【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
The next morning, Kwan took several wrapping cloths to school. During art class, his heart raced, knowing Mrs. Gibbs would eventually call on him. Just as he hoped time might run out, he heard his name. Kwan walked to the front, his face flushed. Taking a deep breath, he carefully unfolded the cloths, and the vibrant patterns immediately caught everyone’s attention. Encouraged by their interest, Kwan began to explain the cultural meaning behind the patterns. For a moment, there was silence, but instead of teasing, curious hands shot into the air. “This must have taken forever to make!” one student exclaimed. Another added, “You`ve got serious talent, Kwan.”
Paragraph 2:
As Kwan listened to his classmates, he noticed his forehead no longer felt hot. His initial unease had vanished as their sincere compliments reached him. They even asked him to teach them embroidery. The class soon turned into a workshop with Kwan guiding them how to stitch. Some wanted to use the special cloth to carry their lunch, but soon realized they needed practice if they didn’t want their sandwiches ending up on the sidewalk. “Folding these cloths is another talent,” Mrs. Gibbs laughed as her own cloth came undone. Embracing the moment, Kwan realized that sharing his craft wasn`t something to be embarrassed about — it was a way to connect with others and to share a meaningful part of his culture.福建莆田第十中学2025-2026学年高三上学期期中英语试题

A chef named Korean Draper finds her culinary (烹饪) comfort zone. Draper, who grew up surrounded by cooking, didn’t consider a career in the food industry until she left her previous job to care for her mother and a newborn baby. During this period, she spent much time on cookbooks, Food Network shows, and food experiments, forming a deep connection with food that later shaped her professional path. When ready to re-enter the workforce, she set non-negotiable criteria for her new job: It’d have to involve food and people.
Draper initially secured an office role at a corporate catering (餐饮) company near her home outside Philadelphia. However, when she stepped in to assist the kitchen during a period of operational pressure tied to workforce limitations, her boss recognized her potential and offered a permanent shift to culinary work. Starting with simple tasks like salad preparation, she quickly advanced to more complex dishes, fueled by a passion she describes as “a burning fire” once lit. Balancing work and learning, she signed up for culinary classes — an opportunity she’d previously thought unattainable — and rose to the position of general manager.
Fifteen years into her role, Draper wondered if she should try a new career. Yet, no alternative satisfied her as deeply as cooking. A chance introduction to a family seeking a private chef opened a new chapter. Unaware of this special area in the food industry, she began planning meals, grocery shopping, and cooking in clients’ homes, uncovering a need for tailored culinary solutions among busy or uninterested cooks. Using her website Korea’s Kitchen, she expanded her client base, eventually moving from private homes to a church basement kitchen and specializing in family meals and catering.
Driven to grow her business, Draper sought her own kitchen space, a goal achieved through networking. In her new venue, she hosts tastings, cooking classes, and catered events. Today, as a leader of an eight-person team, she remains rooted in her core mission: connecting people through food.
24. What do we know about Draper from paragraph 2
A. She considered food career early. B. She ignored her family needs.
C. She had clear new job requirements. D. She lacked cooking experience.
25. Why did Draper go to help the kitchen while working in an office
A. She wanted extra income. B. A staff shortage occurred.
C. Her boss demanded it. D. She sought promotion.
26. What made Draper feel the demand for personalized culinary services
A. Clients’ strict diets. B. A family’s request.
C. Food industry trends. D. Her website feedback.
27. What can we learn from Draper’s career story
A. Education guarantees success. B. Family limits one’s career.
C. One’s skills beat one’s planning. D. Passion drives new growth.
C
Beneath the quiet surface of a forest lies a busy network scientists call the “Wood Wide Web”. Far from being isolated individuals, trees communicate, share resources, and even send warnings through an underground system of fungi (真菌).
The key players in this hidden conversation are mycorrhizal fungi. These thread-like organisms connect tree roots, forming vast networks. Research from the University of British Columbia reveals that up to 90% of land plants depend on these fungi. Through this interdependent relationship, trees exchange nutrients like carbon and nitrogen. Older “mother trees” often act as hubs, sending extra sugars to younger saplings struggling in shaded areas — a phenomenon called “forest family connections”.
When under attack, trees release chemical signals. A 2023 study in Nature Ecology & Evolution demonstrates that acacia trees (金合欢树) bitten by giraffes produce ethylene (乙烯) gas. Nearby trees pick up these chemical signals from the air within minutes and increase tannin (鞣酸) production, making their leaves bitter and less tasty. Similarly, pine trees attacked by beetles send out warning signals through fungal networks, pushing neighbors to boost defensive resins (树脂).
Not all interactions are cooperative. Some plants, like the ghost orchid, hack the network to steal nutrients from nearby trees without offering anything in return. Other species, such as black walnut trees, release toxins (毒素) to restrain competitors — a strategy called “biological warfare” by ecologists.
Understanding this “social network” challenges traditional views of forests. Logging dominant mother trees can collapse entire ecosystems, much like removing servers from the Internet. Scientists now advocate for selective cutting practices that preserve fungal networks, ensuring forests’ resilience (适应力) to climate change.
As author Peter Wohlleben notes in The Hidden Life of Trees, “Forests are super-organisms with intelligence we’re just beginning to decode.” This silent dialogue beneath our feet reminds us that nature’s deepest conversations often happen without a single word.
28. What method do acacia trees use to warn nearby trees of giraffe feeding
A. Producing defensive resins in bark. B. Transmitting electrical signals through roots.
C. Releasing a warning gas into the air. D. Increasing sugar distribution via fungal networks.
29. What does “biological warfare” refer to in paragraph 4
A. Using chemicals to kill insects. B. Releasing poisons to contain competitors.
C. Fighting for sunlight through height. D. Stealing nutrients via underground roots.
30. Why should mother trees be preserved according to scientists
A. They attract diverse wildlife species. B. They offer young trees nutrients.
C. They battle against climate change. D. They maintain ecosystem stability.
31. What’s the main idea of the text
A. The defensive strategies of trees. B. The cooperative interaction between trees.
C. The important role of mother trees. D. The hidden communication among trees.
D
The growing interaction between humans and artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping a new way of thinking, known as System 0. This new cognitive framework exists outside the human mind and works as an external “thinking assistant”. System 0 works alongside the two established models of human thought: System 1, which is fast, intuitive (直觉的), and automatic, and System 2, which is slower, more analytical, and reflective.
Just as an external drive allows us to store data that are not present on the computer and work anywhere by connecting to a PC, AI — with its powerful data-handling capabilities — functions as an external cognitive circuit that enhances human brain capacity. Hence the idea of System 0, which is essentially a form of “external” thinking that relies on the capabilities of AI.
By managing enormous amounts of data, AI can process information and provide suggestions based on complex algorithms (算法). However, unlike intuitive or analytical thinking, System 0 can perform calculations, make predictions, and generate responses without truly “understanding” the content of the data it works with.
The integration of System 0 into human cognition raises some concerns. One of the most pressing ones is the potential damage to our critical thinking and reasoning abilities. If we blindly trust the output of System 0 without questioning it, we risk losing our ability to think independently, leading to a weaker capacity for innovation and creativity. At the same time, it is important to acknowledge the potential benefits of System 0 in increasing our cognitive capabilities and addressing complex challenges that may be beyond the capacity of human intelligence alone.
Despite the polarized visions on the topic of the evolution of AI, we recommend that this revolutionary system be the object of a deep, shared reflection on how we plan to integrate it into the future of human thought. To ensure that AI remains a tool to enhance — rather than decrease — our cognitive autonomy, clear boundaries must be established.
32. What is the main function of paragraph 1
A. To explain how AI impacts daily routines. B. To introduce a new cognitive framework.
C. To compare three human thinking systems. D. To analyze AI’s role in decision-making processes.
33. Which statement captures the essence of System 0
A. It seeks profound meanings in data. B. It pioneers analytical thinking methods.
C. It enhances human cognition externally. D. It makes intelligent decisions independently.
34. What is the author’s tone carried in paragraph 4
A. Objective. B. Indifferent. C. Aggressive. D. Dismissive.
35. What will the follow-up paragraph most probably talk about
A. Moral dilemmas in human-AI integration. B. Potentially promising prospects of System 0.
C. Technical challenges in sharpening System 0. D. Specific guidelines on using System 0 critically.

There is a growing trend in medicine: doctors are prescribing time in nature to their patients to address a wide variety of physical and mental health concerns. These “nature prescriptions (处方)” aren’t just feel-good recommendations. ____36____
Scott Kaiser, MD, a director of geriatric cognitive health at the Pacific Neuroscience Institute, is one of these doctors. “Nature has a profound impact on healthy aging and overall well-being,” he explains. “There are several factors in healthy aging—diet, exercise, mindfulness, community, creativity and a sense of purpose. ____37____ I can’t overstate how powerful nature can be as a healer.”
Here are some common ways of natural healing. “Sensory walks” are an easy way to get started. Dr. Kaiser advises walking mindfully through nature while focusing on all five senses, paying attention to what you can see, smell, hear, touch and even taste. “Leave your gadgets at home,” he adds, “so you can be undistracted and really experience it all.”
Another prescription gaining popularity is cold therapy. ____38____ Immerse yourself in water that feels uncomfortably cold and stay there for 30 seconds to a minute. Most people start with water that’s about 10℃ to 15℃, though some go colder as their tolerance increases.
____39____ Try simply walking for 15 minutes in the early morning. Sunlight exposure boosts vitamin D, crucial for overall health. And getting early morning sunlight in your eyes will help refresh you.
Other simple prescriptions include gardening, hiking, biking or swimming. And if active pursuits feel like too much, even just sitting outdoors on a park bench can help, as it may improve your immune system and lower the risk of cancer. ____40____ Nature prescriptions can also lower stress, depression and anxiety while improving cognitive function.
A. The benefits extend beyond physical health.
B. But doctors suggest that it requires gradual adaptation.
C. This practice involves exposing yourself to cold water.
D. You’ll immediately be happier, healthier and more productive.
E. If that sounds too intense, nature offers gentler alternatives, too.
F. Instead, they’re evidence-based interventions backed by science.
G. Being outdoors can provide access to all of these at the same time.

Kwan’s Secret Talent
“Kwan, isn’t that your art teacher ” his grandmother said, pointing at a woman walking out of the grocery store.
Kwan waved, and Mrs. Gibbs walked over to him and his grandmother. “It’s very nice to see you,” Mrs. Gibbs said. Then she saw the cloths wrapped around the groceries Kwan and his grandmother were loading into their car. “Oh, how beautiful!” she exclaimed.
“Thank you. These are our hometown wrapping cloths,” grandmother explained. “Kwan and I embroidered (刺绣) them together.”
Kwan looked away. Although he enjoyed helping grandmother make the cloths, he didn’t want anyone at school to know about it.
“Kwan, you should bring your cloths to school tomorrow. Your classmates would enjoy seeing them. You have a unique skill,” Mrs. Gibbs said.
Kwan appreciated his teacher’s comments, but he was hesitant. The kids might laugh at the idea of a boy who liked to stitch (缝) patterns with a needle and thread. He thought about his grandmother’s wide smile that showed how proud of him she would be for sharing this custom.
“O.K. I’ll bring some to class tomorrow,” Kwan replied quietly.
Grandma sensed that something was wrong. “Kwan, are you worried about tomorrow ” she asked.
Kwan stared at the floor. “What are the other kids going to think ” he said. “This isn’t the kind of thing they do for fun. Creating embroidered patterns isn’t like playing an instrument or a sport.”
“You’re right,” Grandma said. “It is different. But that is why it is so special.” Then she brought out a fine cloth with different designs. “When your grandfather and I were married, we received a gift from his mother wrapped in this cloth she made. In our culture, gifts given in wrapping cloths are extra special because they are a symbol of love and good luck.” she explained.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；

The next morning Kwan took several wrapping cloths to school.

As Kwan listened to his classmates, he noticed that his forehead no longer felt hot.
