The studio brings together artists, architects, data scientists, and researchers to create immersive (沉浸的) artworks using data, artificial intelligence, and digital visualization. It is known for exploring new ways of using artificial intelligence as a creative collaborator in the creation of artworks. Its works are presented in major museums, galleries, and public spaces worldwide as large-scale exhibitions. Major Exhibitions Unsupervised It uses deep learning to process data from over two centuries of art history and turns it into moving visual patterns that reflect the machine’s imagination. Latent City It presents a continuously evolving digital city which is created using data from multiple cities. It shows how urban memory changes over time. Machine Dreams: Rainforest Based on the Amazon rainforest, it uses environmental data to recreate a tropical ecosystem, engaging multiple senses — sight, sound, smell, and temperature — to simulate a living rainforest. Living Architecture: Casa Batlló It transforms the outside of Casa Batlló, a landmark building in Barcelona, into a dynamic digital artwork, using architectural and environmental data to create a visual experience that keeps changing. Visitor Guidelines Feel free to photograph the exhibitions for personal use, but please turn off your flash to avoid disturbing the light-sensitive environments. Engage with interactive installations — touchscreens and wearable devices are designed to be part of your journey. There is no fixed route, so wander freely and spend time in each space as long as you like to witness the artwork evolve in real time. However, avoid blocking sightlines or crowding popular spots. Keep your phone on silent and avoid loud conversation to fully immerse yourself and others in the soundscape. 21. What is Refik Anadol Studio known for? A. Its training programs for artists. B. Its AI-driven artistic practice. C. Its advanced technology products. D. Its large-scale scientific research. 22. Which offers the richest sensory experience? A. Unsupervised. B. Latent City. C. Machine Dreams: Rainforest. D. Living Architecture: Casa Batlló. 23. What are visitors encouraged to do during the process? A. Avoid taking photos. B. Follow a certain route. C. Interact with artworks. D. Limit time in each space. B. Small stones shoot out beneath my wheels as I pick up speed along a National Trust parkland path. My hair flies out behind me as bluebells flash past.”Woah! That should have a speed limit!” a walker calls out. It is mid-spring, and my first time in public as a full-time wheelchair user. With each metre of the smooth path, tension falls from my body like magnolia petals (花瓣) floating to the ground. There are no stiles here — these wooden steps, built to cross fences along country path, block the way for me and the 25% of the population who find them a barrier. In 2025, the Ramblers reported that the path network in England and Wales contains more than 140,000 stiles — a stile a mile on average. That is 140,000 places where I am shut out. Now, the National Trust leads the way in access for wheelchair users, providing all-terrain scooters (代步车), accessible facilities and routes in parks. Speeding downhill, free from the barriers I usually face in green spaces, I feel the same joy as when I once stepped over a forest stream. I smile at a lady as I move to give her space. She smiles, saying, “Looks like you’re having fun,” as if speaking to a child. Her words, though kind, remind me that I am seen as different. I carry on smiling, unsure of how to respond. I crave walker-to-walker small talk rather than comments on my wheels. Perhaps it is not just be physical barriers that disable me in the outdoors. I wheel past trees and the lake shines in the spring sun. The rays warm my skin and bring me back to my body. As a disabled person, I have better access to the outdoors than any generation before me. Yet only very recently have discussions around public access begun to include disabled people. As spring grows brighter, I long to test the limits of which landscapes my wheelchair can take me to. I set out to find a piece of nature that is accessible to all. 24. How does the author feel while wheeling in the parkland? A. Joyful. B. Astonished. C. Insecure. D. Anxious. 25. What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning the Ramblers report? A. The potential to boost countryside tourism. B. Limited outdoor access for disabled people. C. The need to upgrade outdated park facilities. D. Rising travel demand among wheelchair users. 26. What does the underlined word “crave” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Resist. B. Create. C. Fear. D. Desire. 27. What would the author most look forward to? A. Priority in social discussions. B. Improvement in mobility aids. C. Expansion of urban green spaces. D. Inclusion in public environments. C “The most difficult subjects,” novelist Leo Tolstoy once wrote, “can be explained to the least knowledgeable man, but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man who is firmly convinced that he already knows it.” Until recently, I would have agreed. Psychologists have long believed that many people are resistant to opinion change and that little can be done. Fortunately, a new study led by psychologist Stephanie Dolbier suggests that open-mindedness can be developed. Open-minded thinking improves decision-making and protects us from false beliefs, but it’s not easy to practise. Admitting we were wrong not only feels embarrassing but challenges our identity that is built around our beliefs. To protect our ego (自我), the brain engages in “motivated reasoning” — searching for evidence that favours our assumptions, even if that relies on poor logic and misinformation. Maintaining an open mind starts with managing that mental discomfort through emotional awareness. Research shows that people who can describe their feelings in detail — rather than simply labelling them as “good” or “bad” — are better able to consider different perspectives. If I’m emotionally aware, I might realise that, instead of feeling angry at someone for not seeing my point, I’m actually frustrated at my own inability to get an idea across, or scared of seeming foolish. The realisation that I’m letting emotions get in the way of understanding others may encourage me to consider my argument more critically and potentially change my mind. The role of emotional awareness explains why mindfulness encourages open-minded thinking. By paying attention to our inner weather, mindfulness helps us recognise emotional reactions and avoid letting them shape our judgments. If mindfulness doesn’t appeal, we can try role-playing and adopt a scientist mindset, approaching disagreements objectively and analytically. Another useful technique is self-affirmation, which reminds us that our self-worth does not depend on being right about a single issue. Dolbier emphasises that these techniques require further testing. Still, they offer a useful starting point, and I’ll certainly try some of them the next time my beliefs are challenged. 28. What do Leo Tolstoy’s words imply? A. Intelligence guarantees learning. B. Fixed opinions are hard to change. C. Knowledge belongs to everyone. D. Difficult subjects are easy to explain. 29. What can we learn about “motivated reasoning”? A. It prevents false beliefs. B. It enhances decision-making. C. It stresses logical thinking. D. It produces biased arguments. 30. Which of the following is the key to managing the mental discomfort? A. Comparing different ideas. B. Expressing clear views. C. Identifying specific feelings. D. Releasing negative emotions. 31. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Causes of emotional discomfort. B. Ways to avoid disagreements. C. Benefits of emotional awareness. D. Strategies to develop open-mindedness. D Metal structures usually have one simple rule: once water gets in, sinking follows. However, researchers at the University of Rochester are proving that this age-old assumption is officially dead in the water. They built an aluminum tube that refuses to stay submerged even when damaged with holes. The secret lies in the surface of the metal that rejects water — a trick that nature figured out long ago. Take the diving bell spider. It spends its life underwater by trapping a pocket of air against its body using tiny, water-rejecting hairs. Fire ants do something similar, linking their bodies to form living rafts (筏) that survive floods by capturing air between their legs. Building on these ideas, the team engineered aluminum surfaces with tiny pits and grooves carved by lasers (激光). These structures are too small to be seen without microscopes, yet they dramatically change how water behaves. When water touches the surface, it forms droplets and quickly rolls off, leaving air trapped inside these pits and grooves. Surface tension, a natural force that allows water to hold its shape, helps maintain the boundary between water and air, allowing the trapped air pocket to remain stable even under pressure. This air layer then keeps the tube floating. The Rochester tubes are not designed to be used as a ready-made complete ship. Instead, they work as building components that need to be combined. By linking several tubes together, researchers can create much larger floating structures, such as life rafts and floating platforms. The design may also have uses for energy purposes. The researchers showed that rafts made from the tubes could be paired with simple generators to turn the motion of water into electricity. As waves move the floating structure, that motion can be used to produce power. For now, the tubes have been tested only in laboratory settings. An open question is whether their specially designed surfaces would remain effective in real marine conditions, where salt, organic growth and long-term wear could affect performance. 32. What did the researchers build? A. A raft-like structure. B. An unsinkable metal tube. C. A flood-resistant device. D. An underwater animal trap. 33. What is the purpose of the pits and grooves? A. To hold air within the surface. B. To store water inside the structure. C. To reduce weight of the material. D. To break the surface tension of water. 34. Which might be an application of the design? A. Deep sea exploration. B. Marine life conservation. C. Wave power generation. D. Ship transportation services. 35. What does the last paragraph indicate regarding the design? A. It needs real-world trials. B. It poses environmental risks. C. It shows practical potential. D. It displays stable performance. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When you’re committed to healthy eating and environmental sustainability, you often find yourself choosing organic products. 36 Some products use the word organic as part of advertising language rather than a certified standard. As a result, consumers need to be able to distinguish real organic products from misleading claims. One useful place to start is with official organic certification seals (印章). 37 Products should avoid chemical pesticides and fertilisers, limit the use of genetically modified organisms, and follow strict production and processing rules. After being inspected by an authorised certification agency, they are issued official organic seals. 38 Some products are made entirely from organic ingredients, while others contain only a certain percentage of organic materials. Labels such as “100% Organic,” “Organic,” and “Made with Organic Ingredients” may look similar, but they represent different levels of organic content. Beyond the front label, consumers should turn to the back of the package for nutrition facts labels. Ingredient lists reveal what a product actually contains, while nutrition facts provide details about sugar, fat, and calorie content. This is important because a product can be organic and still be high in sugar or calories. 39 Choosing truly organic products not only supports a more sustainable agricultural future but also helps you maintain a balanced diet that reflects your values. 40 Next time you shop, first look at the front label, then turn the package over to check the nutrition facts and read the ingredient list carefully to ensure you are getting what you pay for. A. It is also important to understand labelling categories. B. With the tips above, you can make more informed choices. C. In other words, organic does not automatically mean healthy. D. They are awarded only to products that meet strict standards. E. Nutrition facts are often influenced by how food is processed. F. Many consumers prefer to buy fresh products from local markets. G. But not all “organic” claims on food packages are equally reliable. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 With very few language skills, I felt I might be out of my depth travelling around Europe with a dog. How would I communicate and look out for my dog, Arty? I needn’t have 41 . Over the months we spent touring the Continent — road tripping across France and travelling to Venice by train, I learned that we dog owners have a(n) 42 language. We don’t need words, for there are glances, knowing 43 and sympathetic head nods that communicate everything. There’s a secret fellowship among people who have 44 a four-legged creature, and a deep respect for those 45 enough to travel with their dogs despite inconvenience. I didn’t need to ask if my dog was 46 inside, because half the time on my 47 to a café or restaurant, I could see 48 spread across the faces of the staff. They 49 themselves to greet Arty before they had even asked where I wanted to 50 . When he wasn’t greeted with open arms or offered 51 from behind the bar, he was just 52 — as if a woman and her small dog sharing some bread in the morning was the most natural thing in the world. Without saying a word of the local language, I had countless conversations with 53 locals about my dog’s breed (品种) and the GPS on his back, purely through 54 . I had long thought that my home country, England, couldn’t be matched for dog 55 . Now I know Europe does it just as well — if not better. 41. A. argued B. expected C. worried D. prepared 42.

Today, the Palace Museum has one of the most significant collections of timepieces in the world, mainly 57 (originate) from Europe and China. It is Mr. Wang’s responsibility to restore these clocks, a task that 58 (demand) exceptional patience and precision. Given the complexity of each piece and the lack of necessary materials, a master can complete no more than two large clocks per year. Every restored clock is not 59 (mere) repaired — it is reborn. Once, after eight months of Mr. Wang’s painstaking adjustments, a clock from Emperor Qianlong’s era 60 (bring) back to life: water flowed, boats sailed, and figures sprang into motion. It was at this very moment that we saw 61 true craftsmanship really is — not a pursuit of speed, but a lifelong 62 (dedicate) to preserving the fading art of the past. Mr. Wang has now passed on his skills 63 the new members, who will take on many of the future repairs. What’s more, 64 (inspire) to follow in his father’s footsteps, Mr. Wáng’s son has also taken up repairing antique clocks. In a world that never stops rushing, these masters remind us that some things are worth slowing down for. There is something 65 (time) about the way Wang Jin and his colleagues piece together the past with skilful hands and humble hearts — their spirit never fades, and their craft lives on beyond the passage of time. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 你校英文报“Improving Myself”栏目正在征稿，主题为“How I Will Manage My Money in College”。请你写一篇短文投稿，分享你未来大学生活中的理财计划与看法。 注意：（1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 How I Will Manage My Money in College 第二节（满分25分） 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。 Maya hated the garden on her balcony (阳台). Three long boxes sat there, filled with dirt and small plants. Her mother had set it up last week, saying they could grow their own vegetables — fresh tomatoes, lettuce (生菜), and beans. It would save money too. Maya didn’t care. “This is so stupid,” she complained to her mother. “Why me? Why do I have to take care of these stupid vegetables?” Her mother didn’t look up from her laptop. “Because I’m working. Someone has to do it.” Maya moved to this city three months ago. The apartment building was old and cold. Nobody in the building talked to each other. She missed her old school, her old life. One day after school, Maya’s mother called from work and asked her to water the plants. Maya picked up the watering can and poured too fast. Water splashed (泼洒) everywhere. One small tomato plant, not yet rooted deeply, slid out of the wet soil and fell onto the balcony of apartment 502 downstairs. “Oh no!” Maya looked down. Now she had to talk to a neighbor. She took the stairs slowly to apartment 502 and knocked. The door opened. An old woman stood there, her eyes looking somewhere above Maya’s head. Maya explained about the fallen plant. The woman smiled and invited her in. Her name was Mrs. Chen. As Maya stepped inside, she noticed Mrs. Chen moved carefully, her hand touching the wall. Then she realized — Mrs. Chen couldn’t see. On the balcony, Maya found the little plant and picked it up, feeling guilty. “I’m so sorry,” she said. But Mrs. Chen brought the plant with dirt to her nose and breathed deeply. “It smells like rain,” she whispered. “Like the garden behind my childhood home. My mother used to send me to pick tomatoes.” For a moment, Maya said nothing. Something caught in Maya’s chest. “I could bring you more,” she said. “When they grow. I’ll bring you fresh tomatoes and beans.” Mrs. Chen’s smile grew wider. “I would like that very much, dear.” 注意：（1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 From that day on, Maya’s attitude towards the garden changed completely. With a full basket, Maya knocked on the door of apartment 502. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
