It was one of the most 1 and tiring games I’ve ever had. When Ed first phoned and suggested we play, I laughed quietly, figuring on an 2 victory. After all, Ed’s idea of 3 has always been nothing more effort-making than lifting a fork to his mouth. As far as I can remember, Ed’s been the least physically fit member in the family, and 4 proud of himself. His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers. Although the family often 5 about that, Ed refused to buy a larger T-shirt or to lose weight. So when Ed arrived for our game not only with the bottom of his shirt gathered inside his trousers but also with a stomach you could hardly 6 ,  I was so surprised that I was speechless. My cousin must have made an effort to get himself into shape. 7 , at the point in our game when I’d have predicted the score to be about 9 to 1 in my favor, it was instead 7 to 9—and Ed was 8 . The sudden realization was painful. We continued to play like two mad men. When the score was 16 up, I was having serious 9 about staying alive until 21 years old, let alone scoring that many points. When the game finally ended, both of us were lying flat on our backs, too tired to move. In a way, I think we both won: I the game, but cousin Ed my 10 . 1.

B Personal growth is the positive development of your skills, knowledge, wisdom and characteristics.

Then they have a holiday. Let’s read about some harvest celebrations! Every February, the people of Mendoza, Argentina, harvest their grapes. Then they celebrate for a month! There are parades (游行), shows, and fireworks. They always choose a Harvest Queen, too. Chanthaburi, a town in Thailand, is famous for its tasty fruit. People celebrate the fruit at harvest time in May. The Fruit Fair begins with a parade of floats (游行彩车) made from thousands of fruits and vegetables. The Argungu Fishing Festival began in 1934 in Nigeria, a country in Africa. It’s a four-day festival held at the end of February to celebrate the end of all farming activities. On the last day there’s a fishing contest. People have one hour to catch the largest fish. But it’s not that easy. They can only use traditional fishing tools. But many use only their hands to catch the fish. France’s famous Menton Lemon Festival starts in February. There are big parades with floats decorated with lemons and oranges. More than 200, 000 people from around the world come to Menton for this festival. 21. Which of the following is celebrated in May? A. The Harvest Festival in Chanthaburi. B. The Harvest Festival in Mendoza. C. The Argungu Fishing Festival. D. The Menton Lemon Festival. 22. What can be seen in the Menton Lemon Festival? A. The Fruit Fair. B. The big parades. C. A fishing contest. D. A Harvest Queen. 23. In which section of a newspaper may readers find this passage? A. Sport. B. Business. C. Science. D. Culture. B At 17 years old, most are still learning basic driving skills in America. Once the car is parked, the day is packed with school activities and hanging out with friends. But at 17, Maggie Taraska had a distinctive goal in mind: Fly alone across the United States. Both of Maggie’s parents were retired from the air force, so the urge to fly is in Maggie’s blood. She went to flight school, put in the hours with an instructor and started on her training hours. But on her first takeoff, something didn’t sound right. The plane had lost one of the landing gear wheels. “As soon as I took off, I just heard something was wrong instinctively.” said Maggie. Her instructor talked to her from the ground while she circled a few times to gather herself. “I was frightened, thinking about all the bad things that could have happened; I was thinking about how my parents were on the ground as I knew they were watching.” Stress and panic can cause any of us to make careless decisions. It takes mental practice to calm down. “Take a few breaths, focus on the moment and follow the plan. I panicked a bit, but followed my training.” Maggie was a little shaky as she talked to the tower, but she had a perfect belly landing that skidded on the infield grass. Her father couldn’t be prouder. “By the time I saw Maggie on her approach, it was a better approach than I could have flown,” he said. Cheers erupted in the tower, and Maggie took a deep breath and climbed out of the plane. Credit does go to the crew for talking to her. Yes, we all need someone to talk us through challenging times, but in the end, it was all Maggie at the controls. We could all be forgiven for calling it quits after an experience like that. After all, it was a bit distressing. So walking away would be understandable. But five days later, Maggie was going through her pre-flight safety inspections, checking the wings, especially checking the landing gear. “It feels amazing,” she said, “It gives an incredible sense of liberation.” At some point in our lives, we will all be in a situation for the first time. It’s scary. But if you face your fears, the whole world opens up to you. 24. Maggie’s urge to fly alone was mainly influenced by ______. A. her parents’ background in air force B. her experience of school activities C. her instructor’s encouragements D. her basic driving skills 25. When Maggie heard something wrong during takeoff, she ______. A. landed the plane immediately B. thought of her parents’ expectation C. circled a few times to calm herself down D. continued flying as if nothing had happened 26. Which words would best describe Maggie’s personality? A. Proud and intelligent. B. Positive and cautious. C. Patient and responsible. D. Fearless and determined. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. A good beginning is half done. C. Fortune favors the brave. D. Practice makes perfect. C What does it mean to live a good life? This question has been debated for centuries. In the field of psychology, two main concepts of the good life have been quite popular: A happy life full of pleasure and positive emotions, and a meaningful life full of purpose and sacrifice. But what if these aren’t the only options? In recent years, a long-neglected version of the good life has been receiving greater attention: the psychologically rich life. It is full of complex mental engagement, a wide range of intense and deep emotions, and diverse, novel, surprising and interesting experiences. Sometimes they are neither pleasant nor meaningful. However, they are rarely boring or monotonous (单调的). After all, both happy and meaningful lives can become monotonous and repetitive. A person with a steady office job, married with children, may be satisfied and find his or her life meaningful and still be bored. Also, the psychologically rich life doesn’t necessarily involve economic richness. For instance, consider Hesse’s character Goldmund, who has no money but pursues the life of a free spirit. Research has found psychological richness is related to, but partially distinct from, both happy and meaningful lives. Psychological richness is related with openness to experience and experiencing both positive and negative emotions more intensely. But is the psychologically rich life one that people actually want? In a new study, Oishi and his colleagues asked people in nine countries the degree to which they value a psychologically rich life, a happy life and a meaningful life. They found many people’s self-described ideal lives involve psychological richness. When forced to choose a life, however, the majority chose a happy life and a meaningful life. Even so, a minority of people still favored the psychologically rich life, ranging from 6.7% in Singapore to 16.8% in Germany. These numbers went up when the desire for a psychologically rich life was measured indirectly. To understand what a person wishes their lives might have been, it is important to explore what people wish they had avoided in their lives. When asked what they regret most and whether undoing this event would have made their lives happier, more meaningful or psychologically richer, about 28% of Americans said undoing the regrettable event would have made their lives psychologically richer. These findings suggest that while most people strive to be happy and have meaning in their lives, a sizable number of people are content merely living a psychologically rich existence. As Oishi and his colleagues conclude, “We believe that taking the psychologically rich life seriously will deepen and enrich our understanding of well-being.” At the end of the day, there is no one singularly acceptable path to the good life. You have to find a path that works best for you. 28. According to the passage, the psychologically rich life ______. A. means living a luxurious life B. combines pleasure with purpose C. involves various intense emotions D. emphasizes openness and repetition 29. We can learn from the passage that ______. A. purpose outweighs pleasure in terms of significance B. the choice of a good life differs from person to person C. a positive mindset helps us understand our well-being D. we should never be content and always strive for the best 30. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To compare different concepts of a good life. B. To explain how to live a psychologically rich life. C. To persuade people to attain psychological richness. D. To draw attention to a less familiar version of a good life. D Psychologists tell us our self-image defines what we believe we can and cannot do. Each of us over the years has built up belief about ourselves: Unconsciously, our pictures of who we are have been formed by past experiences. Our successes and failures, what others have told us and what we think people believe about us all help form impressions of what we think we are. Because self-image is so important in our growth, it is important to examine our concepts of self in order to reach our full potential. Changing our self-image is possible: Some psychologists suggest we begin to change our self-image by mentally picturing ourselves performing well at some task. Since we presently react to things based on our present images, it’s suggested that we replace those with better ones. In many experiments, people were asked to sit quietly for a few minutes each day and imagine themselves doing well. For instance, subjects would sit and imagine themselves throwing darts at a bull’s-eye on a target. Over a period of weeks, their dart game improved. The point of changing self-image is not to develop an image of ourselves that is not real. To try to become something we really aren’t is just as wrong as living the unrealistic, inferior image we may have. The aim is to find the real self, to bring our mental images of ourselves in line with our true potential. However, it is generally accepted among psychologists that most of us fail to do justice to ourselves. We’re usually better than we think we are. Another important part of changing self-image is to not think about past mistakes. Don’t let failures do harm. Our errors or humiliation over mistakes are necessary steps in learning. It is all right to make mistakes. But when they have taught us what we did wrong, we should forget them and not think about them repeatedly. Sometimes we keep remembering our failures or mistakes and feel guilty or embarrassed about them. We let them take over, and then we develop a fear. It is important to have realistic expectations of ourselves. Some of our dissatisfaction might come from expecting too much of ourselves. If we demand constant perfection in everything we do, we can be disappointed and our poor self-image will continue. If our goal is to reach perfection, we are destined to fail from the start. 31. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To confirm the effect of changing self-image. B. To clarify the principle of changing self-image. C. To propose a new view on changing self-image. D. To stress the importance of changing self-image. 32. According to the author, how should we regard our past mistakes? A. They are part of our growth. B. They are warnings for future. C. They are tools for overcoming fear. D. They are barriers to our development. 33. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A. We Are What We Do B. Be the Best We Can Be C. We Are What We Think We Are D. What We Are Decides What We Think 34. Which situation agrees with the idea of the passage? A. To outshine his colleagues, Joe sets an idealistic goal. B. To get along with her classmates, Doris always humbles herself. C. To become a star player, Alex repeatedly plays back his faults in his mind. D. To win a speech contest, Tina visualizes herself speaking more confidently. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Discovering Your True Self Is Vital to Happiness! Have you found focusing on yourself is at the bottom of the to-do list, because you feel everyone else in your life comes first? 35 Now is exactly the perfect time to get to know yourself in order to understand yourself. This isn’t just about identifying your favorite outfit, haircut or flavor of ice cream. 36 It’s an opportunity for personal growth that can help you make better choices for your wellbeing and lifelong happiness. There are many tools to help you develop a deeper sense of yourself, including journaling and other forms of creative expression. You can use a guided journal to explore your thoughts and feelings or just free write whatever comes to mind. It’s up to you what you want to do. 37 38 Take note of how you respond to people, what makes you happy, and what makes you unhappy. This can help you identify patterns that are holding you back, such as feeling insecure or being easily angered. Once you’ve identified these patterns, you can work to change them. An often overlooked yet very important factor in self-discovery is having healthy boundaries in your personal life. 39 Clearly communicating your boundaries is also a way to show others that you are in control of your own behavior and can expect the same from them. This is a sign of maturity and respect, two characteristics that are key to having healthy relationships. A. It’s one thing to know your personal type. B. It’s a great way to show that you care about others. C. Taking time for ourselves has been looked down upon. D. Another way is to observe your behavior in different situations. E. It allows you to focus on the needs of yourself without ignoring others. F. But try not to get caught up in the criticism or judgment of your writing. G. It’s about understanding your inner world and how you fit into the outer world. 四、书面表达（共5小题；共32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 My First Semester Away: Navigating Discomfort in a New World Stepping off the plane with a suitcase stuffed with winter clothes and a head full of expectations, I thought studying in the U.S. would be a smooth journey of self-discovery. Three weeks later, I sat in my dorm room, staring at an unopened bank form, and realized adaptation was harder than any textbook chapter I’d ever tackled. The first challenge came from daily life. Opening a bank account turned into a two-hour ordeal (磨难)—YouTube tutorials couldn’t translate terms like “overdraft fee,” and the teller’s rapid accent left me nodding blankly. Even meals felt alien: the cafeteria’s cold salads and iced water clashed (冲突) with my habit of warm, cooked vegetables, so I joined other Asian students in boiling lettuce in a shared pot, a small rebellion against the unfamiliar. Academic adaptation brought another set of challenges: professors expected us to interrupt with questions, and “critical thinking” meant arguing against theories instead of memorizing them—a skill I’d never practiced. I left my first essay feedback session in confusion, staring at comments like “lack of analysis.” Loneliness crept in fastest. My roommates were also international students, but language barriers and cultural gaps limited how much we could help each other. I’d scroll through photos of old friends gathering for dinner and feel a sharp pang of homesickness. Change began when I stopped waiting for comfort to find me. I joined a photography club, and through shared shots of campus sunsets, I bonded with a girl who’d once struggled with the same banking forms. In class, I started raising my hand with simple questions, and soon found professors appreciated the effort more than perfect English. Now, six months later, I still burn my coffee sometimes. But the bank form is filled out, I’ve learned to ask for “hot water, please,” and my last essay got a “good analysis” note. Adaptation isn’t about erasing the old to fit the new—it’s about stitching (缝合) the familiar into the foreign, one small win at a time. 40. What were the two aspects of the challenges the author faced? 41. What made it difficult for the author to get along with the roommates? 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. · Six months later, I gradually adapt to the new environment and forget the old one. 43. List one effective way to deal with the stress caused by adapting to a new environment, and explain why it is helpful.

Six months later, I gradually adapt to the new environment and forget the old one. According to the passage, the author believes adaptation isn’t about erasing the old to fit the new—it’s about stitching the familiar into the foreign. 43. Sample 1 (I think) joining a club or workshop based on my hobbies is helpful. This gives me immediate social connection and shared joy, which directly helps me cope with loneliness and creates positive experiences in the new environment. Sample 2 In my opinion, seeking professional help from teachers or parents is helpful. That’s because their professional advice and structured support can offer me clear solutions and ease my anxiety of navigating unfamiliar situations alone. 44. As a student, I deeply believe sports are the golden key to a healthy life. Regular exercise not only strengthens our bodies but also sharpens our minds, helping us reduce stress and stay energetic for studies. For students, I suggest that we take 30-minute daily activities like jogging or playing Ping-Pong; it is also a good idea to replace screen time with team sports such as basketball to build friendships. During the break, using school playgrounds creatively for fun workouts is a good choice, too. Remember, consistency matters more than intensity. Let’s all embrace the spirit of sports—not merely as a duty, but as a joyful journey of self-discovery. Together, we can build a healthier China. (117 words) 1 第 1 页 共 2 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
