M: I know her. She has millions of followers.
W: Yeah, her latest video talks about the British personality. You know, the famous British reserve.
M: Ha. I see. It just means we aren’t very friendly or very open. So do you think it’s true?
W: It’s hard to say, but Lily says Britons are too shy to make friends with others.
M: Look at Americans, we speak the same language, but they’re much more open. And you see it when Americans travel, they speak with strangers, often on the train. British people seldom do that, not in London anyway.
W: People may be different in other parts of your country, isn’t it?
M: Not completely, you know what they say. An Englishman’s home is his castle. It’s really difficult to get inside.
W: Yeah, Lily also mentions it being private. You go home to your house and your garden and you close the door. It’s your place.
M: That’s why the British don’t like flats. They prefer to live in houses.

【原文】
I’m Suci, an Indian student. After I graduated from a university in my homeland, I went to study abroad. I finished my Master’s degree in Denmark and Doctor’s degree in Sweden. This experience has taught me a lot.
When you study abroad, the first thing you might notice are the many differences between people. But in a strange way, you also start to see that all of these differences are also universal and people in many ways are the same everywhere. Studying abroad gives you the opportunity to really understand people from different culture background and when you make friends, you learn to hug people’s perfections alongside their shortcomings.
This blessing of knowing many people from many cultural backgrounds taught me to understand myself better, and the importance of deepening my soft-skills.
Do you also have a dream of studying abroad? You can keep what I said in mind.

(本题10分)Most teenagers kill time playing video games, or surfing TikTok. But it’s not so for William Gadoury, a 14-year-old from Quebec. William Gadoury has been crazy about the Mayans for most of his childhood, ever since his grandparents bought him books about the civilization. What started as a hobby at age 12 snowballed into serious research, and he theorized that the locations of Mayan cities might correspond (相一致) to stars in Mayan constellations (星座).
Using ancient books, Gadoury analyzed 22 Mayan constellation maps and covered the positions onto HERE WeGo images of the Yucatan Peninsula, which to this day is home to large local populations and some best-preserved architecture from Mayan culture. He would track the constellations from HERE WeGo using special sheets, covering them onto the position of Mayan cities on a paper map. The teen was able to show that 117 Mayan cities matched up with the position of the stars, with the brightest stars representing bigger cities.
But when Gadoury was working on the 23rd Mayan constellation, he found a conflict: three stars, but only two ancient cities on HERE WeGo. The third star pointed to a location on the Mexico-Belize border. However, the area was covered with thick jungle, leaving Gadoury stuck.
Luckily, he asked Canadian Space Agency (CSA) for images from their RADARSAT-2 satellite. Indeed, there was a square, man-made-looking structure in the heavy forest. Gadoury then learned a fire had swept across the region, thinning out the grass cover. He found images from the agency, and eventually concluded that there was indeed a city there.
Gadoury’s findings eventually took him into the jungle in 2022 to search on foot, along with scientist Francisco Estrada- Belli. The team discovered a farming village deep in the Mexican jungle, which showed the “backbone” of the Maya’s long-term success, which was down to their ability to work the land and support large cities.
24.(2.5分)What are Gadoury’s findings mainly about?
A.The villages in the Mexican jungle.
B.The images from CSA satellites.
C.The origins of Mayan culture.
D.The locations of Mayan cities.
25.(2.5分)How did Gadoury carry out his research according to Paragraph 2?
A.By tracking the best-preserved building on maps.
B.By analyzing 117 Mayan cities in ancient books.
C.By checking star maps against satellite images.
D.By updating HERE WeGo on the Internet.
26.(2.5分)What made it difficult for Gadoury to find the third city of the 23rd Mayan constellation?
A.A thick forest. B.A forest fire. C.Fund shortage. D.Bad weather.
27.(2.5分)Which of the following best describes Gadoury?
A.Cheerful. B.Intelligent. C.Ambitious. D.Sympathetic.
【答案】24.D 25.C 26.A 27.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。14 岁的男孩Gadoury与其他玩电子游戏或刷TikTok的孩子不同,他专心研究玛雅文明,推测玛雅城市的位置可能与玛雅星座中星星的位置相对应,据此他和一位科学家发现了一个玛雅农庄。
【详解】24.细节理解题。根据第一段“What started as a hobby at age 12 snowballed into serious research, and he theorized that the locations of Mayan cities might correspond (相一致) to stars in Mayan constellations (星座). (从12岁开始的一个爱好逐渐发展成严肃的研究,他提出了玛雅城市的位置可能与玛雅星座中的星星相对应的理论。)”可知,Gadoury通过研究推测,玛雅城市的位置可能与玛雅星座中的星星相对应。所以Gadoury的发现主要是关于玛雅城市的位置。故选D。
25.细节理解题。根据第二段“Using ancient books, Gadoury analyzed 22 Mayan constellation maps and covered the positions onto HERE WeGo images of the Yucatan Peninsula, which to this day is home to large local populations and some best-preserved architecture from Mayan culture. He would track the constellations from HERE WeGo using special sheets, covering them onto the position of Mayan cities on a paper map. The teen was able to show that 117 Mayan cities matched up with the position of the stars, with the brightest stars representing bigger cities. (Gadoury利用古书分析了22张玛雅星座地图,并将这些位置覆盖到尤卡坦半岛的HERE WeGo图像上,直到今天,尤卡坦半岛仍然是大量当地人口的家园,还有一些保存最完好的玛雅文化建筑。他会用特殊的纸张在HERE WeGo上追踪星座,并将它们覆盖在纸质地图上玛雅城市的位置上。这个少年能够展示117个玛雅城市与星星的位置相匹配,最亮的星星代表更大的城市。)”可知, Gadoury通过对照HERE WeGo地图和玛雅星图研究玛雅城市的位置。故选C。
26.细节理解题。根据第三段“But when Gadoury was working on the 23rd Mayan constellation, he found a conflict: three stars, but only two ancient cities on HERE WeGo. The third star pointed to a location on the Mexico-Belize border. However, the area was covered with thick jungle, leaving Gadoury stuck. (但当Gadoury在研究第23个玛雅星座时,他发现了一个矛盾:三颗星,但在HERE WeGo上只有两座古城。第三颗星星指向墨西哥和伯利兹边境的一个地方。然而,该地区被茂密的丛林覆盖,使Gadoury陷入困境。)”可知茂密的森林让Gadoury很难找到第23个玛雅星座中的第三个城市,故选A。
27.推理判断题。通读全文可知,尤其第一段“What started as a hobby at age 12 snowballed into serious research, and he theorized that the locations of Mayan cities might correspond (相一致) to stars in Mayan constellations (星座). (从12岁开始的一个爱好逐渐发展成严肃的研究,他提出了玛雅城市的位置可能与玛雅星座中的星星相对应的理论。)”可知本文主要介绍了14岁的男孩 Gadoury 专心研究玛雅文明,通过比对地图和玛雅星图最终发现了一个玛雅农庄的故事。由此推知, Gadoury是一个聪明的孩子。故选B。
(本题10分)The Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City are recognized as the first city in China and provide archaeological evidence that Chinese civilization has a history of over 5,000 years. The site was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2019. UNESCO describes it as "representing the great achievement of prehistoric rice-cultivating civilization of China over 5,000 years ago, and an outstanding example of early urban civilization".
Located in the Yangtze River Basin on the south-eastern coast of the country, the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City were the political and religious center of an early regional state in the Taihu Lake Basin. The Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City reveal an early regional state with rice-cultivating agriculture as its economic base, and social differentiation and a unified belief system, which existed in the Late Neolithic period in China.
This 5,300-year-old city was first discovered by Shi Xingeng in 1936, and then became known to the world after many years of archaeological excavations. The Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City have been designated as a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit, and are the most representative prehistoric large-scale settlement in East Asia, marking a milestone in the development of human civilization. The Liangzhu culture, as the peak of early rice agriculture in the formation stage of Chinese civilization, had a profound impact on the evolution of Chinese culture for the following five thousand years.
The complex water conservancy system around Liangzhu, along with the burial sites (including altars) that show social classes and excavated items represented by special jade artifacts used in ceremonies, all show how small Neolithic societies changed into an early state.
These discoveries clearly show how advanced the rice-growing civilizations were in the lower Yangtze River area during the Neolithic Age. Together, they help us understand well that the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City are a great example of an early local city civilization.
28.(2.5分)Why are the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City important?
A.They are listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
B.They prove that China grew rice the earliest in the world.
C.They indicate that China has a 5,000-year-old civilization.
D.They show that China was successful in city construction.
29.(2.5分)What featured the pre-historic civilization in the Taihu Lake Basin?
A.The advanced social system. B.The well-developed technology.
C.The rice-growing agriculture. D.The prosperous economy.
30.(2.5分)What can we infer from the discoveries of the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City?
A.The civilization in the Yangtze River Basin reached a new stage.
B.People gathered and lived in communities in well-designed cities.
C.Good rice harvest increased the population as well as economy.
D.Neolithic societies existed a short time due to new political systems.
31.(2.5分)What can be the best title of the passage?
A.Excavation of the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City
B.Significance of the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City
C.Civilization Development of the Yangtze River Basin
D.Development of China's Rice-Cultivating Agriculture
【答案】28.C 29.C 30.A 31.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍良渚古城遗址,它被确认为中国第一座城市,为中国五千年文明史提供考古依据,2019 年被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产,文章阐述了其重要地位、代表的史前文明特点、相关发现的意义以及遗址对理解早期城市文明的重要性。
【详解】28.细节理解题。根据第一段“The Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City are recognized as the first city in China and provide archaeological evidence that Chinese civilization has a history of over 5,000 years.(良渚古城遗址被确认为中国第一座城市,为中国文明有5000多年历史提供了考古证据)”可知,良渚古城遗址重要是因为它们表明中国有5000年的文明史。故选C项。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段“The Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City reveal an early regional state with rice - cultivating agriculture as its economic base(良渚古城遗址揭示了一个以稻作农业为经济基础的早期区域国家)”可知,太湖流域史前文明的特点是以稻作农业为基础。故选C项。
30.推理判断题。根据最后两段“The complex water conservancy system around Liangzhu, along with the burial sites(including altars)that show social classes and excavated items represented by special jade artifacts used in ceremonies, all show how small Neolithic societies changed into an early state. These discoveries clearly show how advanced the rice - growing civilizations were in the lower Yangtze River area during the Neolithic Age.(良渚周围复杂的水利系统,以及显示社会阶层的墓葬遗址(包括祭坛)和以仪式用特殊玉器为代表的出土物品,都展示了新石器时代的小社会是如何转变为早期国家的。这些发现清楚地表明,新石器时代长江下游地区的稻作文明是多么先进)”可知,良渚古城遗址的发现表明长江流域的文明发展到了一个新阶段。故选A项。
31.主旨大意题。主要介绍良渚古城遗址,它被确认为中国第一座城市,为中国五千年文明史提供考古依据,2019 年被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产,文章阐述了其重要地位、代表的史前文明特点、相关发现的意义以及遗址对理解早期城市文明的重要性。B选项“Significance of the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City(良渚古城遗址的意义)”符合文意。故选B项。
(本题10分)In Southwest China’s Yunnan Province, Jia Ma, a woodblock art form in Han dynasty, is making a vibrant comeback.
In the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan, locals will stick Jia Ma on the door frames during the Spring Festival. The traditional Jia Ma designs come in over 600 patterns, used to pray for blessings for wealth, fertility, education, marriage, protection from evil, ancestor worship and more. There are also blessings for nature, homes, roads, family harmony and joyous as well as serious occasions. Deeply rooted in spiritual and cultural traditions, these vibrant artworks are categorized into three main themes: dragon totems (图腾), main gods and folk beliefs.
No longer limited to temples or altars (祭坛), Jia Ma has found its way into the hands of young travelers who are eager to take home more than a typical souvenir. Today, the designs are being reimagined, integrating ancient symbols with a contemporary change. The artwork now speaks to ambitions, desires and intentions, turning a centuries-old tradition into dreams of the modern traveler. The once-serious symbols of fortune have evolved to include playful designs like the “God of Inspiration” and the “God of Easy Gains”, making it suitable for younger generations who are looking for modern-day magic.
Tourists from around the world are also attracted to these updated cultural symbols. The Jia Ma fridge magnets — some bilingual, others with clever changes — have become a sought-after souvenir, turning up in the backpacks and suitcases of visitors who want to carry back a piece of this ancient province with them.
In fact, many visitors to the region are finding that the most memorable experiences come not from the typical mass-produced gifts, but from local crafts that tell a story and remind them of the place.
32.(2.5分)What is the primary function of Jia Ma?
A.Attracting tourists. B.Recording historical figures.
C.Expressing hope for good things. D.Decorating homes during festivals.
33.(2.5分)Why does the author mention the “God of Easy Gains”?
A.To prove the shift of public interest.
B.To suggest the appearance of new gods.
C.To show that Jia Ma now includes popular elements.
D.To stress the connection between original and modern patterns.
34.(2.5分)What makes Jia Ma fridge magnets popular among tourists?
A.They come in bilingual versions.
B.They date back to the Han Dynasty.
C.They are inexpensive and easy to carry.
D.They combine personal travel experience and local culture.
35.(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A Woodblock Art: Jia Ma in Han Dynasty
B.Jia Ma: An Old Tradition with a Modern Taste
C.Popular Souvenirs for Tourists in Yunnan Province
D.The Cultural Themes and Patterns of Traditional Jia Ma
【答案】32.C 33.C 34.D 35.B
【导语】本文介绍了中国云南汉代木刻艺术甲马的复兴与创新发展。
【详解】32.细节理解题。根据第二段“The traditional Jia Ma designs come in over 600 patterns, used to pray for blessings for wealth, fertility, education, marriage, protection from evil, ancestor worship and more.(传统甲马纹样有600多种,用于祈福求财、求子嗣、求学、求姻缘、驱邪避凶、祭祖等。)”可知,甲马的主要功能是寄托美好事物的祈愿。
33.推理判断题。根据第三段“The once-serious symbols of fortune have evolved to include playful designs like the “God of Inspiration” and the “God of Easy Gains”, making it suitable for younger generations who are looking for modern-day magic.( 曾经寓意招财纳福、风格庄重的传统神像,如今衍生出灵感之神、躺赢之神这类趣味新潮的形象,恰好契合追求新式精神寄托的年轻一代。)”可知,作者提到“躺赢之神”是为了展示甲马融入流行元素。
34.细节理解题。根据第四段“The Jia Ma fridge magnets — some bilingual, others with clever changes — have become a sought-after souvenir, turning up in the backpacks and suitcases of visitors who want to carry back a piece of this ancient province with them.(甲马文创冰箱贴有的采用双语设计,还有些做了趣味创意改编,如今已然成为抢手的纪念品,频频出现在游客的背包与行李箱中,大家都想带走一份这份古韵省份的独特风物。)”和最后一段“In fact, many visitors to the region are finding that the most memorable experiences come not from the typical mass-produced gifts, but from local crafts that tell a story and remind them of the place.(事实上,许多来到此地的游客发现,最令人难忘的体验并非来自千篇一律的批量纪念品,而是那些承载故事、留存地域记忆的本地手工艺品。)”可知,结合个人旅行体验与本土文化是甲马冰箱贴受欢迎的原因。
35.主旨大意题。文章开篇介绍传统甲马,接着讲述了纹样重新设计、融合当代风格,结尾讲甲马冰箱贴成为网红文创纪念品。文章主线是古老甲马结合现代元素重获新生,由此可知,B项“甲马:古韵传承,焕发现代新风”最贴合全文主旨。
(本题12.5分) When we think about cultural heritage preservation, it’s not just about keeping old buildings standing. It is a joint effort to protect the story of our history and identity. Think of it like a quilt: Each patch represents a piece of our past. 36(2.5分) Around the world, effective strategies help keep our shared heritage safe for future generations.
Community and education. When people feel connected to their cultural landmarks, they’re more likely to protect them with their own hands and hearts. 37(2.5分) Meanwhile, education empowers younger generations to become future protectors. For example, schools in South Africa that teach children about their historical roots have led to more community-led initiatives.
38(2.5分) Modern tools are changing the way we protect heritage. 3D laser scanning allows archaeologists to record sites in great detail, as seen in Jordan’s ancient city of Petra. This helps create digital copies of fragile structures. Meanwhile, sustainable tourism makes sure that visitors don’t harm the heritage they come to see. A recent study found that 60% of tourists are willing to pay more to support sustainable practices.
Laws and partnerships. Strong rules matter. Greece has strict laws with heavy fines to protect sites and stop illegal digging. Also, partnerships between local governments and non-governmental organizations help improve conservation efforts by sharing resources and knowledge. The partnership between Indonesia and the Global Heritage Fund to restore Borobudur’s ancient temples has protected the site. 39(2.5分)
Adaptive reuse. This creative approach gives old buildings a new purpose while keeping their historical value. The High Line in New York City, an abandoned railway turned into a lively public park, keeps its historical value while serving today’s city life. 40(2.5分) They show that preservation and progress can go hand in hand. Many other cities are now following this example, turning old factories into museums or ancient warehouses into community centers.
A.Science and practice.
B.Technology and tourism.
C.Losing any of them means losing part of the story.
D.This will offer people more chances to know themselves.
E.In Italy, residents of Pompeii regularly volunteer for restoration projects.
F.Such a method supports both cultural appreciation and urban development.
G.Besides, it boosted local economies through tourism, creating jobs for nearby villagers.
【答案】36.C 37.E 38.B 39.G 40.F
【导语】本文主要介绍了保护文化遗产的多种有效途径与具体做法。
【详解】36.由上文“Think of it like a quilt: Each patch represents a piece of our past.(把它想象成一床被子:每一块补丁都代表着我们过去的一部分。)”可知,此处用被子来比喻文化遗产,每一块补丁都不可或缺。下文“Around the world, effective strategies help keep our shared heritage safe for future generations.(在世界各地,有效的策略帮助我们为后代保护共享的遗产。)”则引出了保护遗产的具体方法。因此,本空需要填入一个能承接被子比喻、强调每块补丁重要性的句子,同时能自然过渡到下文的保护策略。C选项“Losing any of them means losing part of the story.(失去任何一块都意味着失去部分故事。)”完美承接了上文的被子比喻,强调了每一块“补丁”的重要性,同时为下文介绍保护策略做了铺垫,正因为失去任何一块都不行,所以才需要有效的保护策略。
37.由上文“Community and education. When people feel connected to their cultural landmarks, they’re more likely to protect them with their own hands and hearts.(社区与教育。当人们与文化地标产生情感连接时,他们更有可能用自己的双手和心灵去保护它们。)”和下文“Meanwhile, education empowers younger generations to become future protectors.(同时,教育赋予年轻一代成为未来保护者的能力。)”可知,本段围绕“社区与教育”展开,上文讲社区参与,下文用“Meanwhile”转向教育。因此,本空需要填入一个关于社区参与保护遗产的具体例子。E选项“In Italy, residents of Pompeii regularly volunteer for restoration projects.(在意大利,庞贝居民定期自愿参与修复项目。)”是社区主动保护遗产的典型实例,与上文“protect them with their own hands and hearts”高度吻合,且与下文教育部分的举例形成对照。
38.由下文“Modern tools are changing the way we protect heritage. 3D laser scanning allows archaeologists to record sites in great detail, as seen in Jordan’s ancient city of Petra. This helps create digital copies of fragile structures. Meanwhile, sustainable tourism makes sure that visitors don’t harm the heritage they come to see. A recent study found that 60% of tourists are willing to pay more to support sustainable practices.(现代工具正在改变我们保护遗产的方式。3D激光扫描使考古学家能够详细记录遗址,如约旦的古城佩特拉。这有助于创建脆弱结构的数字副本。同时,可持续旅游确保游客不会损害他们前来参观的遗产。最近的一项研究发现,60%的游客愿意支付更多费用来支持可持续实践。)”可知,本段主要介绍了两个方面:一是现代科技手段,二是可持续旅游。因此,本空作为段首小标题,需要概括这两个核心内容。B选项“Technology and tourism.(科技与旅游。)”精准概括了本段的两大主题,与下文内容完全对应。
39.由上文“The partnership between Indonesia and the Global Heritage Fund to restore Borobudur’s ancient temples has protected the site.(印度尼西亚与全球遗产基金合作修复婆罗浮屠古庙,成功保护了这一遗址。)”可知,此处在介绍一个成功的国际合作案例。本空需要填入对该合作成果的补充说明。G选项“Besides, it boosted local economies through tourism, creating jobs for nearby villagers.(此外,它还通过旅游业促进了当地经济发展,为附近村民创造了就业机会。)”中“Besides”表示递进补充,说明该合作除了保护遗址外还带来了经济效益,与上文构成完整的合作成果描述。
40.由上文“The High Line in New York City, an abandoned railway turned into a lively public park, keeps its historical value while serving today’s city life.(纽约市的高线公园,一条废弃铁路变成了充满活力的公共公园,在保留历史价值的同时服务于当今城市生活。)”和下文“They show that preservation and progress can go hand in hand.(它们表明保护与发展可以齐头并进。)”可知,本段主题是“适应性再利用”,上文举例说明,下文总结意义。因此,本空需要填入一个对适应性再利用方法进行总结评价的句子。F选项“Such a method supports both cultural appreciation and urban development.(这种方法既支持文化欣赏,也支持城市发展。)”中“Such a method”指代上文的适应性再利用,“both cultural appreciation and urban development”与下文“preservation and progress can go hand in hand”完美呼应。

六、书面表达
67.(本题25分)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。
My grandfather is a master of Nixing Pottery (坭兴陶), a craft passed down through four generations in our family. Growing up in Qinzhou, I spent hours in his studio, amazed at how a simple piece of clay could become an elegant teapot under his weathered hands. To me, the hands held magic.
However, things are gradually changing nowadays. My world was filled with coding, 3D modeling software, and news about AI. During a recent visit home, I noticed Grandpa struggling with a complex traditional design. His glasses were fogged from the heat of the kiln (窑), and his hands trembled slightly as he carved fine details.
“Grandpa, there is an app for that now,” I joked, showing him my tablet. On the screen was a generative AI program that could create thousands of pottery designs in seconds. “This could help you imagine new patterns.” I pulled up a modern vase design generated by AI. “We could even use a 3D printer for the rough shape, and then you do the finishing touches. It’s what they call new quality productive forces—using technology to upgrade traditional industries!”
To my surprise, Grandpa didn’t look impressed. He put down his carving knife and gazed at me, his eyes filled with pride and concern. “So, the machine creates pottery, and I just touch it up?” he asked quietly. “Your new forces might be fast, but can they feel the clay? Do they know that purple clay from the east bank has a different quality than the clay from the west?” He gestured to the stack (一堆) of his life’s work. “A real piece of Nixing Pottery carries the potter’s patience and our family’s stories. I’m not against progress, but I fear we’re losing the soul.”
I looked at the perfect but cold image on my screen, and then at the half-finished teapot on his wheel—uneven, yet warm and alive. Confusion washed over me. Was I right to bring technology home, or was I threatening the heritage I loved?
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I stared at the teapot and had an idea.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That night, Grandpa carefully placed our creation in the kiln.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I stared at the teapot and had an idea. Instead of letting AI replace Grandpa’s craftsmanship, I suggested we combine technology with tradition. I could use AI to collect and sort various ancient Nixing patterns for reference, while Grandpa kept shaping the clay and carving details with his experienced hands. Grandpa’s eyes lit up. He agreed to have a try. We spent the whole afternoon together. AI offered inspiring ideas, and Grandpa breathed life into the clay with his skilled fingers. Every cut he made carried his understanding of the local clay.
That night, Grandpa carefully placed our creation in the kiln. He told me that technology was a helpful tool rather than a replacement. True heritage lay in the craftsman’s feelings and stories buried in the clay. I realized that progress and tradition could go hand in hand. Advanced technology brings innovation, while human devotion preserves the soul of traditional crafts. Technology helped preserve old skills, while human warmth kept the soul of Nixing Pottery alive. Only in this way can the time-honored craft be passed down through generations.

(本题10分)Most teenagers kill time playing video games, or surfing TikTok. But it’s not so for William Gadoury, a 14-year-old from Quebec. William Gadoury has been crazy about the Mayans for most of his childhood, ever since his grandparents bought him books about the civilization. What started as a hobby at age 12 snowballed into serious research, and he theorized that the locations of Mayan cities might correspond (相一致) to stars in Mayan constellations (星座).
Using ancient books, Gadoury analyzed 22 Mayan constellation maps and covered the positions onto HERE WeGo images of the Yucatan Peninsula, which to this day is home to large local populations and some best-preserved architecture from Mayan culture. He would track the constellations from HERE WeGo using special sheets, covering them onto the position of Mayan cities on a paper map. The teen was able to show that 117 Mayan cities matched up with the position of the stars, with the brightest stars representing bigger cities.
But when Gadoury was working on the 23rd Mayan constellation, he found a conflict: three stars, but only two ancient cities on HERE WeGo. The third star pointed to a location on the Mexico-Belize border. However, the area was covered with thick jungle, leaving Gadoury stuck.
Luckily, he asked Canadian Space Agency (CSA) for images from their RADARSAT-2 satellite. Indeed, there was a square, man-made-looking structure in the heavy forest. Gadoury then learned a fire had swept across the region, thinning out the grass cover. He found images from the agency, and eventually concluded that there was indeed a city there.
Gadoury’s findings eventually took him into the jungle in 2022 to search on foot, along with scientist Francisco Estrada- Belli. The team discovered a farming village deep in the Mexican jungle, which showed the “backbone” of the Maya’s long-term success, which was down to their ability to work the land and support large cities.
24.(2.5分)What are Gadoury’s findings mainly about?
A.The villages in the Mexican jungle.
B.The images from CSA satellites.
C.The origins of Mayan culture.
D.The locations of Mayan cities.
25.(2.5分)How did Gadoury carry out his research according to Paragraph 2?
A.By tracking the best-preserved building on maps.
B.By analyzing 117 Mayan cities in ancient books.
C.By checking star maps against satellite images.
D.By updating HERE WeGo on the Internet.
26.(2.5分)What made it difficult for Gadoury to find the third city of the 23rd Mayan constellation?
A.A thick forest. B.A forest fire. C.Fund shortage. D.Bad weather.
27.(2.5分)Which of the following best describes Gadoury?
A.Cheerful. B.Intelligent. C.Ambitious. D.Sympathetic.
(本题10分)The Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City are recognized as the first city in China and provide archaeological evidence that Chinese civilization has a history of over 5,000 years. The site was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2019. UNESCO describes it as "representing the great achievement of prehistoric rice-cultivating civilization of China over 5,000 years ago, and an outstanding example of early urban civilization".
Located in the Yangtze River Basin on the south-eastern coast of the country, the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City were the political and religious center of an early regional state in the Taihu Lake Basin. The Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City reveal an early regional state with rice-cultivating agriculture as its economic base, and social differentiation and a unified belief system, which existed in the Late Neolithic period in China.
This 5,300-year-old city was first discovered by Shi Xingeng in 1936, and then became known to the world after many years of archaeological excavations. The Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City have been designated as a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit, and are the most representative prehistoric large-scale settlement in East Asia, marking a milestone in the development of human civilization. The Liangzhu culture, as the peak of early rice agriculture in the formation stage of Chinese civilization, had a profound impact on the evolution of Chinese culture for the following five thousand years.
The complex water conservancy system around Liangzhu, along with the burial sites (including altars) that show social classes and excavated items represented by special jade artifacts used in ceremonies, all show how small Neolithic societies changed into an early state.
These discoveries clearly show how advanced the rice-growing civilizations were in the lower Yangtze River area during the Neolithic Age. Together, they help us understand well that the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City are a great example of an early local city civilization.
28.(2.5分)Why are the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City important?
A.They are listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
B.They prove that China grew rice the earliest in the world.
C.They indicate that China has a 5,000-year-old civilization.
D.They show that China was successful in city construction.
29.(2.5分)What featured the pre-historic civilization in the Taihu Lake Basin?
A.The advanced social system. B.The well-developed technology.
C.The rice-growing agriculture. D.The prosperous economy.
30.(2.5分)What can we infer from the discoveries of the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City?
A.The civilization in the Yangtze River Basin reached a new stage.
B.People gathered and lived in communities in well-designed cities.
C.Good rice harvest increased the population as well as economy.
D.Neolithic societies existed a short time due to new political systems.
31.(2.5分)What can be the best title of the passage?
A.Excavation of the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City
B.Significance of the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City
C.Civilization Development of the Yangtze River Basin
D.Development of China's Rice-Cultivating Agriculture
(本题10分)In Southwest China’s Yunnan Province, Jia Ma, a woodblock art form in Han dynasty, is making a vibrant comeback.
In the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan, locals will stick Jia Ma on the door frames during the Spring Festival. The traditional Jia Ma designs come in over 600 patterns, used to pray for blessings for wealth, fertility, education, marriage, protection from evil, ancestor worship and more. There are also blessings for nature, homes, roads, family harmony and joyous as well as serious occasions. Deeply rooted in spiritual and cultural traditions, these vibrant artworks are categorized into three main themes: dragon totems (图腾), main gods and folk beliefs.
No longer limited to temples or altars (祭坛), Jia Ma has found its way into the hands of young travelers who are eager to take home more than a typical souvenir. Today, the designs are being reimagined, integrating ancient symbols with a contemporary change. The artwork now speaks to ambitions, desires and intentions, turning a centuries-old tradition into dreams of the modern traveler. The once-serious symbols of fortune have evolved to include playful designs like the “God of Inspiration” and the “God of Easy Gains”, making it suitable for younger generations who are looking for modern-day magic.
Tourists from around the world are also attracted to these updated cultural symbols. The Jia Ma fridge magnets — some bilingual, others with clever changes — have become a sought-after souvenir, turning up in the backpacks and suitcases of visitors who want to carry back a piece of this ancient province with them.
In fact, many visitors to the region are finding that the most memorable experiences come not from the typical mass-produced gifts, but from local crafts that tell a story and remind them of the place.
32.(2.5分)What is the primary function of Jia Ma?
A.Attracting tourists. B.Recording historical figures.
C.Expressing hope for good things. D.Decorating homes during festivals.
33.(2.5分)Why does the author mention the “God of Easy Gains”?
A.To prove the shift of public interest.
B.To suggest the appearance of new gods.
C.To show that Jia Ma now includes popular elements.
D.To stress the connection between original and modern patterns.
34.(2.5分)What makes Jia Ma fridge magnets popular among tourists?
A.They come in bilingual versions.
B.They date back to the Han Dynasty.
C.They are inexpensive and easy to carry.
D.They combine personal travel experience and local culture.
35.(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A Woodblock Art: Jia Ma in Han Dynasty
B.Jia Ma: An Old Tradition with a Modern Taste
C.Popular Souvenirs for Tourists in Yunnan Province
D.The Cultural Themes and Patterns of Traditional Jia Ma
(本题12.5分) When we think about cultural heritage preservation, it’s not just about keeping old buildings standing. It is a joint effort to protect the story of our history and identity. Think of it like a quilt: Each patch represents a piece of our past. 36(2.5分) Around the world, effective strategies help keep our shared heritage safe for future generations.
Community and education. When people feel connected to their cultural landmarks, they’re more likely to protect them with their own hands and hearts. 37(2.5分) Meanwhile, education empowers younger generations to become future protectors. For example, schools in South Africa that teach children about their historical roots have led to more community-led initiatives.
38(2.5分) Modern tools are changing the way we protect heritage. 3D laser scanning allows archaeologists to record sites in great detail, as seen in Jordan’s ancient city of Petra. This helps create digital copies of fragile structures. Meanwhile, sustainable tourism makes sure that visitors don’t harm the heritage they come to see. A recent study found that 60% of tourists are willing to pay more to support sustainable practices.
Laws and partnerships. Strong rules matter. Greece has strict laws with heavy fines to protect sites and stop illegal digging. Also, partnerships between local governments and non-governmental organizations help improve conservation efforts by sharing resources and knowledge. The partnership between Indonesia and the Global Heritage Fund to restore Borobudur’s ancient temples has protected the site. 39(2.5分)
Adaptive reuse. This creative approach gives old buildings a new purpose while keeping their historical value. The High Line in New York City, an abandoned railway turned into a lively public park, keeps its historical value while serving today’s city life. 40(2.5分) They show that preservation and progress can go hand in hand. Many other cities are now following this example, turning old factories into museums or ancient warehouses into community centers.
A.Science and practice.
B.Technology and tourism.
C.Losing any of them means losing part of the story.
D.This will offer people more chances to know themselves.
E.In Italy, residents of Pompeii regularly volunteer for restoration projects.
F.Such a method supports both cultural appreciation and urban development.
G.Besides, it boosted local economies through tourism, creating jobs for nearby villagers.

六、书面表达
67.(本题25分)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。
My grandfather is a master of Nixing Pottery (坭兴陶), a craft passed down through four generations in our family. Growing up in Qinzhou, I spent hours in his studio, amazed at how a simple piece of clay could become an elegant teapot under his weathered hands. To me, the hands held magic.
However, things are gradually changing nowadays. My world was filled with coding, 3D modeling software, and news about AI. During a recent visit home, I noticed Grandpa struggling with a complex traditional design. His glasses were fogged from the heat of the kiln (窑), and his hands trembled slightly as he carved fine details.
“Grandpa, there is an app for that now,” I joked, showing him my tablet. On the screen was a generative AI program that could create thousands of pottery designs in seconds. “This could help you imagine new patterns.” I pulled up a modern vase design generated by AI. “We could even use a 3D printer for the rough shape, and then you do the finishing touches. It’s what they call new quality productive forces—using technology to upgrade traditional industries!”
To my surprise, Grandpa didn’t look impressed. He put down his carving knife and gazed at me, his eyes filled with pride and concern. “So, the machine creates pottery, and I just touch it up?” he asked quietly. “Your new forces might be fast, but can they feel the clay? Do they know that purple clay from the east bank has a different quality than the clay from the west?” He gestured to the stack (一堆) of his life’s work. “A real piece of Nixing Pottery carries the potter’s patience and our family’s stories. I’m not against progress, but I fear we’re losing the soul.”
I looked at the perfect but cold image on my screen, and then at the half-finished teapot on his wheel—uneven, yet warm and alive. Confusion washed over me. Was I right to bring technology home, or was I threatening the heritage I loved?
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I stared at the teapot and had an idea.
