One possible version:
By Helping Others, You Will Feel Good About Yourself
This famous saying perfectly shows the magic of kindness. When we reach out to those in need, we don’t just solve their problems — we also get a deep sense of happiness and fulfillment. It’s like giving a gift and receiving something precious in return.
Last term, my classmate Li Hong struggled with English grammar. I offered to help her review every Wednesday afternoon. We went over difficult rules together and did exercises. After a month, she got a much better grade in the exam. When she thanked me with a big smile, I felt a warm joy in my heart that no award could bring. This experience made me truly understand the meaning of the saying.
第二节
One possible version:
As time went by, I fell in love with walking. I’d wander through the quiet woods behind our house, listening to birds sing and leaves rustle, feeling calm in the quiet. I even skipped the afternoon school bus on purpose, walking the two miles home even when the wind was cold. Slowly, I started losing weight — little by little, but enough that my jeans felt looser. And as I felt better about myself, proud of my walks and the strength they gave me, I began making friends.
One new friend who also had trouble with her weight lived near me. So we met after school to walk together. We talked and laughed the whole way, and it became our daily thing. She told me I didn’t have to be perfect — no one is. I just needed to be myself and happy with who I am. I never want to go through that lonely, sad, embarrassing time again, but I’m glad I got through it. Now, whenever life gets hard and I face problems, I always remember the saying — “This too shall pass.”

W: Hello, and welcome to One World. This week, we’re talking about International Coastal Clean- up Day. Let’s talk to one of the nine million volunteers — Alan from Mexico. So Alan, what are the most common items the volunteers pick up?
M: Cigarettes. You find them everywhere. In the last Ocean Clean- up, we collected nearly two million worldwide. Plastic bottles come in at number two. We picked up over a million of them. There are also loads of plastic bags. And then come bottle tops, food containers. These are all things that people leave.
W: OK. Who gets involved in the big beach clean- up?
M: Everybody. There are whole families, students, young and old. We were quite a small group last year. But this time there were hundreds of us. It was really cool to see so many people.
W: So it’s a fun day — but also an important day.
M: That’s right. We must continue to have clean- up days to keep our oceans clean. But to really solve the problem, we have to stop throwing rubbish into the sea in the first place. It’s a no- brainer. Only then will we have clean, healthy oceans.
(Text 10)
W: Today, I want to share this book, Beatrix Potter: A Life in Nature. As a child, I loved Beatrix Potter, the creator of Peter Rabbit. I loved her work, the story of her life and her art.
According to the book, there was a time in history when women were not allowed to use all the art mediums, except watercolour, the only one art form women could practise. Of course, it was what Beatrix Potter knew and she became a true master of watercolours. This woman created such an unusual world with her art that it just inspired me to also fall in love with the medium of watercolour.
When I considered pursuing art in university, I had quite a few teachers, telling me that I really had to focus on other areas of art and not focus so much on painting little imaginative animals and fairies. And reading this book was just such a wonderful experience to remember her and her story and just really stay tuned to what I really wanted to paint. So it has meant a lot just to be able to express myself in the way I always wanted. Beatrix Potter inspired me to do so.

Introduction to World Famous Canals
Suez Canal (Egypt)
Stretching 193 km across Egypt’s Isthmus of Suez, it opened in 1869 after 10 years of construction. Linking the Mediterranean and Red Seas, it eliminates the need to sail around Africa, cutting maritime travel between Europe and Asia by 7,000-8,000 km. Handling about 12% of global trade (especially oil and goods), it’s called the “Lifeline of Global Shipping”. Its strategic value makes it a critical economic asset for Egypt, generating billions in annual tolls (通行费).
Panama Canal (Panama)
Spanning 82 km across Panama’s Isthmus, it opened in 1914, replacing a 12,000-km voyage around South America. It connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans via locks that lift ships 26 metres. Carrying 6% of global trade (e. g., grains, vehicles), it’s praised as a “marvel of modern engineering”. A 2016 expansion let it handle larger “New Panamax” ships, boosting its capacity and global trade role.
Grand Canal (China)
The world’s longest artificial canal (1,776 km), it dates to the 5th century BCE, with major expansions in the Sui Dynasty (6th-7th centuries CE). Running from Beijing to Hangzhou, it historically linked northern and southern China, enabling grain, silk, and cultural exchange. Today, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, used for local shipping, irrigation, and tourism-seen as a “testament (见证) to ancient Chinese ingenuity (独创力)”.
Kiel Canal (Germany)
At 98 km long, Germany’s Kiel Canal (opened 1895) cuts through Schleswig-Holstein, connecting the North Sea (Kiel Fjord) and Baltic Sea (Brunsbüttel). It shortens the route between the two seas by 370 km, avoiding the stormy Skagerrak Strait. It’s one of the world’s busiest canals for commercial and recreational ships, valued for its role in European trade and regional economy, and admired for its efficient, well-maintained infrastructure (基础设施).
21. Why is the Suez Canal called a “Lifeline of Global Shipping”?
A. It has the greatest length.
B. It’s the oldest canal still in use.
C. It carries out half of the world’s trade.
D. It saves maritime travel distance for trade.
22. Which canal can be described as “still playing a historical role”?
A. Suez Canal. B. Panama Canal. C. Grand Canal. D. Kiel Canal.
23. What do the Panama Canal and Kiel Canal have in common?
A. Both connect two seas or oceans.
B. Both have a length of over 100 km.
C. Both were expanded after opening.
D. Both mainly serve Asian-European trade.
B
It’s a familiar tale these days: A Canadian quits his exhausting day job to pursue a dream, like opening a coffee shop, and finds freedom and joy. My story is similar, with a twist (转折).
It began in 2016, during the last semester of my philosophy undergraduate, when I decided to become a writer after being inspired by modern and classic works I was reading. I earned a journalism master’s from New York University and worked at Toronto Life magazine. I had some success, interviewing important figures and even writing for The New York Times. But behind the scenes, I was constantly stressed and struggling to make rent.
Then things changed. Last summer, a friend invited me to coach a small group of 11-year-old volleyball players. I always loved volleyball but had pushed it aside because I thought it couldn’t be a career. I jumped at the chance. Every morning, I trained the kids on passing, setting and serving. I had gone from interviewing people to playing volleyball in the park with kids. Surprisingly, I felt alive again.
Volleyball reawakened a spirit of playfulness in me. I didn’t have to sit behind a computer all day. The parents paid me fairly and on time, and my work could not be replaced by artificial intelligence. So I went all in. I found gym space, started running my own clinics and created an organization called Super Volley.
Things are going decently well so far. Like many small businesses, I’m at the mercy of a rising cost of living, a harsh (严峻的) economy and consumers who might devote their Saturdays to something else. But I’ll keep going because this volleyball thing rewards me in ways that go well beyond money or journalistic fame.
24. Why does the author mention a familiar tale at the very beginning?
A. To show his big success directly.
B. To introduce his similar but different story.
C. To explain why he quits his day job.
D. To praise the trend of chasing dreams.
25. What challenge arose during the author’s writing career?
A. He failed to interview famous people.
B. He had no chance to do significant work.
C. He suffered constant stress and rent trouble.
D. He couldn’t afford the gym training cost.
26. What benefit does the author’s new job have according to Paragraph 4?
A. It cannot be replaced by technology.
B. It enables him to earn a huge fortune.
C. It brings more creative possibilities.
D. It earns him more public attention.
27. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph?
A. He still questions if coaching is a long-term career.
B. He is sure his volleyball business will grow soon.
C. He sometimes regrets quitting his former writing job.
D. He is practical and gains deep joy from his own work.
C
Spring, summer, fall, winter — and now: trash season. A new study suggests the Earth is developing entirely new seasons, built not natural rhythms but by human activity. They’re showing up on the calendar whether we like it or not.
In Southeast Asia, there’s now a predictable few weeks each year when the sky turns into a smoke-filled haze (霾). That’s not weather — it’s a man-made “haze season”, caused by large-scale burning of vegetation to clear land. In Bali, the ocean coughs up tons of plastic every November through March. Locals and environmental groups call it “trash season”.
The study, published in Anthropocene Review, argues these aren’t one-offs. They’re new, repeatable, human-built blocks of time. And while we’re gaining a few additions to the calendar, we’re also losing seasons that used to underpin ecosystems and traditions. Breeding (繁殖) seasons for seabirds in northern England have collapsed. Alpine winters are getting so warm and unreliable that ski seasons are melting off the map.
The researchers coined some new terms for what’s happening. “Syncopated seasons” describe places where things are still technically on heat, just in weird (反常的) and unpredictable ways. Think: heat waves where there should be rain, or snowstorms in April. “Arrhythmic seasons” are even worse — no rhythm at all. Springs come too early. Summer won’t end. Winters barely exist.
And while governments have tried to patch (临时修补) things up with stopgap measures, like air filters during haze season, those fixes don’t touch the root problem. “By recognizing this new season,” the authors write, “societies might normalize the recurrence of haze and isolate anyone who demands the government and businesses deal with deforestation and burning.”
So basically, we’re not just messing with the air. We’re rewriting time. And unless we start listening to people who’ve been tracking nature’s rhythms for generations — like Indigenous (土著的) communities who measure time by stars, harvests and tides — we’re probably going to keep making things worse. There used to be four seasons. Now we have melting ones, burning ones, polluted ones, and plastic ones.
28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Examples of man-made new seasons.
B. Weather changes in Southeast Asia.
C. Plastic pollution in Bali ocean.

Your team uses AI to draft ad copy, create blog posts, design graphics, or even generate product ideas. But when that content performs well (or gets copied), one question keeps coming up: who actually owns it? It feels like it should be yours. But under current US law, it might not be.
According to the US Copyright (版权) Office, content that is entirely created by AI without human input is not qualified for copyright protection. This means if an AI tool creates an image or writes a full blog post with no editing or guidance from a human, no one owns it.
Then what counts as enough human input? Some AI tools let you guide the process, make changes to the results, or shape the final outcome. If a person plays a meaningful role in shaping the content by editing, combining, or making decisions, that work may be protected. But the line is still unclear. Submitting a prompt (提示词) isn’t enough. You’ll need to show that a human makes real creative choices and contributes something original beyond just giving instructions.
Even if the work cannot be copyrighted, you still need to think about who owns the work. If you’re using AI with the help of outside contractors (外包商), make sure your agreements clearly state that all rights to the work, including AI-assisted work, are yours. Without that, the person who operates AI might have a claim to the output.
Every AI platform has its own terms of use. Some say you own the output. Others say they can reuse or store it. Some platforms even restrict commercial use. If you’re building content into your product design, you need to know what your AI tool allows and whether your competitors could end up using the same content you pay for.
AI law is still being shaped. But businesses don’t have time to sit back and see how it unfolds. You need clear policies, well written contracts, and smart review systems in place now. Otherwise, you could be investing time and money into content that offers no legal protection and leaves your business exposed.
32. What qualifies AI-generated content for copyright protection?
A. Creative human involvement. B. AI’s outstanding performance.
C. Prompts provided by humans. D. The complicated generation process.
33. What does the author recommend readers do with AI platforms?
A. Run the AI tool on their own.
B. File a claim for the paid output.
C. Avoid the platform used by rivals.
D. Become familiar with the user agreement.
34. What does the author think of the current AI law?
A. It is immature. B. It is outdated. C. It is worthless. D. It is overprotective.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. What to Learn About AI Tools
B. Where Are AI Platforms Leading Us
C. How to Safeguard Your AI-Aided Work
D. Who Owns AI-Generated Content

The Amazingly Adapted Polar Bear
Animals have special adaptations that help them survive in their habitats. These remarkable traits (特点) — shaped by millions of years of evolution — turn tough environments into livable homes. 36
To stay warm, polar bears have two layers of fur. The hairs of the outer coat are hollow, increasing their insulating (绝缘) ability. They also have a thick, warm coat of fur underneath the outer coat. 37 Underneath this skin polar bears can put on a layer of fat for even more insulation. In fact, during the cold of winter this fat may be over 4 inches thick!
38 When living in a warm climate, they don’t put on the thick fat layer because extra insulation isn’t needed.
While polar bears do occasionally eat sea vegetation and berries, they prefer to hunt. 39 When on land they often camouflage (伪装) themselves by placing their paws over their black nose and mouth. Polar bears have the best vision of any bear and an excellent sense of smell. Fur and rough bumps on the soles (脚掌) of their wide, snowshoe-like feet provide traction on ice.
Polar bears are well adapted for swimming to floating ice in search of their favourite food — seals. They use their partially webbed front feet to paddle, while turning with their back feet. They have a more elongated (细长的) body and head than other bears. 40 In fact, this marine mammal can swim for 60 miles without stopping.
A. This shape helps them move through the water.
B. In the bear family, only the polar bear is white.
C. The Arctic is important because it is where polar bears live.
D. One of the most interesting is the polar bear of the Arctic.
E. Polar bears in warm-weather zoos can also adapt quite well.
F. Underneath their fur polar bears have black skin which helps absorb heat.
G. In fact, they are the best hunters of all bears.

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。
When my family moved to Ohio over the summer, I was scared to go to another new school. I had bright red hair that stood out a lot and big round glasses that kept sliding down my nose. Besides, I was overweight — my old jeans felt tight no matter how I pulled them — and I wasn’t good at talking to people, always freezing up when strangers said hello. I kept thinking “what if no one likes me?”, as I packed my backpack the night before.
Boarding the school bus that first day, my hands shook as I walked up the steps. I felt like everyone was looking at me, their eyes on my back, and I heard quiet whispers above the bus’s noise: “She’s so big — look at her hair!” I felt them whispering about me all the way. With my throat feeling tight, I pulled my shoulders in, staring at my worn shoes. I sat quietly the whole ride, counting seconds until we got to school and hoping no one would talk to me, even noticed me.
The next day was worse. I’d stayed up late trying to practise smiling nicely, but I was too nervous. I didn’t notice a few boys in the back stretching a shoelace across the aisle (通道), as I was in a hurry to sit down. “Watch out!” one boy shouted to his friend. I tripped and fell face-first on the bus floor with a loud thud. As I picked up my scattered (散落的) notebooks and pencil case, red-faced and embarrassed, I heard loud laughs: “That was like an earthquake!” I felt tears in my eyes but bit my lip to hold them back — I didn’t want them to see me cry. I finally found a seat in the very back, far from everyone, and stared out the window at the trees going by. After that, I kept to myself. I started walking everywhere to avoid the bus.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As time went by, I fell in love with walking.
One new friend who also had trouble with her weight lived near me.
