二、完形填空
When I first joined the school’s photography club, I never expected it to ___16___ the course of my life. Mr. Hale, the advisor, was a quiet man with a warm smile, carrying a well-worn camera that seemed to ___17___ more stories than any textbook. Back then, I was an uninterested sophomore, struggling to ___18___ my place in high school — grades were average, and I had no hobby to ___19___ my dull days.
One drizzly afternoon, Mr. Hale took us to a community garden. “Photography isn’t just framing shots,” he said, handing me a camera. “It’s about ___20___ beauty others miss.” I pointed at a wilting rose. When I pressed the shutter (快门) , he whispered: “Try to ___21___ the light — the mood it ___22___ .” His words struck me; I’d never thought of light this way.
Weeks later, I submitted a photo of a street musician to a contest. It didn’t even make the shortlist. I felt despair and almost ___23___ the club. Mr. Hale found me, held up my photo, and said: “This ___24___ his passion. That’s what ___25___ — not winning.” His words ___26___ me from giving up. I focused on the stories behind frames, not awards.
By senior year, my photos were displayed in the school library. A local newspaper ___27___ one of my works about neighborhood elders. When I told Mr. Hale I’d study photography in college, he smiled: “Never ___28___ what you love.”
On graduation day, I gave him a photo I’d taken secretly — him watching kids chase butterflies. He said softly: “You’ve ___29___ the art of seeing with your heart.”
Now a photography student, I often think of that rainy afternoon. Mr. Hale taught me to ___30___ the world with curiosity, to ___31___ hidden stories. Every time I press the shutter, I hear his voice: “Good photos reveal your soul.”
A single hobby, guided by the right person, can ___32___ a life. I was drifting, but photography gave me a compass. I’ll always be ___33___ to Mr. Hale, who taught me to chase light.
Last month, I returned to the garden. The rose bush bloomed bright. I took a photo, sent it to him, and wrote: “Still chasing light.” He replied with a camera emoji. Some connections, like photos, never ___34___ their meaning, no matter how much time passes. A girl with a camera asked for help. I smiled, just like Mr. Hale, and said: “Let’s start with the light.” Maybe one day, I’ll ___35___ that gift too.

三、阅读理解
A
France is globally celebrated for its profound art heritage, and its national museums serve as top tourist landmarks for international travelers. The Louvre, Musée d’Orsay and Centre Pompidou, three symbolic museums in central Paris, accept the same national preferential ticket while setting independent single-ticket and group charges. Learning these rules can help tourists cut down unnecessary costs and skip lengthy queues at the entrance.
All state-owned French museums carry out universal age discount standards. Any visitor under 18 years old can enter for free regardless of nationality. Non-European visitors between 18 and 25 are qualified for low-priced youth tickets. EU citizens under 26 enjoy permanent free admission all year round. Besides, disabled visitors can take one accompanying assistant into the museums without extra payment.
Each museum has its unique pricing standards for adult visitors:
The Louvre charges 17 euros for a full single ticket, and the youth ticket for foreign young people costs 14 euros. It closes every Tuesday. Groups consisting of over 15 adults can buy group tickets at 12 euros per person.
Musée d’Orsay’s full adult ticket is 16 euros, with a 12-euro youth discount ticket. It offers late opening until 21:45 every Thursday for visitors who avoid crowded daytime hours and remains closed on Mondays. Groups of more than 15 adults only need to pay 10 euros each.
Centre Pompidou, a museum for modern arts, sells full tickets at 14 euros and youth tickets at 10 euros. A yearly joint pass covering all three museums costs 48 euros per person and allows unlimited visits within 12 months. For groups above 15 adults, each visitor pays merely 9 euros.
Tourists buying discount or free tickets must bring official identity certificates to prove their age. Flash photography is banned in all exhibition halls to protect oil paintings and sculptures from light damage, yet tourists can take photos without flash for personal use. Large backpacks cannot be taken into display areas and need to be stored in free lockers. Food and drinks are forbidden inside exhibition rooms.
36. How much will a 24-year-old Japanese student spend on a single ticket to Musée d’Orsay
A．10 euros.
B．12 euros.
C．14 euros.
D．16 euros.
37. On which day cannot tourists pay a visit to the Louvre
A．Sunday.
B．Monday.
C．Tuesday.
D．Thursday.
38. A group of 20 adult tourists plan to visit Centre Pompidou once. How much money can they save totally by buying group tickets instead of full-price single tickets
A．80 euros.
B．100 euros.
C．120 euros.
D．140 euros.
39. Which of the following is permitted in museum exhibition areas
A．Taking non-flash photos for personal memory.
B．Recording videos of famous artworks.
C．Eating snacks while appreciating paintings.
D．Carrying big backpacks into display rooms.
40. What is the main idea of this passage
A．To introduce world-famous art collections in three Paris museums.
B．To compare the different art styles of three Parisian museums.
C．To present universal national discount rules and separate ticket policies of three French museums.
D．To advise tourists to visit museums on Thursday evenings to avoid crowds.
B
Normally I pass my morning commute absorbed in a book, headphones on. I miss a lot of what’s going on around me, but my reading hours are so limited and my “Books Read in2025” list is so embarrassingly short that I give up presence to get a couple of chapters in.
On a recent day, however, I kept my book in my bag and made a game of looking at the people around me and imagining what their voices sound like. This game isn’t really fun, as games go, but it keeps me occupied, noticing, engaged with the world rather than ignoring it.
In his poem “Everything Is Waiting for You,” David Whyte addresses the fundamental error of assuming separateness from everything and everyone else. “As if life were a progressive and cunning crime/ with no witness to the tiny hidden transgressions (越界).” He advises the reader to become alert. “You must note/ the way the soap dish enables you, or the window latch grants you freedom.” The ordinary items around us are animate (有生命的) in his reading of the world. And not only that — they’re likely to look on us favorably, to enable us, free us.
My retreat into books while on the train is only partly about getting reading done. It’s also about shutting out distraction, because I think that whatever is happening around me is disturbing, at the very least extraneous to my central purpose, which is getting from A to B.
Sitting and just being in space with strangers, instead of retreating into a book or a phone, sometimes requires a mental shift. Who and what else is here What if these noise-canceling headphones are keeping me from hearing the actually quite charming voices of the people beside me If I want to feel more connected to other people, then what’s protective isn’t always productive.
Or, as Whyte instructs, “Put down the weight of your aloneness and ease into the/conversation.”
41. Why does the author usually bury herself in a book during her commute
A．To catch up on reading.
B．To improve her public image.
C．To observe strangers secretly.
D．To make the commute feel shorter.
42. What does David Whyte seem to think of the world in his poem
A．A test that challenges us.
B．A presence that supports us.
C．A stage where we perform alone.
D．A place where we make mistakes.
43. What does the underlined word “extraneous” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Irrelevant.
B．Dangerous.
C．Unusual.
D．Essential.
44. What does the author encourage readers to do
A．Keep to yourself and avoid small talk.
B．Escape into books and block out noise.
C．Listen to inner thoughts and reflect on them.
D．Put down the headphones and tune in to others.
45. What can we infer from the author’s experience of giving up reading on the commute
A．She found the game of imagining voices extremely interesting.
B．She realized that being engaged with the world is meaningful.
C．She decided to stop reading books during all her daily trips.
D．She felt disturbed by the noises from the people around her.
C
Claims that artificial intelligence (AI) borders on human intelligence have become commonplace. Some believe that rapid advances in large language models signal “superintelligence” will fundamentally reshape society. However, this comparison misses something essential about what human intelligence is.
Research shows that human intelligence emerges from processes like shared language, cultural communication, cooperation and progressive learning across generations. AI systems, by contrast, do not cooperate or form social bonds. They process information separately, responding to prompts without awareness, intention or accountability.
Human intelligence is also included. Our thinking is shaped by physical experience, emotion and social interaction, which ground abstract reasoning later in life. AI lacks this grounding. Language models learn statistical patterns from text, not meaning from lived experience. They do not understand concepts in the way humans do.
Advocates of AI progress often point to the vast amounts of data used to train modern systems. Yet this data represents a remarkably narrow slice of humanity. Around 80% of online content is produced in just ten languages, while over 7,000 languages are spoken worldwide, with only a few hundred represented online. Training AI on such a data set means building in the perspectives, assumptions and biases (偏见) of a relatively small portion of the world’s population. Human intelligence, by contrast, is defined by diversity. Eight billion people contribute to a shared cognitive (认知) landscape. AI does not have access to this richness, nor can it generate it independently. The data on which it is trained is based on a highly biased sample.
None of this is to deny that AI systems are powerful tools. Used carefully and with oversight, they can be socially beneficial. But usefulness is not the same as intelligence in the human sense. AI remains narrow and dependent on human input, evaluation and correction. It does not form intentions, participate in shared reasoning or contribute to the cultural processes that make human intelligence what it is.
Until machines can participate in that social, embodied and ethical dimension of cognition — and there is no evidence they can — the idea that AI will exceed human intelligence remains more promotion than insight.
46. What can be inferred about human intelligence in paragraph 2
A．It progresses at a slow pace.
B．It develops from individual learning.
C．It features collective wisdom.
D．It shows more advanced ability than AI.
47. In paragraph 3, the author primarily contrasts human and AI learning in terms of _________.
A．the source of understanding
B．the lessons of lived experience
C．the speed of data processing
D．the concepts of abstract reasoning
48. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that _________.
A．Expanding text databases will completely eliminate AI’s data biases
B．Online information from ten languages covers most human culture
C．The huge population guarantees no prejudice in human cognition
D．Most human languages fail to get fully recorded on the Internet
49. What mainly contributes to the bias in AI training data
A．Repeated text patterns.
B．Inaccurate online content.
C．Limited language range.
D．Uneven geographical coverage.
50. What is the author’s attitude towards the idea that AI will exceed human intelligence
A．Approving.
B．Doubtful.
C．Cautious.
D．Unconcerned.
D
Humans once opposed coffee and refrigeration. Here’s why we often hate new stuff.
Humans have a habit of deliberately delaying their own progress. From coffee to mechanical refrigeration to genetically altered food, history is littered with innovations that caused resistance before they become fixtures in everyday life. But the past 600 years of human history help to explain why humans often oppose new technologies and why that pattern of opposition continues to this day. Calestous Juma, a professor of Harvard University, explores this phenomenon in his latest book, Innovation and Its Enemies: Why People Resist New Technologies.
Among Juma’s claims is that people do not fear innovation simply because the technology is new, but because innovation often means losing a piece of their identity or lifestyle, and separating people from nature or their sense of purpose—— two things that are fundamental to the human experience.
Juma identified in his research three key sources of opposition to innovation: those with commercial interests in existing products, those who identify with existing products, and those who might lose power as a result of change. The first group is perhaps the most obvious. Many industries have been disrupted by innovation. Just take a look at the pointless efforts of music publishers to stop the shift to digital music. Some consumers might oppose an innovation because the existing product is deeply rooted in their identity, culture or customs. Britons preferred tea time at home to sitting in a coffee shop, for example. Finally, the emergence of new technologies can also result in a shift in economic and political power, redistributing wealth and influence away from some groups, and toward others. The expansion of tractors （拖拉机） and other mechanical equipment reduced the need for farm labor, and the shift in population away from rural areas had significant political implications.
Humans make decisions about new innovations with their instinct rather than evidence. Opponents and enthusiasts of a new technology will often make shocking claims to support their arguments. Sometimes these claims are rooted in fact; other times they are not. People once claimed coffee could make you sterile （不育的）. Juma said beneath those arguments was typically an instinctive fear of new technologies, rather than a reasoned response. “People react intuitively, and they collect the evidence to support what they’re doing,”Juma said. “They see a new product and there is an emotional reaction to that product because it challenges their outlook on the world. This has been the story with almost every new product.”
Historically, technologists have been more concerned with the functionality of the products they create, paying less attention to the implications it may have on society at large, Juma contends. Fortunately, that may be starting to change.
51. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 probable mean
A．is in favour of
B．is full of
C．encourages
D．is held back
52. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that Juma’s book_____.
A．explores why history often repeats itself
B．focuses on the impact of technology on nature
C．analyzes the role of technology in social progress
D．researches the recurrence of a certain phenomenon
53. Which of the following statements is correct according to Paragraph 4
A．A successful technological innovation can affect population flow.
B．British people have a strong sense of independence.
C．Opposition to innovation is mainly caused by loss of cultural identity.
D．Young people prefer digital music to traditional recordings.
54. In Juma’s opinion, people’s resistance to new technologies_____.
A．is a natural response
B．is not based on fact
C．arises from fear of challenges
D．reflects their prejudiced view of the world
55. It is implied in the last paragraph that technologists should give more consideration to_____.
A．the functionality of new products
B．the social usefulness of new products
C．the potential danger of new products
D．the social influence of new products

Eleven-year-old Ruby Kate has long been close to older folks. Her mother, Amanda Chitsey, works at nursing homes in northwest Arkansas, and Ruby Kate often goes with her in the summer. “I’ve never found them scary at all, so I’m able to just go up to them and ask if they need anything,” she says.
Last May, Ruby Kate noticed a resident named Pearl staring out a window. She seemed sad. “What are you looking at ” Ruby Kate asked. Pearl said she was watching her dog being led away by his new owner after a visit. Pearl didn’t know when she would see her dog again.
Ruby Kate and Amanda asked around and discovered that the nursing home didn’t allow residents to have dogs and Pearl couldn’t afford to pay anyone to look after hers. The Chitseys also learned that many nursing home residents are unable to afford even the smallest luxuries. So Ruby Kate decided to do something about it.
She started by asking residents what three things they wanted most in the world. “That’s a lot simpler than going, ‘Hey, what do you want ’” she explains. “They can understand you better.” Amanda worried that people would ask for cars and other things an 11-year-old wouldn’t be able to provide. Instead, they asked for chocolate bars, McDonald’s fries, pants that fit properly, and even just a prayer.
“It broke me as a human,” Amanda says. “We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many items as we could.” Using their own money, the Chitseys granted the wishes of about 100 people in three months.
Then they started asking for donations, set up a GoFundMe page, Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents, and raised more than $250,000 in five months. One of their new goals is to set up a communal laptop in one nursing home in each state.Ruby Kate doesn’t plan to stop there. “I consider kindness to be my hobby,” she says, “and I’m very good at it.”
56. What makes Ruby Kate have a close relationship with older people (No more than 10 words)

57. Why was Pearl’s dog taken away from her (No more than 15 words)

Dear Organizing Committee,
I am writing to recommend the Traditional Handicraft Workshop for our theme activity Cultural Inheritance and Innovation.
This activity will be held in Classroom 506 from 18:30 to 20:30 on Friday, May 16. Professional craftsmen will come to give us patient guidance, and we can create handicrafts by ourselves on the spot.
I choose this activity for two reasons. First, making traditional handicrafts lets us experience the charm of traditional culture in person, which helps us inherit our culture. Second, we can combine modern creative ideas with traditional skills while making works, realizing cultural innovation.
I sincerely hope you can take my advice into consideration.
Yours,
Li Jin
