第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
London has more to explore beyond the British Museum! Now, get stuck into some small, specialized museums.
The Fan Museum
To be the most fan-tastic of all London museums, Greenwich’s Fan Museum has an obvious head start. The collection dates back to the tenth century and the displays change throughout the year. According to the Victorian “language of fans”, drawing a fan across the cheek means “I love you”. Practice it, because it’ll be your preferred method of communication.
Grant Museum of Zoology
Be warned: UCL’s museum of zoology isn’t for the faint of heart. The bones of an elephant head and a mole (鼹鼠) jaw are among the exhibits that discourage a total chicken. Your hair stands on end, yes, but you’ll learn some fascinating stuff here. It’s the Noah’s Ark equivalent (等同物) of London’s numerous medical museums.
The Magic Circle
If you’ve got a trick or two up your sleeve, this is the right place. Located at the Magic Circle Headquarters in Euston, its prized possessions include Harry Houdini’s handcuffs (手铐) and the belongings of legendary magician Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin. Sadly, you can’t explore it whenever you please — it can only be visited as part of a public event.
The Cinema Museum
This Kennington museum only opens its doors for guided tours if you book in advance. But believe us, it’s worth all the trouble. There’s a great collection of posters, projectors, cinema carpets, fan magazines and souvenirs, plus more than 17 million feet of film on exhibition.
21. Which museum is a bit scary
A. The Fan Museum. B. Grant Museum of Zoology.
C. The Magic Circle. D. The Cinema Museum.
22. What do The Magic Circle and The Cinema Museum have in common
A. They share a romantic theme. B. They set restrictions on visits.
C. They operate on souvenir sales. D. They refresh exhibits frequently.
23. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A travel journal. B. A history textbook. C. A tourist magazine. D. A historical document.
B
After spending most of his life on commercial cruises (游船), Guillaume Picard is now fighting to keep these vast ships out of the French port of Marseille. The former captain’s new crew is a growing group of activists called “Stop Croisières”, or Stop Cruises, the core of whom now numbers between 50 and 100, says Picard, including lawyers and ecologists. This non-violent organization mainly educates the public through leaflets and prevents the cruises through banners (横幅).
Few people know the sea better than Guillaume Picard. He grew up on a boat in the port of Hyères in southern France, and spent 30 years as a commercial captain, ferrying tourists and containers across the Mediterranean.
Now aged 65, it is with no small note of bitterness that he says, “When I go hiking, I find the mountains are an environment much better preserved.” Picard’s beloved sea is being destroyed, he believes, by cruises. Fifteen years ago, they were a rare sight in Marseille. Now, France’s second city is one of Europe’s busiest cruise ports. Last year, 2.5 million passengers stopped off, according to the port authority, a million more than the year before. Faced with this new reality, Picard couldn’t wait to become the sea’s protector, replacing his captain’s whites with the all-black of a non-violent activist.
For Picard, the switch from boat captain to protector has been a long journey of self-education. He has regrets about his former career as a commercial sailor, but is trying to share his knowledge of the maritime (海运的) world with as many people as possible in the hope that it can be useful. “I certainly feel guilty,” he says. “It’s guilt for having participated in the destruction of life. But maybe that is the engine that makes me an activist now.”
24. What do we learn about the group “Stop Croisières”
A. It is under Picard’s leadership. B. It has brought sizable profits.
C. It requires violence in some cases. D. It consists of former sailors only.
25. Why did Picard feel it an urge to protect the sea
A. Because he lost trust in the port authority.
B. Because he retired from commercial ships.
C. Because he witnessed a sharp rise in cruises.
D. Because he was tired of hiking in mountains.
26. Which of the following best describes old Picard
A. Greedy and calculating. B. Organized and generous.
C. Conservative and dreamy. D. Responsible and devoted.
27. What does Picard’s story show
A. Better late than never. B. Look before you leap.
C. Fortune favors the brave. D. Opportunity knocks but once.
C
Today, AI models can do an astonishing variety of tasks from writing detailed reports to creating video on demand. Some people worry they will soon be surplus (过剩的) to requirements. But is AI actually putting anyone out of work
Lots of experts claim that it is. They point to a recent paper by Carl Benedikt Frey and Pedro Llanos-Paredes, from the University of Oxford, which suggests a link between automation and declining demand for translators. At the same time, however, official American data suggest that the number of people employed in translation and the like is 7% higher than a year ago.
Others search the economic data for signs of the forthcoming AI job-loss, saying young graduates are now more likely than the average worker to be jobless. Well, no. American young graduates’ relative unemployment rate, which is actual unemployment rate minus (减) national average unemployment rate, started to rise in 2009, long before generative AI came along. And their actual unemployment rate (2025), at around 6%, remains low.
As we examine American data on employment by occupation, we pick out workers believed to be vulnerable (易受影响的) to AI. These are white-collar employees, including people in back-office support, financial operations, sales and much more besides. We find that over the past year the employment in white-collar work has risen slightly.
Across the board, America’s national average unemployment rate (2025) remains low, at 4.2%. Wage growth is still reasonably strong, which goes against the concern that AI is causing demand for labor to fall. And, outside America, earnings growth in many countries also remains strong.
There are two competing causes of these trends. First, despite the endless announcements about integrating AI into operations, few companies make much use of the technology for serious work. The second is that even when companies do adopt the tech, they do not let people go.
That said, whatever the cause, for now there is no need to panic.
28. What fuels people’s fear of being unemployed
A. Limitations of human labor.
B. Modern technological advances.
C. Complexity of tasks in the AI era.
D. Heavy workload in various fields.
29. Which chart best shows American young graduates’ relative unemployment rate
A. B.
C. D.
30. Why does the author mention two reasons in paragraph 6
A. To cite the data sources. B. To identify the likelier reason.
C. To further justify his prediction. D. To model valid research methods.
31. What’s probably the author’s attitude towards human employment
A. Puzzled. B. Alarmed. C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic.
D
Space agencies have been treating the idea of living on Mars (火星) a long-term goal. However, the thin air, low pressure and extreme temperatures are what most Earth life can’t tolerate, let alone the constant radiation. So, a Mars shelter is central to any plan for sustainable human life. Shipping material from Earth would be far too unrealistic. A practical approach, as is published on the website NASA Science, is to build with what is already on Mars.
NASA has collected samples of Martian soil that may contain evidence of very early life. That raises a bigger question: if microorganisms (微生物) once lived on Mars, could they also help us build there The focus is biomineralization — microorganisms create minerals as part of their metabolism (新陈代谢). Erik Richards, lead author of the research, said microorganisms on Earth that burgeon in tough settings such as acidic lakes, volcanic soils, and deep caves may be especially useful as we explore what could work under Martian conditions.
The work centers on a partnership between two bacteria: Sporosarcina pasteurii (巴氏芽孢八叠球菌), which is known for creating calcium carbonate, and Chroococcidiopsis (拟甲色球藻), a strong cyanobacterium that can survive extreme environments, including simulated (模拟的) Martian conditions. Together, they transform loose soil into a solid, concrete - like material.
The long-term vision is to combine this bacterial co-culture with Martian soil and use it as feedstock (原料) for 3D printing on Mars. If it works in volume, it could change how structures are made on this red planet. The potential value is not limited to construction. Because Chroococcidiopsis can produce oxygen, it could also help enable self-sustaining agriculture and Mars’s terraforming (地球化).
Even with promising ideas, their work is still at an early stage. Repeated delays in Mars sample return limit how quickly Mars-specific construction methods can be tested and confirmed. Also, robotics today is unable to reproduce Martian gravity on Earth, yet gravity affects 3D printing and autonomous construction.
32. Why is a shelter of vital importance on Mars
A. Because material from Earth can’t be used.
B. Because too many space agencies want to stay.
C. Because its conditions are deadly for Earth life.
D. Because space agencies target long-term research.
33. What does the underlined word “burgeon” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Boom. B. Sink. C. Communicate. D. Disappear.
34. What can be inferred about the construction work
A. It is an incredibly fast process.
B. It may bring about added bonus.
C. It has been tested and confirmed.
D. It takes just two types of bacteria.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Different stages. B. Promising ideas. C. Current obstacles. D. Potential applications.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Today, the “I don’t care” attitude is becoming increasingly popular. Phrases like “I don’t care what anybody thinks” are often blindly used to express freedom and relief. 36 Understanding when to adopt this mindset can make a great difference.
The “I don’t care” attitude can be quite beneficial when it motivates us to persevere, especially when others have given up. 37 J. K. Rowling, for instance, faced widespread doubt when proposing Harry Potter, but she kept polishing her novel without worrying about criticism. It was her persistence in crafting a magical world that eventually brought her success. As you can see in Rowling’s example, ignoring external doubts can actually help us stay focused on our own goals.
38 This happens when someone acts out of stubbornness (固执) or a desire to shift blame, or acts selfishly, focusing solely on their own desires while ignoring how interconnected people’s needs are. In the case of recent social media algorithm scandals (算法丑闻), tech giants repeatedly ignored internal researchers’ warnings about mental health harms to teenagers, claiming “not their department” Finally, it has caused uncontrollable rising anxiety and self-harm rates among young users. 39
Therefore, it’s crucial to reflect on why we adopt the “I don’t care” attitude. Are we motivated by confidence in our decisions, or are we simply avoiding challenges 40 There are times when it’s crucial to care deeply about others, the truth, and personal growth. At other times, it’s equally important to remain indifferent to negativity, distractions, or unnecessary pressures. By carefully choosing when to adopt the “I don’t care” attitude, we can lead more fulfilling lives.
A. The key is balance.
B. Motivation comes first.
C. Great achievements tend to come from ignoring doubters.
D. When no one takes responsibility, it is everyone’s disaster.
E. This mindset, however, can also have negative consequences.
F. Others, however, are always concerned about everyone’s feelings.
G. While this attitude can be liberating, it also comes with potential risks.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Originating in the Tang Dynasty, Shuyuan, or ancient Chinese academies, were unique Chinese institutions. By the Song Dynasty, they 56 (become) China’s primary intellectual centers, 57 scholars often had critical reflection, intense exchanges and debates.
Chinese Shuyuan 58 (wise), historically, first resonated (共振) with the West during the Ming Dynasty, when Italian missionary Matteo Ricci met Zhang Huang, then head of Bailudong Academy. Ricci studied the Confucian 59 (classic) under Zhang’s guidance, while Zhang integrated Western geographical knowledge into his own work.
This kind of dialogue lives on. In 2025, nearly 200 foreign scholars gathered at the Kaoting Academy in East China’s Fujian Province for the Conference on Zhu Xi’s Philosophy and Dialogue of Global Civilization, to explore how 60 late Chinese philosopher Zhu Xi’s thoughts could offer insights for resolving civilizational conflicts. Former UNESCO General Conference president Simona-Mirela Miculescu noted that Zhu’s belief 61 the inseparability of learning and virtue agrees with UNESCO’s mission 62 (build) peace through understanding, learning and mutual (相互的) respect.
As the world 63 (active) seeks ways to engage in dialogue across different civilizations while preserving distinct identities, Shuyuan have emerged as guides from Chinese history, 64 (enable) Chinese culture to continuously absorb nutrients, develop and innovate through dialogue with diverse civilizations around the world. Also, they allow the world to gain a 65 (deep) and more comprehensive understanding of China.

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。
Jimmy and Bob had a lot in common. They studied in the same class and lived in the same community, just a few houses apart. Both were top students in their class, winning praise from teachers and parents. Yet there was a sense of rivalry deep in both of their hearts. They both secretly wanted to be the best, rather than just one of the best.
One day, their teacher announced a special charity sale all students could participate in to raise money by selling homemade things. All the money from the sale would be donated to the children in a partnered special school, and the student who raised the most money would get the honor to name the activity.
Jimmy and Bob immediately decided to join separately: Jimmy planned to sell his paintings, while Bob prepared to sell candies following a family recipe with a delicious taste.
When the big day arrived, the school playground buzzed with energy: colorful ribbons and balloons everywhere, stalls (摊位) neatly arranged across the field. A few stalls away, Jimmy saw Bob’s plain-looking candies and his empty cash box. He even felt kind of happy, thinking he could beat him this time. But things didn’t go as expected. Jimmy’s cash box was no better, with only one or two coins inside. Feeling upset, he accidentally heard two students talking nearby. “Good paintings, but I prefer something practical with my only pocket money,” one student said. Their words hitting Jimmy like a lightning bolt, he suddenly had an idea.
At lunch break, Jimmy went to Bob. “Bob, I have an idea,” he said seriously. “I once tasted your candies. Although they’re not eye-catching, the tastes are amazing. My paintings are beautiful but not practical to students in our school. What if we work together We can split the money equally, and if we win, we can name the activity together — if permitted.”
