As Mrs. Carter put a colored-paper-covered wooden box on the desk, over twenty hands shot up immediately. Mia, sitting in the front row, tiptoed to slip a note: “Why does the moon follow people?” Ajie, in the back row, pushed himself forward with a note, “Do dinosaurs dream?” The “heavy” sound of notes dropping into the box made the classroom alive. This wooden box, called the “Question Mark Mailbox” by kids, was repurposed from an old mooncake box by Mrs. Carter three months ago. At the start of the school year, she noticed only a few active students asked questions in class, while most hid their curiosity. She then told the children to write down their questions and promised to check the box daily. Surprisingly, this simple arrangement became the class’s routine. Now, the box holds more notes — from “Why does Mom cry when cutting onions?” to “Is there an end to the universe?”— some playful, others surprisingly deep. Every night, a pile of notes would spread out on Mrs. Carter’s desk. She looked up information and even consulted professors to explain the questions with vivid metaphors (比喻). The ten minutes before school ended each day were especially quiet in the classroom. Mrs. Carter would project selected questions and answers on the PPT. When she demonstrated why the sky is blue using a glass of water with milk, a gasp (倒吸气) came from the back row — that was the question Ajie had asked the day before. At the parent-teacher meeting, Jamal’s mother laughed with tears in her eyes, saying that her child now kept asking, “Why don’t clouds fall down?” whereas before, he would only say, “Mom, I’m hungry.” Those notes were like stones thrown into a lake, making kids look at this familiar world with fresh eyes. As gold sunset covered the room, Mrs. Carter stored new notes. Closing the box, she heard curiosity seeding — a forest growing in shared stare. 4. Why did the author mention the kids in class in paragraph 1? A. To explain a teacher’s idea. B. To introduce a box’s design. C. To show their active participation. D. To describe students’ hobbies. 5. Which words can best describe the questions in the box? A. inquiry-based. B. Nature-related. C. Lesson-centered. D. Parent-influenced. 6. How did Jamal change from the “Question Mark Mailbox”? A. He focused more on tasty food. B. He became an outgoing boy. C. He started to understand his mother. D. He became more curious. 7. What does Mrs. Carter’s practice show? A. Curiosity needs encouragement. B. Learning enhances family ties. C. Kids learn best through class routines. D. Teaching is based on study environment. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了卡特老师通过设立“问号信箱”激发学生好奇心的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“As Mrs. Carter put a colored-paper-covered wooden box on the desk, over twenty hands shot up immediately. Mia, sitting in the front row, tiptoed to slip a note: “Why does the moon follow people?” Ajie, in the back row, pushed himself forward with a note, “Do dinosaurs dream?”(当卡特太太把一个用彩色纸包着的木箱放在桌上时，二十多只手立刻举了起来。米娅，坐在前排，踮着脚尖把纸条塞进去：“为什么月亮跟着人？”坐在后排的阿杰推着一张纸条往前走，“恐龙会做梦吗？”)”可知，作者提到课堂上的孩子们是为了展示他们积极参与提问的状态。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Now, the box holds more notes — from “Why does Mom cry when cutting onions?” to “Is there an end to the universe?”— some playful, others surprisingly deep.(现在，盒子里装着更多的纸条——从“为什么妈妈切洋葱时会哭？”到“宇宙有尽头吗？”——有些是玩笑的，有些则出奇地深刻)”可知，盒子中的问题是以探究为基础的。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“At the parent-teacher meeting, Jamal’s mother laughed with tears in her eyes, saying that her child now kept asking, “Why don’t clouds fall down?” whereas before, he would only say, “Mom, I’m hungry.”(在家长会上，贾马尔的母亲含着泪水笑着说，她的孩子现在不停地问“为什么云不会掉下来？”，而以前他只会说“妈妈，我饿了。”)”可知，贾马尔从只关心基本需求变得开始提出关于自然现象的问题，说明他变得更加好奇。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“At the start of the school year, she noticed only a few active students asked questions in class, while most hid their curiosity. She then told the children to write down their questions and promised to check the box daily.(在新学年开始时，她注意到只有少数活跃的学生在课堂上提问，而大多数学生都隐藏了自己的好奇心。于是她让孩子们把问题写下来，并承诺每天查看信箱)”以及最后一段中“Closing the box, she heard curiosity seeding — a forest growing in shared stare.(合上盒子，她听到了好奇心正在生根发芽——一片森林在共同的凝视中生长)”可知，卡特老师的实践表明，好奇心需要被鼓励才能发展。故选A。 C Restorers are removing about 100,000 hand-bound books from the shelves of the old-fashioned Benedictine library of Pannonhalma in Hungary, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list, in an effort to save them from a bug infestation (虫害). Workers are taking the books down and placing them in boxes, which is the beginning of a disinfection process aimed at killing drugstore beetles (甲虫), also known as bread beetles, which are often found among dry food such as grains, flour, and spices. But they are also attracted to glues used in old books. The bug infestation was first discovered during regular library cleaning. Employees noticed unusual layers of dust on the shelves and then noticed holes in some books. After opening the books, they could see holes made by the beetles on the pages. To kill the bugs, the boxes with books are placed in tall, tightly closed plastic bags from which all oxygen is removed. After six weeks in an environment of pure nitrogen (氮气), all the bugs should be destroyed. Before being returned to the shelves, each book will be individually inspected and cleaned. Each book damaged by insects will be set aside for later restoration work. The library in Pannonhalma was founded in the year 996. Located in the northwest of the country, the library was one of the most important cultural sites in Hungary and all of Central Europe, and it holds the country’s oldest book collection as well as many of the earliest and most important written records. Although the oldest and rarest prints and books are kept separately and are not infected, Ilona Asvanyi, the library director, said that any damage to the collection is a blow to the cultural, and historical treasures. “Higher temperatures are favorable for insect life. Until now, we have mostly been dealing with mold (真菌) damage in both storage areas and open collections. But now I think that due to global warming, more and more insects will start appearing,” said Asvanyi. 8. What can we learn about the bug infestation? A. It happened by accident. B. It was reported by a visitor. C. It was found in daily maintenance. D. It was detected by special equipment. 9. What does the third paragraph focus on? A. The process of bug disinfection. B. The tools used to destroy beetles. C. The difficulties in book restoration. D. The ways to inspect damaged books. 10. What does Asvanyi mean about mold damage? A. It is easy to deal with. B. It is a common danger to books. C. It is worse than insect damage. D. It is not a problem any more. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To discuss global warming’s effects. B. To explain how to kill drugstore beetles. C. To introduce a famous Hungarian library. D. To report on protecting historic books from beetles. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述匈牙利潘农哈尔马图书馆为防虫对古籍开展消毒保护工作。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The bug infestation was first discovered during regular library cleaning.(虫害是在图书馆定期清洁时首次发现的。)”可知，虫害是在日常维护中发现的。故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“To kill the bugs, the boxes with books are placed in tall, tightly closed plastic bags from which all oxygen is removed. After six weeks in an environment of pure nitrogen (氮气), all the bugs should be destroyed. Before being returned to the shelves, each book will be individually inspected and cleaned. Each book damaged by insects will be set aside for later restoration work.(为了杀死这些虫子，装有书的盒子被放在高高的、密封严密的塑料袋里，所有的氧气都被去除。在纯氮环境中六周后，所有的虫子都应该被消灭。在放回书架之前，每本书都将单独检查和清洁。每本被昆虫损坏的书都将被搁置一旁，以便日后修复。)”可知，第三段主要介绍了消灭虫子的过程。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Until now, we have mostly been dealing with mold (真菌) damage in both storage areas and open collections.(到目前为止，我们主要处理的是存储区域和开放收藏中的霉菌损害。)”可知，霉菌损害是书籍面临的常见危险。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Restorers are removing about 100,000 hand-bound books from the shelves of the old-fashioned Benedictine library of Pannonhalma in Hungary, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list, in an effort to save them from a bug infestation (虫害).(修复人员正在从匈牙利潘诺恩哈尔姆千年修道院图书馆的书架上取下约10万册手工装订的书籍，该图书馆被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录，目的是保护它们免受虫害。)”可知，本文主要为了讲述匈牙利潘农哈尔马图书馆因虫害问题，工作人员采取措施保护历史书籍，即报道保护历史书籍免受甲虫侵害的情况。故选D。 D In the digital age, technology has gradually relieved humans from some mental loads. We no longer need to memorize phone numbers or routes as smartphones and GPS do that. This frees our minds for more important things. However, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) brings a bigger change than traditional tech, making metacognition (元认知) — “thinking about thinking” — more vital than ever. Unlike GPS, which just gives directions, AI takes over more of our thinking. When we ask AI to write emails, it not only corrects grammar but also shapes our tone and arguments. When seeking work situation analysis, AI’s ideas can even change how we see problems. This leads to a consequence: we get answers faster but think less about whether they’re reasonable. We’re not just outsourcing facts — we’re relying on AI to think for us. Admittedly, letting AI handle some of our mental work isn’t all bad. Like using calculators to save mental energy, using AI properly can also be beneficial. The key isn’t to stop, but to use metacognition. When AI does much of the thinking for us, we must be able to critically evaluate its work. Metacognition originally referring to the ability to think about one’s own thinking, must expand to include thinking about AI’s thinking in the AI era. For example, two people asking AI for career advice; the one who uses AI’s suggestions as a start, questions their basis, and checks if they fit personal values will do better long-term. Similarly, a good doctor using AI won’t blindly accept all diagnoses (诊断) — they know what to take, why, and where to dig deeper. Entrepreneurs using AI for business plans will add to, improve, or even reject AI’s ideas based on their own experience. Many experts succeed by using metacognition with AI. They know their own limits and AI’s possible mistakes. They don’t use AI to replace thinking — they use it to strengthen it. In the AI era, using metacognition to judge AI’s responses is key to AI literacy (素养). Only by mastering this can we truly benefit from AI. 12. What makes AI different from traditional technologies? A. It helps with memory. B. It provides faster answers. C. It follows fixed rules. D. It involves more thinking tasks. 13. What does the underlined word “outsourcing” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Keeping for oneself. B. Handing over to others. C. Thinking deeply about. D. Losing sight of. 14. How should we use metacognition in the AI era? A. Compete with AI. B. Memorize more facts. C. Understand AI’s logic. D. Think about human thoughts. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Benefits of Using AI B. How to Learn AI Literacy C. Metacognition: Key in the AI Era D. AI: A Replacement for Human Thinking 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了在人工智能时代，元认知的重要性及其如何帮助我们更好地利用人工智能。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Unlike GPS, which just gives directions, AI takes over more of our thinking.(与只提供方向的GPS不同，人工智能接管了我们更多的思考。)”可知，人工智能与传统技术不同之处在于它涉及更多的思考任务。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“This leads to a consequence: we get answers faster but think less about whether they’re reasonable. We’re not just outsourcing facts — we’re relying on AI to think for us.(这导致了一个结果：我们更快地得到答案，但很少思考它们是否合理。我们不只是outsourcing事实——我们依赖人工智能为我们思考。)”可知，我们不只是将事实外包出去，而是依赖人工智能为我们思考。由此可知，划线词outsourcing的意思是“外包，交给别人去做”。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Metacognition, originally referring to the ability to think about one’s own thinking, must expand to include thinking about AI’s thinking in the AI era.(元认知，原本指的是思考自己思考的能力，在人工智能时代必须扩展到包括思考人工智能的思考。)”以及“Similarly, a good doctor using AI won’t blindly accept all diagnoses (诊断) —they know what to take, why, and where to dig deeper.(同样，一个使用人工智能的好医生不会盲目接受所有的诊断——他们知道该接受什么，为什么，以及在哪里深入研究。)”可推知，在人工智能时代，我们应该使用元认知来理解人工智能的逻辑。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“However, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) brings a bigger change than traditional tech, making metacognition — “thinking about thinking” — more vital than ever.(然而，人工智能出现带来了比传统技术更大的变化，使得元认知——“思考思考”——比以往任何时候都更加重要。)”以及最后一段中“In the AI era, using metacognition to judge AI’s responses is key to AI literacy (素养). Only by mastering this can we truly benefit from AI.(在人工智能时代，使用元认知来判断人工智能的反应是人工智能素养的关键。只有掌握了这一点，我们才能真正从人工智能中受益。)”可知，本文主要讲述了在人工智能时代，元认知的重要性及其如何帮助我们更好地利用人工智能。因此，C选项“Metacognition: Key in the AI Era(元认知：人工智能时代的关键)”最符合文章主旨。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Last month, our neighborhood launched a “Book Sharing Corner” project, aiming to build a small free library using an old phone booth (电话亭). As a book lover, I volunteered right away. Little did I know, this small effort would turn into something far more meaningful. ____16____ On the first Saturday, ten of us gathered with tools and paint. The booth, weathered by rain and wind, looked poor — its glass broken, door stuck. “Let’s give it a new life,” said Mr. Chen, the project organizer, handing out brushes. ____17____ Teens cut off old paint, adults fixed the door, and kids designed colorful posters for the walls. Laughter mixed with the sound of repairing; even shy neighbors chatted while passing nails. By noon, the booth was unrecognizable: painted sky-blue with star patterns, its glass replaced, shelves built inside. Everyone brought their books, gradually filling the shelves. ____18____ We sorted through donated books — novels, cookbooks, children’s stories — and arranged them neatly. A little girl named Lulu left her favorite picture book, saying, “I want others to love it too.” ____19____ They were amazed to see the decorated book sharing corner. An elderly man borrowed a history book, saying he’d been looking for it for years. A student exchanged her math notes for a poetry collection. By evening, half the books had been borrowed, and new ones left in their place. We check the booth weekly now. Last week, I found a handwritten note inside: “Thank you for this corner — it makes me feel less lonely.” ____20____ The project taught me that community isn’t just a place — it’s the small, shared efforts that connect people together. A. We divided the work and got to it. B. The booth soon became a sightseeing spot. C. It has become a great chance to connect neighbors. D. The opening day drew people from all over the neighborhood. E. We intended to organize a fundraiser to buy more new books. F. I added my own favorite novel, hoping it would find a new reader. G. It was in the small interactions that the spirit of community shone through. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. F 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了社区发起“图书共享角”项目，志愿者们改造电话亭建图书馆，大家积极分享书籍，促进了邻里交流。 【16题详解】 由上文“Little did I know, this small effort would turn into something far more meaningful.(我万万没想到，这一小小的努力会变成更有意义的事情。)”可知，本空应说明这一努力带来的具体意义，C选项“It has become a great chance to connect neighbors.(它成了邻里之间建立联系的好机会。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选C。 【17题详解】 由下文“Teens cut off old paint, adults fixed the door, and kids designed colorful posters for the walls.(青少年们刮掉旧漆，成年人修理门，孩子们为墙壁设计彩色海报。)”可知，本空应说明大家分工合作，开始行动，A选项“We divided the work and got to it.(我们分配了工作，然后就开始动手了。)”可知，说明大家开始分工合作，进行电话亭的改造工作。故选A。 【18题详解】 由上文“Everyone brought their books, gradually filling the shelves.(每个人都带来了自己的书，逐渐填满了书架。)”可知，本空应描述“带来书籍”的具体个人行为，承接“众人捐书”的场景。F选项“I added my own favorite novel, hoping it would find a new reader.(我也放上了自己最喜欢的小说，希望它能找到新的读者。)”以第一人称视角补充了“捐书”的细节，符合题意。故选F。 【19题详解】 由下文“They were amazed to see the decorated book sharing corner.(看到装饰一新的图书共享角，他们都很惊讶。)”可知，本空应体现“图书角开放后吸引了居民前来”的场景。D选项“The opening day drew people from all over the neighborhood.(开放日吸引了小区各处的人前来。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选D。 【20题详解】 由上文“Last week, I found a handwritten note inside: “Thank you for this corner— it makes me feel less lonely.”(上周，我在里面发现了一张手写的便条：“谢谢你这个角落——它让我感觉不那么孤独。”)”和下文“The project taught me that community isn’t just a place— it’s the small, shared efforts that connect people together.(这个项目教会了我，社区不仅仅是一个地方，它是将人们联系在一起的小而共同的努力。)”可知，本空应升华“便条所体现的人际温暖”与“社区精神”的关联。G选项“It was in the small interactions that the spirit of community shone through.(正是在这些微小的互动中，社区精神得以彰显。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 On a hot summer day, Vivian Curren took her 3-year-old son Benjamin for a visit to a nearby park.

Mrs. Carter had just finished explaining how to use colors effectively. Most students were already drawing simple shapes and adding bright colors, but Liam sat frozen before his empty paper, his pencil shaking slightly in his hand. The blank page seemed to stare back at him, daring him to make the first mark. Noticing his struggle, Mrs. Carter approached. “Having trouble getting started?” she asked in a gentle voice. Liam’s shoulders tensed immediately. “I... I don’t know what to draw,” he admitted, keeping his eyes fixed on the floor. The critical words of his previous art teacher — “messy” and “careless” — ran through his mind, making his stomach tighten with worry. Mrs. Carter smiled warmly. “Remember, art isn’t about being perfect,” she said gently, placing a comforting hand on his back. “It’s about expressing what you feel inside. Why not give it a try?” With a deep breath, Liam finally made his first marks on the paper. Yet whenever Mrs. Carter walked by, Liam quickly covered his drawing with his arm. His face turned red when classmates tried to look. “May I see your progress?” Mrs. Carter asked encouragingly during her rounds. Liam shook his head violently, his lips trembling. “It’s... not good enough,” he whispered, tears welling up. Kneeling beside him, Mrs. Carter spoke softly but firmly. “In art, there’s no such thing as ‘not good enough’. What makes it special is that it comes from you.” Slowly, Liam moved his arm to reveal a drawing: a dog with uneven ears, surrounded by cheerful yellow stars. “Look at these wonderful colors!” Mrs. Carter exclaimed, her eyes lighting up. “Look how you’ve used shading here, and this dog has such personality! I can’t wait to see what else you’ll create — especially for our school’s art contest next month.” 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。 Inspired by Mrs. Carter’s encouragement, Liam began drawing with a new goal. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the award ceremony of the art contest, Liam choked up. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Inspired by Mrs. Carter’s encouragement, Liam began drawing with a new goal. He wanted to create something worthy of the school art contest. Every afternoon, he would sit by the classroom window, carefully practicing. At first, he erased until the paper tore, but slowly, his shaky lines became confident curves. When frustration built up, he would hear Mrs. Carter’s voice in his head: “Art isn’t about being perfect.” This always made him take a deep breath and try once more. After weeks of observation, he knew exactly what to draw for the contest: the sunset turning the swings into golden outlines. At the award ceremony of the art contest, Liam choked up. He couldn’t believe his ears when the headmaster announced, “First prize goes to Liam for his lively and imaginative artwork!” Overwhelmed, he walked to the stage, holding tightly to his certificate. In the crowd, Mrs. Carter grinned with pride, giving him a thumbs-up. From that day on, Liam no longer hid his drawings. He eagerly shared his artwork with classmates, even helping others blend colors. The contest wasn’t just about winning — it taught him that bravery and creativity go hand in hand. By embracing his passion, Liam discovered that true art comes from the heart, not from others’ opinions. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。美术课上，在多数学生积极作画时，Liam因不知画什么而紧张局促。在Carter女士的鼓励下他开始动笔，却因不自信总遮盖。最终在老师耐心开导下，他展示画作并获称赞，还被鼓励参加学校艺术比赛。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“受Carter女士的鼓励，Liam带着新目标开始了绘画。”可知，第一段可以描写Liam受Carter女士鼓励后，确立参加学校艺术比赛的目标，详细刻画他练习绘画时的困难（线条颤抖、纸张撕破）、内心的挫败感，以及Carter女士的话语如何给予他坚持下去的动力，最后交代他通过观察确定参赛主题。 ②由第二段句首内容“在艺术比赛的颁奖仪式上，Liam哽咽了。”可知，第二段可以描写艺术比赛颁奖仪式上，Liam意外获得一等奖的惊喜与激动，刻画他上台领奖的状态、Carter女士的反应，以及获奖后他的转变（不再隐藏画作、主动分享并帮助同学），最后升华主旨，描写Liam的感悟。 2.续写线索：受鼓励立目标 —— 遇困难遭挫败 —— 忆鼓励再坚持 —— 定主题备比赛 —— 获大奖受认可 —— 敢分享悟真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①坐在窗边练习：sit by the classroom window, carefully practicing/practice by the window ② 擦除（画作）：erase/rub out/wipe off ③ 深呼吸：take a deep breath/breathe deeply/inhale deeply 情绪类 ① 无法相信：couldn’t believe one’s ears/be in disbelief/feel incredulous ② 激情，酷爱：passion/enthusiasm 【点睛】【高分句型1】He couldn’t believe his ears when the headmaster announced, “First prize goes to Liam for his lively and imaginative artwork!” (运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】By embracing his passion, Liam discovered that true art comes from the heart, not from others’ opinions.

As Mrs. Carter put a colored-paper-covered wooden box on the desk, over twenty hands shot up immediately. Mia, sitting in the front row, tiptoed to slip a note: “Why does the moon follow people?” Ajie, in the back row, pushed himself forward with a note, “Do dinosaurs dream?” The “heavy” sound of notes dropping into the box made the classroom alive. This wooden box, called the “Question Mark Mailbox” by kids, was repurposed from an old mooncake box by Mrs. Carter three months ago. At the start of the school year, she noticed only a few active students asked questions in class, while most hid their curiosity. She then told the children to write down their questions and promised to check the box daily. Surprisingly, this simple arrangement became the class’s routine. Now, the box holds more notes — from “Why does Mom cry when cutting onions?” to “Is there an end to the universe?”— some playful, others surprisingly deep. Every night, a pile of notes would spread out on Mrs. Carter’s desk. She looked up information and even consulted professors to explain the questions with vivid metaphors (比喻). The ten minutes before school ended each day were especially quiet in the classroom. Mrs. Carter would project selected questions and answers on the PPT. When she demonstrated why the sky is blue using a glass of water with milk, a gasp (倒吸气) came from the back row — that was the question Ajie had asked the day before. At the parent-teacher meeting, Jamal’s mother laughed with tears in her eyes, saying that her child now kept asking, “Why don’t clouds fall down?” whereas before, he would only say, “Mom, I’m hungry.” Those notes were like stones thrown into a lake, making kids look at this familiar world with fresh eyes. As gold sunset covered the room, Mrs. Carter stored new notes. Closing the box, she heard curiosity seeding — a forest growing in shared stare. 4. Why did the author mention the kids in class in paragraph 1? A. To explain a teacher’s idea. B. To introduce a box’s design. C. To show their active participation. D. To describe students’ hobbies. 5. Which words can best describe the questions in the box? A. inquiry-based. B. Nature-related. C. Lesson-centered. D. Parent-influenced. 6. How did Jamal change from the “Question Mark Mailbox”? A. He focused more on tasty food. B. He became an outgoing boy. C. He started to understand his mother. D. He became more curious. 7. What does Mrs. Carter’s practice show? A. Curiosity needs encouragement. B. Learning enhances family ties. C. Kids learn best through class routines. D. Teaching is based on study environment. C Restorers are removing about 100,000 hand-bound books from the shelves of the old-fashioned Benedictine library of Pannonhalma in Hungary, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list, in an effort to save them from a bug infestation (虫害). Workers are taking the books down and placing them in boxes, which is the beginning of a disinfection process aimed at killing drugstore beetles (甲虫), also known as bread beetles, which are often found among dry food such as grains, flour, and spices. But they are also attracted to glues used in old books. The bug infestation was first discovered during regular library cleaning. Employees noticed unusual layers of dust on the shelves and then noticed holes in some books. After opening the books, they could see holes made by the beetles on the pages. To kill the bugs, the boxes with books are placed in tall, tightly closed plastic bags from which all oxygen is removed. After six weeks in an environment of pure nitrogen (氮气), all the bugs should be destroyed. Before being returned to the shelves, each book will be individually inspected and cleaned. Each book damaged by insects will be set aside for later restoration work. The library in Pannonhalma was founded in the year 996. Located in the northwest of the country, the library was one of the most important cultural sites in Hungary and all of Central Europe, and it holds the country’s oldest book collection as well as many of the earliest and most important written records. Although the oldest and rarest prints and books are kept separately and are not infected, Ilona Asvanyi, the library director, said that any damage to the collection is a blow to the cultural, and historical treasures. “Higher temperatures are favorable for insect life. Until now, we have mostly been dealing with mold (真菌) damage in both storage areas and open collections. But now I think that due to global warming, more and more insects will start appearing,” said Asvanyi. 8. What can we learn about the bug infestation? A. It happened by accident. B. It was reported by a visitor. C. It was found in daily maintenance. D. It was detected by special equipment. 9. What does the third paragraph focus on? A. The process of bug disinfection. B. The tools used to destroy beetles. C. The difficulties in book restoration. D. The ways to inspect damaged books. 10. What does Asvanyi mean about mold damage? A. It is easy to deal with. B. It is a common danger to books. C. It is worse than insect damage. D. It is not a problem any more. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To discuss global warming’s effects. B. To explain how to kill drugstore beetles. C. To introduce a famous Hungarian library. D. To report on protecting historic books from beetles. D In the digital age, technology has gradually relieved humans from some mental loads. We no longer need to memorize phone numbers or routes as smartphones and GPS do that. This frees our minds for more important things. However, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) brings a bigger change than traditional tech, making metacognition (元认知) — “thinking about thinking” — more vital than ever. Unlike GPS, which just gives directions, AI takes over more of our thinking. When we ask AI to write emails, it not only corrects grammar but also shapes our tone and arguments. When seeking work situation analysis, AI’s ideas can even change how we see problems. This leads to a consequence: we get answers faster but think less about whether they’re reasonable. We’re not just outsourcing facts — we’re relying on AI to think for us. Admittedly, letting AI handle some of our mental work isn’t all bad. Like using calculators to save mental energy, using AI properly can also be beneficial. The key isn’t to stop, but to use metacognition. When AI does much of the thinking for us, we must be able to critically evaluate its work. Metacognition, originally referring to the ability to think about one’s own thinking, must expand to include thinking about AI’s thinking in the AI era. For example, two people asking AI for career advice; the one who uses AI’s suggestions as a start, questions their basis, and checks if they fit personal values will do better long-term. Similarly, a good doctor using AI won’t blindly accept all diagnoses (诊断) — they know what to take, why, and where to dig deeper. Entrepreneurs using AI for business plans will add to, improve, or even reject AI’s ideas based on their own experience. Many experts succeed by using metacognition with AI. They know their own limits and AI’s possible mistakes. They don’t use AI to replace thinking — they use it to strengthen it. In the AI era, using metacognition to judge AI’s responses is key to AI literacy (素养). Only by mastering this can we truly benefit from AI. 12. What makes AI different from traditional technologies? A. It helps with memory. B. It provides faster answers. C. It follows fixed rules. D. It involves more thinking tasks. 13. What does the underlined word “outsourcing” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Keeping for oneself. B. Handing over to others. C. Thinking deeply about. D. Losing sight of. 14. How should we use metacognition in the AI era? A. Compete with AI. B. Memorize more facts. C Understand AI’s logic. D. Think about human thoughts. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Benefits of Using AI B. How to Learn AI Literacy C. Metacognition: Key in the AI Era D.

As a book lover, I volunteered right away. Little did I know, this small effort would turn into something far more meaningful. ____16____ On the first Saturday, ten of us gathered with tools and paint. The booth, weathered by rain and wind, looked poor — its glass broken, door stuck. “Let’s give it a new life,” said Mr. Chen, the project organizer, handing out brushes. ____17____ Teens cut off old paint, adults fixed the door, and kids designed colorful posters for the walls. Laughter mixed with the sound of repairing; even shy neighbors chatted while passing nails. By noon, the booth was unrecognizable: painted sky-blue with star patterns, its glass replaced, shelves built inside. Everyone brought their books, gradually filling the shelves. ____18____ We sorted through donated books — novels, cookbooks, children’s stories — and arranged them neatly. A little girl named Lulu left her favorite picture book, saying, “I want others to love it too.” ____19____ They were amazed to see the decorated book sharing corner. An elderly man borrowed a history book, saying he’d been looking for it for years. A student exchanged her math notes for a poetry collection. By evening, half the books had been borrowed, and new ones left in their place. We check the booth weekly now. Last week, I found a handwritten note inside: “Thank you for this corner — it makes me feel less lonely.” ____20____ The project taught me that community isn’t just a place — it’s the small, shared efforts that connect people together. A. We divided the work and got to it. B. The booth soon became a sightseeing spot. C. It has become a great chance to connect neighbors. D. The opening day drew people from all over the neighborhood. E. We intended to organize a fundraiser to buy more new books. F. I added my own favorite novel, hoping it would find a new reader. G. It was in the small interactions that the spirit of community shone through. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 On a hot summer day, Vivian Curren took her 3-year-old son Benjamin for a visit to a nearby park.

Mrs. Carter had just finished explaining how to use colors effectively. Most students were already drawing simple shapes and adding bright colors, but Liam sat frozen before his empty paper, his pencil shaking slightly in his hand. The blank page seemed to stare back at him, daring him to make the first mark. Noticing his struggle, Mrs. Carter approached. “Having trouble getting started?” she asked in a gentle voice. Liam’s shoulders tensed immediately. “I... I don’t know what to draw,” he admitted, keeping his eyes fixed on the floor. The critical words of his previous art teacher — “messy” and “careless” — ran through his mind, making his stomach tighten with worry. Mrs. Carter smiled warmly. “Remember, art isn’t about being perfect,” she said gently, placing a comforting hand on his back. “It’s about expressing what you feel inside. Why not give it a try?” With a deep breath, Liam finally made his first marks on the paper. Yet whenever Mrs. Carter walked by, Liam quickly covered his drawing with his arm. His face turned red when classmates tried to look. “May I see your progress?” Mrs. Carter asked encouragingly during her rounds. Liam shook his head violently, his lips trembling. “It’s... not good enough,” he whispered, tears welling up. Kneeling beside him, Mrs. Carter spoke softly but firmly. “In art, there’s no such thing as ‘not good enough’. What makes it special is that it comes from you.” Slowly, Liam moved his arm to reveal a drawing: a dog with uneven ears, surrounded by cheerful yellow stars. “Look at these wonderful colors!” Mrs. Carter exclaimed, her eyes lighting up. “Look how you’ve used shading here, and this dog has such personality! I can’t wait to see what else you’ll create — especially for our school’s art contest next month.” 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。 Inspired by Mrs. Carter’s encouragement, Liam began drawing with a new goal. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the award ceremony of the art contest, Liam choked up. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
