The son started to fly a kite.Soon,his kite 1 high up in the sky.The son said, "Father,it seems that the thread is holding up a kite from flying higher.If we cut off the thread,the kite will be2 and will go flying even higher.Can we cut it off?"So,the father cut the thread from a roller.The kite started to go a little higher.That made the son very3. But then,slowly,the kite started to come down.And soon it fell down on the terrace of the unknown building.The young son was surprised asked his father,"Father,I thought that after cutting off the thread,the kite could freely fly higher.But why did it fall down?" The father explained,"Son,at the4 of life that we live in,we often think there are some things we are tied to and that they are5 us from going higher.The thread was not holding the kite from going higher,but it was helping it stay higher when the wind slowed down and when the wind6,you helped the kite go up higher in a proper direction through the thread.And when we cut the thread,it fell down without the7 you were providing for the kite through the thread."The son realized his mistake. Sometimes we feel that we can8 quickly and reach new heights if we were not tied up with our family,our home.But we 9 to realize that our family,our loved ones help us survive the tough time in our lives with their support and encourage us to reach higher heights in life.They are not10 us,but are supporting us.Never let go of them. 1.A.arrived B.reached C.returned D.left 2.A.free B.light C.tight D.loose 3.A.upset B.anxious C.happy D.depressed 4.A.weight B.place C.height D.quality 5.A.preventing B.banning C.protecting D. tracking 6.A.raised up B.set up C.speeded up D. put up 7.A.trust B.evidence C.flight D.support 8.A.progress B.attach C.absorb D.propose 9.A.promise B.attempt C.happen D.fail 10.A.bullying B.laughing C.holding D.pushing 1 第二节（共10小题：每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词，在给出 提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 A The "loong",commonly referred to as the Chinese dragon,is a legendary creature,deeply embedded in Chinese culture,mythology,and folklore.Unlike its Western counterpart,_1.__is often portrayed as a malevolent and destructive force,the loong symbolizes power,excellence, good fortune,and harmony in Chinese traditions.It is revered as a national totem and-is often associated with natural phenomena such as/rain,storms,and water,._flect)is role as a bringer of life and prosperity.The loong13 (be)a central motif in Chinese civilization for thousands of years influencing art,literature,festivals,and cultural practices.Its enduring significance14(continue)to captivate people worldwide,making it a symbol of Chinese heritage and cultural pride. B The best way to create lasting change in your lite is through habits.Habits keep you going even when motivation fades.The key15 success is to start small and stay consistent.Big goals lead to burnout,so begin with tiny, _manage)actions-like a short daily walk instead of a full run.Once these simple habits become automatic,you can gradually build more. Over time,these small changes layer together to shape your lifestyle,turning actions into part of you are.The real power lies in steady,natural growth,making long-term progress easier. C We usually link wisdom to age,.time alone doesn't bring it -experience may boost judgment but also breed prejudice or overconfidence.Unlike intelligence or expertise, wisdom is hard19(iduitify):it shows in hesitation,silence and cautious inaction instead of decisive words and deeds.Philosophers across ages all valued wisdom as rational practice in reality rather than abstract brilliance.Modern life urges quick decisions and confident speech,contrary to wisdom's demand for pause,revision and ackeptance ot reality.1hough wisdom is quiet,belatedly recognized,we should pursue it.for life(ive)forward while understood backward. 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，38分) 第一节（共14小题；每小题2分，共28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，并在答题卡上 将该项涂黑。 A Expecting to travel abroad but lacking a loose budget?Interested in meaningful volunteering programs but worried about issues like your security or working conditions?Here comes a right place for you一Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary(保护区).

D.An educational website B My father loved lists.Over 25 years,he recorded 539 books he read and 322 episodes of Booknotes on C-SPAN,which he watched every Sunday night.He also kept grocery lists for his mini-fridge-Pepsi,coffee,heavy cream-and daily tasks.These notes filled small notebooks, always near his reading chair.He wrote them until December 31,2004,when cancer stopped him. After his death,I gathered the notebooks into a box.For years,I couldn't bear to open them. Bom in 1927 in Lowell,Massachusetts,my father was the son of a leather factory worker and grandson of an Irish immigrant who cleaned horse manure from the streets.Despite his humble beginnings,he was brilliant.After a summer in the leather factory,he graduated high school at 16 and went on to Boston College.He served in World War Il and later earned degrees in physics. 3 Then he worked at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory,moved his family from Lowell to Boston,and sent his kids to private colleges.It seemed he had left Lowell behind-but not so.Deep down,he saw himself simply as a working-class Lowell kid who had just read a lot of books. He didn't travel much,and didn't feel the need.When I asked if he regretted not seeing the world,he defended himself:"I've sailed the Atlantic in stormy winds,climbed the Himalayas,and stared down wild animals."Then he added,"I read."Books were his world.From them,he leamed to survive landslides,shark attacks,and even gorilla attacks.He had what he called"a rich inner life" —and it was true. Shortly before his death,he opened a small purple notebook and began one last list.It described details from 1930s Lowell-things lost in time.Twenty years later,I found it.In his flowing handwriting,Dad reached back to Lowell-a time long gone,now captured only in memory.Lost and only in memory-that was how I was experiencing Dad now.Squinting my eyes,I saw not just the city he loved,but the quiet,extraordinary man I called Dad. 24.Why are the details of the father's lists mentioned in Paragraph 1? A.To imply his fear of forgetting.B.To show his love for literature and cuisine. C.To reveal his reliance on control.D.To reflect his ordered and thoughtful life. 25.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? A.He stayed humble and rooted.B.He struggled with his identity. C.His success originated from his raots.-D He felt torn about his background. 26.What do the father's quotes in Para.3 mainly reveal? A.His dream of global travel. B.His pride in inner journeys. C.His desire for real adventure. D.His escape from physical world. 27.What is the main theme of the passage? A.Pursuit and action. B Loss and regret. C Ambition and escape. D.Memory and identitv C Predictive coding,a theory originally developed in neuroscience and machine learning,is changing our understanding of the human brain.It proposes that the brain is not a simple receiver of sensory information but an active "prediction machine".Instead of processing every detail from the beginning,our brains constantly make models of the world and guess what we will see,hear,or feel next.The differenoe between these predictions and the actual sensory input -termed the "prediction error-is the only information the brain needs to change its internal models.This efficient system explains why we can easily recognize a friend's face in a crowd or understand a sentence even with background noise. However,this smart efficiency comes with cognitive trade-offs.A core idea of predictive coding is that perception is in its nature a controlled false image,heavily shaped by what we already believe.This can lead to built-in biases.For instance,in a famous experiment,participants shown a not clear image of a bicycle were later more likcly to wrongly recognize similar but not present objects like unicycles,because their brain's prediction-based on the common idea "wheeled vehicle"-was stronger than the unclear sensory data.Such findings challenge the simple view of perception as an objective camera,suggesting instead that what we "see"is a best guess made by our neural system. The effects go beyond optical illusions(视觉幻觉)into social cognition.Research shows that 4 stereotypes and cultural expectations work as powerful prior beliefs within the predictive coding system.When we meet someone from a group we have ideas about,our brain may reduce prediction errors by ignoring information that goes against our expectations,thereby making stronger pre-existing biases.This neural way of working provides a physical basis for"confirmation bias,"showing how our search for cognitive efficiency can accidentally continue social misunderstandings. Importantly,the brain's predictive system is not a fixed fate..Neuroplasticity(神经可塑性) makes sure that with continued,attention-driven contact to new and opposite evidence,the brain's models can be changed.This is the scientific basis of learning and mindfulness practices.By purposely paying attention to prediction errors-those moments when reality surprises us-we can make our internal models change,leading to more correct perceptions and less prejudice.Thus, predictive coding not only explains the beginnings of our biases but also shows a way toward overcoming them,describing the mind as a changing,changeable system rather than a fixed recorder of reality. 28.According to the predictive coding theory,the primary function of the"prediction error"is to A.generate entirely new sensory models from scratch B.create persistent illusions that dominate our perception C.act as the main source of sensory information the brain receives D.serve as the only signal for the brain to correct its internal predictions 29.The experiment involving the unclear bicycle image is mentioned to Hlustate A the superiority of human visual processing B.how prior beliefs can change perceptual judgment C.the difficulty in recognizing uncommon objects D.the complete unreliability of human senses 30.Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage? A.Prediction and Perception:How the Brain Constructs Reality B The Passive Brain:A Receiver of Information C.The End of Stereotypes:A Neuroscience Perspective D.Sensory Overload:The Brain's Processing Challenge 0 Public distrust of scientists has developed partly from the blurring of boundaries between science and technology,between discovery and manufacture.Most governments,perhaps all governments,justify public spending on scientific research in terms of the economic benefits the scientific enterprise has brought in the past and will bring in the future.Politicians remind their voters of the splendid machines "our scientists"have invented,the new drugs to relieve old disorders,and the new surgical equipment and techniques by which previously unmanageable conditions may now be treated and lives saved.At the same time,the politicians demand of scientists that they tailor their research to "economics needs",and that they give higher priority to research proposals that are "near the market"and can be translated into the greatest return on anvestment in the shortest-time.Dependent on politicians tor much of'their lunding,scientists have little choice but to comply.Like the rest of us,they are members of a society that rates the creation 5 of wealth as the greatest possible good.Many have reservations,but keep them to themselves in what they consider as a climate hostile to the pursuit of understanding for its own sake and the idea of an inquiring,creative spirit. In such circumstances no one should be too hard on people who are suspicious of conflicts of interest.When we learn that the distinguished professor assuring us of the safety of a particular product holds a consultancy with the company making it,we cannot be blamed for wondering whether his fee might cloud his professional judgment.Even if the professor holds no consultancy with any firm,some people may still distrust him because ot his association with those who do,or at least wonder about the source of some of his research funding This attitude can have damaging effects.It questions the inegrity of individuals working in a profession that honors intellectual honesty as the supreme virtue,and plays into the hands of those who would like to discredit scientists by representing them as corruptible.This makes it easier to dismiss all scientific pronouncements,but especially those made by the scientists who present themselves as "experts".The scientist most likely to understand the safety of a nuclear reactor,for example,is a nuclear engineer,and a nuclear engineer is most likely to be employed by the nuclear industry.If a nuclear engineer declares that a reactor is unsafe,we believe him,because clearly it is not to his advantage to lie about it.If he tells us it is safe,on the other hand,we distrust him, because he may well be protecting the employer who pays his salary. 31.What is the chief concern of most governments when it comes to scientific research? A.The reduction of public expenditure. B.Quick economic retums. C.The budget for a research project. D.Support from the voters 32.Why won't scientists complain about the government's policy concemning scientific research? A.They realize they work in an environment hostile to the pure pursuit of knowledge. B.They think compliance with goverment policy is in the interests of the public. C.They are accustomed to keeping their opinions to themselves D.They know it takes patience to win support from the public. 33.People are suspicious of the professional judgment of scientists l ecause_ A their pronouncements often turn out to be wrong B.some of them do not give priority to intellectual honesty C.sometimes they hide the source of their research funding D they could be influenced by their link with the project concerned 34.The author says that public distrust of scientists can have damaging effects because. A.it may wear out the enthusiasm of scientists for independent research B.scientists themselves may doubt the value of their research findings C.people will not believe scientists even when they tell the trut D.it makes things difficult for scientists to seek research funds 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将 该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The anxiety about the consequences of generative AI is mounting.Kristalina Georgieva,head of IMF,has warned of a job-crushing "tsunami".Jamie Dion,a leading figure in American finance, says governments should ban lay-offs if it"saves society". Yet so far labor markets seem untroubled.In America the number of white-collar jobs has gone up by 3.million since ChatGPT was launched,while blue-collar jobs have stayed flat. It excels at some tasks but then confidently spouts nonsense in others.This unpredictability means companies need to spend time working out where to apply Al.Moreover,business processes don't change overnight.Electricity was first harnessed commercially in the 1880s,but took 40 to 50 years to generate productivity gains in factories.36_ This friction should be good news for those worrying about the speed of technological change. The time intervals between invention and diffusion can be used to work out how to help those most at the risk of being displaced. AI tools could make these roles more productive,profitable and even more enjoyable: think of a doctor liberated from paperwork.And new technology tends to create jobs.Already there is a rise in white-collar jobs that are so new they have no label in the statistics.Yet some roles also look dangerously exposed to automation.Much back-office work involves simple tasks and following a script.Young people in entry-level positions are often asked to crunch data,or summarize reports-precisely the sort of things AIs excel at. What to do?Unlike factory work.or mining,back-office and entry-level jobs are not concentrated in company towns.3 But governments must also encourage movement by keeping labor markets flexible,rather th an barring lay-offs.Education will need a major update to include Al instruction and the complementary skills it demands. The biggest mistake would be to stop hiring young people altogether.That would choke off the pipeline for future talent and rob businesses of AI natives.30 They should provide fewer repetitive,low-skill tasks and more work centered on judgment and critical analysis.They should also offer speedier rotations across the business so young employees gain insights that Al cannot replicate. Disruption and job losses will be unavoidable.Such is the nature of technological progress. But there is still time to cushion the blow.It should not be wasted. A.The course of AI is uncertain,obviously. B.New opportunities should therefore be easier to find. C.One reason for the slow impact of AI technology is its "uneven skill set" D.Instead,companies should rethink the type of work they offer young people. E Many jobs require skills that are hard to automate,such as judgment or empathy F. Employment has risen even in areas that have been keen adopters,such as coding. G.This time,too,companies must think about how to encourage workers to use Al and mitigate the problems it poses. 第三部分书面表达（共两节，32分) 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 With society's high pressures to achieve,it's understandable that individuals prefer to hide their weak points-but doing so comes at a cost. I learned that lesson when I participated in a hiking expedition.As a new hiker,I struggled. The trip was difficult to me even without needing to carry my heavy camping packs.I was slowed down,yet I refused to tell my teammates in hopes that I would seem perseverant.To my delight and surprise,one of the more active members requested that we stop for a break.I quickly realized I 7 wasn't the only ene hiding my-weaknesses after noticing the rest of the team's apparent relief. For'many of us,authenticity,or behaving as one's true self in daily [ife,is quite challenging. As social beings,we have learned to adapt and fit into our environment,making it challenging to display who we are 'at times.Yet,the advantage of authenticity is evident,driving its recent popularity among thought Teaders.Authenticity even improved my hiking experience-the moment my group admitted to our shortcomings was when we started working better as a team.So.can being ourselves not only help us work better,but help those who work around us? The truth is,it can. Researchers have found that not only did authentic workers have higher work engagement and lower work fatigue,but their teammates had the same results,regardless of whether they were genuine themselves.The results suggest that the benefits of authenticity go beyond the individual, and spread to teammates as well.So,we can improve our teammates'work behavior by merely being ourselves. Why does authenticity boost our teammates?This is becaus:authentic teammates do not prioritize protecting themselves at the cost of their work or relationships.Instead,they recognize the interests of both themselves and others when making decisions.This allows those they work with io feel safe.By focusing less on appearing hard-working in hopes to get ahead-and more on trying to be better all-round individuals-authentic teammates can make a great impact on their work environment 40.How did the author feol when one team member-asked-for a-rest-during the hiking? 41.Why is it hard for people to display ther true selves? 42.Decide which part of the following statement is wrong.Underline it and explain why. Authenticity boosts our teammates because authentic members feel safe while at work. 43.Apart from what is mentioned in the passage,what other benefit(s)do you think authenticity can bring to us?(In about 40 words) 第二节(20分) 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你的英国笔友J在来信中提到，他对你们在寒假期 间进行的“分组学习”(group study)很感兴趣。请你给他写一封回信，内容包括： 1.介绍你们分组学习的具体情况（如小组构成、学习方式等)： 2.谈谈你的个人收获或感受 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.题目已给出，不计入总词数。 (请务必将作文写在答题卡指定区域内) 8
