It once again follows Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, this time as they follow reptile Gary De’Snake across Zootopia and try to clear their names after being framed. Plot At the Zootenial Gala, a poisonous snake named Gary De’Snake kidnaps family leader Milton Lynxley to access an old journal. Framed as partners in crime, Judy and Nick become runaways. They helped Gary recover the journal, revealing his great-grandmother Agnes as Zootopia’s true founder, wronged by the Lynxley family. Finally reptiles return to the city, while Judy and Nick are cleared of all charges. Release Zootopia 2 premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles on November 13, 2025, and was released in the United States by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on November 26, 2025. Two days later, it was released in the United Kingdom. Marketing In November 2025, as a publicity stunt, three remote-controlled cars with animatronic puppets of the film’s characters appeared in Los Angeles. They consisted of Nick, Judy, and Gary in a purple car, Finnick in his brown van, and Flash in his sports car. The stunt was reportedly received well by the public. Box office As of December 9, 2025, Zootopia 2 has grossed $230.1 million in the United States and Canada, and $742.2 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $972.3 million. Critical response Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of “A” on an A+ to F scale, the same score as the first film. On the other hand, Peter Bradshaw, writing a review for The Guardian, gave the film two out of five stars. He described it as “a soulless movie made by just following a formula, filled with jokes that feel safe and approved by the studio.” 1. When was Zootopia 2 released in the United Kingdom? A. On November 13, 2025. B. On November 26, 2025. C. On November 28, 2025. D. On December 9, 2025. 2. What did the studio do to promote the film? A. It invested $230.1 million to advertise the film. B. It paraded character puppets in remote-controlled cars. C. It invited the reporter to publicize the upcoming film. D. It released a series of short videos about the main plot. 3 Where is the text possibly from? A. A journal on film reviews. B. An entertainment website. C. A textbook on movie history. D. A newspaper on global news. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了2025年上映的美国动画喜剧电影《疯狂动物城 2》的剧情、上映日期、营销手段、票房表现以及部分评价。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Release中的“Zootopia 2 premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles on November 13, 2025, and was released in the United States by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on November 26, 2025. Two days later, it was released in the United Kingdom. (《疯狂动物城2》于2025年11月13日在洛杉矶好莱坞的埃尔卡皮坦剧院首映，并由华特迪士尼电影公司于2025年11月26日在美国上映。两天后，它在英国上映。)”可知，英国上映时间是在美国上映日期（11月26日）的两天后，即11月28日。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Marketing中的第一句“In November 2025, as a publicity stunt, three remote-controlled cars with animatronic puppets of the film’s characters appeared in Los Angeles. (2025年11月，作为一项宣传活动，三辆装有电影角色电子机械木偶的遥控汽车出现在洛杉矶。)”可知，为推广电影采取的措施是使用带有角色木偶的遥控汽车进行展示。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。文章依次介绍了《疯狂动物城 2》的剧情简介、上映日期、营销活动、票房数据和不同来源的评价，且评价中既有观众高分也有影评人差评。这种结构全面、内容通俗、包含最新动态和娱乐属性的文章，最有可能出现在娱乐类网站上。A项“学术期刊”通常更学术；C项“教科书”不具如此强的时效性；D项“全球新闻”的报道通常不会如此结构化地聚焦于一部电影的多个商业和娱乐维度。故选B项。 B Mark Levine, a 77-year-old American professor, has spent nearly twenty years living and working in China. On teaching days, he leaves his apartment in Beijing’s Haidian District before sunrise and travels over thirty kilometers to Minzu University’s Fengtai campus. Although he moves slowly, he maintains an active schedule, balancing his work as a teacher, writer, and musician. Levine often explains that these roles help him stay connected to the society he regards as home. His interest in China began while he was working for a U.S. labor organization dedicated to improving conditions for low-income workers. As a sociologist, he examined how different countries addressed social inequality and was particularly impressed by China’s progress. Later, a job offer from a college in Huai’an convinced him to take a decisive step and begin a new chapter. He still remembers his first evening in Huai’an, when the streets were crowded with bicycles, a scene that signaled how different his new environment would be. Over the years, he traveled to every provincial-level region in China and delivered lectures at more than eighty universities. In 2007, Levine moved to Beijing. His small apartment is filled with plants, guitars, books about China, and souvenirs from his travels — items that record the life he has built on his own. Although his family lives far away, he insists that he does not feel lonely, largely because of the friendships he has formed with colleagues, neighbors, and students. A key moment in his life came when he met Fu Han, a piano teacher who later became his musical partner. Hoping to present a more complete picture of China to the world, they began writing songs together. A spring festival he spent with her family in rural Hubei left him particularly moved and inspired one of his songs about the warmth he experienced there. In 2016, Levine received Chinese permanent residence, which strengthened his sense of belonging. Today, well known in his neighborhood, he is often greeted by children who call him “Grandpa Santa.” 4. Why did Levine move to China at first? A. To take up a post. B. To further his study. C. To find a well-paid job. D. To explore a college. 5. How does Levine mainly keep loneliness away while living far from his family? A. By writing songs about home. B. By traveling to various places. C. By occupying himself in work. D. By building social connections. 6. What does Levine’s cooperation with Fu Han imply? A. It encouraged him to pursue music full time. B. It pushed him to learn traditional instruments. C. It helped him become an established performer. D. It allowed him to share local stories effectively. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A sociologist’s fight for workers. B. A foreigner’s life rooted in China. C. A foreign teacher’s route to fame. D. A professor’s music achievements. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了77岁美国教授马克·莱文在中国近二十年的生活与工作经历，展现了一位外国人在中国扎根并找到归属感的生活历程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Later, a job offer from a college in Huai’an convinced him to take a decisive step and begin a new chapter. (后来，淮安一所大学的工作邀请让他迈出了决定性的一步，开启人生新篇章。)”可知，这位教授最初决定来中国是因为获得了一份大学的工作邀请。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Although his family lives far away, he insists that he does not feel lonely, largely because of the friendships he has formed with colleagues, neighbors, and students. (尽管家人远在大洋彼岸，但他坚持表示自己并不孤单，这主要得益于他与同事、邻居和学生建立的友谊。)”可知，他远离家人却不感到孤独的主要原因是建立了广泛的社交关系来摆脱孤独。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“Hoping to present a more complete picture of China to the world, they began writing songs together. (为了向世界展现更全面的中国，他们开始一起创作歌曲。)”可推知，他与Fu Han的合作旨在通过音乐有效分享中国本土的故事与见闻。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章从这位教授来华缘由、工作教学、日常生活、社交关系、音乐创作及获得永久居留权等多个方面，全面描述了他如何在中国扎根、融入并找到归属感的过程，核心主题是一位外国人在中国深入生活的故事。故选B项。 C As the holiday season approaches, products featuring artificial intelligence are raising alarms among child safety advocates. Consumer groups warn that AI-powered toys may endanger children’s well-being due to insufficient regulation and research, urging demands for stricter oversight. “These toys lack evidence of benefits for kids, face zero AI regulation, and their marketing creates serious risks,” said Rachel Franz of Fairplay, a tech watchdog. The concerns intensified after a Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) investigation revealed an AI teddy bear named Olly’s Kumquat could discuss sensitive topics despite being marketed as a “relationship enhancer.” “I was shocked by how openly it addressed inappropriate content,” reported PIRG’s Teresa Murray. Before the report, parents, technology researchers and lawmakers had already raised concerns about the impact of bots on minors’ mental health. Experts highlight that children may form emotional bonds with bots without realizing they are not human. “Kids might expect unconditional support or prefer bots over real relationships,” warned Jacqueline Woolley of the University of Texas. Companies also collect children’s data without transparency (透明), increasing privacy risks.“Children may share deeply personal thoughts with toys lacking security measures,” said Franz. While acknowledging potential educational uses — like language learning — advocates urge caution. “AI toys shouldn’t be banned, but must prove safety through research before remaining on shelves,” Franz insisted. Following PIRG’s report, OllyAI halted production of the bear toys for a safety review. Meanwhile, 80 organizations, including Fairplay, advised families to avoid AI toys this season, emphasizing that traditional offline toys have well-documented benefits without the risks created by AI. Toy manufacturers responded defensively. Curro, maker of The Grotto, promised to investigate concerns while ensuring child safety. Mattel clarified its OpenAI products target “families and older audiences,” banning users under 13 and stressing AI as a “supplement, not replacement” for traditional play. Yet Franz questioned Mattel’s safeguards: “How will they prevent kids from accessing these products?” As AI integration expands in children’s products, the debate centers on balancing innovation with protection. Until studies confirm safety and ethical standards, critics argue caution — not convenience — should guide holiday gift choices. 8. What problem did the PIRG investigation find about the AI teddy bear? A. It promoted inappropriate physical activities for children. B. It failed to function properly during standard safety tests. C. It was found to be collecting personal financial information. D. It addressed subjects that differed from its intended function. 9. What does paragraph 3 focus on? A. The potential risks of traditional toys. B. The dangers AI toys might bring to kids. C. The lack of safety in most children’s toys. D. The way AI toys replace real friends for kids. 10. What does the underlined word “halted” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Suspended. B. Ignored. C. Opposed. D. Expanded. 11. What can be inferred from Mattel’s statement about its AI products? A. They plan to replace its traditional toys. B. They position AI as an optional addition. C. They admit AI toys cannot be educational. D. They believe the age restrictions are reliable. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了随着假期临近，人工智能玩具引发安全担忧，各方就此展开讨论并提出观点 。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The concerns intensified after a Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) investigation revealed an AI teddy bear named Olly’s Kumquat could discuss sensitive topics despite being marketed as a “relationship enhancer.” (公众利益研究小组（PIRG）的一项调查加剧了人们的担忧，该调查显示，一款名为奥利金橘（Olly’s Kumquat）的人工智能泰迪熊尽管被宣传为“增进关系的工具”，但却能讨论敏感话题。)”可知，这款人工智能泰迪熊讨论的话题与其预期功能不符。故选D。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Experts highlight that children may form emotional bonds with bots without realizing they are not human. (专家强调，儿童可能会与机器人建立情感联结，却没有意识到它们并非人类。)”和“Companies also collect children’s data without transparency (透明), increasing privacy risks. (企业还会不透明地收集儿童数据，增加了隐私风险。)”可知，本段主要讲述了人工智能玩具可能给孩子带来的危险。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Following PIRG’s report, OllyAI halted production of the bear toys for a safety review. (在PIRG的报告发布后，奥利人工智能公司暂停了熊玩具的生产，以进行安全审查。)”可知，为了进行安全审查，奥利人工智能公司暂停了熊玩具的生产，“halted”意思是“暂停”，与“Suspended”意思相近。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Mattel clarified its OpenAI products target “families and older audiences,” banning users under 13 and stressing AI as a “supplement, not replacement” for traditional play. (美泰公司澄清，其OpenAI产品针对的是“家庭和年长观众”，禁止13岁以下用户使用，并强调人工智能是传统游戏的“补充，而非替代”。)”可知，美泰公司认为人工智能是传统游戏的补充，即作为一种可选的附加项。故选B。 D Second place is just the first loser. While the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it doesn’t always lead to human flourishing and can create misery. Fortunately, there is a formula to solve this problem: instead of always going for gold, shoot for the bronze. Though second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner regarding happiness and longevity. In a 1995 study, scholars systematically coded the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. Using slow-motion footage captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台), researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists. Over 80% of bronze medalists exhibited genuine smiles, a figure that was nearly double that observed among silver medalists. Moreover, every bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than the average smile observed among the silver medalists. More recent research has looked at the life span of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study tracked the average longevity of those representing the U.S. in the Olympic Games from 1904 to 1936 and found that the athlete whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by four years, living to 76. But first prize in longevity went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation for this discrepancy: “Unsatisfactory competition outcomes may adversely affect health.” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists, whereas the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory shows the difference between upward and downward social comparison. When we compare ourselves with those who have more money, power, or achievements, we often feel like, well, losers. It tends to lower motivation and increase stress. In contrast, downward comparison makes people feel better about themselves and, thus, happier. The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. It tends to lower the intrinsic motivation, and thus enjoyment that people obtain from their activities. The principle at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. 12. What can be learned from the 1995 study? A. Silver medalists showed less happiness than bronze winners. B. Silver medalists’ smiling frequency was close to that of gold medalists. C. The average bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than every silver medalist’s. D. The emotions of both medalists were unchanged from the events to the podium. 13. What is the cause of the difference in medalists’ life span? A. The stress from downward social comparison. B. The motivation from upward social comparison. C. The effect of different types of social comparison. D. The failure to look up to the top after the competition. 14. What does the writer advise us to do to achieve happiness? A. Learn from the top performers. B. Try to be the best in every field. C. Commit to one’s consistent personal growth. D. Strengthen the motivation to obtain achievement. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Triumph of Coming in Third B. The Problem of Human Competition C. The Mechanism of Social Comparison D. The Psychology of the Olympic Medalists 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了研究发现铜牌获得者在幸福程度和长寿方面是真正的赢家，因为银牌得主将自己看作第一个失败者，他们向上比较，而铜牌得主将自己与所有那些没得奖的人比较，他们向下比较。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Using slow-motion footage captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (讲台), researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists. Over 80% of bronze medalists exhibited genuine smiles, a figure that was nearly double that observed among silver medalists. Moreover, every bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than the average smile observed among the silver medalists.(研究人员慢动作镜头捕捉了紧跟比赛结束后和稍后在颁奖台上的情况，发现铜牌获得者的平均表现的开心程度一直高于银牌获得者。超过80%的铜牌获得者展现出真诚的笑容，这一数字几乎是银牌获得者的两倍。此外，每位铜牌获得者的笑容都比银牌获得者的平均笑容持续的时间长。)”可知，1995年的研究发现铜牌得主比银牌得主表现得更开心，也就是说银牌得主没有铜牌得主表现得开心。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The study had a handy explanation for this discrepancy: “Unsatisfactory competition outcomes may adversely affect health.” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists, whereas the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory shows the difference between upward and downward social comparison.(这项研究对这种差异有一个方便的解释：“不令人满意的比赛结果可能会对健康产生不利影响。”换句话说，银牌获得者认为自己是第一个失败者，因为他们仰望最高台阶，只将自己与金牌获得者进行比较，而铜牌获得者则将自己与所有从未登上领奖台的人进行比较。这一理论表明了向上和向下社会比较之间的差异。)”可知，奖牌得主寿命的差异反映了不同奖牌得主向上和向下社会比较之间的心理差异。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The principle at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you.(这里起作用的原则是努力提高自己过去的表现，你唯一需要与之比较的人就是你自己。)”可知，要致力于提高自我，与自己比较，由此可推测，作者建议要致力于个人的不断成长。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“Though second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner regarding happiness and longevity.(虽然第二名可能是第一个失败者，但在幸福和长寿方面，第三名可能是真正的赢家。)”可知，本文主要讲述了第三名在幸福和长寿方面是真正的赢家，并通过研究证实这一观点，反映了他们向上和向下社会比较的心理差异，呼吁专注自我提高、与自己比较。所以A项“第三名的胜利”最适合作本文标题。故选A。 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。 Are you able to cook a healthy meal? Are you able to manage your money well? Are you able to sew on a button? ___16___ This highlights a significant gap in modern education, which heavily prioritizes academic achievement and strict testing, often at the expense of practical life skills. Schools have done well in preparing us to be academic achievers in school, but may not have prepared us well enough in developing life skills. ___17___ For those without these basic skills, the pandemic lockdown was a rude shock. With restaurants closed and home services stopped, it would have been satisfying to cook a meal or fix a light bulb. It’s a shame that schools produce scholarly individuals who are unprepared for simple home tasks. ___18___ For example, financial management fosters responsibility and caution, while lessons on investment teach wealth growth. Equipped with this literacy, students can better discuss financial goals with parents, and budgeting knowledge can steer them away from overspending. Thus, in our complex world, schools must teach beyond academic subjects. After all, all the responsibility cannot be transferred to the home. The argument for parents teaching practical life skills overlooks modern realities. Many working parents lack the time, and some may not possess the proficiency themselves. ___19___. Sandra Carey, a writer, puts it appropriately: “Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.” School is not simply a place to pass knowledge and prepare us for a career. ___20___ A. Thus, a balanced approach is needed early on. B. For instance, many communities offer evening classes for adults. C. Instead it equips us with the wisdom to construct a fulfilling life. D. Not many of us can confidently nod our heads to these questions. E. Consequently, the central role in bridging this gap must fall to our schools. F. By integrating practical skills, schools can teach a more complete set of life values. G. Yet practical skills such as cooking and housekeeping are essential in the real world. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. F 19. E 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了现代教育中重学术轻实践技能的问题，强调学校应教授实用生活技能以帮助学生构建充实人生。 【16题详解】 由上文“Are you able to cook a healthy meal? Are you able to manage your money well?

Instead, she typed a question that had been pressing on her heart for weeks: ‌“Why won’t Grandma eat properly?” It was early January. After finishing her exams, Mira had returned to her hometown to spend some quiet days with her grandmother. The old woman had once been a legend — she’d worked as a tailor (裁缝), made dresses for half the village and saved enough to open her own shop. Time had taken its toll. Now her eyesight had dimmed, her fingers trembled, but she was still that legendary woman who lived on her own terms. Whenever someone ladled (用勺子舀) soup into her bowl, she would push it away, murmuring, ‌“I don’t need it. Save it for yourselves.” Every meal played out the same way. It broke Mira’s heart. Actually, the family was doing well. There was plenty of food, plenty of love. So why did eating — a simple, everyday act — seem like a burden to her? She tried reasoning with her, but the more she talked, the more Grandma resisted. Until one day, in a moment of frustration, she blurted out, ‌“Grandma, you make me so sad when you act like this.” The old woman froze, then sighed. ‌“I’m over seventy. I won’t be around much longer. It doesn’t matter how I eat.” The words cut deep. Mira thought about taking her to a psychologist (心理医生) but knew she’d refuse. So she turned to an old companion, the AI. The response came quickly Grandma was refusing food because she felt like she no longer had a place in the family. The AI offered suggestions: Help her feel secure and needed. 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。 Paragraph 1: With AI’s assistance, Mira began her plan. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As meals became less of a battle, Mira decided to relight the sparkle in grandmother’s eyes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： With AI’s assistance, Mira began her plan. First, she worked with AI to create customized recipes for Grandma, accounting for her age-related digestive issues and past preferences to make nutritious, easy-to-swallow dishes. Meanwhile, following AI’s suggestion to make Grandma feel valued, the family started to shower her with more attention — sitting with her at meals, chatting warmly, expressing appreciation and encouraging her to eat. As days passed, Grandma began to sense the genuine care and importance the family placed on her. Gradually, the once-stubborn resistance to food faded away. As meals became less of a battle, Mira decided to relight the sparkle in grandmother’s eyes. “It’s time to make her feel needed,” Mira thought, appealing to Grandma’s pride as the village’s best tailor and asking her to make a special outfit for a school event. Grandma’s eyes lit up immediately, a spark of the old force she once had returning. Mira and Grandma spent hours crafting together — Grandma patiently guiding her through measuring, cutting, and sewing, sharing stories of her tailor days. This interaction restored Grandma’s self-worth, strengthened their bond, and gave her a new lease on life. Her appetite improved with renewed energy from skill recognition, leaving Mira amazed at AI’s role as an outstanding virtual psychologist. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Mira的奶奶拒绝吃饭，Mira求助AI后得知奶奶觉得自己在家庭中没有了位置，于是Mira开始实施计划。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在人工智能的帮助下，米拉开始了她的计划。”可知，第一段可描写米拉根据AI的建议为奶奶制定食谱，家人也给予奶奶更多关注，奶奶逐渐改变了态度。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着吃饭不再是一场斗争，米拉决定重新点燃祖母眼中的光芒。”可知，第二段可描写米拉利用奶奶的裁缝技能，让奶奶为学校活动制作特殊服装，奶奶的自我价值感得到恢复，与米拉的关系也更加亲密。 2. 续写线索：米拉制定食谱——家人给予关注——奶奶改变态度——米拉让奶奶制作服装——奶奶自我价值感恢复——关系更加亲密 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①表达：express/show/convey ②恢复：restore/recover/renew ③加强：strengthen/reinforce/enhance 情绪类 ①耐心地：patiently/with patience ②惊讶的：amazed/openmouthed 【点睛】[高分句型1] As days passed, Grandma began to sense the genuine care and importance the family placed on her.

It once again follows Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, this time as they follow reptile Gary De’Snake across Zootopia and try to clear their names after being framed. Plot At the Zootenial Gala, a poisonous snake named Gary De’Snake kidnaps family leader Milton Lynxley to access an old journal. Framed as partners in crime, Judy and Nick become runaways. They helped Gary recover the journal, revealing his great-grandmother Agnes as Zootopia’s true founder, wronged by the Lynxley family. Finally reptiles return to the city, while Judy and Nick are cleared of all charges. Release Zootopia 2 premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles on November 13, 2025, and was released in the United States by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on November 26, 2025. Two days later, it was released in the United Kingdom. Marketing In November 2025, as a publicity stunt, three remote-controlled cars with animatronic puppets of the film’s characters appeared in Los Angeles.

On the other hand, Peter Bradshaw, writing a review for The Guardian, gave the film two out of five stars.

B Mark Levine, a 77-year-old American professor, has spent nearly twenty years living and working in China. On teaching days, he leaves his apartment in Beijing’s Haidian District before sunrise and travels over thirty kilometers to Minzu University’s Fengtai campus. Although he moves slowly, he maintains an active schedule, balancing his work as a teacher, writer, and musician. Levine often explains that these roles help him stay connected to the society he regards as home. His interest in China began while he was working for a U.S. labor organization dedicated to improving conditions for low-income workers. As a sociologist, he examined how different countries addressed social inequality and was particularly impressed by China’s progress. Later, a job offer from a college in Huai’an convinced him to take a decisive step and begin a new chapter. He still remembers his first evening in Huai’an, when the streets were crowded with bicycles, a scene that signaled how different his new environment would be. Over the years, he traveled to every provincial-level region in China and delivered lectures at more than eighty universities. In 2007, Levine moved to Beijing. His small apartment is filled with plants, guitars, books about China, and souvenirs from his travels — items that record the life he has built on his own. Although his family lives far away, he insists that he does not feel lonely, largely because of the friendships he has formed with colleagues, neighbors, and students. A key moment in his life came when he met Fu Han, a piano teacher who later became his musical partner. Hoping to present a more complete picture of China to the world, they began writing songs together. A spring festival he spent with her family in rural Hubei left him particularly moved and inspired one of his songs about the warmth he experienced there. In 2016, Levine received Chinese permanent residence, which strengthened his sense of belonging. Today, well known in his neighborhood, he is often greeted by children who call him “Grandpa Santa.” 4 Why did Levine move to China at first? A. To take up a post. B. To further his study. C. To find a well-paid job. D. To explore a college. 5 How does Levine mainly keep loneliness away while living far from his family? A. By writing songs about home. B. By traveling to various places. C. By occupying himself in work. D. By building social connections. 6. What does Levine’s cooperation with Fu Han imply? A. It encouraged him to pursue music full time. B. It pushed him to learn traditional instruments. C. It helped him become an established performer. D. It allowed him to share local stories effectively. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A sociologist’s fight for workers. B. A foreigner’s life rooted in China. C. A foreign teacher’s route to fame. D. A professor’s music achievements. C As the holiday season approaches, products featuring artificial intelligence are raising alarms among child safety advocates. Consumer groups warn that AI-powered toys may endanger children’s well-being due to insufficient regulation and research, urging demands for stricter oversight. “These toys lack evidence of benefits for kids, face zero AI regulation, and their marketing creates serious risks,” said Rachel Franz of Fairplay, a tech watchdog. The concerns intensified after a Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) investigation revealed an AI teddy bear named Olly’s Kumquat could discuss sensitive topics despite being marketed as a “relationship enhancer.” “I was shocked by how openly it addressed inappropriate content,” reported PIRG’s Teresa Murray. Before the report, parents, technology researchers and lawmakers had already raised concerns about the impact of bots on minors’ mental health. Experts highlight that children may form emotional bonds with bots without realizing they are not human. “Kids might expect unconditional support or prefer bots over real relationships,” warned Jacqueline Woolley of the University of Texas. Companies also collect children’s data without transparency (透明), increasing privacy risks.“Children may share deeply personal thoughts with toys lacking security measures,” said Franz. While acknowledging potential educational uses — like language learning — advocates urge caution. “AI toys shouldn’t be banned, but must prove safety through research before remaining on shelves,” Franz insisted. Following PIRG’s report, OllyAI halted production of the bear toys for a safety review. Meanwhile, 80 organizations, including Fairplay, advised families to avoid AI toys this season, emphasizing that traditional offline toys have well-documented benefits without the risks created by AI. Toy manufacturers responded defensively. Curro, maker of The Grotto, promised to investigate concerns while ensuring child safety. Mattel clarified its OpenAI products target “families and older audiences,” banning users under 13 and stressing AI as a “supplement, not replacement” for traditional play. Yet Franz questioned Mattel’s safeguards: “How will they prevent kids from accessing these products?” As AI integration expands in children’s products, the debate centers on balancing innovation with protection. Until studies confirm safety and ethical standards, critics argue caution — not convenience — should guide holiday gift choices. 8. What problem did the PIRG investigation find about the AI teddy bear? A. It promoted inappropriate physical activities for children. B. It failed to function properly during standard safety tests. C. It was found to be collecting personal financial information. D. It addressed subjects that differed from its intended function. 9. What does paragraph 3 focus on? A. The potential risks of traditional toys. B. The dangers AI toys might bring to kids. C. The lack of safety in most children’s toys. D. The way AI toys replace real friends for kids. 10. What does the underlined word “halted” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Suspended. B. Ignored. C. Opposed. D. Expanded. 11. What can be inferred from Mattel’s statement about its AI products? A. They plan to replace its traditional toys. B. They position AI as an optional addition. C. They admit AI toys cannot be educational. D. They believe the age restrictions are reliable. D Second place is just the first loser. While the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it doesn’t always lead to human flourishing and can create misery. Fortunately, there is a formula to solve this problem: instead of always going for gold, shoot for the bronze. Though second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner regarding happiness and longevity. In a 1995 study, scholars systematically coded the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. Using slow-motion footage captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台), researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists. Over 80% of bronze medalists exhibited genuine smiles, a figure that was nearly double that observed among silver medalists. Moreover, every bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than the average smile observed among the silver medalists. More recent research has looked at the life span of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study tracked the average longevity of those representing the U.S. in the Olympic Games from 1904 to 1936 and found that the athlete whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by four years, living to 76. But first prize in longevity went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation for this discrepancy: “Unsatisfactory competition outcomes may adversely affect health.” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists, whereas the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory shows the difference between upward and downward social comparison. When we compare ourselves with those who have more money, power, or achievements, we often feel like, well, losers. It tends to lower motivation and increase stress. In contrast, downward comparison makes people feel better about themselves and, thus, happier. The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. It tends to lower the intrinsic motivation, and thus enjoyment that people obtain from their activities. The principle at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. 12. What can be learned from the 1995 study? A. Silver medalists showed less happiness than bronze winners. B. Silver medalists’ smiling frequency was close to that of gold medalists. C. The average bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than every silver medalist’s. D. The emotions of both medalists were unchanged from the events to the podium. 13. What is the cause of the difference in medalists’ life span? A. The stress from downward social comparison. B. The motivation from upward social comparison. C. The effect of different types of social comparison. D. The failure to look up to the top after the competition. 14. What does the writer advise us to do to achieve happiness? A. Learn from the top performers. B. Try to be the best in every field. C. Commit to one’s consistent personal growth. D. Strengthen the motivation to obtain achievement. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Triumph of Coming in Third B. The Problem of Human Competition C. The Mechanism of Social Comparison D. The Psychology of the Olympic Medalists 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。 Are you able to cook a healthy meal? Are you able to manage your money well? Are you able to sew on a button? ___16___ This highlights a significant gap in modern education, which heavily prioritizes academic achievement and strict testing, often at the expense of practical life skills. Schools have done well in preparing us to be academic achievers in school, but may not have prepared us well enough in developing life skills. ___17___ For those without these basic skills, the pandemic lockdown was a rude shock. With restaurants closed and home services stopped, it would have been satisfying to cook a meal or fix a light bulb. It’s a shame that schools produce scholarly individuals who are unprepared for simple home tasks. ___18___ For example, financial management fosters responsibility and caution, while lessons on investment teach wealth growth. Equipped with this literacy, students can better discuss financial goals with parents, and budgeting knowledge can steer them away from overspending. Thus, in our complex world, schools must teach beyond academic subjects. After all, all the responsibility cannot be transferred to the home. The argument for parents teaching practical life skills overlooks modern realities. Many working parents lack the time, and some may not possess the proficiency themselves. ___19___. Sandra Carey, a writer, puts it appropriately: “Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.” School is not simply a place to pass knowledge and prepare us for a career. ___20___ A. Thus, a balanced approach is needed early on. B. For instance, many communities offer evening classes for adults. C. Instead, it equips us with the wisdom to construct a fulfilling life. D. Not many of us can confidently nod our heads to these questions. E. Consequently, the central role in bridging this gap must fall to our schools. F. By integrating practical skills, schools can teach a more complete set of life values. G. Yet practical skills such as cooking and housekeeping are essential in the real world. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In a remote village in Zambia, where roads seem to stretch endlessly before reaching the nearest town, a classroom is filled with the energy of its young learners.

Instead, she typed a question that had been pressing on her heart for weeks: ‌“Why won’t Grandma eat properly?” It was early January. After finishing her exams, Mira had returned to her hometown to spend some quiet days with her grandmother. The old woman had once been a legend — she’d worked as a tailor (裁缝), made dresses for half the village and saved enough to open her own shop. Time had taken its toll. Now her eyesight had dimmed, her fingers trembled, but she was still that legendary woman who lived on her own terms. Whenever someone ladled (用勺子舀) soup into her bowl, she would push it away, murmuring, ‌“I don’t need it. Save it for yourselves.” Every meal played out the same way. It broke Mira’s heart. Actually the family was doing well. There was plenty of food, plenty of love. So why did eating — a simple, everyday act — seem like a burden to her? She tried reasoning with her, but the more she talked, the more Grandma resisted. Until one day, in a moment of frustration, she blurted out, ‌“Grandma, you make me so sad when you act like this.” The old woman froze, then sighed. ‌“I’m over seventy. I won’t be around much longer. It doesn’t matter how I eat.” The words cut deep. Mira thought about taking her to a psychologist (心理医生) but knew she’d refuse. So she turned to an old companion, the AI. The response came quickly Grandma was refusing food because she felt like she no longer had a place in the family. The AI offered suggestions: Help her feel secure and needed. 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。 Paragraph 1: With AI’s assistance, Mira began her plan. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As meals became less of a battle, Mira decided to relight the sparkle in grandmother’s eyes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
