Year-12 student Noah Little has already sat his first Chinese-speaking exam and said it was “the easiest exam I’ve ever done”. That view is not surprising given the Wagga High School student loves language — so much that he has built a Chinese translation app (翻译软件).
Noah said his love of language was encouraged by his community. “Wagga is a place full of people from different cultures, and sometimes when I meet new people who have trouble speaking English, I like to talk to them in their own language,” he said. “I also have a few Chinese friends so I think it will be cool to talk to them in their language.”
The 17-year-old started teaching himself Chinese around five years ago, before taking distance education classes at the start of Year 11. His language ability was also useful in his part-time job at a local Chinese restaurant, where he translated orders for the cooks and customers.
Noah said he also had a basic knowledge of seven other languages. It was while teaching himself languages that Noah got the idea of the translation tool. “I decided to make my own app because there weren’t many around — all the other apps were full of advertisements and the translation function wasn’t powerful enough,” he said.
His app also includes “A Word of the Day” feature, lessons on how to write Chinese characters and a news feed of important Chinese news.
He said learning computer programming (编程) to build the app had been like studying another language. With the end of school around the corner, Noah said he would like to pursue (追求) both his interests in computer programming and languages. “I’m planning to work for a year and save up so I can go on to university as I really want to make a job out of one of these two topics.”
24. What inspired Noah to develop an interest in Chinese
A. The multicultural environment in Wagga. B. His part-time job at a Chinese restaurant.
C. The need to pass school language exams. D. His desire to be a professional translator.
25. What does Noah think of existing translation apps
A. Useful for his exams. B. Popular among visitors.
C. Unnecessary for translators. D. Ineffective in practical use.
26. What can users probably do with Noah’s translation app
A. Chat with native speakers. B. Enjoy fun free advertisements.
C. Read local news in Chinese. D. Get daily Chinese character lessons.
27. What is Noah’s plan after finishing his high school
A. Work to save money. B. Develop more apps.
C. Teach programming. D. Learn a new language.

Did you know that long ago, Singapore was full of wetlands, lakes, and small villages Even today, animals like wild pigs, monkeys, and snakes sometimes enter cities looking for food and shelter. However, this can be dangerous for them, especially on busy roads.
To face challenges like climate change which bring about more extreme weather patterns and increasing urbanization (城市化), Singapore wants to become a “City in Nature” by 2030. It aims to expand the natural park network. The city is finding ways to protect natural spaces. Scientists are creating solutions to help wildlife live safely alongside people. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is key to these ideas.
Animals often cross highways and risk being hit by cars. Experts use technology like cameras and sound devices to study animal movement and decide where to build safe crossings. In 2019, the Mandai Wildlife Group (MWG) built a 140-meter-long bridge over a highway just for animals. Cameras showed that over 100 species used it. MWG also built fences (围栏) to guide animals and rope bridges to help those living in trees move safely.
Singapore is also teaching communities how to keep animals safe. The Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES) receives over 1,000 calls each month to rescue wild animals in cities. “Often, we teach people how to handle the situation themselves,” said Karina Lim from ACRES. “This helps them feel more confident and respect animals more.” Wildlife expert Kiran Sujanani added, “Wild animals are usually shy and scared. If we give them space, they will often leave on their own.”
To live together peacefully, people need to understand why animals come near them and how they behave. Animal welfare groups advise people to do their part to avoid attracting wildlife to their homes. This includes not carrying visible plastic bags in areas with monkeys and storing waste properly. Education is the first step towards change. As one expert said, “Harmony begins with respect.” By learning about animals and respecting their homes, everyone can help protect them. Singapore’s journey shows that with community effort and STEM, people and wildlife can share spaces peacefully.
28. What danger do wild animals face in Singapore’s cities
A. Getting lost out of fear. B. Being hurt on busy roads.
C. Losing their small habitats. D. Failing to find food sources.
29. What is the main application of STEM in protecting wildlife in Singapore
A. Increasing natural parks. B. Designing shelter for urban animals.
C. Teaching people feeding skills. D. Researching wildlife and building crossings.
30. What can be inferred about ACRES’s work
A. It calls for building more animal passages.
B. It focuses on scientific research over direct help.
C. It combines emergency response with community education.
D. It encourages people to watch and learn about wildlife outdoors.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. STEM Improves City Environment. B. Organizations Rescue Urban Animals.
C. Cities Welcome Back Wildlife. D. Singapore’s Ancient Wetlands Return.
D
Each major change in media technology has led to a familiar cycle: a sudden increase of cheap, repetitive content, widespread anxiety about cultural decline (衰退), and — less to be noticed — the gradual rise of new forms of classics. The growing use of the word “slop”, which describes unwanted, culturally polluting, or careless AI-made material, reflects public worries, but it also is connected with older debates about whether new technologies can create classic content.
Negative comments about “too much content” are surprisingly old. In 15th-century Europe, fears appeared with the invention of the movable-typing printing press. Printing made it possible to produce texts quickly and cheaply. Many critics saw these works as shallow (肤浅的) and repetitive. Yet these printed materials expanded access to information and storytelling, shaping the cultural environment that influenced writers like Shakespeare.
The same situation appeared in 18th-century Britain with the rise of Grub Street, an area known for fast, commercial (商业化的) writing. Poorly-paid authors produced whatever sold: political essays, satire, and popular fiction. The term “Grub Street” became a name suggesting low standards and weak writing. Still, this system created new opportunities for writers and helped build a mass reading public. Several respected authors began their careers in this environment, showing that creative value can grow out of unfavourable conditions.
Film history follows a similar path. Early movie theaters produced large amounts of rubbish work, but they also trained actors, directors, and technicians who would later shape modern cinema. The point was not creating artistic masterpieces but rapid production. In this process, excellence emerged indirectly, as a byproduct of scale (规模) and experimentation — just as the Internet and social media birthed low-quality contents but also new kinds of creators.
The current AI changes this cycle by making content creation extremely cheap while placing a heavier burden on audiences, who must struggle to decide what deserves attention. The real task, therefore, is not to turn down all AI-made work, but to learn how to recognize what is meaningful. If we look beyond the noise, today’s overload may still include the early signs of tomorrow’s amazing ideas.
32. What does the word “slop” reflect
A. Confidence in new classic forms. B. Fear over cheap AI-made content.
C. Doubt about improved media technology. D. Satisfaction with low production costs.
33. What’s Grub Street’s positive role
A. It made high writing standards. B. It raised writers’ payment levels.
C. It developed wider reading groups. D. It inspired many new writing forms.
34. What does the underlined word “emerge” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Exchange. B. Lose. C. Appear. D. Demand.
35. What is the key challenge brought by AI content creation
A. Keeping human creativity. B. Identifying valuable works.
C. Improving traditional content production. D. Reducing audiences’ pressure on Internet use.

The post-vacation syndrome (节后综合征) brings most students psychological (心理的) discomfort and difficult focus. This can last a few days, a week, or up to 15 days. Here are some tips that will help you manage it.
16
After a long vacation, it is necessary to plan the schedule. The perfect goal is to fulfill your schedule 100%. However, you must be practical. Be able to change during the first weeks and do not “overschedule”. Your mind and body need time to get used to the daily work again.
Start with small goals.
Starting with small tasks will allow you to achieve small goals. 17 It’s important to break down big goals into small daily or weekly goals to push you to keep going.
Make your space free from distractions (使人分心的事).
It’s time for you to avoid being distracted during your study time. Rearrange your study area, put it in order, and avoid wasting hours on mobile phones. 18
Maintain leisure (休闲) activities.
19 You can do it a few days before to adapt schedules, routines and even diet. During the first days, it will also help you to maintain some leisure activities. Sport, for example, will help reduce stress, and release muscle and mental tension.
Rest to be more productive.
It is likely that, during your vacations, you have slept in a disorderly way. 20 One way to adapt is to go to bed earlier and progressively advance the wake-up time.
A. Keep away from all activities.
B. Start slow with your schedule.
C. Experts recommend not returning suddenly to studies.
D. You will feel satisfied with what has been completed.
E. To return to normal, you need regular and enough sleep.
F. Accept the end of holidays and face the new term positively.
G. Remember that it takes about 25 minutes to refocus after a distraction.

Fifteen-year-old Leo had always lived in the shadow of words. Born with a stutter (口吃), he measured every sentence like a climber checking each rock on a wall. At school, he kept quiet, afraid that one slipped sound would turn him into a joke. His classmates called him “Silent Leo,” and the nickname stuck like gum on his shoes.
One March afternoon, Mrs. Jenkins announced the annual School Talent Show. “We still need a host to introduce the acts,” she said, scanning the room. Normally, Leo would have stared at his desk, but this time his pencil rolled off the desk and dropped on the floor. As he bent to pick it up, his eyes met a bright-yellow poster: HOST NEEDED SHINE ON STAGE! The words burned inside him like tiny stars.
That evening, Leo sat in his room practicing tongue twisters (绕口令) in front of a mirror. “Peter... Peter p-p...,” he sighed, cheeks burning. His older sister Mia peeked in. “Why not rap Rap gives beat to your words; the beat can be your bridge.” she suggested, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!”
Hearing the words, Leo raised an eyebrow, inspired. He loved writing poems in secret, pouring his heart into words. But his stutter had always been a barrier, like a shadow hanging over him, making it impossible for him to share his words. Maybe, just maybe, he could hide his stutter inside rap let the beat wrap around his words like a protective blanket. The thought was thrilling, a spark of possibility shining in his chest, making him imagine the sound of his own voice, steady and confident.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
For two weeks he kept writing and practicing, turning his poems into rap.

参考范文:
For two weeks he kept writing and practicing, turning his poems into rap. Each night, he turned on the desk lamp, and repeated polishing every word to transform his hidden poems into a tight, steady rap. Mia clapped the beat softly, calling out “Again! Come on! Leo, you can make it!” whenever Leo was caught in a word. The following two weeks witnessed his changes from a shy stutterer to a powerful rapper. When he finished, Mia shouted, “Leo, the stage needs a voice like yours.”
On the night of the Talent Show, Leo stepped into the spotlight. He felt a mix of excitement and tension, heart pounding but head held high. He held the microphone, took a deep breath, and launched into his welcome rap. He could perform the whole self-made rap without a single break. The beat perfectly hide the places where his tongue usually paused. Students clapped along, surprised that “Silent Leo” now filled the hall with flowing rap. As the final line landed, the audience erupted with cheers “Rap Leo”. In that roar, Leo discovered a new way to turn life’s lemons into lemonade. His stutter still appeared, but it had found a home where it could sing.

W: Get ready to say goodbye to today’s warm, sunny weather. Just when millions of people are getting ready for the Christmas holiday, three storms are expected to make problems for holiday travelers. None of the storms will be strong, but the cold air will make travelling difficult. The first storm will arrive on this weekend. It will bring rain to the northeast, but warm air in New York City might cause some fog and low clouds. It will be hard for drivers to see the road clearly. Later in the week, snow will come to the northwest states, with three inches falling in Saint Paul, Minnesota. And a few days later, just when the New Year’s celebrations are scheduled, Boston will be covered with freezing rain. The ice will cause problems for anyone trying to travel on foot, with one inch of ice expected on city roads. New Year will be cold in Chicago, too, with a strong wind blowing water from the river onto anyone hoping to celebrate by the water.
