I have always been passionate about art, but with children to feed and educate, pursuing it seemed impossible. At 83, I
finally registered for art school. Born in 1933, I led a life marked by family struggles but also resilience (适应力). I studied
mechanical engineering and later management, becoming an associate professor at business school, where I now hold emeritus
(荣誉退休的) status.
About ten years ago, after my wife fell ill with Alzheimer’s and required care, I turned to painting. Determined to take this
new path seriously, I applied to an art programme in Barcelona, insisting on painting despite advice to study art history.
Balancing my studies with work, it took me seven years to complete the four-year course, graduating last year at the age of 90.
Returning to school was a challenge; everything had changed since my earlier education. Most of my classmates were in
their 20s, but they welcomed me warmly, often seeking my advice due to my life experience. I encountered some resistance
from a couple of teachers early on, but I kept going.
The first two years focused on flowers, still lifes, and landscapes, before we explored abstraction, which I enjoy most. I
believe that talent comes from hard work; sometimes I feel stuck, but I push through. My artistic influences include Spanish
painters like Francisco de Zurbarán and Joaquín Sorolla, and while I appreciate beauty, I value goodness and truth even more.
I create abstract landscapes from memory, expressing my emotions through colour. I paint primarily on weekends and
during holidays. While I don’t plan to exhibit extensively, my work was displayed in a small village for six months, though it
received little attention.
After a lifetime in engineering and education, I may not fully identify as an artist, but I now have the recognition that
supports my journey into art.
24. Why did the author decide to pursue art at 83?
A. To find cures for Alzheimer’s. B. To change his career path.
C. To pursue his passion for art. D. To support his big family.
25. How did the author’s classmates react to him?A. They enjoyed his company. B. They tended to ignore him.
C. They inspired him to go on. D. They resisted his presence.
26. Which best describes the author’s art journey?
A. Eventful. B. Romantic. C. Casual. D. Challenging.
27. What would be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Struggle of Old Artists. B. From Engineering to Art.
C. The Value of Art Education. D. A Lifetime of Art Pursuit.

Travel has long been celebrated for its ability to overpass different countries, connect people from diverse backgrounds.
Certain destinations may hold a special appeal to different people. For example, someone who values adventure and outdoor
activities may be more likely to visit destinations known for their natural landscapes and outdoor amusement opportunities. On
the other hand, someone with a strong love for history may be drawn to destinations with rich history, tradition, and cultural
diversity.
Portugal belongs to the latter. Tourism in this country plays a crucial role in promoting cross-cultural understanding and
building meaningful connections between travelers and local communities. As travelers immerse (沉浸) themselves in new
experiences, engage with local communities, and step outside their comfort zones, they gain a deeper appreciation for the
complexities of different cultures and perspectives.
Cultural exchange here is not just a concept — it is a lived experience that enriches the lives of both travelers and locals.
From participating in traditional festivals and cooking experiences to learning age-old customs, travelers have countless
opportunities to break down cultural barriers and connect with Portuguese culture on a personal level.
In Portugal, tourism has become a chance for amplifying diverse voices and stories that might otherwise go unheard.
Through initiatives such as community-based tourism projects and storytelling workshops, travelers can engage with local
communities in meaningful ways, promoting mutual (相互的) respect.
With the European Structural and Investment funds (ESIF) support, Portugal is building roads, expanding airports, and
improving public transportation systems, making it easier for tourists to explore beyond popular cities like Lisbon and Porto.
These improvements are vital for unlocking the potential of lesser-known regions, allowing visitors to experience the diverse
landscapes and rich cultural heritage found throughout the countryside. This ensures that all regions of Portugal can share in the
benefits of a booming tourism, attracting a broader audience of travelers eager to discover new destinations.
28. What makes Portugal special in terms of tourism characteristics?
A. Its cross-cultural location. B. Its diverse cultural heritage.
C. Its places for entertainment. D. Its adventurous routes.
9. How can tourists deepen their cross-cultural understanding with locals in Portugal?A By preserving Portugal’s cultural heritage.
B. By focusing on visiting local landmarks.
C. By providing economic benefits to communities.
D. By joining in community-based tourism activities.
30. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “amplifying” in paragraph 4?
A. Increasing. B. Transforming. C. Evaluating. D. Labelling.
31. What’s the main purpose for Portugal’s starting up large-scale transportation construction?
A. To improve the services of popular cities.
B. To offer more tourist destinations for the locals.
C. To attract more tourists to explore its countryside.
D. To bridge the gap between the rich and the poor.

Last Friday, a special concert took place at the National Theater of Korea. It included five different pieces of music. Two
were conducted by a robot called EveR 6, and two were conducted by Soo-Yeoul Choi, who leads the Busan Harmonic
Orchestra (管弦乐队). Both conductors worked together on the final piece.
EveR 6 is a robot built by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology. It's about as tall as a person, and has a human-like
face that can show emotions. It has joints in its neck, shoulders, elbows, and wrists. As a result, it can move its arms quickly
and smoothly in many different directions.
But EveR 6 doesn't think on its own like some advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs. Instead, it has a limited
group of movements that it has been trained to perform. To make these movements as natural as possible, EveR 6's movements
are based on motions of real human conductors. When EveR 6 swung its baton (指挥棒) for the first time, a gong (锣) rang out.
Every movement of the robot's arms brought more instruments into the mix, and the orchestra's music grew louder and more
exciting.
Mr. Choi was impressed with the way EveR 6 moved. “The robot was able to present such detailed moves much better
than I had imagined,” he said. But the robot still is not nearly ready to replace a human conductor. Its greatest weakness is that
it can't hear. “Some people think that conducting is just a combination of hand waving and keeping the beat,” said Mr. Choi.
“But a good conductor needs to listen to the orchestra, so that he or she can correct and encourage the orchestra as it plays.”
Mr. Choi said that once EveR 6 started, “the musicians had no choice but to follow its beats.” He said this created a
situation where “the performers have to communicate and 'sense' each other to follow the correct beats.”
Mr. Choi doesn't think robots are likely to replace human conductors. But he believes robots could be helpful in situations
like practice sessions where the same thing needs to be repeated many times.
32. What is the main disadvantage of EveR 6?A. It cannot keep the beat steady. B. Its movements are not so natural.
C. It cannot show emotions like humans. D. It lacks the ability of thinking independently.
33. What did the author mean by saying that "the musicians had no choice but to follow its beats"?
A. The robot is programmed with correct beats. B. The musicians are not allowed to communicate.
C. The robot cannot interact with the musicians. D. The robot is trained to be strict with the performers.
34. What is Mr. Choi's attitude toward EveR 6?
A. Negative. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?
A. Robot EveR 6 conducts an orchestra. B. A competition between human and robot.
C. The power of AI robot technology. D. Revive orchestral performances in Korea.

根据短文内容,从短文后选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项是多余选项。
Parenting is a constant balancing act. We want to teach our children important life lessons, while also maintaining
harmony at home and avoiding unnecessary conflicts. ____36____
Recently, my 13-year-old daughter asked me to buy her a $28 phone case. Her old one wasn’t broken or worn out; she was
just bored of it. _____37_____ However, saying “no” in moments like this isn’t easy. The request felt small, but I knew there
was a bigger lesson to teach. It’s about teaching our children to think critically about their spending. At the same time, we don’t
want to come across as overly strict or dismissive of their feelings.
In this case, I realized my daughter’s request wasn’t just about the phone case; it was about her desire for something new,
trendy, and exciting. _____38_____ After all, to a 13-year-old, a new phone case might feel like a big deal, a way to express
themselves or fit in with their friends. So how do we find the middle ground?
Instead of shutting down the conversation, I used it as an opportunity to talk about wants and needs. I explained that we
must prioritize what’s essential over impulse (冲动) purchases. _____39_____ I also acknowledged her feelings. “I get it,” I
told her. Sometimes we just want something new because it feels exciting. This softened the conversation and made her more
willing to listen. Instead of a flat-out “no”, I suggested a compromise (妥协). I offered her three options: earn it, wait it out or
explore alternatives.
____40____ It was about guiding my daughter toward better decision-making without damaging our relationship.
A. But I didn’t stop there.
B. For me, it was a firm no.
C. That conversation wasn’t just about a phone case.
D. I promoted the habit of saving for things she wanted.
E. It felt important to her, even if it seemed unnecessary to me.F. This balancing act can be tricky, especially when parenting teens.
G. Sometimes, the most valuable lessons aren’t about the money at all.

Last summer, I joined a volunteer program in a rural African village. I was ____41____ to teach English and build
friendships. My first week was filled with ____42____ — I taught children basic phrases, played games, and even learned a
few words in their local language. ____43____, reality hit hard soon.
One morning, a storm flooded the village’s only classroom, ____44____ textbooks and chairs. The villagers, struggling
with poverty, had no money to repair it. My heart ____45____ — how could I continue teaching without resources?
That night, I lay awake, brainstorming ____46____. Then I remembered my phone’s flashlight app. “We can hold classes
under the stars!” I suggested. The villagers were ____47____, but anyway, we cleared a patch (小块) of land, borrowed chairs
from neighbors, and used my phone’s light to ____48____ vocabulary words onto a white sheet. The outdoor classes worked
surprisingly ____49____. Children laughed as they traced letters in the dirt, and parents joined, ____50____ about the “glowing
lessons”. But trouble struck again when my phone ____51____ mid-lesson. Silence fell. A boy named Kofi suddenly stood up,
____52____ a small solar lantern he’d made from scrap (碎片) metal. “Use this,” he said proudly. Over the next weeks, Kofi
and other kids ____53____ more lanterns, and our “night school” thrived (蓬勃发展). By the end of the program, the

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。
I am a high school student, and I’ve always been shy and quiet. Speaking up, especially in front of my classmates, has
always been difficult for me. In class, I tend to avoid the teacher’s look and rarely volunteer answers. I find myself more
comfortable observing from the sidelines, quietly taking notes and participating only when absolutely necessary.
So when our teacher assigned a group project to create a mind map (思维导图) for a travel journal, I felt completely lost.
It seemed like a huge task, and I had no idea where to begin. The thought of working with a group and contributing my ideas
was difficult.
We were supposed to work in groups of four, and I wasn’t sure if I could contribute enough to make it a success. I was
stressed by the idea of cooperating with others, especially since I wasn’t sure whether I had the creative skills they would
expect for something like a mind map.
My friend Alice noticed my hesitation and immediately invited me to join her group. She said, “You should join Chris,
Ryan, and me. You’re so creative, and I know that you’ll bring something great to the table.” She even mentioned how I had
helped her before by creating small stories to memorize words, and how my creativity always surprised her.
I was touched by her faith in me, but despite her encouragement, I was still unsure. I didn’t feel confident about my ability
to contribute to the group, especially when it came to something as creative as a mind map. I feared that my ideas might not be
good enough or that I would let the team down. The thought of standing out in front of everyone with my contributions felt
challenging. But Alice insisted, gently encouraging me to give it a try, promising me that we could work together and that my
creativity would be valuable.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 个左右;

After a bit of hesitation, I finally agreed to join.

65 Dear Tom,
I’m sorry to tell you we need to cancel our camping plan this Sunday. The weather forecast says there will probably be a
heavy storm that day. It’s really dangerous to camp in such bad weather.
How about changing our plan? We could go to the new science museum downtown. I heard there are many interesting
exhibits there. Or we can stay at my home, watch movies and make snacks together. Let me know which one you prefer.
Yours,
Li Hua
67 After a bit of hesitation, I finally agreed to join. Alice, Chris, and Ryan were welcoming, and we dove into the project. As
we brainstormed, I felt more confident. Initially, I was hesitant to speak up, but Alice’s encouragement helped me push
through. I suggested ideas for the mind map, including how to organize the sections. The others liked my suggestions, and I
realized I had more to contribute. By the end, we had a solid plan, and I felt proud. When our teacher announced we would
present, Alice turned to me and said, “You should present with me. You’ve done great work.” Despite my nervousness, I
agreed, knowing with Alice by my side, I could manage the presentation.
The next class, Alice and I presented our group’s mind map to the class. As she confidently explained how we had
organized our ideas, I felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. When it was my turn, I took a deep breath and began
explaining the sections I had worked on, focusing on using a timeline to connect the events in the travel journal. Alice
highlighted my contributions, emphasizing that the creative idea was mine. The class nodded in approval, and our teachersmiled, offering positive feedback. Hearing the praise, I felt a rush of pride and relief. It wasn’t just about the project — it was
about stepping out of my comfort zone and realizing I had something valuable to offer, something I had never fully recognized
