So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed too close to the heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me. But my friend’s words — “I can help organize the whole thing” — stuck with me. I felt I had to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website daily, feeling proud each time a donation climbed up our total. I knew my mom would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never got defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by. When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had big smiles on their faces. They made it look so rewarding and effortless. So I signed up for another race two months later. Considering I could barely run a mile, it was ambitious. But my friend and I made a training plan. I followed it strictly and didn’t let anything get in my way. Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after her diagnosis (诊断) of cancer. “I don’t want you to feel sorry about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders. When the race day arrived, I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on. Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace. 24. Why did the author ignore the email in the beginning? A. She felt it hard to finish the race. B. She had no time to join in the event. C. She thought the research meaningless. D. She was reminded of her mother’s death. 25. What mainly helped the author get through hard times after her mom’s death? A. The inspiration from her mom. B. The company of her friends. C. The pleasure in going for a run. D. The success in organizing an event. 26. Which of the words can best describe the author’s mom? A. Considerate and polite. B. Brave and humorous. C. Strong-willed and caring. D. Outgoing and patient. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Love remembered gives strength to go on. C In recent years, the concept of “slow travel” has emerged as a reaction to the fast paced, mass tourism that dominates the industry. Slow travel encourages travelers to engage profoundly with local cultures, stay longer in destinations, and form meaningful connections with local communities. One of the key principles of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact. By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations, eating at family-run restaurants, and using public transportation or bicycles, travelers can significantly decrease their carbon footprint. For instance, a study found that tourists who engage in slow travel produce up to 70% less greenhouse gas emissions compared to those on traditional package tours. Slow travel also allows for a deeper cultural understanding. Instead of rushing through tourist attractions, slow travelers take the time to participate in local traditions, learn about historical significance, and interact with residents. This not only enriches the travel experience but also provides economic benefits to local communities. In some rural areas, slow travel initiatives have helped preserve endangered crafts and revitalize (使恢复元气) dying traditions. However, slow travel is not without challenges. It requires more planning and flexibility, as travelers need to research local customs, transportation options, and authentic experiences. Additionally, slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or tight budget. For busy professionals or families with limited vacation days, spending weeks in a single destination may seem unrealistic. Despite these challenges, the slow travel movement continues to grow. Travelers are becoming more conscious of their environmental and cultural impact, and many are seeking more authentic and sustainable ways to explore the world. As a result, travel companies are starting to offer more slow-travel options, such as extended homestays and cultural immersion programs. 28. What is the benefit of slow travel? A. It can save money on traveling. B. It can be more environmentally friendly. C. It can allow travelers to visit more places hurriedly. D. It can increase the financial income of travel companies. 29. What can we learn about slow travel from the third paragraph? A. It has little impact on local economies. B. It lacks of interactions with locals. C. It discourages travelers from learning about history. D. It may contribute to the preservation of traditional crafts. 30. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in this context? A. practical B. important C. expensive D. desirable 31. What can be inferred about the future of slow travel? A. It will replace traditional tourism entirely. B. It may become more popular in the future. C. It will cost less as time passes. D. It will only be accessible to wealthy travelers. D Does your heart sink when you see a supermarket bin full of unopened, in-date food disposed of at closing time? Mine does. That feeling only deepened after I volunteered at a UK food bank, where I watched families struggle to afford basic groceries, while perfectly good food was being abandoned by retailers (零售商) every single day. Food waste is a global crisis troubling the retail and grocery sector. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization reports that roughly 14% of food produced worldwide is lost between harvest and retail, with a further 17% wasted in households, restaurants and retail stores. While many supermarkets have trialled donation plans or end-of-day discounts, UK-based app Too Good To Go has pioneered a creative solution: it lets customers buy “magic bags” of surplus (剩余的) food from shops and restaurants for just a third of the original price. Launched in 2016, the app now operates in 17 countries, with more than 75 million registered users. Crucially, none of the food in the magic bags is unsafe or past its expiry (过期) date. Instead, this surplus food has a clear source: it is the stock (库存) that shops fail to sell before closing time each day. It mainly includes some extra bread, unsold pre-made salads, and other items that remain in stores but cannot be put on sale the next day. Many small cafes and bakeries report the app has not only reduced their food waste, but also attracted new, loyal customers. Dr. Elena Marquez, lead researcher on the 2023 industry study into food waste reduction, notes that while the app cannot single-handedly fix the global food waste crisis, it delivers a win-win model for the sector. “This technology is a reminder that small, accessible actions can drive meaningful change,” she says. “It turns a pressing environmental and social challenge into value for businesses, families and our planet, and sets a powerful example for more sustainable solutions going forward.” 32. What can be learned about the author from the first paragraph? A. He shows great concern for needy families. B. He once worked in a local supermarket. C. He helped deliver food to local retailers. D. He throws away unsold food at closing. 33. What do we know about the app Too Good To Go? A. It was created by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. B. It is used to promote new products. C. It aims to prevent surplus food from being wasted. D. It helps sell discounted food near its due date. 34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How magic bags are priced. B. Why magic bag food is safe. C. What food customers prefer. D. Where surplus food comes from. 35. What can we infer about the app from the last paragraph? A. It has solved the global food crisis completely. B. It has a positive and far-reaching influence. C. It has only gained popularity in the UK market. D. It has a leading role in global waste reduction. 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。 Great books are plentiful, but only a few achieve the status of classics. 36 Typically, classic works share several defining characteristics, which help them stay meaningful through generations and across cultures. A memorable main character is essential. Classic novels often feature heroes or heroines with vivid and distinct personalities. By absorbing ourselves in their experiences, we become emotionally involved, and this connection makes the story world come alive in our mind. Characters like Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice and Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings serve as readers’ eyes and ears, allowing us to gain a more thorough understanding of their world. 37 Classical literature invites multiple readings. With each reading, new depths are uncovered. 38 The forever charm refreshes each repeated reading. Each revisiting offers a fresh idea, allowing readers to discover new layers of meaning as they grow and change. 39 They continue to attract modern audiences regardless of when they were written. Shakespeare’s plays, for example, were published in the 16th and 17th centuries, yet they remain influential and charming today. Their everlasting appeal lies in the universal nature of the themes they explore, whether it’s love, ambition, or the struggle for power. In conclusion, what is said above sets classics apart from other works. 40 Classics are essential to our cultural identity and will continue to influence a wider world in the future because they teach us valuable lessons about what it means to be human. A. True classics stand the test of time. B. Works by Shakespeare are famous and timeless. C. They are the windows for us to see the story unfold. D. It also makes them a vital part of our literary heritage. E. Reading classic literature contributes to personal growth. F. A book must achieve excellence to be recognized as a classic. G. Reading classics at different stages of life inspires new thoughts. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last summer, I joined an adventure team to explore a tropical jungle.

For many years, it had been a warm home for people who loved reading. The old wooden sign above the door read “Li’s Books” in dark red letters. Time seemed to slow down the moment people opened a book there. Now, it was going to close. The news made Tom, a quiet high school student who had grown up reading in the comfortable corners of the bookstore, feel very sad. He had spent many years reading in the cozy chairs of the shop. The smell of old paper felt like his own childhood, watching him grow up. He couldn’t imagine the street without the store’s warm, friendly light. When people in the neighborhood heard the news, everyone looked worried. The reason for the closing the store was that a large development company had made a generous offer to buy the building as a trendy coffee house to make more money. To the company, it was just business. Uncle Li was getting old and tired. He told Tom, “Maybe it’s time to let go. Young people today don’t read as much as before.” He sighed, resting his hand on an old storybook. “The World has moved on.” On the last Saturday before closing, Tom came early. His bag was full of things he had kept from the store: a colorful bookmark he got at 10 years old, a receipt (收据) from his first book, and a photo of him and Uncle Li at a reading party. He picked up his favorite book, The Little Prince, from the shelf. Its cover was worn out, but the pages were still in good shape. He saw Uncle Li was packing up everything. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Tom couldn’t let the store close — not without trying to change things. _______________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ With the help of the neighbors, Tom’s plan to combine the bookstore and a coffee house began. ___________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 第2部分 阅读理解 第一节 21-23 BCC 24-27 DACD 28-31 BDAB 32-35 ACDB 第二节 36-40 FCGAD 第三部分 语言基础运用 第一节 41-45 CABBD 46-50 ADCCA 51-55 BDDCC 第二节 56- 65 but; became; roofs; a; its; for; higher; Made; which; to protect 第四部分 写作 第一节 Dear Susan, I'm Li Hua. Our school is planning to hold a labor activity in the labor base next week. I'm writing to invite you to attend it. The activity is scheduled to be held from 9:00am to 11:00 am next Tuesday. We will meet at the school gate and then go to the labor base. We will learn to plant vegetables, such as tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers and so on. What's more, we will learn to raise chickens,ducks and geese. I am sure you will have a good time with us. I am looking forward to your early reply. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 Tom couldn't let the store close-not without trying to change things. Tom mustered up his courage and approached Uncle Li, laying out the well-kept bookmark, the faded photo, and his dog-eared copy of The Little Prince on the packing box.“This bookstore is more than a place of business," he said earnestly,“it's a community hub where generations have found comfort and inspiration.” He then proposed a plan of combining the bookstore and a coffee house, launching a series of weekend reading workshops and inviting local students to share their favorite stories. Moved by Tom's passion and practical idea, Uncle Li paused his packing, a flicker of hope rekindling in his weary eyes. Tom then hurried to spread the idea with the neighbors who promised to support him wholeheartedly. With the help of the neighbors, Tom's plan to combine the bookstore and a coffee house began. They designed eye-catching fryers and distributed them around the neighborhood. People donated furniture, painted the walls together, and set up a small coffee bar with simple machines. Some helped promote the new bookstore online, while others brought in books and coffee beans. To their surprise, many young people came to visit, attracted by the warm mix of books and coffee. In the end, Uncle Li's Books stayed open, still a quiet island in the city, warmer and more lively than ever. Witnessing the renewed energy, Uncle Li made up his mind to keep the store running. Tom beamed with pride, knowing that he had breathed new life into the place that had shaped his love for reading. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
