Let’s check out several excellent red-themed practice platforms that can bring revolutionary history and spirit to life for your child’s school learning experience. Revolutionary History Virtual Museums To make revolutionary history accessible and engaging, the National Museum of China has launched a series of virtual red-themed museums. These online exhibitions feature 3D interactive views of historic sites, interactive timelines of major revolutionary events, and audio stories of revolutionary martyrs. Students can “visit” iconic sites like the Nanhu Red Boat and the Zunyi Meeting Site from home, and learn about the struggles and sacrifices of the older generation. Red Culture Storytelling Competitions Organized by the Communist Youth League of China, this annual competition encourages students to explore local red history, collect stories of revolutionary heroes, and present them in creative forms like speeches, short plays, or short videos. Open to students from primary to high school, it also provides free training workshops on historical research and public speaking for all participants. Red-themed Social Practice Camps Run by local education authorities and red culture research institutions, these offline camps take students to real revolutionary memorial sites, old revolutionary base areas, and memorial halls. During the 3-5 day camps, students can take part in hands-on activities like experiencing wartime life, making military supplies, and interviewing veterans. The camps also include group discussions to help students truly understand the red spirit. Red Spirit Lecture Series This online lecture series invites historians, veterans, and descendants of revolutionary martyrs to share their insights and personal stories. Each lecture focuses on a specific red spirit, such as the Long March Spirit, the Yan’an Spirit, and the Two Bombs, One Satellite Spirit. The lectures are recorded and available on the official education platform, allowing students to watch at their own pace and join live Q&A sessions. 21. What is available in the virtual museums? A. Offline hands-on activities. B. Annual creative competitions. C. 3D interactive site views. D. Live veteran interviews. 22. What do the camps and lectures share? A. They involve veterans. B. They require creative works. C. They hold offline discussions. D. They are fully online. 23. Where is the text probably from? A. A history research journal. B. An education magazine. C. A local government report. D. A literary story collection. B There’s a wrapper half-sunk in the mud under the bush. Each time I grab it with my litter-picker, another piece tears off. I persist, until all the pieces are in my bin liner. Then I move on. I’m volunteering with a group at my local park. They perform a range of tasks, but today we’re litter-picking. When our bags are full, we gather for a break, in our yellow vests (马甲). I arrived this morning feeling depressed, but this simple, repetitive and collective act has comforted me and pulled me away from the doom scroll of my mind. It’s easy to assume that the best way to lift your spirits when you’re feeling down is to do something nice for yourself. However, research suggests that altruistic (利他的) acts work better. I did not know this when I signed up with the conservation group. What I did know was that I was feeling deeply upset about the ecological and climate crises. It was the counsellor (咨询师) I was seeing who switched me on to the idea of volunteering. He gave me three rules: make it simple, immediate and cooperative. That’s how, a week later, I found myself in a park fishing old carrier bags out of the river. Psychologists call the mental boost from volunteering the “helper’s high”. And I did feel that lift, which soon led me to sign up to volunteer at other places. Every time I volunteered, I would come home feeling better — lifted by the fresh air, the natural environment and the companion — and, perhaps most of all, by having acted in line with my values. I didn’t mind if the tasks were exhausting or repetitive. I was taking action, learning new skills, and feeling part of something meaningful. That’s not to say I didn’t — and still don’t — sometimes wonder: Are we really making a difference here? But I remind myself of my counsellor’s advice that I should not be discouraged by people saying that my actions were only a drop in the ocean, since an ocean is made up of millions upon millions of drops. While it was my total despair with the environment that led me into volunteering, it’s the goodness and kindness that I’ve witnessed while working alongside my fellow volunteers that have kept me coming. And I think yellow is my color. 24. How did the author feel after litter-picking in the park? A. Bored. B. Rewarded. C. Engaged. D. Depressed. 25. The author started volunteering because of ______. A. an insightful litter-picking experience B. his own confusion about life values C. the inspiration of a counsellor D. his desire to improve cooperative skills 26. What was the major insight the author gained from the volunteering? A. Climate crisis needs an immediate solution. B. Helping others has a positive impact on one’s career. C. People need stronger ties with local communities. D. Individual goodness brings about a great power. 27. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ______. A. values the warmheartedness of local people B. believes the color will help her stay positive C. feels a stronger connection to the volunteer role D. sees the color as a warning sign of environment C For decades, scientists have monitored only a narrow range of chemical pollutants in the environment. Yet the modern world contains thousands of industrial compounds, from industrial coatings to household cleaners, and most have never been systematically tested for safety. To discover what else might be hidden in nature, researchers are turning to some unexpected assistants: sea lions, condors (加州秃鹰), alligators (短吻鳄) and other animals. These creatures act as “sentinel species,” meaning they can offer insight into the invisible chemistry of their surroundings. Because they live long lives and occupy the top of food webs, pollutants tend to build up in their tissues. By studying their blood, feathers, or organs, scientists can detect not only familiar pollutants such as PCBs and flame retardants but also entirely new chemical families that had previously gone unnoticed. A technique known as non-targeted analysis allows researchers to search for all chemical compounds within an animal sample rather than searching for one pollutant at a time. Using this open-ended method, teams have identified hundreds of chemicals in wild animals — many came from industrial products, plastics, and household cleaners. Each finding helps map how modern pollutants travel through air, water, and food chains. In California, condors that feed on marine carcasses carry signs of chemicals transported from the ocean. Alligators in Florida reveal pollutants leaking from factories and wastewater systems. These results serve as a warning: pollution is not limited to cities or industrial zones but spreads across ecosystems and species, including humans. Scientists argue that this broader approach could reshape how environmental monitoring is done. Rather than reacting to one chemical crisis after another, researchers can now build a comprehensive picture of ecological health. As one biologist said, “When wildlife tells us something is wrong, it’s not just about them — it’s about the planet we share.” The message is both scientific and moral: protecting nature’s warning species means protecting ourselves. 28. What does the underlined phrase “sentinel species” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Chemical producers. B. Waste collectors. C. Pollutant indicators. D. Household cleaners. 29. Why does the author mention condors and alligators in paragraph 4? A. To compare their dietary patterns in the wild. B. To emphasize pollutants can travel through varied ecosystems. C. To explain the link between diet and chemical exposure. D. To prove harmful substances differ in various regions. 30. What can be inferred about the broader approach in the last paragraph? A. It helps resolve environmental crises effectively. B. It replaces the existing pollution monitoring methods. C. It provides an integrated view of environmental problems. D. It judges wildlife’s living conditions through human behavior. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How Animals Help Scientists Track Down Pollutants B. How Animals Accumulate Industrial Pollutants C. How Humans Benefit from Wildlife Monitoring D. How Humans Protect the Warning Species D The American poet Robert Frost famously said, “No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.” It takes courage to tell our real-life stories well, because we can only do it if we are willing to feel the feelings again in all their original intensity. My agent’s reaction to the first version of my novel, Drift, was that it felt curiously unaffecting, given that it describes the heartbreaking loss of a child. I explained I had done that deliberately — the main character was numbing out her emotions. But in rewriting, I realized that in my real life the numbing was a coping mechanism that came later, and I had to allow myself to feel again the overwhelming grief, shock, and guilt of the moment to tell the story truthfully, making it more powerful and authentic for the reader and of course, more challenging for my writing. On the positive side, this doesn’t only apply to difficult emotions. We might equally say no joy in the writer, no joy in the reader. When we write about positive experiences, to do it effectively, we need to feel those pleasurable emotions intensely too. Writing with emotion is a sensory experience; we have to remember with our whole body. Emotions are called “feelings” because they are physical experiences. Describing the physical effects of emotion is part of show-and-don’t-tell. “Amber was nervous about being late” tells us how she felt. “Amber’s heart was racing; she was going to be late.” shows us. When we describe emotions through physical sensations, our reader will experience them in their own body. So, be ready to dive back into the full power of the past when you tell your real-life stories. If you’re telling a joyful story, enjoy; if you’re telling a tearful one, let the tears fall. Then remind yourself you are not that younger person now — however terrible your experiences have been, you have survived to tell the tale. 32. What do Robert Frost’s words imply? A. Readers must share the writer’s personal experiences. B. Writers’ sincere emotions touch readers. C. Professional training ensures emotional expression. D. Literary success depends mainly on plot complexity. 33. Why did the author rewrite her novel Drift? A. Her agent asked for a different storyline. B. The novel needed more commercial appeal. C. She failed to fully present her true emotions. D. The initial draft lacked detailed descriptions. 34. What does the author suggest about describing emotions in writing? A. Using advanced vocabulary. B. Showing body reactions. C. Valuing positive experiences. D. Avoiding personal expressions. 35. What is the theme of the text? A. Life reflection. B. Storytelling skills. C. Writing motivation. D. Emotional writing. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Stay Calm Around Tricky People You have spent hours on a project, only to have a coworker or superior criticize it for countless, non-existent flaws (瑕疵).    36    Your friend is ignoring you, and when you ask what the matter is, she replies, “Nothing,” and continues doing it anyway. People who are unreasonable or demanding-in work, family, or friendship-get on our nerves daily. Dealing with difficult people requires thoughtful and consistent approaches.    37    Hypercritical colleagues may find fault with your report. It’s natural to get cross when they do so, but try to keep your eye on the ball. Your brother comments repeatedly that you organize family events poorly. Instead of engaging in a tense back-and-forth, ignore it and focus on issues that matter more. A friend complains all the time about your being late. Try not to conflict with him head on.    38    Besides, empathy and humour can be powerful tools to minimize the friction. You don’t have to accept their behaviour, but acknowledging their feelings can lower their defensiveness and make the conversation more constructive. Humour, when gentle and respectful, can lighten the mood and remove tension. However, don’t let the joke go too far.    39    Avoid sarcasm (讥讽) which may make things worse.    40    Be clear about what you will and will not tolerate. If someone crosses the line, it’s okay to step back. You don’t have to engage in arguments or explain yourself endlessly. Instead, you can end the conversation on a friendly but firm note. A. It’s also important to set boundaries. B. The first rule is to brush it off. C. Above all, fight back if you get annoyed. D. Instead, let it go so as not to ruin the outing. E. Your teacher reminds you mildly of the paper deadline. F. There’s a fine line between humor and offense. G. Your mother is constantly nagging you about your schedule. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 During my final year of college as a Mechanical Engineering major, the job-hunting season completely changed my life. Back then, I had only one    41   : to get into a top car manufacturer in my country. I    42    all other opportunities and focused entirely on this company. After clearing the written exam, I felt quite    43    about my interview. But the result was a heavy blow-I was    44   . For several days, I was completely down, and I    45    the interviewers, my fate, and everyone else except myself. Then everything    46    when I attended a talk about the locus of control(控制源)-the belief that you are    47    for everything that happens to you, good or bad. This idea    48    me deeply and made me start looking inward. I came to see that I had always put the blame on outside factors-my parents, my school-never on me. When I carefully re-examined my interview, I recognized the    49   : I lacked certain knowledge and my communication was weak. So I decided to    50    those weaknesses. In the following interview, with better    51    and genuine self-awareness, I performed much better and    52    a job at a company that was even better than my original dream. People say failure is a strict but far more    53    teacher than success. That season, I graduated not only as an engineer but also as a student of life, learning that once you    54    blaming the outside world and begin to own your failures, you    55    the ability to build a stronger version of yourself. 41.

One remarkable example is the “Ice Games Painting,”    56    578-centimeter-long artwork dramatically painted by Qing court artists Yao Wenhan and Zhang Weibang. It    57    (preserve) in the Palace Museum in Beijing, depicting a variety of competitions and sports that could be seen on ice centuries ago, among    58    you will find Bingxi.

That day, she was leading them through a landscape drawing activity. Akila yawned, clearly disinterested-drawing wasn’t her thing. A little crowd had gathered around Tina, laughing at her odd picture: a sun with sunglasses, and trees with ice cream scoops on top. Mary corrected Tina, her voice strict but with a touch of worry, “Do it the way I taught you.” As the lesson went on, doubt started eating at Mary. Had the joy of creativity been overshadowed by the pressure to fit in? She glanced around the room, studying the kids’ faces--some were focused, others looked lost. Akila’s boredom was obvious, and instead of praise, Tina’s wild imagination had been laughed at. When class ended, Mary sat next to Tina and lowered her voice. “What made you draw the sun wearing shades and ice creams on the trees?” she asked softly. Tina’s eyes flashed with a little bit of defiance. “I love ice cream, and I thought sunglasses would make the sun look awesome. Why do we always have to copy everyone else’s drawings?” Mary went quiet, her mind racing. Tina’s pictures weren’t just strange-they were a peek into a world where creativity ruled and rules could be twisted into beautiful craziness. Was she, by forcing a rigid way of drawing, stamping out that very creativity? The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom feeling completely different. She laid a giant piece of paper in front of the class and announced a brand new project: together, they would create a piece called “Our Dream World”-and there were no rules at all. They could use any colors, shapes, and designs they wanted. At first, the kids held back, not sure what to do with all that freedom. Akila leaned back in her chair, doubting it was just another pointless activity. But Tina-whose creativity was finally unleashed-grabbed her crayons excitedly and started drawing with total freedom. Then Maya joined in. And then Michael... 注意：1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the students worked, Mary observed them with curiosity. Mary stood back and reflected seriously. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
