DANUBE CYCLE PATH Crossing the river from its German source to its mouth in Romania constitutes an awe-inspiring 1,800-mile journey.However,its picturesque Austrian section offers a highly scenic alternative.Starting just across the German border in Passau,cyclists can conclude their journey in Slovakia,with Bratislava readily accessible from Vienna by train. C2C (Sea-to-Sea)ROUTE Modeled on the trans-England principle of Hadrian's Wall,this route negotiates the rough landform of the Lake District and North Pennines.Participants often observe the tradition of engaging their back wheel in the Irish Sea at the outset,and their front wheel in the North Sea upon reaching the edge of Newcastle. CANAL DU MIDI This global cultural treasure in France was designed with boats not bikes in mind, but its tree-lined canal paths make for a very civilized cycle.Exodus Travels'tour also takes in the historic walled town of Carcassonne from the Middle Ages and a chance to wash off the dust of the road on a pretty beach. CROSS CAPE This leg-testing journey crosses the southern tip of the Afican continent. Departing from Plettenberg Bay,the route progresses through the unique fynbos ecosystem,passes historic towns,and eventually reaches Stellenbosch,the heart of the Cape Winelands. Distance Typical Duration Official Resource DANUBE CYCLE PATH 250 miles About 8 days danube-cycle-path.com C2C (Sea-to-Sea)ROUTE 150 miles About 6 days c2c-guide.co.uk CANAL DU MIDI 120 miles About 5 days exodus.co.uk CROSS CAPE 450 miles About 14 days capecycleroutes.co.za 1.What is the primary purpose of the text?

D.To feature distinct cycling routes. 2.Which best suits cyclists seeking the most physically demanding challenge? A.DANUBE CYCLE PATH B.C2C (Sea-to-Sea)ROUTE C.CANAL DU MIDI. D.CROSS CAPE. 3.What is a common characteristic of all these trips? A.Being global cultural treasure. B.Offering transport flexibility. C.Integrating nature and culture D.Focusing on history and tradition 第3页，共10页 公 There's something timelessly immersive about audio storytelling-and Naomi Shah knows it.At 24,she established Meet Cute,an entertainment company specializing in short-form audio romantic comedies (rom-com).It has produced some 250 titles and reached 8.6 million downloads across streaming services. From day one,Meet Cute's mission was"to build stories at the speed of culture," Shah says."If something is trending on socials,we're able to incorporate it into a story."Moving quickly and meeting audiences "where they're at,"Shah says,enables Meet Cute to be "part of the conversation." Growing up in Portland,Ore.,Shah loved creative writing but was identified as a "STEM kid."She majored in mechanical engineering.Wanting something more creative and founder-facing,she joined the investment team at Union Square Ventures. Her employer wanted better odds,but the team couldn't find an entrepreneur ( with a convincing proposal.So Shah wrote one herself,drawing up the blueprints for such a company.Later,Union Square contributed the first of $9.3 million in backing. While Shah is a rom-com fan,she envisions Meet Cute's appeal lying not in specific genre (conventions,but in general feel-good,nonprescriptive escapism. "Rom-coms stand for hope,human connection and love,"says Shah.But why this approach -brief,audible,and upbeat?According to Shah,Meet Cute "brings entertainment into day-to-day tasks and pockets of time"when you can't dedicate hours to a screen.Plus,without concrete visuals,listeners'imaginations run wild. "Every single person is in the director's seat,"she says. Earlier this year,the company was acquired by Fox Entertainment,where Shah now serves as senior vice president of strategy and operations.Meet Cute can now tap the wealth of Fox-owned stories and convert them to audio,and it has multiple global platforms on which to distribute its stories. "It's not over,"Shah says."That is something that I'm very proud of:I've built something that's going to keep going. 24.What kind of content does Meet Cute seek to produce? A.Long and weighty. B.Classic and formal. C.Accurate and select. D.Timely and relatable 25.Which of the following best describes Shah's career path? A.A preset track. B.A tough climb. C.A cross-field leap. D.A comfort-zone choice. 26.What does Shah highlight as a desirable feature of Meet Cute? A.It fits into small time windows.B.It sticks to rom-com conventions. C.It supports independent directors.D.It provides step-by-step instructions 27.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Rise ofAudio Storytelling B.Mixing One's Business with Pleasure C.ASTEM Kid's Literary Creation Journey D.Why We Love Romantic Comedies 第4页，共10页 C Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ),where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules(多金属结核)are packed with cobalt(钴). Seabed-mining companies promote them as"a battery in a rock"and "the easiest way to solve climate change."They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles. Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure.Marine (biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness.The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity.A company claimed to have found a solution to minimize the damage to the ecology and has already trialed a 25-ton collector robot designed to harvest these nodules.However,a 2023 study shows it can cause permanent destruction in the area. Commercial mining is not yet permitted in international waters.The International Seabed Authority (ISA)is still determining how,and under what conditions,mining should be allowed.After 28 years of debate,its 168 member states still lack formal agreement.While companies advocate using nodule-collecting robots,437 scientists from 44 countries demand an immediate stop.ISA studies confirm that just 10% mining of the CCZ may wipe out 50%of its species. Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology.Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries In March,several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are "completely understood".Meanwhile,several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the switch,recycling up to 95%of metals from used batteries."Why rush to mine the ocean for metals becoming outdated?"said battery expert Gavin Harper. On June 8,21 marine scientists from 8 universities finished a six-week research in the CCZ and packed up seafloor samples to take back to their labs for further analysis."An assessment of the mining's impact will take years of research,"says Andrew from Edinburgh.'I'm trying to get the best environmental data.And then it's up to society to make the decision to go ahead." 28.Why are the nodules called "a battery in a rock"? A.They contain valuable metals.B.They have recharging qualities C.They own battery-like structures.D.They generate renewable power. 29.What can be inferred about the ISA? A.It prioritizes economic interests.B.It is cautious about seabed mining. C.It opposes commercial operations.D.It requires more technical support. 30.What does the author want to illustrate in Paragraph 4? A.Deep-sea mining meets demands.B.Carmakers reuse battery materials. C.Battery recycling needs promoting.D.Seabed mining for cobalt can wait. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Marine Mining,a Green Solution B.Cobalt,the Future of Batteries C.Ocean Metals,an Ocean Risk? D.CCZ,the Treasure Unknown? 第5页，共10页 D A recent robot sports competition showed humanoid robots running,falling, getting up,and continuing to the finish line.This event reflects the current state of AI and has raised public awareness.At the same time,rising AI stock (prices show that investors are optimistic about its future. In China,using AI in work and daily life has become a national goal.Last month, the State Council released a plan for the "AI+"initiative.This plan aims to bring AI into all industries over 10 years,in three stages,to build new smart economic and social systems. A survey shows that 53.1%of people are excited about Al,26%are pleasantly surprised,and 11%feel negative.This optimism comes from the belief that AI will change life just like mobile internet did.This is similar to the success of China's "Internet+"plan over the past ten years,which helped improve industries and people's lives. However,AI also brings worries.Some fear that AI"silicon ()-based workers" might take human jobs,and that relying too much on AI could weaken human thinking skills.Research from MIT found that people who use AI a lot have weaker brain connections.Other current problems include "black boxes"(when AI gives unpredictable results because it learns from data)and "model hallucinations"(when AI gives wrong answers based on untested data). Although some people are worried,this will not stop AI from moving forward.As an important area in global competition,AI's development is certain.The "Al"plan also focuses on safety and includes rules to prevent misuse.Like other major new technologies in the past,AI will need time to improve.Experts say today's problems will help the industry become more careful and lead to important breakthroughs in the future. 32.What is the main goal of China's "AI+initiative mentioned in the text? A.To reduce the price of AI stocks. B.To combine AI with all industries. C.To stop people from using AI in daily life. D.To make AI robots win all sports competitions 33.Why are many people optimistic about AI? A.Because they think AI will change life B.Because AI will replace all human jobs. C.Because AI can solve all health problems. D.Because AI robots are faster than humans. 34.What does the underlined phrase"model hallucinations"mean? A.AI robots making errors during tasks B.Weaker brain connections in AI users. C.AI mistakes caused by unproven data. D.Unpredictable results from AI learning from data 35.What is the author's attitude toward AI's future? A.Totally indifferent,ignoring AI. B.Fully negative,fearing job losses 第6页，共10页 C.Deeply doubtful,questioning AI's value. D.Cautiously hopeful,balancing risks and progress 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 everyday communication,we exchange not only logical information but also emotions,attitudes and inner states.Since human beings are emotional creatures,our decisions,whether significant or trivial,are often driven more by emotions than by pure reason.Therefore,to express strong emotions clearly,we tend to use words like very,so and truly in daily language.36 Verbal intensifiers (are special function words that enhance the meaning, especially the emotional meaning of the words they are attached to.37 According to Buzarov(1998),intensification is a stable and vital feature of informal language.Words such as awfully,deeply,tremendously,and truly help speakers strengthen emotional impact and influence listeners'psychological perception. 38 In English,we often say "I am deeply grateful"or"He is dead tired." Other languages also have similar words:oyer in Russian,sehr in German,tres in French.Some new intensifiers are even created by combining words,like fantabulous from fantastic and fabulous. To make the most of intensifiers,we should use them with a clear purpose.Do not use them mindlessly.39 Connect them with your genuine attitude and focus on conveying precise emotions.This way,appropriate use of intensifiers will make our words more powerful and sincere. Intensifiers,like any other linguistic tool,work best in the right context. 40 However,overusing them without necessity will only weaken their expressive effect and make our words sound empty.Mastering them wisely helps us become more proficient and persuasive communicators. A.Proper use is a smart linguistic choice. B.These function words have great expressive value C.You'd better use them to express real ideas and emotions. D.Using intensifiers at will influences emotional expression E.Intensifiers are used to simplify the meaning of other words. F.This is why verbal intensifiers have emerged in languages worldwide G.They are commonly employed across languages and take on diverse forms. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的 最佳选项。 When I was six years old,my entire body went up in flames.It took me a year of being treated at a number of hospitals to 41.I lost all grasp of reality,and tried to 42 day by day. 43 into society as a young adult was tough.Looking 44 meant I got bullied,and I found it hard to get a job.I was sick and tired of the world treating me like a 45.That's when I got the idea to make a change.At 25,I decided to 第7页，共10页 46 my local volunteer fire academy.

She read market reports on the subway,ate salad at her desk,and even practised her presentation while brushing her hair.Her small apartment,a thousand miles from home,witnessed all her efforts:notes,charts and presentation drafts covered the living-room table. "Amy,you're on fire!"her manager laughed one Monday.The words kept Amy smiling all afternoon.Then a company e-mail arrived: Amy,congratulations!You are this year's Outstanding New Employee.Please give an eight-minute speech at the company's annual meeting on Sunday morning. Amy's heart jumped.She read the message again and again.That night she sat at her desk and wrote about the coffee that grew cold,the code that finally worked at 2 a.m.and the pride she felt when her first project helped the team win a new client Yet,from time to time,a faint guilt brushed her heart.She remembered her mother's soft voice in their last video call:"Don't work too hard,sweetheart,You're already great.Come home for a rest."Each time Amy whispered to herself,"Next month,Mum -on your birthday." She spent the next evenings perfecting every word and gesture.On Saturday evening she felt ready.Then the phone rang.It was Dad. "Amy,tomorrow's your mum's fiftieth birthday.We're planning a simple lunch. When are you coming home?" Mum's birthday!How could I forget?Shame washed over Amy.She opened her mouth,but no words came out.The meeting,the carefully prepared speech and her colleagues'proud smiles all suddenly felt heavy in her chest. "Dad,the company's annual meeting is also tomorrow.I was supposed to give a speech as the Outstanding New Employee..."Her voice was tight with conflict. "Oh,congratulations,sweetie.I understand-it's a big day.Your mum will be so proud....Amy remained frozen for a moment,not knowing how the call ended.Then her eye fell on her family photo on the desk,with her parents on either side. 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。 第9页，共10页 Seeing the happy smiles on their faces,she knew what she had to do.
