二、阅读理解
Most of the pollution impacting our waterways originates in our very own communities, due to improper
trash disposal. And, 80% of our litter can actually be found on our coastlines. When trash isn’t disposed of
correctly, it can be carried by rainwater into storm drains and eventually into rivers, lakes, and oceans, where it
pollutes water, harms wildlife, and disrupts ecosystems.
But YOU have the power to do something about it!
By spreading the word about the importance of proper trash disposal, you can set off a chain reaction that
builds a lasting culture of care in your community, and motivates your peers to keep the ball rolling.
Create a Ripple Effect
Create a Public Service Announcement to educate your peers about how safe and responsible trash disposal
in your community can create long-lasting change in protecting our waterways.
Then share and promote your PSA to your squad, so they can advertise it and vote it as their favorite! Also
check out the Making Waves Gallery for inspiration. By creating and submitting your very own Ripple Effect PSA,
you’ll become qualified for the opportunity to earn a $250 scholarship.
21．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To explain water pollution.
B．To call for action (create a PSA).
C．To compare disposal methods.
D．To advertise a scholarship program.
22．According to the passage, what happens to improperly disposed trash eventually?
A．Get recycled.
B．Improve water quality.
C．Pollute waterways.
D．Be taken to landfills regularly.
23．What does the author suggest readers do to “create a ripple effect”?
A．Donate money.
B．Make and share a PSA．
C．Collect litter weekly.
D．Dispose trash properly yourself.
Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) is defined as an unexpected, natural death caused by the sudden loss of heart
function, typically occurring within one hour of symptom onset. It is crucial to distinguish SCD from a heart attack.
A heart attack is usually a “plumbing problem” — most often a coronary artery (冠状动脉) blockage that cuts off
the heart muscle of oxygen. In contrast, SCD is primarily an “electrical problem” — a sudden, catastrophic
malfunction in the heart’s electrical system that triggers a deadly abnormal rhythm.
The most common and immediate cause of SCD is a dangerous arrhythmia called ventricular fibrillation
(VF). During VF, the heart’s lower chambers (心室) tremble wildly and fast instead of contracting rhythmically.
This makes the heart unable to pump blood effectively, stopping circulation to the brain and vital organs. The
affected person loses consciousness within seconds, and without intervention, death follows within minutes.
While individuals with known heart conditions — such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, or prior
heart attacks — are at increased risk, SCD is not limited to the elderly. A large part of victims are seemingly healthy
young adults, where the cause is often an undiagnosed genetic heart condition (e.g., hypertrophic cardiomyopathy)
or a structural abnormality. Intense physical exercise, extreme emotional stress, or severe electrolyte imbalances
can sometimes act as triggering events in at-risk individuals.
Time is the most critical determinant of survival. Permanent brain damage begins after just 4-6 minutes
without oxygen. If you witness a sudden collapse:
*Check for responsiveness and absence of normal breathing.
*Call emergency services immediately to summon professional help and an AED．
*Start CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) without delay. Push hard and fast on the center of the chest at a
rate of 100-120 compressions per minute. Effective CPR circulates blood by hand, buying crucial time.
*Use an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) as soon as possible. The device analyzes the heart rhythm
and, if it detects VF, delivers a shock to restore a normal, organized beat.
Survival rates drop by 7-10% for every minute without CPR and defibrillation. Immediate bystander action
can double or triple the victim’s chance of survival, making public awareness and training in basic life support very
important.
24．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To compare heart diseases.
B．To discuss the history of CPR.
C．To explain SCD and its first aid.
D．To promote new heart treatments.
25．The underlined word “arrhythmia” in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.
A．heart attack.
B．chest pain.
C．high blood pressure.
D．irregular heartbeat.
26．Why does the author mention “4–6 minutes”?
A．To describe the time needed to find an AED．
B．To explain how long it takes to call an ambulance.
C．To mark the gap between collapse and permanent injuries.
D．To stress the urgency of restoring Oxygen supply to the brain.
27．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．The Deadly Killer: SCD．
B．A Guide to Saving a Life.
C．SCD: Not a Heart Attack.
D．Every Second Counts in a Collapse.
A funny fake job advertisement recently called for a “killswitch engineer” for OpenAI. The role involved
turning off servers or even throwing a bucket of water on them “if AI attacks us.” While such dark humor reflects
widespread public anxiety about job losses due to the rise of artificial intelligence agents, the reality is more
complex. AI is not just a job destroyer; it is actively creating a range of brand-new jobs that require uniquely human
skills.
The change of the data annotator’s (数据标注员) role is a prime example. Once seen as low-paid part-time
workers performing repetitive tasks like image tagging, these positions are being transformed. As AI models grow
more advanced, experts in subjects such as finance, law, and medicine have increasingly enlisted to help train these
systems. Their deep professional knowledge is key to teaching AI complex, real-world reasoning. This shift is
highly valued in the market. For instance, Mercor, a platform connecting such experts with AI projects, has reached
a value of $10 billion, with specialists reportedly earning $90 an hour on average.
Once an AI model is trained, teams of so-called Forward-Deployed Engineers (FDEs) are needed to put it
into organization. An FDE acts as a hybrid of developer, consultant, and salesperson. They work on-site with clients
to customize AI tools to fit business needs and get them running. The demand for FDEs is exploding. Garry Tan,
the boss of YCombinator, a startup factory, said that job postings for FDEs among his companies skyrocketed from
just 4 last year to 63 currently.
As AI agents become more common, their creators must understand the real-world situations where the AI
will be used. For example, developers at a self-driving car company like Waymo need to know not just how to
code, but also how humans drive and interact on the road.
In conclusion, while AI automation poses challenges, it is also fostering new, high-value career paths. The
future job market will likely prize the very human skills that AI cannot easily replicate: expert judgment, cross-
domain understanding, and the ability to bridge the gap between technology and complex human environments.
28．Why is the “killswitch engineer” ad mentioned in paragraph 1?
A．To discuss AI safety measures.
B．To criticize an irresponsible ad.
C．To describe a new AI-related job.
D．To introduce a funny example of people’s AI fear.
29．What can be inferred about the current demand for experts in training AI models?
A．It is declining due to automation.
B．It is highly valued and well-paid.
C．It is mainly for simple data tagging tasks.
D．It is limited to the field of computer science.
30．Why are FDEs described as a “hybrid” role in paragraph 3?
A．They have multi-functional skills.
B．They work for multiple clients at once.
C．They create new AI models from scratch.
D．They replace developers and salespeople.
31．What is the author’s overall attitude towards the impact of AI on employment?
A．Cautious.
B．Passive.
C．Objective.
D．Indifferent.
Music in the Digital Age
Music has always evolved alongside technology. From tribal drums to vinyl records, every era reshaped how
music was made and shared. 32 It has changed how we create, listen, and even think about music,
impacting artists, businesses, and fans alike.
Before, music was a physical thing. We bought records, tapes, or CDs. Owning an album felt special, and
listening was often a shared family activity. Then came the MP3 and the Internet. Songs became digital files that
could be copied and shared in seconds. Music became portable, personal, and almost free to distribute, but physical
album sales dropped sharply.
33 Services like Spotify and Apple Music let us listen to almost any song anytime, for a monthly fee.
We don’t own the music anymore; we access it. This is incredibly convenient, offering a world of music in our
pockets. However, it also means musicians, especially new ones, earn very little money.
For artists, the digital age is a mix. The good news? 34 You can record a song at home, put it on
platforms like SoundCloud or YouTube, and reach listeners worldwide overnight. Social media helps you build a
fan-base and get direct feedback. The bad news? It’s very crowded online. 35 With millions of songs
uploaded every month, it’s extremely tough for new artists to be noticed and earn a living solely from music.
So, what’s next? Technology won’t stop. AI can now help compose melodies and even write lyrics. 36
But the future may bring more immersive experiences, like virtual concerts. Despite the challenges, one thing is
certain: the connection between music and technology will only grow stronger, bringing new sounds and
experiences.
A．The result is that standing out is harder than ever.
B．But the digital age has brought the biggest changes of all.
C．However, the sound quality of streaming music is often poor.
D．In the past, musicians depended heavily on record companies.
E．Today, listening to music usually means using a streaming service.
F．Some people worry that this will make human musicians less creative.
G．This has made it possible for anyone with talent to become a musician.
三、完形填空
My dad works for a food organization. Recently, I went with him to a community event to help. My task was
simple: give directions and 37 flyers to people. It was hot, and I did my job 38 .
Then I noticed two girls with the same task. They were 39 and cheerful. Instead of waiting, they
40 walked up to people who looked lost. One girl came up to an elderly woman; the other went to a poorly
dressed, 41 man. I saw the first girl talk to the old woman 42 and then give her a warm hug.
The second girl said, “Hello, sir. Can I help you?” She called him “Sir” as if he were 43 ! I was
astonished. Why would she speak to a stranger with such 44 ? She showed compassion. Because she cared,
she made him feel respected. Hearing “Sir,” the man raised his chin, and his tired face 45 . I had never
seen such 46 expressed so freely.
That is what true compassion is: not only seeing a need but also offering 47 warmth. It is giving
people what they need, even when they dare not ask. 48 by their example, I decided to change. When a
little girl 49 me later, I smiled — because I truly cared. Caring gave me happiness and a reason to
persevere to keep going because I could do something to 50 others.
Compassion has since made a 51 in my life. It is the key that unlocks the best in us and lets light
into every room.

七、书面表达
68．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。
“Mom! I’m home!” John rushed in, following the smell of fresh-baked cookies into the kitchen. His mom
was putting cookies on the counter, and the spring sun streamed through the window, with a robin singing outside.
Soon, John’s grandpa Pop-Pop shuffled in. He lived with them after Grandma passed away, and he often
forgot things. When John mentioned their annual fishing trip, his mom smiled and said they needed to do spring
cleaning the next day instead.
The next day, John and his mom cleaned the whole house until it was spotless. Exhausted, his mom pointed
at Pop-Pop’s old chair — faded, worn, and even torn — and said, “This old chair has got to go. We’ll buy him a
new one.”
When they tried to move the chair, Pop-Pop stopped them firmly. “You can’t take my chair,” he said, his
voice trembling. John’s mom argued it was too old, but Pop-Pop refused to let it go. Later, when John asked why,
Pop-Pop shared his memories: he had sat in this chair to propose to Grandma, to hold baby John’s dad, and to find
comfort when he learned Grandma was ill. “This chair is like a friend,” Pop-Pop said.
That night, John’s parents quietly carried the chair to the curb while everyone was asleep, hoping a new chair
would make Pop-Pop happier. The next morning, Pop-Pop stood by the window, tears rolling down his face when
he saw the snow-covered chair outside. Just as the garbage truck arrived, John rushed out to stop it.

（1）续写词数应为150 词左右；

67．Dear Peter,
How is everything going? Knowing that your birthday is around the corner, I would like to wish you happy
birthday! May you be healthy and prosperous in the following year.
I have drawn a Chinese painting named Horse specially for you. As you know, Chinese people use 12
zodiacs to represent the year and we were both born in the year of horse. Viewed as an animal full of energy, horse
is a symbol of strong will and perseverance. So I hope the painting will give you spur and bring you good luck
when you are pursuing your dream.
Actually this painting was sent to you a week ago and it is shown that it will be delivered to you today. I
sincerely hope that you will like it.
Yours,

68．One possible version:
Paragraph 1: He ran outside, “Wait! Don’t take that chair.” He waved his arms wildly, rushing forward to
stand in front of the garbage truck, his shoes crunching on the snow. Turning to his mom who followed closely, he
said anxiously, “This chair matters to Pop-Pop — It carries all of Pop-Pop’s precious memories.” His mom’s face
filled with guilt. She apologized softly, then joined John to lift the chair carefully and carry it back indoors together.
Paragraph 2: Seeing the chair safely back indoors, Mom and John decided to do something for it. They found
some soft cloth and glue, mended the torn part, and polished the faded wood. Pop-Pop watched quietly, his hands
trembling with joy. When it was done, the chair looked warm and tidy. Pop-Pop sat down gently, stroking the
armrest, “Thank you, my dear ones. This chair is not just a chair — it’s our memories.” The spring sun streamed in
again, making the room full of warmth and love.
