For former Chinese women’s soccer player Zhao Lina, her story began not under stadium lights but in the dusty schoolyard of Jinshajiang Road Primary School in Shanghai’s Putuo district.
Now 33, she still remembers joining the school soccer team in first grade — the tallest among all her teammates. The coach lined everyone up by height, and Zhao stood at the end of the line. Impressed by her height, the coach decided she should be a goalkeeper. But she never imagined one day she would step onto the international stage.
In the beginning, her only fan was her father. A decade later, she stood on the world stage at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, wearing the red jersey of China. She then felt the pure joy of playing, with the thunderous cheers from the packed stadium forever unforgettable.
One of her most unforgettable matches came in 2022, when China made a stunning 3-2 comeback against South Korea to reclaim the AFC Women’s Asian Cup after 16 years. It was the perfect high point and a year later, Zhao announced her retirement, closing an 18-year career.
After retiring from Team China in 2023, former goalkeeper Zhao Lina never truly walked away from the soccer pitch. Instead, she found a new mission — bringing soccer to children in China’s rural areas. Through her soccer charity program, Zhao plans to visit 100 remote schools, build pitches, donate equipment, organize leagues and train local physical education teachers to coach. In the 10 months since her retirement, she has already helped build four soccer fields and deliver equipment to 40 schools.
Alongside her charity work, Zhao has also stepped into journalism. She served as a reporter for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
“Life isn’t a straight line,” she reflects. “Even athletes have peaks and declines. But when the next rise comes — if you’ve prepared enough and give your all — you’ll surpass your last peak. That’s what life and soccer have taught me.”
4. How was Zhao Lina first chosen to be a goalkeeper?
A. She was recognized for her natural talent.
B. She was encouraged by her father.
C. She was drawn to the position herself.
D. She was selected because of her height.
5. What do the underlined words “stepped into” mean in paragraph 6?
A. Wandered. B. Joined.
C. Approached. D. Sampled.
6. How is the passage mainly organized?
A. By comparing her early and later life.
B. By listing challenges from her career.
C. By following the order of time in her life.
D. By discussing her charity then sports work.
7. Which saying best describes Zhao Lina’s story?
A. Every ending leads to a new beginning.
B. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
C. Time and tide wait for no man.
D. Success is built upon repeated small efforts.
C
Increasing evidence suggests that sitting down too much can put our health at risk. According to the NHS, being inactive is linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, some forms of cancer, and early death. Therefore, the NHS advises people to “move more, sit less”. But how often and for how long should we get up and move?
Now, researchers based at Columbia University, New York, have an answer: taking a five-minute walking break every half an hour can offset some of the harmful effects of sitting for long periods. The team had a group of 11 participants sit in ergonomic chairs for an eight-hour stretch, getting up only for bathroom breaks or their scheduled walk on a treadmill. The exercise periods tested were one minute of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting, one minute every 60 minutes, five minutes every 30 minutes, five minutes every 60 minutes, and no walking at all.
While sitting, the participants could use their phones or laptops, or read, and were given regular meals. Their blood pressure and blood sugar were checked regularly throughout the study.
The researchers found that any amount of walking reduced blood pressure by 4-5mmHg compared to sitting all day — a significant reduction, as ideal blood pressure is usually considered to be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg.
Additionally, walking for five minutes every 30 minutes reduced blood sugar spikes (猛增) after meals by more than 50 percent. Walking for one minute every 30 minutes also led to a small reduction in blood sugar spikes. Walking every 60 minutes, whether for one minute or five, had no effect.
“What we know now is that for optimal health, you need to move regularly at work, in addition to a daily exercise routine,” said Diaz. “While that may sound impractical, our findings show that even small amounts of walking spread through the workday can significantly lower your risk of heart disease and other chronic illnesses.”
8. Why is the NHS mentioned in the text?
A To suggest disease prevention methods.
B. To stress the seriousness of inactivity.
C. To compare international health data.
D. To explain its own research findings.
9. What were the participants required to do during the study?
A. Stand up according to a fixed schedule.
B. Take breaks freely when needed.
C. Keep moving slowly while sitting.
D. Avoid using phones or computers.
10. Which walking pattern best controlled blood sugar after meals?
A. Walking for one minute every 60 minutes.
B. Walking for five minutes every 60 minutes.
C. Walking for one minute every 30 minutes.
D. Walking for five minutes every 30 minutes.
11. What does Diaz’s statement imply?
A. Long workouts prevent chronic diseases.
B. Daily exercise forms the basis of good health.
C. Movement during work is vital for health.
D. Prolonged sitting is unavoidably harmful.
D
With all due respect to Disney, scoring (配乐) animated features is no simple task.
Composers say the genre often gives them a chance to do their best work. And while some approach an animated feature just as they would a live-action film, there are practical and thematic differences that make the experience distinctive.
Regardless of the format, the role of the score is the same: to serve the movie. “Scoring animated films, I have the exact same approach and philosophy as I do for a live-action film. It’s all story- and character-driven. I don’t care if it’s a rat or Tom Cruise,” says Michael Giacchino, who’s scored both 2006’s Mission: Impossible III and Disney/Pixar’s Ratatouille. “It’s all the same.”
Although it can be challenging to express human emotions in cartoons, Hans Zimmer notes, “I think it’s a little trickier to move people in an animated movie.” He scored Fox’s The Simpsons Movie as well as 1994’s The Lion King and 1998’s The Prince of Egypt. “So we composers perhaps have to work a little harder because the goal is the same: You come away with an emotional experience.”
Then again, as Christopher Lennertz, composer for Fox’s live-action and animated feature Alvin and the Chipmunks says, “When you work on a film with talking chipmunks, it gives you the freedom to go beyond reality.”
The expectations of today’s audiences don’t allow for the lilting (轻快), tweeting birds of 1950s Cinderella or even the purely magical world that Alan Menken (composer of Disney’s Enchanted) and Howard Ashman created in 1989’s The Little Mermaid. Menken recalls, “It was very clear that Howard and I were trying to honor that tradition.”
Therefore, composers today must continue to navigate this delicate balance, crafting scores that honor beloved traditions while developing a fresh musical voice — ensuring each note not only serves the story but also speaks directly to the heart of a contemporary audience.
12. What is special about scoring for animated films?
A. It exists in diverse forms.
B. It is unlike live-action films.
C. It has an array of distinct roles.
D. It is different in production and theme.
13. What does Hans Zimmer say about scoring animated films?
A. It allows more creative freedom.
B. It requires extra effort to touch people.
C. It focuses on serving the story.
D. It faces higher audience expectations.
14. Why are Cinderella and The Little Mermaid mentioned?
A. To show changing audience tastes.
B. To compare their storytelling methods.
C. To praise their timeless music.
D. To list successful partnerships.
15. Which would be the best title for the text?
A. Revealing the Hidden Heroes of Animation
B. Questioning the Difficulty of Animation Scoring
C. Exploring Music Evolution in Animated Film Scores
D. Harmonizing Tradition and Innovation in Animated Film Scores

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之成为一篇完整的短文。
I started gardening when I was twelve. The reason I began may not have come from a love for nature. It was to annoy my parents. Back then, I was at that age when I liked to oppose everything, and going against my parents felt like a game. If they disliked something, that alone made me want to do it.
At that time, we had a big yard with a beautiful maple tree. But my mother often looked at this natural beauty with doubt. Those golden leaves seemed like a heap of rubbish to her, “Something else to clean up!” Seeing the neighbors busy gardening, my father also thought it was a waste of time. To him, useful work meant tasks that had a clear outcome, not getting one’s hands dirty and waiting for flowers that might not even grow. Our yard, in their eyes, was fine just as it was — tidy and easy to care for.
At that age, I often did the opposite of whatever my parents preferred! If gardening was something they didn’t like, then I was determined to start a garden! I secretly bought a packet of seeds with my pocket money, feeling a rush of secret excitement. This would be my silent act of opposition, my own small zone of rebellion (叛逆) right where they could see it.
I planted some lily seeds in the yard, but they didn’t sprout. Then I tried sunflower seeds and roses. To my surprise, I later saw the first rose begin to bloom. One by one, the flowers opened up beautifully. The sunflowers grew tall, turning their bright faces to follow the sun. I found myself watering them carefully and looking for new buds every day. Gradually, I was deeply moved by the beauty of the garden.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。
However, my parents showed no interest in my garden.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Today, I am known as “Mrs. Greenthumbs,” and my parents couldn’t be prouder.

For former Chinese women’s soccer player Zhao Lina, her story began not under stadium lights but in the dusty schoolyard of Jinshajiang Road Primary School in Shanghai’s Putuo district.
Now 33, she still remembers joining the school soccer team in first grade — the tallest among all her teammates. The coach lined everyone up by height, and Zhao stood at the end of the line. Impressed by her height, the coach decided she should be a goalkeeper. But she never imagined one day she would step onto the international stage.
In the beginning, her only fan was her father. A decade later, she stood on the world stage at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, wearing the red jersey of China. She then felt the pure joy of playing, with the thunderous cheers from the packed stadium forever unforgettable.
One of her most unforgettable matches came in 2022, when China made a stunning 3-2 comeback against South Korea to reclaim the AFC Women’s Asian Cup after 16 years. It was the perfect high point and a year later, Zhao announced her retirement, closing an 18-year career.
After retiring from Team China in 2023, former goalkeeper Zhao Lina never truly walked away from the soccer pitch. Instead, she found a new mission — bringing soccer to children in China’s rural areas. Through her soccer charity program, Zhao plans to visit 100 remote schools, build pitches, donate equipment, organize leagues and train local physical education teachers to coach. In the 10 months since her retirement, she has already helped build four soccer fields and deliver equipment to 40 schools.
Alongside her charity work, Zhao has also stepped into journalism. She served as a reporter for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
“Life isn’t a straight line,” she reflects. “Even athletes have peaks and declines. But when the next rise comes — if you’ve prepared enough and give your all — you’ll surpass your last peak. That’s what life and soccer have taught me.”
4. How was Zhao Lina first chosen to be a goalkeeper?
A. She was recognized for her natural talent.
B. She was encouraged by her father.
C. She was drawn to the position herself.
D. She was selected because of her height.
5. What do the underlined words “stepped into” mean in paragraph 6?
A. Wandered. B. Joined.
C. Approached. D. Sampled.
6. How is the passage mainly organized?
A. By comparing her early and later life.
B. By listing challenges from her career.
C. By following the order of time in her life.
D. By discussing her charity then sports work.
7. Which saying best describes Zhao Lina’s story?
A. Every ending leads to a new beginning.
B. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
C. Time and tide wait for no man.
D. Success is built upon repeated small efforts.

Increasing evidence suggests that sitting down too much can put our health at risk. According to the NHS, being inactive is linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, some forms of cancer, and early death. Therefore, the NHS advises people to “move more, sit less”. But how often and for how long should we get up and move?
Now, researchers based at Columbia University, New York, have an answer: taking a five-minute walking break every half an hour can offset some of the harmful effects of sitting for long periods. The team had a group of 11 participants sit in ergonomic chairs for an eight-hour stretch, getting up only for bathroom breaks or their scheduled walk on a treadmill. The exercise periods tested were one minute of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting, one minute every 60 minutes, five minutes every 30 minutes, five minutes every 60 minutes, and no walking at all.
While sitting, the participants could use their phones or laptops, or read, and were given regular meals. Their blood pressure and blood sugar were checked regularly throughout the study.
The researchers found that any amount of walking reduced blood pressure by 4-5mmHg compared to sitting all day — a significant reduction, as ideal blood pressure is usually considered to be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg.
Additionally, walking for five minutes every 30 minutes reduced blood sugar spikes (猛增) after meals by more than 50 percent. Walking for one minute every 30 minutes also led to a small reduction in blood sugar spikes. Walking every 60 minutes, whether for one minute or five, had no effect.
“What we know now is that for optimal health, you need to move regularly at work, in addition to a daily exercise routine,” said Diaz. “While that may sound impractical, our findings show that even small amounts of walking spread through the workday can significantly lower your risk of heart disease and other chronic illnesses.”
8. Why is the NHS mentioned in the text?
A. To suggest disease prevention methods.
B. To stress the seriousness of inactivity.
C. To compare international health data.
D. To explain its own research findings.
9. What were the participants required to do during the study?
A. Stand up according to a fixed schedule.
B. Take breaks freely when needed.
C. Keep moving slowly while sitting.
D. Avoid using phones or computers.
10. Which walking pattern best controlled blood sugar after meals?
A. Walking for one minute every 60 minutes.
B. Walking for five minutes every 60 minutes.
C. Walking for one minute every 30 minutes.
D. Walking for five minutes every 30 minutes.
11. What does Diaz’s statement imply?
A. Long workouts prevent chronic diseases.
B. Daily exercise forms the basis of good health.
C. Movement during work is vital for health.
D. Prolonged sitting is unavoidably harmful.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C

With all due respect to Disney, scoring (配乐) animated features is no simple task.
Composers say the genre often gives them a chance to do their best work. And while some approach an animated feature just as they would a live-action film, there are practical and thematic differences that make the experience distinctive.
Regardless of the format, the role of the score is the same: to serve the movie. “Scoring animated films, I have the exact same approach and philosophy as I do for a live-action film. It’s all story- and character-driven. I don’t care if it’s a rat or Tom Cruise,” says Michael Giacchino, who’s scored both 2006’s Mission: Impossible III and Disney/Pixar’s Ratatouille. “It’s all the same.”
Although it can be challenging to express human emotions in cartoons, Hans Zimmer notes, “I think it’s a little trickier to move people in an animated movie.” He scored Fox’s The Simpsons Movie as well as 1994’s The Lion King and 1998’s The Prince of Egypt. “So we composers perhaps have to work a little harder because the goal is the same: You come away with an emotional experience.”
Then again, as Christopher Lennertz, composer for Fox’s live-action and animated feature Alvin and the Chipmunks says, “When you work on a film with talking chipmunks, it gives you the freedom to go beyond reality.”
The expectations of today’s audiences don’t allow for the lilting (轻快的), tweeting birds of 1950s Cinderella or even the purely magical world that Alan Menken (composer of Disney’s Enchanted) and Howard Ashman created in 1989’s The Little Mermaid. Menken recalls, “It was very clear that Howard and I were trying to honor that tradition.”
Therefore composers today must continue to navigate this delicate balance, crafting scores that honor beloved traditions while developing a fresh musical voice — ensuring each note not only serves the story but also speaks directly to the heart of a contemporary audience.
12. What is special about scoring for animated films?
A. It exists in diverse forms.
B. It is unlike live-action films.
C. It has an array of distinct roles.
D. It is different in production and theme.
13. What does Hans Zimmer say about scoring animated films?
A. It allows more creative freedom.
B. It requires extra effort to touch people.
C. It focuses on serving the story.
D. It faces higher audience expectations.
14. Why are Cinderella and The Little Mermaid mentioned?
A. To show changing audience tastes.
B. To compare their storytelling methods.
C. To praise their timeless music.
D. To list successful partnerships.
15. Which would be the best title for the text?
A. Revealing the Hidden Heroes of Animation
B. Questioning the Difficulty of Animation Scoring
C. Exploring Music Evolution in Animated Film Scores
D. Harmonizing Tradition and Innovation in Animated Film Scores
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第六段“The expectations of today’s audiences don’t allow for the lilting (轻快的), tweeting birds of 1950s Cinderella or even the purely magical world that Alan Menken (composer of Disney’s Enchanted) and Howard Ashman created in 1989’s The Little Mermaid. Menken recalls, “It was very clear that Howard and I were trying to honor that tradition.”(如今的观众期望已不允许出现20世纪50年代《灰姑娘》中那种轻快鸣叫的小鸟,甚至也不允许出现艾伦·曼肯(Alan Menken,《魔法奇缘》的作曲家)和霍华德·阿什曼(Howard Ashman)在1989年的《小美人鱼》中创造的纯粹魔法世界。曼肯回忆道:“很明显,霍华德和我试图向那个传统致敬。”)”可推知,作者提及这两部过往经典,其核心目的在于通过今昔对比,阐明观众品味与期望已经发生变迁,从而论证当代作曲家面临的新语境。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是倒数第二段“The expectations of today’s audiences don’t allow for the lilting (轻快的), tweeting birds of 1950s Cinderella or even the purely magical world that Alan Menken (composer of Disney’s Enchanted) and Howard Ashman created in 1989’s The Little Mermaid. Menken recalls, “It was very clear that Howard and I were trying to honor that tradition.”(如今的观众期望已不允许出现20世纪50年代《灰姑娘》中那种轻快鸣叫的小鸟,甚至也不允许出现艾伦·曼肯(Alan Menken,《魔法奇缘》的作曲家)和霍华德·阿什曼(Howard Ashman)在1989年的《小美人鱼》中创造的纯粹魔法世界。曼肯回忆道:“很明显,霍华德和我试图向那个传统致敬。”)”和最后一段“Therefore, composers today must continue to navigate this delicate balance, crafting scores that honor beloved traditions while developing a fresh musical voice — ensuring each note not only serves the story but also speaks directly to the heart of a contemporary audience.(因此,如今的作曲家必须继续在这微妙的平衡中摸索前行,既要创作出向深受喜爱的传统致敬的配乐,又要发展出新颖的音乐风格——确保每一个音符不仅服务于故事,还能直接触动当代观众的心灵。)”可知,本文主要讲的是动画电影配乐既有机会让作曲家施展最佳才华,又面临着独特的技术挑战和时代要求,需要在传统与创新之间找到平衡点,因此最好的题目是D选项“Harmonizing Tradition and Innovation in Animated Film Scores(动画电影配乐中传统与创新的融合)”。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国传统二十四节气中的“立春”,包括其作为节气与节日的起源、历史演变以及相关的传统习俗与活动。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:立春是每年的第一个节气,标志着春天的开始。由the和of可知,空格处用名词,作宾语,begin的名词是beginning,意为“开始”,是不可数名词,故填beginning。

【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:据一些专家所述,二十四节气最早出现在书面记载中是在西汉时期(公元前206年至公元24年),当时“立春”被当作春节来庆祝。空格处用形容词作定语,修饰名词records,write的形容词是written,意为“书面的”,故填written。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:据一些专家所述,二十四节气最早出现在书面记载中是在西汉时期(公元前206年至公元24年),当时“立春”被当作春节来庆祝。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句,从句中不缺主语或宾语,先行词Western Han Dynasty (206 BC–AD 24)是时间,因此用关系副词when引导定语从句,故填when。

考查冠词。句意:放风筝是一项传统的民间活动,已有超过2000年的历史。history是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,空格处用不定冠词,history是辅音音素开头,因此不定冠词用a,故填a。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之成为一篇完整的短文。
I started gardening when I was twelve. The reason I began may not have come from a love for nature. It was to annoy my parents. Back then, I was at that age when I liked to oppose everything, and going against my parents felt like a game. If they disliked something, that alone made me want to do it.
At that time, we had a big yard with a beautiful maple tree. But my mother often looked at this natural beauty with doubt. Those golden leaves seemed like a heap of rubbish to her, “Something else to clean up!” Seeing the neighbors busy gardening, my father also thought it was a waste of time. To him, useful work meant tasks that had a clear outcome, not getting one’s hands dirty and waiting for flowers that might not even grow. Our yard, in their eyes, was fine just as it was — tidy and easy to care for.
At that age, I often did the opposite of whatever my parents preferred! If gardening was something they didn’t like, then I was determined to start a garden! I secretly bought a packet of seeds with my pocket money, feeling a rush of secret excitement. This would be my silent act of opposition, my own small zone of rebellion (叛逆) right where they could see it.
I planted some lily seeds in the yard, but they didn’t sprout. Then I tried sunflower seeds and roses. To my surprise, I later saw the first rose begin to bloom. One by one, the flowers opened up beautifully. The sunflowers grew tall, turning their bright faces to follow the sun. I found myself watering them carefully and looking for new buds every day. Gradually, I was deeply moved by the beauty of the garden.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。
However, my parents showed no interest in my garden.

Today, I am known as “Mrs. Greenthumbs,” and my parents couldn’t be prouder.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
However, my parents showed no interest in my garden. My father even complained, finding it troublesome to navigate around my expanding garden to reach the driveway. To make matters worse, I once replaced her decorative items with a vase of my roses — at least in my mother’s eyes. She glanced at it and simply called them “something else to clean up.” Despite their lack of interest, I continued. Each morning, I watched new buds open. That small piece of land, which began as an act of rebellion, slowly became my own private sanctuary. The very golden leaves my mother saw as rubbish, I now saw as nature’s blanket protecting my blooms.
Today, I am known as “Mrs. Greenthumbs,” and my parents couldn’t be prouder. My father, who once thought it a waste of time, now proudly points out my garden to the neighbors. My mother, who used to see only a mess in the fallen leaves, now asks me for advice on keeping cut roses fresh. Looking back, I see that my first garden, started just to oppose my parents, has ironically grown into a bridge between us. Now I understand that what makes me a real gardener is my love for nature — and, through learning to care for it, a deeper love for my family as well.
【解析】
