Welcome to our guide of the Best Movies of 2024, featuring every Certified Fresh movie as they come in week by week!
Joker: Folie à Deux (Oct. 4)
The first Joker stunned Hollywood by becoming a $ 1 billion hit despite being R-rated and having a modest budget for a comic book movie.

Mufasa: The Lion King (Dec. 20)
After Jon Favreau’s The Lion King remake made more than $ 1 billion at the box office in 2019, Disney was keen to return to the world with a prequel (前传) focusing on Mufasa.

“Growing fruit trees is a very simple way to stay in love with our world,” says Vivian Keh, playwright and daughter of immigrants, holding a basket of persimmons (柿子) she’s cultivated to feel connected to her Korean ancestors. Keh is just one of the 50 remarkable subjects in naturalist writer Amy Stewart’s The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession, a collection of portraits of people transformed by their love of trees.
Initially, trees struck Stewart as an odd thing to collect. Intrigued by this community of enthusiasts, she discovered educators, preservationists and visionaries, all drawn to a kind of curation, motivated by reasons as diverse as their projects. They plant trees in public and private spaces both modest and expansive, nurturing (培育) their collections to honor beloved dead, attract wildlife, preserve rare species, connect to history, invest in the future, grow food and create beauty.
Steward categorizes these tree collectors according to their sense of purpose. Kenneth Hoegh, one of the book’s “ecologists”, tests which cold-loving species might grow in a warming and historically treeless Greenland. “Healer” Joe Hamilton plants loblolly pines on a parcel of land he got from his enslaved ancestors with an eye toward long-term sustainable forestry which he hopes will establish a source of generational wealth for his family. Reagan Wytsalucy has a plan to restore traditional peach orchards on Navajo land as one of the “community builders” who seek to bring people together.
Adding to the book’s charm are Stewart’s watercolor illustrations—she gives us a look at each of her human subjects while also cataloging the most wonderful qualities of featured trees, such as Seussian eucalyptus seed pods and delicate camellia blossoms.
After spending time in this varied commonwealth, you’ll undoubtedly experience an intense desire to rest under the shade of a leafy oak. But something even deeper is happening here: by creating a space for people to talk about something they love. “How often do any of us get a chance to pour our hearts out to a stranger ” she writes. “ Somehow, talking about trees made it possible.”
24. What does the underlined word “curation” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Connection. B. Collection. C. Treatment. D. Transformation.
25. What purpose of planting trees is mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To preserve rare species. B. To honor beloved dead.
C. To develop new varieties. D. To strengthen social bonds.
26. What does the quote in the last paragraph suggest about discussing trees
A. It inspires new ideas.
B. It rarely happens in public.
C. It allows deep emotional sharing.
D. It helps resolve environmental issues.
27. What does the writer think of the book
A. Complicated. B. Conventional. C. Inspiring. D. Intense.
C
For many, travel isn’t just about the destination—it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting, known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a revolutionary solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature for iPhones and iPads.
Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory conflict can lead to dizziness, nausea, and overall discomfort—symptoms all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.
Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This revolutionary feature works by displaying animated dots, around the edges of your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in line with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness.
The magic lies in the simplicity and effectiveness. The animated dots move inconsistency with the vehicle’s motion, providing a visual representation of the movement your body is experiencing. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness.
Early reports and user feedback indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back—or rather, your brain—helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort.
28. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues
A. Frequent travelers. B. Book lovers.
C. Vehicle operators. D. Sport scientists.
29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The principle of Apple’s new design. B. The cause of motion sickness.
C. The functions of Apple’s new design. D. The symptoms of motion sickness.
30. By displaying animated dots around the screen, Apple’s Vehicle Motion Cues is able to .
A. ease sensory conflicts in the brain
B. tell the mismatched physical sensations
C. balance the movement of our eyes and body
D. increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion
31. Which can be the best title of the passage
A. Make the Most of Your Journey: Apple Bridges the Gap
B. Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: Apple’s Got Your Back
C. Enjoy Your Reading: Apple Offers a Revolutionary Solution
D. Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design
D
A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I've been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. “My favorite food is sushi,” I said—wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi.
I’d created the video using software from a Los Angeles-based artificial-intelligence start-up called HeyGen. The technology, which only needs a single selfie and a script to generate deepfake videos of real people “saying” almost anything, is a testament (证明) to the advancements in AI language tools. This got me thinking about the declining interest in language learning with fewer students enrolling in foreign language courses and the decrease of English proficiency among young people in some places.
AI translation, integrated into social media and messaging platforms, seems to be everywhere. Even language-learning apps are using AI-generated content in their marketing. However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience. As Anne, a Chinese translator said, “Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart.”
Language learning fosters cultural competency, a skill that AI cannot simply copy. Learning a different way to speak, read, and write helps people discover new ways to see the world. No machine can replace such a profoundly human experience. Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures. Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of AI, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. Paula Krebs of the MLA points out that even with a “universal translator”, sometimes, the greater meaning of people’s utterance (言辞) remains a mystery.
In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve.
32. Why does the author give the example in paragraph 1
A. To promote the language software.
B. To show off his Chinese language skills.
C. To prove learning a language is a wasted effort.
D. To encourage critical thinking about AI language tools.
33. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. AI translation deserves more attention.
B. Language apps play a key role in marketing.
C. Language translation is far beyond technology.
D. Learning a different language is an uphill battle.
34. What is the key benefit of learning a language according to the passage
A. Better digital literacy. B. Improved translation skills.
C. Deeper cultural confidence. D. Effective intercultural interaction.
35. What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A. AI language tools offer convenience.
B. AI facilitates language learning in terms of culture.
C. AI is far from perfect in helping language understanding.
D. AI has achieved success in the development of language learning tools.
第二节 七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
How Loneliness Is Killing Us
Loneliness is absolutely an epidemic (流行病) in our society, but it’s been growing for decades. Loneliness is the sense that “I am less connected to other people than I want to be.” 36 And that makes it different from isolation (独处). I can deliberately isolate myself and feel great about that, but only you can tell if you’re lonely.
37 In some studies, as many as 60% of people will say that they feel lonely much of the time. Young adults aged 16 to 24 are the loneliest age group. There are many factors that are responsible for that. Loneliness was on the rise from the 1950s in part because of the rise of private cars. We’ve become a much more mobile society where the networks of family and friends get loose as people move for jobs and other kinds of opportunities like education.
38 But then it tears us away from the communities we are born into and spend much of our lives creating. When television came into the American home, there was more of a decline in investing in our communities. And that was made worse as the digital revolution gave us more and more screens to look at.
Research finds loneliness is dangerous to our health. 39 In addition, people who are lonely in late life have more rapid brain decline.
The choice we can make to keep us on a good path of well-being is to invest in our relationships with other people. 40 You belong. You matter. You’re connected.
A. It’s a very subjective experience.
B. All of that is good on the one hand.
C. You may feel lost and may have low confidence.
D. Stress coming from loneliness causes physical breakdown.
E. Since the 1950s, people have been less and less invested in other people.
F. People go to faraway colleges and only get in touch with families on screen.
G. A good way is to find an activity around other people where you are comfortable.

Mary was the art teacher for primary school students. On this particular day, she was guiding them through the process of drawing a scenic landscape. Akila yawned (打哈欠),clearly disinterested—drawing wasn't her thing. A small group of students gathered around Tina, laughing at her unusual drawing: a sun sporting sunglasses and trees topped with ice cream cones.
Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease, “Draw it the way I showed you.” As the lesson continued, doubt crept into Mary’s mind. Had the joy of creativity been over- shadowed by the pressure to fit in She scanned the room, observing her students ’ faces — some concentrated, others uncertain. Akila’s disinterest was clear, and Tina’s imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise.
After class, Mary sat down with Tina, her tone softening. “Why did you draw the sun with sunglasses and the trees with ice creams ” she asked gently.
Tina’s eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion (叛逆). “I love ice cream, and I thought the sun would look cool with sunglasses. Why do we always have to draw like everyone else ”
Mary paused, her thoughts racing. Tina’s drawings weren’t just curious—they were a window into a world where imagination ruled, where rules could be bent into delightful chaos. Was she, by enforcing a rigid style, killing that very creativity
The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose. She placed a large sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new project: they would create a collective artwork titled “Our Dream World” with no rules. They were free to use colors, shapes, and patterns however they wished.
At first, the students hesitated, unsure of this newfound freedom. Akila leaned back, skeptical of what seemed like another pointless exercise. But Tina, her creativity no longer restricted, eagerly grabbed her crayons and began to draw with abandon. Then, Maya
joined in. And then Michael ...

第 25 题 D 根据第三段，KH 这个人测试了哪种树可以生活在格林兰，JH 希望通过种植 loblolly pines 来探讨可持续发展森林业，可持续应该是为后世子孙考虑，并且希望这个森林可以成为他家族世世 代代的财富来源，RW 则作为社区建造者，修复着传统的桃子种植园，希望能够把人们团结在一起， 所以他们的共同点在于关注地球，关注人，关注树在加强人与人之间的情感纽带方面所扮演的重要 角色，选 D。

C 篇
第 28 题 A 文章第一段提到了晕车常常影响人们的旅程，故选 A，文章特别提到是在旅途中阅读或 是使用电子设备的人（reading or using your device) ，因此不选 B ，以偏概全。C 、D 选项均未提及。 第 29 题 B 第二段的前两句解释了晕车的原因是由人体眼与脑感受不统一导致的，最后一句介绍了 晕车的症状，因此主要内容为解释原因，故选 B 。第二段未提及苹果的新功能，故不选 A ，C。
第 30 题 A 文章第三段提到小点可以"keep the motion your body feels in line with what your eyes see(使你的身体感受与眼睛所视相统一)" ，视觉与身体的感受均为感官，与 A 中所述的减缓脑内的 感官（sensory）之间的冲突对应。

第 35 题 C 最后一段提到了AI 诚然可以使得翻译便捷，但是无可替代翻译所带来的文化交流与理 解，这与 C 相符。A 与第一句直接对应，不符合题干的 imply(暗示)；B ，D 均未提及。
七选五

第 36 题 A 段中题。设空处前文提到了孤独的定义 Loneliness is the sense that "I am less connected to other people than I want to be."同时设空处后 And that makes it different from isolation. 由此可知设 空处应该是孤独和隔绝的区别，对比选项 A 项“它是一种非常主观的感受”符合语境，其中的 It 指的 是前文的 Loneliness, 选项与后文的 that 对应，故选 A.
第 37 题 E 段首题 。设空处后文提到了一些调查研究的数据，可知本段和孤独这种现象的流行有 关。对比选项，E 项“从 20 世纪 50 年代开始，人们越来越少在其他人身上投资。符合语境，且与下 文"Loneliness was on the rise fromthe 1950s in part because of the rise of private cars"相呼应。故选 E. 第 38 题 B 段首题。前段讲诉了孤独流行蔓延的许多因素，设空处后文转折 "But it tears us away from the communities we are born into and spend much of our lives creating."但是另一方面它让我们剥 离了与生俱来的归属感，并且要花费大量时间去创造。所以对比选项 B"从一方面来讲这是好事。” 承上启下符合语境，故选 B 项。
第 39 题 D 段中题。设空处前文"Research finds loneliness is dangerous to our health."研究发现孤独对 我们健康有害，是本段主题句。设空处应展开论述孤独对健康的危害，对比选项 D 项孤独产生的压 力让健康崩溃符合语境，故选 D 项。
第 40 题 G 段中题。最后一段作者给出建议即投资我们与其他人之间的关系。G 项“找一个让你觉 得舒服的有别人在的活动”正是具体投资与其他人关系的方法也与设空处后文“你有归属，你很重 要。你是与他人相连的”对应，符合语境，故选 G 项。

Dear Peter,
Here comes a piece of good news appealing to you. The Art Exhibition for Middle School Students will be held at the Art Center in our school this Friday, from 2 pm to 5 pm. So I am writing to invite you to attend it.
This exhibition is aimed at developing students’ interest in art and inspiring their innovative spirit, featuring the combination of art and technology. Not only will a variety of traditional artworks, such as paper cuttings and traditional Chinese paintings, be on display but also there will be abstract paintings and 3D animations made by computers.
I do hope you are able to join us. Please reply to confirm your attendance at your earliest convenience.
As the students worked, Mary observed them with curiosity. She noticed how Akila, initially disinterested, had quietly chosen vibrant colors and was now blending them together to create a swirling sky filled with fantastical creatures that flew over a stone castle. Meanwhile, Tina was enthusiastically adding playful details to her section of the paper — a whimsical garden where flowers wore hats and creatures rested on the ice cream-topped trees. Mary felt a wave of relief wash over her. The room was alive with chatter and laughter, as Akila and Tina frequently exchanged ideas and inspired one another. Akila even leaned over to admire Tina’s ice cream trees and said, “That is mind-blowing!” It was wonderful to see them cooperate, their initial differences melting away in the warmth of shared creativity.
Mary stood back and surveyed the creation. The enormous canvas had transformed into a magnificent portrayal of each students imagination, forming a breathtaking landscape that reflected their individuality yet spoke to their collective spirit. Mary felt a sense of pride swell within her, she realized that in letting go of rigid structures, her students gave their painting an unrealistic but dream-like quality. Akila, Tina, and the rest of the class had not only embraced their own creative paths but had also nurtured each other’s ideas. They were thrilled, “It was the best painting ever! We should definitely hang it on the wall” Inspired by the moment, Mary decided to host an exhibition of their dream world, inviting parents and other classes to admire the beauty of imagination unleashed in her classroom.

“Growing fruit trees is a very simple way to stay in love with our world,” says Vivian Keh, playwright and daughter of immigrants, holding a basket of persimmons (柿子) she’s cultivated to feel connected to her Korean ancestors. Keh is just one of the 50 remarkable subjects in naturalist writer Amy Stewart’s The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession, a collection of portraits of people transformed by their love of trees.
Initially, trees struck Stewart as an odd thing to collect. Intrigued by this community of enthusiasts, she discovered educators, preservationists and visionaries, all drawn to a kind of curation, motivated by reasons as diverse as their projects. They plant trees in public and private spaces both modest and expansive, nurturing (培育) their collections to honor beloved dead, attract wildlife, preserve rare species, connect to history, invest in the future, grow food and create beauty.
Steward categorizes these tree collectors according to their sense of purpose. Kenneth Hoegh, one of the book’s “ecologists”, tests which cold-loving species might grow in a warming and historically treeless Greenland. “Healer” Joe Hamilton plants loblolly pines on a parcel of land he got from his enslaved ancestors with an eye toward long-term sustainable forestry which he hopes will establish a source of generational wealth for his family. Reagan Wytsalucy has a plan to restore traditional peach orchards on Navajo land as one of the “community builders” who seek to bring people together.
Adding to the book’s charm are Stewart’s watercolor illustrations—she gives us a look at each of her human subjects while also cataloging the most wonderful qualities of featured trees, such as Seussian eucalyptus seed pods and delicate camellia blossoms.
After spending time in this varied commonwealth, you’ll undoubtedly experience an intense desire to rest under the shade of a leafy oak. But something even deeper is happening here: by creating a space for people to talk about something they love. “How often do any of us get a chance to pour our hearts out to a stranger ” she writes. “ Somehow, talking about trees made it possible.”
24. What does the underlined word “curation” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Connection. B. Collection. C. Treatment. D. Transformation.
25. What purpose of planting trees is mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To preserve rare species. B. To honor beloved dead.
C. To develop new varieties. D. To strengthen social bonds.
26. What does the quote in the last paragraph suggest about discussing trees
A. It inspires new ideas.
B. It rarely happens in public.
C. It allows deep emotional sharing.
D. It helps resolve environmental issues.
27. What does the writer think of the book
A. Complicated. B. Conventional. C. Inspiring. D. Intense.
C
For many, travel isn’t just about the destination—it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting, known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a revolutionary solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature for iPhones and iPads.
Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory conflict can lead to dizziness, nausea, and overall discomfort—symptoms all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.
Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This revolutionary feature works by displaying animated dots, around the edges of your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in line with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness.
The magic lies in the simplicity and effectiveness. The animated dots move inconsistency with the vehicle’s motion, providing a visual representation of the movement your body is experiencing. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness.
Early reports and user feedback indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back—or rather, your brain—helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort.
28. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues
A. Frequent travelers. B. Book lovers.
C. Vehicle operators. D. Sport scientists.
29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The principle of Apple’s new design. B. The cause of motion sickness.
C. The functions of Apple’s new design. D. The symptoms of motion sickness.
30. By displaying animated dots around the screen, Apple’s Vehicle Motion Cues is able to .
A. ease sensory conflicts in the brain
B. tell the mismatched physical sensations
C. balance the movement of our eyes and body
D. increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion
31. Which can be the best title of the passage
A. Make the Most of Your Journey: Apple Bridges the Gap
B. Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: Apple’s Got Your Back
C. Enjoy Your Reading: Apple Offers a Revolutionary Solution
D. Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design

A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I've been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. “My favorite food is sushi,” I said—wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi.
I’d created the video using software from a Los Angeles-based artificial-intelligence start-up called HeyGen. The technology, which only needs a single selfie and a script to generate deepfake videos of real people “saying” almost anything, is a testament (证明) to the advancements in AI language tools. This got me thinking about the declining interest in language learning with fewer students enrolling in foreign language courses and the decrease of English proficiency among young people in some places.
AI translation, integrated into social media and messaging platforms, seems to be everywhere. Even language-learning apps are using AI-generated content in their marketing. However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience. As Anne, a Chinese translator said, “Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart.”
Language learning fosters cultural competency, a skill that AI cannot simply copy. Learning a different way to speak, read, and write helps people discover new ways to see the world. No machine can replace such a profoundly human experience. Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures. Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of AI, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. Paula Krebs of the MLA points out that even with a “universal translator”, sometimes, the greater meaning of people’s utterance (言辞) remains a mystery.
In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve.
32. Why does the author give the example in paragraph 1
A. To promote the language software.
B. To show off his Chinese language skills.
C. To prove learning a language is a wasted effort.
D. To encourage critical thinking about AI language tools.
33. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. AI translation deserves more attention.
B. Language apps play a key role in marketing.
C. Language translation is far beyond technology.
D. Learning a different language is an uphill battle.
34. What is the key benefit of learning a language according to the passage
A. Better digital literacy. B. Improved translation skills.
C. Deeper cultural confidence. D. Effective intercultural interaction.
35. What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A. AI language tools offer convenience.
B. AI facilitates language learning in terms of culture.
C. AI is far from perfect in helping language understanding.
D. AI has achieved success in the development of language learning tools.

How Loneliness Is Killing Us
Loneliness is absolutely an epidemic (流行病) in our society, but it’s been growing for decades. Loneliness is the sense that “I am less connected to other people than I want to be.” 36 And that makes it different from isolation (独处). I can deliberately isolate myself and feel great about that, but only you can tell if you’re lonely.
37 In some studies, as many as 60% of people will say that they feel lonely much of the time. Young adults aged 16 to 24 are the loneliest age group. There are many factors that are responsible for that. Loneliness was on the rise from the 1950s in part because of the rise of private cars. We’ve become a much more mobile society where the networks of family and friends get loose as people move for jobs and other kinds of opportunities like education.
38 But then it tears us away from the communities we are born into and spend much of our lives creating. When television came into the American home, there was more of a decline in investing in our communities. And that was made worse as the digital revolution gave us more and more screens to look at.
Research finds loneliness is dangerous to our health. 39 In addition, people who are lonely in late life have more rapid brain decline.
The choice we can make to keep us on a good path of well-being is to invest in our relationships with other people. 40 You belong. You matter. You’re connected.
A. It’s a very subjective experience.
B. All of that is good on the one hand.
C. You may feel lost and may have low confidence.
D. Stress coming from loneliness causes physical breakdown.
E. Since the 1950s, people have been less and less invested in other people.
F. People go to faraway colleges and only get in touch with families on screen.
G. A good way is to find an activity around other people where you are comfortable.

Mary was the art teacher for primary school students. On this particular day, she was guiding them through the process of drawing a scenic landscape. Akila yawned (打哈欠),clearly disinterested—drawing wasn't her thing. A small group of students gathered around Tina, laughing at her unusual drawing: a sun sporting sunglasses and trees topped with ice cream cones.
Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease, “Draw it the way I showed you.” As the lesson continued, doubt crept into Mary’s mind. Had the joy of creativity been over- shadowed by the pressure to fit in She scanned the room, observing her students ’ faces — some concentrated, others uncertain. Akila’s disinterest was clear, and Tina’s imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise.
After class, Mary sat down with Tina, her tone softening. “Why did you draw the sun with sunglasses and the trees with ice creams ” she asked gently.
Tina’s eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion (叛逆). “I love ice cream, and I thought the sun would look cool with sunglasses. Why do we always have to draw like everyone else ”
Mary paused, her thoughts racing. Tina’s drawings weren’t just curious—they were a window into a world where imagination ruled, where rules could be bent into delightful chaos. Was she, by enforcing a rigid style, killing that very creativity
The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose. She placed a large sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new project: they would create a collective artwork titled “Our Dream World” with no rules. They were free to use colors, shapes, and patterns however they wished.
At first, the students hesitated, unsure of this newfound freedom. Akila leaned back, skeptical of what seemed like another pointless exercise. But Tina, her creativity no longer restricted, eagerly grabbed her crayons and began to draw with abandon. Then, Maya
joined in. And then Michael ...

A 篇
第 21 题 B 第一部电影 Joker 有续作，第三部 Inside Out 2 有 follow-up, 第四部 Mufasa 有前传， 所以说明这 3 部都不是同一部电影的再次制作，第二部 Twisters 有 version 说明是同一部电影不同 的版本，是一个重新制作，选 B。
第 22 题 A 在 Inside Out 2 里面有 animated, The Lion King 里面有 cartoon, 所以 2 个都是动画电影， 选 A。
第 23 题 B 这篇文章主要介绍最新电影，应该属于娱乐方面的讯息，选 B。
B 篇
第 24 题 B 斯图尔特发现，很多教育家，保护主义者，梦想家他们都被一种树集（树的集合或者他 们所培育的树种集合）所吸引着，后文 nurturing their collections,他们会不断地培育自己的树集，出 于不同的原因，即 honor beloved dead, attract wildlife, preserve rare species, connect to history, invest in the future, grow food and create beauty. 此题 的 curation 应 该对应 nurturing their collections 中 的 collections. 选 B。
第 25 题 D 根据第三段，KH 这个人测试了哪种树可以生活在格林兰，JH 希望通过种植 loblolly pines 来探讨可持续发展森林业，可持续应该是为后世子孙考虑，并且希望这个森林可以成为他家族世世 代代的财富来源，RW 则作为社区建造者，修复着传统的桃子种植园，希望能够把人们团结在一起， 所以他们的共同点在于关注地球，关注人，关注树在加强人与人之间的情感纽带方面所扮演的重要 角色，选 D。
第 26 题 C 根据最后一段的最后一句话，pour our hearts out to a stranger, talking about trees made it possible 可知，树可以链接陌生人，使得陌生人分享他们内心深处的想法，所以树能够允许深层次 的情感分享。选 C。
第 27 题 C 作者在介绍斯图尔特这本书的时候，用的都是非常好的褒义词，比如 remarkable(第一段), intrigue, motivated (第二段), wonderful qualities (第四段) ，可知作者对这本书的态度应该是褒义，选 C ，inspiring.
C 篇
第 28 题 A 文章第一段提到了晕车常常影响人们的旅程，故选 A，文章特别提到是在旅途中阅读或 是使用电子设备的人（reading or using your device) ，因此不选 B ，以偏概全。C 、D 选项均未提及。 第 29 题 B 第二段的前两句解释了晕车的原因是由人体眼与脑感受不统一导致的，最后一句介绍了 晕车的症状，因此主要内容为解释原因，故选 B 。第二段未提及苹果的新功能，故不选 A ，C。
第 30 题 A 文章第三段提到小点可以"keep the motion your body feels in line with what your eyes see(使你的身体感受与眼睛所视相统一)" ，视觉与身体的感受均为感官，与 A 中所述的减缓脑内的 感官（sensory）之间的冲突对应。
第 31 题 D 本文主要介绍了苹果设备的防晕车新功能，这与D 选项对应。A 未提到晕车，欠缺关 键词；B 中the magic of a moving vehicle 与文章主要讲述的晕车无关，而文章倒数第二段开头的magic 则代指的是苹果的功能；C 中的 reading 以偏概全，如第二段所提及，晕车也有可能是因为看电子 设备。
D 篇
第 32 题 D 第二段最后一句“This got me thinking ...（这使得我思考）”中，根据上文推测，这里的 This 代指了AI 语言模型使得“说外语”非常简单，即第一段所述的事件。故选择 D。
第 33 题 C 第三段第三句"language translation is an art rather than a science", 其中 science 代指了前文 所说的 AI 语言模型，因此可以得出翻译远不止科技的结论。
第 34 题 D 第四段首句说到语言学习助长了文化素养（cultural competency） 的培养，这种能力是 AI 无可替代的，因此最大的优点就是 cultural competence ，故不选 A，B。第四段对于这个名词进一 步阐释为"understanding and connecting with different cultures", 这与 D 对应。
第 35 题 C 最后一段提到了AI 诚然可以使得翻译便捷，但是无可替代翻译所带来的文化交流与理 解，这与 C 相符。A 与第一句直接对应，不符合题干的 imply(暗示)；B ，D 均未提及。
七选五

As the students worked, Mary observed them with curiosity. She noticed how Akila, initially disinterested, had quietly chosen vibrant colors and was now blending them together to create a swirling sky filled with fantastical creatures that flew over a stone castle. Meanwhile, Tina was enthusiastically adding playful details to her section of the paper — a whimsical garden where flowers wore hats and creatures rested on the ice cream-topped trees. Mary felt a wave of relief wash over her. The room was alive with chatter and laughter, as Akila and Tina frequently exchanged ideas and inspired one another. Akila even leaned over to admire Tina’s ice cream trees and said, “That is mind-blowing!” It was wonderful to see them cooperate, their initial differences melting away in the warmth of shared creativity.
Mary stood back and surveyed the creation. The enormous canvas had transformed into a magnificent portrayal of each students imagination, forming a breathtaking landscape that reflected their individuality yet spoke to their collective spirit. Mary felt a sense of pride swell within her, she realized that in letting go of rigid structures, her students gave their painting an unrealistic but dream-like quality. Akila, Tina, and the rest of the class had not only embraced their own creative paths but had also nurtured each other’s ideas. They were thrilled, “It was the best painting ever! We should definitely hang it on the wall” Inspired by the moment, Mary decided to host an exhibition of their dream world, inviting parents and other classes to admire the beauty of imagination unleashed in her classroom.
