Mark Twain was widely respected during his lifetime for his sharp satire(讽刺), characteristic humor, and much-loved characters. Twain's literary journey began with his first successful story, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County (1865), a masterpiece of humor. It was not long after the publication of this story that Twain traveled to Hawaii, then known as the Sandwich Islands, to work as a reporter. His work mainly consisted of writing travel letters which were very well-received by readers. The letters focused on humor as well as the Sandwich Islands and the success of these letters became the basis for his frequent lectures. During the 1860s, lectures were a popular form of entertainment, much like going to the cinema today. Twain's lectures offered humorous accounts of his trips to places like the Sandwich Islands, Paris, Egypt, and other various locations. These lectures, beyond providing him with additional money to support future travels, also brought more attention to his written works. In 1873, Twain's first novel The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today was published. It was written with his friend and neighbor Charles. While the use of humor and satire was praised in the novel, it was not considered successful due to its lack of cohesion(凝聚力)since it was written separately by the two writers. One reviewer compared it to a poorly mixed salad dressing. Twain's next attempt at a novel was much more successful. Published in 1876, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of the most successful works of children's literature in history. Praised for its humor and description of life in Missouri along the Mississippi River, the novel is still in print today and has been adapted into television shows, films, stage plays, and even video games. 4. Which work marked the beginning of Twain's writing career? A. The Million Pound Bank Note. B. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. C. The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today. D. The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. 5. What was one of the key topics in Twain's travel letters during the 1860s? A. Popular lectures. B. Historical accounts. C. The Sandwich Islands. D. The Mississippi River. 6. What can be learned from paragraph 3 about Twain's first novel? A. It was co-written. B. It was successful. C. It was for children. D. It was adapted into games. 7. What is a shared element in Twain's works mentioned in this text? A. War. B. Humor. C. Love. D. Money. C One of the most important impacts of AI is in the field of education, where tools like ChatGPT have already begun to change how students learn and teachers teach. But as AI develops, a new player is entering the scene: DeepSeek. DeepSeek is not just another AI tool — it’s an intelligent all-round platform designed to address the unique needs of the education field. One of the biggest challenges in education is meeting the diverse learning needs of students. DeepSeek can analyze individual learning patterns and adapt contents accordingly. For example, if a student struggles with math, DeepSeek can provide personalized exercises and explanations to help them master the concepts. This level of personalization goes beyond what ChatGPT currently offers, making DeepSeek a powerful tool for differentiated instruction. To understand how DeepSeek’s personalization works in practice, consider a real-world example from a high school in California, which uses DeepSeek to address the diverse learning needs of its students. By analyzing performance data, DeepSeek identifies that about 30% of students are struggling with physics. It then provides personalized exercises and video lessons to help these students catch up. Within a few months, the school sees a 20% improvement in physics test scores. Rather than viewing DeepSeek and ChatGPT as competitors, it’s more reasonable to see them as complementary (互补的) tools. ChatGPT can handle general tasks like answering questions or producing contents, while DeepSeek focuses on specialized educational applications. Together, they can create an all-round AI-powered learning ecosystem. As we look to the future, one thing is clear: AI tools like DeepSeek and ChatGPT are not just improving education — they’re reshaping it. Whether you’re a student, teacher, or institution, now is the time to embrace these technologies and unlock their full potential (潜能). 8. What is the advantage of DeepSeek over ChatGPT in education? A. It responds more quickly. B. It provides entertainment content. C. It focuses on personalized and adaptive learning. D. It has a larger database of educational resources. 9. How is paragraph 3 developed? A. By listing. B. By giving an example. C. By classification. D. By making an explanation. 10. What may be the author’ attitude towards DeepSeek and ChatGPT? A. The author likes DeepSeek better. B. The author considers them competitors. C. The author is doubtful about both tools. D. The author thinks they can make up for each other. 11. What does the underlined word “embrace” probably mean? A. Accept. B. Control C. Teach. D. Improve. D Even their greatest fans — wildlife scientists — were left in the dark about the population of Northern Saw-whet Owls (猫头鹰) in one state in the middle of their range. Concerned that the Saw-whet population was decreasing and might require legal protection, scientists sought to get an exact count of the small owls. The results were shocking, as the researchers discovered that the owls were not endangered at all. Instead, the Saw-whet’s lifestyle — completely nighttime, staying mostly quiet, and living high in the forest away from human populations — allowed them to remain undetected. In fact, they were probably the most common small hunters in the forests of that state. There are around 250 species of owls worldwide, and they vary widely in habitat and size. Owls can be found on every continent except Antarctica, living in a wide variety of habitats, ranging from Snowy Owls in the Arctic to Desert Owls in the Middle East. The largest owl is the Blakiston’s Fish Owl of eastern Asia, which weighs about 10 pounds. The smallest is the 39.7-gram Elf Owl of the southwestern United States, a bird that would fit comfortably in your hand. Owls are tough, highly adapted birds with diverse diets. Some are specialists, eating only fish, or others only insects. But most are generalists, eating a wide variety of other small animals. And they are huge hunters: a Barn Owl with a family of six babies to feed will catch around 1,000 small animals in a three-month period. With their secretive nature, owls are difficult to study. In recent years, modern and some not-so-modern technologies are being put to use. Small GPS satellite transmitters (发射机) are now being placed on netted individuals to track their flights. Other researchers have placed hundreds of microphones in remote forest areas to locate owl nests. Others are locating nests by training dogs to smell owl waste. With clearer locations, it would be easier to carry out research and protection for them. 12. What made the research result of Northern Saw-whet Owls surprising? A. Their small size. B. Their quiet habitat. C. Their unique lifestyle. D. Their factual population. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss about owls? A. The diversity. B. The diets. C. The weight. D. The names. 14. Why is the Bam Owl mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To show owls love their kids. B. To conclude owls live a hard life. C. To prove owls can be tough hunters. D. To indicate owls are picky about food. 15. Which section of a magazine may this passage be taken from? A. Novel ideas. B. Scientific Findings. C. History Facts. D. Modern Technology. 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。 Music Education and Its Impact on Students’ Learning Music education can greatly help students learn. Research from the University of California shows that students with musical training score about 20% higher in language and math tests. It is not just an art form but a powerful educational tool. ___16___ Here are some of the key ways it impacts students’ academic and thinking abilities. Language Skill Development Learning songs like You Are My Sunshine exposes students to vocabulary beyond textbooks. Words like “sunshine” and “dear” are naturally acquired through repetitive melodies, which strengthen pronunciation and grammar awareness. ___17___ For example, some pop songs introduce modern slang (俚语) like “self-made” and “daydream”, while classical lyrics (歌词) teach formal expressions. This linguistic diversity strengthens communication abilities. Memory Improvement ___18___ Have you ever suddenly recalled forgotten songs from childhood? Scientists call this the “melodic memory effect”. Catchy melodies (旋律) activate the brain’s hippocampus — the key memory center. Educational songs like the ABC song use beats to make facts unforgettable. When preparing performances, students memorize rhythms and volume changes — skill transferable to studying history or math. Mental Power Increase Music works both sides of the brain. ___19___ When you play the piano, for example, the left brain works on reading musical notes (logic), while the right brain focuses on expressing emotions (creativity). Additionally, reading music trains pattern recognition — a skill used in solving math problems. Group performances also teach teamwork and quick thinking. In conclusion, music education plays a vital role in learning. It supports academic growth and thinking skills. ___20___ A. But how exactly does it improve learning? B. Group singing reduces classroom participation. C. It provides rich language input through varied songs. D. A common experience reveals music’s memory power. E. Music theory classes improve mathematical reasoning. F. Brain research shows it uses the entire brain effectively. G. Such a combined method makes learning effective and enjoyable. 第二部分语言运用(共三节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) Ursula always hiked with a companion.

Countless times. I had practiced perfect English conversations in my mind, but when it came to the real thing, I would freeze and couldn’t say anything. I would be afraid of messing up the grammar and even worried that my classmates would laugh at my strong native language accent, though it never happened. I admired my classmates who could chat fluently with native speakers, but I felt trapped by my own self-doubt. My hands would get sweaty, and my voice would tremble (颤抖) whenever my teacher called on me in class. One sunny afternoon, I was looking through books in a local bookstore. Golden sunlight shone through the bookstore’s large windows with warm light over the rows of bookshelves. It was quiet with not many customers. The soft low sound of customers turning through pages and the slight smell of freshly printed paper filled the air. While searching for an illustrated book in front of the bookshelf, I heard a tense conversation at the checkout counter. A foreign customer stood there, holding a piece of paper covered in messy Chinese characters. He was trying to explain something to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper seemed not to understand a word. She stared back in total confusion, with a polite yet helpless smile on her face. The customer’s face turned red with annoyance, while the shopkeeper just shook her head, clearly lost. My heart raced as I realized they were speaking English. Every part of me wanted to run, but my feet felt glued to the floor. A storm of thoughts took over my mind: “What if I can’t even understand them?” I stood frozen, trapped in a mental fight between fear and the desire to help. 1. 续写一段，词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After what felt like ages, I took a deep breath and approached them. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day, I discovered that stepping out of my comfort zone wasn’t so scary as I’d imagined.

The customer’s face lit up with relief. “Oh, thank goodness! I’m looking for this book, but I can’t seem to make the shopkeeper understand,” he said, showing me the paper. As I translated his request for a rare travel guide about local ancient towns, my previous nervousness started to melt away. The shopkeeper rushed to the back room and searched through piles of books. When the shopkeeper finally found the right volume, the customer thanked me sincerely. That day, I discovered that stepping out of my comfort zone wasn’t so scary as I’d imagined. (结尾句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
