The first time I went to Germany with my boyfriend, I was very young and hadn’t been to many places. As soon as we arrived, I had this incredible revelation.“I know all about this area. The food, the language. I know all about the Schwarzwald, the Black Forest,”I said to his German family.“How do you know about this ” they asked, in disbelief.
That was the first time it dawned on me how much I knew about the rest of the world, and how prepared I was for it, just from growing up in New York City — that I had been everywhere before I’d ever actually gone anywhere.
I grew up in the Chelsea Projects, 288 10th Avenue at 26th Street. A lot of kids there were first generation Americans with immigrant parents who were still speaking Yiddish or Chinese or Portuguese, or just name a language, and they were speaking it. You ate every imaginable food from the rest of the world there. You were exposed to all different kinds of traditions.
It wasn’t just that. The whole city was a classroom. All over town, you learned stuff you didn’t even know you were learning. You didn’t have to be rich to learn it, either. My mom was a teacher — a great Head Start teacher — and she made sure I partook of everything New York had to offer people who didn’t have any money, because she knew it was the greatest education in the world.
We went to all the museums, which were free back then. We’d ride the bus to Lincoln Center, before it was Lincoln Center, and watch dancers dancing there. Or we’d take the train to Coney Island. Those trips are among my fondest memories.
New York City played a big part in making me who I am. It’s where I learned that I could pursue whatever I loved, but that I couldn’t be a slacker (偷懒的人). The city is everything you’ve heard it is. It’s crazy, it’s horrible, it’s magnificent, it’s beautiful. It’s a real live wire, hard to leave.
24. What contributed to the author’s knowledge of Germany
A. Her childhood experience. B. Her boyfriend’s descriptions.
C. Her past travel adventures. D. Her previous school education.
25. What can we learn about the author’s neighborhood
A. It was a tourist hotspot for traditions.
B. It was famous for its many restaurants.
C. Kids there were born outside of America.
D. Parents there spoke their mother tongues.
26. What did New York provide
A. Diverse learning opportunities. B. Quality education programs.
C. Financial support for parents. D. Welfare benefits for the poor.
27. From which book is the text most likely taken
A. Into Unknown Skies. B. Never Can Say Goodbye.
C. Mom is Always by My Side. D. Falling for the Hometown Girl.

In an oasis of green space sandwiched among Manhattan skyscrapers, one oddball stood out among the parkgoers Monday morning. It was a robot mower (割草机) named “Belawncé”. Looking like an oversize Roomba with heavy-duty wheels, it pilots itself with the help of an artificial intelligence camera system that resembles a pair of human eyes. After two to four hours of mowing, the robot navigates to a charging station.
For the past few months, the electric robot mower has taken over grass-clipping duties on the main lawn of Bryant Park, a small but heavily used public park. Toshi Yano, director of the park, said in an interview that the robot mower has proved effective, safe and more environmentally friendly than gas-powered, human-operated mowers.
Belawncé is a glimpse at the promise and the problems of using robots for tasks such as yard work. Bryant Park previously tried a couple of other robot mowers that were finicky. The prior robots would get stuck in certain parts of the park. To connect to satellites for navigation, at times the park needed one receiver on-site and another on a nearby office tower. Starting this spring, Bryant Park picked a model made by a company called Sunseeker. It has required less human intervention over time.
Unlike its pop star namesake, Belawncé and its fellow robot mowers aren’t beloved by all. Nanci Fioravanti, landscape manager for Green-Wood, a popular green space in Brooklyn that uses two robot mowers, has had to reassure staff worried about job losses from automation. Fioravanti also said that the robot mowers aren’t suited to steep areas of Green-Wood or where tree cover makes them lose signal.
Park officials made sure Belawncé navigated around or stopped for humans and wildlife. “Either the birds or the AI or some combination of both are doing what they’re supposed to do and avoiding one another,” Yano said.
28. What is a key feature of Belawncé
A. It is gas-powered. B. It looks human-like.
C It is uniquely shaped. D. It operates autonomously.
29. What does the underlined word “finicky” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Efficient. B. Demanding. C. Independent. D. Conventional.
30. What aspect concerning robot mowers was mentioned in paragraph 4
A. Their adaptability. B. Their limitations.
C. Their environmental value. D. Their maintenance costs.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To promote the use of robot mowers.
B. To call for a review of robot mowers.
C. To report on the adoption of a robot mower.
D. To present the development of a robot mower.
D
For some readers, a dictionary opens up a world. Dictionaries contain multiple pleasures, such as settling word-game wars by turning actual pages. For the rest, a dictionary is either outdated or strictly online. In 2012, Encyclopaedia Britannica stopped printing new editions, going digital-only.
In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.”
When I was a child, I loved dictionaries, and so did every sensible parent in Calcutta. If your child was literate, one of the 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary or an illustratedCollins was the surest way to keep them happily occupied, setting them off on hunts for lost or forgotten words.
Fatsis sees dictionary-making as “a human endeavor (努力) stretching back to the third millennium BCE”. From the Akkadians to Sanskrit scholars, what dictionary makers hoped to do went far beyond the already tricky task of writing definitions: their job was to explain and track “the endless shifts in language”.
Change is inevitable, though Fatsis also asks what we lose in the name of convenience. He writes, “the job of the dictionary was firmly established… By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language. Between traditional search engines and AI-enhanced search through LLMs (large language models), the way we look up words, and find meaning in language itself, has changed.”
We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.
32. What has reduced people’s reliance on physical dictionaries
A. The decline of the print media.
B. The convenience of online lookup.
C. People’s indifference to accuracy.
D. Publishers’ insistence on going digital.
33. What can we infer about the future of real-life lexicographers
A. Their workload will double.
B. They will remain in demand.
C. Their existence is threatened.
D. They need to upgrade their skills.
34. Why does the author stick to physical dictionaries
A. They boost long-term memory.
B. They last longer than digital files.
C. They offer an escape from screens.
D. They give more authoritative definitions.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Word in Favor of Dictionaries
B. My Love for Looking up Words
C. A Best-seller on the Theme of Change
D. Human Endeavors in Dictionary-making
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。选项这个有两项为多余选项。
Bossy, dominant, controlling—have these labels ever come to mind when you think of others or yourself Or have others used these terms to describe you However, control isn’t purely negative. ____36____ Its role in our lives is far more complicated. Let’s unpack it.
____37____ Air traffic controllers ensure planes’ safe navigation. Teachers who manage classes effectively create a thriving environment. Self-control, too, is a cornerstone (基石) of personal growth, helping us pursue long term goals. These all show how control can be a force for order and progress.
But when control changes into a strong desire to be in charge all the time and make others do exactly what you want, many problems will start to appear. Some individuals use threats, or even force to impose their will. ____38____ If you recognize such behavior in others or experience it yourself, seeking support from trusted adults is crucial—they can help address the harm.
Psychologists link the desire for control to underlying anxiety. When we feel uncertain or that we don’t know what to do in life, the need to manage every little thing becomes a way to deal with our feelings. And gradually, it becomes a negative cycle which gains strength. ____39____ Life’s changes often spark control urges. Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one trigger feelings of powerlessness. Transitions like starting a new school or moving to a different city can also disrupt our sense of stability. In such moments, the need to regain control becomes intense. ____40____
A. This can be a form of abuse.
B. Control has clear positive applications.
C This may worsen your self-confidence.
D. It’s a natural response to life’s unpredictability.
E. After all, your top priority is to rebuild certainty.
F. Actually, control doesn’t fit neatly into “good” or “bad” boxes.
G. If left unchecked, it can damage relationships and generate stress.

While all the other girls wore perfect ballet outfits, I showed up in my ___43___ hip-hop clothes. My face burned when Ms. Barton made me demonstrate a grand plié (大屈膝), then told the class, “This is exactly how not to do it.” That night, I almost ___44___.
But something ___45___ inside me refused to give up and I kept trying. While Ms. Barton never smiled, I started noticing little nodes of ___46___. Then came the shock — she asked me to join a ballet dance for our year-end show!
During ___47___, I tripped, I stumbled, but I kept going. On opening night, as the spotlight ___48___ me during the finale, all my nervousness ___49___. The audience’s cheers washed over me like warm sunshine.
Another ____50____ came on the last day of school. When Ms. Barton called my name for the “Ballerina” award, I nearly ____51____ my books. That serious teacher was actually smiling at me. As I received the award, a bit ____52____, I smiled back at Ms. Barton and said, “Thank you for challenging me.”
Holding the ____53____, I realized something important — my biggest ____54____ had become my proudest moment. In that instant, it hit me: When you ____55____ in life, make it part of your dance.

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。
It was a hot day in New York City. I had brunch with a friend and picked up my new glasses. All done and headed back on the train. I wanted to yell at a couple of people for their rude behavior, but wisely just sat quietly.
An old black gentleman entered the far end of the train car. In worn but neat clothes, he tipped his faded cap and greeted everyone with a warm “Good afternoon, folks.” Most ignored him, with cold blank faces. Then, he started to sing. I didn’t turn my head, but I felt a smile in my soul. Many people ask for money on the train, but I always feel happy when someone offers music instead. It feels like a gift.
I let the notes settle in for a second before my eyes wandered. A young boy across from me, maybe ten, watched him, swaying (摇摆) to the rhythm, his mother too distracted by her phone to notice.
He started his second song and my heart did a happy dance. “Lean on me, when you’re not strong. I’ll be your friend...” I love that song! Without thinking, I softly sang a little harmony with him. Right away, I decided he could have the $5 bill in my purse.
He looked tall and thin, but he had a strong voice and kind energy. Life had clearly been hard for him, but he still stood tall and carried himself with quiet dignity.
I rolled the bill tightly and waited for him to make his way to me. He held the overhead bar to steady himself as he inched down the car, pausing briefly beside each seat like he was waiting for a sign — though no one glanced up. No one was making any moves to give him coins or reach for their wallet.
注意：(1) 续写词数应为 150 左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Somehow, he noticed me singing along.

6. A 7. C

W: I make a plan and show it to the stage manager. We discuss if it matches the director’s vision.

【原文】M: This is the afternoon traffic update. A major accident involving several cars has occurred on the Harbour Bridge into the city, and it is now blocked in both directions. All traffic heading into the city is being directed to use another road, causing long delays of over an hour. Drivers are strongly advised to avoid this area and use a different bridge instead. Separately, on the M4 highway, a large truck has stopped working in the main lane near a popular exit, resulting in very slow traffic for those traveling away from the city. Emergency services are there to help, but delays are expected to last through the evening rush hour. Lastly, due to necessary repairs earlier today, train services on the T1 Western Line have started again but are running behind schedule by up to twenty minutes. Passengers should check the transport app for the latest information before they travel.

Dear classmates,
I’m glad to share my English learning journey with all of you. A year ago, I signed up for our school’s English Debate Club. At first, I lacked confidence. Thankfully, my teammates were incredibly supportive — they encouraged me to look for debate resources online and break down different perspectives on each topic. After months of consistent practice, I slowly grew more confident, and I could finally express my ideas clearly during debates.
I’ve gained two important takeaways from the experience. First, learning English through real-life scenarios like debates helps you master English much faster. Second, learning English in a group means you can get timely help when you’re stuck.
I hope my story can give you some useful inspiration, and I wish you great fun in your English learning! Thank you!
67. Somehow, he noticed me singing along. He looked up and slowly walked toward me, his eyes shining with surprise and warmth. I slipped the rolled bill into his rough hand, and he gave me a grateful nod. Then, leaning closer, he whispered, “Sing with me, sister.” Without hesitation, I joined him. Our voices blended, his strong and soulful, mine soft but steady. For a moment, the crowded train car felt like a tiny concert hall, filled not with heat and impatience, but with harmony.
It was still hot and sticky inside the car, but something had changed. One by one, passengers lifted their heads, listening. The young boy’s swaying turned into clapping, his laughter breaking through the dull silence. A few others began humming along, and even his mother put down her phone. When the song ended, coins and bills appeared in the man’s cap from every direction.
