Think about taking them to explore some of the most sustainable parks in the U.S. Discovery Green Park Discovery Green Park in Houston, Texas is full of dog runs, lakes, eco-friendly art displays, playgrounds, and sustainable buildings. Park managers follow through with organic gardening and landscaping methods, and there’s even an on-site recycling center. This park will show students how urban parks can follow sustainable practices and help the environment. Denali National Park and Preserve If your school can swing a trip to Alaska, then a visit to Denali National Park and Preserve should be at the top of your list. It is committed to being a green park by reducing energy and water consumption and promoting educational courses on climate change. Eden Park 186 acres of beauty is found in Cincinnati, Ohio. Since its conception, the park has been going green, with a pilot solar and wind energy project that began in 2006. The goal is to demonstrate the effectiveness of using renewable energy to power city buildings. Students will note solar panels throughout — even solar garbage cans. North Cascades National Park Founded in Washington in 1968, North Cascades National Park has created an environmental learning center that’s completely green and great for students. They’ll find a rooftop rainwater harvest system, green lighting, buildings made with recycled goods, and so much more! 21. Which park is based in Alaska? A. Eden Park. B. Discovery Green Park. C. North Cascades National Park. D. Denali National Park and Preserve. 22. What can be found at North Cascades National Park? A. On-site recycling centers. B. A rainwater harvest system. C.

From a young age, she was often told what she couldn’t do, but Sarah was determined to show the world what she could achieve. After being rejected from multiple jobs because of her disability, she decided to found Ocean Breeze Crafts, a sustainable handmade goods business, to demonstrate that her disability would never define her limits. Ocean Breeze Crafts began as a small workshop in Sarah’s apartment, but it quickly grew into a flourishing business. Today, her eco-friendly products, including handmade jewelry and home decorations, are sold in shops across the country. However, Sarah’s mission goes far beyond creating beautiful items. She offered employment opportunities to individuals with disabilities. Sarah believes that everyone deserves a chance to contribute, regardless of their challenges. Each employee at Ocean Breeze Crafts is trained in various aspects of the business, from designing products to managing orders, helping them gain valuable skills and confidence. One of the company’s most innovative initiatives is its “Sign & Design” program, where product packaging includes simple sign language instructions to enhance understanding of the deaf community. This program reflects Sarah’s passion for bridging the gap between the hearing and hearing-impaired worlds. She hopes these small steps will encourage broader conversations about inclusivity. Ocean Breeze Crafts also reinvests its profits in the community. A part of the earnings funds sign language workshops for local schools, job training programs for disabled individuals, and sustainability projects. Sarah’s vision is not just about running a successful business — it’s about creating lasting change. She dreams of a world where people with disabilities are valued for their abilities, not judged by their limitations. With the support of her team and a growing customer base, Ocean Breeze Crafts continues to expand its impact, proving that with determination and sympathy, barriers can be broken, and lives can be transformed. 24.

The study is the first of its kind to examine the connection between teacher burnout and students’ cortisol (皮质醇) levels, which are a biological indicator of stress. Researchers collected saliva (唾液) samples from over 400 elementary school children and tested their cortisol levels. They found that in classrooms in which teachers experienced more burnout, or feelings of emotional tiredness, students’ cortisol levels were increased. Higher cortisol levels in elementary school children have been linked to learning difficulties as well as mental health problems. “This suggests that stress spreading might be taking place in the classroom among students and their teachers,” said Eva Oberle, the study’s lead author. Indeed, the relationship between student stress and teacher burnout is a chicken-and-egg question. It’s unknown what came first-increased cortisol or teacher burnout. We consider the connection between student and teacher stress a cyclical problem in the classroom. Oberle said a stressful classroom climate could be a result of insufficient support for teachers, which may impact teachers’ ability to effectively manage their students. A poorly managed classroom can contribute to students’ needs not being met and increasing stress. This could be reflected in raised cortisol levels in students. Alternatively, stress could originate from students, who may be more challenging to teach because of increases in worry, behavioral problems, or special needs. In this situation, teachers could feel very tired and report higher levels of burnout. “Our study is a reminder of the systemic issues facing teachers and educators as classroom sizes increase and supports for teachers are cut,” said Oberle. “It is clear from a number of recent research studies that teaching is one of the most stressful professions, and that teachers need sufficient resources and support in their jobs in order to battle burnout and relieve stress in the classroom,” said UBC education professor Kimberly Schonert-Reichl, the study’s co-author and director of HELP. “If we do not support teachers, we risk the related damage of students.” 28. How did researchers measure students’ stress levels? A. By testing cortisol levels in their saliva. B. By observing their classroom behaviour. C. By requiring students to report their feelings. D. By asking teachers about students’ performance. 29. What can be concluded from paragraphs 4 and 5? A. Students’ behaviors lead to teachers’ higher level of burnout. B. Teacher burnout is the cause of the raised cortisol levels in students. C. Students with higher stress are more likely to have learning difficulties. D. Stress and burnout can be a two-way problem between teachers and students. 30. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Teachers can solve classroom problems alone. B. Stressful classrooms are mainly caused by students. C. Cutting resources for teachers has no negative effects. D. Providing enough resources helps reduce student stress. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Cortisol Levels and Learning: Biological Impacts B. Teacher Burnout and Student Stress: A Hidden Link C. Classroom Management and Stress: Practical Solutions D. Student Health and Classroom Performance: Key Factors D In a recent post about prioritizing things in your life, I quoted a statement: “If you died tomorrow, it would take your employer about a month to replace you. On the other hand, your family would never be able to replace you.” I presented it as a means of exhibiting the importance of prioritizing life outside of work. In terms of work and career, you are replaceable and, if that’s not a reason to prioritize other aspects of your life, I don’t know what is! I received some feedback that suggesting people are replaceable in their work lives might be a bit harsh. Be that as it may (尽管如此), at the same time, it’s fair. That said, it’s not my aim to make the point sound like a downer; rather, the aim was for it to be liberating. Sure, there might be a great impact on what you do, but that doesn’t make you special. Yes, everyone is special in their own ways — especially to their loved ones. Tom is special, as are Jill, Ben, Sarah, and Kevin. The list goes on. They all have their unique combinations of characteristics. But think of it in terms of statistics in psychological research — we desire a large sample size in part because they help us observe trends. The more people we observe, the more similar people become. For example, if you only had Jim and Denise — the differences between the two would be “remarkable” — you’d see how each is “special”. But, that’s simply the scope of things. Change the scope from two people to 1,000, and you start to see that what made Jim or Denise special is actually not very special at all. Just as important as valuing yourself and having a positive self-image is being realistic about how others see you. That is, you are not special to everyone or in every situation. Recognizing this should not be a blow to one’s self-image; rather, it will help you engage with others in a healthy and successful manner. 32. What does the author imply by the quote in his recent post? A. Family is more important than work. B. Priorities seldom exist among people. C. Individuals matter little at work. D. Work-life balance is easy to achieve. 33. What does the underlined word “harsh” in paragraph 2 possibly mean? A. Fair to see. B. Unpleasant to hear. C. Easy to handle. D. Hard to understand. 34. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. No two people are alike. B. Those we love make us special. C. Being special is relative. D. We are unique in a larger context. 35. Why is it important to be realistic about how others see you? A. It makes you value yourself more. B. It allows you to see your weaknesses. C. It contributes to a positive self-image. D. It boosts healthy interpersonal interactions. 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。 Many people are feeling “phone-overwhelmed”, yearning for a “simpler time” when smartphones didn’t exist. Smartphones definitely aren’t “evil” or “bad,” but people of all ages are struggling to find a “balance”. What’s the solution? Actually you don’t necessarily need to throw your brand new iPhone into the toilet or promise to never, ever use it again. Things don’t have to be that black or white. ____36____ Here are a few simple steps: Make a plan. To earn a college degree, you select specific classes happening at specific times and you attend them. This keeps you on track, moving steadily towards your goal. ____37____Choose specific times to check texts, social media updates, and so on, and then do your best to stick to the plan. Create phone-routines that help you to create the kind of day (and life) that you want. Savor (细品) the sound of silence. If your phone is continually bleeping and pinging every time “something happens”, it’s going to be tough for you to stay focused — you’ll be tempted to check in and see what’s up! This may seem obvious, but turn off those noisy notifications. ____38____If you’re concerned that you might miss something important, you can create a “call filter” so that certain people’s calls come through even if your phone is on “silent.” That way you can rest easy, knowing you won’t miss something truly urgent. ____39____For many couples and families, dinnertime is the only time of the day when everyone is gathered together in one place. Make dinner a special, sacred time. No phones at the table. If people get restless or bored, strike up an interesting conversation by playing a question game. Even if you’re dining alone, set your laptop or phone aside and savor your meal without techie distractions. Ask yourself, “What am I desiring right now?” When you feel the urge to check your phone, and you don’t really “need” to, pause for moment. ____40____Do you crave (渴望) company? Do you want some excitement or entertainment? Inspiration? Whatever you crave, see if you can find a non-phone-related way to give it to yourself. Go for a jog, or pop by a friend’s house to say “hi”. After satisfying your cravings out in the “real world,” you may discover that whatever is going on in the “phone-world” just isn’t that compelling anymore. A. Take some phone-free time. B. Make dinnertime a phone-free zone. C. Check in with yourself and see what you want. D. See how it feels to move freely without your phone. E. You can apply that same-logic to your smartphone usage. F. You can take specific steps to create healthier, more balanced relationship with your phone. G. Better yet, turn the volume on your phone down to zero or power-down your phone completely. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 2020, when I was driving through the neighbouring town Carrbridge and encountered a sign reading “Welcome to the Home of the World Porridge Championship”, I never thought I would____41____it two years later.

The first involves making____46____porridge, in which you’re only allowed three ingredients: water, oats and salt. Then, there’s a creative competition where you can make anything you like____47____it contains oats. You have to make them on a camping stove within 30 minutes. The____48____base their criteria on taste, texture (质地), colour and seasoning, but they don’t give____49____so it’s hard to know what they like and dislike. I didn’t get through in 2022 and 2023, but last year, I approached the process more____50____. I researched a lot — looking up different materials and expert tips — and ____51____that oats achieve the best texture between 60°C and 92°C, so I used a thermometer to keep my porridge under 92°C. I also employed Himalayan pink rock salt, as it has a slight sweetness to it. At last, I____52____. Most people don’t think much of porridge, so being the world porridge-making champion is slightly____53____, but there’s more to it than people realise. It’s remarkable how much____54____ there is in something with so few ingredients. This year’s championship is in October, and I’m preparing to defend my____55____. 41.

We’d been training together since freshman year at Seaside High, pushing each other through early morning rides along the coastal roads, where the ocean spray mixed with our sweat. Ismael, the son of a local fisherman, always sang old Spanish songs when we rode uphill, his voice strong and steady like the sea. Whenever he changed gears (换挡), I’d whistle three notes back — that was our little signal, made perfect over many rides together. When Ismael’s tire suddenly went flat, the loud noise cut through the air like a firecracker. I watched him lift his racing bike onto his shoulder without stopping and start to run, his legs working hard under the weight. Even from ten meters behind, I could feel his determination. In that moment, memories flooded my mind: that hard November rainstorm when we took turns pushing each other’s bikes up muddy hills, our cold fingers holding tightly to the handlebars; the night we sat on the pier (码头) sharing an orange while dreaming of racing in the European Junior Championships; the snack bar he’d quietly put into my pocket this morning before the race, with “For luck” written on the wrapper. I could have easily passed him — three powerful pedal strokes would have secured me third place — the podium spot (领奖台) we’d both been chasing. But my feet felt heavy on the pedals. I remembered our last race against other schools when my bike chain broke. Ismael had immediately dropped back, his hand on my shoulder as we walked together across the finish line. His own finish time was ruined but his smile was genuine. Now, watching him struggle forward, I knew what true victory meant. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 So I did what felt right. At the award ceremony, Ismael tried to give me his bronze medal. 参考答案 听力理解： 1-5. BBACC 6-10. ACBAC 11-15. ACBAB 16-20.

I am writing to sincerely invite you to participate in our Campus Science and Technology Innovation Exhibition, which will be held online from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on December 15th.

There will also be interactive sessions where participants can ask questions and exchange ideas with the project designers. You are welcome to join the event via the live stream on our school’s website. We look forward to your participation! Yours, Li Hua 读后续写： So I did what felt right. I slowed down and stayed two meters behind, just like how Ismael always took the lead to break the wind for me during our training rides. The crowd’s roar built as we approached the finish, Ismael running with his bike on his shoulders, me cycling slowly in his wake. My friend and teammate sensed what was happening and signaled to me to quicken my pedaling, as he was too breathless to utter any words. Bit by bit, we approached the finish line. Ismael crossed it, and I followed him. He laid down the bike, dashed to me, and hugged me tightly. At the award ceremony, Ismael tried to give me his bronze medal. I closed his fingers around it and smiled. “Remember what you told me when you walked with me to the finish last time?” I continued, “A teammate’s back is the best navigation!” His face lit up, reminding me of that evening when we’d watched the sunset over the sea, vowing always to be each other’s strongest rival and greatest supporter. This race might not change our careers. However, as we walked our bikes side by side into the twilight, I understood that some things shine brighter than any medal — like the worn grip marks on our handlebars, evidence of all the miles we’ve shared, weaving our dreams together into something unbreakable. 第 13 页 共 14 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
