Maya’s dreams were not gentle. They were strong and continuous, unfolding in the blank spaces of her accounting textbooks as broken lines of poetry. The future had already been drafted by her parents: a degree in business, a stable job, security. Her writing was a “pleasant hobby,” a phrase that made her pen feel like a ghost in her hand.
The conflict was not a single conversation but a quiet, constant pressure. Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life that demanded practical things. Maya yielded, studying spreadsheets (电子表格) by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name. That was her real voice, a whispered fight.
Yet, the outside world offered no shelter. The comments on her blog felt like an X-ray. The other writers at the workshops she attended criticized her work with a tone she couldn’t bear. Rejections from magazines carried a sharper pain — they weren’t just rejecting a hobby, but the refined craft she’d worked so hard for!
Then, a moment of recognition struck, though it came with its own cost. A literary journal accepted a story — but requested thorough revisions that would take apart its hopeful ending. For a week, Maya wrestled with it, feeling like refusing. Finally, she rewrote it. The new ending held both love and distance, ambition and sacrifice. It was published.
After that, she began volunteering at a community center, not as a famous author, but as a fellow struggler. She showed teenagers her early drafts, full of red ink and doubt. “The conflict isn’t the obstacle to your dream,” she’d tell them. “It’s the material. Don’t write a fairytale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain.”
Her ink was no longer just for dreams. It was for mapping the risky, beautiful, and completely unique territory of a real life being lived.
4. What was Maya’s inner conflict mainly about
A．Real life and imaginary stories.
B．Stable jobs and personal passions.
C．Parents’ plans and her own dream.
D．Family duties and personal freedom.
5. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean
A．Quiet fight through writing.
B．Public protest through writing.
C．Open resistance through sharing.
D．Passive escape through imagination.
6. What lesson did Maya learn from her submission experience
A．Getting published is easy.
B．Recognition costs money.
C．Success requires sacrifice.
D．Standing your ground is a virtue.
7. What is Maya’s advice to the teenagers
A．Turn difficulty into stories.
B．Choose proper materials.
C．Build castles before dreaming.
D．Dream big and dare to fail.
C
Most young people today have never picked a tomato off a vine (藤蔓), collected eggs from a chicken cage, or understood the work that goes into growing a single head of cabbage. This disconnection from food sources creates a broader disconnection from the environment and the systems that sustain us. Sustainable agriculture education fills this gap by giving students direct experience with how food is grown and harvested.
When the youth engage with farming and gardening, they develop a deeper appreciation for the resources required to produce food. They witness the first-hand relationship between healthy soil, clean water, and nutritious crops. They learn that food production doesn’t happen in isolation but as part of complex ecosystems involving insects, microorganisms, weather patterns, and human labor.
Beyond environmental awareness, students also learn patience as they wait for seeds to come up and plants to mature. They develop problem-solving abilities when facing challenges such as pests, drought, and unexpected weather. They practice responsibility through regular care and maintenance of plants and animals. They experience how individual contributions combine to create collective success. Many students also discover they enjoy and excel at hands-on work, building confidence that might not emerge in traditional academic settings.
When students work with living systems, they witness cause-and-effect relationships that might otherwise remain abstract. Water conservation becomes personal when students must regularly irrigate their plants and can observe the consequences of too much or too little water. Installing rainwater collectors, learning about drip irrigation, or comparing the water needs of different crops can make resource management tangible. Students begin thinking critically about water use, not just in the garden but in their broader lives.
Simply begin by assessing your available space and resources. A sunny corner of a schoolyard, a vacant lot, or even containers can become productive growing spaces. The key is to start with manageable projects that can succeed. Growing easy, fast-maturing crops gives students quick wins and keeps up enthusiasm while they learn fundamental skills.
8. What problem can sustainable agriculture education address
A．The urgent threat posed by climate change.
B．The growing challenges of ensuring food security.
C．Students’ ignorance of environmental conservation.
D．Students’ lack of direct engagement with farming.
9. How does sustainable agriculture education benefit students
A．By improving their physical strength.
B．By boosting their academic performance.
C．By maximizing their personal contributions.
D．By developing their qualities and capabilities.
10. What does “tangible” underlined in paragraph 4 mean
A．Available.
B．Concrete.
C．Flexible.
D．Complex.
11. What does the author suggest on agricultural education
A．Finding a sunny farm.
B．Buying costly equipment first.
C．Waiting for perfect conditions.
D．Starting with accessible projects.
D
Brock Klamfoth, a student from Ohio University, is bringing animatronics to “life”. He is a fourth-year computer science major who works in a research role in the Russ College of Engineering and Technology making animatronics “both physically and digitally.” His passion is evident in two distinct projects.
The first is a little robot parrot named Maxwell that “sings and dances for people”. More than just an entertaining project, Maxwell serves a key educational purpose. According to Klamfoth, Maxwell is mainly aimed at introducing people to robotics and provides an easy and relatively cheap way of learning about the animatronic/robot design and building process.
His main focus now is his senior final project, a humanoid robot head named EVA. It is designed to “copy anything a human head can do”, he says. In its current form, it can move its head, imitate emotions and hold pre-written conversations, but Klamfoth and his team are already deep into the next phase: to use generative AI to allow for completely unplanned conversations, to enhance the eye-tracking so it can identify more than just colors and even to smooth out its jaw movement. To perfect the robot, the team is also building out a “digital twin”. This is a virtual version of the robot that will be connected in real time to the physical one, which makes sure both versions work in perfect harmony.
This hands-on work is crucial for making complex concepts concrete. “Brock’s work brings robotics to life by turning engineering concepts into creative, engaging experiences,” says Kouree Chesser, a Lab and Student Experiences Coordinator who supervises Klamfoth. “His interactive and interdisciplinary approach helps students see how robotics and AI can be applied beyond factories — into classrooms, entertainment, and media — sparking curiosity and showing them that engineering can be both imaginative and impactful.”
Klamfoth’s dream is to make science fiction a reality. He wants to create a more smooth and immersive way for people to interact with technology. “You know robots like C-3PO from Star Wars When Luke walks up to and interacts with him, it’s just C-3PO. It’s no one else,” Klamfoth says of his inspiration. “I want to take that and try to make it happen in our real world.”
12. What is the main purpose of Maxwell
A．To entertain audiences.
B．To show the fun of science.
C．To reduce the cost of making robots.
D．To provide opportunities to learn robotics.
13. Why did the team build a digital twin for EVA
A．To test new AI programs.
B．To cut down on building costs.
C．To copy human head movements exactly.
D．To make both versions work well together.
14. What does Kouree Chesser say about Brock’s work
A．It improves factory equipment.
B．It turns complicated ideas into reality.
C．It focuses only on theoretical research.
D．It makes engineering imaginative and impactful.
15. What does Klamfoth expect to do
A．Bring imagination to life.
B．Apply his robots to more fields.
C．Explore space with robots.
D．Encourage people to be imaginative.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What do Mickey Mouse, the Taj Mahal, Don Quixote, Ferrari and sushi all have in common The answer is that they are all recognizable cultural icons (符号). 16________
We might think our cultural icons represent our country’s uniqueness. However, we often have people from other countries to thank for their existence. Some icons have an international background. Mention the Statue of Liberty and lots of people will immediately think of America. However, it was designed and built in Paris before being shipped to New York. 17_______ For instance, it was French botanist, Carolus Clusius, who introduced the tulip (郁金香) into the Netherlands, where it became the national flower, from Türkiye.
While a nation’s citizens are often unaware of the international roots of a cultural icon, they are also frequently unaware that a few much-loved icons were disliked in the past. 18______ When the tower was completed on 31st March, 1889, it was considered by many to be an ugly addition to the Paris skyline. The kilt (短褶裙) was seen by urban Scots as clothing that was worn by poor agricultural workers. 19 ________Scotsmen view it as an essential item when they want to dress nicely for a wedding or celebration, or even when going to a football or rugby match.
Evidently, many of us need to feel that we belong to a social group. 20_______ By celebrating cultural icons, we not only honor our past but also strengthen our bonds with others, enriching our collective identity in an increasingly globalized world.
A．Cultural icons help us create shared identities.
B．Natural symbols can also have international roots.

第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
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。
Located in Zhengzhou, the Henan Museum is one of China’s most 36 (influence) national-level cultural institutions, home to over 170,000 artifacts that trace the full development of Chinese civilization.
Its iconic main building, with its distinctive pyramid shape, 37 (model) after the 13th-century Gaocheng Observatory, 38 famous Yuan Dynasty astronomical site in nearby Dengfeng. Its bold, timeless design seems to suspend the usual feeling of linear (线性的) time, bridging thousands of years of history in a single glance. A clear 39 (compare) emerges the moment you step inside: the open, non-linear gallery layout is no random modern choice — it is a thoughtful extension of traditional Chinese spatial design principles, 40 (inspire) by the winding, immersive (沉浸式的) layout of classical Chinese gardens.
That said, 41 (plan) a visit can be tricky for first-timers. The museum’s 7 permanent exhibitions are filled with so many national treasures ranging from Shang Dynasty bronzes to Tang Dynasty tri-colored glazed pottery (唐三彩釉陶) 42 it’s easy to feel stressed out before you even enter the first gallery.
43 that stress fades fast once your tour begins. The soft, touching tones of the 8,000-year-old Jiahu Bone Flute, paired with the detailed cloud-and-thunder 44 (pattern) carved into 3,000-year-old bronze ritual vessels (祭祀器皿), make every moment of the visit feel vivid and real. By the end of the tour, you’ll leave with a deep sense of awe for Henan’s status 45 the ancient heartland of Chinese civilization.

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。
When my mom and dad bought their first house on Kendrick Loop, they moved next door to an elderly couple, Frank and Eleanor. Our house was a cute little three-bedroom cottage with a big backyard and a fence between ours and theirs.
That same year in May, I was born. When my parents brought me home from the hospital, Frank and Eleanor were the first neighbors to hold me. Frank came over almost every day to see me and hold me. As I grew older, I would often go over to his yard and accompany him while he worked in his garden. I began to call him Uncle Frank because he was just like family to me. On special occasions like my birthdays and holidays, he always remembered me, arriving at our door with thoughtful presents. On Halloween, he saved delicious candies for me, and at Christmas, he gifted me toy cars, colorful cartoon books, and some handmade wonders he created by himself.
When we moved into a bigger house across the street and five houses down, Uncle Frank was visibly saddened to see us go. Yet, almost every day, he would stop by to visit or wave to us as he rode his bike to the mailbox. In the summer, he often dropped in to see if I wanted to come over for a cold drink and a chat in his garden, where we would pick strawberries while he shared his wonderful stories.
One Tuesday in November, I was walking home from school with my friends when I saw an ambulance racing down our street. It stopped in front of Uncle Frank’s house. Eleanor was in their front yard, waving anxiously. The rescuers rushed inside, and a few minutes later, Uncle Frank was carried out on a backboard. They lifted him over the fence in front of his house, placed him on a stretcher, and hurried him into the ambulance, which sped off to the hospital.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At that moment, I knew something terrible had happened to Uncle Frank.

So I decided to pay a daily visit to the hospital to keep him company.

Parents’ Career Lecture Activity
To broaden students’ horizons and help us know more about various occupations, our school held the Parents’ Career Lecture activity recently.
Several parents from different fields were invited to give lectures. They introduced their working experiences, professional knowledge and career development paths in detail. During the activity, we asked questions actively and communicated with them face to face.
This activity benefited us a lot. It not only enriched our after-school life but also helped us set clearer learning goals and understand the meaning of hard work.
读后续写范文
At that moment, I knew something terrible had happened to Uncle Frank. My heart sank instantly and I was seized by great anxiety. I rushed to Eleanor and comforted her nervously. She told me that Uncle Frank suddenly felt unwell and lost consciousness. Worried about his safety, I prayed constantly for his recovery. After returning home, I couldn’t focus on my study at all. All I could think about was the kind elderly man who had accompanied me through my childhood and treated me like his own grandchild.
So I decided to pay a daily visit to the hospital to keep him company. Every day after school, I went to the hospital with fresh fruits and small gifts. I chatted with Uncle Frank, shared my school stories and recalled our happy old days. My company brought him great joy and courage to fight against illness. Gradually, his condition improved. Several weeks later, Uncle Frank recovered and was discharged from hospital. He was deeply grateful for my consistent company. This experience made me cherish the precious friendship between us and learn to care for the people around us.
