On a bright morning in Beijing, young Mei Lin was on her way to the park with excitement. In her arms was a doll, not just any doll, but one her late grandfather had given her. This doll, with its soft smile and warm, comforting eyes, was Mei Lin’s treasure, a good reminder of her grandfather’s love.

However, a terrible thing happened when Mei Lin returned home. The doll, usually held safely in her arms, was gone. Panic and a deep sadness washed over her as she realized her treasured partner must have slipped out of her hands during her park visit. Heartbroken, Mei Lin couldn’t help but feel a part of her grandfather’s memory had disappeared with the doll.

As the evening light began to fall, Mei Lin’s home was filled with a heavy silence. Her mother, with a heart equally heavy, wrapped her arms around Mei Lin tightly. “Remember, my dear, the love your grandfather had for you is not gone. It lives in every memory, every story, and even now, it surrounds us,” she whispered gently. “This doll is a symbol, but your grandfather’s love is eternal (永恒的). We will do everything we can to find it, I promise you.”

The next day, they retraced (沿原路返回) their steps back to the park. Together, they examined every path and bench carefully, and their eyes searched every corner, but their efforts were in vain (徒劳的). The doll was nowhere to be found.

Refusing to give up, Mei Lin’s mother asked the park’s staff for help. Understanding the great value of the lost doll, they took immediate action. One park employee immediately turned to social media for help. He shared Mei Lin’s story accompanied by a heartfelt request, “Lost treasure: a beloved doll given by a loving grandfather having passed away. If found, please help restore a piece of a young girl’s heart.”

The response was immediate and touching. Words of comfort and offers of help flooded in, showing Mei Lin and her mother the kindness and care from strangers.

2 . We’re always hoping something magical will come along to throw us to good health—some super food or new exercise trend.     1     It’s what we eat, how we move, how much we sleep, and how much we manage stress and social connection that can really make a difference.

    2     For those of you who don’t like the gym, you may get yourself moving, too. A garden pushes you to weed and water and harvest almost every day. That keeps you moving. Also, instead of lying on chairs or sofas, spend more time on the floor, either sitting or squatting (蹲).

Manage your social circle. Research has shown just how contagious(传染的) our habits are to people around. When one of your old friends has some unhealthy habits, they’re probably influencing you in the wrong way. If you aim to live a healthier life, you are more likely to achieve if those around you are committed, too.    3    

Have a short nap(打盹). Once you clock in to work in the workdays, there’s so much keeping you busy. To push through these busy days, it’s common to turn to coffee rather than slow down your pace. There is an alternative: a short sleep for as little as 20 minutes in the afternoon. Taking a nap after lunch is an age-old tradition.    4     However, the most recent science shows that a 20-minute sleep can make up for an hour of lost sleep and helps keep you sharp later in the day.

There’s no single change to create a culture of health.    5     That can help push people toward better choices and make the healthier choice the easiest.

A．Plant a garden in your backyard.

B．But the reality is much more ordinary.

C．Just join the groups that side with you.

D．You can do this in your social circle as well.

E．Modern life has pushed it to near extinction.

F．Build movement into your everyday routines.

G．Moving the needle requires dozens of small steps.

3 . 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。

Uncle Johnny first showed up at our door one day, which came as quite a shock to us. We had heard a lot about Uncle Johnny from both Mom and Dad, but we never really believed that he existed. I mean we never saw him. He never called or sent us anything by mail, and his adventures always sounded too good to be true.

It was just so hard to believe that all of those amazing things could happen to just one man. I mean, how many people do you know that have been chased by fierce lions in the African jungle while they are traveling alone, lived with the Eskimos at the North Pole where the cold temperature may freeze a person, owned a kangaroo farm in Australia, and flown a hot air balloon across the Atlantic all by oneself?

We loved all the stories, but thought that our parents were trying to teach us about other parts of the world by the many adventures of Uncle Johnny. In our inner minds, Uncle Johnny was an imaginary person, who didn't exist at all. That’s why we were very surprised when he actually showed up at our door.

Uncle Johnny’s sudden appearance brought us excitement and curiosity. He was a tall, rugged man with a thick beard, and his eyes sparkled with the tales of his travels. Over the next few days, Uncle Johnny became a focus in our eyes. He taught us how to tie knots (结) used by sailors, showed us maps with his routes highlighted in bold colors, and even attempted to teach us a few words of the languages he had picked up along the way. We were deeply fascinated by his personality and the depth of his experiences.

5 . 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

Alan had loved poetry since fourth grade. In his spare time, he would sit alone, absorbed in creating a poem, carefully designing its content and sound. More often than not, he would read poems with full emotion and a beautiful voice, which brought him spiritual pleasure.

However, when he turned 13, he was going through puberty. Puberty is when kids start to become mature and experience many physical and emotional changes. Alan already hit his growth spurt (成长高峰期). He was very tall. Now, he was just waiting for his voice to deepen. Before the voice deepens, it will crack (破裂) and sound high-pitched (尖锐的).

In Alan’s English class, his teacher would have students do “Popcorn Reading”. Popcorn Reading is when one student reads and then calls on another student to continue reading. Alan was eventually called on. He started to read the sentence. He noticed that his voice came out all high-pitched. It sounded like he had a sore throat. His classmates started laughing at him. “What happened to your voice?” they joked. Alan was so embarrassed. He sunk into his chair and put his jacket hood over his head.

After class, the teacher went to Alan to talk to him. The teacher said Alan should not feel embarrassed. Voice cracking happens to everyone. Alan still felt pretty bad about it. For the next few days, word got around about Alan’s voice. People kept asking him to talk, but Alan wouldn’t. He just stayed quiet. Even when teachers called on him to read or asked him a question, he just wrote it down. Even for his love for poems, Allan just kept creating, but dared not to read them out.

One afternoon, his teacher called him into his office, and said with a smile, “Alan, to celebrate the coming Thanksgiving Day, our school decides to organise an activity presenting shows with dancing and singing. All the students will join in it. Could you write a poem and read it on the event?”

6 . 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Chengdu is a nice lively city with a busy street life which people always find amusing. If you are traveling to Chengdu with children, a stop at one of the Giant Pnda Reserves will be     1     you must try. But that’s not all there is to see for children.

Kids will also enjoy     2    (take) a walk around ancient Jin Li Street, with its colorful market atmosphere, temples, the river and bridges. Stop at the teahouses, enjoy the markets, and try some    3    (taste) Sichuan dishes. Just around     4     corner you will find all sorts of Tibetan clothes and cultural objects, different from the usual souvenirs     5    (find) throughout China.

In addition, Chengdu can     6    (use) as a base for many one-day hikes in Sichuan Province. Besides the Giant Pandas,     7     the city is well-known for, there will be plenty to keep the kids busy in this area.     8    (certain), it is worth staying for a few days if you have the time.

Chengdu is also considered the gateway for travel into Tibet. Sichuan Province itself has a large Tibetan population and offers plenty     9     opportunities for interacting with minority cultures. Children can enjoy and learn from these     10    (encounter) here.

7 . Over 200 musicians have jointly penned an open letter, urging AI developers not to use AI that infringes (侵犯) upon the rights of human artists, and requesting commitments to stop developing related AI music producing technologies.

The letter stresses the irresponsible use of AI, such as reducing royalties (版税) to artists by employing AI voices and using musical works without permission. Indeed, the problem of copyright infringement in the music industry has caused concerns in many countries, including China. In 2023, a well-known Singaporean singer topped trending lists on Chinese social media after users uploaded AI-produced songs using her voice. This later caused the heated discussion-whether AI music creators should be accused of using other artists’ works without permission.

Compared to the grassroots use of AI technology, the shockwaves caused by large companies are even more significant. In the US, tech giants like YouTube have begun testing AI music production tools. Recently, the AI music producing software Suno released its V3 version and made it available for users to produce songs about two minutes in length simply by providing basic text clues. In China, a domestic AI music producing software business has rapidly emulated them and released its first model “Tiangong Sky Music”, capable of producing 80-second and two-channel songs.

Although tools like Suno lower the barrier for music creation, they are unlikely to entirely replace professional musicians, especially talented ones, as music is an expression of human artistic creation. The value of music lies not only in melody and rhythm but also in the story and emotion behind it, elements that current AI technology struggles to fully copy.

Sacrificing and infringing upon the rights of artists, which leads to the damage of the music ecosystem, is unacceptable. Relevant authorities need to set up regulations to help enhance legal systems.

1. Why was the singer mentioned in paragraph 2?

A．To highlight her popularity.	B．To arouse a heated discussion.
C．To display viral AI music works.	D．To show a copyright damage case.

2. What does the underlined word “emulated” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Followed.

B．Overlooked.

C．Assessed.

D．Criticized.

3. What is a feature of AI music producing tools?

A．Creating human artistic stories.	B．Lacking ability of emotion expression.
C．Struggling in melody and rhythm.	D．Clearing barriers for music production.

4. What is the author’s attitude towards AI music producing tools?

A．Supportive.

B．Optimistic.

C．Unfavorable.

D．Indifferent.
