(原创题)Many parents dream of their children growing up and seeing the world. But Edith Lemay a mother of four from Canada, worried her children were running out of time to do that.
When her first child, Mia, was little, she noticed she would bump into things. In 2018, Mia was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa(色素性视网膜炎).
“What it does is that the cell in the retina dies over time and they lose their field of vision. There’s a chance they will go completely blind by midlife,” said Lemay.
The disease is genetic, meaning Lemay’s other kids were at risk. She soon noticed two of her sons, Collin and Laurent, had the same symptoms. They were soon diagnosed, too.
“Of course it was devastating(令人极为震惊的). And when you have a kid, you always have an image of what their future is going to be like and all of a sudden, you get that news and you need to erase that and think it over. And it really is a grieving process,” Lemay said.
Lemay wanted to prepare her kids for what was to come and thought about filling their visual memory. In March, Lemay, her husband, and her four kids left Canada and embarked on an epic journey, traveling the globe for a whole year—showing their kids the world, before it is too late.
During their trip Lemay is homeschooling her kids. The family also made a bucket list of fun activities they want to accomplish, so each kid can see their dreams come true.
Lemay said her kids are not only making visual memories. They’re also learning important life lessons, like focusing on the positive. “Sometimes they’re tired and there’s frustration. It’s difficult. But with the travel, I want them to be resilient.”
“I want them to know that any situation that’s hard is temporary, because through their life, they’ll need lots of resilience,” she said. “They’re going to adapt to a situation with their eyesight and then in a few years later, they’ll lose a chunk of their eyesights and they will have to readapt and adapt again and fall and get back again,” Lemay continued.
Many parents want to give their kids the world and this mom did.
24. When was Mia diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa?
A. In 2018. B. When she was born.
C. When the family started their global trip. D. When she became completely blind.
25. Which of the following is true about the disease retinitis pigmentosa?
A. It can be cured with proper treatment. B. It only affects children’s field of vision temporarily.
C. It is not a genetic disease. D. It may lead to complete blindness by midlife.
26. Which word can best describe Edith Lemay?
A. Helpless. B. Responsible. C. Impulsive. D. Selfish.
27. What can we infer from the passage about Lemay’s kids during the trip?
A. They only gained visual memories of the world.
B. They dropped out of school and stopped learning.
C. They learned to face difficulties with a positive attitude.
D. They complained a lot about the tiring and frustrating journey.

(新热点)(原创题)AI for Everyone: The Rise of Affordable Smart Technology
Artificial intelligence (AI) was once a luxury limited to big tech companies. Building advanced AI models used to require millions of dollars in computing power and teams of top engineers. But today, a new wave of affordable AI is changing the game, making this technology accessible to small businesses, schools, and even individual users.
Chinese tech start-up DeepSeek made headlines in 2025 with its open-source AI model. Unlike expensive competitors, this model delivers similar performance in tasks like coding, math problem-solving, and language translation—yet it costs only a fraction of the price to develop. The company revealed that training the AI required less than $6 million in computing resources, which is 10 times cheaper than what major tech giants spend on their latest systems. This breakthrough has challenged the old idea that only big companies can afford cutting-edge AI. What’s more, DeepSeek has made the model’s core framework open to the public, allowing developers and researchers to modify and upgrade it for free, thus speeding up the innovation of AI applications in various fields.
Affordable AI is already making a difference in daily life. In rural schools, AI tutors help students with personalized learning plans, filling gaps in subjects where teachers are in short supply. Small shops use AI tools to analyze customer preferences and manage inventory more efficiently, reducing waste and increasing profits. Even healthcare clinics in remote areas benefit—AI-powered apps can now assist doctors in diagnosing common diseases by analyzing medical data, enabling timely treatment for patients who live far from big hospitals.
However, this progress comes with questions. Experts warn about potential risks like data privacy and unfair competition. As more people use AI, protecting personal information becomes increasingly important. There are also concerns that some jobs might be replaced by automation, especially those involving repetitive manual work. But most experts agree that the key lies in finding a balance: using AI to improve lives while setting clear rules to guide its development. Governments around the world are also exploring policies to regulate AI use, ensuring that the technology serves the public good rather than just a small group of interests.
From expensive laboratory projects to everyday tools, AI has come a long way. As affordable AI continues to grow, it promises to bring more innovation and convenience to the world—proving that advanced technology doesn’t have to come with a high price tag.
28. How much did it cost to train DeepSeek’s AI model?
A. Less than $6 million. B. Exactly $6 million. C. 10 million dollars. D. More than $60 million.
29. What does the underlined word "inventory" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. The total amount of money a shop earns B. The stock of goods a shop has for sale
C. The list of customers a shop serves D. The rules a shop follows for management
30. Which of the following is a practical use of affordable AI according to the passage?
A. Replacing all teachers in rural schools. B. Helping big tech companies earn more money.
C. Stopping all data privacy problems. D. Assisting doctors in diagnosing common diseases.
31. What can we infer from the passage about affordable AI?
A. It has solved all the problems of traditional AI.
B. It is only used by small businesses and schools.
C. It brings both benefits and challenges to society.
D. It will completely replace human workers in the future.

(原创题)Lab-grown chicken is finally making its way onto menus in the United States, a long-awaited milestone for the food tech industry. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has recently given official permission for selling cultured (培养的) meat produced by two leading companies, Good Meat and Upside Foods, marking a significant breakthrough that has been years in the making for the cultured meat industry. The production process of this innovative meat starts with taking a small sample of chicken cells, which are then nurtured in a controlled lab environment with nutrient-rich solutions to grow and multiply. These companies grow these small amounts of chicken cells into edible meat in a controlled lab environment, without the need for traditional slaughter (屠宰), a key difference from conventional meat production. However, this permission is currently limited to chicken products; both companies still require additional approval from regulatory authorities to market cell-cultured beef, pork or seafood to the public.
Concerns have been growing among Americans about traditional meat production in recent years, as its environmental and ethical drawbacks become more apparent. This conventional method contributes to about 15% of global carbon emissions, a major factor in climate change, and can encourage the growth of antibiotic-resistant (耐抗生素的) bacteria due to the overuse of antibiotics in livestock farming. Additionally, it pollutes waterways with large quantities of animal waste, which contaminates rivers and groundwater supplies. Beyond environmental issues, the animals themselves often live in cramped cages with relatively short and stressful lives. “The current methods of traditional meat production are at the root of many environmental and animal welfare issues,” says Good Meat CEO Josh Tetrick, highlighting the urgent need for more sustainable alternatives.
Despite these concerns, meat remains a significant part of many people’s diets due to deep-rooted cultural, traditional and nutritional reasons. For many consumers, giving up meat entirely is not a feasible option, which is where cultured meat companies step in. They position themselves as producers of sustainable and ethically sound meat, aiming to provide meat lovers with a guilt-free choice that satisfies both their nutritional needs and desire for tasty food. Unlike plant-based meat substitutes, cultured meat is biologically identical to conventional meat, preserving the familiar flavor and texture that consumers enjoy.
The production process for lab-grown meat is relatively straightforward in theory, but the main challenge lies in building sufficient large-scale production facilities to lower costs and scale up output. Both Good Meat and Upside Foods, now armed with both USDA and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) permissions, can shift their focus to expanding their production capacities to meet the expected market demand. At the beginning, lab-grown chicken will only be available at a handful of select high-end restaurants, including Bar Crenn in San Francisco and a restaurant owned by renowned chef José Andrés in Washington, allowing a small group of consumers to experience the new product before it becomes more widely accessible.
32. What is a key feature of lab-grown chicken?
A. It’s grown from artificial materials. B. It originates from cultured chicken cells.
C. It has the advantage of low production costs. D. It’s preferred for its taste over regular chicken.
33. What is the problem with traditional meat production?
A. It goes against its sustainable practices. B. It fails to meet consumers’ demand for meat.
C. It has a negative impact on the environment. D. It leads to overcrowded living conditions for animals.
34. What is the text mainly about?
A. Cultured meat permitted for sale in the US.
B. The technological advancements in cultured meat.
C. The cultural impact of cultured meat on dietary habits.
D. The environmental influence of traditional meat production.

(新动向)Participating in practical labor (劳动) can bring children joy, skills, and inspiration, and it is an ability that will benefit them throughout their lives. ____35____
Parents often wonder when their children can start performing meaningful labor tasks. Studies suggest that children as young as four can begin to complete simple chores.

第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
(新题材)Imagine playing a game of Old Maid with a child. She is about to pick a card. It would cost her the game. You think about how excited she'd be if she won. So you hint that she might want to select another card. She does. She wins. You’re both happy. But was letting her win a wise move?
Scientists and children experts have long said losing once in a while helps children build coping skills. It also helps them learn what the real world is like.
A new study has been done by Amherst College and the University of Virginia. The study looks at 4 and 5-year-olds. The researchers conducted a series of trials where the children played a game with hidden objects.
Two adults gave clues to the locations of the objects. One adult gave accurate clues. The other gave false ones. Then, the researchers set up the game so that half of the kids always found the hidden object as the uncontrolled group. The remaining children played another game in the controlled group. This game was left to chance. They were more likely to find out the hidden objects if they listened carefully. After all, one adult would give helpful information.
Afterwards, researchers asked the kids which of the two adults they’d select to help them find more hidden objects? The kids in the uncontrolled game preferred the adult who gave accurate clues. But those in the controlled version had no preference.
That means if you always let children win, they might not learn to spot important information relevant to future success.
Cheating to help kids win games has ties to today’s “trophy games.” Children are often given rewards simply for participating in sports and other competitive events.
Parents may believe they are assuring their child’s good self-esteem by rewarding them for showing up, says Nicki Nance, who is a licensed psychologist and a professor at Beacon College.
Although giving participation prize isn’t necessarily harmful, it is important for children to learn how to distinguish true accomplishments from mere participation.
“Self-esteem doesn’t come from being adored.” Nance says. It comes from mastery. “If we don’t let children fail, they miss the opportunity to take ownership of success.”
40. Why do scientists and children experts say losing once in a while is helpful?
________________________________________________________________________________________
41. Why did the children in the controlled group have no preference in choosing adult to help them find more hidden objects?
________________________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
▶To help children learn how to distinguish true accomplishments from mere participation, participation prize should not be awarded.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
43. Please explain what you have learned from your failure with an example. (In about 40 words)

retinitis pigmentosa(色素性视网膜炎).
"What it does is that the cell in the retina dies over time and they lose their field of vision.There's a chance they
will go completely blind by midlife,"said Lemay.

The disease is genetic,meaning Lemay's other kids were at risk.She soon noticed two of her sons,Collin and
Laurent,had the same symptoms.They were soon diagnosed,too.
“Of course it was devastating(令人极为震惊的).And when you have a kid,you always have an image of what
游
their future is going to be like and all of a sudden,you get that news and you need to erase that and think it over.And
it really is a grieving process,"Lemay said.
Lemay wanted to prepare her kids for what was to come and thought about filling their visual memory.In March,

Lemay,her husband,and her four kids left Canada and embarked on an epic journey,traveling the globe for a whole
year-showing their kids the world,before it is too late.
During their trip Lemay is homeschooling her kids.The family also made a bucket list of fun activities they
want to accomplish,so each kid can see their dreams come true.

Lemay said her kids are not only making visual memories.They're also learning important life lessons,like
focusing on the positive."Sometimes they're tired and there's frustration.It's difficult.But with the travel,I want them

"I want them to know that any situation that's hard is temporary,because through their life,they'll need lots of

resilience,"she said."They're going to adapt to a situation with their eyesight and then in a few years later,they'll
lose a chunk of their eyesights and they will have to readapt and adapt again and fall and get back again,"Lemay
continued.

(新热点)(原创题)AI for Everyone:The Rise of Affordable Smart Technology
Artificial intelligence (AD was once a luxury limited to big tech companies.Building advanced AI models used

is changing the game,making this technology accessible to small businesses,schools,and even individual users.
Chinese tech start-up DeepSeek made headlines in 2025 with its open-source AI model.Unlike expensive

competitors,this model delivers similar performance in tasks like coding,math problem-solving,and language
translation-yet it costs only a fraction of the price to develop.The company revealed that training the AI required
less than $6 million in computing resources,which is 10 times cheaper than what major tech giants spend on their

latest systems.This breakthrough has challenged the old idea that only big companies can afford cutting-edge AI.
What's more,DeepSeek has made the model's core framework open to the public,allowing developers and researchers
to modify and upgrade it for free,thus speeding up the innovation of AI applications in various fields.

Affordable AI is already making a difference in daily life.In rural schools,AI tutors help students with
personalized learning plans,filling gaps in subjects where teachers are in short supply.Small shops use AI tools to
analyze customer preferences and manage inventory more efficiently,reducing waste and increasing profits.Even
healthcare clinics in remote areas benefit-AI-powered apps can now assist doctors in diagnosing common diseases
by analyzing medical data,enabling timely treatment for patients who live far from big hospitals.

However,this progress comes with questions.Experts warn about potential risks like data privacy and unfair

competition.As more people use AI,protecting personal information becomes increasingly important.There are also
concerns that some jobs might bereplaced by automation,especially those involving repetitive manual work.But most

experts agree that the key lies in finding a balance:using AI to improve lives while setting clear rules to guide its
development.Governments around the world are also exploring policies to regulate AI use,ensuring that the
technology serves the public good rather than just a small group of interests.

()Lab-grown chicken is finally making its way onto menus in the United States,a long-awaited milestone
for the food tech industry.The US Department of Agriculture(USDA)has recently given official permission for selling
cultured meat produced by two leading companies,Good Meat and Upside Foods,marking a significant
breakthrough that has been years in the making for the cultured meat industry.The production process of this
innovative meat starts with taking a small sample of chicken cells,which are then nurtured in a controlled lab
environment with nutrient-rich solutions to grow and multiply.These companies grow these small amounts of chicken
cells into edible meat in a controlled lab environment,without the need for traditional slaughter ()a key difference
from conventional meat production.However,this permission is currently limited to chicken products;both companies
still require additional approval from regulatory authorities to market cell-cultured beef,pork or seafood to the public.
Concerns have been growing among Americans about traditional meat production in recent years,as its
environmental and ethical drawbacks become more apparent.This conventional method contributes to about 15%of
global carbon emissions,a major factor in climate change,and can encourage the growth of antibiotic-resistant(
bacteria due to the overuse of antibiotics in livestock farming.Additionally,it pollutes waterways with large
quantities of animal waste,which contaminates rivers and groundwater supplies.Beyond environmental issues,the
animals themselves often live in cramped cages with relatively short and stressful lives."The current methods of
traditional meat production are at the root of many environmental and animal welfare issues,"says Good Meat CEO
Josh Tetrick,highlighting the urgent need for more sustainable alternatives
Despite these concerns,meat remains a significant part of many people's diets due to deep-rooted cultural,
traditional and nutritional reasons.For many consumers,giving up meat entirely is not a feasible option,which is
where cultured meat companies step in.They position themselves as producers of sustainable and ethically sound meat,
aiming to provide meat lovers with a guilt-free choice that satisfies both their nutritional needs and desire for tasty
food.Unlike plant-based meat substitutes,cultured meat is biologically identical to conventional meat,preserving the
familiar flavor and texture that consumers enjoy.
The production process for lab-grown meat is relatively straightforward in theory,but the main challenge lies in
building sufficient large-scale production facilities to lower costs and scale up output.Both Good Meat and Upside
Foods,now armed with both USDA and FDA (Food and Drug Administration)permissions,can shift their focus to
expanding their production capacities to meet the expected market demand.At the beginning,lab-grown chicken will

only be available at a handful of select high-end restaurants,including Bar Crenn in San Francisco and a restaurant
owned by renowned chef Jose Andres in Washington,allowing a small group of consumers to experience the new
product before it becomes more widely accessible.
32.What is a key feature of lab-grown chicken?
A.It's grown from artificial materials.
B.It originates from cultured chicken cells.
C.It has the advantage of low production costs.D.It's preferred for its taste over regular chicken.
33.What is the problem with traditional meat production?
A.It goes against its sustainable practices.
B.It fails to meet consumers'demand for meat.
C.It has a negative impact on the environment.D.It leads to overcrowded living conditions for animals
34.What is the text mainly about?
A.Cultured meat permitted for sale in the US
B.The technological advancements in cultured meat.
C.The cultural impact of cultured meat on dietary habits.
D.The environmental influence of traditional meat production.

(新动向)Participating in practical labor(劳a动)can bring childrenjoy,skills,and inspiration,and it is an ability
that will benefit them throughout their lives.35
Parents often wonder when their children can start performing meaningful labor tasks.Studies suggest that
children as young as four can begin to complete simple chores.This means your little one could develop a passion for
hands-on work sooner than you think.36 Just keep developing their interest in practical activities,and they'll
soon be participating enthusiastically and learning valuable life skills.
_37 The most suitable types of labor for children,from my experience,are gardening and simple cooking.
These activities can greatly improve children's patience and sense of responsibility.In the garden,children can learn
important values like perseverance and care for living things.So,let children get their hands dirty;they'll grow while
having fun.
Technical labor activities for children are becoming more popular.38These tasks introduce basic
engineering and problem-solving concepts in an engaging way.They involve colorful materials,interesting tools,and
satisfying results.They can develop children's interest in practical sciences.If you want your child to develop these
skills,try introducing some of these activities
Practical labor is children's best teacher during their development.Both gardening and technical activities,with
their unique benefits,can guide kids to explore the real world and develop practical intelligence.39 Let's
encourage children to labor more!

Scientists and children experts have long said losing once in a while helps children build coping skills.It also
helps them leam what the real world is like.
S
A new study has been done by Amherst College and the University of Virginia.The study looks at 4 and 5-year-
O
olds.The researchers conducted a series of trials where the children played a game with hidden objects.
Two adults gave clues to the locations of the objects.One adult gave accurate clues.The other gave false ones.
Then,the researchers set up the game so that half of the kids always found the hidden object as the uncontrolled group.
S
The remaining children played another game in the controlled group.This game was left to chance.They were more
likely to find out the hidden objects if they listened carefully.After all,one adult would give helpful information.
Afterwards,researchers asked thekids which of the two adults they'd select to help them find more hidden objects?
些
The kids in the uncontrolled game preferred the adult who gave accurate clues.But those in the controlled version had
o
no preference.
That means if you always let children win,they might not learn to spot important information relevant to future
success.
Cheating to help kids win games has ties to today's"trophy games."Children are often given rewards simply for
焙
participating in sports and other competitive events.
Parents may believe they are assuring their child's good self-esteem by rewarding them for showing up,says
Nicki Nance,who is a licensed psychologist and a professor at Beacon College.

“Of course it was devastating(令人极为震惊的). And when you have a kid, you always have an image of what their future is going to be like and all of a sudden, you get that news and you need to erase that and think it over. And it really is a grieving process,” Lemay said.
Lemay wanted to prepare her kids for what was to come and thought about filling their visual memory. In March, Lemay, her husband, and her four kids left Canada and embarked on an epic journey, traveling the globe for a whole year—showing their kids the world, before it is too late.
During their trip Lemay is homeschooling her kids. The family also made a bucket list of fun activities they want to accomplish, so each kid can see their dreams come true.
Lemay said her kids are not only making visual memories. They’re also learning important life lessons, like focusing on the positive. “Sometimes they’re tired and there’s frustration. It’s difficult. But with the travel, I want them to be resilient.”
“I want them to know that any situation that’s hard is temporary, because through their life, they’ll need lots of resilience,” she said. “They’re going to adapt to a situation with their eyesight and then in a few years later, they’ll lose a chunk of their eyesights and they will have to readapt and adapt again and fall and get back again,” Lemay continued.
Many parents want to give their kids the world and this mom did.
24. When was Mia diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa?
A. In 2018. B. When she was born.

(新热点)(原创题)AI for Everyone: The Rise of Affordable Smart Technology
Artificial intelligence (AI) was once a luxury limited to big tech companies. Building advanced AI models used to require millions of dollars in computing power and teams of top engineers. But today, a new wave of affordable AI is changing the game, making this technology accessible to small businesses, schools, and even individual users.
Chinese tech start-up DeepSeek made headlines in 2025 with its open-source AI model. Unlike expensive competitors, this model delivers similar performance in tasks like coding, math problem-solving, and language translation—yet it costs only a fraction of the price to develop. The company revealed that training the AI required less than $6 million in computing resources, which is 10 times cheaper than what major tech giants spend on their latest systems. This breakthrough has challenged the old idea that only big companies can afford cutting-edge AI. What’s more, DeepSeek has made the model’s core framework open to the public, allowing developers and researchers to modify and upgrade it for free, thus speeding up the innovation of AI applications in various fields.
Affordable AI is already making a difference in daily life. In rural schools, AI tutors help students with personalized learning plans, filling gaps in subjects where teachers are in short supply. Small shops use AI tools to analyze customer preferences and manage inventory more efficiently, reducing waste and increasing profits. Even healthcare clinics in remote areas benefit—AI-powered apps can now assist doctors in diagnosing common diseases by analyzing medical data, enabling timely treatment for patients who live far from big hospitals.
However, this progress comes with questions. Experts warn about potential risks like data privacy and unfair competition. As more people use AI, protecting personal information becomes increasingly important. There are also concerns that some jobs might be replaced by automation, especially those involving repetitive manual work. But most experts agree that the key lies in finding a balance: using AI to improve lives while setting clear rules to guide its development. Governments around the world are also exploring policies to regulate AI use, ensuring that the technology serves the public good rather than just a small group of interests.
From expensive laboratory projects to everyday tools, AI has come a long way. As affordable AI continues to grow, it promises to bring more innovation and convenience to the world—proving that advanced technology doesn’t have to come with a high price tag.
28. How much did it cost to train DeepSeek’s AI model?
A. Less than $6 million. B. Exactly $6 million. C. 10 million dollars. D. More than $60 million.
29. What does the underlined word "inventory" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. The total amount of money a shop earns B. The stock of goods a shop has for sale
C. The list of customers a shop serves D. The rules a shop follows for management
30. Which of the following is a practical use of affordable AI according to the passage?
A. Replacing all teachers in rural schools. B. Helping big tech companies earn more money.
C. Stopping all data privacy problems. D. Assisting doctors in diagnosing common diseases.
31. What can we infer from the passage about affordable AI?
A. It has solved all the problems of traditional AI.
B. It is only used by small businesses and schools.
C. It brings both benefits and challenges to society.
D. It will completely replace human workers in the future.

(原创题)Lab-grown chicken is finally making its way onto menus in the United States, a long-awaited milestone for the food tech industry. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has recently given official permission for selling cultured (培养的) meat produced by two leading companies, Good Meat and Upside Foods, marking a significant breakthrough that has been years in the making for the cultured meat industry. The production process of this innovative meat starts with taking a small sample of chicken cells, which are then nurtured in a controlled lab environment with nutrient-rich solutions to grow and multiply. These companies grow these small amounts of chicken cells into edible meat in a controlled lab environment, without the need for traditional slaughter (屠宰), a key difference from conventional meat production. However, this permission is currently limited to chicken products; both companies still require additional approval from regulatory authorities to market cell-cultured beef, pork or seafood to the public.
Concerns have been growing among Americans about traditional meat production in recent years, as its environmental and ethical drawbacks become more apparent. This conventional method contributes to about 15% of global carbon emissions, a major factor in climate change, and can encourage the growth of antibiotic-resistant (耐抗生素的) bacteria due to the overuse of antibiotics in livestock farming. Additionally, it pollutes waterways with large quantities of animal waste, which contaminates rivers and groundwater supplies. Beyond environmental issues, the animals themselves often live in cramped cages with relatively short and stressful lives. “The current methods of traditional meat production are at the root of many environmental and animal welfare issues,” says Good Meat CEO Josh Tetrick, highlighting the urgent need for more sustainable alternatives.
Despite these concerns, meat remains a significant part of many people’s diets due to deep-rooted cultural, traditional and nutritional reasons. For many consumers, giving up meat entirely is not a feasible option, which is where cultured meat companies step in. They position themselves as producers of sustainable and ethically sound meat, aiming to provide meat lovers with a guilt-free choice that satisfies both their nutritional needs and desire for tasty food. Unlike plant-based meat substitutes, cultured meat is biologically identical to conventional meat, preserving the familiar flavor and texture that consumers enjoy.
The production process for lab-grown meat is relatively straightforward in theory, but the main challenge lies in building sufficient large-scale production facilities to lower costs and scale up output. Both Good Meat and Upside Foods, now armed with both USDA and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) permissions, can shift their focus to expanding their production capacities to meet the expected market demand. At the beginning, lab-grown chicken will only be available at a handful of select high-end restaurants, including Bar Crenn in San Francisco and a restaurant owned by renowned chef José Andrés in Washington, allowing a small group of consumers to experience the new product before it becomes more widely accessible.
32. What is a key feature of lab-grown chicken?
A. It’s grown from artificial materials. B. It originates from cultured chicken cells.
C. It has the advantage of low production costs. D. It’s preferred for its taste over regular chicken.
33. What is the problem with traditional meat production?
A. It goes against its sustainable practices. B. It fails to meet consumers’ demand for meat.
C. It has a negative impact on the environment. D. It leads to overcrowded living conditions for animals.
34. What is the text mainly about?
A. Cultured meat permitted for sale in the US.
B. The technological advancements in cultured meat.
C. The cultural impact of cultured meat on dietary habits.
D. The environmental influence of traditional meat production.

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
(新题材)Imagine playing a game of Old Maid with a child. She is about to pick a card. It would cost her the game. You think about how excited she'd be if she won. So you hint that she might want to select another card. She does. She wins. You’re both happy. But was letting her win a wise move?
Scientists and children experts have long said losing once in a while helps children build coping skills. It also helps them learn what the real world is like.
A new study has been done by Amherst College and the University of Virginia. The study looks at 4 and 5-year-olds. The researchers conducted a series of trials where the children played a game with hidden objects.
Two adults gave clues to the locations of the objects. One adult gave accurate clues. The other gave false ones. Then, the researchers set up the game so that half of the kids always found the hidden object as the uncontrolled group. The remaining children played another game in the controlled group. This game was left to chance. They were more likely to find out the hidden objects if they listened carefully. After all, one adult would give helpful information.
Afterwards, researchers asked the kids which of the two adults they’d select to help them find more hidden objects? The kids in the uncontrolled game preferred the adult who gave accurate clues. But those in the controlled version had no preference.
That means if you always let children win, they might not learn to spot important information relevant to future success.
Cheating to help kids win games has ties to today’s “trophy games.” Children are often given rewards simply for participating in sports and other competitive events.
Parents may believe they are assuring their child’s good self-esteem by rewarding them for showing up, says Nicki Nance, who is a licensed psychologist and a professor at Beacon College.
Although giving participation prize isn’t necessarily harmful, it is important for children to learn how to distinguish true accomplishments from mere participation.
“Self-esteem doesn’t come from being adored.” Nance says. It comes from mastery. “If we don’t let children fail, they miss the opportunity to take ownership of success.”
40. Why do scientists and children experts say losing once in a while is helpful?
________________________________________________________________________________________
41. Why did the children in the controlled group have no preference in choosing adult to help them find more hidden objects?
________________________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
▶To help children learn how to distinguish true accomplishments from mere participation, participation prize should not be awarded.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
43. Please explain what you have learned from your failure with an example. (In about 40 words)

(原创题)Many parents dream of their children growing up and seeing the world. But Edith Lemay a mother of four from Canada, worried her children were running out of time to do that.
When her first child, Mia, was little, she noticed she would bump into things. In 2018, Mia was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa(色素性视网膜炎).
“What it does is that the cell in the retina dies over time and they lose their field of vision. There’s a chance they will go completely blind by midlife,” said Lemay.
The disease is genetic, meaning Lemay’s other kids were at risk. She soon noticed two of her sons, Collin and Laurent, had the same symptoms. They were soon diagnosed, too.
“Of course it was devastating(令人极为震惊的). And when you have a kid, you always have an image of what their future is going to be like and all of a sudden, you get that news and you need to erase that and think it over. And it really is a grieving process,” Lemay said.
Lemay wanted to prepare her kids for what was to come and thought about filling their visual memory. In March, Lemay, her husband, and her four kids left Canada and embarked on an epic journey, traveling the globe for a whole year—showing their kids the world, before it is too late.
During their trip Lemay is homeschooling her kids. The family also made a bucket list of fun activities they want to accomplish, so each kid can see their dreams come true.
Lemay said her kids are not only making visual memories. They’re also learning important life lessons, like focusing on the positive. “Sometimes they’re tired and there’s frustration. It’s difficult. But with the travel, I want them to be resilient.”
“I want them to know that any situation that’s hard is temporary, because through their life, they’ll need lots of resilience,” she said. “They’re going to adapt to a situation with their eyesight and then in a few years later, they’ll lose a chunk of their eyesights and they will have to readapt and adapt again and fall and get back again,” Lemay continued.
Many parents want to give their kids the world and this mom did.
24. When was Mia diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa?
A. In 2018. B. When she was born.
C. When the family started their global trip. D. When she became completely blind.
25. Which of the following is true about the disease retinitis pigmentosa?
A. It can be cured with proper treatment. B. It only affects children’s field of vision temporarily.
C. It is not a genetic disease. D. It may lead to complete blindness by midlife.
26. Which word can best describe Edith Lemay?
A. Helpless. B. Responsible. C. Impulsive. D. Selfish.
27. What can we infer from the passage about Lemay’s kids during the trip?
A. They only gained visual memories of the world.
B. They dropped out of school and stopped learning.
C. They learned to face difficulties with a positive attitude.
D. They complained a lot about the tiring and frustrating journey.

(新热点)(原创题)AI for Everyone: The Rise of Affordable Smart Technology
Artificial intelligence (AI) was once a luxury limited to big tech companies. Building advanced AI models used to require millions of dollars in computing power and teams of top engineers. But today, a new wave of affordable AI is changing the game, making this technology accessible to small businesses, schools, and even individual users.
Chinese tech start-up DeepSeek made headlines in 2025 with its open-source AI model. Unlike expensive competitors, this model delivers similar performance in tasks like coding, math problem-solving, and language translation—yet it costs only a fraction of the price to develop. The company revealed that training the AI required less than $6 million in computing resources, which is 10 times cheaper than what major tech giants spend on their latest systems. This breakthrough has challenged the old idea that only big companies can afford cutting-edge AI. What’s more, DeepSeek has made the model’s core framework open to the public, allowing developers and researchers to modify and upgrade it for free, thus speeding up the innovation of AI applications in various fields.
Affordable AI is already making a difference in daily life. In rural schools, AI tutors help students with personalized learning plans, filling gaps in subjects where teachers are in short supply. Small shops use AI tools to analyze customer preferences and manage inventory more efficiently, reducing waste and increasing profits. Even healthcare clinics in remote areas benefit—AI-powered apps can now assist doctors in diagnosing common diseases by analyzing medical data, enabling timely treatment for patients who live far from big hospitals.
However, this progress comes with questions. Experts warn about potential risks like data privacy and unfair competition. As more people use AI, protecting personal information becomes increasingly important. There are also concerns that some jobs might be replaced by automation, especially those involving repetitive manual work. But most experts agree that the key lies in finding a balance: using AI to improve lives while setting clear rules to guide its development. Governments around the world are also exploring policies to regulate AI use, ensuring that the technology serves the public good rather than just a small group of interests.
From expensive laboratory projects to everyday tools, AI has come a long way. As affordable AI continues to grow, it promises to bring more innovation and convenience to the world—proving that advanced technology doesn’t have to come with a high price tag.
28. How much did it cost to train DeepSeek’s AI model?
A. Less than $6 million. B. Exactly $6 million. C. 10 million dollars. D. More than $60 million.
29. What does the underlined word "inventory" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. The total amount of money a shop earns B. The stock of goods a shop has for sale
C. The list of customers a shop serves D. The rules a shop follows for management
30. Which of the following is a practical use of affordable AI according to the passage?
A. Replacing all teachers in rural schools. B. Helping big tech companies earn more money.
C. Stopping all data privacy problems. D. Assisting doctors in diagnosing common diseases.
31. What can we infer from the passage about affordable AI?
A. It has solved all the problems of traditional AI.
B. It is only used by small businesses and schools.
C. It brings both benefits and challenges to society.
D. It will completely replace human workers in the future.
【答案】28. A 29.B 30. D 31.C
【解析】本文属于科技说明文。文章围绕 “平价 AI 的崛起与社会价值” 展开:开篇对比过去 AI 的 “高门槛” 与如今的 “普惠性”,引出中国初创公司 DeepSeek 的案例(研发成本不足 600 万美元,仅为科技巨头的 1/10,且开放核心框架);接着聚焦平价 AI 的实际应用 —— 农村学校个性化辅导、小商铺库存管理与利润提升、偏远地区医疗诊断辅助,体现其对日常生活的改变;最后客观分析其风险(数据隐私、就业替代)与应对策略(政策监管、平衡发展),最终强调平价 AI “让先进技术惠及大众” 的核心意义。
28. 细节理解题。定位题干核心信息 “cost to train DeepSeek’s AI model”,精准查找原文中关于该模型研发成本的具体数据。根据第二段明确表述 “The company revealed that training the AI required less than 6millionincomputingresources”,“less than 6 million” 与选项 A 完全对应。故选A。
29. 推断词意题。结合 “小商铺经营” 的语境逻辑(动作搭配、结果提示)推导词义,排除与场景无关的干扰项。“inventory” 所在句为 “Small shops use AI tools to analyze customer preferences and manage inventory more efficiently, reducing waste and increasing profits”(小商铺利用 AI 工具分析顾客偏好、更高效地管理 inventory,减少浪费并提高利润)。从语境来看,“manage”(管理)的对象需与 “商铺经营” 相关,且 “减少浪费” 暗示该对象可能存在 “过剩或短缺” 的问题——商铺中 “可能过剩 / 短缺、需要管理以减少浪费” 的事物即 “待售商品库存”,故 “inventory” 指 “商铺的商品库存”,对应选项 B。干扰项排除:A 选项 “商铺总收入” 对应 “profits”(利润)的相关概念,而非 “manage” 的对象;C 选项 “顾客名单” 与 “减少浪费、提高利润” 的结果无逻辑关联;D 选项 “经营规则” 对应 “management”(管理)的方式,而非 “管理的对象”,可排除 A、C、D。故选B。
30.细节理解题。聚焦题干关键词 “practical use of affordable AI”,定位第三段最后一句“Even healthcare clinics in remote areas benefit—AI-powered apps can now assist doctors in diagnosing common diseases by analyzing medical data”,“assist doctors in diagnosing common diseases”(辅助医生诊断常见疾病)与选项 D 完全一致。A 选项 “Replacing all teachers” 中 “all” 表述绝对,原文仅说 “AI tutors help students... filling gaps”(辅助填补教学空缺),并非 “取代所有教师”;B 选项 “Helping big tech companies earn more money” 与原文 “making this technology accessible to small businesses”(惠及小企业)的主旨矛盾;C 选项 “Stopping all data privacy problems” 与第四段 “Experts warn about potential risks like data privacy”(专家警告数据隐私风险)冲突,可排除 A、B、C。故选D。
31.推理判断题。原文第三段详细列举平价 AI 在教育、商业、医疗领域的积极作用(益处),第四段明确指出其面临的数据隐私、就业替代等问题(挑战),且提到 “finding a balance”(寻找平衡),可见平价 AI 对社会 “既有益处也有挑战”,对应选项 C。干扰项排除:A 选项 “solved all the problems” 中 “all” 绝对化,原文未提及平价 AI 解决了传统 AI 的所有问题;B选项 “only used by small businesses and schools” 中 “only” 绝对化,原文第一段提到 “accessible to small businesses, schools, and even individual users”(惠及小企业、学校甚至个人用户),D 选项 “completely replace human workers” 中 “completely” 绝对化,原文仅说 “some jobs might be replaced”(部分工作可能被替代);故排除 A、B、D。故选C。

(原创题)Lab-grown chicken is finally making its way onto menus in the United States, a long-awaited milestone for the food tech industry. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has recently given official permission for selling cultured (培养的) meat produced by two leading companies, Good Meat and Upside Foods, marking a significant breakthrough that has been years in the making for the cultured meat industry. The production process of this innovative meat starts with taking a small sample of chicken cells, which are then nurtured in a controlled lab environment with nutrient-rich solutions to grow and multiply. These companies grow these small amounts of chicken cells into edible meat in a controlled lab environment, without the need for traditional slaughter (屠宰), a key difference from conventional meat production. However, this permission is currently limited to chicken products; both companies still require additional approval from regulatory authorities to market cell-cultured beef, pork or seafood to the public.
Concerns have been growing among Americans about traditional meat production in recent years, as its environmental and ethical drawbacks become more apparent. This conventional method contributes to about 15% of global carbon emissions, a major factor in climate change, and can encourage the growth of antibiotic-resistant (耐抗生素的) bacteria due to the overuse of antibiotics in livestock farming. Additionally, it pollutes waterways with large quantities of animal waste, which contaminates rivers and groundwater supplies. Beyond environmental issues, the animals themselves often live in cramped cages with relatively short and stressful lives. “The current methods of traditional meat production are at the root of many environmental and animal welfare issues,” says Good Meat CEO Josh Tetrick, highlighting the urgent need for more sustainable alternatives.
Despite these concerns, meat remains a significant part of many people’s diets due to deep-rooted cultural, traditional and nutritional reasons. For many consumers, giving up meat entirely is not a feasible option, which is where cultured meat companies step in. They position themselves as producers of sustainable and ethically sound meat, aiming to provide meat lovers with a guilt-free choice that satisfies both their nutritional needs and desire for tasty food. Unlike plant-based meat substitutes, cultured meat is biologically identical to conventional meat, preserving the familiar flavor and texture that consumers enjoy.
The production process for lab-grown meat is relatively straightforward in theory, but the main challenge lies in building sufficient large-scale production facilities to lower costs and scale up output. Both Good Meat and Upside Foods, now armed with both USDA and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) permissions, can shift their focus to expanding their production capacities to meet the expected market demand. At the beginning, lab-grown chicken will only be available at a handful of select high-end restaurants, including Bar Crenn in San Francisco and a restaurant owned by renowned chef José Andrés in Washington, allowing a small group of consumers to experience the new product before it becomes more widely accessible.
32. What is a key feature of lab-grown chicken?
A. It’s grown from artificial materials. B. It originates from cultured chicken cells.
C. It has the advantage of low production costs. D. It’s preferred for its taste over regular chicken.
33. What is the problem with traditional meat production?
A. It goes against its sustainable practices. B. It fails to meet consumers’ demand for meat.
C. It has a negative impact on the environment. D. It leads to overcrowded living conditions for animals.
34. What is the text mainly about?
A. Cultured meat permitted for sale in the US.
B. The technological advancements in cultured meat.
C. The cultural impact of cultured meat on dietary habits.
D. The environmental influence of traditional meat production.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国农业部批准销售实验室培育的鸡肉,标志着培养肉行业的重大突破。这种肉类生产方式更环保,减少了传统肉类生产对环境的影响。
32.细节理解题。根据第一段中的倒数第二句“These companies are able to grow small amounts of chicken cells into meat without the need for traditional slaughter (屠宰). (这些公司能够在不需要传统屠宰的情况下,将少量的鸡细胞培育成肉。)”可知,实验室培育鸡肉的主要特点是它源自培养的鸡细胞。故选B。
33.推理判断题。根据第二段中的倒数第一句和倒数第二句“Additionally, it pollutes waterways with animal waste. And the animals themselves often live relatively short lives in cages. “The current methods of traditional meat production are at the root of many environmental issues,” says Good Meat CEO Josh Tetrick. (此外,它还用动物粪便污染水道。而动物本身在笼子里的寿命往往相对较短。“Good Meat”的首席执行官乔希·蒂特里克说:“目前的传统肉类生产方法是许多环境问题的根源。”)”可知,目前的传统肉类生产方式对环境有负面影响。故选C。
34. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has recently given permission for selling cultured (培养的) meat produced by Good Meat and Upside Foods, marking a significant breakthrough for the cultured meat industry. (美国农业部(USDA)最近批准销售由Good meat和Upside Foods公司生产的人造肉,这标志着人造肉行业取得了重大突破。)”及全文内容可知,全文主要介绍美国批准销售培养肉的消息。故选A。

第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
(新题材)Imagine playing a game of Old Maid with a child. She is about to pick a card. It would cost her the game. You think about how excited she'd be if she won. So you hint that she might want to select another card. She does. She wins. You’re both happy. But was letting her win a wise move?
Scientists and children experts have long said losing once in a while helps children build coping skills. It also helps them learn what the real world is like.
A new study has been done by Amherst College and the University of Virginia. The study looks at 4 and 5-year-olds. The researchers conducted a series of trials where the children played a game with hidden objects.
Two adults gave clues to the locations of the objects. One adult gave accurate clues. The other gave false ones. Then, the researchers set up the game so that half of the kids always found the hidden object as the uncontrolled group. The remaining children played another game in the controlled group. This game was left to chance. They were more likely to find out the hidden objects if they listened carefully. After all, one adult would give helpful information.
Afterwards, researchers asked the kids which of the two adults they’d select to help them find more hidden objects? The kids in the uncontrolled game preferred the adult who gave accurate clues. But those in the controlled version had no preference.
That means if you always let children win, they might not learn to spot important information relevant to future success.
Cheating to help kids win games has ties to today’s “trophy games.” Children are often given rewards simply for participating in sports and other competitive events.
Parents may believe they are assuring their child’s good self-esteem by rewarding them for showing up, says Nicki Nance, who is a licensed psychologist and a professor at Beacon College.
Although giving participation prize isn’t necessarily harmful, it is important for children to learn how to distinguish true accomplishments from mere participation.
“Self-esteem doesn’t come from being adored.” Nance says. It comes from mastery. “If we don’t let children fail, they miss the opportunity to take ownership of success.”
40. Why do scientists and children experts say losing once in a while is helpful?
________________________________________________________________________________________
41. Why did the children in the controlled group have no preference in choosing adult to help them find more hidden objects?
________________________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
▶To help children learn how to distinguish true accomplishments from mere participation, participation prize should not be awarded.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
43. Please explain what you have learned from your failure with an example. (In about 40 words)
_________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. Losing once in a while is helpful in that it not only helps children build coping skills, but also helps them learn what the real world is like.
41. Because they can learn to spot important information relevant to future success.
42. To help children learn how to distinguish true accomplishments from mere participation, participation prize should not be awarded.
Because giving participation prize is helpful in that it is important for children to learn how to distinguish true accomplishments from mere participation.
43. 开放题。言之有理即可。
示例:The example that I failed in the first driving test let me know the importance of safe driving in reality. It also made me understand the true meaning of the saying that failure is the mother of success.
【解析】这是一篇说明文。科学家和儿童专家长期以来一直认为,偶尔的失败有助于孩子建立应对技能。这也有助于他们了解现实世界是什么样的。文章讲述要让孩子从失败中来成就其成功的体验,如果我们不让孩子失败,他们就失去了拥有成功的机会。
40.考查细节理解。根据第二段“Scientists and children experts have long said losing once in a while helps children build coping skills. It also helps them learn what the real world is like.”(科学家和儿童专家长期以来一直认为,偶尔的失败有助于孩子建立应对技能。这也有助于他们了解现实世界是什么样的。)可知,科学家和儿童专家一直认为,偶尔的失败不但有助于孩子建立应对技能,也有助于他们了解现实世界是什么样的。故答案为: Losing once in a while is helpful in that it not only helps children build coping skills, but also helps them learn what the real world is like.
41.考查推理判断。根据第二段中“The remaining children played another game in the controlled group. This game was left to chance. They were more likely to find out the hidden objects if they listened carefully.”(其余的孩子在对照组中玩另一个游戏。这场比赛就看运气了。如果他们仔细倾听,他们更有可能发现隐藏的物体。)第三段“That means if you always let children win, they might not learn to spot important information relevant to future success.”(这意味着如果你总是让孩子赢,他们可能不会学会发现与未来成功相关的重要信息。)可知,当你总是让孩子赢,他们可能不会学会发现与未来成功相关的重要信息。而对于controlled group的孩子们而言,如果他们仔细倾听,他们更有可能发现隐藏的物体。所以他们对大人的选择没有偏好。即因为他们可以学会发现与未来成功相关的重要信息。故答案为:Because they can learn to spot important information relevant to future success.
42.考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“Although giving participation prize isn’t necessarily harmful, it is important for children to learn how to distinguish true accomplishments from mere participation.”(虽然颁发参与奖并不一定是有害的,但对孩子们来说,学会如何区分真正的成就和单纯的参与是很重要的。)可知,对孩子们来说,学会如何区分真正的成就和单纯的参与是很重要的,因而应该给孩子颁发参与奖。所以所给出的句中应该把“not”删除掉。故答案为:To help children learn how to distinguish true accomplishments from mere participation, participation prize should not be awarded. Because giving participation prize is helpful in that it is important for children to learn how to distinguish true accomplishments from mere participation.
43. 开放题。言之有理即可。在第一次驾照考试中的失败,让我知道了在现实中安全驾驶的重要性。同时也让我明白了俗语失败是成功之母的真正意义。故答案为:The example that I failed in the first driving test let me know the importance of safe driving in reality. It also made me understand the true meaning of the saying that failure is the mother of success.
