The Louvre Museum in Paris was closed to the public on Sunday “for exceptional reasons” following a robbery in which nine items of great historical value were stolen, French authorities said. No injuries were reported.
At around 9:30 am local time, a gang of four robbers broke into the museum’s Apollo Gallery — home to the French Crown Jewels and other treasures — by breaking the gallery’s windows.
Among the robbery’s targets were a sapphire necklace from the jewelry of Queen Marie Amelie and Queen Hortense and a tiara from Empress Eugenie. During their escape, the gang abandoned one of the nine stolen items, which was found damaged near the museum.
French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez, who visited the scene, described the stolen artifacts as being of “inestimable” heritage value. The Louvre and the Ministry of Culture are working to make a detailed list of the stolen items and assess their value. Nunez said he was “hopeful” that the robbers, who fled on a scooter, would be apprehended “very quickly.”
“We are well aware that French museums are highly fragile,” the interior minister said when asked about possible flaws in the security system.
Culture Minister Rachida Dati told the television network TFI that “organized crime today targets works of art, and museums have become targets.”
French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the robbery on X, calling it “an attack on a heritage that we cherish because it is our history.” He said the robbers would be brought to justice.
The last recorded theft at the Louvre occurred in 1998, when a painting was stolen in broad daylight and has not been recovered.
4. What does the underlined word “apprehended” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. encountered B. arrested
C. analyzed D. evaluated
5. Which of the statement is true?
A. This was the first time that the Louvre museum was stolen.
B. The robbery happened at 9: 30 pm.
C. The robbery caused numerous injuries.
D. There might be defects in the security system of the Louvre museum.
6. Which of the following is the best title for this text?
A. Jewelry stolen from Louvre Museum in Paris
B. A gang of robbers were caught in Paris.
C. The security system of the Louvre museum needed to be improved
D. French president was angry at the robbery happened in Paris.

C. A news report. D. A biography.

Eight-year-old Xiao Ming sat with his head in his hands, muttering to himself as he tried to beat an AI-powered robot at a game of chess. But this was not in an AI showroom or lab — the robot was living on a coffee table in a Beijing apartment, along with Xiao Ming. “It’s like a little teacher or a little friend,” the boy said, as he showed his mum the next move he was considering on the chessboard.
China is actively employing AI in its bid to become a tech superpower by 2030. DeepSeek, the breakthrough Chinese chatbot that caught the world’s attention in January, was just the first shot of that ambition. Beijing plans to invest 100 billion Chinese yuan ($13.7 billion; €12.9 billion) over the next 15 years as it competes with Washington to gain the edge in advanced tech. AI funding got yet another boost at the government’s annual political gathering, which is currently underway.
This comes on the heels of a 60-billion-yuan AI investment fund created in January, just days after the US further tightened export controls for advanced chips and placed more Chinese firms on a trade blacklist.
But DeepSeek has shown that Chinese companies can overcome these barriers. And that’s what has surprised Silicon Valley and industry experts — they did not expect China to catch up so soon.
“DeepSeek’s rapid rise has caused hostile reactions from some in the West,” a commentary in the state-run Beijing Daily noted, adding that “the development environment for China’s AI models remains highly uncertain.”
But China’s AI firms are not discouraged. Rather, they believe thrifty innovation (节俭创新) will win them an undeniable advantage — because it was DeepSeek’s claim that it could rival ChatGPT for a tiny amount of the cost that shocked the AI industry.
8. Why is Xiao Ming mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To lead in the topic. B. To present detailed information.
C. To provide an argument. D. To illustrate China’s AI firms.
9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?
A. China has already had many successful AI achievements.
B. China invested 100-billion-yuan investment fund in January.
C. DeepSeek has suggested China’s determination to cooperate with others.
D. DeepSeek was just the first step for China to become a tech giant.
10. What is the attitude of some Western countries towards DeepSeek’s booming?
A. Supportive. B. Unfriendly C. Indifferent. D. Admiring.
11. What do we know from the passage?
A. Chinese AI firms could outweigh due to its less expense.
B. The cost of DeepSeek is much higher than that of ChatGPT.
C. China’s AI development will face no difficulty in the future.
D. All countries are making joint efforts in the development of AI.
D
Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.
The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up too long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions. “The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.
It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “We need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.
Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.
Other organizations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.
Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large colle ctions of personal information have become valuable only recently, he says.
The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.
12. What does the phrase “meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?
A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.
B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.
C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.
D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.
13. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether __________.
A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark scheme
B. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they think
C. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scale
D. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models
14. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because __________.
A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years old
B the language in their contracts is usually harder to understand
C. the information they collected could become more valuable in future
D. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of
15. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Say no to social media?
B. New security rules in operation?
C Accept without reading?
D. Administration matters!

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。
On my last first day of elementary school, I felt my heart beating fast as I stepped into the classroom. My fourth-grade report wasn’t good, and “Needs Improvement” comments made me nervous and uneasy all the time. Although I worked very hard, I failed the final exam. Almost every time the teacher asked me to answer a question, my voice shook. But the moment Mr. Harrison —or “Mr. H”, as he insisted we call him — greeted us with a smile, my nerves disappeared gradually. “Welcome to the fifth grade! Take any seat you like,” he said with a warm voice. Young and energetic, he had a way of making even the shyest students feel at ease. I chose a desk near the front due to my nearsightedness, grateful for his approachable behaviour.
Mr. H was an encouraging class and math teacher and he made learning exciting with his fun ideas and positive attitude. It did not matter whether you were the best or worst student in the class. What he did made you feel you were special. I remember the day when Mr. H announced, “Everyone, we have new students joining the class.” He was holding a cage with three tiny gerbils (沙鼠). Everyone shouted with joy. “They’re part of our family now,” he declared, and indeed, under his guidance, the classroom felt like one. Smiley faces were his trademark. He always put a smiley face on the chalkboard, homework and test papers.
When I failed my first math quiz, he drew a smiley face beside my score and wrote, “Let’s figure this out together.” After class, he pulled me aside, “You’re smarter than you think,” he said. His words carried a quiet certainty that made me sit up straight. They weren’t empty praise—they were an invitation to see myself differently. “But we need to find a way that works for you,” he continued. And he meant it.
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。
He stayed late twice a week to help me with my math.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
By the end of the term, something unexpected happened.

The Louvre Museum in Paris was closed to the public on Sunday “for exceptional reasons” following a robbery in which nine items of great historical value were stolen, French authorities said. No injuries were reported.
At around 9:30 am local time, a gang of four robbers broke into the museum’s Apollo Gallery — home to the French Crown Jewels and other treasures — by breaking the gallery’s windows.
Among the robbery’s targets were a sapphire necklace from the jewelry of Queen Marie Amelie and Queen Hortense and a tiara from Empress Eugenie. During their escape, the gang abandoned one of the nine stolen items, which was found damaged near the museum.
French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez, who visited the scene, described the stolen artifacts as being of “inestimable” heritage value. The Louvre and the Ministry of Culture are working to make a detailed list of the stolen items and assess their value. Nunez said he was “hopeful” that the robbers, who fled on a scooter, would be apprehended “very quickly.”
“We are well aware that French museums are highly fragile,” the interior minister said when asked about possible flaws in the security system.
Culture Minister Rachida Dati told the television network TFI that “organized crime today targets works of art, and museums have become targets.”
French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the robbery on X, calling it “an attack on a heritage that we cherish because it is our history.” He said the robbers would be brought to justice.
The last recorded theft at the Louvre occurred in 1998, when a painting was stolen in broad daylight and has not been recovered.

Eight-year-old Xiao Ming sat with his head in his hands, muttering to himself as he tried to beat an AI-powered robot at a game of chess. But this was not in an AI showroom or lab — the robot was living on a coffee table in a Beijing apartment, along with Xiao Ming. “It’s like a little teacher or a little friend,” the boy said, as he showed his mum the next move he was considering on the chessboard.
China is actively employing AI in its bid to become a tech superpower by 2030. DeepSeek, the breakthrough Chinese chatbot that caught the world’s attention in January, was just the first shot of that ambition. Beijing plans to invest 100 billion Chinese yuan ($13.7 billion; €12.9 billion) over the next 15 years as it competes with Washington to gain the edge in advanced tech. AI funding got yet another boost at the government’s annual political gathering, which is currently underway.
This comes on the heels of a 60-billion-yuan AI investment fund created in January, just days after the US further tightened export controls for advanced chips and placed more Chinese firms on a trade blacklist.
But DeepSeek has shown that Chinese companies can overcome these barriers. And that’s what has surprised Silicon Valley and industry experts — they did not expect China to catch up so soon.
“DeepSeek’s rapid rise has caused hostile reactions from some in the West” a commentary in the state-run Beijing Daily noted, adding that “the development environment for China’s AI models remains highly uncertain.”
But China’s AI firms are not discouraged. Rather, they believe thrifty innovation (节俭创新) will win them an undeniable advantage — because it was DeepSeek’s claim that it could rival ChatGPT for a tiny amount of the cost that shocked the AI industry.
8. Why is Xiao Ming mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To lead in the topic. B. To present detailed information.
C. To provide an argument. D. To illustrate China’s AI firms.
9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?
A. China has already had many successful AI achievements.
B. China invested 100-billion-yuan investment fund in January.
C. DeepSeek has suggested China’s determination to cooperate with others.
D. DeepSeek was just the first step for China to become a tech giant.
10. What is the attitude of some Western countries towards DeepSeek’s booming?
A. Supportive. B. Unfriendly C. Indifferent. D. Admiring.
11. What do we know from the passage?
A. Chinese AI firms could outweigh due to its less expense.
B. The cost of DeepSeek is much higher than that of ChatGPT.
C. China’s AI development will face no difficulty in the future.
D. All countries are making joint efforts in the development of AI.

Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.
The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up too long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions. “The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.
It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “We need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.
Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.
Other organizations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.
Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large colle ctions of personal information have become valuable only recently, he says.
The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.
12. What does the phrase “meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?
A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.
B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.
C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.
D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.
13. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether __________.
A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark scheme
B. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they think
C. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scale
D. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models
14. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because __________.
A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years old
B. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understand
C. the information they collected could become more valuable in future
D. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of
15. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Say no to social media?
B. New security rules in operation?
C. Accept without reading?
D. Administration matters!
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。当我们在社交媒体上注册登记的时候,总会签署一些无意义的法律合同,文章就此现象展开了讨论,并列举了多人的不同观点。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段第一句“The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.(英国下议院科学技术委员会上周发布的报告指责一些公司迫使人们签署长而难懂的法律合同,并呼吁使用国际标准或认证标记来识别那些有明确条款和条件的网站)”可知,很多社交媒体公司和用户签订了没有意义的法律合同。而这些合同是没有意义的废话,也起不到任何作用,很多用户根本没有仔细阅读合同的具体内容。所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出第1和第3段中的meaningless drivel指的是“社交媒体公司让人们签署的法律合同”。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data.”(我们能不能多注意一下认证标记?“我认为如果你去做了调查,人们会认为他们会去做,”英国南安普敦大学研究公开数据的Nigel Shadbolt说)”可推断,Nigel Shadbolt怀疑人们是否会像他们认为的那样关注认证标记。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.( 其他机构,如银行,会要求客户签署他们可能不会读或理解的长期合同,但Miller认为,社交媒体需要特别关注,因为它是太新了。他说:“我们仍然不知道孩子们在社交媒体上放的不明智的东西会产生多大的长期影响,而20年后这些东西又会回来伤害到他们。”)”可知,Andrew Miller认为社交媒体比银行需要更多的关注,主要是因为用户的数据将如何被利用仍然是个未知数。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,现在的网站中或者社交媒体软件中,我们在注册用户名或安装的时候,总会有一些合同或条约让我们签署。很多人从来都没有详细阅读这些合同条款就签名了。文章就此话题展开讨论,作者提出我们应该仔细阅读条款内容,然后再签名。所以C项“Accept without reading?( 未阅读就接受?)”为文章最佳标题。故选C。

考查动词词义辨析。句意:但后来她终于联系了我,我们安排了这次午餐。A. served服务;B. arranged安排;C. shared分享;D. celebrated庆祝。根据上文“I suggested meeting up”可知,作者先提议见面,Teresa回复后,二人应是约定好午餐的时间地点,arranged体现“从提议到确定见面细节”的动作,是“提议见面”的后续结果。故选B项。
【32题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:喝了第三杯咖啡后,我不得不接受Teresa不会来的事实。A. resigned(to)屈从、接受;B. adjusted(to)适应;C. contained控制;D. defended保卫。根据“After my third cup of coffee”可知,作者已等待许久,从期待逐渐转为失望,最终无奈接受对方不来的事实,resigned to侧重“接受不愿发生但已无法改变的事”,符合“情绪从焦虑到失望的转变”。故选A项。
【33题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:没有电话,没有消息 —— 也许修复这段友谊已经太晚了。A. establish建立;B. examine检查;C. expand扩展;D. repair修复。根据上文“ A huge disagreement, however, caused us to 5 . ”可知,二人的友谊曾因矛盾中断,此次约见的目的是恢复友谊,repair侧重“修复破损的关系”,与上文“中断的友谊”对应,符合语境。故选D项。
【34题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:就在我买单的时候,Teresa出现了,为自己的迟到和之前没回复消息道歉。A. rudeness粗鲁;B. lateness迟到;C. loneliness孤独;D. sadness悲伤。根据上文“After my third cup of coffee”可知,作者等待了很久,这里指Teresa为自己的迟到而道歉,lateness直接对应“迟迟未到”的场景。故选B项。
【35题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:我在她(道歉)中途打断了她,说:“没关系,你能来我就很高兴了!”A. praised表扬;B. inspired激励;C. stopped打断;D. informed告知。根据下文“her midway”以及语境可知,作者在Teresa还没说完道歉的话时就打断了她,目的是不让对方继续愧疚,stopped体现“中断对方说话” 的动作,符合“急于表达原谅、重视见面本身”的语境。故选C项。

第二节 (满分25分)
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。
On my last first day of elementary school, I felt my heart beating fast as I stepped into the classroom. My fourth-grade report wasn’t good, and “Needs Improvement” comments made me nervous and uneasy all the time. Although I worked very hard, I failed the final exam. Almost every time the teacher asked me to answer a question, my voice shook. But the moment Mr. Harrison —or “Mr. H”, as he insisted we call him — greeted us with a smile, my nerves disappeared gradually. “Welcome to the fifth grade! Take any seat you like,” he said with a warm voice. Young and energetic, he had a way of making even the shyest students feel at ease. I chose a desk near the front due to my nearsightedness, grateful for his approachable behaviour.
Mr. H was an encouraging class and math teacher and he made learning exciting with his fun ideas and positive attitude. It did not matter whether you were the best or worst student in the class. What he did made you feel you were special. I remember the day when Mr. H announced, “Everyone, we have new students joining the class.” He was holding a cage with three tiny gerbils (沙鼠). Everyone shouted with joy. “They’re part of our family now,” he declared, and indeed, under his guidance, the classroom felt like one. Smiley faces were his trademark. He always put a smiley face on the chalkboard, homework and test papers.
When I failed my first math quiz, he drew a smiley face beside my score and wrote, “Let’s figure this out together.” After class, he pulled me aside, “You’re smarter than you think,” he said. His words carried a quiet certainty that made me sit up straight. They weren’t empty praise—they were an invitation to see myself differently. “But we need to find a way that works for you,” he continued. And he meant it.
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。
He stayed late twice a week to help me with my math.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
By the end of the term, something unexpected happened.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
He stayed late twice a week to help me with my math. Every Tuesday and Thursday after school, our empty classroom became a laboratory of learning where mistakes weren’t failures, but clues to solving the puzzles. He broke down maths problems into stories. His creative teaching way and encouraging words made me realize I wasn’t bad at school and that I just needed a guiding way. Slowly, my Ds became Cs, and then Bs. But more than grades, the way he celebrated tiny victories — smiley faces on my homework — gave me confidence.
By the end of the term, something unexpected happened. I raised my hand in class without hesitation for the first time. When Mr. H asked me to answer a question, my voice didn’t shake. During a terrifying test, I got an A+. I realized I’d stopped checking for “Needs Improvement” comments — not because they’d disappeared, but because I finally saw my own potential under the guidance of Mr. H. I was so grateful to Mr. H, whose cheerful, positive and smiley faces could really make a difference in other people’s lives.
