The 2025 Global Innovation Index (GII), released by World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), ranks top metro-city clusters (大都市群) based on investment, tech progress, adoption rates, and socioeconomic impact.
Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou, ranked first, pushed China into the GII top 10 for the first time. This region integrates tech into daily life — street markets use QR codes alongside handwritten signs. Visitors can catch drone shows that take place over Shenzhen Talent Park Bay or during major events such as the Spring Festival and National Day. The city recently set the record for the world’s largest drone show, employing nearly 12,000 drones.
Tokyo-Yokohama produces the highest percentage of international patent filings in the world. Tech here is practical: AI checkout systems and multifunctional train cards. Visitors can experience automatic service at Henn Na Hotel or ride driverless trains with skyline views. TeamLab Planets offers an immersive (沉浸式的) art experience. Entire rooms react to visitors’ movements, light and sound.
San Jose-San Francisco, Silicon Valley’s center, dominates venture capital (风险资本) (7% of global deals). Dense networking attracts start-up founders, especially as the AI opportunity stands out. For visitors to San Francisco and Silicon Valley, it’s all about trying tech before it hits the mainstream. Autonomous-driving Waymo cars have significant market share in the area and can be used by anyone who downloads the app.
Beijing, China’s capital, outscored every other city for scientific research output, contributing 4% of all globally published papers. Daily life is powered by super apps like Alipay and WeChat, both of which include translation options, QR code payments and food ordering solutions. Travellers can also experience the city’s advanced AI firsthand by booking Baidu’s Apollo robotaxi.
21. Where can visitors most probably find a drone performance
A. Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou. B. Tokyo-Yokohama.

For years, I viewed my grandfather’s vineyard (葡萄园) as a chain tying me to a forgotten past. Every summer vacation felt like a sentence. The air smelled of damp earth and pesticide, a sharp contrast to the clean, digital scent of my city life. I counted down the days until my escape, the quiet countryside feeling not peaceful, but empty and slow.
The change began with the arrival of a young agricultural scientist, Miss Li, from the county’s new “Rural Revitalization” project. She brought not just new organic fertilizers, but a tablet full of colorful soil analysis charts. My grandfather listened with polite skepticism, his face a mask of weathered tradition. Out of boredom, I started wandering around them. I was surprised to find myself inspired. I began translating the technical terms on the tablet into our local dialect for Grandpa, and explaining his decades of wisdom to Miss Li. A tiny spark (火花) of curiosity lit up where there was once only dullness.
One afternoon, a sudden hailstorm threatened the ripening grapes. Panic seized me — not for myself, but for the vines we had grown. Miss Li showed us satellite weather tracking on her phone, predicting the storm’s path. For the first time, I didn’t see technology as an enemy of this place, but as its friends. A fierce sense of protection, mixed with a new-found awe, warmed me from within. I was no longer just an observer; I got involved.
The autumn harvest was a success of this unlikely partnership. Grandfather placed a heavy hand on my shoulder. “This harvest,” he said, his voice thick with emotion, “has your mark on it.” A profound pride, deep and solid, settled in my chest. I finally understood that my growth wasn’t about escaping this land, but about enriching it. The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. In helping to revive its roots, I had discovered my own.
24. What did the author initially think of his summer at the vineyard
A. A burden. B. A reward. C. A lesson. D. An entertainment.
25. What changed the author’s view of the vineyard
A. Miss Li’s suggestion. B. His grandfather’s persuasion.
C. His involvement in the vineyard. D. The new “Rural Revitalization” project.
26. What does “canvas” in the last paragraph symbolize
A. The freedom of modern urban life.
B. A material for recording one’s experience.
C. The transition between tradition and modernity.
D. A platform for realizing one’s potential and value.
27. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. From Chain to Canvas: My Growth in the Vineyard
B. A Summer Escape: From City Life to the Countryside
C. An Exciting Success: the “Rural Revitalization” Project
D. The Lasting Conflict: Traditional Wisdom vs Modern Tech

Restrictions on vapes (电子烟) are multiplying. Belgium banned sales of throwaway vapes on January 1st. France adopted a similar law on February 24th. Other bans may soon come into force in England, Scotland, Wales and New Zealand. More than 30 countries including Brazil and India have outlawed all vaping products. Are such measures justified
Vaping clearly carries risks. Starting in 2019, America’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) began to track a new disease known as EVALI (“e-cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury”). As of February 18th 2020, the CDC had identified 2,807 admissions to hospital for EVALI in America. At least 68 of those patients had died.
Swift action arose. Researchers pointed fingers at vitamin E acetate (醋酸酯), a skincare oil that was added to many unlawful masses of vaping liquids as a thickening agent. When vitamin E acetate is heated, highly poisonous gas is produced. Many areas outlawed any addition of vitamin E acetate to vape liquids, and crackdowns on black markets followed. EVALI cases fell greatly; the CDC has not detected a revival.
Yet health authorities believe EVALI might also be caused by other substances in vape, including those that are produced legally. In a landmark analysis of four popular vaping liquids published in Chemical Research in Toxicology in 2021, a team at Johns Hopkins University labelled six ingredients as potentially harmful. Earlier studies had found vaping mixtures that used heavy metals such as lead.
There are other reasons to be concerned. First, as vaping rose in popularity only in the past dozen or so years, it remains to be seen whether cancer cases could arise. Lab mice have developed cancers after being subjected to vape aerosols (气溶胶). The second is that vape aerosols have been found to damage human tissue, including DNA.
28. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about
A. The health risks of vaping. B. The trend of banning vapes.
C. The distribution of vapes sale. D. The measures of promoting vapes.
29. What is the main reason for the global bans on vapes
A. The decline in traditional cigarette sales.
B. The high cost of regulating vaping products.
C. The environmental issues caused by e-cigarettes.
D. The outbreak of EVALI linked to vaping products.
30. What directly resulted from banning vitamin E acetate
A. EVALI cases dropped sharply. B. CDC stopped tracking EVALI.
C. More countries banned all vapes. D. Other harmful substances were found.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Vaping is not as popular as before.
B. Health risks by vaping may still exist.
C. Lab mice are likely to spread diseases.
D. Vape aerosols can cure damaged human tissue.

What does it take to become the best at something The answer may not lie in early childhood excellence or in lifelong dedication. Instead, the path to becoming exceptional at a skill might involve a lot more.
That’s according to recent research published in Science that seeks to reveal what it takes to do extremely well in different performance areas, from sports to chess to classical music. Somewhat contrary to common sense, the study authors learned, people who showed the greatest promise in their field as children rarely went on to reach the peak of their field as adults.
The findings challenge the “10,000-hour rule”, the idea that if someone spends 10,000 hours deliberately practicing a skill, they will master it, says Purdue University psychologist Brooke Macnamara, who co-authored the analysis. The rule, which was popularized in Malcolm Gladwell’s 2008 book Outliers, is based on a 1993 study of top-performing violin students. These students had each accumulated an average of 10,000 hours of practice by age 20. Yet they were not world-class performers, Macnamara points out.
“Compared with their national-class fellows who are very good but not the best, world-class performers often started their field later,” Macnamara explains. These people tend to take part in multiple activities early on and don’t shine in one thing at a particularly young age. “They accumulate less practice in their field and more practice in other fields and then rise to the top relatively late,” she says.
The researchers highlight that the findings aren’t suggesting people don’t need to practice or put in effort to become the cream of the crop. Instead they show that top adult performers tend to be “late bloomers”, Macnamara says.
Boston University researcher Edson Filho, uninvolved in the study, notes that athletes in certain sports, such as gymnastics, hit peak performance far earlier in life than others. And this analysis, he adds, doesn’t get into other factors such as money and coaching that can influence who becomes the cream of the crop.
32. What do we know about the recent research
A. It corresponds with what is widely believed.
B. It explores the length of becoming an expert.
C. It highlights the natural talent in later success.
D. It shows young talents seldom become top-ranked.
33. What sets world-class performers apart from national-class ones
A. Early entry to a certain field. B. Former cross-field experience.
C. Enough practice accumulation. D. Signs of childhood excellence.
34. What does the underlined words “the cream of the crop” in paragraph 5 mean
A. A person of green diet.
B. A person of average level.
C. A person of outstanding ability.
D. A person of self-taught experience.
35. What is Edson Filho’s attitude towards the research findings
A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Unclear. D. Neutral.

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。
What exactly is a chore The word alone brings to mind boring, repetitive tasks — cleaning, doing laundry, or paying bills. 36 But why are these everyday tasks so important The answer might surprise you: they are the foundation of a well-run life.
37 Chores feel tiring for several psychological reasons. They rarely offer instant rewards, making them feel like a waste of time. Since they need to be done repeatedly, they can seem endless. Our brains are also wired to avoid unpleasant tasks, causing procrastination (拖延). It’s also easy to underestimate how important chores really are. We only notice their value when they’re left undone — when dishes pile up or bills are overdue.
So what makes chores so essential For starters, they create stability. Life runs on routines, and chores maintain order. A tidy space helps us think clearly. 38 Paying bills on time avoids late fees; regular car maintenance prevents costly repairs. Perhaps most importantly, they support health and personal growth. Cooking healthy meals and keeping a clean home reduce health risks. 39 By staying organized, we create room for hobbies, family, and creative projects.
Fortunately, there are simple ways to make chores easier. View them as necessary “life maintenance”. Build simple routines and handle small tasks right away. Break large tasks down into smaller, manageable steps. 40 Remember: chores aren’t obstacles; they’re the quiet heroes that keep life running smoothly.
A. Beyond that, they act as preventive medicine.
B. Even five minutes of effort can make a difference.
C. These are tasks we must do, not choose to do for fun.
D. Moreover, they build the kind of order that fuels creativity.
E. They also free up time for the people and activities we love.
F. This sense of control, in turn, reduces anxiety about the future.
G. Yet despite their importance, most of us find them unpleasant.

Over the past period, overseas social media platforms have witnessed an explosion in the “Becoming Chinese” trend, with many foreign bloggers imitating Chinese habits such as drinking hot water and practicing Baduanjin. Afterward, this trend 56 (far) developed into “Chinamaxxing”, as foreigners began to fit in with Chinese lifestyle by engaging 57 behaviors like wearing indoor slippers, cooking with rice cookers, and avoiding raw and cold foods.
CNN reported that the trend is driven not just by the rapid 58 (grow) of China’s economic strength, but more importantly by the fact that Chinese culture itself is simply “cool.”
Videos 59 (feature) China’s shining skyscrapers and high-speed trains frequently top social media trends, drawing attention and heated discussions among young American netizens. Meanwhile, China’s rapid advances in electric 60 (vehicle) and green energy have also become a hot topic overseas.
61 (additional), a report by CNN cited analysis from Harvard University researchers, saying that in recent years, China’s video games, films and other such works 62 (reshape) the cultural imagination of China among Americans and even the entire Western world. A previous report was published by BBC, 63 also mentioned that on social media, “Chinamaxxing” is gaining popularity in the West.
It was also 64 (state) on Time magazine’s website that since the start of this year’s Chinese New Year, a considerable amount of content online has introduced Chinese culture. Even some American social media users identify 65 (they) as “Chinese”, embracing “Chinese era” or “Chinamaxxing”. The trend reflects a growing fascination with China as the country opens up and rises in soft power.

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。
Last summer, my family and I spent a week at a remote cabin by Willow Lake, surrounded by thick woods. My 12-year-old brother Tom was crazy about all kinds of small animals, and he often wandered around the lake with a camera, hoping to take photos of wild birds. He was a boy with a sharp eye and a warm heart, always ready to notice and care for creatures in need.
One afternoon, as we walked along the shore, Tom suddenly stopped. He noticed a group of wild birds flying restlessly above the water, their unusual chirps (吱吱叫) echoing through the air. Concerned for their safety, he followed their direction, his curiosity guiding him toward something wrong.
As we drew near, Tom froze in shock. On the muddy shore, a young wild duck was stuck in a pile of plastic waste and old fishing nets. Its right wing was tangled (缠住) tightly, and it struggled weakly, too frightened to move. With each shake, the net tightened around its body, leaving painful marks on its skin. The water level was rising little by little with the approaching sunset, and the duck’s body was half soaked. Its small body trembled, and every weak flap of its wing was a silent cry for help.
A sense of urgency filled Tom, pushing him forward with determination and resolve. Realizing that time was tight, he knew he had to act instantly to free this innocent creature before it submitted to exhaustion or the danger of the rising water. “Let’s help it out.” Tom said in a determined voice. I nodded and tried to untangle the net with my bare hands but failed, for the net was twisted too tightly and there was a sharp plastic edge hidden in it — any careless move would hurt the duck badly.
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。
Without hesitation, Tom rushed back to the cabin to get help. The duck-saving photo becoming a hit online, more people began to take action.

Dear Vincent,
Knowing that you are interested in the development of renewable energy in China, I’m writing to introduce its types, applications and advantages.
Recently, renewable energies, ranging from wind power to solar power, have greatly benefited China. For instance, hydro power enables factories to limit their impact on the environment. Besides, street lamps powered by solar energy line the pared with fossil fuels, not only does renewable energy relieve the energy shortage but also decreases the emission of greenhouse gases.
Has renewable energy made a difference to your country I can’t wait to hear from you and learn more details.
Best wishes,
Li Hua

【参考例文】
Without hesitation, Tom rushed back to the cabin to get help. His heart pounding wildly, he grabbed a pair of sharp scissors and urged our parents to join in the rescue. Together they hurried back to the shore, where the young duck still trembled in fear. With our parents’ help, Tom carefully cut the tangled net and finally set the duck free. The duck stood there for a moment, as if thanking us. Touched by the scene, Tom took a picture and posted it online.
The duck-saving photo becoming a hit online, more people began to take action. Many local people came to the lake collecting plastic bags and nets along the shore. They put up a sign reading “Protect the lake, protect wildlife”. Never had Tom thought that his photo could make such a difference. This experience made us realize that every small act of kindness counts, and environmental protection is our shared responsibility.

Hello, my name is Ed Crane. And with me is my service dog (18). His name is Zern. He is trained to help me with Epilepsy. Epilepsy is a terrible disease that causes a person to move his body suddenly and violently. When the human body is going to suffer from epilepsy, it gives off a smell that a regular person isn’t able to find. But the dog is able to smell it about 15-20 minutes before I can feel it (19). And once he smells that, he then starts to run my legs as he was trained, regardless of the time of the day or anything else. I am trained at that point to immediately lie down. And the reason is to prevent falls or injuries. Since I’ve had this dog, I’ve had no injuries at all. He can do about 30 other commands. He has given me independence and the ability to do things I wasn’t able to do before (20). That’s amazing.
