The toys have become so popular that a large number of tourists from Southeast Asian countries

Shanghai for shopping trips.After these tourists return to their home countries,
they resell their products at double or even higher prices,the products are still highly
sought after by local consumers.

"I could talk to him for the rest of my life,"says Yu Miao,a 27-year-old woman from Zhejiang
province;he is at once"a lover,a friend and family".Ms Yu has 11 this AI agent on
Doubao,a chatbot made by ByteDance,to mimic a dead friend of hers.When she learned recently
that ByteDance would soon remove this type of personalized agent entirely,Ms Yu became so
depressed that she left her job.
Tech firms are removing human-like personas from their chatbots in order to comply with new
government rules aimed at reducing"emotional 12 "The regulations,which took effect
on July 15th,are the first of their kind to be implemented on a national scale.Companies can still
offer such services to adults,but they will need to prevent users becoming13 and harming
their real-life relationships.Providers must also regularly remind users to take breaks.
Around the world,growing numbers of people are turning general-purpose chatbots into
companions by prompting them to adopt particular personalities.Others prefer dedicated AI-
companion apps which offer more human-like features,such as virtual boyfriends that send presents
in the real world (at the user's 14,of course).
Tech firms are making a(n)
sum selling emotional connection:AI companions
accounted for 35%of MiniMax's revenue last year,its single largest6,according to a
filing to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in January.AI companionship can create 17
relationships,turning reliance into revenue.Take some bespoke()apps,which charge a simple
subscription fee-an easy way to get users to 18 with their money.
The end to such relationships is motivated by both pragmatic and ideological concerns.
Regulators want to protect users,particularly minors.In China,the government will impose
penalties,such as cash fines and removing apps altogether.Yet the rules exclude work-assistant and
customer-service chatbots on the understanding that they are emotionally 9
Still,Ms Yu has not given up hope that ByteDance will eventually bring her agent back,even
if she doubts it will resemble the current version.She says she would be willing to pay half her
monthly salary just to keep the service as it is.In any case,she now says she realizes that it is not a
good idea to leave herself
to such platforms.

C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
What We Lost When We Lost the Veranda(有顶的屋外平台)
There is a particular quality of afternoon light that belongs only to a baramda(veranda).It
catches the steam from a cup of chai,lands on a worn chair,and finds someone's grandmother
watching the street from above,not for any reason,just to be present.A neighbour passes and slows.
A few words are exchanged.
Such spaces 21 the nervous system in ways modern environments rarely do.Human
beings are not designed for either total 22 or constant stimulation;we function best within
gentle gradients()of social and sensory exposure.A baramda(veranda)creates precisely this
condition.Il allows someone to remain partially 23 the world without demanding full
participation in it.From there,the mind absorbs shifting light,footsteps on the street,and the
movement of ordinary life.Sociologists sometimes describe this as a form of low-intensity social
belonging:the quiet reassurance that one 24 within a living social fabric,even in moments
of being alone.The veranda did not merely connect the house to the street architecturally;it
connected the individual to the surrounding rhythm of community life25
In dense traditional neighbourhoods,the veranda functioned almost like an external nervous
system for the home.It 26 awareness outward while pulling community inward.There,
children learned familiarity before friendship.Elders maintained relevance simply by being
27.Even silence became communal.Contemporary urban environments,28,often
eliminate these intermediary conditions.We move suddenly from 29 private interiors to
overstimulating public streets,with very little spatial gradation in between.And the brain
experiences this as30.Architects have a term for these spaces:semi-public spaces.These
spaces perform subtle psychological work.A living room requires commitment.A street requires
exposure.But a veranda occupies an in-between state.You are visible without being vulnerable.
What's remarkable is that cultures 31 by oceans and centuries all arrived at this same
design wisdom independently.In Japan,traditional homes often included the engawa,a wooden
32edge between the house and the outdoors where people could sit,or casually interact with
passersby.In the Netherlands,the stoep,a raised area outside the door,functioned as a semi-public
front step,a social stage where being visible meant being available.These were not beauty
33.They were social technologies,long sensed across cultures before they were theorised.
Different societies independently discovered something modern urban life often 34:Human
beings need spaces that allow for gradual,low-pressure connection.
Today,our environments increasingly push us toward efficiency,privacy,and constant
movement,leaving little room for the 35 stillness where reflection,familiarity,and
spontaneous()connection once quietly grew.Reimagining such spaces may therefore not
only help rebuild the community but also restore a healthier rhythm of living.

Section B(22分)
Directions:Read the following three passages.Each pasrage is followed by several questions or
ufinished statements.For eaoh of them there are four chotces morked A,B,C and D.Choose the
one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have fust read
(A)
Most of us would probably say we're reasonably polite,but there's one exception:We are rude
to our AI assistants.When we speak or type instructions to them,most of us don't include "please"
or"thank you,"and we don't use indirect requests that are a common form of politeness in English.
Instead,direct commands are preferred.
We dislike rude people because they're cheaters,skipping the effort to be polite while the rest
of us are putting in the work.Making some effort to be polite is essential to our functioning in
society,where we're constantly needing to interact with people outside our core family and frlend
group.
If politeness is so essential,then why skip it when talking to AI?Because we don't need it for
AI,and we may even be better off without it.The act of talking is cognitively demanding,and
omitting the words and phrases that signal politeness could make talking easier.AI assistants are
programmed to cooperate no matter how we ask,and sometimes being rude to them can actually
yield better performance,compared to polite requests.
Despite these apparent upsides of being rude to AI assistants,we should also consider the
potential downsides.When we turn our ideas into speech or writing,our brains tend to reuse words
and phrases that we've often said before.This recycling is so pervasive that it's reasonable that the
rude talking style for AI will get reused in future conversations with each other,kicking politeness
to the curb.
With AI being both praised and blamed for job loss,brain rot,and everything else these days,
should we bother adding politeness to the pile of worries?Yes,because of the essential role
politeness has in keeping us cooperating and keeping our society functioning.Politeness already
faces many other assaults()a reduction in face-to-face talking,inequality,and more.The
rudeness-inducing effects of talking to AI may push us further away from the civility and
cooperation that every society needs.
)36.According to paragraph 1,which of the following is most likely to be part of a human-AI
conversation?
A.Read this instruction file and document all the work.Do not skip steps.
B.You're taking too long.Would you mind sending the message now?
C.I would appreciate it if you could explain this problem to me.
D.Nothing like what I asked forl Why can't you ever understand me?
37.People become rude when talking to AI because.
A.AI assistants are designed to understand less polite commands better
B.AI has a negative impact on their life in the real world,such as job loss
C.this can simplify AI communication and add to its effectiveness
D.politeness prevents AI tools from carrying out certain tasks efficiently
38.What does the underlined phrase "kicking politeness to the curb"mean?
A.paying attention to politeness again
B.abandoning politeness completely
C.protecting politeness from outside influences D.balancing politeness and rudeness
39.What is the author's attitude towards the lack ot politeness in AI communication?
A.Strongly critical of disturbing future conversations.
B.Largely indifferent,for Al's programmed nature.
C.Cautiously concemed,for its social impact,
D.Generally supportive of improved efficiency.

The clock is ticking on Q-Day,the looming yet unknown date when quantum computing will
have the capacity to quickly and easily break the encryption keys (that keep most internet
communication safe.
Experts have known about Shor's algorithm since the 1990s.But Google recently
warned that quantum computers may be able to hack some encrypted systems by 2029-a timeline
that drastically narrows the window to safeguard data that many cybersecurity specialists had
previously predicted.The new estimate means that governments,companies and other entities may
have far less time to prepare.
"It's the day when people,perhaps adversaries,will have access to a quantum computer that
can break cryptographic codes that are in use,"said Michele Mosca,co-founder and CEO of
cybersecurity company evolutionQ.
Q-Day marks the moment a quantum computer gains enough resources and stability to crack
conventional cryptography.When that happens,every financial transaction,medical file,email,
location history and crypto wallet protected by today's commonly used algorithms could be
unlocked by a machine capable of solving the complex math that currently keeps sensitive data
secure.
At that game-changing turning point,"everything's safe-safe,safe-and then suddenly it's
not safe.It's a very drastic jump,"said Mosca,who is also a professor at the Institute for Quantum
6
Computing at the University of Waterloo in Ontario.
Adversaries and bad actors may already be collecting encrypted data,with the intention of
launching "harvest now,decrypt later"attacks.In this scenario,information is stolen,stored and
then decrypted when a full-scale quantum computer is available,he added.
Mosca has co-authored the Quantum Threat Timeline Report 2025,published by the Global
Risk Institute in Toronto,since 2019.The seventh edition,published March 9,auggested a full-scale,
cryptographically relevant quantum computer(CRQC)was "quite possible"within the next 10
years,and"likely"in the next 15.Mosca and his co-author based their prediction on the opinions
of 26 experts.
"Many organizations may be unaware that they are currently exposed to an intolerable level of
risk that requires urgent action,"the report authors wrote.
Google said on March 25 that it set 2029 as a timeline "to secure the quantum era"with
post-quantum cryptography.The timeline reflected advances in the quantum computing field,the
company said."By doing this,we hope to provide the clarity and urgency needed to accelerate
digital transitions not only for Google,but also across the industry,"it noted in a blog post.Similarly,
cloud computing services company CloudFlare announced it was targeting 2029 for full
post-quantum security.Google declined an interview request.
Quantum computing isn't simply a more powerful or faster version of the computers in use
today.This form of processing works in a fundamentally different way.
Unlike standard computers that process information sequentially using bits(0 or 1),quantum
computers employ quantum bits一“qubits”一that can represent o,1 or both simultaneously.
Known as superposition,this property enables quantum machines to hold and process more complex
information.
.43.What do we learn about Q-Day from the first two paragraphs?
A.It is a fixed date scheduled for the year 2029.
B.It shortens the working time of cybersecurity specialists.
C.Its arrival will be earlier than formerly expected.
D.It helps improve Shor's algorithm for data encryption.
44.What is the main idea of"harvest now,decrypt later"attacks?
A.Stealing encrypted data presently for future decoding.
B.Decoding sensitive data immediately after theft.
C.Collecting plain-text information for long-term storage.
D.Launching large-scale quantum attacks at present.
45.What can be inferred from the Ouantum Threat Timeline Report 2025?
A.All experts agree that CROC will come true within a decade
B.Most firms have taken effective measures against quantum threats.
C.The prediction is built on input from industry specialists.
D.Organizations suffer little risk before Q-Day actually arrives.
46.
Which of the following is TRUE about quantum computers?
A.They process information bit by bit in sequence.
B.Qubits can exist in more than one state at the same time.
C.They have already replaced traditional computers in cloud service.
D.Post-quantum cryptography has completely solved their security risk.

/A society becomes great not only through what it builds for the present,but through what it
preserves for the future.
B.In the United States,material wealth has increasingly become a measure of national success.
C However,as painful as it is to admit,this is not entirely the case.
D.Still,it demonstrates the importance of long-term environmental planning.
R.Bnvironmental concerns have been incorporated into China's constitution and national
development goals.
P.Every generation inberits a world it did not create and becomes responsible for what it passes
on.
If you live in or visit China,you will see firsthand evidence of ecological civilization in practice.
From bus stops to apartment complexes,there are reminders to keep China green.
One of the most widely recognized examples of ecological progress in China is the "Great
Green Wall",which aims to slow and reverse desert expansion across northern China.Through
decades of large-scale tree planting and land management,the project has become a symbol of
Chinese environmental governance.Like any project of this size,it has faced challenges,including
concerns about water use and the suitability of certain tree species.47
As a member of Gen Z,I have a personal interest in global ecology because today's
environmental decisions will shape the conditions in which my generation must live.
48
Environmental stewardship is therefore not only a political or
economic concern,but also a moral obligation between generations.
Growing up in the US,ecological sustainability was part of my elementary school education
Reminders to recycle,turn off the lights when leaving home,or donate a dollar to charity while
buying coffee were common.It would be logical to conclude that,given this education,the country's
natural beauty and strong rural culture,the US would be a global leader in ecological sustainability.
49
The US is responsible for more cumulative carbon dioxide
emissions than any other country,and its emissions per person remain among the highest in the
world.Although efforts have been made to develop sustainable energy,recent federal policies have
also sought to reverse or weaken some environmental protections.
I hope that in the future,Americans can better understand that prosperity is not isolated,but
shared among individuals,communities and people across the world.I also hope that American
leadership can learn from the farsighted,long-term approach emphasized in Chinese governance,
while recognizing that every country,including China,still faces serious environmental challenges
of its own.That vision returns us to the image of planting trees today so that others may one day sit
in their shade.

51.
Hundreds of years ago Peruvian fishermen noticed that,every few years,the anchovies(
)in the equatorial Pacific Ocean would vanish.Since the disappearances happened around
Christmas,they named the event after el nifto Jesus-"the Christ child".These days,the
phenomenon,known simply as El Nifo,is recognised as a recurring climatic pattern that alters the
weather all over the world.It causes droughts in some places,heavy rain in others,heatwaves,
wildfires and a general warming of the planet.
The strength of any particular El Nifo is measured by how much warmer the water gets.
Anything above a 2C rise over the long-run average is considered strong.Forecasts from most of
the world's medellers fer the rest ef this year and the first couple of months of 2027 suggest a rise
in sea-surtace temperatures of more than 2.5C-and perhaps even 3C.That would be
unprecedented in the 75 years for which scientists have been keeping records.
El Nifo is not caused by climate change.But the two phenomena amplify each other's effects.
A strong El Nifto in 2015-16 made the temperatures in 2016 up more than 1C.The current record
holder is 2024,when temperatures were 1.55C higher than the pre-industrial average.Climate
modellers think 2027 could be hotter still.
When it comes to countries and continents,El Nifio's effects are more variable.Droughts dried
crops and pasture lands,leaving millions hungry and many forced to migrate in search of food
Worse still,a possible heavy rainfall after a long drought can cause floods,because water cannot
sink fast enough into parched soil.
The European Commission has warned of humanitarian disasters in African countries and
suggested that there are ways to relieve the impact:planting drought-tolerant seeds,for instance,or
storing fodder and water for livestock.But the time to start is now.
