第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分42.5分）

A
Yang Li, a native Miao woman passionate about embroidery, owns a folk culture products shop that sells Miao embroidery, batik cloth, and silver jewelry. At first, the small shop struggled as there were many similar products on the market. Yang realized the need for a unique brand to stand out from the competition. During a hike in Fanjing Mountain in July 2011, Yang accidentally cut her hand on a thorny leaf. This gave her an idea; “There are leaf-vein bookmarks and leaf-vein paintings. Why has nobody created leaf-vein embroidery yet ”
Obviously, the reason behind this is that embroidering on leaves requires delicate skills that few possess. Yang Li collected thousands of leaves from Fanjing Mountain and processed them by steaming, boiling, and tanning them to expose their veins. While the leaves become soft, they are also extremely fragile. The biggest challenge was improving the flexibility of the leaves. After consulting local expert Shen Min, she learned that soaking them in acidic water could make them tough enough for embroidery.
Through continuous learning and practice, she succeeded in creating her first piece of leaf-vein embroidery, which perfectly combines traditional embroidery patterns with the natural textures of the leaves. By adding traditional designs from the Miao, Tujia, and Dong ethnic groups, she produced art that exhibits a unique aesthetic appeal of traditional embroidery with contemporary craftsmanship. Yang notes that typically, only those with decades of embroidery experience can independently complete the entire leaf-embroidery process, which is fewer than 20 people in Tongren from 2011 to now.
Two years later, Yang opened an embroidery processing factory and offered jobs to more than 500 laid-off female workers, rural women, and people with disabilities. “Guizhou is a province with a large number of ethnic groups and has a long history of ethnic embroidery skills,” she says. “I will keep doing the leaf-vein embroidery for the rest of my life because it is meaningful.”
1. What inspired Yang Li to create leaf-vein embroidery
A. Her love for Miao embroidery. B. The discovery of a special leaf.
C. An accidental injury to her hand. D. A decrease in her shop’s earnings.
2. What is the biggest challenge for Yang Li
A. Softening the leaves. B. Exposing veins of leaves.
C. Collecting suitable leaves. D. Making leaves more flexible.
3. What do we know about Yang Li’s leaf-vein embroidery
A. It is costly to complete a single piece.
B. It is well-received by international consumers.
C. It is demanding for cooperation between craftsmen.
D. It is a unique combination of artistic elements.
4. Which of the following words can best describe Yang Li
A. Creative and dedicated. B. Ambitious and cautious.
C. Passionate and humorous. D. Optimistic and considerate.
B
I recently had a parent say to me, “ChatGPT can produce a good essay (文章) on just about any topic in 3.4 seconds. You’re not still teaching kids essay writing the old way, are you ” Good question. As a high school teacher, I still ask my students to send me handwritten essays. Yes, it’s true: AI tools like ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) are great resources. But I still like the “old way”.
If the “new way” creates more time for students’ other activities and less stress for students, as an educator, I am interested in how I might encourage my students to use AI in acceptable ways that support their academic (学术的) goals. A good example of this is using Grammarly while writing an essay. But, if by “old way” that parent meant that I’m still asking students to write without ChatGPT, even with a pencil and piece of paper, my answer is also yes. Studies suggest that writing by hand promotes more complex (复杂的) brain connections that are important in understanding new information. In other words, the actual act of writing by hand can deepen the understanding of whatever students are learning in their classes.
Sometimes, AI tools can “cheat”, leading to misinformation that many students might ignore (忽视). It’s important and necessary that students don’t simply see these technologies as “cool tools that know everything” and instead — before they use them — are taught by the educators about their limitations.
As teachers get better at helping students learn how to use AI and students get better at using it, there will certainly be reasons for them to do so for the sake of efficiency (为了效率). However, remember the saying that “childhood goes so fast” It’s true. There will be plenty of time for young people — after they’ve learned to think for themselves — to adapt to AI’s role in their futures. While they’re young, let’s not rush them.
5. What is the author’s requirement for her students
A. Joining school activities.
B. Writing essays by hand.
C. Knowing different LLMs.
D. Learning a second language.
6. What can we learn about the author from the example given in paragraph 2
A. She supports the responsible use of AI
B. She values teacher-parent relationships.
C. She worries LLMs would replace teachers.
D. She promotes paperless teaching and learning.
7. What should educators make students realize according to the author
A. AI is not all-powerful.
B. Learning efficiency matters.
C. Progress does not happen overnight.
D. LLMs can be great learning resources.
8. Which statement will the author probably agree with
A. Student years have a strong impact on students’ future lives.
B. In education, whether old or new, what works is a good approach.
C. Educators should have confidence in the new generation of students.
D. Traditional teaching approaches still hold significance in the age of AI.

When you picture a zoo, what do you see A lone bear in a concrete cage, pacing aimlessly in front of tourists Or a group of volunteers, trying desperately to clean the body of the giant panda The role of zoos is unclear at first thought. On the one hand, funding from zoos comes from visitors and donors, so to attract the public, zoos must put on a good show. On the other hand, there is a growing cry to protect the animal kingdom from conservation-concerned individuals. That puts zoos in a dilemma.
London Zoo, which opened to members in 1828 as the first scientific zoo, opened its doors to the public 19 years later as it was not receiving sufficient funding. However, when the environmental movement was born in the late 20th Century, London Zoo began to change its focus. In the same year when the IUCN Red List was first published, London Zoo worked with Phoenix Zoo on a cooperative programme to boost Arabian oryx (大羚羊) numbers. London Zoo soon became the model on how to run a zoo that can satisfy both its visitors and its inhabitants.
Some zoos did not follow suit. The reputation of SeaWorld declined, following the documentary Blackfish, an exposure on SeaWorld’s poor treatment of their killer whales. It is clear from their website that sea creatures’ wellbeing and conservation are not SeaWorld’s priority. They are happy to advertise their sea lion shows and penguin petting experiences, but their conservation “mission” is tucked neatly into a dusty corner of the website. Knowing that places such as SeaWorld may not provide the best care for their animals, we continue to give them our money.
However, we should not stop visiting zoos. Zoos are essential to our education. Zoos are outdoors, soul-lifting, and in need of footfall to remain open and serving the animal kingdom. So research zoos before you visit them. Only pay for tickets to zoos that commit to conservation, aim to educate rather than entertain and have high animal welfare standards. Do not tolerate any less. Celebrate zoos which do it right.
9. What leads to the dilemma in paragraph 1
A. The protest from volunteers. B. The competition among zoos.
C. The pressure from funding and conservation. D. The conflict between visitors and zoo keepers.
10. Why is London Zoo mentioned
A. To give an example. B. To introduce an opinion.
C. To make a prediction. D. To recommend a destination.
11. What does the underlined word “tucked” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Written. B. Divided. C. Hidden. D. Combined.
12. What does the author suggest visitors do in the last paragraph
A. Celebrate the animal shows. B. Fund the poorly-managed zoos.
C. Recognize zoos devoted to protection. D. Increase their visits to different zoos.

I used to work in a preschool for one and a half years, teaching the class for 2-year-olds. There was a head teacher and two assistant teachers(including me)in our class.
Maybe 8 months into my work, we had a new student named Jack, who was nearly 3 years old but hardly knew any words. In fact when he arrived, the only words he would say were “hi” and “no”. Based on our working experience, we suspected his parents just never interacted with him at home.
Every morning, Jack’s mom would drop him off with a totally blank expression. The moment they arrived, Jack would start crying, holding onto the hand or leg of his mother, who would just struggle to get the boy off her, saying “Let me go, Jack.” and then walk away without a look back. When she picked him up in the afternoon, Jack would run up to show her something but she would simply stare blankly at him and say “Let’s go, Jack.” If the teachers reported anything to her, she’d say “I see.” “Mhmm.”, giving us the same absent look.
Jack’s dad rarely came and he was just as bad. He obviously had an anger problem. Anytime he heard something negative had happened, he would turn red, stare angrily at his son and just say “HUH. Well. We will deal with it.” in such a cold voice.
As a result, the boy, who longed desperately for attention and love, was always bad-tempered (坏脾气). He would run, kick, hit, and even sometimes bite other kids. And when he did it he would laugh and turn to us to look for a reaction. We criticized and punished him again and again, but it didn’t work at all. After his second week, the lead teacher decided to talk to his mom about it. His mom just shrugged (耸肩), it off, gave that blank look and said, “Oh yeah, Jack is a handful (难管的人). I just can’t help it. ”The teachers were all shocked.
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。
Having handled Jack for two months, we adjusted our approach.
