Today, I’d like to share my thoughts on filming short videos on campus. I believe it has both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it’s a great way to record beautiful moments and express creativity. On the other hand, it may distract students from their studies and invade others’ privacy, which has a seriously bad influence on students. Therefore, I suggest we use phones responsibly. Avoid disturbing others, choose appropriate times and places, and always respect privacy. Let’s make our campus a harmonious and inspiring environment. Thank you! 例文② My views on filming short videos on campus Good afternoon, everyone. Recently, I have observed an increasing trend among students who are passionately engaged in filming short videos on campus with smartphones. While it is convenient for us to record our campus life and share amusing moments with creative short videos, excessive addiction to them will undoubtedly distract us from academic tasks, disrupt others’ normal life and even invade personal privacy potentially. To avoid these problems, I suggest shooting at the right time and place and we should follow school rules and respect others’ feelings. Furthermore, it is recommended that we students should make our videos creatively and responsibly to preserve precious memories and spread positive energy. Most importantly, it is crucial for us to strike a balance between filming short videos and managing our study efficiently,limiting our screen time and prioritizing our own learning and growth. To sum up, filming short videos on campus is more than creativity and entertainment--it is a golden chance to gain self-improvement and personal growth! Thanks for your listening. 例文③ My views on filming short videos on campus Good morning, dear classmates! Today, I’d like to share my thoughts on the phenomenon of filming short videos on campus. While I acknowledge that short videos can be a creative way to record campus life and share memorable moments, there are also some concerns worth addressing. On one hand, filming short videos allows us to capture beautiful scenes, such as the sunset over the campus lake or the lively atmosphere of sports events. It can also help us relieve stress and express our creativity. However, on the other hand, some students film videos during class or study time, which not only distracts themselves but also affects others’ learning. Moreover, filming without permission may invade others’ privacy. To balance creativity and responsibility, I have a few suggestions. First, let’s designate specific areas and times for filming, such as the school garden during breaks. Second, always ask for consent before filming others. Finally, respect the learning environment and avoid filming during class. In conclusion, short videos can be a positive tool if used appropriately. Let’s be responsible creators and enjoy the beauty of campus life while focusing on our studies. Thank you! 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生就“在校园用手机拍摄短视频”这一话题发表自己的看法，写一篇演讲稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 想法：thought → perspective 缺点：disadvantage → shortcoming/drawback 方法：way → approach 打扰：disturb → interrupt 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：On the one hand, it’s a great way to record beautiful moments and express creativity. 拓展句：On the one hand, it serves as an excellent means through which students can capture beautiful moments and showcase their creativity. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I believe it has both advantages and disadvantages.（运用了省略that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】On the other hand, it may distract students from their studies and invade others’ privacy, which has a seriously bad influence on students.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 67．参考范文 I really wanted those sneakers, yet I knew Mrs. Thompson was in a tough spot. Alex kept looking at me with begging eyes. I felt so torn, my mind full of a mix of guilt and longing. The picture of the cool sneakers kept appearing in my head, but so did Mrs. Thompson’s sad expression. After what seemed like a really long time of struggling inside myself, I took a deep breath and nodded at Alex. We quickly figured out how much money we could give without using up all our savings. With hearts beating fast, we walked up to Mrs. Thompson with some savings. When we held out the money to her, her eyes opened wide in shock. We told her it was the least we could do and we hoped she could soon go through the hard time. Her thankfulness was really strong, and she gave us both a big hug. In that moment, I realized that the happiness of helping her was much greater than the short-lived excitement of getting those sneakers. The experience taught me that real value isn’t in things we own but in the relationships we make and the kindness we show. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了作者和好友Alex帮助邻居Mrs. Thompson搬家并得知她因存储费用陷入困境。作者在购买心仪运动鞋的渴望与帮助邻居的道德之间挣扎，最终决定与Alex一起拿出积蓄帮助Mrs. Thompson。这次经历让作者明白了帮助他人的快乐远胜于物质享受，体会到真正的价值在于人际关系和善良。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我真的想要那些运动鞋，但我知道Thompson夫人处境艰难。”可知，第一段可描写作者内心对于买运动鞋和帮助Thompson夫人的纠结，以及最终决定帮助Thompson夫人的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们怀着紧张的心情，拿着一些积蓄走向Thompson夫人。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Alex把钱给Thompson夫人后，Thompson夫人的反应以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索： 渴望——困境——挣扎——帮助——感动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①盯着看：look at/stare at ②度过：go through/get through ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①震惊：shock/astonishment ②感激：thankfulness/gratitude 【点睛】[高分句型1] After what seemed like a really long time of struggling inside myself, I took a deep breath and nodded at Alex. （句中含有what引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] In that moment, I realized that the happiness of helping her was much greater than the short-lived excitement of getting those sneakers.（句中含有that引导宾语从句） 附：听力原文： 1． 【原文】M: I think we should plant something fast-growing here.

M: Well, you should probably read this book, the bestseller of this year, written by J. K. Simmons. He is a professor who just transferred here last semester, but he is popular among students for his creative teaching methods. There is an extensive range of learning approaches mentioned in the book, including approaches for team research, which might be helpful to you. W: You mean dividing the students into groups to do research? It's interesting. M: I really love this book. Through it you will know how to increase cooperation between students and help them develop their own voice and perspective. That’s what this book focuses on. W: I’ll check out the book as soon as possible. 18．~20． 【原文】 W: A new report says sleeping with the light on could be bad for our health. Researchers said around 40 percent of people sleep with some sort of artificial light. They said even light from a television or an alarm clock could affect our health. Sleeping without any light is more difficult for people who live in cities, where there is a lot of outdoor light at night. The researchers are from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, U.S.A. The lead researcher, Dr. Phyllis Zee, is an expert in sleep medicine. Her team conducted a study of the blood sugar levels of 20 people after nights of sleep. The people who slept with a light on had higher blood sugar levels the next morning compared to those who slept in total darkness. Dr. Zee said this is because light stimulates brain activity, which raises blood sugar levels. She said there are three things we can do to reduce the risk of illness; turn off the lights, use a light-blocking curtain and wear an eye mask. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。I think we should plant something fast growing here.

Time zones and public holidays are obvious mismatches. But it’s email that causes the real headache. Living in Bangkok, I jump between Line, a popular instant communication application, and Gmail, an email service platform, and sometimes get tangled up in the middle, missing emails considered urgent in one timezone and sending emails considered unnecessary in the other. I arrived at a meeting in the Thai capital recently to find that the email I had sent from the taxi to excuse my traffic-related lateness had become a point of discussion around the water cooler. “He sent an email to explain that he was going to be five minutes late? How sweet.” Embarrassment aside, it was a useful reminder of Southeast Asian norms and expectations. Pretty much everyone is late for meetings in Bangkok, so only serious delays require a message-and email is reserved for emergency cancellations. When my colleagues from London came to visit, I had to explain communication preferences to them. “You need to download Line from Application Store.” Over here, email feels awkward and business-like and more formal: the modern equivalent of a dusty Post Office box that gets checked and cleared into the dustbin every now and again. But Line suits this part of the world, where communication is personal, relationship-based. There are drawbacks, of course. Line IDs are often nicknames or emojis so finding old contacts can demand either a sharp memory or a lot of scrolling. There is no real system for saving messages either, which means the HR and legal teams in London and Paris are often concerned. However, relying less on email does not mean we abandon a rules-based system. Changing status “On holiday” works just like a regular out-of-office email and formal things are done in person with a paper record. The world might feel smaller thanks to technology, but cultural differences in communication continue to exist, serving as a constant source of freshness and moments of insight for those who venture abroad. It’s part of what makes travelling and working abroad so rewarding. 24．What does the author find the most challenging? A．Traveling between time zones. B．Arranging proper holidays. C．Sending work emails. D．Downloading Line. 25．Why did the author’s email become a point of discussion? A．It was sent to the wrong person. B．It was considered needless by people. C．It contained embarrassing information. D．It was canceled at the last minute. 26．Why does the author mention the “dusty Post Office box”? A．To illustrate email is too official and rarely-used. B．To describe the charm of traditional mail service. C．To emphasize the trouble of checking dusty mails. D．To explain the development of communication tools. 27．What’s the author’s attitude towards cultural differences in communication? A．Critical and worried. B．Indifferent and neutral. C．Positive and appreciative. D．Confused and frustrated. C Zhang Peidong, a professor from the Ocean University of China, has been diving for 16 years, exploring the underwater ‌“grasslands” covered with seagrass. These seagrass beds are essential habitats for sea life. However, human activities and changes in the environment have caused a big drop in seagrass beds around the world. In 2008, Zhang and his colleague Li Wentao found a worrying situation in Rongcheng Bay, a key area for seagrass beds in China. The number of overwintering swans had dropped sharply because of the loss of seagrass, a main food source. Faced with this ecological crisis, Zhang and Li changed their research focus from aquaculture (水产养殖) to seagrass bed restoration, an area that had received little attention at the time. Their efforts were supported by a Weihai-based company, which provided free workshops, office space, housing, and workers for the research team. The company’s general manager noted that many employees, being children of fishermen, were eager to contribute to the restoration efforts. After years of hard work, the research team developed a way to grow eelgrass seedlings artificially. By understanding the growth patterns and the best seed collection times, they managed to reduce the growing period from nearly three months to just 10 days. The team also created several sets of equipment with independent intellectual property rights to improve planting efficiency. Over the past 16 years, the research team has taken part in more than 10 seagrass bed restoration projects in China, covering over 1,333 hectares in the Yellow and Bohai Seas. Their efforts have led to the recovery of more than 40% of the seagrass beds in Swan Lake, attracting more swans to the area. The restoration technology has also been used in other provinces, such as Hebei and Liaoning, significantly improving local water quality and biodiversity. The team’s commitment to seagrass bed restoration has brought new life to underwater ecosystems and set a positive example for ecological conservation efforts globally. Their work highlights the importance of protecting marine habitats and the potential for joint efforts between academia and industry to address environmental challenges. 28．What led to the decline of the overwintering swans? A．Loss of food sources like seagrass. B．habitat loss due to human activities. C．Increased hunting and lead poisoning. D．Climate change and warmer winters. 29．How did the team help restore the underwater grassland? A．By protecting existing seagrass beds. B．By creating new equipment for planting. C．By shortening the growth period of eelgrass. D．By developing artificial cultivation technology. 30．Why are the statistics used in Paragraph 4? A．To show the effectiveness of the restoration efforts. B．To stress the importance of protecting seagrass beds. C．To highlight the challenges faced by the researchers. D．To compare the success of different restoration projects. 31．What does the last paragraph imply? A．Seagrass restoration is the only solution. B．The team’s efforts are globally recognized. C．Cooperation aids environmental protection. D．Underwater ecosystem remains vital to humans. D Philosophers have a bad reputation for expressing themselves in a dry and boring way. The ideals for most philosophical writing are precision, clarity, and the sort of conceptual analysis that leaves no hair un-split. There is nothing wrong with clarity, precision, and the like-but this isn’t the only way to do philosophy. Outside academic journals, abstract philosophical ideas are often expressed through literature, cinema, and song. There’s nothing that grabs attention like a good story, and there are some great philosophical stories that delight and engage, rather than putting the reader to sleep. One of the great things about this is that, unlike formal philosophy, which tries to be very clear, stories don’t wear their meanings on their sleeve— they require interpretation, and often express conflicting ideas for the reader to wrestle with. Consider what philosophers call the metaphysics (形而上学) of race—an area of philosophy that explores the question of whether or not race is real. There are three main positions that you can take on these questions. You might think that a person’s race is written in their genes (a position known as “biological realism”). Or you might think of race as socially real, like days of the week or currencies (“social constructionism”). Finally, you might think that races are unreal— that they’re more like leprechauns (一种魔法精灵) than they are like Thursdays or dollars (“anti-realism”). A great example of a story taking on race is George S. Schuyler’s novel Black No More. In the book, a Black scientist named Crookman invents a procedure that makes Black people visually indistinguishable from Whites. Thousands of African Americans flock to Crookman’s Black No More clinics and pay him their hard-earned cash to undergo the procedure. White racists can no longer distinguish those people who are “really” White from those who merely appear to be White. In a final episode, Crookman discovers that new Whites are actually a whiter shade of pale than those who were born that way, which kicks off a trend of sunbathing to darken one’s skin— darkening it so as to look more White. Philosophically rich stories like this bring more technical works to life. They are stories to think with. 32．What is the impression formal philosophy leaves on people according to Paragraph 1? A．Dull. B．Engaging. C．Thought-provoking. D．Depressing. 33．Which is the distinction of philosophical stories? A．They give precise conceptual analysis. B．They interpret ideas formally and clearly. C．They seldom express conflicting ideas. D．They stimulate interest and critical thinking. 34．Which category might “Black No More” in Paragraph 5 fall into? A．Racial issues caused by skin colors. B．A society view on race and self-image. C．Black people accepted by the white society. D．The origin of sunbathing among white people. 35．What is the best title for the text? A．Stories Made Easy B．Positions in Philosophy C．Stories to Think with D．Nature of Philosophical Writing 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。 I love thinking about teams. I love thinking about how to create an environment that will make a group of people want to be on the team. I love considering the best ways to build a great team. Here is one of my favorite team concepts: the sign of a great team is not the absence of conflict. Rather, the sign of a great team is the ability to resolve conflict. 36 But our ability to consistently resolve that conflict impacts the kind of team we have more than any other variable. If we learn how to resolve the conflict, the team will be together for very long. Now, the “how” is the hardest part of conflict resolution. 37 But in my experience, the key aspect of consistent conflict resolution comes down to listening and respect. When we listen to each other and respect the opposing perspective (视角), we can have reasonable dialogue. 38 That we listen to and respect other perspectives does not mean we always have to agree. 39 That's fine. But simple listening skills and demonstrations of respect are at the heart of consistent and reasonable conflict resolution. Great teams are not on the same page all the time. 40 So when you are trying to build a great team or when you think you have one and want to keep it great, spend some time thinking about how you will handle those difficult moments when the team is not on the same page. A．We can still agree to disagree. B．But great teams know how to get there. C．The best relationships take time and effort. D．It is always complex and often requires multiple steps. E．Then we are likely to be on our way to eventual resolution. F．People on a team often work together towards a common goal. G．That is because even the best teams unavoidable have conflict. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 It was January 2016, when dark clouds hid the day.

Twenty teams from top universities and tech firms participated, with six robots 57 (complete) the 21-kilometer race. The winner, Tiangong Ultra, finished it in just 2 hours and 40 minutes. This groundbreaking competition represented a crucial transition from controlled laboratory testing to real-world application. Unlike artificial lab environments, the marathon’s unpredictable outdoor conditions tested the robots’ adaptability and 58 (endure) capabilities. Beyond sports, such robots are already in use — for example, the specialized inspection robots developed by China Southern Power Grid, can operate 59 (reliable) in temperature extremes ranging from -40°C to 80°C while maintaining power lines in remote 60 (mountain) regions. Since the beginning of this year, Chinese tech giants like Xiaomi and Huawei, well aware of the opportunities, 61 (join) forces with automotive leaders including Tesla and Toyota in 62 has become an international race to advance this technology. However, experts caution that 63 rapid progress, significant technical hurdles remain. Most robots currently operate at Level 2 autonomy but achieving Level 4 — full independence — needs breakthroughs in AI decision-making. For students considering future careers in technology, humanoid robotics represents one of the most exciting and promising fields 64 may transform industries and daily life. The successful Beijing marathon serves as both a testament to how far we have come and a preview of the remarkable innovations still   65 (come). 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分) 第一节（满分15分) 66．假定你是李华, 你将参加英语课上的一分钟演讲活动。请你针对部分同学在校园内用手机拍摄短视频的现象写一篇演讲稿。内容包括： (1)陈述看法； (2)提出建议。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My views on filming short videos on campus _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分) 67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Yesterday, my friend Alex and I noticed our next-door neighbor, Mrs. Thompson, looking unusually stressed as she walked in and out of her house. Her car was parked messily in the driveway, and she seemed to be in a hurry. We decided to ask if she needed any help. As we walked over, she was struggling to carry a large box. I offered to take it from her, and she gratefully handed it to me. She explained that she was moving some of her late(已故的) husband’s things to a storage unit. Her voice trembled as she mentioned her husband, and I could see the pain in her eyes. Over the next few hours, Alex and I helped her load more boxes into her car. We listened as she shared stories full of love about her husband and the life they had together. It was clear that this was a very emotional time for her. Mrs. Thompson thanked us for the timely help, and for a moment, her face seemed to relax a bit. However, later in the day, things took a turn. As we were about to leave, we overheard Mrs. Thompson on the phone. She was arguing with someone about money. It seemed that there were some unexpected bills related to the storage unit, and she was worried about how she would pay them. Alex immediately suggested that we pool our savings to help her, but I hesitated. I had been saving up for a new pair of sneakers(运动鞋) for a long time, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready to give that up. The sneakers were limited edition, and I had been eyeing them for months. 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。 I really wanted those sneakers, yet I knew Mrs. Thompson was in a tough spot. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With hearts beating fast, we walked up to Mrs. Thompson with some savings. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
