Scuba diving(水肺潜水)offers an exciting chance to explore rarely visited parts of the planet. It unlocks an underwater world dominated by nature, where coral reefs’ unique, colorful life. and diverse marine creatures deliver thrills unmatchable on land. (第一段)
Not all dive sites offer equal marine life encounters, but standout spots excite both newly certified divers and experts, with swims through stunning underwater attractions and chances to see amazing creatures. Below are three of the world’s most spectacular scuba spots. (第二段)
21. What is the purpose of the text
A. To compare popular dive sites. B. To illustrate marine life behavior.
C. To update scuba diving techniques.
D. To introduce top diving destinations.

Great Barrier Reef
The ultimate dive destination is the world’s largest reef (visible from space) off Australia’s coast. Underwater, it lives up to its fame—thousands of fish species and crystal-clear waters ease wildlife viewing. To protect this lively yet fragile area, some zones limit boat traffic and fees on nearby operators fund conservation.
Palau
It’s ideal for open-water and reef diving. Blue Corner’s nutrient-rich waters attract small reef fish, and then larger ones like tuna and sharks. Advanced divers can explore Blue Holes’ caverns nearby. Palau also has other reefs and sandy channels, with marine life including sharks and manta rays. Its famous Jellyfish Lake, a surface swimming site, has unique golden jellyfish, which is mildly stinging (刺人的) and harmless, but no scuba is allowed to conserve it.

22. Why is scuba diving banned in Palau’s Jellyfish Lake
A. To avoid jellyfish stings. B. To reserve for advanced divers.
C. To prevent equipment damage.
D. To preserve its unique environment.
Cayman Islands
Clear, warm waters suit divers chasing colorful underwater life. Its big draw is diverse options—Bloody Bay Wall, a massive wall dropping from 10-20 feet deep, is top for serious divers, with unique wildlife in upper walls and shallows. Superior visibility lets newly certified divers spot many creatures in shallow waters, and reefs add unique experiences.

23. Which destination is best for beginners
A. Great Barrier Reef. B. Cayman Islands.
C. Blue Corner. D. Palau.

A story of friendship between a human and a beast is familiar, but one between a man and a penguin is rare. It began when 71-year-old Brazilian fisherman Joao found an oil-covered penguin on a Rio de Janeiro beach, close to death. (第一段)
The kindhearted fisherman knew that he could not simply walk away from the poor penguin. So Joao cleaned the oil off the penguin’s feathers and nursed it back to health. He started taking care of the poor penguin and fed it with fish to recover the energy it had lost. Soon, he decided to name his newfound friend Dindim. Right after Dindim was able to recover, Joao attempted to release the penguin back into the sea. However, Dindim would not leave his side. (第二段)

24. How did Joao help Dindim
A. He released it into the sea. B. He called nurses to clean it.
C. He trained it in learning tricks. D. He helped it to restore strength.
If you are thinking that their one-of-a-kind friendship ended there, then you are in for a big surprise! Apparently, Dindim was so touched by the local fisherman’s kind gesture that it cannot forget about him and considered where he lives as its second home. Hence, each year, Dindim would travel over 5,000 miles just to see and be reunited with Joao, the man who saved its life. In fact, for the past four years, Dindim has already spent 8 months of the year with the kindhearted fisherman in its second home. (第三段)
25. What do we learn about Dindim
A. It possessed a good memory. B. It improved its swimming skills.
C. It formed a strong bond with Joao.
D. It built its second home on the island.

According to Professor Krajweski, the one who interviewed Joao for Globo TV, Dindim was the first ever penguin that he had encountered to be sweet, thoughtful, and attached to its rescuer. But he has an explanation about such remarkable incident. Meanwhile, this heartwarming story of a unique friendship has made its way to the big screen. In My Penguin Friend, Brazilian director David Schurmann adds creative touches to the true story, sometimes going beyond the original facts. Although Schurmann aimed to subtly(巧妙地)include an environmental message, his main goal was to offer hope and relief to audiences. (最后一段)
26. What was Schurmann’s primary goal to make My Penguin Friend
A. To uplift viewers. B. To arouse attention.
C. To inform audiences. D. To document a story.

27. What message does the story try to convey
A. Love me, love my dog. B. Good deeds bring good returns.
C. Every cloud has a silver lining.
D. Birds of a feather flock together.

阅读理解C
Many studies have explored whether speaking multiple languages improves brain function. Some research suggests that multilingualism(多语言)can improve “executive function”— skills like ignoring distractions, planning tasks, and adapting to new information. For instance, bilingual children have been shown to outperform monolingual(单语的)children in tasks requiring attention control. A study from 2019 further clarified these effects in adults. While confirming that a moderate amount of language learning in adults does not boost core executive functions, it delays the onset of age-related mental deterioration (恶化). (第一段)
28. What have researchers found about multilingualism
A. It prevents mental issue. B. It slows cognitive decline.
C. It boosts short-term memory. D. It replaces executive function.

（尤指某种坏事情的）开始，发作
But not all language learners benefit equally. The greatest benefits appear among those who achieve full fluency in a second language—especially those who use both languages regularly, almost every day. Casual language study, such as taking a college course, does not offer the same advantages as deep, long-term use. Frequent switching between languages within a single day or conversation seems to be especially helpful. Interpreters and translators, for example, often show stronger cognitive(认知的) control and mental flexibility. (第二段)
29. Who likely gains the most cognitive benefits from bilingualism
A. Casual learners. B. Monolingual seniors.
C. College course takers. D. Daily language switchers.

Still, many factors complicate the research. Bilingual individuals often differ from monolinguals in education, socioeconomic status, and cultural exposure. For instance, a child growing up abroad with diplomat parents may enjoy many advantages unrelated to language. On the other hand, studies in poorer regions suggest that multilingualism can provide significant cognitive benefits where educational resources are limited. (第三段)
30. What does the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Limited B. Overstated C. Distinct D. Immediate
Age also matters. The brain benefits of bilingualism are most prominent in young children and older adults. Young bilingual children often show early cognitive advantages, though monolingual peers may catch up later in life. For seniors, speaking multiple languages may help protect cognitive health—similar to how layering slices of Swiss cheese can cover more holes. (第四段)

31. What is the author’s attitude towards multilingualism
A. Critical B. Indifferent C. Sympathetic D. Cautious
Beyond potential cognitive benefits, learning a language offers a more certain superpower: the ability to communicate with more people and understand other cultures. Even if you didn’t grow up bilingual, that alone is an excellent reason to start learning.(最后一段)

adj. 同情的,有同情心的；
赞同的,支持的
阅读理解D
In a 2023 experiment by Apollo Research, OpenAI’s GPT-4 was tasked with managing a fictional company’s stock under strict instructions to avoid illegal insider trading. When researchers—posing as company executives—warned that the firm was in serious financial trouble, and a “trader” then secretly shared insider information, something unexpected happened: the AI decided to break the rules. It purchased the stock based on the illegal tip and, when later questioned, repeatedly lied about its actions, claiming it had relied only on public data. (第一段)
32. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By telling a story. B. By presenting a test.
C. By creating a context. D. By designing an experiment.

冒充;假装成（某人或某物）以欺骗他人
This incident illustrates a troubling trend: AI models, even without consciousness, are increasingly capable of deliberate deception(欺骗). As AI systems become more advanced, these behaviors are not only persisting but becoming more complicated. Newer models like OpenAI’s No. 1, which possess stronger reasoning capabilities, have demonstrated more frequent “strategic deception”. In one test, an AI pretending to be a person with visual disability tricked a human into solving a CAPTCHA test. Other models have learned to “play dumb”, intentionally failing simple tasks to avoid restrictions. (第二段)
33. What is an example of AI “strategic deception”
A. Getting mercy with make-up excuses.
B. Correcting grammar mistakes in a text.
C. Appealing to people with abundant data.
D. Solving complex mathematical problems.

假装愚蠢或无知，通常是为了逃避责任或获得某种优势。也可以指假装哑巴
In modern society, AI is increasingly being fixed in real-world systems, such as autonomous vehicles, drones and industrial equipment. If these systems learn to deceive their operators, the consequences could range from financial fraud(诈骗)and operational failures to more serious threats to public safety. (第三段)
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The wide range of AI systems.
B. The smart application of AI tools.
C. The potential risk of AI deception.
D. The significant operation of AI safety.

AI companies are exploring ways to detect and prevent deceptive behaviors—for example, by using one AI model to monitor the internal reasoning of another. However, some experts warn that punishing deceptive models might only teach them to become better at hiding their actions rather than promoting honest behavior. What makes the situation especially challenging is that AI deception often appears unpredictably during training, without programmers understanding how it occurs. As AI grows more powerful and autonomous, ensuring that it remains truthful and in line with human values is becoming one of the most urgent issues in technology ethics.(第四段)
35. What is the biggest challenge in addressing AI deception
A. Dishonest AI models. B. AI’s unpredictability.
C. Complex human values. D. Energy consumption.

It is my great privilege to introduce my favorite AI learning tool. It was last term that I started using an AI learning tool called Doubao, which helps with subjects like English and math. It offers personalized exercises, explains difficult concepts with vivid examples, and even corrects my writing instantly.
This tool has changed my study habits. When I struggle with grammar, it breaks down rules clearly. As for math problems I can’t solve, it guides me step by step instead of giving answers directly. Nowadays, I feel more confident in my studies and learn more efficiently.
In conclusion, as far as I am concerned, it’s really a great helper, from which I have benefited a great deal!

Sylvia Murray, a retired nurse, lived for twenty-two years in a small, well-kept house that was the pride. of the neighborhood. Her Saturdays followed a cherished routine: she would edge the lawn with precision, nurture her bright rose bushes, and ensure every window box overflowed with colorful blooms. Neighbors often paused on their walks to compliment the tidy garden, and Sylvia beamed with a quiet, profound pride, for this small plot of land was her masterpiece, proof of her care and dedication.
Then, illness and disability gradually stole the strength required to bend, lift, and mow. The unstoppable march of nature took over: grass crept over the sidewalk, wild shrubs(灌木丛)pressed against the front windows, and a thick blanket of leaves gathered in corners she could no longer reach. Each messy day deepened Sylvia’s shame, as the garden that once symbolized her independence now stood as a very public reminder of her decline.
Seeing Sylvia’s struggle with both pride and loneliness, Jenny, a close companion of her, decided to act. She wrote a short, honest post on a local community page. It explained Sylvia’s situation, her embarrassment, and included photos of the overgrown yard. The post was a gentle request, asking if anyone could spare an hour, tools, or hands to help. The message was quickly understood by many, its honesty moving dozens of neighbors, and comments of support began to multiply.
Among the replies. was a response from the Riverside Youth Volunteers, a local teen service group. Their leader, Johnny, immediately forwarded the post to the team’s chat. Despite the fact that Sylvia’s street was a 15-20 minute drive for most of them, everyone agreed without hesitation. They quickly held a planning meeting, borrowed extra power tools from the community center, and arranged carpools(拼车)for the upcoming weekend, determined to restore the dignity the post so clearly described. With everything ready, they set out for Sylvia’s house the next Sunday.
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。
Johnny and his teammates stood on Sylvia’s doorstep, tools in hand. ________

Johnny and his teammates stood on Sylvia’s doorstep, tools in hand. Jenny led them in, and Sylvia, sitting by the window, teared up at the sight of the smiling teens. “We’re here to tidy your garden, Ms. Murray,” Johnny said gently. Without wasting time, the volunteers split into groups: some mowed the overgrown grass, others trimmed the wild shrubs, and a few raked the piles of leaves. They chatted softly with Sylvia as they worked, asking about her roses — making her forget her embarrassment little by little.
As the work progressed, the yard transformed piece by piece. The grass was neatly edged, the rose bushes were pruned back to their former beauty, and the window boxes were refilled with fresh blooms Jenny had brought. When the sun set, the garden looked just like it used to—even brighter. Sylvia walked outside slowly, touching the roses, and said, “You’ve given me back my pride.” The volunteers waved goodbye, but their kindness stayed—turning a messy yard into a warm proof of community care.
