It covers over 20,000 square kilometres, with waterfalls pouring into natural pools, vast wetlands and wildlife-filled places. Kakadu’s highlight is one of the highest concentrations of rock art sites anywhere in the world. Best time to visit: June to October Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia Croatia’s first national park in 1949 and now one of the country’s most popular attractions. Plitvice Lakes is a waterworld of pools with changing colors, pouring waterfalls and interconnected watercourses. The lakes sit on two levels, and the surrounding woodland is visited by brown bears, wolves and lynx, with various trees alive with rare birds. Best time to visit: Summer greens, fall golds and winter snows make Plitvice an ever-changing year-round destination Vatnajokull National Park, Iceland Here you’ll find all the natural wonders that this island has become famous for— ice caves, waterfalls, and glaciers that can be hiked on. And most of these attractions can be accessed relatively easily off Iceland’s Ring Road, four hours or so from Reykjavik. The Park was created in 2008 by joining together Jokulsargljufur and Skaftafell National Park to create a supersized area of over 12,000 square kilometres, making it the largest national park in Europe. Best time to visit: Summer for hiking; winter for ice cave tours Tongariro National Park, New Zealand Tongariro National Park has two World Heritage roles for its cultural and natural significance. The Park’s 19-kilometre Tongariro Alpine Crossing is also one of the best day hikes on the planet. It offers the chance to summit(登顶)an active volcano, hiking over burnt volcanic rock up to the Red Crater for impressive views. Best time to visit: Summer gives the best chance of good weather; winter hikes are possible but increasingly unpredictable 1. When are tourists advised to go to Kakadu National Park? A. In April. B.

But for Alejandro Buxton, it’s a bit different. He can’t wait to get home to dive into his candle-making business. Alejandro has a goal of being a bright light in the world. It all started when Alejandro discovered that commercial candles gave his mom headaches. He figured there must be a way to make an all-natural candle that was safe. So he dug into the world of wax and found a soy-based wax that is chemical-free. He also found natural oils to add scent, and Smell of Love Candles was born. Alejandro sells his candles at local fairs and to his neighbors. Then his online orders began picking up. In the fall of 2022, he started seventh grade-and opened his first retail store at Tysons Corner Center, a regional mall outside Washington, D.C. As his candles become a much bigger operation, he is always experimenting with new scents like Donut Kill My Vibe, the perfect after-school scent that gets you in the mood for a snack. Alejandro started his business to build his college fund. But running a business is about more than making money for him. He sets aside a portion of the profit to give back to the community. Some of the money supports the local homeless shelter, and some goes into a scholarship fund for kids who need a little help with college. His mother, Patricia, is impressed with her son and loves to spend time with him as his business grows. She says it has strengthened their bond to be together and see how his mind works, adding, “It’s been really inspiring.” Alejandro has big goals and an even bigger heart. With all the problems that seem to rob many of us of the motivation to move forward, Alejandro has chosen to focus on a solution that works, not only for him, but as an inspiration to others, no matter their age. 4. Why did Alejandro initially produce all-natural candles? A. To innovate candle products. B. To maintain his mother’s physical fitness. C. To set up an environmental-friendly business. D. To make money for college and helping others. 5. What makes Alejandro’s candle popular in the market? A. Its low cost and high quality. B. Its safety and attractive scents. C. His donation to the community. D. His care for the homeless and kids. 6. What words can be used to describe Alejandro? A. Outgoing and hardworking. B. Caring and adventurous. C. Creative and generous. D. Ambitious and romantic. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A close bond between mom and son. B. A smart seven-grade business owner. C. An innovative candle with new scents. D. A young boy’s tough journey to success. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述为了维护母亲的身体健康，Alejandro发明了安全且具有诱人香味的蜡烛，从七年级开始，就开了自己的第一家零售店。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It all started when Alejandro discovered that commercial candles gave his mom headaches. He figured there must be a way to make an all-natural candle that was safe. So he dug into the world of wax and found a soy-based wax that is chemical-free. He also found natural oils to add scent, and Smell of Love Candles was born.(这一切都始于Alejandro发现商业蜡烛会让他妈妈头疼。他认为一定有一种方法可以制造出安全的纯天然蜡烛。因此，他深入研究了蜡的世界，发现了一种不含化学物质的大豆基蜡。他还发现了天然油来增加香味，于是“爱的味道蜡烛”诞生了)”可推知，Alejandro最初制作纯天然蜡烛是为了维护母亲的身体健康。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It all started when Alejandro discovered that commercial candles gave his mom headaches.

But for Alejandro Buxton, it’s a bit different. He can’t wait to get home to dive into his candle-making business. Alejandro has a goal of being a bright light in the world.(随便问任何一个12岁的孩子，他们一天中最喜欢的时间是什么，你会得到一个响亮的答案：午餐！但对于Alejandro Buxton来说，情况有点不同。他迫不及待地想回家开始他的蜡烛制作生意。亚历杭德罗的目标是成为世界上的一盏明灯)”及下文介绍可知，文章主要叙述为了维护母亲的身体健康，Alejandro发明了安全且具有诱人香味的蜡烛，从七年级开始，就开了自己的第一家零售店。由此可知，这篇文章主要讲的是一个聪明的七年级企业主。故选B。 C In the last hundred years, the Bali mynah (巴厘岛白椋鸟) has been sought after for its white feathers and blue skin. The capture for sale along with the bird’s habitat loss led to its being listed as “threatened” in 1988. Now, conservationists are hoping to increase the mynah population by working with bird breeders (繁育者) and sellers to release them into the wild. Breeders can seek government permits to breed the birds. If approved, breeders are given mynahs and can keep 90 percent of the baby birds for private sale. The remaining birds are released at the National Park, where they will be closely watched by park officials. Early mynah releases faced problems. Some birds were infected with some diseases; others were killed by natural hunters. Illegal hunting also continued — the national park’s breeding center was even robbed, with nearly 40 birds stolen. Yet conservation efforts in the last ten years have seen greater success. Tom Squires, a famous conservationist, said, “Bird keepers can still keep birds and follow their hobby without causing real problems for wild populations — which is better than species going extinct in the world.” Agus Ngurah, also a well-known conservationist, praised the program. “With the community being the breeders... they are helping us to take care of the birds existing in nature,” he said. Squires noted that there is clear evidence that some release d birds have produced young ones. “So that leads me to believe that the population is certainly self-sustaining to an extent,” he said. Meanwhile, 420 Bali mynahs are now found living in the National Park. According to Logan William, another conservationist, “The government should give something back to the community so they can feel the benefits from conservation, and the bird can also benefit.” 8. Why is the mynah hunted by humans? A. They are pests. B. They taste good. C. They look beautiful. D. They are countless. 9. How many problems did early releases face? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 10. What can we infer from the three conservationists’ words? A. The government contributes the least. B. Bird keepers can keep the birds freely. C. The efforts of protecting the mynah have paid off. D. The community can breed birds for profits completely. 11. What might be the writer’s attitude to the breeding programme? A. Approving. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Opposed. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巴厘岛白椋鸟因外貌而被猎杀，后因其数量减少被列为濒危动物，以及保护主义者们为增加其数量而做出的努力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In the last hundred years, the Bali mynah (巴厘岛白椋鸟) has been sought after for its white feathers and blue skin.(在过去的一百年里，巴厘岛白椋鸟因其白色的羽毛和蓝色的皮肤而一直受到人们的追捧)”可知，白椋鸟因其外表美丽而被人类猎杀。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Early mynah releases faced problems. Some birds were infected with some diseases; others were killed by natural hunters. Illegal hunting also continued — the national park’s breeding center was even robbed, with nearly 40 birds stolen.(早期的白椋鸟放归面临了问题。一些鸟感染了疾病；其他的被自然猎手杀死。非法狩猎也在继续——国家公园的繁殖中心甚至被抢劫，近40只鸟被盗)”可知，早期放归面临的问题有三种：感染疾病、被自然猎手杀死和非法狩猎。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中环保人士Agus Ngurah所说“With the community being the breeders... they are helping us to take care of the birds existing in nature,(由于社区是繁殖者……他们正在帮助我们照顾自然中存在的鸟类)”、第六段中环保人士Squires提到的“there is clear evidence that some release d birds have produced young ones. ‘So that leads me to believe that the population is certainly self-sustaining to an extent,’(有明确的证据表明，一些被放归的鸟已经产下了幼鸟。“这让我相信，这个种群在一定程度上肯定是自给自足的)”和最后一段中环保人士Logan William所说“The government should give something back to the community so they can feel the benefits from conservation, and the bird can also benefit.(政府应该回馈社区，这样他们就能感受到保护的好处，鸟类也能从中受益)”可推知，从三位保护主义者的话中我们可以推断出，保护白椋鸟的努力已经取得了成效。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Yet conservation efforts in the last ten years have seen greater success.(然而，在过去的十年里，保护工作取得了更大的成功)”和文章整体内容可知，作者介绍了保护主义者们为增加白椋鸟数量而做出的努力，并引用了保护主义者的话来表达对政府支持保护项目的期待，由此可推知，作者对繁育计划持赞成态度。故选A项。 D “I write to find out what I’m thinking,” wrote the great American journalist John Dos Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth: the act of writing transforms half-formed ideas into precise, logical thought. What sounds coherent (有条理的) when spoken often appears weak and illogical when committed to paper. A recent MIT study provides convincing scientific evidence for this claim. Researchers used wearable brain scanners to compare students who wrote essays independently with those using AI assistance. The findings were clear: AI-assisted writers “consistently underperformed at brain, verbal, and behavioural levels.” They demonstrated that we need to write in order to think deeply. This research emerges at a critical historical moment for literacy. Childhood reading has reached record lows, with nearly half of British adults not reading a single book last year. Adult literacy is declining or making no progress across most OECD countries. Notably, average IQs have begun to decline since the 1980s, along with reasoning and problem-solving abilities — a trend that is unlikely to be random. Walter Ong’s influential work “Orality and Literacy” illuminates why writing is essential. He argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece’s intellectual revolution. Oral cultures must “think memorable thoughts”, relying on rhyme, emotion, and cliché (陈词滥调) to preserve knowledge. Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments. In our digital age, no technology has surpassed the complicated architecture of the book. While the internet offers fragmented (碎片化的) information, books provide rich context and sustained logical connections. Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text. As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning. Reading and writing form the foundation of serious thought — a habit that unites history’s greatest minds. Before we yield our cognitive development to screens and algorithms, we must carefully consider what we might be sacrificing. 12. What is the function of writing according to John Dos Passos? A. Revealing flaws in speech. B. Recording spoken words. C. Organizing thoughts. D. Ensuring fluency. 13. What is the key advantage of writing over oral cultures? A. It ensures greater objectivity. B. It makes for logical statements. C. It preserves knowledge longer. D. It requires “memorable thoughts”. 14. Why does the author describe reading as “thinking in dialogue with the text”? A. To show its interactive feature. B To contrast with online reading. C. To underline its logical structure. D. To highlight its cultural relevance. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards people’s reasoning capacity? A. Dismissive. B. Concerned. C. Critical. D. Skeptical. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要论述写作能梳理思想、深入思考，结合研究与理论说明读写的重要性，担忧数字时代碎片化内容对复杂推理能力的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的““I write to find out what I’m thinking,” wrote the great American journalist John Dos Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth: the act of writing transforms half-formed ideas into precise, logical thought. (美国伟大记者约翰·多斯·帕索斯写道：“我写作是为了弄清楚自己在想什么。”任何从事写作的人都明白这个道理：写作行为能将尚未成型的想法转化为精准、有条理的思考。)”可知，约翰·多斯·帕索斯认为写作的作用是梳理思想，将模糊想法转化为清晰思考。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“He argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece’s intellectual revolution. Oral cultures must “think memorable thoughts”, relying on rhyme, emotion, and cliché (陈词滥调) to preserve knowledge. Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments. (他认为读写能力推动了古希腊的知识革命。口头文化必须“思考易记的内容”，依靠韵律、情感和陈词滥调来保存知识。相比之下，写作能够呈现精准、复杂的表述，这些表述可被审视、回顾，并发展成有条理的论点。)”可知，与口头文化相比，写作的关键优势是能形成有条理的表述。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“While the internet offers fragmented (碎片化的) information, books provide rich context and sustained logical connections. Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text.(互联网提供碎片化信息，而书籍则提供丰富的背景和连贯的逻辑关联。阅读是一个需要参与和专注的主动过程——本质上是与文本对话式的思考。)”可知，作者将阅读描述为“与文本对话式的思考”，是为了体现阅读需要读者主动参与、与文本互动的特点，即突出其互动性。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning.(随着我们的文化越来越被短视频和分散注意力的内容主导，我们面临失去复杂推理能力的风险。)”以及“Before we yield our cognitive development to screens and algorithms, we must carefully consider what we might be sacrificing.(在我们将认知发展交给屏幕和算法之前，我们必须仔细思考可能会牺牲什么。)”可知，作者担忧碎片化内容导致人们推理能力下降，对人们的推理能力持担忧态度。故选B项。 第二节 七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） While most of us are familiar with the fun and excitement of taking a vacation with family or friends, far fewer people have set out on a holiday by themselves.

His name was always on the tip of everyone’s tongue when it came to school sports events. His little brother, Charlie, loved running too and had always been a fan of Simon. He admired his brother from the bottom of his heart, his eyes wide with excitement as Simon sped past everyone on the track. He wanted to be like Simon and feel the wind in his hair as he ran. Charlie’s dream of being a runner grew like a tiny seed, but was overshadowed by his brother’s bright light. He realized he could never run as fast as Simon did: His feet felt heavy on the track, and his heart was even heavier with fear. As the annual school sports day approached, Charlie saw the notice on the school bulletin board. His heart did a little dance. A running race! He wanted to be a part of it, to feel the excitement that Simon felt. With a trembling hand, Charlie wrote his name on the list and signed up for the running race, which would take place in two weeks. That night, he couldn’t sleep, his mind racing with worries. He tossed and turned, picturing himself tripping and falling. What if he lost? What if everyone laughed at him? He couldn’t contain himself and sobbed quietly. He felt as if he was a tiny bird trying to fly alongside an eagle. When Simon found Charlie crying in his room, he knew something was up. “Hey buddy, what’s all this?” he asked softly, his face filled with concern. Charlie looked up at his big brother with a long sigh and said, “I am going to lose, Simon. I’m not like you. I will never run as fast as you do.” 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。 Para 1.

He wiped away Charlie’s tears and said, “You know what, Charlie. What really matters is not about being the fastest. It is about giving it your all and surpassing your previous self.” He promised to train with Charlie together. From that day on, Simon woke up early to run with Charlie. Simon would teach Charlie all his secrets to running fast and staying strong. And with each passing day, Charlie’s confidence grew, and so did his speed. Charlie was no longer just a fan on the sidelines; he was a runner with his own dreams to chase. Two weeks later, Charlie stood at the starting line. His legs were a little shaky but his heart was full of courage. With each breath, he remembered Simon’s words, “You’re not just running a race, Charlie. You’re running towards your courage.” Charlie’s feet found a rhythm on the track, and he ran with a determination that surprised even himself. The crowd around him faded away, and all he could hear was Simon’s cheers, guiding him to the finish line. It was a day Charlie would never forget, a day when he learned that with belief and brotherly love, he could have the strength to keep going on any race in life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Simon是学校运动队的明星，弟弟Charlie热爱跑步且是其粉丝，但是因为Simon的光芒觉得自己很难跑得像他一样快。学校运动会临近，Charlie鼓起勇气报名跑步比赛，却因为担忧而哭泣。Simon发现后安慰他，并答应一起训练，教他跑步秘诀。两周后Charlie站在起跑线，铭记Simon的话充满勇气地奔跑，最终明白有信念和兄弟之情就能在比赛中前进。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Simon拍了拍Charlie的背，笑了”可知，第一段可描写Simon安慰哭泣的Charlie，开始和Charlie一起进行跑步训练，教Charlie跑步的秘诀，Charlie的信心和能力都增长了。 ②由第二段首句内容“两个星期后，Charlie站在起跑线上”可知，第二段可描写Charlie战胜恐惧，勇敢地跑起来，冲向终点线，以及Charlie从这一次的经历中获得的感悟。 2. 续写线索：Simon拍Charlie的背——Simon安慰Charlie——两人一起训练，Charlie取得进步——Charlie站在起跑线上——Charlie勇敢地奔跑——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①重要：matter/count/weigh ②胜过：surpass/excel/exceed ③追求：chase/pursue/go after ④逐渐消失：fade away/die away 情绪类 ①信心：confidence/self-assurance ②使惊讶：surprise/amaze 【点睛】[高分句型1] What really matters is not about being the fastest.

It covers over 20,000 square kilometres, with waterfalls pouring into natural pools, vast wetlands and wildlife-filled places. Kakadu’s highlight is one of the highest concentrations of rock art sites anywhere in the world. Best time to visit: June to October Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia Croatia’s first national park in 1949 and now one of the country’s most popular attractions. Plitvice Lakes is a waterworld of pools with changing colors, pouring waterfalls and interconnected watercourses. The lakes sit on two levels, and the surrounding woodland is visited by brown bears, wolves and lynx, with various trees alive with rare birds. Best time to visit: Summer greens, fall golds and winter snows make Plitvice an ever-changing year-round destination Vatnajokull National Park, Iceland Here you’ll find all the natural wonders that this island has become famous for— ice caves, waterfalls, and glaciers that can be hiked on. And most of these attractions can be accessed relatively easily off Iceland’s Ring Road, four hours or so from Reykjavik. The Park was created in 2008 by joining together Jokulsargljufur and Skaftafell National Park to create a supersized area of over 12,000 square kilometres, making it the largest national park in Europe. Best time to visit: Summer for hiking; winter for ice cave tours Tongariro National Park, New Zealand Tongariro National Park has two World Heritage roles for its cultural and natural significance. The Park’s 19-kilometre Tongariro Alpine Crossing is also one of the best day hikes on the planet. It offers the chance to summit(登顶)an active volcano, hiking over burnt volcanic rock up to the Red Crater for impressive views. Best time to visit: Summer gives the best chance of good weather; winter hikes are possible but increasingly unpredictable 1. When are tourists advised to go to Kakadu National Park? A. In April. B.

But for Alejandro Buxton, it’s a bit different. He can’t wait to get home to dive into his candle-making business. Alejandro has a goal of being a bright light in the world. It all started when Alejandro discovered that commercial candles gave his mom headaches. He figured there must be a way to make an all-natural candle that was safe. So he dug into the world of wax and found a soy-based wax that is chemical-free. He also found natural oils to add scent, and Smell of Love Candles was born. Alejandro sells his candles at local fairs and to his neighbors. Then his online orders began picking up. In the fall of 2022, he started seventh grade-and opened his first retail store at Tysons Corner Center, a regional mall outside Washington, D.C. As his candles become a much bigger operation, he is always experimenting with new scents like Donut Kill My Vibe, the perfect after-school scent that gets you in the mood for a snack. Alejandro started his business to build his college fund. But running a business is about more than making money for him. He sets aside a portion of the profit to give back to the community. Some of the money supports the local homeless shelter, and some goes into a scholarship fund for kids who need a little help with college. His mother, Patricia, is impressed with her son and loves to spend time with him as his business grows. She says it has strengthened their bond to be together and see how his mind works, adding, “It’s been really inspiring.” Alejandro has big goals and an even bigger heart. With all the problems that seem to rob many of us of the motivation to move forward, Alejandro has chosen to focus on a solution that works, not only for him, but as an inspiration to others, no matter their age. 4. Why did Alejandro initially produce all-natural candles? A. To innovate candle products. B. To maintain his mother’s physical fitness. C. To set up an environmental-friendly business. D. To make money for college and helping others. 5. What makes Alejandro’s candle popular in the market? A. Its low cost and high quality. B. Its safety and attractive scents. C. His donation to the community. D. His care for the homeless and kids. 6. What words can be used to describe Alejandro? A. Outgoing and hardworking. B. Caring and adventurous. C. Creative and generous. D. Ambitious and romantic. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A close bond between mom and son. B. A smart seven-grade business owner. C. An innovative candle with new scents. D. A young boy’s tough journey to success. C In the last hundred years, the Bali mynah (巴厘岛白椋鸟) has been sought after for its white feathers and blue skin. The capture for sale along with the bird’s habitat loss led to its being listed as “threatened” in 1988. Now, conservationists are hoping to increase the mynah population by working with bird breeders (繁育者) and sellers to release them into the wild. Breeders can seek government permits to breed the birds. If approved, breeders are given mynahs and can keep 90 percent of the baby birds for private sale. The remaining birds are released at the National Park, where they will be closely watched by park officials. Early mynah releases faced problems. Some birds were infected with some diseases; others were killed by natural hunters. Illegal hunting also continued — the national park’s breeding center was even robbed, with nearly 40 birds stolen. Yet conservation efforts in the last ten years have seen greater success. Tom Squires, a famous conservationist, said, “Bird keepers can still keep birds and follow their hobby without causing real problems for wild populations — which is better than species going extinct in the world.” Agus Ngurah, also a well-known conservationist, praised the program. “With the community being the breeders... they are helping us to take care of the birds existing in nature,” he said. Squires noted that there is clear evidence that some release d birds have produced young ones. “So that leads me to believe that the population is certainly self-sustaining to an extent,” he said. Meanwhile, 420 Bali mynahs are now found living in the National Park. According to Logan William another conservationist, “The government should give something back to the community so they can feel the benefits from conservation, and the bird can also benefit.” 8. Why is the mynah hunted by humans? A. They are pests. B. They taste good. C. They look beautiful. D. They are countless. 9. How many problems did early releases face? A Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 10. What can we infer from the three conservationists’ words? A. The government contributes the least. B. Bird keepers can keep the birds freely. C. The efforts of protecting the mynah have paid off. D. The community can breed birds for profits completely. 11. What might be the writer’s attitude to the breeding programme? A. Approving. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Opposed. D “I write to find out what I’m thinking,” wrote the great American journalist John Dos Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth: the act of writing transforms half-formed ideas into precise, logical thought. What sounds coherent (有条理的) when spoken often appears weak and illogical when committed to paper. A recent MIT study provides convincing scientific evidence for this claim. Researchers used wearable brain scanners to compare students who wrote essays independently with those using AI assistance. The findings were clear: AI-assisted writers “consistently underperformed at brain, verbal, and behavioural levels.” They demonstrated that we need to write in order to think deeply. This research emerges at a critical historical moment for literacy. Childhood reading has reached record lows, with nearly half of British adults not reading a single book last year. Adult literacy is declining or making no progress across most OECD countries. Notably, average IQs have begun to decline since the 1980s, along with reasoning and problem-solving abilities — a trend that is unlikely to be random. Walter Ong’s influential work “Orality and Literacy” illuminates why writing is essential. He argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece’s intellectual revolution. Oral cultures must “think memorable thoughts”, relying on rhyme, emotion, and cliché (陈词滥调) to preserve knowledge. Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments. In our digital age, no technology has surpassed the complicated architecture of the book. While the internet offers fragmented (碎片化的) information, books provide rich context and sustained logical connections. Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text. As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning. Reading and writing form the foundation of serious thought — a habit that unites history’s greatest minds. Before we yield our cognitive development to screens and algorithms, we must carefully consider what we might be sacrificing. 12. What is the function of writing according to John Dos Passos? A. Revealing flaws in speech. B. Recording spoken words. C. Organizing thoughts. D. Ensuring fluency. 13. What is the key advantage of writing over oral cultures? A. It ensures greater objectivity. B. It makes for logical statements. C. It preserves knowledge longer. D. It requires “memorable thoughts”. 14. Why does the author describe reading as “thinking in dialogue with the text”? A. To show its interactive feature. B. To contrast with online reading. C. To underline its logical structure. D. To highlight its cultural relevance. 15 What is the author’s attitude towards people’s reasoning capacity? A. Dismissive. B. Concerned. C. Critical. D. Skeptical. 第二节 七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） While most of us are familiar with the fun and excitement of taking a vacation with family or friends, far fewer people have set out on a holiday by themselves.

He loved the thrill of outrunning the wind and crossing the finish line first. His name was always on the tip of everyone’s tongue when it came to school sports events. His little brother, Charlie, loved running too and had always been a fan of Simon. He admired his brother from the bottom of his heart, his eyes wide with excitement as Simon sped past everyone on the track. He wanted to be like Simon and feel the wind in his hair as he ran. Charlie’s dream of being a runner grew like a tiny seed, but was overshadowed by his brother’s bright light. He realized he could never run as fast as Simon did: His feet felt heavy on the track, and his heart was even heavier with fear. As the annual school sports day approached, Charlie saw the notice on the school bulletin board. His heart did a little dance. A running race! He wanted to be a part of it, to feel the excitement that Simon felt. With a trembling hand, Charlie wrote his name on the list and signed up for the running race, which would take place in two weeks. That night, he couldn’t sleep, his mind racing with worries. He tossed and turned, picturing himself tripping and falling. What if he lost? What if everyone laughed at him? He couldn’t contain himself and sobbed quietly. He felt as if he was a tiny bird trying to fly alongside an eagle. When Simon found Charlie crying in his room, he knew something was up. “Hey buddy, what’s all this?” he asked softly, his face filled with concern. Charlie looked up at his big brother with a long sigh and said, “I am going to lose, Simon. I’m not like you. I will never run as fast as you do.” 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。 Para 1. Simon gave Charlie a pat on the back and smiled. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2.
