Although I have few regrets about my education, there are a few things I wish I’d known earlier as a girl. 1. Keep Trying Even If You Fail As kids, we try new things fearlessly. If we make mistakes, we keep trying until we learn. But once school starts, parents and teachers usually only praise us when we do things perfectly. What happens? We stop trying new things because we’re afraid of getting them wrong. I now remind myself: “I refuse to quit halfway until I make it.” 2. Compare Yourself to Yourself I always wanted to be the best, and one way of feeling good about myself was to see how much better I was than others. There was only one problem with this. When I saw they were better than me, I felt terrible. But now, instead of comparing myself to others, I ask: “Did I give my best effort?” 3. Don’t Worry Too Much How much energy do we waste worrying about the future? I used to worry a lot. Now I know most things you fear usually never happen. If they happen, then they will most often not be as bad as you expected. Yes, most fears are imaginary. In 6 months, you probably won’t even remember most of the things you worry about now. If I could go back in time, I would tell my younger self these three important lessons. They would have helped me face challenges with more confidence. 14. What does “afraid of getting them wrong” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Scared of making mistakes. B. Happy to try new things. C. Excited about challenges. D. Angry at failing tests. 15. How does the writer deal with competition now? A. She avoids competing with others to stay happy. B. She tries to improve herself instead of comparing. C. She works much harder than others to be the best. D. She asks friends for help when facing challenges. 16. What does the writer think about worrying? A. Worrying helps us prepare for challenges. B.

The writer’s school memories. B. Why the writer regretted her education. C. How to make progress at school. D. Lessons the writer learned late in life. C Sophia is a human-like robot developed by Hanson Robotics, a company based in Hong Kong. Designed to look and act like a human, Sophia has a lifelike face, smooth skin, and expressive eyes that can show emotions such as joy, sadness, or curiosity. She can hold conversations, answer questions, and even tell jokes using advanced artificial intelligence (AI). One of Sophia’s key features (特点) is her ability to recognize (辨别) faces. Her eyes have cameras that help her “see” people and remember their appearances. For example, if you meet her twice, she might say, “Nice to see you again!” This skill allows her to interact naturally with humans. Sophia’s creators aim for her to help people in different fields. She has worked in hospitals to support doctors by guiding patients, appeared in TV shows, and even made a speech at the United Nations about the role of robots in society. Sophia’s AI system learns from experience. Although she sometimes makes mistakes, her knowledge grows over time. In 2017, Saudi Arabia made history by giving her citizenship, making her the first robot to receive such a status. This event caused global discussions about the future of robots and humans. Some people worry that robots like Sophia might take over human jobs. However, Hanson Robotics explains that their goal is to create robots that work with humans, not replace them. For example, robots can do repetitive tasks in factories and companies, while humans focus on creative work. Sophia’s team also believes robots could help in education, teaching students languages or science in fun ways. Today, Sophia continues to improve. She can now speak over 20 languages and even create art! While she is still learning, her existence shows how quickly digital evolution (数字进化) is advancing. Scientists predict that in the future, robots like Sophia might become common helpers in homes, schools, and offices. Sophia reminds us that robots are not just machines—they could be our partners in building a better world. 18. What is one of Sophia’s key abilities mentioned in the article? A. Cooking delicious meals for humans. B. Flying high above cities to take photos. C. Recognizing faces with cameras in her eyes. D. Predicting weather changes by studying clouds. 19. What does the word “interact” mean in Paragraph 2? A. To fight with someone. B. To communicate or work together. C. To have an interview with someone. D. To compete against someone. 20. What is Hanson Robotics’ main purpose for creating Sophia? A. To replace all human workers in factories and companies. B. To let robots do simple tasks so humans can work on creative jobs. C. To sell human-like robots to TV shows for fun performances. D. To prove that robots are smarter and better than humans. 21. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. How to Build a Robot at Home B. Why Robots Are Dangerous C. The History of Hanson Robotics D. Sophia: A Robot Partner for the Future D One cold winter evening, Dr Watson sat by the fireplace in 221B Baker Street, reading a newspaper. Sherlock Holmes, as usual, was pacing the room, deep in thought. Suddenly, there was a loud knock at the door. A young woman in an elegant blue dress rushed in, her face pale with worry. “Mr Holmes please help me!” she cried. “My diamond necklace was stolen during my birthday party last night! My father gave it to me before he passed away. It’s priceless!” Holmes calmly invited her to sit. “Tell me everything, Miss…?” “Clara White,” she replied, wiping her tears. “The party was at my home in Kensington. Only four close friends and my maid were there. I wore the necklace all evening, but when I went to bed, it was gone!” The Investigation Begins (调查展开) Holmes and Watson arrived at Clara’s grand townhouse. The drawing room still had decorations from the party—gold ribbons (丝带), half-empty champagne (香槟酒) glasses, and a piano in the corner. The five people at the party were Clara’s cousin Mr Edward Green, Mrs Emily Brown, the maid Miss Lucy, her neighbor Dr Henry Cole, and a family friend Mr James Hart. Holmes examined Clara’s bedroom first. The window was slightly open, and icy wind blew through the curtains. “Did you open this window Miss White?” Holmes asked. “Never! I always lock it,” Clara insisted. “Someone forced it open from the outside,” Holmes muttered. Outside, he found muddy (泥泞的) footprints along the garden wall. … The Clues Unfold (线索浮现) Returning to the piano, Holmes looked through the sheet music. “Mr Green, what did you play at 8 p. m.?” “Moonlight Sonata,” Green answered quickly. “Yet the sheet on the stand is Für Elise,” Holmes said sharply. “And your shoes—see the mud? It matches the garden footprints!” Green’s face turned red. “I… I needed money! I climbed in through the window and hid the necklace in my coat!” The Resolution (真相大白) Holmes took the necklace from Green’s pocket. Clara hugged it tightly, her eyes filled with happy tears. “Thank you, Mr Holmes! How did you know?” “Simple, my dear,” Holmes said. “The mud matched, and no true pianist forgets his music.” As they left, Watson shook his head in amazement. “Remarkable, Holmes!” 22. How does the story begin to catch the readers’ attention? A. By describing a peaceful winter night. B. By explaining Sherlock Holmes’ daily habits. C. With a sudden knock and a worried visitor. D.

It describes the decorations in the house. C. It only shows readers characters’ personalities. D. It includes clues, like Mr Green’s lie about the music. 25. What is the main lesson of this story? A.

The book is a dramatic work by Shakespeare, a famous English writer in the16th century. It tells the story of conflicts and deals between merchants in Venice. The main characters are Bassanio, Portia, Shylock and Antonio. The drama begins with Antonio, who helps Bassanio borrow money from Shylock, and then brings out other stories. Bassanio is a poor merchant. He needs money to follow his dream to marry Portia—a wealthy and beautiful lady. He asks his friend Antonio, also a merchant in Venice, for help. Antonio borrows the money from Shylock, a Jewish moneylender. Shylock is a little mean and loves money very much. Antonio promises he will pay the money back in three months, otherwise Shylock will be allowed to cut one pound of flesh from his body. Bassanio successfully wins Portia’s love but soon discovers that his friend Antonio cannot return the money to Shylock on time. Bassanio rushes back to Venice and joins the trial (审判). The reason why Antonio couldn’t return the money was that his ships were destroyed in a storm. Portia, dressing up as a young lawyer, argues that Shylock’s contract (合同) allows him to take “one pound of flesh” but not a drop of blood. She points out that Shylock is only allowed to remove flesh, but not any blood, which is impossible. In the end, _______________________. 54.

Sherlock Holmes, as usual, was pacing the room, deep in thought. Suddenly, there was a loud knock at the door. A young woman in an elegant blue dress rushed in, her face pale with worry. “Mr Holmes, please help me!” she cried. “My diamond necklace was stolen during my birthday party last night! My father gave it to me before he passed away. It’s priceless!” Holmes calmly invited her to sit. “Tell me everything, Miss…?” “Clara White,” she replied, wiping her tears. “The party was at my home in Kensington. Only four close friends and my maid were there. I wore the necklace all evening, but when I went to bed, it was gone!” The Investigation Begins (调查展开) Holmes and Watson arrived at Clara’s grand townhouse. The drawing room still had decorations from the party—gold ribbons (丝带), half-empty champagne (香槟酒) glasses, and a piano in the corner. The five people at the party were Clara’s cousin Mr Edward Green, Mrs Emily Brown, the maid Miss Lucy, her neighbor Dr Henry Cole, and a family friend Mr James Hart. Holmes examined Clara’s bedroom first. The window was slightly open, and icy wind blew through the curtains. “Did you open this window, Miss White?” Holmes asked. “Never! I always lock it,” Clara insisted. “Someone forced it open from the outside,” Holmes muttered. Outside, he found muddy (泥泞的) footprints along the garden wall. … The Clues Unfold (线索浮现) Returning to the piano, Holmes looked through the sheet music. “Mr Green, what did you play at 8 p. m.?” “Moonlight Sonata,” Green answered quickly. “Yet the sheet on the stand is Für Elise,” Holmes said sharply. “And your shoes—see the mud? It matches the garden footprints!” Green’s face turned red. “I… I needed money! I climbed in through the window and hid the necklace in my coat!” The Resolution (真相大白) Holmes took the necklace from Green’s pocket. Clara hugged it tightly, her eyes filled with happy tears. “Thank you, Mr Holmes! How did you know?” “Simple, my dear,” Holmes said. “The mud matched, and no true pianist forgets his music.” As they left, Watson shook his head in amazement. “Remarkable, Holmes!” 22. How does the story begin to catch the readers’ attention? A. By describing a peaceful winter night. B. By explaining Sherlock Holmes’ daily habits. C. With a sudden knock and a worried visitor. D. By introducing Clara’s family history. 23. How did Holmes prove Mr Green was the thief? A. The maid saw him steal the necklace. B. He had the necklace in his hand. C. He was Clara’s cousin and lived nearby. D. His shoes matched the muddy footprints. 24. How does dialogue help move the story forward? A. It doesn’t help to solve the mystery. B. It describes the decorations in the house. C. It only shows readers characters’ personalities. D. It includes clues, like Mr Green’s lie about the music. 25. What is the main lesson of this story? A. Always lock your windows. B. Small details can solve big mysteries. C Never trust family members. D. Diamonds are easy to steal. 【答案】22. C 23. D 24. D 25. B 【解析】 【导语】本文通过福尔摩斯的细致观察和推理，展示了如何通过细节线索解决复杂的案件，强调了观察力和逻辑推理的重要性。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据开头部分“Suddenly, there was a loud knock at the door.

It matches the garden footprints!”可知，Holmes通过Mr Green鞋子上的泥巴与花园里的脚印相匹配来证明他是小偷。故选D。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据“‘Yet the sheet on the stand is Für Elise,’ Holmes said sharply. ‘And your shoes—see the mud? It matches the garden footprints!’”可知，对话中包含了线索，如Mr Green关于音乐的谎言，推动了故事的发展。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据“‘Simple, my dear,’ Holmes said. ‘The mud matched, and no true pianist forgets his music.’”可知，故事主要启示我们是小的细节可以解决大的谜团。故选B。 第三部分 信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I asked, “What should we call you?” He replied, “My name is Captain Nemo, and the name of my ship is Nautilus.” ____26____ He showed us the library, the art gallery, and the engine room.

The book is a dramatic work by Shakespeare, a famous English writer in the16th century. It tells the story of conflicts and deals between merchants in Venice. The main characters are Bassanio, Portia, Shylock and Antonio. The drama begins with Antonio, who helps Bassanio borrow money from Shylock, and then brings out other stories. Bassanio is a poor merchant. He needs money to follow his dream to marry Portia—a wealthy and beautiful lady. He asks his friend Antonio, also a merchant in Venice, for help. Antonio borrows the money from Shylock, a Jewish moneylender. Shylock is a little mean and loves money very much. Antonio promises he will pay the money back in three months, otherwise Shylock will be allowed to cut one pound of flesh from his body. Bassanio successfully wins Portia’s love but soon discovers that his friend Antonio cannot return the money to Shylock on time. Bassanio rushes back to Venice and joins the trial (审判). The reason why Antonio couldn’t return the money was that his ships were destroyed in a storm. Portia, dressing up as a young lawyer, argues that Shylock’s contract (合同) allows him to take “one pound of flesh” but not a drop of blood. She points out that Shylock is only allowed to remove flesh, but not any blood, which is impossible. In the end, _______________________. 54. How many main characters are mentioned in this passage? _______________________ 55. What is the ending of the story? Please use your own words to fill in the blank in Paragraph 5. _______________________ 56. What kind of person is Portia? Give at least one reason based on the story. _______________________ 【答案】54. Four./4. 55. Bassanio and Portia have a happy ending. 56. Portia is clever and brave because she dresses up as a lawyer and successfully saves Antonio. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇戏剧介绍，主要讲述了莎士比亚的戏剧《威尼斯商人》的故事情节，包括主要人物和关键事件。 【54题详解】 根据“The main characters are Bassanio, Portia, Shylock and Antonio.”可知，短文中明确提到了四位人物。故填Four./4. 【55题详解】 根据“Portia, dressing up as a young lawyer…She points out that Shylock is only allowed to remove flesh, but not any blood, which is impossible.”可知，Shylock因为“只准割肉不准流血”的限制，无法从Antonio身上割下任何肉，最终败诉，因此Bassanio和Portia过上了快乐生活。故填Bassanio and Portia have a happy ending. 【56题详解】 开放性问题，言之有理即可。参考答案为Portia is clever and brave because she dresses up as a lawyer and successfully saves Antonio. 第七部分 书面表达（共1题；满分25 分） 57. 有些“对不起”说出口的瞬间、才发现语言轻得像羽毛。或许是与好友赌气摔门的刹那，或许是无心之言刺痛家人的时刻——你经历过“道歉也无法挽回”的瞬间吗？请以 “When Sorry Isn’t Enough”为题用英语写一篇短文。 内容包括：1.

She accidentally broke my favorite pen, and I shouted at her in front of the whole class. Though I apologized immediately, she avoided me for days. My words had deeply hurt her pride, and a simple “sorry” couldn’t erase the public embarrassment I caused. Later, I realized words alone weren’t enough. I wrote her a heartfelt letter, explaining my regret and promising to be more thoughtful. I also helped her with math homework she struggled with. Gradually, she forgave me. This taught me that true apologies need actions, not just words.
