When Ma Jun was born, his parents noticed something unusual. His limbs were weak, and he couldn’t move or stand without help. While his peers ran and played, Ma could only sit in a wheelchair, watching in frustration. For years, his parents carried Ma on their backs to school, braving wind and rain.
In 2016, Ma passed his college entrance exams, but he faced a dilemma. With limited resources, his family couldn’t manage both sons’ education. Then Ma made a decision to stay home, sacrificing (牺牲) his own learning opportunity for his brother. This decision, though rooted in love, threw Ma into hopelessness. Longing to attend university and prove himself despite his condition, Ma instead found himself stuck in bed, feeling desperate.
The turning point came when a friend gave him a book, Shi Tiesheng’s best-seller I and the Temple of Earth. Shi, a famous writer who also uses a wheelchair, had transformed his struggles into profound literature. As he read, Ma felt a spark of hope lighting up his world. Shi’s vivid observations and unshaken hope inspired Ma deeply. He was struck by the realization that someone with similar struggles could find meaning and joy in life. Later, he started on a three-year journey of writing the book The Green and White Stone Steps by recording his own life, pouring his heart and soul into the words.
In June 2023, Ma received unexpected good news that his book was one of 10 selected for publication through the project “Stars of Literature by Chinese Ethnic Writers”. This achievement marked a significant milestone in his literary journey. Then, the Junma Awards for Ethnic Literature announced this year’s awards, and Ma became the youngest winner of this year’s Junma Awards for Ethnic Literature in the prose category.
Having fought against the illness for many years, Ma never defines himself as a man to be pitied. “I don’t think my experiences are tragic. Everyone in this world suffers from something. For me, it’s physical; for some others, it’s emotional. We’re all fighting our own battles,” he says. Writing is not just a profession for Ma — it’s a lifeline, a way to connect with the world and leave behind a legacy of courage, sincerity and hope.
24．Why did Ma give up attending university
A．His parents didn’t want to support his education.
B．His brother showed a stronger desire to study.
C．His family was facing financial difficulties.
D．His physical condition prevented him from continuing his education.
25．What do we know about Ma’s book The Green and White Stone Steps
A．It was inspired by his friend. B．It was finished in 7 years.
C．It was based on Shi’s personal story. D．It got recognition in the literary world.
26．Which of the following can best describe Ma Jun
A．Talented and optimistic. B．Selfless and honest.
C．Farsighted and patient. D．Brave and confident.
27．What message does the text convey
A．Failure is the mother of success. B．Chance favors the prepared mind.
C．Misfortune doesn’t define who you are. D．He who laughs last laughs longest.
“Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere.” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned to me showing what I’ve described.
Welcome to the world of AI image generation (生成), where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts. But closer examination shows strangeness. The face of the woman in my image has very strange features, and appears to be holding various books. And, while I did feel excited at seeing an image appear, I didn’t have any creative satisfaction.
AI image generation could impact everything from film to graphic novels and more. Children’s illustrators were quick to raise concerns about the technology. They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Basically, art is translating what you feel inside into something that exists outside. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process.
Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that purposely copy the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work. However, a human artist is adding emotion and details into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same — it can only copy.
The increasing use of AI will also lead to devaluation of the work of artists. People may think that their AI-generated “work” is as acceptable as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s wrong, of course. The skills, effort, and vision of human artists shouldn’t be ignored. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughters, but it cannot compare with the work of professional photographers.
28．The author mentioned Deep Dream Generator to ______.
A．introduce the topic of AI image generation B．share the author’s personal experience
C．promote the latest AI image generator D．describe the author’s dream device
29．What can we learn from the passage
A．AI image generation lacks the true creative process of human art.
B．AI image generators are unable to fulfill the complex prompts.
C．Children’s illustrators are eager to adopt AI image generation.
D．Human emotional input can be added in AI image generation.
30．What does the word “devaluation” underlined in the last paragraph probably mean
A．Improvement in quality. B．Decrease in worth.
C．Drop in creativity. D．Change in style.
31．What is the author’s attitude towards AI image generation
A．Satisfied. B．Worried. C．Optimistic. D．Puzzled.
Zootopia 2, Disney’s long-awaited sequel (续集), has set a new standard in China’s film industry, breaking the single-day box office record for an imported animated film. The film attracted audiences when it came out on November 26, 2025, earning 213 million yuan by 8 p.m. and reaching 228 million yuan by the end of its opening day.
The record-breaking performance was not unexpected for industry observers.

Disney’s complete marketing activity, including strategic partnerships and special events across China, further raised awareness. Most importantly, the movie’s positive message about unity and courage deeply touched viewers.
Beyond commercial success, Zootopia 2’s achievement shows the strong connection Chinese audiences have formed with these characters and their world. The film proves how well-made animation with universal themes of friendship and harmony can achieve both critical praise and commercial success while crossing cultural boundaries.

C．Zootopia 2: Box Office Success and Its Driving Factors in China
D．The Cultural Influence of Animated Films on Chinese Audiences
A new study has discovered that men may sleep better than women. Researchers say that because of this, sleep disorders experienced by the two genders need to be treated differently. Insomnia (失眠) is about 1.5 times more common among women than men. 36
The researchers say that one reason for this is our body clocks — our natural 24-hour cycles. 37 This small difference in the body’s daily cycle directly reduces their possible resting time, which means women physically have less time to rest. Another reason is motherhood, which brings unequal stress and burdens on mothers. Doctor Alaina Tiani said: “It’s almost like their brain was half-listening for their children in the middle of the night, in case they needed something.” 38
People worldwide are finding it harder and harder to get a good night’s rest. The stress and pressures of daily life mean more of us are struggling to get enough sleep. 39 It is a problem that troubles people of all ages, with women being more easily harmed by its effects. It is estimated that around 30% of people around the world are suffering from lack of sleep. That is having bad effects on our health.
40 . A lack of sleep can lead to harmful and often life-threatening health conditions. These include diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Besides these physical risks, the influence of not getting enough sleep reaches our daily thinking abilities. Not getting enough sleep can also negatively affect our ability to focus, and lead to a worsening in mental health.
A．Why is this the case
B．What are the results of not getting enough sleep
C．How can people improve their sleep quality effectively
D．Women’s body clocks are about six minutes shorter than men’s.
E．This kind of watchfulness of mothers often breaks their deep sleep.
F．More and more people are reporting problems with getting decent sleep.
G．Long-term sleep loss can also make the immune system weaker and reduce work efficiency.

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。
As I was cleaning the cat box, I saw the small green pieces of twenty-dollar bills scattered like confetti (彩纸屑) throughout the box. The box belongs to Prince. He is a proud cat, hence the name.
We adopted Prince three years ago. From the moment he joined our family, Prince made it clear that his favorite person was Lisa, our daughter. They became inseparable. Besides sleeping with her, Prince sat on her lap when she was eating, watching TV, or doing her homework. He even insisted on riding in the car when she was being dropped off at school.
But things changed. As Lisa’s high school graduation approached, congratulatory cards from friends and family poured in for Lisa, most of which contained money, primarily in twenty-dollar bills. Since Prince has a bad habit of eating things not intended for that purpose, such as hair ties and toilet paper, he ate the twenty-dollar bills that Lisa left in a basket on the floor of her room — about $200 worth.
Prince didn’t recognize the severity of what he’d done and fully expected life to go on as usual. Lisa didn’t share this view. She was very angry about what Prince did, unable to see her part in the loss. From that decisive moment on, Prince was banned from Lisa’s room, her lap, and the car rides to school. Prince didn’t understand the sudden change and complained about it in the only way he could — mournful meows (悲痛的猫叫声).
Two days later, something strange happened. In the morning, I saw Prince go out and thought nothing of it. Prince often spent the mornings lying on the grassland and taking in the sun. But, around noon, I became concerned when he hadn’t come back inside. I searched everywhere. Nothing. And then my phone rang.
It was Lila’s teacher, Mr. Hale. He told me Lisa was fine, but they were dealing with a situation they had never quite encountered before. I arrived at the teacher’s office in minutes. I was shocked, amazed and relieved by what I saw.

W: As the car industry develops, traffic accidents have become as familiar as the common cold. Yet their causes and control remain a serious problem that is difficult to solve. Experts have long recognized that this discouraging problem has many causes. At the very least, it is a problem that involves three factors: the driver, the vehicle and the roadway. If all of the drivers exercised good judgment at all times, there would be few accidents. Improved design has helped to make highways much safer. But the number of accidents continues to rise because of human failure and an enormous increase in the number of automobiles on the road. Attention is now turning increasingly to the third cause of the accidents: the car itself. People want to know how cars can be built better to protect the drivers. So there are also some new driverless cars on the road. Are they really safe

Labor for Beauty, Gain for Growth
Last week, our school held a labor activity themed “Happy Labor·Beautify Our Campus”. All students took part and were divided into groups to do different tasks.
My group cleaned the classroom, swept the playground and watered the plants in the school garden. We helped each other and finished the work happily. Through this activity, I felt tired but happy. I learned that labor can make our school more beautiful and that teamwork is important. It also let me know how hard cleaners work, so I’ll cherish the clean environment more.
I really hope there will be more such meaningful activities.

There was Lisa, sitting on a couch, with Prince on her lap. He looked perfectly at peace. Lisa was excited and touched that Prince came looking for her. Clearly, Prince had somehow made his way to the school. Our guesses were that Prince must have known where Lisa was from all the times he rode along when Lisa was dropped off at school. The principal told me that Prince walked into the school cafeteria like he owned the place, jumped onto a table, and calmly went from one table to the next until he found Lisa.
Lisa said she forgave Prince the moment she spotted him at the cafeteria. She even felt guilty about ignoring him for days. Lisa had done the only thing he could think of — find her himself. When we returned home, Prince was restored to his rightful place, Lisa’s room. And, to Lisa’s great surprise, our family and friends were so moved by the story of Prince that they contributed again to Lisa’s graduation. This time, however, it was different. No cash. No, no, no. Only hard plastic, Prince-proof gift cards.
