Dear Student Union Committee,
As Wang Lei’s classmate and former teammate in our Grade 10 volunteer group, I am
qualified to recommend him based on our year-long collaboration. I witnessed his
exceptional organizational skills when he coordinated a campus recycling campaign. He
delegated tasks to 30 volunteers, resolved scheduling conflicts, and ensured all materials
were collected within 48 hours—demonstrating precise logistics management.
His ability to execute complex projects aligns perfectly with the Environmental
Minister role. For instance, he redesigned collection routes to improve efficiency by 40%,
proving he transforms plans into actionable solutions. Wang Lei doesn’t just lead; he
inspires teams toward sustainable goals.
I wholeheartedly endorse his application.(100 words)
Sincerely， Li Hua

示例一：
On the eve of Hong Kong's 1997 handover, Stanley Cheng prepares for a necessary,
reluctant departure to San Francisco. Sharing a final rooftop dinner overlooking Victoria
Harbour with his lifelong confidante, Mei Ling, their conversation is heavy with unspoken
sorrow for their shared past and the uncertain future. Stanley feels his forced exile not as
freedom, but as a painful "uprooting." Mei Ling gifts him a cassette recording of Hong
Kong's sounds, urging him to summon their last night when overcome by alienation abroad.
They acknowledge that no future splendour can eclipse the profound, bittersweet luminosity
of this farewell moment, illuminated by shared history and the painful awareness of an era
ending. Stanley realizes home is not a place, but this suspended moment itself. (118 words)
示例二：
Set on the eve of Hong Kong’s 1997 handover, Stanley Cheng shares a poignant
farewell with his childhood friend Mei Ling. Conflicted by his imminent move to San
Francisco, Stanley describes leaving as "uprooting"—a metaphor for his severed
connection to home. Their conversation at a harbor-side restaurant revisits shared
memories, while Mei Ling’s gift of a Hong Kong soundscape cassette symbolizes preserving
cultural identity in exile. The narrative climaxes under a waning crescent moon, where Mei
Ling argues that no future grandeur will rival "the luminosity of this hour," emphasizing
their bond’s irreplaceable weight. Stanley later realizes true "home" resides not in place,
but in this fleeting moment suspended between a lost past and an uncertain future. (120
words)

10.Users of Google Gemini, the tech giant’s artificial-intelligence model, recently noticed
that asking it to create images of Vikings, German soldiers from 1943 or America’s
Founding Fathers produced surprising results: hardly any of the people depicted were white.
Gemini had been programmed to show a range of ethnicities. Other image-generation tools
have been criticised because they tend to show white men when asked for images of
entrepreneurs or doctors. Google wanted Gemini to avoid this trap; instead, it fell into
another one, depicting George Washington as black and the pope as an Asian woman.Some
observers likened Gemini’s ahistorical diversity to “Hamilton” or “Bridgerton”. It seemed
that Google had merely made a well-meaning mistake. But it was a gift to the tech industry’
s right-wing critics. On February 22nd Google said it would halt the generation of images of
people while it rejigged Gemini. But by then attention had moved on to the chatbot’s text
responses, which turned out to be just as surprising.Gemini happily provided arguments in
favour of affirmative action in higher education, but refused to provide arguments against. It
declined to write a job ad for a fossil-fuel lobby group, because fossil fuels are bad and
lobby groups prioritise “the interests of corporations over public well-being”. Asked if
Hamas is a terrorist organisation, it replied that the conflict in Gaza is “complex”; asked if
Elon Musk’s tweeting of memes had done more harm than Hitler, it said it was “difficult to
say”. You do not have to be Ben Shapiro to discern a progressive bias.Inadequate testing
may be partly to blame. Google lags behind OpenAI, maker of the better-known ChatGPT
As it races to catch up, Google may have cut corners. Other chatbots have had controversial
launches. Releasing chatbots and letting users uncover odd behaviours, which can be
swiftly patched, lets firms move faster, provided they are prepared to weather the potential
risks and bad publicity, observes Ethan Mollick, a professor at Wharton Business
School.But Gemini has clearly been deliberately calibrated, or “fine-tuned”, to produce
these responses; they are not “hallucinations”, where a model makes things up. This raises
questions about Google’s culture. Is the firm so financially secure, with vast profits from
internet advertising, that it feels free to try its hand at social engineering Do some
employees think it has not just an opportunity, but an obligation, to use its reach and power
to promote a particular agenda That risks deterring users and provoking a political and
regulatory backlash. All eyes are now on Google’s boss, Sundar Pichai. He says Gemini is
being fixed. But does Google need fixing too

第一节（共 15 小题：每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
A
In order to hold weight, a recommendation letter should come from a respected source. You would
be a wonderful fit if you worked with the candidate in a supervisory position, say, a manager or boss of
some sort, for an employer always wants a professional reference. Occasionally, letters from a colleague,
a friend, neighbor, or family member will also do. And what elements should your recommendation
letter include to be effective
#1: Explaining Your Qualification
In the first paragraph, you should explain who you are, how you know the candidate and how long
you worked with him. In this way, you are showing that you’re much qualified to give an honest
assessment. Strong letters give positive descriptions of your qualifications in a concise and powerful way,
which creates a professional and trustworthy image of you.
#2: Being Customized to the New Position
While you should speak to the candidate’s accomplishments in his past role, you should also show
why he’d make a good fit in the next one. You should explain why he has the desired ability to do the job
well, and attach the greatest importance to this, even if the candidate’s making a career change. The
candidate should provide you with everything you need to know to customize your letter. By drawing on
this information, you can express confidence that the candidate will succeed in the new role. Then when
the hiring manager reads your letter, he’ll feel reassured that the candidate would make a good fit.
#3: Using Specific Examples
Finally, your letter should provide specific examples about the candidate. Don’t just list adjectives
like, “friendly, intelligent, and hard-working”; instead, present circumstances in which the
candidate demonstrated those qualities. Not only will examples point to the value the candidate brought
to your organization or company, but they’ll also paint a picture of how he works in day-to-day
operations. Using two to three specific examples in your letter will boost its level of persuasiveness.
21.Who are the intended readers of this passage
A. Assessors. B. Employers. C. Candidates. D. Recommenders.
22.According to the passage, a candidate’s _____________ is usually the most suitable to write a
recommendation letter.
A. powerful friend B. supervisory manager
C. respected neighbor D. trustworthy colleague
英语 第 2页 共 8 页
23.What should a writer put emphasis on in a recommendation letter
A. Presenting the reader with the candidate’s ability.
B. Exhibiting his knowledge about the new industry.
C. Customizing the letter with eye-catching drawings.
D. Showing the candidate’s intelligence with examples.
B
When disaster strikes a community, it is often critical that assistance be provided right away. The
best first responders are the people who call that area home. The Community Emergency Response Team
(CERT) program teaches civilians how to prepare themselves for dangers that might affect their
communities. Teams of volunteers are trained in basic skills such as fire safety and prevention, search
and rescue, and first aid. After training, these volunteers can begin to provide immediate assistance in the
consequence of disasters before professional rescuers arrive.
A CERT team can make a huge difference to a community. During the early stages of a disastrous
event, citizens will likely face extreme challenges on their own. Emergency services are usually
overwhelmed, and communities may be isolated because of blocked roads. A CERT team can size up the
situation in their neighborhood and provide help right away. In 1986, untrained volunteers saved more
than 800 lives in the Mexico City earthquake. Unfortunately, at least 100 volunteers also died in the
process. To ensure their community was better prepared in events like this, Los Angeles piloted the first
CERT program in 1986, and many cities followed their lead.
People of all ages can participate in a CERT program - there is even a teen program for adolescents.
Local CERT trainers hold an annual training class and provide subsequent classes throughout the year to
consolidate skills.
CERT programs are useful on many different levels. Volunteers are trained to act as eyes and ears,
locating trapped victims for uniformed emergency responders who arrive later. They learn to put out
small fires, shut off equipment, rescue survivors and provide basic medical treatment. Volunteers also
create disaster plans to evacuate families as well as collect and store disaster supplies such as water, food
and first-aid kits. Working with professionals, a CERT team can help reduce injuries, loss of life and
property damage.
There are now CERT programs throughout the United States, and more than 600,000 people have
trained as volunteers. Brazil, New Zealand and Turkey have similar programs. Citizens participate
because they believe that everyone in a community has a role in disaster preparedness. By working
competently as a team, CERT volunteers protect not only themselves but also the people around them
when disasters occur.
24.According to the passage, when do CERT members usually provide assistance
A.Before those unprofessional rescuers arrive.
B.When uniformed emergency responders arrive.
C.During the early stages of a disastrous event.
D.Throughout the process of rescue in a disaster.
25.The word "pilot" in the second paragraph most probably means __________.
A.answer B. imitate C. pass D. discuss
26.According to the passage, residents in the community in some countries are willing to be CERT
volunteers because __________.
A.they think each in the community is important in preventing and fighting against disaster
B.they believe everyone in the community has the responsibility in a sudden natural disaster
C.they think volunteers in the community can protect themselves and others in a disaster
D.they believe they can help victims earlier and more effectively than professional ones
英语 第 3页 共 8 页
27.What would be the proper title for the passage
A.CERT and professional rescue teams are important
B.CERT is a folk but helpful organization in America
C.Ordinary people can save lives in a natural disaster
D.Volunteers can effectively prevent a natural disaster
C
Echoes of a 1997 Harbour Night: A Farewell in Shadowed Times
The Victoria Harbour glittered below, its familiar sparkle now a disquieting reminder of all Stanley
Cheng was leaving behind. Seated at the rooftop restaurant, the savoury aroma of dai pai dong delicacies
mingled oddly with the scent of his leather suitcase. Tomorrow, he would board a flight not for
adventure, but for necessity – San Francisco. The imminent handover loomed like a storm cloud, forcing
choices that tasted of unspoken compromise.
Mei Ling, his confidante since their Kowloon childhood days, raised her teacup. Her smile, usually
radiant, seemed strained at the edges. "To your journey, Stanley," she offered, her voice thick with
unvoiced sorrow. "May the Golden Gate shine half as brightly as our harbour tonight." Stanley clung to
her words, a knot of emotions tightening in his throat. Their shared history – surviving typhoons,
cramming for exams under flickering neon, dreaming amidst the relentless energy of Nathan Road – felt
poignantly fragile now.
"Remember Wong Tai Sin last Mid-Autumn " Mei Ling’s question hung in the air.
"We released those lanterns, believing their flight mirrored our futures... boundless." Stanley
nodded, draining his jasmine tea to hide the involuntary tremor in his hand. The optimism of youth felt
like a distant echo. "Fate plays discordant tunes, Mei," he murmured, his gaze fixed on the ferries
crisscrossing the dark water.
"Leaving feels less like soaring, more like... uprooting."
Later, under the waning crescent moon, Mei Ling’s voice rose in a familiar melody – an old
Cantopop ballad about fleeting time and unwavering bonds. Stanley listened, transfixed. Each note
carved itself into his memory – the raucous city hum beneath them, the fragile warmth of shared
presence, the profound ache of impending separation. This wasn’t mere farewell; it was the dismantling
of a world.
Why This Night Held the Weight of a Thousand Tomorrows
As the final note faded, Mei Ling turned, her eyes reflecting the harbour lights.
"Stanley," she began, her voice laced with quiet intensity, "Time will pass. You'll hear countless
symphonies in concert halls across the ocean. You'll witness sunsets gilding the Pacific, constellations
unknown gracing foreign skies." She paused, her next words deliberate, heavy. "Yet, I venture to say, no
grandeur out there, no matter how dazzling, will eclipse the luminosity of this very hour. For this light,"
she gestured around them, "isn't cast by the moon alone, but by the shared history illuminating our
goodbye."
Stanley felt the sting of profound truth. Future marvels would be admired, perhaps enjoyed, but
always viewed through the lens of absence. This moment, steeped in shared sacrifice and tinged with
regret, held an irreplaceable resonance. Its beauty was inextricably bound to its pain, magnified by the
uncertainty of return.
A Fragile Pact Against the Tide of Change
Descending the Peak Tram for the last time, Mei Ling pressed a worn cassette into Stanley’s palm –
recordings of Hong Kong’s soundscape. "When the fog clings stubbornly to those San Francisco hills,"
she whispered, her composure finally fraying, "or when the sheer alienness of it all threatens to engulf
you... play this. Let the rain sound like our monsoon, the cable car bell like our trams. Summon this night.
Remember who we were here."
英语 第 4页 共 8 页
Stanley vowed solemnly, a lump rendering his voice hoarse. The path ahead promised isolation.
When, or if, the stars would align for a reunion remained shrouded in the mists of tomorrow. It was this
gnawing ambiguity that lent their final evening its excruciating preciousness. Standing alone later on his
hotel balcony, the harbour’s dwindling lights mirroring his receding home, Mei Ling’s conviction
resounded within him. No future splendour could wash away the imprint of this farewell – the
bittersweet symphony of belonging, loss, and the unyielding spirit of a home carried within. Its
perfection lay not in joy, but in the depth of feeling shared under a shared sky, one final time. Home, he
realised, was not a place, but a moment – this moment – suspended precariously between a cherished
past and an uncharted future.
28.When Mei Ling compares the Golden Gate Bridge to "our harbour tonight," why does this
comparison make the pain stronger
A. She is saying more than she means. B. She uses a part to represent the whole.
C. She uses an exaggerated irony. D. She gives an object a human feeling.
29.The cassette’s hidden weight lies in its power to
A. compress an entire city’s soundscape into exile’s pocket
B. predict the weather in San Francisco
C. erase the need for photographs
D. replace Cantonese tones with English vowels
30.In calling leaving “uprooting,” Stanley reveals the core conflict between
A. personal ambition and filial duty B. fixed place and floating identity
C. romance and career D. memory and imagination
31.The waning crescent moon over the harbour silently measures
A. the shrinking time before reunion B. the fading light of a collective era
C. the exact hour of departure D. the waxing hope of return
D
What is subjectively experienced as deliberate choice emerges, beyond doubt, from neural
machinery operating unseen. That we feel ourselves to be choosing freely stands in stark contrast to what
brain science reveals: actions supposedly decided by us are, in reality, predetermined by self-governing
neural sequences. Predictable patterns in firing neurons—detected by scanners up to 10 seconds before
conscious awareness of any decision arises—demonstrate this. Not only simple reflexes(膝跳反应) but
also those complex judgments we believe to be carefully constructed share, as rigorous studies confirm,
identical automatic characteristics, differing merely in their neural architecture.
Initiation of this process occurs where emotions originate: within the amygdala, dual
almond-shaped formations(杏仁状核) buried in the brain's depths. Sensory data streaming in are, with
lightning speed, assigned emotional significance by this structure. Signals radiating outward then
generate primal impulses—to flee, combat, immobilize, or grasp—dictated by the amygdala's appraisal
of stimuli encountered.
Prior to action taking place, however, modification of these signals by conscious thought systems
ordinarily occurs. Regions dedicated to recognition perform object identification; those handling memory
retrieve analogous past events; zones governing logic, evaluation, and foresight jointly formulate
potential responses. Selection and implementation of the optimal strategy follow, assuming unimpaired
functioning—breakdowns in which result either in hesitation or erroneous behavior.
Distinctive to each decision phase are specific brain wave patterns. Gamma waves (25-100
cycles/second), by which heightened consciousness of multiple relevant factors is produced, dominate
initial stages. During sandwich selection, for instance, gamma activity within gustatory areas
simultaneously activates and contrasts remembered tastes of ham, chickpea paste, whole-grain bread,
fermented dough, etc. Paradoxically, though comprehensive option awareness appears beneficial,
英语 第 5页 共 8 页
decisional efficiency is inversely affected by information overload, causing unconscious dismissal of
peripheral elements.
Thereafter observed is a critical transition: beta waves (12-30 cycles/second) become predominant,
suppressing most gamma activity. Left isolated is but one gamma cluster, signifying the neural
commitment made.
While no external controller directs these mechanisms, improvement in decision quality can be
achieved through environmental manipulation. Engagement in mentally or physically stimulating
activities immediately beforehand facilitates gamma wave generation, thereby enhancing conscious
representation of competing alternatives. Excessive excitement, conversely, obstructs the essential shift
to beta dominance, rendering singular option isolation profoundly difficult.
32. Why does the writer mention “knee-jerk reactions” in the first paragraph
A．To introduce the finding of the latest brain imaging studies.
B．To illustrate that decisions are not consciously thought out.
C．To call attention to a kind of neural reaction that is not very complex.
D．To show the difference between decision-making and other brain activity.
33.What does the amygdala do according to the passage
A．It works out conscious thoughts and emotions.
B．It selects the best action plan for a given situation.
C．It dismisses factors that are irrelevant to the decision to be made.
D．It processes sensory information and generates emotional responses.
34.What can be concluded from paragraphs 4 and 5
A．Slow-wave activity usually lasts longer than fast-wave activity.
B．The brain prioritizes information before settling on a final choice.
C．Decision-making is difficult when slow-wave activity occurs first.
D．The brain needs as much information as possible to make a decision.
35.How does engaging in stimulating activities help the decision-making process
A．By preparing the brain to single out the most reasonable choice.
B．By helping the brain switch to slow-wave activity more quickly.
C．By getting the brain to focus on those most relevant alternatives.
D．By making the brain more aware of the factors and choices involved.

The discourse on universal values, which has unfolded across millennia, carries a history marked by
intricate twists and unresolved tensions. While ancient ethical frameworks, emerging from both Chinese
and Greek intellectual traditions, envisioned a unified system of moral principles, such visions remained
confined within regional boundaries that stifled their global resonance. 36._________ It was not until the
Enlightenment that thinkers, drawing upon rationalist philosophies, crystallized concepts of rights around
the twin pillars of liberty and equality, embedding these ideals in revolutionary charters that would later
shape modern political systems. 37._________ This inherent contradiction—between universal
aspirations and cultural particularism—intensified throughout the 20th century. Even as the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) emerged as a symbol of global consensus, 38._________ The
Vienna Declaration, crafted in response to this ideological impasse, sought a middle ground by
acknowledging the legitimacy of cultural distinctiveness within the broader framework of universal
norms. Contemporary debates, which continue to reverberate in academic and political spheres, reflect
this enduring dialectic between unity and diversity. 39._________ Amidst these debates, philosopher
Kwame Appiah’s concept of "contamination" offers a compelling path forward: 40._________
英语 第 6页 共 8 页
A. Globalization, which dismantled geographical barriers and facilitated cross-cultural exchange,
later exposed the limitations of these parochial visions that had once seemed self-sufficient.
B. It suggests that authentic universality, far from arising from enforced uniformity, emerges
through the organic hybridization of disparate value systems that engage in dialogue rather than
confrontation.
C. The 1993 Vienna Declaration, contrary to its intended purpose, marked a regression by
prioritizing cultural diversity at the expense of fundamental human rights.
D. The institutionalization of rights through the UDHR, rather than resolving conflicts,
unexpectedly perpetuated longstanding ideological disagreements that divided global communities.
E. Enlightenment ideals thus bore a dual legacy: they held emancipatory potential to liberate
individuals from oppressive structures, yet they also carried the imprint of Eurocentric hegemony that
sidelined alternative worldviews.
F. Critics have rightly asserted that current universal norms, despite their claims to inclusivity,
remain disproportionately shaped by Western paradigms that reflect the historical dominance of
European powers.
G. Cold War politics, which fractured the post-war global order, shattered this fragile unity by

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。
Common water plant could provide a green energy source. Scientists have figured out how to get
large amounts of oil from duckweed, one of nature’s fastest-growing water plants. Transferring such
plant oil into biodiesel (生物柴油) for transportation and 56.__________(heat) could be a big part of a
more sustainable future.
For a new study, researcher genetically engineered duckweed plants to produce seven times more
oil per acre than soybeans. John Shanklin, a biochemist says further research could double the
57.__________(engineer) duckweed’s oil output in the next few years.
Biofuels, which are distinct from fossil fuels 58.__________ form underground, possess
renewability whereas their consumption rate 59.__________(exceed) by regeneration speed. Lower
carbon footprints compared to those produced by fossil fuels can be achieved by fuels sourced from both
unused and recycled vegetable oils, animal fat, alongside seaweed sources. Nevertheless, negative
perceptions have been increasingly directed toward them recently. This 60.__________(criticize) is
partly attributed to the reality that substantial crop 61.__________(volume) are now diverted toward
energy production instead of food supplies, while over 100 million acres of global agricultural land are
occupied by biofuel cultivation.
Duckweed, common on every continent but Antarctica, is among the world’s most productive plants
and the researchers suggest it could be a game-changing renewable energy source for three key reasons.
First, it grows 62.__________(ready) in water, so it wouldn’t compete with food crops for agricultural
land. Second, duckweed can grow fast in agricultural pollution released into the water. Third, Shanklin
and his team found a way to avoid a major biotechnological barrier. For 63.__________ new study,
Shanklin says, the researchers added an oil-producing gene, “turning it on like a light switch”
64.__________ introducing a particular molecule only when the plant had finished growing.
To expand production to industrial levels, scientists will need to design and produce large-scale
bases for growing engineered plants and obtaining oil a challenge. Shanklin says, 65.__________
duckweed is a non-mainstream crop without much existing infrastructure.
