Safe Use of the School Fitness Room Treadmill
The school fitness room has introduced a new treadmill (跑步机) for students. Although it is easy to operate, students should not step onto it without reading the safety label first. The machine should be used only after basic instruction. If you feel faint, dizzy or in pain during exercise, stop at once and tell the teacher or fitness room staff.
★Treadmill Quick Guide
STAGE
WHAT TO DO
Before starting
Stand on the two top steps located on each side of the running belt.
Safety check
Attach the emergency-stop clip to clothing.
Starting
Tap Quick Start and wait.
During exercise
Use handrails for support and balance.
Stopping
Press STOP to stop the running belt.
After use
Remove the emergency-stop key if asked.
★Treadmill Safety Information
★Key Reminders Before and After Use
The emergency-stop key is especially important. Before starting, attach the emergency-stop clip firmly to your clothing. Make sure the clip engages enough clothing so it does not fall off. The line should be free of knots and long enough for you to work out comfortably with the key in place. If you move too far back, the key can be pulled out of the console (控制台) and the treadmill will stop.
After exercise, students should leave the treadmill clean and safe for the next user. Wait until the belt has completely stopped, step onto the side steps, and wipe the console or handrails if necessary. The rule is simple: use the treadmill not only to train your body, but also to practise safe and responsible use of shared equipment.
21. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To compare treadmill safety features. B. To promote safe treadmill use.
C. To highlight a new fitness facility. D. To explain emergency-stop procedures.
22. Which action may be risky?
A. Stopping when you feel unwell. B. Setting 9 kph and 10% grade.
C. Ignoring abnormal machine noises. D. Holding the handrails when necessary.
23. Who is most likely to be protected by the emergency-stop clip?
A. A user who moves backward too far. B. A user who steps onto the side steps.
C. A user who clips it onto too little. D. A user who leaves knots in the line.
B
In the highlands of northern Kenya, a remarkable conservation effort is reshaping the relationship between local communities and wildlife — and it begins with a simple beeping sound.
The “Tiger-Eye” system, developed by a team of Kenyan and British engineers, uses solar-powered sensors and satellite communication to warn villagers when elephants are approaching their farms. The system, which costs approximately $200 per unit, has reduced human-elephant conflicts by over 80% in pilot areas.
Historically, elephants would wander onto farmland at night, destroying crops that families depended on for survival. In response, farmers sometimes turned to harmful methods — including shooting the elephants — leading to a sharp decline in elephant populations. The conflict was disastrous for both sides: families lost their livelihoods, and elephants lost their lives.
“The Tiger-Eye system changes the situation,” explains Dr. Samuel Ochieng, a conservation biologist who helped design the project. “Instead of reacting to conflict, we’re predicting it. Sensors detect the vibrations (震动) of elephant footsteps up to two kilometers away. The system then sends a warning to the farmer’s phone, giving them time to safely scare the elephants away using unharmful methods like flashing lights or loud noises.”
But the system does more than prevent conflict. It also collects valuable data on elephant movements, helping researchers understand elephants’ migration (迁徙) pattern. This information has already led to the creation of two new protected areas.
The success has been a win-win situation. Elephant populations in the region have stabilized, and in some areas, even increased. Farmers also report fewer sleepless nights and higher crop yields. And perhaps most importantly, local attitudes toward wildlife have shifted dramatically. “We used to see elephants as enemies,” says Margaret Njoroge, a farmer whose crops were once destroyed three times in a single season. “Now we see them as neighbors. We just want to share the land with them.”
24. What problem does the Tiger-Eye system solve?
A. Lack of farmland. B. Elephant disease outbreaks.
C. Human-elephant conflicts. D. Drought in northern Kenya.
25. How does the Tiger-Eye system warn farmers?
A. By sending a message to their phones.
B. By sounding a loud alarm in the village.
C. By using drones to scare elephants away.
D. By making an emergency call automatically.
26. What additional benefit does the Tiger-Eye system provide?
A. It generates electricity for villages.
B. It directs elephants in their migration.
C. It changes local attitudes to traditional farming.
D. It creates harmony between human and wildlife.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Human and Elephants: A Better Future
B. Technology and Wildlife: A New Way to Co-exist
C. Solar-Powered Warning Systems: A Modern Method
D. Farming Challenges: A Concern for Northern Kenya
C
ART & TECHNOLOGY
1 Think “art”. What comes to your mind? Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings in the Palace Museum? Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a dancing pattern of lights?
2 The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colourful floating clouds when they are lit up at night. Visitors to one of her artworks in Vancouver could not only enjoy looking at it, they could also interact with it – literally. They did this by using their phones to change its colours and patterns. Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting, but are they really art?
3 Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts and ideas through art for thousands of years. To do this, they have used a variety of tools and technologies. Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as “artists” rather than “technicians”. This means that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things.
4 Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology. As a result, the art world is changing greatly. Now art is more accessible to us than ever before. Take for example one of China’s most famous paintings from the Song Dynasty, Along the River During the Qingming Festival. As this artwork is rarely on display, people have sometimes queued up to six hours for a chance to see it. Once in front of the painting, they only have limited time to spend taking in its five metres of scenes along the Bian River in Bianjing. Thanks to technology however, millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of this painting. Three‑dimensional (3D) animation means that viewers can see the characters move around and interact with their surroundings. They can also watch as the different scenes change from daylight into nighttime.
5 The art‑tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”. Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more and more people are exploring their creative sides. The result has been exciting new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos.
6 However, the increase in the amount and variety of art produced has also raised questions over its overall quality. Can a video of someone slicing a tomato played in slow motion really be called “art”?
7 Similarly, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists’ tools really call themselves an “artist”? And is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it? A recent project used technology and data in the same way that Rembrandt used his paints and brushes. The end result, printed in 3D, was a new “Rembrandt painting” created 347 years after the artist’s death. These advances are perhaps bringing us closer to a time when computers rather than humans create art.
8 Where technology will take art next is anyone’s guess. But one thing is for sure – with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.
一、Multiple‑choice.
28. What is the main theme of the passage Art & Technology?
A. The history of Greek traditional sculptures.
B. How technology influences modern art.
C. Ways for artists to get creative inspiration.
D. Reasons for the birth of digital paintings.
29. According to the text, which is one advantage of technology for art?
A. It makes art works much more expensive.
B. It helps more people enjoy art works.
C. It completely solves all art quality problems.
D. It stops people from visiting real museums.
30. What problem does the text mention about tech‑art?
A. Few artists want to use technical tools.
B. Digital art cannot show ancient paintings.
C. People begin to doubt what real art is.
D. Technology can only create 3‑D works.
31. Judge whether each statement is True (T) or False (F) according to the theme of the text.
1 In the past, art and technology were generally considered totally different things. ( )
2 Thanks to technology, people can enjoy the digital version of Along the River During the Qingming Festival. ( )
3 Technology makes it impossible for ordinary people to take part in art creation. ( )
4 The text says we are not sure where technology will take art in the future. ( )
D
My wife’s birthday falls at the beginning of spring when the winter chill still hangs over the approaching warmth.
On that day, I came home from work, stopped her from entering the kitchen and asked her to dine out. “Has Lily called?” she asked. I shook my head. The atmosphere at the dinner was oppressive. My wife kept glancing at her phone, showing no signs of appetite.
Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance. And after she left for college, my wife would call her countless times from morning till night. How could she ignore all our love and utterly forget her mum’s birthday? On the way to work, I texted Lily, “Your mum didn’t sleep well last night.”
Another day concluding, we were about to go to bed when there was a sound of a key rattling in the lock. In came our daughter, face red with cold, birthday cake in hand. “Sorry, Mum. Happy birthday!” she said, tears welling up. Immediately, my wife pulled Lily into a hug, complaining, “You silly girl, why do you come all the way back at such a time? Don’t you know it is cold outside?”
Lily just stayed two hours in case of missing her classes. Seeing Lily boarding the train, my wife started blaming me for that message, yet in a better mood. I did feel I handled this matter perfectly both for my wife and my child’s growth.
Later, I called my parents and told them about it. I never thought they would respond with a long silence, and then said: “How many times have you forgotten our birthdays? Has either of us ever complained?”
32. What does the underlined word “oppressive” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Relaxing. B. Funny. C. Unique. D. Heavy.
33. What can be inferred about the woman in paragraph 3?
A. She blamed Lily for her rudeness. B. She cared little about birthday celebrations.
C. Some anxiety could be felt from the woman. D. She wasn’t satisfied with her dinner.
34. Why did Lily burst into tears on seeing her mother?
A. She was overjoyed to see her mother.
B. She felt sorry about forgetting her mother’s birthday.
C. She feared to be scolded for ignoring her parents’ love.
D. She pitied herself for being half-frozen all the way back.
35. What message is conveyed from the words of the author’s parents?
A. Love is a two-way street. B. Birthday party is a must.
C. Children should repay their parents’ love. D. It is never too late to say sorry.

Winter is over and it is time for the seasonal migration of clothes. Together with my son, I sorted out more than 40 kilograms of used clothes. After I contacted an online waste collector, a young man came to take away our harvest, paying a symbolic 20 yuan. ____36____ But I could not bear the thought of my once-beloved garments (衣服) lying among leftovers.
About 50 years ago, this was not a problem. At that time, one would be lucky to have even a second set of clothes. For many years, used clothes were collected by government and sent to poor rural families as relief. ____37____ Rural areas have eliminated absolute poverty since 2020 and the collection of used clothes has been suspended.
____38____ The well-off consider it beneath their dignity to step into such shops. There are some online second-hand trading platforms, but they mostly deal in luxury goods. If any clothes change hands, they are usually wedding dresses or expensive suits.
Some communities organize weekend flea markets (跳蚤市场) for second-hand goods. Toys, electrical devices, books and furniture are well-received at such places. ____39____ After all, it would be embarrassing if one were seen wearing an overcoat discarded (丢弃) by one’s neighbor.
As a result, used clothes either find their way into bins or, as in our case, are taken away by collectors. ____40____ I believe much is sent to recycling plants and turned into new materials. However, when I imagine my brand-new clothes being thrown into large pools filled with chemicals, my heart aches. It would be better if there were some mechanism that gives used clothes a new life.
A. Today, the situation is different.
B. I thought about donating them to charities.
C. What becomes of them is not entirely clear.
D. Later, second-hand clothes shops were opened.
E. In contrast, used clothes are the least welcome.
F. We could have simply thrown them away in the bins.
G. The number of second-hand clothes shops has also decreased.

Growing up in a bustling (喧嚣的) city, I had always pictured rural life as quiet, dull and disconnected from the modern world. Buried in daily school routines, I rarely stepped out of the city and held a fixed idea of mountain villages in Yunnan. I imagined rough dirt roads, outdated facilities and limited chances for development, so I felt reluctant (勉强的) when my parents suggested spending summer break at my hometown village on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.
The moment we drove into the mountainous countryside, my old opinions were completely overturned. Bathed in bright plateau sunshine, the village unfolded before my eyes with refreshing green hills and tidy paved paths. Neat courtyards lined the road, and soft wind carried the faint fragrance of wild mushrooms and local honey, typical treats of Yunnan’s highland.
My cousin once hunted for job opportunities in crowded cities. Eventually, he chose to return home, determined to bring local farm products back to life. He noticed that huge numbers of tourists from other provinces came this summer to escape heat waves, attracted by the cool mountain climate. Surrounded by lush mountains, the village produced fresh wild mushrooms and pure plateau honey, yet these delicious native specialties remained unknown to outside buyers due to poor exposure.
To seize this summer chance, he launched an online store and tried simple live-streaming and advertising sessions. Inspired by his passion, I volunteered to help. I took vivid photos of fresh mountain produce, sorted product details and replied patiently to online customers. Little by little, I witnessed how modern technology breathed new life into this peaceful Yunnan mountain village.
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。
As visitors who had seen our live-streaming came pouring in, our business took an unexpected turn.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After this unforgettable summer in the mountains, my old views about country life were completely rewritten.

【原文】M: Dr. Evans, you just said that these ancient texts are actually the recipes from ancient Babylonia. Can you tell us more?
W: Ancient Babylonia is home to many of the things that we use in our cooking today. I bet about 50% of the energy you need every day comes from vegetables or animals that originated in this area.
M: Why have these texts taken so long to come to light?
W: These ancient texts have been known since the 1920s but were thought to be medical texts. In the 1940s, Mary Hussey, an American scholar, suggested that they might be about food. But people didn’t believe her until French author Jean Bottéro, in the 1980s, was asked to write an article about cooking in the past. He had heard about the texts, so he went to Yale University and found out that they were indeed about food.

Safe Use of the School Fitness Room Treadmill
The school fitness room has introduced a new treadmill (跑步机) for students. Although it is easy to operate, students should not step onto it without reading the safety label first. The machine should be used only after basic instruction. If you feel faint, dizzy or in pain during exercise, stop at once and tell the teacher or fitness room staff.
★Treadmill Quick Guide
STAGE
WHAT TO DO
Before starting
Stand on the two top steps located on each side of the running belt.
Safety check
Attach the emergency-stop clip to clothing.
Starting
Tap Quick Start and wait.
During exercise
Use handrails for support and balance.
Stopping
Press STOP to stop the running belt.
After use
Remove the emergency-stop key if asked.
★Treadmill Safety Information
★Key Reminders Before and After Use
The emergency-stop key is especially important. Before starting, attach the emergency-stop clip firmly to your clothing. Make sure the clip engages enough clothing so it does not fall off. The line should be free of knots and long enough for you to work out comfortably with the key in place. If you move too far back, the key can be pulled out of the console (控制台) and the treadmill will stop.
After exercise, students should leave the treadmill clean and safe for the next user. Wait until the belt has completely stopped, step onto the side steps, and wipe the console or handrails if necessary. The rule is simple: use the treadmill not only to train your body, but also to practise safe and responsible use of shared equipment.

In the highlands of northern Kenya, a remarkable conservation effort is reshaping the relationship between local communities and wildlife — and it begins with a simple beeping sound.
The “Tiger-Eye” system, developed by a team of Kenyan and British engineers, uses solar-powered sensors and satellite communication to warn villagers when elephants are approaching their farms. The system, which costs approximately $200 per unit, has reduced human-elephant conflicts by over 80% in pilot areas.
Historically, elephants would wander onto farmland at night, destroying crops that families depended on for survival. In response, farmers sometimes turned to harmful methods — including shooting the elephants — leading to a sharp decline in elephant populations. The conflict was disastrous for both sides: families lost their livelihoods, and elephants lost their lives.
“The Tiger-Eye system changes the situation,” explains Dr. Samuel Ochieng, a conservation biologist who helped design the project. “Instead of reacting to conflict, we’re predicting it. Sensors detect the vibrations (震动) of elephant footsteps up to two kilometers away. The system then sends a warning to the farmer’s phone, giving them time to safely scare the elephants away using unharmful methods like flashing lights or loud noises.”
But the system does more than prevent conflict. It also collects valuable data on elephant movements, helping researchers understand elephants’ migration (迁徙) pattern. This information has already led to the creation of two new protected areas.
The success has been a win-win situation. Elephant populations in the region have stabilized, and in some areas, even increased. Farmers also report fewer sleepless nights and higher crop yields. And perhaps most importantly, local attitudes toward wildlife have shifted dramatically. “We used to see elephants as enemies,” says Margaret Njoroge, a farmer whose crops were once destroyed three times in a single season. “Now we see them as neighbors. We just want to share the land with them.”
24. What problem does the Tiger-Eye system solve?
A. Lack of farmland. B. Elephant disease outbreaks.
C. Human-elephant conflicts. D. Drought in northern Kenya.
25. How does the Tiger-Eye system warn farmers?
A. By sending a message to their phones.
B. By sounding a loud alarm in the village.
C. By using drones to scare elephants away.
D. By making an emergency call automatically.
26. What additional benefit does the Tiger-Eye system provide?
A. It generates electricity for villages.
B. It directs elephants in their migration.
C. It changes local attitudes to traditional farming.
D. It creates harmony between human and wildlife.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Human and Elephants: A Better Future
B. Technology and Wildlife: A New Way to Co-exist
C. Solar-Powered Warning Systems: A Modern Method
D. Farming Challenges: A Concern for Northern Kenya
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍的是肯尼亚北部高地一项名为“Tiger-Eye”的科技创新系统,该系统通过预警机制有效减少了人象冲突,促进了人类与野生动物的和谐共处。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The ‘Tiger-Eye’ system, developed by a team of Kenyan and British engineers, uses solar-powered sensors and satellite communication to warn villagers when elephants are approaching their farms. (由肯尼亚和英国工程师团队开发的‘Tiger-Eye’系统,利用太阳能传感器和卫星通信,在大象接近农田时向村民发出警告。)”以及第三段对历史冲突的描述可知,Tiger-Eye系统解决的是人象冲突问题。

【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Elephant populations in the region have stabilized, and in some areas, even increased. Farmers also report fewer sleepless nights and higher crop yields. And perhaps most importantly, local attitudes toward wildlife have shifted dramatically. (该地区的大象数量已经稳定下来,在某些地区甚至有所增加。农民们也报告说失眠的夜晚更少了,农作物产量更高了。也许最重要的是,当地人对野生动物的态度发生了巨大转变。)”以及“‘We used to see elephants as enemies,’ says Margaret Njoroge, a farmer whose crops were once destroyed three times in a single season. ‘Now we see them as neighbors. We just want to share the land with them.’ (‘我们过去把大象视为敌人,’农民玛格丽特·恩乔罗格说道,她的庄稼曾在一个季度内被毁三次。‘现在我们把它们当作邻居。我们只想与它们共享这片土地。’)”可知,Tiger-Eye系统带来的额外好处是创造了人类与野生动物之间的和谐关系。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第一段“In the highlands of northern Kenya, a remarkable conservation effort is reshaping the relationship between local communities and wildlife — and it begins with a simple beeping sound. (在肯尼亚北部高地,一项引人注目的保护工作正在重塑当地社区与野生动物之间的关系——而这一切都始于一个简单的蜂鸣声。)”以及最后一段对双赢结果的描述可知,本文最佳标题是“科技与野生动物:一种共存的新方式”。

ART & TECHNOLOGY
1 Think “art”. What comes to your mind? Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings in the Palace Museum? Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a dancing pattern of lights?
2 The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colourful floating clouds when they are lit up at night. Visitors to one of her artworks in Vancouver could not only enjoy looking at it, they could also interact with it – literally. They did this by using their phones to change its colours and patterns. Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting, but are they really art?
3 Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts and ideas through art for thousands of years. To do this, they have used a variety of tools and technologies. Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as “artists” rather than “technicians”. This means that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things.
4 Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology. As a result, the art world is changing greatly. Now art is more accessible to us than ever before. Take for example one of China’s most famous paintings from the Song Dynasty, Along the River During the Qingming Festival. As this artwork is rarely on display, people have sometimes queued up to six hours for a chance to see it. Once in front of the painting, they only have limited time to spend taking in its five metres of scenes along the Bian River in Bianjing. Thanks to technology however, millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of this painting. Three‑dimensional (3D) animation means that viewers can see the characters move around and interact with their surroundings. They can also watch as the different scenes change from daylight into nighttime.
5 The art‑tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”. Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more and more people are exploring their creative sides. The result has been exciting new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos.
6 However, the increase in the amount and variety of art produced has also raised questions over its overall quality. Can a video of someone slicing a tomato played in slow motion really be called “art”?
7 Similarly, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists’ tools really call themselves an “artist”? And is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it? A recent project used technology and data in the same way that Rembrandt used his paints and brushes. The end result, printed in 3D, was a new “Rembrandt painting” created 347 years after the artist’s death. These advances are perhaps bringing us closer to a time when computers rather than humans create art.
8 Where technology will take art next is anyone’s guess. But one thing is for sure – with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.
一、Multiple‑choice.
28. What is the main theme of the passage Art & Technology?
A. The history of Greek traditional sculptures.
B. How technology influences modern art.
C. Ways for artists to get creative inspiration.
D. Reasons for the birth of digital paintings.
29. According to the text, which is one advantage of technology for art?
A. It makes art works much more expensive.
B. It helps more people enjoy art works.
C. It completely solves all art quality problems.
D. It stops people from visiting real museums.
30. What problem does the text mention about tech‑art?
A. Few artists want to use technical tools.
B. Digital art cannot show ancient paintings.
C. People begin to doubt what real art is.
D. Technology can only create 3‑D works.
31. Judge whether each statement is True (T) or False (F) according to the theme of the text.
1 In the past, art and technology were generally considered totally different things. ( )
2 Thanks to technology, people can enjoy the digital version of Along the River During the Qingming Festival. ( )
3 Technology makes it impossible for ordinary people to take part in art creation. ( )
4 The text says we are not sure where technology will take art in the future. ( )
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C
31. ①. T ②. T ③. F ④. T
【解析】
【导语】文章主要探讨了艺术与技术的结合,技术如何改变了艺术的呈现方式和人们的参与度,以及这种结合引发的关于“什么是真正的艺术”的思考。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第4段“Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology. As a result, the art world is changing greatly. (然而在今天,技术的进步导致了艺术与技术的结合。结果,艺术界正在发生巨大的变化。)”以及全文对技术改变艺术呈现与创作方式的探讨可知,文章主要讲述了技术如何影响现代艺术。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第4段“Thanks to technology however, millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of this painting. (然而,多亏了技术,数以百万计的人能够体验这幅画的数字版本。)”可知,技术帮助更多的人欣赏艺术作品。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第6段“However, the increase in the amount and variety of art produced has also raised questions over its overall quality. Can a video of someone slicing a tomato played in slow motion really be called ‘art’? (然而,艺术作品数量和种类的增加也引发了对其整体质量的质疑。一个慢动作播放的切番茄视频真的能被称为‘艺术’吗?)”可知,人们开始怀疑什么是真正的艺术。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。
1. 根据文章第3段“This means that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things. (这意味着艺术和技术一直被看作是两件截然不同的事情。)”可知,过去艺术和技术通常被认为是完全不同的东西,表述正确。
2. 根据文章第4段“Thanks to technology however, millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of this painting. (然而,多亏了技术,数以百万计的人能够体验这幅画的数字版本。)”可知,多亏了技术,人们可以欣赏到《清明上河图》的数字版本,表述正确。
3. 根据文章第5段“Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation.(我们不仅可以与艺术互动,还可以参与其创作。)”可知,技术使普通人参与艺术创作成为可能,表述错误。
4. 根据文章第8段“Where technology will take art next is anyone’s guess. (技术下一步将把艺术带向何方,谁也说不准。)”可知,我们不确定未来技术会把艺术带向何方,表述正确。
D
My wife’s birthday falls at the beginning of spring when the winter chill still hangs over the approaching warmth.
On that day, I came home from work, stopped her from entering the kitchen and asked her to dine out. “Has Lily called?” she asked. I shook my head. The atmosphere at the dinner was oppressive. My wife kept glancing at her phone, showing no signs of appetite.
Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance. And after she left for college, my wife would call her countless times from morning till night. How could she ignore all our love and utterly forget her mum’s birthday? On the way to work, I texted Lily, “Your mum didn’t sleep well last night.”
Another day concluding, we were about to go to bed when there was a sound of a key rattling in the lock. In came our daughter, face red with cold, birthday cake in hand. “Sorry, Mum. Happy birthday!” she said, tears welling up. Immediately, my wife pulled Lily into a hug, complaining, “You silly girl, why do you come all the way back at such a time? Don’t you know it is cold outside?”
Lily just stayed two hours in case of missing her classes. Seeing Lily boarding the train, my wife started blaming me for that message, yet in a better mood. I did feel I handled this matter perfectly both for my wife and my child’s growth.
Later, I called my parents and told them about it. I never thought they would respond with a long silence, and then said: “How many times have you forgotten our birthdays? Has either of us ever complained?”
32. What does the underlined word “oppressive” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Relaxing. B. Funny. C. Unique. D. Heavy.
33. What can be inferred about the woman in paragraph 3?
A. She blamed Lily for her rudeness. B. She cared little about birthday celebrations.
C. Some anxiety could be felt from the woman. D. She wasn’t satisfied with her dinner.
34. Why did Lily burst into tears on seeing her mother?
A. She was overjoyed to see her mother.
B. She felt sorry about forgetting her mother’s birthday.
C. She feared to be scolded for ignoring her parents’ love.
D. She pitied herself for being half-frozen all the way back.
35. What message is conveyed from the words of the author’s parents?
A. Love is a two-way street. B. Birthday party is a must.
C. Children should repay their parents’ love. D. It is never too late to say sorry.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者在妻子生日时,因女儿莉莉迟迟没有送上生日祝福,便发消息告知女儿妻子为此失眠,随后女儿专程赶回家为母亲庆生,作者原本自认处理得当,却在和自己父母提及此事后,被父母的点醒引发了关于双向爱的思考的故事。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“My wife kept glancing at her phone, showing no signs of appetite.(我妻子不停地看手机,毫无食欲的迹象)”可知,妻子一直在看手机,没有胃口,在等女儿Lily的电话,氛围是沉闷压抑的,heavy可形容气氛沉重,故划线词意思是“沉重的”。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance. And after she left for college, my wife would call her countless times from morning till night. How could she ignore all our love and utterly forget her mum’s birthday? On the way to work, I texted Lily, “Your mum didn’t sleep well last night.”(第二天一早,我妻子起床了,眼周布满黑眼圈。我们只有一个孩子。当莉莉还住在家里时,每年临近她的生日,我们都会提前好几天开始精心准备。而她上大学后,我妻子从早到晚给她打了无数个电话。她怎能无视我们所有的爱,完全忘记母亲的生日呢?上班路上,我给莉莉发了条短信:“你妈妈昨晚睡得不好。”)”可知,妻子因为一直等不到女儿的生日祝福,内心满是焦虑不安。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In came our daughter, face red with cold, birthday cake in hand. “Sorry, Mum. Happy birthday!” she said, tears welling up.(女儿走了进来,脸冻得通红,手里拿着生日蛋糕。“对不起,妈妈。生日快乐!”她说道,眼泪不禁流了下来)”可知,莉莉看到母亲时为忘记母亲的生日而感到难过,所以哭泣。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I never thought they would respond with a long silence, and then said: “How many times have you forgotten our birthdays? Has either of us ever complained?”(我从未想过他们会先沉默良久,然后说:“你多少次忘记过我们的生日了?我们当中有谁抱怨过吗?”)”可知,作者父母的话语传达了爱是双向的。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Winter is over and it is time for the seasonal migration of clothes. Together with my son, I sorted out more than 40 kilograms of used clothes. After I contacted an online waste collector, a young man came to take away our harvest, paying a symbolic 20 yuan. ____36____ But I could not bear the thought of my once-beloved garments (衣服) lying among leftovers.
About 50 years ago, this was not a problem. At that time, one would be lucky to have even a second set of clothes. For many years, used clothes were collected by government and sent to poor rural families as relief. ____37____ Rural areas have eliminated absolute poverty since 2020 and the collection of used clothes has been suspended.
____38____ The well-off consider it beneath their dignity to step into such shops. There are some online second-hand trading platforms, but they mostly deal in luxury goods. If any clothes change hands, they are usually wedding dresses or expensive suits.
Some communities organize weekend flea markets (跳蚤市场) for second-hand goods. Toys, electrical devices, books and furniture are well-received at such places. ____39____ After all, it would be embarrassing if one were seen wearing an overcoat discarded (丢弃) by one’s neighbor.
As a result, used clothes either find their way into bins or, as in our case, are taken away by collectors. ____40____ I believe much is sent to recycling plants and turned into new materials. However, when I imagine my brand-new clothes being thrown into large pools filled with chemicals, my heart aches. It would be better if there were some mechanism that gives used clothes a new life.
A. Today, the situation is different.
B. I thought about donating them to charities.
C. What becomes of them is not entirely clear.
D. Later, second-hand clothes shops were opened.
E. In contrast, used clothes are the least welcome.
F. We could have simply thrown them away in the bins.
G. The number of second-hand clothes shops has also decreased.
【答案】36. F 37. A 38. D 39. E 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文作者通过处理家中旧衣服这件事,介绍如今旧衣物缺少合适的流转渠道,大多只能回收处理,呼吁建立机制让旧衣服能够再利用。
【36题详解】
前文“After I contacted an online waste collector, a young man came to take away our harvest, paying a symbolic 20 yuan.(后来我联系了一家网上回收机构,一名年轻人前来收走我们的“战利品”,只支付了象征性的20元。)”提到联系线上废品回收员收走了旧衣服,只象征性付了20元,后文“But I could not bear the thought of my once-beloved garments (衣服) lying among leftovers.(但我实在无法忍受那些曾经心爱的衣服,就这样被丢弃在废弃物里。)”转折说作者不忍心丢弃衣服,F选项“We could have simply thrown them away in the bins.(我们本可以简单地把它们扔进垃圾桶。)”既承接了前文处理旧衣服的两种可选方式,又自然引出后文作者不舍得随意丢弃的情绪,逻辑连贯。
【37题详解】
前文“For many years, used clothes were collected by government and sent to poor rural families as relief.(多年来,政府一直负责收集旧衣物,并送往贫困农村家庭作为救济物资。)”提到过去多年旧衣服由政府统一收集,作为救济物资送往贫困农村家庭,后文“Rural areas have eliminated absolute poverty since 2020 and the collection of used clothes has been suspended.(自2020年以来,农村已彻底消除绝对贫困,因此旧衣回收活动也已停止。)”说明2020年后这类旧衣收集工作就暂停了。A选项“Today, the situation is different.(如今情况不一样了。)”精准承接过去的旧衣处理模式,引出后文时代变化后的新现状,完成前后时间线的过渡。
【38题详解】
后文“The well-off consider it beneath their dignity to step into such shops. There are some online second-hand trading platforms, but they mostly deal in luxury goods.(富裕阶层认为走进这类商店有失体面。虽然有一些线上二手交易平台,但大多数交易的商品都是奢侈品。)”提到富裕人群觉得走进这类店铺有失身份,线上二手交易平台大多也只做奢侈品生意。D选项“Later, second-hand clothes shops were opened.(后来,二手服装店开了起来。)”先引出后文指代的“such shops”,为后续描述二手服装店的经营困境做铺垫,形成完整的话题链条。
【39题详解】
前文“Some communities organize weekend flea markets (跳蚤市场) for second-hand goods. Toys, electrical devices, books and furniture are well-received at such places.(一些社区会组织周末跳蚤市场来出售二手物品。玩具、电器、书籍和家具在这里都颇受欢迎。)”提到社区周末跳蚤市场上玩具、电器、书籍、家具都很受欢迎,后文“After all, it would be embarrassing if one were seen wearing an overcoat discarded (丢弃) by one’s neighbor.(毕竟,如果被人看到穿着邻居丢弃的外套,那可真是丢脸的事。)”解释说要是被人看见自己穿着邻居丢弃的大衣,会非常尴尬。E选项“In contrast, used clothes are the least welcome.(相比之下,旧衣服是最不受欢迎的。)”通过和跳蚤市场上其他受欢迎的二手物品做对比,引出旧衣物在跳蚤市场遇冷的现状,和后文的原因解释完全对应。
【40题详解】
前文“As a result, used clothes either find their way into bins or, as in our case, are taken away by collectors.(因此,旧衣物要么被丢进垃圾桶,要么像我们的情况一样,由回收者带走。)”提到最终旧衣服要么进了垃圾桶,要被回收人员收走,后文“I believe much is sent to recycling plants and turned into new materials. However, when I imagine my brand-new clothes being thrown into large pools filled with chemicals, my heart aches.(我认为许多旧衣物会被送往回收工厂并制成新材料。然而,当我想象我的新衣服被扔进装满化学药剂的大池中时,内心感到一阵痛楚。)”说作者相信大部分旧衣会被送到回收厂加工成新材料,也可能会被扔进装满化学药剂的大池中,C选项“What becomes of them is not entirely clear.(它们最终的去向并不完全明确。)”承接前文旧衣被收走后的状态,自然引出后文作者对旧衣去向的猜测与担忧。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Growing up in a bustling (喧嚣的) city, I had always pictured rural life as quiet, dull and disconnected from the modern world. Buried in daily school routines, I rarely stepped out of the city and held a fixed idea of mountain villages in Yunnan. I imagined rough dirt roads, outdated facilities and limited chances for development, so I felt reluctant (勉强的) when my parents suggested spending summer break at my hometown village on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.
The moment we drove into the mountainous countryside, my old opinions were completely overturned. Bathed in bright plateau sunshine, the village unfolded before my eyes with refreshing green hills and tidy paved paths. Neat courtyards lined the road, and soft wind carried the faint fragrance of wild mushrooms and local honey, typical treats of Yunnan’s highland.
My cousin once hunted for job opportunities in crowded cities. Eventually, he chose to return home, determined to bring local farm products back to life. He noticed that huge numbers of tourists from other provinces came this summer to escape heat waves, attracted by the cool mountain climate. Surrounded by lush mountains, the village produced fresh wild mushrooms and pure plateau honey, yet these delicious native specialties remained unknown to outside buyers due to poor exposure.
To seize this summer chance, he launched an online store and tried simple live-streaming and advertising sessions. Inspired by his passion, I volunteered to help. I took vivid photos of fresh mountain produce, sorted product details and replied patiently to online customers. Little by little, I witnessed how modern technology breathed new life into this peaceful Yunnan mountain village.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

As visitors who had seen our live-streaming came pouring in, our business took an unexpected turn.

After this unforgettable summer in the mountains, my old views about country life were completely rewritten.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As visitors who had seen our live-streaming came pouring in, our business took an unexpected turn. Most tourists were fascinated by the tasty wild mushrooms and sweet honey after tasting samples. Many shared our goods on social media and placed orders immediately. Our online shop received countless orders every day, far beyond our original expectations. My cousin and I were busy packing products every afternoon, filled with pride and joy. The quiet mountain village gradually gained wide popularity online. More and more people began to know about the high-quality local specialties hidden in the mountains.
After this unforgettable summer in the mountains, my old views about country life were completely rewritten. I truly witnessed how youth power and digital sales pushed rural revitalization forward. The countryside is no longer a backward place but a promising land full of chances. Inspired by my cousin, I made up my mind to equip myself with solid expertise, striving to inject vitality into rural construction and empower villagers to embrace a prosperous and bright future. I realized that modern technology can greatly change rural development. Even remote mountain villages can embrace new vitality with innovation and hard work.
