Maya had always loved reading. As a child, she would spend hours in the library, lost in (10) about faraway lands and brave heroes. Her grandmother, who lived with her family, often said, “Maya, books are like magic doors. They have the ability to lead you to any corner of the world.”
When Maya was twelve, her grandmother became very ill. During those difficult months, Maya would sit by her bed and read aloud to her. Her grandmother’s favorite was a book of poems about nature. Even when she was too (11) to speak, she would smile when Maya read.
After her grandmother passed away, Maya found it hard to pick up a book again. The library felt empty. The stories that once brought her joy now reminded her of what she had (12) . She stopped reading for almost a year.
One afternoon, her mother handed her an old book. “This was your grandmother’s,” she said. “She wanted you to have it.”
Maya opened the book carefully. Inside the cover, her grandmother had written a short note: “Keep reading, my dear. Every book is a new (13) , enabling us to experience different lives on this journey.”
Tears filled Maya’s eyes. That evening, she sat by the window and began to read. The words felt like a warm hug. Slowly, the joy of reading (14) to her.

“Reading helped me (15) the hardest time in my life,” she told her club members one day. “It can help you too. You just have to give it a chance.”
The club has grown quickly. Every week, they meet in the library and discuss the books they have read. Some like adventure stories, while others enjoy science fiction. Maya listens to everyone’s opinions and encourages them to (16) different kinds of books.

三、阅读理解：本大题共10小题，共20分。
A
Our school talent show was coming up, and Mia, Tom and I wanted to join, but none of us had performed alone. Mia loved singing but was too shy to perform alone. Tom played the guitar well but hated being the focus. I could dance but felt lost without a team. “Why not form a band ” Mia suggested. “We need a song that we can perform together and fits all of us.”
We searched for days and finally found Counting Stars—a song that had a nice sound that Mia could sing, simple guitar parts Tom could play, and a rhythm (节拍) I could dance to. At first, everything went wrong. Mia’s voice shook when we practiced, Tom made mistakes with the guitar, and my dance moves didn’t match the music. We almost gave up, but the song’s lyrics, which talked about chasing dreams without fear, made us try harder.
Every afternoon, we practiced in the music hall. We changed the song a little so that Mia could sing softly, Tom made the guitar parts easier, and I created dance steps that worked with their performance. What once felt messy slowly turned into a smooth (流畅) performance. It connected our strengths and covered our weaknesses.
On the talent show night, we held hands backstage. When the music started, we forgot our worries and played from our hearts. Mia sang confidently, Tom’s guitar sounded smooth, and I danced with joy. The audience (观众) cheered loudly, and even though we didn’t win first prize, we won ourselves.
That experience taught me that music is more than just something we can dance or sing to. It’s a bridge that brings people together, turning each person’s weak points into the group’s strong points. The simple song became a memory that reminds us: with teamwork and courage, we can do what we never thought possible.
18.Why did the three students want to form a band
A. Because they were not good at performing.
B. Because none of them wanted to perform alone.
C. Because they were all interested in singing songs.
D. Because they wanted to make friends with each other.
19.What did the three students do to improve their performance
A. They changed to an easier song to perform.
B. They practiced the song all day and all night.
C. They changed the song a little to fit each of them.
D. They asked a music teacher to help them practice.
20.What did the writer learn from the talent show experience
A. It’s better to perform alone than to work with a group.
B. Music is only a tool for people to sing and dance together.
C. Winning the first prize is the most important thing in a show.
D. Teamwork and courage can help people achieve the unexpected.
B
Millions of people open fitness apps each day to stay motivated (有积极性的) and reach their health goals. But a new study suggests these apps might have the opposite effect.
Researchers studied nearly 14,000 negative posts on a social platform about the five most popular fitness apps. Instead of feeling motivated, many users said they felt confused, angry, or even ashamed because of how the apps set and tracked their goals. What was meant to help people live healthier lives often left them feeling bad about themselves.
The researchers explained their findings using “self-determination theory”, which says motivation depends on three things: autonomy (feeling in control), competence (feeling able to do something), and relatedness (feeling connected to other people). Fitness apps, they found, often weaken all three.
Many apps reduce autonomy by setting automatic (自动的) goals, such as calorie (卡路里) limits or weight-loss plans, without asking what feels right for users. Some people said the apps told them to eat far too little; while others noticed that goals didn’t change for personal situations such as doing more exercise.
Problems with the apps also hurt people’s sense of competence. Users said their apps froze, lost progress, or lost their streaks after missing just one day. Seeing their hard work disappear made them feel like failures, and many stopped trying altogether.
Finally, the study found that many users felt unsupported. The apps’ reminders to post about their meals or warnings about certain foods often felt more like criticism (批评) than help.
The researchers said that fitness apps should be designed to support realistic goals. Instead of focusing on eating fewer calories and keeping perfect streaks, the apps should help people enjoy exercise, find balance and be kind to themselves.
Until that happens, the app that is supposed to motivate you might actually be the thing making you want to give up!
21.Why do fitness apps reduce users’ autonomy
A. Because the apps never set goals on their own.
B. Because the apps are too expensive to afford.
C. Because the apps focus only on exercise instead of rest.
D. Because the apps set goals without considering users’ needs.
22.What does the underlined word “streaks” mean in paragraph 5
A. Short breaks. B. Continuous records.
C. Personal efforts. D. Goals to achieve success.
23.According to the passage, how should these apps be improved
A. By adding more fun features.
B. By helping users enjoy fewer calories.
C. By offering more detailed suggestions.
D. By focusing on users’ achievable goals.
24.What is the main idea of the passage
A. Fitness apps may discourage users instead of helping them.
B. Fitness apps are the most effective way to stay fit and motivated.
C. Self-determination theory is a new method used to better use fitness apps.
D. People should stop using social platforms to share their fitness progress.
C
Have you ever chatted with a computer program that could write a creative story or explain a difficult homework problem If yes, you might have met a “chatbot”. This kind of chatbot is often powered by something called a Large Language Model, or LLM. Chatbots powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed how we interact with technology. These AI assistants seem remarkably human. However, understanding the ways they work and limitations behind them is essential for using them effectively.
An LLM acts like a super-fast reader with a huge memory. Think of it as having read almost every book and website online. It doesn’t truly think or understand like a person, but it is very good at learning patterns from words. For example, it learns that the word “rain” often comes with “umbrella.”
So how does it answer your question It builds the reply step-by-step. First, it predicts the most likely word to start with. Then, based on that word, it chooses the next best word, and then the next. It links these words together to make full sentences. You can imagine it as a much smarter version (版本) of the word suggestions you see on your phone.
LLMs can be useful tools for school. They can translate languages quickly, shorten long texts into main points, help you begin an essay (论文), or explain a difficult topic in easier words. This can save time and help you understand things better. By automating (使自动化) these tasks, they allow students to focus on deeper analysis (分析) and creative thinking.
However, it’s important to know LLMs are not perfect. They learn by finding patterns in text, so they don’t really “know” facts. Sometimes, they “hallucinate.” This means they may give answers that are wrong or completely made up. Therefore, while they are excellent for brainstorming and writing practice, double-checking their output against reliable sources remains a critical step.
Researchers are always trying to make LLMs better, safer, and more accurate (准确的). The hope is that they will become helpful digital assistants to support learning and creativity in the future.
25.According to the text, how does an LLM build a reply
A. By predicting the most likely words to build sentences.
B. By searching for the answer in a specific book.
C. By thinking and understanding like a person.
D. By choosing the word suggestions from a phone.
26.According to the text, what can LLMs help students do for their schoolwork
A. LLMs conduct deep analysis and creative thinking automatically.
B. LLMs translate languages and explain difficult topics in simple words.
C. LLMs read every book online to find the only correct answer.
D. LLMs fix all the mistakes in an essay without any help.
27.What is the main purpose of this passage
A. To warn people never to use LLMs for any school tasks.
B. To show us LLMs are safe and helpful digital assistants.
C. To explain how LLMs can replace human learning and creativity.
D. To inform what LLMs are and show both their uses and weaknesses.

28.A popular saying goes, “One person’s junk is another person’s treasure.” There certainly is some truth in it. Rather than using paint, ink or other traditional materials, many artists are turning to discarded (废弃的) materials for creating their artwork.
It’s a well-known fact that artists have been using discarded resources for a long time. One of the reasons for this is that traditional art resources such as paint, clay and metal can be extremely expensive. Another reason is that some artists want to bring attention to the fact that people throw away a lot of perfectly useful items.
Artists may seem avant-garde (前卫的) by using garbage as the material for their artwork. For example, most people wouldn’t think that a plastic bag would have an artistic purpose. However, some artists have shown photos of breathtaking landscapes and ocean surfaces created using only plastic bags. And something called “auto-destructive art” is another example. The idea began to exist during the 1960s. This means that an object doesn’t start out as art. It becomes beautiful as it breaks or becomes old and worn. If you have seen broken glass, you can understand this idea better.
Some artists just want to create something that will make people think about important problems. One popular theme in art is the importance of reducing environmental waste. A few years ago, a large work of art called World of Litter received international attention. The artist, Peter Singer, created a huge globe that floated on water. It was bigger than some of the local boats! Singer created it by collecting hundreds of bottles and other forms of plastic waste.
The discarded materials make beautiful artwork. Besides, they provide hope for the future by bringing about environmental awareness.
(1) What are many artists turning to for creating artwork rather than using paint, ink or other traditional materials _______________________________________________________
(2) When did the idea “auto-destructive art” begin to exist _______________________________________________________
(3) How did Peter Singer create his artwork called World of Litter _______________________________________________________
(4) Would you like to create artwork by using discarded materials Why (List at least two reasons.)_______________________________________________________
