The Harry Potter Studio tour is one of the easiest day trips from London. Just read the directions on the website where you buy tickets and follow the crowds from the train to the bus. It is a unique experience. A walk through the studio allows families to appreciate every little detail that was put into the production of the Harry Potter movies from the costumes to the sets. Visitors can view the Potions Classroom, board the Hogwarts’ Express, and walk through the Dursley’s house.
Leeds Castle
Leeds Castle is one of the most beautiful castles in the UK. It is surrounded by a river and gardens, making it a relaxing and peaceful place. Leeds Castle is open for self-guided tours, and there are kid-friendly shows. Leeds Castle has a wonderfully-designed maze (迷宫), which has a surprise at the center that will appeal to all ages, not just children looking for a place to play. Leeds Castle also has a big playground, one part of which is set aside for small kids while the other inspires teenagers in an old game of hide-and-seek.
Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle is used by the current British royal family. This makes it the longest-occupied palace in Europe. Afraid that your young children might feel dull? Don’t worry. There is a kids’ audio tour available as well as an activity that features crafts (手工艺), coloring and dress-up for little ones. And in the summer months, parents will be happy to know that there is a place to get an ice cream for their kids centrally located in the castle complex (建筑群).

【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据Leeds Castle中“Leeds Castle also has a big playground, one part of which is set aside for small kids while the other inspires teenagers in an old game of hide-and-seek.(Leeds Castle有一个大操场,一部分留给小孩子玩,另一部分可以让青少年玩捉迷藏这个古老游戏。) ”由此可知,这个大操场是给孩子们玩的,孩子们可以在这玩得开心,故选C。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据Windsor Castle中“There is a kids’ audio tour available as well as an activity that features crafts, coloring and dress-up for little ones.

I lost. The glowing red numbers on the scoreboard finally froze: 15 — 21. Just like that, the regional Quiz Bowl championship was over. Six months of memorizing encyclopedias, blistered (起泡的) thumbs from pressing buttons, and piles of worn-out flashcards vanished into a single digital screen. When the final bell rang, the hall felt quiet. I shook hands with the opposing captain, forced a polite smile, and walked toward the backstage, wanting to disappear into my backpack.
For a long time, I believed that winning was the only key to confidence. If you don’t hold the first prize, you are invisible. Sitting on the cold steps tonight, staring at my sneakers, I felt like a ghost.
Then, Mia walked over. She didn’t offer any comforting words like “you’ll get them next time.” Instead, she simply placed a giant bag of ice onto my throbbing wrist — exhausted from hours of fast button-pressing — opened two cans of soda, and sat down beside me. We drank in silence, watching the staff cleaning waste papers.
Suddenly, Mia laughed. “Remember last March? You pressed the button so fast that you knocked the coach’s coffee mug right off the table.” I cracked a smile. Then, the memories hit me like a flood. I remembered the freezing winter mornings when we cheered each other up with hot cocoa. I remembered the uncontrollable giggles during late-night quiz practices, and the unspoken bond of knowing exactly when she would take a guess on a hard history question.
The scoreboard on the wall flickered and went black. The numbers were gone. But the taste of the cold soda, the ache in my wrist, and Mia’s laugh remained perfectly sharp.
I stood up, zipped my bag, and realized something huge. The game didn’t define me; the journey did. I am not a loser; I am a storyteller of my own growth.
4. Why did the author feel like a ghost?
A. He was too tired. B. He felt lost. C. He was laughed at. D. He felt worthless.
5. How does Mia cheer the author up?
A. By cleaning the hall together. B. By promising future wins.
C. By recalling shared memories. D. By analyzing hard questions.
6. Which of the following best describes Mia?
A. Generous. B. Thoughtful. C. Determined. D. Confident.
7. What has the author come to realize about the experience?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. The journey is the reward.
C. Failure is the mother of success. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】主要讲述竞赛失利后作者顿悟,真正有价值的是奋斗历程而非比赛输赢。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For a long time, I believed that winning was the only key to confidence. If you don’t hold the first prize, you are invisible. Sitting on the cold steps tonight, staring at my sneakers, I felt like a ghost.(很长一段时间,我相信胜利是获得自信的唯一关键。拿不到一等奖,你就毫无存在感。今晚坐在冰冷台阶上,盯着自己的运动鞋,我感觉自己像个幽灵。)”可知,作者输掉比赛,认为没有获奖就没有价值,觉得自己毫无意义。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Suddenly, Mia laughed. “Remember last March? You pressed the button so fast that you knocked the coach’s coffee mug right off the table.” I cracked a smile. Then, the memories hit me like a flood.(突然米娅笑了:“还记得去年三月吗?你按键太快,把教练的咖啡杯直接碰掉在桌上。”我勉强笑了,回忆如潮水般涌上心头。)”可知,米娅通过回忆二人共同经历的往事来开导作者。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“She didn’t offer any comforting words like “you’ll get them next time.” Instead, she simply placed a giant bag of ice onto my throbbing wrist — exhausted from hours of fast button‑pressing — opened two cans of soda, and sat down beside me.(她没有说“下次你会赢”这类安慰话。相反,她把一大袋冰敷在我因长时间快速按键而酸痛的手腕上,打开两罐汽水,坐到我身旁。)”可知米娅体察作者的状态,用行动共情,十分体贴周到。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I stood up, zipped my bag, and realized something huge. The game didn’t define me; the journey did. I am not a loser; I am a storyteller of my own growth.(我站起身拉上背包拉链,领悟到一个重要道理。比赛不能定义我,奋斗的历程才可以。我不是失败者,我是自己成长经历的讲述者。)”可知作者感悟到过程本身就是回报。
C
Robert Campbell, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Glasgow, has lived with type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) for a decade. Recently, worrying blurriness in his vision prompted him to seek a screening for diabetic retinopathy — a diabetes-related eye disease that causes blindness. Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service.
His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called “RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert's retina (视网膜). Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community.
The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by human tiredness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care.
“Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.”
The Glasgow pilot has already yielded promising results. In its first six months, the program successfully screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it has accurately tagged hundreds of at risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful impact on patient outcomes.
Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings.
8. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the the AI program was introduced?
A. He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease.
B. His eye disease was too advanced to be treated.
C. His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment.
D. He had to wait long for a specialist appointment.
9. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text?
A. It replaces the need for human doctors.
B. It provides immediate treatment for patients.
C. It offers quick and accurate screening in communities.
D. It is cheaper than traditional screening methods.
10. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”?
A. They finally avoid vision loss. B. They conduct initial screenings.
C. They treat complex diseases. D. They work without specialists.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Is AI the Doctor’s Newest Assistant? B. How is AI Transforming Eye Care?
C. What Could AI Contribute to Humans? D. Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors?
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要介绍了AI视网膜筛查技术的工作原理、优势及其对医疗效率的提升,并展望其全球应用前景。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service. (按照传统,他要在苏格兰国家医疗服务体系(National Health Service)获得专家预约,需要等待很长时间)”可知,在引入人工智能程序之前,Robert Campbell遇到的问题是他不得不等很长时间才能预约到专家,故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community. (短短几分钟内,该系统便给出了自动评估结果,以极高的准确率检测出了疾病的细微迹象,这一举措有效绕过了传统流程中的瓶颈环节,将专家级的筛查服务直接带到了社区)”可知,RetinaScan AT的主要优势是它为社区提供了快速准确的筛查,故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段Dr. Eleanor Reed所说的“By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss. (通过承担大量初始筛查工作,它们确保人类专家能够将自身技能专注于复杂诊断和治疗方案的制定,最终防止可预防的视力丧失情况发生)”可知,埃莉诺·里德博士称人工智能平台为“游戏规则改变者”是因为它们负责初步筛选,故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第三段“The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by humantedness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert,who require urgent specialist care. (这项技术基于深度学习构建。人工智能接受了数十万张由眼科医生先前标注过的视网膜图像的训练,通过这一过程,它学会了识别糖尿病眼病的关键指标,且识别的一致性不受人为因素影响。它的主要作用是筛查:高效地识别出健康患者,并标记出像罗伯特这样需要紧急专科护理的患者)”可知,本文介绍了AI视网膜筛查技术的工作原理、优势及其对医疗效率的提升,并展望其全球应用前景,主题始终围绕AI如何变革眼科护理,所以“人工智能如何改变眼部护理?”适合作为文章标题。故选B。
D
Many of us believe that our pets make us healthier and happier. While there is some truth to this, the scientific evidence is more complex than it seems.
Research in the field of human-animal interaction has produced mixed results. For example, some studies show that pet owners are less likely to be depressed, while others show the opposite. Experts suggest this inconsistency may occur because people who already feel lonely or depressed might get a pet for comfort, thus affecting the data.
One clearer benefit of dog ownership is increased physical activity, thanks to daily walks. A famous 1998 study found that pet owners who had suffered heart attacks were more likely to survive the following year. A 2019 analysis even showed a dramatic 24% lower risk of death for dog owners. However, when researchers adjusted for other factors, such as the owners’ pre-existing health and activity levels, this benefit nearly disappeared. “You’re more likely to have a dog if you’re already active.” explains developmental psychologist Megan Mueller, highlighting that correlation does not equal causation.
Consequently, scientists are now looking beyond simple ownership. They are focusing on the quality of the relationship between humans and their pets. “Pets are not a medical intervention; they’re a relationship,” says gerontologist Jessica Bibbo. The level of attachment and emotional support seems to be the true key to health benefits.
Controlled experiments support this. A 2025 study found that dog owners had lower stress hormone levels when their pets were present during stressful tasks. In another study, a group of older adults who were given crickets to care for showed improved mental health compared to a control group. This suggests that the act of caring itself, not just the type of animal, can be powerful. The secret to a healthier life, it seems, lies not merely in owning a pet, but in building a strong, supportive bond with it.
12. What does the research in paragraph 2 mainly show us?
A. Health benefits of pet ownership. B. Various causes for human loneliness.
C. Strong objection to the previous belief. D. Inconsistent results of human-pet studies.
13. How does the writer illustrate pet ownership increases physical activities?
A. By listing examples. B. By presenting findings.
C. By clarifying concepts. D. By giving definitions.
14. What can be inferred from Jessica Bibbo’s statement?
A. The value of pets lies in emotional connection.
B. Medical interventions are less effective than pets.
C. Scientists have overestimated the benefits of pets.
D. Pets should not be used in any medical treatment.
15. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. Human beings need animal companionship. B. Pets serve as the best cure for mental issues.
C. Pet ownership alone guarantees a healthy life. D. Human-pet bond contributes to owners’ well-being.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍人们普遍认为宠物有益身心健康,但相关科学证据复杂且结果不一。真正的健康益处源于人与宠物的情感联结及照料行为,而非单纯养宠物本身。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Research in the field of human-animal interaction has produced mixed results. For example, some studies show that pet owners are less likely to be depressed, while others show the opposite. (人与动物互动领域的研究结果参差不齐。例如,一些研究表明养宠物的人不太可能抑郁,而另一些研究则相反)”可知,第二段的研究主要向我们展示了对人与宠物互动的研究结果的不一致。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“One clearer benefit of dog ownership is increased physical activity, thanks to daily walks. A famous 1998 study found that pet owners who had suffered heart attacks were more likely to survive the following year. A 2019 analysis even showed a dramatic 24% lower risk of death for dog owners. (养狗的一个更明显的好处是,由于每天散步,身体活动增加了。1998年一项著名的研究发现,心脏病发作的宠物主人第二年更有可能存活下来。2019年的一项分析甚至显示,养狗的人死亡风险大幅降低了24%)”可知,作者通过呈现研究结果来说明养宠物增加了身体活动。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““Pets are not a medical intervention; they’re a relationship,” says gerontologist Jessica Bibbo. The level of attachment and emotional support seems to be the true key to health benefits. (老年学家杰西卡·比博说:“宠物不是一种医疗干预;它们是一种关系。”依恋程度和情感支持似乎是健康益处的真正关键)”可推知,杰西卡·比博认为宠物的价值在于情感联系。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The secret to a healthier life, it seems, lies not merely in owning a pet, but in building a strong, supportive bond with it. (似乎,健康生活的秘诀不仅仅在于养宠物,还在于与它建立牢固、支持性的纽带)”结合文章主要介绍了养宠物与健康之间的关系,养宠物与健康之间的关系并非简单的因果关系,而是人与宠物之间的情感联系和互动质量对健康有重要影响。可知,这篇文章的主旨是人类与宠物的关系有助于主人的健康。故选D项。

How to choose one?
Look for a strong, lightweight, waterproof backpack with several pockets. Leave your roller suitcase in the closet because it will cause problems if roads are blocked. ____17____ If you cannot carry the bag comfortably for at least 20 minutes, it is too heavy. Experts suggest 30 pounds as the top limit because moving fast saves lives.
____18____
Your survival bag should focus on basic needs. For food and water, pack a water bottle and a 72-hour supply of dry food. Personal hygiene requires simple items like toothbrushes, soap, and wet wipes. Since clothing is survival stuff, include warm jackets, sturdy shoes, and heavy-duty gloves. Do not forget a first-aid kit with bandages and your daily medications. Finally, put your phone chargers, flashlights, and important documents in a waterproof bag.
Who needs a bag?
Every person in your household should have their own bag. For babies, remember to include formulas, diapers, and extra clothes. ____19____ Therefore, practice using their carriers early and pack a week’s supply of pet food, bowls, and their health records.
How to keep it?
____20____ Keep it inside your home near an exit where you can grab it in 30 seconds. Avoid storing it in garages or cars, as long-term heat destroys the items inside. Finally, check your bag every three to six months to replace expired food and update clothing sizes.
A. What to pack inside?
B. What is a go bag actually?
C. Where you store the bag is very important.
D. Once your equipment is ready, do a weight check.
E. Don’t wait until a disaster is at your doorstep to plan.
F. Pets also face the same risks of hunger and cold as humans.
G. Whether it is a wildfire or an earthquake, a well-packed bag gives you peace of mind.

【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了由荷兰公司改造的全球首个涡轮机住宅Nestle。文章阐述了该住宅的设计特点、改造来源于20年退役涡轮机,强调其作为升级改造范例的意义。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:在这个仅35平方米的紧凑空间里,玻璃门窗营造出令人惊讶地明亮通风的环境。此处修饰形容词light and airy,需用副词形式,surprising的副词是surprisingly(令人惊讶地)。故填surprisingly。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:Nestle由一台有20年历史的退役涡轮机改造而成,该涡轮机由一家荷兰公司捐赠,这家公司专门收购二手涡轮机进行再利用。分析句子结构可知,空处作非谓语动词,turbine与donate之间是被动关系,用过去分词作后置定语。故填donated。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该项目背后公司的联合创始人乔斯·德·克里格表示,这是首次将涡轮机用于住宅建设,Nestle是一个雄心勃勃的范例,展示了升级改造的可能性。分析句子结构可知,空处作非谓语动词,此处表示“作为首次将涡轮机用于住宅建设”,与主语Nestle之间是主动关系,用现在分词作状语,句首单词首字母大写。故填Marking。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:该项目背后公司的联合创始人乔斯·德·克里格表示,这是首次将涡轮机用于住宅建设,Nestle是一个雄心勃勃的范例,展示了升级改造的可能性。此处修饰名词demonstration,需用形容词形式,ambition的形容词是ambitious(雄心勃勃的)。故填ambitious。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:随着全球陆上和海上风电产业的蓬勃发展,未来几十年涡轮机废弃物预计将快速增长。句子描述客观预测,用一般现在时;turbine waste与expect之间是被动关系,用一般现在时的被动语态,waste为不可数名词,助动词用is。故填is expected。
【41题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意:克里格希望像Nestle这样的项目能为退役涡轮机提供一种报废后的替代处理方案。此处表示“一种替代方案”,表泛指,end-of-life以元音音素开头,用不定冠词an。故填an。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:到目前为止,人们对Nestle的反响一直很积极,该公司目前正处于早期筹备阶段,计划首批生产约10套微型住宅,这将有助于提高产量并使其符合市场需求。根据时间状语So far可知,句子用现在完成时;主语the response为单数,助动词用has。故填has been。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:到目前为止,人们对Nestle的反响一直很积极,该公司目前正处于早期筹备阶段,计划首批生产约10套微型住宅,这将有助于提高产量并使其符合市场需求。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整个句子(“公司筹备批量生产”这件事),在从句中作主语,用关系代词which。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:随着涡轮机部件更多潜在用途的展现,就越容易说服人们和风力发电场业主,这对他们来说也是一种可行的选择。use作“用途”讲时是可数名词,前面有more修饰,用复数形式。故填uses。
【45题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:随着涡轮机部件更多潜在用途的展现,就越容易说服人们和风力发电场业主,这对他们来说也是一种可行的选择。此处是“the+比较级,the+比较级”结构,意为“越……,越……”,easy的比较级是easier。故填easier。

Good morning, Mr. Smith and everyone.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Good morning, Mr. Smith and everyone. Regarding our homework, I believe independent thinking must always come first.
Why? Primarily, struggling with tough assignments independently is what builds deep understanding and sharpens logical skills. Relying on AI shortcuts would only breed laziness. It robs us of the growth that comes from solving problems. However, this doesn’t mean banning technology. We can properly use AI to tackle extremely challenging problems, but only after we have thoroughly thought them through ourselves. Used this way, AI becomes a valuable partner in learning rather than a substitute for our own intelligence.
Let’s use AI tools wisely to become better, independent learners. Thank you!

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a small town in Michigan, there stood an independent bookstore called Serendipity Books — a beloved gathering place for over twenty years. Children had learned to read in its cozy corners, surrounded by piles of picture books. Old friends had met there for coffee and conversation, losing themselves among the shelves on rainy afternoons. The owner, Michelle, had poured her heart into the store since 2017, working alongside three part-time employees who felt more like family.
Then came the news. The old building where the bookstore had stood for decades was scheduled for demolition (拆迁) to make way for a new development. Michelle had to move — but the only available space nearby was a smaller storefront just a block away. The thought of packing, transporting, and reorganizing over 9,100 books was paralyzing (令人瘫痪的).
Each book, after all, held a memory: the worn copy of a childhood favorite, the signed edition a customer had treasured for years. Hiring a moving company would cost thousands, money she simply didn’t have. For weeks, Michelle lay awake at night, wondering if she should just close the doors forever.
She shared her despair with a few regular customers — a retired teacher who came in every Tuesday, a young mother whose daughter had learned to read there. ”I don’t know how I’ll ever move all these books,” she sighed (叹气), her voice breaking. They nodded sympathetically but couldn’t think of easy answers. Still, word began to spread through the town. People talked in the grocery store, at the school pickup line, over morning coffee.
The moving day came. Michelle stood outside the old store, staring at the endless shelves, her heart a knot of fear and hopelessness. She had no idea how she would get a single book to the new location, let alone nine thousand. She half-expected to spend the day alone, boxing and crying. Then she heard footsteps — first a few, then dozens, then a crowd. When she turned around, her breath caught in her throat.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右。
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
A human chain of nearly 300 residents lined up from the old bookstore to the new one.

Paragraph 2:
When the last book found its place on the new shelf, Michelle stepped forward, holding back tears.

【答案】参考范文
A human chain of nearly 300 residents lined up from the old bookstore to the new one. Book after book traveled hand to hand along the sidewalk. Michelle recognized the retired teacher who came in every Tuesday, passing picture books with a gentle smile. “I read this in high school,” a teenager said, holding up a worn novel. “This one is signed by the author,” an elderly woman added. Laughter and memories flowed like the books themselves. In less than two hours, all 9,100 books had reached their new home. Michelle’s three employees stood at the door, tears streaming down their faces.
When the last book found its place on the new shelf, Michelle stepped forward, holding back tears. “I almost closed this store,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “I thought I would be boxing these books alone. But you turned my darkest day into something I will never forget.” A young mother stepped forward. “This store belongs to all of us,” she said. One by one, hands went up — offers to volunteer, to help, to keep the story going. That day, the community didn’t just move 9,100 books. They carried their own story into a new home.

Harry Potter Studio
The Harry Potter Studio tour is one of the easiest day trips from London. Just read the directions on the website where you buy tickets and follow the crowds from the train to the bus. It is a unique experience. A walk through the studio allows families to appreciate every little detail that was put into the production of the Harry Potter movies from the costumes to the sets.

Leeds Castle also has a big playground, one part of which is set aside for small kids while the other inspires teenagers in an old game of hide-and-seek.
Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle is used by the current British royal family. This makes it the longest-occupied palace in Europe. Afraid that your young children might feel dull? Don’t worry. There is a kids’ audio tour available as well as an activity that features crafts (手工艺), coloring and dress-up for little ones.

I lost. The glowing red numbers on the scoreboard finally froze: 15 — 21. Just like that, the regional Quiz Bowl championship was over. Six months of memorizing encyclopedias, blistered (起泡的) thumbs from pressing buttons, and piles of worn-out flashcards vanished into a single digital screen. When the final bell rang, the hall felt quiet. I shook hands with the opposing captain, forced a polite smile, and walked toward the backstage, wanting to disappear into my backpack.
For a long time, I believed that winning was the only key to confidence. If you don’t hold the first prize, you are invisible. Sitting on the cold steps tonight, staring at my sneakers, I felt like a ghost.
Then, Mia walked over. She didn’t offer any comforting words like “you’ll get them next time.” Instead, she simply placed a giant bag of ice onto my throbbing wrist — exhausted from hours of fast button-pressing — opened two cans of soda, and sat down beside me. We drank in silence, watching the staff cleaning waste papers.
Suddenly, Mia laughed. “Remember last March? You pressed the button so fast that you knocked the coach’s coffee mug right off the table.” I cracked a smile. Then, the memories hit me like a flood. I remembered the freezing winter mornings when we cheered each other up with hot cocoa. I remembered the uncontrollable giggles during late-night quiz practices, and the unspoken bond of knowing exactly when she would take a guess on a hard history question.
The scoreboard on the wall flickered and went black. The numbers were gone. But the taste of the cold soda, the ache in my wrist, and Mia’s laugh remained perfectly sharp.
I stood up, zipped my bag, and realized something huge. The game didn’t define me; the journey did. I am not a loser; I am a storyteller of my own growth.
4. Why did the author feel like a ghost?
A. He was too tired. B. He felt lost. C. He was laughed at. D. He felt worthless.
5. How does Mia cheer the author up?
A. By cleaning the hall together. B. By promising future wins.
C. By recalling shared memories. D. By analyzing hard questions.
6. Which of the following best describes Mia?
A. Generous. B. Thoughtful. C. Determined. D. Confident.
7. What has the author come to realize about the experience?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. The journey is the reward.
C. Failure is the mother of success. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C
Robert Campbell, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Glasgow, has lived with type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) for a decade. Recently, worrying blurriness in his vision prompted him to seek a screening for diabetic retinopathy — a diabetes-related eye disease that causes blindness. Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service.
His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called “RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert's retina (视网膜). Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community.
The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by human tiredness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care.
“Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.”
The Glasgow pilot has already yielded promising results. In its first six months, the program successfully screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it has accurately tagged hundreds of at risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful impact on patient outcomes.
Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings.
8. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the the AI program was introduced?
A. He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease.
B. His eye disease was too advanced to be treated.
C. His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment.
D. He had to wait long for a specialist appointment.
9. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text?
A. It replaces the need for human doctors.
B. It provides immediate treatment for patients.
C. It offers quick and accurate screening in communities.
D. It is cheaper than traditional screening methods.
10. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”?
A. They finally avoid vision loss. B. They conduct initial screenings.
C. They treat complex diseases. D. They work without specialists.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Is AI the Doctor’s Newest Assistant? B. How is AI Transforming Eye Care?
C. What Could AI Contribute to Humans? D. Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors?
D
Many of us believe that our pets make us healthier and happier. While there is some truth to this, the scientific evidence is more complex than it seems.
Research in the field of human-animal interaction has produced mixed results. For example, some studies show that pet owners are less likely to be depressed, while others show the opposite. Experts suggest this inconsistency may occur because people who already feel lonely or depressed might get a pet for comfort, thus affecting the data.
One clearer benefit of dog ownership is increased physical activity, thanks to daily walks. A famous 1998 study found that pet owners who had suffered heart attacks were more likely to survive the following year. A 2019 analysis even showed a dramatic 24% lower risk of death for dog owners. However, when researchers adjusted for other factors, such as the owners’ pre-existing health and activity levels, this benefit nearly disappeared. “You’re more likely to have a dog if you’re already active.” explains developmental psychologist Megan Mueller, highlighting that correlation does not equal causation.
Consequently, scientists are now looking beyond simple ownership. They are focusing on the quality of the relationship between humans and their pets. “Pets are not a medical intervention; they’re a relationship,” says gerontologist Jessica Bibbo. The level of attachment and emotional support seems to be the true key to health benefits.
Controlled experiments support this. A 2025 study found that dog owners had lower stress hormone levels when their pets were present during stressful tasks. In another study, a group of older adults who were given crickets to care for showed improved mental health compared to a control group. This suggests that the act of caring itself, not just the type of animal, can be powerful. The secret to a healthier life, it seems, lies not merely in owning a pet, but in building a strong, supportive bond with it.

Why Do We Need a Go Bag?
Imagine it is 3 a.m. and your phone starts ringing with an emergency alert. The smartest choice is to calmly grab your prepacked go bag — an emergency bag — and head out. “A go bag is your lifeline when disaster strikes without warning,” says Daniel Kilburn, a safety expert. ____16____
How to choose one?
Look for a strong, lightweight, waterproof backpack with several pockets. Leave your roller suitcase in the closet because it will cause problems if roads are blocked. ____17____ If you cannot carry the bag comfortably for at least 20 minutes, it is too heavy. Experts suggest 30 pounds as the top limit because moving fast saves lives.
____18____
Your survival bag should focus on basic needs. For food and water, pack a water bottle and a 72-hour supply of dry food. Personal hygiene requires simple items like toothbrushes, soap, and wet wipes. Since clothing is survival stuff, include warm jackets, sturdy shoes, and heavy-duty gloves. Do not forget a first-aid kit with bandages and your daily medications. Finally, put your phone chargers, flashlights, and important documents in a waterproof bag.
Who needs a bag?
Every person in your household should have their own bag. For babies, remember to include formulas, diapers, and extra clothes. ____19____ Therefore, practice using their carriers early and pack a week’s supply of pet food, bowls, and their health records.
How to keep it?
____20____ Keep it inside your home near an exit where you can grab it in 30 seconds. Avoid storing it in garages or cars, as long-term heat destroys the items inside. Finally, check your bag every three to six months to replace expired food and update clothing sizes.
A. What to pack inside?
B. What is a go bag actually?
C. Where you store the bag is very important.
D. Once your equipment is ready, do a weight check.
E. Don’t wait until a disaster is at your doorstep to plan.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a small town in Michigan, there stood an independent bookstore called Serendipity Books — a beloved gathering place for over twenty years. Children had learned to read in its cozy corners, surrounded by piles of picture books. Old friends had met there for coffee and conversation, losing themselves among the shelves on rainy afternoons. The owner, Michelle, had poured her heart into the store since 2017, working alongside three part-time employees who felt more like family.
Then came the news. The old building where the bookstore had stood for decades was scheduled for demolition (拆迁) to make way for a new development. Michelle had to move — but the only available space nearby was a smaller storefront just a block away. The thought of packing, transporting, and reorganizing over 9,100 books was paralyzing (令人瘫痪的).
Each book, after all, held a memory: the worn copy of a childhood favorite, the signed edition a customer had treasured for years. Hiring a moving company would cost thousands, money she simply didn’t have. For weeks, Michelle lay awake at night, wondering if she should just close the doors forever.
She shared her despair with a few regular customers — a retired teacher who came in every Tuesday, a young mother whose daughter had learned to read there. ”I don’t know how I’ll ever move all these books,” she sighed (叹气), her voice breaking. They nodded sympathetically but couldn’t think of easy answers. Still, word began to spread through the town. People talked in the grocery store, at the school pickup line, over morning coffee.
The moving day came. Michelle stood outside the old store, staring at the endless shelves, her heart a knot of fear and hopelessness. She had no idea how she would get a single book to the new location, let alone nine thousand. She half-expected to spend the day alone, boxing and crying. Then she heard footsteps — first a few, then dozens, then a crowd. When she turned around, her breath caught in her throat.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右。
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
A human chain of nearly 300 residents lined up from the old bookstore to the new one.

Paragraph 2:
When the last book found its place on the new shelf, Michelle stepped forward, holding back tears.
