In 2024, my niece Caroline received a Ph. D．in gravitational-wave physics. I watched a little of her dissertation defense(博士论文答辩) online, and was lost as soon as she finished introducing herself.
Caroline’s academic achievements seem especially impressive if you know she could barely read until third grade. For her, words on a page looked like a jumping mass. A psychologist eventually identified her condition as dyslexia (读写障碍).
Fluent readers sometimes think of dyslexia as a tendency to put letters in the wrong order, but it’s more complicated than that. People with dyslexia have varying degrees of difficulty not only with reading and writing but also with pronouncing new words, recalling known words, recognizing rhymes, dividing words into syllables (音节), and comprehending written material.
Because a common strategy for avoiding the embarrassment of reading aloud is to act in a way that results in being sent to the principal’s office, dyslexic students are often treated primarily as discipline problems. The tragedy is compounded by the fact that proven methods for teaching dyslexic students — which enabled Caroline to become a fluent reader by middle school — have been known for decades, but many American schools don’t use those scientifically supported instructional methods.
Caroline’s dyslexia was identified in second grade, and afterward she spent three years at Windward, a private school for children with language-based learning disabilities. Windward’s teachers follow highly structured lesson plans. In the program, students memorize rules about letter sounds, letter combinations, and grammar. They also receive instruction in essay organization and composition.
When Caroline finished fifth grade and left Windward, her reading level was better than 95 percent of other students, and she later qualified for her new school’s gifted program. Windward had made her not only a fluent reader but also a skilled writer. Toward the end of her third year there, she wrote a poem that ended, “So come and read, so come and read, Come don those literary Wings!”
24．What can be inferred about Caroline’s dissertation defense
A．It lacked basic logic. B．It attracted a large audience.
C．It made the author disappointed. D．It showed her academic advance.
25．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning dyslexia
A．Its potential tendency. B．Its complex symptoms.
C．Its relevant assumptions. D．Its theoretical foundation.
26．What does the underlined word “compounded” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Worsened. B．Simplified. C．Explained. D．Recorded.
27．What is a feature of Windward
A．It specializes in teaching poetry. B．It replaces conventional schools.
C．It provides prizes for gifted students. D．It adopts a structured teaching program.
Penguins are some of the world’s most familiar and beloved birds, but southern rockhoppers are the tough guys of the penguin world. Their fondness for colonies (聚居地) high over thousands of feet separates them from the other penguin species that prefer soft, level ground in the Falklands.
One evening, I struggle to keep up with some scientists as they march through thick grass in the Falklands. They are looking for rockhoppers that have pencil-case-size black boxes taped to their backs and collecting those boxes, which contain GPS data loggers (记录仪). Some also track diving and heart-rate information. Later, in the scientists’ field station, we gather around a computer screen, analyzing the collected data, which will give us a critical read on ocean conditions, revealed by the birds’ responses.
With a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, the species can withstand the occasional disaster and rebuild their population over time. But as colonies damaged by human activities struggle to recover, a string of disasters has knocked them down. Despite their bravery, rockhoppers are highly sensitive. Research by these scientists shows that even a small increase in sea temperature can affect the birds’ food supply and lower chick and adult survival. Besides, changing weather is causing unseasonably intense storms, killing chicks who haven’t yet grown their thick, waterproof feathers.
However, moving to cooler water isn’t an option. The constant winds there would push the little penguins into the icy coasts of Antarctica, and there’s no land where they could build new colonies. These scientists are trying to re-establish the native grass. “It may be impossible to stop the changes sweeping their ocean habitats,” Quillfeldt, a seabird ecologist says. “But to help them on land, at the breeding (繁殖) sites, is something we can actually do.”
Thinking of the young rockhopper leaping over a fearful gap, I ask the scientists: Can rockhoppers’ courage be an advantage for their survival Quillfeldt feels it may. Curiosity and bravery can encourage seabirds to find ways to adapt. Don’t forget they’ve got attitude.
28．What is the function of the black boxes on the rockhoppers’ backs
A．To locate GPS data loggers. B．To distinguish birds’ responses.
C．To analyze the survival rate. D．To record data about ocean conditions.
29．What may bring a challenge to rockhoppers’ population
A．Their lengthy lifespan. B．Their fondness for high rocks.
C．Their thick waterproof feathers. D．Their sensitivity to the climate change.
30．What could be a practical way to help rockhoppers according to paragraph 4
A．Establish new colonies. B．Improve the breeding sites.
C．Stop the environmental changes. D．Move to the coasts of Antarctica.
31．What is the author’s attitude toward rockhoppers’ future
A．Hopeful. B．Reserved. C．Dismissive. D．Doubtful.
John Hester, a retired software developer, who lives in Southern California, asked Grok 3, a large language model, to write him code (代码) for a game that he could play on his computer last February. Some two hours later, he had “a playable, functional game.” “It’s so amazing,” he says.
Rather than being programmed to search through a set of options, generative AI models learn from a huge number of examples. Some video games now use generative AI. You can try a demo (演示版游戏) called Oasis, like an AI-generated version of Minecraft. In the real game Minecraft, a map and rules govern everything around you. Not here. Oasis, which was released in 2024, is based on a new type of generative AI called a world model. Whatever is on the screen now feeds into the AI world model. It predicts what you will see next based on what you’re seeing now and builds virtual environments you can move through on the spot. Millions of hours of Minecraft gameplay videos went into training the world model behind Oasis.
Cook, a researcher and game designer, sees some drawbacks to using generative AI to create all or parts of video games. With generative AI, typically only big companies get to make decisions about how the models work. Besides, using generative AI or world models to make lots of automated game content “might lead to more boring stuff being made,” cautions Cook. A person’s creative work reflects their experience of living in the world. And today’s generative AI can only copy what people have already created.
Tessa Kaur, editor at The Gamer magazine, writes that AI-generated dialogue doesn’t produce fascinating characters. AI “simply cannot be creative enough,” she writes. When you care about game characters, it’s “because someone took the time to craft that dialogue for you, with many rewrites and deep thought.”
32．Why was John Hester impressed
A．Grok 3 taught him game coding. B．He developed a new piece of software.
C．Grok 3 coded a game for him quickly. D．He updated his computer successfully.
33．What can Oasis provide for game players
A．Pre-programmed game scenes. B．AI-generated virtual environments.
C．Personalized game maps and rules. D．Numerous world model training data.
34．What do Cook and Tessa both agree with
A．AI crafts fascinating dialogue. B．Boring characters need AI polish.
C．Humans create vivid game content. D．Big firms control AI game design.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．AI, Create Awesome Video Games B．AI, Train World Game Models
C．Grok 3, Generate Vivid Game Roles D．Grok 3, Beat the Original Game
Last night, I heard a story that left me thinking: a friend was driving home late on a rainy day when a cat suddenly dashed out from the shadows. Before he could put on the brakes, he hit the cat. As he stood by the side of the road, shaken, his first thought was: “It was just an accident — I didn’t mean it.” 36 The question has stuck with me like a fish bone in the throat.
Neuroscience offers a clue: our brains are wired to protect our sense of being a “good person.” 37 A similar phrase is “I had no choice”, which also allows us to avoid facing the complexity of our decisions.
38 In the days that followed, he couldn’t shake the guilt. He replayed the drive endlessly in his mind, and gradually, a different truth emerged: he had been tired, he’d taken a shortcut that he knew was poorly lit, and he had been checking a text message just moments before. 39 In the end, he posted about the incident online, no longer calling it an “accident”, and even made a donation to a local animal rescue.
His story reveals a crucial truth: accidents are often the result of a series of choices we make rather than pure randomness. In our daily life, we use “it is an accident” constantly. 40 More often than not, we cannot blame the rain, the cat’s sudden dash, or any other external factor — there are no real excuses. Instead, we must separate choices from accidents. True responsibility lies in acknowledging our choices.
A．These set the stage for the tragedy.
B．How can we lighten our moral load
C．We truly bear no responsibility for the outcome.
D．But the label “accident” offered him no real comfort.
E．Life may happen to us, but it doesn’t fully excuse us.
F．Why do we reach for the word “accident” so quickly
G．Calling something an “accident” often serves this purpose.

A Priceless Collection
It was a hot and stuffy summer afternoon. I was searching for old textbooks in the study when I accidentally knocked a wooden box off the top shelf. As the lid popped open, a pile of yellowed letters, a cracked coarse porcelain bowl (粗瓷碗), and an unremarkable old fountain pen fell out. I picked up the pen and glanced at it: its body had faded, most of the paint on the cap had peeled off, and the nib(笔尖) was slightly bent. I threw it back into the box impatiently, complaining, “Why does Grandpa always collect these useless things They take up space and aren’t worth anything.”
“This is no ordinary thing,” Grandpa said, appearing behind me unexpectedly, with a touch of seriousness in his voice. “It was passed down to me by your great-grandfather.” I glared at the box, and crossed my arms. “It’s old and cheap. What’s the point of collecting it ”
Grandpa wasn’t angry. He just picked up the box gently and slowly told me the past. When great-grandfather was young, he was the only teacher in the village. This pen was his most precious possession, bought with his first month’s salary. On cold winter nights, he held this pen to correct homework and prepare lessons under the lamp, his neat and strong handwriting lighting the way for countless children’s studies. Later, great-grandfather passed the pen to Grandpa, telling him, “Though small, this pen holds the warmth of life and records the perseverance of the moment. Pass it on.”
I listened quietly, my impatience fading away.
Grandpa then pointed to the letters in the box—they were the ones he’d written to Grandma when he was young, with neat handwriting and full of care in every line. The broken bowl was the only bowl his family had when he was a child. Even though it was broken, Grandma still kept it carefully, saying they should remember those hard days when they stuck together.

6．A 7．C
【原文】M: Hey, have you watched the movie Avatar: Fire and Ash yet I just saw it, and it’s absolutely mind-blowing.
W: No, I am not sure if it’s as good as the previous ones.
M: It’s even better! The visual effects are next level. The story about the family’s struggle is also really touching. The most amazing part is that the movie runs 3 hours and 15 minutes.
W: Oh, that sounds great. Is the plot easy to follow

W: Well, I’ll watch it this weekend.

W: Right, good point. Then maybe I’ll get some fruit juice to drink instead.
M: Most store-bought juices have barely any real fruit and are full of sugar. Water is a safer bet.
W: Okay. For dessert, I was thinking fat-free yogurt.
M: Wait, fat-free yogurt often has extra sugar added to make up for the lost flavor. Too much sugar isn’t any better for you than fat.
W: Wow. So I’ll just do a plain salad, water, and skip dessert. What about you
M: I was gonna order a double burger, but fine. I’ll copy your healthy order. Let’s go for the same.

M: Oh, that’s a really solid topic. I have mentioned both the pros and cons, but I’m not sure how to structure the risk part. Well, there’s self-thinking loss and social-emotional growth issues... so many points to cover.
W: Maybe you can list the risks one by one with specific examples, like how over-reliance on chatbots makes kids stop distinguishing truth from lies.
M: That’s such great advice. Thanks a lot, Kevin.
W: I’m glad I could help.
17．C 18．A 19．B 20．C
【原文】
W: Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome back to our school radio program. Today, let’s talk about a heartwarming trend: a new facility popping up in malls across China. The rise of “father and baby rooms.” Unlike traditional mother and baby rooms, these spaces focus on basic care, feeding, and rest. They are designed to encourage fathers to be more involved in taking care of the baby. This small change reflects a big shift in Chinese family values. Fathers are no longer just breadwinners; they are becoming full partners in raising children. One expert said this evolution shows that our society is moving toward a more balanced model of shared parenting. So next time you visit a mall, keep an eye out for these rooms. They’re not just a place to rest; they’re a sign that parenting is becoming a team effort, one that benefits both children and families.

66．Possible version:
Asking for Psychological Help: Weakness or Growth
Facing moments of stress or anxiety, many students shy away from seeking help, fearing it may label them as weak. However, I firmly believe that asking for psychological help is a remarkable sign of growth.
Firstly, it reflects our self-awareness that we can identify our emotional states, which is a crucial step towards personal development. Secondly, by reaching out for help, we show our determination to overcome difficulties and improve ourselves. Lastly, seeking psychological assistance equips us with coping strategies, enabling us to better handle challenges.
In conclusion, don’t let the fear of being seen as weak hold you back. Let’s embrace this opportunity for a healthier and more mature self.
67．Possible version:
As I listened to Grandpa’s words, my cheeks burned with shame. I hung my head, recalling how I had thrown the old pen back in the box and called it useless. I reached out to pick up the pen again, holding it gently as if it were a rare treasure. Running my fingers over the faded body and rough cap, I seemed to see great-grandfather’s hands holding the pen in the cold, and his figure bending over the desk under the lamp. I whispered an apology to Grandpa, realizing that true value lies not in how expensive something is, but in the memories and spirit it holds. From that day on, I began my own collection journey, no longer chasing expensive things but cherishing the warmth and affection around me.
Months later, I showed my priceless collection box to Grandpa. Inside were my mom’s hair from when she brushed it for me, a note from my friend encouraging me after a failed exam, and a leaf I picked on the day Grandpa told me his story. I told him every story behind these small things, my voice filled with warmth. Grandpa smiled softly, touching each item carefully. He patted me on the shoulder and said, “You’ve truly understood what collection means—it’s about cherishing the warmth around you and passing down love.” Tears welled up in my eyes, as I knew I had grown into a person who could see the beauty in ordinary moments.
