For several years,I lived with deep regret.Then in 2014,I attended a children's concert 高一英语样卷第一卷第3页（共9页） where a guest speaker shared a powerful message about the life-changing value of education The words touched something in me.That evening,I wrote a heartfelt letter to my parents, pouring out my regrets and asking for a second chance to go back to school To my relief,they said yes.

The greatest benefits appear to go to those who achieve full mastery of a second language through regular,long-term use.A beginner's level of language skill does not offer the same advantages as deep,daily bilingual experience.Frequent changing between lariguages seems particularly valuable.Studies of translators,for example,show they perform better at quickly shifting between simple tasks than those who speak only one language, indicating stronger cognitive control. However,this research area is full of other factors that can affect results,like upbringing and education.A child raised abroad may enjoy cognitive advantages unrelated to bilingualism.Meanwhile,studies in poorer regions with limited schooling show that bilingualism offers the clearest benefits there,possibly because it trains the brain in ways formal education does not. Age plays a role too.Studies suggest that the effects of languages on the brain are stronger for young children and the old than they are for young adults.Young bilingual children often show early cognitive advantages,though children who speak only one language may catch up later. In later life,bilingualism provides a form of cognitive protection.Ellen Bialystok compares it to a piece of Swiss cheese:each activity good for the brain,like exercise,is another slice.Together,they cover each other's gaps,offering stronger defence. Beyond these debated effects,language learning offers one clear mental superpower:the ability to talk to people you otherwise couldn't.Even if you can't pick your parents and be fluent from birth,that should be more than enough reason to give it a go. 24.What is the benefit of learning a second language as an adult? A.Improving mental skills. B.Preventing memory-loss illnesses. C.Slowing age-related mental decline D.Mastering two languages more quickly. 25.What can be infcrred from the passage?

D In 2013,the World Health Organization set a goal to reduce global physical inactivity by 10%from 2010 levels by 2025.However,the latest data from 2022 indicates that 31%of -adults are inactive-up from 26%in 2010.Among teenagers,81%do not move enough. Clearly,the world is moving further from its goal.So what went wrong?While there are many complex reasons,some experts ask:have we been promoting physical activity incorrectly all along? For years,the"exercise is medicine"message has been widely used.We are told physical activity prevents diseases.This message is scientifically sound,but public health researcher Benjamin Rigby argues'that viewing movement only as a means of disease prevention oversimplifies why people move."People move for so many more reasons unrelated to avoiding illness,"says Rigby."We want to play,laugh,explore,dance,and feel proud,all of which lead to having fun and feeling good."Leaving out these positive motivations may explain why many don't connect with health messages. A growing number of studies support shifting from health-centered narratives(叙述方式). Analyzing 123 studies,university researchers found health reasons aren't top motivators. Instead,messages highlighting short-term rewards,like stress reduction,fun with friends, mood improvement,are more effective than warnings about future illness.Examples of such messaging:"a little movement for a little mood improvement"or"physical activity connects you with others." Strong evidence shows that people are more likely to stay active when it's fun.For youth, enjoyment is key to lasting sports participation.Remember Pokemon GO?While playing this game,its most engaged players walked nearly 1,500 extra steps daily,drivn by the excitement of catching creatures. Given this,why don't health messages focus more on enjoyment?Health-based narratives attract institutions for measurable effects.But with the 2030 target-a 15%reduction in inactivity-approaching,it's time for change:stop presenting physical activity as bitter medicine,and promote it as a source of fun,exploration,and connection. 高一英语样卷第一卷第6页（共9页) 2).Why is WHO's firding thentioned in the fst paragraph? A.To explain WHO's 2025 activity goal B.To introduce the global inactivity issue. C.To present the value of physical activity D.To compare adults'and teens'inactivity rates. 28.What does the word"sound"underlined in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A.Outdated. B.Complex. C.Questionable.D.Dependable. 29.Why did Pokemon GO's engaged users walk more? A.To meet daily exercise goals. B.To keep up with game challenges C.To have fun by catching creatures. D.To build social connection with other players 30.Which would be the best title for the passage? A.Finding Emotion in Physical Acfivity. B.Weighing Benefits of Physical Activity. C.Achieving Goals for 2030 Physical Activity. D.Solving Problems in Global Physical Activity. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡 上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It is the morning of an important exam,and you are very anxious,realising you have not attended a single class all term.Fortunately,it is only a dream.Yet many people experience dreams like this throughout their lives.31 The answer is that these dreams often lie in the importance of our school years in shaping who we are.32When adults face stress from work or other situations,these early memories of being unprepared,late,or forgetful can reappear powerfully in dreams. 33 Thus,having them every once in a while is not typically something to be concerned about.But if you are having them a lot,that could be a sign of another issue,such as having too much stress in your life. Some people may also have stressful dreams because of poor sleep habits.Experts recommend keeping regular sleep schedules.It is also advised to avoid large meals or alcohol close to bedtime.34 Screen.use before sleep can over-excite the brain.which is particularly problematic at a time when the mind should be settling down.Introducing quiet 高一英语样卷第一卷第7页（共9页） moments before bed can help significantly. 35 k helps people process daily concems.improve mental preparedness,and acts as a treatment to stress dreams,such as the classic nightmare of missing a final exam.

When gray rocking,you are purposely making yourself uninteresting by politely offering short responses rather than getting dragged into a highly emotional conversation.The idea is to not provide the other person with the attention or reaction they want,making them move on. For example,maybe someone corners you to talk politics.In previous years,you might have taken the bait (and ended up in a shouting match.But when gray rocking,you'd avoid the argument with an uninteresting response,like,"Interesting opinion.How's work recently?" Although gray rocking can be helpful,it may also harm emotional health and relationships by making people hide their feelings and create distance from others.Thus,if you care about the long-term health of a relationship,the best way is always to be more honest and talk through your issues. Or,maybe just try to focus on the good,such as,people you do want to see at the party, and offer a little understanding toward the difficult figures in your life.A little kindness can go a long way.It is the holidays,after all. 高一英语样卷第一卷第8页（共9页） 36.What does ay rocking mean? 37 How can gray rocking harm emotional health and relatioirships? 38.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. Ifyou want a relationship to be healthy in the long term,the best way is always to avoid the argument with an uninteresting response. 39.Besides what are mentioned in the passage,what else can you do to deal with uncomfortable social situations?(In about 40 words) 第二节（20分) 假设你是红星中学高一学生李华。你的英国好友Ji即将到你校学习，他发来邮件， 想要了解学校的课外活动。请你用英文给他回邮件，介绍相关情况。要点包括： 1.活动的内容： 2.活动的意义。 提示词：课外活动after-class activity 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, Yours, Li Hua (请务必将作文写在答题卡指定区域内) 高一英语样卷第一卷第9页（共9页）
