On Tuesday, Sam’s father lost his job. Then on Wednesday, Sam’s mother announced that the rent (房租) on their apartment was going up. Now it was Friday, and Sam received an invitation from Rosa to her birthday party. Sam knew Rosa from Adventure Club. He knew he would enjoy Rosa’s party, but he didn’t want to go without a gift. What could he possibly buy her with the little bit of money he had? Sam knew he couldn’t ask Mom or Dad for any money—not this week! Later that afternoon, Sam noticed a second-hand book sale going on. He went there and had a quick look. Two books caught his eye. The first was a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods, and the second was a book about woman explorers. “Rosa would like these,” Sam thought, “but would it be tacky (蹩脚的) to give her second-hand books for her birthday?” Sam decided that a second-hand gift was better than no gift at all. Besides, Rosa supported recycling in that way. So, she would probably like it. With his last dollar, Sam bought the books and went home. He felt a little better. The party was on Saturday. Rosa opened all her gifts and thanked everyone for the nice things they had given her. She paused when she opened Sam’s gift, which made him wonder if she liked the books, but nothing was said. When Sam got home, he opened his e-mail and found this note from Rosa.Dear Sam, Of all the gifts I received today, yours was the nicest. How did you know I would love a book about woman explorers and a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods? Now I have something to read that will inspire me to follow my dream of becoming an adventurer, and I have a book that I can share with my grandmother. She is getting older and wants to be sure her granddaughter knows how to make the wonderful foods of Puerto Rico. Thank you so much. Love, Rosa The week turned out to be a good one after all. 29．Sam bought second-hand books as gifts for Rosa because ________.

From social relationships to work challenges, Chinese people are turning to DeepSeek to solve different personal problems. They describe sharing their thoughts and receiving helpful advice from the popular chatbot. AI is changing the way people find mental (心理的) health support. But can AI truly take the place of a human doctor? Around the world, 45 percent of people who needed mental treatment (治疗) in 2024 did not receive it, with difficulties including cost and shortage of doctors, according to Daniel Lowd, a professor at the University of Oregon. He believes AI could help solve the short of mental health services. “If people can find some support and opinions by talking to a chatbot, then I think that’s wonderful,” said Lowd. Li Yong, a doctor at the Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people’s needs for mental support in some ways. However, he points out that AI cannot completely take the place of real doctors because it doesn’t have a human side which is important for therapy. Human doctors develop a deeper understanding of people’s feelings and needs through communication, which allows them to offer more practical treatment plans. The use of AI in mental health also raises worries over its safety. “AI chatbots will act as doctors if asked, without any of the training or responsibility of human doctors,” said Richard Lachman, a professor in Canada. Scientists believe the key to make AI therapy safe is proper government regulation (监管). Wysa, for example, is a mental health app that offers conversations with an AI chatbot. In 2022, it worked with the UK’s National Health Service, following a list of strict standards (标准). As AI becomes more a part of our lives, understanding its effects on human mental health means finding a balance between what’s helpful and what’s dangerous. 32．What does Daniel Lowd think of AI mental treatment? A．Harmful. B．Colorful. C．Doubtful. D．Useful. 33．Why does Li Yong believe AI can’t fully take the place of human doctors? A．AI is too expensive to get. B．AI is unable to give any advice. C．AI is unable to understand feelings. D．AI knows little about mental health. 34．What can we know about AI mental treatment according to the passage? A．It needs government rules to make it safe. B．Wysa can give its patients strict standards. C．It can be trained as a human doctor. D．People can use it without any worries. 35．What is the main idea of the article? A．The use of AI chatbots in our daily life. B．AI’s role in mental health care. C．The future of education with AI. D．The advantages of AI for mental support. 【答案】32．D 33．C 34．A 35．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了人工智能在心理健康护理中的作用、优势、局限性及安全监管需求。 32．细节理解题。根据文中“He believes AI could help solve the short of mental health services. ‘If people can find some support and opinions by talking to a chatbot, then I think that’s wonderful,’ said Lowd.”可知，他认为AI能帮助解决心理健康服务短缺的问题，是很棒的，有用的。故选D。 33．细节理解题。根据文中“However, he points out that AI cannot completely take the place of real doctors because it doesn’t have human side which is important for therapy. Human doctors develop a deeper understanding of people’s feelings and needs through communication”可知，AI 缺少治疗中重要的“人性部分”，而人类医生能深入理解人的情感和需求。 故选C。 34．细节理解题。根据文中“Scientists believe the key to make AI therapy safe is proper government regulation”可知，让AI治疗安全的关键是恰当的政府监管。故选A。 35．主旨大意题。全文围绕AI在心理健康领域的应用展开，既讲了它能弥补服务短缺、提供支持的优势，也讲了它无法取代人类医生、存在安全隐患的问题。故选B。 D The Jiangsu City Football League, popularly known as Su Chao, recently finished its longest-ever season from spring to autumn. While the high-level skills and passion (热情) on the field were a major draw, the league’s true success came from its deep connection with the people. Unlike national leagues, Su Chao is based on city teams, which turns people’s local pride into strong support for the teams. The record-breaking crowd of over 61,000 fans for the Nanjing vs. Lianyungang match is a perfect example. They didn’t only cheer for great goals; they celebrated the never-give-up spirit of amateur (业余的) players who, like Liu Ye, never give up until the end. This local pride made the games more exciting. Fans cheered louder and felt more connected to their team, creating a wonderful atmosphere (氛围) in every match. Su Chao kept ticket prices low to make games affordable for everyone. Cities also provided excellent services for fans, including extra free public transportation, clean facilities (设施), and even delicious food or wonderful local performances. Moreover, Su Chao played a big and meaningful social role beyond entertainment (远超娱乐). The long-lasting 176-day season provided a long-lasting shared activity for communities. Families and friends gathered to watch the games, creating new local traditions and shared memories. Also, the league served as a powerful encouragement for young people, showing through action that key values like teamwork, never giving up, and willingness are important both on and off the field. In this way, football became a bridge, connecting people from different backgrounds, jobs, and ages through a common passion. Su Chao’s huge popularity clearly proves that the real power of football lies not only in the final score but in its special ability to build stronger communities and encourage people. It was more than a competition; it was a widespread festival that celebrated local culture, shared values, and the simple joy of the sport. 36．The word “draw” in the first paragraph most probably means ________. A．a picture or photo B．something that attracts people C．a tie in a game D．a prize for those fans 37．What is the main reason for Su Chao’s strong support from fans according to the passage? A．The league gathered many good high-level players. B．The games were free to watch for everyone. C．It turned people’s local pride into support for city teams. D．Every match was broadcast (播出) on national television. 38．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．The league was too long and should be shorter next year. B．Professional (职业的) leagues are more successful than amateur ones. C．The final match was the most exciting in the league’s history. D．Football’s power is about building community and encouragement. 39．What is the main purpose of the article? A．To explain the basic rules of football. B．To report on one exciting match in the Su Chao league. C．To introduce the players on the Nanjing FC team.

In a 2024 survey by the UK charity The Reading Agency, almost one in four people aged 16~24 in the country said they didn’t read regularly. What does it mean? What kind of structure does a good reader’s brain actually have? My new study published in the journal Neuroimage studied open-source data from more than 1,000 people. The result shows differences in two regions of the brain’s left temporal lobe (大脑左颞叶), which sits behind the left ear. One is the lobe’s front part known as the temporal pole (颞极). It helps connect and sort different kinds of information. For example, to understand a word like “leg”, this brain region links how legs look, feel, and move. In people who read well, the left temporal pole is thinner compared to the right. The other is the Heschl’s gyrus (海氏回) on the lobe’s upper part. The fold hosts the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) that processes sounds. That the auditory cortex would be related to reading might seem less obvious (明显的): isn’t reading mainly a visual skill? Not only. To match letters with speech sounds, we first need to be aware of the sounds of the spoken language. This phonological awareness has been known to set the stage for children’s reading development. A thinner left Heschl’s gyrus has previously been often related to dyslexia (阅读障碍), a condition that makes reading very difficult. However, my research shows that this difference in thickness isn’t just about dyslexia. It applies to more people, where having a thicker auditory cortex is related to being better at reading skills. But it’s important to know that the brain changes when we learn something new or practice a skill we have already mastered. For example, young adults who studied languages a lot saw an increase in the thickness of brain areas related to language. Similarly, reading is likely to shape the structure of the left Heschl’s gyrus. So, if you want to keep your heschl’s gyrus healthy, pick up a good book and start reading. 56 information ● Few young people enjoy reading in the UK. ● 1/4 of people aged 16~24 don’t have the 57 of regular reading. A study ● It is 58 on open-source data from over 1000 people. ● It studies the influence of reading on the 59 structure. Findings There’re 60 lying in two parts of the brain’s left temporal lobe. The temporal pole ● It lies in the front part of the lobe. ● It helps connect and sort information. ● Skilled 61 have a thinner left temporal pole. The Heschl’s gyrus ● It lies on the upper part of the lobe. ● The auditory cortex in this part deals with sounds. ● Though it isn’t 62 noticed, the auditory cortex helps children’s reading development. ● People with a thicker auditory cortex do 63 in reading.

Then on Wednesday, Sam’s mother announced that the rent (房租) on their apartment was going up. Now it was Friday, and Sam received an invitation from Rosa to her birthday party. Sam knew Rosa from Adventure Club. He knew he would enjoy Rosa’s party, but he didn’t want to go without a gift. What could he possibly buy her with the little bit of money he had? Sam knew he couldn’t ask Mom or Dad for any money—not this week! Later that afternoon, Sam noticed a second-hand book sale going on. He went there and had a quick look. Two books caught his eye. The first was a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods, and the second was a book about woman explorers. “Rosa would like these,” Sam thought, “but would it be tacky (蹩脚的) to give her second-hand books for her birthday?” Sam decided that a second-hand gift was better than no gift at all. Besides, Rosa supported recycling in that way. So, she would probably like it. With his last dollar, Sam bought the books and went home. He felt a little better. The party was on Saturday. Rosa opened all her gifts and thanked everyone for the nice things they had given her. She paused when she opened Sam’s gift, which made him wonder if she liked the books, but nothing was said. When Sam got home, he opened his e-mail and found this note from Rosa.Dear Sam, Of all the gifts I received today, yours was the nicest. How did you know I would love a book about woman explorers and a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods? Now I have something to read that will inspire me to follow my dream of becoming an adventurer, and I have a book that I can share with my grandmother. She is getting older and wants to be sure her granddaughter knows how to make the wonderful foods of Puerto Rico. Thank you so much. Love, Rosa The week turned out to be a good one after all. 29．Sam bought second-hand books as gifts for Rosa because ________. A．he couldn’t afford anything expensive B．his father has been out of work recently C．Rosa liked collecting second-hand books D．his family were forced to pay the high rents 30．What might be the change of Sam’s feelings during the week?

C Although AI can bring people comfort, it still cannot match the full abilities of a human doctor. From social relationships to work challenges, Chinese people are turning to DeepSeek to solve different personal problems. They describe sharing their thoughts and receiving helpful advice from the popular chatbot. AI is changing the way people find mental (心理的) health support. But can AI truly take the place of a human doctor? Around the world, 45 percent of people who needed mental treatment (治疗) in 2024 did not receive it, with difficulties including cost and shortage of doctors, according to Daniel Lowd, a professor at the University of Oregon. He believes AI could help solve the short of mental health services. “If people can find some support and opinions by talking to a chatbot, then I think that’s wonderful,” said Lowd. Li Yong, a doctor at the Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people’s needs for mental support in some ways. However, he points out that AI cannot completely take the place of real doctors because it doesn’t have a human side which is important for therapy. Human doctors develop a deeper understanding of people’s feelings and needs through communication, which allows them to offer more practical treatment plans. The use of AI in mental health also raises worries over its safety. “AI chatbots will act as doctors if asked, without any of the training or responsibility of human doctors,” said Richard Lachman, a professor in Canada. Scientists believe the key to make AI therapy safe is proper government regulation (监管). Wysa, for example, is a mental health app that offers conversations with an AI chatbot. In 2022, it worked with the UK’s National Health Service, following a list of strict standards (标准). As AI becomes more a part of our lives, understanding its effects on human mental health means finding a balance between what’s helpful and what’s dangerous. 32．What does Daniel Lowd think of AI mental treatment? A．Harmful. B．Colorful. C．Doubtful. D．Useful. 33．Why does Li Yong believe AI can’t fully take the place of human doctors? A．AI is too expensive to get. B．AI is unable to give any advice. C．AI is unable to understand feelings. D．AI knows little about mental health. 34．What can we know about AI mental treatment according to the passage? A．It needs government rules to make it safe. B．Wysa can give its patients strict standards. C．It can be trained as a human doctor. D．People can use it without any worries. 35．What is the main idea of the article? A．The use of AI chatbots in our daily life. B．AI’s role in mental health care. C．The future of education with AI. D．The advantages of AI for mental support. D The Jiangsu City Football League, popularly known as Su Chao, recently finished its longest-ever season from spring to autumn. While the high-level skills and passion (热情) on the field were a major draw, the league’s true success came from its deep connection with the people. Unlike national leagues, Su Chao is based on city teams, which turns people’s local pride into strong support for the teams. The record-breaking crowd of over 61,000 fans for the Nanjing vs. Lianyungang match is a perfect example. They didn’t only cheer for great goals; they celebrated the never-give-up spirit of amateur (业余的) players who, like Liu Ye, never give up until the end. This local pride made the games more exciting. Fans cheered louder and felt more connected to their team, creating a wonderful atmosphere (氛围) in every match. Su Chao kept ticket prices low to make games affordable for everyone. Cities also provided excellent services for fans, including extra free public transportation, clean facilities (设施), and even delicious food or wonderful local performances. Moreover, Su Chao played a big and meaningful social role beyond entertainment (远超娱乐). The long-lasting 176-day season provided a long-lasting shared activity for communities. Families and friends gathered to watch the games, creating new local traditions and shared memories. Also, the league served as a powerful encouragement for young people, showing through action that key values like teamwork, never giving up, and willingness are important both on and off the field. In this way, football became a bridge, connecting people from different backgrounds, jobs, and ages through a common passion. Su Chao’s huge popularity clearly proves that the real power of football lies not only in the final score but in its special ability to build stronger communities and encourage people. It was more than a competition; it was a widespread festival that celebrated local culture, shared values, and the simple joy of the sport. 36．The word “draw” in the first paragraph most probably means ________. A．a picture or photo B．something that attracts people C．a tie in a game D．a prize for those fans 37．What is the main reason for Su Chao’s strong support from fans according to the passage? A．The league gathered many good high-level players. B．The games were free to watch for everyone. C．It turned people’s local pride into support for city teams. D．Every match was broadcast (播出) on national television. 38．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．The league was too long and should be shorter next year. B．Professional (职业的) leagues are more successful than amateur ones. C．The final match was the most exciting in the league’s history. D．Football’s power is about building community and encouragement. 39．What is the main purpose of the article? A．To explain the basic rules of football. B．To report on one exciting match in the Su Chao league. C．To introduce the players on the Nanjing FC team. D．To explore the reasons for Su Chao’s popularity and success. 40．What may the writer most likely agree with? A．Su Chao has widened people’s understanding of sport competitions. B．The main goal of Su Chao is to discover the future superstar players. C．More professional players will make the event bigger and more successful. D．Excellent public service isn’t a factor (因素) for Su Chao’s success. 非选择题（共50分） 四、填空（共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分） A）请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词,使句子意思完整正确,并将答案填写在答题卡相应横线上。 41．Last week Suzy (借) the four great classical Chinese novels to Henry. 42．About 100 (百万) people used ChatGPT in the first two months. 43． (保护) students’ eyesight, Chinese government has taken action in recent years. 44．Follow these tips, and you can enjoy your summer (安全地). 45．In autumn, you can see many (叶子) falling from the trees.

In a 2024 survey by the UK charity The Reading Agency, almost one in four people aged 16~24 in the country said they didn’t read regularly. What does it mean? What kind of structure does a good reader’s brain actually have? My new study published in the journal Neuroimage studied open-source data from more than 1,000 people. The result shows differences in two regions of the brain’s left temporal lobe (大脑左颞叶), which sits behind the left ear. One is the lobe’s front part known as the temporal pole (颞极). It helps connect and sort different kinds of information. For example, to understand a word like “leg”, this brain region links how legs look, feel, and move. In people who read well, the left temporal pole is thinner compared to the right. The other is the Heschl’s gyrus (海氏回) on the lobe’s upper part. The fold hosts the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) that processes sounds. That the auditory cortex would be related to reading might seem less obvious (明显的): isn’t reading mainly a visual skill? Not only. To match letters with speech sounds, we first need to be aware of the sounds of the spoken language. This phonological awareness has been known to set the stage for children’s reading development. A thinner left Heschl’s gyrus has previously been often related to dyslexia (阅读障碍), a condition that makes reading very difficult. However, my research shows that this difference in thickness isn’t just about dyslexia. It applies to more people, where having a thicker auditory cortex is related to being better at reading skills. But it’s important to know that the brain changes when we learn something new or practice a skill we have already mastered. For example, young adults who studied languages a lot saw an increase in the thickness of brain areas related to language. Similarly, reading is likely to shape the structure of the left Heschl’s gyrus. So, if you want to keep your heschl’s gyrus healthy, pick up a good book and start reading. 56 information ● Few young people enjoy reading in the UK. ● 1/4 of people aged 16~24 don’t have the 57 of regular reading. A study ● It is 58 on open-source data from over 1000 people. ● It studies the influence of reading on the 59 structure. Findings There’re 60 lying in two parts of the brain’s left temporal lobe. The temporal pole ● It lies in the front part of the lobe. ● It helps connect and sort information. ● Skilled 61 have a thinner left temporal pole. The Heschl’s gyrus ● It lies on the upper part of the lobe. ● The auditory cortex in this part deals with sounds. ● Though it isn’t 62 noticed, the auditory cortex helps children’s reading development. ● People with a thicker auditory cortex do 63 in reading.

And it is probably one of the e 66 sports. It dates back to the primitive society (可追溯到原始社会). At that time, people used sticks (木棍) to fight a 67 wild animals. Gradually (逐渐地) they learned skills to protect themselves. During the Shang Dynasty, Wushu began to be used to train s 68 to make them better at fighting. A 69 it is about fighting, Wushu advocates (提倡) peace i 70 of violence (暴力). This has been the common value shared by martial artists  (武术家) from generation to generation (代代相传). The most famous Wushu star is certainly Bruce Lee. He was the founder of Jeet Kune Do (截拳道) and made Chinese Wushu p 71 around the world. Every year, many Wushu groups travel a 72 to put on Wushu shows, trying to improve the influence of Wushu in foreign countries. Through their efforts, Wushu has b 73 better-known across the world, especially among young people. Studies show that today about 120 million people are i 74 in Chinese Wushu around the world . As a special event (活动), Wushu appeared at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympic Games. In January, 2020, China got Wushu accepted as an official (正式的) Olympic sport, which h 75 make it more international.
