Just as the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” When you are in China, you should follow the customs here. When you meet somebody for the first time in China, you should shake hands and say, “How do you do?” You don’t need to bow or kiss the side of the face. When you are eating at the table, it’s impolite to stick your chopsticks into the food. You are not supposed to point at others with your chopsticks. You’d better not speak with your mouth full. If you visit a friend’s home, it’s polite to bring a small gift and take off your shoes before entering the house. By the way, you should pay attention to the weather in July. It might be quite hot, so bring some light and thin clothes. Also, make sure you have enough money for your trip, as it’s not convenient to exchange money in some places. I hope you will have a wonderful time in China.

She didn’t mind the tiredness, but the 11 others gave her. On the outside, Emma looked stronger than others of her age, in her bigger thighs (大腿); 12 on the inside, she felt small. And PE class was when she felt at her smallest. A group of loud and outspoken classmates made her feel 13 . Although they could run faster than Emma, they 14 to jog a bit behind her, laughing suddenly and commenting (评论) on how Emma jogged. “Just one more year,” Emma kept telling herself, “one more year and I’ll graduate from the middle school and won’t have to take this PE class any more.” She just wanted to 15 it. But everything changed when a new girl called Kit 16 the class. She had bright eyes and a long scar (疤痕) across the left side of her face. Her appearance in the classroom that day was met by many 17 eyes. Their teacher, Ms Hardy, didn’t ask Kit for a personal 18 .

Here are three important characters. 1Ban Zhao (45—116): China’s First Female Historian As the first woman in Chinese history to work as a professional historian, Ban Zhao completed her brother Ban Gu’s important work Book of Han, which recorded 230 years of Western Han history. Emperor He admired her work so much that he asked her to teach history and astronomy to the royal family (皇室). Her most famous work Lessons for Women, with some old ideas by today’s standards, expressed the importance of education for women-a very new idea at the time. 2 Huang Daopo (1245—1330): The Cotton Queen This amazing inventor changed China’s cotton industry forever. After spending years learning advanced weaving (纺织) skills from the Li people in Hainan, she returned to her hometown near Shanghai and invented three game-changing tools: the cotton fluffer (to prepare cotton faster), the foot-powered spinning wheel (to spin thread more easily), and the multi-spindle weaving machine (to weave cloth quicker). Her inventions made cloth—making four times faster and helped many people earn money. 3Lady Yi (2nd Century): China’s First Female Doctor During China’s Western Han Dynasty (25—220 AD), while most women usually stayed at home, Lady Yi broke barriers (障碍) as China’s first recorded female doctor. She started as a palace maid (宫女) but taught herself medicine by secretly reading books in the royal library at night. Her big break came when she cured the Emperor’s favorite wife of a mysterious fever that male doctors couldn’t deal with. Then she became the first female Palace Medical Officer. Her artemisia treatment later helped scientist Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize with her malaria (疟疾) treatment in 2015! 23．How did Huang Daopo improve China’s cotton industry? A．By teaching women to read and write. B．By writing books about Han Dynasty history. C．By inventing tools making cloth production faster. D．By discovering new medicines for kinds of diseases. 24．Why was Lady Yi’s work important? A．She became China’s first female historian and writer. B．She invented foot-powered machines for farming. C．She wrote numbers of Lessons for Women about education. D．She helped develop a Nobel Prize-winning malaria treatment. 25．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To compare the lives of women in ancient and those in modern China. B．To describe three influential women in Chinese history and their achievements. C．To explain how ancient Chinese inventions are still being used today. D．To argue that women were more important than men in ancient China. B What happens when street dance meets Chinese martial arts (武术)? We recently found an impressive answer in two dancing boys. Earlier this month, Song Haoming, 10, and Fu Junxi, 14, made history at Juste Debout 2025 in Paris. Juste Debout is the world’s biggest street dance competition. In the finals, they danced Hip-Hop (嘻哈). They beat stronger adult dancers to enter the final four. Few had expected them to get this far. Song and Fu are very different. Pan Limin, the leader of CHUC’s youth street dance team, said the two boys were like fire and water. "Song is full of energy-always laughing and playful-just like fire," he said. "Fu is quiet, just like water.” In their dance, the pair wowed the audience with their cool Drunken Fist (醉拳) and Tai Chi moves. These martial arts elements (元素) added lots of energy to their performance. “The kids made up the moves themselves,” said Ms. Jia, Fu’s mother. “Their hard work paid off, and you could feel the excitement there.” Chinese elements have been used in street dance before. “Back in 2018, we used traditional culture in our dance called Yellow, River,” said Mr. Zhang, who works at CHUC． "We won the Lotus Award, China’s top dance prize." The use of Chinese elements allows for more possibilities to explore the art of street dance. Apart from Song and Fu, three other children took part in this year’s Juste Debout event. They also did well in their group, the Junior Dance Tour. "All five of our children made it to the final eight in their groups," said Pan. “But there are many more talented kids in our country. They just need a chance to show themselves.” 26．Why was it unexpected that they entered the final four? A．Because they were the youngest among all the dancers. B．Because they amazingly beat the older, more powerful dancers. C．Because they used some foreign dance styles. D．Because they didn’t take part in any international competitions before. 27．Which of the following might be the judges’ response (裁判的反应) to their show？ A．They preferred modern street dance. B．They were impressed by the cultural mix. C．They thought the boys were too young. D．They wanted more difficult moves. 28．Why does the author mention the Lotus Award? A．To explain how to win competitions. B．To list all dance awards in China. C．To show this was the first Chinese dance prize. D．To prove mixing Chinese culture has worked before. 29．What might help Song and Fu succeed according to the passage? A．Natural talent and good luck. B．Creativity and hard work. C．Bravery and cleverness. D．Excellent teacher and hard training. C A reality show about farming called Become a Farmer (《种地吧》) has recently become popular. Ten boys are given the task of spending 190 days on about 9.5 hectares’ of land. sowing, fertilizing (施肥) and harvesting the wheat in the countryside. These boys were already idols on stage before they joined the reality show. Now it is especially awesome to see them leave the stage and experience life of a farmer. It’s hard to imagine a group of people who have never done farm work before and yet have to do it now. They work together and encourage each other in their tasks. They have all sorts of goals and they believe that any dream can come true through their hard work. As they support each other all the time, they not only create wealth but also develop a close friendship through farming. This show also gets me thinking about how different lifestyles are in cities from those in the countryside. Farmers who raise pigs, cows, chickens and ducks at home do not get lost in the burden of modern society. For them, it is only life and nature that bring out the truest emotions in a person. While in big cities, people are stressed out by the fast pace of city life and the non-stop work day and night, so watching this show can help heal their tired hearts. The most important thing in making a successful reality show is to bring out its authenticity (真实性) which can win praise from its audience, and help people to release their stress from their busy everyday lives. 30．What can we learn about the reality show from Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2? A．Ten high school students joined the reality show. B．The boys need to work on the farmland for over half a year. C．The boys have done some farm work before. D．Each boy needs to finish his task all by himself. 31．Which word can be used to describe the boys in the reality show? A．Smart and creative. B．Brave and helpful. C．Hard-working and friendly. D．Talented and skillful. 32．What makes this show successful? A．The boys have many followers on social media platforms B．The boys are really very good at farming. C．Watching this show helps people reduce stress. D．This show teaches people a lot of farming skills. 33．In which section of a newspaper can you probably read this article? A．Busy City life. B．Modern Farming. C．Science and Technology. D．TV Shows and Culture. D US poet Allen Ginsberg once said, “Poetry (诗歌) is the one place where people can speak their original (独创的) human mind.” To know the special ability of poetry to catch the human spirit, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year. The magic of poetry lies in the connection built up through words between the writer and the reader. When we read a poem, we often imagine what the poet was thinking when he wrote it, or what he was doing at the time. These thoughts let us connect with the words better, as if we’d written the poem ourselves. But in the age of artificial intelligence (AI，人工智能), would a poem still mean as much if it wasn’t written by a human at all? Today, computers can create all kinds of texts, including research papers, books, news stories and even poems. In 2013, Australian researcher Oscar Schwartz and his friend Benjamin Laird created a website called “bot or not”, where readers can read poems and guess whether they were written by a human or a computer. During a recent speech at Ted X Sydney, Schwartz said that all over the years, some of the website’s poems were able to fool 65 percent of human readers into thinking they were written by a human. By creating the website, Schwartz and Laird hoped that people would doubt the difference between humans and machines—and be able to tell what makes us humans. “The human mind is not a cold, hard fact,” Schwartz said during his speech. A computer may be able to create poems that are correct in both grammar and style, but it wouldn’t be able to get the same meanings and feelings across as a human poet could. In fact, now AI software creates poems based on ones that have already been written by humans. As Schwartz noted, “The computer works like a mirror that reflects (反映) any idea of a human.” 34．Why is World Poetry Day held every year? A．To understand how poetry expresses human spirits. B．To compare the poetry written by humans and computers. C．To teach people how to write beautiful poetry. D．To show readers the poetry written by computers. 35．Which of the following may the writer agree with? A．Computers can replace humans in poetry writing. B．Computers can speak original human mind. C．Computers can’t show feelings as well as humans. D．Computers are as emotional as human poets. 36．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Intelligent computer poets. B．A mirror of human ideas. C．Poetry by humans or computers. D．The importance of poetry. 四、还原信息(共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I run a lot of writing workshops in secondary schools and what I often see is this: teenagers in class just look at the blank page and freeze. Even when I tell them they can’t get it wrong in creative writing, they still stop and feel painful, looking to me for clear and definite instructions. This behavior results from their training to mimic (模仿). 37 In time, they are afraid of getting things wrong and risking failure. Creativity is no longer supported and is even viewed as a soft skill, or even a weakness. However, creativity is highly valued by employers. According to The Conversation, creativity has been the number-one skill needed by 20 million job ads on Linked for two years in a row. 38 Because of limited educational resources and assessment (评价) pressures, teenagers’ thinking becomes increasingly narrow, leaving them afraid to explore other possibilities. 39 It’s just an ability to make new connections and follow where they go. Actually, creativity requires qualities available to us all: courage, observation, curiosity, flexibility and perseverance. So how do we help teenagers be hopeful and brave? Firstly, we need to avoid the idea that their whole futures depend on this very task or that decision. Life is long enough to try many things, and to change directions. There is no right way to live a life. Secondly, let’s encourage raising questions. Children are naturally curious, but this curiosity often fades as they grow older, although it still exists within them. Just because they lack answers doesn’t mean they shouldn’t ask questions, rather, they should ask even more. 40 Young people need reminding that their stories haven’t been written. They need opportunities to try new things. They need permission to keep asking “What else is possible?” because anything is. A．But in schools, it is different. B．Being creative isn’t a magical skill. C．It allows us to understand their feelings better. D．They know it is a safe way to get good grades. E．The main problem is how to keep those creative juices flowing. F．The world is held together with unanswered questions and endless possibilities. 第II卷 笔答题（满分34分） 五、阅读回答(共4小题；前3小题每题2分，第4小题3分，满分9分) 阅读下面短文，回答短文后的问题。(前3题每题答案不超过10个词)。 Hello Kitty, the cat with no mouth, has become the first cartoon kitty to go to space! Lauren Rojas, a 13-year-old girl from America came up with the idea for her science project at school. The inspiration (灵感) came from a television programme Lauren once watched. Lauren spent about a month building a small silver rocket (火箭) and a weather balloon by herself. She put the Hello Kitty doll into the rocket and tied it with the balloon. After testing wind direction and temperature, she set the balloon free. After a few minutes, the balloon rose more than 90,000 feet above the ground. It was near outer space. There, the air was so thin that the balloon burst (爆炸). The balloon was 53 times larger than its original size before bursting open. Hello Kitty’s rocket fell back down to Earth with the help of a parachute (降落伞), and landed safely. Hello Kitty went along for the ride in the rocket just for fun. “I have liked her ever since I was 6 years old,” Lauren told the New York Daily News. “I thought it would be really fun to add a toy inside the rocket.” Lauren loves carrying out science experiments (实验). This experience increased her interest in science even further. 41．How long did Lauren spend building her rocket and the weather balloon? 42．Why did the balloon burst near outer space? 43．What do you think of Lauren? 44．Would you like to carry out such an experiment? Why or why not? 六、综合填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 I first became interested in calligraphy (书法) when my mum took me to a museum.

Here are three important characters. 1Ban Zhao (45—116): China’s First Female Historian As the first woman in Chinese history to work as a professional historian, Ban Zhao completed her brother Ban Gu’s important work Book of Han, which recorded 230 years of Western Han history. Emperor He admired her work so much that he asked her to teach history and astronomy to the royal family (皇室). Her most famous work Lessons for Women, with some old ideas by today’s standards, expressed the importance of education for women-a very new idea at the time. 2 Huang Daopo (1245—1330): The Cotton Queen This amazing inventor changed China’s cotton industry forever. After spending years learning advanced weaving (纺织) skills from the Li people in Hainan, she returned to her hometown near Shanghai and invented three game-changing tools: the cotton fluffer (to prepare cotton faster), the foot-powered spinning wheel (to spin thread more easily), and the multi-spindle weaving machine (to weave cloth quicker). Her inventions made cloth—making four times faster and helped many people earn money. 3Lady Yi (2nd Century): China’s First Female Doctor During China’s Western Han Dynasty (25—220 AD), while most women usually stayed at home, Lady Yi broke barriers (障碍) as China’s first recorded female doctor. She started as a palace maid (宫女) but taught herself medicine by secretly reading books in the royal library at night. Her big break came when she cured the Emperor’s favorite wife of a mysterious fever that male doctors couldn’t deal with. Then she became the first female Palace Medical Officer. Her artemisia treatment later helped scientist Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize with her malaria (疟疾) treatment in 2015! 23．How did Huang Daopo improve China’s cotton industry? A．By teaching women to read and write. B．By writing books about Han Dynasty history. C．By inventing tools making cloth production faster. D．By discovering new medicines for kinds of diseases. 24．Why was Lady Yi’s work important? A．She became China’s first female historian and writer. B．She invented foot-powered machines for farming. C．She wrote numbers of Lessons for Women about education. D．She helped develop a Nobel Prize-winning malaria treatment. 25．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To compare the lives of women in ancient and those in modern China. B．To describe three influential women in Chinese history and their achievements. C．To explain how ancient Chinese inventions are still being used today. D．To argue that women were more important than men in ancient China. 【答案】23．C 24．D 25．B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了三位女性，分别为班超，黄道婆和义妁以及她们的事迹。 23．细节理解。根据“After spending years learning advanced weaving skills from the Li people in Hainan, she returned to her hometown near Shanghai and invented three game-changing tools…Her inventions made cloth—making four times faster and helped many people earn money.”可知黄道婆通过发明工具使布的生产速度更快来改善中国棉花产业的。故选C。 24．细节理解。根据“Her artemisia treatment later helped scientist Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize with her malaria treatment in 2015!”可知义妁的工作重要是因为她帮助屠呦呦赢得了诺贝尔奖。故选D。 25．主旨大意。通读全文可知本文主要介绍了三位女性，分别为班超，黄道婆和义妁以及她们的事迹。因此这篇文章的主要目的是介绍中国历史上三位有影响力的女性及其成就。故选B。 B What happens when street dance meets Chinese martial arts (武术)? We recently found an impressive answer in two dancing boys. Earlier this month, Song Haoming, 10, and Fu Junxi, 14, made history at Juste Debout 2025 in Paris. Juste Debout is the world’s biggest street dance competition. In the finals, they danced Hip-Hop (嘻哈). They beat stronger adult dancers to enter the final four. Few had expected them to get this far. Song and Fu are very different. Pan Limin, the leader of CHUC’s youth street dance team, said the two boys were like fire and water. "Song is full of energy-always laughing and playful-just like fire," he said. "Fu is quiet, just like water.” In their dance, the pair wowed the audience with their cool Drunken Fist (醉拳) and Tai Chi moves. These martial arts elements (元素) added lots of energy to their performance. “The kids made up the moves themselves,” said Ms. Jia, Fu’s mother. “Their hard work paid off, and you could feel the excitement there.” Chinese elements have been used in street dance before. “Back in 2018, we used traditional culture in our dance called Yellow, River,” said Mr. Zhang, who works at CHUC． "We won the Lotus Award, China’s top dance prize." The use of Chinese elements allows for more possibilities to explore the art of street dance. Apart from Song and Fu, three other children took part in this year’s Juste Debout event. They also did well in their group, the Junior Dance Tour. "All five of our children made it to the final eight in their groups," said Pan. “But there are many more talented kids in our country. They just need a chance to show themselves.” 26．Why was it unexpected that they entered the final four? A．Because they were the youngest among all the dancers. B．Because they amazingly beat the older, more powerful dancers. C．Because they used some foreign dance styles. D．Because they didn’t take part in any international competitions before. 27．Which of the following might be the judges’ response (裁判的反应) to their show？ A．They preferred modern street dance. B．They were impressed by the cultural mix. C．They thought the boys were too young. D．They wanted more difficult moves. 28．Why does the author mention the Lotus Award? A．To explain how to win competitions. B．To list all dance awards in China. C．To show this was the first Chinese dance prize. D．To prove mixing Chinese culture has worked before. 29．What might help Song and Fu succeed according to the passage? A．Natural talent and good luck. B．Creativity and hard work. C．Bravery and cleverness. D．Excellent teacher and hard training. 【答案】26．B 27．B 28．D 29．B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲了10岁宋昊明和14岁傅俊熹在巴黎街舞大赛中融入武术元素，打败成年舞者闯入四强，展现中国元素对街舞艺术的创新推动。 26．细节理解题。根据“In the finals, they danced Hip-Hop. They beat stronger adult dancers to enter the final four. Few had expected them to be able to get this far.”可知，他们打败了更强壮的成年舞者进入了四强，这是大家没有预料到的。故选B。 27．推理判断题。根据“In their dance, the pair wowed the audience with their cool Drunken Fist and Tai Chi moves. These martial arts elements added lots of energy to their performance.”可知，他们的舞蹈中融入了中国武术元素，给观众留下了深刻印象，由此可推断裁判也会对这种文化融合印象深刻。故选B。 28．推理判断题。根据“Chinese elements have been used in street dance before. ‘Back in 2018, we used traditional culture in our dance called Yellow, River,’ said Mr. Zhang, who works at CHUC. ‘We won the Lotus Award, China’s top dance prize.’ The use of Chinese elements allows for more difficult possibilities to explore the art of street dance.”可知，作者提到莲花奖是为了证明之前将中国文化融入街舞的做法取得了成功。故选D。 29．推理判断题。根据第四段“‘The kids made up the moves themselves,’ said Ms. Jia, Fu’s mother. ‘Their hard work paid off, and you could feel the excitement there.’”可知，孩子们自己编动作，并且付出了努力，所以创造力和努力帮助他们取得了成功。故选B。 C A reality show about farming called Become a Farmer (《种地吧》) has recently become popular. Ten boys are given the task of spending 190 days on about 9.5 hectares’ of land. sowing, fertilizing (施肥) and harvesting the wheat in the countryside. These boys were already idols on stage before they joined the reality show. Now it is especially awesome to see them leave the stage and experience life of a farmer. It’s hard to imagine a group of people who have never done farm work before and yet have to do it now. They work together and encourage each other in their tasks. They have all sorts of goals and they believe that any dream can come true through their hard work. As they support each other all the time, they not only create wealth but also develop a close friendship through farming. This show also gets me thinking about how different lifestyles are in cities from those in the countryside. Farmers who raise pigs, cows, chickens and ducks at home do not get lost in the burden of modern society. For them, it is only life and nature that bring out the truest emotions in a person. While in big cities, people are stressed out by the fast pace of city life and the non-stop work day and night, so watching this show can help heal their tired hearts. The most important thing in making a successful reality show is to bring out its authenticity (真实性) which can win praise from its audience, and help people to release their stress from their busy everyday lives. 30．What can we learn about the reality show from Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2? A．Ten high school students joined the reality show. B．The boys need to work on the farmland for over half a year. C．The boys have done some farm work before.

C．Watching this show helps people reduce stress. D．This show teaches people a lot of farming skills. 33．In which section of a newspaper can you probably read this article? A．Busy City life. B．Modern Farming. C．Science and Technology. D．TV Shows and Culture. 【答案】30．B 31．C 32．C 33．D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了一档名为《种地吧》的真人秀节目，节目中十位男孩在农村进行为期190天的农耕生活，通过合作与努力实现梦想，并引发观众对城乡生活差异的思考。 30．细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Ten boys are given the task of spending 190 days on about 9.5 hectares of land”可推知，男孩们需要在农田工作超过半年。故选B。 31．推理判断题。根据文章第2段“They work together and...a close friendship through farming.”可知，他们齐心协力，在工作中相互鼓励。他们有各种各样的目标，他们相信任何梦想都可以通过自己的努力实现。由于他们一直相互支持，他们不仅创造了财富，还通过耕作建立了深厚的友谊。由此可知，这些男生是努力且友善的。故选C。 32．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The most important thing in...release their stress from their busy everyday lives.”可知，这个真人秀成功的原因是可以帮助人们释放压力。故选C。 33．推理判断题。通读全文可知，全文围绕一档真人秀节目展开，讨论其内容和影响，因此最可能出现在报纸的“电视节目与文化”版块。故选D。 D US poet Allen Ginsberg once said, “Poetry (诗歌) is the one place where people can speak their original (独创的) human mind.” To know the special ability of poetry to catch the human spirit, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year. The magic of poetry lies in the connection built up through words between the writer and the reader. When we read a poem, we often imagine what the poet was thinking when he wrote it, or what he was doing at the time. These thoughts let us connect with the words better, as if we’d written the poem ourselves. But in the age of artificial intelligence (AI，人工智能), would a poem still mean as much if it wasn’t written by a human at all? Today, computers can create all kinds of texts, including research papers, books, news stories and even poems. In 2013, Australian researcher Oscar Schwartz and his friend Benjamin Laird created a website called “bot or not”, where readers can read poems and guess whether they were written by a human or a computer. During a recent speech at Ted X Sydney, Schwartz said that all over the years, some of the website’s poems were able to fool 65 percent of human readers into thinking they were written by a human. By creating the website, Schwartz and Laird hoped that people would doubt the difference between humans and machines—and be able to tell what makes us humans. “The human mind is not a cold, hard fact,” Schwartz said during his speech. A computer may be able to create poems that are correct in both grammar and style, but it wouldn’t be able to get the same meanings and feelings across as a human poet could. In fact, now AI software creates poems based on ones that have already been written by humans. As Schwartz noted, “The computer works like a mirror that reflects (反映) any idea of a human.” 34．Why is World Poetry Day held every year? A．To understand how poetry expresses human spirits. B．To compare the poetry written by humans and computers. C．To teach people how to write beautiful poetry. D．To show readers the poetry written by computers. 35．Which of the following may the writer agree with? A．Computers can replace humans in poetry writing. B．Computers can speak original human mind. C．Computers can’t show feelings as well as humans. D．Computers are as emotional as human poets. 36．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Intelligent computer poets. B．A mirror of human ideas. C．Poetry by humans or computers. D．The importance of poetry. 【答案】34．A 35．C 36．C 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了诗歌捕捉人类精神的能力，以及人工智能创作诗歌的局限性，强调人类情感的独特性。 34．细节理解题。根据“To know the special ability of poetry to catch the human spirit, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year.”可知，设立世界诗歌日是为了“了解诗歌捕捉人类精神的特殊能力”，故选A。 35．推理判断题。根据“Schwartz said during his speech. A computer may be able to create poems that are correct in both grammar and style, but it wouldn’t be able to get the same meanings and feelings across as a human poet could.”可知，作者引用Schwartz的观点指出计算机无法像人类一样传递深层情感，故选C。 36．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，全文围绕人类与AI创作诗歌的对比展开，选项C“人类还是计算机的诗”最全面概括主题。故选C。 四、还原信息(共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I run a lot of writing workshops in secondary schools and what I often see is this: teenagers in class just look at the blank page and freeze. Even when I tell them they can’t get it wrong in creative writing, they still stop and feel painful, looking to me for clear and definite instructions. This behavior results from their training to mimic (模仿). 37 In time, they are afraid of getting things wrong and risking failure. Creativity is no longer supported and is even viewed as a soft skill, or even a weakness. However, creativity is highly valued by employers. According to The Conversation, creativity has been the number-one skill needed by 20 million job ads on Linked for two years in a row. 38 Because of limited educational resources and assessment (评价) pressures, teenagers’ thinking becomes increasingly narrow, leaving them afraid to explore other possibilities. 39 It’s just an ability to make new connections and follow where they go. Actually, creativity requires qualities available to us all: courage, observation, curiosity, flexibility and perseverance. So how do we help teenagers be hopeful and brave? Firstly, we need to avoid the idea that their whole futures depend on this very task or that decision. Life is long enough to try many things, and to change directions. There is no right way to live a life. Secondly, let’s encourage raising questions. Children are naturally curious, but this curiosity often fades as they grow older, although it still exists within them. Just because they lack answers doesn’t mean they shouldn’t ask questions, rather, they should ask even more. 40 Young people need reminding that their stories haven’t been written. They need opportunities to try new things. They need permission to keep asking “What else is possible?” because anything is. A．But in schools, it is different. B．Being creative isn’t a magical skill. C．It allows us to understand their feelings better. D．They know it is a safe way to get good grades. E．The main problem is how to keep those creative juices flowing. F．The world is held together with unanswered questions and endless possibilities. 【答案】37．D 38．A 39．B 40．F 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了现今，由于有限的教育资源和评估压力，青少年的思维变得越来越狭隘，缺乏创造力，文中提出了几个帮助青少年充满希望和勇敢的建议。 37．根据上文“looking to me for clear and definite instructions. This behavior results from their training to mimic”可知，学生会向“我”寻求清晰明确的指导，这种行为源于它们的模仿训练。由此可知，平时学生学习训练时是按照模仿来训练的，他们知道这种方法可以让他们的成绩稳定，选项D“他们知道这是获得好成绩的安全方法。”符合语境，故选D。 38．根据上文“However, creativity is highly valued by employers. According to The Conversation, creativity has been the number-one skill needed by 20 million job ads on Linked for two years in a row.”和下文“Because of limited educational resources and assessment (评价) pressures, teenagers’ thinking becomes increasingly narrow, leaving them afraid to explore other possibilities.”可知，上文提到社会招聘的是富有创造力的人，而下文却又提到学校里的学生思想越来越狭隘，缺乏创造力，因此上下文是转折关系，选项A“但在学校，情况就不同了。”符合语境，故选A。 39．根据下文“It’s just an ability to make new connections and follow where they go. Actually, creativity requires qualities available to us all: courage, observation, curiosity, flexibility and perseverance.”可知，本段在介绍什么是创造力，选项B“创造力并不是一种神奇的技能。”符合语境，故选B。 40．根据上文“Just because they lack answers doesn’t mean they shouldn’t ask questions, rather, they should ask even more.”可知，此处讲的是鼓劢孩子多问问题，因为这个宇宙有无限的谜底需要孩子去问，选项F“宇宙是由未解之谜和无限可能性组成的。”符合语境，故选F。 第II卷 笔答题（满分34分） 五、阅读回答(共4小题；前3小题每题2分，第4小题3分，满分9分) 阅读下面短文，回答短文后的问题。(前3题每题答案不超过10个词)。 Hello Kitty, the cat with no mouth, has become the first cartoon kitty to go to space! Lauren Rojas, a 13-year-old girl from America came up with the idea for her science project at school. The inspiration (灵感) came from a television programme Lauren once watched. Lauren spent about a month building a small silver rocket (火箭) and a weather balloon by herself. She put the Hello Kitty doll into the rocket and tied it with the balloon. After testing wind direction and temperature, she set the balloon free. After a few minutes, the balloon rose more than 90,000 feet above the ground. It was near outer space. There, the air was so thin that the balloon burst (爆炸). The balloon was 53 times larger than its original size before bursting open. Hello Kitty’s rocket fell back down to Earth with the help of a parachute (降落伞), and landed safely. Hello Kitty went along for the ride in the rocket just for fun. “I have liked her ever since I was 6 years old,” Lauren told the New York Daily News. “I thought it would be really fun to add a toy inside the rocket.” Lauren loves carrying out science experiments (实验). This experience increased her interest in science even further. 41．How long did Lauren spend building her rocket and the weather balloon? 42．Why did the balloon burst near outer space? 43．What do you think of Lauren? 44．Would you like to carry out such an experiment? Why or why not? 【答案】41．About a month. 42．Because the air was too thin. 43．She is creative and science-loving. 44．Yes, I’d love to. Because it combines fun with scientific exploration. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述13岁美国女孩Lauren Rojas为完成科学项目，自制火箭和气象气球将Hello Kitty送入太空边缘的经过。 41．根据文章第2段“Lauren spent about a month building a small silver rocket and a weather balloon by herself.”可知，Lauren花了约一个月时间独自建造小型银色火箭和气象气球。故填About a month. 42．根据文章第3段“There, the air was so thin that the balloon burst.”可知，气球因空气过于稀薄而破裂。故填Because the air was too thin. 43．根据文章第1段“Lauren Rojas, a 13-year-old girl from America came up with the idea for her science project at school.”及最后一段“Lauren loves carrying out science experiments...increased her interest in science”可知，Lauren热爱科学实验，此次经历进一步加深她对科学的兴趣。可推知她富有创造力且热爱科学。故填She is creative and science-loving. 44．开放性问答，言之有理即可。故填Yes, I’d love to. Because it combines fun with scientific exploration. 六、综合填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 I first became interested in calligraphy (书法) when my mum took me to a museum.

Here are three important characters. 1Ban Zhao (45—116): China’s First Female Historian As the first woman in Chinese history to work as a professional historian, Ban Zhao completed her brother Ban Gu’s important work Book of Han, which recorded 230 years of Western Han history. Emperor He admired her work so much that he asked her to teach history and astronomy to the royal family (皇室). Her most famous work Lessons for Women, with some old ideas by today’s standards, expressed the importance of education for women-a very new idea at the time. 2 Huang Daopo (1245—1330): The Cotton Queen This amazing inventor changed China’s cotton industry forever. After spending years learning advanced weaving (纺织) skills from the Li people in Hainan, she returned to her hometown near Shanghai and invented three game-changing tools: the cotton fluffer (to prepare cotton faster), the foot-powered spinning wheel (to spin thread more easily), and the multi-spindle weaving machine (to weave cloth quicker). Her inventions made cloth—making four times faster and helped many people earn money. 3Lady Yi (2nd Century): China’s First Female Doctor During China’s Western Han Dynasty (25—220 AD), while most women usually stayed at home, Lady Yi broke barriers (障碍) as China’s first recorded female doctor. She started as a palace maid (宫女) but taught herself medicine by secretly reading books in the royal library at night. Her big break came when she cured the Emperor’s favorite wife of a mysterious fever that male doctors couldn’t deal with. Then she became the first female Palace Medical Officer. Her artemisia treatment later helped scientist Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize with her malaria (疟疾) treatment in 2015! 23．How did Huang Daopo improve China’s cotton industry? A．By teaching women to read and write. B．By writing books about Han Dynasty history. C．By inventing tools making cloth production faster. D．By discovering new medicines for kinds of diseases. 24．Why was Lady Yi’s work important? A．She became China’s first female historian and writer. B．She invented foot-powered machines for farming. C．She wrote numbers of Lessons for Women about education. D．She helped develop a Nobel Prize-winning malaria treatment. 25．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To compare the lives of women in ancient and those in modern China. B．To describe three influential women in Chinese history and their achievements. C．To explain how ancient Chinese inventions are still being used today. D．To argue that women were more important than men in ancient China. B What happens when street dance meets Chinese martial arts (武术)? We recently found an impressive answer in two dancing boys. Earlier this month, Song Haoming, 10, and Fu Junxi, 14, made history at Juste Debout 2025 in Paris. Juste Debout is the world’s biggest street dance competition. In the finals, they danced Hip-Hop (嘻哈). They beat stronger adult dancers to enter the final four. Few had expected them to get this far. Song and Fu are very different. Pan Limin, the leader of CHUC’s youth street dance team, said the two boys were like fire and water. "Song is full of energy-always laughing and playful-just like fire," he said. "Fu is quiet, just like water.” In their dance, the pair wowed the audience with their cool Drunken Fist (醉拳) and Tai Chi moves. These martial arts elements (元素) added lots of energy to their performance. “The kids made up the moves themselves,” said Ms. Jia, Fu’s mother. “Their hard work paid off, and you could feel the excitement there.” Chinese elements have been used in street dance before. “Back in 2018, we used traditional culture in our dance called Yellow, River,” said Mr. Zhang, who works at CHUC． "We won the Lotus Award, China’s top dance prize." The use of Chinese elements allows for more possibilities to explore the art of street dance. Apart from Song and Fu, three other children took part in this year’s Juste Debout event. They also did well in their group, the Junior Dance Tour. "All five of our children made it to the final eight in their groups," said Pan. “But there are many more talented kids in our country. They just need a chance to show themselves.” 26．Why was it unexpected that they entered the final four? A．Because they were the youngest among all the dancers. B．Because they amazingly beat the older, more powerful dancers. C．Because they used some foreign dance styles. D．Because they didn’t take part in any international competitions before. 27．Which of the following might be the judges’ response (裁判的反应) to their show？ A．They preferred modern street dance. B．They were impressed by the cultural mix. C．They thought the boys were too young. D．They wanted more difficult moves. 28．Why does the author mention the Lotus Award? A．To explain how to win competitions. B．To list all dance awards in China. C．To show this was the first Chinese dance prize. D．To prove mixing Chinese culture has worked before. 29．What might help Song and Fu succeed according to the passage? A．Natural talent and good luck. B．Creativity and hard work. C．Bravery and cleverness. D．Excellent teacher and hard training. C A reality show about farming called Become a Farmer (《种地吧》) has recently become popular. Ten boys are given the task of spending 190 days on about 9.5 hectares’ of land. sowing, fertilizing (施肥) and harvesting the wheat in the countryside. These boys were already idols on stage before they joined the reality show. Now it is especially awesome to see them leave the stage and experience life of a farmer. It’s hard to imagine a group of people who have never done farm work before and yet have to do it now. They work together and encourage each other in their tasks. They have all sorts of goals and they believe that any dream can come true through their hard work. As they support each other all the time, they not only create wealth but also develop a close friendship through farming. This show also gets me thinking about how different lifestyles are in cities from those in the countryside. Farmers who raise pigs, cows, chickens and ducks at home do not get lost in the burden of modern society. For them, it is only life and nature that bring out the truest emotions in a person. While in big cities, people are stressed out by the fast pace of city life and the non-stop work day and night, so watching this show can help heal their tired hearts. The most important thing in making a successful reality show is to bring out its authenticity (真实性) which can win praise from its audience, and help people to release their stress from their busy everyday lives. 30．What can we learn about the reality show from Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2? A．Ten high school students joined the reality show. B．The boys need to work on the farmland for over half a year. C．The boys have done some farm work before. D．Each boy needs to finish his task all by himself. 31．Which word can be used to describe the boys in the reality show? A．Smart and creative. B．Brave and helpful. C．Hard-working and friendly. D．Talented and skillful. 32．What makes this show successful? A．The boys have many followers on social media platforms B．The boys are really very good at farming. C．Watching this show helps people reduce stress. D．This show teaches people a lot of farming skills. 33．In which section of a newspaper can you probably read this article? A．Busy City life. B．Modern Farming. C．Science and Technology. D．TV Shows and Culture. D US poet Allen Ginsberg once said, “Poetry (诗歌) is the one place where people can speak their original (独创的) human mind.” To know the special ability of poetry to catch the human spirit, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year. The magic of poetry lies in the connection built up through words between the writer and the reader. When we read a poem, we often imagine what the poet was thinking when he wrote it, or what he was doing at the time. These thoughts let us connect with the words better, as if we’d written the poem ourselves. But in the age of artificial intelligence (AI，人工智能), would a poem still mean as much if it wasn’t written by a human at all? Today, computers can create all kinds of texts, including research papers, books, news stories and even poems. In 2013, Australian researcher Oscar Schwartz and his friend Benjamin Laird created a website called “bot or not”, where readers can read poems and guess whether they were written by a human or a computer. During a recent speech at Ted X Sydney, Schwartz said that all over the years, some of the website’s poems were able to fool 65 percent of human readers into thinking they were written by a human. By creating the website, Schwartz and Laird hoped that people would doubt the difference between humans and machines—and be able to tell what makes us humans. “The human mind is not a cold, hard fact,” Schwartz said during his speech. A computer may be able to create poems that are correct in both grammar and style, but it wouldn’t be able to get the same meanings and feelings across as a human poet could. In fact, now AI software creates poems based on ones that have already been written by humans. As Schwartz noted, “The computer works like a mirror that reflects (反映) any idea of a human.” 34．Why is World Poetry Day held every year? A．To understand how poetry expresses human spirits. B．To compare the poetry written by humans and computers. C．To teach people how to write beautiful poetry. D．To show readers the poetry written by computers. 35．Which of the following may the writer agree with? A．Computers can replace humans in poetry writing. B．Computers can speak original human mind. C．Computers can’t show feelings as well as humans. D．Computers are as emotional as human poets. 36．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Intelligent computer poets. B．A mirror of human ideas. C．Poetry by humans or computers. D．The importance of poetry. 四、还原信息(共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I run a lot of writing workshops in secondary schools and what I often see is this: teenagers in class just look at the blank page and freeze. Even when I tell them they can’t get it wrong in creative writing, they still stop and feel painful, looking to me for clear and definite instructions. This behavior results from their training to mimic (模仿). 37 In time, they are afraid of getting things wrong and risking failure. Creativity is no longer supported and is even viewed as a soft skill, or even a weakness. However, creativity is highly valued by employers. According to The Conversation, creativity has been the number-one skill needed by 20 million job ads on Linked for two years in a row. 38 Because of limited educational resources and assessment (评价) pressures, teenagers’ thinking becomes increasingly narrow, leaving them afraid to explore other possibilities. 39 It’s just an ability to make new connections and follow where they go. Actually, creativity requires qualities available to us all: courage, observation, curiosity, flexibility and perseverance. So how do we help teenagers be hopeful and brave? Firstly, we need to avoid the idea that their whole futures depend on this very task or that decision. Life is long enough to try many things, and to change directions. There is no right way to live a life. Secondly, let’s encourage raising questions. Children are naturally curious, but this curiosity often fades as they grow older, although it still exists within them. Just because they lack answers doesn’t mean they shouldn’t ask questions, rather, they should ask even more. 40 Young people need reminding that their stories haven’t been written. They need opportunities to try new things. They need permission to keep asking “What else is possible?” because anything is. A．But in schools, it is different. B．Being creative isn’t a magical skill. C．It allows us to understand their feelings better. D．They know it is a safe way to get good grades. E．The main problem is how to keep those creative juices flowing. F．The world is held together with unanswered questions and endless possibilities. 第II卷 笔答题（满分34分） 五、阅读回答(共4小题；前3小题每题2分，第4小题3分，满分9分) 阅读下面短文，回答短文后的问题。(前3题每题答案不超过10个词)。 Hello Kitty, the cat with no mouth, has become the first cartoon kitty to go to space!
