Several,though,are notable enough to deserve a visit. Toronto's Union Station,named a National Historic Site in 1975,is a magnificent Beaux-Arts landmark covering an entire downtown block.Its 850-foot limestone()front has40-foot Bedford limestone columns,.while the entrance hall's herringbone(人字纹的) marble floors and wall-carved Canadian city names-John Lyle's special design-bring back memories of rail travel's golden age.It opened in 1927 with great celebration and remains Canada's busiest transportation center. Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus mixes Italianate Gothic Revival with Indian elements to make an impressive building.Designed by Frederick Williams Stevens,its inside parts take ideas from Bombay School of Art students,with very beautiful carvings and tile patterns.As the city's transport heart,it is full of people-much more crowded than London or Tokyo's subways during rush hour-and shows Mumbai's lively energy. Vladivostok Station marks the end of the world's longest Trans-Siberian Railway.Its outside looks almost the same as Moscow's Yaroslavsky Station.This old tsarist-style() building had its outside fixed in 1994 and inside renewed in 1996.Nearby are the city's birthplace square and the restored childhood home of Oscar-winning actor Yul Brynner. Los Angeles'Union Station,with a classic California-inspired design,opened in 1939 as the largest rail passenger terminal in the American West.Serving three rail lines,it combines classic and decorative styles,with striking painted wooden ceilings and marble floors in its hall. Now part of the subway system after an expansion in 2016,it also hosts film shoots,weddings, and concerts. 21.What makes Toronto's Union Station a "magnificent Beaux-Arts landmark"? A.Its location in the downtown area. B.Its architectural design and artistic details. C.Its status as Canada's busiest transit center. D.The royal celebration when it opened in 1927. 22.Which station is known for its mixed architectural styles? A.Toronto's Union Station. B.Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus.

It was then that I became aware of how deeply we've fallen into the trap of quantification ()We measure everything:steps,calories,likes.Consider how we approach dining.Do we truly enjoy the flavors and the atmosphere?Or do we immediately take a photo for Instagram, checking how many likes it obtains,as if popularity could justify the experience?The simple pleasure of a meal has been reduced to restaurant ratings and social media engagement. One evening,as I put on my running shoes,I hesitated.My smartwatch would track my pace,my heart rate,and the distance.But what if I ran just to feel the wind against my skin? What if I moved for the pleasure of movement?So I left the device behind.For the first time in years,I ran unburdened by numbers.There was just my breath and the pounding of my feet on the pavement.It was liberating in a way I hadn't anticipated. That experience has made me realize that quantification offers the comforting illusion() that we can manage it when we're afraid to face the unpredictable nature of life.Numbers can provide a false sense of security in a chaotic existence.We assume if we can track life,we can master it.But happiness,love and wonder can't be quantified.In our obsession (with measurement,we risk reducing our lives to data points,forgetting what makes them rich. Now,I resist reaching for the ruler.Life is not about keeping score but about being present wholeheartedly,without the constant need to prove our worth through numbers.The things that matter most can only be lived. 24.Why did the author mention dining experiences in paragraph 2? A.To criticize modern people's dining habits. B.To argue against the use of restaurant ratings. C.To show how quantification affects daily activitics. D.To explain how technology enhances dining experiences. 25.What did the author discover after running without his smartwatch? A.He needed better running shoes. B.He felt an unexpected sense of freedom. C.He achieved better running performance. D.He missed the motivation provided by numbers. 26.What makes people obsessed with quantification according to the author? A.The resistance to changes. B.The pursuit of true happiness. C.The pressure of social recognition. D.The desire for control over uncertainties. 27.What is the best title for the text? A.Stop measuring and start living B.Technology reshapes our lives 英试卷，第4负共10爽 C.Capture life's beauty with cameras D.Precise measurement is vital for happiness C Many species worldwide are threatened with extinction,and the Hainan gibbon(r诲南臂猿) is one of them.Once widely found in the rain forests of Hainan Island,China,the Hainan gibbon has been pushed to the edge of extinction due to the habitat loss and illegal hunting.Today,only 42 individuals remain,all living in a protected area of just 6 square miles.However,there have been unconfirmed sightings in other areas,and finding any remaining gibbons is a conservation priority.Due to the vast search area and the species'rarity,traditional methods are inefficient in tracking these animals. “It is like playing Whack-a-Mole(打地鼠)in the dark.You need to hit the mole accurately at the right time and place,"says lead author Jue Wang."If you don't manage the right spot at the right time,the species may die out before you even know it was there.""There is a huge area to search,but we don't have a lot of money,so every dollar must be used wisely,"says Xueze Song,a co-author from the University of Alabama. To address the challenge of limited conservation resources,researchers at Queen's University developed an optimization model(优化模型)to make optimal conservation decisions under incomplete information.The model updates the existence probability and extinction risk assessment of the species in real time based on the data collected from ongoing surveys and then dynamically adjusts search and protection strategies.Through this approach,it helps focus limited resources on the most crucial work,avoiding inefficiencies and wasted efforts caused by traditional methods. Using the advanced mathematical model,the research team found that areas in which gibbons have never been recorded before may actually be the best places to look,which runs counter to assumptions of traditional search methods-species are likely to inhabit the areas where they have been previously observed. "This approach has great benefits to wildlife agencies,"says Krysten Schuler,director of the Comell Wildlife Health Lab."It might change how we collect data on wildlife."Schuler and Jue Wang are now working together to bring this approach into use in New York State. 28.What can we know about Hainan gibbons? A.Their population is rising annually. B.They are beneficial to the rainforest. C.They are easy to spot outside the protected area. D.Their known population may be underestimated 29.What does the author mainly illustrate by mentioning "playing Whack-a-Mole in the dark"in paragraph2？ A.Tracking Hainan gibbons requires precise timing and location B.Traditional search methods are like blind attempts C.Hainan gibbons are as hard to catch as moles. D.Conservation workers lack the skills to track rare species. 英语试卷，第5贞共10项 30.What is the main function of the optimization model? A.To track Hainan gibbons'daily habits in real time. B.To find the cause of Hainan gibbons'extinction. C.To predict the exact number of Hainan gibbons in the wild. D.To make smart conservation decisions despite limited information. 31.What does the underlined phrase"runs counter to"mean in paragraph 4? A.goes against.B.clears up. C.supports. D.justifies. ◇ Starting in early March,dozens of large,modern white machines began moving through the farmland in the Netherlands.These machines are Al-enabled agricultural robots tasked with spotting special tulip bulbs(郁金香球茎)to ensure a healthy tulip season.Such a robot is one of many new autonomous tools making their way onto farms worldwide. The robot,designed by a company called H2L Robotics,is officially called "Selector180". It uses GPS coordinates (to autonomously drive through tulip fields and uses cameras to take thousands of photos.An Al model then analyzes the photos and looks for the potentially diseased bulbs,which are often identifiable by distinctive red lines on the bulb's leaves.The robot then picks them out and separates them from the healthy ones to prevent the disease from spreading. H2L Robotics Managing Director Erik de Jong said their Al models were trained using the knowledge of specialized tulip farmers,known as"sickness spotters",who previously performed the laborious inspections by hand.H2L Robotics showed the farmers a number of images,and they then pointed out bulbs with signs of the virus.In this way,farmers helped train the Selector180's model.As more farmers participated,the Selector180's accuracy improved. Machines like Selector180 will become increasingly important.Erik de Jong noted that these human spotters are typically older individuals who have been spotting sick tulips for decades,and their population is decreasing,posing a real problem. Farmers globally have been taking advantage of modem techniques to improve harvests with lower costs.In addition to autonomous robots,farmers are using drones ()satellite imagery,and remote sensors to detect diseases or chemicals.Erik de Jong suggests systems like the Selector180 could detect sickness in other crops,like potatoes or onions. However,robots are not a universal solution for all farmers,at least not yet.Autonomous technology and Al require strong wireless Internet and large databases,which may not be available in some developing countries.Some fruits and vegetables can be easily damaged by machine harvesting.Moreover,it may take time and data to determine if the earlier cost of automation is profitable for farmers. 32.How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A.By explaining a technical term. B.By describing a scene on a farm C.By introducing a natural phenomenon.D.By predicting future agricultural trends 33.What is the main function of the Selector180? 英语试卷，第6项共10页 A.To record the growth cycle of tulips. B.To water crops using GPS technology. C.To take photos of healthy tulip leaves. D.To detect and remove sick tulip bulbs. 34.What can be inferred about the AI model's accuracy? A.It varies greatly based on tulip species.B.It relies on human spotters'sharp sight. C.It benefits from the"wisdom of crowds".D.It functions by checking leaf chemicals. 35.What's the author's attitude towards the wide application of robots in agriculture? A.Objective. B.Appreciative. C.Supportive. D.Dismissive. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 The habits we form during our teenage years often determine the course of our future. Many successful people built key habits during their youth that set them on a path to success.In contrast,bad habits formed during this critical period may quietly erode()our potential for growth. 36 Getting lost in social media.Many teenagers fall into the trap of comparison due to overusing social media.They constantly compare themselves to those seemingly perfect online persons.37 It's important to remember that everyone's journey is different.You should recognize and value your own progress and achievements. 38 Teenagers often feel a strong need to be accepted by their friends.This can lead to an unhealthy focus on appearances.They may try to look "cool"at the expense of personal growth.However,most people are too busy with their own lives to notice yours. Instead of striving()to impress others,focus on improving yourself. Procrastinating (and abandoning goals.Procrastination can easily become a habit. 39 One common reason why teens let go of their goals is the desire for instant approval from others.But pursuing short-term approval often comes at the cost of long-term success.Learn to enjoy the journey of working toward your goals-it's the process,not just the outcome,that shapes your character. If you're serious about breaking bad habits and building better ones,consider reading Atomic Habits by James Clear or The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg.40The world offers countiess opportunities.and you have hidden potential within you.Don't let bad habits stand in the way of the extraordinary future you're capable of achieving. A.Refusing to accept responsibilities. B.Caring too much about appearances. C.It steals your valuable time and weakens your resolve. D.Most apps are designed to keep you coming back for more. E.In fact,social media often presents a polished version of reality.

Aristotle was a Greck philosopher in the 4th century BC-about 100 years after Confucius. Although both philosophies have been described60 systems of virtue ethics,there are significant differences between the two. Confucius'writings frequently mention the idea of Li,which highlights the strict observance of rituals ()However,it isn't just about proper actions but also 61 (involve)the proper inner states. Meanwhile,Aristotle highlights the importance of hexis,often62(translate)as "habit".Being virtuous is not 63 one-time thing for Aristotle;it's a state of character.A person must not only do the right thing when required but also have the right motivations and feelings about it.One should aim for,say,courage and be wise enough to be64 (courage)at the right time.

Then Ms.Hale hung a notice:"Art Club starts Friday-we're painting a cafeteria mural )!"My stomach flipped.A club meant working with people,explaining my art,sharing my favorite watercolors.What if they thought my work was boring?What if I messed up the mural? I stared at the paper until the bell rang.then hurried out,determined to skip it. 英话试卷，第9贞共10页 Friday came,and I wandered by the cafeteria door,pretending to check my phone.Through the window,I saw a girl sitting alone,twisting a paintbrush.She glanced at the other kids by the mural wall,then looked away,scared to join.I knew that feeling too. Taking a deep breath,I pushed open the door and walked directly in.The girl jumped, dropping her brush.I mumbled a quiet“Sorry”and picked it up for her.“P'mMia,”she said softly."You're here for the mural too?"I nodded,throat tight.She moved her bag to make space for me,eyes drifting to the sketchbook under my arm."Can I...see your drawings?" I hesitated,then slid the sketchbook across the table.Her fingers brushed the page gently when she saw the oak tree-its branches detailed,leaves shaded in soft greens."This is nice," she said.Then she showed me her notebook filled with tiny,colorful ladybugs.I looked at the ladybugs,then at my oak tree,and said,"They'd fit...on the trunk."Mia's eyes lit up.She grabbed a pencil and drew a ladybug next to the oak's roots."See?Perfect." We didn't talk much after that,just passed paints back and forth as we refined the sketch. By the end of the club hour,our page had all kinds of ladybugs crawling up the oak's branches. Mia glanced at the clock,then back at me."Want to meet here early tomorrow?"she asked.I nodded-my chest light for the first time in weeks. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para.1:The next day,we claimed a corner of the mural wall. 沈阳升 直通 Para.2:The mural was finished a week later,and the whole school gathered for it. 英语试裕，第10页共10贞听下面五段对话或独白。每段对话或独白后有几个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听每段对话或独白前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟。听完后各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话或独白读两遍，听下面一段材料，回答第六、七题。Hey, Randy, i'm a little late coming home from work.

You might ask why I want to build my own house rather than by one. Many who build house say it's to pass IT on to future generations, but my kids would never live outside the city. The truth is, gaining the ability to finish such a complex project is its own reward. Before you even begin planning, you have to become an expert in local building rules. But once you start construction, the first thing you need to learn is how to measure would correctly. You can't do any of this without basic mathematics, but I already know this because i'm interested in computer science. Once plans were drawn, I had to dig the foundation and cut the wood. This was truly great exercise and added fit of the whole project. Then came the complicated part of putting IT all together. IT took me two years to have a complete outside I could live in. I know that doing something like this is not for everyone. IT takes significant effort, years of hard work and focus to keep going even when you are frustrated. But like many things in life, the hardest path is the most worthwhile. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to build a house in the woods.

But once you start construction, the first thing you need to learn is how to measure would correctly. You can't do any of this without basic mathematics, but I already know this because i'm interested in computer science. Once plans were drawn, I had to dig the foundation and cut the wood. This was truly great exercise and added benefit of the whole project. Then came the complicated part of putting IT all together. IT took me two years to have a complete outside I could live in. I know that doing something like this is not for everyone. IT takes significant effort, years of hard work and focus to keep going even when you are frustrated, but like many things in life, the hardest path is the most worthwhile. 一听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。one, honey. remember your dog disappointment?
