WALK FOR GREEN
How often do you walk around the campus instead of getting straight onto the shuttle bus The beauties of our campus deserve to be better explored and can best be explored on foot. Walking is also greener and healthier compared with buses. To encourage more students and staff members to walk around the campus, our school has launched a new “Walk for Green” programme.
Programme
Setting out from the MTR Station, “Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building. Card readers for different walking routes have been installed (安装) to record the number of points completed by “Walk for Green” participants. Participants who collect 60 points within 30 days will be awarded the title “Green Walker”.
Participation
To participate, students and staff members are supposed to select a pre-set route, and tap their school cards at the card readers installed at both the start and end points. Name, student/staff ID, department/unit, date, time and card readers tapped will be recorded.
Walking Journey Points
Important Notes:
1. Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards) within one hour to score points.
2. Up to six points will be awarded each day.
Every time you take a walk on campus, you are helping to protect our environment and also keeping yourself healthy. Let’s start from today!
1. Where does “Walk for Green” start
A. YIA Building. B. MTR Station. C. LWS Building. D. LSK Building.
2. What are participants required to do
A. Collect at least 6 points. B. Keep a fixed speed.
C. Choose a marked route. D. Complete a round trip.
3. How many points do you get by walking from YIA Building to LWS Building
A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 6.

Normally I pass my morning commute (通勤) 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 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 (躲避) 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.”
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. What does the underlined word “extraneous” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Irrelevant. B. Dangerous. C. Unusual. D. Essential.
7. 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.
C
Ace, an autonomous robot powered by AI, cutting-edge sensors and an extremely flexible eight-joint arm, can play table tennis under official competition rules and has defeated elite human competitors. It is the first machine ever to achieve such excellence in this physical sport.
Computer intelligence first made breakthroughs in intellectual games like chess. In 1997, the AI Deep Blue defeated world chess champion Garry Kasparov, a landmark event for artificial intelligence. Now Ace’s remarkable performance shows physical sports are entering their own similar revolutionary moment.
Peter Dürr, leader of the research team behind Ace, points out that games have long been vital benchmarks (基准) for AI development, from Deep Blue in chess to AlphaGo in Go. Yet all those early AI achievements were limited to online virtual environments. Ace marks a major breakthrough, as it can compete evenly against real-world skilled human table tennis players in authentic athletic matches, a totally new achievement never seen before.
Three core technological strengths account for Ace’s outstanding ability. It adopts event-based sensors to spot subtle changes in motion and light, precisely tracking the fast-flying ball. It gains skills through model-free reinforcement learning, building up ability from massive simulated (模仿的) training experience instead of fixed playing models. Besides, its high-speed hardware gives it amazing agility: human athletes need about 230 milliseconds to react, while Ace’s latency is merely around 20 milliseconds.
At present, Ace still has an industrial appearance and relies on external camera systems, but researchers aim to develop it into a humanoid robot in the future. In organized matches, it defeated most top amateur players and even won single games against professionals. It shows unique strengths like reading hidden ball spin and grasping untrained skills naturally.
The team keeps upgrading Ace’s performance continuously. It has defeated many world-ranked professional players in recent tests. Experts believe future upgrades will enable it to outperform world champions. Meanwhile, the robot’s special playing techniques also offer new creative inspiration for human top athletes to improve their own skills.
8. What is one fundamental difference between Ace and previous AI systems
A. It takes games as important benchmarks to develop.
B. It competes with humans in real physical sports matches.
C. It relies on fixed playing models to learn new skills.
D. It beats all professional players in competitive games.
9. The underlined word “reinforcement” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ________.
A. enhancement B. concentration C. adjustment D. innovation
10. What can be inferred about Ace from Paragraph 5
A. Its overall playing level has gone beyond amateur limits.
B. Its future design will totally get rid of external equipment.
C. Its special talents are gained from targeted professional training.
D. Its physical form has already adapted to human daily sports.
11. What is the best title of this passage
A. The History of AI in Competitive Sports Games
B. AI Robot Ace Won Its First Table Tennis Game
C. AI Beat Human Beings in Both Chess and Table Tennis Games
D. Table Tennis-playing Robot on Track to Becoming World Champion
D
Imagine you have to design a new society from scratch. You can decide how wealth, power, and opportunities will be distributed. But there is a catch: you do not know what position you will end up in. You could be rich or poor, talented or disabled, a member of any race or religion. This is called the veil (面纱) of ignorance, proposed by philosopher John Rawls in 1971.
Rawls argued that if people reason behind this veil, they would choose two main principles of justice. First, everyone should have the most extensive basic liberties, such as freedom of speech and assembly. Second, social and economic inequalities are allowed only if they benefit the least advantaged members of society and if everyone has a fair chance to compete for better positions.
Why would rational (理性的) people choose these rules Rawls believed that the veil of ignorance forces us to be unbiased. Since no one wants to end up at the bottom, we would design a society that protects the vulnerable (脆弱的). Even the rich and powerful would agree, because behind the veil they might be born into poverty.
Critics offer several objections. Some say the veil is unrealistic—people do not make decisions without knowing their own identity. Others argue that Rawls’s theory ignores the value of effort and risk-taking. If the least advantaged are always protected, why would anyone work hard or innovate
Defenders respond that Rawls does not forbid inequality; he merely limits it. A doctor can earn more than a cleaner, but only if that higher salary encourages doctors to work where they are needed, and only if the cleaner still has a decent life.
The veil of ignorance remains one of the most influential ideas in modern political philosophy. It asks a simple but powerful question: if you didn’t know who you would be, what kind of world would you want
12. What is the primary function of the veil of ignorance
A. To hide the final outcome of one’s decision. B. To eliminate biases by hiding one’s position.
C. To guarantee equal wealth and power for all. D. To ensure the freedom of speech and assembly.
13. What do we know about Rawls’s view on inequalities
A. They should be ruled out completely. B. They harm the interest of the disadvantaged.
C. They can exist on certain conditions. D. They restrict people’s basic rights.
14. The critics mentioned in paragraph 4 would most likely agree that Rawls’s theory _____
A. weakens people’s enthusiasm for hard work.
B. describes how real world laws are made.
C. overestimates the rationality of human beings.
D. gives too much freedom to the wealthy and powerful.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the veil of ignorance
A. Indifferent. B. Favourable. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.

阅读下列短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Hotels do not price rooms in the same way a shop prices a lamp or a suitcase. ____16____ The same room in the same building can be worth very different amounts depending on the day, season, and local demand. A beachfront hotel in summer is operating differently from the same room during a quieter month. Even weekends and weekdays can produce different patterns, depending on the type of traveller the hotel attracts.
Then what actually causes prices to move Several factors shape hotel room rates, sometimes all at once. Demand is the obvious one. Booking window also matters. Some travelers book months in advance, while others leave it until the last minute. ____17____ If rooms are selling earlier than usual, rates may increase sooner. If there is unexpected availability closer to arrival, prices may be adjusted again. Competition plays a role too. ____18____ If similar nearby properties are filling up, or charging more, that affects how a hotel positions its own rates.
Nowadays, many properties rely on hotel management software to make pricing more responsive. Rather than guessing or checking rates occasionally, these tools help hotels analyse booking trends, monitor market signals, and update pricing in line with real demand. ____19____ It means hotels are using better information to make better decisions. Instead of relying on instinct alone, they can react to changes in occupancy, pace, and market conditions more confidently.
Understanding how hotel pricing works can make booking decisions feel less frustrating. Travelling outside peak periods, avoiding major local event dates, or booking earlier can all help. It also helps to compare dates rather than looking at one night in isolation (孤立状态). ____20____
A. Hotels do not operate in isolation.
B. Hotels track these patterns closely.
C. A room’s value depends heavily on timing.
D. If a room goes unsold tonight, that money is gone for good.
E. Hotels are under pressure to respond faster and more accurately.
F. This does not mean prices are invented at random by a machine.
G. A small shift in travel plans can sometimes lead to a much better rate.

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
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。
Jane had a deep affection for birds. Every morning, she scattered (抛撒) seeds in her backyard and whispered, “Good morning, my little friends!” To her, their songs sounded like cheerful laughter, and she often laughed along with them.
However, her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, didn’t share her joy. He was constantly annoyed by the birds that flew into his yard. “They’re too noisy!” he complained. “And they make such a mess in MY yard!” His sharp words made Jane feel quite uneasy, yet she refused to give up on her feathered friends. She firmly believed that every small creature deserved care.
One morning, Jane discovered a small sparrow (麻雀) shaking under the fence. One of its wings looked bent at a painful angle. Filled with worry, Jane carefully picked it up and named it Pip. She placed him in a small, warm basket in a safe corner right next to the fence.
A week passed. Pip was getting better but still unable to fly. One afternoon, while Jane was feeding Pip by the fence, Mr. Thompson shouted from his side, “You’re just asking for trouble!” Jane gently lifted Pip in her hands so Mr. Thompson could see him through the gaps in the fence. “Look, Mr. Thompson. Pip’s wing is hurt.” Mr. Thompson cast an impatient glance at the tiny creature. For a moment, his frown (皱眉) softened. “That wing...” he said softly, almost to himself.
Just then, Jane’s mother called her from the driveway, saying they were leaving for a family visit. Jane waved a quick goodbye to Pip and hurried to the car. However, on their way home, a heavy storm broke out. Watching the trees shaking in the strong wind, Jane felt very worried about Pip, who was left all alone in the yard. The moment they pulled into the driveway, she dashed toward the backyard, calling Pip’s name.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Recently, our school’s English newspaper conducted a survey on high school students’ career aspirations.
As the chart shows, 40% of students set their sights on tech careers like AI and big data, 38% are drawn to emerging jobs such as streamers and bloggers, while only 22% stick to traditional careers like doctors and teachers.
Personally, I aspire to become an AI engineer. The booming tech industry not only offers promising job prospects and generous salaries but also aligns perfectly with my passion for coding and innovation. I am eager to develop cutting-edge technologies that can solve real-world problems, and I believe this career will let me realize my personal value while making meaningful contributions to society.
【答案】
To her horror, the basket was empty. Jane’s heart sank as she frantically searched the yard, her voice trembling with fear as she called Pip’s name. Tears welled up in her eyes as she imagined the worst, fearing that Pip might have been blown away by the storm or hurt by the falling branches. She knelt down, scanning the ground for any sign of the little sparrow, her hands shaking as she picked up twigs and leaves.
At this moment, Mr. Thompson appeared with Pip. He held the sparrow gently in his hands, his expression a mix of concern and embarrassment. “I found him hiding under my porch,” he said, his voice softer than usual. “The storm was too strong for him.” Jane rushed over, tears of relief streaming down her face as she took Pip back. She looked up at Mr. Thompson, her eyes shining with gratitude. “Thank you.” she whispered, her heart overflowing with joy and newfound respect for her neighbor.
