In Guangzhou, Zhang Weijing has noticed something remarkable. “At the end of last year, the number of foreign tourists in Guangzhou was much higher than in midyear. You can hear different languages everywhere now,” she said.
A post — 1995 girl who grew up in the city, Zhang has been working as a foreign — anguage guide for two years. Fluent in English, Cantonese, and Italian, she sees herself as both a storyteller and a cultural ambassador (大使).
To help visitors connect with the city’s character, Zhang designs tours that highlight Lingnan traditions — from the tanglongmen, a three — layered half — gate that balances ventilation (通风) and privacy, to the fruit trees locals plant in their courtyards. “When I explain these designs, many foreigners find them ingenious and praise Chinese people’s wisdom,” she said.
Like Zhang, Zhou Qi, another girl views her work as a form of cultural exchange. Having traveled to 38 countries, she describes guiding as a way to help foreign visitors understand China better. “At first, I just loved traveling,” she said. “But then I realized guiding is also a way to share China’s true charm with the world. Through conversations, I help them see a real and dynamic China.”
She has led collectors to hidden record shops in Beijing, anime fans to subculture stores, and families on rickshaw rides through hutong, where elderly residents welcomed them with traditional music. “At the end of the tour, many told me they were deeply impressed by my country’s vitality and hospitality. That’s the most rewarding part,” Zhou said.
That same sense of purpose drives Dinna in Shanghai. On a summer afternoon, she led a group of foreign visitors along the Bund, one of the city’s most famous landmarks. As they posed against Pudong’s skyline, she held up a black — and — white photo of the area in the 1990s, when it was still farmland. For her guests, the skyline symbolizes China’s transformation.
Undoubtedly, the young tour guides are redefining how foreign visitors experience China’s cities.
24. What can be known about Zhang Weijing
A. She is a world — famous architect. B. She has traveled to 38 countries.
C. She is good at several languages. D. She has published her storybooks.
25. The underlined word “ingenious” in paragraph 3 most probably means .
A. creative B. ordinary C. luxurious D. outdated
26. What makes Zhou Qi feel that her efforts are worthwhile
A. Her guests’ vitality and hospitality. B. Beijing’s remarkable transformation.
C. Her growing passion for traveling abroad. D. Foreign visitors’ admiration for her country.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. Bridging Cultural Gaps Through Stories B. Foreign Tourists: Explorers of Traditions
C. Big Cities: Popular Tourist Destinations D. Guiding Across Languages and Cultures
C
An international team of researchers from the University of Sydney and the Universidad Europea in Spain discovered that sustained walking sessions offer stronger protection for heart health than fragmented (碎片化的) activity.
“There is a perception that health professionals have recommended walking 10,000 steps a day should be the goal, but this isn’t a must — that is also hard to achieve for most people nowadays. Simply adding one or two longer walks per day, each lasting at least 10 — 15 minutes at a comfortable but steady pace, can have significant benefits — especially for people who don’t walk much,” explained co — lead author Dr. Matthew Ahmadi.
The study involved 33,560 adults between the ages of 40 and 79 who typically walked fewer than 8,000 steps a day and had no history of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease or cancer. Participants wore research — grade wristbands for one week to record both their step counts and how their steps were distributed throughout the day. Researchers followed their health outcomes for about eight years and found striking differences in cardiovascular risk between those who walked in short versus longer sessions.
People who walked continuously for 10 — 15 minutes daily had only a 4 percent chance of experiencing cardiovascular events, compared to a 13 percent risk among those who walked continuously for just 5 minutes a day. The benefits were greatest for the least active individuals, particularly those taking 5,000 steps or fewer. Within this group, the risk of developing cardiovascular disease fell from 15 percent among short walkers to 7 percent among those who walked up to 15 minutes at a time.
Senior Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis noted, “We tend to place all the emphasis on the number of steps or the total amount of walking but overlook the crucial role of patterns, for example how walking is done. This study shows that even people who are very physically inactive can maximize their heart health benefit by walking for longer at a time, preferably for at least 10 — 15 minutes, when possible.”
28. Which of the following does Dr. Matthew Ahmadi consider challenging
A. Walking at a comfortable but steady pace.
B. Reaching the goal of walking 10,000 steps a day.
C. Placing an emphasis on sustained walking sessions.
D. Spending at least ten minutes on a walking session.
29. Why were participants asked to wear wristbands
A. To collect their walking data. B. To monitor their heart health.
C. To remind them to walk more. D. To track suitable walking routes.
30. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed
A. By quoting experts. B. By making comparisons.
C. By following time order. D. By listing fictional examples.
31. What does Emmanuel Stamatakis probably suggest inactive people do
A. Adjust their walking patterns. B. Shorten their walking time slowly.
C. Prioritize daily fragmented activity. D. Maximize the total amount of walking.
D
As astronomers gather more data than ever before, studying the universe has become increasingly complex. A new innovation is changing that reality. Researchers have now developed a way to analyze enormous cosmic (宇宙的) datasets using only a laptop and a few hours of processing time.
Dr. Marco Bonici, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Waterloo, and an international team created Effort. jl. The tool uses advanced numerical techniques and smart data — preprocessing methods to deliver exceptional computational performance while maintaining the accuracy required in cosmology.
The idea for Effort. jl emerged from Bonici’s annoying experience running computer models. Each time he adjusted even a single parameter (参数), it could take days of extra computation to see the results. That challenge inspired him to build a faster, more flexible solution that could handle such adjustments in hours rather than days.
Effort. jl belongs to a class of tools, which are trained computational shortcuts that repeat the behavior of large, resource — intensive simulations (模拟) but run dramatically faster. By using those tools, scientists can explore many possible cosmic scenes in a short period of time and apply advanced techniques to study complicated physical models with greater efficiency.
“We were able to confirm the predictions coming out of Effort. jl by comparing them with those coming out of the Effective Field Theory of Large — Scale Structure (EFTofLSS),” Bonici said. “The error was insignificant, which
showed that the calculations coming out of Effort. jl are strong.”
Despite its impressive capabilities, Effort. jl is not a replacement for scientific understanding. Cosmologists still play a vital role in setting parameters, interpreting results, and applying physical insight to ensure meaningful conclusions. The combination of expert knowledge and computational power is what makes the system so effective.
Looking ahead, Effort. jl is expected to take on even larger cosmological datasets and work alongside other analytical tools. Researchers also see potential for its methods in areas beyond stars, planets, and other natural objects in space, including weather and climate modeling.
32. Why did Bonici develop Effort. jl
A. He found existing tools too expensive to use.
B. He desired to inspire more scientists to share data.
C. He aimed to make adjusting parameters automatic.
D. He was upset by time — consuming computer models.
33. What does Bonici stress about Effort. jl in paragraph 5
A. Its accuracy. B. Its challenge. C. Its training data. D. Its working principle.
34. What can we learn from paragraph 6
A. Cosmologists are losing its dominant role. B. The capabilities of Effort. jl remain uncertain.
C. Experts still matter in scientific understanding. D. Computational power is designed to serve humans.
35. What can be inferred about the future of Effort. jl
A. Its speed will significantly decrease. B. It will replace all other analytical tools.
C. It will lose value in processing cosmic data. D. Its applications will be extended to other fields.

The act of spending time in the forest is what the Japanese call shinrin — yoku, a term originating in the 1980s, which means bathing in the forest atmosphere. 36 Instead, it is simply being in nature, connecting with it through your sense of sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch.
Not only is shinrin — yoku a magical way to explore nature, decades of research has shown that it has various health benefits, such as lowering blood pressure and reducing anxiety and depression. 37
First of all, find a location where you’re surrounded by trees. Of course, the best place to forest — bathe is in a forest. 38 You can even get the beneficial effects from a city park.
Aim to reduce heart rate. Your forest bathing session is a good time to sit, walk or do some gentle tai chi. 39
. Otherwise, your tiredness will reduce the effect of forest bathing. Forest bathing is about calming down your nerve system and reducing your heart rate.
40 . One study found that participants who walked in the forest for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon saw an increase in white — blood cells known as natural killer cells, with the effects lasting for at least seven days after. If you can’t set aside a good part of your day to wander in the forest, you can also do shorter walks. Even walking just 5 minutes through the woods can help relieve anxiety and depression.
A. It is not normal exercise or hiking
B. Then how can you get these benefits
C. But it’s not the time to try hard activities
D. What are the benefits of bathing in a forest
E. Spend about two to four hours in the woods
F. Stay in the forest for at least a few minutes each day
G. But if a forest is unavailable, any quiet place with trees will do

On January 5, 2024, a small Chinese company called DeepSeek released a new AI system that could answer questions, solve logic problems and write computer programs as 56 (capable) as AI models from leading AI companies like OpenAI and Meta.
That alone would have been a milestone. But the team behind the system, called DeepSeek — V3, described
57 even bigger step in a research paper: Only about $6 million are used 58 (build) their new system. That is 95% cheaper than OpenAI’s o1.
“But the 59 (big) decision is to make the code open — source and it will benefit consumers and transform society,” said Chris Nicholson, an investor 60 focuses on AI technologies. “For AI to transform society and benefit consumers, 61 needs to be cheap and out of the control of any country or company.”
Since OpenAI released its ChatGPT in 2022, many experts and investors had concluded that no company could compete with leading American AI companies since the widely 62 (accept) wisdom was that they are among the richest companies in the world and that they could stay ahead in the AI sector by spending billions of dollars on
63 (create) advanced chips and building out huge data centers (despite the environmental cost).
Now, the wisdom has been called into question. DeepSeek shows how competition and 64 (innovate) will make AI cheaper and therefore more useful. DeepSeek’s engineers said they needed only about 2,000 specialized computer chips from Nvidia. It is just one 65 (ten) of the computing power used by Meta’s Llama 3.1 model.

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。
At our class New Year party, we all brought gifts, many of which were really great, especially Susan’s candy and Jenna’s nice handbag. “Okay,” our teacher, Mrs. Smith, said. “It’s time for the gift exchange.”
She had us put them all on our classroom table. Then we opened the gifts like a game. We each drew numbers and we went to the table and chose a wrapped gift when our number was called. But we also could take a gift from somebody else that had already had their number called.
I’d hoped the girls would like my nail polish. After all, I hadn’t had much money to spend. I was basically broke and I wanted to get my elder sister something special.
When it was my turn, I took Jenna’s handbag, thinking my sister might like it. Then, suddenly there was a commotion (喧闹). It’d been Hannah’s turn to choose. She was the last one, and she didn’t go for the last wrapped gift on the table. Instead, she took Susan’s gift from Lauren. Well, this meant Lauren had to take the wrapped gift —
the last gift from Kali, who was so poor that she always brought lame gifts — gifts no one ever wanted. I guessed everyone knew that day would be no exception. And it was. The gift Kali had wrapped was a hand — made cup sleeve (杯套)!
“I don’t want this,” Lauren complained. “I want my candy back.”
“No way,” Hannah protested, keeping the candy out of Lauren’s reach.
“Then I want Jenna’s handbag.” Lauren came over to take my handbag. “Trade with me, Lily.” I shook my head. I’d gotten the handbag fair and square.
When we were arguing for the gifts, I noticed Kali sitting silently in the back of the classroom. She was sitting there alone with her head bowed. Suddenly I felt ashamed of myself... and I realized what I should do.
注意：1 ．续写词数应为 150 个左右；
2 ．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“OK. I’ll take the cup sleeve,” I said to Lauren, walking to Kali.
Mrs. Smith cleared her throat at that moment,

W: Hi, everyone! Today, I’d like to share with you my journey into volunteering at an animal shelter. Actually, my journey started a bit later in life. Growing up in a small town, I never had a pet because my father’s illness. My 20s and early 30s were all spent on my career. It wasn’t until my mid — 30s that my husband suggested we get a cat. We both agreed that adopting one would be the best choice. This was my first step into the world of animal rescue. We spent a few weeks working with a local animal shelter to find the perfect cat for us. Finally, we met Whiskers. Because of Whiskers, I started volunteering at the animal shelter on weekends. Over the next year, I fell in love with helping animals. After a year of volunteering, I was asked to help organize adoption events. I loved this role. Every weekend, I would bring the cats to meet potential adopters and share their stories. During my time there, I helped find homes for over 150 cats and even adopted two more cats of my own — Shadow and Luna. It feels amazing to see each cat find their forever home. It’s really rewarding to be part of such a wonderful community.

Dear Mr. Brown,
I am Li Hua, a student passionate about traditional Chinese culture. I am writing to apply as a volunteer for the upcoming Chinese calligraphy — themed cultural exchange activity.
I believe I am well — suited for this role. Firstly, it has been five years since I practiced calligraphy, so I understand its cultural significance. Besides, not only am I fluent in English, but also I have experience in communicating with international students. What’s more, as someone who is passionately committed to sharing Chinese culture, I would gladly assist participants in trying calligraphy themselves.
I will deeply appreciate your consideration of my application!

第二节：
One possible version:
“OK. I’ll take the cup sleeve,” I said to Lauren, walking to Kali. I watched Kali, wanting to say something nice to her and make up for how horrible Lauren and Hannah and I had acted. I then said to Kali in a soft voice, “It’s actually really pretty. Did you make them yourself ” Kali nodded, her eyes lighting up a little, and whispered, “Yeah, I stayed up all night making it.” I smiled warmly at her, saying, “I’m glad to have it.” The classroom, which had been buzzing with arguments moments ago, grew strangely quiet.
Mrs. Smith cleared her throat at that moment. She wiped her eyes before speaking. “Class, I think we’ve just witnessed the real spirit of gift — giving,” she said, her voice thick with emotion. After Mrs. Smith ended her speaking, Hannah stood up and returned Lauren’s candy back. “I’d love to trade, too,” she said softly. Then one by one, everyone expressed that they would like to exchange their gifts. From then on, we all learned to appreciate each other’s efforts and treat everyone with understanding, making our class a warmer and more loving place.
