I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda, and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.
24. What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety
A. He drowned it in chocolate. B. He escaped into a fantasy world.
C. He slept on the sofa leisurely. D. He conducted an experiment.
25. What does the author mean by the underlined part in Paragraph 2
A. Reading novels was a waste of time.
B. Reading a good book was time well spent.
C. He was too busy to take good care of his books.
D. The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected.
26. How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author
A. More sympathy went out to him.
B. His moral values were strengthened.
C. He learned much about religious diversity.
D. He gained new insight into his academic discipline.
27. What does the author think of the impact reading fiction books has on himself
A. Overestimated B. Underestimated C. Favourable D. Temporary
C
Most of us like shortcuts — the ones that get us to a place faster, whether we have to walk through a few trees or jump over a wall. But how far would you go to make a really good shortcut Probably not as far as the Americans did when they built the Panama Canal, giving ships a quicker route between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific. When it opened in 1914, the canal cut the journey time from the east coast of the US to the west coast by as much as 15,000 kilometres.
This was not an easy shortcut. Panama had been chosen mainly because it was the narrowest part of Central America. But the land was mountainous and full of tropical rain forests and it was still more than 80 kilometres wide. It’s said that almost 6,000 workers died from making the canal between 1904 and 1913, but the real number is probably much higher.
As well as the difficult, dangerous job they had, those workers — many from the Caribbean — had to deal with heat, mosquitoes (蚊子), snakes and lots of rain. The result was a canal that has been called one of the wonders of the modern world.
Today, a ship entering the canal has to pass through three sets of locks. These are used like stairs, and they’re needed because the canal is not of the same height all the way through. The locks use lots of fresh water to lift up the boats-on average, 9 billion liters every day from lakes next to the canal.
And although Panama is a wet country, the climate is changing, and there is less water now than there used to be. The Panama Canal is still a shortcut for now, but it’s in danger.
28. How does the author develop Paragraph 1
A. By giving an example. B. By asking a question.
C. By referring to old writings. D. By making an assumption.
29. Why was the Panama Canal called a hard shortcut
A. Panama has complex geography characters.
B. 6, 000 workers died each year during its building process.
C. Panama always came across terrible weather.
D. Unknown wildlife increased challenges of making it.
30. What do you think of the locks using fresh water
A. It is a waste of natural resource.
B. It makes lakes next to the canal in danger.
C. It is a must to keep boats run smoothly.
D. It is a good way to deal with changeable climate.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Everyone Is Willing to Take Shortcuts
B. The Great Canal Facing Climate Changes
C. The Panama Canal Is an Important Shortcut
D. The Old Canal Lacking Water to Lift Boats
D
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational technology has brought convenience and efficiency to classrooms worldwide. However, despite these advancements, it is crucial to recognize the significant challenges it poses to the autonomy and professional judgment of instructors. One of the primary concerns associated with AI-driven tools in education is the depersonalization of instruction. These tools often rely on pre-packaged digital content and standardized solutions, leaving little room for instructors to tailor their teaching methods.
Each student possesses unique characteristics, including distinct learning styles, strengths and weaknesses. Instructors, armed with their wealth of experience and expertise, are best positioned to customize their approaches to meet these individual needs. They know how to adapt to their students' varying learning styles. However, AI-driven platforms restrict their ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to engage and inspire students to reach their maximum potential.
The implications of this depersonalization are far-reaching. By diminishing (降低) the role of instructors as facilitators of meaningful educational interactions, we run the risk of preventing the growth of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students.
Education should not merely focus on knowledge acquisition (习得), but should also develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply that knowledge in real-world contexts. It should help one's mind grow, not simply possess information. Through dynamic classroom discussions, cooperative projects and hands-on activities, instructors play a vital role in cultivating these essential skills. AI-driven platforms, with their standardized solutions and automated features, are ill-equipped to provide the same level of engagement and intellectual stimulation as human instructors. While AI-driven platforms undeniably have their advantages, we must not lose sight of the importance of preserving instructors' autonomy and the educational experience they provide.
32. What advantage do instructors have over AI-driven tools
A. They are more professional. B. They can satisfy individual needs.
C. They have higher efficiency. D. They adopt a one-size-fits-all approach.
33. In which aspect does depersonalization in education influence students
A. Their response in classroom discussions. B. Their ability in solving real life problems.
C. Their willingness to cooperate with others. D. Their adaptability to various learning styles.
34. What should education focus on apart from knowledge acquisition
A. Doing cooperative projects. B. Organizing hands-on activities.
C. Developing thinking ability. D. Evaluating students' development.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. We are taking the advantages of AI in education.
B. Instructors are more important than AI in education.
C. The influence of the integration of AI in educational technology.
D. While using the integration of AI, we should not ignore the importance of instructors.
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。
Do you love the idea of running — getting outdoors, burning calories, building cardio (有氧) fitness — but you wish you could do it without, you know, running ____36____.
Rucking means walking or hiking with a weighted pack. It's the fitness version of what they do in the military: marching long distances while carrying supplies in a rucksack. ____37____, you probably won’t carry hiking or military supplies, especially if you’re just going for a short ruck around your neighborhood. Instead, your pack will hold weights, or you might just use a weighted vest (背心).
Like running or other cardio, rucking is a form of steady-state cardio. ____38____, so it’s great for your cardio fitness. It also burns plenty of calories, so it can be useful in keeping or managing your weight.
Why not just walk, without the weight ____39____. If you already walk, and you’re ready for more of a challenge, your next best choices are walking faster, walking uphill, or walking with added weight. Rucking is that last one — but you can combine all of these factors when you ruck.
____40____ Yes, but people who really get into rucking will often buy special packs or use a weighted vest. If you already have a backpack you can use, do your first few rucks with that, just to see if you actually like rucking. You'll notice pretty quickly that a loose dumbbell in a backpack is uncomfortable. The quickest way to get started is to buy a bag of play sand and use a part of that, in a bag that’s taped shut, as your first rucking weight. It won’t have any hard edges to poke (刺) you, and you can add more sand to the pack as you get stronger.
A. Can I use a regular backpack for rucking
B. When you ruck as part of a fitness routine
C. Does the rucking benefit us a lot in keeping fit
D. If you can keep up a strong pace with that weight
E. It gets your heart rate up for an extended period of time
F. Try walking with a weighted pack instead, an activity known as “rucking”
G. Once you’ve achieved a basic level of fitness, walking is a very low-intensity exercise

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Recently I had the honor to join a media tour and travel to Qufu, Jining in Shandong Province — the birthplace of Confucius — which allowed me ____56____ (reflect) deeply on his sayings, a reminder of transformation — whether personal or societal — comes through steady, mindful action, no matter how ____57____ (slow) the journey may go on.
At the 2024 Confucius ceremonial event on September 28th, I was inspired by the lasting influence of Confucius’ teachings, stressing morality and virtuous behavior. I’ve seen this not only throughout the people I meet but also in its expansion across the world, ____58____ (carry) by education programs, including Confucius Institutes that help bridge cultures.
While visiting the Temple of Confucius, I realized that the ____59____ (strong) of his teachings lies in its simplicity, much like his saying about persistence. Each lesson in morality, responsibility and virtue builds upon the last, just as small, patient steps lead to great progress over time. This philosophy of steady perseverance creates ____60____ strong foundation for ____61____ (harmony) living.
The focus on relationships by Confucius, whether with family, colleagues or society, ____62____ (shape) how China interacts with the world already. I’ve come to see that the power of Shandong, and indeed China ____63____ a whole, is built on countless individual acts of responsibility and honesty.
This is much like the essence of Panda Diplomacy (外交), which reflects the country’s ongoing commitment to ____64____ (promote) grassroots friendship between China and other nations through giant pandas. This, ____65____ I’ve witnessed many times, represents the gradual yet dead-set progress towards building something lasting.

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。
When I went home for the weekend, my dad greeted me with a warm smile. “I’ve got some exciting news for you!” he said, his eyes shining with joy. “Your mom is pregnant. You’re going to have a baby brother or sister!”
I forced a smile, but inside, my heart sank. I couldn’t share their excitement, I was a teenager, enjoying the independence of middle school and my weekends at home. The idea of a new sibling (兄弟姐妹) felt like a disruption (扰乱) to the balance I had grown comfortable with. I didn’t need someone else to compete for my parents’ love and attention.
As the weeks passed, my mood worsened. Back at school, my teachers noticed my lack of enthusiasm (热情) and asked me what was wrong. At last, I opened up to my favorite teacher, Mr. Johnson. “Why do they need another child I’m enough for them,” I said. Mr. Johnson listened patiently, and then gently suggested, “Why don’t you talk to your parents about how you feel It might help.”
The following weekend, my parents sat me down for a heartfelt conversation. They sensed my sadness and wanted to understand what was bothering me. “Why do you need another baby ” I shouted. “I’m already here. Isn’t that enough ” My mom reached for my hand, her eyes soft with understanding. “We love you, This baby doesn’t change that. We’re just adding to our family, not replacing anyone.” Dad nodded, his voice calm and comforting, “You’re our first son, and nothing will ever change that. We want you to be a part of this experience with us, to be an older brother who this baby will look up to.”
Their words began to melt the ice in my heart. Slowly, I started to see things from a different viewpoint. Maybe this wasn’t about taking away love, but about adding more love to our family.
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。
I became excited and also helped my parents prepare for the baby brother’s or sister’s arrival.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Happily, my baby sister arrived in this world.

【原文】Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Museum of Bad Art! Yes, you heard it right — bad art. You might be wondering why we would celebrate something that seems so strange. But we believe that bad art brings out a different kind of beauty. I’m sure it will surprise you. At first, the co-founder, an art dealer named Scott Wilson, found a painting next to a garbage can and saved it. Then he put it on a special exhibition with some other unfavorable paintings. Unexpectedly, it became a huge hit. So, this museum is a reminder that creativity knows no limits, and that even the least liked pieces can move us deeply. As you journey through our collection, you will see pieces that challenge your traditional opinions of what art should be.
Paintings featuring odd figures, strange colors, and unique subjects will catch your eye. The other co-founder of the museum, Marie Jackson, said it was built to celebrate an artist’s right to fail. At the Museum of Bad Art, beautiful mistakes become unforgettable masterpieces.

I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda, and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.
24. What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety
A. He drowned it in chocolate. B. He escaped into a fantasy world.
C. He slept on the sofa leisurely. D. He conducted an experiment.
25. What does the author mean by the underlined part in Paragraph 2
A. Reading novels was a waste of time.
B. Reading a good book was time well spent.
C. He was too busy to take good care of his books.
D. The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected.
26. How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author
A. More sympathy went out to him.
B. His moral values were strengthened.
C. He learned much about religious diversity.
D. He gained new insight into his academic discipline.
27. What does the author think of the impact reading fiction books has on himself
A. Overestimated B. Underestimated C. Favourable D. Temporary
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C
C
Most of us like shortcuts — the ones that get us to a place faster, whether we have to walk through a few trees or jump over a wall. But how far would you go to make a really good shortcut Probably not as far as the Americans did when they built the Panama Canal, giving ships a quicker route between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific. When it opened in 1914, the canal cut the journey time from the east coast of the US to the west coast by as much as 15,000 kilometres.
This was not an easy shortcut. Panama had been chosen mainly because it was the narrowest part of Central America. But the land was mountainous and full of tropical rain forests and it was still more than 80 kilometres wide. It’s said that almost 6,000 workers died from making the canal between 1904 and 1913, but the real number is probably much higher.
As well as the difficult, dangerous job they had, those workers — many from the Caribbean — had to deal with heat, mosquitoes (蚊子), snakes and lots of rain. The result was a canal that has been called one of the wonders of the modern world.
Today, a ship entering the canal has to pass through three sets of locks. These are used like stairs, and they’re needed because the canal is not of the same height all the way through. The locks use lots of fresh water to lift up the boats-on average, 9 billion liters every day from lakes next to the canal.
And although Panama is a wet country, the climate is changing, and there is less water now than there used to be. The Panama Canal is still a shortcut for now, but it’s in danger.
28. How does the author develop Paragraph 1
A. By giving an example. B. By asking a question.
C. By referring to old writings. D. By making an assumption.
29. Why was the Panama Canal called a hard shortcut
A. Panama has complex geography characters.
B. 6, 000 workers died each year during its building process.
C. Panama always came across terrible weather.
D. Unknown wildlife increased challenges of making it.
30. What do you think of the locks using fresh water
A. It is a waste of natural resource.
B. It makes lakes next to the canal in danger.
C. It is a must to keep boats run smoothly.
D. It is a good way to deal with changeable climate.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Everyone Is Willing to Take Shortcuts
B. The Great Canal Facing Climate Changes
C. The Panama Canal Is an Important Shortcut
D. The Old Canal Lacking Water to Lift Boats
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. C
D
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational technology has brought convenience and efficiency to classrooms worldwide. However, despite these advancements, it is crucial to recognize the significant challenges it poses to the autonomy and professional judgment of instructors. One of the primary concerns associated with AI-driven tools in education is the depersonalization of instruction. These tools often rely on pre-packaged digital content and standardized solutions, leaving little room for instructors to tailor their teaching methods.
Each student possesses unique characteristics, including distinct learning styles, strengths and weaknesses. Instructors, armed with their wealth of experience and expertise, are best positioned to customize their approaches to meet these individual needs. They know how to adapt to their students' varying learning styles. However, AI-driven platforms restrict their ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to engage and inspire students to reach their maximum potential.
The implications of this depersonalization are far-reaching. By diminishing (降低) the role of instructors as facilitators of meaningful educational interactions, we run the risk of preventing the growth of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students.
Education should not merely focus on knowledge acquisition (习得), but should also develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply that knowledge in real-world contexts. It should help one's mind grow, not simply possess information. Through dynamic classroom discussions, cooperative projects and hands-on activities, instructors play a vital role in cultivating these essential skills. AI-driven platforms, with their standardized solutions and automated features, are ill-equipped to provide the same level of engagement and intellectual stimulation as human instructors. While AI-driven platforms undeniably have their advantages, we must not lose sight of the importance of preserving instructors' autonomy and the educational experience they provide.
32. What advantage do instructors have over AI-driven tools
A. They are more professional. B. They can satisfy individual needs.
C. They have higher efficiency. D. They adopt a one-size-fits-all approach.
33. In which aspect does depersonalization in education influence students
A. Their response in classroom discussions. B. Their ability in solving real life problems.
C. Their willingness to cooperate with others. D. Their adaptability to various learning styles.
34. What should education focus on apart from knowledge acquisition
A. Doing cooperative projects. B. Organizing hands-on activities.
C. Developing thinking ability. D. Evaluating students' development.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. We are taking the advantages of AI in education.
B. Instructors are more important than AI in education.
C. The influence of the integration of AI in educational technology.
D. While using the integration of AI, we should not ignore the importance of instructors.

Do you love the idea of running — getting outdoors, burning calories, building cardio (有氧) fitness — but you wish you could do it without, you know, running ____36____.
Rucking means walking or hiking with a weighted pack. It's the fitness version of what they do in the military: marching long distances while carrying supplies in a rucksack. ____37____, you probably won’t carry hiking or military supplies, especially if you’re just going for a short ruck around your neighborhood. Instead, your pack will hold weights, or you might just use a weighted vest (背心).
Like running or other cardio, rucking is a form of steady-state cardio. ____38____, so it’s great for your cardio fitness. It also burns plenty of calories, so it can be useful in keeping or managing your weight.
Why not just walk, without the weight ____39____. If you already walk, and you’re ready for more of a challenge, your next best choices are walking faster, walking uphill, or walking with added weight. Rucking is that last one — but you can combine all of these factors when you ruck.
____40____ Yes, but people who really get into rucking will often buy special packs or use a weighted vest. If you already have a backpack you can use, do your first few rucks with that, just to see if you actually like rucking. You'll notice pretty quickly that a loose dumbbell in a backpack is uncomfortable. The quickest way to get started is to buy a bag of play sand and use a part of that, in a bag that’s taped shut, as your first rucking weight. It won’t have any hard edges to poke (刺) you, and you can add more sand to the pack as you get stronger.
A. Can I use a regular backpack for rucking
B. When you ruck as part of a fitness routine
C. Does the rucking benefit us a lot in keeping fit
D. If you can keep up a strong pace with that weight
E. It gets your heart rate up for an extended period of time
F. Try walking with a weighted pack instead, an activity known as “rucking”
G. Once you’ve achieved a basic level of fitness, walking is a very low-intensity exercise

Dear fellow students,
In today’s fast-paced world, mental health is of great importance. A healthy mind not only helps us deal with academic pressure but also enables us to build better relationships and face all kinds of challenges with courage.
To have good mental health, we should learn to manage stress effectively. This can be done by engaging in regular physical exercise, which reduces anxiety. We can also practice relaxation techniques like meditation and deep breathing. Additionally, reaching out to friends, family, or advisers when we feel overwhelmed is crucial.
Now, our school is launching mental health education activities. I encourage all of you to participate actively. Let’s work together to create a positive and supportive environment for our mental well-being.
Yours,

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。
When I went home for the weekend, my dad greeted me with a warm smile. “I’ve got some exciting news for you!” he said, his eyes shining with joy. “Your mom is pregnant. You’re going to have a baby brother or sister!”
I forced a smile, but inside, my heart sank. I couldn’t share their excitement, I was a teenager, enjoying the independence of middle school and my weekends at home. The idea of a new sibling (兄弟姐妹) felt like a disruption (扰乱) to the balance I had grown comfortable with. I didn’t need someone else to compete for my parents’ love and attention.
As the weeks passed, my mood worsened. Back at school, my teachers noticed my lack of enthusiasm (热情) and asked me what was wrong. At last, I opened up to my favorite teacher, Mr. Johnson. “Why do they need another child I’m enough for them,” I said. Mr. Johnson listened patiently, and then gently suggested, “Why don’t you talk to your parents about how you feel It might help.”
The following weekend, my parents sat me down for a heartfelt conversation. They sensed my sadness and wanted to understand what was bothering me. “Why do you need another baby ” I shouted. “I’m already here. Isn’t that enough ” My mom reached for my hand, her eyes soft with understanding. “We love you, This baby doesn’t change that. We’re just adding to our family, not replacing anyone.” Dad nodded, his voice calm and comforting, “You’re our first son, and nothing will ever change that. We want you to be a part of this experience with us, to be an older brother who this baby will look up to.”
Their words began to melt the ice in my heart. Slowly, I started to see things from a different viewpoint. Maybe this wasn’t about taking away love, but about adding more love to our family.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I became excited and also helped my parents prepare for the baby brother’s or sister’s arrival. I picked out baby clothes with my mom, painted the nursery with soft colors, and even helped choose a name. I felt a sense of responsibility growing within me, realizing that I would be a role model and protector for this new life. The excitement began to overshadow my initial reservations, and I found myself eagerly anticipating the day when I would meet my little sibling.
Happily, my baby sister arrived in this world. The moment I held her in my arms, all my doubts and fears vanished. Her tiny fingers wrapped around mine, and I knew instantly that she was a part of me, just as I was a part of our family. I felt an overwhelming love and protection for her, wanting to shield her from any harm. As days turned into weeks and months, my relationship with my parents deepened as we navigated this new chapter together, and I realized that having a sibling had not taken away any love but had added even more joy and fulfillment to our lives.
