B Growing up in Campana,my father's workshop felt like a magical world.The smell of metal,the sound of machines,and his work-worn clothes left a deep impression on me.It was there that I learned to turn discarded( car parts into toys that fueled my childhood adventures. Now I'm a PE teacher.I've brought my childhood love of creation into the classroom by building metal models that show how the human body moves in sports-all without using electricity.These moving sculptures have become my teaching tools,demonstrating complex motions in slow,easy-to-see detail.Over time,my creations have grown:from a skate model to El Dibu Martinez's famous World Cup save,from a metal rock band to a wheeled dinosaur.Each piece reflects the beauty of movement. At school,I used to notice students always staring at their phones during breaks.But things changed when they became engaged with my projects.One memorable activity was when we made small boats from metal sheets and tested whether they would float in water-filled containers.In that moment,the screens were forgotten,replaced by the excitement of discovery. Another meaningful project came when a mother asked me to adapt a prosthetic arm for her son Juan. Using just a simple plastic bucket,I created a working design.The moment Juan wore the arm,he began picking things up and handing them to me.We laughed together to celebrate the amazing moment. To support these projects,my weekly routine now includes searching for materials in garbage dumps.With a limited budget,this is still necessary.But I see a bright side.We're not only saving resources but also giving new life to discarded materials in creative ways. Sometimes the smell of metal takes me back to my father's workshop.I realize that what he gave me was more than skills-it was a way of seeing the world not as it is,but as it could be. 24.Why does the author build metal models? A.To amuse students in their free time. B.To sharpen his metalworking ability. C.To demonstrate his artistic creativity. D.To explain sports movements clearly. 25.What can be inferred about the author's teaching approach? A.He values theoretical knowledge. B.He prioritizes hands-on activities. C.He emphasizes competitive sports. D.He relies on advanced technology. 26.Which of the following best describes the author? A.Skilled and ambitious. B.Practical and strict. C.Caring and resourceful. D.Talented and humorous. 27.What is the father's impact on the author: A.He inspired a unique worldview. B.He encouraged him to be a teacher. C.He passed down his love for sports. D.He shaped his habit of saving money. 2 a^"1.%o¤ My great-grandfather moved to Mexico over a century ago.He leared Spanish and raised five children in a mixed German-Mexican household,but he didn't teach them German,and the language was lost in one gencration. Yet three generations later,my children recovered it during visits to Germany.This story is a case study about human cognition(认知). When bilinguals switch languages,they choose the right language system by mapping contexts to responses while keeping output consistent.This mechanism (works across fields.Taxi drivers develop brain adaptations to manage thousands of routes and pick the best one.Professional musicians constantly switch between musical notes,rhythms,and emotional expressions,requiring frequent cognitive adjustments.Learning, understanding,and adaptation are all forms of translation-matching expectatons with the environment.This reframes intelligence itself.Intelligence isn't just computation within a single domain.It's the ability to move between domains,to translate meaning into action. This matters urgently because ot Al.Large language models process information at massive scales and match humans on many tasks,but they are stuck in computational frameworks.They fail when the environment changes in ways unforeseen by training data,lacking domain translation,physical experience,and real life. Humans survive change by switching cognitive domains:when one system fails,we turn to another-from symbolic thought to sensory experience.This flexibility is our cgreatest strength.We are not just information processors;we are domain translators.If cross-domain translation is our fundamental adaptive mechanism, succeeding in the AI age means strengthening this ability:identifying domain traps,translating across domains,and building cognitive architectures that facilitate-domain switching. AI will continue improving at fixed-domain tasks,but only humans can move between disconnected domains The future won't belong to those who process the most information,but to those who translate between humans and Al,between multiple meaning systems,and between our present and future selves.Adaptatlon is essentially translation.And translation is fundamentally human. 28.Why does the author mention the family story? A.To stress human capacity. B.To present a language bias. C.To praise family education. D.To illustrate a mechanism. 29.What is the intelligence reframed in paragraph 2? A.Effective action-taking.( B.Computational abilities at scale. C.Cross-field translation. D.Constant shifts in thoughts. 30.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A.Human's cognitive advantage. B.Human's intellectual domain. C.AI's multi-system adaptability D.AI's huge information storage. 31.Who would have a brighter future based on the last paragraph" A.Those processing much information. B.Those adapting to different domains. C.Those concentrating on a fixed field. D.Those developing meaning systems. a^“6"1.%。a 可织 D An ant species has evolved a remarkable solution to the danger of excess carbon dioxide inside their nests, which may hold clues to how humans can store greenhouse gases to prevent climate disaster. Fungus-farming ants collect vegetation to feed cultivated fungi grown inside their colonies.In turn,the fungi serve as their primary food source.The high density of ants and fungi can result in high concentrations of CO2 inside the nests. In 2020,Cameron Currie at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and his colleagues found that Acromyrmex echinatior ants incorporate a carbonate biomineral into their armour ()The ants do this through a symbiotic relationship with Psaudonocardia bacteria,which transform COz into rock using chemical processes that aren't yet properly understood. Now,the team has discovered that another fungus-farming ant,Sericomymnex amabilis,.which is found in Central and South America,can do the same thing without symbiotic bacteria,becoming the first known animal to have evolved this ability. Remarkably,the mineral they make is dolomite.Dolomite rocks,such as those in Italy's Dolomite mountains, normally take millions of years and complex geological processes to torm:-Yet the ants do this quickly and effortlessly,without high temperatures,says team member Hongiie I.i at Zhejiang University in China. Dolomite consists of calcium,magnesium and carbonate.Forming it in the lab is difficult because magnesium doesn't easily fit into the calcium carbonate structure,which slows down crystal formation,says Currie.To try to overcome this,he says,scientists use high temperatures and pressures.The next phase of the team's research will try to find out how ants are able to accomplish this. In an effort to counteract global warming,scientists are exploring techniques for converting atmospheric CO2 into carbonate minerals,essentially turning carbon into stone."These ants are the first animal shown to be engaging in such a process,offering exciting potential as a model for human efforts,"says Currie. 32.What can we learn about the fungus-farming ants'nest? A.It stays open to outside air. B.It contains a high level of CO2. C.It is too unstable for ants to survive. D.It provides little room for fungal growth. 33.What makes Sericomymex amabilis different from Acromyrmex echinatior in mineral formation: A.A wider geographic range. B.Involvement of a new fungus.' C.A fully understood mechanism D.Independence from bacterial help. 34.Which word best describes dolomite formation in nature? A.Simple. B.Risky. C.Time-consuming. D.Pressure-dependent.. 35.How is the text mainly organized? A.Problem-solutions-outcome.. B.Claim→counterclaim→resolution. C.Definition-classification-summary. D.Discovery→explanation→implications, 4 a^“"1%o¤ 可织 第二节阅读填空（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 According to a 2024 attention study by King's College London,49%of the UK public are experiencing "popcorn(爆米花)brain'”,a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts.36n response to the findings,psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips. Adopt the mind map method.To manage a distracted（分心的)mind,write down everything,like appointments,worries and to-dos,without organizing it initially.Once everything is on paper,group these into life areas like work or emotional wellbeing.3._This creates order and gives your brain permission to concentrate. Every time you feel your thoughts wandering,give yourself three seconds-breathe in,name what you're feeling,and redirect your focus.38 By doing so,you may turn down the heat when your brain is working overtime. Minimizing tech is also the key to getting back on track in your daily life.A full digital withdrawal is unrealistic.39 Then it could be followed by a five-minute screen time reward.It teaches your brain to tolerate stillness without feeling punished. 4At first,you may feel bored,as popcorn brain likes being'go go go'to feel safe."Go for a walk without music,or simply stare out your window,"suggests Tina."Sit in silence and observe your thoughts.Let your brain breathe.It is sometimes exactly what your nervous system needs." So,are you ready to quiet the mental popcomn and get your focus back? A.Allow space in your day for doing nothing. B.So,what's making our brains pop like popcorn? C.Instead,go totally screen-free for 25-30 minutes. D.Starving distractions and feeding focus is a nice idea E.Then ask yourself:what matters now and what can wait? F.They feel their attention less focused and deep thinking rarer. G.This practice enables you to slow down and manage emotions. 5 6 al“"1…%oa 第二部分语自运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最什进项，并 在答思纸上将该项涂黑。 It's bcen nearly seven years since a group of volunteers broke ground at What Cheer Flower Fnrm in Providence,with a simple 41:gct flowers into the hands of anyone in necd of a(n)42,free of charge.

The pronunciation system of the Chinese language is quite different from that of English.For native speakers of English,some Chinese words are rather difficult to pronounce.My given name Qiuyu ()for instance, happened to be a great challenge for many of them.Every time I gave a self-introduction,I had to explain how to pronounce my name at least five times,yet they still could not say it the way I did. Once in a lecture,the professor tried repeating my name after me over and over in front of thirty classmates.I really did not know whether I should continue correcting him or simply drop the matter.I feared that my classmates might grow tired of my efforts or even lose patience with me.After all,I did care about how others would think of me.I realized that if I didn't stop,the entire lecture would be ruined."It's okay,professor,"I shrugged ()The awkward moment ended with the class erupting into laughter.I forced a smile,unsure how to respond further. After that incident,I stopped acting as a "Chinese teacher."Instead of correcting others when they were struggling to pronounce my name,I just smiled and nodded approvingly.This approach spared me the discomfort of having to over-explain.However,I soon found that by doing so,I might be losing something more important: the opportunity to share a small part of my cultural identity. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 Many of my classmates got interested and came up to me after class.

Many of my classmates got interested and came up to me after class.A voice popped up in the crowd, loud and clear,"Autumn rain is lovely!I'll practice saying Qiuyu properly."Another student approached me with questions about Chinese names,traditions,and festivals,his eyes shining with genuine interest in my heritage.This sparked continuous conversations about Chinese customs,poetry,and traditions.It was at that very moment that I realized embracing my cultural identity had not only earned respect but fostered a deeper appreciation for diversity among peers.My name,Qiuyu,now serves as a vessel of cultural bridge, encouraging me to recount our stories more extensively. 1 a^“"1.%。a 可织
