A famous American poet Robert Frost once said, “Poetry is what gets lost in translation. ”But XuYuanchong, well-known Chinese translator, had tried to convey the beauty of ancient Chinese poetry throughout his life. His teacher Qian Zhongshu commented on his poetry translation, “You are dancing while chained by rhyme and rhythm, but the dance shows amazing freedom and beauty, which is quite impressive.”
Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad. Most notably, he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English and French. He was also the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature.
Xu was known to be very fastidious in his work. For him, English is a “ scientific” language that needs exactness while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content. Following this principle, Xu kept not only faithfulness in the sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation.
Through Xu’s translations, time-honored Chinese wisdom has made an impact on Western societies and the world. For example, when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a healthcare project during his presidency, some senators disagreed at first. But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow translated by Xu, one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama.
Having made such great achievements, Xu maintained a routine. Every day he translated about1, 000 words, working till 3 to 4 a. m., sleeping for about 3 hours and getting up at 6 a. m. to continue.“ Translation is a means of communicating with the writer’s soul. A sudden flicker of a good word or a good line thrills every pore (毛孔) and every inch of my skin,” Xu said.
4. What does the text tell us about Xu Yuanchong?
A. He mastered at least three foreign languages.
B. He translated about 100 Chinese works into English.
C. He was the first winner of the Aurora Borcalis Prize.
D. He was widely known for his translated rhymed verses.
5. What does the underlined word “fastidious” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Particular. B. Satisfied. C. Inventive. D. Productive.
6. Why does the author give the example in Paragraph 4?

C. To show Xu’s great translation skills. D. To prove the wisdom of the ancient Chinese.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Xu?
A Thoughtful and modest. B. Generous and objective
C. Creative and open-minded. D. Devoted and hard-working.

At the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, animals are getting their paws dirty with harmless water-based paints to create unique works of art. Is there a growing Picasso in the group?
According to information from the zoo, painting is one of many activities that fall under Animal Enrichment — a programme that provides physically and mentally stimulating (增进健康的) activities and environments for the zoo’s residents. The animals have the opportunity not only to choose how to behave, but also to use their natural abilities and behaviours in new and exciting ways.
Enrichment is a necessary part of the daily care of the species in the zoo’s collection. Keepers carefully study animals’ behaviours and determine what kinds of enrichment programmes are suitable for each species. Keepers have a number of choices for enrichment. They may change an exhibit, train an animal, introduce new smells, sounds, foods, and objects, or enlist an animal in a research project, such as a study about the skills to search for food or cognitive (认知的) research. Adding a variety of engaging activities helps keepers ensure the zoo’s animals have a high quality of life.
Though the subjects of the animals’ paintings remain mysterious, visitors to the zoo can support the effort by dropping off canvas (画布), art paper, paint brush or harmless water-based paints at the Visitor Centre for the animal care staff to give to the animals. Zoo keepers are collecting gifts for the animals this holiday season.
Art produced by many of the zoo’s residents will be available for purchase at the American Association of Zoo Keepers’ Art Show, which will take place next spring. If you are interested, you can also go and buy one.

Dutch startup Nuwa claims to have invented the “world’s most advanced pen” that digitizes (数字化) notes written by hand. The Groningen-based company announced a fresh cash injection of €1.5 million to promote the development of the product, which uses an inbuilt camera system, motion sensors, and artificial intelligence to capture text written on paper.
“Just write, and Nuwa Pen digitizes,” Marc Tuinier, Nuwa’s CEO, told us. All the notes are then stored on the startup’s app. They can then be organized, shared, and integrated with other apps. A particularly fascinating feature is intelligent notes, which scans and identifies rich text items such as dates, to-dos, and phone numbers from the notes. Users can then link the data with, for instance, their calendar, to-do app, or phone book. The feature is integrated with over 50 apps. Nuwa compares it to a personal assistant that puts you on top of your schedule.
Nuwa is targeting the product at people who still enjoy writing with a pen and notebook. While many smart pens only work on screens or digital writing systems, Nuwa promises adaptability with every type of paper. The product also uses regular ink refills. “Other smart pen brands rely on special dotted paper to recognize what the user is writing, so you’ll also be stuck buying their paper,” Tuinier said. “Nuwa Pen can be used on any paper.”
The Nuwa system is built around tiny design. The device weighs just 28 grams — about as much as a single AA battery — but provides enough power for two hours of continuous writing. Three tiny cameras are used to digitize the text with 2 mm×2 mm sensors. All the data is then processed directly on the device. “Capturing handwriting from these sensors in the pen itself, while a pen is constantly moving, is an extremely difficult task to get right — and we’ve done it,” Tuinier said. By combining the trusty old ballpoint pen with the digital world, Nuwa hopes that it can solve one of those needs. The device is now available for pre-order.
12. What is the primary function of the Nuwa Pen?
A. Integrating pens with other apps.
B. Organizing handwritten notes digitally.
C. Combining all apps into a single platform.
D. Providing a solution for personal schedules.
13. Who is the Nuwa Pen’s main target buyer?
A. People who prefer typing over handwriting.
B. People who show interest in smart ink refills.
C. People who have an extra budget for paper purchase.
D. People who appreciate traditional pen and paper writing.
14. Why does the author list a series of numbers in the last paragraph?
A. To show how portable the device is.
B. To explain the structure of the cameras.
C. To demonstrate the device’s operating time.
D. To describe the materials used in the device.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the Nuwa Pen?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C. Neutral. D. Enthusiastic.

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。
When school was over, the day was fading and it started to drizzle (毛毛雨). I stood at the school gate, with a loaded backpack on my shoulders. It was Friday again: a weekend of joy with unlimited sleeping hours and dinner courses specially made to my taste, a weekend at home. I waved goodbye to my friends as they jumped into their fathers' warm and comfortable cars. Curiously, this gave rise to a disturbing feeling in me. It was not exactly what they called jealousy, but something like dismay (沮丧). I knew all I could expect was an old bike Mom would ride along on, with the badly-oiled chain creaking (嘎吱作响) against the wheel to announce her arrival.
Every Friday when Mom came to pick me up for the weekend, it was a moment full of great expectation and great unease. I always felt my face burning as we rode our way in and out of the numerous cars and saw my friends’ faces sticking out of the car windows. It was like stepping into a ballroom with beautifully dressed ladies and finding yourself in a smelly T-shirt.
To tell you the truth, Mom is quite a headache once in a while. She just looks a homely middle-aged housewife. Being a practitioner of DIY, she knits most of my sweaters, chiefly in old styles. Whenever caught by some curious classmates asking what brand my sweaters are, I'd force a smile and reply in a half joking manner: homemade.
I couldn’t remember when I started to find her such an embarrassment. As a little boy, I relied on her so much. She had been working at home, cooking in the kitchen, knitting by the lamp or riding across town to buy me a book I badly needed. It had always been much fun riding with mom. But just now there seemed to be something standing between us, something that made her so strange to me and me to her.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Today she showed up in a raincoat
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mom tried to cover me with the back of the raincoat again as a storm set in.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dutch startup Nuwa claims to have invented the “world’s most advanced pen” that digitizes (数字化) notes written by hand. The Groningen-based company announced a fresh cash injection of €1.5 million to promote the development of the product, which uses an inbuilt camera system, motion sensors, and artificial intelligence to capture text written on paper.
“Just write, and Nuwa Pen digitizes,” Marc Tuinier, Nuwa’s CEO, told us. All the notes are then stored on the startup’s app. They can then be organized, shared, and integrated with other apps. A particularly fascinating feature is intelligent notes, which scans and identifies rich text items such as dates, to-dos, and phone numbers from the notes. Users can then link the data with, for instance, their calendar, to-do app, or phone book. The feature is integrated with over 50 apps. Nuwa compares it to a personal assistant that puts you on top of your schedule.
Nuwa is targeting the product at people who still enjoy writing with a pen and notebook. While many smart pens only work on screens or digital writing systems, Nuwa promises adaptability with every type of paper. The product also uses regular ink refills. “Other smart pen brands rely on special dotted paper to recognize what the user is writing, so you’ll also be stuck buying their paper,” Tuinier said. “Nuwa Pen can be used on any paper.”
The Nuwa system is built around tiny design. The device weighs just 28 grams — about as much as a single AA battery — but provides enough power for two hours of continuous writing. Three tiny cameras are used to digitize the text with 2 mm×2 mm sensors. All the data is then processed directly on the device. “Capturing handwriting from these sensors in the pen itself, while a pen is constantly moving, is an extremely difficult task to get right — and we’ve done it,” Tuinier said. By combining the trusty old ballpoint pen with the digital world, Nuwa hopes that it can solve one of those needs. The device is now available for pre-order.
12. What is the primary function of the Nuwa Pen?
A. Integrating pens with other apps.
B. Organizing handwritten notes digitally.
C. Combining all apps into a single platform.
D. Providing a solution for personal schedules.
13. Who is the Nuwa Pen’s main target buyer?
A. People who prefer typing over handwriting.
B. People who show interest in smart ink refills.
C. People who have an extra budget for paper purchase.
D. People who appreciate traditional pen and paper writing.
14. Why does the author list a series of numbers in the last paragraph?
A. To show how portable the device is.
B. To explain the structure of the cameras.
C. To demonstrate the device’s operating time.
D. To describe the materials used in the device.
15 What is the author’s attitude towards the Nuwa Pen?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C. Neutral. D. Enthusiastic.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。荷兰初创公司Nuwa发明了一种笔,它可以将手写的笔记数字化。文章介绍了这种笔的工作原理和优点等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Dutch startup Nuwa claims to have invented the ‘world’s most advanced pen’ that digitizes notes written by hand. (荷兰初创公司Nuwa声称已经发明了“世界上最先进的笔”,可以将手写的笔记数字化。)”可知,Nuwa 笔的主要功能是数字化整理手写笔记。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Nuwa is targeting the product at people who still enjoy writing with a pen and notebook. (Nuwa的目标客户是那些仍然喜欢用笔和笔记本写字的人。)”可知,Nuwa Pen的主要目标客户是喜欢用传统的纸和笔书写的人。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The Nuwa system is built around tiny design. The device weighs just 28 grams — about as much as a single AA battery — but provides enough power for two hours of continuous writing. Three tiny cameras are used to digitize the text with 2 mm×2 mm sensors. (Nuwa系统是围绕微小设计而构建的。这款设备的重量只有28克,相当于一节AA电池的重量,但它提供的电量足以连续书写两小时。三个微型相机用2毫米×2毫米的传感器将文本数字化。)”可知,作者在最后一段列出一系列数字是为了展示这种笔的小巧,说明这个设备的便携性。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。本文介绍的是荷兰初创公司Nuwa发明的笔,它可以将手写的笔记数字化。作者介绍了这种笔的工作原理和优点等,未表达自己的观点,所以作者的态度是中立的。故选C。

【答案】 AI for Homework: A Class Discussion
Last Friday, our class had a heated discussion on students using AI to do homework. Opinions were divided. Some students praised AI for saving time on tedious tasks and providing quick answers, helping them grasp difficult concepts. Others worried that over-reliance on AI would weaken their independent thinking and problem-solving skills, even leading to cheating.
From my perspective, AI is a useful tool but should be used wisely. We can turn to it for reference or explanations, but not for completing assignments directly. Only by combining AI’s assistance with our own efforts can we truly improve our academic performance.

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。
When school was over, the day was fading and it started to drizzle (毛毛雨). I stood at the school gate, with a loaded backpack on my shoulders. It was Friday again: a weekend of joy with unlimited sleeping hours and dinner courses specially made to my taste, a weekend at home. I waved goodbye to my friends as they jumped into their fathers' warm and comfortable cars. Curiously, this gave rise to a disturbing feeling in me. It was not exactly what they called jealousy, but something like dismay (沮丧). I knew all I could expect was an old bike Mom would ride along on, with the badly-oiled chain creaking (嘎吱作响) against the wheel to announce her arrival.
Every Friday when Mom came to pick me up for the weekend, it was a moment full of great expectation and great unease. I always felt my face burning as we rode our way in and out of the numerous cars and saw my friends’ faces sticking out of the car windows. It was like stepping into a ballroom with beautifully dressed ladies and finding yourself in a smelly T-shirt.
To tell you the truth, Mom is quite a headache once in a while. She just looks a homely middle-aged housewife. Being a practitioner of DIY, she knits most of my sweaters, chiefly in old styles. Whenever caught by some curious classmates asking what brand my sweaters are, I'd force a smile and reply in a half joking manner: homemade.
I couldn’t remember when I started to find her such an embarrassment. As a little boy, I relied on her so much. She had been working at home, cooking in the kitchen, knitting by the lamp or riding across town to buy me a book I badly needed. It had always been much fun riding with mom. But just now there seemed to be something standing between us, something that made her so strange to me and me to her.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Today she showed up in a raincoat.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mom tried to cover me with the back of the raincoat again as a storm set in.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
Today she showed up in a raincoat. Seeing her standing in the heavy rain with all the body wet, I finally could not control myself and shouted at her, “Why do you look so flustered? I don’t need you to take me home. I feel ashamed to have a mother like you!” Suddenly, Mom was shocked and silent. Maybe, she had never thought that I would have that feeling of her appearance and our home condition. She said nothing and just covered the raincoat on me. I pushed it away wildly.
Mom tried to cover me with the back of the raincoat again as a storm set in. With a smile, she said, “Dear son, I’m trying my best to earn our living, and I’m sure that if we work harder, we will get whatever we want in the future.” Hearing her words, I felt embarrassed. I thought of the time when she knitted in the deep night and cooked for me in the early morning. Yes, she had always been doing whatever she could to make me live well. But I was still unsatisfied. I had known that if I wanted to get what others had, I should spare no efforts to study hard and get it by myself.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者在周五放学后等待母亲接自己回家的故事,讲述了作者所经历的从对母亲的不满和抱怨,到对母亲的理解和感激的情感转变。

②由第二段首句内容“当暴风雨来临时,妈妈再次试图用雨衣的后背盖住我。”可知,第二段可描写看到妈妈用雨衣为自己遮挡大雨,作者开始反思自己的态度。
