The following are some of the strangest jobs in the world. Let’s have a look at them together.
Part-Time Tree Climber
If you’re not afraid of climbing up trees and cutting the branches then this job might be perfect for you. You actually can work according to your own schedule. The part-time tree climber job could end up turning into a real full-time job. This might also be a great way to stay in good shape and work on those muscles.
Fake (假的) Office Worker
This is not an April Fool’s Day joke. One company fired several of their employees. However, in order to look good when certain clients came into the office they hired fake office workers. All they had to do was to just look busy at their desks and act like they knew exactly what they were doing. The amazing thing about this job is that they were paid US 15 an hour for being fake office workers!
Mermaid (美人鱼) for a Birthday Party
If you love mermaids or do not mind dressing up as one for a birthday party then this job might be good for you. Some women are looking for a mermaid at a July party and they actually pay US $ 150 for at least three hours. If it is needed, the costume will be provided for this job.
Back Scratcher (挠背器/者)
If you don’t want to buy a cheap back scratcher, you might want to hire someone to do it for you. Having a job as a back scratcher might sound easy enough, but actually it is not. You never know when you might accidentally hit that ache in a person’s back and cause him pain.

There comes a time for every family when the tables turn and the parent has to answer to the child. Mine came recently when my wife and I stayed with our elder son in Los Angeles. A whole week under his roof!
“Dad, don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth,” Nathaniel told me seriously on our first night. I grabbed extra paper towels to wipe the kitchen counter and was instructed to use the dishcloth. Not to leave my ugly walking shoes sitting out. Don’t wear a neck warmer when walking the dogs in the morning — it will warm up when we get to the park. Why drink so much sparkling water? And do you have to take a shower before we drive to Topanga?
At first I wondered how I’d raised an awkward son. Then I remembered how often I threw the golden rule of parenting at Nathaniel and his siblings when they were young. “Someday, you’ll have a home of your own and can live however you want,” I’d say. “Until then, you’ll have to do as we ask.” And so I smilingly did as Nathaniel said, but with a touch of playfulness, like hiding a separate roll of paper towels into the storeroom, or moving one of his favorite photographs a few inches.
There were perks to playing beta to Nathaniel’s alpha. He cleaned dishes after dinner. He also set our daily outings. And he willingly drove everywhere, sparing me the pain of Los Angeles traffic.
We were walking along El Matador Beach our last afternoon and hit an extended patch of rocks — clearly the end of the line. Nathaniel guided me across one large stone to the next, patiently telling me where to place my feet and hands as ocean waves came close. I was frightened, but after a couple hundred yards we made it to a fresh sandy stretch. “You did it! I’m really proud,” he said. It was then that I knew for sure that the son also rises to fatherhood.
24.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.Nathaniel’s various rules. B.The father’s unhealthy lifestyles.
C.Parent-child arguments. D.The father’s forgetfulness.
25.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 imply?
A.Nathaniel could make detailed plans. B.Listening to Nathaniel brought benefits.
C.Tricking Nathaniel made the author enjoyable. D.Nathaniel had to address many problems.
26.According to the last paragraph, what is an important quality to be a father?
A.Selfless. B.Peaceful. C.Adventurous. D.Encouraging.
27.What does the author’s experience show?
A.Do as the Romans do. B.Practice makes perfect.
C.East or west, home is the best. D.The student becomes the teacher.
C
For anyone connected with a school, the last couple of weeks should have been a pile-up of plays, choir performances, and talent shows. But a report found, alarmingly, that 53% of primaries and 63% of secondaries that normally hold a festive concert at the end of the first term did not do so.
It is deeply troubling that music is no longer being taught to 11-to-14-year-olds in more than half of state secondaries. And some children get as little as one day of music lesson a year. If this situation is allowed to continue, music-making will become the preserve of those who can afford it. And the intense competition for better academic performance has only sped up this trend. A survey published this month of more than 1, 300 music teachers found that a third of British primary schools are not singing, while a quarter have ceased instrumental lessons. Almost three-quarters of primary and two-thirds of secondary schools have cancelled extracurricular music. Though a sharp decline of music provision is due to various social factors, Ofsted appeared to put this down to schools themselves, rather than pointing the finger at the government’s silence to educators’ appeal.
This is very sad and shortsighted. On the most basic level, music aids academic achievement. Research suggests that music-making improves speech and literacy. But academic progress is too narrow a standard of success. In her book, Joan Koenig argues that music is fundamental to a well-functioning society. Besides that, music-making nurtures sympathy and belonging. “People stand a much better chance of finding meaning and happiness in their lives if they feel that they belong,” as Koenig puts it. “Studies show that group musical practice can create and enhance this feeling. It is when people don’t have a sense of belonging that things go wrong.”
In this time of uncertainty and fear, ensuring that all children can access music-making is a cause deserving meaningful support and attention from ministers.
28.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.Educators are appealing for investment. B.Schools merely value academic achievements.
C.Music lessons are nearly absent from classrooms. D.Parents cannot afford students’ music lessons.
29.According to Ofsted, who is to blame for the affected music provision?
A.The schools. B.The educators. C.The government. D.The researchers.
30.What does the underlined word “nurtures” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Promotes. B.Deserves. C.Symbolizes. D.Worsens.
31.What does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph?
A.Music education is optional. B.Music education calls for backup.
C.Music-making is tough. D.Music-making makes sense.
D
As new technologies, including AI, are becoming popular, they promise to change learning for the better.
Already, there are AI-based tutoring (辅导) tools that can help learners. One 2024 study, led by the University of Oxford, found that school students in Ghana who used an AI-powered maths tutor through WhatsApp for half an hour, twice a week, over eight months had “higher” maths progress scores than those in a control group.
“Until now, professional, personalised tutoring has been too expensive for people,” points out Joseph South, chief innovation officer at the International Society for Technology in Education. “AI-powered tutors can offer this experience for online learners at a low price.”
However, there are still possible problems to solve. AI can present untrue things as fact, which could mean students might “learn” incorrect information. Similarly, AI can develop biases (偏见) based on the data (数据) used to train it, and possibly pass them on to learners. In addition, experts warn that any educational institution (机构) needs to have strict rules on what student personal information can be put into AI tools, to reduce privacy risks.
But, to some, the biggest risk is to the learning process. “As students increasingly depend on AI tools, they may use them as quick answers, which will hurt their ability to learn basic learning skills,” says Emily Deleu, assistant teaching professor of business management communication at Carnegie Mellon University. “Is that good for them in the long term?” she asks. “This is still an open question.”
To protect students, she suggests “we need government rules to give advice to schools.” And she adds, “The biggest risk of all with AI is doing nothing. The world has changed and is changing. We should change how we teach and what we teach to welcome AI.”
32.What does the 2024 study show about AI-powered tutoring tools?
A.They can help develop students’ interest in maths.
B.They can increase competition among students.
C.They can help students improve their grades.
D.They can shorten students’ study time.
33.What does Joseph South think of AI-powered tutoring tools?
A.They will reduce the need for teachers in online learning.
B.They can make personalised tutoring affordable for most people.
C.They will pass some biases on to learners.
D.They may present fiction as fact.
34.What do experts want educational institutions to do?
A.Bring in more professional teachers.
B.Develop more AI-powered tutoring tools.
C.Help students develop their own opinions.
D.Try to protect students’ private information.
35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Will AI Change Education for the Better?
B.Can AI Help Students Learn Important Skills?
C.Are AI Tools Expensive for Learners?
D.What Can AI Tools Help Teachers Do?

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。
It has been shown that watching English movie trailers(预告片) can improve your English vocabulary and thinking skills. 36
The first step is to find them. Go to YouTube and do a search for something like “official trailer”. Several film trailers will appear. 37 Animated films can be an especially good choice for English practice no matter how old you are. These films are usually humorous and relatable. To find animated films, try doing a search for something like “animated official trailer”.
Make sure the video you choose offers closed captions(字幕), which you will use later. You can find the closed caption mark at the bottom of the video. It may be listed as “CC” or something else. Keep in mind that trailers more than five or seven years old may not offer closed captions on YouTube. 38
Next, watch the video at a normal speed without closed captions. Try to understand what the story is about overall. Then watch it again to seek more details. 39 It will give you an idea of whether the dialogue is too fast or difficult for your skill level.
40 Find the “CC” setting at the bottom of the video and click the captions. This can help you in several ways. You can confirm whether you understand the dialogue in your first viewing, make clearer any dialogue you do not understand, and connect the sound of words with their spellings. You can also write down a few of the new words in a notebook or on your mobile phone.
A.So choose newer videos.
B.You can choose some that look interesting.
C.They may sound a little strange at a slower speed.
D.With this method, you are testing your English skills.
E.Then watch the video again, this time with closed captions.
F.Besides, try using your notebook as you learn English in your everyday life.
G.Now let's talk about steps you can take to get the most out of watching them.

David loved writing. When the school announced an English writing competition, David was eager to participate. He worked hard on his entry, believing it was his chance to prove himself. However, when the results were announced, David’s name wasn’t there. He felt a deep sense of disappointment and frustration, as if all his hard work had been in vain.
After the competition, David felt too embarrassed to talk about his failure. He spent days in his room, avoiding everyone. His former imagination seemed to have dried up, and he couldn’t find the motivation to write anymore. It felt like a part of him had been destroyed.
One afternoon, as David sat in his room, his English teacher, Mr. Carter, came to visit. Mr. Carter was a kind and encouraging teacher who had always believed in David s potential. He had noticed David’s absence in class and decided to check in on him.
“Hey, David,” Mr. Carter said gently. “I heard about the competition. I’m really sorry you didn’t win, but I know how much effort you put into it. You should be proud of yourself for trying.” David looked down, feeling defeated. “I just don’t get it, Mr. Carter,” he said quietly. “I worked so hard, but it wasn’t enough. I feel like I’m never going to be good enough.”
Mr. Carter sat down next to David and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder., He said, “David, writing is not just about winning competitions. It’s about expressing yourself and sharing your ideas. Sometimes, even the best writers don’t win. But that doesn’t mean they’re not good. It just means they need to keep trying and learning.”
With Mr. Carter’s encouragement, David began to analyze his writing. They discussed the strengths and weaknesses of his entry, and Mr. Carter offered valuable suggestions. David started to feel more confident and motivated. He realized that failure was just a part of the learning process.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Over the next few weeks, David threw himself back into his writing.

This is not an April Fool’s Day joke. One company fired several of their employees. However, in order to look good when certain clients came into the office they hired fake office workers. All they had to do was to just look busy at their desks and act like they knew exactly what they were doing. The amazing thing about this job is that they were paid US 15 an hour for being fake office workers!

There comes a time for every family when the tables turn and the parent has to answer to the child. Mine came recently when my wife and I stayed with our elder son in Los Angeles. A whole week under his roof!
“Dad, don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth,” Nathaniel told me seriously on our first night. I grabbed extra paper towels to wipe the kitchen counter and was instructed to use the dishcloth. Not to leave my ugly walking shoes sitting out. Don’t wear a neck warmer when walking the dogs in the morning — it will warm up when we get to the park. Why drink so much sparkling water? And do you have to take a shower before we drive to Topanga?
At first I wondered how I’d raised an awkward son. Then I remembered how often I threw the golden rule of parenting at Nathaniel and his siblings when they were young. “Someday, you’ll have a home of your own and can live however you want,” I’d say. “Until then, you’ll have to do as we ask.” And so I smilingly did as Nathaniel said, but with a touch of playfulness, like hiding a separate roll of paper towels into the storeroom, or moving one of his favorite photographs a few inches.
There were perks to playing beta to Nathaniel’s alpha. He cleaned dishes after dinner. He also set our daily outings. And he willingly drove everywhere, sparing me the pain of Los Angeles traffic.
We were walking along El Matador Beach our last afternoon and hit an extended patch of rocks — clearly the end of the line. Nathaniel guided me across one large stone to the next, patiently telling me where to place my feet and hands as ocean waves came close. I was frightened, but after a couple hundred yards we made it to a fresh sandy stretch. “You did it! I’m really proud,” he said. It was then that I knew for sure that the son also rises to fatherhood.
24.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.Nathaniel’s various rules. B.The father’s unhealthy lifestyles.
C.Parent-child arguments. D.The father’s forgetfulness.
25.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 imply?
A.Nathaniel could make detailed plans. B.Listening to Nathaniel brought benefits.
C.Tricking Nathaniel made the author enjoyable. D.Nathaniel had to address many problems.
26.According to the last paragraph, what is an important quality to be a father?
A.Selfless. B.Peaceful. C.Adventurous. D.Encouraging.
27.What does the author’s experience show?
A.Do as the Romans do. B.Practice makes perfect.
C.East or west, home is the best. D.The student becomes the teacher.

For anyone connected with a school, the last couple of weeks should have been a pile-up of plays, choir performances, and talent shows. But a report found, alarmingly, that 53% of primaries and 63% of secondaries that normally hold a festive concert at the end of the first term did not do so.
It is deeply troubling that music is no longer being taught to 11-to-14-year-olds in more than half of state secondaries. And some children get as little as one day of music lesson a year. If this situation is allowed to continue, music-making will become the preserve of those who can afford it. And the intense competition for better academic performance has only sped up this trend. A survey published this month of more than 1, 300 music teachers found that a third of British primary schools are not singing, while a quarter have ceased instrumental lessons. Almost three-quarters of primary and two-thirds of secondary schools have cancelled extracurricular music. Though a sharp decline of music provision is due to various social factors, Ofsted appeared to put this down to schools themselves, rather than pointing the finger at the government’s silence to educators’ appeal.
This is very sad and shortsighted. On the most basic level, music aids academic achievement. Research suggests that music-making improves speech and literacy. But academic progress is too narrow a standard of success. In her book, Joan Koenig argues that music is fundamental to a well-functioning society. Besides that, music-making nurtures sympathy and belonging. “People stand a much better chance of finding meaning and happiness in their lives if they feel that they belong,” as Koenig puts it. “Studies show that group musical practice can create and enhance this feeling. It is when people don’t have a sense of belonging that things go wrong.”
In this time of uncertainty and fear, ensuring that all children can access music-making is a cause deserving meaningful support and attention from ministers.
28.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.Educators are appealing for investment. B.Schools merely value academic achievements.
C.Music lessons are nearly absent from classrooms. D.Parents cannot afford students’ music lessons.
29.According to Ofsted, who is to blame for the affected music provision?
A.The schools. B.The educators. C.The government. D.The researchers.
30.What does the underlined word “nurtures” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Promotes. B.Deserves. C.Symbolizes. D.Worsens.
31.What does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph?
A.Music education is optional. B.Music education calls for backup.
C.Music-making is tough. D.Music-making makes sense.
D
As new technologies, including AI, are becoming popular, they promise to change learning for the better.
Already, there are AI-based tutoring (辅导) tools that can help learners. One 2024 study, led by the University of Oxford, found that school students in Ghana who used an AI-powered maths tutor through WhatsApp for half an hour, twice a week, over eight months had “higher” maths progress scores than those in a control group.
“Until now, professional, personalised tutoring has been too expensive for people,” points out Joseph South, chief innovation officer at the International Society for Technology in Education. “AI-powered tutors can offer this experience for online learners at a low price.”
However, there are still possible problems to solve. AI can present untrue things as fact, which could mean students might “learn” incorrect information. Similarly, AI can develop biases (偏见) based on the data (数据) used to train it, and possibly pass them on to learners. In addition, experts warn that any educational institution (机构) needs to have strict rules on what student personal information can be put into AI tools, to reduce privacy risks.
But, to some, the biggest risk is to the learning process. “As students increasingly depend on AI tools, they may use them as quick answers, which will hurt their ability to learn basic learning skills,” says Emily Deleu, assistant teaching professor of business management communication at Carnegie Mellon University. “Is that good for them in the long term?” she asks. “This is still an open question.”
To protect students, she suggests “we need government rules to give advice to schools.” And she adds, “The biggest risk of all with AI is doing nothing. The world has changed and is changing. We should change how we teach and what we teach to welcome AI.”
32.What does the 2024 study show about AI-powered tutoring tools?
A.They can help develop students’ interest in maths.
B.They can increase competition among students.
C.They can help students improve their grades.
D.They can shorten students’ study time.
33.What does Joseph South think of AI-powered tutoring tools?
A.They will reduce the need for teachers in online learning.
B.They can make personalised tutoring affordable for most people.
C.They will pass some biases on to learners.
D.They may present fiction as fact.
34.What do experts want educational institutions to do?
A.Bring in more professional teachers.
B.Develop more AI-powered tutoring tools.
C.Help students develop their own opinions.
D.Try to protect students’ private information.
35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Will AI Change Education for the Better?
B.Can AI Help Students Learn Important Skills?
C.Are AI Tools Expensive for Learners?
D.What Can AI Tools Help Teachers Do?

It has been shown that watching English movie trailers(预告片) can improve your English vocabulary and thinking skills. 36
The first step is to find them. Go to YouTube and do a search for something like “official trailer”. Several film trailers will appear. 37 Animated films can be an especially good choice for English practice no matter how old you are. These films are usually humorous and relatable. To find animated films, try doing a search for something like “animated official trailer”.
Make sure the video you choose offers closed captions(字幕), which you will use later. You can find the closed caption mark at the bottom of the video. It may be listed as “CC” or something else. Keep in mind that trailers more than five or seven years old may not offer closed captions on YouTube. 38
Next, watch the video at a normal speed without closed captions. Try to understand what the story is about overall. Then watch it again to seek more details. 39 It will give you an idea of whether the dialogue is too fast or difficult for your skill level.
40 Find the “CC” setting at the bottom of the video and click the captions. This can help you in several ways. You can confirm whether you understand the dialogue in your first viewing, make clearer any dialogue you do not understand, and connect the sound of words with their spellings. You can also write down a few of the new words in a notebook or on your mobile phone.
A.So choose newer videos.
B.You can choose some that look interesting.
C.They may sound a little strange at a slower speed.
D.With this method, you are testing your English skills.
E.Then watch the video again, this time with closed captions.
F.Besides, try using your notebook as you learn English in your everyday life.
G.Now let's talk about steps you can take to get the most out of watching them.

David loved writing. When the school announced an English writing competition, David was eager to participate. He worked hard on his entry, believing it was his chance to prove himself. However, when the results were announced, David’s name wasn’t there. He felt a deep sense of disappointment and frustration, as if all his hard work had been in vain.
After the competition, David felt too embarrassed to talk about his failure. He spent days in his room, avoiding everyone. His former imagination seemed to have dried up, and he couldn’t find the motivation to write anymore. It felt like a part of him had been destroyed.
One afternoon, as David sat in his room, his English teacher, Mr. Carter, came to visit. Mr. Carter was a kind and encouraging teacher who had always believed in David s potential. He had noticed David’s absence in class and decided to check in on him.
“Hey, David,” Mr. Carter said gently. “I heard about the competition. I’m really sorry you didn’t win, but I know how much effort you put into it. You should be proud of yourself for trying.” David looked down, feeling defeated. “I just don’t get it, Mr. Carter,” he said quietly. “I worked so hard, but it wasn’t enough. I feel like I’m never going to be good enough.”
Mr. Carter sat down next to David and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder., He said, “David, writing is not just about winning competitions. It’s about expressing yourself and sharing your ideas. Sometimes, even the best writers don’t win. But that doesn’t mean they’re not good. It just means they need to keep trying and learning.”
With Mr. Carter’s encouragement, David began to analyze his writing. They discussed the strengths and weaknesses of his entry, and Mr. Carter offered valuable suggestions. David started to feel more confident and motivated. He realized that failure was just a part of the learning process.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Over the next few weeks, David threw himself back into his writing.

18.How did the speaker’s grandfather die?

B.During a charity event.
C.Because of a plane crash.
19.Why did the speaker decide to skydive?
A.To help some patients.

20.What does the speaker think was the best aspect about the skydive?
A.Falling from 2,000 meters.
B.Hearing stories about Alzheimer’s.
C.Raising a large amount of money.
【答案】18.A 19.A 20.B
【原文】M: If you’d told me a year ago that I’d be jumping out of a plane, I’d have laughed. I hated heights. It’s not the kind of thing I enjoy doing with friends! But something changed after my grandad passed away from Alzheimer’s. I wanted to do something meaningful that could help others affected by the same disease. So, I signed up for a charity skydive. I’d never even done a bake sale before!
We watched a safety video and we jumped from 4,000 meters. The free fall lasted for one minute, and we dropped at 200 kilometers per hour. I worked out that meant I fell roughly 3,300 meters before the parachute (降落伞) opened.
It was peaceful. You’d expect panic, but instead I felt calm. Everything looked so small, and yet I felt part of something huge,
The great part? We raised £8,452 — the highest amount anyone in our area has ever raised for Alzheimer’s. But even better than the total was hearing people talk about their experience with this illness. So many had been through the same as my grandad.
I still don’t love heights, so I’ve not overcome that fear. But I’ve learned that sometimes, doing something scary opens doors — and hearts.

There comes a time for every family when the tables turn and the parent has to answer to the child. Mine came recently when my wife and I stayed with our elder son in Los Angeles. A whole week under his roof!
“Dad, don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth,” Nathaniel told me seriously on our first night. I grabbed extra paper towels to wipe the kitchen counter and was instructed to use the dishcloth. Not to leave my ugly walking shoes sitting out. Don’t wear a neck warmer when walking the dogs in the morning — it will warm up when we get to the park. Why drink so much sparkling water? And do you have to take a shower before we drive to Topanga?
At first I wondered how I’d raised an awkward son. Then I remembered how often I threw the golden rule of parenting at Nathaniel and his siblings when they were young. “Someday, you’ll have a home of your own and can live however you want,” I’d say. “Until then, you’ll have to do as we ask.” And so I smilingly did as Nathaniel said, but with a touch of playfulness, like hiding a separate roll of paper towels into the storeroom, or moving one of his favorite photographs a few inches.
There were perks to playing beta to Nathaniel’s alpha. He cleaned dishes after dinner. He also set our daily outings. And he willingly drove everywhere, sparing me the pain of Los Angeles traffic.
We were walking along El Matador Beach our last afternoon and hit an extended patch of rocks — clearly the end of the line. Nathaniel guided me across one large stone to the next, patiently telling me where to place my feet and hands as ocean waves came close. I was frightened, but after a couple hundred yards we made it to a fresh sandy stretch. “You did it! I’m really proud,” he said. It was then that I knew for sure that the son also rises to fatherhood.
24.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.Nathaniel’s various rules. B.The father’s unhealthy lifestyles.
C.Parent-child arguments. D.The father’s forgetfulness.
25.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 imply?
A.Nathaniel could make detailed plans. B.Listening to Nathaniel brought benefits.
C.Tricking Nathaniel made the author enjoyable. D.Nathaniel had to address many problems.
26.According to the last paragraph, what is an important quality to be a father?
A.Selfless. B.Peaceful. C.Adventurous. D.Encouraging.
27.What does the author’s experience show?
A.Do as the Romans do. B.Practice makes perfect.
C.East or west, home is the best. D.The student becomes the teacher.
【答案】24.A 25.B 26.D 27.D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者夫妇前往儿子家中小住的温馨经历:原本身为管教者的父亲,反而要遵守儿子定下的诸多生活规矩,作者在调侃之余也接受了这种身份对调,儿子耐心引导作者、并在成功抵达后鼓励作者,让作者真切感悟到孩子已经长大,具备了为人父的担当,完成了亲子间的身份轮转。
24.主旨大意题。根据第二段““Dad, don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth,” Nathaniel told me seriously on our first night. I grabbed extra paper towels to wipe the kitchen counter and was instructed to use the dishcloth. Not to leave my ugly walking shoes sitting out. Don’t wear a neck warmer when walking the dogs in the morning — it will warm up when we get to the park. Why drink so much sparkling water? And do you have to take a shower before we drive to Topanga?(“爸爸,刷牙的时候别让水一直流着,” Nathaniel在我们第一天晚上严肃地对我说。我拿出了额外的纸巾来擦拭厨房台面,并被要求使用抹布。别把我的难看的步行鞋放在外面晾着。早上遛狗时别戴脖套——等我们到公园天气就会暖和起来了。为什么要喝那么多气泡水?我们开车去托潘加之前,你一定要先洗个澡吗?)”可知,本段是Nathaniel对父亲在自己家中生活提出的各类要求和规定。故选A。
25.词句猜测题。根据第四段中“He cleaned dishes after dinner. He also set our daily outings. And he willingly drove everywhere, sparing me the pain of Los Angeles traffic.(比如,他会在晚餐后帮忙洗碗;还会安排我们的日常外出活动;而且他还会主动开车接送我们,免得我在这洛杉矶的交通中受苦)”可知,划线句字面意思是“当Nathaniel当家时,我们做服从者有不少好处”,后文紧接着列举了儿子洗碗、安排行程、开车帮作者避开堵车等实际好处,因此这句话暗示听Nathaniel安排能带来好处。故选B。
26.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Nathaniel guided me across one large stone to the next, patiently telling me where to place my feet and hands as ocean waves came close. I was frightened, but after a couple hundred yards we made it to a fresh sandy stretch. “You did it! I’m really proud,” he said. It was then that I knew for sure that the son also rises to fatherhood. (Nathaniel引导我跨过一块大石头,走向另一块。他耐心地告诉我双脚和双手应放置的位置,同时提醒我注意海浪的靠近。我感到害怕,但走了几百码后,我们终于来到了一片新的沙滩上。“你做到了!我真的很为你感到骄傲。”他说。就在那时,我确切地知道这个儿子也成长为父亲了)”可知,Nathaniel引导父亲走过危险的岩石路段后,对父亲说“你做到了!我真为你骄傲”,这是典型的鼓励行为,作者也由此确认儿子已经具备了为人父的特质。由此推知,作为父亲的重要品质是懂得鼓励。故选D。
27.推理判断题。根据文章内容,结合第一段中“There comes a time for every family when the tables turn and the parent has to answer to the child.(每个家庭都会有这样的时刻:父母的地位会发生转变,必须向孩子负责)”可知,文章核心是亲子角色互换:原本管教孩子的父母,变成要听从孩子安排的一方;原本被父母教导的孩子,长成了当家主事、引导父母的人,对应“原本的学生变成了老师”。故选D。
C
For anyone connected with a school, the last couple of weeks should have been a pile-up of plays, choir performances, and talent shows. But a report found, alarmingly, that 53% of primaries and 63% of secondaries that normally hold a festive concert at the end of the first term did not do so.
It is deeply troubling that music is no longer being taught to 11-to-14-year-olds in more than half of state secondaries. And some children get as little as one day of music lesson a year. If this situation is allowed to continue, music-making will become the preserve of those who can afford it. And the intense competition for better academic performance has only sped up this trend. A survey published this month of more than 1, 300 music teachers found that a third of British primary schools are not singing, while a quarter have ceased instrumental lessons. Almost three-quarters of primary and two-thirds of secondary schools have cancelled extracurricular music. Though a sharp decline of music provision is due to various social factors, Ofsted appeared to put this down to schools themselves, rather than pointing the finger at the government’s silence to educators’ appeal.
This is very sad and shortsighted. On the most basic level, music aids academic achievement. Research suggests that music-making improves speech and literacy. But academic progress is too narrow a standard of success. In her book, Joan Koenig argues that music is fundamental to a well-functioning society. Besides that, music-making nurtures sympathy and belonging. “People stand a much better chance of finding meaning and happiness in their lives if they feel that they belong,” as Koenig puts it. “Studies show that group musical practice can create and enhance this feeling. It is when people don’t have a sense of belonging that things go wrong.”
In this time of uncertainty and fear, ensuring that all children can access music-making is a cause deserving meaningful support and attention from ministers.
28.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.Educators are appealing for investment. B.Schools merely value academic achievements.
C.Music lessons are nearly absent from classrooms. D.Parents cannot afford students’ music lessons.
29.According to Ofsted, who is to blame for the affected music provision?
A.The schools. B.The educators. C.The government. D.The researchers.
30.What does the underlined word “nurtures” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Promotes. B.Deserves. C.Symbolizes. D.Worsens.
31.What does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph?
A.Music education is optional. B.Music education calls for backup.
C.Music-making is tough. D.Music-making makes sense.
【答案】28.C 29.A 30.A 31.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今学校音乐课逐渐消失的现象,说明了音乐的好处。
28.主旨大意题。根据第二段“It is deeply troubling that music is no longer being taught to 11-to-14-year-olds in more than half of state secondaries. And some children get as little as one day of music lesson a year. If this situation is allowed to continue, music-making will become the preserve of those who can afford it.

A survey published this month of more than 1, 300 music teachers found that a third of British primary schools are not singing, while a quarter have ceased instrumental lessons. Almost three-quarters of primary and two-thirds of secondary schools have cancelled extracurricular music. Though a sharp decline of music provision is due to various social factors, Ofsted appeared to put this down to schools themselves, rather than pointing the finger at the government’s silence to educators’ appeal.(令人深感不安的是,超过一半的公立中学不再教授11到14岁的学生音乐。有些孩子一年只上一天音乐课。如果这种情况继续下去,音乐创作将成为那些负担得起的人的专利。为了更好的学习成绩而进行的激烈竞争只会加速这一趋势。本月公布的一项对1300多名音乐教师的调查发现,英国三分之一的小学不唱歌,四分之一的小学停止了乐器课。近四分之三的小学和三分之二的中学已经取消了课外音乐活动。尽管音乐教学数量的急剧下降是由各种社会因素造成的,但Ofsted似乎把这归咎于学校本身,而不是指责政府对教育工作者的呼吁无动于衷)”可知,第二段主要讲的是教室里几乎没有音乐课。故选C。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Though a sharp decline of music provision is due to various social factors, Ofsted appeared to put this down to schools themselves, rather than pointing the finger at the government’s silence to educators’ appeal. (尽管音乐教学数量的急剧下降是由各种社会因素造成的,但Ofsted似乎把这归咎于学校本身,而不是指责政府对教育工作者的呼吁无动于衷)”可知,学校应该为受影响的音乐供应负责。故选A。
30.词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“sympathy and belonging. “People stand a much better chance of finding meaning and happiness in their lives if they feel that they belong,” as Koenig puts it.”可知,正如柯尼格所说,如果人们觉得自己有归属感,他们就更有可能找到生活的意义和幸福。可见音乐创作还能培养同情心和归属感。故画线词意思是“培养”。A. Promotes.培养;B. Deserves.值得;C. Symbolizes.象征;D. Worsens.恶化。故选A。
31.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In this time of uncertainty and fear, ensuring that all children can access music-making is a cause deserving meaningful support and attention from ministers.(在这个充满不确定性和恐惧的时代,确保所有儿童都能接触到音乐创作是一项值得牧师们给予有意义的支持和关注的事业)”可知,作者在最后一段主要表达了音乐教育需要支援。故选B。
D
As new technologies, including AI, are becoming popular, they promise to change learning for the better.
Already, there are AI-based tutoring (辅导) tools that can help learners. One 2024 study, led by the University of Oxford, found that school students in Ghana who used an AI-powered maths tutor through WhatsApp for half an hour, twice a week, over eight months had “higher” maths progress scores than those in a control group.
“Until now, professional, personalised tutoring has been too expensive for people,” points out Joseph South, chief innovation officer at the International Society for Technology in Education. “AI-powered tutors can offer this experience for online learners at a low price.”
However, there are still possible problems to solve. AI can present untrue things as fact, which could mean students might “learn” incorrect information. Similarly, AI can develop biases (偏见) based on the data (数据) used to train it, and possibly pass them on to learners. In addition, experts warn that any educational institution (机构) needs to have strict rules on what student personal information can be put into AI tools, to reduce privacy risks.
But, to some, the biggest risk is to the learning process. “As students increasingly depend on AI tools, they may use them as quick answers, which will hurt their ability to learn basic learning skills,” says Emily Deleu, assistant teaching professor of business management communication at Carnegie Mellon University. “Is that good for them in the long term?” she asks. “This is still an open question.”
To protect students, she suggests “we need government rules to give advice to schools.” And she adds, “The biggest risk of all with AI is doing nothing. The world has changed and is changing. We should change how we teach and what we teach to welcome AI.”
32.What does the 2024 study show about AI-powered tutoring tools?
A.They can help develop students’ interest in maths.
B.They can increase competition among students.
C.They can help students improve their grades.
D.They can shorten students’ study time.
33.What does Joseph South think of AI-powered tutoring tools?
A.They will reduce the need for teachers in online learning.
B.They can make personalised tutoring affordable for most people.
C.They will pass some biases on to learners.
D.They may present fiction as fact.
34.What do experts want educational institutions to do?
A.Bring in more professional teachers.
B.Develop more AI-powered tutoring tools.
C.Help students develop their own opinions.
D.Try to protect students’ private information.
35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Will AI Change Education for the Better?
B.Can AI Help Students Learn Important Skills?
C.Are AI Tools Expensive for Learners?
D.What Can AI Tools Help Teachers Do?
【答案】32.C 33.B 34.D 35.A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出人工智能辅导工具能提高学生成绩并降低个性化辅导成本,但也需解决虚假信息、偏见、隐私及学习能力退化等问题,未来需政策引导以适应人工智能时代。
32.细节理解题。根据第二段中“One 2024 study, led by the University of Oxford, found that school students in Ghana who used an AI-powered maths tutor through WhatsApp for half an hour, twice a week, over eight months had “higher” maths progress scores than those in a control group. (牛津大学在2024年领导的一项研究发现,在八个月的时间里,通过WhatsApp使用人工智能数学导师的加纳学生,每周两次,每次半小时,其数学进步分数比对照组的学生“更高”。)”可知,2024年的研究显示了人工智能辅导工具可以帮助学生提高成绩。故选C项。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段中Joseph South所说的话“Until now, professional, personalised tutoring has been too expensive for people (到目前为止,专业的、个性化的辅导对人们来说过于昂贵)”和“AI-powered tutors can offer this experience for online learners at a low price. (人工智能导师可以以较低的价格为在线学习者提供这种体验。)”可知,Joseph South认为人工智能辅导工具可以让大多数人负担得起个性化辅导。故选B项。
34.细节理解题。根据第四段中“In addition, experts warn that any educational institution (机构) needs to have strict rules on what student personal information can be put into AI tools, to reduce privacy risks. (此外,专家警告说,任何教育机构都需要严格规定哪些学生的个人信息可以输入人工智能工具,以降低隐私风险。)”可知,专家希望教育机构尽力保护学生的个人信息。故选D项。
35.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“As new technologies, including AI, are becoming popular, they promise to change learning for the better. (随着包括人工智能在内的新技术越来越流行,它们有望使学习变得更好。)”可知,文章探讨了人工智能在教育中的潜力,如提升成绩、降低辅导成本,但也指出虚假信息、偏见、隐私风险及学习能力退化的问题。因此,A项“人工智能会让教育变得更好吗?”涵盖双向的讨论,最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。

It has been shown that watching English movie trailers(预告片) can improve your English vocabulary and thinking skills. 36
The first step is to find them. Go to YouTube and do a search for something like “official trailer”. Several film trailers will appear. 37 Animated films can be an especially good choice for English practice no matter how old you are. These films are usually humorous and relatable. To find animated films, try doing a search for something like “animated official trailer”.
Make sure the video you choose offers closed captions(字幕), which you will use later. You can find the closed caption mark at the bottom of the video. It may be listed as “CC” or something else. Keep in mind that trailers more than five or seven years old may not offer closed captions on YouTube. 38
Next, watch the video at a normal speed without closed captions. Try to understand what the story is about overall. Then watch it again to seek more details. 39 It will give you an idea of whether the dialogue is too fast or difficult for your skill level.
40 Find the “CC” setting at the bottom of the video and click the captions. This can help you in several ways. You can confirm whether you understand the dialogue in your first viewing, make clearer any dialogue you do not understand, and connect the sound of words with their spellings. You can also write down a few of the new words in a notebook or on your mobile phone.
A.So choose newer videos.
B.You can choose some that look interesting.
C.They may sound a little strange at a slower speed.
D.With this method, you are testing your English skills.

38.根据段首句“Make sure the video you choose offers closed captions (确保你选择的视频提供了隐藏式字幕)”可知,要选择带字幕的影片,结合空前一句“Keep in mind that trailers more than five or seven years old may not offer closed captions on YouTube.(记住,超过5或7年的预告片可能不会在YouTube上提供隐藏式字幕。)”可知,超过5或7年的预告片可能没有字幕,所以要选择更新一点的视频,A项“所以选择更新的视频”承接上文。故选A项。
39.上文“Try to understand what the story is about overall. Then watch it again to seek more details.(试着理解整个故事的内容。然后再看一遍以了解更多细节。)”是描述方法,结合空后“It will give you an idea of whether the dialogue is too fast or difficult for your skill level.(它会让你了解对话对你的技能水平来说是太快还是太难)”可知,D项“用这种方法测试你的英语技能”与上下文关系紧密,符合语境。故选D项。
40.空处是段落主题句,下文“Find the ‘CC’ setting at the bottom of the video and click the captions. This can help you in several ways. (找到在视频的底部‘CC’设置,并点击字幕。这可以在几个方面帮助你。)”谈论的是点击字幕及好处,故E项“再看一遍视频,这次是带隐藏式字幕的”符合语境。故选E项。

In east China’s Anhui Province, 56 83-year-old grandmother is redefining (重新定义) what it means to be a technology pioneer.

Her grandson told her that the drone could be 58 great help in finishing the work in the farmland, saving labor and reducing the cost of farming at the same time.
At first, Grandma Dai doubted the role of drones. But she 59 (rapid) achieved the ability to control them. “When my grandson first brought home the drone, I doubted whether such a small machine could really fly. After he managed 60 (get) it in the air, it really drew my interest besides 61 (make) me excited. Whenever he operated the drone for different kinds of 62 (task), I’d follow him along, watch him do it, 63 ask him how it is controlled. Over time, I’ve gradually learned a bit about the drone.”
The family now operates six pieces of advanced (先进的) machinery, including drones 64 deal with planting and fertilization, and intelligent harvesters. And when Dai does not manage heavy-duty farming equipment, she practices her short video editing skills.
Today, China’s agriculture stands firmly among the world’s most technologically advanced, with 5G networks now covering 96 percent of the countryside and technological progress driving over 63 percent of the 65 (grow) in agricultural harvest.
【答案】
56.an 57.started 58.of 59.rapidly 60.to get 61.making 62.tasks 63.and 64.that/which 65.growth
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了安徽83岁农民戴淑英奶奶学习操作无人机等农业设备,成为家庭农业生产技术先锋的故事。
56.考查冠词。句意:在中国东部的安徽省,一位83岁的奶奶正在重新定义成为技术先锋的意义。“83-year-old grandmother”是可数名词单数,表泛指“一位83岁的奶奶”,且83发音以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
57.考查时态。句意:这一切都始于她的孙子带回家一架用于田里作业的无人机。start(开始)是谓语动词,结合从句“when her grandson brought home”可知,此处讲述过去发生的动作,应用一般过去时,start的过去式为started。故填started。
58.考查介词。句意:她的孙子告诉她,这架无人机对完成农田里的工作有很大帮助,同时节省劳动力并降低耕作成本。“be of great help”是固定短语,意为“有很大帮助”,“be of+抽象名词”相当于“be+对应的形容词”。故填of。
59.考查副词。句意:但她很快就掌握了操控它们的能力。提示词rapid(快速的)是形容词,此处修饰谓语动词achieved(掌握),应用其副词形式rapidly作状语,表“快速地”。故填rapidly。
60.考查非谓语动词。句意:在他成功让无人机升空后,它不仅让我兴奋,还真正引起了我的兴趣。“manage to do sth”是固定搭配,意为“成功做某事”,用不定式作宾语。故填to get。
61.考查非谓语动词。句意:在他成功让无人机升空后,它不仅让我兴奋,还真正引起了我的兴趣。besides是介词,意为“除……之外(还)”,后接动名词作宾语,make的动名词形式为making。故填making。
62.考查名词复数。句意:每当他操作无人机完成各种任务时,我都会跟着他,看着他操作,并问他如何操控。可数名词task(任务)作宾语,前面有“different kinds of(各种各样的)”修饰,应用复数形式tasks,表泛指多种任务。故填tasks。
63.考查连词。句意:每当他操作无人机完成各种任务时,我都会跟着他,看着他操作,并问他如何操控。“follow him along”、“watch him do it”和“ask him how it is controlled”是三个并列的谓语动作,逻辑上为顺承关系,应用并列连词and连接。故填and。
64.考查定语从句。句意:这个家庭现在拥有6台先进机械,包括用于播种和施肥的无人机以及智能收割机。“_____ deal with planting and fertilization”是限制性定语从句,修饰先行词drones(无人机),指物,关系词将其代入定语从句中作主语,应用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。
65.考查名词。句意:如今,中国农业稳居世界技术最先进行列,5G网络已覆盖96%的农村地区,技术进步推动了农业收成63%以上的增长。提示词grow(增长)是动词,此处作介词of的宾语,应用其名词形式growth,意为“增长”,不可数名词。故填growth。

David loved writing. When the school announced an English writing competition, David was eager to participate. He worked hard on his entry, believing it was his chance to prove himself. However, when the results were announced, David’s name wasn’t there. He felt a deep sense of disappointment and frustration, as if all his hard work had been in vain.
After the competition, David felt too embarrassed to talk about his failure. He spent days in his room, avoiding everyone. His former imagination seemed to have dried up, and he couldn’t find the motivation to write anymore. It felt like a part of him had been destroyed.
One afternoon, as David sat in his room, his English teacher, Mr. Carter, came to visit. Mr. Carter was a kind and encouraging teacher who had always believed in David s potential. He had noticed David’s absence in class and decided to check in on him.
“Hey, David,” Mr. Carter said gently. “I heard about the competition. I’m really sorry you didn’t win, but I know how much effort you put into it. You should be proud of yourself for trying.” David looked down, feeling defeated. “I just don’t get it, Mr. Carter,” he said quietly. “I worked so hard, but it wasn’t enough. I feel like I’m never going to be good enough.”
Mr. Carter sat down next to David and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder., He said, “David, writing is not just about winning competitions. It’s about expressing yourself and sharing your ideas. Sometimes, even the best writers don’t win. But that doesn’t mean they’re not good. It just means they need to keep trying and learning.”
With Mr. Carter’s encouragement, David began to analyze his writing. They discussed the strengths and weaknesses of his entry, and Mr. Carter offered valuable suggestions. David started to feel more confident and motivated. He realized that failure was just a part of the learning process.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Over the next few weeks, David threw himself back into his writing.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next school year brought another writing competition.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Over the next few weeks, David threw himself back into his writing. He practiced every day, incorporating Mr. Carter’s advice. He wrote essays, short stories, and even poetry, constantly pushing himself to improve. Slowly but surely, his confidence grew, and he began to enjoy writing again. He found that the more he wrote, the more ideas flowed through his mind. Each word he put on paper felt like a small victory, and he started to see his writing in a new light. He realized that the joy of writing wasn’t just in winning competitions, but in the process of creation itself.
The next school year brought another writing competition. This time, David was determined to give it his best shot. He submitted an essay that he had worked on for weeks, feeling more prepared and hopeful than ever before. When the results were announced, David’s heart raced with anticipation. To his delight, his name was called as one of the winners. He couldn’t believe it — he had done it! All the hard work and perseverance had paid off. David knew that this victory was not just his own; it was evidence for the power of believing in oneself and never giving up.
