思路点拨 空格前文提到作者提前到校进行当天的规划和准备(“my planning and preparation before the day”),F项“我在白板上写下教学目标,查看我的教案”(“I'm writing my objectives on the whiteboard, looking through my plans”) 正是对“规划和准备”这一核心动作的具体展开,原词“plans”得到复现,逻辑上紧密承接。
37. 答案 G
命题透析 考查上下文衔接。
思路点拨 空格位于段首,后文紧接着描述了检查对话、做晨间通告等活动。G项“8:30,我接上我的学生们,带他们进入教室,我们以早餐开始一天”(“At 8:30, I get my students, bring them into the classroom, and we start our day with breakfast”) 提供了具体的时间点和事件起点,“At 8:30”与上一段末尾的“7:30 and 8”形成时间顺序上的自然推进。
38. 答案 D
命题透析 考查上下文衔接。
思路点拨 空格前文详细描述了作者观察学生们在课间自由活动时的社交选择和表现(“who plays what sport, who chooses to do what”),D项“所有这些事情对他们未来会成为什么样的人都至关重要”(“All those things matter for who they will become later in life”) 中的“All those things”指代前文观察到的学生行为,并对此进行了意义总结与升华,与作者认为“非常有趣”的思考形成完整的因果逻辑链。
39. 答案 E
命题透析 考查上下文衔接。
思路点拨 空格前文提到有去年教过的学生请求共进午餐,E项“我确实将其视为一个更好地了解学生的机会”(“I really see it as an opportunity to just get to know the students better”) 中的“it”明确指代前句的“have lunch with me”这一机会。该选项直接解释了作者对共进午餐这一行为的看法,后文的“就像在同一个街区多走了几圈”的比喻正是对“更好地了解”的进一步形象化说明。
40. 答案 C
命题透析 考查上下文衔接。
思路点拨 空格后文提到“所以,有些日子放学后我会参加长达一小时的会议...”(“So, some days after school I'd be in an hourlong meeting...”),C项“我在学校也参与几个领导团队”(“I'm also on a couple of leadership teams at my site”) 恰好说明了需要参加这些会议的原因。选项中的“leadership teams”与后文会议主题“instructional leadership”形成关键词复现。
(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分)
文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。主题语境为人与社会。主题群是个人、家庭与社会生活。文章讲述了“我”和伴侣在公园陪孩子放风筝时,得知伴侣因童年艰辛从未有过此经历,而后“我”帮助他第一次放飞风筝,并在后来偶然看到他独自享受放风筝乐趣的故事。故事揭示了简单的快乐同样能带来深刻的幸福与治愈。
41. 答案 C
命题透析 考查名词。
思路点拨 固定短语“on a sudden thought”,意为“灵机一动”,符合“我突然想到拿出风筝”的语境。
42. 答案 B
命题透析 考查形容词。
思路点拨 此处修饰“pleasure”(快乐)。根据全文主旨“简单事物带来幸福”及“ hoping to offer the boy a __ pleasure”的语境,simple(简单的)最能体现这种快乐纯粹、易得的特质。
43. 答案 D
命题透析 考查动词现在分词。
思路点拨 根据语境“we… were just __ on the side”,描述两人在一旁的状态。watching(观看)准确描绘了父母关注孩子玩耍的场景。
44. 答案 C
命题透析 考查动词过去分词。
思路点拨 动词需与“a kite”搭配,表示“放风筝”。flown(放飞)是专门描述“使风筝飞行”的动词。
45. 答案 A
命题透析 考查形容词。
思路点拨 此处修饰“childhood”。根据后文“I could understand why (he had never flown a kite)”可知,其童年经历是导致缺失此项体验的原因。rough(艰难的)能概括地描述困苦不幸的童年。
46. 答案 B
命题透析 考查动词短语。
思路点拨 空格所在部分“some __ that they get to do as kid”是“the many things”的定语从句。take for granted(认为…理所当然)完美契合“一些人童年能做却视若平常,而另一些人从未体验”的对比语境。
47. 答案 D
命题透析 考查副词。
思路点拨 此处副词引导句子,表明后续事件的情感色彩。根据上文“他从未放过风筝”的遗憾,和下文“我正好有一个特别的星战风筝”的巧合,Fortunately(幸运地)最能体现这种转折与庆幸。
48. 答案 A
命题透析 考查形容词。
思路点拨 此处形容词描述组装风筝的特点。根据“I hadn't used because particularly __”可知,原因是负面的、具有阻碍性的。difficult(困难的)最直接表明组装复杂,是未曾使用的原因。
49. 答案 C
命题透析 考查动词。
思路点拨 此处动词需与“didn't… at all”连用,表达“完全不…”。mind(介意)符合“他不介意组装复杂”的语境,与上文“difficult to put together”形成转折。
50. 答案 D
命题透析 考查名词。
思路点拨 此处名词与“had so much”搭配,表示他获得了许多的“某种东西”。fun(乐趣)与全文“放风筝带来快乐”的主题高度一致,且是描述娱乐活动核心体验的常用词。
51. 答案 B
命题透析 考查名词。
思路点拨 此处名词作主语,被“strong”修饰,且是放风筝的必要自然条件。wind(风)是唯一符合逻辑的答案。rain(雨)、cloud(云)、shower(阵雨)均不利于放风筝,与后文看见风筝高飞的场景矛盾。
52. 答案 A
命题透析 考查动词现在分词。
思路点拨 此处现在分词作宾语补足语,描述风筝在空中“翱翔”的状态。sailing(航行)常用来比喻风筝、鸟等在空中轻快滑行,非常生动形象。
53. 答案 C
命题透析 考查动词现在分词。
思路点拨 此处现在分词作后置定语修饰“the person”,表示“操控风筝的人”。piloting(驾驶,操纵)通常用于操控飞机、船只等,此处用于风筝,带有一种正式、专注的幽默感,与“big man”形象形成有趣对比。
54. 答案 D
命题透析 考查名词。
思路点拨 此处名词作“bring someone”的宾语,是全文最终要传递的核心价值。happiness(幸福,快乐)与文中多次提到的“pleasure”、“fun”等词呼应,点明主旨。
55. 答案 B
命题透析 考查名词。
思路点拨 此处名词作宾语,总结全文的象征物。kite(风筝)是贯穿整个故事的线索和带来转变的关键物品,用在此处具有点题效果。
(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分)
文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。主题语境为人与社会,主题群是文化传承与交流。文章介绍了苏绣大师邹英姿及其代表作《竹石图》,通过她自幼学艺、创新针法、将传统刺绣提升为当代艺术形式的经历,展现了千年苏绣技艺在新时代的传承与创新。
51. 答案 moving
命题透析 考查非谓语动词。
思路点拨 介词“by”后接动名词,表示“通过……方式”,故用 “moving”。
52. 答案 are used
命题透析 考查动词时态和语态。
思路点拨 主语“forty techniques”与动词“use”为被动关系,且此处陈述客观事实,需用一般现在时的被动语态“are used”。
53. 答案 that
命题透析 考查同位语从句。
思路点拨 空格后“this ancient craft... can still express...”是一个完整的句子,用来解释说明其前的名词“statement”(陈述,声明),故用连接词“that”引导同位语从句。
54. 答案 Born
命题透析 考查非谓语动词。
思路点拨 过去分词 “born”作状语,构成“be born in”这一固定结构,意为“出生于……”,且置于句首,首字母大写。
55. 答案 The
命题透析 考查冠词。
思路点拨 此处特指上文提到的Su embroidery这一技艺,需用定冠词The,句首大写。
56. 答案 innovator
命题透析 考查名词。
思路点拨 空格前为不定冠词an,需用名词单数形式,innovate的名词为innovator,表示“创新者”。
57. 答案 to create
命题透析 考查非谓语动词。
思路点拨 此处用动词不定式作目的状语,表示“为了创造……”。
58. 答案 pioneering
命题透析 考查形容词。
思路点拨 空格修饰名词“work”,需用形容词形式,“pioneer”的形容词为“pioneering”,意为“开创性的”。
59. 答案 genuinely
命题透析 考查副词。
思路点拨 空格修饰形容词“creative”,需用副词形式,“genuine”的副词为“genuinely”,意为“真正地”。

one possible version:
Small Acts, Big Changes
Hello, everyone!
I'm Li Hua. Today I am more than delighted to have the chance to speak about the topic: Small Acts, Big Changes.
Witnessing our school hallway often littered with paper last winter, I decided one morning to pick up a few pieces. A classmate noticed my simple action and immediately joined me. Inspired by this, more students followed the next day. Within a week, a messy passage was transformed into a cleaner space.
This experience taught me that meaningful change often begins with the simplest actions. Whether offering a smile or picking up trash can create positive impact. Let us all start today, looking around and asking what small act we can do right now.
That’s all. Thanks for your listening.

With a heavy heart, I finally made the telephone call two days later. A woman named Sarah answered, her voice full of anxiety and nervousness. When I described the cat which had orange fur with white paws and blue eyes, she became very emotional. Hearing my description, he said with a weak but happy voice that it sounded just like his lost friend. She explained that Marigold had slipped out an open window and her two young children were heartbroken. I invited them to come over that evening.
Just after dinner, there was a quiet knock. A couple and their two small children stood at the door. The moment we let Sunny into the room, the little girl cried out, "Marigold!" The cat replied happily and ran straight to the children. The couple and their children thanked us, with tears in their eyes. We shared how Sunny loved to chase balls. They then invited Jack to come play with their children and visit Marigold anytime. From that day on, our two families became friends. Sunny, now Marigold again, brought unexpected happiness and a lasting connection to all of us.

https://www.sunnyskyz.com/feel-good-story/4696/A-customer-apologized-for-overreacting-and-hugged-me
This actually happened to me a while ago, but it's something I think about often. When I was working alone at a small laundry shop, an elderly man came in and tried to request a wash rag from me (to clean his hands before handling his clothes). The interaction was very stressful, as he was angry and unclear about what he needed and my attempts to understand him better were met with obvious frustration from him. Long story short, he said something that was extremely unkind to me, and I wound up hiding - and crying - in the office.
While I was back there, I could still see out to the main laundry area and the parking lot. The man went out and sat in his truck for a while, and I saw that he had a dog with him. He patted the dog and seemed to be talking to it. Then, he came back in, walked over to the door to the office, and knocked on it.
I tried to act like I hadn't been crying, but I'm a hard crier, so it was probably pretty obvious. He looked at me and said, "Miss, I am very sorry. I'm not at my best today, and you didn't deserve any of that. I'm ashamed of myself."
I told him it was okay, but his apology made me even more emotional, so I started crying again, and then apologized to him for crying, and he said, "Don't you apologize because some guy was a jerk(混蛋)to you. You have every right to be upset." We stayed seated and talked until his laundry was done. He told me he'd lost his wife just a few weeks earlier, and he wasn't handling it very well.
I think about him a lot. That apology and the conversation that followed meant the world to me, and has helped in ways I couldn't even have predicted since. It restored my faith in people. Wherever he is now, I hope he knows that.
(原创)24. Why did the old man first come into the shop?
A. To wash some clothes.
B. To look for his lost dog.
C. To ask for a cleaning cloth.

A. Someone who looks unhappy.
B. Someone who cries very easily.
C. Someone who never apologizes.
D. Someone who rarely shows feelings.
(原创)26. What did the writer and the man do after the apology?

https://www.sciencealert.com/listening-to-music-has-a-surprising-impact-on-dementia-risk-study-shows
Listening to music into old age could reduce the risk of dementia(痴呆症)by almost 40 percent, a new study has found. It's based on data from 10,893 Australians aged 70 or older, who, at the time of sign-up, were living in retirement communities and had no diagnosis of dementia. They were asked about their music listening habits and whether they played an instrument.
Folks who "always" listened to music (as opposed to never, rarely, or sometimes listeners) were 39 percent less likely to develop dementia after at least three years of follow-up, and were 17 percent less likely to develop milder forms of cognitive impairments(认知障碍). They also performed better on tests of general cognition and episodic memory, which is important for recalling everyday events.
Those who were regularly picking up an instrument to make music were 35 percent less likely to develop dementia, but, unlike in other studies, there was no significant improvement for other kinds of cognitive impairments. People who both listened to and played music had a 33 percent reduced dementia risk, and a 22 percent reduced risk for unrelated cognitive impairments. Education level seemed to play a role, too.
"Music engagement benefits were strongest in those with higher education (16+ years) but showed inconsistent results in the middle education group (12–15 years)," the study's authors write.
The paper's lead author, public health researcher Emma Jaffa from Monash University in Australia, says these results suggest "music activities may be an accessible strategy for maintaining cognitive health in older adults, though cause-and-effect cannot be established."
While we don't know for sure if listening to music can really stave off dementia, hearing loss is a known risk factor for dementia, and research shows hearing aids can reduce cognitive decline. So there’s no harm in keeping your favorite songs on repeat.

As Educators’ concerns are running high when it comes to AI and how it may destroy teaching and learning. Harvard professors are pioneering its use to actively enhance learning. Professors Greg Kestin and Kelly Miller are testing AI " tutor robots " in complex courses where personalized instruction is often impractical. These robots form part of a strategic approach that helps students identify knowledge gaps and progress autonomously.
When designed with research-backed principles, AI tutors can significantly boost learning outcomes while enriching classroom interactions, Miller emphasizes. Their study compared traditional lecture-based teaching with an AI-supported "flipped classroom" where students learn core lessons from the tailored robot on their own and bring questions to class.
Research shows students in AI-supported classes felt much more involved and motivated. A major reason, Miller explains, is that the AI can be customized to each individual. Traditional classrooms often have low engagement and little personal feedback, leaving students passive. With an AI tutor, they can learn at their own pace, ask endless questions anytime, and not worry about being judged.
And the robot should make students think and question, not think for them. Kestin warns that letting students freely use tools like ChatGPT for homework often leads to worse test results, because it replaces their own critical thinking. Instead, AI should offer hints, show ideas visually, help with data, or create practice problems.
Harvard has now set up its own AI helpers called HUbot and PingPong. Harvard Business School also uses a special tutor bot in its “Financial Reporting and Control” course. Current research is looking at what kinds of student-robot interactions help learning the most. Follow-up studies are checking the long-term effects, including how well students remember what they learn.
This work shows that when AI is carefully integrated, it can become more than just a productivity tool—it can become what Kestin calls a "thinking partner." By balancing technical ability with teaching wisdom, educators may turn AI from something seen as a threat into a force that drives more personalized, active, and fair learning experiences. The goal is never to replace teachers, but to strengthen their ability to meet students' diverse needs through intelligent support.
(原创)32. What is a major worry about AI in education stated at the beginning?
A. It could make teachers completely unemployed.
B. It might damage the process of teaching and learning.
C. It is not advanced enough to understand student needs.
D. It will make education too expensive for many families.
(原创)33. What is a key reason students felt more motivated in AI-supported classes?
A. There were no tests or exams in those classes.
B. They could use their personal smartphones freely.
C. The AI teacher was more humorous than human teachers.
D. The learning experience could be tailored for each learner.
(原创)34. What is a core function the AI tutor should have, according to Professor Kestin?
A. It should strictly control the pace of learning for all students.
B. It should replace traditional textbooks with interactive videos.
C. It should encourage students' own thinking rather than doing it for them.
D. It should complete homework assignments for students to save some time.
(原创)35. What is the final relationship hoped for between AI and teachers based on the text?
A. A cooperative relationship where AI improves teachers' abilities.
B. An independent relationship where both work in different fields.
C. A short-term relationship until AI can work completely on its own.
D. A competitive relationship where one will take the place of the other.

https://stanfordmag.org/contents/so-you-want-to-be-a-teacher
Do you want to be a teacher? What is it like to work in the classroom? Here is a typical day of my work in an Auckland primary-school classroom.
I try to get to work between 7 and 7:30. Our report time is 8:00, but being in the space helps me get ready for the day. I do more of my planning and preparation before the day instead of after the previous day. 36 Other teachers come in sometime between 7:30 and 8, and we’ll summary the previous day.
37 I check in on the conversations. I’ll do morning announcements, and at 9:00, we start with our reading block. As a second-grade teacher, I do foundational literacy, math, and ELA [English language arts]. Students come in at different levels, so in addition to whole-class instruction, I also organize students into smaller teams to meet the needs of all learners, providing extra chances for active participation.
At 10 a.m., we go to break, and you can see their identities forming, watching them play. Whatever they choose to do in this free 15 minutes is so interesting. I’m seeing how they socialize themselves—who plays what sport, who chooses to do what. 38
After break, we do math, which is also very cooperative. Next, there is lunchtime. This is my second-year teaching, so a lot of my students from last year will ask if they can have lunch with me. 39 I think it’s like, if we were walking around the same block, I might have walked around that block a couple of more times.
After lunch they go to lunch break, and at 12:30, they come back in for ELA, which is like social studies. At 2:45 there’s dismissal and we’ll wait with the students until their parents pick them up. 40 So, some days after school I’d be in an hourlong meeting on topics like instructional leadership, culture, or climate. Meetings are over around 4:15 p.m., and I will leave school, at the latest, 5 o’clock.
A. I really encourage cooperation.
B. Sometimes we’ll just do personal check-ins.
C. I’m also on a couple of leadership teams at my site.
D. All those things matter for who they will become later in life.
E. I really see it as an opportunity to just get to know the students better.
F. I’m writing my objectives on the whiteboard, looking through my plans.
G. At 8:30, I get my students, bring them into the classroom, and we start our day with breakfast.

https://www.sunnyskyz.com/feel-good-story/4704/Flying-Kites
A few years ago, my partner and I took his young son to the park. On a sudden 41 , I decided to bring out the kites I had stored in my trunk(后备箱), hoping to offer the boy a 42 pleasure. Then we get our son going and were just 43 on the side. It was then that my partner shared with me that he had never 44 a kite before.
He had an extremely 45 childhood so I could understand why. But I still felt so sad to think of the many things some 46 that they get to do as kid, others had never done.
47 , I also had an X-Wing Star Wars kite in the trunk. I hadn't used because particularly 48 to put together, but he didn't 49 at all. He had so much 50 with it and I nearly cried getting to be there for it.
Just the other day, a strong 51 swept through town. I noticed a single kite 52 high while driving down the road. I smiled so big but then I starting giggling(咯咯的笑) to see that the person 53 the kite was none other than this big man by himself flying a kite.
It truly shows that you don’t always need impressive or costly things to bring someone 54 . Sometimes, you might just need a 55 .

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 son Jack was in sixth grade, he often played basketball after school at the community court near our apartment. One rainy evening in March, he came home carrying a small, wet cat under his jacket. The cat had orange fur with white paws and large, trusting blue eyes. It was shaking from the cold, and Jack immediately asked if we could let it stay.
The cat looked young, maybe a year old, and had no identification. I felt torn. I knew the right thing was to check for an owner, but seeing how happy Jack was made me pause. I thought about putting up flyers, but secretly hoped no one would claim her. After all, I reasoned, a responsible owner would not let their pet out in such weather.
We dried her off and she settled in quickly. Jack named her Sunny. She was calm and loved to nap in patches of sunlight on the living room floor. A few days later, a feeling I couldn't ignore made me check the online neighborhood group. My heart sank when I saw a post from a family desperately searching for their missing orange cat named Marigold(金盏花), last seen near the school. The description was a perfect match.
For a moment, I closed the webpage without saving it. I didn't tell Jack or my wife. Sunny had already found a place in our home. She followed Jack around and slept at the foot of his bed. But a quiet voice inside kept asking me what was truly right. I knew, deep down, I had to contact that family.

39. 答案 E
命题透析 考查上下文衔接。
思路点拨 空格前文提到有去年教过的学生请求共进午餐,E项“我确实将其视为一个更好地了解学生的机会”(“I really see it as an opportunity to just get to know the students better”) 中的“it”明确指代前句的“have lunch with me”这一机会。该选项直接解释了作者对共进午餐这一行为的看法,后文的“就像在同一个街区多走了几圈”的比喻正是对“更好地了解”的进一步形象化说明。
40. 答案 C
命题透析 考查上下文衔接。
思路点拨 空格后文提到“所以,有些日子放学后我会参加长达一小时的会议...”(“So, some days after school I'd be in an hourlong meeting...”),C项“我在学校也参与几个领导团队”(“I'm also on a couple of leadership teams at my site”) 恰好说明了需要参加这些会议的原因。选项中的“leadership teams”与后文会议主题“instructional leadership”形成关键词复现。
(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分)
文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。主题语境为人与社会。主题群是个人、家庭与社会生活。文章讲述了“我”和伴侣在公园陪孩子放风筝时,得知伴侣因童年艰辛从未有过此经历,而后“我”帮助他第一次放飞风筝,并在后来偶然看到他独自享受放风筝乐趣的故事。故事揭示了简单的快乐同样能带来深刻的幸福与治愈。
41. 答案 C
命题透析 考查名词。
思路点拨 固定短语“on a sudden thought”,意为“灵机一动”,符合“我突然想到拿出风筝”的语境。
42. 答案 B
命题透析 考查形容词。
思路点拨 此处修饰“pleasure”(快乐)。根据全文主旨“简单事物带来幸福”及“ hoping to offer the boy a __ pleasure”的语境,simple(简单的)最能体现这种快乐纯粹、易得的特质。
43. 答案 D
命题透析 考查动词现在分词。
思路点拨 根据语境“we… were just __ on the side”,描述两人在一旁的状态。watching(观看)准确描绘了父母关注孩子玩耍的场景。
44. 答案 C
命题透析 考查动词过去分词。
思路点拨 动词需与“a kite”搭配,表示“放风筝”。flown(放飞)是专门描述“使风筝飞行”的动词。
45. 答案 A
命题透析 考查形容词。
思路点拨 此处修饰“childhood”。根据后文“I could understand why (he had never flown a kite)”可知,其童年经历是导致缺失此项体验的原因。rough(艰难的)能概括地描述困苦不幸的童年。
46. 答案 B
命题透析 考查动词短语。
思路点拨 空格所在部分“some __ that they get to do as kid”是“the many things”的定语从句。take for granted(认为…理所当然)完美契合“一些人童年能做却视若平常,而另一些人从未体验”的对比语境。
47. 答案 D
命题透析 考查副词。
思路点拨 此处副词引导句子,表明后续事件的情感色彩。根据上文“他从未放过风筝”的遗憾,和下文“我正好有一个特别的星战风筝”的巧合,Fortunately(幸运地)最能体现这种转折与庆幸。
48. 答案 A
命题透析 考查形容词。
思路点拨 此处形容词描述组装风筝的特点。根据“I hadn't used because particularly __”可知,原因是负面的、具有阻碍性的。difficult(困难的)最直接表明组装复杂,是未曾使用的原因。
49. 答案 C
命题透析 考查动词。
思路点拨 此处动词需与“didn't… at all”连用,表达“完全不…”。mind(介意)符合“他不介意组装复杂”的语境,与上文“difficult to put together”形成转折。
50. 答案 D
命题透析 考查名词。
思路点拨 此处名词与“had so much”搭配,表示他获得了许多的“某种东西”。fun(乐趣)与全文“放风筝带来快乐”的主题高度一致,且是描述娱乐活动核心体验的常用词。
51. 答案 B
命题透析 考查名词。
思路点拨 此处名词作主语,被“strong”修饰,且是放风筝的必要自然条件。wind(风)是唯一符合逻辑的答案。rain(雨)、cloud(云)、shower(阵雨)均不利于放风筝,与后文看见风筝高飞的场景矛盾。
52. 答案 A
命题透析 考查动词现在分词。
思路点拨 此处现在分词作宾语补足语,描述风筝在空中“翱翔”的状态。sailing(航行)常用来比喻风筝、鸟等在空中轻快滑行,非常生动形象。
53. 答案 C
命题透析 考查动词现在分词。
思路点拨 此处现在分词作后置定语修饰“the person”,表示“操控风筝的人”。piloting(驾驶,操纵)通常用于操控飞机、船只等,此处用于风筝,带有一种正式、专注的幽默感,与“big man”形象形成有趣对比。
54. 答案 D
命题透析 考查名词。
思路点拨 此处名词作“bring someone”的宾语,是全文最终要传递的核心价值。happiness(幸福,快乐)与文中多次提到的“pleasure”、“fun”等词呼应,点明主旨。
55. 答案 B
命题透析 考查名词。
思路点拨 此处名词作宾语,总结全文的象征物。kite(风筝)是贯穿整个故事的线索和带来转变的关键物品,用在此处具有点题效果。
(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分)
文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。主题语境为人与社会,主题群是文化传承与交流。文章介绍了苏绣大师邹英姿及其代表作《竹石图》,通过她自幼学艺、创新针法、将传统刺绣提升为当代艺术形式的经历,展现了千年苏绣技艺在新时代的传承与创新。
51. 答案 moving
命题透析 考查非谓语动词。
思路点拨 介词“by”后接动名词,表示“通过……方式”,故用 “moving”。
52. 答案 are used
命题透析 考查动词时态和语态。
思路点拨 主语“forty techniques”与动词“use”为被动关系,且此处陈述客观事实,需用一般现在时的被动语态“are used”。
53. 答案 that
命题透析 考查同位语从句。
思路点拨 空格后“this ancient craft... can still express...”是一个完整的句子,用来解释说明其前的名词“statement”(陈述,声明),故用连接词“that”引导同位语从句。
54. 答案 Born
命题透析 考查非谓语动词。
思路点拨 过去分词 “born”作状语,构成“be born in”这一固定结构,意为“出生于……”,且置于句首,首字母大写。
55. 答案 The
命题透析 考查冠词。
思路点拨 此处特指上文提到的Su embroidery这一技艺,需用定冠词The,句首大写。
56. 答案 innovator
命题透析 考查名词。
思路点拨 空格前为不定冠词an,需用名词单数形式,innovate的名词为innovator,表示“创新者”。
57. 答案 to create
命题透析 考查非谓语动词。
思路点拨 此处用动词不定式作目的状语,表示“为了创造……”。
58. 答案 pioneering
命题透析 考查形容词。
思路点拨 空格修饰名词“work”,需用形容词形式,“pioneer”的形容词为“pioneering”,意为“开创性的”。
59. 答案 genuinely
命题透析 考查副词。
思路点拨 空格修饰形容词“creative”,需用副词形式,“genuine”的副词为“genuinely”,意为“真正地”。
60. 答案 to
命题透析 考查介词固定搭配。
思路点拨 “raise... from... to...”为固定搭配,意为“将……从……提升至……”。

one possible version:
Small Acts, Big Changes
Hello, everyone!
I'm Li Hua. Today I am more than delighted to have the chance to speak about the topic: Small Acts, Big Changes.
Witnessing our school hallway often littered with paper last winter, I decided one morning to pick up a few pieces. A classmate noticed my simple action and immediately joined me. Inspired by this, more students followed the next day. Within a week, a messy passage was transformed into a cleaner space.
This experience taught me that meaningful change often begins with the simplest actions. Whether offering a smile or picking up trash can create positive impact. Let us all start today, looking around and asking what small act we can do right now.
That’s all. Thanks for your listening.

With a heavy heart, I finally made the telephone call two days later. A woman named Sarah answered, her voice full of anxiety and nervousness. When I described the cat which had orange fur with white paws and blue eyes, she became very emotional. Hearing my description, he said with a weak but happy voice that it sounded just like his lost friend. She explained that Marigold had slipped out an open window and her two young children were heartbroken. I invited them to come over that evening.
Just after dinner, there was a quiet knock. A couple and their two small children stood at the door. The moment we let Sunny into the room, the little girl cried out, "Marigold!" The cat replied happily and ran straight to the children. The couple and their children thanked us, with tears in their eyes. We shared how Sunny loved to chase balls. They then invited Jack to come play with their children and visit Marigold anytime. From that day on, our two families became friends. Sunny, now Marigold again, brought unexpected happiness and a lasting connection to all of us.

https://www.sunnyskyz.com/feel-good-story/4696/A-customer-apologized-for-overreacting-and-hugged-me
This actually happened to me a while ago, but it's something I think about often. When I was working alone at a small laundry shop, an elderly man came in and tried to request a wash rag from me (to clean his hands before handling his clothes). The interaction was very stressful, as he was angry and unclear about what he needed and my attempts to understand him better were met with obvious frustration from him. Long story short, he said something that was extremely unkind to me, and I wound up hiding - and crying - in the office.
While I was back there, I could still see out to the main laundry area and the parking lot. The man went out and sat in his truck for a while, and I saw that he had a dog with him. He patted the dog and seemed to be talking to it. Then, he came back in, walked over to the door to the office, and knocked on it.
I tried to act like I hadn't been crying, but I'm a hard crier, so it was probably pretty obvious. He looked at me and said, "Miss, I am very sorry. I'm not at my best today, and you didn't deserve any of that. I'm ashamed of myself."
I told him it was okay, but his apology made me even more emotional, so I started crying again, and then apologized to him for crying, and he said, "Don't you apologize because some guy was a jerk(混蛋)to you. You have every right to be upset." We stayed seated and talked until his laundry was done. He told me he'd lost his wife just a few weeks earlier, and he wasn't handling it very well.
I think about him a lot. That apology and the conversation that followed meant the world to me, and has helped in ways I couldn't even have predicted since. It restored my faith in people. Wherever he is now, I hope he knows that.
(原创)24. Why did the old man first come into the shop?

B. Someone who cries very easily.
C. Someone who never apologizes.
D. Someone who rarely shows feelings.

A. They cleaned the laundry area together.
B. They went outside to play with the dog.

https://www.sciencealert.com/listening-to-music-has-a-surprising-impact-on-dementia-risk-study-shows
Listening to music into old age could reduce the risk of dementia(痴呆症)by almost 40 percent, a new study has found. It's based on data from 10,893 Australians aged 70 or older, who, at the time of sign-up, were living in retirement communities and had no diagnosis of dementia. They were asked about their music listening habits and whether they played an instrument.
Folks who "always" listened to music (as opposed to never, rarely, or sometimes listeners) were 39 percent less likely to develop dementia after at least three years of follow-up, and were 17 percent less likely to develop milder forms of cognitive impairments(认知障碍). They also performed better on tests of general cognition and episodic memory, which is important for recalling everyday events.
Those who were regularly picking up an instrument to make music were 35 percent less likely to develop dementia, but, unlike in other studies, there was no significant improvement for other kinds of cognitive impairments. People who both listened to and played music had a 33 percent reduced dementia risk, and a 22 percent reduced risk for unrelated cognitive impairments. Education level seemed to play a role, too.
"Music engagement benefits were strongest in those with higher education (16+ years) but showed inconsistent results in the middle education group (12–15 years)," the study's authors write.
The paper's lead author, public health researcher Emma Jaffa from Monash University in Australia, says these results suggest "music activities may be an accessible strategy for maintaining cognitive health in older adults, though cause-and-effect cannot be established."
While we don't know for sure if listening to music can really stave off dementia, hearing loss is a known risk factor for dementia, and research shows hearing aids can reduce cognitive decline. So there’s no harm in keeping your favorite songs on repeat.
"Listening to music activates a whole range of regions across your brain," Monash University psychiatrist(精神病学家) and senior author Joanne Ryan explained in a radio interview, "and so that's really giving you that cognitive stimulation, which is beneficial to help reduce your risk of dementia."
(原创)28. What benefit did “always” listening to music show?
A. It lowered the chance of getting dementia.
B. It completely prevented any memory loss.
C. It mainly improved physical coordination.
D. It worked better than playing instruments.
(原创)29. What did the study find about playing instruments regularly?
A. It was less effective than just listening.
B. It showed no benefits for brain health.
C. It reduced risks for all thinking problems.
D. It notably cut dementia risk but not others.
(原创)30. How does music help the brain according to the text?
A. By activating limited brain regions.
B. By mainly improving sleep quality.
C. By widely stimulating brain activity.
D. By replacing other mental exercises.

https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2025/10/what-if-ai-could-help-students-learn-not-just-do-assignments-for-them/
As Educators’ concerns are running high when it comes to AI and how it may destroy teaching and learning. Harvard professors are pioneering its use to actively enhance learning. Professors Greg Kestin and Kelly Miller are testing AI " tutor robots " in complex courses where personalized instruction is often impractical. These robots form part of a strategic approach that helps students identify knowledge gaps and progress autonomously.
When designed with research-backed principles, AI tutors can significantly boost learning outcomes while enriching classroom interactions, Miller emphasizes. Their study compared traditional lecture-based teaching with an AI-supported "flipped classroom" where students learn core lessons from the tailored robot on their own and bring questions to class.
Research shows students in AI-supported classes felt much more involved and motivated. A major reason, Miller explains, is that the AI can be customized to each individual. Traditional classrooms often have low engagement and little personal feedback, leaving students passive. With an AI tutor, they can learn at their own pace, ask endless questions anytime, and not worry about being judged.
And the robot should make students think and question, not think for them. Kestin warns that letting students freely use tools like ChatGPT for homework often leads to worse test results, because it replaces their own critical thinking. Instead, AI should offer hints, show ideas visually, help with data, or create practice problems.
Harvard has now set up its own AI helpers called HUbot and PingPong. Harvard Business School also uses a special tutor bot in its “Financial Reporting and Control” course. Current research is looking at what kinds of student-robot interactions help learning the most. Follow-up studies are checking the long-term effects, including how well students remember what they learn.
This work shows that when AI is carefully integrated, it can become more than just a productivity tool—it can become what Kestin calls a "thinking partner." By balancing technical ability with teaching wisdom, educators may turn AI from something seen as a threat into a force that drives more personalized, active, and fair learning experiences. The goal is never to replace teachers, but to strengthen their ability to meet students' diverse needs through intelligent support.
(原创)32. What is a major worry about AI in education stated at the beginning?
A. It could make teachers completely unemployed.
B. It might damage the process of teaching and learning.
C. It is not advanced enough to understand student needs.
D. It will make education too expensive for many families.
(原创)33. What is a key reason students felt more motivated in AI-supported classes?
A. There were no tests or exams in those classes.
B. They could use their personal smartphones freely.
C. The AI teacher was more humorous than human teachers.
D. The learning experience could be tailored for each learner.
(原创)34. What is a core function the AI tutor should have, according to Professor Kestin?
A. It should strictly control the pace of learning for all students.
B. It should replace traditional textbooks with interactive videos.
C. It should encourage students' own thinking rather than doing it for them.
D. It should complete homework assignments for students to save some time.
(原创)35. What is the final relationship hoped for between AI and teachers based on the text?
A. A cooperative relationship where AI improves teachers' abilities.
B. An independent relationship where both work in different fields.
C. A short-term relationship until AI can work completely on its own.
D. A competitive relationship where one will take the place of the other.

https://stanfordmag.org/contents/so-you-want-to-be-a-teacher
Do you want to be a teacher? What is it like to work in the classroom? Here is a typical day of my work in an Auckland primary-school classroom.
I try to get to work between 7 and 7:30. Our report time is 8:00, but being in the space helps me get ready for the day. I do more of my planning and preparation before the day instead of after the previous day. 36 Other teachers come in sometime between 7:30 and 8, and we’ll summary the previous day.
37 I check in on the conversations. I’ll do morning announcements, and at 9:00, we start with our reading block. As a second-grade teacher, I do foundational literacy, math, and ELA [English language arts]. Students come in at different levels, so in addition to whole-class instruction, I also organize students into smaller teams to meet the needs of all learners, providing extra chances for active participation.
At 10 a.m., we go to break, and you can see their identities forming, watching them play. Whatever they choose to do in this free 15 minutes is so interesting. I’m seeing how they socialize themselves—who plays what sport, who chooses to do what. 38
After break, we do math, which is also very cooperative. Next, there is lunchtime. This is my second-year teaching, so a lot of my students from last year will ask if they can have lunch with me. 39 I think it’s like, if we were walking around the same block, I might have walked around that block a couple of more times.
After lunch they go to lunch break, and at 12:30, they come back in for ELA, which is like social studies. At 2:45 there’s dismissal and we’ll wait with the students until their parents pick them up. 40 So, some days after school I’d be in an hourlong meeting on topics like instructional leadership, culture, or climate. Meetings are over around 4:15 p.m., and I will leave school, at the latest, 5 o’clock.
A. I really encourage cooperation.
B. Sometimes we’ll just do personal check-ins.
C. I’m also on a couple of leadership teams at my site.
D. All those things matter for who they will become later in life.
E. I really see it as an opportunity to just get to know the students better.
F. I’m writing my objectives on the whiteboard, looking through my plans.
G. At 8:30, I get my students, bring them into the classroom, and we start our day with breakfast.

A few years ago, my partner and I took his young son to the park. On a sudden 41 , I decided to bring out the kites I had stored in my trunk(后备箱), hoping to offer the boy a 42 pleasure. Then we get our son going and were just 43 on the side. It was then that my partner shared with me that he had never 44 a kite before.
He had an extremely 45 childhood so I could understand why. But I still felt so sad to think of the many things some 46 that they get to do as kid, others had never done.
47 , I also had an X-Wing Star Wars kite in the trunk. I hadn't used because particularly 48 to put together, but he didn't 49 at all. He had so much 50 with it and I nearly cried getting to be there for it.
Just the other day, a strong 51 swept through town. I noticed a single kite 52 high while driving down the road. I smiled so big but then I starting giggling(咯咯的笑) to see that the person 53 the kite was none other than this big man by himself flying a kite.
It truly shows that you don’t always need impressive or costly things to bring someone 54 . Sometimes, you might just need a 55 .

第二节 (满分25分) (原创)
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 son Jack was in sixth grade, he often played basketball after school at the community court near our apartment. One rainy evening in March, he came home carrying a small, wet cat under his jacket. The cat had orange fur with white paws and large, trusting blue eyes. It was shaking from the cold, and Jack immediately asked if we could let it stay.
The cat looked young, maybe a year old, and had no identification. I felt torn. I knew the right thing was to check for an owner, but seeing how happy Jack was made me pause. I thought about putting up flyers, but secretly hoped no one would claim her. After all, I reasoned, a responsible owner would not let their pet out in such weather.
We dried her off and she settled in quickly. Jack named her Sunny. She was calm and loved to nap in patches of sunlight on the living room floor. A few days later, a feeling I couldn't ignore made me check the online neighborhood group. My heart sank when I saw a post from a family desperately searching for their missing orange cat named Marigold(金盏花), last seen near the school. The description was a perfect match.
For a moment, I closed the webpage without saving it. I didn't tell Jack or my wife. Sunny had already found a place in our home. She followed Jack around and slept at the foot of his bed. But a quiet voice inside kept asking me what was truly right. I knew, deep down, I had to contact that family.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
