Jules Verne is widely regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction. His "Extraordinary Voyages" series transport readers on grand adventures to the far reaches of Earth and beyond. But Verne did more than just tell entertaining stories—he also predicted over 100 modern-day
inventions and technologies in his writings.
In the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked
world with global multimedia communications. He described the "phonotelephone" which sent
sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent.
"Mr. Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from her... Mrs. Smith immediately appeared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist with tears."
Verne's technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction. Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge
science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the "hard science fiction" of the 20th century and beyond.
Verne is often thought of as a technological optimist, a champion of scientific progress and innovation. But his writings also reveal another perspective. Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. Captain Nemo in
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine to violently attack ships. For Verne, human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction.
The spirit of adventure in Verne's timeless stories will live on, continuing to inspire generations to push the boundaries of the possible and create the world of tomorrow. That is perhaps the greatest achievement of the extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne.
4 ．How did the author illustrate Verne's writing style
A ．By listing figures.
B ．By quoting a saying.
C ．By making comparisons.
D ．By giving an example.

A ．He preferred supernatural and imaginary ideas.
B ．He paid more attention to character development.
C ．He rooted his future visions in science and research.
D ．He wrote more thrilling stories about mad scientists.
6 ．What is Verne's opinion on technology
A ．Technology itself decides whether it is good or bad.
B ．Human nature plays a key role in technology's use.
C ．Technology will certainly bring harm to human beings.
D ．Scientific progress is always the top goal of humans.
7 ．Which of the following can best describe Jules Verne
A ．Creative and realistic.
B ．Humorous and cautious.
C ．Stubborn and optimistic.
D ．Traditional and productive.
C
As restaurants increasingly embrace technology for placing food orders, a new University of South Florida (USF) study has revealed that digital ordering platforms significantly influence consumer behavior.
"While digital ordering can enhance convenience and efficiency, many consumers will
choose unhealthier food and spend more," said Dipayan Biswas, a professor of marketing at the
Muma College of Business. "Our research highlights the importance of understanding the influence of digital devices on our decision-making."
Through six studies at restaurants and two in a USF School of Marketing and Innovation lab, Biswas and his graduate students examined the effect of ordering off a digital menu vs. a
physical menu. The team reviewed more than 23,000 orders from a variety of restaurants,
including an independently owned Mexican cuisine restaurant and a major global dining chain with 1,000 locations across 23 countries.
The study revealed 61% of digital orders, including those made for delivery, were
unhealthy—more than 3% higher than non-digital orders. The team also found that digital menus have a greater impact on what consumers order for dinner, since they tend to be more exhausted and reliant on technology later in the day. Therefore, digital ordering technologies may have less influence on consumers during breakfast and lunch.
"Digital ordering modes encourage a more automatic decision-making process with lower cognitive involvement," Biswas said. "This is because digital tools encourage people to rely less
on their cognitive resources and more on automated processes." This phenomenon is known as the "Google Effect". The reduced cognitive involvement in digital contexts can result in more
automatic decision-making, leading to more unhealthy food choices.
According to Biswas, restaurant managers could use this research to tailor their offerings. "Restaurant managers aiming to promote healthier options may benefit from offering non-digital ordering modes or some may be interested in promoting unhealthy items during dinner hours
through digital ordering to drive sales," Biswas said.
8 ．Digital ordering have more influence on dinner choices because .
A ．people are less occupied during daytime
B ．dinner menus offer more unhealthy options
C ．digital delivery services are more available at night
D ．people are more tired and reliant on technology at night
9 ．What is the "Google Effect" described in the passage
A ．More spending via digital tools.
B ．Less thinking and more automatic choices.
C ．Greater popularity and fewer choices.
D ．Higher efficiency through digital ordering.
10 ．What does Biswas advise restaurant managers to do
A ．Make adjustments in their services accordingly.
B ．Offer non-digital ordering modes to customers.
C ．Remove all unhealthy items from the digital menu.
D ．Use digital ordering only during breakfast and lunch.
11 ．What is the main idea of the passage
A ．Digital menus are well-received by consumers.
B ．Digital ordering is more convenient and efficient.
C ．Digital ordering impacts consumers' food choices.
D ．Digital menus help increase sales of unhealthy foods.
D
The list of potential victims of artificial intelligence is long. It includes every business, all software engineers, privacy and humanity itself. But some of its expected effects are more popular than others. Most people can agree, for example, that AI will be doing workers a great favour if it gets rid of grunt work, the sort of repetitive tasks that take up too much of everyone's days. Filling out expense claims, copying and pasting things into spreadsheets, trying to resize one of those
stupid boxes in PowerPoint—if people were able to leave this grunt work to machines, they could devote more attention to higher-value tasks.
Yet there is a case for keeping some of this grunt work. Repetitive tasks are not just
mindless busywork. They can be a form of mental training, a way to build focus and discipline. They also provide a sense of small, regular wins that keep spirits high. Moreover, doing grunt work teaches you the nuts and bolts of a job, which make the whole system work smoothly.
Skipping these steps can lead to ignorance of how things actually function, leaving you ill-equipped to solve real problems when they arise.
Consider a young doctor who skips taking patient histories to focus on high-tech
diagnostics. They may miss hidden clues that only emerge from routine questioning. A software engineer who never debugs code by hand will struggle to understand why a program fails. A
manager who offloads all administrative work will lose the hands-on insight required for good
decisions. Grunt work is not a waste of time; it is an investment in competence.
Of course, not all grunt work is worth preserving. AI should eliminate the most
soul-crushing, mind-numbing tasks that offer no learning value. But the line between useless
busywork and valuable foundational practice is often unclear. The best approach is to use AI as a tool to reduce, not eliminate, grunt work. Let machines handle the worst of it, and keep the rest for humans to learn, grow, and stay grounded in the reality of their work.
12 ．Which is an example of grunt work
A ．Designing a new software.
B ．Decoding a program failure.
C ．Reading patient histories.
D ．Making an innovative PowerPoint.
13 ．What does the underlined phrase "nuts and bolts" mean in paragraph 2
A ．Features. B ．Fundamentals.
C ．Details. D ．Routines.
14 ．Which of the following statements might the author agree with
A ．AI should take over all grunt work in the workplace.
B ．Proper grunt work helps improve basic working abilities.
C ．Grunt work is meaningless and a waste of time and energy.
D ．AI can't really help handle repetitive daily work efficiently.
15 ．What might be the title of the passage
A ．Farewell, grunt work
B ．Hello, grunt work
C ．In place of grunt work
D ．In praise of grunt work

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How many hours should employees work The 40-hour workweek remains a standard
norm, even if many jobs go beyond the nine-to-five schedule. Actual working hours are not the
same as ideal hours, since jobs, incomes and cultural norms differ greatly, and there is no universal answer.
16
You might choose to emphasise work-life balance. A recent research paper by Duke
University asked workers in three countries what pay cut (or rise) they would accept in order to adjust their workweek. In Germany and Britain, people would be happy to sacrifice some money in return for more leisure time. 17
18 Experts believe that reducing working hours can benefit everyone if shorter hours help employers too. Studies prove that after a certain hour limit, each extra hour leads to lower output, and too long hours contribute nothing to total production.
You might consider things from the perspective of cost. Extending hours of current workers is reasonable as long as they create value. Employees carry fixed costs like benefits, so spreading these costs over longer hours is often more economical than hiring new employees with extra
expenses.
You might see long hours as a sign of a proper work ethic. 19 Many company founders keep high work intensity as their companies grow. Some business leaders even believe very long workweeks support national prosperity.
There are other ways to approach this question. You might argue that the best workweek is defined by output, not hours. You might say that this is one for policymakers, or whisper
something about AI. 20 You're also sending a signal about your own priorities.
A ．You might focus on productivity.
B ．You might cut down on the working hours.
C ．Founders initially take on most of the missions.
D ．Long hours and late nights are often necessary for startups.
E ．Americans, in contrast, would like to work longer and get more money.
F ．However, your opinion on the suitable workweek shows your management style.
G ．But however you answer, you're not just reflecting your industry and national culture.

47 ．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。
In the dusty attic (阁楼) of my childhood home, hidden in a forgotten corner, sat an old wooden box. Its surface was worn smooth with age, and the metal lock showed signs of rust (铁锈).
Drawn to it as a child, I would run my fingers over it, wondering what secrets it might hold. My grandmother always told me it was special, but she never opened it. For years, it remained a
mystery, its contents — perhaps faded photographs, delicate jewelry — left to my imagination.
Though curiosity burned, I never tried to open it, assuming that it was meant to be unlocked at the right time.
As I grew older, life pulled me away. Schoolwork, friendships, and the uncertainty of the
future consumed me. By my final year of high school, the box lay buried beneath old blankets and
boxes, forgotten.
That year was a storm of emotions. My parents often spoke about my future, their voices
filled with both hope and expectation. My mother especially wanted me to stay close to home. She spoke of family, of security, of the importance of being near the people who loved me. But I
dreamed of something different. I longed for new places, new experiences, a world beyond the
familiar streets I had known all my life. The tension built slowly, each conversation turning into a debate, each disagreement growing sharper. She didn’t understand why I wanted to leave, and I
couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t support me. The arguments grew more frequent, words spoken in frustration hanging in the air long after they were said.
One evening, after another quarrel, I fled to the attic. My hands trembling, I wiped away
tears, my gaze landing on the box. Without thinking, I opened it. Inside, letters were neatly piled up. Dozens of them lay before me, some yellowed with time, others more recent, all written in my grandmother’s familiar handwriting. My breath caught in my throat as I picked up the one on top.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。

46 ．Dear Tom,
Learning that you are seeking a culturally diverse destination, I highly recommend Nanjing, which beautifully combines literature, art, and folk traditions.
What makes Nanjing special is its rich cultural resources. You can wander along the
Qinhuai River, where many Tang and Song poets wrote timeless lines. The Confucius Temple
area once held the China Imperial Examination, reflecting ancient scholarly culture. For art, don’t miss the Yunjin Brocade Museum, which enables you to admire UNESCO-listed craft. As for folk customs, the Qinhuai Lantern Festival during Spring Festival is a visual feast, with colorful paper lanterns lighting up the night.
Spring or autumn being the ideal time, take Metro Line 3 to most sites and try some local delicacies. I promise Nanjing will inspire you.
Yours,
Dear Tom,
Delighted to know you’re visiting China, I strongly recommend Xi’an to you.
What strikes visitors most is the harmony of different cultural elements. As an ancient
capital, Xi’an mixes traditional culture and modern life perfectly. You can admire Terracotta
Army,wander around the ancient City Wall and taste local snacks to experience folk customs.
Besides, people from different ethnic groups live in harmony here, showing amazing cultural
diversity. I eagerly suggest you try local food and join cultural activities to feel its unique charm fully.
Hope you have an unforgettable trip!
Yours,
Li Hua

The letter described the day my mother left for university. My grandmother wrote about
how my mother packed her bags with excitement and a hint of fear, ready to explore the world
beyond our small town. She talked about the tears in my mother’s eyes as she said goodbye, tears of both joy and sadness. My grandmother’s words painted a vivid picture of a young woman full of dreams, just like me. She also expressed her mixed feelings of pride and loss, just as my mother was now feeling about me.
After reading the letter, I began to understand my mother. I realized that she wasn’t trying to hold me back; she was simply worried about me, just as her own mother had been worried
about her. I saw the parallel between our situations and felt a wave of guilt for not understanding her earlier. I decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with her. When I showed her the letter and
shared my thoughts, she cried and hugged me tightly. From then on, we began to communicate better, respecting each other’s dreams while also considering family bonds. The old box, which once held so many mysteries, became the key to mending our relationship.
