My family have collected bottles from sunrise to sunset all year long. My mother leaves at dawn to collect cans, and when she returns 12 hours later, I help her pull the shopping cart to the recycling center through the streets of Bushwick. I have kept it a secret all the time. I couldn't bear the idea of my friends knowing our family live off other people's garbage. I felt guilty for being embarrassed, but I couldn't help it. I was not ready to trust someone else.
Then I took a college essay course, which required me to write an essay about what had the greatest impact on my personal growth. I chose to write about the impact my neighborhood had on me. At the end, there was just one sentence about can collecting.
One day after class, my teacher asked me to discuss my essay draft. “Your story has potential; however, it is not about personal growth. Would you tell me about the can collecting?” So I was faced with sharing my secret. But he was my teacher and I trusted him so I rewrote the essay.
Two days later I found out we were expected to read our essays out loud after lunch, but I felt ashamed that my peers would know. As I headed down to the cafeteria, I met up with a friend, Mason, who I always have lunch with. I was less talkative, and Mason found that I had something on my mind. I told him I was embarrassed about my family's story. “You should be proud that your family are struggling to take care of their loved ones.” This was what I needed to hear and I felt like I could finally breathe after all those years of hiding a part of myself.
When we got back to class, I felt ready to read my draft out loud. After my classmates listened to my story, they said things like: “Each of our stories is unique to our experience and shapes us.” “Your being ashamed only hurts you.” “Accept your home and community, because they are your true family.”
Now, when people ask me what my parents do for a living, I tell them, not with embarrassment or shame but with pride, that my parents are can collectors.
24.Why did the author mention can collecting very briefly in his essay?
A.To highlight his family story. B.To hide his long-lasting secret.
C.To make his essay persuasive.D.To summarize his experience.
25.What advice did Mason give to the author?
A.Try hard to survive the poverty.B.Show greater love for his family.
C.Form the habit of talking more.D.Treasure his family's struggles.
26.How did the classmates respond after listening to the author's story?
A.They gave some criticism.B.They showed great pity.
C.They expressed thanks.D.They offered persuasion.
27.What caused the author to change his attitude towards his family secret?
A.Mason's encouraging words.B.Taking a college essay course.
C.Reading the essay aloud in class.D.His teacher's guidance on the essay.
C
Most children love stories. Stories are entertaining and fun, but can they be more than just fun? Findings from a new study led by Rebecca de Leeuw, an assistant professor at the Radboud University, indicate stories in movies can also be meaningful for children.
The researchers contacted children between 4 and 15 years old after they watched the Disney film Inside Out. This film takes place mainly in the head of an 11-year-old girl, where her emotions — Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, personified as different characters — conflict on how to help her best in her new life after her family moves. The story follows the “hero’s journey” — a classical narrative (叙事的) framework, which involves a hero who goes on an adventure, overcomes challenges, and returns changed. So the research team chose this film. When making this film, the film-makers had in-depth discussions with psychologists to make the emotion animation consistent with scientific knowledge.
The research team asked mostly open-ended questions to encourage the children to share their thoughts, including the key question: “Was there a part of the movie you had to think about?” Children looked at stills of important scenes and were invited to explain in their own words what happened. If they liked, they also rewatched scenes of the film.
While watching, children made sense of the feelings, motives and behavior of characters in the film, using their social intelligence skills. They also further developed these skills when they were challenged in making sense of the story. Children also mentioned they appreciated seeing acts of pity, kindness, love and bravery in the film. Just like adults, they were even touched to tears by these qualities.
One of the children in the study even expressed that Joy inspired her to never quit in her own life. The more insights children gained while watching, the more meaningful the story became for them. Altogether, stories in movies can be a quick way for children to gain life experience and wisdom.
28. Why did the research team choose the film Inside Out?
A. It focuses on scientific knowledge.B. It is directed and produced by Disney.
C. It is based on a girl’s emotional journey.D. It follows a typical story-telling structure.
29. How did the research team draw their conclusion?
A. By interviewing children.
B. By conducting experiments.
C. By referring to previous studies.
D. By making comparisons between two groups of children.
30. What were the children asked to do in the study?
A. Share their personal favorite stories.B. Repeat touching scenes of the film.
C. Voice their opinions about the story.D. Come up with questions on the film.
31. What can be concluded according to the findings?
A. Stories in movies can increase children’s survival skills.
B. Stories in movies would help children become mature.
C. Stories in movies would improve children’s social interactions.
D. Stories in movies can make children more intelligent academically.
D
Imagine a customer-service center that speaks your language, no matter what it is. Alorica, a company in Irvine, California, which runs customer-service centers around the world, has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) translation tool that lets its workers talk with customers who speak 200 different languages and 75 dialects. So an Alorica worker who speaks, say, only Spanish can deal with a complaint about an incorrect bank statement from a Cantonese speaker in Hong Kong. And it wouldn’t need to hire an employee who speaks Cantonese.
However, Alorica isn’t cutting jobs. It will increasingly hire those who are comfortable with new technology.
Potentially, the threat: Perhaps companies won’t need as many employees — and will cut some jobs — if chatbots can handle the workload instead. Consider Suumit Shah, an Indian businessman who caused an uproar last year by saying that he had replaced 90% of his customer support staff with a chatbot named Lina. The move at Shah’s company, Dukaan, which helps customers set up e-commerce sites, reduced the response time to an inquiry from 1 minute, 44 seconds to “instant”. It also cut the typical time needed to solve problems from more than two hours to just over three minutes.
Similarly, researchers at Harvard Business School found in a study last year that job postings for writers, coders and artists decreased greatly within eight months of the arrival of ChatGPT.
But being exposed to AI doesn’t necessarily mean losing your job to it. The Swedish furniture retailer IKEA, for example, introduced a customer-service chatbot in 2021 to handle simple inquiries. Instead of cutting jobs, IKEA retrained 8,500 customer-service workers to handle such tasks as advising customers on interior design and fielding complex customer calls.
The experience at Alorica and IKEA suggests that AI may not prove to be the job killer that many people fear. Instead, the technology might turn out to be more like breakthroughs of the past—the steam engine, electricity and the Internet, which get rid of some jobs while creating others and probably make workers more productive in general to the eventual benefit of workers themselves, their employers and the economy.
32．What does the author want to tell us by the example in paragraph 1?
A．The power of AI.B．The threat from humans.
C．The customer requirements.D．The tips on language learning.
33．What advantage does Lina have over other staff?
A．Winning the trust of customers.B．Responding to customers faster.
C．Selling more products to customers.D．Having a great relationship with Shah.
34．What were IKEA’s customer-service workers asked to do in 2021?
A．Take on other duties.B．Leave their company.
C．Move to HongKong.D．Develop latest chatbots.
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．How Will AI Change Our Lives?B．How Should We Use AI Effectively?
C．Will AI Take Away Many Human Jobs?D．What Is the Future of Traditional Companies?
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you know how to deal with failure at school? Four steps will help you get the most out of each failure and more on.
36 When you feel bad after failing, talk with your parents or good friends, or any other adult. Then decide to take the duty to improve yourself. Read the teachers’ comments on your test carefully.
Ask yourself what you were trying to do and why you failed. 37 Maybe you didn’t have all the information you needed; maybe you made a mistake or a poor decision. If so, give yourself a pat on the back. Fewer people ever get something right the first time they try it, and often it takes them many times. 38 Sometimes the failure isn’t because of something you did or didn’t do; it is someone else’s fault. But don’t spend time blaming them; instead, move on toward your goals.
39 Review the situation to see what your choices are. There is a different between making a decision and giving up. Deciding to follow a better way is one thing; simply walking away means you really have failed.
Keep trying again. Successful people are different because they choose their next steps instead of just reacting to feelings. If a goal still important to you, figure out what to do and go after it again. 40
A. No pains, no gains.
B. Don’t give up easily
C. Failure is unavoidable
D. Remove your bad feelings
E. If it isn’t, do your best on something else
F. Actually it was because you were very lazy
G. Usually it was because you were trying out a new skill or learning a new subject.

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。
It was exam time at Marc's school. Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers' instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study.
His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do.
"Shall we go to the park?" he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. "It's a nice day. We could play football and kick around." Huck shook his head. "I'm supposed to review my lessons," he said. "I'm going home to do some math."
Marc was amazed. "You'd rather do math than play football?" “Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.”
“That's crazy”, said Marc. Huck shrugged(耸肩) and replied, "Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!"
" You won't beat me," said Marc.
" Oh yes, I will." "Oh no, you won't! That will never happen. Just wait and see!" For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn't bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he'd forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn't know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window.

小作文范文：
Dear Peter,
Sorry to hear that you have faced such tough situations, I'm writing to deliver some advice.
Speaking of the first situation, I totally understand the loneliness of not knowing anybody in the new class, because I just went through the similar difficulty. To get rid of the bad feeling, I suggest that you should give your classmate a hand when they need it! Only in this way can you earn yourself opportunities to meet new friends. When it comes to the pressure caused by poor grades, remember to believe in your hard work. It is wise of you to consider each test a process to learn from your mistakes. Why not apply yourself to taking down notes carefully and ask teachers for help immediately? It will help you to master daily knowledge effectively.
I hope the suggestions above can benefit you. Contact me if you have other problems. We can handle them together!
Yours,
Li Hua
读后续写范文：
P1: "You don't look happy, Marc. What's wrong?" she said. Hopeless and helpless, he turned to look at Lily, explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck. Glancing at loads of homework, “I am eager to revise math, but I don't know where to start and how to do”, he sighed.“Don't worry. I will help you with the exam.” Lily comforted him. The following days, Marc worked very hard and every time he wanted to give up, it occurred to him that he did not want to lose to Huck.Having prepared for the exam for a few days, his confidence grew and he could solve the math problems easily.
P2: On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. Nervous as he was, he decided to spare no effort to finish the paper.He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted, as if he was bound to win. But Marc did not care.The exam started and Marc answered all the questions carefully. Several days later, the result came out. A strong sense of excitement overwhelmed Marc as he knew he passed the exam successfully. Relieved and delighted, he called his sister after the exam, expressing his joy and gratitude. It was this unique experience that made Marc realize “ Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.”
阅读理解解析：
A ：这是一则竞赛广告
21. C. GRAND FLASH 2025.
解析：题目要求为一篇 490 字的科幻小说寻找最适合的比赛。我们需要对比各个比赛的字数限制：- TRAVEL TALES: 1,500-1,700 字
- CROSS-GENERATION FRIENDS: 1,500-1,700 字
- GRAND FLASH 2025: 500 字
- NATURAL WORLD: 1,500-1,700 字
- 490 字最接近 GRAND FLASH 2025 的 500 字要求。
22. C. £15.
解析：题目问非订阅者（non-subscriber）至少需要支付多少钱才能参加两项比赛。
要找到“最少”花费，我们需要选择两个最便宜的参赛费用。
四个比赛的非订阅者费用分别是 £7.50, £7.50, £18.50, £7.50。
最便宜的两项都是 £7.50。
总费用 = £7.50 + £7.50 = £15。
23. B. It accepts non-fiction entries.
解析：题目问 NATURAL WORLD 与其他比赛的不同之处。
关键信息在于 NATURAL WORLD 的描述：“Prose fiction and narrative non-fiction”（散文小说和叙事性非小说）。
其他三个比赛（TRAVEL TALES, CROSS-GENERATION FRIENDS, GRAND FLASH 2025）都只明确提到了“fiction”（小说）。
因此，接受非小说类作品是它独有的特点。
B ：个人故事
24. B. To hide his long-lasting secret.
解析：作者在文中提到“I have kept it a secret all the time.”（我一直保守着这个秘密），并且因为羞耻感而不愿让朋友知道。因此，在最初的论文中只简要提及捡瓶子，是为了继续隐藏这个秘密。
25. D. Treasure his family's struggles.
解析：Mason 对作者说：“You should be proud that your family are struggling to take care of their loved ones.”（你应该为你的家人努力照顾他们所爱的人而感到骄傲）。这句话的核心是让作者珍视并为家人的奋斗（struggles）感到自豪，而不是感到羞耻。
26. D. They offered persuasion.
解析：同学们听完故事后的反应是：“你的故事塑造了你”、“羞耻只会伤害你自己”、“接受你的家和社区”。这些都不是批评（A）、怜悯（B）或感谢（C），而是一种说服和鼓励（persuasion），劝作者接纳自己的过去。
27. A. Mason's encouraging words.
解析：作者态度转变的关键转折点是与 Mason 的对话。Mason 的话让他“felt like I could finally breathe”（感觉终于能呼吸了），给予了他正视并接纳自己秘密的勇气。老师的指导（D）是过程，课堂上的朗读（C）是结果，而 Mason 的鼓励是直接原因。
C：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了看电影故事对孩子的积极作用。
28. 细节理解题。根据第二段“The story follows the “hero’s journey” —a classical narrative (叙事的) framework, which involves a hero who goes on an adventure, overcomes challenges, and return s changed. So the research team chose this film.(故事遵循“英雄之旅”——一个经典的叙事框架，涉及到一个英雄的冒险，克服挑战，并改变回来。所以研究小组选择了这部电影)”可知，研究人员选择这部电影是因为该电影采用了一种经典的叙事结构。故选D。
29.推理判断题。根据第二段“The researchers contacted children between 4 and 15years old after they watched the Disney film Inside Out.(研究人员在观看了迪士尼电影《头脑特工队》后，联系了4至15岁的儿童)”和第三段“The research team asked mostly open-ended questions to encourage the children to share their thoughts, including the key question: “Was there a part of the movie you had to think about?”(为了鼓励孩子们分享他们的想法，研究小组问了很多开放式的问题，其中包括一个关键问题：“电影中有你必须思考的部分吗？”)”可知，研究人员是通过采访的方式得出结论的。故选A。
30. 细节理解题。根据第三段“The research team asked mostly open-ended questions to encourage the children to share their thoughts, including the key question: “Was there a part of the movie you had to think about?”(为了鼓励孩子们分享他们的想法，研究小组问了很多开放式的问题，其中包括一个关键问题：“电影中有你必须思考的部分吗？”)”可知，孩子们需要发表自己对电影的看法。故选C。
31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Altogether, stories in movies can be a quick way for children to gain life experience and wisdom.(总之，电影中的故事可以让孩子们快速获得生活经验和智慧)”可知，研究发现，电影故事能加速孩子们思想的成熟。故选B。
D: 这是一篇议论文。文章主要通过实例介绍了人工智能可能不会抢走人类的很多工作。
32．推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“Alorica, a company in Irvine, California, which runs customer-service centers around the world, has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) translation tool that lets its workers talk with customers who speak 200 different languages and 75 dialects. (Alorica是一家位于加利福尼亚州尔湾的公司，在世界各地设有客户服务中心，该公司推出了一种人工智能（AI）翻译工具，可以让员工与说200种不同语言和75种方言的客户交谈)”可知，这种人工智能翻译工具有强大的力量，可以让员工与说200种不同语言和75种方言的客户交谈，并列举了下文与香港客户交谈的例子。由此推知，作者想通过第一段中的例子告诉我们人工智能的力量。故选A项。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Consider Suumit Shah, an Indian businessman who caused an uproar last year by saying that he had replaced 90% of his customer support staff with a chatbot named Lina. The move at Shah’s company, Dukaan, which helps customers set up e-commerce sites, reduced the response time to an inquiry from 1 minute, 44 seconds to “instant”. (以印度商人苏米特·沙阿为例，他去年表示，他已经用一个名为Lina的聊天机器人取代了90%的客户支持人员，这引起了轩然大波。沙阿的公司Dukaan帮助客户建立电子商务网站，此举将查询的响应时间从1分44秒缩短到“即时”)”可知，名为Lina的聊天机器人将查询的响应时间从1分44秒缩短到“即时”。由此可知，Lina比其他员工有的优势是能够更快地回应客户。故选B项。

M: My job is so boring. I really don’t like dealing with customers in the front desk.
W: Really? Maybe you should try something new.
M: I don’t know. I’ve always wanted to be an architect, but I’d have to go back to school.
(Text 2)
W: The announcement said my flight will depart from Gate 30 instead of 20. Why is my flight number not on the screen at Gate 30? It will depart in 35 minutes.
M: You must have missed the second announcement. Please ignore the gate change. It was an error.
(Text 3)
M: We’re moving very slowly again now. I’m going to miss my meeting if we don’t speed up soon.
W: Yes, we seem to be late most days at the moment.
(Text 4)
W: How about going out for a meal on your birthday?
M: Just you and me?
W: We can ask some friends. If you fancy staying in, I could cook for us all.
M: A meal out would be great. I’ll ring Anna and Karl.
(Text 5)
M: Do you still have that book I lent you, Mary?
W: It’s just here, Mark. I’m still part-way through reading it. Normally I read science fiction or love stories but this is fascinating!
M: I’m glad you like it. I’m not a fan of horror fiction but I thought it was great.
(Text 6)
W: You took this on the way to the mountain? I can see the village. And I can also feel the beauties of nature. This was the campsite where you were staying?
M: Yes. We wanted to save money because it was high season. So we didn’t book a hotel or live in a villager’s house.
W: Why didn’t you take photos of the mountain you were climbing?
M: I did. I took lots of photos because there was a wonderful view. But unfortunately those were no good.
W: What a pity! Maybe something went wrong with the camera.
(Text 7)
W: Can you tell me which one of these files contains the sales figures? I need them for the meeting tomorrow afternoon.
M: Susan and David have them, but I recommend looking at Susan’s files. I heard she always comes out with a very good analysis of the figures.
W: Great, I’ll go with Susan’s then. Thanks for the help.
M: No problem. By the way, what time does the meeting start? I guess I’ll have to attend, too.

W: Hi Tony! I didn’t expect to meet you here. How’s it going?
M: Fine, thanks. Well, I just read about it in the local paper. I thought it sounded interesting.
W: Me too. From the review, I didn’t expect to be able to get a table.
M: Me neither, but if you look at these prices, you can see why people lost interest.
W: You don’t say. It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me. And look over there, that’s Brett Flick. It’s not every day you can say you spent the evening in the same place as a Hollywood star.

M: ... I’m speaking to Fiona Josephs, who’s written a book about a woman called Beatrice Cadbury. Fiona, why did you want to write about her?
W: Well, one day I was reading about a school in the Netherlands. That had been started by a poor married couple and the wife was called Beatrice Cadbury! I discovered she was a member of the famous Cadbury family. I felt puzzled. Why was a rich woman living as a poor person? The answer was so amazing that I decided to write a book.
M: What did you discover?
W: Well, as a child she lived in huge houses and was educated at the best schools. She had a very comfortable life. But Beatrice grew up wanting to make society a better place. She married a man from the Netherlands. While she was in the Netherlands, she decided she didn’t want to receive any more money from the Cadbury business. She told her brother, who was running the company, that he should give her share of the money to the factory workers instead.
M: And then what happened?
W: Well, she even invited poor people to live in her house. When it became too crowded, she and her family had to live in a tent.
M: Oh, a great woman!
