For most of my life, I treated taste as fixed. There were things I liked and things I didn’t, and that was that.
Sticking to that belief had left me in a bit of a standstill. I stopped making time for new hobbies or trying anything new. Salsa lessons? No, thanks. Interactive theatre? Not for me. But my automatic “no” to anything that “wasn’t my thing” only kept me trapped in the same routine of work, sleep, eating, and that left me feeling listless and a little empty.
So, in an effort to break the boredom, I began to question whether my taste was fixed at all, or whether it might be something I could train. I had read that children need 8 to 15 tries to accept a new food. Why shouldn’t the same principle apply to social activities for adults?
I started small. When a friend invited me to a book club, I resisted the urge to dismiss it, despite my longstanding dislike of reading due to dyslexia (阅读障碍症). But I went anyway. I listened to the first book on audio book and, to my surprise, enjoyed the discussion and the people. Now I spend mornings reading. Then came music and performance: jazz clubs, line dancing, contemporary performance — all things I had previously ignored.
Trying things you thought you wouldn’t enjoy, I found, became oddly addictive. I didn’t love everything straight away, but I stopped saying no before I had even begun. Most recently, I tried out my local library’s chess club. I was easily 30 years younger than everyone else, but that didn’t matter. Honestly, there was nothing quite like being wiped off the board by someone who had been playing since before your parents met. I felt more of a connection with others there than at any organized twenty-something social event I’ve attended.
Putting “try something new” in my diary once a week broke up the work-commute-collapse cycle I had accidentally built my life around. Now I simply count to five, approach the friendliest-looking person with a “hello”, and any initial awkwardness quickly fades. Next week? Who knows. Maybe magic lessons. Maybe life drawing. Maybe both.
4. How did the author’s fixed idea affect her?
A. It simplified her daily routine.
B. It left her more time for work.
C. It flattened her life into dullness.
D. It spared her unwanted socializing.
5. Why did the author accept her friend’s invitation to a book club?
A. To make a conscious shift in her life.
B. To revisit a former interest in reading.
C. To meet her friend’s repeated requests.
D. To occupy a blank in her personal calendar.
6. How did the author feel when losing the chess game?
A. Totally relieved. B. Slightly puzzled. C. Rather embarrassed. D. Somewhat delighted.
7. What message does the author try to convey?
A. Learn to say no. B. Break out of your shell.
C. Look before you leap. D. Let go of the past.

Robert Campbell, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Glasgow, has lived with type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) for a decade. Recently, worrying blurriness in his vision prompted him to seek a screening for diabetic retinopathy — a diabetes-related eye disease that causes blindness. Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service.
His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called “RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert's retina (视网膜). Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community.
The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by human tiredness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care.
“Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.”
The Glasgow pilot has already yielded promising results. In its first six months, the program successfully screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it has accurately tagged hundreds of at risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful impact on patient outcomes.
Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings.
8. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the the AI program was introduced?
A. He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease.
B. His eye disease was too advanced to be treated.
C. His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment.
D. He had to wait long for a specialist appointment.
9. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text?
A. It replaces the need for human doctors.
B. It provides immediate treatment for patients.
C. It offers quick and accurate screening in communities.
D. It is cheaper than traditional screening methods.
10. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”?
A. They finally avoid vision loss. B. They conduct initial screenings.
C. They treat complex diseases. D. They work without specialists.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Is AI the Doctor’s Newest Assistant? B. How is AI Transforming Eye Care?
C. What Could AI Contribute to Humans? D. Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors?
D
In the crystal-clear waters near Talamone, Italy, an extraordinary sight awaits beneath the Mediterranean Sea’s surface. Mermaids, towering giants and enormous sculptural eyes gaze upward from the ocean floor, creating an otherworldly underwater gallery that serves a crucial environmental purpose. This unique initiative represents one innovative fisherman’s determined effort to protect vital fishing grounds from the disastrous impact of commercial fishing nets that threaten marine ecosystems.
The underwater sculpture garden operates on a simple yet effective principle that strategically placed artistic installations (安装工程) work alongside concrete blocks to physically obstruct and break the fishing nets that destroy marine life. These massive fishing nets, dragged across the seafloor by commercial vessels, destroy delicate underwater habitats and deplete fish populations that local fishing communities depend upon for their livelihood.
The project has evolved beyond its initial conservation goals to become a cooperative effort involving local educational institutions and young artists. Students from a high school in nearby Grosseto have actively participated in the initiative, creating specialized sculptural works designed to serve two purposes. These student-crafted pieces not only contribute to the anti-fishing barrier system but also provide alternative habitats for marine creatures. By offering the marine species a safe shelter within the sculptural installations, the project helps reduce their vulnerability to illegal fishing practices while supporting natural population recovery.
The fisherman behind the initiative recognized that traditional regulatory approaches alone were not enough to fulfill the environmental commitment. And the sculptures themselves have captured international attention while serving practical conservation purposes. Each piece sunk to the Mediterranean floor contributes to a growing underwater museum that tells the story of local efforts to preserve marine biodiversity.
As the sculpture garden continues to expand, it serves as an inspiring example of how art and environmental protection can work together to create lasting positive change in marine ecosystems.
12. What is the purpose of the underwater sculptures?
A. To protect underwater ecosystems. B. To promote local fishing industry.
C. To raise environmental awareness. D. To create an attractive artistic gallery.
13. What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Carefully manage. B. Gradually relocate.
C. Significantly reduce. D. Successfully protect.
14. What can we learn about the project in paragraph 3?
A. The project calls for more support from students and artists.
B. The project has expanded into a community-based initiative.
C. The sculptures have managed to stop practices of illegal fishing.
D. The sculptures show superior artistic skills of the young participants.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Art in the depths: A New Fashion in Italy
B. Sculpting a Shield: Art Meets Conservation
C. From Gallery to Fishery: The Power of Students
D. Guarding the Deep: Traditional Ways of Protection

47. 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。
The first-day anxiety was impossible to ignore as Lucy Falls walked into her new school. Though she was excited for the opportunity to study cinema at the School of the Arts, she now wondered if she had made a terrible mistake by transferring (转学) in the middle of the year.
Finishing her paperwork had worn her out. The office assistant had instructed her to take the staircase on the right down to the basement. Just as Lucy started walking, the bell for first period rang. She marched quickly and made it to the staircase. Distracted (使分心) by a group of students taking selfies or making videos, Lucy tripped over her first step. She fell and then skidded all the way to the bottom, purse and bag sliding down behind her.
“Smooth feet, newbie!”
“That’s gotta hurt!”
As she picked herself up, Lucy couldn’t decide what hurt more — her body or her pride. She took a few deep breaths and realized she was now standing in front of her first-period class. “Only like four people saw me fall,” she told herself. “No big deal.”
First period went by uneventfully. By the time she was headed to second period, she had thrown the fall to the back of her mind. When she pushed open the door to Intro to Cinema, the class she was most looking forward to, students looked her way and whispers snaked from group to group. Lucy felt her face get hot. A couple of kids were gathered in the back around one of the classroom laptops, and she assumed they were talking about her.
“Settle down, class,” the teacher said to the students, who quieted. She directed her attention toward Lucy and gave her a welcoming smile. “You must be Lucy Falls. Today we are discussing our 30-second film project. I believe the details were in the outline you received before you transferred. You can join group four,” she said, directing a pointed look to the group at the back of the classroom.
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。
Paragraph 1:
Fearing the worst, Lucy approached the group.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Her fall was now being transformed into a dramatic scene.

What’s more, our guide takes you to hidden spots like Stanley Park’s secret garden and English Bay’s quiet benches, where you can take stunning photos without competing for space.

For most of my life, I treated taste as fixed. There were things I liked and things I didn’t, and that was that.
Sticking to that belief had left me in a bit of a standstill. I stopped making time for new hobbies or trying anything new. Salsa lessons? No, thanks. Interactive theatre? Not for me. But my automatic “no” to anything that “wasn’t my thing” only kept me trapped in the same routine of work, sleep, eating, and that left me feeling listless and a little empty.
So, in an effort to break the boredom, I began to question whether my taste was fixed at all, or whether it might be something I could train. I had read that children need 8 to 15 tries to accept a new food. Why shouldn’t the same principle apply to social activities for adults?

Now I simply count to five, approach the friendliest-looking person with a “hello”, and any initial awkwardness quickly fades. Next week? Who knows. Maybe magic lessons. Maybe life drawing. Maybe both.
4. How did the author’s fixed idea affect her?
A. It simplified her daily routine.
B. It left her more time for work.
C. It flattened her life into dullness.
D. It spared her unwanted socializing.
5. Why did the author accept her friend’s invitation to a book club?
A. To make a conscious shift in her life.
B. To revisit a former interest in reading.
C. To meet her friend’s repeated requests.
D. To occupy a blank in her personal calendar.
6. How did the author feel when losing the chess game?
A. Totally relieved. B. Slightly puzzled. C. Rather embarrassed. D. Somewhat delighted.
7. What message does the author try to convey?
A. Learn to say no. B. Break out of your shell.
C. Look before you leap. D. Let go of the past.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者曾认为喜好固定,拒绝新事物,生活单调空虚。为改变现状,她主动尝试读书、下棋等,逐渐走出舒适区,生活变得充实有趣。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But my automatic “no” to anything that “wasn’t my thing” only kept me trapped in the same routine of work, sleep, eating, and that left me feeling listless and a little empty.(但我对任何不属于自己的事物都本能地拒绝,这使我陷入了重复的工作、睡眠、饮食的循环之中,这让我感到无精打采,内心也有些空虚)”可知,这位作者的固执想法使她的生活变得毫无生气,变得枯燥乏味。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“So, in an effort to break the boredom, I began to question whether my taste was fixed at all, or whether it might be something I could train.(因此,为了摆脱这种无聊的感觉,我开始思考自己的品味到底是否是固定不变的,还是说这或许是可以通过训练来改变的)”可知,作者接受朋友邀请参加读书俱乐部是为了有意地改变自己的生活状态。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Honestly, there was nothing quite like being wiped off the board by someone who had been playing since before your parents met. I felt more of a connection with others there than at any organized twenty-something social event I’ve attended. (说实话,被一位早在你父母相识之前就开始玩的老手打得落花流水,那种体验真的无可比拟。在那里,我与他人产生的共鸣,比我参加过的任何一场专为二十几岁年轻人组织的社交活动都要强烈)”可知,当作者输掉那场棋局时,他当时的心情稍许感到高兴。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Putting “try something new” in my diary once a week broke up the work-commute-collapse cycle I had accidentally built my life around. Now I simply count to five, approach the friendliest-looking person with a “hello”, and any initial awkwardness quickly fades. Next week? Who knows. Maybe magic lessons. Maybe life drawing. Maybe both.( 每周在日程本上写下“尝试新事物”,彻底打破了我无意中陷入的“工作—通勤—瘫倒”的死循环。如今,我只需默数五下,上前对看起来最友善的人说声“你好”,起初那点尴尬便会很快烟消云散。至于下周?谁知道呢。也许是魔法课,也许是人体写生,也许两者都要)”可知,每周在作者日程表上的环节,打破了作者原本无意间构建起来的以工作、通勤和崩溃为循环的生活模式,可推理出作者想要表达的是放开自己内心的束缚。

Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by human tiredness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care.
“Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.”
The Glasgow pilot has already yielded promising results. In its first six months, the program successfully screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it has accurately tagged hundreds of at risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful impact on patient outcomes.
Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings.
8. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the the AI program was introduced?
A. He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease.
B. His eye disease was too advanced to be treated.
C. His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment.
D. He had to wait long for a specialist appointment.
9. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text?
A. It replaces the need for human doctors.
B. It provides immediate treatment for patients.
C. It offers quick and accurate screening in communities.
D. It is cheaper than traditional screening methods.
10. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”?
A. They finally avoid vision loss. B. They conduct initial screenings.
C. They treat complex diseases. D. They work without specialists.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Is AI the Doctor’s Newest Assistant? B. How is AI Transforming Eye Care?
C. What Could AI Contribute to Humans? D. Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors?
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. B

D
In the crystal-clear waters near Talamone, Italy, an extraordinary sight awaits beneath the Mediterranean Sea’s surface. Mermaids, towering giants and enormous sculptural eyes gaze upward from the ocean floor, creating an otherworldly underwater gallery that serves a crucial environmental purpose. This unique initiative represents one innovative fisherman’s determined effort to protect vital fishing grounds from the disastrous impact of commercial fishing nets that threaten marine ecosystems.
The underwater sculpture garden operates on a simple yet effective principle that strategically placed artistic installations (安装工程) work alongside concrete blocks to physically obstruct and break the fishing nets that destroy marine life. These massive fishing nets, dragged across the seafloor by commercial vessels, destroy delicate underwater habitats and deplete fish populations that local fishing communities depend upon for their livelihood.
The project has evolved beyond its initial conservation goals to become a cooperative effort involving local educational institutions and young artists. Students from a high school in nearby Grosseto have actively participated in the initiative, creating specialized sculptural works designed to serve two purposes. These student-crafted pieces not only contribute to the anti-fishing barrier system but also provide alternative habitats for marine creatures. By offering the marine species a safe shelter within the sculptural installations, the project helps reduce their vulnerability to illegal fishing practices while supporting natural population recovery.
The fisherman behind the initiative recognized that traditional regulatory approaches alone were not enough to fulfill the environmental commitment. And the sculptures themselves have captured international attention while serving practical conservation purposes. Each piece sunk to the Mediterranean floor contributes to a growing underwater museum that tells the story of local efforts to preserve marine biodiversity.
As the sculpture garden continues to expand, it serves as an inspiring example of how art and environmental protection can work together to create lasting positive change in marine ecosystems.
12. What is the purpose of the underwater sculptures?
A. To protect underwater ecosystems. B. To promote local fishing industry.
C. To raise environmental awareness. D. To create an attractive artistic gallery.
13. What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Carefully manage. B. Gradually relocate.
C. Significantly reduce. D. Successfully protect.
14. What can we learn about the project in paragraph 3?
A. The project calls for more support from students and artists.
B. The project has expanded into a community-based initiative.
C. The sculptures have managed to stop practices of illegal fishing.
D. The sculptures show superior artistic skills of the young participants.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Art in the depths: A New Fashion in Italy
B. Sculpting a Shield: Art Meets Conservation
C. From Gallery to Fishery: The Power of Students
D. Guarding the Deep: Traditional Ways of Protection
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. B
【解析】

(这一独特的举措代表了一位创新渔民保护重要渔场免受威胁海洋生态系统的商业捕鱼网灾难性影响的坚定努力。)”以及第二段“The underwater sculpture garden operates on a simple yet effective principle that strategically placed artistic installations (安装工程) work alongside concrete blocks to physically obstruct and break the fishing nets that destroy marine life. (水下雕塑花园遵循一个简单而有效的原则,即战略性地放置艺术装置与混凝土块一起,从物理上阻挡和破坏破坏海洋生物的渔网。)”可知,水下雕塑的目的是保护水下生态系统。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“These massive fishing nets, dragged across the seafloor by commercial vessels, destroy delicate underwater habitats and deplete fish populations that local fishing communities depend upon for their livelihood. (这些巨大的渔网被商船拖过海底,破坏了脆弱的水下栖息地,并使当地渔业社区赖以生存的鱼类数量____。)”可知,渔网对鱼类数量造成的影响是负面的,结合选项可知,应该是“使鱼类数量减少”,所以deplete意思是“显著减少”。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The project has evolved beyond its initial conservation goals to become a cooperative effort involving local educational institutions and young artists. Students from a high school in nearby Grosseto have actively participated in the initiative, creating specialized sculptural works designed to serve two purposes. (该项目已经超越了最初的保护目标,发展成为一项涉及当地教育机构和年轻艺术家的合作努力。附近格罗塞托一所高中的学生积极参与了这项倡议,创作了具有两种用途的专门雕塑作品。)”可知,该项目已经发展成为一个社区性的倡议,涉及到当地的教育机构和年轻艺术家。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据最后一段“As the sculpture garden continues to expand, it serves as an inspiring example of how art and environmental protection can work together to create lasting positive change in marine ecosystems. (随着雕塑花园的不断扩大,它成为艺术与环境保护如何共同努力,为海洋生态系统带来持久积极变化的一个鼓舞人心的例子。)”可知,文章主要讲述了水下雕塑花园如何将艺术与海洋保护相结合,所以B项“Sculpting a Shield: Art Meets Conservation (塑造盾牌:艺术与保护相遇)”是最佳标题。故选B项。

The village we visited was a shining example of rural revitalization. What left the deepest impression on me was the high-tech farm, where advanced technologies such as drip irrigation and drones were being utilized. Additionally, local artisans showcased their centuries-old bamboo weaving techniques, creating exquisite artworks that are sold globally through e-commerce platforms.
This eye-opening experience reshaped my understanding of rural China. I realized that technological advancements are not only breathing new life into villages but also maintaining cultural continuity. I’m genuinely proud of the rural development in our country.
Hope you can visit China’s countryside someday to experience its unique charm firsthand!
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
The first-day anxiety was impossible to ignore as Lucy Falls walked into her new school. Though she was excited for the opportunity to study cinema at the School of the Arts, she now wondered if she had made a terrible mistake by transferring (转学) in the middle of the year.
Finishing her paperwork had worn her out. The office assistant had instructed her to take the staircase on the right down to the basement. Just as Lucy started walking, the bell for first period rang. She marched quickly and made it to the staircase. Distracted (使分心) by a group of students taking selfies or making videos, Lucy tripped over her first step. She fell and then skidded all the way to the bottom, purse and bag sliding down behind her.
“Smooth feet, newbie!”
“That’s gotta hurt!”
As she picked herself up, Lucy couldn’t decide what hurt more — her body or her pride. She took a few deep breaths and realized she was now standing in front of her first-period class. “Only like four people saw me fall,” she told herself. “No big deal.”
First period went by uneventfully. By the time she was headed to second period, she had thrown the fall to the back of her mind. When she pushed open the door to Intro to Cinema, the class she was most looking forward to, students looked her way and whispers snaked from group to group. Lucy felt her face get hot. A couple of kids were gathered in the back around one of the classroom laptops, and she assumed they were talking about her.
“Settle down, class,” the teacher said to the students, who quieted. She directed her attention toward Lucy and gave her a welcoming smile. “You must be Lucy Falls. Today we are discussing our 30-second film project. I believe the details were in the outline you received before you transferred. You can join group four,” she said, directing a pointed look to the group at the back of the classroom.
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。
Paragraph 1:
Fearing the worst, Lucy approached the group.

Paragraph 2:
Her fall was now being transformed into a dramatic scene.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文:
Fearing the worst, Lucy approached the group. Instead of teasing her, she was greeted with bright, excited grins. “We were just talking about your fall!” one student said, leaning forward, “It’s perfect for our project’s opening — raw, chaotic, and totally relatable!” Lucy’s tense shoulders softened, and she let out a shaky laugh. As she stepped closer, the group shifted over to make space, patting the seat beside them. At that moment, she saw that showing her awkward side wasn’t a flaw — it was the spark of a story waiting to be told.
Her fall was now being transformed into a dramatic scene. They mapped out the shot: the clatter of her bag, the slow-motion skid, the quiet moment she picked herself up. After slow-motion effects and background music were added, the awkward moment was soon turned into something visually striking. One of them even excitedly suggested using Lucy’s name, as a play on words, for their project: “Lucy Falls”. Lucy smiled to herself, thinking, “Lucy did fall, but this time, I might just leave a lasting impression”, realizing that sometimes even a fall could lead to something extraordinary.
