Being a writer in the 21st century can keep you in front of a screen for so long that it feels like the room is sideways. Being a human with the Internet can mean hours spent on social media, scrolling and posting for so long that your sense of reality actually becomes sideways. Three years ago, I started to search for ways to deal with my anxiety. I had a brilliant idea, one that felt completely foreign to people like me: I’d go outside, to the real outside.
I grew up in the city, not hiking or camping, so I knew nothing about the outdoors. I have three kids with endless energy, so I figured I could solve two questions at once. I would get a breather from my job and the kids would play with insects and realize there is nothing better than nature.
We drove to Great Falls, Virginia, where hundreds of people on any given day spent hours meandering through the hillside and forest. The blue water pulsed, turning white and crashing powerfully hundreds of feet beneath us. The kids held their breath as if they had seen magics. But it’s just nature, just the outside, and that had been there all along. Since then, we’ve been fascinated.
Last summer I felt my home’s walls closing in, so I decided to go camping. I built my first fire. My kids watched my every move, asking every ten minutes to help get more branches and roast meat. About a month, my craving to take a break from the city grew again. We camped two more times before the cold came, each time seeing a bit more of what nature had to offer city folks.
4．Why did the author decide to go outside three years ago
A．Because he was interested in nature. B．Because he hoped to reduce anxiety.
C．Because he fell in love with camping. D．Because he was eager for the outdoors.
5．What does the author want his kids to do
A．Enjoy the beauty of nature. B．Stay away from social media.
C．Learn to protect themselves. D．Choose to do what they are fond of.
6．How did the kids feel about the tour to Great Falls
A．Tired. B．Scared. C．Bored. D．Excited.
7．What does the underlined word “craving” in the last paragraph mean
A．Memory. B．Chance. C．Desire. D．Ability.
Great white sharks have been described as the most violent creature ever since the release of “Jaws” in 1975. But what if instead of one shark appearing, two were working together
Scientists say research off Mexico’s Guadalupe Island in the Pacific Ocean shows great white sharks are sociable and will sometimes work together to increase their chances of catching prey (猎物).
Guadalupe Island is home to a small group of scientists and a popular tourist destination for spotting great white sharks because of a large quantity of seals. What makes this location unique is the waters off the island are very clear.
A team of scientists from Florida International University created a “super social tag” tracking device to put on the great white sharks. With a video camera and sensors detecting a shark’s depth and direction, the device also has receivers to detect when other sharks are near them. The team then put the devices on three male and three female white sharks over a four-year period.
The data showed sharks preferred to be in groups of the same sex (性别), but their ways of hunting were unique. One shark had the tag on for only 30 hours, but it associated with 12 other sharks. Another that had the tag on for five days was only with two other sharks. “Most associations were short, but there were sharks where we found considerably longer associations,” Yannis Papastamatiou, lead author of the study, said. “Seventy minutes is a long time to be swimming around with another white shark.”
Papastamatiou said there is no clear answer to why white sharks are being social, but it’s probably because if one shark is successful in finding large prey, another will want to know how to have the same success. The sample size is small, but Papastamatiou said the findings give scientists a window into the relationship between sharks. He hopes to develop tracking systems that can be used for weeks, possibly years, to see the development of relationships between sharks.
8．What does the author want to tell us in the first 2 paragraphs
A．The purpose of the research. B．The social nature of sharks.
C．The content of Jaws. D．The violence of sharks.
9．What’s the purpose of using the “super social tag”
A．To increase the chance of hunting.
B．To promote associations among sharks.
C．To keep track of the sharks’ activities.
D．To study the relationships between sharks and their prey.
10．What can we learn about sharks from the research
A．They are divided into groups of the same sex.
B．They have quite similar hunting habits.
C．Their associations last at least 70 minutes.
D．The frequency of sharks’ communications varies.
11．How does Papaslamatiou feel about his future study
A．Uncertain. B．Doubtful. C．Promising. D．Cautious.
Healthcare organizations face big problems: costs are rising, but income is growing slowly. Cloud technology offers a solution by replacing outdated systems, improving efficiency, and enhancing care. Key benefits include helping doctors make better decisions by giving them faster access to patient information, lowering costs by making operations run smoother — which is crucial when government payments are low — and providing stronger security to protect patient data. As Dr. Michelle Flemmings from Oracle notes, older computer systems often made work harder with repetitive tasks, while the cloud makes accessing data easier and reduces doctors’ workload.
Adding AI makes the cloud even more powerful. AI acts like a smart helper for doctors. Flemmings compares it to having a top medical expert by your side. AI helps assess patient risks, suggests best practices, and finds vital information in health records instantly. This teamwork speeds up tasks, like finding patients who qualify for clinical trials during regular visits — opportunities often missed before. Also, AI-powered patient websites offer personalized services like online booking, meeting the high demand for digital options.
Cloud uses are growing fast: reducing missed appointments, automating complex data analysis, spotting security risks, and simplifying administration tasks. However, moving to the cloud has challenges, mainly cost and security worries. Flemmings advises starting small with pilot projects to fix specific problems, especially for smaller hospitals. Importantly, cloud security is often better than old systems, with AI boosting threat detection. As Amar Nagaram from IU Health highlights, the cloud simplifies tech systems and improves teamwork.
Ultimately, the cloud is changing healthcare’s future. It cuts costs and tech burdens while speeding up innovation. Secure cloud tools let patients access care remotely, beyond the clinic. Nagaram states that without cloud tech, healthcare groups can’t compete. While moving needs careful planning, progress is happening. For example, IU Health uses AI to prioritize urgent patient help requests. Cloud technology is building a foundation for healthcare focused on patients, quality, and constant innovation.
12．What are the primary pressures driving healthcare towards cloud adoption
A．Demand for better patient experiences.
B．Shortage of physical data storage space.
C．Rising costs and slowing revenue growth.
D．Government requirements for new technology.
13．How is AI described when assisting a doctor
A．A clinical support tool. B．A top consultant nearby.
C．A real-time data processor. D．An independent advisor.
14．What is the recommended strategy for adopting cloud technology
A．Gradual launch starting small. B．Ignoring cost considerations.
C．Taking full-system migration. D．Outsourcing all IT operations.
15．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Rise of Digital Patient Portals.
B．The AI Revolution in Medical Diagnosis.
C．Cutting Healthcare Costs Through Technology.
D．Revolutionizing Healthcare Through Cloud Technology.
Learning English can be hard, but don’t give up! With enough practice and right ways, you can learn the language well. 16 .
Watch movies and TV shows in English. 17 . This will make it more fun, which will help you actually learn English. However, you should avoid watching movies or television shows with subtitles (字幕) in your native language — they will take your attention away and you will be less likely to learn English from it.
Read a book, newspaper or magazine in English. 18 . Find something you like — whether that’s a famous English novel or a fashion magazine — and read it. Try to understand what you’re reading. Mark words that you don’t know, and look them up in the dictionary.
19 . Aside from reading and listening in English, you should also spend some time improving your written English skills. Writing in English will help you to work on your sentence structure (句型), grammar and spelling. Try keeping an English diary where you write down a few sentences every day. It doesn’t have to be personal — you could write about the weather, or what you ate for dinner.
Find a pen-pal (笔友) who is a native English speaker. Once your written English has improved, you could consider getting an English-speaking pen-pal! Your pen-pal could be a native English speaker who wants to practice their foreign language skills by writing to you in your native language. Meanwhile you can talk with your pen-pal in English. 20 .
A．Keep a diary in English
B．Here are some tips for you
C．Develop good speaking and writing skills
D．Studying a language is not just for your future
E．Reading is a great way to improve your English
F．In this way you can learn more about each other
G．Try to pick movies or TV shows that you will enjoy

七、书面表达
57．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。续写的词数应为150左右。
On a warm afternoon, we first saw “Big Red” when my father, mother, and I (Frank) stopped as usual to have a look and do a bit of dreaming at Eaton’s department store window on our way home.
Amongst beautiful toys lay a stunning red satin (缎子) dress. Mother’s eyes fixed on it. “My goodness,” she whispered, “Look at that”, She then glanced down at her own heavy grey wool coat, worn every winter for as long as I could remember. Mother, constantly doing chores like laundry, tending pigs, and gardening, always wore practical housedresses and an apron (围裙). She owned just one or two“special” dresses for significant events and made most of our comfortable, simple clothes.
“What a silly dress”, she said to herself, shaking her head. “Who on earth would want such a big thing ” Yet, as we walked away, she turned back for one last look. “My goodness! You’d think they’d display something useful.”
As Mother’s Day approached, the red dress was soon forgotten. Mother, intensely practical, never spent money on non-essentials (必需品). “There are things we need more than this,” she’d insist. Choosing her gift was difficult. When asked, she requested only useful items like tea towels or a new basin.
During our last trip to town before Mother’s Day, with us driving up Main Street, Mother suddenly shouted: “Look”, She pointed excitedly as father drove past Eaton’s. “That big red dress is gone”, she exclaimed in disbelief. Shaking her head, she questioned, “Who’d be fool enough to buy such a dress ” But I was certain I was aware of a distinct trace of longing (一丝渴望) beneath her words. The absence of the dress seemed to highlight its beauty rather than erase it from memory.Paragraph 1:
On the morning of Mother’s Day, Mother got a large box that read “Eaton’s Finest Basin” on its wrapping paper.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“Oh Frank…” She choked up and couldn’t say a word, tears welling up in her eyes.

56．Possible version 1:
Technology in the Classroom: Blessing or Curse
The plan to fully introduce AI into classrooms marks a significant shift in education. In my view, this change is more of a blessing than a curse, if implemented wisely.
AI-powered learning companions can offer personalized lessons tailored to each student’s pace and level, making learning more engaging and effective. They can also assist teachers by handling routine tasks, allowing more time for interactive and creative teaching. However, over-reliance on technology may reduce face-to-face interaction and critical thinking. It is crucial to ensure that AI serves as a tool to support, not replace, human educators.
With proper guidelines and a balanced approach, AI can greatly enrich the classroom experience and help build a more adaptive and inclusive education system.
Possible Version 2:
Technology in the Classroom: Blessing or Curse
When the news broke that AI tutors will replace paper books, my heart raced — half thrill, half fear. I vote “blessing”, provided we keep the human switch.
An electronic companion can diagnose a typo (打印错误) in my essay within seconds and re-offer examples matched exactly to my weak points; thus class time is freed for debates and experiments. Besides, updated cloud resources mean a village school and a city skyscraper classroom are finally reading the same page. Yet the screen glows colder than paper. If we surrender totally, algorithms may narrow our thinking to clicked answers and kill the joy of struggling through a poem. So let AI occupy the role of assistant, while teachers guard curiosity, empathy and grit.
Hold the machine, but hug the human — only this balance will turn the digital wave into lasting educational reform.
57．Paragraph 1:
On the morning of Mother’s Day, Mother got a large box that read “Eaton’s Finest Basin” on its wrapping paper. The instant she saw the box, she froze as if rooted to the ground. Mother thought it was a basin, but it turned out to be the “Big Red” dress when she opened the box. Her prior confusion had given way to excitement for gaining the dress. At that moment, I tiptoed to her and said loudly, “Happy Mother’s Day”, sneaking a smile at my father. Mother was nearly jumping in the air because of my surprising wish. “We noticed your longing for that dress, so we bought it as a gift for you.” I added in a sincere tone.
Paragraph 2:
“Oh Frank…” She choked up and couldn’t say a word, tears welling up in her eyes. I looked at her, with tears sparkling in my eyes to see my mother so emotional. “Mom, why not try it on ” Hearing my words, she grasped the dress and tried it on, looking at me expectantly. Within minutes, I saw my mom wearing the red dress and walking in front of me, patting her shoulder and stretching the sleeves. “Wow, you are so beautiful” My father stood there, as if glued on the ground. Mother’s dress was waving in the breeze and brightening under the sunshine. “Tough as life is, I have had the most precious thing— your love.” Mom’s words went like a warm stream.

Cloud uses are growing fast: reducing missed appointments, automating complex data analysis, spotting security risks, and simplifying administration tasks. However, moving to the cloud has challenges, mainly cost and security worries. Flemmings advises starting small with pilot projects to fix specific problems, especially for smaller hospitals. Importantly, cloud security is often better than old systems, with AI boosting threat detection. As Amar Nagaram from IU Health highlights, the cloud simplifies tech systems and improves teamwork.
Ultimately, the cloud is changing healthcare’s future. It cuts costs and tech burdens while speeding up innovation. Secure cloud tools let patients access care remotely, beyond the clinic. Nagaram states that without cloud tech, healthcare groups can’t compete. While moving needs careful planning, progress is happening. For example, IU Health uses AI to prioritize urgent patient help requests. Cloud technology is building a foundation for healthcare focused on patients, quality, and constant innovation.

19 . Aside from reading and listening in English, you should also spend some time improving your written English skills. Writing in English will help you to work on your sentence structure (句型), grammar and spelling. Try keeping an English diary where you write down a few sentences every day. It doesn’t have to be personal — you could write about the weather, or what you ate for dinner.
Find a pen-pal (笔友) who is a native English speaker. Once your written English has improved, you could consider getting an English-speaking pen-pal! Your pen-pal could be a native English speaker who wants to practice their foreign language skills by writing to you in your native language. Meanwhile you can talk with your pen-pal in English. 20 .

On a warm afternoon, we first saw “Big Red” when my father, mother, and I (Frank) stopped as usual to have a look and do a bit of dreaming at Eaton’s department store window on our way home.
Amongst beautiful toys lay a stunning red satin (缎子) dress. Mother’s eyes fixed on it. “My goodness,” she whispered, “Look at that”, She then glanced down at her own heavy grey wool coat, worn every winter for as long as I could remember. Mother, constantly doing chores like laundry, tending pigs, and gardening, always wore practical housedresses and an apron (围裙). She owned just one or two“special” dresses for significant events and made most of our comfortable, simple clothes.
“What a silly dress”, she said to herself, shaking her head. “Who on earth would want such a big thing ” Yet, as we walked away, she turned back for one last look. “My goodness! You’d think they’d display something useful.”
As Mother’s Day approached, the red dress was soon forgotten. Mother, intensely practical, never spent money on non-essentials (必需品). “There are things we need more than this,” she’d insist. Choosing her gift was difficult. When asked, she requested only useful items like tea towels or a new basin.
During our last trip to town before Mother’s Day, with us driving up Main Street, Mother suddenly shouted: “Look”, She pointed excitedly as father drove past Eaton’s. “That big red dress is gone”, she exclaimed in disbelief. Shaking her head, she questioned, “Who’d be fool enough to buy such a dress ” But I was certain I was aware of a distinct trace of longing (一丝渴望) beneath her words. The absence of the dress seemed to highlight its beauty rather than erase it from memory.Paragraph 1:
On the morning of Mother’s Day, Mother got a large box that read “Eaton’s Finest Basin” on its wrapping paper.

Paragraph 2:
“Oh Frank…” She choked up and couldn’t say a word, tears welling up in her eyes.

56．Possible version 1:
Technology in the Classroom: Blessing or Curse
The plan to fully introduce AI into classrooms marks a significant shift in education. In my view, this change is more of a blessing than a curse, if implemented wisely.
AI-powered learning companions can offer personalized lessons tailored to each student’s pace and level, making learning more engaging and effective. They can also assist teachers by handling routine tasks, allowing more time for interactive and creative teaching. However, over-reliance on technology may reduce face-to-face interaction and critical thinking. It is crucial to ensure that AI serves as a tool to support, not replace, human educators.
With proper guidelines and a balanced approach, AI can greatly enrich the classroom experience and help build a more adaptive and inclusive education system.
Possible Version 2:
Technology in the Classroom: Blessing or Curse
When the news broke that AI tutors will replace paper books, my heart raced — half thrill, half fear. I vote “blessing”, provided we keep the human switch.
An electronic companion can diagnose a typo (打印错误) in my essay within seconds and re-offer examples matched exactly to my weak points; thus class time is freed for debates and experiments. Besides, updated cloud resources mean a village school and a city skyscraper classroom are finally reading the same page. Yet the screen glows colder than paper. If we surrender totally, algorithms may narrow our thinking to clicked answers and kill the joy of struggling through a poem. So let AI occupy the role of assistant, while teachers guard curiosity, empathy and grit.
Hold the machine, but hug the human — only this balance will turn the digital wave into lasting educational reform.
57．Paragraph 1:
On the morning of Mother’s Day, Mother got a large box that read “Eaton’s Finest Basin” on its wrapping paper. The instant she saw the box, she froze as if rooted to the ground. Mother thought it was a basin, but it turned out to be the “Big Red” dress when she opened the box. Her prior confusion had given way to excitement for gaining the dress. At that moment, I tiptoed to her and said loudly, “Happy Mother’s Day”, sneaking a smile at my father. Mother was nearly jumping in the air because of my surprising wish. “We noticed your longing for that dress, so we bought it as a gift for you.” I added in a sincere tone.
Paragraph 2:
“Oh Frank…” She choked up and couldn’t say a word, tears welling up in her eyes. I looked at her, with tears sparkling in my eyes to see my mother so emotional. “Mom, why not try it on ” Hearing my words, she grasped the dress and tried it on, looking at me expectantly. Within minutes, I saw my mom wearing the red dress and walking in front of me, patting her shoulder and stretching the sleeves. “Wow, you are so beautiful” My father stood there, as if glued on the ground. Mother’s dress was waving in the breeze and brightening under the sunshine. “Tough as life is, I have had the most precious thing— your love.” Mom’s words went like a warm stream.
