Last summer, I packed my backpack and boarded a one-way flight to Bangkok. I had traveled before, but always with family or tour groups. This time, I was completely alone.
The first few days were overwhelming. Navigating Bangkok’s crowded streets, I felt lost more than once. My phone’s map seemed useless in the narrow alleys. Yet, each time I found my way, a small sense of pride grew inside me. I was learning to rely on myself.
The real magic happened in a small village in northern Thailand. I had planned to stay for two days, but something about the place kept me for a week. Each morning, I sat with an elderly local woman who sold noodles from a cart. She spoke no English, and my Thai was limited to “thank you” and “delicious.” Still, we communicated through smiles and gestures. One afternoon, she invited me to her home to meet her family. We shared a meal of sticky rice and spicy papaya salad, laughing without saying a word.
Not everything went smoothly. A delayed flight in Laos left me stuck overnight at a tiny airport. I caught a cold in Vietnam and spent two days in a hostel bed, wondering if I had made a terrible mistake. But looking back, even those moments taught me something. I learned to stay calm when things went wrong and to accept help from strangers who became temporary friends.
When I returned home, my parents said I seemed different. They were right. I had left as a student who needed everything planned; I came back as someone who could handle the unexpected. That trip taught me that travel is not just about places you visit. It is about the person you become along the way.
24. What can we infer about the writer before the trip from the passage
A. She had a preference for traveling alone.
B. She was accustomed to relying on others.
C. She enjoyed making friends with strangers.
D. She was skilled at coping with sudden changes.
25. What does the writer convey by saying “laughing without saying a word” (Paragraph 3)
A. She was too shy to talk with the local family in Thai.
B. The food was so delicious that they had no time to talk.
C. They had nothing to talk about because of the language barrier.
D. Genuine feelings in heart can be expressed beyond spoken language.
26. Why did the writer have to stay overnight at a tiny airport in Laos
A. She missed her flight. B. Her flight was late.
C. She boarded the wrong plane. D. She caught a cold.
27. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Self-growth from solo travel abroad.
B. Beautiful memories of solo travel abroad.
C. Unavoidable troubles during solo travel abroad.
D. Practical tips for communicating with locals abroad.
C
Is a teenage boy more likely to grow up working with children as a teacher or with engines as a mechanic Smart money bets on the latter, and that would still hold true even if you switch up the country or decade throughout the 20th century. But why What are the factors that contribute to this seemingly stereotypical outcome
You might think that social forces — discrimination, gender roles, etc. — significantly shape these outcomes, but research shows that men and women’s occupational pursuits and interests have not changed much over the past century, even as societal norms decidedly have. Boys and girls tend to pursue jobs dealing with things and people respectively. And, perhaps counter-intuitively, this preference for sex-typical jobs tends to increase when their country offers more economic and political empowerment for women — a phenomenon called the “gender-equality paradox (悖论).”
A recent study noted that with fewer economic worries, greater national wealth might enable more students to pursue jobs to which they are naturally drawn. “Individual students in wealthy nations with strong social safety nets might choose more in accordance with biologically influenced occupational interests than in accordance with political ideals,” the study stated. Social factors may indeed play a role in determining which jobs young men and women are interested in, but biology seems to be a considerable force driving these outcomes. From a policy perspective, that means that interventions designed to bring more women into fields like STEM might need to be readjusted.
From my perspective, it is worth considering whether such interventions are appropriate in the first place. After all, if we want greater national wealth and gender equality, and these two things seem to push people toward sex-typical jobs, then why not let the chips fall where they may Moreover, what might be good for organizations and businesses is not always the same as what is good for individuals.
28. What does the underlined word “stereotypical” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Influential. B. Productive. C. Unchanged. D. Appealing.
29. Why does the phenomenon of “gender-equality paradox” occur
A. Girls observe the societal norms all the time.
B. Boys always pursue careers to do with people.
C. Women gain more economical and political support.
D. Men have less access to sex-typical occupations nowadays.
30. What is more likely to determine individuals’ occupational interest
A. Social safety nets. B. Political ideals. C. Readjusted interventions. D. Biological factors.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Gender equality is having a greater impact on sex-typical occupations.
B. Individuals should pursue their favored jobs regardless of the intervention.
C. More proper policies should be made to intervene women’s career options.
D. Organizations and businesses have benefited greatly from economic growth.
32. Why was the prohibition of selling H20 to China mentioned
A. To show America’s continuous and targeted restrictions.
B. To praise Nvidia’s efforts in designing customized chips.
C. To prove China’s full chip replacement of Nvidia’s products.
D. To explain the severe chip shortage Chinese AI labs are facing.
33. How has China managed to maintain its chip supply despite US sanctions
A. By completely stopping the use of advanced AI chips.
B. Through reduced investment in data center construction.
C. By negotiating new trade deals with American companies.
D. Through technological innovations and alternative supply channels.
34. What is the author’s attitude towards China’s chip industry
A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Skeptical. D. Indifferent.
35. What’s the best title of the text
A. Constant Pressures on China’s Chip Industry
B. China’s Chip Development amid challenges
C. China’s AI Progress under U.S. Restrictions
D. Global Competition in Semiconductor Market
D
A wave of optimism has lately swept through China’s chip industry. Share traders in Shanghai joke that Cambricon, a local firm, not only offers a substitute for Nvidia’s processors, but for its stock, too. Although the Chinese semiconductor firm is worth only a fraction of its giant American rival, its share price has rocketed by 350% over the past year, around 15 times as much as Nvidia’s. This surge reflects growing confidence in China’s ability to compete in the global semiconductor market, despite external pressures.
These pressures are no accident. In recent years, America has tried to halt the flow of advanced chips and chipmaking tools to China in the hope of hindering its progress in artificial intelligence (AI). Last month, Nvidia was effectively prohibited from selling its H20 chip in China, a product originally designed in response to earlier restrictions. Despite America’s efforts to hold it back, however, Chinese AI continues to power ahead. At least for the time being, the country’s AI labs do not appear to be suffering from a shortage of chips. Internet giants such as Alibaba and Tencent are building vast numbers of AI data centres, apparently unrestricted.
How is this possible The answer lies in two key factors. First, breakthroughs by companies like DeepSeek, an AI startup, have significantly reduced the computing power required for AI systems, easing reliance on advanced chips. Second, a shadowy supply chain has managed to keep Nvidia’s hardware flowing into China, bypassing American sanctions(制裁). Together, these improvements have given the supply chain some extra time to recover.
Nevertheless, challenges remain. China’s chip industry still depends on foreign components for high-end products, and lacks access to cutting-edge tools like ASML’s lithography machines. But things might be changing soon. Huawei, Cambricon, and CXMT have made remarkable strides, proving that domestic innovation is accelerating. As more Chinese companies shift toward homegrown solutions, the focus is no longer on whether China can achieve semiconductor self-reliance, but on how soon. With sustained investment and innovation, that day may arrive faster than many anticipate.
32. Why was the prohibition of selling H20 to China mentioned
A. To show America’s continuous and targeted restrictions.
B. To praise Nvidia’s efforts in designing customised chips.
C. To prove China’s full chip replacement of Nvidia’s products.
D. To explain the severe chip shortage Chinese AI labs are facing.
33. How has China managed to maintain its chip supply despite US sanctions

How to Name Your Solo Art Exhibition
Coming up with a name for your solo art exhibition can be a discouraging task. The name of your exhibition can impact how many people come to your show and how they view your art. 36
Look at other art exhibition names for inspiration. What have your favorite artists named their art exhibitions 37 It’s easier to brainstorm ideas once you have an idea of what other people are doing. If you think other art exhibition names all sound the same, come up with something totally different!
38 Don’t be afraid to break the rules or be inspirational with the name you choose. For instance, instead of naming your exhibition “Exploring Global Climate Change Through Photography”, you could go with something bolder like “World On Fire!”.
Use a traditional two-part name. 39 Take the name “Endless Commute: A Photographic Collection of Drivers Stuck in Traffic” for example. The first part of the name, “Endless Commute”, draws people in without giving away too much information about the exhibit as most people know what it’s like to commute to work. 40 Thus, the second part of the name should be clear and concise. “A Photographic Collection of Drivers Stuck in Traffic” only includes the information that’s necessary for people to understand what your exhibition is about.
A. What about other similar local artists
B. Choose a bold name for a standout exhibition.
C. Make the name of the exhibition relate to the art show.
D. However, it’s harder to hold people’s interest with a long title.
E. Usually, the first part of the name is absorbing and recognizable.
F. Using a two-part name will make your exhibit appear professional.
G. Fortunately there are a few tricks for you to entitle an exhibition you love.

Into the Wind
It was a beautiful day for a bike ride. I headed out to meet a friend to explore a newly reopened bike path that I had never ridden before. As a cyclist for more than twenty-five years, I found that riding my bike was not only a great physical workout, but also a go-to strategy to quiet my mind and relieve stress. I felt incredibly blessed to be healthy enough to go for a ride well into my fifties.
As we meandered along the wooded bike path, we maintained a relaxed, comfortable pace. Riding side by side, we talked about a frustrating experience of pedaling into a strong wind on a Oklahoma day before — a day that taught me: if you’re going to ride a bike regularly, you might as well learn to ride into the wind.
As we passed an abandoned construction cone (锥形路标) at the side of the path, I suddenly saw a blur of yellow. The next thing I remembered, my bike was no longer underneath me, and I was falling to the pavement. Apparently, a piece of caution tape had flown off the cone as I passed and wrapped around the pedal area of my bike. Thankfully, a quick self-check of my helmet confirmed I had not hit my head. However, my wrist looked misshapen. Paramedics arrived and told me that maybe doctors could simply pop my wrist back into place and then secure it with a sling (吊带).
Unfortunately, it would not be that simple. X-rays showed multiple bone breaks in my wrist and elbow that would require immediate surgery to install screws (螺钉) and plates (钢板) to stabilize the bones. My right ankle was sprained, my left shoulder was injured, my knees hurt, and I had bruising all over my body. The doctors told me they couldn’t even begin to diagnose my other injuries until I healed from the broken bones. Instead of a quick pop of a bone back into place, I was facing months of healing and physical treatment.

Possible version:
Dear Jeremy,
Hope this letter finds you well. Last Saturday I visited a spectacular Calligraphy and Painting Relics Exhibition with my family. Totally lost in our ancestors’ wisdom and exquisite craftsmanship, I just can’t wait to share the unforgettable experience with you.
Walking around the hall, I was fascinated by countless marvelous cultural relics, immersing myself in appreciating the history and beauty of each piece and unwilling to leave until closing time. What impressed me most was the painting Clearing After Snow on a Mountain Pass by Tang Yin of the Ming Dynasty, whose elegant lines and vivid scenery still make the work look lively and energetic today.
Above all, a strong sense of pride and cultural confidence welled up in my heart. It dawned on me that traditional Chinese culture is brilliant and timeless, embodying the profound wisdom of our nation. I firmly believe such treasures are well worth preserving, cherishing and sharing with the world.
Wish you all the best. I would be more than delighted if you could visit China someday and explore the unique charm of traditional Chinese culture with me.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节：读后续写（满分25分）
Possible version（原版改编）:
Paragraph 1: I was devastated. How could this have happened on a simple bike path to a rider with 25 years of cycling experience I was angry and frustrated. How would I deal with such a long recovery What else would I face over time as my other injuries were addressed The whole experience felt surreal. As my body slowly healed from the wrist and elbow surgeries, I began physical therapy. Each day, I woke with waves of fear, anger, and uncertainty. Four months later, I was required another surgery in my shoulder. More anger, fear and frustration. Besides, the thought that I would never ride my bike again, never feel the
wind against my face or enjoy the quiet joy of cycling almost ended my life. One day, I realized I could not continue with the mindset I had been in. I might not have any control over my injuries, but I absolutely had control over how I thought about them.
Paragraph 2: Sitting at home with my arm in a sling, I made a decision that changed my life. I decided that no matter how many more surgeries it took, how many hours of physical therapy, how much pain and sleeplessness lay ahead, I was no longer going to fight it. Instead, I would lean into it and simply go through the process of healing. It was like learning how to ride into the wind again. I became grateful for every single day I could get up, move my body, walk, exercise, and heal. Now I have had five surgeries. I still have pain and more recovery ahead, both physically and mentally, but it’s okay. I accept it. After all, I have been able to occasionally hop on my bike for a short spin again. I am truly blessed with the choice of acceptance in face of the sustained injuries, which has guided me to eliminate denial and confusion and spot a brand new version of myself. I can’t wait to go for a long bike ride again. If it’s windy, even better.

Welcome to Nine O’clock News. Now let’s focus on urban ecology — Professor Andrew Jones made a speech about the decline in urban bee population at Seattle University today. Firstly, he stressed that bees play a crucial part in keeping our cities green and full of life. They make great contributions to over 75% of the world’s food crops, including fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Without them, food production would decline significantly. (19) Secondly, he said the bee population has been dropping at an alarming rate due to habitat destruction, environmental pollution, and the widespread use of chemicals. And climate change affects the growth of flowering plants, which in turn disrupts bees’ food supply. Lastly, he added that many cities around the world have taken steps to protect the urban bee population. For instance, Paris has placed over 300 “bee hotels” in public parks to provide bees with safe resting spots. (20) Oslo in Norway has introduced a “bee highway”, so bees can move safely. And in London, some rooftops now host beehives. Now let’s move on to the latest updates.
