For nearly 30 years, the Arkansas Cancer Clinic provided life-saving treatment for those who couldn’t always
afford it. Patients in Pine Bluff, especially those with limited income, once had to travel more than 50 miles to
receive cancer care. Dr. Atiq made it his mission to bring treatment closer to home — and to make it available to
everyone. Even when patients couldn’t pay right away — or at all — they were never turned away. He focused
only on patient care, leaving the payment details to his office staff.
It wasn’t until Dr. Atiq and his wife started closing the clinic that they reviewed patient accounts more closely.
What they found deeply troubled them. Some patients were struggling to make even small payments — $5 or $10
at a time — on large balances that had grown over months or years. While many of his patients had some form of
insurance, the cost of cancer treatment often left them with high medical debt. Some were elderly, others were
working multiple jobs to stay afloat — even while going through chemotherapy (化疗).
“There has always been an element of concern in my mind about our fellow citizens, fellow human beings
having to worry about paying for services when they are sick,” Dr. Atiq said.
That realization led Dr. Atiq to a life-changing decision: He would cancel all remaining debts as a final gift to
his patients. Each patient received a personal holiday card from Dr. Atiq that delivered the news. The note thanked
them for trusting him with their care and let them know their unpaid bills had been cleared.
The doctor’s cancellation of patient debt wasn’t just a headline — it was a reality for dozens of families. The
debts ranged from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands. But it wasn’t about the amount for Dr. Atiq and his
family. It was about doing the right thing.
“We are fortunate that we didn’t need the money,” he explained. “So we decided to just cancel and give up the
debt — and we did.”
What did Dr. Atiq’s clinic bring to those patients
A. Financial aid. B. Employment. C. Convenience. D. Medical housing.
What does the underlined part “stay afloat” mean in paragraph 2
A. Pay in full. B. Make ends meet.
C. Keep working hard. D. Reject medical bills.
What made Dr. Atiq decide to cancel the debt
A. Awareness of his patients’ trouble. B. The financial state of the clinic.
C. The strong demand from the patients. D. His patients’ trust in him.
What does Dr. Atiq’s words show in the last paragraph
A. A penny saved is a penny earned. B. Money makes the world go round.
C. A grateful heart is a wealthy heart. D. Rightness carries its own reward.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D
C
More trees will cool the climate and control fires, but mainly if planted in hot, wet areas, according to a new
UC Riverside (UCR) study. The study, published in Climate and Atmospheric Science, found that tree planting is
generally a net positive for the climate because it helps pull warming carbon out of the atmosphere. However, local
effects on temperature not related to carbon varied significantly by region. At higher latitudes (纬度), trees could
have a slight heating effect, while the opposite is true in hot, wet areas.
“Our study found greater cooling effects from planting in warm, wet regions, where trees grow throughout the
year. Trees there not only pull carbon dioxide from the air, they also cool while releasing water vapor,” said study
first author and UCR graduate student James Gomez. “It’s not that planting elsewhere doesn’t help — it does —
but these warm areas offer the strongest returns per tree.”
These findings mirror the results of an earlier UCR study that shows planting trees could cool the surface of
the planet even more than previously expected. While that study factored in the chemical effects of trees interacting
with the atmosphere, this study places more emphasis on understanding the physical effects of tree planting.
These effects include “tree sweating”, or transpiration (蒸腾). Tree roots absorb water from the soil, which
then travels up through the trunk and into the leaves. When pores (气孔) in the leaves open up so the tree can take
in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis (光合作用), some of the water in the leaves evaporates into the air. This
process cools the air on Earth’s surface and cools the tree, too.
“It’s just like the way sweating cools your body,” Gomez said. “In warm, wet areas, there is constantly water
available for trees, and that increases transpiration.”
Trees can also reduce the amount of sunlight that reaches the planet’s surface. As they release water vapor, the
air can become more humid. More humidity can mean more clouds, and water vapor itself can absorb some sun.
Both of these effects reduce the amount of sun that reaches the ground, giving a cooling effect.
What does the study reveal about tree planting in different regions
A. Carbon absorption is weaker in high latitudes than hot areas.
B. Climate benefits overall, but temperature effects vary regionally.
C. It is only effective in hot, wet areas and has no benefits elsewhere.
D. It has identical cooling effects regardless of the latitude where trees are planted.
How does the transpiration process mainly work
A. By opening leaf pores to let water out.
B. By changing sunlight into food for the tree.
C. By adding water to the air without forming clouds.
D. By pulling water up from the soil through the trunk.
Hot, wet areas have the best cooling effect because of ______.
A more leaf pores and less water in the air
B. constant water supply and slower tree growth
C. greater carbon storage and less sun bouncing back
D. year-round water release and more clouds forming
Which is the best title for the text
A. Why All Tree Planting Helps the Climate
B. The Chemistry of Trees: Beyond Carbon Storage
C. Where to Plant Trees for Maximum Climate Benefits
D. Trees and Carbon: A New Look at Forest Climate Effects

D
To average people, it must seem as if the field of artificial intelligence (AI) is making great progress. Even a
high-level manager in a high-tech company went so far as to think that the attempt to create AI that has the
flexibility and resourcefulness of human intelligence — known as artificial general intelligence, or AGI, has
reached a point where the game is over. Don’t be fooled. Machines may someday be as smart as people and
perhaps even smarter, but the game is far from over. There is still a large amount of work to be done in making
machines that truly can comprehend and reason about the world around them. What we need right now is less
posturing and more basic research.
At present, AI is making progress — synthetic (合成的) images look more and more realistic, and speech
recognition can often work in noisy environments — but we are still likely decades away from general-purpose
and human-level AI that can understand the true meanings of articles and videos or deal with unexpected obstacles
and interruptions. The field is stuck on precisely the same challenges that academic scientists have been pointing
out for years: getting AI to be reliable and getting it to cope with unusual circumstances.
Unfortunately, the fact that these systems still fail to work reliably and struggle with novel circumstances is
usually buried in the fine print. One system, for instance, worked well on all the tasks the high-tech company
reported but rarely as well as other contemporary systems.
Although deep learning has advanced the ability of machines to recognize patterns in data, it has three major
faults. The patterns that it learns are superficial (表面的), not conceptual. The results it creates are hard to interpret
and difficult to use in the context of other processes, such as memory and reasoning. As Harvard University
computer scientist Leslie Valiant noted, “The central challenge going forward is to unify the formulation (规划) of
learning and reasoning.” Given these limitations, it’s time for AI researchers to concentrate on building systems
that can learn and reason, not just chase media attention.
How does the author develop paragraph 1
A. By providing statistics.
B. By making assumptions.
C. By supporting the average people’s views.
D. By contrasting the public idea with reality.
Which statement best fits the current AI
A. It is recognized widely.
B. It is facing reliability issues.
C. It can deal with unusual circumstances.
D. It can understand the true meaning of the text.
What is the author’s main purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To highlight AI’s strengths.
B. To redirect AI research focus.
C. To show AI’s memory processes.
D. To praise the work of AI researchers.
What is a suitable title for the text
A. Treat AI Reasonably
B. AI Should Be Suspected
C. AI Is Making Great Progress
D. Get AI to Recognize Patterns in Data

Grasping the Secret of Abstract Art
The key to appreciating this art is to approach it with an open mind. Unlike traditional art forms that often
describe recognizable objects or scenes, abstract art challenges realism. Instead, it invites us to explore emotions,
thoughts, and ideas through shapes, colors, and forms. Be willing to release preconceived (事先形成的) ideas.
___16___ . Rather than seeking a definitive meaning, focus on how the artwork makes you feel.
Move closer to notice the delicate details. ___17___ . Abstract art often reveals hidden layers of complexity
that emerge with patient observation. Allow yourself to reflect on the feelings and thoughts caused by the piece.
Understanding the visual elements employed in abstract art can deepen your appreciation. Colors, lines, shapes,
textures, and patterns all contribute to the artwork’s impact. Research the artist behind the abstract piece to gain
insights into their intentions and creative process. Artists often leave clues through titles, statements, or interviews.
___18___ .
Engaging with others can expand your understanding of abstract art. Attend gallery exhibitions, art classes, or
join online art communities. ___19___ . Hearing diverse interpretations can enrich your own experience and
introduce you to new ways of looking at art. Unlike representational art, abstract pieces allow for multiple
interpretations.
___20___ . Learning from professionals can deepen your knowledge and generate new enthusiasm for this
charming art form. If you find yourself struggling to connect with this art form, consider seeking guidance from art
experts or curators. They can offer valuable insights, historical context, and explanations that can enhance your
understanding and enjoyment.

Dear Chris,
I’m excited to share a new project of our school with you! We’re going to build a Campus Sound Museum,
which will collect special campus sounds and make audio albums to preserve precious school memories.
I think two sounds are worth recording: One is the sounds of loud reading in the morning, representing our
hard-working youth; the other is the cheers at sports meetings, showing our team spirit. However, we’re not sure
how to make the audio recordings more attractive. Knowing you’re into audio creation, I sincerely invite you to
share your ideas — such as how to edit the sounds or add introductions.
Looking forward to your creative ideas!
Yours,

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。
On the third floor of our school, there was a door most people ignored. Its faded blue paint and metal handle
looked ordinary, but a small handwritten sign beside it read “Please Be Cautious”. For me, a student desperate for
some place other than a classroom, it felt strangely like an invitation.
One October afternoon, I finally turned the handle. Behind the door, a narrow staircase led upward, and the air
smelt faintly of dust and rain. At the top of the staircase, there was another door leading to a room and a hidden
garden.
Someone had turned part of the room into a small greenhouse. Pots of different shapes stood along low walls.
A sheet of clear plastic roofing let sunlight pour in, warming the air. It was messy, but more alive than any
classroom downstairs.
Near the entrance sat a watering can and a notebook with muddy fingerprints on the cover. On the first page,
in uneven handwriting, someone had written, “Rooftop Garden — if you’re here, you’re responsible.” Seeing it, I
felt my chest, which had been tight all day, finally loosen a little.
I started visiting almost every afternoon. I watered the soil that had gone dry, picked off yellowing leaves, and
watched tiny green shoots push through the dirt. The more I cared for the plants, the quieter my thoughts became.
Then, on a cold morning in December, a new notice appeared on the blue door: “The passage will be closed.” I
froze in the hallway, staring blankly at the printed words. For everyone else, it was just another announcement. For
me, it felt as if the only open sky I had left at school was about to be locked away.
For a day or two, I tried to pretend it didn’t matter. I told myself it was just some plants, just a place. But deep
down I felt sad, because it was the one space in school that didn’t ask me to perform, only to care.

【答案】参考范文：
Unable to accept losing the rooftop garden, I finally decided to speak up. That evening, I made a simple
support sheet with photos of the garden and a short note about how it truly helped students relax. During the break,
I walked from desk to desk, my voice shaking at first but growing steadier as classmates, even those I barely talked
to, signed their names. By Friday, the page was crowded with signatures. When the bell rang, I carried it to the
school office and handed it to the administrators.
A week later, when the rooftop garden finally reopened, I pushed the door open. Students were already there,
kneeling by the beds, with soil on their hands and laughter slipping out in soft waves. A new sign read “Rooftop
Garden — Student Space”, and next to it hung our support sheet, now neatly pinned to a board. Only then did I
realize it was not just my hiding spot anymore. Had I stayed silent, the garden would have been gone; instead, it
became a space where all of us could lay our worries down for a while.陕西省商洛市 2025-2026 学年第一学期期末考试

For nearly 30 years, the Arkansas Cancer Clinic provided life-saving treatment for those who couldn’t always
afford it. Patients in Pine Bluff, especially those with limited income, once had to travel more than 50 miles to
receive cancer care. Dr. Atiq made it his mission to bring treatment closer to home — and to make it available to
everyone. Even when patients couldn’t pay right away — or at all — they were never turned away. He focused
only on patient care, leaving the payment details to his office staff.
It wasn’t until Dr. Atiq and his wife started closing the clinic that they reviewed patient accounts more closely.
What they found deeply troubled them. Some patients were struggling to make even small payments — $5 or $10
at a time — on large balances that had grown over months or years. While many of his patients had some form of
insurance, the cost of cancer treatment often left them with high medical debt. Some were elderly, others were
working multiple jobs to stay afloat — even while going through chemotherapy (化疗).
“There has always been an element of concern in my mind about our fellow citizens, fellow human beings
having to worry about paying for services when they are sick,” Dr. Atiq said.
That realization led Dr. Atiq to a life-changing decision: He would cancel all remaining debts as a final gift to
his patients. Each patient received a personal holiday card from Dr. Atiq that delivered the news. The note thanked
them for trusting him with their care and let them know their unpaid bills had been cleared.
The doctor’s cancellation of patient debt wasn’t just a headline — it was a reality for dozens of families. The
debts ranged from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands. But it wasn’t about the amount for Dr. Atiq and his
family. It was about doing the right thing.
“We are fortunate that we didn’t need the money,” he explained. “So we decided to just cancel and give up the
debt — and we did.”
What did Dr. Atiq’s clinic bring to those patients
A. Financial aid. B. Employment. C. Convenience. D. Medical housing.
What does the underlined part “stay afloat” mean in paragraph 2
A. Pay in full. B. Make ends meet.
C. Keep working hard. D. Reject medical bills.
What made Dr. Atiq decide to cancel the debt
A. Awareness of his patients’ trouble. B. The financial state of the clinic.
C. The strong demand from the patients. D. His patients’ trust in him.
What does Dr. Atiq’s words show in the last paragraph
A. A penny saved is a penny earned. B. Money makes the world go round.
C. A grateful heart is a wealthy heart. D. Rightness carries its own reward.
C
More trees will cool the climate and control fires, but mainly if planted in hot, wet areas, according to a new
UC Riverside (UCR) study. The study, published in Climate and Atmospheric Science, found that tree planting is
generally a net positive for the climate because it helps pull warming carbon out of the atmosphere. However, local
effects on temperature not related to carbon varied significantly by region. At higher latitudes (纬度), trees could
have a slight heating effect, while the opposite is true in hot, wet areas.
“Our study found greater cooling effects from planting in warm, wet regions, where trees grow throughout the
year. Trees there not only pull carbon dioxide from the air, they also cool while releasing water vapor,” said study
first author and UCR graduate student James Gomez. “It’s not that planting elsewhere doesn’t help — it does —
but these warm areas offer the strongest returns per tree.”
These findings mirror the results of an earlier UCR study that shows planting trees could cool the surface of
the planet even more than previously expected. While that study factored in the chemical effects of trees interacting
with the atmosphere, this study places more emphasis on understanding the physical effects of tree planting.
These effects include “tree sweating”, or transpiration (蒸腾). Tree roots absorb water from the soil, which
then travels up through the trunk and into the leaves. When pores (气孔) in the leaves open up so the tree can take
in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis (光合作用), some of the water in the leaves evaporates into the air. This
process cools the air on Earth’s surface and cools the tree, too.
“It’s just like the way sweating cools your body,” Gomez said. “In warm, wet areas, there is constantly water
available for trees, and that increases transpiration.”
Trees can also reduce the amount of sunlight that reaches the planet’s surface. As they release water vapor, the
air can become more humid. More humidity can mean more clouds, and water vapor itself can absorb some sun.
Both of these effects reduce the amount of sun that reaches the ground, giving a cooling effect.
What does the study reveal about tree planting in different regions
A. Carbon absorption is weaker in high latitudes than hot areas.
B. Climate benefits overall, but temperature effects vary regionally.
C. It is only effective in hot, wet areas and has no benefits elsewhere.
D. It has identical cooling effects regardless of the latitude where trees are planted.
How does the transpiration process mainly work
A. By opening leaf pores to let water out.
B. By changing sunlight into food for the tree.
C. By adding water to the air without forming clouds.
D. By pulling water up from the soil through the trunk.
Hot, wet areas have the best cooling effect because of ______.
A more leaf pores and less water in the air
B. constant water supply and slower tree growth
C. greater carbon storage and less sun bouncing back
D. year-round water release and more clouds forming
Which is the best title for the text
A. Why All Tree Planting Helps the Climate
B. The Chemistry of Trees: Beyond Carbon Storage
C. Where to Plant Trees for Maximum Climate Benefits
D. Trees and Carbon: A New Look at Forest Climate Effects
D
To average people, it must seem as if the field of artificial intelligence (AI) is making great progress. Even a
high-level manager in a high-tech company went so far as to think that the attempt to create AI that has the
flexibility and resourcefulness of human intelligence — known as artificial general intelligence, or AGI, has
reached a point where the game is over. Don’t be fooled. Machines may someday be as smart as people and
perhaps even smarter, but the game is far from over. There is still a large amount of work to be done in making
machines that truly can comprehend and reason about the world around them. What we need right now is less
posturing and more basic research.
At present, AI is making progress — synthetic (合成的) images look more and more realistic, and speech
recognition can often work in noisy environments — but we are still likely decades away from general-purpose
and human-level AI that can understand the true meanings of articles and videos or deal with unexpected obstacles
and interruptions. The field is stuck on precisely the same challenges that academic scientists have been pointing
out for years: getting AI to be reliable and getting it to cope with unusual circumstances.
Unfortunately, the fact that these systems still fail to work reliably and struggle with novel circumstances is
usually buried in the fine print. One system, for instance, worked well on all the tasks the high-tech company
reported but rarely as well as other contemporary systems.
Although deep learning has advanced the ability of machines to recognize patterns in data, it has three major
faults. The patterns that it learns are superficial (表面的), not conceptual. The results it creates are hard to interpret
and difficult to use in the context of other processes, such as memory and reasoning. As Harvard University
computer scientist Leslie Valiant noted, “The central challenge going forward is to unify the formulation (规划) of
learning and reasoning.” Given these limitations, it’s time for AI researchers to concentrate on building systems
that can learn and reason, not just chase media attention.
How does the author develop paragraph 1
A. By providing statistics.
B. By making assumptions.
C. By supporting the average people’s views.
D. By contrasting the public idea with reality.
Which statement best fits the current AI
A. It is recognized widely.
B. It is facing reliability issues.
C. It can deal with unusual circumstances.
D. It can understand the true meaning of the text.
What is the author’s main purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To highlight AI’s strengths.
B. To redirect AI research focus.
C. To show AI’s memory processes.
D. To praise the work of AI researchers.
What is a suitable title for the text
A. Treat AI Reasonably
B. AI Should Be Suspected
C. AI Is Making Great Progress
D. Get AI to Recognize Patterns in Data

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。
On the third floor of our school, there was a door most people ignored. Its faded blue paint and metal handle
looked ordinary, but a small handwritten sign beside it read “Please Be Cautious”. For me, a student desperate for
some place other than a classroom, it felt strangely like an invitation.
One October afternoon, I finally turned the handle. Behind the door, a narrow staircase led upward, and the air
smelt faintly of dust and rain. At the top of the staircase, there was another door leading to a room and a hidden
garden.
Someone had turned part of the room into a small greenhouse. Pots of different shapes stood along low walls.
A sheet of clear plastic roofing let sunlight pour in, warming the air. It was messy, but more alive than any
classroom downstairs.
Near the entrance sat a watering can and a notebook with muddy fingerprints on the cover. On the first page,
in uneven handwriting, someone had written, “Rooftop Garden — if you’re here, you’re responsible.” Seeing it, I
felt my chest, which had been tight all day, finally loosen a little.
I started visiting almost every afternoon. I watered the soil that had gone dry, picked off yellowing leaves, and
watched tiny green shoots push through the dirt. The more I cared for the plants, the quieter my thoughts became.
Then, on a cold morning in December, a new notice appeared on the blue door: “The passage will be closed.” I
froze in the hallway, staring blankly at the printed words. For everyone else, it was just another announcement. For
me, it felt as if the only open sky I had left at school was about to be locked away.
For a day or two, I tried to pretend it didn’t matter. I told myself it was just some plants, just a place. But deep
down I felt sad, because it was the one space in school that didn’t ask me to perform, only to care.
