B When a powerful snowstorm buried parts of the Wildwood Zoo under more than two feet of snow,a dedicated staff member refused to leave his post.Kyle Kirk,the zoo's manager in Marshfield,Wisconsin,spent three straight nights at the facility,making sure every animal-across all 27 species-was safe and cared for during the extreme weather. "This is the most snow I think I've ever seen in my whole life,"said Kirk,describing the intensity of the storm.At one point,conditions were so severe that he was completely trapped inside the staff building."There was a solid hour that I really couldn't help anybody because I was completely trapped by snow." But as soon as he was able to get outside,Kirk got to work.He began digging out smaller animals that had been buried under the snow,including quail,prairie dogs,and skunks()."I was able to dig them out.Our skunks were completely snowed in,"he said."Despite the serious situation,there was even a moment of humor.It was hilarious because I think our skunks thought that I brought the snow.They were stomping() angrily as if to say,Oh,you can take away the snow now.'" Kirk carved pathways through enclosures()so animals like porcupines and skunks could move around again,and he made sure foxes-who had already shed their winter coats-were warm enough to handle the sudden freeze.Meanwhile,some of the zoo's larger residents took the storm calmly.The Kodiak bears hung around comfortably,and the lynx seemed right at home in the deep snow. For Kirk,staying through the storm wasn'ta question-it was part of the job."A lot of other people can call in sick or get snowed in,but simply,I can't"he said."There's really no reason to have these animals if we're not going to care for them in the best possible way." 4.Why did Kirk spend three nights continuously in the zoo?

C AI art,a new form of art created by artificial intelligence technology,has become one of the most popular art trends in 2026.It refers to art works-paintings,music,sculptures and even literature-generated by Al programs under human guidance,and it is changing the way people create and appreciate art. AI art creation has its unique advantages.First,it is highly efficient:a professional AI program can generate hundreds of art drafts in a few hours,which saves a lot of time for artists. Second,it is creative:AI can combine different art styles and cultural elements that human artists may not think of,such as mixing Chinese ink wash painting with Western abstract art,or combining 2026 horse year folk art with future sci-fi elements.Third,it is accessible:ordinary people who have no professional art skills can also create their own AI art works by inputting simple keywords,making art creation no longer a"privilege"for artists. However,Al art also faces some heated discussions and challenges.Some people argue that AI art lacks"human emotion"-art is a reflection of human feelings and experiences,but AI can only create works based on data and algorithms(计算程序)，without real thoughts and emotions.Others worry about copyright issues:it is difficult to define who the real creator is when an Al generates an art work based on thousands of existing works. In fact,AI art is not a replacement for human art,but a new partner.More and more artists now use Al as a tool to assist their creation-they use AI to generate drafts,and then add their own emotions and ideas to polish the works.For intangible()cultural heritage protection,AI also plays a key role:it can digitize ancient art works to prevent them from being lost,and help young inheritors()innovate traditional art forms. In the new era,the fusion of AI and art is an inevitable trend.What we need to do is to make good use of AI technology,guide its healthy development,and let it work with human creativity to create more wonderful art works for the world. 8.What is the main feature of AI art creation according to paragraph 2? A.It is slow but creative. B.It can only create painting works. C.It is only for professional artists. D.It is efficient and accessible. 9.What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A.The advantages of AI art in 2026. The challenges Al art is facing now. C.The popular AI art trends this year. D.The ways to create AI art works easily. 10.What can we learn about AI art from the passage? A.Al art has replaced human art in many fields. B.AI can create art works without human guidance. C.AI art has no copyright issues at all. D.AI can digitize ancient art works for heritage protection 11.Which of the following is the author's attitude towards AI art? A.Negative. B.Supportive. C.Uninterested. D.Doubtful. D Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ),where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules(多金属结核)are packed with cobalt(钴).Seabed-mining companies promote them as"a battery in a rock"and"the easiest way to solve climate change."They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles. Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure.Marine (biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5.000 unique species in the darkness.The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity.A company claimed to have found a solution to minimize the damage to the ecology and has already trialed a 25-ton collector robot designed to harvest these nodules.However,a 2023 study shows it can cause permanent destruction in the area. Commercial mining is not yet permitted in international waters.The International Seabed Authority (ISA)is still determining how,and under what conditions,mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate,its 168 member states still lack formal agreement.While companies advocate using nodule-collecting robots,437 scientists from 44 countries demand an immediate stop.ISA studies confirm that just 10%mining of the CCZ may wipe out 50%of its species. Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries.In March,several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are "completely understood".Meanwhile. several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the switch,recycling up to 95% of metals from used batteries."Why rush to mine the ocean for metals becoming outdated?" said battery expert Gavin Harper. On June 8,21 marine scientists from 8 universities finished a six-week research in the CCZ and packed up seafloor samples to take back to their labs for further analysis."An assessment of the mining's impact will take years of research,"says Andrew from Edinburgh. "I'm trying to get the best environmental data.And then it's up to society to make the decision to go ahead." 12.Why are the nodules called"a battery in a rock"? A.They own battery-like structures. 在/Q B.They have recharging qualities. C.They contain valuable metals. D.They generate renewable power. 13.What can be inferred about the ISA? A.It is guarded about seabed mining. B.It prioritizes economic interests. C.It opposes commercial operations. D.It requires more technical support 14.What does the author want to illustrate in Paragraph 4? A.Deep-sea mining meets demands. B.Carmakers reuse battery materials. C.Seabed mining for cobalt can wait. D.Battery recycling needs promoting. 15.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Marine Mining.a Green Solution B.Cobalt,the Future of Batteries C.CCZ,the Treasure Unknown? D.Ocean Metals,an Ocean Risk? 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。 Experiencing bad dreams every night can be horrifying for anybody.Bad dreams can disturb the sleep and make a person feel stressed throughout the next day.16 Before knowing how to get rid of bad dreams,we need to understand what can result in them.Researches have shown that when a person is under some sort of physical or mental stress,he is more likely to get bad dreams and disturbed sleep.17For instance.if you're overworked,learn to take things slow.Don't be ambitious to the point that it starts affecting your health.

That was really comforting!It was the day of the poetry festival.and I was excited.At my old school,I had won the poetry award every year.I'm horrible at sports,and too shy to be popular-but I do write good poetry,although I never told anyone here about it yet. The poem I wrote for the Edison Festival was about my dad.I wished I would surprise my classmates and Mrs.Baker,my English teacher. When Mrs.Baker called on me,I was so nervous that I had to swallow()about ten times before I could speak.But once I started,I didn't even bother to look at my paper.I'd spent so much time perfecting the rhymes that I knew the poem by heart. I had just started the third line when I noticed Mrs.Baker's expression change.She looked at me with a mixture of appreciation and disbelief.I stopped in the middle of a word and waited for her to say something. "Linda,you are supposed to be reading a poem you made up yourself,not reciting something you learned..That is called plagiarism(剽窃)！m "Oh,but it's an original one.I did make it up,it's about my dad."I heard a"Yeah,right!" from somewhere behind me,and someone else laughed.I opened my mouth to explain,but no words came out. "Perhaps you could step out and gather your thoughts,and when you feel ready,we can discuss this with a clear mind,"said Mrs.Baker. I'd been standing outside for 5 minutes when Mr.Jordan came over to ask me what happened. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1:Almost in tears,I poured out the whole story.
