Grammar and vocabulary Section A (10%) For decades, families relied on letter writers like Jiang Mingdian to stay connected with relatives abroad. At 77, Jiang may be the last remaining writer of qiaopi (侨批) — remittance letters (21) _______ (exchange) between Chinese migrants overseas and the families they left behind. Often sent together with money from abroad, the letters once served as a vital lifeline between relatives separated by migration. For nearly six decades, Jiang (22) _______ (help) people put difficult things into words: asking overseas relatives for money, delivering news of a death, settling family grievances, or writing to loved ones they had not seen in years. Requests for money were rarely written directly. Instead, Jiang might phrase the message (23, _______ (delicately): “I’ve been ill and bedridden lately.” Soon afterward, a remittance might arrive. During the peak years of emigration to Southeast Asia, entire villages depended on letter writers like Jiang to communicate with relatives abroad. In Shishi, (24) _______, many residents were once illiterate or semi-literate, more than 20 letter-writing stalls competed (25) _______ ’customers. Today, Jiang writes only a handful of overseas family letters each year. Most mornings, he arrives at his stall at 9 a.m. and packs up around sunset. Sitting beneath a retractable beach umbrella, he arranges the same objects he has carried for decades: a fountain pen, (26) _______ (tear) dictionaries, stone paperweights collected from the shore, and a rusted tin box holding the calligraphy brushes left behind by his father. Jiang grew up in a family of educators.

The only one he still reads regularly is Cankaoxiaoxi, a state-run paper largely dedicated to translating foreign reporting for Chinese readers. “(30) _______ _______ _______ people still need me,” Jiang says, “I will continue.” Section B (10%) Directions: Complete the article with the words or phrases in the box. Each word or phrasecan only be used once. There is one extra that you do not need. A. barrier B. blend C. dedicating D. dilemma E. dimension F. perceptual G. sensible H. shape I. translate J. triggered K. yielded Virtual reality has proven less popular than American tech companies once hoped. Facebook rebranded to Meta, expecting everyone to enter “the metaverse,” but faced massive losses. Apple’s Vision Pro also failed to gain support. But in China, 2025 was the year when explosive growth in VR was 31 — not as home headsets, but as interactive shows. These “location-based entertainment virtual reality” (LBE VR) shows 32 the way participants perceive foreign landmarks, explore historical events, or enter animated movie universes. China has become the core growth driver of this global market. The boom started with “The Lost Pharaoh,” where users explore ancient Egyptian ruins like the Great Pyramid of Giza. After opening in Paris in 2022, it launched in Shanghai in 2023, drawing huge crowds and accounting for nearly half of its global revenue. This success started a craze. International projects now allow visits to Paris’ Notre-Dame or Spain’s Prado Museum. Domestic institutions are also 33 resources to developing their own experiences. Over 200 domestic VR experiences have rolled out nationwide. Tickets are typically around 100 yuan, and shows last 30 to 45 minutes. Themes 34 Chinese cultural heritage, like the Qin and Tang dynasties, with natural history and sci-fi. An interactive VR version of the animated movie “Chang An” lets participants take the role of Tang-era students, taking imperial exams and fighting on battlefields. The hit movie “Nobody” also has a VR version where participants fight alongside the characters. “The Recluse Dongpo,” developed with the Shanghai Library, lets users follow the poet Su Shi through his career and exile. However, the overall quality of VR experiences in China has not yet 35 experiences of particularly high standards. Shows are often similar in subject matter and narrative design, mostly following the framework of “The Lost Pharaoh.” The 36 quality is also limited, acting as a(n) 37 as many productions lack advanced interaction. Developers often struggle to tackle the 38 of thinking outside their boxes, often treating VR as an extension of movies, games, or exhibitions rather than independent creations with a new 39 . The boom shows no signs of slowing. Investors and producers should not solely consider revenue, but recognize that only high-quality works will stand the test of time. By focusing on content and user emotions, we can create digital experiences that 40 into genuine emotions. III. Reading comprehension Section A (15%) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Short-form videos have become one of the dominant ways young people interact with social media. These are clips lasting seconds up to a few minutes, powered by personalized algorithms that are deeply immersive and precisely 41 to users’ interests, with endless autoplay and infinite scroll providing no stopping cues. These clips are standard in platforms like TikTok, and are designed to keep attention locked in. This design matters because it encourages repeated, often automatic 42 . Users don’t need to decide what to watch next, as the platform decides for them. Over time, this may shape how attention, mood, and motivation are 43 , especially in children and adolescents whose brains are still developing. As concern grows about the mental health impacts of social media, researchers have increasingly turned their attention to short-form video. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis by Nguyen and colleagues pulled together 70 studies to 44 how this type of content use is linked to mental health, cognition, and well-being. Rather than focusing on a(n) 45 study, meta-analyses pool results across many studies to better understand overall effects and who is at greatest risk. Across the studies included in the review, higher levels of short-form video use were 46 associated with poorer mental health outcomes, particularly among adolescents and young adults. Importantly, these associations were strongest when use was frequent, emotionally 47 or felt difficult to control. These 48 reflect how and why young people interact with these platforms, not simply how long they use them. Beyond mental health, this review also examined how short-form video use relates to cognitive functioning, including executive functioning abilities that are 49 for success in school and work. Across studies, a consistent pattern emerged, particularly in young people: heavier and more compulsive short-form video use was linked to poorer cognitive outcomes. The fast-paced, highly 50 , and repetitive nature of short-form video may 51 the ability to focus on slower, effortful tasks and place additional strain on developing cognitive systems. The results suggest that short-form video platforms 52 youth mental health and cognition during adolescence, a particularly 53 period in development. The results highlight the danger of these videos and highlight the need to 54 the platforms’ designs and algorithms to protect youth well-being and cognition, as well as undertake measures to limit use and 55 . Several countries, such as Australia and the United Kingdom, have imposed bans on social media for teens under 16 years of age, with other countries considering the same measures. 41. A. tuned B. tailored C. limited D. reflected 42. A. engagement B. maintenance C. display D. refreshment 43. A. carved B. extracted C. regulated D. influenced 44. A. examine B. convince C. represent D. explore 45. A. random B. existent C. original D. single 46. A. consistently B. unceasingly C. inevitably D. permanently 47.

A. access B. barrier C. exhibit D. exposure Section B (22%) Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. （A） UP THE STAIRS In fourth grade, I spent a summer living with my grandparents. Granddad would often recline in bed, his right leg cocked, and regale me with stories like an aging son of the manor. When he was about thirteen, he fled famine in Shandong and came to Liaoning Province. A shop owner noticed his physique and asked him to lift a hundred-pound bag of rice. “I managed to get it over my head. My heart felt ready to jump out of my mouth.” The man hired him as a lackey at his grain store. Not only could Granddad finally eat his fill; he also quickly learned how to use an abacus, handle sales, keep accounts, and even take care of the shop owner’s children. When the People’s Liberation Army reached Shenyang, the shop was turned into a people’s granary, and grandad was put in charge of the owner. “He was dead within a few years. I gave his wife two months of my wages. I never saw the family again.” Granddad spent his first year of retirement gardening. The following year, at the age of sixty-one, he had a heart attack. There were no warning signs. He didn’t drink, and rarely smoked. My mother found him stuck full of tubes at the hospital. The doctor said that his arteries were clogged, and he needed surgery; he had a one-in-ten chance of surviving. The operation was a success. He emerged from the hospital looking more or less the same as when he entered it. The doctor said that he’d have to quit smoking, and to take extra care doing two things: using a squat toilet and going up the stairs. The afternoon I finished my final exams in junior high, in the summer of 1999, my mother knocked on my bedroom door. “Your Granddad died last week. I didn’t want to distract you from your exams. He had another heart attack.” It had been exactly ten years since his first one. “My heart is breaking.” Granddad had apparently taken the bus quite a distance and walked very far that day, to reach a certain apartment building. My mother said no one in our family knew of this place, nor had we ever heard Granddad mention it. On the eighth floor of this building lived a woman who was also in her seventies. The elevator was broken. Step by step, Granddad climbed up seven flights of stairs and knocked on her door. According to the investigation that followed, the woman was shocked. She said it had been decades since she and Granddad had seen each other, but she knew who he was right away. He smiled, and looked like he was about to speak, but before he could get the first word out he crashed to her living-room floor, and a few seconds later stopped breathing. The woman was the only witness. 56. What caused the shop owner to hire the author’s granddad? A. His ability to use an abacus. B. His experience in keeping accounts. C. His strength to lift a heavy bag of rice. D. His skill in taking care of children. 57. What did the doctor warn Granddad to be especially careful about after his first heart attack? A. Using a squat toilet and climbing stairs. B. Smoking and drinking. C. Lifting heavy objects and running. D. Gardening and walking long distances. 58. What can be inferred about Granddad from his final climb to the eighth floor? A. He wanted to challenge his physical limits. B. He was determined to see that woman despite his weak heart. C. He didn’t remember the doctor’s advice. D. He went there to ask for help. 59. Based on the details provided in the passage, which of the following best describes Granddad’s character? A. Emotional and careless. B. Strong-minded and loyal. C. Quiet and fatigued. D. Nostalgic and wise. （B） Succeed Again with a University of Maryland Global’Campus Online Program University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) was founded specifically to serve the higher education needs of working adults and service members.

The promise of sugar substitutes is simple: found in everything from yogurts to toothpaste, they claim to let people gorge on sweet treats without piling on weight and the tooth decay caused by sugar-loving bacteria. Now a growing body of research is suggesting that these substances may have surprisingly bitter consequences. Sugar substitutes are a mixed sachet. They include synthetic concoctions (such as aspartame, saccharin and sucralose) and substances derived from plants, including a family of carbohydrates known as sugar alcohols (such as erythritol, maltitol, sorbitol and xylitol) and stevia. Some strike the human tongue as hundreds of times sweeter than sugar, so are added in tiny amounts to foods and drinks. These small quantities, combined with the observation that many are excreted largely unchanged, have led to the assumption that they pass through the human body without affecting metabolism. Things may not be so simple. In some randomised controlled trials (typically lasting 4-12 weeks) substituting other sweeteners for sugars did admittedly result in lower weight gain. But a number of large, long-term observational studies have found the opposite: people with higher consumption of sugar substitutes — some of whom may be using these to replace sugar in their diets — end up putting on more weight than those who consume the least. Other studies show that they also end up with higher rates of heart problems, diabetes and cancer than abstainers. Proving causality through such observational studies is difficult, as it would involve accounting for all the ways in which people who eat lots of sugar substitutes are different from those who do not. It could be, for example, that some consumers of these sweeteners are people who are already at high risk for diabetes or heart disease and looking to eat more healthily. Even without a smoking gun, however, the overall body of research was concerning enough to prompt the World Health Organisation to issue, in 2023, precautionary advice against the use of sugar substitutes as a means to control weight or prevent chronic diseases. (The advice does not apply to people with diabetes.) There are plenty of hypotheses concerning how sugar substitutes could be causing harm. Some of these substances have been found to activate the same harmful gut and metabolic signalling mechanisms as sugar, and some studies in mice suggest that they could be affecting the function of immune cells involved in preventing the growth of tumours. Emerging evidence also suggests that they can affect the relative abundance of various gut bacteria, potentially tipping the scales in favour of harmful species. There are lots of open questions to be answered regarding the safety of sugar substitutes, says Herbert Tilg from the Medical University of Innsbruck, in Austria, but these studies are raising the level of concern. 63. What does the phrase “a mixed sachet” in paragraph 2 most likely mean? A. A small package containing different sweeteners. B. A mixture of both benefits and risks. C. A group of substances with various origins and properties. D. A collection of synthetic chemicals only. 64. Why does the author mention randomised controlled trials and long-term observational studies in paragraph 3? A. To prove that sugar substitutes are completely safe. B. To show the contradiction between short-term and long-term findings. C. To explain how sugar substitutes affect gut bacteria. D. To recommend sugar substitutes for weight loss. 65. What can be inferred about the World Health Organisation’s advice on sugar substitutes? A. It is based on solid proof of direct harm. B. It applies to all people, including diabetics. C. It is a caution based on concerning but not conclusive evidence. D. It strongly recommends using natural sweeteners instead. 66. According to the last two paragraphs, what is a possible mechanism by which sugar substitutes could cause harm? A. They directly kill immune cells in the gut. B. They change the balance of gut bacteria in favour of harmful ones. C. They are absorbed into the blood and damage the heart. D. They make people eat more sugar than before. Section C (4%) Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then choose the sentences that can be filled into the blanks. Note there are two more sentences than can be used. A. AI-animated soap operas featuring talking cats may sound wild but have become a big hit in China. B. However, most viewers still prefer traditional long-form dramas for their emotional depth. C. The success of AI micro-dramas has led to a sharp increase in advertising revenue for streaming platforms. D. One producer says that in early April he knew only a few non-AI-animated micro-dramas being shown in China. E. Another problem is the very nature of this entertainment. F. China’s tech giants are trying to adapt. AI Cats and Micro-Dramas: The High-Stakes Battle for Eyeballs In the animated series “Orange Cat Taoist Priest: Fighting the Zombie King”, a tabby (斑猫) in a flowing robe battles a pack of vicious, undead kittens. These cat adventures come in dozens of two-minute episodes, or micro-dramas — a form of entertainment that combines traditional TV shows with scrollable social-media posts. (67) __________ The Taoist master cat has attracted half a million views. China’s entertainment industry has been shaken by micro-forms. Total time spent watching longer dramas fell by 15% year on year in January, while viewing time on Red Fruit, a micro-drama app owned by ByteDance (the firm behind Douyin), more than doubled. The business model is based on aggressively cutting costs. The live-action versions use amateur actors and bare-bones sets, but they are being undercut by new AI-animation tools. The proliferation of these in the past year has enabled production costs to be cut by up to 90%, reckon analysts at HSBC, and leading industry insiders say the volume of live-action dramas filmed in some regions has shrunk by 80% while actors’ already meagre pay has been cut by half. (68) __________ But the AI type faces headwinds (逆风). Since April 1st, regulators have required that all animated micro-series not already approved for streaming be removed from online platforms. New series, they say, must file for approval before being released online. The model’s other problems are also becoming clearer. One is excessive competition. China has produced so many AI micro-dramas that, despite their tight budgets, fewer and fewer get sufficient views to make money. (69) _________ It is hard for people to form sentimental attachments to micro-drama characters; as viewers, they are less loyal. (70) _________ One of them, Alibaba, has launched a new season of a long-form animated series called “The Demon Hunter”. It has more than 10m followers. In the epic battle for eyeballs, longer dramas may still stand a chance. IV. Summary writing (10%) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. 71. As a child, I was regularly told off for swinging on my chair, and fidgeting through story time. Eventually, I learned to resist the desire to fidget. Today, I can sit still for hours with barely a shuffle. It turns out, however, that I may have been better-off before. Let s dig a bit more into the science. Fidgeting is defined as moving or acting impatiently or nervously. However, James Levine, a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, says it is better defined as a neurologically programmed rhythmic-movement of a body part. In other words, the fidget factor is an outward sign of a natural desire to move. While no evidence shows that fidgeting directly leads to a longer life, studies have shown fidgeting can help. For one, fidgeting may help us cope with stress. In one study, volunteers were put in a stressful situation, a simulated job interview followed by a mental arithmetic (心算) task. Researchers found those who fidgeted by displaying “displacement behavior,” such as scratching, biting their lips or touching their face, found the experience less stressful. Meanwhile, fidgeting may also help lower some of the other risks that come with a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle. Feet tapping while sitting, for example, can protect the arteries (动脉) in-legs-and potentially help prevent related diseases. “If you’re sedentary, that’s not good for you. But if you’re sedentary and fidget, it reduces your risk of long-term ill health,” says Janet Cade at the University of Leeds. The findings raise questions about whether the way we perceive people who fidget should change. Fidgeting is often seen as rude or an indication that someone is not paying attention. But if these simple movements are good for our health, maybe they should be indulged. 第 II 卷 (14 分) V.

Fidgeting may relieve stress and promote longevity as simple movement mitigates the diseases associated with a sedentary lifestyle. Therefore, we should shift our attitude and recognize its hidden health value in these actions.（60字） V. Translation 72.
