I’m sure you’ve all noticed the snowstorm has worsened since we arrived here at 8 a.m. The school staff and I apologize for not realizing how severe this storm would be. We were told there would be 5 cm of snow, but we now have doubled that amount and it’s expected to reach over 20 cm by 3 p.m. So what does this mean? This means we have ended class just now at 11 a.m. Lunch will still be served in the cafeteria. You may have it now. For senior students who have driven to school, you may drive home, but please be careful. For everyone else, the school buses are coming at noon. You are advised to wait in the cafeteria until then. But please, for everyone in the school, call your parents to tell them your plans. It’s quite dangerous out there right now, and by this evening we are likely to have almost a meter of snow on the ground. Next, stay tuned for an announcement from our school bus driver Jamie Johnson. He will share more details about bus schedules and safety advice. Thanks, everyone, and please stay safe.
第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节, 满分 50 分)
第一节 (共 15 小题, 每小题 2.5 分, 满分 37.5 分)
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C 和 D)中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
While ball games and chess dominate the spotlight, some unusual sports remain off the radar but they’re just as thrilling! These activities not only lift your spirits but also bring back the true essence of sports: FUN! Here are four fascinating examples:
Quidditch
Inspired by J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, this magical game is now a real international sport. Each team has seven players, and every player must keep a broom between their legs from start to finish. Combining elements of rugby and dodgeball, it’s called “Muggle Quidditch” since non-magical folks play it without magic.
Yubi Lakpi
This traditional Indian game resembles football, but with a twist — players use a coconut instead of a ball. Two teams compete to carry the coconut into the opponent’s goal area. To make the game more challenging, players apply oil to their bodies, making them slippery and hard to grab. Tough enough? Give it a try!
Zorbing
Imagine rolling downhill inside a giant plastic ball. That’s zorbing! It first originated in New Zealand in the 1990s and has grown into a popular outdoor adventure activity around the world. Usually done on gentle slopes or flat ground, it’s more about the joy of rolling than competition. Perfect for a fun day out with friends!
Toe Wrestling
Yes, it’s real and it even has a World Championship! Similar to arm wrestling, opponents try to pin each other’s toes down for three seconds. Matches alternate between left and right feet, with the best of three rounds deciding the winner. So kick off your shoes and socks. It’s toe-wrestling time!
21. What must Quidditch players do throughout the game?
A. Control the team with magic.
B. Pass a rugby ball to other folks.
C. Hold a broom between their legs.
D. Obey rules from the Harry Potter series.
22. How do players make it difficult for the opposing team in Yubi Lakpi?
A. By wetting the fields.
B. By oiling themselves.
C. By polishing the coconuts.
D. By blocking the opponents.
23. What do Zorbing and Toe Wrestling have in common?
A. Both take place on gentle slopes.
B. Both involve close-body contact.
C. Both qualify as championship events.
D. Both feature fun-oriented recreation.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. D
【解析】

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Each team has seven players, and every player must keep a broom between their legs from start to finish. (每队有七名球员,每名球员必须自始至终在两腿之间夹着一把扫帚。)”可知,魁地奇运动员在整个比赛过程中必须保持两腿之间夹着一把扫帚。故选C项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To make the game more challenging, players apply oil to their bodies, making them slippery and hard to grab. (为了使比赛更具挑战性,球员们在身上涂油,使自己滑溜溜的,难以抓住。)”可知,在尤比拉克皮比赛中,球员们通过在自己身上涂油来让对方难以抓住自己,从而给对方制造困难。故选B项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“It first originated in New Zealand in the 1990s and has grown into a popular outdoor adventure activity around the world. Usually done on gentle slopes or flat ground, it’s more about the joy of rolling than competition. Perfect for a fun day out with friends! (它起源于20世纪90年代的新西兰,现已成为世界各地流行的户外冒险活动。通常在缓坡或平地上进行,它更多的是关于滚动的乐趣,而不是竞争。非常适合和朋友一起出去玩乐的一天!)”以及第五段“Yes, it’s real and it even has a World Championship! Similar to arm wrestling, opponents try to pin each other’s toes down for three seconds. Matches alternate between left and right feet, with the best of three rounds deciding the winner. So kick off your shoes and socks. It’s toe-wrestling time! (是的,这是真的,它甚至还有世界锦标赛!类似于掰手腕,对手试图将对方的脚趾压下三秒钟。比赛在左右脚之间交替进行,三局两胜制决定胜负。所以,脱掉你的鞋子和袜子。脚趾摔跤时间到!)”可知,滚球和脚趾摔跤都强调乐趣,是以娱乐为导向的休闲活动。故选D项。
B
Last summer, I made a rather unconventional decision to run a small bookstore in the bustling food market of my neighborhood. My friends cast doubt on the plan, for the market was crowded with noisy vendors (小贩) and filled with pungent food smells. Their concerns proved well-founded on its opening day. Sandwiched between a pork stall and a tofu shop, my bookstore attracted barely any attention. With few customers stepping in, I felt disheartened and began to reflect on what went wrong. Never had I anticipated such a frigid beginning.
It didn’t take me long to figure out where the problem lay. I had stocked my shelves with classic novels and poetry I cherished, yet they failed to meet the needs of local residents. I therefore resolved to make a thorough change. In place of those books, I displayed home-style cookbooks, stories about street food, and food-related picture books for children. I sincerely hoped these new books would win over the locals. I also launched a “Book-for-Veggie Exchange” activity in the store.
The new adjustment turned out to be highly successful. Local people soon took to this creative idea. A young mother came first with a carrot to exchange for a picture book, and before long, my counter was overflowing with fresh vegetables. The tofu vendor’s daughter, who had watched silently for weeks on end, finally stepped forward to borrow a comic. Months later, the bookstore became a warm part of market life, with the scent of books blending gently with the fresh aroma of farm produce.
This experience reshaped my understanding of books. I once believed books could only shine in quiet places, but now I have seen their real value. It lies in connecting with people’s everyday life: books can blend perfectly into daily routines and warm our hearts. They become meaningful and touching when combined with the hustle and bustle, food and laughter of everyday life.
24. What problem did the author face last summer?
A. Doubt among close friends.
B. Strong food smells in the market.
C. Low store traffic in the bookstore.
D. Disturbance from nearby vendors.
25. How did the author attract customers to the bookstore?
A. By selling local vegetables.
B. By offering reader-specific books.
C. By stocking favorite classics.
D. By organizing book-swap activities.
26. What can we learn about the bookstore in paragraph 3?
A. It aimed at a profitable trade in farm produce.
B. It funded the young children in the community.
C. It reflected a harmonious integration into market life.
D. It served as a popular gathering spot in the neighborhood.
27. What has the author learned from opening the bookstore?
A. Better late than never.
B. Books are for life, not for shelves.
C. Think outside the box.
D. Reading connects soul to daily life.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者去年夏天在热闹的食品市场开了一家小书店,起初因书籍选择不当导致顾客稀少,后来通过调整书籍种类和开展“蔬菜换书”活动,成功吸引了当地居民,使书店成为市场生活的一部分,并从中领悟到书籍与日常生活紧密相连的真正价值。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Sandwiched between a pork stall and a tofu shop, my bookstore attracted barely any attention. With few customers stepping in, I felt disheartened and began to reflect on what went wrong. (我的书店夹在一个猪肉摊和一个豆腐店之间,几乎没有引起任何注意。很少有顾客光顾,我感到很沮丧,开始反思哪里出了问题。)”可知,作者面临的问题是书店顾客稀少,即客流量低。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I had stocked my shelves with classic novels and poetry I cherished, yet they failed to meet the needs of local residents. I therefore resolved to make a thorough change. In place of those books, I displayed home-style cookbooks, stories about street food, and food-related picture books for children. (我在书架上摆满了我珍视的经典小说和诗歌,但它们未能满足当地居民的需求。因此,我决定彻底改变。我展示了家常菜谱、街头美食故事以及与食物相关的儿童图画书,以取代那些书。)”可知,作者通过提供符合当地居民需求的特定书籍来吸引顾客。故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Months later, the bookstore became a warm part of market life, with the scent of books blending gently with the fresh aroma of farm produce. (几个月后,书店成为了市场生活中温暖的一部分,书香与农产品的清新香气轻轻交融。)”可知,书店与市场生活和谐融合,成为市场的一部分。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I once believed books could only shine in quiet places, but now I have seen their real value. It lies in connecting with people’s everyday life: books can blend perfectly into daily routines and warm our hearts. (我曾经认为书籍只能在安静的地方发光,但现在我看到了它们的真正价值。它在于与人们的日常生活相联系:书籍可以完美地融入日常生活,温暖我们的心。)”可知,作者从开书店的经历中学到了书籍不仅仅是为了放在书架上,而是为了融入生活,与人们的日常生活紧密相连。故选B项。
C
In 1993, more than 700 people were sickened (and four died) after eating at a fast-food restaurant chain. It took investigators 39 days to determine that the illnesses were connected and more than a month to find the thing that was making people sick: hamburgers contaminated (污染) with E. coli.
Food safety experts and other scientists knew there had to be a faster way to detect and link outbreaks. They determined that if public health laboratories could each conduct the same kind of DNA analysis on bacteria and then share the data, dots could be connected and outbreaks could be identified sooner.
And so, PulseNet was born. Launched in 1996, PulseNet, developed in partnership with APHL, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), other federal partners and four state public health labs, is a national laboratory network that analyzes a pathogen’s (病原体) unique DNA fingerprint. The resulting data are published to a national database. Microbiologists and epidemiologists from around the country can access the database and determine if there are similarities that indicate cases are related and even share a common source of infection.
PulseNet enables investigators to identify eight illness-causing pathogens and discover outbreak clusters (组) in near real-time. Investigations that used to take weeks, for example, can now take only days. That quick turnaround time is essential to saving lives.
CDC reports that in the 30 years since PulseNet has been in action, over 1 billion pounds of contaminated food have been recalled and an estimated 270,000 foodborne illnesses associated with three common illness-causing bacteria — Salmonella, E. coli and Listeria — have been prevented. By developing new technologies such as PulseNet 2.0, the newly launched data analysis platform, PulseNet continues to enhance its ability to detect and prevent additional illnesses.
In celebration of PulseNet’s milestone birthday, we rounded up stories illustrating the enormous impact the network has had on disease monitoring and outbreak detection. Read on to learn how each one emphasizes PulseNet’s vital contribution to human, animal and environmental health.
28. What does the author want to show by telling the fast-food chain outbreak?
A. Food safety was a top priority. B. Illness detection was inefficient.
C. Fast food required stricter regulation. D. Public health was a challenging issue.
29. What can PulseNet do?
A. Identify rare bacteria. B. Cure certain diseases.
C. Collect patients’ fingerprints. D. Conduct DNA analysis on bacteria.
30. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about concerning PulseNet?
A. Its features. B. Its contributions. C. Its future plans. D. Its working principles.
31. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To explain the birth of PulseNet. B. To introduce a laboratory network.
C. To collect stories for an anniversary. D. To show the progress of food safety tools.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. B 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了PulseNet这一全国性实验室网络的诞生、功能及其对疾病监测和疫情预防的巨大贡献。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In 1993, more than 700 people were sickened (and four died) after eating at a fast-food restaurant chain. It took investigators 39 days to determine that the illnesses were connected and more than a month to find the thing that was making people sick: hamburgers contaminated (污染) with E. coli.(1993年,超过700人在一家连锁快餐店就餐后出现中毒症状(其中4人死亡)。调查人员耗时39天才确认这些病例互相关联,又花了一个多月才找到致病元凶:被大肠杆菌污染的汉堡。)”可知,作者通过讲述快餐连锁店爆发疫情的事件,想要表明疾病检测效率低下。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第三段中“Launched in 1996, PulseNet, developed in partnership with APHL, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), other federal partners and four state public health labs, is a national laboratory network that analyzes a pathogen’s (病原体) unique DNA fingerprint.(PulseNet于1996年推出,是与美国公共卫生实验室协会(APHL)、美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)、其他联邦合作伙伴和四个州公共卫生实验室合作开发的,是一个全国性的实验室网络,用于分析病原体的独特DNA指纹。)”可知,PulseNet能对细菌进行DNA分析。故选D。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。 根据第五段中“CDC reports that in the 30 years since PulseNet has been in action, over 1 billion pounds of contaminated food have been recalled and an estimated 270,000 foodborne illnesses associated with three common illness-causing bacteria — Salmonella, E. coli and Listeria — have been prevented.(美国疾病控制与预防中心报告称,在PulseNet投入使用的30年里,超过10亿磅受污染的食品被召回,估计有27万例与三种常见致病菌——沙门氏菌、大肠杆菌和李斯特菌——相关的食源性疾病得到了预防。)”可知,第五段主要讲了PulseNet的贡献。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。 通读全文,尤其是根据第三段中“Launched in 1996, PulseNet, developed in partnership with APHL, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), other federal partners and four state public health labs, is a national laboratory network that analyzes a pathogen’s (病原体) unique DNA fingerprint.(PulseNet于1996年推出,是与美国公共卫生实验室协会(APHL)、美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)、其他联邦合作伙伴和四个州公共卫生实验室合作开发的,是一个全国性的实验室网络,用于分析病原体的独特DNA指纹。)”以及后文对PulseNet的介绍可知,这篇文章的目的是介绍一个实验室网络。故选B。
D
Inspiration for Zeynep Demirbas’ research struck during a chat with a friend. That friend, a psychologist, said some health insurance companies were pushing the use of artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, for mental health. The idea: AI might be less costly and easier to access than human therapists (治疗专家).
That worried Zeynep, 14. She knew that ChatGPT often gave wrong answers or agreed with incorrect statements. Could this type of AI, known as a large language model — or LLM — really be trusted with our mental health?
To find out, she tested whether several LLMs could detect stress in human text. She gave the models a dataset of more than 3,500 posts. Human raters had been asked to label each one as containing stress or not. Then Zeynep asked the models to identify which posts showed stress.
To judge how well the models did, Zeynep calculated something called an F1-score for each one. This score considers how many stress-containing posts the models accurately spotted. It also accounts for how often the models missed cases of stress and how often they mislabeled posts as showing stress. An LLM specifically designed for mental health did the best. It scored about 82 percent. ChatGPT scored only about 74 percent.
ChatGPT performing badly was “really surprising”, Zeynep says. It did even worse than the “random-forest” model, which is “supposed to be a very simple and old technique. So I just put it in as a baseline,” Zeynep says. “That was very interesting — how something so small and simple was able to beat an LLM like ChatGPT that used millions of parameters (参数) and had so much coding go into it.”
“We should be mindful with AI,” Zeynep says. “That doesn’t mean that LLMs are bad, because they’re for general use. They’re not necessarily meant for mental health.” Her data led her to conclude that LLMs should not be replacing human therapists. Instead, these models might help identify people who are struggling and refer them to a mental health professional.
32. What worried Zeynep when chatting with a friend?
A. AI is applied to mental health. B. Human therapists charge high fees.
C. AI is developing at an alarming rate. D. Health insurance companies face challenges.
33. Why were the human raters asked to label the posts?
A. To assess the reliability of the posts.
B. To figure out the F1-scores of different LLMs.
C. To provide a reference standard for LLM testing.
D. To assess human raters’ accuracy in detecting stress.
34. Why does Zeynep mention the random-forest model?
A. To erase doubts about old models.
B. To compare simple and complex models.
C. To illustrate the urgent need for more parameters.
D. To show the poor performance of LLMs in the test.
35. What does Zeynep mean in the last paragraph?
A. LLMs are generally useless in most fields.
B. Humans are responsible for improving AI.
C. LLMs need more training in identifying mental struggles.
D. Humans still play a dominant role in addressing mental issues.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是14岁的Zeynep Demirbas针对大型语言模型(LLMs)在心理健康领域应用展开的研究。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“That friend, a psychologist, said some health insurance companies were pushing the use of artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, for mental health. The idea: AI might be less costly and easier to access than human therapists (治疗专家).(这位朋友是位心理学家,他说一些健康保险公司正在推广使用人工智能技术,比如 ChatGPT,来辅助心理健康治疗。其想法是:与人类治疗师相比,人工智能可能成本更低、更容易获取。)”和第二段“That worried Zeynep, 14.(这让 14 岁的Zeynep感到担忧。)”可知,Zeynep在与朋友聊天时担心的是人工智能被应用于心理健康领域。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Human raters had been asked to label each one as containing stress or not. Then Zeynep asked the models to identify which posts showed stress.(此前,人类评估者已被要求给每条帖子标注是否包含压力。然后,Zeynep让这些模型识别哪些帖子显示出压力。)”可知,Zeynep给模型提供包含3500多个帖子的数据集,让人类评估者标记每个帖子是否包含压力,然后让模型识别哪些帖子显示压力,因此人类评估者的标记是为模型测试提供了参考标准,故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“It did even worse than the “random-forest” model, which is “supposed to be a very simple and old technique. So I just put it in as a baseline,” Zeynep says. “That was very interesting — how something so small and simple was able to beat an LLM like ChatGPT that used millions of parameters (参数) and had so much coding go into it.”(它的表现甚至还不如“随机森林”模型,“随机森林模型本应是一种非常简单且古老的技术,所以我只是把它作为基准”,Zeynep说,“这非常有趣——一个如此小巧简单的模型,居然能够击败像ChatGPT这种使用了数百万个参数、投入了大量代码编写的大型语言模型。”)”可知,Zeynep提及随机森林模型是为了展示大型语言模型在测试中的表现不佳。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Her data led her to conclude that LLMs should not be replacing human therapists.

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。请将答案写在答题卷上。
Hanfu is a traditional robe(长袍) of the Han people, which has a history of thousands of years in China. The number of people adopting the ancient style of dress in modern times has. grown significantly these days. The hanfu clothing industry is now worth one billion yuan(US$140.7 million). ___36___ However, it may be too early to call it a “revival”(复兴).
___37___ And it sounds impressive that about 2.2 million people in China wear hanfu. But considering that the clothing retail(零售) industry was worth 1.92 trillion yuan in 2017, one billion yuan is a small number. Similarly, 2.2 million seems a small number considering that China’s population is more than 1.3 billion.
Having played a major role in China’s clothing history, hanfu remained popular until the late 1600s. ___38___ After pursuing Western fashion, it’s natural that Chinese people are returning to traditional clothing in search of their cultural identity.
But what is the obstacle of hanfu’s revival, despite people’s love for it? ___39___ The hanfu trend appeared five years ago, so the industry is quite young. And many tailors are still learning how best to make hanfu from historical TV dramas and so on. But most of these historical dramas are fictional, as are many of the clothes the characters wear.
Short-video and live-streaming apps are the other sources that promote the hanfu culture. But most of these live streamers have their own shops. ___40___ To fulfill their selfish interests, those behind the short videos and live-streaming blame one another instead of working together to revive the hanfu culture.
If these live-streamers really want to develop the hanfu culture, they should change their attitude and work together for the betterment of the hanfu industry.
A. One billion yuan is a huge figure.
B. The lack of a standard seems to be the main problem.
C. The popularity of hanfu reflects the diversity of Chinese culture.
D. This means they promote hanfu culture to increase their own profits.
E. Even the traditional Korean and Japanese costumes originated from it.
F. This has prompted many to say it symbolizes the revival of Han or hanfu culture.
G. It is natural for Chinese people to show their love for traditional culture by wearing hanfu.
【答案】36. F 37. A 38. E 39. B 40. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今中国的汉服文化很流行,汉服产业现在价值10亿元。指出汉服在中国服装史上扮演了重要角色,以及如今汉服复兴所遇到的一些障碍。
【36题详解】
根据上文The hanfu clothing industry is now worth one billion yuan(US$140.7 million).可知汉服产业现在价值10亿元(1.407亿美元)。以及后文However, it may be too early to call it a “revival”(复兴).可知然而,现在称其为“复兴”可能还为时过早。由此可知,汉服产业的价值巨大促使许多人说这象征着汉服文化的复兴,后文则指出现在说“复兴”为之过早。后文中revival可对应到F选项中revival。故F选项“这促使许多人说它象征着汉服文化的复兴”符合语境,故选F。
【37题详解】
根据后文And it sounds impressive that about 2.2 million people in China wear hanfu. But considering that the clothing retail(零售) industry was worth 1.92 trillion yuan in 2017, one billion yuan is a small number. Similarly, 2.2 million seems a small number considering that China’s population is more than 1.3 billion.可知中国大约有220万人穿汉服,这听起来让人印象深刻。但考虑到2017年服装零售行业价值1.92万亿元,10亿元只是一个小数目。同样,考虑到中国的人口超过13亿,220万似乎是个小数目。由此可知,第一段中提到的汉服产业现在价值10亿元是一个巨大的数字,但是考虑到2017年服装零售行业价值1.92万亿元,10亿元只是一个小数目。故A选项“10亿元是一个巨大的数字”符合语境,故选A。
【38题详解】
根据上文Having played a major role in China’s clothing history, hanfu remained popular until the late 1600s.可知汉服在中国服装史上扮演了重要角色,直到17世纪末期汉服仍然很流行。由此可知,本句是在说明汉服在中国服装历史中扮演的重要角色,以及对其他国家传统服饰的影响,甚至连韩国和日本的传统服饰都起源于汉服。故E选项“甚至连韩国和日本的传统服饰都起源于此”符合语境,故选E。
【39题详解】
根据后文The hanfu trend appeared five years ago, so the industry is quite young. And many tailors are still learning how best to make hanfu from historical TV dramas and so on. But most of these historical dramas are fictional, as are many of the clothes the characters wear.可知汉服流行于五年前,所以这个行业还很年轻。许多裁缝还在学习如何从历史电视剧中制作汉服等等。但大多数历史剧都是虚构的,剧中人物的许多服装也是虚构的。由此可知,汉服行业很年轻,缺乏汉服制作标准。故B选项“缺乏标准似乎是主要问题”符合语境,故选B。
【40题详解】
根据后文To fulfill their selfish interests, those behind the short videos and live-streaming blame one another instead of working together to revive the hanfu culture.可知为了私利,这些短片和直播背后的人互相指责,而不是一起努力复兴汉服文化。由此可知,有自己汉服店铺的直播主播只是为了增加自己的利润,并不是在努力复兴汉服文化。故D选项“这意味着他们通过推广汉服文化来增加自己的利润”符合语境,故选D。

67. 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。
Grandma lived alone in the old house ever since her children moved away for work and life. Years passed, and the house seemed quieter and quieter. To fill her days, she carefully decorated a memory wall in the living room, covered with old photos, handwritten letters, children’s drawings, and small souvenirs from every family gathering. She also kept a precious old photo album, filled with faded pictures from her youth, her children’s childhood, and every happy moment the family had shared. For Grandma, these things were not just objects — they were her whole world.
One weekend, her children and grandchildren decided to give her a big surprise. They arrived early in the morning, talking and laughing excitedly, wanting to clean the house, prepare a big meal, and make Grandma happy. But in their hurry and carelessness, things went wrong. While moving a chair to reach the ceiling, they accidentally knocked things off the memory wall — photos fell off, letters were torn, and small decorations lay broken on the floor. Worse, someone stepped on the old album by mistake. The cover split open, and some pages came loose, with several precious photos bent and damaged.
The whole family froze in horror, exchanging nervous looks. A heavy, awkward silence fell over the room. No one dared to speak or even move, waiting for Grandma’s reaction. Heart sinking and cheeks burning, they could only stand there helplessly, staring at the mess they had created.
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。
Seeing the damaged photo album, Grandma’s eyes were filled with sadness.

The next morning, the kids gathered in the kitchen, determined to make things right.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Seeing the damaged photo album, Grandma’s eyes were filled with sadness. She froze for a moment, then stepped forward slowly and held the worn album in her trembling hands, as if cherishing the lost days with her family. Her throat tightened and tears shone in her eyes, but she soon calmed herself, patting the children’s hands to ease their worry. Though painful to see her memories broken, she valued their love and company more than anything else.
The next morning, the kids gathered in the kitchen, determined to make things right. They worked together to glue the torn photos, rearrange the memory wall carefully, and add new photos from this gathering. They also prepared a simple but heartfelt meal for Grandma. When she saw the neatly restored album and the lively wall, tears of joy rolled down her cheeks. The old house was filled with laughter again, making everyone realize that compared with cold objects like photos or distant phone calls, the warm presence of family members is what truly matters.

While ball games and chess dominate the spotlight, some unusual sports remain off the radar but they’re just as thrilling! These activities not only lift your spirits but also bring back the true essence of sports: FUN! Here are four fascinating examples:
Quidditch
Inspired by J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, this magical game is now a real international sport. Each team has seven players, and every player must keep a broom between their legs from start to finish. Combining elements of rugby and dodgeball, it’s called “Muggle Quidditch” since non-magical folks play it without magic.
Yubi Lakpi
This traditional Indian game resembles football, but with a twist — players use a coconut instead of a ball. Two teams compete to carry the coconut into the opponent’s goal area. To make the game more challenging, players apply oil to their bodies, making them slippery and hard to grab. Tough enough? Give it a try!
Zorbing
Imagine rolling downhill inside a giant plastic ball. That’s zorbing! It first originated in New Zealand in the 1990s and has grown into a popular outdoor adventure activity around the world. Usually done on gentle slopes or flat ground, it’s more about the joy of rolling than competition. Perfect for a fun day out with friends!
Toe Wrestling
Yes, it’s real and it even has a World Championship! Similar to arm wrestling, opponents try to pin each other’s toes down for three seconds. Matches alternate between left and right feet, with the best of three rounds deciding the winner. So kick off your shoes and socks. It’s toe-wrestling time!
21. What must Quidditch players do throughout the game?
A. Control the team with magic.
B. Pass a rugby ball to other folks.
C. Hold a broom between their legs.
D. Obey rules from the Harry Potter series.
22. How do players make it difficult for the opposing team in Yubi Lakpi?
A. By wetting the fields.
B. By oiling themselves.
C. By polishing the coconuts.
D. By blocking the opponents.
23. What do Zorbing and Toe Wrestling have in common?
A. Both take place on gentle slopes.
B. Both involve close-body contact.
C. Both qualify as championship events.
D. Both feature fun-oriented recreation.
B
Last summer, I made a rather unconventional decision to run a small bookstore in the bustling food market of my neighborhood. My friends cast doubt on the plan, for the market was crowded with noisy vendors (小贩) and filled with pungent food smells. Their concerns proved well-founded on its opening day. Sandwiched between a pork stall and a tofu shop, my bookstore attracted barely any attention. With few customers stepping in, I felt disheartened and began to reflect on what went wrong. Never had I anticipated such a frigid beginning.
It didn’t take me long to figure out where the problem lay. I had stocked my shelves with classic novels and poetry I cherished, yet they failed to meet the needs of local residents. I therefore resolved to make a thorough change. In place of those books, I displayed home-style cookbooks, stories about street food, and food-related picture books for children. I sincerely hoped these new books would win over the locals. I also launched a “Book-for-Veggie Exchange” activity in the store.
The new adjustment turned out to be highly successful. Local people soon took to this creative idea. A young mother came first with a carrot to exchange for a picture book, and before long, my counter was overflowing with fresh vegetables. The tofu vendor’s daughter, who had watched silently for weeks on end, finally stepped forward to borrow a comic. Months later, the bookstore became a warm part of market life, with the scent of books blending gently with the fresh aroma of farm produce.
This experience reshaped my understanding of books. I once believed books could only shine in quiet places, but now I have seen their real value. It lies in connecting with people’s everyday life: books can blend perfectly into daily routines and warm our hearts. They become meaningful and touching when combined with the hustle and bustle, food and laughter of everyday life.
24. What problem did the author face last summer?
A. Doubt among close friends.
B. Strong food smells in the market.
C. Low store traffic in the bookstore.
D. Disturbance from nearby vendors.
25. How did the author attract customers to the bookstore?
A. By selling local vegetables.
B. By offering reader-specific books.
C. By stocking favorite classics.
D. By organizing book-swap activities.
26. What can we learn about the bookstore in paragraph 3?
A. It aimed at a profitable trade in farm produce.
B. It funded the young children in the community.
C. It reflected a harmonious integration into market life.
D. It served as a popular gathering spot in the neighborhood.
27. What has the author learned from opening the bookstore?
A. Better late than never.
B. Books are for life, not for shelves.
C. Think outside the box.
D. Reading connects soul to daily life.
C
In 1993, more than 700 people were sickened (and four died) after eating at a fast-food restaurant chain. It took investigators 39 days to determine that the illnesses were connected and more than a month to find the thing that was making people sick: hamburgers contaminated (污染) with E. coli.
Food safety experts and other scientists knew there had to be a faster way to detect and link outbreaks. They determined that if public health laboratories could each conduct the same kind of DNA analysis on bacteria and then share the data, dots could be connected and outbreaks could be identified sooner.
And so, PulseNet was born. Launched in 1996, PulseNet, developed in partnership with APHL, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), other federal partners and four state public health labs, is a national laboratory network that analyzes a pathogen’s (病原体) unique DNA fingerprint. The resulting data are published to a national database. Microbiologists and epidemiologists from around the country can access the database and determine if there are similarities that indicate cases are related and even share a common source of infection.
PulseNet enables investigators to identify eight illness-causing pathogens and discover outbreak clusters (组) in near real-time. Investigations that used to take weeks, for example, can now take only days. That quick turnaround time is essential to saving lives.
CDC reports that in the 30 years since PulseNet has been in action, over 1 billion pounds of contaminated food have been recalled and an estimated 270,000 foodborne illnesses associated with three common illness-causing bacteria — Salmonella, E. coli and Listeria — have been prevented. By developing new technologies such as PulseNet 2.0, the newly launched data analysis platform, PulseNet continues to enhance its ability to detect and prevent additional illnesses.
In celebration of PulseNet’s milestone birthday, we rounded up stories illustrating the enormous impact the network has had on disease monitoring and outbreak detection. Read on to learn how each one emphasizes PulseNet’s vital contribution to human, animal and environmental health.
28. What does the author want to show by telling the fast-food chain outbreak?
A. Food safety was a top priority. B. Illness detection was inefficient.
C. Fast food required stricter regulation. D. Public health was a challenging issue.
29. What can PulseNet do?
A. Identify rare bacteria. B. Cure certain diseases.
C. Collect patients’ fingerprints. D. Conduct DNA analysis on bacteria.
30. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about concerning PulseNet?
A. Its features. B. Its contributions. C. Its future plans. D. Its working principles.
31. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To explain the birth of PulseNet. B. To introduce a laboratory network.
C. To collect stories for an anniversary. D. To show the progress of food safety tools.
D
Inspiration for Zeynep Demirbas’ research struck during a chat with a friend. That friend, a psychologist, said some health insurance companies were pushing the use of artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, for mental health. The idea: AI might be less costly and easier to access than human therapists (治疗专家).
That worried Zeynep, 14. She knew that ChatGPT often gave wrong answers or agreed with incorrect statements. Could this type of AI, known as a large language model — or LLM — really be trusted with our mental health?
To find out, she tested whether several LLMs could detect stress in human text. She gave the models a dataset of more than 3,500 posts. Human raters had been asked to label each one as containing stress or not. Then Zeynep asked the models to identify which posts showed stress.
To judge how well the models did, Zeynep calculated something called an F1-score for each one. This score considers how many stress-containing posts the models accurately spotted. It also accounts for how often the models missed cases of stress and how often they mislabeled posts as showing stress. An LLM specifically designed for mental health did the best. It scored about 82 percent. ChatGPT scored only about 74 percent.
ChatGPT performing badly was “really surprising”, Zeynep says. It did even worse than the “random-forest” model, which is “supposed to be a very simple and old technique. So I just put it in as a baseline,” Zeynep says. “That was very interesting — how something so small and simple was able to beat an LLM like ChatGPT that used millions of parameters (参数) and had so much coding go into it.”
“We should be mindful with AI,” Zeynep says. “That doesn’t mean that LLMs are bad, because they’re for general use. They’re not necessarily meant for mental health.” Her data led her to conclude that LLMs should not be replacing human therapists. Instead, these models might help identify people who are struggling and refer them to a mental health professional.
32. What worried Zeynep when chatting with a friend?
A. AI is applied to mental health. B. Human therapists charge high fees.
C. AI is developing at an alarming rate. D. Health insurance companies face challenges.
33. Why were the human raters asked to label the posts?
A. To assess the reliability of the posts.
B. To figure out the F1-scores of different LLMs.
C. To provide a reference standard for LLM testing.
D. To assess human raters’ accuracy in detecting stress.
34. Why does Zeynep mention the random-forest model?
A. To erase doubts about old models.
B. To compare simple and complex models.
C. To illustrate the urgent need for more parameters.
D. To show the poor performance of LLMs in the test.
35. What does Zeynep mean in the last paragraph?
A. LLMs are generally useless in most fields.
B. Humans are responsible for improving AI.
C. LLMs need more training in identifying mental struggles.
D. Humans still play a dominant role in addressing mental issues.

Hanfu is a traditional robe(长袍) of the Han people, which has a history of thousands of years in China. The number of people adopting the ancient style of dress in modern times has. grown significantly these days. The hanfu clothing industry is now worth one billion yuan(US$140.7 million). ___36___ However, it may be too early to call it a “revival”(复兴).
___37___ And it sounds impressive that about 2.2 million people in China wear hanfu. But considering that the clothing retail(零售) industry was worth 1.92 trillion yuan in 2017, one billion yuan is a small number. Similarly, 2.2 million seems a small number considering that China’s population is more than 1.3 billion.
Having played a major role in China’s clothing history, hanfu remained popular until the late 1600s. ___38___ After pursuing Western fashion, it’s natural that Chinese people are returning to traditional clothing in search of their cultural identity.
But what is the obstacle of hanfu’s revival, despite people’s love for it? ___39___ The hanfu trend appeared five years ago, so the industry is quite young. And many tailors are still learning how best to make hanfu from historical TV dramas and so on. But most of these historical dramas are fictional, as are many of the clothes the characters wear.
Short-video and live-streaming apps are the other sources that promote the hanfu culture. But most of these live streamers have their own shops. ___40___ To fulfill their selfish interests, those behind the short videos and live-streaming blame one another instead of working together to revive the hanfu culture.
If these live-streamers really want to develop the hanfu culture, they should change their attitude and work together for the betterment of the hanfu industry.
A. One billion yuan is a huge figure.
B. The lack of a standard seems to be the main problem.
C. The popularity of hanfu reflects the diversity of Chinese culture.
D. This means they promote hanfu culture to increase their own profits.
E. Even the traditional Korean and Japanese costumes originated from it.
F. This has prompted many to say it symbolizes the revival of Han or hanfu culture.
G. It is natural for Chinese people to show their love for traditional culture by wearing hanfu.

Grandma lived alone in the old house ever since her children moved away for work and life. Years passed, and the house seemed quieter and quieter. To fill her days, she carefully decorated a memory wall in the living room, covered with old photos, handwritten letters, children’s drawings, and small souvenirs from every family gathering. She also kept a precious old photo album, filled with faded pictures from her youth, her children’s childhood, and every happy moment the family had shared. For Grandma, these things were not just objects — they were her whole world.
One weekend, her children and grandchildren decided to give her a big surprise. They arrived early in the morning, talking and laughing excitedly, wanting to clean the house, prepare a big meal, and make Grandma happy. But in their hurry and carelessness, things went wrong. While moving a chair to reach the ceiling, they accidentally knocked things off the memory wall — photos fell off, letters were torn, and small decorations lay broken on the floor. Worse, someone stepped on the old album by mistake. The cover split open, and some pages came loose, with several precious photos bent and damaged.
The whole family froze in horror, exchanging nervous looks. A heavy, awkward silence fell over the room. No one dared to speak or even move, waiting for Grandma’s reaction. Heart sinking and cheeks burning, they could only stand there helplessly, staring at the mess they had created.
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。
Seeing the damaged photo album, Grandma’s eyes were filled with sadness.
