Alia Bhatt grew up in Mumbai surrounded by animals, largely because her sister Shaheen kept bringing home stray kittens. These strays often arrived in poor condition — starving or sick. When their mother tried to stop the parade of kittens, the girls hid them in their room until they recovered. “It was compulsive, almost,” Bhatt says. “My heart opened up very young.”
This love of animals stayed with her into adulthood. Today, as one of India’s most recognizable actresses with nearly 90 million Instagram followers, she uses her reach to highlight animal welfare and environmental issues through films, children’s books, and campaigns. “I started to question if my voice had quality,” she says. “I decided to focus on something I’m passionate about — and that’s animals.”
Bhatt’s tactics (策略) are creative and varied. Her 2021-founded production company, Eternal Sunshine, has a logo featuring two cats. She executive produced Poacher, a 2024 hit miniseries based on a real elephant poaching investigation in India. Eternal Sunshine also partners with an eco-film festival to encourage filmmakers to focus on the environment.
“Stories have an amazing way to impact our minds,” Bhatt says. “Once you tell a story, it’s there forever.” Stories can profoundly impact children, and Bhatt is the author of The Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma, a children’s book series following a girl and her adopted dog on animal-helping adventures. Inspired by her daughter’s love for animals, she aims to foster children’s passion for wildlife. Bhatt also launched MiSu, a resale platform for pre-loved celebrity clothes, extending garment lifespans, cutting waste, and boosting India’s circular fashion.
Bhatt doesn’t consider herself an environmental expert. Her partner Dorita D’ Souza notes she makes conservation accessible, driven by the deep empathy for animals she developed in childhood.
4. What drives Alia Bhatt to engage in animal and environmental protection?
A. Fame seeking. B. Family pressure. C. Childhood passion. D. Expertise pursuit.
5. What is a practical measure taken by Alia Bhatt for public welfare?
A. Keeping stray animals at home. B. Producing related films and books.
C. Launching a new clothing brand. D. Reducing entertainment activities.
6. Which of the following can best describe Alia Bhatt according to the text?
A. Cautious and ambitious. B. Humorous and diligent.
C. Compassionate and committed. D. Generous and innovative.
7. What message does the passage mainly convey?
A. Childhood experiences shape lifelong deeds.
B. Small acts of kindness make a great difference.
C. Media raises public awareness of welfare issues.
D. Celebrities should bear more social responsibilities.

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Alia Bhatt grew up in Mumbai surrounded by animals, largely because her sister Shaheen kept bringing home stray kittens. These strays often arrived in poor condition — starving or sick. When their mother tried to stop the parade of kittens, the girls hid them in their room until they recovered. “It was compulsive, almost,” Bhatt says. “My heart opened up very young.”(阿莉雅·布哈特在孟买长大,周围都是动物,这主要是因为她的妹妹莎欣一直带着流浪小猫回家。这些流浪猫来的时候往往身体状况不佳——饥饿或生病。当她们的母亲试图阻止小猫时,女孩们把它们藏在房间里,直到它们康复。“这几乎难以自禁,”布哈特说,“我的心很早就敞开了。”)”和第二段中的“she uses her reach to highlight animal welfare and environmental issues through films, children’s books, and campaigns.(她利用自己的影响力通过电影、儿童读物和活动来强调动物福利和环境问题。)”以及全文内容可知,她童年照顾流浪猫、成年后致力于动物福利和环保事业,由此可推测出,她富有同情心且坚定投入。

C
Pop culture holds that if you’re trapped in a well, Lassie will lead the rescue — but if you’re stuck with Garfield, you’d better have some lasagna (千层面) in your pocket. And a recent study suggests such stereotypes (刻板印象) aren’t far off.
The study grew out of a broader question about prosocial behavior — why some species help others and some don’t, says comparative ethologist Melitta Csepregi. To get at that, she and her colleagues compared 19 children (16-24 months old) with 38 untrained pet dogs and 22 cats — three species that live closely with humans but differ sharply in their evolutionary histories.
In the experiment, a familiar caregiver — the child’s parent or the pet’s owner — interacted with a sponge (海绵) before turning away. Then an experimenter hid it in full view of the study subject. Across three trials — when the sponge was unreachable and covered, then visible but out of reach, then fully reachable — the caregiver searched, repeating, “I can’t find it. What should I do?” but never directly addressing the subject.
The study, published in Animal Behaviour, found that all three groups paid similar levels of attention. But children and dogs were more likely to show helping-related behaviors — approaching, indicating or retrieving the object. By the third trial, more than half the dogs and nearly half the kids indicated the object’s location, and some even brought it to the caregiver. Cats never approached it and only rarely indicated its location.
So was it that the cats didn’t understand the cue, or did they just lack the motivation? To find out, the researchers added a final trial, replacing the sponge with food or a favorite toy. Cats then approached and indicated the object as often as dogs and children did.
“This brilliant study puts hard data to showing that cats aren’t mean but operate on a different evolutionary system,” says ethologist Elisabetta Palagi, who was not part of the study. Dogs and children, she notes, are evolutionarily hardwired to treat another’s problem as their own. Cats, however, remain autonomous, understanding the situation without feeling forced to intervene unless there’s a direct benefit for themselves. “They truly are the efficient specialists of the animal kingdom.”
8. How does the author introduce the research topic in paragraph 1?
A. By presenting a scientific theory. B. By citing pop culture images.
C. By questioning certain stereotypes. D. By describing a rescue experience.
9. What can we learn about the experiment?
A. The caregiver turned to the subject for help.
B. The first three trials were randomly conducted.
C. The last trial explored the cause of cats’ inaction.
D. The subjects have identical evolutionary histories.
10. What does the underlined word “retrieving” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Fetching. B. Locating. C. Overlooking. D. Identifying.
11. What does Palagi mean by referring to cats as “efficient specialists”?
A. They are less attached to humans.
B. They are evolutionarily superior.
C. They help only when it pays to do so.
D. They are more efficient at problem-solving.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍一项研究,探究了儿童、狗和猫的助人行为差异,揭示猫仅在自身获益时才会提供帮助。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Pop culture holds that if you’re trapped in a well, Lassie will lead the rescue — but if you’re stuck with Garfield, you’d better have some lasagna (千层面) in your pocket. And a recent study suggests such stereotypes (刻板印象) aren’t far off.(流行文化认为,如果你被困在井里,莱西会带队救援,但如果你和加菲猫困在一起,你最好口袋里装些千层面。近期一项研究表明,这类刻板印象并非毫无根据)”可知,作者通过引用流行文化中的形象引出研究主题。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“So was it that the cats didn’t understand the cue, or did they just lack the motivation? To find out, the researchers added a final trial, replacing the sponge with food or a favorite toy.(是猫咪不理解暗示,还是仅仅缺乏动力?为了弄清这一点,研究人员增设了最后一轮实验,用食物或心仪玩具替换了海绵)”可知,最后一轮实验是为了探究猫咪无作为的原因。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“But children and dogs were more likely to show helping-related behaviors — approaching, indicating or retrieving the object. By the third trial, more than half the dogs and nearly half the kids indicated the object’s location, and some even brought it to the caregiver.(但儿童和狗狗更有可能表现出与助人相关的行为——靠近、指明或retrieving物品。到第三轮实验时,超过一半的狗和将近一半的孩子指明了物品的位置,有一些甚至把它拿给了看护者)”可知,retrieving在此处表示“取回、拿回”,与fetching含义一致。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“Cats, however, remain autonomous, understanding the situation without feeling forced to intervene unless there’s a direct benefit for themselves.(然而猫咪保持独立,能认清状况,但不会被迫介入,除非能给自己带来直接好处)”可知,猫咪只在有利可图时才会提供帮助,这也是其被称作高效专精者的原因。
D
Traditionally, deep strategic analysis required extensive financial support and massive data teams, giving wealthy footballing nations a distinct advantage. Smaller countries with limited budgets could rarely afford dedicated data scientists or custom analytics software, creating an unfair gap in competitive preparation.
This imbalance will be largely erased at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, thanks to a full set of artificial intelligence tools co-developed by FIFA and its official tech partner Lenovo. The core of this AI revolution is Football AI Pro, a generative AI platform open free of charge to all 48 competing teams across Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Powered by Lenovo’s advanced AI technology and built on FIFA’s tailored Football Language model, the platform processes hundreds of millions of data points from every match. It turns complicated athletic statistics into easy-to-digest outputs: written strategic summaries, highlight video clips, interactive charts and dynamic 3D field visualizations. Supporting over 15 human languages, the AI assistant lets coaches type natural-language questions before kickoff to study opposing teams’ patterns, and after games to fix their own team’s weak spots. To protect independent human coaching judgment, FIFA has set a strict rule: Football AI Pro cannot be used during live match play.
FIFA’s innovation team stresses that artificial intelligence acts only as an assistant, never a replacement for human skill, judgment or creativity. The software can process endless match data, but it cannot copy a coach’s intuition, a referee’s sense of fair play, or a player’s spontaneous in-game brilliance.
Looking ahead, the 2026 World Cup serves as a global blueprint for how AI can make top sports more equal. For decades, cutting-edge sports technology was a luxury reserved for well-funded top leagues and wealthy national teams. This tournament proves that intelligent data tools can be shared universally, letting talent — not financial power — decide which teams advance in the world’s biggest football competition.
12. Why is the AI platform developed?
A. To bridge the divide. B. To maximize profits.
C. To encourage creativity. D. To gain global popularity.
13. What can be learned about Football AI Pro from paragraph 3?
A. It dominates live matches. B. It sets limits on language.
C. It simplifies complex data. D. It determines human judgement.
14. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. Limitations of AI platforms.
B. Application of intelligent data tools.
C. Prospect of top football teams.
D. Significance of AI-based sports tech.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Football AI Pro: A Game Controller
B. FIFA World Cup: A Highly Anticipated Event
C. Football AI Pro: A Capable Assistant
D. Football Language Model: A Charged Service
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了国际足联与联想合作开发的免费AI平台Football AI Pro,它通过将复杂数据转化为易懂的战略分析,帮助各支球队平等竞争,体现了AI作为辅助工具在体育领域的公平化意义。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Smaller countries with limited budgets could rarely afford dedicated data scientists or custom analytics software, creating an unfair gap in competitive preparation. (预算有限的小国很少能负担得起专门的数据科学家或定制分析软件,这在赛前准备上造成了不公平的差距。)”以及第二段“This imbalance will be largely erased at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, thanks to a full set of artificial intelligence tools co-developed by FIFA and its official tech partner Lenovo. (这种不平衡将在2026年国际足联世界杯上被大幅消除,这要归功于国际足联与其官方技术合作伙伴联想共同开发的一套完整的人工智能工具。)”可知,开发该AI平台是为了消除强弱球队之间的数据技术差距,即弥合鸿沟。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It turns complicated athletic statistics into easy-to-digest outputs: written strategic summaries, highlight video clips, interactive charts and dynamic 3D field visualizations. (它将复杂的运动统计数据转化为易于理解的产出:书面战略摘要、精彩视频片段、交互式图表和动态3D球场可视化。)”可知,该平台简化了复杂的数据。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Looking ahead, the 2026 World Cup serves as a global blueprint for how AI can make top sports more equal. (展望未来,2026年世界杯作为一个全球蓝图,展示了AI如何使顶级体育赛事更加平等。)”以及“This tournament proves that intelligent data tools can be shared universally, letting talent — not financial power — decide which teams advance in the world’s biggest football competition. (这项赛事证明,智能数据工具可以被普遍共享,让才华——而非财力——来决定哪些球队能在全球最大的足球比赛中晋级。)”可知,最后一段重点阐述了基于AI的体育科技在促进公平竞争方面的深远意义。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第四段“FIFA’s innovation team stresses that artificial intelligence acts only as an assistant, never a replacement for human skill, judgment or creativity. (国际足联创新团队强调,人工智能仅充当助手,绝不会取代人类的技术、判断力或创造力。)”以及全文对Football AI Pro平台功能及其辅助作用的介绍可知,文章主要介绍了这款AI平台作为“得力助手”的角色,所以“足球AI Pro:一个有能力的助手”适合作为文章标题。

In the digital age, we interact with others online so much, so it’s especially important to be aware of digital etiquette (礼节). Here is something about digital etiquette you need to know.
Keep things respectful, truthful, and kind in your online interactions. When you’re commenting, posting, or sending a message on the Internet, remember that you’re interacting with actual people who have feelings and deserve respect. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. ____16____
Review messages, comments, and posts before sending. ____17____ Unfortunately, this often leads to hurt feelings, and you’ll often end up regretting it later — especially because what you say online is memorialized forever. To avoid this regret, it helps to pause and reflect before posting or sending something. As part of that reflection, reread what you’ve written, and make sure it’s truthful, respectful, and fair.
____18____ If you see a negative comment, you may be tempted to fight back with some heated words of your own. Though this may feel good in the moment, it only escalates things and makes them worse. Plus, unlike verbal arguments, online conversations can be preserved forever, so your words can come back to bite you in the future. ____19____
Be mindful of your audience. ____20____ The key is to adjust your behavior appropriately based on the relationship you have with the receiver and the purpose of your message. It’s appropriate to use informal language when you are sending a message in a group chat with your friends. If you’re posting a message in your online classroom for school, nevertheless, use proper spelling and punctuation, as well as more formal language.
A. Stay on topic in group chats.
B. Digital etiquette will vary from setting to setting.

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Ben,
I’m truly grateful for the reading project you’ve started. Meaningful as the project is, I find myself struggling with it.
Honestly, I am often blocked by unfamiliar vocabulary, which greatly reduces my reading efficiency and gradually hurts my reading confidence. Besides, I can hardly keep up with the complicated plot lines of the novel. Worse still, even if I look up every single word, combining them into a full sentence still makes little sense, making it quite challenging to catch the hidden meanings of the text.
Could you please share some practical solutions? I would highly appreciate it if you could give me some advice.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 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。
The Tomato Seedlings
Every spring, Mom and her two girls,12-year-old Mabel and 9-year-old Lila, turned their backyard into a tomato wonderland. “More seedlings(幼苗)than we can eat! Let’s share them.” Mom laughed that May, her hands caked in soil.
Mabel smiled, stuffing seedlings into recycled cups. For days, the sisters became tomato fairies, leaving plants on doorsteps across their Leeds neighborhood. Number 15 Park Street got one for her famous tomato jam. Number 16 received three.
Then came Number 17 Park Street.
The girls cycled past it daily—an old brick house hid behind weeds taller than Lila. Mom once said, “Some gardens grow food. Others grow miracles(奇迹).” “This one grows sadness,” Lila whispered as they stopped their bikes that afternoon.
“That’s Ms. Hart’s place,” Mom said later, cleaning tomato jam from Lila’s cheek. “She used to grow prize-winning SunGold tomatoes, the sweetest... Then... well, some changes...She stopped gardening.” Her voice softened.
The sisters exchanged looks. The next morning, they stood at Ms. Hart’s gate with six tomato seedlings.
“Go away,” came a voice from an upstairs window.
“We brought tomatoes!” Lila explained.
“I’ve no time for this nonsense!”
“They just need sun and water!” Lila stepped forward, her voice steady. “We’ll do all the work! Just let us plant them here, please? Otherwise……” she held up a seedling, “they’ll end up in the bin by Friday. They’ re SunGold tomatoes! The sweetest ever!”
Silence. Ms. Hart’s shadow shifted behind the curtain. Moments later, the old woman slid a basket onto the ground—inside was proper gloves and a trowel(铲子)with soil.
“Take that as a ‘yes’!” Lila whispered.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The girls dived into work right away.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, when checking plants, the girls found Ms. Hart standing there.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The girls dived into work right away. They put on the gloves and started pulling up the tall weeds. Mabel dug up the tough roots with all her strength, while Lila carefully piled dirt around the seedlings. The old shovel made loud scraping noises against the rocks, but they kept going, their faces dirty with sweat and soil. By sunset, six little tomato plants stood straight in the freshly cleared dirt, their leaves waving in the wind. As they packed their tools, Lil a noticed the upstairs curtain move slightly. “She’s watching us,” she whispered. Mabel smiled and left a note on the porch: “We’ll come back tomorrow to water them!”
The next day, when checking plants, the girls found Ms. Hart standing there. She held a watering can, her gray hair shining in the sunlight. “You missed a weed here,” she said quietly, pointing to a spot near the fence. Lila nervously handed her the shovel. Ms. Hart bent down slowly, her hands trembling at first, but then she gently patted the soil around a plant. “These tomatoes need bigger holes,” she said in a rough voice. The girls glanced at each other, hiding their smiles. By lunchtime, Ms. Hart was showing them how to mix fertilizer, her eyes lighting up as she spoke. Weeks later, bright yellow tomatoes hung like tiny suns, and the once-sad garden buzzed with life—a reminder that even forgotten places could bloom again.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了每年春天妈妈和两个女儿Mabel、Lila将后院打造成番茄乐园,并把多余的番茄幼苗分享给邻居。在看到17号Park Street杂草丛生的房子后,得知房子主人Ms. Hart曾种出获奖番茄,却因变故不再打理花园后,姐妹俩带着番茄幼苗前去,最终获得Ms. Hart许可在其花园种植的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“女孩们立即投入工作”可知,第一段可描写姐妹俩立刻开始劳作的情景。从戴上手套除草、处理幼苗,到日落时完成种植并发现Ms. Hart在暗中观察,留下次日再来浇水的便条
②由第二段首句内容“第二天,当检查植物时,女孩们发现Ms. Hart站在那里。”可知,第二段可描写第二天姐妹俩看到Ms. Hart站在花园的场景。包括Ms. Hart指出问题并亲自示范,到午餐时间她与姐妹俩互动增多,再到几周后果实累累,花园重现生机,展现Ms. Hart因姐妹俩的举动重新找回打理花园热情的过程。
2.续写线索:姐妹俩开始劳作 —— 除草、种幼苗 —— 发现Ms. Hart观察并留便条 —— 第二天Ms. Hart出现并指导 —— 互动增多 —— 花园重焕生机

Alia Bhatt grew up in Mumbai surrounded by animals, largely because her sister Shaheen kept bringing home stray kittens. These strays often arrived in poor condition — starving or sick. When their mother tried to stop the parade of kittens, the girls hid them in their room until they recovered. “It was compulsive, almost,” Bhatt says. “My heart opened up very young.”
This love of animals stayed with her into adulthood. Today, as one of India’s most recognizable actresses with nearly 90 million Instagram followers, she uses her reach to highlight animal welfare and environmental issues through films, children’s books, and campaigns. “I started to question if my voice had quality,” she says. “I decided to focus on something I’m passionate about — and that’s animals.”
Bhatt’s tactics (策略) are creative and varied. Her 2021-founded production company, Eternal Sunshine, has a logo featuring two cats. She executive produced Poacher, a 2024 hit miniseries based on a real elephant poaching investigation in India. Eternal Sunshine also partners with an eco-film festival to encourage filmmakers to focus on the environment.
“Stories have an amazing way to impact our minds,” Bhatt says. “Once you tell a story, it’s there forever.” Stories can profoundly impact children, and Bhatt is the author of The Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma, a children’s book series following a girl and her adopted dog on animal-helping adventures. Inspired by her daughter’s love for animals, she aims to foster children’s passion for wildlife. Bhatt also launched MiSu, a resale platform for pre-loved celebrity clothes, extending garment lifespans, cutting waste, and boosting India’s circular fashion.
Bhatt doesn’t consider herself an environmental expert. Her partner Dorita D’ Souza notes she makes conservation accessible, driven by the deep empathy for animals she developed in childhood.
4. What drives Alia Bhatt to engage in animal and environmental protection?
A. Fame seeking. B. Family pressure. C. Childhood passion. D. Expertise pursuit.
5. What is a practical measure taken by Alia Bhatt for public welfare?
A. Keeping stray animals at home. B. Producing related films and books.
C. Launching a new clothing brand. D. Reducing entertainment activities.
6. Which of the following can best describe Alia Bhatt according to the text?
A. Cautious and ambitious. B. Humorous and diligent.
C. Compassionate and committed. D. Generous and innovative.
7. What message does the passage mainly convey?
A. Childhood experiences shape lifelong deeds.
B. Small acts of kindness make a great difference.
C. Media raises public awareness of welfare issues.
D. Celebrities should bear more social responsibilities.
C
Pop culture holds that if you’re trapped in a well, Lassie will lead the rescue — but if you’re stuck with Garfield, you’d better have some lasagna (千层面) in your pocket. And a recent study suggests such stereotypes (刻板印象) aren’t far off.
The study grew out of a broader question about prosocial behavior — why some species help others and some don’t, says comparative ethologist Melitta Csepregi. To get at that, she and her colleagues compared 19 children (16-24 months old) with 38 untrained pet dogs and 22 cats — three species that live closely with humans but differ sharply in their evolutionary histories.
In the experiment, a familiar caregiver — the child’s parent or the pet’s owner — interacted with a sponge (海绵) before turning away. Then an experimenter hid it in full view of the study subject. Across three trials — when the sponge was unreachable and covered, then visible but out of reach, then fully reachable — the caregiver searched, repeating, “I can’t find it. What should I do?” but never directly addressing the subject.
The study, published in Animal Behaviour, found that all three groups paid similar levels of attention. But children and dogs were more likely to show helping-related behaviors — approaching, indicating or retrieving the object. By the third trial, more than half the dogs and nearly half the kids indicated the object’s location, and some even brought it to the caregiver. Cats never approached it and only rarely indicated its location.
So was it that the cats didn’t understand the cue, or did they just lack the motivation? To find out, the researchers added a final trial, replacing the sponge with food or a favorite toy. Cats then approached and indicated the object as often as dogs and children did.
“This brilliant study puts hard data to showing that cats aren’t mean but operate on a different evolutionary system,” says ethologist Elisabetta Palagi, who was not part of the study. Dogs and children, she notes, are evolutionarily hardwired to treat another’s problem as their own. Cats, however, remain autonomous, understanding the situation without feeling forced to intervene unless there’s a direct benefit for themselves. “They truly are the efficient specialists of the animal kingdom.”
8. How does the author introduce the research topic in paragraph 1?
A. By presenting a scientific theory. B. By citing pop culture images.
C. By questioning certain stereotypes. D. By describing a rescue experience.
9. What can we learn about the experiment?
A. The caregiver turned to the subject for help.
B. The first three trials were randomly conducted.
C. The last trial explored the cause of cats’ inaction.
D. The subjects have identical evolutionary histories.
10. What does the underlined word “retrieving” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Fetching. B. Locating. C. Overlooking. D. Identifying.
11. What does Palagi mean by referring to cats as “efficient specialists”?
A. They are less attached to humans.
B. They are evolutionarily superior.
C. They help only when it pays to do so.
D. They are more efficient at problem-solving.
D
Traditionally, deep strategic analysis required extensive financial support and massive data teams, giving wealthy footballing nations a distinct advantage. Smaller countries with limited budgets could rarely afford dedicated data scientists or custom analytics software, creating an unfair gap in competitive preparation.
This imbalance will be largely erased at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, thanks to a full set of artificial intelligence tools co-developed by FIFA and its official tech partner Lenovo. The core of this AI revolution is Football AI Pro, a generative AI platform open free of charge to all 48 competing teams across Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Powered by Lenovo’s advanced AI technology and built on FIFA’s tailored Football Language model, the platform processes hundreds of millions of data points from every match. It turns complicated athletic statistics into easy-to-digest outputs: written strategic summaries, highlight video clips, interactive charts and dynamic 3D field visualizations. Supporting over 15 human languages, the AI assistant lets coaches type natural-language questions before kickoff to study opposing teams’ patterns, and after games to fix their own team’s weak spots. To protect independent human coaching judgment, FIFA has set a strict rule: Football AI Pro cannot be used during live match play.
FIFA’s innovation team stresses that artificial intelligence acts only as an assistant, never a replacement for human skill, judgment or creativity. The software can process endless match data, but it cannot copy a coach’s intuition, a referee’s sense of fair play, or a player’s spontaneous in-game brilliance.
Looking ahead, the 2026 World Cup serves as a global blueprint for how AI can make top sports more equal. For decades, cutting-edge sports technology was a luxury reserved for well-funded top leagues and wealthy national teams. This tournament proves that intelligent data tools can be shared universally, letting talent — not financial power — decide which teams advance in the world’s biggest football competition.
12. Why is the AI platform developed?
A. To bridge the divide. B. To maximize profits.

13. What can be learned about Football AI Pro from paragraph 3?
A. It dominates live matches. B. It sets limits on language.

In the digital age, we interact with others online so much, so it’s especially important to be aware of digital etiquette (礼节). Here is something about digital etiquette you need to know.
Keep things respectful, truthful, and kind in your online interactions. When you’re commenting, posting, or sending a message on the Internet, remember that you’re interacting with actual people who have feelings and deserve respect. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. ____16____
Review messages, comments, and posts before sending. ____17____ Unfortunately, this often leads to hurt feelings, and you’ll often end up regretting it later — especially because what you say online is memorialized forever.

Be mindful of your audience. ____20____ The key is to adjust your behavior appropriately based on the relationship you have with the receiver and the purpose of your message.

The Tomato Seedlings
Every spring, Mom and her two girls,12-year-old Mabel and 9-year-old Lila, turned their backyard into a tomato wonderland. “More seedlings(幼苗)than we can eat! Let’s share them.” Mom laughed that May, her hands caked in soil.
Mabel smiled, stuffing seedlings into recycled cups. For days, the sisters became tomato fairies, leaving plants on doorsteps across their Leeds neighborhood. Number 15 Park Street got one for her famous tomato jam. Number 16 received three.
Then came Number 17 Park Street.
The girls cycled past it daily—an old brick house hid behind weeds taller than Lila. Mom once said, “Some gardens grow food. Others grow miracles(奇迹).” “This one grows sadness,” Lila whispered as they stopped their bikes that afternoon.
“That’s Ms. Hart’s place,” Mom said later, cleaning tomato jam from Lila’s cheek. “She used to grow prize-winning SunGold tomatoes, the sweetest... Then... well, some changes...She stopped gardening.” Her voice softened.
The sisters exchanged looks. The next morning, they stood at Ms. Hart’s gate with six tomato seedlings.
“Go away,” came a voice from an upstairs window.
“We brought tomatoes!” Lila explained.
“I’ve no time for this nonsense!”
“They just need sun and water!” Lila stepped forward, her voice steady. “We’ll do all the work! Just let us plant them here, please? Otherwise……” she held up a seedling, “they’ll end up in the bin by Friday. They’ re SunGold tomatoes! The sweetest ever!”
Silence. Ms. Hart’s shadow shifted behind the curtain. Moments later, the old woman slid a basket onto the ground—inside was proper gloves and a trowel(铲子)with soil.
“Take that as a ‘yes’!” Lila whispered.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The girls dived into work right away.

The next day, when checking plants, the girls found Ms. Hart standing there.
