All these things show us that they're happy. This is everything we hoped for.” The elephant path is designed to put animal benefit first with an unmatched visitor experience.There are six large habitats with playgrounds.

In provinces like Jilin,Yunnan and Hubei, farmers are turning to AI to save their crops from flooding and disease. China is showing the world a different roadmap of AI's path forward. Free AI services in China fuel mass adoption. DeepSeek's integration into WeChat caused a traffic surge, absorbed by Tencent's Yuanbao, whose DAU (Daily Active Users)jumped 20 times in two months. AI now rapidly integrates into daily life, reaching vast rural populations at scale. By making AI tools free and accessible through platforms like WeChat, China has opened the floodgates to grassroots adoption. Chinese companies have prioritized scale.And that scale is surprising: Nearly 300 million farmers, representing 20% of the national population, are potential AI users. In one Hubei village, weeks of heavy rain threatened to destroy rice fields.Consequently, farmers turned to Yuanbao. The chatbot recommended building embankments and switching to high-ridge planting - the advice arrives instantly,tailored to specific problems and images uploaded by farmers with little formal education. AI is inserted into everyday life in China. For Chinese farmers, the benefits are real and immediate. For many, AI is no longer a futuristic idea but a daily tool. While China's rural AI surge is impressive, it faces challenges of its own. AI researchers found that most farmers didn't know how to pose useful questions to AI chatbots unless prompted by local officials.Educational gaps remain a barrier: Even when farmers receive answers, they might not understand the technical terms involved. Without a closed loop of comprehension and action, the benefits of AI can't be fully realized. Researchers also stress that making AI useful for the farmers as well as elders will require more than a stylish UX and bigger models. It urgently demands simplified responses,voice interfaces and solutions tailored to real-world conditions. 28. What resulted from DeepSeek's integration into WeChat? A.Free AI services in China became available. B. Tencent's Yuanbao saw a rapid increase in users. C.Farmers in Hubei doubled their rice production. D.The number of WeChat users dropped significantly. 29. What do the underlined words "opened the floodgates to" mean in paragraph 3? A. Blocked the way of. B. Tested the limits of. C. Increased the cost of. D.Allowed widespread entry of. 30. What will the researchers most probably do next? A.Develop larger AI models. B. Expand AI access to more cities. C.Provide simplified practical instructions. D.Teach farmers to understand technical terms. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A.AI companies profit greatly from rural users. B.AI has solved all farming problems in China. C. Farmers prefer traditional methods to AI technology. D.China's rural AI holds promise but faces challenges. D Even though using dyes（染料）to develop lenses（镜片）for glasses to correct colorblindness is not novel, these 3D-printed glasses seem to break fresh ground.Researchers at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi have made a very special set of glasses that allows colorblind people to view the world in color. The lenses of the eyewear are printed with a semi-transparent resin（树脂）,which is mixed with dyes. The result is a set of lenses that can adjust colors according to what the user sees. There's a wide range of color vision deficiencies (CVDs). The most common type of them is red-green blindness, where people cannot distinguish between both. The 3D-printed eyeglasses help block and distribute the color as the eye sees it, allowing the brain to send better signals to make out the colors. Two different dyes were used during printing-one blocked the undesired wavelengths for red-green patients and the other occluded those unwanted for yellow-blue patients. In the test, their eyesight was effectively corrected. The research team tested their product against other commercially-available solutions. The team found that their glasses were more selective at blocking different shades. Thanks to the tailored nature of 3D printing, the glasses can be adapted and customized to anyone's face shape and degree of colorblindness. 3D printing was also chosen as a means to keep the glasses smooth and comfortable on the wearer's face.However,as 3D-printing ink can be poisonous, the glasses were left to dip in water for a week to test their durability（耐久性）.The team found afterward that there wasn't any leakage（泄露） of the dyes,proving their permanence and safety. A pair of 3D-printed glasses may not sound revolutionary, but to some people with colorblindness, they could paint a whole new world in color. They will help colorblind people manage the challenges of their daily activities, making their lives easier. 32. What is special about the 3D-printed glasses? A. They only work for red-green colorblindness. B. Dyes are first used in lenses to deal with CVDs. C. They can adjust colors based on the users' vision. D. They are made from transparent resin with no dyes. 33. What does the underlined word “occluded” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Removed. B.Absorbed. C.Delivered. D.Corrected. 34. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A.The original inspiration behind 3D-printed glasses. B. The commercial potential of 3D-printing technology. C. The advantages of using 3D-printing for making glasses. D. The technical challenges in producing 3D-printed glasses. 35. What is the best title of the text? A. Novel Dyes: Revolutionizing Color Vision. B.3D Printing: Bringing Color to the Colorblind. C.3D-Printed Glasses: A Cure for Colorblindness. D.3D-Printed Glasses: A Blessing for Colorblindness. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Strong, clear, interesting communication not only strengthens relationships and helps create more harmony, but allows us, the communicators, to feel heard. Follow these 4tips for better communication: Listen more. Are you actually listening? Is your body posture（姿态）open and welcoming or closed off? 36 Being a good listener not only ensures that you have a better under standing of what is being said, but it also helps you avoid assumptions by paying attention to what is really happening rather than your own story about it. 37 Think before you speak. Take a moment to really think about what you' re tr ying to say before you say it. 38 Getting in the habit of checking in with why you are speaking can help keep your communication clear and effective. Allow silence. A lot is communicated in the silence between words-good communication allows for this silence rather than trying to cover it up with words. 39 Don't be afraid of the silence, and use your natural awareness to feel the moment and only speak when you have a clear reason to. Lead with compassion（同情）. Compassion leads to a stronger eagerness for harmony, which can help prevent anger and stop us from saying things we might not truly mean. 40 A.Are you actually trying to make a certain impression? B.Asking questions can reflect what you've heard and show interest. C.Are you fully focused or is something else drawing your attention? D. Good communicators pick up on unspoken messages and react to them. E.Are your words reflecting your true feelings and what you truly want or aim? F.Moreover,listening comforts the speaker and encourages them to listen in return. G.By putting ourselves in others' shoes, we can better understand their intended message. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Wu Ming,a young German born after 1995, is a big fan of Chinese culture.

The greatest pleasure in summer for them was to swim at their local beach after school. But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse sill, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore. They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste.One weekend,Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day's hard work,there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure. That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ate silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently,"You two looked so down. What happened?”Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a low voice,"It's those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible."Understanding the pair's disappointment,their father patted them on the back and comforted,"Well, it's really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem."“Just two of us."complained Maria and Peter,looking at each other.Suddenly, an idea lashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement."Yes,that's the point! We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action!" the pair said in chorus. 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。 Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning.

For Chinese farmers, the benefits are real and immediate. For many, AI is no longer a futuristic idea but a daily tool. While China’s rural AI surge is impressive, it faces challenges of its own. (人工智能正渗透进中国日常生活的方方面面。对中国农民而言，AI带来的好处切实而直接。对许多人来说，AI已不再是遥不可及的未来概念，而成为日常工具。尽管中国农村的人工智能热潮令人瞩目，但它也面临着自身的挑战)”以及后文对教育鸿沟等挑战的阐述可知，本文主要讲述了中国的农村AI应用既有前景也面临挑战。故选D项。 【D篇答案】32.

(结果是一组可以根据用户看到的内容调整颜色的镜片。)”可知，3D打印眼镜的特别之处在于能根据用户的视觉调整颜色。故选C项。 【33题详解】词句猜测题。根据第二段“Two different dyes were used during printing — one blocked the undesired wavelengths for red-green patients and the other occluded those unwanted for yellow-blue patients. (打印过程中使用了两种不同的染料——一种为红绿色盲患者阻挡不需要的波长，另一种为黄蓝色盲患者 不需要的波长。)”可知，根据句意可知划线词和blocked同义，可推测occluded与Removed意思相近，意思为“去除；阻挡”。故选A项。 【34题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段“The research team tested their product against other commercially - available solutions. The team found that their glasses were more selective at blocking different shades. Thanks to the tailored nature of 3D printing, the glasses can be adapted and customized to anyone’s face shape and degree of colorblindness. 3D printing was also chosen as a means to keep the glasses smooth and comfortable on the wearer’s face. (研究团队将他们的产品与其他商业可用的解决方案进行测试。团队发现他们的眼镜在阻挡不同色调方面更具选择性。由于3D打印的定制性质，这些眼镜可以根据任何人的脸型和色盲程度进行调整和定制。3D打印也被选为一种使眼镜在佩戴者脸上保持光滑和舒适的方法。)”可知，第三段主要讲述了使用3D打印技术制作眼镜的优势，比如选择性更好、可定制、佩戴舒适等。故选C项。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“A pair of 3D - printed glasses may not sound revolutionary, but to some people with colorblindness, they could paint a whole new world in color. They will help colorblind people manage the challenges of their daily activities, making their lives easier. (一副3D打印眼镜可能听起来并不具有革命性，但对一些色盲患者来说，它们可以描绘出一个全新的彩色世界。它们将帮助色盲患者应对日常活动中的挑战，让他们的生活更轻松。)”可知，3D打印眼镜能给色盲患者的生活带来便利，是他们的福音。D选项“3D打印眼镜：色盲者的福音。”符合文意。故选D项。 【七选五答案】36. C 37. F 38. E 39. D 40.

Is your body posture(姿态) open and welcoming or closed off?(多听。你真的在听吗？你的身体姿势是开放和欢迎的还是封闭的？)”可知，本句与上文的问句并列，针对专注倾听进行设问。故C选项“你是否完全集中了注意力，还是有其他事情吸引了你的注意力？”符合语境，故选C。 【37题详解】根据上文“Being a good listener not only ensures that you have a better understanding of what is being said, but it also helps you avoid assumptions by paying attention to what is really happening rather than your own story about it.(做一个好的倾听者不仅可以确保你更好地理解所说的内容，还可以帮助你通过关注真实发生的事情而不是你自己的故事来避免假设)”可知，前文提到倾听的两个好处，本句进一步补充倾听的好处，与上文形成递进关系。故F选项“此外，倾听使说话者感到舒适，并鼓励他们也倾听”符合语境，故选F。 【38题详解】根据上文“Think before you speak. Take a moment to really think about what you’ re trying to say before you say it.(三思而后言。在你开口之前，花点时间好好想想你要说什么)”可知，本段主题是“三思而后言”，本句需要紧扣检查说话动机的核心，与后文“Getting in the habit of checking in with why you are speaking can help keep your communication clear and effective.(养成检查你说话原因的习惯可以帮助你保持清晰有效的沟通)”检查为什么要说话呼应。故E选项“你的话是否反映了你的真实感受和你真正想要的或目标？”符合语境，故选E。 【39题详解】根据上文“Allow silence. A lot is communicated in the silence between words-good communication allows for this silence rather than trying to cover it up with words.(允许沉默。语言之间的沉默传达了很多信息——良好的沟通允许这种沉默，而不是试图用语言来掩盖它)”可知，本段主题是“沉默的力量”，本句需要贴合沉默传递非语言信号的语境，D选项中“unspoken messages”与“silence一致。故D选项“优秀的沟通者能捕捉到未说出来的信息并做出反应”符合语境，故选D。 【40题详解】根据上文“Lead with compassion (同情). Compassion leads to a stronger eagerness for harmony, which can help prevent anger and stop us from saying things we might not truly mean.(用同情心来领导。同情会导致对和谐的更强烈渴望，这有助于防止愤怒，阻止我们说一些可能不是真正想说的话)”可知，本段主题是“以同情心引导”，本句是同情心的具体表现，直接点明理解他人意图的方法。故G选项“设身处地为别人着想，我们就能更好地理解他们想要传达的信息”符合语境，故选G。 【完形填空答案】41.

M: Oh no, I’ve been so focused on this difficult math problem that I forgot! W: You really should take better care of yourself. How about taking a short break every hour? 【Text 2】W: Do you ever dress up your cat? M: I tried once, but she didn’t like it and just got out of the clothing. W: That’s quite common. Cats have a mind of their own when it comes to fashion. 【Text 3】M: I’m so hungry! Shall we get some pizza for dinner? W: Actually, I’m into Thai food. I’ll order it from a new restaurant across town. M: It’ll take too long to deliver. Calling the one down the street might be faster. 【Text 4】W: You’re here early. Our meeting won’t start for another ten minutes. M: In German culture, being on time is highly valued. W: I heard that people in Switzerland like being early too. However, most Spanish people arrive right on time or even a few minutes late! 【Text 5】W: That was a tough workout! But attending a one-on-one exercise class is much better than doing my boring running. M: Now do some simple moves to relax your body. This will also help you feel less tired. 【Text 6】M: Have you heard of an app called WeChat? Well, it’s finally coming to Europe! W: I know some friends who have used it while traveling in China. But I first heard about it from a newspaper. M: It’s a convenient tool, which can send money to others and pay for products. W: It might become popular once it spreads. M: I agree. I don’t mind using credit cards for shopping and paying bills. But I’d love an easier way to send money between friends. 【Text 7】W: Hey, my family is going to a celebration tonight. Want to come? M: I love your family’s cultural events. Will it be like that wedding party or baby shower we went to before? W: No. It’s a traditional festival called the Day of the Dead. We wear special clothes to show respect to our loved ones who have passed away. We believe that death is not the end. It allows us to be positive and strengthens the ties between family members. M: Cool. Count me in! Now I must run to class. Let’s meet at the parking lot after school. 【Text 8】M: I’m a bit down lately. My students have difficulty in writing. W: What writing tasks do you give? M: Mainly research papers and summaries of short books. That’s what our school’s head teacher expects from us. W: But writing is much more than that. Try letting students do different things, like interviewing local heroes, and writing poems. M: Will that help them get better at writing? W: Sure. Focus on helping your students find a style they love. It’ll make a big difference once they fall in love with writing. I’d suggest offering several choices and letting them join groups based on their writing tasks. M: Great idea. Having them work together could help them encourage each other! I’ll try that. 【Text 9】W: I’ve just finished organizing our Western paintings for tomorrow’s tour. M: Great. Traditional Mexican silver brought in big crowds last week. And earlier today, people enjoyed the Chinese writing art show. I’m confident it’ll be another success. W: Definitely. Our East Meets West art museum isn’t just about telling the rich history of art traditions, or showing the unique designs by different skilled people. What we’re trying to do is to show all kinds of art from around the world. M: Great point. Should we bring the group together in the showroom at 8:30 tomorrow? W: I think half an hour earlier would be better. And I recommend giving them an hour to share their opinions on their favorite artworks. That will be a good start. M: OK. We’ll finally show the group that it’s not just about seeing different styles of works but understanding how art connects cultures. 【Text 10】M: Hey, everyone! Dr. Jones here. And I’m speaking today to present some tips from my new book. As a former professional athlete, I was always interested in the “mental game” of sports. My basketball coach used to say that performance is mainly about 85% mental factors and only 15% physical ones. So, after an accident that ended my playing days, I started studying the mind and I’ve found some helpful suggestions. First, did you know that smiling can make you feel better? It’s not just about looking friendly. In fact, this simple act can improve your mental health. Another idea is to practice imagining an activity before doing it. Try to feel the success of finishing it perfectly. Then, you’ll be more likely to succeed in real life. But my most preferred idea is the “growth thinking style”. It’s about believing in yourself no matter how hard the situation is. Count on the power of “yet”. You might not be great at something yet, but with hard work, you will be! 高一英语学科答案 第 1 页（共 5 页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
