Planted 1 in the armchair, she had no alternative but to “travel” via the travel program on TV. I 2 the sadness and thought hard. It finally hit me that I could ask strangers on the internet for help. I 3 the post: My Nanny has cancer and she will never see the world. Please send her postcards so she can see the world from her armchair. I can offer nothing but gratitude. I was 4 not to breathe a word of this; should nothing come, I couldn’t bear to carry her disappointment along with my own. Days turned to weeks and Nanny’s health declined rapidly, my suffering growing unbearable. Finally, about six weeks after my post, a dog-eared, travel-worn postcard from UK wandered into our humble little letterbox. It was to me a ray of light and from that day, our letterbox became the 5 for postcards from all over the world and a hotel, 6 travel-weary cards. My dream of armchair travels became a reality. In the months that followed, thanks to those cards, my Nanny had a private “flight” to board, travelling far and wide, satisfied and 7 . Cancer could not stop us. Our very last flight 8 on a warm morning. My dearest travel companion bought a different ticket for this trip and began to explore another world. I have 9 from great loss, knowing that her journey ahead would be a brilliant one with so many 10 from the strangers. 1. A. calmly B. anxiously C. steadily D. helplessly 2.

Once we recognize our ability to focus as vulnerable, we should see its protection as a priority. A very simple tip 11 works well during meetings or before exams is keeping our mobile phones in another room. Besides, a book 12 (understand) in depth is the one to be read slowly. Only by slowing the flow of information can we absorb it 13 (true) rather than merely skim it. B In July 2026, Chinese mathematicians Deng Yu and Wang Hong 14 (make) history at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia. They became the first Chinese nationals 15 (win) the Fields Medal. By the time they were honored, both scholars 16 (lay) a solid academic foundation at Peking University and completed their overseas doctoral studies. The historic achievement received worldwide congratulations, with renowned mathematicians 17 (praise) it as proof of China’s growing leadership in the discipline. C In recent years, city walks 18 (grow) especially popular among young people. A city walk is slow, peaceful, and full of discovery. City walkers don’t follow strict checklists — they walk freely through neighborhoods, guided by curiosity. City walks give people a chance to reunite 19 the city they live in. They might stop at a small café for coffee, listen to street musicians, or take photos of interesting street art. City walks help you experience a city through its sounds, smells, and people. You may meet friendly locals, discover hidden bookshops, or notice 20 sunlight changes the look of old buildings. The focus is less on sightseeing but more on feeling the spirit of a place. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，38分） 第一节（共14小题；每小题2分，共28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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A GRANDPARENTS WILL LOVE THESE GADGETS Grandparents deserve the finer things in life.

I was not going out, and my slippers were much more comfortable. But something had to be done. I wanted a subject for an article. Now if you are accustomed to writing articles for a living, you will know that sometimes the difficulty is not writing the article, but choosing a subject. It is not poverty you suffer from, but an embarrassment of riches. But what has this to do with putting on my boots? It is a reasonable question and I will tell you. For an hour I had paced my room in my slippers in search of a subject. I had looked out of the window over the sunlit valley, and watched the smoke of a distant train disappearing towards the west. I had sharpened every pencil I had on me with great care. But the more I sharpened my pencils, the more anxious I grew about the theme for an article. It was at this moment that I remembered my boots. The act of bending my body changed the current of the blood. You saw things in a new light. So I fetched my boots and sat down to put them on. The thing worked like a charm. For in my preoccupied condition I picked up my right boot first. Then mechanically I put it down and seized the left boot. And then the fact flashed on me that all my life I had been putting on my left boot first. If you had asked me five minutes before which boot I put on first, I should have said that there was no first about it; yet now I found I was in a habit so fixed that the attempt to put on my right boot first affected me. The thing couldn’t be done. And then came into my mind that fascinating book of Samuel Butler’s on Life and Habit. Yes, certainly, here was a subject that would “go”. I took out a pencil, seized some writing paper, and sat down to write on “The Force of Habit.” 24. By “It is not poverty you suffer from, but an embarrassment of riches.” in paragraph 1, the author means _________. A. some subjects are too complicated or embarrassing to write on B. poverty is no longer a problem nowadays but embarrassment is C. there’re so many subjects that it’s hard to decide which to choose D. poor people don’t encounter as many embarrassments as the rich 25. Why did the author sharpen his pencils with great care? A. To help himself promote thinking. B. To write his article more smoothly. C. To draw what he saw out of the window. D. To relieve himself of anxiety about writing. 26. Putting on the boots helped the author ________. A. free his preoccupied mind B. see things from a new angle C. get rid of his fixed habit D. lower his blood pressure 27. The passage is mainly about the author’s ________. A. personal attitude towards habits B. writing process of a special article C. daily routines as a professional writer D. decision making on the theme for an article C Many early approaches to language technology — and particularly translation — got stuck in a conceptual dead end: the rules-based approach. In translation, this meant trying to write rules to analyze the text of a sentence in the language of origin, breaking it down into a sort of abstract “interlanguage” and rebuilding it according to the rules of the target language. These approaches showed early promise. But language is full of ambiguities (歧义) and exceptions, so such systems were hugely complicated and easily broke down when tested on sentences beyond the simple set they had been designed for. Nearly all language technologies began to get a lot better with the application of statistical methods, often called a “brute force” approach. This relies on software scanning vast amounts of data, looking for patterns and learning from precedent. For example, in parsing language (breaking it down into its grammatical components), the software learns from large bodies of text that have already been parsed by humans. It uses what it has learned to make its best guess about a previously unseen text. In machine translation, the software scans millions of words already translated by humans, again looking for patterns. In speech recognition, the software learns from a body of recordings and the transcriptions made by humans. Thanks to the growing power of processors, falling prices for data storage and, most crucially, the explosion in available data, this approach eventually bore fruit. Mathematical techniques that had been known for decades came into their own, and big companies with access to enormous amounts of data were ready to benefit. The final advance, which began only about five years ago, came with the arrival of deep learning through digital neural networks (DNNs). These are often claimed to have qualities similar to those of the human brain: “neurons” are connected in software, and connections can become stronger or weaker in the process of learning. But Nils Lenke, head of research for a language technology company, explains matter-of-factly that “DNNs are just another kind of mathematical model, the basis of which had been well understood for decades. What changed was the hardware being used.” Almost by chance, DNN researchers discovered that the graphical processing units (GPUs) used to produce graphics in applications like video games were also brilliant at handling neural networks. The technique has already produced big leaps in quality for all kinds of deep learning including decoding handwriting, recognizing faces and classifying images. Now they are helping to improve all manner of language technologies, often bringing enhancements of up to 30%. That has shifted language technology from usable at a pinch to really rather good. But so far no one has quite worked out what will move it on from merely good to reliably great. 28. According to the passage, what is a problem of the rules-based approach? A. Languages are rather difficult to break down. B. There are always rules too abstract to understand. C. Rules are complicated to identify in some languages. D. Rules aren’t always clear-cut or universally applicable. 29. Which of the following is Nils Lenke most likely to agree with about DNNs? A. They haven’t been scientifically proved. B. They are not innovative in nature. C. They depend more on hardware. D. They work like the human brain. 30. What does the writer imply about GPUs? A. They have replaced DNNs at handling neural networks. B. They have made language technology reliably greater than ever. C. They have achieved limited success regarding language technology. D. They help enhance language technologies by means of image classification. D Human identity is a captivating and intricate subject, and the emergence of digital platforms has significantly transformed the way the average person defines themselves. A few decades ago, identity was largely linked to intrinsic traits and one’s role within a community; today it is increasingly entangled with what we consume, especially online. With the widespread availability of diverse media, literature, and learning opportunities, the self is no longer shaped only by lived experience but also by visible symbols — clothes, aesthetics, and cultural preferences that can be displayed and recognized. Identity becomes something curated and performed, constructed through choices that signal belonging. This transformation is closely tied to consumer culture. Modern marketing does not merely promote products; it promotes personas. A particular combination of clothing, habits, and attitudes is associated with a particular “type” of person, allowing individuals to role-play identities they aspire to embody. Although the notion that products shape identity was articulated by Edward Bernays in the 1920s, digital culture accelerates and intensifies this process. The paradox is clear: while individuals seek to distinguish themselves from the crowd, they often do so by adopting carefully orchestrated trends that categorize them through consumption. As labels grow more specialized in an effort to capture the “unique facets” of personality, they risk reducing individuals to marketable types rather than revealing genuine complexity. At the same time, the structure of online life reshapes community. In the past, people were surrounded by others who held contrasting viewpoints, and disagreement did not necessarily erode social bonds. Today, specialized online spaces often function as echo chambers, where ideas are rarely challenged and identity is reinforced through similarity. This diminishes meaningful dialogue and weakens the broader sense of communal belonging. When identity depends heavily on external validation — recognition, visibility, and symbolic alignment — it becomes fragile and easily influenced by shifting trends. Underlying these changes is a deeper tension between human relational needs and the logic of consumerism. People possess an innate tendency to form emotional attachments and to seek recognition as individuals rather than as categories. Yet in a world driven by competition and self-presentation, the self is increasingly treated as something to be optimized, displayed, and evaluated. When identity is interpreted through the language of the market, relationships risk appearing transactional, and personal worth is measured in terms of visibility and appeal. Digital culture therefore produces a dual effect. It expands the possibilities for self-expression by offering access to diverse ideas and communities, but it also narrows the self by encouraging individuals to package their identities into recognizable, consumable forms. The central challenge is not the existence of online identity itself, but the tendency to substitute curated images for lived experience. A more grounded sense of self requires moving beyond ready-made labels toward reflection, responsibility, and genuine engagement with others — recovering identity as something lived rather than merely displayed. 31. What does the underlined word “curated” in Para. 1 most probably mean? A. Randomly assembled. B. Strictly classified. C. Selectively organized. D. Passively received. 32. What can be inferred about identity in online spaces? A. It is fostered by similarity. B. It is strengthened by disagreement. C. It is grounded in lived interaction. D. It is independent of recognition. 33. As for digital self-presentation, the author is ________. A. approving B. skeptical C. neutral D. unconcerned 34. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Making of Digital Identity B. The Self in Consumer Culture C. Identity in the Age of Connectivity D. The Self Against Online Community 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Despite the long history of scholarship on experiences of art, researchers have yet to capture and understand the most meaningful aspects of such experiences, including the thoughts and insights we gain when we visit a museum, the sense of encounter after seeing a meaningful work of art, or the changed thinking after experiences with art. These powerful encounters can be inspiring, uplifting, and contribute to well-being and flourishing. 35 It contributes to facilitating a better understanding of ourselves, the human condition, and moral and spiritual concepts. The question is how that happens — what are the qualities of meaningful experiences of art? According to the mirror model of art developed by Pablo P. L. Tinio, aesthetic reception corresponds to artistic creation in a mirror-reversed fashion. Artists aim to express ideas and messages about the human condition or the world at large. 36 This results in the build-up of layers of materials — from initial studies and sketches to the final, refined piece. A viewer’s initial interaction with an artwork starts where the artist has left off. Their interaction first involves the processing surface features, such as color, texture, and the finishing touches applied by the artist during the final stages of the creative process. 37 In addition, art making and art viewing are connected by creative thinking. Research in a lab at Yale University shows that an educational program that uses art appreciation activities builds creative thinking skills. It showed that the more time visitors spent engaging with art and the more they reflected on it, the greater the correspondence with the artists’ intentions and ideas. 38 Correspondence in feeling and thinking suggests a transfer — between creator and viewer — of ideas, concepts, and emotions contained in the works of art. Art has the potential to communicate across space and time. 39 What it takes for this to happen is active engagement with art in contexts that facilitate this engagement, especially museums. A. The viewer gains a new perspective from the artistic work. B. The theory of aesthetic cognitivism describes the value of art. C. This helps to create connections and insights that otherwise would not happen. D. Participants were more original in their thinking compared to non-participants. E. To do so, they explore key ideas and continually expand them as they develop their work. F. After spending more time with the work, the viewer begins to access the ideas of the artist. G. People then were asked to view a work of art from different perspectives. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 “Winners never quit and quitters never win.” It’s a great expression of our admiration of courage and persistence. But as Aristotle observed over 2,000 years ago, actions pushed to their extreme turn into disasters. There is a famous story about the Scottish king Robert the Bruce. Robert hid in a cave after his sixth defeat by the English, and there he watched a spider try to secure its web to the cave wall. The spider tried and failed six times before finally succeeding. Robert then decided to return to the fight, winning independence for the Scots — on the seventh attempt. King Robert’s story offers a deep well of inspiration for those who most need it. But lately I’ve been thinking about a possibility the story ignores. What if the spider had been climbing the wrong corner of the cave? There’s a crucial difference between failing at the right thing and persisting at the wrong one. When we fail at the right thing, persistence makes sense. We learn, adjust, and try again. But when we persist with the wrong thing, every bit of effort takes us further from where we are meant to be. Quitting is in fact necessary for growth. By ending something, we create space for something new to grow. We need to exit the things that don’t work anymore to be able to enter the ones that make sense for who we are today. We can imagine a different version of King Robert’s story. In this story, the spider falls a seventh time. It stops on the stone floor — and then turns, moving slowly towards a different corner of the cave, where the wind is calmer and the flies more plentiful. 40. What is Aristotle’s observation according to this passage? 41. Why is quitting necessary for growth? 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ➢ Failing at the right thing takes us further from where we are meant to be. 43. How can you apply the idea of “moving towards a different corner” to a real life challenge?
