You may consider proposing a digital smart canteen system which enables students to order their desired dishes and select their pick-up time in advance. This innovative method can help students save time during lunch, allowing them to collect their chosen meals at their convenience. Moreover, school kitchen staff can monitor food consumption accurately and adjust meal preparations based on actual orders so as to cut down on food waste. I hope my suggestions can be of help to you. Yours, Li Hua  Possible version 2: 两个方案建议（智能学习工具和虚拟现实教学），分别有各自的理由 Dear Jim,  I’m thrilled to receive your letter and eager to share with you my ideas for a smart school plan. Firstly, classrooms should be equipped with advanced digital tools, such as interactive smart boards, tablets for students and high-speed internet. These tools can support learning apps that tailor educational content to students’ individual needs, which can significantly enhance study efficiency. Moreover, incorporating virtual reality into the curriculum can transform the learning experience. Just imagine studying in a school where textbook concepts all comes to life! For example, when learning about gravity in physics, students can take a virtual spacewalk to experience the zero gravity firsthand. Isn’t that thrilling? What do you think of my suggestions? I hope they can inspire you and help your plan stand out.  Yours, Li Hua Possible version 3: 两个方案建议（校园生活和数字学习），分别有各自的理由 Dear Jim, Knowing your interest in the Smart Campus Project at your school, I’m delighted to share my advice. You may focus on improving students’ life experience. For example, you can suggest building a digital smart canteen system or equipping the gym with AI devices. These systems will enable students to enjoy more personalized services, making their school life more convenient and enjoyable. When it comes to students’ learning, integrating virtual reality courses into the curriculum can be a great way to transform their learning experience. Also, a digital library will definitely provide students with access to more diverse and interactive materials, which will make learning more immersive and tailored to individual needs. I wish you all the best in your efforts! Yours, Li Hua 读后续写 With AI’s assistance, Mira began her plan. Instead of urging her grandmother to eat as before, she chose a gentler way and started asking for help. One quiet afternoon, she placed some vegetables on the table and said softly, “Grandma, could you teach me how to cut them the way you used to?” The old woman hesitated, her fingers trembling slightly above the knife, as if unsure whether she was still capable. After a short pause, she finally nodded. As she guided Mira’s hands patiently, Mira noticed her grandmother slowly pick up the spoon and take a small sip of soup(抿一口汤) herself. Though hesitant at first, she didn’t push it away this time. Meal by meal, resistance faded. The tight lines on her face softened, and the silence around the table was replaced by gentle conversation and a quiet warmth. As meals became less of a battle, Mira decided to relight the sparkle in her grandmother's eyes. One evening, she brought out a box of old fabrics and needles and asked her to teach her how to sew properly. Grandma’s eyes lit up instantly, and for a moment, she seemed younger. Sitting by the window, she explained every stitch(一针一线) with great patience, just like she once did in her little shop years ago. As memories flowed, laughter replaced silence, and confidence slowly replaced doubt. Almost without noticing, she finished her meal beside her sewing tools. For the first time in weeks, she did so without being reminded. Watching this, Mira finally realized that what her grandmother truly needed was not food itself, but the feeling of being needed, respected, and valued. 【A篇】21. C 22. A 23. A 说明文。文章指出AI能耗巨大，但企业仍需采用AI。为应对能源挑战，需采取智能策略。文章强调企业需超越狭隘角色，创造共享价值，实现商业、社会和环境共赢。 【21题详解】细节理解题。根据文章中给出的数据表格，“ChatGPT Response”的每日能源使用量为621.4 MWh，而“Google Search”的每日能源使用量为10.8 MWh。通过简单的减法计算，621.4 MWh-10.8 MWh=610.6 MWh，即可得出ChatGPT每天比Google Search多消耗610.6 MWh的能源。故选C项。 【22题详解】推理判断题。根据图片中第一部分内容“Hardware Upgrades: Use power-limited, carbon-efficient hardware (e.g, IBM’s 2025 new chips) to cut energy use.(硬件升级：采用功率消耗低、碳排放量小的硬件设备（例如，IBM 的 2025 年新芯片）以降低能源消耗)”可知，采用节能芯片可以直接减少AI运行时的能源消耗。故选A项。 【23题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中Lauren Smart的话“To address AI-energy risks and unlock long-term value, companies and investors must move beyond their narrow roles in the AI value chain. They should pursue strategies that create shared value by advancing business goals while benefiting society and the environment,(为了应对AI能源风险并释放长期价值，公司和投资者必须超越他们在AI价值链中的狭隘角色。他们应该采取既能推进商业目标又能造福社会和环境的策略，以创造共享价值)”可知，Lauren Smart认为AI公司应该采取的使命是创造共享价值。故选A项。 【B篇】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. D 记叙文。文章主要讲述了桑杰旺堆从一名对火车充满向往的草原牧童，凭借不懈付出和执着追求，成为青藏铁路复兴号动车组首位司机并荣获“全国劳动模范”称号的追梦故事。 【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As a herdsman’s son, his first encounter with a train was a colorful picture in a textbook at age seven — a spark that lit a lifelong dream.(作为一名牧民的儿子，他七岁时第一次“接触”火车，是课本上一张色彩鲜艳的图片——这颗火花点燃了他一生的梦想)”可知，最初点燃桑杰旺堆梦想的是课本上一张火车的图片。故选A项。 【25题详解】词句猜测题。划线词组下文“To master its demanding curves and slopes, Sonam designed a unique test: placing a whiteboard pen upright on the console. Every time it fell down, he would note the time, location, and throttle (油门) position, insisting until the ride became perfectly smooth.(为了熟练驾驭这条线路难度极高的弯道和坡道，桑杰旺堆设计了一个独特的测试方法：将一支白板笔竖直立在操作台上。每当笔倒下来，他都会记录下对应的时间、位置和油门档位，始终坚持练习，直到列车行驶得平稳无虞)”描述了他为掌握线路曲线和坡度所做的努力。由此可知，honing his craft指的是“打磨技能、提升专业能力”。故选B项。 【26题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Yet, this dream carried him to the Lanzhou Railway School, where he spent holidays alone in his dormitory, determined to conquer tough subjects like mechanical drawing and circuit principles.(然而，这个梦想让他进入了兰州铁路学校，在那里他假期独自留在宿舍，决心攻克机械制图和电路原理等难题)”、第二段中的“Every time it fell down, he would note the time, location, and throttle (油门) position, insisting until the ride became perfectly smooth.(每次笔倒了，他都会记录下时间、位置和油门位置，一直坚持到行车变得完美平稳)”以及第三段中的“He operated on a simple principle: there was always room for improvement. He would rush to learn from every engine failure, even on his days off and kept a notebook of technical notes.(他秉持着一个简单的原则：永远有改进的空间。即使在休息日，他也会第一时间从每次发动机故障中学习，并坚持记录技术笔记)”可推知，桑杰旺堆既执着坚持，又追求完美。故选D项。 【27题详解】主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段中的“From a child fascinated by a picture to the “Dragon Tamer” of the world’s highest railways, Sonam Wangdrak’s journey is a proof to how a single dream, fueled by constant dedication, can mount the roof of the world.(从一个被图片吸引的孩子，到世界海拔最高铁路的“驯龙者”，桑杰旺堆的经历证明了一个梦想，在持续的付出滋养下，能够登上世界之巅)”可知，文章主要讲述了桑杰旺堆通过不懈奉献实现梦想的故事。故选D项。 【C篇】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. A 议论文。文章主要讲述了作者通过个人经历及多方观点探讨了悲伤的价值，认为其比快乐更具深度且能开启美学世界。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“As a teenager with little romantic experience, I believe I was drawn to the maturity sadness seemed to represent, which hints at a complex joy found within sadness.(作为一个几乎没有恋爱经验的青少年，我相信我是被悲伤所代表的成熟所吸引，这暗示着悲伤中隐藏着一种复杂的喜悦)”可知，作者青少年时期喜欢Paul Simon的专辑是因为将悲伤与成熟联系在了一起。故选D。 【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Essayist Hartley Coleridge praised it as a more elegant state of mind than happiness. “Melancholy (悲伤) can scarce exist in an undegraded spirit — it cannot exist in a mere animal” is how he put it, suggesting it is more dignified than happiness.(散文家Hartley Coleridge称赞悲伤是一种比快乐更优雅的精神状态。他是这样说的:“悲伤几乎不可能存在于一个未堕落的灵魂中——它不可能存在于一个单纯的动物身上”，这表明它比快乐更有尊严)”可知，Hartley Coleridge认为悲伤是人类独有的。故选C。 【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中“Just as what evolutionary scientists call “the handicap principle”, luxurious traits are useful, because they are so showily expensive, apparently inconveniencing the owner. They are a way of saying: I’m so strong. The peacock’s tail, for example, despite being a disadvantage attached, signals desirable genes. Sadness, according to this model, is a kind of obvious consumption.(正如进化科学家所说的“劣势原则”，奢侈的特征是有用的，因为它们是如此昂贵，显然给主人带来了不便。它们是一种表达方式：我很强壮。例如，孔雀的尾巴，尽管是一种劣势，却能传递出优良基因的信号。根据这个模型，悲伤是一种炫耀性消费)”可知，作者提到孔雀的尾巴是为了解释悲伤具有进化价值。故选D。 【31题详解】主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段“Happiness can be lovely, but the profound, elegant sadness unlocks aesthetic (美学) world that happiness can never reach. Happiness is often fleeting and superficial, while sadness can provide a deeper, more lasting emotional experience that opens the door to a richer aesthetic realm.(快乐可以是可爱的，但深刻、优雅的悲伤开启了快乐永远无法触及的美学世界。快乐往往是短暂的、肤浅的，而悲伤可以提供一种更深层次、更持久的情感体验，为通往更丰富的美学领域打开大门)”可知，文章主要探讨了悲伤的价值，认为其比快乐更具深度且能开启美学世界，因此A项“Why the long face?(为什么愁眉苦脸？)”作为标题最合适，该标题以疑问的形式引发读者对于悲伤的思考，与文章主旨相符。故选A。 【D篇】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. C 说明文。主要介绍了一种由蓝绿藻驱动的计算机微处理器系统，该系统能长时间运行，展示了生物能源的潜力。 【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“What he saw next really blew his mind: It sat there from February to August, and all the while it was working.(接下来他所看到的让他大吃一惊：它从二月待到八月，而且一直在工作)”可知，让Bombelli感到惊讶的是藻类计算机系统能长时间工作。故选C项。 【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Even though the algae rely on a light source to feed, the bio-system continued to produce enough power to run the microprocessor in the dark.(尽管藻类依靠光源来获取食物，但生物系统在黑暗中仍能继续产生足够的电力来运行微处理器)”可知，生物系统在黑暗中能正常工作。故选B项。 【34题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Though the experiment’s results are promising, it’s important to keep in mind that the computer processor tested uses very little energy — requiring only 0.3 microwatts to run. More research is needed to know exactly how much the tiny AA-battery-sized device could scale up.(尽管实验结果很有希望，但重要的是要记住，测试的计算机处理器消耗的能量非常少——运行仅需要0.3微瓦。需要更多的研究来确切知道这个微小的AA电池大小的设备能扩大到什么程度)”可知，接下来的研究将关注这个设备是否能发挥更大的作用。故选C项。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“A colorful colony of photosynthetic (光合的) cyanobacteria, known as blue-green algae (藻), has successfully powered a computer microprocessor for more than six months, according to a study published in the journal Energy & Environmental Science. (根据发表在《能源与环境科学》杂志上的一项研究，一种被称为蓝绿藻的光合蓝细菌的彩色菌落，已经成功地为计算机微处理器供电六个多月)”可知，本文主要介绍了一种由蓝绿藻驱动的计算机微处理器系统能长时间运行，因此最佳标题是“An Algae-Powered Device Runs Computer for Months (一个由藻类驱动的设备为计算机运行数月)”。故选C项。 【七选五】36．A 37．D 38．C 39．G 40．F 议论文。本文讲述了不同思维方式的力量，通过零浪费生活和大学录取标准的变化来阐述这一主题。 【36题详解】上文“But as my wife shared with me all the inventive ways people are getting around using plastic or reusing clothes or controlling the desire to accrue things we don’t really need, I realized that, zero-waste starts with something else.(但当我妻子和我分享人们想出的各种方法来避免使用塑料、重复使用衣服或控制购买我们并不真正需要的东西的欲望时，我意识到，零浪费始于其他的东西。)”说明“零浪费”不仅仅是一种行为上的改变，其背后有更深的含义。下文“And in many ways, the first step, which is simply being willing to do something differently, can be the hardest step of all.(在很多方面，第一步，也就是愿意以不同的方式做事，可能是最难的一步。)”强调了改变思想或思维方式的重要性，这是实现零浪费的第一步，也是最难的一步。选项A“它始于同意改变思想”符合语境，起到了承上启下的作用。故选A。 【37题详解】上文“Ostensibly, it’s about more and more colleges agreeing to drop standardized tests as a required measure of student aptitude.(表面上，这是关于越来越多的大学同意放弃将标准化考试作为学生能力的必要衡量标准。)”介绍了越来越多的大学同意放弃将标准化考试作为学生能力的必要衡量标准这一现象。空处需要解释这一变化背后的更深层次原因。选项D“但在其核心，它揭示了更根本的东西：我们如何判断个人价值”符合语境，揭示了这一变化背后的核心问题，即我们如何判断个人价值。故选D。 【38题详解】上文“While they identified one kind of student well, they did not account for a wide range of experiences, skills, and qualities that were no less important to achievement and success.(虽然他们很好地识别出了一种类型的学生，但他们并没有考虑到一系列对成就和成功同样重要的经验、技能和品质。)”指出了过去判断学生价值的方式的局限性。选项C“简而言之，他们错过了很多优秀的人，甚至都不知道”符合语境，进一步说明了这种局限性导致的后果，即很多优秀的人被忽视。故选C。 【39题详解】上文“They have resolved to do the best they can to see the whole individual.(他们决心尽自己所能看到学生的全貌。)”说明了学校在录取学生时，不再仅仅看重标准化考试的成绩，而是更注重学生的全面素质。选项G“许多以录取政策高度选择性而闻名的大学收到了比往常更多的申请者”符合语境，可能是因为学校改变了录取标准，吸引了更多不同类型的申请者。下文“Some think dropping mandatory standardized tests is a mistake.(有些人认为取消强制性标准化考试是个错误。)”中的“dropping mandatory standardized tests”与选项G中的“highly selective in their admissions policies”相呼应，进一步说明了学校录取政策的变化。故选G。 【40题详解】下文“That can be an admissions officer wanting to be more thoughtful in extending the benefits that her school offers. Or it can be a zero-waste blogger asking us all to think differently about how we contribute to greater balance in the world.(这可能是一位招生官想要更有思考地扩展她所在学校提供的福利。或者可能是一位零浪费博主要求我们所有人以不同的方式思考我们如何为世界更大的平衡做出贡献。)”中的“thinking differently”与选项F中的“think ever larger”相呼应，进一步说明了我们需要改变思维方式，以更广阔的视野来看待问题。选项F“另一方面，世界不断地要求我们更加善良、更加团结，思考得更广泛”符合语境。故选F。 【完形填空】记叙文，主要讲述了作者在遛狗的时候从中明白了放慢脚步、享受当下的道理。 41．B 42．C 43．A 44．C 45．A 46．A 47．B 48．B 49．C 50．D 51．A 52．B 53．B 54．C 55．B 41．考查介词短语辨析。句意：Wrigley突然在人行道上停了下来；有什么东西吸引了他的目光，或者更确切地说，是他的鼻子。A. instead of代替；B. or rather更确切地说；C. other than除了；D. more of更多的。根据常识、空前“his eye”以及空后“his nose”可知，狗的鼻子非常灵敏，闻到了某个东西，这里强调是狗的鼻子。故选B。 42．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：“一……二……三！”我拉了拉他的牵引绳，越来越不耐烦。A. calm平静的；B. tired疲倦的；C. impatient不耐烦的；D. nervous紧张的。根据下文“I was busy: breakfast, work, and coffee on my to-do list this morning.”和“When I almost lost patience”可知，作者很忙，没时间陪狗耗时间，所以越来越不耐烦。故选C。 43．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：你可能会认为，他少了后腿，走起路来应该会更加不稳定，这样我就更容易让他走了，但事实并非如此。A. stable稳定的；B. fixed固定的；C. fast快速的；D. excited兴奋的。根据上文“his missing back leg”和下文“but it didn’t. A tripod (三脚架) can be stronger than a chair.”可知，作者以为狗少一只腿会走路不稳，但结果这三条腿形成的三角形结构却更加稳固。故选A。 44．考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我几乎失去耐心时，他拉着我去某个地方，放慢脚步，感受周围，并留下自己的痕迹。A. chased追逐；B. drove驾驶；C. dragged拖拽；D. escaped逃跑。根据上文“I pulled his lead”可知，作者牵着狗，中间有绳子连接，所以这里指狗拖着作者去自己想去的地方。故选C。 45．考查动词词义辨析。句意：Wrigley和我都喜欢石头、树木，也喜欢关注世界上的小细节——只要我停留的时间足够长，能注意到的话。A. paused暂停；B. hurried匆忙；C. struggled挣扎；D. continued继续。根据空后“long enough”可知，这里指停留时间长一些。故选A。 46．考查动词词义辨析。句意：但我经常走太快，无法欣赏摆在我面前的东西，像逆流而上的鱼儿一样焦虑。A. appreciate感激，欣赏；B. overlook忽视；C. grasp抓住；D. dismiss解散。too...to...结构表示“太……而不能……”，根据空前“moving too fast to”和空后“what was laid out before me, anxious like a fish fighting upstream”可知，作者走得很快，内心焦虑，所以他应该是欣赏不了呈现在眼前的东西。故选A。 47．考查动词短语辨析。句意：在那次散步中，我突然意识到，他一直在教我放慢脚步，享受感官世界。A. happened to发生在……身上；B. dawned on使开始明白；C. came across偶遇；D. went through经历。根据空后“that he had been teaching me to slow down and enjoy the ________ world”可知，作者从这次散步中明白了一些道理。故选B。 48．考查形容词词义辨析。句意参考上题。A. imagined想象的；B. sensory感觉的，感官的；C. material物质的；D. inner内部的。根据上文“Wrigley and I both liked rocks, trees, and paying attention to the world’s small details”可知，石头、树木、世界上的其他小细节，这些都是靠感官体验到的，所以这里指感官世界。故选B。 50．考查名词词义辨析。句意：当我迷失在焦虑的海洋中时，他用他简单的智慧把我的生活带到了地面，活在当下。 51．考查动词词义辨析。句意：他只专注于让他高兴的事情，不像我，我被无休止的任务分心了。A. delighted使高兴；B. benefited使受益；C. relaxed使放松；D. rewarded奖励。根据空后“unlike me, who was distracted by endless tasks”和下文“He greeted friends with full-body wags, lost in scratches, and reacted instantly — no overthinking.”可知，狗和作者不一样，作者总是被无休止的任务分心，而狗从不过度思考，会全身摇摆着迎接朋友，所以狗应该是爱做让自己高兴的事情。故选A。 52．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：它汪汪叫，但很快摇了摇尾巴，表示很快就会原谅和信任，这种原谅和信任我也应该展示给家人、爱人、朋友，最重要的是，我自己。A. sudden突然的；B. quick快的；C. short短的；D. brief简短的。根据空前“but soon wagged his tail”可知，狗很快就摇起了尾巴，说明他很快就原谅了作者。故选B。 53．考查代词词义辨析。句意参考上题。A. him他；B. myself我自己；C. others其他人；D. itself它自己。根据空前“I should also show to family, loved ones, friends”可知，作者认为自己应该向家人、爱人、朋友展示原谅和信任，结合空前的“most of all”和上文作者总是被一大堆任务困扰而焦虑可知，作者最重要的是原谅自己（myself）。故选B。 54．考查动词词义辨析。句意：他一脸满足地转过头来看着我，我扣好他的项圈，拉起牵引绳。A. grabbed抓住；B. released释放；C. pulled拉；D. undid解开。根据空前“I fastened his collar”和空后“the lead”可知，狗做完想做的事，满足了，作者扣好项圈准备拉着狗走。故选C。 55．考查动词词义辨析。句意：“想走吗？”充满气味和声音的世界等待着。A. left离开；B. waited等待；C. passed通过；D. welcomed欢迎。根据上文“Wrigley loved smelling trees and grasses, or poking his face into shrubs — hoping for rabbits or cats.”可知，狗喜欢闻东西和搜寻东西，现在狗在这里满足了探索，前方还有许多等待着去探索。故选B。 【语法填空】新闻报道。主要讲的是在第十五届全运会游泳项目中，13岁的河北小将于子迪凭借出色表现成为焦点人物的故事。 56．an 57．exceptional 58．who/that 59．arrival 60．where 61．had stood 62．beating 63．Earlier 64．without 65．represents 56．考查冠词。句意：周一，在深圳大运中心，第十五届全运会的游泳项目以出人意料的青春活力圆满结束。surge是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，空格处用不定冠词，unexpectedly是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an，故填an。 57．考查形容词。句意：在众多杰出的运动员中，来自河北的13岁少年于子迪脱颖而出，摘得三枚金牌、一枚银牌和一枚铜牌。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词stars，exception的形容词是exceptional，意为“杰出的”，故填exceptional。 58．考查强调句。句意：在众多杰出的运动员中，来自河北的13岁少年于子迪脱颖而出，摘得三枚金牌、一枚银牌和一枚铜牌。由it was可知，句子是强调句，结构是“It is/was+被强调的部分+who/that+其他部分”，此处被强调的是13-year-old Yu Zidi from Hebei，是人，因此空格处是who/that。故填who/that。 59．考查名词。句意：她的表现不仅标志着一位天赋异禀的游泳健将的诞生，也预示着中国游泳事业的光明未来。由the和of可知，空格处用名词，arrive的名词是arrival，是不可数名词，意为“到来”，故填arrival。 60．考查定语从句。句意：于在女子200米个人混合泳比赛中展现了最为出色的表现，她以2分07秒41的成绩完赛。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中不缺主语或宾语，先行词the women’s 200m individual medley是抽象地点，因此用关系副词where引导定语从句，故填where。 61．考查时态。句意：这打破了该项赛事13年来一直保持的亚洲纪录。stand的动作发生在broke前，broke是过去的动作，因此空格处用过去完成时表示过去的过去完成的动作，故填had stood。 62．考查非谓语动词。句意：随后，她又在女子200米蝶泳项目中摘得银牌，击败了奥运冠军张雨霏。句中谓语是went，空格处用非谓语动词，she和beat之间是主谓关系，因此用现在分词表主动，作状语，故填beating。 63．考查比较级。句意：今年夏天早些时候，在世界游泳锦标赛上，于已经在国际赛场上证明了自己。此处表示“今年夏天早些时候”，因此空格处用比较级earlier，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Earlier。 64．考查介词。句意：尽管她与领奖台擦肩而过，未能真正登上其上，但她已确立了自己极具潜力的选手地位。根据语境可知，此处表示“未能真正登上其上”，空格处用without表示“没有”。故填without。 65．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：从她首次参加比赛到在全运会上取得的惊人成绩，于如今完全代表了中国游泳的未来。由now可知，句子时态用一般现在时，主语Yu是的单数，因此空格处用第三人称单数，故填represents。 听力原稿 1. M: Our skiing holiday is booked for next week, isn’t it? W: Yes, all sorted. Do you need to adjust anything? M: I decided it might be better if the kids stayed with their grandparents. They’ll enjoy the quality time. 2. M: I’ve got an eye test booked at your clinic next Monday. W: Yes, Mr. Brown, that’s confirmed. I’ll arrange the doctor for you. Are you ringing just to check the appointment? M: Actually, could I reschedule? I had a car accident and buses don’t run regularly where I live. 3. M: Have you seen Zootopia 2? My kids say it’s a movie worth seeing. W: No, not yet. But I’ve heard good things about its vivid new characters and the funny interactions between Judy and Nick. M: Yeah, but some reviews say it lacks new ideas. 4. W: It feels like we celebrate everything with fireworks nowadays, the Wall, Chinese New Year, and even weddings. M: Wow, really? I always thought they were just for New Year and bonfire nights. 5. W: James, how long have you been organizing school trips? M: Around 1 year now. W: Well you’ve really picked up the safety rules quickly. I noticed how carefully you double-checked we had all the right equipment today. Text 6（6-7）： W: Have you both got your tickets? Have your phones charged? M: Yes, Mom. We’ve been ready for ages. We can’t be late. W: I know. I just want to make sure you’re safe. M: You said we could go by ourselves. We’re 15. W: I did, and I’ll be waiting right outside afterwards. Text me if anything feels wrong. M: It won’t. It’s going to be amazing. We’ve waited months for this concert. W: I want you to have fun, really. I just can’t believe how grown up you are. M: We’ll be fine. We’ll send you a video of our favorite song. W: No need. Just have fun. Text 7 (8-10) W: So, what did you think of the mindfulness book? M: I thought it would be boring, but it actually helped. That’s why I’m returning it early. I read it quickly. W: Was there anything in particular that stood out? M: The breathing exercises. I used one before my presentation last week. W: Did it help you calm down? M: Yeah. The book suggests breathing in for 4 seconds, pausing for 4, and then breathing out for 6, which adds up to 14 seconds per cycle. I tried that 5 times, it really worked. W: I try that. I only do it once, and it still makes a difference. M: I might try that gratitude journal idea next. W: It’s worth a try. M: I think more students should read that book. It felt real. Text 8 (11-13) W: Which do you think is most meaningful: Hanfu, classical Chinese music, or ancient poetry? M: Hmm, that’s a difficult question. I think Hanfu is amazing. Just wearing it feels like stepping into the past. The style is so different from modern clothes. We all wore it to my sister’s wedding. W: Yeah, it’s beautiful and comfortable to wear. And it’s not just clothing, it shows the fashion from ancient dynasties. But I still think classical music connects us more. There are some very famous performers too. You don’t have to understand the language to feel something. M: True. When someone plays instruments like the guzheng, it really makes you stop to listen. But also, poetry is magical. Some of those old lines say a lot in just a few words. W: I know what you mean. So I guess Hanfu shows tradition through fashion, music through sound, and poetry through writing. I think they are all studied in schools now. M: Right, that makes sense. They are all ways of keeping culture alive. W: Yeah, they remind us where we come from and what matters. Text9 (14-16) M: I didn’t expect to see you here, Miss Smith. I thought you were busy running that team-building event this weekend. W: I was, and it went really well. We had a stress relief session using pets. M: I’ve heard of it. It’s the use of an animal to provide comfort to people with health problems, right? W: Yes. We brought in trained therapy dogs during the team-building event to help with stress relief. Employees could spend time with them in special areas. M: That sounds wonderful. But wasn’t there a risk that some people would find the dogs too noisy? W: At first, some were unsure, especially those who don’t usually spend time with pets. I guess they were maybe a little bit afraid of the dogs but didn’t actually say that. However, once they saw how calm and relaxed the dogs made everyone feel, they were more open to it. Some employees even mentioned how much more comfortable they felt during group activities. M: I never thought about how much of a positive impact pet comfort could have. W: It’s incredible. Animals help people feel more at ease and connected, which really improves teamwork and communication. M: Well, you never say never. Now that we’ve spoken, I wouldn’t rule out doing something similar. Text 10 (17-20) I used to think talent was everything. If you were naturally good at something, you’d succeed; if not, you wouldn’t. I thought I wasn’t good at languages, so I could never get better. Then I learned about the growth mindset, and it changed my mind. The theory comes from psychologist Carol Dweck. She says people with a growth mindset believe they can improve through practice, while those with a fixed mindset think talent is fixed. Some schools now encourage students to focus on effort and improvement, believing that a growth mindset eventually leads to better results. And in sports or business, the same idea applies. You can learn from failure, keep going, and your brain grows through challenges. But not everyone agrees. Some researchers say the idea is too simple. If someone lacks support or resources, effort alone might not be enough. Others argue that praising effort too much could make people ignore smart strategies. Still, I’ve seen it work. When my son stopped saying “I can’t learn languages” and started saying “I can’t do verbs yet, but I will improve,” things changed. He ended up doing much better in those important exams. After all, the mind, like a muscle, grows with use, but only if you believe it can. 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语听力部分现在开始，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意做题时请先将答案划在试卷上。该部分录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话读两遍。现在你有5秒钟. 的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Our skin holiday is booked for next week.

AI consumes large amounts of energy: a single ChatGPT response uses around 10 times the electricity of a Google search, and its more than 400 million weekly active users increase demand. DeepSeek claimed higher energy efficiency but also faced doubts, keeping AI’s energy use a persistent concern. Here is the daily energy comparison between ChatGPT and Google search. Operation Type Energy Per Search Daily Energy Use ChatGPT Response 0.0029 kWh 621.4 MWh Google Search 0.0003 kWh 10.8 MWh Given the energy consumption, AI adoption won’t slow as firms view it as essential, so a smart strategy is needed to employ AI’s benefits while meeting sustainable goals. Luckily, industry experts are developing various solutions to address this challenge. The AI-related energy risks have gained visibility, triggering public awareness and action. Yet focusing on energy alone cannot break the cycle of compounding environmental and operational pressures. “To address AI-energy risks and unlock long-term value, companies and investors must move beyond their narrow roles in the AI value chain. They should pursue strategies that create shared value by advancing business goals while benefiting society and the environment,” notes Lauren Smart in World Economic Forum. 21. How much more daily energy does ChatGPT consume than Google Search? A. 632.2 MWh. B. 621.4 MWh. C. 610.6 MWh. D. 10.8 MWh. 22. Which of the following is an effective measure to cut AI energy use? A. Adopting energy-saving chips. B. Selecting larger models. C. Establishing more data centers. D. Encouraging firm competitions. 23. According to Lauren Smart, AI companies should adopt a mission that ______. A. creates shared value B. gains public recognition C. follows existing regulations D. maximizes investor’s profits B Sonam Wangdrak’s story begins not in a driver’s cab, but on the vast grasslands of the Xizang plateau. As a herdsman’s son, his first encounter with a train was a colorful picture in a textbook at age seven — a spark that lit a lifelong dream. For a boy who only began learning Mandarin in fourth grade, the path seemed distant. Yet, this dream carried him to the Lanzhou Railway School, where he spent holidays alone in his dormitory, determined to conquer tough subjects like mechanical drawing and circuit principles. This commitment led him into the next life chapter when, in 2007, he joined the Qinghai-Xizang Railway Company, beginning a decade-long journey of honing his craft. The real challenge arrived with the Lhasa-Nyingchi Railway, Xizang’s first electrified line, snaking through mountains and over rivers. To master its demanding curves and slopes, Sonam designed a unique test: placing a whiteboard pen upright on the console. Every time it fell down, he would note the time, location, and throttle (油门) position, insisting until the ride became perfectly smooth. He operated on a simple principle: there was always room for improvement. He would rush to learn from every engine failure, even on his days off and kept a notebook of technical notes. His most famous feat, however, was improving train coupling by balancing a water-filled cup and a stack of coins until he could link the carriages without disturbing them. A video of this “steady hand” miracle later won widespread admiration online. On June 25, 2021, Sonam entered the cab of the Fuxing bullet train as its first driver on the new high-altitude line. With over 750,000 kilometers of safe driving and zero accidents to his name, he has been honored as a “National Model Worker.” From a child fascinated by a picture to the “Dragon Tamer” of the world’s highest railways, Sonam Wangdrak’s journey is a proof to how a single dream, fueled by constant dedication, can mount the roof of the world. 24. What initially inspired Sonam Wangdrak’s dream? A. A photograph of a train in his school book. B. His early mastery of the Mandarin language. C. A visit to a train driver’s cab in his childhood. D. His experience of moving from grassland to town. 25. What does “honing his craft” mean in paragraph 2? A. Repairing his tools. B. Polishing his skills. C. Breaking his limits. D. Recording his work. 26. What qualities can best describe Sonam Wangdrak? A. Ambitious and efficient. B. Curious and adventurous. C. Self-disciplined and innovative. D. Persistent and perfection-seeking. 27. What is the passage mainly about? A. A man who has a brilliant career. B. The growth of Xizang’s rail technology. C. The success of a national railway project. D. A model realizing his dream via devotion. C Recently, I was listening to Paul Simon’s 1983 album Hearts and Bones again and was struck by a question: what did it — a weary, bittersweet reflection on a broken relationship-mean to my younger self? As a teenager with little romantic experience, I believe I was drawn to the maturity sadness seemed to represent, which hints at a complex joy found within sadness. But why value sadness when happiness is so universally pursued? Nations measure well-being through happiness Indexes (指数), and philosophies prioritize increasing joy. Yet, in reality, we don’t seek constant happiness. Sometimes sadness has a cause; sometimes we want to be. Perhaps emotional variety is preferable to monotony. But there’s more to it — sadness holds a depth that happiness lacks. Sadness inspires great art in a way that grinningly eating ice cream cannot. Essayist Hartley Coleridge praised it as a more elegant state of mind than happiness. “Melancholy (悲伤) can scarce exist in an undegraded spirit — it cannot exist in a mere animal” is how he put it, suggesting it is more dignified than happiness. I suspect most people feel joy is, at root, a kind of idiot pleasure. Melancholy is somehow more grown-up, more sincere, and more authentic. Just as what evolutionary scientists call “the handicap principle”, luxurious traits are useful, because they are so showily expensive, apparently inconveniencing the owner. They are a way of saying: I’m so strong. The peacock’s tail, for example, despite being a disadvantage attached, signals desirable genes. Sadness, according to this model, is a kind of obvious consumption. It takes more muscles to frown than smile, and maybe that’s the point. Darwin observed that sadness appears the same way across all cultures, implying a deep-rooted human capacity. Happiness can be lovely, but the profound, elegant sadness unlocks aesthetic (美学) world that happiness can never reach. 28. Why did the author like Paul Simon’s 1983 album as a teenager? A. He thought sadness inspired art. B. He viewed sadness as happiness. C. He experienced broken relationships. D. He associated sadness with being mature. 29. What’s Hartley Coleridge’s view on melancholy? A. Unrelated to art. B. Rich in variety. C. Unique to humans. D. Deep-rooted in history. 30. Why does the author refer to the peacock’s tail? A. To stress frowning takes more muscles. B. To show luxurious traits are unnecessary. C. To prove sadness is apparently convenient. D. To explain sadness has evolutionary value. 31. What’s the best title of this passage? A. Why the long face? B. Which is deeper? C. What’s happiness? D. Where’s sadness? D A colorful colony of photosynthetic (光合的) cyanobacteria, known as blue-green algae (藻), has successfully powered a computer microprocessor for more than six months, according to a study published in the journal Energy & Environmental Science. The algae-computer system was placed in the window of biochemist Paolo Bombell’s home. What he saw next really blew his mind: It sat there from February to August, and all the while it was working. And even after the microprocessor has been disconnected, the cyanobacteria device continues to produce current. “Given the right conditions of light, temperature and water, I cannot predict when it will stop,” said Bombelli. Cyanobacteria harvest energy from sunlight and make it into food for themselves. For this study, the researchers put the power-providing microorganisms into a plastic and steel enclosure, about the size of an AA battery, along with an aluminum anode (铝正极). Throughout the experiment, the connected microprocessor was programmed to do a bunch of calculations, and then check its own work. It did this in a 45-minute period, followed by 15 minutes of standby, continuously for months with the cyanobacteria unit as its only power source. Even though the algae rely on a light source to feed, the bio-system continued to produce enough power to run the microprocessor in the dark. The scientists basically put down this phenomenon to leftovers. When there was light, the cyanobacteria cooked up an over-abundance of food, and when it was dark the microorganisms kept chewing on the extras. According to Chris Howe, senior author of the study, the results suggest that the little bio-based battery alternative could serve as a way to power small electronics without rare earth elements, which are in short supply and under growing demand. Plus, the system could also help bridge the electricity divide, providing another power supply for people in rural areas or low-income countries. Though the experiment’s results are promising, it’s important to keep in mind that the computer processor tested uses very little energy — requiring only 0.3 microwatts to run. More research is needed to know exactly how much the tiny AA-battery-sized device could scale up. Howe said, “Putting one on your roof isn’t going to provide the power supply for your house at this stage.” 32. Which of the following facts about the algae-computer system surprised Bombelli? A. It can function without water. B. It can convert light into power. C. It can work for a long time. D. It can stand high temperatures. 33. What can we learn about the bio-system from paragraph 4? A.

Zero-waste is obviously about changing behaviors to produce less waste. But as my wife shared with me all the inventive ways people are getting around using plastic or reusing clothes or controlling the desire to accrue (积累) things we don’t really need, I realized that, zero-waste starts with something else. 36 And in many ways, the first step, which is simply being willing to do something differently, can be the hardest step of all. This came to mind as I read a cover story in education. Ostensibly (表面上), it’s about more and more colleges agreeing to drop standardized tests as a required measure of student aptitude (天赋). 37 That is always going to be hard. But in recent decades, colleges have realized that the old ways of judging individual value, while not necessarily wrong, were narrow. While they identified one kind of student well, they did not account for a wide range of experiences, skills, and qualities that were no less important to achievement and success. 38 The tests weren’t good enough. Schools could do better. So what has happened? Schools are increasingly consenting to think differently about admissions. They have resolved to do the best they can to see the whole individual. 39 Some think dropping mandatory standardized tests is a mistake. However, once the first step is taken, the onward pull of reason and morality speed progress. At a time when there appears to be so much confusion in the world, it is possible to look out and instead see something else: the world struggling with the perpetual (长久的) task of consenting to new ideas. Politics today show how easily we can become stuck in the mentally familiar. 40 That can be an admissions officer wanting to be more thoughtful in extending the benefits that her school offers. Or it can be a zero-waste blogger asking us all to think differently about how we contribute to greater balance in the world. The only constant is the universal need for progress, and that will never leave us where it found us. A. It starts with consenting (同意) to change thought. B. Undoubtedly there have been missteps along the way. C. In short, they left a lot of amazing people out and didn’t even know it. D. But at its heart, it reveals something more fundamental: how we judge individual value. E. They offer the most challenging academic programs and ensure every student’s physical and mental health. F. The world, on the other hand, is constantly demanding that we be kinder and more connected and think ever larger. G. Many universities known to be highly selective in their admissions policies received more applicants than usual. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One morning, I took my three-legged dog Wrigley for a walk.

Instead, she typed a question that had been pressing on her heart for weeks: “Why won’t Grandma eat properly?” It was early January. After finishing her exams, Mira had returned to her hometown to spend some quiet days with her grandmother. The old woman had once been a legend — she’d worked as a tailor, made dresses for half the village and saved enough to open her own shop. Time had taken its toll. Now her eyesight had dimmed, her fingers trembled, but she was still that legendary woman who lived on her own terms. Whenever someone ladled (勺子舀) soup into her bowl, she would push it away, murmuring,” I don’t need it. Save it for yourselves.” Every meal played out the same way. It broke Mira’s heart. Actually, the family was doing well. There was plenty of food, plenty of love. So why did eating — a simple, everyday act — seem like a burden to her? She tried reasoning with her, but the more she talked, the more Grandma resisted. Until one day, in a moment of frustration, she blurted out, “Grandma, you make me so sad when you act like this.” The old woman froze, then sighed. “I’m over seventy. I won’t be around much longer. It doesn’t matter how I eat.” The words cut deep. Mira thought about taking her to a psychologist but she’d refuse. So she turned to an old companion, the AI. The response came quickly. Grandma was refusing food because she felt like she no longer had a place in the family. The AI offered suggestions: Help her feel secure and needed. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: With AI’s assistance, Mira began her plan. Para 2: As meals became less of a battle, Mira decided to relight the sparkle in grandmother’s eyes. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
