After graduation, I moved to New York in search of a graphic designer job. It was winter and, ever the optimist, I only brought enough money to3 myself for about a month. I wasn't4 -I was sure I'd find a fantastic job immediately.
Within a few weeks, though, I found myself wandering around the streets having been5 by every design office in town. My hotel6 was almost gone and I hadn't eaten in days. "How had I reached this point?" I wondered as I trembled in my thin jacket.
I was just about to7 when my dad called. He suggested that I get a job in a restaurant until something else came along. At first, pride made me8. But I was cold, hungry, and unwilling to go home feeling9 and defeated.

3、During the 2025 Spring Festival, Chinese cinemas witnessed an unexpected phenomenon: the animated film Ne Zha 2 broke box office records within days. By February 3rd, its earnings had already surpassed 4 billion yuan, outperforming even Hollywood blockbusters. Guo Fan, director of the sci-fi hit The Wandering Earth 2, praised the film online, calling it "a milestone for Chinese animation."
The film's popularity forced cinemas to adapt quickly.. Some theaters even scheduled 100 screenings per day, a number rarely seen before. Tickets sold out within minute online, and long queues formed at ticket counters.. For example, limited-edition blind boxes featuring characters like Shen Gongbao sold out instantly, and crowdfunding for collectible figures raised ten times the original goal.
While staying true to ancient myths about gods and demons, the film adds modern themes like "fighting against fate" and friendship. Ne Zha, once a rebellious loner, now teams up with his former rival Ao Bing to face challenges.. Scenes of flaming lotus flowers clashing with water dragons left audiences amazed, proving that Chinese animation can rival global standards.
More than just entertainment, Ne Zha 2 bridges tradition and innovation. — a message as powerful as its box office success.

4、With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company, has appeared as a pioneer in educational technology. Its latest model, DeepSeek-R1, combines advanced machine learning methods to provide personalized learning solutions for students worldwide.
Unlike traditional AI models that rely on pre-programmed answers, DeepSeek-R1 uses reinforcement (强化) learning to simulate human reasoning. This allows it to guide students through problem-solving step by step, much like a patient teacher. For example, when a student struggles with a math equation, DeepSeek-R1 doesn't just give the answer; it breaks down the logic, identifies errors, and encourages critical thinking.
The model's applications extend beyond academics. In language learning, it analyzes students' pronunciation through AI speech recognition and offers real-time feedback. For teachers, DeepSeek-R1 can generate lesson plans matched with curriculum standards and even predict students' learning difficulties based on historical data. Its "adaptive testing" feature createscustomized quizzes that adjust difficulty according to individual progress.
However, challenges remain. Critics argue that over-reliance on AI might reduce human interaction in education. DeepSeek's developers address this by emphasizing its role as a "supplement, not a replacement." As Dr. Li, a DeepSeek researcher, stated, "Our goal is to free teachers from repetitive tasks so they can focus on inspiring creativity."
Looking ahead, DeepSeek aims to integrate virtual reality (VR) into its platform, allowing students to explore historical events or scientific concepts in immersive 3D environments. While ethical (道德的) debates about AI in education persist, one thing is clear: tools like DeepSeek are reshaping how we learn, blending technology with human wisdom.
(1)、What makes DeepSeek-R1 different from traditional AI models?A、It uses pre-programmed answers. B、It focuses on memorization techniques. C、It replaces teachers in classrooms. D、It employs reinforcement learning for reasoning.(2)、The underlined word "customized" in Paragraph 3 most likely means ______.A、complicated B、personalized C、fixed D、outdated(3)、What can be inferred about DeepSeek's future plans?A、It tends to replace teacher's role in education. B、It will focus on solving the ethical problems. C、It aims to enhance students' interactive learning. D、It cares more about making profits than education.(4)、What is the main purpose of the passage?A、To advertise DeepSeek products. B、To compare different AI models. C、To analyze the risks of using AI in schools. D、To discuss AI's role in transforming education. -
5、Over the last two decades, American technology companies and policymakers warned of a "digital divide" in which poor children could fall behind their richer peers without equal access to technology. Today, with widespread internet access and smartphone ownership, the gap has narrowed sharply in America. But gradually a different division has appeared: Across the country, poor children and teenagers are taking part far less in sports and fitness activities than richer youngsters are. Call it the physical divide.
Data from different sources show a significant gap in sports participation (参与) by income level. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study found that 70% of children from families with incomes above about $105,000 — four times the poverty line — took part in sports in 2020. But participation was around 51% for families in a middle-income range, and just 31% for families at or below the poverty line.
A 2021 study of Seattle-area students from fifth grade through high school found that youth were less likely to take part in sports than their richer peers. The study also found that middle schoolers from richer families were three times as likely to meet physical exercise guidelines as less wealthy students.
Schools are not always filling the gap. A recent report from the Physical Activity Alliance, a nonprofit organization, gave schools nationwide a grade of D-for physical fitness. That is a downgrade from a C-in 2014, with the new grade reflecting even less access to regular physical education classes, gym time and equipment in schools. Ann Paulls-Neal, a track coach at Highland High, has noticed that richer students have more access to club sports. She thought about the reasons. Some families couldn't afford private sports or didn't have cars or time to ferry their children to practice while richer ones can afford for club-team fees, uniforms, equipment, travel to tournaments (锦标赛) and private coaching.
(1)、Why is "digital divide" mentioned in paragraph 1?A、To give a definition. B、To introduce the topic. C、To draw attention to it. D、To offer background information.(2)、What do the numbers in paragraph 2 show?A、Children have different exercise habits. B、Richer children are more likely to do sports. C、Poorer children are less interested in sports. D、Most middle-class children take part in sports.(3)、What did Ann think was the main reason for private sports divide?A、Coaching. B、Transport. C、Money. D、Equipment.(4)、What is the best title of the the text?A、Schools try to fill physical divide. B、Physical divide troubles teenagers. C、Digital divide has sharply narrowed. D、Income gap leads to physical divide. -
6、The story of how Pretty Yende, a black opera singer, reached the peak of her career is an inspirational one. Born in a tiny rural town, South Africa, she had a traditional upbringing. Her most direct link to music was church hymns (圣歌).
Yende says that as a shy child, she never considered a career in music. When her grandmother first invited her to sing in church, she knew how uncomfortable it would be to stand in front of people, but she didn't want to disappoint her. She overcame her shyness, and it became her first experience of performing in front of massive audiences.
Then one day she saw opera for the first time on TV at the age of 16. "Hearing this music and the power of it sounded like something supernatural." she recalled. "I remember recording it and imitating it," she said. "I would play the recording the whole day. My gosh, my family were in trouble, because I wouldn't stop practicing and shouting. "
She started to gain popularity in South Africa while still a student at the University of Cape Town, and in 2011, Yende began entering opera competitions. "The very first opera competition that I did was in Vienna, Austria, where I won everything possible," she remembered. Her career took off internationally in 2013 with public performances across the world.
It has not been all without trouble. She continues to address the question of opera's white domination, and believes that she can use her fame and talent as an opportunity to break prejudice. "The biggest challenge has always been being the different one in the room," She remembered. "Sometimes I would enter the rehearsal (排练) room, and what I could see in the room looks like, ‘Why are you here?' And I would just smile. But once I start making music, all of us in that room agreed that I'm not there by mistake."
(1)、What can be learnt from Yende's church performing experience?A、She loved performing on her first try. B、She always wanted to please her family. C、It was her dream to pursue a singing career. D、She was initially not keen on public singing.(2)、What inspired Yende's passion for singing?A、Her grandma's encouragement. B、An exposure to opera on TV. C、Her success in opera competitions. D、An experience of singing hymns.(3)、How did Yende respond to others' prejudice in her career?A、She felt helpless. B、She behaved confidently. C、She laughed about it. D、She demanded a thorough change.(4)、Which of the following best describes Yende according to the text?A、Capable and cooperative. B、Humble and sensitive. C、Talented and devoted. D、Knowledgeable and ambitious. -

8、Mary-Jo Saunders goes to kindergarten every morning, just like many other five-year-olds in New York. Today, she is learning a poem. What is special is that it is a Chinese poem and that she is able to recite it without an accent. Soon she is going to learn Chinese handwriting too. "Learning the world's most spoken language might give Mary-Jo a head start in her future career," says her mother Alison. "I think it's good for her to stretch herself by listening to and pronouncing new sounds, as well as learning to read and write Chinese characters."
More and more ambitious parents in the world are signing their children up for Chinese classes. Keen for their sons and daughters to succeed in life, they see being fluent in a second or third language as an advantage. Learning Chinese is becoming such a global interest that the language has been included in the education systems of more than 75 countries. Over 4,000 overseas universities offer Chinese language courses and about 25 million people are learning Chinese outside China.
It is easy to understand why Chinese is becoming so popular. Learning Chinese may help people get more job opportunities. China is already a global economic power, and its influence is growing. For example, there is China's Belt and Road Initiative, which motivates many countries along the Silk Road to cooperate more closely. It has created thousands of local jobs, many of which need people with a knowledge of Chinese. Another reason is that studying Chinese provides access to wonderful Chinese history and culture. Adam Turner, a school head teacher in the UK, cites this as one of the most appealing aspects of the recently added Chinese course. "Students love the mystery of China," he explains. "They want to know all about its traditions, dynasties and art forms. Learning Chinese helps them see life from a new perspective and broaden their minds to the outside world."

9、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。
An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window.
The father asked his son, "What is this?" The son replied, "It is a crow." After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, "What is this? The son said, "Father, I told you just now. It's a crow."
After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, "What is this?" At this time, some expression of anger was felt in the son's tone when he said to his father. "It's a crow, a crow." A little while later, the father again asked his son for the fourth time, "What is this?"
This time his son shouted at his father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW'? Are you not able to understand this?"
A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page: Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn't at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my innocent son.
Paragraph 1:
After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father.

Tang suits (Tangzhuang) refer to a type of Chinese jackets. The word of Tang suit (create) by the overseas Chinese people decades ago.
the most prosperous and powerful dynasty in the history of China, the Tang Empire (618—907) was so famous in the world that foreigners call the overseas Chinese people "the Tang people", the places they live "Chinatowns (literally meaning Tang People Streets)" and the clothes they wear "Tang suits".
A Tang suit has two (vary) in Chinese culture, which are different from each other in style.

13、A group of researchers examined a decade of responses to an online survey on morals, analyzing how these responses varied from season to season. Their results indicate that, at a population level, people are less likely to support more traditional moral values during summer and winter. The researchers relied on data from a website named YourMorals.org, which provides a "moral foundations questionnaire" allowing respondents to express their level of agreement or disagreement with various moral statements.
The questions were based on moral foundations theory, aiming to understand why morality seems to follow similar patterns among people from diverse cultures. According to this theory, morality can be categorized into five foundational values — care, fairness, loyalty, authority, and purity. These values fall into two groups: individualizing values and binding values.
Not all types of values exhibited a clear seasonal pattern. For example, individualizing values, which emphasize the morality of individual rights, showed little variation over time and did not follow a seasonal trend. In contrast, binding values — those that prioritize group needs, such as loyalty, respect for authority, and purity of tradition — followed a biannual (一年两次的) pattern.
To gain deeper insights into their findings, the researchers also studied patterns in Google search results related to anxiety. They discovered that population-level anxiety also followed a seasonal cycle — peaking in spring and fall, suggesting a possible correlation (关联性). Spring and fall are generally considered the most enjoyable seasons, so an increase in anxiety during these times may come as a surprise. But it's possible that increases in school and work-related changes during these times could play some role. They also suggest that anxiety may decrease in winter due to seasonal holidays, and in summer because of warmer weather and increased vegetation (植被).
"We often perceive moral values as unchanging principles that we hold close," says Professor Hohm. However, they are actually influenced by various factors that we may not notice. Understanding how this happens can help us better comprehend and plan for seasonal shifts.
(1)、Which of the following might not follow a seasonal trend?A、Purity of tradition. B、Fairness among people. C、Loyalty to one's party. D、Respect for authority.(2)、What might be a possible reason for people feeling more anxious in spring and fall?A、Frequent transition of weather. B、Heightened social events and gatherings. C、New challenges from school and work. D、Reduced availability of fresh produce.(3)、What can we learn from the last paragraph?A、Moral values remain constant over time. B、Planning is crucial in maintaining moral stability. C、The influence of morals on behavior is minimal. D、Moral changes can affect plan making.(4)、What is the passage mainly about?A、Our moral values may change with the seasons. B、Anxiety is closely linked to external threats. C、Seasons influence our individualizing values. D、Individualizing values and binding values differ. -
14、Going to the gym can take time and effort, it often hurts, and it can be extremely tiresome. Most weight-related exercises are a combination of sets and reps (组和次). In order to see any significant change from any exercise, it will probably need to be repeated six to eight times, fora minimum of three sets, for about three months. For some, there's nothing more boring than endless miles spent running on a treadmill (跑步机).
But what if there were a way to relieve the tedium of exercise while still getting a good workout? Luckily for us, there's virtual reality.
Many VR games are played while standing. In order to play properly, the player is forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs. After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it's not surprising that many people unexpectedly find themselves a little fitter. There are already a number of virtual reality games which, intentionally or not, result in their player ‘getting a good sweat on' if played for enough time. For example, there's a first person shooter which forces the player to sidestep, duck and other sport actions. That's cardio (有氧运动). Or there's a music game which forces players to shadowbox in order to hit the notes—that's an upper-body workout.
The potential for VR to help people get fit has been noticed by one company. They want to take the whole experience into the gym. They are making a resistance machine, designed to be used in combination with a VR headset. Players challenge a virtual opponent in a series of games, which results in a 30-minute full-body workout. However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out. So don't hang up your gym shorts just yet.
Although it's early days, for those of us who struggle to keep passionate about exercise, anew solution could be coming. And a world where a person can exercise and have fun at the same time might be something that many people would want—virtual or not.
(1)、In paragraph l, the author mainly conveys that going to the gym__________.A、cannot avoid being hurt B、is hard to hold on C、makes sense in a short time D、means three months of exercise(2)、What does the underlined word "tedium" in paragraph 2 most probably mean?A、Boredom. B、Tiredness. C、Expense. D、Inconvenience.(3)、What can be concluded about the 30-minute VR full-body workout?A、Several security problems have been solved. B、The relevant equipment has complex designs. C、It has turned out to be very effective and popular. D、It may be unavailable due to some disadvantages.(4)、What's the author's attitude towards virtual exercise in the future?A、Indifferent. B、Positive. C、Tolerant. D、Doubtful. -
15、Life is often compared to a journey, filled with twists and turns, highs and lows. This metaphor, while clichéd (老生常谈), holds a profound truth: the path we take is rarely straight, and the lessons we learn along the way shape who we become. I was reminded of this during a recent trip to the mountains, where the physical challenges of the hike mirrored the emotional and intellectual struggles I had been facing.
The trail was steep and tough, with sections that seemed almost insurmountable (不可逾越的). As I climbed, my legs burned, and my breath grew short. There were moments when I wanted to turn back, to retreat to the comfort of the familiar. But something inside me urged me to press on, to see what lay beyond the next bend. It was in these moments of doubt and exhaustion that I began to reflect on the nature of perseverance.
Perseverance, I realized, is not just about pushing through physical pain or mental exhaust. It is about maintaining a sense of purpose, even when the destination is unclear. It is about trusting that the effort we put in will eventually yield results, even if those results are not immediately visible. This lesson was not new to me, but experiencing it in such a real way brought it into sharper focus.
As I continued my climbing, I noticed how the landscape changed with each step. The dense forest gave way to open meadows, and the air grew cooler. The higher I climbed, the more expansive the view became. It was a powerful reminder that perspective is everything. What seems like an insurmountable obstacle from one point can appear entirely different from another. This shift in perspective can be transformative, allowing us to see challenges not as roadblocks but as opportunities for growth.
By the time I reached the summit, I was exhausted but excited. The view from the top was breathtaking, a reward for the effort it had taken to get there. But more than the view, it was the journey itself that left a lasting impression. The climb had taught me valuable lessons about resilience, perspective, and the importance of staying the course, even when the path is difficult.
Life, like the mountain trail, is full of challenges that test our limits and push us to grow. It is through these challenges that we discover our strength and resilience. And while the journey may be difficult, the lessons we learn and the perspectives we gain make it all worthwhile.
(1)、What does the narrator realize about perseverance during the hike?A、It is only about physical endurance. B、It requires avoiding all obstacles. C、It is unnecessary when the destination is clear. D、It involves maintaining a sense of purpose and trusting the process.(2)、How does the narrator's perspective change during the climb?A、He sees challenges as opportunities for growth. B、He realizes the journey is not worth the effort. C、He becomes more focused on the destination. D、He decides to turn back and give up.(3)、What does the narrator find most rewarding about reaching the summit?A、The physical view from the top. B、The lessons learned during the journey. C、The opportunity to rest and relax. D、The chance to take photographs.(4)、What does the passage suggest about life's challenges?A、They should be avoided at all costs. B、They are best faced with the help of others. C、They are opportunities for growth and selfdiscovery. D、They are easier to overcome with a clear destination. -
