A 【解析】 【原文】To stay committed to your goals, try these strategies, Forbes, as Stanford professor suggests, starting with small, manageable habits. For example, practice an instrument for thirty seconds a day, or wash your hands before meals. These actions, though small, are more effective than goals like eating healthy food or getting fit, which can be hard to achieve without specific steps. Another tip is to track your progress with a Scorecard. This could mean recording how far you run or how much time you spend studying a language. Besides, he advises keeping your goals to yourself. Announcing them implies a sense of completion. It might mean that you’re less likely to follow through. However, victor, a new York university professor, opposed that. He thought you should tell your friends or family members. He added that having social support helps people achieve difficult goals. You could ask friends to remind you when you achieve a goal, you should throw a party to celebrate it with them. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15 小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A The Rocky Mountains are home to a rich diversity of wildlife, plants, and splendid natural wonders, and they include many national parks in both the United States and Canada.

He discovered this when taking care of his younger cousins. One day, he asked them whether they wanted to do a science experiment, but their response was disappointing. “Every time I take care of them, we usually play chess, play video games, or watch TV. But when I tried to get them to do science experiments, they said, ‘No, I hate science. I’m not good at it,’” Muhammad recalled. This moment inspired him to create a non-profit organization called “Kits Cubed”, which was intended to expose kids to science in a fun, affordable and accessible way. “I went back to my room, pulled out some science books, and started researching online. I came up with a few science experiments that could be done at home using everyday, inexpensive materials, and the kids loved them,” Muhammad said. Seeing how happy his cousins were, he realized that other kids could benefit from the same experience. “I noticed that schools often lacked science experiments, and I thought kids needed access to science kits,” Muhammad explained. He then took $200 he had saved up to create a website and started producing science kits for sale, with the profit donated to children in need. “I had enough money to build the website and make about 10–15 kits. Initially, my objective was just to see my cousins happy. I wanted to share that joy with more kids,” Muhammad said. Today, Muhammad has been accepted into Stanford University, and he is proud to have changed his cousins’ view on science while inspiring other kids. 24. What inspired Muhammad to create “Kits Cubed”? A. His cousins’ lack of interest in science. B. His passion for doing science experiments. C. His inability to get along well with his cousins. D. His desire to help schools with science resources. 25. Why did Muhammad produce science kits at the beginning? A. To donate them to schools. B. To make his cousins happy. C. To run his website smoothly. D. To promote scientific research. 26. Which of the following words can best describe Muhammad? A. Optimistic. B. Creative. C. Accessible. D. Modest. 27. Which can be the best title for this passage? A. “Kits Cubed” Helps Kids in Need B. Science Experiments Matter to Kids C. Science Kits Bring Happiness to Kids D. Teen Inspires Kids’ Curiosity in Science 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Ahmed Muhammad如何通过自己的努力和创意，激发孩子们对科学的兴趣，并创建了一个非营利组织Kits Cubed，旨在向孩子们介绍科学。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Every time I take care of them, we usually play chess, play video games, or watch TV. But when I tried to get them to do science experiments, they said, ‘No, I hate science. I’m not good at it,’” Muhammad recalled. This moment inspired him to create a non-profit organization called “Kits Cubed”, which was intended to expose kids to science in a fun, affordable and accessible way.(“每次我照顾他们的时候，我们通常会下棋、玩电子游戏或看电视。但当我试图让他们做科学实验时，他们说，‘不，我讨厌科学。我不擅长这个，’”穆罕默德回忆道。这一时刻激发了他的灵感，他创建了一个名为“Kits Cubed”的非营利组织，旨在以一种有趣、负担得起、容易接近的方式让孩子们接触科学)”可知，表兄弟对科学缺乏兴趣启发穆罕默德创造了“Kits Cubed”。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Seeing how happy his cousins were, he realized that other kids could benefit from the same experience. “I noticed that schools often lacked science experiments, and I thought kids needed access to science kits,” Muhammad explained.(看到他的表兄弟们如此开心，他意识到其他孩子也可以从同样的经历中受益。‘我注意到学校经常缺乏科学实验，我认为孩子们需要获得科学工具包，’穆罕默德解释说)”可知，穆罕默德一开始要制作科学工具包是为了让他的表兄弟高兴。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This moment inspired him to create a non-profit organization called “Kits Cubed”, which was intended to expose kids to science in a fun, affordable and accessible way.(这一时刻激发了他的灵感，他创建了一个名为‘Kits Cubed’的非营利组织，旨在以一种有趣、负担得起、容易接近的方式让孩子们接触科学)”可知，穆罕默德因为表兄弟对科学缺乏兴趣的经历建立了“Kits Cubed”非营利组织，说明他具有创造性。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“This moment inspired him to create a non-profit organization called “Kits Cubed”, which was intended to expose kids to science in a fun, affordable and accessible way.(这一时刻激发了他的灵感，他创建了一个名为‘Kits Cubed’的非营利组织，旨在以一种有趣、负担得起、容易接近的方式让孩子们接触科学)”结合文章主要讲述了Ahmed Muhammad如何通过自己的努力和创意，激发孩子们对科学的兴趣，并创建了一个非营利组织Kits Cubed，旨在向孩子们介绍科学。可知，D选项“青少年激发孩子对科学的好奇心”最符合文章标题。故选D。 C Lab-grown chicken is finally making its way onto menus in the United States. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has recently given permission for selling cultured (培养的) meat produced by GOOD Meat and UPSIDE Foods, marking a significant breakthrough for the cultured meat industry. These companies are able to grow small amounts of chicken cells into meat without the need for traditional slaughter (屠宰). However, it’s important to note that this permission is currently limited to chicken products. Both companies still require additional permission to market cell-cultured beef, pork or seafood. Concerns have been growing among Americans about traditional meat production, which contributes to about 14.5% of global carbon emissions and can encourage antibiotic-resistant (耐抗生素的) bacteria growth. Additionally, it pollutes waterways with animal waste. And the animals themselves often live relatively short lives in cages. “The current methods of traditional meat production are at the root of many environmental issues,” says GOOD Meat CEO Josh Tetrick. Despite these concerns, meat remains a significant part of many people’s diets due to cultural, traditional and nutritional reasons. Cultured meat companies position themselves as producing sustainable and proper meat, aiming to provide meat lovers with a guilt-free choice that satisfies their desire for tasty food. The production process for lab-grown meat is relatively straightforward, with the main challenge lying in building sufficient production facilities. Both companies, now armed with USDA and FDA permission, can focus on expanding to produce enough cell-cultured meat to meet the demand. At the beginning, lab-grown chicken will only be available at select restaurants, including Bar Crenn in San Francisco and a restaurant owned by chef José Andrés in Washington. 28. What can be known about lab-grown chicken? A. It is grown from chicken cells. B. It grows from artificial materials. C. It is cheap to produce and process. D. It tastes better than regular chicken. 29. What is the problem with traditional meat production? A. Animals live in crowded cages. B. Consumer demand can’t be met. C. The procedure is not eco-friendly. D. It is considered outdated by factories. 30. What are cultured meat companies going to do? A. Improve the meat taste. B. Gain government approval. C. Cooperate with restaurants. D. Increase their productivity. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. Cultured meat permitted for sale in the US. B. A breakthrough in cultured meat technology. C. The impact of cultured meat on eating habits. D. Environmental issues caused by meat production. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国农业部批准了销售由GOOD Meat和UPSIDE Foods生产的人造肉，这标志着人造肉行业取得了重大突破，文章介绍了人造肉的制造过程以及优点。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“These companies are able to grow small amounts of chicken cells into meat without the need for traditional slaughter (屠宰).(这些公司能够在不需要传统屠宰的情况下，将少量的鸡细胞培育成肉)”可知，实验室培养的鸡是从鸡的细胞中培养出来的。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Concerns have been growing among Americans about traditional meat production, which contributes to about 14.5% of global carbon emissions and can encourage antibiotic-resistant (耐抗生素的) bacteria growth.(美国人对传统肉类生产的担忧越来越大，这占全球碳排放量的14.5%，并可能鼓励抗生素耐药性细菌的生长)”可知，传统的肉类生产过程不环保。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The production process for lab-grown meat is relatively straightforward, with the main challenge lying in building sufficient production facilities. Both companies, now armed with USDA and FDA permission, can focus on expanding to produce enough cell-cultured meat to meet the demand.(实验室培育肉的生产过程相对简单，主要挑战在于建造足够的生产设施。这两家公司现在都获得了美国农业部和美国食品和药物管理局的许可，可以专注于扩大生产足够的细胞培养肉来满足需求)”可知，人造肉公司要提高他们的生产力。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Lab-grown chicken is finally making its way onto menus in the United States.(实验室培育的鸡肉终于进入了美国的菜单)”结合文章主要说明了美国农业部批准了销售由GOOD Meat和UPSIDE Foods生产的人造肉，这标志着人造肉行业取得了重大突破可知，这篇文章的主要内容是在美国允许出售人造肉。故选A。 D Education experts at the University of South Australia remind teachers that high engagement leads to high returns when it comes to improving student performance. Filming and assessing the content of classrooms across South Australia and Victoria, researchers found in a new study that nearly 70% of student tasks involved superficial learning — simple questions and answers, taking notes, or listening to teachers — rather than activities that engage students on a deeper level. Less than a third of teachers are engaging students in complex learning, limiting student opportunities for critical thinking and problem solving. Dr. Stephenson, a researcher at UniSA, emphasizes that teachers need more support in designing interactive and meaningful lessons that promote deep learning. “The greater the engagement, the deeper the learning. Deep learning helps organize knowledge into conceptual frameworks, enhancing memory and learning outcomes. It also develops innovative thinking. Even small adjustments to lesson plans and teaching techniques can significantly boost student engagement and overall performance,” he explains. At a base level, teachers should consider how they can adjust their existing classroom activities so that more tasks are on the deeper end of learning. For instance, watching a video can be done in various ways: students can watch it passively, take notes using the speaker’s words (active engagement), write questions based on the video’s content (constructive engagement), or watch and discuss the video in a group to generate new ideas (interactive engagement). “Interactive learning motivates students to engage more deeply by making judgments, discussing ideas, and cooperating on solutions,” Dr. Stephenson says. Interestingly, many teachers seem not to know or fully appreciate the importance of how their lesson tasks can stimulate (激发) different modes of student engagement. “Even changing class activities from ‘active’ to ‘constructive’ can go a long way towards improving student leaning,” Dr. Stephenson says. “Teachers should undertake professional development to transform their thinking towards practices that support deeper-learning and better outcomes for students.” 32. What does the underlined word “superficial” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Interactive. B. Devoted. C. Shallow. D. Accurate. 33. What do education experts advise teachers to do? A. Frequently assess student outcomes. B. Involve students in active learning. C. Increase the use of videos in class. D. Promote students’ planning skills. 34. What can be learned about current class activities? A. They prevent students from distraction. B. They help develop students’ team spirit. C. They make for students’ deep thinking. D. They are in urgent need of transformation. 35. Which activity can improve student performance best? A. Viewing videos. B. Class debates. C Reading competitions. D. Retelling exercises. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究表明现在学校的课堂活动学生参与度很低，被动学习，需要改变。专家建议教师设计互动参与形式的课堂活动，从而使学生可以深度思考和学习。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后面的解释“simple questions and answers, taking notes, or listening to teachers(简单的问答、记笔记或听老师讲课)”及下文“rather than activities that engage students on a deeper level.(而不是让学生参与更深层次的活动)”可知，该词应该是“简单的，浅显的，表面的”之意，与后面的deeper level意思相反。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Education experts at the University of South Australia remind teachers that high engagement leads to high returns when it comes to improving student performance.(南澳大利亚大学的教育专家提醒教师，在提高学生表现方面，高参与度会带来高回报)”及第三段“Dr. Stephenson, a researcher at UniSA, emphasizes that teachers need more support in designing interactive and meaningful lessons that promote deep learning.(南澳大学的研究员斯蒂芬森博士强调，教师在设计促进深度学习的互动和有意义的课程时需要更多的支持)”可推测，专家们建议教师们在课堂上多设计互动的活动，让学生积极参与课堂主动学习，而不是被动听课。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Filming and assessing the content of classrooms across South Australia and Victoria, researchers found in a new study that nearly 70% of student tasks involved superficial learning – simple questions and answers, taking notes, or listening to teachers — rather than activities that engage students on a deeper level. Less than a third of teachers are engaging students in complex learning, limiting student opportunities for critical thinking and problem solving.(研究人员对南澳大利亚州和维多利亚州的课堂内容进行了拍摄和评估，他们在一项新研究中发现，近70%的学生任务都是肤浅的学习——简单的问答、记笔记或听老师讲课——而不是让学生参与更深层次的活动。只有不到三分之一的教师让学生参与复杂的学习，这限制了学生批判性思维和解决问题的机会)”及最后一段“Teachers should undertake professional development to transform their thinking towards practices that support deeper-learning and better outcomes for students.(教师应该进行专业发展，将他们的思维转变为实践，支持更深入的学习，为学生带来更好的结果)”可推测，作者认为现在的课堂活动太简单不能使学生积极参与课堂学习，限制了学生批判性思维和解决问题的机会；由此可知，当前的课堂活动迫切需要改变。故选D项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段末“or watch and discuss the video in a group to generate new ideas (interactive engagement)(或者在小组中观看和讨论视频以产生新的想法（互动参与）)”及“Interactive learning motivates students to engage more deeply by making judgments, discussing ideas, and cooperating on solutions(互动式学习通过做出判断、讨论想法和合作解决方案，激励学生更深入地参与其中)”可知，课堂讨论是互动参与的活动，可以使学生学习效果更好。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Studying abroad is often referred to as an enriching experience, offering opportunities for personal growth. ____36____ One of the primary challenges is the cultural barrier.

You’ll need to be comfortable communicating in the local language with your teachers, classmates, and the wider community.(其中一个主要的挑战是文化障碍。语言流利不仅仅是说一门语言，还包括理解各国不同的社会规则。你需要能够自如地用当地语言与老师、同学和更广泛的社区交流)”可知，上文提到了一个挑战，本句是对上文的补充，指出文化障碍的其他挑战。故C选项“此外，文化的突然转变可能是压倒性的”符合语境，故选C。 【38题详解】 根据后文“Some of you may be encountering full independence for the first time, whether that means living alone or traveling abroad for the first time. One of the more difficult aspects of culture shock is realizing that your support network of family and friends is far away. Being prepared for this transition is crucial to handling the emotional impact of being on your own.(你们中的一些人可能是第一次完全独立，不管这意味着独自生活还是第一次出国旅行。文化冲击的一个更困难的方面是意识到你的家人和朋友的支持网络是遥远的。为这种转变做好准备对于处理独自一人的情绪影响至关重要)”可知，本段的主旨是出国留学的挑战在于独立性。故A选项“独立性是另一个重大挑战”符合语境，故选A。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Studying abroad can be quite costly, too.(出国留学也可能相当昂贵)”可知，本句应说明出国留学面对的经济压力，可以具体说明出国留学昂贵的原因。故F选项“学费和住宿费加起来很快”符合语境，故选F。 【40题详解】 根据上文“In conclusion, while studying abroad can be an incredibly rewarding experience, it’s essential to understand the potential challenges and disadvantages. By being aware of these and preparing accordingly, you can make the most of your international study experience.(总之，虽然出国留学是一段非常有益的经历，但了解潜在的挑战和缺点也很重要。通过意识到这些并做好相应的准备，你可以充分利用你的国际学习经历)”可知，本段为总结段，上文提到充分利用国际学习经历，推测本句说明留学所带来的好处，故G选项“回来后你会有更广阔的视野和新的体验”符合语境，故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15 小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I’ve lived in a small town for all 16 years of my life.

Rathee’ s ____60____ (expose) to diverse cultures and education systems developed his critical thinking. “My aim is to present things as ____61____ (simple) as possible and breakdown complex issues in simple words,” he says. Rathee’s work is incredibly popular.

Though Rathee used the government’s data and international sources to make his counterclaim (反诉), his fact-checking led to ____64____ (consequence), including threats sent to his family.

He makes videos to lay emphasis on tolerance(宽容), coexistence, and ____65____ (accept) diverse viewpoints. “I’m surprised doing such a simple thing can bring so much attention,” he says, “maybe because no one tries to dare to do that.” 【答案】56. Inspired## Having been inspired 57. noticed 58. in 59. what 60. exposure ## being exposed 61. simply 62. had been viewed 63. which 64. consequences 65. accepting## acceptable 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述Rathee在YouTube上制作视频的始末及取得的成就。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：受到他在网上观看的视频的启发，Rathee开始了一个旅行视频博客。此处需要使用非谓语动词作状语，主语Rathee与inspire是被动关系，且发生在谓语动词started之前，因此需要使用动词的过去分词inspired(已转化为形容词)或现在分词完成式的被动形式即having been inspired。故填inspired/having been inspired。 【57题详解】 考查时态。句意：但他很快发现了一个问题。此处需要使用动词作谓语，经全文分析，此处描述过去发生的事实，因此需要使用一般过去时。故填noticed。 【58题详解】 考查介词。句意：因此，在印度北部一个小镇长大，后来在德国主修机械工程的拉西成为了他所谓的“YouTube教育家”，制作视频，在印度社交媒体上核实事实。major in+专业，意为“主修……专业”。故填in。 【59题详解】 考查名词性从句。句意：因此，在印度北部一个小镇长大，后来在德国主修机械工程的拉西成为了他所谓的“YouTube教育家”，制作视频，在印度社交媒体上核实事实。此处需要使用连接词引导从句作became的表语从句，连接词作从句中calls的宾语，指物，因此需要使用what。故填what。 【60题详解】 考查名词或非谓语动词。句意：Rathee接触到不同的文化和教育体系，培养了他的批判性思维。此处可以使用名词作主语，因此可使用exposure，或此处使用非谓语作主语，逻辑主语Rathee与expose是被动关系，因此可以使用非谓语动词动名词的被动式，即being exposed。故填exposure/being exposed。 【61题详解】 考查副词。句意：他说：“我的目标是尽可能简单地呈现事物，用简单的语言分解复杂的问题。”此处需要使用副词作状语，修饰动词present。故填simply。 【62题详解】 考查过去完成时，被动语态。句意：截至去年年底，他的视频被观看和分享了数百万次，使他的YouTube频道成为该国最受欢迎的频道之一，也导致了冲突。此处需要使用动词作谓语，主语his videos与view是被动关系，其句中时间状语“by the end of last year(截止到去年)”表明，谓语动词发生在去年之前，因此需要使用过去完成时的被动语态。故填had been viewed。 【63题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：今年5月，一部名为《喀拉拉邦的故事》（The Kerala Story）的电影开始引起轰动，拉西制作了一段23分钟的视频，他在视频中辩称，这部电影宣扬了一个错误的理论。此处需要使用关系词引导定语从句，先行词为film，在从句中作介词in后面的宾语。故填which。 【64题详解】 考查名词。句意：尽管Rathee使用了政府的数据和国际来源来提出他的反诉，但他的事实核查导致了一些后果，包括向他的家人发出威胁。此处需要使用名词作led to后面的宾语，此处为可数名词，结合句意可知，此处需使用名词复数形式。故填consequences。 【65题详解】 考查形容词或非谓语动词。句意：他制作的视频强调宽容、共存和接受不同的观点。此处可使用形容词作定语修饰名词diverse viewpoints，因此可使用acceptable；也可使用非谓语动词与diverse viewpoints.搭配作宾语，与tolerance, coexistence构成并列宾语。主语he与accept是主动关系，因此可使用非谓语动词的动名词形式，即accepting。故填accepting/acceptable。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，你校将举办主题为“First Aid”的英语演讲比赛，请给你校外籍教师 Mr. Smith写邮件邀请他担任评委。内容包括： 1.活动时间及地点； 2.活动内容及目的。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Mr. Smith, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Mr. Smith, I’m writing to invite you to serve as a judge for our English speech contest themed “First Aid”.

My friend Lea and I were the only girls in the class. We got to throw our first punches (拳击) and learned how we should stand. I still didn’t know how to do it well, but I felt that choosing the boxing class was a right decision. Mr. Vernon, our boxing teacher, made us work hard and sweat. The boxing pads (防护垫) were my favorite, but my punches weren’t strong enough. After participating in more practices, we had learned how to punch in six different ways. The boys were improving a lot on their strength, and Lea with her speed. What about me? Well, I had a hard time seeing the difference. Mr. Vernon would always tell me that practice would make me stronger, and this was what helped motivate me to continue. Each practice there was at least one boy who would make fun of me and say, “Oh, you’re too short to box. Mr. Vernon has to bend down when you are on the boxing pads; oh, you’re not strong enough; you punch like a mouse.” I know those comments were not to hurt me, but just to have fun. It’s true. I’m a small and short person and I did lack confidence; but hearing those comments can either bring you down, or make you feel motivated to show them they are wrong. In my case, they started to discourage me. I didn’t have the strength to think they were wrong, and part of me thought that they were speaking the truth. I hid it inside my heart because I thought that showing I was doubting myself would make it worse. 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。 Then came one particular practice. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The experience taught me a great lesson. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Then came one particular practice. Somehow I was mad and angry, which made my punches suddenly stronger and faster. What amazed me was that gradually I just didn’t have that anger in me. After the practice, all my classmates burst into cheers for my great performance and Mr. Vernon also said that I was making great progress. With his praise I finally found the strength I needed. In the following practices, he was impressed with my good boxing skills, because they were getting powerful. The experience taught me a great lesson. Boxing requires a lot of work and effort, but it has also taught me not to feel discouraged about what others say. Thanks to boxing, I have gradually realized that being short doesn’t define me. If we focus on our strong points and improve our weak ones, there is no reason for us to feel disappointed. Day by day I am becoming increasingly confident, definitely sure nothing will limit me to doing what tall or strong people can do. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物学习拳击为线索展开，讲述了作者在九年级参加拳击班，作为仅有的两个女孩之一，起初因身高和力量不足被男同学取笑。尽管感到沮丧，她通过不断练习逐渐提升技巧。一次练习中，她的愤怒转化为力量，赢得了赞赏。这次经历让她明白，不应被他人言论影响，而应专注于自身优点和改进不足。最终作者变得更加自信，坚信身高或力量无法限制她的能力。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后是一个特别的练习”可知，第一段可描写作者内心的情绪转化为力量，她的拳击取得突破，同学们为作者的表现而欢呼，Vernon老师也表扬作者，以及作者找到了方法，不断进步。 ②由第二段首句内容“这次经历给我上了很重要的一课”可知，第二段可描写作者领悟到不应被他人的话左右，而应保持专注，以及作者变得越来越自信。 2. 续写线索：特别的练习——作者取得突破——作者不断进步——上了重要一课——作者的领悟——作者更加自信 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①需要：require/need ②意识到：realize/recognize ③专心于：focus on/concentrate on ④限制：limit/restrict 情绪类 ①生气的：angry/annoyed/irritated ②沮丧的：discouraged/frustrated/downhearted 【点睛】[高分句型1] What amazed me was that gradually I just didn’t have that anger in me.

Rocky Mountain National Park Spanning 415 square miles across the Continental Divide, this park is the first major national park in the Rocky Mountains.

He discovered this when taking care of his younger cousins. One day, he asked them whether they wanted to do a science experiment, but their response was disappointing. “Every time I take care of them, we usually play chess, play video games, or watch TV. But when I tried to get them to do science experiments, they said, ‘No, I hate science. I’m not good at it,’” Muhammad recalled. This moment inspired him to create a non-profit organization called “Kits Cubed”, which was intended to expose kids to science in a fun, affordable and accessible way. “I went back to my room, pulled out some science books, and started researching online. I came up with a few science experiments that could be done at home using everyday, inexpensive materials, and the kids loved them,” Muhammad said. Seeing how happy his cousins were, he realized that other kids could benefit from the same experience. “I noticed that schools often lacked science experiments, and I thought kids needed access to science kits,” Muhammad explained. He then took $200 he had saved up to create a website and started producing science kits for sale, with the profit donated to children in need. “I had enough money to build the website and make about 10–15 kits. Initially, my objective was just to see my cousins happy. I wanted to share that joy with more kids,” Muhammad said.

Teen Inspires Kids’ Curiosity in Science C Lab-grown chicken is finally making its way onto menus in the United States. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has recently given permission for selling cultured (培养的) meat produced by GOOD Meat and UPSIDE Foods, marking a significant breakthrough for the cultured meat industry. These companies are able to grow small amounts of chicken cells into meat without the need for traditional slaughter (屠宰). However, it’s important to note that this permission is currently limited to chicken products. Both companies still require additional permission to market cell-cultured beef, pork or seafood. Concerns have been growing among Americans about traditional meat production, which contributes to about 14.5% of global carbon emissions and can encourage antibiotic-resistant (耐抗生素的) bacteria growth. Additionally, it pollutes waterways with animal waste. And the animals themselves often live relatively short lives in cages. “The current methods of traditional meat production are at the root of many environmental issues,” says GOOD Meat CEO Josh Tetrick. Despite these concerns, meat remains a significant part of many people’s diets due to cultural, traditional and nutritional reasons. Cultured meat companies position themselves as producing sustainable and proper meat, aiming to provide meat lovers with a guilt-free choice that satisfies their desire for tasty food. The production process for lab-grown meat is relatively straightforward, with the main challenge lying in building sufficient production facilities. Both companies, now armed with USDA and FDA permission, can focus on expanding to produce enough cell-cultured meat to meet the demand. At the beginning, lab-grown chicken will only be available at select restaurants, including Bar Crenn in San Francisco and a restaurant owned by chef José Andrés in Washington. 28. What can be known about lab-grown chicken? A. It is grown from chicken cells. B. It grows from artificial materials. C. It is cheap to produce and process. D. It tastes better than regular chicken. 29. What is the problem with traditional meat production? A. Animals live in crowded cages. B. Consumer demand can’t be met. C. The procedure is not eco-friendly. D. It is considered outdated by factories. 30. What are cultured meat companies going to do? A. Improve the meat taste. B. Gain government approval. C. Cooperate with restaurants. D. Increase their productivity. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. Cultured meat permitted for sale in the US. B. A breakthrough in cultured meat technology. C. The impact of cultured meat on eating habits. D. Environmental issues caused by meat production. D Education experts at the University of South Australia remind teachers that high engagement leads to high returns when it comes to improving student performance. Filming and assessing the content of classrooms across South Australia and Victoria, researchers found in a new study that nearly 70% of student tasks involved superficial learning — simple questions and answers, taking notes, or listening to teachers — rather than activities that engage students on a deeper level. Less than a third of teachers are engaging students in complex learning, limiting student opportunities for critical thinking and problem solving. Dr. Stephenson, a researcher at UniSA, emphasizes that teachers need more support in designing interactive and meaningful lessons that promote deep learning. “The greater the engagement, the deeper the learning. Deep learning helps organize knowledge into conceptual frameworks, enhancing memory and learning outcomes. It also develops innovative thinking. Even small adjustments to lesson plans and teaching techniques can significantly boost student engagement and overall performance,” he explains. At a base level, teachers should consider how they can adjust their existing classroom activities so that more tasks are on the deeper end of learning. For instance, watching a video can be done in various ways: students can watch it passively, take notes using the speaker’s words (active engagement), write questions based on the video’s content (constructive engagement), or watch and discuss the video in a group to generate new ideas (interactive engagement). “Interactive learning motivates students to engage more deeply by making judgments, discussing ideas, and cooperating on solutions,” Dr. Stephenson says. Interestingly, many teachers seem not to know or fully appreciate the importance of how their lesson tasks can stimulate (激发) different modes of student engagement. “Even changing class activities from ‘active’ to ‘constructive’ can go a long way towards improving student leaning,” Dr. Stephenson says. “Teachers should undertake professional development to transform their thinking towards practices that support deeper-learning and better outcomes for students.” 32. What does the underlined word “superficial” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Interactive. B. Devoted. C. Shallow. D. Accurate. 33. What do education experts advise teachers to do? A Frequently assess student outcomes. B. Involve students in active learning. C. Increase the use of videos in class. D. Promote students’ planning skills. 34. What can be learned about current class activities? A. They prevent students from distraction. B. They help develop students’ team spirit. C. They make for students’ deep thinking. D. They are in urgent need of transformation. 35. Which activity can improve student performance best? A. Viewing videos. B. Class debates. C. Reading competitions. D. Retelling exercises. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Studying abroad is often referred to as an enriching experience, offering opportunities for personal growth. ____36____ One of the primary challenges is the cultural barrier.

My friend Lea and I were the only girls in the class. We got to throw our first punches (拳击) and learned how we should stand. I still didn’t know how to do it well, but I felt that choosing the boxing class was a right decision. Mr. Vernon, our boxing teacher, made us work hard and sweat. The boxing pads (防护垫) were my favorite, but my punches weren’t strong enough. After participating in more practices, we had learned how to punch in six different ways. The boys were improving a lot on their strength, and Lea with her speed. What about me? Well, I had a hard time seeing the difference. Mr. Vernon would always tell me that practice would make me stronger, and this was what helped motivate me to continue. Each practice there was at least one boy who would make fun of me and say, “Oh, you’re too short to box. Mr. Vernon has to bend down when you are on the boxing pads; oh, you’re not strong enough; you punch like a mouse.” I know those comments were not to hurt me, but just to have fun. It’s true. I’m a small and short person and I did lack confidence; but hearing those comments can either bring you down, or make you feel motivated to show them they are wrong. In my case, they started to discourage me. I didn’t have the strength to think they were wrong, and part of me thought that they were speaking the truth. I hid it inside my heart because I thought that showing I was doubting myself would make it worse. 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。 Then came one particular practice. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The experience taught me a great lesson. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
