Dear Jenny,
I’m glad to hear that our English club is collecting ideas for the upcoming May Day activity.
After careful consideration, I would like to choose Fruit Picking as our activity. On one hand, fruit picking can help us get close to nature and relax ourselves after long-term study. On the other hand, it offers a good chance to practice our oral English while working with partners. Besides, it can let us experience the joy of labor, which is the true meaning of May Day.
In short, Fruit Picking is a meaningful and interesting activity. I hope my choice can be helpful to you.
Yours,
Li Hua
写作 第二节(25)
“This is the logbook from our first trip,” Grandpa said softly, handing it to Leo.
Leo opened the worn notebook carefully, as if holding a treasure. The pages were yellowed with age, filled with Grandpa’s youthful handwriting. There were records of weather conditions, the types of fish they caught, and even a small, pressed flower from that first date with Grandma. But what touched Leo most were the simple words at the bottom of each page: “Dad laughed today” or “Best day ever.” Leo suddenly realized that this boat wasn’t just wood and paint — it was a vessel carrying Grandpa’s happiest memories.
As the sun began to set, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink, Leo looked at his grandpa. The golden light softened the wrinkles on Grandpa’s face, making him look peaceful and content. “Grandpa,” Leo said emotionally, “thank you for sharing this. I finally understand why this boat means so much to you.” Grandpa smiled, putting an arm around him. “And now,” he whispered, “it means something to you too. That’s how memories are passed on.” Sitting in their restored boat, watching the sunset, Leo felt a deep connection — not just to his grandpa, but to the generations before him. The boat indeed had one last adventure: it brought a grandson home.

Text 10 理解狗的情绪
M: ⑲A new study found something interesting. People find it hard to understand how dogs feel. Researchers at a university made videos of a dog. The dog was in different situations. Some situations were good. For example, someone gave the dog food. Some situations were bad. For example, the dog saw a scary vacuum cleaner. Then the researchers changed some videos. ⑰They put different backgrounds in the videos. For example, one video showed a happy dog. But the background showed a vacuum cleaner, not food. Researchers showed people these videos. They asked, “How happy was the dog?” People saw the same dog doing the same thing. But they had different ideas about how the dog felt. ⑱If the background looked happy, people thought the dog was happy. If the background looked scary, people thought the dog was scared. This happened even when the dog’s body language showed different feelings. A researcher named Holly said, “People don’t just look at the dog’s behavior. They are also influenced by what’s around the dog. ⑳If you want to understand your dog better, watch how it moves its body.”

SCIENCE NEEDS YOU!
Citizen science is a new movement which involves members of the public, either singly or in groups, working towards a common goal. Very often, citizen scientists collect, report or analyse data. What makes a citizen scientist?
Anyone who contributes their time, effort and whatever resources they have to a scientific research project is a citizen scientist. They come from all walks of life — housewives, retirees, students, sports people, children. There’s no need for a formal or strong scientific background, just passion. How to get involved?
If you have a particular hobby, interest or expertise there’s almost certainly a project you can join.
Search online for citizen science projects and pick out the ones you like. It could be observing insects, migratory birds, even plates movements; all you have to do is to record and hand in observations. You can use your laptop or even your smartphone to do this — easy!
Here is an opportunity from NASA: Space Cloud Watch
What you’ll do
◆ Watch the sky at sunrise and sunset for noctilucent clouds (夜光云) and shoot them.
◆ Upload your photos and observations to a website to contribute to research on Earth’s middle atmosphere.
◆ Take notes when noctilucent clouds are absent, so you can report that too!
Requirements
◆ Time: 10-20 minutes
◆ Equipment: Camera, smartphone or GPS receiver
◆ Knowledge: No prior knowledge necessary
21. Who can be a citizen scientist?
A. A well-educated person. B. A person with scientific passion.
C. A person with a scientific background. D. A person with a professional career.
22. What does the Space Cloud Watch require participants to do?
A. Observe insects at sunrise. B. Take pictures of clouds.
C. Record cloud movements. D. Report data every week.
23. Who is the text most probably intended for?
A. Professional scientists. B. Government officials. C. General public. D. Science students.
B
For years, I viewed my grandfather’s vineyard (葡萄园) as a chain tying me to a forgotten past. Every summer vacation felt like a sentence. The air smelled of damp earth and pesticide, a sharp contrast to the clean, digital scent of my city life. I counted down the days until my escape, the quiet countryside feeling not peaceful, but empty and slow.
The change began slightly, with the arrival of a young agronomist (农学家), Miss Li, from the county’s new “Rural Revitalization” project. She brought not just new organic fertilizers, but a tablet full of colorful soil analysis charts. My grandfather listened with a mixture of doubts and curiosity. Out of boredom, I was wandering around when I found myself interested. I began translating the technical terms on the tablet into our local dialect for Grandpa, and explaining his decades of wisdom to Miss Li. A tiny spark of curiosity lit up where there was once only dullness.
One afternoon, a sudden storm threatened the ripening grapes. Panic surged through me — not for myself, but for the vines we had nurtured. Miss Li showed us satellite weather tracking on her phone, predicting the storm’s path. For the first time, I didn’t see technology as an enemy of this place, but as its friend. A fierce sense of protection, mixed with a new-found awe, warmed me from within. I was no longer just an observer; I felt invested.
The autumn harvest was a success of this unlikely partnership. Grandfather placed a heavy hand on my shoulder. “This harvest,” he said, his voice thick with emotion, “has your mark on it.” A pride, deep and solid, settled in my chest. I finally understood that my growth wasn’t about escaping this land, but about enriching it. The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. In helping to revive its roots, I had discovered my own.
24. How did the author initially think of his summer at the vineyard?
A. As a valuable social practice.
B. As a lesson on agricultural skills.
C. As a boring and unpleasant duty.
D. As a relaxing escape from city noise.
25. What changed the author’s view of the vineyard?
A. Miss Li’s suggestion.
B. His grandfather’s persuasion.
C. The new “Rural Revitalization” project.
D. His involvement and contribution to the vineyard.
26. What does “canvas” in the last paragraph symbolize?
A. The freedom of modern urban life.
B. The transition between tradition and modernity.
C. A place to realize one’s personal potential and value.
D. A project to safeguard one’s original intention and dream.
27. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Family traditions are permanent and unchangeable.
B. True personal growth means understanding one’s roots.
C. Storms and difficulties are necessary for one’s growth.
D. Personal interest leads to success in rural revitalization.
C
From an early age, we tend to divide ourselves and others into opposing groups — such as “smart vs. dumb” in school or “rich vs. poor” in adulthood. This thinking is often used for simpler identification, but it carries significant risks.
Once we assign people or ourselves to a group, several psychological effects take hold. First of all, the group members assume an identity. A label is placed on them, which over time achieves a level of permanency. For example, if you decide yourself as belonging to the “I’m really not creative” group, you tend to view yourself as primarily and permanently uncreative. The longer this belief lasts, the harder it is to change.
Moreover, groups provide us with a false sense of comfort. By joining the “I’m not creative” group, we also conveniently protect ourselves from moving beyond the borders of that group into new and often unfamiliar areas. Like birds that hesitate to leave their cages even when the door is open, we eschew the desire to get out of our comfort zone — not because we can’t, but because we won’t. There are not just many like-minded people in the group, but it offers a safe environment to work and play.
But the problem doesn’t end there. There is a tsunami of books and articles that use language such as the following: “Creative people are individuals like Leonardo, Edison, Picasso, or Einstein who have changed our culture in some important respects” and “Creative people are the ones who get ahead in their jobs, start new businesses, invent products... paint pictures, and make things of beauty.” When reading these statements, we automatically assign ourselves to that “other group”, knowing that we can never measure up.
However, as psychological research has convincingly demonstrated, creativity is not exclusive to a select few; it is a birthright shared by everyone. So, be mindful of what you read. Sometimes, others may be putting you in a box without your knowing.
28. What does the underlined word “eschew” probably mean in paragraph 3?
A. Avoid. B. Arouse. C. Express. D. Spark.
29. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. Creative people are very few. B. Labels may limit our thoughts.
C. All great people are creative. D. We can match great people easily.
30. What might the author agree with?
A. Creativity belongs to everyone. B. Groups help us know ourselves.
C. We should read more books. D. Labels help us identify others.
31. What can be the suitable title for the passage?
A. Group Identity: Its Hidden Benefits. B. Age Groups: Key Comparisons.
C. Social Labels: Their Hidden Harm. D. Creative Thinking: Ways to Develop It.
D
This month, the Internet was flooded with amazing digital art portraits (肖像). Users uploaded their photographs to the app and then — for a small fee — it used AI to transform their pictures into, say, a magical warrior princess version of themselves, in no time at all. This year has seen a breakthrough for AI-driven image generators, which are “trained” on millions of pieces of image and text data got from publicly available content online. Anyone can now produce professional-looking images, without having any training in art or design themselves.
Those working in the more cognitive creative industries have long felt that they had nothing to fear about automation. After all, how could a computer ever recreate the quality of a masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci? Early images generated with these tools were full of blemishes, such as a lack of diversity in the data, which marked them as machine-made. But as the results have become more convincing, those image generators cause concern.
Anyone inclined (倾向于) to regard the idea that AI can take over creative jobs as a rumor should know: it is already happening. These tools’ ability to create imagery in the style of specific artists is fun, but when it comes to living artists who have spent years developing their own distinctive style, this isn’t at all brilliant. Fantasy art illustrator Greg Rutkowski found that his name was one of the most popular prompts on the AI platforms. “The only thing that could at least stop feeding the algorithm (算法) is to stop posting your work on the Internet, which is impossible in our industry,” said Rutkowski.
Some artists have been working to develop solutions. Among them are Berlin-based artists Mat Dryhurst and Holly Herndon. They have created a search function that anyone can use to see whether their work has been collected for LAION, which is used to train most AI image generators. Their organization, Spawning, is also developing another tool that would allow artists to set permissions on how their style and paintings can be used.
Most artists believe that technology could open up possibilities for them to make better work, or at least to work more efficiently. “I see it less as a headache and more of an opportunity,” the UK-based illustrator Michelle Thompson said. “Like everything else, there will always be artists who can use the tools better.”
32. What do we know about AI-driven image generators?
A. They are undergoing free trials.
B. They provide restricted instant service.
C. They are trained on vast numbers of online artworks.
D. They assist non-professionals in taking better pictures.
33. What does the underlined word “blemishes” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Wonders. B. Coincidences. C. Comments. D. Shortcomings.
34. What do Greg Rutkowski’s words convey to us?
A. AI is posing a threat to creative jobs.
B. Artists’ works are falling behind those of AI.
C. Artists’ rising to fame is a double-edged sword.
D. AI is simplifying the working process of artists.
35. What is most artists’ attitude towards AI-driven image generators?
A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Contradictory.
第二节
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 everyday communication, we exchange not only logical information but also emotions, attitudes and inner states. Since human beings are emotional creatures, our decisions, whether significant or trivial, are often driven more by emotions than by pure reason. Therefore, to express strong emotions clearly, we tend to use words like very, so and truly in daily language. 36
Verbal intensifiers (强化词) are special function words that enhance the meaning, especially the emotional meaning of the words they are attached to. 37 According to Buzarov (1998), intensification is a stable and vital feature of informal language. Words such as awfully, deeply, tremendously, and truly help speakers strengthen emotional impact and influence listeners’ psychological perception.
38 In English, we often say “I am deeply grateful” or “He is dead tired.” Other languages also have similar words: очень in Russian, sehr in German, très in French. Some new intensifiers are even created by combining words, like fantabulous from fantastic and fabulous.
To make the most of intensifiers, we should use them with a clear purpose. Do not use them mindlessly. 39 Connect them with your genuine attitude and focus on conveying precise emotions. This way, appropriate use of intensifiers will make our words more powerful and sincere.
Intensifiers, like any other linguistic tool, work best in the right context. 40 However, overusing them without necessity will only weaken their expressive effect and make our words sound empty. Mastering them wisely helps us become more proficient and persuasive communicators.
A. Proper use is a smart linguistic choice.
B. These function words have great expressive value.
C. You’d better use them to express real ideas and emotions.
D. Using intensifiers at will influences emotional expression.
E. Intensifiers are used to simplify the meaning of other words.
F. This is why verbal intensifiers have emerged in languages worldwide.
G. They are commonly employed across languages and take on diverse forms.

Every dream lost in the dark longs for a ray of light — and for Lily, that light came from a stranger.

As the seasons turn, nature follows a rhythm that has shaped Chinese life for thousands of years. So 56 (fundamental) has Chinese civilization been guided by this rhythm that even time itself 57 (measure) through the 24 solar terms. It was from this tradition that young composer Wen Ziyang created The Four Seasons of China, a violin concerto (协奏曲) dedicated 58 the celebrated violinist Lyu Siqing.
Earlier this year, Lyu brought his work to Europe, including countries such as Hungary and Italy. Not only did he present a new Chinese composition, 59 he also shared a musical vision rooted in China’s cultural heritage. 60 (structure) around spring, summer, autumn, and winter, the piece mirrors the agricultural wisdom 61 has long connected Chinese people to the land. Beginning in spring and returning to it, the music reflects the renewal of all living things — 62 theme central to the classical Chinese philosophy.
Inspired by Vivaldi yet determined 63 (move) beyond imitation, Wen crafted melodies of distinct Chinese scenes: the quiet rain of Qingming, cicadas (蝉) singing in the summer heat, the glorious harvest moon, 64 the stillness of winter fields. 65 emerges is more than a description of nature; it is a cultural memory shaped by harmony between humanity and the natural world.
Through this concerto, Chinese classical music steps confidently onto the global stage, carrying forward both its ancient roots and its modern voice.

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。
The old wooden boat sat in the garage, covered in a thick layer of dust. For Grandpa Joe, it was a treasure chest of memories. For his teenage grandson, Leo, it was just a pile of junk taking up space. Every summer, Leo came to stay with his grandparents by the lake, and every year, Grandpa would suggest fixing up the boat. Every year, Leo would find an excuse.
“This year, Leo,” Grandpa said, his eyes twinkling despite his age, “we are going to get her back in the water. She has one last adventure in her.”
Leo sighed, scrolling through his phone. “Grandpa, it’s a lot of work. The wood is probably rotten. Besides, who has the time?”
But Grandpa was already pulling tarps (防水布) off and gathering tools. “Nonsense. We have all summer. Hand me that sander (砂光机).”
Reluctantly, Leo put his phone down and grabbed the sander. As he worked, Grandpa told stories. He told Leo about the summer he built the boat with his own father. He told him about the enormous fish he caught that got away, a story that grew more dramatic with each telling. He told him about taking Grandma on their first date across the lake to watch the fireworks. With every story, Leo began to see the boat differently. The scratches on the wood weren’t defects; they were a timeline of a life fully lived.
Days turned into weeks. They replaced rotten planks, applied fresh paint, and polished the old components. Leo learned to identify different tools, to feel the satisfaction of making something smooth with sandpaper, and to appreciate the quiet company of his grandfather. He noticed how Grandpa’s hands, though wrinkled and shaky, moved with practiced ease over the wood, as if they remembered every curve.
Finally, the day came. With their joint efforts, they pushed the newly painted boat, now a cheerful sky blue, down the slope and into the sparkling water. It floated perfectly and gently as if eager to be free. They climbed in, Grandpa taking the oars (船桨). They rowed out onto the calm lake, the only sounds being the gentle dip of the oars and the birds singing.
In the middle of the lake, Grandpa stopped rowing and let the boat drift. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, worn-out notebook.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 个左右;
