Dreams often begin in the smallest corners of our lives, long before we realize they're guiding us somewhere amazing. In Yerramala Palle, a quiet village in Andhra Pradesh's Kadapa district, a young girl, who once threw a cricket（板球）ball into the air, never knew that the seemingly small act would one day make a big difference and transform her entire life.
Raised in an ordinary home with her parents and elder sister, Shree Charani tried every sport she could: badminton, athletics, and cricket. “I started playing cricket when I was in first or second grade. I didn't really know why I liked it so much,” she recalled. “Everyone in my family loved the sport, and that was how it all began for me. Around seventh grade, my father bought me my first cricket kit.”
Charani's daily existence was entirely devoted to practice and training. Injuries were a constant threat, yet she never permitted fear to control her determination. “Once, Charani fell during a match and broke her right arm. She didn't drop a single tear nor inform anyone. She simply returned home and lay down in silence. It was only later that we discovered what had happened and immediately rushed her to the hospital. Fortunately, she made a quick recovery,” her sister recalled.
However, the toughest battle was not on the field but within the walls of society. “People used to question Charani, asking why she had a boyish hairstyle,” her sister added. “The message from society was clear: she was just a girl, and her future — they insisted — should end in marriage, not in sports, dreams, or ambition.”
From the quiet village of Yerramala Palle to the exciting stadiums（体育场）of world cricket, Shree Charani's journey serves as a vivid reminder of what happens when talent meets determination. Now, she is not just a recognized bowler. She stands as living proof that a dream nurtured（滋养）in silence can one day light the way for every person who dares to believe in themselves.
24. What originally inspired Charani to take up cricket
A. A professional sports coach. B. Her desire to beat other players.
C. A school sports competition. D. Her whole family's fondness for it.
25. How did Charani react right after her arm injury
A. She kept her suffering to herself. B. She let her sister take her to hospital.
C. She cried and called for her parents. D. She continued playing despite the pain.
26. Which problem troubled Charani most deeply
A. Frequent physical sports injuries. B. Heavy pressure from her school studies.
C. Lack of recognition from society. D. Insufficient funds for training equipment.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. Challenges Faced by Female Athletes B. Lessons Learned From Cricket Troubles
C. A Small Dream Shining With Persistence D. Popular Sports in a Remote Indian Village

Ten years ago, scientists identified a small group of individuals who feel no pleasure from music even though their hearing is normal and they enjoy other types of experiences. This condition, called “specific musical anhedonia（快感缺乏症）,” occurs when the brain's auditory（听觉的）regions fail to properly communicate with the areas involved in reward. In a paper recently published in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences, the researchers who first described the condition outline the brain processes involved and explain how this work may help uncover broader differences in how people experience pleasure and joy.
To identify this condition, the team developed the Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire（BMRQ）, which assesses responses to five musical reward sources: emotional impact, mood regulation, social interaction, movement/dance, and enjoyment of seeking new music. Those with musical anhedonia score low across all five areas. Behavioral research and brain imaging confirm that their auditory circuits（通路）work normally — they can hear and interpret music — but the reward circuit shows reduced activity when exposed to music. This clear difference makes the special disease easy to tell from common hearing problems. Notably, this circuit responds normally to other rewards like winning money, proving the reward system itself functions well.
The core issue lies in the disruption between the reward circuit and the auditory network, not the reward circuit's performance. Studies suggest genetics（基因）and environment may contribute to the condition. Researchers also propose that similar specific anhedonias might exist for other rewards, such as food, due to interrupted connectivity between relevant processing regions and the reward circuit. It means people may lack feelings for certain pleasures rather than all pleasant things.
The team is currently working together with geneticists to identify specific genes that might be involved in specific musical anhedonia. They also plan to investigate whether the condition is a stable trait or something that changes throughout life — and whether musical anhedonia or other similar conditions can be reversed.
28. How can we describe specific musical anhedonia
A. Loss of all pleasure experiences. B. Truly damaged auditory brain regions.
C. Normal hearing but no music joy. D. Reduced response to music rewards.
29. What does the BMRQ mainly do
A. Record people's daily music habits. B. Treat unusual brain hearing illnesses.
C. Test different styles of beautiful music. D. Check people's music pleasure reactions.
30. Which word has the closest meaning to “disruption” in paragraph 3
A. Disconnection. B. Distinction. C. Discussion. D. Disqualification.
31. What will researchers study next
A. Popularity of special musical abilities. B. Links between genes and brain problems.
C. Time limits of different brain disorders. D. Ways to spread musical knowledge widely.
D
Scientists have long linked the Permian-Triassic mass extinction some 252 million years ago to vast volcanic eruptions in what is now Siberia. The resulting CO emissions rapidly sped up climate warming, contributing to the collapse of ecosystems. But climate warming alone cannot explain this extinction because when the tropics become too hot, species migrate to the cooler and higher latitudes（纬度）. So, what wiped out almost all life on land, including plants and usually tough insects, has remained a source of mystery.
One new study, published in the journal Science and co-led by the University of Bristol and China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), has shed new light. Huge ocean warming El Nino events were the key, with global conditions swinging wildly over decades.
The scale of Permian-Triassic warming was revealed by studying oxygen isotopes（同位素）in the fossilized tooth material of tiny extinct swimming organisms called conodonts（牙形虫）. By studying the temperature record of conodonts from around the world, the researchers were able to show remarkable temperature instability, especially in the low and mid latitudes.
Dr. Farnsworth, who used pioneering climate modeling to evaluate the findings, said, “The changes responsible for the climate patterns were profound because there were much more intense and prolonged El Nino events than witnessed today. Species were simply not equipped to adapt or evolve quickly enough.”
The results of the climate modeling also help explain the abundant charcoal（木炭）found in rock layers of that age. “Wildfires became very common in a drought-prone climate. Earth got stuck in a crisis state where the land was burning and the oceans were lifeless. There was nowhere to hide,” he added.
In recent years El Nino events have caused major changes. 2023–2024 was one of the hottest years on record globally due to a strong El Nino in the Pacific, which was further worsened by increased human-induced CO driving catastrophic droughts and fires around the world. Fortunately, events like this so far have only lasted one to two years at a time.
32. What can we know about the former volcanic-warming theory
A. It is not fully reasonable. B. It is totally groundless.
C. It is put forward recently. D. It is widely challenged.
33. How did researchers learn ancient unstable global temperature
A. By using old climate models. B. By comparing latitudes temperatures.
C. By observing ocean conditions. D. By examining related ancient fossils.
34. What happened some 252 million years ago according to the researchers
①Species adapted fast to changes.
②Lots of charcoal came into being.
③Wildfires broke out frequently.
④The whole earth suffered severe damage.
A. ①② B. ②③④ C. ③④ D. ①②③
35. What is implied in the last paragraph
A. Seeing is believing. B. The cloud has a silver lining.
C. Every day is a leaf in history. D. Actions speak louder than words.
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，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。
We live in an age when short dramas slip easily into the gaps of daily life. Their main attraction lies in speed. Like quick flashes of light, they deliver instant excitement and clearly defined emotions. __36__ This brings immediate satisfaction with little demand on our time. In a fast-paced world, they have become a natural companion.
Yet what comes quickly often fades just as quickly. Short dramas rush from scene to scene. __37__ Characters may seem vivid, but they remain shallow — more like simple images than true full characters. Problems are solved before they are fully experienced — Viewers are entertained, but seldom challenged. Gradually, watching turns into a habit of easy consumption rather than active reflection.
__38__ Beneath the desire for quick pleasure lies a deeper need — to understand, to feel, and to think. We long for meaning that develops slowly, emotions that stay with us, and stories that reflect our own struggles. It is this quiet hunger that draws us towards the wider world of cinema.
A film invites us to slow down. When the screen darkens, time seems to slow down. Scenes are allowed to breathe. Silence begins to speak. Characters grow through choices, mistakes, and moments of waiting. Meaning is not delivered all at once but shown gently, like light at dawn. Films do not rush viewers forward. __39__
Think of the white feather drifting in Forrest Gump. Recall Andy Dufresne standing in the rain in The Shawshank Redemption, arms open, finally free. __40__ Beyond the fast stream of short dramas lies the deep river of cinema — quiet, powerful, and always worth entering.
A. They leave little room for thought to settle.
B. The human mind is not built for endless speed.
C. But not everyone chooses to watch online videos.
D. These films are produced to offer quick relaxation.
E. Such moments stay with us long after the screen falls silent.
F. In just a few minutes, a problem appears, rises, and disappears.
G. Instead, they lead us to think deeply instead of only focusing on what happens right now.

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。
Dorien is a Belgian girl who is energetic and always excited about learning new things. At the age of 18, she had mastered Greek and French, but she decided to study a new language.
Deeply fascinated by Chinese culture and curious about this mysterious land, she chose to take on the challenge of learning Chinese. Her decision shocked everyone. “It's crazy!” her friends shouted. But nothing could stop Dorien from pursuing her dream of learning Chinese. She packed her bags for Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, and studied at Zhejiang University. She imagined a relaxing and easy life full of beautiful scenery before arriving.
However, reality hit hard. In class, Dorien found learning Chinese more challenging than studying Greek and French. The four tones of Chinese made her completely confused. On the street, she struggled to string a sentence to ask for directions. During her first West Lake vinegar fish meal, her Chinese classmates enjoyed the sweet-sour dish happily, but she couldn't get used to the strong taste at all. She kept drinking warm water to ease the strange sour flavor.
However, challenges went beyond language and food. In social situations, Dorien often felt awkward. Her classmates often shared their snacks and personal belongings with her, and invited her to join almost every group activity. Although kind, this kind of closeness made her uneasy and even stressed out. She didn't know how to accept it naturally or how to say no politely without offending（冒犯）anyone.
As days passed, a heavy feeling of self-doubt grew in her heart. One day, her Chinese teacher noticed her problem and encouraged her. “Don't worry.” the teacher said gently, “Take your time. Try to embrace（拥抱）our culture with an open heart, and you'll find beauty everywhere.” These simple words lifted her spirits.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Gradually, Dorien began to appreciate the beauty of Chinese culture.

Dear Owen,
I'm more than delighted to tell you Intangible Cultural Heritage Week is currently being held at the Cultural Centre of our city. I'm writing to invite you to visit it with me.
The event is both fascinating and attractive. First, there is a short video showing many traditional Chinese heritage skills, ranging from paper-cutting and calligraphy to embroidery. Besides, the centre displays plenty of finely crafted works, which are a feast for the eyes.
It's wonderful to appreciate the beauty of traditional Chinese arts, so I sincerely hope you can come.
with me this Saturday morning. If you have other plans, just let me know.
Looking forward to your reply!
Yours,

Gradually, Dorien began to appreciate the beauty of Chinese culture. She started trying local sweet and sour dishes with her classmates and even learned to order classic Hangzhou dishes in Chinese. She also joined their study group activities and found it warm to be cared about. Her Chinese improved little by little, and she even began to tell jokes in class. When she shared her favorite snacks with others, she realized the closeness she once feared was just a way of showing kindness. She felt her heart filled with joy and confidence.
A year later, standing in front of her Belgian classmates, she began her speech in fluent Chinese. She talked about her life in Hangzhou, the warm friends she made, and the delicious food she learned to love. She told them how the teacher's words had changed her, and how she finally understood the beauty of being open to new cultures. When she finished, the room erupted in applause. Dorien smiled, knowing that this journey had not only taught her a new language, but also helped her grow into a more confident and open-minded person.

M: What are you up to these days, Jennifer
W: I'm trying to hand in my poem to the 42nd Youth Poetry Festival. I really hope I can take part in it this year.
M: Could you tell me something about the festival
W: Sure. It aims to find and support outstanding young poets with great creative potential from across the country.
M: Why do you want to attend it so much
W: Because it provides a great chance for young poets like me to communicate and discuss works with experienced poets. I can learn a lot from them and make new friends.
M: I believe you'll make it. By the way, where will the festival be held
W: Last year it was held in Central Park and the Youth Center separately. This year it will be held at the City Library next month.
M: I'm already looking forward to it.

M: Jane, have you ever dreamt of exploring the sea
W: Absolutely. The mysteries beneath the ocean's surface are fascinating. Diving into the depths and discovering unknown sea life is amazing.
M: Yeah, it's like entering a whole new world. The possibility of exploring historic sites is thrilling to me.
W: And there's so much we haven't seen. There are new species and underwater landscapes. Hey, I'd like to go diving one day. Do we need special training for scuba diving
M: Yeah, divers need to learn how to use special equipment with a tank of compressed air called a scuba tank on their backs and a mask to see underwater. Clearly, divers can breathe and swim freely.
W: I once saw a video that showed divers using hand signals for communication.
M: Yeah, that's necessary.
W: Cool, can you teach me how to dive I can't wait to see a school of fish.

W: For many book writers, artificial intelligence is a threat to their work and creativity. More than 10,000 writers supported an open letter from the Authors Guild, which urged AI companies not to use copyrighted works without permission or payment. At the same time, AI is a story that can be told, and no longer exists only in science fiction. Helen Phillips is the writer of the book HUM. It tells of a wife and mother who loses her job because of AI. Phillips said there is a hope in AI for gaining all knowledge, but there is a "fear of being replaced by non-human intelligence". Ryan Doherty is a director at Celadon Books. It recently agreed to publish Fred Lunzker's book Sike, featuring an AI doctor. Other AI-related books include In Our Likeness. It tells about a government worker and a fact-checking program with the power to change facts. Some writers are not just writing about AI. They are also openly working with it. Earlier this year, Stephen Marche used AI to write the short book Death of an Author.
