二、阅读理解
Around the world, historic buildings are being saved not just as museums, but by being given new purposes that serve their communities.
The Musée d’Orsay, Paris
Perhaps one of the most famous transformations is the Musée d’Orsay. The building originally served as a railway station, the Gare d’Orsay, constructed for the 1900 Paris World’s Fair. With the rise of longer trains, the station became unsuitable and was scheduled for removal. Instead, it was reborn in 1986 as a museum dedicated to art from the period 1848 to 1914. Its symbolic clock face and vast, light-filled nave (中殿) now house the world’s finest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, beautifully harmonizing industrial heritage with artistic exhibitions.
The Water Tower, Chicago
Once a crucial part of the city’s 19th-century water system, this Gothic Revival limestone tower survived the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. After being repurposed, its interior was redesigned as a multi-story gallery and event space. It now houses the Lookingglass Theatre Company, and its observation deck offers unique views of the city. It stands as a symbol of staying power and adaptive reuse.
The Teatro Amazonas, Manaus
In the heart of the Amazon rainforest lies an unexpected treasure: a magnificent opera house built during the late 19th-century rubber boom (繁荣). When the boom ended, the theater was left untended for much of the 20th century. Its revival began in the 1990s. Today, fully restored, it serves as the dynamic home of the annual Amazonas Opera Festival, attracting world-class performers and audiences to this remote location.
The Silk Exchange, Valencia
This 15th-century building is a masterpiece of late Gothic civil architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage site. For centuries, it was the center of Valencia’s silk trade. While still a protected monument, its grand Hall of Columns now regularly hosts cultural events, from classical music concerts to temporary art exhibitions, making it a living institution within the city’s cultural landscape.
21．What’s special about the Musée d’Orsay
A．It was a museum built in 1900. B．It holds ancient art collections.
C．It was a former railway station. D．It serves as a creation center.
22．Which building fell into decline due to a key industry collapse
A．The Musée d’Orsay. B．The Water Tower.
C．The Teatro Amazonas. D．The Silk Exchange.
23．What do the four have in common
A．Their rebirth as cultural landmarks. B．Their survival from natural disasters.
C．Their recognition as World Heritage sites. D．Their original design as industrial facilities.
For years, Maya was buried in textbooks and lab reports as a serious pre-med student by day. By night, she was a passionate violinist, losing herself in the complex concertos. Her parents saw music as a “beautiful hobby,” but medicine as a “serious career”. The unspoken rule was clear: one day, the violin case would close for good to make room for a medical doctorate.
Her perspective changed in a neurology class. The professor showed how complex music lights up vast networks in the brain, connecting sound with emotion, memory, and movement. “A musician’s brain is physically rewired by practice,” he said. Maya wondered aloud: “Could that rewiring help heal injured brains ”
Driven by this idea, she began playing her violin for patients at a stroke recovery clinic. Originally, it was only for comfort. But she observed small miracles: a man who couldn’t speak could hum (哼唱) a tune; another with limited movement tapped rhythms.
Her key moment involved Mr. O’Donnell, a former dockworker who disliked classical music and was stuck in his recovery. With a sudden inspiration, Maya played a simple Irish folk song. To everyone’s astonishment, his paralyzed foot began to tap the beat — his first voluntary movement in months. The music seemed to activate a new pathway in his damaged brain.
After she shared this discovery, Maya was introduced to her university’s “Arts & Medicine” program. She met others using dance to help Parkinson’s patients and drama to ease social anxiety.
No longer forced to choose between medicine and music, Maya now leads a student group called “Neural Notes”. They partner musicians with patients, studying how rhythm can scientifically aid recovery. For Maya, her violin is no longer just for concerts — it has become a tool for healing, proving that sometimes the best medicine is not found in a textbook, but in a song.
24．What did Maya’s parents think of music
A．A future profession. B．A personal interest.
C．A waste of potential. D．A means of livelihood.
25．Why did Maya initially start playing at the clinic
A．To practice for her future musical career.
B．To conduct a formal research experiment.
C．To meet her neurology professor’s request.
D．To provide emotional support for patients.
26．What message does Maya’s story convey
A．Traditional medicine loses out to art. B．Two separate paths strike a balance.
C．Artistic passion gains one’s reputation. D．Parental ideas shape children’s future.
27．Which of the following can best describe Maya
A．Passionate and innovative. B．Generous and energetic.
C．Stubborn and ambitious. D．Talented and patient.
In the early 2000s, Brazilian nutrition researcher Carlos Monteiro noticed a puzzling trend: while obesity and type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) rates were rising rapidly in Brazil, household purchases of sugar, salt, and other related ingredients were actually declining. Further investigation revealed the reason: people were buying less sugar for homemade desserts but consuming more of it in pre-made pastries and breakfast cereals. Similarly, salt intake was shifting from home cooking to items like frozen pizza, chicken nuggets, and instant soups.
Monteiro first used the term ultra-processed food (UPF) in a paper in 2009, arguing that people interested in promoting healthy diets should focus more on the degree, extent and purpose of processing than on nutrient profiles. This radical idea caught the attention of other researchers, who, over the next decade or so, published dozens of papers linking UPFs with obesity and a range of other health problems.
Governments soon responded. Starting in 2014, Brazil advised avoiding UPFs, and countries including France and Belgium followed suit. In the United States, officials have also recently underscored UPFs as a public health concern and announced plans for further research.
However, the UPF category faces skepticism. Some scientists argue it is too broad and ill-defined, as it classifies diverse foods like shop-bought yogurt with doughnuts. They question if UPFs’ health risks stem simply from being high in fat and sugar, and low in fiber and vitamins. Despite ongoing debates, existing evidence offers valuable guidance for those seeking healthy dietary choices.
28．What is paragraph 1 mainly about
A．The rising rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes in Brazil.
B．The changing ways of consuming sugar and salt in Brazil.
C．The confusing phenomenon observed by a Brazilian researcher.
D．The popularity of pre-made foods in Brazilian households.
29．What does the underlined word “underscored” in paragraph 3 mean
A．described B．emphasized C．identified D．admitted
30．What can be inferred about the UPF category
A．It lacks scientific evidence to support its accuracy.
B．It ignores the nutrient profiles of processed foods.
C．It fails to define fat and sugar in unhealthy foods.
D．It groups different foods without clear boundaries.
31．What is the main purpose of the text
A．To encourage people to give up ultra-processed foods.
B．To criticize the harm of ultra-processed foods to health.
C．To introduce the origin and impacts of the UPF concept.
D．To compare different countries’ dietary advice on UPFs.
Humanoid robots have long symbolized the future — machines that walk, talk, and work alongside panies like Boston Dynamics and Tesla showcase robots running or performing factory tasks. Yet a fundamental question remains: What are they actually for
In theory, a human-shaped robot could operate in human spaces using human tools. However, in reality, today’s humanoids are often slow, unstable, and extremely expensive, with components like high-torque (扭矩) motors and precision sensors driving up production costs. Behind polished demonstration videos lie countless failed attempts and teams of engineers adjusting code off-camera.
This gap between promise and reality is a classic challenge in robotics. Real progress has occurred in narrow, well-defined tasks. Wheeled robots efficiently move shelves in warehouses; in comparison, robotic arms assist surgeons with unmatched precision in delicate procedures like microsurgery, reducing human error. These machines succeed because they are designed for specific jobs — not to imitate a person.
Supporters believe advanced artificial intelligence will unlock the potential of humanoids. Current AI excels at pattern recognition, not physical reasoning. Teaching a robot to “pick up the cup without spilling” requires understanding weight, balance, and physics — skills humans acquire through a lifetime of embodied experience.
Cost is another barrier. A general-purpose humanoid may cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, while specialized robotic arms are far cheaper and require less maintenance over time, lowering long-term operational expenses. For businesses, the practical choice is clear: single-purpose robots get the job done efficiently.
Some researchers argue humanoids hold value not as replacements for humans, but as platforms for studying movement, learning, and human-robot interaction. This research aim, however, differs greatly from the popular vision of robots serving drinks or providing elderly care.
Ultimately, the humanoid robot reflects our desire to see ourselves in our creations. Yet if the goal is to build truly helpful robots, we might need to move beyond the human form — and simply design machines good at their specific tasks.
32．What does the writer mention as the major limitation of humanoid robots
A．High cost and poor performance. B．Inability to operate in human spaces.
C．Difficulty in copying human gestures. D．Absence of artificial intelligence support.
33．What does teaching a robot to “pick up the cup” require
A．Advanced pattern recognition skills. B．Lifetime human experience transfer.
C．Adjustments by engineers off-camera. D．Understanding of physical properties.
34．What is the author’s attitude toward humanoid robots
A．Objective and reflective. B．Critical and reluctant.
C．Optimistic and supportive. D．Doubtful and disappointed.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Humanoid Robots: Future or Present B．Humanoid Robots: Progress or Challenge
C．Humanoid Robots: Evolution or Tradition D．Humanoid Robots: Usefulness or Imagination
In January, China released a master plan for building a strong education system by 2035. With good reason, the master plan links the lack of enough outdoor exercise with the prevalence of myopia (近视) and obesity among the country’s children and adolescents. 36
In a popular science report released in 2025, China Youth Daily explained that outdoor lights can help one’s retina (视网膜) release more dopamine, which in turn helps prevent eyeball elongation (an increase in axial length) — a main cause of myopia. 37 At the same time, outdoor activities help students look into the distance, thus reducing time spent on short-distance use of eyes. In the absence of effective intervention, the report warns, China will enter a high-risk period of blinding eye diseases, mainly characterized by high myopia, in the next two or three decades.
The newspaper also explained that children playing less than one hour a day outdoors are two to three times more likely to develop myopia than those who play at least two hours a day outdoors. 38 Yet not all students or their parents understand the benefit of sports activities, though. Some parents stick to the old notion that academic scores matter the most. That partly explains why off-campus exercises are hard to monitor.
39 When China decided to require all primary and secondary school students to have at least one hour off-campus sports activities in 2021, a national survey conducted by China Youth Daily among 1,165 parents revealed that heavy academic homework was the chief reason why enough sports activities could not be guaranteed. To be specific, 41.1 percent of the parents surveyed said outdoor exercises were a waste of time.
For these parents, I would suggest they read a study report published recently in The Lancet Regional Health — Western Pacific. 40 The risk of myopia is not to be overlooked.
A．However, carrying out such a policy has encountered certain obstacles.
B．Schools have strengthened the management of campus safety in recent years.
C．This chemical acts as a key regulator in preventing the abnormal growth of the eyeball.
D．The report highlights the tie between insufficient outdoor activity and high myopia risk.
E．The data provides solid evidence for the importance of outdoor time in myopia prevention.
F．Many parents send their children to after-school tutoring classes to boost academic performance.
G．This plan aims to improve the overall health of the younger generation through targeted measures.
三、完形填空
The expression “ai ni laoji” — “love you, my dear self” — was first uttered near the end of 2025. It has since 41 Chinese social media, earning “GOATed” and “kindest meme (梗) of the year” honors. It gave rise to several media commentaries.
In modern Chinese society, rapid urbanization and the one-child generation have become the social mainstream, 42 how young people live. Moving away from 43 family and neighborhood networks, they now enjoy greater freedom of 44 — but also face life on their own. Moments of 45 or low spirits come with a sense that there is no one to lean on.
It is against this background that ideas like “ai ni laoji” have gained 46 . This attitude 47 people to treat themselves as their most stable and reliable 48 — to become their own 49 support. Laoji is a tongue-in-cheek way for Chinese social media users to refer to themselves like an old friend. As one popular saying puts it, “laoji is the only one who would spend 100 yuan ($14) on you without 50 .”
What began as a joke has become something more 51 : a deeply-felt response by young people to a fast-changing, emotionally 52 society, and a way of building inner order and offering themselves unwavering support. The word laoji, a witty verbal device (语言技巧) that refers to the speakers themselves, aims to 53 the feelings of awkwardness and shame that Chinese people of older generations might experience if declaring they love themselves, making the practice of self-love feel more natural and effortless.
As young Chinese turn 54 for the strength to love themselves, they are also expressing longing for a society that can love them — one with a more level playing field, more expansive opportunities, stronger values that celebrate success by their 55 .
41．A．made up B．interacted with C．taken over D．benefited from
42．A．reshaping B．rethinking C．restoring D．representing
43．A．once-busy B．once-close C．once-peaceful D．once-strong
44．A．change B．fortune C．secret D．choice
45．A．shyness B．loneliness C．laziness D．nervousness
46．A．advantage B．insight C．reputation D．popularity
47．A．encourages B．urges C．pushes D．allows
48．A．master B．companion C．guide D．judge
49．A．physical B．biological C．economical D．emotional
50．A．hope B．effort C．hesitation D．risk
51．A．suspicious B．obvious C．serious D．precious
52．A．distant B．senior C．impressive D．calm
53．A．desert B．lecture C．outline D．stress
54．A．downward B．inward C．upward D．outward
55．A．authority B．inspiration C．definition D．comment
四、语法填空
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。将答案填写在答题卡上的相应位置。
Nest-building is essential for orangutans (红毛猩猩). Unlike many behaviors in animals, this skill is neither 56 (entire) instinctive nor quickly learned.
Orangutans must manipulate branches, twigs, and leaves with strength and dexterity while 57 (make) decisions about materials and structure. Night nests are far 58 (complex), compared with day nests, and can include linings, pillows, blankets, and even roofs.
Both technical know-how and material knowledge, which makes nest-building 59 cognitively demanding task, 60 (require) to build such structures. Young orangutans begin showing interest in nests 61 just six months, playing with leaves and branches. Practice of basic day nests 62 (start) when they are one, but night nest practice is not mastered until the age of plex additions, such as multitree nests and comfort 63 (element) appear later. This long timeline shows that the skill is not acquired quickly but gradually.
64 researchers once documented was that immatures who carefully peered at their mothers during nest-building were more likely to practice soon afterward. This highlights the importance of selective attention in learning. “Based on 17 years of observational data, this shows that this learning process is highly 65 (depend) on young animals carefully watching the nest-building of others.” noted Dr. Ani Permana from the University of Warwick.

六、书面表达
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。
We live near a highway exit, where the relentless roar of engines echoes day and night. Over the years, many tired travelers have stopped at our door, asking for small kindnesses: a phone call, a glass of water, or simply directions. Their faces etched with exhaustion, voices hoarse from endless miles, all have been strangers to me. Each time, I’ve had to weigh the risks.
One summer evening a few years ago, as the sky darkened into ominous gray clouds, an unfamiliar woman stood weakly at our doorway. She leaned heavily against the wooden frame, her shoulders slumped as if bearing the weight of the world. Through the dim light of the porch, I could see the outline of her head — hair uncombed, cheeks sunken, eyes barely open. She clearly needed help. The question filled my mind: “What should I do ”
This wasn’t the first time I’d faced such a difficult choice. In today’s world, we’re often told to be cautious. It is believed that helping strangers is unwise and may risk terrible consequences. News stories warn that kind people often end up as victims. There is no doubt that those are true stories, but the lesson conflicts with my heart. Sometimes doing the right thing requires courage.Should we fear everyone we don’t know Is personal safety always the only thing that matters Our home’s location often forces me to make difficult choices. Turning away the travelers in need has its own cost — not just to them, but to me. I’d rather risk a little than live with guilt. I’d rather choose kindness than let fear rule me.注意：

66．Dear Linda,
As for that meaningful quote, I believe it highlights that true fulfillment comes not only from racing towards tomorrow, but from actively committing to a direction we believe in and giving it our full effort.
In my own life, I plan to first pause and reflect on my core values to identify what is truly worth striving for in my studies and life. Then, I will focus my energy on relevant studies and daily actions, like striving for improvement rather than being distracted by every new trend. I believe this approach can help us live more meaningful lives.
I look forward to hearing more of your insights.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
67．范文
Taking a deep breath, I opened the screen door and invited her in. The woman stumbled slightly as she stepped in, her face covered with faint sweat. “My car broke down,” she whispered weakly, “and I’ve been walking for miles.” I guided her to the sofa and brought a glass of water, which she drank greedily. As she recovered slightly, she told me her name was Sarah and she was trying to reach her sick mother in the next town. Without hesitation, I called a local mechanic. Within twenty minutes, help arrived. When Sarah handed me some notes, I gently refused. “Just pay it forward someday,” I said. We exchanged phone numbers and I watched her leave, her eyes filled with grateful tears.
As her car disappeared into the night, I closed the door with a peaceful heart. The fear that had gripped me moments earlier had vanished, replaced by a warm glow. Standing in the quiet hallway, I realized that courage isn’t the absence of fear — it’s choosing what’s right despite it. Later that night, I received a text: Sarah had reached her mother safely. The simple message confirmed what I had always known deep down: kindness is never a mistake. Yes, risks exist in this world, but the cost of hardness is far greater. I fell asleep knowing that tomorrow, if another traveler appears at my door, I’ll choose kindness again — every single time.
