The event was open to all students, who were required to submit their original designs inspired by various cultural elements. Over a dozen teams and individual participants presented a wide range of creative works, including innovative handicrafts, stylish stationery, and trendy fashion accessories, all of which incorporated traditional cultural symbols and stories. The competition not only provided a platform for students to showcase their talents but also served as a catalyst for cultural exploration and innovation. It has successfully aroused students’ enthusiasm for cultural innovation and strengthened their sense of cultural identity. 第二节 （满分 25分） （Possible version） The woman screamed, “That’s my kitten! I've been looking everywhere for it!” Emma was stunned. She held Whiskers tighter and said, “But I found it all alone in the bush. It was so scared and hungry.” The woman explained that Whiskers had run away from her house a few days ago. Wearing a frown, Emma looked the woman up and down in disbelief. It wasn’t until the woman showed photos of Whiskers in her phone that Emma confirmed the kitten belonged to the woman. Realizing she couldn’t see the kitten any longer, Emma was overwhelmed with deep sorrow. The woman saw the look on Emma’s face and made a proposal that Emma could visit Whiskers anytime and receive pictures and updates of Whiskers. Emma thought about the woman’s proposal for a moment and then nodded. She knew it was the right thing to do. She gently handed Whiskers to the woman. The woman thanked her again and again and gave Emma a big hug. As the woman walked away with Whiskers, Emma felt tears rolling down her cheek. But she also felt a sense of happiness because Whiskers was going back to its rightful owner. From that day on, Emma visited Whiskers regularly. She watched it grow into a healthy and happy cat. The woman kept her promise and sent Emma pictures and videos of Whiskers. Emma also made a scrapbook filled with all the memories of her time with Whiskers. 第 3 页 共 4 页 英语试题（听力原文） Text 1 M: Excuse me, madam. Would you mind if I use the printer here?

Text 6 M: Aurora, the new sofa I bought online will arrive soon. Where should I put it? W: How about putting it in the kids’ bedroom? M: Oh, it will be too narrow. I am planning to put a big new desk in their room. W: Then how about the bedroom upstairs? It’s big enough for a sofa. I’d like to watch TV on the sofa quietly. M: Sounds good. We’d better ask the deliveryman to help us carry the sofa upstairs. W: Sure. I’m afraid I can’t help you handle this. It’s 4:00 p.m. I need to pick up Jerry from the airport in one hour. M: Oh, I thought his plane would not arrive till 7:00 p.m. Then you’d better set off soon. Text 7 W: Well, Joseph, I’m afraid it’s time to say goodbye. My train is leaving. M: Right. W: It was nice seeing you. M: It was nice meeting you, too. I really enjoyed the play last night. All the songs you sang were fantastic. W: Thank you, and thanks for being so considerate — booking the hotel and everything. M: My pleasure. I should thank Samuel. If he hadn’t been ill, I wouldn’t have had this chance to help organize the 第 4 页 共 4 页 play and to meet you. W: Oh, yeah. Please give my regards to Samuel. I hope he’ll be better soon. Well, I’d better be going then. I’ll see you around. M: OK, see you. Text 8 W: Do you have the manual of college majors that Mr. Keith gave us? I left it at home. M: Here it is. What will you study in college? W: I haven’t decided yet. I’m not sure. I want to study something interesting and practical for my future career. M: Well, what do you enjoy doing or what subject do you like most? W: My English is quite good and I love practicing spoken English. Maybe I can choose English as a major. M: In that case, you should choose a minor, such as law or computer engineering. W: What do you mean? M: If you do not decide to be a professional scholar of English, you’d better combine English with another subject. English will make it a bit easier for you to achieve success. W: Wow, you’re quite farsighted. Thank you so much. Text 9 M: Welcome to our program, Lynda Minter. Let’s see what quick questions we’ve got for you today. First, please give us a brief introduction about yourself. W: Well, I am a London-based artist. I always love nature. Still life does not appeal to me. I prefer to stay out feeling the air around me. M: When did you decide to pursue a career as a painter? W: I trained at St Martin’s School of Art in sculpture, and then I found myself enjoying color. So I started learning watercolors, and then found myself painting in oils which I taught myself. M: Who is your favorite artist? W: Vincent van Gogh. I can always identify with him. That’s why very often people cry in front of my paintings. M: What has been the high point of your career so far? W: I have had several high points in my career, but the one which I will treasure most is my solo show in 2008. Another highlight was the invitation to be an artist in residence at the River & Rowing Museum in Henley-on-Thames. I was given a wonderful and large space to display my paintings. Text 10 Good morning, everyone. Our company has decided to close five of its shops in the city from this month. This means that there will only be two shops left here. Don’t worry. If you have ordered products in the closing shops, you will receive them in the next five to six days. You won’t have to pay for the transport. Our company faces growing competition from other similar organizations like Sony, HP, Samsung, and Dell. We tried to lower the prices of our products, but this decision didn’t seem to produce the desired results, and our sales continued to go down. We hired a team of new computer experts, most of them from India and America. We are hoping that we’ll be able to raise the quality of our products again with their help. Another reason for our unsatisfying sales is the increased use of smartphones for computer-related activities. We understand that using a phone to search the Internet is more convenient than carrying a big computer everywhere. So we will start working on a small portable computer. It will be only a bit bigger than a normal phone. We hope this new invention will bring you back.
