Each 20-minute episode features beloved characters on adventures, and there are related mindfulness exercises in the Headspace app. 5.

Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions. I held strong until. I got in the car to drive home. That’s when I fell to pieces. I fought to see the road through my tears as I spoke with my travel agent to book the next flight out. My mother pulled through the surgery. My response to my mother’s crisis was in line with my deep, long-term fear of showing weakness or admitting to feeling overwhelmed. As the youngest daughter from a Vietnamese refugee family, showcasing my strength seemed the best way to honor my parents’ and siblings’s acrifices that have given me a better life in the United States. I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable. The truth was, I desired to pause, to catch my breath, to simply say, “I’m struggling.” I longed to be weak. I wanted to acknowledge my mistakes, to honor a range of emotions, and to ask for help. Cautiously, I began to reveal some of my struggles to my personal and professional circles, watching closely for reactions. Some looked down on my experience. To my great relief, a few listened without judgment and respected my boundaries and coping process. They offered information about counseling services, legal help, support groups, and hotlines. They helped me see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support. To anyone bearing the weight of constant strength, hear this: True strength isn’t about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling, reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and move on. 4. What did the author do after hanging up the phone? A. She drove to look after her mother. B. She quickly booked a flight ticket. C. She hesitated to start her teaching. D. She kept calm and stayed on duty. 5. Why did the author showcase her strength? A. To help her mother make a full recovery. B. To prove she lived a good and happy life. C. To avoid possible doubts over her abilities. D. To give herself an advantage in promotion. 6. How did some people help the author? A. By persuading her to win leaders’ support. B. By convincing her seeking help is a must. C. By listening to her and giving judgments. D. By sharing similar experiences with her. 7. What does the author want to convey in the text? A. Strength does not mean hiding struggles. B. Strength gives us more courage to grow. C. Comparing yourself with others is harmful. D. Worldly labels block personal development. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述作者在母亲突发手术时仍坚持授课，害怕展现脆弱；随后开始尝试向他人袒露自己的挣扎，得到一些人的理解和支持，认识到真正的强大是勇于寻求帮助并重新站起来。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Moments before heading to teach a class, I received a call from my sister: My mother was going into emergency surgery and might not make it through the night. Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions.(就在我准备去上课之前，我接到了姐姐的电话：我母亲要做紧急手术，可能熬不过今晚了。五分钟后，我站在68名MBA学生面前讲课，没有丝毫停顿，甚至课后还留了几分钟回答问题)”可知，作者挂掉电话后，保持冷静并继续履行职责。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As the youngest daughter from a Vietnamese refugee family, showcasing my strength seemed the best way to honor my parents’ and siblings’s acrifices that have given me a better life in the United States. I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable.(作为一个越南难民家庭的小女儿，展示我的力量似乎是向父母和兄弟姐妹们致敬的最好方式，他们的牺牲让我在美国过上了更好的生活。我不想让同事质疑我的能力，也不想让朋友和家人觉得我不够坚定)”可知，作者展示自己的力量是为了避免他人对自己能力产生怀疑。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“They offered information about counseling services, legal help, support groups, and hotlines. They helped me see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support.(他们提供有关咨询服务、法律帮助、支持团体和热线的信息。他们帮助我认识到，即使是处于领导地位的专业人士也需要帮助)”可知，一些人让作者意识到即使是处于领导地位的专业人士也需要帮助，说明他们让作者明白了寻求帮助是必须做的事情。故选B项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“True strength isn’t about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling, reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and move on.(真正的坚强不是从不犹豫。而是有勇气承认自己正在挣扎，寻求帮助，并有力量重新振作起来继续前进)”可知，作者认为有勇气承认自己的挣扎、寻求帮助并重新振作才是真正的坚强，作者想传达的是坚强并不意味着掩饰挣扎。故选A项。 C Are you a short video app user? Chances are that you’re more familiar with 15-second sped-up clips of songs than with the original tracks themselves. This trend has been evident on social media platforms, notably Douyin and TikTok, where creators boost the rhythm by 25-30 percent to match short viral videos featuring dances or other themes. These altered versions have even pushed some musicians to the top of official singles charts. As a Radio l Anthems host told the BBC, although sped-up versions of songs can help artists go viral, that initial success may not last This isn’t just about music. Social media users also accelerate podcasts, movies, etc. for quicker consumption. The sped-up mode provides a faster way to achieve the dopamine (多巴胺) rush that social media aims to spark, leading to addiction and influencing our actions. While it seems efficient, speeding up content has significant drawbacks. “So many people worked hard making specific decisions about pacing, lighting, timing and music, and speeding that all up just ruins it,” a Reddit user commented. Another user also mentioned that if someone consumes content this way, their viewpoint of the movie or the song is not valid. It seems that people speed up content not because they enjoy movies and songs but rather simply to complete the action of “watching” and “listening”. It’s as if they’re telling the creators: “I don’t have the patience to care about all the detailed design and subtle emotions you put into the work.” All they want is a quick general idea of “what’s going on” and a feeling of “wow, I just consumed another piece of information”. Evidently, this approach weakens creators’ efforts and erodes people’s patience. However, people often fail to realize that this also destroys their patience with life. Beginning with sped-up songs and movies, it gradually creeps into daily life. A Chinese netizen once shared, “I found myself becoming impatient with doing research for my work or preparing for a test,” highlighting how this habit extends to longer-term tasks. We already live in a fast-paced society, yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect. What’s the rush? Some things should not be sped up, like our patience for beauty and hard work. 8. What might be a possible result of sped-up song versions on social media? A. They boost the popularity of original songs. B. They decrease the consumption of short videos. C. They lead musicians to top official singles charts. D. They help musicians maintain long-term success. 9. From Reddit users’ perspectives, what impact does speeding up content have? A. It reduces audience’s appreciation level of art. B. It enhances the dopamine rush for better mood. C. It offers a more effective way to grasp the content. D. It damages media’s works and devalues consumers’ views. 10. What does the underlined word “erodes” mean in Paragraph 5? A. Tests out. B. Uses up. C. Wears away. D. Calls for. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the trend of speeding up content on social media? A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Objective. D. Ambiguous. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了社交媒体中加速播放内容的现象及其对艺术创作和观众耐心的负面影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This trend has been evident on social media platforms, notably Douyin and TikTok, where creators boost the rhythm by 25-30 percent to match short viral videos featuring dances or other themes.(这一趋势在社交媒体平台上显而易见，尤其是在抖音和TikTok上，创作者将节奏提高了25-30%，以配合以舞蹈或其他主题为特色的热门短视频)”以及第二段中“These altered versions have even pushed some musicians to the top of official singles charts.(这些修改后的版本甚至将一些音乐家推上了官方单曲排行榜的榜首)”可知，加速版歌曲可能会让音乐人登上官方单曲排行榜榜首。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““So many people worked hard making specific decisions about pacing, lighting, timing and music, and speeding that all up just ruins it,” a Reddit user commented. Another user also mentioned that if someone consumes content this way, their viewpoint of the movie or the song is not valid.(一位Reddit用户评论道：“很多人都在节奏、灯光、时机和音乐方面费尽心思做了细致的设计，而把这一切都加速播放只会毁掉它。”另一位用户也提到，要是有人以这种方式消费内容，他们对这部电影或这首歌的看法是站不住脚的)”可知，从Reddit用户的角度来看，加速内容会破坏媒体作品并贬低消费者的观点。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Evidently, this approach weakens creators’ efforts and erodes people’s patience.(显然，这种方法削弱了创作者的努力，_____了人们的耐心)”可知，这种方法削弱了创作者的努力，并且对人们的耐心产生了负面影响，即逐渐削弱或磨损了人们的耐心，“erodes”与“破坏、削弱”意思相近，“Wears away(逐渐磨损)”符合语境。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段“We already live in a fast-paced society, yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect. What’s the rush? Some things should not be sped up, like our patience for beauty and hard work.(我们已经生活在一个快节奏的社会中，但我们仍然试图在各个方面加速它。急什么呢？有些事情不应该加速，比如我们对美和努力的耐心)”可推知，作者对社交媒体上加速内容的趋势持否定态度。故选A。 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。 If you’re a hiker or outdoor person, you know how important it can be to bring a snack with you on a long outdoor adventure. ____12____ But when you’re done with your apple, you can just throw the core away, right? While your banana skin or apple core will degrade when exposed to nature, it is not necessarily safe for the environment for you to do so. Here’s why. ____13____ If you’ve ever had a compost heap (堆肥堆), you know that when you throw something in the compost, it takes some time to biodegrade and turn into rich, dark soil. Compost heaps are often the most ideal places for this organic matter to break down. ____14____ Next, leaving food waste could harm wildlife. If you leave an apple core near your favorite outdoor adventure spot, a deer may come along and decide to finish eating it for you. ____15____ However, feeding wildlife increases habituation. If an animal becomes habituated to finding apple cores along roadsides, for example, it increases the likelihood that it will be hurt or killed by passing traffic. Ultimately, the best practice when experiencing nature is to pack out everything that you pack in, even biodegradable food waste. Humans have systems in place for dealing with the quantity of organic food waste we produce. ____16____ A. The deer may be happy with the find. B. Do remember to bring your favorite snack. C. First, food waste might not degrade quickly. D. Finally, this might attract a group of wild deer. E. The ground near your favorite local hiking path is not. F. Nature, on the other hand, may have a harder time dealing with our waste. G. A banana, apple, or some other snack can make all the difference to how far you can go. 【答案】12. G 13. C 14. E 15. A 16. F 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要解释了为什么不能将果核、果皮等残渣扔在自然环境中。 【12题详解】 根据空前“If you’re a hiker or outdoor person, you know how important it can be to bring a snack with you on a long outdoor adventure.(如果你是一个徒步旅行者或户外爱好者，你知道在漫长的户外探险中带零食有多重要)”和空后“But when you're done with your apple, you can just throw the core away, right?(但当你吃完苹果后，你可以直接扔掉果核，对吧？)”可知，空前提到了在漫长的户外探险中带零食的重要性，空后提出吃完苹果会将直接扔掉果核，故G项“一个香蕉、苹果或其他零食可以决定你能走多远”符合，承接前文，强调户外活动带零食的重要性，且引出后文关于仍苹果核的话题。故选G项。 【13题详解】 根据空后“If you’ve ever had a compost heap (堆肥堆) , you know that when you throw something in the compost, it takes some time to biodegrade and turn into rich, dark soil.(如果你曾经有过堆肥堆，你知道当你把东西扔进堆肥时，它需要一些时间来生物降解并变成肥沃的土壤)”可知，空后提到将垃圾扔进堆肥，需要花费一些时间来生物降解，故C项“首先，食物残渣可能不会快速降解”作为本段的主旨句，说明食物降解需要时间。故选C项。 【14题详解】 根据空前“Compost heaps are often the most ideal places for this organic matter to break down.(堆肥堆通常是这种有机物质分解的最理想场所)”可知，空前提到堆肥堆是有机物质分解的最理想的场所，故E项“你最喜欢的徒步路径附近的地面不是”与堆肥形成对比，说明自然环境不适合降解。故选E项。 【15题详解】 根据空前“If you leave an apple core near your favorite outdoor adventure spot, a deer may come along and decide to finish eating it for you.(如果你在你喜欢的户外探险地点附近留下一个苹果核，一只鹿可能会过来决定帮你吃掉它)”可知，空前提到鹿可能会吃掉你留下的食物残渣，故A项“鹿可能会对这个发现感到高兴”承接前文，并与后文“However, feeding wildlife increases habituation.(然而，喂养野生动物会增加它们的习惯化)”构成转折关系。故选A项。 【16题详解】 根据空前“Humans have systems in place for dealing with the quantity of organic food waste we produce.(人类有系统处理我们产生的大量有机食物残渣)”可知，前文提到人类有处理食物残渣的系统，故F项“另一方面，自然可能更难处理我们的垃圾”与人类系统形成对比，人类有处理食物残渣的系统，但自然很难处理我们的垃圾。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15 小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Whenever photographer Casey Ryan heads into the wilderness, he brings along his drone (无人机) to capture photographs from a bird's eye view.

No matter where I have it, one hotpot is ____40____ (hard) enough, yet two seems greedy, so I am always left _____41_____ (expect) more next time. 【答案】32. tasty 33. sliced 34. and 35. recognized 36. for 37. to be remembered 38. a 39. whose 40. hardly. 41. expecting 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了重庆火锅的特点及其独特的魅力，包括其丰富的汤底、多样的食材、独特的口味以及令人难忘的体验。重庆火锅以其麻辣风味著称，是中国美食文化的重要组成部分。 【32题详解】 考查形容词。句意：浓郁、美味的汤里满是花椒和干辣椒。“soup” 是名词，需要用形容词来修饰，“taste”（味道，名词）的形容词形式 “tasty”表示“美味的”，在句中作定语修饰 “soup”。故填tasty。 【33题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：吃火锅时，你必须首先挑选食材，如切得很薄的牛肉、豆腐，甚至像鸭肠这样奇特的选择，然后把它们放在冒泡的汤里煮，直到它们吸收浓郁、辛辣的味道。“beef”（牛肉）和 “slice”（切片）之间是被动关系，即牛肉是被切成薄片的，所以用过去分词 “sliced”作定语修饰 “beef”，表示“切好的牛肉”。故填sliced。 【34题详解】 考查连词。句意：吃火锅时，你必须首先挑选食材，如切得很薄的牛肉、豆腐，甚至像鸭肠这样奇特的选择，然后把它们放在冒泡的汤里煮，直到它们吸收浓郁、辛辣的味道。pick your ingredients”（挑选食材）和 “cook them in the bubbling soup”（把它们放在冒泡的汤里煮）是吃火锅的两个先后动作，为并列顺承关系，所以用连词“and” 连接。故填and。 【35题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：重庆绝对是公认的麻辣火锅发源地，尽管在中国各地都有不同的火锅种类。“home”（发源地）和 “recognize”（认可，承认）之间是被动关系，即重庆是被公认为麻辣火锅的发源地，所以用过去分词 “recognized”作定语修饰“home”，表示“被认可的发源地”。故填recognized。 【36题详解】 考查固定搭配。 句意：与其他地方较温和的火锅版本不同，重庆火锅主要以其独特的风味和浓烈的辣味而闻名，让每一个去过那里的游客都难以忘怀。 “be known for”是固定短语，意为 “因…… 而闻名”，这里表示重庆火锅因它独特的风味和浓烈的辣味而闻名，所以用介词 。故填 for。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：与其他地方较温和的火锅版本不同，重庆火锅主要以其独特的风味和浓烈的辣味而闻名，让每一个去过那里的游客都难以忘怀。“allow sb./sth. to do sth.” 是固定用法，意为 “允许某人 / 某物做某事”，“it” 指代“the Chongqing style”（重庆火锅风格），“it”和 “remember”（记住）之间是被动关系，即重庆火锅风格被记住，所以要用动词不定式的被动形式 “to be remembered”。故填to be remembered。 【38题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：一次美妙的火锅体验的关键在于汤底，它应该香气扑鼻、辣味十足，且味道层次丰富，还带有一丝麻味。“a touch of”是固定短语，意为“一点儿，少许”，“a touch of numbing heat”表示 “一点儿麻味”，故填a。 【39题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：蘸料的主要成分是香油、大蒜和醋，它能很好地缓解辣味，让你吃了还想吃。“8 main components are sesame oil, garlic, and vinegar” 是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是 “the dipping sauce”（蘸料），关系词在从句中作定语，修饰“main components”（主要成分），表示 “蘸料的主要成分”，所以用关系代词“whose” 引导定语从句。故填whose。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：无论我在哪里吃火锅，一顿几乎是不够的，然而吃两顿似乎又太贪心了，所以我总是期待着下次能再多吃些。“hardly”是副词，意为“几乎不”，在句中作状语修饰 “enough”。故填hardly。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：无论我在哪里吃火锅，一顿几乎是不够的，然而吃两顿似乎又太贪心了，所以我总是期待着下次能再多吃些。“leave sb. doing sth.” 是固定用法，意为 “使某人一直做某事”，“I”（我）和 “expect”（期待）之间是主动关系，即 “我” 主动期待下次能多吃，本句为为sb be left doing sth,所以用现在分词 “expecting” 作主语补足语。故填 expecting。 第Ⅱ卷 （非选择题） 第四部分：基础知识（共1节，满分15分） 根据相应提示，填写括号内单词的正确形式或在空白处填写正确的单词，完成下列句子（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 42. ____________(locate) at the west end of the city, the park has a lot of room for visitors to walk around.

For most students, it was a day of excitement and joy, but for me, it was just another event I wanted to avoid. I had always been the type to shy away from group activities, preferring the company of my books and thoughts. Our class monitor, Sarah, noticed my unwillingness. She was the very image of enthusiasm and leadership, always trying to bring the class together. One day, she approached me during lunch. “Why don’t you join us for the relay race? It’ll be fun,” she said with a warm smile. I hesitated, but her persistence was hard to ignore. The next day, Sarah organized a practice session. I unwillingly joined, feeling out of place among my more athletic classmates. As we ran, I tripped and fell, scraping (擦伤) my knee. Embarrassed, I wanted to quit, but Sarah was there in an instant, offering a hand and words of encouragement. “It’s okay, we’re a team,” she said. At this time, other fellow classmates came to encourage me. Their kindness made me feel less alone. As the days went by, I found myself looking forward to the practices. The care and support among my classmates was infectious. I began to see the value of teamwork and the joy of shared experiences. My initial unwillingness melted away, replaced by a newfound sense of belonging. The anticipation for the sports day filled me with excitement. I dream of the cheers, the applauding crowd, and the thrill of competition. Training hard, I longed to showcase my skills, push my limits, share and feel the joy of victory. This event was more than a game; it means a lot for me. I could not wait to be part of it! 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。 The day I looked forward to came eventually. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Our opponent winning narrowly, I blamed our failure on myself. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The day I looked forward to came eventually. The air buzzed with cheers as our relay team stepped onto the track. I was seized by tension and unease, my palms sweating constantly. Sarah patted me on my shoulders, giving me encouragement with an inspiring look. A sense of determination crowding in, I raised my head confidently. When the whistle blew, I dashed like an arrow. But my competitors ran rather fast. My teammates’ shouts urged me forward. What made me frustrated was that I didn’t catch up with them. I was the last one to hand over the baton. Our opponent winning narrowly, I blamed our failure on myself. “If I’d run faster, we could have won.” I murmured, burying my head, with tears of guilt rolling down my checks. Approaching me. Sara said firmly, “We all gave our best!” The team gathered around, echoing her words. So warm was I that I felt incredibly comforted. Later, we shared snacks under a tree, encouraging each other to do it better next year. We were overwhelmed with joy, broad smiles lighting up our faces. It was then that I realized victory wasn’t just about medals; it was the courage to try and the bonds we’d built. Sports Day had taught me to cherish both. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一次秋季运动会为线索展开，讲述了作者在班长Sarah和同学们的鼓励下，从逃避集体活动到逐渐融入团队、感受友谊与归属感的心路历程。作者起初对运动会充满抗拒，但在一次训练中摔倒后，受到同学们的关心与鼓励，开始意识到团队合作的意义。通过不断努力训练，不仅突破了自我，还体会到分享胜利喜悦的幸福，最终将这场运动会视为个人成长的重要时刻。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我期待已久的日子终于到来了。”可知，第一段可描写赛场上的氛围以及作者参加比赛的心情以和表现，结合第二段提示的内容，此处指出最终比赛失利的结果。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们的对手险胜，我把失败归咎于自己。”可知，第二段可描写作者对这一结果内心的反应和Sarah与同学们又是如何鼓励作者的和作者对比赛经历的感悟。 2.续写线索：比赛到来——赛场上气氛热烈——输掉比赛——作者感到内疚——Sarah与同学们的鼓励——对比赛经历的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走上赛道：stepped onto the track/walk onto the track/take to the track ②涌入：crowding in/flood in/rush in ③滚动而下：rolling down/stream down/flow down 情绪类 ①沮丧：frustrated/upset/dejected ②高兴：with joy/with excitement/with delight/excitedly 【点睛】[高分句型1] I was seized by tension and unease, my palms sweating constantly.（运用了独立主格结构作状语） [高分句型2] What made me frustrated was that I didn’t catch up with them.（运用了what引导的主语从句和that引导的表语从句） [高分句型3] It was then that I realized victory wasn’t just about medals; it was the courage to try and the bonds we’d built.（运用了强调句型结构“it was+被强调部分+that”强调状语） 听力试题 第一部分：听力 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节：（共5 小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Insomnia has become a common issue. But did you know that bedtime stories can be a great help for grown-ups, too? Here are five amazing podcasts to help you unwind and fall asleep easily. 1. Get Sleepy: Hosted by Tom Jones with a soothing British accent, this podcast offers meditative sleep stories. You can mentally wander around a Bavarian castle or attend a 1920s London tea party. Each episode’s description includes details about the sounds and atmosphere, so you can choose your favorite. 2. Boring Books for Bedtime: If you like reading before bed but worry about getting too engaged, this podcast is perfect. Host Sharon Handy reads chapters from dull yet interesting books, such as H. G. Wells’ A Short History of the World or old car manuals. 3. Nothing Much Happens: Host Kathryn Nicolai, also a yoga and meditation teacher, creates a cozy atmosphere. Each episode starts with a breathing exercise, followed by a warm and uneventful bedtime story read twice, with the second time slower. The stories change with the seasons. 4. Goodnight, World!: This is a collaboration between Headspace and “Sesame Street”. Although designed for kids, it can also help adults relax. Each 20-minute episode features beloved characters on adventures, and there are related mindfulness exercises in the Headspace app. 5. Phoebe Reads a Mystery: Phoebe Judge, known from the popular podcast Criminal, reads fictional crime stories chapter by chapter here. She covers classic works like Frankenstein and The Turn of the Screw. Hope these podcasts become your sleep allies and bring you a restful night every time! 1. What do Get Sleepy and Nothing Much Happens have in common? A. Both provide a calming atmosphere. B. Both offer seasonal story variations. C. Both start with breathing techniques. D.

Who are the intended readers of this passage? A. Kids needing digital bedtime stories. B. Adults struggling with sleep problems. C. Students suffering from study pressure. D. Parents seeking bedtime stories for children. B Moments before heading to teach a class, I received a call from my sister: My mother was going into emergency surgery and might not make it through the night. Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions. I held strong until. I got in the car to drive home. That’s when I fell to pieces. I fought to see the road through my tears as I spoke with my travel agent to book the next flight out. My mother pulled through the surgery. My response to my mother’s crisis was in line with my deep, long-term fear of showing weakness or admitting to feeling overwhelmed. As the youngest daughter from a Vietnamese refugee family, showcasing my strength seemed the best way to honor my parents’ and siblings’s acrifices that have given me a better life in the United States. I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable. The truth was, I desired to pause, to catch my breath, to simply say, “I’m struggling.” I longed to be weak. I wanted to acknowledge my mistakes, to honor a range of emotions, and to ask for help. Cautiously, I began to reveal some of my struggles to my personal and professional circles, watching closely for reactions. Some looked down on my experience. To my great relief, a few listened without judgment and respected my boundaries and coping process. They offered information about counseling services, legal help, support groups, and hotlines. They helped me see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support. To anyone bearing the weight of constant strength, hear this: True strength isn’t about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling, reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and move on. 4. What did the author do after hanging up the phone? A. She drove to look after her mother. B. She quickly booked a flight ticket. C. She hesitated to start her teaching. D. She kept calm and stayed on duty. 5. Why did the author showcase her strength? A. To help her mother make a full recovery. B. To prove she lived a good and happy life. C. To avoid possible doubts over her abilities. D. To give herself an advantage in promotion. 6. How did some people help the author? A. By persuading her to win leaders’ support. B. By convincing her seeking help is a must. C. By listening to her and giving judgments. D. By sharing similar experiences with her. 7. What does the author want to convey in the text? A. Strength does not mean hiding struggles. B. Strength gives us more courage to grow. C. Comparing yourself with others is harmful. D. Worldly labels block personal development. C Are you a short video app user? Chances are that you’re more familiar with 15-second sped-up clips of songs than with the original tracks themselves. This trend has been evident on social media platforms, notably Douyin and TikTok, where creators boost the rhythm by 25-30 percent to match short viral videos featuring dances or other themes. These altered versions have even pushed some musicians to the top of official singles charts. As a Radio l Anthems host told the BBC, although sped-up versions of songs can help artists go viral, that initial success may not last This isn’t just about music. Social media users also accelerate podcasts, movies, etc. for quicker consumption. The sped-up mode provides a faster way to achieve the dopamine (多巴胺) rush that social media aims to spark, leading to addiction and influencing our actions. While it seems efficient, speeding up content has significant drawbacks. “So many people worked hard making specific decisions about pacing, lighting, timing and music, and speeding that all up just ruins it,” a Reddit user commented. Another user also mentioned that if someone consumes content this way, their viewpoint of the movie or the song is not valid. It seems that people speed up content not because they enjoy movies and songs but rather simply to complete the action of “watching” and “listening”. It’s as if they’re telling the creators: “I don’t have the patience to care about all the detailed design and subtle emotions you put into the work.” All they want is a quick general idea of “what’s going on” and a feeling of “wow, I just consumed another piece of information”. Evidently, this approach weakens creators’ efforts and erodes people’s patience. However, people often fail to realize that this also destroys their patience with life. Beginning with sped-up songs and movies, it gradually creeps into daily life. A Chinese netizen once shared, “I found myself becoming impatient with doing research for my work or preparing for a test,” highlighting how this habit extends to longer-term tasks. We already live in a fast-paced society, yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect. What’s the rush? Some things should not be sped up, like our patience for beauty and hard work. 8. What might be a possible result of sped-up song versions on social media? A. They boost the popularity of original songs. B. They decrease the consumption of short videos. C. They lead musicians to top official singles charts. D. They help musicians maintain long-term success. 9. From Reddit users’ perspectives, what impact does speeding up content have? A. It reduces audience’s appreciation level of art. B. It enhances the dopamine rush for better mood. C. It offers a more effective way to grasp the content. D. It damages media’s works and devalues consumers’ views. 10. What does the underlined word “erodes” mean in Paragraph 5? A. Tests out. B. Uses up. C. Wears away. D. Calls for. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the trend of speeding up content on social media? A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Objective. D. Ambiguous. 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。 If you’re a hiker or outdoor person, you know how important it can be to bring a snack with you on a long outdoor adventure. ____12____ But when you’re done with your apple, you can just throw the core away, right? While your banana skin or apple core will degrade when exposed to nature, it is not necessarily safe for the environment for you to do so. Here’s why. ____13____ If you’ve ever had a compost heap (堆肥堆), you know that when you throw something in the compost, it takes some time to biodegrade and turn into rich, dark soil. Compost heaps are often the most ideal places for this organic matter to break down. ____14____ Next, leaving food waste could harm wildlife. If you leave an apple core near your favorite outdoor adventure spot, a deer may come along and decide to finish eating it for you. ____15____ However, feeding wildlife increases habituation. If an animal becomes habituated to finding apple cores along roadsides, for example, it increases the likelihood that it will be hurt or killed by passing traffic. Ultimately, the best practice when experiencing nature is to pack out everything that you pack in, even biodegradable food waste. Humans have systems in place for dealing with the quantity of organic food waste we produce. ____16____ A. The deer may be happy with the find. B. Do remember to bring your favorite snack. C. First, food waste might not degrade quickly. D. Finally, this might attract a group of wild deer. E. The ground near your favorite local hiking path is not. F. Nature, on the other hand, may have a harder time dealing with our waste. G. A banana, apple, or some other snack can make all the difference to how far you can go. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15 小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Whenever photographer Casey Ryan heads into the wilderness, he brings along his drone (无人机) to capture photographs from a bird's eye view.

For most students, it was a day of excitement and joy, but for me, it was just another event I wanted to avoid. I had always been the type to shy away from group activities, preferring the company of my books and thoughts. Our class monitor, Sarah, noticed my unwillingness. She was the very image of enthusiasm and leadership, always trying to bring the class together. One day, she approached me during lunch. “Why don’t you join us for the relay race? It’ll be fun,” she said with a warm smile. I hesitated, but her persistence was hard to ignore. The next day, Sarah organized a practice session. I unwillingly joined, feeling out of place among my more athletic classmates. As we ran, I tripped and fell, scraping (擦伤) my knee. Embarrassed, I wanted to quit, but Sarah was there in an instant, offering a hand and words of encouragement. “It’s okay, we’re a team,” she said. At this time, other fellow classmates came to encourage me. Their kindness made me feel less alone. As the days went by, I found myself looking forward to the practices. The care and support among my classmates was infectious. I began to see the value of teamwork and the joy of shared experiences. My initial unwillingness melted away, replaced by a newfound sense of belonging. The anticipation for the sports day filled me with excitement. I dream of the cheers, the applauding crowd, and the thrill of competition. Training hard, I longed to showcase my skills, push my limits, share and feel the joy of victory. This event was more than a game; it means a lot for me. I could not wait to be part of it! 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 The day I looked forward to came eventually. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Our opponent winning narrowly, I blamed our failure on myself. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力试题 第一部分：听力 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节：（共5 小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.
