Being comfortable is the most important thing. —Liu Jiawei, 14, from Class 4, Grade 8 I love fashion. But my fashion sense is a little more traditional and old-fashioned, such as long dresses and skirts. I don’t think I have fashion anxiety. But I feel bad for people with fashion anxiety. They shouldn’t be laughed at because of their clothes, nor should they be ashamed of it, because everyone is one-of-a-kind — they are special in their own way. —Yin Peixin, 11, from Class 12, Grade 9 36.

The path was slippery (湿滑的), making it challenging for all of us. I tried to keep up, feeling tired and wanting to give up. But my family was there, encouraging me every step of the way.

When we finally reached the top, I was shocked. The view was amazing, with the sun setting over the mountains, painting the sky in colors of orange and pink. At that moment, I realized how much I had grown. Not just physically but also in my understanding of the importance of family support. This experience taught me that growth comes in many forms. It’s about pushing your limit (界限), facing challenges, and knowing that with family by your side, anything is possible. That vacation was more than a break.

It’s named for its shape, which looks like an elephant’s leg and is covered in cowhide (牛皮). This drum isn’t just an instrument but a symbol of Dai culture, recognized nationally in 2011. Dai people use the drum in a dance to celebrate festivals, sweep away bad luck and welcome the New Year. This dance, showing the Dai’s friendly and welcoming nature, can be performed by one person or groups. Xie Wenping, a 32-year-old maker, learned to make these drums from his grandfather. Making a drum is difficult, requiring about 30 steps and a month to complete. Besides the hard work, Xie is encouraged by his grandfather’s happiness and feels it’s his duty to continue this tradition. With fewer people knowing the drum, Xie worries about its future. He created by making key chains (钥匙链) in the shape of elephant-foot drum to introduce more people to this part of Dai tradition. His efforts have made the drum more popular with tourists. Through these small gifts, Xie hopes the drum’s rich cultural meaning reaches far beyond Yunnan, spreading for future generations (下一代). 42. Why is it called an elephant-foot drum? A. Because of its size. B. Because of its shape. C. Because of its sound. D. Because of its color. 43. What role does the elephant-foot drum play in Dai culture? A. A tool for communication. B. A dining table used in Yunnan. C. An instrument for celebrations. D. An important symbol of peace. 44. What did Xie Wenping do to spread the elephant-foot drum tradition beyond Yunnan? A. He invented a new type of drum. B. He offered free drum lessons online. C. He wrote a book about the history of the drum. D. He created key chains in the shape of elephant-foot drum. 45. What can we learn from the story of the elephant-foot drum? A. Keeping old traditions going is easy. B. All musical tools are fairly important. C. Making things by hand can make much money. D.

It’s a medicine that fights off germs (细菌) and can stop infections. Before penicillin, getting sick with something like a small cut could be very dangerous because there was no good way to fight the infection. Fleming found penicillin by chance. He noticed that a special kind of mold (微生物), which had grown by itself in his lab, could kill harmful germs. This was a very important finding because it meant doctors could use penicillin to make sick people better. Thanks to Fleming’s discovery, by the 1940s, doctors were able to use penicillin to help soldiers who got hurt in World War II, saving many lives. Nowadays, penicillin and medicines like it are common and help treat all kinds of infections. Fleming’s discovery of penicillin shows us that sometimes, great things can be found when we’re not even looking for them. It has helped millions of people and is one of the biggest discoveries in the history of medicine. It’s also thought to be the start of developing modern medicines. Now, let’s see how penicillin changed medicine and what new problems and solutions we have today. 46. What does the underlined word “infections” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. 感染 B. 焦虑 C. 饥饿 D. 战乱 47 How did penicillin help in the 1940s? A. By growing a special mold in the lab. B. By treating soldiers in World War II. C. By fighting off bad people in the war. D.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了青霉素的发现过程、用途及其意义。 【46题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“It’s a medicine that fights off germs (细菌) and can stop infections. Before penicillin, getting sick with something like a small cut could be very dangerous because there was no good way to fight the infection.”可知，这是一种能抵抗细菌并能阻止感染的药物。在青霉素问世之前，像小伤口这样的东西生病可能是非常危险的，因为没有好的方法来对抗感染。因此infections意为“感染”。故选A。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Thanks to Fleming’s discovery, by the 1940s, doctors were able to use penicillin to help soldiers who got hurt in World War II, saving many lives.”可知，由于弗莱明的发现，到20世纪40年代，医生们能够使用青霉素来帮助在第二次世界大战中受伤的士兵，挽救了许多生命。故选B。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据“It’s also thought to be the start of developing modern medicines. Now, let’s see how penicillin changed medicine and what new problems and solutions we have today.”可知，青霉素被认为是发展现代药物的开端。也就是说，它对新药物的研发很重要。故选C。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据“It’s also thought to be the start of developing modern medicines. Now, let’s see how penicillin changed medicine and what new problems and solutions we have today.”可知，接下来作者要介绍青霉素是如何改变医学的，以及我们今天遇到的新的问题和解决方案。也就是说，接下来作者会介绍现代医学是如何以青霉素为基础发展起来的。故选B。 E OpenAI has created a new AI called Sora and it is getting a lot of attention. Unlike other AIs that make texts or pictures, Sora can turn sentences into videos! You can enjoy these videos on any screen, big or small. Sora knows how to make scenes with many people doing different things, paying attention to every little detail. It’s also getting better at showing things the way they really look. Sora learns by watching lots of videos and breaking them down. At first, the videos it makes are gray and look messy. But through keeping learning, Sora improves them until they look good. ChatGPT helps too, by making it easier for Sora to understand what we ask for. But Sora is still being tested and is not perfect yet. It sometimes has problems with complex (复杂的) actions. For example, there’s a video where a grandma blows out a birthday candle, but the candle’s flame (火焰) doesn’t move. Even though Sora has things to work on, it’s an exciting step forward in AI. It shows us something amazing in the future where AIs can make even more fantastic videos. 50. What is special about Sora compared to other AIs created by OpenAI? A. It makes texts or pictures. B. It can play video games. C. It can create music from text. D. It turns sentences into videos. 51. How does Sora improve the videos it makes? A. By using special cameras. B. By asking scientists for help. C. By asking advice from people. D. By watching and learning videos. 52. What is one of the challenges that Sora faces in creating videos now?

Our school recently had a survey asking if students prefer teamwork or working independently. Interestingly, 65% of the students favored teamwork, believing it improves creativity and provides more learning opportunities through working together. Meanwhile, 35% preferred working independently because they pay more attention to independence and concentration. As for me, I stand with the majority. I believe working in a team not only opens one’s mind but helps develop key interpersonal skills like communication and teamwork. These are important qualities that benefit us beyond school studies and they can prepare us for future challenges. In general, while working alone teaches us how to be independent, working as part of a team still plays an important role in achieving growth and success. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇材料作文； ②时态：主要时态为“一般现在时”； ③提示：写作要点已给出，考生应注意不要遗漏“信息提示”中的每一项提示，适当添加细节，并突出写作重点。 [写作步骤] 第一步，介绍讨论结果； 第二步，表达个人选择以及陈述选择理由； 第三步，书写结语，总结全文。 [亮点词汇] ①pay attention to注意 ②independence独立 ③play an important role in在……种扮演重要的角色 [高分句型] ①Meanwhile, 35% preferred working independently because they pay more attention to independence and concentration.

What do you think about it? Check some answers of teenagers from different classes in our school. I don’t have fashion anxiety. I think people have the right to choose what they wear. No matter if we like someone’s look or not, we’d better not judge it. Nowadays, young people wear cool clothes to look good or express their personalities. I think it’s a good way to make a good impression (印象). When I choose clothes, I also prefer something fashionable. It tells people that I care about my image. —Ma Miyang, 14, from Class 1, Grade 7 I have fashion anxiety. For example, when I see my friend Xu Jingjing who wears nice clothes with brand logos (品牌标志), I don’t have the courage to look at her. She is so fashionable that I feel like she is going to sing a song at any second. But this doesn’t make me worried too much. I still prefer to buy clothes with good value. Being comfortable is the most important thing. —Liu Jiawei, 14, from Class 4, Grade 8 I love fashion. But my fashion sense is a little more traditional and old-fashioned, such as long dresses and skirts. I don’t think I have fashion anxiety. But I feel bad for people with fashion anxiety. They shouldn’t be laughed at because of their clothes, nor should they be ashamed of it, because everyone is one-of-a-kind — they are special in their own way. —Yin Peixin, 11, from Class 12, Grade 9 36. What kind of clothes does Ma Miyang usually buy? A. Cheap clothes. B. Fashionable clothes. C. Clothes with traditional style. D. Clothes with pricy logos. 37.

In a travel guide. C. In a science newspaper. D. In a school magazine. B Last year, my family and I went on a vacation that I will never forget. We decided to visit a small village in the mountains, far away from the noisy city life. Our adventure started with a long hike through the green forest. The path was slippery (湿滑的), making it challenging for all of us. I tried to keep up, feeling tired and wanting to give up. But my family was there, encouraging me every step of the way. My brother would reach out his hand to help me over the slippery parts, and my parents would cheer me on, reminding me of the beautiful view at the top. When we finally reached the top, I was shocked. The view was amazing, with the sun setting over the mountains, painting the sky in colors of orange and pink. At that moment, I realized how much I had grown. Not just physically but also in my understanding of the importance of family support. This experience taught me that growth comes in many forms. It’s about pushing your limit (界限), facing challenges, and knowing that with family by your side, anything is possible. That vacation was more than a break. It was a moment of growth that will stay with me forever. 39. How did the writer feel during the hike through the forest at first? A. Excited and energetic. B. Confident and prepared. C.

Adventures in a Quiet Village D. Finding Beauty in the Nature C The elephant-foot drum is a special musical instrument which is important to the Dai people in China. It’s named for its shape, which looks like an elephant’s leg and is covered in cowhide (牛皮). This drum isn’t just an instrument but a symbol of Dai culture, recognized nationally in 2011. Dai people use the drum in a dance to celebrate festivals sweep away bad luck and welcome the New Year. This dance, showing the Dai’s friendly and welcoming nature, can be performed by one person or groups. Xie Wenping, a 32-year-old maker, learned to make these drums from his grandfather. Making a drum is difficult, requiring about 30 steps and a month to complete. Besides the hard work, Xie is encouraged by his grandfather’s happiness and feels it’s his duty to continue this tradition. With fewer people knowing the drum, Xie worries about its future. He created by making key chains (钥匙链) in the shape of elephant-foot drum to introduce more people to this part of Dai tradition. His efforts have made the drum more popular with tourists.

It’s a medicine that fights off germs (细菌) and can stop infections. Before penicillin, getting sick with something like a small cut could be very dangerous because there was no good way to fight the infection. Fleming found penicillin by chance. He noticed that a special kind of mold (微生物), which had grown by itself in his lab, could kill harmful germs. This was a very important finding because it meant doctors could use penicillin to make sick people better. Thanks to Fleming’s discovery by the 1940s, doctors were able to use penicillin to help soldiers who got hurt in World War II, saving many lives. Nowadays, penicillin and medicines like it are common and help treat all kinds of infections. Fleming’s discovery of penicillin shows us that sometimes, great things can be found when we’re not even looking for them. It has helped millions of people and is one of the biggest discoveries in the history of medicine. It’s also thought to be the start of developing modern medicines. Now, let’s see how penicillin changed medicine and what new problems and solutions we have today. 46. What does the underlined word “infections” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. 感染 B. 焦虑 C. 饥饿 D. 战乱 47.

B. How modern medicine develops based on penicillin. C. How doctors used penicillin to treat soldiers in the war. D. How sick people thanked Fleming because of penicillin. E OpenAI has created a new AI called Sora and it is getting a lot of attention. Unlike other AIs that make texts or pictures, Sora can turn sentences into videos! You can enjoy these videos on any screen, big or small. Sora knows how to make scenes with many people doing different things, paying attention to every little detail. It’s also getting better at showing things the way they really look. Sora learns by watching lots of videos and breaking them down. At first, the videos it makes are gray and look messy. But through keeping learning, Sora improves them until they look good. ChatGPT helps too, by making it easier for Sora to understand what we ask for. But Sora is still being tested and is not perfect yet. It sometimes has problems with complex (复杂的) actions. For example, there’s a video where a grandma blows out a birthday candle, but the candle’s flame (火焰) doesn’t move. Even though Sora has things to work on, it’s an exciting step forward in AI. It shows us something amazing in the future where AIs can make even more fantastic videos. 50. What is special about Sora compared to other AIs created by OpenAI? A. It makes texts or pictures. B. It can play video games. C. It can create music from text. D. It turns sentences into videos. 51. How does Sora improve the videos it makes? A. By using special cameras. B. By asking scientists for help. C. By asking advice from people. D. By watching and learning videos. 52. What is one of the challenges that Sora faces in creating videos now? A.

One day, Sammy saw Oliver reading and asked, “Why do you read all day?” Oliver replied, “To learn and prepare for the future.” Sammy just laughed and ran off to play. As winter came, food became less. Sammy, who had only played, found his food stock (食物储备) empty. At the same time, Oliver, who had learned about storing food from his books, had plenty to eat. Seeing Sammy in trouble, kind Oliver shared his food and taught him how to prepare for hard times. Sammy realized the importance of balancing fun with responsibility. He learned to read and plan ahead, making sure he’d never be unprepared again. From then on, Sammy read books alongside Oliver under the moonlight, becoming wiser every day. Sammy’s experience showed all animals the importance of reading books and also taught them a valuable lesson. 53. Where did Oliver enjoy reading books at night?
