Applcants in. grades 8-12 are required B I had wanted to be a cellist (大提琴手) for as long as I could remember. One evening. while practicing a demanding piece, I pusbed myself too far: I felt a burmng pain between my wrist and eupow. When it hadn't got better after a day or two. I started to panic. Days became wecks. I stil 3 could not write or play. Wecks tumed into months. Opportunties for concerts. recitals(独 奏 会). and ompetirons came and went When I wasn'r suung with my instrument. I was punishing myself for my own stupidity. My techniaue had probably not been secure enough for the demands I was placing on it. But now it was too late The niming point came: unexpectedly. durng a pho!o shoot for an up-to-date picthure. The photographer suggested I get my cello and see what images of playing might look like. I hesitated-I didn't see myself as a cellist any more. But then I fetched it and sar playing random pieces of Bach. In that moment. the lens(镜头) oirting at my instrument and me. I began to understand something I had only half sensed until ther. Away from my cello, my shadow was missing. Without it I felt incomplete. But with my instrument I was protected md entirely happy in my own skin. During that photo snoot I realised I needed to find our what the cello, and its absence, had meant to other cellists, to understand what it meant to me. So I planned a journey across Europe. I encountered cellos destroved by war and shipwreck, and even a cello that had been umed into a beehive (蜂 窝). I even plaved with a resourceful cellist, who, having lost the use of his right thumb, ties his bow onto his hand with a bicycle mner nibe. Over the course of my travels, I learned I was not alone. Besides, my experience might help others. I am also beginning to look for ways to return to the repertoire (曲 目) I loved. Supported by a community of musicians in similar siruations. I now celebrate every concert as a step towards healing(治愈) 24. What did the author do after the iniur? A. Playing Bach to wow listeners. B. Blaming herself for burning out C. Trying an altemative career path D. Securing the performing chances 25. Why did the photo shoot mark a change for the author? A. It showed her efforts' payoff B. It boosxed hcr public profile C. It deepened her ccllo bond D. It linked her to top cellists 26. Which of the following can best describe the atho? A. Strong-willed and adaptive B. Creative but impractical C. Ambitious but stubbom D. Hopeful and realistc 27. What can we leam from the passage: A. Fortune favors the bold B. Constant dripping wears the stone C. Good things come to those who wait D. When given lemons. make lemonade C One inconvenient truth for the clean energy industry is the mdeniable fact that wind rurbines (涡轮机) kil birds. Researchers say smarter turbnes could dramatically cut the toll . The American Bird Conservancy claims that at least one million hird dcaths ns n result of wind rurbines a year in the LS alone is likely to be an umdereaumate That's substantially less than the estimatcd o8o million birds a year that die crashung into buildings. or the 1.4 to 3.7 billion pcr year killed by domcstic cats. But it's still an macceptable nunber. and a problem that needs to be aadressed-bccanse a fully green energy network will nced ntore and more hurbines over the coming decades Researchers ar SINT'EF and the Norwegian Centre believe they have an idea that could hclp in a lot of cases, The idea-known as SK AR-is fairly simple: each turoine will have camcras fiticd. capable of spotting birds flying directly into the path of the rotors (蝶 桨).. Software will automatically calculate thcir predictcd path, and if it looks like they're in danger of being hit, the svstem will send control sigrals to slow the rotor down. - In simulations (模拟). the system is able to avoid the vast majority of crashes. This. of course, doesn' describe all situations. For example, if a young. inexperienced bird approaches a turbine displaying irregular flight behavior, it will not be possible to predict exactly where it will be a few seconds later. Prediction is also more difficult if several birds approach at the same time Some researchcrs argue thar birds are learning to avoid nrbines voluntarily. But if more than a million birds a year haven't got the memo yet. it's still a problem worth solving. We look forward to hearing how trials progress. 28. What does the underlined phrase '"cut the toll" in paragraph ! probably maan B. Reduce deaths C. Lower costs. A. Maximize efficiency D. Prevent crrors 29.What can be inferred about bird death caused by wind turbines in paragraph 2? A. It tops the list of bird deaths B. It cafls Tor immediate action C. It has been properly solved. D. It shows progress in technology 30. How does SKARV make wind turbines intelligent A. By kecping a constant speed B. By recording birds'behavior C. By predicting potential danger D. By seaaing warnings to birds 31.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Challenges presented in simulations B. Features of birds' flying paterns C. Examples of SKARV's application. D. Approaches to crash avoidance D My late mother was amn artist of some renown in the Pacific Northwest. Over her many-decades career, her paintings evoived from highly representational watercolors into mixed-media abstracts. Growing up, I could draw a little myself and enjoyed doing so, bnt I never had her talent. Once, I asked her how I could improve. I supposed I expected her to say something like "Practice 1o.ooo hours." Instead. she told me to look at what I 5 wanted to draw. I stared at a tree, nohcing details I:d gnored befnre: the rough bark, shiftng shadows. and delicate lcaves. Drawmg each deial carsfully. I created my best work yel. More irmportantly: I discovered the jy nfrnlohew Ihis act of decp attcntion is called savonng -a skill that cnriches both art and Hfe. Psychologists define it as'tully appreciaung positive moments," like enjoying a sunset or reliving(复活:重现) happy memores Studtes show savorng activates the brain's reward system. reduces sadness, and boosts happiness In experimenls. people who focused on dnily positive experiences became happier. especially those with fewer good inoments. Savoring also creates vivid. lasting memones of joy Yet humans naturally focus ori negatives - a survival mstrnct from ancestors who needed to avoid dnngers Today, this 'negativity bias ( 偏 见. y" often backfires. making us urapped in problems and overlook good moments. Scientsts wam thar constant negativitv twists thunkng and lowers life satisfaction. The solution? Practice savoring. Start with positive moments: pause to enjoy a meal or a friend's laugh. Bu challenges can also be savored Try a "faiure joumal': write down a setoack (e.g., an argumeot), leave space. then retum weeks later to note lessons learned C'I umnroved communication'). Months later, add positive outcomes ('We grew closer'). This involves savoring-and shows how you can use the practce to transform even unwelcome experiences into positive opportunities for growth and perspective. This reframing helps find meanung in difficulnes, much like finding beaury in an imperfect drawing My mother's advice wasn't just about art -it was about living. By observing deeply, we uncover hidden layers in both the ordinary and the difficult. Savoring turns fleeting moments into lasting joy and challenges into growth. That's the true art of lifc 32. What does the author focus an by the personal story? A. Observing the world is essential for a painting B. Every detail deserves attention when drawing C. Decp attention is a source of living a happy lifc D. Savoiing is a skill of iruly observing the world 33. What does the author imply about "negarivity bias" in modem life? A. It is necessary for survival today B. Irreduces our ability to tnjoy life. ) C. It helps us avoid dnngers effectively D It improves. people's life sntisfaction 34. According to the text. what ts a "failure yournal" used for? A. Reflecting on sctbacks to find positive results B: Tracking mistakes to avoid errors in the future C. Recording positive moments and the cmotions D. Keeping track:of the mterpcrsonal relationships 35. Why does the author compare 'savorng" o"finding beanty in an imperfect drawimg'"? A. To explain that art involves accepung tlaws. B. To crtcize people who focus on neganvity. x C. To show challenges can be changed into growth D. To argue that art is more important than science 第二节七选五(共5小题:每小题25分,满分125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 ln Chinese tradinonal architecaure, a skywell(天井) Is an open courtyard(庭院) or well-like space usually located at the heart of a bulding or group of buildings 3t. Their designs often fearure the classic Chinese dou gong overhangs to provide shade and collect water into a central basin Chinese skywells are so effective in cooling homes because they can control natural airing. Cool air i5 drawn into the building from the lower levels, and warm air escapes and rises through the upper levels 37 The skywell's lavout and construetion materials also help in themal regulationt热量 的调节). During me day, the courtyard absorbs heat from the sun. acting as a thermal mass _This day-night cycle helps maintnin a balanced and consistent temperature indoors Most traditional skywells ncude water features, such as fountains or poads. A recent srudy has shown tha the most sigmificant part of a skywell's cooling effect comes from these water bodies. 3As wate evaporates( 蒸 发)from these features, it absorbs hea! from the surrounding air. This reduces the temperature within the courryard and surrounding rooms. 4_One fitting example is the National Heavy Vehicle Engineerng Technology Research Centre in Jinan, an. 8-story(层) banlding that has a giant open space at its heart from the fifth floor to the top floor. The toilets, elevators, and meeting rooms surround this space. This enhances natural airing and natural energy consumption. according to the Shanghai-based CCD! Group A. Thio promotes fresh air flow, especially Suring hot summer days B. It is often a square surrounded by the building's rooms apd wings C This cooling was disadvantageous in regions with hot and dry climates D. It's probably why temperatures around them are 2.6C to 4.2'C lower PiThese wonders oontinue to inspire architects to seek sustainable solutions t.

Chrstna n Pocatello. who has Down syndrome (唐 IP:综合征) and limited speech made renung movies an essential part of her routine. She regularly visited video rental stores, her face lighring up with excitement as she scanned the shelves filled with a vast collectton of movies. As she picked through her favorte tapes, Christina would seutle mto a usual spot, carefully comparing each tape until she found the perfec pich Each store she visited became a precious part of her life. holding a unique place n her heart. She ever named her favorite video rental store Video Stop "Babar' after the movic she loved, while another video stor became "Beast". inspired by Beaury and the Beast. For Christina, the act of renting movies was more than jus an activiry -it was a comforting and consistent part of her daily life However, the rise of digital streaming led to the decline of video rental stores, making physical rentals outdated. This shift not only reduced convenience but also weakened community conncctions. As the las remaining video rental store in Pocatello, Video Stop was the final link to Christina's valued routine --but like all others, it couldn't escape the wave of this social transformation. When Christina's mother, Laura, learned that Video Stop was closing, she worried about how it would affect Christina. Video Stop was the last place where Christina could get her favorite films. With the store ceasing rentals and clearing out most of its collection, Laura was reminded of the struggle they faced years ago when the closure of another store had left Christina standing outsidc, confused and heartbroken. Laura feared : repeat of that pain In this moment of uncertainty, David Kraning, the owner of Video Stop and a convenient store called Ouick Stop, noticed Christina's deep connection to the store. Determined to preserve her routine, he offered a heartfelt solution to ensure her happiness even after the store closed 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 Para.I After much thought.
