Liu Yang, China’s first female astronaut, reportedly, has touched the hearts of millions with a letter to her two children that was made public after she set off into space for the second time earlier this month.
“You’re my strongest armor (盔甲) and soft spot. I didn’t allow you to see me off at the launch site because I was afraid that I would burst into tears,” Liu wrote in the letter to her daughter, 8, and son, 6, just days before being launched into space for the second time on June 5 in the Shenzhou-14 mission.
Liu, then 43, became China’s first female astronaut in 2012, when she spent 13 days in space during the Shenzhou-9 mission. During the Shenzhou-14 mission, she stayed at the Tiangong space station for six months, working with two male colleagues to complete the construction of the station.
Many people said that Liu’s words allowed them to see that a national hero is also an ordinary mother, and they wished for her safe return. “Liu fully expressed her love for her children in the letter. It brought tears to my eyes,” commented one netizen on Sina Weibo, China’s Twitter-like micro-blogging platform.
“I feel more confident and relaxed,” Liu told the media ahead of the launch of the Shenzhou-14 mission. “When I was about to return to the orbital module during the Shenzhou-9 mission, I stopped and turned around to salute (致敬) the experimental space station module that I stayed in. At that moment, I told myself that I would come back to space in the near future. I didn’t expect the ‘near future’ to be a decade long,” Liu said.
In the letter, she encouraged her children not to be afraid of failure while pursuing their dreams. Liu added that she felt sorry she could not be there for her son on his first day at primary school. “Although I cannot be with you, I won’t love you any less,” she wrote in the letter. “My babies, if you miss me, just look up into the starry sky. Every time you see the stars twinkle, it’s because I’m saying ‘I love you’.”
4. What is the common reason for Liu’s and netizens’ tears
A. Liu’s refusal to meet with her kids. B. Liu’s indifferent expressions.
C. Liu’s affection for her children. D. Liu’s separation from her family.
5. Which of the following best describes Liu taking on the Shenzhou-14 mission
A. Confident and unexpected. B. Talkative and honest.
C. Ready and honest. D. Considerate and excited.
6. What is Liu’s purpose of writing this letter
A. To encourage her kids to try. B. To catch public attention.
C. To say goodbye to her children. D. To praise the spirit of space.
7. From which is the text probably taken
A. A science paper. B. A woman autobiography.
C. A Chinese textbook. D. A news report.

Among the world’s most mysterious artworks stands The Lute Player (《鲁特琴演奏者》), painted by the Italian artist Caravaggio. There are three very similar paintings, and most people cannot tell which one is the artist’s original (原作).
To art experts, there has been broad agreement that the paintings held by Russia’s Hermitage Museum and France’s Wildenstein Collection were created by the artist, while the one at Britain’s Badminton House is only a copy.
But artificial intelligence (AI) disagreed. In September 2025, Swiss AI company Art Recognition said there’s an almost 86 percent chance that Badminton House’s painting is real, while Wildenstein’s one is likely a copy.
This event shows AI’s new role in deciding whether an artwork is real. In the past, human experts identified real artworks from copies using their deep knowledge of artists and modern technologies such as infrared imaging (红外成像).Today, AI might serve as another helpful tool for experts. The technology can study small details from images of artworks. It then compares these features with real works by the same artist to find differences that experts and other scientific methods might miss.
However, many experts don’t fully trust AI to identify real art. They pointed out that AI can give results without explaining how it reached them. Also, the technology is only as good as the data it’s trained on, meaning both the number and quality of painting images can affect its accuracy (准确性).The Art Newspaper reported that proper AI training can require thousands of images, but few artists have produced that many works. Artists may also change their styles suddenly, so AI that only looks for fixed patterns can easily make mistakes.
As art is subjective, neither AI nor humans can be completely certain about their judgments (判断). Currently, AI provides only the likelihood of a painting being created by a particular artist, so it shouldn’t be the only method used for authentication. Instead, it should be used together with human knowledge and scientific testing to reach the most reliable results. “I strongly believe that the future of art authentication lies in the collaboration (协作) between AI and experts,” Art Recognition’s CEO Carina Popovici told ARTnews.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A. By comparing three museums. B. By explaining an art theory.
C. By describing a mystery. D. By introducing a famous artist.
9. What advantage does AI have over human experts in art authentication
A. It can notice details that humans might ignore. B. It can analyze different art styles quickly.
C. It can clearly explain its reasoning process. D. It works well when artists change their styles.
10. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A. The effects of changes in artists’ styles B. The roles of experts in AI authentication.
C. The importance of training data for AI. D. The limitations of AI in art authentication.
11. What is Carina Popovici’s opinion of AI’s role in art authentication
A. AI may someday replace human experts. B. AI can be a great help to human experts.
C. AI should be used to give final judgment. D. AI is not as reliable as scientific testing.
D
Earthquakes are among the most mysterious and terrifying natural disasters. While we can sometimes predict major ones, others strike without warning, devastating cities and causing fires, landslides and tsunamis. With climate change leading to increased wildfires and, hurricanes, could it also make earthquakes more common
The most dangerous earthquakes are tectonic (地壳构造的) earthquakes, caused by the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates. These plates shift about 1.5 centimeters per year due to internal heat, building pressure until they suddenly move, which releases energy and causes earthquakes.
Unlike other disasters, it’s almost impossible to predict when earthquakes will happen, making planned evacuations (疏散) next to impossible.
Unfortunately, climate change could make quakes happen closer together and with more intensity, experts told Live Science. With global warming, glaciers are melting at an increased rate. When melted glacier water flows off land and into the sea, the land that used to sit underneath it rises, said John Cassidy, an earthquake seismologist at the Geological Survey of Canada and the University of Victoria.
More concerning than glacial-melt earthquakes are those that could be caused by an increase in sea level. As sea levels rise, pressure underwater on the seafloor also goes up, said Marco Bohnhoff, a geophysicist at GFZ Helmholtz Centre Potsdam and Free University Berlin in Germany. As water pressure spikes, the pressure on fault (断层) lines near the coast will also increase.
Even if we stopped using greenhouse gases now, it would take up to 1000 years for sea level rise to stop, Bohnhoff added. He predicts that over that time, the gaps between big coastal earthquakes will become shorter.
Cassidy is uncertain if sea level rise will cause giant quakes to happen faster within our lifetimes. He emphasized that climate change will make them more dangerous. Tsunamis will reach farther inland, and warmer oceans will increase rainfall, raising the risk of earthquake-induced landslides. Rainfall will also make earthquake shaking worse in wet ground. However, Cassidy notes there’s still much to figure out
It’s an important topic, and one that I’m sure we’ll see a lot of information coming out on in the coming months and years, he said. “But no matter what we’ve discovered, it’s not good news.”
12. What does the article tell us about tectonic earthquakes
A. They are easier to predict than others.
B. They happen mostly near coastal areas.
C. They result from the shifting of Earth’s plates.
D. They rarely lead to other natural disasters.
13. What does the underlined word it in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The land B. The glaciers C. The quakes D. The sea
14. What dose Bohnhoff imply
A. Human actions have long-term effects.
B. Coastal areas will be safer over time.
C. Earthquakes will become more predictable.
D. Sea level rise will eventually stabilize.
15. What is Cassidy’s attitude toward the future impact of climate change on earthquakes
A. Hopeful. B. Concerned. C. Uncaring. D. Skeptical.

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。
I looked up from my desk to see the teacher writing on the board: “Battle of the Books!” She smiled and said, “This time it’s a teamwork. You’re going to be in teams of two, and set a reading goal. Every team that meets their goal by the end of the month will get a prize!” The lunch bell sounded before she could explain any more rules.
As I gathered my things, Liya passed my desk and said, “Teammates ” Since Liya and I shared the same interest in graphic novel(漫画小说), and we took Hindi language class together, we teamed up automatically. I was both relieved and excited to have my team. Then we got to the cafeteria and quickly threw out a bunch of ideas of what to do at our table.
I looked to our third friend Kash, with whom the three of us always do stuff together, “Kash, do you have ideas for us ” “Why would I give you guys ideas ” he said gloomily(阴沉地). “I’ll save that for my team...whoever that is. Now I see how I rank in the friendship lineup.” Kash replied in an angry tone.
I knew he was mad for a reason. If I were him, not only would I think that I ranked last in that group, but I’d also be panicking about what team I could join. But now, I was on the inside and Kash wasn’t. I felt like the only way to fix this would be three people on a team. So, as the teacher walked by our table, I asked for her permission. What surprised me was that she had intended to draw names to assign random groups, but didn’t get a chance to say it before lunch.
Awkward and frustrated, we were stuck in this dilemma. Having first teamed up without Kash didn’t mean we didn’t like him. I knew we—especially I—wouldn’t be able to enjoy any prize if our friend felt bad about being left out. So, I decided to do something to make it up for him and convince Kash he was an equal friend.

My Intelligent Robot for the Elderly
As the population ages, the need for elderly care is increasing. My intelligent robot is designed to provide companionship and assistance to the elderly.
My intelligent robot can chat with the elderly, tell stories, and play music to relieve their loneliness. It also has a monitoring function to detect the elderly’s health status and call for help in case of an emergency. Additionally, the robot can help the elderly with simple household chores such as cleaning and cooking, lightening their burden and improving their quality of life.
I hope this robot can bring more warmth and convenience to the elderly and make their lives more comfortable.
【答案】That night, I was struck by an idea as I read a graphic novel that all three of us liked. Thrilled and inspired, I sprang in front of my desk, racked my brains and started drawing a few scenes of three of us giggling, chattering and enjoying each other’s company like we usually did. On the last page, I wrote, “Dear Kash, you are not the one left behind. Liya and I are so sorry about the way we messed things up.” Pierced to the heart with guilt, I gingerly tucked the paintings into an envelope, hoping this would be an icebreaker.
The next day, I handed my pages of apology to Kash. He took it, looking surprised at the first sight. After he read it, an expression of intense joy illuminated his eyes. Blushed, I broke the silence, “I’m sorry, dude. We should have talked to you.” With her eyes fixed on the floor, Liya came over and apologized in a low voice, “You mean a lot to us.” Hearing her words, Kash shook his head and beamed, “I was way too sensitive.” We exchanged a knowing smile, realizing that sincerity, trust and communication were always the key to clearing up the misunderstanding between friends.
