Attend the training session B Born on April 3, 1934, in London, England, Jane Goodall grew up in a family that nurtured her curiosity. Her father was a driver, while her mother, encouraged Jane’s love for animals. As a child, Jane dreamed of living among wild creatures in Africa, a passion fueled by her childhood fascination with a stuffed chimpanzee toy. Jane’s path to science was unconventional. Unable to afford university, she worked as a secretary and later saved money by serving as a waitress to fund her dream of traveling to Africa. In 1957, at age 23, she met famous anthropologist Louis Leakey in Kenya. Leakey, seeking someone with an “open mind and patience” to study wild chimpanzees, chose Jane despite her lack of formal training. In 1965, she earned a PhD in ethology (生态学) from Cambridge University, becoming one of the few students without an undergraduate degree to do so. In 1960, Jane arrived at Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania. Jane observed chimps using sticks to “fish” for termites (白蚁) and modifying stems to create tools — proving humans weren’t the only species capable of such behavior. She documented chimps hugging, fighting, and even waging “wars” over territory, revealing their capacity for both love and violence. By naming chimps like Flo, Fifi, and Frodo, Jane challenged the practice of numbering animals, emphasizing their unique identities. Jane’s discoveries redefined humanity’s relationship with nature. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute, which protects chimps and habitats .Her Roots & Shoots program, launched in 1991, inspires millions of students worldwide to solve environmental and humanitarian issues. Because of her contributions, she won UNESCO Peace Prize, and the 2025 U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom. Jane Goodall passed away in her sleep on October 1, 2025. Her life teaches us that curiosity, kindness, and persistence can transform the world. Her story isn’t just about chimps — it’s about recognizing our shared humanity with all living beings. As she often reminds us, “The least we can do is try.” 4. What fueled Jane Goodall’s childhood passion for living among wild creatures in Africa? A. Her father’s job as a driver. B. Her mother’s encouragement. C. Her dream of becoming a scientist. D. Her deep love for a chimpanzee toy. 5. Why did Louis Leakey choose Jane Goodall to study wild chimpanzees? A. She was very rich. B. She was famous at that time. C. She had a lot of formal training. D. She had an “open mind and patience”. 6. Which is the right order of the following events about Jane Goodall? a. She arrived at Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania. b. She met Louis Leakey in Kenya. c. She founded the Jane Goodall Institute. d. She earned a PhD in ethology from Cambridge University. A. b - a - d - c B. a - b - c - d C. b - d - a - c D. a - c - b - d 7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The awards Jane Goodall won. B. Jane Goodall’s influence on students. C. Jane Goodall’s achievements in science. D. The lessons we can learn from Jane Goodall’s life. C Peru is famously known as “Land of the Incas”. A trip to Peru has been on my wish list for quite a while. It was finally time for me to visit the country. My first day started in Lima, the capital of Peru. I met with the G Adventures representative (代表) here about the tour. G Adventures is an organization that helps you to connect with other like-minded people in small group-based travel adventures. They played a big part in helping to make Peru an unforgettable experience for me! In Lima, my representative discussed the plan of my tour, and I also had the chance to explore Lima in my own time, with many activities, including a city tour, show, biking tour, and more. Day two had me taking a flight from Lima to Cusco. Many people visit Cusco for shopping but for me, the main reason for spending a day or two in Cusco was to acclimatize (适应) to the altitude (海拔). As I’d decided to reach the wonder of Machu Picchu, acclimatizing became important to avoid altitude sickness. I was happy to spend a day exploring Cusco. Cusco was once the capital of the Inca Empire. Today, it’s famous for its artists, paintings, clothing and traditional instruments. There’s something for everyone in this city. The day finally came! Day three had me enjoying a lovely guided visit to Machu Picchu at sunrise. I had free time to explore the city on my own as well as with my guide. It was a lot to take in! I had to stop for a moment and felt the energy of such an ancient city. The history here was unbelievable and I will never forget my time here for as long as I live! 8. What can we learn about G Adventures? A. It limits tourists’ activities and travelling time. B. It provides free booking service on a biking tour. C. It personalizes worldwide tours for each traveler. D. It connects travelers with similar interests in groups. 9. Why did the author spend time in Cusco before visiting Machu Picchu? A. To purchase souvenirs for friends. B. To enjoy local cultural performances. C. To adapt to the high altitude gradually. D. To learn traditional painting techniques. 10. Which words best describe the author’s experience at Machu Picchu? A. Disappointing B. Unforgettable C. Unchangeable D. Disheartening 11. What is the writing purpose of the passage? A. To attract people to visit Peru. B. To introduce the brilliant Inca civilization. C. To share a wonderful trip to Peru. D. To encourage travelers to join G Adventure. D A new study shows that vitamin D might help people age more slowly. The research was published in a medical journal called The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Scientists found that vitamin D may protect telomeres. Telomeres are parts at the end of our DNA that get shorter as we get older. When they get too short, they can cause health problems like cancer. The study used data from a larger project called the VITAL trial. In this study, over 1,000 adults (women aged 55+ and men aged 50+) were followed for five years. Some people took 2,000 units of vitamin D and 1 gram of omega-3 every day. Others took a placebo. The scientists checked their telomere length at the beginning, after two years, and after four years. The results showed that vitamin D helped slow the shortening of telomeres. This may mean that vitamin D slows biological aging by about three years. However, omega-3 did not show any effect on telomere length. Experts say these results are interesting, but they want more research. The study was small, and it only looked at one type of cell. Scientists still do not know how this connects to real-life health outcomes. Vitamin D has other known health benefits. It can help keep bones strong, lower blood pressure, and reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease. But too much vitamin D can cause health problems, like high calcium levels or kidney issues. To get vitamin D, people can spend time in the sun, take supplements, or eat certain foods. These include fatty fish like salmon and tuna, egg yolks, and vitamin D-fortified milk. Some mushrooms and cheese also contain small amounts. Doctors say it’s best to check your vitamin D level before taking supplements. In healthy people with normal levels, extra vitamin D might not be helpful. Good sleep, exercise, a healthy diet, and not smoking are still the best ways to stay young and healthy. 12. According to the study, what may vitamin D protect? A. Omega-3 B. Bones C. Blood pressure D. Telomeres 13. What did the results of the study show about omega-3? A. It caused health problems. B. It had no effect on telomere length. C. It helped slow the shortening of telomeres. D. It slowed biological aging by about three years. 14. What is the best way to know if you need vitamin D supplements according to doctors? A. Spend more time in the sun. B. Eat more fatty fish. C. Check your vitamin D level. D. Have a healthy diet and exercise. 15. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Vitamin D: A Key Player in Slowing the Aging Clock B. Vitamin D: The Secret to Maintaining Real-life Health C. Doctors’ Tips: Stay Young with Vitamin D Supplements D. The VITAL Trial: A Deep Dive into Omega-3 and Telomeres 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 From time to time, you may experience strong emotions, disappointment, sadness, frustration, even helplessness. ____16____ Here are five ways to help you manage your strong feelings. Accept Your Feelings The first step to any change is to accept what you feel. It is okay to feel stressed; it is okay to feel nervous; and it is okay to feel as if the world is going to end. It is only a natural human response to stress, and those feelings do not define (界定) you. ____17____ Many of us do too, at various points in our lives. ____18____ If it is all too strong, just take a break from that task. For example, if you have been studying very hard for your science test but suddenly feel your heart is racing and you don’t seem to remember anything, just stop what you are doing. Go to the kitchen and have a snack. Go outside and feel the breeze. Such actions will help you clear your mind and you will feel better when you return to that task. Make a List Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed when you have too many things to do. Perhaps there are too many topics to study, or you may have a long to-do list when organising a birthday event. Writing this down is a good idea as it would help you to make the different tasks. ____19____ This gives you some structure to work with, and you will feel calmer at the end of writing the list—you would have a better understanding of the task and yourself. Learn to Say ‘No’ Where you can help it, say ‘no’—learn to set boundaries for yourself. For example, if your friend asks you to go shopping with her to buy a gift for her mother but you know you have to study for an important test, say no to her. You wouldn’t want to stress yourself out when you end up not having enough time to study for the test. ____20____ Learning to manage intense emotions takes time and practice. Always be in touch with yourself, and learn what works best for you. You only have one YOU. A. Step away. B. Focus on yourself. C. So, put yourself first, and excuse yourself. D. There is nothing wrong with you feeling this way. E. You are bound to feel more at ease at the end of it. F. Dealing with strong feelings does not come easy for many of us. G. Then, rank the tasks in order of priority, depending on the importance or urgency. 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题，每题1分，满分15分） Entering senior high brought both excitement and nerves.

It is not unusual for teenagers to have different interests from what our parents expect. I recommend that you talk to your parents about your passion for photography. Explain how it allows you to see the world from unique perspectives. Meanwhile, you could also acknowledge their concern about learning Chinese — it’s truly useful for future communication and cultural understanding. Perhaps you can make a balance: join the photography club as your main activity, while studying Chinese in your spare time. I believe with good communication and a little planning, you can find a solution that makes everyone happy. Yours, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
