It started in a jeep, on an ordinary ride home from school. Sixth grader Harrison Burgess sat in the car, with his dad listening to news reports about the deadly wildfires in Los Angeles. His heart sank. But unlike most moments that passed in his daily life, this one stayed with him.
“I told my dad I wanted to do something to help,” Harrison recalled. “People had lost everything. I couldn’t just sit with that.”
Years earlier, Harrison’s father had lost his childhood home to a house fire. Harrison remembered hearing how the Red Cross had stepped in when everything was gone. “That story made it real for me,” Harrison said. “I wanted to help people in the same situation my dad had been in.”
Harrison approached the principal of his school, Steve Ruthford, and together they created a plan to raise funds for the Red Cross. Still, Harrison had to face his own fear. “I have stage fright,” he admitted. “But I stood in front of my classmates and talked about the fundraiser anyway. My teachers were there for support, and that helped.”
With posters, morning announcements, and a donation jar in the office, the campaign took off. Slowly, coins and bills poured in — each one a testament (证明) to the generosity of students, teachers, and families who believed in the cause.
“I was really surprised by how much we raised,” Harrison said. What mattered most to Harrison was that many people joined him. “I wasn’t the only one who helped,” he said. “My parents, friends, and teachers — so many people made this happen. It took a community to do big things.”
“I don’t really know my role in the world yet,” Harrison said. “But this helps me figure it out. I know I want to have a positive impact.” To the families who may receive the money, Harrison would simply say, “I’m glad we could help you in a tough time.”
4. How did Harrison feel when he heard about the wildfires?
A. Distant. B. Curious. C. Concerned. D. Scared.
5. Why did Harrison decide to launch the campaign?
A. He was moved by the survivors’ courage.
B. He was inspired by his father’s experience.
C. He was encouraged by his teachers’ support.
D. He was amazed by the Red Cross’s kindness to Steve.
6. What did Harrison want to emphasize about the campaign in paragraph 6?
A. It was promoted through combined efforts.
B. It required plenty of careful planning.
C. It erased public doubt about him.
D. It enabled people to honor him.
7. What can we learn from the story?
A. A hardship can shape one’s character.
B. A shared goal has a short-lived effect.
C. A brave choice can affect one’s future.
D. A small act can make a big difference.
C
In Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, when pop superstar Jay Chou took the stage for three nights there last April, he did more than entertaining tens of thousands of fans.
The concerts attracted 141,800 ticketed attendees and about 28,000 fans who gathered outside the concert spot to enjoy the atmosphere. Data showed 85 percent of attendees traveled from outside Nanning. The three concerts generated 1.26 billion yuan in citywide consumer spending.
The figure offers a vivid illustration of how major cultural events produce ripple effects across hotels, restaurants, retail and transportation — far topping ticket sales alone. China’s live performance market reached 96.9 billion yuan in 2025 and is expected to go over 100 billion yuan this year, said iiMedia Research. “Fans from other cities traveling for a show might spend money on flights, hotels, meals, souvenirs and even extend their trips to explore local attractions,” said Jiang Zhao, the associate researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation.
Generation Z has emerged as the driving force behind the increasing concert economy, nearly 60 percent of young consumers willing to pay for emotional value — a trend that is reshaping consumption patterns. Meanwhile, the recently released outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) has identified the expansion of culture, sports and tourism consumption as a key priority. Cities are launching targeted policies designed to transform large-scale concerts and cultural events into fresh economic engines.
Zhejiang province, for example, has introduced different rewards this year for large-scale performances based on ticket sales, profit scale, and most importantly the percentage of attendees traveling from outside the province. Events that choose Zhejiang as their only stop, or launch their national tours in the province, may enjoy even higher rewards.
A single ticket could now offer discounted or free entry to scenic areas, museums and cultural sites, while also causing savings at hotels, restaurants and retail shops. China’s concert economy is rapidly growing as a major investment (投资) destination, strongly influencing investing trend.
8. Why is Jay Chou’s concert introduced?
A. To praise the contributions of big figures.
B. To prove the wide popularity of pop stars.
C. To show the growth of China’s regional tourism.
D. To illustrate the influence of the concert economy.
9. What does the underlined phrase “ripple effects” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Spreading and chain-reaction results. B. Unreal and continuing consequences.
C. Expected and uncontrolled situations. D. Increasing and depressing conditions.
10. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?
A. Reasons for cultural consumption. B. Predictions on future cultural events.
C. Policies on economic transformation. D. Generation Z’s attitude to consumption.
11. What can we learn about Zhejiang’s measures?
A. They involve both rewards and punishments.
B. They work mainly based on national supports.
C. They aim to stimulate local cultural consumption.
D. They encourage the natives to travel to other cities.
D
With artificial intelligence developing fast, modern AI models can complete all kinds of difficult tasks, from writing reports to making videos. As AI technology becomes more dependable, public worry is increasing. Many people fear that AI will take the place of human beings at work, and online searches for “AI unemployment” have hit a record high. Whether people will soon lose their jobs to AI has even turned into a popular discussion topic in big cities.
Many experts hold the view that AI is already bringing about job losses. They refer to studies connecting AI automation with less need for translators, and mention tech companies which once used AI to replace customer-service workers. However, real-world economic data show something different. Official US statistics (数据) show employment for translation work has risen by 7% compared with last year. The tech company Klarna also changed its AI automation rules and kept its human workers.
Some observers think young graduates’ comparatively higher unemployment rate proves an AI-caused job crisis (危机), because the basic knowledge-related jobs they take can be easily finished by AI. Yet this trend started back in 2009, much earlier than the birth of generative AI. Besides, graduates’ unemployment rate is still fairly low.
More studies on white collar jobs — jobs thought to be easily influenced by AI — find no signs of job losses caused by AI. Instead, the percentage of white-collar jobs has gone up a little. Around the world, low unemployment rates and gradual pay increases in most developed countries also contradict the opinion that AI reduces job demand.
Two main reasons account for this situation. To begin with, in spite of widespread reports, less than 10 percent of American businesses use AI in official production and service work. Secondly, most companies make use of AI to raise their workers’ work efficiency instead of firing staff. At present, there is no reason to worry about job losses brought by AI.
12. What is many people’s worry about AI’s fast development?
A. AI will cause plenty of people to lose their jobs.
B. AI will produce low-quality work automatically.
C. AI will replace human beings in every field soon.
D. AI searches online take up too much public attention.
13. Why does the author mention Klarna in Paragraph 2?
A. To show AI automation rules are hard for firms to follow.
B. To prove AI actually fails to work well in tech industry.
C. To offer evidence against the idea that AI leads to job losses.
D. To explain why translation jobs see a slight rise in employment.
14. What does the underlined word “contradict” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Rely on. B. Back up. C. Focus on. D. Go against.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Businesses widely apply AI in their daily work.
B. People needn’t fear that AI will take human jobs.
C. AI has caused serious job losses across the world.
D. AI technology is developing at a surprising speed.

It started in a jeep, on an ordinary ride home from school. Sixth grader Harrison Burgess sat in the car, with his dad listening to news reports about the deadly wildfires in Los Angeles. His heart sank. But unlike most moments that passed in his daily life, this one stayed with him.
“I told my dad I wanted to do something to help,” Harrison recalled. “People had lost everything. I couldn’t just sit with that.”
Years earlier, Harrison’s father had lost his childhood home to a house fire. Harrison remembered hearing how the Red Cross had stepped in when everything was gone. “That story made it real for me,” Harrison said. “I wanted to help people in the same situation my dad had been in.”
Harrison approached the principal of his school, Steve Ruthford, and together they created a plan to raise funds for the Red Cross. Still, Harrison had to face his own fear. “I have stage fright,” he admitted. “But I stood in front of my classmates and talked about the fundraiser anyway. My teachers were there for support, and that helped.”
With posters, morning announcements, and a donation jar in the office, the campaign took off. Slowly, coins and bills poured in — each one a testament (证明) to the generosity of students, teachers, and families who believed in the cause.
“I was really surprised by how much we raised,” Harrison said. What mattered most to Harrison was that many people joined him. “I wasn’t the only one who helped,” he said. “My parents, friends, and teachers — so many people made this happen. It took a community to do big things.”
“I don’t really know my role in the world yet,” Harrison said. “But this helps me figure it out. I know I want to have a positive impact.” To the families who may receive the money, Harrison would simply say, “I’m glad we could help you in a tough time.”
4. How did Harrison feel when he heard about the wildfires?
A. Distant. B. Curious. C. Concerned. D. Scared.
5. Why did Harrison decide to launch the campaign?
A. He was moved by the survivors’ courage.
B. He was inspired by his father’s experience.
C. He was encouraged by his teachers’ support.
D. He was amazed by the Red Cross’s kindness to Steve.
6. What did Harrison want to emphasize about the campaign in paragraph 6?
A. It was promoted through combined efforts.
B. It required plenty of careful planning.
C. It erased public doubt about him.
D. It enabled people to honor him.
7. What can we learn from the story?
A. A hardship can shape one’s character.
B. A shared goal has a short-lived effect.
C. A brave choice can affect one’s future.
D. A small act can make a big difference.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D

In Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, when pop superstar Jay Chou took the stage for three nights there last April, he did more than entertaining tens of thousands of fans.
The concerts attracted 141,800 ticketed attendees and about 28,000 fans who gathered outside the concert spot to enjoy the atmosphere. Data showed 85 percent of attendees traveled from outside Nanning. The three concerts generated 1.26 billion yuan in citywide consumer spending.
The figure offers a vivid illustration of how major cultural events produce ripple effects across hotels, restaurants, retail and transportation — far topping ticket sales alone. China’s live performance market reached 96.9 billion yuan in 2025 and is expected to go over 100 billion yuan this year, said iiMedia Research. “Fans from other cities traveling for a show might spend money on flights, hotels, meals, souvenirs and even extend their trips to explore local attractions,” said Jiang Zhao, the associate researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation.
Generation Z has emerged as the driving force behind the increasing concert economy, nearly 60 percent of young consumers willing to pay for emotional value — a trend that is reshaping consumption patterns. Meanwhile, the recently released outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) has identified the expansion of culture, sports and tourism consumption as a key priority. Cities are launching targeted policies designed to transform large-scale concerts and cultural events into fresh economic engines.
Zhejiang province, for example, has introduced different rewards this year for large-scale performances based on ticket sales, profit scale, and most importantly the percentage of attendees traveling from outside the province. Events that choose Zhejiang as their only stop, or launch their national tours in the province, may enjoy even higher rewards.
A single ticket could now offer discounted or free entry to scenic areas, museums and cultural sites, while also causing savings at hotels, restaurants and retail shops. China’s concert economy is rapidly growing as a major investment (投资) destination, strongly influencing investing trend.
8. Why is Jay Chou’s concert introduced?
A. To praise the contributions of big figures.
B. To prove the wide popularity of pop stars.
C. To show the growth of China’s regional tourism.
D. To illustrate the influence of the concert economy.
9. What does the underlined phrase “ripple effects” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Spreading and chain-reaction results. B. Unreal and continuing consequences.
C. Expected and uncontrolled situations. D. Increasing and depressing conditions.
10. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?
A. Reasons for cultural consumption. B. Predictions on future cultural events.
C. Policies on economic transformation. D. Generation Z’s attitude to consumption.
11. What can we learn about Zhejiang’s measures?
A. They involve both rewards and punishments.
B. They work mainly based on national supports.
C. They aim to stimulate local cultural consumption.
D. They encourage the natives to travel to other cities.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. C

【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Generation Z has emerged as the driving force behind the increasing concert economy, nearly 60 percent of young consumers willing to pay for emotional value — a trend that is reshaping consumption patterns.

【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Zhejiang province, for example, has introduced different rewards this year for large-scale performances based on ticket sales, profit scale, and most importantly the percentage of attendees traveling from outside the province.(例如浙江省今年根据门票销量、营收规模,尤其是省外观众占比,对大型演出设置不同奖励)”可知,政策目的是刺激本地文旅文化消费。

With artificial intelligence developing fast, modern AI models can complete all kinds of difficult tasks, from writing reports to making videos. As AI technology becomes more dependable, public worry is increasing. Many people fear that AI will take the place of human beings at work, and online searches for “AI unemployment” have hit a record high. Whether people will soon lose their jobs to AI has even turned into a popular discussion topic in big cities.
Many experts hold the view that AI is already bringing about job losses. They refer to studies connecting AI automation with less need for translators, and mention tech companies which once used AI to replace customer-service workers. However, real-world economic data show something different. Official US statistics (数据) show employment for translation work has risen by 7% compared with last year. The tech company Klarna also changed its AI automation rules and kept its human workers.
Some observers think young graduates’ comparatively higher unemployment rate proves an AI-caused job crisis (危机), because the basic knowledge-related jobs they take can be easily finished by AI. Yet this trend started back in 2009, much earlier than the birth of generative AI. Besides, graduates’ unemployment rate is still fairly low.
More studies on white collar jobs — jobs thought to be easily influenced by AI — find no signs of job losses caused by AI. Instead, the percentage of white-collar jobs has gone up a little. Around the world, low unemployment rates and gradual pay increases in most developed countries also contradict the opinion that AI reduces job demand.
Two main reasons account for this situation. To begin with, in spite of widespread reports, less than 10 percent of American businesses use AI in official production and service work. Secondly, most companies make use of AI to raise their workers’ work efficiency instead of firing staff. At present, there is no reason to worry about job losses brought by AI.
12. What is many people’s worry about AI’s fast development?
A. AI will cause plenty of people to lose their jobs.
B. AI will produce low-quality work automatically.
C. AI will replace human beings in every field soon.
D. AI searches online take up too much public attention.
13. Why does the author mention Klarna in Paragraph 2?
A. To show AI automation rules are hard for firms to follow.
B. To prove AI actually fails to work well in tech industry.
C. To offer evidence against the idea that AI leads to job losses.
D. To explain why translation jobs see a slight rise in employment.
14. What does the underlined word “contradict” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Rely on. B. Back up. C. Focus on. D. Go against.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Businesses widely apply AI in their daily work.
B. People needn’t fear that AI will take human jobs.
C. AI has caused serious job losses across the world.
D. AI technology is developing at a surprising speed.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要论述尽管公众担心人工智能会导致失业,但真实经济数据与多项研究表明AI并未造成大规模失业,人们无需为此担忧。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Many people fear that AI will take the place of human beings at work, and online searches for “AI unemployment” have hit a record high. (许多人担心人工智能会在工作中取代人类,在线搜索“人工智能失业”的人数创下历史新高)”可知,许多人担心人工智能快速发展会导致大量人失去工作。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“However, real-world economic data show something different. Official US statistics (数据) show employment for translation work has risen by 7% compared with last year. The tech company Klarna also changed its AI automation rules and kept its human workers. (然而,现实世界经济数据显示情况不同。美国官方统计数据显示,与去年相比,翻译工作的就业人数增长了7%。科技公司Klarna也改变了其人工智能自动化规则并保留了人工员工)”可知,提到Klarna是为了提供证据反驳“人工智能导致失业”的观点。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“More studies on white collar jobs — jobs thought to be easily influenced by AI — find no signs of job losses caused by AI. Instead, the percentage of white-collar jobs has gone up a little. Around the world, low unemployment rates and gradual pay increases in most developed countries also contradict the opinion that AI reduces job demand. (更多针对白领工作的研究——被认为容易受到人工智能影响的职位——发现没有人工智能导致失业的迹象。相反,白领岗位的比例略有上升。全球范围内,大多数发达国家低失业率和逐渐增长的工资也contradict人工智能减少就业需求的观点)”可知,前面说白领岗位比例小幅上升,可见这些事实和该观点相悖,contradict意为“与……相矛盾/违背”,与Go against意义相近。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。综合全文,尤其是末段“At present, there is no reason to worry about job losses brought by AI.(目前没有理由担心人工智能带来的失业)”可知,文章主旨是人们不必害怕人工智能会夺走人类的工作。

(如果用户在前3秒内就划走,就不会看完你的视频)”点明了短视频平台的划走机制,空处需要引出这个平台特性,D选项“All short-form video platforms allow users to quickly skip (所有短视频平台都支持用户快速划走内容)”直接对应下文的“3秒内划走”的设定,为“前3秒抓住观众”的策略提供了依据。
【18题详解】
上文“It may seem obvious, but it’s important to keep your videos short. In the world of short form, shorter is better. (这似乎显而易见,但保持视频简短很重要。在短视频领域,越短越好)”点明了视频要做短的核心观点,空处需要解释背后的原因,E选项“Remember, viewers’ attention is limited when they watch videos (要记住,观众观看视频时的注意力是有限的)”完美解释了“越短越好”的底层逻辑。
【19题详解】
上文“Consistency is key to building a loyal following on short-form video platforms. Post new content every 1-3 days to maintain a steady presence without burning out. (在短视频平台上,保持连贯性是建立忠实粉丝群体的关键。每1至3天发布一次新内容,以保持稳定的更新节奏,同时避免精疲力竭)”强调了长期稳定更新的重要性,F选项“Being in for the long term is better than making many videos and giving up (长期坚持下去,比制作很多视频后又放弃要好)”中的“Being in for the long term”与上文“Consistency”和“steady presence”形成逻辑衔接,承接上文,完成该段的逻辑闭环。
【20题详解】
空处是该段的小标题,下文“Find the top short-form video creators in your field and study their content strategy. What formats are working well? How do they structure their openings and endings? Adapt their tricks to create your own original, share-worthy content. (找到你所在领域的顶尖短视频创作者,研究他们的内容策略。哪些形式效果好?他们如何安排开头和结尾?借鉴他们的技巧,来创作属于你自己的原创且值得分享的内容)”核心是向优秀同行学习,B选项“Borrow ideas from the best (向最优秀的人借鉴创意)”中的“Borrow ideas”与下文“study their content strategy”和“Adapt their tricks”形成逻辑衔接,精准概括了整段的主旨。

A. dropped B. being dropped C. dropping D. to drop
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:伦敦市政厅的成员们正在寻找方法,防止数以百万计的塑料瓶被丢进泰晤士河里,而不是被回收利用。prevent sb./sth. (from) doing sth.为固定搭配,意为“阻止……做某事”,其中from可省略;此处宾语millions of plastic bottles与drop之间为被动关系,即“瓶子被丢进河里”,故应用动名词的被动式being dropped。
37. Once you are aware of the tricks ________ in advertisements, you’ll never be easily fooled and buy things you really don’t need.
A. using B. having used C. to use D. used
【答案】D

38. I ________ to throw in the towel, but my teacher’s inspiration kept me from ________.
A. intended; quitting B. had intended; quitting
C. had planned; working D. planned; working

39. ________ repeatedly by teachers, he devoted what he had to ________ out the factors that account for his failure.
A. Urging; figuring B. Urged; figuring C. Urged; figure D. Urging; figure
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:在老师们的反复敦促下,他倾尽所有去找出导致他失败的因素。第一空,动词urge(敦促)与逻辑主语he之间是被动关系,需用过去分词Urged作状语;第二空,考查固定搭配devote...to...(把……致力于……),其中to为介词,后需接动名词形式。
40. The passengers had been waiting for almost two hours at the airport, only ______ by the airline staff that their flight was cancelled because of the bad weather.

C. to be told D. having been told
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:乘客们在机场等了将近两个小时,结果却被航空公司工作人员告知,由于恶劣天气,他们的航班被取消了。“only + 不定式 (only to do sth.)”为固定用法,作结果状语,通常表示出乎意料或令人失望的结果,逻辑主语the passengers 与动词tell之间是被动关系,即“被告知”,因此需要使用动词不定式的被动语态to be told。
41. While I was preparing for my final exams, I noticed an announcement about an internship opportunity ______ on the notice board in our school hallway.

C. to have killed; making D. having killed; making
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:此次地震据信已造成超过 5000 人死亡,数千人无家可归,这或许使其成为该地区历史上破坏力最强的一次地震。句子第一个空格处使用了固定句型“sb./sth. is believed to do sth.(某人/某物被认为做了某事)”,不定式的不同时态形式可以体现动作的时间关系。kill这个动作发生在is believed之前,且已经完成,因此用不定式的完成式to have killed,表示动作先于主句动作发生。逗号后面的部分是结果状语,用来补充说明地震造成的后果,因此需要一个非谓语动词作状语。句子的主语是The earthquake与动词make之间是主动关系,因此用现在分词形式making作结果状语,表示自然的结果。
43. ________ millions of fans, David Beckham is encouraging more and more people to go in for football.
