From emotional breakdowns to quiet companionship, more people today are turning to AI for support. As tools like ChatGPT become part of everyday life, from dating apps to therapy bots, some ____1____(believe) we’re not just using machines to save time, but also asking them to handle emotions.
Many users, especially those feeling isolated or anxious, find comfort in AI’s calm and steady tone. “It reflects ____2____ I say,” one user shared, “and sometimes, that’s all I need.” For people under stress, having ____3____ that listens without judging can make a big difference. AI, always available and never upset, may seem more supportive than a human friend during hard times.
Still, others remain unconvinced. Sounding kind and understanding, AI may create a sense of care, but lacking real emotion, it cannot truly connect. ____4____ the ability to feel or to process pain in a human way, it functions by predicting likely responses based on patterns in data. ____5____(see) through this lens, the support it offers can be considered less meaningful, especially when compared to real human empathy.
Some people argue that such help is not as meaningful as it appears, especially if users begin to trust it more than they ____6____. In some cases, people even felt betrayed — as if the machine ____7____(lie) to them, by sounding caring while actually knowing nothing about what they were going through.
Experts remind us that AI, like any tool, depends on how it’s used. A knife can be used ____8____(prepare) food, or to hurt. In the same way, AI can support or harm. Using it responsibly is key. There are deeper questions, too. ____9____ advanced, AI will remain less human than it sounds. It cannot fully copy our tone, timing, or emotions. And if AI ever becomes conscious, we may face complex debates about ethics and rights.
In the end, AI is not a friend, but a mirror — one that reflects us, but doesn’t truly know us. Still, for some, that quiet reflection may be enough to feel just a little ____10____(alone).

Early Schooling and the emergence of a Gender Gap in Mathematics
Although boys and girls ____21____ similar cognitive abilities in early childhood, especially in basic number and spatial ____22____, gender differences in mathematics achievement often emerge later. A recent large-scale study conducted in France has shed new light on when and how this ____23____ begins.
Researchers analyzed data from over 2.6 million students from first to second grade over a four-year period. At the start of ____24____ education, boys and girls performed nearly ____25____ in mathematics. However, just four months after entering first grade, a small but ____26____ gap appeared, favoring boys. By the beginning of second grade, the gap had widened further.
This trend was observed across all school types, socio-economic levels, and geographic regions, suggesting a systemic phenomenon. The findings also ____27____ that the gap correlates more with time spent in school than with age, indicating that the school environment plays a crucial role in its development.
The researchers ____28____ that this disparity is unlikely to reflect inherent differences in ability. ____29____, social and educational factors — such as teacher ____30____, classroom dynamics, and stereotype internalization — may be responsible. For instance, previous studies have shown that teachers often attribute boys’ math success to talent, while girls’ success is linked to effort. Additionally, girls tend to ____31____ higher levels of math anxiety, especially under pressure. More than 76% of girls in the research claimed they were under much stress.
In contrast to mathematics, a ____32____ performance gap — favoring girls — was already present before school entry and remained relatively stable, showing less influence from classroom instruction.
These findings highlight the importance of early educational ____33____. Promoting gender-equitable teaching practices, presenting diverse role models in STEM fields, and ____34____ math anxiety in young students could help reduce the gender gap before it becomes entrenched.
By recognizing that such differences begin during the first year of schooling, educators and policymakers may take timely action to foster more ____35____ and supportive learning environments for all children.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
The “Labubu,” pastel-colored, fuzzy creatures with bunny ears, have become China’s latest soft power symbol and global fashion phenomenon. Celebrities like Rihanna and Blackpink’s Lisa have showcased them, fueling their popularity. Fans line up for hours at Pop Mart stores worldwide, with some camping overnight, eager to buy these collectibles, often sold in blind boxes that add an element of surprise. Last year, Pop Mart sold approximately $418 million worth of Labubu dolls, with international sales soaring 375%.
However, the craze has also led to a significant counterfeit market. Chinese customs have seized nearly 49,000 fake Labubu items recently, including plastic dolls, keychains, and building blocks. False Lafufus, as they’re called, are sold openly in markets and online, even reaching boutiques in Taipei and Seoul, indicating widespread imitation.
In response, Chinese authorities are cracking down on these counterfeits to protect intellectual property and bolster China’s cultural image. Pop Mart has applied to trademark “Lafufu” to combat illegitimate copies, and official guidelines now help consumers distinguish authentic dolls—real Labubus feature nine sharp teeth, unlike their fakes.
Experts note that the crackdown isn’t just about protecting Pop Mart but also about safeguarding China’s emerging soft power and creative industry reputation. Critics argue that overexposure and counterfeit saturation could diminish the appeal of genuine Labubu dolls. Nevertheless, the collectible’s emotional and social value persists, with enthusiasts bonding over the thrill of the hunt and unboxing. Some rare Labubus fetch auction prices exceeding $150,000, and owning them is seen as a symbol of cultural capital.
36. According to the 1st paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Some pop stars showcased Labubu, making it famous.
B. Some Labubu dolls are worth up to millions of dollars.
C. Labubus are out of stock throughout the world in stores.
D. Labubus carried on both economic and cultural value.
37. What does the underlined word bolster in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?
A. improve B. defense C. glorify D. boost
38. Why did Pop Mart apply to trademark “Lafufu”?
A. To release their new series of dolls. B. To purchase fake dolls from markets.
C. To fight against imitations in markets. D. To punish the illegal manufacturers.
39. Which of the following statements CONTRADICTS the last paragraph?
A. Fake Labubu dolls decrease the appeal of quality ones.
B. Some expensive Labubus symbolizes Chinese culture.
C. The popularity of Labubus brings further worth to it.
D. Many people buy Labubus for the fun of unboxing.

For over 15 years, Carlos Chaccour has researched a novel strategy to combat malaria: using ivermectin, a common antiparasitic (抗寄生虫的) drug, to make human blood toxic to mosquitoes that feed on it. His team’s recent large-scale trial in Kenya provides the first evidence that this approach can work at a community level. Participants received three monthly doses of ivermectin, which reduced malaria cases in children by about 26% over six months, compared to 22% of a control group given albendazole. This is considered a significant, high-quality indication of ivermectin’s potential, especially for school-aged children who often lack protection from bed nets.
A Chaccour counters that the Kenyan trial is a proof of concept, emphasizing the importance of high community coverage and timely distribution during peak mosquito breeding seasons. He suggests future enhancements, such as more doses or longer-lasting formulations, could improve efficacy. Additionally, ivermectin’s ability to treat other diseases like scabies adds value.
B Critics argue that a 26% reduction, while promising, is modest and may not justify widespread deployment, especially given current limitations: ivermectin cannot be given to pregnant women or young children, and prior large studies in Burkina Faso and Guinea-Bissau failed to show consistent benefits. Some experts believe that the small effect size and practical hurdles mean the approach might not be a viable standalone solution.
C The concept stems from Chaccour’s early discovery that ivermectin kills insects feeding on treated blood. Previous studies, including his 2010 research, demonstrated that mosquitoes feeding on blood from ivermectin-treated volunteers had higher death rates. However, translating this into a meaningful reduction in malaria has proven challenging, with earlier trials showing mixed results.
The World Health Organization (WHO) currently does not recommend ivermectin for malaria control, citing the need for stronger evidence from multiple trials. Nonetheless, researchers agree that further well-designed studies are essential to determine whether ivermectin can become a useful tool in the global fight against malaria.
43. According to the 1st paragraph, it can be inferred that albendazole ________.
A. has no effect on treatment of malaria B. shows poorer effect than ivermectin
C. is a traditional drug against malaria D. poses less side effects than ivermectin
44. What is the proper order of Paragraph A, B, and C?
A. C→B→A. B. B→A→C. C. C→A→B. D. B→C→A.
45. The main reason why critics oppose ivermectin is that ivermectin ______.
A. isn’t much more effective than others B. shows potential safety issues in trials
C. can only be used in limited situations D. has no capacity to independently cure malaria
46. What can be learned from WHO’s attitude towards ivermectin?
A. WHO encourages more trials on severe patients as tests.
B. WHO doesn’t regard ivermectin a potential useful drug.
C. WHO will conduct more experiments to gain evidence.
D. WHO is waiting for evidential supports on ivermectin.
【答案】43. C 44. A 45. D 46. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了伊维菌素通过毒杀蚊虫降低疟疾传播,肯尼亚的试验显示其效果,但批评者认为效果有限且适用人群受限,世卫组织暂未推荐该治疗方法,呼吁更多证据支持。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Participants received three monthly doses of ivermectin, which reduced malaria cases in children by about 26% over six months, compared to 22% of a control group (参与者在连续三个月中每月服用一次伊维菌素,共三次剂量,在六个月内将儿童疟疾病例减少了约26%,而对照组的这一比例为22%)”可知,接受伊维菌素的实验组对照的是接受画线药物的小组,以测试这种新治疗方式的疗效,结合医学实验为保证患者安全,通常会让对照组按照常规标准接受药物治疗可推知,画线的药物是传统的抗疟疾药物。需注意该药效果比伊维菌素差是基于文本的理解,无需逻辑推断。故选C项。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。通读方框内容,尤其是段落A中“Chaccour counters that the Kenyan trial is a proof of concept, emphasizing the importance of high community coverage and timely distribution during peak mosquito breeding seasons. (Chaccour反驳说,肯尼亚的试验是概念的证明,强调了高社区覆盖率和在蚊子繁殖高峰季节及时分发的重要性。)”、段落B中“Critics argue that a 26% reduction, while promising, is modest and may not justify widespread deployment, especially given current limitations (批评人士认为,26%的下降虽然有希望,但幅度不大,可能不足以证明广泛部署是合理的,尤其是考虑到目前的限制)”和段落C中“The concept stems from Chaccour’s early discovery that ivermectin kills insects feeding on treated blood. (这个概念源于Chaccour的早期发现,即伊维菌素可以杀死以处理过的血液为食的昆虫。)”可知,段落C介绍伊维菌素作用的起源及早期研究,属于背景信息,应排第一,承接首段的研究发现,段落B提出批评观点,从客观角度对研究发现作出评价,应排第二,段落A是Chaccour的反驳,讨论试验的积极意义及未来改进方向,其反驳是针对段落B的批评,应排第三。故选A项。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据方框所给段落B中“Some experts believe that the small effect size and practical hurdles mean the approach might not be a viable standalone solution. (一些专家认为,较小的效应规模和实际障碍意味着该方法可能不是一个可行的独立解决方案。)”可知,批评者反对伊维菌素的主要原因是伊维菌素没有独立治疗疟疾的能力。故选D项。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The World Health Organization (WHO) currently does not recommend ivermectin for malaria control, citing the need for stronger evidence from multiple trials. (世界卫生组织(WHO)目前不建议将伊维菌素用于疟疾控制,理由是需要从多项试验中获得更有力的证据。)”可知,世界卫生组织未完全否定伊维菌素的潜力,但需更多证据,表明它正在等待关于伊维菌素的证据支持。故选D项。

Plant-based diets have become increasingly popular, driven by concerns for health, animal welfare, and the environment. More people are replacing meat with fruits, vegetables, and grains, and this trend shows no sign of slowing down.
Nutritional balance is a key focus for those adopting such diets. While plants offer plenty of fiber and vitamins, they often lack certain nutrients. ____47____ For example, vitamin B12, critical for nerve function, is rarely found in plant foods, so many vegetarians rely on supplements.
____48____ In some cultures, plant-based eating is deeply rooted in tradition. Take Thailand, where dishes like green curry with tofu and stir-fried morning glory are staples. These meals are not just vegetarian but central to the country’s culinary identity, passed down through generations.
Other cultures, however, struggle to embrace meat-free diets. In Argentina, where asado (barbecue) is a cornerstone of social life, replacing beef with plant-based alternatives can feel like a rejection of cultural heritage. ____49____ Families often gather around grilled meats, and many view vegetarianism as a foreign concept.
Technological innovations are making plant-based diets more accessible. Companies now produce plant-based steaks and sausages that closely mimic the taste and texture of meat. ____50____ From vegan cheese to egg substitutes, these products allow people to enjoy familiar flavors while sticking to their dietary choices.
A. It’s not just about the food itself, but also about upholding age-old culinary traditions.
B. These cultural connections create hurdles for plant-based diets in such areas.
C. They utilize components like mushroom extract and pea protein to replicate the texture.
D. Cultural norms significantly influence the acceptance of plant-based diets.
E. Hence, meticulous meal planning is crucial to prevent nutrient deficiencies.

Ⅲ. Summary Writing
51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Thirty-Three
Shortly, I told Gabby that I could have been alive for half my life or all of it. She countered, suggesting a third. We sipped orange wine, described as “funky,” in a Berkeley restaurant filled with the glow of headlights through rain-streaked windows. Our conversations often centered on time — its different types, how we measure it, and its origins. One night, we became fascinated by the idea that time could be a universal fact or just the way we perceive it, like the ticking clock on the wall.
The following day, our neighbor Gloria banged on the wall, prompting us to buy her flowers and write a note. I shared with Gabby that my brother had died at twenty-eight, and I was now five years older than he ever was. I wasn’t seeking sympathy but understanding, language to frame my experience. As we ate bread, Gabby mentioned a time-related app that claims to predict how many years we have left, based on lifestyle questions we answered at the table.
Earlier, I had a fleeting sense that I might outlive my brother, despite knowing he hadn’t lived well. He refused a sentimental pocket watch from our grandfather, saying he couldn’t bear to keep something so meaningful. Our grandfather later gave the watch to me. I remembered middle school, when the album “Illmatic” and its chorus resonated with him, looping through his closed door. These memories began to overlay as I sat with Gabby, recalling moments of family and youth, all blending into the present.
In that moment, I was hugging my grandfather on Berkeley’s University Ave., thanking him for the watch, and sharing memories of my brother. I realized how much time had passed since I met Gabby — almost a year ago, we didn’t know each other. I told Gabby the watch still worked but needed winding, forgiving my brother for his choices and words. Gabby smiled, and we clinked glasses of orange wine, sharing a meal of tuna carpaccio and boar ragu, feeling the flow of time and memory together.

Ⅳ. Translation
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.
52. 百年历史古戏台风韵犹存,依稀可辨当年辉煌。(whose) (汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The century-old opera stage, whose past/ former glory is faintly visible, retains/ keeps its original charm/ glamour.
【解析】
【详解】考查非限制性定语从句、形容词和动词。根据句意,该句描述客观存在的状态,全句使用一般现在时,表示“百年历史古戏台”为the century-old opera stage作主语;表示“风韵犹存”为retain/keep its original charm/glamour作谓语和宾语部分,主语为单数,所以谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式;表示“依稀可辨当年辉煌”作非限制性定语从句修饰先行词The century-old opera stage,先行词与从句中的“当年辉煌”为所属关系,所以使用关系代词whose引导,“当年辉煌”为past/former glory作从句主语,“依稀可辨”为is faintly visible。故翻译为The century-old opera stage, whose past/ former glory is faintly visible, retains/ keeps its original charm/ glamour.
53. 这款笔记本电脑兼顾便携与长续航,深受商务人士青睐。(favour)(汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】This type of laptop wins the favour of/ is highly favored by business professionals by striking a balance between portability and long battery life/ duration.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语搭配和时态。句子陈述事实,用一般现在时;表示“这款笔记本电脑”用This type of laptop,作句子的主语;表示“深受……青睐”用win the favour of,win用第三人称单数形式wins,或be highly favored by,be动词用is,两者均符合题目要求,且在句中作谓语部分;表示“商务人士”用business professionals,作宾语;表示“在……和……之间取得平衡”用striking a balance between...and...,表示“便携性”用portability,表示“长续航”用long battery life/ duration,所以表示“兼顾便携与长续航”用by striking a balance between portability and long battery life/ duration,其中by表示方式。故翻译为This type of laptop wins the favour of/ is highly favored by business professionals by striking a balance between portability and long battery life/ duration.
54. 新郎身着剪裁精美的西装,将新娘拥入怀中,这一刻他期盼已久。(The moment)(汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The moment when the bridegroom, dressed in a fine/well-tailored suit, embraces/gives a hug to his bride, is what he has looked forward to for long.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句、非谓语动词和表语从句。根据句意,该句描述的是婚礼上的一个经典场景,主句用一般现在时表客观画面,从句用现在完成时表持续的期盼;表示“这一刻”为the moment作主语;表示“新郎身着剪裁精美的西装,将新娘拥入怀中”作定语从句修饰先行词The moment,先行词在从句中作时间状语,所以使用关系副词when引导,从句中“新郎”为the bridegroom作主语,“身着剪裁精美的西装”为过去分词短语dressed in a fine/well-tailored suit作后置定语修饰the bridegroom,“将新娘拥入怀中”为embraces/gives a hug to his bride作从句谓语和宾语;主句谓语动词用is,“他期盼已久的”作表语从句,连接代词what在从句中作宾语,“期盼”为look forward to,“很久”为for long作状语。故翻译为The moment when the bridegroom, dressed in a fine / well- tailored suit, embraces/ gives a hug to his bride, is what he has looked forward to for long.
55. 她翻着电子相册,绘声绘色地给我讲了在法国小镇的所见所闻,还非要跟我显摆意外习得的几句法语。(account)(汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Browsing / Leafing / Scrolling through her digital album, she gave me a vivid account of her experiences in the French town and insisted on showing off to me the few French phrases she had accidentally picked up.
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词、固定搭配和定语从句。根据句意,该句描述过去发生的动作,全句以一般过去时为基调;表示“翻着电子相册”作伴随状语,与主语she为主动关系,使用现在分词形式,“翻(电子相册)”可译为browsing/leafing/scrolling through,“电子相册”为her digital album;表示“绘声绘色地给我讲了……的所见所闻”使用固定搭配give me a vivid account of sth.,give的过去式为gave,“她在法国小镇的所见所闻”译为her experiences in the French town作介词of的宾语;表示“还非要跟我显摆”使用并列连词and连接,“非要做某事”译为insist on doing sth.,insist的过去式为insisted,“显摆”为show off;表示“意外习得的几句法语”中,“几句法语”为the few French phrases,“意外习得的”使用定语从句修饰名词短语,先行词the few French phrases在从句中作宾语,可省略关系代词that/which,“习得”为pick up,“意外”为accidentally,从句动作发生在主句动作之前,使用过去完成时had picked up,因此定语从句译为she had accidentally picked up。故翻译为Browsing / Leafing / Scrolling through her digital album, she gave me a vivid account of her experiences in the French town and insisted on showing off to me the few French phrases she had accidentally picked up.
Ⅴ. Guided Writing
56. Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.
西方有如下古谚:
The best is the enemy of good.
日常生活中,一定也有许多时刻,让你顿感:至善者,善之敌。请你结合成长过程中的个人经历,谈谈你对这句话的理解。
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
There’s an old Western saying: “The best is the enemy of the good.” I used to take this lightly until high school.
Back then, I spent weeks perfecting a history presentation — rewriting slides, rehearsing endlessly — only to miss the deadline for submitting it on time. My teacher gave me a zero, saying, “Done is better than perfect.” That moment hit hard. I realized my pursuit of perfection had robbed me of even achieving something good.
Since then, I’ve learned to set realistic standards. Completing tasks well — but not obsessively — has actually improved my efficiency and reduced stress. Striving for excellence is valuable, but when it paralyzes action or causes unnecessary loss, it becomes harmful.
Now I believe: embrace “good enough” when it serves progress. After all, real growth lies not in flawless results, but in consistent, timely effort.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达属于开放性作文。要求考生结合个人成长经历,谈谈对西方古谚“The best is the enemy of good”(至善者,善之敌)的理解。

Ⅰ. Grammar and Vocabulary
Section A
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
From emotional breakdowns to quiet companionship, more people today are turning to AI for support. As tools like ChatGPT become part of everyday life, from dating apps to therapy bots, some ____1____(believe) we’re not just using machines to save time, but also asking them to handle emotions.
Many users, especially those feeling isolated or anxious, find comfort in AI’s calm and steady tone. “It reflects ____2____ I say,” one user shared, “and sometimes, that’s all I need.” For people under stress, having ____3____ that listens without judging can make a big difference. AI, always available and never upset, may seem more supportive than a human friend during hard times.
Still, others remain unconvinced. Sounding kind and understanding, AI may create a sense of care, but lacking real emotion, it cannot truly connect. ____4____ the ability to feel or to process pain in a human way, it functions by predicting likely responses based on patterns in data. ____5____(see) through this lens, the support it offers can be considered less meaningful, especially when compared to real human empathy.
Some people argue that such help is not as meaningful as it appears, especially if users begin to trust it more than they ____6____. In some cases, people even felt betrayed — as if the machine ____7____(lie) to them, by sounding caring while actually knowing nothing about what they were going through.
Experts remind us that AI, like any tool, depends on how it’s used. A knife can be used ____8____(prepare) food, or to hurt. In the same way, AI can support or harm. Using it responsibly is key. There are deeper questions, too. ____9____ advanced, AI will remain less human than it sounds. It cannot fully copy our tone, timing, or emotions. And if AI ever becomes conscious, we may face complex debates about ethics and rights.
In the end, AI is not a friend, but a mirror — one that reflects us, but doesn’t truly know us. Still, for some, that quiet reflection may be enough to feel just a little ____10____(alone).

Global Tourism Rebalancing in 2025
The strain of overtourism continues to test well-known destinations worldwide. Iconic sites from Amsterdam to Mount Fuji now grapple with mounting pressures, including buckling infrastructure and growing resident discontent. Cities have adopted varied ____11____: Venice imposes visitor fees, while Barcelona tightens short-term rental rules, yet their long-term success remains uncertain.
Post-pandemic travel surged to unprecedented heights, yet 2024’s modest ____12____ over pre-COVID levels masked an unsustainable trend. The tourism industry now prioritizes ____13____ economic gains with community welfare, a shift from its earlier growth-at-all-costs mindset.
Emerging ____14____ point to 2025 bringing a slowdown. Declining traffic to travel platforms and eased price growth suggest the market is self-correcting. Analysts view this shift with cautious optimism, interpreting it as part of the sector’s natural ____15____ patterns.
Strategic destination management offers the most feasible path forward. Thoughtful measures such as ____16____ dispersion(spreading visitors across peak and off-peak times)and optimizing visitor flow aim to maximize benefits while minimizing disruptions. London, for instance, accommodates nearly 19 million annual visitors ____17____ proving balance is achievable.
Opting for restrictive policies instead ____18____ down economic prospects. Competing destinations, by contrast, actively court expanding travel markets through relaxed regulations. Public ____19____ data reveals most residents still recognize tourism’s value, even amid localized challenges.
This transitional phase presents an opportunity to redefine sustainable tourism models. The coming year may establish new ____20____ for harmonizing visitor experiences with community needs. Successful destinations will be those adopting innovative, data-driven solutions rather than merely reacting to issues as they arise.
Ⅱ. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Early Schooling and the emergence of a Gender Gap in Mathematics
Although boys and girls ____21____ similar cognitive abilities in early childhood, especially in basic number and spatial ____22____, gender differences in mathematics achievement often emerge later. A recent large-scale study conducted in France has shed new light on when and how this ____23____ begins.
Researchers analyzed data from over 2.6 million students from first to second grade over a four-year period. At the start of ____24____ education, boys and girls performed nearly ____25____ in mathematics. However, just four months after entering first grade, a small but ____26____ gap appeared, favoring boys. By the beginning of second grade, the gap had widened further.
This trend was observed across all school types, socio-economic levels, and geographic regions, suggesting a systemic phenomenon. The findings also ____27____ that the gap correlates more with time spent in school than with age, indicating that the school environment plays a crucial role in its development.
The researchers ____28____ that this disparity is unlikely to reflect inherent differences in ability. ____29____, social and educational factors — such as teacher ____30____, classroom dynamics, and stereotype internalization — may be responsible. For instance, previous studies have shown that teachers often attribute boys’ math success to talent, while girls’ success is linked to effort. Additionally, girls tend to ____31____ higher levels of math anxiety, especially under pressure. More than 76% of girls in the research claimed they were under much stress.
In contrast to mathematics, a ____32____ performance gap — favoring girls — was already present before school entry and remained relatively stable, showing less influence from classroom instruction.
These findings highlight the importance of early educational ____33____. Promoting gender-equitable teaching practices, presenting diverse role models in STEM fields, and ____34____ math anxiety in young students could help reduce the gender gap before it becomes entrenched.
By recognizing that such differences begin during the first year of schooling, educators and policymakers may take timely action to foster more ____35____ and supportive learning environments for all children.

The “Labubu,” pastel-colored, fuzzy creatures with bunny ears, have become China’s latest soft power symbol and global fashion phenomenon. Celebrities like Rihanna and Blackpink’s Lisa have showcased them, fueling their popularity. Fans line up for hours at Pop Mart stores worldwide, with some camping overnight, eager to buy these collectibles, often sold in blind boxes that add an element of surprise. Last year, Pop Mart sold approximately $418 million worth of Labubu dolls, with international sales soaring 375%.
However, the craze has also led to a significant counterfeit market. Chinese customs have seized nearly 49,000 fake Labubu items recently, including plastic dolls, keychains, and building blocks. False Lafufus, as they’re called, are sold openly in markets and online, even reaching boutiques in Taipei and Seoul, indicating widespread imitation.
In response, Chinese authorities are cracking down on these counterfeits to protect intellectual property and bolster China’s cultural image. Pop Mart has applied to trademark “Lafufu” to combat illegitimate copies, and official guidelines now help consumers distinguish authentic dolls—real Labubus feature nine sharp teeth, unlike their fakes.
Experts note that the crackdown isn’t just about protecting Pop Mart but also about safeguarding China’s emerging soft power and creative industry reputation. Critics argue that overexposure and counterfeit saturation could diminish the appeal of genuine Labubu dolls. Nevertheless, the collectible’s emotional and social value persists, with enthusiasts bonding over the thrill of the hunt and unboxing. Some rare Labubus fetch auction prices exceeding $150,000, and owning them is seen as a symbol of cultural capital.

For over 15 years, Carlos Chaccour has researched a novel strategy to combat malaria: using ivermectin, a common antiparasitic (抗寄生虫的) drug, to make human blood toxic to mosquitoes that feed on it. His team’s recent large-scale trial in Kenya provides the first evidence that this approach can work at a community level. Participants received three monthly doses of ivermectin, which reduced malaria cases in children by about 26% over six months, compared to 22% of a control group given albendazole. This is considered a significant, high-quality indication of ivermectin’s potential, especially for school-aged children who often lack protection from bed nets.
A Chaccour counters that the Kenyan trial is a proof of concept, emphasizing the importance of high community coverage and timely distribution during peak mosquito breeding seasons. He suggests future enhancements, such as more doses or longer-lasting formulations, could improve efficacy. Additionally, ivermectin’s ability to treat other diseases like scabies adds value.
B Critics argue that a 26% reduction, while promising, is modest and may not justify widespread deployment, especially given current limitations: ivermectin cannot be given to pregnant women or young children, and prior large studies in Burkina Faso and Guinea-Bissau failed to show consistent benefits. Some experts believe that the small effect size and practical hurdles mean the approach might not be a viable standalone solution.
C The concept stems from Chaccour’s early discovery that ivermectin kills insects feeding on treated blood. Previous studies, including his 2010 research, demonstrated that mosquitoes feeding on blood from ivermectin-treated volunteers had higher death rates. However, translating this into a meaningful reduction in malaria has proven challenging, with earlier trials showing mixed results.
The World Health Organization (WHO) currently does not recommend ivermectin for malaria control, citing the need for stronger evidence from multiple trials. Nonetheless, researchers agree that further well-designed studies are essential to determine whether ivermectin can become a useful tool in the global fight against malaria.
43. According to the 1st paragraph, it can be inferred that albendazole ________.
A. has no effect on treatment of malaria B. shows poorer effect than ivermectin
C. is a traditional drug against malaria D. poses less side effects than ivermectin
44. What is the proper order of Paragraph A, B, and C?
A. C→B→A. B. B→A→C. C. C→A→B. D. B→C→A.
45. The main reason why critics oppose ivermectin is that ivermectin ______.
A. isn’t much more effective than others B. shows potential safety issues in trials
C. can only be used in limited situations D. has no capacity to independently cure malaria
46. What can be learned from WHO’s attitude towards ivermectin?
A. WHO encourages more trials on severe patients as tests.
B. WHO doesn’t regard ivermectin a potential useful drug.
C. WHO will conduct more experiments to gain evidence.
D. WHO is waiting for evidential supports on ivermectin.
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Plant-based diets have become increasingly popular, driven by concerns for health, animal welfare, and the environment. More people are replacing meat with fruits, vegetables, and grains, and this trend shows no sign of slowing down.
Nutritional balance is a key focus for those adopting such diets. While plants offer plenty of fiber and vitamins, they often lack certain nutrients. ____47____ For example, vitamin B12, critical for nerve function, is rarely found in plant foods, so many vegetarians rely on supplements.
____48____ In some cultures, plant-based eating is deeply rooted in tradition. Take Thailand, where dishes like green curry with tofu and stir-fried morning glory are staples. These meals are not just vegetarian but central to the country’s culinary identity, passed down through generations.
Other cultures, however, struggle to embrace meat-free diets. In Argentina, where asado (barbecue) is a cornerstone of social life, replacing beef with plant-based alternatives can feel like a rejection of cultural heritage. ____49____ Families often gather around grilled meats, and many view vegetarianism as a foreign concept.
Technological innovations are making plant-based diets more accessible. Companies now produce plant-based steaks and sausages that closely mimic the taste and texture of meat. ____50____ From vegan cheese to egg substitutes, these products allow people to enjoy familiar flavors while sticking to their dietary choices.
A. It’s not just about the food itself, but also about upholding age-old culinary traditions.
B. These cultural connections create hurdles for plant-based diets in such areas.
C. They utilize components like mushroom extract and pea protein to replicate the texture.
D. Cultural norms significantly influence the acceptance of plant-based diets.
E. Hence, meticulous meal planning is crucial to prevent nutrient deficiencies.
F. A common concern is that eliminating meat might cause fatigue or weakness.
Ⅲ. Summary Writing
51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Thirty-Three
Shortly, I told Gabby that I could have been alive for half my life or all of it. She countered, suggesting a third. We sipped orange wine, described as “funky,” in a Berkeley restaurant filled with the glow of headlights through rain-streaked windows. Our conversations often centered on time — its different types, how we measure it, and its origins. One night, we became fascinated by the idea that time could be a universal fact or just the way we perceive it, like the ticking clock on the wall.
The following day, our neighbor Gloria banged on the wall, prompting us to buy her flowers and write a note. I shared with Gabby that my brother had died at twenty-eight, and I was now five years older than he ever was. I wasn’t seeking sympathy but understanding, language to frame my experience. As we ate bread, Gabby mentioned a time-related app that claims to predict how many years we have left, based on lifestyle questions we answered at the table.
Earlier, I had a fleeting sense that I might outlive my brother, despite knowing he hadn’t lived well. He refused a sentimental pocket watch from our grandfather, saying he couldn’t bear to keep something so meaningful. Our grandfather later gave the watch to me. I remembered middle school, when the album “Illmatic” and its chorus resonated with him, looping through his closed door. These memories began to overlay as I sat with Gabby, recalling moments of family and youth, all blending into the present.
In that moment, I was hugging my grandfather on Berkeley’s University Ave., thanking him for the watch, and sharing memories of my brother. I realized how much time had passed since I met Gabby — almost a year ago, we didn’t know each other. I told Gabby the watch still worked but needed winding, forgiving my brother for his choices and words. Gabby smiled, and we clinked glasses of orange wine, sharing a meal of tuna carpaccio and boar ragu, feeling the flow of time and memory together.
