A New York food bank was offered a large donation of fresh fish last month — but the gift came with a difficulty.
LocalCoho,a New York salmon (鲑鱼) farm that was closing, wanted to give 18,100kilograms of salmon to the Food Bank of Central New York. The high-quality meat could feed thousands of families. However, the gift fish were still alive and swimming in the farm’s large pool. The organization needed to find a way to remove about 13,000 salmon from the pool and, later, process them into food.
And the food aid group needed to do all this quickly, before the business closed forever at the end of January. Thanks to many volunteers, the group was able to empty the pool in time, place the fish in cold storage and transport them to a processer.
Brian McManus is the food bank’s chief operations officer. He said that the short amount of time to complete the operation made activities difficult. But he said, “I knew that we had the will. I knew we had the skill.”
Christina Hudson Kohler was among the volunteers who got into the water to collect the fish and put them into the cold storage containers. “It’s a little bit different,” Kohler said during a break. “In the past, my volunteer work with the food bank has been sorting carrots or peppers...”
LocalCoho was a new company that had been developing a sustainable (可持续的) salmon farming system. The system uses recycled water. The company had been supplying salmon to buyers, including restaurants, with the goal of building farms across the country. But company officials said they could not raise enough money from investors (投资者) to grow and make money. So, they decided to close the business.
The company did not want the fish to go to waste so it sought a way to donate them. The donation is expected to provide more than 26,000 hard-to-reach meals to hungry people.
24．What problem did the New York food bank meet
A．It had no ability to process food. B．It had to turn the live fish into food.
C．It lacked a source of food to hand out. D．It had not enough volunteers to help it.
25．What did the chief operations officer stress about the donation
A．Time was tight to deal with the donation.
B．He lacked experience in treating live fish.
C．There were no funds for processing live fish.
D．The donors were generous enough to donate.
26．What was Christina Hudson Kohler’s volunteer work this time
A．Transporting live fish. B．Processing live fish.
C．Sorting vegetables. D．Catching live fish.
27．Why did the new company give up their business
A．Food banks needed fish. B．Salmon are not popular.
C．It lacked money. D．It wasted too much water.
C
Britain was once covered with rainforests, known as Celtic rainforests or Atlantic woodland. The temperate (温带的) rainforests only occur in places close to the sea with high rainfall, high humidity (湿度) and low variations in temperature and full of plants and animals. The Celtic rainforests used to spread out all across the wetter areas of the country’s west. But over the centuries the ancient woodlands were later cleared and changed into grasslands for sheep and cattle. By the start of the 20th century, Britain had become the least-wooded country in Europe, with only small parts remaining in western coastal rainforest areas.
There’s a new rainforest coming back to Britain right now. A movement is underway across Britain to recover these forgotten ecosystems. And in Devon, the first step towards achieving that has just been completed. With the help of over 100 local volunteers, more than 2,500 native trees have been planted at Devon Wildlife Trust’s Bowden Pillars site, not far from the town of Totnes. It’s hoped that another 4,500 oak, rowan, alder, hazel, birch, willow and holly trees will be planted by the end of this winter and over the coming decades, and that they’ll grow to form a thriving (欣欣向荣的) temperate rainforest.
The recovery programme, led by The Wildlife Trusts, is happening across other parts of the country, including Cornwall and Pembrokeshire and has been boosted by a significant 38 million of funding from an insurance company.
Claire Inglis, a nature reserve officer at Devon Wildlife Trust, said, “The full grown temperate rainforest will take several decades to become established, but the advantages for nature will be much swifter. The mix of young trees planted among grasslands and hedges (树篱), along with our promise not to use chemicals, will be better for local butterflies and bees, along with local birds such as yellowhammers and barn owls. It will be fascinating to see how it develops.”
28．What was mainly responsible for Britain’s lost Celtic rainforest in the past
A．Low temperature. B．Animal farming.
C．Plant variation. D．High humidity.
29．What can we say about the movement across Britain
A．It’s worrying. B．It’s promising.
C．It’s unrealistic. D．It’s uncontrollable.
30．What does the underlined word “swifter” in the last paragraph mean
A．Further. B．More unlikely.
C．Quicker. D．More costly.
31．Which can be the best title for the text
A．A Story of Destruction About Britain’s Lost Rainforests
B．The Challenges of Reviving Celtic Rainforests in Britain
C．A Nationwide Effort to Revive Lost Rainforests in Britain
D．The Truth of the Disappearance of Britain’s Celtic Rainforests

“Generative AI has transformed education dramatically,” says senior study author Chin-Hsi Lin, an education technology researcher at the University of Hong Kong. Lin and his colleagues recruited postgraduate students from 14 regions who were studying in the U.K. and used AI in their work. The students were asked to come up with and explain a metaphor (隐喻) for the way generative AI impacted their academic writing.
By analyzing the responses, the researchers found four categories for how students were using and thinking about AI in their work. The most basic of these was the use of AI to check English grammar or format a reference list. Participants compared AI to aesthetic (美学的) enhancements such as makeup or high heels, or a mechanical tool such as a packaging machine or measuring tape.
In the next category, AI was more involved in the writing process itself. Some students used it to organize the logic of their writing; some equated it to Tesla’s Autopilot because it helped them stay on track.
In the third category, students used AI to more meaningfully transform their writing process and final product. Here, they called the technology a “bridge” or a “teacher” that could help them overcome cross-cultural boundaries in communication styles — especially important because academic writing is so often done in English.
In the fourth category, students’ metaphors highlighted the potential danger of AI. Some of the participants expressed discomfort with the way it enabled a lack of innovation or a lack of deeper understanding (like fast food, convenient but not nutritious). In this category, students most commonly considered it handy.
“Metaphors really matter, and they have shaped the public discourse (论述) for all kinds of new technologies,” says Emily Weinstein, a technology researcher. “The comparisons we use to talk about new technology can reveal our assumptions about how they work — and even our blind spots. There’s never only one right metaphor to talk about a new technology. When we try to assign just one metaphor to a new technology, we risk flattening it and overlooking both its benefits and dangers.”
32．What is the primary focus of the study conducted by Lin and his colleagues
A．The moral concerns about AI in education.
B．The role of AI in postgraduates’ academic writing.
C．The effectiveness of AI in writing academic papers.
D．The impact of AI on students’ creativity in research.
33．Which aspect of AI does the third category of metaphors emphasize
A．Its impact on narrowing cultural gaps.
B．Its method for enforcing language rules.
C．Its effect on simplifying technical language.
D．Its function of reducing academic workloads.
34．What concern is raised in the fourth category of metaphors
A．AI’s highly addictive feature.
B．AI’s high costs and inaccessibility.
C．AI’s lack of creativity and inspiration.
D．AI’s ineffectiveness in academic writing.
35．What is Weinstein’s attitude towards using a single metaphor for Al
A．Positive. B．Indifferent.
C．Unclear. D．Negative.

Choosing new technology for schools can be exciting, but poor planning often leads to wasted time and money. 36 Here are three that matter most.
Timeline for implementation (实施)
We often plan tech adoption on a school-year cycle, starting in August or September. But that timing can backfire. Instead, the best time to begin test cases is during the spring of the year before full implementation. 37 Schools should seek companies that support multi-year plans with fair prices, starting early to lower the risk.
Professional Learning
New contracts often include initial training. But what happens in later years with new teachers, deeper implementation, or refresher needs 38 If two products offer similar features, knowing which one includes long-term professional learning — and which one charges extra — can make or break a decision.
Working with old systems
New tools don’t work alone. Schools already have systems in place, like learning management platforms and student databases. 39 Educators and students benefit when systems are connected and simple to use. 40
By carefully considering implementation timing, ongoing training needs, and system integration, schools can turn technology investments from potential wastes into lasting educational resources. Thoughtful planning in these three areas ensures new tools truly improve teaching and learning.
A．New tools must work well with those already in use.
B．Not every new tool needs to interact with existing ones.
C．However, poor system integration can waste teachers’ time.
D．But problems can arise if certain questions aren’t considered.
E．Trying out tools during spring makes full use easier in the fall.
F．Some companies are generous at first but later become hard to reach.
G．To avoid failure, schools should ask key questions before making a purchase.

Since the start of the industrial revolution, there have been threats that new machines — from mechanised looms to microchips — would usurp (侵占) human jobs. For the most part, the humans have prevailed (获胜，盛行). Now, say some experts, with AI ubiquity on the horizon, the 41 is being realised: the robots really are coming for some jobs.
A March 2023 report from Goldman Sachs estimated that AI capable of content generation could do a quarter of all the work 42 done by humans. Across the European Union and US, the report further notes, 300 million jobs could be lost to 43 . And that could be dire, says Martin Ford, author of Rule of the Robots: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything. “It's not just that this would happen to 44 , but it could be pretty systemic,” he says. “It could happen to a lot of people, potentially quite suddenly, potentially all at the same time. And that has 45 not just for those individuals, but for the whole economy.”
Thankfully, it’s not all bad news. The experts 46 their warnings with a caveat: there are still things AI isn’t capable of — tasks that involve 47 human qualities, like emotional intelligence and outside-the-box thinking. And moving into roles that center those skills could help 48 the chances of being replaced. “I think there are generally three 49 that are going to be relatively insulated (绝缘的，隔热的) in the foreseeable future,” says Ford. “The first would be jobs that are genuinely 50 : you’re not doing formulaic work or just rearranging things, but you're genuinely coming up with new ideas and building something new.”
The second safe zone, he continues, is jobs that require 51 interpersonal relationships. He points to nurses, business consultants and investigative journalists. These are jobs, he says, “where you need a very deep 52 of people. I think it’ll be a long time before AI has the ability to interact in the kinds of ways that really build relationships”. The third safe zone, says Ford, “are jobs that really require lots of mobility and dexterity and problem-solving ability in 53 environments”. Many trade jobs – think electricians, plumbers, welders and the like – fall under this umbrella. “These are the kinds of jobs where you're dealing with a new situation all the time,” he adds. “They are probably the hardest of anything to automate. In order to automate jobs like this, you would need a science fiction robot. You’d need Star Wars’s C-3PO.”
While humans will likely remain in jobs that fall within those categories, that doesn’t mean those professions are totally insulated from the ascent of AI. In fact, says Joanne Song McLaughlin, associate professor of labor economics at the University of Buffalo, US, most jobs, regardless of 54 , have aspects that are likely to be automated by the 55 . In short, seeking roles in dynamic, shifting environments that include unpredictable tasks is good way to stave off (挡开，避开 ) job loss to AI. At least, for a while.
41．A．issue B．threat C．ambition D．target
42．A．temporarily B．potentially C．currently D．probably
43．A．automation B．revolution C．imagination D．information
44．A．individuals B．white collars C．manual workers D．designers
45．A．benefits B．comments C．fascinations D．implications
46．A．receive B．propose C．issue D．cancel
47．A．indifferently B．distinctly C．deliberately D．collaboratively
48．A．increase B．lessen C．seize D．treasure
49．A．contents B．preferences C．factors D．categories

67．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。
Oliver and his father were doing their weekly shopping in the nearby supermarket when he noticed a leather wallet on the ground. After picking it up curiously, Oliver found a bookstore logo on the surface, which reminded him of his part-time-job experience working at a bookstore during college.
In addition, he found a large amount of cash and a business card with a phone number on it. Oliver and his father had been living a poor life all together although his father worked hard each day. Oliver had been struggling with unemployment while actively looking for a new job.
“What if I keep the wallet ” he said to himself, the thought of financial relief crossing his mind. “I could use the money to do something.” Yet, a wave of guilt washed over him. “But Father would be annoyed if I…” he thought, holding the wallet tightly. Noticing his hesitation, Oliver’s father asked what was wrong. He told his father about the wallet and his inner struggle. With a gentle but firm voice, his father reminded him of the values, “We shouldn’t keep what isn’t ours, Oliver.”
Oliver’s face turned red with a mix of emotions. “We have bills without steady income monthly, and this could be a turning point,” he responded. His father admitted their difficulties but encouraged him to think about the right thing to do, saying, “Returning it could bring you unexpected good luck.”
Finally, Oliver decided to call the number on the business card. The owner was an elderly man, who was very grateful to take his wallet back. He explained that the money inside was prepared for his son Noah, which was important for his new business-a bookstore he was planning to open. As Oliver walked away, he felt a sense of fulfillment (成就感) from doing the right thing, but he continued to worry about his own job search and financial situation.
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。
Oliver received an unexpected phone call several weeks later.

67．示例：
Oliver received an unexpected phone call several weeks later. It was from Noah, the elderly man’s son, who spoke in a happy and warm tone. “Your honesty really touched my father,” he said. “We are opening a bookstore next month and need someone we can trust to help run it.” Oliver’s heart beat fast — this was the chance he had been waiting for. When he said he didn’t have much experience, Noah laughed softly and replied, “Being a good person is more important.” Oliver felt very excited and agreed to meet for an interview. After hanging up, he remembered his father’s words about “good luck coming from doing the right thing”. Maybe life did reward those who made honest choices, even when it was difficult.
Oliver was appointed manager of Noah’s new bookstore soon. The job not only helped with his money problems but also made him love books again. Noah, who admired Oliver’s hard work, even offered him a share of the store’s profits. As Oliver watched customers look through the books he had carefully chosen, he realized how one honest decision had changed his future. His father, both proud and playful, would say, “I told you it would work out.” Years later, when Oliver talked to a young worker who was having a hard time, he shared Noah’s lesson: “Good character opens doors that skills alone cannot.” The wallet he had once thought about keeping had, in the end, given him more than he had ever expected.
