Some people find their purpose by chance, while others grow into it. For Alyssa RaeTootle, the owner and creative mind behind A. R. T Photography, her passion for capturing life’s rawest, most unfiltered (未加滤镜的) moments was planted early and bloomed naturally into the career for which she was meant.
Born and raised in Statesboro, Alyssa’s love for photography started at home. Her mother was rarely seen without a camera in hand. At just 12 Alyssa was gifted her first camera. Her world shifted, suddenly everything became an adventure worth documenting. As she grew older, her natural curiosity and love for people were woven into her art. Photography became the perfect marriage between her adventurous spirit and her gift of making others feel seen, and what once was a passion project gradually turned into something much bigger: a career rooted in storytelling and service.
The name A. R. T Photography is more than just her initials; it’s her philosophy. Every session is a chance to add artistry into real life, to capture a brief moment and turn it into something timeless. Alyssa describes her style in three words: raw, real moments. She leans into spontaneity (率真) and encourages her customers to do the same, promising to create an atmosphere where they can be their truest selves.
Still, no journey is without challenges. For Alyssa, the hardest part of becoming a photographer wasn’t the art itself but combining artistic work with business demands. “There are days where you just have to weigh the pros and cons of a situation and go with the flow,” she said.
Looking ahead, Alyssa has an ambition: building A. R. T Photography into a more established and trusted local brand in Statesboro and beyond. But more than anything, she wants her work to continue to inspire others to slow down and notice the small beauty in their own lives, passions and paths — those hidden gems (宝石) that are so often overlooked.
24. What first inspired Alyssa’s interest in photography?
A. A camera as a gift. B. A family outing.
C. A perfect marriage. D. A chance encounter.
25. Which of the following best reflects Alyssa’s philosophy?
A. Art mirrors the soul. B. Form matters more.
C. Plan for big moments. D. Find beauty in ordinary life.
26. What was Alyssa’s main challenge?
A. Winning local trust. B. Balancing different roles.
C. Creating a business model. D. Perfecting her artistic skills.
27. Which of the following best describes Alyssa?
A. Curious and patient. B. Creative and ambitious.
C. Honest and practical. D. Adventurous and independent.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍摄影师艾莉莎从小爱上摄影,创立A.R.T摄影工作室,分享她真实自然的创作理念、创业难题以及打造本土品牌、传递生活之美的长远追求。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“At just 12 Alyssa was gifted her first camera. Her world shifted, suddenly everything became an adventure worth documenting.(艾莉莎12岁时收到了人生第一台相机作为礼物。她的世界从此改变,世间万物都成了值得记录的美好经历。)”可知,相机礼物最先激发了她对摄影的兴趣。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The name A. R. T Photography is more than just her initials; it’s her philosophy. Every session is a chance to add artistry into real life, to capture a brief moment and turn it into something timeless.(A.R.T摄影工作室这个名字不只是她名字的首字母,更是她的创作理念。每一次拍摄都是把艺术融入现实生活的机会,捕捉短暂瞬间,让它成为永恒。)”以及第五段“But more than anything, she wants her work to continue to inspire others to slow down and notice the small beauty in their own lives, passions and paths — those hidden gems (宝石) that are so often overlooked.(但最重要的是,她希望自己的作品能持续启发人们放慢脚步,留意生活、热爱与人生道路中那些细微美好 —— 那些常常被忽略的珍贵闪光点。)”可知,她的理念是在平凡日常中发现美。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“For Alyssa, the hardest part of becoming a photographer wasn’t the art itself but combining artistic work with business demands.(对艾莉莎而言,成为摄影师最难的不是摄影技艺本身,而是平衡艺术创作与商业运营的需求。)”可知,她的主要挑战是兼顾创作者与经营者两种身份、平衡两类工作。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“For Alyssa RaeTootle, the owner and creative mind behind A. R. T Photography, her passion for capturing life’s rawest, most unfiltered (未加滤镜的) moments was planted early and bloomed naturally into the career for which she was meant.(艾莉莎・雷・图特尔是A.R.T摄影工作室的创始人兼创意主创,她热衷于捕捉生活中最质朴、毫无修饰的瞬间。这份热爱自年少时便生根发芽,自然而然成就了这份注定属于她的事业。)”以及第三段她独有的真实自然拍摄风格可知,这能看出她富有创造力;根据第五段“Looking ahead, Alyssa has an ambition: building A. R. T Photography into a more established and trusted local brand in Statesboro and beyond.(展望未来,艾莉莎心怀抱负:把工作室打造成本地乃至更广范围内成熟、值得信赖的品牌。)”可知,这体现她有志向、有抱负。

Among etymologists (词源学家), Allen Walker Read was known as the man who discovered the origin of the term “OK”.
His quest began in 1941. He found that “OK” stood for “Old Kinderhook”, a reference to President Martin Van Buren, a native of Kinderhook, N.Y., who ran unsuccessfully for reelection in 1840. Read discovered that Democrats who supported Van Buren called themselves the “Democratic O. K. Club”. Later, a writer supporting Van Buren asked, “Will you not say O. K.? Go ahead!” This, Read wrote in 1941, was the origin of the word that later became common in almost every language and throughout the world.
Years later, Read found an even earlier source — a Boston newspaper in 1838 that playfully used initials for such phrases as G. T. D. H. D. (give the devil his due) and O. K. K. B. W. P. (one kind kiss before we part). In this vernacular (通俗用语), O. K. stood for “all correct”, spelled just for fun as “oll korrect”. “Old Kinderhook” and “oll korrect” have long been the first accepted sources for the word.
Read taught English at Columbia University for 29 years and was a consultant on many dictionaries. However, he did not believe that dictionaries should be the final authorities of the correct usage of words and phrases. “The great danger in the use of dictionaries is that they may come to be thought of as strict limits that prevent the free enjoyment of the mother tongue,” he wrote. “Standards are a personal matter. Anyone who tries to defend ‘the treasure of our tongue’ should recognize that a valuable part of the treasure is the informal element, localisms, and slang.”
Extending this theory, Read believed that everything changed all the time. He developed a strong aversion to what he called “absolutisms”, such as “perfect”, “correct”, “pure”, or “total”. For instance, Read noted that the Rockies were once called the Northern Andes, and that other names like Stony, Shining, and Enchanted were all perfectly good names. Take the word “liberal” as another example. Read said that President Reagan turned this very good word into something “dreadful”.
Throughout his life, Read devoted himself to a kind of linguistic detective work on the origins of American speech. He was widely respected and dealt with all manner of questions about words in an engaging scholarly spirit.
28. What did Read’s research reveal about “OK”?
A. It came from a Native American language. B. It was created for a political campaign.
C. It had two independent historical origins. D. It developed from an accidental misspelling.
29. What did Read think of dictionaries?
A. They should be revised frequently.
B. They are important in language learning.
C. They are the best guide for word usage.
D. They might restrict the natural use of languages.
30. What does the underlined word “aversion” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Favor. B. Doubt. C. Pride. D. Dislike.
31. Why does the author write the text?
A. To explain the history of “OK”. B. To introduce the man behind “OK”.
C. To show etymological research methods. D. To present a language learning experience.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了词源学家Allen Walker Read发现“OK”的两个起源,以及他对词典和语言标准持批判态度的独特观点。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“He found that “OK” stood for “Old Kinderhook”, a reference to President Martin Van Buren, a native of Kinderhook, N.Y., who ran unsuccessfully for reelection in 1840.(他发现“OK”是“Old Kinderhook”的缩写,指的是纽约州金德胡克的居民、1840年未能成功连任总统的Martin Van Buren)”和第三段中“Years later, Read found an even earlier source — a Boston newspaper in 1838 that playfully used initials for such phrases as G. T. D. H. D. (give the devil his due) and O. K. K. B. W. P. (one kind kiss before we part).(多年后,Read发现了一个更早的来源——1838年的一份波士顿报纸,其中幽默地使用了诸如G. T. D. H. D.(平心而论)和O. K. K. B. W. P.(分别前一个友好的吻)之类的短语首字母缩写)”可知,他的研究表明这一单词有两个独立的历史起源。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中Read所说的话“The great danger in the use of dictionaries is that they may come to be thought of as strict limits that prevent the free enjoyment of the mother tongue (使用词典的一大危险在于,人们可能会将其视为严格的限制,从而阻碍了对母语的自由享受)”可知,他认为词典可能限制语言的自然使用。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“For instance, Read noted that the Rockies were once called the Northern Andes, and that other names like Stony, Shining, and Enchanted were all perfectly good names. Take the word “liberal” as another example. Read said that President Reagan turned this very good word into something “dreadful”. (例如,Read指出,落基山脉过去曾被称为北方安第斯山脉,而其他诸如“石之山”“闪耀”和“魔幻”等名称也都是非常合适的好名字。再以“自由派”一词为例,Read说,Reagan总统将这个原本很好的词变成了一个“糟糕”的词)”可知,这些例子表明Read认为词语是在不断变化发展的,可推知他对“完美”和“正确”这样的描述持否定态度,画线词意为“厌恶,反感”,与Dislike“不喜欢”意思一致。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Among etymologists (词源学家), Allen Walker Read was known as the man who discovered the origin of the term “OK”. (在词源学家中,Allen Walker Read因发现“OK”一词的起源而闻名)”和最后一段“Throughout his life, Read devoted himself to a kind of linguistic detective work on the origins of American speech. He was widely respected and dealt with all manner of questions about words in an engaging scholarly spirit. (终其一生,Read致力于研究美国语言的起源。他广受尊敬,并以富有魅力的学术精神探讨各种关于词语的问题)”可知,文章开篇介绍Read因发现“OK”的起源而闻名,随后详细描述他的研究过程、对词典的看法以及语言哲学,结尾总结其一生致力于美国语言起源研究,整体旨在介绍这位词源学家,即“OK”背后的人。

In mid-February 2026, several Chinese humanoid robots (人形机器人) took center stage at the country’s annual Spring Festival Gala, widely considered the world’s most-watched television program. The show featured robots from multiple startups performing synchronized (同步的) kung fu moves, dances, and gymnastics routines.
The performance contrasted sharply with the 2025 gala, when earlier humanoid models appeared less capable and performed a wobbly folk dance. Within a year, however, improvements in motion control, balance and coordination have led many observers to reassess the technology’s progress. “People should absolutely be taking these robots seriously,” said Reyk Knuhtsen, an analyst at Semi Analysis. “They’re becoming visibly smoother and more capable.”
“At the early stage of humanoid robot development, Chinese companies are outpacing their U.S. rivals in both speed and volume,” said Selina Xu, a China and AI policy lead at the office of Eric Schmidt. “China has a more robust hardware supply chain — much of it built up through the EV sector, from sensors to batteries — and the world’s strongest manufacturing base, allowing companies to iterate (迭代) far faster than Western competitors.”
In 2025, Chinese companies shipped most of the roughly 13,000 humanoid robots delivered worldwide, far surpassing U.S. rivals such as Tesla and Figure AI, according to research firm Omdia. China also accounted for more than 85% of the approximately 15,000 humanoid robot installations globally in 2025, compared with about 13% in the U.S., according to data from Barclays.
Despite the technological progress showcased at the gala, analysts said significant technical problems remain before humanoid robots can operate widely in real-world environments. Knuhtsen said that the next phase will focus less on flashy demonstrations and more on the robots’ ability to reason better, work longer, and combine multiple actions to complete real-world chores.
32. Why is the 2025 gala mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To show the role of TV programs in promoting robotics.
B. To stress the rapid progress of China’s humanoid robotics.
C. To present the challenges of developing humanoid robots.
D. To reveal the growing popularity of China’s humanoid robots.
33. What do Selina Xu’s words in paragraph 3 show?
A. China’s advantages in developing humanoid robots.
B. The necessity of China-U.S. cooperation in robotics.
C. Fierce global competition in the humanoid robot market.
D. The importance of EV technology in advancing AI robots.
34. How does the author demonstrate China’s dominance in humanoid robots?
A. By providing statistics. B. By defining a concept.
C. By quoting two experts. D. By giving an example.
35. In which aspect do humanoid robots need improvement according to Knuhtsen?
A. Their appearance design. B. Their stage performance.
C. Their practical capability. D. Their commercial availability.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】文章通过2026年春晚机器人表演与前一年对比,展现中国仿人机器人的快速进步,并指出其研发优势,同时强调仍需提升实际能力。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The performance contrasted sharply with the 2025 gala, when earlier humanoid models appeared less capable and performed a wobbly folk dance. Within a year, however, improvements in motion control, balance and coordination have led many observers to reassess the technology’s progress. (这一表演与2025年春晚形成了鲜明对比,当时早期的人形机器人模型似乎能力不足,表演了一段摇摇晃晃的民间舞蹈。然而,一年之内,运动控制、平衡和协调性方面的进步,使许多观察者重新评估了这项技术的发展水平。)”可知,这里提到2025年春晚机器人摇摇晃晃的表演,与2026年春晚的流畅表演形成对比,目的是凸显中国的人形机器人一年内的快速进步。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中Selina Xu所说的话“China has a more robust hardware supply chain — much of it built up through the EV sector, from sensors to batteries — and the world’s strongest manufacturing base, allowing companies to iterate (迭代) far faster than Western competitors. (中国拥有更完善的硬件供应链,其中大部分通过电动汽车领域(从传感器到电池)逐步建立,并且具备全球最强的制造基础,使企业能够比西方竞争对手快得多地进行迭代。)”可知,Selina Xu指出得益于更完善的硬件供应链和强大的制造业,中国公司迭代速度更快,这体现了中国在发展人形机器人方面的优势。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“In 2025, Chinese companies shipped most of the roughly 13,000 humanoid robots delivered worldwide, far surpassing U.S. rivals such as Tesla and Figure AI...China also accounted for more than 85% of the approximately 15,000 humanoid robot installations globally in 2025, compared with about 13% in the U.S.... (……2025年全球交付的约1.3万台人形机器人中,大部分由中国企业出货,远超特斯拉和Figure AI等美国竞争对手……2025年全球约1.5万台人形机器人安装项目中,中国也占比超过85%,而美国约占13%……)”可知,作者通过提供具体的统计数据来证明中国的主导地位。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Knuhtsen said that the next phase will focus less on flashy demonstrations and more on the robots’ ability to reason better, work longer, and combine multiple actions to complete real-world chores. (Knuhtsen表示,下一阶段将不再侧重于炫目的演示,而是更注重机器人在提高推理能力、延长工作时长以及将多种动作组合以完成现实生活中日常任务方面的能力。)”可知,Knuhtsen认为未来应更关注机器人的实际能力。
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。
The other day, I saw myself in a cafe window, hunched (弯腰驼背) over my phone, neck bent, and shoulders creeping up towards my ears. After nearly 10 hours of screen work, my posture (体态) was the last thing on my mind. As I straightened up, symphony of cracks stretched down my spine. ____36____ Small habits lead to it! I don’t mean to hunch or stay seated for hours, but it happens.
Urvisha, an advanced physiotherapist, explains, “Poor posture does more than cause muscle aches or stiffness. It can also affect our breathing, mood, and energy levels.” ____37____ It can help to reduce pain, improve breathing, and enhance digestion, all while increasing our energy levels, and helping us sleep better. A recent study also found upright posture boosts self-esteem and positive emotions.
But knowing why good posture matters and actually feeling the benefits yourself can be different matters entirely. ____38____. It is a type of mindful walking. Essentially, it involves walking with an upright body position. Keep your head, shoulders, and hips in a straight line. Tuck your chin slightly, relax your shoulders, engage your core, and look straight ahead while swinging your arms freely. Urvisha often tells her patients to think “tall but relaxed.” Imagine a string gently lifting the top of your head upward. ____39____ If your footsteps sound heavy, your core or hips may not be engaging properly. Being mindful of how you walk helps you notice other posture-related discomfort.
You don’t need to change your whole life to get better posture. It’s like building any new daily habit. Little reminders, small changes, and a bit of patience can go a long way. ____40____
A. You will feel your steps light and even.
B. But it’s easy to change my bad posture.
C. However, good posture brings benefits.
D. I realized how easily bad posture sneaks into daily life.
E. That’s where the simple idea of posture walking comes in.
F. With time, you’ll feel the difference in your body and mood.
G. Long screen time is usually the cause of psychological discomfort.
【答案】36. D 37. C 38. E 39. A 40. F
【解析】
【导语】长期看电子屏幕易形成不良体态,不仅引发肌肉酸痛,还影响身心。文中介绍体态行走改善姿势,点滴坚持便能收获身心向好的改变。
【36题详解】
根据上文“The other day, I saw myself in a cafe window, hunched (弯腰驼背) over my phone, neck bent, and shoulders creeping up towards my ears. After nearly 10 hours of screen work, my posture (体态) was the last thing on my mind. As I straightened up, symphony of cracks stretched down my spine.(前几天,我在一家咖啡馆的橱窗里看到自己,弯着腰低头看手机,脖子前倾,肩膀向耳朵方向上爬。经过将近十个小时的屏幕工作后,我的姿势成了我最不关心的事。当我站直时,脊柱传来一阵阵响亮的咔嗒声)”以及后文“Small habits lead to it! I don’t mean to hunch or stay seated for hours, but it happens.(小习惯会带来后果!我并不是说要弯腰驼背或长时间坐着,但这种情况确实会发生)”可知,第一段作者描述了自己长时间看屏幕后养成弯腰驼背体态的亲身经历,空后点明坏习惯导致了坏体态,D选项“我意识到坏体态多么容易悄然融入日常生活”符合此处的感悟,衔接上下文。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Urvisha, an advanced physiotherapist, explains, “Poor posture does more than cause muscle aches or stiffness. It can also affect our breathing, mood, and energy levels.”(高级物理治疗师乌尔维莎解释道:“不良姿势不仅会导致肌肉酸痛或僵硬,还可能影响我们的呼吸、情绪和精力水平。”)”以及后文“It can help to reduce pain, improve breathing, and enhance digestion, all while increasing our energy levels, and helping us sleep better. A recent study also found upright posture boosts self-esteem and positive emotions.(它有助于减轻疼痛、改善呼吸和促进消化,同时还能提高我们的能量水平,并帮助我们更好地入睡。最近的一项研究还发现,保持直立的姿势可以增强自尊心和积极情绪)”可知,第二段前文介绍坏体态的多种危害,后文介绍好体态的多种益处,C选项“然而,好的体态能带来很多好处”在此处转折引出下文,符合逻辑。
【38题详解】
根据上文“But knowing why good posture matters and actually feeling the benefits yourself can be different matters entirely.(但了解良好姿势的重要性,以及亲身感受到其带来的益处,可能完全是两码事)”以及后文“It is a type of mindful walking. Essentially, it involves walking with an upright body position. Keep your head, shoulders, and hips in a straight line. Tuck your chin slightly, relax your shoulders, engage your core, and look straight ahead while swinging your arms freely. Urvisha often tells her patients to think “tall but relaxed.” Imagine a string gently lifting the top of your head upward.(这是一种正念行走的方式。其基本要领是保持身体挺直行走,头部、肩膀和臀部保持一条直线。微微收下巴,放松双肩,收紧核心肌群,目光平视前方,同时手臂自然摆动。乌尔维莎常告诉她的患者要“高而放松”地思考,想象一根细线轻轻将你的头顶向上托起)”可知,前文提到明白好体态的重要性和亲自收获益处不是一回事,后文引出了一种正念走路的方法“posture walking”,E选项“这就是体态行走这个简单方法的用武之地”衔接自然,引出新话题。
【39题详解】
根据上文“It is a type of mindful walking. Essentially, it involves walking with an upright body position. Keep your head, shoulders, and hips in a straight line. Tuck your chin slightly, relax your shoulders, engage your core, and look straight ahead while swinging your arms freely. Urvisha often tells her patients to think “tall but relaxed.” Imagine a string gently lifting the top of your head upward.(这是一种正念行走的方式。其基本要领是保持身体挺直行走,头部、肩膀和臀部保持一条直线。微微收下巴,放松双肩,收紧核心肌群,目光平视前方,同时手臂自然摆动。乌尔维莎常告诉她的患者要“高而放松”地思考,想象一根细线轻轻将你的头顶向上托起)”以及后文“If your footsteps sound heavy, your core or hips may not be engaging properly. Being mindful of how you walk helps you notice other posture-related discomfort.(如果你的脚步听起来沉重,可能是因为核心或髋部没有得到充分的调动。留意自己的走路方式,有助于你察觉到其他与姿势相关的不适)”可知,前文介绍了体态行走的正确做法,后文提到如果脚步声沉重说明动作不对,A选项“你会感觉到你的脚步轻盈均匀”,和后文错误状态形成对比,符合语境。
【40题详解】
根据上文“You don’t need to change your whole life to get better posture. It’s like building any new daily habit. Little reminders, small changes, and a bit of patience can go a long way.(你不需要改变整个生活才能改善姿势。这就像养成任何新的日常习惯一样,只需一些提醒、小小的改变和一点耐心,就能带来显著的效果)”可知,最后一段总结改善体态不需要大幅度改变生活,从小处改变加上耐心就足够,F选项“久而久之,你会感受到身体和情绪的不同变化”作为结尾收束全文,符合逻辑。

【62题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:通过钻穿该区域麒麟冰下湖上方的冰盖——该湖以传说中的中国神兽命名——此次作业为未来观测该湖以及采集水和沉积物建立了一条通道。空处被future修饰,作for的宾语,名词observation符合题意,意为“观察,观测”,宜用复数形式observations表示“未来的多次观测活动”。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意:除了钻探测试,本次考察还在推进中国一所南极研究站——秦岭站的建设与系统优化。空处是同位语,表示泛指,意为“一个南极研究站”,应用不定冠词,且Antarctic的发音以元音音素开头,应用an。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国于1984年11月派出了首支南极考察队,以开展对南极和南太平洋的综合性科学研究。句子已有谓语dispatched,空处是非谓语,“开展综合性科学研究”是谓语行为的目的,因此用不定式形式to conduct,作目的状语。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:次年,中国完成了位于西南极乔治王岛的长城站建设,成为第18个在南极大陆建立科学考察站的国家。空处作句子的谓语,根据时间状语“The following year”可知,此处在叙述过去发生的事情,时态应用一般过去时,所以用过去式completed。

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 parents do a lot of embarrassing things! Usually, it’s my dad who sings silly songs or tells boring jokes around my friends. But a few weeks ago, it was my mother who played the embarrassing-parent role.
While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned that the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And right then and there, my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!”
Before I could say “Please don’t”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear, it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.
“Um,” I said on our way home, “are you sure this is such a good idea?” “Of course!” she said. “If we want your school Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” “I know volunteering is important,” I said, “but couldn’t you help out in Tex and Indi’s kindergarten instead?” She laughed, “Don’t be silly. We will have fun!”
“OK, fellas!” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early today because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
I looked up to discover my mom standing at the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest snowflake hat. “I’m super excited to be here with you!” my mom said, “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years back, when I did some theater in college. Here goes!”
Oh please, oh please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself and me!!!
But apparently, my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Paragraph 1: “I can’t believe this is happening” was all I could think.

Paragraph 2: My mom turned out to be more than a little OK at performing.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1: “I can’t believe this is happening” was all I could think. I buried my face in my arms, too embarrassed to look up. All my classmates stared at my mom, some giggling quietly. I wished the floor could swallow me whole. Her clumsy but energetic dance moves made my cheeks burn hot. I kept blaming myself for not stopping her back in the grocery store. Every time she waved to me during the performance, I lowered my head even deeper, afraid my deskmate would tease me later. I just wanted this awkward moment to end immediately.
Paragraph 2: My mom turned out to be more than a little OK at performing. Slowly, I lifted my head and watched carefully. Her bright smile and cheerful song won everyone over. Soon all classmates stood up, singing and dancing along with her. Their loud laughter turned into warm cheers. After class, many kids crowded around my mom, begging her to come again. My teacher praised her for bringing so much joy to the class. At that moment, I felt proud instead of ashamed. I realized my mom’s willingness to help was far more valuable than my silly embarrassment.

Some people find their purpose by chance, while others grow into it. For Alyssa RaeTootle, the owner and creative mind behind A. R. T Photography, her passion for capturing life’s rawest, most unfiltered (未加滤镜的) moments was planted early and bloomed naturally into the career for which she was meant.
Born and raised in Statesboro, Alyssa’s love for photography started at home. Her mother was rarely seen without a camera in hand. At just 12 Alyssa was gifted her first camera. Her world shifted, suddenly everything became an adventure worth documenting. As she grew older, her natural curiosity and love for people were woven into her art. Photography became the perfect marriage between her adventurous spirit and her gift of making others feel seen, and what once was a passion project gradually turned into something much bigger: a career rooted in storytelling and service.
The name A. R. T Photography is more than just her initials; it’s her philosophy. Every session is a chance to add artistry into real life, to capture a brief moment and turn it into something timeless. Alyssa describes her style in three words: raw, real moments. She leans into spontaneity (率真) and encourages her customers to do the same, promising to create an atmosphere where they can be their truest selves.
Still, no journey is without challenges. For Alyssa, the hardest part of becoming a photographer wasn’t the art itself but combining artistic work with business demands. “There are days where you just have to weigh the pros and cons of a situation and go with the flow,” she said.
Looking ahead, Alyssa has an ambition: building A. R. T Photography into a more established and trusted local brand in Statesboro and beyond. But more than anything, she wants her work to continue to inspire others to slow down and notice the small beauty in their own lives, passions and paths — those hidden gems (宝石) that are so often overlooked.
24. What first inspired Alyssa’s interest in photography?
A. A camera as a gift. B. A family outing.
C. A perfect marriage. D. A chance encounter.
25. Which of the following best reflects Alyssa’s philosophy?
A. Art mirrors the soul. B. Form matters more.
C. Plan for big moments. D. Find beauty in ordinary life.
26. What was Alyssa’s main challenge?
A. Winning local trust. B. Balancing different roles.
C. Creating a business model. D. Perfecting her artistic skills.
27. Which of the following best describes Alyssa?
A. Curious and patient. B. Creative and ambitious.
C. Honest and practical. D. Adventurous and independent.
C
Among etymologists (词源学家), Allen Walker Read was known as the man who discovered the origin of the term “OK”.
His quest began in 1941. He found that “OK” stood for “Old Kinderhook”, a reference to President Martin Van Buren, a native of Kinderhook, N.Y., who ran unsuccessfully for reelection in 1840. Read discovered that Democrats who supported Van Buren called themselves the “Democratic O. K. Club”. Later, a writer supporting Van Buren asked, “Will you not say O. K.? Go ahead!” This, Read wrote in 1941, was the origin of the word that later became common in almost every language and throughout the world.
Years later, Read found an even earlier source — a Boston newspaper in 1838 that playfully used initials for such phrases as G. T. D. H. D. (give the devil his due) and O. K. K. B. W. P. (one kind kiss before we part). In this vernacular (通俗用语), O. K. stood for “all correct”, spelled just for fun as “oll korrect”. “Old Kinderhook” and “oll korrect” have long been the first accepted sources for the word.
Read taught English at Columbia University for 29 years and was a consultant on many dictionaries. However, he did not believe that dictionaries should be the final authorities of the correct usage of words and phrases. “The great danger in the use of dictionaries is that they may come to be thought of as strict limits that prevent the free enjoyment of the mother tongue,” he wrote. “Standards are a personal matter. Anyone who tries to defend ‘the treasure of our tongue’ should recognize that a valuable part of the treasure is the informal element, localisms, and slang.”
Extending this theory, Read believed that everything changed all the time. He developed a strong aversion to what he called “absolutisms”, such as “perfect”, “correct”, “pure”, or “total”. For instance, Read noted that the Rockies were once called the Northern Andes, and that other names like Stony, Shining, and Enchanted were all perfectly good names. Take the word “liberal” as another example. Read said that President Reagan turned this very good word into something “dreadful”.
Throughout his life, Read devoted himself to a kind of linguistic detective work on the origins of American speech. He was widely respected and dealt with all manner of questions about words in an engaging scholarly spirit.
28. What did Read’s research reveal about “OK”?
A. It came from a Native American language. B. It was created for a political campaign.
C. It had two independent historical origins. D. It developed from an accidental misspelling.
29. What did Read think of dictionaries?
A. They should be revised frequently.
B. They are important in language learning.
C. They are the best guide for word usage.
D. They might restrict the natural use of languages.
30. What does the underlined word “aversion” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Favor. B. Doubt. C. Pride. D. Dislike.
31. Why does the author write the text?
A. To explain the history of “OK”. B. To introduce the man behind “OK”.
C. To show etymological research methods. D. To present a language learning experience.
D
In mid-February 2026, several Chinese humanoid robots (人形机器人) took center stage at the country’s annual Spring Festival Gala, widely considered the world’s most-watched television program. The show featured robots from multiple startups performing synchronized (同步的) kung fu moves, dances, and gymnastics routines.
The performance contrasted sharply with the 2025 gala, when earlier humanoid models appeared less capable and performed a wobbly folk dance. Within a year, however, improvements in motion control, balance and coordination have led many observers to reassess the technology’s progress. “People should absolutely be taking these robots seriously,” said Reyk Knuhtsen, an analyst at Semi Analysis. “They’re becoming visibly smoother and more capable.”
“At the early stage of humanoid robot development, Chinese companies are outpacing their U.S. rivals in both speed and volume,” said Selina Xu, a China and AI policy lead at the office of Eric Schmidt. “China has a more robust hardware supply chain — much of it built up through the EV sector, from sensors to batteries — and the world’s strongest manufacturing base, allowing companies to iterate (迭代) far faster than Western competitors.”
In 2025, Chinese companies shipped most of the roughly 13,000 humanoid robots delivered worldwide, far surpassing U.S. rivals such as Tesla and Figure AI, according to research firm Omdia. China also accounted for more than 85% of the approximately 15,000 humanoid robot installations globally in 2025, compared with about 13% in the U.S., according to data from Barclays.
Despite the technological progress showcased at the gala, analysts said significant technical problems remain before humanoid robots can operate widely in real-world environments. Knuhtsen said that the next phase will focus less on flashy demonstrations and more on the robots’ ability to reason better, work longer, and combine multiple actions to complete real-world chores.
32. Why is the 2025 gala mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To show the role of TV programs in promoting robotics.
B. To stress the rapid progress of China’s humanoid robotics.
C. To present the challenges of developing humanoid robots.
D. To reveal the growing popularity of China’s humanoid robots.
33. What do Selina Xu’s words in paragraph 3 show?
A. China’s advantages in developing humanoid robots.
B. The necessity of China-U.S. cooperation in robotics.
C. Fierce global competition in the humanoid robot market.
D. The importance of EV technology in advancing AI robots.
34. How does the author demonstrate China’s dominance in humanoid robots?
A. By providing statistics. B. By defining a concept.
C. By quoting two experts. D. By giving an example.
35. In which aspect do humanoid robots need improvement according to Knuhtsen?
A. Their appearance design. B. Their stage performance.
C. Their practical capability. D. Their commercial availability.

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。
The other day, I saw myself in a cafe window, hunched (弯腰驼背) over my phone, neck bent, and shoulders creeping up towards my ears. After nearly 10 hours of screen work, my posture (体态) was the last thing on my mind. As I straightened up, symphony of cracks stretched down my spine. ____36____ Small habits lead to it! I don’t mean to hunch or stay seated for hours, but it happens.
Urvisha, an advanced physiotherapist, explains, “Poor posture does more than cause muscle aches or stiffness. It can also affect our breathing, mood, and energy levels.” ____37____ It can help to reduce pain, improve breathing, and enhance digestion, all while increasing our energy levels, and helping us sleep better. A recent study also found upright posture boosts self-esteem and positive emotions.
But knowing why good posture matters and actually feeling the benefits yourself can be different matters entirely. ____38____. It is a type of mindful walking. Essentially, it involves walking with an upright body position. Keep your head, shoulders, and hips in a straight line. Tuck your chin slightly, relax your shoulders, engage your core, and look straight ahead while swinging your arms freely. Urvisha often tells her patients to think “tall but relaxed.” Imagine a string gently lifting the top of your head upward. ____39____ If your footsteps sound heavy, your core or hips may not be engaging properly. Being mindful of how you walk helps you notice other posture-related discomfort.
You don’t need to change your whole life to get better posture. It’s like building any new daily habit. Little reminders, small changes, and a bit of patience can go a long way. ____40____
A. You will feel your steps light and even.
B. But it’s easy to change my bad posture.
C. However, good posture brings benefits.
D. I realized how easily bad posture sneaks into daily life.
E. That’s where the simple idea of posture walking comes in.
F. With time, you’ll feel the difference in your body and mood.
G. Long screen time is usually the cause of psychological discomfort.

When the six-month golden recovery period passed, I sank into ____48____, trapped in heavy negative thoughts I could not ____49____.
A turning point came when my partner said, “Life happens for us, not to us.” Her words ____50____ something inside me. I stopped seeing myself as a victim of fate, but as a warrior reshaping my life.

Running no longer ____53____ me; I now advocate for stroke survivors and people of determination, turning my story into the book Miracle in the Desert. I have accepted my new identity!

My parents do a lot of embarrassing things! Usually, it’s my dad who sings silly songs or tells boring jokes around my friends. But a few weeks ago, it was my mother who played the embarrassing-parent role.
While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned that the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And right then and there, my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!”
Before I could say “Please don’t”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear, it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.
“Um,” I said on our way home, “are you sure this is such a good idea?” “Of course!” she said. “If we want your school Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” “I know volunteering is important,” I said, “but couldn’t you help out in Tex and Indi’s kindergarten instead?” She laughed, “Don’t be silly. We will have fun!”
“OK, fellas!” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early today because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
I looked up to discover my mom standing at the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest snowflake hat. “I’m super excited to be here with you!” my mom said, “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years back, when I did some theater in college. Here goes!”
Oh please, oh please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself and me!!!
But apparently, my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.
