(本题10分)Kris Bowers, a musician and award-winning film composer, grew up playing the piano through Los Angeles Unified’s music program. But it was only a few years ago that he learned about the people who cared for the instruments that brought him — and so many other students — joy and emotional support over the years.
The documentary The Last Repair Shop, co-directed by Bowers, puts the spotlight on those technicians who regularly repair more than 130,000 student instruments for free — work that has been taking place in a downtown L.A.storehouse since 1959.
For Bowers, making the film was a full circle moment. He learned about the work of Steve Bagmanyan, a technician who tuned the pianos in Bowers’s primary and middle schools. “I was able to thank someone who had a hand in my progress as a musician,” Bowers says.
Besides Bagmanyan, who is one of four workers, each personal story intersects (交织) with a piece of L.A.and maybe even United States history. Dana Atkinson, who works in the strings division, shares his story. Paty Moreno, the only woman technician in the shop, talks about her journey moving to the U.S. from Mexico and raising her children here — her job in the repair shop helped her maintain some stability, she says. Duane Michaels fixes the woodwind instruments and talks about his time on tour with the great rock singer Elvis in the past.
Directing the documentary gave Bowers a chance to mix his love for music and his city. “Having that deep love for this city and discovering this music repair shop and this program make me extremely proud of the city,” Bowers says.
The film has already brought attention to the repair shop. There is now a $15 million fundraising effort set up by the Education Foundation to help keep the program running and invest in future instrument technicians.

(本题10分)A famous American poet Robert Frost once said, “Poetry is what gets lost in translation. ”But XuYuanchong, well-known Chinese translator, had tried to convey the beauty of ancient Chinese poetry throughout his life. His teacher Qian Zhongshu commented on his poetry translation, “You are dancing while chained by rhyme and rhythm, but the dance shows amazing freedom and beauty, which is quite impressive.”
Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad. Most notably, he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English and French. He was also the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature.
Xu was known to be very fastidious in his work. For him, English is a “ scientific” language that needs exactness while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content. Following this principle, Xu kept not only faithfulness in the sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation.
Through Xu’s translations, time-honored Chinese wisdom has made an impact on Western societies and the world. For example, when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a healthcare project during his presidency, some senators disagreed at first. But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow translated by Xu, one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama.
Having made such great achievements, Xu maintained a routine. Every day he translated about1, 000 words, working till 3 to 4 a. m., sleeping for about 3 hours and getting up at 6 a. m. to continue.“ Translation is a means of communicating with the writer’s soul. A sudden flicker of a good word or a good line thrills every pore (毛孔) and every inch of my skin,” Xu said.
28.(2.5分)What does the text tell us about Xu Yuanchong?
A.He mastered at least three foreign languages.
B.He translated about 100 Chinese works into English.
C.He was the first winner of the Aurora Borcalis Prize.
D.He was widely known for his translated rhymed verses.
29.(2.5分)What does the underlined word “fastidious” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Particular. B.Satisfied. C.Inventive. D.Productive.
30.(2.5分)Why does the author give the example in Paragraph 4?
A.To recommend Xu’s translation works. B.To stress the charm of Chinese poetry.
C.To show Xu’s great translation skills. D.To prove the wisdom of the ancient Chinese.
31.(2.5分)Which of the following words can best describe Xu?
A.Thoughtful and modest. B.Generous and objective
C.Creative and open-minded. D.Devoted and hard-working.

29.词句猜测题。根据画线词后的“For him, English is a “ scientific” language that needs exactness while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content. Following this principle, Xu kept not only faithfulness in the sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation.(对他来说,英语是一种“科学”语言,需要精确,而汉语是一种“艺术”语言,包含更广泛的内容。遵循这一原则,他在翻译中既保持了意义上的忠实,又保持了情感上的美)”可知,本段主要讲述了许渊冲先生在他的翻译中不仅追求“直”也追求“美”,由此可推知,他在翻译时是极其严谨和注重细节的。fastidious意为“讲究的,挑剔的”。故选A。
30.推理判断题。根据第四段“For example, when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a healthcare project during his presidency, some senators disagreed at first. But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow translated by Xu, one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama.(例如,当美国前总统Barack Obama在其任期内试图启动一项医疗保健项目时,一些参议员起初表示反对。但在阅读了许翻译的《江雪》这首诗后,一位参议员被这位渔夫的独立思考所打动,选择放弃党派路线,转而支持奥巴马)”可推知,本段是为了说明许渊冲的翻译技巧之高。故选C。
31.推理判断题。根据第二段“Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad.(自1978年以来,许出版了100多部中、英、法翻译作品,在国内外拥有数百万读者)”以及最后一段“Having made such great achievements, Xu maintained a routine.

A sudden flicker of a good word or a good line thrills every pore (毛孔) and every inch of my skin,’ Xu said.(取得如此大的成就后,许保持着常规。他每天翻译大约1000个单词,工作到凌晨3、4点,睡3个小时左右,早上6点起床继续工作。‘翻译是与作者心灵交流的一种方式。突然闪现的一个好词或一条好线让我的每一个毛孔和每一寸皮肤都兴奋不已。’许说)”可推知,许渊冲热衷于翻译事业且非常努力。故选D。
(本题10分)A group of Chinese researchers and clinical neurologists has made a new breakthrough in brain-computer interface (BCI) (脑机接口) technology, enabling 10 individuals to communicate complex Chinese sentences through their thoughts alone. The technology, currently in clinical trials, offers new hope for patients with speech loss due to conditions such as stroke.
Scientists from Shanghai-based startup INSIDE and Huashan Hospital implanted electrodes (电极) into participants with epilepsy (癫痫). After an average of just 100 minutes of training, their custom-built intelligent system read and interpreted brain activities associated with the intended speech of 54 Chinese characters in real time. Training on those characters then enabled the system to interpret 1,951 common words correctly and generate complete Chinese sentences in less than half a second, with virtually no length limit.
“Unlike English’s basic speech sounds, Chinese involves over 400 different syllables,” explains Li Meng, INSIDE’s chief scientist. The team trained on data from the world’s largest human brainwave database built by Huashan Hospital, and the AI identified basic sounds of speech with over 83 percent accuracy, according to Li.
Looking ahead, researchers envision the interpreted text allowing users to control smart environments, or even generate expressive artworks through generative AI systems. Huashan Hospital has played a key role in brain-computer interface clinical trials. In August 2024, neurosurgeons at the Hospital implanted a 256-channel flexible BCI device designed by the Shanghai-based NeuroXess into a 21-year-old female patient with epilepsy. Within 48 hours, the patient successfully engaged in table tennis and snake computer games through brain control. In June 2025, a Chinese man who had lost his arms and legs in a terrible accident 13 years ago was shown playing chess and racing games using only his mind. This followed the implantation of a BCI device developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Recognizing BCI as a strategic future industry, Shanghai aims to achieve high-quality brain control and fully integrate BCI products into clinical applications by 2030.
32.(2.5分)What can be learned about BCI technology from Paragraph 1?
A.It improves communication skills. B.It translates thoughts into sentences.
C.It helps to treat stroke patients. D.It serves as a Chinese learning tool.
33.(2.5分)Which of the following best describes the training?
A.Traditional. B.Personalized. C.Thorough. D.Efficient.
34.(2.5分)Why does the author mention the two examples in Paragraph 4?
A.To explain the working process of BCI.
B.To show the promising future of BCI.
C.To describe the history of Huashan Hospital.
D.To display the variety of BCI devices.
35.(2.5分)What is a suitable title for the text?
A.AI: Controlling Games with Mind B.INSIDE: Building BCI Industry
C.Implants: Reading Brain Signals D.BCI: Giving Voice to Thought

【答案】36.F 37.C 38.A 39.D 40.B
【导语】本文是说明文,主要讲述了通过什么方法,你可以使你的世界比过去好得多。
【详解】36.根据前文“Everyone wants to be happy. ”(每个人都想快乐)和后文“You must find it in your journey on your own and decide what it is that makes you happy. ”(你必须在自己的旅程中找到它,并决定是什么让你快乐)可知,你决定着你的快乐。由此推知,空处和前文为转折关系,可讲述快乐不是自然而来,并非从天而将。F项“然而,幸福不会从天而降”承上启下,符合文意。故选F。
37.根据前文“See the light in all situations. There’s a bright side to everything. ”(在任何情况下都能看到光明,凡事都有光明的一面)和空后“But when it hides from the clouds, remember that you are the one that lights up the sky even brighter than the stars.”(但是当它隐藏在云层之后,记住你是那个照亮天空甚至比星星还亮的人)可知,it指代前文的“光明”。由此推知,空处应讲述光明在什么情况下存在。C项“在最黑暗的日子里,月亮依然闪耀”,讲述了月亮在黑暗的日子里会提供光明,符合题意,故选C。
38.根据前文“Stop comparing yourself with others. Comparing yourself to others is a waste of who you are.”(不要拿自己和别人比较。拿自己和别人比较是对自己的一种浪费)可知,不把自己和别人比较。因此空处应承接前文,描述我们要做好自己。A项“做你自己”与本段首句“停止与他人比较”呼应。故选A。
39.根据下文“Who are the people in your life that is important to you? Does the person bring the best out of you? Spend time with these people. It’s worth it.”(你生命中对你重要的人是谁?那个人能把你最好的一面展现出来吗?和这些人在一起。这是值得的)可知,本段主要描述与能把你最好的一面展现出来得人在一起是值得的。D项“花时间和能让你变得更好的人在一起”符合语境。故选D。
40.本段的首句“Be confident. ”(要有自信),和该空上一句“Write yourself five things that you love about yourself and put it on your wall or read it every morning you wake up.”(给自己写出五件你喜欢自己的事情,把它们贴在墙上,或者每天早上醒来读它们)可知,空处应承接前文,讲述这样做对于树立自信的含义是什么。B项“这真的很重要”符合语境。故选B。

六、书面表达
67.(本题25分)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。
An abandoned dog stopped at the front door of the Laceys’ small house, wagging its tail, trembling with shyness and cold. Doris Lacey, whose school had been called off because of the snow, spotted the creature and immediately went up to meet it.
“Where did that come from?” Mrs. Lacey asked as soon as Doris put the dog down in the kitchen. Mr. Lacey was at the table, cleaning his fingernails. “I don’t know where it came from, ” he said mildly, “but I know for sure where it’s going.”
Doris hugged the dog hard against her. She said nothing.
Because of the snow, the roads would be too bad for travel for many days. Mr. Lacey couldn’t get out to take the dog to the animal shelter in the city right away. He agreed to let it sleep in the basement while Mrs. Lacey unwillingly let Doris feed it leftover food.
Four days passed and the dog did not complain. It never cried in the night or barked at the wind. It didn’t tear up everything in the basement. It wouldn’t even follow Doris up the basement steps unless it was invited. It was a good dog.
Several times Doris had opened the door in the kitchen that led to the basement and the puppy had been there, all stretched out, on the top step. Doris knew it had wanted some company and that it had lain against the door, listening to the talk in the kitchen, smelling the food, being a part of things. It always wagged its tail, eyes all sleepy, when she found it there.
Even after a week had gone by, Doris didn’t name the dog. She knew her parents wouldn’t let her keep it, that her father made so little money and any pets were out of the question, and that the dog would definitely go to the shelter when the weather cleared. Still, she tried talking to them about the dog at dinner one night. “She’s a good dog and not much trouble, right?” Doris said, hoping one of them would agree with her. But Mr. Lacey shook his head, “You know we can’t afford a dog, Doris. You try to act more grown-up about this.” Doris fell silent, praying the weather would never clear.
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。
However, the sun was shining the next morning.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Later that afternoon, Mr. Lacey came back with the same dog.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 However, the sun was shining the next morning. Doris was sitting alone in the living room trying not to cry, but she was not strong enough. Her face was wet and red, her eyes full of depression. Outside, she heard the trunk of the car slam shut, one of the doors open and close, the old engine cough and choke and finally start up. Hearing the car travel down the road, she could do nothing but cry herself to sleep, and her dreams were full of searching and searching for things lost.
Later that afternoon, Mr. Lacey came back with the same dog. Doris put her hand to her mouth. She couldn’t believe her eyes. “You didn’t take her away?” she asked. “I did,” her father answered. “The worst looking place I’ve ever seen. Ten dogs in a cage. Smell was enough to knock you down. And they give an animal six days to live. Then they kill it with some kind of a shot. I wouldn’t leave an ant in that place, so I brought the dog back.” Doris excitedly ran to her father and gave him a super big hug. What an unexpected surprise it is!
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。Doris Lacey在家门口捡到一只流浪狗,父母都不同意在家里养它,但因为下雪路滑,爸爸同意小狗住在地下室。小狗在地下室很乖,Doris Lacey对它产生了感情,想要养它,但是她知道她家里的经济条件无法养它。天气好的时候,爸爸把小狗送收容所了,Doris Lacey很伤心,但没想到后来爸爸又带着小狗回来了。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
由续写第一段首句内容“然而,第二天早上阳光明媚。”可知,第一段可以描写爸爸要把小狗送走了,Doris虽然不舍但也没办法留下它,只能独自伤心。
由续写第二段首句内容“当天下午晚些时候,Lacey先生带着同一只狗回来了。”可知,第二段可以描写爸爸带小狗回来后Doris的惊喜,以及爸爸解释没把小狗留在收容所的原因。
2. 续写线索:天气转晴——Doris因无法留下小狗而努力压抑自己的情绪——爸爸开车带小狗离开——Doris终于忍不住哭了起来——爸爸带着小狗回来——爸爸解释了原因——Doris感到惊喜
3. 词汇激活:
行为类
①除了做……外无能为力:could do nothing but do…/couldn’t do anything but do…
②搜寻:search for/in search of
③把……带走:take away/send away
④击倒:knock down/knock over
情绪类
①沮丧:depression/frustration/gloom
②兴奋地:excitedly/in excitement/thrilledly
【点睛】【高分句型1】Her face was wet and red, her eyes full of depression.(使用了“名词+形容词短语”独立主格结构)
【高分句型2】Hearing the car travel down the road, she could do nothing but cry herself to sleep, and her dreams were full of searching and searching for things lost.(使用了现在分词短语作时间状语、省略不定式符号to的结构could do nothing but do和动名词作宾语)

(本题10分)Kris Bowers, a musician and award-winning film composer, grew up playing the piano through Los Angeles Unified’s music program. But it was only a few years ago that he learned about the people who cared for the instruments that brought him — and so many other students — joy and emotional support over the years.
The documentary The Last Repair Shop, co-directed by Bowers, puts the spotlight on those technicians who regularly repair more than 130,000 student instruments for free — work that has been taking place in a downtown L.A.storehouse since 1959.
For Bowers, making the film was a full circle moment. He learned about the work of Steve Bagmanyan, a technician who tuned the pianos in Bowers’s primary and middle schools. “I was able to thank someone who had a hand in my progress as a musician,” Bowers says.
Besides Bagmanyan, who is one of four workers, each personal story intersects (交织) with a piece of L.A.and maybe even United States history. Dana Atkinson, who works in the strings division, shares his story. Paty Moreno, the only woman technician in the shop, talks about her journey moving to the U.S. from Mexico and raising her children here — her job in the repair shop helped her maintain some stability, she says. Duane Michaels fixes the woodwind instruments and talks about his time on tour with the great rock singer Elvis in the past.
Directing the documentary gave Bowers a chance to mix his love for music and his city. “Having that deep love for this city and discovering this music repair shop and this program make me extremely proud of the city,” Bowers says.
The film has already brought attention to the repair shop. There is now a $15 million fundraising effort set up by the Education Foundation to help keep the program running and invest in future instrument technicians.
24.(2.5分)What does The Last Repair Shop focus on?
A.The development of a repair shop.
B.The stories of instrument technicians.
C.Bowers’s journey to become a musician.
D.Bowers’s struggle to support piano players.

(本题10分)A famous American poet Robert Frost once said, “Poetry is what gets lost in translation. ”But XuYuanchong, well-known Chinese translator, had tried to convey the beauty of ancient Chinese poetry throughout his life. His teacher Qian Zhongshu commented on his poetry translation, “You are dancing while chained by rhyme and rhythm, but the dance shows amazing freedom and beauty, which is quite impressive.”
Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad. Most notably, he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English and French. He was also the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature.
Xu was known to be very fastidious in his work. For him, English is a “ scientific” language that needs exactness while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content. Following this principle, Xu kept not only faithfulness in the sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation.
Through Xu’s translations, time-honored Chinese wisdom has made an impact on Western societies and the world. For example, when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a healthcare project during his presidency, some senators disagreed at first. But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow translated by Xu, one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama.
Having made such great achievements, Xu maintained a routine. Every day he translated about1, 000 words, working till 3 to 4 a. m., sleeping for about 3 hours and getting up at 6 a. m. to continue.“ Translation is a means of communicating with the writer’s soul. A sudden flicker of a good word or a good line thrills every pore (毛孔) and every inch of my skin,” Xu said.
28.(2.5分)What does the text tell us about Xu Yuanchong?
A.He mastered at least three foreign languages.
B.He translated about 100 Chinese works into English.
C.He was the first winner of the Aurora Borcalis Prize.
D.He was widely known for his translated rhymed verses.
29.(2.5分)What does the underlined word “fastidious” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Particular. B.Satisfied. C.Inventive. D.Productive.
30.(2.5分)Why does the author give the example in Paragraph 4?
A.To recommend Xu’s translation works. B.To stress the charm of Chinese poetry.
C.To show Xu’s great translation skills. D.To prove the wisdom of the ancient Chinese.
31.(2.5分)Which of the following words can best describe Xu?
A.Thoughtful and modest. B.Generous and objective
C.Creative and open-minded. D.Devoted and hard-working.
(本题10分)A group of Chinese researchers and clinical neurologists has made a new breakthrough in brain-computer interface (BCI) (脑机接口) technology, enabling 10 individuals to communicate complex Chinese sentences through their thoughts alone. The technology, currently in clinical trials, offers new hope for patients with speech loss due to conditions such as stroke.
Scientists from Shanghai-based startup INSIDE and Huashan Hospital implanted electrodes (电极) into participants with epilepsy (癫痫). After an average of just 100 minutes of training, their custom-built intelligent system read and interpreted brain activities associated with the intended speech of 54 Chinese characters in real time. Training on those characters then enabled the system to interpret 1,951 common words correctly and generate complete Chinese sentences in less than half a second, with virtually no length limit.
“Unlike English’s basic speech sounds, Chinese involves over 400 different syllables,” explains Li Meng, INSIDE’s chief scientist. The team trained on data from the world’s largest human brainwave database built by Huashan Hospital, and the AI identified basic sounds of speech with over 83 percent accuracy, according to Li.
Looking ahead, researchers envision the interpreted text allowing users to control smart environments, or even generate expressive artworks through generative AI systems. Huashan Hospital has played a key role in brain-computer interface clinical trials. In August 2024, neurosurgeons at the Hospital implanted a 256-channel flexible BCI device designed by the Shanghai-based NeuroXess into a 21-year-old female patient with epilepsy. Within 48 hours, the patient successfully engaged in table tennis and snake computer games through brain control. In June 2025, a Chinese man who had lost his arms and legs in a terrible accident 13 years ago was shown playing chess and racing games using only his mind. This followed the implantation of a BCI device developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Recognizing BCI as a strategic future industry, Shanghai aims to achieve high-quality brain control and fully integrate BCI products into clinical applications by 2030.
32.(2.5分)What can be learned about BCI technology from Paragraph 1?
A.It improves communication skills. B.It translates thoughts into sentences.
C.It helps to treat stroke patients. D.It serves as a Chinese learning tool.
33.(2.5分)Which of the following best describes the training?
A.Traditional. B.Personalized. C.Thorough. D.Efficient.
34.(2.5分)Why does the author mention the two examples in Paragraph 4?
A.To explain the working process of BCI.
B.To show the promising future of BCI.
C.To describe the history of Huashan Hospital.
D.To display the variety of BCI devices.
35.(2.5分)What is a suitable title for the text?
A.AI: Controlling Games with Mind B.INSIDE: Building BCI Industry
C.Implants: Reading Brain Signals D.BCI: Giving Voice to Thought

An abandoned dog stopped at the front door of the Laceys’ small house, wagging its tail, trembling with shyness and cold. Doris Lacey, whose school had been called off because of the snow, spotted the creature and immediately went up to meet it.
“Where did that come from?” Mrs. Lacey asked as soon as Doris put the dog down in the kitchen. Mr. Lacey was at the table, cleaning his fingernails. “I don’t know where it came from, ” he said mildly, “but I know for sure where it’s going.”
Doris hugged the dog hard against her. She said nothing.
Because of the snow, the roads would be too bad for travel for many days. Mr. Lacey couldn’t get out to take the dog to the animal shelter in the city right away. He agreed to let it sleep in the basement while Mrs. Lacey unwillingly let Doris feed it leftover food.
Four days passed and the dog did not complain. It never cried in the night or barked at the wind. It didn’t tear up everything in the basement. It wouldn’t even follow Doris up the basement steps unless it was invited. It was a good dog.
Several times Doris had opened the door in the kitchen that led to the basement and the puppy had been there, all stretched out, on the top step. Doris knew it had wanted some company and that it had lain against the door, listening to the talk in the kitchen, smelling the food, being a part of things. It always wagged its tail, eyes all sleepy, when she found it there.
Even after a week had gone by, Doris didn’t name the dog. She knew her parents wouldn’t let her keep it, that her father made so little money and any pets were out of the question, and that the dog would definitely go to the shelter when the weather cleared. Still, she tried talking to them about the dog at dinner one night. “She’s a good dog and not much trouble, right?” Doris said, hoping one of them would agree with her. But Mr. Lacey shook his head, “You know we can’t afford a dog, Doris. You try to act more grown-up about this.” Doris fell silent, praying the weather would never clear.
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。
However, the sun was shining the next morning.

Later that afternoon, Mr. Lacey came back with the same dog.
