Lakshmi spends hours every day digging up large yams (山药) that grow under the soil. Some yams weigh 5 kg and are almost as tall as she is. Lakshmi says this work is very hard.
Lakshmi lives in Kerala, a state in southern India. She is part of an all-women group called Noorang. The women in Noorang belong to one of Kerala’s oldest tribes (部落). They are trying to save yams. These yams have grown on their land for many years.
But yams are no longer a main diet among tribal communities in Kerala due to their rapidly changing lifestyle. Young people have many other foods to eat, like rice and wheat. They do not think yams are special anymore.
Bad weather also hurts yam harvests. In the past, floods and landslides caused many yams to die. Recently, there was a sharp decline in lands dedicated to yam production in Kerala, with many of these being changed to the more rubber cultivation instead.
“The women grow yams to feed their families and to keep these rare yams from disappearing,” says Lakshmi. “We believe yams can cure some illnesses,” says Shantha, another member of Noorang. “Many mothers here think yams are good for the stomach.”
Since 2022, the Noorang group has brought back 180 kinds of wild yams. They have fifteen kinds of wild yams, three kinds of elephant yams, eight kinds of Colocasias, seven kinds of sweet potatoes, and one kind of Chinese potato. “Our goal is to save rare yams and grow more,” says Sarasu, a member of Noorang.
4. What is the Noorang’s main task?
A. Getting more people to eat yams. B. Selling yams for more profits.
C. Protecting ancient types of yams. D. Growing yams instead of rubber.
5. Why are yams no longer a main diet for locals?
A. People didn’t realize their nutrition.
B. Local people’s lifestyle has changed.
C. Yams have gone from the region.
D. Yams are now a fancy food.
6. What caused yam production to drop greatly recently?
A. Flooding and deadly landslides. B. A ban on yam cultivation.
C. The introduction of new yams. D. The shift to rubber cultivation.
7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

Learn all about chips made for AI
AI芯片到底强在哪?
In this age of rapid AI technological advancement, most people would know the name NVIDIA, a prominent (著名的) US technology company.
For a long time, NVIDIA has been dominating the graphics cards (显卡) industry with its advanced computer chips. Earlier this year, it became the first chipmaker to have a market worth of 2 trillion dollars (about 14.5 trillion yuan), showing fast growth due to its focus on developing chips specifically designed for running AI models.
What is an AI chip?
The uniqueness of AI chips comes from the GPU, or graphics processing unit, which is the core (核心的) component of a graphics card. It was developed by NVIDIA in the late 1990s. Initially designed for video game development, it presents surprising computing power. Unlike a central processing unit (CPU), which can only process one piece of data at a time, a GPU can process many pieces of data at once, which is called “parallel processing (并行处理)”. This allows a GPU to handle complex tasks, such as rendering (渲染) high-resolution graphics and processing large amounts of data, much more efficiently than a CPU.
Therefore, gamers buy GPUs to get a better video game experience since GPUs can help create 3D characters and scenes that run smoothly and look realistic. People also saw the value of GPUs in solving complex calculations required for cryptocurrency (加密货币) mining. That’s why the price of GPUs doubled or even tripled between 2019 and 2021.
Nowadays, as GPUs prove to be key to AI model training, more advanced AI chips are being made for specialized AI tasks. Companies such as OpenAI and Google use AI chips to speed up and enhance (增强) their AI, machine learning, and deep learning algorithms (算法). These chips are especially useful for improving the performance of large language models. With their excellent ability to handle numerous pieces of data at a time, the sky’s the limit for AI chips.
For everyday people, AI chips in our phones allow AI processing to happen on the device rather than in the cloud. This makes data processing faster, safer, and more energy-efficient.
8. What does the underlined word “dominating” in paragraph 2 most likely mean?
A. Promoting. B. Controlling.
C. Learning about. D. Paying attention to.
9. What makes GPUs important for AI model training?
A. Their availability at low prices.
B. Their capacity for storing large amounts of data.
C. Their ability to process multiple pieces of data at once.
D. Their performance in cryptocurrency mining.
10. What is the main focus of paragraph 5?
A. The high demand for CPUs.
B. Possible applications of GPUs.
C. Why GPUs are popular.
D. How GPUs perform complex calculations.
11. How do AI chips contribute to the development of AI technologies?
A. They boost CPU performance.
B. They improve the gaming experience.
C. They increase the value of cryptocurrencies.
D. They enhance deep learning algorithms.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】

Birdcages are the treasure of Kala village
卡拉鸟笼: 美美民族风,浓浓非遗范
Birds have been closely related to big harvests in the culture of the Miao ethnic group. The Miao people have loved birds for generations. That’s why people see delicate (精致的) birdcages hanging in front of many households in the Miao villages.
“The Miao people love birds so much that they even bring their birds with them while working hard in the fields,” said Wang Qiu, a 35-year-old inheritor (传承者) of the Kala birdcage-making craft. “Even if they slip (滑倒), the birdcages they carry carefully remain fine.”
Located in the northeast of Danzhai county, Guizhou province, Kala village is famous for its time-honored cage-weaving craft, which dates back over 400 years. In 2009, it was listed as a provincial intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of Guizhou.
“Kala birdcages are famous for their remarkable firmness,” explained Wang. “Each cage is carefully crafted from the sturdy moso bamboo (结实的楠竹) and the flexible water bamboo (柔韧的水竹). The former provides hardness, while the latter contributes resilience (韧性), resulting in a cage that is durable.”
After marrying her husband in Kala village, Wang was attracted by the excellent cage-weaving craft there. Wang Yuhe, her father-in-law and a Kala birdcage-making inheritor, taught her everything he knew about the craft. As a member of the younger generation, Wang Qiu injects vigor (活力) into the centuries-old craft.
“With the growing awareness of wildlife protection, the population of people who hunt and raise birds has been decreasing, so has been the need for birdcages,” said Wang. “So, I decided to combine closely art with everyday life, meeting the needs of a broader range of consumers.” Wang designs and makes everyday items, from bookshelves and lampshades (灯罩) to graceful earrings in the shape of Kala birdcages.
In her efforts to show Kala birdcages to a wider audience, Wang has been sharing videos of her skills on social media. “I hope that my videos can attract more people and get them to learn about the fascinating skills of Kala village as well as the splendid culture of the Miao people.”

(我在云南泼水节的时光是一次探索之旅)”,概括了文章主旨,引出下文的感悟,说明了作者在泼水节的经历是一次文化探索之旅。故选F项。

The stage was simple: For example, ____42____ whip could represent a horse, and a screen with Chinese characters could represent a study. The movements of the performers were also fascinating.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是作者看《哈姆雷特》的京剧改编版的体验。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:作为一名西方人,我对《哈姆雷特》了解颇多,但在京剧来到我们这座城市之前,我从未想过要欣赏京剧版的《哈姆雷特》——《 王子复仇记》(即《哈姆雷特》的京剧改编版)。know about/of sth意为“了解/知道某事物”。故填about/of。
【37题详解】
考查动名词。句意:作为一名西方人,我对《哈姆雷特》了解颇多,但在京剧来到我们这座城市之前,我从未想过要欣赏京剧版的《哈姆雷特》——《 王子复仇记》(即《哈姆雷特》的京剧改编版)。设空处作thought of的宾语,of是介词,空格处应用动名词enjoying。故填enjoying。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:京剧以一段音乐开场,那音乐给我带来了全新的感受,后来有人告诉我,演奏出那段音乐的乐器叫作京胡。设空处引导定语从句,定语从句中缺少主语。先行词music指物,故用关系代词that或which引导该从句。故填that/which。
【39题详解】
考查时态,被动语态和主谓一致。句意:京剧以一段音乐开场,那音乐给我带来了全新的感受,后来有人告诉我,演奏出那段音乐的乐器叫作京胡。and后为并列分句,该分句中第一个that引导宾语从句,作told的宾语,设空处为该从句的谓语,第二个that引导定语从句,修饰先行词instrument。instrument与动词call之间为被动关系,应用被动语态,根据空前的told me以及made可知,此处应用一般过去时,主语the instrument为单数名词,故助动词用was。故填was called。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:这是因为音乐、动作和哑剧表演帮助观众理解了故事的含义。由the和of可知,空格处用名词,mean的名词是meaning,意为“意义”,是不可数名词,故填meaning。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意:演员们的嗓音独特,给我留下了深刻的印象。空格处用代词的宾格me作宾语,故填me。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:舞台布置很简单:例如,一根马鞭就可以代表一匹马,一块写有汉字的屏风就可以代表一间书房。whip是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,whip是辅音音素开头,因此不定冠词用a,故填a。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意:演出结束时,每个人都热烈鼓掌。and前后时态一致,由前面的ended可知,句子时态是一般过去时,空格处用过去式clapped,故填clapped。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这场演出激动人心,所有观众都被它吸引住了。空格处用形容词作表语,主语The performance是演出,因此用ing结尾的形容词exciting修饰,意为“激动人心的”,故填exciting。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:所以,如果你想欣赏一场与《哈姆雷特》主题完美契合的中国戏曲,那就来看《王子复仇记》吧。空格处用副词perfectly修饰动词matches,perfectly意为“完美地”,故填perfectly。

【答案】
Reading Time VS Screen Time Before Bed
Good evening, honorable judges and fellow students!
Today, I want to discuss a crucial choice we face every night: reading books versus scrolling on phones before bed.
Scientific studies prove that reading not only reduces stress significantly but also improves next-day concentration to a great extent, which helps us relax, enhances memory, and prepares our minds for learning. In contrast, smartphones emit harmful blue light, delaying sleep by an average of 40 minutes. Excessive screen time damages eyesight, weakens mental health, and even lowers cognitive abilities.
Let’s make a wiser decision tonight: Replace 30 minutes of screen time with reading. Small changes bring great rewards — better sleep, sharper minds, and brighter futures!
Thank you!

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。
Tom and John were classmates and deskmates. Tom was a diligent student who always took his studies seriously, while John was the opposite. John rarely studied and often relied on others to help him out. He would constantly ask Tom for answers during exams or copy his homework, and Tom had always found excuses to avoid helping him cheat.
One day, as the final exam was approaching, John nervously turned to Tom and said, “Hey, Tom, you know I’m not good at studying. Could you help me cheat during the exam? I promise I’ll make it up to you.”
Tom was taken aback. He had always believed in the importance of honesty and hard work. He knew that cheating was wrong, but he also didn’t want to hurt John’s feelings. After a moment of hesitation, Tom replied, “John, I understand that the final exam can be stressful, but cheating is not the right way to deal with it. We should be honest and work hard to earn our grades.”
John looked disappointed but didn’t say anything. The day of the exam arrived, and as expected, John struggled. He looked at Tom’s desk several times, hoping for a glimpse (瞥见) of the answers, but Tom was focused on his own paper, determined to do his best. Tom could sense John’s frustration, but he knew he had to stay true to his principles.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As the exam progressed, John became more and more anxious.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day on, John began to take his studies more seriously.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As the exam progressed, John became more and more anxious. He kept tapping his pencil nervously and glancing around the room, hoping to catch a glimpse of someone else’s answers. At one point, he even tried to signal Tom again, but Tom just shook his head slightly. John’s frustration grew, and he felt a knot in his stomach. He realized that he had put himself in this position by not studying, and he couldn’t blame anyone else for it. When the exam finally ended, John sighed heavily and sat in his chair. He knew he had failed, but he also knew that cheating wouldn’t make him any smarter.
From that day on, John began to take his studies more seriously. He approached Tom after school and asked for help, promising to put in the effort. Tom agreed, and they started studying together every evening. John slowly improved as he began to understand the material better. He even attended extra tutoring sessions and spent more time reviewing his notes. By the time the next exam came around, John was much more confident. He managed to pass with a good grade, and he felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. He realized that hard work and honesty were far more rewarding than cheating. Tom was proud of John’s progress, and their friendship grew stronger as they continued to support each other.

Four Excellent Museums for Kids to Explore
An injection of knowledge, Leeds
The Thackray Museum of Medicine in Leeds is giving a huge makeover recently.

There are talks, displays, games as well as some information about health heroes over the years.
Adults: £12; children aged 5-15: £10; children under 5: free.
Follow that train, Walthamstow, London
A huge steam engine stands at the entrance to the small, indoor-outdoor. Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum. Two 1967 Victoria Line carriages sit side by side with the cabs open to the would-be train drivers. Fireman Frank displays the fire engine featured in TV programs such as London’s Burning.

Adults: £16; children aged 5-15: £12; children under 5: free.
Go back in time, Chichester, West Sussex

Lakshmi spends hours every day digging up large yams (山药) that grow under the soil. Some yams weigh 5 kg and are almost as tall as she is. Lakshmi says this work is very hard.
Lakshmi lives in Kerala, a state in southern India. She is part of an all-women group called Noorang. The women in Noorang belong to one of Kerala’s oldest tribes (部落). They are trying to save yams. These yams have grown on their land for many years.
But yams are no longer a main diet among tribal communities in Kerala due to their rapidly changing lifestyle. Young people have many other foods to eat, like rice and wheat. They do not think yams are special anymore.
Bad weather also hurts yam harvests. In the past, floods and landslides caused many yams to die. Recently, there was a sharp decline in lands dedicated to yam production in Kerala, with many of these being changed to the more rubber cultivation instead.
“The women grow yams to feed their families and to keep these rare yams from disappearing,” says Lakshmi. “We believe yams can cure some illnesses,” says Shantha, another member of Noorang. “Many mothers here think yams are good for the stomach.”
Since 2022, the Noorang group has brought back 180 kinds of wild yams. They have fifteen kinds of wild yams, three kinds of elephant yams, eight kinds of Colocasias, seven kinds of sweet potatoes, and one kind of Chinese potato. “Our goal is to save rare yams and grow more,” says Sarasu, a member of Noorang.
4. What is the Noorang’s main task?
A. Getting more people to eat yams. B. Selling yams for more profits.
C. Protecting ancient types of yams. D. Growing yams instead of rubber.
5. Why are yams no longer a main diet for locals?
A. People didn’t realize their nutrition.
B. Local people’s lifestyle has changed.
C. Yams have gone from the region.
D. Yams are now a fancy food.
6. What caused yam production to drop greatly recently?
A. Flooding and deadly landslides. B. A ban on yam cultivation.

Learn all about chips made for AI
AI芯片到底强在哪?
In this age of rapid AI technological advancement, most people would know the name NVIDIA, a prominent (著名的) US technology company.
For a long time, NVIDIA has been dominating the graphics cards (显卡) industry with its advanced computer chips. Earlier this year, it became the first chipmaker to have a market worth of 2 trillion dollars (about 14.5 trillion yuan), showing fast growth due to its focus on developing chips specifically designed for running AI models.
What is an AI chip?
The uniqueness of AI chips comes from the GPU, or graphics processing unit, which is the core (核心的) component of a graphics card. It was developed by NVIDIA in the late 1990s. Initially designed for video game development, it presents surprising computing power. Unlike a central processing unit (CPU), which can only process one piece of data at a time, a GPU can process many pieces of data at once, which is called “parallel processing (并行处理)”. This allows a GPU to handle complex tasks, such as rendering (渲染) high-resolution graphics and processing large amounts of data, much more efficiently than a CPU.
Therefore, gamers buy GPUs to get a better video game experience since GPUs can help create 3D characters and scenes that run smoothly and look realistic. People also saw the value of GPUs in solving complex calculations required for cryptocurrency (加密货币) mining. That’s why the price of GPUs doubled or even tripled between 2019 and 2021.
Nowadays, as GPUs prove to be key to AI model training, more advanced AI chips are being made for specialized AI tasks. Companies such as OpenAI and Google use AI chips to speed up and enhance (增强) their AI, machine learning, and deep learning algorithms (算法). These chips are especially useful for improving the performance of large language models. With their excellent ability to handle numerous pieces of data at a time, the sky’s the limit for AI chips.
For everyday people, AI chips in our phones allow AI processing to happen on the device rather than in the cloud. This makes data processing faster, safer, and more energy-efficient.
8. What does the underlined word “dominating” in paragraph 2 most likely mean?
A. Promoting. B. Controlling.
C. Learning about. D. Paying attention to.
9. What makes GPUs important for AI model training?
A. Their availability at low prices.
B. Their capacity for storing large amounts of data.
C. Their ability to process multiple pieces of data at once.
D. Their performance in cryptocurrency mining.
10. What is the main focus of paragraph 5?
A. The high demand for CPUs.
B. Possible applications of GPUs.
C. Why GPUs are popular.
D. How GPUs perform complex calculations.
11. How do AI chips contribute to the development of AI technologies?
A. They boost CPU performance.
B. They improve the gaming experience.
C. They increase the value of cryptocurrencies.
D. They enhance deep learning algorithms.

Birdcages are the treasure of Kala village
卡拉鸟笼: 美美民族风,浓浓非遗范
Birds have been closely related to big harvests in the culture of the Miao ethnic group. The Miao people have loved birds for generations. That’s why people see delicate (精致的) birdcages hanging in front of many households in the Miao villages.
“The Miao people love birds so much that they even bring their birds with them while working hard in the fields,” said Wang Qiu, a 35-year-old inheritor (传承者) of the Kala birdcage-making craft. “Even if they slip (滑倒), the birdcages they carry carefully remain fine.”
Located in the northeast of Danzhai county, Guizhou province, Kala village is famous for its time-honored cage-weaving craft, which dates back over 400 years. In 2009, it was listed as a provincial intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of Guizhou.
“Kala birdcages are famous for their remarkable firmness,” explained Wang. “Each cage is carefully crafted from the sturdy moso bamboo (结实的楠竹) and the flexible water bamboo (柔韧的水竹). The former provides hardness, while the latter contributes resilience (韧性), resulting in a cage that is durable.”
After marrying her husband in Kala village, Wang was attracted by the excellent cage-weaving craft there. Wang Yuhe, her father-in-law and a Kala birdcage-making inheritor, taught her everything he knew about the craft. As a member of the younger generation, Wang Qiu injects vigor (活力) into the centuries-old craft.
“With the growing awareness of wildlife protection, the population of people who hunt and raise birds has been decreasing, so has been the need for birdcages,” said Wang. “So, I decided to combine closely art with everyday life, meeting the needs of a broader range of consumers.” Wang designs and makes everyday items, from bookshelves and lampshades (灯罩) to graceful earrings in the shape of Kala birdcages.
In her efforts to show Kala birdcages to a wider audience, Wang has been sharing videos of her skills on social media. “I hope that my videos can attract more people and get them to learn about the fascinating skills of Kala village as well as the splendid culture of the Miao people.”
12. According to the article, why do Miao people hang birdcages in front of their households?
A. To attract birds.
B. To celebrate big harvests.
C. To show love for birds.
D. To show off their craftsmanship.
13. What are Kala birdcages known for?
A. Their attractive appearances.
B. Their long-lasting quality.
C. Their collectible value.
D. Their complex craftwork.
14. What does the second to last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Difficulties in selling Kala birdcages.
B. The increasing public interest in Kala birdcages.
C. Wang’s creativity in connecting her craft to daily life.
D. The excellent craftsmanship shown in Wang’s works.
15. How does Wang promote the craft of Kala birdcages?
A. By teaching students in schools.
B. By simplifying cage-weaving skills.
C. By selling Kala birdcages online.
D. By sharing videos on social media.

Tom and John were classmates and deskmates. Tom was a diligent student who always took his studies seriously, while John was the opposite. John rarely studied and often relied on others to help him out. He would constantly ask Tom for answers during exams or copy his homework, and Tom had always found excuses to avoid helping him cheat.
One day, as the final exam was approaching, John nervously turned to Tom and said, “Hey, Tom, you know I’m not good at studying. Could you help me cheat during the exam? I promise I’ll make it up to you.”
Tom was taken aback. He had always believed in the importance of honesty and hard work. He knew that cheating was wrong, but he also didn’t want to hurt John’s feelings. After a moment of hesitation, Tom replied, “John, I understand that the final exam can be stressful, but cheating is not the right way to deal with it. We should be honest and work hard to earn our grades.”
John looked disappointed but didn’t say anything. The day of the exam arrived, and as expected, John struggled. He looked at Tom’s desk several times, hoping for a glimpse (瞥见) of the answers, but Tom was focused on his own paper, determined to do his best. Tom could sense John’s frustration, but he knew he had to stay true to his principles.
