The rules change from one school to another. Some schools are much stricter (严格的) than others. There are also some rules that are strange or funny to us. Here are some funny school rules: Strict Japanese rules Most schools ask students to wear uniforms, such as sports suits or skirts. But Japanese schools even have rules about the colour of the underwear! They also require that girls’ socks should be folded (被折叠) in a certain way and that boys’ heads should be shaved (剃). Other Japanese schools tell students that they can’t watch the films after sunset. Different shoes in the USA At some American schools, students have to change their shoes when they go into the schools every day. This makes sure that students won’t fall over on the floors and will keep the schools clean. No strange hair in the UK Strange hairstyles are not allowed in some British schools. But they may allow students to wear certain hairstyles during the World Cup years. After the World Cup, their teachers will ask them to go to the barber’s at once. 24. Why do students in some American schools have to wear indoor shoes? A. Because in that way they will feel comfortable. B. Because in that way they won’t get hurt if they fight. C. Because in that way they won’t make any noise when walking. D. Because in that way they won’t fall over and can keep the schools clean. 25. Which country’s schools have rules about students’ hair? A. Schools in Japan only. B. Schools in the UK only. C. Schools in Japan and the UK. D. Schools in the USA and the UK. 26. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Different school uniforms B. Different school lives C. Different school activities D. Different school rules C ①Have you ever felt lost in the ocean of online information? With billions of webpages created every day, finding right answers can be like searching for a knife in a sea. This is where DeepSeek, an AI-powered search app, steps in as your digital compass. ②DeepSeek, developed by a Chinese tech company in 2022, uses advanced deep learning algorithms (算法) as its core technology. Unlike traditional search tools that based on keywords, it understands users’ words. For example, if you ask, “How do plants live at night?” it explains photosynthesis (光合作用) in simple words rather than just listing biology websites. ③Another core technology is based on neural networks (神经网络), which study patterns from more than 10 billion points, such as text, images, and videos. This allows it to offer real-time information, from amazing news to new scientific ideas. ④One outstanding feature of DeepSeek is its language ability. DeepSeek supports more than 50 languages and can even translate ancient texts. In 2024, it helped archaeologists (考古学家) work out a 1,000-year-old mystery by comparing it with worldwide historical information that DeepSeek stores, building bridges between past and present. ⑤Also, DeepSeek helps students learn better. Users say it makes finding information 30% faster. Its “Knowledge Map” shows connections between topics with pictures. For example, looking up “water cycle”, it connects to “clouds,” “oceans,” and “plants” with simple pictures. Think of it like a weather map showing how rain travels! ⑥Looking ahead, DeepSeek’s team aims to combine virtual reality (VR). Imagine exploring the Great Wall through 3D while the AI explains its significance. Such development could rebuild how we interact with information. ⑦As technology develops, DeepSeek continues to change. Its journey shows humanity’s endless thirsty for knowledge–not just to find answers, but to ask better questions. Perhaps the next breakthrough lies just ahead. 27. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To criticize all the traditional search engines. B. To introduce the problem and show DeepSeek. C. To explain how algorithms work in detail. D. To compare different kinds of AI technologies. 28. The underlined phrase “Knowledge Map” in Paragraph 5 most likely refers to ________. A. a tool for drawing geographic maps B. a feature that connects related topics C. a device used in scientific experiments D. a method for keeping personal data 29. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 30. What’s the best title of this passage? A. DeepSeek: The Secret Behind Modern Search Tools B. DeepSeek: Your Smart Guide in the Information Age C. How Language Learning Helps DeepSeek D. The Problems of Traditional Search Tools 四、信息还原：本大题共5小题，共10分。 从方框中选择适当的选项补全对话，其中有一项多余。 A: Sally, what will happen if we have an English party this evening? B: ____31____ A: Why?

Reading together with others, known as buddy reading, will make this journey even more fantastic. During the journey, the buddies spend time doing a lot of reading activities. This not only adds to the pleasure of reading, but also deepens their understanding of the books. Although it is all right to have students join in buddy reading with same-aged schoolmates, schools usually pair up older students with younger ones. In 2021, Green School started such a programme and has got a great success. Both younger and older readers in this school learnt a lot from this two-year programme. For example, when they listened to each other, they learned to be kind and careful. This activity also provided them with a chance to practise lifelong skills such as exercising leadership or getting on well with others. A student called Jason said that reading to a younger buddy was really helpful. He became more confident, as he knew he was a role model for someone. The school also became a closer community. The reading buddies felt closer as they often met each other. The students were always excited when they saw their buddies pass by in the hallway. Now winter vacation is coming. It’s a great time to get into books. Why not pair up with a friend, choose a book you both like and read it together? 56. What is buddy reading? ___________________________________________________ 57. Who do schools usually pair up older buddies with? ___________________________________________________ 58. How long was the reading programme in Green School? ___________________________________________________ 59. Why did Jason think the programme was helpful? ___________________________________________________ 60. What benefit (益处) did the school get from the programme? ___________________________________________________ 九、书面表达：本大题共1小题，共15分。 61. 假如你是张华，收到了校长室发来的学生意见调查表。请你认真阅读这份调查表，并结合自己的实际情况和想法，给校长室写一封80词左右的回信。 A questionnaire for students all From: Headmaster’s office Questions Yes No（give the advice） Do you think the school clubs are great?
