In 1975, five-year-old Jeff, in a wheelchair, asked to meet Fred Rogers of the Neighborhood rather than going to Disneyland. It was the family’s own version of “Make-A-Wish,” proposed on the eve of Jeff’s major spinal (脊椎的) surgery. Jeff later said Mr. Rogers told him he was special and that he was just fine the way he was, and it gave him confidence.
Jeff’s parents wrote to the television star and got a handwritten reply that led to a breakfast meeting. They continued to correspond. After the surgery, Rogers wrote to say how glad he was that Jeff’s surgery had gone well. Then in 1980, Rogers decided to feature a child in a wheelchair on his show for a theme week on all things mechanical. He remembered Jeff and insisted it had to be him.
On the show, Rogers asked Jeff straightforwardly about his wheelchair and how he came to be in it. Producer Margy Whitmer recalled Jeff’s appearance on the show: “It was one of the most impressive moments… Here’s this child who has multiple disabilities, and Fred said, ‘Talk to me about that wheelchair. Talk to me about what’s wrong with you.’ And this extraordinary kid talked about his medical condition in a matter-of-fact way. Fred presented it to kids watching the show, as “this is just the way he is.”
This was the philosophy of Fred Rogers’s complete acceptance: there was no topic he wouldn’t address on air. “We don’t fudge things,” he once said when asked about the sources of the show’s popularity. “People long to be in touch with honesty.”
Jeff and Rogers didn’t meet again until 1999, when Rogers was being honored with a place in the Television Hall of Fame. When Jeff rolled onstage to surprise him, Rogers ran up and hugged him as if they were the only two people in the room. “On behalf of millions of children and grown-ups,” said Jeff, quoting Fred’s own song, “It’s you I like.”
There wasn’t a dry eye in the well-dressed house.
4．What did Jeff gain from his meeting with Fred Rogers
A．A good feeling about himself. B．A promise to be on the show.
C．A solution to his medical problems. D．A better understanding of mechanics.
5．What do Rogers’s words to Jeff on the show illustrate
A．His desire to impress the audience. B．His effort to make Jeff feel special.
C．His openness in discussing disability. D．His concern about Jeff’s physical health.
6．What does the underlined word “fudge” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Avoid. B．Challenge. C．Mess up. D．Comment on.
7．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．An Excellent Neighbor B．The Power of Acceptance
C．The Value of Friendship D．A Special Wheelchair Boy
Fancy letting a machine mediate (调解) your argument It could be the latest application for AI. Scientists at Google’s DeepMind project designed what they call the Habermas Machine, a large language AI named after German philosopher Jürgen Habermas.
The system works by taking written views of individuals within a group and using them to generate a set of group statements designed to be acceptable to all. Group members can then rate these statements. The most popular statement is then returned to participants to assess. Next, the AI mediation system generates revised statements, which participants again rate. The system then selects the winning statement.
The team used the system in a series of experiments involving a total of more than 5,000 participants who responded to various topics. The researchers found the initial group statement from the Habermas Machine was preferred by participants 56% of the time over a group statement produced by human mediators.
Part of the model’s success, researchers say, lies in its determination to give special weight to dissenting opinion. It was not the case that participants always switched opinion to support the majority view. Rather than siding with the majority, it allowed minority voices to feel heard.
The AI mediation system “offers a new approach to collective deliberation (审议) that avoids some of the limitations of in-person deliberation, including its cost, limited scale, the potential for mediator bias.” the researchers conclude. However, the AI mediation process may lack some of the benefits of in-person discussion, they write, such as “nonverbal clues and the opportunity to build interpersonal relationships with other discussants.” Machine seldom offers participants the chance to explain their feelings.
In addition, the researchers note that the AI mediation system could generate an ill-informed output if asked to synthesize (合成) human opinions that are based on limited or biased information. Thus, the researchers conclude that if their system is used in the real world, it should be “embedded in a larger deliberative process, including careful selection of participants to ensure that a balanced and diverse community is represented in the debate.”
8．What is Habermas Machine aimed at
A．Simplifying rating system. B．Facilitating greater agreement.
C．Managing interpersonal conflict. D．Honouring the German philosopher.
9．What does the underlined word “dissenting” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Informed. B．Novel. C．Differing. D．Decisive.
10．What may be the disadvantage of the AI-mediated discussions
A．They lack shared collective wisdom.
B．They raise participants’ opportunity cost.
C．They fail to tap into participants’ potential.
D．They rarely promote empathy among participants.
11．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．Risks of AI mediation. B．Future AI developments.
C．Tips on AI mediation use. D．Ethical concerns about AI.
In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural ingredients. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut (腰果) that is often thrown away — the shell. From it, they extract Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent decay (变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its potential for preserving food had not been fully explored until now.
The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations. Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks.
During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms, including Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium spp., and Proteus spp. Physicochemical analyses monitored changes in pH and water activity, while bacteria growth was assessed during storage at room temperature. The scientists discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer.
The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.
12．Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells
A．To reduce waste in the food industry. B．To find natural preservatives for food.
C．To improve the tastes of processed food. D．To expand industrial uses of the shell oil.
13．What was the primary focus of the microbiological evaluation
A．The variety of cashew species. B．The safety of refrigerated beef.
C．CNSL’s anti-bacteria effectiveness. D．The changes in pH and water activity.
14．What does the experiment suggest about CNSL
A．It works best at room temperature. B．Its effect depends on concentration.
C．It can improve meat quality over time. D．It speeds up the meat’s souring process.
15．What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL
A．Fully convinced. B．Cautiously optimistic.
C．Hesitant and doubtful. D．Neutral and objective.
After 20 years of teaching, I thought I’d heard every excuse from students trying to get a better grade. But recently I heard a new complaint: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into this course.” 16 In the past, students understood it and they knew “A” required great work. Yet today, Generation Z expect to be rewarded for the quantity of their effort rather than the quality of their knowledge. In surveys, two-thirds of college students say that “trying hard” should be a factor in their grades.
17 It’s the result of a misunderstanding about one popular educational theories. Psychologists have long found that rewarding effort helps form a strong work ethic and reinforces learning. 18 We’ve gone from praising effort to treating it as an end in itself. We’ve failed to remind them that working hard doesn’t guarantee doing a good job. There’s a reason we award Olympic medals to the athletes who swim the fastest, not the ones who train the hardest. What counts is not mere effort but the progress and result.
The ideal response to a disappointing grade is not to complain that your diligence wasn’t rewarded. 19 Trying harder isn’t always the answer. Sometimes it’s working smarter, and other times, it’s working on something else altogether. Devotion is just one of the many contributing factors to achievement. Ability, opportunity and luck count, too.
Now in my classes, students are assessed on the quality of their written essays, class participation, group presentations and final papers or exams. I make it clear that “A” is not granted for effort itself; it is earned through mastery of knowledge. The true measure of learning is not the time and energy you put in. 20
A．Teachers are to blame.
B．It is to ask how to improve.
C．This isn’t Generation Z’s fault.
D．“B” may not fully reflect your dedication.
E．It’s the knowledge and skills you acquire.
F．High marks are for excellence, not perseverance.
G．But we’ve taken the practice of celebrating diligence too far.

五、书面表达
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。
The summer vacation had one week left, and I decided to hold “Mommy Camp” for my daughters, Grace and Lily. I threw myself into research and planning, trying to get every detail right. Through my careful preparation, it was a week full of crafts, stories, projects and adventures, all wrapped around a fun and educational theme. My husband, Mike, thought I had got so many craft supplies and books, but I just ignored him. I knew what was best for my girls.
On the first day, we tried to make paw (爪子) print paintings with our dog Pete. But Pete wouldn’t stay still. Paint spread everywhere, and the dog ended up purple. The girls laughed, but I felt stressed. Worse still, they soon got bored. “Mom, can we just go outside and play ” Grace asked. “No, we’ll finish the paintings later,” I said firmly. “Let’s do a craft for Pete at the shelter.” We moved on to making dog toys, but I badly underestimated how long each would take. We got only a handful done.
That night, I collapsed in a chair. Mike sat beside me and said, “You look wiped out. Maybe you’re trying too hard. The girls just want to have fun.” I explained that I wanted them to learn something meaningful. Mike shook his head and left me to it.
Over the next few days, we crafted starfish and dolphins from cardboard and drew castles and shells. The girls complained a lot. Lily whispered to Grace, “I wish we could go to the beach.” I pretended not to hear. Every night, I felt down because we didn’t finish everything as planned.
The last day dawned bright and sunny, perfect for visiting the environmental center I’d looked into. But when I double-checked the center’s hours, I found out it had unexpectedly closed for the day. Another letdown.
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。
“How about going to the beach ” Mike said.

Are Life Skills Classes Necessary
From my perspective, life skills classes are absolutely necessary for high school students.
Firstly, these classes bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and real-life needs. Academic subjects train our minds, but skills like cooking a simple meal, doing laundry properly, or managing a weekly budget prepare us for independent living after graduation. Moreover, a curriculum dotted with such hands-on activities can bring so much fun and relaxation, offering a break from intense exam preparation. They can even promote family harmony. When students share housework skills at home, they lighten their parents’ burden and strengthen family bonds.
In short, life skills matter as much as academic ones. So why not consider adding these practical courses to our timetable A small change might bring big benefits for all of us.

“How about going to the beach ” Mike said. “Yay!” the girls shouted. I glared at Mike. “How is a trip to the beach going to help The girls needed an activity that was educational. That was the point of Mommy Camp, right ” But Lily and Grace were so excited. I couldn’t say no. So we headed to the beach instead. The girls ran ahead, kicking off their shoes as soon as their feet touched the soft sand. Grace and Lily built a sandcastle with Mike. They collected smooth stones and shells, asking each other why some shells were broken. I sat on the beach, feeling the sun on my face, and for the first time that week, I stopped worrying about finishing a project. Mike joined me with two cold drinks, said nothing, and just smiled.
As we drove home, the girls chatted happily about the “best day ever.” They compared their favorite shells and argued over who had found the flattest skipping stone. Listening to them, I felt a sense of peace. The week had been full of failed crafts and complaints, yet here they were more excited than after any of my carefully planned activities. Mike glanced at me in the rearview mirror and gave a small nod. That night, after tucking the girls into bed, I realized that learning didn’t always need a schedule. Sometimes the best lessons came from simply letting go. I decided that next summer, “Mommy Camp” would have only one rule: Follow the Fun.
