Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 参考范文： Hiding myself in the corner of a hall, I carefully observed Sarah. After finishing the count-down, she looked around seriously, fixed her eyes straight ahead, and then walked towards the gate of the hall where I was. With a smile on her face, she looked so confident. A sense of nervousness welled up in my heart. While I was worried about being caught by her, she stopped halfway and ran quickly towards the back of the gate. The instant she approached the gate, Grace threw the door open and ran away like an arrow. At the same time, Sarah was knocked down by the gate and started to cry. Panic seized our group as we found Sarah’s left arm bleeding. Our hearts pounding with fear and concern, we comforted Sarah anxiously. Not knowing the location of the hospital and how to perform first aid, I decided to turn to the locals. I approached a young lady and tried my best to tell her what happened in simple Spanish. Aware of what happened, not only did she help us call an ambulance, but she accompanied us to the hospital. Luckily, the doctor told us Sarah’s arm was not serious and after simple treatment we went to the airport to go home. Adventurous as the trip was, it showed us the friendliness of local people and strengthened our friendship. 听力材料 第一节 听下面5段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 (Text 1) M: You should have prepared your class presentation, Susan.

W: To be honest, neither option will help you connect with our classmates. M: But I can’t just give a speech off the top of my head. W: No, but you can work with an outline and use reminder cards to jog your memory. M: Oh, that makes more sense. Anything else? W: It comes across as a little colorless. I’d try to be more active and use hand gestures. M: I suppose I could be more aware of my body language. W: Right. And it wouldn’t kill you to add in a funny story or two. Audiences eat that stuff up. M: I owe you a coffee after my presentation tomorrow. 听下面的录音，回答第17至第20小题。现在你有20秒钟的时间阅读这四个小题。 (Text 10) M: Good morning, everyone.

In 2010, Hua’s father rented more than 13.3 hectares of land in a village. He used the land for conventional farming. However, a lack of innovation made it hard for him to run the farm. In the hope of saving her father’s farm, Hua in 2013 enrolled in Jiangsu Vocational College of Agriculture and Forestry and majored in horticultural (园艺) technology. After her graduation in 2016, Hua and four like-minded friends joined her father’s farm. Almost immediately, they had to deal with poor sales. After visiting various markets, they realized they had to innovate their farming techniques. They spent the next 11 months transforming the farm into an ecological circular agriculture base. The transformation was a turning point; since then, the farm has generated an output value of 32 million yuan annually. As part of her farm management, Hua has focused on technological innovation and application. In 2018, some farmers’ strawberry seedlings died, which resulted in massive losses. Hua decided to identify the cause. She spent three months testing hundreds of formulas, until she found the right culture medium formula for strawberry seedlings. She helped the farmers avoid future losses, and she improved both strawberry yield and quality. Hua has not hesitated to share the technologies she has developed with other farmers. She organized a team to provide assistance and technical guidance to farmers. The team is composed of 49 young graduates, all of whom majored in agriculture. She has also provided technological training to more than 22,000 people, supported more than 700 farmers in growing crops and helped farmers increase their incomes by a combined 120 million yuan. When asked about her plans for the future, Hua says, “I am willing to put down roots in the countryside, and to work in the fields. Rural areas have great potential, and agriculture will thrive. I will lead farmers and more young people to advance rural revitalization (振兴).” 24. What can be learned about Hua’s father’s farm? A. It mainly grew strawberries. B. It improved after technical reform. C. It earned big profits at first. D. It got government financial support. 25. What was the purpose of Hua’s experiments on formulas? A. To solve a crop crisis. B. To develop new varieties. C. To expand small farms. D. To advertise farmers’ products. 26. What does Hua’s words in the last paragraph imply? A. She wants to adjust her business goals. B. She plans to live and work in cities. C. She holds faith in rural agriculture. D. She intends to increase crop output. 27. How does the author present Hua Mengli’s story in the passage? A. By showing different farming styles. B. By comparing her with other local farmers. C. By introducing past farming history. D. By describing problems and her solutions. C In April 2026, some of the world’s most powerful technology companies made a striking announcement: they are now using artificial intelligence — AI — to help build and improve AI itself. Companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind have quietly set a new goal: to create AI systems that can do their own research and automate (使自动化) the process of scientific discovery. Anthropic, the company behind the popular AI assistant Claude, recently revealed that its AI now writes up to 90 percent of the company’s own code — the instructions that tell computers what to do. Meanwhile, OpenAI, one of the world’s leading AI labs, has announced plans to launch an “AI research intern (实习生)” within six months. This intern would be able to independently handle a small number of specific research problems — without any help from a human. The idea of AI improving itself is not new, but the speed at which it is now happening has surprised many experts. Jakub Pachocki, OpenAI’s chief scientist, told MIT Technology Review that he believes we are approaching a point where AI models could work “indefinitely” — meaning continuously — on complex tasks, much like a human researcher. “We will have an era where there are entire research labs inside data centers,” he said. However, this exciting vision also raises serious concerns. Experts warn that self-improving AI systems could become difficult to control. If an AI makes errors in one step of a long chain of tasks, those mistakes could build up — a problem known as “error accumulation (积累)”. A more alarming worry is that such systems could be used to design dangerous tools, including biological weapons or cyberattacks. Despite the risks, many in the tech industry remain optimistic. They argue that self-improving AI could speed up progress in science and medicine, helping researchers find cures for diseases faster than ever before. The question is not whether this technology will arrive — but whether humanity will be prepared when it does. 28. What is the new target set by three major AI companies? A. Building AI to automate its own research. B. Applying AI to cure diseases more quickly. C. Using AI to train more research interns. D. Developing AI to write software code. 29. What can be concluded from Jakub Pachocki’s words? A. Data centers will be replaced by modern labs soon. B. AI will carry out long-term complicated research work. C. Some jobs for human researchers might disappear gradually. D. AI is able to finish research projects within one single night. 30. Why are some experts concerned about self-improving AI? A. It may slow down medicine research. B. It may suffer accumulated task errors. C. It may occupy too many server facilities. D. It may waste plenty of energy resources. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Hidden Dangers of Self-Improving AI B. Great Value of Self-Improving AI C. Fast Progress of Self-Improving AI D. Double sides of Self-Improving AI D For centuries, it was believed that the production of oxygen relied on photosynthesis (光合作用). Plants use sunlight to turn CO2 into oxygen, as we all know. However, the discovery of dark oxygen produced in environments with little or no sunlight challenges this long-held assumption. In 2013, Scottish scientist Andrew made this discovery by accident while conducting deep-sea mining research. He measured rising levels of oxygen as he went deeper. He could not help thinking his measuring devices were incorrect and dismissed the reading entirely, as he assumed the only way to produce oxygen was through photosynthesis. With no light source, it seemed impossible that oxygen could exist on the deep seabed, one of the coldest and darkest places on the Earth. However, over the last 10 years, Andrew’s team have been conducting more marine experiments. They enclosed a section of the seabed within a space and measured the oxygen levels over time. They also expected a reduction in the levels of oxygen due to consumption by organisms (微生物). However, oxygen levels consistently increased, proving that oxygen was being produced in the dark depths of the ocean. In fact, in some experiments, oxygen levels rose to more than three times the background concentration. One potential explanation for the increased oxygen levels is the existence of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核), which use an electric charge to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. This could revolutionize deep-sea mining primarily because these polymetallic nodules contain metals which are essential for everyday life, especially for batteries. Mining companies view the metals as a new, highly sought-after resource. However, the production of this dark oxygen may be vital for deep-sea ecosystems, yet disturbing this process could be harmful to species relying on it. Hence, it is wise to take caution and properly weigh the costs and benefits of deep-sea mining. “This discovery tells us that nature still has countless secrets to explore,” said Andrew. 32. Why did Andrew first dismiss his discovery in 2013? A. His team lacked enough funding. B. His equipment stopped working. C. It went against accepted science. D. It was made in a wrong season. 33. How did Andrew’s team prove oxygen production in the deep sea? A. By using a new larger research ship. B. By adding more CO2 to the water samples. C. By removing part of the sea creatures. D. By tracking oxygen shifts in an enclosed area. 34. What does the underlined word “sought-after” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Completely useless. B. Environmentally friendly. C. Easily produced. D. Widely popular. 35. What is Andrew’s attitude towards the discovery of dark oxygen? A. He finds it a proof of nature’s mysteries. B. He considers it a danger to sea species. C. He doubts its value for further research. D. He thinks it a reminder to limit mining. 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。 In a world driven by test scores and productivity, art is often seen as a luxury or an elective. But recent research suggests this common assumption is mistaken. 36 They build stronger creative thinking and emotional intelligence through these pursuits. One study even found that art participants scored 20% higher on empathy tests. Why does art have such a powerful effect on young minds? 37 When a child paints or plays an instrument, the brain must coordinate perception (感知), movement, memory, and emotion all at once. A 2024 Swiss study of over 2,000 children found that those receiving regular arts training consistently outperformed their peers in problem-solving tasks. 38 Children often struggle to put complex feelings into words. Art gives them another language to express their own inner world. Through colors, sounds, or movements, they can express what they cannot otherwise share. This process helps them understand and manage their own moods — a skill vital for mental health. The value of art extends well into adulthood as well. In an age when AI can generate content from existing information, uniquely human strengths — imagination, original thinking, moral judgment — are becoming more valuable. Art education nurtures (培养) exactly these essential human qualities. Students with art backgrounds learn to approach problems without ready-made answers. 39 That is why art education deserves a central place in our schools. Policymakers and parents should no longer see art as an extra thing. Instead, they need to recognize it as an essential part of the school curriculum. 40 Engagement with artistic pursuits builds creativity, empathy, and the inner strength to face life’s challenges. A. Art, in essence, is about making better human beings. B. Much of the explanation lies in how the human brain works. C. Some educators argue that art is difficult to measure in standardized tests. D. Another benefit is that art provides a safe space for emotional expression. E. Math and science courses are always prioritized over art classes in most schools. F. They embrace uncertainty, which prepares them for careers that no machine can replace. G. It shows students engaged in regular artistic activities such as drawing or music gain clear benefits. 第三部分 语言运用（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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Like many people in the UK, I grew up with a narrow understanding of health. If I felt anxious or tired, I just 41 it and carried on. If I had a headache, I took painkillers. There was very little 42 given to why symptoms (症状) appeared or how to prevent them. It wasn’t until my early thirties, while working in a (n) 43 advertising job, that everything caught up with me. I was 44 burnt out. One of the most alarming 45 was the way my heart would beat unevenly — loud uneven throbs (跳动) that 46 my chest every few minutes. I went to the hospital, but doctors said they could do nothing except 47 it. So I turned to acupuncture (针灸). I didn’t know much about it, but something about it 48 to me. Through acupuncture, I found a kind of calm I hadn’t 49 in years. My mind cleared, my body felt stronger, and those frightening 50 became less noticeable. That experience 51 my interest. I began reading everything I could about acupuncture, not just the practical 52 , but the basic philosophy. I discovered that Chinese medicine teaches us that health isn’t something to hand over to someone else to 53 . Instead, it’s something to 54 and tend to every day — through our food, our emotional lives, our ability to 55 stress, and our relationship with nature and the seasons. 41.

For months, we had been dreaming about this moment, which marked the end of years of burying ourselves in hard work and staying dedicated. It was three months ago in a history class that we were drawn to its rich history, from the medieval (中世纪的) streets of the Gothic Quarter to the innovative architecture of Antoni Gaudi. The happiness of burying ourselves in a new culture, filled with amazing and new food and friendly people, heightened our excitement. However, despite our enthusiasm, we couldn’t ignore the fact that none of us spoke Spanish so fluently. On the day before setting off, we were still hesitant about whether to go or not. While surfing on the Internet for advice, we found that most people travelling to Barcelona considered the locals friendly and warm-hearted ones who are always willing to offer help. A sense of relief and expectation took the place of our worries. We made up our minds to go there. As we stepped off the plane, bathed in warm Spanish sunshine, our spirits rose high. We kicked off our journey with a wander down Las Ramblas, enjoying the energy and talent of street performers. Down by the street, the traditional buildings and precious cultural sites were a true feast for the eyes. Yet, as the days went by, unforeseen challenges began to take place. On the last day of the journey, as we were lost in the beauty of the amazing squares and traditional buildings, Sarah suggested that we could play the game of cat and mouse to better explore the architecture. After arranging our roles, we ran in different directions to hide, while the cat, Sarah, began to count down to find and catch us. 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。 Hiding myself in the corner of a hall, I carefully observed Sarah. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Panic seized our group as we found Sarah’s left arm bleeding. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
