Which part of a magazine is the text probably from? A. Shopping. B. Travel. C. Invention. D. Culture. B Venice is a city on the water. It is full of small walkways, hidden squares and old museums. Every year, visitors from all over the world come to Venice to enjoy its beauty and rich history. However, Venice is facing big problems. The city is at risk of being taken over by the sea and could be gone by the year 2100. This is happening mainly because of rising temperatures. They are causing the sea level to go up. What’s worse, Venice itself is sinking (下沉). Parts of Venice’s buildings are made of wood and clay, which is pretty unstable (不稳定的). Over the centuries, many of the buildings have moved and started to sink. But these are not the only problems facing Venice. Motorboats in the city often create waves (波浪) and the waves keep hitting the buildings along the Grand Canal. Over time, this can damage the buildings and make them weaker. Venice needs to find ways to solve these problems. But it’s really hard to get enough money to solve them, since the city is crowded with tourists and many local people are moving out to look for better jobs. To fix the money problem, Venice tried something new. In 2024, from April to July, within 29 days, they asked one-day visitors to pay €5 each. However, the government needs to do more. They must find more ways to protect Venice and make it a nice place for people to live again. 25. What is causing the sea level to rise? A. Heavy rains. B. Waves created by motorboats. C. Small earthquakes. D. Rising temperatures. 26. Which question does Paragraph 3 mainly answer? A. Why are many buildings in Venice sinking? B. How can tourists enjoy Venice? C. What are Venice’s buildings made of? D. Where have the buildings in Venice moved? 27. Why is it difficult to solve Venice’s problems? A. Because there are too many tourists. B. Because most of Venice’s buildings are too old. C. Because the government doesn’t have enough money. D. Because the government doesn’t want to make a change. 28. The writer wrote the text mainly to ________. A. describe the beauty of Venice B. introduce the history of Venice C. discuss the problems facing Venice D. give advice on taking a trip to Venice C Back in 1999, an American exchange teacher Ronald Sakolsky was deeply touched by Yin Yuzhen’s hard work on desert greening. So he collected 5,000 dollars to support her work in the Mu Us Desert (毛乌素沙漠). The two lost touch after the donation. But Yin never forgot his help. Today, that 5,000-dollar donation has finally grown into over 50,000 trees. The desert has turned into thick woods, where wild animals come back and sandstorms are well controlled. Missing the kind foreign friend all the time, Yin made a public video and invited Sakolsky to see the forest for himself. The video spread quickly online. An online user wrote, “You give me a drop of water, I return a sea. You plant a single tree, I give back a spring.” With people’s help, they talked through a video call within 48 hours. Learning that his small kindness had created such great changes, Sakolsky felt greatly surprised and excited. Sakolsky has always loved Chinese culture and kept sharing what he learnt in China with his students after returning home. He gladly accepted Yin’s invitation and later came to China. The two met again after many years. And they planted a tree together. This moving story has attracted wide attention online. More international friends have joined the tree-planting activity to make the Earth greener. The lasting friendship and joint (共同的) efforts fully show that all humans share a common home, and that kindness will always take root and grow strong. 29. What does the underlined word “donation” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Money given to help someone. B. Money borrowed from a bank. C. Money made by planting trees. D. Money spent on a long journey. 30. Why did Yin Yuzhen make a public video? A. To show her forest to the world. B. To find the man who once helped her. C. To teach people how to plant trees. D. To ask people to give her more money. 31. What is the correct order of the events about Sakolsky? ①He lost touch with Yin. ②He supported Yin’s work. ③He accepted Yin’s invitation. ④He talked with Yin through a video call. ⑤He shared Chinese culture with his students. A. ②①③④⑤ B. ②①⑤④③ C. ①③④⑤② D. ①⑤④③② 32. What does the story mainly want to tell us? A. American teachers like Chinese culture. B. Planting trees in deserts is very difficult. C. Videos online can help people find friends. D. Kindness can grow and bring people together. D Ever since we were born, we’ve been learning new things using our natural intelligence. Today artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way we live and learn. How can we understand AI literacy (素养) in the age of AI? Mr Ma: I’m a computer scientist. I think understanding AI is the first step. Artificial means “made by people”. Computers use AI to think or act more like humans. In my work, I give computers special lists of rules or instructions. These instructions are called algorithms (算法). They allow computers to carry out intelligent tasks or solve problems. However, we must make sure the algorithms are fair. AI is pretty smart. But don’t worry! It isn’t necessarily smarter than you are. Ms Wu: I’m an engineer. In the age of AI, human-machine cooperation (合作) is unavoidable. Learning how to ask AI questions is very important. Just like us, computers perform tasks and learn by using information and experience. However, no matter what AI tools we are using, they are trained by us humans. AI is like a big team project. Using AI correctly depends on our own knowledge and experience. Mr Li: I teach history. I think AI literacy is the ability to understand, value, and use new technology confidently and responsibly. At my school, students learn about AI through cross-subject projects. We not only help them learn to use AI to solve real-life problems but also encourage them to think for themselves. For example, when AI gives an answer, students check the information from trusted websites and books to make sure it is true. We also get students to think and discuss what is right and wrong when using AI. 33. What can we infer about Mr Ma’s attitude towards AI? A. He supports it with care. B He trusts it without doubt. C. He shows no interest in it. D. He worries about it deeply. 34. Which of the following would Ms Wu most likely agree with? A. AI can reply to questions correctly. B. Humans and AI must work together. C. Humans need to train AI tools harder. D. AI performs tasks better than humans. 35. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to (指代)? A. History. B. AI literacy. C. The answer. D. The information. 36. How does the writer organize the text? A. By listing opinions. B. By giving examples. C. By comparing facts. D. By telling fun stories. 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Creativity (创造性) is not just for artists and writers. It is a skill that can help you solve problems, make projects more fun, and even do better in school. The good news is that, just like other skills, you can train it. 37 You can ask “what if”. Creative people often ask questions. Instead of accepting things as they are, ask, “What if (如果……会怎么样) this was different?” For example, “What if cars could fly?” or “What if we had no homework?” 38 You can do it anywhere — while walking, eating, or waiting for a bus. You can try new things. Your brain loves new experiences. When you try something different, like drawing, cooking, or learning a new sport, you create new connections in your mind. These connections help you think of fresh ideas. 39 Ideas come and go quickly. If you do not write them down, you might forget them. Carry a small notebook or use your phone to record your ideas. They can be drawings, words, or even a single sentence. Later, when you need a creative idea, you can look back and find inspiration. Creativity is not something you are born with. 40 Ask questions, try new things, write down ideas, and give your brain time to rest. With these habits, you can become more creative every day. A. You can keep a notebook. B. It grows when you practise. C. You can take photos with your phone. D. This habit trains your brain to imagine possibilities. E. Here are some simple ways to become more creative. 二、完形填空（共10小题，每小题1分；满分10分） 阅读短文，理解其大意，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Social media is all about making life look better than it really is.

I usually 47 the weather to avoid saying that my trip wasn’t fun. I didn’t want to seem like I didn’t value the experience.

My Chinese friends are kind enough to make me feel at home, but I’ve noticed some interesting differences in manners. In the UK , people use 52 word “please” all the time to be polite. The Chinese have their own way of being polite. For example, they normally use nin when they call others 53 a formal ( 正式的) situation. If you want to show 54 (polite) and respect for others, you can’t go wrong with nin. I’ve also realized that the Chinese act 55 (different) from the British when it comes to praise. If someone says my Chinese is good, I’ll be pleased and tell them I love learning the language. 56 when I praise my Chinese friends, they often smile and reply, “Nali, nali.” They are too modest to accept praise openly. Here, eating is a special time for people to connect. One day, my host invited me to dinner. He was telling me 57 (eat) more and kept putting food on my plate. This was his way of showing how much he cared about me. In the UK, people show that they care about their 58 (guest) in a different way . They usually ask if everything is OK or if you want another drink. It can be hard to get used to all these differences in the 59 (one) few days. But as time goes by , it will become much 60 (easy) for me . Please remember: when in Rome, do as the Romans do. 四、阅读与表达（共4小题，61-63小题，每小题2分，64小题4分；满分10分） 阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。 Sam hated maths. Numbers made his head hurt. But one Saturday, numbers became his best friend. Sam was helping his mom at their small bakery. A customer ordered cupcakes for a party. Sam’s mom was sick, so Sam had to do it alone. He looked at the recipe (食谱) card: Make 15 cupcakes: 3 eggs, 2.5 cups of flour, 1.5 spoons of vanilla, bake 18 minutes. But the customer needed 40 cupcakes. Sam stopped. “40 divided by 15… that’s not a whole number.” He thought for a minute. “I can make 45 cupcakes instead — that’s 3 times the recipe. Extra (额外的) cupcakes won’t hurt.” So he made three times everything: 9 eggs, 7.5 cups of flour, 4.5 spoons of vanilla. Then came the hard part. The recipe said 18 minutes for 15 cupcakes. But with 45 cupcakes in the oven, they would need more time. Sam guessed 25 minutes. At 25 minutes, he checked — still wet inside. He added 5 more minutes. Still wet. Finally, at 35 minutes, they were perfect. When the customer arrived, she counted the cupcakes. “45? I only ordered 40!” Sam smiled. “The extra 5 are free. Thank you for waiting.” The customer laughed and gave him a big tip. That night, Sam’s mom hugged him. “You used maths to help our bakery,” she said. Sam laughed. “I guess numbers aren’t so bad after all.” 61. Why did Sam have to bake cupcakes on his own one Saturday? 62. How long did it take Sam to bake the 45 cupcakes at last ? 63. What did the customer give to Sam after getting the cupcakes? 64. Do you agree with the way Sam dealt with the extra 5 cupcakes? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more. 五、书面表达（满分20分） 65．假定你是李辉，作为交换生刚刚结束了在英国为期一个月的学习。期间，你住在寄宿家庭史密斯家，受到了他们的热情招待。请你给史密斯夫妇写一封邮件，内容包括： （1）表达感谢； （2）回顾在英国的经历（如景点、美食、活动等）； （3）邀请史密斯一家来中国旅行。 注意： （1）词数80 ~ 100，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； （2）可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； （3）邮件中不能出现真实姓名及学校名称。 Dear Mr and Mrs Smith, I have just returned home from the UK. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Li Hui 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
