As a science teacher, I am always looking for creative ways to engage my students and make learning fun. One of my most memorable experiences involved an egg, a bottle, and a group of curious 4th graders.
We were learning about air pressure, and I had planned a simple experiment to demonstrate (展示) the concept, I brought a hard-boiled egg, a glass bottle with a narrow neck, and a small piece of paper. The objective was to get the egg inside the bottle without breaking it. I gathered my students around the table and asked them how they thought it could be done. The children shared their ideas, and we discussed the scientific reasons behind each suggestion. It was fascinating to see their minds at work, trying to solve the problem.
Then, I lit the piece of paper on fire and dropped it into the bottle. As the flame consumed the oxygen inside, the air pressure decreased. I quickly placed the egg on top of the bottle, and to the amazement of my students, the egg was sucked inside. The room was filled with gasps and excited chatter, as the children marveled (惊叹) at the demonstration. This simple experiment sparked (引发) their curiosity and reinforced the concept of air pressure in a fun and memorable way.
Looking back, I feel deeply grateful for moments like these, where the joy of learning comes alive in the classroom. It’s not just about teaching a subject, but about fueling a spark of curiosity and a love for discovery in every student. These moments are what truly make teaching a rewarding career, as they remind me of why I chose to become a teacher — to inspire and guide the next generation of explorers on their journey towards knowledge and understanding.
4. Why did the author do the experiment?
A. To visually explain what air pressure is.
B. To teach students how to cook with eggs.
C. To entertain the students with a magic trick.
D. To find out which students were the most curious.
5. How did the students respond to the author’s question?
A. They were confused about the question.
B. They showed no interest in the experiment.
C. They actively talked and exchanged views.
D. They lowered their heads and did their homework.
6. Which words can best describe the author’s experiment?
A. Dangerous and boring. B. Amazing and educational.
C. Interesting but useless. D. Enjoyable but worthless.
7. What is the best title for the text?

C. Sparking Curiosity: An Unexpected Failure
D Exploring Air Pressure: A Memorable Lesson
C
A new study conducted among nearly 500, 000 individuals found an association between black tea consumption and a moderately (适度) lower death risk. Findings were published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, According to results, the death risk was lowest among individuals who drink two cups of black tea or more per day.
Tea is one of the most popular beverages around the world and previous research has shown a link between green tea consumption and the lower death risk. To better understand any associations in populations that primarily consume black tea, researchers assessed all-cause and cause-specific death of 498,043 individuals between the ages 40 and 69 included in the U. K. Biobank.
Participants completed the baseline questionnaire between 2006 and 2010 and were followed up with for an average of 11.2 years. Eighty-five percent of participants reported regularly drinking tea, of whom 89 percent reported consuming black tea. Compared with individuals who did not consume tea, these participants had a 9 to 13 percent lower death risk.
The association remained even after researchers adjusted for participants’ coffee consumption, or milk or sugar added to tea. Tea temperature at the point of consumption also did not change results. “These findings suggest that tea, even at higher levels of intake, can be part of a healthy diet,” authors wrote.
“Tea is rich in bioactive elements that can reduce stress and inflammation (炎症), but people shouldn’t change how many cups of tea to drink every day because of these results.” said study co-author Maki Inoue - Choi, an epidemiologist (流行病学家) at the National Cancer Institute, in a statement to TIME, “Because this study was observational in nature, randomized clinical trials are needed to prove black tea consumption causes a lower death risk.”
8. The focus of the new research was to ______
A. analyze tea consumption patterns globally.
B. determine death causes among tea drinkers.
C. compare health benefits of black and green tea.
D. explore the link between black tea and death risk.
9. How does the author mainly organize the third paragraph?
A. By providing related data,
B. By comparing different types of tea.
C. By presenting previous research findings.
D. By discussing the participants’ experiences.
10. What can we learn from Maki Inoue-Choi’s words?
A. People should drink less tea every day.
B. Scientists tend to prefer black tea to green tea.
C. More work needs to be done to prove the study result.
D. People should adjust their tea intake based on the study.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing this text?
A. To sell more tea products. B. To report on a new study.
C. To show the research methods. D. To encourage people to drink tea.
D
For young children, impulse (冲动) control and self-regulation at school can affect how well they are learning. A team of researchers based in Germany and Switzerland wanted to test whether self-regulation could be taught in a way that was easily integrated (融入) into the curriculum. In their paper published in Nature Human Behaviour, researchers detail an experiment that took place during a full school year with a follow-up three years later.
Self-regulation can be defined as the ability to regulate attention, emotion and behavior to pursue individual goals, according to the authors.
In this study, researchers trained teachers to deliver a training module for first graders that helped them think through processes like overcoming obstacles (障碍) to reach a goal. The module was taught over five weeks, each lesson being about 50 minutes.
For example, in one story, a character named Hurdy thinks about climbing to the top of a mountain and identifies the obstacles in his path. He overcomes the obstacles and thinks about how he achieved his goal while enjoying the views at the top. There’s another similar story specifically about reading.
Some first-grade classes were taught this module, called the “mental contrasting with implementation (实施) intentions” (MCII), while others received their regular curriculum without this module.
Students who had been taught the MCII module showed improvement in academic skills like reading. They performed better on reading tests, had better reading ability and were better at finding careless mistakes based on a teacher’s assessments. The effect was smaller early after the module but trended upwards six months and about a year after they were taught the MCII module. These students were also more likely to be admitted into an advanced secondary school track three years later.
There were some caveats to the study, one being that some of the teachers were not blinded to whether the students received the MCII training or not. This could have affected their assessments of the students’ abilities. There may have also been differences in the teachers’ abilities in teaching the module material.
12. Why are the stories mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To tell interesting stories. B. To show different teaching methads.
C. To show how MCII works in real life. D. To give background information on MCII.
13. What is the sixth paragraph centred on?
A. The research findings. B. The research purpose.
C. The research process. D. The research participants.
14. What does the underlined word “caveats” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Conditions. B. Challenges. C. Limitations. D. Exceptions.
15. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A travel brochure. B. A scientific journal. C. A health magazine. D. A personal blog.

A great poem can be there for you. It can help you process sadness, anger or fear. But if you haven’t strengthened your poetry muscle for a while, those feelings might be a little hard to tap into. ____16____
Read it out loud
Poetry is an oral art form before anything else. And a lot of information can be gained from reading poems out loud.

These brain pictures will reflect whatever you seem to be getting out of the poem.

Instead, ask yourself some questions to get at what you think of the poem. What overall impression do you get? ____19____ What do you feel? Most of us do get these kinds of overall impressions. We are left with something. Whatever it is, trust it.
Don’t approach poetry like you’re in school
The way poetry is taught in school can be a barrier to entry. People are taught that the way to connect with a poem is by trying to understand it, master it and write an essay about it. ____20____ So rest easy as you read a poem — there’s no quiz at the end!
A. What colors would you use?
B. What ideas float around in your mind?
C. That might help you find a common theme.
D. It may help further your understanding of the poem.

“Did you say all?” “Yes, all.” The tickets were purchased. The flights were ____33____.The lodge was booked.
To ease any ____34____, she sent me a link to watch a reporter taking her first ride with the company.

47. 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。
My students were already talking about Christmas plans, even though it was only October. With each day passing, everyone became more anxious, waiting for the final school bell. As soon as the bell rang, everyone would rush for their coats and go home, everyone except David.
David was a small boy in ragged (破烂的) clothes. I had often wondered what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed in so unsuitable clothes for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David special. I can still remember he was always wearing a smile and ready to help. He always stayed after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. After he finished cleaning, he would just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly head for his home.
Weeks passed and the excitement grew into restlessness (坐立不安) with the coming Christmas until the last day of school before the holiday break. I smiled with relief when the last of them hurried out of the door. Turning around, I saw David quietly standing by my desk.
“I have something for you,” he said and took out a small box from behind his back.He handed it to me and he said worriedly, “Open it.” I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped (打开) it. I lifted the lid but to my surprise, nothing was there. I looked at David’s smiling face and looked back into the box and said, “The box is nice, David, but it’s empty.”
“Oh no, it isn’t,” said David. “It’s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love is something that you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there.”
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。
Tears welled up in my eyes.

As a science teacher, I am always looking for creative ways to engage my students and make learning fun. One of my most memorable experiences involved an egg, a bottle, and a group of curious 4th graders.
We were learning about air pressure, and I had planned a simple experiment to demonstrate (展示) the concept, I brought a hard-boiled egg, a glass bottle with a narrow neck, and a small piece of paper. The objective was to get the egg inside the bottle without breaking it. I gathered my students around the table and asked them how they thought it could be done. The children shared their ideas, and we discussed the scientific reasons behind each suggestion. It was fascinating to see their minds at work, trying to solve the problem.
Then, I lit the piece of paper on fire and dropped it into the bottle. As the flame consumed the oxygen inside, the air pressure decreased. I quickly placed the egg on top of the bottle, and to the amazement of my students, the egg was sucked inside. The room was filled with gasps and excited chatter, as the children marveled (惊叹) at the demonstration. This simple experiment sparked (引发) their curiosity and reinforced the concept of air pressure in a fun and memorable way.
Looking back, I feel deeply grateful for moments like these, where the joy of learning comes alive in the classroom. It’s not just about teaching a subject, but about fueling a spark of curiosity and a love for discovery in every student. These moments are what truly make teaching a rewarding career, as they remind me of why I chose to become a teacher — to inspire and guide the next generation of explorers on their journey towards knowledge and understanding.

A new study conducted among nearly 500, 000 individuals found an association between black tea consumption and a moderately (适度) lower death risk. Findings were published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, According to results, the death risk was lowest among individuals who drink two cups of black tea or more per day.
Tea is one of the most popular beverages around the world, and previous research has shown a link between green tea consumption and the lower death risk. To better understand any associations in populations that primarily consume black tea, researchers assessed all-cause and cause-specific death of 498,043 individuals between the ages 40 and 69 included in the U. K. Biobank.
Participants completed the baseline questionnaire between 2006 and 2010 and were followed up with for an average of 11.2 years. Eighty-five percent of participants reported regularly drinking tea, of whom 89 percent reported consuming black tea. Compared with individuals who did not consume tea, these participants had a 9 to 13 percent lower death risk.
The association remained even after researchers adjusted for participants’ coffee consumption, or milk or sugar added to tea. Tea temperature at the point of consumption also did not change results. “These findings suggest that tea, even at higher levels of intake, can be part of a healthy diet,” authors wrote.
“Tea is rich in bioactive elements that can reduce stress and inflammation (炎症), but people shouldn’t change how many cups of tea to drink every day because of these results.” said study co-author Maki Inoue - Choi, an epidemiologist (流行病学家) at the National Cancer Institute, in a statement to TIME, “Because this study was observational in nature, randomized clinical trials are needed to prove black tea consumption causes a lower death risk.”
8. The focus of the new research was to ______
A. analyze tea consumption patterns globally.
B. determine death causes among tea drinkers.
C. compare health benefits of black and green tea.
D explore the link between black tea and death risk.
9. How does the author mainly organize the third paragraph?
A. By providing related data,
B. By comparing different types of tea.
C. By presenting previous research findings.
D. By discussing the participants’ experiences.
10. What can we learn from Maki Inoue-Choi’s words?
A. People should drink less tea every day.
B. Scientists tend to prefer black tea to green tea.
C. More work needs to be done to prove the study result.
D. People should adjust their tea intake based on the study.

For young children, impulse (冲动) control and self-regulation at school can affect how well they are learning. A team of researchers based in Germany and Switzerland wanted to test whether self-regulation could be taught in a way that was easily integrated (融入) into the curriculum. In their paper published in Nature Human Behaviour, researchers detail an experiment that took place during a full school year with a follow-up three years later.
Self-regulation can be defined as the ability to regulate attention, emotion and behavior to pursue individual goals, according to the authors.
In this study, researchers trained teachers to deliver a training module for first graders that helped them think through processes like overcoming obstacles (障碍) to reach a goal. The module was taught over five weeks, each lesson being about 50 minutes.
For example, in one story, a character named Hurdy thinks about climbing to the top of a mountain and identifies the obstacles in his path. He overcomes the obstacles and thinks about how he achieved his goal while enjoying the views at the top. There’s another similar story specifically about reading.
Some first-grade classes were taught this module, called the “mental contrasting with implementation (实施) intentions” (MCII), while others received their regular curriculum without this module.
Students who had been taught the MCII module showed improvement in academic skills like reading. They performed better on reading tests, had better reading ability and were better at finding careless mistakes based on a teacher’s assessments. The effect was smaller early after the module but trended upwards six months and about a year after they were taught the MCII module. These students were also more likely to be admitted into an advanced secondary school track three years later.
There were some caveats to the study, one being that some of the teachers were not blinded to whether the students received the MCII training or not. This could have affected their assessments of the students’ abilities. There may have also been differences in the teachers’ abilities in teaching the module material.
12. Why are the stories mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To tell interesting stories. B. To show different teaching methads.
C. To show how MCII works in real life. D. To give background information on MCII.
13. What is the sixth paragraph centred on?
A. The research findings. B. The research purpose.
C. The research process. D. The research participants.
14. What does the underlined word “caveats” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Conditions. B. Challenges. C. Limitations. D. Exceptions.
15. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A travel brochure. B. A scientific journal. C. A health magazine. D. A personal blog.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. B

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了清朝时期因丝绸贸易而富有的南浔水乡,以及今天中国在全球丝绸市场中的重要地位。
【36题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:位于长江三角洲杭嘉湖平原的南浔水乡,在清朝时期是中国最富有的城镇之一,这主要得益于它在丝绸生产和贸易中的作用。根据句意和空格前的“one of the”可知,此处应使用形容词rich的最高级形式richest,表示“最富有的”,作定语修饰名词towns。故填richest。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:几千年前,中国是世界上唯一生产丝绸的地方。空处引导定语从句,先行词place被the only修饰,指物,关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语,故应用关系代词that引导。故填that。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:即使这个国家开始通过丝绸之路将丝绸出口到世界各地,丝绸的生产方法仍然是一个严密保守的秘密。根据句意和空格后的“guarded”可知,此处应使用副词closely (严密地)作状语,修饰动词guarded。故填closely。
【39题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意:然而,随着时间的推移,其他一些世界大国还是得到了他们梦寐以求的蚕丝卵。空处修饰名词hands,应用形容词性物主代词their,表示“他们的”,构成固定短语get one’s hands on sth.“成功地获得或获取某物”。故填their。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:虽然秘密泄露了,中国不再垄断全球丝绸生产,但富人仍然转向中国购买高端奢侈丝绸。turn to sb./sth. for sth. 是固定搭配,意为“向某人/某物寻求某物”,故填for。
【41题详解】
考查with的复合结构。句意:同样的情况至今仍然存在,中国仍控制着全球四分之三的市场份额。此处为with复合结构,宾语China与非谓语动词control之间为主动关系,应用现在分词controlling作宾语补足语。故填controlling。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它们的战略位置也靠近中国的大运河,这条全长1800公里的人造水道从北京一直延伸到杭州。all the way为固定搭配,意为“一直,一路上”,故填the。
【43题详解】
考查结果状语从句。句意:在清朝时期,生意非常兴隆,以至于南浔水乡甚至是一些全国最富有和最有权势的家庭的所在地。so... that...引导结果状语从句,意为“如此……以至于……”,故填so。
【44题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:他们的豪华住宅和花园,大部分都是用中西合璧的独特建筑风格建造的,目前由镇上维护并向游客开放。空格处是定语从句的谓语动词,which指代先行词houses and gardens,most of which与build之间为被动关系,且动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时的被动语态,注意主谓一致,故填were built。
【45题详解】
考查名词的数。句意同上。visitor为可数名词,此处应用复数形式表泛指,故填visitors。

【答案】
Dear Chris,
I hope this letter finds you well.
Last Saturday, our school’s English Club organized a debate on the topic “Which is more important, health or wealth?” It was such an engaging event! Students were divided into two teams, one arguing for the importance of health and the other advocating for wealth. Both sides presented compelling arguments supported by facts and personal experiences. The debate was intense yet respectful, and it sparked a lot of critical thinking and reflection among the audience. In the end, we all agreed that while both health and wealth are crucial, without good health, wealth loses its significance.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 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。
My students were already talking about Christmas plans, even though it was only October. With each day passing, everyone became more anxious, waiting for the final school bell. As soon as the bell rang, everyone would rush for their coats and go home, everyone except David.
David was a small boy in ragged (破烂的) clothes. I had often wondered what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed in so unsuitable clothes for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David special. I can still remember he was always wearing a smile and ready to help. He always stayed after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. After he finished cleaning, he would just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly head for his home.
Weeks passed and the excitement grew into restlessness (坐立不安) with the coming Christmas until the last day of school before the holiday break. I smiled with relief when the last of them hurried out of the door. Turning around, I saw David quietly standing by my desk.
“I have something for you,” he said and took out a small box from behind his back.He handed it to me and he said worriedly, “Open it.” I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped (打开) it. I lifted the lid but to my surprise, nothing was there. I looked at David’s smiling face and looked back into the box and said, “The box is nice, David, but it’s empty.”
“Oh no, it isn’t,” said David. “It’s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love is something that you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

Tears welled up in my eyes.

From that day on, David and I became good friends.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Tears welled up in my eyes. I was deeply moved by David’s words and the profound meaning behind his empty box. His mother’s message about love being invisible yet powerful resonated within me, reminding me of the true essence of Christmas—love and giving, not material gifts. I hugged David tightly, overwhelmed with gratitude for his gift and the lesson he had taught me. “Thank you, David,” I whispered, “for reminding me of what truly matters.”
From that day on, David and I became good friends. We spent countless hours together, sharing stories, playing games, and learning from each other. I helped him with his studies while he taught me the value of simplicity and kindness. His smile and positive attitude were contagious, brightening even the gloomiest of days. David’s impact on my life was immeasurable, and I was forever grateful for the friendship we shared and the lessons he imparted. His empty box of love became a symbol of our bond, a reminder to always cherish the invisible yet powerful forces in life—love, kindness, and friendship.
