三、阅读理解(本题共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分)
A
①More researchers are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor the environment and support endangered creatures. Unlike traditional methods that can damage the environment or require considerable (相当多的) time and physical work, AI has the ability to quickly and effectively deal with large quantities of data (数据). Let’s learn more details together.
②Creatures are disappearing at a speed thousands of times faster than that millions of years ago, with one million creatures endangered. The United Nations set a goal in 2020 to safeguard at least 30% of Earth’s land and oceans by the end of 2030. “AI is imperfect but could make important discoveries faster and earlier.” says Nicolas Mialhe, founder of The Future Society, an organization that aims to better manage AI. “We need skilled humans to design AI models and check and collect data.”
③A type of AI model called a convolutional neural network (CNN) has been developed to recognize bird sounds. The CNN is able to pick out 75 kinds of the birds the researchers have. “Our results prove that AI is ready for recognizing creatures in the wild from sound.” says Maller, the team leader. “All that is needed now is more training data collected by humans.”
④Besides monitoring creatures in real time, AI can be used to model the impacts of human activities on the environment and rebuild historical changes. Researchers have used AI to discover how a century’s environmental damage in a river has led to creature loss.
⑤Although it is well-known that human activities have resulted in creature loss in rivers and lakes, little is known about which activities have the largest impact. “AI will do soon,” says Luisa Orsini, a researcher from the University of Birmingham.
26. What can we infer from the words Nicolas Mialhe’s and Maller’s said
A. AI models can be designed by everyone.
B. AI models have already developed perfectly.
C. AI’s ability needs CNN to discover and achieve.
D. AI’s ability is much greater than what people imagine.
27. The meaning of the underlined word “impacts” in Paragraph 4 is the closest to ______.
A. effects B. chances C. secrets D. purposes
28. What is the structure of the article
A. ①②③/④⑤ B. ①②/③④⑤ C. ①②/③④/⑤ D. ①/②③④⑤
29. Which of the following is true according to the article
A. AI is only used in monitoring the environment and support endangered creatures.
B. Researchers have already prevented a century’s environmental damage in a river.
C. Creatures are disappearing faster than before with one million creatures endangered.
D. AI has spent more time dealing with large quantities of data than traditional methods.
B
How many times would you keep trying, even if you failed again and again Jose Hernandez kept trying 12 times over 12 years until he finally realized his dream of becoming an astronaut.
Hernandez was born in Mexico. He lived a difficult life when he was young. As the son of a migrant (移居的) farmer, he had to work on different farms to make a living. He traveled with his parents and helped them pick vegetables, following the growing seasons from Mexico to the farmlands of California in the southwestern United States. As a result, he faced challenges in learning English. But he found balance in other subjects, particularly in math and science, because two plus three is five in any language. So he became interested in engineering when he was really young, inspired by his love for numbers and logic. Then, at the age of nine, when he watched TV and saw the astronaut walk on the moon’s surface in the Apollo lunar mission, he had his real dream of becoming an astronaut.
When he shared his newfound dream with his parents, they sat him down at the kitchen table and told him some keys to success: a clear goal, an understanding of the steps to get from where you are to where you want to be, hard work, education and most importantly, heart. With their support, Hernandez worked tirelessly to achieve his dream. Years later, he graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering and later earned a higher degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Hernandez’s educational career finally met some of the requirements to become an astronaut. So he sent his first application to NASA. Then he started receiving one rejection (拒绝) letter after the other, 11 times in total.
But he never gave up. He looked at the skills that the selected (选定的) astronauts had and that he didn’t. He learned to fly and dive, developing the skills he was short of. Finally, in 2004, his efforts paid off. He was selected as an astronaut by NASA.
After years of training, Hernandez’s dream came true when he flew on the Space Shuttle Discovery in 2009. Just as he said, “Everything is possible in life when you are willing to work hard, plan, and not give up.”
30. What can we know about Hernandez’s childhood
A. He refused to work on farms.
B. He had difficulty in learning English.
C. He couldn’t pay for his school education.
D. He wasn’t interested in math and science.
31. The underlined word “tirelessly” in Paragraph 3 shows that he worked with ______.
A. great patience B. much pressure C. clear purpose D. few breaks
32. Which is the correct order of the following events about Hernandez
a. He watched the Apollo lunar mission on TV.
b. He graduated with an Electrical Engineering degree.
c. He started to work on farms with his parents.
d. He was selected as an astronaut by NASA.
A. c→a→b→d B. a→c→d→b C. c→b→a→d D. a→b→c→d
33. What can we learn from this passage
A. Success depends on good family support.
B. Wasting time means achieving nothing.
C. The difficulty brought the family together.
D. Anything is possible with a strong heart.
C
Scientists have come up with a new way of identifying (识别) animals in an area—by testing DNA in the air. The researchers believe their new method could help scientists keep track of (跟踪) animals that are hard to spot, including endangered animals.
Two teams of scientists—one in Denmark and one in the United Kingdom-came up with the same question at about the same time: Could they identify the animals in an area from DNA that was simply floating in the air
Every living thing has DNA that can be used to identify it. They leave bits of DNA behind them wherever they go. DNA left behind like this is called “environmental” DNA, or eDNA.Scientists can use it to tell what kinds of animals are in a certain place.
①______. But most of the time, scientists look for eDNA in water. Neither team knew that the other group was working on a similar experiment. One collected samples from different locations at Denmark’s Copenhagen Zoo, and the other at Hamerton Zoo Park in the UK. The scientists used slightly (稍微) different methods to collect their samples. But basically, both teams used vacuums (真空吸尘器) and fans to collect tiny bits of DNA.
In the laboratory, by comparing their samples with examples of DNA from different animals, the scientists were able to identify many different animals at the zoos.
The scientists chose to test in zoos because they had rare animals not naturally found in the area. Each team only discovered about the other experiment after they had written a paper about their own results. The two decided to combine(合并) their results and publish a paper together.
Both teams are excited about the ways this new method could be used in the wild. The researchers believe the method could help scientists a lot. Scientists have been looking for better ways to track endangered animals without interfering (干扰) with them. If researchers know where the animals live, they can do a better job of protecting them. The next step is to figure out how to take this method into nature.
34. What is the primary purpose of using eDNA according to the article
A. To prevent DNA of animals from floating in the air.
B. To attract rare animals to zoos for better protection.
C. To identify animals by testing DNA found in the air.
D. To save endangered animals away from all the diseases.
35. Which of the following is TRUE about the two teams of scientists
A. They knew each other very well before.
B. They found more rare animals for zoos.
C. They worked together to publish a paper.
D. They used quite different methods to collect DNA.
36. Which sentence is suitable for ____①____
A. It happened at different countries
B. Testing for eDNA isn’t a new idea
C. Bits of DNA is too small to see in the air
D. The scientists didn’t have high hope for the experiment
37. What is the article mainly about
A. Proper ways of studying rare animals.
B. Differences between DNA and eDNA.
C. Challenges of protecting endangered animals.
D. The eDNA Testing for Animal Identification.

Have you ever noticed those warm, memorable moments that make your heart feel full Like when a parent hugs you tightly, looks into your eyes with kindness, and says, “I take great pride in you!” __38__. Then she stops what she’s doing and looks at it with you, sharing your wonder. As for scientist Barbara Fredrickson, these tiny moments aren’t just happy memories, they’re where love happens between parents and children. __39__
Fredrickson once believed all positive feelings worked the same way, but her studies changed her mind. She discovered that parental love is special and unique. It’s not just about laughing together at a funny movie or enjoying ice cream on a hot day. __40__ with which you can feel safe, understood, and deeply cared for.
Through studying families, Fredrickson learned that these loving connections shape children’s lives in amazing ways. When parents and kids share positive moments like reading bedtime stories, solving puzzles together, or even wiping away tears, they create a “bonding superpower.” __41__ For example, a child whose parents listen patiently to their worries learns to care for friends in need.
Most importantly, Fredrickson found that love isn’t about grand gestures. It’s built through small, everyday acts: a high-five after a soccer game, a silly joke during homework time. __42__ So next time your parent ruffles your hair (挠头发) or cheers for you at a school event, remember-it’s not just a moment. It’s science-backed magic shaping who you’ll become!
A. Without parents’ care, a child may lose confidence in his life.
B. These small acts teach children how to love others and themselves.
C. Or when you excitedly point at the moon, shouting, “Look, Mom!”
D. And her research shows they’re far more powerful than we might think!
E. More importantly, true love between parents and kids is about connection.
F. This is good for children’s growth, especially for interpersonal relationships.

七、阅读与回答问题(本题共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容回答问题。
The Stage, directed by Chen Peisi, is a wonderful historical comedy(喜剧). It tells the story of a Peking Opera troupe (巡演剧团) trying to survive during the chaotic (混乱的) age in the early 20th century. The film follows Hou Xiting, the troupe leader, as he faces silly orders from a warlord (军阀). The warlord forces them to rewrite the classic play Farewell My Concubine (霸王别姬). With humour and warmth, the film looks at ideas like cultural traditions, care in their art, and the courage of ordinary people in hard times.
What I noticed most was the difference between laughter and sadness. The warlord’s orders—like changing the play’s ending to let the hero live—created funny moments. But this really showed how artists could do little when controlled by others. Chen Peisi’s acting as Hou Xiting was unforgettable. His strong wish to protect his troupe while keeping the true spirit of Peking Opera made me feel both sad and respectful.
The film also nicely shows how important traditions are. Even with continuous threats, the troupe members never give up their work. Their hard work and love for what they do reminded me how valuable our cultural traditions are. The final scene, where they perform the original play in the middle of gunfire, stands for the unbreakable spirit of art. This film aims to remind us to care for and protect our heritage.
In a world where traditions are often forgotten, The Stage is a strong reminder that they are our base. It teaches us that even in darkest times, art’s light can guide us. I’d really recommend this film to anyone who loves stories with a mix of humour, history, and deep meaning.

64. What did Hou Xiting think of the warlord’s orders
