In early 2025, she wrote a very special essay (短文) called Returning Home on the Old Tracks. At first, this essay was just a piece of school homework she handed in. However, later on, as the essay became welcome online, more and more tourists chose to visit her hometown, Inner Mongolia. The essay talks about Zhang’s 25-hour train ride from Hangzhou to her hometown, Ulanqab (a city in Inner Mongolia). In it, she wrote about many small but beautiful moments. For example, her grandfather bought her snacks because “children love them.” Her grandparents also made space for her on the small train beds. These little things show how much family members care for each other. Zhang also described what she saw outside the train window—rivers and mountains slowly changing into open grasslands (草原). Her words make readers feel like they are on the journey with her. Zhang’s teacher, Mr Wang said, “Real writing doesn’t come from copying (复制) examples but from watching life.”Through Zhang’s delicate (细腻的) words and life-like scenes, her essay moved many people across China. Zhang’s essay made many people start searching for Ulanqab online. The city even created new travel routes (路线) according to her trip. Zhang’s story shows that real feelings can win many people’s hearts. A person from Wenzhou said, “Zhang’s love for her home never gets old.” 6. Why did Zhang Xiaoran write the essay? A.

They’re called capybaras (水豚), a kind of cute animals with some amazing facts. They are big. As the world’s largest rodents (啮齿动物), adult capybaras can weigh up to 50kg. They are as heavy as some humans! They can be up to 130 cm tall. Although they are fat, they can run fast at a speed of up to 35 km/h. They love water. Capybaras spend a lot of time in water. Their special feet help them move quickly through water, and they can also stay underwater for up to five minutes at a time. Capybaras like to sleep in water to avoid (避免) getting sunburnt. They have an unusual diet. Capybaras love to eat hard grasses, which need to be chewed (咀嚼) many times. To finish the long chewing, capybaras’ teeth never stop growing. Capybaras also eat their own waste. They do this because the grasses they eat are too hard to digest (消化). By eating its waste, a capybara can get useful bacteria (细菌) into its stomach to help it digest food. It’s clear that capybaras are valuable to humans. Whether they’re online or at your local zoo, these cute friends are sure to make you smile at them. 11. What can we know about capybaras according to Paragraph 2? A. They are the largest animals. B.

To show us some amazing facts about capybaras. C. To tell us different dangers capybaras are facing. D. To show us the most valuable animal in the world. D. A video (视频) creator used AI to“resurrect (复活)” his grandmother who passed away. He even had a video call with “her”. As a result, some people are for this practice, while others are against it. Let’s see the ideas of two groups. Using AI to “bring back” loved ones helps people face sadness. People who have close relationships with family members might feel really sad after losing their loved ones. This feeling affects their daily life. AI can imitate their loved ones’ voices and words to give hope to the living. During the Qingming Festival, people often talk to their dead loved ones when visiting their graves (墓). This can help with the heavy sadness people feel at that time. Similarly, talking to the AI that acts like their loved one could reduce (↓) such sadness. Technology (科技) keeps improving, so we should try new ways to “meet” those we miss. ---Group A The resurrection of family and friends sounds great. But in truth, it’s not very good. People shouldn’t put their feelings and love for the dead onto AI—a lifeless tool. This could stop people from facing the reality of death and moving on. AI technology uses pictures and recordings to create something that looks and sounds like the person who died. But it can’t create the person’s soul (灵魂) and mind. AI can never be a real person. It may be helpful for a while, but it also causes more sadness. We should respect life and focus on every moment we have with our loved ones. ---Group B 16. What is this passage mainly about? A. Ideas on different ways to improve AI. B. Ideas on using AI to “bring back” loved ones. C. Ideas on using AI to create videos about dead people. D. Ideas on how to deal with sadness in daily life. 17. What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “imitate”? A. 模仿 B. 创造 C. 改善 D. 怀念 18. What does AI help with during the Qingming Festival according to the passage? A. It helps people stay with those they miss. B. It makes Qingming Festival more meaningful. C. It allows people to visit the graves of their loved ones in new ways. D. It reduces people’s sadness over losing their loved ones. 19. What does Group B advise? A. Treat AI as a real person. B. Get emotional (情感的) support from AI. C. Treasure moments with loved ones. D. Use AI to remember the dead. 20. Who thinks it’s good to “resurrect” dead people with AI? A. The writer. B. Group A. C. Group B. D. The video creator. 第二节：完形填空 (共15小题，每小题1.5分，满分22.5分) A. 阅读下面的短文，从后面各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Those who know others are wise; those who know themselves are bright; those who conquer others are forceful; those who conquer themselves are strong. (知人者智，自知者明。胜人者有力，自胜者强。) ---Tao Te Ching Competition winners often say that they didn’t just beat (击败) their competitors (竞争者)—they conquered (征服) themselves. What does it mean? To understand this idea, we can ____21____ it with Laozi’s ancient wisdom (智慧) from 2,500 years ago. True wisdom, in Laozi’s ____22____, comes from understanding others, but that alone is not enough. It is also important to understand ourselves. If we know what we’re good at and bad at, and what we like and dislike, we will know the ____23____ between ourselves and others. Another of Laozi's ideas is that while conquering others is all well and good, true ____24____ comes from conquering ourselves. As students, we sometimes compare our exam grades with those of others.

For parents, they say this to make their children work hard. Although some children are very excellent, parents ____29____ want their children to be better. So they try to play a stern (严厉的) ____30____ in front of their children in real life. However, for children, their parents’ ____31____ are like thorns (刺) in their hearts. They say that though they’re very good, they can’t bring ____32____ to their parents. As a result, this makes it harder for children to ____33____ the best of them and to get close to their parents.

Your music seems ____38____ (guide) me to the endless banks (岸边) of the Yangtze River!” After hearing these words, Boya was so ____39____ (pleasure) because he finally met someone who truly understood his music. From then on, these two became the best friends in the world. For years, they shared music ____40____ each other. Later, Ziqi passed away. Boya couldn’t accept (接受) Ziqi’s ____41____ (die) and was heartbroken. He thought probably no one else could ever understand him so ____42____ (deep) as Ziqi.

Although plants don’t have mouths like humans, they have their own ways to have communication. Some plants use chemicals (化学物质) to communicate with each other. This happens when insects eat a plant, for example a bean plant. The plant sends out chemicals from the leaves. It is telling other bean plants, “I’m in danger!” When other bean plants smell the chemicals, they start to send out their own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals can drive the insects away, and others can attract (吸引) bees! Then the bees kill the insects. More surprisingly, plants also use sounds to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds, but plants are making them. Some plants make sounds with their roots (根). Corm and chili plants do this. They also listen to sounds from other plants. A chili plant can tell if a plant around is helpful or unfriendly. Some trees make sounds when they are thirsty. Most surprisingly of all, plants can communicate through an amazing network (网络) called “wood wide web”. The “wood wide web” is connected to each other underground by fungi (真菌). These fungi connect the roots of different plants together. Through the “wood wide web”, plants can exchange information with each other. Some trees can even send food to help smaller trees grow. Scientists are learning more about the ways plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will be able to “talk” with them. Plant ____46____ Through chemicals It happens when insects eat plants. *The ____47____: →A plant sends out chemicals to remind other plants of the danger. →Other plants send out different chemicals. →Some chemicals drive the insects away, and others attract bees to ____48____ the insects. Through sounds Some plants can make sounds and listen to sounds from other plants. *A chili plant can tell if a plant is helpful or unfriendly through sounds. *Some trees make sounds when they are ____49____.
