1. M: Hey, Lily, Ne Zha 2 is on at Star Cinema. How about watching it
W: Sure, I love Ne Zha, but what time exactly
M: It starts at seven thirty p. m. We can meet half an hour earlier at the entrance of the cinema.
W: Okay, I’ll leave home at six thirty p. m. See you then.
2. W: Are you going to the book fair tomorrow
M: I won’t miss it for the world. My favorite writer is going to recommend a new book then.
W: But I think your history project needs to be finished tomorrow.
M: Well, there’s no rush.
3. C M: Hello, Miss Carter. Thanks for meeting me here at the apartment.
W: Oh, I’m excited to take a closer look.
M: This is one of our most popular listings. It is well-maintained by the current owners, so you shouldn’t have to
worry about major repairs anytime soon.
4. W: The subway is so crowded during the rush hour. I wish I could bike to work.
M: It’s much healthier, but with this rain every day, it’s not practical.
5. W: Hi, I just watched a movie here. But when I got to my car, I realized I didn’t have my keys.
M: Do you think they fell off during the movie Have you been somewhere else, ma’ am
W: I also bought some candy. But can I check Screening Room C first
6~7
W: Have you considered using Deep Seek for your course paper I’ve heard it is no longer against school rules, as
long as you clearly mention using it.
M: To be honest, I’ve considered it. It seems helpful since it can cut down on the hours spent searching for sources.
But I dropped the idea in the end.
W: Why Its paid version is not that expensive.
M: Actually, I can’t fully trust the information generated by AI. It takes me much more time to cross-check its
reliability.
W: I see your point. Deep Seek increases the efficiency in some ways, but we should cross-check its results with
other sources. If we use false materials, our academic credits will be affected.
M: Exactly! We really need to balance efficiency with accuracy.
W: Plus, we need to improve ourselves during the process. That’s what matters most in learning.
8~10
W: Our ongoing study at Silver Lake shows a 40% drop in water level over the past five years. This isn’t just a
natural dry cycle; rainfall has been near average.
M: What’s causing it then
W: Satellite data points to a massive increase in groundwater pumping for the surrounding farms. The lake is fed by
underground springs, which are now being diminished.
M: And the impact on the ecosystem
W: Severe. The shrinking shoreline is destroying reed beds where migratory birds nest. With fewer nesting sites,
we’re seeing increased competition and predation. The immediate threat is habitat loss.
M: So, banning new wells might help
W: It’s a start, but the existing extraction is the problem. We need a regional water management plan that balances
agricultural needs with ecological preservation. Technology alone, like a new reservoir, just moves the problem.
We have to reduce consumption at the source.
11~13
W: Tonight, we have a very special guest, Mr. Jason, the 2025 National Herbal Research Award winner. Welcome
to the show, Jason.
M: Thank you, Zoe.
W: It’s fantastic to have you here. So what first got you into researching herbs
M: Actually, I had a college professor who showed me studying herbs isn’t just about leaves and roots. It’s about
promoting human health.
W: I see. What do you think makes herbs such a powerful tool for modern medicine
M: Herbs help scientists explore natural treatments. But more importantly, it connects with traditional wisdom.
W: That’s beautifully said. So how do you keep students engaged
M: By reminding them that technology is just a tool. The natural balance is irreplaceable. My students do various
experiments with herbs, but I recommend that they should learn herbal functions first.
W: You are so sensible! Thank you for sharing.
14~17
W: So, Mike, what is the Slow Food Movement
M: Well, it’s a reaction to fast food and fast modern lifestyles. The Movement was started by an Italian called Carlo
Petrini. He organized it because a McDonald’s had opened near the Spanish Steps in Rome. He felt it was the ruin
of many valuable traditional things and he tried to promote healthier ways of eating and living.
W: So, Slow Food just means healthier food, does it
M: Not exactly. I think it’s more about our lifestyles. We’re always in such a hurry. We don’t have enough time to
enjoy our lives.
W: Fast Food companies advertise their food is healthy. How would you answer that
M: It may be right in a way, but for me, the problem is that wherever you sit down for a meal, whether in France or
China, what you’re given is too similar. It makes eating and life boring. Traditional food isn’t going to be lost
completely, but we do want as many people as possible to enjoy it.
W: So, let’s see if I’ve understood you. The Movement’s main object is to improve the way we live, isn’t it
M: Exactly that. It’s not just about food. It’s about how we live and finding time to enjoy our lives.
18~20
Forty years ago a timeless snowman was created, not from snow but in drawings by author and illustrator
Raymond Briggs. The Snowman, a wordless book, was a hit when it was released in 1978. Its popularity increased
when it was adapted into a Christmas TV special in 1982. (18) Now the Snowman is being created, but this time
from people’s memories or, more specifically, photos of their memories of The Snowman over the past 40 years.
A new piece of art, called My Snowman, is on display at Brighton Museum. The huge picture is made up of
2,626 photos and shows the character flying through the air. Some of the photos show fans making their own snow
sculptures and others are of people watching the animation. (19)
As well as the giant picture, there are nine new works by leading children’s illustrators, showing scenes from
The Snowman in their own style. Quentin Blake, who is best known as the illustrator for Roald Dahl’s books,
decided his version of the Snowman would have a much longer scarf because he felt the original was too small. (20)
Chris Riddell, one of the UK’s most popular authors and illustrators, drew himself hugging the Snowman to show
how much he appreciated the help that Briggs gave Riddell when he was starting his career. Helen Marshall,
founder of The People’s Picture, a company that helps create art from photos which was behind the project, added,
“The pictures as a whole reveal the full range of human emotion expressing love, loss and celebration.”

A Remarkable Second-hand Item Exchange
Last Friday witnessed an educational and vibrant activity titled “A Remarkable Second-hand Item Exchange”,
which turned out to be a great success and was well received by all students and teachers.
What I brought for exchange was a collection of English novels, which my dad sent as my 10th birthday gift.
Particularly themed on English classics such as Little Women, Wuthering Heights and Gone with Wind, this
collection had guided me to explore the mysterious world of English literature. In return, I received an electronic
watch with eye-catching bright red. It was still in perfect condition, featuring the amazing reliability and accuracy
of timekeeping. In a word, both of us were exhilarated for obtaining a desirable “treasure”.
Through this activity, not only did we rediscover the value of second-hand items, but it also brought joy and
satisfaction to participants.

参考范文(一)
Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. When I asked if I could bring balloons inside,
Daniel nodded, “It’s been a while since something cheerful came through the door.” Hearing this, I jogged to the
car, gathered the strings from the backseat and the balloons were immediately freed, floating gloriously in the air.
One by one, I handed them out to the residents inside, whose faces softened and even brightened up as the colors
reached them. I could hear it, this sudden rustle of joy. It was then that I knew the retirement home, a place that had
been asleep for long, was waking into life. Stepping out, I found Daniel still sitting there. “They’ll remember this,”
he said. “I know I will. For the first time that summer, I didn’t feel so far from home.”
Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. Sometimes with balloons, sometimes with drawings my
students made, our visits always began in the shade outside. Daniel always shared his stories from a past I’d never
experienced but somehow understood. Though he never said so, I could tell he waited for me. I did too for his voice,
low and soft, was so much like Dad’s. When I told him I still missed home and still missed Dad, he would sit
smiling, saying nothing. I was grateful for the silence we shared when words weren’t needed. Through these visits,
the city felt less foreign, but more like home. When I made it back home some day, I would tell Dad how a man
brought him back to me, and how a handful of balloons, unexpectedly, lit up everything.
参考范文(二)
Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. Glancing at the retirement home’s windows, I
saw curious faces peering through the glass. Without hesitation, I gathered the remaining balloons, greeted these
wrinkled faces and handed each with a balloon. The lobby, once deadly silent, erupted with soft gasps, their
weathered hands brushing the balloons and their wrinkled faces blossoming with a radiant smile and sweet
memories. By the time the last balloon floated above a wheelchair, the air hummed with whispered gratitude. When
I waved goodbye to Daniel and other residents and was on my way driving home, my loneliness dissolved, replaced
by the warmth of their cordial welcome to be back again, my heart overflowing with a feeling of satisfaction.
Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. Each time I visited Daniel, coming into my first sight was the
balloon that Daniel had tied to his chair like a banner of welcome. We sketched distant memories and swapped tales
of each other’s family, both feeling immersed in the magic of sharing. “You’ve painted our days brighter,” Daniel
once admitted, eyes glistening. When Christmas came, I even brought some of my students to sing carols. The halls
echoed with laughter, which proved unforgettable to residents and educational to students. Seeing these glowing
faces, I realized balloons weren’t just for children; they were lifelines, stitching hearts across this forgotten corner
and meanwhile bonding me with father-like Daniel, who helped me generate a strong sense of attachment in this
once foreign city.

Double victory! On March 28 and 29, a motorcycle made by ZXMOTO, a Chinese motorcycle brand, won
both races at the Portuguese round of the Superbike World Championship (WSBK), a global motorcycle
competition.
The triumph marks the first time a Chinese motorcycle brand has won this event. It has broken the
decades-long dominance of major foreign motorcycle brands such as Italy’s Ducati, Germany’s BMW, and Japan’s
“Big Four”.
In the WSBK, motorcycles are modified (改装 ) from mass-produced street bikes, so it is not only a speed
competition but also a stage to show companies’ production ability.
The winning motorcycle, launched by ZXMOTO this year, has a self-developed engine that allows it to
accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in only 2.8 seconds. Its electronic control system and frame are also independently
developed.
Zhang Xue,39, founder of ZXMOTO, has witnessed China’s motorcycle industry growth. He has worked as a
mechanic, a rider, and an engineer. In 2013, he began building motorcycles in Chongqing, and founded ZXMOTO
in 2024, focusing on independent engine R&D.
ZXMOTO’s victory not only realizes Zhang’s dream but also shows the progress of Chinese motorcycle
manufacturing, boosting the industry’s confidence and changing the international community’s view on China’s
motorcycle sector.
24. What can we learn about ZXMOTO’s victory in the Portuguese round of WSBK
A. A Chinese motorcycle brand has never won such a competition before.
B. It merely shows ZXMOTO’s excellent speed performance of its motorcycles.
C. It broke the 20-year-long dominance of foreign motorcycle brands.
D. The winning motorcycle totally adopted imported engines and core parts.
25. Which of the following is true about Zhang Xue according to the passage
A. He began to build motorcycles in Chongqing right after he founded ZXMOTO in 2024.
B. He has rich practical experience related to motorcycles.
C. His main goal of founding ZXMOTO is to introduce foreign high-quality engine technologies.
D. He didn’t witness the development of China’s motorcycle manufacturing industry until 2024.
26. Which of the following is a key feature of ZXMOTO’s winning motorcycle
A. It increases its speed from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds.
B. Its engine was imported from a leading Japanese brand.
C. Its frame is designed with technology from Italy’s Ducati.
D. Its electronic control system is one of the best systems in China.
27. What is the main idea of the passage
A. China has built a comprehensive industry system for motorcycle manufacturing.
B. Zhang Xue’s personal experience of developing ZXMOTO into a famous brand.
C. ZXMOTO’s victory reflects the progress and strength of China’s motorcycle manufacturing.
D. The difficulties Chinese motorcycle brands faced in developing high-performance engines before.
C
Over the past few weeks, many people in China have started raising “lobster” — and no, not the
mouthwatering seafood. Chinese users have adopted this phrase to describe the process of setting up and training an
AI agent called OpenClaw, which uses a red lobster as its logo.
For some years, we have had generative AI models like ChatGPT. While they are
useful, they passively wait for prompts (提示词) to respond. Also, they can tell users what to do, but cannot
perform the task for them.
OpenClaw, developed by Austrian software engineer and entrepreneur Peter Steinberger, promises to be “the
AI that actually does things”, according to its website. It sends emails, manages calendars, books flights, controls
smart home devices and more.
What truly sets OpenClaw apart is its long-term “memory”. As reported by Computer Network, the AI keeps
data even after being closed, enabling it to “remember” past conversations. Over time, it learns your preferences,
tracks your projects and sends you proactive (积极主动的) notifications.
Such proactiveness is supported by “heartbeat”, a built-in timer that is used regularly. As Claire Vo, chief
technology officer of US startup LaunchDarkly, explained on social media platform X, OpenClaw’s “heartbeat”
occurs every 30 minutes and can be adjusted by the user. With each tick, the AI wakes up to check for tasks that are
ready to run. This enables the AI to continue working without user interaction.
However, OpenClaw’s abilities come with serious risks. In February, researchers found over 40,000 instances
of OpenClaw online, with more than 60 percent having problems that could allow hackers to gain control, reported
CGTN. On March 8 and 10, the Chinese government issued two official alerts — the first-ever warnings
specifically about an agentic AI.
The risks are made worse by Moltbook, a social network launched in January, where the AI agents share posts
with each other, and humans can only observe, reported Forbes. “Although it gained attention for showcasing
AI-to-AI interactions, early findings revealed that it exposed entire databases,” Dr Shaanan Cohney from Australia’
s University of Melbourne told Forbes.
28. What can we learn about generative AI models like ChatGPT from the passage
A. They can do tasks actively without prompts.
B. They have long-term memory like OpenClaw.
C. They wait for prompts to react inactively.
D. They can control smart home devices automatically.
29. What makes OpenClaw different from other AI
A. It needs a browser tab open all the time.
B. It has long-term memory and can work proactively.
C. It only provides information but does nothing.
D. It was developed by a Chinese engineer.
30. What is the function of OpenClaw’s “heartbeat”
A. It helps the AI remember users’ preferences forever.
B. It allows AI agents to share posts with each other.
C. It protects users from hackers and security risks.
D. It enables the AI to wake up for tasks check every half an hour.
31. Why did Chinese government issue official alerts about OpenClaw

How does a cow scratch an itch on its back An Austrian cow named Veronika has a solution that could
change how we view livestock. For the past decade, Veronika has been observed by her owner occasionally picking
up sticks with her mouth, maneuvering the ends to reach areas of her body she can’t otherwise reach.
Veronika’s innovative behavior is reported in a new study-the first to describe tool use in a pet cow, according
to the researchers. It was published Monday in the journal Current Biology. “What this tells us is that cows have
the potential to innovate tool use, and we have ignored this fact for thousands of years,” lead author Antonio J.
Osuna-Mascaró said in an email.
When the study authors first saw the video of Veronika using a stick to scratch. herself, it was clear that the
behavior was intentional and not accidental. To test her tool-use capabilities, the researchers performed a series of
controlled trials in which. they placed a deck brush in front of the cow in various orientations.
The researchers found that not only was Veronika displaying true tool use -when a tool serves a functional
purpose and allows the subject to extend its own bodily limits-but she had a clear preference for how the tool was
used. She would readjust her g rip depending on what side of the brush she wanted, what part of her body she was
targeting.
This is extremely surprising because the only other solid example of multipurpose tool use that we know of
belongs to the chimpanzees of the Congo; Basin, Osuna-Mascaró said. While chimpanzees have the advantages of
hands and opposable thumbs, Veronika still surprised the researchers with the control she had with her mouth.
Cows and other highly intelligent and emotional animals are far too often written off as being dumb and
lacking emotions. Detailed research shows they are fully sentient (有感觉能力的) beings with very active brains
and rich and deep emotional lives.
The researchers don’t believe that Veronika is the “Einstein of cows”. It is likely that there are many other
cows, bulls and farm animals with this ability that have gone unnoticed. “We know more about the tool use of wild
animals on remote islands than we do about the cows we live with,” Osuna-Mascaró said.
32. What does the underlined word maneuvering probably mean
A. throwing B. breaking C. moving skillfully D. hiding
33. According to the researchers, why is Veronika’s behavior considered “true tool use”
A. Because she uses the tool to get food.
B. Because the tool performs a useful function and go beyond its physical abilities
C. Because she was trained by her owner to do so.
D. Because she uses the tool in the same way chimpanzees use tools with their hands.
34. What can be inferred from the study about cows
A. They are less intelligent than most exotic animals.
B. They have been underestimated in terms of intelligence.
C. They can use tools with their feet.
D. They are the only farm animals capable of tool use.
35. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Veronika is the most intelligent cow ever discovered.
B. The researchers believe Veronika is exceptionally rare among cows.
C. Humans know less about common farm animals.
D. Only cows and bulls, not other farm animals, may have tool-use ability.

How to Build Better Discipline and Self-Control
Most of us can gain a lot from improving our discipline and self -control. These abilities help us refuse
temptations, stick to tough or boring tasks, and finally reach our life goals. The good news is that building
discipline and self - control is not that hard. 36
Build a daily routine
37 When things become part of your daily routine, you’ll do them naturally without overthinking.
A study on high school students’ self-control, habits and goals found that students with strong self - control
usually stuck to regular routines, and those with consistent routines were more likely to achieve their goals like
better grades, enough sleep and regular exercise.
38
It takes self - discipline to build a new routine, so don ‘t push yourself too hard at first. Just pick a tiny thing to
start with, such as 10 minutes of daily exercise, or turning off your phone 30 minutes before bedtime every night.
These small routines will bring you a sense of achievement. Gradually, you can combine these small habits
into bigger routines and chase larger goals.
Stay responsible for your actions
Find a friend with similar goals and share your progress with each other. 39 If you can’t find such a
friend, keeping a journal is also a good choice. Write down your goals and your little achievements to track your
progress.
Be gentle with yourself
Building self - discipline is a long process. 40 Everyone makes mistakes, and the key is to pick
yourself up and start again.
A. If you fail to follow your routine one day, push yourself and get back on track the next day.
B. Pursuing perfect performance right away will only make you feel tired and stressed, and lower your ability to
make right choices.
C. You can make it with several easy and practical steps.
D. Creating a regular routine with good habits is a perfect way to avoid distractions and impulsive decisions.
E. Start with tiny steps.
F. Form good habits.
G. This will motivate you to keep going on your self-discipline journey.

Molly didn’t want to go that way. The bushes were thick, the slope steep, and a waterfall 41 loudly
nearby. But her owner gently coaxed (哄劝,劝诱) her to keep going in the New Zealand rainforest. 42 ,
with a cracking of branches, the hand was gone.
Ms. Johnston slipped off a cliff and fell about 180 feet into the waterfall. She floated downstream, 43
out of the water and then pressed the button on her locator. Hurt but alive, she was airlifted to 44 , but Molly
was nowhere to be seen. “If it were anywhere else, people would have just gone out 45 ,” Ms. Newton, 28,
said. “But because of where she was, it was going to be a multiday hike into some of the most 46 terrain in
the world.”
But a search flight costs about $1,370. The small family business could not keep 47 the costs. She
then turned to Facebook to ask for help. 48 joined: a thermal expert and a man with his dog Bingo, 49
that a frightened dog might respond more readily to another dog than to a human.
Rain kept them 50 for several days. Finally, Newton took off in an Airbus H120 while Ms. Newton
coordinated from the base. The cool morning was 51 for thermal scanning, giving a sharper setting for
spotting a 52 body. When a shape appeared on the screen, we were all crying. Back at the base, Ms.
Johnston, who arrived later, got out of her car and had to sit down because of the 53 of emotions. “I just
couldn’t believe it,” she said. A vet later found that Molly was 54 and healthy.
It was 160 kind strangers who worked together to 55 Molly, a black-and-white collie, back to Jessica
Johnston. “It was beautiful to see,” Ms. Newton added. “It all paid off.”

Exercise strongly improves well-being regardless of gender and age. This is because it produces positive
effects on people’s emotional balance as well as 56 (invest) them with a greater sense of strength.
For people who rarely exercised before, 12 weeks of consistent training — 57 average of four
workouts a week — can bring obvious mental benefits. The 58 (likely) of sticking to exercise
successfully is also highest when workouts are simple, arranged on a consistent schedule, and free of judgment.
Even among 59 (fair) fit people, adding more exercise to their daily routine has a positive impact on
well-being. When moderate exercisers squeezed in a few extra workouts per week, their depressive symptoms
dropped 60 a third after three months, compared with a control group that kept their original exercise
habits.
Nevertheless, almost all good things in life can turn harmful if 61 (overdo). Excessive exercise will
eventually backfire: it may worsen depression and anxiety and cause a wide range of physical health problems. If
you are a hard-core gym buff (爱好者 ), a couple of questions 62 (consider) are: do you feel anxious
without exercise, and 63 working out is crowding out your relationships or taking up too much of your
personal life
Anyway, there is one easy, accessible form of exercise that almost everyone can start right away. It costs
nothing, requires almost no professional skills, and works wonders in 64 (ease) negative moods — and
that is simply going for a walk. Numerous studies 65 (confirm) that daily walking helps relieve depression
and anxiety. Besides, it is one of the safest sports, with low risks of repetitive strain injuries or accidental harm.

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。
It was July, the final day of the school year. My class of six-year-old students was eagerly looking forward to
their summer break. To make the day more cheerful, I arranged for some balloons to be delivered, yet for me, this
vacation was a mix of happiness and sadness. I had recently moved to this city and didn’t have enough money to
take a flight home to be with my father. He was longing for me deeply, since this was his first summer without my
company.
As I turned off the light before leaving, I spotted the balloons by the window.
Not knowing what to do with them, I gathered the thirteen strings and put them in the backseat of my car.
Their colorful colors brightened my mood, and thankfully, I no longer felt so isolated.
Since I was still unfamiliar with the city, I chose to take a drive and before long, I found myself driving along
a winding road where the trees overhead covered each other. The branches reminded me of two friends reaching
out to welcome one another. Soon, a nursing home came into view. The place had an air of being forgotten, and I
noticed a man sitting by himself in the shadow outside.
I suddenly felt an urge to drive in. However, the balloons in my backseat were blocking my sight — at that
moment, I realized how to use them. I got out, took hold of one of the strings, waved at the man, and he smiled
back. He introduced himself as Daniel, and he was roughly the same age as my father. As I gave him the balloon,
he beamed and said, “Thanks. This adds a bit of brightness to my life.” As he fastened it to his chair, he appeared
more joyful than when I first saw him. So I replied with a smile, “You’ re welcome, Daniel. Maybe we’ll meet
again one day.’
To my surprise, he responded, “Maybe, but it’s not likely. People are always invited to visit, but they seldom
show up.” What he said forced me to pull an old chair closer to him. We began chatting about our lives, and the
sound of his voice constantly brought my father to mind. I had imagined that having a conversation with a stranger
would be dull. But it wasn’t; instead, it was enlightening — I had been feeling lonely, Daniel had felt the same,
and so had the other residents of the nursing home.
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。
Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat.
