It gives you something to return to in your next writing session, so you aren’t starting from a blank page. Don’t be stubborn, get some rest and you’ll find you return to writing with fresh eyes.”— Nicole Glove, author of The Starseekers“Write wildly, and write what excites you. Of course, the market and its expectations will always be a consideration, but the writing process is joyful because your creativity is boundless. As with ‘don’t self-reject’, please don’t ‘self-limit’. Everything else is already trying to do that to you.”— Hien Nguyen, author of Twin Tides“Read widely and thoughtfully. As a writer, you are asking complete strangers to spend hours of their time in the world of your stories. Engaging with other authors’ work is crucial to learning how to make your stories as convincing and well-fulfilled as possible.”— Vanessa Lawrence, author of Sheer“Don’t try to force your will on a book before you know what it is — or what it needs. Writing is a kind of trust exercise: you do the work, you show up again and again, and over time the story begins to meet you. And listen to your obsessions (癖好). Whatever you can’t stop thinking about — that’s your compass.”— Paula McLain, author of Skylark1.

It was at my local pet shop that I brought him home, when the larger parrots persistently pushed him away from the seed dish and even off the end of the perch (栖木).He must have taken a liking to the name I gave him, for he picked it up with remarkable speed. I made a habit of keeping him informed of my daily activities and routinely inquired whether the music I played met with his approval. What never failed to amuse me was his practice of new vocabulary; whenever he mispronounced a word, he would mutter (嘀咕) loudly — a behaviour I interpreted as his own form of self-criticism.I would keep Bubba’s cage door open unless he engaged in some mischief, when I would shut him in until he behaved. It was not long before he mastered the phrase, “Bubba’s a good boy.” Upon his release, I was showered with abundant kisses! Among all my memories, the one I treasure most is of his final Christmas. He uttered, “What doing ” I explained that the following day would be Christmas Day, and that the decorations were bound to lift our spirits. The next morning, he emerged early kissing me, which continued throughout the entire day. That evening, as I settled him into his cage, he had a very contented expression on his face.On his final day, he refused to let go of me, lying in the palm of my hand for hours on end. At bedtime, he cried in complaint the moment I placed him into his cage; consequently, I asked whether he would prefer to remain in my bedroom — a question that was followed by lots of kissing sounds. After the customary music, I instructed him to lie down and make himself comfortable. In the morning, I found him lying still, one wing over his head. To this day, I remain convinced that he still pays me visits.4. What was probably the author’s original motivation for buying BubbaA．Sympathy. B．Affection. C．Curiosity. D．Guilt.5. What does the author focus on in Paragraph 2A．Bubba’s self-criticism.B．Bubba’s super memory.C．Bubba’s funny pronunciations.D．Bubba’s learning experiences.6. Which is closest to the underlined word “mischief” in meaningA．Game-playing. B．Language-learning.C．Trouble-making. D．Mistake-reviewing.7. Which is the best title of the storyA．Two Is Company. B．Always Love You.C．Living in Harmony. D．The Kiss That Stayed.CThe Shakers, a time-honored community that settled in the United States in the 1700s, crafted objects of quiet, understated elegance. Among all their handmade wares — baskets, brooms and blankets — the Shaker chair stands as the most revealing symbol of their way of life. These chairs were never intended as fine art or cultural icons; they were built solely for function. Every element, from straight wooden legs to tightly woven seats, served a clear practical end. No carvings, paint or decorative flourishes (花饰) were added unless they strengthened the frame or boosted comfort. With clean, plain lines, each piece existed only to be used.The unique grace of a Shaker chair stems from this truth: it was built by someone who truly believed an angel might come and sit upon it. Rooted in that faith, the Shakers crafted every chair with extraordinary care. Any rough edge was seen as an insult (冒犯) to the person who would use it. This deep devotion to craftsmanship turned ordinary furniture into pieces where every surface, joint and woven fiber met a precise, uncompromising standard. Above all, the material world was a way of supporting spiritual life.In 1987, a tall Shaker revolving chair sold for $88,000, a then-record price for the furniture. Yet the Shakers themselves never wanted to be remembered for their handmade pieces. “I do not wish to be remembered merely as a chair,” said the late Shaker Sister Mildred Barker. “I hope people will recall what my life truly stood for.” To her, the chair was never a memorial — it was simply a tool that let her community live out its core beliefs.Only a tiny Shaker community survives today. That ideal of having everything exactly as it should be may now feel unattainable, yet we can still catch a glimpse of it in the quiet grace of a Shaker chair. It stands quietly plain and complete to the eye, as if nothing is missing, and nothing extra is needed.8. How did the Shakers make their chairsA．They added nothing without a purpose.B．They painted chairs in vivid colors.C．They avoided any carving on each chair.D．They decorated chairs with elegant lines.9. Why did the Shakers make their chairs with great careA．They seek high chair profits.B．They anticipate angel visitors.C．They stick to their traditional belief.D．They want to reshape their craftsmanship.10. Which statement best interprets Sister Mildred Barker’s wordsA．A Shaker chair enriches the Shakers’ spiritual life.B．Craftsmanship is more important than racial belief.C．The Shakers should be remembered for their furniture.D．A carefully crafted object is not the life that created it.11. What qualities would the Shakers probably valueA．Modesty and perfection.B．Nobleness and elegance.C．Diligence and confidence.D．Conventionality and creativity.DAccording to an analysis by Harvard Business Review, therapy (治疗) and companionship are the top ways people are using generative AI, but some people form emotional dependencies leading to withdrawal from their real lives. Research found that heavy daily use was correlated with increased loneliness.AI tools are known to routinely invent information and present it confidently as fact. You can ask a chatbot to use verified or scientific sourcing and to share the links of all the articles it’s referencing, but the only way to ensure accuracy is to fact-check the information yourself. AI-generated images and videos are increasingly commonplace online. The current tools make it possible for anyone to create images and videos so realistic that it’s often no longer possible to distinguish what’s real from what’s AI.As far as trust goes, it’s also vital to remember that AI chatbots are created by companies struggling to beat each other in a competitive market. “Trust AI as much as you trust a car dealer,” Celebi says. “Sure, they’re here to provide you a service, but the AI works for a tech giant.” Connected to that, it’s important to keep data privacy risks in mind. If you share personal details and private thoughts with AI tools, know that protection of your information is far from guaranteed.Despite these concerns, tech companies are now enthusiastically developing AI agents to act on your behalf, sometimes autonomously. Imagine AI not just planning your vacation but booking your flight and hotel with your credit card fully on its own. Future agents could act like a “chief of staff,” handling your emails, scheduling meetings, and setting reminders. It is the next step to potentially creating the kind of true AI assistant sci-fi has dreamed of for decades.Overall, though, it’s a common sense in the tech industry that no one can predict how AI technology will evolve. It is we human beings that decide whether or not to use it, trust it and regulate it.12. Which risk of using generative AI is mentioned in the textA．AI tools emerge as a threat to medical care system.B．Long chat experiences may cause mental problems.C．Tech companies share users’ private data for profit.D．AI agents often make wrong decisions autonomously.13. What does Celebi suggest about AI chatbotsA．They should follow the example of car dealers.B．They break the law by selling clients’ information.C．They struggle to hold the line to survive in the market.D．They serve the interests of their producers all the time.14. What can be inferred about future AI agentsA．They will replace human workers in office jobs.B．They are being designed to prioritize user privacy.C．They may perform financial deals for their masters.D．They will probably keep families away from troubles.15. What attitude does the author take towards AIA．Supportive. B．Cautious. C．Objective. D．Doubtful.七选五Many people think of poetry as something only studied in classrooms or read by literature lovers. They might see it as difficult verses to analyze for exams or as a form of art reserved for scholars. 16. From managing emotions to strengthening relationships, poetry offers benefits that anyone can enjoy.One of the most powerful uses of poetry is emotional expression. 17. Yet a poem can say what we cannot. Writing a few lines about how you feel can help you process difficult experiences and celebrate happy ones. Reading poetry also provides comfort, as you discover that others have felt the same way.18. The rhythms and rhymes of poetry make information easier to remember. This is why song lyrics stick in our heads and why children learn the alphabet through rhymes. You can use simple poems to remember shopping lists, study key facts, or teach young children new concepts.Poetry also sharpens observation skills. A good poem asks you to notice small details — the way light falls on a table, the sound of footsteps in an empty hall. By reading or writing poetry regularly, you train yourself to pay closer attention to the world around you. 19.Instead of remaining on the page, poetry builds community. Sharing a poem at a family gathering, writing one for a friend’s birthday, or joining a local poetry reading group creates connections between people. 20. From love and loss to hope and gratitude, poetry speaks to every emotion that makes us human.By bringing poetry into daily life, you can find new ways to express yourself, connect with others, and see the world more clearly.A．In addition, poetry strengthens communication.B．Another practical application is memory and learning.C．Words may fail us in moments of joy, grief, or confusion.D．Poetry gives us a shared language for experiences that matter most.E．Even casual talks can be engaging when influenced by poetic thinking.F．In reality, poetry can enrich everyday life in practical and meaningful ways.G．This heightened insight can make ordinary moments richer and more meaningful.二、完形填空Three-year-old Heidi ran around the backyard when she knocked down a glass jar, which collapsed into pieces of glass.Heidi screamed and displayed a deep ________ 21 on her leg.

Inside rests an old pocket watch, another precious gift I received from him. My childhood was mostly accompanied by my grandfather, whose gentle love filled every ordinary day, telling me stories and showing me how to carve. Influenced by my grandfather, I also developed a keen interest in carving.Last month, I went to the city park to relax. I sat on a bench, enjoying the gentle wind and the sound of children laughing nearby. I took out the watch and held it in my hand, running my fingers over its scratched (有划痕的) surface, recalling my happy days spent with Grandpa.Suddenly, a little boy ran over, his eyes caught by my watch, totally attracted. “May I touch it ” I raised my head, smiled and passed it to him. Watching him showing such great affection for it, I began to teach him how to tell time and wind the watch. I also told him the story between my grandpa and I, and how important the watch was to me.To our surprise, we have something in common and he also enjoys carving. We chatted happily for a long time until it was getting dark. Unwilling to leave, we said goodbye to each other and left the park.Before going to bed, I realized that my watch was missing. Overwhelmed by panic, I rushed back to the park immediately. I searched every corner carefully, but all my efforts were in vain.With the precious watch lingering (萦绕) in my mind, I felt extremely bad, lying in bed, hard to fall asleep. Finally, I decided to take a chance, so I posted a LOST AND FOUND online, praying someone would give me a ray of hope.注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右;(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Early the next morning, a phone call broke my uneasy silence.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________From then on, we met at the park every weekend.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________阅读理解1-5 CBBAD 6-10 CBACD 11-15 ABDCC七选五16-20 FCBGD完形填空21-25 ADCBA 26-30 BCCAD 31-35 DBADC语法填空36.a 37.added bines 39.with 40.which41.audience’s 42.Facial 43.characteristics 44.to bring 45.demonstrating书面表达范文 46Integrity in Our CampusIntegrity is one of the most important virtues for every student.

Seeing the familiar watch in his hand, I felt relieved and thanked him sincerely.From then on, we met at the park every weekend. We often exchanged our carving works and shared skills with each other. The little boy was smart and eager to learn, so I taught him some simple carving techniques.
