It was a gray day. The cloudy sky had been there for 3 days in a row. Even when it wasn’t raining, there was
little light. It looked like all the colors of the world had paled thanks to the gray sky overhead. It looked like a
preview of the many winter days to come.
I was driving along in my car on my way home, putting on some music to lift my spirits but I still felt tired
and run down from the lack of light.
Suddenly, Joy to the World was playing and I smiled. It had always been one of my favorite songs. Since no
one was in the car with me to hear, I started to sing along in my weak and cracking (破裂) voice. Just as I started to
sing, though, a crack appeared in the clouds and a ray of sunlight broke through. It shone through the window and
landed on my face. I bathed in its light and warmth and felt such joy. Eyes welling up, I held back my tears and
continued to sing. Then as quickly as it appeared, the crack in the clouds closed and the sun was hidden again. But
its light remained in my soul. Absorbed in this little miracle, I continued to sing all the way home.
Life has its share of gray days and not just in the sky either. When these days appear, you have two choices.
You can join in the grayness or you can be the light that finds a crack in the clouds and shines through to brighten
another’s heart. For myself, I will always choose the latter.
Find that crack in the clouds then. Do your best to bring a little more light to this life. Do your best to bring a
little more joy to this world. Do your best to share the love within you.
24. How did the author feel at the beginning of the drive
A. Annoyed. B. Lonely. C. Depressed. D. Anxious.
25. What happened when the author began to sing
A. The sun broke through the clouds. B. A passenger joined in the singing.
C. The music player stopped working. D. The car window cracked suddenly.
26. What does the underlined phrase “crack in the clouds” in the last paragraph symbolize
A. Determination to let go. B. Hope during difficult times.
C. Potential in personal growth. D. Courage to accept imperfection.
27. What message does the author convey through his experience
A. Music improves our spirits. B. Life is full of ups and downs.
C. Weather affects mental health. D. Choosing light in life matters.
C
In the United States, perhaps no insect has been counted as often as the butterfly. “There’s a lot of passion for
them, and they’re very amazing,” says Collin Edwards, an ecologist at the Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife. That enthusiasm has led volunteers to spend countless hours monitoring butterfly populations over the
years.
“Thanks to their efforts, we have one of the world’s best insect databases,” Edwards adds. However, this data
came from various separate programs, each slightly different in approach. To get a single, country-wide look at the
state of these insects, Edwards and a team of more than 30 butterfly researchers brought together and analyzed all
these efforts — a total of 12. 6 million butterfly sightings. Their findings are alarming.
Since 2000, butterfly numbers in the US have dropped by an average of 22%, according to a study published
in Science. Declines have been recorded across the country and among a wide range of species. “A 1% — 2%
decrease per year may not sound severe, but over decades, it is staggering,” says biologist David Wagner from the
University of Connecticut. “The natural world is losing diversity at an unexpected rate.”
Only 3% of the 554 species examined showed growth, mainly those that adapt well to human environments.
More concerning is that the median species declined by over 40%, indicating a broad and serious trend.
Huge change of natural land, for agriculture or other kinds of development, have decreased the natural habitats
butterflies need to live in. Pesticides used in farming are directly harming many species, especially in the Midwest.
And climate change is pushing creatures out of their comfort zones.
Solving this crisis will take national or international action. While lots of policies are needed to address
climate change and control pesticides, individuals can also help. “We can’t stop climate change alone, but we can
prevent habitat loss,” says Edwards. “Planting flowers that can provide food and shelter for butterflies helps them
survive despite environmental challenges.”
28. Why do volunteers track butterfly populations
A. They hope to feed amazing butterflies.
B. They have a strong interest in the species.
C. They want to confirm some findings about the species.
D. They have seldom counted butterfly populations before.
29. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Reasonable. B. Accurate C. Interesting. D. Shocking.
30. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A. The side effects of climate change.
B. A latest trend in agricultural development.
C. Pesticides used in modern farming practices.
D. Factors driving declines in butterfly populations.
31. What does Edwards intend to say regarding saving butterflies
A. Small efforts can make a difference. B. Individuals play a minor part in it.
C. National policies are top concerns. D. Planting flowers can avoid habitat loss.
D
Educators used to worry that comics or TV might affect how students think. Today, the concern is different
and backed by surprising data. A growing body of research shows that the long-term rise in average IQ scores,
known as the Flynn effect, has not only stopped but is actually going opposite among people, especially the young
in several countries.
Intelligence is inborn, to some extent, but it also depends on our environments. Too many of our children
struggle to focus in a way previous generations did not. While the causes are complex, mobile phones and social
media are the chief ones, and many children admit as much. However, an even more fundamental shift is occurring
with the rise of AI. The threat that AI poses to intelligence is existential: it allows children to outsource(外包) their
thinking entirely. Fundamental skills like memorising text, or reading a map could soon be a thing of the past as
cognitive offloading (认知卸载) becomes a normal way of working.
As some scholars argue, the issue lies not only with technology, but with a widespread belief that exams need
to be adjusted in order to embrace AI. This mindset is leading us toward a dangerous cognitive downgrade (认知降
级). The danger here is the separation of process from “product”. In the eyes of some tech advocates, the essay is
simply a product, a sequence of words to be generated as quickly as possible. But writing is thinking. Real learning
happens through actively recalling information, organizing ideas, and shaping sentences. If students rely on AI to
generate a finished essay, they will miss the process of figuring it out, leaving them unable to question, adapt, or
truly use that knowledge.
Ultimately, learning requires friction---the struggle of not knowing, the effort of recall. Using AI to
bypass—(绕过) this struggle doesn’t create smarter students, but passive consumers of information. Therefore, our
goal must be to encourage thoughtful engagement: teaching students to use technology for deepening their own
understanding, not replacing it, so they can navigate the future (驾驭未来) with critical judgment.
32. What has the recent research revealed
A. The decline in average IQ. B. A new way to measure IQ.
C. A change in education system. D. The impact of traditional media.
33. How does AI affect children according to paragraph 2
A. Forcing them to improve focus.
B. Reducing their intellectual engagement.
C. Improving their efficiency in learning tasks.
D. Changing how they acquire fundamental skills.
34. Why does the author mention some tech advocates in paragraph 3
A. To highlight the speedy progress of AI.
B. To prove the popularity of technology in writing.
C. To criticize a view that products come first.
D. To compare modern and traditional exam systems.
35. What is suggested in the last paragraph
A. Taking on challenging tasks. B. Depending on smart learning.
C. Upgrading the technology of AI. D. Using technology as a thinking aid.

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。
Jane, a high school senior in Willowbrook, was always alone at her home because her parents were often
occupied with their work, even in the evening and she had to take on the household chores, including taking care of
their garden. Nevertheless, though she dutifully tended to the garden, it never appeared attractive due to her poor
knowledge of gardening.
One evening, Jane was left alone at home again. She sat by the window, doing her homework. When she
looked outside, through the rain-spattered window, she noticed a figure lingering(徘徊) under the streetlamp
across the street. The man, wearing a long black coat, seemed to be looking directly at her house. Jane’s heart
skipped a beat as their eyes briefly met.
Actually this wasn’t the first time that Jane had seen the man in the neighborhood. He never spoke to anyone,
and he always seemed to be alone. Jane had mentioned him to her parents, who said he was new to this town and
was a gardener. However, Jane couldn’t shake the feeling of fear.
That evening, as the man lingered across the street, Jane dialed Mrs. Baker’s number with trembling fingers.
Mrs. Baker, who lived just a few houses away, was a kind elderly woman who had always been like a grandmother
to Jane. “Mrs. Baker, there’s a man outside, and he’s been standing there for a while. I’m scared,” Jane whispered
into the phone. “I’ll be right over, dear,” Mrs. Baker tried to calm Jane down.
Moments later, Mrs. Baker arrived at. Together, they went to the window and peered (仔细看) out. The man
was still there, but he was holding something in his hands. Jane’s fear grew. “What if he’s dangerous ” Jane
murmured. Mrs. Baker patted Jane’s shoulder and said, “Let’s not jump to a conclusion so quickly.” Just then, the
man began walking toward Jane’s house. Jane’s heart pounded as he approached the front door. But instead of
knocking, he bent down and placed something on the porch (门廊). Then, he turned around and walked away.
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。
Paragraph 1: Seeing the man melting into the darkness, Jane went to open the door and found a package with a
note.

Dear Chris,
I’m writing to share with you an art class I had in a park last Friday. You cannot imagine how meaningful and
interesting it was!
We were tasked to draw something that impressed us most. Inspired by the beautiful scenery, I decided to
create a watercolor painting of the small bridge over the park’s pond, surrounded by blooming flowers.
Being surrounded by nature not only inspired my creativity, but also offered a much-needed break from the
usual busy school life. I felt a deep sense of peace as I painted. It was a moment of connection with nature that I
truly cherished.
Yours,
Li Hua

Seeing the man melting into the darkness, Jane went to open the door and found a package with a note. She sat
down on the porch steps and carefully read the note: “I watched you work hard on the garden. These are my
favorite flower seeds. They’ll thrive with your care. - Mr. Smith.” Jane’s heart swelled with warmth. She’d been so
afraid, but he’d only wanted to help. She decided to plant the seeds right away.
The next day, Jane determined to find the man and thank him for his seeds. After asking several neighbors, she
located Mr. Smith’s garden. When she arrived, he was watering roses. “Mr. Smith!” she exclaimed. “Thank you for
the seeds. I planted them last night.” He beamed. “I’m glad. Would you like to learn more about gardening ” Jane
spent the afternoon with him, absorbing every tip. Her garden soon became a riot of colors, and her friendship with
Mr. Smith was a beautiful bonus, born from an act of unexpected kindness.

you can also visit three more London’s most popular top attractions. The standard price that you have to pay when
visiting four attractions is 55. Madame Tussaud’s has a long history. It was started by a lady who worked for the
French king. She was an art teacher. Here you can see life-sized figures of the most famous people in the world,
like David Beckham, the footballer, or the Queen of England. Madame Tussaud’s is not only in London. The
second Madame Tussaud’s opened in Amsterdam in 1992, and now there are museums in Las Vegas, Hollywood,
New York. In 2008, the fourth American Madame Tussaud’s opened in Washington. After you visit, you can buy
some gifts from the museum shop, and if anybody is hungry, there is a cafe and some great eating places in Baker
Street. The museum is open seven days a week and you can see the times in the guidebook of the museum, which I
will give you in a minute.
