Middle school was especially difficult. I had back pain and kept 35 the American College Test, or ACT. It felt like suffering after suffering. I kept thinking, “What’s the 36 ?” But something deep inside me said “Keep going.” So I did. After three tries, I 37 passed. Still, the self-doubt remained. To manage, I started writing. At first, it was just an expression of the thoughts in my head. I poured everything onto the page: anger, confusion, hope... Every word helped weaken my self-doubt a bit. As I wrote, something changed. I started sharing my story of trying to 38 myself. The more I shared, the more I realized my story could encourage someone else. That was a turning point. I put my stories into a book and had it published. I never expected my words to reach 39 the pages of my notebook, but they did. Since then, I have spoken on stages, and connected with people who once misunderstood themselves, like I did. What 40 is knowing that someone, somewhere, might hear my stories and think, “I’m not 41 . I’m not the only one who has self-doubt.” For those reading this, if you feel 42 about achieving your dreams, please know: Everything will be OK and your future will be bright. Even when it feels like you are not making any 43 , it might just be one small challenge on your way to something greater. Be patient. Success doesn’t happen suddenly. It takes time. Nothing will change 44 you take the first step. Now pick up your pen and pour your thoughts and feelings out onto the page. 35. A. failing B. missing C. refusing D. questioning 36. A. reason B. result C. pleasure D. point 37. A. suddenly B. finally C. quickly D. slowly 38. A. look after B. show off C. push for D. believe in 39. A. through B. beyond C. over D. during 40. A. lasts B. works C. matters D. minds 41. A. alone B. mad C. poor D. terrible 42. A. curious B. nervous C. excited D. crazy 43. A. sense B. effort C. progress D. difference 44. A. after B. when C. if D. unless 四、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。（本大题共13小题，每小题2分，共26分） A 45. Sudoku is most probably ______. A. an ad B. a game C. a poster D. a comic strip 46.

C Mama pulled the car into a small alley (小巷). When she shut the engine off, everything got in quiet. I hung a beach towel over the clothesline that Mama had strung along the middle of the car to make me a bedroom. I could picture my classmate Luanne, lying in her pink-and-white quilt with her toy animals lined up along the wall beside her, and I surely felt sorry for myself. Then I curled up on the seat, turning every which way trying to get myself comfortable. Finally, I settled on my back with my feet right against the car door and looked out at the starry sky. And then I saw it. A sign, up there on a telephone pole right outside the car window. An old sign that said: REWARD. $500. And under that was a picture of a bug-eyed little dog with its tongue hanging out. And then under that it said: HAVE YOU SEEN ME? MY NAME IS MITSY. Five hundred dollars! Who in the world would pay five hundred dollars for that little dog? “Mama?” I whispered through my beach towel wall. Mama rustled (沙沙作响) some in the front seat. “Would five hundred dollars be enough money to get us a place to live?” I asked. Mama sighed. “I suppose so, Georgina. Now go to sleep. You got school tomorrow.” I looked up at Mitsy and my mind started racing. What if I could find that dog? I could get that money, and we could have a real place to live instead of this dirty old car. But that dog could be anywhere. I wouldn’t even know where to look for it. Besides, that sign was old. Somebody had probably already found Mitsy and got that five hundred dollars. I stared out the window at the sign, thinking about Mitsy and wondering if there were other people out there who would pay money for their lost dogs. And that’s when I got a thought that made me sit up so fast that Toby mumbled in his sleep and Mama hissed, “Shhhh — .” I folded my legs up and lay back down in my beach towel bedroom. The car seat smelled like oily French fries and bug spray. I closed my eyes and smiled to myself. I had a plan… 51. Why did the writer mention Luanne in Paragraph 2? A. To introduce a new character.

Hopeful and excited. B. Curious and surprised. C. Nervous and worried. D. Doubtful and uncertain. 53. What is the best title for this story? A. The Night in the Car B. The Lost Dog C. The Search for Mitsy D. The Birth of a Plan D How much sleep do we really need each night? While many would quickly say “eight hours”, science now tells us this isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. In fact, the amount of sleep a person requires to feel well-rested and function effectively differs a lot. This difference isn’t about personal choice or habit; it largely depends on our genes (基因). Some people are born with a genetic feature that makes them “natural short sleepers” or “top sleepers”. They need only four to six hours of sleep per night, yet they wake up feeling fresh and can perform at their best. This ability is a great advantage in today’s busy world. For over 25 years, Dr. Ptacek and his research team have studied sleep patterns (模式) in more than 100 families. At first, they focused on “morning larks” — people who naturally go to bed and wake up very early. However, they noticed something surprising: some of these early risers did not always go to bed early. Sometimes they stayed up late. This led to an important discovery: certain families showed characteristics of both morning larks and night owls (夜猫子). Researchers began to believe these people might have a special feature called “natural short sleep”, allowing them to be active with very little rest. So far, scientists have found four genes connected to this feature, though there are probably more. These genes are rare; studies show that only about one in a thousand people is a true top sleeper. However, studying them offers hope for everyone. It may help unlock the secrets of “sleep efficiency (效率)”. Interestingly, natural short sleepers often report better health and show greater mental strength in surveys compared to those who need more sleep. Their ability to do well on less sleep suggests their sleep is of higher quality. This brings us to a key question: what is “sleep efficiency”? Recent studies are providing clues. In one experiment, when natural short sleep genes were put into mice with Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症), the mice became more resilient. Even though they had the disease, they did not get sicker. Instead, they stayed active and showed no signs of illness. This finding suggests that understanding this biology could help treat not only brain diseases but also other serious conditions like diabetes, obesity, and even some cancers. Dr. Ptacek describes the research as a large, unfinished puzzle. Each family that helps discover a related gene adds another piece. We are still searching for more pieces to complete the picture. Sleep fills about one-third of our lives, yet much about it remains a mystery. We know it is important for helping our body and mind refresh. If we can learn how sleep efficiency works, it could lead to major improvements in health for all people. 54. What did Dr. Ptacek’s team discover about some “morning larks”? A. They don’t always go to bed early. B. They often stay up late. C. They sleep longer than most people. D. They never wake up early. 55. What does the underlined word “resilient” mean in Paragraph 5? A. Able to live longer. B. Able to sleep less. C. Able to fight off illness. D. Able to wake up earlier. 56. The following sentence can best be put at the end of ______. That is why researching sleep efficiency is one of the most important areas of modern medical science. A. Paragraph 4 B. Paragraph 5 C. Paragraph 6 D. Paragraph 7 57. The main purpose of this passage is to ______. A. encourage less sleep B. introduce Dr. Ptacek’s research findings C. challenge the eight-hour sleep idea D. explain natural short sleep’s science and value 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共50分） 五、词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） (A) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 58.

Now, it has grown into a huge international event watched by millions of people. The Oscars have truly witnessed the great development of the film industry, from silent films to modern high-tech movies. This great event has also witnessed the rise of Chinese filmmakers. In 2001, the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon won four Oscars, which made Chinese films earn international fame. Ang Lee won the Oscar for Best Director in 2006 and 2013, becoming one of the most respected and influential directors in the world. In 2016, Jackie Chan received an Honorary Oscar (终身成就奖) for his great contributions to action films. Besides them, many other Chinese films and artists have also received Oscar nominations, such as Zhang Yimou’s Hero in 2003.

Through their films, they share wonderful Chinese stories with the world and serve as cultural bridges between the East and the West. The Oscars are more than awards.
