B At 22, Li Jiaqi has already been named a "young inheritor of intangible cultural heritage" in her hometown of Anji, Zhejiang Province, a place famous for its centuries-old bamboo weaving craft. Unlike many of her peers who chose to pursue office jobs in big cities after college, Li returned to her village to take up the bamboo strips that her grandmother had held for over 60 years. Li's connection with bamboo weaving started in childhood. She grew up watching her grandmother turn thin bamboo strips into delicate baskets, tea sets, and even decorative paintings. "When I was a kid, I thought it was just old-fashioned handicraft for daily use," Li recalled. It was not until she held a solo exhibition of her bamboo weaving works at her university in 2023 that she realized the charm of this craft could reach far beyond the mountain village. Her exhibition, which combined traditional bamboo weaving techniques with modern design elements, attracted wide attention. One of her most popular works, a bamboo woven lamp featuring the pattern of the West Lake, was collected by the Zhejiang Provincial Museum. However, the road to inheritance was not smooth. At first, many villagers doubted her choice, saying that a college graduate was "wasting her talent" on a "dying" craft. Instead of giving up, Li launched online live streams to teach bamboo weaving skills, and designed small, affordable creative products such as keychains and phone cases. Now, her accounts have over 200,000 followers, and her workshop has trained more than 50 young people from across the country. "Bamboo weaving is not just a craft from the past. It can keep up with the times as long as we give it new life," Li said. "I hope more young people will see the beauty of traditional Chinese culture through these thin bamboo strips." 4. Why did Li Jiaqi return to her hometown after college? A. To find a well-paid office job in her village. B. To inherit and promote the bamboo weaving craft. C. To hold an exhibition of her works at a local museum. D. To learn bamboo weaving from her grandmother. 5. What changed Li Jiaqi's opinion about bamboo weaving? A. Her grandmother's encouragement. B. The popularity of her works in the village. C. Her solo exhibition at the university. D. The collection of her work by the provincial museum. 6. What can we infer about Li Jiaqi from paragraph 3? A. She was not supported by all the villagers at first. B. Her works were widely recognized by museums nationwide. C. She met no difficulties in promoting the traditional craft. D. Her design was considered out of date by young people. 7. How did Li Jiaqi make bamboo weaving popular among young people? A. By holding offline exhibitions across the country. B. By teaching skills online and creating modern creative products. C. By cooperating with famous designers around the world. D. By setting up training courses in universities. C Coral reefs, often called the "rainforests of the sea", are home to more than 25% of marine species, yet they are facing an unprecedented crisis due to climate change, ocean acidification, and human activities. According to a 2025 report from the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network, half of the world's coral reefs have disappeared since 1950, and another 30% are at risk of extinction by 2030. However, a new study published in *Nature Communications* in July 2025 has brought new hope for coral reef restoration. The study, led by a team of scientists from the University of Queensland and the Australian Institute of Marine Science, has developed a new "coral seeding" technique that significantly increases the survival rate of young corals in the wild. Traditional coral restoration methods usually involve transplanting fully grown coral fragments onto damaged reefs, which is labor-intensive, costly, and has a survival rate of only around 30% in most cases. The new technique, by contrast, collects coral eggs and sperm during the annual coral spawning event, raises them into baby corals in a controlled laboratory environment, and then plants them onto damaged reefs using specially designed biodegradable carriers. These carriers, made from plant-based materials, can protect young corals from predators and ocean currents, while gradually breaking down in the water without causing pollution. After a 12-month field trial on the Great Barrier Reef, the research team found that the survival rate of corals planted with the new technique reached 78%, more than twice the rate of traditional methods. What's more, the corals grown with this method showed higher tolerance to rising ocean temperatures, a key factor in coral bleaching events. "Our technique solves two of the biggest problems in coral restoration: low survival rate and high cost," said Dr. Emma Harrison, the lead author of the study. "We can produce hundreds of thousands of baby corals at a much lower cost than before, and scale up the restoration work across entire reef systems." The research team is now working with local communities and environmental organizations to apply this technique to other damaged coral reefs around the world, with projects planned in Southeast Asia and the Caribbean in 2026. 8. What is the main problem facing coral reefs according to paragraph 1? A. They are losing their ability to support marine species. B. A large number of them are disappearing or at risk. C. Ocean acidification has made them completely uninhabitable. D. Human activities have replaced them with artificial reefs. 9. What is the disadvantage of traditional coral restoration methods? A. They can only be used on the Great Barrier Reef. B. They have a very low survival rate and high cost. C. They cause serious pollution to the ocean environment. D. They require a large number of fully grown corals. 10. What does the underlined word "spawning" in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Reproducing B. Feeding C. Migrating D. Hibernating 11. What can we learn about the new coral seeding technique from the text? A. It uses plastic carriers to protect young corals. B. It has been applied worldwide with great success. C. It improves coral survival rate and heat tolerance. D. It is more labor-intensive than traditional methods. D In an era dominated by short videos, 15-second social media posts, and endless digital notifications, deep reading – the slow, immersive practice of engaging with a long-form text – is often dismissed as an outdated habit. However, a growing body of research in cognitive science and education is warning that the decline of deep reading is taking a hidden toll on young people's intellectual and emotional development. According to a 2025 study by the American Psychological Association, the average attention span of teenagers has dropped from 12 seconds in 2010 to just 8 seconds in 2025, shorter than that of a goldfish. Researchers link this decline directly to the rise of "skimming culture", where people scan digital content for keywords instead of reading carefully. While skimming is a useful skill for processing large amounts of information quickly, it cannot replace the cognitive benefits of deep reading. Deep reading, unlike skimming, requires sustained focus and critical thinking. When we read a long, complex text, our brains are forced to make connections between ideas, follow logical arguments, and imagine scenarios described in the text. This process strengthens the brain's prefrontal cortex, the area responsible for decision-making, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. A 2024 study from Stanford University found that students who engaged in regular deep reading scored 23% higher on critical thinking tests than those who only read short digital content. Beyond cognitive benefits, deep reading also plays a vital role in developing empathy. When we read literary fiction, we step into the shoes of characters from different backgrounds, experience their emotions, and see the world through their eyes. This practice helps young people understand and relate to others, a skill that is increasingly important in an increasingly divided world. Critics of deep reading often argue that it is inefficient in the digital age, where information is abundant and time is limited. But this argument misses the point: deep reading is not just about absorbing information, but about building the cognitive and emotional capacity to understand, analyze, and care about the world around us. As Maryanne Wolf, a leading cognitive neuroscientist, once said: "We read not only to know what others have experienced, but to become the kind of people who can think deeply, feel deeply, and act wisely." 12. What is the main argument of the text? A. Skimming culture is more efficient than deep reading in the digital age. B. The decline of deep reading harms young people's development. C. Short videos and social media have improved people's attention span. D. Deep reading is an outdated habit for young people today. 13. What can we learn from the studies mentioned in the text? A. Teenagers' attention span has increased with the development of digital media. B. Skimming can significantly improve people's critical thinking ability. C. Regular deep reading helps improve students' critical thinking performance. D. Deep reading has no effect on people's emotional regulation ability. 14. Why does deep reading help develop empathy according to the text? A. It teaches readers how to express their emotions better. B. It allows readers to experience the lives and feelings of characters. C. It provides readers with more information about different cultures. D. It helps readers improve their communication skills with others. 15. What is the author's attitude towards the future of deep reading? A. Doubtful B. Optimistic C. Supportive D. Indifferent 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Lifelong learning is no longer just a nice-to-have skill, but a necessity in today's fast-changing world. With technology developing rapidly and industries transforming constantly, the ability to keep learning new things throughout your life is the key to staying competitive and fulfilled. 16 . Set clear, achievable learning goals. Many people give up on lifelong learning because they set goals that are too vague or too ambitious. Instead of saying "I want to learn a new language", break it down into specific, small steps: "I will learn 10 new words every day" or "I will finish one lesson per week". 17 This way, you can track your progress and stay motivated. 18 One of the biggest barriers to lifelong learning is the belief that you don't have enough time. The truth is, you don't need to spend hours every day learning. Even 15-20 minutes of consistent learning every day adds up to huge progress over time. You can listen to a podcast while commuting, read a book chapter during your lunch break, or watch an educational video before bed. Embrace a growth mindset. People with a fixed mindset believe that their abilities are unchangeable, so they avoid challenges and give up easily when they fail. 19 They see mistakes as opportunities to learn, and challenges as chances to grow. When you embrace a growth mindset, you won't be afraid to try new things, even if you're not good at them at first. Build a learning community. Learning with others can make the process more enjoyable and more effective. Join an online course, a local study group, or a community of people with the same learning interests. 20 You can share your progress, ask for help when you get stuck, and celebrate each other's achievements. A. Make learning a daily habit, not a chore. B. Here are some practical ways to develop lifelong learning habits. C. People with a growth mindset, however, believe that they can improve their abilities through effort. D. You can also find a learning partner to hold you accountable for your goals. E. Each small goal should be measurable and have a clear deadline. F. Learning a new skill can bring you a lot of happiness and a sense of achievement. G. It's important to choose the right learning method that suits you best. 第二部分 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。 Last summer, I, a 17-year-old high school student, joined a volunteer teaching program in a remote village in Guizhou Province.

The children taught me to be 30 for the small things in life, to be brave in the face of difficulties, and to never lose hope. When it was time for me to leave, the children gathered around me, crying and giving me hand-drawn pictures. I 31 them that I would come back to visit them. That summer, I didn't just 32 knowledge to the children; I built a lifelong connection with them, and found the 33 of volunteer work.

With technology developing rapidly and industries transforming constantly, the ability to keep learning new things throughout your life is the key to staying competitive and fulfilled. 16 . Set clear, achievable learning goals. Many people give up on lifelong learning because they set goals that are too vague or too ambitious. Instead of saying "I want to learn a new language", break it down into specific, small steps: "I will learn 10 new words every day" or "I will finish one lesson per week". 17 This way, you can track your progress and stay motivated. 18 One of the biggest barriers to lifelong learning is the belief that you don't have enough time. The truth is, you don't need to spend hours every day learning. Even 15-20 minutes of consistent learning every day adds up to huge progress over time. You can listen to a podcast while commuting, read a book chapter during your lunch break, or watch an educational video before bed. Embrace a growth mindset. People with a fixed mindset believe that their abilities are unchangeable, so they avoid challenges and give up easily when they fail. 19 They see mistakes as opportunities to learn, and challenges as chances to grow. When you embrace a growth mindset, you won't be afraid to try new things, even if you're not good at them at first. Build a learning community. Learning with others can make the process more enjoyable and more effective. Join an online course, a local study group, or a community of people with the same learning interests. 20 You can share your progress, ask for help when you get stuck, and celebrate each other's achievements. A. Make learning a daily habit, not a chore. B. Here are some practical ways to develop lifelong learning habits. C. People with a growth mindset, however, believe that they can improve their abilities through effort. D. You can also find a learning partner to hold you accountable for your goals. E. Each small goal should be measurable and have a clear deadline. F. Learning a new skill can bring you a lot of happiness and a sense of achievement. G. It's important to choose the right learning method that suits you best. 第二部分 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。 Last summer, I, a 17-year-old high school student, joined a volunteer teaching program in a remote village in Guizhou Province.
