People who visit Yao Huifen’s workshop often mistake her embroidery (刺绣品) for paintings or photographs. It is easy to see why. Yao’s works look so realistic, like oil paintings, Chinese ink wash paintings or photographs. Many of her works have been bought by domestic and foreign museums.
Yao was born into a family with a long history in the art in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. Her grandparents and parents worked in the industry. She started to learn from her grandmother and mother when she was little. Influenced by her father, she always loved to read books about art and esthetics (美学). She attended lectures on philosophy and art innovation when she was growing up. “You might not use the knowledge in the beginning, but what you read and what you experience will eventually be reflected in your works,” says Yao.
Form more than 10 years, she learned embroidery from masters of Suzhou embroidery and gradually became famous for her own skill. Elected as a promoter and ambassador of Suzhou embroidery, she has been to many countries for cultural communication, including the United States, France and Italy.
Like many intangible cultural heritage items, Suzhou embroidery faces the problem of finding young people to pass the craft down. The huge input of time and energy required to learn embroidery, Yao admits, has scared away many young people. However, she takes it as her responsibility to attract and train enough inheritors (继承人). She cooperated with colleges in Suzhou to open an embroidery course and teach the students for free. Yao has been teaching embroidery lovers at her workshop for many years. Some of her students have set up their own workshops and started to teach others themselves.
“Traditional handicrafts need to conform to the current esthetics and cannot get stuck in the standards of old times. Embroidery techniques should also be improved continuously.” Yao suggests that embroiderers should open up new horizons instead of working in workshops all day long. She visits art exhibitions and museums at every opportunity when she goes to big cities.
4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph?
A. To compare embroidery with photos.
B. To list some mistaken views on embroidery.
C. To highlight Yao Huifen’s extraordinary skill.
D. To clarify the differences between embroidery and paintings.
5. According to Yao, why are young people unwilling to learn embroidery?
A. They find it takes lots of time and efforts. B. They lack interest in it.
C. They consider it costs much money. D. They have a different taste for beauty.
6. The underlined word “conform” in the last paragraph most likely means ________.
A. say no (to) B. follow C. adjust (to) D. replace
7. What can we infer from the text?
A. Yao Huifen prefers working in big cities. B. Embroidery is gradually regaining its fame.
C. Yao Huifen has a talent for teaching embroidery. D. Yao Huifen is struggling to inherit Suzhou embroidery.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了苏州刺绣传承人姚惠芬的非凡技艺以及她为传承苏州刺绣所做的努力。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“People who visit Yao Huifen’s workshop often mistake her embroidery (刺绣品) for paintings or photographs. It is easy to see why. Yao’s works look so realistic, like oil paintings, Chinese ink wash paintings or photographs. (参观姚惠芬工作室的人常常将她的刺绣作品误认为是油画或照片。这并不难理解。姚惠芬的作品看起来极为逼真,宛如油画、中国水墨画或照片一般。)”可知,作者在第一段描述了姚惠芬的刺绣作品如何被误认为是画作或照片,并强调了她的作品非常逼真,这主要是为了突出姚惠芬的非凡技艺。因此,作者写第一段的目的是强调姚惠芬的技艺之高超。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The huge input of time and energy required to learn embroidery, Yao admits, has scared away many young people. (姚承认,学习刺绣需要投入大量的时间和精力,这吓跑了许多年轻人。)”可知,根据姚惠芬的说法,学习刺绣需要投入大量的时间和精力,这正是年轻人不愿意学习刺绣的原因。故选A。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“cannot get stuck in the standards of old times (不能拘泥于旧有的规范)”和“current esthetics (当下的审美标准)”可知,划线词所在句子表示“传统手工艺需要符合当下的审美标准,不能拘泥于旧有的规范”,conform的意思是“符合,顺应”,和adjust (to)意思相近。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Like many intangible cultural heritage items, Suzhou embroidery faces the problem of finding young people to pass the craft down. The huge input of time and energy required to learn embroidery, Yao admits, has scared away many young people. However, she takes it as her responsibility to attract and train enough inheritors (继承人). (与许多非物质文化遗产项目一样,苏绣也面临着寻找年轻人来传承这一技艺的难题。姚惠芬承认,学习刺绣需要投入大量的时间和精力,这让许多年轻人望而却步。然而,她认为吸引和培养足够的传承人是自己的责任。)”可知,从文中可以推断出,苏州刺绣面临着传承的问题,而姚惠芬正在积极努力地去吸引和培养传承人。这显示出她正在为传承苏州刺绣而努力奋斗。故选D。
C
As we know, bees play an important role in the ecosystem. Not only do many of them make honey, but they also pollinate (授粉) local plants, which is good for plant life worldwide to continue. However, habitat loss and environmental changes are threatening these bees. In Australia, 23-year-old biology student Clancy Lester, known as “The Bee Man”, is trying to protect over 2,000 native bee species.
Lester’s passion for nature began in childhood. While researching bad honey harvests with a local group, he realized the urgent need to protect native bees, so he created a website teaching people to build “bee hotels” — rooms that provide shelter for solitary bees, which make up most bee species. Unlike honeybees in hives (蜂房), solitary bees live alone and need safe spaces to nest and lay eggs.
Bee hotels are like natural habitats. They can be made using hollow bamboo, wooden blocks with small holes, or even sand-clay mixtures. Key requirements include morning sunlight and nearby flowers for food. These simple structures offer temporary homes for bees facing habitat loss. Lester stresses that even small efforts, like building a bee hotel, can make a difference: “For humans, it’s a quick project, but for bees, it could save their species.”
Beyond bee hotels, Lester calls on changing city’s green spaces into bee-friendly zones. Grasslands or unused city areas could become gardens filled with native plants, linking parks and bee-friendly zones to create “habitat corridors” for insects. This way can help solve the problem while making cities greener.
Climate change has become a threat to bees, but Lester’s work shows individual actions do matter. Protecting pollinators isn’t just about saving bees — it’s about preserving ecosystems that humans rely on. By building bee hotels or planting flowers, everyone can contribute to a healthier planet. As Lester proves, small steps can lead to a significant change, ensuring these tiny pollinators continue their irreplaceable work.
8. What does Clancy Lester make efforts to do?
A. Reduce pollution in Australian cities. B. Breed honeybees for money.
C. Study the effects of climate change. D. Protect native bee species.
9. What feeling does Lester have about the present situation of native bees?
A. Hopeful. B. Anxious. C. Relaxed. D. Surprised.
10. What is a must for Clancy Lester’s bee hotels?
A. Morning sunlight and nearby flowers. B. Access to rich water sources.
C. Special materials like metal tubes. D. Protection from human activities.
11. What does Lester’s work mean to us?
A. Urbanization must be stopped for nature.
B. Individual actions can protect ecosystems.
C. Advanced technology is key to saving bees.
D. Governments should take insect protection seriously.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述澳大利亚青年Lester采取多种举措保护本土蜜蜂,证实微小行动利于生态保护。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In Australia, 23‑year‑old biology student Clancy Lester, known as “The Bee Man”, is trying to protect over 2,000 native bee species. (在澳大利亚,23岁的生物学专业学生Clancy Lester,人称“蜜蜂先生”,正努力保护2000多种本土蜜蜂物种。)”可知,Clancy Lester努力保护本土蜜蜂物种。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“While researching bad honey harvests with a local group, he realized the urgent need to protect native bees, so he created a website teaching people to build “bee hotels” — rooms that provide shelter for solitary bees, which make up most bee species. (在和当地一个团队调研蜂蜜歉收问题时,他意识到保护本土蜜蜂的迫切需求,于是搭建了一个网站,教人们建造“蜜蜂旅馆”——即为独居蜂提供栖息场所的空间,而独居蜂占蜜蜂大多数种类。)”可知,他意识到保护本土蜜蜂的迫切需求,由此可推断他对本土蜜蜂的现状感到焦虑。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Key requirements include morning sunlight and nearby flowers for food. (核心必备条件包括晨间光照以及附近可供采食的花卉。)”可知,蜜蜂旅馆的必备条件是早晨的阳光和附近可供采食的花。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Climate change has become a threat to bees, but Lester’s work shows individual actions do matter. Protecting pollinators isn’t just about saving bees — it’s about preserving ecosystems that humans rely on. (气候变化已然对蜜蜂构成威胁,但Lester的实践表明,个人行动确实能够发挥作用。保护传粉昆虫不只是拯救蜜蜂,更是维护人类赖以生存的生态系统。)”可知,Lester的工作向我们表明个人行动可以保护生态系统。

Hundreds of thousands of conversations with a new chat robot have been found in search engine results. Users did not know this would happen.
When the users of the new chat robot press a “share” button, a unique link is created. This link was meant for sharing with friends, but it also made the chats searchable on the Internet. A recent search found nearly 300,000 conversations from the new chat robot online. One expert called AI chatbots a “privacy disaster”.
Forbes first reported this problem. They found more than 370,000 user conversations on the Internet. The BBC saw chats where users asked the new chat robot to create passwords, make meal plans for weight loss, and answer medical questions.
This has happened before with other AI chat robots. A famous AI company recently stopped an experiment where shared AI chats appeared in search results. The company said chats are private unless users choose to share them. Earlier this year, another AI company also faced criticism when shared AI conversations appeared in a public feed.
User names may be hidden in shared chats, but the conversations can still contain personal information. Experts say this is a serious privacy problem. “AI chat robots are a privacy disaster in progress,” said Prof Luc Rocher from University of Oxford. He added that leaked (泄露的) chats have shown full names, locations, mental health details, and business information. These leaks stay online forever.
Carissa Veliz from University of Oxford said users were not told that their shared chats would appear in search results. “Our technology doesn’t even tell us what it’s doing with our data, and that’s a problem,” she said.
12. What can we know about the shared conversations with the new chat robot?
A. The conversations are searchable. B. BBC first reported the conversation.
C. About 370,000 chats were found online. D. An AI company formally responded.
13. What is Prof Luc Rocher’s attitude towards AI chat robots’ privacy issues?
A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Doubtful.
14. What is Carissa Veliz’s view about tech companies?
A. They lack enough entertainment options. B. They don’t inform users how data is used.
C. They overcharge for AI chatbots. D. They focus too much on privacy protection.
15. What is mainly talked about in the text?
A. Development of AI chat robots. B. How to use AI chat robots safely.
C. Privacy leaks of AI chat robots. D. Suggestions on improving AI chat robots.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章以一种新的AI聊天机器人的数十万条用户对话在搜索引擎泄露为切入点,介绍“分享”按钮生成的链接导致对话可被搜索的问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Hundreds of thousands of conversations with a new chat robot have been found in search engine results. Users did not know this would happen.(在搜索引擎的结果中,发现了数十万计与一款新聊天机器人进行的对话记录。用户们此前并不知晓会有这样的情况发生)”可知,与AI聊天机器人进行的数十万条用户对话,在用户不知情的情况下,被暴露在搜索引擎结果中,即这些对话是可搜索的。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段““AI chat robots are a privacy disaster in progress,” said Prof Luc Rocher from University of Oxford. He added that leaked (泄露的) chats have shown full names, locations, mental health details, and business information. These leaks stay online forever.(牛津大学的卢克·罗彻教授表示:“人工智能聊天机器人正在引发一场隐私危机。”他还指出,泄露的聊天记录中包含了全名、住址、心理健康状况以及商业信息等敏感内容。这些信息会永远保留在网络上)”可知,Luc Rocher称A I聊天机器人是进行中的隐私灾难,这表明他的态度是批评性的。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Carissa Veliz from University of Oxford said users were not told that their shared chats would appear in search results. “Our technology doesn’t even tell us what it’s doing with our data, and that’s a problem,” she said.(来自牛津大学的卡里萨·维利兹表示,用户并未被告知他们共享的聊天记录会出现在搜索结果中。她说:“我们的技术甚至都不会告知我们对数据的处理方式,这确实是个问题。”)”可知,Carissa Veliz指出技术未向用户说明数据处理方式是个问题。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并根据第二段“When the users of the new chat robot press a “share” button, a unique link is created. This link was meant for sharing with friends, but it also made the chats searchable on the Internet. A recent search found nearly 300,000 conversations from the new chat robot online. One expert called AI chatbots a “privacy disaster”.(当新聊天机器人使用者点击“分享”按钮时,就会生成一个独特的链接。这个链接原本是为与朋友分享而设的,但同时也使得这些聊天内容能够在互联网上被搜索到。最近的一次搜索发现,有关新聊天机器人的聊天记录有近30万条之多。一位专家称人工智能聊天机器人造成了“隐私灾难”)”可知,这篇文章主要谈论的是人工智能聊天机器人存在的隐私泄露问题。

【18题详解】
根据上文“List your tasks in terms of importance.(按重要性列出你的任务)”以及后文“To-do lists are a great tool, but organize them a little rather than just writing down everything that needs to get done. Group tasks in terms of importance.(待办事项清单是一个很好的工具,但要稍微整理一下,而不是把需要做的每件事都写下来。 根据重要性将任务分组)”可知,本段的建议是在工作前列出清单,D选项中list对应后文中lists。故D选项“在你开始一天的工作之前,列一个清单”符合语境,故选D。

Little Notes
Once again, I headed out to look for a job. Although I wasn’t very confident about the interview, I still held my head high, trying to stay hopeful under the morning sun. Before leaving, I made sure to stick a note on the fridge that read, “Son, finish your breakfast and have a good day.” Then I walked out of the door.
This quiet tradition came from my father. I still remember how, before every trip, he would leave a note on my desk: “I’ll come back with gifts for you.” When I stayed up late studying, I would open my pencil box and find another note inside: “Go to bed and have a good dream.” During summer camp, I would find a little note in my pocket that said, “Take care of yourself.” Those small pieces of paper were my first understanding of love — a gentle way of reminding me that someone always cared.
Years later, when my own son Jack was old enough to read, I continued the tradition. I left little notes throughout his life: “You are smarter than you think” in his math book, “Son, my little sun” on his bedroom door, and “Good luck at soccer” inside his shoe. He never said anything about them, but he became a happy, brave, and kind boy. That was enough for me.
Then came the hardest winter of my life. My company cut our pay, and people began whispering about who might lose their jobs. I worked every day with a heavy heart, always anxious, but in the end, I was still told to leave. It was a huge shock — but things got even harder. My husband lost his job too and had to move to another city to find work. I didn’t have time to feel sad. I needed to find a new job quickly to support our family.

That evening, after another long, unsuccessful day, I came home tired and sad.

【答案】例文
That evening, after another long, unsuccessful day, I came home tired and sad. Dragging my tired feet into the quiet kitchen, I sat down in a chair, filled with anxiety about losing jobs and our difficult family life. When I opened the fridge to get some cold water, a small note next to a bright red apple drew my attention at once. I opened the note carefully, on which Jack wrote, “Mom, you’re stronger than you think. Keep going. Love, Jack.” At the sight of the warm words, a wave of warmth washed over me. Lost in repeated failures of job hunting these days, I was so busy with my own troubles that I failed to notice my son’s quiet love.
The apple was fresh and sweet, and the note also filled my heart with warmth. Just like the warm notes I used to leave Jack in his childhood, the unexpected gift cheered me up and restored my courage. With every delicious bite, my tiredness and sadness faded away gradually. I went out of the kitchen, found Jack and thanked him, with tears welling up in my eyes. Before long, Jack kept leaving lovely notes: tucked in my handbag or attached to my laptop. The precious family tradition went on silently, lighting up our coldest winter and supporting me to pull through countless difficult moments.

People who visit Yao Huifen’s workshop often mistake her embroidery (刺绣品) for paintings or photographs. It is easy to see why. Yao’s works look so realistic, like oil paintings, Chinese ink wash paintings or photographs. Many of her works have been bought by domestic and foreign museums.
Yao was born into a family with a long history in the art in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. Her grandparents and parents worked in the industry. She started to learn from her grandmother and mother when she was little. Influenced by her father, she always loved to read books about art and esthetics (美学). She attended lectures on philosophy and art innovation when she was growing up. “You might not use the knowledge in the beginning, but what you read and what you experience will eventually be reflected in your works,” says Yao.
Form more than 10 years, she learned embroidery from masters of Suzhou embroidery and gradually became famous for her own skill. Elected as a promoter and ambassador of Suzhou embroidery, she has been to many countries for cultural communication, including the United States, France and Italy.
Like many intangible cultural heritage items, Suzhou embroidery faces the problem of finding young people to pass the craft down. The huge input of time and energy required to learn embroidery, Yao admits, has scared away many young people. However, she takes it as her responsibility to attract and train enough inheritors (继承人). She cooperated with colleges in Suzhou to open an embroidery course and teach the students for free. Yao has been teaching embroidery lovers at her workshop for many years. Some of her students have set up their own workshops and started to teach others themselves.
“Traditional handicrafts need to conform to the current esthetics and cannot get stuck in the standards of old times. Embroidery techniques should also be improved continuously.” Yao suggests that embroiderers should open up new horizons instead of working in workshops all day long. She visits art exhibitions and museums at every opportunity when she goes to big cities.
4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph?
A. To compare embroidery with photos.
B. To list some mistaken views on embroidery.
C. To highlight Yao Huifen’s extraordinary skill.
D. To clarify the differences between embroidery and paintings.
5. According to Yao, why are young people unwilling to learn embroidery?
A. They find it takes lots of time and efforts. B. They lack interest in it.
C. They consider it costs much money. D. They have a different taste for beauty.
6. The underlined word “conform” in the last paragraph most likely means ________.
A. say no (to) B. follow C. adjust (to) D. replace
7. What can we infer from the text?
A. Yao Huifen prefers working in big cities. B. Embroidery is gradually regaining its fame.
C. Yao Huifen has a talent for teaching embroidery. D. Yao Huifen is struggling to inherit Suzhou embroidery.
C
As we know, bees play an important role in the ecosystem. Not only do many of them make honey, but they also pollinate (授粉) local plants, which is good for plant life worldwide to continue. However, habitat loss and environmental changes are threatening these bees. In Australia, 23-year-old biology student Clancy Lester, known as “The Bee Man”, is trying to protect over 2,000 native bee species.
Lester’s passion for nature began in childhood. While researching bad honey harvests with a local group, he realized the urgent need to protect native bees, so he created a website teaching people to build “bee hotels” — rooms that provide shelter for solitary bees, which make up most bee species. Unlike honeybees in hives (蜂房), solitary bees live alone and need safe spaces to nest and lay eggs.
Bee hotels are like natural habitats. They can be made using hollow bamboo, wooden blocks with small holes, or even sand-clay mixtures. Key requirements include morning sunlight and nearby flowers for food. These simple structures offer temporary homes for bees facing habitat loss. Lester stresses that even small efforts, like building a bee hotel, can make a difference: “For humans, it’s a quick project, but for bees, it could save their species.”
Beyond bee hotels, Lester calls on changing city’s green spaces into bee-friendly zones. Grasslands or unused city areas could become gardens filled with native plants, linking parks and bee-friendly zones to create “habitat corridors” for insects. This way can help solve the problem while making cities greener.
Climate change has become a threat to bees, but Lester’s work shows individual actions do matter. Protecting pollinators isn’t just about saving bees — it’s about preserving ecosystems that humans rely on. By building bee hotels or planting flowers, everyone can contribute to a healthier planet. As Lester proves, small steps can lead to a significant change, ensuring these tiny pollinators continue their irreplaceable work.
8. What does Clancy Lester make efforts to do?
A. Reduce pollution in Australian cities. B. Breed honeybees for money.
C. Study the effects of climate change. D. Protect native bee species.
9. What feeling does Lester have about the present situation of native bees?
A. Hopeful. B. Anxious. C. Relaxed. D. Surprised.
10. What is a must for Clancy Lester’s bee hotels?
A. Morning sunlight and nearby flowers. B. Access to rich water sources.
C. Special materials like metal tubes. D. Protection from human activities.
11. What does Lester’s work mean to us?
A. Urbanization must be stopped for nature.
B. Individual actions can protect ecosystems.
C. Advanced technology is key to saving bees.
D. Governments should take insect protection seriously.
D
Hundreds of thousands of conversations with a new chat robot have been found in search engine results. Users did not know this would happen.
When the users of the new chat robot press a “share” button, a unique link is created. This link was meant for sharing with friends, but it also made the chats searchable on the Internet. A recent search found nearly 300,000 conversations from the new chat robot online. One expert called AI chatbots a “privacy disaster”.
Forbes first reported this problem. They found more than 370,000 user conversations on the Internet. The BBC saw chats where users asked the new chat robot to create passwords, make meal plans for weight loss, and answer medical questions.
This has happened before with other AI chat robots. A famous AI company recently stopped an experiment where shared AI chats appeared in search results. The company said chats are private unless users choose to share them. Earlier this year, another AI company also faced criticism when shared AI conversations appeared in a public feed.
User names may be hidden in shared chats, but the conversations can still contain personal information. Experts say this is a serious privacy problem. “AI chat robots are a privacy disaster in progress,” said Prof Luc Rocher from University of Oxford. He added that leaked (泄露的) chats have shown full names, locations, mental health details, and business information. These leaks stay online forever.
Carissa Veliz from University of Oxford said users were not told that their shared chats would appear in search results. “Our technology doesn’t even tell us what it’s doing with our data, and that’s a problem,” she said.
12. What can we know about the shared conversations with the new chat robot?
A. The conversations are searchable. B. BBC first reported the conversation.
C. About 370,000 chats were found online. D. An AI company formally responded.
13. What is Prof Luc Rocher’s attitude towards AI chat robots’ privacy issues?
A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Doubtful.
14. What is Carissa Veliz’s view about tech companies?
A. They lack enough entertainment options. B. They don’t inform users how data is used.
C. They overcharge for AI chatbots. D. They focus too much on privacy protection.
15. What is mainly talked about in the text?
A. Development of AI chat robots. B. How to use AI chat robots safely.

Little Notes
Once again, I headed out to look for a job. Although I wasn’t very confident about the interview, I still held my head high, trying to stay hopeful under the morning sun. Before leaving, I made sure to stick a note on the fridge that read, “Son, finish your breakfast and have a good day.” Then I walked out of the door.
This quiet tradition came from my father. I still remember how, before every trip, he would leave a note on my desk: “I’ll come back with gifts for you.” When I stayed up late studying, I would open my pencil box and find another note inside: “Go to bed and have a good dream.” During summer camp, I would find a little note in my pocket that said, “Take care of yourself.” Those small pieces of paper were my first understanding of love — a gentle way of reminding me that someone always cared.
Years later, when my own son Jack was old enough to read, I continued the tradition. I left little notes throughout his life: “You are smarter than you think” in his math book, “Son, my little sun” on his bedroom door, and “Good luck at soccer” inside his shoe. He never said anything about them, but he became a happy, brave, and kind boy. That was enough for me.
Then came the hardest winter of my life. My company cut our pay, and people began whispering about who might lose their jobs. I worked every day with a heavy heart, always anxious, but in the end, I was still told to leave. It was a huge shock — but things got even harder. My husband lost his job too and had to move to another city to find work. I didn’t have time to feel sad. I needed to find a new job quickly to support our family.

That evening, after another long, unsuccessful day, I came home tired and sad.

The apple was fresh and sweet, and the note also filled my heart with warmth.
