We need better stories for Thursday’s school newspaper.” I handed her my article about our basketball team beating (打败) Deerfield High School by one point. “ 11  stories are fun,” she said, “but we need something bigger to get people’s attention.” At that time, someone shouted suddenly, “Perry is 12 !” Perry was a big red parrot, as our school mascot (吉祥物) for ten years. Everyone loved him. A photo was handed in — a Deerfield player had something hidden under his shirt, about the size of a 13 . “He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning!” Ashley cried.

Each year, the organization publishes books and calendars featuring the top photos, and 10% of the money made from the competition is donated to a conservation charity (保护慈善机构). Here are some other fun photos from this year. The top prize went to a photograph of a dancing gorilla (大猩猩) named “High Five”, taken by Mark Meth Cohn from the UK. Mark recalled, “We spent four unforgettable days searching for gorilla families in Virunga Mountains. One day, we came across a large family group in a forest. The adults were looking for food while the young ones were playing. One young male was happily showing off by spinning, rolling and doing highkicks. It was a joy to watch him, and I was excited to have taken his playful spirit in this photo.” Paula Rustemeier from Germany won an award for her picture of playful foxes. She took it in a nature park where the foxes feel safe and can be seen during the day. Paula got very close to them! She said, “If you put in the time, you’ll find that the foxes usually get curious or see you as something natural, not dangerous.” Alison Tuck of the UK was highly praised for her picture of a gannet (塘鹅), which is a type of seabird. The bird is shown on a windy day with its face full of grass that it was trying to collect for its nest! Alison named her photograph “Now which direction is my nest?” 23.

D. The gannet is flying in the wrong direction with grass in its mouth. 25. What do the three photos mentioned in the passage have in common? A.

B I’ve always loved the idea of being a “garden person”, the kind who sits among beautiful flowers, drinks coffee at sunrise and enjoys slow dinners at sunset. My parents are garden people, and I’ve tried to follow their lead. When I first moved into my home 12 years ago, I planted marigolds (金盏花) and tomatoes in the garden. I watered and weeded (除杂草). I bought a nice garden chair. I did all the things I’d hoped to do, but after a few times, I felt bored. Here I was, lucky enough to have a bit of garden in the city, and I couldn’t sit and enjoy it. The seasons went by, and I didn’t even sit in the garden. Instead, I watched TV, avoiding the bugs and cobwebs (蜘蛛网) outdoors. But I couldn’t shake off the guilt, and I still wanted to be a garden person. So last summer, I brought back my garden chair, swept away the leaves, watered the plants and cut back the grapevine and blackberry bush. And, on one very hot day, I thought, “Yes, now I will sit.” So, I sat. And I was shocked. For the first time, I found a sense of peace among the greenery and sounds of the outdoors. This seemed to reset my mind in a way that the indoors did not. Inside, I might feel like something is wrong and I can’t relax. Outside, I sat, I listened and I breathed without anything troubling me. And some of my stress went away, though not all of it. I read. I watched the slow growing of grapes and blackberries and apples. I sat in silence — silence, except for the soft sound of a passing airplane and the rustle (沙沙声) of leaves as the wind blew through them. And I thought to myself, “This garden is growing on me.” 26. What does the writer mean by “I couldn’t shake off the guilt” in paragraph 3? A. She felt sorry for not taking care of her garden. B. She was afraid of the bugs and cobwebs outside. C. She regretted buying the garden chair. D. She felt guilty for watching TV too much. 27. Why did the writer feel shocked after sitting in the garden? A. Because she found the garden was full of bugs. B. Because she saw the fruits growing faster than before. C. Because she thought the garden was too quiet to stay in. D. Because she realized being outside felt different from being inside. 28. What does the sentence “This garden is growing on me” suggest about the writer? A. She believes the garden needs more care. B. She realizes the garden is too much work for her. C. She is starting to enjoy being in the garden more and more. D. She thinks the plants in the garden are growing well. C It was then that the fox (狐狸) appeared. “Good morning,” said the fox. “Good morning,” replied the little prince politely, “Who are you? You are so pretty.” “I am a fox,” said the fox. “Come and play with me,” said the little prince. “I am so unhappy.” “I cannot play with you,” said the fox. “I am not tamed.” After thinking it over, he asked, “Excuse me, what does ‘tame’ mean?” The fox sighed softly. “It means to establish ties.” “To establish ties?” “Just that,” said the fox. He stood up and walked a few steps closer. “Listen carefully. To me, you are only a little boy, just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. We mean nothing to each other.” He stopped and looked straight into the little prince’s eyes. “But if you tame me, then everything changes. We shall need each other. To me, you will be unique (独一无二的) in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.” The fox sat down again and wrapped (裹) his tail around his paws. “Do you see that wheat field over there? I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. But your hair is the color of gold. When you tame me, the golden wheat will remind me of you. And I shall love the sound of the wind in the wheat.” The little prince listened quietly. He thought of his rose on his tiny planet. Slowly, a soft smile came to his face. “I am beginning to understand,” he said. “There is a flower… I think she has tamed me.” The fox nodded gently. “Then you already know what it means to care for someone.” 29. What does the underlined word “establish” probably mean? A. break apart B. build or create C. look for D. write down 30. What does the fox mean by saying “We shall need each other” after being tamed? A. The fox will follow the little prince everywhere. B. They will forget about everyone else in the world. C. They will become special and important to each other. D. The little prince will have to feed the fox every day. 31. Why does the fox mention the wheat field? A. Because he wants the little prince to understand that wheat is useless to him. B. Because he hopes the little prince will buy him some bread with golden wheat. C. Because he thinks the little prince’s hair is the same color as the wheat field at sunset. D. Because he wants to show that small things can become meaningful through a special connection. 32. What does the little prince mean by saying “There is a flower… I think she has tamed me.”? A. The flower has made him stay on his planet and never leave. B. The flower has taught him how to play and be happy again. C. He has developed a deep and special relationship with the flower. D. He now understands that flowers are more important than foxes. D Suppose you walk up to the door and meet a robot guard called “Humanity (人性).” It narrows its camera eyes and says, “Prove you’re not AI. One word.” You might try something big like “photosynthesis (光合作用),” but honestly, the best answer is much smaller: Um. Not a loud “UM” that you’re shouting to your mum from another room. Just a soft, shaking “um” — the sound you make when you forget what you were saying. “Um” happens when your thoughts arrive late. Linguists (语言学家) call it a “filled pause (填声停顿).” It’s how humans plan what to say and correct themselves. That’s why “um” is the perfect human password. Humans don’t run smoothly. Unlike a machine, we often pause — and that pause is often mixed with feelings. Sometimes “um” is funny. Sometimes it’s heavier. “Um” shows up when you’re nervous, shy, or trying to say something that matters. It can also be the sound of fear in your voice, or the sound of kindness not to hurt someone. That’s the real difference. Humans are not perfect, but that’s what makes us beautiful. We feel joy, guilt, love, hope — sometimes all before breakfast. We care, even when it’s not simple. We love people, though they make us angry. We get things wrong, and then try again. We say sorry, even when it’s hard. And under all that mess is something real: a clumsy (笨拙的) but strong love for others. It’s not perfect. It’s not always smart. But it’s deeply and truly human. Could a computer make the sound “um”? Sure. Any machine can. But could it feel the heat on your face when you get shy? Could it feel the hard courage of saying “I’m sorry”? Could it feel the warm worry of caring too much? Um… probably not. 33. What does the robot guard ask people to do? A. Give some human knowledge. B. Prove they are not AI. C. Tell a funny story. D. Show their ID card. 34. Why does the writer think “um” is a good answer? A. Because robots cannot say it. B. Because it is a big word with kinds of meanings. C. Because it sounds funny to laugh. D. Because it shows humans are not perfect. 35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. People only use “um” when they are nervous. B. Humans and machines both run smoothly in conversation. C. The writer believes humans should try to be more like machines. D. A computer might say “um” but it cannot feel the feeling behind it. 36. What does the writer want to show by asking questions in the last paragraph? A. Computers are better at expressing feelings than humans. B. Saying “um” is a skill that takes a robot years to learn. C. Humans have feelings that machines cannot truly experience. D. It is impossible for humans to care too much about others. 四、还原信息（共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Keeping a diary works as a powerful tool in daily life.

But behind the success lay 20 years of pain, laughter, and a dream that refused to die. At 15, his family was broken and his school life ended. With oily hands and a broken heart, he worked in a tiny motorcycle repair shop. Other kids sat in classrooms; he worked with machines. But every night, he whispered to himself: “One day, I will build my own motorcycle and stand on the world stage.” At 19, he did something crazy. A TV team was working in his area. Zhang wanted to be on TV so that a racing team might notice him. He rode his old, broken motorcycle for over 100 kilometers in the cold rain just to follow the TV team. He asked them to film him. At first, they said no, but his burning heart moved them finally. That short TV show did open a door for him. A racing team saw him and his dream journey began. However, success did not come as he expected. He failed. Again. And again. Rivals (竞争对手) laughed, “A school dropout making world-class motorcycles?” In 2013, he moved to Chongqing with only 20,000 yuan, working day and night. He was always pushing his team to the limit over every tiny detail — one gram of weight, one millimeter of balance. “Ten years of failure? I don’t care. I will keep going.” he once said, “Deep down, I simply love motorcycles.” And he meant it. Then came 2026. His ZXMOTO crossed the finish line first. The poor boy, now a middle-aged man, stood at the top of the world. After the victory, Zhang wrote: “It’s not about winning a prize. It’s about loving the ride.

I have always dreamed of playing cool songs in front of my friends. So I chose playing the guitar. But when I started, I found it was not easy at all. My fingers got hurt. The sounds I made were terrible. I wanted to give up many times. But my mom encouraged me to practice ten minutes every day. So I kept going. Slowly, my fingers grew stronger. I learned my first complete song — it took me three weeks. When I finally played it without a mistake, I felt so proud. Playing the guitar taught me something important — talent is not magic; it comes from hard work. Every mistake is just a step toward getting better. Everyone has a hobby, and my hobby is like a close friend who is always with me and gives me a lot. I have always loved reading. Every night before bed, I pick up a book and read for a while. But last term, I tried to read an English novel called The Little Prince. At first, I found it very difficult. There were many new words, and I could not understand the sentences well. I felt discouraged and wanted to put the book down. But my mom told me, “Just read a little every day, and use a dictionary when necessary.” So I kept going. Slowly, the story became clearer. When I finally finished the whole book after one month, I felt so proud of myself. Reading taught me something important — patience and small efforts can lead to big rewards. Every difficult page is just a step toward a new world. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
