The first time I visited Germany with my friend, I was very young and hadn’t been to many places. Instantly we arrived, I had an incredible thought. “I know all about this area, especially the food and the language. I know all about the Black Forest.” I said to his German family. “How do you know about this ” they asked, in disbelief.
That was the first time it had hit me how much I knew about the rest of the world, and how prepared I was for it, just from growing up in New York City — that I had been everywhere before I’d ever actually gone anywhere.
I grew up in the Chelsea Projects. Most kids there were first generation Americans with immigrant parents who were still speaking Chinese or Portuguese, or just name a language, and they were speaking it. You ate every imaginable food from the rest of the world there. You were exposed to all different kinds of traditions.
It wasn’t just that. The whole city was a classroom. All over town, you learned stuff you didn’t even know you were learning. You didn’t have to be rich to learn it, either. My mom was a teacher and she made sure I got involved in everything New York had to offer people who didn’t have any money.
We went to all the museums, which were free back then. We’d ride the bus to Lincoln Center and watched dancers dancing there. Or we’d take the train to Coney Island. Those trips are among my fondest memories.
New York City shaped who I am. It’s where I learned that I could pursue whatever I loved, but that I couldn’t be a slacker (偷懒的人). The city is everything you’ve heard it is. It’s crazy, it’s awesome, it’s magnificent. It’s a real live wire, hard to leave.
24. What is the author’s inner reaction to arriving in Germany
A．A sense of total confusion.
B．A doubt about the food.
C．A concern about the language.
D．A feeling of deep familiarity.
25. What does the “Chelsea Projects” experience mainly bring about
A．The author’s desire for traveling.
B．The author’s pride in his hometown.
C．The author’s struggle with poverty.
D．The author’s early global awareness.
26. Why does the author mention the trips to museums and centers in paragraph 5
A．To showcase the richness of urban life.
B．To stress the value of mother’s guidance.
C．To prove the city’s role as a free school.
D．To record the author’s childhood hobbies.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Traveling Far for New Sights.
B．Growing Up in a Traditional Family.
C．Moving Out for Better Education.
D．Learning Big in a Wall less Community.
C
We live in a time of growing anxiety and fear. As AI becomes more capable and widespread in daily routines, anxieties surrounding it are likely to intensify. Just like any form of anxiety, it’s important to acknowledge your feelings and take steps to avoid becoming overwhelmed.
Psychologists suggest several specific strategies for managing anxiety about generative AI. These include: trying out AI tools to figure out how and where they can be useful; taking breaks from technology to restore and recharge; building new skills; and pursuing activities that activate human creativity and imagination.
I would like to expand on the third strategy — building new skills. In a recent study, my colleagues and I investigated the skills required to succeed in the future of work. We reviewed six studies and identified 10 key skills: cooperation, communication, creativity and innovation, critical thinking, cross-cultural ability, decision-making, judgment, willingness to learn, problem-solving, and social intelligence cognition (认知). Importantly, all these skills are “human” skills, meaning not digital or technological. In their context, perhaps one of the most effective responses to anxiety about AI is focusing on developing our own human abilities.
While researchers argue that the destructive potential of AI in the workplace involves one of three channels: replacing aspects of human work; complementing (补充) or enhancing human workers and their skills; and creating new tasks for workers, the second might be the best path forward. Rather than viewing generative AI only as a threat, it can be seen as a tool that enhances human abilities.
Exploring how our own cognitive and creative capacities could be enhanced through “cooperative intelligence” with generative AI might be a useful cure-all to being anxious about it.
28. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1
A．AI tools replace traditional jobs.
B．AI progress causes emotional stress.
C．AI systems require complex routines.
D．AI research faces growing resistance.
29. What does the author imply in paragraph 3
A．Digital skills ensure future success.
B．Human capacities remain highly valuable.
C．New technology changes research methods.
D．Social intelligence improves work efficiency.
30. What does the underlined word “cure-all” in the last paragraph mean
A．Solution.
B．Material.
C．Principle.
D．Instrument.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To analyze AI’s rapid development.
B．To illustrate people’s anxiety over AI.
C．To offer us advice to meet AI challenges.
D．To inform us of the threats presented by AI.
D
Chaotan One, the world’s first commercial power generator that uses supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2), has begun operations in China. This achievement breaks a century-old tradition of using steam for power generation, marking a major improvement in efficiency.
Over the years, the steam engine’s efficiency was further improved through different designs and fuels; however, the medium for doing work remained the same — steam. Scientists seeking further improvements noticed that a significant part of energy is wasted in generating steam to drive turbines (涡轮机). Water needs to be boiled first and undergo a state change, which leads to energy loss.
To maximize efficiency, researchers have been looking for a better medium to replace steam. They found supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) in CO2. Unlike water, it can be easily pressurized at relatively low temperatures and remains in a supercritical state throughout the entire process. With no state change loss, it offers a more flexible and powerful alternative for modern energy systems.
In this supercritical state, it exhibits the properties of both a liquid and a gas — a unique combination that allows it to move a turbine with less resistance while providing greater “push” power. The power generation process begins by pressurizing it into this state, after which it passes through a heat exchanger to absorb heat, reaching temperatures of 400-600℃. It then enters a turbine and expands rapidly, transforming thermal energy (热能) into mechanical energy to generate electricity.
The success of the Chaotan One will likely start a new era in power generation. By using CO2 as a medium and bypassing the need to transform water into steam, this technology offers a cleaner and more efficient path for the future. As this breakthrough becomes more widespread, it may eventually replace the traditional steam-based systems that have dominated the industry since the Industrial Revolution.
32. What does Chaotan One’s breakthrough suggest
A．A new energy has been discovered.
B．The use of traditional fuels has ended
C．Power generation efficiency is redefined.
D．Steam-based systems are environmentally safe.
33. What is the author’s attitude toward the traditional steam-based system
A．Pessimistic.
B．Objective.
C．Appreciative.
D．Doubtful.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about Chaotan One
A．The working principle.
B．The technical partnership.
C．The physical components.
D．The historical background.
35. What can we expect of the Chaotan One technology in the future
A．It will speed up the Industrial Revolution.
B．It could take the place of traditional fuels.
C．It may transform water into a cleaner medium.
D．It might lead to a change in the power industry.

My friend James did some first-aid training at work last week to learn the fundamentals of CPR and he asked if I’d ever done the same. Yes, I’ve attended several CPR sessions over the years. And I’ve always come away with a wealth of information. But no, I don’t exactly feel “trained” to save lives. ____36____ Here’s what I should have done — and what you can do now — to make sure any training doesn’t go to waste.
Test yourself before you start. You might be surprised to find that you’ve got some foundations of knowledge to build on. ____37____ It puts you in a “hungry” frame of mind.
Write questions as you learn. Don’t waste time making notes. This can trick your memory into thinking that your brain doesn’t have to work because the information is all stored in your notebook. Instead, list your questions for the future. ____38____
Challenge your recall later. Wait a day, then see how much you still know. If it’s hard to remember, you might experience “desirable difficulty” — you need that little bit of struggle to move information into permanent storage.
____39____ Put a note in your diary to test yourself again in a week, then ten days after that, then a month on… Use the questions you wrote on the day to keep challenging yourself.
Talking to James has inspired me to book myself onto yet another CPR course. ____40____ Remember that it’s the next day when the real training starts.
A．Make your notes afterwards.
B．Keep coming back over time.
C．Pre-testing sparks your curiosity.
D．But this time I’m determined to do it right.
E．This approach makes your brain work harder.
F．I’ve always taken it seriously and been focused.
G．Practically nothing has ever made it to my long-term memory.

Before I walked back in, I took the time to look over the grassland behind my home. There were hundreds of fireflies flickering. Each time their ____49____ came on, I smiled. It was so amazing that such little ____50____ could produce so much light. I stood there in ____51____.
____52____ the flickering fireflies made me think of the light each of us ____53____ inside ourselves. Often it flickers and is not steady or even very bright. Yet, every time we shine it, we grow a little brighter. And every time we share the light, we can flash the light in others to ____54____ as well.

67. 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。
Every morning, Emily stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her hair, smoothing her blouse, checking her face one more time. “Do I look fine ” she would ask herself again and again. At school, she felt unconfident. Not like Daisy, who wore stylish clothes and laughed loudly in the hallway. Not like Ben, who answered every question loudly, casually and confidently. “Why can’t I be more like them ” she thought to herself.
Last week, the school announced the annual speech contest themed “Find Your Voice”. Emily’s heart jumped. She had written poems in secret for years. This could be her chance to make her voice heard.
Still, she hesitated. She watched Daisy sign up with a smile and Ben with a confident wave. No one else seemed afraid. That night, she opened her notebook and read her own poems over and over again. Her voice was soft, but the words felt sincere. The next day, she took a deep breath and added her name to the list.
The night before the tryout (试演), she practiced in her room. “I believe…” she began…, then stopped. With her hands trembling, she tried again, but her throat tightened.
On the day of the tryout, she arrived early. One by one, the students performed, speaking confidently, loudly and even humorously. Then it was her turn. She stood up, and the room went quiet. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out. Her hands shook with her face burning. She whispered, “Sorry,” and ran out.
In an empty art room she sat on the floor, head in her hands. “Hey.” She looked up. It was Miss Chen, the drama teacher. “Tough moment ” she asked, sitting beside her.
Emily nodded, eyes wet, “I wanted to say something real…but I froze.” Miss Chen smiled gently. “Sometimes the quietest voices have the most to say.” She added, “Your voice deserves to be heard.”
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Miss Chen took Emily’s notebook and read through it.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear fellow students,
It is a common phenomenon that many senior 2 students are under great pressure, thus developing many unhealthy lifestyles. Some stay up late studying while skipping breakfast. Others bury themselves in books all day without taking exercise. These bad habits harm our bodies and lower study efficiency.
To change the situation, we should balance study and rest. We’d better sleep for eight hours daily and take 30-minute exercise regularly. Besides, eat healthy food instead of junk snacks.
Let’s take action right now to build a healthy lifestyle and grow up healthily.
Yours,
Li Hua
六、读后续写范文
Miss Chen took Emily’s notebook and read through it. She nodded repeatedly, saying Emily’s poems were full of gentle true feelings that moved her deeply. She told Emily soft voice didn’t mean weakness; sincerity mattered most. They practiced every afternoon after class. Miss Chen taught her slow breathing skills to calm nerves and encouraged her to read poems aloud little by little. Gradually Emily stopped trembling and dared to express herself naturally. She regained courage and decided to take part in the official contest.
The next afternoon in the classroom, Emily stood before her fellow classmates. Her heart beat fast at first, yet she recalled Miss Chen’s words and took a deep breath. She read her poem slowly and sincerely. The whole room fell silent, then warm applause burst out the moment she finished. Smiles spread across her face. She finally realized everyone owns unique valuable voice and never needs to feel ashamed of being quiet.
