When Ma Jun was born, his parents noticed something unusual. His limbs were weak, and he couldn’t move
or stand without help. While his peers ran and played, Ma could only sit in a wheelchair, watching in frustration.
For years, his parents carried Ma on their backs to school, braving wind and rain.
In 2016, Ma passed his college entrance exams, but he faced a dilemma. With limited resources, his family
couldn’t manage both sons’ education. Then Ma made a decision to stay home, sacrificing (牺牲) his own learning
opportunity for his brother. This decision, though rooted in love, threw Ma into hopelessness. Longing to attend
university and prove himself despite his condition, Ma instead found himself stuck in bed, feeling desperate.
The turning point came when a friend gave him a book, Shi Tiesheng’s best-seller I and the Temple of Earth.
Shi, a famous writer who also uses a wheelchair, had transformed his struggles into profound literature. As he
read,Ma felt a spark of hope lighting up his world. Shi’s vivid observations and unshaken hope inspired Ma deeply.
He was struck by the realization that someone with similar struggles could find meaning and joy in life. Later, he
started on a three-year journey of writing the book The Green and White Stone Steps by recording his own
life,pouring his heart and soul into the words.
In June 2023, Ma received unexpected good news that his book was one of 10 selected for publication through
the project “Stars of Literature by Chinese Ethnic Writers”. This achievement marked a significant milestone in his
literary journey. Then, the Junma Awards for Ethnic Literature announced this year’s awards, and Ma became the
youngest winner of this year’s Junma Awards for Ethnic Literature in the prose category.
Having fought against the illness for many years, Ma never defines himself as a man to be pitied. “I don’t
think my experiences are tragic. Everyone in this world suffers from something. For me, it’s physical; for some
others, it’s emotional. We’re all fighting our own battles,” he says. Writing is not just a profession for Ma — it’s a
lifeline,a way to connect with the world and leave behind a legacy of courage, sincerity and hope.
4. Why did Ma give up attending university
A His family was on a tight budget.
B. His brother showed a stronger desire to study.
第 2页/共 10页
C. His parents didn’t want to support his education.
D. His physical condition prevented him from continuing his education.
5. What do we know about Ma’s book The Green and White Stone Steps
A. It was based on Shi’s personal story. B. It was finished in 7 years.
C. It got recognition in the literary world. D. It was inspired by his friend.
6. Which of the following can best describe Ma Jun
A. Farsighted and patient. B. Selfless and honest.
C. Talented and optimistic. D. Brave and confident.
7. What message does the text convey
A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Chance favors the prepared mind.
C. He who laughs last laughs longest. D. Misfortune doesn’t define who you are.
C
Gossip is a funny thing. It can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Casual gossip gets everyone talking
and makes the world feel smaller, while negative gossip can leave people feeling hurt. Though we can’t always
avoid it, we can choose to join in positive gossip, by deliberately (故意地) spreading positivity behind people’s
backs.
Let me invite your imagination to a course in the Case Western Reserve University when we needed to do an
exercise in pairs. My partner, Jeff, listened closely to me with humble curiosity. As for me, instead of appreciating
his story, I judged it against mine. When someone asked how it went, I commented that Jeff’s story was uninspiring
— classic negative gossip, masked with politeness. The next day, when Jeff heard that I wanted to sell my work in
America, he went above and beyond. He invited me to a CEO dinner, drove me through a rainstorm, and introduced
me to every key player, showing pure generosity. Reflecting on this, I felt a wave of guilt. Here I was, badmouthing
his story, while Jeff had been nothing but kind.
The lesson wasn’t about Jeff’s story needing revision; it was about my mindset. I decided never to join in
negative gossip again and reverse (颠倒) it. You will never know that positivity works wonders until you try it.
Researchers reveal that positive gossip boosts trust, deepens relationships, and creates an environment where
information flows freely. It’s like the “Easter egg”, which is hidden but delightful when we hear about it.
If you want to create a culture of respect, it starts with the words you choose. Spread positivity and recognize
others’ strengths. What you say behind someone’s back doesn’t just affect them — it shapes how others will
remember you.
第 3页/共 10页
8. Which of the following examples best shows positive gossip
A. Praising a classmate’s contribution to the group in front of him.
B. Sharing with others how a teammate has been helpful in a difficult project.
C. Telling a colleague that another coworker’s presentation was not impressive.
D. Discussing a friend’s failure in a project and expressing disappointment privately.
9. How did the author react to Jeff’s story
A. He made unsupportive comments. B. He showed no interest and ignored it.
C. He interrupted Jeff and told my own story. D. He listened carefully and gave positive feedback.
10. What effect does positive gossip have on interpersonal relationships
A. It makes people value own strengths and win others’ respect.
B. It leads to misunderstandings and conflicts among team members.
C. It strengthens relationships and leaves a good impression on others.
D. It creates an atmosphere where everyone tries to compete with each other.
11. The author’s tone in the text can be described as ______.
A. casual and indifferent B. humorous and objective
C. negative and doubtful D. encouraging and thoughtful
D
Can an AI ChatBot enhance personal creativity Supporters of artificial intelligence see it as an inspiration,but
critics doubt it, saying it does little more than remix existing work.
To gather data on this question, Oliver Hauser, an economist at the University of Exeter, and Anil Doshi at
University College London’s School of Management invited 300 non-professional writers to write an
eight-sentence story. One-third of the participants needed to generate ideas independently, while others received
starter ideas from ChatGPT 4.0. The assisted group was divided into two: one received a single AI-generated
idea,and the other could choose from up to five. Most importantly, both the human-only and AI-assisted groups had
to write the stories themselves.
Assessed by 600 evaluators (评价者), each story were graded on “novelty” and “usefulness”. Novelty
reflected originality, while usefulness showed if the story was of publishable quality. According to the results,
AI-assisted stories scored higher in both categories. Writers with access to one AI idea performed better, but those
with five ideas saw the most improvement — about 8% more novel and 9% more useful than independent stories.
But there’s a plot twist: When Hauser and Doshi looked at all the stories, they found a different effect. “Generally
第 4页/共 10页
speaking, there was a smaller diversity of novelty in the group that had AI,” Hauser says.
In other words, while the chatbot enhanced creativity individually, it reduced the overall creativity of the
AI-assisted group. Hauser describes this a “classic social dilemma” where individuals benefit, but the group suffers.
“We do worry that, at large scale, if many people are using this... overall the diversity and creativity in the
population will go down,” he says.
Annalee Newitz, a science fiction author and journalist, pointed out that he wouldn’t blame anyone who tried
using AI to write a story. However, he thinks these tools miss the point of writing. Creative writing is “humans
communicating with other humans,” Newitz says. “Even if something is badly written — even if not very creative
— if it’s written by a human, then it’s fulfilling its purpose”.
12. What can we learn about Hauser and Doshi’s study
A. Each participant’s story was graded by professionals.
B. Not all the participants needed to generate ideas independently.
C. Each participant’s story was evaluated on three different aspects.
D Human-only stories were as novel and useful as AI-assisted stories.
13. Which best explains the underlined phrase “a plot twist” in paragraph 3
A. An unexpected finding. B. A slight change.
C. An impressive opinion. D. A believable fact.
14. Which of the following would Annalee Newitz probably agree with
A. AI should be avoided in creating stories.
B. Creative writing loses its value when assisted by AI.
C. AI is important for improving the quality of creative works.
D. The point of creative writing lies in human-to-human communication.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Nature of Creative Writing B. The Future of Human Creativity
C. AI Boosts Creativity, but at a Cost D. Human Battles Against AI in Writing

【46 题答案】
【答案】Dear Director,
I’m Li Hua, a passionate Grade 11 student. I’m writing to propose my plan for the upcoming “Stand Up for
Wildlife” event.
To start with, we can create eye-catching posters and digital content to highlight the dangers that wildlife are
facing, such as habitat loss, pollution and illegal hunting. To deepen understanding, we could organize a series of
educational workshops and interactive talks by experts in the field. Additionally, a fundraising event could be held
to support wildlife conservation efforts.
This plan will not only raise students’ awareness but also inspire our school community to adopt eco-friendly
practices and contribute to a global cause. I believe it will spark positive change both within and beyond our school.
Thank you for your consideration. Looking forward to your approval.
Yours,
Li Hua
