My first guitar lesson at age 10 left my fingers sore and my mind confused, yet I felt mysteriously drawn to this instrument. Though practicing left raw skin and aching arms, the forming rough skin became marks of honor. Gradually, the guitar transformed from a painful challenge to a trusted friend. It became my voice when words failed: it helped me share feelings I couldn’t express aloud.
The guitar also connected me to others. One summer, my band played at hospitals and care homes. Seeing ill children dance and elderly listeners smile taught me music’s healing power. During travels abroad, I communicated with foreign musicians through melodies when language barriers existed — our guitars-built bridges where words couldn’t.
Each guitar holds a chapter of my life story. The classical guitar with warm tones witnessed my teenage growth. The bold 12-string guitar roared through my adventurous youth. My first electric guitar, chosen with my father decades ago, still carries the excitement of our bonding moment. Together, they form a living diary of my journey. In tough times, the guitar comforted me. When my mother was ill, playing it calmed my fears. It celebrated life’s joys too — winning my wife’s heart with love songs, entertaining my dancing children, and now hearing my son practice late at night, continuing our musical story.
I owe this lifelong passion to my mother’s wisdom. When I nearly quit, she insisted: “True treasures demand effort.” Her faith taught me that instruments aren’t mere objects — they’re soul mirrors reflecting our best selves. Everyone deserves to find their guitar, be it a paintbrush, a soccer ball, or a notebook. What matters is how it helps us grow, connect, and discover life’s beautiful harmony.
Fifty years later, I realize the guitar didn’t just teach me music — it shaped who I became. Its strings still create the soundtrack of my life, reminding me that passion and determination can turn struggles into wonderful memories.
24. What did the rough skin on the author’s fingertips symbolize
A. Mental pains from strict training. B. Pride in overcoming difficulties.
C. Medical marks for finger injuries. D. Confusion about guitar techniques.
25. What does the electric guitar mean to the author
A. It comforted his father. B. It entertained elderly listeners.
C. It builds up his family bonds. D. It stands for his exciting youth.
26. What does the author advise everyone to do in paragraph 4
A. Take a painting course. B. Respect your mother’s wisdom.
C. Try less demanding instrument. D. Discover a life-shaping tool.
27. What can we learn from the author’s guitar journey
A. Passion turns pains into treasures. B. Enthusiasm improves guitar techniques.
C. Childhood hobbies shape career choices. D. Mastering an instrument guarantees success.
C
Created as recently as 2011, and mainly played by those aged over 50, walking football is growing at a great pace in Britain. The game, where players walk rather than run, is designed to help aged people get fit or maintain an active lifestyle no matter what their age and fitness. According to a 2019 survey, there were 1,200 registered clubs and an estimated 40,000 regular participants.
North Ferriby Walking Football Club in East Yorkshire is one such example. “We started in 2015,” explains Mark Leighton, the team’s manager. “The first week we started off, we probably only had four or five players. Now we have 42 registered players taking part over three separate sessions each week.” Mark’s immediate goal is to get the club to 50 registered players across four sessions a week.
Andy Fairburn is a regular at the sessions. Now in his early-seventies, Andy finds the game still has plenty to offer him. “I’ve been playing football since 16. Getting older, your knees start to hurt, and I’ll know when it’s time to stop. I am sill competitive, though, and old habits die hard.”
It goes beyond kicking a football around for players like Andy. “There’s a serious football side if you want to win and a friendship side. I’d rather stick to the latter. It’s brilliant to socialize with people through walking football.”
Walking football is clearly a success story with much to be proud of. However, it’s striking that 87 per cent of clubs reported that less than 10 per cent of players are female. And not all clubs are as fortunate as North Ferriby Walking Football Club, which operates on a pay-as-you-go model and has secure sponsorship to reduce the cost burden.
28. What do we know about walking football
A．It is becoming popular in and outside Britain.
B．It has been played for dozens of years.
C．It is aimed at improving elderly people’s welfare.
D．It has the same rules as the normal football.
29. Why does the author mention North Ferriby Club in paragraph 2
A．To get more people involved in the game.
B．To illustrate the growth of walking football.
C．To praise Mark Leighton’s work for the club.
D．To suggest the ideal number of players in a club.
30. What does Andy Fairburn like most about walking football
A．The sport is good for his knees.
B．He doesn’t have to give up his habit.
C．Winning games makes him feel good.
D．He can make friends with new people.
31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．There’s work to be done to promote the game.
B．Most women don’t like playing football.
C．Walking football clubs can be profitable.
D．The findings of the 2019 survey are wrong.
D
It may surprise some people not familiar with the comic book industry, with its multibillion-dollar movie tie-ins (相关产品), that it has been on the edge of collapse multiple times over the decades. Now Al tools are adding new fears of a death knell.
From political censorship (审查) in the 1950s to a sales crash in the 1990s and the modern era of digital distribution, creators can be understandably opposed to a technology widely viewed as a vehicle for copyright theft.
Some artists are embracing generative AI despite tensions over its use, hoping to ride the disruptive wave like comic book creators have done time and again to survive. But many creators think AI’s advantages don’t outweigh its downsides. Amy Reeder, an established artist, believes she lost potential work due to the tech. “I’m pretty sure that I was offered and then lost a job because of AI,” she said.
Steve Ellis, an industry veteran (经验丰富的人) and art teacher, said he remains concerned about the potential barriers to entry Al could create in the comic book industry. He highlighted “the little gigs (工作) that get taken and all those little gigs take away the training wheels, the skill building” for young artists. “Talking to the students, they really are worried and affected and don’t know what to do, and I think some of them probably are considering how I use this in my work,” Ellis added.
Even some established artists with a secure position in the industry don’t feel safe, afraid that their copyrighted material is being stolen without payments, used to train the diffusion (扩散) models and added to commercial work without their say.
Comic artist Ben Caldwell argued that Al advocates often echo the views of a larger “anti-IP movement” looking to free up big corporate copyrights, such as those owned by Disney, “which is understandable in terms of wanting to prevent a lockdown of creativity, but has been in some cases blindly, in other cases deliberately, weaponized against small creators.”
32. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined words “death knell” in paragraph 1
A. A warning signal of decline. B. A tool for creative inspiration.
C. A proposal for copyright issues. D. A symbol of technological progress.
33. Why do some artists embrace generative AI
A. To create art in a brand-new style.
B. To replace traditional drawing with AI.
C. To follow the latest technological trend.
D. To stay competitive in the changing industry.
34. What is Steve Ellis’ main concern about Al in the comic industry
A. It reduces the number of comic books.
B. It causes more competition among artists.
C. It makes comic art education unnecessary.
D. It prevents the development of young artists.
35. What is Ben Caldwell’s attitude toward the “anti-IP movement”
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.

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。
When you think about people who have made the world a better place, you probably think of famous scientists or great leaders. That is not all the truth. 36 An act of kindness can bring a smile to a person's face even if only for a moment.
Give away your money. 37 For example, if you want to help hungry children, you can try to find an international organisation that provides food for those in poor areas. Every cent you give away will mean a lot.
Help a stranger. Your small actions can brighten the day of others. Hold the door for someone whose hands are full. Help the blind cross the street. 38 The key is expecting nothing in return for your acts of kindness.
Care about those you know. Show the people close to you how much you care about them. Tell them they mean a lot to you. Make a beautiful gift for a friend. Take your husband to his favourite fun place if he has had a hard week. 39
Be grateful to others. Have you had good service in a restaurant Thank the waiter. Do you have a very good neighbour who is always there when you need him or her Tell him or her how much you appreciate his or her being in your life.
40 If a friend needs skills in a certain area, offer your advice. Perhaps he or she is struggling to set up a computer, and you know how to do that. Offer whatever you can do, but always remember to be polite.
Keep walking forwards.
Share your knowledge.
Small steps, not big ones.
Give your seat on the bus to an old man.
Tell your children how much they mean to you.
Ordinary people like you and me can also help a lot.
Choose a charity that has meaning for you.

Young innovators competition bridges two countries
Jacob Thoensen, a 21-year-old student of the University of Nevada, Reno, in the United States, 56 (make) his very first visit to China this summer. Despite the long flight, he was excited, curious and full of wonder.
From the moment he arrived in Beijing, he felt like he had "stepped into a place 57 every corner tells a story, particularly through food", he says.
Every meal has been a new experience, from savory street food 58 carefully sliced Peking duck. He has gotten to know the city, where food isn't just about taste but also about 59 (connect), bringing people together across languages and cultures.
In addition to touring the city and 60 (visit) iconic places, such as the Forbidden City, the Great Wall and Zhongshan Park, he made new friends through the 2025 China-US Young Maker Competition. 61 (launch) in 2014, the China-US Young Maker Competition has attracted nearly 80,000 participants. The final event took place in the capital from Aug 2 to 3.
Along with 62 (he) three team members, who are also students from the US, Thoensen worked on a project called Fursphere, an AI-powered pet management platform.
By combining their computer vision with psychological modeling, the project assists pet owners in better understanding their furry 63 (companion) — turning technology into a bridge for deeper human-animal connections.
"We tried to make AI a personal service. We 64 (work) on the project for months. When we came to China to compete in the final, we were very excited to meet the other teams which, despite being from a different culture, share the same questions and dream the same kind of future," he says.
"I had the chance to talk, debate and create alongside some of the brightest, most passionate young innovators I've ever met. 65 didn't matter where we came from. We were all speaking the same languages — curiosity, creativity and courage."
He adds that the same spirit of blending tradition and innovation was alive in the finals.
Many teams from China reimagined tradition through technology — honoring the past while building something new.

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。
My grandmother wiped the coffee table for the third time, her movements quick and precise. The way she and my mother rushed around the apartment, one might have thought royalty（王室成员） was expected, not just my piano teacher, Miss Sheldon.
At 6:30, the table was set, but something felt wrong. The familiar smell of baked potatoes and chicken-fried steak — dishes I had specifically（专门） requested — was missing. Instead, the kitchen counter was crowded with plates of kibbeh (碎羊肉面饼), stuffed grape leaves, hummus, and other Lebanese (黎巴嫩的) dishes. My heart sank. My teacher, Miss Sheldon, is coming for a home visit and will have dinner with us. Miss Sheldon would never eat stuffed lamb!
Before I could say something, the doorbell rang. Miss Sheldon stood there, smiling warmly, accompanied（陪同） by a man named Ray, whom she introduced as her friend. My mother welcomed them warm-heartedly, and we all settled at the dining table. I prayed （祈祷）silently that my family wouldn’t embarrass me with my childhood stories.
To my surprise, my grandmother immediately began praising Miss Sheldon’s teaching, while my mother proudly served the unfamiliar dishes. When Ray and Miss Sheldon hesitantly took small portions （份）of the grape leaves and kibbeh, I held my breath, waiting for their polite but forced compliments （违心的夸赞）.
But then, something unexpected happened. Miss Sheldon’s eyes lit up after the first bite （咬）. She said excitedly how delicious the food was, and Ray enthusiastically（热情地） agreed, mentioning that his own mother often cooked Lebanese dishes.
The atmosphere shifted instantly. My grandmother’s face brightened as she learned that Ray’s mother was from Lebanon. The conversation flowed effortlessly （轻松地）, filled with shared cultural references and laughter. Even my mother’s embarrassing story about my childhood failed to weaken the mood.
By the end of the evening, what I had feared would be an awkward dinner turned into a joyful gathering. As Miss Sheldon and Ray left, they thanked my family warmly, with Ray even promising to bring his mother over for a kibbeh-making session （一段时间）.
Later, my mother gave me a knowing smile. “Still wish I’d made chicken-fried steak ” she joked. I sighed, unable to argue. For once, she had been right all along.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The following week, Ray kept his promise.
