Last summer at a bookstore, my son Henry was fascinated by the cover of the first novel from Peter Brown’s middle-grade trilogy (三部曲). He then finished it in just two days. “Dad, why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad?” He tearfully asked me.
The story is set on a remote island, where a robot named Roz learns to survive and communicate with the island's creatures, and becomes part of the community. For my son, it was the first book he discovered on his own; the first to impact him with the mix of tragedy (悲剧)and joy.
When I finished the book, I knew why Henry loved it. In our book club discussion, he described how Brown’s pictures and words had made the story feel real. When talking about its final scenes, where Roz leaves to find repairs for her injured body, Henry cried again. His previous reading experiences had cheerful, “happily-ever-after” endings, but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions. I tried to explain how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments, but failed to fully persuade him.
Once our discussion ended, Henry requested to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it. He read the first two books repeatedly, so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot Protects.
We both agree it is worth the wait. Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat: “the poison tide.” Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas—not just happiness and sadness, but also, given the climate-change undercurrents (暗流), hope and despair.
And, here’s something special about Roz: her physical clumsiness (笨拙)and confusion about life, conveyed through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth. Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place, much like a child’s journey. Readers love Roz. They learn from her. Even better, they learn alongside her. Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book’s sad parts, getting him ready to appreciate that, sometimes, sadness isn’t a bad thing to feel.
24. What drove the author to read The Wild Robot?
A. Its attractive cover. B. Henry’s emotional reaction to it.
C. Its tragic ending. D. Henry’s tearful recommendation.
25. What is one theme of The Wild Robot Protects?
A. Family and society. B. Exploration of the ocean.
C. Man-robot relationship. D. Concerns over global issues.
26. What makes Roz in the trilogy special?
A. Her struggling experiences. B. Her childlike expressions.
C. Her robotic power. D. Her adventurous spirit.
27. Which message does this text seem to communicate?
A. Misfortune inspires great literary works.
B. Robot stories work like magic on children.
C. Reading literature facilitates personal growth.
D. Book discussions help kids survive tragedies.
C
A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny organisms(生物体), causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets(蟋蟀) and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers(护林员) found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,” says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.”
Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.
Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. “It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah. Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and alters(改变) their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.”
Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduces dangerous bacteria into water sources.
In national parks, trails (小路) are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. “It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.
28. What does Ashley mean by “But that can be all it takes.”?
A. The damage has been done.
B. The rangers’ work is efficient.
C. The cleanup takes a long time.
D. The pollution has spread widely.
29. What is a result of foreign waste in public lands?
A. A shortage of food supplies.
B. A shift in animal behavior.
C. A decline in bacterial species.
D. An increase in regional conflicts.
30. Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5?
A. To praise their benefits to desert life.
B. To highlight our damage to ecosystems.
C. To stress their significance for photography.
D. To show our unawareness of nature’s sensitivity.
31. What is conveyed in this passage?
A. We should encourage wildlife protection.
B. We should promote national park tourism.
C. We should leave no trace in the wild.
D. We should restore ecological damage.
D
In the vast and diverse world of animals, there exists odd gestures that often leave us humans puzzled and amazed. These gestures, which may seem strange or unusual to us, are actually fascinating glimpses (一瞥) into the unique behaviors and communication styles of our pets.
Animals want our attention, and sometimes they’re quite obvious about asking for it. Odd gestures are often our pets’ way of telling us to stop what we’re doing and play with them. It’s why Fido constantly follows his tail and why Kitty keeps rolling around. An extremely bored pet may choose “bad” behaviors to cause a reaction!
Sure, your dog loves you, but that’s not why he’s licking (舔) your face. A little dog learns to lick his mother’s mouth to obtain a little food, so Spot isn’t kissing you in our sense of the word; he just wants a snack.
Cat owners also misunderstand their pets’ kisses. While a cat might lick you to show love, sometimes she’ll do it to comfort herself. One way to tell if her licking is stress-related is whether it goes on for a long period of time.
At some point you’ve probably told these words to someone who made you angry. Dogs think similarly, avoiding eye contact with anyone who injures their feelings. Another sign of anger: yawning (打哈欠). A yawning dog may not be tired but anxious, not bored but stressed. Similarly, lip-licking — when there isn’t food around to bring about it — is another sign of threat.
You might think your dog is running around the backyard, having the time of his life while you’re away. But the reality is that he’s most likely just sitting in one spot for hours, waiting for you to return with anxiety. Dogs actually prefer to be inside, ideally with their owners.
32. If a dog intends to eat food, which action will it take?
A. It follows his tail. B. It barks constantly.
C. It licks its owner’s face. D. It keeps rolling around.
33. What do we learn about the gesture of a cat’s constant kisses?
A. It feels anxious. B. It feels excited.
C. It feels annoyed. D. It feels entertained.
34. What does it reveal when the dog sits for a long time without moving?
A. The dog is embarrassed.
B. The dog is tired of moving.
C. The dog is bored to play with you.
D. The dog is eager to see your return.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Why Your Pets Are Lovely Animals
B. What Your Pet Is Trying to Tell You
C. Why Odd Gestures Can Attract You
D. What Should We Do With Our Pets
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Dealing with Appearance Anxiety
Appearance anxiety means worrying too much about how you look, which is especially common among teenagers. ____36____ For example, spending hours checking carefully edited selfies on social media or comparing your appearance with others often leads to negative thoughts. Such constant worries not only damage self-confidence but may also lead to avoiding social situations like school events or group activities.
Fortunately, there are ways to handle these feelings.
The first step is to practice kindness toward yourself. Instead of thinking “My hair looks messy,” try saying “My hair protects me from the sun.” ____37____ Also, writing down three things your body helps you do daily (like “My arms let me hug my friends”) also builds lasting confidence.
Creative activities and sports offer healthy ways to shift focus. ____38____ Also, team sports like basketball teach players to value skills over appearance, with 72% of players claiming teamwork makes them value ability over appearance. Even easy activities like walking can calm your mind by producing stress-relieving chemicals.
____39____ Choose friends who avoid comments on looks and join school clubs that welcome everyone. Adults like teachers can teach helpful tricks, like using apps to record feelings or ways to stay positive. Cutting down time on apps that make you compare yourself is another smart move.
Remember, true beauty isn’t about being perfect physically. ____40____ When we care more about being kind and brave than looking a certain way, we start seeing real beauty in who people are, not just how they appear.
A. Limit your Internet exposure.
B. Turn to trusted people for help.
C. Social comparison is the major cause.
D. Regular exercise improves physical health.
E. Such changes boost how you view yourself.
F. It is about the special things that make you “you”.
G. Painting helps focus on creativity rather than looks.

I got back home and ate my favorite cookies. When I calmed down, ____50____, I was full of shame. Why didn’t other women get angry like me? I looked at the cookies, which I hadn’t intended for ____51____, but now they seemed to be the best choice to make things right. So I walked across the street to the kid’s doorstep with cookies.
When the student opened the door, I ____52____ the plate and told him that the person he met just now — the one with the pointing finger and annoying ____53____ — wasn’t me. At least it wasn’t the person I wanted to be.

Mary watched as students crowded around a notice announcing that the school’s radio station was looking for a second host. Butterflies filled her stomach—she had always dreamed of becoming a campus host.
The radio station was a big deal: it aired music, school announcements, and entertaining shows that everyone tuned into during lunch breaks. Olivia, the current host, was confident and talented, earning widespread admiration. In contrast, Mary was naturally shy, and speaking in front of others made her nervous. Still, she decided to give it a try, even as a classmate remarked, “You? You can barely read aloud in class without stumbling (磕磕绊绊)!”
Not discouraged, Mary practiced every evening by reading aloud from her textbooks. At first, she stumbled over her words, but gradually her reading grew smoother and her pronunciation clearer. She even borrowed books on public speaking from the library to learn vocal techniques. While her classmates chatted and laughed, she quietly absorbed every detail, determined to build her skills.
The day of the interview finally arrived. Holding the cold microphone, Mary felt her hands grow sweaty. She read the required texts perfectly—rehearsed (排练) thousands of times—but she struggled during the improvised (即兴的) part.
“Sir, I’ve been practicing for months, and I’m willing to work hard to learn,” she begged.
Mr. Carter smiled gently and said, “I appreciate your determination and your excellent reading. But during a live broadcast, anything can happen, and you need to draw your audience’s attention with genuine emotion rather than simply reading from a script.”
That day, no one passed the interview; everyone left except Mary. Lost in thought, she realized, “The problem isn’t with my pronunciation or reading…” It suddenly struck her that she could join the radio team in a supporting role to learn what it truly takes to be a host.
注意:
1. 写作词数应为150左右;
2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
She asked Mr. Carter for permission and began by taking on small tasks.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then one day, Mr. Carter rushed in with unexpected news: Olivia had suddenly fallen ill.

Dear Ryan
I hope this email finds you well. I think using AI technology to assist in correcting English compositions is a brilliant idea. It can significantly save your time and offer prompt feedback to us students. This enables us to get a clear understanding of our mistakes and make improvements in a timely manner.
However, I also have a couple of suggestions. Firstly, while AI can provide objective evaluations, I still hope you can give some manual comments from time to time. Secondly, it would be extremely helpful if you could explain how the AI works and its limitations.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

She asked Mr. Carter for permission and began by taking on small tasks. Organizing scripts, preparing playlists and setting the facilities, Mary threw herself into these tasks, treating each one as an opportunity to learn. During breaks, she observed Olivia’s hosting techniques—how she handled technical issues and managed to make the audience feel excited and engaged. When no one was around, she would practice, pretending to host her own show, announcing imaginary school news, reciting poems, or introducing songs, just like Olivia did. As days turned into weeks, her notebook was filled with her thoughts and reflections. Mary felt more confident, and she hoped she could finally share her voice with the school.
Then one day, Mr. Carter rushed in with unexpected news: Olivia had suddenly fallen ill. Mary stood up, her palms sweating but voice steady. “I’ve learned a lot these days. May I try?” The studio fell silent. Mr. Carter studied her determined face and nodded. Holding the cold mic tightly, Mary’s clear voice flowed through speakers. She perfectly reported the news that day, played up beat music, and even shared fun stories about their school’s history. Students paused their sandwiches, recognizing the new voice. By broadcast end, the radio office buzzed with approval. Mr. Carter smiled, “Seems we already have our second host.” Mary was still holding the mic, which wasn’t cold anymore, but held the warmth of every host who’d ever panicked, triumphed, and grown here—including her.

W: Good evening. I'm your old friend Lisa Brown, Tonight, I'd like to tell you about a new site for tourists in the northern Philippines, A long-lasting drought has caused water in a dam there to disappear. As a result, the ruins of a centuries-old town showed up. The dried-up dam has exposed the foundations of some old buildings. This new-found site immediately drew the attention of the locals. Residents like Aurea Delos Santos, a retired nurse, express excitement at the site, It has become an attraction for them and foreign tourists, Therefore, it serves as an additional source of income in an area relying on agriculture. Some locals, like the fisherman Nelson Dellera, have taken the opportunity to profit by taking tourists to the site. The old town had been moved somewhere else in the 1970s during the dam's construction, The dam now plays an important role in providing water to the region, so the appearance of the site has also caused some concerns, locals hope the dam will be filled with water again, That's all for tonight's program. Thank you for your listening.

Last summer at a bookstore, my son Henry was fascinated by the cover of the first novel from Peter Brown’s middle-grade trilogy (三部曲). He then finished it in just two days. “Dad, why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad?” He tearfully asked me.
The story is set on a remote island, where a robot named Roz learns to survive and communicate with the island's creatures, and becomes part of the community. For my son, it was the first book he discovered on his own; the first to impact him with the mix of tragedy (悲剧)and joy.
When I finished the book, I knew why Henry loved it. In our book club discussion, he described how Brown’s pictures and words had made the story feel real. When talking about its final scenes, where Roz leaves to find repairs for her injured body, Henry cried again. His previous reading experiences had cheerful, “happily-ever-after” endings, but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions. I tried to explain how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments, but failed to fully persuade him.
Once our discussion ended, Henry requested to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it. He read the first two books repeatedly, so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot Protects.
We both agree it is worth the wait. Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat: “the poison tide.” Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas—not just happiness and sadness, but also, given the climate-change undercurrents (暗流), hope and despair.
And, here’s something special about Roz: her physical clumsiness (笨拙)and confusion about life, conveyed through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth. Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place, much like a child’s journey. Readers love Roz. They learn from her. Even better, they learn alongside her. Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book’s sad parts, getting him ready to appreciate that, sometimes, sadness isn’t a bad thing to feel.
24. What drove the author to read The Wild Robot?
A. Its attractive cover. B. Henry’s emotional reaction to it.
C. Its tragic ending. D. Henry’s tearful recommendation.
25. What is one theme of The Wild Robot Protects?

C. Man-robot relationship. D. Concerns over global issues.
26. What makes Roz in the trilogy special?
A. Her struggling experiences. B. Her childlike expressions.
C. Her robotic power. D. Her adventurous spirit.
27. Which message does this text seem to communicate?
A. Misfortune inspires great literary works.
B. Robot stories work like magic on children.
C. Reading literature facilitates personal growth.
D. Book discussions help kids survive tragedies.

A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny organisms(生物体), causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets(蟋蟀) and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers(护林员) found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,” says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.”
Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.
Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. “It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah. Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and alters(改变) their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.”
Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduces dangerous bacteria into water sources.
In national parks, trails (小路) are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. “It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.
28. What does Ashley mean by “But that can be all it takes.”?
A. The damage has been done.
B. The rangers’ work is efficient.
C. The cleanup takes a long time.
D. The pollution has spread widely.
29. What is a result of foreign waste in public lands?
A. A shortage of food supplies.
B. A shift in animal behavior.
C. A decline in bacterial species.
D. An increase in regional conflicts.
30. Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5?
A. To praise their benefits to desert life.
B. To highlight our damage to ecosystems.
C. To stress their significance for photography.
D. To show our unawareness of nature’s sensitivity.
31. What is conveyed in this passage?
A. We should encourage wildlife protection.
B. We should promote national park tourism.
C. We should leave no trace in the wild.
D. We should restore ecological damage.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类活动产生的垃圾等对公共土地生态系统造成的危害及相关影响。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Rangers found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,” says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.”(护林员在几小时内就找到了薯片袋。“但这可能就足够造成破坏了,”阿什利说。“我肯定有些蟋蟀已经吃到了一点零食。”)”可知,尽管护林员很快找到了薯片袋,但部分蟋蟀已经食用了零食,薯片袋带来的污染影响已经产生,即破坏已经造成。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and alters their behavior with sometimes disastrous results.(丢弃的垃圾让动物接触到非自然的食物,改变了它们的行为,有时还会导致灾难性的后果)”可知,公共土地上的外来垃圾会导致动物的行为发生改变。故选B项。
30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.(敏感生态系统面临的危险并不明显。布莱说:“人们很容易想到,哦,那边有野花。我不该踩到它们,但这些微小的生态系统中充满了对沙漠生命至关重要的微生物,它们带来了很多益处,包括减少侵蚀的风险和帮助吸收降雨,并可能需要数百年才能恢复到原来的状态。”)”可知,作者提及野花,是为了说明人们能意识到不能踩踏野花,但却忽视了野花所在的微小生态系统的敏感性,以此体现人们对自然敏感性的无知。故选D项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的““When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.(“当你看到这些数字时,这是令人难以置信的,”瓦茨说,他是科罗拉多州“不留痕迹中心”的负责人,该组织旨在最大限度地减少人类对自然的影响)”以及全文围绕人类丢弃垃圾、偏离步道等行为对生态系统的破坏展开可知,文章传达的核心是我们在野外活动时应做到不留痕迹,减少对自然的影响。故选C项。
D
In the vast and diverse world of animals, there exists odd gestures that often leave us humans puzzled and amazed. These gestures, which may seem strange or unusual to us, are actually fascinating glimpses (一瞥) into the unique behaviors and communication styles of our pets.
Animals want our attention, and sometimes they’re quite obvious about asking for it. Odd gestures are often our pets’ way of telling us to stop what we’re doing and play with them. It’s why Fido constantly follows his tail and why Kitty keeps rolling around. An extremely bored pet may choose “bad” behaviors to cause a reaction!
Sure, your dog loves you, but that’s not why he’s licking (舔) your face. A little dog learns to lick his mother’s mouth to obtain a little food, so Spot isn’t kissing you in our sense of the word; he just wants a snack.
Cat owners also misunderstand their pets’ kisses. While a cat might lick you to show love, sometimes she’ll do it to comfort herself. One way to tell if her licking is stress-related is whether it goes on for a long period of time.
At some point you’ve probably told these words to someone who made you angry. Dogs think similarly, avoiding eye contact with anyone who injures their feelings. Another sign of anger: yawning (打哈欠). A yawning dog may not be tired but anxious, not bored but stressed. Similarly, lip-licking — when there isn’t food around to bring about it — is another sign of threat.
You might think your dog is running around the backyard, having the time of his life while you’re away. But the reality is that he’s most likely just sitting in one spot for hours, waiting for you to return with anxiety. Dogs actually prefer to be inside, ideally with their owners.
32. If a dog intends to eat food, which action will it take?
A. It follows his tail. B. It barks constantly.
C. It licks its owner’s face. D. It keeps rolling around.
33. What do we learn about the gesture of a cat’s constant kisses?
A. It feels anxious. B. It feels excited.
C. It feels annoyed. D. It feels entertained.
34. What does it reveal when the dog sits for a long time without moving?
A. The dog is embarrassed.
B. The dog is tired of moving.
C. The dog is bored to play with you.
D. The dog is eager to see your return.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Why Your Pets Are Lovely Animals
B. What Your Pet Is Trying to Tell You
C. Why Odd Gestures Can Attract You
D. What Should We Do With Our Pets
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35.B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了宠物一些奇怪行为背后所传达的信息和意图。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Sure, your dog loves you, but that’s not why he’s licking your face. A little dog learns to lick his mother’s mouth to obtain a little food, so Spot isn’t kissing you in our sense of the word; he just wants a snack.(当然,你的狗爱你,但这并不是它舔你脸的原因。小狗学会舔妈妈的嘴来获取一点食物,所以Spot并不是我们所说的那样在亲吻你;它只是想要零食。)”可知,如果狗想吃食物,它会舔主人的脸。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“One way to tell if her licking is stress-related is whether it goes on for a long period of time.(判断它的舔舐是否与压力有关的一种方法是看它是否持续很长时间。)”可知,如果猫不停地舔舐,可能是因为它感到焦虑。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But the reality is that he’s most likely just sitting in one spot for hours, waiting for you to return with anxiety.(但现实是,它很可能只是在一个地方坐了几个小时,焦急地等你回来。)”可知,当狗长时间坐着不动时,它可能是在焦急地等你回来。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“These gestures, which may seem strange or unusual to us, are actually fascinating glimpses into the unique behaviors and communication styles of our pets.(这些对我们来说可能看起来奇怪或不寻常的姿势,实际上是对我们宠物独特行为和交流方式的迷人一瞥。)”可知,文章主要讲述了宠物一些奇怪行为背后所传达的信息和意图,所以C项“What Your Pet Is Trying to Tell You(你的宠物想告诉你什么)”是最佳标题。故选B。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

Dealing with Appearance Anxiety
Appearance anxiety means worrying too much about how you look, which is especially common among teenagers. ____36____ For example, spending hours checking carefully edited selfies on social media or comparing your appearance with others often leads to negative thoughts. Such constant worries not only damage self-confidence but may also lead to avoiding social situations like school events or group activities.
Fortunately, there are ways to handle these feelings.
The first step is to practice kindness toward yourself. Instead of thinking “My hair looks messy,” try saying “My hair protects me from the sun.” ____37____ Also, writing down three things your body helps you do daily (like “My arms let me hug my friends”) also builds lasting confidence.
Creative activities and sports offer healthy ways to shift focus. ____38____ Also, team sports like basketball teach players to value skills over appearance, with 72% of players claiming teamwork makes them value ability over appearance. Even easy activities like walking can calm your mind by producing stress-relieving chemicals.
____39____ Choose friends who avoid comments on looks and join school clubs that welcome everyone. Adults like teachers can teach helpful tricks, like using apps to record feelings or ways to stay positive. Cutting down time on apps that make you compare yourself is another smart move.
Remember, true beauty isn’t about being perfect physically. ____40____ When we care more about being kind and brave than looking a certain way, we start seeing real beauty in who people are, not just how they appear.
A. Limit your Internet exposure.
B. Turn to trusted people for help.
C. Social comparison is the major cause.
D. Regular exercise improves physical health.
E. Such changes boost how you view yourself.
F. It is about the special things that make you “you”.

67. 阅读所给材料,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。
Mary watched as students crowded around a notice announcing that the school’s radio station was looking for a second host. Butterflies filled her stomach—she had always dreamed of becoming a campus host.
The radio station was a big deal: it aired music, school announcements, and entertaining shows that everyone tuned into during lunch breaks. Olivia, the current host, was confident and talented, earning widespread admiration. In contrast, Mary was naturally shy, and speaking in front of others made her nervous. Still, she decided to give it a try, even as a classmate remarked, “You? You can barely read aloud in class without stumbling (磕磕绊绊)!”
Not discouraged, Mary practiced every evening by reading aloud from her textbooks. At first, she stumbled over her words, but gradually her reading grew smoother and her pronunciation clearer. She even borrowed books on public speaking from the library to learn vocal techniques. While her classmates chatted and laughed, she quietly absorbed every detail, determined to build her skills.
The day of the interview finally arrived. Holding the cold microphone, Mary felt her hands grow sweaty. She read the required texts perfectly—rehearsed (排练) thousands of times—but she struggled during the improvised (即兴的) part.
“Sir, I’ve been practicing for months, and I’m willing to work hard to learn,” she begged.
Mr. Carter smiled gently and said, “I appreciate your determination and your excellent reading. But during a live broadcast, anything can happen, and you need to draw your audience’s attention with genuine emotion rather than simply reading from a script.”
That day, no one passed the interview; everyone left except Mary. Lost in thought, she realized, “The problem isn’t with my pronunciation or reading…” It suddenly struck her that she could join the radio team in a supporting role to learn what it truly takes to be a host.
注意:
1. 写作词数应为150左右;
2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
She asked Mr. Carter for permission and began by taking on small tasks.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then one day, Mr. Carter rushed in with unexpected news: Olivia had suddenly fallen ill.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
She asked Mr. Carter for permission and began by taking on small tasks. Organizing scripts, preparing playlists and setting the facilities, Mary threw herself into these tasks, treating each one as an opportunity to learn. During breaks, she observed Olivia’s hosting techniques—how she handled technical issues and managed to make the audience feel excited and engaged. When no one was around, she would practice, pretending to host her own show, announcing imaginary school news, reciting poems, or introducing songs, just like Olivia did. As days turned into weeks, her notebook was filled with her thoughts and reflections. Mary felt more confident, and she hoped she could finally share her voice with the school.
Then one day, Mr. Carter rushed in with unexpected news: Olivia had suddenly fallen ill. Mary stood up, her palms sweating but voice steady. “I’ve learned a lot these days. May I try?” The studio fell silent. Mr. Carter studied her determined face and nodded. Holding the cold mic tightly, Mary’s clear voice flowed through speakers. She perfectly reported the news that day, played up beat music, and even shared fun stories about their school’s history. Students paused their sandwiches, recognizing the new voice. By broadcast end, the radio office buzzed with approval. Mr. Carter smiled, “Seems we already have our second host.” Mary was still holding the mic, which wasn’t cold anymore, but held the warmth of every host who’d ever panicked, triumphed, and grown here—including her.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Mary是一个害羞但怀揣电台主持梦想的女孩,尽管在公开场合讲话会让她紧张,甚至被同学嘲笑,但她仍坚持每晚练习朗读和学习演讲技巧。在学校电台招募新主持的面试中,她虽然完美完成了准备好的部分,却在即兴环节表现不佳。评委Mr. Carter指出,真正的主持需要真情实感而非机械朗读。尽管没通过面试,Mary并未放弃,而是决定以辅助身份加入电台团队,从中学习如何成为一名真正的主持人。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“她征求了Mr. Carter的同意,开始做一些小任务。”可知,第一段可描述Mary如何在电台团队中向他人学习,充实自己,让自己变得自信。
②由第二段首句内容“后来有一天,Mr. Carter带着意想不到的消息冲了进来:Olivia突然生病了。”可知,第二段可描述Mary抓住了这次机会,勇敢推荐自己去主持,并取得成功。
2. 续写线索:作辅助——每天完成工作的同时向他人学习——努力练习——变得自信————自荐——成功——感悟
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①投身于:throw oneself into/immerse oneself in
②观察:observe/notice
③宣布:announce/declare
情绪类
①坚定的:determined/ resolute
②兴奋的:excited/thrilled
【点睛】[高分句型1]When no one was around, she would practice, pretending to host her own show, announcing imaginary school news, reciting poems, or introducing songs, just like Olivia did.(when引导的时间状语从句)
[高分句型2]Mary was still holding the mic, which wasn’t cold anymore, but held the warmth of every host who’d ever panicked, triumphed, and grown here—including her.(which引导的非限制性定语从句)
