When I first picked up a fountain pen, I couldn’t understand why anyone would bother with such an outdated instrument. My grandfather’s eyes lit up like a child discovering a hidden treasure. To him, the act of writing wasn’t just about putting words on paper — it was a sacred practice. Writing was about carefully crafting thoughts and communicating them with precision and care. As a teenager in the digital age, I found the leaking ink and the scratchy nib (笔尖) more of an annoyance than anything else.
But my view began to change when I cleaned out his roof space last summer. While sorting through boxes, I came across a wooden box filled with letters — not just letters he had received, but drafts of his own. One letter, written to the local mayor about the closure of a neighborhood park, wasn’t just a list of complaints. Instead, he had captured the scene of elderly men playing chess in the shade, the distant sound of children laughing, and the general peaceful atmosphere of the area. The writing was both elegant and firm, urging the mayor to consider the value of community spaces.
It was then that I understood. My grandfather didn’t write simply to communicate information. His letters were a labor of love and respect, intended to give the reader the time and attention they deserved. He wasn’t writing for quick exchange, as I often did with my text messages, but for lasting impact.
I began using that old fountain pen again. At first, my hand seized up, and I found it frustrating to write at the pace my thoughts raced. But gradually, the slow ink flow forced me to slow down and think deeply about every word. Writing became more than just a task — it became a way of truly reflecting on my thoughts, my emotions, and my words.
4.How did the author initially find using a fountain pen
A.Exciting and creative.
B.Troublesome and messy.
C.Fascinating but pointless.
D.Confusing but acceptable.
5.What caused the author’s change of attitude toward the fountain pen
A.The finding of valuable birthday gifts.
B.The discovery of his grandfather’s letters.
C.The realization of writing’s artistic beauty.
D.The experience of playing chess with elders.
6.What’s the significance of “slow ink flow” to the author in the last paragraph
A.A screen for reflection.
B.A cure for loneliness.
C.A source of inspiration.
D.A symbol of tradition.
7.What’s a suitable title for this text
A.The Art of Handwriting.
B.The Slow Pace of Modern Life.
C.The Letters of My Grandpa.
D.The Wisdom of a Fountain Pen.
In a quiet corner of Oxford University’s Bodleian Library, a robotic arm flips through a 15th-century manuscript, its high-resolution cameras capturing every faded ink stroke. This is ARCHiVE (Automated Robotic Cultural Heritage Inspection and Verification Engine), a 2.3 million project revolutionizing how fragile artifacts are preserved and bining robotics, artificial intelligence, and advanced imaging, ARCHiVE represents a model shift in cultural conservation.
Traditional conservation methods often risk damaging delicate materials. ARCHiVE’s robotic system, equipped with micro-sensors and AI algorithms, can detect cracks invisible to the human eye and predict structural weaknesses before they worsen. “It’s like having a doctor for ancient books,” explains Dr. Emily Carter, lead conservator. Since its 2022 launch, ARCHiVE has scanned over 8,000 items, from Egyptian papyri to medieval maps, with 99.7% accuracy in damage assessment. Its non-invasive approach has reduced physical handling by 85%, significantly lowering the risk of accidental damage.
The project’s digital twin technology creates exact virtual copies, allowing global access to restricted collections. During the 2023 Cairo Museum flood, ARCHiVE’s digital models enabled researchers to virtually “restore” water-damaged artifacts within hours. “We’re not just saving objects,” says Carter, “we’re preserving humanity’s collective memory.” This technology has also democratized access, with over 50,000 digital artifacts now available to researchers and the public worldwide.
However, some scholars argue that over-reliance on technology may distance researchers from hands-on experience. “You can’t smell history through a screen,” protests Prof. James Whitaker, a traditionalist at Cambridge. Others worry about data ownership, as scanned artifacts become digital assets potentially controlled by tech corporations. A 2024 survey revealed that 62% of conservators fear losing control over digitized cultural heritage.
ARCHiVE’s next phase involves 4D scanning, capturing how materials change over time. Pilot tests on Viking ship timbers have already revealed previously unknown construction techniques. Meanwhile, UNESCO is developing global standards for digital heritage, ensuring these technological marvels serve humanity rather than corporate interests. As Carter reflects, “Our ancestors left us these treasures; our duty is to pass them forward — both physically and digitally.”
8.What is the main function of ARCHiVE’s robotic system
A.Repairing damaged artifacts. B.Creating virtual museum tours.
C.Identifying and forecasting damage. D.Selling digital copies of artifacts.
9.How did ARCHiVE help during the Cairo Museum flood
A.By raising emergency funds online. B.By training local conservation staff.
C.By physically moving artifacts to safety. D.By providing digital models for restoration.
10.What is Prof. Whitaker’s main concern about ARCHiVE
A.High operating costs. B.Loss of direct experience.
C.Environmental impact. D.Data ownership concerns.
11.Which of the following would be the best title for the article
A.ARCHiVE: Digital Guardians of the Past.
B.Heritage Conservation: Traditional or Digital.
C.Human Conservators: Why They Still Matter.
D.AI in Museums: Ethical Dilemmas and Solutions.
Buses are the backbone of public transport. Yet in many cities, bus services remain slow, unreliable, crowded, and poorly coordinated (协调不佳的). Older, polluting vehicles further discourage ridership (客流量) and worsen air quality. Electric buses offer a powerful opportunity to cut emissions while improving the quality, reliability, and integration of bus networks worldwide. But this transformation will not happen automatically.
While cars emit the most emissions overall, diesel (柴油) buses release high levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx), which contribute to lung illnesses and secondary pollution. E-buses, in contrast, use energy more efficiently and generate far fewer emissions, even when powered by fossil fuel-based electricity. E-buses also deliver a smoother, quieter, and cooler ride. Most feature air conditioning and low-floor designs that make boarding easier for older adults and people with disabilities. Riders are often willing to wait longer or pay more just for the comfort and reliability of an e-bus.
The major reason why bus service is poor in so many places is related to the economics of public transport. The costs of operating a high-quality service are not well balanced by the revenues (收益) generated by that service. To ensure profitability, many operators reduce their costs by delaying vehicle maintenance, hiring fewer or less experienced drivers, and only serving the most profitable routes. The operator’s decisions, while logical from an economic perspective, lead to lower-quality service.
Luckily, electrification can change these economics. Per unit, the up-front cost of e-buses is still much greater than that of diesel buses given the high costs of batteries, which can be as expensive as a diesel bus. However, the dramatically lower costs of maintenance and lower fuel costs mean that the total cost to operate e-buses is lower than that of diesel.
Also, public transport electrification is highly consistent with numerous high-level government policy aims, including improved energy security, lower demand on foreign currency reserves, and improved air quality and health. Collectively, these are strong factors that drive governments to support widespread bus electrification.
12.Why are e-buses likely to increase ridership
A.They cover more bus routes. B.They provide enhanced comfort.
C.They have shorter waiting time. D.They offer relatively lower fares.
13.What is the fundamental reason for poor bus service
A.Poorly-maintained vehicle. B.Inadequate bus coverage.
C.Cost-income imbalance. D.Insufficient state support.
14.What motivate(s) government support for e-buses
A.The potential for creating more jobs.
B.The strategic advantages of e-buses.
C.A longing to boost the battery industry.
D.Public demand for better transport services.
15.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A.To advocate e-bus adoption.
B.To assess the current bus practices.
C.To predict the trend of public transport.
D.To justify government spending targets.

七、书面表达
62.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。
After graduating from university, I stayed and worked in Tokyo. The work here was extremely busy, with numerous tasks and tight deadlines. Although I visited my family in the USA once a year, I didn’t really give much thought to the changes my aging parents had been going through. Suddenly, my father passed away due to heart disease, leaving only one person behind: my mother.
My mother was a diabetic (糖尿病患者) in her mid-70s, a heart attack survivor with bad knees, and an independent lady whose English was increasingly declining as she grew older and lived alone. Her driving had become less stable, and she fell more often. I suggested she live in a nursing home countless times, but each time she firmly refused. She was very stubborn and unwilling to live with me, let alone with strangers.
I went back to visit her every year to provide companionship, but otherwise could only try to help from a distance. Sometimes my help led to more problems, such as when I arranged to have my mother’s medications mailed to her. This removed the one-hour drive that she had been making for years to a drugstore. As a result, she had to frequently walk unsteadily down her front steps and up a slope (斜坡) to get to her street-side mailbox.
Recently, her health condition worsened. I was extremely worried about her living alone, but I couldn’t afford to hire a full-time caregiver due to my limited income and the high cost of living in Tokyo. Therefore, I contacted the local senior services for light housekeeping services. However, there was a waiting list and it would be months before the services became available.
To my surprise, during the application process, my mother was assigned a social worker named Lori. I was very excited and immediately called my mother to share the good news, but she seemed unhappy. After much persuasion, she agreed to let Lori come and try.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Lori was far more helpful than I had expected.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A month later, I wrote a thank-you email to Lori.

Good morning, respected teachers and dear schoolmates! I’m Li Hua from Grade Two. I’m writing to compete for a member of our school English radio station.
I’m good at oral English and have won prizes in English speech contests. Besides, I once hosted class English activities, so I’m confident in expressing myself smoothly on air. I’m careful and patient enough to finish every broadcast task well.
If I’m accepted, I’ll prepare interesting English articles and design relaxing English music segments to enrich our programmes. I’ll also listen to classmates’ advice to improve our radio shows.
Thank you!
62.One possible version:
Lori was far more helpful than I had expected. Realizing the complexity of my mother’s situation, she made regular home visits and spent a great deal of time carefully figuring out my mother’s needs. When it came to doctor appointments, she not only accompanied her but also made sure all the medical information was properly conveyed and understood. She arranged for a more convenient mailbox and mail delivery. Over time, my mother came to look forward to Lori’s visits. They built a trusting relationship with each other. It was a huge relief for me to see my mother better cared for.
A month later, I wrote a thank-you email to Lori. In it, I thanked her for all the wonderful things she had done for my mother. Soon after, I received her reply. She waved away my gratitude, saying that it was her job. She shared some stories of her time with my mother, and it was evident that she cared deeply about her well-being. She reassured me that she would continue to look after my mother and keep me updated on any changes. I realized how important Lori had become not just to my mother, but also to me. I felt a deep sense of gratitude toward her.
