There, they often met a homeless man named Matt Faris, who would frequently shout on the street corner, sometimes disturbing their sleep. Initially, Peterson had no interaction with Faris, but everything changed after reading the book Love Does, which emphasized the power of love in action. Inspired by the book, Peterson decided to introduce himself to Faris. In their first conversation, Peterson learned that Faris had moved to Southern California from Kentucky in pursuit of a music career but had fallen on hard times, living on the streets for over a decade. Despite Faris’s rough appearance, Peterson saw beauty in him and felt forced to paint his portrait, even though he hadn’t picked up a paintbrush in eight years. Faris agreed, marking the start of a transformative project. So Peterson went to establish Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization committed to painting portraits of unhoused individuals in the community. He captures each subject’s personality through colors and then sells the portraits, splitting the earnings with the subject. Half of the funds are placed in a “love account”, which helps them to address their personal needs. nevertheless, Peterson learned the importance of asking people directly how they wanted to use the money rather than assuming what they need most. For example, Faris used the funds from his portrait to record an album, while another subject, Kimberly Sondoval, used the money to help pay her daughter’s rent. Over the years, Peterson’s project expanded, leading him to found Faces of Mankind, where artists nationwide paint portraits of the homeless. To date, Peterson has personally painted 41 portraits. His work not only provides financial assistance but also facilitates understanding and connection between the buyers and the subjects, with many buyers befriending the individuals they initially overlooked. Peterson hopes his work will continue to change how people perceive the homeless. 24. What inspired Brian Peterson to approach Matt Faris? A. He saw Faris had artistic talent. B. He read a book about love in action. C. He wanted to complain about Faris’s shouting. D. He intended to found a nonprofit organization. 25. How does Brian Peterson deal with the money he earns from selling the portraits? A. He donates it to charities. B. He uses it to expand his project. C. He sponsors the homeless to buy art supplies. D. He keeps half and gives the other half to his subjects. 26. What is true about Peterson in Paragraph 3? A. He believes in giving without accepting. B. He prefers to decide how the money should be spent. C. He helps people based on their personal needs. D. He funds them to develop art-related projects. 27. What would be the best title for this passage? A. Painting for Homeless B. Art Can Cure Homelessness C. The Story of Matt Faris D. Selling Portraits for Charity C For centuries, quino checkerspot butterflies have done well in the bushy landscapes of Southern California and Mexico. These medium-sized butterflies, distinguished by their vibrant red, black, and white checked wings, rely on the dwarf plantain (矮车前草) as their primary host plant. Unlike humans, who taste with their tongues, female quinos use their forelegs to taste and identify this plant for egg-laying. After hatching, the caterpillars feed on the dwarf plantain until the dry summer heat causes the plants to dry up and die. Faced with a lack of food, the caterpillars enter diapause until rain returns, allowing them to survive severe dry conditions. When winter rains arrive, they restart feeding, form a chrysalis, and eventually transform into adult butterflies. However, climate change poses significant challenges. Rising temperatures lead to increasing drought, damaging the dwarf plantain that caterpillars depend on. Meanwhile, cities like Los Angeles and San Diego are also moving into the butterflies’ hills. Houses, highways, and shopping malls are taking over the meadows where the dwarf plantain and other wildflowers grow. But before the conservationists could make a plan, the quinos moved themselves! Some populations have migrated to the foothills east of Temecula, California, where rising temperatures have created favorable conditions. Here, they have adopted the purple Collinsia as a new host plant, with their caterpillars thriving on it. This rapid adaptation has fascinated scientists, suggesting that other species may similarly adjust to climate change in unexpected ways. Evidence from Europe supports this, with 35 butterfly species relocating to new areas in response to shifting climates and plant distributions. Still, many scientists worry that climate change is happening too quickly for many species to adjust. And what happens when one threatened species moves into the living area of another? What if they both want the same food? Who gets to stay? The quino butterflies are safe in their new home — for now. Computer models predict that if the world keeps warming, in 40 years the new hills may also be too dry for butterflies. 28. Which of the following is true about the quinos? A. They can be identified by their wings. B. The adult quinos feed on dwarf plantain. C. They pick egg-laying plants with tongues. D. They prefer thick forests to bushy landscapes. 29. What does the underlined word “diapause” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. A feeding phase (阶段). B. A growing phase. C. A resting phase. D. A reproductive phase. 30. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A. Quinos exhibit quick adaptability to environment. B. The rising temperature is favourable to the new host plant. C. Scientists had anticipated the quino migration and made plans. D. All butterflies are able to relocate in response to climate change. 31. What do the questions in the last paragraph imply? A. Concern on proper food supply. B. The principle of survival of the fittest. C. Scientists’ uncertainty about the future of quino butterflies. D. Potential conflicts among species over food in the shared habitat. D A recent robot sports competition showed humanoid robots running, falling, getting up, and continuing to the finish line. This event reflects the current state of AI and has raised public awareness. At the same time, rising AI stock (股票) prices show that investors are optimistic about its future. In China, using AI in work and daily life has become a national goal. Last month, the State Council released a plan for the “AI+” initiative. This plan aims to bring AI into all industries over 10 years, in three stages, to construct new smart economic and social systems. A survey indicates that 53.1% of people are excited about AI, 26% are pleasantly surprised, and 11% feel negative. This optimism comes from the belief that AI will transform life just like mobile internet did. This is similar to the success of China’s “Internet+” plan over the past ten years, which helped improve industries and people’s lives. However, AI also brings worries. Some fear that AI “silicon (硅)-based workers” might take human jobs, and that relying too much on AI could weaken human thinking skills. Research from MIT revealed that people who use AI a lot have weaker brain connections. Other current problems include “black boxes” (when AI gives unpredictable results because it learns from data) and “model hallucinations” (when AI gives wrong answers based on untested data). Although some people are worried, this will not stop AI from moving forward. As an important area in global competition, AI’s development is certain. The “AI+” plan also focuses on safety and includes rules to prevent misuse. Like other major new technologies in the past, AI will need time to improve. Experts say today’s problems will help the industry become more careful and lead to crucial breakthroughs in the future. 32. What is the main goal of China’s “AI+” initiative mentioned in the text? A. To reduce the price of AI stocks. B. To combine AI with all industries. C. To stop people from using AI in daily life. D. To make AI robots win all sports competitions. 33. Why are many people optimistic about AI? A. Because they think AI will change life. B. Because AI will replace all human jobs. C. Because AI can solve all health problems. D. Because AI robots are faster than humans. 34. What does the underlined phrase “model hallucinations” mean? A. AI robots making errors during tasks. B. Weaker brain connections in AI users. C. AI mistakes caused by unproven data. D. Unpredictable results from AI learning from data. 35. What is the author’s attitude toward AI’s future? A. Totally indifferent, ignoring AI. B. Fully negative, fearing job losses. C. Deeply doubtful, questioning AI’s value. D. Cautiously hopeful, balancing risks and progress. 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。 How to Stay Focused While Studying Staying focused while studying can be a challenge for many students. With so many distractions around, it’s easy to lose concentration and waste valuable time. 36 However, with the right strategies, you can improve your focus and make your study sessions more productive. Create a Devoted Study Space Having a specific place for studying helps your brain connect that space with learning. This can make it easier to get into the right mindset and avoid distractions. 37 A tidy workspace reduces stress and helps you find what you need quickly. Put your phone on silent and keep unrelated items away from your desk to minimize distractions. Set Clear Goals and Time Limits Knowing exactly what you want to achieve in a study session keeps you on track. Breaking your work into smaller tasks makes it feel more manageable. 38 Write down the topics or assignments you need to complete as a to-do list. Try the Pomodoro Technique (番茄工作法) by studying for 25 minutes, then taking a 5-minute break. Reward yourself after completing a task to stay motivated. 39 Studying for long hours without a break can lead to burnout. Short breaks help refresh your mind and improve concentration when you return to your work. Stretch (拉伸), walk around, or do a quick exercise to boost blood flow. Drink water or have a healthy snack to keep your energy up. Give your eyes a rest by looking away from digital devices during breaks.

Mom insisted that she had followed the pattern exactly. I sighed and looked back at the mirror. Somehow Mom had convinced me to do a play in this summer. So here I was about to play the Fish Footman in the local community theater production of Alice in Wonderland. It didn’t exactly fill me with confidence. “Well, there’s no turning back now,” Mom said, “Tomorrow is your opening night.” “What if…” I hesitated. “What if I forget my lines? And I don’t think this costume is right.” Mom gave me a knowing smile and pulled me in for a fierce hug, “You are the best actor on that stage, whether you’re wearing a fish tail or not. I know you’ve been rehearsing (排练) for two months; you were the first off-book in your scene, and I couldn’t be prouder of you.” Despite her words, I still felt a knot in my stomach as the hour of opening night drew near. The next day, Mom led me to the back of the auditorium, where children in various costumes were chatting merrily. I shrank inside myself, but Mom pulled me toward the makeup table. In a moment, it was done. My jaw dropped as I saw my green cheeks and brilliant blue lips. “Mom, I can’t go out on stage like this!” I cried, “I’d be a laughingstock (笑柄)!” She comforted me that I was not the only one in an odd costume and dismissed the idea of escape from my mind. With no other options, I sat alone as the play began. I looked in horror at the vague figures onstage. The audience’s laughter seemed to come from miles underwater— ironic (讽刺的), given I was supposed to be a fish. My only thought was soon it would be me in the spotlight. The stage manager said something to me. I nodded blankly in response and turned to face the music as the light dimmed and tune came on to accompany the scene change. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 I knew it was my time to enter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Determined to leave a lasting impression, I poured my emotions into the performance. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
