（原创题）Many parents dream of their children growing up and seeing the world. But Edith Lemay a mother
of four from Canada, worried her children were running out of time to do that.
When her first child, Mia, was little, she noticed she would bump into things. In 2018, Mia was
diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa(色素性视网膜炎).
“What it does is that the cell in the retina dies over time and they lose their field of vision. There’s a chance
they will go completely blind by midlife,” said Lemay.
The disease is genetic, meaning Lemay’s other kids were at risk. She soon noticed two of her sons, Collin and
Laurent, had the same symptoms. They were soon diagnosed, too.
“Of course it was devastating(令人极为震惊的). And when you have a kid, you always have an
image of what their future is going to be like and all of a sudden, you get that news and you need to
erase that and think it over. And it really is a grieving process,” Lemay said.
Lemay wanted to prepare her kids for what was to come and thought about filling their visual memory. In March,
Lemay, her husband, and her four kids left Canada and embarked on an epic journey, traveling the globe for a whole
year—showing their kids the world, before it is too late.
During their trip Lemay is homeschooling her kids. The family also made a bucket list of fun activities they
want to accomplish, so each kid can see their dreams come true.
Lemay said her kids are not only making visual memories. They’re also learning important life lessons, like
focusing on the positive. “Sometimes they’re tired and there’s frustration. It’s difficult. But with the travel, I want
them to be resilient.”
“I want them to know that any situation that’s hard is temporary, because through their life, they’ll need lots of
resilience,” she said. “They’re going to adapt to a situation with their eyesight and then in a few years later, they’ll
lose a chunk of their eyesights and they will have to readapt and adapt again and fall and get back again,” Lemay
continued.
Many parents want to give their kids the world and this mom did.
24. When was Mia diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa?
A. In 2018.
B. When she was born.
C. When the family started their global trip.
D. When she became completely blind.
25. Which of the following is true about the disease retinitis pigmentosa?
A. It can be cured with proper treatment.
B. It only affects children’s field of vision temporarily.
C. It is not a genetic disease.
D. It may lead to complete blindness by midlife.
26. Which word can best describe Edith Lemay?
A. Helpless.
B. Responsible.
C. Impulsive.
D. Selfish.
27. What can we infer from the passage about Lemay’s kids during the trip?
A. They only gained visual memories of the world.
B. They dropped out of school and stopped learning.
C. They learned to face difficulties with a positive attitude.
D. They complained a lot about the tiring and frustrating journey.

（新热点）（原创题）AI for Everyone: The Rise of Affordable Smart Technology
Artificial intelligence (AI) was once a luxury limited to big tech companies. Building advanced AI models used
to require millions of dollars in computing power and teams of top engineers. But today, a new wave of affordable
AI is changing the game, making this technology accessible to small businesses, schools, and even individual users.
Chinese tech start-up DeepSeek made headlines in 2025 with its open-source AI model. Unlike expensive
competitors, this model delivers similar performance in tasks like coding, math problem-solving, and language
translation—yet it costs only a fraction of the price to develop. The company revealed that training the AI required
less than $6 million in computing resources, which is 10 times cheaper than what major tech giants spend on their
latest systems. This breakthrough has challenged the old idea that only big companies can afford cutting-edge AI.
What’s more, DeepSeek has made the model’s core framework open to the public, allowing developers and researchers
to modify and upgrade it for free, thus speeding up the innovation of AI applications in various fields.
Affordable AI is already making a difference in daily life. In rural schools, AI tutors help students with
personalized learning plans, filling gaps in subjects where teachers are in short supply. Small shops use AI tools to
analyze customer preferences and manage inventory more efficiently, reducing waste and increasing profits. Even
healthcare clinics in remote areas benefit—AI-powered apps can now assist doctors in diagnosing common diseases
by analyzing medical data, enabling timely treatment for patients who live far from big hospitals.
However, this progress comes with questions. Experts warn about potential risks like data privacy and unfair
competition. As more people use AI, protecting personal information becomes increasingly important. There are also
concerns that some jobs might be replaced by automation, especially those involving repetitive manual work. But
most experts agree that the key lies in finding a balance: using AI to improve lives while setting clear rules to guide
its development. Governments around the world are also exploring policies to regulate AI use, ensuring that the
technology serves the public good rather than just a small group of interests.
From expensive laboratory projects to everyday tools, AI has come a long way. As affordable AI continues to
grow, it promises to bring more innovation and convenience to the world—proving that advanced technology doesn’t
have to come with a high price tag.
28. How much did it cost to train DeepSeek’s AI model?
A. Less than $6 million.
B. Exactly $6 million.
C. 10 million dollars.
D. More than $60 million.
29. What does the underlined word "inventory" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. The total amount of money a shop earns
B. The stock of goods a shop has for sale
C. The list of customers a shop serves
D. The rules a shop follows for management
30. Which of the following is a practical use of affordable AI according to the passage?
A. Replacing all teachers in rural schools.
B. Helping big tech companies earn more money.
C. Stopping all data privacy problems.
D. Assisting doctors in diagnosing common diseases.
31. What can we infer from the passage about affordable AI?
A. It has solved all the problems of traditional AI.
B. It is only used by small businesses and schools.
C. It brings both benefits and challenges to society.
D. It will completely replace human workers in the future.

（原创题）Lab-grown chicken is finally making its way onto menus in the United States, a long-
awaited milestone for the food tech industry. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has recently given
official permission for selling cultured (培养的) meat produced by two leading companies, Good Meat and
Upside Foods, marking a significant breakthrough that has been years in the making for the cultured meat industry.
The production process of this innovative meat starts with taking a small sample of chicken cells, which are then
nurtured in a controlled lab environment with nutrient-rich solutions to grow and multiply. These companies
grow these small amounts of chicken cells into edible meat in a controlled lab environment, without the need
for traditional slaughter (屠宰), a key difference from conventional meat production. However, this permission is
currently limited to chicken products; both companies still require additional approval from regulatory authorities to
market cell-cultured beef, pork or seafood to the public.
Concerns have been growing among Americans about traditional meat production in recent years, as its
environmental and ethical drawbacks become more apparent. This conventional method contributes to about 15% of
global carbon emissions, a major factor in climate change, and can encourage the growth of antibiotic-resistant (耐
抗生素的) bacteria due to the overuse of antibiotics in livestock farming. Additionally, it pollutes
waterways with large quantities of animal waste, which contaminates rivers and groundwater supplies. Beyond
environmental issues, the animals themselves often live in cramped cages with relatively short and stressful lives.
“The current methods of traditional meat production are at the root of many environmental and animal welfare issues,”
says Good Meat CEO Josh Tetrick, highlighting the urgent need for more sustainable alternatives.
Despite these concerns, meat remains a significant part of many people’s diets due to deep-rooted cultural,
traditional and nutritional reasons. For many consumers, giving up meat entirely is not a feasible option, which is
where cultured meat companies step in. They position themselves as producers of sustainable and ethically sound
meat, aiming to provide meat lovers with a guilt-free choice that satisfies both their nutritional needs and desire for
tasty food. Unlike plant-based meat substitutes, cultured meat is biologically identical to conventional meat, preserving
the familiar flavor and texture that consumers enjoy.
The production process for lab-grown meat is relatively straightforward in theory, but the main challenge lies in
building sufficient large-scale production facilities to lower costs and scale up output. Both Good Meat and Upside
Foods, now armed with both USDA and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) permissions, can shift their focus to
expanding their production capacities to meet the expected market demand. At the beginning, lab-grown chicken will
only be available at a handful of select high-end restaurants, including Bar Crenn in San Francisco and a restaurant
owned by renowned chef José Andrés in Washington, allowing a small group of consumers to experience the new
product before it becomes more widely accessible.
32. What is a key feature of lab-grown chicken?
A. It’s grown from artificial materials.
B. It originates from cultured chicken cells.
C. It has the advantage of low production costs.
D. It’s preferred for its taste over regular chicken.
33. What is the problem with traditional meat production?
A. It goes against its sustainable practices.
B. It fails to meet consumers’ demand for meat.
C. It has a negative impact on the environment.
D. It leads to overcrowded living conditions for animals.
34. What is the text mainly about?
A. Cultured meat permitted for sale in the US.
B. The technological advancements in cultured meat.
C. The cultural impact of cultured meat on dietary habits.
D. The environmental influence of traditional meat production.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
（新题材）Imagine playing a game of Old Maid with a child. She is about to pick a card. It would cost her the
game. You think about how excited she'd be if she won. So you hint that she might want to select another card. She
does. She wins. You’re both happy. But was letting her win a wise move?
Scientists and children experts have long said losing once in a while helps children build coping skills. It also
helps them learn what the real world is like.
A new study has been done by Amherst College and the University of Virginia. The study looks at 4 and 5-
year-olds. The researchers conducted a series of trials where the children played a game with hidden objects.
Two adults gave clues to the locations of the objects. One adult gave accurate clues. The other gave false ones.
Then, the researchers set up the game so that half of the kids always found the hidden object as the uncontrolled
group. The remaining children played another game in the controlled group. This game was left to chance. They were
more likely to find out the hidden objects if they listened carefully. After all, one adult would give helpful
information.
Afterwards, researchers asked the kids which of the two adults they’d select to help them find more hidden
objects? The kids in the uncontrolled game preferred the adult who gave accurate clues. But those in the controlled
version had no preference.
That means if you always let children win, they might not learn to spot important information relevant to future
success.
Cheating to help kids win games has ties to today’s “trophy games.” Children are often given rewards simply
for participating in sports and other competitive events.
Parents may believe they are assuring their child’s good self-esteem by rewarding them for showing up, says
Nicki Nance, who is a licensed psychologist and a professor at Beacon College.
Although giving participation prize isn’t necessarily harmful, it is important for children to learn how to
distinguish true accomplishments from mere participation.
“Self-esteem doesn’t come from being adored.” Nance says. It comes from mastery. “If we don’t let children
fail, they miss the opportunity to take ownership of success.”
40. Why do scientists and children experts say losing once in a while is helpful?
________________________________________________________________________________________
41. Why did the children in the controlled group have no preference in choosing adult to help them find more
hidden objects?
________________________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
▶To help children learn how to distinguish true accomplishments from mere participation, participation prize should
not be awarded.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
43. Please explain what you have learned from your failure with an example. （In about 40 words）
