第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分 50 分)
第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
In the Chinese film Ne Zha 2, many treasures of ancient cultural relics are brought to life. Let’s take a closer look at these cultural elements and the real-life prototypes(原型) that inspired them.
Seven-colored lotus
In Ne Zha 2, the seven-colored lotus plays a critical role in reconstructing the bodies of the heroes, Ne Zha and Ao Bing. This concept is inspired by the Boshan censer(香炉), a 2,000-year-old bronze burner housed at the Hebei Museum.
Barrier beasts
If you’ve seen both Ne Zha films, you’re sure to remember the lovely and charming barrier beasts—funny creatures that serve as guardians. These creatures bear a striking similarity to ancient relics from the Sanxingdui culture.
Tianyuan tripod
The Tianyuan tripod in the film is a key tool in the Jade Xu Palace. Its design draws inspiration from the bronze tripods used during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The tripod was a symbol of power and status in ancient China, often used in ceremonies.
Jade Xu Palace
When Ne Zha travels to the Jade Xu Palace, a group of birds flies in the sky, with two of them landing on the palace roof. This scene is inspired by the famous painting “Ruihe Tu” by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty (Zhao Ji). Emperor Huizong painted this scene on silk, symbolizing his blessing for the country and its people.
What inspired the design of the seven-colored lotus in Ne Zha 2
The painting Ruihe Tu.
Sanxingdui cultural relics.
Bronze tripods in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
The Boshan censer from the Hebei Museum.
What does the tripod represent in ancient China
Artistic creativity. B. Religious beliefs.
C. Power and status. D. Technological progress.
Where is this passage most likely taken from
A book review. B. A history textbook.
C. An entertainment magazine. D. A travel guide.
B
Nicole Latham is a 21-year-old law student from the University of Leeds. Not only does she devote her time to law classes, but she also competes in weightlifting competitions.
Beyond these academic and physical pursuits, Nicole is also in and out of the doctor’s office. She was diagnosed (诊断) with multiple sclerosis(MS), a rare disease, a year ago. The first attack happened while she was preparing for her A-Levels, a hugely stressful time for many students. Initially, she blamed her symptoms (症状) on stress.
Nicole carried on preparing for her exams. She sat with one eye closed to improve her vision which was damaged by her vertigo (眩晕) experience. That was when she decided to act and head back to the doctor’s office. She took loads of medicines, but no progress was made. Feeling something might be going wrong, she immediately went to the hospital for further examinations.
Following an MRI scan, she was diagnosed with MS. After this first attack and her MS diagnosis, Nicole didn’t experience another for a few years. But in August 2021, she had another. This attack made her left hand shake for two months. Despite the obvious challenge caused by the disease in daily life, she didn’t let it hinder her ambitions. And her goal was to show other young people with disabilities that they could live their lives and still enjoy an active lifestyle.
Today, Nicole uses her page not only to spread awareness of MS, encouraging people not to miss symptoms, as she did at first, but also to show people they can live a full and satisfying life with MS. She wants to show the highs as much as the lows.
4 What is the main reason for Nicole’s frequent visits to the doctor
She pursues a career in medical research.
She seeks advice on balancing study and sports.
She needs regular check-ups for her rare disease.
She struggles with mobility issues from an injury.
Which symptom did Nicole experience during her initial MS episode
Sudden loss of vision in both eyes.
Dizziness leading to visual impairment.
Uncontrollable shaking in the left hand.
Extreme fatigue without obvious cause.
What is Nicole’s primary purpose in sharing her story online
To document her personal struggles.
To promote weightlifting as a therapy.
To cheer up others with similar challenges.
To seek financial support for her treatment.
Which word can best describe Nicole
A. Creative. B. Inspiring. C. Humorous. D. Professional.
C
Adolescence can be flooded with anxieties and challenges, but today’s youth face unique threats on a scale encountered by no previous generation, according to an exhaustive new report on their health and wellbeing.
More than one billion people aged 10 to 24 are at risk of poor health outcomes by 2030,which is at least half the global adolescent population, concluded the report published on Tuesday in the Lancet, a leading medical journal. Adolescents are experiencing rising rates of obesity and mental health struggles, while also wrestling with the influence of digital technologies and a destabilized global climate.
“Even I was shocked by what some of these numbers and future predictions look like,” says Sarah Baird, a professor of global health and economics at the George Washington University and co-chair of the Lancet Commission that produced the report. “It’s clear that we’re already in, and going to be increasingly in, a crisis of bad health among young people.”
Lancet Commissions are independent research teams convened by the Lancet to examine specific health topics and recommend policy actions. This report was compiled by 44 experts, including ten Youth Commissioners, who reviewed some 550 peer-reviewed studies since starting their work in 2021. It follows the first report on adolescent health and wellbeing published in 2016.
“What life is like as an adolescent today is very different than ten years ago,” says Baird. “Given all these other competing demands for resources, attention, and focus, adolescents have once again fallen into the background. It’s time to really remind people of why they’re important, and that ignoring them in this time of rapid change is
potentially disastrous.”
Though there is some good news in the report’s findings — declining rates of cigarette smoking and alcohol use and better access to education particularly for girls — the report warns that the health of young people is at “a tipping point” in an uncertain and rapidly changing world.
According to the passage, which is a unique threat to today’s adolescents
A sharp decline in cigarette smoking rates.
Reduced risks of obesity due to global climate changes.
The growing impact of digital technologies on mental health.
D Improved access to education for adolescent girls worldwide.
What is the good news revealed in the report’s findings
All-round health improvement.
More education access for boys.
No health risks in a changing world.
Better girls’ education.
What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage
To highlight the decline in youth smoking rates.
To discuss the benefits of digital technology.
To compare Lancet reports from different years.
To warn about the youth health crisis and call for action.
Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage
The Lancet: A Guardian of Global Health
Sarah Baird’s Efforts in Adolescent Health Research
Adolescents: Caught in the Crossfire of Modern Threats
Good News and Bad News: A Glimpse into Adolescent Life
D
Many animals depend on sound for survival — finding food, detecting danger, and communicating. When noisy motorways cut through their habitats, these creatures face challenges. Some adapt by speaking louder, others shift their calling times, and a few relocate to quieter areas. However, all these adjustments come at a cost, and noise pollution has long been recognized as harmful to the environment.
For a long time, it was believed that only animals were affected by noise. But a new study by botanist Ali Akbar
Ghotbi-Ravandi from Shahid Behesti University in Tehran reveals that plants suffer too. Plants can be indirectly harmed by noise. Most flowering plants rely on pollinators, and fruit-bearing plants need animals to spread seeds. If these animals are damaged by noise, the plants will struggle. Yet, whether plants are directly impacted by noise remained unknown.
Sounds are pressure waves traveling through gases, liquids, and solids. Scientists suspected plants could sense these waves. Recent lab experiments found that when exposed to ultrasound (超声波), plants show negative responses — activating stress-related genes, growing stuntedly, and having fewer seeds sprout. However, lab-based
ultrasound exposure differs from real-world traffic noise. To explore this, Dr. Ghotbi-Ravandi conducted an experiment. His team grew two common urban plants from seeds in the lab. After two months of growth, the plants were divided into two groups. One group was exposed to 73-decibel traffic noise (recorded from a busy Tehran motorway) for 16 hours daily; the other grew in silence. After 15 days, samples from the youngest fully-developed leaves were analyzed.
Plants in the noisy group fared poorly. Chemical markers of stress were much higher. Notably, it doubled compared to the quiet group. This study proves noise pollution directly harms plants, highlighting a broader environmental threat.
What was the aim of Dr. Ghotbi-Ravandi’s experiment
To prove that ultrasound harms plants.
To test if plants can adapt to traffic noise.
To compare the growth of different urban plants.
To find out if plants are directly affected by traffic noise.
From the passage, we can infer that .
noise pollution may largely harm the ecosystem
plants and animals react to noise in the same way
only urban plants are affected by traffic noise
plants can protect themselves from noise pollution
The underlined word “stuntedly” in paragraph 4 means “ ”.
A. quickly B. slowly. C. healthily D. alone
What’s the best title for the passage
Urban Plants: Victims of Traffic Noise.
How Noise Pollution Changes Ecosystems.
New Study: Plants Suffer from Noise Directly.
Plants and Animals: Partners in Noise Pollution.

Peace is a precious blessing. In peaceful times, schools thrive, families stay united, and cultures flourish.
However, war ruins everything. 16 They leave us a terrifying and unforgettable impression.
Understanding war and peace connects to our sense of responsibility. Peace teaches us the happiness of being alive. 17 We can take part in school-based peace-promotion activities, like themed debates or charity
events for war-affected regions. By doing so, we spread the message of peace and learn to empathize with those suffering.
History is a mirror. Studying past wars, such as World WarⅡ, shows us the horrors of aggression and the power of unity in seeking peace. 18 We learn that peace isn’t just the absence of war but a state of mutual respect,
cooperation, and understanding among nations.
19 On one hand, advanced weapons in war cause greater damage. On the other hand, the internet
spreads peace-related ideas rapidly. It enables us to connect with global youth who share the same vision of peace.
Yet, challenges exist. Misunderstandings between countries, resource conflicts, and ethnic tensions still threaten peace. 20 Our small effort, from promoting cultural exchanges to learning foreign languages for better
communication, contributes to building a more peaceful world.
Technology adds new dimensions.
Peace-building is time-consuming and complex.
It’s our duty to pass on the value of peace to the next generation.
Meanwhile, war teaches us the fragility of peace and the need to safeguard it.
The images of war-torn areas often shown in the media are heart-breaking.
We should also reflect on how to prevent history’s tragedies from repeating.
As young people, we should stay informed, think critically, and voice our support for peaceful solutions.

47. 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。
Anna’s classmates at Esmarth Vil Primary School hardly understood her. While they chased each other across the playground during recess (课间休息), she sat under the old oak tree, her nose buried in a book. “Why does she even bother ” Robert would sneer, kicking a soccer ball past her. The others laughed, but Anna just adjusted her
glasses and turned the page. Anna was the best student in school, but nobody wanted to be her friend. Sometimes, when she tried to join group activities, other kids would pretend not to see her — until the day the math competition changed everything.
The competition’s first round seemed like another routine victory for Anna. She finished her paper confidently unaware that Robert had been watching her. As she handed in her test, he bumped into her, his hand brushing her desk. He had signed his exam paper using Anna’s name, and switched the two papers.
When the teacher, Mr. Thompson, announced the winners, everybody was shocked, everyone except for Robert. He looked around and tried to hide his smug (沾沾自喜的) smile. Some exchanged glances and clapped their hands over their mouths. “Did you see that I guess she’s not so smart after all!” Some whispered. Anna’s stomach dropped. She had studied for weeks — how could she have failed
During recess, Anna stayed in the classroom, her head buried in her arms. Just then, a timid tap on her shoulder interrupted her thoughts. It was Lily, a girl who had never spoken to her before. “Um…we’re playing tag (贴人游戏) at recess,” Lily mumbled, avoiding eye contact. “You can join if you want.” Anna blinked, unsure if she’d heard
correctly. Was this pity Or something else At first, Ann a hesitated, but Lily pulled her gently toward the door. To her amazement, three other kids waved at her. For the first time, Anna felt the warm rush of being included — even if she tripped over her own feet chasing them.

Dear Jim,
Thank you for your letter. I’m writing to share my ideas about students' using AI to assist learning with you.
Regarding AI tools like ChatGPT and DeepSeek, I believe they can be beneficial for students. Firstly, they provide instant answers and explanations, helping us solve difficult problems efficiently. Besides, they offer abundant learning resources beyond textbooks. However, overreliance may weaken independent thinking. Moreover, AI-generated content is not always accurate, and some students might use it to complete assignments without learning.
To make the best use of AI, I suggest that students should treat it as a study aid rather than a replacement.
Always verify information with teachers and focus on developing critical thinking.
Yours, Li Hua
【参考范文】
The truth came out the next morning. Mr. Thompson entered the classroom with a serious expression. Holding up two test papers, he declared, “There has been a grave error. Anna’s and Robert’s papers were switched by mistake.” The classroom fell into a stunned silence. Robert’s face turned as white as a sheet, and his hands trembled slightly. When confronted, he finally confessed his wrongdoing with his head hung low. Shamefaced, the classmates who had mocked Anna apologized heartfully. Overwhelmed by a mix of relief and surprise, Anna managed a faint smile, “It’s all right.”
By afternoon recess, everything had changed. Instead of sitting alone under the oak tree, Anna found herself surrounded by classmates. They invited her to play jump rope, “Come on, Anna! We need one more!” The other kids nodded eagerly. As they laughed and jumped together, Anna felt a sense of belonging she had never experienced before. From that day on, she no longer ate lunch by herself or studied alone during breaks. Months later, when Anna won the regional math championship, her classmates cheered the loudest, their applause echoing with genuine pride and friendship.
