第二部分 阅读(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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
A new study by AI company Anthropic gives clearer answers about which jobs are most affected by artificial intelligence. The research introduces a new measure of AI displacement risk, observed exposure, which shows how much AI is actually used in real work (observed coverage), not what AI could do in theory(theoretical coverage).
A job’s exposure is higher if:
Its tasks are theoretically possible with AI
Its tasks see significant usage in the Anthropic Economic Index
Its tasks are performed in work-related contexts
It has a relatively higher share of automated use patterns or API implementation
Its AI-impacted tasks make up a larger share of the overall role
The chart below shows key findings for selected occupational categories.
Theoretical Capability and Observed Usage by Occupational Category
The study found a large gap between AI’s theoretical capability and real-world use. In fact, AI is far from reaching its theoretical capability: actual coverage remains a tiny share of what is possible. However, occupations with higher observed exposure are expected by the BLS (美国劳工统计局) to grow less through 2034. The research finds no consistent increase in unemployment for highly exposed workers since late 2022, though it finds evidence that hiring of younger workers (ages 22 — 25) has slowed in exposed occupations.
1. What does the measure“observed exposure” focus on?
A. AI’s theoretical capabilities. B. AI’s real usage in workplaces.
C. AI’s development in the future. D. AI’s adoption speed across industries.
2. Which occupational category has the lowest observed exposure to AI?
A. Office & admin. B. Computer & math.
C. Education & library. D. Architecture & engineering.
3. How has AI affected young workers (22 — 25) in exposed occupations?
A. Their hiring pace has slowed down. B. They have moved to low-exposure jobs.
C. Their unemployment has increased sharply. D. They have a better chance in less exposed jobs.
B
Think of a firefighter. What are you imagining? A man? Strong? Handsome and heroic? The reality is starkly different. But it’s an image that’s deeply rooted in our social mind. And that means that many women don’t even consider a career as a firefighter.
I became a firefighter when I was 18 and am now one of the most senior firefighters in the country. At present, only five percent of firefighters are women. The contrast is even more noticeable in leadership roles like mine. Did you know that there are more Chief Fire Officers called Chris than there are female Chief Fire Officers?
This matters, because being a firefighter is hard. We need the best of the best to serve with us. We are in the privileged position of being trusted by those in their very worst moments. Those people deserve the best but, at the moment, we’re only choosing from the group of applicants who are attracted by the stereotype (刻板印象). We need to widen that pool.
Gender does not determine competence. In the fire service, our greatest strength is our ability to work as a team, and a good team needs a range of skills. I’ ve lost count of the number of difficult rescues where being small and nimble meant I was the right person for the job. I’ ve crawled into twisted vehicles to give life-saving first-aid to those trapped inside, for example. And it’s not all about size and strength. It’s about being calm and able to comfort those who are frightened and vulnerable. You need to be able to make decisions that could affect whether people live or die, while at the same time engaging with their emotions. It’s not just about what’s in your muscles but what’s in your head.
I love my job, but being a woman in a typically alpha-male profession has not always been easy. There have been doubters — those who tell me that it’s not a job for women or that I don’t deserve my place. But they’ re wrong. And they’ re in the minority. And that kind of experience isn’t limited to my industry. It’s a battle with the unfair treatment of women that exists within our society. We must all do more to change that, so that our daughters have the same opportunities as our sons.
4. What does the author imply by mentioning“more Chief Fire Officers called Chris”?
A. The name Chris is very popular. B. Chris has made great contributions.
C. Women are rare in leadership roles. D. Leaders are in short supply.
5. What is the author’s attitude toward current recruitment?
A. Critical of narrow sources. B. Proud of high standards.
C. Worried about training quality. D. Confident in current results.
6. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. Gender equality ensures team success. B. Diverse skills lead to effective rescue work.
C. Emotional support outweighs first aid. D. Firefighting downplays physical strength.
7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?
A. To complain about unfair treatment. B. To share her personal rescue experiences.
C. To break gender stereotypes in careers. D. To compare male and female abilities.
C
TikTok and Instagram feeds are filled with creators boiling apples for digestion, changing iced coffee for hot water, scraping their faces with jade (玉石) gua sha tools, or explaining why your body’s“yin and yang” might be out of balance. Practices rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), from herbal teas to tai chi, are increasingly appearing in wellness routines far beyond China.
Why has TCM gained such popularity outside of China? Traditional Chinese Medicine approaches health differently from much of Western medicine. The goal is prevention and harmony rather than simply reacting to illness. That philosophy is part of the appeal. At a time when wellness culture often feels too commercialized,Chinese medicine offers a slower and more integrated approach to health.
Against this background, Chinese wellness practices began circulating more widely online, which raises familiar questions about cultural translation. On social media, complex traditions are often boiled down into bite-sized habits; drink hot water, boil ginger, avoid“cold foods.” When practices that developed over centuries are reduced to quick tips, the philosophical foundations behind them can disappear.
There are also medical debates. While many people use TCM for relaxation, balance or preventative care,scientists note that some herbal treatments lack consistent clinical evidence and can carry risks if misused.
Still, the popularity of Chinese wellness reflects something deeper than a passing trend. It taps into a wider search for balance in an era of burnout, screen fatigue and endless pursuit of self-perfection. Whether the internet is embracing the philosophy behind these traditions or simply borrowing their appearance remains an open question. But for now, Chinese wellness has entered the global self-care conversation.
8. What attracts international attention to TCM?
A. Quick relief from symptoms. B. Gradual and comprehensive model.
C. Use of fashionable jade tools. D. Social media wellness campaigns.
9. What is the problem with Chinese wellness practices spreading online?
A. They oppose healthy daily habits. B. They make language translation errors.
C. They push terrible drinks and diets. D. They oversimplify philosophical tradition.
10. How does the author view Chinese wellness in the last paragraph?
A. Its popularity overcomes concerns. B. Its rise shows Eastern wisdom.
C. Its depth awaits broader acceptance. D. Its global place is fully secured.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Chinese Wellness: A Global Lifestyle Trend
B. Modern Poison: Ancient Wellness Philosophy
C. TCM vs. Western Medicine: A Medical Debate
D. Chinese Healing: The Development of Medicine

Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are among the most biodiverse and ecologically vital ecosystems on Earth, yet they face severe threats from climate change, ocean acidification, pollution, and overfishing. As reef decline accelerates, restoration efforts have expanded dramatically, including the use of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to create heat-resistant corals. Yet a key challenge remains: once these modified corals are released into the ocean, how can researchers track them over multiple generations and space to assess the true impact of restoration?
The research team, led by scientists from the Australian Institute of Marine Science and the University of Western Australia, have developed a pioneering new method — a combination of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing and environmental DNA (eDNA) technology, allowing for individual-level identification over multiple generations.
The scientists used CRISPR-Cas9 to place unique, heritable genetic barcodes into the DNA of corals.These barcodes are stable, and do not disturb normal biological functions. Each edited coral carries a distinct genetic marker that can be passed down to its young for multiple generations. The key innovation is the ability to detect these genetic markers using eDNA — small amounts of DNA left behind by organisms in their surrounding environment. By sampling seawater near restored reefs, researchers can identify specific barcode-carrying corals without disturbing the reef itself.
In field trials on the Great Barrier Reef, the team successfully tracked 200 barcode-edited corals for 18months. They detected the spread of young corals over several kilometers and confirmed that they had produced new corals into a second generation.“For the first time, we can accurately measure survival, reproduction,and connectivity in restored coral populations — critical data for making conservation efforts more effective,”said lead author Max Moonier.
While the results are promising, researchers emphasize that careful risk assessments will be necessary before widespread application. Future work will evaluate potential interactions between edited and wild corals,ensure no unintended ecological consequences, and improve methods for broader application across coral species. Ultimately, this approach provides a critical step toward effective coral reef restoration in an era of rapid climate change. The approach provides an example showing that precisely monitoring restoration outcomes is achievable, with broad use across species and ecosystems.
12. What did the research team’s method mainly solve?
A. Increasing coral populations. B. Editing coral genes to resist heat.
C. Collecting eDNA from ocean water. D. Tracking modified corals in the wild.
13. What does the term “genetic barcodes” refer to in paragraph 3?
A. Disturbing changes to corals’ DNA.
B. Unique eDNA collected from seawater.
C. Harmless markers put into corals’ DNA.
D. Modified genes added to improve corals.
14. How do researchers monitor edited corals using eDNA?
A. By attaching physical labels to corals.
B. By analyzing corals’ genetic structures.
C. By catching and testing individual corals.
D. By testing seawater to spot marked corals.
15. What can be inferred about the future of the technology?
A. It will stop reef decline worldwide. B. It may be used in other ecosystems.
C. It has no potential risks to ecosystems. D. It could replace traditional restoration methods.

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。
In a world driven by test scores and productivity, art is often seen as a luxury or an elective. ____16____ It shows that students engaged in regular artistic activities — such as drawing, music, or theater — develop stronger creative thinking and emotional intelligence. One study even found that art participants scored 20%higher on empathy tests.
Why does art have such a powerful effect on young minds? ____17____ When a child paints or plays an instrument, the brain must coordinate perception, movement, memory, and emotion all at once. A 2024Swiss study of over 2,000 children found that those receiving regular arts training consistently outperformed their peers in problem-solving tasks.
Another benefit is that art provides a safe space for emotional expression. Children often struggle to put complex feelings into words. ____18____ Through colors, sounds, or movements, they can express what they cannot otherwise share. This process helps them understand and manage their own emotions — a skill vital for mental health.
The value of art extends well into adulthood as well. In an age when AI can generate content from existing information, uniquely human strengths — imagination, original thinking, moral judgment — are becoming more valuable. ____19____ Students with art backgrounds learn to approach problems without ready-made answers.They embrace uncertainty, which prepares them for careers that no machine can replace.
____20____Policymakers and parents should no longer see art as an extra thing, but as an essential part of the school curriculum. Art, in essence, is about making better human beings — more creative, more empathetic, and more resilient in facing life’s challenges.
A. But recent research suggests this common assumption is mistaken.
B. Art gives them another language to express their own inner world.
C. The answer to this question is found in how the human brain works.
D. Art education nurtures exactly these essential human qualities.
E. Therefore, art is a wonderful source of joy and growth for children.
F. That is why art education deserves a central place in our schools.
G. Yet many schools continue to cut art programs due to tight budget limits.

47. 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。
It was a hot and sticky July afternoon in Brooklyn. But the scorching (炙热) sun wasn’t the real reason I was upset. The one-year anniversary of my mother’s death was approaching, and I didn’t know how I was going to handle it. She had died suddenly, after a late-stage cancer diagnosis. Over the past year, I had only begun to accept the reality that I would never feel her close again.
Walking down the familiar streets, I passed the last café we had sat in together. I could almost hear her voice asking me if I had put on sunscreen before going out. She had visited me often from Pennsylvania, always emerging from the bus in a colorful summer dress, a wide-brimmed (宽檐) hat on her head, ready to see the latest Broadway play or try the newest Italian restaurant. We never missed the outdoor concerts in the park, where she would take care of me like I was still a child. “Where’s your hat, Celeste?” she would say, adjusting my collar. “That sun demands a hat! Do you want to get sunstroke?” I would roll my eyes and tell her I was fine, but she would never let it go until I put one on.
I reached the corner, my eyes stinging (刺痛) with more than just the sweat from the heat. Out of nowhere, a woman called out to me.
“Where’s your hat?” she asked.
The words hit me like a physical blow. She was in her 70s, elegantly dressed, with a charming straw hat that matched her clothes. As she approached, I admired her earrings and necklace —— a perfect summer look, like one my mother would have worn.
“Where’s your hat, young lady?” the woman asked again, her voice warm but firm. “That sun demands a hat!”
注意: 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
I stood frozen on the sidewalk, my throat tight.

【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍Anthropic新研究提出的“观察暴露度”指标及AI对各职业的实际影响。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The research introduces a new measure of AI displacement risk, observed exposure, which shows how much AI is actually used in real work(observed coverage), not what AI could do in theory(theoretical coverage).(该研究提出了衡量AI替代风险的新指标——“观察暴露度”,反映AI在实际工作中的真实使用量,而非理论能力)”可知,该指标聚焦AI在工作场景中的实际使用情况。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。 根据图表“Theoretical Capability and Observed Usage by Occupational Category”所示的数据可知,在所列的职业类别中,Architecture & engineering(建筑与工程) 的“Observed Usage(观察使用率)”离中心最近、实际覆盖率最低的,即AI在该领域的实际渗透率和应用程度最低。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The research finds no consistent increase in unemployment for highly exposed workers since late 2022,though it finds evidence that hiring of younger workers (ages 22 — 25) has slowed in exposed occupations.(研究发现,自2022年底以来,高暴露职业的失业率并未持续上升,但有证据表明,这些职业对年轻工人(22-25岁)的招聘速度有所放缓)”可知,AI导致这类职业对年轻工人的招聘节奏变慢。

Think of a firefighter. What are you imagining? A man? Strong? Handsome and heroic? The reality is starkly different. But it’s an image that’s deeply rooted in our social mind. And that means that many women don’t even consider a career as a firefighter.
I became a firefighter when I was 18 and am now one of the most senior firefighters in the country. At present, only five percent of firefighters are women. The contrast is even more noticeable in leadership roles like mine. Did you know that there are more Chief Fire Officers called Chris than there are female Chief Fire Officers?
This matters, because being a firefighter is hard. We need the best of the best to serve with us. We are in the privileged position of being trusted by those in their very worst moments. Those people deserve the best but, at the moment, we’re only choosing from the group of applicants who are attracted by the stereotype (刻板印象). We need to widen that pool.
Gender does not determine competence. In the fire service, our greatest strength is our ability to work as a team, and a good team needs a range of skills. I’ ve lost count of the number of difficult rescues where being small and nimble meant I was the right person for the job. I’ ve crawled into twisted vehicles to give life-saving first-aid to those trapped inside, for example. And it’s not all about size and strength. It’s about being calm and able to comfort those who are frightened and vulnerable. You need to be able to make decisions that could affect whether people live or die, while at the same time engaging with their emotions. It’s not just about what’s in your muscles but what’s in your head.
I love my job, but being a woman in a typically alpha-male profession has not always been easy. There have been doubters — those who tell me that it’s not a job for women or that I don’t deserve my place. But they’ re wrong. And they’ re in the minority. And that kind of experience isn’t limited to my industry. It’s a battle with the unfair treatment of women that exists within our society. We must all do more to change that, so that our daughters have the same opportunities as our sons.

TikTok and Instagram feeds are filled with creators boiling apples for digestion, changing iced coffee for hot water, scraping their faces with jade (玉石) gua sha tools, or explaining why your body’s“yin and yang” might be out of balance. Practices rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), from herbal teas to tai chi, are increasingly appearing in wellness routines far beyond China.
Why has TCM gained such popularity outside of China? Traditional Chinese Medicine approaches health differently from much of Western medicine. The goal is prevention and harmony rather than simply reacting to illness. That philosophy is part of the appeal. At a time when wellness culture often feels too commercialized,Chinese medicine offers a slower and more integrated approach to health.
Against this background, Chinese wellness practices began circulating more widely online, which raises familiar questions about cultural translation. On social media, complex traditions are often boiled down into bite-sized habits; drink hot water, boil ginger, avoid“cold foods.” When practices that developed over centuries are reduced to quick tips, the philosophical foundations behind them can disappear.
There are also medical debates. While many people use TCM for relaxation, balance or preventative care,scientists note that some herbal treatments lack consistent clinical evidence and can carry risks if misused.
Still, the popularity of Chinese wellness reflects something deeper than a passing trend. It taps into a wider search for balance in an era of burnout, screen fatigue and endless pursuit of self-perfection. Whether the internet is embracing the philosophy behind these traditions or simply borrowing their appearance remains an open question. But for now, Chinese wellness has entered the global self-care conversation.
8. What attracts international attention to TCM?
A. Quick relief from symptoms. B. Gradual and comprehensive model.
C. Use of fashionable jade tools. D. Social media wellness campaigns.
9. What is the problem with Chinese wellness practices spreading online?
A. They oppose healthy daily habits. B. They make language translation errors.
C. They push terrible drinks and diets. D. They oversimplify philosophical tradition.
10. How does the author view Chinese wellness in the last paragraph?
A. Its popularity overcomes concerns. B. Its rise shows Eastern wisdom.
C. Its depth awaits broader acceptance. D. Its global place is fully secured.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Chinese Wellness: A Global Lifestyle Trend
B. Modern Poison: Ancient Wellness Philosophy
C. TCM vs. Western Medicine: A Medical Debate
D. Chinese Healing: The Development of Medicine
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍中医养生海外走红的原因、现存争议及作者对其全球发展的看法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Traditional Chinese Medicine approaches health differently from much of Western medicine. The goal is prevention and harmony rather than simply reacting to illness. That philosophy is part of the appeal.(中医的健康理念与大多数西医截然不同。它的目标是预防与和谐,而不仅仅是被动应对疾病。这种哲学思想正是其魅力所在)”可知,中医循序渐进、注重整体和谐的全面模式吸引了国际关注。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“On social media, complex traditions are often boiled down into bite-sized habits; drink hot water, boil ginger, avoid“cold foods.” When practices that developed over centuries are reduced to quick tips, the philosophical foundations behind them can disappear.(在社交媒体上,复杂的传统往往被简化成碎片化的习惯:喝热水、煮姜、忌“寒凉食物”。当历经数百年发展而来的实践被缩减为快速小贴士时,其背后的哲学基础便可能消失)”可知,中医养生在网上传播的问题在于过度简化了其哲学传统。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Whether the internet is embracing the philosophy behind these traditions or simply borrowing their appearance remains an open question.(互联网究竟是在接纳这些传统背后的哲学,还是仅仅借用其表象,仍是一个悬而未决的问题)”可知,作者认为中医养生的深层内涵仍有待更广泛的理解和接受。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇描述了TikTok和Instagram上流行的中医养生法,接着分析了其流行原因、面临的争议及文化简化问题,最后指出其已成为全球自我保健对话的一部分。A项“中国健康:全球生活方式的趋势”最能概括这一核心话题。

Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are among the most biodiverse and ecologically vital ecosystems on Earth, yet they face severe threats from climate change, ocean acidification, pollution, and overfishing. As reef decline accelerates, restoration efforts have expanded dramatically, including the use of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to create heat-resistant corals. Yet a key challenge remains: once these modified corals are released into the ocean, how can researchers track them over multiple generations and space to assess the true impact of restoration?
The research team, led by scientists from the Australian Institute of Marine Science and the University of Western Australia, have developed a pioneering new method — a combination of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing and environmental DNA (eDNA) technology, allowing for individual-level identification over multiple generations.
The scientists used CRISPR-Cas9 to place unique, heritable genetic barcodes into the DNA of corals.These barcodes are stable, and do not disturb normal biological functions. Each edited coral carries a distinct genetic marker that can be passed down to its young for multiple generations. The key innovation is the ability to detect these genetic markers using eDNA — small amounts of DNA left behind by organisms in their surrounding environment. By sampling seawater near restored reefs, researchers can identify specific barcode-carrying corals without disturbing the reef itself.
In field trials on the Great Barrier Reef, the team successfully tracked 200 barcode-edited corals for 18months. They detected the spread of young corals over several kilometers and confirmed that they had produced new corals into a second generation.“For the first time, we can accurately measure survival, reproduction,and connectivity in restored coral populations — critical data for making conservation efforts more effective,”said lead author Max Moonier.
While the results are promising, researchers emphasize that careful risk assessments will be necessary before widespread application. Future work will evaluate potential interactions between edited and wild corals,ensure no unintended ecological consequences, and improve methods for broader application across coral species. Ultimately, this approach provides a critical step toward effective coral reef restoration in an era of rapid climate change. The approach provides an example showing that precisely monitoring restoration outcomes is achievable, with broad use across species and ecosystems.
12. What did the research team’s method mainly solve?
A. Increasing coral populations. B. Editing coral genes to resist heat.
C. Collecting eDNA from ocean water. D. Tracking modified corals in the wild.
13. What does the term “genetic barcodes” refer to in paragraph 3?
A. Disturbing changes to corals’ DNA.
B. Unique eDNA collected from seawater.
C. Harmless markers put into corals’ DNA.
D. Modified genes added to improve corals.
14. How do researchers monitor edited corals using eDNA?
A. By attaching physical labels to corals.
B. By analyzing corals’ genetic structures.
C. By catching and testing individual corals.
D. By testing seawater to spot marked corals.
15. What can be inferred about the future of the technology?
A. It will stop reef decline worldwide. B. It may be used in other ecosystems.
C. It has no potential risks to ecosystems. D. It could replace traditional restoration methods.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet a key challenge remains: once these modified corals are released into the ocean, how can researchers track them over multiple generations and space to assess the true impact of restoration?(然而,一个关键的挑战仍然存在:一旦这些经过改造的珊瑚被释放到海洋中,研究人员如何在多代和空间中追踪它们,以评估恢复的真正影响?)”及第二段“.The research team, led by scientists from the Australian Institute of Marine Science and the University of Western Australia, have developed a pioneering new method — a combination of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing and environmental DNA (eDNA) technology, allowing for individual-level identification over multiple generations.(由澳大利亚海洋科学研究所和西澳大利亚大学的科学家领导的研究团队,开发出一种开创性的新方法——将CRISPR-Cas9基因编辑技术与环境DNA技术相结合,从而实现对多代珊瑚的个体层面识别)”可知,该方法主要解决了在野外追踪改良珊瑚的问题。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“The scientists used CRISPR-Cas9 to place unique, heritable genetic barcodes into the DNA of corals. These barcodes are stable, and do not disturb normal biological functions.(科学家们使用CRISPR-Cas9将独特的、可遗传的genetic barcodes植入珊瑚的DNA中。这些条形码很稳定,不会干扰正常的生物功能)”可知,“genetic barcodes”是被放入珊瑚DNA中的、稳定的、不干扰正常生物功能的独特可遗传标记,即无害的标记。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“By sampling seawater near restored reefs, researchers can identify specific barcode-carrying corals without disturbing the reef itself.(通过采集修复礁附近的海水样本,研究人员无需打扰珊瑚礁本身就能识别出携带特定条形码的珊瑚)”可知,他们是通过检测海水中的环境DNA来监测的。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The approach provides an example showing that precisely monitoring restoration outcomes is achievable, with broad use across species and ecosystems.(该方法提供了一个范例,表明精确监测修复成果是可以实现的,并可在物种和生态系统中广泛应用)”可知,这项技术未来可能会应用于其他生态系统。

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。
In a world driven by test scores and productivity, art is often seen as a luxury or an elective. ____16____ It shows that students engaged in regular artistic activities — such as drawing, music, or theater — develop stronger creative thinking and emotional intelligence. One study even found that art participants scored 20%higher on empathy tests.
Why does art have such a powerful effect on young minds? ____17____ When a child paints or plays an instrument, the brain must coordinate perception, movement, memory, and emotion all at once. A 2024Swiss study of over 2,000 children found that those receiving regular arts training consistently outperformed their peers in problem-solving tasks.
Another benefit is that art provides a safe space for emotional expression. Children often struggle to put complex feelings into words. ____18____ Through colors, sounds, or movements, they can express what they cannot otherwise share. This process helps them understand and manage their own emotions — a skill vital for mental health.
The value of art extends well into adulthood as well. In an age when AI can generate content from existing information, uniquely human strengths — imagination, original thinking, moral judgment — are becoming more valuable. ____19____ Students with art backgrounds learn to approach problems without ready-made answers.They embrace uncertainty, which prepares them for careers that no machine can replace.
____20____Policymakers and parents should no longer see art as an extra thing, but as an essential part of the school curriculum. Art, in essence, is about making better human beings — more creative, more empathetic, and more resilient in facing life’s challenges.
A. But recent research suggests this common assumption is mistaken.
B. Art gives them another language to express their own inner world.
C. The answer to this question is found in how the human brain works.
D. Art education nurtures exactly these essential human qualities.
E. Therefore, art is a wonderful source of joy and growth for children.
F. That is why art education deserves a central place in our schools.
G. Yet many schools continue to cut art programs due to tight budget limits.

【答案】Good afternoon, everyone!
I’m very honored to speak on behalf of our school students in this online reading salon.
In our school, most students have formed good reading habits. In our spare time, we actively read various books ranging from literary works to popular science books. Many of us keep reading journals and exchange reading feelings with classmates regularly.
For me, reading is an indispensable part of life. It broadens my horizons and enriches my knowledge. Besides, it calms my mind, cultivates my thinking ability and helps me grow into a better person.
I hope we can share wonderful books and learn from each other today.
Thank you!

47. 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。
It was a hot and sticky July afternoon in Brooklyn. But the scorching (炙热) sun wasn’t the real reason I was upset. The one-year anniversary of my mother’s death was approaching, and I didn’t know how I was going to handle it. She had died suddenly, after a late-stage cancer diagnosis. Over the past year, I had only begun to accept the reality that I would never feel her close again.
Walking down the familiar streets, I passed the last café we had sat in together. I could almost hear her voice asking me if I had put on sunscreen before going out. She had visited me often from Pennsylvania, always emerging from the bus in a colorful summer dress, a wide-brimmed (宽檐) hat on her head, ready to see the latest Broadway play or try the newest Italian restaurant. We never missed the outdoor concerts in the park, where she would take care of me like I was still a child. “Where’s your hat, Celeste?” she would say, adjusting my collar. “That sun demands a hat! Do you want to get sunstroke?” I would roll my eyes and tell her I was fine, but she would never let it go until I put one on.
I reached the corner, my eyes stinging (刺痛) with more than just the sweat from the heat. Out of nowhere, a woman called out to me.
“Where’s your hat?” she asked.
The words hit me like a physical blow. She was in her 70s, elegantly dressed, with a charming straw hat that matched her clothes. As she approached, I admired her earrings and necklace —— a perfect summer look, like one my mother would have worn.
“Where’s your hat, young lady?” the woman asked again, her voice warm but firm. “That sun demands a hat!”
注意: 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I stood frozen on the sidewalk, my throat tight. Tears blurred my vision as the familiar words echoed in my ears. For a moment, I was no longer in Brooklyn; I was back in the park with Mom. I managed a weak smile at the woman, my hands trembling slightly. “I must have forgotten it at home,” I whispered, my voice choked with emotion. She nodded approvingly, her eyes softening with understanding. We chatted briefly about the heatwave, and I felt an overwhelming sense of peace wash over me, as if my mother had sent this stranger to check on me.
Before we parted outside the café, I felt something light land on my head. I reached up instinctively and touched a wide-brimmed straw hat, identical to the one she wore. “You shouldn't walk around looking like a tomato,” she teased gently, adjusting the brim. “Your mother wouldn't approve.” I burst into tears, laughing and crying at the same time. Watching her walk away, I adjusted the hat just like Mom used to do. The weight of the anniversary felt lighter, replaced by a sudden warmth that shielded me from the scorching sun.
