That’s why I’m going to study to be a software engineer.

【原文】W: Good morning! This is the Manha from the weather service. Your free Internet weather station with news around the world and around the clock. Your preferred city is Guangzhou. In Guangzhou this week we expect more heavy rains since we are only at the beginning of June. May was rather dry but the storm should pick up again before the weekend. Hong Kong is expected to get hit hardest with this next cycle of rain but everywhere south of Shanghai along the coast should see some amount of rainfall. Guangzhou will get around four centimeters over the next five days. Another band of rain can be seen on the radar but it’s too far south over the sea right now. So it’s hard to say when it will hit Guangzhou. This weather pattern should continue through June and into July. When the heavy rains will finally move to the north of China. This is the latest update for your Guangzhou weather. Remember you can check back at the weather service anytime — day or night — to get updates on your local weather or the weather in your favorite city.

For her 85th birthday, I gave my mother an iPad. Though she’d never used a computer, she showed a keen interest in the device because she knew people who had one, and she believed that if she didn’t keep up with technology, she’d one day find herself in a computerized kitchen, unable to open a can of soup.
Then began her journey of exploring the digital world. Mom is a reader, so I downloaded the library app and signed her up for an e-card. She regularly downloaded e-books herself. When they were not immediately available, she put them on hold and usually forgot about them later. Next, we handled Netflix. Being a movie lover, Mom was astonished by the number of films that Netflix has on offer. One Saturday she called because she was having trouble logging onto Netflix. She was sure that she had entered correct user’s name and password, but without any luck. I suggested the version might be too old. “They probably have fewer people working as it’s a long weekend,” she told me.
Now, we FaceTime and Zoom every day. She reads e-books, amazed that she can check them out in the middle of the night. She watches TV series and even knows about the most recent hit. However, she is still unable to surf the Internet smoothly — whenever she wants to browse the news sector online, she might touch the pop-up ads and sidebars by accident, thus ending up on strange pages.
I can’t wait for the day when we can sit down in person and surf the Internet together. In the meantime, it’s great to see how much her confidence has grown. Yesterday, she FaceTimed me “I’ve made a resolution,” she announced. “I’m going to learn how to operate every piece of technology in the apartment — including the TV remote.”
24.Why did the author’s mom show a keen interest in iPad?
A.Because she was a movie lover. B.Because everyone she knew had one.
C.Because it was gifted by her daughter. D.Because she didn’t want to be left behind.
25.What might be the reason why the author’s mother couldn’t log onto Netflix?
A.The app needed to be updated. B.Few people worked on the weekend.
C.She entered the wrong user’s password. D.Her iPad’s operating system broke down.
26.What trouble does the author’s mom encounter when surfing the Internet?
A.It’s hard to read e-books at night. B.She might be led to strange pages.
C.The sidebars fail to function properly. D.There is nothing fun in the news sector.
27.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the article?
A.To suggest some apps an iPad offers to old people.
B.To share her mom’s experiences of learning technology.
C.To criticize technology for being unfriendly to seniors.
D.To show her approaches to teaching her mom to use an iPad.
【答案】24.D 25.A 26.B 27.B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的妈妈学习使用iPad的经历。
24.细节理解题。根据第一段“Though she’d never used a computer, she showed a keen interest in the device because she knew people who had one, and she believed that if she didn’t keep up with technology, she’d one day find herself in a computerized kitchen, unable to open a can of soup.( 尽管她从未使用过电脑,但她对这一设备表现出了浓厚的兴趣,因为她认识一些拥有电脑的人。而且她认为,如果自己不跟上科技的发展步伐,那么有朝一日她会发现自己身处一个全是电脑操控的厨房里,连一罐汤都打不开。)”可知,作者的妈妈对iPad表现出浓厚的兴趣是因为她不想被时代落下。故选D。
25.细节理解题。根据第二段“I suggested the version might be too old.(我建议版本可能太旧了。)”可知,作者的妈妈不能登录Netflix的原因是应用程序需要更新。故选A。
26.细节理解题。根据第三段“However, she is still unable to surf the Internet smoothly — whenever she wants to browse the news sector online, she might touch the pop-up ads and sidebars by accident, thus ending up on strange pages.(然而,她仍然不能顺利上网——每当她想在网上浏览新闻版块时,她可能会不小心碰到弹出广告和侧边栏,从而进入奇怪的页面。)可知,作者的妈妈在上网时遇到的问题是她可能会被引导到奇怪的页面。故选B。
27.推理判断题。根据第一段“For her 85th birthday, I gave my mother an iPad.(她85岁生日时,我送给妈妈一台iPad。)”以及文章主要讲述了作者的妈妈学习使用iPad的经历可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是分享她妈妈学习技术的经历。故选B。
C
Soratobu Medaka, a children’s book, tells the story of tiny medaka fish riding on a bird to a distant pond. It has delighted children, but now it’s revealed to be true.
Researchers have long struggled to explain how fish turn up in lakes far from other bodies of water, a mystery even Charles Darwin noted in 1859, when he suggested that aquatic (水生的) hatchlings might stick to the feet of birds, though his bright idea remained a theory.
In 2019, Yao Akifumi, a biology student then, wondered if Darwin might have been right and further wondered if fish-hunting birds might transport egg-bearing aquatic plants stuck to their feet. To test this, he set up two ponds one metre apart, one containing 36plants and the other without, both equipped with camera traps. After six months, some plants had switched ponds, and one camera captured a bird flying away with a plant on its foot. Next, Yao aimed to see if fish eggs could weather the journey being carried out of water. He attached tiny medaka eggs to aquatic plants and removed them for zero to 24hours—at favorable hatching conditions — before returning them.
In a paper in Science of Nature, Mr. Yao reports that the medaka eggs can successfully hatch after up to 18 hours out of the water. Eggs without a plant leaf to attach to rarely survived a few hours. The big drop in survival was at 16.3 hours, when half the eggs became lifeless.
Whether any egg could survive that long, given that a bird’s average flight-speed is around 39kph, is doubtful, says Mr Yao, since wind exposure during such a long journey would dry them out.
Shorter journeys, however, are certainly possible. And since many other medaka-like species are found throughout Asia, the chances are high that hitchhiking (搭便车) explains how they have ended up in lakes with seemingly no connection to other water bodies. Yet again, it would seem, Darwin’s theories turn out to be correct.
28.Why does the author mention Darwin’s idea?
A.To introduce an academic term. B.To provide research background.
C.To question a well-known theory. D.To explore new research methods.
29.What evidence did Yao find to support his assumption?
A.Birds flying between ponds. B.Fish eggs surviving on plants.
C.A plant growing in both ponds. D.A bird carrying a plant on its foot.
30.What may increase medaka eggs’ survival?
A.Birds’ flying route. B.Wind exposure.
C.Supporting leaves. D.Longer journeys.
31.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Children’s book inspires research. B.Origin of fish has been uncovered.
C.Fish’s hitch riding has been proven. D.Eggs and plants have a close relation.
【答案】28.B 29.D 30.C 31.C
【导语】本文是说明文。文章通过讲述一个儿童故事背后的科学发现,介绍了研究人员如何通过实验验证达尔文关于鱼类可能通过鸟类传播的理论。
28.推理判断题。根据第二段“Researchers have long struggled to explain how fish turn up in lakes far from other bodies of water, a mystery even Charles Darwin noted in 1859, when he suggested that aquatic (水生的) hatchlings might stick to the feet of birds, though his bright idea remained a theory.(长期以来,研究人员一直在努力解释鱼类是如何出现在远离其他水体的湖泊中的,甚至查尔斯·达尔文(Charles Darwin)在1859年也注意到了这个谜,当时他提出水生幼体可能粘在鸟类的脚上,尽管他的聪明想法仍然是一个理论)”以及第三段“In 2019, Yao Akifumi, a biology student then, wondered if Darwin might have been right and further wondered if fish-hunting birds might transport egg-bearing aquatic plants stuck to their feet.(2019年,当时的一名生物学学生Yao Akifumi想知道达尔文是否正确,并进一步想知道捕食鱼类的鸟类是否会将产卵的水生植物粘在脚上)”可知,作者到达尔文的观点是为了提供研究背景。故选B项。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段“After six months, some plants had switched ponds, and one camera captured a bird flying away with a plant on its foot.(六个月后,一些植物换了池塘,一台摄像机捕捉到一只鸟脚上踩着一棵植物飞走了)”可知,Yao发现了一只脚上衔着植物的鸟来支持他的假设。故选D项。
30.细节理解题。根据第四段“In a paper in Science of Nature, Mr. Yao reports that the medaka eggs can successfully hatch after up to 18 hours out of the water. Eggs without a plant leaf to attach to rarely survived a few hours. The big drop in survival was at 16.3 hours, when half the eggs became lifeless.(在发表于《自然科学》期刊的一篇论文中,Mr. Yao报告称,medaka的卵在脱离水体长达18小时后仍能成功孵化。而未附着在植物叶片上的鱼卵,通常仅能存活数小时。尤为关键的是,在脱离水体16.3小时这一时间节点上,鱼卵的存活率出现大幅下降——此时,半数鱼卵已失去生命迹象)”可知,可附着得叶子提高medaka卵的存活率。故选C项。
31.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Shorter journeys, however, are certainly possible. And since many other medaka-like species are found throughout Asia, the chances are high that hitchhiking (搭便车) explains how they have ended up in lakes with seemingly no connection to other water bodies. Yet again, it would seem, Darwin’s theories turn out to be correct.(然而,更短的旅程当然是可能的。而且,由于在亚洲各地发现了许多其他类似medaka的物种,搭便车很有可能解释了它们最终如何进入看似与其他水体没有联系的湖泊。达尔文的理论似乎又一次被证明是正确的)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了鱼类搭便车传播的现象已被证实。故选C项。
D
Every great idea begins with a spark (火花) of realization — and for Snehha Naarsaria, an accountant and a mom in Portugal, that spark came from her own home.
Financial literacy (素养) is no longer a skill reserved for adults; it is becoming a fundamental part of a child’s education. But teaching financial concepts to a child turned out to be harder than Snehha Naarsaria had expected. There were no engaging tools, no reliable materials, and no clear ways to introduce these basic skills to a young mind. This disconnection between knowledge and application struck her deeply and that was when the idea for Fin Free Kid was born.
Fin Free Kid is an innovative initiative that equips children with necessary money management skills through appealing books, flashcards, DIY kits, posters, and an immersive (沉浸式的) course. It offers comprehensive learning aids which cover different aspects of financial literacy. The resources aren’t just about teaching — they’re about empowering kids to think independently, make informed decisions, and develop habits that will serve them for life.
With a strong focus on quality and customer satisfaction, the program has earned widespread praise for its exceptional service and transformative impact on young learners. Parents have reported a noticeable shift in their children’s attitudes and behaviors after using Fin Free Kid’s products. Many children have developed the habit of saving money and learned to make more thoughtful spending choices. A feature in The Economic Times described Fin Free Kid as “a pioneer in financial education for kids, bridging the gap in a crucial area of learning”.
With its growing popularity and the trust of parents across Portugal, Fin Free Kid plans to introduce advanced learning materials for older children and expand its partnerships with schools to integrate financial literacy into courses. “Our mission is to make sure that every child has the tools and knowledge to deal with the complexities of the financial world,” says Snehha Naarsaria, “The changes we’ve seen in children so far are just the beginning. Together, we’re building financially literate generations.”
32.What inspired Snehha Naarsaria to create Fin Free Kid?
A.Rising concerns about overspending.
B.Lack of effective educational resources.
C.Her success as a professional accountant.
D.Children’s desire to learn financial concepts.
33.What is an advantage of Fin Free Kid?
A.It improves reading skills. B.It guarantees financial success.
C.It attaches importance to theories. D.It contributes to lifelong development.
34.Why does the author quote the feature in The Economic Times?
A.To criticize traditional financial education.
B.To compare Fin Free Kid with other programs.
C.To highlight the program’s groundbreaking role.
D.To illustrate the significance of financial education.
35.What is the ultimate goal of Fin Free Kid according to Snehha?
A.To strengthen its cooperation with schools.
B.To make it influential throughout the world.
C.To promote financial literacy for generations.
D.To prepare kids to handle real-world challenges.
【答案】32.B 33.D 34.C 35.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Snehha Naarsaria因缺乏有效的金融教育资源而创立了Fin Free Kid项目,该项目能助力孩子成长,未来还将拓展业务。
32.细节理解题。根据第二段中“But teaching financial concepts to a child turned out to be harder than Snehha Naarsaria had expected. There were no engaging tools, no reliable materials, and no clear ways to introduce these basic skills to a young mind. This disconnection between knowledge and application struck her deeply and that was when the idea for Fin Free Kid was born. (但事实证明,向孩子传授金融概念比Snehha Naarsaria想象的要困难得多。没有吸引人的工具,没有可靠的材料,也没有明确的方法向年轻人传授这些基本技能。知识与应用之间的脱节让她深受触动,就在这时,Fin Free Kid的想法诞生了)”可知,缺乏有效的教育资源启发Snehha Naarsaria创立了Fin Free Kid。故选B项。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段中“The resources aren’t just about teaching — they’ re about empowering kids to think independently, make informed decisions, and develop habits that will serve them for life. (这些资源不仅仅是关于教学——它们是为了让孩子们能够独立思考、做出明智的决定,并养成将使他们受益终身的习惯)”可知,Fin Free Kid的一个优势是它有助于孩子的终身发展。故选D项。
34.推理判断题。根据第四段中“A feature in The Economic Times described Fin Free Kid as ‘a pioneer in financial education for kids, bridging the gap in a crucial area of learning’. (《经济时报》的一篇专题报道将Fin Free Kid描述为‘儿童金融教育的先驱,填补了一个关键学习领域的空白’)”可知,《经济时报》的专题报道将Fin Free Kid描述为儿童金融教育的先驱,作者引用它是为了强调该项目的开创性作用。故选C项。
35.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“‘Our mission is to make sure that every child has the tools and knowledge to deal with the complexities of the financial world,’ says Snehha Naarsaria, ‘The changes we’ve seen in children so far are just the beginning. Together, we’re building financially literate generations.’ (Snehha Naarsaria说:‘我们的使命是确保每个孩子都有应对金融世界复杂性的工具和知识。到目前为止,我们在孩子们身上看到的变化只是开始。我们正在共同培养有金融素养的一代又一代’)”可知,Snehha认为Fin Free Kid的最终目标是促进一代又一代的金融素养提升。故选C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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The great irony is that as we become increasingly “connected” —on social media, video calling, and messaging—we still feel increasingly lonely. And even though we may use technology to feel more connected, it may be exactly what’s leading us to feel lonely.
What about you? 36 If not, try some of these strategies to stop feeling lonely.
Talk to strangers. A growing body of research suggests that even seemingly worthless interactions with strangers—like chatting with a cashier—may be able to keep loneliness at bay by helping us feel more socially connected. So reach out to other human beings to say hello, or chat about whatever’s on your mind. 37
Stop focusing so much on you. It’s almost unavoidable in our modern technology-crazed world that we start to believe we don’t have enough. Instead of focusing on what you can get, shift your focus to what you can give. You could sell T-shirts online to raise money for a good cause. You could ask friends to donate to a charity for your birthday. 38 These small acts can make a big difference and help you reduce feelings of loneliness.
Connect in real life. Connecting in real life may not be as easy as it once was. We often default (默认) to using our smartphones—it’s easier, and now it’s culturally accepted. 39 We do this by looking people in the eyes, listening, being mindful, and choosing not be distracted by our phones or other technologies.
40 It’s important to practice self-sympathy when you fail at things. There is no need to put yourself down. That kind of attitude won’t help you decrease loneliness. Instead, try talking to yourself in a way that is supportive and caring—and you’ll be more likely to acknowledge mistakes in trying to decrease loneliness, and hopefully do better next time.
A.Be nice to yourself.
B.Stop your negative thought cycles.
C.Are you feeling socially connected?
D.Do you find online interactions less satisfying?
E.It helps you to feel more connected and less lonely.
F.But we can decrease our loneliness if we build stronger personal interaction.
G.By giving to others, you take the focus off yourself and do good at the same time.
【答案】36.C 37.E 38.G 39.F 40.A
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了如何停止孤独感的方法。
36.根据前文“The great irony is that as we become increasingly “connected” —on social media, video calling, and messaging—we still feel increasingly lonely. And even though we may use technology to feel more connected, it may be exactly what’s leading us to feel lonely.(具有讽刺意味的是,当我们越来越多地“联系”在社交媒体、视频通话和短信上时,我们仍然感到越来越孤独。尽管我们可能会使用技术来感觉更紧密的联系,但它可能正是导致我们感到孤独的原因)”和“What about you?(你呢?)”以及后文“If not, try some of these strategies to stop feeling lonely.(如果没有,试试下面这些策略来停止孤独感)”可知,本文主要讲述虽然我们可能会使用技术来感觉更紧密的联系,但是依然感觉孤独,之后提出你的感受,后文是回答,所以空处应是进一步提问,C项“Are you feeling socially connected?(你觉得自己与社会有联系吗?)”符合文意,是进一步提问,后文是假设回答。故选C项。
37.设空位于段尾,是对前文的总结,根据前文“Talk to strangers. A growing body of research suggests that even seemingly worthless interactions with strangers—like chatting with a cashier—may be able to keep loneliness at bay by helping us feel more socially connected. So reach out to other human beings to say hello, or chat about whatever’s on your mind.(和陌生人交谈。越来越多的研究表明,即使是与陌生人之间看似毫无价值的互动——比如与收银员聊天——也能帮助我们感受到更多的社会联系,从而抑制孤独感。所以伸出手去和别人打个招呼,或者谈谈你的想法)”可知,E项“It helps you to feel more connected and less lonely.(它会让你感觉更有联系,更少孤独)”介绍了和陌生人打招呼或者谈谈的好处,符合文意。故选E项。
38.根据前文“Stop focusing so much on you. It’s almost unavoidable in our modern technology-crazed world that we start to believe we don’t have enough. Instead of focusing on what you can get, shift your focus to what you can give. You could sell T-shirts online to raise money for a good cause. You could ask friends to donate to a charity for your birthday.(不要太关注你自己。在我们这个为科技疯狂的现代世界里,我们几乎不可避免地开始相信我们拥有的东西还不够。与其关注你能得到什么,不如把注意力转移到你能给予什么上。你可以在网上出售t恤,为慈善事业筹集资金。你可以让朋友为你的生日捐款)”可知,本段主要讲述通过给予来减少孤独,所以G项“By giving to others, you take the focus off yourself and do good at the same time.(通过给予他人,你把注意力从自己身上移开,同时也做了善事)”符合本段主题,是对前文的总结。股癣G项。
39.根据前文“Connect in real life. Connecting in real life may not be as easy as it once was. We often default (默认) to using our smartphones—it’s easier, and now it’s culturally accepted.(在现实生活中联系。现实生活中的联系可能不像以前那么容易了。我们经常默认使用智能手机——这更容易,而且现在已经被文化所接受)”以及后文“We do this by looking people in the eyes, listening, being mindful, and choosing not be distracted by our phones or other technologies.(要做到这一点,我们要看着别人的眼睛,倾听,保持专注,不要被手机或其他技术分散注意力)”可知,前文提到用手机联系,后文提到我们要看着别人的眼睛,倾听,保持专注,前后是转折关系,所以F项“But we can decrease our loneliness if we build stronger personal interaction.(但如果我们建立更强的人际交往,我们可以减少孤独感)”符合文意,和前文构成转折关系,后文是做到这点的方法。故选F项。
40.设空位于段首,是本段的中心句,根据后文“It’s important to practice self-sympathy when you fail at things. There is no need to put yourself down. That kind of attitude won’t help you decrease loneliness. Instead, try talking to yourself in a way that is supportive and caring—and you’ll be more likely to acknowledge mistakes in trying to decrease loneliness, and hopefully do better next time.(当你在事情上失败时,练习自我同情是很重要的。没有必要贬低自己。那种态度不会帮助你减少孤独感。相反,试着用一种支持和关心的方式和自己说话——这样你就更有可能承认在减少孤独感的过程中犯的错误,并希望下次做得更好)”可知,本段主要讲述要对自己好一点,所以A项“Be nice to yourself.(对自己好一点)”符合本段主题。故选A项。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1. 5分, 满分15分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或所给单词的正确形式。

Artists use 57 (brush) crafted from bamboo and wolf hair to create characters that dance across the page, forming a landscape of ink, 58 viewers see thick and thin strokes rise and fall like mountain peaks and valleys.
Historians agree that calligraphy originated in ancient oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文).The Regular Script ( 楷 书 ), developed during the Han Dynasty, became standard for 59 (it) clarity, while the Wild Cursive Script, identical to 60 (storm)waves, promotes creativity to unprecedented levels. When 61 (write), artists must adjust pressure skillfully to achieve perfect ink balance. Today, this art is recognized globally. Schools teach calligraphy 62 (help) students master patience and improve attentiveness. Traditional tools like inkstones ( 砚 台 ), carved 63 hand in Anhui province, connect modern learners to ancient traditions.

【答案】
56.has shaped 57.brushes 58.where 59.its 60.stormy 61.writing 62.to help 63.by 64.Continuously 65.a
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国书法这一艺术形式,包括其在塑造中国文化方面的重要性、起源、不同字体特点、书写要求、在现代的传承以及其蕴含的哲学意义等内容。
56.考查时态。句意:中国书法,被誉为心灵与纸张之间的桥梁,是一种已经塑造了中国文化数千年的深奥艺术形式。“for thousands of years”是现在完成时的标志,且主语是第三人称单数,助动词用 has。故填has shaped。
57.考查名词单复数。句意:艺术家们使用由竹子和狼毫制成的毛笔来创作在纸上舞动的文字,形成一片墨的风景。这里说的是艺术家们使用毛笔,通常不会只用一支,所以要用 brush 的复数形式作宾语。故填brushes。
58.考查定语从句。句意:在这片墨的风景中,观众可以看到笔画的粗细像山峰和山谷一样起伏。修饰先行词 “a landscape of ink”,先行词在从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词 where 引导。故填where。
59.考查代词。句意:历史学家一致认为书法起源于古代甲骨文。在汉代发展起来的楷书,因其清晰明了而成为标准字体。这里需要一个形容词性物主代词作定语修饰名词 “clarity”。故填its。
60.考查形容词。句意:而狂草,就像汹涌的波浪,将创造力提升到了前所未有的高度。用形容词作定语来修饰名词 waves。故填stormy。
61.考查非谓语动词。句意:书写时,艺术家必须巧妙地调整压力以达到完美的墨色平衡。空处为状语从句的省略,完整形式是“When artists are writing”,当从句主语和主句主语一致,且从句中有 be 动词时,可以省略从句的主语和 be 动词,所以用 writing。故填writing。
62.考查语非谓语动词。句意:学校教授书法是为了帮助学生掌握耐心并提高注意力。动词不定式可以作目的状语,所以用 to help。故填to help。
63.考查介词。句意:像在安徽省手工雕刻的砚台这样的传统工具,将现代学习者与古代传统联系起来。“by hand(用手)” 是固定短语。故填by。
64.考查副词。句意:历经战争和革命持续传承下来,书法仍然是一种鲜活的哲学。用副词作状语来修饰动词 preserved,句首单词首字母大写。故填Continuously。
65.考查冠词。句意:历经战争和革命持续传承下来,书法仍然是一种鲜活的哲学。 泛指“一种鲜活的哲学”,且 living 是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。

第二节(满分25分)
67.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。
Ever since I was a kid, my mum Cynthia knew that I had a talent for music. When I was one year old, my mum bought me a toy with a xylophone (木琴), drums, all kinds of instruments. The moment I saw the toy, I fell in love with it. It was at this time that Cynthia learned her son must be into music.
However, my music career almost didn’t happen. When I was in secondary school, I started playing rugby (橄榄球). There were three things I was really interested in: languages, sports and music. But I decided that I wanted to focus on sports for the time being. My rugby career took me all over the world on tours in South Africa, Europe and elsewhere.
When I was around 16 years old, I got an injury. It was quite severe, keeping me out of the field for several months. And my doctor informed me that I could no longer continue playing professional rugby. During this period of recovery, I had a lot of time to reflect on my life and my passions. I realized that injuries had kept me from being a professional player. Although I loved rugby, music had always been a part of me. Music was something I had never truly let go of, even when I was fully buried in my rugby career. After much thought, I decided to pick up the guitar again and start writing songs.
My mum was thrilled when I told her I wanted to return to music. She had always believed in my musical talent. After moving away from rugby, with her support, I began taking music lessons and discovered that I possessed a wealth of creativity and emotion to channel into my music. I loved singing and continued my music lessons for years, even as I was preparing to go to university.
One day, a record producer approached my music teacher to inquire whether she knew of anyone interested in joining a band, so my teacher asked me whether to audition (试唱).
注意:1. 续写词数应为150词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上的相应位置作答。
With a slight hesitation, I asked my mum for help with this audition.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As audition day came, I was a mixture of nerves and excitement.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
With a slight hesitation, I asked my mum for help with this audition. She hugged me tightly and said, “Darling, this is the chance you’ve been waiting for. Remember how much you love music and how far you’ve come. You have a unique voice and style, and I’m sure they’ll be blown away.” Her words were like a warm breeze, calming my jitters. She helped me choose the perfect songs, practiced vocal techniques with me, and even gave me tips on stage presence. With her unwavering support, I felt a new surge of confidence and began to look forward to the audition with anticipation.
As audition day came, I was a mixture of nerves and excitement. Stepping into the audition room, I took a deep breath and started singing. My voice filled the room, steady and confident. When I finished, the producers nodded approvingly. I had made it! Overjoyed, I rushed home to share the news with my mum, grateful for her love and support that made my musical dream come true.
【导语】本文以人物的音乐追求为线索,讲述了作者从热爱橄榄球到因伤放弃,转而重拾音乐,在母亲的支持下获得乐队试唱机会的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:

②由第二段首句“试唱当天,我既紧张又兴奋。”可知,第二段续写作者在试唱时的表现以及最终成功入选,向妈妈分享喜悦。
2.续写线索:寻求妈妈帮助——妈妈鼓励与指导——试唱当天——稳定发挥——成功入选——分享喜悦
3.词汇激活

①拥抱:hug/embrace
②练习:practice/exercise
③分享:share/commune
情感类:
①紧张:jitters/nervousness

For her 85th birthday, I gave my mother an iPad. Though she’d never used a computer, she showed a keen interest in the device because she knew people who had one, and she believed that if she didn’t keep up with technology, she’d one day find herself in a computerized kitchen, unable to open a can of soup.
Then began her journey of exploring the digital world. Mom is a reader, so I downloaded the library app and signed her up for an e-card. She regularly downloaded e-books herself. When they were not immediately available, she put them on hold and usually forgot about them later. Next, we handled Netflix. Being a movie lover, Mom was astonished by the number of films that Netflix has on offer. One Saturday she called because she was having trouble logging onto Netflix. She was sure that she had entered correct user’s name and password, but without any luck. I suggested the version might be too old. “They probably have fewer people working as it’s a long weekend,” she told me.
Now, we FaceTime and Zoom every day. She reads e-books, amazed that she can check them out in the middle of the night. She watches TV series and even knows about the most recent hit. However, she is still unable to surf the Internet smoothly — whenever she wants to browse the news sector online, she might touch the pop-up ads and sidebars by accident, thus ending up on strange pages.
I can’t wait for the day when we can sit down in person and surf the Internet together. In the meantime, it’s great to see how much her confidence has grown. Yesterday, she FaceTimed me “I’ve made a resolution,” she announced. “I’m going to learn how to operate every piece of technology in the apartment — including the TV remote.”
24.Why did the author’s mom show a keen interest in iPad?
A.Because she was a movie lover. B.Because everyone she knew had one.
C.Because it was gifted by her daughter. D.Because she didn’t want to be left behind.
25.What might be the reason why the author’s mother couldn’t log onto Netflix?
A.The app needed to be updated. B.Few people worked on the weekend.
C.She entered the wrong user’s password. D.Her iPad’s operating system broke down.
26.What trouble does the author’s mom encounter when surfing the Internet?
A.It’s hard to read e-books at night. B.She might be led to strange pages.
C.The sidebars fail to function properly. D.There is nothing fun in the news sector.
27.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the article?
A.To suggest some apps an iPad offers to old people.
B.To share her mom’s experiences of learning technology.
C.To criticize technology for being unfriendly to seniors.
D.To show her approaches to teaching her mom to use an iPad.

Soratobu Medaka, a children’s book, tells the story of tiny medaka fish riding on a bird to a distant pond. It has delighted children, but now it’s revealed to be true.
Researchers have long struggled to explain how fish turn up in lakes far from other bodies of water, a mystery even Charles Darwin noted in 1859, when he suggested that aquatic (水生的) hatchlings might stick to the feet of birds, though his bright idea remained a theory.
In 2019, Yao Akifumi, a biology student then, wondered if Darwin might have been right and further wondered if fish-hunting birds might transport egg-bearing aquatic plants stuck to their feet. To test this, he set up two ponds one metre apart, one containing 36plants and the other without, both equipped with camera traps. After six months, some plants had switched ponds, and one camera captured a bird flying away with a plant on its foot. Next, Yao aimed to see if fish eggs could weather the journey being carried out of water. He attached tiny medaka eggs to aquatic plants and removed them for zero to 24hours—at favorable hatching conditions — before returning them.
In a paper in Science of Nature, Mr. Yao reports that the medaka eggs can successfully hatch after up to 18 hours out of the water. Eggs without a plant leaf to attach to rarely survived a few hours. The big drop in survival was at 16.3 hours, when half the eggs became lifeless.
Whether any egg could survive that long, given that a bird’s average flight-speed is around 39kph, is doubtful, says Mr Yao, since wind exposure during such a long journey would dry them out.
Shorter journeys, however, are certainly possible. And since many other medaka-like species are found throughout Asia, the chances are high that hitchhiking (搭便车) explains how they have ended up in lakes with seemingly no connection to other water bodies. Yet again, it would seem, Darwin’s theories turn out to be correct.
28.Why does the author mention Darwin’s idea?
A.To introduce an academic term. B.To provide research background.
C.To question a well-known theory. D.To explore new research methods.
29.What evidence did Yao find to support his assumption?
A.Birds flying between ponds. B.Fish eggs surviving on plants.
C.A plant growing in both ponds. D.A bird carrying a plant on its foot.
30.What may increase medaka eggs’ survival?
A.Birds’ flying route. B.Wind exposure.
C.Supporting leaves. D.Longer journeys.
31.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Children’s book inspires research. B.Origin of fish has been uncovered.
C.Fish’s hitch riding has been proven. D.Eggs and plants have a close relation.
D
Every great idea begins with a spark (火花) of realization — and for Snehha Naarsaria, an accountant and a mom in Portugal, that spark came from her own home.
Financial literacy (素养) is no longer a skill reserved for adults; it is becoming a fundamental part of a child’s education. But teaching financial concepts to a child turned out to be harder than Snehha Naarsaria had expected. There were no engaging tools, no reliable materials, and no clear ways to introduce these basic skills to a young mind. This disconnection between knowledge and application struck her deeply and that was when the idea for Fin Free Kid was born.
Fin Free Kid is an innovative initiative that equips children with necessary money management skills through appealing books, flashcards, DIY kits, posters, and an immersive (沉浸式的) course. It offers comprehensive learning aids which cover different aspects of financial literacy. The resources aren’t just about teaching — they’re about empowering kids to think independently, make informed decisions, and develop habits that will serve them for life.
With a strong focus on quality and customer satisfaction, the program has earned widespread praise for its exceptional service and transformative impact on young learners. Parents have reported a noticeable shift in their children’s attitudes and behaviors after using Fin Free Kid’s products. Many children have developed the habit of saving money and learned to make more thoughtful spending choices. A feature in The Economic Times described Fin Free Kid as “a pioneer in financial education for kids, bridging the gap in a crucial area of learning”.
With its growing popularity and the trust of parents across Portugal, Fin Free Kid plans to introduce advanced learning materials for older children and expand its partnerships with schools to integrate financial literacy into courses. “Our mission is to make sure that every child has the tools and knowledge to deal with the complexities of the financial world,” says Snehha Naarsaria, “The changes we’ve seen in children so far are just the beginning. Together, we’re building financially literate generations.”
32.What inspired Snehha Naarsaria to create Fin Free Kid?
A.Rising concerns about overspending.
B.Lack of effective educational resources.
C.Her success as a professional accountant.
D.Children’s desire to learn financial concepts.
33.What is an advantage of Fin Free Kid?
A.It improves reading skills. B.It guarantees financial success.
C.It attaches importance to theories. D.It contributes to lifelong development.
34.Why does the author quote the feature in The Economic Times?
A.To criticize traditional financial education.
B.To compare Fin Free Kid with other programs.
C.To highlight the program’s groundbreaking role.
D.To illustrate the significance of financial education.
35.What is the ultimate goal of Fin Free Kid according to Snehha?
A.To strengthen its cooperation with schools.
B.To make it influential throughout the world.
C.To promote financial literacy for generations.
D.To prepare kids to handle real-world challenges.

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The great irony is that as we become increasingly “connected” —on social media, video calling, and messaging—we still feel increasingly lonely. And even though we may use technology to feel more connected, it may be exactly what’s leading us to feel lonely.
What about you? 36 If not, try some of these strategies to stop feeling lonely.
Talk to strangers. A growing body of research suggests that even seemingly worthless interactions with strangers—like chatting with a cashier—may be able to keep loneliness at bay by helping us feel more socially connected. So reach out to other human beings to say hello, or chat about whatever’s on your mind. 37
Stop focusing so much on you. It’s almost unavoidable in our modern technology-crazed world that we start to believe we don’t have enough. Instead of focusing on what you can get, shift your focus to what you can give. You could sell T-shirts online to raise money for a good cause. You could ask friends to donate to a charity for your birthday. 38 These small acts can make a big difference and help you reduce feelings of loneliness.
Connect in real life. Connecting in real life may not be as easy as it once was. We often default (默认) to using our smartphones—it’s easier, and now it’s culturally accepted. 39 We do this by looking people in the eyes, listening, being mindful, and choosing not be distracted by our phones or other technologies.
40 It’s important to practice self-sympathy when you fail at things. There is no need to put yourself down. That kind of attitude won’t help you decrease loneliness. Instead, try talking to yourself in a way that is supportive and caring—and you’ll be more likely to acknowledge mistakes in trying to decrease loneliness, and hopefully do better next time.
A.Be nice to yourself.
B.Stop your negative thought cycles.
C.Are you feeling socially connected?
D.Do you find online interactions less satisfying?
E.It helps you to feel more connected and less lonely.
F.But we can decrease our loneliness if we build stronger personal interaction.
G.By giving to others, you take the focus off yourself and do good at the same time.

In the village of Cinque Terre, Italy, 16-year-old Luca spent his days repairing fishing nets with his father, his hands moving 41 while his mind wandered to the colorful mosaics (马赛克艺术) that decorated the town’s ancient 42 . Luca dreamed of creating art that told stories, but his father’s words echoed (回响) in his ears: “ 43 don’t fill empty stomachs, Luca. We are fishermen, not artists.”
One morning, a famous mosaic artist named Sofia arrived in the village. She was there to 44 the church’s aging mosaics, and her presence 45 a long-buried passion deep within Luca.

67.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。
Ever since I was a kid, my mum Cynthia knew that I had a talent for music. When I was one year old, my mum bought me a toy with a xylophone (木琴), drums, all kinds of instruments. The moment I saw the toy, I fell in love with it. It was at this time that Cynthia learned her son must be into music.
However, my music career almost didn’t happen. When I was in secondary school, I started playing rugby (橄榄球). There were three things I was really interested in: languages, sports and music. But I decided that I wanted to focus on sports for the time being. My rugby career took me all over the world on tours in South Africa, Europe and elsewhere.
When I was around 16 years old, I got an injury. It was quite severe, keeping me out of the field for several months. And my doctor informed me that I could no longer continue playing professional rugby. During this period of recovery, I had a lot of time to reflect on my life and my passions. I realized that injuries had kept me from being a professional player. Although I loved rugby, music had always been a part of me. Music was something I had never truly let go of, even when I was fully buried in my rugby career. After much thought, I decided to pick up the guitar again and start writing songs.
My mum was thrilled when I told her I wanted to return to music. She had always believed in my musical talent. After moving away from rugby, with her support, I began taking music lessons and discovered that I possessed a wealth of creativity and emotion to channel into my music. I loved singing and continued my music lessons for years, even as I was preparing to go to university.
One day, a record producer approached my music teacher to inquire whether she knew of anyone interested in joining a band, so my teacher asked me whether to audition (试唱).
注意:1. 续写词数应为150词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上的相应位置作答。
With a slight hesitation, I asked my mum for help with this audition.
