B When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager itching to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening. So I left. I headed north for a four-year academic journey from York to Durham. After university, having played at newspapers, I made the move to London to do it for real. But the reality was tough. I struggled to contribute to various dailies before periods on staff at both magazines and newspapers. In my twenties, I threw myself into city life: sampling Mediterranean restaurants, navigating around on the Tube, and staying out late with friends. For a while, it was enough. Then it became too much. In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more — just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke. As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once dismissed. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive. Artists, creatives, and technologists have been priced out of London and are pouring to Thanet, bringing new ideas and drive. Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d outgrown has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting. I’ll keep returning to Thanet, with eager willingness. Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become. 24. Why did the author want to leave Ramsgate? A. It offered few job opportunities. B. It lacked modern entertainment. C. It stuck to values he disagreed with. D. It failed to satisfy his desire to explore. 25. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s life in London? A. Rich in possibilities. B. Socially diverse. C. Filled with challenges. D. Financially stressful. 26. What can we learn about the author’s bond with Thanet over time? A. It remains stable and strong. B. It is influenced by public opinions. C. It shifts from rejection to reconnection. D. It is shaped by his childhood experience. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Sea in Memory B. Four Years Up North C. The Hometown Out of Reach D. A Growing Place, a Growing Me C Nature words like river, moss and blossom have appeared less frequently in books over the past years. This decline, according to a study by professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby, mirrors a broader change he has traced through 220 years of records on urbanisation, the loss of wildlife in neighbourhoods, and parents no longer passing on engagement with nature to their children. The computer modelling in the study also predicts an “extinction of experience”, with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass on an “orientation(倾向)” towards the natural world. This is consistent with findings from other studies, which identify adult nature connectedness as the strongest predictor of whether a child will become close to nature. Richardson said that when he tested policy and urban environmental changes in the model he was surprised at the scale of the changes required to restore the connection to nature. Increasing biodiverse green spaces in a city by 30% might look like significant positive progress for wildlife and people but Richardson said his study suggests a city might need to be 10 times greener to turn around declines in nature connection. Efforts to simply encourage adults to engage with nature are often insufficient for lasting change. More effective are measures that build nature connection from an early age, such as forest schools for young children. Research indicates that government initiatives reshaping early education and urban design must be consistently applied over the next 25 years. Once established, this connection can become self-sustaining. Richardson said the scale of societal change required might not be as challenging as it appeared. A study on people in Sheffield found that they spent just 4 minutes and 36 seconds on average in natural spaces each day. “Increase that by ten, and people are spending 40 minutes outside every day — that may be enough,” he said. “The key is to make these gains last across generations,” he added. 28. What change has Richardson traced in his study? A. Nature words have disappeared from books. B. People have less direct contact with nature. C. Urbanisation has damaged wildlife habitats. D. Parents spend more time outdoors with kids. 29. What might cause future generations to have “extinction of experience” in the model? A. They are raised away from nature. B. They can’t adapt to changes in nature. C. High-rise buildings fill neighbourhoods. D. Schools offer few nature science lessons. 30. What is a most effective solution to the issue according to the text? A. Advancing long-term policies. B. Launching eco-friendly campaigns. C. Focusing on raising adults’ awareness. D. Enlarging green space in certain areas. 31. Richardson mentioned the study on people in Sheffield to show ________. A. nature contact varies from city to city B. people’s living habits are hard to change C. a new way to measure nature time is needed D. small efforts help improve contact with nature D Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers have long dreamed of tools to supercharge science-asking novel questions, designing and running experiments. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have made discoveries that some AI developers claim have inched us closer to that future. But how do you test whether an AI model can truly do science? For answers, researchers turn to benchmarks (基准): standardized sets of questions or tasks that help measure an AI’s efficiency and reliability and compare it against other models. But the complexity of science makes assessing their aptitude especially challenging. As Hao Peng, a computer scientist at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, puts it: “Models have all this knowledge. Do they know how to use it?” Dozens of new science-focused benchmarks have emerged over the past year to answer that question, but scientists have yet to settle on a single best approach. One of the most popular, published in Nature, is Humanity’s Last Exam (HLE). It uses 2500 questions drawn from “the frontier of human knowledge” to put LLMs through their paces. One, for example, asks how many types of sensory receptors the human skin contains. “We wanted a diverse dataset that only experts who have been working on a field for a long time can answer,” says Long Phan, a research engineer with the HLE’s developer. Since the HLE first appeared as a preprint in January 2025, the benchmark has become an important proving ground for LLMs and HLE scores are now a common talking point for AI companies seeking to highlight the capabilities of their products. At the HLE’s launch, the leading developer OpenAI’s AI model won the best score at a mere 8.3%. Earlier this month, Google claimed that its latest reasoning model for science, called Gemini 3 Deep Think, had achieved a new record HLE score of 48.4%. But some scientists argue that many of the HLE’s questions test for little-known or even useless knowledge, rather than an ability to do meaningful research. A Nature editorial accompanying the HLE’s publication also raised this issue: “We think that more scientists should be asking: What would it take to develop an AI benchmark that truly measures expert-level thinking?” 32. What does the underlined word “aptitude” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Knowledge. B. Performance. C. Intelligence. D. Progress. 33. What does Long Phan stress about HLE? A. Its topic diversity. B. Experts’ involvement in it. C. The expertise of its dataset. D. Its data-backed popularity. 34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. HLE’s role as a key AI test. B. Companies’ use of HLE. C. HLE scores of leading AI models. D. The process of HLE’s launch. 35. By sharing its view, the Nature editorial aimed to ________. A. back the current testing B. express concern over HLE C. propose a workable solution D. predict future AI benchmarks 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Someone makes a statement, and you know it is not true. Most of us can think of those times when we have smiled and nodded, likely to avoid “making waves”. Sometimes, knowing when to stay quiet is the smart choice. ____36____But what about the vast number of times when not speaking your truth influences your emotional health? Sometimes, silence can quickly backfire and damage your relationships. When you keep silent repeatedly, it may feel like you are avoiding conflict. ____37____We all know that the “bottle it up and implode or explode later” plan does not work well for any of us. Every unspoken thought becomes a brick in the wall that grows between you and the other person. ____38____If you consistently nod along passively, others will notice when your actions don’t agree with your words. They may wonder whether you are holding back or not being sincere. If you hold back to avoid hurting feelings or spare tension, the result may be the opposite. Your view matters. By staying silent, you lose opportunities to express your feelings. ____39____But later, if you unearth how you really feel, they may feel betrayed (背叛)that you did not open up about your true feelings earlier on. Continued silence may lead others to assume that you are not interested or that you are emotionally unavailable. While silence sometimes may feel like caution and be wise, too much of it gets in the way of closeness and trust in relationships. ____40____ A. You’re actually building it up. B. The growing doubt leads to distance. C. Others may trust you because you are honest. D. Trust comes from honesty more than it does from agreement. E. Speaking up creates connection and conveys a sense of caring in others. F. This is especially true when the other person tends to get annoyed easily. G. Others may think your silence is an agreement with what they are saying. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In my family, Saturday mornings were for dim sum (点心). “If you want to eat it, you learn to ____41____ the menu,” my mom would say, handing me a yellow order sheet.

Usually shy with her broken English, here she told jokes, ____44____ and natural. After my parents moved back to Hong Kong, dim sum always ____45____ me to contact my mom. Most days in Canada, I ____46____ the dim sum in an inviting way on my plate and shared pictures of it with her. In response, she sent back hers. This held onto our ____47____. Despite our differences in our realities — mine as I sought my ____48____between my life here and my roots there — and hers as she tried to regain her sense of ____49____to a home left decades ago, ____50____ dim sum photos, gradually became our ___51___language. We ____52____, still. Our feelings are often lost in translation. There may never be the right ____53____ but always the right food. Whenever we meet, we always ____54____ each other’s plates with dim sum, which look like mountains of affection. In Chinese, dim sum literally means “touch the heart”. For me, it always ____55____ its name. 41. A. keep B. read C. update D. find 42. A. unclear B. small C. unfamiliar D. formal 43. A. access B. duty C. gift D. connection 44.

Traditional Minnan-style houses, with roofs ____56____ (distinct) curved and walls time-honored, stood shoulder to shoulder. The ____57____ (rhythm) calls of free-range chickens provided background music for our shoot, occasionally interrupted by the distant laughter of villagers passing along the paths. What ____58____ (strike) me most was such plain warmth. A woman rode past with a basketful of leafy greens, her feet barely touching the ground as she slowed ____59____ (exchange) greetings with neighbors. At the store, the owner, ____60____ (wear) a gentle smile, wiped his hands carefully before weighing out dried mushrooms ____61____ regular customers. In that instant, I felt I was carried 3,000 kilometers south to my grandmother’s village. Though the landscape differed, the essence remained unchanged: that familiar village ecosystem ____62____ shopkeepers remember your favorite childhood treats and ____63____ (local) catch up on the latest news. This is the China I have come to know. It is not just through its high-rises and express trains, ____64____ in these pockets of everyday life that ring across cultures. The world stretches wide yet draws near, connected together by the shared ____65____ (kind). 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分 15 分) 假定你是李华，在英语口语课上，外教Adam组织同学们就“Should We Open School Sports Facilities to the Public?”进行分组讨论，请你代表小组发言， 内容包括：(1)陈述观点；(2)说明理由。 注意：(1)写作词数应为80左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear fellow classmates, 第二节（满分25分） 67. 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。 My name is Mae. I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others. “Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” she added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project. The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen. “Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?” I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said. Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh. Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.” “Oh? I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed. 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。 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. _________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. _________________________________________________________________________________ 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 答案 1-20 每小题1.5分，共30分 1-5C ABAB 6.

For one thing, these venues are often left unused after school hours, which is undoubtedly a waste of precious resources. By sharing them, we can better serve the community and promote a healthier lifestyle among residents. For another, it offers our students a golden chance to interact with people from diverse backgrounds, thus improving our social skills and sense of responsibility. Admittedly, safety concerns exist, but with proper management and scheduled time slots, they can be effectively addressed. Therefore, we strongly advocate this policy for mutual benefit. That’s all for our view. Thank you for listening! Version 2 Dear fellow classmates, On behalf of our group, I’d like to present our view that school sports facilities should be open to the public. It is clear that this practice benefits both the community and our school. Firstly, it provides more convenient places for local citizens to work out regularly, thus improving public health. Secondly, it helps build a closer relationship between our school and the community. A booking system can be used to avoid unnecessary trouble. In conclusion, opening sports facilities not only improves public health but also strengthens the bond between the school and the community. Thank you! (反对的观点) Version 1 Dear fellow classmates, After our group’s careful deliberation, we strongly oppose the idea of opening school sports facilities to the public. To begin with, our top priority must be students’ safety and training needs. Once outsiders enter, it becomes extremely challenging to ensure proper supervision, which may increase the risk of injuries or conflicts. Moreover, extra usage will accelerate wear and tear on equipment, leading to higher maintenance costs that our school budget can hardly afford. Worse still, limited courts and fields are already overcrowded during peak hours. Allowing public access would inevitably squeeze our own practice time and disturb regular physical education classes. For these practical reasons, we believe schools should remain a secure and exclusive place for students’ development. Thank you for your attention! Version 2 Dear fellow classmates, Our group holds the view that school sports facilities should not be open to the public. First, it may lead to safety issues. With strangers coming into the campus, students’ personal safety can’t be fully guaranteed. Besides, opening facilities to the public will accelerate the wear and tear of equipment, leading to expenses on maintenance and repair. Plus, it will occupy the space that should be used by students for physical activities or sports training. In short, we’re convinced that it is not sensible to open school sports facilities to the public. Thank you! 第二节（满分25分） Possible Version 1 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. I decided to design a gentle reminder app especially for the elderly. I listed simple functions: important dates, daily tasks, and warm notes. I focused on making the words big and the buttons easy to touch. Whenever I felt stuck, I thought of Mrs. Thompson’s kind smile and her wish for something to help her remember. I carefully tested every part again and again, making sure it was simple and helpful. Deep in my heart, I hoped this little app could bring convenience and warmth to her and more elderly people. A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. I introduced the app’s purpose and showed how it worked. Ms. Davis praised my thoughtful idea and spoke highly of my project. After class, I brought the app to Mrs. Thompson. She was delighted and tried it at once. “This is exactly what I need,” she said happily. Watching her smile, I truly understood what Ms. Davis had meant: coding is not just code, but a way to use technology to care for others. Version 2 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. The conversation with Mrs. Thompson kept echoing in my head—her forgetfulness, her gentle wish for something that could simply remind her. I grabbed my pen and started sketching the interface of a “Daily Helper” app, which would feature voice reminders, a to-do list, and an easy-to-read calendar with large buttons. To make it senior-friendly, I chose bright colors and clear fonts, avoiding any complex navigation that might confuse elderly users. I stayed up late into the night, writing the core code line by line, constantly testing and debugging until the basic functions worked smoothly. Over the following days, I paid several visits to Mrs. Thompson, carefully observing her daily routine and noting down the exact times she took medicine, watered plants, and attended her book club. Every detail mattered, because I was determined to tailor the app precisely to her needs. Finally, after countless trials and adjustments, the app was ready—simple, practical, and full of heart. A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. With trembling hands, I demonstrated how the app worked: a gentle voice would remind users to take pills at 8 a.m., a cheerful notification would pop up for watering plants, and every Friday morning, a bright banner would flash “Book Club Today!” Ms. Davis watched attentively, nodding with approval as I explained the design philosophy behind each feature. What truly moved her, however, was when I shared the story of Mrs. Thompson and showed a short video of her using the app—her face lighting up with surprise and gratitude as the reminders guided her through the day. “Mae,” Ms. Davis said with a warm smile, “you’ve not only created a functional app, but also captured the very essence of coding—using technology to bring convenience and care to people’s lives.” I felt a surge of pride and joy, knowing that my little creation had made a real difference. That day, I learned that the best code is not the most complicated one, but the one that connects hearts and eases daily struggles. 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
