Her hands 11 held the wooden seat while other children’s laughter was ringing around her. Last time she was here in this park, she could still 12 . That was three years ago. She remembered the first day Sunny entered her life. The large golden retriever (金毛猎犬) walked towards her slowly and quietly sat beside her 13 understanding her nervousness. Sunny’s 14 already made her world a little brighter. They were always together during their training days. And they even developed their own 15 —his body in front of her meant danger ahead, his happy bark 16 a clear path, and his gentle lean (依靠) against her leg became their secret words for “I’m here with you.” One fine afternoon, “Ready to try walking outside?” their trainer asked gently. Jane nodded, her hand 17 Sunny’s harness (牵引绳). “Forward, boy,” she whispered, feeling the familiar harness in her hand as he stood ready. Sunny moved slowly, avoiding things in the street. With each step Sunny took, Jane’s own 18 grew. The dog would pause before steps, waiting for Jane to find the edge with her foot. Suddenly, Sunny stopped completely, his body 19 hers. Jane heard bicycle wheels rushing by. “Good boy,” she said, scratching (挠) behind his ears exactly where he liked it. This was their 20 —her scratching, his tail waving against her leg. Halfway through their walk, Jane suddenly 21 . She could hear the playground ahead—the place she once loved but now feared. Sunny, sensing her feeling, turned and leaned against her leg. Taking a deep breath, Jane whispered, “Find the swing, Sunny.” The dog led her straight to the empty swing set. As Jane sat on the 22 swing, tears 23 her eyes, but these were tears of joy. For the first time in three years, she felt independent and hopeful. That afternoon, Jane didn’t need her eyes to see. Through Sunny’s lead, she discovered something even more 24 —freedom and courage. And Sunny, resting his head on her feet, knew he could give his new partner the greatest 25 : the confidence to move forward, one step at a time.

As for it, everyone is different. I’ll share some of my experiences. I once took a school-year English lesson in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English alone. ②One thing I can tell you is that once you’ve started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say it in English?” At first, it might be with easy words or phrases (短语), but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I’m in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it out. You can’t imagine how much this helps. ③For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn’t want to make mistakes. Finally, I got over it. And while traveling in America, I’d try to spend time with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided not to be afraid of saying anything silly. After that, my English started improving much more quickly. ④Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement. ( )26．Why does the writer talk about “riding your bike or walking down the street” in Paragraph 2? A．To give examples. B．To compare the two ways. C．To teach sentences. D．To show strangers the way. ( )27．What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3? A．Don’t laugh at others. B．Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. C．Learn to spend time with friends. D．Make a good choice when traveling. ( )28．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． B Many of you maybe had this experience: you get on a train and are ready to take a nap or read a book, only to find that the young man in front of you is watching a TV show on his smartphone without headphones. The child next to you won’t stop crying. And the old lady behind you talks on her phone during the whole trip. Wish the train could be less noisy? The Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway, one of China’s busiest high-speed rail lines, will have “quiet” carriages (车厢) starting from 23 December, Xinhua reported. In quiet carriages, on-board videos will be muted (静音) and announcements will be made lower. Doors at the ends of the carriages will be kept closed to reduce noise from other carriages, CGTN noted. Train attendants will be responsible for making sure that passengers keep quiet and follow the rules. Passengers who are willing to obey the rules can choose the quiet carriages when booking their tickets, according to China’s national railway operator. Some people have pointed out that this kind of quiet environment should be offered in all carriages. They say that having quiet carriages might give people the impression that they don’t need to be quiet in non-quiet carriages. Some Internet users uphold the new service, but it also has discussion about just how quiet travellers should be in quiet carriages. Many people have asked questions such as “What if I snore (打鼾)?” and “Can we talk to our travel companions (同伴) if we need to?” ( )29．From the first paragraph we can know that ________. A．travelling by train is very comfortable B．people can do anything on trains C．many people like to read books on trains D．people on trains are sometimes very noisy ( )30．How will quiet carriages work? A．Passengers won’t be allowed to watch videos. B．Train attendants won’t make any announcements. C．No one will make sure passengers follow the rules. D．The doors at the ends of carriages will stay closed. ( )31．What does the underlined word “uphold” in the last paragraph mean? A．protect B．support C．improve D．dislike ( )32．What do we know from the last two paragraphs? A．The rules should be made clearer. B．Most people don’t like the service. C．The service is better for travelling with friends. D．It’s easy to make all the carriages completely quiet. C From May to November, six beach houses have fallen down in North Carolina’s Outer Banks—a troubling sign of how erosion (侵蚀) continues to put a toll on the state’s coastal villages. The most recent collapse (倒塌) happened between last Thursday and Friday after a storm caused powerful waves along Rodanthe. The house was empty, and officials have been in contact with the house owner. Less than a mile away, three other homes had fallen down in September. Since 2020, a total of 11 houses in the area have been washed away into the ocean. Cape Hatteras National Seashore said strong winds, large waves, as well as rising sea levels—which are caused by climate change—are causing beaches on the Outer Banks to wash away. “Many buildings close to the beach in Rodanthe are either partially or fully covered with ocean water on a regular basis,” the Seashore said. It’s a problem faced by coastal communities around the country. In North Carolina, over 750 homes along the state’s beaches are considered in danger from erosion, according to an August report released by the state’s Department of Environmental Quality and Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Erosion in these coastal villages affects tourism and destroys sea turtles’ home, and when homes fall down, it leaves ruins (废墟). The situation is expected to worsen as a result of rising sea levels and more coastal storms. National Seashore officials have warned owners of unsafe houses to either strengthen their home’s supports or move to a safer location if possible. ( )33．What does the underlined phrase “put a toll on” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Cause damage to. B．Give way to. C．Bring more people to. D．Make more contributions to. ( )34．What might put the beach houses in danger? A．The daily effects of winds and waves. B．The loss of wildlife’s home. C．The ruins of houses left on beaches. D．The weak structure of the houses. ( )35．What can we know about the most recent collapse? A．Six houses were washed away. B．It happened because a storm hit. C．It resulted in many people missing. D．Police failed to contact the house owner. ( )36．What should be done according to the local officials? A．Take measures to control rising sea levels. B．Solve the problem by protecting the ecosystem. C．Reduce the effect on tourism by clearing the ruins. D．Strengthen the house structure or move to new places. D Every year, as the Lunar New Year approaches, China witnesses the world's largest annual human migration: the Spring Festival travel rush, or Chunyun. For about 40 days, nearly 3 billion passenger trips​ are made across the country. This phenomenon is not merely about transportation; it is a complex social event rooted in tradition, driven by economics, and shaped by modern technology. The primary force behind Chunyun is the deep-seated cultural tradition of family reunion. The Spring Festival is the most important holiday in Chinese culture, symbolizing a fresh start and the renewal of family bonds. For centuries, people have to return home to celebrate with their families, no matter the distance. However, the scale of modern Chunyun is a direct product of China's economic transformation. Since the reform and opening-up, a massive internal migrant workforce, estimated at nearly 300 million people, has moved from rural areas to coastal cities for better job opportunities. These migrant workers, along with students and professionals working far from their hometowns, form the core participants of this great migration. Their exodus from economic centers to hometowns creates a tidal wave of travel demand that strains every transportation system to its limit. In recent years, technology has begun to reshape the Chunyun experience. The introduction of online ticket booking systems has ended the era of overnight queues at railway stations, though the competition for tickets remains fierce, especially for the most popular routes. Real-time navigation apps help travelers avoid the worst traffic jams on highways. Moreover, the rise of high-speed rail has been a game-changer. Its extensive network now carries a significant portion of passengers, compressing journeys that once took a full day into just a few hours and greatly increasing transportation capacity. Despite these improvements, challenges persist. The concentration of travel demand in such a short period creates immense pressure, leading to crowded stations, sold-out tickets, and traffic congestion. In response, the government and transport authorities implement special Chunyun plans each year, adding temporary train services, increasing flight frequencies, and managing highway traffic flow. Ultimately, Chunyun is a mirror reflecting China's societal values and development. It highlights the enduring strength of family ties, the economic disparities between regions, the sacrifices of the migrant population, and the nation's technological and infrastructural progress in connecting its people. ( )37.The passage states that Chunyun is a "complex social event." Which of the following combinations of factors best supports this description? A. Family tradition and holiday foods. B. Cultural tradition, economic patterns, and technological solutions. C. Population growth and new year's resolutions. D. Weather conditions and vacation schedules. ( )38.In the fourth paragraph, the word "game-changer" is used to describe the impact of high-speed rail. What is the closest meaning of this term as used in the passage? A. A new rule in a competition. B. A factor that completely changes the way a situation develops. C. A person who loves playing sports. D. A temporary solution to a simple problem. ( )39.According to the passage, what is the primary cause of the enormous scale of the modern Spring Festival travel rush? A. The invention of the airplane and the car. B. The widespread use of smartphones and booking apps. C. The large-scale internal migration of workers from rural to urban areas for jobs. D. The government's policy of extending the holiday period. ( )40.The final paragraph serves mainly to: A. Introduce a new argument about the future of transportation. B. Provide a specific example of a traveler's personal story. C. Criticize the problems caused by the travel rush. D. Summarize the key societal aspects reflected by the Chunyun phenomenon. 第二节：阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 Planning a vacation can be an exciting experience. It’s like opening the door to a world full of new adventures and wonderful memories. 41 This is an important step for the trip. Do you want to escape to a warm, sunny beach where you can enjoy the sun and swim in the clear blue waters? Or are you going to a cold, snowy place where you can enjoy winter sports like skiing and snowboarding? At this stage, the Internet becomes your best friend. 42 There are countless travel websites and blogs that offer detailed descriptions, beautiful pictures, and even reviews from other travellers.

And water levels in the huge Colorado River were dropping rapidly. This was the b 46 of a serious drought. Everyone began asking, “How long will it last?” Meko believed that he could find the answer in the trees. Meko is a tree-ring expert. He finds that these rings are nature’s r 47 of rainfall and climate change. Each year, a tree adds a new layer of wood. These layers look like a series of rings. During times of h 48 rainfall, a ring is wide. When there is a shortage of water, a ring is narrow. Meko and his team quickly started a new research project. Their g 49 was to find out how long previous droughts lasted. The team collected as many old wood samples as possible. They tested wood samples from 1,200 years ago u 50 the present. When they examined the rings, the news about rainfall in the past was not good. Meko’s research showed that the 20th century was an unusually w 51 time. Trees from this period had wide, healthy rings. Rain was plentiful during that century, millions of people moved to the region. Before that time, however, the rings showed that droughts happened on a regular basis (有规律地). In fact, drought was p 52 of the usual climate pattern. There were severe (极为恶劣的) droughts in the 900s, the 1100s, and the Late 1200s. Human history seems to s 53 Meko’s findings. The native Anasazi lived in this area for hundreds of years, starting around 500 AD．They were farmers and depended on water to grow their crops. H 54 , at the end of the 13th century, the Anasazi suddenly left the area. Experts think it was because there was no longer enough water to farm. Meko’s tree rings clearly show a serious drought at that time. How long will the current (当下的) drought l 55 ? Using nature’s clues from the past, experts predict that this drought may continue for another 50 years. 5、 选词填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 从方框中选择恰当的词或短语并用其正确的形式填空（每个词或短语只能用一次） conversation, easy, satisfaction, remain, everywhere, take on; allow, important, connect, skill Lifelong learning is like a never-ending journey of discovery that continues long after we finish formal schooling.
