The one-day event featured keynote speeches, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops covering topics ranging from AI-powered personalized learning systems to automated grading tools. Attendees also explored ethical concerns about data privacy and the role of teachers in an increasingly automated education landscape. "AI will not replace teachers, but teachers who use AI will replace those who don't," said Professor Li Wei from Tsinghua University in his opening address. He demonstrated how intelligent tutoring systems can identify students' weak points and provide targeted exercises, reducing teachers' workload by up to 30%. Several schools shared their success stories. A high school in Shanghai reported that after introducing an AI-based English learning platform, students' speaking scores improved by an average of 25% within six months. Meanwhile, a rural school in Yunnan used AI tools to connect students with virtual teachers, bridging the gap caused by teacher shortages. However, not everyone was optimistic. Zhang Mei, a veteran teacher with 20 years of experience, warned against over-reliance on technology. "Education is about human connection," she said. "No algorithm can replace the encouragement a teacher gives a struggling student." The conference concluded with a joint statement calling for more investment in AI teacher training and the establishment of ethical guidelines for AI use in schools. 21. What did Professor Li Wei emphasize in his speech? A. AI will eventually replace human teachers. B. Teachers need to learn to work with AI. C. AI reduces the quality of education. D. Teachers are more efficient than AI systems. 22. What benefit did the rural school in Yunnan gain from AI? A. Higher student test scores. B. Reduced teacher training costs. C. Access to remote teaching resources. D. Increased student enrollment. 23. Where is this text most likely to be found? A. An academic journal. B. A technology magazine. C. A news report. D. An education textbook. B When 17-year-old Zhang Haoran first picked up a scrapped (废弃的) mobile phone from an e-waste recycling station, he had no idea it would lead to a national award. Three years later, the high school student from Guangdong has developed an innovative device that turns old smartphone batteries into portable chargers for rural areas with unreliable electricity. Growing up in a family of electrical engineers, Zhang was fascinated by how things work. At age 12, he could already fix broken radios and remotes. But his passion found real direction during a school trip to a remote village in Guangxi, where he saw children studying by candlelight because their village had no stable power supply. "That image stayed with me," Zhang recalled. "I thought, if we have so many discarded (丢弃的) electronics in cities, why can't we use them to help?" The idea seemed simple: extract usable batteries from discarded phones, test their safety, and repackage them into portable power banks. But the execution was anything but. Over two years, Zhang spent countless weekends in his makeshift home laboratory, learning battery chemistry and circuit design through online courses. He went through over 200 discarded phones before finding a safe and efficient method. His final product—a portable charger that can be assembled in 15 minutes using basic tools—costs only 15 yuan to produce but can power a small LED light for 30 hours. Since winning second prize at the National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition, Zhang has distributed over 500 chargers to villages in three provinces. "The best part isn't the award," Zhang said. "It's knowing that somewhere, a child can do homework after sunset because of something I made." His teacher, Ms. Chen, noted that Zhang's perseverance was key. "Many students have good ideas, but Zhang was willing to fail hundreds of times to make his work." Now in his final year of high school, Zhang hopes to study electrical engineering in college. "I want to keep finding solutions where waste meets need," he said. 24. What inspired Zhang Haoran to develop the portable charger? A. His family background in engineering. B. A school trip to an underpowered village. C. His experience at an e-waste station. D. A national science competition. 25. What challenge did Zhang face during his development process? A. Lack of funding for his project. B. Difficulty finding discarded phones. C. Limited knowledge in battery technology. D. Disapproval from his teachers. 26. What does Ms. Chen highlight about Zhang's success? A. His intelligence and talent. B. His willingness to learn from others. C. His family's financial support. D. His determination despite repeated failures. 27. What is the best title for this text? A. From E-waste to Energy: A Teen's Invention B. The Future of Rural Electrification in China C. A Young Engineer's Award-winning Project D. How Discarded Phones Help the Environment C In a narrow alley (小巷) of downtown Shanghai, a tiny bookstore called "Slow Page" has become an unlikely tourist attraction—not for what it sells, but for what it doesn't have: Wi-Fi, payment scanners, or even a cash register. Opened in January 2024 by retired librarian Chen Yuming, 68, the bookstore operates on an old-fashioned honor system. Customers browse shelves packed with second-hand books, leave cash in a wooden box, and write down what they've taken in a worn ledger (账簿). Prices are handwritten on stickers: most books cost between 5 and 20 yuan. "People ask me why I don't modernize," Chen said while arranging newly donated books on a rainy afternoon. "I tell them that slow things have value too. This isn't just about books; it's about trust." The idea came to Chen after he noticed how digital payments and online shopping were changing social interactions. "I saw people come into shops without saying a word—just scanning codes and leaving. Something was being lost." His bookstore now attracts thousands of visitors monthly, from curious teenagers to nostalgic elderly. Many come not just to buy books but to experience something increasingly rare: face-to-face, trust-based transaction. Zhang Wei, a 24-year-old software engineer, discovered the shop through social media. "At first, I thought it was a performance art piece," he said. "But after visiting, I realized how refreshing it was to be trusted. I ended up buying three books and leaving extra money." The shop's success has inspired similar experiments in other cities. A café in Chengdu now offers "pay what you feel" tea, while a vegetable stand in Hangzhou replaced its price tags with a donation box. Yet Chen remains modest about his influence. "I'm not trying to start a revolution," he said. "I just want to remind people that before we had all this technology, we had each other." Not everyone is convinced. Some security experts have questioned the sustainability of cash-based systems, citing theft risks. But Chen notes that in nearly two years, he has lost fewer than 200 yuan to dishonest customers—far less than credit card processing fees. "The few people who cheat are not the ones I worry about," Chen said. "I worry about the many who have forgotten how to trust." 28. What makes Slow Page bookstore unusual? A. Its location in downtown Shanghai. B. Its traditional way of doing business. C. Its large collection of rare books. D. Its modern digital payment system. 29. Why did Chen Yuming start this bookstore? A. To make a high profit. B. To preserve the value of trust. C. To compete with online shops. D. To promote second-hand books. 30. How did Zhang Wei initially react to the bookstore concept? A. He doubted its authenticity. B. He found it very efficient. C. He considered it inconvenient. D. He thought it too expensive. 31. What does Chen suggest about dishonest customers? A. They are a serious problem. B. They should be punished strictly. C. They are less concerning than loss of trust. D. They will eventually change their behavior. D In February 2024, archaeologists announced a discovery that could rewrite the timeline of human writing: three small clay cylinders (圆柱体) found in Syria, engraved with symbols that appear to represent an unknown language, dating back to around 2400 BCE—600 years earlier than previously known writing systems from the region. The cylinders, each about the size of a thumb, were discovered in a tomb near the ancient city of Ebla during a joint Syrian-German excavation (挖掘). Initially dismissed as decorative beads, they sat in storage for eight months before graduate student Lena Schmidt noticed systematic patterns in the markings. "When I saw them under magnification, I realized these weren't random scratches," said Schmidt, 26, from the University of Tubingen. "The same symbols appeared multiple times across different cylinders, suggesting they carried consistent meaning." If confirmed, this would push back the appearance of writing in the Levant region by nearly a millennium (一千年) and challenge the long-held belief that writing spread outward from Mesopotamia, where Sumerian cuneiform (楔形文字) emerged around 3000 BCE. The discovery has sparked intense debate. Dr. Amira Hassan, a writing systems expert at Cairo University, urges caution. "We need more evidence before rewriting history. The symbols could be decorative patterns, ownership marks, or even ancient games. We don't yet have a Rosetta Stone to translate them." But Dr. Markus Richter, the excavation leader, is more confident. "The systematic repetition is strong evidence. We've already identified at least 14 distinct symbols, and their distribution patterns match known writing systems from later periods." The research team has begun comparing the symbols with other ancient scripts, including Linear Elamite and Proto-Cuneiform. Preliminary analysis suggests possible connections, though much remains uncertain. What is most exciting, researchers say, is the cylinders' context. They were found alongside high-quality goods—gold jewelry, carved ivory, and fine pottery—suggesting the writer or owner was wealthy and influential. "Writing in this period wasn't for everyday shopping lists," Richter explained. "It was for recording important information—trade records, religious texts, or perhaps royal announcements." The discovery has also renewed interest in other undeciphered (未被破译的) inscriptions across the Middle East. "There are dozens of artifacts in museum baselines that might contain similar writing," Schmidt said. "People just didn't know what to look for." The team plans to publish their full findings later this year and has applied for funding to conduct chemical analysis on the cylinders' clay origin. "If we can trace where the clay came from," Richter said, "we might understand who these people were and who they were trading with." Whether the cylinders represent a fully developed writing system or a precursor remains to be proven. But as Hassan notes, "Either way, this is a remarkable find. It reminds us that the story of human communication is far more complex than we imagined." 32. What is the significance of the clay cylinders if the discovery is confirmed? A. They suggest an unknown ancient language. B. They prove Mesopotamia as the origin of writing. C. They push back the timeline of Levant writing by 600 years. D. They contain the oldest complete sentence ever found. 33. Why does Dr. Amira Hassan urge caution about the discovery? A. The cylinders were found in a tomb. B. The symbols cannot be currently deciphered. C. The excavation was not properly conducted. D. The cylinders have been in storage for too long. 34. What does the context of the cylinders suggest about writing in that period? A. It was mainly used by wealthy individuals. B. It was taught to most ordinary people. C. It was used for everyday shopping lists. D. It was forbidden to common citizens. 35. What plan does the research team have for future study? A. Find more similar artifacts in museums. B. Publish a complete translation of the symbols. C. Conduct chemical analysis on the clay's origin. D. Compare the symbols with modern writing systems. 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。 Feeling anxious about public speaking? You're not alone. Surveys consistently rank glossophobia—the fear of public speaking—as one of the most common phobias, affecting up to 75% of people. ___36___ Prepare thoroughly, but not excessively. Over-preparing can actually increase anxiety by making you focus on perfection. Instead, know your key points well but leave room for natural delivery. ___37___ Practice your opening and closing lines until they feel natural—these are the parts audiences remember most. Transform anxiety into excitement. Studies show that reinterpreting physical symptoms of anxiety (racing heart, sweaty palms) as excitement rather than fear improves performance. ___38___ Before speaking, tell yourself "I'm excited" instead of "I'm nervous." Connect with your audience early. Arrive early to greet audience members as they enter. ___39___ That's because your brain releases oxytocin (催产素)—a bonding chemical—through eye contact and conversation, making the room feel safer. Use strategic pauses. Nervous speakers tend to rush. But pauses create emphasis and give you time to breathe. ___40___ If you lose your place, pause, smile, and glance at your notes. Most audience members won't even notice the slip. Remember: audiences want you to succeed. They're not judging you; they're hoping to learn something valuable. That shift in perspective—from performance to service—is the ultimate anxiety cure. A. Practice in front of a mirror or record yourself. B. Brief conversations build familiarity with your audience. C. The good news is that public speaking anxiety can be managed. D. After delivering a key point, pause for three seconds before continuing. E. Try this right before going on stage: instead of calming yourself down, pump yourself up. F. Write down your entire speech word-for-word to ensure you don't forget anything important. G. Focus on your message's value to the audience rather than on yourself. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My grandmother taught me the art of patience through gardening.

Day after day, I checked, ___44___ to see any change. By day ten, I had ___45___ and stopped visiting the garden. Two weeks later, Grandma called me outside. Where I had planted seeds, green stems had ___46___ through the soil, standing nearly a foot tall. "You can't ___47___ a sunflower to grow faster by watching it," she said. "It grows while you're ___48___ something else." That lesson stayed with me. In my twenties, I ___49___ my first novel. I checked my email every five minutes for publisher responses, growing increasingly ___50___ with each empty inbox. Remembering Grandma's sunflowers, I ___51___ my approach. I stopped waiting and started writing my next book. By the time the publisher's ___52___ arrived—eight months later—I had completed two more ___53___. The acceptance letter was wonderful, but more valuable was what I'd learned: progress happens when you're busy ___54___, not when you're anxiously waiting. Now whenever I feel ___55___, I plant something. Not just seeds, but ideas, skills, relationships. And I trust the process. 41. A. results B. answers C. help D. attention 42. A. waste B. require C. break D. teach 43. A. turned B. pressed C. dropped D. threw 44. A. afraid B. eager C. lucky D. hesitant 45. A. given up B. fallen behind C. gone away D. shown off 46.

The building, ___57___ (create) by the British company 14Trees, took just 18 hours to print—compared to nearly 70 days for traditional construction. The printer, ___58___ measures 10 meters wide and 6 meters tall, uses a special concrete mixture that hardens quickly. The total cost was about $7,000, roughly half ___59___ price of conventional building methods. "___60___ (traditional), even after we fund a school, villagers wait months or years for construction," said Julianna Kuipers, a local education official. "Now they watch walls rise within a single day. It changes ___61___ they think is possible." The technology has already attracted attention from other African nations. Kenya and Zimbabwe ___62___ (express) interest in similar projects, with discussions underway for at least five additional schools. However, some engineers question the material's ___63___ (long) -term durability, especially in areas with heavy rains. 14Trees responds that their structures are designed to last 50 years and have passed all local building safety tests. For students at the new school, the ___64___ (excite) is simple. "Before, we studied under a tree," said 12-year-old Grace. "Now we have ___65___ actual room with walls that keep the wind out. I can finally hear my teacher properly." 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你校正在开展"心理健康宣传周"活动。请你为校英文报写一封倡议书，呼吁同学们关注心理健康。内容包括： 1. 心理健康的重要性； 2. 常见心理问题的表现； 3. 寻求帮助的途径。 注意： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。 Dear fellow students, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 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。 In a small coastal village in Fujian, 72-year-old fisherman Chen Changyi had spent his entire life on the sea. Every morning, regardless of weather, he would load his wooden boat with nets and head out before sunrise. But for the past three months, he had returned empty-handed each day. "What's the point?" his grandson Xiaojun, 16, asked one evening as Chen silently mended his nets by oil lamp. "The fish are gone. Everyone says it's the warming seas. Why do you still go?" Chen didn't answer immediately. He ran his weathered fingers along the net's woven threads, checking each knot (绳结) with the attention of a jeweler examining diamonds. "Your father asked me the same question twenty years ago," he finally said. "He didn't understand either. So he left for the city." Xiaojun had heard this story before. His father worked in a Shenzhen factory, returning only once a year during Spring Festival. They rarely spoke. "The sea doesn't owe us fish every day," Chen continued, tying a loose knot. "But we owe the sea our respect. Every day I go out, I learn something. The direction of the wind. The temperature of the water. The silence of birds when a storm approaches. These things are in my blood now." "But what good is knowledge without fish?" Xiaojun argued. "We can barely afford rice." Chen smiled, a rare expression that softened his weather-beaten face. "Patience, boy. The sea has its own calendar." The next morning, a violent storm swept through the village. While other fishermen secured their boats, Chen studied the sky with unusual intensity. The clouds moved in patterns he hadn't seen in thirty years. The wind carried a smell he almost didn't recognize. "Xiaojun," he called urgently, "prepare the boat." "In this storm? Are you crazy?" "Trust me. This wind means the yellow croaker (黄花鱼) are running. They only come once a decade. We have maybe four hours." 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。 Xiaojun hesitated, rain already soaking through his thin jacket, but something in his grandfather's eyes convinced him. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ When they returned to shore that evening, every other fisherman in the village was watching. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力原文 Text 1 W: Are you coming to the meeting at 2 o'clock?

With increasing academic pressure, many of us experience anxiety, sleep problems, or loss of motivation without realizing these are warning signs. If you feel overwhelmed, remember you are not alone. Talk to a trusted friend, visit our school counseling center, or call the mental health hotline on the school website. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Let's care for our minds as we care for our bodies. A healthy mind makes a brighter future possible for all of us. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） Possible version: Xiaojun hesitated, rain already soaking through his thin jacket, but something in his grandfather's eyes convinced him. Within minutes, they were cutting through the violent waves, the small boat rocking dangerously. Chen navigated entirely by instinct, his weathered hands steady on the wooden rudder. "There!" he shouted over the wind, pointing to a patch of darker water. Xiaojun threw the net as he had been taught a hundred times before. They waited in tense silence. When they began pulling the net back, its weight nearly dragged them overboard. The net was filled with yellow croaker—hundreds of them, their golden scales flashing even in the storm's gray light. When they returned to shore that evening, every other fisherman in the village was watching. Word had spread. As Chen and Xiaojun unloaded their catch—more fish than most boats brought in during a month—the crowd fell silent. Then an old fisherman stepped forward, bowed his head slightly, and said, "The sea has spoken to Chen again." That night, Xiaojun helped his grandfather salt the fish for preservation. As they worked, Chen said quietly, "Now you understand. The sea does not give to those who demand. It gives to those who listen." Xiaojun nodded, thinking of all the mornings he had slept in while his grandfather went out alone. Tomorrow, he decided, he would wake before sunrise. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
