It 1 by a group or a single person. With one or two pairs of bamboo clappers (竹板)— 2 kind of traditional Chinese musical instrument in hands, the performers tell stories in the local dialect (方言). These stories are usually folk tales or 3 social life. Kuaiban has attracted many young people. In 2019, Liu Jiming and Wan Yifu, two performers from Tianjin, made three short videos of kuaiban pieces 4 were hit millions of times online. So far, they 5 many new works to share on the Internet. They 6 write stories to show respect to people who make contributions to society, such as traffic policemen. According to Liu and Wan, the stories told in kuaiban pieces are close to people’s daily lives, so people 7 understand them much more easily. They consider it a fun way 8 the Chinese folk culture through kuaiban. They are playing an active role in 9 Chinese culture. With their great effort, 10 people begin to know the art form. Folk art forms, like xiangsheng, pingshu and kuaiban, have 11 in common. They are 12 rooted in Chinese history. They all show the beauty and value of traditional Chinese culture, 13 they should be known by more people and get to more areas.

It basically means “love yourself”. 16 do young people like this phrase? Partly because it sounds like talking to an old friend—warm and a little funny. This friendly tone is a great start for learning to 17 yourself. So, how can you love “laoji”? First, talk to 18 the way you talk to your best friend. Choose kindness over criticism (批评). Instead of thinking “Why am I so stupid?”, try “I did my best, and I’ll do 19 next time.” Write down good things you did each day before bed. For example, “I finished my homework on time today—very good.” or “I stayed calm and avoided fights—well done!” This habit helps you feel loved 20 . You can also make your own “energy list”. 21 some sunlight, take a warm bath, go for a walk, or listen to music. Pick one or two small things each day to cheer yourself up. Loving yourself also means learning to say “ 22 ”. Stay away from relationships that drain (耗尽) your energy, environments that hold you back, or situations that make you doubt whether you matter. This doesn’t mean being selfish (自私). It means understanding that protecting your 23 is the first step to truly loving yourself. Finally, reflect 24 . Take 20 minutes to ask yourself: “What did I need but didn’t get this week? What helped me grow? How do I want to care for myself next week?” Write down your answers. This helps you 25 your real needs instead of just following others. “Love you, laoji” teaches us to be our own best friend. So why not start today? 16．A．how B．where C．Why D．When 17．A．care for B．look at C．think of D．talk to 18．A．myself B．herself C．yourself D．ourselves 19．A．faster B．better C．harder D．earlier 20．A．quickly B．suddenly C．secretly D．truly 21．A．Enjoy B．Take C．Find D．Have 22．A．yes B．no C．hello D．sorry 23．A．confidence B．health C．peace D．worth 24．A．daily B．weekly C．monthly D．yearly 25．A．understand B．remember C．express D．hide 【答案】 16．C 17．A 18．C 19．B 20．D 21．A 22．B 23．D 24．B 25．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了‍“爱自己”的重要性以及具体实践方法。 16．句意：为什么年轻人喜欢这个短语呢？ 根据后文“Partly because...”可知，这里是在询问年轻人喜欢这个短语的原因，所以用疑问词Why。 17．句意：这种友好的语气是学习如何爱自己的一个很好的起点。 文章的主题是“Love yourself”。空格前的“learning to”后面需要接一个动词短语，与yourself搭配，表达“关爱自己”的意思。care for意为“照顾、关心”，符合语境。 18．句意：首先，用你平时对好朋友说话的方式与自己交谈。 前文说像和最好的朋友说话那样，这里自然是和自己说话，用yourself。 19．句意：不要想着“我怎么这么笨？”而是试着说“我尽力了，下次我会做得更好。” 前文说不要想“Why am I so stupid?”，而是要尝试积极的想法，所以这里是下次会做得更好，用better。 20．句意：这个习惯可以帮助你感受到被爱的温暖。 每天记录自己做的好事这个习惯能帮助你真正地感受到被爱，truly符合语境。 21．句意：比如晒太阳、泡个温暖的澡、散步或听音乐。 后面列举了晒太阳、洗热水澡等活动，Enjoy some sunlight表示享受阳光，符合文意。 22．句意：爱自己也意味着学会说“不”。 根据后文要远离消耗自己精力的关系等，可知这里是说要学会说“不”，用no。 23．句意：这意味着要明白，保护好自己的价值是真正爱自己的第一步。 远离那些不好的事情是为了保护自己的价值，这是真正爱自己的第一步，worth符合语境。 24．句意：最后，每周反思自己。 根据后文“Take 20 minutes to ask yourself...”以及“next week”可知，这里是每周反思，用weekly。 25．句意：这有助于你了解真正的需求，而不仅仅是跟随别人的需求。 反思并写下答案能帮助你理解自己真正的需求，而不是仅仅跟随别人，understand符合语境。 三、阅读（共两节，满分35分） 第一节 阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从26~45各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） A Redwood National and State Parks A short drive from Northern California’ s coast takes you into the world’ s tallest forests.

Its 50-foot walls are full of green plants. Walk on wooden paths to protect them and watch for elk (麋鹿)—they often walk around quietly nearby.可知，在 Prairie Creek Redwoods，你可以徒步进入蕨类峡谷，看到峡谷岩壁上茂密的绿色植物，同时还能观察附近的麋鹿。 27．根据“Travel Tips”部分的最后一条：Get prepared: Gas, food and hotels are not provided in the parks.可知，公园内不提供汽油、食物和酒店服务，因此游客需要提前准备充足的汽油和食物。 28．本文介绍了红杉公园的游玩区域、活动和旅行注意事项，目的是为游客提供出行指引，符合旅游指南（travel guide）的文体特征。 B “Save the whales!” That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed what he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood. It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whale’s coming. Many animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s home town. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they’d have to do anything about. Then one whale swam directly towards the land. It came in with the waves. When the waves receded, it stayed. Its huge body was on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the huge whale. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use. The whale was so heavy that they couldn’t move it. An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the whale. Jake and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could do something. Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shone the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times, they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to the sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water — a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its life. 29．What does the beginning of the story tell us about Jake? A．He didn’t like his neighbourhood. B．He worked in an animal rescue team. C．He thought whales were the most beautiful animals. D．He was concerned about animals. 30．What does the underlined word “receded” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Didn’t sleep. B．Went forward. C．Moved away. D．Rose up. 31．How did Jake and his family help save the whale? A．By asking local people for help. B．By giving the rescuers food and drink. C．By calling the rescue service. D．By moving the whale on the truck. 32．Which shows the correct order of the following events according to the passage? a. People had to become rescuers. b. The whale disappeared under the sea. c. People turned on the lights of their cars. d. Rescuers lifted the whale into the water. e. People failed to push the whale towards the sea. f. People in Jack’s home town went to see the whale. A．f → a → e → c → d → b B．f → a → d → e → c → b C．c → a → e → f → d → b D．c → a → b → f → d → e 【答案】29．D 30．C 31．B 32．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Jake Smith和他的邻居们如何齐心协力救助一头搁浅的鲸鱼的故事。 29．细节理解题。根据“‘Save the whales!’ That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed what he cared.”可知，Jake关心动物。故选D。 30．词句猜测题。根据“it stayed. Its huge body was on the sand”可知，鲸鱼搁浅在沙滩上，应是海浪退去了，所以划线部分的含义是“退去”。故选C。 31．细节理解题。根据“Jake and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers.”可知，Jake一家通过提供食物和饮料帮助救援。故选B。 32．细节理解题。根据“All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them.”；“ Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers.”；“They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use.”；“ It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shone the headlights on the sand.”；“After trying many times, they were finally able to lift the whale into the water…disappeared for a moment under the sea”可知，正确事件顺序：人们去看鲸鱼→ 被迫成为救援者→推鲸鱼失败→ 用车灯照明→ 救援人员将鲸鱼抬入水中→ 鲸鱼潜入海中。故选A。 C 16-year-old Jared Lepora from the UK has created a robotic arm that imitates the natural movements of a human hand using only ready-made Lego Mindstorms parts. He showcased this invention at the 2025 International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in Hangzhou, China. The teenager co-authored research recently published along with colleagues including his father Nathan Lepora, a professor of robotics and artificial intelligence at the University of Bristol. Jared used Lego Mindstorms, a Lego robotics kit, to build a Lego version of SoftHand-A, a 3D-printed robot hand introduced in an earlier study. “My dad has always been working on robotics. He designs robotic systems with complicated mechanisms, that have lots of real-world applications,” Jared said: “My goal was to create an educational design which shows professional mechanisms in a simple educational way understandable by children.” The design is a playful interpretation of a serious line of robotics research. It is based on the Pisa/IIT SoftHand model, a world-leading development in soft robotics that uses a single tendon (肌腱) system to coordinate finger movements. Jared adapted this concept for educational purposes, replacing the 3D-printed parts and metal bearings with standard Lego components and over 100 plastic Lego bearings. Despite its toy origins, the Lego SoftHand performs remarkably well. Lab tests have shown that it can grip objects with about 90% of the force of a professional 3D-printed SoftHand, and perform open-close cycles in about one second. Since the hand can be constructed from Lego pieces and uses state-of-the-art design concepts for robotic hands, it has the potential to educate and inspire children to learn about the frontiers of modern robotics. “My generation and younger are the future of robotics, so it is essential that we understand and take interest in this field,” Jared says. “Building a robot hand with your own hands is a great way to learn about robotics.” 33．What can be learned about Jared from the first two paragraphs? A．He has an inquiring mind. B．He is keen on cutting-edge tech. C．He is fond of Lego bricks. D．He excels at hands-on projects. 34．What is Jared’s design like? A．Rare and mind-blowing. B．User-friendly and informative. C．Creative and educational. D．Cost-effective and professional. 35．What is the basis for Jared’s design? A．A novel concept of movements. B．Earlier research of Lego robotics. C．An advanced model in soft robotics. D．The availability of Lego components. 36．What message does the text mainly convey? A．Professional tech can be simplified for education. B．Family inspiration fuels scientific innovation. C．Hands-on practice matters in tech learning. D．Think outside the Lego box for tech education. 【答案】33．D 34．C 35．C 36．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了英国16岁少年Jared Lepora利用乐高积木制作出一款高性能仿生机械手的故事。 33．第一段提到Jared“created a robotic arm…using only ready-made Lego Mindstorms parts”，第二段提到他“co-authored research”。这说明他不仅动手实践能力强，还具备科研素养，在动手项目上表现出色。 34．第四段“The design is a playful interpretation of a serious line of robotics research…replacing the 3D-printed parts and metal bearings with standard Lego components and over 100 plastic Lego bearings.”以及第三段指出“My goal was to create an educational design which shows professional mechanisms in a simple educational way understandable by children.”可知，Jared的设计既将专业的机械结构进行了趣味化呈现，又专为儿童设计，具有创意性和教育性。 35．第四段指出“It is based on the Pisa/Ⅱ T SoftHand model, a world-leading development in soft robotics that uses a single tendon system to coordinate finger movements.”，Jared的设计基础是软机器人领域的先进模型。 36．前三段引出Jared的发明，第四段详细说明设计基础，最后一段强调“My generation and younger are the future of robotics…Building a robot hand with your own hands is a great way to learn about robotics.”，核心在于强调专业技术可以简化为教育工具，用于科普和学习。 D Every time generative artificial intelligence (生成式人工智能) writes an e-mail or creates a picture, the planet pays for it. A single chat with ChatGPT can heat up a server (服务器) so much that it requires a bottle of water to cool it. And recent research in Nature Computational Science points out another worry: AI is a big cause of the world’s growing pile of electronic waste. The study found that generative AI applications alone could add 1.2 million to 5 million metric tons of this hazardous trash (有害垃圾) to the planet by 2030, depending on how quickly the industry grows. Such a contribution would add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic products the world produces every year. Phones, computers, and other electronic products often contain toxic substances. When improperly thrown away, they can pollute air, water and soil. The UN found that in 2022, about 78% of the world’s e-waste ended up in landfills or at unofficial (非正规) recycling places. Asaf Tzachor, a researcher at Reichman University, says we must reduce this technology’s environmental influence. The researchers warn that more and more people might use generative AI. Hardware design innovations, meanwhile, could reduce e-waste, but other technological development can make systems cheaper so that more people may use it. This study’s main value comes from its attention to AI’s broad environmental influences, says Shaolei Ren of the University of California. “We might want these companies to slow down a bit.” Few countries have strong laws for the e-waste, and those that do often fail to enforce their laws on it. 25 U.S. states have e-waste management policies, but there is no law that requires electronics recycling. Some companies, however, announce to be taking independent action. Microsoft and Google have promised to reach net zero waste by 2030; achieving them would most likely need to reduce or recycle AI related e-waste. ________ AI products are harder to recycle than standard electronics because they often include a lot of private customer information, says Kees Baldé, an e-waste researcher at the U.N. Institute for Training and Research. But big tech companies can afford to both erase those data and properly deal with their electronics, he points out. “Yes, it costs something, but the gains for society are much larger.” 37．How does the writer show that generative AI produces problems? A．By giving examples. B．By telling stories. C．By asking questions. D．By showing pictures. 38．What can we learn about e-waste? A．It pollutes the water seriously because it can’t be recycled. B．It can be reduced by developing new generative AI systems. C．It may pollute the environment if improperly thrown away. D．It is mainly produced by common electronic products like phones. 39．Which of the following is the most suitable for ________? A．Moreover, there’s another problem as well. B．As a result, they devoted much money to recycling. C．However, some companies care little about customers. D．Instead, the use of AI products is increasing even faster. 40．What will the writer most probably talk about next? A．The advantages of using generative AI. B．The history of inventing generative AI. C．The influence AI has on the environment. D．The ways to solve AI’s e-waste problem. 【答案】37．A 38．C 39．A 40．D 【导语】本文介绍了随着人工智能快速发展带来的环境问题。 37．根据第一段“A single chat with ChatGPT can heat up a server (服务器) so much that it requires a bottle of water to cool it...”，可知作者通过不断给出具体例子来展示生成式人工智能带来的环境问题。 38．由最后一段“But big tech companies can afford to both erase those data and properly deal with their electronics”可知，电子垃圾可以被回收，排除A项；第三段“Hardware design innovations, meanwhile, could reduce e-waste”说明能减少电子垃圾的是硬件设计创新，B项错误；第二段明确指出“When improperly thrown away, they can pollute air, water and soil”，电子垃圾处理不恰当，会污染环境，C项符合句意；根据第二段“Phones, computers, and other electronic products often contain toxic substances”，可知产生电子垃圾的设备包括手机、电脑和其他电子产品。 39．综合第六段，该段主要讲述回收人工智能相关产品时出现的问题和现状。这类电子垃圾包含用户的私人信息，回收成本高昂，也属于一个需要面对的问题。A项符合逻辑。 40．本文主要介绍了人工智能发展带来的相关环境问题，最后一段描述了回收人工智能相关产品的现状，接下来作者应该会谈及如何处理人工智能电子垃圾的方法。D项符合逻辑。 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A〜E选项，选出可以填入41〜45各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑 As the clock strikes (击打) midnight on December 31st, people around the world welcome the New Year in their own special ways. 41 New Year Celebrations in the United States In the United States, a famous tradition is watching the “ball drop” in New York City’s Times Square. When a huge, brightly-lit (灯火通明的) ball slowly drops, people count down the final seconds together. 42 Another popular activity is watching college football games on New Year’s Day. 43 If you travel to Scotland, you’ll find a celebration called Hogmanay. One interesting custom is “first footing”. After midnight, the first person to enter a home should be a tall, dark-haired man, bringing gifts like shortbread (酥饼), whisky, and coal for good luck. This tradition is said to keep away bad spirits from the past. Interesting Customs in Europe In Spain, people try to eat twelve grapes in the twelve seconds before midnight. 44 In Germany, people often eat sweets shaped like pigs, as pigs are symbols of good luck in their culture. Unusual Traditions in Other Countries 45 In Greece (希腊), families break a pomegranate (石榴) on New Year’s Day. They also gently tap children’s heads with an onion in the morning, hoping it brings growth and health. In parts of Latin America, people walk around with an empty suitcase, wishing for a year full of travel. No matter how people celebrate, the New Year is a time for hope, joy and new beginnings.

It basically means “love yourself”. 16 do young people like this phrase? Partly because it sounds like talking to an old friend—warm and a little funny. This friendly tone is a great start for learning to 17 yourself. So, how can you love “laoji”? First, talk to 18 the way you talk to your best friend. Choose kindness over criticism (批评). Instead of thinking “Why am I so stupid?”, try “I did my best, and I’ll do 19 next time.” Write down good things you did each day before bed. For example, “I finished my homework on time today—very good.” or “I stayed calm and avoided fights—well done!” This habit helps you feel loved 20 . You can also make your own “energy list”. 21 some sunlight, take a warm bath, go for a walk, or listen to music. Pick one or two small things each day to cheer yourself up. Loving yourself also means learning to say “ 22 ”. Stay away from relationships that drain (耗尽) your energy, environments that hold you back, or situations that make you doubt whether you matter. This doesn’t mean being selfish (自私). It means understanding that protecting your 23 is the first step to truly loving yourself. Finally, reflect 24 . Take 20 minutes to ask yourself: “What did I need but didn’t get this week? What helped me grow? How do I want to care for myself next week?” Write down your answers. This helps you 25 your real needs instead of just following others. “Love you, laoji” teaches us to be our own best friend.

B “Save the whales!” That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed what he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood. It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whale’s coming. Many animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s home town. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they’d have to do anything about. Then one whale swam directly towards the land. It came in with the waves. When the waves receded, it stayed. Its huge body was on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the huge whale. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use. The whale was so heavy that they couldn’t move it. An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the whale. Jake and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could do something. Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shone the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times, they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to the sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water — a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its life. 29．What does the beginning of the story tell us about Jake? A．He didn’t like his neighbourhood. B．He worked in an animal rescue team. C．He thought whales were the most beautiful animals. D．He was concerned about animals. 30．What does the underlined word “receded” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Didn’t sleep. B．Went forward. C．Moved away. D．Rose up. 31．How did Jake and his family help save the whale? A．By asking local people for help. B．By giving the rescuers food and drink. C．By calling the rescue service.

People turned on the lights of their cars. d. Rescuers lifted the whale into the water. e. People failed to push the whale towards the sea. f. People in Jack’s home town went to see the whale. A．f → a → e → c → d → b B．f → a → d → e → c → b C．c → a → e → f → d → b D．c → a → b → f → d → e C 16-year-old Jared Lepora from the UK has created a robotic arm that imitates the natural movements of a human hand using only ready-made Lego Mindstorms parts. He showcased this invention at the 2025 International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in Hangzhou, China. The teenager co-authored research recently published along with colleagues including his father Nathan Lepora, a professor of robotics and artificial intelligence at the University of Bristol. Jared used Lego Mindstorms, a Lego robotics kit, to build a Lego version of SoftHand-A, a 3D-printed robot hand introduced in an earlier study. “My dad has always been working on robotics. He designs robotic systems with complicated mechanisms, that have lots of real-world applications,” Jared said: “My goal was to create an educational design which shows professional mechanisms in a simple educational way understandable by children.” The design is a playful interpretation of a serious line of robotics research. It is based on the Pisa/IIT SoftHand model, a world-leading development in soft robotics that uses a single tendon (肌腱) system to coordinate finger movements. Jared adapted this concept for educational purposes, replacing the 3D-printed parts and metal bearings with standard Lego components and over 100 plastic Lego bearings. Despite its toy origins, the Lego SoftHand performs remarkably well. Lab tests have shown that it can grip objects with about 90% of the force of a professional 3D-printed SoftHand, and perform open-close cycles in about one second. Since the hand can be constructed from Lego pieces and uses state-of-the-art design concepts for robotic hands, it has the potential to educate and inspire children to learn about the frontiers of modern robotics. “My generation and younger are the future of robotics, so it is essential that we understand and take interest in this field,” Jared says. “Building a robot hand with your own hands is a great way to learn about robotics.” 33．What can be learned about Jared from the first two paragraphs? A．He has an inquiring mind. B．He is keen on cutting-edge tech. C．He is fond of Lego bricks. D．He excels at hands-on projects. 34．What is Jared’s design like? A．Rare and mind-blowing. B．User-friendly and informative. C．Creative and educational. D．Cost-effective and professional. 35．What is the basis for Jared’s design? A．A novel concept of movements. B．Earlier research of Lego robotics. C．An advanced model in soft robotics. D．The availability of Lego components. 36．What message does the text mainly convey? A．Professional tech can be simplified for education. B．Family inspiration fuels scientific innovation. C．Hands-on practice matters in tech learning. D．Think outside the Lego box for tech education. D Every time generative artificial intelligence (生成式人工智能) writes an e-mail or creates a picture, the planet pays for it. A single chat with ChatGPT can heat up a server (服务器) so much that it requires a bottle of water to cool it. And recent research in Nature Computational Science points out another worry: AI is a big cause of the world’s growing pile of electronic waste. The study found that generative AI applications alone could add 1.2 million to 5 million metric tons of this hazardous trash (有害垃圾) to the planet by 2030, depending on how quickly the industry grows. Such a contribution would add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic products the world produces every year. Phones, computers, and other electronic products often contain toxic substances. When improperly thrown away, they can pollute air, water and soil. The UN found that in 2022, about 78% of the world’s e-waste ended up in landfills or at unofficial (非正规) recycling places. Asaf Tzachor, a researcher at Reichman University, says we must reduce this technology’s environmental influence. The researchers warn that more and more people might use generative AI. Hardware design innovations, meanwhile, could reduce e-waste, but other technological development can make systems cheaper so that more people may use it. This study’s main value comes from its attention to AI’s broad environmental influences, says Shaolei Ren of the University of California. “We might want these companies to slow down a bit.” Few countries have strong laws for the e-waste, and those that do often fail to enforce their laws on it. 25 U.S. states have e-waste management policies, but there is no law that requires electronics recycling. Some companies, however, announce to be taking independent action. Microsoft and Google have promised to reach net zero waste by 2030; achieving them would most likely need to reduce or recycle AI related e-waste. ________ AI products are harder to recycle than standard electronics because they often include a lot of private customer information, says Kees Baldé, an e-waste researcher at the U.N. Institute for Training and Research. But big tech companies can afford to both erase those data and properly deal with their electronics, he points out. “Yes, it costs something, but the gains for society are much larger.” 37．How does the writer show that generative AI produces problems? A．By giving examples. B．By telling stories. C．By asking questions. D．By showing pictures. 38．What can we learn about e-waste? A．It pollutes the water seriously because it can’t be recycled. B．It can be reduced by developing new generative AI systems. C．It may pollute the environment if improperly thrown away. D．It is mainly produced by common electronic products like phones. 39．Which of the following is the most suitable for ________? A．Moreover, there’s another problem as well. B．As a result, they devoted much money to recycling. C．However, some companies care little about customers. D．Instead, the use of AI products is increasing even faster. 40．What will the writer most probably talk about next? A．The advantages of using generative AI. B．The history of inventing generative AI. C．The influence AI has on the environment. D．The ways to solve AI’s e-waste problem. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A〜E选项，选出可以填入41〜45各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑 As the clock strikes (击打) midnight on December 31st, people around the world welcome the New Year in their own special ways. 41 New Year Celebrations in the United States In the United States, a famous tradition is watching the “ball drop” in New York City’s Times Square. When a huge, brightly-lit (灯火通明的) ball slowly drops, people count down the final seconds together. 42 Another popular activity is watching college football games on New Year’s Day. 43 If you travel to Scotland, you’ll find a celebration called Hogmanay. One interesting custom is “first footing”. After midnight, the first person to enter a home should be a tall, dark-haired man, bringing gifts like shortbread (酥饼), whisky, and coal for good luck. This tradition is said to keep away bad spirits from the past. Interesting Customs in Europe In Spain, people try to eat twelve grapes in the twelve seconds before midnight. 44 In Germany, people often eat sweets shaped like pigs, as pigs are symbols of good luck in their culture. Unusual Traditions in Other Countries 45 In Greece (希腊), families break a pomegranate (石榴) on New Year’s Day. They also gently tap children’s heads with an onion in the morning, hoping it brings growth and health. In parts of Latin America, people walk around with an empty suitcase, wishing for a year full of travel. No matter how people celebrate, the New Year is a time for hope, joy and new beginnings. Different traditions show different cultures, but they all carry the same best wishes for the new year. A．Special Traditions in Scotland B．Some traditions are even more unusual. C．They cheer and enjoy the exciting moment. D．Here are different new year traditions in different countries.
