As a professional “Clowndoctor (小丑医生) ,” Lucy was already an expert in the art of non-verbal (非语言的) communication. Many years before her daughter arrived, she had performed in a Norwegian circus, where she learned to connect with audiences using only gestures and facial expressions. Back in Scotland, she joined Hearts & Minds, a charity providing Clowndoctor for pupils with additional support needs in hospitals and schools. For Lucy, a trained actor, this was the ideal occupation. She took on the character of “Dr. Beatz”. Working in pairs, these red-nose wearing clowns visit children facing serious injuries or complex health challenges. “When we put the nose on, we become an incredible character, who reduces fear and anxiety, helping young patients feel safe in a strange environment,” Lucy explains. “The clown can connect in ways others can’t.” She also recalls how, in Norway, the culture of circus and clown was completely engrained in society, which shaped her understanding of the profession. Lucy’s work also extends to the “Elderflowers” program, designed for elderly people with dementia (痴呆). In this role, she becomes a character named Dotty. Unlike the strict environment of a hospital ward, the Elderflower program lets patients take charge. They often lead the performance, which greatly boosts their confidence and sense of self. “It is a true honour to be part of someone’s care journey,” says Lucy, who now also helps train new performers for the team. After 15 years, Lucy finds the jobs as rewarding as ever. Interestingly, her professional skills have greatly benefited her personal life. Clowning gave her the insight to parent her deaf daughter in a natural, non-verbal way. For Lucy, being a clown is about more than just magic tricks; it is about being honest, open and present. Whether she is visiting a sick child or an elderly person, her goal remains the same — to create a bridge of understanding that words alone cannot build. 24. What helped Lucy most as a Clowndoctor? A. Her training in the charity. B. Her experience in parenting. C. Her passion for performance. D. Her background in the circus. 25. What does the underlined word “engrained” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Planted. B. Ignored. C. Hidden. D. Transformed. 26. What does being a clown mean to Lucy? A. It cures the patients. B. It builds connections. C. It amuses the audience. D. It supports her family. 27. Which of the following best describes Lucy? A. Caring and committed. B. Honest and independent. C. Cheerful and ambitious. D. Humorous and confident. C The Arctic is warming four times faster than most other parts of the world, leading to quick loss of seasonal sea ice and creating alarming climate influences. The UK government has funded Real Ice, a startup, to carry out large-scale trials to make Arctic sea ice thicker in Cambridge Bay, Canadian Arctic The project hopes to restore the planet’s natural reflective protection by strengthening existing ice cover. During Arctic winters, crews drill through ice and apply underwater pumps to flood the ice surface with seawater, which freezes instantly at–30℃ to form an extra ice layer. Systems controlled by drones reduce on-site labor needs. In the previous small-scale 2024–2025 trial covering 250,000 m2, treated ice gained 30 cm average thickness and survived 7–10 days longer than natural ice when summer melting came. Supporters maintain that seawater flooding is milder than many other thorough and complete climate-control geoengineering like aerosol (气溶胶) injection, merely strengthening natural freezing. Thickened ice protects polar bear habitats and local people’s travel routes while slowing the rise of sea levels. Many environmental bloggers and creators regard it as a practical, actionable and effective climate restoration measure. However, many international ocean scientists and ecologists oppose the project, pointing out severe hidden ecological risks. The pumped seawater brings salty liquid which changes ice salt levels and destroys ice algae—the foundation of the Arctic food chain. They also stress that thickened ice will melt completely in summer and fails to address the root cause of climate trouble: too much gas emission (排放). Critics also warn that the technology promotes people’s false reliance on geoengineering and weakens political will for deep emission cuts. Drone and pump operations disturb ocean currents and wildlife migration. And limited climate funding may flow away from carbon reduction and ecosystem conservation to these experimental geoengineering. 28. What does the project aim to do? A. Restore polar bear habitat. B. Help address climate issues. C. Lower global temperature. D. Test the quality of artificial ice. 29. Which aspect of the project does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Its challenge and limitations. B. Its result and impact. C. Its purpose and significance. D. Its method and outcome. 30. What would ecologists probably advocate? A. Doing more research on the issue. B. Increasing geoengineering funding. C. Promoting deep emission reduction. D. Encouraging diverse geoengineering. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Geoengineering: Hope for the Future B. Sea Ice Thickening: Savior or Disaster C. Seawater Flooding: A New Technology D. Climate Experiments: To Leave or to Stay D Last autumn, science fiction writer Chen Qiufan began an interesting cooperation with AI. He wrote one sentence, and AI generated the next. But whenever AI suggested a direction, he intentionally went the other way. This tug-of-war (拔河) became his short story The Magic Brush. The story follows a blocked writer who turns to AI for help. Yet the machine only calculates the most statistically probable combination of words — the “most reasonable” choice. Literature, however, is born in unreasonable moments and in a writer’s effort against commonplace. “AI is an extremely powerful engine of ordinariness, which is precisely what a writer tries hard to resist,” Chen said. This may be the key to understanding AI and literature. A popular set of classic books with pictures, A Picture Book of World Literature Masterpieces, is being reimagined as AI-powered short dramas. First published in 1988, it includes about 12,000 paintings, covering 97 world literary works, from One Thousand and One Nights to War and Peace. For nearly forty years, readers have entered world literature through these volumes. Now AI brings the still pictures to life. It finds the main plot, character dynamics and artistic style of the originals, then reshapes them into short dramas for mobile screens. A classic that once took days can now reveal its soul within a commute (通勤). The same urge produced Gu Yanwu, an AI short drama released this May. Its ten two minute episodes visually reconstruct the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and trace (追踪) the intellectual journey of this Confucian scholar. This is not history as entertainment but scholarship given wings through art. As AI develops rapidly, how we read and what reading does to us feels more urgent than ever. The value of books is not measured by paper but by the lives behind every single volume — lives spent watching, feeling and writing. Let AI be a guide, leading more readers to the shore of literature. And then — let them walk in on their own. 32. Why did Chen Qiufan go against AI’s suggestions? A. To make his story unique. B. To help AI improve its writing. C. To test AI’s writing ability. D. To create a more reasonable plot. 33. What can be inferred about AI writing from Chen’s view? A. It’s hard to produce classics. B. It outperforms human writers. C. It provides complicated words. D. It’s a powerful tool for writers. 34. Why does the author mention the 1988 picture book? A. To stress pictures over words. B. To show AI brings classics closer. C. To prove printed books’ value. D. To explain AI dramas’ great appeal. 35. What does the author imply regarding literature in the last paragraph? A. AI helps literary appreciation. B. AI redefines the value of books. C. Readers’ active engagement counts. D. Literary meaning is set by authors. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In a world filled with digital devices, the library is still a very relevant and exciting place. Visiting the library is one of the most valuable experiences a parent can offer a child. 36 Taking kids to the library offers benefits beyond borrowing books. 37 You can read them right there on a comfortable couch or take them home with a card. Nothing beats holding a book in your own hands. Even walking around the library inspires organic curiosity, as a child can be exposed to new topics and get curious about things they hadn’t thought about before. 38 In a library, a child can potentially reach so much more. A library is more than a book storehouse. 39 You can explore books, speak to the librarian, or attend a lecture. Most of all, you can enjoy the special atmosphere of this public space. It’s a place for all kinds of people, just as it is for all kinds of books. Giving your child that experience of being in a diverse public space is priceless. 40 Learning about which types of books they enjoy is a journey of self-discovery. Having the responsibility of returning books on time can be a new experience as well. The library can become a place of dreams and possibility for a child, so if you’re looking for rewarding activities this winter, make your local library your top choice. A. It’s also a unique social space for visitors. B. Borrowing books helps children find more new topics. C. Libraries provide a quiet place for parents and children. D. Going to the library can also teach children about themselves. E. It can be a place filled with imagination, learning and of course books. F. School educates students on a variety of subjects but even those are limited. G. The most obvious benefit is the completely deep reading experience for kids. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 For years, I have believed in interconnectedness — the idea that leaning on one another makes us stronger.

However, the whole journey turned out to be far from easy. She could not speak fluent English, had almost no savings in hand, and did not know a single person in this totally unfamiliar country. The moment she stepped off the plane, the cold, cruel reality hit her hard. Finding a satisfying job was a huge challenge. Most employers demanded relevant work experience, and many turned her down directly because of the language barrier. With little money left, she had to accept lowpaying jobs, working long tiring hours as a dishwasher and cleaning houses day in and day out just to barely survive. Despite all those painful struggles, Ana never gave up her dream. Every night after her exhausting shift, she squeezed out precious spare time to learn English. She took free online lessons and borrowed various reading books from the local public library. She firmly knew that she must keep learning and adapt herself to the brandnew environment if she wanted to succeed. One evening, while cleaning an office building, Ana overheard two employees chatting about an entrylevel opening within their company. It called for good communication skills. Though unsure of her own ability, she gathered up the courage to ask about the position. Touched by her strong determination, the two kind-hearted workers gave her sincere encouragement and advised her to hand in an application. With the limited English she had gradually gained through constant efforts, she prepared her resume with great care and practised much for the upcoming interview. 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。 On the big day, she walked into the office, nervous but determined.
