Dozens of my middle school classmates walked around the statues in the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City while the staff tried to teach us about Mexico’s pre-Columbian heritage. Attracted by the statues, I got separated from the group, and for a few minutes, all I could hear was a respectful silence. Soon, a puzzling drum and flute filled the gallery’s emptiness, playing a piece of music I had never heard.
The rhythm (节奏) had me advancing toward it without realizing what I was doing. Suddenly I was outside the museum. The spell was cut off to search for a familiar face, and there it was: the face of my classmate Antonio. Also drawn by the music and curiosity, he had wandered outside as well. I arrived at his side just in time to watch the performance of “Los Voladores de Papantla” (the Papantla Flyers) — a ceremony born centuries ago to beg for rain during drought.
It includes five people climbing a very tall pole. One of the flyers remains atop the pole, playing a flute and drum, while the others, tied to ropes at the top of the pole, spin around the pole, slowly going down until they reach the ground. Each part of this ceremony is a symbol. The 4 flyers represent the 4 directions (North, South, East, and West) and the 4 earth elements (earth, water, air, and fire). They spin 13 times around the pole before landing, representing the 52 weeks of the year (13 times around the pole x 4 flyers=52).
Many years later, I was in Cholula, when I heard a flute and a drum inviting everyone in the city to see the ceremony. This time, I wasn’t looking for a familiar face under the spell of an unknown rhythm. My heart immediately recognized the sound, so I quickly took my husband’s hand and ran across the square, where the two of us found the best spot to watch the ceremony.
Sitting next to him, I was taken back to my youth, amazed by the flute, drum, and dancers flying above. This, along with the warm summer sun and Mexican candy on my face, made me feel like I was home. I was completely content.
24．Why was the writer outside the museum
A．Because she got carried away by the music.
B．Because she hoped to see its architectural style.
C．Because she was annoyed with the noisy crowds.
D．Because she couldn’t find her classmate Antonio.
25．Why does the writer mention the numbers in paragraph 3
A．To explain the symbolism of the dance.
B．To illustrate the history of the dance.
C．To stress the difficulty of the dance.
D．To relate the dance to ancient maths.
26．What does “the spell” refer to in paragraph 4
A．The artistic depth. B．The simple structure.
C．The unique charm. D．The unusual strength.
27．Watching the dance again in Cholula, the writer felt a sense of ______.
A．curiosity B．belonging C．homesickness D．loneliness
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing (彻底变革) education in ways previously unimaginable. According to a 2023 report by the International Journal of Educational Technology, AI applications in classrooms have increased by 300% over the past five years. This rapid popularity reflects educators’ growing appreciation of AI’s possibility to advance learning experiences.
One of the most significant applications is adaptive learning platforms. These AI-powered tools study students’ performance in real-time, adapting difficulty levels and providing personalized response. Research from Stanford University shows that students using such platforms achieve 23% higher retention rates (保留率) compared to traditional teaching methods. Dr. Helen Carter, an educational technologist at MIT, stresses, “AI doesn’t replace teachers but enables them to recognize learning gaps more effectively and personalize instruction accordingly.”
Beyond personalized learning, AI is also changing judging methods. Automated essay scoring systems can now judge student writing with remarkable correctness, while AI-powered analytics help teachers track class-wide progress instantly. A 2024 UNESCO study found that schools using AI-assisted scoring saved an average of 6 hours per week, allowing educators to focus more on individual student needs.
However, concerns remain about possible disadvantages. Professor David Miller from Harvard warns against overdependence, “AI systems trained on limited databases may generate problems if not carefully monitored.” His 2024 study found that 17% of AI-powered response contained cultural assumptions that didn’t match learners’ contexts. Additionally, some educators worry that AI overusing might reduce key human interaction in the learning process.
The agreement among researchers is that AI works best as an assistant rather than a replacement. A comprehensive meta-analysis of 50 studies (Johnson et al.,2024) concluded that blended learning — combining AI tools with human instruction — brings the highest student engagement and achievement levels. The report stresses that proper teacher training and clear moral guidelines are necessary for successful application. As Dr. Carter observes, “The future of education isn’t AI or teachers — it’s AI and teachers working together.”
28．Which of the following best describes how AI is changing education according to paragraph 1
A．By making education fairer.
B．By reducing the need for schools.
C．By improving studying experiences.
D．By focusing only on online learning.
29．What can be inferred about Dr. Helen Carter’s attitude toward AI in education
A．She believes AI will finally replace teachers.
B．She thinks AI is only useful for grading essays.
C．She supports AI as a tool to help teachers, not replace them.
D．She warns that AI will create more problems in education.
30．The word “generate” in paragraph 4 most likely means ______.
A．produce B．remove C．ignore D．hide
31．Why did the author write this passage
A．To challenge the use of AI in schools.
B．To explain how AI is changing education.
C．To recommend a specific AI learning platform.
D．To argue that teachers will lose their jobs because of AI.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, about two billion people eat bugs, or insects, as part of their daily diet. That’s nearly a quarter of the global population, and yet most countries in Europe and North America, despite the nutritional and environmental benefits, are quite unwilling to eat bugs. So why should Westernized countries agree to include bugs in their daily diet
Eating bugs as a replacement for larger farm animals could contribute greatly to a more sustainable (可持续的) world. Bugs have a high feed-to-product rate and use much less materials than traditional farm animals per pound. According to an article written by the former manager of the Toronto Food Policy Council, Wayne Roberts, “Eatable insects don’t appear on any endangered species lists, and their sustainable use could help protect other wildlife since the approach may contribute to habitat protection.”
The nutritional benefits of eating bugs can be important in fighting childhood deaths, and malnutrition (营养不良) rates. Monica Aiyeko of the Food and Agriculture department at Bondo University College has studied and published the effects of including native crickets into school meal programs in Kenya. Her studies have found that about 30% of Kenyan households are short of food, leading to wide-spread malnutrition among children, particularly under the age of 5. Putting bugs into school feeding programs could provide children with the necessary nutrients to prevent poor growth. Generally, bugs are extremely nutritionally beneficial, rich in protein, omega-3 fats and iron.
The popular Western opinion is best stated by New York Times writer Ligaya Mishan, “Europeans, and European settlers in North America, never had a bug-eating tradition. Indeed, we largely consider insects dirty and related to disease. This is a big misunderstanding that we need to clear up. All I want is a food cultural change, is that so much to ask ”
32．What can we learn from paragraph 2
A．Endangered bugs taste less delicious. B．Eating bugs can threaten other wildlife.
C．Bugs produce less using more materials. D．Bugs need less feed for the same production.
33．What was the main focus of Aiyeko’s study
A．The general health benefits of bugs.
B．The climbing malnutrition rates among Kenyan kids.
C．The problem of food safety in Kenyan households.
D．The benefits of having bugs in school meals in Kenya.
34．What is Mishan’ attitude towards bug-eating
A．Doubtful. B．Unclear. C．Supportive. D．Indifferent.
35．Which is the best title for the passage
A．Bugs: an Unwanted Future Choice B．Bugs: a Change in the Menu
C．Bugs: an Unseen Threat to the Crop D．Bugs: a Game-changer in Agriculture
Enjoy Every Moment of Life
“Life is precious.... To a person nothing is more precious than their life.” 36 Many people rush through life going after big goals without stopping to appreciate the small joys around them. By learning to appreciate the present, we can find happiness in ordinary things. Here are some ways to embrace (拥抱) life fully.
Start your day with gratitude. When you wake up, think of three things you’re thankful for. 37 It could be sunshine, a warm bed, or a friend’s smile. This simple practice helps you begin the day positively and changes your mindset toward contentment.
Stop worrying too much about the future. 38 For example, instead of anxiously thinking about exams, focus on preparing well today. Remember, the future is shaped by what we do now, and excessive stress only robs you of present joy.
39 Take time to notice the world around you — the sound of birds singing, the smell of fresh bread, or the feeling of wind on your face. These small moments make life beautiful and remind us how magical everyday experiences can be.
Be kind to yourself and others. Everyone faces challenges, but kindness makes difficulties easier to bear. Showing kindness to yourself gently reduces the sadness within. 40 When you spread positivity, you’ll find life becomes more joyful and meaningful, creating a ripple effect of goodwill.
Life is short, but by living mindfully, we can make every moment count. So pause, breathe, and cherish the gift of each new day.
A．It doesn’t have to be something big.
B．Slow down and enjoy simple pleasures.
C．Focus on the present and let go of worries.
D．Helping others also brings happiness to yourself.
E．However, planning ahead is still necessary for success.
F．Therefore, we should value each day and live it to the fullest.
G．They forget that happiness lies in the journey, not just the destination.

六、书面表达
67．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。
The final exam bell rang as I sat in my usual seat. Sunlight streamed through the windows, lighting up Lily’s pencil box. The words “Honor First, Victory (胜利) Follows” shone like gold. These words had always been our belief. We’d been study partners since high school started, sharing sandwiches and celebrating tests under the old oak tree in the courtyard.
I was busy with my exam when her strawberry-shaped eraser, a gift from me last birthday, which once saw our late-night study, rolled near my math paper. Just one seat away, Lily took a deep breath. Her eyes darted (来回扫视) between the teacher and a folded paper in her grey sweater sleeve. It seemed that the words on the note she prepared beforehand had become unclear. So, Lily tapped my knee with her foot—our silent signal from soccer practices, then pushed another paper with several words toward me. Its edge caught the light, sharp and bright.
Raising my head, I saw Teacher Rivera pacing between desks, her glasses sliding down her nose. Out of nervousness, I felt my mouth dry. My pencil slipped from my sweaty fingers, dropping to the floor. The clock ticked loudly. Twenty minutes left, each second heavier.
The room was silent except for the clock. Telling on (告发) Lily meant losing three years of memories: movie nights, soccer games, and the snowy morning she brought me homework. Staying silent would break our promise of honesty. A fly buzzed against the window, like my thoughts.
I remembered a soccer game in the rain. Lily fell in the mud. “Honor first!” she said, refusing my help as she got up with bleeding elbows. Now her shoe pushed the paper closer. Her eyes begged through her hair.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With fifteen minutes left, I knew I had to make a choice.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the exam, Lily and I sat in silence under the old oak tree.

【原文】It can often feel like we are living in dark times, so it's nice to be able to report this next local story. A community in the seaside town of Newhaven came together to help a family in a time of need. The Smith family was away on holiday when their house was struck by lightning during a storm. This caused an electrical fire, which quickly spread through the house. When the Smith family returned from vacation, they found their house burned to the ground. Because the fire had been caused by lightning, their insurance provider refused to pay. However, they regained hope when their neighbors and friends came to support them. A community fundraiser had already been organized, with local businesses all offering help, not just with money but food and necessities to help the Smiths rebuild their lives. They now have enough money to rebuild their home so that they can stay in their loving community. Their story serves as a powerful reminder that a problem shared is a problem halved and the more people there are, the greater the strength. Thank you, and good night.

31．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是首段“ Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing (彻底变革) education in ways previously unimaginable. According to a 2023 report by the International Journal of Educational Technology, AI applications in classrooms have increased by 300% over the past five years. This rapid popularity reflects educators’ growing appreciation of AI’s possibility to advance learning experiences.(人工智能（AI）正以从前难以想象的方式彻底变革教育领域。根据《国际教育技术期刊》2023 年的一份报告显示，过去五年间，AI 在课堂中的应用增长了 300%。这种快速普及反映出教育工作者愈发认可 AI 在提升学习体验方面的潜力。)”可知，文章主要介绍了人工智能在教育领域的应用，包括自适应学习平台、改变评判方法等，还提到了人们对人工智能在教育中应用的担忧以及未来的发展方向，即人工智能最好作为辅助工具，与教师合作，因此，作者写这篇文章的目的是解释人工智能如何改变教育。故选 B 项。

33．细节理解题。根据第三段“Monica Aiyeko of the Food and Agriculture department at Bondo University College has studied and published the effects of including native crickets into school meal programs in Kenya. Her studies have found that about 30% of Kenyan households are short of food, leading to wide-spread malnutrition among children, particularly under the age of 5. Putting bugs into school feeding programs could provide children with the necessary nutrients to prevent poor growth. Generally, bugs are extremely nutritionally beneficial, rich in protein, omega-3 fats and iron.(邦多大学学院食品与农业系的莫妮卡·艾伊科耶研究并发表了有关在肯尼亚学校膳食计划中加入本土蟋蟀的效果的相关研究。她的研究发现，约 30%的肯尼亚家庭存在食物短缺问题，导致儿童普遍营养不良，尤其是5岁以下的儿童。将昆虫纳入学校供餐计划能够为孩子们提供必要的营养，以防止生长不良。一般来说，昆虫具有极高的营养价值，富含蛋白质、欧米伽-3脂肪酸和铁)”可知，艾伊科的研究主要关注在肯尼亚的学校餐食中加入昆虫的益处。故选D。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The popular Western opinion is best stated by New York Times writer Ligaya Mishan, “Europeans, and European settlers in North America, never had a bug-eating tradition. Indeed, we largely consider insects dirty and related to disease. This is a big misunderstanding that we need to clear up. All I want is a food cultural change, is that so much to ask ”(西方民众普遍的看法由《纽约时报》的撰稿人利加亚·米沙恩总结得最为恰当：“欧洲人以及在北美定居的欧洲人从未有过以昆虫为食的传统。实际上，我们普遍认为昆虫是肮脏的，并与疾病有关。这是一个我们需要澄清的重大误解。我所希望的只是饮食文化的转变，这难道要求太多吗？”)”可知，米沙恩对于吃虫子这件事持支持态度。故选C。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, about two billion people eat bugs, or insects, as part of their daily diet. That’s nearly a quarter of the global population, and yet most countries in Europe and North America, despite the nutritional and environmental benefits, are quite unwilling to eat bugs. So why should Westernized countries agree to include bugs in their daily diet (据联合国粮食及农业组织的数据，约有 20 亿人将昆虫作为日常饮食的一部分。这占全球人口的近四分之一。然而，欧洲和北美大多数国家尽管认识到昆虫具有营养和环境方面的诸多益处，却仍然不太愿意食用昆虫。那么，西方化国家为何要同意将昆虫纳入其日常饮食呢？)”结合文章主要说明了联合国粮农组织称20亿人日常食用昆虫，食用昆虫有营养和环境益处，西方因传统观念不愿吃，需改变饮食文化。可知，B选项“昆虫：菜单的改变”最符合文章标题。故选B。

How to Improve English Handwriting
Good afternoon, everyone! Currently, many of us have poor English handwriting, with messy strokes and irregular letter shapes, which not only affects the neatness of our homework and exams but also leaves a bad impression on teachers.
To improve our English handwriting, I suggest we start from the following aspects. First of all, we need to develop a correct writing posture and grip the pen properly, which is the foundation of good handwriting. Secondly, we should practice regularly. We can start with simple letters and words, and then gradually move on to sentences and paragraphs. Moreover, we should pay attention to the details in writing, such as the slant, spacing and size of letters.
In conclusion, improving English handwriting requires our persistence and patience. Let's take action right now.
Thank you!Possible version2:
How to Improve English Handwriting
Dear teachers and fellow students.
It's my great honor to deliver a speech here. Nowadays, many students have poor English handwriting and ignore the importance of English handwriting, leading to messy and unrecognizable work. This not only affects communication but also leaves a poor impression in exams.
To address this issue, here are my suggestions. First, practice basic letter forms daily. Spend 10 minutes tracing standard alphabets to build muscle memory. Second, slow down when writing. Rushing often results in uneven strokes, so focus on consistency. Additionally, observing and imitating beautiful handwriting samples can inspire improvement. Remember, neat handwriting reflects discipline and boosts confidence in exams.
Let's take action now! With patience and persistence, we can all achieve clear and elegant English handwriting.
Thank you!
67．范文
With fifteen minutes left, I knew I had to make a choice. I took a deep breath and gently pushed the paper back toward Lily. Her eyes widened in surprise. I gave her a smile and pointed to the words on her pencil box: ”Honor First, Victory Follows.” Lily’s face flushed. She nodded, stepped on the paper and paid no attention to it anymore. Together, we focused on the remaining questions, using our brains instead of notes. The last few minutes were tense, but we felt a new sense of teamwork. When the bell finally rang, we handed in our papers, looking at each other with relief.
After the exam, Lily and I sat in silence under the old oak tree. The sunlight streamed through the leaves, casting shadows on our faces. After what seemed a century, I broke the silence and explained, “We promised to be honest, so...” Lily nodded, tears in her eyes. “I know. I was just so scared of failing.” We hugged tightly, knowing our bond was stronger than any test score. The oak tree’s leaves rustled above us, as if cheering us on. From then on, we studied even harder, facing challenges together with honesty and courage.
