W: Before this tour, all I knew about Cambridge was that it’s home to some of the world’s top universities and intellectuals. But this tour really takes me through the history of Cambridge, from the city’s beginnings to its current position as a world-famous seat of learning and culture. That’s quite attractive to me.
M: As a photographer, I’m really drawn to the beauty of the grand architecture here.
W: From the stone placed near the bridge at the back of King’s College to Newton’s Apple Tree standing close to the entrance of Trinity College, it feels like everything here is part of history.
M: I’m looking forward to the boat trip on the River Cam this afternoon.
W: Same here. We’ll enjoy the city’s peaceful atmosphere on a boat.

Just weeks earlier, wildfires had torn through Los Angeles. More than 16,000 structures were destroyed, including Rohan’s home as well as his beloved book collection. “I was heartbroken,” he said. “It made me wonder how other kids felt about losing their books.” That question pushed Rohan to take action. “I wanted to help,” he said. And he went all out to get books to kids who were affected by the fires.
The program gave away more than 1,000 books to kids in the first month. Veeren Mehra was one of them. He said he learned a powerful lesson: “If you are in a tough situation, people will be there for you.”

B
The dusty storage room was filled with relics of my past, but one item always caught my eye: a violin case. It had been there for years, a quiet reminder of my long-lost dreams.
When I was twelve, my parents enrolled me in violin lessons. The instrument felt like a part of me as I practiced scales and simple melodies. My teacher, Mrs. Thompson, praised my progress, and I dreamed of playing in the school orchestra. But as schoolwork piled up and extracurricular activities took up more time, practicing became a chore. I started skipping sessions, telling myself I would return to it later. Soon, the violin was stored away, tucked into the storage room.
Years passed, and I forgot about the violin until I attended a concert at my university. The musicians’ fingers moved effortlessly across the strings, creating a symphony that stirred something deep inside me. Memories flooded back — the scent of rosin (松香), the feel of the bow, the joy of making music. That night, I made a decision. I climbed into the storage room, wiping dust off the violin case. Inside, the instrument looked as clean and untouched as the day I had left it. Holding it felt like reuniting with an old friend. I tuned the strings hesitantly, then drew the bow across them. The sound was rough at first, but with each practice session, the music flowed again.
Months later, I performed at a small community event. Standing on stage, I played a piece I had once struggled with. The audience’s applause was overwhelming, but the real victory was reclaiming a part of myself I had abandoned.
Looking back, I realized that dreams that are on the shelf aren’t lost forever. Life may push them away, but they remain waiting for the moment we choose to pick them up again. The violin taught me that passion, once sparked, can be revived if we dare to reach for it.
The storage room may still hold relics of my past, but the violin is no longer among them. It hangs on my wall, a daily reminder that some things are worth revisiting, no matter how long they’ve been away.
24. What made the author decide to pick up the violin again?
A. The praise from Mrs. Thompson. B. The performance at the university concert.
C. The encouragement from the audience. D. The storage room that holds his relics.
25. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The author’s parents forced him to learn the violin in the beginning.
B. Playing the violin was a piece of cake for the author when revisiting it.
C. The author was accustomed to putting off extracurricular activities.
D. Reclaiming the violin-playing skill took the author much effort.
26. What does the underlined phrase “on the shelf” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. On display. B. In danger. C. Put aside. D. At hand.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Unfinished Symphony. B. The Dusty Storage Room.
C. My Successful Performance. D. My abandoned dream.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从童年学习小提琴、中途因学业搁置,到大学受音乐会启发重拾梦想并最终登台表演的经历。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第三段“Years passed, and I forgot about the violin until I attended a concert at my university. The musicians’ fingers moved effortlessly across the strings, creating a symphony that stirred something deep inside me. Memories flooded back — the scent of rosin (松香), the feel of the bow, the joy of making music. That night, I made a decision. I climbed into the storage room, wiping dust off the violin case.(多年过去了,我忘记了小提琴,直到我在大学里参加了一场音乐会。音乐家的手指毫不费力地在琴弦上移动,创造出一种交响乐,触动了我内心深处的某种东西。回忆如潮水般涌上心头——松香的香味,琴弓的感觉,演奏音乐的喜悦。那天晚上,我做了一个决定。我爬进储藏室,擦去小提琴盒上的灰尘。)”可知,大学音乐会的演出让作者决定重拾小提琴。故选B项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The sound was rough at first, but with each practice session, the music flowed again. (起初声音很粗糙,但经过每一次练习,音乐再次流淌起来)”可推断,作者重新掌握小提琴技巧付出了很多努力。故选D项。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语下文的内容“aren’t lost forever (……不会永远消失)”和“they remain waiting for the moment we choose to pick them up again (它们等待着我们再次捡起的时刻)”可知,“被搁置的”梦想才不会永远消失,会等待着我们再次捡起。所以划线短语“on the shelf”意为“被搁置”,与put aside意义一致。故选C项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容,特别是第一段“The dusty storage room was filled with relics of my past, but one item always caught my eye: a violin case. It had been there for years, a quiet reminder of my long-lost dreams. (满是灰尘的储藏室里堆满了我过去的遗物,但有一样东西总是引起我的注意:一个小提琴盒。它已经在那里很多年了,静静地提醒着我失去已久的梦想。)”可知,文章以“未完成的交响乐”比喻被搁置的梦想,最终通过重拾小提琴完成了对“人生乐章”的续写,A项“The Unfinished Symphony”既呼应音乐主题,又暗含“梦想重启”的核心主旨。故选A项。
C
We all know that exercise is good for our body. It helps us build a strong heart and keep a healthy weight. But did you know that exercise is also great for your brain? Recent studies show that physical activity can actually change the brain in some amazing ways, making us think better and feel happier.
The first change is about the brain’s ability to learn and remember. When we exercise, our heart sends more blood to the brain, carrying oxygen and important food. This helps the brain cells grow and become stronger. Scientists have found that a part of the brain called the hippocampus (海马体), which is very important for memory, gets larger in people who exercise often. This means these people may find it easier to learn new things and get higher scores on tests.
Besides a better memory, exercise is also a powerful way to improve our mood. During and after physical activity, the brain produces more “feel-good” chemicals. These natural brain chemicals help to reduce feelings of worry and stress. You don’t need to run a long way to get the result. Even a short walk or some simple sports can make you feel more relaxed and happy.
So how can you add more exercise to your life? You don’t have to be an athlete. The key is to find an activity you enjoy. It could be walking or riding a bike to school, joining a dance club, or just playing ball games with friends in the park. Try to be active for at least 30 minutes most days.
In short, exercise is not just about building a healthy body. It is also one of the most effective ways to build a healthier, happier, and smarter brain. Next time when you need a break from study, perhaps going out for some exercise is the best choice.
28. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Exercise is the best way to build a strong body.
B. Exercise has great effects on brain as it does on body.
C. Students should spend more time playing sports.
D. The hippocampus is the most important part of the brain.
29. According to Paragraph 2, how does exercise help us learn better?
A. By making us feel happier and more relaxed.
B. By helping brain cells grow stronger in the hippocampus.
C. By allowing the heart to send less blood to the brain.
D. By making us want to learn new things.
30. How does exercise help to improve our mood?
A. By bringing more blood and oxygen to the brain during physical activity.
B. By helping our brain learn new things and remember information better.
C. By making the hippocampus, an important part for memory, become larger.
D. By producing natural brain chemicals that reduce feelings of worry and stress.
31 What does the author suggest for adding exercise to our life?
A. We must become excellent athletes.
B. We should run a long way every day.
C. We need to find an activity we enjoy.
D. We have to join a school sports team.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,介绍运动不仅对身体有益,还能以惊人方式改变大脑,具体阐述了运动对大脑学习记忆能力和情绪的积极影响,并给出了增加运动的建议,强调运动能打造更健康、快乐且聪明的大脑。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“We all know that exercise is good for our body. It helps us build a strong heart and keep a healthy weight. But did you know that exercise is also great for your brain? Recent studies show that physical activity can actually change the brain in some amazing ways, making us think better and feel happier. (我们都知道运动对身体有益。它有助于我们拥有强健的心脏并保持健康的体重。但你知道运动对大脑也非常有益吗?最近的研究表明,体育锻炼实际上能以一些惊人的方式改变大脑,让我们思维更清晰、心情更愉悦)”及最后一段“In short, exercise is not just about building a healthy body. It is also one of the most effective ways to build a healthier, happier, and smarter brain (总之,运动不仅仅是为了塑造健康的身体。它也是打造更健康、更快乐、更聪明大脑的最有效方式之一)”可知,文章核心是说明运动对大脑和对身体一样有很大益处。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When we exercise, our heart sends more blood to the brain, carrying oxygen and important food. This helps the brain cells grow and become stronger. Scientists have found that a part of the brain called the hippocampus (海马体), which is very important for memory, gets larger in people who exercise often. This means these people may find it easier to learn new things and get higher scores on tests. (当我们运动时,心脏会向大脑输送更多血液,携带氧气和重要的营养物质。这有助于大脑细胞生长并变得更强健。科学家发现,大脑中一个对记忆至关重要的部分——海马体,在经常运动的人脑中会更大。这意味着这些人可能更容易学习新事物,考试成绩也更高)”可知,运动通过帮助海马体中的脑细胞变得更强健,从而让我们学习更好。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Besides a better memory, exercise is also a powerful way to improve our mood. During and after physical activity, the brain produces more “feel-good” chemicals. These natural brain chemicals help to reduce feelings of worry and stress. (除了改善记忆,运动也是改善情绪的有效方式。在运动过程中及运动后,大脑会产生更多“让人感觉良好”的化学物质。这些大脑天然产生的化学物质有助于减轻焦虑和压力感)”可知,运动通过产生能减轻焦虑和压力的天然大脑化学物质来改善情绪。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“So, how can you add more exercise to your life? You don’t have to be an athlete. The key is to find an activity you enjoy. (那么,如何在生活中增加运动量呢?你不必成为运动员。关键是找到一项你喜欢的活动)”可知,作者建议我们找到一项自己喜欢的活动来增加运动量。故选C。
D
A heritage language is a language that isn’t the “most powerful” language of an area, but is still learned by children in their homes (thus, it’s their heritage). Any language can be a heritage language, depending on the surrounding social context. English, for example, is often a primary language, but could technically be a heritage language if someone’s English-speaking parents moved from, say, the United Kingdom to Japan
Heritage languages can be someone’s native language, but the two terms aren’t interchangeable. A native language is the language or languages a person learns when they’re very young while heritage languages can be determined by a broad range of social and cultural factors. Usually, people speak their native language very well. Someone’s abilities in their heritage language can vary quite a bit, however. Some people may master it well because they learned it a lot when they were children, while others may speak it but not read it, and still others may struggle with speaking it at all.
The United States has over 56 million Spanish speakers, and a large part of those are heritage learners of the language. A research found that the percentage of people who report speaking Spanish “well” drops from 91 to 82 for first-and second-generation immigrants (移民). While that might seem small, it gets much more obvious after that, with third-and fourth-generation immigrants dropping to 47 percent.
There are a couple of reasons why heritage languages — and Spanish in particular — tends to drop off from generation to generation. The first one is that the heritage language is less important to get around in society. When a person needs the majority language to go to school, get a job and interact with most people around them, it’s not surprising that the heritage language might seem less important. Another reason is some parents encourage their children not to use their heritage language. It’s unfortunate but true that speaking another language is still a cause for discrimination (歧视) today.
Heritage languages may have a hard time lasting from generation to generation, but it’s not only a story of decline (衰弱). There are countless people in the world who go out of their way to learn their heritage languages — some learn the heritage language later in life — and help others to do the same. If you’ve ever thought about reconnecting with a heritage language, it’s never too late to get started. There’s no time like the present.
32. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By mentioning an expert. B. By explaining a term (术语).
C. By describing a scene. D. By providing figures.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The importance of learning heritage languages when little.
B. The variations in people’s abilities to speak heritage languages.
C. The differences between heritage languages and native languages.
D. The similarities between the broad range of social and cultural factors.
34. What is one reason for the drop of Heritage languages in the US?
A. Appearance discrimination B. Generation gap.
C. Varying cultures. D. Losing popularity.
35 What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Parents play a key role in protecting heritage languages.
B. Heritage languages’ difficult time will end in the near future.
C. Efforts have been made towards the heritage languages’ survival.
D. Some people consider it too late to bring heritage languages back to life.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。围绕传承语言展开,介绍其定义、与母语的区别、使用情况的变化等。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A heritage language is a language that isn’t the “most powerful” language of an area, but is still learned by children in their homes (thus, it’s their heritage). (传承语言是指并非一个地区“最有影响力”的语言,但仍被孩子在家中学习的语言(因此,它是他们的传承))”可知,作者通过解释“传承语言”这一术语来引入话题。故选B项。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Heritage languages can be someone’s native language, but the two terms aren’t interchangeable. A native language is the language or languages a person learns when they’re very young while heritage languages can be determined by a broad range of social and cultural factors. (传承语言可以是某人的母语,但这两个术语不可互换。母语是一个人在很小的时候学习的语言,而传承语言则由广泛的社会和文化因素决定)”可知,第二段的主要内容是传承语言和母语的区别。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The first one is that the heritage language is less important to get around in society. When a person needs the majority language to go to school, get a job and interact with most people around them, it’s not surprising that the heritage language might seem less important. (首先,传承语言在社会中出行等方面没那么重要。当一个人需要主流语言来上学、找工作以及和周围大多数人交流时,传承语言似乎没那么重要就不足为奇了)”可知,传承语言在美国衰落的一个原因是它不那么重要、使用得不多、不那么受欢迎了。故选D项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“There are countless people in the world who go out of their way to learn their heritage languages — some learn the heritage language later in life — and help others to do the same. (世界上有无数人不遗余力地学习他们的传承语言,有些人在晚些时候才学习传承语言,并帮助其他人也这样做)”可知,人们为传承语言的存续做出了努力。故选C项。

How to Build a Strong Relationship with Your Roommate
Living with a roommate can be a great experience, but it also has the potential to be a nightmare if not managed properly. ____36____ Here are some tips to help you build a strong relationship with your roommate.
Communicate openly and honestly
Communication is key in any relationship, and the one with your roommate is no exception. ____37____ For example, if something they do bothers you, don’t let it fester inside. Instead, have an open conversation with them about it. Be respectful and use “I” statements to express how you feel. For instance, say “I feel uncomfortable when the dishes are left in the sink for too long” rather than “You always leave the dishes in the sink and it’s disgusting.”
Set clear boundaries
____38____ Decide on things like what time quiet hours start, how to share common spaces, and what to do if one of you has guests over. By setting these boundaries early on, you can avoid potential conflicts down the road. If your roommate has a different idea about a boundary, have a discussion to find a middle ground that works for both of you.
Respect each other’s belongings
Your roommate’s possessions are just as important as yours. ____39____ If you need to borrow something, always ask first. And if you accidentally damage or lose something of theirs, be honest and offer to replace it. Similarly, expect your roommate to treat your things with the same respect.
Share responsibilities
A shared living space means shared responsibilities. ____40____ Divide tasks like cleaning the bath-room, taking out the trash, and grocery shopping. You can create a schedule to make sure everything gets done regularly. This not only keeps the living environment clean and comfortable but also shows that you’re both committed to making the place a nice one to live in.

【答案】Possible version l:
Dear Jenny,
I’d like to recommend “Mobile phones in class?” as our debate topic. It’s a practical and engaging issue that affects all of us directly.
This topic sparks strong opinions. Some argue phones aid learning through online search and apps, while others believe they distract students. A debate would help us weigh these views fairly. Plus, it encourages critical thinking about technology’s role in education.
I hope this suggestion is helpful. It’s a topic everyone can relate to, ensuring lively discussions. Looking forward to your feedback!
Yours,

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Luna was an “invisible” senior three student — with thick glasses and a habit of burying herself in books, she rarely joined group discussions or school activities. Beyond shyness, she felt deeply confused: her midterm exam results dropped sharply, leaving her lost, while others seemed clear about their goals. “Why am I the only one stuck?” she sighed, staring at her unsatisfactory grades.
Her turning point came when new English teacher Ms. Carter assigned a “Growth Journey” project — recording a personal challenge and how to overcome it, with a final class presentation. Public speaking was Luna’s worst nightmare, and she had no “journey” to share, so she delayed the task until Ms. Carter pulled her aside. “Confusion isn’t failure,” the teacher said gently, handing her a notebook. “It’s a sign you’re ready to grow — write down your troubles and take one small step.”
That night, Luna poured out her worries; fear of disappointing her parents, anxiety about college applications, and embarrassment at being left behind. She then thought of her abandoned love for drawing and decided to combine it with the project — sketching one daily life scene with a short reflection each day. At first, she hid her sketchbook, drawing only in the library’s quiet corners, but soon found joy in capturing small moments. Once, a classmate accidentally knocked the sketchbook off her desk, shouted “These are amazing!” and praised her, sparking pride in her chest.
Weeks later, the notebook was filled with sketches. Luna shared them with Ms. Carter, who encouraged her to add more feelings. With presentation day drawing near, her hands trembled during practice — she wanted to quit, but the sketchbook, a record of her courage, kept her going.
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。
On the morning of the presentation, the classroom fell silent as Luna walked to the front.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Luna finished her presentation, the classroom erupted in applause.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
On the morning of the presentation, the classroom fell silent as Luna walked to the front. She grasped her sketchbook tightly, her fingers trembling slightly with nervousness. Her voice was so soft that only a few students nearby could catch her words at first. But as she flipped over the pages and shared her inner confusion and small steps of trying, her tone grew steady and firm. She glanced up accidentally and saw Ms. Carter’s encouraging smile and her classmates’ focused eyes, which filled her heart with a sudden surge of courage.
When Luna finished her presentation, the classroom erupted in applause. Some classmates even stood up, clapping their hands vigorously to show their appreciation. Ms. Carter walked straight to her and gave her a warm hug, whispering gentle words of praise in her ear. Several girls crowded around, asking excitedly if she could teach them basic sketching skills. A bright smile spread across Luna’s face, and her eyes sparkled with tears of joy — for the first time, she truly felt she belonged to the class.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物Luna为线索展开,主要讲述了内向迷茫的Luna通过“成长之旅”项目,借助绘画突破自我,完成课堂演讲的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“在演讲的早晨,当Luna走到前面时,教室陷入了沉默”可知,第一段可描写Luna上台时的紧张状态、演讲过程中的心态变化及外界给予的鼓励。
②由第二段首句内容“Luna演讲完毕后,教室里响起了一片掌声”可知,第二段可描写演讲结束后师生的反应、Luna的内心感受及此次经历带来的改变。
2.续写线索: 上台紧张握本——起初声音微弱——翻页分享心声——语气逐渐坚定——看到鼓励获勇气——演讲结束获掌声——老师拥抱表扬——同学围拢请教——展露笑容获归属感
3.词汇积累
行为类
①紧握:grasp sth. tightly/clutch sth. firmly/hold sth. tightly
②拥抱:give a warm hug/embrace warmly/hug affectionately
③围过来:crowd around/gather around/surround

The dusty storage room was filled with relics of my past, but one item always caught my eye: a violin case. It had been there for years, a quiet reminder of my long-lost dreams.
When I was twelve, my parents enrolled me in violin lessons. The instrument felt like a part of me as I practiced scales and simple melodies. My teacher, Mrs. Thompson, praised my progress, and I dreamed of playing in the school orchestra. But as schoolwork piled up and extracurricular activities took up more time, practicing became a chore. I started skipping sessions, telling myself I would return to it later. Soon, the violin was stored away, tucked into the storage room.
Years passed, and I forgot about the violin until I attended a concert at my university. The musicians’ fingers moved effortlessly across the strings, creating a symphony that stirred something deep inside me. Memories flooded back — the scent of rosin (松香), the feel of the bow, the joy of making music. That night, I made a decision. I climbed into the storage room, wiping dust off the violin case. Inside, the instrument looked as clean and untouched as the day I had left it. Holding it felt like reuniting with an old friend. I tuned the strings hesitantly, then drew the bow across them. The sound was rough at first, but with each practice session, the music flowed again.
Months later, I performed at a small community event. Standing on stage, I played a piece I had once struggled with. The audience’s applause was overwhelming, but the real victory was reclaiming a part of myself I had abandoned.
Looking back, I realized that dreams that are on the shelf aren’t lost forever. Life may push them away, but they remain waiting for the moment we choose to pick them up again. The violin taught me that passion, once sparked, can be revived if we dare to reach for it.
The storage room may still hold relics of my past, but the violin is no longer among them. It hangs on my wall, a daily reminder that some things are worth revisiting, no matter how long they’ve been away.
24. What made the author decide to pick up the violin again?
A. The praise from Mrs. Thompson. B. The performance at the university concert.
C. The encouragement from the audience. D. The storage room that holds his relics.
25. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The author’s parents forced him to learn the violin in the beginning.
B. Playing the violin was a piece of cake for the author when revisiting it.
C. The author was accustomed to putting off extracurricular activities.
D. Reclaiming the violin-playing skill took the author much effort.
26. What does the underlined phrase “on the shelf” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. On display. B. In danger. C. Put aside. D. At hand.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Unfinished Symphony. B. The Dusty Storage Room.
C. My Successful Performance. D. My abandoned dream.

We all know that exercise is good for our body. It helps us build a strong heart and keep a healthy weight. But did you know that exercise is also great for your brain? Recent studies show that physical activity can actually change the brain in some amazing ways, making us think better and feel happier.
The first change is about the brain’s ability to learn and remember. When we exercise, our heart sends more blood to the brain, carrying oxygen and important food. This helps the brain cells grow and become stronger. Scientists have found that a part of the brain called the hippocampus (海马体), which is very important for memory, gets larger in people who exercise often. This means these people may find it easier to learn new things and get higher scores on tests.
Besides a better memory, exercise is also a powerful way to improve our mood. During and after physical activity, the brain produces more “feel-good” chemicals. These natural brain chemicals help to reduce feelings of worry and stress. You don’t need to run a long way to get the result. Even a short walk or some simple sports can make you feel more relaxed and happy.
So, how can you add more exercise to your life? You don’t have to be an athlete. The key is to find an activity you enjoy. It could be walking or riding a bike to school, joining a dance club, or just playing ball games with friends in the park. Try to be active for at least 30 minutes most days.
In short, exercise is not just about building a healthy body. It is also one of the most effective ways to build a healthier, happier, and smarter brain. Next time when you need a break from study, perhaps going out for some exercise is the best choice.
28. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Exercise is the best way to build a strong body.
B. Exercise has great effects on brain as it does on body.
C. Students should spend more time playing sports.
D. The hippocampus is the most important part of the brain.
29. According to Paragraph 2, how does exercise help us learn better?
A. By making us feel happier and more relaxed.
B. By helping brain cells grow stronger in the hippocampus.
C. By allowing the heart to send less blood to the brain.
D. By making us want to learn new things.
30. How does exercise help to improve our mood?
A. By bringing more blood and oxygen to the brain during physical activity.
B. By helping our brain learn new things and remember information better.
C. By making the hippocampus, an important part for memory, become larger.
D. By producing natural brain chemicals that reduce feelings of worry and stress.
31. What does the author suggest for adding exercise to our life?
A. We must become excellent athletes.
B. We should run a long way every day.
C. We need to find an activity we enjoy.
D. We have to join a school sports team.

A heritage language is a language that isn’t the “most powerful” language of an area, but is still learned by children in their homes (thus, it’s their heritage). Any language can be a heritage language, depending on the surrounding social context. English, for example, is often a primary language, but could technically be a heritage language if someone’s English-speaking parents moved from, say, the United Kingdom to Japan
Heritage languages can be someone’s native language, but the two terms aren’t interchangeable. A native language is the language or languages a person learns when they’re very young while heritage languages can be determined by a broad range of social and cultural factors. Usually, people speak their native language very well. Someone’s abilities in their heritage language can vary quite a bit, however. Some people may master it well because they learned it a lot when they were children, while others may speak it but not read it, and still others may struggle with speaking it at all.
The United States has over 56 million Spanish speakers, and a large part of those are heritage learners of the language. A research found that the percentage of people who report speaking Spanish “well” drops from 91 to 82 for first-and second-generation immigrants (移民). While that might seem small, it gets much more obvious after that, with third-and fourth-generation immigrants dropping to 47 percent.
There are a couple of reasons why heritage languages — and Spanish in particular — tends to drop off from generation to generation. The first one is that the heritage language is less important to get around in society. When a person needs the majority language to go to school, get a job and interact with most people around them, it’s not surprising that the heritage language might seem less important. Another reason is some parents encourage their children not to use their heritage language. It’s unfortunate but true that speaking another language is still a cause for discrimination (歧视) today.
Heritage languages may have a hard time lasting from generation to generation, but it’s not only a story of decline (衰弱). There are countless people in the world who go out of their way to learn their heritage languages — some learn the heritage language later in life — and help others to do the same. If you’ve ever thought about reconnecting with a heritage language, it’s never too late to get started. There’s no time like the present.
32. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By mentioning an expert. B. By explaining a term (术语).
C. By describing a scene. D. By providing figures.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The importance of learning heritage languages when little.
B. The variations in people’s abilities to speak heritage languages.
C. The differences between heritage languages and native languages.
D. The similarities between the broad range of social and cultural factors.
34. What is one reason for the drop of Heritage languages in the US?
A Appearance discrimination B. Generation gap.
C. Varying cultures. D. Losing popularity.
35. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Parents play a key role in protecting heritage languages.
B. Heritage languages’ difficult time will end in the near future.
C. Efforts have been made towards the heritage languages’ survival.
D. Some people consider it too late to bring heritage languages back to life.

How to Build a Strong Relationship with Your Roommate
Living with a roommate can be a great experience, but it also has the potential to be a nightmare if not managed properly. ____36____ Here are some tips to help you build a strong relationship with your roommate.
Communicate openly and honestly
Communication is key in any relationship, and the one with your roommate is no exception. ____37____ For example, if something they do bothers you, don’t let it fester inside. Instead, have an open conversation with them about it. Be respectful and use “I” statements to express how you feel. For instance, say “I feel uncomfortable when the dishes are left in the sink for too long” rather than “You always leave the dishes in the sink and it’s disgusting.”
Set clear boundaries
____38____ Decide on things like what time quiet hours start, how to share common spaces, and what to do if one of you has guests over. By setting these boundaries early on, you can avoid potential conflicts down the road. If your roommate has a different idea about a boundary, have a discussion to find a middle ground that works for both of you.
Respect each other’s belongings
Your roommate’s possessions are just as important as yours. ____39____ If you need to borrow something, always ask first. And if you accidentally damage or lose something of theirs, be honest and offer to replace it. Similarly, expect your roommate to treat your things with the same respect.
Share responsibilities
A shared living space means shared responsibilities. ____40____ Divide tasks like cleaning the bath-room, taking out the trash, and grocery shopping. You can create a schedule to make sure everything gets done regularly. This not only keeps the living environment clean and comfortable but also shows that you’re both committed to making the place a nice one to live in.
Building a strong relationship with your roommate takes time and effort, but by following these tips, you can create a harmonious living situation that benefits both of you.
A. Avoid making assumptions about each other.
B This includes respecting their personal space as well.
C. It’s important to be clear about what is acceptable and what isn’t.
D. Both of you should contribute to keeping the place clean and organized.
E. To ensure a positive living experience, it’s crucial to get along well with your roommate.
F. Regularly talk to each other about your thoughts, feelings, and expectations.
G. Try to find common interests and activities that you can enjoy together.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Luna was an “invisible” senior three student — with thick glasses and a habit of burying herself in books, she rarely joined group discussions or school activities. Beyond shyness, she felt deeply confused: her midterm exam results dropped sharply, leaving her lost, while others seemed clear about their goals. “Why am I the only one stuck?” she sighed, staring at her unsatisfactory grades.
Her turning point came when new English teacher Ms. Carter assigned a “Growth Journey” project — recording a personal challenge and how to overcome it, with a final class presentation. Public speaking was Luna’s worst nightmare, and she had no “journey” to share, so she delayed the task until Ms. Carter pulled her aside. “Confusion isn’t failure,” the teacher said gently, handing her a notebook. “It’s a sign you’re ready to grow — write down your troubles and take one small step.”
That night, Luna poured out her worries; fear of disappointing her parents, anxiety about college applications, and embarrassment at being left behind. She then thought of her abandoned love for drawing and decided to combine it with the project — sketching one daily life scene with a short reflection each day. At first, she hid her sketchbook, drawing only in the library’s quiet corners, but soon found joy in capturing small moments. Once, a classmate accidentally knocked the sketchbook off her desk, shouted “These are amazing!” and praised her, sparking pride in her chest.
Weeks later, the notebook was filled with sketches. Luna shared them with Ms. Carter, who encouraged her to add more feelings. With presentation day drawing near, her hands trembled during practice — she wanted to quit, but the sketchbook, a record of her courage, kept her going.
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。
On the morning of the presentation, the classroom fell silent as Luna walked to the front.
