The Wichita Symphony and Botanica
Host the Season’s Grandest American Garden Party
The Wichita Symphony and Botanica (The Wichita Gardens) are proud to announce the return of the city’s important outdoor musical event: Symphony in the Gardens. In honor of the country’s landmark anniversary, this year’s “American Landscapes” theme turns twenty acres of flower beauty into a big, multi-sensory garden party, inviting guests to explore the sounds of the American landscape when spring flowers are at their best.
About the Concept
“Symphony in the Gardens is a celebration of everything that makes Wichita special — music, nature, and community coming together in one extraordinary evening,” says Lynette, Executive Director of Botanica.
“By bringing the music out of the concert hall, we allow the audience to experience these American masterpieces in a way that feels incredibly personal and festive,” adds Daniel, Music Director of the Wichita Symphony.
About the Experience
This one-of-a-kind outdoor concert experience invites guests to explore the grounds at their own pace, tasting treats from food and drink stations hidden throughout the scenery while enjoying various performances of Wichita Symphony ensembles (乐团).

One evening, while I was sorting through my late wife’s clothes in my attic (阁楼), the floor dropped from beneath me. I was used to that falling feeling after my wife, Amy, passed away in 2024. The sight of her things — a piece of medical equipment, a bottle of old perfume — made me feel as if my life were falling apart underfoot. But this time, I fell through the floorboards for real. Fortunately, I was stuck in the cracked floor. I struggled hard and finally pulled myself out. If Amy had still been around, it would never have happened. She was the family’s backbone. I was careless and restless, but she could always slow me down.
I was doing all I could to be a good single parent. I quit drinking and fought my way to good health. I put away the smartphone when my daughter was around. But single parenthood still seemed unreasonable and hard. I often forgot about garbage night until the trash (垃圾) piled up. I burned loads of potatoes while cooking. I even mistook payment reminders for spam mails, which cut off our Wi-Fi. I was doing badly.
However, the day after the attic incident, when I was fixing the hole in the floor, my daughter approached, laughing. “Daddy,” she said, “I’m so proud of you for falling through the ceiling yesterday. That was very avant-garde (新潮另类的) of you.” First surprised, and then I started laughing too. For the first time, our recent “adventures” seemed funny — not just the hole, but the piled trash, the burnt potatoes. Yes, fate (命运) was playing tricks on me. I could laugh or not but the practical jokes weren’t going to stop. I’m beginning to understand that my carelessness is an advantage, not just a source of embarrassment. This is the hardest year I’ve ever shared with my daughter and laughter is how we tell ourselves we might get through this.
24. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1?
A. He lost his wife in a fall accident. B. He was determined to slow down.
C. He used to be the family’s backbone. D. He was heartbroken over his wife’s death.
25. Which of the following could best describe the author? ·
A. Strict but caring. B. Brave and confident.
C. Careless but responsible. D. Fashionable and humorous.
26. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “spam” in paragraph 2?
A. Personal. B. Junk. C. Official. D. Confirmation.
27. What message does the author mainly want to deliver?
A. A broken heart heals with love. B. Accidents bring endless troubles.
C. Weakness can become one’s strength. D. Laughter carries us through hardships.
C
There used to be four common life phases (阶段): childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. Now, there are at least six: childhood, adolescence, odyssey, adulthood, active retirement and old age. Of the new ones, the least understood is odyssey, the decade of wandering that frequently occurs between adolescence and adulthood.
During this decade, 20-somethings go to school and take breaks from school. They live with friends and they live at home. They fall in and out of love. They try one career and then try another. Their parents grow increasingly anxious. They understand that there’s bound to be a transition phase between student life and adult life. But when they look at their own grown children, they see the things are being delayed. They see that people in this age group are delaying marriage. They’re delaying having children. They’re delaying lifelong employment.
Actually, this transitional period is a sensible response to new conditions. Young people grow up in tightly scheduled childhoods, but then graduate into a world characterized by uncertainty, diversity and searching. Old success methods don’t apply, new rules have not been formed and everything seems to give way to a less long-lasting type of itself. Marriage gives way to just living together. Having children gives way to keeping pets. The job market is changeable.
The odyssey years are not about being lazy. There are fierce competitive pressures as vast numbers of people are chasing relatively few opportunities. Moreover, surveys show that people living through these years have highly traditional desires (they rate parenthood more highly than their own parents did). Actually, what we’re seeing is the creation of a new life phase, just as adolescence came into being a century ago.
And as the new generational structure forms, social and economic entrepreneurs (企业家) will create new customs and rules. Someday people will look back and wonder at the vast social changes brought by the rising social group.
28. What is a feature of people in the odyssey phase?
A. They welcome changes. B. They dislike living alone.
C. They are in an unsettled state. D. They have the most job opportunities.
29. What leads to the appearance of odyssey?
A. Outdated traditions. B. An uncertain adult world.
C. Lack of success in childhoods. D. Newly made rules and approaches.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning the odyssey years?
A. Its nature. B. Its effects. C. Its importance. D. Its development.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the odyssey phase?
A. Critical. B. Encouraging. C. Understanding. D. Doubtful.
D
AI is extremely power-hungry. The data centres that power AI use more electricity than some small countries, like Japan. So many tech firms are working on building data centres in space to take advantage of continuous solar energy. Yet, an Australian start-up, Panthalassa, believes the solution lies much closer to home: not on land, but at sea.
“Wave power is an old technology and it can work, but the ocean is a tough environment,” says Jonathan Koomey, an expert on data centre energy use. “Saltwater and continuing waves cause serious damage to the equipment.”
Once Panthalassa’s floating data centre is arranged, it can produce its own electricity and run continuous AI workloads with no grid connection (电网). Traditional data centres use large amounts of fresh water to cool overheating AI hardware. In contrast, Panthalassa’s servers are encased in underwater units. The outer walls of these units act as natural heat exchangers, letting heat escape directly into cold seawater. Still, the potential ecological impact on nearby ocean ecosystems has not yet been fully studied.
According to Davis from the Uptime Institute, automation (自动化) in modern data centres is mostly limited to basic monitoring and data analysis. Physical human operation is still frequently required. Network delay is another major limitation. Floating platforms rely on satellites to transmit processed data back to land users. Satellite connections offer limited bandwidth and far higher delay than traditional cables (光缆). So they cannot support most commercial AI applications, including chatbots and search assistants, which require quick responses and reliable (可靠的) network.
For now, offshore computing remains experimental. Beyond unsolved engineering challenges, companies must prove that ocean-based data centres can achieve economic competitiveness against traditional land facilities.
32. Why does Panthalassa plan to put the data centre in the ocean?
A. To protect its equipment. B. To power it with wave energy.
C. To solve AI programming issues. D. To compete against space solar power.
33. Which of the following is a limitation of ocean data centres?
A. Unreliability of network connections.
B. Heavy usage of fresh water for cooling.
C. Damage to ocean ecological environment.
D. Inability to produce electricity independently.
34. What do we know about the current ocean-based data centres?
A. They are still in early stages. B. They are economically profitable.
C. They have settled engineering challenges. D. They have replaced traditional land facilities.
35. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Data Centres: A Way to Solve Energy Problems
B. Offshore Computing: An Exploration of the Ocean
C. Is it Possible to Solve AI’s Power-hungry Problem?
D. Can Ocean Data Centers Meet AI’s Huge Energy Demand?

【答案】17. C 18. C 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【原文】I’ve always loved elephants, and I would happily say there was nothing I didn’t know about them. So, just imagine my surprise when I discovered that the world has been holding celebrations for elephants every year since 2012! It’s called World Elephant Day on the 12th of August, and it aims to bring people’s attention to the serious problems faced by elephants around the world. As we can tell, thousands of elephants are killed each year for their meat and skin as well as their valuable ivory (象牙), which worries me the most. Meanwhile, some are losing their forest homes to the farming industry. The day was set up by Canadian filmmaker Patricia Sims, alongside Thailand’s Elephant Reintroduction Foundation. A film named Return to the Forest was first shown on the first World Elephant Day. It’s about returning performing elephants back to the wild. Now celebrated by many international wildlife organizations, this special day tries to share knowledge and positive solutions to better protect these big and beautiful animals.

One evening, while I was sorting through my late wife’s clothes in my attic (阁楼), the floor dropped from beneath me. I was used to that falling feeling after my wife, Amy, passed away in 2024. The sight of her things — a piece of medical equipment, a bottle of old perfume — made me feel as if my life were falling apart underfoot. But this time, I fell through the floorboards for real. Fortunately, I was stuck in the cracked floor. I struggled hard and finally pulled myself out. If Amy had still been around, it would never have happened. She was the family’s backbone. I was careless and restless, but she could always slow me down.
I was doing all I could to be a good single parent. I quit drinking and fought my way to good health. I put away the smartphone when my daughter was around. But single parenthood still seemed unreasonable and hard. I often forgot about garbage night until the trash (垃圾) piled up. I burned loads of potatoes while cooking. I even mistook payment reminders for spam mails, which cut off our Wi-Fi. I was doing badly.
However, the day after the attic incident, when I was fixing the hole in the floor, my daughter approached, laughing. “Daddy,” she said, “I’m so proud of you for falling through the ceiling yesterday. That was very avant-garde (新潮另类的) of you.” First surprised, and then I started laughing too. For the first time, our recent “adventures” seemed funny — not just the hole, but the piled trash, the burnt potatoes. Yes, fate (命运) was playing tricks on me. I could laugh or not but the practical jokes weren’t going to stop. I’m beginning to understand that my carelessness is an advantage, not just a source of embarrassment. This is the hardest year I’ve ever shared with my daughter and laughter is how we tell ourselves we might get through this.

C
There used to be four common life phases (阶段): childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. Now, there are at least six: childhood, adolescence, odyssey, adulthood, active retirement and old age. Of the new ones, the least understood is odyssey, the decade of wandering that frequently occurs between adolescence and adulthood.
During this decade, 20-somethings go to school and take breaks from school. They live with friends and they live at home. They fall in and out of love. They try one career and then try another. Their parents grow increasingly anxious. They understand that there’s bound to be a transition phase between student life and adult life. But when they look at their own grown children, they see the things are being delayed. They see that people in this age group are delaying marriage. They’re delaying having children. They’re delaying lifelong employment.
Actually, this transitional period is a sensible response to new conditions. Young people grow up in tightly scheduled childhoods, but then graduate into a world characterized by uncertainty, diversity and searching. Old success methods don’t apply, new rules have not been formed and everything seems to give way to a less long-lasting type of itself. Marriage gives way to just living together. Having children gives way to keeping pets. The job market is changeable.
The odyssey years are not about being lazy. There are fierce competitive pressures as vast numbers of people are chasing relatively few opportunities. Moreover, surveys show that people living through these years have highly traditional desires (they rate parenthood more highly than their own parents did). Actually, what we’re seeing is the creation of a new life phase, just as adolescence came into being a century ago.
And as the new generational structure forms, social and economic entrepreneurs (企业家) will create new customs and rules. Someday people will look back and wonder at the vast social changes brought by the rising social group.
28. What is a feature of people in the odyssey phase?
A. They welcome changes. B. They dislike living alone.
C. They are in an unsettled state. D. They have the most job opportunities.
29. What leads to the appearance of odyssey?
A. Outdated traditions. B. An uncertain adult world.
C. Lack of success in childhoods. D. Newly made rules and approaches.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning the odyssey years?
A. Its nature. B. Its effects. C. Its importance. D. Its development.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the odyssey phase?
A. Critical. B. Encouraging. C. Understanding. D. Doubtful.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了人生新增奥德赛阶段,指青年到成年间动荡过渡期。源于充满不确定性的社会环境,并非年轻人懒惰,是时代催生的全新人生阶段,作者对此持理解态度。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“During this decade, 20-somethings go to school and take breaks from school. They live with friends and they live at home. They fall in and out of love. They try one career and then try another. Their parents grow increasingly anxious. They understand that there’s bound to be a transition phase between student life and adult life. But when they look at their own grown children, they see the things are being delayed. They see that people in this age group are delaying marriage. They’re delaying having children. They’re delaying lifelong employment.(在这一十年里,二十多岁的年轻人去上学并休学。他们与朋友同住,也住在家里。他们爱过也失去过爱情,尝试过一种职业,又转而尝试另一种。他们的父母越来越焦虑。他们明白,从学生时代过渡到成年生活必然会有一个转变期。但当他们看着自己的成年子女时,却发现事情正在被拖延。他们发现,这个年龄段的人正推迟结婚、推迟生育、推迟终身工作)”可知,在奥德赛阶段,人们处于不安的状态。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Young people grow up in tightly scheduled childhoods, but then graduate into a world characterized by uncertainty, diversity and searching.(年轻人在紧凑的日程中长大,随后进入一个充满不确定、多样性和探索的世界)”可知,一个不确定的成人世界导致了奥德赛的出现。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The odyssey years are not about being lazy. There are fierce competitive pressures as vast numbers of people are chasing relatively few opportunities. Moreover, surveys show that people living through these years have highly traditional desires (they rate parenthood more highly than their own parents did). Actually, what we’re seeing is the creation of a new life phase, just as adolescence came into being a century ago.(奥德赛时代并非懒惰的表现。在这一时期,人们面临激烈的竞争压力,因为大量人群争相追逐相对有限的机遇。此外,调查显示,正在经历这一阶段的人们有着高度传统的愿望(他们对生育子女的重视程度甚至超过了自己的父母)。实际上,我们所看到的,正是一种新人生阶段的诞生,就像一个世纪前青春期的出现一样)”可知,第四段主要讨论了奥德赛阶段的性质。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“And as the new generational structure forms, social and economic entrepreneurs (企业家) will create new customs and rules. Someday people will look back and wonder at the vast social changes brought by the rising social group.(随着新一代结构的形成,社会和经济领域的创业者将创造新的习俗与规则。终有一天,人们会回望过去,惊叹于这个新兴社会群体所带来的巨大社会变革)”以及全文称该阶段是对时代的合理回应,客观解读成因,可知,作者对《奥德赛》阶段持理解态度。

AI is extremely power-hungry. The data centres that power AI use more electricity than some small countries, like Japan. So many tech firms are working on building data centres in space to take advantage of continuous solar energy. Yet, an Australian start-up, Panthalassa, believes the solution lies much closer to home: not on land, but at sea.
“Wave power is an old technology and it can work, but the ocean is a tough environment,” says Jonathan Koomey, an expert on data centre energy use. “Saltwater and continuing waves cause serious damage to the equipment.”
Once Panthalassa’s floating data centre is arranged, it can produce its own electricity and run continuous AI workloads with no grid connection (电网). Traditional data centres use large amounts of fresh water to cool overheating AI hardware. In contrast, Panthalassa’s servers are encased in underwater units. The outer walls of these units act as natural heat exchangers, letting heat escape directly into cold seawater. Still, the potential ecological impact on nearby ocean ecosystems has not yet been fully studied.
According to Davis from the Uptime Institute, automation (自动化) in modern data centres is mostly limited to basic monitoring and data analysis. Physical human operation is still frequently required. Network delay is another major limitation. Floating platforms rely on satellites to transmit processed data back to land users. Satellite connections offer limited bandwidth and far higher delay than traditional cables (光缆). So they cannot support most commercial AI applications, including chatbots and search assistants, which require quick responses and reliable (可靠的) network.
For now, offshore computing remains experimental. Beyond unsolved engineering challenges, companies must prove that ocean-based data centres can achieve economic competitiveness against traditional land facilities.
32. Why does Panthalassa plan to put the data centre in the ocean?
A. To protect its equipment. B. To power it with wave energy.
C. To solve AI programming issues. D. To compete against space solar power.
33. Which of the following is a limitation of ocean data centres?
A. Unreliability of network connections.
B. Heavy usage of fresh water for cooling.
C. Damage to ocean ecological environment.
D. Inability to produce electricity independently.
34. What do we know about the current ocean-based data centres?
A. They are still in early stages. B. They are economically profitable.
C. They have settled engineering challenges. D. They have replaced traditional land facilities.
35. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Data Centres: A Way to Solve Energy Problems
B. Offshore Computing: An Exploration of the Ocean
C. Is it Possible to Solve AI’s Power-hungry Problem?
D. Can Ocean Data Centers Meet AI’s Huge Energy Demand?
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了AI耗电量巨大,许多科技公司计划在太空建数据中心利用太阳能,而澳大利亚初创公司Panthalassa却提出将数据中心建在海上,利用波浪能发电并以海水冷却。文章同时介绍了海上数据中心的优势、面临的网络延迟等局限,以及目前仍处于实验阶段的现状。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“So many tech firms are working on building data centres in space to take advantage of continuous solar energy. Yet, an Australian start-up, Panthalassa, believes the solution lies much closer to home: not on land, but at sea. (许多科技公司正在努力在太空建造数据中心,以利用持续的太阳能。然而,澳大利亚初创公司Panthalassa认为,解决方案离我们更近:不在陆地上,而在海上。)”以及第三段“Once Panthalassa's floating data centre is arranged, it can produce its own electricity and run continuous AI workloads with no grid connection. (一旦Panthalassa的浮动数据中心部署完毕,它就可以自行发电,并且在不连接电网的情况下持续运行AI工作负载。)”和第二段“Wave power is an old technology and it can work, but the ocean is a tough environment. Saltwater and continuing waves cause serious damage to the equipment. (波浪能是一项古老的技术,它可以发挥作用,但海洋是一个严酷的环境。盐水和持续的海浪会对设备造成严重损坏。”)”可知,Panthalassa选择将数据中心建在海上是为了利用波浪能自行发电,从而解决AI的能源需求问题。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Network delay is another major limitation. Floating platforms rely on satellites to transmit processed data back to land users. Satellite connections offer limited bandwidth and far higher delay than traditional cables. So they cannot support most commercial AI applications, including chatbots and search assistants, which require quick responses and reliable network. (网络延迟是另一个主要局限。浮动平台依赖卫星将处理后的数据传回陆地用户。卫星连接提供的带宽有限,且延迟远高于传统光缆。因此,它们无法支持大多数商业AI应用,包括聊天机器人和搜索助手,这些应用需要快速响应和可靠的网络。)”可知,海上数据中心依赖卫星传输数据,网络延迟高、带宽有限,无法支持大多数商业AI应用,即网络连接不可靠是其局限。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“For now, offshore computing remains experimental. Beyond unsolved engineering challenges, companies must prove that ocean-based data centres can achieve economic competitiveness against traditional land facilities. (目前,海上计算仍处于实验阶段。除了尚未解决的工程挑战外,各公司还必须证明海上数据中心能够在经济上与传统陆地设施相竞争。)”可知,目前海上计算仍处于实验阶段,工程挑战尚未解决,经济竞争力也尚未得到证明。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章围绕AI耗电量巨大这一问题展开,介绍了太空数据中心和海上数据中心两种方案,重点讨论了Panthalassa提出的海上数据中心的优势(波浪能发电、海水冷却)与局限(网络延迟、生态影响、工程挑战等),核心话题是海上数据中心能否满足AI巨大的能源需求。

Interactive Cinema: A New Way to Tell Stories

Interactive cinema, ____57____, has broken that pattern, asking viewers not just to watch but to enter stories and make choices ____58____ can shape how stories develop.
In China, interactive films such as The Invisible Guardian ____59____ (become) popular on major platforms recently.

Viewers ____61____ (choose) to explore all the paths may spend four to six hours in total. Some advanced ____62____ (work) even let storylines reconnect, forming a narrative web.
The next step goes beyond tapping on a screen. Using VR and XR technologies, viewers can influence the story with their bodies — nodding, turning, or reaching out — enabling them to step ____63____ (direct) into the narrative world. In the future, AI may enable viewers to become co-authors, making it possible for them to change a character’s identity or add new scenes. Interactive cinema is turning audiences from passive observers ____64____ active participants, helping to shape the stories they experience ____65____ the meaning of being a filmmaker.

【解析】
【导语】本文对比了传统电影与互动电影的差异,介绍互动电影的发展现状与未来趋势。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:一个多世纪以来,看电影意味着坐在黑暗的剧院里,跟随一个有着单一结局的固定故事,而观众始终是被动的观察者。根据空格后的单数名词ending可知,空格处应该用不定冠词泛指“一个单一的结局”,single以辅音音素开头,所以用不定冠词a。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,互动电影打破了这种模式,它要求观众不仅要观看,还要进入故事并做出能够影响故事发展的选择。上文提到传统电影的固定模式,此处转折说明互动电影的不同,所以,空格处用副词however/though表转折,符合语境。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:然而,互动电影打破了这种模式,它要求观众不仅要观看,还要进入故事并做出能够影响故事发展的选择。空格处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词choices (指物),关系词在从句中作主语,故用关系代词that/which。
【59题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:在中国,像《隐形守护者》这样的互动电影最近在各大平台上变得流行起来。空格处是谓语动词,时间状语recently表明动作从过去持续到现在,用现在完成时;主语interactive films是复数,所以填have become。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些电影将电影与游戏逻辑相结合,允许一个故事分支成不同的路径,每个路径都有自己的结局。allow sth. to do sth.是固定搭配,意为“允许某事做某事”,所以空格处用不定式to branch作宾语补足语。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:选择探索所有路径的观众总共可能会花费4到6个小时。空格处应该用非谓语动词作定语,修饰空格前的名词viewers,名词viewers和动词choose之间是主动关系,用现在分词choosing作后置定语。
【62题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:一些先进的作品甚至让故事情节重新连接,形成一个叙事网络。work作“作品”讲时是可数名词,由空格前的some可知,此处应该用复数形式works。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:借助VR和XR技术,观众可以用身体影响故事——点头、转身或伸手——使他们能够直接进入叙事世界。这里修饰动词step,需用副词形式;direct的副词是directly,表示“直接地”。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意:互动电影正将观众从被动的旁观者转变为积极的参与者,帮助塑造他们所经历的故事以及作为电影人的意义。from...into/to...是固定搭配,意为“从……转变为……”,所以填into/to。
【65题详解】
考查连词。句意:互动电影正将观众从被动的旁观者转变为积极的参与者,帮助塑造他们所经历的故事以及作为电影人的意义。此处连接shape the stories they experience和the meaning of being a filmmaker两个并列成分,用连词and。
