In neighborhoods across the globe—even in Antarctica—it is not uncommon to find a Little Free Library, or a book-sharing box filled with a collection of free books to take, share and enjoy. If a location on the South Pole wasnˈt enough, Little Free Library is celebrating a major milestone: its 200,000th box.
The nonprofit that manages these 200, 000 mini libraries works to increase access to literacy(识字)in urban, suburban, and rural communities all over the world. This includes programming to expand access to books among disadvantaged communities.
“We are honored to recognize all the work done by our global network of organizers and supporters to reach 200,000 Little Free Libraries,” said the organizationˈs executive director Greig Metzger. “Working together locally as a community connected through these libraries, we hope to make this opportunity a reality for all.”
The worldwide network of Little Free Libraries covers 128 countries and all seven continents. Schools receiving these libraries and books were selected through an application process, and all students in the schools are welcome to take the books home at no cost.
“Many of our students have no books at home, and transportation barriers prevent families from reaching the public library,” said a representative from participating school Somerset Lakes Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida. “A Little Free Library will serve as a crucial bridge, providing ongoing access to literature for these students, their parents, and the community.”
“Literacy is the gateway to learn oneˈs past and present, and shape the future,” said Dr. Kenneth O. Turner Jr, a schoolˈs principal. “Little Free Library is opening the gateway to as many people as possible.”
Anyone interested in joining the “take a book, leave a book” movement of Little Free Library can build or buy their own box and register it online to be part of the official network.

A novel study by the research team at Mass General Brigham delved(深挖)deep into the complex connection between creativity and the architecture of the brain. Their goal was to identify those parts of the brain that are crucial to human creativity and to find out the influences of brain injuries on these parts.
Through a careful examination of data gained from 857 individuals across 36 studies that employed a brain-scanning approach, the researchers discovered that creativity is not merely associated with one single region of the brain. Instead, it is closely linked to a specific network of brain connections. What came as a surprise was that individuals who had experienced brain problems or certain types of brain-related diseases, which affected these connections, appeared to exhibit enhanced creativity.
The research started with a comprehensive analysis of brain-scan data in an attempt to determine which parts of the brain become activated during creative activities such as drawing, writing stories, and composing music. Subsequently, an investigation was conducted into the data of patients whose creativity had undergone changes as a result of brain diseases. “Some people with brain diseases become more creative. Their brain damage patterns match our creativity-related network,” Kutsche, the leading researcher said.
An exceptionally fascinating finding was that the brain regions involved in creativity had an opposite correlation with a particular part of the brain that is responsible for overseeing and ensuring rules followed. A reduction in the activity of this part due to injuries might potentially be beneficial for creativity. This is because it could prevent the brain from being overly self-critical, thereby allowing ideas to flow more freely.
These findings are capable of explaining the situation where some brain-related diseases lead to a decrease in creativity, while others strangely result in an increase. Additionally, they might potentially open up a novel way for enhancing human creativity through brain stimulation. However, the researchers cautioned that these results do not cover all the brain connections relevant to creativity in that different parts of the brain are engaged in diverse creative tasks.
28.What is the function of Paragraph 1? ()
A. To reveal the research outcomes.
B. To introduce the research topic.
C. To describe the research procedures.
D. To present the significance of the research.
29.What does the researchersˈ discovery indicate about creativity? ()
A. Brain diseases never change it.
B. Itˈs tied to a certain brain site.
C. Itˈs related to a special brain web.
D. Injuries might negatively influence it.
30.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? ()
A. The analysis of relevant data.
B. The purpose of the research.
C. The process of the research.
D. The change of creative activities.
31.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? ()
A. More active rule-overseeing may help creativity.
B. Brain diseases can impact creativity positively.
C. Current brain-creativity research is sufficient.
D. Future research may focus on brain-stimulation for creativity.
D
A quiet revolution is happening in autonomous systems, freeing us from the burdens of labor and giving us more control over our lives. A robotaxi can give you a smooth ride to wherever you need to go while a humanoid robot can handle chores at home.
Undoubtedly, instead of spending time driving, or folding laundry, we can engage in intellectual, artistic, and social pursuits that were previously unimaginable. We can learn new languages, develop new skills, or connect more deeply with loved ones. We are close to a future where the freedom to create and explore is no longer limited by the demands of daily life.
However, undeniable convenience as these autonomous systems offer, thereˈs something special about the tasks they aim to replace. Learning to drive, or even folding laundry is not just chores but the very fabric of our human experience. The first time you got behind the wheel of a car gave you a moment of growth and independence. Folding laundry can be a quiet, reflective moment—a reminder that life is made up of simple rhythms.
Here lies the contradiction: Autonomy isnˈt just about freedom from work but control. As we hand over more control to machines, we are losing some of our own.
Take Teslaˈs Full Self-Driving (FSD) system for example. Despite the incredible convenience and safety it offers, we need to reflect on what we might be leaving behind as we move closer to this reality. For many, driving is more than just a means of getting from one destination to another—itˈs an experience about freedom and control. The sensory connection to the road, and even the joy of mastering the art of driving are elements that technology might replace, but not necessarily reproduce.
True human autonomy is not just about handing over daily tasks to machines. Itˈs about the choice to engage in those tasks when we want to. The simple act of driving a car, or cleaning a home is more than just a function; itˈs an expression of our humanity. Perhaps thatˈs the real challenge in front of us as autonomous systems become more integrated into our lives; how to use these machines to enhance our freedom without losing the very expression of our humanity.
32.What do autonomous systems probably enable us to get? ()
A. Greater abilities to handle chores.
B. Higher intellectual ambitions.
C. More opportunities to develop creativity.
D. A free future of living without limits.
33.What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on? ()
A. The value of routine experiences.
B. The freedom through technology.
C. The reflections on personal growth.
D. The room for improving autonomous systems.
34.Why does the author mention “Teslaˈs FSD system”? ()
A. To demonstrate the joy of driving.
B. To argue against the freedom from work.
C. To give an example of technological convenience.
D. To stress the loss of control and human experience.
35.What message does the author mainly convey? ()
A. Technology serves as a helping hand.
B. Freedom isnˈt what technology offers us.
C. The future of autonomous systems is in our hands.
D. There are conflicts between innovation and autonomy.
三、阅读七选五:本题共5小题,共12.5分。
I vividly remember the process of moving in for the first time: stuffing clothes, comfort items, and pieces of my childhood into various bags and boxes. It was a whirlwind(旋风)of excitement. (36) What would it be like living at college? Would I get along with my roommate? How would I make friends with complete strangers?
(37) I had always felt like I struggled more than others to find “my people”. In high school, I had a few close friends, but it always seemed like everyone else had these big, inseparable friend groups that did everything together. I wanted that, and the sense of belonging, too.
Like many, I was attracted by the first people I met in college. (38) We lived next to each other, ate together, and stayed up late together. They were my early friend group, and they brought laughter, growth, and memories—both positive and negative. Those highs and lows taught me an important lesson: Not every friendship is meant to last, and thatˈs okay.
Your friendships donˈt just impact your social life—they affect your motivation, your academics, and, among other things, your sense of self. I have found it valuable to surround myself with people who share my values to keep me grounded. (39) College is one of the few places in life where youˈre surrounded by people from vastly different backgrounds and experiences. Keeping an open mind is just as important as finding common ground.
College can be, and probably will be, chaotic. People come and go. Youˈll probably cry over friendships that didnˈt work out. (40) Thatˈs all part of the process. Over time, you will find your people.
A.Theyˈre part of your story.
B.But it was also filled with uncertainty.
C.I wouldnˈt trade my friendship for anything.
D.They mostly so happened to be the people on my floor.
E.That said, donˈt limit yourself to just those who are like you.
F.You may smile at memories with people no longer close to.
G.Of all the unknowns, the last question consumed me the most.

In the past few decades, the world (56) (witness) a rapid development in technology, especially in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). AI, (57) is a broad term for machines capable of performing tasks traditionally (58) (complete) by humans, has become an essential part of our daily lives.
One (59) (remark) application of AI is in the healthcare industry. For example, AI-powered diagnostic tools can analyze medical images (60) (accurate) and help doctors detect diseases at an early stage. These tools can process a vast amount of data in a short time, (61) (provide) more reliable diagnoses than human doctors in some cases.
However, AI also brings some challenges. One of the main concerns is about job displacement. As AI systems become more capable, some jobs (62) (replace) by machines in the future. To address this issue, education and training programs should be updated to equip workers (63) the skills needed in the digital age.
Moreover, ethical issues related to AI are also under debate. For instance, who should be responsible when (64) AI-driven decision leads to negative consequences? These questions require careful (65) (consider) when we move forward with the development and application of AI.

67.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。
I was confident at the audition(试演)for the school play and felt pleased to get a role. It just felt good to be in the play, even if I had only four or five lines. I worked hard at perfecting those lines. I repeated them over and over again. I put in the emphases and intonations(语调)that my drama teacher had suggested and, because I was on stage much longer than for just four or five lines, I had many actions to rehearse(排练)and perform. “Do them in front of a mirror,” my drama teacher had advised me. “Watch how you look;practice and rehearse as often as you can.” I did just that. I worked and worked at it. It was fun and exciting rehearsing.
Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of people. As I dressed, I could hear the chattering and noises of the audience—something that hadnˈt been there during rehearsal. I looked around at the other more experienced actors and saw that the confidence theyˈd shown at rehearsal seemed to have disappeared. Everyone was on edge(紧张不安), anxious, and worried. Had they got their makeup right? Was the costume done up correctly? What if they forgot their lines? The more people talked about their anxiety, the more edgy everyone became. The worries bounced from one person to another—like a baton(接力棒)being passed in a relay race—until the whole of the backstage area seemed to be buzzing with tension and worry.
I was on stage early, at first performing my non-spoken role in the background with several other guys around the same age. When, suddenly, I heard my cue(出场提示), the lights were bright in my eyes; I couldnˈt see the audience but knew there were hundreds of people out there all watching me. The words that had flowed so easily when I stood in front of a mirror in my bedroom didnˈt want to come, and when they did I found myself hurrying into them. I tried to slow down my thoughts and my words.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

66.Bike-sharing
Today, as a greener means of transportation, bike-sharing is becoming more and more popular in many cities.
It has many advantages and is enjoyed by lots of people. First of all, itˈs very convenient for people to go somewhere. Also, it helps to reduce the traffic pressure and air pollution. Besides, it helps people take more exercise, which is helpful for peopleˈs health. However, it also brings some problems. Some people throw them away after using bikes. Even some people damage them, and some bikes are stolen.
In my opinion, everyone should follow the rules and take good care of bikes. Only in this way can we live a more convenient life.
67.But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence. What should I do? I chose to carry on, but when I finished and left the stage my hands felt sweaty and my heart was racing. I didnˈt think about what I had achieved—performing my first solo part in a major production. Instead I was beating myself up for the sentence that Iˈd missed. The audience, of course, didnˈt know I had missed a sentence. They made no gasps of horror, sounds of rebuke, or peals of laughter at my mistake. My fellow actors had just carried on as though nothing had happened and, after the play had finished, they were so busy talking about their own performances.
No one commented on my missed sentence—apart from my drama teacher. “Well done,” she said. “Acting is like learning to ride a bike. You may not get it perfect the first time. You may fall a few times, yet each time you get back on you do it better. Your performance may not have been perfect but, for your first time, it was great.” What my teacher said inspired me to a great extent. I realized that even amidst the tension and worry, I had delivered a memorable performance. With newfound confidence, I eagerly awaited the next opportunity.
