They now call it “Batesian mimicry” — the amazing skill for survival I first saw in
the whispering green of the Amazon. I am Henry Walter Bates. My story began not with
butterflies, but as the eldest son of a stocking (长袜) maker in Leicester. Yet, a boy’s passion
for collecting insects and an important meeting with Alfred Russel Wallace, Darwin’s future co-
theorist, sent me toward what he called “the great engine of change” in the tropics.
英语试卷 A 第 2 页（共 11 页）For eleven years, the Amazon was my home, my school, and my proving ground. I faced
constant dangers, from disease-carrying mosquitoes and snakes to flooding rains. I was struck
down by both yellow fever and malaria. My routine was strict mornings collecting, afternoons
reading and preparing my finds. I was usually in bed by nine. My field journals, filled with
detailed drawings and notes in dark ink, were my defense against the dampness and insects. I
learned the local languages and customs, for without the crucial guidance of its people, I
would have been completely lost in that vast wilderness.
It was a time of extraordinary variety. I brought back over 14,000 kinds of insects — 8,000
new to science. But the real wonder was not the count, but a pattern I noticed. It started with a
puzzle: why could slow-flying butterflies like the Heliconius escape birds? Later I discovered they
were poisonous and bitter-tasting. Then the deeper truth emerged: harmless Dismorphia had
evolved to copy the bright warning colours of the Heliconius. These mimics, avoided by their
natural enemies, survived to pass on their colours. Here was evolution by natural selection, written
plainly on butterfly wings.
I published my paper in 1862, three years after Darwin’s On the Origin of Species. That this
“mimicry”, discovered in remote jungles, could offer timely field support for his great theory
remains my proudest achievement. They say I “wrote the book” on field study. I simply followed
my fascination, one find at a time, from my father’s Leicester workshop into the heart of nature’s
grandest design.
24 ．Who was Henry Walter Bates?
A. A stocking maker from Leicester. B. Darwin’s co-theorist on evolution.
C. A scientist who studied insects. D. A writer documenting tropical life.
25 ．What did Bates consider was essential to his life and work in the Amazon?
A. Keeping a strict daily schedule. B. Getting assistance from the locals.
C. Collecting and studying samples. D. Staying healthy in the rainforest.
26 ．What was the pattern Bates discovered?
A. Birds avoided eating bitter-tasting insects.
B. Slow-flying butterflies escaped birds ’ attack.
C. The bright colours of butterflies signalled danger.
D. Harmless species copied the look of poisonous ones.
27 ．Which of the following best describes Bates?
A. Brave and passionate. B. Strict and humble.
C. Ambitious and sociable. D. Independent and proud.
英语试卷 A 第 3 页（共 11 页）C
Survey data shows that most freshmen regularly use generative AI, often treating it as “an
intellectual partner”, Professor John Hampson reported at a faculty (全体教师) meeting in Elite
Technology University (ETU). Students most commonly use it to understand difficult concepts,
search, generate study materials, and edit writing. Interestingly, the lowest reported use is for
generating text.
Meanwhile, students are using faculty office hours and the speaking and writing centers less.
In last year’s computer science courses, scores on problem sets increased, yet exam scores declined
“This is concerning,” noted Hampson. “If they were using AI as a study pal, they weren’t
absorbing as much as they might think.”
Students want clearer AI policies, and Hampson advised faculty to carefully consider and
share what level of use they permit, the reasoning behind it, how to cite use of AI, and examples
of what’s permissible. He also encouraged department-wide discussions to best prepare students
for a workplace where they will need to know how to write or code with its assistance. “I also
believe that students need to learn to write and code unaided, to develop critical thinking skills,
their agency as citizens, and also meaning — making the ideas that help them understand their
own lives,” he added.
Some professors expressed concerns about how AI use is impacting students ’ mental
health and learning. Professor George Wilson noted that students are often highly competitive,
and “it’s important to create rules so that competition leads to healthy behaviors that make
them better educated people.” While some suggested more one-on-one time with students,
others noted that budget restrictions would make that difficult.
Professor Poly Burnett observed that lecture attendance is also down. She urged faculty to
make lectures something students genuinely want to attend. She also noted that many teachers are
making small changes, in hopes of continuing teaching as they’ve previously taught. “We
actually have to see this less as a problem and more as an opportunity,” Burnett suggested. “How
can ETU lead in rethinking how we teach, how we learn … and have our students be benefiting
and being at the leading edge of that?”
28 ．What does the author imply about the survey findings by using “interestingly” in paragraph
1?
A. They indicate a promising trend. B. They contradict a common assumption.
C. They capture the faculty’s interest. D. They require further investigation.
英语试卷 A 第 4 页（共 11 页）29 ．Which of the following changes is mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. Students are interacting more with others.
B. Al use has led to better learning outcomes.
C. Exam scores rose while homework scores fell.
D. Students are using off-line academic services less.
30 ．Why does Hampson emphasize students writing and coding without AI?
A. To clarify acceptable uses of AI in coursework.
B. To prepare students for future workplace demands.
C. To ensure students develop essential human capacities.
D. To improve students’ long-term academic performance.
31 ．What is Burnett’s suggestion to the faculty?
A. Make lectures more entertaining. B. Let students take the leading role.
C. Take the chance to reform education. D. Adjust teaching slightly to AI challenges.
D
Sound travels as vibrations (振动) through the air. Conventional microphones function by
picking up these vibrations. Scientists wondered if they could make microphones that see those
vibrations rather than hear them. Now researchers in China have built such a device.
Led by physicist Yao Xuri from Beijing Institute of Technology, the team has built a device
that photographs the tiny, imperceptible vibrations that sound waves generate on objects.
According to Yao, “This technique enables sound detection using everyday items under natural
lighting.”
This is hardly the first attempt to make a microphone that works with light. Alexander
Graham Bell built one back in 1880. He called it a photophone. It operated by using sound waves
to deform a mirror, causing reflected light to flash along with the sound. These flashes were
then changed back into sound. Modern attempts have been trying to copy this, using high-
speed cameras or precise lasers (激光), but such systems are often complex and costly.
The Chinese team has adopted an alternative approach: single-pixel ( 单像素) imaging.
“Unlike ordinary cameras which rely on millions of sensors, single-pixel imaging uses just one,”
Yao noted. It scans a scene to collect visual data, which is then processed by computers to
reconstruct an image. Through this technique, Yao’s team detected how sound waves had shaken a
paper card or leaf. A computer then decoded the data into audible sound.
英语试卷 A 第 5 页（共 11 页）The device successfully captured spoken numbers in both Chinese and English and decoded
an excerpt from Beethoven’s Für Elise. “This method creates a relatively small amount of data,
making it easy to store or upload,” Yao noted. The team is refining the device’s capacity to detect
human heartbeat and heart rate, a development that could enable non-contact patient monitoring in
medical settings.
Currently, the technology only works from about half a meter away, and detecting sound
in noisy environments remains a key challenge. That will take more advanced technology
and extensive field testing. But if they succeed, we might not just listen to the world around us
— we might watch it speak.
32 ．The underlined word “imperceptible” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. inaudible B. inaccessible C. unpredictable D. unnoticeable
33 ．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Research background. B. Study design.
C. Technical approaches. D. Key challenges.
34 ．How does the single-pixel imaging device differ from ordinary cameras?
A. It works at a super high speed. B. It processes data with a computer.
C. It uses precise lasers to scan scenes. D. It collects data with only one sensor.
35 ．What is the author’s attitude towards the future of the technology?
A. Expectant. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Uncertain.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为
多余选项。
Creative expression, particularly through learning and making music, greatly improves well-
being and meaning in later life, promoting mental, emotional, and even physical health as people
age.
For older adults, activities like attending a songwriting workshop or joining a chorus go
beyond mere leisure. They become a pathway to what Aristotle called “eudaemonia”, a life well-
lived. 36
Music offers a unique way for such meaningfulness, which often grows from deep
connection. Whether it is the dedication to mastering an instrument, the excitement of creating
music on the spot, or the sweetness of listening to a familiar tune, older adults do not engage in
music as lone individuals. 37
英语试卷 A 第 6 页（共 11 页）Such meaningful involvement can even turn musical tools — a piano, a violin, or a digital
device — into extensions ofthe person. 38 This reflects the saying, “You are what you
do.” Some famous musicians travel with their own instruments, which proves how deeply music
can shape personal identity.
39 As dancer Twyla Tharp remarked, “Art is the only way to run away without
leaving home.” The emotional uplift indirectly supports health by boosting memory, lowering
stress, and strengthening social ties — all crucial for aging well.
Deep engagement in music adds meaning to later life, bringing happiness through creativity
and commitment. 40 Actually, music enriches lives at every age, so promoting creative
expression through it should be a central aim in education and enrichment for everyone.
A. It’s mostly the result of external entertainment.
B. Becoming a “musician” is thus a worthy goal for older adults.
C. They bond with others, culture, and their own growing sense of self.
D. The more often one plays an instrument, the greater joy one may gain.
E. Creative musical experience also provides an escape from daily routines.
F. With skill and regular practice, the instrument becomes part ofwho one is.
G. This is not brief pleasure, but lasting happiness that comes from living meaningfully.

Distant pleasant music floated above the Sydney Opera House stage. Soft light gradually
revealed motionless figures at work, as if lifted 56 the pages of a Ming-dynasty book.
Slowly they began to move. Accompanied by the soft sound of page turning and the gentle flow
of water, their graceful 57 (gesture) formed a living picture of labour.
This breathtaking opening of the dance drama Tiangong Kaiwu pulled me 58
(instant) into that world of ancient creation. Through 59 (express) movement, the
performance conveyed the book’s core message — 60 (value) the skills passed down
by countless unknown labourers and the power of practical tools. The beautiful scenes of golden
fields and shiny silk made me feel the deep bond between humanity and nature.
英语试卷 A 第 8 页（共 11 页）The most moving moment came 61 Song Yingxing took off his official robe (官
袍) and stepped into a “field” formed by the other dancers. All motion ceased; only his figure
remained, arms stretched upward, silent yet full of strength. At that instant, history 62 (it)
seemed to hold its breath.
As I left the theatre I overheard a visitor say, “This is beauty that 63 (go) beyond
borders.” His words deepened my belief: art 64 (root) in a culture’s finest
traditions possesses a timeless power to move anyone. This was more than 65 ancient
book brought to life — it was a celebration of Chinese wisdom and its spirit of sharing with the
world.

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。
Andy stared at the white envelope on his desk. The Student Affairs Office logo in the
corner made his stomach sink. He opened it slowly.
Health and Safety Warning.
Fine (罚款): $300.
英语试卷 A 第 9 页（共 11 页）Three hundred dollars — his entire summer earnings, meant for books and a winter coat. Now
gone, all because of a messy room!
Andy was a quiet international student who kept his side of the dorm perfectly organized.
For him, neatness brought calm and control. His roommate, Eric, was the opposite: he lived in
what could only be described as a happy mess. Clothes piled on his chair empty snack bags
collected on the floor, and the shared waste bin always overflowed. But Eric was kind — he’d
shown Andy around campus, helped with his homework, and lifted his spirits when he was
homesick.
Andy was grateful. He never complained. He didn’t want to start a fight. So, he’d sigh and
quietly take out the garbage, thinking it was a small price for such a good friend. But he’d been
home for two weeks — and returned to this. Now, holding the letter, he felt it was a big mistake.
“I’ve been cleaning up his mess, and I get fined too?” he thought in frustration. This wasn’t fair.
His usual “avoid trouble” plan had failed.
Just then, the door flew open. “Andy! You won’t believe the game today …” Eric’s
energetic entry stopped short. “Whoa. You look pale as a sheet. What’s wrong?”
Without a word, Andy held out the warning letter. Eric took it, his smile fading as he read.
“Oh, no. A fine? Three hundred? I’m … I’m really sorry.” He looked from the letter to the pile of
pizza boxes in the corner, which he’d meant to throw out for days, then to Andy’s spotless desk.
Real guilt washed over his face. “I’ve been completely careless about this. I’m sorry Andy …”
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。
“It’s okay,” Andy said quietly, “but let’s clean it together now.”
They both knew that one - time cleaning was not enough — they needed rules.

Dear Mark,
Hope this email finds you well. I 'm writing to share my wonderful experience at
our school' s fun sports meeting held last Sunday on the school playground.
It was quite different from serious sports competitions. There were many interesting
events like three-legged race, fun relay and rope skipping. I joined the three-legged race
英语试卷 A 第 11 页（共 11 页）with my classmate. We tied our legs together and ran as fast as we could, stumbling a few
times and laughing loudly. Finally,we won the second prize, which made us so excited!
This sports meeting not only brought me a lot of joy but also taught me the importance of
teamwork.I t was a great break from my busy study and made me closer to my classmates.I
really wish you could have been there to enjoy the fun with us. Looking forward to hearing
about your recent life soon. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

"It's okay,"Andy said quietly,"but let's clean it together now." Eric nodded heavily,
his face filled with guilt. He immediately grabbed a garbage bag and bent down to
pick up the pizza boxes and snack bags on the floor. Andy took a broom and swept the
crumbs into a dustpan,while Eric wiped the sticky table and folded the messy clothes
on the chair. They didn't say much while cleaning, but the awkwardness in the air
gradually faded away. After an hour of hard work , the dorm room was tidy and clean
again,just like how Andy always kept his side.
They both knew that one-time cleaning was not enough-they needed rules. So they
sat down at the clean desk and made a simple dorm rule list together.First,each of
them had to clean their own area every day. Second,t hey would take turns to take out
the shared garbage and wipe the table.Third. no food boxes or snacks could be left in the room
for more than a day. Eric wrote down the rules and taped them on the wall, promising
to follow them strictly. He also insisted on paying the 300-dollar fine all by himself.
Andy smiled and shook his head, saying they were roommates and would face it
together. From then on, their dorm always stayed clean, and their friendship became
even stronger.
