Favorite Books for Young Readers The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses by Paul Goble
(For ages 5 to 8)
Everywhere you look in The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses, there’s a tiny, precise and
lovely detail—a plant, a bird, a lizard, a shell and of course the great horses. This story of a Plains Indian girl who runs away with a band of wild horses, and eventually becomes one of them, won

the Caldecott in 1978. The recognition was well-deserved for its insightful portrayal (描写) of the bond between the human spirit and the wilderness.
Hello Lighthouse by Sophie Blackall
(For ages 4 to 8)
Waves roll by, seasons come and go, keepers tend to their duties, and through it all, the
lighthouse stands tall, sending its light out into the darkness, signaling hello to all the ships at sea. The Caldecott winner Sophie Blackall does a significant job showing the timeless nature of
lighthouse life—and the change that’s coming.
The Undefeated by Kwame Alexander and Kadir Nelson
(For ages 6 to 9)
One of the most—if not the most—beautiful books on this list. Kadir Nelson’s fancy,
photorealistic paintings pair with Kwame Alexander’s powerful words for a tribute (致敬) to
decades of Black brilliance, pain and perseverance. “This is one of those texts that really spoke to me; it was beautifully written and I felt it was a really great pairing of words and pictures of an
author and an artist,” Nelson said.
Harlem by Walter and Christopher
(For ages 9 and up)
This poem by Walter Dean Myers—a revered elder of children’s literature—celebrates Harlem, where he grew up, full of“ colors loud enough to be heard” and songs first heard in the villages of“Ghana/Mali/Senegal”. His son Christopher’s vivid illustrations, part paint and part collage (拼贴画), don’t talk down to kids, instead pulling them into a lively city.
21 .What is the focus of the book The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses

Scientists have discovered a new technique by which light can be bent around corners, inspired by the way clouds scatter (散射) sunlight. This type of light-bending could lead to improvements in many fields such as medical imaging and electronics cooling.
Daniele Faccio at the University of Glasgow, UK, and his workmates say they are shocked that this type of light scattering wasn’t noticed before. It works on the same basis as clouds, snow and other white materials that absorb light: once photons (光子) hit the surface of such a material, they are scattered in all directions.
“The light goes around and tries to get in,” says Faccio. “And eventually what happens is that it just gets reflected back because it can’t get in. This is this scattering.”
To copy this process, the team 3D printed objects from a special white material while
leaving thin tunnels (通路) within. When light is shone at the material, it travels into these tunnels and is scattered —just as light is on snow or clouds. However, instead of scattering randomly in every direction, the photons are directed to return to the tunnels by the material. The team put this to use, creating a range of objects that control light in an organised way. The researchers say their material improves light transmission much better than those without the same tunnels, and also
allows it to be directed around curves.
This method of light-bending could make use of existing tunnels of some special materials to provide new ways to carry out medical imaging. Faccio says the exact same way also works to direct heat and neutrons, and could therefore also find use in a range of engineering applications such as cooling systems.
24 .What inspired the discovery of the technique
A .How light travels. B .How clouds scatter sunlight.
C .The relevant studies. D .The features of white materials.
25 .According to paragraph 4, what is the key to controlling the light scattering

C .The tunnels inside the material. D .The process of 3D printing.
26 .What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A .Future study in light-bending.
B .Potential problems of medical imaging.
C .Possible applications of this new technique.
D .Experts’ opinions on the use of special materials.
27 .What is the purpose of the text
A .To introduce a creative technique.
B .To sing high praise for innovative spirits.
C .To explain the principle of light scattering.
D .To highlight the advantages of technology.

A team of researchers in China has found a way to bring dead lithium-ion (锂) batteries back to life, potentially reducing both the amount of waste that’s quickly piling up from spent electric vehicle (EV) batteries and the need to produce as many new ones.
The amount of spent lithium-ion batteries that need to deal with is expected to rise sharply from an estimate of 900,000 metric tons this year to 20.5 million metric tons by 2040, according to a report released by the United Nations Development Program last September. So Gao, a chemist at Fudan University in Shanghai and his colleagues wanted to find a molecule (分子) that could
refill a dead cell by adding it with lithium ions.
The researchers used an artificial intelligence model trained on the rules of chemistry. They fed it a database of electrochemical reactions and had it look for molecules that would meet their requirements, such as dissolving well in an electrolyte (电解质) solution and being relatively
cheap to produce. The model recommended three candidates, and the team identified one of them, a salt called lithium trifluoromethanesulfinate (LiSO2CF3), as ideal.
Gao and his colleagues found that the chemical mixture could significantly extend the
lifetime of a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cell. An LFP battery that powers an EV can
typically be charged and then discharged about 2,000 times before it is considered “dead” (when
试卷第 6 页,共 14 页
its capacity is below the 80 percent mark). By adding the electrolyte whenever the battery neared that threshold, the team was able to restore most of the cell’s capacity each time — and it carried on working almost as well as a new battery. By the end of the experiment, the cell regained 96
percent capacity after nearly 12,000 charge-discharge cycles.
A follow-up experiment showed the method also worked on NMC (nickel, manganese and cobalt) lithium-ion batteries, Gao says.
Fudan University is currently working with China-based battery-material maker to
commercialize the method. Gao imagines a widespread system of“battery-boosting stations” where EV owners will be able to bring dead power sources to be fixed.
28 .What is the purpose of the second paragraph
A .To criticize poor recycling efforts.
B .To explain battery recycling chemistry.
C .To show battery waste problem and research aim.
D .To lead in a topic of a new battery production method.
29 .How did the researchers find the right chemical for batteries
A .Through using computer analysis.
B .Through trying every possible salt.
C .By copying old research methods.
D .By doing regular scientific experiments.
30 .What does the underlined word “threshold” in paragraph 4 mean
A .Peak. B .Wavelength. C .Tune. D .Limit.
31 .What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A .The technology is already used in all EVs.
B .Market application requires business partnerships.
C .Fudan University will work alone on this project.
D .The system only works for experimental batteries.

The legendary dire wolf—a well-known creature that disappeared around 13,000 years ago and gained fame through HBO’s TV series Game of Thrones—has made an extraordinary return.
试卷第 7 页,共 14 页
This is the result of a cutting-edge genetic project by the company Colossal Biosciences, marking the first-ever successful “de-extinction” of a species.
Recently, the company revealed the birth of three healthy dire wolf babies. Their arrival
was made possible by combining DNA from ancient dire wolf fossils with the genes of their
closest living relative, the grey wolf. To achieve this, scientists used a cloning technique called
somatic cell nuclear transfer. They took DNA from a 13,000-year-old tooth and a 72,000-year-old bone, inserted the cell nuclei (体细胞核) into donor egg cells to create embryos (胚胎), and then implanted these embryos into a domestic dog mother, who gave birth in January. Ben Lamm, CEO of Colossal, expressed his excitement, saying, “any sufficiently advanced technology is similar to magic” .
The dire wolf was once a fierce top predator across North America in Ice Age. They preyed on large mammals like horses, bison and potentially mammoths, but after these species went
extinct, the dire wolf’s rule also came to an end. According to paleontologist (古生物学家) Julie Meachen, with the loss of their prey, the dire wolf was gradually replaced by the grey wolf.
Dire wolves were larger and stronger than their modern grey relatives, with jaws and
shoulders built for powerful hunts. Their revival has attracted both science enthusiasts and pop culture fans alike.
Dr. Christopher Mason, a scientific adviser for Colossal, described the de-extinction of the dire wolf as a transformative leap in genetic engineering. “This is an extraordinary technological leap for both science and conservation,” he stated. “It’s a wonderful example of the power of
biotechnology to protect species, both existing and extinct.”
32 .How were the dire wolf babies created
A .By combining genes of a grey wolf and a domestic dog.
B .By using a method called somatic cell nuclear transfer.
C .By changing the behavior of modern wolves.
D .By natural reproduction in a lab setting.
33 .What caused the dire wolf’s extinction around 13,000 years ago
A .Lack of food. B .Climate change.
C .Human hunting. D .Wolf competition.
34 .What’s Dr. Christopher Mason’s view on de-extinction
试卷第 8 页,共 14 页
A .It is a biological experiment with little practical value.
B .It can only be used on species that recently went extinct.
C .It shows biotechnology’s potential to protect and revive species.
D .It has attracted both science enthusiasts and pop culture fans alike.
35 .Which of the following would be the best title for the article
A .A TV Series Inspires New Wolf Species Research
B .Scientists Clone Grey Wolves for Species Conservation
C .Dire Wolves Return: Breakthrough in De-Extinction Technology
D .The Predator in Ice Age: the Extraordinary Story of the Dire Wolf

In today’s rapidly advancing technological landscape, the emergence of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) has caused widespread debate and concern. 36 However, a closer look reveals a more delicate perspective. Just as previous technological advancements have coexisted with human capabilities, AI is not a threat to fundamental skills but rather a transformative tool.
37 Just as calculators did not end math skills and typing did not eliminate (消除)
handwriting, AI does not signal the end of reading and writing or of education in general.
Elementary school teacher Shannon Morris says AI tools like ChatGPT answer questions, and provide personalized content for students based on their interests. 38 Moreover, AI simplifies teachers’ tasks like grading and creating vocabulary lists.
Similarly, AI enhances efficiency for professionals. 39 AI can handle tasks like
scheduling meetings, sorting emails, prioritizing daily tasks, and managing social media content. This frees up time for more meaningful and rewarding work. The technology can also help with
brainstorming, understanding difficult concepts, finding errors in code, and learning languages via conversation, making complex tasks more manageable.
As Carri Spector of the Stanford Graduate School of Education puts it, “I think AI
knowledge is similar to driver’s education: We’ve got a powerful tool that can be a great benefit,
试卷第 9 页,共 14 页
but it can also be dangerous. We want students to learn how to use it responsibly.” In reality, understanding and practicing the responsible application of AI isn’t merely an option; it’s an essential requirement. 40
A .They also help with studying and research.
B .When it comes to students, AI aids learning.
C .AI is a powerful tool only when used responsibly.
D .AI is not the final target, but a brand-new starting point.
E .Instead of replacing human employees, it takes over time-consuming tasks.
F .There’s a risk of something very dangerous happening in the next five years.
G .Many fear AI will make traditional skills old-fashioned and affect many parts of life.

When I was a teenager, my imagination about the future was filled with flying cars and robot assistants. However, my grandfather always said, “The future isn’t just about technology; it’s about how we it to improve our lives. ” At that time, I didn’t fully understand his words.
Years later, while working in a tech company, I experienced a(n) moment. Our
team developed an AI system that could predict natural disasters with 90% accuracy. The system used satellite data and machine learning to patterns in weather changes. Initially,
everyone was excited. But soon, debates arose: Should this technology be to the public freely, or should it be sold for profit
One day, I met a farmer in a remote village. He told me his story: “Last year, a flood
destroyed my crops. If I had known it was coming, I could have saved my family’s .” His words struck me. I realized that technology should serve humanity, not just wealth. We decided to provide the system to developing countries .

When Cynthia was a young girl, a screening of Star Wars changed her life. The adorable R2-D2 in the movie inspired her dream of creating a robot friend.
College was a challenging start. She struggled with difficult engineering courses and failed a robotics exam. Instead of giving up, she spent countless nights in the library, devoted to her
studies. Eventually, she graduated with an engineering degree.
After graduation, she joined a team under a famous robotics professor to develop a
planet-exploring robot. They faced numerous difficulties, especially disagreements within the team on the design. Cynthia firmly insisted on her ideas and finally, they overcame the barriers. However, when the robot was completed, Cynthia realized it lacked the function of
companionship she had pictured.
Determined to create a truly friendly robot, Cynthia focused on a project for hospitalized
children. She visited local hospitals, had in-depth discussions with medical staff and consulted
several child psychologists. These experts shared their insights on children’s emotional needs
during hospitalization, such as the importance of consistent companionship and the role of positive distractions (分心的事物). Equipped with them, Cynthia began the creation of Huggable, a
teddy-bear-shaped robot.
During its development, Cynthia faced financial shortages. She spent months presenting her project to various investors, suffering countless rejections. But her passion and determination paid off when a local tech-enthusiast learned about her vision and provided the necessary funds. A
partner’s departure also left her short-handed, but she reached out to former classmates and
brought in a new, devoted team member. Now, Huggable is in a local children’s hospital, bringing comfort to young patients.
However, as Huggable’s influence grew, so did controversy (争议). Some people worried that relying too much on a robot for comfort might affect children s normal emotional and social

development. They argued that children needed real-human interaction to learn communication skills. Articles and comments against Huggable started appearing on the Internet. Soon, the
hospital received calls from concerned parents, demanding an explanation.
