For venues in the continental United States, a printed and packed exhibition will be shipped to your location, ready to hang.

In 2006, as a 10-year-old living in one of Delhi’s busiest markets, I would often run downstairs to buy milk, eggs or vegetables for my mother. The shopkeepers knew me by face and often guessed my order before I even spoke. These small market runs taught me more than I realised at the time — quick mental maths, conversations with strangers, and backup plans when a shop was shut. So much unintentional learning.
Over time, these routines became daily comfort. Whether it was me or my mother, we enjoyed the smiles, brief chats, and snacks along the way — small moments that quietly held our lives together.
Now, things are different. With Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart, groceries arrive in 10 minutes. While I still enjoy shopping in the market after work, my mother begins her day by comparing prices on apps and ordering everything with a few taps (点击). The grocery trips that once lifted her mood, improved her health, and helped her stay connected with the neighbourhood have disappeared. The joy of being known, of interacting, is dying.
And it’s not just her. Many of us now rely more on apps and less on people. Our growing reliance on instant delivery is reducing those everyday moments of interaction. There’s the financial cost too. When you’re too tired or too busy to plan your groceries, you end up ordering in pieces — adding things you don’t need just to hit the free-delivery minimum.
Of course, these apps are a gift on tough days when we’re sick or short on time. But next time you feel like opening a grocery app, try walking to your local shop instead. You might come back with more than just groceries — a smile, a quick chat, and a sense of connection. Sometimes, the cost of convenience isn’t what you pay. It’s what you miss.
4. What does the author think of early market runs
A. Adventurous. B. Valuable. C. Tiring. D. Complex.
5. How did the author’s mother change her shopping habit later
A. She turned to online shopping. B. She visited groceries with neighbours.
C. She cared about discounts in stores. D. She ordered whatever lifted her mood.
6. What concerns the author about instant delivery
A It takes away small social moments. B. It involves paying extra service fees.
C. It results in poor physical condition. D. It makes people addicted to shopping.
7. What is implied in the last paragraph
A. A shared gift doubles its joy. B. Convenience comes at a cost.
C. A smile is free but worth a lot. D. Rush breaks human connection.
C
Soaring above a desert expanse in an aircraft, two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes. After an hour’s flight, one of the scientists jotted in his book, “Look here for probable metal”. Meanwhile, aboard another plane cruising over a mountainous terrain, scientists sent a message to other counterparts on the ground, “Gold possible.” Walking across hilly ground, four scientists documented their findings,” This ground should be searched for metals. “From an airplane hovering over a hilly wasteland, a scientist sent back by radio one word,” Uranium.”
None of the scientists possessed X-ray eyes: they had no supernatural powers for looking down below the earth’s surface. They were merely employing one of the most cutting- edge methodologies for locating minerals in the ground-using trees and plants as indicative markers that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants take root and flourish. This approach to mineral exploration is predicated upon the principle that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface.
At Watson Bar Creek, a brook six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. Each bag and box was carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.
Analysis of the roots, branches, and seeds disclosed an absence of silver. But small amounts of gold were detected in the roots, with lower gold concentrations present in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.
Had the trees not provided indications of gold in the ground, the scientists would not have allocated funds for digging into the depths. They did excavate and uncovered additional gold reserves below the surface. Further digging revealed substantial quantities of the precious metal.
8. Why could scientists tell possible mineral existence from plants
A. Scientists are trained to see through the earth’s surface and detect minerals.
B. Some minerals deep in the earth can influence the type of surface vegetation.
C. The roots can absorb and transport minerals to branches and seeds in large quantities.
D. Plants growing in mineral- rich areas have unique shapes easy to identify from the air.
9. The study of the plants’ roots, branches, and seeds suggests that ________.
A branches tend to hold more gold than roots
B. roots contain less gold than seeds near the trunk
C. gold content in branches far from the trunk is higher than in seeds
D. seeds closer to the trunk likely have more gold than those at branch ends
10. How does the writer support trees and plants indicate minerals
A. By presenting a case study. B. By listing different types of minerals.
C. By making a comparison. D. By explaining the chemical mechanism.
11. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Scientists Study Tree Components for Gold.
B. Trees and Plants: Clues to Underground Minerals.
C. New Ways of searching for Underground Minerals.
D. The Process of Gold Exploration in Trees and Plants.
D
Does it often feel as if the world is getting stupider Data released on December 10th by the OECD, a club of mostly rich countries, suggest this may not be all in your head. Roughly every ten years the organization asks adults in dozens of places to sit tests in numeracy and literacy.
The questions it poses are not abstract puzzles, spelling tests or mental calculations. They aim to mimic problems people aged 16-65 face in daily life, whether they are working in a factory or an office, or simply trying to make sense of the news.
The latest tests were carried out in 31 rich countries, and their findings are frightening. They suggest that a fifth of adults do no better in maths and reading than what might be expected of a primary-school child. In maths, average scores have risen in a few places over the past ten years, but fallen in almost as many. In literacy, a lot more countries have seen scores decline than advance, despite the fact that adults hold more and higher educational qualifications than ever before.
Population change offers some explanation. New immigrants often struggle with a new language. The native-born have ageing brains. Some guess that Netflix, video games and social media are sapping mental sharpness. It is just as likely that education and training systems have fallen through.
These disappointing results deserve more attention than they are likely to get. Basic numeracy and literacy are oddly unfashionable causes. Students of education prefer to debate how to teach fashionable “soft skills”. Yet a century of technological disruption has not cut demand for people who are good with numbers, or who have a way with words. Adults who do badly in the OECD’s tests earn vastly less than those who excel in them. They are also in poorer health, less satisfied with their life, less trusting of others and more likely to feel that they have no voice in politics.
In many countries the gap in ability between the highest-and lowest-skilled grown-ups is widening (not because know-it-all are doing better, but because the least able are doing worse) . In large measure, such trends lead nowhere good.
12. What can we know about the latest OECD’s tests
A. They imitate the real-life difficulties to assess teenagers’ skills.
B. Adults with more educational qualifications perform better in the tests.
C. The scores in both maths and literacy have dropped significantly across all countries.
D. One in five adults fail to exceed grade-schoolers in maths and reading.
13. What does the underlined word “sapping” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. restoring B. weakening C. enhancing D. maintaining
14. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. Technological development prioritizes “soft skills” over mathematical and verbal skills.
B. Individuals doing poorly in the tests can still experience significant life contentment.
C. Basic numeracy and literacy should be given more emphasis despite being less trendy.
D. The intelligent are thriving, whereas the most disadvantaged are struggling more.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. OECD’s Tests: Revealing the secrets of adult learning
B. The Decline of Adults’ Basic Skills: A Global Concern
C. Technological Disruption and Adult Skills
D. New Immigrants and Adult Literacy

52. 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。
Judy had always dreamed of becoming a supermodel, just like her idol Liu Wen, the world-famous Chinese supermodel. From practicing her walk for hours in front of a mirror to imitating
Liu Wen’s poses in fashion magazines, Judy had devoted herself wholeheartedly to chasing her dream. What she admired most about Liu Wen was her professionalism—— the way she carried herself on and off the runway (走秀台), showing the world that modeling was more than just beauty; it was an art.
However, her father, Mr. Bennett, had a deep prejudice against the modeling industry.“Modeling isn’t a real career,” he would often say. “It’s unstable, unhealthy, and full of shallow values.” For him, a good life meant attending university, finding a stable job, and eventually settling down with a family. He also feared Judy would damage her health to maintain a certain figure or face judgment in what he believed to be a chaotic and competitive industry.
Judy tried to explain her passion, but their conversations always ended in frustration.“I don’t want a predictable life like everyone else,” she once said, “I want to live a life as bright as fireworks.” She even pointed out how Liu Wen’s professionalism had enhanced the image of models worldwide, proving that it was a career that required skill, discipline, and dedication. Yet her words didn’t change her father’s mind. Over time, their arguments turned into silence, leaving a growing distance between them.
One evening, as Mr. Bennett sat in front of the TV, he unknowingly stumbled upon a live broadcast of Paris Fashion Week. What happened next completely changed his perspective.
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。
On the screen, Liu Wen walked confidently down the runway.

The next day, Mr. Bennett knocked on Judy’s door with regret and warmth.

51. Salon: Smart Living and Interpersonal Communication
Last Friday witnessed a fascinating salon held by our school in the Lecture Hall, whose theme was “Smart Living and Interpersonal Communication”.
The event started with a lecture by a guest speaker on how technology impacts our social lives, from communication apps to virtual reality devices. We then discussed the pros and cons of social media, the significance of face-to-face interactions, and how technology can help us connect better. A highlight was the hands-on session where we experienced what it’s like to interact in a fully digital world.
In conclusion, the salon was a resounding success, leaving us with a deeper appreciation for the role of technology in our lives. Let’s continue this dialogue and apply what we’ve learned to enrich our daily interactions.
52.
On the screen, Liu Wen walked confidently down the runway. Her graceful movements, focused expression, and commanding presence lit up the stage. Mr. Bennett couldn’t take his eyes off her. For the first time, he saw the effort and professionalism behind the glamorous surface of modeling. It wasn’t just about looking beautiful, but about dedication, discipline, and passion. Watching Liu Wen interact with her team backstage, he noticed her calm authority and mutual respect with others. Mr. Bennett’s heart softened. He realized he had been unfair, letting stereotypes cloud his judgment about Judy’s dream.
The next day, Mr. Bennett knocked on Judy’ s door with regret and warmth. When she opened it, he hesitated briefly before apologizing for being too harsh. Mr. Bennett admitted he had underestimated the dedication behind modeling and described the scene of Liu Wen’s performance he had watched the night before, his voice soft with admiration. Stunned by his words, which even carried a promise to support her dream, Judy hugged him tightly, tears brimming as she felt his deep understanding. From that day, Mr. Bennett became his daughter’s biggest supporter, standing by her through every challenge.
