一、阅读理解
China’s first panda-themed tourist train, known as the “Panda train” left Chengdu Railway Station in Sichuan’s provincial capital for Zunyi in neighboring Cuizhou province on Sunday night. The train is decorated with giant panda images, and attendants carry panda toys and passengers can even try panda-shaped food. The “panda train” will start operation on March 28. It will serve on fixed lines and customized lines to connect tourist attractions in Sichuan and neighboring provinces.
In the future, the train will operate on a number of rail lines linking Chengdu and Chongqing, Chongqing and Guiyang, Shanghai and Kunming in Sichuan, Guzhou provinces and Chongqing municipality.

The mahjong room might be the biggest attraction for passengers from Sichuan, whose people are known for their fondness of the game. There’s an old joke that an airplane passenger bound for Chengdu can sleep soundly, only to be woken by the clicking of mahjong tiles in the city before landing.

Wu Wuliu, a visual designer based in Shanghai, recently caused significant controversy online when he used AI to “bring his late grandmother back to life” and engaged in a conversation with her in the video he posted
After mimicking his late grandmother’s appearance, voice, personality, and memories through AI applications, Wu input her photos into the programs to create a lifelike image and uploaded her verbal messages to simulate her voice and accent. Finally, he turned the AI-generated language into conversations between him and his “grandmother”, who can blink, nod, and even laugh heartily. When Wu asked her if she had prepared holiday goods for the Spring Festival, she responded in dialect, “I bought two bottles of cooking oil and they smell good.”
Upon the release of the video, it gained popularity on Bilibili, accumulating over 670,000 views and receiving thousands of likes from netizens. Nevertheless, the comments section was filled with heated debates. Some netizens said they were deeply moved by the video as it reminded them of their own deceased loved ones, believing that such actions help convey their grief and are meaningful. On the other hand, many netizens could not accept Wu’s approach, claiming it to be “disrespectful of life” Some argued that technology like this should be banned, as it may lead to an “existential crisis”. There were also concerns that scammers might take advantage of AI technology for fraudulent (诈骗的) purposes.
Wu said in an interview that he posted the video to honor his grandmother, who brought him up as a child and died in January. They were only able to exchange a few simple words during her last days leaving him not coping with the loss. By “talking” with her, Wu said he could ease the pain of his loss.
“From a psychological perspective, compared to traditional items such as photographs and personal belongings. AI technology can better preserve the image and personality of deceased loved ones, providing comfort to those who are grieving,” said Chen Zhilin, a psychological counselor. “However, over-reliance on it should be avoided. More importantly, we must learn to cherish the present.”
4．What does the underlined word “controversy” in paragraph 1 mean

C. She had conversations with her grandson after coming back to life.
D. She was created as a lifelike image with personality and simple movements.
6．What are the reactions of netizens to Wu’s video
A. Some were worried as they had been cheated by AI.
B. Some were angry as the approach was not respected.
C. Some were anxious as the technology would lead to death.
D Some were touched as it reminded them of their late loved ones.
7．Which of the following statements would Chen Zhilin probably agree with
A. Time heals all wounds. B. The present is a present.
C. Make hay while the sun shines. D. Those who play with fire will burn themselves.
Volunteering is something that is usually not at the top of young people’s lists. But with a little bit of a push from student organizations and nonprofit organizations volunteerism and community change can start to take a huge lead. They become not just something that will look good on a resume (简历) or college application, but a first concern and a learning experience for the young.
I did a considerable amount of community work during my summer breaks. A few times I would go down to the church and help with the sorting and handing out of canned foods to the homeless. The ragged (破旧的) cloth and the look of upset printed on the faces of the people I handed food to reminded me of the hard realities of our society today, and the difficulty many people face in achieving their self-worth. I was also reminded of the fact that the statistics we hear every day about homelessness are real people-not just numbers. The largest percentage of people who are homeless is in fact, not the men on the street, but families: mothers, children of all ages, and fathers.
The most important thing I’ve learned from my volunteer experiences is that people are not powerless; as a matter of fact, we have a great deal of potential (潜力). I learned how exciting it is to realize how much fun you have in your own life and how beautiful it is to share that with others and hoped that they will discover it themselves. I learned how giving human beings are, even when they don’t have much to give. These are important to help us open doors of understanding and take time to actively listen and communicate with our community members.
The relationship between young people and nonprofit organizations can be the start of a great change in the community and should be a very powerful educational experience. An open-minded and promising flow of communication between organizations and community members can be the start of social and environmental change. Together, we can make the change.
8．What can we learn about volunteering from the first paragraph
A. It deserves to be taken seriously. B. It is more important than grades.
C. It is a must in college application. D. It runs high on young people’s lists
9．What did the author realize through his experience of working in the church
A. His necessity to improve himself.
B. His willingness to do community work.
C. The great suffering of many homeless people.
D. The amazingly large number of the homeless.
10．What does the author think is important to have community under-standing
A. Supporting each other with financial giving.
B. Developing our potential to discover beauty.
C. Knowing our ability to share fun with others.
D. Taking time to solve neighborhood problems.
11．What’s the author’s probable purpose in writing the text
A. To call on the young to volunteer.
B. To share his volunteer experiences.
C. To explain the benefits of volunteering.
D. To introduce suitable community work
The old saying that “laughter is the best medicine” may contain an element of truth when it comes to heart health. A research has demonstrated that laughing causes the tissue inside the heart to expand and increases oxygen flow around the body.
“Our study found that laughter treatment increased the functional capacity of the cardiovascular (心血管的) system, and patients with heart disease who engaged in a course of laughter treatment had reduced inflammation (炎症) and better health.” said the lead author, Prof Marco Safffi, of the Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre in Brazil.
In the trial, scientists carried out a first-of-its-kind study to examine if laughter treatment could improve symptoms of patients with heart disease. It involved 26 adults with an average age of 64, all diagnosed with the heart disease caused by plaque (斑块) buildup in the walls of the arteries (动脉) that supply blood to the heart. Over three months, half were asked to watch two different hour-long comedy programmes each week, including funny popular sitcoms. The other half watched two different serious documentaries, about heavy topics such as politics or the Amazon rainforest.
At the end of the 12-week study period, the comedy group improved by 10% in a test measuring how much oxygen their heart could pump around the body. The group also improved in a second measure that tested how well arteries can expand. They also had a blood test to measure several inflammatory markers, which indicate how much plaque has built up in the blood vessels and whether people are at risk of heart attack or stroke. The results showed that their inflammatory markers had significantly reduced compared with the documentary group.
“When patients with heart disease arrive at hospital, they usually have a lot of inflammatory markers.” said Saffi. “It’s really good news that laughter treatment is a good intervention that could help reduce inflammation and decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke.”
12．How does laughter help patients with heart disease
A. It makes the tissue inside the heart become larger
B. It lowers the oxygen flow around the patients’ body
C. It reduces the function of the cardiovascular system
D. It increases inflammation and results in better health
13．What can we infer from the research
A. The research participants were all old man above 60.
B. The documentary group worried about the Amazon rainforest.
C. The comedy group must have laughed while watching sitcoms.
D. The comedy group had more inflammatory markers than the documentary group.
14．How many tests did the participants have at the end of the research
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
15．What’s the best title of this article
A. Laughter treatment — A powerful weapon to cure heart disease.
B. Laughter treatment —An effective method to defeat heart disease.
C. Laughter treatment —A helpful way to lower the risk of heart disease.
D. Laughter treatment — A perfect therapy to save lives from heart disease.

六、读后续写
34．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。
Yoghurt
It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn't understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didn't have the three extra dollars to buy it for him. It was a kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was a kind of product that wasted a parent's money and made me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It's just yoghurt. What's the big deal " So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn't seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then-bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn't have done,
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

②根据上文"Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative.(不过要 注意，77%的自言自语往往是消极的) "由此可知，上文提到了要注意自己自言自语时的消极语言，说明本句是在强调要对自己说积极鼓励的话。故F选项"所以为了保持积极，我们应该只对自己说鼓励的话"符合语境，故选F。
③根据后文"And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. However, critical language may cause anger and defense.(而店员可能也会以同样的方式回答你。然而，批评的语言可能会引起愤怒和防卫) "由此可知，后文提到了商店店员，可知本句是在举例说明在购物时会发生的一些情况，且强调要使用热情友好的语言。后文中the clerk与G选项中store相对应。故G选项"例如，当我们把商品退回商店时，我们可能会在交换过程中使用热情友好的语言"符合语境，故选G。
④根据后文"Many of us regret something we once said. We remember unkind words said to us as well.(很多人对自己说过的话感到后悔。我们也记 得别人对我们说过的不友善的话) "可知，后文提到很多人对自己说出的话感到后悔，也记得他人对自 己说过的不友善的话，说明人们说出的话语有持久的影响。故E选项"语言具有力量，因为它们具有持久的影响"符合语境，故选E。
⑤根据上文"Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things.(话语具有积极的和消极的力量。当我们积极地说话时，我们周围的人会得到鼓励。我们可以提供希望，建立自尊，激励他人做到最好。消极的话语会摧毁一切) "以及后文"The choice is ours.(选择权在我们自己) "可知，上文分别说明了积极的话语和消极的话语的影响，本句承接上文，说明选择用话语去伤害别人还是治愈别人，选择权在我们自己。故B选项"我们会用我们的话去伤害别人还是治愈别人 "符合语境，故选B。

32．答案：who；drinks；to have；than；directly；is reduced；to；being；activity ；an
解析：①考查定语从句。句意:一个体重正常、经常锻炼、饮食健康、不吸烟、适量饮酒的母亲生出肥胖孩子的可能性要小得多。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词为mother,指人,故填关系代词who。
②考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,设空处与has、exercises、eats及doesn't smoke作并列谓语,故用一般现在时。主语为A mother,故用第三人称单数形式,故填drinks。
③考查不定式。be likely to do sth.可能做某事。
④考查介词。句意:研究表明,和先天因素相比,这可能更多地与养育(后天因素)有关,因为母亲的生活方式似乎与孩子的健康直接相关。根据空前的more判断此处填than,表示比较。
⑤考查副词。修饰过去分词linked应该用副词形式。故填directly。
⑥考查时态和语态。句意:这项对24,000多名儿童进行的研究发现,当母亲和孩子都遵循健康的生活方式时,肥胖的风险甚至降低得更多。此处描述的是客观事实,而且the risk of obesity与reduce之间是被动关系,所以应该用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is reduced。
⑦考查介词。句意:这项研究调查了美国近17,000名妇女所生的24,000多名9到14岁的儿童的病史和生活方式。from... to...从……到……。
⑧考查非谓语动词。句意:研究人员研究了母亲的整体健康状况与孩子肥胖的可能性之间的关系。空格处作介词of的宾语,故用动名词形式,其中a child是动名词的逻辑主语。故填being。
⑨考查名词。句意:母亲的健康状况根据身高体重比、饮食、活动量、吸烟情况和饮酒量等因素判断。此处应填名词,表示“运动”,activity表示抽象意义时为不可数名词,故填activity。
⑩考查冠词。句意:正常的体重和饮食、定期锻炼、不吸烟以及适量饮酒都能降低女性生一个肥胖孩子的可能性。child是单数可数名词,此处泛指一个肥胖的孩子,而且obese以元音音素开头。故填an。

34．答案：
Paragraph 1:
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised. “Mum, why are you so generous to this stranger while so mean to me when I asked for a yoghurt " I explained that if we were blind to the poor man's situation, he would be freezing. He didn't have a home or food to eat after all. We could spare five dollars even if we were financially stressed. Finally, my son nodded and fixed his eyes on his yoghurt.
Paragraph 2:
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn't have done. He took his yoghurt and handed it to the man outside his window. Even if it was just a matter of a few spoonfuls of yoghurt, it was all he had, and he gave it to someone who needed it more than he wanted it. He showed me that I was doing well as a mother. There are always blessings to count if we open our eyes, and we always have the opportunity to be a blessing for someone else.

Wu Wuliu, a visual designer based in Shanghai, recently caused significant controversy online when he used AI to “bring his late grandmother back to life” and engaged in a conversation with her in the video he posted
After mimicking his late grandmother’s appearance, voice, personality, and memories through AI applications, Wu input her photos into the programs to create a lifelike image and uploaded her verbal messages to simulate her voice and accent. Finally, he turned the AI-generated language into conversations between him and his “grandmother”, who can blink, nod, and even laugh heartily. When Wu asked her if she had prepared holiday goods for the Spring Festival, she responded in dialect, “I bought two bottles of cooking oil and they smell good.”
Upon the release of the video, it gained popularity on Bilibili, accumulating over 670,000 views and receiving thousands of likes from netizens. Nevertheless, the comments section was filled with heated debates. Some netizens said they were deeply moved by the video as it reminded them of their own deceased loved ones, believing that such actions help convey their grief and are meaningful. On the other hand, many netizens could not accept Wu’s approach, claiming it to be “disrespectful of life” Some argued that technology like this should be banned, as it may lead to an “existential crisis”. There were also concerns that scammers might take advantage of AI technology for fraudulent (诈骗的) purposes.
Wu said in an interview that he posted the video to honor his grandmother, who brought him up as a child and died in January. They were only able to exchange a few simple words during her last days leaving him not coping with the loss. By “talking” with her, Wu said he could ease the pain of his loss.
“From a psychological perspective, compared to traditional items such as photographs and personal belongings. AI technology can better preserve the image and personality of deceased loved ones, providing comfort to those who are grieving,” said Chen Zhilin, a psychological counselor. “However, over-reliance on it should be avoided. More importantly, we must learn to cherish the present.”

Volunteering is something that is usually not at the top of young people’s lists. But with a little bit of a push from student organizations and nonprofit organizations volunteerism and community change can start to take a huge lead. They become not just something that will look good on a resume (简历) or college application, but a first concern and a learning experience for the young.
I did a considerable amount of community work during my summer breaks. A few times I would go down to the church and help with the sorting and handing out of canned foods to the homeless. The ragged (破旧的) cloth and the look of upset printed on the faces of the people I handed food to reminded me of the hard realities of our society today, and the difficulty many people face in achieving their self-worth. I was also reminded of the fact that the statistics we hear every day about homelessness are real people-not just numbers. The largest percentage of people who are homeless is in fact, not the men on the street, but families: mothers, children of all ages, and fathers.
The most important thing I’ve learned from my volunteer experiences is that people are not powerless; as a matter of fact, we have a great deal of potential (潜力). I learned how exciting it is to realize how much fun you have in your own life and how beautiful it is to share that with others and hoped that they will discover it themselves. I learned how giving human beings are, even when they don’t have much to give. These are important to help us open doors of understanding and take time to actively listen and communicate with our community members.
The relationship between young people and nonprofit organizations can be the start of a great change in the community and should be a very powerful educational experience. An open-minded and promising flow of communication between organizations and community members can be the start of social and environmental change. Together, we can make the change.
8．What can we learn about volunteering from the first paragraph
A. It deserves to be taken seriously. B. It is more important than grades.
C. It is a must in college application. D. It runs high on young people’s lists
9．What did the author realize through his experience of working in the church
A. His necessity to improve himself.
B. His willingness to do community work.
C. The great suffering of many homeless people.
D. The amazingly large number of the homeless.
10．What does the author think is important to have community under-standing
A. Supporting each other with financial giving.
B. Developing our potential to discover beauty.
C. Knowing our ability to share fun with others.
D. Taking time to solve neighborhood problems.
11．What’s the author’s probable purpose in writing the text
A. To call on the young to volunteer.
B. To share his volunteer experiences.
C. To explain the benefits of volunteering.
D. To introduce suitable community work
The old saying that “laughter is the best medicine” may contain an element of truth when it comes to heart health. A research has demonstrated that laughing causes the tissue inside the heart to expand and increases oxygen flow around the body.
“Our study found that laughter treatment increased the functional capacity of the cardiovascular (心血管的) system, and patients with heart disease who engaged in a course of laughter treatment had reduced inflammation (炎症) and better health.” said the lead author, Prof Marco Safffi, of the Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre in Brazil.
In the trial, scientists carried out a first-of-its-kind study to examine if laughter treatment could improve symptoms of patients with heart disease. It involved 26 adults with an average age of 64, all diagnosed with the heart disease caused by plaque (斑块) buildup in the walls of the arteries (动脉) that supply blood to the heart. Over three months, half were asked to watch two different hour-long comedy programmes each week, including funny popular sitcoms. The other half watched two different serious documentaries, about heavy topics such as politics or the Amazon rainforest.
At the end of the 12-week study period, the comedy group improved by 10% in a test measuring how much oxygen their heart could pump around the body. The group also improved in a second measure that tested how well arteries can expand. They also had a blood test to measure several inflammatory markers, which indicate how much plaque has built up in the blood vessels and whether people are at risk of heart attack or stroke. The results showed that their inflammatory markers had significantly reduced compared with the documentary group.
“When patients with heart disease arrive at hospital, they usually have a lot of inflammatory markers.” said Saffi. “It’s really good news that laughter treatment is a good intervention that could help reduce inflammation and decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke.”
12．How does laughter help patients with heart disease
A. It makes the tissue inside the heart become larger
B. It lowers the oxygen flow around the patients’ body
C. It reduces the function of the cardiovascular system
D. It increases inflammation and results in better health
13．What can we infer from the research
A. The research participants were all old man above 60.
B. The documentary group worried about the Amazon rainforest.
C. The comedy group must have laughed while watching sitcoms.
D. The comedy group had more inflammatory markers than the documentary group.
14．How many tests did the participants have at the end of the research
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
15．What’s the best title of this article
A. Laughter treatment — A powerful weapon to cure heart disease.
B. Laughter treatment —An effective method to defeat heart disease.
C. Laughter treatment —A helpful way to lower the risk of heart disease.
D. Laughter treatment — A perfect therapy to save lives from heart disease.

Yoghurt
It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn't understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didn't have the three extra dollars to buy it for him. It was a kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was a kind of product that wasted a parent's money and made me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It's just yoghurt. What's the big deal " So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn't seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then-bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

32．答案：who；drinks；to have；than；directly；is reduced；to；being；activity ；an
解析：①考查定语从句。句意:一个体重正常、经常锻炼、饮食健康、不吸烟、适量饮酒的母亲生出肥胖孩子的可能性要小得多。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词为mother,指人,故填关系代词who。
②考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,设空处与has、exercises、eats及doesn't smoke作并列谓语,故用一般现在时。主语为A mother,故用第三人称单数形式,故填drinks。
③考查不定式。be likely to do sth.可能做某事。
④考查介词。句意:研究表明,和先天因素相比,这可能更多地与养育(后天因素)有关,因为母亲的生活方式似乎与孩子的健康直接相关。根据空前的more判断此处填than,表示比较。
⑤考查副词。修饰过去分词linked应该用副词形式。故填directly。
⑥考查时态和语态。句意:这项对24,000多名儿童进行的研究发现,当母亲和孩子都遵循健康的生活方式时,肥胖的风险甚至降低得更多。此处描述的是客观事实,而且the risk of obesity与reduce之间是被动关系,所以应该用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is reduced。
⑦考查介词。句意:这项研究调查了美国近17,000名妇女所生的24,000多名9到14岁的儿童的病史和生活方式。from... to...从……到……。
⑧考查非谓语动词。句意:研究人员研究了母亲的整体健康状况与孩子肥胖的可能性之间的关系。空格处作介词of的宾语,故用动名词形式,其中a child是动名词的逻辑主语。故填being。
⑨考查名词。句意:母亲的健康状况根据身高体重比、饮食、活动量、吸烟情况和饮酒量等因素判断。此处应填名词,表示“运动”,activity表示抽象意义时为不可数名词,故填activity。
⑩考查冠词。句意:正常的体重和饮食、定期锻炼、不吸烟以及适量饮酒都能降低女性生一个肥胖孩子的可能性。child是单数可数名词,此处泛指一个肥胖的孩子,而且obese以元音音素开头。故填an。

34．答案：
Paragraph 1:
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised. “Mum, why are you so generous to this stranger while so mean to me when I asked for a yoghurt " I explained that if we were blind to the poor man's situation, he would be freezing. He didn't have a home or food to eat after all. We could spare five dollars even if we were financially stressed. Finally, my son nodded and fixed his eyes on his yoghurt.
Paragraph 2:
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn't have done. He took his yoghurt and handed it to the man outside his window. Even if it was just a matter of a few spoonfuls of yoghurt, it was all he had, and he gave it to someone who needed it more than he wanted it. He showed me that I was doing well as a mother. There are always blessings to count if we open our eyes, and we always have the opportunity to be a blessing for someone else.
