In Queensland, a dog care institution is making waves thanks to its founder, dog trainer Jo Mcvilly. Driven by her love for pets and fellow humans, she started IronBark DogPark, which is more than a place for pets to play and serves as a career platform for the disabled individuals and at-risk youth. Because of its unique focus, it is blowing up online now.
The weekly roster (花名册) in IronBark DogPark features 63 dogs, including working dogs, older dogs, and what they call “playful teenagers”. Dogs receive professional attention, while those special participants also benefit from making friends, getting away from computer screens, and exploring new careers like human handlers and so on. Mcvilly works to help people with mental health challenges feel more connected, supported, and also find real purpose. “Although it is a sticky mission, we’re trying our best to create a space where everyone, regardless of their abilities, can build a future in animal care,” Mcvilly said excitedly, pointing out that the dogs play an important role in the project.
With the help of its online influence, Mcvilly and her team are working to build partnerships with sympathetic entrepreneurs and donors to further boost community goals, including tailored mental health and disability support. Like other small business owners with a changemaking calling, she understands that building strong bonds with more like-minded people is the most crucial step.
Up to now, Mcvilly has offered job opportunities to young people. For Amber, who has an acquired brain injury limiting her mobility, working with dogs is rewarding. “Coming here calms me down and makes me feel relaxed,” Amber says. Some participants even stay on to work at Mcvilly’s enterprise. Sage Conway-Keogh, a hard-of-hearing staff member, is now training to be a dog caregiver. “I’ve always loved animals, and now I am happy to get to work with them every day,” she shares.
4. What makes IronBark DogPark unique?
A. Career support for special groups. B. Mental health programs for youth.
C. Professional dog training services. D. Free medical care for dogs online.
5. What does the underlined word “sticky” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Noble. B. Special. C. Tough. D. Risky.
6. What is Mcvilly’s plan to advance her project?
A. To help more like-minded people. B. To broaden collaborative relations.
C. To follow other enterprise models. D. To enhance public health awareness.
7. How has the project helped participants?
A They have landed high-paying jobs. B. They have improved their wellbeing.
C. They have learned diverse life skills. D. They have gained public recognition.

For decades, computer science students have been taught a central skill: using computers to solve problems. In practice, that has meant programming or writing code to tell a machine how to perform tasks.
Now, generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT can write those programs themselves, producing code in much the same way they write essays. A student can ask ChatGPT to write a program that sorts a list of numbers and get a working answer in seconds. This new capability is transforming how computer scientists get work done. Even non-programmers suddenly have the ability to create their own software tools.
This may feel like a threat to some coders’ profession. It certainly marks a significant shift for computer scientists and those who educate them. The future of computer science education is to teach students how to master the skill of monitoring. Why? Because the speed and efficiency of using AI to write code is balanced by the reality that it often gets things wrong. These tools are designed to produce results that look convincing, but they may still contain errors. There is still a need for humans to play a role in coding — a monitoring one, in which programmers oversee the use of AI tools, determine if AI-generated code does what it is supposed to do and make repairs to faulty code.
But today’s computer science education still focuses on coding as the primary activity. And worryingly, some students are using AI tools to finish their assignments without learning or understanding how the code actually works. Most education doesn’t yet emphasize the skills critical for monitoring in programming. New developers with less than a year’s experience can actually be less efficient with AI tools than without, because they are missing critical skills and knowledge needed to evaluate and correct what the AI produces.
The rise of generative AI should sharpen our focus on what truly matters in computer science education: helping students develop the habits of mind that let them question, reason and apply judgment in a rapidly developing field. As the AI pioneer Herbert Simon once advised, “Learning results from what the student does and thinks, and only from what the student does and thinks.”
8. What can generative AI tools do in programming?
A. Teach students how to code. B. Take the place of experienced coders.
C. Produce code without errors. D. Write programs following instructions.
9. The author thinks computer science education should primarily develop students’ ability of ________.
A. coding or decoding speedily and efficiently B. programming or writing code to perform tasks
C. managing and correcting AI-generated code D. understanding and using AI tools independently
10. How does the author support his argument in paragraph 4?
A. By presenting facts. B. By clarifying a concept.
C. By providing statistics. D. By making a prediction.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?
A. To criticize the traditional teaching approaches.
B. To urge a change in computer science education.
C. To show AI tools cannot replace human teachers.
D. To emphasize the importance of efficient learning.
D
From taking quick shots for social media with a smartphone to patiently waiting for the perfect street moment with a film camera, photography has become part of everyday life. However, there is a common misunderstanding that mobile photography, compared to film photography, reduces creation to a shallow form of photographic note-taking rather than true art. This belief misses a core fact: these two media represent different ways of seeing and creating.
Psychology research offers insights into this. Professor Robert Epstein from Harvard University’s Visual Cognition Lab notes, “When we take photos with a phone, our brain is in a ‘rapid capture’ mode; whereas with a film camera, it enters a ‘deliberate composition’ state.” Functional MRI (核磁共振) studies have shown that when using a smartphone, areas of the brain linked to quick decision-making are more active. In contrast, when using a film camera, the networks related to sense of beauty and precise hand control show stronger connectivity.
Photography educator David Yorke explains: “With a film camera, you must think through everything before taking the picture — composition, exposure, timing. This forces you to slow down and truly learn to ‘see’.” However, it does not mean that mobile photography cannot produce true art. An experiment in a journal of visual research found that mobile users take an average of 15 times more photos per day than film users. This frequent practice enhances their ability to capture fleeting (转瞬即逝) moments. Documentary photographer Marina Chen shares this view: “Smartphones have made photography accessible to everyone. Sometimes, the energy in these moments is more valuable than carefully arranged shots.”
A truly mature photographer understands that artistic vision requires both: the quick response to the present and the discipline to compose with care. Mobile photography and film photography do not replace each other. Together, they enrich our visual expression and expand our capacity to see the world with clarity and imagination.
12. What is a common misunderstanding about mobile photography?
A. It lacks artistic depth.
B. It departs from daily life.
C. It misses digital creativity.
D. It blocks factual recording.
13. What can we learn about film and mobile photography from paragraph 2?
A. They need professional insight.
B. They depend on instant capture.
C. They involve distinct mental processes.
D. They reflect different controlling behaviors.
14. What ability does film photography develop according to David Yorke?
A. Visual sensitivity. B. Mindful observation.
C. Decisive response. D. Emotional engagement.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Brain Science Behind Photography
B. Beyond the Shallow, Reclaiming the Art
C. A Scientific Guide to Better Photography
D. Two Modes of Imaging, One Art of Creating

When was the last time you updated your résumé (简历)? If it’s been a while, you might have to give it a refresh. ____16____ Here’s some advice on how to write a résumé that’s both competitive and up-to-date.
A standard résumé typically begins with some key information at the top, such as your name and contact number. You don’t need to include your home address. Doing so might suggest you aren’t open to remote work opportunities. ____17____ Never underestimate how a shared academic interest can instantly build connection with the readers.
Adding a paragraph of three-to-five sentences summarizing your professional identity and career is crucial. ____18____ Use descriptive language to define your role, emphasize unique skills, and state career goals — ultimately showing how you plan to contribute to your field.
____19____ This acts as an enhanced digital version of your résumé, offering additional features. Hiring managers often search for candidates online before interviews. Providing this link makes it easier for them to access relevant details about your qualifications.
Résumé gaps aren’t unusual, but they should be handled thoughtfully. A few ways can help address these gaps, such as listing work history by year instead of month to cover shorter unemployment periods. If needed, unpaid community work and volunteer service during the gap should be included. For longer gaps, briefly explain them in your cover letter. ____20____
A. Besides, don’t forget to add your major.
B. The standard is constantly changing, after all.
C. This could significantly decrease your chances of being hired.
D. For a fuller professional picture, include a link to your profile.
E. If asked during an interview, discuss them honestly rather than avoid.
F. The best way to handle the gaps is by removing them from your résumé.
G. This section should clarify your expertise, strengths, and key achievements.

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。
It took only seconds to realize what had happened. My car had been hit by another vehicle as I was starting to exit the underground parking garage near my office.
When I got out to speak with the man who had just hit my car, he asked if I was okay. He looked quite concerned and started to apologize, his voice trembling slightly. “I am so sorry, ma’am. Are you okay?” To be truthful, I didn’t know what to say.
Not wanting to get into an argument with this stranger, I suggested we exchange our insurance information. Neither of us was injured, and the damage wouldn’t prevent us from driving our cars. I told the man my plan was to stop at the nearby police station to file a report and suggested he do the same.
While driving to the police station, I kept thinking about my bad luck that some ignorant guy sped down the lane behind the building where I parked my car. We both arrived. I complained about the accident to the police officer who was filing the report. Then the officer walked out to the parking lot with us to take a look at the damage to my car.
“Doesn’t look too bad, lady. Please come and collect the accident report in three days,” he said. Annoyed over the sudden trouble, I claimed $100 for the discomfort and inconvenience it caused. To my surprise, the man handed me the money without any protest. Before leaving, he murmured, “I hope you’re okay. Sometimes small accidents have hidden impacts. Reach out to me if you need anything else.”
Still angry the next day, I ignored the messages he sent me inquiring about my physical health. This anger went on for a couple of days until I received the official report informing us of the “Rules of the Road” related to exiting a parking garage. As drivers exiting the parking garage should give way to vehicles on the main road, I was found to be at fault. Besides, the police investigation proved that the guy did not exceed the speed limit. Recalling what I had done, I felt so ashamed.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I told myself that I must do something.

In Queensland, a dog care institution is making waves thanks to its founder, dog trainer Jo Mcvilly. Driven by her love for pets and fellow humans, she started IronBark DogPark, which is more than a place for pets to play and serves as a career platform for the disabled individuals and at-risk youth. Because of its unique focus, it is blowing up online now.
The weekly roster (花名册) in IronBark DogPark features 63 dogs, including working dogs, older dogs, and what they call “playful teenagers”. Dogs receive professional attention, while those special participants also benefit from making friends, getting away from computer screens, and exploring new careers like human handlers and so on. Mcvilly works to help people with mental health challenges feel more connected, supported, and also find real purpose. “Although it is a sticky mission, we’re trying our best to create a space where everyone, regardless of their abilities, can build a future in animal care,” Mcvilly said excitedly, pointing out that the dogs play an important role in the project.
With the help of its online influence, Mcvilly and her team are working to build partnerships with sympathetic entrepreneurs and donors to further boost community goals, including tailored mental health and disability support. Like other small business owners with a changemaking calling, she understands that building strong bonds with more like-minded people is the most crucial step.
Up to now, Mcvilly has offered job opportunities to young people. For Amber, who has an acquired brain injury limiting her mobility, working with dogs is rewarding. “Coming here calms me down and makes me feel relaxed,” Amber says. Some participants even stay on to work at Mcvilly’s enterprise. Sage Conway-Keogh, a hard-of-hearing staff member, is now training to be a dog caregiver. “I’ve always loved animals, and now I am happy to get to work with them every day,” she shares.
4. What makes IronBark DogPark unique?

For decades, computer science students have been taught a central skill: using computers to solve problems. In practice, that has meant programming or writing code to tell a machine how to perform tasks.
Now, generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT can write those programs themselves, producing code in much the same way they write essays. A student can ask ChatGPT to write a program that sorts a list of numbers and get a working answer in seconds. This new capability is transforming how computer scientists get work done. Even non-programmers suddenly have the ability to create their own software tools.
This may feel like a threat to some coders’ profession. It certainly marks a significant shift for computer scientists and those who educate them. The future of computer science education is to teach students how to master the skill of monitoring. Why? Because the speed and efficiency of using AI to write code is balanced by the reality that it often gets things wrong. These tools are designed to produce results that look convincing, but they may still contain errors. There is still a need for humans to play a role in coding — a monitoring one, in which programmers oversee the use of AI tools, determine if AI-generated code does what it is supposed to do and make repairs to faulty code.
But today’s computer science education still focuses on coding as the primary activity. And worryingly, some students are using AI tools to finish their assignments without learning or understanding how the code actually works. Most education doesn’t yet emphasize the skills critical for monitoring in programming. New developers with less than a year’s experience can actually be less efficient with AI tools than without, because they are missing critical skills and knowledge needed to evaluate and correct what the AI produces.
The rise of generative AI should sharpen our focus on what truly matters in computer science education: helping students develop the habits of mind that let them question, reason and apply judgment in a rapidly developing field. As the AI pioneer Herbert Simon once advised, “Learning results from what the student does and thinks, and only from what the student does and thinks.”
8. What can generative AI tools do in programming?
A. Teach students how to code. B. Take the place of experienced coders.
C. Produce code without errors. D. Write programs following instructions.
9. The author thinks computer science education should primarily develop students’ ability of ________.
A. coding or decoding speedily and efficiently B. programming or writing code to perform tasks
C. managing and correcting AI-generated code D. understanding and using AI tools independently
10. How does the author support his argument in paragraph 4?
A. By presenting facts. B. By clarifying a concept.
C. By providing statistics. D. By making a prediction.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?
A. To criticize the traditional teaching approaches.
B. To urge a change in computer science education.
C. To show AI tools cannot replace human teachers.
D. To emphasize the importance of efficient learning.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“And worryingly, some students are using AI tools to finish their assignments without learning or understanding how the code actually works. Most education doesn’t yet emphasize the skills critical for monitoring in programming. New developers with less than a year’s experience can actually be less efficient with AI tools than without, because they are missing critical skills and knowledge needed to evaluate and correct what the AI produces.(令人担忧的是,一些学生使用人工智能工具完成作业,却没有学习或理解代码的实际工作原理。大多数教育尚未强调编程中监督所需的关键技能。经验不足一年的新开发者使用人工智能工具实际上比不使用效率更低,因为他们缺少评估和修正人工智能所生成内容所需的关键技能和知识)”可知,作者通过呈现这些事实来支持自己的论点。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,尤其是最后一段中的“The rise of generative AI should sharpen our focus on what truly matters in computer science education: helping students develop the habits of mind that let them question, reason and apply judgment in a rapidly developing field.(生成式人工智能的兴起应该让我们更加关注计算机科学教育中真正重要的东西:帮助学生培养思维习惯,让他们在这个快速发展的领域中提出质疑、进行推理和运用判断)”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是呼吁计算机科学教育做出改变。故选B项。

From taking quick shots for social media with a smartphone to patiently waiting for the perfect street moment with a film camera, photography has become part of everyday life. However, there is a common misunderstanding that mobile photography, compared to film photography, reduces creation to a shallow form of photographic note-taking rather than true art. This belief misses a core fact: these two media represent different ways of seeing and creating.
Psychology research offers insights into this. Professor Robert Epstein from Harvard University’s Visual Cognition Lab notes, “When we take photos with a phone, our brain is in a ‘rapid capture’ mode; whereas with a film camera, it enters a ‘deliberate composition’ state.” Functional MRI (核磁共振) studies have shown that when using a smartphone, areas of the brain linked to quick decision-making are more active. In contrast, when using a film camera, the networks related to sense of beauty and precise hand control show stronger connectivity.
Photography educator David Yorke explains: “With a film camera, you must think through everything before taking the picture — composition, exposure, timing. This forces you to slow down and truly learn to ‘see’.” However, it does not mean that mobile photography cannot produce true art. An experiment in a journal of visual research found that mobile users take an average of 15 times more photos per day than film users. This frequent practice enhances their ability to capture fleeting (转瞬即逝的) moments. Documentary photographer Marina Chen shares this view: “Smartphones have made photography accessible to everyone. Sometimes, the energy in these moments is more valuable than carefully arranged shots.”
A truly mature photographer understands that artistic vision requires both: the quick response to the present and the discipline to compose with care. Mobile photography and film photography do not replace each other. Together, they enrich our visual expression and expand our capacity to see the world with clarity and imagination.
12. What is a common misunderstanding about mobile photography?
A. It lacks artistic depth.
B. It departs from daily life.
C. It misses digital creativity.
D. It blocks factual recording.
13. What can we learn about film and mobile photography from paragraph 2?
A. They need professional insight.
B. They depend on instant capture.
C. They involve distinct mental processes.
D. They reflect different controlling behaviors.
14. What ability does film photography develop according to David Yorke?
A. Visual sensitivity. B. Mindful observation.
C. Decisive response. D. Emotional engagement.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Brain Science Behind Photography
B. Beyond the Shallow, Reclaiming the Art
C. A Scientific Guide to Better Photography
D. Two Modes of Imaging, One Art of Creating
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D

细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, there is a common misunderstanding that mobile photography, compared to film photography, reduces creation to a shallow form of photographic note-taking rather than true art.(然而,有一种常见的误解,即与胶片摄影相比,手机摄影将创作简化为一种肤浅的摄影记录形式,而非真正的艺术)”可知,关于手机摄影的常见误解是它缺乏艺术深度。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Professor Robert Epstein from Harvard University’s Visual Cognition Lab notes, ‘When we take photos with a phone, our brain is in a ‘rapid capture’ mode; whereas with a film camera, it enters a ‘deliberate composition’ state.’ Functional MRI (核磁共振) studies have shown that when using a smartphone, areas of the brain linked to quick decision-making are more active. In contrast, when using a film camera, the networks related to sense of beauty and precise hand control show stronger connectivity.(哈佛大学视觉认知实验室的罗伯特·爱泼斯坦教授指出:“当我们用手机拍照时,大脑处于‘快速捕捉’模式;而用胶片相机时,大脑会进入‘刻意构图’状态。”功能性核磁共振研究表明,使用智能手机时,与快速决策相关的大脑区域更活跃。相比之下,使用胶片相机时,与美感和精确手部控制相关的神经网络连接更紧密)”可知,胶片摄影和手机摄影涉及不同的心理过程。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Photography educator David Yorke explains: ‘With a film camera, you must think through everything before taking the picture — composition, exposure, timing.

【36题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:中国长江,世界第三长河,从污染到保护的转变,为全球面临生态危机的主要河流提供了宝贵的经验。此处为句子谓语动词,全文主要介绍长江治理的现状和成效,时态为一般现在时;主语为The transformation,谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式。故填provides。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2025年9月26日发布的一份研究报告强调了中国长江治理的成效,其特点是系统且创新的方法。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰名词A research report,report与release之间为被动关系,需用过去分词形式。故填released。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:2025年9月26日发布的一份研究报告强调了中国长江治理的成效,其特点是系统且创新的方法。空格前有并列连词and,连接两个并列的形容词修饰名词approach,systematic为形容词,故此处需将innovate变为形容词形式innovative,意为“创新的”。故填innovative。

【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了从治标和治本两方面解决污染问题,中国推出了一系列措施,从恢复岸线到实施十年禁渔令。此处为非谓语动词作目的状语,强调“推出一系列措施”的目的是“解决污染的治标和治本问题”,需用动词不定式形式,句首首字母大写。故填To tackle。
【42题详解】

Planning a Meaningful Winter Vacation
The winter vacation offers a precious break from academic pressure, and it can be far more meaningful than mere relaxation. Several practical suggestions might help make the most of this holiday.
First of all, quality time with family deserves priority. Gatherings during the holiday are not only for meals but also for sharing stories. This helps us understand our roots and strengthen family bonds. Besides, it is also a good choice to take up a new hobby, such as learning calligraphy or practicing a musical instrument, thus bringing us both joy and a sense of achievement. Moreover, doing some volunteer work, like visiting nursing homes or helping clean the community, teaches us to care for others and develop a sense of responsibility.
A meaningful vacation balances adequate rest with substantial growth. By stepping out of our comfort zones, we will return to school with renewed energy and broader horizons. This winter can truly become a memorable chapter in our lives.

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。
It took only seconds to realize what had happened. My car had been hit by another vehicle as I was starting to exit the underground parking garage near my office.
When I got out to speak with the man who had just hit my car, he asked if I was okay. He looked quite concerned and started to apologize, his voice trembling slightly. “I am so sorry, ma’am. Are you okay?” To be truthful, I didn’t know what to say.
Not wanting to get into an argument with this stranger, I suggested we exchange our insurance information. Neither of us was injured, and the damage wouldn’t prevent us from driving our cars. I told the man my plan was to stop at the nearby police station to file a report and suggested he do the same.
While driving to the police station, I kept thinking about my bad luck that some ignorant guy sped down the lane behind the building where I parked my car. We both arrived. I complained about the accident to the police officer who was filing the report. Then the officer walked out to the parking lot with us to take a look at the damage to my car.
“Doesn’t look too bad, lady. Please come and collect the accident report in three days,” he said. Annoyed over the sudden trouble, I claimed $100 for the discomfort and inconvenience it caused. To my surprise, the man handed me the money without any protest. Before leaving, he murmured, “I hope you’re okay. Sometimes small accidents have hidden impacts. Reach out to me if you need anything else.”
Still angry the next day, I ignored the messages he sent me inquiring about my physical health. This anger went on for a couple of days until I received the official report informing us of the “Rules of the Road” related to exiting a parking garage. As drivers exiting the parking garage should give way to vehicles on the main road, I was found to be at fault. Besides, the police investigation proved that the guy did not exceed the speed limit. Recalling what I had done, I felt so ashamed.

【答案】参考范文
I told myself that I must do something. Since I was at fault, returning that $100 was the least I could do! Fortunately, I still had his earlier messages in my phone. Scrolling through my phone, I quickly found his number. Gathering my courage, I dialed it with trembling fingers. When he realized it was me, he sounded surprised yet concerned, asking whether I was okay. Overwhelmed with guilt about my rudeness, I stammered out the request for a meeting. He agreed warmly and we decided to grab a coffee at a cafe near my place.
The next afternoon, I arrived at the appointed cafe in advance. Soon, the man arrived with a relaxed expression, easing my awkwardness instantly. Pressing the money into his hands, I repeated my sincere apology. With my insistence, he took the money and kindly offered to buy me the coffee. Still ashamed yet curious, I asked why he wasn’t annoyed since it was my fault. A smile carried his words to me, “To forgive others is just to be kind to ourselves.” They landed so directly that I chuckled at the anger I had pointlessly clung to. With a lighter heart, I left the cafe, grateful for this gift of forgiveness.
