B When 15-year-old Alex was in middle school, he witnessed his best friend, Lily, struggling with a rather serious learning disability. Lily had great difficulty in reading and understanding complex texts, which greatly affected her academic performance and greatly harmed her self-confidence. Alex firmly decided to find a way to help her. One day, while carelessly reading Reader’s Digest, Alex chanced upon an article about the shocking power of artificial intelligence (AI) in education. Deeply inspired by the article, he made up his mind to create an AI-based learning tool that could effectively help students like Lily. Alex spent months learning programming languages and algorithms (算法). He faced numerous tough challenges along the way, such as checking and reorganizing codes (代码), which mean programming instructions, and searching for relevant data, which mean information having something to do with developing such an app. However, he never thought of giving up. Finally, he developed an app called “ReadEase”, which uses AI to analyze texts and provide simplified explanations, synonyms, and clear audio-readings. It can also track the user’s progress and offer personalized learning plans. When Alex introduced “ReadEase” to Lily, she was doubtful at first. “But to my surprise, after using it for a few weeks, I noticed a significant improvement in my reading skills. I can finally understand what I’m reading,” Lily said excitedly. The success of “ReadEase” didn’t stop there. Alex shared his invention with his school’s teachers, who were deeply impressed by its huge potential. They started using the app in their classes to help students with learning difficulties. Now, Alex is working on improving “ReadEase” and hopes to make it available to more students around the world. “I want to use technology to make a positive impact on people’s lives,” he said with great enthusiasm. 4. Why did Alex decide to create “ReadEase”? A. To win a science fair. B. To help his close friend. C. To finish a school project. D. To show his knowledge about AI. 5. What challenge did Alex meet while creating the app? A. Figuring out suitable programming languages. B. Coding programming instructions properly. C. Finding similar examples to follow. D. Lacking time and money. 6. What can we infer from Lily’s words? A. She is not used to the app. B. She still has difficulty reading. C. The app is of great help to her. D. The app doesn’t function well. 7. Which of the following best describes Alex according to the text? A. Creative and determined. B. Out-going and generous. C. Humorous and earnest. D. Cool-headed and responsible. C The mental health benefits of being exposed (暴露) to nature have long been recognized, whether through activities like listening to birdsong or taking a walk in the park. A study published recently shows that even half an hour of bird-watching could make us happier, healthier and help strengthen a deeper connection with nature. We already know that listening to birds throughout the day positively impacts our well-being. Even hearing birds indoors through an open window can boost our mental state, even though in the short term. The study suggests that not only can bird-watching offer even more benefits than just listening to birdsong, but it’s also more effective at increasing well-being and reducing stress than going on a nature walk. So why is bird-watching so good for us? It satisfies our biophilia, the thought that humans have a natural preference for nature — some might even say we should consider ourselves as part of nature — which is why being in natural environments makes us feel better. Bird-watching can enhance positive feelings — the basis of well-being. Research shows that being aware of our feelings affects well-being more positively. For example, a study asked participants to either count how many birds they had seen, or rate their joy upon seeing each bird species, and both groups reported well-being boosts. However, the joyful group experienced the most improvement, suggesting that participants’ attention to positive feelings while bird-watching may have promoted the activity’s benefits. But bird-watching can be more than just joyful. Research suggests that experiencing awe (敬畏) of nature can be life-changing for human well-being. “Noticing” is a key aspect of awe. It means that our full attention is on the birds rather than ourselves. Being in nature and noticing wildlife requires us to completely get lost in the activity, which can improve mental and physical health. So, grab your binoculars (双筒望远镜) and step into nature for a lift in well-being. Take on the journey and enjoy every moment. 8. What can a short-term exposure to birdsong do? A. It can change people’s view on nature. B. It can prepare people for further bird-watching. C. It can contribute to improving people’s mental state. D. It can improve people’s physical health significantly. 9. What does the underlined word “biophilia” in paragraph 3 mean? A. The love for the natural world. B. The tiredness of being in nature. C. A kind of medicine made from plants. D. A preference for birds that can sing sweetly. 10. What is the key factor in experiencing awe while bird-watching? A. Counting the number of birds. B. Spending a long time in nature. C. Using high-quality binoculars. D. Concentrating on the birds instead of oneself. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Bird-Watching: A Path to Enhanced Well-Being B. The Preparations for Going Bird-Watching C. The Methods to Improve Your Mental Health D. Bird-Watching: A Way to Connect with Nature D A recent study of nearly 13 million health records has showed a significant improvement in children’s tooth health in the UK. Since the introduction of the sugar tax (税) in 2018, there has been a 12% decrease in the number of children requiring tooth removals (拔牙). This translates to nearly 5,638 fewer cases each year. This improvement has led to calls for broadening the tax to include other high-sugar products, a move strongly supported by the British Dental Association (BDA). The sugar tax, originally designed to fight obesity (肥胖), appears to have had an unexpected yet positive impact on children’s tooth health. The policy seems to have led to a reduction in the intake of sugar-sweetened drinks among the younger population, which account for about 30% of the added sugars in the diets of children aged one to three, and over half for older teens aged from 13 to 16. The drop in tooth decay (蛀牙) that followed has saved more than 5,500 hospital admissions for tooth removals with the most significant reductions observed among children aged between five and nine. Despite the success of the sugar tax in reducing tooth removals, the BDA believes there is still room for further improvement. It suggests that the tax should also be put on other sugar-laden products like milk-based drinks, biscuits, cakes, sweets, yoghurts, and cereals. Eddie Crouch, from the BDA, expressed his support for the tax, stating that it is “delivering the goods in the fight against tooth decay.” The research shows the potential of more effective public health policies in improving child tooth health. The introduction of the sugar tax, which encouraged producers to lower the sugar content in soft drinks, has proved a direct relationship between policy application and significant health improvements. The study’s findings serve as a strong argument for the spread of the tax to other sugary products, with the potential to further reduce tooth decay and associated hospital admissions among children. 12. What can be inferred about the sugar tax? A. It has solved the problem of childhood obesity. B. It has been well received by drink producers. C. It has seen a result beyond expectations. D. It has been placed on all sugary foods in the UK. 13. Who showed the most significant drop in tooth removal? A. Parents with little kids. B. Children aged from one to three. C. Children aged between five and nine. D. Teenagers aged between thirteen and sixteen. 14. What is Eddie Crouch’s attitude towards the sugar tax? A. Mixed. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Positive. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Sugar tax for obesity. B. Tax’s impact on tooth health. C. BDA’s new tax push. D. Drop in sweet drink sales. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能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。 Are you worn out by worrying and focusing on the negative?

On the day of handing in the artworks, the tension reached its peak (顶峰). Sarah met Mia in the art room. “Why have you been acting so strange? We used to share everything, but now you’re shutting me out!” Sarah exclaimed, her voice filled with hurt. Mia looked away, avoiding Sarah’s eyes. “I just ... I want to win this so badly.

Lily had great difficulty in reading and understanding complex texts, which greatly affected her academic performance and greatly harmed her self-confidence. Alex firmly decided to find a way to help her. One day, while carelessly reading Reader’s Digest, Alex chanced upon an article about the shocking power of artificial intelligence (AI) in education. Deeply inspired by the article, he made up his mind to create an AI-based learning tool that could effectively help students like Lily. Alex spent months learning programming languages and algorithms (算法). He faced numerous tough challenges along the way, such as checking and reorganizing codes (代码), which mean programming instructions, and searching for relevant data, which mean information having something to do with developing such an app. However, he never thought of giving up. Finally, he developed an app called “ReadEase”, which uses AI to analyze texts and provide simplified explanations, synonyms, and clear audio-readings. It can also track the user’s progress and offer personalized learning plans. When Alex introduced “ReadEase” to Lily, she was doubtful at first. “But to my surprise, after using it for a few weeks, I noticed a significant improvement in my reading skills. I can finally understand what I’m reading,” Lily said excitedly. The success of “ReadEase” didn’t stop there. Alex shared his invention with his school’s teachers, who were deeply impressed by its huge potential. They started using the app in their classes to help students with learning difficulties. Now, Alex is working on improving “ReadEase” and hopes to make it available to more students around the world. “I want to use technology to make a positive impact on people’s lives,” he said with great enthusiasm. 4. Why did Alex decide to create “ReadEase”? A. To win a science fair. B. To help his close friend. C. To finish a school project. D. To show his knowledge about AI. 5. What challenge did Alex meet while creating the app? A. Figuring out suitable programming languages. B. Coding programming instructions properly. C. Finding similar examples to follow. D. Lacking time and money. 6. What can we infer from Lily’s words? A. She is not used to the app. B. She still has difficulty reading. C. The app is of great help to her. D. The app doesn’t function well. 7. Which of the following best describes Alex according to the text? A. Creative and determined. B. Out-going and generous. C. Humorous and earnest. D. Cool-headed and responsible. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7.

A study published recently shows that even half an hour of bird-watching could make us happier, healthier and help strengthen a deeper connection with nature. We already know that listening to birds throughout the day positively impacts our well-being. Even hearing birds indoors through an open window can boost our mental state, even though in the short term. The study suggests that not only can bird-watching offer even more benefits than just listening to birdsong, but it’s also more effective at increasing well-being and reducing stress than going on a nature walk. So why is bird-watching so good for us? It satisfies our biophilia, the thought that humans have a natural preference for nature — some might even say we should consider ourselves as part of nature — which is why being in natural environments makes us feel better. Bird-watching can enhance positive feelings — the basis of well-being. Research shows that being aware of our feelings affects well-being more positively. For example, a study asked participants to either count how many birds they had seen, or rate their joy upon seeing each bird species, and both groups reported well-being boosts. However, the joyful group experienced the most improvement, suggesting that participants’ attention to positive feelings while bird-watching may have promoted the activity’s benefits. But bird-watching can be more than just joyful. Research suggests that experiencing awe (敬畏) of nature can be life-changing for human well-being. “Noticing” is a key aspect of awe. It means that our full attention is on the birds rather than ourselves. Being in nature and noticing wildlife requires us to completely get lost in the activity, which can improve mental and physical health. So, grab your binoculars (双筒望远镜) and step into nature for a lift in well-being. Take on the journey and enjoy every moment. 8. What can a short-term exposure to birdsong do? A. It can change people’s view on nature. B. It can prepare people for further bird-watching. C. It can contribute to improving people’s mental state. D. It can improve people’s physical health significantly. 9. What does the underlined word “biophilia” in paragraph 3 mean? A. The love for the natural world. B. The tiredness of being in nature. C. A kind of medicine made from plants. D. A preference for birds that can sing sweetly. 10. What is the key factor in experiencing awe while bird-watching? A. Counting the number of birds. B. Spending a long time in nature. C. Using high-quality binoculars. D. Concentrating on the birds instead of oneself. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Bird-Watching: A Path to Enhanced Well-Being B. The Preparations for Going Bird-Watching C. The Methods to Improve Your Mental Health D. Bird-Watching: A Way to Connect with Nature 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了观鸟活动对人们身心健康的好处，并鼓励人们拿起双筒望远镜，走进大自然，享受观鸟带来的愉悦和提升幸福感的过程。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Even hearing birds indoors through an open window can boost our mental state, even though in the short term.(即使是通过开着窗户在室内听到鸟叫声，也能提升我们的精神状态，尽管只是短期的)”可知，短期接触鸟鸣声有助于改善人们的精神状态。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“the thought that humans have a natural preference for nature—some might even say we should consider ourselves as part of nature—which is why being in natural environments makes us feel better.(人类天生偏爱自然的想法——有些人甚至会说我们应该把自己视为自然的一部分——这就是为什么处于自然环境中会让我们感觉更好)”可知，biophilia指的是人类天生对自然世界的热爱。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“‘Noticing’ is a key aspect of awe. It means that our full attention is on the birds rather than ourselves.(‘注意’是敬畏的一个关键方面。这意味着我们的全部注意力都在鸟身上，而不是我们自己)”可知，在观鸟时体验敬畏的关键因素是把注意力集中在鸟身上，而不是自己。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“A study published recently shows that even half an hour of bird-watching could make us happier, healthier and help strengthen a deeper connection with nature.(最近发表一项研究表明，即使是半个小时的观鸟活动也能让我们更快乐、更健康，并有助于加强与自然的深厚联系)”以及第四段中“Bird-watching can enhance positive feelings—the basis of well-being.(观鸟可以增强积极情绪——这是幸福感的基础)”可知，文章主要介绍了观鸟活动对人们身心健康的好处，并鼓励人们拿起双筒望远镜，走进大自然，享受观鸟带来的愉悦和提升幸福感的过程。所以A选项“观鸟：提升幸福感的途径”最符合文章主旨。故选A。 D A recent study of nearly 13 million health records has showed a significant improvement in children’s tooth health in the UK. Since the introduction of the sugar tax (税) in 2018, there has been a 12% decrease in the number of children requiring tooth removals (拔牙). This translates to nearly 5,638 fewer cases each year. This improvement has led to calls for broadening the tax to include other high-sugar products, a move strongly supported by the British Dental Association (BDA). The sugar tax, originally designed to fight obesity (肥胖), appears to have had an unexpected yet positive impact on children’s tooth health. The policy seems to have led to a reduction in the intake of sugar-sweetened drinks among the younger population, which account for about 30% of the added sugars in the diets of children aged one to three, and over half for older teens aged from 13 to 16. The drop in tooth decay (蛀牙) that followed has saved more than 5,500 hospital admissions for tooth removals with the most significant reductions observed among children aged between five and nine. Despite the success of the sugar tax in reducing tooth removals, the BDA believes there is still room for further improvement. It suggests that the tax should also be put on other sugar-laden products like milk-based drinks, biscuits, cakes, sweets, yoghurts, and cereals. Eddie Crouch, from the BDA, expressed his support for the tax, stating that it is “delivering the goods in the fight against tooth decay.” The research shows the potential of more effective public health policies in improving child tooth health. The introduction of the sugar tax, which encouraged producers to lower the sugar content in soft drinks, has proved a direct relationship between policy application and significant health improvements. The study’s findings serve as a strong argument for the spread of the tax to other sugary products, with the potential to further reduce tooth decay and associated hospital admissions among children. 12. What can be inferred about the sugar tax? A. It has solved the problem of childhood obesity. B. It has been well received by drink producers. C. It has seen a result beyond expectations. D. It has been placed on all sugary foods in the UK. 13. Who showed the most significant drop in tooth removal? A. Parents with little kids. B. Children aged from one to three. C. Children aged between five and nine. D. Teenagers aged between thirteen and sixteen. 14. What is Eddie Crouch’s attitude towards the sugar tax? A. Mixed. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Positive. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Sugar tax for obesity. B. Tax’s impact on tooth health. C. BDA’s new tax push. D. Drop in sweet drink sales. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国一项针对含糖饮料征收的糖税，该政策意外地对儿童牙齿健康产生了积极影响，减少了儿童拔牙的情况，并探讨了将其扩展到其他高糖产品的可能性。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The sugar tax, originally designed to fight obesity(肥胖), appears to have had an unexpected yet positive impact on children’s tooth health.(糖税最初是为了对抗肥胖而设计的，似乎对儿童牙齿健康产生了意外但积极的影响)”可知，糖税的实际效果超出了最初预期（对抗肥胖），还意外改善了牙齿健康，所以糖税取得了意想不到的结果。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The drop in tooth decay (蛀牙) that followed has saved more than 5, 500 hospital admissions for tooth removals with the most significant reductions observed among children aged between five and nine.(蛀牙减少，减少了5500多起因拔牙而住院的情况，其中五到九岁儿童减少最为显著)”可知，五到九岁的儿童拔牙数量下降最多。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Eddie Crouch, from the BDA, expressed his support for the tax, stating that it is “delivering the goods in the fight against tooth decay. ”(来自BDA的Eddie Crouch表示支持这项税收，称它“在抗击蛀牙的斗争中取得了成效”)”可知，Eddie Crouch对糖税持积极态度。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Since the introduction of the sugar tax(税) in 2018, there has been a 12% decrease in the number of children requiring tooth removals(拔牙). This translates to nearly 5, 638 fewer cases each year. This improvement has led to calls for broadening the tax to include other high-sugar products, a move strongly supported by the British Dental Association(BDA).(自2018年引入糖税以来，需要拔牙的儿童数量减少了12%，这意味着每年减少了近5638例。这一改善促使人们呼吁将税收范围扩大到包括其他高糖产品，这一举措得到了英国牙科协会(BDA)的强烈支持)”可知，文章主要介绍了英国一项针对含糖饮料征收的糖税，该政策意外地对儿童牙齿健康产生了积极影响，减少了儿童拔牙的情况，并探讨了将其扩展到其他高糖产品的可能性。所以选项B“税收对儿童牙齿健康的影响”可作为文章的主旨大意。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能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。 Are you worn out by worrying and focusing on the negative?

Their friendship was a beautiful combination of creativity and understanding. They spent countless hours together, painting, drawing, and sharing their dreams of becoming famous artists one day. However, a school-wide art exhibition (展览) was approaching, threatening to put their friendship to a tough test. This exhibition was no ordinary event. It was a grand showcase, and the winning artworks would be exhibited at the well-known local art gallery for an entire month. Given their extraordinary talent, both Sarah and Mia were determined to win. As the preparations for the exhibition began, they started to drift apart (渐行渐远). Sarah began to notice that Mia was becoming increasingly secretive. Mia would lock herself in her room for hours on end, leaving Sarah in the dark about her creative process. Whenever Sarah asked to see her work in progress, Mia would find an excuse to refuse. This behavior left Sarah feeling deeply hurt. She had always been an open book with Mia, sharing every sketch, every raw idea, believing that their friendship was based on trust and openness. On the day of handing in the artworks, the tension reached its peak (顶峰). Sarah met Mia in the art room. “Why have you been acting so strange? We used to share everything, but now you’re shutting me out!” Sarah exclaimed, her voice filled with hurt. Mia looked away, avoiding Sarah’s eyes. “I just ... I want to win this so badly. I thought if I worked alone, I’d have a better chance, ” she mumbled. Just then, the art teacher walked in, ready to collect the artworks, and the situation seemed tenser than ever. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The art teacher, sensing the thick tension, asked them to step into her office. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As they worked side by side, Sarah felt comfort and joy welling up inside her. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The art teacher, sensing the thick tension, asked them to step into her office. She gently closed the door and said, “I see two talented artists who have forgotten why they started creating art together.” She suggested they look at each other's work before submitting. Unwillingly, Mia showed her painting — a beautiful but lonely tree standing in an empty field. Sarah’s eyes filled with tears as she realized Mia had been struggling with self-doubt. “I thought I wasn’t good enough,” Mia confessed. Sarah immediately hugged her friend, showing her own painting - the same tree, but surrounded by colorful flowers. "We complete each other’s painting," Sarah whispered. As they worked side by side, Sarah felt comfort and joy welling up inside her. They decided to combine their paintings into one masterpiece. Sarah added vibrant flowers around Mia’s tree, while Mia painted delicate birds flying towards the blossoms. Their styles blended perfectly, creating a harmony that could not exist with either of their efforts. When the exhibition opened, their joint work titled “Friendship Blossoms” became the most talked-about piece. Though they didn’t win first prize, something more important happened — the art teacher announced a new “Best Collaboration” award just for them. As they stood proudly by their painting, Mia squeezed Sarah’s hand and said, “This is worth more than any prize.” Sarah smiled, knowing their friendship was the true work of art. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一对好朋友Sarah和Mia经常一起画画、分享自己成为艺术家的梦想，但有一天，学校准备举办艺术展览，Sarah和Mia都希望在此次展览中获得胜利，这导致两人渐行渐远。Sarah为此感到伤心，两人对峙僵持不下，终于在交稿日的这天，紧张的气氛达到了顶峰。然而，在美术老师的帮助下，Sarah和Mia解开了彼此的心结，并决定一起创作一幅画来参展。她们也终于明白：最重要的不是赢得胜利，而是珍贵的友谊。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“美术老师察觉到气氛非常紧张，便让她们进入自己的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写美术老师如何帮助Sarah和Mia解开彼此的心结，并重新和好。 ②由第二段首句内容“她们肩并肩工作着，Sarah感到内心涌起了欣慰和喜悦。”可知，第二段可描写Sarah和Mia一起合作完成作品，并意识到友谊才是彼此最珍贵的宝物。 2.续写线索：老师调解——两人和解——决定一起创作——创作过程——展览结果——两人的感悟 3.词汇激活 动作类 ①建议：suggest/advise/propose ②紧紧拥抱：hug each other tightly/give her a tight hug /embrace her tightly ③绘画：draw/paint 情绪类 ①哭泣：cry/weep/eyes fill with tears/burst into tears ②忏悔：confess/regret/feeling of regret well up inside her ③欣慰：feel comforted/feel relieved/breathe a sign of relief 【点睛】【高分句型1】Sarah’s eyes filled with tears as she realized Mia had been struggling with self-doubt.（as引导的原因状语从句） 【高分句型2】Sarah immediately hugged her friend, showing her own painting - the same tree, but surrounded by colorful flowers. （非谓语动词做状语和定语） 【高分句型3】Their styles blended perfectly, creating a harmony that could not exist with either of their efforts.（非谓语动词做状语，和由关系代词that引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
