While many 13-year-old boys might spend their summers playing games or attending camp, Oliver Taylor decided to build a 3D-printed beehive (蜂箱) in an empty room. Oliver started out, like many little kids, with Lego sets. He received his first basic 3D printer when he turned 8. He then quickly learned how to use open-source software to make his own designs. When he turned 11, Oliver got a heavy-duty Prusa printer, which he has used to create lots of different objects.
Oliver is familiar with bees — his family already has several traditional outdoor hives. He was inspired to make a smaller indoor model after coming across a similar design online. Early in the process, Oliver noticed a problem with the design online. It had only one door on each side of the hive, which increased the risk of bees rushing out. Oliver’s method was to add a second door. The hives, which hang on the wall with hooks (钩), are easily taken down. That’s also helpful if Oliver needs to quickly protect the hive from a group of attacking bees.
Oliver says he left his dad in charge of “babysitting” the hive while he was away on a trip. At the time, the hive had a small hole in one area that would shortly appear if the sugar water levels dropped too low. Oliver’s dad opened the door and found around 100 bees flying around, and he carefully guided them into the beehive. Oliver’s mom is actually nervous around bees, but she puts on a bee suit to help him when necessary.
Oliver says he wants to set up a honey extraction (提取) system. That opens the possibility of selling honey made by bees in a 3D-printed hive. This idea could turn beekeeping into an eco-friendly business. By marketing locally sourced 3D-hive honey, the system shows how youth led projects can deal with food supply challenges. Oliver hopes this could inspire others to try beekeeping in new ways.
41. What do we know about young Oliver?
A. He comes from a family of engineers. B. He is poor at traditional outdoor sports.
C. He has received formal science training. D. He enjoys working on inventive projects.
42. What is the main benefit of Oliver’s indoor beehive?
A. It saves much wall space. B. It improves management of bees.
C. It reduces daily care requirements. D. It allows year-round honey production.
43. What is Oliver’s parents’ attitude towards his beekeeping hobby?
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Frightened. D. Supportive.
44. What positive change will Oliver’s honey extraction system bring?
A. Localizing green food production. B. Applying 3D printing in other fields.
C. Strengthening honey quality control. D. Lowering the market prices of honey.
45. The author wrote the text to ________.
A. explain the benefits of indoor beehives B. call on people to protect valuable insects
C. encourage research on new farming technology D. highlight a teen’s creative beekeeping designs
C
A new artificial intelligence tool may be able to prevent cheating and help art historians determine the original creators behind particular paintings.
While previous projects used a form of machine learning to identify artists based on the analysis of high resolution (高分辨率) images of the paintings, the new system uses topographical scans of the canvases (画布的地形扫描). “How paints come off the single brush hair is indicative of an artist’s brushwork or brushstrokes (笔法), which can show his or her unintentional style,” said Kenneth Singer, a physicist at Case Western Reserve University.
To test the AI system, four art students each painted yellow flowers using the same brushes, paints and canvases. Researchers scanned the surfaces of the paintings using a special tool, creating precise 3D surface height data showing how the paints lay on the canvases, and digitally broke them into tiny parts, ranging from one-half millimeter to a few centimeters square. The machine learning system analyzed randomized samples and then sorted them by the artist with a high level of accuracy.
“We broke a painting down into virtual parts ranging from a half millimeter to a few centimeters square, so we no longer even have information about the subject matter,” says Michael Hinczewski, the co-author of the study. “But we can accurately predict who painted it from an individual part. That’s amazing.”
In additional research, the team used the AI tool to try to distinguish original parts of the 17th century painting Portrait of Juan Pardo de Tavera by El Greco from sections that were damaged during the Spanish Civil War and repaired later. The team’s next project is to analyze two paintings by El Greco in the hope of distinguishing portions painted by himself, by his son Jorge Manuel, by other members of his workshop, and by later conservators.
The workshop system employed by El Greco was used by many of the European Old Masters. Starting in the 15th century, master artists began bringing together students and assistants to produce work. The new technology may be able to help art historians figure out details of how collaborations worked, as well as helping determine the genuineness of works for sale on the market.
46. What can we know about previous projects determining original painters?
A. They paid great attention to canvases.
B. They could figure out painters’ unintentional style.
C. They could evaluate tiny sections of the paintings.
D. They had high requirements for images of the paintings.
47. How does the new system identify a painting?
A. By comparing differences in paints. B. By checking raw materials of its canvas.
C. By analyzing the brushstrokes of the artist. D. By producing and breaking down its copy digitally.
48. What will the team do about El Greco’s paintings?
A. Identify their co-creators. B. Help repair the damage.
C. Discover their collectors. D. Confirm their contributions.
49. What’s the author’s attitude towards the new technology?
A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Objective. D. Worried.
50. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. An AI Tool Reproduces Rare Paintings B. An AI Tool May Help Repair Paintings
C. New Tech Can Distinguish Brushwork D. New Tech Promotes Workshop Cooperation
D
Ask most people what “the good life” involves, and they will quickly list material benefits — wealth, lasting friendship, a satisfying career and stable family bonds. Even Aristotle, who argued that happiness lies in the cultivation of virtue and consistent self-discipline, admitted that certain external goods serve as necessary foundations for happiness rather than being identical to happiness itself. Without basic resources and decent social connections, it becomes extremely hard for people to fully exercise their virtues and achieve genuine life satisfaction.
If we compare how satisfying different people’s lives feel, it seems natural to count valuable possessions and measurable achievements, and see who owns more of them. Let’s imagine two novelists, Clara and Iris. Clara struggles for decades, suffering repeated rejections, unstable income and countless moments of self-doubt. She finally publishes a groundbreaking great novel and wins a major national literary prize shortly before retirement. Iris, however, gains instant fame with her first published book and earns handsome rewards and widespread media attention right away. But as time passes, she gradually loses public attention and creative inspiration. In the end, she retires without further notable works, and her early glory slowly fades from public memory.
These two writers’ lives, much like their names, are mirror-images. Clara and Iris both seem to have lived lives of equal net value. Yet most of us would judge that the sequence of ups and downs makes a huge difference to how we evaluate their lives. Someone who reaches a mountain peak after a long tough climb will feel a stronger sense of accomplishment than another person who gets to the same peak by cable car. In that sense, we tend to regard Clara’s life as better, for her victories feel far more hard-earned than Iris’s early success.
But that is not the whole story. The life story’s narrative itself carries weight. A life marked by early success followed by steady decline generally strikes us as less satisfying than a life where success arrives late in life. We value happy endings, not merely happy moments scattered across the years. We instinctively care about the direction a life takes, not just the total amount of joy it contains.
This immediate judgement supports what scholars call the “shape of life” hypothesis. According to this theory, living a good life is not just about collecting positive experiences, but arranging them in a proper order. The hypothesis suggests our lives are not simply containers filled with good or bad events. The curve of one’s life story — its narrative shape — also counts. Without a satisfying shape, even a whole life filled with wonderful moments may turn into a story we would never wish to live.
51. What can we learn about Aristotle’s opinion on happiness?
A. External goods help lay the groundwork for happiness.
B. Virtuous people are certain to achieve lasting happiness.
C. Wealth and fame are equal to true happiness.
D. Happy people care little about material gains.
52. According to the text, what do both Clara and Iris experience?
A. They start their career with poor family backgrounds.
B. They achieve literary success in their career.
C. They recover from identical career failures.
D. They retire with great honour from the publishing industry.
53. What does the author intend to show with the mountain climbing example?
A. Easy success is usually admired by the public.
B. There exist different ways to reach the same goal.
C. Success gained through hardship is more valued.
D. Ambition matters most on the road to success.
54. When writing Paragraph 4, the author aims to ________.
A. introduce a brand-new topic B. draw a final conclusion
C. deepen the argument D. offer new supporting evidence
55. What is the best title for the passage?
A. To Shape Your Life With Kind Acts B. Understanding the Shape of a Good Life
C. Necessary Elements of a Fulfilling Life D. How We Create a Satisfying Life Story

阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Like many women, I loved shopping. In my teen years, I spent much time hanging around in stores and buying clothes. Years later, I had something I didn’t have as a teenager — credit cards. Armed with them, I could shop for clothes for hours every several days, returning home with many bargains (减价品).
Eventually one day — when it happened to be my 37th birthday, I was forced to take a closer look at my problem. I found my storeroom had too many clothes. I had gone from a bargain shopper to a shopping addict whose battle cry was “Purchase (购买) one if it was on sale; purchase two if there was a clearance sale.” I bought too many unnecessary clothes. I was clearly frittering away money. It was time to take action to give up the bad habit and save money.
I pulled each piece of my clothing out of my storeroom and tried to divide the clothes into different types. After efforts of three hours on my 37th birthday, my clothes were divided into four types. Clothing never worn would be returned to the store. Worn-out clothing would go directly into the garbage can. Anything still in good condition but the wrong size, style or color for me would be donated to organizations. The remainder would be returned to my storeroom.
After cleaning out the storeroom, I determined I would try not to buy new clothes. Now dressing each morning has become a much simpler task since it’s easier to both find and select clothes. Housecleaning has also become easier once I no longer have to move boxes and bags of clothing to accomplish the task. Weekends are much freer as well once I don’t spend so much time shopping. With more spare time, I make frequent trips to the library and catch up on my reading. I’ve renewed old friendships and increased my travel to nature. And I’ve been playing more sports.
56. What change did credit cards bring to the author? (no more than 5 words)

While many 13-year-old boys might spend their summers playing games or attending camp, Oliver Taylor decided to build a 3D-printed beehive (蜂箱) in an empty room. Oliver started out, like many little kids, with Lego sets. He received his first basic 3D printer when he turned 8. He then quickly learned how to use open-source software to make his own designs. When he turned 11, Oliver got a heavy-duty Prusa printer, which he has used to create lots of different objects.
Oliver is familiar with bees — his family already has several traditional outdoor hives. He was inspired to make a smaller indoor model after coming across a similar design online. Early in the process, Oliver noticed a problem with the design online. It had only one door on each side of the hive, which increased the risk of bees rushing out. Oliver’s method was to add a second door. The hives, which hang on the wall with hooks (钩), are easily taken down. That’s also helpful if Oliver needs to quickly protect the hive from a group of attacking bees.
Oliver says he left his dad in charge of “babysitting” the hive while he was away on a trip. At the time, the hive had a small hole in one area that would shortly appear if the sugar water levels dropped too low. Oliver’s dad opened the door and found around 100 bees flying around, and he carefully guided them into the beehive. Oliver’s mom is actually nervous around bees, but she puts on a bee suit to help him when necessary.
Oliver says he wants to set up a honey extraction (提取) system. That opens the possibility of selling honey made by bees in a 3D-printed hive. This idea could turn beekeeping into an eco-friendly business. By marketing locally sourced 3D-hive honey, the system shows how youth led projects can deal with food supply challenges. Oliver hopes this could inspire others to try beekeeping in new ways.
41. What do we know about young Oliver?
A. He comes from a family of engineers. B. He is poor at traditional outdoor sports.
C. He has received formal science training. D. He enjoys working on inventive projects.
42. What is the main benefit of Oliver’s indoor beehive?
A. It saves much wall space. B. It improves management of bees.
C. It reduces daily care requirements. D. It allows year-round honey production.
43. What is Oliver’s parents’ attitude towards his beekeeping hobby?
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Frightened. D. Supportive.
44. What positive change will Oliver’s honey extraction system bring?
A. Localizing green food production. B. Applying 3D printing in other fields.
C. Strengthening honey quality control. D. Lowering the market prices of honey.
45. The author wrote the text to ________.
A. explain the benefits of indoor beehives B. call on people to protect valuable insects
C. encourage research on new farming technology D. highlight a teen’s creative beekeeping designs
【答案】41. D 42. B 43. D 44. A 45. D

【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Oliver says he left his dad in charge of “babysitting” the hive while he was away on a trip.(奥利弗说他外出旅行时,让爸爸负责照看蜂箱。)”和“Oliver’s mom is actually nervous around bees, but she puts on a bee suit to help him when necessary.(奥利弗的妈妈其实害怕蜜蜂,但必要时她会穿上防蜂服来帮忙。)”可知,Oliver的父母支持他的养蜂爱好。
【44题详解】

A new artificial intelligence tool may be able to prevent cheating and help art historians determine the original creators behind particular paintings.
While previous projects used a form of machine learning to identify artists based on the analysis of high resolution (高分辨率) images of the paintings, the new system uses topographical scans of the canvases (画布的地形扫描). “How paints come off the single brush hair is indicative of an artist’s brushwork or brushstrokes (笔法), which can show his or her unintentional style,” said Kenneth Singer, a physicist at Case Western Reserve University.
To test the AI system, four art students each painted yellow flowers using the same brushes, paints and canvases. Researchers scanned the surfaces of the paintings using a special tool, creating precise 3D surface height data showing how the paints lay on the canvases, and digitally broke them into tiny parts, ranging from one-half millimeter to a few centimeters square. The machine learning system analyzed randomized samples and then sorted them by the artist with a high level of accuracy.
“We broke a painting down into virtual parts ranging from a half millimeter to a few centimeters square, so we no longer even have information about the subject matter,” says Michael Hinczewski, the co-author of the study. “But we can accurately predict who painted it from an individual part. That’s amazing.”
In additional research, the team used the AI tool to try to distinguish original parts of the 17th century painting Portrait of Juan Pardo de Tavera by El Greco from sections that were damaged during the Spanish Civil War and repaired later. The team’s next project is to analyze two paintings by El Greco in the hope of distinguishing portions painted by himself, by his son Jorge Manuel, by other members of his workshop, and by later conservators.
The workshop system employed by El Greco was used by many of the European Old Masters. Starting in the 15th century, master artists began bringing together students and assistants to produce work. The new technology may be able to help art historians figure out details of how collaborations worked, as well as helping determine the genuineness of works for sale on the market.
46. What can we know about previous projects determining original painters?
A. They paid great attention to canvases.
B. They could figure out painters’ unintentional style.
C. They could evaluate tiny sections of the paintings.
D. They had high requirements for images of the paintings.
47. How does the new system identify a painting?
A. By comparing differences in paints. B. By checking raw materials of its canvas.
C. By analyzing the brushstrokes of the artist. D. By producing and breaking down its copy digitally.
48. What will the team do about El Greco’s paintings?
A. Identify their co-creators. B. Help repair the damage.
C. Discover their collectors. D. Confirm their contributions.
49. What’s the author’s attitude towards the new technology?
A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Objective. D. Worried.
50. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. An AI Tool Reproduces Rare Paintings B. An AI Tool May Help Repair Paintings
C. New Tech Can Distinguish Brushwork D. New Tech Promotes Workshop Cooperation

Ask most people what “the good life” involves, and they will quickly list material benefits — wealth, lasting friendship, a satisfying career and stable family bonds. Even Aristotle, who argued that happiness lies in the cultivation of virtue and consistent self-discipline, admitted that certain external goods serve as necessary foundations for happiness rather than being identical to happiness itself. Without basic resources and decent social connections, it becomes extremely hard for people to fully exercise their virtues and achieve genuine life satisfaction.
If we compare how satisfying different people’s lives feel, it seems natural to count valuable possessions and measurable achievements, and see who owns more of them. Let’s imagine two novelists, Clara and Iris. Clara struggles for decades, suffering repeated rejections, unstable income and countless moments of self-doubt. She finally publishes a groundbreaking great novel and wins a major national literary prize shortly before retirement. Iris, however, gains instant fame with her first published book and earns handsome rewards and widespread media attention right away. But as time passes, she gradually loses public attention and creative inspiration. In the end, she retires without further notable works, and her early glory slowly fades from public memory.
These two writers’ lives, much like their names, are mirror-images. Clara and Iris both seem to have lived lives of equal net value. Yet most of us would judge that the sequence of ups and downs makes a huge difference to how we evaluate their lives. Someone who reaches a mountain peak after a long tough climb will feel a stronger sense of accomplishment than another person who gets to the same peak by cable car. In that sense, we tend to regard Clara’s life as better, for her victories feel far more hard-earned than Iris’s early success.
But that is not the whole story. The life story’s narrative itself carries weight. A life marked by early success followed by steady decline generally strikes us as less satisfying than a life where success arrives late in life. We value happy endings, not merely happy moments scattered across the years. We instinctively care about the direction a life takes, not just the total amount of joy it contains.
This immediate judgement supports what scholars call the “shape of life” hypothesis. According to this theory, living a good life is not just about collecting positive experiences, but arranging them in a proper order. The hypothesis suggests our lives are not simply containers filled with good or bad events. The curve of one’s life story — its narrative shape — also counts. Without a satisfying shape, even a whole life filled with wonderful moments may turn into a story we would never wish to live.
51. What can we learn about Aristotle’s opinion on happiness?
A. External goods help lay the groundwork for happiness.
B. Virtuous people are certain to achieve lasting happiness.
C. Wealth and fame are equal to true happiness.
D. Happy people care little about material gains.
52. According to the text, what do both Clara and Iris experience?
A. They start their career with poor family backgrounds.
B. They achieve literary success in their career.
C. They recover from identical career failures.
D. They retire with great honour from the publishing industry.
53. What does the author intend to show with the mountain climbing example?
A. Easy success is usually admired by the public.
B. There exist different ways to reach the same goal.
C. Success gained through hardship is more valued.
D. Ambition matters most on the road to success.
54. When writing Paragraph 4, the author aims to ________.
A. introduce a brand-new topic B. draw a final conclusion
C. deepen the argument D. offer new supporting evidence
55. What is the best title for the passage?
A. To Shape Your Life With Kind Acts B. Understanding the Shape of a Good Life

【答案】51. A 52. B 53. C 54. C 55. B

【导语】本文讲述人们评判美好生活时,不只是计算快乐体验的总量,人生经历的先后顺序、故事走向也就是“人生形态”同样十分重要,阐释了“人生形态假说”。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Even Aristotle, who argued that happiness lies in the cultivation of virtue and consistent self-discipline, admitted that certain external goods serve as necessary foundations for happiness rather than being identical to happiness itself.(就连亚里士多德都认为幸福在于德行的培养与持续的自律,他也承认某些外在事物是幸福的必要基础,而不等同于幸福本身。)”可知,外在物质有助于为幸福打下基础。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“She finally publishes a groundbreaking great novel and wins a major national literary prize shortly before retirement. Iris, however, gains instant fame with her first published book and earns handsome rewards and widespread media attention right away.(她(克拉拉)最终出版了一部具有开创性的伟大小说,并在退休前不久斩获一项全国重要文学奖项。艾瑞斯凭借首部出版的作品一举成名,立刻收获丰厚回报与广泛的媒体关注。)”可知,克拉拉和艾瑞斯在职业生涯中都取得了文学上的成功。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Someone who reaches a mountain peak after a long tough climb will feel a stronger sense of accomplishment than another person who gets to the same peak by cable car. In that sense, we tend to regard Clara's life as better, for her victories feel far more hard-earned than Iris's early success.(经过漫长艰难攀登抵达山顶的人,会比乘坐缆车抵达同一山顶的人拥有更强的成就感。从这个角度来说,我们往往认为克拉拉的人生更好,因为她的胜利远比艾瑞斯早早得来的成功更加来之不易。)”可知,作者举登山的例子是为了说明历经艰辛获得的成功更受重视。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“But that is not the whole story. The life story’s narrative itself carries weight.(但这并不是全部。人生故事的叙事本身就有重要意义。)”可知,本段承接上文,进一步拓展观点,深化论证。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“This immediate judgement supports what scholars call the “shape of life” hypothesis. According to this theory, living a good life is not just about collecting positive experiences, but arranging them in a proper order.(这种直观判断印证了学者所说的“人生形态”假说。该理论认为,美好的人生不只是积攒积极的经历,还要把这些经历按合适的顺序排布。)”并结合全文可知,全文围绕理解美好生活的“人生形态”展开,B项“理解美好生活的人生形态”最适合作为文章标题。

第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Like many women, I loved shopping. In my teen years, I spent much time hanging around in stores and buying clothes. Years later, I had something I didn’t have as a teenager — credit cards. Armed with them, I could shop for clothes for hours every several days, returning home with many bargains (减价品).
Eventually one day — when it happened to be my 37th birthday, I was forced to take a closer look at my problem. I found my storeroom had too many clothes. I had gone from a bargain shopper to a shopping addict whose battle cry was “Purchase (购买) one if it was on sale; purchase two if there was a clearance sale.” I bought too many unnecessary clothes. I was clearly frittering away money. It was time to take action to give up the bad habit and save money.
I pulled each piece of my clothing out of my storeroom and tried to divide the clothes into different types. After efforts of three hours on my 37th birthday, my clothes were divided into four types. Clothing never worn would be returned to the store. Worn-out clothing would go directly into the garbage can. Anything still in good condition but the wrong size, style or color for me would be donated to organizations. The remainder would be returned to my storeroom.
After cleaning out the storeroom, I determined I would try not to buy new clothes. Now dressing each morning has become a much simpler task since it’s easier to both find and select clothes. Housecleaning has also become easier once I no longer have to move boxes and bags of clothing to accomplish the task. Weekends are much freer as well once I don’t spend so much time shopping. With more spare time, I make frequent trips to the library and catch up on my reading. I’ve renewed old friendships and increased my travel to nature. And I’ve been playing more sports.

【答案】例文
Live in Harmony with Nature
Dear fellow students,
It is widely acknowledged that nature, our precious home, is becoming increasingly fragile. Human activities like excessive deforestation and industrial pollution have greatly harmed the planet, with many species at risk of disappearance. What worries us most is that many haven’t realized we are part of nature rather than its masters. If we keep breaking natural rules, we will finally pay the price.
From my perspective, it is high time that we took effective action. We should raise our environmental awareness and form low-carbon habits, such as taking green transport and saving resources. Besides, we can call on people around us to protect wildlife. Only when everyone takes responsibility can we live peacefully with nature and create a long-lasting future.
Thank you.
