Now eleven years old, Caleb became the youngest motivational speaker (male) at the age of three, when he gave his first speech on the importance of self-belief. It was at the ALARM International Church in Tallahassee, and the young Master of Reading remembers his first speech fondly: “Everyone stood up for me and I felt proud of myself. It felt really good to see how I made an impact and inspired everyone.” Ever since that first experience, Caleb has continued to speak to schools, churches, and community leaders about topics ranging from dreaming big and believing in yourself to the importance of literacy and reading fluency. He made his second speech at Raa Middle School where, as a keynote speaker at a teacher training event, he stood on a table and spoke to the staff about the benefits of reading and having big dreams. A video of this speech became popular. Caleb writes his own speeches by picking a topic, breaking his thoughts into sections, and then putting them together to study. His key recommendations for a great speech are: “Be confident, be calm, and if you mess up, keep going. Speak loud and clear.” He is a passionate reader who, in his own words, “reads at every opportunity he gets”. When he was seven years old, after reading an article highlighting the lack of reading proficiency (能力) among today’s children, he decided that he wanted to help them improve their skills. So, he set up the Master Caleb’s Discovery Library—a non-profit library through which he donates books from his personal collection, along with other learning materials, to kids in his community. For Caleb, it’s always been a family affair—his passion for motivational speaking is not only supported but also greatly inspired by those closest to him. His favorite speaker to listen to is his uncle, while his grandmother inspires him the most and assists with his motivational speaking and academic growth. 4. What was the topic of Caleb’s first speech? A. The benefits of reading books. B. The tips on writing a good speech. C. The necessity of dreaming big. D. The significance of believing in oneself. 5. What can be inferred about Caleb’s second speech at Raa Middle School? A. It was delivered in an informal manner. B. It was poorly received by the audience. C. It was recorded and gained wide attention. D. It focused mainly on academic performance. 6. Why did Caleb set up the Master Caleb’s Discovery Library? A. To enhance kids’ reading skills. B. To compete with other libraries. C. To earn money by selling books. D. To follow his uncle’s career path. 7 What is the text mainly about? A. The influence of family on a child’s growth. B. The challenges of early childhood education. C. The journey of a young motivational speaker. D. The importance of speaking skills in society. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是年轻励志演讲者Caleb Stewart的成长历程与积极贡献。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Now eleven years old, Caleb became the youngest motivational speaker (male) at the age of three, when he gave his first speech on the importance of self-belief.(如今11岁的卡莱布在3岁时就成为全球最年轻的男性励志演说家，当时他的首场演讲主题正是“相信自己的力量”。)”可知，Caleb三岁时进行了第一次演讲，主题是自我信念的重要性，也就是相信自己的重要性。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“He made his second speech at Raa Middle School where, as a keynote speaker at a teacher training event, he stood on a table and spoke to the staff about the benefits of reading and having big dreams. A video of this speech became popular.(他的第二次演讲是在拉阿中学，身为教师培训活动的主讲嘉宾，他站在一张桌子上对全体教职工畅谈阅读的好处与远大梦想，相关视频随后走红网络。)”可知，这次演讲被录制下来并受到了广泛关注。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“When he was seven years old, after reading an article highlighting the lack of reading proficiency (能力) among today’s children, he decided that he wanted to help them improve their skills. So, he set up the Master Caleb’s Discovery Library—a non-profit library through which he donates books from his personal collection, along with other learning materials, to kids in his community.(7岁那年，他读到一篇报道，得知当今儿童阅读能力不足，于是决定出手相助，创立了“Master Caleb’s Discovery Library”——一个非营利图书项目，把自己收藏书籍和其他学习材料捐赠给社区里的孩子。)”可知，设立这个非营利图书馆的目的是提高孩子们的阅读技能。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“While most children struggle to form full sentences until they’re three or four, three-year-old Master Caleb Stewart was delivering speeches with more enthusiasm than a TED Talk. Now eleven years old, Caleb became the youngest motivational speaker (male) at the age of three, when he gave his first speech on the importance of self-belief.(大多数孩子要到三四岁才能说出完整句子，而三岁的Master Caleb Stewart却已经带着比TED演讲还高涨的热情发表演说。如今11岁的Caleb在3岁时就成为全球最年轻的男性励志演说家，当时他的首场演讲主题正是“相信自己的力量”。)”可知，本文主要讲的是年轻励志演讲者Caleb Stewart的成长历程与积极贡献，因此本文的主旨是C选项“The journey of a young motivational speaker.(一位年轻励志演讲者的成长之路。)”。故选C。 C Sea turtles (海龟) have been around since the time of the dinosaurs, having survived multiple extinction events over 100 million years. But the serious effects of human activity have caused rapid population decline, and now six of the seven sea turtle species are considered threatened. There are signs of hope through the hard work of conservationists and community-based organizations around the world. It’s what has made Trinidad and Tobago — a two-island nation — one of the most important leatherback (棱皮龟) nesting sites. Each season, the islands’ conservation teams depend on visitors to help give these creatures a fighting chance against the many threats to their survival — including habitat destruction, climate change-caused reproductive issues, and bycatch offshore. The turtle-watching tours they run provide vital revenue to fund monitoring and conservation efforts; and volunteers — including travelers from overseas — power that work in the field. “The number of leatherbacks nesting there — it’s almost like a mass nesting event,” says Vanessa Bezy, a wildlife conservationist from the U.S. who is working to protect sea turtles in Costa Rica. “Where I am, leatherbacks are critically endangered. I think there’s only a couple hundred left in this part of the Pacific.” Volunteers are responsible for making Trinidad and Tobago’s humble turtle conservation a success story worldwide. They spend untold hours tagging (标记), counting, and measuring nesting mothers; monitoring and sometimes even relocating nests; and helping safeguard the turtles from natural enemies and threats. Their hard work has caused the illegal hunting of leatherbacks and taking of their eggs to fall to near zero. That work began in 1965 through the cooperation between the University of the West Indies and the Trinidad and Tobago Field Naturalists’ Club. In 1989, the nation’s Forestry Division developed a co-management partnership with the rural communities where turtles nest, helping them grow to lead the conservation effort in the decades that followed. Today, twenty-eight of these groups form the Turtle Village Trust. 8. What is stated about sea turtles in paragraph 1? A. They have increased greatly. B. Most of them are threatened. C. They live mainly on the island. D. Their habitats remain unaffected. 9. What does the underlined word “revenue” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Data. B. Support. C. Advice. D. Income. 10. Which of the following best describes volunteers’ work? A. Debatable. B. Fruitful. C. Temporary. D. Simple. 11. What is a result of the cooperation in conserving sea turtles? A. Costs are largely reduced. B. More groups are established. C. Illegal hunters are punished. D. Rural communities take the lead. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是海龟的生存现状、特立尼达和多巴哥在海龟保护方面所取得的成效及背后原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But the serious effects of human activity have caused rapid population decline, and now six of the seven sea turtle species are considered threatened.(然而，人类活动的严重影响致使海龟数量急剧下降，如今七种海龟物种中有六种都被认为受到了威胁)”可知，关于海龟，第一段叙述了它们中的大多数都受到了威胁。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The turtle-watching tours they run(他们经营的观龟之旅)”和“to fund monitoring and conservation efforts(来资助监测和保护工作)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“他们开展的海龟观赏之旅提供了至关重要的revenue，用于资助监测和保护工作”，revenue的意思是“收入”，和Income意思相近。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Their hard work has caused the illegal hunting of leatherbacks and taking of their eggs to fall to near zero.(他们的辛勤工作使得棱皮龟的非法捕猎以及偷蛋的行为几乎降为零)”可知，志愿者的工作是富有成效的。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In 1989, the nation’s Forestry Division developed a co-management partnership with the rural communities where turtles nest, helping them grow to lead the conservation effort in the decades that followed.(1989年，该国的林业部门与海龟筑巢的农村社区建立了共同管理合作关系，帮助这些社区在随后的几十年里成长为保护工作的主导力量)”可知，在保护海龟方面的合作的结果是农村社区在保护工作中起主导作用。故选D。 D The unfortunate thing about parenting books is that, in my experience, once you become a parent you are too time-poor and tired to read them. As a result, my bedside table is filled with parenting books of which I’ve read the first five pages a dozen times before passing out. If this sounds like you, the latest book by Melinda Wenner Moyer should be top of your list. Hello, Cruel World!: Science-based strategies for raising terrific kids in terrifying times is designed as a research-backed guide to help parents equip their children with the tools they need to succeed. The chapters of this book are short and readable, broken down into bite-sized sections, each giving you one piece of advice and the science to back it up. Moyer shows a lot of understanding and can help you take a kid’s-eye view on even their most annoying behaviors. How can we get children to be more open, fair-minded and willing to consider other viewpoints? One way is to encourage curiosity and uncertainty from a young age. Children, as we know, are like young scientists. “One of their most important jobs is to make sense of the world around them,” writes Moyer. This curiosity can often conflict with an adult’s desire to get things done. “When you ask your children to clean their room, then find them thirty minutes later studying an insect in the bathroom…it’s easy to dismiss their behavior as disobedience (不服从).” Their seemingly distracted (分心的) behavior is actually a natural part of their learning process. Parents should respond with empathy (同理心) and support rather than criticism. The book also addresses important issues like the impact of technology on children. Moyer challenges common misconceptions and provides practical advice on when and how to introduce mobile phones and social media to kids. Her insights help parents deal with these complex topics with a balanced and informed opinion. 12. Why do many parents fail to finish reading parenting books? A. They lack time and energy. B. They lose interest in reading. C. They find the books to be of poor quality. D. They prioritize practical tasks over reading. 13. What is the feature of Hello, Cruel World!? A. Theoretical. B. Science-backed. C. Complicated. D. Experience-based. 14. What should parents do when their children are studying an insect? A. Dismiss their behaviors. B. Correct their distraction. C. Encourage their curiosity. D. Ask them to follow instructions. 15. What is this text? A. A book review. B. A writing guide. C. A parenting paper. D. A science report. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了Melinda Wenner Moyer的新书Hello, Cruel World!: Science-based strategies for raising terrific kids in terrifying times。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The unfortunate thing about parenting books is that, in my experience, once you become a parent you are too time-poor and tired to read them.(关于育儿书籍的不幸之处在于，根据我的经验，一旦你成为了父母，你就会因为时间太紧、太累而无法阅读它们)”可知，许多父母没有读完育儿书籍是因为他们缺乏时间和精力。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Hello, Cruel World!: Science-based strategies for raising terrific kids in terrifying times is designed as a research-backed guide to help parents equip their children with the tools they need to succeed.(Hello, Cruel World!: Science-based strategies for raising terrific kids in terrifying times是一本以科学研究为支撑的育儿指南，旨在帮助父母为孩子提供成功所需的工具)”可知，Hello, Cruel World!这本书的特点是以科学研究为支撑，故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Parents should respond with empathy (同理心) and support rather than criticism.(父母应该用同理心和支持来回应，而不是批评)”可知，当孩子在研究昆虫时，父母应该鼓励他们的好奇心。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“If this sounds like you, the latest book by Melinda Wenner Moyer should be top of your list. Hello, Cruel World!: Science-based strategies for raising terrific kids in terrifying times is designed as a research-backed guide to help parents equip their children with the tools they need to succeed. The chapters of this book are short and readable, broken down into bite-sized sections, each giving you one piece of advice and the science to back it up. Moyer shows a lot of understanding and can help you take a kid’s-eye view on even their most annoying behaviors.(如果你也有同感，那么Melinda Wenner Moyer的新书应该成为你的首选。她的新书Hello, Cruel World!: Science-based strategies for raising terrific kids in terrifying times是一本以科学研究为支撑的育儿指南，旨在帮助父母为孩子提供成功所需的工具。这本书的章节简短易读，被拆分成一个个小版块，每个版块给出一条建议，并附上科学依据。莫耶非常善解人意，能让你从孩子的角度看待他们那些最令人恼火的行为)”可知，本文主要介绍了Melinda Wenner Moyer的新书Hello, Cruel World!: Science-based strategies for raising terrific kids in terrifying times，因此是一篇书评，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。 I started playing hockey (冰球) at the tender young age of 50, because both my 8-year-old and 4-year-old sons wanted to play. When I later became an assistant coach, I realized I knew very little about the game (my hockey skills were even worse). I had skated on ponds as a kid and could go forward, but had little ability to turn or go backwards. ____16____ But once each reached the 4th grade, their skills quickly surpassed (超过) mine! This made me realize that ice hockey was not just a game for kids; it was a sport that could be enjoyed and improved upon at any age. ____17____ They went with their age group, while I skated with the men’s group, who, like me, wanted to get better. In high school, my sons got much better, and one even made All State for his final two years. ____18____ But I still really loved the sport. I also needed to find a year-round form of good exercise and, even better, a sense of trust and friendship. Little did I know that playing hockey would allow me to make contacts across a variety of business enterprises, some that have helped me professionally in my own business, but also personally with my neighbors and service providers, such as contractors and electricians. ____19____ I’ve also become involved in helping to run a charity event that involves setting up a men’s competition to play in Madison Square Garden — a great opportunity to give back to the community. ____20____ A. As my sons got better, so did I. B. We often watched hockey on weekends at home. C. Every summer, we went to hockey camps in Canada. D. I had to give up my job to play hockey with my sons. E. Additionally, I’ve made connections with those in public service. F. In contrast, there is no room for further development of my ability. G. All of this has been made possible because of my involvement in the game of hockey. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. F 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者50岁时因儿子们想打冰球而开始接触冰球，后来成为助理教练，虽自身技能曾落后，但仍热爱这项运动，还通过冰球收获了人脉、助力事业并参与慈善的故事。 【16题详解】 上文“When I later became an assistant coach, I realized I knew very little about the game (my hockey skills were even worse). I had skated on ponds as a kid and could go forward, but had little ability to turn or go backwards. (当我后来成为一名助理教练时，我意识到我对这项运动知之甚少(我的冰球技术更差)。我小时候在池塘上滑过冰，能向前滑，但几乎没有转弯或向后滑的能力)”描述了作者最初的冰球技术不好，下文“But once each reached the 4th grade, their skills quickly surpassed (超过) mine! (但当每个孩子都上了四年级后，他们的技能很快就超过了我!)”转折提到孩子技能超过作者。A选项“As my sons got better, so did I. (随着我的儿子们变得更好，我也一样)”承上启下，既衔接上文作者与儿子们一起接触冰球的背景，又为下文儿子技能超过作者做铺垫，符合上下文逻辑。故选A项。 【17题详解】 下文“They went with their age group, while I skated with the men’s group, who, like me, wanted to get better. (他们和同龄人一起，而我则和男子组一起滑冰，这些人和我一样，都想变得更好)”描述了作者和儿子们分别与不同人群一起滑冰的情况。C选项“Every summer, we went to hockey camps in Canada. (每年夏天，我们都会去加拿大的冰球夏令营)”提出“去冰球夏令营”这一活动场景，为下文“分别和不同人群滑冰”提供了具体情境，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。 【18题详解】 上文“In high school, my sons got much better, and one even made All State for his final two years. (在高中时，我的儿子们进步更大，其中一个在最后两年甚至入选了全州最佳阵容)”讲述儿子们冰球技能出色，下文“But I still really loved the sport. (但我仍然非常热爱这项运动)”转折体现作者对冰球的热爱。F选项“In contrast, there is no room for further development of my ability. (相比之下，我的能力已经没有进一步发展的空间了)”通过“in contrast”与上文儿子们的出色形成对比，突出作者自身能力的局限，同时与下文的转折“但仍热爱”衔接自然，符合逻辑。故选F项。 【19题详解】 上文“Little did I know that playing hockey would allow me to make contacts across a variety of business enterprises, some that have helped me professionally in my own business, but also personally with my neighbors and service providers, such as contractors and electricians. (我当时根本不知道，打冰球能让我结识各行各业的人，有些在事业上对我的生意有帮助，有些则在私人生活上帮助我，比如邻居和服务提供者，像承包商和电工)”介绍了作者通过冰球结识的不同领域的人。E选项“Additionally, I’ve made connections with those in public service. (此外，我还与公共服务领域的人建立了联系)”中的“Additionally”承接上文，进一步补充作者通过冰球拓展的人脉范围，与上文“结识各行各业的人”相呼应，语意连贯。故选E项。 【20题详解】 上文“Little did I know that playing hockey would allow me to make contacts across a variety of business enterprises, some that have helped me professionally in my own business, but also personally with my neighbors and service providers, such as contractors and electricians. (我当时根本不知道，打冰球能让我结识各行各业的人，有些在事业上对我的生意有帮助，有些则在私人生活上帮助我，比如邻居和服务提供者，像承包商和电工)”和“I’ve also become involved in helping to run a charity event that involves setting up a men’s competition to play in Madison Square Garden — a great opportunity to give back to the community.(我还参与了一项慈善活动，包括在麦迪逊广场花园举办男子比赛——这是一个回报社区的好机会)”讲述了作者通过冰球收获人脉、助力事业以及参与慈善活动，G选项“All of this has been made possible because of my involvement in the game of hockey. (所有这一切之所以成为可能，都是因为我参与了冰球这项运动)”总结上文，点明这些成果的原因是参与冰球运动，且句中的“All of this”指代上文提到的“收获人脉、助力事业、参与慈善”等所有成果，上下文逻辑连贯。故选G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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Financial expert Dave Ramsey has got nothing on my grandmother!

Upon finding a pattern on a rock, the team ____36____ (immediate) photographed and recorded its location. “This field survey not only ____37____ (assess) the preservation status of previously discovered rock carvings but also helps identify and document new ones,” says Xu, ____38____works with the city’s Helan Mountain rock art administration. He explains that the work lays the groundwork for ____39____ (subsequence) digital archiving (存档) and protection efforts. ____40____ (stretch) 250 kilometers, Helan Mountain is home to more than 20,000 ancient rock carvings created by early people with stones and metal tools.

Stretching 41. the 42. to 43. Launched 44. events 45. engagement 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了贺兰山岩画的相关情况，包括对岩画的实地考察工作及其意义，贺兰山岩画的规模、历史、内容，以及围绕岩画开展的后续活动和带来的影响。 【36题详解】 考查副词。句意：一发现岩石上有图案，团队就立即拍摄并记录其位置。此空用于修饰动词“photographed and recorded”，需用副词形式。“immediate”的副词形式为“immediately”，表示“立即，马上”。故填immediately。 【37题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：“这次实地调查不仅评估了先前发现的岩画的保存状况，还有助于识别和记录新的岩画，”在该市贺兰山岩画管理部门工作的徐说。句子的主语是“This field survey”，为第三人称单数。根据后文“helps”以及整个句子描述的是一般性事实，可知时态为一般现在时，所以谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式。“assess”的第三人称单数形式是“assesses”。故填assesses。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：“这次实地调查不仅评估了先前发现的岩画的保存状况，还有助于识别和记录新的岩画，”在该市贺兰山岩画管理部门工作的徐说。“____3____ works with the city’s Helan Mountain rock art administration”为非限制性定语从句，用来修饰先行词“Xu”，先行词指人，且在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词“who”引导该定语从句。故填who。 【39题详解】 考查形容词。句意：他解释说，这项工作为随后的数字存档和保护工作奠定了基础。这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词短语“digital archiving (存档)and protection efforts”，“subsequence”是名词，其形容词形式为“subsequent”，意思是“随后的，后来的”，符合语境。故填subsequent。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：贺兰山绵延250公里，是早期人类用石头和金属工具创作的两万多幅古代岩画的家园。句中已有谓语动词“is”，所以此空应填非谓语动词。“stretch”与主语“Helan Mountain”之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词“stretching”作状语，首字母大写。故填Stretching。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：这些岩画可追溯到大约1万至3000年前，描绘了从人脸、动物和手印等自然图像到狩猎和仪式等古代生活场景的各种主题。此处特指前文提到的贺兰山的“ancient rock carvings”，表示特定的事物，所以用定冠词“the”。故填the。 【42题详解】 考查介词。句意：这些岩画可追溯到大约1万至3000年前，描绘了从人脸、动物和手印等自然图像到狩猎和仪式等古代生活场景的各种主题。“from...to...”是固定搭配，意思是“从……到……”，用于表示范围，这里表示岩画描绘的主题范围从自然图像到古代生活场景。故填to。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：作为2000 -2003年调查的后续，这项调查于2020年启动，覆盖了贺兰山岩画遗址公园及其周边超过12平方公里的区域。句中已有谓语动词“covered”，所以此空需填非谓语动词。“this survey”与“launch”之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词“Launched”作状语，表被动和完成，首字母大写。故填Launched。 【44题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：导游服务、文化活动和创意产品提高了公众的参与度，去年该公园吸引了90万游客。“event”是可数名词，根据语境可知，这里提到的文化活动不止一项，所以要用复数形式“events”作主语。故填events。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：导游服务、文化活动和创意产品提高了公众的参与度，去年该公园吸引了90万游客。根据空前的形容词“public”可知，此空应填名词。“engage”是动词，其名词形式为“engagement”，意为“参与，参与度”，作宾语。故填engagement。 第四部分 写作 （共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （满分15分） 46. 假定你是校英文广播站负责人李华，外教Emma两周前答应为你校“世界文化周”录制一段介绍英国传统节日的音频（audio）。请你给 Emma写一封邮件，内容包括： 1.询问录制进度； 2.提醒提交日期。 注意：1.写作词数应为 80 左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Emma, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Emma, I hope this email finds you well.

That is why I find myself on a facial recognition website looking for a bus driver I met when I was 14. My mother and I had come to Los Angeles for vacation. This was the first time I’d ever left Texas, and the first time I’d been on an airplane. I don’t recall the tour, but I remember the guide and the bus driver, John. He told great stories and, most of all, he noticed me. John talked to me as if I was my own person, not just some star-eyed kid from a small town, but a human with thoughts and ideas of her own. When I asked a question, he gave me a real answer — more than an answer, an elaboration (阐述). I don’t recall how we started talking. Maybe John asked what I liked, and I said music. Before this trip, I was shy and quiet. I was bad at sports, an average student, but good at French horn (圆号). Still, I didn’t see a clear future. Throughout the tour, John talked to me about my musical interests and told me about the paths and possibilities I hadn’t yet been able to see. If I enjoyed playing music enough to want to do it all the time, then why didn’t I just do that? It had never occurred to me, this sense of huge possibility, that I could just do whatever I wanted. When the tour ended, John and I stood outside the bus and took a picture with my camera. At home, I put that little photo in a prime spot on my wall. It encouraged me to pursue my dream. I got into music school and music ultimately became my path. Twenty years later, I was talking with my friend when the memory of John and that bus tour came out of the back of my mind. “The man literally changed the course of my life,” I said. “I’ve always wanted to find him.” “You’d better get on it, then,” my friend laughed. 注意：1.续写词数应为 150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Later that week, I found a facial recognition website and uploaded my photo. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We arranged to meet, and when we finally did, it was like no time had passed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Later that week, I found a facial recognition website and uploaded my photo. Then a possible match popped up. To my immense joy, it was indeed John! There was his familiar smile, just as I remembered it. I quickly sent him a message, introducing myself and expressing my deep gratitude for the impact he had made on my life. To my surprise, he replied almost immediately, saying he was thrilled to hear from me and that he had always remembered that little girl with a passion for music. We arranged to meet, and when we finally did, it was like no time had passed. As soon as our eyes met, we both burst into laughter. We sat down at a cozy café, chatting away like old friends. John listened intently as I told him about my music career and the challenges I had faced along the way. He nodded with understanding and offered words of wisdom and encouragement. I realized then that John was one of those special people who had left an indelible mark on my heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者回忆14岁第一次离开德州到洛杉矶旅行时，遇到一位名叫John的巴士司机。John真诚地与当时害羞内向的作者交谈，鼓励她追随音乐梦想，让她第一次意识到“可以随心所欲做自己想做的事”。这次短暂的相遇改变了作者的人生轨迹——她最终考入音乐学院，走上音乐道路。二十年后，作者仍心怀感激，决心通过网络寻找这位曾经点燃她梦想的陌生人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那周晚些时候，我找到了一个面部识别网站，上传了我的照片。”可知，第一段可描写作者通过人脸识别网站成功找到John，并与他重新取得联系、互致谢意的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们约好见面，当我们终于见面的时候，时间就像没有流逝一样。”可知，第二段可描写作者与John在多年后如约重逢、一见如故的温馨场景与深情感悟。 2.续写线索：John出现——发信息——John回复——聊天——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出现：pop up/spring up ②回复：reply/respond ③聊天：chat/talk 情绪类 ①高兴：joy/delight ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】[高分句型1] I quickly sent him a message, introducing myself and expressing my deep gratitude for the impact he had made on my life .(由现在分词作状语和that/which引导的限制性定语从句，省略了that/which) [高分句型2] John listened intently as I told him about my music career and the challenges I had faced along the way.

B While most children struggle to form full sentences until they’re three or four, three-year-old Master Caleb Stewart was delivering speeches with more enthusiasm than a TED Talk. Now eleven years old, Caleb became the youngest motivational speaker (male) at the age of three, when he gave his first speech on the importance of self-belief. It was at the ALARM International Church in Tallahassee, and the young Master of Reading remembers his first speech fondly: “Everyone stood up for me and I felt proud of myself. It felt really good to see how I made an impact and inspired everyone.” Ever since that first experience, Caleb has continued to speak to schools, churches, and community leaders about topics ranging from dreaming big and believing in yourself to the importance of literacy and reading fluency. He made his second speech at Raa Middle School where, as a keynote speaker at a teacher training event, he stood on a table and spoke to the staff about the benefits of reading and having big dreams. A video of this speech became popular. Caleb writes his own speeches by picking a topic, breaking his thoughts into sections, and then putting them together to study. His key recommendations for a great speech are: “Be confident, be calm, and if you mess up, keep going. Speak loud and clear.” He is a passionate reader who, in his own words, “reads at every opportunity he gets”. When he was seven years old, after reading an article highlighting the lack of reading proficiency (能力) among today’s children, he decided that he wanted to help them improve their skills. So, he set up the Master Caleb’s Discovery Library—a non-profit library through which he donates books from his personal collection, along with other learning materials, to kids in his community. For Caleb, it’s always been a family affair—his passion for motivational speaking is not only supported but also greatly inspired by those closest to him. His favorite speaker to listen to is his uncle, while his grandmother inspires him the most and assists with his motivational speaking and academic growth. 4. What was the topic of Caleb’s first speech? A The benefits of reading books. B. The tips on writing a good speech. C. The necessity of dreaming big. D. The significance of believing in oneself. 5. What can be inferred about Caleb’s second speech at Raa Middle School? A. It was delivered in an informal manner. B. It was poorly received by the audience. C. It was recorded and gained wide attention. D. It focused mainly on academic performance. 6. Why did Caleb set up the Master Caleb’s Discovery Library? A. To enhance kids’ reading skills. B. To compete with other libraries. C. To earn money by selling books. D. To follow his uncle’s career path. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The influence of family on a child’s growth. B. The challenges of early childhood education. C. The journey of a young motivational speaker. D. The importance of speaking skills in society. C Sea turtles (海龟) have been around since the time of the dinosaurs, having survived multiple extinction events over 100 million years. But the serious effects of human activity have caused rapid population decline, and now six of the seven sea turtle species are considered threatened. There are signs of hope through the hard work of conservationists and community-based organizations around the world. It’s what has made Trinidad and Tobago — a two-island nation — one of the most important leatherback (棱皮龟) nesting sites. Each season, the islands’ conservation teams depend on visitors to help give these creatures a fighting chance against the many threats to their survival — including habitat destruction, climate change-caused reproductive issues, and bycatch offshore. The turtle-watching tours they run provide vital revenue to fund monitoring and conservation efforts; and volunteers — including travelers from overseas — power that work in the field. “The number of leatherbacks nesting there — it’s almost like a mass nesting event,” says Vanessa Bezy, a wildlife conservationist from the U.S. who is working to protect sea turtles in Costa Rica. “Where I am, leatherbacks are critically endangered. I think there’s only a couple hundred left in this part of the Pacific.” Volunteers are responsible for making Trinidad and Tobago’s humble turtle conservation a success story worldwide. They spend untold hours tagging (标记), counting, and measuring nesting mothers; monitoring and sometimes even relocating nests; and helping safeguard the turtles from natural enemies and threats. Their hard work has caused the illegal hunting of leatherbacks and taking of their eggs to fall to near zero. That work began in 1965 through the cooperation between the University of the West Indies and the Trinidad and Tobago Field Naturalists’ Club. In 1989, the nation’s Forestry Division developed a co-management partnership with the rural communities where turtles nest, helping them grow to lead the conservation effort in the decades that followed. Today, twenty-eight of these groups form the Turtle Village Trust. 8. What is stated about sea turtles in paragraph 1? A. They have increased greatly. B. Most of them are threatened. C. They live mainly on the island. D. Their habitats remain unaffected. 9. What does the underlined word “revenue” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Data. B. Support. C. Advice. D. Income. 10. Which of the following best describes volunteers’ work? A. Debatable. B. Fruitful. C. Temporary. D. Simple. 11. What is a result of the cooperation in conserving sea turtles? A. Costs are largely reduced. B. More groups are established. C. Illegal hunters are punished. D. Rural communities take the lead. D The unfortunate thing about parenting books is that, in my experience, once you become a parent you are too time-poor and tired to read them. As a result, my bedside table is filled with parenting books of which I’ve read the first five pages a dozen times before passing out. If this sounds like you, the latest book by Melinda Wenner Moyer should be top of your list. Hello, Cruel World!: Science-based strategies for raising terrific kids in terrifying times is designed as a research-backed guide to help parents equip their children with the tools they need to succeed. The chapters of this book are short and readable, broken down into bite-sized sections, each giving you one piece of advice and the science to back it up. Moyer shows a lot of understanding and can help you take a kid’s-eye view on even their most annoying behaviors. How can we get children to be more open, fair-minded and willing to consider other viewpoints? One way is to encourage curiosity and uncertainty from a young age. Children, as we know, are like young scientists. “One of their most important jobs is to make sense of the world around them,” writes Moyer. This curiosity can often conflict with an adult’s desire to get things done. “When you ask your children to clean their room, then find them thirty minutes later studying an insect in the bathroom…it’s easy to dismiss their behavior as disobedience (不服从).” Their seemingly distracted (分心的) behavior is actually a natural part of their learning process. Parents should respond with empathy (同理心) and support rather than criticism. The book also addresses important issues like the impact of technology on children. Moyer challenges common misconceptions and provides practical advice on when and how to introduce mobile phones and social media to kids. Her insights help parents deal with these complex topics with a balanced and informed opinion. 12. Why do many parents fail to finish reading parenting books? A. They lack time and energy. B.

When I later became an assistant coach, I realized I knew very little about the game (my hockey skills were even worse). I had skated on ponds as a kid and could go forward, but had little ability to turn or go backwards. ____16____ But once each reached the 4th grade, their skills quickly surpassed (超过) mine! This made me realize that ice hockey was not just a game for kids; it was a sport that could be enjoyed and improved upon at any age. ____17____ They went with their age group, while I skated with the men’s group, who, like me, wanted to get better.

I also needed to find a year-round form of good exercise and, even better, a sense of trust and friendship. Little did I know that playing hockey would allow me to make contacts across a variety of business enterprises, some that have helped me professionally in my own business, but also personally with my neighbors and service providers, such as contractors and electricians. ____19____ I’ve also become involved in helping to run a charity event that involves setting up a men’s competition to play in Madison Square Garden — a great opportunity to give back to the community. ____20____ A.

That is why I find myself on a facial recognition website looking for a bus driver I met when I was 14. My mother and I had come to Los Angeles for vacation. This was the first time I’d ever left Texas, and the first time I’d been on an airplane. I don’t recall the tour, but I remember the guide and the bus driver, John. He told great stories and, most of all, he noticed me. John talked to me as if I was my own person, not just some star-eyed kid from a small town, but a human with thoughts and ideas of her own. When I asked a question, he gave me a real answer — more than an answer, an elaboration (阐述). I don’t recall how we started talking. Maybe John asked what I liked, and I said music. Before this trip, I was shy and quiet. I was bad at sports, an average student, but good at French horn (圆号). Still, I didn’t see a clear future. Throughout the tour, John talked to me about my musical interests and told me about the paths and possibilities I hadn’t yet been able to see. If I enjoyed playing music enough to want to do it all the time, then why didn’t I just do that? It had never occurred to me, this sense of huge possibility, that I could just do whatever I wanted. When the tour ended, John and I stood outside the bus and took a picture with my camera. At home, I put that little photo in a prime spot on my wall. It encouraged me to pursue my dream. I got into music school and music ultimately became my path. Twenty years later, I was talking with my friend when the memory of John and that bus tour came out of the back of my mind. “The man literally changed the course of my life,” I said. “I’ve always wanted to find him.” “You’d better get on it, then,” my friend laughed. 注意：1.续写词数应为 150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Later that week, I found a facial recognition website and uploaded my photo. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We arranged to meet, and when we finally did, it was like no time had passed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
