B A Great Oak Table — plus accompanying benches capable of seating 60 comes after locals raised £22,555 to transform a 500-year-old oak tree that fell in a storm 15 years ago into what they believe is the longest table ever to be crafted from a single oak tree. The project is the brainchild of Elizabeth — Jane Baldry, a local harpist who bought the spot — then poor quality former agricultural land 18 years ago. She named it Pigwiggen Wood, and with the help of her two sons, has since turned it into a wildlife refuge. The dream to crown the space with a grand oak table was a longstanding one, Baldry told Positive News: “The Tudor oak came from an old estate in mid-Devon,” she said. “Five hundred years in the growing and 500 years preserved as a table in a Devon wood, a place where people can gather to share food, friendship and lively conversation.” Many of the comments from people who supported the crowd funding campaign brought tears to Baldry’s eyes. “Some people donated from across the oceans, and even though it’s unlikely that they will ever sit at the table, they said they’d donated because just knowing the Great Oak Table existed made them feel better about the world,” she said. “Over and over again the word ‘magical’ came up, an indication I think that we’re all so hungry for enchantment and a sense of belonging.” And now there are all the stories still to come, Baldry added: “the midsummer feasts, the bowls of steaming soup cooked over the fire on winter days, the children drawing and making things, the parish picnics, and the essential quiet days when visitors can simply relax and soak up the magic.” 24. What is special about the Great Oak Table? A. It is made from a rare type of oak. B. It is the most extensive single-oak table. C. Its benches have a seating capacity of 18. D. It is located in a significant agricultural land. 25. What can be inferred about the donors to the crowd funding campaign? A. They were hungry for the midsummer feasts. B. They were preserving ancient crafting techniques. C. They valued the symbolic meaning of the project. D. They have experienced the joy of sitting at the table. 26. How does Baldry envision the table’s future role? A. A temporary attraction for tourists. B. A symbol of personal achievement. C. A useful tool for cooking purposes. D. A lasting place for shared connections. 27. What can we learn from the text? A. Tradition ends where modern ambition begins. B. Silent forests hold secrets beyond our understanding. C. Magic blossoms when people unite to preserve heritage. D. Beauty in nature fades quickly if left without a watchful eye. C Young mice seemingly attempt to awaken an anaesthetized (被麻醉的) cage mate by cleaning, pawing and even pulling aside the tongue to clear its airway. Li Zhang at the University of Southern California and his colleagues filmed laboratory mice presented with a familiar cage mate that was either active or unconscious. Over several tests, mice devoted about 47 percent of a 13-minute observation period interacting with their unconscious partner. According to Zhang, “They start with sniffing and then very intensive interaction,” including licking the eyes, biting around the mouth, and pulling out the tongue in more than 50 percent of cases. In a separate test, researchers placed a plastic ball in the mouth of the unconscious mouse, and in 80 percent of cases, the helping mice successfully removed the object. Team member Huizhong Tao believes extending the observation period could achieve an even higher success rate. Furthermore, mice that received caregiving woke up and started walking sooner compared to those that were left unattended. Once the unconscious mouse started moving, the caregiving mice reduced and then ceased their assistance. Zhang notes that the observed behaviour is not analogous to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) which requires specialist training. Instead, it looks like using strong-smelling salts or basic first aid to ensure breathing. Zhang’s team found that these caregiving behaviours are driven by oxytocin (催产素)-releasing cells located in the brain, consistent with oxytocin’s known role in caregiving behaviours across vertebrates (脊椎动物). Two other research teams have recently reported similar behaviours, supporting the reliability of these findings. Cristina Márquez at the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology in Coimbra, acknowledges the findings’ accuracy but cautions against seeing animals act like humans or attributing intentions beyond observed actions. Zhang suggests the behaviour is likely natural, as tested mice were just 2 to 3 months old and had not previously experienced such scenarios. He suggests that this natural caregiving may enhance group unity and could be more widespread among social animals than previously recognised. 28. What is the main focus of the first paragraph? A. The training of mice to help companions in danger. B. The behaviours of mice helping unconscious partners. C. The percentage of mice avoiding interaction in cages. D. The activity level of mice toward their familiar mates. 29. When would helping mice stop giving care behaviours according to paragraph 2? A. When the research observation time ended. B. When unconscious mice showed no response. C. When unconscious mice began moving again. D. When the plastic ball was successfully removed. 30. What does the underlined word “analogous” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Similar. B. Opposite. C. Unrelated. D. Beneficial. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Mice and Medicine: Advanced Rescue Skills B. The Role of Training in Animal Rescue Behaviours C. Differences Between Wild Mice and Laboratory Mice D. First Aid by Mice: A Study of Natural Social Behaviour D “I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing,” Joanna once said — and while the Poetry Camera goes against that very statement, it’s a perfect representation of how technology can help foster art between humans and AI. The Poetry Camera isn’t your average handheld instant shooter. Sure, it has a lens, and a shutter button, and it prints out stuff — but unlike Polaroid that prints pictures out on film, the Poetry Camera captures a scene, identifies its elements, and then uses AI to make a beautiful poem based on what the camera clicked. Essentially, the Poetry Camera runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 chip, with a Camera Module 3 connected to an Adafruit Mini Thermal Printer. Connection to OpenAI’s API allows the camera to feed AI images, and have it generate poetry as a result. The setup is fairly simple and it all fits inside this adorable 3D-printed case with just two controls — a shutter button for clicking the photo, and a knob (旋钮) that lets you adjust the number of verses you want. In a way, think of it as an exposure knob that gives the AI more space to see smaller details and the AI can create longer poems with more depth. The Poetry Camera is a pet project for now, as Kelin and Ryan aren’t preparing for mass production. Limited drops of the camera will be available to people who sign up for the newsletter on the website, although the price is unknown at the moment. This is far from the first time we’ve seen AI make its way into camera projects. Back in 2018, Dan Macnish created a camera that draws what it sees, while in 2023, we got the Paragraphica–a lens-less camera that used location and time data to generate AI images. The Poetry Camera is, in ways, similar to the Paragraphica in the sense that it uses an AI to generate something new. While Paragraphica did make images, like cameras are supposed to, the Poetry Camera turns scenes into poems, and if this is what the AI uprising will look like, count me in! 32. How is the Poetry Camera different from a Polaroid camera? A. It uses film to print photos. B. It focuses on capturing scenery. C. It helps humans with housework. D. It generates poems instead of photos. 33. What does the knob on the Poetry Camera control? A. The length of the printed poem. B. The speed of capturing images. C. The size of the printed photo. D. The connection to OpenAI 34. In what way will the Poetry Camera be offered to buyers? A. It will be sold globally at a low price. B. It will have limited availability at first. C. Mass sales plans are already in progress. D. There will be no restrictions on its purchase. 35. Why does the author mention the Paragraphica in the last paragraph? A. To state the overuse of AI for replacing human creativity. B. To suggest that Paragraphica stands above Poetry Camera. C. To illustrate a trend of combining AI with artistic creation. D. To emphasize the Poetry Camera’s uniqueness in creating images. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many high school seniors approach the college application essay with anxiety. They feel their lives are too ordinary to create a story that will impress admissions officers. (36) ________ It just needs to be a genuine reflection of their personal growth, drawn from everyday moments. I once worked with a boy who had no idea what to write about. Family? Favorite subject? He kept silent until I suggested, “Hobbies?” He shyly said, “I like boxing.” Then his essay unfolded, not about boxing itself, but about self-discipline and resilience (坚韧), qualities that any college would admire. So look into the things that shape you. (37) ________ Some students try to catch attention by writing their essays in unconventional forms, such as a poem or a play. Most still follow the traditional storytelling model: a hook (引子), a story, and a lesson learned. (38) ________ For example, the rough edges and the pleasant smell of her father’s handmade furniture inspired one girl to become an engineer. The magic is in the details and emotional depth. As a writing tutor, I was hung up on language rules at first. Should I help my students stick to “standard English,” or let them write the way they naturally speak — even if that includes informal expressions? (39) ________ It’s also about expressing ideas naturally and making connections with readers. It doesn’t hurt to tell a humorous childhood incident in a light, conversational tone. (40) ________ Essay writing teaches students to express themselves with precision through rethinking ideas, refining language, and rewriting drafts. With multiple edits, they will uncover deeper insights and create a story only they can tell. A. After all, I preferred a formal writing style. B. A great essay eventually takes form in revision. C. I soon realized writing isn’t just about language. D. That’s why they try to make up appealing stories. E. Whatever the form, an essay stands out for its story. F. Once a topic clicks, the essay practically writes itself. G. But a powerful essay doesn’t require a dramatic story. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Helen Cowan was sitting in the garden one evening when she heard a loud crash.

As food delivery is extremely common in China, it creates large amounts of waste due to the plastic containers, bags, and chopsticks that come with each order. This in turn has contributed to great environmental concerns for the waste packaging materials. We have therefore measured the amount of food delivery packaging waste in China. The results show that the total amount of packaging waste rose from 0.2 million metric tons in 2015 to 1.5 million metric tons in 2020. Over-packaging is also a concern. The food delivery packaging is not the fancier, the better. Instead, it is the more environment-friendly, the better. Therefore, it is high time that regulations were adopted to stop restaurants and companies from spending too much on unnecessary packaging and wrapping. Also, smart policy suggestions should be provided to handle the pressing issues, particularly using the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle environment-friendly practices. As the largest city in China, Shanghai has an important role in creating and seeking an efficient solution to the problem of waste. With over 24 million people living in Shanghai, materials sustainability (可持续性), particularly that of plastics, is a big problem. For example, delivery companies like Saucepan have begun to reduce the plastic usage of the food delivery in Shanghai by using biodegradable (可降解的) packaging in the delivery process. Besides, it encourages customers to recycle their plastic bags and reward them for every 10 used bags that they return to the company. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
