Steve Clark, 45, a musician from Surrey, battled a fear of swimming for most of his life. As a child, he never took to the water. “It always bothered me. I used to look at people swimming on holiday, and think that I was missing out on the enjoyment of it,” he says.
One bad experience when he was on a business trip in his twenties set Clark back even further. He decided to take a dip in a hotel pool, thinking that it wouldn’t be that difficult. This led to a panic moment after he lost his footing in the deep end of the pool. “I was extremely scared that I couldn’t swim,” he says.
But in 2014 Clark decided to take the plunge — after all, he was “running out of excuses” not to. Helped by the gentle encouragement of his partner, he completed 10 beginners’ lessons. “It was difficult to start with. My main fear was putting my head under the water, but the instructors taught me a technique to help. Once I learnt how to do it, it got me over the fear,” he says. The swimming lessons allowed him to participate in something that always felt impossible.
Clark’s story shows that midlife (中年) is as good a time as any to learn. A study in 2018 by Columbia University found that healthy older men and women can generate just as many new brain cells as younger people.
“We used to think of getting older as a loss: a time when we lose skills and lose our looks. But so much research has shown that losing your abilities is not unavoidable,” says Linda Blair, a psychologist. She explains that learning skills can help to keep our brains young. “The brain is like a muscle, so when you learn something new, you’re exercising it and getting better blood flow to the brain. You’re also reestablishing connections; you don’t have to lose a skill forever, you can regain it.”
24. What initially bothered Clark according to the passage
A．His panic in a hotel pool.
B．His lack of encouragement.
C．His failure in a business trip.
D．His inability to enjoy swimming.
25. What does the underlined phrase “take the plunge” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Accept the fact.
B．Have a go.
C．Avoid the risk.
D．Realize his dream.
26. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A．Being old does not necessarily mean losing skills.
B．People can easily learn new skills at any stage of life.
C．Building up muscles can help blood flow into the brain.
D．Seniors can produce as many new brain cells as youths.
27. What does Clark’s experience show
A．No pains, no gains.
B．Every dog has its day.
C．Practice makes perfect.
D．It’s never too old to learn.
C
Soil, often taken for granted, is emerging as a powerful tool in the fight against climate change. A growing number of farmers around Europe are turning to regenerative farming to improve soil health and earn extra income by selling soil carbon credits. Modern farming practices, including continuous heavy ploughing (耕地) and overuse of chemical fertilizers (肥料), have seriously damaged soil structure and released large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. In contrast, regenerative agriculture helps soil absorb and store CO , a major greenhouse gas, while also improving soil fertility.
Thomas Gent and his family run an 800-hectare (公顷) farm on the border of Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. They stopped ploughing entirely 17 years ago and now grow grass alongside main crops. The improved soil structure allows rainwater to drain (流走) naturally and supports healthier plant growth. “The soil is the foundation of everything we do,” Gent says. “If we look after it, it looks after us.”
Companies like AgreenaCarbon specialize in measuring and confirming carbon stored in soil. Farmers receive tradable carbon credits, each representing one ton of CO locked away in the soil. They can earn between 200 and 300 per hectare per year by selling these credits, creating a reliable extra income stream that supports their switch to greener farming methods. The soil carbon credit market is still in its early stage but expanding fast across Europe, with more than 16,000 farmers in 16 countries having joined such programmes, covering over 1.6 million hectares of land.
Critics warn that the voluntary carbon market risks greenwashing if projects are not strictly monitored and checked. However, supporters believe soil carbon projects bring multiple environmental and economic benefits: better soil health, higher biodiversity, less soil erosion (侵蚀) and measurable climate action. For forward-thinking farmers, adopting regenerative farming and participating in carbon credit programs is not just environmentally responsible — it is also economically rewarding, ensuring the long-term sustainability of their farms.
28. What is the aim of regenerative farming
A．To increase agricultural production.
B．To improve soil health.
C．To reduce the farming cost.
D．To prevent extreme weather.
29. What can be learned about Thomas Gent’s farm
A．It is the largest carbon farm in Europe.
B．It depends heavily on chemical fertilizers.
C．It has given up traditional ploughing for years.
D．It earns most of its income from carbon credits.
30. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3
A．Extra incomes of European farmers.
B．Development of soil carbon credit market.
C．Popularity of greener farming methods.
D．Functions of soil carbon storage companies.
31. What can be inferred about the soil carbon credit market
A．It is strictly monitored globally.
B．It disturbs traditional market.
C．It mainly serves large enterprises.
D．It faces both support and criticism.
D
Artificial general intelligence (AGI) refers to an information processing tool with high generalization (一般化) capability that approaches or reaches human intelligence. Artificial superintelligence (ASI), by contrast, goes beyond human intelligence in all aspects and is regarded as a life-like being that could develop autonomous awareness, making its thoughts and actions potentially difficult to understand and less controllable. While we hope ASI will be beneficial, the uncertainty of its nature causes concern.
ASI cannot be compared to any previous technological tool, as its potential for independent cognition (认知) presents an unprecedented (前所未有的) challenge. If its goals are inconsistent with human values, even minor mistakes could lead to serious consequences. Therefore, safety must be the top priority in its core design. Safety lines should not be lowered over concerns that they may affect model prehensive assessment is needed to identify potential dangers and strengthen safety.
Typical security issues can be dealt with through technical cycles, but the long-term challenge lies in keeping ASI within human expectations. Current approaches adding human values through feedback will likely prove ineffective for superintelligence. Given that ASI may develop self-awareness, the ideal vision is for it to learn right from wrong by itself, instead of just obeying orders. Risks can only be minimized when AI develops from ethical compliance (伦理合规) to possessing genuine morality.
Humanity must prevent AI development from becoming an arms race. Creating the first superintelligence might not require international cooperation, but ensuring it is safe for all humanity will require global cooperation. The UN’s 2025 initiatives to establish scientific dialogues on AI governance (管理) deserve further deepening. Nations with advanced AI bear greater responsibility to prevent irresponsible development without rules.
China advocates building a community with a shared future in cyberspace and has proposed the Global AI Governance Initiative, emphasizing development and safety. These initiatives deserve global adoption. Finally, it is better to proceed cautiously, building a solid safety foundation, than to pursue quick success that might lead humanity into a dangerous situation.
32. What’s the key difference between AGI and ASI
A．Limits of human thinking ability.
B．Methods of information processing.
C．Functions of daily intelligent tools.
D．Levels of intelligence and self-awareness.
33. What’s the author’s attitude toward the long-term challenges of ASI security
A．Doubtful.
B．Approving.
C．Negative.
D．Concerned.
34. Why does the author mention the UN’s 2025 initiatives
A．To prove the existence of ASI.
B．To highlight China’s leading role.
C．To stress the need for global AI cooperation.
D．To criticize the slow pace of AI governance.
35. What is the best title for the text
A．ASI control: Speed over safety
B．ASI development: Better slow than sorry
C．Global ASI governance: United or divided
D．Future ASI risks: Cooperation over competition
七选五
Since early 2025, when DeepSeek shocked global capital markets, I have felt a growing sense of unease as a journalist. AI has made my work easier and sharply boosted my writing efficiency. But that has also given me more time to think: ___36___
My answer is this: I am able to experience the world firsthand with my eyes and ears. ___37___ It cannot walk into a disaster zone, smell what lingers (逗留) in the air, or hear what silence says.
In July, days of heavy rain led to destructive floods. I stepped into the homes of those affected where I felt the unpleasant smell trapped inside a closed home after two full days underwater. ___38___ He, with faint optimism, told me, “If the home is damaged, we rebuild it. Life has to go on.”
I have begun to share more stories of those whose lives are often ignored. ___39___ But I hope when we look back one day, we can still remember what happened, who was swept into the waves, and how easily their fate was turned like a page.
I once heard a widely shared sentence: When you look back at your old social media posts and find them foolish, it means you have grown. ___40___ In a future being reshaped by AI, what we may need most is to remove the digital masks, and return to a self that is real, even clumsy (笨拙的) at times so that we can become the more clear-eyed versions of ourselves.
A．Will AI replace me
B．What can I still do that AI cannot
C．I came across a retired serviceman in his 60s.

Josh, my brother, and I failed to understand the ___43___ until the affair of the scarecrow (稻草人).
The story started with a pretty hat Mom got as a gift. She ___44___ getting rid of the new hat but neither could she stand wearing it for fancy decorations. Stuck in her frugal (节俭的) ___45___, she took the hat to the attic. Soon she appeared with a ___46___ smile, a straw-filled flour bag in her hand and the ___47___ on it, planning to make a scarecrow. However, the scarecrow lacked a solid body and was far from ___48___.
Suddenly an idea struck Josh. We rushed to the attic, picked broken umbrellas as its ___49___ and covered it with old sheets from Mom’s ___50___. Then we ___51___ the handmade scarecrow deep in the field, full of hope. As expected, drawing on the scarecrow’s effective ___52___, the birds were scared away and we ___53___ a fine harvest. While celebrating our harvest, Mom’s words kept ringing in our minds. In her opinion, useless goods can gain a new life with ___54___ thoughts.

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。
Daryl, a gifted hound (猎犬), always sticks to his routine before starting work. He puts on his equipment, stretches briefly and takes a seat. Then his partner holds out a shoe for him to smell. As an important member of the search and rescue team, Daryl counts on his sensitive sense of smell to finish tracking tasks.
On a hot summer day, this six-year-old dog was given a critical task. A 13-year-old boy named Cody had been missing for more than three days. He was trapped in a wooded ravine (沟壑) far from the town. Without food and water, he was faced with serious danger.
Several days before, Cody went out on his skateboard (滑板) as usual. When he approached the ravine, he lost his balance and fell down the sharp hillside. He hit his head and passed out. After regaining his senses, he struggled into the deep shade inside the ravine to escape the extreme heat. It was nine hours before people noticed his disappearance.
The moment his family realized something was wrong, they called the search and rescue team immediately. The team launched a big search across the area, yet they didn’t check the distant ravine. On the third day after Cody went missing, people spotted his skateboard by a road, which pointed them to the hidden ravine. The local hounds were poor at tracking old smells, so people turned to Daryl for help.
Daryl performed excellently in hot weather and woods, and he was expert at picking up faint smells left days before. He was definitely the ideal choice. The boy’s family handed over one of his shoes with a strong smell. Daryl was equipped with his harness (搜救专用背带). Ready to go to work, he smelled the shoe and heard that magic word: Find!
注意：
1．续写词数应为 150 词左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Daryl was off, down the 15-foot drop (陡坡), the team members sliding down behind him.

The team pulled back the bushes Daryl barked at and found Cody was badly hurt.

A Wonderful Campus Mini Marathon
Last Friday, our school held a campus mini marathon, which attracted nearly all students.
Before the race, teachers gave us safety tips. When the starting whistle blew, all runners set off at once. Along the track, volunteers offered water and cheers. Some classmates kept running even when tired, encouraged by peers’ shouts.
This activity taught me the true meaning of persistence. No matter how hard the journey is, sticking to the end brings great pride and joy.
六、读后续写范文
Daryl was off, down the 15-foot drop (陡坡), the team members sliding down behind him. The thick bushes blocked the path, but Daryl never slowed down. He kept sniffing the ground, his tail swinging wildly to signal the trail was clear. Every few minutes, he paused and raised his head to catch faint scents floating in the hot air. The team followed closely, wiping sweat and pushing branches aside. After walking for nearly half an hour deep in the woods, Daryl suddenly stopped and began barking loudly at a thick clump of bushes.
The team pulled back the bushes Daryl barked at and found Cody was badly hurt. His head wound still oozed blood, and he was weak from three days without food and water. Rescuers quickly gave him clean water and bandaged his injury. Cody weakly stroked Daryl’s head to thank him. Later, Cody was sent to hospital and recovered soon. Everyone praised Daryl for his sharp sense of smell and loyalty. This experience made all of us realize how valuable search and rescue dogs are to human lives.
