(A) I’ve been a runner all my adult life. At six feet, seven inches and 240 pounds, I don’t look like your average long-distance athlete, but I was in great shape. Four years ago, at 44, I was at my peak fitness, training hard for my second London Marathon. My goal was to finish in less than four hours, and after some solid 20-mile practice runs, I was confident I could manage around 3 hours and 40 minutes. I always believed that if you weren’t completely spent by the finish, you hadn’t given it your all. Race day started well. The sticky weather was eased by a light rain, and everything felt right. But by mile 19, things changed. It wasn’t physical exhaustion—it was mental. I felt disconnected, like I wasn’t fully there. The cheering crowds faded into the background. At mile 24, I completely forgot to wave to my wife, as we’d planned. By the time I saw Big Ben, my legs felt heavy, as if they were moving through thick liquid. Still, I pushed on. Turning the final corner, I saw the finish line and knew I’d make it in under four hours. That’s my last memory. Witnesses later said I staggered across the line, collected my medal, and reached the media tent before collapsing. My body had overheated, causing my liver and kidneys (肝和肾) to shut down. I was rushed to St. Thomas’s hospital and treated for pneumonia (肺炎). The doctors told me that most people don’t survive this condition, but my fitness and the quick actions of medics saved me. When I woke up, my first question was, “What time did I do?” (Answer: 3 hours, 55 minutes and 46 seconds). My second was, “Why am I here?” Seeing the worry in my wife’s eyes filled me with guilt. She still won’t talk about that day. It took months to recover, and during that time, I re-evaluated my priorities. I realized times didn’t matter. Today, I run for joy, not speed—enjoying the scenery and running with my dog. The real victory is learning to love the journey. 36 What was the writer’s goal at the beginning for his second London Marathon? A. To finish the race within his target goal. B. To complete the race without taking a break. C. To reach a faster pace than a professional athlete. D. To improve on his previous marathon performance. 37. What can be learned about the man from his London Marathon experience? A. He gave up the race and couldn’t make it to the finish line. B. He realized that he had better achieve his goals gradually. C. He achieved his goal without facing too many difficulties. D. He pushed himself too much and faced a serious medical crisis. 38. How did the writer’s attitudes towards running change after the experience? A. He decided to give up running altogether to focus on recovery. B. He set a new goal to beat his previous best time in future races C. He started prioritizing the experience of running over competing. D. He started running shorter distances to avoid similar health issues 39. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. The Dangers of Marathon Running B. A Runner’s Transformative Journey C. Overcoming Physical Limits in a Marathon D. How to Train for a Successful Marathon (B) World Book Day was created by UNESCO on 23rd April 1995 as a worldwide celebration of books and reading. It is marked in over 100 countries around the globe. In an effort to move celebrations of reading into the evening and focus more on adults instead of children, World Book Night starts in the UK in 2011. Why should we read?

Builds Community: Good readers tend to feel more connected to society and trust others more. Increases Understanding: Reading for pleasure helps you: Understand others’ feelings better (empathy). Understand yourself better. See the world through others’ eyes. Lowers Stress & Relaxes: People who read for fun regularly feel less stressed and sad than non-readers. Reading is also more relaxing than watching TV or using phones/ computers. Join World Book Night (April 23)!

GET INVOLVED (C) Charles Robert Darwin was born on 12 February 1809 in Shropshire, England. Darwin’s childhood passion was science, and his interest in chemistry, however, was clear; he was even nicknamed ‘Gas’ by his classmates. In 1825, his father sent him to study medicine at Edinburgh University, where he learned how to classify plants. Darwin became passionate about natural history and this became his focus while he studied at Cambridge. Darwin went on a voyage together with Robert Fitzroy, the captain of HMS Beagle, to South America to facilitate British trade in Patagonia. The journey was life-changing. Darwin spent much of the trip on land collecting samples of plants, animals and rocks, which helped him to develop an understanding of the processes that shape the Earth’s surface. Darwin’s analysis of the plants and animals that he gathered led him to express doubts on former explanations about how species formed and evolved over time. Darwin’s work convinced him that natural selection was key to understanding the development of the natural world. The theory of natural selection says that individuals of a species are more likely to survive when they inherit (经遗传获得) characteristics best suited for that specific environment. These features then become more widespread and can lead eventually to the development of a new species. With natural selection, Darwin argued how a wide variety of life forms developed over time from a single common ancestor. Darwin married his cousin, Emma Wedgwood, in 1839. When Darwin’s eldest daughter, Annie, died from a sudden illness in 1851, he lost his belief in God. His tenth and final child, Charles Waring Darwin, was born in 1856. Significantly for Darwin, this baby was disabled, altering how Darwin thought about the human species. Darwin had previously thought that species remained adapted until the environment changed; he now believed that every new variation was imperfect and that a struggle to survive was what drove species to adapt. Though rejected at the beginning, Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is nowadays well accepted by the scientific community as the best evidence-based explanation for the diversity and complexity of life on Earth. The Natural History Museum’s library alone has 478 editions of his On the Origin of Species in 38 languages. 43. What made Darwin reconsider the origin and development of species? A Examining plants and animals collected. B. His desire for a voyage to different continents. C. Classifying samples in a journey to South America. D. His passion for natural history at Edinburgh University. 44. We can learn from paragraphs 1 to 3 that Darwin ________. A. used natural selection to develop new species B. enjoyed being called nicknames related to science C. learned some knowledge about plants when studying medicine D. argued with others over the diversity of life forms for a long period 45. Which of the following changed Darwin’s view on the human species? A. That he had ten children in all. B. His youngest son’s being disabled. C. That he lost his eldest daughter. D. His marriage with Emma Wedgwood. 46. This passage is mainly about ________. A. Darwin’s passion for medical science B. Darwin’s theory and experiments C. Charles Darwin’s changing interest D. Charles Darwin’s life and work Section C (8’) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Getting into Employment in High School Many high school students are understandably more focused on getting into college than on finding a job after college. ____47____ Here are some things you can do now-while you’re still in high school-to start thinking about possible careers. Do some homework on jobs and careers. There are many types of jobs and careers that most people have never heard of or know little about. How do you discover them? ____48____ How did they get interested in their career? What education and skills are required to perform their jobs? What do they like about their careers? Don’t be shy; adults are usually happy to answer questions. You can also learn about various careers online. ____49____ Although your college major does not always determine what you’ll end up doing for a career, understanding how various majors can connect to careers is part of career planning. As you explore the majors and programs offered at various colleges, take a moment to read through the relevant department’s information on careers for students in that major. Keep career planning in mind when visiting colleges. Every college campus has a Career Center, staffed by professionals who are trained to assist college students with career-related concerns. ____50____ Make a point to ask about the services offered by each college’s Career Center when you visit colleges. Or better yet, stop in to the Center and say hello. While on campus, you will also have opportunities to talk with professors and students. Use those occasions to ask faculty about what their departments do to help prepare students for jobs after graduation, and ask current students about internships they’ve done, research opportunities, and what their majors and career plans are. A. Begin with your current interests, talents, hobbies, and personal strengths and weaknesses. B. Start by talking to the adults you know about their jobs. C. They help students choose majors and careers, find internship and job opportunities, and gain important job-hunting skills. D. Connect the dots between college majors and careers. E. Enrichment activities, such as summer programs on college campuses, can also help you learn about various jobs and careers. F. Yet, having at least a few ideas in mind for careers that might interest you is an important part of college planning. Ⅳ. Summary Writing (10分) 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. How to Develop Healthy Digital Habits In today’s digital world, teenagers spend increasing amounts of time on screens, which can negatively impact their physical and mental health. Developing healthy digital habits is essential for maintaining balance in life. The first step is to set clear boundaries for screen time. Experts recommend taking regular breaks using the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Turning off notifications during study time helps maintain concentration. Establishing “screen-free” zones, especially in bedrooms, can significantly improve sleep quality. Another important aspect is being mindful of online content. Following educational or inspirational accounts rather than those promoting unrealistic standards can boost mental well-being. Students should also schedule offline activities like sports, reading, or face-to-face socializing to maintain a healthy balance between virtual and real-world interactions. Parents and schools play a crucial role in modeling and teaching digital wellness. Open discussions about responsible technology use, cyberbullying prevention, and critical thinking about online information should be encouraged. Teachers can incorporate digital literacy into their curriculum to help students navigate the online world safely. By carrying out these strategies, teenagers can enjoy technology’s benefits while avoiding its risks. Healthy digital habits formed during school years will serve students well throughout their lives in our increasingly connected world. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ⅴ.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I’ve been a runner all my adult life. At six feet, seven inches and 240 pounds, I don’t look like your average long-distance athlete, but I was in great shape. Four years ago, at 44, I was at my peak fitness, training hard for my second London Marathon. My goal was to finish in less than four hours, and after some solid 20-mile practice runs, I was confident I could manage around 3 hours and 40 minutes. I always believed that if you weren’t completely spent by the finish, you hadn’t given it your all. Race day started well. The sticky weather was eased by a light rain, and everything felt right. But by mile 19, things changed. It wasn’t physical exhaustion—it was mental. I felt disconnected, like I wasn’t fully there. The cheering crowds faded into the background. At mile 24, I completely forgot to wave to my wife, as we’d planned. By the time I saw Big Ben, my legs felt heavy, as if they were moving through thick liquid. Still, I pushed on. Turning the final corner, I saw the finish line and knew I’d make it in under four hours. That’s my last memory. Witnesses later said I staggered across the line, collected my medal, and reached the media tent before collapsing. My body had overheated, causing my liver and kidneys (肝和肾) to shut down. I was rushed to St. Thomas’s hospital and treated for pneumonia (肺炎). The doctors told me that most people don’t survive this condition, but my fitness and the quick actions of medics saved me. When I woke up, my first question was, “What time did I do?” (Answer: 3 hours, 55 minutes and 46 seconds). My second was, “Why am I here?” Seeing the worry in my wife’s eyes filled me with guilt. She still won’t talk about that day. It took months to recover, and during that time, I re-evaluated my priorities. I realized times didn’t matter. Today, I run for joy, not speed—enjoying the scenery and running with my dog. The real victory is learning to love the journey. 36 What was the writer’s goal at the beginning for his second London Marathon? A. To finish the race within his target goal. B. To complete the race without taking a break. C. To reach a faster pace than a professional athlete. D. To improve on his previous marathon performance. 37.

How did the writer’s attitudes towards running change after the experience? A. He decided to give up running altogether to focus on recovery. B. He set a new goal to beat his previous best time in future races C. He started prioritizing the experience of running over competing. D. He started running shorter distances to avoid similar health issues 39. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. The Dangers of Marathon Running B. A Runner’s Transformative Journey C. Overcoming Physical Limits in a Marathon D. How to Train for a Successful Marathon 【答案】36. A 37. D 38. C 39. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者作为一名非典型身材的长跑运动员，在第二次伦敦马拉松中因过度努力导致身体崩溃和严重健康危机，但最终幸存并康复的经历，以及由此引发的对跑步态度的深刻转变——从追求速度和成绩，转向享受过程和旅程的意义。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“My goal was to finish in less than four hours, and after some solid 20-mile practice runs, I was confident I could manage around 3 hours and 40 minutes.(我的目标是在四小时内完成比赛，在进行了一些扎实的20英里练习跑后，我有信心可以在3小时40分钟左右完成)”可知，作者的核心目标是在预设的时间内完赛。故选A项。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“My body had overheated, causing my liver and kidneys (肝和肾) to shut down. I was rushed to St. Thomas’s hospital and treated for pneumonia (肺炎). The doctors told me that most people don’t survive this condition, but my fitness and the quick actions of medics saved me.(我的身体过热，导致我的肝脏和肾脏停止运行。我被紧急送往圣托马斯医院，接受肺炎治疗。医生告诉我，大多数人都无法在这种情况下幸存下来，但我的健康和医护人员的快速行动救了我)”可知，作者因过度消耗身体导致多器官衰竭，面临严重医疗危机。故选D项。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“I realized times didn’t matter. Today, I run for joy, not speed—enjoying the scenery and running with my dog.(我意识到时间不重要。如今，我跑步是为了快乐，而不是速度 —— 享受风景，和我的狗一起跑)”可知，作者不再追求速度和竞争，而是重视跑步的体验本身。故选C项。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了作者从追求马拉松速度目标到因过度消耗身体崩溃，最终转变心态、享受跑步过程的经历。最后一段“The real victory is learning to love the journey.(真正的胜利是学会热爱这段旅程)”点明主题，强调其心态和人生态度的转变。所以B选项A Runner’s Transformative Journey(一位跑者的蜕变之旅)准确概括了这一核心。故选B项。 (B) World Book Day was created by UNESCO on 23rd April 1995 as a worldwide celebration of books and reading.

Darwin’s childhood passion was science, and his interest in chemistry, however, was clear; he was even nicknamed ‘Gas’ by his classmates. In 1825, his father sent him to study medicine at Edinburgh University, where he learned how to classify plants. Darwin became passionate about natural history and this became his focus while he studied at Cambridge. Darwin went on a voyage together with Robert Fitzroy, the captain of HMS Beagle, to South America to facilitate British trade in Patagonia. The journey was life-changing. Darwin spent much of the trip on land collecting samples of plants, animals and rocks, which helped him to develop an understanding of the processes that shape the Earth’s surface. Darwin’s analysis of the plants and animals that he gathered led him to express doubts on former explanations about how species formed and evolved over time. Darwin’s work convinced him that natural selection was key to understanding the development of the natural world. The theory of natural selection says that individuals of a species are more likely to survive when they inherit (经遗传获得) characteristics best suited for that specific environment. These features then become more widespread and can lead eventually to the development of a new species. With natural selection, Darwin argued how a wide variety of life forms developed over time from a single common ancestor. Darwin married his cousin, Emma Wedgwood, in 1839. When Darwin’s eldest daughter, Annie, died from a sudden illness in 1851, he lost his belief in God. His tenth and final child, Charles Waring Darwin, was born in 1856. Significantly for Darwin, this baby was disabled, altering how Darwin thought about the human species. Darwin had previously thought that species remained adapted until the environment changed; he now believed that every new variation was imperfect and that a struggle to survive was what drove species to adapt. Though rejected at the beginning, Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is nowadays well accepted by the scientific community as the best evidence-based explanation for the diversity and complexity of life on Earth. The Natural History Museum’s library alone has 478 editions of his On the Origin of Species in 38 languages. 43. What made Darwin reconsider the origin and development of species? A. Examining plants and animals collected. B. His desire for a voyage to different continents. C. Classifying samples in a journey to South America. D. His passion for natural history at Edinburgh University. 44. We can learn from paragraphs 1 to 3 that Darwin ________. A. used natural selection to develop new species B. enjoyed being called nicknames related to science C. learned some knowledge about plants when studying medicine D. argued with others over the diversity of life forms for a long period 45. Which of the following changed Darwin’s view on the human species? A. That he had ten children in all. B. His youngest son’s being disabled. C. That he lost his eldest daughter. D.

How to Develop Healthy Digital Habits In today’s digital world, teenagers spend increasing amounts of time on screens, which can negatively impact their physical and mental health. Developing healthy digital habits is essential for maintaining balance in life. The first step is to set clear boundaries for screen time. Experts recommend taking regular breaks using the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Turning off notifications during study time helps maintain concentration. Establishing “screen-free” zones, especially in bedrooms, can significantly improve sleep quality. Another important aspect is being mindful of online content. Following educational or inspirational accounts rather than those promoting unrealistic standards can boost mental well-being. Students should also schedule offline activities like sports, reading, or face-to-face socializing to maintain a healthy balance between virtual and real-world interactions. Parents and schools play a crucial role in modeling and teaching digital wellness. Open discussions about responsible technology use, cyberbullying prevention, and critical thinking about online information should be encouraged. Teachers can incorporate digital literacy into their curriculum to help students navigate the online world safely. By carrying out these strategies, teenagers can enjoy technology’s benefits while avoiding its risks. Healthy digital habits formed during school years will serve students well throughout their lives in our increasingly connected world. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The passage discusses the importance of developing healthy digital habits for teenagers.
