ORDER SMILE CARDS To request Smile Cards, please fill out the form below. A volunteer will mail you an order of ten cards within two weeks. Smile Cards are offered to anyone who requests them on a pay-it-forward basis. That means there is no charge for a set of cards. Someone before you has paid for your cards, and you are invited to keep the chain going and pay-forward whatever you wish for the next person! For special events or circumstanced, you can also place a large quantity of request. Note: When using a Smile Card, remember not to just hand it out by itself. The idea is to do something kind for someone and then leave the Smile Card behind, so that they know someone reached out to them, and that they are invited to pay-forward the kindness and keep the rippled going! Country: *-select - Name: * ________ There is a daily maximum order for each country. Please select a country first to make sure we have not exceeded the quota(定额) for the day. Address: *________ City: * ________ State: *- select- Email address: * ________ Inspiration: * ________ Please tell us what inspired you to order Smile Cards, and give us an example of a kind act you’d like to do using them.

It tasted of sharp berries and smelt of sour grapes. My family lived in a cabin in the countryside, but I lived in my mother’s arms. They were so delicate but strong, and her red hair falling around me was like a curtain that separated me from the world. Childhood was simple. The borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and monsters only lived in the pages of books. Every day was a waking dream of running races and muddy knees. My village was archaic, dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions. There weren’t many children but me and the other boys; boys of butchers and sellers formed our own group. They called us wild. I suppose we were. Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter. Liberated from the restrictions of society, we would bound into the woods, deeper and deeper until we found a lake which, with a wild yell, we would jump into all at once. My most vivid memories from boyhood center around that lake. Water shone brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into the outcry from birds. The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom. As we submerged, time would stop, movements slowing as bubbles rose around us. I was drowning. I was living. I was living. I was drowning. For timelessness or a second (both felt the same), we would pause, curl up, and then be forced back out into breathing air. We should have known that it wouldn’t last forever. Yet, even under the best circumstances, there’s something so tragic about growing up: your perspective on the people and life around you changes; you always struggle to reach a mirror, only to find yourself tall enough to see your reflection one day and find a different person staring back out at you. 24. Why does the author describe his mother’s red hair as “a curtain that separated me from the world”? A. To show her artistic personality. B. To emphasize her protective presence. C. To illustrate his fascination with colors. D. To reveal his fear of social interactions. 25 What does the underlined word “archaic” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Old-fashioned. B. Time-honored. C. Mountain-ringed. D. Poverty-stricken. 26. What does the lake symbolize in the author’s boyhood memories? A. A dangerous pause in time. B. A mirror reflecting adulthood. C. A place of social restrictions. D. A temporary escape from reality. 27. What message does the author convey in the last paragraph? A. Struggle and challenge make a man grow up. B. Childhood joy is completely erased by growth. C. Growth often brings unavoidable self-reinvention. D. The regret of growth is that people and life always change. C In the cutthroat world of artificial intelligence, long dominated by Silicon Valley, DeepSeek has emerged as an impressive new player. Since its debut in late 2023, this Chinese AI has stirred global attention, representing more than just another technological innovation. It’s a complex phenomenon that reflects the shifting landscape of innovation, power and cultural influence in the AI-driven era. Developed by QuantumThink Labs in Shenzhen, DeepSeek was created by a team of ex-Google Brain engineers and Peking University experts. DeepSeek is not your average chatbot. Trained on an astonishing 20 trillion tokens, this multimodal model showcases linguistic proficiency, code generation capabilities and reasoning skills that rival or surpass its Western counterparts. What truly sets DeepSeek apart is its remarkable efficiency, delivering GPT-4-level performance with 30 percent less computational power. In a strategic move, QuantumThink made a “lite” version of DeepSeek open source, a decision that has sparked widespread adoption across the globe. Developers from cities like Lagos to Jakarta have quickly embraced it to create poetry generators and AI-powered farm management tools for rural India. However, DeepSeek’s growing influence is not without challenges. There are concerns that US government may block American firms from using DeepSeek, mentioning data security concerns. Tariff (关税) war could also be on the cards. Yet, such moves might backfire, potentially harming US startups that benefit from DeepSeek’s cost advantages. The future of AI, with DeepSeek at the center, remains a mystery. Will it trigger a tech battle between the US and China, or will its open-source roots foster global collaboration? DeepSeek’s story is not just about technology; it’s about the power of innovation and agency. For too long, the AI narrative has been dominated by Western powers. Now, a Chinese lab has shown that innovation is not exclusive to the West. Whether we enter an AI arms race or begin a new era of global cooperation depends on how we choose to use and share this technology. As a Brazilian coder said, the future of AI must speak the language of both the developed and developing world to truly succeed. 28. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? A. The creation of DeepSeek. B. The definition of DeepSeek. C. The strengths of DeepSeek. D. The efficiency of DeepSeek. 29. What might be a challenge DeepSeek faces? A. Involvement in tariff war. B. The possibility of data leaking. C. A decline in its competitiveness. D. A ban on its use from US government. 30. Which of the following best describes the future of AI? A. Uncertain. B. Secure. C. Promising. D. Depressing. 31. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. AI should prioritize Western languages. B. We will enter a new era of global AI cooperation. C. Considering global needs is required to ensure AI’s success. D. Developing countries will eventually dominate AI innovation. D When we sleep, our brain is still actively processing the day’s experiences and integrating them with past memories. Previous studies have identified links between pupil (瞳孔) size and sleep state, as well as between sleep state and memory formation. However, it has been unclear how fresh memories are processed without blurring into old ones. For example, how do we learn to play the piano without forgetting how to ride a bike? Researchers at Cornell University addressed this question by attaching brain-scanning electrodes and tiny eye-tracking cameras to mice. They monitored the mice as they learned new tasks during the day, such as navigating a maze, and then observed them during sleep. (Fun fact: mice can sleep with their eyes open.) The study revealed two distinct substages during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, a critical period for memory formation. One substage replayed new memories, coinciding with narrowed pupils. The other involved recalling older memories, marked by widened pupils. These stages alternated rapidly. The team also discovered that during the narrowed pupil stages, blocking sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) limited the mice’s ability to remember new information. It is also found that the brain has an intermediate (中间的) period that separates new learning from old knowledge. The results suggest that the brain can multitask distinct cognitive processes during sleep to facilitate continuous learning without interference. It’s like new learning, old knowledge, new learning, old knowledge, shifting slowly throughout sleep. The implications of the study are far-reaching: such a non-invasive means of monitoring brain function may help treat memory issues and boost memory, for example. The study also supports the hypothesis (假说) that human brains and computer systems may significantly forget old information. Catastrophic forgetting, known in AI, is an area where machines still lag behind biology. What’s more, the findings provide a potential solution for preventing catastrophic interference while enabling memory integration in both biological and artificial neural networks. Despite the many similarities between human and mouse brains, similar studies need to be conducted in humans to verify these results. 32. What do researchers at Cornell University focus on? A. How pupil size is related to sleep state. B. How people learn to perform new tasks. C. How memories are kept without interference. D. How sleep state is connected with memory formation. 33. What is the finding of the study? A. Blocking SWRs removes old memories. B. The brain processes new memories first. C. Widened pupil is associated with replaying new memories. D. A transitional stage distinguishes old memories from new ones. 34. What is the implication of the study? A. It provides an invasive solution to memory study. B. It helps avoid large-scale interference and integrate memory. C. It denies that brains and computers may forget information dramatically. D. It supports that machines perform better in catastrophic forgetting than brains. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A.Code of Memory Integration in Sleep. B. Role of Sleep in Memory and Learning. C. Pupil Size: A Window into Human Brain. D. A Breakthrough: How Mice Sleep with Eyes Open. 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Creativity isn’t something that comes naturally to everyone. If you aren’t an artist or someone in an “artsy” field, you might wonder why creativity is important. Here, you may find the answer. 36 Creativity is the key to the door of expression, no matter what form of creativity you choose. It could be painting or anything that brings interesting things out. All conveys how you really feel on the inside and reveals things you may not be comfortable about. Feeling discouraged and frustrated about something? 37 It takes your mind off what’s bothering you while you’ re still engaging your mind in something more fun. Actually, creating something, like baking, drawing, etc., is like running the engine of your mind. Thinking creatively always opens up possibilities. 38 Oftentimes, people get stuck in the mindset and patterns they used to employ to solve difficulties. While the old way might still get the job done, if your problem-solving was more creative, it could give you new perspectives to help you do better. Creativity has been proven in extensive research to relieve both stress and anxiety. Sometimes, among life’s responsibilities, we forget that we need and deserve downtime and self-care. 39 It’s like a cure for your mental health. When you think creatively and overcome challenges, you’re proving to yourself that you’re a capable person. Creativity plays a part on your way to self-recognition. 40 A. Creativity makes you more productive. B. Doing something creative can help you shake off a bad mood. C. Turning to creativity can give you more of what you need in this area. D. Organizing your thoughts creatively makes them more real and clearer. E. Freedom of expression is considered important to a person’s well-being. F. That’s because with creativity, people can see things from different angles. G. During this lengthy road, creativity allows you to be aware of your strengths. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 JongMay Urbonya is an American lady full of 41 : she is fluent in Mandarin, fond of hanfu and Chinese dance.

We could help raise money if we stayed off our phones for an entire week. I loved the idea of doing something for nature, but it was summer vacation! Giving up my phone for one day felt hard enough, let alone a whole week. After some back-and-forth, I submitted my application on the very last day, ready to see if I could survive the challenge. The day before the event, Mrs. Smith, our coordinator (项目负责人), explained the details. The goal was to encourage people to shift their attention from screens to nature and to raise money to upgrade the trails in the forest and around the pond of the park. As for us participants, we would lock our phones for seven days, and on the eighth day, we’d share our experiences at an event attended by community supporters. Mrs. Smith reminded us we could quit anytime if it became too difficult. With a mix of dread and determination, I placed my phone in the locker, closing the door to Mrs. Smith’s reassuring smile. Thus began my week-long social media detox (脱瘾). On the morning of the first day, my hand automatically reached for the bedside table, but my phone was missing. No checking messages before getting up. No e-reading during breakfast. No going through social media at times. I spent my first day doing homework, housework, reading, and watching TV. But from time to time, I felt around in my pockets, only to find my phone wasn’t there. The day seemed longer and I felt a sense of loss. But I was glad I had more time for something I wanted to do. The second day went OK, but by the third, my anxiety boomed. I struggled to focus, and the urge to check my phone grew overwhelming. Impatient and restless, I called Mrs. Smith, ready to quit. To my surprise, she gently suggested I take a walk in the park. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Not understanding what her intention was, I still headed to the park. The day to regain my phone finally came. 高三年英语科试题 第8页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 永春一中2025届高三年英语试题参考答案（2025.4） 第一部分听力 （共两节，满分30分） 1-5 ACABC 6-10 BABAC 11-15 BAACC 16-20 BCABB 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 21-23 DAB 24-27 BADC 28-31 CDAC 32-35 CDBA 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 36-40.

I’ve planned a fantastic Intangible Cultural Heritage experience for you. First, we can visit a traditional paper-cutting workshop. I tried it once and was amazed by the intricate designs and the skill required. It’s a perfect way to appreciate Chinese folk art. We can also explore shadow puppetry, which is like watching a magical play with handmade puppets. I was fascinated by the stories and the craftsmanship. I’m sure you’ll love these unique experiences. Can’t wait to explore more with you! Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） One possible version: Not understanding what her intention was, I still headed to the park. As I stepped onto the newly paved trail, sunlight filtered through leaves painting golden patterns on the ground. A squirrel darted across my path, its fluffy tail bouncing playfully. I noticed children laughing by the pond, skipping stones without phones in hand. Breathing deeply, the scent of trees cleared my mind. Gradually, my anxious thoughts melted like morning mist. For the first time in days, I felt present, truly seeing nature’s details I’d always overlooked through phone screens. I decided to hold on until the last day. The day to regain my phone finally came. Mrs. Smith handed me the device with a knowing smile. Surprisingly, I hesitated before unlocking it. At the sharing event, I described firefly-watching nights and conversations with elderly walkers — experiences I’d have missed. The community cheered as we revealed the donation total: enough to build birdwatching stations along the trails. Later, I found myself placing my phone aside voluntarily, choosing instead to sketch the sunset from my window, its colors more vivid than any digital display. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
