On Aug 23, he took part in the Asian Youth Championships (冠军) in Guiyang. Everyone thought he would win the first place easily, because he was already a top player in this sport. Zhao had three gold medals (奖牌) from world youth games. Earlier this year, before he turned 16, he finished a climb in just 4.65 seconds and broke the world record. Before this competition, he trained harder than ever. He wanted to win gold and chase (追逐) a new record, not just beat others. But in the final round, he made a small mistake. His dream of winning gold was broken, and he had to take the silver medal. Later, he said, “Sport is more than winning. It’s about staying strong, no matter if you win or lose. I’m not always the best. This loss (失利) tells me I still have a lot to learn and need to work harder.” His words teach us that true growth comes from both wins and losses. 根据短文内容判断正误。正确的选A，错误的选B。 ( ) 46.

(C) As AI makes life easier than ever, students in Shenzhen asked a simple but deep question: What is the true value of being human? Yu Yaxuan, a Chinese teacher at a school in Shenzhen, collected answers from 54 students. She asked them: “If you had to choose one Chinese character to prove (证明) you’re not AI, what would it be?” The answers surprised her, and a video of the activity soon went viral online which is known by people. Two students give different answers: one is “hurry (匆忙的)” and the other is “slow”. The student who chose “hurry” thinks AI works fast and always keeps calm without feelings. However, humans are full of emotions. We may feel anxious (焦虑的) and worried easily, so we often live in a rush. Humans are influenced by feelings, not the cold rules that AI follows. Another student, Wu, chose “slow.” She said, “AI always runs fast and only goes for right answers, but humans know how to stop and enjoy life with the people we love. She hopes life can be simple and slow, and we can cherish(珍惜) small warm moments in life.” Other students chose words like “doubt,” “courage,” “love,” and “hurt.” Yu said, “What truly moves (让…感动) people is not just facts, but the soft lights of humanity (人性光芒) that technology can never replace.” 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 ( ) 51. The underlined word viral in Paragraph 2 means ________. A. become very popular B. become very joyful C. become very proud ( ) 52. What do many students choose to show they are not AI? A. Some simple Chinese characters B. Many interesting pictures C. Different kinds of videos ( ) 53. What can we know about the student named Wu? A. She enjoys slow and warm life moments. B. She thinks AI can enjoy life with people. C. She hopes life can be fast and simple. ( ) 54. Which sentence is TRUE according to the last paragraph? A. Technology can take the place of humanity. B. Human feelings can not be replaced by AI. C. All students choose the same word. ( ) 55. What is the passage mainly about? A. The fast development of AI B. How to live a slow happy life C. Students’ ideas about being human (D) Planning Our Trip Smartly What are the travel trends (趋势) in 2026? Let’s have a look. Quiet Is Everything A top travel trend this year is “quietcations”. 56 In the busy digital (数码的) world full of real-time news, people need a break. This trend is popular around the world. Sweden has a map of quiet places, and the Sky Cave in Oregon (俄勒冈州) offers three-day stays in dark cabins (小木屋).   57 AI will be widely used for travel in 2026. 58 Some travel apps like Booking are adding tools like ChatGPT to help with holiday planning. Real-time translation (翻译) and mobile check-ins (入住) also cut down a lot of travel work. But AI brings problems too. Algorithms (计算机算法) can make too many people visit the same places, and it may lead to more travel scams (诈骗). So we need to use these tools wisely. Trust Instead Of Choice Tired of making decisions while traveling? We’re not alone! 59 Someone else plans everything, and we just enjoy the surprise. One example is mystery cruises (海上航游“盲盒”). 60 These 2026 travel trends let us relax, save time, and enjoy new experiences in a smart way. 根据短文内容，将下面方框内的句子还原到文中空白处，使短文内容完整，通顺。（每个选项只能用一次） A. It’s all about comfort, peace, and running away from modern stress. B. Now, more and more people are choosing “no-choice” trips. C. People get on the ship without knowing the trip plan. D.

Though he faced many hard times and tragedies (悲剧), he never stopped looking for new adventures (冒险). Hemingway’s writing style is simple but powerful. He created the “iceberg theory” (冰山理论), which means hiding deep meanings under the surface of his stories, just like most of an iceberg is under water. For example, he wrote a complete story in only six words: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” It tells the sad story of losing a child and the parents’ grief (悲痛). Even after his death, his works still influence many writers and readers today. 71.

It makes us feel less stressed or anxious (焦虑的). Our brain will release (释放) chemicals that make us feel calm and happy. We are 30 times more likely to laugh when we are with others, because laughter is a way to show we are friendly. Even in laughing groups, people’s forced laughs soon become real.
