I bought an inexpensive microwavable moist-heat eye compress online and use it for several minutes at bedtime to help open the oil glands. Plus, the warmth helps me relax and fall asleep. No more messy washcloth compresses for me! — Julie Evans Minneapolis, Minnesota Letter 2 The Quality Inn in Kodak, Tennessee, turning into a shelter during a historic winter storm showed so much kindness that I read the story twice. For Sean Patel, to open his hotel to the locals in need during the storm at holiday time at just $25 (the lowest price the corporate regulations would allow) was priceless. The town is a better place because of Patel and his staff. — Annette Wolfe Shelton, Connecticut Letter 3 You suggested using toothpicks to raise a pot lid and prevent the liquid in the pot from boiling over. I prevent that by just laying a wooden spoon over the open pot. The spoon will pop most of the bubbles on contact, but it hasn’t failed me yet! — Pam Snellgrove LaGrange, Georgia Letter 4 The story about a diver, Carter Viss, who lost his arm after getting hit by a speedboat — and then forgave the driver — is among the most compelling stories I’ve ever read. Here is a story of health and loss, sea and shore, healing and the hope to endure out of the darkness into the light. Simply marvelous! — Leander Jones Northport, Alabama 1.

Plus, the warmth helps me relax and fall asleep. No more messy washcloth compresses for me!(我在网上买了一个便宜的微波湿热眼罩，睡前用几分钟帮助打开油脂腺。此外，温暖还能帮助我放松和入睡。我不再用乱七八糟的毛巾敷了！)”可知，这封信主要讲述作者应对眼部问题，故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四封信中“The story about a diver, Carter Viss, who lost his arm after getting hit by a speedboat — and then forgave the driver — is among the most compelling stories I’ve ever read.(潜水员卡特·维斯（Carter Viss）被快艇撞到后失去手臂，然后原谅了司机，这是我读过的最引人入胜的故事之一)”可知，卡特·维斯在事故后原谅了司机，故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一封信中“Your article mentioned a doctor’s visit for “heat and compression” treatment.(您的文章中提到了医生建议的“热敷加压”疗法)”，第二封信中“The Quality Inn in Kodak, Tennessee, turning into a shelter during a historic winter storm showed so much kindness that I read the story twice.

As for me , I shared none of their canine lust. But why , they pleaded. “Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it. ” Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” Yes, yes , and yes .”I don’t believe you .” We will . We promise. They didn’t . From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day ) , neither thought to walk the dog . While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots , to schedule her vet appointments , to feed and clean her , Misty knew this on day one . As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large) , she calculated , The medium one is the sucker in the pack. Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合) . She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers , beam her need , and then wait , trusting I would understand — which , strangely , I almost always did . In no time , she became my feet as I read , and splaying across my stomach as I watched television . Even so , part of me continued to resent walking duty . Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair , I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked . “Not fair , ” I’ d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home . Then one day — January 1, 2007 , to be exact — my husband ‘ s doctor uttered an unthinkable word : leukemia ( 白血病) .With that , I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital , doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at the time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained. Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with. As the months went by，I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise. When serious illness visits your household, it's , not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you acts differently. Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joe's blood counts or ’one marrow test results. On the street or in the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels! She Was so joyous that even on the worst days, she could make me smile. On a daily basis she reminded me that life goes on. After Joe died in 2009，Misty slept on his pillow. I'm grateful一to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, I've come to enjoy m’ walks with Misty. As I watch her chase after a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminds me, too, that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future , there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment. 4. why didn't the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story? A. She was afraid the dog would get the family, into trouble. B. It would be her business to take care of the dog C. Her husband and daughter were united as one. D. She didn't want to spoil he’ daughter. 5. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to " The medium one is the sucker in the pack” (Paragraph 3)? A. "The middle-aged person loves me most.” B. ”The medium-sized woman is the hostess.” C. "The man in the middle is the one who has the final say.” D. "The woman is the kind and trustworthy one in the family.” 6. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that_______. A. Misty was quite clever B. Misty could solve math problems C. the writer was a slow learner D. no one walked Misty the first day 7. The story came to its turning point when________. A. Joe died in 2009 B.

What is the message the writer wants to convey in the passage? A. One should learn to enjoy hard times. B. A disaster can change everything in life. C. Moments of joy suggest that there is still hope ahead. D. People will change their attitude toward you when you are in difficulty. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B 8. C 9. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文，讲述作者从遛狗的体验中悟出生活的哲理——尽管有时生活艰难、前途难测，但人生总有希望和快乐。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句话"While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots，to schedule her vet appointments，to feed and clean her"可知，作者慢慢地意识到她要代替父女俩给狗狗打针，安排见宠物医生等。这意味着最终将由她来照顾这一只狗。所以为什么作者在故事开始时不同意养狗是因为照顾这条狗是她的事。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据这3个单词的意思不难知道small指的是作者的女儿, medium指的是作者，一个woman； and large指的是作者的丈夫。根据后文他们有了心灵相通。所以这个女人是家里最善良最值得信赖的人。故判断出划线词的意思是“这个女人是家里最善良最值得信赖的人”。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Misty knew this on day one它在第一天就知道“和 she calculated它在计算。由此判断出Misty很聪明。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段第一句话“Then one day — January 1, 2007 , to be exact — my husband ‘ s doctor uttered an unthinkable word : leukemia ( 白血病) . 然后，2007年1月1日，确切地说是丈夫的医生宣布了丈夫得了白血病， 说明这一天是一个转折点。故选B。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第八段第二行“quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day’s medical drama unfolded安静，安静的时间我才能思考 ，所有的这一切都是精神上的一些安慰。为什么作者在乔住院期间继续遛Misty是因为散步给了她精神上的安慰。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句话no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future , there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.不管现在是多么困难或者将来是多么的难以预计，总是有一些提取快乐的方法。故判断出作者想在文章中传达欢乐的时刻表明前方仍有希望。故选C。 C For anyone connected with a school, the last couple of weeks should have been a pile-up of plays, choir performances, and talent shows. But a report found, alarmingly, that 53% of primaries and 63% of secondaries that normally hold a festive concert at the end of the first term did not do so. It is deeply troubling that music is no longer being taught to 11-to-14-year-olds in more than half of state secondaries. And some children get as little as one day of music lesson a year. If this situation is allowed to continue, music-making will become the preserve of those who can afford it. And the intense competition for better academic performance has only sped up this trend. A survey published this month of more than 1, 300 music teachers found that a third of British primary schools are not singing, while a quarter have ceased instrumental lessons. Almost three-quarters of primary and two-thirds of secondary schools have cancelled extracurricular music. Though a sharp decline of music provision is due to various social factors, Ofsted appeared to put this down to schools themselves, rather than pointing the finger at the government’s silence to educators’ appeal. This is very sad and shortsighted. On the most basic level, music aids academic achievement. Research suggests that music-making improves speech and literacy. But academic progress is too narrow a standard of success. In her book, Joan Koenig argues that music is fundamental to a well-functioning society. Besides that, music-making nurtures sympathy and belonging. “People stand a much better chance of finding meaning and happiness in their lives if they feel that they belong,” as Koenig puts it. “Studies show that group musical practice can create and enhance this feeling. It is when people don’t have a sense of belonging that things go wrong.” In this time of uncertainty and fear, ensuring that all children can access music-making is a cause deserving meaningful support and attention from ministers. 10. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Educators are appealing for investment. B. Schools merely value academic achievements. C. Music lessons are nearly absent from classrooms. D. Parents cannot afford students’ music lessons. 11. According to Ofsted, who is to blame for the affected music provision? A. The schools. B. The educators. C. The government. D. The researchers. 12. What does the underlined word “nurtures” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Promotes. B. Deserves. C. Symbolizes. D. Worsens. 13. What does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph? A. Music education is optional. B. Music education calls for backup. C. Music-making is tough. D. Music-making makes sense. 【答案】10. C 11. A 12. A 13. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今学校音乐课逐渐消失的现象，说明了音乐的好处。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“It is deeply troubling that music is no longer being taught to 11-to-14-year-olds in more than half of state secondaries. And some children get as little as one day of music lesson a year. If this situation is allowed to continue, music-making will become the preserve of those who can afford it. And the intense competition for better academic performance has only sped up this trend. A survey published this month of more than 1, 300 music teachers found that a third of British primary schools are not singing, while a quarter have ceased instrumental lessons. Almost three-quarters of primary and two-thirds of secondary schools have cancelled extracurricular music. Though a sharp decline of music provision is due to various social factors, Ofsted appeared to put this down to schools themselves, rather than pointing the finger at the government’s silence to educators’ appeal.(令人深感不安的是，超过一半的公立中学不再教授11到14岁的学生音乐。有些孩子一年只上一天音乐课。如果这种情况继续下去，音乐创作将成为那些负担得起的人的专利。为了更好的学习成绩而进行的激烈竞争只会加速这一趋势。本月公布的一项对1300多名音乐教师的调查发现，英国三分之一的小学不唱歌，四分之一的小学停止了乐器课。近四分之三的小学和三分之二的中学已经取消了课外音乐活动。尽管音乐教学数量的急剧下降是由各种社会因素造成的，但Ofsted似乎把这归咎于学校本身，而不是指责政府对教育工作者的呼吁无动于衷)”可知，第二段主要讲的是教室里几乎没有音乐课。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Though a sharp decline of music provision is due to various social factors, Ofsted appeared to put this down to schools themselves, rather than pointing the finger at the government’s silence to educators’ appeal. (尽管音乐教学数量的急剧下降是由各种社会因素造成的，但Ofsted似乎把这归咎于学校本身，而不是指责政府对教育工作者的呼吁无动于衷)”可知，学校应该为受影响的音乐供应负责。故选A。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“sympathy and belonging. “People stand a much better chance of finding meaning and happiness in their lives if they feel that they belong,” as Koenig puts it.”可知，正如柯尼格所说，如果人们觉得自己有归属感，他们就更有可能找到生活的意义和幸福。可见音乐创作还能培养同情心和归属感。故画线词意思是“培养”。A. Promotes.培养；B. Deserves.值得；C. Symbolizes.象征；D. Worsens.恶化。故选A。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In this time of uncertainty and fear, ensuring that all children can access music-making is a cause deserving meaningful support and attention from ministers.(在这个充满不确定性和恐惧的时代，确保所有儿童都能接触到音乐创作是一项值得牧师们给予有意义的支持和关注的事业)”可知，作者在最后一段主要表达了音乐教育需要支援。故选B。 第二节：（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 According to a 2024 attention study by King’s College London, 49% of the UK public are experiencing “popcorn (爆米花) brain”, a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts. ____14____ In response to the findings, psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips.

Every time you feel your thoughts wandering, give yourself three seconds — breathe in, name what you’re feeling, and redirect your focus. ____16____ By doing so, you may turn down the heat when your brain is working overtime. Minimizing tech is also the key to getting back on track in your daily life. A full digital withdrawal is unrealistic. ____17____ Then it could be followed by a five-minute screen time reward. It teaches your brain to tolerate stillness without feeling punished. ____18____ At first, you may feel bored, as popcorn brain likes being ‘go go go’ to feel safe. “Go for a walk without music, or simply stare out your window,” suggests Tina. “Sit in silence and observe your thoughts. Let your brain breathe. It is sometimes exactly what your nervous system needs.” So, are you ready to quiet the mental popcorn and get your focus back? A. Allow space in your day for doing nothing. B. So, what’s making our brains pop like popcorn? C. Instead, go totally screen-free for 25-30 minutes. D. Starving distractions and feeding focus is a nice idea. E. Then ask yourself: what matters now and what can wait? F. They feel their attention less focused and deep thinking rarer. G. This practice enables you to slow down and manage emotions. 【答案】14. F 15. E 16. G 17. C 18. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以伦敦国王学院2024年的一项注意力研究为切入点，指出英国49%的公众正受“爆米花大脑”（注意力分散、思绪飘忽的精神状态）困扰，随后心理学家蒂娜·丘蒙针对该问题提出了思维导图法、思绪回归训练、减少科技使用、留白独处等四条实用解决建议。 【14题详解】 上文“According to a 2024 attention study by King’s College London, 49% of the UK public are experiencing ‘popcorn (爆米花) brain’, a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts. (根据伦敦国王学院2024年的一项注意力研究，49%的英国公众正经历“爆米花大脑”，这种精神状态的特点是注意力分散、思绪飘忽。)”定义了“爆米花大脑”并说明其高发率，下文“In response to the findings, psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips. (针对这些发现，心理学家蒂娜·丘蒙给出了她的顶级建议。)”引出解决建议。F项“他们感觉自己的注意力不太集中，深度思考也更少见了。”承接上文，“they”指代前文“49% of the UK public”，“注意力不太集中”“深度思考少见”是对“注意力分散、思绪飘忽”的进一步阐释，让读者更清晰理解“爆米花大脑”的表现，衔接自然。故选F。 【15题详解】 上文“Adopt the mind map method. To manage a distracted (分心的) mind, write down everything, like appointments, worries and to-dos, without organizing it initially. Once everything is on paper, group these into life areas like work or emotional wellbeing. (采用思维导图法。为了管理分心的大脑，先把所有事情都写下来，比如约会、担忧和待办事项，一开始不用整理。一旦所有事情都写在纸上，就把它们归类到工作、情感健康等生活领域。)”详细介绍了思维导图法的前两个步骤——记录和归类，下文“This creates order and gives your brain permission to concentrate. (这能建立秩序，让你的大脑可以集中注意力。)”说明该方法的效果。E项“然后问问自己：现在什么重要，什么可以等一等？”作为思维导图法的第三步，承接前文的“记录和归类”流程，通过设问筛选优先级，进而实现下文“建立秩序、集中注意力”的效果，逻辑连贯。故选E。 【16题详解】 上文“Every time you feel your thoughts wandering, give yourself three seconds — breathe in, name what you’re feeling, and redirect your focus. (每次你感觉思绪飘忽时，给自己三秒钟——吸气，说出你的感受，然后重新集中注意力。)”介绍了思绪回归训练的具体操作，下文“By doing so, you may turn down the heat when your brain is working overtime.” (通过这样做，当你的大脑过度运转时，你可能会降温。)”说明该训练的作用。G项“这种练习能让你慢下来，管理情绪。”解释了该训练的直接效果，“this practice”指代上文的三秒训练法，“慢下来”对应“吸气”的动作，“管理情绪”对应“说出你的感受”，且为下文“大脑降温”的深层效果做铺垫。故选G。 【17题详解】 上文“Minimizing tech is also the key to getting back on track in your daily life. A full digital withdrawal is unrealistic. (减少科技产品使用也是日常生活中回归正轨的关键。完全脱离数字产品是不现实的。)”提出减少科技使用的建议并指出完全脱离不现实，下文“Then it could be followed by a five-minute screen time reward. (然后可以给五分钟的屏幕使用时间作为奖励。)”说明后续的奖励机制。C项“相反，完全不使用屏幕25到30分钟。”通过“instead”承接上文“完全脱离不现实”，给出切实可行的替代方案——短时间不使用屏幕，“25到30分钟”与下文“五分钟奖励”形成时长搭配，构成“限制并奖励”的有效模式，逻辑清晰。故选C。 【18题详解】 下文“At first, you may feel bored, as popcorn brain likes being ‘go go go’ to feel safe. “Go for a walk without music, or simply stare out your window,” suggests Tina. “Sit in silence and observe your thoughts. Let your brain breathe. (一开始，你可能会感到无聊，因为“爆米花大脑”喜欢一直“忙忙碌碌”才觉得安全。蒂娜建议：“不带音乐散步，或者只是盯着窗外。”“安静地坐着，观察自己的思绪。让你的大脑呼吸。”)”具体描述了“什么都不做”的放松方式及其意义。A项“在一天中留出时间什么都不做。”作为该段主题句，精准概括下文内容，“留出时间什么都不做”与下文“不带音乐散步”“安静坐着”等具体做法相呼应，符合段落主旨。故选A。 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。 There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time.

I kept my eyes straight ahead running as fast as I could. “Run, run, run,” I chanted to myself in my mind as I passed my friend Justin. I saw Justin’s red face out of the corner of my eye and wondered if my own face was that red too? “Run, run, run.” I was on fire, passing Sarah, leaving her in my dust. The coach was waiting for me at the finish line.holding the medal,for the fastest runner in kindergarten. I would wear that blue and white ribbon around my neck when we go out for ice cream to celebrate and then hang it in my room. Last night I took the collection of caps off the hook on my wall leaving it ready for my shiny new medal .I couldn’t wait to see it every day when I woke up. Dad was there in the crowd also and would pick me up and put me on his shoulders to carry around. “My son!” He would tell the other fathers, “My son won the race!” I was going to win! Faster than Sarah, I came up behind Mikey, giving my legs that extra burst of energy to pass him by. The winner, Sammy! All that running in the park was worth it! Just as I heard the roar of the crowd welcoming me to the finish line,I saw a blur out of the corner of my eye.What?There was Justin with his tomato cheeks running as fast as humanly possible,huffing and puffing like he was going to blow the house down.And then he was ir front of me.I was behind tomato face Justin.Crossing the finish line,I heard the voice over the loudspeaker boom,“Congratulations to the winner,Justin!"

My chest tightened, and tears blurred my vision. Mom rushed over, wrapping her arms around me. “You did an amazing job, Sammy!” she whispered. Justin glanced at me, his tomato cheeks now softened into a shy smile. “You were so fast,” he said, offering a high-five. Hesitating, I slapped his hand weakly. The coach approached, placing a hand on my shoulder. “Second place is still a victory,” he said. I stared at the empty hook on my wall, imagining the medal that wouldn’t hang there. Dad stood silently nearby, his eyes filled with pride mixed with concern. Suddenly, strong hands lifted me onto Dad’s shoulders. “Look around, champ,” he said. The crowd was cheering wildly — not just for Justin, but for every runner. “Winning isn’t about medals,” Dad continued. “It’s about pushing your limits.” From that height, I saw Sarah hugging her mom and Mikey laughing with friends. Justin waved at me, his medal glinting. I took a deep breath and clapped along with the crowd. Later, as we ate ice cream, Mom said, “Next year, that hook will be ready again.” I nodded, realizing the race had taught me something brighter than a ribbon. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者参加赛跑比赛，结果朋友贾斯汀却获胜了，作者十分难过。好在朋友获奖后安慰了作者，父亲也开导了作者，让作者明白了比赛的意义在于挑战自我。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“贾斯汀被授予奖章时，我站在那里惊呆了”可知，第一段可描写作者和贾斯汀的对话以及朋友安慰作者。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，一双有力的手把我扶到了爸爸的肩膀上”可知，第二段可描写父亲开导作者以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：朋友获奖——感到难过——朋友安慰——父亲开导——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①靠近：approach/get close to ②放置：place/put ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①担心：concern/worry ②害羞：shy/ bashful 【点睛】[高分句型1] The coach approached, placing a hand on my shoulder.

I bought an inexpensive microwavable moist-heat eye compress online and use it for several minutes at bedtime to help open the oil glands. Plus, the warmth helps me relax and fall asleep. No more messy washcloth compresses for me! — Julie Evans Minneapolis, Minnesota Letter 2 The Quality Inn in Kodak, Tennessee, turning into a shelter during a historic winter storm showed so much kindness that I read the story twice. For Sean Patel, to open his hotel to the locals in need during the storm at holiday time at just $25 (the lowest price the corporate regulations would allow) was priceless. The town is a better place because of Patel and his staff. — Annette Wolfe Shelton, Connecticut Letter 3 You suggested using toothpicks to raise a pot lid and prevent the liquid in the pot from boiling over. I prevent that by just laying a wooden spoon over the open pot. The spoon will pop most of the bubbles on contact, but it hasn’t failed me yet! — Pam Snellgrove LaGrange, Georgia Letter 4 The story about a diver, Carter Viss, who lost his arm after getting hit by a speedboat — and then forgave the driver — is among the most compelling stories I’ve ever read.

B In 2004 ,when my daughter Becky was ten , she and my husband ,Joe, were united in their desire for a dog . As for me , I shared none of their canine lust. But why , they pleaded. “Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it. ” Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” Yes, yes , and yes .”I don’t believe you .” We will . We promise. They didn’t . From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day ) , neither thought to walk the dog . While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots , to schedule her vet appointments , to feed and clean her , Misty knew this on day one . As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large) , she calculated , The medium one is the sucker in the pack. Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合) . She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers , beam her need , and then wait , trusting I would understand — which , strangely , I almost always did . In no time , she became my feet as I read , and splaying across my stomach as I watched television . Even so , part of me continued to resent walking duty . Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair , I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked . “Not fair , ” I’ d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home . Then one day — January 1, 2007 , to be exact — my husband ‘ s doctor uttered an unthinkable word : leukemia ( 白血病) .With that , I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital , doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at the time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained. Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with. As the months went by，I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise. When serious illness visits your household, it's , not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you acts differently. Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joe's blood counts or ’one marrow test results. On the street or in the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels!

C For anyone connected with a school, the last couple of weeks should have been a pile-up of plays, choir performances, and talent shows. But a report found, alarmingly, that 53% of primaries and 63% of secondaries that normally hold a festive concert at the end of the first term did not do so. It is deeply troubling that music is no longer being taught to 11-to-14-year-olds in more than half of state secondaries. And some children get as little as one day of music lesson a year. If this situation is allowed to continue, music-making will become the preserve of those who can afford it. And the intense competition for better academic performance has only sped up this trend. A survey published this month of more than 1, 300 music teachers found that a third of British primary schools are not singing, while a quarter have ceased instrumental lessons. Almost three-quarters of primary and two-thirds of secondary schools have cancelled extracurricular music. Though a sharp decline of music provision is due to various social factors, Ofsted appeared to put this down to schools themselves, rather than pointing the finger at the government’s silence to educators’ appeal. This is very sad and shortsighted. On the most basic level, music aids academic achievement. Research suggests that music-making improves speech and literacy. But academic progress is too narrow a standard of success. In her book, Joan Koenig argues that music is fundamental to a well-functioning society. Besides that, music-making nurtures sympathy and belonging. “People stand a much better chance of finding meaning and happiness in their lives if they feel that they belong,” as Koenig puts it. “Studies show that group musical practice can create and enhance this feeling. It is when people don’t have a sense of belonging that things go wrong.” In this time of uncertainty and fear, ensuring that all children can access music-making is a cause deserving meaningful support and attention from ministers. 10. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Educators are appealing for investment. B. Schools merely value academic achievements. C. Music lessons are nearly absent from classrooms. D. Parents cannot afford students’ music lessons. 11. According to Ofsted, who is to blame for the affected music provision? A. The schools. B. The educators. C. The government. D. The researchers. 12. What does the underlined word “nurtures” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Promotes. B. Deserves. C. Symbolizes. D. Worsens. 13. What does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph? A. Music education is optional. B. Music education calls for backup. C. Music-making is tough. D. Music-making makes sense. 第二节：（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 According to a 2024 attention study by King’s College London, 49% of the UK public are experiencing “popcorn (爆米花) brain”, a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts. ____14____ In response to the findings, psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips.
