Leading museums worldwide are experimenting with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies to create new experiences for audiences to engage with art and culture.
To reinvent an interactive experience, museums in China have started using digital humans—computer-generated 3D images resembling real people—to transform visitors’ encounters with history and culture. In cooperation with AI companies, Chinese museums have introduced digital humans as tour guides and ambassadors of tradition.
Ai Wenwen, a digital employee at the National Museum of China, can instantly change outfits, from modern clothing to Chinese traditional dress, and give guided tours of the museum. To give its digital employee the appeal of a human celebrity, the National Museum create a song that is presented as if sung by Ai Wenwen herself.
In addition to museums, digital humans can help bring historical figures to life. The Zhonghua Book Company has launched a virtual avatar (化身) of Su Shi, a celebrated Chinese poet and statesman. With the texts about Su Shi’s life and literary work being fed into the virtual avatar, it can respond to real people in a manner and language resembling this great man in Chinese history. It made its first appearance in a CCTV youth talent show about Chinese poetry, surprising audiences with its remarkable human likeness.
The virtual avatar had conversations with live audiences about poems Su Shi wrote about 1,000 years ago. The TV show even presented an episode of the digital version of Su Shi acting with a human who played his close friend, the great calligrapher Huang Tingjian.
The Su Shi avatar has also become a social media influencer, posting quizzes and educational content on literature, geography, and customs. Additionally, the company organizes in-person events where students interact with digital humans to learn history and literature.
Museums and cultural institutions across China have incorporated the virtual avatar of Su Shi to create interactive exhibitions with themes including afternoon tea, poetry and calligraphy. Audiences at these exhibitions have opportunities to experience the daily life of a renowned poet from the distant past.
24. Why Chinese museums apply digital humans
A. To reduce the cost of hiring real tour guides. B. To enhance visitors’ cultural experience.
C. To promote latest AR and VR technologies. D. To compete with international museums.
25. What can Ai Wenwen do during tours
A. Switch clothes in a flash. B. Compose original music.
C. Repair historical artifacts. D. Conduct academic research.
26. How did the Su Shi avatar surprise audiences on TV
A. By composing poetry on the spot. B. By acting out his close friend vividly.
C. By responding in a human-like way. D. By having a touchable human look.
27. Which is the best title of the passage
A. The End of Human Guides. B. The Making of a Virtual Pop Star.
C. A Digital Bridge to the Past. D. The Role of AI in Cultural Heritage.

Mrs. Mason was “the perfect reading ambassador,” said Sandra Martin-Chang, recalling an early reading role model, her high school English and drama teacher. “She encouraged me to read excellent books with great story lines. We read The Handmaid's Tale, and it was fabulous…We’d imagine it first and then think about how to stage it and bring it to life.”
Now a professor of education at Concordia University, Martin-Chang studies how reading storybooks and novels influences cognitive (认知的) development.
In a new study published in Reading and Writing, she and her colleagues found significant differences between students who read for pleasure outside of class and those who primarily read books to satisfy school assignments. Not only was there a powerful link between reading for fun and stronger language skills, but students who disliked reading frequently owed their negative outlook to experiences they had in classrooms. Too much emphasis on analyzing the compositional nuts and bolts of texts and reading merely to absorb information came at a psychological cost, the researchers found, as students disengaged from voluntary reading.
But analyzing the elements of good writing — how persuasion works, how figurative language can enhance texts — is essential to teaching kids the full range of their expressive potential, and Martin-Chang isn’t suggesting that we read only for fun. “Competence is very, very important. We can’t skip straight to books children love without teaching them how to do it right,” she said. She likens reading to eating a well-balanced diet: “The people who say chocolate is good for you don't recommend eating it to the exclusion of all other things.”
For Martin-Chang reading for pleasure isn’t a departure from demanding academics — it’s a rewarding form of cognitive exercise, one that is both enjoyable and intellectually beneficial. “Offer more choice,”| said Martin-Chang. Introduce students to Romeo and Juliet, but give them the option to read The Fault in Our Stars as well; let them read comic books, sports writing and plays, sci-fi and horror novels. In other words, to build literacy skills, it’s better for them to consume dozens of texts that they love, connect with, or feel inspired by, instead of reluctantly reading one because it’s assigned.
28. What role does Mrs. Mason play in Martin-Chang’s growth
A. A strict literature evaluator. B. An innovative reading reformer.
C. A professional drama coach. D. A passionate reading motivator.
29. What does the underlined word "disengaged" mean
A. Suffered. B. Learned. C. Benefited. D. Withdrew.
30. What does the chocolate citation show
A. Fun should be prioritized over analysis. B. Competence and enjoyment must coexist.
C. Academic reading ensures literacy skills. D. Interest is the key to reading competence.
31. What is the writer’s intention
A. To criticize a phenomenon. B. To compare two methods.
C. To advocate an approach. D. To analyze research results.
D
Urban areas suffer from heat islands. While trees offer natural cooling, many cities lack sufficient greenery. Botanists propose a solution: miniature forests engineered for rapid growth.
Traditional ecological success progresses from grasses to shrubs (灌木) to mature trees over decades. The Miyawaki method skips the early phases and jumps directly to planting species found in a mature wood. Practitioners select around 100 local species through field surveys. Using a wide mix of species, not all of them trees, is important. Most plantations, having been created for commercial purposes, are monocultures. But trees, shrubs and ground-covering herbs all coexist in natural forests, and the Miyawaki versions have this from the start, encouraging the plants to grow faster.
Gardeners gather seeds and plant them at random, rather than in rows. The seedlings have to fight for sunlight, so only the fastest-growing survive. Trees planted in this way can shoot up as much as 14% more rapidly than normal. Gardens are tended for three years, then become self-sustaining, maturing in decades. Gardeners are not limited to follow nature’s recipe book to the letter. Miyawaki forests can be tailored to local requirements.
Mr Sharma, a leading advocate of the Miyawaki method, has brought his experience building cars to bear on the question of tree planting, who is particularly hot on time and motion. He has measured how long, on average, it takes to plant each sort of seed or seedling and uses that information to schedule their sowing. His firm has created over a hundred forests in ten countries in this way. It has also inspired at least 15 imitators (模仿者), in places as diverse as Australia, Chile and Iran.
What Mr Sharma and others like him offer looks like a modern version of the 19th-century movements that brought city parks and their associated health benefits to the industrializing West. In those days the prevailing attitude towards nature was to try to tame it, and the parks created reflect that in their controlled, formal design. Now, greenery and environmentalism are the fashion, and the wild-like Miyawaki approach reflects this perfectly. The purpose is the same as before — to introduce rus in urbe. But the means are completely in tune with the times.
32. According to Miyawaki method, which is helpful for rapid forest growth
A. Introducing non-native mature species. B. Copying early succession stages.
C. High-density competitive planting. D. Monoculture forest establishment.
33. What does Mr. Sharma’s approach emphasize
A. Industrial-like efficiency. B. Inflexible natural processes.
C. Setting models for followers. D. Awareness of forest protection.
34. How has urban greening changed since the 19th-century
A. Health benefits of parks are considered. B. From managing it to working with nature.
C. Awareness of green cities has arisen. D. Perfect appearance is now the primary focus.
35. What does “rus in urbe” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Creating neatly arranged landscape. B. Making the city forest wilder.
C. Pursuing creative natural design. D. Bringing nature into cities.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The science of stage fright and how to overcome it
Heart racing, palms sweating, labored breathing No, you’re not having a heart attack— it’s stage fright. ____36____ Here is how to trick your brain and steal the show.
____37____ The nervousness we feel about public speaking comes from an ancient survival instinct called the “fight or flight” response. This automatic reaction happens in the primitive part of our brain, which mistakes possible embarrassment for a life-threatening danger. Famous scientist Charles Darwin proved this when he found himself terrified at a zoo snake exhibit — even though he knew he was safe, he couldn’t stop his fear.
How do we fight it First perspective. This isn’t all in your head. It’s a natural physical reaction caused by your body’s autonomic nervous system. ____38____ For example, even though John Lennon performed thousands of concerts in his life, he still felt sick before every show. This shows that some people are naturally more likely to feel scared when speaking or performing in front of others.
____39____ Practice a lot, starting long before in an environment similar to the real performance. Practicing any task increases your familiarity and reduces anxiety, so when it’s time to speak in public, you’re confident in yourself and the task at hand. Steve Jobs rehearsed (排练) his epic speeches for hundreds of hours, starting weeks in advance.
Right before you go on stage, when nerves are at their worst, you can trick your body into feeling calmer. Simply stretch your arms up and take a deep breath. ____40____
So, when you finally give your speech with a clear voice and a relaxed body, it’s not because you got rid of your stage fright. It’s because you have learned to work with it.
A. This tells your brain to relax.
B. We should understand what stage fright is.
C. You’ll definitely get rid of your stage fright.
D. And genetics play a huge role in social anxiety.
E. Stage fright is more due to the lack of practice than a natural process.
F. Since stage fright is natural and inevitable, focus on what you can control.
G. If speaking in public makes you feel like you’re fighting for your life, you’re not alone.

I was eagerly anticipating our takeoff. “Ladies and gentlemen,” the captain came, his tone calm yet ____41____, “I regret to inform you that our flight will be ____42____ by an hour.”

I could ____46____ the frustration and impatience among my fellow passengers. But just when it seemed like the situation could intensify, a team rushed onto the plane. They ____47____ with them several large refrigerated containers. The captain, now feeling the ____48____ of the moment, made another announcement.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” he said, his voice steady but filled with ____49____, “I must apologize for the delay. However, I must also inform you of the ____50____ behind it. We are ____51____ to have on board a team of doctors and a precious cargo — a heart, intended to save a life. We thank you for your understanding and support.”
The cabin fell silent. For a moment, the frustration and impatience ____52____, replaced by an overwhelming sense of awe and respect. We, the passengers, had become unwitting ____53____ to a life-saving journey.
As the plane finally took off, the atmosphere in the cabin was ____54____. The travelers, once strangers to each other, were now ____55____ by a common purpose — the continuation of life.
41. A. apologetic B. reliable C. inspiring D. powerful

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Find yourself at the doorway of ancient buildings in China, and your gaze will be drawn toward the vibrant colors, the light and the guardian lions ____56____ (stand) watch.
But were you to turn your back, you may face a section of wall, only ____57____ (slight) larger than the entrance. You would be forgiven for thinking this is just some remaining of another building, with the rest lost to history, ____58____ was my initial assumption the first time I spotted one. However, these unassuming walls have a ____59____ (charm) story spanning thousands of years.
Zhaobi, or spirit wall, dates from more than 3000 years ago. Yet the purpose as well as its meaning ____60____ (evolve) over the course of history. Seeing Zhaobi outside a building would let ____61____ (passerby) know this is the residence of someone important, ensuring privacy. It is also believed to allow for better flow of qi, or vital energy, to be conserved. Zhaobi later became more of a form of artistic expression, ____62____ families using it as a canvas of poetry, paintings, or characters to tell their family history and achievements or to represent luck and fortune.
____63____ that is a physical symbol of someone's social position, an instrument for preserving qi, or a record of the exceptional deeds of a family's history, these structures stand as a true ____64____ (represent) of the resilience and development of Chinese history.
These walls often go overlooked, but their continued existence is more than just to retain the mysterious qi, but ____65____ (bear) witness to the continuous story of China.

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。
For three years, I had refused my son David’s begging for a dog, fearing it would disrupt the peace, beauty, and order I cherished in our home. The turning point came when I saw thirty notes hidden in his room, each one reading: “Dear Mom, I want a dog,” Moved by a mother’s desire not to see her son feel disappointed, I gave in. I brought home Tippy, a mixed-breed puppy.
For David, it was instant bonding and days filled with joyful commands of “sit, girl, heel (跟紧), girl.” But for me, the reality of puppy ownership quickly set in. While David attended school, the spirited puppy became bored. It fell on me to rescue the socks, slippers and the mail-man. When I tied Tippy to a tree, her whines (哀嚎) got on my nerves.
“I’m going to get rid of that dog,” I told David.
“Just leave the messes till I get home,” David offered anxiously, his attachment to Tippy evident.
When Tippy was seven months old, our yard became a battleground. From behind my curtains I watched, terrified, as seven dogs wrestled for the love of Tippy. Nine weeks later, to no one’s surprise, Tippy presented us with a litter (窝) of pups. David was excited. But I was mad. All I could think about was Tippy’s energetic puppyhood about to be repeated nine times at once!
When the puppies were five weeks old, Tippy developed a life-threatening disease. Following the vet’s advice, we had to immediately give away all her puppies to save her. She recovered. Yet the separation sent Tippy into a deep depression. As her grief soon turned into aggression, she dragged home dead animals, bared her teeth at anyone who came near, and trapped my friends in their car in our driveway. This was the final straw for me. Tippy would have to go.
I took Tippy and headed for the animal adoption center. Unexpected tears trickled down my cheeks. This is the right thing to do, I persuaded myself — I didn’t want to think otherwise.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Back home, I found David lying in his bed, sobbing and unwilling to eat or sleep.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I took Tippy back to our door, she ran straight for David.

【67题答案】
【答案】
Back home I found David lying in his bed, sobbing and unwilling to eat or sleep. So disheartened was I to see David curled up on his bed, hugging his picture of Tippy. I wanted to comfort him, but how After all, I was the one who had given away his beloved dog. A profound silence and sadness replaced the previous chaos in the house. It was in this quiet grief that I had my revelation: a neat and orderly house was a poor substitute for a happy one filled with laughter, running, and joyful barks. My heart, once divided, was now whole in its desire. I had been merely willing to have Tippy back; now, I wanted her back for David.
When I took Tippy back to our door, she ran straight for David. Like a nail drawn to a magnet, she zoomed towards David so excitedly and happily. What a blending of flesh and fur, arms and paws, legs and a tail! David kept saying, “Oh, Tippy, oh, Tippy,” and Tippy kept yipping and lapping David’s face. Then all of us were hugging and crying as Tippy gave us loving licks. Did peace, beauty and order return to our household No, not exactly, but love and laughter did. And I can say with my whole heart, I’m glad!
