(15)
M:Oh,I usually work from 8:00 a.m.to 6:00 p.m.It's quite a long day,so I try to set clear boundaries between work and
personal time,I make a daily schedule,listing my working hours,my free time,and even things like exercise or social
activities.(15)
W:That's smart!I've tried to make plans before,but I never stick to them.(16)
M:It's okay not to be perfect at everything.Rest is also important.
W:I know.When I'm at work,I take about 10 minutes every hour to walk around or listen to some music to refresh myself.
When I'm studying,I try to take a longer break every couple of hours--maybe doing some reading or light stretching
exercises in the break room.(17)
Text10(18.为推理题)
I recently moved from Italy to South Korea to teach at an international high school in Seoul.(19)Now,after six months of
living here,I'm finally getting used to almost everything!But here are some of the things I found the most surprismg when I
first arrived here.
Firstly,school is taken very seriously here.Even very young kids attend several schools and after-school activities and
have a lot of homework.This leads to good grades and well-behaved kids but also puts a lot of pressure on young people.
Secondly,the pace of life here is really fast.If you order food at a restaurant,it can usually be on your table in minutes with
good quality.If you need something fixed,or your clothes cleaned,it can usually be done within a few hours,which is
amazing!Thirdly,the personal space rules are different.People stand closer together than I was used to.But they also tend to
be a lot quieter in public here,which is nice!(20)Finally,security cameras are everywhere,and people will happily leave
their computers,phones,and wallets on cafe tables.I still can't get used to that!
A篇是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了国际语言学奥林匹克竞赛(OL)的赛事背景、样题示例、比赛规则及奖项
设置等相关信息。
2l.A细节理解题。根据文章第一段To compete at the IOL,no special knowledge is required,only basic language
concepts,.logic,patience,.and creative thinking.(参加IOL比赛不需要特殊知识,只需要基本的语言概念、逻辑、耐心和

26.A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的句子“On our final morning,.to share what would“stick”with us,.what
“rocked,”and what we would“1eaf”behind.(在我们旅行的最后一个早晨,我们在森林里安静而沉思地走了一段之后,
被要求带回一根“有意义的”木棍、岩石和树叶来分享哪些会“留存”在我们心中,哪些“震撼”了我们,以及我们愿意“放
下”什么)”可知,向导通过这些自然物品引导大家反思旅程中的收获与感悟。故选A项。
27.D词句猜测题。根据最后一段的语境,向导称赞她们的健康和积极态度,并表示希望自己三四十年后也能像
她们一样。这些意外的话语温暖了作者的心,缓解了她对“over the hill'的恐惧。结合前文提到的“we were all in our
seventies”以及“ageing(变老)”这一主题,“over the hill'指的是已过青春巅峰、年老体衰的状态。故选D项。
C篇是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了布宜诺斯艾利斯大学的研究人员成功利用机器人导师,让一种南美小鸟一一
雄性红领带鸥重新学会了一首曾是该物种文化一部分,但已消失半个多世纪的歌曲,以及研究过程、结果和意义。

停顿,这样鸟儿就会把放置在该区域的三个设备播放的声音当作真实的交流,就好像这些设备在互相回应一样。这刺
激了鸟类的发声反应。)”可知,随机停顿的目的是诱使鸟儿进行互动。故选C项。
3l.A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Young chingolos learned and adopted the song,.which showed that their singing
is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics.(年轻的红领带鸥学习并采用了这首歌,尽管它们在最后的额音
中加入了自己种群的“口音”,这表明它们的歌声是由习得行为和先天特征共同塑造的。)”可知,从红领带鸥的学习结

些水滴进入管道时,它们的撞击会产生“塞流”,即水形成由气隙隔开的小柱。)”可知,“塞流指的是水形成由气隙隔
开的小柱,结合选项可知,D项符合“塞流”的特点。故选D项。
34.C主旨大意题。根据最后一段“According to the study's lead author,but a giant leap for sustainable energy
technology..(根据该研究的主要作者的说法,这个模型展示了如何有效地和可持续地利用雨水来发电,特别是在像新
加坡这样的多雨地区。它的潜力是巨大的,因为它即使在城市中也提供了一种替代能源。想象一下,在你的屋顶上有
一个雨水收集装置,每当下雨时都能产生少量的电力一对雨滴来说是一小步,但对可持续能源技术来说是一大步。)”

响;A选项“然而真实的旅行留下更深的印记。”引出对真实旅行的进一步阐述。故选A。

完形是一篇夹叙夹议文,主要讲述了作者买了一个精美的笔记本,结果却因为太过珍惜而没有使用它,反而作者

写作(第一节)
Dear Chris,
【参考范文一】
I'm thrilled about your Taste of China series.After comparing the two themes,I think Street Snacks would be a more
compelling choice.
Street snacks,which are deeply rooted in people's daily lives,are not only affordable but also carry strong local
characteristics,making it easier for viewers to relate.Moreover,filming at street stalls allows you to capture lively scenes of
vendors skillfully preparing food and people chatting happily while enjoying their snacks.This way,you can showcase the
delicious food as well as the vibrant atmosphere of Chinese communities.
I believe such a series will be a great success,which is definitely a good opportunity to help spread Chinese culinary
culture.Looking forward to your amazing videos!
Yours.
Li Hua
Dear Chris,
【参考范文二】
I'm thrilled about your Taste of China series.After comparing the two themes,I think Famous Dishes would be a more
compelling choice.
Rooted deeply in Chinese history and culture,Famous Dishes are not merely culinary works but precious carriers of
profound cultural heritage,each boasting a unique story and making it easier for viewers to grasp the essence of Chinese food
culture.Moreover,filming these dishes enables you to capture chefs'exquisite craftsmanship,which requires strict control
over ingredients and fire,as well as elegant dining scenes like traditional banquets.
I believe such a series will be a great success,which is definitely a good opportunity to help spread Chinese culinary
culture.Looking forward to your amazing videos!
Yours,
Li Huia
写作(第二节)
Li Yue realized that the key solution was getting everyone involved.Without hesitation,she turned to Emma for help,
whose eyes lit up at once.They announced to the whole class that volunteers were needed.To their delight,all the students
raised their hands eagerly,their faces shining with enthusiasm.Greatly relieved,Li Yue wasted no time dividing them into
two groups:one led by her to craft lanterns with riddles attached,and the other led by Emma to prepare the ingredients and
tools for making yuanxiao.With clear roles assigned,everyone immediately set to work.On Tuesday afternoon,everything
was ready.
The party took place as scheduled in the school cafeteria.Red lanterns decorated the space,creating a festive atmosphere.
Guided by Li Yue,the whole grade made yuanxiao together.Soon,bowls of steaming yuanxrao were served,and everyone
enjoyed their handmade delicacies.The highlight was the riddle-guessing activity,which filled the eafeteria with bursts of
laughter and cheers.To deepen everyone's understanding,Li Yue introduced each tradition in detail and even taught the
students to say some Chinese blessings.Bathed in the warm lantern light,the students shared not just food and fun,but a
profound sense of connection,making it an unforgettable night for everyone.

This summer I came face-to-face with three deep-rooted fears: heights, bears, and ageing.
Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway, and since we were all in our seventies, we decided we'd better go while we still could. Our adventure began with a scary drive up a winding mountain road.
On one hike, I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten(腐烂的) logs,suspended high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing encouraging words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across,flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief.
Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game once the tension faded.
Until suddenly, time stood still.
We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered,“There's a bear.” I looked up in disbelief and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us—— the brown mother in front, her cub behind.
Though scared speechless, I couldn't help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting. Iwondered if it would be my last memory. As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome!
On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a“meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would“stick” with us, what“rocked,” and what we would“leaf”behind. The bond of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind.
Our guide ended by expressing her admiration, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude,and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being“over the hill.” Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning anOlympic medal———— even if just for participation.
24. How did the author cross the bridge?
A. By rushing across it bravely. B. By taking mindful steps.
C. By using her sense of direction. D. By having the guide drag her over.
25. Why did the bears leave?
A. They were attracted by the natural setting. B. They were afraid of the noise of the rapids.
C. They were surprised at the group's actions. D. They were threatened by the guide's rocks.
26. Why did the guide ask them for a stick, rock, and leaf?
A. To reflect on the journey. B. To pick up some souvenirs.
C. To symbolize their teamwork. D. To check their observation skills.

Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century.
Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males.“It is a distinctive song—— like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers.“It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird's way of saying,“This is me, and here I am.” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song“dialects” to disappear.
Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild——————— known only from a musical record made in the 1960s—— to a population of chingolos.
Using physics-based modeling of the bird's vocal tract(声道), the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody———a“robotic tutor.” This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses(停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds' vocal responses.
The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population's“accent” to the final trill(颤音), which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics.
“This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again.
28. Why did the researchers teach the birds the song?
A. To save an endangered species. B. To study the birds' brain structure.
C. To develop new robotic devices. D. To preserve the birds' cultural heritage.
29. What is a role of chingolos' song?
A. It keeps hunters away from them. B. It functions as their social identity.
C. It helps them adapt to urban growth. D. It makes them remember their habitat.
30. What is the purpose of the random pauses?
A. To protect the birds' vocal tract. B. To test the birds' reaction speed.
C. To trick the birds into interaction. D. To push the birds to catch the beat.
31. What can we learn from chingolos' learning results?
A. Their singing shows special vocal features. B. The song has spread to other bird species.
C. Their response to the song needs improving. D. The effectiveness depends on their population.

When you rub a balloon on your skin, it produces electricity———a familiar example of charge separation(电荷分离), a process in which opposite charges are separated, creating electric potential. Similarly, raindrops striking a narrow tube create a tiny yet significant burst of energy. Now, researchers from the NationalUniversity of Singapore(NUS) have tapped into this effect to generate electricity using rain-like droplets.
Conventional hydropower(水力发电) relies on large water flows, which only work in places like rivers.For smaller, slower flows, researchers have explored charge separation. They use a tube to let water flow through it continuously. Charges gather on the surface that the water touches. In this way, researchers can collect charges, but it is far from effective.

To solve this problem, the NUS team built a special device. At both ends of the device —— the top of the newly-designed tube(about 2 millimeters in width), and the water-collecting cup at the bottom ——— electrical wires were placed to harvest charges. First, water is released from a metal needle, forming rain-like droplets.When these droplets enter the tube, their impacts create“plug flow,” in which the water forms mini columns separated by air gaps. This flow is crucial because it allows more surface contact and more time for charges to build up, generating up to 100, 000times more charge separation than continuous flow. As charged droplets exit the tube and fall into the cup, charges build up in the water, creating an electric current. In tests, four tubes produced enough electricity to power 12 LED lights continuously for 20 seconds.
According to the study's lead author, this model shows how rain can be used to generate clean electricity effectively and sustainably, especially in rainy places such as Singapore. Its potential is enormous, as it offers an alternative energy source even in cities. Imagine a rain collection device on your roof, producing small amounts of electricity whenever it rains ——— a small step for a raindrop, but a giant leap for sustainable energy technology.
32. What problem do the NUS researchers aim to solve?
A. The difficulty of separating charges. B. The inefficiency of charge harvesting.
C. The lack of clean electricity sources. D. The damage of traditional hydropower.
33. Which of the following best illustrates“plug flow”?
34. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning the model?
A. Its potential cost in urban areas. B. Its complex design for rain power.
C. Its promising use in green energy. D. Its practical need for more devices.
35. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Revolutionary Energy from Raindrops B. Urgent Demand for Sustainable Energy
C. Capturing Raindrops through Innovation D. Turning Charge Separation into Electricity

I put on a headset, and within seconds I am somewhere else. Ice sheets float on dark water. Wind brushes past my ears, sharp and restless. In the distance, mountains glow(发光) under the moonlight Moments later,Ifind myself inside a museum, leaning close to a painting I have never seen in real life. 36 This is the promise of virtual reality (VR): a world delivered to us without leaving home.
There is much to appreciate in this form of travel. 37 There is no need to consider weather conditions, health issues or financial pressure. You may enter distant places at any moment and leave just as freely. For those restricted by schedule, health, or income, VR quietly removes barriers that traditional travel often sets in place.
38 Travelers wander through unfamiliar streets, sample local dishes, and engage face-to-face with people shaped by different traditions. Such encounters awaken the senses and create lasting memories. More importantly, they change how places feel to us, not just how we understand them.
This distinction is clear, because learning about a destination is not the same as being there. Virtual travel offers designed scenes and programmed sensations, but it remains carefully controlled. Real travel, by contrast,is shaped by unpredictability. 39 In those unplanned moments, understanding becomes lived rather than recorded.
Virtual reality will undoubtedly continue to evolve, enriching how we preview journeys and imagine distant worlds. Still, it cannot replace actual presence. Travel is not simply about seeing farther; it is also about feeling where you stand. 40

That gorgeous notebook sat 42 for months. When I finally opened it, I hesitated. The pages felt too delicate and too 43 to waste on my messy handwriting and ideas. So I 44 it. Instead, I grabbed an old, ugly composition notebook with a 45 cover and dog-eared corners. I started to 46 it with everything: morning pages, random thoughts and reminders. This is surprisingly 47 . I actually wrote.Every day. Without exception.
The psychology is real. When we 48 something too much, we place limits around it, feeling it is“too good”. But the ugly notebook carries no such 49 . It has been used. It tells me,“This is a 50 for thinking and living, not a museum piece.”
Here's the thing: 51 notebooks are idea incubators(孵化器) With the pressure off, you experiment more. You try things that might 52 . And in that freedom bad ideas I was 53 embarrassed about gradually evolved into work I'm proud of. And that's where the real work of creation happens.
The best notebook is never the most beautiful one. It's the one you' ll actually 54 . Because the magic happens in the 55 , not in perfect pages.
Your ugly notebook is waiting.

When food enthusiasts travel, they typically seek more authentic food experiences than dining at the most popular restaurants. True foodies(美食家) discover 56 the roca ls gather with family and friends for meals, a search that sometimes leads them to an unknown street shop that 57 (pride) itself on authentic recipes, capturing the essence of local cuisine.
One such place is Chunfu (Spring and Blessings) Teahouse, 58 (hide) in an old neighborhood away from the bustling main road in Haikou, Hainan Province.
Haikou is home to many teahouses like Chunfu, which are essential to the island's culinary tradition. These establishments offer tea, snacks, and a variety of other drinks and dishes, 59 (serve) as gathering spots where residents spend much of their day. Chunfu is a modest venue, with tables, and chairs that appear to have been used for ages.
Visitors can view the menu offerings at the semi-open kitchen and place their orders on paper, bringing a sense of nostalgia for these 60 (ame). Everyone takes their time, 61 (leisure) enjoying their food and drinks, as if no one is in a rush. This casual attitude explains the meaning behind laobacha(old dad's tea), which has been well-preserved in teahouses like Chunfu.
The teahouse heritage is believed 62 (emerge) in the late 19th century, when Chinese immigrants returned from Southeast Asia bringing back 63 concept of coffee drinking, whieh blended with local tea cture. The lifestyle was named 64 the old men who spent much of their time there, showing a relaxed and unhurried way of life.
For travelers, these time-honored teahouses offer more than a meal; they are a window into the very rhythm65 soul of Hainan's local communities.

Li Yue, a Chinese high school exchange student in London, felt a little nervous when Mr. White said to the class,“This Thursday,I want each of you to bring something that matters to you and share it with the class.” LiYue sat quietly, thinking hard about what to bring. Suddenly, she remembered that the Lantern Festival would be the following Tuesday. A bright idea struck her, making her eyes light up instantly.
Thursday came quickly, and the classroom was filled with joy and laughter. Most students brought snacks and small toys to share. When it was Li Yue's turn, she stood up, holding a beautifully decorated wooden box.She opened it gently and took out a flat, folded piece of red paper. With a few quick, skillful folds and pulls, the paper magically turned into a delicate lantern frame. She placed a candle inside and lit it carefully. The gentle flame came alive, bathing the red lantern in warm light that spread throughout the classroom.
“It's incredible! What is it?” Emma, Li Yue's deskmate, asked eagerly. Li Yue smiled and held up the lantern, introducing the Lantern Festival, its traditions of hanging lanterns, guessing riddles and eating a kind of sweet glutinous rice (糯米) balls called yuanxiao, and how red lanterns symbolize hope and reunion in Chinese culture.“And this year, the Lantern Festival is exactly next Tuesday,” she said.
Seeing how interested the whole class was, Mr. White walked over with a smile.“This is a wonderful way to connect different cultures,” he said to Li Yue.“Would you like to host a Lantern Festival party for the whole grade next Tuesday night? I'm sure it will be fantastic.”
Li Yue nodded firmly, her face bright with excitement.“I'd love to!” she replied. The class broke into applause, but as she sat down, a little worry set in —— how could she make the party fun and unforgettable?

This summer I came face-to-face with three deep-rooted fears:heights,bears,and ageing.
Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway,and since we were all in our seventies,we

For smaller,slower flows,researchers have explored charge separation.They use a tube to let water flow
through it continuously.Charges gather on the surface that the water touches.In this way,researchers can
collect charges,but it is far from effective.

To solve this problem,the NUS team built a special device.At both ends of the device-the top of the
newly-designed tube(about 2 millimeters in width),and the water-collecting cup at the bottom-electrical
wires were placed to harvest charges.First,water is released from a metal needle,forming rain-like droplets.
When these droplets enter the tube,their impacts create "plug flow,"in which the water forms mini columns
separated by air gaps.This flow is crucial because it allows more surtace contact and more time for charges to
build up,generating up to 100,000times more charge separation than continuous flow.As charged droplets exit
the tube and fall into the cup,charges build up in the water,creating an electric current.In tests,four tubes
produced enough electricity to power 12 LED lights continuously for 20 seconds.
According to the study's lead author,this model shows how rain can be used to generate clean electricity
effectively and sustainably,especially in rainy places such as Singapore.Its potential is enormous,as it offers
an alternative energy source even in cities.Imagine a rain collection device on your roof,producing small
amounts of electricity whenever it rains-a small step for a raindrop,but a giant leap for sustainable energy
technology.

I put on a headset,and within seconds I am somewhere else.Ice sheets float on dark water.Wind brushes
past my ears,sharp and restless.In the distance,mountains glow ()under the moonlight Moments later,I
find myself inside a museum,leaning close to a painting I have never seen in real life.36 This is the
promise of virtuat reality (VR):a world delivered to us without leaving home.
There is much to appreciate in this form of travel.37 There is no need to consider weather
conditions,health issues or financial pressure.You may enter distant places at any moment and leave just as
freely.For those restricted by schedule,health,or ineome,VR quietly removes barriers that traditional travel
often sets in place.
38 Travelers wander through unfamiliar streets,sample focal dishes,and engage face-to-face with
people shaped by different traditions.Such encounters awaken the senses and create lasting memories.More
importantly,they change how places feel to us,not just how we understand them.
This distinction is clear,because learning about a destination is not the same as being there.Virtual travel
offers designed scenes and programmed sensations,but it remains carefully controlled.Real travel,by contrast,
is shaped by unpredictability.39:In those unplanned moments,understanding becomes lived rather than
recorded.
Virtual reality will undoubtedly continue to evolve,enriching how we preview journeys and imagine
distant worlds.Still,it cannot replace actual presence.Travel is not simply about seeing farther;it is also about
feeling where you stand.40

A.Yet real travel leaves a deeper mark.
B.I am not moving,yet I am traveling.
C.My feet ache as my journey stretches across the day.
D.Virtual journeys are convenient,time-saving,and widely accessible.
E.Some knowledge,it seems,only arrives when your feet are on the ground.
E It demands choices,adaptation,and constant awareness of the unexpected.
G.But the convenience may gradually weaken our desire to explore the real world.

Li Yue,a Chinese high school exchange student in London,felt a little nervous when Mr.White said to the
class,"This Thursday,I want each of you to bring something that matters to you and share it with the class."Li
Yue sat quietly,thinking hard about what to bring.Suddenly,she remembered that the Lantern Festival would
be the following Tuesday.A bright idea struck her,making her eyes light up instantly.
Thursday came quickly,and the classroom was filled with joy and laughter.Most students brought snacks
and small toys to share.When it was Li Yue's turn,she stood up,holding a beautifully decorated wooden box.
She opened it gently and took out a flat,folded piece of red paper.With a few quick,skillful folds and pulls,the
paper magically turned into a delicate lantern frame.She placed a candle inside and lit it carefully.The gentle
flame came alive,bathing the red lantern in warm light that spread throughout the classroom.
"It's incredible!What is it?"Emma,Li Yue's deskmate,asked eagerly.Li Yue smiled and held up the
lantern,introducing the Lantern Festival,its traditions of hanging lanterns,guessing riddles and eating a kind of
sweet glutinous rice()balls called yuanxiao,and how red lanterns symbolize hope and reunion in Chinese
culture."And this year,the Lantern Festival is exactly next Tuesday,"she said.
Seeing how interested the whole class was,Mr.White walked over with a smile."This is a wonderful way
to connect different cultures,"he said to Li Yue."Would you like to host a Lantern Festival party for the whole
grade next Tuesday night?I'm sure it will be fantastic."
Li Yue nodded firmly,her face bright with excitement."I'd love to!"she replied.The class broke into
applause,but as she sat down,a little worry set in-how could she make the party fun and unforgettable?
