Brian is a very silly, funny student. What he loves most is to make people laugh. All his friends love his jokes, and even the teachers think he is very funny. Brian knows that comedy is what he likes best.
When he hears about the school’s talent show, he decides to sign up so that he can share his comedy from the stage. He has never done real stand-up comedy before, and he is very excited. But when some of the students find out he will take part, they laugh at him. Brian thinks it does not feel very good when someone laughs at him in a mean way!
Brian cannot understand why they are being so unkind to him. For a moment, he thinks about telling the talent show organizers he will not attend. But then he remembers how much his friends and teachers like his jokes. He makes up his mind to go ahead and prepare his comedy routine (表演) for the talent show.
Brian decides to do a great job at the talent show to prove to the mean students that they are wrong. Everyone loves his routine, and he wins first prize! Even so, the same students tell Brian he is foolish and that he will never be a successful comedian. Brian just shakes his head and wonders what their problem is. He does not understand, but he realizes that it has nothing to do with him. He happily continues to work towards his goal.
As the years go on, Brian meets more people like that. Luckily, they are the minority, and as he works hard to become a comedian, most of the people he meets encourage him and help him to become even funnier. He gets more and more opportunities to perform, and he is even invited to appear on television and act in movies.

Music festivals are highly popular events during the summer months, attracting thousands of festival-goers who camp on-site. However, the question arises as to whether the tents left behind can be recycled.
While some festival organizers claim that they recycle the tents, the answer is not so straightforward. Every year, thousands of tents are thrown away at festivals, and it’s not just post-festival laziness or poor weather that is to blame. According to a recent survey, many festival-goers leave their tents behind because they believe they will be donated to charities. But unfortunately, this is only wishful thinking.
Matt Wedge, the director of Festival Waste Reclamation & Distribution, says that the number of tents left behind is increasing, estimating that around 20% of the tents at Leeds Festival were thrown away, which amounted to about 7,000 tents. He adds that the number of abandoned tents in Reading and Leicester festivals doubles, meaning that 14,000 tents could have been thrown away.
In terms of addressing this problem, one popular idea is to employ a tent deposit scheme (押金方案). Under this scheme, festival-goers would pay a deposit to bring their tent to the festival, which would be returned to them if they take their tent home. “A similar thing happens with litter. Some festivals make attendees (参加者) pay a £10 ‘eco bond’, which will be returned to them if they fill up a bag of rubbish and hand it in at the end of the festival,” Wedge says.
The shocking images of abandoned tents are more than just a comment on the environmental impacts of the festival itself. They are in fact a dramatic symbol of our throwaway culture. Just as images of clean fields at Glastonbury represent a refreshing sign of hope, the final message is to make it a habit to take your tent home at least. It’s the best thing people can do.
8.Why are tents left behind after music festivals according to the recent survey?
A.Most of the tents are of poor quality.
B.Some people are too lazy to take the tents home.
C.Poor weather makes it difficult to recycle the tents.
D.Many people mistakenly think the tents will be donated.
9.What can we learn from the numbers listed in paragraph 3?
A.There is an increasing demand for tents.
B.A large number of tents are thrown away.
C.Making tents needs a fair amount of energy.
D.Festival tickets are more expensive than tents.
10.What’s paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.How charities deal with the tents.
B.How to attract more festival-goers.
C.How to reduce rubbish and tents after festivals.
D.How people view rubbish and tents at festivals.
11.What does the author intend to do by writing the text?
A.Stress the importance of music festivals.
B.Introduce popular music festivals in the world.
C.Make people pay attention to the quality of tents.
D.Call on people to protect the environment at festivals.
I remember it like it was yesterday. My freshman year basketball tryouts (选拔赛) had gone surprisingly well. I completed every pass and earned a spot as a solid bench player (替补球员). Then this happened — I missed an easy shot totally for no reason. The next day I got cut from the team.
“Fail fast and fail often.” The startup world is filled with statements like this. In technology and entrepreneurship (企业家) circles, failure has become something to chase, not avoid. And science is starting to back this up. A Nature study found that among scientists and entrepreneurs, those who ultimately succeeded had actually failed more often than their less-successful fellows. What set them apart wasn’t luck or genius; it was their ability to learn and adapt quickly after each failure.
Sonja Lyubomirsky and Ed Diener, two leading voices in positive psychology, have shown that people who’ve experienced failure sometimes report higher levels of long-term well-being than those who haven’t. Their findings suggest that lasting happiness is fueled less by external wins, like medals or titles, and more by internal sources: purpose, meaningful relationships, and personal growth.
How can we pursue purpose without being consumed by the pain of failure? My suggestion is to rethink purpose, especially “little purpose”, which is about the process, not the outcome. Say you dream of becoming a best-selling writer. That’s wonderful. But even if the book doesn’t make it onto the New York Times list, the act of writing it, of shaping your story, can still be deeply fulfilling.
Perhaps my basketball setback could have been redefined (重新定义). Instead of quitting the team entirely, maybe I could have applied to be the equipment manager. I would have stayed close to the sport I loved, and found meaning without needing to be a top athlete. When success isn’t narrowly defined, failure doesn’t close the door. It opens new ones. In this way, failure truly becomes the new success.
12.Why is the author’s basketball experience mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.To describe the pain of failure. B.To criticize unfair selection system.
C.To introduce the topic of failure. D.To express regret about his performance.
13.What does the study in Nature suggest about successful people?
A.They are more likely to fail. B.They are less adaptable to failure.
C.They gain valuable lessons from failure. D.They work in the field of high-tech.
14.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The short-term joy of success. B.The source of lasting happiness.
C.The most rewarding way of living. D.The balance of feeling good and failure.
15.What is the best title for this text?
A.Why Failure Is the New Success
B.How to Get a Sense of Achievement
C.The Role of Purpose in Personal Growth
D.Humans Learn Better from Direct Experience
How to Build Good Study Habits
Developing good study habits is essential for academic success. It not only helps you learn more effectively but also reduces stress during exams. Here are some practical tips to get you started:
1. Set a fixed study schedule
Our brains work best when we follow a routine. 16 For example, you could study math from 7:00 to 8:30 every evening and English in the morning. Stick to your schedule as much as possible, even on weekends.
2. Create a comfortable study space
Find a quiet, well-lit area where you can focus without distractions. 17 Make sure your study space has all the supplies you need, such as books, notebooks, and stationery. Avoid studying in bed or on the couch, as these places are associated with relaxation.
3. Break tasks into smaller pieces
Large assignments or study goals can feel overwhelming. 18 Instead of trying to finish an entire textbook chapter in one sitting, split it into sections and deal with one at a time. This will make your tasks more manageable and help you stay motivated.
4. Take regular breaks
Studying for hours without stopping can lead to fatigue (疲劳) and reduced concentration. 19 During your break, stretch, drink water, or take a short walk — avoid using your phone or watching TV, as these activities can make it harder to get back to studying.
5. Review and reflect regularly
Learning doesn’t end when you finish studying. 20 Review your notes within 24 hours of learning new materials, and reflect on what you’ve learned. This will help strengthen the information in your memory and identify areas where you need more practice.
With continuous effort, these habits will become second nature and help you achieve your academic goals.
A.This helps your brain get into “study mode” at the right time.
B.It’s important to take short breaks every 45-60 minutes.
C.Many students struggle with maintaining focus during study sessions.
D.Breaking them down into smaller, specific tasks makes a big difference.
E.A cluttered (杂乱的) environment can make it hard to concentrate.
F.You should also ask your teachers for feedback on your progress.
G.Regular review is key to a long-term memory of knowledge.

On the ride home, she 33 her moment of glory repeatedly. She talked about how scared she was when someone took hold of her foot and how 34 the night was.

五、书面表达
47.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。
Amanda and Susie might be sisters, but they’d never got on. You’d think they would, with only two years between them. Yet from the minute Susie was born, Amanda knew the baby resented her.
Now, despite being in their fifties, the hatred was still fresh in their minds. The only thing they had in common was that they both adored their mother. Then one day, when Amanda was in the classroom, teaching a particularly challenging group of teenagers, her father rang with the terrible news that their mother had died suddenly. Both sisters were stricken with grief, but Susie, who’d been looking after her granddaughter when she got the call, was also upset that their father hadn’t informed her first.
Then their father told them about their mother’s will. “She’s left you the painting.” He seemed to be addressing them both the painting — the source of one of their biggest childhood arguments. Their mother had decided that it would be nice to have a photo of both her girls.
“Did Mum leave the portrait to me?” asked Amanda. No, Susie wanted to say. Surely her mother couldn’t have been so biased. “In fact,” replied their father, “she’s left it to both of you.”
“How’s that going to work?” asked Amanda. “We live miles apart.” “Thankfully” muttered Susie. Amanda shot her a displeased look. “The will demands that you each have it for six months and then swap over, for as long as you both live.”
So, every six months Amanda and Susie drove to a service station between their homes and carefully handed over the painting.
Two years passed. The funny thing was that the sisters saw more of each other than they had done for years. Sometimes Susie tried to start a conversation, and Amanda claimed she had to dash. Sometimes it was the other way round.
But then came a bright winter day when Susic turned up for the handover, and her sister wasn’t there. Amanda was often late, but never three hours late. She wasn’t even replying to Susie’s “Where were you” texts.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
All kinds of thoughts ran through Susie’s head as she drove to the hospital.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“I think that’s the first time you’ve ever said those words to me.” Amanda squeezed her sister’s hand.

Just as images of clean fields at Glastonbury represent a refreshing sign of hope, the final message is to make it a habit to take your tent home at least. It’s the best thing people can do.(被遗弃帐篷的令人震惊的画面不仅仅是对音乐节本身对环境影响的评论。它们实际上是我们一次性文化的戏剧性象征。就像格拉斯顿伯里音乐节上干净田野的画面代表着令人耳目一新的希望一样,最终的信息是至少要让人们养成把帐篷带回家的习惯。这是人们能做的最好的事情。)”可知,作者写这篇文章是为了呼吁人们在音乐节上保护环境。故选D。

(我对这件事的记忆就像发生在昨天一样。我大一那年的篮球选拔赛进行得出奇顺利。我每次传球都很到位,成功获得了一个稳定的替补球员名额。可之后发生了这样一件事 —— 我莫名其妙地投丢了一个很容易的球。第二天,我就被球队裁掉了。)”以及第二段中““Fail fast and fail often.” The startup world is filled with statements like this. In technology and entrepreneurship circles, failure has become something to chase, not avoid. And science is starting to back this up. (“快速失败,经常失败。”创业圈里充斥着诸如此类的说法。在科技和企业家圈子中,失败已成为一种值得追求而非回避的东西。而科学也正开始支持这一点。)”可知,作者通过讲述自己篮球选拔赛失败的经历,是为了引出了关于“失败”的话题,为后文讨论失败的意义和价值做铺垫。故选C项。
13.细节理解题。根据第二段中“A Nature study found that among scientists and entrepreneurs, those who ultimately succeeded had actually failed more often than their less-successful fellows. What set them apart wasn’t luck or genius; it was their ability to learn and adapt quickly after each failure. (《自然》杂志的一项研究发现,在科学家和企业家当中,那些最终成功的人实际上比那些不太成功的人失败的次数更多。使他们脱颖而出的不是运气或天赋,而是他们在每次失败后快速学习和适应的能力。)”可知,《自然》杂志的研究表明,成功的人能从失败中吸取宝贵的教训并快速适应。故选C项。
14.主旨大意题。根据第三段“Sonja Lyubomirsky and Ed Diener, two leading voices in positive psychology, have shown that people who’ve experienced failure sometimes report higher levels of long-term well-being than those who haven’t. Their findings suggest that lasting happiness is fueled less by external wins, like medals or titles, and more by internal sources: purpose, meaningful relationships, and personal growth. (积极心理学领域的两位领军人物Sonja Lyubomirsky和Ed Diener的研究表明,经历过失败的人有时比没有经历过失败的人报告的长期幸福感水平更高。他们的研究结果表明,持久的幸福感较少来自外部的胜利,如奖牌或头衔,而更多来自内部源泉:目标、有意义的人际关系和个人成长。)”可知,第三段主要讨论了持久幸福感的来源,即来自内部的目标、有意义的人际关系和个人成长,而非外部的胜利。故选B项。
15.主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第二段中“In technology and entrepreneurship circles, failure has become something to chase, not avoid. And science is starting to back this up. (在科技和创业圈,失败已经成为一种追求,而不是避免。科学也开始支持这一点。)”以及最后一段中“When success isn’t narrowly defined, failure doesn’t close the door. It opens new ones. In this way, failure truly becomes the new success. (当成功没有被狭隘地定义时,失败就不会关上大门。它打开了新的大门。这样,失败就真正成为了新的成功。)”可知,文章主要讨论了失败的意义和价值,强调了从失败中学习、重新定义目的的重要性,认为失败可以成为新的成功。所以“Why Failure Is the New Success (为何失败是新的成功)”最契合文章主旨,适宜作为标题使用。故选A项。
16.A 17.E 18.D 19.B 20.G

Dear Rebecca,
Knowing that you are heading back to Britain soon, I have to say that parting is truly hard but I am delighted that you have enjoyed yourself a lot here.

Dating from thousands of years ago, chopsticks are not only a kind of tableware, but also a reflection of Chinese intelligence. Moreover, they always come in a pair. As a saying goes, good things come in pairs.
Hope you will like the little gift. Wish you a pleasant journey home and keep in touch.
Yours,

47.范文
All kinds of thoughts ran through Susie’s head as she drove to the hospital. The icy road mirrored the chill in her heart — images of Amanda’s sharp words and coldshoulders flooded her mind. Yet beneath the decades of resentment lay a thread of fear she’d never acknowledged: the fear of losing her sister. Her hands trembled, each mile stretching into an eternity. When she finally arrived, the hospital corridors echoed with the weight of unspoken words. A nurse directed her to a room where Amanda lay pale, an oxygen mask covering her face. Amanda’s breath was weak; the painting, their mother’s will, even their petty quarrels — none of it mattered now. “You’re here, and the constant worry is eating me alive” Susie whispered in a soft tone, her eyes glistening.
“I think that’s the first time you’ve ever said those words to me.” Amanda squeezed her sister’s hand. Amanda’s fingers, powerless yet warm, clung to hers. “I’m sorry,” Susie murmured, tears blurring her eyes. “For everything.” The admission hung in the air, fragile as the dawn light filtering through the window. Amanda removed the mask with effort, with her face lighting up, uttering, “Me too.” In that exactly split second, the portrait — their mother’s silent wish — seemed to watch over them. Years of bitterness dissolved into the quiet understanding that some bonds, though broken, are mended not by grand gestures but by shared vulnerability. Outside, the first snow of winter began to fall, blanketing the world in a hushed promise of renewal.
