Life can be challenging, particularly for people with autism(自闭症). It is a disorder that does not have one single cause and can take many forms. Most often, it creates difficulty in communicating and interacting with others. Severe autism may leave someone unable to speak entirely or function without assistance. But many people with autism have led rewarding or even outstanding lives. One such person is Haley Moss.
As a three-year-old, Haley was able to do difficult tasks such as finishing large puzzles. However, she couldn't say simple words like “Mommy.” The concerned parents took her to a doctor. After careful examination, the doctors diagnosed (诊断) her as having autism. At the time, the family was given some extremely negative news.“My parents were told that l would be lucky to have friends or even hold a minimum wage job,” Haley said. Yet, by getting professional help, Haley was able to join regular school classes at four. She did quite well at school, although with her poor social skills, it was hard for her to make friends.
Eventually, Haley became so successful that she made history. After graduating from the University of Miami, she got hired by a law firm and became the first autistic lawyer in Florida. Being a lawyer wasn't her first choice of career, though. Previous to going to law school, she studied psychology (心理学)and considered becoming a psychologist to help others with autism. However, Haley discovered she didn't enjoy the science classes, so she decided that becoming a lawyer would fit her interests better. In addition to being a legal professional, Haley has also published books and has a talent for painting. Most definitely, Haley has far exceeded those original low expectations of her and proven the experts wrong. In short, she has become a role model for others with autism.
24. What can be inferred about autism according to paragraph1?
A. It is a disorder that can be easily cured. B. It leads to the loss of speech function.
C. It affects people in different ways. D. It prevents people from leading successful lives.
25.What negative prediction did Haley's parents receive from the doctor?
A. Haley would fail to graduate from school. B.Haley might not have friends or hold a basic job.
C. Haley would never learn to speak. D. Haley would struggle with puzzles.
26.Why did Haley choose to become a lawyer instead of a psychologist?
A.She realized entering the field of law better suited her interests.
B. She wanted to help people with autism as a lawyer.
C. She hoped to become the first autistic lawyer.
D. She thought psychology too difficult to learn.
27.Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Understanding Autism: Causes and Challenges.
B. Overcoming Challenges: The Story of Autism.
C. A Career in Law: The Journey of Haley Moss.
D. Haley Moss: Overcoming Autism and Making History.

American users of the popular video sharing service TikTok are preparing for a possible ban (禁令) of the app by the US government. US lawmakers have warned the Chinese-owned TikTok could be misusing users' information. A TikTok spokesperson said in a statement, “TikTok US user data is stored in the US, with strict controls on employee access. TikTok's biggest investors come from the US. We are committed to protecting our users' privacy and safety as we continue working to bring joy to families and meaningful careers to those who create on our platform.”
The platform lets users create and share very short videos and provides helpful tools to do so. Videos often include popular songs from well-known artists and TikTok has helped launch the careers of new Internet and music stars.
News of the possible ban spread quickly among TikTok users.
One of those users is Ty Gibson of Greensboro, North Carolina. Gibson said at first, he dismissed the reports suggesting the app might be banned. But then, a technical problem led him to believe a ban might be beginning. The problem, which was later fixed, made a video counting tool disappear. “I thought it was the end,” Gibson told Reuters news agency. “I didn't even have time to think things through.” Gibson said he recorded a personal goodbye video for his 4.6 million fans, asking them to follow him on YouTube and Facebook's Instagram.
Other TikTok fans are staying with the service for now. TikTokBan has received more than 212 million views on the app, while SaveTikTok got over 315 million. Fans are concerned that if the app is actually shut down, it will challenge the values that Americans hold dear, such as freedom of speech.
Competing video sharing services like Triller and Byte have watched downloads of their apps rise. Some rivals (对手) are now directly targeting TikTok users. Triller, which became known for its heavy use of hip-hop music, is seeking to sign up top TikTok stars to join, said Ryan Kavanaugh, founder of Triller. Dylan Tate is a TikTok user from Greenville, South Carolina with 1.2 million followers. He has been urging other TikTok users to move to the Byte app in his recent videos. Tate says one big reason to move is that Byte gives 100 percent of ad earnings to video creators.
28. What can we know about TikTok in Paragraph 1?
A. It may be banned for possibly misusing users' information.
B. Its employees have easy access to user data.
C. It is a platform where users protect their privacy.
D. It can protect their users from losing their jobs.
29. How did Ty Gibson react to the ban?
A. He was shocked and angry at first. B. He chose to stick to TikTok despite the ban.
C. He didn't take the ban seriously at first. D. He attracted more fans with his goodbye video.
30. What happened to the competing video sharing service?
A. They tried to win over top TikTok stars.
B. They made efforts to support TikTok.
C. They forced TikTok users to download their apps.
D. They advertised their videos to make more money.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The ban makes people familiar with TikTok in the USA.
B. TikTok becomes increasingly stronger despite the ban.
C. TikTok and its rivals are competing for customers.
D. US TikTok users react to the coming ban on TikTok.
D
A research team from AMOLF in Amsterdam has created a soft robot that walks, jumps, and swims--all without a brain, electronics, or AI.As described in the study published in Science, it has no computer, no software, and no sensors. And still, it moves with surprising autonomy and speed, simply because of its body and how it interacts with the world.
So, what's really driving it? Underneath the movement is a principle you've probably seen, though you might have overlooked. Think of those shaky, air-filled tube dancers swinging freely around in front of gas stations. The same physics that makes them move could hold the key to the next generation of autonomous robots.
Powered by a continuous stream of air alone, each of the robot's soft, tubular legs begins to swing. On its own, each leg waves around randomly. But when many are coupled together, their motions quickly synchronize. “Suddenly, order emerges from chaos," says the first author Alberto Comoretto.” No controllers, no programming. Complex collective motions arise just from simple interactions.” Even more surprising, the synchronization adapts. If the robot runs into an obstacle, it adjusts itself. When it moves from land to water, it quickly shifts to freestyle swimming. All the movement emerges from the tight coupling between body and environment.
The research challenges the conventional idea that robots need complicated control systems to realize lifelike behavior. “Simple objects, like tubes, can give rise to complex and functional behavior, provided we understand how to take advantage of the underlying physics,”says principal investigator Bas Overvelde. “There is no brain, no computer. Essentially, it's a machine. But when properly designed, it can outperform many robotic systems and behave like an artificial creature.”
Possible future applications range from smart pills to space technology: safe micro robots that can be swallowed and release drugs after autonomously reaching the target tissue, robotic wearable suits matching the walking steps without processors, reducing power consumption while enhancing human strength. More broadly, these examples illustrate how this research opens doors to mechanical systems that behave as if they had a computer, without actually needing one.
32. Why does the author mention tube dancers in paragraph 2?
A. To show the need for observation. B. To explain the operating mechanism.
C. To stress the wide use of robots. D. To introduce a daily application.
33. What does the underlined word “synchronize” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Slow down. B.Change direction.
C.Consume energy. D. Match up.
34.What enables the soft robot to adjust itself?
A. Its ability to get over obstacles. B. Its reliable performance underwater.
C. Its interaction with the surroundings. D. Its connection with a computer.
35. What should robots be like according to Bas Overvelde?
A. Physics-based. B.Function-focused. C. Cost-effective. D.Environmentally-friendly.

How to spot AI images on social media?
With the rise of AI-generated content, it's becoming increasingly difficult for common people and professionals to distinguish between real photographs and artificial images. 36 However, there are still some common signs to look for when trying to spot an AI-generated image.
Focus on the details
37 However, AI models often struggle with recreating fine details correctly, especially in areas that are more complex or less commonly seen. A good example is the image of actor Rya Reynolds. At first glance, the image seems believable, but closer inspection reveals that the fingers or his right hand are oddly shaped, a common mistake in AI images. In addition, if you look at the writing on his F1 jacket, it turns out to be nonsense, without readable content. This is another red flag. 38
Be aware of perfection
AI-generated images often appear too perfect. The faces in these images can look unusually smooth or “airbrushed,” lacking the small imperfections that make real human faces look natural. 39
However, upon closer examination, the facial features may lack skin texture(质感) or depth, giving the photo an unreal quality. Another clue is the background setting.AI often places subjects in overly ideal or fantasy-like environments. If a seemingly realistic photo includes an odd detail, like a flock of swans in an unlikely place, it could suggest that the image is computer-generated.
Reverse (反向) image search
When visual clues aren't enough, reverse image searching can help. By uploading the image to a search engine, you can see where else it appears online. Real photos tend to exist across multiple sources. AI-generated images, on the other hand, usually have limited web presence. 40 This may tag the image with terms like “AI-generated,” giving you a clear answer.
While AI-generated images are improving, they still leave behind subtle traces. Learning to spot these clues helps us stay alert and more informed in an era where seeing is no longer always believing.
A. Additionally, reverse searches may link to the original uploader.
B. Images generated by machines can now look incredibly realistic.
C. Even experts in computer imaging have a hard time getting used to it.
D. Consequently, we can see AI fails to carry out human will appropriately.
E. AI images are created by processing large quantities of data from photos.
F. So, AI struggles to represent detailed contents, which easily gives it away.
G. For instance, an AI image of pop star Ariana Grande may initially appear lifelike.

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。
Ethan had always lived by checklists -precise and detailed. At school, he double-checked his answers, rewrote notes in perfect handwriting, and organized his pens by size and color. But the world often refused to follow his plan. A missed question, a group project gone off track, or even a messy desk could send him into hours of self-blame.
During a school event, he was struck by what was advertised on the poster of a pottery class,“Join us. Create, relax, and just be yourself." He eagerly signed up, hoping it might ease the anxiety that had wrapped him around for long.
On the first day of their pottery workshop, Ethan arrived earlier, and spent almost an hour arranging and rearranging all the tools, the wheel, carving knives, brushes, and measuring cups... He carefully lined them up like surgical instruments. He had even watched twelve instructional videos the night before, determined to get everything right. Yet somehow, his third attempt at a simple bowl that day still exploded in the kiln (窑).
Maybe the shape was not right, Ethan thought.Ms.Alvarez, their instructor, approached Ethan and said with a warm smile, “Beginner's tip. Don't worry about making it perfect.” Ethan froze. The word “Perfect” hung in the air, sharp and cold. He wanted to explain, to say that “perfect” was the only way he knew how to feel safe. But the words stayed inside.
Around him, the others were making uneven(歪歪扭扭的) bowls and plates with funny-looking curves. Some were even laughing at their own “disasters”. No one seemed to mind getting it wrong. Ethan looked down at his hands, still lightly dusted with clay(黏土).For a moment, he just stared, and then realized maybe “not being perfect" wasn't as scary as he had always thought. He let out a small, hesitant smile, turned back to the soft clay on his table, and began shaping it-ready for a fourth attempt.
注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Forget about making it perfect." Ms. Alvarez's words gently landed beside him._______________

The Person I Look Up To Most
Dear boys and girls,
I feel it an honour to give a speech here.The person I truly look up to is my English teacher, Ms. Li. She is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly patient and encouraging.
What makes her my role model is her passion for teaching. She never simply follows the textbook; instead, she uses stories and games to make lessons lively. I used to be afraid of speaking English in class, but she always smiled and said, “Don’t worry, just try.” Her kindness and encouragement gave me confidence. Now, I actively participate in class discussions.Moreover, she teaches us valuable life lessons, like the importance of belief and perseverance. She is convinced that every student has unique potential to be dug out. It is she that motivates me to work harder to pursue my dream and be a better self.
I sincerely hope to become someone like her in the future—someone who positively influences others.
That’s all .Thank you for listening!

参考范文
"Forget about making it perfect. " Ms. Alvarez's words gently landed beside him. Hearing this, Ethan hesitated, then closed his notebook and let his fingers press into the clay with no checklist. His hands worked clumsily at first, but soon the rhythm of shaping took over, each motion less about worry and more about exploration. Halfway through, Ethan pressed too hard while shaping -the curve got a little uneven. He glanced at Ms. Alvarez, remembering her gentle voice. Just this once, he decided not to start over. Ms. Alvarez watched him, offering gentle encouragement. With her guidance, Ethan carefully placed his newly formed clay piece into the kiln.
“Now," Ms. Alvarez said to Ethan with a smile, “let's wait. " He stepped back from the warm glow of the kiln, a sense of quiet anticipation settling within him. It wasn't the anxiety about perfection, but a quiet curiosity about what might emerge. When the kiln finally cooled and the pieces were revealed, Ms. Alvarez came over, pride shining in her eyes. “Beautiful work, Ethan.”“Thank you... for reminding me it didn't have to be perfect," Ethan murmured, his lips curling into a small, relieved smile. The bowl was far from perfect. But it held its shape and was unique. For once, he didn't feel the urge to fix it, to start over, to make it match some invisible standard. Ethan felt a strange lightness, as if the weight of all his checklists had finally lifted.
