二、阅读理解
The Best Movies of the Past Years
The Kid
It sometimes seems there’s an invisible force in the universe that we must all love Charlie Chaplin. His character in the movie finds an abandoned baby on the street and takes him home. These two are both a family and a team, held close by genuine joy in one another’s company. When they’re torn apart, it’s heartbreaking; when they’re reunited, it restores our faith in the order of the universe. Like many of Chaplin’s projects, the production of the film was full of humor.
Bicycle Thieves
There are few greater film watching experiences than Bicycle Thieves. On Antonio’s first day of work, his bicycle is stolen, and he and his young son Bruno set out to get it back, a quest of desperation and need that at first strengthens the father son bond, before nearly tearing it apart. What is even more impressive is that the director used no studio sets — all of the settings are real life locations in Rome.
The Night of the Shooting Stars
The movie, set in Tuscany, follows a group of citizens who leave their village just before their houses are set to be blown up by the Nazis (纳粹). The story is told through the eyes of six year old Cecilia, who sees the event as a great adventure. The movie is a mixture of comedy, fantasy and sorrowful drama.
Let There Be Light
It is a deeply moving documentary that describes, specifically, the effects of wartime trauma (创伤) on soldiers but also, more generally, the way men who have never been encouraged to talk about their feelings must find a way to do so in order to heal.
21．What type of film might The Kid be
A．History. B．Comedy. C．Romance. D．Science fiction.
22．Which aspect of Bicycle Thieves might impress the audiences most
A．Its filming spots. B．Its special effects.
C．Its excellent actors. D．Its exciting plot.
23．What do The Night of the Shooting Stars and Let There Be Light have in common
A．They are of the same type.
B．They have elements of comedy.
C．They have the same shooting angle.
D．They involve the influence of wars.
Carl Allamby started his car repair business at the tender age of 19. Over the years, it had grown into two shops with 11 workers, but Allamby had become uneasy, longing for something more. Therefore, at the age of 34, he decided to go for his bachelor’s degree in business management.
After taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take biology to get his degree, which later turned out to be the best thing that ever happened. Biology classes reawakened a childhood dream that he had hidden somewhere deep within himself.
Born in East Cleveland, Ohio, Allamby was raised by his stay-at-home mother and a father who sold home goods door-to-door. His school didn’t offer the advanced science classes that might have led him on a premed (医学预科的) path. Even if it had, doing well in school could prove dangerous. “You could get into a lot of trouble just for being the class nerd (讨厌的人),” Allamby said. So he set aside the thoughts of becoming a doctor and started fixing cars instead.
But a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class at age 39. He was ready to live his dream. With the support of his family he soon decided to skip business school to take science classes. Becoming a doctor was late and he would become a nurse instead, he reasoned. But Allamby’s chemistry professor told him “Why not a doctor You have a great talent for the work. You will go a long way.” The professor was right and Allamby did very well.
In 2015, Allamby cut ties with his past, and then he started at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, Carl Allamby became Carl Allamby, MD．He took a job in emergency medicine at Cleveland Clinic Akron General.
“How many people can do something so brand-new at such a late stage in their life ” he said. “My age and past career are all good reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.”
24．Why was taking biology “the best thing that ever happened” to Allamby
A．It ensured him a bachelor’s degree.
B．It developed his potential to become a doctor.
C．It brought about positive transition in his life.
D．It satisfied his childhood curiosity about doctors.
25．What is the author’s purpose in writing Para. 3
A．To describe Allamby’s difficulty in school.
B．To introduce Allamby’s family background.
C．To explain why Allamby once gave up his dream.
D．To show how Allamby struggled in his childhood.
26．What do we know from the chemistry professor’s words
A．He appreciated Allamby’s courage.
B．He recognized Allamby’s capability.
C．He suggested Allamby should aim lower.
D．He thought Allamby was too old to be a doctor.
27．What does Allamby’s story mainly tell us
A．Failure is the mother of success.
B．Education holds the key to success.
C．A tough man can bear great suffering.
D．It’s never too late to pursue your dream.
Students who are better able to understand and manage their emotions effectively, a skill known as emotional intelligence (EI), do better at school than their less-skilled classmates, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
“It’s not enough to be smart and hardworking. Students must also be able to understand and manage their emotions to succeed at school,” said Carolyn MacCann, lead author of the study. MacCann and her colleagues analyzed data from more than 160 studies, representing more than 42,000 students from 27 countries, published between 1998 and 2019. The students ranged in age from primary school to college. The researchers found that students with higher EI tended to get higher grades and better achievement test scores than those with lower EI scores. This finding held true even when controlling for intelligence and personality factors. What was most surprising to the researchers was the association held despite different ages.
As for why EI can affect academic performance, MacCann believes a number of factors may come into play. “Students with higher EI may be better able to manage negative emotions, such as anxiety, boredom and disappointment, which can negatively affect academic performance,” she said. “Also, these students may be better able to manage the social world around them, forming better relationships with teachers, classmates and family, all of which are important to academic success.” Finally, the skills required for EI, such as understanding human motivation and emotion, may overlap with (与……重叠) the skills required to master certain subjects, such as history and language, giving students an advantage in those subject areas, according to MacCann.
However, MacCann cautions against widespread testing of students to identify and target those with low EI as it may stigmatize (给……打上烙印) those students. Instead, she recommends interventions that involve the whole school, including additional teacher training and a focus on teacher well-being and emotional skills. “Programs that integrate emotional skill development into the existing curriculum would be beneficial, as research suggests that training works better when run by teachers rather than external specialists,” she said. “Increasing skills for everyone — not just those with low EI—would benefit everyone.”
28．What surprised the researchers most during MacCann’s study
A．Intelligence mattered more than EI for academic success.
B．EI had an effect on learning for students of all ages.
C．College students benefited more from EI than pupils.
D．Personality affected academic performance greatly.
29．What can be a reason for the conclusion of MacCann’s study
A．High-EI students hardly experience negative emotions.
B．High-EI students seldom develop social relationships.
C．High-EI students tend to easily focus on their study.
D．High-EI students have helpful skills for certain subjects.
30．What does MacCann suggest in the last paragraph
A．Equipping teachers with emotional skills.
B．Designing tests to identify students with low EI.
C．Developing special programs for students with low EI.
D．Employing emotional specialists to give training to students.
31．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Should EI be taught in school
B．How can students develop high EI
C．Students with high EI do better in school
D．Good students do better in managing emotions
In the cutthroat world of artificial intelligence, long dominated by Silicon Valley, DeepSeek has emerged as an impressive new player. Since its debut in late 2023, this Chinese AI has stirred global attention, representing more than just another technological innovation. It’s a complex phenomenon that reflects the shifting landscape of innovation, power and cultural influence in the AI-driven era.
Developed by QuantumThink Labs in Shenzhen, DeepSeek was created by a team of ex-Google Brain engineers and Peking University experts. DeepSeek is not your average chatbot. Trained on an astonishing 20 trillion tokens, this multimodal model showcases linguistic proficiency, code generation capabilities and reasoning skills that rival or surpass its Western counterparts. What truly sets DeepSeek apart is its remarkable efficiency, delivering GPT-4-level performance with 30 percent less computational power.
In a strategic move, QuantumThink made a “lite” version of DeepSeek open source, a decision that has sparked widespread adoption across the globe. Developers from cities like Lagos to Jakarta have quickly embraced it to create poetry generators and AI-powered farm management tools for rural India.
However, DeepSeek’s growing influence is not without challenges. There are concerns that US government may block American firms from using DeepSeek, mentioning data security concerns. Tariff (关税) war could also be on the cards. Yet, such moves might backfire, potentially harming US startups that benefit from DeepSeek’s cost advantages.
The future of AI, with DeepSeek at the center, remains a mystery. Will it trigger a tech battle between the US and China, or will its open-source roots foster global collaboration DeepSeek’s story is not just about technology; it’s about the power of innovation and agency.
For too long, the AI narrative has been dominated by Western powers. Now, a Chinese lab has shown that innovation is not exclusive to the West. Whether we enter an AI arms race or begin a new era of global cooperation depends on how we choose to use and share this technology. As a Brazilian coder said, the future of AI must speak the language of both the developed and developing world to truly succeed.
32．What does the second paragraph mainly talk about
A．The creation of DeepSeek. B．The definition of DeepSeek.
C．The strengths of DeepSeek. D．The efficiency of DeepSeek.
33．What might be a challenge DeepSeek faces
A．Involvement in tariff war. B．The possibility of data leaking.
C．A decline in its competitiveness. D．A ban on its use from US government.
34．Which of the following best describes the future of AI
A．Uncertain. B．Secure. C．Promising. D．Depressing.
35．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．AI should prioritize Western languages.
B．We will enter a new era of global AI cooperation.
C．Considering global needs is required to ensure AI’s success.
D．Developing countries will eventually dominate AI innovation.

I love and enjoy playing the piano. So when the recital (音乐演奏会) was 41 , I was disappointed. I had expected it for long and already 42 my best songs.
However, Mom turned this 43 into something worthwhile. “You should 44 at Carriage House Manor.

But my 50 melted away as I played on.
The dinner hour flew by. One woman got up and began to cheerfully 51 about the room to the beat of the 52 while others snapped their fingers (打响指). I was 53 to see how music brought big smiles to their faces.

四、语法填空

Many people mistakenly believe that the ability 56 (learn) is a matter of intelligence. They use phrases like “practice makes perfect” without really considering the learning strategy at play. So why bother getting better at it
A growing body of research is making it clear 57 learners are made, not born. Through the 58 (practice) use of plans and strategies, we can all develop our learning skill faster and more 59 (effective). In short, we can all get better at getting better.
In order to develop an area of expertise (专长), we first have to set achievable 60 (goal) about what we want to learn. Then we make plans to help us stay on track. Of equal importance 61 (be) metacognition defined by psychologists as “thinking about thinking”. Broadly speaking, it’s a matter of asking 62 (we) questions like: Do I really get this idea Could I explain it to a friend In our learning, we also benefit from reflection, 63 requires a moment of calm. Sleep is a fascinating example of this idea. It 64 (turn) out that we tidy up our knowledge while we’re napping or sleeping deeply.
The good news from all of this — for individuals and for companies looking to help their employees be their best — is that learning is 65 learned behavior. Being a quick study doesn’t mean you’re the smartest person in the room. It’s that you’ve learned how to learn.

六、书面表达
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。
Everyone likes the beautiful Cinderella, but I like the ugly stepsister. The sidewalk was filled with shoppers as my mother and I hurried to the department store. I raised my neck for a look at the holiday window display, but at the age of six I was too small to see around the grown-ups with their winter coats and packages. When at last we reached the store, I stood with my eyes widened. “Look, Mother,” I shouted, pressing my hands against the glass, “Cinderella.” Before my eyes was the most beautiful doll I had ever seen! She wore a fairy princess suit made of shining red silk. I knew if I lifted her skirt I would find her crystal(水晶) shoes. The tiny tiara (冠状头饰) fastened to her silky golden hair shone.
“If only she were mine,” I dreamed. “We’d have tea parties, share secrets and dance with a handsome prince.” But to my disappointment, my mother guided me away from the window, explaining that she and my father could not afford such an expensive doll. “But there will be a very special gift under the tree for you on Christmas morning, Madge,” she said. “I promise.” Later that week I leaned against Mother’s sewing machine, watching the needle flash up and down. “Bet you don’t know what this is!” she joked, holding up the cloth for me to see. “My Christmas doll!” I yelled. It was still in the early stages but I could make out the head, neck and body. “So much to my surprise!” Mother laughed as I danced around the room, already pretending Cinderella and I were at the ball. It wouldn’t be long now.
My excitement grew with each passing day. Mother continued to work on the doll, and whenever I walked into the room she would hide it under a pillow. I could tell by her smile she was pleased with her progress. On Christmas morning I jumped out of bed, ran down the hall and quickly arrived at the living room where the Christmas tree was placed.
注意：1.续写的词数应为150左右；
2.请按下列格式作答。
There, underneath the tree, was a beautifully packed gift box.

But I could see Mother watching me, waiting for my response.

【原文】M: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the city zoo’s newest show, World of Darkness. Here is a new world of night animals to you. Not too many years ago, zoo visitors were unable to watch the behavior of night animals because these animals were active during the night and generally slept during the day when the zoo was open to visitors. But in the 1960s, zookeepers at the Bronx Zoo in New York city found a way to settle this problem and develop the system that we now use in our show. The animals living places are lit with white light at night. Then the animals think the white light is daylight, so of course they go to sleep. During the day, their living places are lit with red light, which makes the animals think it is at night so that they will be active. On the other hand, the red light enables visitors to watch these animals going about the normal activities at night. So just enjoy your visit to the World of Darkness and enjoy watching these amazing animals of the night. And remember, next month is the opening of World Down Under, a new show of Australian animals. Are you looking forward to learning about Australian animals in person Well, you are lucky, just please come and join us for that event.
21．B 22．A 23．D
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了过去几年的几部最佳电影。
21．细节理解题。根据The Kid部分中“Like many of Chaplin’s projects, the production of the film was full of humor.(像卓别林的许多作品一样，这部电影的制作充满了幽默)”可知，电影《寻子遇仙记》可能是喜剧。故选B项。
22．细节理解题。根据Bicycle Thieves部分中“What is even more impressive is that the director used no studio sets—all of the settings are reallife locations in Rome.(更令人印象深刻的是，导演没有使用工作室布景——所有的场景都是罗马的现实生活中的地点)”可知，《偷自行车的人》这部电影最让观众印象深刻的是它的拍摄地点。故选A项。
23．细节理解题。根据The Night of the Shooting Stars部分中“The movie, set in Tuscany, follows a group of citizens who leave their village just before their houses are set to be blown up by the Nazis (纳粹).(这部电影以托斯卡纳为背景，讲述了一群村民在房子即将被纳粹炸毁之前离开村庄的故事)”和Let There Be Light部分中“It is a deeply moving documentary that describes, specifically, the effects of wartime trauma (创伤) on soldiers(这是一部感人至深的纪录片，具体描述了战时创伤对士兵的影响)”可知，《圣洛伦佐之夜》和《上帝说要有光》两部电影的共同之处是它们都涉及了战争的影响。故选D项。
24．C 25．C 26．B 27．D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了出身贫寒的Carl Allamby在年近50岁的时候克服重重困难，实现了自己儿时的医生梦。
24．推理判断题。根据第五段“In 2015, Allamby cut ties with his past, and then he started at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, Carl Allamby became Carl Allamby, MD. He took a job in emergency medicine at Cleveland Clinic Akron General.(在2015年，Allamby与他的过去断绝了联系，然后他开始在东北俄亥俄医科大学工作。2019年，Carl Allamby成为Carl Allamby医学博士。他在克利夫兰诊所阿克伦总医院找到了一份急诊医学工作)”可推知，学生物学对Allamby来说是“发生过的最好的事情”是因为这给他的生活带来了积极的转变。故选C项。
25．推理判断题。根据第三段“Born in East Cleveland, Ohio, Allamby was raised by his stay-at-home mother and a father who sold home goods door-to-door. His school didn’t offer the advanced science classes that might have led him on a premed path. Even if it had, doing well in school could prove dangerous. “You could get into a lot of trouble just for being the class nerd,” Allamby said.

56．to learn 57．that 58．practical 59．effectively 60．goals 61．is 62．ourselves 63．which 64．turns 65．a
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要阐述了学习能力并非天生，而是可以通过实践和使用策略来培养的观点。
56．考查非谓语动词。句意：许多人错误地认为学习的能力是智力的问题。空处填非谓语动词，此处是the ability to do sth.的结构，意为“做某事的能力”，其中to do是不定式作后置定语修饰ability。故填to learn。
57．考查宾语从句。句意：越来越多的研究清楚地表明，学习者是造就出来的，而不是天生的。此句中it是形式宾语，设空处所在的从句为真正的宾语，即宾语从句，从句中不缺成分，故用that构成“make it clear that+从句”的结构。故填that。
58．考查形容词。句意：通过实际地运用计划和策略，我们都能更快、更有效地发展我们的学习技能。此处需要形容词作定语修饰名词use，practice的形容词形式是practical，意为“实际的、实用的”。故填practical。
59．考查副词。句意：通过实际地运用计划和策略，我们都能更快、更有效地发展我们的学习技能。此处需要副词作状语修饰动词develop，effective的副词形式是effectively，意为“有效地、实际上”。故填effectively。
60．考查名词复数。句意：为了发展一个专业领域，我们首先必须设定关于我们想要学习的可实现的目标。空处缺中心词，此处表示泛指且前面没有限定词，goal是可数名词，其复数形式是复数形式goals。故填goals。
61．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：同样重要的是心理学家所定义的元认知，即“思考自己的思考”。此处是倒装句，表语前置需要将系动词提到主语前面，主语是metacognition，为不可数名词，谓语动词应使用单数形式，且句子描述的是一般事实，因此用一般现在时is。故填is。
62．考查人称代词。句意：广义上说，它是问自己这样的问题：我真的理解这个想法吗？我能向朋友解释清楚吗？此处需要代词作ask的宾语；再结合句意可知，表示“问我们自己”，因此应使用we的反身代词ourselves。故填ourselves。
63．考查定语从句。句意：在我们的学习中，我们还从反思中受益，这需要一刻的宁静。空处填关系词引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是reflection反思，指物，且在从句中作主语，因此应使用关系代词which。故填which。
64．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：结果证明，我们在小睡或深度睡眠时会整理我们的知识。It后缺少谓语动词，根据语境可知，句子描述的是一般事实，因此用一般现在时，且turn应使用第三人称单数形式turns，构成“It turns out that...”的结构，意为“结果证明是……”，其中it是形式主语，that引导的是真正的主语从句。故填turns。
65．考查冠词。句意：对于个人和希望帮助员工发挥最佳状态的公司来说，这个好消息是：学习是一种习得的行为。空处填限定词；又结合语境可知，此处表示“一种习得的行为”，表示泛指，且learned是以辅音音素开头的单词，因此应使用不定冠词a。故填a。
66．Protect Our Planet!
Our planet is currently facing serious environmental problems. Due to pollution, deforestation, and excessive use of plastic, our ecosystems are being damaged. As a result, it is not the beautiful planet it used to be!
As members of our club, we can take action to help solve these problems. Firstly, we can launch awareness campaigns through posters, social media, or class meetings to educate others about the crisis. Furthermore, we can organize a campus clean up day every month to collect trash and put garbage classification into action.
Remember, every small effort matters! Together, we can make our school and community greener and protect our only home—Earth.

67． There, underneath the tree, was a beautifully packed gift box. Inside it was the “doll” I expected. With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply and then opened it expectantly. However, much to my disappointment, it was nothing like the one that we saw at the store. She wore a plain skirt with a simple face. Her black woolen hair was pulled back in a pony tail, with no shiny tiara at all, not to mention the crystal shoes. She was nothing like Cinderella; she looked more like the ugly stepsister.
But I could see Mother watching me, waiting for my response. I knew Mum would be sad if she knew what I really felt. Hiding my disappointment, I shouted with delight, “She’s hard to resist! Thanks, Mum!” A relieved smiled appeared on my mother’s face. From time to time, I would take the “ugly stepsister” out and admire it. It is a reminder of my mother’s love. Her love would make me special and happy even if things did not always tick all the right boxes.
