Years later, another 3M scientist, Art Fry, was frustrated. The bookmarks in his church hymnal (赞美诗集) kept falling out. He remembered Silver’s “useless” glue and had an idea. He coated small pieces of paper with it, creating notes that could stick to pages without damaging them. Fry saw the _18_ and started handing samples to colleagues. 19 , the product wasn’t an immediate success. The marketing team had to figure out how to sell it. They gave away thousands of samples in offices. Once people tried them, they loved the convenience. The “Post-it Note” was born.

The story of their invention is a classic example of innovation (创新). A product born from a perceived “failure” and a personal problem solved a common _22_ for millions. It shows that creativity often comes from connecting unexpected ideas. The next time you use a post-it note, remember: a great invention doesn’t have to come from a perfect plan. Sometimes, the best ideas are _23_ the happy accidents.

Some people argue that it should be a required subject for all students, just like math or language. Others believe it should remain an elective (选修的). Let's look at both sides. Ms. Alice Zhang, a software engineer In today's world, understanding how technology works is as _45_ as reading and writing. Coding teaches logical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. It's not just about becoming a programmer. When students learn to code, they learn to break down big problems into smaller steps. This skill is useful in _46_ field, from science to art. Making coding a required subject ensures that every student, regardless of their future job, has a basic understanding of the digital world that shapes our lives. It's about _47_ them for the future. Mr. Ben Carter, a high school art teacher While coding is valuable, not every student has an interest or talent for it. The school curriculum is already packed. Adding another required subject could take time away from other _48_ areas like music, art, or physical education, which are also vital for a child’s development. We should encourage coding as an exciting elective, not force it on everyone. This way, students who are _49_ can dive deep, while others can explore different passions. Education should be about providing choices, not limiting them. Finding a balance Perhaps the solution lies in integrating (融入) basic computational thinking into existing subjects, rather than making it a separate required course. For example, math lessons can include simple logic puzzles, and science projects can involve basic data analysis. This gives all students exposure to the core concepts without overloading the timetable. _50_ , offering advanced coding as an elective allows interested students to pursue it further. The goal is digital literacy for all, with advanced skills for those who want them. 45.A.difficult B.basic C.boring D.new 46.A.any B.some C.each D.other 47.A.praising B.preparing C.protecting D.punishing 48.A.academic B.popular C.important D.difficult 49.A.interested B.worried C.surprised D.tired 50.A.After all B.For instance C.Meanwhile D.In addition C.

For many people, it might be a bowl of chicken soup, chocolate, or mashed potatoes. But why do we turn to these foods for emotional comfort? The connection between food and emotion often starts in childhood. When we were young and f _51_ sick or upset, our parents might have given us our favourite treats. Over time, our brains link these foods with feelings of safety, love, and care. Eating them as adults can bring back those warm memories and make us feel better. There's also a biological reason. Many comfort foods are high in carbohydrates (碳水化合物) or sugar. Eating them can cause a temporary increase in serotonin (血清素), a brain chemical that makes us feel calm and happy. Fatty foods can have a s _52_ effect, making us feel full and satisfied. However, r 53 too heavily on food to manage emotions can lead to unhealthy eating habits and weight gain. It's important to find other ways to cope with stress or sadness. One h _54_ way is to be mindful when you eat. Instead of eating straight from a large package, put a reasonable amount on a plate. Eat slowly, and pay attention to the taste and texture. This can help you enjoy the food more and prevent overeating. Another strategy is to f _55_ other activities that bring you comfort and joy without involving food. For example, you could call a friend, take a warm bath, listen to music, or go for a walk. These activities can improve your mood without any negative side effects. Remember, it's perfectly okay to enjoy your comfort food o _56_ in a while. The key is balance. Don't use food as your only tool for dealing with difficult emotions. By having a “toolbox” of different coping strategies, you can take better care of both your physical and m _57_ health. D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12 分) Most people know that bees make honey. But did you know that honey never spoils (变质)? Archaeologists (考古学家) have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old—and still perfectly good to eat! How is this possible? Honey’s long shelf life comes from its unique chemical makeup. Bees make honey from flower nectar (花蜜). They collect the nectar and then repeatedly swallow and regurgitate (反刍) it inside the hive. During this process, enzymes (酶) from the bees' stomachs break down the complex sugars in the nectar into simpler sugars. The bees also fan their wings to evaporate (使蒸发) water from the nectar. What’s left is a thick, sweet liquid that is about 80% sugar and only 17% water. This high sugar content and low water content are the main secrets. Bacteria and other microorganisms (微生物) that cause food to spoil need water to grow. In honey, there is so little water available that these organisms cannot survive. Honey is also naturally acidic, which creates an unfriendly environment for many bacteria. Some types of honey, like Manuka honey from New Zealand, have even stronger antibacterial (抗菌的) properties. This is because of special compounds (化合物) that come from the Manuka bush. Hospitals sometimes use medical-grade Manuka honey on wounds to prevent infection and promote healing. To keep your honey fresh, store it in a sealed container at room temperature. If it crystallizes (结晶) and becomes solid, don't worry! This is natural. Just place the closed jar in warm water, and it will return to its liquid form. Never store honey in the refrigerator, as the cold speeds up crystallization. So next time you enjoy a spoonful of honey, remember that you are tasting a remarkable food—one that is not only delicious but also a timeless wonder of nature. 58.What amazing fact about honey is mentioned at the beginning of the passage? 59.What are the two main reasons that give honey its incredibly long shelf life? 60.Why can't bacteria grow well in honey? 61.What is special about Manuka honey and how is it sometimes used? 62.What should you do if your honey crystallizes according to the passage? 63.Besides its long shelf life, what other benefits of honey do you know? Please list one and explain briefly. .Writing (作文) (本大题共 1 题,共 25分) 64.近日,你校英文报发起了题为“The Most Valuable Lesson I Learned Outside the Classroom”的征文活动。请你结合自身的一次真实经历(例如:一次志愿服务、一次旅行、一次失败、一次家庭活动等),用英语写一篇短文投稿。 内容需包括: 简要叙述这次经历。 你从中学到了什么宝贵的道理或品质。 这次学习和成长对你产生了怎样的影响。 注意: 词数不少于60词。 文中不得出现真实姓名、校名等个人信息,否则不予评分。 照抄阅读语篇不得分。 The Most Valuable Lesson I Learned Outside the Classroom _ 参考答案与解析 Part 1 Grammar and Vocabulary (第一部分 语法和词汇) I.

Writing (作文) (此为范文示例,供参考) The Most Valuable Lesson I Learned Outside the Classroom The most valuable lesson I learned came from a volunteering experience at a community library last summer. My task was to help organize books and assist elderly visitors with using computers. At first, I thought it would be simple. However, I soon realized that many elderly people felt nervous about technology. One day, an old man wanted to send an email to his grandson overseas but didn’t know how to start. I patiently showed him each step, from turning on the computer to clicking “send”. His smile of gratitude and the words “Thank you, young man, for your patience” deeply touched me. From this experience, I learned the true meaning of empathy and patience. It’s not just about knowing how to do something; it’s about understanding others’ difficulties and being willing to help at their pace. This lesson has changed me. Now, whether at home or school, I try to listen more and help others with kindness and patience. I understand that the greatest satisfaction often comes from making a positive difference in someone else’s life, no matter how small the act seems. 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $
