When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher approached me about entering a writing contest. At first, I declined without thinking because English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply, “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself I think you have a good shot at this.”
Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. After much thinking, I settled on an unconventional topic: Paul Revere’s horse. I decided to narrate (叙述) the events of that historic night from the horse’s perspective. It was an unusual choice, but I hoped it would set my writing apart from the others.
As I began to write, I found myself empathizing (同情) with the horse’s journey. What did the horse think, as sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? Like the horse, I too encountered challenges along the way. There were moments of exhaustion, self-doubt, and a strong desire to give up. But I persisted, fueled by the encouragement of my teacher and my own determination.
I poured myself into the essay, carefully checking spelling and grammar and absorbed in research at the library. With each revision, I improved my storytelling skills and grew more passionate about the process.
When I handed in the final draft to my teacher, he laughed at the humor and creativity in my writing but challenged me to refine it even further. And so, I revised and rewrote tirelessly until I felt a sense of satisfaction with the finished product.
In the end, the thought of winning the contest took a backseat to the joy I found in the writing itself. Whether or not I emerged victorious was no longer my primary concern. I had discovered a passion and a sense of achievement that went beyond any awards.
24. What topic did the author choose for the writing contest?
A. The sinking of the Titanic. B. Paul Revere’s horse.
C. The history of social studies. D. The American Revolution.
25. How did the author feel about the writing competition at first?
A. Excited and confident. B. Curious and interested.
C Unwilling and doubtful. D. Enthusiastic and determined.
26. What does the horse’s journey reflect about the author’s writing experience?
A. The author considered quitting but held on.
B. The author had no passion for the writing process.
C. The author faced physical challenges while writing.
D. The author experienced constant success and satisfaction.
27. What did the author get after the writing contest?
A. The award of the writing contest.
B. A newfound passion for history.
C. A sense of humor in writing.
D. A sense of achievement and love for writing.

As warm blood spattered all over us, I screamed… actually it was water, but that didn’t stop me being so scared that my heart was nearly beating out of my chest. My friend had persuaded me onto the Hotel Psycho ride at the Prater Amusement Park, I’m unwilling to experience any fear, but I decided to do it anyway. I came off the ride shaking but excited.
Apparently Eleanor Roosevelt didn’t actually say “do one thing that scares you every day”, as is often thought, but nevertheless it’s a great rule to follow. You don’t need to go on a fairground ride or jump out of a plane, but it is a good idea to push yourself out of your comfort zone regularly.
The human brain, particularly the amygdale (杏仁核), is designed to keep you safe. This sounds like a good thing, and obviously, sometimes it is. However, the fact that the amygdala is always on the lookout for danger means that it will prioritize protecting you over almost anything else: learning something new, experiencing something amazing, getting a great opportunity and meeting other people. The amygdala would really just like you to stay put in a nice safe dark cave.
The more you listen to its urgings to avoid all risks, the narrower and darker your life will become. There is plenty of evidence that the most effective way to deal with our fears and anxieties is exposing ourselves to what we fear. You can start off with small steps, but the more you confront (面对) your fears, the smaller they become: whereas the more you allow your fears to prevent you from doing things, the bigger those fears seem to be.
For this reason, it is important to stretch yourself and keep all those possibilities open. You need to take risks and do things that petrify you, so that you know just what you’re capable of. Sometimes those risks won’t work out, but that’s fine, as long as you can learn from the experience, and get ready for the next adventure.
28. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By giving a definition. B. By telling a horrible story.
C. By quoting from a classic book. D. By describing his own experience.
29. What can be learned about the amygdala?
A. It stops people from trying things out.
B. It functions well in a dark environment.
C. It introduces some risk-taking activities.
D. It highlights people’s demand for learning.
30. What does the author tell us about our fears in Paragraph 4?
A. They could be hard to overcome.
B. They should be addressed effectively.
C. They would be necessary for survival.
D. They might be regular visitors to our life.
31. What does the underlined word “petrify” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Inspire. B. Scare. C. Comfort. D. Anger.
D
It is widely known that children’s interest in nature is crucial for their mental health and biodiversity (生物多样性) protection efforts. But how can parents and teachers develop children’s interest in nature in the first place? The answer may lie in a garden.
Chinese researchers have recently reported that a school garden with abundant natural components (元素) can be used to cultivate the interest of primary school children in nature while helping to relieve their study-related stress.
In a study published in the journal People and Nature, a research team from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences analyzed the impact of natural observation and inquiry-based learning activities in a school garden on the development of children’s interest in nature.
The researchers conducted a series of teaching interventions (干预) over a semester in a campus garden of a primary school in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan province. The program involved 24 fourth graders taking part in three 40-minute activities that were held weekly: natural observation with assigned tasks, natural observation with open-ended tasks and inquiry-based activities.
Participants kept individual portfolios (档案) consisting of questionnaires, nature journals, observation notes and interviews. Qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed to divide children into three categories: those who developed an interest, those who developed an improved interest, and those not affected by the activities.
After four months in the program, the results showed that more than two-thirds of the 24 students were classified as either “interest started” or “interest enhanced,” showing a generally favorable outcome, according to the study. The results revealed that the school garden, with its unique and safe environment, played a significant role in stimulating children’s curiosity about the creatures in the garden. It also empowered children to learn and explore independently.
Given the current trend of children spending more time in front of screens and less in front of nature, school gardens offer potential solutions, the study said. “Implementing a diverse school garden with informative labels and explanation boards, along with teacher support, represents a potential approach to cultivating children’s interest in nature, particularly during the critical developmental stage of 9 to 11 years of age,” said Chen Jin, a researcher at the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden. “We recommend adopting mini botanical (植物的) gardens and club activities in schools to bridge formal and informal education,” Chen added.
32. What is the main focus of the study?
A. The benefits of traditional classroom settings.
B. The impact of screen time on children’s development.
C. The effects of inquiry-based learning on primary school children.
D. The role of school gardens in developing children’s interest in nature.
33. How did the school garden contribute to children’s curiosity?
A. By limiting children’s access to screens.
B. By focusing on formal classroom activities.
C. By creating a unique and safe environment.
D By offering inquiry-based learning activities.
34. What is recommended to develop children’s interest in nature?
A. Adopting diverse school gardens with teacher’s support.
B. Encouraging more screen time for educational purposes.
C. Focusing on informal activities without teacher’s support.
D Increasing the time children spend independently exploring nature.

【11题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:这个重要的农业节日发生在所有的庄稼收割完毕之后。take place“发生”作句子的谓语,此处在描述规律性的行为,时态应用一般现在时,且主语This important agricultural festival是单数,take应用第三人称单数形式。故填takes。

【答案】14. offering
15. and 16. has developed
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是爱尔兰美丽的乡村风光。
【14题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:它的乡村令人兴奋,激发了所有人的灵感,为每一种感官提供了一些东西。此空为非谓语动词作状语,offer与逻辑主语Its countryside之间为主动关系,所以此处使用现在分词形式作状语。故填offering。
【15题详解】
考查连词。句意:宁静的风景和许多绿色的县是一个真正的视觉盛宴,起伏的绿色山丘点缀着羊和牛。此空应为连词连接sheep和cattle,结合句意,此处表示并列关系,所以应为并列连词and。故填and。
【16题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:有了这些美景,爱尔兰形成了包括跳舞和用餐在内的强大传统也就不足为奇了。此空为从句的谓语动词,结合句意可知,此处表示该动作对现在造成的影响,所以使用现在完成时,develop与主语Ireland之间为主动关系,且主语为第三人称单数。故填has developed。

When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher approached me about entering a writing contest. At first, I declined without thinking because English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply, “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself I think you have a good shot at this.”
Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. After much thinking, I settled on an unconventional topic: Paul Revere’s horse. I decided to narrate (叙述) the events of that historic night from the horse’s perspective. It was an unusual choice, but I hoped it would set my writing apart from the others.
As I began to write, I found myself empathizing (同情) with the horse’s journey. What did the horse think, as sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? Like the horse, I too encountered challenges along the way. There were moments of exhaustion, self-doubt, and a strong desire to give up. But I persisted, fueled by the encouragement of my teacher and my own determination.
I poured myself into the essay, carefully checking spelling and grammar and absorbed in research at the library. With each revision, I improved my storytelling skills and grew more passionate about the process.
When I handed in the final draft to my teacher, he laughed at the humor and creativity in my writing but challenged me to refine it even further. And so, I revised and rewrote tirelessly until I felt a sense of satisfaction with the finished product.
In the end, the thought of winning the contest took a backseat to the joy I found in the writing itself. Whether or not I emerged victorious was no longer my primary concern. I had discovered a passion and a sense of achievement that went beyond any awards.
24. What topic did the author choose for the writing contest?
A. The sinking of the Titanic. B. Paul Revere’s horse.
C. The history of social studies. D. The American Revolution.
25. How did the author feel about the writing competition at first?
A. Excited and confident. B. Curious and interested.
C. Unwilling and doubtful. D. Enthusiastic and determined.
26 What does the horse’s journey reflect about the author’s writing experience?
A The author considered quitting but held on.
B. The author had no passion for the writing process.
C. The author faced physical challenges while writing.
D The author experienced constant success and satisfaction.
27. What did the author get after the writing contest?
A. The award of the writing contest.
B. A newfound passion for history.
C. A sense of humor in writing.
D. A sense of achievement and love for writing.

【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“At first, I declined without thinking because English was only my second language.

C
As warm blood spattered all over us, I screamed… actually it was water, but that didn’t stop me being so scared that my heart was nearly beating out of my chest. My friend had persuaded me onto the Hotel Psycho ride at the Prater Amusement Park, I’m unwilling to experience any fear, but I decided to do it anyway. I came off the ride shaking but excited.
Apparently Eleanor Roosevelt didn’t actually say “do one thing that scares you every day”, as is often thought, but nevertheless it’s a great rule to follow. You don’t need to go on a fairground ride or jump out of a plane, but it is a good idea to push yourself out of your comfort zone regularly.
The human brain, particularly the amygdale (杏仁核), is designed to keep you safe. This sounds like a good thing, and obviously, sometimes it is. However, the fact that the amygdala is always on the lookout for danger means that it will prioritize protecting you over almost anything else: learning something new, experiencing something amazing, getting a great opportunity and meeting other people. The amygdala would really just like you to stay put in a nice safe dark cave.
The more you listen to its urgings to avoid all risks, the narrower and darker your life will become. There is plenty of evidence that the most effective way to deal with our fears and anxieties is exposing ourselves to what we fear. You can start off with small steps, but the more you confront (面对) your fears, the smaller they become: whereas the more you allow your fears to prevent you from doing things, the bigger those fears seem to be.
For this reason, it is important to stretch yourself and keep all those possibilities open. You need to take risks and do things that petrify you, so that you know just what you’re capable of. Sometimes those risks won’t work out, but that’s fine, as long as you can learn from the experience, and get ready for the next adventure.
28. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By giving a definition. B. By telling a horrible story.
C. By quoting from a classic book. D. By describing his own experience.
29. What can be learned about the amygdala?
A. It stops people from trying things out.
B It functions well in a dark environment.
C. It introduces some risk-taking activities.
D. It highlights people’s demand for learning.
30. What does the author tell us about our fears in Paragraph 4?
A. They could be hard to overcome.
B. They should be addressed effectively.
C. They would be necessary for survival.
D. They might be regular visitors to our life.
31. What does the underlined word “petrify” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Inspire. B. Scare. C. Comfort. D. Anger.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章认为人应该定期让自己走出舒适区,因为一味地待在安全舒适的地方会使生活变得狭隘。文章还指出通过直面恐惧我们才能逐渐克服恐惧,因此鼓励我们冒险去做让自己害怕的事情,即使冒险不成功,也能从经验中吸取教训。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“As warm blood spattered all over us, I screamed… actually it was water, but that didn’t stop me being so scared that my heart was nearly beating out of my chest. My friend had persuaded me onto the Hotel Psycho ride at the Prater Amusement Park, I’m unwilling to experience any fear, but I decided to do it anyway. I came off the ride shaking but excited. (温暖的血液溅了我们一身,我尖叫起来,其实那是水,但这并不能阻止我的恐惧,我的心几乎要跳出胸腔了。我的朋友说服我去普拉特游乐园玩“惊魂飞车”,我不愿意经历任何恐惧,但我还是决定去做。我下了车,浑身发抖,但很兴奋)”可知,作者是通过描述他自己玩“惊魂飞车”的经历,来引出如何对待恐惧这一话题的。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The human brain, particularly the amygdale (杏仁核), is designed to keep you safe. (人类的大脑,尤其是杏仁核,是用来保护你的安全的)”和“However, the fact that the amygdala is always on the lookout for danger means that it will prioritize protecting you over almost anything else: learning something new, experiencing something amazing, getting a great opportunity and meeting other people. (然而,杏仁核总是在寻找危险的事实意味着它会优先考虑保护你,而不是其他任何事情:学习新东西,体验神奇的东西,获得好机会和结识其他人)”可知,杏仁核会保护人的安全,阻止人们尝试可能存在危险的新事物。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“There is plenty of evidence that the most effective way to deal with our fears and anxieties is exposing ourselves to what we fear. You can start off with small steps, but the more you confront (面对) your fears, the smaller they become: whereas the more you allow your fears to prevent you from doing things, the bigger those fears seem to be. (有大量证据表明,处理恐惧和焦虑的最有效方法是让自己暴露在恐惧之中。你可以从一小步开始,但是你越是直面你的恐惧,它们就会变得越小;然而,你越是让恐惧阻止你做事,这些恐惧就会变得越大)”可知,作者认为应当直面恐惧,从小处着手逐步克服恐惧。由此可知,作者想要告诉我们应该有效地消除恐惧。故选B项。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“For this reason, it is important to stretch yourself and keep all those possibilities open. You need to take risks (出于这个原因,延展你自己,保持所有的可能性是很重要的。你需要冒险)”可知,作者建议我们去尝试可能性,去冒险,因此是去做让自己害怕的事情,画线词意思应该是“使感到惊恐,使感到害怕”,与Scare意思相近。故选B项。

It is widely known that children’s interest in nature is crucial for their mental health and biodiversity (生物多样性) protection efforts. But how can parents and teachers develop children’s interest in nature in the first place? The answer may lie in a garden.
Chinese researchers have recently reported that a school garden with abundant natural components (元素) can be used to cultivate the interest of primary school children in nature while helping to relieve their study-related stress.
In a study published in the journal People and Nature, a research team from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences analyzed the impact of natural observation and inquiry-based learning activities in a school garden on the development of children’s interest in nature.
The researchers conducted a series of teaching interventions (干预) over a semester in a campus garden of a primary school in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan province. The program involved 24 fourth graders taking part in three 40-minute activities that were held weekly: natural observation with assigned tasks, natural observation with open-ended tasks and inquiry-based activities.
Participants kept individual portfolios (档案) consisting of questionnaires, nature journals, observation notes and interviews. Qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed to divide children into three categories: those who developed an interest, those who developed an improved interest, and those not affected by the activities.
After four months in the program, the results showed that more than two-thirds of the 24 students were classified as either “interest started” or “interest enhanced,” showing a generally favorable outcome, according to the study. The results revealed that the school garden, with its unique and safe environment, played a significant role in stimulating children’s curiosity about the creatures in the garden. It also empowered children to learn and explore independently.
Given the current trend of children spending more time in front of screens and less in front of nature, school gardens offer potential solutions, the study said. “Implementing a diverse school garden with informative labels and explanation boards, along with teacher support, represents a potential approach to cultivating children’s interest in nature, particularly during the critical developmental stage of 9 to 11 years of age,” said Chen Jin, a researcher at the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden. “We recommend adopting mini botanical (植物的) gardens and club activities in schools to bridge formal and informal education,” Chen added.
32. What is the main focus of the study?
A. The benefits of traditional classroom settings.
B. The impact of screen time on children’s development.
C. The effects of inquiry-based learning on primary school children.
D. The role of school gardens in developing children’s interest in nature.
33. How did the school garden contribute to children’s curiosity?
A. By limiting children’s access to screens.
B. By focusing on formal classroom activities.
C. By creating a unique and safe environment.
D. By offering inquiry-based learning activities.
34. What is recommended to develop children’s interest in nature?
A. Adopting diverse school gardens with teacher’s support.
B. Encouraging more screen time for educational purposes.
C. Focusing on informal activities without teacher’s support.
D. Increasing the time children spend independently exploring nature.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国研究人员的一项教学干预类的研究,该研究表明拥有丰富自然元素的学校花园可以培养小学生对自然的兴趣,缓解他们的学习压力。

推理判断题。根据第二段“Chinese researchers have recently reported that a school garden with abundant natural components (元素) can be used to cultivate the interest of primary school children in nature while helping to relieve their study-related stress. (中国研究人员最近报告称,拥有丰富自然元素的学校花园可以用来培养小学生对自然的兴趣,同时帮助缓解他们的学习压力)”和第三段“In a study published in the journal People and Nature, a research team from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences analyzed the impact of natural observation and inquiry-based learning activities in a school garden on the development of children’s interest in nature. (在《人与自然》期刊上发表的一项研究中,中国科学院西双版纳热带植物园的一个研究小组分析了学校花园中自然观察和探究式学习活动对儿童自然兴趣发展的影响)”可知,该研究得到的结果是学校花园对培养小学生对自然的兴趣有益,该研究分析的是学校花园中自然观察和探究式学习活动对儿童自然兴趣发展的影响。因此,该研究的重点应该是学校花园在培养儿童对自然的兴趣方面的作用。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The results revealed that the school garden, with its unique and safe environment, played a significant role in stimulating children’s curiosity about the creatures in the garden. (结果表明,学校花园以其独特和安全的环境,在激发孩子们对花园生物的好奇心方面发挥了重要作用)”可知,学校花园通过创造一个独特而安全的环境来激发孩子们的好奇心。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Chen Jin所说的话“Implementing a diverse school garden with informative labels and explanation boards, along with teacher support, represents a potential approach to cultivating children’s interest in nature, particularly during the critical developmental stage of 9 to 11 years of age (在教师的支持下,建立一个带有信息标签和解释板的多样化学校花园,是培养儿童对自然兴趣的一种潜在方法,特别是在9至11岁的关键发展阶段)”可知,研究人员建议在教师的支持下采用多样化的学校花园,以培养儿童对自然的兴趣。故选A项。

【35题详解】
根据上文“Encouragement can make a significant difference in someone’s life.(鼓励可以给一个人的生活带来很大的不同。)”以及后文“Encouragement can come in many forms, such as words of affirmation (肯定), acts of kindness, or simply showing support. In today’s society, where negativity is common, a little bit of encouragement can go a long way.(鼓励可以有很多种形式,比如肯定的话,善意的行为,或者只是表示支持。在当今社会,消极是普遍的,一点点的鼓励可以走很长的路。)”可知,上文提到鼓励给人的生活带来很大不同,后文主要说明了鼓励的形式,推测本句承接上文,具体论述鼓励是如何影响他人的。故G选项“当我们鼓励别人时,我们给了他们成功所需的动力和信心”承上启下,故选G。
【36题详解】
本句为本段最后一句,根据上文“One of the most significant benefits of encouragement is that it builds strong relationships. Encouragement creates a positive environment where people feel valued and appreciated.

根据上文“Another benefit of encouragement is that it creates a chain reaction.(鼓励的另一个好处是它会产生连锁反应。)”以及下文“This chain reaction can spread throughout a community, workplace, or family.(这种连锁反应可以蔓延到整个社区、工作场所或家庭。)”可知,本句应承接上文,解释说明“连锁反应”是如何展开的。故E选项“当我们鼓励别人时,反过来,他们也更有可能鼓励别人”符合语境,故选E。
【38题详解】
根据后文“The first step is to be intentional about our words and actions. We can start by offering genuine words, expressing thanks, or simply listening attentively.

By taking small but consistent actions, we can make a significant impact on the lives of other people.(第一步是有意识地言行。我们可以从真诚的话语开始,表达感谢,或者只是认真倾听。我们也可以寻找机会鼓励他人,无论是通过志愿服务还是在困难时期提供支持。通过采取小而持续的行动,我们可以对他人的生活产生重大影响。)”可知,本段主要解释了应该如何鼓励他人。故B选项“那么,我们该如何利用鼓励来造就他人呢?”引出下文,符合语境,故选B。
【39题详解】
本句为本段最后一句,上文“In conclusion, the power of encouragement cannot be overstated. It has the potential to transform lives, build strong relationships, and create a ripple effect of positivity. By being intentional about our words and actions, we can use encouragement to build others up and create a better world.(总之,鼓励的力量怎么强调都不为过。它有可能改变生活,建立牢固的人际关系,并产生积极的连锁反应。通过有意识地言行,我们可以鼓励他人,创造一个更美好的世界。)”提到了鼓励他人可以创造更美好的世界,推测是建议多鼓励他人。故F选项“让我们用鼓励的力量,从今天开始互相帮助”符合语境,故选F。

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Jim,
I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your life and study due to excessive use of the Internet. Here are some suggestions.
Firstly, try to limit your time spent on the Internet. You can set a specific time each day for using the Internet. This will help you regain control of your time and focus on more important things. Secondly, you can try to find other activities to do, such as reading, exercising or spending time with friends, which will help you relax and reduce your reliance on the Internet. Finally, try to use the Internet more productively. You can use it to learn new skills or do research. This will make your time on the Internet more meaningful.
Remember, it takes time and effort to change a habit, but it’s worth it. I wish you all the best in your efforts to overcome this problem.
Yours,
Li Hua
