When my husband Paul persuaded me to adopt a dog, I was full of doubts. At 65, I thought we should be planning trips, not picking up dog hair. I never believed I could love a dog, especially not the dirty one with a torn ear from the shelter. I agreed only for Paul’s sake.
Casey burst into our lives like a storm. Our morning walks became a daily struggle. His powerful nose guided him, pulling me toward every piece of forgotten pizza or chicken nugget on the ground. The sight of a squirrel turned him into a crazy creature, leaping and howling, while I tried desperately to hold him back. I felt exhausted and defeated, often hearing the ironic question, “Who’s walking who?”
Hope arrived with Laurie, a young dog trainer. She explained that Casey was a hound — born to hunt. Laurie taught us not to yell in panic, but to use a firm, confident voice to break his focus. I practiced shouting, “Casey!” with authority, something that had always been hard for me. When he listened, he would get a treat and a “Good boy”. It was a new language we were learning together.
Slowly, the chaos began to abate. We started walking together not as enemies, but as a team. I learned his habits, and he began to respond to my voice. The constant pulling turned into a gentle rhythm except for an occasional excited one, the clinking (叮当声) of his tags keeping pace with my steps. My frustration softened into understanding, and then, into love.
The greatest gift, however, was peace. I had always been a restless sleeper. One sleepless night, I found Casey sound asleep on the couch, breathing deeply and calmly. I lay my head on his warm chest, and for the first time, felt my worries melt away with his steady breath.
This unexpected companion, once a source of anxiety, had quietly taught me how to find rest and acceptance. He was no longer just Paul’s dog; he had become the heart of our home.
4. How did the author initially feel about walking the dog?
A. Scared. B. Suspicious. C. Frustrated. D. Indifferent.
5. Why did Casey behave badly during walks at the beginning?
A. He wasn’t familiar with the routes well. B. He couldn’t resist his nature to explore.
C. He couldn’t concentrate without a trainer. D. He didn’t like the author’s initial approach.
6. What does the underlined word “abate” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Stop. B. Emerge. C. Unfold. D. Fade.
7. What was the greatest gift the author received from Casey?
A. A cure for restlessness. B. A close friendship.
C. A sense of achievement. D. A positive attitude.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者起初因丈夫劝说收养流浪狗Casey,遛狗的混乱让她沮丧,经驯犬师指导后与狗狗磨合融洽,更从狗狗身上获得内心平静,它也成为了家庭的核心。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I felt exhausted and defeated, often hearing the ironic question, “Who’s walking who?”(我感到精疲力竭、一败涂地,耳边常常回荡着那句带有讽刺意味的问题:“到底是谁在遛谁?”)”可知,作者最初对于遛狗这件事感到沮丧。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Hope arrived with Laurie, a young dog trainer. She explained that Casey was a hound — born to hunt.(希望随着一位年轻的训犬师劳里一起到来,劳里是一位年轻的训犬师。她解释说,凯西是一只猎犬——天生就是用来狩猎的)”可知,凯西在散步时一开始表现得不好是因为他无法抑制自己探索的天性。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“We started walking together not as enemies, but as a team. I learned his habits, and he began to respond to my voice.(我们开始一起行走,不再是敌人,而是一个团队。我了解了他的习惯,他也开始回应我的声音)”可知,作者和狗狗从“敌人”变成团队,狗狗回应指令,拉扯变成轻柔的步调,说明混乱是逐渐减弱、消退的,故划线词意思是“消失”。故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The greatest gift, however, was peace.(然而,最珍贵的礼物便是平静)”可知,作者从凯西那里得到的最珍贵的礼物是一种缓解烦躁不安的方法。故选A。

In Guizhou’s mountains, the community-run, sponsor-free Village Super League, Cun Chao (村超) in Chinese, has become a national hit, drawing 50,000-strong crowds and hundreds of millions of livestream views with prizes like live pigs and cattle. It is a far cry from China’s professional football league, which has been deeply involved in scandals (丑闻).
The success of the Cun Chao is part of a broader boom in rural sports across China. The Cun BA (Village Basketball Association) in Guizhou and Cun VA (Village Volleyball Association) in Hainan have also gone viral. These events are more than just games. They are a way for rural communities to showcase their culture, boost tourism, and revitalize local economies.
Their rise aligns (契合) with China’s “rural revitalization” policy, changing focus from urbanization to narrowing the urban-rural gap. For decades, the focus was on urbanization and industrialization. But in recent years, the government has emphasized “rural revitalization”, a policy aimed at improving living standards in the countryside and narrowing the urban-rural gap. Therefore, rural sports fit neatly into this agenda. They promote physical activity, strengthen community bonds, and create new economic opportunities. The government has taken notice. In June, a team was sent to Rongjiang county, where the Cun Chao is held, to study its success. Local officials have also embraced the trend, investing in sports facilities and promoting rural sports as a tourist attraction.
But rural sports face challenges. Many events rely on volunteer labor and donations, making them easy to suffer from funding shortages. There is also a risk that commercialization could damage their grassroots charm. Some local governments are already trying to cash in, organizing “official” rural sports tournaments that lack the authenticity (真实性) of community-run events. Despite these challenges, the future of rural sports in China looks bright. The public’s appetite for authentic, community-focused sports is growing, and the government’s support for rural revitalization shows no signs of slowing down. The Cun Chao and other rural sports events have proven that sports can be a powerful force for social and economic change in the countryside.
8. What can we learn about the Cun Chao from paragraph 1?
A. Its prizes are mainly to attract more viewers.
B. It is similar to China’s professional football league.
C. It is funded by big companies and local governments.
D. It gains nationwide popularity with massive audiences.
9. How does the author develop Paragraph 3?
A. By analyzing cause and effect.
B. By following the order of time.
C. By providing a specific example.
D. By examining similarities and differences.
10. What is a challenge for the development of rural sports?
A. The lack of professional athletes. B. The public’s decreasing interest.
C. The potential loss of grassroots characteristics. D. The complete dependence on governments.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Cun Chao: A New Trend of Football Matches.
B. Rural Sports in China: Development and Challenges.
C. Commercialization: A Big Threat to Grassroots Sports.
D. Rural Revitalization: The Goal to Develop Rural Sports.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍中国乡村体育赛事的兴起、意义及挑战。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In Guizhou’s mountains, the community-run, sponsor-free Village Super League, Cun Chao (村超) in Chinese, has become a national hit, drawing 50,000-strong crowds and hundreds of millions of livestream views with prizes like live pigs and cattle.(在贵州的山区,由社区运营、无赞助的乡村超级联赛——中文称为“村超”——已成为全国性热点,吸引了5万名观众和数亿次直播观看,奖品包括活猪和活牛。)”可知,村超在全国范围内受到欢迎,拥有大量观众。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Their rise aligns (契合) with China’s “rural revitalization” policy, changing focus from urbanization to narrowing the urban-rural gap. For decades, the focus was on urbanization and industrialization. But in recent years, the government has emphasized “rural revitalization”, a policy aimed at improving living standards in the countryside and narrowing the urban-rural gap. Therefore, rural sports fit neatly into this agenda. They promote physical activity, strengthen community bonds, and create new economic opportunities. The government has taken notice. In June, a team was sent to Rongjiang county, where the Cun Chao is held, to study its success. Local officials have also embraced the trend, investing in sports facilities and promoting rural sports as a tourist attraction.(乡村体育的兴起,与中国的乡村振兴战略高度契合,国家发展重心也从城镇化建设逐步转向缩小城乡差距。数十年来,发展的重心一直围绕城镇化与工业化展开;而近年来,政府大力推进乡村振兴战略,这项政策旨在提升乡村生活水平、缩小城乡发展差距。乡村体育恰好完美融入这一发展规划:既推动全民健身,又凝聚社群联结,更创造了新的经济发展机遇。政府也已关注到这一趋势,今年6月,相关工作组专程前往村超举办地榕江县调研其成功经验;地方政府同样紧跟这一潮流,加大体育设施投入,将乡村体育打造为特色旅游名片。)”可知,作者通过分析乡村体育兴起与政策调整的因果关系展开段落。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“There is also a risk that commercialization could damage their grassroots charm. Some local governments are already trying to cash in, organizing “official” rural sports tournaments that lack the authenticity (真实性) of community-run events.(还存在商业化可能破坏其草根魅力的风险。一些地方政府已试图从中牟利,组织缺乏社区运营赛事真实性的“官方”乡村体育锦标赛。)”可知,乡村体育发展的一大挑战是商业化可能导致其草根特色流失。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“In Guizhou’s mountains, the community-run, sponsor-free Village Super League, Cun Chao (村超) in Chinese, has become a national hit, drawing 50,000-strong crowds and hundreds of millions of livestream views with prizes like live pigs and cattle.(在贵州的山区,由社区运营、无赞助的乡村超级联赛——中文称为“村超”——已成为全国性热点,吸引了5万名观众和数亿次直播观看,奖品包括活猪和活牛。)”、最后一段中“There is also a risk that commercialization could damage their grassroots charm. Some local governments are already trying to cash in, organizing “official” rural sports tournaments that lack the authenticity (真实性) of community-run events.(还存在商业化可能破坏其草根魅力的风险。一些地方政府已试图从中牟利,组织缺乏社区运营赛事真实性的“官方”乡村体育锦标赛。)”可知,全文围绕乡村体育的发展与挑战展开。“Rural Sports in China: Development and Challenges.(中国乡村体育:发展与挑战)”符合题意。故选B。
D
Several years ago, Sibill Schilter, a student at the University of Zurich, learned that her school was hiring people to test whether a smartphone App could help someone change their personality traits. Curious to learn more about herself, Schilter signed up. Maybe, she thought, she was a little too agreeable.
For decades, psychologists have debated whether these traits are fixed or changeable. The study that Schilter participated in was designed to test whether using an App daily for three months would be enough to create noticeable and lasting personality changes. Each participant chose one trait they wanted to increase or decrease.
The App, called PEACH (PErsonality coACH), works like a diary, a dashboard (仪表板), and a text messaging channel rolled into one. On the dashboard, users can see an overview of their goals, a calendar that shows their progress, and their tasks for the week. For instance, someone who wants to bemore careful may be assigned to do homework for one hour after coming home from classes. The App sends the user two push notifications every day to remind him/her, and if the user makes progress, it will show up on the dashboard.
Users can also talk with a sort of digital coach, a chatbot also named “Peach”, about their daily activities. The chatbot might ask which task they are working on or how stressed they are. Users can also choose to complete a daily diary, doing a self-assessment of five main personality traits. (For example: How would you describe yourself today — shy or outgoing?)
In a study published in February in Proceedings of the National, Academy of Sciences the researchers concluded that the App works. The study was conducted with 1,523 volunteers. Compared to the control group, the users who received the smartphone intervention showed more self-reported personality trait changes toward their goals.
Overall, friends, family members, or close partners who volunteered to observe the participants also noticed the personality changes, with both self-reported and observer-reported changes existing for three months after the end of the study.
12. Why did Sibill Schilter sign up for the test?
A To understand her personality better. B. To make changes to a smartphone App.
C. To make friends with outgoing people. D. To learn more about goal-setting.
13. What are participants required to do before the test?
A. To use the App for three months. B. To learn to establish realistic goals.
C. To share their dream with each other. D. To consider the changes they want to make.
14. How does the App remind its users of their tasks?
A By sending out a special signal. B. By requiring them to keep a diary.
C. By sending messages to them. D. By displaying their goals constantly.
15. What can we learn about the results of the study?
A. The App needs to be improved in many ways.
B. The App turns the users more outgoing.
C. The App can also influence the observers’ behavior.
D. The App has a lasting effect on the users’ personalities.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】

【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Overall, friends, family members, or close partners who volunteered to observe the participants also noticed the personality changes, with both self-reported and observer-reported changes existing for three months after the end of the study.(总的来说,自愿观察参与者的朋友、家人或亲密伴侣也注意到了性格的变化,在研究结束后的三个月里,自我报告和观察者报告的变化都存在)”可知,研究发现,这款应用对用户的性格有持久的影响。故选D。

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。
Deconstruct Your Favourite Books
When you read a book you wish you’d written, start the deconstruction process by finding what elements work. ____16____ Instead, it’s to adapt the techniques to your own projects so you can write stories that shine with originality. Deconstructing point of view, pace, structure and how to reveal character through detail can ensure your writing success.
Consider point of view
Let’s say, for example, you admire the multiple points of view found in Robert B. Parker’s Night Passage. Go through, chapter by chapter. You’ll discover that not only is each chapter told from one character’s point of view (POV), but occasionally, there are shifts in POV within chapters. ____17____
Monitor pace by looking at plot twists
Some stories move at a leisurely pace. ____18____ In general, the more character-driven the story, the slower the pace. The more plot-driven the story, the faster the pace. As you deconstruct your chosen examples, monitor the placement of unexpected incidents.
____19____
To understand how framework serves storytelling, consider how Ernest Hemingway, in The Old Man and the Sea, uses the “story mountain” model. The plot — from the struggle, to the victory, to the loss — is well-organized, building a clear outline that makes the theme of resilience unmistakably clear.
Master the technique: “show, don’t tell”
____20____ In Edgar Snow’s Red Star Over China, “Mao sat on the edge of the plain wooden bed, leaning forward, eagerly questioning me about world politics, his speech slow, his laughter frequent and hearty.” Instead of describing Mao as “humble and approachable”, Snow shows us his eager posture and his hearty laughter, letting the details paint the picture.
A. Explore the theme
B. Focus on structure
C. The goal isn’t to copy the work, of course.
D. Others never give readers a chance to catch their breath.
E. To see how it works in practice, turn to influential books.
F. The key lies in how authors reveal character through dialogue.
G. This technique allows readers to observe how various characters think.
【答案】16. C 17. G 18. D 19. B 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了解构喜爱书籍的方法,包括关注视角、节奏、结构和“展示而非讲述”的技巧,旨在帮助人们将这些技巧运用到自身写作中。
【16题详解】
上文“When you read a book you wish you’d written, start the deconstruction process by finding what elements work. (当你读到一本自己也想写出来的书时,就从找出其中的精彩创作手法开始进行解构)”提出要对优秀书籍进行解构,下文“Instead, it’s to adapt the techniques to your own projects so you can write stories that shine with originality. (相反,解构的目的是将这些手法运用到自己的创作中,让你写出的故事充满独特的魅力)”用instead表转折说明解构的真正目的,C选项“The goal isn’t to copy the work, of course. (当然,解构的目的并不是照搬这部作品)”先否定照搬的错误认知,与下文形成转折衔接,承上启下,符合语境。故选C。
【17题详解】
上文“You’ll discover that not only is each chapter told from one character’s point of view (POV), but occasionally, there are shifts in POV within chapters. (你会发现,这本书不仅每一章都以一个角色的视角展开叙述,有时在章节内部也会出现视角的转换)”介绍了书籍中多视角切换的写作手法,G选项“This technique allows readers to observe how various characters think. (这种写作手法能让读者了解不同角色的内心想法)”承接上文内容,具体说明这一写作手法的作用,衔接自然,符合语境。故选G。
【18题详解】
上文“Some stories move at a leisurely pace. (有些故事的叙事节奏十分舒缓)”描述了一种故事的叙事节奏,D选项“Others never give readers a chance to catch their breath. (而另一些故事的叙事节奏则紧凑到让读者喘不过气来)”用some和others的固定搭配形成对比,介绍了另一种截然不同的叙事节奏,前后句式呼应,符合语境。故选D。
【19题详解】
下文“To understand how framework serves storytelling, consider how Ernest Hemingway, in The Old Man and the Sea, uses the “story mountain” model. (要想理解故事结构是如何为叙事服务的,可以看看欧内斯特·海明威在《老人与海》中是如何运用“故事山”叙事模型的)”以名著为例讲解故事结构对叙事的作用,其中framework对应structure,B选项“Focus on structure (关注故事结构)”作为段首句,总领本段核心内容,自然引出下文对故事结构的具体分析,符合语境。故选B。
【20题详解】
下文“In Edgar Snow’s Red Star Over China, “Mao sat on the edge of the plain wooden bed, leaning forward, eagerly questioning me about world politics, his speech slow, his laughter frequent and hearty.” (在埃德加·斯诺的《红星照耀中国》中有这样的描写:“毛泽东坐在一张简陋的木床床边,身体前倾,热切地向我询问国际政治的情况,他说话的语速缓慢,笑声却爽朗而频繁。”)”举经典书籍中的实例说明该技巧的实际运用,E选项“To see how it works in practice, turn to influential books. (要想看看这一技巧在实际创作中的运用,不妨参考一些有影响力的书籍)”承上启下,衔接技巧介绍与实际案例,符合语境。故选E。

Now, instead of gazing up at the tree, I can ____31____ her in my hands. The bowls are smooth, not like her bark. But they are the old maple in a ____32____ life, though a different form.

【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:借助现有的大数据分析技术,人工智能驱动的工具正让医疗服务在全国范围内变得更高效、更易获取。此处为固定搭配“With the...available”,表示“借助现有的……”,with表“凭借、借助”,句首单词首字母大写。故填With。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:借助现有的大数据分析技术,人工智能驱动的工具正让医疗服务在全国范围内变得更高效、更易获取。空前有并列连词and,与前面的efficient(形容词)并列,且有more修饰,故此处用形容词;access的形容词形式为accessible,意为“易获取的,可使用的”。作宾语补足语。故填accessible。
【38题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:这些工具被设计用于协助医生精准分析医学影像,并减轻重复性工作的负担。主语These tools与design之间为被动关系,表“被设计”,且本文为一般现在时,描述客观事实,故用一般现在时的被动语态,其结构为“am/is/are+过去分词”,主语为复数,故填are designed。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:这些工具被设计用于协助医生精准分析医学影像,并减轻重复性工作的负担。此处修饰动词analyzing,需用副词作状语;accurate的副词形式为accurately,意为“精准地,准确地”。故填accurately。
【40题详解】

【41题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:随着人口老龄化,高质量医疗服务的需求开始增长,许多科技企业自此在该领域进行了大量投资/一直在该领域大量投资。根据时间状语since the demand...began to grow可知,此处应用现在完成时;也可用现在完成进行时,表动作从过去开始,持续到现在并可能继续下去,更能体现“持续投资”的含义。主语Many tech companies为复数,故填have invested/ have been investing。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一款领先的健康应用程序目前服务超1500万用户,提供从在线咨询到用药提醒的各类服务。句中已有谓语动词serves,且无连词连接,故此处用非谓语动词作伴随状语;offer与逻辑主语A leading health app之间为主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填offering。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:它成为了患者与医疗专业人员之间的桥梁,尤其惠及偏远地区的人群。medical professional意为“医疗专业人员”,为可数名词,此处表泛指,无冠词修饰,故用复数形式professionals。故填professionals。
【44题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:专家们强调的是,人工智能应该成为人类医生的助手和伙伴,而非替代品。此处为主语从句,从句中emphasize缺少宾语,指“强调的事情”,故用连接代词What引导,句首单词首字母大写。故填What。
【45题详解】

【答案】范文
Eat with Good Manners
Dear teachers and classmates,
Today, I want to call on everyone to eat with good manners. Although most of us behave well in the cafeteria, some uncivilized phenomena still exist: some push in line when getting food, others speak loudly, breaking the peaceful atmosphere. What’s worse, some even throw tableware carelessly after meals, causing trouble to canteen workers.
Good dining manners symbolize our personal cultivation and a civilized campus. It’s not hard to be polite at table: keep quiet, wait in line patiently and handle tableware gently. Every small polite act can make our cafeteria better.
Let’s work together to develop good dining habits and build a clean, quiet and harmonious cafeteria. Thank you!

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
“No 7, Jobie Nymble, takes the lead,” cried the announcer. “Just one more hurdle (跨栏) and ...” Cheers broke out. “Jobie Nymble from Riverside Middle School takes first place in the girls’ 100-meter hurdles!” The crowd went wild.
“County championships (锦标赛), here we come,” screamed Jobie, patting her green track spikes (钉鞋). They were her lucky shoes and she loved them. “Next Saturday, we’re taking home the gold,” Jobie whispered to her spikes, excitedly retying them.
“Don’t forget, guys,” said Marisol, one of her teammates. “My birthday party is next Friday at Hidden Park.”
Next weekend couldn’t come soon enough. Jobie smiled with excitement all week long. At track practice, she leaped over those hurdles faster than she’d ever leaped before. And it wasn’t long before everything in her path was a hurdle: flowerpots in her front yard, sidewalk cracks on the way to the bus stop and even her little sister, Teka!
The day of Marisol’s party, Jobie put on her favorite outfit: her blue shorts, an old track T-shirt from her dad, and her lucky spikes. “Perfect.” She smiled at herself in the mirror.
The party was under way when Jobie arrived at Hidden Park. She stopped by the track first, planning to do some practice.
“Jobie!” Two of Jobie’s teammates rushed toward her, breathless and barefoot. “Come on,” they yelled. “You have to try the slide.”
Jobie looked toward the party area. Suddenly, she saw it. The biggest slide she had ever seen was on the far side of the park. Smiling kids zoomed down the slide at unspeakable speeds. Without thinking twice, Jobie took off her spikes and dashed (猛冲) toward the slide. Its ladder stretched to the sky, but she reached the top in no time, closed her eyes and let go.
Jobie couldn’t get enough. She tried again and again. When it was finally time to go home, she unwillingly made her way back to the track where she’d left her shoes.
续写部分:
注意:1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

Paragraph 1:
As she eyed the area from a distance, panic set in.

Paragraph 2:
The next day, Jobie turned up in a new pair of spikes for the championships.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 As she eyed the area from a distance, panic set in. Her lucky shoes were gone! Just like a chicken with its head cut off, she searched every inch of the park, for three hours. Still no luck! Finally, she collapsed and sat down on the runway, with tears streaming down. “Those are my lucky shoes. Without them, how could I win the race tomorrow?” sobbed Jobie. Finally, she had to go home barefoot. Her mother saw her in such a low mood, and when she learned what had happened, she said to Jobie, “Honey, you won not because of your lucky shoes, but because you are who you are. No matter what shoes you wear, you can win.” Jobie looked up and wondered “Is it true? Can I win without my lucky shoes?” Thanks to Mom, she wasn’t so sad.
The next day, Jobie turned up in a new pair of spikes for the championships. Though in doubt, Jobie wanted to see if the lucky shoes were that important. Quickly, the whistle blew. Jobie started to run as fast as she can. The first hurdle, the second…It seemed that Jobie and the new pair of spikes matched with each other very well. Finally, a lovely woman voice announced just as before “Jobie Nymble from Riverside Middle School takes first place in the girls’ 100-meter hurdles!” The crowd went wild, again! Jobie smiled in relief. Now she knew that it is not the green track spikes that make her lucky, but she herself does.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Jobie丢失了自己的幸运鞋,崩溃大哭,认为自己赢不了明天的比赛。妈妈安慰她说,幸运鞋没有那么重要。第二天,穿着新鞋的Jobie走上赛场,尽全力比赛,最终同样赢得冠军的故事。

When my husband Paul persuaded me to adopt a dog, I was full of doubts. At 65, I thought we should be planning trips, not picking up dog hair. I never believed I could love a dog, especially not the dirty one with a torn ear from the shelter. I agreed only for Paul’s sake.
Casey burst into our lives like a storm. Our morning walks became a daily struggle. His powerful nose guided him, pulling me toward every piece of forgotten pizza or chicken nugget on the ground. The sight of a squirrel turned him into a crazy creature, leaping and howling, while I tried desperately to hold him back. I felt exhausted and defeated, often hearing the ironic question, “Who’s walking who?”
Hope arrived with Laurie, a young dog trainer. She explained that Casey was a hound — born to hunt. Laurie taught us not to yell in panic, but to use a firm, confident voice to break his focus. I practiced shouting, “Casey!” with authority, something that had always been hard for me. When he listened, he would get a treat and a “Good boy”. It was a new language we were learning together.
Slowly, the chaos began to abate. We started walking together not as enemies, but as a team. I learned his habits, and he began to respond to my voice. The constant pulling turned into a gentle rhythm except for an occasional excited one, the clinking (叮当声) of his tags keeping pace with my steps. My frustration softened into understanding, and then, into love.
The greatest gift, however, was peace. I had always been a restless sleeper. One sleepless night, I found Casey sound asleep on the couch, breathing deeply and calmly. I lay my head on his warm chest, and for the first time, felt my worries melt away with his steady breath.
This unexpected companion, once a source of anxiety, had quietly taught me how to find rest and acceptance. He was no longer just Paul’s dog; he had become the heart of our home.
4. How did the author initially feel about walking the dog?
A. Scared. B. Suspicious. C. Frustrated. D. Indifferent.
5. Why did Casey behave badly during walks at the beginning?
A. He wasn’t familiar with the routes well. B. He couldn’t resist his nature to explore.
C. He couldn’t concentrate without a trainer. D. He didn’t like the author’s initial approach.

A. Stop. B. Emerge. C. Unfold. D. Fade.
7. What was the greatest gift the author received from Casey?
A. A cure for restlessness. B. A close friendship.
C. A sense of achievement. D. A positive attitude.
C
In Guizhou’s mountains, the community-run, sponsor-free Village Super League, Cun Chao (村超) in Chinese, has become a national hit, drawing 50,000-strong crowds and hundreds of millions of livestream views with prizes like live pigs and cattle. It is a far cry from China’s professional football league, which has been deeply involved in scandals (丑闻).
The success of the Cun Chao is part of a broader boom in rural sports across China. The Cun BA (Village Basketball Association) in Guizhou and Cun VA (Village Volleyball Association) in Hainan have also gone viral. These events are more than just games. They are a way for rural communities to showcase their culture, boost tourism, and revitalize local economies.
Their rise aligns (契合) with China’s “rural revitalization” policy, changing focus from urbanization to narrowing the urban-rural gap. For decades, the focus was on urbanization and industrialization. But in recent years, the government has emphasized “rural revitalization”, a policy aimed at improving living standards in the countryside and narrowing the urban-rural gap. Therefore, rural sports fit neatly into this agenda. They promote physical activity, strengthen community bonds, and create new economic opportunities. The government has taken notice. In June, a team was sent to Rongjiang county, where the Cun Chao is held, to study its success. Local officials have also embraced the trend, investing in sports facilities and promoting rural sports as a tourist attraction.
But rural sports face challenges. Many events rely on volunteer labor and donations, making them easy to suffer from funding shortages. There is also a risk that commercialization could damage their grassroots charm. Some local governments are already trying to cash in, organizing “official” rural sports tournaments that lack the authenticity (真实性) of community-run events. Despite these challenges, the future of rural sports in China looks bright. The public’s appetite for authentic, community-focused sports is growing, and the government’s support for rural revitalization shows no signs of slowing down. The Cun Chao and other rural sports events have proven that sports can be a powerful force for social and economic change in the countryside.
8. What can we learn about the Cun Chao from paragraph 1?
A. Its prizes are mainly to attract more viewers.
B. It is similar to China’s professional football league.
C. It is funded by big companies and local governments.
D. It gains nationwide popularity with massive audiences.
9. How does the author develop Paragraph 3?
A. By analyzing cause and effect.
B. By following the order of time.
C. By providing a specific example.
D. By examining similarities and differences.
10. What is a challenge for the development of rural sports?
A. The lack of professional athletes. B. The public’s decreasing interest.
C. The potential loss of grassroots characteristics. D. The complete dependence on governments.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Cun Chao: A New Trend of Football Matches.
B. Rural Sports in China: Development and Challenges.
C. Commercialization: A Big Threat to Grassroots Sports.
D. Rural Revitalization: The Goal to Develop Rural Sports.
D
Several years ago, Sibill Schilter, a student at the University of Zurich, learned that her school was hiring people to test whether a smartphone App could help someone change their personality traits. Curious to learn more about herself, Schilter signed up. Maybe, she thought, she was a little too agreeable.
For decades, psychologists have debated whether these traits are fixed or changeable. The study that Schilter participated in was designed to test whether using an App daily for three months would be enough to create noticeable and lasting personality changes. Each participant chose one trait they wanted to increase or decrease.
The App, called PEACH (PErsonality coACH), works like a diary, a dashboard (仪表板), and a text messaging channel rolled into one. On the dashboard, users can see an overview of their goals, a calendar that shows their progress, and their tasks for the week. For instance, someone who wants to bemore careful may be assigned to do homework for one hour after coming home from classes. The App sends the user two push notifications every day to remind him/her, and if the user makes progress, it will show up on the dashboard.
Users can also talk with a sort of digital coach, a chatbot also named “Peach”, about their daily activities. The chatbot might ask which task they are working on or how stressed they are. Users can also choose to complete a daily diary, doing a self-assessment of five main personality traits. (For example: How would you describe yourself today — shy or outgoing?)
In a study published in February in Proceedings of the National, Academy of Sciences the researchers concluded that the App works. The study was conducted with 1,523 volunteers. Compared to the control group, the users who received the smartphone intervention showed more self-reported personality trait changes toward their goals.
Overall, friends, family members, or close partners who volunteered to observe the participants also noticed the personality changes, with both self-reported and observer-reported changes existing for three months after the end of the study.
12. Why did Sibill Schilter sign up for the test?
A. To understand her personality better. B. To make changes to a smartphone App.
C. To make friends with outgoing people. D. To learn more about goal-setting.
13. What are participants required to do before the test?
A. To use the App for three months. B. To learn to establish realistic goals.
C. To share their dream with each other. D. To consider the changes they want to make.
14. How does the App remind its users of their tasks?
A. By sending out a special signal. B. By requiring them to keep a diary.
C. By sending messages to them. D. By displaying their goals constantly.
15. What can we learn about the results of the study?
A. The App needs to be improved in many ways.
B. The App turns the users more outgoing.
C. The App can also influence the observers’ behavior.
D. The App has a lasting effect on the users’ personalities.

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。
Deconstruct Your Favourite Books
When you read a book you wish you’d written, start the deconstruction process by finding what elements work. ____16____ Instead, it’s to adapt the techniques to your own projects so you can write stories that shine with originality. Deconstructing point of view, pace, structure and how to reveal character through detail can ensure your writing success.
Consider point of view
Let’s say, for example, you admire the multiple points of view found in Robert B. Parker’s Night Passage. Go through, chapter by chapter. You’ll discover that not only is each chapter told from one character’s point of view (POV), but occasionally, there are shifts in POV within chapters. ____17____
Monitor pace by looking at plot twists
Some stories move at a leisurely pace. ____18____ In general, the more character-driven the story, the slower the pace. The more plot-driven the story, the faster the pace. As you deconstruct your chosen examples, monitor the placement of unexpected incidents.
____19____
To understand how framework serves storytelling, consider how Ernest Hemingway, in The Old Man and the Sea, uses the “story mountain” model. The plot — from the struggle, to the victory, to the loss — is well-organized, building a clear outline that makes the theme of resilience unmistakably clear.
Master the technique: “show, don’t tell”
____20____ In Edgar Snow’s Red Star Over China, “Mao sat on the edge of the plain wooden bed, leaning forward, eagerly questioning me about world politics, his speech slow, his laughter frequent and hearty.” Instead of describing Mao as “humble and approachable”, Snow shows us his eager posture and his hearty laughter, letting the details paint the picture.
A. Explore the theme
B Focus on structure
C. The goal isn’t to copy the work, of course.
D. Others never give readers a chance to catch their breath.
E. To see how it works in practice, turn to influential books.
F. The key lies in how authors reveal character through dialogue.
G. This technique allows readers to observe how various characters think.

And she was a tree with ____23____: not straight and narrow, but quirky (古怪的), with a trunk that had broken into four and branches that spread this way and that, unlike those ordinary trees that lack such distinct charm.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
“No 7, Jobie Nymble, takes the lead,” cried the announcer. “Just one more hurdle (跨栏) and ...” Cheers broke out. “Jobie Nymble from Riverside Middle School takes first place in the girls’ 100-meter hurdles!” The crowd went wild.
“County championships (锦标赛), here we come,” screamed Jobie, patting her green track spikes (钉鞋). They were her lucky shoes and she loved them. “Next Saturday, we’re taking home the gold,” Jobie whispered to her spikes, excitedly retying them.
“Don’t forget, guys,” said Marisol, one of her teammates. “My birthday party is next Friday at Hidden Park.”
Next weekend couldn’t come soon enough. Jobie smiled with excitement all week long. At track practice, she leaped over those hurdles faster than she’d ever leaped before. And it wasn’t long before everything in her path was a hurdle: flowerpots in her front yard, sidewalk cracks on the way to the bus stop and even her little sister, Teka!
The day of Marisol’s party, Jobie put on her favorite outfit: her blue shorts, an old track T-shirt from her dad, and her lucky spikes. “Perfect.” She smiled at herself in the mirror.
The party was under way when Jobie arrived at Hidden Park. She stopped by the track first, planning to do some practice.
“Jobie!” Two of Jobie’s teammates rushed toward her, breathless and barefoot. “Come on,” they yelled. “You have to try the slide.”
Jobie looked toward the party area. Suddenly, she saw it. The biggest slide she had ever seen was on the far side of the park. Smiling kids zoomed down the slide at unspeakable speeds. Without thinking twice, Jobie took off her spikes and dashed (猛冲) toward the slide. Its ladder stretched to the sky, but she reached the top in no time, closed her eyes and let go.
Jobie couldn’t get enough. She tried again and again. When it was finally time to go home, she unwillingly made her way back to the track where she’d left her shoes.
