For years, Leo worked as a night guard in a quiet museum. His job was routine, and he often felt invisible, like part of the furniture. His world was one of silence and shadows.
One rainy Tuesday, as Leo was making his final round, he noticed a small, leather-bound sketchbook (素描本) left on a bench. He picked it up, intending to hand it to the lost-and-found. However, a quick glance revealed pages with astonishingly beautiful drawings of the museum’s sculptures, each one filled with light and life that the cold stone originals seemed to lack.
Instead of delivering the book to the office, Leo felt a strange urge to keep it for one night. At home, under his lamp, he paged through every page. The artist had not only drawn the art but had also composed little stories next to each piece — a warrior’s homesickness, a goddess’s secret smile. Leo was deeply moved. For the first time, he saw the museum through someone else’s eyes, and it was magical.
The next day, Leo placed the sketchbook back on the same bench, adding a brief note, “Your art made the statues breathe. Thank you.” He didn’t expect a reply.
A week later, the sketchbook was gone, but in its place was a new drawing. It was a portrait of a night guard, not in uniform, but dressed as a wise guardian, watching over the sleeping art with a kind expression. Beneath it was written, “To the one who sees. You are not part of the furniture. You are its keeper.”
This simple exchange transformed Leo’s perspective entirely. He started to appreciate small, beautiful details in his nightly rounds — the way moonlight fell on a marble floor, the peaceful expression of a sleeping cherub (小天使). He even began leaving his own short, appreciative notes for the mysterious artist, commenting on new drawings that occasionally appeared.
This silent conversation became a source of joy for both. Leo no longer felt invisible. He felt seen, connected to the art and to another soul who saw the world with wonder. He realized that everyone has the power to touch others, sometimes without even saying a word. The museum was no longer just a workplace; it had become a world of shared understanding, waiting in the quiet dark.
24. What was Leo’s initial feeling about his job?
A. Proud and valued. B. Curious and cheerful. C. Busy and interactive. D. Lonely and unimportant.
25. Why did Leo keep the sketchbook for one night?
A. He thought it was left there for him.
B. He planned to return it the next day.
C. He was deeply attracted by its contents.
D. He forgot to hand it to the lost-and-found.
26. What can we infer about the mysterious artist from the new drawing and the words?
A. He taught Leo artistic skills. B. He was a former night guard.
C. He understood Leo’s feelings. D. He offered Leo an official position.
27. What is the main message of the story?
A. Night guards lead interesting lives.
B. Art has the power to connect people.
C. Lost items should be returned rapidly.
D. Museums are places for silent conversations.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. C 27. B

C
Besides its known benefits for mental health and connecting with nature, the hobby of birdwatching may have another surprising advantage: It can cause helpful physical changes in the human brain. A recent brain science study from McGill University shows that the deep mental effort needed for this activity has a real effect on our brain’s structure.
The research compared brain scans and thinking tests between expert birdwatchers, who could name hundreds of birds by sight and sound, and beginners. When doing bird identification tasks, the experts were not only faster and more correct, but their brains also showed much higher activity in specific areas. These areas are linked to advanced visual processing (seeing fine details), strong and focused attention (ignoring distractions), and working memory (holding and comparing information). Importantly, brain structure scans showed that these key areas were thicker and had better connections in the expert group.
These findings suggest that the specialized, demanding practice of birding — which needs quickly putting together small visual clues, sounds, and learned knowledge — does not just use the brain but actively strengthen and improve its wiring, like exercise builds muscle. This is important for brain health as we age. The study found that the normal loss of brain tissue and function with age was much less obvious in the expert birdwatchers. Researchers think that such long-term, complex mental activity helps build a “cognitive reserve”, making the brain stronger and better at dealing with damage over time.
“Our work shows that doing a challenging, skill-based hobby for life is linked to a protective effect for the brain,” explained lead scientist Dr Robert Zatorre. The idea likely applies to other activities needing deep focus and learning, like playing music or learning a language. So, spending time watching and identifying birds is much more than a relaxing pastime. It is an active investment in long-term brain health, building a stronger and more agile mind that can better handle the natural changes that come with getting older.
28. What did the brain scans of expert birdwatchers show compared to beginners?
A. Their brains are more active in all areas.
B. They used different senses when identifying birds.
C. Their brains were smaller in size but more efficient.
D. Certain brain areas were thicker and better connected.
29. Why does the author mention “like exercise builds muscle” in paragraph 3?
A. To explain how the brain strengthens by birdwatching.
B. To compare birdwatching with physical activities.
C. To prove that birdwatching is physically tiring.
D. To suggest that only young people can benefit.
30. What does the underlined word “agile” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Sharp. B. Focused. C. Strict. D. Solid.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. What to Expect from Birdwatching? B. Effective Methods of Healthy Brain.
C. How Birdwatching Reshapes the Brain? D. Birdwatching — A Challenging Hobby.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现:观鸟这一爱好除了对心理健康和亲近自然有益外,还能对人类大脑产生有益的物理变化,长期的观鸟活动可以增强大脑结构、延缓大脑衰老。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Importantly, brain structure scans showed that these key areas were thicker and had better connections in the expert group.(重要的是,大脑结构扫描显示,专家组的这些关键区域更厚,连接也更好。)”可知,与初学者相比,观鸟专家的大脑特定区域更厚且连接性更好。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“These findings suggest that the specialized, demanding practice of birding — which needs quickly putting together small visual clues, sounds, and learned knowledge — does not just use the brain but actively strengthen and improve its wiring, like exercise builds muscle.(这些发现表明,观鸟这种专业且要求高的活动——需要快速整合微小的视觉线索、声音和所学知识——不仅会使用大脑,还会积极地加强和改善大脑的神经连接,就像锻炼能增强肌肉一样。)”可知,作者用“就像锻炼能增强肌肉一样”这个类比,是为了解释观鸟活动如何让大脑得到强化。故选A。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“It is an active investment in long-term brain health, building a stronger and more agile mind that can better handle the natural changes that come with getting older.(这是对长期大脑健康的一种积极投资,能培养出更强健、更agile大脑,从而更好地应对随着年龄增长而出现的自然变化。)”可知,观鸟能让大脑更好地应对衰老带来的变化,“agile”在此处应表示“反应灵敏的,敏锐的”,与A选项“Sharp(敏锐的)”意思相近。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The hobby of birdwatching may have another surprising advantage: It can cause helpful physical changes in the human brain. A recent brain science study from McGill University shows that the deep mental effort needed for this activity has a real effect on our brain’s structure.(观鸟这一爱好可能还有另一个令人惊讶的优势:它能给人类大脑带来有益的物理变化。麦吉尔大学最近的一项脑科学研究表明,这项活动所需的深度脑力劳动会对我们的大脑结构产生实实在在的影响。)”并结合全文内容可知,文章围绕观鸟对大脑结构的重塑与强化作用展开,核心主题是观鸟如何改变大脑。因此,C选项“How Birdwatching Reshapes the Brain(观鸟如何重塑大脑)”最能概括文章主旨。故选C。
D
As countries work harder to move away from fossil fuels and fight climate change, finding reliable, clean, and steady power is very important. In this search, geothermal (地热的) energy — using the great heat from inside the Earth — is seeing a strong comeback worldwide. Unlike solar or wind power, which can change with the weather, geothermal plants can produce electricity all the time, day and night. This provides the stable “baseload” power needed to support grids (电网) that use more and more changeable energy sources.
This modern comeback is mainly driven by new technology. Advanced drilling methods, first used by the oil and gas industry, now let engineers reach deeper, hotter rocks that were once out of reach. New systems can create artificial underground reservoirs (储藏) in hot, dry rock, greatly increasing possible locations. A leading example is the United Downs project in Cornwall, UK. This plant not only makes enough electricity for about 10,000 homes but also shows an extra benefit: It can collect lithium, a key mineral for batteries, from the hot water it uses.
“The technology and the costs are finally matching up,” explains Ryan Law, founder of Geothermal Engineering Ltd. “There is a huge demand for clean, always-available power, and geothermal energy fits that need perfectly.” Projects are growing in the United States, Germany, and Indonesia. Compared to other clean energy options, geothermal energy uses less land, has little visual effect, and can be built faster than nuclear plants.
Challenges remain. The high starting cost for drilling is still a barrier, and there is always a risk of not finding enough heat. Also, not every area has the right underground conditions. However, continuous improvement is lowering costs and raising efficiency. As the world looks for solutions for both clean energy and important minerals, geothermal energy’s double offering makes it not just an alternative, but a key part of a sustainable and secure energy future, quietly using the power below us.
32. According to the text, how does geothermal energy differ from solar and wind power?
A. It can supply power continuously. B. It requires more land to operate.
C. It’s easily affected by weather. D. It produces no pollution at all.
33. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The reasons for the rising of geothermal energy.
B. The environmental effects of geothermal energy.
C. The daily applications of geothermal energy.
D. The benefits brought by geothermal energy.
34. What can be inferred about geothermal energy from Ryan Law’s statement?
A. It is mainly suitable for countries with rich oil resources.
B. It is facing little competition from other clean energies.
C. Its development was limited by technology in the past.
D. Its cost is still too high for large-scale use.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of geothermal energy?
A. Cautious. B. Optimistic. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful.
【答案】32. A 33. A 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是在全球各国努力摆脱化石燃料、应对气候变化的背景下,地热能作为一种可靠、清洁且稳定的能源正迎来强势回归。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Unlike solar or wind power, which can change with the weather, geothermal plants can produce electricity all the time, day and night.(与会随天气变化的太阳能或风能不同,地热能发电厂能够不分昼夜地持续发电。)”可知,地热能能持续供电。故选A。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“This modern comeback is mainly driven by new technology. Advanced drilling methods, first used by the oil and gas industry, now let engineers reach deeper, hotter rocks that were once out of reach. New systems can create artificial underground reservoirs (储藏) in hot, dry rock, greatly increasing possible locations.(地热能的此次现代复兴主要由新技术推动。最初用于石油和天然气行业的先进钻探方法,如今让工程师能够触及到以往难以企及的更深、更热的岩石。新型系统能够在炎热干燥的岩石中创建人工地下储层,大大增加了可开发地点的数量。)”可知,第二段主要讲述了新技术推动地热能的复兴,如先进的钻井方法让工程师能够到达更深、更热的岩石,新系统可以在炎热干燥的岩石中创造人工地下储层等,这些都是地热能兴起的原因,因此第二段主要讲的是地热能兴起的原因。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““The technology and the costs are finally matching up,” explains Ryan Law, founder of Geothermal Engineering Ltd.(“技术与成本终于实现了同步。”地热工程有限公司的创始人瑞安·劳解释道。)”可知,Ryan Law的意思是技术和成本终于匹配了,言外之意是过去技术和成本不匹配,即过去地热能的发展受到技术的限制。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, continuous improvement is lowering costs and raising efficiency. As the world looks for solutions for both clean energy and important minerals, geothermal energy’s double offering makes it not just an alternative, but a key part of a sustainable and secure energy future, quietly using the power below us.(不过,持续的技术改进正在降低成本、提高效率。随着世界寻求清洁能源和重要矿物的解决方案,地热能凭借其双重优势,不仅成为一种替代能源,更是构建可持续且安全能源未来的关键部分,悄然利用着我们脚下的能量。)”可知,作者对于地热能的未来的态度是乐观的。故选B。

My nephew, too, is crazy about his smart, chatty doll and can’t tear himself away from it. ____36____ However, these benefits come with significant risks that demand our shared attention. It’s time to pause and think about how kids can safely manage growth in this digital era.
Direct risks aren’t theoretical — they come from the misuse or malfunction of AI. Kids sometimes use AI to copy homework, or create “deepfake” videos to bully classmates. AI tutors occasionally supply inaccurate content. ____37____ Let’s be real, most little ones lack the ability to use AI responsibly or distinguish fact from falsehood, which puts them at a higher risk.
Beyond these obvious risks, more hidden ones arise even when AI works as designed. My niece told me that after she watched a recommended video, her tablet would show her similar content over and over again. The technology can quickly learn users’ preferences and create “echo chambers (信息茧房)”. ____38____ They trap people in a narrow cycle of content. For kids who are still developing thinking skills, this kind of controlled information flow may limit their perspectives and affect cognitive growth.
____39____ My nephew, for instance, prefers talking to his AI companion over his classmates. Unlike humans, the AI toy rarely argues or criticizes. What’s worrying is that if kids overly rely on this one-sided way of communication, they might lose the ability to handle disagreements or reach compromises when they grow up.
To address these issues, we need both immediate actions and long-term strategies. Governments should set age limits on certain AI apps, while parents should evaluate AI tools for their kids carefully. ____40____ As a place where much of childhood plays out, they should take advantage of the educational setting to teach things that AI can’t: how to debate, how to cooperate, and perhaps even how to appreciate different viewpoints.
A. Beyond these efforts, schools play a key role.
B. These are what people called “information bubbles”.
C. AI has undoubtedly made learning more engaging for students.
D. One-sided relationships with AI chatbots present a similar danger.
E. Some chatbots even encourage self-harming behavior among children.
F. Honestly, AI has made kids’ learning and play more dynamic and fun.
G. Consequently, strict parental control over screen time is crucially important.

【36题详解】
由上文“Last month, I watched my 8-year-old niece learn math from an AI tutor (助教) one minute and laugh at AI-generated cartoons the next. My nephew, too, is crazy about his smart, chatty doll and can’t tear himself away from it.(上个月,我看到我8岁的侄女前一分钟还在跟着AI助教学数学,下一分钟就对着AI生成的卡通片大笑。我的侄子也对他那只会聊天的智能娃娃着迷,一刻也离不开它。)”以及下文“However, these benefits come with significant risks that demand our shared attention.(然而,这些好处也伴随着需要我们共同关注的重大风险。)”可知,空处应总结人工智能给儿童带来的积极影响,引出下文的转折。F选项“Honestly, AI has made kids’ learning and play more dynamic and fun.(老实说,人工智能让孩子们的学习和玩耍变得更有活力、更有趣。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“learning and play”与上文的“learn math”、“AI-generated cartoons”及“smart, chatty doll”相呼应,且“more dynamic and fun”对应下文的“benefits”。故选F。
【37题详解】
由上文“Kids sometimes use AI to copy homework, or create “deepfake” videos to bully classmates. AI tutors occasionally supply inaccurate content.(孩子们有时会用AI抄作业,或制作“深度伪造”视频来欺负同学。AI助教偶尔会提供不准确的内容。)”以及下文“Let’s be real, most little ones lack the ability to use AI responsibly or distinguish fact from falsehood, which puts them at a higher risk.(说实话,大多数小孩子缺乏负责任地使用AI或区分事实与谎言的能力,这使他们面临更高的风险。)”可知,空处应继续列举人工智能带来的直接风险。E选项“Some chatbots even encourage self-harming behavior among children.(一些聊天机器人甚至会鼓励儿童自残行为。)”能承接上文,符合题意,该选项中“self-harming behavior”与上文的“copy homework”、“bully classmates”及“inaccurate content”构成并列关系,与下文“puts them at a higher risk”相呼应。故选E。

【39题详解】
由下文“My nephew, for instance, prefers talking to his AI companion over his classmates. Unlike humans, the AI toy rarely argues or criticizes.

【40题详解】
由上文“Governments should set age limits on certain AI apps, while parents should evaluate AI tools for their kids carefully.(政府应该对某些AI应用设置年龄限制,而父母应该为孩子仔细评估AI工具。)”以及下文“As a place where much of childhood plays out, they should take advantage of the educational setting to teach things that AI can’t: how to debate, how to cooperate, and perhaps even how to appreciate different viewpoints.(作为童年大部分时光的发生地,它们应该利用教育环境来教授AI无法教授的东西:如何辩论、如何合作,甚至如何欣赏不同的观点。)”可知,空处应引出学校在解决问题中的作用。A选项“Beyond these efforts, schools play a key role.(除了这些努力之外,学校也扮演着关键角色。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“these efforts”指的是上文“Governments should set age limits on certain AI apps, while parents should evaluate AI tools for their kids carefully”,“schools play a key role”与下文“educational setting to teach things”相呼应。故选A。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Not long ago, travelling in China meant racing against the clock. Overnight trains, sunrise hikes, and five scenic spots before lunch were worn like medals of honor. The faster and more exhausting the itinerary (行程), the better the story sounded afterward. In the past few years, that logic ____56____ (give) way to a new belief quietly among young people ____57____ vacations should feel less like boot camp.
According to a 2025 survey released by China Youth Daily, 55.3 percent of young respondents now prefer “immersive (沉浸式的) slow travel”, while more than half favor flexible, independent trips over ____58____ (tight) organized tours.
The shift is visible in both behavior and business. Once-popular “special-forces-style tourism”, ____59____ travellers rush through cities to maximise check-ins, has evolved into what social media jokingly calls “low-consumption travel”. The idea is simple: minimal physical effort, maximum emotional return. At scenic sites across Guangdong, Zhejiang and Hubei provinces, operators have redesigned attractions ____60____ (match) the new pace. On Foshan’s Xiqiao Mountain, for instance, visitors can try an ____61____ (adapt) bungee jump that lowers participants gently instead of dropping them ____62____ full speed.
Travel, increasingly, is no longer about how far you go — but how deeply you arrive. “When you rush, every city ends up ____63____ (look) like the same photo. When you stay, you begin to notice the small things — the way shop owners talk, the rhythm of the streets,” said Pan Yuchen, ____64____ university student visiting Chengdu, a city often seen as a symbol of slow travel for its famously unhurried pace, where ____65____ (local) eat hotpot slowly at all hours, and spend their afternoons in teahouses.
【答案】56. has given
57. that 58. tightly
59. where 60. to match
61. adapted
62. at 63. looking
64. a 65. locals
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了近年来年轻人的旅行观念发生的转变:从追求“特种兵式旅游”的快节奏打卡,转向更注重体验与感受的沉浸式慢旅行。
【56题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:在过去几年里,这种逻辑在年轻人中悄然让位于一种新的信念——假期不该像新兵训练营一样。根据时间状语“In the past few years”可知,此处需用现在完成时;主语“that logic”为单数,与“give way to”之间为主动关系,且主语为单数名词,助动词用has。故填has given。
【57题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意:在过去几年里,这种逻辑在年轻人中悄然让位于一种新的信念——假期不该像新兵训练营一样。此空引导同位语从句,解释说明名词belief,从句成分、语义完整,需用连接词that引导。故填that。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意:据《中国青年报》2025年发布的一项调查显示,55.3%的青年受访者如今偏爱“沉浸式慢旅行”,超过半数的人更喜欢灵活自由的自助出行,而非行程紧凑的跟团游。此处修饰形容词“organized”,需用副词形式,意为“安排紧凑的旅行”。故填tightly。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:曾经流行的“特种兵式旅游”,游客们为了打卡最大化而匆匆穿梭于各个城市,已经演变成社交媒体戏称为“低消耗旅游”的形式。此空引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为special-forces-style tourism,关系词指代先行词在从句中作地点状语,需用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在广东、浙江、湖北等省份的各大景区,经营者已对景点进行重新设计,以适配这种新的旅行节奏。此句已有谓语动词have redesigned,空处需用非谓语形式,此处需用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to match。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:例如,在佛山的西樵山,游客可以尝试一种改良版的蹦极,它会缓慢地将参与者放下,而不是让他们全速坠落。此处修饰名词“bungee jump”,动词“adapt”与“bungee jump”为逻辑上的动宾关系,用过去分词adapted表被动,作前置定语。故填adapted。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意:例如,在佛山的西樵山,游客可以尝试一种改良版的蹦极,它会缓慢地将参与者放下,而不是让他们全速坠落。“at full speed”为固定搭配,意为“全速地”。故填at。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:正在成都游玩的一名大学生潘雨辰表示:“当你行色匆匆时,每个城市最后拍出来的照片都大同小异。静下心停留,你才会留意到那些细微之处——店主说话的腔调、街巷里的生活节奏。”成都素来以闲适舒缓的节奏著称,被视为慢旅行的代表城市。当地人不分时段慢悠悠地吃着火锅,还会在茶馆里消磨整个下午。“end up doing sth.”为固定搭配,意为“最终做某事”,填动名词作宾语。故填looking。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:正在成都游玩的一名大学生潘雨辰表示:“当你行色匆匆时,每个城市最后拍出来的照片都大同小异。静下心停留,你才会留意到那些细微之处——店主说话的腔调、街巷里的生活节奏。”成都素来以闲适舒缓的节奏著称,被视为慢旅行的代表城市。当地人不分时段慢悠悠地吃着火锅,还会在茶馆里消磨整个下午。此处泛指“一名大学生”,且“university”以辅音音素开头,需用不定冠词a。故填a。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意:正在成都游玩的一名大学生潘雨辰表示:“当你行色匆匆时,每个城市最后拍出来的照片都大同小异。静下心停留,你才会留意到那些细微之处——店主说话的腔调、街巷里的生活节奏。”成都素来以闲适舒缓的节奏著称,被视为慢旅行的代表城市。当地人不分时段慢悠悠地吃着火锅,还会在茶馆里消磨整个下午。此处表示“当地人”,作从句主语,为可数名词,结合谓语动词eat可知需用复数形式。故填locals。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jack had just moved to a new town and started at a new school. When his friendly classmate, Noah Nelson, invited him to a birthday party at Centennial Park, Jack saw it as a perfect chance to make friends, though he felt a little nervous.
On the sunny Sunday afternoon, Jack and his mom arrived at the vast park. Picnic tables and groups of people were scattered (分散的) everywhere. “How will we ever find it?” Jack wondered, his anxiety growing. Just then, his mom pointed, “Look!” A large, colorful sign came into view: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NOAH!” Relief washed over Jack. They approached a woman near the sign. “I’m Jack, from Noah’s class,” he introduced himself. “Wonderful! I’m Noah’s aunt Laura,” she replied warmly. “The kids are playing soccer over there. Go and join them!”
Though none of the faces looked familiar, Jack loved soccer and was quickly welcomed into the game. He even scored a goal, and the cheers made him feel like he belonged. During a break, he asked a boy named Will, “Where’s Noah?” “He’s running late, visiting his grandma,” Will explained. Jack felt a flash of disappointment but continued to enjoy himself, making easy conversations and sharing laughs with his new teammates.
Soon the call came for pizza and cake. Jack happily joined the crowd at the festive table, his initial shyness completely gone. As the cake with burning candles was brought out, everyone gathered around, singing “Happy Birthday”. Jack moved to the front, eager to finally wish Noah a happy birthday and thank him for the invitation. The song ended, the birthday boy turned with a big smile to blow out the candles — and Jack’s heart sank. The boy wearing the paper crown (皇冠) was a complete stranger. This was not his Noah.
A wave of heat rushed to his face. He had eaten their food, played their games, and celebrated wholeheartedly at a total stranger’s party. With a quick “excuse me”, he turned and hurriedly made his way back through the crowd, his eyes searching desperately for his mom.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

“Mom, I went to the wrong party,” Jack said, his voice barely a whisper.

Just as Jack was about to give up, a familiar voice called his name.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“Mom, I went to the wrong party,” Jack said, his voice barely a whisper. He explained the mix-up, his cheeks burning. His mom listened kindly. “Do you want to go home?” she asked. Jack shook his head. “I need to find Noah’s party.” They began walking through the crowded park, checking every group. With each unfamiliar face, Jack’s hope faded. The park seemed endless, and his earlier confidence disappeared. After what felt like an hour, he still saw no sign of Noah. A heavy feeling settled in his chest.
Just as Jack was about to give up, a familiar voice called his name. “Jack! Over here!” It was Noah, waving from a table with blue balloons! Relief washed over Jack. “Why are you so late?” Noah asked. Jack hurried over and after a little hesitation, he told his story. To his surprise, Noah and the others found it so funny. “That’s the best birthday story ever!” Noah laughed. Jack was instantly included in the games. His embarrassing mistake had turned into a perfect icebreaker, making him feel welcomed and even a little bit famous among his new friends.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了刚转学的Jack为了交朋友,去参加同学Noah的生日派对,却在公园的众多派对中误闯了同名男孩的派对,闹了乌龙的故事。最终,这个尴尬的误会反而成了破冰契机,让Jack顺利融入了新集体。
【详解】 1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“‘妈妈,我去错派对了。’Jack 说道,声音小得几乎像耳语一样。”可知,第一段可描写Jack向妈妈坦白误会后,两人在偌大的公园中寻找Noah真正的派对的过程,可体现Jack从尴尬、失落,到逐渐失去信心的情绪变化。
②由第二段首句内容“就在 Jack 准备放弃的时候,一个熟悉的声音喊起了他的名字。”可知,第二段可描写Jack终于找到Noah的派对,他尴尬地说出误会,却意外收获了大家的善意与笑声,这个乌龙成了最好的破冰方式,让他顺利融入新集体。
2. 续写线索: 坦白误会——开始寻找——信心消退——听见呼唤——找到派对——分享乌龙——收获善意——融入集体
3. 词汇激活

For years, Leo worked as a night guard in a quiet museum. His job was routine, and he often felt invisible, like part of the furniture. His world was one of silence and shadows.
One rainy Tuesday, as Leo was making his final round, he noticed a small, leather-bound sketchbook (素描本) left on a bench. He picked it up, intending to hand it to the lost-and-found. However, a quick glance revealed pages with astonishingly beautiful drawings of the museum’s sculptures, each one filled with light and life that the cold stone originals seemed to lack.
Instead of delivering the book to the office, Leo felt a strange urge to keep it for one night. At home, under his lamp, he paged through every page. The artist had not only drawn the art but had also composed little stories next to each piece — a warrior’s homesickness, a goddess’s secret smile. Leo was deeply moved. For the first time, he saw the museum through someone else’s eyes, and it was magical.
The next day, Leo placed the sketchbook back on the same bench, adding a brief note, “Your art made the statues breathe. Thank you.” He didn’t expect a reply.
A week later, the sketchbook was gone, but in its place was a new drawing. It was a portrait of a night guard, not in uniform, but dressed as a wise guardian, watching over the sleeping art with a kind expression. Beneath it was written, “To the one who sees. You are not part of the furniture. You are its keeper.”
This simple exchange transformed Leo’s perspective entirely. He started to appreciate small, beautiful details in his nightly rounds — the way moonlight fell on a marble floor, the peaceful expression of a sleeping cherub (小天使). He even began leaving his own short, appreciative notes for the mysterious artist, commenting on new drawings that occasionally appeared.
This silent conversation became a source of joy for both. Leo no longer felt invisible. He felt seen, connected to the art and to another soul who saw the world with wonder. He realized that everyone has the power to touch others, sometimes without even saying a word. The museum was no longer just a workplace; it had become a world of shared understanding, waiting in the quiet dark.
24. What was Leo’s initial feeling about his job?
A. Proud and valued. B. Curious and cheerful. C. Busy and interactive. D. Lonely and unimportant.
25. Why did Leo keep the sketchbook for one night?
A. He thought it was left there for him.
B. He planned to return it the next day.
C. He was deeply attracted by its contents.
D. He forgot to hand it to the lost-and-found.
26. What can we infer about the mysterious artist from the new drawing and the words?
A. He taught Leo artistic skills. B. He was a former night guard.
C. He understood Leo’s feelings. D. He offered Leo an official position.
27. What is the main message of the story?
A. Night guards lead interesting lives.
B. Art has the power to connect people.
C. Lost items should be returned rapidly.
D. Museums are places for silent conversations.
C
Besides its known benefits for mental health and connecting with nature, the hobby of birdwatching may have another surprising advantage: It can cause helpful physical changes in the human brain. A recent brain science study from McGill University shows that the deep mental effort needed for this activity has a real effect on our brain’s structure.
The research compared brain scans and thinking tests between expert birdwatchers, who could name hundreds of birds by sight and sound, and beginners. When doing bird identification tasks, the experts were not only faster and more correct, but their brains also showed much higher activity in specific areas. These areas are linked to advanced visual processing (seeing fine details), strong and focused attention (ignoring distractions), and working memory (holding and comparing information). Importantly, brain structure scans showed that these key areas were thicker and had better connections in the expert group.
These findings suggest that the specialized, demanding practice of birding — which needs quickly putting together small visual clues, sounds, and learned knowledge — does not just use the brain but actively strengthen and improve its wiring, like exercise builds muscle. This is important for brain health as we age. The study found that the normal loss of brain tissue and function with age was much less obvious in the expert birdwatchers. Researchers think that such long-term, complex mental activity helps build a “cognitive reserve”, making the brain stronger and better at dealing with damage over time.
“Our work shows that doing a challenging, skill-based hobby for life is linked to a protective effect for the brain,” explained lead scientist Dr Robert Zatorre. The idea likely applies to other activities needing deep focus and learning, like playing music or learning a language. So, spending time watching and identifying birds is much more than a relaxing pastime. It is an active investment in long-term brain health, building a stronger and more agile mind that can better handle the natural changes that come with getting older.
28. What did the brain scans of expert birdwatchers show compared to beginners?
A. Their brains are more active in all areas.
B. They used different senses when identifying birds.
C. Their brains were smaller in size but more efficient.
D. Certain brain areas were thicker and better connected.
29. Why does the author mention “like exercise builds muscle” in paragraph 3?
A. To explain how the brain strengthens by birdwatching.
B. To compare birdwatching with physical activities.
C. To prove that birdwatching is physically tiring.
D. To suggest that only young people can benefit.
30. What does the underlined word “agile” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Sharp. B. Focused. C. Strict. D. Solid.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. What to Expect from Birdwatching? B. Effective Methods of Healthy Brain.
C. How Birdwatching Reshapes the Brain? D. Birdwatching — A Challenging Hobby.

As countries work harder to move away from fossil fuels and fight climate change, finding reliable, clean, and steady power is very important. In this search, geothermal (地热的) energy — using the great heat from inside the Earth — is seeing a strong comeback worldwide. Unlike solar or wind power, which can change with the weather, geothermal plants can produce electricity all the time, day and night. This provides the stable “baseload” power needed to support grids (电网) that use more and more changeable energy sources.
This modern comeback is mainly driven by new technology. Advanced drilling methods, first used by the oil and gas industry, now let engineers reach deeper, hotter rocks that were once out of reach. New systems can create artificial underground reservoirs (储藏) in hot, dry rock, greatly increasing possible locations. A leading example is the United Downs project in Cornwall, UK. This plant not only makes enough electricity for about 10,000 homes but also shows an extra benefit: It can collect lithium, a key mineral for batteries, from the hot water it uses.
“The technology and the costs are finally matching up,” explains Ryan Law, founder of Geothermal Engineering Ltd. “There is a huge demand for clean, always-available power, and geothermal energy fits that need perfectly.” Projects are growing in the United States, Germany, and Indonesia. Compared to other clean energy options, geothermal energy uses less land, has little visual effect, and can be built faster than nuclear plants.
Challenges remain. The high starting cost for drilling is still a barrier, and there is always a risk of not finding enough heat. Also, not every area has the right underground conditions. However, continuous improvement is lowering costs and raising efficiency. As the world looks for solutions for both clean energy and important minerals, geothermal energy’s double offering makes it not just an alternative, but a key part of a sustainable and secure energy future, quietly using the power below us.
32. According to the text, how does geothermal energy differ from solar and wind power?
A. It can supply power continuously. B. It requires more land to operate.
C. It’s easily affected by weather. D. It produces no pollution at all.
33. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The reasons for the rising of geothermal energy.
B. The environmental effects of geothermal energy.
C. The daily applications of geothermal energy.
D. The benefits brought by geothermal energy.
34. What can be inferred about geothermal energy from Ryan Law’s statement?
A. It is mainly suitable for countries with rich oil resources.
B. It is facing little competition from other clean energies.
C. Its development was limited by technology in the past.
D. Its cost is still too high for large-scale use.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of geothermal energy?
A. Cautious. B. Optimistic. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful.

Have you noticed how deeply AI is integrating into kids’ lives? Last month, I watched my 8-year-old niece learn math from an AI tutor (助教) one minute and laugh at AI-generated cartoons the next. My nephew, too, is crazy about his smart, chatty doll and can’t tear himself away from it. ____36____ However, these benefits come with significant risks that demand our shared attention. It’s time to pause and think about how kids can safely manage growth in this digital era.
Direct risks aren’t theoretical — they come from the misuse or malfunction of AI. Kids sometimes use AI to copy homework, or create “deepfake” videos to bully classmates. AI tutors occasionally supply inaccurate content. ____37____ Let’s be real, most little ones lack the ability to use AI responsibly or distinguish fact from falsehood, which puts them at a higher risk.
Beyond these obvious risks, more hidden ones arise even when AI works as designed. My niece told me that after she watched a recommended video, her tablet would show her similar content over and over again. The technology can quickly learn users’ preferences and create “echo chambers (信息茧房)”. ____38____ They trap people in a narrow cycle of content. For kids who are still developing thinking skills, this kind of controlled information flow may limit their perspectives and affect cognitive growth.
____39____ My nephew, for instance, prefers talking to his AI companion over his classmates. Unlike humans, the AI toy rarely argues or criticizes. What’s worrying is that if kids overly rely on this one-sided way of communication, they might lose the ability to handle disagreements or reach compromises when they grow up.
To address these issues, we need both immediate actions and long-term strategies. Governments should set age limits on certain AI apps, while parents should evaluate AI tools for their kids carefully. ____40____ As a place where much of childhood plays out, they should take advantage of the educational setting to teach things that AI can’t: how to debate, how to cooperate, and perhaps even how to appreciate different viewpoints.
A. Beyond these efforts, schools play a key role.
B. These are what people called “information bubbles”.
C. AI has undoubtedly made learning more engaging for students.
D. One-sided relationships with AI chatbots present a similar danger.
E. Some chatbots even encourage self-harming behavior among children.
F. Honestly, AI has made kids’ learning and play more dynamic and fun.
G. Consequently, strict parental control over screen time is crucially important.

After his wife Margaret passed away, Will Hartley stopped visiting their favorite café by the sea. The corner table by the window held too many ____41____. He walked alone on the ____42____, speaking only to the waves.
One morning, something ____43____ his eye. On that old table, inside the café window, stood a single daffodil in a thin glass vase. It faced the sea, bright against the grey sky like a tiny, steady light. Will ____44____ who put it there.
The next day, it was there again. And the next. Each dawn, the yellow flower waited. Slowly, it ____45____ him closer, pulling him back to the path he used to walk with Margaret.
One foggy morning, he saw a(n) ____46____ moving inside the dark café. It was his son, Stuart, carefully placing a fresh daffodil in the vase. Will’s heart ached, but ____47____. He remembered how Margaret had loved daffodils.
He finally ____48____ the café door open. The bell rang softly, a ____49____ sound he hadn’t heard in months. Stuart looked up, surprised. “I thought... you might need a ____50____ to walk towards,” Stuart said quietly, his voice thick with emotion.
Will’s eyes filled with tears. He knew he wasn’t ____51____. He sat at their table, the daffodil between them like a silent friend. They talked, not of loss, but of ____52____ things — boats in the harbor, the garden that needed tending, their plans for spring.
Now, Will still ____53____ Margaret, but he has found his way back — not to the past, but to a life that ____54____. He meets Stuart at the café every week. Together, they watch the sea, and the daffodil glows (发光) under the sunset like a flame that would never ____55____.

Not long ago, travelling in China meant racing against the clock. Overnight trains, sunrise hikes, and five scenic spots before lunch were worn like medals of honor. The faster and more exhausting the itinerary (行程), the better the story sounded afterward. In the past few years, that logic ____56____ (give) way to a new belief quietly among young people ____57____ vacations should feel less like boot camp.
According to a 2025 survey released by China Youth Daily, 55.3 percent of young respondents now prefer “immersive (沉浸式的) slow travel”, while more than half favor flexible, independent trips over ____58____ (tight) organized tours.
The shift is visible in both behavior and business. Once-popular “special-forces-style tourism”, ____59____ travellers rush through cities to maximise check-ins, has evolved into what social media jokingly calls “low-consumption travel”. The idea is simple: minimal physical effort, maximum emotional return. At scenic sites across Guangdong, Zhejiang and Hubei provinces, operators have redesigned attractions ____60____ (match) the new pace. On Foshan’s Xiqiao Mountain, for instance, visitors can try an ____61____ (adapt) bungee jump that lowers participants gently instead of dropping them ____62____ full speed.
Travel, increasingly, is no longer about how far you go — but how deeply you arrive. “When you rush, every city ends up ____63____ (look) like the same photo. When you stay, you begin to notice the small things — the way shop owners talk, the rhythm of the streets,” said Pan Yuchen, ____64____ university student visiting Chengdu, a city often seen as a symbol of slow travel for its famously unhurried pace, where ____65____ (local) eat hotpot slowly at all hours, and spend their afternoons in teahouses.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jack had just moved to a new town and started at a new school. When his friendly classmate, Noah Nelson, invited him to a birthday party at Centennial Park, Jack saw it as a perfect chance to make friends, though he felt a little nervous.
On the sunny Sunday afternoon, Jack and his mom arrived at the vast park. Picnic tables and groups of people were scattered (分散的) everywhere. “How will we ever find it?” Jack wondered, his anxiety growing. Just then, his mom pointed, “Look!” A large, colorful sign came into view: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NOAH!” Relief washed over Jack. They approached a woman near the sign. “I’m Jack, from Noah’s class,” he introduced himself. “Wonderful! I’m Noah’s aunt Laura,” she replied warmly. “The kids are playing soccer over there. Go and join them!”
Though none of the faces looked familiar, Jack loved soccer and was quickly welcomed into the game. He even scored a goal, and the cheers made him feel like he belonged. During a break, he asked a boy named Will, “Where’s Noah?” “He’s running late, visiting his grandma,” Will explained. Jack felt a flash of disappointment but continued to enjoy himself, making easy conversations and sharing laughs with his new teammates.
Soon the call came for pizza and cake. Jack happily joined the crowd at the festive table, his initial shyness completely gone. As the cake with burning candles was brought out, everyone gathered around, singing “Happy Birthday”. Jack moved to the front, eager to finally wish Noah a happy birthday and thank him for the invitation. The song ended, the birthday boy turned with a big smile to blow out the candles — and Jack’s heart sank. The boy wearing the paper crown (皇冠) was a complete stranger. This was not his Noah.
A wave of heat rushed to his face. He had eaten their food, played their games, and celebrated wholeheartedly at a total stranger’s party. With a quick “excuse me”, he turned and hurriedly made his way back through the crowd, his eyes searching desperately for his mom.
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。
“Mom, I went to the wrong party,” Jack said, his voice barely a whisper.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just as Jack was about to give up, a familiar voice called his name.
