阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Film Thinker | Hey, everyone! Let’s talk about Zootopia. What does Zootopia’s ending really mean? I think the movie isn’t giving us a simple“happy ending”— it’s actually a smart criticism of widespread bias. What do you all think? Change my mind! |
Detail Seeker ♡2 ☆2 | Interesting! But don’t forget it’s a kids’ movie,a family movie. It needs aclear, hopeful ending for younger viewers — like the evil guy being caught.The deeper, critical layer is there for adults to discover. That dual-levelstorytelling is what makes it brilliant. So the ending works both as asatisfying close and a quiet invitation to reflect. |
Story Builder ♡0 ☆0 2 | Great point! The most powerful scene is Judy’s press conference. She didn’t mean to cause harm, but her words about “biological instincts” made everything worse. That’s exactly how unconscious bias works in real life — it’s often invisible but causes real damage. The personal friendship at the end is heartwarming, but the city’s deeper problems? They’re still there. The movie holds up a mirror to society. In fact, the movie is a mirror for our own world. |
MovieFan4 Life ♡4☆0 0 | I never thought about it like that before. You’ve opened my eyes! My 7-year-old son loves this movie for the bunnies and foxes. I love it for the social comments. That’s the magic of Zootopia — it works on every level. You can watch it with your kids and have two completely different experiences, but both of you end up loving the same movie. Not many films can do that. The term “systemic bias” might sound heavy, but the film explains it through character and conflict. It doesn’t just entertain; it educates. It’s a lesson in empathy, disguised as a fun cartoon. More films should aim for this. |
21. What can we infer about Zootopia from the discussion?
A. It fails to attract young audiences.
B. It's intended mainly for adult viewers.
C. It provides perfect solutions to social problems.
D. It's highly praised for its dual-level storytelling.
22. Why is Judy’s press conference considered powerful?
A. It builds up the public trust in the police.
B. It exposes the harm of unconscious bias.
C. It directly criticizes unfair political systems.
D. It leads to the immediate arrest of the wrongdoer.
23. Why does the speaker’s 7-year-old son love Zootopia?
A. He understands its social comments.
B. He enjoys its difficult and complex plots.
C. He is fond of the lovely animal characters.
D. He shows great interest in the press conference.
B
Zhang Hongjun once spent his days on noisy construction sites in Shanghai, far from his rural hometown in Fujian province. For over a decade, his life followed a common path: long hours of labor, low pay, and the loneliness of being a migrant worker in a vast city. He dreamed of a change but saw few opportunities back home.
A visit became a turning point. Stuck in his village, Zhang noticed something new. The roads were paved, internet signals were strong, and the local government was offering support to those willing to start businesses. The beautiful mountains and fresh air, once taken for granted, now seemed full of potential. An idea began to form: what if he could build a future here, not just make a living there?
Using his savings and a small government grant, Zhang took a daring step. He transformed his family’s old, empty house into a modern café, a place where city visitors could enjoy coffee while viewing the terraced fields. At first, neighbors were puzzled. “Who will come to the mountains for coffee?” they asked. Zhang persisted, learning about coffee beans and design online.
Today, “Mountain Cloud Café” is more than a coffee shop. It’s a window for his village. Tourists come on weekends, and through his café, they discover and buy local specialties like mountain tea and dried fruits. Zhang has hired two local women, providing them with stable income. More importantly, his success has sparked a conversation. A few other young people, who once thought leaving was the only option, are now asking, “Could I come back too?”
“My dream isn’t huge,” Zhang says, looking at the lively scene outside. “I just want our home to thrive, so that our children might have a choice to stay.” His journey from construction site to café owner paints a picture of modern rural China — one where returning wings bring new life.
24. Which of the following best describes Zhang’s early life as a migrant worker?
A. Relaxed and secure.B. Disconnected but satisfied.
C. Lonely and unfulfilled.D. Stressful but meaningful.
25. Why did Zhang return and start his Café business?
A. He failed in his job in Shanghai.
B. He was in poor condition in the city.
C. He was invited by the local government.
D. He found new changes and support in his village.
26. What can we learn about Mountain Cloud Café?
A. It has helped develop the village.B. It features providing modern coffee.
C. It mainly sells coffee to young villagers.D. It is well received from beginning to end.
27. What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A. A New Trend of City TourismB. The Importance of Local Specialties
C. From Migrant Worker to Café OwnerD. Ways to Run a Successful Country Café
C
A long-lost sculpture by American artist Harry Bertoia has been rediscovered and is back on display in Michigan.
The dramatic 26-foot-tall piece, created in 1970, now hangs in the seven-story atrium of General Motors’ new global headquarters, in Detroit, according to an announcement from the company.
The artwork, consisting of brass-and-bronze-coated steel wires, was originally commissioned for a Michigan mall. After the mall’s renovation in 1980, it was moved to another location but never displayed, though the mall opened again in 1983. For decades, it lay forgotten in a dusty basement until a shocking discovery in 2017 by an art appraiser (评估人) and a city arts commissioner. “It was all bent up, and dirty, covered with grit and cobwebs,” recalled Celia Bertoia, the artist’s daughter.
Its rescue found a perfect homecoming. General Motors, which had relocated its headquarters to a site with historical ties to the sculpture’s original commissioner, purchased the damaged work for $1 million. The connection runs deeper: GM had commissioned Bertoia’s first major public sculpture in 1953, and the artist, an Italian immigrant who arrived in Detroit at 15, had the auto industry’s deep fascination with metal and light.
Following over a year of careful restoration, installing the massive piece was an engineering feat, requiring a large opening in the building wall and crane lifts. Bertoia, who died in 1978, created art for many public spaces, believing it should be lived with and seen. His daughter sees this vertical sculpture as echoing her father’s spiritual, cosmic perspective. GM plans to offer public tours, finally allowing this once-forgotten masterpiece to be appreciated by all, fulfilling the artist’s wish for his work to connect with people.
28. What does the underlined word “renovation” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Renewal.B. Rediscovery.C. Construction.D. Destruction.
29. What directly led to the rediscovery of the sculpture?
A. City’s planned asset inventory.B. Mall closure for redevelopment.
C. Public interest in company history.D. Expert recognition during inspection.
30. Why was GM considered the ideal owner for the rediscovered sculpture?
A. It offered the highest bid.
B. It could fund the costly restoration.
C. It held exclusive rights to the artist’s works.
D. It shared historical connections with the piece.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The artwork is huge and delicate.
B. GM charges visitors for tours to see the sculpture.
C. The sculpture will finally be made available for the public.
D. The artist’s daughter will serve as a tour guide at the exhibit.
D
To get more EVs on the road, scientists are working to charge a car in the same time that it takes to fuel up at a gas station.
Electric vehicles are quieter, easier to repair and maintain, and far better for the environment than traditional cars. Still, numbers of EVs on the road are trailing behind the cars they’re supposed to replace, in part due to charging times. While fueling a gas car takes minutes, charging an EV can take much longer. The fastest public chargers (Level 3) can charge a battery to 80% in about 20 minutes, but slower and more common Level 2 chargers take hours, and Level 1 chargers at home can take days.
Scientists believe faster charging is possible by advancing battery science and charging technology. The goal is to approach refueling speed without compromising on safety or the long-term life of the battery.
The core challenge is electrochemistry. EV batteries have two electrodes (anode and cathode). During charging, lithium ions must move back to the anode. If they move too quickly, they can get “stuck”, reducing efficiency and potentially causing a short circuit or fire. Venkat Srinivasan of Argonne National Laboratory compares this to “getting 100 people into a narrow room” — all trying to pass through one small door. Researchers are exploring new battery chemistries to create multiple microscopic pathways for ions, easing congestion.
Another approach involves smarter charging software. Current charging uses a steady flow of electricity, which slows as the battery fills. By adjusting the current based on the battery’s condition — for example, increasing it when the battery is around 30% charged and resistance is low — researchers at Idaho National Laboratory believe charging can be made both faster and safer.
While research aims to replicate the gas-station experience, experts note that ultra-fast charging will mainly serve long trips or emergencies. For daily use, slower charging at home or work will remain the norm. “We drive to get from A to B,” says Idaho National Laboratory’s Tim Pennington, “not because we like going to the gas station. We don’t need a ten-minute charge every day.”
32. How does the author present the issue of EV adoption in the first two paragraphs?
A. By providing statistical data on sales.
B. By citing experts’ conflicting opinions.
C. By comparing charging and refueling times.
D. By listing the environmental advantages of EVs.
33. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning “100 people”?
A. The collaboration among scientists.B. The need for more charging stations.
C. The physical bottleneck in fast charging.D. The complexity of battery manufacturing.
34. What is a key function of smarter charging software?
A. User-chosen charging speed.B. Overheating prevention during charging.
C. Fast charging from ordinary home outlets.D. Current adjusted to the state of the battery.
35. What can we learn about ultra-fast chargers in daily life?
A. They are largely unnecessary for routine use.
B. They are considered essential for all EV users.
C. They are seen as equally important as home charging.
D. They are believed to eventually replace all slower chargers.

Few activities are more engaging than storytelling. Students are primed to tell stories, and teachers can design digital storytelling as capstone projects (毕业设计). Storytelling naturally ignites emotion, leading to memorable learning, and allows movies to serve as summative assessments.
Getting started requires guiding students to develop a script. 36A key point is that digital stories differ from reports. Merely reciting facts creates a product easily generated by AI. A better strategy is to ask students to wrap their learning in a narrative structure. Narrative provides a framework for learning new information. For example, students can personify a concept like rational numbers or a historical object. 37.
38They can plan their movie using a storyboard or two-column script. Take some time to teach explicitly the concept of “agreement”, or matching what the viewer sees to what they hear in the script. Thinking about this complementary process, and taking the time to plan visuals and sounds, allows students to build audiovisual literacy skills, too.
The most important component of a student movie project is the sound. Viewers overlook technical flaws but struggle with poor audio. Students should practice scripts aloud for fluency. 39
During editing, remind students of agreement between visuals and audio. 40As for audio, music has a powerful impact on storytelling because it tells viewers how to feel. Foster audio literacy by discussing tone and mood. Help students understand how song selection affects the audience’s perception of their ideas. In addition, provide copyright-free sound resources for them to use. Finally, provide repeated opportunities for video creation across subjects. This develops storytelling proficiency and fluency.
A. Meanwhile, they should consider clear recording techniques.
B. Auditory effects should always be the focus of student projects.
C. Start simply, then encourage exploring features like green screens.
D. After having a solid script, students should move on to planning their film.
E. However, many students initially approach it like writing a traditional report.
F. For instance, using earbuds with microphones can greatly improve sound quality.
G. Using universal story structures, they integrate facts into a character’s experience.

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。
I felt looked down upon, degraded, and rejected that day in seventh grade. At school and at home, I was constantly blamed for things I never did, feeling low, embarrassed, and forever behind. Their opinions defined me — I truly believed I was worthless.
A new start came in Mr. Lee’s ninth-grade science class with a group project on insect behavior — a topic I’d secretly loved since childhood. I’d stayed up late reading books, drawing sketches (草图) of ant groups, and even setting up a small observation box at home. As expected, when group formation began, I was left standing alone. “She’ll just sit there doing nothing,” whispered Omar, a boy from the front row. My cheeks burned, and I slid my notebook into my desk, fighting back tears. Just then, Mr. Lee walked over. He picked up my notebook — filled with detailed sketches of ant groups I had been making for months. “I’ve been reviewing your observations,” he said, his voice warm and firm. “Your notes on the ants’ communication methods are remarkably precise, and your sketches show exceptional attention to detail. Seeing such a bright kid fills me with pleasure.”
The word “bright” deeply touched me. Fueled by this first-ever praise, I decided to work alone, spending every lunch break on my observations while others worked in groups.
One afternoon, I entered the lab to find my observation box broken, ants running everywhere, and my precious notebook — the very proof of my “brightness” — was torn apart. Omar called it an accident. I sank to the floor, tears streaming down my face, my hard-won confidence broken completely. I felt as worthless as I had in seventh grade, unaware of Mr. Lee’s approach until his gentle voice pulled me from the darkness.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Your brightness isn’t torn like the notebook,” Mr. Lee said softly.
On presentation day, I proved my true worth through the restored project.

Labor Shapes Us
Good morning, friends. It’s my honor to share my voluntary experience in our school canteen last week.
I assisted the staff by sorting vegetables, washing dishes and wiping tables neatly before meals. Though the repetitive work exhausted me at first, seeing the tidy canteen filled me with a strong sense of achievement. During the work, I witnessed the chefs’ sweat and hard work. They silently provide delicious meals for us daily, making me realize labor is never minor. It connects people, sustains our life, and teaches me to cherish food and respect every worker.
This experience deeply shaped me. Labor exercises our bodies and fosters gratitude and responsibility. Let’s actively participate in labor, value its fruits, and become responsible individuals. Thank you!

“Your brightness isn’t torn like the notebook,” Mr. Lee said softly. I lifted my tear-covered face, staring at him in disbelief. He smoothed a torn sketch gently and spoke firmly, “Things can break, but your curiosity and eye for detail are part of you. Others’ unfair opinions never define who you truly are.” His support shifted my shaken self-belief at once. With his help, I glued the sketches, added new notes, and rebuilt the box with extra care. I taped my work to the lab wall, pride replacing despair, and resolved to turn this setback into strength, ready to show my true worth in the upcoming presentation.
On presentation day, I proved my true worth through the restored project. I stood tall, holding the durable box and repaired notebook, my voice clear. I explained ants’ behaviors and shared my story: I once let rejection make me feel worthless, but Mr. Lee’s support taught me that how I see myself matters most. “This failure was a tough test, but my hard work pulled me through,” I declared. The class burst into applause; Omar whispered a soft sorry. I smiled, grasping the truth: rejection never defines you, self-belief lights your way, and every failure is just a stepping stone to real success.
