B
It was June 14 and the last day of middle school had arrived.
I had spent the past couple of months trashing and treasuring all the things that I had accumulated in my classroom over the past 19 years. Looking into my classroom, you can see about two dozen boxes and bins inside, piled nearly three-quarters high to the ceiling, all packed and ready for the big move. The 22-million-dollar restoration work was only days away from starting and we were instructed that everything must go.
My parents Michael and Donna, wife Laura and newborn baby Summer had arrived that day. The students had heard so much about my daughter and were excited to meet her for the first time. My mother was there to help organize my classroom nearly 19 years ago and hadn’t seen it since. My father had visited on a few occasions, as had my wife. That day marked not only the end of an era for me, but the dawning of a new beginning.
The day before, I had thrown a party for my students. The feelings were mixed, as I knew that this would be the farewell (告别) party in my classroom of 19 years and the last time I would see all of these students together. I thought back to when they were all in middle school and would visit me in my classroom on my birthday. They made it an annual tradition. I will treasure these moments for the rest of my life.
Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe (敌人), a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk. I’ve learned over the years in working with over 2, 000 children that looking at things from an optimistic perspective and taking the time to foster relationships with people make the world a happier and safer place. No matter what a person’s life circumstances may be, you can be the change in their life that will bring them a sense of self-worth, which will ultimately provide them with the opportunity to become who they are meant to be. They might go on to change the world.
4. Why did the author pack his things in the classroom?
A. He was doing a cleaning.
B. He would quit his job as a teacher.
C. The classroom would soon be restored.
D. His students were graduating from middle school.
5. Why are the writer’s family members mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To explain the family’s relations with his students.
B. To demonstrate the family’s involvement in his job.
C. To list the family’s contribution to the classroom.
D. To show the family’s expectations for a new beginning.
6. What does the writer intend to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Think of the end in every beginning.
B. Change happens for better or for worse.
C. It is no good feeling attached to a place.
D. A positive attitude brings forth good changes.
7. What’s the tone of the writer in writing the article?
A. Bittersweet. B. Sad. C. Excited. D. Unconcemed.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。由上课教室翻修引发作者对于“变迁”的些许感悟。无论一个人的生活环境如何,你都可以成为他们生活中的改变,这将给他们带来自我价值感,最终为他们提供机会,让他们成为自己想要的人。他们可能会继续改变世界。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The 22- million-dollar restoration work was only days away from starting and we were instructed that everything must go. (2200万美元的修复工作离开始只有几天了,我们接到指示,一切都必须进行)”可知,教室很快需要翻修,东西需要清理出去。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“My parents Michael and Donna, wife Laura and newborn baby Summer had arrived that day. The students had heard so much about my daughter and were excited to meet her for the first time. My mother was there to help organize my classroom nearly 19 years ago and hadn’t seen it since. My father had visited on a few occasions, as had my wife. That day marked not only the end of an era for me, but the dawning of a new beginning. (那天,我的父母迈克尔和唐娜,妻子劳拉和刚出生的孩子萨默降生了。学生们听说了很多关于我女儿的事,第一次见到她都很兴奋。将近19年前,我母亲帮我整理教室,从那以后就再也没见过它。我父亲和妻子来过几次。对我来说,那一天不仅标志着一个时代的结束,而且标志着一个新开始的开始)”可推断,第三段作者提到家庭成员是为了证明家人对他工作的参与。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe (敌人), a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk. I’ve learned over the years in working with over 2, 000 children that looking at things from an optimistic perspective and taking the time to foster relationships with people make the world a happier and safer place. No matter what a person’s life circumstances may be, you can be the change in their life that will bring them a sense of self-worth, which will ultimately provide them with the opportunity to become who they are meant to be. They might go on to change the world. (变化,就像阳光,可以是朋友也可以是敌人,祝福也可以是诅咒,黎明也可以是黄昏。多年来,在与2000多名儿童共事的过程中,我学会了从乐观的角度看待事物,花时间培养与他人的关系,这会让世界变得更快乐、更安全。无论一个人的生活环境如何,你都可以改变他们的生活,给他们带来自我价值感,最终为他们提供机会成为他们想要成为的人。他们可能会改变世界)”可推断,作者认为积极的态度带来好的变化。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The feelings were mixed, as I knew that this would be the farewell (告别) party in my classroom of 19 years and the last time I would see all of these students together. I thought back to when they were all in middle school and would visit me in my classroom on my birthday. They made it an annual tradition. I will treasure these moments for the rest of my life. (我的心情是复杂的,因为我知道这将是我19年课堂上的告别派对,也是我最后一次看到所有这些学生在一起。我回想起他们都上中学的时候,在我生日那天来我的教室看我。他们把它变成了一年一度的传统。我将用我的余生来珍惜这些时刻)”、最后一段“I’ve learned over the years in working with over 2, 000 children that looking at things from an optimistic perspective and taking the time to foster relationships with people make the world a happier and safer place.( 多年来,在与2000多名儿童共事的过程中,我学会了从乐观的角度看待事物,花时间培养与他人的关系,这会让世界变得更快乐、更安全)”及全文可推断,作者的心情是复杂的,既有不舍的心情,也有乐观的心态,所以作者写这篇文章的语气是苦乐参半的。故选A。
C
Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.”
Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence”— a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. While we often see dead animals like deer or squirrels on roads, we don’t see the ones that never try to cross. This isolation can harm animal populations more than roadkill itself.
Chemicals from roads also damage the environment. Every year, the U. S. uses 20 million tons of road salt to melt ice, which pollutes nearby soil and plants. Cars release metals like zinc and copper, and tires leave behind microplastics. These pollutants make roadsides dangerous for creatures like monarch butterflies, even though these areas could otherwise be good habitats.
Roadsides sometimes attract animals with food like flowers or berries, but this becomes an “ecological trap”. Animals are drawn to these resources, only to face the danger of traffic.
Interestingly, when traffic decreases, animals quickly adapt. Researchers in the Bay Area found that when cars disappeared for months, white-crowned sparrows — small songbirds — started singing more complex and varied songs. Without traffic noise, they no longer needed to “shout” and could return to their natural behaviors. This shows how much roads affect wildlife — but also how adaptable animals can be.
Despite these challenges, Goldfarb says, certain species have made remarkable adaptations. He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.”
8. How does the author start the text in the first paragraph?
A. By stating a reason. B. By providing statistics.
C. By defining a concept. D. By giving examples.
9. What harmful impact do roads have on wildlife?
A. Less food supply. B. Restricted movement.
C. Increased predators. D. Species extinction.
10. What can we infer from Goldfarb’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Roads are not truly harmful to wildlife.
B. Urban foxes seldom get hit by vehicles.
C. Animals adapt cleverly to dangerous roads.
D. Wildlife protection deserves highest attention.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To advocate reducing traffic.
B. To preserve wildlife diversity.
C. To analyze roads’ effects on wildlife.
D. To highlight roadkill danger to animals.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了道路对野生动物产生的多方面影响,包括道路致死、阻碍迁徙、造成污染以及形成生态陷阱等,同时也提到了动物在交通减少时的适应能力和某些物种的适应性变化。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. (通过进化,动物发展出了许多保护自己免受捕食者伤害的方法。乌龟躲在壳里,臭鼬使用有臭味的液体。)”可知,作者在第一段通过列举乌龟和臭鼬保护自己的例子开启全文。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence” — a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. (道路还起到了屏障的作用,阻碍动物自由活动。高速公路上川流不息的车辆形成了科学家们所说的“移动围栏”——一道由车辆组成的墙,动物们会避开穿越这道墙。)”可知,道路对野生动物的有害影响之一是限制了它们的活动。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.” (他指出,芝加哥的都市狐狸过马路时据说会左右张望。“我们总把道路看作对动物普遍或唯一有害的力量,它们确实极具破坏性,”他说,“但野生动物也展现出惊人的适应能力和智慧,许多动物正在我们身边找到生存之道。”)”可知,从Goldfarb的话中可以推断出动物能聪明地适应危险的道路环境。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.” (但这些防御手段在汽车面前毫无用处,甚至还会带来危害。环境记者Ben Goldfarb解释道:“面对汽车时,这些防御方法不仅没用,甚至可能有害。一动不动是最糟糕的选择。道路致死是野生动物面临的一个严重威胁。”)”并结合全文内容可知,文章围绕道路对野生动物的影响展开,依次阐述了公路导致的路杀现象以及公路阻碍动物迁徙、带来化学污染、形成“生态陷阱”等负面影响,同时也提到了部分物种的适应性调整。整体是在分析公路对野生动物多方面的影响。故选C项。
D
Just by typing a few keywords and waiting a few seconds, a picture comparable to that painted by a human artist appears on screen. In some paintings created by AI, an elderly man can become a handsome animated image, and pets can be turned into adorable cartoon girls or boys. Ordinary people without any painting skills can be the possessors of a wonderful artwork with just a few taps of the keyboard.
However, new things are always accompanied by controversy (争议). Issues such as whether AI art generators will replace human artists, and the copyrights on AI paintings are being hotly debated.
Huang Ge, an illustrator from Shanghai, said that it usually takes several hours or days to complete one illustration. But with AI art generators, the efficiency is greatly improved. Ding Jiao, a comic artist, considers the popularity of AI art generators reasonable as many people who are not good at drawing can create great works through them and they can satisfy users’ curiosity.
So is AI painting gradually replacing human painting? In the hot topic “using a picture to prove that human artists will never be replaced by AI” online, many netizens uploaded their paintings to prove that humans are better than AI.
“Though AI technology has developed rapidly; AI cannot replace humans as it can just copy human behavior. The warmth and inspiration in human’s creations are irreplaceable,” said Ding Daoshi, an independent analyst in the Internet sector.
Another controversial issue is that there is no consensus of who owns the copyright of AI art. Some users have openly sold their AI paintings and earned money, but it is still a gray area about whether these artworks belong to the users, the digital tool developers or even AI. Ding Daoshi noted that the various sides should get together to debate the issue and come up with some accepted rules as soon as possible because AI is already involved deeply into the lives of human beings.
12. What can be learned about AI from paragraph 1?
A. It creates paintings of lower quality.
B. It has been widely used by professors.
C. It has various functions in creating artworks.
D. It is complex for people without basic painting skills.
13. According to Ding Daoshi, why human artists are irreplaceable?
A. They are the masters of AI technology.
B. Their behavior can hardly be copied by AI.
C. They give their works warmth and inspiration.
D. They keep exploring and developing their skills.
14. What does the underlined word “consensus” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Agreement. B. Concern. C. Argument. D. Misunderstanding.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Art in the New Age. B. Controversies on AI Art.
C. The Future of AI Paintings. D. The Rise of AI Art Generators.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能艺术所引发的争议,包括人工智能是否会取代人类艺术家以及人工智能艺术的版权归属问题等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Just by typing a few keywords and waiting a few seconds, a picture comparable to that painted by a human artist appears on screen. In some paintings created by AI, an elderly man can become a handsome animated image, and pets can be turned into adorable cartoon girls or boys. (只需输入几个关键词,等待几秒钟,屏幕上就会出现一幅与人类艺术家绘制的画作相媲美的图片。在人工智能创作的一些画作中,一位老人可以变成英俊的动画形象,宠物也可以变成可爱的卡通女孩或男孩)”可知,人工智能在创作艺术品方面有多种功能,满足普通人创作需求。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“‘Though AI technology has developed rapidly; AI cannot replace humans as it can just copy human behavior. The warmth and inspiration in human’s creations are irreplaceable,’ said Ding Daoshi, an independent analyst in the Internet sector. (“尽管人工智能技术发展迅速;但人工智能无法取代人类,因为它只能复制人类的行为。人类创作中的温暖和灵感是不可替代的,”互联网行业独立分析师丁道师表示)”可知,根据丁道师的说法,人工智能的局限性在于无法复现人类情感与创造力,所以人类艺术家不能被替代的原因在于他们赋予了作品温暖和灵感。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Some users have openly sold their AI paintings and earned money, but it is still a gray area about whether these artworks belong to the users, the digital tool developers or even AI. (一些用户公开出售他们的人工智能画作并赚钱,但这些作品是属于用户、数字工具开发者还是人工智能,目前仍是一个灰色地带)”可知,关于人工智能艺术的版权归属问题,目前还没有达成一致意见。所以划线词consensus的意思是“一致意见,共识”,与Agreement意义相近。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“However, new things are always accompanied by controversy (争议). Issues such as whether AI art generators will replace human artists, and the copyrights on AI paintings are being hotly debated. (然而,新事物总是伴随着争议。人工智能艺术生成器是否会取代人类艺术家,以及人工智能绘画的版权等问题正在激烈争论中)”以及全文内容可知,全文围绕AI艺术的两大争议展开:是否取代人类艺术家,通过网友、艺术家(如Huang Ge、Ding Jiao)和专家(Ding Daoshi)的正反观点对比体现;版权归属争议,指出目前法律空白,呼吁制定规则。选项B“关于人工智能艺术的争议”精准概括核心内容,适合作为文章标题。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Almost everyone procrastinates (拖延). Whether it’s avoiding an assignment, delaying house chores、or putting off a visit to the dentist, we’ve all been there. The tasks you avoid aren’t always hard or time-consuming, but they may cause discomfort, leading to delay and a cycle of guilt、stress, and missed opportunities. ___16___
·Begin with bite-sized tasks.
One of the biggest reasons we procrastinate is that tasks seem too big or tricky. ___17___ When you break a task into smaller steps, it becomes much easier. For example, if you’re avoiding cleaning your room, don’t aim to finish it in one day. Instead, focus on sorting just one corner or organizing a single shelf.
·___18___
We often procrastinate on the tasks we find most unpleasant. Whether it’s an awkward conversation you need to have or a particularly tough assignment, putting off these tasks only increases anxiety. However, if you do them first in the morning, you’ll free up mental space to handle the rest of your day more smoothly.
·Use rewards to stay motivated.
___19___ One way to encourage yourself to tackle uncomfortable tasks is by using rewards. Pair an unpleasant task with a desirable activity, or promise yourself a treat once the task is done. This method transforms the task into a stepping stone to something you enjoy.
·Apply the two-minute rule.
The two-minute rule suggests that if a task can be done in two minutes or less, do it immediately. ___20___ For example, if you need to send a quick email, respond to a text, or wash a few dishes, handle it immediately. These small actions might seem insignificant, but they can create momentum (动力) towards larger tasks.
A. Tackle your toughest task first.
B. Focus on the most challenging task.
C. It helps stop small tasks from piling up.
D. The trick is to begin with something simple.
E. A little external push is sometimes what we need.
F. Below are some strategies to help you conquer procrastination.
G. Undoubtedly, these negative feelings will cause your procrastination.
【答案】16. F 17. D 18. A 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了克服拖延症的方法。
【16题详解】
上文“The tasks you avoid aren’t always hard or time-consuming, but they may cause discomfort, leading to delay and a cycle of guilt, stress, and missed opportunities.(你避免的任务并不总是困难或耗时的,但它们可能会引起不适,导致延误和内疚、压力和错失机会的循环)”说明拖延会带来负面影响。空处和前文为顺接关系,引出下文介绍克服拖延的方法。所以F项“以下是一些帮助你克服拖延的策略。”承接上文,并引出下文各段落内容,符合语境。故选F。
【17题详解】
上文“One of the biggest reasons we procrastinate is that tasks seem too big or tricky. (我们拖延的最大原因之一是任务看起来太大或太棘手)”说明了拖延的一个原因是任务看起来太大或太棘手,空处应承接上文,说明解决这个问题的方法,D选项中的“begin with something simple”与上文中的“tasks seem too big or tricky”形成对比,说明从简单的事情开始,所以D选项“诀窍是从简单的事情开始”承接上文,符合语境。故选D。
【18题详解】
由下文“We often procrastinate on the tasks we find most unpleasant. Whether it’s an awkward conversation you need to have or a particularly tough assignment, putting off these tasks only increases anxiety. However, if you do them first in the morning, you’ll free up mental space to handle the rest of your day more smoothly. (我们经常拖延那些我们觉得最不愉快的任务。无论是你需要进行的一次尴尬的对话,还是一项特别艰巨的任务,推迟这些任务只会增加焦虑。然而,如果你在早上先做这些事情,你会腾出心理空间,让一天中的其他事情处理得更顺利)”可知,本段主要说明了先处理最困难的任务的好处,空处为本段小标题,所以A选项“先处理最困难的任务”引出下文内容,适合用作段落小标题。故选A。
【19题详解】
上文“Use rewards to stay motivated. (使用奖励来保持动力)”建议使用奖励来保持动力,空处应承接上文,说明使用奖励的原因,E选项中的“external push”与上文中的“rewards”相呼应,说明外部的推动力是我们需要的,所以E选项“有时候,我们需要的只是一点外部的推动力”承接上文,符合语境。故选E。
【20题详解】
上文“The two-minute rule suggests that if a task can be done in two minutes or less, do it immediately. (两分钟法则表明,如果一个任务可以在两分钟或更短的时间内完成,那就立即去做)”介绍了两分钟法则,空处应承接上文,说明这个法则的好处,C选项中的“It”指代上文中的“The two-minute rule”,说明这个法则可以阻止小任务堆积,所以C选项“它有助于阻止小任务堆积”承接上文,符合语境。故选C。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:由中国年轻导演陈亦诺执导的纪录片《我们之间的十年》荣获“年度最佳网络纪录片金天使奖”。“(make) by young Chinese director Chen Yinuo”作后置定语,make(制作)用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语The documentary Ten Years Between Us之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动和完成。故填made。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:《我们之间的十年》的灵感最初源于导演陈亦诺的个人经历。提示词修饰动词短语grew out of,用副词originally作状语,意为“最初”。故填originally。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这部电影记录了她与几位童年时期住在她家的“互惠生姐妹”重聚的旅程,展现了一个温暖承诺和文化交流的十年故事。“____ (live) with her family during her childhood”为限制性定语从句,修饰先行词“au pair sisters”,指人,关系词将其代入定语从句中作主语,应使用关系代词who或that引导该从句。故填who/that。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这部电影记录了她与几位童年时期住在她家的“互惠生姐妹”重聚的旅程,展现了一个温暖承诺和文化交流的十年故事。“(show) a ten-year story of a warm promise and cultural exchange”作伴随状语,show(展现)用非谓语动词形式,与其逻辑主语The film之间是主动关系,用现在分词表主动。故填showing。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:中美电视节“金天使奖”被公认为一项重要的文化交流活动。be recognized as...是固定短语,意为“被认为是……,被公认为……”。故填as。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:它已成为两国人民交流的重要象征,不仅促进了影视行业的务实合作,而且让两国人民通过电影的力量相互理解和欣赏。可数名词exchange作宾语,意为“交流”,根据句意,两国人民之间的交流不止一次,用复数形式表泛指。故填exchanges。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:它已成为两国人民交流的重要象征,不仅促进了影视行业的务实合作,而且让两国人民通过电影的力量相互理解和欣赏。not only...but (also)...是固定短语,意为“不但……而且……”。故填but。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它已成为两国人民交流的重要象征,不仅促进了影视行业的务实合作,而且让两国人民通过电影的力量相互理解和欣赏。allow sb. to do sth.是固定短语,意为“允许某人做某事”,用不定式形式to understand作宾语补足语。故填to understand。
【44题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:据报道,《我们之间的十年》已被选入“新时代,新形象”中外合拍计划。report(报道)是谓语动词,与形式主语It之间是被动关系,讲述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语是第三人称单数代词,谓语动词用单数形式;且It is reported that...是固定句型,意为“据报道……”。故填is reported。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:陈一诺说:“等待重聚的姐妹们足以支持第二季的制作,我们已经为下一个十年做了约定。”appointment(约定)是可数名词单数形式,泛指“一个约定”,且appointment发音以元音音素开头,所以用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。

Our planet is facing severe environmental challenges — air pollution, plastic waste and deforestation threaten ecosystems worldwide. And it’s time to take immediate action.
Here are my proposals: Firstly, reduce single-use plastics. Carry reusable bags and bottles, which can cut plastic waste by 50%. Secondly, conserve energy. Turn off lights when leaving rooms and choose public transport. If every student does this, our carbon footprint will decrease significantly.
Every effort counts. Let’s join hands and make the Earth — our shared home a greener place to live in.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给信息续写成一篇完整的短文。
Tina was a high school girl who loved comparing herself with others. She always cared about the latest clothes, expensive phones, and designer bags. Whenever someone showed off a new item, she’d feel jealous and immediately turn to her parents for something better. Having no idea how to deal with it, her parents had no choice but to satisfy her. With what she wanted on, peers would follow her, flattering her from head to toe. Tina smiled, with a barely perceived sense of emptiness.
At the beginning of the fall semester, Tina noticed a new face from another class. It’s Rita, who just transferred from a neighboring school. The girl was always alone, with simple clothes and an old schoolbag, but a smile hovered on her lips wherever she went. After school, Rita never got involved in classmates’ discussions about brands or luxuries. Instead, she herself spent most of her time in the classroom, studying or helping classmates with mathematics problems, or in the school library, doing voluntary jobs. One month later, Rita got straight As in a series of comprehensive tests and was awarded “the most popular student” in the school assembly. Her shining smile was brighter than ever, and young boys and girls began to gather around her.
One afternoon, Tina walked up to Rita, who was sitting under a tree and reading a book. “Hi, Tina. I’m Tina. What makes you so happy every day? You didn’t even have any friends.” Tina poured out her puzzles. Rita looked up with a familiar smile, “I feel every single day fruitful. I feel happy just because I’m on the way of being the one I want to be. That’s the secret.” Something hit Tina at that very moment. She turned back and headed home, without saying anything, not even goodbye. That night, Tina lay in bed and stared at the ceiling, replaying Rita’s words in her mind and lost in deep thought.
注意:
1. 续写词数总计为100词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, Tina decided to make a change.
______________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Besides self-satisfaction, Tina received plenty of praise and compliments from others.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The next day, Tina decided to make a change. She stopped asking her parents for expensive things that she actually didn’t need. She even gave away some of her unused designer bags to charity. After class, she no longer dived into discussions as she used to. Instead, she devoted herself to academic subjects in the classroom, sometimes helping others who got stuck. What’s more, she joined Rita, volunteering in the school library, sorting books and assisting younger students. Every small act made her feel a sense of fulfillment she had never experienced before.
Besides self-satisfaction, Tina received plenty of praise and compliments from others. Teachers and schoolmates admired her for being so kind and hard-working, let alone her greatly improved grades. Her parents were not only proud of her academic performance, but were also surprised to see her getting rid of unrealistic comparisons. Rita smiled sincerely at her, with her thumb up. Tina was overflowing with happiness, hardly containing her excitement. It was then that she truly understood that real happiness didn’t lie in what could be easily got from owning better items, but in what was earned with great efforts and what was done for others.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,本文以人物成长为线索展开,讲述了原本爱慕虚荣、热衷攀比的女孩Tina,在看到转学生Rita不追求物质、专注学习与助人却收获真正快乐与认可后,内心受到触动,决心做出改变。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“第二天,蒂娜决定做出改变。”可知,第一段可描写Tina具体的改变行为,包括不再索要奢侈品、投身学习、帮助同学、参与志愿活动等,体现她从外在攀比转向内在充实。
②由第二段首句内容“除了内心的满足感之外,蒂娜还得到了许多来自他人的赞扬和赞美。”可知,第二段可描写老师、同学、父母及Rita对她的认可,以及Tina的感悟。
2. 续写线索:停止索要奢侈品、捐赠闲置物品——专注学习、帮助同学——参与图书馆志愿工作——获得内心满足感——收获他人赞扬与认可——领悟
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①停止:stop/cease
②捐赠:give away/donate
③欣赏:admire/appreciate
情绪类
①惊讶:surprised/astonished
②兴奋:excitement/thrill
【点睛】【高分句型1】She stopped asking her parents for expensive things that she actually didn’t need. (运用了由关系代词that引导的限制性定语从句)
【高分句型2】It was then that she truly understood that real happiness didn’t lie in what could be easily got from owning better items, but in what was earned with great efforts and what was done for others. (运用了强调句型、that引导的宾语从句以及what引导的宾语从句)

It was June 14 and the last day of middle school had arrived.
I had spent the past couple of months trashing and treasuring all the things that I had accumulated in my classroom over the past 19 years. Looking into my classroom, you can see about two dozen boxes and bins inside, piled nearly three-quarters high to the ceiling, all packed and ready for the big move. The 22-million-dollar restoration work was only days away from starting and we were instructed that everything must go.
My parents Michael and Donna, wife Laura and newborn baby Summer had arrived that day. The students had heard so much about my daughter and were excited to meet her for the first time. My mother was there to help organize my classroom nearly 19 years ago and hadn’t seen it since. My father had visited on a few occasions, as had my wife. That day marked not only the end of an era for me, but the dawning of a new beginning.
The day before, I had thrown a party for my students. The feelings were mixed, as I knew that this would be the farewell (告别) party in my classroom of 19 years and the last time I would see all of these students together. I thought back to when they were all in middle school and would visit me in my classroom on my birthday. They made it an annual tradition. I will treasure these moments for the rest of my life.
Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe (敌人), a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk. I’ve learned over the years in working with over 2, 000 children that looking at things from an optimistic perspective and taking the time to foster relationships with people make the world a happier and safer place. No matter what a person’s life circumstances may be, you can be the change in their life that will bring them a sense of self-worth, which will ultimately provide them with the opportunity to become who they are meant to be. They might go on to change the world.

Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.”
Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence”— a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. While we often see dead animals like deer or squirrels on roads, we don’t see the ones that never try to cross. This isolation can harm animal populations more than roadkill itself.
Chemicals from roads also damage the environment. Every year, the U. S. uses 20 million tons of road salt to melt ice, which pollutes nearby soil and plants. Cars release metals like zinc and copper, and tires leave behind microplastics. These pollutants make roadsides dangerous for creatures like monarch butterflies, even though these areas could otherwise be good habitats.
Roadsides sometimes attract animals with food like flowers or berries, but this becomes an “ecological trap”. Animals are drawn to these resources, only to face the danger of traffic.
Interestingly, when traffic decreases, animals quickly adapt. Researchers in the Bay Area found that when cars disappeared for months, white-crowned sparrows — small songbirds — started singing more complex and varied songs. Without traffic noise, they no longer needed to “shout” and could return to their natural behaviors. This shows how much roads affect wildlife — but also how adaptable animals can be.
Despite these challenges, Goldfarb says, certain species have made remarkable adaptations. He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.”
8. How does the author start the text in the first paragraph?
A. By stating a reason. B. By providing statistics.
C. By defining a concept. D. By giving examples.
9. What harmful impact do roads have on wildlife?
A. Less food supply. B. Restricted movement.
C. Increased predators. D. Species extinction.
10. What can we infer from Goldfarb’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Roads are not truly harmful to wildlife.
B. Urban foxes seldom get hit by vehicles.
C. Animals adapt cleverly to dangerous roads.
D. Wildlife protection deserves highest attention.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To advocate reducing traffic.
B. To preserve wildlife diversity.
C. To analyze roads’ effects on wildlife.
D. To highlight roadkill danger to animals.

Just by typing a few keywords and waiting a few seconds, a picture comparable to that painted by a human artist appears on screen. In some paintings created by AI, an elderly man can become a handsome animated image, and pets can be turned into adorable cartoon girls or boys. Ordinary people without any painting skills can be the possessors of a wonderful artwork with just a few taps of the keyboard.
However, new things are always accompanied by controversy (争议). Issues such as whether AI art generators will replace human artists, and the copyrights on AI paintings are being hotly debated.
Huang Ge, an illustrator from Shanghai, said that it usually takes several hours or days to complete one illustration. But with AI art generators, the efficiency is greatly improved. Ding Jiao, a comic artist, considers the popularity of AI art generators reasonable as many people who are not good at drawing can create great works through them and they can satisfy users’ curiosity.
So is AI painting gradually replacing human painting? In the hot topic “using a picture to prove that human artists will never be replaced by AI” online, many netizens uploaded their paintings to prove that humans are better than AI.
“Though AI technology has developed rapidly; AI cannot replace humans as it can just copy human behavior. The warmth and inspiration in human’s creations are irreplaceable,” said Ding Daoshi, an independent analyst in the Internet sector.
Another controversial issue is that there is no consensus of who owns the copyright of AI art. Some users have openly sold their AI paintings and earned money, but it is still a gray area about whether these artworks belong to the users, the digital tool developers or even AI. Ding Daoshi noted that the various sides should get together to debate the issue and come up with some accepted rules as soon as possible because AI is already involved deeply into the lives of human beings.
12. What can be learned about AI from paragraph 1?
A. It creates paintings of lower quality.
B. It has been widely used by professors.
C. It has various functions in creating artworks.
D. It is complex for people without basic painting skills.
13. According to Ding Daoshi, why human artists are irreplaceable?
A. They are the masters of AI technology.
B. Their behavior can hardly be copied by AI.
C. They give their works warmth and inspiration.
D. They keep exploring and developing their skills.
14. What does the underlined word “consensus” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Agreement. B. Concern. C. Argument. D. Misunderstanding.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Art in the New Age. B. Controversies on AI Art.
C. The Future of AI Paintings. D. The Rise of AI Art Generators.

Almost everyone procrastinates (拖延). Whether it’s avoiding an assignment, delaying house chores、or putting off a visit to the dentist, we’ve all been there. The tasks you avoid aren’t always hard or time-consuming, but they may cause discomfort, leading to delay and a cycle of guilt、stress, and missed opportunities. ___16___
·Begin with bite-sized tasks.
One of the biggest reasons we procrastinate is that tasks seem too big or tricky. ___17___ When you break a task into smaller steps, it becomes much easier. For example, if you’re avoiding cleaning your room, don’t aim to finish it in one day. Instead, focus on sorting just one corner or organizing a single shelf.
·___18___
We often procrastinate on the tasks we find most unpleasant. Whether it’s an awkward conversation you need to have or a particularly tough assignment, putting off these tasks only increases anxiety. However, if you do them first in the morning, you’ll free up mental space to handle the rest of your day more smoothly.
·Use rewards to stay motivated.
___19___ One way to encourage yourself to tackle uncomfortable tasks is by using rewards. Pair an unpleasant task with a desirable activity, or promise yourself a treat once the task is done. This method transforms the task into a stepping stone to something you enjoy.
·Apply the two-minute rule.
The two-minute rule suggests that if a task can be done in two minutes or less, do it immediately. ___20___ For example, if you need to send a quick email, respond to a text, or wash a few dishes, handle it immediately.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给信息续写成一篇完整的短文。
Tina was a high school girl who loved comparing herself with others. She always cared about the latest clothes, expensive phones, and designer bags. Whenever someone showed off a new item, she’d feel jealous and immediately turn to her parents for something better. Having no idea how to deal with it, her parents had no choice but to satisfy her. With what she wanted on, peers would follow her, flattering her from head to toe. Tina smiled, with a barely perceived sense of emptiness.
At the beginning of the fall semester, Tina noticed a new face from another class. It’s Rita, who just transferred from a neighboring school. The girl was always alone, with simple clothes and an old schoolbag, but a smile hovered on her lips wherever she went. After school, Rita never got involved in classmates’ discussions about brands or luxuries. Instead, she herself spent most of her time in the classroom, studying or helping classmates with mathematics problems, or in the school library, doing voluntary jobs. One month later, Rita got straight As in a series of comprehensive tests and was awarded “the most popular student” in the school assembly. Her shining smile was brighter than ever, and young boys and girls began to gather around her.
One afternoon, Tina walked up to Rita, who was sitting under a tree and reading a book. “Hi, Tina. I’m Tina. What makes you so happy every day? You didn’t even have any friends.” Tina poured out her puzzles. Rita looked up with a familiar smile, “I feel every single day fruitful. I feel happy just because I’m on the way of being the one I want to be. That’s the secret.” Something hit Tina at that very moment. She turned back and headed home, without saying anything, not even goodbye. That night, Tina lay in bed and stared at the ceiling, replaying Rita’s words in her mind and lost in deep thought.
注意:
1. 续写词数总计为100词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, Tina decided to make a change.
______________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Besides self-satisfaction, Tina received plenty of praise and compliments from others.
