Before she left her bed, Instagram’s reels (短视频) had flashed through perfect breakfasts in Paris, flawless skin routines and classmates laughing at parties she hadn’t been invited to. “I felt like everyone was living a better version of my life,” she admits. By the end of 2025, Zoe was spending more than four hours online daily, sleeping poorly and snapping at her little brother over nothing. Her mother, a nurse, noticed the change first. “She stopped bringing friends home and answered every question with ’I’m fine’ — but her eyes weren’t fine.” A school counsellor suggested a simple experiment: cut social media to one hour a day for thirty days and log her mood. Zoe agreed, mostly to prove the adult world wrong. Week one was itchy. She opened the apps out of muscle memory. Week two felt “quieter”. She rediscovered sketching and started helping her brother build Lego cities. By week four, her screen-time app showed 58 minutes, but more importantly her sleep-tracking watch recorded an extra 55 minutes of deep sleep. “I laughed louder that month than I had in a year,” she says. When the trial ended, Zoe didn’t rush back. She now budgets 90 minutes online, mostly after dinner, and leaves her phone outside the bedroom. Grades have improved, but she values something else: “I finally feel I’m driving my own day, not reacting to others’ highlight reels.” Experts say stories like Zoe’s are no accident. The recent Mission Australia survey of 17,480 teens found moderate users — one to three hours — reported higher life satisfaction than both light and heavy users. Dr Louise La Sala, lead author, argues the real enemy is not Instagram or TikTok, but endless, mindless scrolling. “Moderation, not prohibition, teaches young people to be the bosses of their own attention,” she insists. Zoe agrees. “I’m not anti-social media; I’m pro-boundaries,” she laughs, waving a sketchbook filled with new characters — drawn during the hour she once gave to her feed. 24. What does the underlined word “itchy” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Anxious to check her apps. B. Unwilling to talk with others. C. Eager to accept new challenges. D. Regretful to start the experiment. 25. What do we know about Zoe’s experiment outcome? A. She totally quit social media and felt separated. B. She convinced her friends to delete all their apps. C. She returned to her previous usage level immediately. D. She found a balanced routine improving her well-being. 26. What is Dr Louise La Sala’s attitude toward social media? A. It should be prohibited for teenager users. B. Its risks can be managed through self-control. C. Parents should fully control teens’ digital use. D. It does great harm to students’ physical health. 27. What conclusion can we draw from Zoe’s story? A. Less screen time means better grades. B. Teenagers can control their online habits. C. Social media doesn’t harm mental health. D. Art is the only way to lift teenagers’ mood. C The Arctic, Earth’s northern freezer, is warming nearly four times faster than the global average. One of the clearest signs of this rapid change is the shrinking blanket of sea ice that floats on the Arctic Ocean. Since satellites started watching in 1979, summer sea-ice area has dropped by about forty percent, an area roughly six-times the size of California. Sea ice is different from land-based ice sheets. It forms when seawater freezes, creating thin plates that can be only a few metres thick. Because ice is lighter than water, it floats and moves with wind and currents, covering the ocean like a bright white cap. That cap performs a vital job: it reflects most of the Sun’s energy back to space, keeping the planet cool. Scientists call this effect “albedo”. When warming temperatures melt the ice, darker ocean water is exposed. Dark surfaces absorb more heat, leading to even more melting — a vicious cycle known as ice-albedo feedback. Melting sea ice does not directly raise sea level, just as melting ice cubes in a glass do not make the glass overflow. However, the loss of ice weakens entire ecosystems. Polar bears rely on sturdy ice to hunt seals; walruses (海象) rest on ice pieces between feeding dives on the shallow ocean floor. As ice breaks into smaller pieces, these animals must swim longer distances, burning precious energy and sometimes drowning. On human communities, the changes are mixed. Melting ice opens new shipping routes, cutting travel time between Europe and Asia, but it also threatens the traditions of Indigenous (原住民的) peoples who depend on stable ice for hunting and travel. Moreover, extra heat in the Arctic can disturb weather patterns far away, possibly making winters colder in some regions by shifting the polar jet stream. Researchers use computer models, underwater robots, and even sensors attached to seals to predict future ice conditions. Their work suggests the Arctic could experience practically ice free summers by the 2050s if greenhouse-gas emissions continue to rise. Cutting carbon pollution, monitoring wildlife, and protecting Indigenous knowledge are therefore urgent steps toward slowing the melting. 28. Why is the ice-albedo feedback described as “vicious”? A. This process helps animals survive. B. The cycle speeds up further melting. C. The feedback lowers sea level quickly. D. It creates new ice sheets over vast areas. 29. What does the author imply about melting sea ice? A. Swimming distance for animals is reduced. B. New food sources are created for animals. C. The global sea level is raised directly. D. Animals’ energy waste is increased. 30. How does melting sea ice affect human communities? A. It has both positive and negative effects. B. It may lead to colder winters in all regions. C. It mainly brings economic benefits to humans. D. It destroys the traditional lifestyle of Indigenous peoples. 31. What can be concluded from the researchers’ prediction? A. Emissions have little effect on Arctic ice. B. Ice-free summers will come by the 2050s. C. Robots are the best tool for ice prediction. D. Cutting carbon can help slow Arctic ice loss. D Imagine sitting in a laboratory, watching a movie while an MRI scanner records the activity in your brain. Minutes later, an AI system recreates blurry but recognizable images of what you just saw. This is not science fiction — it’s happening right now in neuroscience labs around the world. In 2024, researchers at Osaka University developed a model that can translate brain activity into images. Volunteers watched short, silent films while the AI learned to associate visual patterns in the brain with what appeared on screen. Later, when participants merely imagined the scenes, the computer generated similar images — ghostly reconstructions of their thoughts. The implications are extraordinary. For patients who have lost the ability to speak, such as those physically-disabled by injury or stroke, brain-to-image technology might one day restore communication. It could also help scientists explore the nature of memory, creativity, and dreams. Similar research in the United States uses step-by-step models — the same kind of AI behind image generators like Midjourney — to sharpen and colorize mental reconstructions. But not everyone is celebrating. Ethicists warn that reading the mind blurs (模糊) the line between science and watching. “Our thoughts are the last private space,” says neuroscientist Yu Takagi, who co-led the Osaka study. “Before we open it, we must decide who controls it.” If such data were misused, employers or governments could potentially access a person’s inner life. There are also scientific limits. The AI doesn’t truly “see” your memories — it predicts the most likely image based on neural activity. Human memory itself is imperfect, influenced by emotions and imagination. Combining AI reconstruction with imperfect recollection could even produce false memories, a dangerous prospect for law, media, or personal identity. Yet optimism persists. Many researchers view the technology not as mind reading, but as a mirror to human cognition. By understanding how the brain builds imagery, they hope to reveal how thoughts become vision, and vision becomes meaning. The dream of projecting our minds onto a screen is still distant, but each experiment brings that dream a little closer to reality. 32. What was the key achievement of the Osaka University study? A. It proved human memory can be greatly improved. B. It helped patients record their dreams in clear detail. C. It created images from brain activity and imagination. D. It developed a complex type of advanced MRI scanner. 33. How might this AI help in medicine? A. Control thoughts to treat anxiety. B. Erase painful experiences directly. C. Store patients’ memories permanently. D. Help speech-affected patients communicate. 34. Why do ethicists express concern? A. AI may take the place of neuroscientists. B. The invention has little value in medical treatment. C. It may harm mental privacy and create false memories. D. The technology produces too unclear images to be practical. 35. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude? A. Hopeful but cautious. B. Doubtful and critical. C. Unconcerned and objective. D. Worried and negative. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are countless things you can do in a day — wash your car or hike a mountain. Each of those things may or may not help you succeed tomorrow, but what matters is that you did them on that day. You have the ability right now to make choices to craft and drive your goals. 36 Start by asking yourself what you can do now. No matter what, don’t get too comfortable.

They often describe 57 unique experience: with features like voice commands and autonomous driving, the car stops being “just a car” and begins to feel like a partner — able to perceive, think, and anticipate. At home, however, AI has long remained limited to relatively “not-so-smart” devices such as voice 58 (assistant). Interactions were largely rule-based: if you deviate (偏离) even slightly from preset commands, the system would often respond improperly or produce 59 (satisfactory) results That began to change with the rise of large language models, including ChatGPT and other 60 (advance) AI systems. Initially 61 (restrict) to chat interfaces (交互界面), these models were mainly used to answer questions or generate text. Now, AI is entering more natural, conversational spaces. Take ByteDance’s Doubao for example: it can speak fluently, understand context, respond 62 an intelligent and thoughtful manner, and even access real-time information. But voice interaction is only the beginning. The real leap forward comes with multimodal models such as vision-language models (VLMs), 63 integrate visual and auditory input, greatly 64 (enhance) AI’s ability to perceive and interpret its surroundings. Consider meal preparation. Smart recipes existed long before AI, but they were 65 (essential) digital versions of printed instructions — you still had to follow each step manually. Multimodal AI is beginning to change that. 第四部分 写作（共两节；满分 40 分） 第一节（满分 15 分） 假定你是李华。近日，邻市宿迁在苏超赛事宣传中，特邀知名演员何润东扮演本地历史英雄项羽，借此展示城市历史文化遗产、弘扬传统文化，该事件引发全网广泛热议。请你给校英文报 “Opinion” 栏目写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1．简述本次热点宣传事件； 2．谈谈你对该跨界宣传方式的看法； 注意： 1．词数 80 左右； 2．行文连贯，可适当增加细节； 3．不得透露个人真实信息。 参考词汇：跨界宣传方式 cross-border promotion Dear Editor, ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 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。 Riya and Angela were best friends. They lived on the same street, studied at the same school, and shared everything from lunch boxes to secrets. But as they grew older, a noticeable change took place. Angela stood out effortlessly in extracurricular activities. A talented singer, she won wide admiration, various prizes and high praise from teachers. Classmates loved to gather around her to enjoy her sweet, melodious voice. Riya felt left out. She told herself it did not matter — Angela was her best friend, and her success should also be her joy. Yet Angela failed to notice Riya’s inner anxiety and carried on as usual. Riya sensed a strange feeling taking root in her heart. It started small and subtle: the uneasiness when Angela was applauded, the ache when being compared with her, the fake smile when hearing good news. Jealousy had crept into her heart quietly like a shadow. One day, Angela came to Riya excitedly, saying she had been chosen to represent their school in the inter-school competition. Riya forced a smile. “That’s really great,” she replied. But that evening, she sat alone in her room staring blankly, wondering: Why her? Why not me? I work hard too. Why wasn’t I gifted with such talent? Such thoughts crowded in and brought tears to her eyes. They soon changed her behavior. She began to avoid Angela. Their conversations grew short, her laughter became unreal, and Angela’s achievements annoyed her instead of making her proud. Angela finally noticed it. One evening, she went up to Riya and asked, “Did I hurt you? You’ve been so distant.” Riya hesitated. The truth was hard to say. Part of her wanted to hide her feelings and pretend everything was okay. 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。 But the part that loved and treasured their friendship spoke up. ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ Riya could not believe what she just heard. ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
