(B) Nature is amazing! Take a close look at the world of insects, and you’ll find many unbelievable things. Think about butterflies, for example. They have beautiful colourful wings and strong fantastic flying skills. In summer, you can see them flying freely over flower gardens and wild fields. But do you know how butterflies become flying insects? It’s one of the amazing wonders of nature. In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colourful egg on a leaf or stem (茎) of a plant. It’s hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It turns into a walking insect. This insect is called a caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life has begun. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see, but it is still not a butterfly. Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. It covers itself in a protective blanket (保护层) and goes to sleep. This stage is known as the “pupa (蛹)” stage. After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colourful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away. After a few weeks, this adult butterfly lays her eggs, and the cycle begins all over again. This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look into the woods and mountains and see what you can find next. 35. What is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Butterflies are a kind of insect. B. Butterflies are good at flying. C. Butterflies have colourful wings. D. Butterflies have a good sense of smell. 36. What is the right order of the development of a butterfly? ① It becomes a pupa. ② It becomes a walking insect. ③ Female butterflies lay an egg. ④ It spreads wings and flies away. A. ①②③④ B. ①②④③ C. ③②①④ D. ③②④① 38. Where can you probably find this text? A. In a fashion magazine. B. In a nature magazine. C. In a guidebook. D. In a story book. (C) In a clear tank of water, fish are swimming happily. Wait a second: look closer at that blue one. It is actually a robot! This scene happened at the World Digital Education Conference from May 14 to 16 in Wuhan, Hubei province. There were red and yellow robotic fish, too. Scientists at Wuhan University made them. At about 53 centimeters long, the fish were very lifelike. The joints (关节) in their heads and tails were made in a special way to let the fish move fast and easily. This is thanks to bionic engineering, which brings together nature and man-made things. “I love to see the bionic fish,” Professor James Crabbe from Oxford University told Jiupai News. “It could tell us much more about fish swarming and how fish behave.” Swarming in fish means they swim together in large groups. It helps them stay safe, find food and save energy. Learning about swarming helps us understand how fish live and how changes in the environment matter to them. The pretty colors of the bionic fish come from the LED lights on their bodies, said People’s Daily. These lights can also make shadows, giving the underwater world a party feel. Even better, the bionic fish are smart. With the help of AI and sensors (传感器), they can “see” things in their way and learn to avoid them, said Changjiang Daily. The fish are already helping in the study of the Yangtze River’s water to help protect the environment. 39. What is special about the blue “fish” in the tank? A. It swims backwards. B. It is actually a robot. C. It changes color every few seconds. D. It can swim in groups with real fish. 40. What helps the robotic fish move fast and easily? A. AI sensors B. LED lights C. Specially designed joints D. Special water in the tank 41. What does “bionic engineering” mean in the text? A. Using lights to mimic fish colors B. Combining natural and artificial designs C. Programming fish with AI D. Making shadows for underwater parties 42. What is the main purpose of these robotic fish? A. Entertainment at conferences B. Environmental research in the Yangtze River C. Testing underwater party decorations D. Teaching students how to make robots (D) It was a cold November morning several years ago. My alarm clock had just gone off, but I was having trouble getting out of bed. My dad had died a few weeks before. I felt weighed down by sadness and depression. Tough and strong, my dad had worked so hard all his life to support us. He had a temper and would sometimes shout at my brothers and me, but I always knew that he loved me. Still, he had been raised in a traditional way and raised us that way too. I couldn’t remember, for example, ever being hugged by him. But eventually, my mom and grandma passed away. My dad moved into grandma’s home right up the road from where I lived. I was so happy to have him close by. I would often visit him and just talk with him about life. But we still rarely touched and never hugged. Finally his own health began to rapidly fail and within a few months he left us. It was a cold morning when we had his service, but I was too cold and numb inside myself to feel it. I couldn’t remember when we’d had our last hug. I sighed and got out of bed. I turned on the lights and walked into the hallway. I saw my son JJ walking down the hall to meet me. Suddenly, he opened his arms and gave me a heartfelt hug. And just as he did, I heard my dad’s voice deep inside of me say, “Joey, this hug is from me!” I cried and smiled at the same time. In that moment, in the place where heart, mind, and spirit all meet, I felt loved. I felt loved by my dad. I felt loved by life. 43. Which word can NOT describe the writer’s father? A. Tough. B. Strong. C. Lovely. D. Strict. 44. What did the son JJ do in the hallway? A. He played games. B. He gave the writer a hug. C. He cried for a hug. D. He slept on the floor. 45. We can infer from the passage that ________. A. the writer’s father hugged him B. the writer felt loved from the hug C. we need to face sadness bravely D. people need hugs from their families 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 阅读短文及文后A—E选项，选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项。 Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbots (聊天机器人) are everywhere right now. 46 Soon, Google will put out its Gemini AI chatbot for children under the age of 13. But it has also led to some worries. The Guardian reported that AI companies usually stop children at that age from using their products. This is to protect kids from legal (法律的) problems. 47 Also, laws protect kids’ personal information, but companies need those information to provide services. To let kids use Gemini, parents need to set up an account (账户) for their child on the Family Link app. They should provide the kid’s name and date of birth. 48 It is also reported that Gemini is like a friend. It helps children with learning, creativity and looking up information. However, there are still some problems. 49 When Gemini tries to block unsafe information for kids, it might also stop them from finding good information about growing up. Parents can open and close Gemini for their kids through its app and see what they’ve said to the chatbot. 50 They should check the content produced by the AI chatbot, help their kids to understand it and make sure that the information is correct. A. That is because if kids break the law when using AI chatbots, companies can’t do much about it. B. Therefore, experts have suggested that parents should be more careful. C. However, Google said it won’t use children’s information to train its AI system. D. But have you ever tried one made just for kids? E. For example, some kids might also try to get away from the Family Link app’s controls. 四、写作（共三节，满分37.5分） 第一节 语篇填词（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 阅读短文，根据上下文和所给的首字母写出所缺单词。注意使用正确形式，每空限填一词。 Numbers play an important role in our daily activities.

Zibo in Shandong province is called “the home of soccer ball”, being the birthplace of the ancient Chinese sport of cuju. Cuju won recognition (认可) from soccer’s governing body, FIFA, as the earliest form of soccer in 2004. “Side-flicking (叶底摘桃)” and “shoulder-stopper (双肩背月)” are some of the key moves known by cuju players. Li Weipeng, 34, from Linzi district of Zibo city is a seventh-generation inheritor (继承者) of cuju. He has been practicing these skills for 18 years. Mastering different cuju skills is not easy. “At the beginning, I spent eight hours a day practicing juggling (颠) a ball. It was tiring,” Li said. He is now able to juggle a ball with his foot over 10,000 times in a row. Teaching students cuju moves is a part of Li’s job. The traditional Chinese sport is now popular at primary and middle schools in Linzi. Its moves have been adapted into dances and morning exercises. “Students show great interest in playing cuju, which encourages me to promote the ancient sport,” Li said. Moreover, cuju has also become a platform for cultural exchanges. During the World Cup in Qatar, Li introduced cuju at a China-Qatar youth exchange activity. He led Chinese and Qatari young players wear traditional cuju clothes and experience the ancient game. “As soon as we started, many soccer fans gathered around us. When we played out the different moves, they cheered for us and gave us the thumbs-up,” said Li, adding that many people were curious and wanted to communicate with the cuju players. 56.

AI brings us lots of advantages. We can ask questions at any time and take free online courses with AI tools. It helps us study more conveniently. However, we shouldn’t depend too much on AI. If we always copy answers from AI, we will easily forget basic knowledge. Spending too much time on screens also does harm to our eyes. In short, AI is just a helper. We should think on our own and make good use of it. Yours, Li Hua 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
