots of new information from around the world. It reminded her that she always had more to learn. However, the many books she had read gave her a strong base. Her trust in reading became like an anchor in a sea of information.
“Books teach you to be humble,” she said years later. “They show you how much you don’t know, and that makes you want to keep learning.” Now, when AI is becoming so important, Tang still believes in reading. “If we don’ t keep reading and learning,” she said, “we might get left behind as the world changes.” Reading, she proved, is more than just preparation; it’s a map that helps us find our way through life.
24. What was Tang’s initial reaction when she heard about Prime Minister Burnham’s arrival?
A. Confident in her interpretation.
B. Eager to read her favourite books.
C. Excited to meet a high-profile leader.
D. Worried about her lack of relevant knowledge.
25. How did detective novels contribute to Tang’s career?
A. They introduced her to the legal field.
B. They improved her logical reasoning.
C. They offered relaxation during breaks.
D. They enhanced her language proficiency.
26. What can we infer about Tang Wensheng’s personality from the passage?
A. Pessimistic & Hesitant. B. Gifted & Easygoing.
C. Hardworking & Persistent. D. Reserved & Independent.
27. Which of the following idioms best summarizes the main theme of the passage?
A. Live and learn.
B. Patience is a virtue.
C. Knowledge is power.
D. Fortune favors the bold.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了唐闻生的故事,讲述了她从面对为圭亚那总理做翻译这一挑战时通过阅读学习克服恐慌,到平时通过阅读英文侦探小说保持语言能力,再到后来在《中国日报》工作以及多年后对阅读的感悟等一系列经历。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But just a few hours before, Tang knew nothing about him or his country.(但就在几个小时前,她对这位总理和他的国家还一无所知。)”以及第二段“She almost panicked. (她几乎要慌了神。)”可知,唐闻生在得知伯纳姆总理即将到访时,由于对这位总理和他的国家一无所知,几乎陷入恐慌。这表明她最初的反应是担心自己缺乏相关知识。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“To stay sharp when she wasn’t working on important jobs, Tang found a creative way to practice— reading English detective stories. These interesting stories helped her keep her language skills strong and her vocabulary wide.(在没有重要工作时,为了保持状态,唐闻生找到了一个巧妙的练习方式:读英文侦探小说。这些有趣的故事帮她巩固了语言技能,拓展了词汇量。)”可知,侦探小说帮助唐闻生保持了扎实的语言技能,拓展了词汇量。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“She almost panicked. Then, she thought of her favorite way to learn: from books. She hurried to the library, looking for answers. Two books became her helpers — one about the history of Guyana, and one about Prime Minister Burnham. Hours passed quickly as she read about new places and people. When she walked into the meeting, she felt much more confident.(她几乎要慌了神,随即想到了自己最爱的学习方式:从书中寻找答案。她匆匆赶到图书馆,两本书成了她的帮手——一本关于圭亚那历史,另一本是伯纳姆总理的传记。她沉浸在陌生的地域与人物故事中,时间飞逝。走进会场时,她的底气足了许多。)”可知,面对对圭亚那总理及该国一无所知的紧急情况,她立刻通过阅读书籍快速补充知识,从恐慌转为自信,体现了高效的学习能力和应对挑战的积极性。再根据最后一段“Now, when AI is becoming so important, Tang still believes in reading. “If we don’ t keep reading and learning,” she said, “we might get left behind as the world changes.” Reading, she proved, is more than just preparation; it’s a map that helps us find our way through life. (如今,在人工智能日益重要的时代,唐闻生依然坚信阅读的价值。“如果我们不坚持阅读和学习,”她说,“就可能在世界的变革中落后。”她用亲身经历证明:阅读远不止是一种准备,更是指引我们穿越人生的地图。)”可知,长期以来,阅读成为她应对工作需求,且她始终坚信阅读的价值,即使在AI时代仍坚持学习,体现了对自我提升的坚持。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章核心围绕唐闻生通过阅读获取知识,从而应对工作挑战、提升职业能力展开:面对对圭亚那及总理的未知,她通过书籍快速学习,将危机转化为机会;阅读英文侦探小说保持语言技能,为职业发展奠定基础;她坚信阅读能让人持续学习,避免在时代变革中落后。这些都体现了活到老学到老的主题。故选A。
C

Alibaba has introduced its one-hour delivery service “Taobao Flash” nationwide ahead of schedule, stepping up its push in China’s increasing on-demand retail race. Originally set to launch on May 6, the platform went live across the country on May 2 following strong uptake during its pilot run in more than 50 cities.
The upgraded service is backed by Alibaba’s food delivery arm Ele. me and offers aggressive consumer rewards, including free drinks, cash coupons, and discounted meals. The company said it aims to combine “e-commerce pricing with instant delivery,” with flash-sale deals across categories like food, groceries, pharmacy, electronics, and clothing now available within 30 minutes.
Within 48 hours of the launch, Ele.me’s delivery orders hit record highs in 13cities. Sales of Cotti Coffee jumped tenfold in 24 hours, topping the platform’s coffee category. Over the May Day holiday, discounted drinks like milk tea and coffee surged more than 110% year-on-year, driven by flash deals and time-limited offers. The accelerated launch comes as rivals like JD.com and Meituan increase investments in instant delivery, expanding from their core strengths in e-commerce and food, separately.
All three are competing for an advantage over others in a sector expected to surpass 2 trillion yuan ($275 billion) by 2030, as consumers increasingly demand faster fulfillment and deeper discounts.
A Taobao Flash project spokesperson told The Beijing News: “Our current launch minimizes customer costs, freeing up resources for aggressive consumer subsidies(补贴).”
During the Labor Day holiday, Ele. me reported a sharp increase in late-night orders from travelers, with purchases between 10 p. m. and 5 a. m. accounting for more than 30% of total orders——1.6 times higher than local users, according to company data. Younger travelers fueled much of the demand, using 20% to 30% discounts to have snacks and drinks delivered from tourist hotspots to their hotels.
Industry analysts say Taobao’s launch has driven traffic and engagement well beyond initial expectations, helping brands reach more consumers—— especially in lower-tier markets.

【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The upgraded service is backed by Alibaba’s food delivery arm Ele. me and offers aggressive consumer rewards, including free drinks, cash coupons, and discounted meals. The company said it aims to combine “e-commerce pricing with instant delivery,” with flash-sale deals across categories like food, groceries, pharmacy, electronics, and clothing now available within 30 minutes. (升级后的服务得到了阿里巴巴食品配送部门饿了么的支持,并提供积极的消费者奖励,包括免费饮料、现金券和折扣餐。该公司表示,其目标是将“电子商务定价与即时配送”相结合,食品、杂货、药店、电子产品和服装等类别的闪购交易现在可以在30分钟内完成。)”可知,淘宝闪送有阿里的支持,并在运营时有一些策略,如提供消费者奖励和“电子商务定价与即时配送”相结合的策略。故可总结本段的主要内容为淘宝闪送的市场营销策略。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“The accelerated launch comes as rivals like JD.com and Meituan increase investments in instant delivery, expanding from their core strengths in e-commerce and food, separately. (京东和美团等竞争对手分别从电子商务和食品领域的核心优势出发,加大了对即时交付的投资,加速了产品的推出。)”可知,京东和美团即时交付策略的区别在于京东从电子商务出发,而美团从食品出发。故选C项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段划线词所在句的前半句“All three are competing for an advantage over others(这三家公司都在为了一个能超越他人的优势)”可知,这三家公司在闪送业务上相互竞争,且这个竞争和金钱相关,肯定是超过其他公司多少钱,故可推测出句子中的“surpass 2 trillion yuan ($275 billion) by 2030”意为在2030年时超过2万亿元。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据本文第一二段“The new service promises steep discounts and 30-minute delivery across major categories, aiming to capture younger consumers and expand into lower-tier markets. Alibaba has introduced its one-hour delivery service “Taobao Flash” nationwide ahead of schedule, stepping up its push in China’s increasing on-demand retail race. Originally set to launch on May 6, the platform went live across the country on May 2 following strong uptake during its pilot run in more than 50 cities.(这项新服务承诺在主要类别中提供大幅折扣和30分钟送货服务,旨在吸引年轻消费者并扩展到较低层次的市场。阿里巴巴提前在全国范围内推出了一小时送货服务“淘宝闪送”,进一步推动了中国日益激烈的按需零售竞争。该平台原定于5月6日推出,在50多个城市的试运行中得到了广泛应用,并于5月2日在全国范围内上线。)”后文每个段落都是从这一服务展开,分别就其市场策略,和别的公司的竞争,所取得的效益进行解释。可知,本文的核心在于向读者介绍阿里巴巴的淘宝闪送服务。故选B项。
D
The increasing conflicts between humans and Tibetan brown bears on the Tibetan Plateau are a growing concern, potentially fueled by climate change impacting the animals’ traditional living spaces. This interruption leads to bears seeking food and shelter in human settlements, resulting in livestock loss, property damage, and even posing risks of serious injury or death to both humans and animals.
To ease these conflicts, a team at Wuhan University in China, led by Peng Yuchen, has developed an innovative AI-controlled device. This system aims to identify bears using complex image recognition and turn them away with a targeted spray of a harmless but unpleasant mixture of capsaicin (辣椒素) and menthol (薄荷醇).
The AI model was trained on a vast dataset of over 1,000 images of local wildlife, including over 600 featuring bears, alongside yaks, antelopes, and even humans. Engineered to distinguish bears from other species, the device consists of a camera, a small computer running the AI model, a solar panel for power, and a lithium (锂) battery capable of operating autonomously for up to 30 days. The spray, when activated, can reach bears up to 13 meters away.
According to the test findings, the machine can identify a bear 91.4% of the time it registered one, and detect a bear 93.6% of the time one was present. However, there was a minimal (1.8%) risk of accidental spraying of humans within range.
Some experts note that the field tests were conducted in controlled environments, raising questions about real — world applicability. “Bears are highly adaptive, and I doubt a single spray will deter them long-term,” says Dave Garshelis, who runs a group focused on bears at the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. “They’ll probably find other ways to access human settlements and just avoid the machine itself.” He adds.
He says that the project reminds him of US park rangers shooting bears with rubber bullets to keep them away from people, which worked up to a point. “The bears learned to stay away from people in uniforms carrying guns, but recognized that there was no danger of other people,” says Garshelis.
32. What caused the rise in human-bear tension on the Tibetan Plateau based on the passage?
A. Decreased food supply for humans.
B. Increased human tourism in bear territory.
C. Bear numbers exceeding the land’s capacity.
D. Shifting weather patterns affecting bear habitats.
33. What can be inferred about the device in paragraph 4?
A It works reliably in most cases.
B. It requires constant human supervision.
C. It puts human safety ahead of accuracy.
D. It performs better in controlled environments.
34. What is Dave Garshelis’s attitude towards the AI-controlled device?
A. Hopeful. B. Skeptical. C. Indifferent. D. Hesitant.
35. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. AI System Uses Spray to Keep Bears Away
B. Saving Tibetan Bears with a Vast Database
C. Balancing Tech & Tradition: Saving the Bears
D. Low-Cost Tech Removes Human-Bear Conflicts
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章围绕人类与藏棕熊冲突这一事件展开,介绍了武汉大学团队为缓解冲突开发的AI控制设备,包括设备原理、构成、测试结果等,还引用专家观点对该设备提出质疑。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The increasing conflicts between humans and Tibetan brown bears on the Tibetan Plateau are a growing concern, potentially fueled by climate change impacting the animals’ traditional living spaces.(青藏高原上人类与藏棕熊之间的冲突日益加剧,这一问题愈发令人担忧——气候变化影响了这些动物的传统栖息地,可能是冲突升级的推手)”可知,青藏高原上人类与藏棕熊冲突加剧的原因是气候变化影响了棕熊的传统栖息地。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“According to the test findings, the machine can identify a bear 91.4% of the time it registered one, and detect a bear 93.6% of the time one was present. However, there was a minimal (1.8%) risk of accidental spraying of humans within range.(测试结果显示,当设备识别到棕熊时,准确率达91.4%;而当棕熊实际出现时,设备的检测率为93.6%。不过,对范围内人类误喷射的概率极低,仅为1.8%)”可知,该设备识别熊的准确率为91.4%,检测到熊的概率为93.6%,而对人类的误喷率仅为1.8%。这表明设备在大多数情况下识别和检测熊的表现稳定,误操作风险极低,整体可靠性较高。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段““Bears are highly adaptive, and I doubt a single spray will deter them long-term,” says Dave Garshelis, who runs a group focused on bears at the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. “They’ll probably find other ways to access human settlements and just avoid the machine itself.” He adds. (“棕熊的适应能力很强,我怀疑单次喷射无法长期阻止它们,”国际自然保护联盟熊类研究小组负责人Dave Garshelis说,“它们很可能会找到其他进入人类聚居区的方法,只是避开这台设备而已。”)”可知,Dave Garshelis认为棕熊适应性强,单次喷射无法长期阻止它们,且熊可能会找到其他进入人类聚居区的方法,只需避开设备即可。由此可知,他对于这种设备的长期效果存在质疑。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并根据第二段“To ease these conflicts, a team at Wuhan University in China, led by Peng Yuchen, has developed an innovative AI-controlled device. This system aims to identify bears using complex image recognition and turn them away with a targeted spray of a harmless but unpleasant mixture of capsaicin (辣椒素) and menthol (薄荷醇).(为缓解这些冲突,中国武汉大学的彭雨辰(音译)带领团队研发出一种创新的人工智能控制设备。该系统旨在通过复杂的图像识别技术识别熊,并针对性地喷射一种由辣椒素和薄荷醇混合而成的物质 —— 这种混合物无害但气味难闻,以此驱赶熊群)”文章可知,文章核心围绕“武汉大学团队研发的 AI 控制设备”展开,该设备通过图像识别技术识别藏棕熊,并喷射辣椒素与薄荷醇混合物驱赶它们,以缓解人熊冲突。选项A“AI System Uses Spray to Keep Bears Away(人工智能系统通过喷射驱赶熊群)”直接点明了“AI 系统”和“喷射驱熊”这两个核心要素,涵盖了文章的主要内容,可以作为最佳标题。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了我国探索了在南极洲发展清洁能源的一项重大突破,即一个为极地条件量身定制的清洁能源系统。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意:近年来,各国探索了在南极洲发展清洁能源的方法,太阳能和风能是主要重点。分析句子结构可知,空格处应该填写介词,因为空格后无提示词,也不是句子不需要加连词,且energy“能源”为不可数名词,不需要加冠词。根据句意看,介词with符合语境,表示前文提到的清洁能源中有太阳能和风能,是一种所属关系。故填with。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,极端条件和技术短缺使太阳能和风力发电设备难以保持稳定高效运行。分析句意可知,空格前后的句子在语义上构成转折关系。前文说“太阳能和风能是主要重点”,而后文却说“make it tough for solar and wind power generation equipment to maintain stable and efficient operation(使太阳能和风力发电设备难以保持稳定高效运行)”,构成转折关系,副词however“然而”符合语境。故填However。
【58题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:最近,为极地条件量身定制的清洁能源系统已在中国南极秦岭站投入运行。分析句子结构可知,动词tailor“为……量身打造,量体裁衣”需要改为过去分词形式,因为在句子它充当名词system“系统”的后置定语,构成被动关系。故填tailored。
【59题详解】
考查副词。句意:这是一项重大成就,因为它大大降低了空间站对化石燃料的需求及其对环境可能造成的危害。分析句意可知,形容词great“极好的”需要改为副词形式greatly“极大地,很大程度上”,因为它在句子用于修饰动词lower“降低”。故填greatly。
【60题详解】
考查不定式。句意:这一突破意味着中国已成为第一个在南极极端条件下实现清洁能源系统大规模运行的国家。分析句子结构可知,动词achieve“获得,实现”应该使用不定式,因为它在句子充当名词country“国家”的后置定语,且country前有序数词修饰,根据语法规则,名词前有序数词修饰时,使用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to achieve。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:自3月1日该系统推出以来,它取代了传统的柴油电源,为秦岭站的研究设备和基本生活设施提供了不间断的零碳电力,秦岭站于去年2月成立,是中国第五个南极研究站。分析句子结构可知,句子包含时间状语“Since the launch of the system on March 1(自3月1日该系统推出以来)”,故谓语动词replace“取代”应该使用现在完成时,主语为代词it,故助动词用has。故填has replaced。
【62题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:同上。分析句子结构可知,动词provide在句子不是谓语动词,而是伴随状语,即该系统取代传统的柴油电源的同时为秦岭站的研究设备和基本生活设施提供了不间断的零碳电力,故使用现在分词表示主动伴随的动作。故填providing。
【63题详解】
考查序数词。句意:同上。分析句意可知,数词five“五”在句子的应该表示的是序数词的含义,即这是中国第五个南极研究站,需要改为序数词形式fifth。故填fifth。
【64题详解】
考查关系副词。句意:在没有足够的风能或太阳能的情况下,储存的氢气可以用来提供额外的电力。分析句子结构可知,名词situations“情况”在句子充当的是抽象地点,但是它后面有一个定语从句用于修饰它,故可判断situations同时也是定语从句的先行词,而从句是there be句型,并不缺主要成分,分析可知situations在定语从句中也充当地点状语,故使用关系副词where引导定语从句符合语境。故填where。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意:Sun强调了确保设备稳定性和安全性的主要挑战。分析句子结构可知,空处作动名词ensuring“确保”的宾语,需要如并列宾语safety“安全”一样使用名词形式,即stability“稳定性”,表示抽象含义是不可数名词。故填stability。

【答案】Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m Li Hua, an exchange student from China. I am writing to propose the establishment of a Chinese Cultural Enrichment Society at our school.
In our school, an increasing number of students are curious about China driven by the growing fascination with Chinese culture on campus. This society can offer a platform where students engage in activities like Chinese calligraphy shows, tea ceremonies and traditional festival celebrations. It will certainly serve as a bridge for English students to experience Chinese culture closely, allowing hands-on exploration and promoting cross-cultural exchange. Hopefully, the Chinese Cultural Enrichment Society could motivate learning and unity at our school as well as intensify mutual understanding of China and the UK.
Looking forward to your favorable consideration
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,150字左右,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The first time I saw Frost, the Arctic fox, she was a shaking white shape under an old, metal trash bin behind our school cafeteria. It was the coldest part of January, when Alaska’s winter wind cut through clothes like knives. Her left paw was stuck in a thrown-away soda can, the broken edges cutting into her fur. Our eyes met — her look bright with fear, mine full of worry.
Mom always told me, “Wild animals aren’t like dogs or cats, Clara,” whenever I tried to help street cats. But Frost’s heavy breathing made my heart hurt. I crouched down slowly, taking off my scarf. “It’s okay,” I said softly, dropping pieces of my half-eaten lunch toward her. She jumped back but smelt the food carefully. Every day after school for a week, I came back with food, moving a little closer each time until she let me pull the can off her paw.
As winter deepened, Frost slowly became my secret friend. Every morning before school, I left pieces of chicken near the trash bin. At first, she only came out when I was far away. But by February, she would sit just three steps from me, her white fur shining under the pale sunlight. My classmates thought I was crazy, but I didn’t care. There was something magical about earning a wild animal’s trust.
One afternoon, something unexpected happened. Frost followed me all the way to my house! My heart raced as she stopped at the edge of our yard. Mom saw her through the kitchen window; “Is that...a fox?” she asked, her voice mixed with surprise and worry. But when Frost gently pawed at a fallen pinecone (松果), even Mom had to smile. “Just don’t let her inside,” she warned, though her eyes were soft.
Spring brought new surprises. Frost started “helping” around our home. She chased away rabbits from Mom’s garden and barked loudly when bears wandered too close. Sometimes she brought dead mice as “gifts”, which made Mom scream but secretly pleased her. Still, Frost remained wild. She never let us touch her, disappearing for days into the forest.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

One midnight during another April storm, we heard scratching at the door.

On my graduation day, Frost appeared at the school fence one last time.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 One midnight during another April storm, we heard scratching at the door. Seeing Frost trembling outside, we wrapped her in a warm blanket and let her stay in our porch, shielding her from the heavy rain and wind. She curled up next to me, her body trembling slightly from the cold but relaxing in our presence. We shared a silent bond, a sign to the friendship we had built over the months. In the morning, as the storm stopped, Frost stood up, stretched, and looked at us with gratitude in her eyes. Knowing it was time for her to return to the wild, we opened the door, and she left, stronger and healthier, disappearing into the forest with a final glance back.
On my graduation day, Frost appeared at the school fence one last time. She stood there, her once weak body now strong and fit, her white fur shining in the sunlight. As I walked closer, I saw sadness in her eyes, reflecting my own feeling of loss. She gave a soft bark, almost like she was saying goodbye. I knelt down and spoke gently to her. I knew she was ready to go back to her wild home, to wander freely. I watched her turn and disappear into the woods. I knew our time together was over, but the connection we had would never fade.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人与动物为线索展开,讲述了作者和一只名为Frost的北极狐之间从相遇、救助到建立深厚友谊,再到最终分别的全过程。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“又一个四月的暴风雨夜,午夜时分我们听到了敲门声。”以及第二段首句内容“毕业典礼那天,Frost最后一次出现在学校栅栏边。”可知,第一段可描写作者在门外发现了Frost,原来Frost无处避雨。最终,作者帮助Frost躲避了狂风暴雨。
②由第二段首句内容“毕业典礼那天,Frost最后一次出现在学校栅栏边。”可知,第二段可描写曾经虚弱的Frost如今非常矫健,而这次之后,Frost也最终回到了野生家园。
2.续写线索:一个暴风雨,作者听到了敲门声——打开门后,作者发现Frost在外面瑟瑟发抖——作者让Frost躲避了暴风雨——次日,Frost离开了作者家——毕业典礼那天,Frost最后一次出现在学校栅栏边——曾经虚弱的Frost如今非常结实矫健——作者看出了Frost的不舍,但是作者也知道是时候让Frost回到自己的野生家园了

The room felt electric with excitement. Tang Wensheng, a young interpreter, was about to start a big career. The leader of Guyana, Prime Minister Burnham, was coming. But just a few hours before, Tang knew nothing about him or his country.
She almost panicked. Then, she thought of her favorite way to learn: from books. She hurried to the library, looking for answers. Two books became her helpers — one about the history of Guyana, and one about Prime Minister Burnham. Hours passed quickly as she read about new places and people. When she walked into the meeting, she felt much more confident. Reading had turned a scary situation into a good chance to learn.
To stay sharp when she wasn’t working on important jobs, Tang found a creative way to practice — reading English detective stories. These interesting stories helped her keep her language skills strong and her vocabulary wide. Reading was not only for learning new things, but also for staying in top form.
Later, she worked at the China Daily newspaper. Every day, she had to understand lots of new information from around the world. It reminded her that she always had more to learn. However, the many books she had read gave her a strong base. Her trust in reading became like an anchor in a sea of information.
“Books teach you to be humble,” she said years later. “They show you how much you don’t know, and that makes you want to keep learning.” Now, when AI is becoming so important, Tang still believes in reading. “If we don’ t keep reading and learning,” she said, “we might get left behind as the world changes.” Reading, she proved, is more than just preparation; it’s a map that helps us find our way through life.
24. What was Tang’s initial reaction when she heard about Prime Minister Burnham’s arrival?
A. Confident in her interpretation.
B. Eager to read her favourite books.
C. Excited to meet a high-profile leader.
D. Worried about her lack of relevant knowledge.
25. How did detective novels contribute to Tang’s career?
A. They introduced her to the legal field.
B. They improved her logical reasoning.
C. They offered relaxation during breaks.
D. They enhanced her language proficiency.
26. What can we infer about Tang Wensheng’s personality from the passage?
A. Pessimistic & Hesitant. B. Gifted & Easygoing.
C. Hardworking & Persistent. D. Reserved & Independent.
27. Which of the following idioms best summarizes the main theme of the passage?
A. Live and learn.
B. Patience is a virtue.
C. Knowledge is power.
D. Fortune favors the bold.
C
The new service promises steep discounts and 30-minute delivery across major categoriesaiming to capture younger consumers and expand into lower-tier markets.
Alibaba has introduced its one-hour delivery service “Taobao Flash” nationwide ahead of schedule, stepping up its push in China’s increasing on-demand retail race. Originally set to launch on May 6, the platform went live across the country on May 2 following strong uptake during its pilot run in more than 50 cities.
The upgraded service is backed by Alibaba’s food delivery arm Ele. me and offers aggressive consumer rewards, including free drinks, cash coupons, and discounted meals. The company said it aims to combine “e-commerce pricing with instant delivery,” with flash-sale deals across categories like food, groceries, pharmacy, electronics, and clothing now available within 30 minutes.
Within 48 hours of the launch, Ele.me’s delivery orders hit record highs in 13cities. Sales of Cotti Coffee jumped tenfold in 24 hours, topping the platform’s coffee category. Over the May Day holiday, discounted drinks like milk tea and coffee surged more than 110% year-on-year, driven by flash deals and time-limited offers. The accelerated launch comes as rivals like JD.com and Meituan increase investments in instant delivery, expanding from their core strengths in e-commerce and food, separately.
All three are competing for an advantage over others in a sector expected to surpass 2 trillion yuan ($275 billion) by 2030, as consumers increasingly demand faster fulfillment and deeper discounts.
A Taobao Flash project spokesperson told The Beijing News: “Our current launch minimizes customer costs, freeing up resources for aggressive consumer subsidies(补贴).”
During the Labor Day holiday, Ele. me reported a sharp increase in late-night orders from travelers, with purchases between 10 p. m. and 5 a. m. accounting for more than 30% of total orders——1.6 times higher than local users, according to company data. Younger travelers fueled much of the demand, using 20% to 30% discounts to have snacks and drinks delivered from tourist hotspots to their hotels.
Industry analysts say Taobao’s launch has driven traffic and engagement well beyond initial expectations, helping brands reach more consumers—— especially in lower-tier markets.
28. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The market strategy of Taobao Flash.
B. The competition among different brands.
C. The Internet companies on the platform.
D. The challenges of launching a delivery service.
29. How do JD.com and Meituan differ in their instant delivery strategies?
A. They share identical service in the on-demand retail sector.
B. JD.com emphasizes electronics, while Meituan emphasizes clothing.
C. JD.com expands from e-commerce, while Meituan expands from food.
D. JD.com focuses on food discounts, while Meituan focuses on e-commerce.
30. The underlined word “surpass” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. fall behind B. be equal to C. go beyond D. set a goal for
31 What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To discuss the growth of holiday sales.
B. To introduce A libaba’s new delivery service.
C. To analyze the challenges of delivery services.
D. To compare Alibaba with JD.com and Meituan.
D
The increasing conflicts between humans and Tibetan brown bears on the Tibetan Plateau are a growing concern, potentially fueled by climate change impacting the animals’ traditional living spaces. This interruption leads to bears seeking food and shelter in human settlements, resulting in livestock loss, property damage, and even posing risks of serious injury or death to both humans and animals.
To ease these conflicts, a team at Wuhan University in China, led by Peng Yuchen, has developed an innovative AI-controlled device. This system aims to identify bears using complex image recognition and turn them away with a targeted spray of a harmless but unpleasant mixture of capsaicin (辣椒素) and menthol (薄荷醇).
The AI model was trained on a vast dataset of over 1,000 images of local wildlife, including over 600 featuring bears, alongside yaks, antelopes, and even humans. Engineered to distinguish bears from other species, the device consists of a camera, a small computer running the AI model, a solar panel for power, and a lithium (锂) battery capable of operating autonomously for up to 30 days. The spray, when activated, can reach bears up to 13 meters away.
According to the test findings, the machine can identify a bear 91.4% of the time it registered one, and detect a bear 93.6% of the time one was present. However, there was a minimal (1.8%) risk of accidental spraying of humans within range.
Some experts note that the field tests were conducted in controlled environments, raising questions about real — world applicability. “Bears are highly adaptive, and I doubt a single spray will deter them long-term,” says Dave Garshelis, who runs a group focused on bears at the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. “They’ll probably find other ways to access human settlements and just avoid the machine itself.” He adds.
He says that the project reminds him of US park rangers shooting bears with rubber bullets to keep them away from people, which worked up to a point. “The bears learned to stay away from people in uniforms carrying guns, but recognized that there was no danger of other people,” says Garshelis.
32. What caused the rise in human-bear tension on the Tibetan Plateau based on the passage?
A Decreased food supply for humans.
B. Increased human tourism in bear territory.
C Bear numbers exceeding the land’s capacity.
D. Shifting weather patterns affecting bear habitats.
33. What can be inferred about the device in paragraph 4?
A. It works reliably in most cases.
B. It requires constant human supervision.
C. It puts human safety ahead of accuracy.
D. It performs better in controlled environments.
34. What is Dave Garshelis’s attitude towards the AI-controlled device?
A. Hopeful. B. Skeptical. C. Indifferent. D. Hesitant.
35. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. AI System Uses Spray to Keep Bears Away
B. Saving Tibetan Bears with a Vast Database
C. Balancing Tech & Tradition: Saving the Bears
D. Low-Cost Tech Removes Human-Bear Conflicts

The first time I saw Frost, the Arctic fox, she was a shaking white shape under an old, metal trash bin behind our school cafeteria. It was the coldest part of January, when Alaska’s winter wind cut through clothes like knives. Her left paw was stuck in a thrown-away soda can, the broken edges cutting into her fur. Our eyes met — her look bright with fear, mine full of worry.
Mom always told me, “Wild animals aren’t like dogs or cats, Clara,” whenever I tried to help street cats. But Frost’s heavy breathing made my heart hurt. I crouched down slowly, taking off my scarf. “It’s okay,” I said softly, dropping pieces of my half-eaten lunch toward her. She jumped back but smelt the food carefully. Every day after school for a week, I came back with food, moving a little closer each time until she let me pull the can off her paw.
As winter deepened, Frost slowly became my secret friend. Every morning before school, I left pieces of chicken near the trash bin. At first, she only came out when I was far away. But by February, she would sit just three steps from me, her white fur shining under the pale sunlight. My classmates thought I was crazy, but I didn’t care. There was something magical about earning a wild animal’s trust.
One afternoon, something unexpected happened. Frost followed me all the way to my house! My heart raced as she stopped at the edge of our yard. Mom saw her through the kitchen window; “Is that...a fox?” she asked, her voice mixed with surprise and worry. But when Frost gently pawed at a fallen pinecone (松果), even Mom had to smile. “Just don’t let her inside,” she warned, though her eyes were soft.
Spring brought new surprises. Frost started “helping” around our home. She chased away rabbits from Mom’s garden and barked loudly when bears wandered too close. Sometimes she brought dead mice as “gifts”, which made Mom scream but secretly pleased her. Still, Frost remained wild. She never let us touch her, disappearing for days into the forest.
