B Michael and his wife, new residents in a San Francisco apartment, learned about their neighbor Jeff Dunan’s volunteer work for Bangladesh Relief, an organization that provides food, clothing and essential supplies for disadvantaged people in northern Bangladesh. Inspired, Michael donated $150 to Dunan’s Go Fund Me campaign. However, a credit card notification informed him to an unintended $15,041 charge. When he saw the five figure number he was confused. Soon, it all made sense: Michael’s credit card number started with four and one. Clearly, he accidentally began typing his credit card information while his cursor (光标) was still in the donation box. Michael planned to call Dunan to explain but before he had the chance to do that, he started receiving Facebook messages from Shohag Chandra, the charity’s Bangladesh-based program manager, thanking him for his generous donation. After he looked through the photos of people holding thank-you signs that read his name, Michael’s heart sank. He felt terrible that he had to withdraw his handsome donation. Once his original contribution was refunded, he decided to donate $1,500. Although Michael had told his family and friends about the tale, he decided to share it publicly on social media, after Dunan told him the organization was desperately in need of funds. “The least I could do was take the time to post this story online and see if I could inspire other people to donate to the cause,” Michael said. Little did he know, though, that the story would be seen far and wide, ending up raising more than $120,000 for Bangladesh Relief in the span of only a few weeks — about eight times Michael’s mistaken donation. According to Dunan, more than 3,700 people have contributed because of Michael’s post. Michael has been stunned (震惊) by the ongoing outpouring of support. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this happening.” he said. “People can be amazing when they come together for something like this.” 41. How did Michael make the large donation? A. He intended to make the large donation. B. He encountered a system error. C. He input an incorrect amount. D. He was greatly inspired by Dunan. 42. Why did Michael’s heart sink according to Paragraph 3? A. He realized the scale of his mistake. B. He saw people in despair. C. He didn’t receive the full refund. D. He had a heart attack. 43. What motivated Michael to share the story on social media? A. Pressure from his family and friends. B. The organization’s urgent need for funds. C. Dunan’s request for publicity. D. A desire for personal recognition. 44. What can be inferred about Michael’s decision to donate $1,500 after receiving a refund? A. He wanted to avoid public embarrassment. B. He was inspired by the charity’s gratitude. C. He intended to correct his initial mistake. D. He faced pressure from family and friends. 45. What message does the story convey? A. A good beginning is half of victory. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Always prepare for a rainy day. D. Many hands make light work. C Robots in the art world are nothing new. In fact, for centuries, people have built robots as art objects, beginning with automaton (自动机器) — or simple machines that perform a series of movements — in ancient China and Japan. However, what’s different now is that artists and engineers are building robots that actually create art. In 1973, British-born painter Harold Cohen wrote a computer program and called it AARON. At first, AARON only made simple outlines whose colors and details Cohen would later add. Fifty years later, AARON was able to paint people, landscapes and just about anything else a human could paint. So can AARON be called an artist or creative? In 2010, Cohen addressed these questions. He explained, “Although he wrote the initial computer code that AARON follows, AARON can generate unlimited numbers of images.” So according to Cohen, the simple answer is yes — AARON is creative. It’s not just paintings that robots are creating, though. Last year, a robot called Shimon released its first album on Spotify. Shimon began life as a simple robot marimba player. Over the years, however, it’s learned how to jam with other musicians, write original songs and compose lyrics. Shimon does this by analyzing huge amounts of music — roughly 50,000 rock, jazz and hip-hop songs. It may be cool to hear a song created by a robot, but is there any other reason to build robots that can play music? According to Gil Weinberg, one of Shimon’s creators, because the robot is capable of doing things that a real musician might not think of, he and his team “hope and believe that these new abilities would push human cooperators to new uncharted directions that could not be achieved in human-to-human cooperation.” While questions about robots creating art are fun to think about, there are many other ways that robots can help artists in the way they create their works. For example, advancements in 3D-printing technology will allow artists to build more complex pieces for their sculptures. 46. What was AARON able to do at first? A. Draw pictures of itself and Cohen. B. Color paintings under Cohen’s instructions. C. Paint people and landscapes. D. Prepare basic outlines for Cohen. 47. What might be the biggest challenge of creating songs by a robot? A. Cooperating with human musicians. B. Playing the guitar. C. Composing lyrics. D. Analyzing huge amounts of music. 48. What does the passage tell us about Shimon? A. It is expected to push humans to achieve more. B. It has created about 50,000 original songs. C. It is both a marimba and guitar player. D. Its creators hope that it can outperform humans. 49. What is the author’s attitude towards robots that create art? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Neutral. D. Negative. 50. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Programmed Creativity: Robots Redefining Art B. The Evolution of Robotics in the Real World C. AARON and Shimon Robots in Art D. How 3D Printing Is Revolutionizing Art D For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation. Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament. Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at the Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior. This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids of this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them. Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball. ”). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying. You made him feel better. ”). Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words — not fists — to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed. 51. What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior? A. They are interested in acting. B. They are shy with the strangers. C. They are tired of playing games. D. They are fond of their playmates. 52. What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2? A. Behavior. B. Enthusiasm. C. Character. D. Determination 53. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Parents should set aside more time to play with kids. B. Parents are supposed to record toddlers’ behavior. C. Toddlers can run into conflict with the playmates they like. D. Toddlers are fond of grabbing toys from their parents. 54. What is the function of the quoted statements in the brackets in Paragraph 4? A. Giving examples. B. Explaining concepts. C. Providing evidence. D. Making comparisons. 55. In the last paragraph, parents are advised to ______. A. attach importance to the personality of kids B. let their kids play outdoors after breakfast C. provide kids with freshly picked vegetables D. punish kids if they use fists to express feelings 第三节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 Wang Yi, born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) in Jiangsu Province in 1989, has written eight books with one movable finger. Restricted to a wheelchair as she began to grow up, she even has difficulty eating and bathing. Her future seems bleak in the eyes of others, but Wang and her parents have remained optimistic throughout. Since childhood, Wang’s parents have been telling her to regard herself as a normal person even if she is physically disabled. She practiced performing daily activities repeatedly. With the assistance of her parents, she learned to live with her physical disability and aimed to be an outstanding writer. Before the age of 17, Wang completed nine years of compulsory education and acquired much literary knowledge. With the encouragement of her teacher, she became more determined to chase her dream of writing. Sitting in a wheelchair, Wang pursues her dream in her own way. While she only has one movable finger on her right hand, she has managed to write eight books with a total of more than a million words. “For me, writing is not a tool to make a living, but my necessary life mode. It has become a medium for me to communicate with the world. Only when I am involved in writing can I feel complete,” she stressed. Wang hopes her story can push more disabled people to strive. “The sense of value and dignity comes from social recognition and equal treatment, as well as from the efforts of the disabled themselves.” She also hopes every reader can experience the strength of life when they are reading her works so that they will be inspired. Jidi Majia, Vice Chairman of the China Writers Association commented, “Although Wang Yi has a disability, the spirit shown in her works is positive. Besides, Wang’s lyrics (抒情诗) show a unique understanding of the value of life.” 56. What does Wang Yi suffer due to cerebral palsy?

(该题答案不唯一) 第二节 书面表达（满分25分） 【61题答案】 【答案】One possible version: @Tom Posted on Mar. 5th, 2025 10:00 AM Hi, Tom. As a Chinese student, I’m truly proud to see our culture gaining global recognition, especially after the Spring Festival’s UNESCO success! Beyond this celebration, let me introduce Chinese calligraphy, another UNESCO-listed masterpiece. With a history of over 3,000 years, it’s not just writing but a meditation-like art where brushstrokes convey emotions and philosophy. What fascinates me most is how calligraphy blends discipline and creativity. For instance, the elegant running script balances structure and fluidity, reflecting Confucian harmony. Many museums, like Beijing’s Palace Museum, offer live demonstrations — a feast for the senses! If you visit China someday, I’d love to take you to a workshop where you can try wielding a brush yourself. Trust me, feeling the ink flow on paper is like touching the soul of Chinese culture!
