For the past eight years, the retired biology teacher’s balcony in Buenos Aires has been a safe haven for injured or abandoned wild geese. With her careful care, more than 200 geese have regained strength and returned to the nearby wetlands. Lila’s journey with wild geese began in 2015, two years after her husband passed away. She felt lost and lonely until one rainy afternoon, when she found a weak gosling trembling under a tree — its wing broken by a stray cat. “I couldn’t leave it there,” Lila recalls. She named the gosling Dewdrop and spent weeks nursing it back to health: feeding it nutrient-rich goose feed, cleaning its wound daily, and teaching it to swim in a small basin. As Dewdrop grew stronger, Lila found joy she hadn’t felt in years. “That little goose gave me a reason to get up every morning,” she says. Soon, neighbors and passersby started bringing her injured wild geese — some with broken legs, others weakened by pollution or hunger. Lila dug into her old biology textbooks and searched online for goose care tips. A local vet even offered free advice to help her improve her nursing skills. Last year, a student posted a video of Lila feeding the geese on Instagram, and it quickly went viral with over 800,000 views. People from nearby areas began donating goose feed and medical supplies. Yet the wild geese still face great plight in the city. The wetlands they depend on are shrinking due to urban construction; stray animals and water pollution pose constant risks. But Lila never loses hope. She has started a small community group to plant native water plants and advocate for wetland protection. “Caring for these geese isn’t just about saving them,” she says. “It’s about reminding people that we share this city with all living things.” Every time a healed goose flies off to the wetlands, Lila stands on her balcony, watching proudly. For her, these geese are more than just rescued creatures — they are symbols of comfort, hope, and the power of small acts of kindness. 4. What can we learn about Dewdrop from the text? A. It stayed with Lila for eight years. B. It was the reason Lila retired from teaching. C. It helped Lila get out of loneliness. D. It became famous on social media for its story. 5. What does the underlined word “plight” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Difficulty. B. Noise. C. Competition. D. Change. 6. Which words best describe Lila according to the text? A. Kind-hearted and determined. B. Humorous and creative. C. Brave and ambitious. D. Honest and outgoing. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Lila and Wild Geese: Protection and Research B. Lila and Wild Geese: Rescue and Comfort C. Lila and Wild Geese: Friendship and Adventure D. Lila and Wild Geese: Survival and Success 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Lila救助野雁并得到慰藉的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Lila’s journey with wild geese began in 2015, two years after her husband passed away. She felt lost and lonely until one rainy afternoon, when she found a weak gosling trembling under a tree — its wing broken by a stray cat.(Lila与野雁的旅程始于2015年，也就是她丈夫去世两年后。她感到迷茫和孤独，直到一个下雨的下午，她发现一只虚弱的小雁在树下颤抖——它的翅膀被一只流浪猫折断了)”以及“As Dewdrop grew stronger, Lila found joy she hadn’t felt in years. “That little goose gave me a reason to get up every morning,” she says.(随着Dewdrop越来越强壮，Lila找到了她多年来未曾感受到的快乐。她说：“那只小雁给了我每天起床的理由。”)”可知，Dewdrop帮助Lila摆脱了孤独。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Yet the wild geese still face great plight in the city. The wetlands they depend on are shrinking due to urban construction; stray animals and water pollution pose constant risks. (然而，大雁在城市里仍然面临着巨大的plight。它们赖以生存的湿地因城市建设而不断缩小；流浪动物和水污染构成了持续的风险)”可知，野生大雁在城市中仍然面临着巨大的困境。plight的意思是“困境，困难”，与“difficulty”意思相近。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Lila Marquez gently places a tiny wild goose with an injured wing into a soft cotton box. (Lila Marquez轻轻地把一只翅膀受伤的小野雁放进一个柔软的棉盒里)”以及第四段“But Lila never loses hope. She has started a small community group to plant native water plants and advocate for wetland protection. (但Lila从未失去希望。她成立了一个小型社区团体，种植本地水生植物，倡导湿地保护)”可知，Lila是善良且坚定的。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段“For her, these geese are more than just rescued creatures — they are symbols of comfort, hope, and the power of small acts of kindness. (对她来说，这些大雁不仅仅是被救的生物——它们是安慰、希望和小善举力量的象征)”可知，本文主要讲述了Lila救助野生大雁并得到慰藉的故事，所以B选项“Lila与野生大雁：救援与慰藉”适合作为文章标题。故选B。 C Since its expansion in the early 2000s, Special Olympics Unified Sports has grown into a powerful platform that bridges gaps between students with and without disabilities. Beyond middle and high schools, the programme now includes elementary schools and community clubs, welcoming over 2.3 million participants across 170 countries. Unified Sports allows young athletes with intellectual or physical challenges to train, compete, and grow alongside non-disabled peer partners, breaking down barriers through shared sports experiences. Maplewood High School in Portland has offered Unified Sports for 12 years, with popular programmes in track and field and badminton. Coach Elena Mendez, who leads the track team, has witnessed remarkable changes in her athletes. “Unified Sports isn’t just about winning races,” she says. “It’s about teaching every athlete to believe in themselves. For many of our students with disabilities, this is the first time they’ve felt fully accepted as part of a team. They learn to set goals, support each other, and celebrate small victories — skills that stay with them long after graduation.” Unlike traditional team sports, Unified teams have no strict tryouts, and the focus is on inclusion rather than competition. Coach Jake Torres, who oversees the badminton programme, adds, “My priority is to make sure every athlete feels valued, whether they’re serving an ace or just learning to hold the racket. We practice ‘team cheers’ after every drill, and peer partners often stay after practice to help their teammates master new skills. It’s beautiful to see how both groups grow — disabled athletes gain confidence, and peer partners learn empathy.” Sophia Lin, a 10th-grader with visual impairment (视力受损), joined the Unified track team last year. “Before Unified Sports, I was scared to talk to classmates,” she shares. “Now, my teammates wait for me at the track every morning, and we practice running together. I won a bronze medal in the 100-meter dash last semester, but the best part is making friends who don’t see my disability — they see me.” Her peer partner, Liam Carter, agrees: “Working with Sophia taught me that strength comes in many forms. We’re not just teammates; we’re family.” Today, Maplewood’s Unified teams regularly compete in regional tournaments, and their success has inspired three nearby schools to launch similar programmes. “Unified Sports isn’t just a sports programme,” says Principal Amanda Reed. “It’s a lesson in humanity — one that shows our students the power of kindness, respect, and inclusion.” 8. What do we know about Special Olympics Unified Sports from Paragraph 1? A. It started in elementary schools in the 2000s. B. It has attracted over 2.3 million participants worldwide. C. It only allows disabled athletes to join competition teams. D. It separates disabled and non-disabled students during training. 9. What is Elena Mendez’s view on Unified Sports? A. It focuses more on winning than personal growth. B. It mainly teaches athletes to set high goals. C. It is less meaningful than traditional varsity sports. D. It helps disabled athletes build life-long skills. 10. What does Jake Torres value most as a coach? A. Helping athletes win regional tournaments. B. Training peer partners to be professional coaches. C. Ensuring every athlete feels respected and valued. D. Making tryouts accessible for all interested students. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. Unified Sports promotes inclusion and growth for all students. B. Maplewood High School’s Unified teams win regional fame. C. Peer partners benefit more from Unified Sports than disabled athletes. D. Special Olympics Unified Sports expands to community clubs. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍自21世纪初扩张以来，特奥会融合运动发展成为强大平台，打破残疾与非残疾学生之间的隔阂，文中以波特兰枫叶木高中为例，阐述其开展情况及带来的积极影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Beyond middle and high schools, the programme now includes elementary schools and community clubs, welcoming over 2.3 million participants across 170 countries.(除了初中和高中，该项目现在还包括小学和社区俱乐部，吸引了170个国家的超过230万参与者)”可知，特奥会融合运动在全球吸引了超过230万参与者，故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Unified Sports isn’t just about winning races,” she says. “It’s about teaching every athlete to believe in themselves. For many of our students with disabilities, this is the first time they’ve felt fully accepted as part of a team. They learn to set goals, support each other, and celebrate small victories—skills that stay with them long after graduation.”(她说：“融合运动会不只是为了赢得比赛。它的意义在于教会每一位运动员相信自己。对于我们许多残障学生来说，这是他们第一次真正被团队完全接纳。他们学会设定目标、互相支持、为小小的胜利喝彩——这些技能在他们毕业之后，仍会伴随他们很久”)”可知，她认为融合运动帮助残疾运动员培养终身受用的技能，故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“My priority is to make sure every athlete feels valued, whether they’re serving an ace or just learning to hold the racket.(我最优先考虑的是确保每个运动员都感到被重视，无论他们是在发出一记好球还是刚刚学习握球拍)”可知，他最看重确保每个运动员都感到被尊重和重视，故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Today, Maplewood’s Unified teams regularly compete in regional tournaments, and their success has inspired three nearby schools to launch similar programmes. “Unified Sports isn’t just a sports programme,” says Principal Amanda Reed. “It’s a lesson in humanity — one that shows our students the power of kindness, respect, and inclusion.”(如今，梅普尔伍德的融合运动队定期参加地区锦标赛，他们的成功也激励了附近三所学校推出类似项目。“融合运动不只是一个体育项目，” 阿曼达・里德校长说，“它是一堂关于人性的课——让学生们感受到善良、尊重与包容的力量”)”可知，文章开篇介绍特奥会融合运动打破残疾与非残疾学生隔阂，接着以枫叶木高中为例，阐述其开展情况及对学生在自我认同、团队协作等方面的积极影响，最后强调它是关于人性的一课，展示了善良、尊重和包容的力量，所以文章主要讲述融合运动促进所有学生的包容与成长，故选A项。 D People often grumble that plastics are too durable. Water bottles, shopping bags, and other trash litter the planet because plastics are everywhere and don’t break down easily. But some plastic materials change over time. They crack and melt into sludge, all of which creates huge headaches for institutions, such as museums, trying to preserve culturally important objects. Until recently, museums only have to worry about traditional materials. “We know how to approach the restoration of paintings, books, and materials like wood, metals, and glass,” says Anna Laganà, a research specialist at the Getty Conservation Institute. “But for plastics, our knowledge is still limited.” Tonkin, now a doctoral researcher in fashion conservation at Nottingham Trent University, agrees. “We’re now trying to figure out how to conserve plastics,” she says. Nearly every museum in the world has plastic items, and even well-cared-for objects can fall apart alarmingly quickly. Museums are doing everything they can to save culturally important items from similar fates. But preservation of plastics will likely get harder. Old objects continue to decline. Worse, biodegradable plastics, designed to fall apart easily, are increasingly common. We now live in an age of plastic, and what we decide to collect today, and what we decide to preserve, will have a strong impact on how we’ll be seen in the future. Future archaeologists looking at what’s left from the 21st century will probably find lots of poisonous waste, along with plenty of plastic trash. But if museum preservation efforts succeed, maybe those scholars will also see that plastic items today can be culturally meaningful – and even cherished. 12. What are two totally different features of plastics mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Popular but rarely recycled. B. Harmless to nature but harmful to humans. C. Easy to make but hard to clean. D. Some long-lasting but others easy-to-degrade. 13. What can we infer from Anna Laganà and Tonkin’s words? A. Museums lack expertise in plastic preservation. B. Traditional restoration makes plastic conservation needless. C. Plastic conservation in fashion is completely solved. D. The Getty Institute leads plastic preservation research. 14. What is the main role of Paragraph 3? A. Explain why plastic preservation is harder than traditional ones. B. List ways museums protect plastic cultural objects. C. Show plastic items are common in global museums. D. Stress the growing challenges of plastic preservation. 15. Where can this passage be found? A. In a travel brochure. B. In a fashion magazine. C. In a science report. D. In a science fiction book. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了塑料材料的两种不同特性、博物馆在保护塑料文物时遇到的困难与挑战，以及塑料文物保护对未来研究的重要意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“People often grumble that plastics are too durable.(人们经常抱怨塑料太耐用。)”及“But some plastic materials change over time. They crack and melt into sludge, all of which creates huge headaches for institutions, such as museums, trying to preserve culturally important objects.(但有些塑料材料会随着时间发生变化。它们会开裂、融化成烂泥，这一切都给那些试图保护具有重要文化意义物品的机构（如博物馆）带来了巨大的麻烦。)”可知，塑料的两种截然不同特性是：一些经久耐用，而另一些则容易降解。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第二段““We know how to approach the restoration of paintings, books, and materials like wood, metals, and glass,” says Anna Laganà, a research specialist at the Getty Conservation Institute. “But for plastics, our knowledge is still limited.” Tonkin, now a doctoral researcher in fashion conservation at Nottingham Trent University, agrees. “We’re now trying to figure out how to conserve plastics,” she says.(盖蒂保护研究所的研究专家Anna Laganà说：“我们知道如何修复油画、书籍以及木材、金属和玻璃这类材料。”“但对于塑料，我们的知识仍然有限。”现任诺丁汉特伦特大学时尚保护专业博士研究员的Tonkin对此表示赞同。她说：“我们现在正试图弄清楚如何保护塑料制品。”)”可知，博物馆在塑料保护方面缺乏专业知识。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第三段中“But preservation of plastics will likely get harder. Old objects continue to decline. Worse, biodegradable plastics, designed to fall apart easily, are increasingly common.(但塑料制品的保护工作可能会变得更加困难。老旧物品会不断损坏。更糟的是，为易于分解而设计的可生物降解塑料正变得越来越普遍。)”可知，第三段主要强调塑料保护面临日益严峻的挑战。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“But some plastic materials change over time. They crack and melt into sludge, all of which creates huge headaches for institutions, such as museums, trying to preserve culturally important objects.(但有些塑料材料会随着时间发生变化。它们会开裂、融化成烂泥，这一切都给那些试图保护具有重要文化意义物品的机构（如博物馆）带来了巨大的麻烦。)”及最后一段“But if museum preservation efforts succeed, maybe those scholars will also see that plastic items today can be culturally meaningful – and even cherished.(但如果博物馆的保护工作取得成功，或许这些学者们也会认识到，如今的塑料制品也可以具有文化意义 —— 甚至值得被珍视。)”及全文内容可知，文章围绕塑料特性、文物保护、科学研究展开，属于科普类内容。因此这篇文章最可能出现在科学报告中。故选C。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Make Small Talk Sometimes, people say that small talk is awkward and shallow. But if you do it successfully, the other person will focus on the more interesting parts of your conversation rather than the small talk itself. ____16____. ●Devices down The first step to making small talk is to put your devices away. This is a small but meaningful gesture in a world that’s totally connected over a digital network. ____17____, and you’re not waiting for something to break your attention. ●Listen first In social situations, one way to show you’re offering your full attention is to listen in an engaged way. When you’re listening, show you’re paying attention by practicing nonverbal (非语言的) cues like nodding and making eye contact with the speaker. It’s also a good active listening practice to repeat what someone just told you. For example, if someone tells you, “Wow, I haven’t seen you in three years,” repeat back, “Three years? Has it been that long?” ____18____. ●Ask open questions ____19____. For example “How have things been?” is a better question than “Have you been alright?” The latter requires a simple yes or no response, while the former draws out information in a conversational way. ●____20____ When someone tells you something in a small talk conversation, respond enthusiastically. Your positivity shows you’re paying attention and also makes them feel valued and respected. This is good for building a relationship with someone you don’t know very well. A. Be open-minded B. Respond enthusiastically C. This shows you’re actively listening D. You view these conversations as opportunities to learn E. Here are four tips that will help you make small talk in any situation F. When you ask about the person you’re speaking to, ask open-ended questions G. Putting your phone, tablet or laptop away shows your focus is completely on the person you’re talking to 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. F 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。闲聊被认为是尴尬的和肤浅的，但是你做的成功的话它就不一样了，闲聊也是需要技巧的。 【16题详解】 上文“But if you do it successfully, the other person will focus on the more interesting parts of your conversation rather than the small talk itself.(但如果你成功地做到了这一点，对方就会把注意力集中在你们谈话中更有趣的部分，而不是闲聊本身)”提到，你把闲聊做的成功的话，对方关注的是你谈话中的有趣部分而不是闲聊本身，下文又给出了几种做法，所以本题选择承上启下的句子。E项“这里有四个技巧可以帮助你在任何情况下进行闲聊”符合语境，故选E。 【17题详解】 根据本段标题“Devices down(放下设备)”，本段主要讲的是放下电子设备，G项“把手机、平板电脑或笔记本电脑放在一边，表明你的注意力完全集中在与你交谈的人身上”符合语境。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据本段标题“Listen first(首先倾听)”，本段主要讲的是倾听。空前的例子“For example, if someone tells you, ‘Wow, I haven’t seen you in three years,’ repeat back, ‘Three years? Has it been that long?’(例如，如果有人告诉你，‘哇，我有三年没见过你了，’你重复说，‘三年？有那么久了吗？’)”可以看出你对别人的问题作出及时的回答，说明你在积极倾听。C项“这表明你在积极倾听”符合语境，故选C。 【19题详解】 根据本段标题“Ask open questions(问问题)”可知，本段主要讲的是问一些开放性的问题，F项“当你询问对方的情况时，问一些开放式的问题”符合语境，下文例子中也给出了一些开放性的问题。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据下文“When someone tells you something in a small talk conversation, respond enthusiastically. Your positivity shows you’re paying attention and also makes them feel valued and respected.(当有人在闲聊中告诉你一些事情时，要热情地回应。你的积极态度表明你在关注他们，也让他们感到被重视和尊重)”可知，整个段落都在讲积极回应的好处。B项“热情的回应”符合语境，故选B。 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 It was hard to say goodbye to the old oak tree in our backyard. She was already ____21____ when my grandparents settled here 60 years ago — gnarled (多节的) but strong, standing tall as a silent guardian over the garden. We have a faded ____22____ of my mother playing under her branches as a child, the tree’s leaves ____23____ as if saying hello to her. That oak had a distinct ____24____. Her trunk bent slightly to the east, as if reaching for the morning sun, and her branches spread wide enough to cover the entire yard. Kids in the neighborhood loved climbing her thick limbs; birds built nests in her ____25____, and fireflies danced in her leaves at dusk. She was more than a tree — she was part of our family. But time took its toll. We watched her ____26____ weaken over the years. The leaves turned yellow earlier each autumn, and some branches dried up and broke off in storms. Even the squirrels, who once stored acorns in her bark, started ____27____. My grandfather sighed, “She’s lived a good life, but it’s getting ____28____to have her so close to the house.” When a heavy branch crashed onto the fence last winter, we knew we had to call in experts to ____29____ her. I couldn’t bear the thought of her ____30____ completely. Friends ____31____ me to carve her wood into keepsakes — wooden flutes, photo frames, or even a small bench. At first, I hesitated, but then I ____32____ their suggestion. Now, instead of looking up at her towering form, I can ____33____ pieces of her in my hands. The photo frame holding my mother’s childhood picture is ____34____ to the touch, carrying the warmth of the sun she once soaked up. The wooden flute, when played, hums a soft tune that feels like a ____35____ of her rustling leaves. The old oak is gone, but her memory lives on — in our hearts and in the things she’s become. 21.

Currently, many of us have poor English handwriting, with messy strokes and irregular letter shapes, which not only affects the neatness of our homework and exams but also leaves a bad impression on teachers. To improve our English handwriting, I suggest we start from the following aspects. First of all, we need to develop a correct writing posture and grip the pen properly, which is the foundation of good handwriting. Secondly, we should practice regularly. We can start with simple letters and words, and then gradually move on to sentences and paragraphs. Moreover, we should pay attention to the details in writing, such as the slant, spacing and size of letters. In conclusion, improving English handwriting requires our persistence and patience. Let's take action right now. Thank you! Possible version2: How to Improve English Handwriting Dear teachers and fellow students. It's my great honor to deliver a speech here. Nowadays, many students have poor English handwriting and ignore the importance of English handwriting, leading to messy and unrecognizable work. This not only affects communication but also leaves a poor impression in exams. To address this issue, here are my suggestions. First, practice basic letter forms daily. Spend 10 minutes tracing standard alphabets to build muscle memory. Second, slow down when writing. Rushing often results in uneven strokes, so focus on consistency. Additionally, observing and imitating beautiful handwriting samples can inspire improvement. Remember, neat handwriting reflects discipline and boosts confidence in exams. Let's take action now! With patience and persistence, we can all achieve clear and elegant English handwriting.

My dad finally decided to take me on a special trip to Inner Mongolia that day, which made me excited. We took a plane to Hohhot, the provincial capital of Inner Mongolia. The moment we got off the plane in the late afternoon, we saw Uncle Zhang, a farmer whose house we had booked, welcoming us over there. He picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm. His wife, Aunt Liu cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his family. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the birds singing in the grasslands. Very early in the morning, Uncle Zhang woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, my dad began to ride horses with Uncle Zhang. In the afternoon, Uncle Zhang wondered if I would take a horse ride. I said I would if my dad accompanied me. So, my dad and I got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the distance. Soon after, Uncle Zhang’s farm was out of sight behind. After a long period, we stopped our horses, and began to enjoy the beautiful green grassland ahead. The cool wind was slightly blowing our face. Once in a while we could still hear some birds sing in the woods nearby. It was so peaceful and quiet. I had never been so relaxed before. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为100左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. This unexpected appearance frightened my horse, which made it run wildly. I tried my best to control it, but in vain. Frightened as I was, I tried to keep my balance to prevent me from falling off. Fortunately, minutes later, the horse stopped before a river, out of breath, and so did I. At that moment, my dad also came up. Seeing I was OK, he was quite relieved. But it was clear that we got lost.     We had no idea where we were and it got dark. We didn’t know where the farm house was. What we could do was to go back along the previous track slowly. But it was really difficult for us in such a dark situation. Just as we were at the point of desperation, we heard a faint voice from the distance. “It must be Uncle Zhang,” I said. So we cried back with excitement. Finally, Uncle Zhang safely brought us back home.

B Lila Marquez gently places a tiny wild goose with an injured wing into a soft cotton box. “Take it easy, little Dewdrop,” she whispers, adjusting the warm lamp above the box. For the past eight years, the retired biology teacher’s balcony in Buenos Aires has been a safe haven for injured or abandoned wild geese. With her careful care, more than 200 geese have regained strength and returned to the nearby wetlands. Lila’s journey with wild geese began in 2015, two years after her husband passed away. She felt lost and lonely until one rainy afternoon, when she found a weak gosling trembling under a tree — its wing broken by a stray cat. “I couldn’t leave it there,” Lila recalls. She named the gosling Dewdrop and spent weeks nursing it back to health: feeding it nutrient-rich goose feed, cleaning its wound daily, and teaching it to swim in a small basin. As Dewdrop grew stronger, Lila found joy she hadn’t felt in years. “That little goose gave me a reason to get up every morning,” she says. Soon, neighbors and passersby started bringing her injured wild geese — some with broken legs, others weakened by pollution or hunger. Lila dug into her old biology textbooks and searched online for goose care tips. A local vet even offered free advice to help her improve her nursing skills. Last year, a student posted a video of Lila feeding the geese on Instagram, and it quickly went viral with over 800,000 views. People from nearby areas began donating goose feed and medical supplies. Yet the wild geese still face great plight in the city. The wetlands they depend on are shrinking due to urban construction; stray animals and water pollution pose constant risks. But Lila never loses hope. She has started a small community group to plant native water plants and advocate for wetland protection. “Caring for these geese isn’t just about saving them,” she says. “It’s about reminding people that we share this city with all living things.” Every time a healed goose flies off to the wetlands, Lila stands on her balcony, watching proudly. For her, these geese are more than just rescued creatures — they are symbols of comfort, hope, and the power of small acts of kindness. 4. What can we learn about Dewdrop from the text? A. It stayed with Lila for eight years. B. It was the reason Lila retired from teaching. C. It helped Lila get out of loneliness. D. It became famous on social media for its story. 5. What does the underlined word “plight” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Difficulty. B. Noise. C. Competition. D. Change. 6. Which words best describe Lila according to the text? A. Kind-hearted and determined. B. Humorous and creative. C. Brave and ambitious. D. Honest and outgoing. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Lila and Wild Geese: Protection and Research B. Lila and Wild Geese: Rescue and Comfort C. Lila and Wild Geese: Friendship and Adventure D. Lila and Wild Geese: Survival and Success C Since its expansion in the early 2000s, Special Olympics Unified Sports has grown into a powerful platform that bridges gaps between students with and without disabilities. Beyond middle and high schools, the programme now includes elementary schools and community clubs, welcoming over 2.3 million participants across 170 countries. Unified Sports allows young athletes with intellectual or physical challenges to train, compete, and grow alongside non-disabled peer partners, breaking down barriers through shared sports experiences. Maplewood High School in Portland has offered Unified Sports for 12 years, with popular programmes in track and field and badminton. Coach Elena Mendez, who leads the track team, has witnessed remarkable changes in her athletes. “Unified Sports isn’t just about winning races,” she says. “It’s about teaching every athlete to believe in themselves. For many of our students with disabilities, this is the first time they’ve felt fully accepted as part of a team. They learn to set goals, support each other, and celebrate small victories — skills that stay with them long after graduation.” Unlike traditional team sports, Unified teams have no strict tryouts, and the focus is on inclusion rather than competition. Coach Jake Torres, who oversees the badminton programme, adds, “My priority is to make sure every athlete feels valued, whether they’re serving an ace or just learning to hold the racket. We practice ‘team cheers’ after every drill, and peer partners often stay after practice to help their teammates master new skills. It’s beautiful to see how both groups grow — disabled athletes gain confidence, and peer partners learn empathy.” Sophia Lin, a 10th-grader with visual impairment (视力受损), joined the Unified track team last year. “Before Unified Sports, I was scared to talk to classmates,” she shares. “Now, my teammates wait for me at the track every morning, and we practice running together. I won a bronze medal in the 100-meter dash last semester, but the best part is making friends who don’t see my disability — they see me.” Her peer partner, Liam Carter, agrees: “Working with Sophia taught me that strength comes in many forms. We’re not just teammates; we’re family.” Today, Maplewood’s Unified teams regularly compete in regional tournaments, and their success has inspired three nearby schools to launch similar programmes. “Unified Sports isn’t just a sports programme,” says Principal Amanda Reed. “It’s a lesson in humanity — one that shows our students the power of kindness, respect, and inclusion.” 8. What do we know about Special Olympics Unified Sports from Paragraph 1? A. It started in elementary schools in the 2000s. B. It has attracted over 2.3 million participants worldwide. C. It only allows disabled athletes to join competition teams. D. It separates disabled and non-disabled students during training. 9. What is Elena Mendez’s view on Unified Sports? A. It focuses more on winning than personal growth. B. It mainly teaches athletes to set high goals. C. It is less meaningful than traditional varsity sports. D. It helps disabled athletes build life-long skills. 10. What does Jake Torres value most as a coach? A. Helping athletes win regional tournaments. B. Training peer partners to be professional coaches. C. Ensuring every athlete feels respected and valued. D. Making tryouts accessible for all interested students. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. Unified Sports promotes inclusion and growth for all students. B. Maplewood High School’s Unified teams win regional fame. C. Peer partners benefit more from Unified Sports than disabled athletes. D. Special Olympics Unified Sports expands to community clubs. D People often grumble that plastics are too durable. Water bottles, shopping bags, and other trash litter the planet because plastics are everywhere and don’t break down easily. But some plastic materials change over time. They crack and melt into sludge, all of which creates huge headaches for institutions, such as museums, trying to preserve culturally important objects. Until recently, museums only have to worry about traditional materials. “We know how to approach the restoration of paintings, books, and materials like wood, metals, and glass,” says Anna Laganà, a research specialist at the Getty Conservation Institute. “But for plastics, our knowledge is still limited.” Tonkin, now a doctoral researcher in fashion conservation at Nottingham Trent University, agrees. “We’re now trying to figure out how to conserve plastics,” she says. Nearly every museum in the world has plastic items, and even well-cared-for objects can fall apart alarmingly quickly. Museums are doing everything they can to save culturally important items from similar fates. But preservation of plastics will likely get harder. Old objects continue to decline. Worse, biodegradable plastics, designed to fall apart easily, are increasingly common. We now live in an age of plastic, and what we decide to collect today, and what we decide to preserve, will have a strong impact on how we’ll be seen in the future. Future archaeologists looking at what’s left from the 21st century will probably find lots of poisonous waste, along with plenty of plastic trash.

My dad finally decided to take me on a special trip to Inner Mongolia that day, which made me excited. We took a plane to Hohhot, the provincial capital of Inner Mongolia. The moment we got off the plane in the late afternoon, we saw Uncle Zhang, a farmer whose house we had booked, welcoming us over there. He picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm. His wife, Aunt Liu cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his family. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the birds singing in the grasslands. Very early in the morning, Uncle Zhang woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, my dad began to ride horses with Uncle Zhang. In the afternoon, Uncle Zhang wondered if I would take a horse ride. I said I would if my dad accompanied me. So, my dad and I got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the distance. Soon after, Uncle Zhang’s farm was out of sight behind. After a long period, we stopped our horses, and began to enjoy the beautiful green grassland ahead. The cool wind was slightly blowing our face. Once in a while we could still hear some birds sing in the woods nearby. It was so peaceful and quiet. I had never been so relaxed before. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为100左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
