For centuries, human beings have dreamed of travelling into space, orbiting our little blue planet. It seems that our dream will finally come true, as US startup Orion Span announced in early April that it planned to launch the first hotel in space in 2021. It will be ready to welcome guests the following year.
The space hotel, Aurora Station, will orbit 200 miles above Earth, circling it every 90 minutes. It can house two crew members and four guests. The crew members will likely be former NASA astronauts who worked on the International Space Station. However, there’s a catch: Each guest must pay at least $9.5 million for a 12-day stay at the hotel.
Guests can do many exciting things there. According to Orion Span, guests can enjoy the excitement of zero gravity as they fly throughout the space hotel. They can watch 16sunrises and sunsets every day and view the northern and southern auroras (极光) through the many windows. They can take part in research experiments like growing food, and even take it home as a souvenir.
But most importantly, the trip will offer a real sense of what it’s like to live in space. “The premise (前提) of Aurora Station is for guests to live, feel, and breathe what it’s like to be an astronaut,” Frank Bunger, CEO of Orion Span, told the Robb Report. “The food and drinks are freeze-dried products. It’s not going to be five-star dining… Fire and gas don’t work the same way in space as they do on Earth.”
To better prepare guests for space travel, the company will require a health screening and provide a three-month training program that helps guests understand basic space flight, orbital mechanics and life in the pressurized environment of space.
“ Future Aurora owners can live in, visit, or sublease (转租) their space apartment,” Bunger said in a news release. “This is an exciting frontier and Orion Span is proud to pave the way.”
24. What can we learn about Aurora Station
A. It will be open to guests in 2021.
B. It can serve four guests at a time.
C. It costs every guest $9.5 million a week.
D. It will invite NASA to train the guests.
25. What can guests do on Aurora Station
A. Enjoy five-star meals. B. Fly outside the space hotel.
C. Buy various souvenirs. D. View beautiful auroras.
26. According to Bunger, what is the main function of Aurora Station
A. To provide real experiences of living in space.
B. To tell the difference between Earth and space.
C. To help people know the bravery of astronauts.
D. To prepare people for future space exploration.
27. What’s the best title for the text
A. A Satellite Orbiting the Earth
B. A Space Hotel — Aurora Station
C. Aurora Station: a New Living Place for Man
D. A New Hotel That Brings People Great Benefits

Growing up in Norway (挪威), I had heard a lot about polar exploration. As a child, I spent a lot of time outdoors building bonfires (篝火), camping and skiing in the mountains.
Aged 14, seven years before my South Pole expedition (远征), I set my sights on becoming the youngest woman to ski across Greenland (格陵兰岛). At that age, several guiding companies were unwilling to take me on because I was so young. Then I met Lars Ebbesen, an experienced polar guide. Straight away, I felt he respected my ambitions. But I had to go on an expedition to Finnmark first — a county in northern Norway — to prove I was capable. It was dark and cold but I fell in love with the challenge. That experience prepared me for Greenland, where the crossing took 28 days due to terrible weather.
It was on my 15th birthday that I decided to go to Antarctica (南极洲). I didn’t tell my mum about my plans at first. I just told my dad, who is like me, a big dreamer. My mum is more pragmatic. My dad and I contacted Lars to work out the details of the trip. When I told my mum, she realized I had already made up my mind and agreed.
When I began the expedition last November, I was 21. On the expedition, I was surprised that there was so much snowfall. On the hardest days, I was in fresh snow up to my knees and could only go 9.5 km in 10 hours. Towards the end, my lungs were painful, and I struggled to breathe.
When I crossed Greenland, Lars nicknamed me “the polar egg”. The idea was that one day I would hatch (破壳) and do a bigger expedition on my own. When I reached the South Pole I sent him an emoji (表情符号) of a chick breaking out of an egg. Though with everything I’ve experienced, I feel much older than that.
28. Why did the author go on the Finnmark journey
A. To escape her everyday life. B. To explore a remote area.
C. To show her abilities. D. To meet an experienced team.
29. What does the underlined word “pragmatic” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Flexible. B. Accessible. C. Athletic. D. Realistic.
30. What can we infer about the author during her South Pole expedition
A. She enjoyed the landscape most. B. She braved the physical challenges.
C. She gained several survival skills. D. She adapted to the environment soon.
31. What did the author intend to communicate by sending Lars the emoji
A. She was ready for a new task. B. She was worthy of what she achieved.
C. She made his expectations come true. D. She did more than he believed possible.
D
While we race into a future where we outsource most of our problem-solving to artificial intelligence, the greatest threat is not super intelligent machinery. It’s mindlessly putting too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds.
A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this. To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains, but also our hands, eyes, and ears, along with our emotions. This approach taps into the cognitive (认知的) resources that are spread throughout our bodies but often go unused.
Changing how we think is hard work. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body, how we use our limbs (四肢), organs, and emotions to make sense of the world. Be mindful of all the different messages your body is sending you as well as the different roles and functions your bodily actions can play. For example, gesturing (做手势) in conversations is not just communicative. These movements often help the speaker to smooth out their thought process and assist in getting the words out.
Today, Big Tech is pushing a message of artificial-intelligence craziness and fear. What makes you stuck in it It’s seeing the same things wherever you look. Big Tech gives you screens, hoping that your attention will always be attracted by their devices. If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world, improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus. Remember everything is born of a choice.
Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do, what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools, will not weaken our humanity. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.”
32. What can we learn about artful thinking
A. It simplifies problem-solving. B. It focuses on developing our brains.
C. It helps promote high-tech machinery. D. It prevents us from over-relying on AI.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Benefits of artful intelligence. B. Significance of being mindful.
C. Mind-body awareness in thinking. D. Social interaction through movements.
34. What does the author suggest we do in the AI-filled world
A. Adapt to the rise of AI. B. Enhance the flexibility of attention.
C. Avoid the interruptions from Big Tech. D. Improve the levels of focus.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Artful Thinking Advances Big Tech
B. Physical Actions Better Cognitive Functions
C. Too Much Trust in AI Harms Our Minds
D. Mindfulness Keeps Us Human in the Age of AI
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
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。
Anyone with an internet connection can watch breaking news, or at least some version of it. Across social media, posts can fly up faster than most fact-checkers can handle, and they are often an unpredictable mix of true, fake, and out of context. 36 How do you know what to trust and what not to share Here are some basic tools everyone should use when consuming breaking news online.
37 Think about who would benefit from spreading confusing information during a news event. During elections, for example, look out for conflicting information and baseless accusations that may benefit one political party or candidate. Of course, not all misinformation is serious. Some is created just for fun or to troll (恶搞) people, so be as skeptical of silly stories as serious ones.
Slow down while reading or watching. Social media is built for things to go viral, for users to quickly share before they are even done reading the words. No matter how shocking, enlightening or annoying a TikTok or YouTube video is, you must wait before passing it on to your network. 38 That’s because they are waiting until information is confirmed and accurate. So assume everything is suspect until you confirm its authenticity (真实性).
Don’t use AI to get news. Tech companies are pushing their voice assistants and AI chatbot tools as a way to get the latest news. 39 They can be incorrect, out of date or simply copying words from sources with little credit or visibility. Some chatbots even have started adding disclaimers (免责申明) around breaking news events, advising readers to look elsewhere for new information. 40
A. Know why misinformation exists.
B. News outlets may seem slower than social media.
C. Question why you want to share it in the first place.
D. Do not rely on these features for accurate information.
E. Do a Google search for the person or organization’s name.
F. So going directly to news sources will ensure you get more accurate information.
G. The rapid spread of easily accessible AI tools is mudding the waters even further.

What surprised Peterson most was the 52 in how people saw the homeless: people no longer walked past the homeless 53 ; they stopped to talk, to listen, and to see them as neighbors with stories and dreams. “Beyond beauty, art can also connect and honor humanity,” Miller said. Each portrait serves as a 54 that everyone deserves to be seen, and each small act of kindness weaves a tighter, more 55 community.

A week after my family settled in Queens, New York, my mother enrolled me in a local elementary school. As a non-native speaker placed in English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, I felt lost from the start. The rapid English in the hallways was a blur, and in class, I struggled to form even the simplest sentences, often met with puzzled looks from my peers.
My name, unfamiliar to American ears, became a source of quiet embarrassment. Classmates would hesitate before attempting it, sometimes giggling at their own mispronunciation. Though no harm was meant, each time it happened, I felt a little more invisible.
The tension peaked one Tuesday in the crowded cafeteria. A boy from my class, surrounded by his friends, deliberately twisted my name into a mocking sound. “What kind of name is that ” he asked loudly. When I nervously asked him to repeat himself, the entire table burst into laughter. The heat rushed to my face, and I stared at my tray, fighting back tears. It was a small moment, but it was the last straw.
From then on, I avoided the cafeteria entirely, seeking shelter anywhere quiet. That led me to the school library, a have n of silence and order. It was there I met Anthony, the librarian, whose calm presence and gentle smile made me feel welcome without a word.
I started spending every lunch hour there, tucked into a corner table. Day after day, I watched Anthony. I saw how patiently he helped other students find books, his low, steady voice never rushing them. He’d sometimes catch my eye and give a small, understanding nod, but he never pressured me to speak. It was in that quiet consistency that a fragile sense of safety began to grow. Slowly, the idea that he might actually help me stopped my feeling so terrifying.
One afternoon, I finally gathered the courage to approach him, holding out a book about pirates I couldn’t understand.

1．续写词数应为150左右；

Dear David,
Having learned that you’re considering studying abroad, I’m writing to share my ideas and hope they can be of some reference.
First and foremost, it promotes all-round personal growth. Living overseas alone helps you develop independence and problem-solving abilities. Besides, it offers precious cultural exchange opportunities, allowing you to interact with global peers and appreciate diverse cultures. More importantly, you can gain advanced knowledge abroad, which will equip you to make greater contributions to your country in the future.
In short, studying abroad is a meaningful experience that can benefit you in many aspects. I hope my suggestions can help you make a wise decision. Best wishes!
Sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节（满分25分）
Para1: "I need help," I whispered. He didn't laugh or dismiss me. Instead, Anthony took the book, his eyes kind. “Pirates are a great place to start,” he said, his voice as steady as I'd always imagined. He opened it, not to the dense text, but to a vibrant illustration of a ship. “Ship,” he said slowly, pointing. Then, “Ocean.” He looked at me, inviting me to repeat them. The words felt strange and thick on my own tongue, but his patience made the silence feel safe, not awkward. In that first meeting, he handed me the key to a language I thought would forever lock me out.
Para2: Soon, I was participating in class.The first time I raised my hand to answer a question, my heart hammered so loudly that I barely heard my own voice. It was a simple question about the story we were reading, and I used a word Anthony had taught me—“journey.” The teacher, who was used to my silence, gave me a warm, surprised smile and said, “Excellent.” There were no puzzled looks that day, only quiet acknowledgment. It wasn't a dramatic transformation, but a beginning. I was no longer just the invisible ESL student; I was slowly becoming a part of the class.
