However,the perception and symbolism of dragons differ greatly between Eastern and Western cultures. In the East,especially in China,the dragon is a respectable symbol of power,strength,and good luck.It is often linked to the element of water and is believed to have the ability to control rain and floods.The Chinese dragon mostly looks like a snake, and has four claws and no wings.It also stands for the imperial power,so ancient Chinese empcrors dccorated their clothes with dragon patterns,which were known as dragon robes.The dragon is often used in traditional art and festivals in China,such as the Dragon Boat Fcstival.Many Chinese view the dragon as a national symbol,thus proudly referring to themselves as "Generations of the Dragon". In contrast,Western dragon culture describes dragons as terrifying,fire-breathing creatures that spread violence and terror all over the land.They are typically shown with large,bat-like wings,sbarp claws,and a long tail.Western dragons are known for protecting vast piles of gold and jewels and arc often beaten by heroes in various stories.They symbolize chaos and destruction,and their defeat is seen as a victory of good over evil. Despite these differences,dragons in both cultures are seen as powerful and wise beings.They are a source of fascination and have inspired countless stories,art,and even modern-day movies and games.The dragon's ability to fly and its connection to the element make it a symbol of freedom and the ability to overcome obstacles.Today,dragons continue to develop,going beyond traditional limits and finding new meaning in global culture.They are no longer connected with evil or good,but rather as complex characters with their own unique personalities and motivations. 24.Why do Chinese call themselves"Generations of the Dragon"?

B.They are still associated with disasters. C.They represent freedom and destruction. D.They are seen as integrated characters. 27.What is the author's purpose in writing the last paragraph? A.To compare the differences between Eastern and Western dragons. B.To explain why dragons are popular in modern movies and games. C.To show that dragons are evolving with cultural globalization. D.To prove that dragons are no longer symbols of good or evil. C Listening to music while studying is a habit many students share,yet it's one that sparks endless debate.Some argue that it's a productivity booster,while others believe it's nothing more than a distraction.But is there a middle ground,or are we 第2页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP simply kidding ourselves? Music,when used correctly,can indeed improve the study cxperienee.For starters,it can heip create an environment that's better for concentration.Think about it:a quict room can be peaceful,but somctimes silence can feel cmpty,making your thoughts wander.Music,however,can fill that spuce,allowing you to stay focused.It acts as a mental background that blocks out external noise,helping you get in the zonc.For many students,this small shift in atmosphere can make all the difference. But here's the kicker:not all music is created cqual.While a fast-paced pop song may get your heart racing,it's not exactly what you need when tackling a difficult math problem.Music with lyrics (can pull your attention away from the task at hand,leaving your brain split.That's where instrumental genres,such as classical or light music,come into play.These styles provide a regular beat without pulling your focus,making them perfect for studying. Moreover,music can act as a tension-reliever.It's no sccret that studying can cause anxicty,especially when deadlines are near.But research has shown that listening to calming music can lower stress hormones,leaving you in a more relaxed state. Tbis can turn what might fecl like a mountain of work into a scries of manageable hills. So.does music truly help with studying?It depends.If you choose wisely,music can create an environment that improves focus,reduces stress,and makes studying feel less like a burden.But,like everything in life,balance is key.Too much of anything can be harmful,and music is no exception. 28.Why can music help improve concentration? A.It replaces quictness with lyrics that help thinking. B.It fills silence with lyrics that boosts mental energy. C.It creates excitement that keeps attention on the task. D.It provides background sound that reduces mental absence. 29.What type of music does the author recommend for studying? A.Light music with gentle lyrics. B.Classical music with soft tones. C.Light music with regular flows. D.Classical music with complex sounds. 30.Why does the author describe music as a"tension-reliever"? A.Because it reduces stress caused by learning. B.Because it reduces tiredness caused by studying. C.Because it makes studying more interesting to start. D.Because it makes studying more efficient to manage. 31.What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A.To describe different kinds of music used in daily learning. B.To cntertain readers with examples of common study habits. C.To explain how music can both support and disturb studying. D.To persuade readers to avoid listening to music while studying D There's no denying that artificial intclligence is making waves in agriculture.AI promiscs to tackle climate change,reduce environmental damage,and feed our growing population.But is this technological advance really the answer,or are we overlooking some serious problems? On the surface,the benefits seem obvious.AI-powered farming lets farmers target specific plants that need water or pesticides,rather than treating entire fields.This cuts costs and reduces environmental harm.Drones and sensors monitor crop health in real-time,catching diseases early.What's not to like? Yet here's where things get complicated.Most small-scale farmers simply can't afford these advanced systems.A farmer in rural India might hear about Al's potential,but without reliable internet or money for expensive equipment,it's just out of reach. Are we creating a two-tier system where only wealthy farmers can compete?Then there's the human cost.AI could reduce physical labor,which sounds promising.But what happens to farm workers replaced by autonomous machines?Technology 共4页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap即 enthusiasts claim workers can be retrained,but that transition isn't straightforward for everyonc.Rural communities built around agricultural employment face an uncertain future. Perbaps the real qucstion isn't whether AI can improve agriculture-it clearly can-but whether we'rc implementing it fairly.The challenge is making these technologics accessible and ensuring they complement,rather than replace.human skillfulness.After all.farming has always been about more than efficiency;it's about communities,traditions,and our relationship with the land.Without addressing these concerns,we risk solving one problem while creating several others, throwing the baby out with the bathwater in the process-losing sight of what truly matters in the pursuit of progress. 32.What can we learn about AI-powered farming? A.It helps reduce environmental pollution. B.It alleviates the food shortage problem. C.It makes farming easier for all farmers. D.It guarantees fair opportunities for rural workers. 33.Why does the author mention the case of Indian farmers? A.To reveal inequality in Al access. B.To show AI's limits in poor regions. C.To compare traditional and modern farming D.To emphasize automation over human labor. 34.What does the underlined phrase"throwing the baby out with the bathwater"probably mean? A.Ignoring the past while pursuing the future. B.Solving a problem without weighing the outcome. C.Making a choice without considering the consequences. D.Losing something valuable while remaining something desirable. 35.Wbich of the following is the best title for the passage? A.Al in Agriculture:A Farmers'Dream. B.Al in Agriculture:A Double-Edged Sword. C.Al in Agriculture:A Revolution for the Few. D.AI in Agriculture:A Technological Breakthrough. 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填入空白处的位佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Mastering Body Language:The Key to Effective Communication Effective communication goes beyond words.Body language plays a crucial role in conveying messages,emotions,and intentions.Mastering the art of non-verbal communication can greatly enhance one's ability to connect with others and express thoughts more clearly.36 1.Posture and Confidence _37 Good posture communicates confidence and openness.Standing tall with shoulders back signals sclf-assurance, while lowering your head can imply insecurity or disinterest.A confident posture invites engagement and helps establish authority in both professional and social settings 2.Eye Contact and Connection Eye contact is one of the most powerful non-verbal cues.Maintaining appropriate eye contact shows attentiveness and respect.38 Striking the right balance helps to build trust and fosters a sense of connection,making the interaction feel more personal and sincere. 3.Gestures and Expression Gestures and facial expressions complement verbal communication and provide additional context.39Smiling, nodding,or using open palms creates a friendly,approachable atmosphere.On the other hand,crossed arms or a tense facial expression may unintentionally communicate defepsiveness or discomfort.

At first,Tommy found George's daily calls annoying."Tommy,it's Dad-where's my hammer?"George would say,starting their pretend games.Though sometimes impatient,Tommy would play along.George would then become"Mike the lifeguard" and ask"Did you see me save the kid from the pool?".Every call ended with George saying softly,"You're the best guy I know." Slowly,these calls became Tommy's comfort.When Tommy did poorly on a test or argued with his momn,George's calm voice made him feel better.George never judged him.Tommy's mom said George often forgot things,but he never forgot to call Tommy. Last week,Tommy stayed late at school and forgot to call George.When he got home,his answering machine was blinking.George's voice sounded worried:"Tommy?Where are you?I called five times...Did I do something wrong?"The next message was softer:"I'll wait.You're still my best guy."Tommy felt guilty and called back right away."There you arc!"George said,clearly relieved. Yesterday,Tommy'mom mentioned the school's upcomuing "Weekend Fun Day",in which they would play games and share snacks,and it required a family member.Tommy thought of George-would he get excited?But doubt hit:Would classmates stare at George's slow speech?He picked up the phone,finger hovering over the call button,hesitation weighing on him 1.Just as Tommy was about to press the call button,his mom walked in and noticed his hesitation 第4可 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 2.On the morning of Weekend Fun Day,George stood at my door.. 共4页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描App
