As the chief researcher at the China Academy of Railway Sciences, she took the lead in developing the 12306 railway ticketing system — a true technological wonder that has redefined how Chinese people book train tickets. Every year, this system handles an astonishing number of billions of ticket inquiries and trades. Its value becomes even more evident during the Spring Festival travel rush, the world’s largest annual human migration, when hundreds of millions of people travel across the country to reunite with their families. Beyond the ticketing platform, Shan also pioneered electronic ticket technology, leading the “paperless travel” era for China’s railways. This revolutionary change shortened the average ticket-checking time by two-thirds, greatly improving travel efficiency and bringing unprecedented (前所未有的) convenience to passengers. In 2024, in recognition of her outstanding contributions to building a strong transportation nation, she was honored with the highly respected “Model of the Times” title by the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee. Her extraordinary work not only solved the long-standing problem of difficult ticket purchase (购买) that had troubled Chinese travelers for years but also set a global standard for large-scale public service information systems. Shan’s determined commitment to using technology to serve the people makes her an inspiring role model, especially for young people who dream of becoming engineers and making a positive impact on society. 24. What do we know about Shan Xinghua in the first two paragraphs? A. She donated money to build 12306. B. She first proposed the idea of 12306. C. She offered passengers cheaper tickets from 12306. D. She led the development and improvement of 12306. 25. What benefit does the electronic ticket technology bring? A. It helps analyze customers’ travelling habits. B. It cuts the average ticket-checking time by half. C. It improves travel efficiency and brings convenience. D. It makes the Spring Festival travel much more interesting. 26. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The trouble Chinese travelers faced in purchasing tickets. B. The global standard for large-scale public service systems. C. The personal life and family background of Shan Xinghua. D. The significance of Shan’s work and her role as an inspiration. 27. Which words can best describe Shan Xinghua? A. Brave and generous. B. Creative and determined. C. Ambitious and honest. D. Optimistic and cautious. C On paper, hydrogen (氢气) looks like a dream fuel. In practice, things are trickier. Storing meaningful quantities of hydrogen gas requires compressing (压缩) it several hundred times. Transforming it into a liquid state is another option, but one that requires cooling the stuff to −253°C. Either process requires rugged tanks. Over time, hydrogen gas can pass slowly into metals, weakening them and potentially causing damage. Tanks must be built from special materials designed to avoid this breakdown. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute led by Marcus Vogt think that supplying hydrogen in paste form (糊状) offers a way around some of its limitations. They have been experimenting with a chemical compound (化合物) that can be pumped into a container and then persuaded to give off its hydrogen on demand. Their invention, which they nickname “powerpaste”, looks like toothpaste. Its main ingredient is magnesium hydride, a compound that when introduced to water, reacts with it to form hydrogen and magnesium hydroxide. The escaped hydrogen can then be redirected into a fuel container, where it reacts with oxygen from the air to generate electric power. The magnesium hydroxide waste is emptied from the reactor by itself. Dr Vogt’s invention offers several advantages over batteries, petrol and more traditional ways of handling hydrogen. One is that it can store more energy per litre and per kilogram than batteries or petrol. A second is ease of refilling, which is simply a matter of replacing an empty container of paste with a full one, and topping up the water, which is stored in a separate tank. A third advantage is that unlike a battery, the paste does not gradually lose its stored energy if it is left on the shelf. Moreover, the paste itself is harmless, and so are the reaction’s by-products. But there are still more to work through. Magnesium hydride reacts only slowly with water. To address this, Dr Vogt and his team have found a chemical additive that greatly speeds up the reaction. They have also found a way to ensure that the reaction can be controlled to supply only as much hydrogen as is needed at any given moment. 28. What does the underline word “rugged” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Small. B. Delicate. C. Tough. D. Huge. 29. What can we know about the invention according to paragraph 3? A. Water and electricity are necessary in the process. B. Several chemical reactions occur in the same tank. C. The remaining waste needs removing with extra help. D. Magnesium hydride reacts with water to release hydrogen. 30. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed? A. By quoting sayings. B. By drawing comparisons. C. By providing examples. D. By explaining a theory. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. “Toothpaste” in Your Tank B. Hydrogen: Fuel of Fantasy C. The Green Fuel of Tomorrow D. Paste That Powers the World D In 1915, Albert Einstein stood before the Prussian Academy of Sciences and presented the equations (方程) of general theory of relativity. Today, Einstein and relativity are seen as symbols of genius. However, when he first showed his ideas, other scientists did not care much about them. Part of the reason was that the theory was too radical (全新的) for them to fully understand. A century later, technology companies use genius to describe artificial intelligence. Some predict “superintelligent” systems that will outperform experts in most fields and work like “a country of geniuses in a datacenter”. Yet such claims often come with little evidence. Intelligence is difficult to define, and genius is even harder to recognize before its effects become clear. However, there is one field where this prediction seems to be coming true: math. Recent AI systems have made rapid progress on difficult problems. One AI-assisted study even showed that a mathematical conjecture (猜想) made 80 years earlier was false. Such achievements have filled mathematicians with both wonder and concern. If machines can move so quickly in a field built on proof, it is easy to imagine them racing ahead alone. In fact, AI’s mathematical successes show how vital human experts remain. A result becomes believable only when mathematicians examine it and decide that it holds. Researchers are also using ideas produced by AI to make progress on other problems. Machines may generate possibilities, but people still test them, connect them with existing knowledge and decide which ones are worth pursuing. The real value of AI may not lie in replacing human genius, but in working alongside it. This may sound less dramatic than the future promised by technology companies, yet it is close to how genius has always worked. Einstein’s equations had their full impact only after other scientists applied them to the universe, helping predict black holes and an expanding universe. Great ideas may appear in a moment; turning them into knowledge is a shared scientific process. 32. Why does the author mention Einstein in paragraph 1? A. To support a claim. B. To present a theory. C. To introduce a topic. D. To illustrate a concept. 33. What does the author think of the companies’ claims about AI? A. They sound persuasive. B. They lack solid evidence. C. They cause experts’ panic. D. They rest on clear measures. 34. What can be inferred about AI’s role in math? A. It has made human experts less essential in research. B. It has proven the arrival of superintelligence in math. C. It serves mainly to test existing mathematical theories. D. It acts as a partner to experts rather than a replacement. 35. What is the author’s attitude toward AI in mathematics? A. Uninterested. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Uncaring. 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。 The rapid progress of technology means that ideas that once appeared in films are gradually becoming realities. 36 Seeing them smoothly deliver food has been a reality in the service industry. Robot waiters are automated (自动化的) machines that are designed to copy the role of waiters as much as possible. At present, the function of robot waiters is generally limited to delivering food and removing dirty dishes. 37 They hope one day robot waiters can effectively remove the need for human front-of-house staff members. 38 Robot waiters can work full days without the need to take a break. One popular machine, Bellabot, can be rented for as little as $1,215 a month, making it a much cheaper replacement for a human worker even at the lowest pay rate. As to their basic functions, robot waiters are often capable of greeting customers, with some having a screen like a face. They use self-driving technology to find the way. Now most robot waiters operate on wheels. 39 Some producers of robot waiters argue that their products are not designed to replace human workers at all. Instead, they take care of less significant tasks, allowing workers to focus on human-to-human communication with customers. 40 One Florida restaurant chain even claimed that the staff received even bigger tips once they began using a robot waiter as they had more time to speak to and connect with customers. A. One familiar example is the wide use of smart robots. B. Steps have been taken to make some robot waiters less cold. C. So stairs and outdoor areas can still represent major challenges. D. However, companies are working to develop the abilities of robots. E. They are able to work endlessly for as long as their battery life allows. F. Naturally, robot waiters are an attractive option for some business owners. G. This change can benefit human workers by improving their service quality. 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） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Tanmay Bakshi, born in 2003 to Indian immigrant parents in Canada, developed programming (编程) skills from an early age.

She loved English and had always been at the top of her class in written exams, but speaking in front of others was her greatest fear. This year, to her own surprise, she had made it to the final of the school’s English speech competition. The topic was “The Power of Friendship,” which made her think immediately of Wang Lei. Li Yue had spent weeks preparing, writing, and rewriting her speech with the help of her best friend, Wang Lei. Wang Lei had always been her biggest supporter. He had practiced with her for many hours, patiently listening and giving suggestions. Whenever Li Yue felt nervous or looked unsure, he would smile and say, “Believe in yourself — you’re fully prepared.” Those words encouraged her a lot. Standing backstage, Li Yue’s heart was beating quickly and loudly. She could feel her hands getting sweaty. She looked through the curtain secretly and saw a large audience. Then she saw her main competitor, Sun Qian, walking off the stage with a confident smile, and receiving loud applause (掌声). The sound felt like a wave of pressure crashing over her. Suddenly, Li Yue’s confidence disappeared. Her hands started to shake uncontrollably, her mind going blank. “What if I forget everything? What if they laugh at me? What if I disappoint Wang Lei after all his help?” she thought, fear rising inside her. She took a deep breath, but it did little to calm her. Just then, the host’s voice rang through the speakers, “And now, let’s welcome our next contestant (参赛选手), Li Yue!” 注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Li Yue slowly walked onto the stage. Taking a deep breath, Li Yue calmed down quickly. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
