animal shelters.

M: Every summer, my city, Perth, holds a wonderful Fireworks Festival that draws people from all over the area. It
usually takes place on a weekend evening at the riverside park. As the sun sets around 6:00, the park fills with
excitement. Families spread out blankets, kids laugh while holding glow sticks, and food stalls sell tasty snacks like
popcorn and ice cream. Around 8:00 pm, the first firework shoots up into the sky. The firework will end around
10:00 pm. Actually, what I love most is the joy on everyone’s faces. Friends cheer, parents take photos, and even
strangers share smiles. The festival isn’t just about fireworks; it’s a time for the community to come together. It
reminds us of the beauty of our city and the happiness of sharing good moments with others.

One possible version:
Dear Jenny,
I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been struggling to balance your club activities with schoolwork. I understand how
overwhelming it can feel when you want to give your best to both.
Here are a few suggestions that might help. First, try creating a weekly schedule to block out specific times for
study and club commitments. More importantly, remember it’s necessary to sometimes take a step back if you feel
too stretched. Also, don’t hesitate to talk to your club leader or teachers, who can often offer flexibility or advice.
I’m sure you’ll find your rhythm soon. Keep me updated!
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
Determined to keep his promise, Jeffery began his new duty the next morning. He placed Richard carefully in
his coat pocket and ventured into the snowy backyard. At first, he simply walked in slow circles, whispering to
Richard about the cold air and the shapes of clouds. Emboldened by his mission, he found his sled and decided to
take Richard to explore the small hill. He took a deep breath and pushed himself down the small hill behind his
house. The wind rushed past, but instead of panic, a shaky laugh bubbled up inside him.
From that day on, Jeffery made it a daily routine to go sledding with Richard. The small hill soon felt too
familiar. One afternoon, with Richard secured in his pocket, Jeffery found himself standing at the foot of the big
hill. The neighborhood kids were there sledding, too. After a moment’s hesitation, Jeffery placed his sled on the
track they had made. As he pushed off, the familiar rush came, but it was mixed with excitement. At the bottom,
one of the kids called out, “You made it! Let’s go sledding together.” Jeffery nodded, patting his pocket where
Richard sat.英语 (一)

There was a time when the term “camping” was equal to journeying into the wilderness and staying away from
the city. Now, on weekend afternoons, it’s common to see people resting in camping chairs or in tents in urban
parks.
Without the need for long trips or heavy equipment, urban camping is redefining how urban residents engage
with nature — right in urban green spaces. There, the charm of the wild and the convenience of the city are no
longer an either-or choice, but a harmonious balance that defines a new urban lifestyle.
“When I bought this expensive but durable equipment about 10 years ago, my parents said I was crazy because
we could never spare so many weekends to drive out of the city for camping,” 25-year-old Beijing resident Chen
Linjun told Beijing Review. “Now we enjoy about two to three camping nights every month in Nanyuan Forest
Wetland Park in Beijing’s Fengtai District, which is only a 15-minute drive from our place and home to vast
grasslands.”
“As an enthusiastic camper, I can confirm that a decade ago, people didn’t camp out in urban parks — there
weren’t so many parks back then, either,” said Chen. “At that time, we Beijing campers would drive long hours to
places in Hebei Province or Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, where conditions were better for camping. Now,
you see people camping everywhere in Beijing’s parks. What used to be a niche (小众的) hobby has now become a
popular pastime.”
Chen’s observation is supported by the growth of the camping economy and strategic adjustments within the
camping and outdoor industries. The core market consists of traditional, experienced or regular camping
enthusiasts, who provide a stable foundation of revenue and profit for the camping industry.
24. What is a feature of urban camping
A. It is always linked with long trips.
B. It requires expensive heavy equipment.
C. It allows residents to stay away from the city.
D. It combines wild charm with urban convenience.
25. What was Chen’s parents’ attitude to his purchasing camping equipment
A. Tolerant. B. Supportive. C. Critical. D. Unclear.
26. What did Beijing campers tend to do a decade ago
A. Spend little money on camping.
B. Spare no efforts to find urban parks.
C. Camp everywhere in Beijing’s parks.
D. Choose camping places out of Beijing.
27. From which is the text most probably taken
A. A travel guide. B. A news report.
C. A geography textbook. D. A blog on traditional culture.
C
Nowadays, increasingly large numbers of users go to AI models for personal advice and connections. These
personal uses take advantage of the illusion (错觉) that the models can actually care about people.
AI may care about you by being constantly available and responsive. But serious care by parents, good friends,
responsible health professionals, and people in general has a strong emotional component. Care is not just a belief,
but also a feeling that you have about people, ranging from concern for a friend’s health to the intense love for a
romantic partner or family member. But AI just pretends to have such feelings.
AI models seem to understand emotions because they have been trained on billions of sources that include
psychology textbooks, journal articles, and novels about human emotions. They can recognize situations such as
becoming a parent and falling in love romantically, and they can appraise these situations as satisfying people’s
goals and thereby making them happy. But they cannot capture the physiological dimensions of emotion because
they completely lack the relevant physiological changes.
Without the crucially relevant physiology, AI models can only fake (伪造 ) emotions such as caring about
people. They may seem empathic by saying “I know how you feel”, but such empathy is fake because they have no
experience of emotions. Such sentences can mislead people into thinking they have found a new friend and that
they don’t have to pursue the more complex and variable social relationships with people who actually care about
them. The social cost of the illusion of AI care runs much deeper when people go for the easy agreement and
support of AI models.
I agree with AI researchers Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio that the new technology is both powerful and
dangerous, and therefore requires strict government regulation (监管 ). I hope that such regulation will include
limits on the ability of AI models to pretend to care about people and thereby lead them to interactions that they
mistake for friendship, love, and compassion.
28. What does the author say about AI
A. It doesn’t respond constantly.
B. It lacks a feeling about people.
C. It isn’t as available as humans.
D. It is unwilling to show empathy.
29. What does the underlined word “appraise” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Mistake. B. Reject. C. Evaluate. D. Adjust.
30. What is a result of relying on AI for emotional connection
A. It will make people more empathic. B. It causes people to fake emotions.
C. It may harm real human relationships. D. It eliminates people’s financial pressure.
31. Why does the author mention two AI researchers in the last paragraph
A. To call for regulation on AI models.
B. To advocate for a ban on future AI.
C. To suggest improving AI performance.
D. To prove the unique power of AI care.

New research from the University of Southampton and the University of East Anglia (UEA) points to a major
change in South Pacific climate conditions that began around 1,000 years ago. The study suggests this shift may
have influenced where people chose to live, encouraging movement toward islands farther east as parts of the
western region grew increasingly dry.
“The Pacific Islands today are under threat from a changing climate, but this is not the first time that the
inhabitants of the region have had to adapt to a changing climate,” says Professor David Sear. “Our research
suggests that beginning around 1,000 years ago, people in the region were effectively chasing (追逐 ) the rain
eastwards to adapt to the stress placed on growing populations by a period of drier conditions in the western South
Pacific.”
To uncover how conditions changed, the research team collected sediment (沉积物) cores from Western and
Eastern Polynesia. These sediments contain plant waxes (蜡) — fatty layers left on leaves that preserve chemical
clues about past climate. Detailed laboratory analysis of the waxes allowed scientists to determine whether
conditions were wetter or drier when the plants were growing. The new data were combined with existing records
from other locations across Polynesia and the wider Pacific. Using this comprehensive dataset, the team
reconstructed changes in Pacific rainfall over the past 1,500 years.
Evidence indicates long-settled islands in Western Polynesia experienced gradual losses of rainfall.
Meanwhile, more distant islands in Eastern Polynesia became wetter over time, potentially making them more
appealing for settlement. Dr. Mark Peaple of the University of Southampton says, “Water is vital for drinking and
agriculture. If this vital natural resource was running low, it’s logical that over time the population would follow it
and settle down in areas with more reliable water security — even if this meant adventurous journeys across the
ocean.”
Co-Principal Investigator Professor Manoj Joshi, also from UEA, says, “By better understanding how the
climate of the South Pacific was affected by climate change in the past, we can build better predictions for how
future climate change will affect the region.”
32. What do David Sear’s words suggest about ancient islanders
A. Climate change forced them to migrate.
B. They struggled in the eastern South Pacific.
C. The wetter conditions put pressure on them.
D. They faced the issue of declining populations.
33. How did the research team determine the historical climate conditions
A. By breaking down current green plants. B. By analyzing plant waxes in sediments.
C. By studying ancient tools and artworks. D. By examining islanders’ written records.
34. Why did ancient islanders move to wetter Eastern Polynesia
A. Water was essential for their survival.
B. There was less competition from animals.
C. The journeys across the ocean were smooth.
D. They didn’t have to live on agriculture there.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Ancient Islanders Traveled a Lot B. Predicting Global Climate Change
C. Chasing the Rain Across the Pacific D. The Pacific Is Losing Its Appeal

As the days go by, it’s easy for memorable moments to slip away if you don’t take the time to document them.
Fortunately, you can ensure your most precious memories are preserved forever through scrapbooking (剪贴簿).
36 If so, read the following quick beginner’s guide.
Start with a theme
37 . Do you want to make a memory book of your grandson’s first birthday or a special vacation abroad
There are no wrong answers. Once you select the theme of your scrapbook, break down your idea into the little
stories that you want to tell.
Choose your photos
You may have a smartphone packed with hundreds of photos, computer files overflowing with digital images,
and maybe even boxes with hard copies of photos sitting on your bookshelves at home. 38 When it comes to
stand-out photos, there are usually two kinds: photos that are “pretty” and photos that evoke (唤起) your memories
and emotions.
39
If you are using digital images, now is the time to crop and size them the way you want them to appear in the
final production before printing them. If you are using hard copies of photos, make pencil markings on the back of
the pictures to help you cut them to size.
Bring the page to life with text
A picture is worth a hundred words. But words are also important when it comes to telling your stories and
documenting your memories. 40 . In addition, a key scrapbooking element is journaling, which includes dates,
stories, memories, quotes, or even song lyrics.
A. Cut or crop the pictures
B. Print out your digital images
C. A creative or descriptive title supports your theme
D. Decide what you expect the focus of your scrapbook to be
E. Are you curious about how to get started with scrapbooking
F. You can also make your page more general, with less of a theme
G. How do you decide which of your pictures will make it in the book

More than 40 years ago, Chinese as a subject was far 56 (common) in the United Kingdom. In 1985, there
were only about 25 students 57 chose to study Chinese across the entire country.
Over the years, Mandarin (普通话) learning has gained popularity in the UK. A report noted that Mandarin is
one of the few languages to have 58 (significant) increased in teaching resources during the past decade. Entries
for the General Certificate of Secondary Education in Mandarin rose 59 3,000 in the 2012-13 academic year
to more than 7,800 in 2023-24.
Among many 60 (initiative) that have fueled the takeoff of Mandarin education across the UK, the Mandari
n Excellence Program (MEP) remains one of the most influential. The program requires participating students to ad
apt to the intensive nature of the project, with 61 average of eight hours of work per week consisting of in-classr
oom lessons, after-school teaching, self-study and more. It has far exceeded its initial target of 62 (see) at least
5,000 students in England on track toward 63 (fluent) in Mandarin by 2020, with the number surpassing 16,000
in 2025, more than the less-than 400 participants in 14 schools taking part when it 64 (launch) in 2016.
The MEP has continued to grow. After the first phase 65 (fund) through the initial investment, the program
received an additional minimum of four years of funding that has since been extended through August 2026.

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。
Jeffery always kept to himself during the holiday season. His birthday was the day after Christmas and his
mother and father helped him blow out the six candles on the cake.
Other than his group violin lesson with two other children, Jeffery didn’t spend much time with others. The
neighborhood kids tried to include him, especially inviting him to go sledding (滑雪橇) on the big hill. But the
thought of speed terrified Jeffery, and he always made an excuse or simply hid indoors. Soon, the other children
stopped asking. Actually, Jeffery’s shiny red sled, a gift from last winter, sat untouched in the garage, a constant
reminder of his fear.
The next evening after Jeffery’s birthday, his parents went out for a party, leaving him in the care of Aunt
Penelope, who had recently moved in. Jeffery went into the living room and sat across from Aunt Penelope, who
was sitting by the fireplace. Jeffery chose to read his book about weather patterns and found that there was really
nothing more interesting than the weather.
Aunt Penelope approached him, handed him a small box and said, “It’s for you. A late birthday gift.” Jeffery
quickly opened it. Inside the box was a small carving of a giraffe. Jeffery exclaimed, “It’s a beautiful gift! Thank
you very much, Aunt Penelope. I wish I could give you something in return.”
Aunt Penelope coughed, “The best gift that you can give me is that you’ll take care of that giraffe and exercise
him properly. I’m too old for such tasks these days, but it’s very important to exercise a giraffe, especially one who
is as spirited and intelligent as Richard.”
