C Centuries ago, the music of the Hizay language filled the air across a territory of rough islands, windswept beaches and thick forests. And then, the lands in western Canada fell quiet. Wars with neighbouring nations and disease brought the language to the edge of disappearing. Today, only seventy fluent speakers remain. In some faraway communities, where they don’t have high schools, students are moved hundreds of kilometres away to large cities to complete their studies, away from their families and their land. And so the loss continues on there. Mamakwa is a Hizay, who was punished for speaking his mother tongue in school. Last year, he became the first provincial lawmaker to give a speech in Toronto legislature (立法机构). More than 1000 guests attended. “The community leaders there had tears in their eyes, just because they were hearing their language in a place where it was never supposed to be spoken,” he said. Now, Mamakwa is focusing his attention on the systems that reduce the ability to speak the first languages of the land. Recently, there is a cheerful sense of hope. The community is making greater efforts than ever before to save this language. New resources have been poured into preservation and education, including collecting vast information from the fluent speakers. Therefore, Hizay culture is being normalized for kids in a much deeper way now than it ever was before. “At present, our language is growing. There are words changing and appearing to show the new way that we live and work. That’s really a good thing,” said Mamakwa. 8. Why did the Hizay language almost disappear? A. Because of wars and illnesses. B. Because there were no teachers for it. C. Because students left their villages for study. D. Because it was not allowed to spoken in schools. 9. What moved the community leaders in Toronto legislature? A. They were touched by Mamakwa’s words. B. So many people came to listen to the speech. C. They were glad Mamakwa became a lawmaker. D. They heard their native language spoken outside their birthplace. 10. What do the underlined words“normalized”mean in paragraph 4? A. made easy to learn. B. made more interesting. C. made a common part of life. D. made known to more people. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Disappearing Sounds: Hizay’s Sad Story. B. Mamakwa’s Historic Speech: A Moment in Toronto. C. A Voice Once Silenced: A Speech That Made History. D. From Punishment to Pride: Reviving the Hizay Language. D Decision fatigue (决策疲劳) means the quality of decisions goes down after a long period of decision-making. It is caused by the limited mental energy we have for making choices each day. While many of us believe we are logical beings capable of weighing every option carefully, decision fatigue shows how our mental resources can be used up over time. One of the key studies on this phenomenon was conducted in the context of parole hearings (假释听证会). Researchers found that judges were more likely to say yes to parole early in the day or after a meal break. As the day progressed and the judges made more decisions, they were increasingly likely to stick with their earlier decisions, saying no to parole simply because it required less mental effort. Decision fatigue affects not only major life choices but also everyday decisions. For instance, people often report struggling to decide what to eat for dinner after a long day. Similarly, too many choices, such as when looking through streaming platforms or online stores, can leave individuals feeling confused, leading them to give up on the process entirely or settle for a less satisfying option. To overcome decision fatigue, some well-known figures have adopted strategies to simplify their daily routines. For example, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Albert Einstein was known for owning several similar suits to avoid wasting energy on deciding what to wear each day. Understanding decision fatigue can help us structure our lives more effectively. Putting important decisions earlier in the day or setting up routines to minimize unnecessary choices are strategies to save mental energy. By managing our mental resources wisely, we can make good decisions and reduce the stress that comes with too many choices. 12. What leads to decision fatigue according to the text? A. The requirement of making right decisions. B. The difficulty of making logical choices. C. The stress from making important decisions. D. The limited mental energy for decision-making. 13. What does the study on parole hearings show? A. Decision fatigue can lead to unfair results. B. Judges are much stricter after long breaks. C. Fatigue causes judges to avoid hard cases. D. Judges need more breaks to make better decisions. 14. What does the author suggest readers shopping online do? A. Make quick decisions. B. Compare different products. C. Limit the number of choices. D. Choose the most popular products. 15. What is the purpose of adopting routines? A. To reduce the stress of daily work. B. To increase decision-making quality. C. To learn more strategies to live a better life. D. To create more decision-making chances. 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。 Junior Alvarado, a high school student in Washington Leadership Academy, often struggled in his math classes and earned poor grades. The teachers in the school used computer programs to identify the areas he was weak in and design a learning plan just for him. “They explain the problem step by step at your speed.” said the 15-year-old, “Now I feel better about my math skills.” 16 This idea has been gaining in popularity in recent years. Personalized learning is a way of teaching which focuses on the interests and needs of individual students instead of entire classes as a whole. It includes flexible learning environments and specially--designed education plans. 17 In that way, they are able to master subjects at their own speed. Joseph Webb, headmaster of the school, says the digital tools help teachers identify problems students are facing before they become too serious. “We can solve them right then and there. 18 ” he said. Still, many researchers say it is too early to tell if personalized learning works better than traditional teaching. 19 It found only a 3 -- percent improvement in math and even smaller improvements in reading compared to traditional teaching methods. In addition, experts in children’s health warn that the overuse of technology can damage face - to - face relationships and young people’s interest in physical activity. 20 Marla Kilfoyle, a teacher in a public high school, admits that technology can be helpful in the classroom in many ways. But she argues that no computer program should ever replace the personal touch, support and inspiration teachers give their students. A.Some teachers have their doubts as well. B. Students can decide what and how they learn. C. Personalized learning allows students to learn better. D. And we don’t have to wait for the problems to come to us. E. Traditional teaching methods should be replaced by digital tools in schools. F: A recent study found that personalized learning only led to small improvements. G: The use of technology in schools is part of a larger idea of personalized learning. 第三部分 语言运用（共二节，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。 On 17 March, 476 students and 36 teachers at Falmont Primary School escaped an earthquake that 21 the country at 2:27 p.m. Alice Brown, head teacher at Falmont Primary School, was 22 when the floor began to shake.

He asked me to help with his group who provided musical performances at the local hospitals. At first, I was unwilling to go because of my unfinished homework, but I was finally persuaded into helping out this one time, which turned out to be an unforgettable experience. That evening, I went to a local hospital with Peter, hoping I could sing some songs with his musical group. An extremely large hospital came into our sight and we were warmly guided into the hall. We were shocked to find so many patients and staff there, and what we saw next aroused our sympathy(同情). Some were in wheelchairs; some had their arms wrapped in bandages; some looked pale; some wore expressions of anxiety.Their days here seemed to be dull, so our coming brought some color into their lives. Seeing their excited faces, I thought it was worthwhile to join Peter’s group. Among the audience, I noticed a girl aged about 16, who was wearing a head scarf(围巾) and appeared to be more delighted than others. When we started our performance, excitement filled the hall. They all cheered for us loudly, including the girl. I also noticed the girl was singing along with all our songs. At a break, I asked one of the nurses about the girl.

Besides, she was afraid of messing it up. However, after my constant encouragement, she finally made up her mind to give it a shot as part of our group. Surprisingly, her soft and melodious voice made her performance a great success. All the audience burst into deafening applause and cheers which lasted for several minutes at the end of her performance. After her performance, I saw a change in the girl’s eyes. They seemed much brighter than before and she seemed to be more excited. When I said “Thank you!” to her, a bright  smile spread across her face and she said gently, “It’s you that made my day!” Hearing this, I felt so lucky that I didn’t miss the opportunity to help others. Not only did stepping out give me a chance to help those in need, but it also allowed me to taste the sweetness of helping others. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
