Back in February, sophomore Jackie Hsiao of the UR Fencing Club competed in the 2025 Fencing(擊劍) Junior Olympics in Charlotte, NC, which was the summit of her six years of preparation and her first national-level competition against superior fencers.
Hsiao’s fencing journey began at a summer camp before her eighth grade year. Despite spending long hours sweating in fencing gear and competing against more experienced opponents, which left her tired and frustrated, her time at camp awakened her interest in the sport, which she later pursued.
In high school, Hsiao found a welcoming community of fencers and coaches, some of whom also went to participate in February’s Junior Olympics. She developed and refined her skills with the foil, the smallest and lightest fencing weapon targeting the body.
In her senior year, Hsiao suffered a devastating ACL tear (前交叉韌帶撕裂), which put her fencing career in danger. “I thought I would never get back into fencing,” she said. After surgery and nine months of punishing physical therapy two to three times a week, Hsiao began fencing again. Regarding the changes to her fencing after the injury, Hsiao noted, “I’ve always been a more defensive fencer so my fencing hasn’t changed too much after my injury. But I do have to think more about getting my back leg under me while I fence.”
Beyond the physical alterations to her style, Hsiao spoke on the mental adjustments for high-level competitions. She emphasized the importance of positive thinking and mental preparation, saying, “If you think you’re going to do badly, it does have an impact on how you fence.” Moreover, from recent meets, including the Junior Olympics, she learned to “trust instincts (直覺) and avoid overthinking during matches.”
Hsiao also revealed the life lessons fencing has taught her, saying, “Not giving up is key and losing is one of the best ways to learn.” Her next goal in fencing is to continue competing at a national level and earn a rating from the United States Fencing Association through tournament victories.
24．What inspired Hsiao to engage in the fencing career initially
A．The influence of superior Olympic fencers.
B．The supportive community in high school.
C．Her desire to win national competitions.
D．Her experience at a summer camp.
25．What impact did the ACL tear have on Hsiao
A．It caused her to adopt a more attacking style.
B．It forced her to develop a habit of overthinking.
C．It led her to focus more on physical adjustments.
D．It completely ended her competitive fencing career.
26．Which of the following best describes Hsiao
A．Reflective and flexible. B．Cautious and hesitant.
C．Talented and humble. D．Innovative and responsible.
27．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Mental Evolution: Hsiao’s Road to Positive Thinking
B．From Recovery to Recognition: A Fencer’s Journey of Perseverance
C．Beyond the Limits: Balancing Training and Recovery in Fencing
D．The Rise of a National Champion: Jackie Hsiao’s Comeback

For centuries, what makes human creativity so precious is not only the final products it yields, but also the effort behind their creation. But in a world where AI can generate anything with the click of a button, how do we distinguish what truly matters How does human-made art survive
Throughout history, the most famous works of art, literature, and music have carried a sense of labor, dedication, and mastery. We don’t just admire the end product; we admire how it came to be. Masterpieces like Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” sustain not simply for their artistic beauty, but for the human stories they carry. They remind us that art is not just about beauty or skill — it is about intention, persistence, and what makes us human.
As AI floods the world with instant beauty, we’re entering an era of “aesthetic inflation”, where perfectly composed images, poetic style, and movie-like storytelling are available to anyone, instantly and at no cost. This makes us think about when beauty is effortless and endless, does human creations still have value
But human imperfection isn’t a weakness — it’s part of who we are, shaping our understanding of humanity. Our struggles, mistakes, and limitations aren’t just difficulties to overcome — they’re part of what gives life meaning. In this light, AI’s ability to create perfect art feels almost unnatural—a rejection of the struggle that gives creativity its weight. It may achieve technical perfection — but at the cost of the original energy that makes art stir feelings within people. Even at its most impressive, AI-generated art often feels empty. It has no real emotions or experiences, and no clear creator, failing to create unexpected surprises and arouse shared emotion with audience.
Therefore, to preserve meaning, selection and context become more crucial. As AI can produce endless content, the human elements like context, narrative and the reasoning behind art become the true value source. Also, AI can be a creative collaborator rather than a replacement, refining ideas while keeping human imperfection and feeling, and acting as an amplifier (放大鏡) of human vision.
28．Why do masterpieces like “Starry Night” remain valuable in the AI era
A．They represent unique human characteristics.
B．They showcase brilliant artistic creation skill.
C．They are created through long production processes.
D．They contain human emotional depth and creative effort.
29．Why does the author mention “aesthetic inflation” in paragraph 3
A．To demonstrate AI’s efficiency in art creation.
B．To prove that AI-generated art is more affordable.
C．To criticize the overuse of technology in art creation.
D．To stress the devaluation of beauty due to mass production.
30．How does the author develop the argument in the passage
A．By giving examples. B．By giving definitions.
C．By making comparisons. D．By making classifications.
31．The author wrote this passage to ___________.
A．show ways to perfect art with AI
B．teach how to create art in the age of AI
C．argue why human art still matters in the AI age
D．introduce a new revolution in art creation brought by AI
D
This spring, half the country will be able to consider growing plants they couldn’t have before. In November, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) changed its Plant Hardiness Zone Map for the first time since 2012. The map showed an average increase of around 1.4℃ across the lower 48 states.
People in Arkansas can now think about planting mandarin oranges in their gardens. New Yorkers might steer clear of planting native sugar maples (糖楓) that prefer a cooler temperature. We’re used to tracking climate change through a series of disasters, but the hidden signs of it have been in our backyards all along.
Living by Walden Pond, likely the most famous pond in the U.S., for about two years in the mid-19th century, Henry David Thoreau penned the book “Walden” based on his experiences. He noted when various types of bushes and trees shot, when wildflowers flowered, and the arrival dates of migratory bird. Scientists think highly of Thoreau’s detailed records, as by comparing his detailed observations in “Walden” with modern flowering times, they found plants now shoot an average of 18 days earlier, having a huge influence on young insects and migratory birds.
The updated planting zones bring both opportunities and challenges for gardeners who can experiment with new types of plants but might find that prized trees or bushes aren’t doing as well as they were a decade or two ago. If native sugar maples no longer do well in New York State, what does that mean for the ecosystem that has come to rely on them
The most uncomfortable thing about the changes to the USDA growing zones is that they are based on information from the last 30 years. We live in an age of solastalgia (鄉痛), a term that refers to missing an environment that no longer exists. The time to notice and value the environment around us is now. The only thing sadder than missing something that's gone away is not realizing that so much has already changed.
32. What does the underlined phrase “steer clear of” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Avoid. B. Anticipate. C. Risk. D. Consider.
33. Why do scientists consider “Walden” important
A. It is based on native species. B. It revealed climate patterns.
C. It is of great scientific value. D. It gave research inspirations.
34. How can we comment on the updated planting zones according to paragraph 4
A. Every coin has two sides. B. All that shines is not gold.
C. Things don’t stay the same. D. Misfortunes never come alone.
35. What does solastalgia remind people to do
A. Adapt to varying conditions. B. Mind and love the present world.
C. Fight against the climate change. D. Notice impacts on an environment.

Sometimes it can feel like your head is too cluttered. With work, school, or a busy schedule, things are bound to get jumbled (亂糟糟的) every once and a while! 36 From focusing to journaling, we’ll teach you how to mindfully distract yourself from worrying thoughts.
Focus on the present moment. Practice mindfulness daily to help clear your mind and be more focused. Mindfulness is all about letting all other thoughts come and go. Observe your thoughts and feelings without judgement, as if you’re an outsider in your own mind. 37
Take a walk. 38 When you’re being mindful, you’re fully engaging in the present moment, letting feelings come and go as you focus on what’s in front of bining this state of mind with walking produces an extra special stress reliever that improves mental and physical health. Try scheduling a walk around the block, on the treadmill, or through a local park every day.
39 Take a moment to breathe and come back to the present moment. Life can easily become go, go, go, and in the process, you can easily forget to breathe. Settling down wherever you are to take controlled breaths can calm your racing mind and heartbeat, helping you feel more relaxed.

What Humanoid Robots’ Yangko Dance Brings us
第二節（滿分25分）
閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
When we were finally dismissed from the last class of the day, the students streamed out of the classrooms. It was another boring day after school. I dragged my feet home as I sighed. Yet another uneventful day, I thought. Little did I know that the day would take a turn for the worse. The lift lobby(電梯間) of my flat was old and dirty. The walls, which were painted white, had been dirtied over many years. I reached my flat’s lobby, and pressed the lift button and went in. Just then, Mrs. Lim, my elderly neighbour, hobbled(蹣跚)in. I held the lift door open, flashing a friendly smile, and politely greeted her. I asked her how she felt that day and pressed the buttons. She thanked me for being so polite, then we were silent for the rest of the ride.
The lift went up increasingly fast. There were loud clanking sounds here and there while the lift grew slower and slower. My heart beat hard and fast as my hands turned cold and wet with sweat. Unfortunately, the lift came to an abrupt stop at the fifth floor. I pressed the buttons hard several times, but it was of no help. The lights on the buttons had gone out. It soon dawned on me that we were trapped. An icy fear crept up my spine. Mrs. Lim was hysterical(歇斯底里的)．
“We will never get out!” she cried with her face pale. It had become a colourless mask. I had no time to lose. I pressed the bell in the lift immediately. The sound was surely deafening, but what other choice did I have Mrs. Lim burst into tears. I tried my very best to comfort her, telling her that everything would be all right and that we needed to find out how to get out safely. Mrs. Lim began having trouble breathing, and I immediately helped her sit down and loosened her collar.
注意：1. 續寫詞數應為150個左右；

第二節 讀后續寫
Several minutes passed, but no help came. With my help, Mrs. Lim managed to breathe smoothly and gradually controlled her emotions. In despair, I dialed 911 once again with my trembling fingers. Luckily, I got through to an emergency worker and was reassured that help was on the way. Knowing someone would come to our rescue, I felt a heavy load taken off our mind. Holding her hands tightly, I comforted Mrs. Lim constantly, believing that we would definitely get out. But at present we could do nothing but wait for professional aid patiently and silently in the lift.
Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard firefighters on the other side of the lift door. Thrilled and hopeful, I banged the lift door like crazy and screamed as loud as possible in order to attract their attention. And it worked! Mrs. Lim sounded weaker than before, about which I was really concerned. Finally, the experienced and professional rescue experts solved the life-or-death crisis and we were released from the lift car. Given Mrs. Lim’s terrible condition, she was rushed to hospital immediately. Having conveyed my sincere gratitude for what they did for us, I went back to my flat, feeling blessed with these caring guardian angels always around us.

W: Can I ask you about your childhood Were you a bookish child
M: In a strange way, I was a non-reader until I turned 9. I used to play basketball in the schoolyards of Brooklyn. My father was a high school teacher of physics and chemistry. And he was a big reader. He would bring books back from his high school library. One day I read the last chapter of a book, the title of which I’ve long since forgotten. I liked it so much that I started reading the remainder. Interestingly, I read the chapters backwards until I got to the beginning. I really loved the experience, and I soon became an eager reader. Then my father would bring piles of books home from the library. And I would read them all, and they were all fiction. I must add that I started reading the books from the start, as opposed to working backwards.
Text 10
M: Hello, I’m Maxim Vengarov, and I’m very happy to share with you my connection with open Tchaikovsky Competition. It was June 1986 when I came to Moscow to participate in open Tchaikovsky Competition at the age of 10 from Chelyabinsk. This was actually the turning point of my life. Then I attended a world music festival in Berlin. And it was interesting to say that a kid made his breakthrough already at the age of 10. And that was me. Now as a judge of the competition, I can see clearly the huge challenges facing the musicians in the competition. Where else can you see young players playing within ten days—classical works and Russian traditional music before coming to the final stage As a musician, it’s important to give maximum attention and time to your own reflections of your own feelings. So, what I’m really looking for in the competition is to meet someone who can touch me musically. I want to see the seed, at least the seed of the great tree that can grow. I would go for this violinist. I would go for this musician.
