While his peers ran and played, Ma could only sit in a wheelchair, watching in frustration. For years, his parents carried Ma on their backs to school, braving wind and rain. In 2016, Ma passed his college entrance exams, but he faced a dilemma. With limited resources, his family couldn’t manage both sons’ education. Then Ma made a decision to stay home, sacrificing his own learning opportunity for his brother. This decision, though rooted in love, threw Ma into hopelessness. Longing to attend university and prove himself despite his condition, Ma instead found himself stuck in bed, feeling desperate. The turning point came when a friend gave him a book, Shi Tiesheng’s best-seller I and the Temple of Earth. Shi, a famous writer who also uses a wheelchair, had transformed his struggles into profound literature. As he read,Ma felt a spark of hope lighting up his world. Shi’s vivid observations and unshaken hope inspired Ma deeply. He was struck by the realization that someone with similar struggles could find meaning and joy in life. Later, he started on a three-year journey of writing the book The Green and White Stone Steps by recording his own life,pouring his heart and soul into the words. In June 2023, Ma received unexpected good news that his book was one of 10 selected for publication through the project “Stars of Literature by Chinese Ethnic Writers”. This achievement marked a significant milestone in his literary journey. Then, the Junma Awards for Ethnic Literature announced this year’s awards, and Ma became the youngest winner of this year’s Junma Awards for Ethnic Literature in the prose category. Having fought against the illness for many years, Ma never defines himself as a man to be pitied. “I don’t think my experiences are tragic. Everyone in this world suffers from something. For me, it’s physical; for some others, it’s emotional. We’re all fighting our own battles,” he says. Writing is not just a profession for Ma — it’s a lifeline,a way to connect with the world and leave behind a legacy of courage, sincerity and hope. 24. Why did Ma give up attending university? A. His family was on a tight budget. B. His brother showed a stronger desire to study. C. His parents didn’t want to support his education. D. His physical condition prevented him from continuing his education. 25. What do we know about Ma’s book The Green and White Stone Steps? A. It was based on Shi’s personal story. B. It was finished in 7 years. C. It got recognition in the literary world. D. It was inspired by his friend. 26. Which of the following can best describe Ma Jun? A. Farsighted and patient. B. Selfless and honest. C. Talented and optimistic. D. Brave and confident. 27. What message does the text convey? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Chance favors the prepared mind. C. He who laughs last laughs longest. D. Misfortune doesn’t define who you are. C “Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere.” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned to me showing what I’ve described. Welcome to the world of AI image generation, where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts (提示词). But closer examination shows strangeness. The face of the woman in my image has very strange features, and appears to be holding various books. And, while I did feel excited at seeing an image appear, I didn’t have any creative satisfaction. AI image generation could impact everything from film to graphic novels and more. Children’s illustrators were quick to raise concerns about the technology. They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Basically, art is translating what you feel inside into something that exists outside. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process. Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that purposely copy the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work. However, a human artist is adding emotion and details into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same — it can only copy. The increasing use of AI will also lead to devaluation of the work of artists. People may think that their AI-generated “work” is as acceptable as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s wrong, of course. The skills, effort, and vision of human artists shouldn’t be ignored. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughters, but it cannot compare with the work of professional photographers. 28．The author mentioned Deep Dream Generator to ______. A．introduce the topic of AI image generation B．share the author’s personal experience C．promote the latest AI image generator D．describe the author’s dream device 29．What can we learn from the passage? A．AI image generation lacks the true creative process of human art. B．AI image generators are unable to fulfill the complex prompts. C．Children’s illustrators are eager to adopt AI image generation. D．Human emotional input can be added in AI image generation. 30．What does the word “devaluation” underlined in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Improvement in quality. B．Decrease in worth. C．Drop in creativity. D．Change in style. 31．What is the author’s attitude towards AI image generation? A．Satisfied. B．Worried. C．Optimistic. D．Puzzled. D Zootopia 2, Disney's long-awaited sequel（续集）, has set a new standard in China's film industry, breaking the single-day box office record for an imported animated film.

Researchers say that because of this, sleep disorders experienced by the two genders need to be treated differently. Insomnia (失眠) is about 1.5 times more common among women than men. 36.__________ The researchers say that one reason for this is our body clocks — our natural 24-hour cycles. 37.__________ This small difference in the body’s daily cycle directly reduces their possible resting time, which means women physically have less time to rest. Another reason is motherhood, which brings unequal stress and burdens on mothers. Doctor Alaina Tiani said: "It’s almost like their brain was half-listening for their children in the middle of the night, in case they needed something." 38.__________ People worldwide are finding it harder and harder to get a good night’s rest. The stress and pressures of daily life mean more of us are struggling to get enough sleep. 39.__________ It is a problem that troubles people of all ages, with women being more easily harmed by its effects. It is estimated that around 30% of people around the world are suffering from lack of sleep. That is having bad effects on our health. 40.__________. A lack of sleep can lead to harmful and often life-threatening health conditions. These include diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Besides these physical risks, the influence of not getting enough sleep reaches our daily thinking abilities. Not getting enough sleep can also negatively affect our ability to focus, and lead to a worsening in mental health. A. Why is this the case? B. What are the results of not getting enough sleep? C. How can people improve their sleep quality effectively? D. Women’s body clocks are about six minutes shorter than men’s. E. This kind of watchfulness of mothers often breaks their deep sleep. F. More and more people are reporting problems with getting decent sleep. G. Long-term sleep loss can also make the immune system weaker and reduce work efficiency. 第三部分 语言运用（共二节, 满分30分） 第1节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分, 共15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Journey Castillo is 3 years old.

The box belongs to Prince. He is a proud cat, hence the name. We adopted Prince three years ago. From the moment he joined our family, Prince made it clear that his favorite person was Lisa, our daughter. They became inseparable. Besides sleeping with her, Prince sat on her lap when she was eating, watching TV, or doing her homework. He even insisted on riding in the car when she was being dropped off at school. But things changed. As Lisa’s high school graduation approached, congratulatory cards from friends and family poured in for Lisa, most of which contained money, primarily in twenty-dollar bills. Since Prince has a bad habit of eating things not intended for that purpose, such as hair ties and toilet paper, he ate the twenty-dollar bills that Lisa left in a basket on the floor of her room — about $200 worth. Prince didn’t recognize the severity of what he’d done and fully expected life to go on as usual. Lisa didn’t share this view. She was very angry about what Prince did, unable to see her part in the loss. From that decisive moment on, Prince was banned from Lisa’s room, her lap, and the car rides to school. Prince didn’t understand the sudden change and complained about it in the only way he could — mournful meows (悲痛的猫叫声). Two days later, something strange happened. In the morning, I saw Prince go out and thought nothing of it. Prince often spent the mornings lying on the grassland and taking in the sun. But, around noon, I became concerned when he hadn’t come back inside. I searched everywhere. Nothing. And then my phone rang. It was Lila’s teacher, Mr. Hale. He told me Lisa was fine, but they were dealing with a situation they had never quite encountered before. I arrived at the teacher’s office in minutes. I was shocked, amazed and relieved by what I saw. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为 150 个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 There was Lisa, sitting on a couch, with Prince on her lap. Lisa said she forgave Prince the moment she spotted him at the cafeteria. 英语试题 第11页（共14页） 英语试题 第12页（共14页） 英语试题 第13页（共14页） 英语试题 第14页（共14页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 第一部分听力(共两节。20小题，每小题1.5分满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置，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。 1.

How many factors of car accidents are mentioned? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. 19. What measure has been taken to reduce car accidents? A. Improved highway design B. Stricter traffic management. C. Strengthened training for drivers. 20. What remains an important cause of rood accidents? A. Poor traffic control. B. Some driverless cars. C. Drivers’ carelessness. 【答案】18. B 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【原文】W: As the car industry develops, traffic accidents have become as familiar as the common cold. Yet their causes and control remain a serious problem that is difficult to solve. Experts have long recognized that this discouraging problem has many causes. At the very least, it is a problem that involves three factors: the driver, the vehicle and the roadway. If all of the drivers exercised good judgment at all times, there would be few accidents. Improved design has helped to make highways much safer. But the number of accidents continues to rise because of human failure and an enormous increase in the number of automobiles on the road. Attention is now turning increasingly to the third cause of the accidents: the car itself. People want to know how cars can be built better to protect the drivers. So there are also some new driverless cars on the road. Are they really safe? 第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节　(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A 参考答案与解析： 21. B。细节理解题。定位至《The Zombie Project》描述，原文明确提到“fights not to kill the zombies but to save them”，即主角的目标是拯救僵尸而非消灭，这与常规僵尸故事不同。 22. B。细节理解题。题干关键词为“history and technology”。《Wrong Tracks》背景设定在1829年的铁路工业革命时期，涉及历史与蒸汽科技，完全符合。 23. D。细节理解与概括题。通读五本书的简介，每本都提到了“adventure”（冒险），这是它们的共同主题。A项只有第一本是，B项只有第二本是，C项只有第四本是。 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了身患残疾的马骏克服困难、坚持写作并最终获得文学奖项的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 2016, Ma passed his college entrance exams, but he faced a dilemma. With limited resources, his family couldn’t manage both sons’ education. Then Ma made a decision to stay home, sacrificing (牺牲) his own learning opportunity for his brother.(2016年，马俊通过了高考，但他面临着一个两难的抉择。由于资源有限，他的家庭无法负担两个儿子的教育费用。于是马骏决定留在家里，为弟弟牺牲自己的学习机会)”可知，马骏放弃上大学是因为家里经济紧张，无法同时供两个儿子读书。故选A。 25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In June 2023, Ma received unexpected good news that his book was one of 10 selected for publication through the project “Stars of Literature by Chinese Ethnic Writers”. This achievement marked a significant milestone in his literary journey.(2023年6月，马俊收到了一个意想不到的好消息：他的书是通过“中国少数民族作家文学之星”项目选出的10本出版书籍之一。这一成就标志着他文学旅程中的一个重要里程碑)”可知，马骏的书《青白石阶》在文学界获得了认可。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Later, he started on a three - year journey of writing the book The Green and White Stone Steps by recording his own life,pouring his heart and soul into the words.(后来，他开始用三年的时间记录自己的生活，写下了《青白石阶》这本书，把自己的心和灵魂都倾注在了文字里)”以及最后一段中“Having fought against the illness for many years, Ma never defines himself as a man to be pitied. (与疾病抗争多年，马俊从未将自己定义为值得同情的人)”和“Writing is not just a profession for Ma — it’s a lifeline,a way to connect with the world and leave behind a legacy of courage, sincerity and hope.(写作对马俊来说不仅仅是一种职业，它是一条生命线，一种与世界连接的方式，一种留下勇气、真诚和希望遗产的方式)”可知，马俊在身体不便的情况下，坚持写作三年，通过记录自己的生活来创作书籍，这显示出他在文学创作方面的天赋和才华；而马俊面对身体上的困境，没有消极抱怨，而是积极面对生活，通过写作来与世界连接，传递勇气、真诚和希望，这体现出他乐观的生活态度。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Having fought against the illness for many years, Ma never defines himself as a man to be pitied. “I don’t think my experiences are tragic. Everyone in this world suffers from something. For me, it’s physical; for some others, it’s emotional. We’re all fighting our own battles,” he says.(与疾病抗争多年，马俊从未将自己定义为值得同情的人。“我不认为我的经历是悲惨的。这个世界上每个人都在受苦。对我来说，是身体上的；对其他人来说，可能是情感上的。我们都在打自己的仗，”他说)”以及结合文章可知，本文主要讲述了身患残疾的马俊克服困难、坚持写作并最终获得文学奖项的故事。由此可知，文章传达的信息是“不幸并不能定义你是谁”。故选D。 【答案】28. A 29. A 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了AI图像生成技术的兴起、AI技术对人类艺术创造力的影响、潜在的问题以及对艺术家作品价值的冲击，作者对此表示了担忧。 【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段““Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere.” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned to me showing what I’ve described. (“夜空下，女人读书，梦幻的氛围。”我在Deep Dream Generator的Text 2 Dream功能中输入。不到一分钟，系统就返回给我一张显示我所描述内容的图片)”以及第二段“Welcome to the world of AI image generation (生成), where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts.(欢迎来到AI图像生成的世界，在这里，你只需几个文本提示就能创作出表面上看似一流的艺术作品)”可知，作者提到自己用Deep Dream Generator创作图片是为了引出下文将要讨论的AI图像生成这一主题。故选A项。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Basically, art is translating what you feel inside into something that exists outside. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process.(从本质上讲，艺术是将你内心的感受转化为外在存在的东西。无论它采取什么形式，真正的艺术更多的是关于创作过程，而不是最终的作品。而简单地按下一个按钮来生成图像并不是一个创作过程)”可知，AI图像生成缺乏人类艺术真正的创作过程。故选A项。 【30题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“People may think that their AI-generated “work” is as acceptable as that created by someone who has spent a career making art.(人们可能认为他们AI生成的“作品”和那些花了一辈子时间创作艺术的人的作品一样可以被接受)”可知，人们可能会认为AI生成的作品和人类艺术家的作品一样有价值，结合常识可推知，既然AI生成的作品和人类艺术家的作品一样有价值，那么AI的广泛使用就会导致艺术家作品的价值降低，故“devaluation”意为“价值的降低”，与B项“Decrease in worth.”意思一致。故选B项。 【31题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process.(而简单地按下一个按钮来生成图像并不是一个创作过程)”、第四段“Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues.(除了创造力之外，还有更深层次的问题)”以及最后一段“The increasing use of AI will also lead to devaluation of the work of artists.(AI的日益使用也将导致艺术家作品的贬值)”可推知，作者对AI图像生成持担忧态度。故选B项。 答案与解析 32.答案：B 解析：定位句为“The film had already made history with 309.1 million yuan in nine-day pre-sales — setting a new standard for animated films released in China”，说明该片预售为中国动画电影创下新纪录，A选项9.7/10是上映后的评分，C选项254,000是排片场次，D选项“all international films”范围错误，故选B。 33.答案：B 解析：定位句为“The film explores themes of inclusion and understanding... Most importantly, the movie's positive message about unity and courage deeply touched viewers”，可知包容与团结的主题是成功原因之一，A、C、D原文均未提及，故选B。 34.答案：D 解析：定位句为“The film proves how well-made animation with universal themes of friendship and harmony can achieve both critical praise and commercial success”，可推断普世主题助力动画电影获得口碑和商业双丰收，A选项“no cultural boundaries at all”过于绝对，B、C与原文不符，故选D。 35. 答案：C 解析：原文核心内容分为两大部分：一是《疯狂动物城 2》在中国创下的票房纪录（首日票房、预售成绩）；二是分析影片成功的多重原因（角色回归、主题内核、营销活动等）。选项 A只提及营销策略，属于片面内容，不能概括全文。选项 B仅强调角色和剧情，只是成功原因之一，并非全文主旨。选项 D扩大了范围，原文只围绕《疯狂动物城 2》展开，并非讨论所有动画电影的文化影响。选项 C精准涵盖了 “票房成绩” 和 “成功因素” 两大核心，是最全面的标题。 七选五答案与解析 | 36 | A | 前文提出“女性失眠概率远高于男性”的现象，后文紧接着分析原因，此句承上启下，引出下文对原因的探讨。 | | 37 | D | 前一句提及“生物钟是原因之一”，后一句描述“人体日常节律的细微差异影响休息时间”，此句补充“女性生物钟比男性短6分钟”的具体细节，衔接自然。 | | 38 | E | 前文引用医生的话说明母亲夜间会留意孩子动静，此句进一步说明这种警觉性会干扰深度睡眠，延伸前文观点，让女性失眠原因的论述更完整。 | | 39 | F | 此空为段中句，前一句说“生活压力让更多人难以睡好”，后一句讲“睡眠问题困扰各年龄段人群”，此句衔接上下文，具体说明睡眠问题的普遍性。 | | 40 | B | 此空位于段首，后文具体阐述睡眠不足的生理和心理危害，此句作为主旨句，引出下文对危害的介绍。 | 完型答案详解（题号41-55） 41. 答案：B 解析：根据后文“We could not be more proud”可知，父母因女儿成为参观所有公园的最年轻者而感到“自豪的”，proud符合上下文情感逻辑。 42. 答案：A 解析：前文提及一家人穿越全国旅行，结合“America's most beautiful scenery”的语境，此处是“欣赏”美景，enjoyed为合理选择。 43. 答案：C 解析：表示“父母带她去科罗拉多州”，take sb to sp是固定搭配，意为“带某人去某地”，符合文意。 44. 答案：A 解析：根据前文语境可知，Journey跟着家人出游是开心的状态，a great time 表示“玩得愉快”，契合文意；a hard time（艰难的时光）、a close call（侥幸脱险）、a heavy heart（心情沉重）均为反向干扰项。 45. 答案：C 解析：由“They loved the parks so much”可知，他们想参观“更多”公园，more符合语境的递进逻辑。 46. 答案：B 解析：后文“to visit 21 parks by Journey's first birthday...”是一家人制定的具体安排，make a plan（制定计划）为固定搭配，契合文意。 47. 答案：B 解析：根据“posted the photos on Instagram”可知，一家人会“记录”每次参观的过程，recorded符合动作逻辑。 48. 答案：A 解析：表示“名为Journey Go Explore的网站”，called在此处意为“被称作”，是介绍事物名称的常用表达。 49. 答案：C 解析：由转折词“But”可知，前文应是旅行“并非总是容易的”，easy与后文“帮助女儿学会自信”形成转折关系。 50. 答案：B 解析：根据“happily”的情感基调，Journey是“问候”护林员，greets符合积极的语境；refuses（拒绝）、avoids（避免）、ignores（忽视）均为消极动作，与文意相悖。 51. 答案：A 解析：结合“hope their travels can...other people to get outside and explore”的语境，一家人希望旅行能“鼓励/支持”他人走出户外，give a shout-out to（向……表示支持）符合；turn a blind eye to（视而不见）、throw cold water on（泼冷水）、keep an eye on（留意）均为干扰项。 52. 答案：D 解析：由破折号后“staying close to home”可知，前文是说人们不必去“远”的地方旅行，far与close形成反义对应。 53. 答案：B 解析：结合旅行的语境，待在家附近也能留下美好的“回忆”，memories是旅行场景的合理结果；results（结果）、chances（机会）、gifts（礼物）均不符合语境。 54. 答案：B 解析：make sb do sth是固定结构，意为“使某人做某事”，符合“大自然中的经历让人感觉愉悦”的句式要求。 55. 答案：C 解析：根据文末“in their posts”（在帖子中）可知，这是一家人“写”的内容，wrote符合媒介传播的动作逻辑。 语法填空答案 56.is inspired 57.combination 58.traditional 59.which 60.and 61.a 62.for 63.showing 64.closer 65.will appear 解析 56.is inspired 解析：考查一般现在时的被动语态。主语“Its design”与“inspire”为被动关系，描述客观的设计灵感来源，用一般现在时被动语态（am/is/are + 过去分词），故填is inspired。 57.combination 58.traditional 解析：考查形容词词性变形。空格后为名词“cloud and ruyi patterns”，需用形容词修饰；“tradition”为名词，其形容词形式为“traditional”（传统的），符合“传统云纹和如意纹样”的语境，故填traditional。 59.which 解析：考查非限制性定语从句关系代词。先行词为“Wuhua Horses”，指物，在非限制性定语从句中作主语，故填which。 60.and 61.a 解析：考查不定冠词的用法。“a series of”为固定搭配，意为“一系列”，“series”虽单复数同形，但此处表泛指“一个系列”，需用不定冠词a修饰，故填a。 62.for 解析：考查介词固定搭配。“stand for”为固定短语，意为“代表；象征”，故填for。 63.showing 解析：考查非谓语动词（现在分词作结果状语）。空格前有副词“thus”，此处用现在分词体现“自然而然的结果”；“show”与逻辑主语“This mascot”为主动关系，故填showing。 64.closer 解析：考查形容词比较级。“get closer”意为“越来越近”，用比较级体现马年逐步临近的过程，故填closer。 65.will appear 应用文范文 Labor for Beauty, Gain for Growth Last week, our school held a labor activity themed “Happy Labor·Beautify Our Campus”. All students took part and were divided into groups to do different tasks. My group cleaned the classroom, swept the playground and watered the plants in the school garden. We helped each other and finished the work happily. Through this activity, I felt tired but happy. I learned that labor can make our school more beautiful and that teamwork is important. It also let me know how hard cleaners work, so I’ll cherish the clean environment more. I really hope there will be more such meaningful activities. 读后续写范文 There was Lisa, sitting on a couch, with Prince on her lap. He looked perfectly at peace. Lisa was excited and touched that Prince came looking for her. Clearly, Prince had somehow made his way to the school. Our guesses were that Prince must have known where Lisa was from all the times he rode along when Lisa was dropped off at school. The principal told me that Prince walked into the school cafeteria like he owned the place, jumped onto a table, and calmly went from one table to the next until he found Lisa. Lisa said she forgave Prince the moment she spotted him at the cafeteria. She even felt guilty about ignoring him for days. Lisa had done the only thing he could think of — find her himself. When we returned home, Prince was restored to his rightful place, Lisa’s room. And, to Lisa’s great surprise, our family and friends were so moved by the story of Prince that they contributed again to Lisa’s graduation. This time, however, it was different. No cash. No, no, no. Only hard plastic, Prince-proof gift cards. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2025至2026年第一学期期末考试听力部分。第一节听下面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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Cindy is, father has a farm.
