A
The Age of Exploration was a period when adventurers set out to find new sea routes, a pursuit that fundamentally reshaped humanity’s geographical understanding of the planet. Here are four key figures from different nations whose discoveries had a lasting impact.
Meriwether Lewis
Leading the Lewis and Clark Expedition (航行) (1804-1806), this American explorer was appointed by President Thomas Jefferson to map the newly acquired Louisiana Territory. His team journeyed from the Mississippi River to the Pacific, documenting new species and establishing relations with Native tribes (部落). This journey opened the American West to settlement, connecting the nation from coast to coast.
Ferdinand Magellan
Sailing for Spain, this Portuguese explorer organized the first expedition to encircle the globe in 1519. Though he was killed in the Philippines in 1521, one of his ships completed the voyage in 1522. This historic journey proved the world was round, linked the world’s oceans, and revealed the vastness of the Pacific.
James Cook
This British naval captain led three groundbreaking voyages across the Pacific in the late 18th century. He mapped the eastern coast of Australia, charted New Zealand’s coastline, and explored numerous Pacific islands. Cook’s accurate mappings and scientific observations greatly expanded European knowledge of the Pacific region and established new connections between Europe and the South Pacific.
Marco Polo
This Venetian trader traveled the Silk Road to China in the 13th century, spending 17 years in Asia. His detailed accounts of Asian cultures, technologies, and wealth introduced Europeans to a previously unknown world. His book, The Travels of Marco Polo, inspired generations of future explorers and helped bridge the cultural divide between the East and the West.
1. What did Lewis’ team document?
A. The geography of the Silk Road. B. New species along their journey.
C. Cultural customs in ancient China. D. Asian technologies in the 13th century.
2. Which explorer mapped the eastern coast of Australia?
A. James Cook. B. Marco Polo.
C. Meriwether Lewis D. Ferdinand Magellan.
3. What do the four explorers have in common according to the text?
A. They sailed across the Pacific Ocean.
B. They completed their planned expeditions.
C. Their journeys promoted global connections.
D. Their achievements focused on new land mapping.

Over 400 young ballet dancers from the Northeast recently gathered in Gloucester, Massachusetts, to compete at the Youth America Grand Prix tryouts. Often compared to the American Idol of ballet, this four-day event is a major talent-spotting ground for future stars. Many participants are discovered here and go on to join world-famous companies like the American Ballet Theatre and the Paris Opera Ballet.
The competition featured dancers aged 9 to 19, dressed in colorful clothes with their hair neatly tied. They waited backstage before being called by their number to perform brief solo dances under bright lights. Among them was 15-year-old Karli Wilkinson from Massachusetts, who shared, “I love performing for people and becoming a character when I dance.” She performed to music from Dune in desert-themed performance clothes, adding that she felt excited rather than nervous on stage.
Ana Canelos, a parent from North Falmouth, expressed admiration for the dancers’ devotion: “Dance is often thought of as a light sport, but these kids work so hard each and every day, putting in 20 to 30 hours a week.” She described the event as a “fantastic” opportunity for young performers to showcase their talent.
According to organizers, around 1,200 dancers will be selected from tryouts across the U.S. and around the world to advance to the finals in Tampa, Florida. There, thousands of scholarships will be awarded for short-term, summer, or year-round training at top dance schools globally. Rachel Nye of the Oklahoma City Ballet noted that the event offers “an incredible opportunity for these dancers to be seen by directors of schools and companies.”
Now in its 25th year, the Youth America Grand Prix has awarded over $5 million in scholarships, with about $450,000 distributed annually, helping young dancers pursue their dreams in ballet. The event not only recognizes technical skills but also encourages artistic expression, self-control, and determination among the next generation of performers.

(来自马萨诸塞州15岁的卡莉·威尔金森(Karli Wilkinson)就是其中之一,她说:“我喜欢为人们表演,当我跳舞时,我就成了一个角色。”她穿着沙漠主题的表演服装,伴随着《沙丘》的音乐表演,她补充说,她在舞台上感到兴奋而不是紧张)”可知,Karli Wilkinson穿着沙漠主题的表演服装进行表演。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Ana Canelos, a parent from North Falmouth, expressed admiration for the dancers’ devotion (来自北法尔茅斯的家长安娜·卡内洛斯对舞蹈演员的投入表示钦佩)”以及“She described the event as a “fantastic” opportunity for young performers to showcase their talent. (她形容这次活动是年轻表演者展示才华的“绝佳”机会)”可知,她认为这个活动是展示才华的好机会,说明她对这个活动持“肯定的”态度。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Rachel Nye of the Oklahoma City Ballet noted that the event offers “an incredible opportunity for these dancers to be seen by directors of schools and companies.” (俄克拉荷马城芭蕾舞团的蕾切尔·奈指出,这次活动“为这些舞者提供了一个被学校和公司主管看到的绝佳机会”)”可知,这个活动让舞者有机会被学校和公司负责人看到,即帮助舞者得到专业人士的关注。故选D。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Now in its 25th year, the Youth America Grand Prix has awarded over $5 million in scholarships, with about $450,000 distributed annually, helping young dancers pursue their dreams in ballet.

C
It is commonly believed that we understand our dogs emotions, often interpreting (解读) a waving tail as happiness or whimpering (呜咽) as sadness. However, groundbreaking research from Arizona State University shows that dog owners frequently misinterpret their pets’ feelings by projecting human emotions onto them rather than accurately reading their behavioral signals.
Dogs communicate primarily through body language, facial expressions, and sounds rather than words. According to researchers Holly Molinaro and Clive Wynne, humans tend to judge a dog’s emotional state based on situational context rather than the animal’s actual behavior. To test this idea, they conducted innovative experiments in which participants were shown videos of dogs in various situations — both positive (such as receiving treats) and negative (such as being told off). In some videos, the background was digitally changed to go against the dog’s behavior. The striking results demonstrated that participants relied more on context rather than the dog’s actual actions when judging its emotions.
One of the most common misinterpretations involves the “guilty look”. What owners typically interpret as guilt is actually a fear or submission (服从) response to the owner’s tone or body language, not an understanding of wrongdoing. This fundamental error arises from anthropomorphism — the human tendency to put our own emotions onto animals. Molinaro emphasizes that this misinterpretation can significantly impact training effectiveness and the overall human-dog relationship.
To interpret dogs’ emotions more accurately, owners should focus on individual behavioral signs rather than situational context or human-based assumptions. Researchers recommend developing awareness of our limitations and learning to observe each dog’s unique signals more carefully. Taking extra time to properly read a dog’s body language — rather than making quick judgments based on the situation — can greatly improve communication and strengthen the human-dog connection.
Ultimately, recognizing our built-in blind spots and devoting time to understanding dogs’ real emotional expressions through patient observation are key steps for building deeper, more meaningful, and more trusting relationships with our four-legged friends.
8. What did Molinaro and Wynne do in their experiment?
A. They showed participants videos of dogs.
B. They studied various animals in given conditions.
C. They trained dogs to react to positive situations.
D. They recorded dogs’ sounds in different contexts.
9. Which example from the text illustrates the concept of anthropomorphism?
A. Owners tracking dogs’ everyday behaviors. B. Dogs communicating through body language.
C. The “guilty look” being misinterpreted as guilt. D. Owners improving training effectiveness for dogs.
10. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?
A. Summarize the previous paragraphs. B. Offer some advice for dog owners.
C. Add some background information. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Dogs’ Emotions Are Often Misunderstood B. The Effectiveness of Dog Training Methods
C. Human-Dog Communication Relies on Treats D. Innovative Experiments in Dog Behavior Research
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。亚利桑那州立大学的开创性研究揭示了狗主人常将人类情绪投射给狗狗而误读其情绪,同时给出了准确解读狗狗情绪和构建良好人狗关系的建议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To test this idea, they conducted innovative experiments in which participants were shown videos of dogs in various situations — both positive (such as receiving treats) and negative (such as being told off).(为了验证这一观点,他们进行了创新性的实验。在实验中,参与者观看了有关狗在不同情境下的视频——既有积极的情境(比如收到奖励),也有消极的情境(比如受到斥责))”可知,Molinaro和Wynne在实验中向参与者展示了狗狗的视频。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“One of the most common misinterpretations involves the “guilty look”. What owners typically interpret as guilt is actually a fear or submission (服从) response to the owner’s tone or body language, not an understanding of wrongdoing. This fundamental error arises from anthropomorphism — the human tendency to put our own emotions onto animals. Molinaro emphasizes that this misinterpretation can significantly impact training effectiveness and the overall human-dog relationship.(最常见的误解之一涉及“愧疚的表情”。主人通常认为的“愧疚”其实是一种对主人语气或肢体语言的恐惧或服从反应,并非对错误行为的理解。这种根本性的错误源于拟人化现象——人类将自身的情感投射到动物身上的倾向。莫利纳罗强调,这种误解会极大地影响训练效果以及人与狗之间的整体关系)”可知,主人把狗狗的“内疚表情”误解为内疚,这是将人类特有的内疚情绪赋予狗狗,体现了拟人化概念。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“To interpret dogs’ emotions more accurately, owners should focus on individual behavioral signs rather than situational context or human-based assumptions. Researchers recommend developing awareness of our limitations and learning to observe each dog’s unique signals more carefully. Taking extra time to properly read a dog’s body language — rather than making quick judgments based on the situation — can greatly improve communication and strengthen the human-dog connection.(为了更准确地解读狗狗的情绪,主人应当关注其个体的行为表现,而非情境背景或基于人类的假设。研究人员建议要意识到自身的局限性,并学会更仔细地观察每只狗狗独特的信号。花更多时间去正确解读狗狗的肢体语言——而非根据情境匆忙做出判断——能够极大地改善交流效果,并加强人与狗之间的联系)”可推知,作者在本段给狗主人提供如何更准确地理解狗狗情绪的建议。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“It is commonly believed that we understand our dogs emotions, often interpreting (解读) a waving tail as happiness or whimpering (呜咽) as sadness. However, groundbreaking research from Arizona State University shows that dog owners frequently misinterpret their pets’ feelings by projecting human emotions onto them rather than accurately reading their behavioral signals.(人们普遍认为,我们能够理解狗狗的情绪,通常会将摇摆的尾巴解读为快乐,将呜咽声解读为悲伤。然而,亚利桑那州立大学的开创性研究显示,狗的主人常常会错误地解读它们宠物的情绪,他们将人类的情绪投射到宠物身上,而不是准确地解读它们的行为信号)”可知,文章围绕人们对狗的情绪经常误解这一主题展开,A选项“狗的情绪经常被误解”符合文章主旨。故选A。
D
The rise of AI (artificial intelligence) music creators has brought fresh attention to the future of the music industry. Unlike traditional musicians who depend on instruments, creators such as Oliver McCann use AI chatbots to produce music. Despite lacking musical talent or background, he creates songs in various styles. After one of his tracks hit 3 million streams (播放量), McCann signed with a record label, becoming the first AI-created artist to land such a contract (合同).
Tools like Suno and Udio are driving a new wave of AI-made music, with fully AI-produced group velvet Sundown, new popular online-serving as a striking example. This change not only makes music creation easier for everyone but also raises worries about mass-produced low-quality content and the risk of shaking up the industry.
Generative AI is set to reshape music, yet its impact on the $29.6 billion global recorded music market remains unclear. Data from music streaming service Deezer shows that AI-made songs account for 18% of daily uploads but represent only a tiny share of total streams.
The technology has also divided the music community. Many artists and labels fear copyright infringement (侵权) and the devaluation of human creativity, with major companies like Sony, Universal and Warner bringing legal claims against Suno and Udio, and over 1,000 musicians protesting proposed AI-related law changes in the UK. However, other figures, like will.i.am and Timbaland, have welcomed AI.
Some users draw comparisons between this criticism and past doubts about synthesizers(electronic instruments). Scott Smith, who leads AI band Pulse Empire, views AI as just another tool, and both he and McCann stress the effort needed to improve AI outputs-sometimes requiring dozens of attempts to get a satisfying song. While AI can write songs, users often find them unoriginal and prefer creating their own.
Experts believe AI could enable anyone to produce a hit, significantly lowering barriers to music production. However, legal uncertainties surrounding copyright have created a “Wild West” atmosphere, and as AI gains broader acceptance, it may soon compete on music charts, unlocking new creative possibilities for people worldwide.
12. What does the author want to show by mentioning Oliver McCann in paragraph 1?
A. AI music creators can achieve success. B. He has musical talent and background.
C. Traditional musicians are losing their jobs. D. AI chatbots can’t make various music styles.
13. What can we infer about AI music from paragraph 3?
A. It takes a large share of total streams. B. It pushes global music market growth.
C. It is not widely accepted by audiences. D. Its copyright problems have been solved.
14. What conclusion can be drawn from paragraph 4?
A. AI music has already topped global charts. B. Doubts about synthesizers were reasonable.
C. The UK has passed laws limiting AI music. D. Not all in the music field are against AI music.
15. Which statement would Scott Smith agree with?
A. AI could produce perfect music. B. AI only plays a supportive role.
C. New tools hurt musical creativity. D. Electronic instruments are outdated.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】

Despite lacking musical talent or background, he creates songs in various styles. After one of his tracks hit 3 million streams (播放量), McCann signed with a record label, becoming the first AI-created artist to land such a contract (合同).(人工智能音乐创作者的兴起为音乐行业的未来带来了新的关注焦点。与依赖乐器的传统音乐家不同,像奥利弗·麦卡恩这样的创作者利用人工智能聊天机器人来创作音乐。尽管他没有音乐天赋或背景,但他仍能创作出各种风格的歌曲。在他的一首歌曲播放量达到300万次后,麦卡恩与一家唱片公司签约,成为首位获得此类合同的人工智能创作艺人)”可知,作者提及Oliver McCann是为了表明AI音乐创作者能够取得成功。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Data from music streaming service Deezer shows that AI-made songs account for 18% of daily uploads but represent only a tiny share of total streams.(来自音乐流媒体服务 Deezer 的数据显示,由人工智能创作的歌曲占每日上传歌曲的18%,但在总播放量中所占比例极小)”可知,AI制作的歌曲并没有被观众广泛接受。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“However, other figures, like will.i.am and Timbaland, have welcomed AI.(然而,其他一些人士,比如will.i.am和蒂姆巴兰,却对人工智能表示欢迎)”可推断,并不是音乐领域的所有人都反对AI音乐。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Scott Smith, who leads AI band Pulse Empire, views AI as just another tool, and both he and McCann stress the effort needed to improve AI outputs-sometimes requiring dozens of attempts to get a satisfying song.(斯科特·史密斯是人工智能乐队“脉冲帝国”的领队,他认为人工智能只是另一种工具而已。他和麦卡恩都强调,要提升人工智能的创作成果需要付出大量努力——有时甚至需要尝试数十次才能创作出一首令人满意的歌曲)”可知, Scott Smith认为AI只是起到辅助作用。故选B。
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。
When you get in a car, you expect it will have functioning brakes. When you pick up medicine at the drugstore, you expect it won’t be polluted. But it wasn’t always like this. The safety of these products was terrible when they first came to market. It took much research and regulation to figure out how users can enjoy the benefits of these products without getting harmed. ____16____.
Social media risks are everywhere. The dangers that algorithms (算法) designed to maximize attention represent to teens have become impossible to ignore. Other product design elements, often called “dark patterns,” designed to keep people using for longer, also appear to tip young users into social media overuse. ____17____. They say it’s their users’ fault for engaging with harmful content in the first place, even if those users are children or the content is financial trickery. They also claim to be defending free speech.
____18____. Under the Digital Services Act, which came into effect in Europe this year, platforms are required to take action to stop the spread of illegal content and can be fined up to 6 percent of their global incomes if they don’t do so. If this law is enforced, maintaining the safety of their algorithms and networks will be the most financially sound decision for platforms to make.
Despite these efforts, two things are clear. First, online safety problems are leading to real, offline suffering. Second, social media companies can’t, or won’t, solve these safety problems on their own. ____19____. Even safety issues like cyberbullying (网络霸凌) that we thought were solved can pop right back up. As our society moves online to an ever-greater degree, the idea that anyone, even teens, can just “stay off social media” becomes less and less realistic. ____20____.
A. And those problems aren’t going away
B. The current issues aren’t really about offline suffering
C. Platforms already have systems to remove harmful content
D. Similarly, social media needs product safety standards to keep users safe
E. It’s time we should require social media to take safety seriously, for everyone’s sake
F. Some authorities are taking steps to hold social media platforms accountable for the content
G. Internet platforms, however, have shifted blame on the consumers whenever criticized
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. F 19. A 20. E
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述社交媒体存在安全隐患,平台常推卸责任,需监管督促其重视用户安全。
【16题详解】
由上文“When you get in a car, you expect it will have functioning brakes. When you pick up medicine at the drugstore, you expect it won’t be polluted. But it wasn’t always like this. The safety of these products was terrible when they first came to market. It took much research and regulation to figure out how users can enjoy the benefits of these products without getting harmed. (当你坐进车里,你会期待刹车能正常工作。当你在药店取药时,你会期待药品没有被污染。但事情并非一直如此。这些产品刚上市时安全性极差。人们投入了大量研究与监管,才找到让用户在不受伤害的前提下享受产品益处的方法。)”及下文“Social media risks are everywhere. (社交媒体的风险无处不在。)”可知,上文以汽车、药品的产品安全标准为例铺垫,下文转向社交媒体的安全问题,本空应完成类比过渡,引出社交媒体也需要同类安全标准。D选项“Similarly, social media needs product safety standards to keep users safe. (同样地,社交媒体也需要产品安全标准来保障用户安全。)”能承上启下,符合语境。
【17题详解】
由上文“Other product design elements, often called “dark patterns,”designed to keep people using for longer, also appear to tip young users into social media overuse. (其他常被称为“黑暗模式”的产品设计元素,本意是延长用户使用时长,也会诱导年轻用户过度使用社交媒体。)”及下文“They say it’s their users’ fault for engaging with harmful content in the first place, even if those users are children or the content is financial trickery. They also claim to be defending free speech. (他们声称,从一开始接触有害内容就是用户自己的错,哪怕这些用户是儿童,或是内容属于金融骗局。他们还声称自己是在维护言论自由。)”可知,上文点明社交媒体的设计缺陷带来的风险,下文描述平台推卸责任的话术,本空应引出平台甩锅的转折逻辑。G选项“Internet platforms, however, have shifted blame on the consumers whenever criticized. (然而,互联网平台一旦受到指责,就会把责任推给消费者。)”能衔接前后文,符合语境。
【18题详解】
由下文“Under the Digital Services Act, which came into effect in Europe this year, platforms are required to take action to stop the spread of illegal content and can be fined up to 6 percent of their global incomes if they don’t do so. (根据今年在欧洲生效的《数字服务法案》,平台必须采取行动阻止非法内容传播,若不执行,最高可被处以全球收入6%的罚款。)”可知,下文介绍了监管部门出台的具体约束法案,本空应总起说明监管部门开始采取行动追责平台。F选项“Some authorities are taking steps to hold social media platforms accountable for the content. (部分监管机构正采取措施,要求社交媒体平台对平台内容负责。)”能引出下文的法案细节,符合语境。
【19题详解】
由上文“Despite these efforts, two things are clear. First, online safety problems are leading to real, offline suffering. Second, social media companies can’t, or won’t, solve these safety problems on their own. (尽管做出了这些努力,有两件事是明确的:第一,网络安全问题正在引发真实的线下伤害;第二,社交媒体企业无法也不愿独自解决这些安全问题。)”及下文“Even safety issues like cyberbullying that we thought were solved can pop right back up. (就连我们本以为已经解决的网络霸凌这类安全问题,也会立刻卷土重来。)”可知,上文点明平台不愿独自解决问题,下文举例说明旧问题会反复出现,本空应说明这些安全问题不会自行消失。A选项“And those problems aren’t going away. (而且这些问题根本不会自行消失。)”能衔接前后文,符合语境。
【20题详解】
由上文“As our society moves online to an ever-greater degree, the idea that anyone, even teens, can just “stay off social media”becomes less and less realistic. (随着我们的社会线上化程度越来越高,让任何人,哪怕是青少年,直接“远离社交媒体”的想法也变得越来越不现实。)”可知,上文说明“远离社交媒体”不具备可行性,本空应顺理成章引出最终的呼吁结论,要求平台重视安全问题。E选项“It’s time we should require social media to take safety seriously, for everyone’s sake. (为了所有人的利益,是时候要求社交媒体认真对待安全问题了。)”能总结全文主旨,符合语境。

【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:周三,英文版《(新编)中国通史纲要》和《中华文明简史》在第31届北京国际图书博览会上正式发布。此处修饰动词presented,要用副词形式;official的副词是officially,意为“正式地”。故填officially。

47. 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。
Since entering junior high, I felt lost. The heavy study load and the changing feelings of growing up made me uneasy. My head teacher, Mr. Chen, often tried to talk to me, offering warm smiles and patient advice. However, I kept my heart closed, believing that school was just a place for rules. I answered his care with silence, feeling like an outsider who didn’t belong.
Last month, our school held a film afternoon. To be honest, I wanted to skip it and stay in the classroom. But Mr. Chen stopped me at the door. “Give it a try,” he said with a serious look. “You won’t regret it.” Though I didn’t want to, I followed the class. As Les Choristes began, my doubt slowly disappeared. The story featured a strict headmaster who ruled by punishment. But then, a new teacher, Mathieu, arrived. He didn’t shout. Instead, he started a choir (合唱团) to bring warmth to the school.
Mathieu discovered that a proud boy, Pierre, had a beautiful voice. While others saw only trouble, Mathieu saw talent. He gave Pierre his full trust and patience. Under this trust, Pierre’s eyes lit up, and his singing touched every heart. Sitting in the dark hall, I was deeply moved. I realized that the wall was built by myself, and what I truly needed was to drop my guard and allow the kindness around me to flow in. That night, I opened my notebook and wrote: “A sleeping heart can only be woken when it opens its door to warmth.” The words felt warm, touching something deep inside me.
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。
Thinking of Mr. Chen’s serious words, I finally understood his meaning.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning, I walked into the classroom with a different feeling.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Thinking of Mr. Chen’s serious words, I finally understood his meaning. I went to his office right after the film ended and told him all my true feelings, which I had hidden deep in my heart since the start of junior high. My heart felt light as I spoke out those secret worries. I said that I had always thought no one would notice my unease behind the silent look, but now I knew his patient care was never meaningless. He smiled softly and patted my shoulder, saying he was really glad I finally chose to open my heart.
The next morning, I walked into the classroom with a different feeling. I took a slow breath and calmed myself down. I greeted Mr. Chen softly when I passed his office door, and joined my deskmate to talk about the warm film we watched the day before. I found that the school which I once thought was full of cold strict rules actually had many soft warm little moments around me. I no longer felt like a lonely outsider, and I was fully ready to embrace the new school life ahead.

A
The Age of Exploration was a period when adventurers set out to find new sea routes, a pursuit that fundamentally reshaped humanity’s geographical understanding of the planet. Here are four key figures from different nations whose discoveries had a lasting impact.
Meriwether Lewis
Leading the Lewis and Clark Expedition (航行) (1804-1806), this American explorer was appointed by President Thomas Jefferson to map the newly acquired Louisiana Territory. His team journeyed from the Mississippi River to the Pacific, documenting new species and establishing relations with Native tribes (部落). This journey opened the American West to settlement, connecting the nation from coast to coast.
Ferdinand Magellan
Sailing for Spain, this Portuguese explorer organized the first expedition to encircle the globe in 1519. Though he was killed in the Philippines in 1521, one of his ships completed the voyage in 1522. This historic journey proved the world was round, linked the world’s oceans, and revealed the vastness of the Pacific.
James Cook
This British naval captain led three groundbreaking voyages across the Pacific in the late 18th century. He mapped the eastern coast of Australia, charted New Zealand’s coastline, and explored numerous Pacific islands. Cook’s accurate mappings and scientific observations greatly expanded European knowledge of the Pacific region and established new connections between Europe and the South Pacific.
Marco Polo
This Venetian trader traveled the Silk Road to China in the 13th century, spending 17 years in Asia. His detailed accounts of Asian cultures, technologies, and wealth introduced Europeans to a previously unknown world. His book, The Travels of Marco Polo, inspired generations of future explorers and helped bridge the cultural divide between the East and the West.
1. What did Lewis’ team document?
A. The geography of the Silk Road. B. New species along their journey.
C. Cultural customs in ancient China. D. Asian technologies in the 13th century.
2. Which explorer mapped the eastern coast of Australia?
A. James Cook. B. Marco Polo.
C. Meriwether Lewis D. Ferdinand Magellan.
3. What do the four explorers have in common according to the text?
A. They sailed across the Pacific Ocean.
B. They completed their planned expeditions.
C. Their journeys promoted global connections.
D. Their achievements focused on new land mapping.
B
Over 400 young ballet dancers from the Northeast recently gathered in Gloucester, Massachusetts, to compete at the Youth America Grand Prix tryouts. Often compared to the American Idol of ballet, this four-day event is a major talent-spotting ground for future stars. Many participants are discovered here and go on to join world-famous companies like the American Ballet Theatre and the Paris Opera Ballet.
The competition featured dancers aged 9 to 19, dressed in colorful clothes with their hair neatly tied. They waited backstage before being called by their number to perform brief solo dances under bright lights. Among them was 15-year-old Karli Wilkinson from Massachusetts, who shared, “I love performing for people and becoming a character when I dance.” She performed to music from Dune in desert-themed performance clothes, adding that she felt excited rather than nervous on stage.
Ana Canelos, a parent from North Falmouth, expressed admiration for the dancers’ devotion: “Dance is often thought of as a light sport, but these kids work so hard each and every day, putting in 20 to 30 hours a week.” She described the event as a “fantastic” opportunity for young performers to showcase their talent.
According to organizers, around 1,200 dancers will be selected from tryouts across the U.S. and around the world to advance to the finals in Tampa, Florida. There, thousands of scholarships will be awarded for short-term, summer, or year-round training at top dance schools globally. Rachel Nye of the Oklahoma City Ballet noted that the event offers “an incredible opportunity for these dancers to be seen by directors of schools and companies.”
Now in its 25th year, the Youth America Grand Prix has awarded over $5 million in scholarships, with about $450,000 distributed annually, helping young dancers pursue their dreams in ballet. The event not only recognizes technical skills but also encourages artistic expression, self-control, and determination among the next generation of performers.

It is commonly believed that we understand our dogs emotions, often interpreting (解读) a waving tail as happiness or whimpering (呜咽) as sadness. However, groundbreaking research from Arizona State University shows that dog owners frequently misinterpret their pets’ feelings by projecting human emotions onto them rather than accurately reading their behavioral signals.
Dogs communicate primarily through body language, facial expressions, and sounds rather than words. According to researchers Holly Molinaro and Clive Wynne, humans tend to judge a dog’s emotional state based on situational context rather than the animal’s actual behavior. To test this idea, they conducted innovative experiments in which participants were shown videos of dogs in various situations — both positive (such as receiving treats) and negative (such as being told off). In some videos, the background was digitally changed to go against the dog’s behavior. The striking results demonstrated that participants relied more on context rather than the dog’s actual actions when judging its emotions.
One of the most common misinterpretations involves the “guilty look”. What owners typically interpret as guilt is actually a fear or submission (服从) response to the owner’s tone or body language, not an understanding of wrongdoing. This fundamental error arises from anthropomorphism — the human tendency to put our own emotions onto animals. Molinaro emphasizes that this misinterpretation can significantly impact training effectiveness and the overall human-dog relationship.
To interpret dogs’ emotions more accurately, owners should focus on individual behavioral signs rather than situational context or human-based assumptions. Researchers recommend developing awareness of our limitations and learning to observe each dog’s unique signals more carefully. Taking extra time to properly read a dog’s body language — rather than making quick judgments based on the situation — can greatly improve communication and strengthen the human-dog connection.
Ultimately, recognizing our built-in blind spots and devoting time to understanding dogs’ real emotional expressions through patient observation are key steps for building deeper, more meaningful, and more trusting relationships with our four-legged friends.
8. What did Molinaro and Wynne do in their experiment?
A. They showed participants videos of dogs.
B. They studied various animals in given conditions.
C. They trained dogs to react to positive situations.
D. They recorded dogs’ sounds in different contexts.
9. Which example from the text illustrates the concept of anthropomorphism?

10. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?
A. Summarize the previous paragraphs. B. Offer some advice for dog owners.
C. Add some background information. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Dogs’ Emotions Are Often Misunderstood B. The Effectiveness of Dog Training Methods
C. Human-Dog Communication Relies on Treats D. Innovative Experiments in Dog Behavior Research

The rise of AI (artificial intelligence) music creators has brought fresh attention to the future of the music industry. Unlike traditional musicians who depend on instruments, creators such as Oliver McCann use AI chatbots to produce music. Despite lacking musical talent or background, he creates songs in various styles. After one of his tracks hit 3 million streams (播放量), McCann signed with a record label, becoming the first AI-created artist to land such a contract (合同).
Tools like Suno and Udio are driving a new wave of AI-made music, with fully AI-produced group velvet Sundown, new popular online-serving as a striking example. This change not only makes music creation easier for everyone but also raises worries about mass-produced low-quality content and the risk of shaking up the industry.
Generative AI is set to reshape music, yet its impact on the $29.6 billion global recorded music market remains unclear. Data from music streaming service Deezer shows that AI-made songs account for 18% of daily uploads but represent only a tiny share of total streams.
The technology has also divided the music community. Many artists and labels fear copyright infringement (侵权) and the devaluation of human creativity, with major companies like Sony, Universal and Warner bringing legal claims against Suno and Udio, and over 1,000 musicians protesting proposed AI-related law changes in the UK. However, other figures, like will.i.am and Timbaland, have welcomed AI.
Some users draw comparisons between this criticism and past doubts about synthesizers(electronic instruments). Scott Smith, who leads AI band Pulse Empire, views AI as just another tool, and both he and McCann stress the effort needed to improve AI outputs-sometimes requiring dozens of attempts to get a satisfying song. While AI can write songs, users often find them unoriginal and prefer creating their own.
Experts believe AI could enable anyone to produce a hit, significantly lowering barriers to music production. However, legal uncertainties surrounding copyright have created a “Wild West” atmosphere, and as AI gains broader acceptance, it may soon compete on music charts, unlocking new creative possibilities for people worldwide.
12. What does the author want to show by mentioning Oliver McCann in paragraph 1?
A. AI music creators can achieve success. B. He has musical talent and background.
C. Traditional musicians are losing their jobs. D. AI chatbots can’t make various music styles.
13. What can we infer about AI music from paragraph 3?
A. It takes a large share of total streams. B. It pushes global music market growth.
C. It is not widely accepted by audiences. D. Its copyright problems have been solved.
14. What conclusion can be drawn from paragraph 4?
A. AI music has already topped global charts. B. Doubts about synthesizers were reasonable.
C. The UK has passed laws limiting AI music. D. Not all in the music field are against AI music.
15. Which statement would Scott Smith agree with?
A. AI could produce perfect music. B. AI only plays a supportive role.
C. New tools hurt musical creativity. D. Electronic instruments are outdated.

When you get in a car, you expect it will have functioning brakes. When you pick up medicine at the drugstore, you expect it won’t be polluted. But it wasn’t always like this. The safety of these products was terrible when they first came to market. It took much research and regulation to figure out how users can enjoy the benefits of these products without getting harmed. ____16____.
Social media risks are everywhere. The dangers that algorithms (算法) designed to maximize attention represent to teens have become impossible to ignore. Other product design elements, often called “dark patterns,” designed to keep people using for longer, also appear to tip young users into social media overuse. ____17____. They say it’s their users’ fault for engaging with harmful content in the first place, even if those users are children or the content is financial trickery. They also claim to be defending free speech.

Under the Digital Services Act, which came into effect in Europe this year, platforms are required to take action to stop the spread of illegal content and can be fined up to 6 percent of their global incomes if they don’t do so. If this law is enforced, maintaining the safety of their algorithms and networks will be the most financially sound decision for platforms to make.
Despite these efforts, two things are clear. First, online safety problems are leading to real, offline suffering. Second, social media companies can’t, or won’t, solve these safety problems on their own. ____19____. Even safety issues like cyberbullying (网络霸凌) that we thought were solved can pop right back up.

47. 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。
Since entering junior high, I felt lost. The heavy study load and the changing feelings of growing up made me uneasy. My head teacher, Mr. Chen, often tried to talk to me, offering warm smiles and patient advice. However, I kept my heart closed, believing that school was just a place for rules. I answered his care with silence, feeling like an outsider who didn’t belong.
Last month, our school held a film afternoon. To be honest, I wanted to skip it and stay in the classroom. But Mr. Chen stopped me at the door. “Give it a try,” he said with a serious look. “You won’t regret it.” Though I didn’t want to, I followed the class. As Les Choristes began, my doubt slowly disappeared. The story featured a strict headmaster who ruled by punishment. But then, a new teacher, Mathieu, arrived. He didn’t shout. Instead, he started a choir (合唱团) to bring warmth to the school.
Mathieu discovered that a proud boy, Pierre, had a beautiful voice. While others saw only trouble, Mathieu saw talent. He gave Pierre his full trust and patience. Under this trust, Pierre’s eyes lit up, and his singing touched every heart. Sitting in the dark hall, I was deeply moved. I realized that the wall was built by myself, and what I truly needed was to drop my guard and allow the kindness around me to flow in. That night, I opened my notebook and wrote: “A sleeping heart can only be woken when it opens its door to warmth.” The words felt warm, touching something deep inside me.
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。
Thinking of Mr. Chen’s serious words, I finally understood his meaning.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning, I walked into the classroom with a different feeling.
