Language is a bridge of interaction between nations. As more and more people start to study Chinese, the world will gain an even ____12____ (deep) understanding of China. On its part, China will also welcome the world with greater ____13____ (open) to the international community.
【答案】11. is highlighted
12. deeper 13. openness
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了联合国中文日及中文对促进国际交流和中国开放发展的重要意义。
【11题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:在这一天,中国文化和语言的贡献被突出强调。空处作谓语动词,根据“every year on or around April 20”可知,句子描述经常性、习惯性的动作,应用一般现在时,主语“The contribution of Chinese culture and language”和动词“highlight”之间是被动关系,应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是第三人称单数,be动词用is。故填is highlighted。
【12题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:随着越来越多的人开始学习汉语,世界将对中国有更深入的了解。根据“even”可知,此处指和之前相比,世界将对中国有更深入的了解,空处应用形容词的比较级,作定语修饰名词“understanding”,deep的比较级是deeper。故填deeper。
【13题详解】

B
阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
Maybe you’re one of those who take off sweaters when others; ____14____ (complain) that it’s cold, are still wearing them. Or you’re the person on a sweater while everyone else feels hot. The point is, there’s no single temperature regarded ____15____ comfortable for everyone. In fact, our perception of heat and cold doesn’t just depend on the temperature. Combinations of factors unique to individuals — age, gender, medical condition — affect ____16____ we experience temperature.
【答案】14. complaining
15. as 16. how
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了不同人对温度感知存在差异的原因,指出个体独特的因素组合会影响人们对温度的体验,而非单一的气温标准。
【14题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:你可能是这类人之一,当别人抱怨天冷、仍穿着毛衣时,你却脱掉毛衣。从句中已有谓语动词are,空格需用非谓语形式;动词complain与逻辑主语others之间是主动关系,故用现在分词complaining作后置定语,修饰others。故填complaining。
【15题详解】
考查介词。句意:关键在于,没有一种单一的温度被认为对所有人都舒适。regard... as... 是固定搭配,意为“把……看作,认为……是……”,此处为过去分词短语regarded as作后置定语。故填as。
【16题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:年龄、性别、身体状况等个体特有的多种因素组合,会影响我们对温度的感受方式。空格处引导宾语从句,作动词affect的宾语,且在从句中作方式状语,意为“如何,怎样”。故填how。
C

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述飓风海伦妮来袭时,当地居民Marty Thomas不顾自家被淹,多次往返营救乡邻并将他们安全送到未被洪水淹没的避难所的事迹。
【17题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当飓风海伦妮冲向岩石海滩时,包括马蒂·托马斯在内的许多居民都留在原地,因为天气预报称风暴会避开他们。固定搭配be forecast to do sth.表示“被预报做某事”,此处用不定式结构。故填to miss。
【18题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:托马斯冲过去叫醒邻居,把一位老人从床上扶进自己的车里。and连接并列谓语,前面rushed为一般过去时,此处也应用一般过去时,用take的过去式。故填took。
【19题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:托马斯自己的房子被洪水淹没了,他多次开车回去营救他长大的小镇上的人们,将他们安全地送到未被洪水淹没的避难所。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为Thomas,从句中缺少定语修饰own house,表示“……的”,应用关系代词whose。故填whose。
【20题详解】
考查形容词。句意:托马斯自己的房子被洪水淹没了,他多次开车回去营救他长大的小镇上的人们,将他们安全地送到未被洪水淹没的避难所。此处修饰名词shelters,表示“未被洪水淹没的”,应用形容词unflooded作定语。故填unflooded。

As I stepped out of the DMV (车管所) with my license and my head held high, I thought of all the new memories I could create. The places I could drive to were limitless. As I started driving, however, I realized that it wasn’t the GPS saying, “You have reached your destination,” that gave me a rush in my heart. The journey became more electrifying as I sang along to my “Driving Playlist”.
I never understood when my mom asked me, “Do you want to go out for a drive, man?” There was nowhere to go — I didn’t have a class or a club that we would be driving to. It would be 5:00 pm on a random Tuesday when she posed the question. I declined the offer. For a long time, I approached my creative aspirations the same way I viewed those drives — only with a purpose when given a specific destination.
I only picked up a paintbrush when school required it for a project. I only took up a book when I had a reading assignment. I knew I needed to change the belief that because there wasn’t a grade attached to my passion, that was meaningless. In an art project, a good friend of mine offered a solution that erased my desire for perfection: she told me to just draw aimlessly on paper. Without an end product in mind, I was able to construct a masterpiece that I could be proud of without having to receive an “A+” on it.
In the past, I was driven by the fear of missing out (FOMO). Instead of enjoying moments with my friends, I attended every single academic event because I worried about the consequences if I missed one. At the start of my senior year, I feared missing out on the “high school experience” that was portrayed (描绘) in the movies I watched growing up. Yet, I am now defining my own version of that experience. It is worthwhile to pursue simple passions in life. There doesn’t need to be a grand reason for venturing out of the house; driving just for the sake of driving is my favourite pastime.
The day I got my license, I no longer grabbed the wheel with hesitation; I was in control of it as I uncovered a new world of possibilities.
24. How did the author feel when he first got his driver’s license?
A. Rewarded. B. Heartened.
C. Honoured. D. Relieved.
25. What changed the author’s perspective on school life?
A. His desire to receive an “A+”.
B. Moments shared with his friends.
C. A product to create a masterpiece.
D. A friend’s suggestion to draw aimlessly.
26. The author’s previous FOMO was related to ______.
A. the movies on high school life
B. a grand reason for driving around
C. the pressure of study in high school
D. a grade attached to academic events
27. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Trends help you find your true passion.
B. A journey holds more than the destination.
C. A well-planned path finally leads to success.
D. Childhood shows the man, as morning shows the day.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者以拿到驾照后开车的经历为切入点,讲述了自己从“只为目标而行动”到“享受过程本身”的心态转变,领悟到人生不必事事追求明确目的,追寻简单的热爱本身就有意义。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“As I stepped out of the DMV (车管所) with my license and my head held high, I thought of all the new memories I could create. The places I could drive to were limitless.(当我拿着驾照昂首挺胸地走出车管所时,我想到了所有可以创造的新回忆。我能开车去的地方是无限的)”可知,作者刚拿到驾照时内心振奋、充满希望的。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“I knew I needed to change the belief that because there wasn’t a grade attached to my passion, that was meaningless. In an art project, a good friend of mine offered a solution that erased my desire for perfection: she told me to just draw aimlessly on paper.(我知道我需要改变“因为热爱没有分数加持就毫无意义”的想法。在一次艺术项目中,我的好朋友给了一个消除我完美主义执念的办法:她让我只是漫无目的地在纸上画画)”可知,朋友“漫无目的地画画”的建议改变了作者对校园生活、对热爱的看法。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In the past, I was driven by the fear of missing out (FOMO). Instead of enjoying moments with my friends, I attended every single academic event because I worried about the consequences if I missed one.(以前,我总是被害怕错过(FOMO)的心理驱使着。我没有去享受和朋友们在一起的时光,而是参加了每一场学术活动,因为我担心一旦错过,就会产生不好的后果)”可知,作者之前的FOMO与学业活动所关联的成绩有关。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“As I started driving, however, I realized that it wasn’t the GPS saying, “You have reached your destination,” that gave me a rush in my heart. The journey became more electrifying as I sang along to my “Driving Playlist”.(然而,当我开始开车时,我才意识到,让我内心激动的并不是GPS播报的“您已到达目的地”。当我跟着我的“驾驶歌单”放声歌唱时,这段旅程反而变得更加令人兴奋)”以及全文“不必为目标而行动,享受过程本身”的核心主旨可知,文章传递的道理是“旅途比目的地更有意义”,B选项“A journey holds more than the destination.(旅途承载的意义远多于目的地)”契合全文主旨。故选B。
C
It was dark outside, a late afternoon in the winter of 1981. As I did each week during my last year of graduate school, I was sitting with my thesis (论文) director, the poet James Dickey. I remember that particular meeting because of one ill-chosen word. In a poem that was otherwise finished, a single adjective was clearly wrong. We batted alternatives back and forth across the desk, but none was right.
Hours later, while I was washing the cups at ten o’clock, the right word surfaced: pale. Without pausing to weigh the hour, I called my professor and said, “The word is ‘pale’.” Mr. Dickey was overjoyed about that word, every bit as delighted as I was. If only for a moment, the world made a kind of sense it hadn’t made before.
I had not thought about that phone call, much less that poem, in many years, but I’ve begun to think about it often. Nowadays, “AI assistants” have suddenly colonized (征服) my documents. They appear out of nowhere, like fruit flies around an overripe banana. In this brave new world, the search for a word like “pale” has been outsourced to a robot that will never suggest such a word. The yoking of unlikely adjective and noun is still, for now, the province of unwetted poets. I have spent hours trying to kill these ghosts in my machine. In some cases, I can’t turn it off at all.
The writing teachers I know struggle to persuade their students not to use these tools. They are everywhere now. Who could blame a young writer for wondering how using these “assistants” is any different from using spell check or letting AI supply the next word in a text? Besides, if they don’t use these tools, won’t they be falling behind the many students who do?
Who was it who first said, “I don’t know what I think until I see what I write”? Versions of this statement have been attributed (具有……特质) to writers as various as Joan Didion, William Faulkner, and Stephen. In I, Robot, the 2004 film loosely inspired by Isaac Asimov’s classic sci-fi novel, one robot has feelings. It learns to solve problems with human creativity. And with those attributes come the questions raised by being human. Twenty-six minutes into the film, the robot asks, plaintively, “What am I?” This is a question writers ask every day.
28. The author suggests the AI tools are ______.
A. intended to substitute for teachers’ judgment
B. ideal for choosing rare and unlikely adjectives
C. suitable for drafting poems with impactful imagery
D. helpful for routine messages yet limited for discovery
29. What does the word “yoking” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Explaining. B. Comparing.
C. Joining. D. Describing.
30. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. I, Human
B. A Word, A World
C. I, Robot
D. A Student, A Professor
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者回忆早年与导师反复推敲诗歌用词的创作喜悦,对比当下AI充斥写作场景的现状,指出AI仅能完成常规文字工作,无法实现人类独有的精妙文字创作;并借影视台词与作家感悟,凸显人类创作与自我思考的独特价值。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In this brave new world, the search for a word like “pale” has been outsourced to a robot that will never suggest such a word. The yoking of unlikely adjective and noun is still, for now, the province of unwetted poets.( 在这个全新的世界里,寻找像“pale”这样的词的任务被外包给了一个永远不会提出这种词的机器人。将不太可能同时出现的形容词和名词组合在一起,目前仍只是那些未被浸染、未经他人影响的诗人的专利。)”以及第四段中“Who could blame a young writer for wondering how using these “assistants” is any different from using spell check or letting AI supply the next word in a text? Besides, if they don’t use these tools, won’t they be falling behind the many students who do?( 谁又能责怪一位年轻的作家去思考使用这些“助手”与使用拼写检查或让人工智能为文本提供下一个单词有何不同呢?此外,如果不使用这些工具,他们难道不会落后于许多使用它们的学生吗?)”可知,文中提及AI可完成拼写检查、文本续词等常规写作任务,但永远无法给出“pale”这类贴合诗歌意境的精妙词汇,也无法实现人类的创作灵感与文字探索。由此可推知,AI对常规信息处理有帮助,但在文学创作、灵感发现层面存在极大局限。故选D项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“The yoking of unlikely adjective and noun (看似不搭的形容词与名词yoking)”结合前文作者为诗歌匹配“pale”一词的语境,此处指将词汇进行搭配、结合。yoke 本义为“用轭连接;结合”,与 C选项join (连接、结合)同义。故选C项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“And with those attributes come the questions raised by being human. Twenty-six minutes into the film, the robot asks, plaintively, “What am I?” This is a question writers ask every day.( 而伴随着这些特质而来的,还有作为人类所引发的问题。在电影播放的第26分钟时,这个机器人哀怨地问道:“我是什么?”这是作家们每天都会问的问题。)”可知,文章以人类创作的独特性对比AI的局限,结尾借电影中机器人追问 “我是什么”,呼应人类作家每日的自我思考,核心凸显人类独有的创作、思考与自我认知价值。A选项《I, Human (我,人类)》精准契合主旨,适合作为文章的标题,反观其他选项均为片面细节。故选A项。
D
For a long period, many parents have assumed that additional mathematics exercises and an increased number of after-school classes represent the most reliable route to improving a child’s prospects. More recently, however, a research team at the University of Melbourne has directed attention to a different type of educational experience: sustained participation in school-based arts programmes. Their ten-year longitudinal study indicates that regular engagement in the arts is associated with enhanced emotional well-being, greater social confidence and higher levels of engagement with academic work.
The researchers tracked nearly 8,500 students from Grade 3 through Grade 12. At two-year intervals, the students reported the frequency with which they joined school bands, took part in theatrical performances, contributed to designing stage sets or posters, or attended art clubs after school. At the same time, teachers systematically documented observable changes in classroom behaviour, including whether students completed homework on time, participated in group discussions or displayed disruptive conduct during lessons.
When the team compared students from broadly similar family backgrounds, a consistent pattern emerged. Those who participated in arts activities at least once a week were, on average, less anxious and more optimistic about their future than peers who rarely took part. Students in the arts-participation group were also more likely to remain in school through to graduation and to report that “school is a place where I belong.”
The researchers then sought to explore potential mechanisms underlying these outcomes. Interviews with students pointed to several contributory factors. Rehearsing (排练) for a concert or a play, for instance, required them to manage their time carefully, attend to the views of others and tolerate feedback in the presence of their peers. Some quieter students reported discovering that they could communicate strong emotions through a role on stage or through the use of colour and form on a canvas (画布).
The study stops short of presenting arts education as a simple guarantee of success. Even so, the authors contend that when schools reduce provision in music or art in order to create additional time for test preparation, they may unintentionally remove one of the few environments in which certain students feel recognised and valued. On this basis, the researchers recommend that schools maintain a basic level of arts provision, particularly in communities experiencing economic pressure.
31. What can be inferred about school arts activities?
A. It leads to higher marks in school subjects.
B. It gives students a stronger sense of belonging.
C. It takes the place of academic support after class.
D. It is designed for students from well-off families.
32. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Arts education has limited value in exam-driven systems.
B. Test practice changes when schools increase arts activities.
C. Parents are the force behind the reduction of arts programmes.
D. Cutting arts provision has side effects that are easy to overlook.
33. What does the author mainly do in Paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Present a research project and its implications.
B. Compare different types of after-school classes.
C. Highlight a viewpoint with various after-school activities.
D. Challenge a common belief through interviews with students.
34. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How school arts education aids students’ development.
B. How exam pressure changes parents’ assumptions for education.
C. How students gradually lose their motivation for communication.
D. How researchers record and assess students’ after-school behaviours.
【答案】31. B 32. D 33. A 34. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究发现,持续参与学校艺术活动可提升学生情绪健康、社交自信与学业参与度,还能增强归属感;学校不应为备考削减艺术课程,而应保留基础艺术教育。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Students in the arts-participation group were also more likely to remain in school through to graduation and to report that “school is a place where I belong.”(参与艺术活动的学生也更有可能顺利完成学业,并表示“学校是我归属的地方”。)”可推知,艺术活动能让学生产生更强的校园归属感。故选B项。

推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Even so, the authors contend that when schools reduce provision in music or art in order to create additional time for test preparation, they may unintentionally remove one of the few environments in which certain students feel recognised and valued.( 即便如此,作者们仍认为,当学校为了腾出更多时间用于备考而削减音乐或艺术课程的开设时,他们可能会无意中剥夺了某些学生仅存的、能让他们感到被认可和重视的环境之一。)”可推知,削减艺术课程会带来一些容易被忽视的副作用。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“When the team compared students from broadly similar family backgrounds, a consistent pattern emerged. Those who participated in arts activities at least once a week were, on average, less anxious and more optimistic about their future than peers who rarely took part.( 当研究团队将来自大致相似家庭背景的学生进行对比时,一个一致的模式逐渐显现出来。那些每周至少参加一次艺术活动的学生,平均而言,比很少参与此类活动的同龄人焦虑程度更低,对未来也更加乐观。)”以及第四段中“The researchers then sought to explore potential mechanisms underlying these outcomes. Interviews with students pointed to several contributory factors.( 随后,研究人员试图探究这些结果背后可能存在的机制。对学生的访谈指出了几个促成因素。)”可知,第三段展示了研究得出的客观结果与规律,第四段进一步探究产生这些结果的内在原因,整体呈现了研究内容及其带来的启示。故选A项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“More recently, however, a research team at the University of Melbourne has directed attention to a different type of educational experience: sustained participation in school-based arts programmes. Their ten-year longitudinal study indicates that regular engagement in the arts is associated with enhanced emotional well-being, greater social confidence and higher levels of engagement with academic work.( 然而,最近墨尔本大学的一个研究团队将注意力转向了另一种教育体验:持续参与学校开展的艺术项目。他们的一项为期十年的纵向研究表明,经常参与艺术活动与增强的情绪健康、更大的社交自信以及更积极地投入学业工作密切相关。)”可知,全文围绕墨尔本大学的研究展开,核心论述学校艺术教育对学生情绪健康、社交自信、学业参与、校园归属感等多方面发展的积极作用。由此可知,这篇文章的主旨是学校艺术教育如何促进学生的发展。故选A项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)

Many teenagers promise themselves they’ll go to sleep early, yet still stay up scrolling (浏览) their phones in the dark. As minutes turn into an hour, messages, short videos and games keep their brains awake. ____35____ Blue light from the screen slows the release of sleep hormones (荷尔蒙), and worries from social media can follow you into your dreams. The habit can be changed with a few simple steps.
Build a phone-free wind-down time. Avoid lying in bed with your phone beside you. ____36____ After that, you might read a paper book, write in a diary, or simply listen to soft music. Keeping your hands busy with offline activities makes it easier to forget about checking your phone again.
Understand why you reach for your phone. ____37____ Maybe you are afraid of missing out on news from friends, or maybe you are putting off thinking about homework. Once you name the true reason, you can look for healthier ways to deal with it, such as talking to someone you trust.
Make nights something to look forward to. Plan a small treat, like enjoying a cup of warm milk or doing a short relaxation exercise. You could also keep a grateful list and add three good things that happened that day. ____38____ When your brain connects bedtime with comfort instead of stress, the pull of the phone grows weaker.
____39____ Instead, by practising these ideas, you can protect your sleep, care for your mental health, and wake up with more energy for the next day.
A. You don’t have to let late-night scrolling control your life.
B. Without strict requirements, you may stay up all night long.
C. Of course, you shouldn’t completely give up smartphones to sleep well.
D. Set a clear “screen-off” time, such as 30 minutes before you plan to sleep.
E. Over time, this late-night scrolling quietly steals both your rest and your energy.
F. Ask yourself what you are really looking for when you keep refreshing the screen.
G. Focusing on these pleasant moments gently moves your attention away from the screen.
【答案】35. E 36. D 37. F 38. G 39. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章针对青少年“承诺早睡却仍熬夜刷手机”的普遍问题,从危害分析到解决方案,给出了一套可操作的改善方法。
【35题详解】
空格前“As minutes turn into an hour, messages, short videos and games keep their brains awake.(随着时间从分钟变成小时,消息、短视频和游戏让他们的大脑保持清醒)”提到青少年熬夜刷手机的行为。空格后“Blue light from the screen slows the release of sleep hormones (荷尔蒙), and worries from social media can follow you into your dreams.(屏幕发出的蓝光会减缓睡眠荷尔蒙的释放,社交媒体带来的担忧会伴随你进入梦乡)”说明这种行为的具体危害。E选项“Over time, this late-night scrolling quietly steals both your rest and your energy.(久而久之,这种深夜刷手机的行为会悄悄偷走你的休息和精力)”既承接了前文的行为描述,又能自然引出后文的危害说明,完美串联起上下文逻辑。故选E项。
【36题详解】
空格前“Build a phone-free wind-down time. Avoid lying in bed with your phone beside you.(建立一个无手机的放松时间。避免躺在床上时把手机放在身边)”提出要在睡前远离手机的建议。空格后“After that, you might read a paper book, write in a diary, or simply listen to soft music.(在那之后,你可以读一本纸质书、写日记,或者只是听轻柔的音乐)”给出了睡前无手机时间的具体活动。D选项“Set a clear “screen-off” time, such as 30 minutes before you plan to sleep.(设定一个明确的“屏幕关闭”时间,比如计划睡觉前30分钟)”中的““screen-off” time”正好呼应了前文的“phone-free wind-down time”,同时为后文的“After that”提供了明确的时间节点,让建议更具可操作性。故选D项。
【37题详解】
空格前“Understand why you reach for your phone.(弄清楚你为什么要拿起手机)”提出要找到熬夜刷手机的原因。空格后“Maybe you are afraid of missing out on news from friends, or maybe you are putting off thinking about homework.(也许你害怕错过朋友的消息,也许你在回避思考作业)”给出了两种可能的原因。F选项“Ask yourself what you are really looking for when you keep refreshing the screen.(问问自己,当你不断刷新屏幕时,你真正在寻找什么)”是对前文“弄清楚原因”的具体方法指导,同时能自然引出后文的原因举例,符合段落逻辑。故选F项。
【38题详解】
空格前“You could also keep a grateful list and add three good things that happened that day.(你也可以列一份感恩清单,写下当天发生的三件好事)”建议通过记录积极事物来改善睡前习惯。G选项“Focusing on these pleasant moments gently moves your attention away from the screen.(专注于这些愉快的时刻,会逐渐将你的注意力从屏幕上移开)”中的“these pleasant moments”指代前文的“three good things that happened that day”,解释了记录积极事物的作用,与空格后“When your brain connects bedtime with comfort instead of stress, the pull of the phone grows weaker.(当你的大脑将 bedtime与舒适而非压力联系起来时,手机的吸引力就会减弱)”形成逻辑上的递进关系,让段落主旨更完整。故选G项。
【39题详解】
空格后“Instead, by practising these ideas, you can protect your sleep, care for your mental health, and wake up with more energy for the next day.(相反,通过实践这些方法,你可以保护你的睡眠,关心你的心理健康,第二天醒来时更有精力)”给出了积极的结果。A选项“You don’t have to let late-night scrolling control your life.(你不必让深夜刷手机控制你的生活)”既承接了前文对熬夜刷手机问题的讨论,又能自然引出后文的解决方案和积极结果,与“Instead”形成完美的转折关系。故选A项。
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
The prize may belong to the fastest, but sometimes the person who lifts the trophy (奖杯) is not the only winner. That was clearly seen at a recent cross-country race in Greenfield, Ohio.
There were two main runners in the event: Marcus Lee and Daniel Rivera. Marcus, a 17-year-old from Lakeside High School, had trained for months, dreaming of earning a sports scholarship. Daniel, from North Ridge High, was known by his classmates as someone who would rather help others than gain attention for himself. He once told his teammates, “When you are standing at a crossroad, you can choose the path of self-interest, or you can go the extra mile for someone in need.”
The race went smoothly at first. The runners moved like a colourful river through the trees. With less than one kilometre to go, however, Marcus stepped on a loose stone, lost his balance and fell, badly hurting his knee. “I heard a sharp sound and felt something go wrong,” Daniel later recalled.
Marcus tried to stand up and waved for Daniel to pass him and keep going. For most athletes, crossing the line first is the main goal. But in that moment, winning suddenly seemed less important to Daniel. As he reached Marcus, he saw the pain on his face and heard his short, shaking breaths.
Instead of running ahead, Daniel stopped and put Marcus’s arm over his shoulder. Slowly step by step, they moved towards the finish line together. “Helping him finish meant more than any medal,” Daniel said later. “That day, we both won in a different way.”
40. What event did Marcus and Daniel take part in?
________________________________________________________________________________________
41. Why had Marcus trained so hard for months?
________________________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
➤Daniel, who had been Marcus’s close classmate at Lakeside High School, helped injured Marcus cross the finish line.
________________________________________________________________________________________
43. What do you think of Daniel’s choice in the race? (In about 40 words)
________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. They took part in a cross-country race in Greenfield, Ohio.
41. He had trained hard because he dreamed of earning a sports scholarship.
42. ➤Daniel, who had been Marcus’s close classmate at Lakeside High School, helped injured Marcus cross the finish line. Because according to the passage they come from different schools — Marcus is from Lakeside High School and Daniel is from North Ridge High.
43.
I think Daniel’s choice is truly inspiring. He puts kindness and compassion above personal glory, showing the best of sportsmanship. His selfless act proves that true victory lies not in winning a race, but in lifting others up.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在俄亥俄州格林菲尔德的一场越野赛跑中,原本有望夺冠的选手Daniel Rivera,在看到竞争对手Marcus Lee因摔倒膝盖受伤后,放弃独自冲线,选择搀扶Marcus一同走向终点的故事。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段的句子“That was clearly seen at a recent cross-country race in Greenfield, Ohio. (这在俄亥俄州格林菲尔德最近的一场越野赛跑中体现得淋漓尽致。)”和第二段的句子“There were two main runners in the event: Marcus Lee and Daniel Rivera.(这次比赛有两名主要选手:Marcus Lee和Daniel Rivera。)”可知,Marcus Lee和Daniel Rivera参加的是在俄亥俄州格林菲尔德举行的越野赛跑。故答案为They took part in a cross-country race in Greenfield, Ohio.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段的句子“Marcus, a 17-year-old from Lakeside High School, had trained for months, dreaming of earning a sports scholarship. 17岁的Marcus来自湖滨高中,他训练了几个月,梦想着获得体育奖学金。)”可知,Marcus刻苦训练的原因是想获得体育奖学金。故答案为He had trained hard because he dreamed of earning a sports scholarship.
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段的句子“Marcus, a 17-year-old from Lakeside High School, had trained for months, dreaming of earning a sports scholarship. Daniel, from North Ridge High, was known by his classmates as someone who would rather help others than gain attention for himself.(17岁的Marcus来自湖滨高中,他训练了几个月,梦想着获得体育奖学金。Daniel来自北岭高中,同学们都知道他是一个宁愿帮助别人也不愿为自己赢得关注的人。)”可知,Marcus和Daniel两人并非同一所学校的同学,因此表述中的Daniel, who had been Marcus’s close classmate at Lakeside High School部分是错误的。故答案为Daniel, who had been Marcus’s close classmate at Lakeside High School, helped injured Marcus cross the finish line. Because according to the passage they come from different schools — Marcus is from Lakeside High School and Daniel is from North Ridge High.
【43题详解】
开放性试题。根据最后一段的句子“‘Helping him finish meant more than any medal,’ Daniel said later. ‘That day, we both won in a different way.’(丹尼尔后来说:‘帮他完成比赛比任何奖牌都重要。那天,我们都以不同的方式赢了。’)”可知,Daniel的选择体现了超越胜负的善意与体育精神。故答案为I think Daniel’s choice is truly inspiring. He puts kindness and compassion above personal glory, showing the best of sportsmanship. His selfless act proves that true victory lies not in winning a race, but in lifting others up.

As I stepped out of the DMV (车管所) with my license and my head held high, I thought of all the new memories I could create. The places I could drive to were limitless. As I started driving, however, I realized that it wasn’t the GPS saying, “You have reached your destination,” that gave me a rush in my heart. The journey became more electrifying as I sang along to my “Driving Playlist”.
I never understood when my mom asked me, “Do you want to go out for a drive, man?” There was nowhere to go — I didn’t have a class or a club that we would be driving to. It would be 5:00 pm on a random Tuesday when she posed the question. I declined the offer. For a long time, I approached my creative aspirations the same way I viewed those drives — only with a purpose when given a specific destination.
I only picked up a paintbrush when school required it for a project. I only took up a book when I had a reading assignment. I knew I needed to change the belief that because there wasn’t a grade attached to my passion, that was meaningless. In an art project, a good friend of mine offered a solution that erased my desire for perfection: she told me to just draw aimlessly on paper. Without an end product in mind, I was able to construct a masterpiece that I could be proud of without having to receive an “A+” on it.
In the past, I was driven by the fear of missing out (FOMO). Instead of enjoying moments with my friends, I attended every single academic event because I worried about the consequences if I missed one. At the start of my senior year, I feared missing out on the “high school experience” that was portrayed (描绘) in the movies I watched growing up. Yet, I am now defining my own version of that experience. It is worthwhile to pursue simple passions in life. There doesn’t need to be a grand reason for venturing out of the house; driving just for the sake of driving is my favourite pastime.
The day I got my license, I no longer grabbed the wheel with hesitation; I was in control of it as I uncovered a new world of possibilities.
24. How did the author feel when he first got his driver’s license?
A. Rewarded. B. Heartened.
C. Honoured. D. Relieved.
25. What changed the author’s perspective on school life?
A. His desire to receive an “A+”.
B. Moments shared with his friends.
C. A product to create a masterpiece.
D. A friend’s suggestion to draw aimlessly.
26. The author’s previous FOMO was related to ______.
A. the movies on high school life
B. a grand reason for driving around
C. the pressure of study in high school
D. a grade attached to academic events
27. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Trends help you find your true passion.
B. A journey holds more than the destination.
C. A well-planned path finally leads to success.
D. Childhood shows the man, as morning shows the day.
C
It was dark outside, a late afternoon in the winter of 1981. As I did each week during my last year of graduate school, I was sitting with my thesis (论文) director, the poet James Dickey. I remember that particular meeting because of one ill-chosen word. In a poem that was otherwise finished, a single adjective was clearly wrong. We batted alternatives back and forth across the desk, but none was right.
Hours later, while I was washing the cups at ten o’clock, the right word surfaced: pale. Without pausing to weigh the hour, I called my professor and said, “The word is ‘pale’.” Mr. Dickey was overjoyed about that word, every bit as delighted as I was. If only for a moment, the world made a kind of sense it hadn’t made before.
I had not thought about that phone call, much less that poem, in many years, but I’ve begun to think about it often. Nowadays, “AI assistants” have suddenly colonized (征服) my documents. They appear out of nowhere, like fruit flies around an overripe banana. In this brave new world, the search for a word like “pale” has been outsourced to a robot that will never suggest such a word. The yoking of unlikely adjective and noun is still, for now, the province of unwetted poets. I have spent hours trying to kill these ghosts in my machine. In some cases, I can’t turn it off at all.
The writing teachers I know struggle to persuade their students not to use these tools. They are everywhere now. Who could blame a young writer for wondering how using these “assistants” is any different from using spell check or letting AI supply the next word in a text? Besides, if they don’t use these tools, won’t they be falling behind the many students who do?
Who was it who first said, “I don’t know what I think until I see what I write”? Versions of this statement have been attributed (具有……特质) to writers as various as Joan Didion, William Faulkner, and Stephen. In I, Robot, the 2004 film loosely inspired by Isaac Asimov’s classic sci-fi novel, one robot has feelings. It learns to solve problems with human creativity. And with those attributes come the questions raised by being human. Twenty-six minutes into the film, the robot asks, plaintively, “What am I?” This is a question writers ask every day.
28. The author suggests the AI tools are ______.
A. intended to substitute for teachers’ judgment
B. ideal for choosing rare and unlikely adjectives
C. suitable for drafting poems with impactful imagery
D. helpful for routine messages yet limited for discovery
29. What does the word “yoking” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Explaining. B. Comparing.
C. Joining. D. Describing.
30. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. I, Human
B. A Word, A World
C. I, Robot
D. A Student, A Professor
D
For a long period, many parents have assumed that additional mathematics exercises and an increased number of after-school classes represent the most reliable route to improving a child’s prospects. More recently, however, a research team at the University of Melbourne has directed attention to a different type of educational experience: sustained participation in school-based arts programmes. Their ten-year longitudinal study indicates that regular engagement in the arts is associated with enhanced emotional well-being, greater social confidence and higher levels of engagement with academic work.
The researchers tracked nearly 8,500 students from Grade 3 through Grade 12. At two-year intervals, the students reported the frequency with which they joined school bands, took part in theatrical performances, contributed to designing stage sets or posters, or attended art clubs after school. At the same time, teachers systematically documented observable changes in classroom behaviour, including whether students completed homework on time, participated in group discussions or displayed disruptive conduct during lessons.
When the team compared students from broadly similar family backgrounds, a consistent pattern emerged. Those who participated in arts activities at least once a week were, on average, less anxious and more optimistic about their future than peers who rarely took part. Students in the arts-participation group were also more likely to remain in school through to graduation and to report that “school is a place where I belong.”
The researchers then sought to explore potential mechanisms underlying these outcomes. Interviews with students pointed to several contributory factors. Rehearsing (排练) for a concert or a play, for instance, required them to manage their time carefully, attend to the views of others and tolerate feedback in the presence of their peers. Some quieter students reported discovering that they could communicate strong emotions through a role on stage or through the use of colour and form on a canvas (画布).
The study stops short of presenting arts education as a simple guarantee of success. Even so, the authors contend that when schools reduce provision in music or art in order to create additional time for test preparation, they may unintentionally remove one of the few environments in which certain students feel recognised and valued. On this basis, the researchers recommend that schools maintain a basic level of arts provision, particularly in communities experiencing economic pressure.
31. What can be inferred about school arts activities?
A. It leads to higher marks in school subjects.
B. It gives students a stronger sense of belonging.
C. It takes the place of academic support after class.
D. It is designed for students from well-off families.
32. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Arts education has limited value in exam-driven systems.
B. Test practice changes when schools increase arts activities.
C. Parents are the force behind the reduction of arts programmes.
D. Cutting arts provision has side effects that are easy to overlook.
33. What does the author mainly do in Paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Present a research project and its implications.
B. Compare different types of after-school classes.
C. Highlight a viewpoint with various after-school activities.
D. Challenge a common belief through interviews with students.
34. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How school arts education aids students’ development.
B. How exam pressure changes parents’ assumptions for education.
C. How students gradually lose their motivation for communication.
D. How researchers record and assess students’ after-school behaviours.

Many teenagers promise themselves they’ll go to sleep early, yet still stay up scrolling (浏览) their phones in the dark. As minutes turn into an hour, messages, short videos and games keep their brains awake. ____35____ Blue light from the screen slows the release of sleep hormones (荷尔蒙), and worries from social media can follow you into your dreams.

Build a phone-free wind-down time. Avoid lying in bed with your phone beside you. ____36____ After that, you might read a paper book, write in a diary, or simply listen to soft music. Keeping your hands busy with offline activities makes it easier to forget about checking your phone again.
Understand why you reach for your phone. ____37____ Maybe you are afraid of missing out on news from friends, or maybe you are putting off thinking about homework. Once you name the true reason, you can look for healthier ways to deal with it, such as talking to someone you trust.
Make nights something to look forward to. Plan a small treat, like enjoying a cup of warm milk or doing a short relaxation exercise. You could also keep a grateful list and add three good things that happened that day. ____38____ When your brain connects bedtime with comfort instead of stress, the pull of the phone grows weaker.
____39____ Instead, by practising these ideas, you can protect your sleep, care for your mental health, and wake up with more energy for the next day.

The prize may belong to the fastest, but sometimes the person who lifts the trophy (奖杯) is not the only winner. That was clearly seen at a recent cross-country race in Greenfield, Ohio.
There were two main runners in the event: Marcus Lee and Daniel Rivera. Marcus, a 17-year-old from Lakeside High School, had trained for months, dreaming of earning a sports scholarship. Daniel, from North Ridge High, was known by his classmates as someone who would rather help others than gain attention for himself. He once told his teammates, “When you are standing at a crossroad, you can choose the path of self-interest, or you can go the extra mile for someone in need.”
The race went smoothly at first. The runners moved like a colourful river through the trees. With less than one kilometre to go, however, Marcus stepped on a loose stone, lost his balance and fell, badly hurting his knee. “I heard a sharp sound and felt something go wrong,” Daniel later recalled.
Marcus tried to stand up and waved for Daniel to pass him and keep going. For most athletes, crossing the line first is the main goal. But in that moment, winning suddenly seemed less important to Daniel. As he reached Marcus, he saw the pain on his face and heard his short, shaking breaths.
Instead of running ahead, Daniel stopped and put Marcus’s arm over his shoulder. Slowly step by step, they moved towards the finish line together. “Helping him finish meant more than any medal,” Daniel said later. “That day, we both won in a different way.”
