Such a fitness zone would bring multiple benefits.Firstly,it provides a convenient escape where students can relieve back pain and recharge their energy after long hours of sitting in the classroom.Additionally,by offering equipment that suits all athletic levels,it fosters a habit of regular exercise without requiring expensive facilities.Finally,turning this neglected corner into a dynamic workout spot would not only beautify our campus with a fresh look but also strengthen our commitment to a healthy lifestyle. In essence,creating this fitness zone would greatly enhance our overall campus experience and promote wellness for every student. Possible version 2 I propose converting the unused area into a mini vegetable garden.This space can be divided into several planting beds,where students can grow easy-to-care-for vegetables like cherry tomatoes,lettuce,and herbs. Simple wooden pathways and watering tools can be added to make the garden both practical and inviting. A campus vegetable garden offers multiple benefits.Firstly,it provides a hands-on learning opportunity, allowing students to understand where food comes from and how plants grow.Secondly,a vegetable garden promotes healthy eating by encouraging students to consume fresh produce Moreover,tending to the garden can foster teamwork and collaboration among students,strengthening our sense of community. In short,creating this small garden would greatly enrich our campus life and bring us closer to nature. 第二节：读后续写（满分25分） Ms.Frank began to sing the first line of the song.Her voice was warm and steady,cutting through the tense silence like a beacon of hope.Emerly's heart swelled with reassurance as she recognized the familiar melody.Taking a deep breath,the little girl started to move again bravely.She spun and leapt with grace,her body responding to the rhythm that filled the gymnasium.Meanwhile,Ms.Frank joined her on stage,dancing alongside her with joy,creating a beautiful harmony of teacher and student.The spotlight no longer felt burning.Instead,it felt like a gentle embrace. As they danced together on the stage,more and more students joined in.Their faces lit up with excitement as they rushed forward,forming a vibrant circle around Emerly and Ms.Frank.Friends began to clap along, creating an atmosphere of pure exhilaration.With each movement,Emerly felt her confidence soar,and she encouraged others to jump in,inviting them to share the joy of the moment.Laughter and smiles spread like wildfire,transforming the gymnasium into a sea of unity and celebration.In that magical instant,she realized that bravery comes not just from within but also from the people who believe in you. 英语试卷参考答案与解析第2页（共11页） 听力部分录音稿 Text 1 W:Dad,I wish you could come shopping with me tomorrow. M:Sure.What for? W:Well,it's hard to buy you a new pair of shoes for your birthday without knowing your shoe size! Text2 W:What are you going to do with that bag of old clothes,David? M:I tried to sell them online but got no answer.Now I'm taking them to a charity box. W:That's a great idea!Better than throwing them out. Text 3 M:We need 4A printer paper for documents.What else did I mention? W:Let me see.Two boxes of folders. M:That's right.Do you think we should grab anything else? W:Maybe some notebooks and tape foar the meetings. Text 4 W:How's your history essay coming along? M:I have been doing it for two days and I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it finished. W:Don't stress too much. Text 5 W:Sorry to keep you waiting.What can I get for you this morning?The usual? M:Yes,the same as always,but could I have orange juice instead of apple juice?And a pancake as well. W:No problem,sir.I'll have them ready in a minute. Text 6 M:Here's your coffee,Jen. W:Thanks,Dad! M:Hey,you're almost done packing your things. 英语试卷参考答案与解析第3页（共11页） W:Yeah.Do you think we'll be happy in our new place? M:Absolutely!Your new bedroom is great,and there's a sports center right across the street. W:True,I'm excited about that.But I wish our new garden were bigger. M:I understand.I'm sorry to leave this garden behind too.But we can get some plants for the new balcony to make it nicer. W:Yes,that could help.Anyway,I should get back to work. M:Me too. Text 7 M:You seem very active lately.What's your usual way to stay fit? W:I used to run outside almost every day.But recently I've been into speed,so I've switched to cycling. M:That's great.I like exercise,too.I stick to swimming at the pool four times a week. W:Sounds like a solid plan.Do you feel any difference? M:Yes.Even a short fifteen-minute session helps,but half an hour works best for me.It trains my determination. W:I totally get that.Cycling has really improved my sleep and put me in a much more positive mood every day. M:As for me,my mind gets clearer after exercise. Text 8 W:This is Ellie Keller in the studio.I'm pleased to have Mark Stuart,also known as"Mr.Car,"as my guest today.Good morning,Mark. M:Good morning,Ellie.It's great to be here with all the listeners. W:Mark,why would anyone want to buy a used car? M:Well,buying a used car can be risky,but if you're careful,you can save a lot of money.That's the main advantage.Used cars are generally cheaper to buy and insure than new ones. W:That's a good point.Where should we start? M:First,before looking for a used car,you should determine the type,size,and age of the vehicle you want. Small cars with small engines can save you hundreds of dollars a year on fuel,while sports cars tend to be more expensive to buy and maintain. W:Right,like my brother's car.It is a used car but it still cost him 2,000 dollars.Now,where's the best place to find a used car? M:A good starting point is a car dealership.Both new and used car dealerships sell used vehicles.You might 英语试卷参考答案与解析第4页（共11页） pay a bit more at a new car dealership,but the quality of the cars is usually higher. W:That makes sense. Text9 W:I heard you had a learning tour of a smart home device plant with your science class.What was it like? M:Amazing.Its production process is very efficient.Whole sections are highly automated,with human workers absent.Robots do nearly everything. W:Really?That sounds like science fiction. M:Indeed.But what struck me most was how they work.They place parts perfectly every time.Human operators just monitor from screens in a control room. W:That's impressive.But doesn't it worry you?Fewer people are needed. M:I see your point.But our guide explained it creates different jobs,such as those in design and maintenance. It changes the process but doesn't end it. W:I suppose so.Was it noisy? M:Surprisingly quiet.The machines are smooth.Watching them cooperate was like a dance.I learned more there than from three textbook chapters. W:First-hand experience beats reading sometimes. M:Absolutely.It showed me technology's real-world role. Text 10 Hello everyone.Today I'd like to share with you an activity I run in my community.Every month,I organize a gathering where elders share old folk tales.I started this five years ago when I realized young people knew few of these stories.Initially,I invited ten elders;now about fifteen regular speakers join us,and audience numbers have grown.I continue this activity to preserve these oral traditions not just as history,but as ways to pass down key principles like honesty,courage,and caring for others.The storytellers speak from memory,sharing wisdom that has shaped our community's character across generations.Their voices carry the weight of experience,turning each tale into more than simple entertainment.Listeners often comment that a particular story made them reconsider their own behavior or choices.These narratives also strengthen their shared values.Keeping this custom alive ensures that what we hold dear continues to guide us,linking the past to the present in a meaningful way. 英语试卷参考答案与解析第5页（共11页） 英语试卷参考答案与解析 第二部分阅读 第一节 A篇 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了蜜蜂种群数量下降的原因，指出单一作物种植、栖息地丧失 等因素导致蜜蜂营养不足，并介绍了一些改善蜜蜂饮食的举措。 2l.B【解析】细节理解题。根据图示中的说明：Insect nerve toxins affect ability to search for food.可知， 昆虫神经毒素（来自于杀虫剂）阻碍了蜜蜂有效寻找食物。故选B。 22.C【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中“But this once-extensive menu has been narrowed.Plenty of land that once offered bees a variety of nectar and pollen,has been replaced by brick and concrete. 见，蜜蜂“一度丰富的菜单已经缩小”。这种菜单的缩小进一步解释为“许多曾经为蜜蜂提供各种花 蜜和花粉的土地，已经逐渐被砖块和混凝土取代”，这直接表明了它们食物来源的可用性和多样性正 在减少。“The decline of food sources”,既可指食物数量的减少，也可指种类的减少。故选C。 23.B【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“such plans may soon be able to tailor seed mixes to best meet bees'needs by providing greater diversity.”可知，通过播种野花，减少割草以及调整种子混合配方，这 些举措的核心目标是提供更多样化的食物来源，从而满足蜜蜂的营养需求。因此，这些倡议的目的 是增强蜜蜂的饮食选择。故选B。 B篇 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自身经历讲述了孩子们对旅行的不同态度，并分享了在埃及 之旅中领悟到的教育启示：每个孩子都有自己热爱的旅行方式，关键在于找到他们真正感兴趣的 “钩子”。 24.A【解析】词义猜测题。文中第二段说“My daughter caught the travel bug early.Byl3,she was drawn to cafes,shops and museums in Europe.”女儿l3岁就被咖啡馆、商店和博物馆吸引，说明她很喜欢旅 行。“catch the travel bug'”是英语习语，意为“迷上旅行、对旅行产生浓厚兴趣”，与“was keen on travelling”同义。故选A。 25.A【解析】推理判断题。文中第四段描述儿子在埃及之行中的表现：在埃及博物馆停下阅读信息卡、 仔细研究展品：在卡尔纳克神庙倾听导游讲解历史：在帝王谷主动解释象形文字并向导游询问葬礼 习俗。这些都表明他在思想上投入并积极参与，而不仅仅是走马观花。故选A。 26.C【解析】推理判断题。文章最后两段明确指出，作者之前一直用自己的旅行方式强加给儿子，后来 英语试卷参考答案与解析第6页（共11页） 意识到问题所在：儿子需要一个“钩子”一一与他在当时感到好奇的东西连接起来。儿子需要叙事、 历史背景和可触碰的地点。因此，孩子版本的旅行的关键要素是他们各自的特定兴趣。故选C。 27.A【解析】推理判断题。全文围绕一次埃及之旅展开，这次旅行让作者恍然大悟，理解到每个孩子都 有自己的旅行喜好，不能用统一标准强求。这次旅行不仅改变了作者对儿子旅行的看法，也具有深 刻的启示意义。因此，文章主要讲述的是一次富有启发性的旅行。故选A。 C篇 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。尽管人工智能发展迅速，但与人类智能存在本质区别一一人类智能源 于社会协作、文化传承和具身体验等，而AI缺乏这些维度，因此所谓A将超越人类智能的说法更多是夸 大宣传，而非真知灼见。 28.C【解析】推理判断题。从第二段第一句“Research shows that human intelligence emerges from processes like shared language,cultural communication,cooperation and progressive learning across generations..”可以推断，人类智能的特点是“集体智慧”(collective wisdom),而非个体学习或单纯的进 步速度。故选C。 29.A【解析】推理判断题。第三段先说明人类智能是“具象的”：“Our thinking is shaped by physical experience,emotion and social interaction,which ground abstract reasoning later in life.”思维由身体经 验，情感和社会互动塑造，这为日后生活中的抽象推理奠定了基础，而AI缺乏这种基础：“Language models learn statistical patterns from text,not meaning from lived experience.They do not understand concepts in the way humans do.”仅从文本中学习统计模式.而非从生活经验中理解概念。因此，核心 区别在于学习的来源不同，故选A。 30.C【解析】细节理解题。从第四段第四句“Training AI on such data set means baking in the perspectives,assumptions and biases of a relatively small portion of the world''s population.”可知语言覆 盖范围的极度不均衡直接导致偏见，所以主要因素是“有限的语言范围”。故选C。 31.B【解析】观点态度题。作者在最后一段明确表达了对“AI将超越人类智能”这一说法的怀疑态度。 "and there is no evidence they can-the idea that AI will exceed human intelligence remains more promotion than insight..”作者认为这种说法“更像是宣传而非洞见”，且强调“没有证据”表明机器能 做到。这体现了怀疑的态度。故选B。 D篇 【导语】本文是一篇科技说明文。文章介绍了一种受昆虫翅膀启发的新型抗病毒材料。该材料模仿 蜻蜓翅膀的纳米结构，表面布满微小的纳米柱，能通过机械力撕裂病毒外壳，为传统的化学消毒方法提供 了一种物理替代方案。 英语试卷参考答案与解析第7页（共11页） 32.D【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段可知，当前防止病毒通过表面传播的方法主要依赖清洁和消毒， 但本段重点指出了这类方法的多个缺点：消毒剂需保持湿润才有效、表面易被再次污染、使用的化学 品具有刺激性且损害环境。选项D“消毒剂的缺点”概括了本段主旨。故选D。 33.A【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Experiments..confirmed this bacteria-killing effect is not driven by surface chemistry,but rather by the physical nanostructures on the surface.”(实验证实，这 种杀菌效果并非由表面化学物质驱动，而是由表面的物理纳米结构所致。)可知，蜻蜓翅膀杀菌效果 的决定因素是其“表面结构”。故选A。 34.B【解析】段落主旨题。第四段首先介绍了这种新型杀毒材料的构成（一种覆盖数千个微小柱子的 薄膜)，接着详细说明了其工作原理：纳米柱通过“抓取”和“拉伸”病毒外壳，直至其“破裂”，利用机 械力杀死病毒。因此，本段主要关于该材料的“工作原理”。故选B。 35.D【解析】标题归纳题。全文的核心是一种新型抗病毒材料：其通过表面的“纳米柱”物理“撕裂”病 毒。选项D“纳米柱接触时撕裂病毒”最直接、最生动地概括了这一核心创新。故选D。 第二节 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了竞争中失败带来的痛苦感受及其原因，同时指出失败并非 全无益处一一它能帮助我们识别弱点、促进成长，并以成熟的风度面对失利。 36.D【解析】空格位于首段中部。前一句指出“生活常将我们置于人们力图超越彼此的境地”，这引出 了“竞争”的话题。空格后的句子是“没人喜欢输”，话题转向“失败”。选项D“竞争伴随着失败的可 能”衔接了“竞争”与“失败”这两个核心概念，起到了承上启下的作用，逻辑流畅。故选D。 37.E【解析】第二段第三句描述了输掉决赛后的具体情绪反应（胃下垂、流泪、愤怒或失望）。选项E It also feels unbearable to congratulate your opponents,“向对手表示祝贺也让人感到难以忍受。"对应了 空37后“Balbir指出这些感觉是自然的。”提到的“感觉”。E承接前文，呼应后文，衔接顺畅。故 选E。 38.F【解析】第三段提到，即使是在朋友间的随意比赛中，尽力而为也可能导致失望。空38后以 “Alternatively"引出另一种可能：或者担心输证明自己技能不足。选项F“You may rely on winning as a way to boost your confidence.”(你可能依赖胜利来增强自信)描述了一种常见的心理机制一一把胜 利作为自信来源，失败则会打击自信。这与前文的“失望”形成并列，并为后面的“另一种恐惧”提供 对照，逻辑合理。故选F。 39.G【解析】第四段指出失败也有益处，许多顶级运动员认为失败让他们更强。空39后Blbi表示同 意“从失败中学到的和从胜利中学到的一样多”。选项G“Learning from those mistakes helps them improve and work harder.”(从错误中学习帮助他们进步并更加努力)具体解释了运动员如何从失败 中变强，与“losses make them stronger”及Balbir的观点直接呼应。故选G。 英语试卷参考答案与解析第8页（共11页） 英 语

Here is a diagram that highlights four categories of threats to bees. What’s to blame? There is no single suspect. All the evidence points to a combination of interacting stresses. And piling on the pressure is poor nutrition. For many millions of years, bees satisfied their dietary needs by feeding from diverse flowering plants, each offering nectar (花蜜) and pollen (花粉) made to its own recipe: different types and concentrations of sugars in nectar, and in pollen, very different amounts of protein and other nutrients. But this once-extensive menu has been narrowed. Plenty of land that once offered bees a variety of nectar and pollen has been gradually replaced by brick and concrete. Fortunately, there are already many initiatives launched — sowing wildflowers in green space and reducing grass cutting in parks and along roadsides to give wildflowers the chance to bloom. Also, thanks to so much research into the nutritional value of different sorts of pollen, such plans may soon be able to tailor seed mixes to best meet bees’ needs by providing greater diversity. 21. Which of the following prevents bees from locating food effectively? A. Pests. B. Insect nerve toxins. C. Herbicides. D. Single-crop farming. 22. What leads to the poor nutrition in bees? A. The extension of their menu. B. Their worsening physical condition. C. The decline of food sources. D. Their increasing need for protein. 23. What is the goal of the initiatives? A. To ensure a safe environment for bees. B. To enhance the dietary options for bees. C. To speed up the growth of wildflowers. D. To boost the nutritional value of pollen. B When my children were little, we went to Mexico, Switzerland, Argentina-places we adults wanted to explore, and the kids cheerfully tagged along. But when my son turned 10, he declared, “I don’t really like to travel.” It broke my heart. My daughter caught the travel bug early. By 13, she was drawn to cafes, shops and museums in Europe. My son, however, dragged his feet at the Louvre, asking, “Can we just go back to the hotel now?” I felt crushed. Still, I pushed for a trip to Egypt before my daughter left for college. After I promised him screen time, my son agreed. It came as no surprise he was reluctant, but what I didn’t foresee was that Egypt would be the destination that clicked. The first sign came at the Grand Egyptian Museum. My son, who usually speed-walks through museums, stopped to read the information cards and studied exhibits. My husband and I exchanged glances, afraid acknowledging it would break the spell. At the Temple of Karnak, my son leaned forward, listening to our guide explain how 80,000 labourers built this place over 1,300 years ago. At the Valley of the Kings, we stood in Tutankhamun’s burial chamber. “He’s much smaller than I imagined,” he said. Suddenly, he was explaining hieroglyphics (象形文字) to us, and asking our guide about burial practices. My husband whispered, “I can hardly believe it.” A visit to the Kom Ombo Temple sparked a debate between my teens about ancient Egyptian religion. That’s when I realized what had been wrong all along. I’d been dragging him through my version of travel. My son needed a hook, something that would connect to what he was curious about at that moment. Our Egypt trip taught me that not all kids will love travel the way you do, but they might love their version of it. My daughter thrives on aesthetic (审美的) experiences. My son needs a narrative, historical context, and physical places to touch. Maybe your reluctant traveller doesn’t hate travel either. Maybe they’re just waiting for you to help them find their version of it. 24. What do the underlined words “caught the travel bug” mean in paragraph 2? A. Was keen on travelling. B. Was tired of traveling. C. Was focused on travelling. D. Was fearful of travelling. 25. What do we know about the author’s son on the trip to Egypt? A. He got intellectually engaged. B. He showed no interest in exhibits. C. He developed his imagination. D. He speed-walked through temples. 26. What is the key element of kids’ version of travel? A. Their brave attempts. B. Their willingness to take breaks. C. Their specific interests. D. Their eagerness to seek adventures. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. An enlightening trip. B. A journey of recovering family love. C. A parent-child conflict. D. An introduction to Egyptian museums. C Claims that artificial intelligence (AI) borders on human intelligence have become commonplace. Some believe that rapid advances in large language models signal “superintelligence” will fundamentally reshape society. However, this comparison misses something essential about what human intelligence is. Research shows that human intelligence emerges from processes like shared language, cultural communication, cooperation and progressive learning across generations. AI systems, by contrast, do not cooperate or form social bonds. They process information separately, responding to prompts without awareness, intention or accountability. Human intelligence is also embodied (具象的). Our thinking is shaped by physical experience, emotion and social interaction, which ground abstract reasoning later in life. AI lacks this grounding. Language models learn statistical patterns from text, not meaning from lived experience. They do not understand concepts in the way humans do. Advocates of AI progress often point to the vast amounts of data used to train modern systems. Yet this data represents a remarkably narrow slice of humanity. Around 80% of online content is produced in just ten languages, while over 7,000 languages are spoken worldwide, with only a few hundred represented online. Training AI on such data set means baking in the perspectives, assumptions and biases of a relatively small portion of the world’s population. Human intelligence, by contrast, is defined by diversity. Eight billion people contribute to a shared cognitive (认知) landscape. AI does not have access to this richness, nor can it generate it independently. The data on which it is trained is based on a highly biased sample. None of this is to deny that AI systems are powerful tools. Used carefully and with oversight, they can be socially beneficial. But usefulness is not the same as intelligence in the human sense. AI remains narrow and dependent on human input, evaluation and correction. It does not form intentions, participate in shared reasoning or contribute to the cultural processes that make human intelligence what it is. Until machines can participate in that social, embodied and ethical dimension of cognition—and there is no evidence they can—the idea that AI will exceed human intelligence remains more promotion than insight. 28. What can be inferred about human intelligence in paragraph 2? A. It progresses at a slow pace. B. It develops from individual learning. C. It features collective wisdom. D. It shows more advanced ability than AI. 29. In paragraph 3, the author primarily contrasts human and AI learning in terms of ______. A. the source of understanding B. the lessons of lived experience C. the speed of data processing D. the concepts of abstract reasoning 30. What mainly contributes to the bias in AI training data? A. Repeated text patterns. B. Inaccurate online content. C. Limited language range. D. Uneven geographical coverage. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the idea that AI will exceed human intelligence? A. Approving. B. Doubtful. C. Cautious. D. Unconcerned. D Think of how many surfaces you touch daily, from your work desk to the bus handrails and your phone screen. Viruses can easily spread via these surfaces. Infection typically occurs by touching a contaminated (污染的) surface — and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Now a team of researchers led by Elena Ivanova created a thin plastic surface with tiny nanoscale features, billionths of a metre in size, that copy the nanostructured surface of insect wings and can physically burst viruses the moment they land. Current methods for preventing virus spread via surfaces usually involves cleaning and disinfection. Disinfectant must remain wet for some time to kill bacteria. This can be challenging in some real-world settings. Surfaces can also be recontaminated quickly when touched by others. And disinfection often requires harsh chemicals which can damage equipment and the environment. Nature offers examples of bacteria-free surfaces, such as the thin water-resistant wings of dragonflies. While these wings are self-cleaning, they act less by pushing bacteria away and more as natural bacteria killers. Experiments the team did with gold-coated wings, which resemble the wings of dragonflies, confirmed this bacteria-killing effect is not driven by surface chemistry, but rather by the physical nanostructures on the surface which essentially force bacterial cell walls to stretch and burst. In this new study, the researchers created a virus-bursting material that was lightweight and flexible: a thin plastic film covered in thousands of tiny pillars (柱子). These nanopillars grab and stretch a virus’s outer shell until it bursts, killing viruses through mechanical force. The mould (模具) they used to create this material can be easily scaled for industrial use, from food packaging to hospital equipment and office desks. Nanostructured surfaces are built for durability.

But why does losing hurt so much and how can it be handled better? Picture this. You’ve just lost the final match of the football season. Your stomach drops, your tears well up and anger or disappointment takes over.    37    Balbir Bansi, a school counsellor in UK, says these feelings are natural. “When a lot of time and effort needs to be put in, it can be painful to lose, because it can feel like your hard work has gone to waste,” Balbir says. Other emotions such as embarrassment may also arise, especially if friends and family have come to support you. These same emotions can surface even in casual contests between friends, like table tennis or video games. To an outsider, losing might seem inconsequential, but Balbir explains that the desire to do your best can lead to disappointment, whatever the circumstances of the defeat.    38    Alternatively, you may fear that losing shows you are less skilled than your opponent. This might make you doubt your abilities. However, losing does have an upside. Many top athletes who have faced repeated defeats have mentioned that moving on is crucial, as losses make them stronger.    39    Balbir agrees, “we can learn as much from losing as from winning.” When it comes to losing, the key is to use defeat to identify weaknesses and areas for improvement without becoming unnecessarily self-critical and negative. For many, losing with good grace and offering sincere congratulations to your opponent is a sign of wisdom and maturity.    40    A. You have to face defeat many times. B. It can remove the uncomfortable feelings. C. These are winning qualities in all walks of life. D. With competition comes the possibility of losing. E. It also feels unbearable to congratulate your opponents. F. You may rely on winning as a way to boost your confidence. G. Learning from those mistakes helps them improve and work harder. 第三部分 语言运用（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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Last summer, I was watering a tomato planter (花盆) when I spotted them—a bunch of newborn rabbits. Five tiny bodies gathered closely,    41    of the world around them. For two weeks, I watched them from a distance.

She never approached while I was there, but her    44    was a constant, staring weight. One day, a rabbit was standing on the planter’s edge, unsure whether to jump or not.    45   , one by one, the rabbits leapt from the planter. Some    46    smoothly, while others fell. The last one    47    the longest, shaking slightly at the edge. I silently urged it on. You can do it! Then, it did. Watching them, I realized how much we like to believe life is built on    48    and control. Yet many of the experiences that shape us are leaps into the    49   . When I was younger, I thought courage meant being fearless. Now I know it means being afraid and    50    anyway. The rabbits did not leap because they felt safe. They leapt because staying put was not a/an    51   . Growth requires    52   . The leap is often where a new life    53   . We all live on the edge of our own planters.

This technique reflects    57    ancient craftsmen discovered through continuous refinement and trial and error. The findings from the Hemudu culture site in the 1970s,    58    (date) back about 7,000 years and situated in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, reveal the earliest examples of mortise and tenon usage. Of course, this structural technique is not unique    59    China. Evidence of similar mortise and tenon construction has also been found in Germany and Egypt. The application of the mortise and tenon structure is extremely extensive, including connections between surfaces, points,    60    the combinations of components. Through the complicated interlock of convex and concave (凸凹的) elements, it forms    61    inseparable and remarkably stable wooden structure. Beyond its    62    (solid), the ancient Chinese also applied mechanical principles in the mortise and tenon buildings, adapting their practices based on local conditions.    63    (couple) with the rigidity, load-bearing capacity, and energy-absorbing properties of wood, traditional Chinese wooden constructions exhibit a certain degree of earthquake    64    (resist). The design and the integration of various carving techniques have continuously improved    65    (enhance) the artistic appeal of these joints. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 你校英文报“Campus and Us”专栏正在就学校一块闲置空地（4米×5米）征集改造建议。请你写一篇短文投稿,内容包括: （1）你的建议； （2）说明理由。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Better Campus, Better Life 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Emerly, an eight-year-old girl with bright eyes and big dreams, signed up for her school’s annual talent show. She wanted to dance to “Girl on Fire”, a song that made her feel brave and strong. Every day after school she practiced her moves in the living room, but something always felt missing. That was when her music teacher, Ms. Kurstin Frank, offered to help. For two weeks, Ms. Frank stayed after class with Emerly. She clapped the rhythm, gave tips on turns, and even deliberately danced a few clumsy steps to make Emerly laugh. “You’ve got fire inside you,” she would say. “Just let it out.” On the day of the show, backstage, Emerly’s hands shook and her heart pounded like a drum. Ms. Frank knelt beside her, held her small shoulders, and whispered, “I’ll be right there in the front row. You are not alone.” The gymnasium was packed with parents and students. When Emerly’s name was called, she walked to center stage and saw Ms. Frank smiling at her from the front row. The familiar beat began, and Emerly danced. She kept spinning (旋转) and leaping as she had practiced a hundred times. The crowd clapped along. For one shining minute, everything was perfect. Then, without warning, the music stopped. A terrible scream burst from the audience, followed by dead silence. Emerly froze mid-spin, her arms still raised. The hot spotlight burned down on her alone. Some kids sniggered(窃笑). Others whispered. Emerly’s face turned red, and her eyes welled up with tears. She looked around wildly, not knowing whether to run off or stand still. A heavy silence fell and seemed to last forever. Then she saw Ms. Frank rise from her seat. The teacher walked toward the stage, her eyes locked on Emerly’s. The crowd watched, curious and quiet. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Ms. Frank began to sing the first line of the song. As they danced on the stage, more and more students joined in. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
