第二部分 閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分50分）
第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2. 5分，滿分37. 5分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
While tea may have its origins in Asia, now it has found its way into their food culture and traditions in many countries. It is a special way of connecting people all over the world in different ways and ceremonies. That finally all results in a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea.
Chinese tea culture
Since China is considered as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich in history and tradition. Today, Chinese tea continues to be used in Chinese medicine and is commonly used on both formal and informal occasions either for personal enjoyment or as a Chinese cultural tradition.
Japanese tea culture
Japan also has a long history with tea, especially Japanese Matcha, which is a kind of ground green tea. Japanese tea is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and only in recent years has become popular in western culture.
British tea culture
When it comes to British tea, British tea culture is what comes to mind. A hot cup of Earl Grey tea often serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pick-me-up for the day, which makes you feel better and more energetic. Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today.
Moroccan tea culture
When you visit Morocco, it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a special way to welcome guests. Before any gathering, a pot of mint(薄荷)tea is always prepared and served among the host and guests. This is an expression of Moroccan tradition and kindness, which should always be accepted by guests as a sign of appreciation and respect to the host.
21. What do Chinese and Japanese tea cultures have in common
A. They have a long history.
B. They are used in medicine.
C. They are well known for green tea.
D. They have long been widely recognized.
22. Why do the British prefer the afternoon tea

C. To bring out respect D. To observe a tradition.
23. What word can best describe Moroccan people

When a new product totally fails, companies typically try to move on as quickly as possible and put all of their energy into developing fresh ideas that they hope will catch on. But the Museum of Failure never forgets. This traveling exhibition, which was first launched in Sweden in 2017, has arrived in New York City.
By focusing on more than 150 commercial ideas that didn’t succeed for various reasons, the exhibition aims to stimulate discussion about accepting and learning from failure, for example, new Coke, limeade-flavored Oreo cookies, crystal Pepsi and a “hula chair” for exercise.
The exhibition is organized by Samuel West, a clinical psychologist who specializes in organizational science. He hopes it could help normalize and interpret the concept of failure, which he sees as a critical learning opportunity.
“My research is focused on helping organizations to be more innovative,” West says. “And one of the big problems of innovation is the fear of failure.” Indeed, many of the brands featured in the Museum of Failure haven’t let one or two frustrated efforts stand in their way. For example, Oreo has made plenty of delicious new flavors, and both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are still booming. “People feel liberated when they see big well-known brands and companies that have a lot of money and skills and experience still fail when trying new things,” West says. “People feel liberated, like ‘big boys’ can fail, so why can’t we ”
The exhibition has interactive features like a “Share Your Failure” wall, where visitors can write their own mistakes on sticky notes. West says, “We want people to take meaningful risks and learn from them. That’s where the action is, when it comes to innovation: People trying something new, accepting the level of risk that comes with it and learning from it if the new thing fails. You fail but you gain insight, build on it, try a different version, tinker(修補(bǔ)) and come back again with something better.”
24. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The fame of big brands. B. The difficulty of innovation.
C. The purpose of the exhibition. D. The importance of fresh ideas.
25. What does Samuel West think of failure
A. Costly. B. Relative.
C. Unavoidable. D. Valuable.
26. What do Samuel West’s words in paragraph 4 show
A. His exhibition is easy for people to understand.
B. Big companies are supportive of the exhibition.
C. The exhibition can help reduce people’s fear of failure.
D. Innovation spirit is of great importance to big companies.
27. What did Samuel West suggest people do in terms of innovation
A. Try to avoid risks. B. Learn from failure.
C Refer to big brands’ ideas. D. Put all your energy into it.
C
Laughter comes in many forms, from a polite chuckle to an infectious howl of amusement. Scientists are now developing an AI system that can copy various forms of laughter accurately. The team behind the laughing robot, Erica, say that the system could improve natural conversations between people and AI systems.
Dr. Koji Inoue, lead author of the research from Kyoto University, highlights empathy (共情) as a crucial aspect of conversational AI, suggesting laughter sharing as a means for robots to connect with users. To achieve this, Inoue and his team gathered data from over 80 speed-dating dialogues between male students and Erica, initially operated by amateur actors.
Dialogue data labeled for individual, social, and joyful laughter was used to train an AI system to identify and produce fitting laughter responses. Based on the audio files, the algorithm (算法) learned their subtle differences, aiming to imitate social laughs subtly and hearty laughs empathetically.
“Our biggest challenge in this work was identifying the actual cases of shared laughter,” explained Inoue, emphasizing the need for careful categorization. Erica’s “sense of humor” was tested with four dialogues, integrating the new shared-laughter algorithm. These were compared to cases where Erica didn’t laugh or emitted social laughs upon detecting laughter.
The clips were played to 130 volunteers who rated the shared-laughter algorithm highly for empathy and naturalness. The team believed laughter could imbue robots with unique character traits, including conversational behaviors like laughter, eye gaze, gestures, and speaking style. However, Inoue acknowledged it could take over 20 years to have a “casual chat with a robot like we would with a friend.”
Professor Sandra Wachter, of the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford, said, “One of the things I’d keep in mind is that a robot or algorithm will never be able to understand you. It doesn’t understand the meaning of laughter. They fail to feel, but they might get very good at making you believe they understand what’s going on.”
28 Why do scientists develop the AI system that can copy various forms of laughter
A. To make robots sound more human-like.
B. To help robots understand human emotions better.
C. To enable robots to have a sense of humor like humans.
D. To enhance the emotional interaction between people and AI systems.
29. What was the challenge Inoue faced while working on this project
A. Creating an algorithm that can genuinely feel amusement.
B. Identifying the situations where laughter is truly understood.
C. Distinguishing between different types of laughter accurately.
D. Collecting sufficient data for training the machine learning system.
30. What does the underlined word “imbue” mean in Paragraph 5
A. Equip. B. Inspire. C. Engage. D. Influence.
31. What is Professor Sandra Wachter’s view on laughing robots
A. They are not capable of capturing human laughter.
B. They can imitate laughter but lack thorough comprehension.
C. It is possible for them to play tricks on humans occasionally.
D. It will take long before humans have comfortable conversations with them.
D
The animated film Ne Zha 2, released on January 29,2025, has become a huge success in the film industry. Directed by the famous Jiaozi (Yang Yu), it continues the exciting story of Ne Zha（哪吒）and Ao Bing（敖丙）from the first movie.
After surviving a terrible disaster called the ＂Heavenly Tribulation（天劫），＂Ne Zha and Ao Bing lost their physical bodies. Their souls were in great danger until Taiyi Zhenren（太乙真人）， a wise immortal from Chinese mythology, saved them using a magical seven -colored lotus. However, peace did not last long. Their souls began to disappear again, forcing Taiyi Zhenren to face a difficult task-rebuilding their bodies with limited materials while solving unexpected problems.
The film shows remarkable character growth. Ne Zha, once known for his rebellious nature, learns to care deeply for his friends and understand his true self.

Later, the story takes the audience to Kunlun Mountain（昆侖山），a magical place from Chinese myths filled with colorful landscapes and graceful fairy-like creatures. The most unforgettable part is the final battle, where characters use amazing weapons like the shape- changing Tianyuan Ding（天元鼎）.The fast paced fighting and brilliant special effects leave a strong impression.
Beyond the action, Ne Zha 2 teaches important life lessons. It encourages people to stay brave when facing difficulties, fight for what is right, and value friendship. These themes resonate with both young and adult audiences.
The film has broken box office records, earning an astonishing amount in its first week. It also received high praise from critics and viewers, currently holding an 8.6/10 rating on major review platforms. Many praise its perfect mix of cultural elements, exciting storytelling, and positive messages.

第二節(jié) 七選五（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）
閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
It is not always easy to keep a conversation going in English. You might not be sure about what to say. Or maybe you are afraid that your pronunciation is not good. So how can we continue a conversation in English ___36___
Listen and follow up
First, remember the importance of listening. Listen to the other person attentively, so that you can ask a follow-up question. For example, let’s say the other person tells you, “I just got back from a trip to Canada.” ___37___ Where did you go in Canada What was your favorite place there How was the food there
Avoid simple “yes” or “no” questions
If you want to keep a conversation going, it’s a good idea to ask questions that cannot be answered with a simple “yes” or “no”. If the other person asks you a “yes” or “no” question, try to give a longer answer to help keep the conversation going.
For example, a friend might ask, “Hey, have you seen the new Star Wars movie ” You could just answer, “No, I haven’t.” ___38___ You could answer: “No, but I plan to see it soon. How about you ”
___39___
Do not worry about your pronunciation. If your pronunciation is a little different, the other person will still understand your message if you try speaking slowly and clearly. When you are traveling in an English-speaking country and have some free time, be brave and speak in English with someone who does not look too busy. ___40___
A. Or, you could say more.
B. Be brave and practice often.
C. You can try the following ways.
D. Why did you choose the destination
E. Then you may make a new friend.

On the first morning of second grade, Jared remembered five things he didn’t like about school; Jessica, lining up, maths, spelling, and reading aloud. Jared wanted to stay home, but his mom sent him anyway. He had to sit next to Jessica.
At reading time, Mrs. Thomas asked Jared to read. Reading aloud always made Jared nervous. As he picked up the book, his hands shook. Words were not clear. “He can’t read,” Jessica said, “I didn’t call on you, did I ” asked Mrs. Thomas. “No, but I’ll read.” Jared made a face. They were asked to stay outside the classroom for a time-out (暫停).During the period, Jessica whispered to him, “When Mom brings my kittens (小貓) to school, don’t even think about touching them.”
The four kittens arrived in a box covered with a piece of screen. Everyone except Jared held them. Jared had nothing to do but practice spelling. When he sharpened his pencil, he looked into the tiny box. “Don’t want to touch my kittens!” Jessica shouted. “Stupid kittens,” Jared said. After the second class, almost the whole class wanted to play with the kittens. Then Philip said, “Hey, where are the kittens ” The box was empty. “Oh no!” Jessica said, “Jared, did you take them ” Jared shook his head, thinking they must have pushed up the lid (蓋子). “He said they were stupid.” Jessica told Mrs. Thomas. “I didn’t mean it” Jared’s face turned red.
“Look at the radiator (散熱器)!” Philip said. A Tiny gray face rose from under the radiator cover. “Kitty, kitty,” Mrs. Thomas said. The face disappeared. “If we ignore them, maybe they’ll come out. At least the heat isn’t on.” Instead of practicing spelling, Jared watched the radiator. Soon, two faces and a tiny head appeared. Alex yelled, “Kitten!” The kitten was out of sight again. Jessica cried.

Jared decided to help the kittens out so he stood up from his desk. When Jared passed the empty box, he saw kitten food. He had an idea. “Mrs. Thomas, may I have a try I can get the kittens out,” he said. “How, Jared ” Jared took the kitten food to the radiator, “Hungry, guys ” he whispered. He sat on the floor and spread the food beside him. A kitten came out. Jared waited until it was eating. Then another kitten appeared.
Jared lifted them into the box with Jessica watching with joy. Jared spread more treats. Soon the other kittens were coming out, Jared gently put them in the box. “Class, Jared saved the kittens.” Mrs. Thomas announced with a big smile. Everyone cheered. “Thanks,” whispered Jessica. “You’re the greatest.” Jared was so pleased that when he read, his hands didn’t shake. Words also became clearer. That day, Jared decided second grade might not be so bad.

M: I don’t think it’s a good idea. The weather report says there will be strong winds with heavy rain the entire afternoon.
W: That’s a pity.

W: John, I heard you wanted to be a spaceman when you were little.
M: Yes. Now I know how difficult it is to make it come true.
W: So have you given it up
M: No, I’m still working hard to achieve it.

M: Madam, where are you going
W: I’m going to the Science Museum. Do you know how to get there
M: Certainly. I’ve been a taxi driver here for several years. So just get in.
W: Thanks. By the way, how long does it take to get there
M: (6) It depends. If the traffic is good, it takes just about twenty minutes. But if the traffic is bad, it may take ten more minutes.
W: So do you know when the museum closes
M: Yes. (7) It closes at 6:00 pm. There are still one and a half hours left. It means you can look around for about an hour.
W: Good. That’s enough for me.

M: (10) Bella, Mr Smith asked us to write an article about a historical figure. It should be completed before Thursday. Have you decided on whom to write about
W: I’m considering either John F. Kennedy or Winston Churchill. What about you, Tom
M: (8) Franklin D. Roosevelt. I’m interested in his life. Since it’s already Tuesday today, we’d better get down to writing it.
W: Yes, but I think we should first search for enough material about them.
M: Good idea.
W: (10) What about going to the school library together
M: Why not But it’s twelve o’clock now. (9) I’m a little bit hungry.
W: (9) Me too. Let’s get something to eat in the dining hall first.
M: All right.

W: Bob, Look! A new robot called Gita will come onto the market around Christmas. It can follow its owner
like a dog.
M: Wow, so cute. What can it do for us
W: (11) It can hold fruits, vegetables and other items for us.
M: That truly saves us the trouble. How does it work
W: It basically just locks onto you and tracks you. It does not require the use of a cellphone or GPS technology.
M: Amazing! How much does it weigh
W: About 23 kg. But can you guess how much it costs
M: Somewhere between 2,000 dollars and 3,000 dollars.
W: 3,250 dollars. I think it is priced too high for most people.
M: (12) But in my view, it’s worth it. It is bound to sell well.
W: (13) However, some experts say it will fail unless it has more useful purposes.
M: Maybe they are right.

W: Have you decided how much you’re going to ask for your house, sir
M: Not yet. I have no idea. What factors do I need to consider
W: You need to consider several factors, like the size, location, house condition, and so on. So how many
bedrooms are there in your house
M: Two, (14) but there is also a study, which can be changed into a bedroom.
W: (14) That’s an additional feature. Is your house in the downtown
M: No. It’s in the suburbs of the city, ten bus stops away from the city center.
W: Is it in good shape
M: Yes. It was built in the late 2000s, and we’ve just redecorated. So it looks very new.
W: Why do you want to sell it Do you need a bigger one or much money
M: No. (15) I will leave the country and settle down in China.
W: Now I see. Well, can you decide on the selling price now
M: (16) Not really. I think I’ll discuss it with my family first. I’ll come again and give you a reply tomorrow.

W: Good evening, everyone. My name is Rachel Varn. (20) Welcome to our fitness center. I’ll give a short talk first. (18) Last year, I made a decision to give up my job of selling bicycles. Then, I founded Pedal Power Kids to focus on bicycle education. (19) When kids start a ride, the most important tip I want to give them is to make sure that the bicycles are in good condition for safe use. Then they should wear helmets. And the rest of the training can be fun. Learning bicycle riding can be beneficial. According to a study, it can open a whole new world to children, making them become more curious about their surroundings. So my goal is to get more children on two wheels. If you want your kids to learn to ride a bicycle, I’m there for you! Today, I’m honored to see so many of you come to my place. Now any parents in the hall can ask me questions about learning bicycle riding and Pedal Power Kids. (20) Then I’ll show you around our fitness center and introduce each part of it to you.
