The world’s finest beach clubs combine sun and sea views with excellent cuisine and first-class service. There are thousands of them across the globe, but a few stand out as truly noteworthy.
Gitano, Mexico
Reachable only by boat, this beach club offers a level of privacy that is hard to find somewhere else in Mexico. It owns a 120-meter private white-sand beach next to the Sian Ka’an biosphere reserve. The club features a restaurant and resting area right on the water, where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served.
Yazz Collective, Turkey
This remote hideaway focuses on connecting art, nature and personal experiences. The eco-conscious beach club offers services for relaxation but guests can also enjoy the serenity (静谧) of the sea while resting on a sunbed at the shore. For access, a two-night minimum stay at the hotel is required.
Carpe Diem, Croatia
This Pakleni Islands hangout allows for activities and relaxation in a space spanning two beaches, and is reachable only by boat. Luxury sunbeds, freshly caught seafood, diving, transparent kayaking (独木舟), natural shade are among the daytime highlights.
Potato Head, Bali

Liu Jiakun, born in Chengdu in 1956, discovered his passion for architecture through his love of drawing. He graduated from the Chongqing Institute of Architecture and Engineering in 1982. Driven by his fearless spirit and artistic enthusiasm, he volunteered to work in Nagqu, Tibet — one of the world’s highest and harshest regions.
In 1999, Liu established Jiakun Architects in his hometown of Chengdu. Since then, he has completed over 30 architectural projects across China. Rather than pursuing flashy or showy designs, Liu is known for honoring existing conditions and uplifting the human spirit through his work.
One of his most notable projects is the “West Village” in Chengdu, completed in 2015. This five-story courtyard complex integrates cultural, athletic, recreational and commercial spaces. It wraps around an entire city block and features open pathways for cyclists and pedestrians, creating a mini-village that connects people with their environment.
Liu’s architectural philosophy emphasizes integration with both social and natural contexts. His design for the Shuijingfang Museum, completed in 2013, exemplifies (例证) this approach. The museum, which showcases the history of Chinese baijiu liquor, carefully preserves the 600-year-old distillery (酿酒厂) site and respects the scale of surrounding low-rise residences. “I want my architecture to coexist with nature while reflecting the character of the local environment,” Liu explained in an interview.
When Liu Jiakun was awarded the Pritzker Prize, jury chairman Alejandro Aravena praised him for his thoughtful and consistent approach. “In a world that tends to be dull, he has found a way to build spaces, combining buildings, infrastructure, landscape, and public areas, which are both coherent and inspiring,” Aravena stated. “He approaches each project uniquely, guided by its specific context and requirements, free from aesthetic or stylistic limitations.”
Through a body of work marked by sensitivity, integrity, and humanism, Liu Jiakun continues to imagine and shape environments where architecture serves people and place in equal measure.
4. Which of the following words can best describe Liu Jiakun
A. Reliable and persistent. B. Faithful and sympathetic.
C. Courageous and talented. D. Generous and innovative.
5. What is Liu Jiakun’s architectural feature
A. Focus on visual effect. B. Pursuit of urbanization.
C. Integration with surroundings. D. Combination with foreign styles.
6. What does Aravena mainly talk about
A. Influence of Liu’s designing style. B. Concept of Liu’s distinctive design.
C. Journey of Liu’s academic life. D. Overview of Liu’s famous works.
7. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A travel guidebook. B. A biography of an architect.
C. A school textbook. D. An architectural magazine.
C
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said last week that artificial intelligence could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years, making the unemployment rate as high as 20%. Is that true
Humans have experienced several technological disruptions (扰乱) before, and now we have adapted to meet them. AI won’t be any different. There was a time when the elevators in hotels and office buildings were staffed by human operators. Then in the 1930s, elevator companies began installing “robot elevators” with automatic controls, and eventually elevator operators completely disappeared, with no tide of unemployment.
Some people see AI as a job killer. However, research shows that broad adoption of AI could boost the country’s productivity growth by 1.5% per year, resulting in higher salaries, higher profits and more savings. Those people do not realize that the savings from increased productivity is recycled back into the economy. This creates new demand and in turn creates more jobs. Some are entirely new, such as “content creator assistant,” and others are existing jobs that are higher in demand because people have more money to spend — for example, personal trainers.
Further, there is a great deal of work that only humans can do. Self-driving school buses will still need an adult to watch the kids. As for police, AI robots won’t be arresting criminals anytime soon. It’s a similar story for CEOs, fashion models and flight attendants. Most occupations involve working with other people, with things or with ideas that are too complex for AI to handle alone.
Let’s imagine that Mr. Amodei’s forecast turns out to be accurate. Entry-level white-collar jobs account for less than 15% of the U. S. labor force. Wiping out half of them in five years would mean roughly 2.6 million jobs lost per year. That sounds like a lot, but the fact is that about 20 million U. S. workers are laid off every year. In other words, the supposed AI job loss, even if it occurred, would be the equivalent of only about six weeks of normal labor-market disturbance.
8. Why is “elevator operators” mentioned
A. To justify a job. B. To illustrate a point.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To make a prediction.
9. What do people viewing AI as a job killer fail to understand
A. Jobs lost will be lost forever. B. Some jobs will never disappear.
C. Application of AI creates jobs. D. Jobs involving AI are in demand.
10. What does the last paragraph focus on
A. What effects AI has on the U. S. labor-market. B. What makes Mr. Amodei make the prediction.
C. Why Mr. Amodei’s forecast makes little sense. D. Why we should take AI development seriously.
11. What does the author mainly argue for
A. It’s time to get ready for AI’s arrival. B. Humans have adapted to AI advances.
C. Some jobs are not suitable for AI to do. D. AI is not responsible for unemployment.
D
How should water flow through fields What directions and widths are appropriate for ridge (田埂) planting Where should more fertilizer be applied, and where should less be applied These once-general farming questions have now become precise, science-guided considerations in China's efforts to protect its valuable farmland.
The black soil in the northeastern provinces is often called the “giant panda of cultivated land” due to its scarcity (稀缺) and fertility. Over the years, it has suffered varying degrees of degradation, mainly due to over-exploitation (过度开发) and climate change. Scientists are now developing tailored cultivation techniques and conservation measures to safeguard food security and ecological balance there.
To address this, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with other relevant authorities, launched the “Black Soil Granary” program in 2021. The initiative aims to provide scientific and technological support to control soil degradation and promote modern agricultural practices.
So far, scientists have created a comprehensive solution that enables a systematic understanding of the black soil. This includes detailed diagnostics, customized recommendations, and technical treatments. Integrating remote sensing, satellite positioning, and artificial intelligence, researchers have even developed an advanced mobile app that connects with smart agricultural machinery. This app provides farmers with real-time information on soil composition, weather conditions, crop growth, natural disasters, and yield forecasts. It also offers precise farming guidance, including how to fertilize, irrigate, sow seeds, and spray pesticides. The app can generate detailed fertilization maps and transmit them directly to intelligent machines, which then adjust fertilizer quantities on the go, enhancing efficiency while reducing environmental impact.
The results have been significant. Fertilizer use has dropped by 5 to 15 percent, while yields have risen by 5.48 to 14.2 percent. On nine pilot farms, grain production has increased by 5 to 22 percent, and soil erosion has been reduced by 70 percent.
12. Why is the black soil called the “giant panda of cultivated land”
A. Because it is vital and dear. B. Because it is rare and fertile.
C. Because it is rich and abundant. D. Because it is fragile and endangered.
13. What does the underlined word “degradation” probably mean
A. Lessening. B. Worsening. C. Desertification. D. Pollution.
14. What does the author try to illustrate by listing the figures in the last paragraph
A. Effective guidance. B. Successful preservation.
C. Impressive improvements. D. Remarkable policies.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. Sci-tech methods tailored for black soil B. Natural forces causing black soil decline
C. Smart farming apps designed for black soil D. Protection measures boosting black soil yield

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。
Remember the last time you bought a new tech gadget (小型产品), say, a smart phone You likely bought it because you heard good things about it from friends. It makes sense. Decades of research have shown how positive word-of-mouth can lead consumers to buy a product. ___16___
We found that the more people had heard others talking about their new product, the more worried and anxious they felt about using it. What’s more, the more worried and anxious they felt, the more cautious they were in using their new product. ___17___ Thus these less satisfied consumers were more likely to spread negative word-of-mouth.
___18___ It all comes down to social pressure. As consumers hear more “This app is awesome!!” from others about a new product, it makes them both more likely to buy and more likely to worry that they won’t be able to use the app as well as other people. ___19___ This worry and caution makes them less likely to fully explore and learn the app, making their experience with the app less positive overall.
So how can companies maintain the benefits of positive word-of-mouth but avoid the downsides we observe One possible answer is to avoid emphasizing performance and competence in their advertising. ___20___ Also sharing stories about learning and exploring while using a new product, and even about temporary failures, could lessen the pressure to perform, and help consumers successfully and happily use their new products.
A. The caution led to lower levels of satisfaction.
B. This will make consumers order more cautiously.
C. How will word-of-mouth influence future purchase
D. Will they be able to experience its full awesomeness
E. However, our study identified some potential downsides.
F. Why does hearing positive word-of-mouth have downsides
G. Encourage consumers spreading word-of-mouth to do the same.

Mark and Daniel were next-door neighbors. Every summer the two families held backyard barbecues together, with Mark bringing homemade dumplings and Daniel’s wife preparing her famous cakes. During holidays, they exchanged small but thoughtful gifts.
One June, Mark began building a new garden shed to store his tools. He hired a construction team that worked quickly but not carefully. Large wooden boards and sharp nails were piled dangerously close to Daniel’s fence. Daniel noticed that and warned the workers to be more careful, but the warning was brushed off.
Then it happened. A sudden summer storm hit the town. Strong winds knocked over the pile of wood. The damage to Daniel’s garden was awful—his wife’s prized rose bushes, which she had been nurturing (培育) for over fifteen years, were crushed and destroyed.
She was heartbroken. Failing to comfort her, Daniel stormed over to Mark’s house, demanding an apology and help with the repairs. But Mark, who had just returned from work and was tired and stressed, felt wrongly accused.
“It’s not on purpose,” he said sharply. “You can’t blame me for the weather.”
“But it wouldn’t have happened if your workers had listened!” Daniel argued.
Voices were raised, fingers pointed, and neither side was willing to back down. That day, a long-standing friendship cracked under pressure. From then on, they stopped greeting each other and even avoided eye contact. Days passed. Seasons changed. But the cold silence remained.
Winter came. One day, Daniel caught a glimpse of Mark and noticed he was in a wheelchair with a cast (石膏) on his leg. Daniel hesitated about going over but his feet remained.
A heavy snowstorm quietly arrived that night, blanketing the neighborhood in thick, icy snow. When morning came, driveways were buried, and doors were nearly frozen shut. Men came out of their houses to clear the driveways.
By the window Mark looked at his broken leg and sighed, “My responsibility! But now there’s no chance for me to make it.”
At noon, Daniel noticed Mark’s driveway was still covered with thick snow.
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。
Daniel decided to help.

C
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said last week that artificial intelligence could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years, making the unemployment rate as high as 20%. Is that true
Humans have experienced several technological disruptions (扰乱) before, and now we have adapted to meet them. AI won’t be any different. There was a time when the elevators in hotels and office buildings were staffed by human operators. Then in the 1930s, elevator companies began installing “robot elevators” with automatic controls, and eventually elevator operators completely disappeared, with no tide of unemployment.
Some people see AI as a job killer. However, research shows that broad adoption of AI could boost the country’s productivity growth by 1.5% per year, resulting in higher salaries, higher profits and more savings. Those people do not realize that the savings from increased productivity is recycled back into the economy. This creates new demand and in turn creates more jobs. Some are entirely new, such as “content creator assistant,” and others are existing jobs that are higher in demand because people have more money to spend — for example, personal trainers.
Further, there is a great deal of work that only humans can do. Self-driving school buses will still need an adult to watch the kids. As for police, AI robots won’t be arresting criminals anytime soon. It’s a similar story for CEOs, fashion models and flight attendants. Most occupations involve working with other people, with things or with ideas that are too complex for AI to handle alone.
Let’s imagine that Mr. Amodei’s forecast turns out to be accurate. Entry-level white-collar jobs account for less than 15% of the U. S. labor force. Wiping out half of them in five years would mean roughly 2.6 million jobs lost per year. That sounds like a lot, but the fact is that about 20 million U. S. workers are laid off every year. In other words, the supposed AI job loss, even if it occurred, would be the equivalent of only about six weeks of normal labor-market disturbance.
8. Why is “elevator operators” mentioned
A. To justify a job. B. To illustrate a point.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To make a prediction.
9. What do people viewing AI as a job killer fail to understand
A. Jobs lost will be lost forever. B. Some jobs will never disappear.
C. Application of AI creates jobs. D. Jobs involving AI are in demand.
10. What does the last paragraph focus on
A. What effects AI has on the U. S. labor-market. B. What makes Mr. Amodei make the prediction.
C. Why Mr. Amodei’s forecast makes little sense. D. Why we should take AI development seriously.
11. What does the author mainly argue for
A. It’s time to get ready for AI’s arrival. B. Humans have adapted to AI advances.
C. Some jobs are not suitable for AI to do. D. AI is not responsible for unemployment.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D
D
How should water flow through fields What directions and widths are appropriate for ridge (田埂) planting Where should more fertilizer be applied, and where should less be applied These once-general farming questions have now become precise, science-guided considerations in China's efforts to protect its valuable farmland.
The black soil in the northeastern provinces is often called the “giant panda of cultivated land” due to its scarcity (稀缺) and fertility. Over the years, it has suffered varying degrees of degradation, mainly due to over-exploitation (过度开发) and climate change. Scientists are now developing tailored cultivation techniques and conservation measures to safeguard food security and ecological balance there.
To address this, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with other relevant authorities, launched the “Black Soil Granary” program in 2021. The initiative aims to provide scientific and technological support to control soil degradation and promote modern agricultural practices.
So far, scientists have created a comprehensive solution that enables a systematic understanding of the black soil. This includes detailed diagnostics, customized recommendations, and technical treatments. Integrating remote sensing, satellite positioning, and artificial intelligence, researchers have even developed an advanced mobile app that connects with smart agricultural machinery. This app provides farmers with real-time information on soil composition, weather conditions, crop growth, natural disasters, and yield forecasts. It also offers precise farming guidance, including how to fertilize, irrigate, sow seeds, and spray pesticides. The app can generate detailed fertilization maps and transmit them directly to intelligent machines, which then adjust fertilizer quantities on the go, enhancing efficiency while reducing environmental impact.
The results have been significant. Fertilizer use has dropped by 5 to 15 percent, while yields have risen by 5.48 to 14.2 percent. On nine pilot farms, grain production has increased by 5 to 22 percent, and soil erosion has been reduced by 70 percent.
12. Why is the black soil called the “giant panda of cultivated land”
A. Because it is vital and dear. B. Because it is rare and fertile.
C. Because it is rich and abundant. D. Because it is fragile and endangered.
13. What does the underlined word “degradation” probably mean
A. Lessening. B. Worsening. C. Desertification. D. Pollution.
14. What does the author try to illustrate by listing the figures in the last paragraph
A. Effective guidance. B. Successful preservation.
C. Impressive improvements. D. Remarkable policies.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. Sci-tech methods tailored for black soil B. Natural forces causing black soil decline
C. Smart farming apps designed for black soil D. Protection measures boosting black soil yield
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A

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。
Remember the last time you bought a new tech gadget (小型产品), say, a smart phone You likely bought it because you heard good things about it from friends. It makes sense. Decades of research have shown how positive word-of-mouth can lead consumers to buy a product. ___16___
We found that the more people had heard others talking about their new product, the more worried and anxious they felt about using it. What’s more, the more worried and anxious they felt, the more cautious they were in using their new product. ___17___ Thus these less satisfied consumers were more likely to spread negative word-of-mouth.
___18___ It all comes down to social pressure. As consumers hear more “This app is awesome!!” from others about a new product, it makes them both more likely to buy and more likely to worry that they won’t be able to use the app as well as other people. ___19___ This worry and caution makes them less likely to fully explore and learn the app, making their experience with the app less positive overall.
So how can companies maintain the benefits of positive word-of-mouth but avoid the downsides we observe One possible answer is to avoid emphasizing performance and competence in their advertising. ___20___ Also sharing stories about learning and exploring while using a new product, and even about temporary failures, could lessen the pressure to perform, and help consumers successfully and happily use their new products.
A. The caution led to lower levels of satisfaction.
B. This will make consumers order more cautiously.
C. How will word-of-mouth influence future purchase
D. Will they be able to experience its full awesomeness
E. However, our study identified some potential downsides.
F. Why does hearing positive word-of-mouth have downsides
G. Encourage consumers spreading word-of-mouth to do the same.
【答案】16. E 17. A 18. F 19. D 20. G

【答案】One possible version:
Dear friends, I’m truly honored to share my thoughts on “Lifelong Learning” with you today. As the saying goes, “Never too old to learn.” In a rapidly changing world it is vital to remain lifelong learners. Lifelong learning enables us to fuel endless curiosity, unlock new possibilities and equip us with skills to adapt to new challenges. Without it, we risk being left behind in this fast-paced world.
As for me, I integrate lifelong learning into my daily life. To begin with, I make it a daily habit to read books on various topics, ranging from literature to science, which can sharpen my critical thinking and affect my character shaping. Additionally, joining clubs allows me to gain hands-on skills such as gardening, bridging theory with practice. Moreover, field trips, like visits to museums, offer me an immersive learning experience and bring abstract knowledge to life. What’s equally worth mentioning is that I also subscribe to e-learning courses to expand knowledge beyond the school curriculum.
In conclusion, in a world of constant changes, we should never cease to learn. Only by refreshing our knowledge and updating our skills continuously can we stay adaptable and competitive.
Thank you!

47. 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。
Mark and Daniel were next-door neighbors. Every summer the two families held backyard barbecues together, with Mark bringing homemade dumplings and Daniel’s wife preparing her famous cakes. During holidays, they exchanged small but thoughtful gifts.
One June, Mark began building a new garden shed to store his tools. He hired a construction team that worked quickly but not carefully. Large wooden boards and sharp nails were piled dangerously close to Daniel’s fence. Daniel noticed that and warned the workers to be more careful, but the warning was brushed off.
Then it happened. A sudden summer storm hit the town. Strong winds knocked over the pile of wood. The damage to Daniel’s garden was awful—his wife’s prized rose bushes, which she had been nurturing (培育) for over fifteen years, were crushed and destroyed.
She was heartbroken. Failing to comfort her, Daniel stormed over to Mark’s house, demanding an apology and help with the repairs. But Mark, who had just returned from work and was tired and stressed, felt wrongly accused.
“It’s not on purpose,” he said sharply. “You can’t blame me for the weather.”
“But it wouldn’t have happened if your workers had listened!” Daniel argued.
Voices were raised, fingers pointed, and neither side was willing to back down. That day, a long-standing friendship cracked under pressure. From then on, they stopped greeting each other and even avoided eye contact. Days passed. Seasons changed. But the cold silence remained.
Winter came. One day, Daniel caught a glimpse of Mark and noticed he was in a wheelchair with a cast (石膏) on his leg. Daniel hesitated about going over but his feet remained.
A heavy snowstorm quietly arrived that night, blanketing the neighborhood in thick, icy snow. When morning came, driveways were buried, and doors were nearly frozen shut. Men came out of their houses to clear the driveways.
By the window Mark looked at his broken leg and sighed, “My responsibility! But now there’s no chance for me to make it.”
At noon, Daniel noticed Mark’s driveway was still covered with thick snow.

Daniel decided to help.

A snow-cleared driveway appeared before Mark and his family.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Daniel decided to help. He dressed warmly, picked up his snow shovel, and stepped into the cold. Without a word, he walked to Mark’s driveway and began to clear the heavy snow. Soon, the sound of scraping echoed through the quiet neighborhood. Inside, Mark’s wife noticed and quickly joined Daniel with a broom, brushing the steps and path. Mark watched from the window, emotion tightening his chest. The sight of Daniel working steadily, despite the past, made something shift inside him.
A snow-cleared driveway appeared before Mark and his family. Mark rolled to the door, the cold air rushing in as he looked at the giant figure in the snow. “Thank you,” he said simply, his voice uncertain but sincere. Daniel gave a quiet nod, eyes soft but steady. Mark paused, then added, “I was wrong that day…tired or not, I shouldn’t have yelled. I’m truly sorry about the roses, and everything.” Daniel’s gaze softened further. That evening, Mark’s wife brought over dumplings; Daniel’s wife returned the gesture with slices of cake. The snow kept falling, but between the two homes, warmth had quietly returned—built not by words, but by forgiveness and shared kindness.
