Once the choice of the royal household, the watermelon has gained popularity rapidly over the years, and an online grocer reported that the fruit’s sales on the platform had increased sixfold from 2020 to 2022, resulting in increasingly high demand for watermelon quality testers.
Lee, 32, is extremely busy in the summer months. Just by holding the watermelon near his ear and knocking on the surface with his fingers, Lee says, he can tell by the sound if the fruit is ripe enough to be eaten or not. He works for a rural cooperative set up by a group of watermelon farmers, and puts thousands of watermelons through the “knock test” daily, before they are shipped to downtown warehouses where the platform sources its supplies.
The practice of knocking on watermelons to determine their ripeness can be found across cultures. In China, it is considered a national habit. Smart buyers tap on the fruit before purchase to ensure their money is well-spent. Some buyers knock on the fruit despite not knowing what the hollow sound means just to negotiate a better deal from the seller.
As fruit sales have moved to online platforms in a big way, those who make a living by checking the quality of the fruits with their fingers are much in demand. Lee is one among the growing group. Their task is to conduct knock tests on behalf of e-buyers and ensure that the fruits selected to be sold online are uniform in size and quality.
Lee, who was once an award-winning soccer player, now describes himself as a “goalkeeper for watermelons”. He quit soccer about four years ago and learned about melon-knocking as an emerging profession and decided to become an apprentice (学徒) to an experienced farmer.
After a year’s trial and error, Lee worked independently as a quality checker. “It is a highly demanding task. During the apprenticeship, I often cracked open melons to confirm my judgment. There are just no shortcuts (捷径),” he said.
4. What has led to the high demand for watermelon quality testers?
A. The popularity of watermelons. B. The big harvest of watermelons.
C. An increase in watermelon prices. D. A rapid rise in online watermelon sales.
5. Why does Lee describe himself as a “goalkeeper for watermelons”?
A. He was once an award-winning soccer player.
B. He dreams of being a professional melon-knocker.
C. He was taught by an experienced watermelon farmer.
D. He ensures that customers enjoy watermelons of quality.
6. What can we learn from Lee’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Seeing is believing. B. Every man has his value.
C. Great efforts and practice matter. D. Excellence can be found in any profession.
7. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To introduce an emerging profession.
B. To describe Lee’s career transformation.
C. To discuss the importance of fruit quality testers.
D. To explain the cultural role of watermelon knocking.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. A

The New Frontier: AI Shifts from Perception to Action
For years, the story of artificial intelligence (AI) has been one of ever-improving perception. AI systems learned to “see” with image recognition, “hear” with speech-to-text, and “understand” with large language models. They became brilliant at analyzing the world. Now, however, the focus is shifting dramatically from passive perception to active action. The next great challenge for AI is not just to interpret data, but to make complex decisions and carry out tasks in the real, unpredictable world.
This transition is powered by a branch of AI often called “embodied AI” or “action models.” Unlike their predecessors (被代替物) that primarily processed unchanging information, these new models are designed to learn by interacting with environments. They don’t just recognize a chair; they learn how to navigate around it, or how a robot arm can pick it up. This requires a continuous cycle of perception, decision-making, and physical action, a far more complex problem than one-off analysis.
Real-world applications are already emerging. In robotics, AIs are learning to perform delicate tasks like assembling (装配) electronics or sorting warehouse goods, adapting their grip and force in real-time. In autonomous driving, the core challenge is no longer just identifying obstacles, but making split-second decisions — to slow down, swerve, or stop — based on a flood of sensory data. Even in digital fields, “action AI” can manage complex systems like cooling in data centers, dynamically adjusting settings to better for both performance and energy efficiency.
However, this leap is fraught with challenges. The real world is messy and full of uncertainties. An AI must handle situations it has never clearly been trained on, a concept known as “generalization.” Furthermore, every action has results, raising critical questions about safety and responsibility.
As AI moves from being a tool of analysis to a tool of action, ensuring its decisions are safe, reliable, and arranged with human intentions becomes the most important concern. The journey from a perceiving intelligence to an acting one is the new frontier, and it will define the next decade of technological evolution.
8. What is the key difference between the new “action models” and their predecessors?
A. They are much better at analyzing unchanging information and data.
B. They focus on a single analysis rather than a continuous process.
C. They learn through interaction and perform physical actions.
D. They are mainly used in digital fields like data centers.
9. The underlined word “fraught” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. full B. successful C. free D. popular
10. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about the future of AI development?
A. The ability to perceive will become more important than the ability to act.
B. Safety and reliability will be central to the next stage of AI evolution.
C. AI will soon be able to handle all real-world situations without challenges.
D. The concept of “generalization” will become less important as AI improves.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain the concept of image recognition and speech-to-text.
B. To discuss the challenges and failures of current AI systems.
C. To introduce the shift of AI from perception to action and its implications.
D. To predict the exact timeline for the development of autonomous cars.

They don’t just recognize a chair; they learn how to navigate around it, or how a robot arm can pick it up. This requires a continuous cycle of perception, decision-making, and physical action (与主要处理静态信息的前代模型不同,这些新模型被设计为通过与环境互动学习。它们不只是识别椅子,还会学习如何绕开它,或机械臂如何拿起它。这需要感知、决策、物理行动的持续循环)”可知,新“行动模型”与前代的核心区别是通过互动学习并执行物理行动。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“However, this leap is fraught with challenges. The real world is messy and full of uncertainties. An AI must handle situations it has never clearly been trained on (然而,这一飞跃____挑战。现实世界混乱且充满不确定性。人工智能必须处理它从未受过明确训练的情况)”可知,混乱、充满不确定性以及AI需应对未经训练的情形,这些都说明转变过程中挑战重重。由此可推知,此处is fraught with表示“充满(困难、问题等)”。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“As AI moves from being a tool of analysis to a tool of action, ensuring its decisions are safe, reliable, and arranged with human intentions becomes the most important concern. (随着AI从分析工具转向行动工具,确保其决策安全、可靠、契合人类意图成为最重要的关注点)”可知,安全与可靠性将是AI下一阶段发展的核心。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章标题“The New Frontier: AI Shifts from Perception to Action (新前沿:AI从感知转向行动)”、最后一段“As AI moves from being a tool of analysis to a tool of action, ensuring its decisions are safe, reliable, and arranged with human intentions becomes the most important concern. (随着AI从分析工具转向行动工具,确保其决策安全、可靠、契合人类意图成为最重要的关注点)”以及通读全文可知,本文核心是介绍AI从感知到行动的转变及其影响。故选C项。

For decades, the narrative (叙述) of progress in developing economies was straightforward: ambitious youth left rural villages for city opportunities. This migration powered urban growth but drained (流失) the countryside of its most talented young people. However, a shift is underway. A growing number of graduates are reversing this trend, returning to their rural roots. Driven by personal fulfillment, technology, and policy, they are not just finding jobs but creating a new rural economy.
The phenomenon is particularly evident in China. Marketing graduate Li Wei bypassed a Shanghai corporate career to revive his family’s Jiangxi tea plantation. By applying modern branding techniques through e-commerce platforms, he has not only multiplied the family’s income but also created a recognizable brand that employs local residents. “The city offered a defined path, but here I see boundless possibilities to actually build something and see its direct impact on my community,” Li explains.
This movement is far from a simple romanticization of rural life. It is strengthened by significant infrastructural (基础设施) improvements. High-speed Internet and nationwide transport networks have removed the traditional barriers of isolation and limited market access. A young person in a remote village can now manage an online store, study market trends, and ship products nationwide as efficiently as in any urban center. Furthermore, government initiatives aimed at reducing poverty and rural revitalization have created a favorable ecosystem. Policies offering tax breaks, start-up funding, and technical training have smoothed the path to starting up, which lessens risks that once made such a return impractical for graduates with loans.
Critics might argue that these are isolated success stories, not a widespread solution to rural decline. They question the large-scale replication (复制) of such models. However, the trend’s significance may lie less in participant numbers than in its demonstration effect. These returnees are role models, proving prosperity isn’t exclusively urban. They are injecting new skills, capital, and a new mindset into the countryside, with the potential to reshape its future.
12. The case of Li Wei is introduced primarily to ________.
A. highlight rural marketing value B. provide a typical trend example
C. emphasize the personal fulfillment D. suggest an easily copied success model
13 The “favorable ecosystem” in Para.3 is chiefly created through ________.
A. natural beauty and lower costs B. digital platforms and online sales
C. policy support and public facilities D. returnees' ambition and innovation
14. Why does the author refer to the critic’s view in the final paragraph?
A. To prove the failure of the new trend.
B. To change the topic to social problems.
C. To show strong opposition to the policy.
D. To address a doubt to strengthen the argument.
15. For the author, the real value of the “returnee” trend is measured by its ________.
A. rapid widespread expansion B. short-term economic outcomes
C. symbolic power to transform mindsets D. total number of returnee-founded businesses
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了发展中经济体毕业生返乡创业、助力乡村发展的新趋势。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A growing number of graduates are reversing this trend, returning to their rural roots. (越来越多的毕业生正在扭转这一趋势,回到他们的农村故土。)”及第二段“The phenomenon is particularly evident in China. Marketing graduate Li Wei bypassed a Shanghai corporate career to revive his family’s Jiangxi tea plantation. (这一现象在中国尤为明显。市场营销专业毕业生李伟放弃了上海的企业工作,回到江西重振家族茶园。)”可知,李伟的案例是为了具体例证“毕业生返乡创业”这一新兴趋势。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It is strengthened by significant infrastructural (基础设施) improvements. High-speed Internet and nationwide transport networks have removed the traditional barriers of isolation and limited market access. A young person in a remote village can now manage an online store, study market trends, and ship products nationwide as efficiently as in any urban center. Furthermore, government initiatives aimed at reducing poverty and rural revitalization have created a favorable ecosystem. Policies offering tax breaks, start-up funding, and technical training have smoothed the path to starting up, which lessens risks that once made such a return impractical for graduates with loans.(这一趋势的发展,得益于显著的基础设施改善。高速网络与全国性交通网络,消除了以往偏远地区与世隔绝、市场准入受限的传统障碍。如今,偏远乡村的年轻人可以运营网店、研究市场趋势、向全国范围发货,其效率不亚于身处任何一座城市中心。此外,政府推出的扶贫及乡村振兴相关举措,也营造了良好的发展环境。减税优惠、创业资金扶持、技能培训等政策,为返乡创业铺平了道路,降低了曾经让身负助学贷款的毕业生望而却步的创业风险。)”可知,“有利生态环境”主要由“基础设施改善(公共设施)”和“政策支持”共同构建。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Critics might argue that these are isolated success stories, not a widespread solution to rural decline. They question the large-scale replication (复制) of such models. However, the trend’s significance may lie less in participant numbers than in its demonstration effect.(批评者可能认为这些只是个例成功,而非解决农村衰退的普遍方案。他们质疑此类模式的大规模复制。然而,这一趋势的意义或许不在于参与者数量,而在于其示范效应。)”可知,作者提及批评者观点是为了回应“个例而非普遍现象”的质疑,通过转折进一步强化“趋势具有示范意义”的核心论点。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“These returnees are role models, proving prosperity isn’t exclusively urban. They are injecting new skills, capital, and a new mindset into the countryside, with the potential to reshape its future.(这些返乡青年已然成为榜样,他们向世人证明,繁荣并非城市的专属。他们正为乡村注入全新的技能、资本与理念,有望重塑乡村的未来。)”可知,作者认为该趋势的真正价值在于其“改变人们对农村发展的固有认知”的象征意义和示范力量。故选C项。

【39题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:小巧的建筑和窗户被巧妙布置,如同画框一般勾勒出景致。空处作谓语动词,句子描客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语Small buildings and windows为复数,且与动词place之间为被动关系(被布置),应用被动语态,place的过去分词为placed,主语复数,be动词用are。故填are placed。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:水是每座园林不可或缺的一部分。part为可数名词单数,essential以元音音素开头,此处表泛指,应用不定冠词an来限定,an essential part表示 “一个不可或缺的部分”。故填an。
【41题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:它倒映着天空与建筑,营造出宁静祥和的氛围。空处作谓语动词,根据并列谓语reflects可知,此处应用一般现在时。主语it为第三人称单数,应用一般现在时的第三人称单数形式。故填creates。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:流水声、花香以及亭台楼阁的景致,共同营造出令人放松的体验。空处连接三个并列主语:The sound of water、the smell of flowers及the view of pavilions,应用并列连词and来连接。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:总之,苏州园林不仅仅是建筑与植物的组合;它们是人类与自然和谐共生的完美典范。in short为固定短语,意为“总之”,句首单词首字母需大写。故填In。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它们提供了一处宁静的休憩之所,始终是中国最伟大的文化成就之一。空处作定语修饰名词escape,需用peace的形容词形式peaceful,表示“宁静的”。故填peaceful。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:苏州园林不仅仅是美丽的景致,更是心灵的庇护所,印证了中国人追求人与自然、建筑和谐共生的理想。sight表示“景致、风景”时为可数名词,根据下文的“Suzhou gardens”可知,此处泛指的“美丽的景致”应该不止一处,故应用复数形式sights。故填sights。

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。
This year for my 17th birthday, my mom offered to have a party at our backyard — she even promised to make my favorite chocolate cake. I've always loved gathering friends, but picking the guest list felt like a hard thing. Mom said I could invite 12 people, and that number made my choices limited, especially when Zoe came to mind.
“How dare you put her name on the list?” Lily, my best friend since elementary school, said angrily when she looked at my notebook. Her voice was loud enough to make a few classmates glance over.
Zoe moved to our class last month. She always carried a box of colorful thread (线), knitting (编织) small animals during breaks instead of talking about others. Her hair was usually tied in a simple ponytail (马尾辫), and she spoke so quietly that you had to move closer to hear her. Some kids laughed at her for “being stuck in grandma’s hobbies” — once, someone knocked her thread box over, and her knitted rabbits fell everywhere. Zoe just got down on her knees to pick them up, her eyes shiny. I helped her gather them, and she handed me a small knitted cat as a thank-you. It’s still on my desk now.
Now Lily stood in front of me, saying Zoe would “make the party boring.” She even named two classmates who “fit better” — girls from the cheer team who always laughed loud. I knew Lily cared about me, but the picture of Zoe’s shaking hands when she picked up the thread kept coming into my mind. I didn’t want to make her feel left out again. Yet I hesitated: what if Lily was right, and the party turned awkward?
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Confused about my choices, I found it hard to make my final decision.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
Confused about my choices, I found it hard to make my final decision. Stuck in hesitation, I paced back and forth in my room, my eyes constantly drawn to the knitted cat on the desk. The moment I recalled Zoe’s grateful smile when I helped her, I made up my mind. Determined to be kind, I crossed out a name and added Zoe’s, then explained to Lily, hoping she’d accept my choice, though she still looked unsure. Finally, I managed to persuade Lily. The big day came and they all went to attend my birthday party.
Unexpectedly, they got along well with quiet Zoe at my party. “Would you like to try knitting a flower?” Zoe asked gently, her hands taking out a basket of colorful thread. To my surprise, Lily nodded immediately. A wave of happiness washed over me as I saw them sitting together, laughing and talking. Gradually, they came to know Zoe and made friends with her. “This is so fun” one of them exclaimed, her voice full of pleasure. By the end, no one thought the party was boring — instead, it was the most memorable one I’d ever had.
【解析】

Canada’s Outstanding National Parks: Preserving Heritage and Offering Outdoor Adventures
Since Canada established its first national park in 1885, its park system has grown to protect diverse landscapes, playing a key role in preserving natural heritage while offering world-class outdoor experiences. These 3 parks stand out as shining examples, showcasing the unique charm of Canada’s 48 national park units.
Banff National Park
Established: 1885
Entrance Fees: CA $10 per adult, free for kids under 17
As Canada’s first national park, Banff is well-known for its glacial lakes — Lake Louise, surrounded by snow-capped peaks, is a must-visit for photography lovers, while Moraine Lake boasts crystal-clear waters. It’s home to diverse wildlife like elk (马鹿), often seen wandering around and grizzly bears, and offers hiking trails for all skill levels, from easy lakeside walks to challenging mountain hikes.
Jasper National Park
Established: 1907
Entrance Fees: CA $10 per adult, free for kids under 17
As Canada’s largest dark-sky preserve, Jasper benefits from minimal light pollution — making it an ideal spot for starwatching, and even offering visitors a chance to see the Northern Lights in winter. The park also features striking glaciers, such as Athabasca Glacier (阿萨巴斯卡冰川) where guided tours allow visitors to walk across its icy surface. Additionally, the well-known Icefields Parkway cuts through Jasper, serving as a link between the park and Banff.
Pacific Rim National Park Reserve
Established: 1970
Entrance Fees: Free
Located on Vancouver Island, this park combines ancient rainforests and rough Pacific coasts. Its rainforests are filled with towering trees, where rare birds like the marbled murrelet nest. Long Beach is a top spot for surfing, with Pacific waves ideal for both beginners and professionals. The West Coast Trail offers multi-day hikes through old-growth forests, and bring whale-watching opportunities — gray whales are commonly spotted.
1. What do photography lovers most likely want to visit in Canada’s first national park?
A. Long Beach with ideal surfing waves

Once the choice of the royal household, the watermelon has gained popularity rapidly over the years, and an online grocer reported that the fruit’s sales on the platform had increased sixfold from 2020 to 2022, resulting in increasingly high demand for watermelon quality testers.
Lee, 32, is extremely busy in the summer months. Just by holding the watermelon near his ear and knocking on the surface with his fingers, Lee says, he can tell by the sound if the fruit is ripe enough to be eaten or not. He works for a rural cooperative set up by a group of watermelon farmers, and puts thousands of watermelons through the “knock test” daily, before they are shipped to downtown warehouses where the platform sources its supplies.
The practice of knocking on watermelons to determine their ripeness can be found across cultures. In China, it is considered a national habit. Smart buyers tap on the fruit before purchase to ensure their money is well-spent. Some buyers knock on the fruit despite not knowing what the hollow sound means just to negotiate a better deal from the seller.
As fruit sales have moved to online platforms in a big way, those who make a living by checking the quality of the fruits with their fingers are much in demand. Lee is one among the growing group. Their task is to conduct knock tests on behalf of e-buyers and ensure that the fruits selected to be sold online are uniform in size and quality.
Lee, who was once an award-winning soccer player, now describes himself as a “goalkeeper for watermelons”. He quit soccer about four years ago and learned about melon-knocking as an emerging profession and decided to become an apprentice (学徒) to an experienced farmer.
After a year’s trial and error, Lee worked independently as a quality checker. “It is a highly demanding task. During the apprenticeship, I often cracked open melons to confirm my judgment. There are just no shortcuts (捷径),” he said.
4. What has led to the high demand for watermelon quality testers?
A. The popularity of watermelons. B. The big harvest of watermelons.
C. An increase in watermelon prices. D. A rapid rise in online watermelon sales.
5 Why does Lee describe himself as a “goalkeeper for watermelons”?
A. He was once an award-winning soccer player.
B. He dreams of being a professional melon-knocker.
C. He was taught by an experienced watermelon farmer.
D. He ensures that customers enjoy watermelons of quality.
6. What can we learn from Lee’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Seeing is believing. B. Every man has his value.
C. Great efforts and practice matter. D. Excellence can be found in any profession.
7. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To introduce an emerging profession.
B. To describe Lee’s career transformation.
C. To discuss the importance of fruit quality testers.
D. To explain the cultural role of watermelon knocking.
C
The New Frontier: AI Shifts from Perception to Action
For years, the story of artificial intelligence (AI) has been one of ever-improving perception. AI systems learned to “see” with image recognition, “hear” with speech-to-text, and “understand” with large language models. They became brilliant at analyzing the world. Now, however, the focus is shifting dramatically from passive perception to active action. The next great challenge for AI is not just to interpret data, but to make complex decisions and carry out tasks in the real, unpredictable world.
This transition is powered by a branch of AI often called “embodied AI” or “action models.” Unlike their predecessors (被代替物) that primarily processed unchanging information, these new models are designed to learn by interacting with environments. They don’t just recognize a chair; they learn how to navigate around it, or how a robot arm can pick it up. This requires a continuous cycle of perception, decision-making, and physical action, a far more complex problem than one-off analysis.
Real-world applications are already emerging. In robotics, AIs are learning to perform delicate tasks like assembling (装配) electronics or sorting warehouse goods, adapting their grip and force in real-time. In autonomous driving, the core challenge is no longer just identifying obstacles, but making split-second decisions — to slow down, swerve, or stop — based on a flood of sensory data. Even in digital fields, “action AI” can manage complex systems like cooling in data centers, dynamically adjusting settings to better for both performance and energy efficiency.
However, this leap is fraught with challenges. The real world is messy and full of uncertainties. An AI must handle situations it has never clearly been trained on, a concept known as “generalization.” Furthermore, every action has results, raising critical questions about safety and responsibility.
As AI moves from being a tool of analysis to a tool of action, ensuring its decisions are safe, reliable, and arranged with human intentions becomes the most important concern. The journey from a perceiving intelligence to an acting one is the new frontier, and it will define the next decade of technological evolution.
8. What is the key difference between the new “action models” and their predecessors?
A. They are much better at analyzing unchanging information and data.
B. They focus on a single analysis rather than a continuous process.
C. They learn through interaction and perform physical actions.
D. They are mainly used in digital fields like data centers.
9. The underlined word “fraught” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. full B. successful C. free D. popular
10. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about the future of AI development?
A. The ability to perceive will become more important than the ability to act.
B. Safety and reliability will be central to the next stage of AI evolution.
C. AI will soon be able to handle all real-world situations without challenges.
D. The concept of “generalization” will become less important as AI improves.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain the concept of image recognition and speech-to-text.
B. To discuss the challenges and failures of current AI systems.
C. To introduce the shift of AI from perception to action and its implications.
D. To predict the exact timeline for the development of autonomous cars.
D
For decades, the narrative (叙述) of progress in developing economies was straightforward: ambitious youth left rural villages for city opportunities. This migration powered urban growth but drained (流失) the countryside of its most talented young people. However, a shift is underway. A growing number of graduates are reversing this trend, returning to their rural roots. Driven by personal fulfillment, technology, and policy, they are not just finding jobs but creating a new rural economy.
The phenomenon is particularly evident in China. Marketing graduate Li Wei bypassed a Shanghai corporate career to revive his family’s Jiangxi tea plantation. By applying modern branding techniques through e-commerce platforms, he has not only multiplied the family’s income but also created a recognizable brand that employs local residents. “The city offered a defined path, but here I see boundless possibilities to actually build something and see its direct impact on my community,” Li explains.
This movement is far from a simple romanticization of rural life. It is strengthened by significant infrastructural (基础设施) improvements. High-speed Internet and nationwide transport networks have removed the traditional barriers of isolation and limited market access. A young person in a remote village can now manage an online store, study market trends, and ship products nationwide as efficiently as in any urban center. Furthermore, government initiatives aimed at reducing poverty and rural revitalization have created a favorable ecosystem. Policies offering tax breaks, start-up funding, and technical training have smoothed the path to starting up, which lessens risks that once made such a return impractical for graduates with loans.
Critics might argue that these are isolated success stories, not a widespread solution to rural decline. They question the large-scale replication (复制) of such models. However, the trend’s significance may lie less in participant numbers than in its demonstration effect. These returnees are role models, proving prosperity isn’t exclusively urban. They are injecting new skills, capital, and a new mindset into the countryside, with the potential to reshape its future.
12. The case of Li Wei is introduced primarily to ________.
A. highlight rural marketing value B. provide a typical trend example
C. emphasize the personal fulfillment D. suggest an easily copied success model
13. The “favorable ecosystem” in Para.3 is chiefly created through ________.
A. natural beauty and lower costs B. digital platforms and online sales
C. policy support and public facilities D. returnees' ambition and innovation
14. Why does the author refer to the critic’s view in the final paragraph?
A. To prove the failure of the new trend.
B. To change the topic to social problems.
C. To show strong opposition to the policy.
D To address a doubt to strengthen the argument.
15. For the author, the real value of the “returnee” trend is measured by its ________.
A. rapid widespread expansion B. short-term economic outcomes
C. symbolic power to transform mindsets D. total number of returnee-founded businesses

Whether going electric is right for them. It is true that sometimes gaining access to reliable charging can seem a bit difficult. ____16____ How to charge an electric vehicle (EV) is one of the biggest concerns people have when working out.
First, download an app with a comprehensive map of the public charging points showing their locations, how powerful they are, and whether they’re working. All this is vital information because, even if you have public charging points nearby, you will need alternatives in case they are in use. ____17____
A growing number of property owners are renting out their charging points and driveways to other local EV drivers when they’re not using them. ____18____
Thus, your car gets charged, the owners make money, and emissions are reduced. ____19____ For example, when your car is running out of juice, you’d just pull up to a battery-change station from your car brand and sit in the car while a fully charged unit is changed in. The Chinese EV brand Nio does this, but isn’t available in the UK as yet.
For now, if charging access remains difficult for you, it’s still possible to go electric — in part. ____20____ Many hybrid (混合的) cars are now good for 50 miles of electric running before you need to use the engine. So, if most of your driving is local, you might only need to find a charger once or twice a week, while you have the backup of a fuel engine for long journeys.
A. It actually worked out much cheaper.
B. But it may be much easier than you think.
C. So you need to master where your nearest points are.
D. There are also other innovative ways to get your EV going.
E. A plug-in EV combines a petrol engine with a smaller battery.
F. A “fast” charger usually takes eight hours to fully charge an EV.
G. You can find a map of homeowners whose charging points are available.

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。
This year for my 17th birthday, my mom offered to have a party at our backyard — she even promised to make my favorite chocolate cake. I've always loved gathering friends, but picking the guest list felt like a hard thing. Mom said I could invite 12 people, and that number made my choices limited, especially when Zoe came to mind.
“How dare you put her name on the list?” Lily, my best friend since elementary school, said angrily when she looked at my notebook. Her voice was loud enough to make a few classmates glance over.
Zoe moved to our class last month. She always carried a box of colorful thread (线), knitting (编织) small animals during breaks instead of talking about others. Her hair was usually tied in a simple ponytail (马尾辫), and she spoke so quietly that you had to move closer to hear her. Some kids laughed at her for “being stuck in grandma’s hobbies” — once, someone knocked her thread box over, and her knitted rabbits fell everywhere. Zoe just got down on her knees to pick them up, her eyes shiny. I helped her gather them, and she handed me a small knitted cat as a thank-you. It’s still on my desk now.
Now Lily stood in front of me, saying Zoe would “make the party boring.” She even named two classmates who “fit better” — girls from the cheer team who always laughed loud. I knew Lily cared about me, but the picture of Zoe’s shaking hands when she picked up the thread kept coming into my mind. I didn’t want to make her feel left out again. Yet I hesitated: what if Lily was right, and the party turned awkward?
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Confused about my choices, I found it hard to make my final decision.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Unexpectedly, they got along well with quiet Zoe at my party.
