Ⅰ. 话题拓展阅读。
As William Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition. “We have Dante, Shakespeare and Du Fu. These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged，” remarked Harvard Professor Stephen Owen in Du Fu: China's Greatest Poet, a BBC documentary.
Aimed at introducing the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers around the globe, the documentary invited famous British actor Ian McKellen, who played the wizard Gandalf in the film series The Lord of the Rings, to read 15 of Du's poems that have been translated into English.①
The one hour film traces the poet's life experiences in detail. Born in 712, Du lived under the reign of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong(712756), a time marked by extraordinary prosperity, inclusiveness and cultural accomplishments.②
However, as the An Lushan Rebellion floored the empire, the 43 year old Du, the former civil servant at the Tang court, had to take his family out of his hometown, and faced starvation and sufferings. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing and about 1，500 poems have been kept over the ages.
Even though he never held a high position in the government, Du still cared about common people. For example, in the poem My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales, he wrote that “Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles, I'd house all scholars poor and make them beam with smiles.”③
“That is why he was honored as a Poet Sage by later generations. A difficult life and his spirit of concern about the world helped him create so many masterpieces，” Shi Wenxue, a cultural critic based in Beijing, told Global Times.
Without doubt, Du is a cultural symbol of ancient China, but his brilliant works and core spirits have also inspired people outside China. As the documentary noted, his works represent a precious cultural heritage for the entire world, not just China.
一、 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(　　) 1. What can we know about the documentary
A. It introduces Shakespeare.
B. Du Fu is acted by Ian McKellen in it.
C. Its target audience is Chinese.
D. It shows 15 of Du Fu's poems to the audience.
(　　) 2. What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 6 refer to
A. Caring about common people.
B. My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales.
C. The low position in the government.
D. The sentence of the poem.
(　　) 3. What most inspired Du's creation according to Shi Wenxue
A. His work experience.
B. A hard life and his caring spirit.
C. The An Lushan Rebellion.
D. The Tang Dynasty's cultural background.
(　　) 4. In which section of a website may this text appear
A. Entertainment. B. Health.
C. Literature. D. Science.

The phrase “play it by ear” is not often used in a serious way. Actually the expression is all about being flexible. __2__ Just like a musician playing an instrument without sheet music, you make decisions based on what you observe as things happen, rather than following a strict schedule.

__4__ For social plans like a party, if you're not sure how long you want to stay at a party, you might say, “Let's play it by ear and see how the evening goes.” In work meetings, you may use it to adjust strategies flexibly. And for travel plans, this phrase suggests that you'll decide on stops and activities based on what you feel like doing at the time. In each example, “play it by ear” allows for a relaxed, adaptable approach.
__5__ By freeing yourselves from fixed planning, you open up to a world of possibilities and handle all challenges gracefully.
A. Use the phrase carefully.
B. Don't look at sheet music.
C. This skill is known as “ear play”．

Early in the morning, while it's still dark outside, I rise from bed, anticipating the day ahead. I leave my room and go downstairs to the __1__ room of the assisted living facility.

I call these couple of hours in the very early part of my day “My Quiet Hours”. I can think clearly when it's just me and the __4__ of a soon to be noisy dining room.
When breakfast is over and the day has officially __5__， I must sneak(偷偷地做) moments for __6__ into my day. While the other __7__ go to the Activities Room to __8__ themselves—making birthday cards or playing card games, I quietly close the door to my room and remain __9__ and write. These quiet moments I __10__ for myself take up most of my day, and I like it that way.
One of the __11__ of living in an assisted living facility is that, after all these years, I can spend more time doing what I love to do. Gone are the __12__ days that didn't offer any spare time for me to construct a __13__， let alone a sentence. All of us need __14__ time to examine our lives openly and honestly—spending quiet time alone gives my mind a(n) __15__ to renew itself.

A[2025三明期末]
For business leaders, the idea of applying AI such as ChatGPT to strategic planning is mouthwatering. But how do we identify the areas where AI can boost strategic planning Can AI overcome blind spots and predict the future
Keith is CEO of Trident, a commercial agricultural company. Keith called his members for their annual strategy discussion. One step involved listing the “key strategic issues”. Here's the team's list: Competition; Branch number and location; Product pricing; Profitability; Climate. While Keith was happy with the list, he recognized they had a limited perspective. As agricultural scientists, they knew their game, but they didn't know any others. Hence, Keith raised two questions: Can AI provide a non agricultural perspective Can AI help forecast future demand for service
The first concerns a single minded view based on the industry experience alone. Keith wanted to tap into a viewpoint outside agricultural science to produce a fresh perspective. He turned to AI for help.
AI's response contained multiple headings. Was there anything new Yes. But there were also misses. AI didn't pick up “branch number and location” and “profitability” on Keith's list. “Branch location” is a very specific issue to Trident and AI hardly knows about that. Not mentioning “profitability” was a big miss. Also, it didn't mention the critical issue of “product pricing” related to competition. AI's large language model lacks access to company specific information, explaining some misses. To tackle this, Keith regenerated responses to see alternative answers. For instance, asking AI to simply provide 10 more ideas helped create a longer list and avoid those obvious misses.
On Keith's first question, AI had succeeded. It presented important areas that Keith's team missed: technological advancements and regulatory changes. Keith's second question proved more challenging for AI, because it is trained on historical data and cannot predict the future.
However, with clever clues, AI can provide the team with food for thought. When asked “What will impact the future demand for our services？”， the tool highlighted factors, from changing consumer preferences to global population growth. These drivers help Keith's team think more broadly about demand.
(　　) 1. What does the author want to prove with Keith's company
A. AI's ability to spot different perspectives.
B. AI's function in improving production.
C. AI can contribute to strategic planning.
D. AI can boost profitability.
(　　) 2. What made Keith turn to AI for help
A. Limitations of his team's list. B. Dream to invent new technology.
C. Uncertainty about future demand. D. Change of the conventional pattern.
(　　) 3. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4
A. AI helped to spot new possibilities. B. AI ignored some important parts.
C. AI created automatic alternatives. D. AI accessed large language model.
(　　) 4. What's the author's attitude towards AI's application in strategic planning
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Disapproving. D. Unclear.
B[2025浙江名校协作体开学考]
The scene is one many of us have somewhere in our family history: dozens of people celebrating Thanksgiving or some other holidays around a makeshift stretch of family tables—siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, and great aunts. “It was the most beautiful place you've ever seen in your life，” says one, remembering his first day in America.
This particular family is the one shown in Barry Levinson's 1990 film, Avalon, based on his own childhood in Baltimore. “In my childhood，” Levinson told me, “you'd gather around the grandparents and they would tell the family stories …Now individuals sit around the TV, watching other families' stories.”
This is the story of our times—the story of the family, once a dense group of many siblings and extended relatives, fragmenting(分裂) into ever smaller and more fragile forms. The initial result of that fragmentation, the nuclear family, didn't seem so bad. But then, because the nuclear family is so brittle,_the fragmentation continued. In many sectors of society, nuclear families fragmented into single parent families, single parent families into chaotic families or no families.
Although the far reaching consequences are dramatic, we don't talk about family enough. It feels too judgmental. Too uncomfortable. Maybe even too religious. But the fact is that the nuclear family has been breaking into pieces in slow motion for decades, and many of our other problems—with education, mental health, addiction, the quality of the labor force—result from that fragmentation. We've left behind the nuclear family model of 1955. For most people it's not coming back. Americans are hungering to live in extended families, in ways that are new and ancient at the same time. This is a significant opportunity, a chance to thicken and broaden family relationships, a chance to allow more adults and children to live and grow under the loving gaze of a dozen pairs of eyes, and be caught, when they fall, by a dozen pairs of arms. For decades we have been eating at smaller and smaller tables, with fewer and fewer relatives.
It's time to find ways to bring back the big tables.
(　　) 5. What is mainly talked about in the first two paragraphs
A. The scene of warm old day family gatherings.
B. The comparison between past and present life.
C. The description of modern family celebrations.
D. The experiences of Barry Levinson's adulthood.
(　　) 6. What does the underlined word “brittle” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Strong and close. B. Stiff and complex.
C. Flexible and adaptable. D. Fragile and easily broken.
(　　) 7. What do we know about the nuclear family
A. It gradually falls apart with time.
B. It has been replaced by extended families.
C. It has grown more stable over time.
D. It helps to broaden our family relationships.
(　　) 8. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Nuclear Family Is Ideal B. The Nuclear Family Is a Mistake
C. The Extended Family Is a Hit D. The Extended Family Is Outdated

On April 26th, 2022, Italian traveller Vienna Cammarota set off from Venice, the hometown of the encouraging explorer Marco Polo, with the ambition of retracing his route to China along the ancient Silk Road on foot.
With a simple backpack and two trekking poles, 74 year old Cammarota covered over 20，000 km and passed through dozens of countries.

Describing herself as an ambassador of cultural exchange and modern day Marco Polo, Cammarota noted, “I want to know about Marco Polo and the Silk Road, but I also want to send a message to women of my age—it's never too late to pursue your dreams.”
(　　) 4. What encouraged Cammarota to walk along the Silk Road
A. Marco Polo's travelling experience.

Looking back, Geoff Banks of Devon, England can hardly even remember how he first started writing to his American friend, Celesta Byrne.
Geoff and Celesta were given each other's names and addresses as part of a school pen pal program back in 1938. They're both 100 years old now, and a lot has changed in the past 84 years: their age has changed; their appearance has changed; but one thing has not—they still use the traditional way to contact.
“I honestly struggle to remember something, but I was talking to Celesta recently and I think it was something to do with an American school's scheme，” Geoff said. “They matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship, and somehow I ended up with this letter from an American girl, and we've just kept corresponding(通信) ever since.”
Geoff and Celesta's relationship never turned romantic, but they shared a lot over the decades. They kept up their correspondence through World War Ⅱ， sending updates about their families, friends, and work. In 2002, they finally got a chance to meet in person during a trip to New York City. Two years later, they met up again, but ever since then they've gone back to pen and paper.
Recently, they've switched to digital forms of communication to stay in touch. Their children have helped them set up email accounts. “I've known this new thing called Zoom, I think, now to chat with her, but I leave all the technology to younger people. Deep down, I refuse to use Zoom. Writing to Celesta has been a source of great satisfaction for me over the years，” said Geoff.
Celesta says their relationship is “like people who live next door”. “You know how they're doing, you say a few words, and then you both go to work，” she explained. “She's always been there to write to, even if it was just birthday cards and Christmas cards，” Geoff added.
(　　) 1. What do Geoff and Celesta insist on doing over the 80 years
A. Sending cards. B. Writing to each other.
C. Enjoying telling jokes. D. Struggling to remember things.
(　　) 2. What do Geoff Banks' words in Paragraph 3 tell us
A. When they ran a scheme. B. Why they liked writing.
C. What they both liked to do. D. How they got in touch.
(　　) 3. Which of the following can best describe the relationship between Geoff and Celesta
A. Stable and romantic. B. Harmonious but short.
C. Close and lasting. D. Difficult but satisfying.
(　　) 4. What is the purpose of this text

D. To stress the power of technology.

Do you ever find yourself randomly thinking back to the times we wandered, collecting wild flowers and smiling beneath the sky That feeling is often referred to as nostalgia(怀旧).
Psychologists have defined nostalgia as a self conscious, social emotion, bittersweet but dominantly positive. It comes from our happy memories and our desire to go back to the past and reconnect with the people we care about. Often, nostalgia involves sensory stimuli. On some occasions, the smell of autumn leaves might generate a fierce longing for your childhood home. Almost everyone can experience nostalgia, although its object tends to vary throughout life. One survey conducted by the psychologist Krystine Irene Batcho found that younger people felt more nostalgia for pets, toys, and holidays than older people, who felt it more strongly for music.
In contrast to its links to negative emotions, nostalgia doesn't make us sadder. Rather, nostalgia is a defensive response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood. Research from 2006 shows that nostalgia can actually strengthen social ties, improve self esteem, and uplift our mood. Other studies suggest that it can also enhance our view of life's meaning, reduce fear of death, boost spirituality, and increase optimism.
Scholars remain uncertain about the precise mechanism behind the effectiveness of nostalgia; however, some suggest that reflecting on joyful memories strengthens our sense of self worth and belonging, particularly during times of loneliness or self doubt. Its power lets the happiness of the past overcome the current unpleasantness, offering a bit of escape from tough times. To form stronger connections, we can establish traditions around shared past experiences in families, friend groups, and workplaces. Observing special occasions like childhood sports or post college meetups can give us something to look forward to.
Perhaps because it is so powerful and complex, nostalgia has received magical treatment from poets and writers. “The past is hidden somewhere outside the realm(领域), beyond the reach of intellect，” Marcel Proust wrote.
(　　) 5. Why does the author mention “autumn leaves” in the second paragraph
A. To illustrate the complexity of nostalgia.
B. To emphasize the joyful nature of nostalgia.
C. To clarify nostalgia's connection to our senses.
D. To stress individual variety of experiencing nostalgia.
(　　) 6. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The mismatch between two findings.
B. The potential benefits of nostalgia.
C. The impact of nostalgia on personal mood.
D. The mechanisms behind nostalgia's effects.
(　　) 7. What does the author suggest we do in Paragraph 4
A. Create shared traditions for bonding and joy.
B. Record the social gatherings regularly.
C. Recognize the unnecessary social gatherings.
D. Say no to the concept of escapism.
(　　) 8. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Nostalgia: Why We Should Avoid Reflecting on the Past
B. Nostalgia: A Shelter Against the Unhappiness of Our Life
C. A Nostalgia Warning: Our Mental Health Being Attacked
D. Power of Nostalgia: Struggling for an Irreplaceable Present

In the 1940s, Josephine Baker, who was a big part of the new jazz style and culture and had a diverse group of fans, was one of the most famous women in France. The French people adored her as much as she loved France. So when World War Ⅱ threw France into great danger, she decided to do whatever she could to help the nation that had given her so much.①
In 1940, when armed German troops marched into Paris, some French people founded a secret alliance(同盟), known as the French Resistance. The group worked for the defence of France by assisting the European and American armies in the fight against the Germans.
As a member of the Resistance, Baker applied herself devotedly to the cause. The tasks she took up proved to be valuable. She collected coded messages written on her sheets of music and then relayed them to other members. At the same time, taking advantage of her fame, Baker provided shelter and goods for the Resistance members. It would have been dangerous if the Germans had found them.
Baker's final task was critical. She made it her mission to entertain German politicians and army members, whom she lured(引诱) in with her promises of a good show. While pleasing them with her singing and dancing, Baker, equipped with a small notebook at these concerts, listened for and wrote down details about the war.② She then sorted the details and turned in reports to the Resistance.
Some thought Baker's fame would be a problem. The Germans knew who she was, but they didn't think she was smart enough to work for the Resistance. So she could get information from the Germans easily, which helped the Resistance and the French army save lives and win the war.③ Baker had a big influence on the Resistance's work. When she died, the army and the French people held a special ceremony to honour her contribution.
一、 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(　　) 1. What happened when armed German troops entered Paris
A. They sent messages in secret code.

A. Her secret was exposed.
B. Her work was recognized.

D. Her fame caused a big trouble.

Body Language Tips for Your Next Interview
Body language can reveal a lot about you, and interviewers are definitely paying attention to it. For a job interview, you want to present the best version of yourself. __1__
Make a solid first impression. The interview begins as soon as you enter the building. When you connect with whomever you encounter, maintain strong eye contact and introduce yourself confidently. If you are in a waiting area, avoid hunching(弯腰驼背) over your phone. __2__ Instead, sit upright in a comfortable position.
