Those two minutes turned into two hours, with no 18 at all. As we were ready to give up, my little sister Indi and brother Tex showed up. “How come you have a large trunk?” asked Tex. “It looks like an upside-down boat!” said Indi. “Can we turn it over and pretend (假装) we are 19 in the sea?” “Sure,” Ollie replied. “It’s no good for anything else.” When Tex and Indi were jumping up and down on the “boat”, a screw (螺丝钉) fell onto the floor. “That’s it!” said Ollie. “Instead of unlocking the trunk, we can remove (移除) the screws to 20 it!” After two minutes, we were looking inside that trunk and found a number of shoes. As you can imagine, we were pretty disappointed (失望的). But here’s the good 21 . Those shoes were in such great condition that most of them 22 up going to the charity sale.

C One day, my friend Mareya called. “Nora, I will travel to Hawaii. There will be beaches, sandcastles…” she said. Her words made me have a strange feeling. I was happy for her but envied her a little. “Oh, well,” I thought, “I will have a hiking trip with Olivia. That will also be very interesting.” Later that day, I learnt Olivia would visit her uncle’s new beach house. So we had to put off our hiking trip. “I’m really sorry. But you understand, right?” she said. “Oh, sure,” I said. I tried to push the corners of my mouth into a smile, but inside, my heart was sinking. At that time, I saw Mrs. Daisy in her garden. I offered to help her water the flowers in the hope of taking my mind off unpleasant feelings. Watering the flowers made me feel good but I still couldn’t stop wishing I could also be on holiday with my friends. “Be careful!” Mrs. Daisy said. “That is a harmful plant. I’ll get it out of here.” Suddenly, I realized what I was watering. Mrs. Daisy was aware of my bad mood, smiled at me and said, “Dear Nora, plants or feelings, we should watch what we’re watering, right? If we nourish the harmful plants or bad feelings, then that’s what we have. But if we try to nourish the beautiful flowers or good feelings, then that’s what we get.” “I guess that makes sense,” I said, “but I fail to tell my mind to stop being sad.” “Just let yourself feel all of your feelings,” she said, “but after a while, you can try feeding your mind with happier thoughts. Talk to a friend, go for a run or just enjoy the beauty of a flower.” I thought Mrs. Daisy’s advice was worth trying. So I called Olivia at once. After sharing my feelings with her, I cheered up again and moreover we both agreed to have our hiking trip after she came back. —Adapted from the story by Lissa Rovetch 31．How did Nora feel when she knew about two friends’ plans?

B．Helping old people to gain wisdom. C．Ways of getting along well with friends. D．Dealing with our feelings in a proper way. D “Click, click, click...” The drummer hit the drumsticks against each other to give a beat, and the band started to play. Kai played a guqin solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums. The band played faster and faster. Kai’s classmates jumped to their feet, clapping and screaming. When the music ended, there was an awkward (尴尬的) silence. They all looked at the teachers. Mr Li asked, “What were you trying to express?” Kai murmured, “I wanted to do something different...to modernize the guqin’s sound.” “Well, it’s a good try. But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well,” said Mr Li. “The music was...We could hardly hear the guqin,” added Miss Zhou. “I’m afraid I can’t give you high marks.” “Please, can I have another chance?” begged Kai. They finally agreed. Alone in the hall later, Kai sat in his chair, feeling a little sad. “I understand what you were trying to do,” Kai looked up and saw Miss Zhou by his side. “But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.” Kai was puzzled. What did she mean? “The guqin is connected to nature. The bottom board represents the ground, and the rounded top board represents the sky. A wonderful guqin performance shows the harmony (和谐) between people and nature.” “Miss Zhou, is it fine to play the guqin with other instruments?” “Because it is so quiet,” replied Miss Zhou, “it’s usually played alone. Sometimes, it can be played with the dizi or another guqin. Every note matters. And you know, there’s Chinese philosophy (哲理) behind every form of art. That’s what makes Chinese art special. We should try hard to keep the value of traditions and connect them with modern life.” “Is it true that Confucius played the guqin?” “Exactly. Confucius believed that music was necessary for a well-rounded education. It could help a person develop his inner self.” “Can I make it modern?” Kai was wondering if he had asked a stupid question. “Ancient musicians followed traditions to show respect. To modernize it, try to find the right way to keep the value. How will you change your piece?” “I’m not sure yet,” said Kai. “But I’m going to do something different again.” That night, Kai kept thinking about the next show. “How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern touch?” he wondered. Then, he had an idea... 34．In Kai’s teachers’ eyes, he didn’t ________. A．play the drums well B．work well with others C．express personal feelings D．show the guqin’s value 35．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Miss Zhou gave her advice to Kai. b.

A．a-e-d-c-b B．e-b-d-c-a C．e-a-b-d-c D．a-b-d-e-c 36．What lesson has Kai learned from his experience? A．Strict rules will stop our creativity in music. B．Traditional instruments should be modernized. C．Creation requires us to understand the tradition first. D．The guqin is necessary for a well-rounded education. 37．What might we hear in Kai’s next show? A．Pop music in a traditional style. B．Folk music with local colour. C．Country music in a Western style. D．Rock music with drums and dizi. 四、单词拼写 (10) 38．Simon, do you know which bird stands for (和平)? 39．Take it easy.

(10) Connected to history Imagine meeting a craftsman (工匠) in his eighties, who is carving dragons on copper hotpots (铜火锅). You feel like you’ve traveled back two thousand years. That’s the charm of Shanxi in Sight, a six-episode (集) documentary that was on show in March 2025 on CCTV-2. Filmed over six months, the series explores 50 historic places across Datong, Taiyuan, and Yuncheng. It follows nearly 100 local people—from craftsmen to shopkeepers. It shows a slow and thoughtful journey to the viewers. Instead of filming old buildings as cold and empty places, the team tried to show them through the eyes of local people. “We didn’t want the buildings to feel like museums,” said director Zhou Lifen. “So we chose people living in Shanxi—shopkeepers, craftsmen, farmers—whose lives are closely connected to these old buildings. Their warmth brings history to life.” In the documentary, viewers meet an artist in Datong who is making knife-cut noodles, a sculptor who has spent thirty years recreating cave figures (人物), and a craftsman who protects swans along the Yellow River. “In today’s cultural tourism, documentaries need to do more than just tell—they need to make people think,” said Zhou Lifen. Shanxi in Sight turns the province’s popularity into lasting cultural pride and excitement for travel. When a documentary helps understand the past through the warmth of common people, it produces a strong feeling that’s truly unforgettable. As one viewer wrote online, “This isn’t just a travel show—it’s a chance to feel history in daily life.” 注：每题答案不超过6个词。 1．What type of TV programme is Shanxi in Sight? 2．What kind of journey does Shanxi in Sight show? 3．How did Shanxi in Sight team show old buildings? 4．While filming Shanxi in Sight, what else did Zhou Lifen consider besides (除了) telling? 5．How will Zhou Lifen feel when she sees the underlined review in Paragraph 4? 六、书面表达 (20) 63．在人生道路上，当我们遇到困难的时候，总有些人会帮助我们改变和成长，使我们变得更好。最近无锡教育电视台正在举办以“The Person Who Changed My Life”为主题的英文演讲比赛。假设你是无锡阳光中学李华，请你根据以下思维导图完成一篇演讲稿。 The Person Who Changed My Life Your problems?
