Its flat landscape makes cycling exceptionally convenient and requires little physical effort, encouraging people of all ages to choose bicycles for their daily travel. Furthermore, the city has developed a remarkable infrastructure (基础设施) to support this lifestyle. Specialized bicycle paths run alongside most streets in the city center, ensuring a safer and smoother journey for cyclists. Enough bicycle parking spaces add to the overall convenience. As a result of these factors, cycling has become deeply rooted in the local culture — an impressive 38% of all trips are made by bike, earning Amsterdam the nickname “the City of Bicycles.” The city’s strong cycling culture has historical roots, specially the “white bikes” initiative that emerged in the 1960s. A group of cycling enthusiasts proposed an ambitious idea: banning cars from the city center and promoting bicycles as the primary mode of transport. They believed this would save energy, reduce pollution, and offer free public transport. To realize this vision, they painted hundreds of bicycles white and distributed them across Amsterdam for public use. The concept was simple — anyone could take a bike for a short trip and leave it for the next user at their destination. Unfortunately, this early system faced a major challenge: within weeks, most bicycles were stolen, causing the project to fail. However, the spirit of the “white bikes” was revived (复苏) in 1999 with a new system. The new-generation shared bicycles, though no longer white but painted in bright colors, were equipped with computer tracking technology. Users needed a special card to unlock a bike from a fixed parking station and were required to return it to another designated station near their destination. This improved model addressed previous issues and proved successful. Thanks to the persistent efforts and creative ideas of its citizens, Amsterdam now enjoys the benefits of a cycling-friendly environment, including reduced traffic congestion and cleaner air. The evolution of the “white bike” concept demonstrates how innovative thinking can transform urban transport, making cities more livable and sustainable. 24. Why is Amsterdam called “the City of Bicycles”? A. Because perfect bicycle paths lead to everywhere throughout the city. B. Because riding is integrated into nature, city planning and local culture. C. Because cycling for daily travel in the city gains increasing popularity. D. Because Amsterdam bans driving to work regardless of age and lifestyle. 25. Why did the initial white bike project fail? A. The bicycles required constant maintenance and became too expensive B. Most of the bicycles were stolen shortly after the program was launched. C. The public strongly opposed the idea of riding to work in the city center. D. It lacked enough funding and government’s support to continue the plan. 26. Which of the following best describes the new system? A. Advanced and secure. B. Demanding and fancy. C. Practical and complex. D. Flexible and expensive. 27. What is the best title of the passage? A. Amsterdam—the origin of bikes. B. Amsterdam—the home of riders. C. Amsterdam—a city driven by riding. D. Amsterdam—a city made for cycling. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍阿姆斯特丹因自然优势、完善骑行设施及深厚骑行文化获得“自行车之城”美誉。历经1960年代白自行车项目失败后，1999年新共享系统成功落地，让城市更宜居可持续。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Amsterdam stands as an excellent city for cycling due to a combination of natural advantages and thoughtful urban planning. Its flat landscape makes cycling exceptionally convenient and requires little physical effort, encouraging people of all ages to choose bicycles for their daily travel. Furthermore, the city has developed a remarkable infrastructure to support this lifestyle. Specialized bicycle paths run alongside most streets in the city center, ensuring a safer and smoother journey for cyclists. Enough bicycle parking spaces add to the overall convenience. As a result of these factors, cycling has become deeply rooted in the local culture — an impressive 38% of all trips are made by bike, earning Amsterdam the nickname “the City of Bicycles.”(阿姆斯特丹凭借自然优势与精心的城市规划，成为骑行的绝佳之地。其平坦的地形让骑行格外便捷，无需过多体力消耗，吸引着各年龄段人群选择自行车作为日常出行工具。此外，该市还打造了完善的基础设施以支持这种生活方式——市中心多数街道旁都设有专用自行车道，为骑行者提供更安全顺畅的行程，充足的自行车停车位也进一步提升了便利性。得益于这些因素，骑行已深深植根于当地文化之中：令人瞩目的是，38% 的出行都通过自行车完成，这也让阿姆斯特丹赢得了“自行车之城”的美誉)”可知，阿姆斯特丹被称为“自行车之城”是因为骑自行车的行为已经融入了自然环境、城市规划以及当地文化之中。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Unfortunately, this early system faced a major challenge: within weeks, most bicycles were stolen, causing the project to fail.(不幸的是，这个早期的系统遭遇了重大挫折：仅仅几周内，大多数自行车就被偷走了，致使该项目最终失败)”可知，最初的白色自行车项目未能成功是因为该项目启动后不久，大部分自行车就被盗了。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The new-generation shared bicycles, though no longer white but painted in bright colors, were equipped with computer tracking technology. Users needed a special card to unlock a bike from a fixed parking station and were required to return it to another designated station near their destination. This improved model addressed previous issues and proved successful.(新一代共享自行车虽然不再是白色，而是涂上了鲜艳的颜色，但它们都配备了电脑追踪技术。用户需要一张专用卡才能从固定的停车点解锁自行车，并且必须将其归还到目的地附近的一个指定停车点。这种改进的模式解决了之前的问题，并取得了成功)”可知，新系统先进且安全。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Amsterdam stands as an excellent city for cycling due to a combination of natural advantages and thoughtful urban planning.(阿姆斯特丹凭借自然优势与精心的城市规划，成为骑行的绝佳之地)”结合文章说明了阿姆斯特丹因自然优势、完善骑行设施及深厚骑行文化获得“自行车之城”美誉。历经1960年代白自行车项目失败后，1999年新共享系统成功落地，让城市更宜居可持续。可知，D选项“阿姆斯特丹——一座专为骑行而建的城市”最符合文章标题。故选D。 C A new study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine suggests that an inability to stand unsupported on one leg for 10 seconds in middle and older age is associated with nearly double the risk of death from any cause within the next decade. This simple balance test may be useful to include in routine physical exams for these age groups. The research noted that while aging leads to declines in physical fitness, muscle strength, and flexibility, balance remains reasonably well-preserved until a person’s 50s, when it starts to wane relatively rapidly. Previous research has linked poor one-legged balance to a greater risk of falls and cognitive decline. The study involved 1,702 participants aged 51 to 75 living in Brazil. During an initial check, they were asked to balance unsupported on one leg: placing the front of the free foot behind the standing leg, keeping arms by their sides, and eyes fixed straight ahead. Up to three attempts on either foot were permitted. Participants averaged 61 years old, with two-thirds being men. Approximately one in five (around 20%) failed to balance for 10 seconds at this initial checkup. Researchers monitored participants for seven years after the checkup. Within this period, 123 people (7%) died. The proportion (比例) of deaths among those who failed the test (17.5%) was significantly higher than among those who passed (4.5%). Study author Dr. Claudio Gil Araújo emphasized that the ability to balance on one leg is important for older people and reflects wider fitness and health levels. The study was observational and does not establish cause and effect, nor did it investigate potential biological mechanisms explaining the link between poor balance and longevity. However, those who failed the test generally had poorer health, including a higher proportion of people who were fat and/ or had heart disease, high blood pressure, unhealthy blood fat profiles, and type 2 diabetes. Conducted between 2009 and 2020 as part of a wider project starting in 1994, the study also found that the inability to complete the test increased markedly with age. Failure rates roughly doubled at following 5-year intervals from the 51-55 age group onwards. More than half (around 54%) of participants aged 71-75 failed, compared to just 5% in the 51-55 age bracket. 28. What does the underlined word “wane” in paragraph 2 possibly mean? A. Strengthen. B. Decrease. C. Expand. D. Spread. 29. What can we learn from the study? A. Those aged 51 and above were asked to balance the body. B. The participants had to stand on one leg with arms crossed. C. The majority of participants succeeded in balancing initially. D. Those failing to balance had double danger of death in later life. 30. How did the test failure rate change with age according to the finding? A. It increased just after age 70. B. It showed a slight and steady rise. C. It remained constant across all ages. D. It roughly doubled every five years. 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. The imbalance of body tends to increase with the flexibility falling. B. The imbalance of standing on one leg suggests higher risks of death. C. Irregular physical exercise does harm to building up muscle strength. D. The inability to stand stably causes higher rates of developing diseases. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项研究发现，中老年人单腿无支撑站立10秒失败与未来十年全因死亡风险翻倍相关，且失败率随年龄增长而升高。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“The research noted that while aging leads to declines in physical fitness, muscle strength, and flexibility, balance remains reasonably well-preserved until a person’s 50s, when it starts to wane relatively rapidly. Previous research has linked poor one-legged balance to a greater risk of falls and cognitive decline.(该研究指出，虽然衰老会导致身体素质、肌肉力量和柔韧性下降，但平衡在50多岁之前仍然保持得相当好，直到50多岁时，平衡开始相对迅速地wane。之前的研究表明，单腿平衡不良与跌倒和认知能力下降的风险更大有关)”可知，50多岁之前，平衡性保持得相当好，推测此处表示的是50多岁时，平衡开始相对迅速地减弱，划线单词wane表示“减弱”，与Decrease意义相近。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Approximately one in five (around 20%) failed to balance for 10 seconds at this initial checkup.(大约五分之一（约20%）的参与者在初次检查中未能平衡10秒)”可知，80%左右的参与者初次平衡测试成功，即大多数参与者成功。故选C项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Failure rates roughly doubled at following 5-year intervals from the 51-55 age group onwards.(从51-55岁年龄组开始，之后每5年，失败率大致翻倍)”可知，测试失败率每五年大致翻倍。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine suggests that an inability to stand unsupported on one leg for 10 seconds in middle and older age is associated with nearly double the risk of death from any cause within the next decade. (发表在《英国运动医学杂志》上的一项新研究表明，中老年人无法单腿站立10秒，在未来十年内死于任何原因的风险几乎翻了一番)”以及文章内容可知，文章核心是单腿站立失衡与更高死亡风险的关联。故选B项。 D Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming China’s job market, creating a rise in opportunities and significant talent shortages. This booming field presents a complex picture of exciting possibilities alongside persistent challenges. The AI job market in China is experiencing explosive growth. From January to July 2025, the number of new AI-related positions increased more than tenfold compared to the same period last year, with resume submissions (简历提交) increasing 11 times. Over 1, 000 companies posted 72,000 AI-related jobs on the Maimai platform alone. Major internet companies like ByteDance, Xiaohongshu, and Alibaba are leading the recruitment (招聘) drive, while specialized AI firms are also actively competing for talent. The rate of AI in new positions has now gone beyond 10% in the new economy sector, a tenfold increase from the previous year. Despite the boom, a significant talent gap remains, particularly for technical roles. Algorithm-related (算法相关) positions are most in demand, with “search algorithm” experts being the most scarce. The talent supply-demand rate for this role is just 0.39, meaning roughly five positions compete for only two qualified individuals. This shortage has driven salaries upward. The average monthly salary for new AI positions reached 61,475 yuan during the first seven months of 2025, a 4.33% year-on-year increase. Recent graduates are also benefiting, with over half of entry-level AI positions offering monthly salaries more than 50,000 yuan. Some top companies, like Microsoft and Alibaba’s Pingtouge, offer average monthly salaries surpassing 90,000 yuan for new AI positions. While the job market booms, China’s AI development faces several barriers. Experts point to a “broken chain” in the ecosystem, where computing power, model development, and final application fail to form a closed loop (闭环) with users. Unlike other regions, China lacks a mature SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) market, forcing companies to tackle more complex, end-to-end business integration from the start. Furthermore, the technology itself has limitations. AI models can produce “hallucinations” (错觉), generating seemingly reasonable but actually incorrect information. This poses serious risks in critical fields like healthcare, where inaccurate AI suggestions could lead to misdiagnosis. The rise of AI in China creates a paradox. It generates numerous opportunities as well as existing problems. And now, the key challenge lies in taking advantage of the market’s energy to address its weaknesses. The future will depend not only on cultivating more specialized talent but also on building a more practical AI ecosystem that can truly transform industries. 32. Why are statistics listed in paragraph 2? A. To stress the increasing job opportunities. B. To analyse the challenges of job market. C. To show the appearance of new AI firms. D. To highlight the importance of resumes. 33. What does the underlined “this role” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The economy sector. B. The economy expert. C. Search algorithm experts. D. Professional interviewers. 34. What is the main reason for high salaries in new AI positions? A. Shortage of qualified talents. B. Fewer graduates in AI fields. C. Rapid advances of AI technology. D. Competition among top companies. 35. How can China’s AI develop better according to the passage? A. By creating more complicated computer ecosystems. B. By training AI models to collect logical information. C. By developing specialists and practical AI ecosystem. D. By drawing on global energy to solve tricky problems. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. A 35.

However, they just work better on some birds than others. Tests in 1980 showed that small ponds with a scarecrow nearby had 95% fewer visits from local ducks. ____36____ In the 1930s, a wildlife scientist named K. R. Lagler put a scarecrow on a floating object at a fish farm in West Virginia. While most birds stayed away, kingfishers (翠鸟) weren’t scared at all. Let’s leave water aside for a minute. ____37____ But here, their ability to protect crops is also not good unless people try extra hard. Traditional motionless scarecrows might keep the birds like crows and blackbirds away at first, but this effect doesn’t last long. Birds quickly get used to the still figures and start eating crops again. ____38____ Studies show that scarecrows with lifelike faces and bright clothes work a little better. Besides, moving a scarecrow around every few days often helps. A study in 1989 also confirmed that the best scarecrows have movement. The researcher found a very effective setup — a human-shaped model pushed up by a double propane cannon (双丙烷加农炮). ____39____ In the future, farmers may use more high-tech tools instead. For example, the “Agrilaser” uses random, moving laser beams that make no noise. Its makers say birds never get used to this. ____40____ It has an infrared (红外线的) eye that watches an area of 178,000 square feet. When it sees an animal getting too close, it sends out a harmless supersonic sound to scare it away. These technologies try to fix the main problem with old scarecrows: birds get used to them too easily. A. Surprisingly, they ended up in vain. B. However, not all birds care about them. C. Above all, some researchers stated different views. D. After all, most people think of scarecrows in fields. E. It protected up to 6 acres of sunflowers from blackbirds. F. Luckily, a few tricks can make scarecrows work better. G. Another new idea is the solar-powered digital scarecrow. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. F 39. E 40.

She called each student to the front of the class, one at a time. First she told them how the student made a difference to the class. Then she presented each of them with a blue ribbon (丝带) with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes A Difference”. Afterwards the teacher decided to do a class project to see how others recognition influences a person. She gave each student three more ribbons and asked them to spread this acknowledgement ceremony. Then they were to follow up on the results, to see who honored whom and report back to the class in a week. One of the boys in the class went to a manager in a nearby company and honored him for helping him with his career planning. He gave him a blue ribbon and put it on his shirt. Then he gave him two extra ribbons, and said, “We’re doing a class project on recognition, and we’d like you to find somebody else to honor, and give them a blue ribbon, then give them the extra blue ribbon so they can acknowledge a third person to keep this acknowledgement ceremony going.” Later that day, the manager went to see his boss, who was kind. He told his boss that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. The boss seemed very surprised. The manager asked him if he would accept the gift of the blue ribbon. His surprised boss said, “Well, sure.” The manager placed it right on his boss’s jacket above his heart. As he gave him the last extra ribbon, he said, “Would you do me a favor? Would you take this extra ribbon and pass it on by honoring somebody else?

Besides the boy’s mother, his son is the most important person in his life. The boss even commented that his son is a great kid and showed his love to his lovely kid. Hearing what his father said, the shocked boy couldn’t stop crying. His whole body shaking, he looked up at his father and said through his tears, “I was planning on running away from home secretly tomorrow, Dad, because I didn’t think you loved me. Now I won’t.” The boy expressed his admiration and love for his dad and described how he felt lonely when he was ignored and even how moved he felt when he received his father’s ribbon. He knew he was important to his Dad and to his family. The boss hugged his son tightly and promised he would spend more time accompanying his son. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了纽约一位老师为表彰学生，赠予他们蓝丝带，并让学生做项目、传递认可。一男生将丝带送给公司经理，经理转赠老板，老板也接受并被告知继续传递，以探究认可对人的影响。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容 “那天晚上老板回家，见到了他14岁的儿子。” 可知，第一段可描写老板向儿子分享自己因创意获得荣誉的经历，拿出额外的丝带决定表彰儿子，接着坦诚自己以往对儿子的严苛，表达儿子对自己的重要性和真挚的父爱。 ②由第二段句首内容 “听到父亲的话，震惊的男孩忍不住哭了起来。” 可知，第二段可描写男孩的激动与感动，坦白自己原本计划离家出走的想法及原因，表达对父亲的敬爱与被忽视时的孤独，最后描写父子紧紧相拥，父亲承诺会多陪伴儿子，凸显亲情沟通的力量。 2.续写线索：老板回家见到儿子——老板分享获奖与表彰他人的机会——老板用丝带表彰儿子并致歉以往严苛——老板表达儿子的重要性与父爱——男孩因父亲的话震惊落泪——男孩坦白离家计划及原因并表达情感——父子相拥，父亲承诺多陪伴 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①给予：give/present/hand over ②承认：admit/acknowledge/confess ③尖叫：scream/shout/yell 情绪类 ①爱：love/affection ②孤独：lonely/isolated 【点睛】【高分句型1】The boy expressed his admiration and love for his dad and described how he felt lonely when he was ignored and even how moved he felt when he received his father’s ribbon.

B Amsterdam stands as an excellent city for cycling due to a combination of natural advantages and thoughtful urban planning. Its flat landscape makes cycling exceptionally convenient and requires little physical effort, encouraging people of all ages to choose bicycles for their daily travel. Furthermore, the city has developed a remarkable infrastructure (基础设施) to support this lifestyle. Specialized bicycle paths run alongside most streets in the city center, ensuring a safer and smoother journey for cyclists. Enough bicycle parking spaces add to the overall convenience. As a result of these factors, cycling has become deeply rooted in the local culture — an impressive 38% of all trips are made by bike, earning Amsterdam the nickname “the City of Bicycles.” The city’s strong cycling culture has historical roots, specially the “white bikes” initiative that emerged in the 1960s. A group of cycling enthusiasts proposed an ambitious idea: banning cars from the city center and promoting bicycles as the primary mode of transport. They believed this would save energy, reduce pollution, and offer free public transport. To realize this vision, they painted hundreds of bicycles white and distributed them across Amsterdam for public use. The concept was simple — anyone could take a bike for a short trip and leave it for the next user at their destination. Unfortunately, this early system faced a major challenge: within weeks, most bicycles were stolen, causing the project to fail. However, the spirit of the “white bikes” was revived (复苏) in 1999 with a new system. The new-generation shared bicycles, though no longer white but painted in bright colors, were equipped with computer tracking technology. Users needed a special card to unlock a bike from a fixed parking station and were required to return it to another designated station near their destination. This improved model addressed previous issues and proved successful. Thanks to the persistent efforts and creative ideas of its citizens, Amsterdam now enjoys the benefits of a cycling-friendly environment, including reduced traffic congestion and cleaner air. The evolution of the “white bike” concept demonstrates how innovative thinking can transform urban transport, making cities more livable and sustainable. 24. Why is Amsterdam called “the City of Bicycles”? A. Because perfect bicycle paths lead to everywhere throughout the city. B. Because riding is integrated into nature, city planning and local culture. C. Because cycling for daily travel in the city gains increasing popularity. D. Because Amsterdam bans driving to work regardless of age and lifestyle. 25. Why did the initial white bike project fail? A. The bicycles required constant maintenance and became too expensive B. Most of the bicycles were stolen shortly after the program was launched. C. The public strongly opposed the idea of riding to work in the city center. D. It lacked enough funding and government’s support to continue the plan. 26. Which of the following best describes the new system? A. Advanced and secure. B. Demanding and fancy. C. Practical and complex. D. Flexible and expensive. 27. What is the best title of the passage? A. Amsterdam—the origin of bikes. B. Amsterdam—the home of riders. C. Amsterdam—a city driven by riding. D. Amsterdam—a city made for cycling. C A new study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine suggests that an inability to stand unsupported on one leg for 10 seconds in middle and older age is associated with nearly double the risk of death from any cause within the next decade. This simple balance test may be useful to include in routine physical exams for these age groups. The research noted that while aging leads to declines in physical fitness, muscle strength, and flexibility, balance remains reasonably well-preserved until a person’s 50s, when it starts to wane relatively rapidly. Previous research has linked poor one-legged balance to a greater risk of falls and cognitive decline. The study involved 1,702 participants aged 51 to 75 living in Brazil. During an initial check, they were asked to balance unsupported on one leg: placing the front of the free foot behind the standing leg, keeping arms by their sides, and eyes fixed straight ahead. Up to three attempts on either foot were permitted. Participants averaged 61 years old, with two-thirds being men. Approximately one in five (around 20%) failed to balance for 10 seconds at this initial checkup. Researchers monitored participants for seven years after the checkup. Within this period, 123 people (7%) died. The proportion (比例) of deaths among those who failed the test (17.5%) was significantly higher than among those who passed (4.5%). Study author Dr. Claudio Gil Araújo emphasized that the ability to balance on one leg is important for older people and reflects wider fitness and health levels. The study was observational and does not establish cause and effect, nor did it investigate potential biological mechanisms explaining the link between poor balance and longevity. However, those who failed the test generally had poorer health, including a higher proportion of people who were fat and/ or had heart disease, high blood pressure, unhealthy blood fat profiles, and type 2 diabetes. Conducted between 2009 and 2020 as part of a wider project starting in 1994, the study also found that the inability to complete the test increased markedly with age. Failure rates roughly doubled at following 5-year intervals from the 51-55 age group onwards. More than half (around 54%) of participants aged 71-75 failed, compared to just 5% in the 51-55 age bracket. 28. What does the underlined word “wane” in paragraph 2 possibly mean? A. Strengthen. B. Decrease. C. Expand. D. Spread. 29. What can we learn from the study? A. Those aged 51 and above were asked to balance the body. B. The participants had to stand on one leg with arms crossed. C. The majority of participants succeeded in balancing initially. D. Those failing to balance had double danger of death in later life. 30. How did the test failure rate change with age according to the finding? A. It increased just after age 70. B. It showed a slight and steady rise. C. It remained constant across all ages. D. It roughly doubled every five years. 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. The imbalance of body tends to increase with the flexibility falling. B. The imbalance of standing on one leg suggests higher risks of death. C. Irregular physical exercise does harm to building up muscle strength. D. The inability to stand stably causes higher rates of developing diseases. D Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming China’s job market, creating a rise in opportunities and significant talent shortages. This booming field presents a complex picture of exciting possibilities alongside persistent challenges. The AI job market in China is experiencing explosive growth. From January to July 2025, the number of new AI-related positions increased more than tenfold compared to the same period last year, with resume submissions (简历提交) increasing 11 times. Over 1, 000 companies posted 72,000 AI-related jobs on the Maimai platform alone. Major internet companies like ByteDance, Xiaohongshu, and Alibaba are leading the recruitment (招聘) drive, while specialized AI firms are also actively competing for talent. The rate of AI in new positions has now gone beyond 10% in the new economy sector, a tenfold increase from the previous year. Despite the boom, a significant talent gap remains, particularly for technical roles. Algorithm-related (算法相关) positions are most in demand, with “search algorithm” experts being the most scarce. The talent supply-demand rate for this role is just 0.39, meaning roughly five positions compete for only two qualified individuals. This shortage has driven salaries upward. The average monthly salary for new AI positions reached 61,475 yuan during the first seven months of 2025, a 4.33% year-on-year increase. Recent graduates are also benefiting, with over half of entry-level AI positions offering monthly salaries more than 50,000 yuan. Some top companies, like Microsoft and Alibaba’s Pingtouge, offer average monthly salaries surpassing 90,000 yuan for new AI positions. While the job market booms, China’s AI development faces several barriers. Experts point to a “broken chain” in the ecosystem, where computing power, model development, and final application fail to form a closed loop (闭环) with users. Unlike other regions, China lacks a mature SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) market, forcing companies to tackle more complex, end-to-end business integration from the start. Furthermore, the technology itself has limitations. AI models can produce “hallucinations” (错觉), generating seemingly reasonable but actually incorrect information. This poses serious risks in critical fields like healthcare, where inaccurate AI suggestions could lead to misdiagnosis. The rise of AI in China creates a paradox. It generates numerous opportunities as well as existing problems. And now, the key challenge lies in taking advantage of the market’s energy to address its weaknesses. The future will depend not only on cultivating more specialized talent but also on building a more practical AI ecosystem that can truly transform industries. 32. Why are statistics listed in paragraph 2? A. To stress the increasing job opportunities. B. To analyse the challenges of job market. C. To show the appearance of new AI firms. D.

However, they just work better on some birds than others. Tests in 1980 showed that small ponds with a scarecrow nearby had 95% fewer visits from local ducks. ____36____ In the 1930s, a wildlife scientist named K. R. Lagler put a scarecrow on a floating object at a fish farm in West Virginia. While most birds stayed away, kingfishers (翠鸟) weren’t scared at all. Let’s leave water aside for a minute. ____37____ But here, their ability to protect crops is also not good unless people try extra hard. Traditional motionless scarecrows might keep the birds like crows and blackbirds away at first, but this effect doesn’t last long. Birds quickly get used to the still figures and start eating crops again. ____38____ Studies show that scarecrows with lifelike faces and bright clothes work a little better. Besides, moving a scarecrow around every few days often helps. A study in 1989 also confirmed that the best scarecrows have movement. The researcher found a very effective setup — a human-shaped model pushed up by a double propane cannon (双丙烷加农炮). ____39____ In the future, farmers may use more high-tech tools instead. For example, the “Agrilaser” uses random, moving laser beams that make no noise. Its makers say birds never get used to this. ____40____ It has an infrared (红外线的) eye that watches an area of 178,000 square feet. When it sees an animal getting too close, it sends out a harmless supersonic sound to scare it away. These technologies try to fix the main problem with old scarecrows: birds get used to them too easily. A. Surprisingly, they ended up in vain. B. However, not all birds care about them. C. Above all, some researchers stated different views. D. After all, most people think of scarecrows in fields. E. It protected up to 6 acres of sunflowers from blackbirds. F. Luckily, a few tricks can make scarecrows work better. G. Another new idea is the solar-powered digital scarecrow. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，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。 Forty years has made most memories become unclear, but one 1959 summer afternoon stays vivid — not the heat or my paper route, but a lesson in ____41____ wrapped in seven dollars and a bag of cookies.
