2025 marked a new chapter for cultural exchange between China and Germany, especially in the field of ceramic art. This cross-cultural dialogue was led by Li Wei, a renowned Chinese ceramic artist who has dedicated over 20 years to reviving traditional Jingdezhen porcelain techniques while blending modern design elements.
Li’s latest project, named “Clay & Creativity”, was mounted at the Berlin University of the Arts in March. The initiative brought together 15 design students from Germany’s top art schools and 10 Chinese ceramic craftsmen for a three-month collaborative program. Unlike typical cultural exchange events that only showcase finished artworks, “Clay & Creativity” focused on hands-on learning: students learned to shape porcelain using ancient Chinese methods, while craftsmen absorbed Western concepts of minimalism and functional design.
Li was not the only one bridging cultural gaps through ceramic art. International brands have also recognized the value of combining Eastern craftsmanship with Western design. In April, luxury homeware brand Villeroy & Boch partnered with a Jingdezhen ceramic studio to create a limited-edition tableware series. Meanwhile, the German Design Council organized a workshop in Shanghai, inviting Chinese artisans to share their skills with European designers. However, Li’s project stood out for its emphasis on grassroots interaction rather than commercial cooperation. “True cultural exchange happens when people create together, not just trade products,” Li explained in an interview with a design magazine.
One of the standout participants was Lina Schmidt, a twenty-two-year-old German student. Her final piece — a porcelain teapot that merged Chinese blue-and-white patterns with German Bauhaus geometric shapes — was selected to be exhibited at the Munich Design Museum later this year. “Working with Master Li completely changed my understanding of ceramic art,” Schmidt said. “He taught us that tradition isn’t a fixed rule but a living language that can be reimagined. This experience made me realize how much Eastern and Western design can learn from each other.”
24．What is the main focus of Li Wei’s “Clay & Creativity” project
A．Training craftsmen in Western design concepts.
B．Showcasing finished ceramic artworks in Berlin.
C．Promoting commercial trade of porcelain products.
D．Offering hands-on collaborative learning experiences.
25．Why does the author mention Villeroy & Boch and the German Design Council
A．To illustrate broader efforts in cultural integration.
B．To highlight the popularity of Jingdezhen porcelain.
C．To compare their approaches with Li Wei’s project.
D．To prove the commercial value of modern ceramic art.
26．What makes Li Wei’s project different from other similar initiatives
A．It involves more international students and craftsmen.
B．It has received support from top international brands.
C．It aims to revive traditional Chinese porcelain techniques.
D．It focuses on grassroots creative cooperation instead of business.
27．What does Lina Schmidt think of her experience with Li Wei
A．It helped her master fixed traditional ceramic rules.
B．It made her realize the superiority of Eastern design.
C．It encouraged her to focus on commercial ceramic design.
D．It inspired her to combine different design styles creatively.
The fountain (喷泉) show of a famous hotel, on the Las Vegas Strip, attracts many visitors every day. But on Tuesday, March 5, this tradition had to be stopped for a unique guest. A yellow-billed loon, a bird not usually found on the mainland of the U.S., landed in the fountain.
“We are happy to welcome the unique guest,” wrote the hotel team on Twitter. They then announced that the fountains had been stopped and that they were working with state wildlife officials to rescue the bird, which had “found comfort in our little lake.”
It is extremely rare (罕见的) to see a yellow-billed loon in the Las Vegas area, as it usually makes its home in the Arctic and along the Pacific mainland. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed it as “vulnerable” meaning it could be at risk of endangerment (受到危害) in the future, while the National Park Service (NPS) considers it to be one of the ten rarest birds that breed (繁殖) on the mainland of the United States, adding that about 20%-25% of the global population visits Alaska seasonally.
“It’s an odd thing that it would come to the hotel’s fountains, where there are so many people,” said Kurt Buzard of the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve. According to him, the yellow-billed loon is a younger bird that might have gotten lost while trying to travel north along the coast, where most yellow-billed loons travel. “It’s really off-course here. Very unusual to see a bird like that here.”
At first, officials from the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) decided it was best not to trouble the bird, giving it a day to work it out on its own. But when Wednesday came, they were worried about the absence of food the loon may face if it stayed there, so they caught the bird. Once they made sure it was unharmed and in good health, it was transported to the Wetlands, an area about 5 miles from the Strip, where it had plenty of food and water.
28．What happened to the fountain show on Tuesday
A．It was turned off because of an emergency. B．It had a special mix of music and lights.
C．It drew a large number of visitors. D．It was canceled for repair work.
29．Why does the author mention IUCN and NPS in paragraph 3
A．To stress the yellow-billed loon’s rareness and survival situation.
B．To discuss the yellow-billed loon’s living place preferences.
C．To explain the yellow-billed loon’s seasonal visits to Alaska.
D．To introduce the yellow-billed loon’s breeding models.
30．What does the underlined word “odd” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Interesting. B．Surprising. C．Difficult. D．Natural.
31．What was the NDOW officials’ first reaction to the bird
A．To leave it alone. B．To inform its owner.
C．To check its condition. D．To move it somewhere else.
Some of the world’s most important scientists think the idea of people living on Mars will come true one day. Stephen Hawking believed humans must move into space to survive. “Once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies, our future should be safe.” he said. Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, agrees and thinks starting with Mars makes the most sense. He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot—for example, about the ability of humans to live in a very different environment.
However, scientists will need to terraform Mars for people to be able to live. Terraforming means changing the environment on a planet so that it is similar to Earth’s. One of the main goals of terraforming Mars is to warm it up because the average temperature there is about -60℃. One idea for warming Mars is to build factories there that produce greenhouse gases. This could take many centuries. However, it should lead to rainfall and the growth of plants, resulting in more air that people can breathe.
Another big concern for scientists is whether humans can move to Mars and still stay healthy in mind and body. As a test, six people lived in a Mars-like environment in Hawaii for a year before “returning to Earth” recently. It was a 1,200-square-foot room that was on the side of a volcano and used the sun for energy. Christiane Heinicke, one of the people who lived there, said that one of the biggest issues was feeling bored. So humans on Mars would always need to keep themselves busy with various activities. Another important finding was that the people living together should all be able to get along and work together.
One particular organization based in Europe is planning to send the first humans to Mars before 2030.The organization believes that its project is giving people worldwide the chance to be part of the first human crew ever to live on Mars for good. However, many experts think the project’s cost of US $6 billion is too low for it to be successful. The American space agency NASA believes that sending people to Mars would cost about US $100 billion, although this estimate is based on bringing them back to Earth, too. Regardless, it seems that humans living on Mars may well happen a lot sooner than most people believe.
32．Why choose Mars first
A．It has no extreme cold. B．It’s fit for quick terraforming.
C．It helps study human adaptability. D．It’s closer than other planets.
33．What worries scientists most
A．Greenhouse gas shortage B．Human physical/mental health
C．Lack of funding for factories D．Volcanoes on Mars’ surface
34．What is the connection between Hawaii test and Mars life
A．Both need sun energy use B．Both require team cooperation
C．Both have 1,200-square-foot space D．Both last exactly one year
35．How is the 2030 Mars plan viewed
A．Cost estimate is too low. B．It can finish terraforming first.
C．NASA will fund it fully. D．It ignores health risks.
How to Get Better at Doing Things Alone
In a time of loneliness, it may seem strange to spare alone time. But as long as you also have a strong social network, research suggests that quality solo time increases happiness, reduces stress, and improves life satisfaction. 36 . This is because when you’re alone, you’re able to get in touch with yourself in a way you can’t when surrounded by other opinions and ideas. With that in mind, we asked experts how to master the art of spending time alone. Start with a low-risk outing
Write down what you’d like to do by yourself, ranked from the most difficult activity to the least. Traveling internationally or attending a concert might be a 10, for example, while going to the park may be a 3. 37 . 38
Once you’ve decided to head out on your own, search online to figure out exactly where to go. Look up places nearby in advance that are, for example, great for dining alone. The more excited you are about what waits for you, the more likely you are to have a great time. Bring along a distraction
When you start going places alone, it can be helpful to have something to focus on, like a book or a journal. Keeping your headphones on and listening to a favorite podcast or an audiobook can serve the same purpose. 39 . Celebrate your achievements
The next time you go out alone, think of it as taking yourself on a date. When you get home, spend a few minutes celebrating the experience. 40 . Give yourself praises for stepping outside of your comfort zone, which will inspire you to go forward.
A．Do your homework beforehand
B．Lean into moments of connection
C．It can even make you more productive and creative
D．It becomes less of being alone and more just being present
E．You can brainstorm ways to make the easiest one less difficult
F．In the early days, these provide a welcome sense of comfort
G．Maybe that means journaling or posting a photo on social media

In the classroom of Class 7, Grade 8, students were excited about an upcoming event. The school had organized a speech competition titled “Ways to Become Successful,” and many students were eager to showcase their public speaking skills. Among them was 13-year-old Zora, who, had already won two speech contests and was full of confidence that she could win again.
Zora volunteered to represent her class in the competition, and after a round of voting, she was chosen as the class representative. Although there were only seven days left until the big day, Zora felt a sense of ease about the competition. After all, she had been here before and knew what it took to win.
At home, Zora’s father congratulated her on her achievement, while her mother reminded her to take the competition seriously. Despite her parents’ advice, Zora was convinced that her past successes meant this would be a walk in the park. Her teacher also urged her to prepare diligently, but Zora only sought help once to revise her initial draft.
As the days went by, Zora did not put in the necessary effort to refine her speech. When the day of the competition arrived, she was hit with a sudden wave of panic. She couldn’t remember the content of her speech, and as she stepped onto the stage, her anxiety only grew. After delivering the opening lines, she froze, unable to continue. The supportive applause from the audience only added to her confusion, leaving no room for her to recall her prepared words.
Zora struggled through the rest of her speech, finishing it in a state of embarrassment and shame. As she walked off the stage, she saw the disappointment in her teacher’s eyes and felt the letdown from her classmates. It was a heavy burden to bear.
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。
Back at home, Zora could no longer hold back her tears.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, Zora went to school and apologized to her class.

【原文】
M: Good afternoon, dear listeners. In today’s program, I’d like to talk about a common exercise. Many people love running early in the morning. Why Actually it has many benefits. Not only will you begin a day more relaxed, but also you’ve already had a sense of achievement. If you’re also eager to enjoy the benefits of a morning run, try these. First, getting ready for a painful start. To many people, getting up early in the morning can be a great pain, especially in cold winter days. So early to bed, early to rise, and make it a habit. Of equal importance is to keep an open mind. Even if you’ve made enough preparation and determination, there are still times, when you want to quit. My advice is to accept the setback and instead of giving up, keep going. Another helpful way is to find someone to be together with you. This can make things more interesting. He or she not only gives you company, but also serves as a monitor.

M: Sounds like a plan. My work has been finished so far this Friday. I don’t have to work overtime on Saturday. Ah, I almost forgot. Here is a present Lily prepared for you.
W: She is the new secretary in our company. I never thought about that.
M: Actually, it’s our boss, Mr. Robinson’s idea.
W: That’s really touching.

W: I only got one interview because of my punishing schedule. A month has gone by and I haven’t heard from them. I guess I didn’t make it. But I made sure I was on time anyway. Nothing is worse than being late for an interview.
M: Don’t worry, John. It helps to do some homework before you go to an interview. You need to know the company well.
W: I don’t know about this. I’ve only thought about questions they might ask me.
M: Oh yes, it also plays an important part.
12．A 13．C 14．B
【原文】 Good morning, students. This is your headmaster speaking. Firstly, I’d like to welcome you all back. I hope this will be another excellent school year.
Many changes have taken place at the school over the summer. As well as a new group of students, we’re also welcoming some new members of staff. They’re Mr Smith, who will be teaching physics, Miss Chang, the new Chinese teacher and our new boys’ PE coach, Mr Black.
You will also notice several changes to the school puter classes will now take place in the new technology center, which is behind the teaching building. The old computer rooms are now a part of the library, which is now much bigger and collects thousands of new books. The school meeting hall has been much improved, and we now have a proper place to perform concerts and plays.
Though there are many changes in our school, the rules remain the same. Be on time, and always do your best. Thank you!

M: Yes, you can do that on the official website. Actually, if you plan to visit more times in the near future, a membership, especially the VIP card, would bring big cost saving for you.

66．One possible version：
Located in Southwest China, Sichuan Province has many world-famous places of interest. One of my family trips to Jiuzhaigou, a nature reserve in Sichuan, still remains fresh in my memory.
Stepping onto the magical land, I was totally stunned by its multi-level waterfalls and lakes of amazing colors: crystal clear, blue green and dark green. Creatures were living in harmony with nature here. As we walked deeper, we even saw rare animals like giant pandas and golden monkeys.
All in all, a trip to Sichuan is highly recommended and it is well worth another visit.
67． Back at home, Zora could no longer hold back her tears. She bolted into her room and hurled herself onto the bed, weeping profusely. The recollection of her poor performance in the competition weighed heavily on her heart. Her parents quietly entered the room. Instead of getting cross, they seated themselves beside her, patiently listening as she unburdened her guilt. Zora sobbed out that she felt extremely guilty for disappointing everyone. Her parents consoled her, stating that everyone errs and it’s the way we handle failure that counts. After an extended conversation, Zora gradually composed herself and started to reflect on her errors.
The next day, Zora went to school and apologized to her class.
