I was a student at the University of Cincinnati’s music academy, looking for something to do outside of musical harmony classes. Somehow, I found myself at a printer’s office in Northern Kentucky, making final edits for Ed’s small Cincinnati newspaper. It wasn’t until I’d been there a few months that I realized how much Ed changed the world around him and changed my life in the process.
Ed started the paper because the local daily papers of the time turned a blind eye to some problems in the local community and gave little space to social issues affecting disadvantaged groups. Ed’s paper was a small, 16-page monthly one, handed out for free in bars.
He often encouraged “non-writers” to write if they had a story to tell. Some of them were inexperienced writers. He worked with them until the words better expressed their ideas. When I turned in a story about an unpopular topic, he only asked, “Is it true?” and “Does it affect people?” Satisfied by my answers, he ran the story.
What drove Ed? It wasn’t fame, for the paper’s limited resources (资源) kept him unknown; it wasn’t money, for he ran the paper at a deficit (赤字) for its whole life of eight years. More than once, I remembered him having to choose between paying his rent and paying the printer. Perhaps his real drive was revealed in a recent phone conversation. While talking about a common friend, I said, “He fought the good fight.” Ed responded, “The good fight’s never over.”
I don’t believe events make heroes; I believe heroes are the result of long-standing goodness. Ed’s story proved the value of constancy (坚定不移) and expressed the significance of working for good causes. He showed how one person, working tirelessly, could help a population get over its problems. Above all, his example showed me the necessity of making my own contributions to the causes I believe in.
4. Why did Ed set up the Cincinnati newspaper?
A. To promote new writers’ works.
B. To improve his printer’s business.
C. To find talent from disadvantaged groups.
D. To reflect overlooked social problems.
5. What is Ed’s attitude towards storytellers like the author?
A. Unfavorable. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Picky.
6. What does the “good fight” in paragraph 4 mainly refer to?
A. Making a name for himself.
B. Overcoming funding problems.
C. Doing worthy and kind causes.
D. Creating a significant profit.
7. Which of the following can best describe Ed?
A. Determined and caring. B. Proud and single-minded.
C. Frank and generous. D. Careful and hard-working.
C
Deep sleep doesn’t just rest your body. Scientists believe it’s also when the brain washes away toxins (毒素), with a new project looking at whether the brain’s self-clean can be boosted.
South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) neuroscientist Dr TimSargeant has teamed with Dr Edward Robins from SAHMRI’s Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Unit to develop a brain scan that shows how well a brain is cleaning itself. Studies have shown that a clean brain would help with memory awhile fighting dementia (痴呆).
Scientists believe our brains clean themselves out each night when we enter deep sleep. Cerebrospinal fluid (脑脊液) is thought to wash through the brain, cleaning out toxins. Studies have shown a clear link between poor memory and toxins like the buildup of sticky plaques (粘性斑块) in the brains. Scientists believe brains that have a buildup of this plaque over time may not be cleaning themselves properly, putting people at risk of dementia.
Fortunately, the hope is that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia. The brain scan will use special material to track how well the brain can keep itself clean and healthy through the process of removing and recycling its waste. “We’re aiming to catch the signs of the brain struggling to keep itself clean in individuals around the age of 50 or 60, well before the onset of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病) in most people,” Dr Sargeant said.
This new scan, an exciting imaging technology, will allow scientists to form a picture of a living brain and watch how it’s recycling wasting material in real time. “The scan takes out a lot of the guess work, by allowing scientists to see with their own eyes if they’ve hit the target or not,” Dr Robins said. “Without imaging, a researcher can get all the way up to the trial stage before realizing they’re at a dead end.”
8. What is the aim of Dr Sargeant and Dr Robins’ developing the brain scan?
A. To aid people to enter deep sleep.
B. To research how to remove sticky plaques.
C. To track the brain’s self-cleaning capability.
D. To cure people of memory loss and dementia.
9. What may cause dementia according to the text?
A. Not enough blood in the brain.
B. The over-cleaning of the brain.
C The increase of cerebrospinal fluid.
D. The gradual increase of sticky plaques.
10. What does the underlined word “onset” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Worsening. B. Beginning. C. Improvement. D. Disappearance.
11. What does Dr Robins think of the brain scan?
A. It is quite effective. B. It is just imaginary.
C. It brings more work. D. It is far from exact.
D
Being a vegetarian (素食者) in a meat-eating culture isn’t always easy. I always get asked, “Why? Since when? How come?” and “How can you stand not eating meat?”
For me, being a vegetarian isn’t strange; it’s just who and what I am. I’m sick and tired of people judging (评价) me based on a personal choice that has nothing to do with them. Honestly, I could understand if my decision had an influence on their lives, but the thing is it doesn’t, so they should just get over it.
If anything, more people should be vegetarians. It’s a fact that a vegetarian has a lower risk of cancer, heart attacks, and high blood pressure. Being a vegetarian can help people live a longer life because they are eating healthily and not taking in the fat found in non-vegetarian diets. While all diets need to be balanced, it is possible to get protein, minerals and nutrients from vegetable sources. Vegetables, milk and eggs have all the requirements your body needs to survive.
If you are creative, a vegetarian diet is far from boring. As vegetables come in various types and tastes, they can be prepared and eaten in countless ways. There are so many vegetarian cookbooks, which shows this is a fact.
I find it funny when people say vegetarians do not get enough energy from their diet. My answer is to mention Dave Scott, the first person to win the IRONMAN World Championship six times! Yes, surprise, surprise, at the time he was a vegetarian.
Vegetarianism is better for the planet because the ecological footprint of vegetarians is smaller. So next time you want to judge someone's personal choice to go veggie, remember they have their reasons, not the least of which are concerns for animals and the state of the planet.
12. How does the author feel about others’ opinions on his diet?
A. Curious. B. Annoyed. C. Appreciative. D. Unconcerned.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about a vegetarian diet?
A. Its advantages. B. Its sources. C. Its varieties. D. Its popularity.
14. Why does the author mention Dave Scott in paragraph 5?
A. To show what a vegetarian diet is like.
B. To present a study on vegetarian diets.
C. To suggest a vegetarian diet is healthy.
D. To explore why some athletes are vegetarians.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. My Road to Becoming a Vegetarian
B. Mistaken Beliefs about Vegetarianism
C. Vegetarianism: A Common Phenomenon
D. Vegetarianism: More Than a Personal Choice

It was late December. It was the great Christmas shopping time. I asked my son and daughter to go together, but they preferred to play at home.
People were busy buying gifts for their beloved ones. It seemed that the bigger the gifts were the better they would be. I shook my head sadly and walked on. I was shopping alone trying to pick up some thick winter socks to warm my frozen feet.
As I rounded the corner in the store I saw a Christmas tree full of paper angels (天使). On each angel was the name of a needy child whose family couldn’t afford to buy them a gift that year. Shoppers who picked an angel could buy a simple toy or gift. The store would wrap it and send it to the child that Christmas.
Around the tree I saw a teenage boy and girl picking out several angels. Their mother was smiling while she watched them. I walked up next to her and started talking with her. She told me that her children started this several years ago when she first explained to them what the Charity Angel tree was for. Each offered to give up one of their toys that year so that a needy child could have one. It didn’t stop then, though. Each year since the kids had saved money they earned throughout the year and bought more and more children the gifts they wouldn't have otherwise. It had become a family tradition.
注意:
1.续写词数应为100个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Her voice faded, and before I knew it, I was standing before the Christmas tree.

Waving them goodbye, I left the store, a plan for next Christmas taking shape in my mind.

I was a student at the University of Cincinnati’s music academy, looking for something to do outside of musical harmony classes. Somehow, I found myself at a printer’s office in Northern Kentucky, making final edits for Ed’s small Cincinnati newspaper. It wasn’t until I’d been there a few months that I realized how much Ed changed the world around him and changed my life in the process.
Ed started the paper because the local daily papers of the time turned a blind eye to some problems in the local community and gave little space to social issues affecting disadvantaged groups. Ed’s paper was a small, 16-page monthly one, handed out for free in bars.
He often encouraged “non-writers” to write if they had a story to tell. Some of them were inexperienced writers. He worked with them until the words better expressed their ideas. When I turned in a story about an unpopular topic, he only asked, “Is it true?” and “Does it affect people?” Satisfied by my answers, he ran the story.
What drove Ed? It wasn’t fame, for the paper’s limited resources (资源) kept him unknown; it wasn’t money, for he ran the paper at a deficit (赤字) for its whole life of eight years. More than once, I remembered him having to choose between paying his rent and paying the printer. Perhaps his real drive was revealed in a recent phone conversation. While talking about a common friend, I said, “He fought the good fight.” Ed responded, “The good fight’s never over.”
I don’t believe events make heroes; I believe heroes are the result of long-standing goodness. Ed’s story proved the value of constancy (坚定不移) and expressed the significance of working for good causes. He showed how one person, working tirelessly, could help a population get over its problems. Above all, his example showed me the necessity of making my own contributions to the causes I believe in.
4. Why did Ed set up the Cincinnati newspaper?
A. To promote new writers’ works.
B. To improve his printer’s business.
C. To find talent from disadvantaged groups.
D. To reflect overlooked social problems.
5. What is Ed’s attitude towards storytellers like the author?
A. Unfavorable. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Picky.
6. What does the “good fight” in paragraph 4 mainly refer to?
A. Making a name for himself.
B. Overcoming funding problems.
C. Doing worthy and kind causes.
D. Creating a significant profit.
7 Which of the following can best describe Ed?
A. Determined and caring. B. Proud and single-minded.
C. Frank and generous. D. Careful and hard-working.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Ed通过办报纸来关注社会问题并影响他人的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Ed started the paper because the local daily papers of the time turned a blind eye to some problems in the local community and gave little space to social issues affecting disadvantaged groups.(Ed之所以创办这份报纸,是因为当时的地方日报对当地社区的一些问题视而不见,对影响弱势群体的社会问题报道很少)”可知,Ed创办这份报纸是为了反映被忽视的社会问题。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段提到“He often encouraged ‘non-writers’ to write if they had a story to tell. Some of them were inexperienced writers. He worked with them until the words better expressed their ideas. When I turned in a story about an unpopular topic, he only asked, ‘Is it true?’ and ‘Does it affect people?’ Satisfied by my answers, he ran the story.( 他经常鼓励‘非作家’,如果他们有故事要讲,就去写作。他们中的一些人是没有经验的作家。他和他们一起工作,直到文字更好地表达了他们的想法。当我提交一篇关于一个不受欢迎的话题的报道时,他只问:‘这是真的吗?’和‘它会影响人吗?’他对我的回答很满意,于是发表了这篇报道)”可知,Ed对像作者这样的讲故事的人是支持的。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Ed’s story proved the value of constancy (坚定不移) and expressed the significance of working for good causes.

Deep sleep doesn’t just rest your body. Scientists believe it’s also when the brain washes away toxins (毒素), with a new project looking at whether the brain’s self-clean can be boosted.
South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) neuroscientist Dr TimSargeant has teamed with Dr Edward Robins from SAHMRI’s Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Unit to develop a brain scan that shows how well a brain is cleaning itself. Studies have shown that a clean brain would help with memory awhile fighting dementia (痴呆).
Scientists believe our brains clean themselves out each night when we enter deep sleep. Cerebrospinal fluid (脑脊液) is thought to wash through the brain, cleaning out toxins. Studies have shown a clear link between poor memory and toxins like the buildup of sticky plaques (粘性斑块) in the brains. Scientists believe brains that have a buildup of this plaque over time may not be cleaning themselves properly, putting people at risk of dementia.
Fortunately, the hope is that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia. The brain scan will use special material to track how well the brain can keep itself clean and healthy through the process of removing and recycling its waste. “We’re aiming to catch the signs of the brain struggling to keep itself clean in individuals around the age of 50 or 60, well before the onset of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病) in most people,” Dr Sargeant said.
This new scan, an exciting imaging technology, will allow scientists to form a picture of a living brain and watch how it’s recycling wasting material in real time. “The scan takes out a lot of the guess work, by allowing scientists to see with their own eyes if they’ve hit the target or not,” Dr Robins said. “Without imaging, a researcher can get all the way up to the trial stage before realizing they’re at a dead end.”
8. What is the aim of Dr Sargeant and Dr Robins’ developing the brain scan?
A To aid people to enter deep sleep.
B. To research how to remove sticky plaques.
C. To track the brain’s self-cleaning capability.
D. To cure people of memory loss and dementia.
9. What may cause dementia according to the text?
A. Not enough blood in the brain.
B. The over-cleaning of the brain.
C. The increase of cerebrospinal fluid.
D. The gradual increase of sticky plaques.
10. What does the underlined word “onset” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Worsening. B. Beginning. C. Improvement. D. Disappearance.
11. What does Dr Robins think of the brain scan?
A. It is quite effective. B. It is just imaginary.
C. It brings more work. D. It is far from exact.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了科学家们的一个新研究项目,即开发一种大脑扫描技术,来观察大脑自我清洁的能力,研究大脑自我清洁与痴呆症之间的关系,以及这种扫描技术在研究中的作用。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) neuroscientist Dr Tim Sargeant has teamed with Dr Edward Robins from SAHMRI's Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Unit to develop a brain scan that shows how well a brain is cleaning itself. (南澳大利亚健康与医学研究所(SAHMRI)的神经科学家蒂姆・萨金特博士与该研究所分子成像与治疗研究部门的爱德华・罗宾斯博士合作,开发出一种脑部扫描技术,该技术能显示大脑自我清洁的程度。)”可知,Sargeant博士和Robins博士开发大脑扫描技术的目的是追踪大脑的自我清洁能力。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段后两句“Studies have shown a clear link between poor memory and toxins like the buildup of sticky plaques (粘性斑块) in the brains. Scientists believe brains that have a buildup of this plaque over time may not be cleaning themselves properly, putting people at risk of dementia. (研究表明,记忆力差与大脑中粘性斑块等毒素之间存在明显联系。科学家认为,随着时间推移,这种斑块在大脑中积聚,可能无法正常自我清洁,从而使人们面临患痴呆症的风险。)”可知,大脑中粘性斑块的逐渐增加可能会导致痴呆症。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段最后一句““We’ re aiming to catch the signs of the brain struggling to keep itself clean in individuals around the age of 50 or 60, well before the onset of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病) in most people,” Dr Sargeant said. (萨金特博士说:“我们的目标是在大多数人患上阿尔茨海默病之前,捕捉到50岁或60岁左右的人脑部在努力自我清洁时出现的迹象。”)”可知,他们的目标是在大多数人患阿尔茨海默病之前,捕捉50或60岁左右的人大脑努力保持自我清洁的迹象。“onset”所在句子表达在阿尔茨海默病开始之前,所以“onset”意思是“开始”。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句““The scan takes out a lot of the guess work, by allowing scientists to see with their own eyes if they've hit the target or not,” Dr Robins said. “Without imaging, a researcher can get all the way up to the trial stage before realizing they’ re at a dead end.” (“这项扫描省去了很多猜测的工作,因为它能让科学家亲眼看到他们是否达到了目标,”罗宾斯博士说,“如果没有成像技术,研究人员可能一路推进到试验阶段,才意识到自己走进了死胡同。”)”可推知,Robins博士认为这种大脑扫描技术相当有效,能让科学家亲眼看到他们是否达到了目标,从而省去了很多猜测工作。故选A项。
D
Being a vegetarian (素食者) in a meat-eating culture isn’t always easy. I always get asked, “Why? Since when? How come?” and “How can you stand not eating meat?”
For me, being a vegetarian isn’t strange; it’s just who and what I am. I’m sick and tired of people judging (评价) me based on a personal choice that has nothing to do with them. Honestly, I could understand if my decision had an influence on their lives, but the thing is it doesn’t, so they should just get over it.
If anything, more people should be vegetarians. It’s a fact that a vegetarian has a lower risk of cancer, heart attacks, and high blood pressure. Being a vegetarian can help people live a longer life because they are eating healthily and not taking in the fat found in non-vegetarian diets. While all diets need to be balanced, it is possible to get protein, minerals and nutrients from vegetable sources. Vegetables, milk and eggs have all the requirements your body needs to survive.
If you are creative, a vegetarian diet is far from boring. As vegetables come in various types and tastes, they can be prepared and eaten in countless ways. There are so many vegetarian cookbooks, which shows this is a fact.
I find it funny when people say vegetarians do not get enough energy from their diet. My answer is to mention Dave Scott, the first person to win the IRONMAN World Championship six times! Yes, surprise, surprise, at the time he was a vegetarian.
Vegetarianism is better for the planet because the ecological footprint of vegetarians is smaller. So next time you want to judge someone's personal choice to go veggie, remember they have their reasons, not the least of which are concerns for animals and the state of the planet.
12. How does the author feel about others’ opinions on his diet?
A. Curious. B. Annoyed. C. Appreciative. D. Unconcerned.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about a vegetarian diet?
A. Its advantages. B. Its sources. C. Its varieties. D. Its popularity.
14. Why does the author mention Dave Scott in paragraph 5?
A. To show what a vegetarian diet is like.
B. To present a study on vegetarian diets.
C. To suggest a vegetarian diet is healthy.
D. To explore why some athletes are vegetarians.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. My Road to Becoming a Vegetarian
B. Mistaken Beliefs about Vegetarianism
C. Vegetarianism: A Common Phenomenon
D. Vegetarianism: More Than a Personal Choice
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了作者坚持素食主义的原因及素食主义的好处。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“For me, being a vegetarian isn’t strange; it’s just who and what I am. I’m sick and tired of people judging (评价) me based on a personal choice that has nothing to do with them. Honestly, I could understand if my decision had an influence on their lives, but the thing is it doesn’t, so they should just get over it.(对我来说,吃素并不奇怪;只是我是谁,我是什么。我厌倦了人们根据与他们无关的个人选择来评判我。说实话,如果我的决定影响了他们的生活,我能理解,但事实是没有,所以他们应该忘掉这件事)”可知,作者厌倦了人们根据与他们无关的个人选择来评判自己,由此可推知,作者对别人的看法感到不满和生气。故选B。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段内容,尤其是“It’s a fact that a vegetarian has a lower risk of cancer, heart attacks, and high blood pressure. Being a vegetarian can help people live a longer life because they are eating healthily and not taking in the fat found in non-vegetarian diets.(事实上,素食者患癌症、心脏病和高血压的风险较低。成为素食者可以帮助人们活得更久,因为他们吃得健康,不会摄入非素食者饮食中的脂肪)”可知,本段主要描述了素食饮食对健康的益处。因此,这段主要讲述了素食饮食的优点。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“I find it funny when people say vegetarians do not get enough energy from their diet. My answer is to mention Dave Scott, the first person to win the IRONMAN World Championship six times! Yes, surprise, surprise, at the time he was a vegetarian.(当人们说素食者不能从饮食中获得足够的能量时,我觉得很有趣。我的回答是提到Dave Scott,他是第一个六次赢得铁人世界锦标赛的人!是的,惊喜,惊喜,那时候他还是个素食主义者)”可知,本段提到Dave Scott是为了举例说明素食者可以在体能和健康方面也表现优异,从而支持素食健康这一观点。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合最后一段“Vegetarianism is better for the planet because the ecological footprint of vegetarians is smaller. So next time you want to judge someone's personal choice to go veggie, remember they have their reasons, not the least of which are concerns for animals and the state of the planet.(素食对地球更好,因为素食者的生态足迹更小。所以,下次你想评判某人选择素食的个人选择时,请记住他们有他们的理由,其中最重要的是对动物和地球状况的关注)”可知,文章不仅强调素食和个人选择,还涉及健康、生态和动物保护,因此标题应体现其超越个人选择的层面,D项“素食主义:不仅仅是个人选择”最适合作为标题。故选D。

An Unforgettable Experience
Last week witnessed an event named International Music Night in our school hall, which turned out to be the most unforgettable experience in my high school life.
A wide range of activities formed an inviting atmosphere, from singing songs of different languages to performing various musical instruments, providing us with a feast for both eyes and ears. Participants had opportunities to explore their own artistic talents and show their passion for music. Among the colorful activities, what impressed me most was trying a bamboo flute myself, enabling me to be immersed in the charm of music.
Not only did this meaningful event allow me to appreciate different music styles, but it also strengthened my belief in how music connects people worldwide.
范文二:
A Rewarding Farming Experience
This year’s Labor Day left a deep impression on me, as I experienced firsthand the value of labor through a whole day spent working on a farm.
Early in the morning, we gathered at the school gate and took a bus to the farm in high spirits. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the farmer who first gave us a detailed introduction of some agricultural techniques. Then the farm activities provided us with hands-on experience in areas such as planting, feeding and harvesting. Finally, the most memorable moment came when we were presented with the harvested crops by the farmer.
These labor-based activities connect us with nature, encouraging practical skill-building and fostering our respect for the contributions of labor to society.

第二节(满分25分)
52. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was late December. It was the great Christmas shopping time. I asked my son and daughter to go together, but they preferred to play at home.
People were busy buying gifts for their beloved ones. It seemed that the bigger the gifts were the better they would be. I shook my head sadly and walked on. I was shopping alone trying to pick up some thick winter socks to warm my frozen feet.
As I rounded the corner in the store I saw a Christmas tree full of paper angels (天使). On each angel was the name of a needy child whose family couldn’t afford to buy them a gift that year. Shoppers who picked an angel could buy a simple toy or gift. The store would wrap it and send it to the child that Christmas.
Around the tree I saw a teenage boy and girl picking out several angels. Their mother was smiling while she watched them. I walked up next to her and started talking with her. She told me that her children started this several years ago when she first explained to them what the Charity Angel tree was for. Each offered to give up one of their toys that year so that a needy child could have one. It didn’t stop then, though. Each year since the kids had saved money they earned throughout the year and bought more and more children the gifts they wouldn't have otherwise. It had become a family tradition.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文:
Her voice faded, and before I knew it, I was standing before the Christmas tree. Glancing at the flying paper angels, I felt a surge of warmth welling up inside me. I carefully chose one with the name of a 10-year-old boy, whose family struggled to make ends meet. Determined to bring him joy, I picked out a cool model airplane and a set of storybooks. As I placed the wrapped gifts at the collection desk, the brother and sister, who had sparked my inspiration, flashed me a bright smile, their eyes filled with encouragement. I responded with a smile and a thumbs-up.
Waving them goodbye, I left the store, a plan for next Christmas taking shape in my mind. I decided to involve my son and daughter, who would surely be touched by this meaningful act. The moment I got home, I showed them photos of the Charity Angel tree and shared the heartwarming stories. Moved by what I told them, they immediately agreed to save money and join me next year. From then on, our family would also contribute to spreading love during Christmas, making helping others an unforgettable tradition.
