When Liang Wei first joined the Beijing Symphony Orchestra in 1998 as a backup violinist, no one anticipated the quiet revolution he would bring. The art school graduate, often overlooked for his plain appearance and soft-spoken manner, spent years studying every musician’s part. While others competed for solo opportunities and public recognition, Liang devoted himself to understanding the orchestra as a complete organism. Night after night, long after rehearsals ended, he could be found in the dimly lit practice room, carefully studying each instrumental part and experimenting with different conducting techniques using only a pencil as his baton.
The turning point of Liang’s career came unexpectedly during the orchestra’s 2003 European tour. Minutes before a scheduled performance of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony in Vienna’s distinguished Konzerthaus, the principal conductor fell ill with severe vertigo (眩晕). As panic spread backstage, Liang calmly stepped forward. What followed was nothing short of mysterious — his economical, almost thoughtful gestures drew from the orchestra a performance of such depth and clarity that many in the audience wept openly. The normally reserved Viennese critics credited it as “a revelation of Beethoven’s true intention,” and the twenty-minute standing applause broke the hall’s records. Yet when journalists rushed to interview this unknown substitute, Liang had already slipped away, later insisting the credit belonged entirely to the musicians.
In the years that followed, he established the “Listening First” initiative, traveling to remote provinces to teach underprivileged students his philosophy that “the most important music happens in the silence between notes.” Liang transformed an abandoned Beijing textile factory into a perfect training center, where he developed innovative techniques emphasizing collective unity over individual mastery.
Now nearing retirement, Liang remains a mystery in classical music circles. His former students, many now leading orchestras worldwide, continue to pass on his simple idea: sometimes the quietest voices create the most enduring echoes.
24. What can be inferred about Liang Wei from Paragraph 1
A. He was initially popular for his talent.
B. He wanted to be a famous soloist.
C. He valued the orchestra’s overall harmony.
D. He practiced conducting with a professional baton.
25. Why did the audience react to Liang’s performance that way
A. They were applauding out of politeness.
B. They preferred traditional performances.
C. They were disappointed by the replacement.
D. They acknowledged his artful expression.
26. What did Liang Wei do to practise his thought in Paragraph 3
A. Train in the real environment. B. Reject traditional music schools.
C. Commit himself to silent notes. D. Give up his personal control.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Liang Wei
A. Silent and creative. B. Diligent and humble.
C. Patient and generous. D. Tolerant and humorous.
C
It’s a widely-held belief that kids with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症), ADHD for short, will have a hard time finding jobs later on in life. ADHD is commonly diagnosed during childhood. It’s best known that kids with ADHD have a hard time concentrating on a single task or object for long periods of time, and that they can’t “sit still”. However, that is a pretty narrow view on the disorder.
A new study from the University of Michigan found that adults with ADHD actually have a unique advantage when doing creative tasks. White and her team worked with a group of college students, with and without ADHD, and tested them in lab challenges of creativity. Participants had to compete in an “alien fruit” invention task, where they were asked to create an example of a fruit that is different from a fruit known to exist on Earth.
Non-ADHD participants tended to model their creations after specific common fruits, such as apples or strawberries. These creations were less innovative (创新的) than those of the second group. This group of participants with ADHD created fruits that differed more from typical fruits, and were more original. They seemed like rarer fruits. Overall, the results suggest that people with ADHD rely less on previous knowledge or examples when dealing with a task.
There are many kids with ADHD in our schools and communities, and it’s up to us to make things better for them. However, nowadays ADHD is still increasingly and expensively treated with drugs. Many studies indicate that spending time in nature gives great benefits to ADHD children. We must remember that children with ADHD actually have very good attention spans — but only for tasks they find interesting. Telling them what they should do isn’t very effective, and most things we do are simply boring to them.
28. What do we know about ADHD from Paragraph 1
A. ADHD mainly exists in children.
B. Kids with ADHD can’t do tasks well.
C. People believe ADHD makes it difficult for kids to focus on something.
D. People with ADHD find it hard to get a good job.
29. What did participants do in the test
A. They made choices. B. They made presentations.
C. They answered questions. D. They were required to finish a task.
30. What evidence does the author provide to support the main finding of the study
A. ADHD participants rely more on existing examples.
B. Non ADHD participants refused to copy fruits.
C. ADHD participants showed greater originality.
D. Non ADHD participants lacked creative ideas.
31. What does the author advise us to do about people with ADHD in the last paragraph
A. Find more effective drugs for them. B. Provide more green space for them.
C. Place them under more personal care. D. Engage them in activities appealing to them.
D
Scientists have long been limited in their ability to understand the complex systems of human biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells, each communicating through chemical and electrical signals that are too rapid and complicated for researchers to track fully by traditional methods. Now, artificial intelligence is stepping in to change that, offering powerful new ways to study, diagnose, and even treat medical conditions.
AI’s greatest strength lies in its ability to process massive amounts of biological data quickly. Machine learning algorithms (算法) can identify patterns in genetic information, body scans, and patient records that would take human scientists years to notice. For example, AI systems have been trained to recognize early signs of diseases such as cancer and diabetes from medical images long before obvious symptoms appear. This early discovery greatly increases patients’ chances of successful treatment.
Another major area is the study of the human brain. Researchers are using AI to build detailed models of neural (神经的) networks, helping them understand how different parts of the brain control movement, memory, and emotion. This research not only deepens our knowledge of human biology but also leads to better treatments for brain injuries and diseases. AI-powered brain-computer interfaces, for instance, have allowed some paralyzed patients to control machines using only their thoughts.
AI is also speeding up drug development. Creating new medicines traditionally takes over a decade and costs billions of dollars, as scientists test thousands of chemical compounds. AI can perform virtual experiments and predict which materials are most likely to work safely in the human body, cutting both time and cost significantly.
However, AI cannot fully replace human researchers. Biological systems are highly complex and often unpredictable, requiring human judgment to explain AI results. Ethical concerns, such as data privacy and misuse of biological information, also remain important issues. Still, as technology improves, AI will continue to be an invaluable partner in the future of human biology.
32. What can we infer about traditional methods of studying human biology
A. They are effective in analyzing big data.
B. They fail to track cell signals completely.
C. They focus mainly on medical image analysis.
D. They have speeded up drug discovery.
33. Why are AI systems valuable in disease diagnosis
A. They can cure diseases like cancer and diabetes completely.
B. They detect potential diseases at an early stage accurately.
C. They replace doctors in analyzing medical images.
D. They control patients’ emotions and movement.
34. What can be learned about AI-powered brain-computer interfaces
A. They enable paralyzed patients to act by thinking.
B. They repair damaged neural systems in the brain.
C. They have been widely used in daily medical treatment.
D. They help record patients’ memories and emotions.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward AI in human biology
A. Critical but tolerant.
B. Doubtful and disapproving.
C. Positive but cautious.
D. Unconcerned and objective.

67. 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。
Jack looked out of the car window when he and his mom passed their old neighborhood. His fingers tapped nervously on his backpack as his mom told him the moving company had found some lost boxes from their recent move, and she could get them that afternoon.
A feeling of hope rose in Jack’ s heart. He asked quietly if Big Dog might be in the boxes. Grandpa had bought the treasured toy dog for him at the fair three years before. Though now eight years old, Jack still needed his old friend back on the shelf above his bed, which had been empty since they moved.
His mom said she wasn’t sure. Her voice trembled as she added that the photo albums were confirmed lost by the company — all those precious pictures of festive occasions, birthday celebrations, and family gatherings were gone. Jack recognized that voice, the one that she used when trying to be strong. He knew what the albums meant to her. She promised to check the boxes carefully before picking him up, giving his shoulder a comforting pat (轻拍)。
All day at school, Jack found it hard to sit still, his eyes constantly darting (瞟) to the clock. During math class, he missed Big Dog’s lovely eyes. At lunch, he recalled Grandma’s warm hug and bright smile from those lost photos. On the playground, his mind wandered back to the joy of their whole family together-laughing and running along the beach under a clear blue sky.
As the art class bell finally rang, Mr. Light announced, “Today you are free to draw anything you wish.” Jack stared at the blank paper, memories rushing back. The sad face of his mom popped up and then an idea came to him — maybe he could find a new way to save those memories.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
He knew what he could draw.

Having followed your research on robot learning companions with great interest, I’m writing to apply for participation in your project.
With strong English skills and a self-taught understanding of AI in education — reading extensively about robots assisting students — I believe I can contribute meaningfully to your research. Beyond that, as a student, I could serve as both a participant and an experimental subject, offering authentic feedback from a learner’s perspective. I’m genuinely curious about whether interacting with a robot companion might bring fresh views to my cognition.
Could you kindly share the project details and how I might get involved Thank you.

【答案】例文
He knew what he could draw. Jack grabbed his crayons with determination. First, he vividly depicted his seventh birthday: Grandma’s face beaming with a smile as he blew out the candles. Next came a sunny beach scene — his whole family laughing and running along the shore. Finally, he drew the special moment when Grandpa gave him Big Dog. He connected all these scenes into one big picture, leaving one corner empty for new memories. When the bell rang, he gently rolled up his masterpiece, eager to share it with his mom.
After school, Jack rushed to his mom, with the drawing in his hand. Breathlessly, he showed her his artwork. Her eyes welled up as she recognized each precious moment. Overwhelmed, she pulled him into a warm hug and then revealed Big Dog, which she had found in the recovered boxes. Seeing his old friend, Jack leaped with great joy, clutching it to his chest. When his mom noticed the blank corner, she suggested drawing the whole family in their new house. In that moment, they realized it was love that kept memories alive, and that together, they could always create new ones.
