For travelers who love food, attending an international food festival is a perfect way to experience different cultures. The table below lists four of the most famous festivals, each with its unique appeal. At these events, you can taste local specialties, watch cooking shows, and enjoy cultural performances.

I was just 26, newly married and pregnant (怀孕的), when I moved into the small house that shared a driveway with a neighbor. While unpacking, I heard a knock and found an elderly man standing at my back door, ruddy-faced and smiling. Handing me a basket of apples he’d picked, he said, “I am Walter. Welcome good neighbors,” and left.
Those apples were just what I needed for my persistent morning sickness, but I’d no idea at the time that this neighbour would be an antidote for life’s struggles. We lived peacefully side by side for 35 years, coming to know each other through our day-to-day ebb and flow — chatting, lending a helping hand, keeping a watchful eye, never overstepping. It was a special bond — he was always there, steady as rain.
Most of our life unfolded in Walter’s backyard. From dawn to dusk, he practiced sustainable living — drying fruit, making sausage, and tending his garden. Fishing was his year-round passion; my children loved helping clean his catch. Without kids of his own, he cherished their company, and his catches often led to joyful family gatherings under the mulberry (桑葚) tree. After my divorce (离婚), Walter quietly became my support: fixing my car, teaching me skills, and even chipping ice off my roof. When my mother was dying, he promised to look out for me — and through my hardest years, he was always a door-knock away.
With time going by, Walter burrowed deep into my heart. Like my mum, Walter could mend nearly anything with his hands — a torn book, a loose button, a quiet sorrow. His laughter was a force that seemed to push back against the darkness he had known. He was the closest thing I had to a father, though mine was alive at the time. We loved each other a lot.
He has been gone for two years now, but every time I eat an apple, I still think of him. So lucky am I to have had him so long, just across the way.
4. What contributed to the bond between the writer and Walter
A. Frequent gift exchanging. B. Constant small caring actions.
C. Living together as a family. D. Developing the same passion.
5. What does the underlined word “antidote” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Example B. Friend C. Cure. D. Advertiser
6. Which expression best reflects Walter’s role in the author’s life
A. A hard nut to crack. B. A drop in the ocean.
C. A storm in a teacup. D. A shoulder to cry on.
7. The writer would most probably agree that ________.
A. she is sincerely grateful to her neighbor B. neighbors had better keep a safe distance
C. love can only be seen through real action D. luck will strike those who suffer the most
C
Have you ever obeyed (服从) the suggestions of a digital (数码的) writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence Before the appearance of digital tools, you’d probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance.
Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don’t have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite (无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world.
The abundance (充足) of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency (紧急性) to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as “picking out words for the sake of (为了) their meaning,” a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle (压制). Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative (衍生的) communication. The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you’ll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English’s potential, writing that way is nearly impossible.
Our ability to express ourselves is important — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize (分类) our unique ways of thinking through language. I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.
As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective (集体的) identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.
8. According to the writer, dictionaries ________.
A. provide fail-safe convenience B. facilitate creative writing
C. represent literary authority D. inspire infinite ideas
9. What is an advantage of dictionaries compared with digital writing tools
A. They are rarer and therefore worth protecting. B. They offer richer and more accurate meanings.
C. They give more specific and settled answers. D. They empower writers with more possibilities.
10. The writer mentions “eaves trough” and “serviette” in paragraph 4 to stress that ________.
A. the ability to express ourselves is important B. Canadian English is in danger due to AI usage
C. dictionaries help shape our cultural identity D. AI chatbots ought to include more native terms
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Why Keep Your Dictionary B. How to Deal with Digital Writing
C. Should Writers Listen to AI D. What to Expect from Dictionaries
D
Once living in our backyards, many pets — for better and for worse — have now become spoiled “fur babies (毛孩子)”, enjoying constant attention, special treatment, and comforts once reserved for human babies. Many see this as harmless fun, but the increasing tendency to treat pets as “children” can have serious health and welfare (福利) consequences for the animals involved.
The pet-to-fur-baby evolution can be credited (归因) to many things, including overemphasis (过度强调) on the human-animal bond, ignorance of animals’ biological needs, irresistible (无法抵挡的) consumerism and showing off. The major causes and outcomes of fur babyism have strengthened and spread globally. Evidence for this is inescapable and goes beyond the availability of clothes for birthdays, festivals and so on. Strollers (推车), jewellery, nappies (尿布), nail polish, birthday cakes and shoes are now available for the modern fur baby, as are “gold standard” veterinary (兽医的) treatments.
The negative health effects of fur babyism are well documented. Take strollers for dogs: while potentially useful for animals with disabilities, their overuse in other dogs can lead to weakening of muscles, joint damage and obesity (肥胖症). Restricting the fur baby’s movement limits its natural ability to explore, mark territory (领地) and interact with environmental features, such as others of its species, leading to fear and anxiety.
Given these potential health and welfare risks, one would expect veterinary experts to take a leading role in saying no to the “fur baby” phenomenon. Strangely, attitudes among veterinarians vary widely — some criticize the trend while others support it and even profit (获利) from it. The latter is troubling because over-treatment may further harm animal welfare without necessarily improving health. Owners’ love for their pets is understandable, but must be balanced by prioritizing the animals’ interests. What is far less acceptable is the vet who cashes in on an owner’s misguided love for their pet to conduct unnecessary, painful and expensive tests and operations on an animal that cannot give its permission (许可).
All caregivers should reflect on the suffering that may arise when animals are treated improperly: that is, as children rather than dogs or cats. And vets chasing the fur baby trend should know better.
12. Which action below reflects fur babyism
A. Training pets to follow basic commands.
B. Celebrating pets’ birthday with a special treat.
C. Taking pets to the vet only when they are ill.
D. Providing pets with daily food and clean water.
13. Why would strollers damage a dog’s health
A. They destroy the territory for dogs to explore.
B. They let disabled dogs take up too much space.
C. They rob the normal dogs of their chances to exercise.
D. They frighten the dogs and awaken their negative emotions.
14. What does the writer find unacceptable
A. The vets’ greed and irresponsibility. B. The owner’s love and ignorance.
C. The animal’s inability to say no. D. The society’s lack of reflection.
15. What is the writer’s attitude toward vets chasing the fur baby trend
A. Positive. B. Uncertain. C. Understanding. D. Critical.

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。
The toy industry is pushing forward with AI chatbots built into stuffed animals and mini robots. These toys are flexible (灵活的) enough to make limited conversations with children and to respond to them just as they finish talking. ____16____ Will toys like Curio’s Grem help or harm children’s language development
____17____ But these vocabulary words are not learned when spoken out of context, as current AI toys do, but from caregivers who make the words come alive. Research shows that chatbot talk is unlikely to improve young children’s language outcomes. In fact, if allowed to replace conversations with caregivers, these toys may prevent children’s language learning.
When a caregiver describes something that a child is interested in, children can learn its name. A chatbot is less able to teach children about their environments because it cannot see and describe a toy the child is holding. Even if it could see, it does not have prior knowledge about the toys a child owns. Language skills do not grow from simply hearing lots of words. ____18____
____19____ The caregivers’ repetition of a word not only emphasizes its name, but also gives the child more information about the sound of the word. If the child mispronounces the word, the caregiver will likely emphasize the correct pronunciation (发音). Commercially available chatbots can’t reliably do this.
Quality language teaching should be based on what the child know, take the child’s perspective and past history into consideration, and respond to their questions. We have seen some social robots that can help preschool children learn vocabulary. However, we need more research to know the effects these robots have on children’s language learning. Until that happens, we believe that the humans in children’s lives are responsible for making the conversations that grow their language. As a researcher and his teammates put it, “____20____”
A. Our babies shouldn’t be lab mice for toy companies.
B. Will these toys truly bring love and care to our children
C. It is the technology behind the toys that determines the result of learning.
D. They grow from hearing words in conversations that catch the child’s attention.
E. The more language that is spoken to children, the bigger their vocabulary will be.
F. Are these interactions enough to provide the “personalized education” they claimed
G. Finally, children are also seeking further information about the sounds of their language.

This spirit soon ____28____ into our lives off the water, and our weekly gatherings after practice naturally became our ____29____.
We bonded over common ____30____ — the expensive rental (租赁，租房) market and the “polite” social scene where plans for hiking always slipped. Yet, when we were together, these problems ____31____ less. We weren’t just surviving the city’s coldness; we were ____32____ a micro-community of our own.
One summer night, after winning a major race, we ____33____ by the waterfront. In that golden moment, we realized we had ____34____ what we came for. We were four strangers from different continents, but dragon boating gave us a place to ____35____, a reason to stay and a rhythm to move forward by being together.

Traditional Chinese paper-cutting, once limited to window decorations during weddings and the Spring Festival, now is turning up in product design and art exhibitions far from home. Among the artists ____36____ (bring) this thousand-year-old craft into modern design is Gen Y creator Chen Fenwan, ____37____ has designed gift boxes for Jo Malone and created smartwatch bands for Huawei.
Chen calls herself “an artist made of paper”, believing paper shapes both her creations and her thinking. Traditionally, the cut-out parts are ____38____ (throw) away and the intact (完好的) pattern is what people keep. Chen challenges this logic. “Can the hollow (镂空) itself become the main subject ” she asked. This ____39____ (reflect) shaped her exhibition displayed on Paris’s Champs- lysées during the 2024 Summer Olympics. Chen imagines a world ____40____ paper is not just a craft material but the foundation of an entire civilization, presenting everything in symmetrical (对称的) forms to symbolize a society built on control and balance.
“The interaction of solid and void (实与虚) in paper-cutting represents Eastern philosophies of coexistence,” she explained. ____41____ (surprising), when she introduced her work to the president of the IOC, he immediately brought up “yin and yang”, making her realize it is a ____42____ (universe) language of balance.
Another feature of Chen’s work is her brave use of pink. It was not until 2016 that she embraced pink as the natural color of Asian skin, ____43____ color of life itself which ____44____ (mirror) her growing courage to break free from old ideas.
In her view, the modern vitality of paper-cutting lies ____45____ not color, form, or technique, but the modern spirit and ideas it carries. “I want my works to draw attention, but more importantly, to make people think about the stories and realities they reflect.”

The snow fell soft like wool on the quiet afternoon of New Year’s Eve. In the field, Tom looked at his small flock (羊群) — five nervous sheep and two jumpy lambs — and knew he had to start. Uncle Sean’s farm lay three hills away, and Sean, with a bad leg, was in great need of wool for mending and milk for his sick wife. The old road was Tom’s only path.
The first hill was easy, but the sheep, smelling the coming storm, gathered close and cried, refusing to move. Tom didn’t shout. He walked ahead, shaking a handful of grain, humming (哼唱) the steady tune his father used to sing. One by one, the sheep followed the promise of supper.
By the second hill, the world turned white. A bitter wind threw the snow sideways, stinging Tom’s cheeks and hiding the trail. The lambs stumbled (蹒跚), crying sadly. Tom, his hands numb, took off his own thick mittens (手套) and wrapped the smallest lamb in his scarf, carrying it inside his coat. The mother sheep, seeing this, stayed close to him, and the others followed.
The real trouble came at the frozen creek (小溪). The ice groaned under the wind’s howl, and the sheep planted their hooves (蹄), wild with fear, not daring to move ahead. The bridge was a mile upstream — time they did not have. Tom’s breath came in clouds. He was cold, tired, and very young. But then he thought of Uncle Sean’s empty shelves.
注意：

The toy industry is pushing forward with AI chatbots built into stuffed animals and mini robots. These toys are flexible (灵活的) enough to make limited conversations with children and to respond to them just as they finish talking. ____16____ Will toys like Curio’s Grem help or harm children’s language development
____17____ But these vocabulary words are not learned when spoken out of context, as current AI toys do, but from caregivers who make the words come alive. Research shows that chatbot talk is unlikely to improve young children’s language outcomes. In fact, if allowed to replace conversations with caregivers, these toys may prevent children’s language learning.
When a caregiver describes something that a child is interested in, children can learn its name. A chatbot is less able to teach children about their environments because it cannot see and describe a toy the child is holding. Even if it could see, it does not have prior knowledge about the toys a child owns. Language skills do not grow from simply hearing lots of words. ____18____
____19____ The caregivers’ repetition of a word not only emphasizes its name, but also gives the child more information about the sound of the word. If the child mispronounces the word, the caregiver will likely emphasize the correct pronunciation (发音). Commercially available chatbots can’t reliably do this.
Quality language teaching should be based on what the child know, take the child’s perspective and past history into consideration, and respond to their questions. We have seen some social robots that can help preschool children learn vocabulary. However, we need more research to know the effects these robots have on children’s language learning. Until that happens, we believe that the humans in children’s lives are responsible for making the conversations that grow their language. As a researcher and his teammates put it, “____20____”
A. Our babies shouldn’t be lab mice for toy companies.
B. Will these toys truly bring love and care to our children
C. It is the technology behind the toys that determines the result of learning.
D. They grow from hearing words in conversations that catch the child’s attention.
E. The more language that is spoken to children, the bigger their vocabulary will be.
F. Are these interactions enough to provide the “personalized education” they claimed
G. Finally, children are also seeking further information about the sounds of their language.

【答案】Dear Benjamin,
I’m writing to offer my sincere advice on the reading material for the coming reading salon. After careful consideration, I suggest we choose The Old Man and the Sea.
Firstly, its language is simple and easy for us senior high school students to understand, which helps us focus on the story itself. Secondly, the old man’s spirit of never giving up in the face of difficulties is deeply inspiring and worth our in-depth discussion. It can also arouse our enthusiasm for reading and sharing our thoughts.
I hope my advice will be helpful to you.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 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。
The snow fell soft like wool on the quiet afternoon of New Year’s Eve. In the field, Tom looked at his small flock (羊群) — five nervous sheep and two jumpy lambs — and knew he had to start. Uncle Sean’s farm lay three hills away, and Sean, with a bad leg, was in great need of wool for mending and milk for his sick wife. The old road was Tom’s only path.
The first hill was easy, but the sheep, smelling the coming storm, gathered close and cried, refusing to move. Tom didn’t shout. He walked ahead, shaking a handful of grain, humming (哼唱) the steady tune his father used to sing. One by one, the sheep followed the promise of supper.
By the second hill, the world turned white. A bitter wind threw the snow sideways, stinging Tom’s cheeks and hiding the trail. The lambs stumbled (蹒跚), crying sadly. Tom, his hands numb, took off his own thick mittens (手套) and wrapped the smallest lamb in his scarf, carrying it inside his coat. The mother sheep, seeing this, stayed close to him, and the others followed.
The real trouble came at the frozen creek (小溪). The ice groaned under the wind’s howl, and the sheep planted their hooves (蹄), wild with fear, not daring to move ahead. The bridge was a mile upstream — time they did not have. Tom’s breath came in clouds. He was cold, tired, and very young. But then he thought of Uncle Sean’s empty shelves.
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；
（3）续写的两段内部不可以再分段。

【答案】Tom knew he must do something to encourage the lead sheep. Taking a deep breath, he stepped bravely and carefully onto the ice, his teeth chattering with cold. The ice let out a sharp creak under his feet, but he kept moving slowly, calling the lead sheep in a soft voice that was full of reassurance. Having scattered some grain on the ice ahead, he watched as the lead sheep, tempted by the food and trusting his guidance, hesitantly lifted one hoof and then another. Guided by their leader, the rest of the flock followed closely, with Tom holding the smallest lamb tightly in his coat and walking step by step to ensure their safety across the frozen creek.
Uncle Sean stood at the door, looking at Tom with wonder — the boy was setting down the lambs from his shoulder. His hair and clothes covered with thick snow, Tom stood there shivering, his hands red and numb from the bitter cold yet his eyes shining with determination. Uncle Sean, whose bad leg ached badly, hurried to help him in, his voice choked with emotion as he hugged the boy tightly. With a warm smile on her face, Uncle Sean’s sick wife looked over from the bed, and the small cottage, filled with the sound of their gentle talks and the soft bleating of the sheep outside, was wrapped in a warmth that chased away all the cold of the New Year’s Eve storm.
