My project was ambitious: demonstrating the effect of different types of music on plant growth. I set up three groups of plants: one listening to classical music, one to rock music, and one to silence. I followed my plan perfectly, certain that the classical group would thrive. Weeks passed, and to my dismay, there was no significant difference in growth between any of the groups. My hypothesis was wrong. I felt like a failure. The night before the fair, I considered not going. But I decided to present my project honestly, showing my original hypothesis, my detailed process, and the unexpected results. During the judging, one judge spent a long time at my display. “This is very interesting,” she said. “You had a clear question, a well-designed experiment, and, most importantly, you were honest about your results. Science isn’t just about being right; it’s about exploring the unknown and learning from the process, even when the outcome isn’t what you expect.” I didn’t win first prize, but I received a special award for scientific integrity. That day, I learned that true growth often comes not from success, but from how we handle our failures. It was the most valuable lesson I could have learned. 4. What was the author’s initial hypothesis for the science project? A. Plants would grow faster with rock music. B. Silence was the best condition for plant growth. C. Classical music would positively affect plant growth. D. Different music would have the same effect on plants. 5. How did the author feel when seeing the results of the experiment? A. Excited. B. Disappointed. C. Surprised. D. Confused. 6. Why did the judge praise the author’s project? A. Because it won the first prize. B. Because it had the most ambitious hypothesis. C. Because it was presented with honesty and a good design. D. Because it produced the expected results. 7. What was the most important thing the author learned from this experience? A. Winning is everything. B. Failure is always bad. C. Learning can come from handling failure. D. Complex experiments are always better. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者参加科学展览，实验结果与假设不符，最终因诚实获特别奖并学到宝贵经验。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“My project was ambitious: demonstrating the effect of different types of music on plant growth.

My hypothesis was wrong. I felt like a failure.(几个星期过去了，令我沮丧的是，各组之间的生长没有显著差异。我的假设是错误的。我觉得自己是个失败者)”可知，当看到实验结果时，作者感到失望。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““This is very interesting,” she said. “You had a clear question, a well-designed experiment, and, most importantly, you were honest about your results. Science isn’t just about being right; it’s about exploring the unknown and learning from the process, even when the outcome isn’t what you expect.”（“这非常有趣，”她说。“你有一个明确的问题，一个设计良好的实验，最重要的是，你对自己的结果很诚实。科学不仅仅是关于正确；它是关于探索未知并从过程中学习，即使结果不是你所期望的。”)”可知，评委称赞作者的项目是因为它以诚实和良好的设计呈现。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“That day, I learned that true growth often comes not from success, but from how we handle our failures. It was the most valuable lesson I could have learned.(那天，我明白了真正的成长往往不是来自成功，而是来自我们如何处理失败。这是我能学到的最有价值的教训)”可知，作者从这次经历中学到的最重要的事情是学习可以来自处理失败。故选C。 C For centuries, we viewed forests as collections of individual trees competing for resources. However, a growing body of research reveals a different story: trees in a forest are interconnected and communicating through a vast, underground network. This network, often called the “Wood Wide Web,” is primarily composed of mycorrhizal fungi. These fungi form symbiotic relationships with tree roots. The fungi help trees absorb water and nutrients from the soil, and in return, the trees provide the fungi with sugars. But the fungi do more than just trade resources. They connect the roots of different trees, even of different species, creating a complex web. Through this web, trees can send warning signals. When a tree is attacked by insects, it can release chemical signals into the network. Neighboring trees that receive these signals can then activate their own defense mechanisms, such as producing chemicals that make their leaves less tasty to the insects. Mother trees, the oldest and largest in the forest, can even favor their offspring. Studies have shown that they can recognize young seedlings related to them and send them more nutrients through the fungal network to help them grow. This challenges our traditional understanding of nature as purely competitive, suggesting that cooperation is equally important for the survival of a forest. This hidden world beneath our feet shows that a forest is much more than just trees; it is a complex, interconnected community. 8. What is the main function of the “Wood Wide Web”? A. To help trees compete for sunlight. B. To connect trees for communication and resource sharing. C. To protect trees from human activities. D. To attract insects for pollination. 9. What is the symbiotic relationship between trees and fungi? A. Trees protect fungi from insects. B. Fungi provide trees with sugars, and trees provide fungi with nutrients. C. Trees provide fungi with sugars, and fungi help trees absorb water and nutrients. D. Fungi help trees grow taller, and trees provide fungi with shade. 10. How can trees use the fungal network to defend themselves? A. By growing thicker bark. B By attracting beneficial insects. C. By sending warning signals to neighboring trees. D. By moving their leaves away from danger. 11. What does the example of “mother trees” suggest? A. Trees are completely independent. B. Competition is the only rule in forests. C. Cooperation exists within forest communities. D. Older trees always suppress the growth of younger ones. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了森林中的树木通过地下菌丝网络相互连接、交流并共享资源的现象。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But the fungi do more than just trade resources. They connect the roots of different trees, even of different species, creating a complex web.(但真菌作用不仅仅是交换资源。它们连接不同树木甚至不同物种的根系，形成一个复杂的网络)”以及第三段中“Through this web, trees can send warning signals.(通过这个网络，树木可以发送警告信号)”可知，“Wood Wide Web”的主要功能是连接树木进行交流和资源共享。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The fungi help trees absorb water and nutrients from the soil, and in return, the trees provide the fungi with sugars.(真菌帮助树木从土壤中吸收水分和养分，作为回报，树木为真菌提供糖分)”可知，树木和真菌之间的共生关系是树木为真菌提供糖分，真菌帮助树木吸收水分和养分。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When a tree is attacked by insects, it can release chemical signals into the network. Neighboring trees that receive these signals can then activate their own defense mechanisms, such as producing chemicals that make their leaves less tasty to the insects.(当一棵树受到昆虫攻击时，它可以向网络中释放化学信号。接收到这些信号的邻近树木可以激活自己的防御机制，例如产生使叶子对昆虫不那么美味的化学物质)”可知，树木可以通过向邻近的树木发送警告信号来利用真菌网络进行防御。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Mother trees, the oldest and largest in the forest, can even favor their offspring. Studies have shown that they can recognize young seedlings related to them and send them more nutrients through the fungal network to help them grow. This challenges our traditional understanding of nature as purely competitive, suggesting that cooperation is equally important for the survival of a forest.(母树是森林中最古老、最大的树，它们甚至会偏爱自己的后代。研究表明，它们能够识别与自己相关的幼苗，并通过真菌网络为它们输送更多的养分，帮助它们生长。这挑战了我们传统上对自然纯粹竞争的理解，表明合作对森林的生存同样重要)”可知，“母树”的例子表明森林社区中存在合作。故选C。 D The line between work and personal life has become increasingly blurred in the digital age. With smartphones keeping us constantly connected to email and messaging apps, many employees find it difficult to ever truly “switch off.” In response to this, several countries, including France and Portugal, have begun implementing a “right to disconnect.” The “right to disconnect” is a labor policy that grants employees the legal right to ignore work-related digital communications outside of their normal working hours. The aim is to combat the “always-on” culture, which has been linked to increased stress, burnout, and negative impacts on family relationships and personal well-being. Proponents argue that this law is essential for protecting workers’ mental health and ensuring their right to rest. It encourages companies to establish clear guidelines about after-hours communication and fosters a culture of respect for employees’ personal time. For employees, it means they can fully recharge, potentially leading to increased productivity and creativity during actual work hours. However, critics, often from business circles, express concerns. They argue that it could reduce flexibility and hinder a company’s ability to respond quickly in a fast-paced global economy. Some managers worry it might be difficult to enforce and could create resentment if not managed carefully. Despite the debate, the emergence of this right highlights a growing recognition of the need to redefine boundaries in the modern workplace. As technology continues to evolve, finding a sustainable balance between connectivity and well-being becomes crucial for both employers and employees. 12. What is the main purpose of the “right to disconnect”? A. To reduce companies’ operational costs. B. To allow employees to ignore work completely. C. To protect employees’ personal time from work intrusion. D. To encourage the use of digital communication. 13. According to the text, what is a potential benefit of the “right to disconnect” for companies? A. Fewer employment regulations. B. More flexible working hours for all. C. More productive and creative employees. D. Faster response to global clients. 14. What is the main concern of critics regarding this policy? A. It might be unfair to employees. B. It could harm business flexibility and efficiency. C. It is too difficult for employees to follow. D. It will lead to less use of technology. 15. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s view on the “right to disconnect”? A. It is an unnecessary law that will harm the economy. B. It is a perfect solution to work-life balance. C. It is a response to a modern problem that needs careful balance. D. It is only beneficial for employees’ mental health. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了数字时代工作与个人生活界限模糊，多国实施“离线权”政策及其利弊。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The “right to disconnect” is a labor policy that grants employees the legal right to ignore work-related digital communications outside of their normal working hours. The aim is to combat the “always-on” culture, which has been linked to increased stress, burnout, and negative impacts on family relationships and personal well-being.(“离线权”是一项劳动政策，赋予员工在正常工作时间之外忽略与工作相关的数字通信的合法权利。其目的是对抗“永远在线”的文化，这种文化与压力增加、职业倦怠以及对家庭关系和个人福祉的负面影响有关。)”可知，“离线权”的主要目的是保护员工的个人时间不受工作侵扰。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“For employees, it means they can fully recharge, potentially leading to increased productivity and creativity during actual work hours.(对员工来说，这意味着他们可以充分重新恢复精力，从而在实际工作时间内提高生产力和创造力)”可知，“离线权”对公司的一个潜在好处是员工更有生产力和创造力。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, critics, often from business circles, express concerns. They argue that it could reduce flexibility and hinder a company’s ability to respond quickly in a fast-paced global economy.(然而，批评者，往往来自商界，表达了担忧。他们认为，这可能会降低灵活性，阻碍公司在快节奏的全球经济中快速反应的能力)”可知，批评者对该政策的主要担忧是它可能会损害商业灵活性和效率。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite the debate, the emergence of this right highlights a growing recognition of the need to redefine boundaries in the modern workplace. As technology continues to evolve, finding a sustainable balance between connectivity and well-being becomes crucial for both employers and employees.(尽管存在争议，但这一权利的出现凸显了人们越来越认识到需要重新定义现代工作场所的界限。随着技术的不断发展，在连接性和福祉之间找到可持续的平衡对雇主和雇员来说都至关重要)”可知，作者认为“离线权”是对现代问题的一种回应，需要谨慎平衡。故选C。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Building Healthy Boundaries in Friendships Friendships are a vital part of a happy life, but like any relationship, they require care and respect to thrive.

My classmates called me “Anna” because my Chinese name, Li Wen, was too difficult for them to pronounce. I tried to blend in, distancing myself from anything that made me different, including my heritage. Everything changed the summer I turned sixteen, when my grandmother from Shanghai visited. She brought with her a large, antique wooden trunk. “This is for you, Li Wen,” she said, her eyes twinkling. Inside, carefully folded in tissue paper, was the most exquisite garment I had ever seen: a cheongsam (旗袍) of deep emerald silk, embroidered with a magnificent, coiling golden dragon. “It belonged to your great-grandmother,” Grandma explained. “She was a renowned opera singer in Shanghai. She wore this the last time she performed before the war.” I reached out and touched the silk. It felt cool and smooth, like water. As my fingers traced the intricate, raised embroidery of the dragon, a strange sense of pride, fierce and unfamiliar, welled up inside me. This was not just a dress, it was a story, a piece of my history. Grandma helped me put it on. It fit as if it had been made for me. Standing in front of the mirror, I didn’t see the awkward girl who tried to be “Anna.” I saw Li Wen. I saw strength and a legacy I had never understood. The golden dragon seemed to shimmer with a life of its own, its eyes seeming to hold ancient secrets. “That dragon,” Grandma said softly, placing a hand on my shoulder, “is not just a decoration. In our culture, it represents power, wisdom, and good fortune. But for our family, it represents something more—the unbroken spirit that has carried us through generations.” On the inside of the collar, my fingers found a small, elegantly stitched name: “Mei Lin.” My great-grandmother. Wearing her dress, I no longer felt like an outsider in my own skin. 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。 That night, our town was holding its annual summer festival.

I had always avoided it, but this time, I made a decision. I put on the emerald cheongsam again, smoothing the silk gently as I walked out. The festival was ablaze with lights and laughter. When I appeared, some eyes turned to me, but instead of shrinking, I held my head high. Kids asked about the dragon, and I told them it was from my great-grandmother, a Shanghai opera singer. For the first time, I spoke proudly of my heritage, no longer hiding “Li Wen” behind “Anna”. As I walked home, a man with silver hair and a kind face approached me, his eyes fixed on the dragon embroidered on my dress. “That embroidery... I know it,” he said, voice trembling. He pulled out an old photo: a woman in the same cheongsam, singing on stage. It was Mei Lin. “I was her accompanist,” he said. He told me stories of her passion for opera, how she kept singing even in hard times. Tears filled my eyes. The dragon on my dress wasn’t just a design — it was a bridge connecting me to my past, and now, to a piece of her story. 【解析】 【导语】本文以“祖母赠送的翡翠旗袍”为线索展开，讲述了华裔女孩李文为融入美国小镇隐藏中文名与文化传承，在穿上曾祖母（著名沪剧演员）的旗袍后重拾文化自豪感，进而发生转变的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“那天晚上，我们镇正在举办一年一度的夏日节。我总是避开它，但这次，我做了一个决定。”可知，接下来描写李文穿着旗袍参加曾回避的节日，面对他人目光不再退缩，主动向孩童讲述旗袍与曾祖母的故事，首次坦然且自豪地展现自身文化传承，完成从“安娜”到“李文”的身份认同转变。 ②由第二段首句“在我走回家的路上，一位银发、面容和善的男士走向我，他的目光锁定在我裙子上绣的龙上。”知，接下来通过银发老人（曾祖母的伴奏者）的出现，以老照片印证旗袍归属，补充曾祖母坚守艺术的故事，让李文更深层理解旗袍承载的家族精神，强化文化联结与身份认同。 2. 续写线索：穿旗袍赴节日打破回避习惯——坦然回应他人目光与询问——主动讲述旗袍背后的家族故事——偶遇曾祖母旧识获赠老照片——听闻曾祖母事迹深化文化认知——彻底接纳自身文化传承与身份 3. 词汇激活： 行为类  ①穿上：put on/wear ②整平整：smooth/flatten ③拿出：take out/draw out 情绪类  ①热情：passion/enthusiasm ②眼里充满泪水：tears filled my eyes/tears welled up in my eyes 【点睛】【高级句型1】I put on the emerald cheongsam again, smoothing the silk gently as I walked out.（运用了现在分词作状语以及as引导的时间状语从句） 【高级句型2】 “That embroidery...

B I had always been confident in my scientific abilities, so when the school science fair was announced, I was sure I would win. My project was ambitious: demonstrating the effect of different types of music on plant growth. I set up three groups of plants: one listening to classical music, one to rock music, and one to silence. I followed my plan perfectly, certain that the classical group would thrive. Weeks passed, and to my dismay, there was no significant difference in growth between any of the groups. My hypothesis was wrong. I felt like a failure. The night before the fair, I considered not going. But I decided to present my project honestly, showing my original hypothesis, my detailed process, and the unexpected results. During the judging, one judge spent a long time at my display. “This is very interesting,” she said. “You had a clear question, a well-designed experiment, and, most importantly, you were honest about your results. Science isn’t just about being right; it’s about exploring the unknown and learning from the process, even when the outcome isn’t what you expect.” I didn’t win first prize, but I received a special award for scientific integrity. That day, I learned that true growth often comes not from success, but from how we handle our failures. It was the most valuable lesson I could have learned. 4. What was the author’s initial hypothesis for the science project? A. Plants would grow faster with rock music. B. Silence was the best condition for plant growth. C. Classical music would positively affect plant growth. D. Different music would have the same effect on plants. 5. How did the author feel when seeing the results of the experiment? A. Excited. B. Disappointed. C. Surprised. D. Confused. 6. Why did the judge praise the author’s project? A. Because it won the first prize. B. Because it had the most ambitious hypothesis. C. Because it was presented with honesty and a good design. D. Because it produced the expected results. 7. What was the most important thing the author learned from this experience? A. Winning is everything. B. Failure is always bad. C. Learning can come from handling failure. D. Complex experiments are always better. C For centuries, we viewed forests as collections of individual trees competing for resources. However, a growing body of research reveals a different story: trees in a forest are interconnected and communicating through a vast, underground network. This network, often called the “Wood Wide Web,” is primarily composed of mycorrhizal fungi. These fungi form symbiotic relationships with tree roots. The fungi help trees absorb water and nutrients from the soil, and in return, the trees provide the fungi with sugars. But the fungi do more than just trade resources. They connect the roots of different trees, even of different species, creating a complex web. Through this web, trees can send warning signals. When a tree is attacked by insects, it can release chemical signals into the network. Neighboring trees that receive these signals can then activate their own defense mechanisms, such as producing chemicals that make their leaves less tasty to the insects. Mother trees, the oldest and largest in the forest, can even favor their offspring. Studies have shown that they can recognize young seedlings related to them and send them more nutrients through the fungal network to help them grow. This challenges our traditional understanding of nature as purely competitive, suggesting that cooperation is equally important for the survival of a forest. This hidden world beneath our feet shows that a forest is much more than just trees; it is a complex, interconnected community. 8. What is the main function of the “Wood Wide Web”? A. To help trees compete for sunlight. B. To connect trees for communication and resource sharing. C. To protect trees from human activities. D. To attract insects for pollination. 9. What is the symbiotic relationship between trees and fungi? A. Trees protect fungi from insects. B. Fungi provide trees with sugars, and trees provide fungi with nutrients. C. Trees provide fungi with sugars, and fungi help trees absorb water and nutrients. D. Fungi help trees grow taller, and trees provide fungi with shade. 10. How can trees use the fungal network to defend themselves? A. By growing thicker bark. B. By attracting beneficial insects. C By sending warning signals to neighboring trees. D. By moving their leaves away from danger. 11. What does the example of “mother trees” suggest? A. Trees are completely independent. B. Competition is the only rule in forests. C. Cooperation exists within forest communities. D. Older trees always suppress the growth of younger ones. D The line between work and personal life has become increasingly blurred in the digital age. With smartphones keeping us constantly connected to email and messaging apps, many employees find it difficult to ever truly “switch off.” In response to this, several countries, including France and Portugal, have begun implementing a “right to disconnect.” The “right to disconnect” is a labor policy that grants employees the legal right to ignore work-related digital communications outside of their normal working hours. The aim is to combat the “always-on” culture, which has been linked to increased stress, burnout, and negative impacts on family relationships and personal well-being. Proponents argue that this law is essential for protecting workers’ mental health and ensuring their right to rest. It encourages companies to establish clear guidelines about after-hours communication and fosters a culture of respect for employees’ personal time. For employees, it means they can fully recharge, potentially leading to increased productivity and creativity during actual work hours. However, critics, often from business circles, express concerns. They argue that it could reduce flexibility and hinder a company’s ability to respond quickly in a fast-paced global economy. Some managers worry it might be difficult to enforce and could create resentment if not managed carefully. Despite the debate, the emergence of this right highlights a growing recognition of the need to redefine boundaries in the modern workplace. As technology continues to evolve, finding a sustainable balance between connectivity and well-being becomes crucial for both employers and employees. 12. What is the main purpose of the “right to disconnect”? A. To reduce companies’ operational costs. B. To allow employees to ignore work completely. C. To protect employees’ personal time from work intrusion. D. To encourage the use of digital communication. 13. According to the text, what is a potential benefit of the “right to disconnect” for companies? A Fewer employment regulations. B. More flexible working hours for all. C. More productive and creative employees. D. Faster response to global clients. 14. What is the main concern of critics regarding this policy? A. It might be unfair to employees. B. It could harm business flexibility and efficiency. C. It is too difficult for employees to follow. D. It will lead to less use of technology. 15. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s view on the “right to disconnect”? A. It is an unnecessary law that will harm the economy. B. It is a perfect solution to work-life balance. C. It is a response to a modern problem that needs careful balance. D. It is only beneficial for employees’ mental health. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Building Healthy Boundaries in Friendships Friendships are a vital part of a happy life, but like any relationship, they require care and respect to thrive. One of the most important skills for maintaining healthy friendships is learning how to set boundaries. ____16____ It’s about knowing your own limits, communicating them clearly, and expecting them to be respected. Learn to say “no” without guilt. You are not obligated to say “yes” to every request from a friend. If you’re tired, busy, or simply don’t want to do something, it’s okay to decline. A true friend will understand. ____17____ Express your needs and feelings clearly. If something your friend does bothers you, talk to them about it honestly but kindly. Use “I” statements, such as “I feel hurt when...” instead of blaming them. ____18____ Identify energy-draining relationships. Pay attention to how you feel after spending time with a friend. Do you feel uplifted and supported, or drained and negative? ____19____ It’s okay to distance yourself from friendships that consistently leave you feeling bad. Respect your friends’ boundaries, too. Healthy friendship is a two-way street. If a friend sets a boundary with you, such as needing some space or not wanting to discuss a certain topic, honor their request. ____20____ Understand that boundaries strengthen friendships. Some people worry that setting rules will damage a friendship. In reality, clear boundaries prevent resentment and misunderstanding. They create a safe and respectful environment where the friendship can truly flourish. A. This shows that you value the friendship and their comfort. B.

My classmates called me “Anna” because my Chinese name, Li Wen, was too difficult for them to pronounce. I tried to blend in, distancing myself from anything that made me different, including my heritage. Everything changed the summer I turned sixteen, when my grandmother from Shanghai visited. She brought with her a large, antique wooden trunk. “This is for you, Li Wen,” she said, her eyes twinkling. Inside, carefully folded in tissue paper, was the most exquisite garment I had ever seen: a cheongsam (旗袍) of deep emerald silk, embroidered with a magnificent, coiling golden dragon. “It belonged to your great-grandmother,” Grandma explained. “She was a renowned opera singer in Shanghai. She wore this the last time she performed before the war.” I reached out and touched the silk. It felt cool and smooth, like water. As my fingers traced the intricate, raised embroidery of the dragon, a strange sense of pride, fierce and unfamiliar, welled up inside me. This was not just a dress, it was a story, a piece of my history. Grandma helped me put it on. It fit as if it had been made for me. Standing in front of the mirror, I didn’t see the awkward girl who tried to be “Anna.” I saw Li Wen. I saw strength and a legacy I had never understood. The golden dragon seemed to shimmer with a life of its own, its eyes seeming to hold ancient secrets. “That dragon,” Grandma said softly, placing a hand on my shoulder, “is not just a decoration. In our culture, it represents power, wisdom, and good fortune. But for our family, it represents something more—the unbroken spirit that has carried us through generations.” On the inside of the collar, my fingers found a small, elegantly stitched name: “Mei Lin.” My great-grandmother. Wearing her dress, I no longer felt like an outsider in my own skin. 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。 That night, our town was holding its annual summer festival.
