One sunny afternoon，they decided to see a real match.Pushing the wheelchair for miles，they joked and dreamed under the blue sky.When they finally arrived，they discovered none of them had brought enough money for tickets.Instead of disappointment，they burst out laughing.Sitting outside the stadium，they invented their own commentary for the roars and applause of the crowd，creating a story even better than the real game.

（7.5分）   ①Dameisha Beach，11th October 2025—Shenzhen's night sky witnessed a surprising"ballet"of light.Thousands of drones took off at the same time，forming changing images of flying doves and the Chinese flag against the night sky.This breathtaking display showed not only the city's technological strength but also the remarkable journey of drone technology—from the battlefield to the city sky.

②The beginning of drones dates back to the early 2000s，when they were first made as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles（UAVs）to gather information for the army.At that time，heavy and expensive drones were used to look around dangerous zones，reducing risks for soldiers.As key technologies became better and costs dropped，drones gradually moved from special military applications to the public world.

③This change has opened up many possibilities.Drones are no longer limited to the skies.Farmers use them for monitoring crop growth，allowing exact fertilization（施肥）and watering；logistics（物流）companies use them for express delivery in remote areas；and engineers depend on them for safety checks of bridges and power lines.The drone has developed into a many﹣talented"flying assistant."

④Looking ahead，drone technology holds even greater potential.With the mixing of 5 G and artificial intelligence，drones may form intelligent networks to take on more difficult tasks，such as managing traffic during emergencies or helping in rapid mapping of disaster﹣stricken areas.While challenges like safety rules and noise control remain，drones are set to become a more important part of smart city development.

⑤The Dameisha's sky ballet not only celebrated a festival but also offered the public an easy﹣to﹣understand look into technological progress.From a practical tool to a form of artistic expression，the story of drones continues to be written.

46. What was the use of drones when they were first made？  

A.Entertainment and light shows.

B.Farm monitoring.

C.Military information﹣gathering.

D.Bridge safety check.

47. According to the passage，which statement is TRUE about drone technology？  

A.Drones are still too expensive for public use.

B.Drones performed a ballet dance on Dameisha Beach.

C.Drones used to serve in fields like logistics and safety check.

D.Drones are now used in fields like farming and logistics.

48. How does the passage introduce the topic of drone technology？  

A.By describing a real﹣life event.

B.By listing technical challenges.

C.By comparing drones to traditional aircraft.

D.By discussing government rules on drones.

49. What is a likely future development for drones according to the passage？  

A.They will displace all human jobs.

B.They will form intelligent networks for tasks.

C.They will be stopped using due to safety worries.

D.They will only be used for artistic performances.

50. Which of the following best shows the structure of this passage？

第二节 短文填空 根据短文内容，从下列六个句子中选出五句填入文中空缺处，使短文内容通顺、完整。

（10分）

We make decisions every day，from simple choices like what to eat for lunch to important ones like which high school to enter.But sometimes it can be hard to make the correct decision.51

Perfectionism

52According to Alice Boyes，a writer for Harvard Business Review，this difficulty can be related to perfectionism.Perfectionists try to find the best solution to every problem.53There are also other difficulties perfectionism creates with decision﹣making.For example，they set unrealistic expectations and fear uncertainty，which makes deciding very hard.

Bias（偏见）

According to Professor Susan Krauss，people often let personal bias affect our choices.54 For example，self﹣serving bias leads us to choose what makes us feel good about ourselves，even if it's not the best for others.Authority（权威）bias happens when we trust someone just because they are an authority character，even if others might have better ideas.Confirmation bias happens when we only listen to ideas that match our own.

Intelligence

David Robson，a science writer，points out that smart people sometimes use their intelligence to support their unreasonable beliefs.They might ignore information that challenges their views.Robson believes that humility（谦逊）is the key to making a good decision.55That's because they consider different views.
