Now, we’ve launched a new major magazine recycling effort to promote sustainability: Magazines beyond what’s currently needed by the programs we serve are sent to a paper factory to be recycled into new magazines. This recycling effort not only keeps tons of materials out of landfills (垃圾填埋场), but it also generates funds to deliver other donated magazines to children who have limited access to reading materials in poverty-stricken areas. Every single magazine and dollar raised by our recycling program brings us closer to our goal of changing so many lives positively.
What to donate
You can donate any magazines, no matter what age or condition.
The magazines that you donate for us to deliver to new readers should be gently read magazines with no cut, torn or untidy covers or pages and no water damage.
Privacy considerations
You can mark out your mailing information with a black permanent marker, or we will do that to protect your privacy. Then we cover the spot with a clean opaque(不透明的) white label for delivery to a new reader.
Delivery
Except for a couple of locations where we have local teams (Madison, Wisconsin, and Columbus, Ohio), we can only receive your magazine and comic book donations if you mail them to us.
Magazine donors cover their own postage costs. Tightly packed U.S. Postal Service flat rate medium boxes are the most cost-effective way to send your magazines. The boxes are available at no cost from your local post office or online from the Postal Service website and can be shipped for about $18 postage. A box of reading materials will serve 25 or more readers.
1. Who will benefit from the campaign?
A. Poor children. B. Magazine publishers.
C. Landfill owners. D. Loyal subscribers.
2. What is a requirement for the donated magazines for new readers?
A. They fall under the same classification.
B. They are illustrated hardcover magazines.
C. They are in relatively good condition.
D. They contain specific mailing information.
3. What are the donors supposed to do according to the text?
A. Contact U.S. Postal Service by phone.
B. Mail the magazines at their own expense.
C. Deliver the magazines to the nearest post office.
D. Pay $25 for each box of magazines to be mailed.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B

When 8-year-old Hugo Deans discovered a handful of green bean-sized objects lying near an ant nest beneath a log in his backyard, he thought they were a type of seed. His father, Andrew Deans, professor of entomology at Penn State, however, knew immediately what they were — oak galls (橡瘿), or plant growths caused by insects. What he didn’t realize right away was that the galls were part of a complicated relationship among ants, wasps (黄蜂) and oak trees, the discovery of which would overturn a century of knowledge about plant-insect interactions.
Looking back, Hugo, now 10, said, “I thought they were seeds, and it really awakened my curiosity because I didn’t know ants collected seeds. I always thought ants would eat small pieces of food and stuff around the house. Then a real sense of wonder set in when my dad told me they were galls, because my dad was completely fascinated. I was surprised that ants would collect galls — why would they do that?”
According to Andrew Deans, who is also the director of Penn State’s Frost Entomological Museum, many plant-insect interactions are well documented. For example, most “cynipid” wasp species have long been known to stimulate oak trees to produce protective galls around their babies to ensure the safety of their growth. Additionally, certain plants — including bloodroot, a wildflower native to North America — produce eatable appendages (附加物) on their seeds to attract ants, which then disperse the seeds by carrying them back to their nests. This latter example is referred to as “myrmecochory”, or seed dispersal by ants.
“In myrmecochory, ants get a little bit of nutrition when they eat the appendages, and the plants get their seeds to enter a new space,” Andrew explained. “It was first documented over 100 years ago and is commonly taught to biology students as an example of a plant-insect interaction.”
4. What’s the significance of little Hugo’s discovery?
A. It revealed an unknown ant species.
B. It reshaped a long-standing concept.
C. It encouraged plant-insect interactions.
D. It helped to protect endangered species.
5. How did Hugo feel when he initially found the oak galls?
A. Amazed. B. Confident.
C. Regretful. D. Uninterested.
6. What does the underlined word “disperse” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Compare. B. Examine.
C. Protect. D. Spread.
7. What does Andrew seem to imply in the last paragraph?
A. The phenomenon is nothing new.
B. It’s hard for ants to find a safe space.
C. Appendages are key to ant species’ survival.
D. Biology students depend on documents for findings.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述男孩雨果发现橡瘿,其昆虫学家父亲由此有新发现,该发现颠覆了百年来人们对植物与昆虫互动关系的认知。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“What he didn’t realize right away was that the galls were part of a complicated relationship among ants, wasps and oak trees, the discovery of which would overturn a century of knowledge about plant-insect interactions. (他起初没有意识到,这些橡瘿是蚂蚁、黄蜂和橡树之间复杂关系的一部分,而这一发现将颠覆一个世纪以来人们对植物与昆虫互动关系的认知。)”可知,雨果的发现的意义在于它重塑了一个长期存在的观念。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Looking back, Hugo, now 10, said, “I thought they were seeds, and it really awakened my curiosity because I didn’t know ants collected seeds. I always thought ants would eat small pieces of food and stuff around the house. Then a real sense of wonder set in when my dad told me they were galls, because my dad was completely fascinated. (现年10岁的雨果回忆说:“我以为它们是种子,这真的激起了我的好奇心,因为我以前不知道蚂蚁还会收集种子。我一直以为蚂蚁只会吃家里的小份食物之类的东西。后来爸爸告诉我这些是橡瘿时,我真的感到很惊奇,因为爸爸也完全被吸引住了。”)”可知,雨果最初发现橡瘿时是感到惊奇的。故选A项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Additionally, certain plants — including bloodroot, a wildflower native to North America — produce eatable appendages on their seeds to attract ants, which then disperse the seeds by carrying them back to their nests. This latter example is referred to as “myrmecochory”, or seed dispersal by ants. (此外,某些植物——包括北美本土野花血根草——会在种子上长出可食用的附属物来吸引蚂蚁,蚂蚁随后会将种子带回巢穴,从而disperse种子。后一种现象被称为“蚁播”,即由蚂蚁传播种子。)”可知,在蚁播中,种子得以进入一个新的空间。也就是说,蚂蚁的这个行为是在传播种子,disperse意为“传播”,与spread意思相近。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““In myrmecochory, ants get a little bit of nutrition when they eat the appendages, and the plants get their seeds to enter a new space,” Andrew explained. “It was first documented over 100 years ago and is commonly taught to biology students as an example of a plant-insect interaction.” (安德鲁解释说:“在蚁播现象中,蚂蚁吃掉植物种子的附属物可以获得少量营养,而植物则能让自己的种子传播到新的地方。这种现象早在100多年前就有记载,并且经常作为植物与昆虫互动的案例,被教授给生物学专业的学生。”)”可知,安德鲁想暗示这种蚁播现象并不是什么新鲜事物。故选A项。
C
How do we really talk fluently with each other? Well, human languages seem to be shaped by a couple of underlying principles that help simplify communication.
The haphazardness (随意性) of the signal is the first principle. This concept, first established by De Saussure, a linguist from Switzerland, relates to how we pair sounds with meanings. For instance, the sound “dog” doesn’t refer to a dog in itself; it doesn’t bark like a dog, nor does it walk like a dog. This word has no intrinsic (固有的) “dogness”, yet it holds its meaning. Why is that? Because every English speaker has learned to make the same connection between the sound “dog” and the animal through repeated memorization and use.
The haphazardness of the signal has been a massive advantage for speech communities because it enables them to communicate concepts immediately without having to explain why a specific sound corresponds to a particular meaning.
The other principle has been that languages create an infinite (无限的) number of expressions from a limited set of elements. In Layman’s words, we possess a limited group of vocabulary that we may mix and match to form unlimited number of larger structures, such as sentences. We generate these unlimited possible combinations by following rules that govern how words are combined. For instance, is there a distinction between “the dog bites the man” and “the man bites the dog”? Aside from one of them being a disastrous daily incidence and the second one being attention-grabbing, the difference is in the basic grammar that guides sense. Each of the words in “the dog bites the man” possesses a specific sense that does not rely on the full phrase. Grammar has been the thing that lets us structure that vocabulary in particular mixtures to remind people of particular meanings and images.
There is a finite number of words; however, grammar offers us an infinite number of ways to combine them.
8. What can we learn about the “haphazardness of the signal”?
A. It ensures the fluency of speech.
B. It makes languages easier to learn.
C. It may result in misunderstanding.
D. It speeds up concept communication.
9. Why does the author quote Layman’s words in paragraph 4?
A. To criticise an out-dated theory. B. To clarify an abstract concept.
C. To introduce a new topic. D. To provide a real-life example.
10. What does the example “the dog bites the man” show?
A. Minimal words can express deep meaning.
B. A less common event can challenge people’s belief.
C. Grammar shapes meaning through the organization of words.
D. Meaning determines the quantity of words used in daily speech.
11. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. The rules governing word formation.
B. The complexity of daily communication.
C. The development of grammatical structure.
D. The principles of language communication.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍人类实现流利交流的两大语言原则:符号的任意性和语言的创造性,阐释其内涵与作用。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The haphazardness of the signal has been a massive advantage for speech communities because it enables them to communicate concepts immediately without having to explain why a specific sound corresponds to a particular meaning.(符号的任意性对语言群体来说是一个巨大优势,因为它能让人们立即交流概念,而不必解释为什么某个特定发音对应某个特定含义)”可知,符号的任意性能够加快概念的传递。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The other principle has been that languages create an infinite number of expressions from a limited set of elements. In Layman’s words, we possess a limited group of vocabulary that we may mix and match to form unlimited number of larger structures, such as sentences.(另一项原则是语言能够通过有限的语言要素创造出无限的表达方式。用通俗易懂的话来说,我们掌握的词汇数量是有限的,但可以通过组合搭配形成无限多的更大语言结构,比如句子)”可知,作者引用通俗的表述是为了阐明“有限要素创造无限表达”这一抽象概念。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“For instance, is there a distinction between “the dog bites the man” and “the man bites the dog”? Aside from one of them being a disastrous daily incidence and the second one being attention-grabbing, the difference is in the basic grammar that guides sense.(例如,“狗咬人”和“人咬狗”之间有区别吗?除了前者是日常中可能发生的糟糕事、后者很吸引眼球之外,两者的差异在于决定语义的基础语法)”以及“Grammar has been the thing that lets us structure that vocabulary in particular mixtures to remind people of particular meanings and images.(语法让我们把词汇以特定的方式组合起来,以此传递特定的含义和画面)”可知,这个例子是为了说明语法通过组织词汇来构建语义。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“How do we really talk fluently with each other? Well, human languages seem to be shaped by a couple of underlying principles that help simplify communication.(我们究竟如何实现流利的交谈?人类语言似乎是由几项潜在原则塑造而成的,这些原则有助于简化交流)”可知,文章主要介绍了语言交流的原则。故选D项。

Psychologists have studied the interaction between human and technology for decades. A new line of research now seeks to understand how people, including children, interact with chatbots and other virtual agents. “Little kids learn from characters, and our tools of education already rely on the parasocial (准社会) relationships that they form,” said David Bickham, PhD, a health communication researcher based at Boston Children’s Hospital. “How are kids forming a relationship with these AI tools, what does that look like, and how might that impact the ability of AI to teach?”
In a series of studies, Randi Williams, a program manager at the Algorithmic Justice League, observed interactions between young children and robots. Williams and her colleagues found that children associated a more human-sounding and expressive voice in agents with higher friendliness and intelligence.
Among teenagers, the use of generative AI is already widespread. For 70 percent who reported using at least one such tool in a 2024 Common Sense Media survey of 1,045 teenagers aged 13 to 18, after-school assignments were the most common reason. About half of those who used generative AI for schoolwork did so with permission from a teacher. A similar number checked the validity of generative AI outputs using outside sources, suggesting that many students are aware of the fallibility (出错性) of such tools.
“Teens have quite a complicated and nuanced (微妙的) view of AI,” said Beck Tench, an information scientist at the Center for Digital Thriving. “They report that they feel conflicted, and are having just as many excitements and concerns as we do as adults, including worries about misinformation, awareness that it will change their work prospects, and enthusiasm about its potential to advance science, creativity, and humanity.”
There are many questions that remain, including how to study and promote the children-AI relationships that safeguard children’s security and personal data — issues that researchers need to address. The Center for Digital Thriving offers guidelines for talking to the youth about generative AI, including asking children whether they have ever heard about AI getting something wrong.
12. What did Randi Williams find out in their research?
A. Children preferred humanlike robots.
B. Children thought robots wiser than themselves.
C. Children were doubtful about what the robots presented.
D. Children interacting with robots tended to be more friendly.
13. In which field does generative AI help teenagers most nowadays?
A. Creative projects. B. Science learning.
C. Homework. D. Entertainment.
14. What is teenagers’ general attitude toward AI according to Beck Tench?
A. Appreciative. B. Unclear.
C. Dismissive. D. Mixed.
15. What is a concern regarding children’s relationships with AI?
A It will make them less social.
B. It might raise safety and privacy issues.
C. It could affect their academic performance.
D. It may limit their ability to handle challenges.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于儿童和青少年与人工智能互动的相关研究。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Williams and her colleagues found that children associated a more human-sounding and expressive voice in agents with higher friendliness and intelligence. (威廉姆斯和她同事发现,孩子们认为代理中更像人类的声音和富有表现力的声音具有更高的友好性和智慧)”可知,研究发现儿童会将声音更拟人、更富有表现力的智能体视为更友好、更聪明的对象,这说明儿童更偏爱类人化的机器人。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Among teenagers, the use of generative AI is already widespread. For 70 percent who reported using at least one such tool in a 2024 Common Sense Media survey of 1,045 teenagers aged 13 to 18, after-school assignments were the most common reason. (在青少年中,生成式人工智能的使用已经很普遍。在2024年常识媒体对1045名13至18岁青少年的调查中,70%的受访者表示使用过至少一种此类工具,课后作业是最常见的原因)”可知,在使用生成式人工智能的青少年中,最常见的用途是完成课后作业,因此人工智能在家庭作业领域对青少年的帮助最大。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““Teens have quite a complicated and nuanced (微妙的) view of AI,” said Beck Tench, an information scientist at the Center for Digital Thriving. “They report that they feel conflicted, and are having just as many excitements and concerns as we do as adults, including worries about misinformation, awareness that it will change their work prospects, and enthusiasm about its potential to advance science, creativity, and humanity.” (数字繁荣中心的信息科学家贝克·坦奇说:“青少年对人工智能有着相当复杂和微妙的看法。”“他们表示自己感到矛盾,和成年人一样既有兴奋也有担忧,包括担心错误信息,意识到它将改变他们的工作前景,以及对其推动科学、创造力和人类发展的潜力充满热情。”)”可知,青少年对人工智能的看法复杂且微妙,他们既感到兴奋又怀有担忧,即态度是复杂的。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“There are many questions that remain, including how to study and promote the children-AI relationships that safeguard children’s security and personal data — issues that researchers need to address. (仍有许多问题有待解决,包括如何研究和促进保护儿童安全和个人数据的儿童与人工智能的关系——这是研究人员需要解决的问题)”可知,关于儿童与人工智能的关系,一个需要关注的问题是如何保障儿童的安全和个人数据,这说明相关关系可能引发安全和隐私方面的问题。故选B项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Empathy (共情), the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, is often described as the foundation of meaningful communication. ____16____ Empathy requires stepping into another’s shoes, recognizing their emotions, and responding in a way that accepts their experience. This difference matters because empathy strengthens connection, while sympathy can sometimes create distance.
A parent who acknowledges a child’s frustration (I see you’re upset because your toy broke) rather than dismiss it (It’s just a toy) helps the child feel heard, enhancing trust. Similarly, in friendships, empathizing with a friend’s anxiety about a test (That sounds really stressful) builds deeper bonds than offering quick solutions (You’ll do fine). ____17____
____18____ Managers who practice empathetic communication are better at motivating teams. For example, instead of simply assigning a tight deadline, a manager might say, “I know this project will require extra hours and I appreciate how hard you’ve been working — let’s discuss how we can support each other to get it done.” ____19____ Colleagues who empathize with one another’s workloads are also more likely to offer help, creating a supportive workplace culture.
Empathy starts with active listening — paying attention to both words and nonverbal cues. It also involves asking open-ended questions (How did that make you feel?) to encourage others to share more, rather than jumping to conclusions. ____20____ In a world often divided by differing opinions, it offers a bridge — reminding us that behind every argument, every frustration, every joy, there is a human experience worth understanding.
A. In professional settings, empathy is of equal importance.
B. This approach reduces dissatisfaction and encourages cooperation.
C. It goes beyond sympathy, which involves feeling sorry for someone.
D. Over time, these habits become second nature, making bonds stronger.
E. By contrast, sympathy encourages people to solve others’ problems directly.
F. These moments of recognition let others know they are not alone in their feelings.
G. Without enough practice, even the strongest empathy skills will gradually disappear.
【答案】16. C 17. F 18. A 19. B 20. D

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍有“钢琴之岛”之称的鼓浪屿,及其音乐厅的历史、特色与承载的音乐文化传承。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:一个多世纪以来,这座岛屿的文化多样性造就了活跃的音乐氛围。根据时间状语for over a century可知,此处强调动作从过去持续到现在,用现在完成时,主语The island’s cultural diversity为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词用has created。故填has created。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这一传统的核心是鼓浪屿音乐厅,这是一个致力于保护和推广古典音乐的迷人场所。此处泛指“一个迷人的场所”,attractive是以元音音素开头的单词,用不定冠词an。故填an。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:音乐厅建于20世纪初,体现了鼓浪屿作为文化交汇点的历史作用,在这里东西方文化和谐交融。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为a cultural crossroads,表地点,在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where。故填where。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:音乐厅典雅的建筑风格和音乐氛围使其成为热门地点,让音乐爱好者得以欣赏现场音乐会。此处为固定搭配allow sb. to do sth.,意为“允许某人做某事”,用动词不定式to appreciate作宾补。故填to appreciate。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意:鼓浪屿音乐厅最具吸引力的特色之一是其每周举办免费的钢琴小提琴音乐会。此处修饰名词concerts,用week的形容词形式weekly,意为“每周的”。故填weekly。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:游客可以免费欣赏由才华横溢的本地及来访音乐家演奏的各类古典曲目。此处修饰名词musicians,用visit现在分词转化的形容词形式visiting,意为“来访的”。故填visiting。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这座音乐厅有着历史悠久的建筑格局,为观众营造出沉浸式的环境,让他们能与音乐深度共鸣。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,The music hall与supply为被动关系,用过去分词supplied。故填supplied。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:演出曲目通常涵盖肖邦、贝多芬、巴赫等作曲家的古典杰作,同时也包含彰显本土文化底蕴的中国作品。此处composition为可数名词,结合语境可知不止一首,用复数形式compositions,作宾语。故填compositions。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:游客们常说,在鼓浪屿音乐厅听音乐会是一段美妙而难忘的体验。此处为固定搭配describe sth. as sth.,意为“把某物描述为某物”,用介词as。故填as。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:优美的音乐、舒适的环境与厚重的历史氛围三者融合,给人留下了深刻而持久的印象。此处位于定冠词The之后,用integrate的名词形式integration,为不可数名词,作主语。故填integration。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The sun shone through the classroom windows, making golden spots on the wooden desks. It was a normal Wednesday morning, and Mrs. Coco’s Chinese class was going on as usual. The students sat straight with their textbooks in hand, reading a poem together. Their voices went up and down like small waves, mixing with the sound of pages being turned and the singing of birds outside.
Suddenly, a quick movement caught Peter’s eye. A little bird — a sparrow with messy feathers and a scared look — had flown in through the open door of the hallway and was now stuck inside the classroom. The glass windows were closed tight to keep out the autumn cold. The bird’s wings hit the windows with loud noise desperately, and its tiny claws (爪子) left light marks on the glass.
The reading stopped for a moment. Peter, who was known for being naughty (顽皮的), stopped in the middle of a sentence, and his textbook slipped from his hand. The bird’s fear spread to everyone: it flew quickly from one window to another, hitting the“unseen wall”again and again. Some girls covered their mouths, surprised; others bent forward, more curious than afraid of disturbing the class.
Mrs. Coco, though, stayed focused on the lesson. Her voice kept leading the reading, steady and firm. But her sharp eyes had already noticed the noise. She paused for a second, looking around the room, and then told the students to go on.
Peter’s heart beat fast. He watched the bird’s useless struggle — its wings clearly getting tired. The classroom felt very quiet now. The only sounds were the bird’s scared flying and the faraway noise of cars passing by. He looked at Mrs. Coco, whose face stayed calm, and then at his classmates, who were all looking at the trapped little bird.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As the bird stopped, Peter suddenly left his seat.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Contrary to what the students assumed, Mrs. Coco praised Peter.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
As the bird stopped, Peter suddenly left his seat. The chair scraped loudly against the floor, making everyone turn their attention to him. Without a word, he walked quickly to the window. His fingers fumbled a little, but he managed to push the window open. A fresh breeze rushed in. The bird, as if sensing hope, flew weakly toward the open space. With one last effort, it flew out, disappearing into the sky. The classroom stayed silent for a second before someone whispered, “It’s free” Peter stood by the window, looking relieved. Turning back, he saw Mrs. Coco standing behind him, her eyes fixed on him.
Contrary to what the students assumed, Mrs. Coco praised Peter. She walked to the front of the class and said, “Peter’s action shows us what kindness and courage really mean. A true student doesn’t only master knowledge from books, but also cares for every living thing around us.” The classmates burst into applause, and Peter’s face turned red with embarrassment and joy. From that day on, the naughty boy became more responsible, and the classroom always felt warmer — for everyone had learned a lesson more precious than any poem they’d ever read.

Now, we’ve launched a new major magazine recycling effort to promote sustainability: Magazines beyond what’s currently needed by the programs we serve are sent to a paper factory to be recycled into new magazines. This recycling effort not only keeps tons of materials out of landfills (垃圾填埋场), but it also generates funds to deliver other donated magazines to children who have limited access to reading materials in poverty-stricken areas. Every single magazine and dollar raised by our recycling program brings us closer to our goal of changing so many lives positively.
What to donate
You can donate any magazines, no matter what age or condition.
The magazines that you donate for us to deliver to new readers should be gently read magazines with no cut, torn or untidy covers or pages and no water damage.
Privacy considerations
You can mark out your mailing information with a black permanent marker, or we will do that to protect your privacy. Then we cover the spot with a clean opaque(不透明的) white label for delivery to a new reader.
Delivery
Except for a couple of locations where we have local teams (Madison, Wisconsin, and Columbus, Ohio), we can only receive your magazine and comic book donations if you mail them to us.
Magazine donors cover their own postage costs. Tightly packed U.S. Postal Service flat rate medium boxes are the most cost-effective way to send your magazines. The boxes are available at no cost from your local post office or online from the Postal Service website and can be shipped for about $18 postage. A box of reading materials will serve 25 or more readers.
1. Who will benefit from the campaign?
A. Poor children. B. Magazine publishers.
C. Landfill owners. D. Loyal subscribers.
2. What is a requirement for the donated magazines for new readers?
A. They fall under the same classification.
B. They are illustrated hardcover magazines.
C. They are in relatively good condition.
D. They contain specific mailing information.
3. What are the donors supposed to do according to the text?
A. Contact U.S. Postal Service by phone.
B. Mail the magazines at their own expense.
C. Deliver the magazines to the nearest post office.
D. Pay $25 for each box of magazines to be mailed.

When 8-year-old Hugo Deans discovered a handful of green bean-sized objects lying near an ant nest beneath a log in his backyard, he thought they were a type of seed. His father, Andrew Deans, professor of entomology at Penn State, however, knew immediately what they were — oak galls (橡瘿), or plant growths caused by insects. What he didn’t realize right away was that the galls were part of a complicated relationship among ants, wasps (黄蜂) and oak trees, the discovery of which would overturn a century of knowledge about plant-insect interactions.
Looking back, Hugo, now 10, said, “I thought they were seeds, and it really awakened my curiosity because I didn’t know ants collected seeds. I always thought ants would eat small pieces of food and stuff around the house. Then a real sense of wonder set in when my dad told me they were galls, because my dad was completely fascinated. I was surprised that ants would collect galls — why would they do that?”
According to Andrew Deans, who is also the director of Penn State’s Frost Entomological Museum, many plant-insect interactions are well documented. For example, most “cynipid” wasp species have long been known to stimulate oak trees to produce protective galls around their babies to ensure the safety of their growth. Additionally, certain plants — including bloodroot, a wildflower native to North America — produce eatable appendages (附加物) on their seeds to attract ants, which then disperse the seeds by carrying them back to their nests. This latter example is referred to as “myrmecochory”, or seed dispersal by ants.
“In myrmecochory, ants get a little bit of nutrition when they eat the appendages, and the plants get their seeds to enter a new space,” Andrew explained. “It was first documented over 100 years ago and is commonly taught to biology students as an example of a plant-insect interaction.”
4. What’s the significance of little Hugo’s discovery?
A. It revealed an unknown ant species.
B. It reshaped a long-standing concept.
C. It encouraged plant-insect interactions.
D. It helped to protect endangered species.
5. How did Hugo feel when he initially found the oak galls?
A. Amazed. B. Confident.
C. Regretful. D. Uninterested.
6. What does the underlined word “disperse” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Compare. B. Examine.
C. Protect. D. Spread.
7. What does Andrew seem to imply in the last paragraph?
A. The phenomenon is nothing new.
B. It’s hard for ants to find a safe space.
C. Appendages are key to ant species’ survival.
D. Biology students depend on documents for findings.
C
How do we really talk fluently with each other? Well, human languages seem to be shaped by a couple of underlying principles that help simplify communication.
The haphazardness (随意性) of the signal is the first principle. This concept, first established by De Saussure, a linguist from Switzerland, relates to how we pair sounds with meanings. For instance, the sound “dog” doesn’t refer to a dog in itself; it doesn’t bark like a dog, nor does it walk like a dog. This word has no intrinsic (固有的) “dogness”, yet it holds its meaning. Why is that? Because every English speaker has learned to make the same connection between the sound “dog” and the animal through repeated memorization and use.
The haphazardness of the signal has been a massive advantage for speech communities because it enables them to communicate concepts immediately without having to explain why a specific sound corresponds to a particular meaning.
The other principle has been that languages create an infinite (无限的) number of expressions from a limited set of elements. In Layman’s words, we possess a limited group of vocabulary that we may mix and match to form unlimited number of larger structures, such as sentences. We generate these unlimited possible combinations by following rules that govern how words are combined. For instance, is there a distinction between “the dog bites the man” and “the man bites the dog”? Aside from one of them being a disastrous daily incidence and the second one being attention-grabbing, the difference is in the basic grammar that guides sense. Each of the words in “the dog bites the man” possesses a specific sense that does not rely on the full phrase. Grammar has been the thing that lets us structure that vocabulary in particular mixtures to remind people of particular meanings and images.
There is a finite number of words; however, grammar offers us an infinite number of ways to combine them.
8. What can we learn about the “haphazardness of the signal”?
A. It ensures the fluency of speech.
B. It makes languages easier to learn.
C. It may result in misunderstanding.
D. It speeds up concept communication.
9. Why does the author quote Layman’s words in paragraph 4?
A. To criticise an out-dated theory. B. To clarify an abstract concept.

Psychologists have studied the interaction between human and technology for decades. A new line of research now seeks to understand how people, including children, interact with chatbots and other virtual agents. “Little kids learn from characters, and our tools of education already rely on the parasocial (准社会) relationships that they form,” said David Bickham, PhD, a health communication researcher based at Boston Children’s Hospital. “How are kids forming a relationship with these AI tools, what does that look like, and how might that impact the ability of AI to teach?”
In a series of studies, Randi Williams, a program manager at the Algorithmic Justice League, observed interactions between young children and robots. Williams and her colleagues found that children associated a more human-sounding and expressive voice in agents with higher friendliness and intelligence.
Among teenagers, the use of generative AI is already widespread. For 70 percent who reported using at least one such tool in a 2024 Common Sense Media survey of 1,045 teenagers aged 13 to 18, after-school assignments were the most common reason. About half of those who used generative AI for schoolwork did so with permission from a teacher. A similar number checked the validity of generative AI outputs using outside sources, suggesting that many students are aware of the fallibility (出错性) of such tools.
“Teens have quite a complicated and nuanced (微妙) view of AI,” said Beck Tench, an information scientist at the Center for Digital Thriving. “They report that they feel conflicted, and are having just as many excitements and concerns as we do as adults, including worries about misinformation, awareness that it will change their work prospects, and enthusiasm about its potential to advance science, creativity, and humanity.”
There are many questions that remain, including how to study and promote the children-AI relationships that safeguard children’s security and personal data — issues that researchers need to address. The Center for Digital Thriving offers guidelines for talking to the youth about generative AI, including asking children whether they have ever heard about AI getting something wrong.
12. What did Randi Williams find out in their research?
A. Children preferred humanlike robots.
B. Children thought robots wiser than themselves.
C. Children were doubtful about what the robots presented.
D. Children interacting with robots tended to be more friendly.
13. In which field does generative AI help teenagers most nowadays?
A. Creative projects. B. Science learning.
C. Homework. D. Entertainment.
14. What is teenagers’ general attitude toward AI according to Beck Tench?
A. Appreciative. B. Unclear.
C. Dismissive. D. Mixed.
15. What is a concern regarding children’s relationships with AI?
A. It will make them less social.
B. It might raise safety and privacy issues.
C. It could affect their academic performance.
D. It may limit their ability to handle challenges.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Empathy (共情), the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, is often described as the foundation of meaningful communication. ____16____ Empathy requires stepping into another’s shoes, recognizing their emotions, and responding in a way that accepts their experience. This difference matters because empathy strengthens connection, while sympathy can sometimes create distance.
A parent who acknowledges a child’s frustration (I see you’re upset because your toy broke) rather than dismiss it (It’s just a toy) helps the child feel heard, enhancing trust. Similarly, in friendships, empathizing with a friend’s anxiety about a test (That sounds really stressful) builds deeper bonds than offering quick solutions (You’ll do fine). ____17____
____18____ Managers who practice empathetic communication are better at motivating teams. For example, instead of simply assigning a tight deadline, a manager might say, “I know this project will require extra hours and I appreciate how hard you’ve been working — let’s discuss how we can support each other to get it done.” ____19____ Colleagues who empathize with one another’s workloads are also more likely to offer help, creating a supportive workplace culture.
Empathy starts with active listening — paying attention to both words and nonverbal cues. It also involves asking open-ended questions (How did that make you feel?) to encourage others to share more, rather than jumping to conclusions. ____20____ In a world often divided by differing opinions, it offers a bridge — reminding us that behind every argument, every frustration, every joy, there is a human experience worth understanding.
A. In professional settings, empathy is of equal importance.
B. This approach reduces dissatisfaction and encourages cooperation.
C. It goes beyond sympathy, which involves feeling sorry for someone.
D. Over time, these habits become second nature, making bonds stronger.
E. By contrast, sympathy encourages people to solve others’ problems directly.
F. These moments of recognition let others know they are not alone in their feelings.
G. Without enough practice, even the strongest empathy skills will gradually disappear.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The sun shone through the classroom windows, making golden spots on the wooden desks. It was a normal Wednesday morning, and Mrs. Coco’s Chinese class was going on as usual. The students sat straight with their textbooks in hand, reading a poem together. Their voices went up and down like small waves, mixing with the sound of pages being turned and the singing of birds outside.
Suddenly, a quick movement caught Peter’s eye. A little bird — a sparrow with messy feathers and a scared look — had flown in through the open door of the hallway and was now stuck inside the classroom. The glass windows were closed tight to keep out the autumn cold. The bird’s wings hit the windows with loud noise desperately, and its tiny claws (爪子) left light marks on the glass.
The reading stopped for a moment. Peter, who was known for being naughty (顽皮的), stopped in the middle of a sentence, and his textbook slipped from his hand. The bird’s fear spread to everyone: it flew quickly from one window to another, hitting the“unseen wall”again and again. Some girls covered their mouths, surprised; others bent forward, more curious than afraid of disturbing the class.
Mrs. Coco, though, stayed focused on the lesson. Her voice kept leading the reading, steady and firm. But her sharp eyes had already noticed the noise. She paused for a second, looking around the room, and then told the students to go on.
Peter’s heart beat fast. He watched the bird’s useless struggle — its wings clearly getting tired. The classroom felt very quiet now. The only sounds were the bird’s scared flying and the faraway noise of cars passing by. He looked at Mrs. Coco, whose face stayed calm, and then at his classmates, who were all looking at the trapped little bird.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As the bird stopped, Peter suddenly left his seat.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Contrary to what the students assumed, Mrs. Coco praised Peter.
