Being a popular tourist destination, thousands of people come to explore the beauty of the Eiffel Tower every day. The day of your visit Each e-ticket bears the name of its owner. Remember to bring ID for all of your group, including children. We may ask to see your ID, as well as any supporting documents for reduced rates (disability registration). Make sure you check the time on your e-ticket. This is the time when you need to be on the esplanade, in a queue for “visitors with tickets”. We recommend arriving 15 minutes in advance so that you have time to make it through the security checks at the entrance. Eiffel tower ticket prices Ticket with lift——The Second floor Adults Youths (aged 12-24) Children (aged 4-11) Children (under 4) 18.80€ 9.40€ 4.70€ 0.00€ Ticket with lift——The top floor Adults Youths (aged 12-24) Children (aged 4-11) Children (under 4) 29.40€ 14.70€ 7.40€ 0.00€ All the prices can be found on the e-tickets.

When you are caught in awe, it’s easy for eagle-eyed thieves to do their tricks. Be mindful and carry minimal belongings such as your wallet, tickets, ID proof, and a water bottle. There is no left-luggage facility for non-permitted items, like wheeled suitcases, large luggage, non-folding buggies (童车) at the Eiffel Tower. 31. What information can you find on the e-tickets? A.

B When I was seven, my father drove our old car to the edge of a cliff in California. The salt mist from the Pacific fogged the windshield. He pointed to the horizon and said, “This is where the world ends.” I believed him. The gray water seemed endless, blending sea and sky. Sea birds circled, their cries lost in the wind. I held the seat tightly, fearing the cliff would collapse. For weeks, I dreamt of falling, not a terrifying dive, but a gentle drift into the ocean’s embrace. At twelve, I stood in a bright classroom learning about geography. Mrs. Wilkins showed us satellite images of the Earth, a perfect blue planet. “There are no edges.” she assured us, tapping the globe. But that night, I dreamt of the cliff again, the waves roaring like a hungry beast beneath my hanging feet. Now at thirty-seven, I understand my father wasn’t lying. Every generation needs its own edge of the world, a place where certainty fades into wonder. Mine came when I held my newborn at 2: 17 AM and realized I knew nothing about love. My brother found his edge when the doctor said “lung cancer, stage four.” The cliff still waits for others——the newly divorced, the recently bankrupt, the suddenly alone. Last summer, I took my daughter to that same overlook. The side rail had faded, but she peered over the edge, her small hand holding mine. “Daddy,” she whispered, “what’s on the other side?” I thought of all the answers I could give——the science of ocean currents, the geography of distant shores, even Columbus’s certainty. Instead, I knelt beside her and said, “No one knows for sure. That’s why we keep looking.” The wind carried our voices out to sea as the waves continued their endless work below, carving new edges for new generations. Some truths aren’t meant to be taught, but discovered——often at the cliff edge of what we think we know. When my daughter eventually stands at her own cliff edge, I hope she remembers this moment not as an ending, but as the first real question. 34. The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 refers to a particular place where_______. A. sea birds circled over the gray water B. the boy underwent a terrifying falling C. the sea and sky mixed into one far away D. the cliff would collapse into the ocean’s embrace 35. Why did the author dream of the cliff again? A. The perfect blue satellite images triggered his fearful memory. B. The absence of edges of the Earth drove him to visit the cliff again. C. The globe convinced him cliffs were just harmless natural landscape. D. The knowledge of the borderless Earth went against his earlier belief. 36. How does the author understand “edge” in paragraph 3? A. The power of a newborn in his life. B. Turning moments in life that break certainty. C. A geographic edge to recall childhood memory. D. All the miserable failures you have experienced. 37. What can we learn from the author’s reaction to his daughter’s question? A. He thought science had provided an answer to her question. B. He felt the waves were too noisy to make any further conversation. C. His daughter was too young to understand the facts about currents or Columbus. D. He wanted his daughter to keep exploring rather than accept ready-made answers. C Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reduced the risk of age-related diseases. But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks is have remained a mystery. In a new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects aging by employing an ancient cellular energy system. A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years. But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (能量监测器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans. “When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope.” explains Dr Charalampos, the study’s senior author. “Importantly, our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch.” Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine’s effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress——all of which are tied to aging and disease. “These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity (长寿),”said Dr. John-Patrick, a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. “And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly——with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.” So, the next time you reach for your coffee, you might be doing more than just boosting your focus——you could also be giving your cells a helping hand. 38. What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To explore the history of caffeine consumption. B. To identify how caffeine influences cell aging. C. To compare human cells with fission yeast cells. D. To find new use of caffeine in cell reproduction. 39. What does TOR serve as? A. A sign of aging. B. An energy source. C. A growth command center. D. A cellular fuel gauge. 40. What does John-Patrick suggest about the research? A. Possible direction for further research. B. Benefits of present applications. C. Characteristics of the research. D. Choice of new research methods. 41. What can be the best title for the text? A. AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long. B. Your Morning Coffee May Flip a Longevity Switch. C. The Yeast Model Unlocks Aging’s Hidden Pathways. D. Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells. D In a drawing room in rural Oxfordshire, an artist slowly and deliberately puts pen to paper. Her arm moves across the canvas, the marks gradually integrating into a portrait of herself. It seems like a moment of creative expression. But this is no ordinary artist——she is the world’s first humanoid robot artist, Ai-Da. By design, her very existence brings into question how we define art, and who, or in this case, what, can create it. Will AI algorithms (算法) and robots like Ai-Da mean the end of human creativity and artistry, or can they strengthen our own creative potential? When Marcel Duchamp proposed that a urinal (小便池) be considered art, he flipped the art world on its head. In much the same way, AI-created artworks are changing the standards of the art world, because both are controversial and contain objects that haven’t technically been created by an “artist’s” hand. Someone argues that a humanoid artist like Ai-Da represents society’s current fears——the rise of job-stealing AI algorithms and potential robot domination. But technological revolutions like artificial intelligence don’t necessarily mean the “end of art” as many fear. Instead, they can help to kick start an artistic transformation and move us towards different ways of seeing and creating. “AI might kick us into being creative again as humans,” says mathematician du Sautoy, who sees it as a powerful partner in the pursuit of human creativity. However, questions of authorship haunt the artificial intelligence story. Artists Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst co-founded Spawning AI, which aimed at empowering human creators to prohibit AI from using their works. But there are also artists who see AI as a new outlet for their own creativity. Some artists are now even training algorithms in an attempt to push their own creative boundaries. It’s clear that AI algorithms and machines like Ai-Da are having an impact on the art world. Their works are exhibited alongside more traditional forms of art worldwide. Next year we’ll see the world’s first AI art gallery open its doors in LA. Eva Jager, the creative AI lead, is also helping to bring AI art to the masses, with a programme of exhibitions leading to a critical discussion about the impact of technology on art. She sees the cooperation between human and machine as a space for real creative potential. 42. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Overturned the art standards. B. Controlled the art world. C. Broadened artists’ horizons. D. Recognized artists’ wisdom. 43. What influence may Ai-Da generate on the art world? A. It may change the origin of art. B. It may replace human artists soon. C. It may boost human creativity. D. It may help artists protect their works. 44. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Spawning AI helped produce better art works. B. AI art is being spread to engage a wider audience. C. Some artists trained AI to increase their productivity. D. The gallery is an immediate success in the art market. 45. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To express concerns that AI artists may steal our jobs. B. To record the AI development and its significance in art. C. To explore the impact of AI on art definition and creativity. D. To argue that a balance is needed between AI and humans in art. 第2节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Travel is enriching yet environmentally costly——plastics are a key contributor. Committing to plastic-free travel habits cuts your environmental impact while exploring the world. Ideally, packing snacks for your travels helps save money and reduce waste.    46    To minimize the impact, consider plastic-free snack alternatives——like nuts, dried fruits, or homemade sandwiches——pack them in reusable containers. You can also visit local markets for fresh, unpackaged snacks. Bringing a filtered water bottle (滤水壶) is a game-changer for reducing plastic waste. You can refill it from any water source thanks to its built-in filter, eliminating the need for plastic bottles. By carrying one, you’re not only reducing plastic waste but saving money on bottled water purchases.    47     Shampoo bars (洗发皂) are an excellent plastic-free alternative that eliminates the need for liquid shampoo bottles. Their solid form makes them ideal for carry-on luggage and you can store one in a wooden container.    48    This simple step prevents it from softening. Many of you already bring reusable bags to the grocery store.    49     Simply extend it to your travels by packing one for souvenirs. This makes it easy to decline plastic bags, making your souvenir shopping a positive experience for the environment.     50    When planning your travel, look for those that provide water refill stations to support your use of reusable bottles. Also, choose properties that have replaced single-use plastics with alternatives like bamboo toothbrushes and paper straws (吸管). By adopting eco-friendly practices, you'll not only reduce your plastic footprint but also inspire fellow travelers to do the same. A. You can take the habit a step further. B. Remember to let it air dry completely after use. C. It’s a win-win for your wallet and the environment. D. Consciously avoiding plastic products goes a long way. E. Besides, you never have to question the safety of the water. F. Prioritize hotels that have adopted plastic reduction initiatives. G. However, the reality is that many ready-made options are plastic-wrapped. 第四部分 语言运用（满分30分） 第1节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Glen Edwards became a hero when he rescued a construction worker trapped on the top of a 16-story burning building.

B When I was seven,my father drove our old car to the edge of a cliff in California.The salt mist from the Pacific fogged the windshield.He pointed to the horizon and said,"This is where the world ends."I believed him.The gray water seemed endless,blending sea and sky.Sea birds circled,their cries lost in the wind.I held the seat tightly,fearing the cliff would collapse.For weeks,I dreamt of falling,not a terrifying dive,but a gentle drift into the ocean's embrace. At twelve,I stood in a bright classroom learning about geography.Mrs.Wilkins showed us satellite 试卷第4页，共11页 images of the Earth,a perfect blue planet."There are no edges."she assured us,tapping the globe.But that night,I dreamt of the cliff again,the waves roaring like a hungry beast beneath my hanging feet. Now at thirty-seven,I understand my father wasn't lying.Every generation needs its own edge of the world,a place where certainty fades into wonder.Mine came when I held my newbom at 2:17 AM and realized I knew nothing about love.My brother found his edge when the doctor said "lung cancer,stage four."The cliff still waits for others-the newly divorced,the recently bankrupt,the suddenly alone. Last summer,I took my daughter to that same overlook.The side rail had faded,but she peered over the edge,her small hand holding mine."Daddy,"she whispered,"what's on the other side?I thought of all the answers I could give-the science of ocean currents,the geography of distant shores,even Columbus's certainty.Instead,I knelt beside her and said,No one knows for sure.That's why we keep looking."The wind carried our voices out to sea as the waves continued their endless work below,carving new edges for new generations.Some truths aren't meant to be taught,but discovered-often at the cliff edge of what we think we know.When my daughter eventually stands at her own cliff edge,I hope she remembers this moment not as an ending,but as the first real question. 34.The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 refers to a particular place where_ A.sea birds circled over the gray water B.the boy underwent a terrifying falling C.the sea and sky mixed into one far away D.the cliff would collapse into the ocean's embrace 35.Why did the author dream of the cliff again? A.The perfect blue satellite images triggered his fearful memory B.The absence of edges of the Earth drove him to visit the cliff again. C.The globe convinced him cliffs were just harmless natural landscape. D.The knowledge of the borderless Earth went against his earlier belief. 36.How does the author understand"edge"in paragraph 3? A.The power of a newborn in his life. B.Turning moments in life that break certainty. C.A geographic edge to recall childhood memory. D.All the miserable failures you have experienced. 37.What can we learn from the author's reaction to his daughter's question? A.He thought science had provided an answer to her question. B.He felt the waves were too noisy to make any further conversation C.His daughter was too young to understand the facts about currents or Columbus. D.He wanted his daughter to keep exploring rather than accept ready-made answers. O Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits,including reduced the risk of age-related diseases.But,until now,how it works inside our cells,and what exactly its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks is have remained a mystery.In a new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母)，a single--celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells,researchers found that caffeine affects aging by employing an ancient cellular energy system. A few years ago,the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR).TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow,based on how much food and energy is available.This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years. 试卷第5页，共11页 But in their latest study,the scientists made a surprising discovery:Caffeine doesn't act on this growth switch directly.Instead,it works by activating another important system called AMPK,a cellular fuel gauge(能量监测器)that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans. "When your cells are low on energy,AMPK kicks in to help them cope."explains Dr Charalampos, the study's senior author."Importantly,our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch." Using their yeast model,the researchers showed that caffeine's effect on AMPK influences how cells grow,repair their DNA,and respond to stress-all of which are tied to aging and disease. “These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity(长寿)，”said Dr.John-Patrick,a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study."And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly-with diet,lifestyle, or new medicines.” So,the next time you reach for your coffee,you might be doing more than just boosting your focus-you could also be giving your cells a helping hand. 38.What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in paragraph 1? A.To explore the history of caffeine consumption B.To identify how caffeine influences cell aging. C.To compare human cells with fission yeast cells D.To find new use of caffeine in cell reproduction. 39.What does TOR serve as? A.A sign of aging. B.An energy source. C.A growth command center. D.A cellular fuel gauge. 40.What does John-Patrick suggest about the research? A.Possible direction for further research.B.Benefits of present applications. C.Characteristics of the research. D.Choice of new research methods. 41.What can be the best title for the text? A.AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long. B.Your Morning Coffee May Flip a Longevity Switch. C.The Yeast Model Unlocks Aging's Hidden Pathways. D.Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells. D In a drawing room in rural Oxfordshire,an artist slowly and deliberately puts pen to paper.Her arm moves across the canvas,the marks gradually integrating into a portrait of herself.It seems like a moment of creative expression.But this is no ordinary artist-she is the world's first humanoid robot artist, Ai-Da.By design,her very existence brings into question how we define art,and who,or in this case,what, can create it. Will AI algorithms and robots like Ai-Da mean the end of human creativity and artistry,or can they strengthen our own creative potential?When Marcel Duchamp proposed that a urinal (be considered art,he flipped the art world on its head.In much the same way,AI-created artworks are changing the standards of the art world,because both are controversial and contain objects that haven't technically been created by an "artist's"hand.

A.Overturned the art standards. B.Controlled the art world C.Broadened artists'horizons. D.Recognized artists'wisdom. 43.What influence may Ai-Da generate on the art world? A.It may change the origin of art. B.It may replace human artists soon. C.It may boost human creativity. D.It may help artists protect their works. 44.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A.Spawning AI helped produce better art works. B.AI art is being spread to engage a wider audience. C.Some artists trained AI to increase their productivity. D.The gallery is an immediate success in the art market. 45.What's the author's purpose in writing the text? A.To express concerns that AI artists may steal our jobs. B.To record the AI development and its significance in art. C.To explore the impact of AI on art definition and creativity.
