书面表达
Dear Jack,
Thanks for your letter. I’m very glad to tell you something about the Chinese saying “Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles.” It means that it is important to read ten thousand books and walk ten thousand miles. It tells us that reading and traveling can make us learn more knowledge.
I like reading, because I can learn a lot from books. I usually read after I finish my homework or before I go to bed. I also like traveling. The visit to Beijing last year was my favourite trip. I visited the places of interest in Beijing and learned about its traditional culture. I really understand the meaning of “He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.”
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,

When Chinese people are busy preparing for the Chinese New Year, a Chinese AI app named DeepSeek is making waves globally. It has become the most-downloaded free app on the Apple App Store around the world, beating well-known ones like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Llama 2.
Thanks to its success, stocks (股票) related to DeepSeek rose rapidly(迅速地） on Monday. Many were over 10% higher at the start of the day, bringing good news to shareholders, just like getting a big red envelope during the New Year.
In January 2025, the company launched DeepSeekR1. This model is remarkable. It uses new learning methods, allowing it to think and reason on its own. In tasks like math, coding, and language, it performs as well as top models from big companies. In some areas, it even does better.
Surprisingly, the developers used less-powerful chips and had fewer team members compared to rivals. This means users can enjoy it at a lower cost.
The app quickly drew global attention. People in Silicon Valley are curious about how Chinese developers caught up. Marc Andreessen, a famous Silicon Valley investor, praised it on X (Twitter).
DeepSeek is important for China’s AI. It shows China’s progress on the world stage. But with its fast development, it faces criticism from abroad, like cyber-attacks. This may bring challenges(挑战) to its future.
Why is it said that DeepSeek brings a big red envelope to shareholders
A．Because it’s a New Year tradition.
B．Because the app gives users money.
C．Because the app’s success makes shareholders’ wealth grow.
D．Because shareholders get real red envelopes.
49. Why does the writer talk about Marc Andreessen
A．To tell us about a famous investor.
B．To show that some people in the US are surprised by DeepSeek.
C．To prove DeepSeek is popular.
D．To show the difference between Chinese and foreign AI.
50. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．DeepSeek is the only well-known AI app.
B．DeepSeek will always be the best.
C．Everyone likes DeepSeek.
D．Bad things from other countries might cause problems for DeepSeek.
C
“Why do I live Why do I wish for anything, or do anything Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed (损坏) by my death ” Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions.
As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection (完美) if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success.
In the 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.
He won the respect (尊重) he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith (信仰) and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy realized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith.
So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew.
Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs.
The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books— War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would bring him happiness.
Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced (影响) many people all over the world.
According to the passage, which of the following is the most important to Tolstoy
A. Family B. Success C. Money D.Work
52. Which is the correct order of the following events
① Tolstoy worked in the army. ② Tolstoy got married.
③ Tolstoy wrote War and Peace. ④ Tolstoy opened a school.
⑤ Tolstoy became a well-known writer.
A. ①⑤③②④ B. ⑤①③②④ C. ①⑤④②③ D. ⑤④①③②
53. What could be the best title for the passage
A．Leo Tolstoy: Influencing the world.
B．Leo Tolstoy: Being the best in everything.
C．Leo Tolstoy: Searching for the meaning of life.
D．Leo Tolstoy: Living for writing perfect stories.
D
Do you like travelling Do you think travelling is tiring or enjoyable In the year 2070, most of you will be about 60 years old. The good news is that travelling might become smarter by that time. European airline EasyJet has made some predictions (预测) and showed them to the public: The Future Travel Report. Let’s take a look at some of their ideas.
Paper passports will be a thing of the past. You will use “heartbeat passports” instead. According to experts, everyone’s heartbeat is different. So your heartbeat will be taken and be used to tell who you are.
The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll be able to book a seat according to your body type. The seat might even be able to cool or warm you until you feel comfortable with the temperature. There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A special machine in the future could show movies straight in front of your eyes.
If you hate packing clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, your body shape will be taken. And when you arrive, you’ll find a wardrobe filled with 3D-printed clothes in your size. When you leave, the clothes can be recycled and reprinted for the next person. You can also 3D print whatever you want to eat.
If you like to visit historic sites (历史古迹), augmented reality (AR) will change the game. Wearing a headset, you can see what happened at a historic site, such as a famous battle. You may even be able to sit among the cheering people at the first Olympic Games.
54．According to The Future Travel Report, which of the following can you do
A．You can make your heartbeat different.
B．You can watch a film without a screen.
C．You can wear other people’s 3D-printed clothes.
D．You can take part in a famous battle with a headset.
55．Which is the advantage (优势) of future seats on the plane
A．They have the same size.
B．They can change temperature.
C．They won’t have any screens on the seat.
D．They can show movies in front of your eyes.
56．How does the passage show the functions (功能) of AR
A．By asking questions. B．By telling stories.
C．By giving examples. D．By showing details.
57．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Tips for travelling in the future.
B．Problems with travelling in the future.
C．What travelling will be like in the future.
D．What to do when travelling in the future.

Mr. Su also did several courses in repairing engines and Mrs. Su spent an hour in restaurant learning to cut up fish.
In October they had one year off from their jobs and sailed away from England with their two children. The next year, in August, their long journey ended.
