B John has been a devoted hockey (冰球) enthusiast. In the past around two decades back, John, a part of the local junior league team, The Rapid, was an influential ice hockey competitor in his hometown, even with a considerable group of admirers. However, a knee injury in his teenage years ended his hopes of a career on the ice. Years passed, and John grew into a successful businessman, but his love for hockey never disappeared. One day, he stumbled upon an opportunity to review his childhood passion. The Rapid was organizing a charity (慈善) game to raise money for the town’s youth sports program. John reached out to the team’s manager, Mr Smith, with a special request. He wanted to suit up and play as the goaltender (守门员) for one period of the game, just for the fun of it and to encourage the younger players. Mr Smith was delighted and quickly arranged for John to join the team for the day. The news that John would take part in the game spread like wildfire in the town, and the stadium was packed with excited supporters. On the big day, John put on his old, a bit worn but still cherished hockey equipment (装备). He stepped onto the ice, feeling a rush of emotions that he hadn’t felt in decades. The crowd burst into cheers as he faced the first shot, and with each save, the energy grew. After the game, John surprised everyone by donating his game-worn equipment and a large sum of money to the local youth sports program. “I may not have been able to become a professional,” he said, “but I’m happy to give back and help these kids chase their dreams.” People were deeply moved by John’s selflessness in supporting the next generation. It was a reminder that even when our own dreams seem out of reach, we can still make a difference to the lives of others. 24. What ended John’s career as a hockey player? A. Growing old. B. His business success. C. His knee condition. D. Not being interested. 25. Why did John want to play in the charity game? A. To show off his skill. B. To inspire the youth. C. To win his honor back. D. To make more money. 26. What did John do after the game? A. He decided to give up hockey ever since. B. He said sorry for not being professional. C. He asked to check up his own equipment. D. He gave away his equipment and money. 27. Which of the following can best describe John? A. Warm-hearted and helpful. B. Creative but mean. C. Hard-working and honest. D. Kind but impatient. C Recently, 14-year-old Harini Logan won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in the United States. She correctly spelled 22 words during 90 seconds. Most Americans, however, would find it difficult to spell any of these words! From an early age, native English speakers know there are clear differences between how words are pronounced and how they are spelled. But they do not know that the difference is unique to English among major languages. Languages like Italian or Finnish can be spelled more easily because each letter matches to one sound. Students studying these languages can have 90 percent reading accuracy (正确率) after the first year. In English, many letters have two or more sounds. This is why even after years of learning, students of English are still far below Italian or Finnish students in reading accuracy. English started as a Germanic language. It is most closely connected to German and Dutch, especially in grammar and basic vocabulary. During the Norman attack in the 12th century, Old English was spoken but French was used in government and legal documents. As a result, more French and Latin words entered the English language. The printing machine was invented in the late 1400s. This helped to establish English spelling and strengthen the connection between how English is spoken and how it is written. The English of today is how the language was written at the time. However, the spoken language started to change in the 1500s with the pronunciation of all long vowels (元音), especially in southern England. For example, the word “bite” was pronounced closer to “beet” in 1400, before changing through the years to its present sound. The effect was that the English language had old spellings, but new sounds. English has 26 letters, but over 44 different sounds depending on the difference of spoken English. There are several sounds from only one letter. For example, the letter “C” can sound like an “S” as in “city.” And it also sounds like a “K” as in “cat.” 28. What is the advantage of Italian compared with English? A. It has simpler sentences. B. It expresses more exactly. C. It is easier to pronounce. D. It’s made up of fewer letters. 29. How did the printing machine affect the English language? A. It established today’s English. B. It made written English simple. C. It changed the spoken language. D. It separated spellings from sounds. 30. What did the spoken language change in the 1500s result in? A. Spellings matched sounds. B. English was easier to learn. C. Old spellings were changed. D. New sounds were formed. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. What Is the Best Way to Master English? B. Why Spelling in English Is so Difficult? C. How English Developed into Modern One? D. When Letters Started to Have Over One Sound? D Many educators have been teaching themselves how to use AI. For Jerome Ong, a 5th grade teacher in Ridgewood, New Jersey, AI has changed the way he approaches teaching. He now uses AI tools every week in his classroom. “You have to find what works for your students,” he said. “Ong not only teaches his students what AI is, but also where it falls short. “If you keep at it and say, ‘No, you’re wrong, you’re wrong,’ eventually AI will say, ‘I’m sorry, I was wrong.’ Doing that with your class can show you that AI isn’t really as smart as you think it is,” Ong said. This summer, Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic announced a first-of-its-kind plan to train hundreds of thousands of members of the American Federation of Teachers. “I think if we’re going to make AI work for students and kids, we need to listen to teachers,” said Microsoft president Brad Smith. The $23 million investment will go toward virtual and in-person training in New York City. “The direct connection between a teacher and their kids can never be replaced by new technologies, but if we learn how to use them, set practical guidelines and put teachers in the driver’s seat, teaching and learning can be better,” said AFT President Randi Weingarten. However, critics cite cheating concerns and Microsoft’s own research, which showed a self-reported reduction in critical thinking skills when AI was not used responsibly. AFT member Lois Weiner thinks teachers would be better served by more support within schools than by a partnership with AI. “There is so much boredom in the job, but the answer to that is to improve teachers’ working conditions,” said Weiner, adding that AI does not achieve better work conditions for teachers. Smith argued education should be left to teachers: “Those of us in the tech field need to provide the tools and help school boards, districts, and teachers so they decide how to put those tools into practice.” 32. What do the underlined words “falls short” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Is right. B. Has limitations. C. Is enough. D. Works very well. 33. What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. Teachers are urged to listen to students. B. Microsoft will invest $23 million in NYC. C. Tech companies plan to train teachers. D. Three firms aim to promote AI in schools. 34. What can be inferred from Lois Weiner’s comments? A. Teachers are smarter than AI. B. AI can help reduce teachers’ boredom. C. Teachers need more support within schools. D. Partnership with tech firms benefits teachers. 35. What is Brad Smith’s attitude towards AI in education? A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 第二节 阅读七选五（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。 Strategies for Overcoming the Fear of Failure It is important to face failure bravely, for doing so helps with personal and professional growth. Many of us fear letting others down, but we shouldn’t let the fear of not being good enough stop us from trying. 36 . Change your attitude to failure. Don’t view failure as a terrible end result. 37 . For example, Thomas Edison tried many times to invent the lightbulb (灯泡). Those tries were not failures but lessons that finally brought him success. 38 . Try not to focus only on grades or test scores. Instead, set clear learning goals that aim to develop new skills or master new knowledge, which will remain useful to you whatever the final result of your efforts is. A student who aims to understand difficult math ideas rather than just to get an “A” on a test is applying this strategy. Take small steps for progress. 39 . Fear often comes from feeling stressed by how big the challenge is. By dividing it into smaller, achievable tasks, the process becomes less scary. Writing a book, for example, starts with writing a single page. Listen to helpful suggestions. Learn to treat others’ useful feedback (反馈) as a valuable gift rather than a criticism. 40 . When a teacher points out what you can improve, it is a chance to grow. A. Set clear learning goals B. Master new useful skills C. Instead, regard it as a key part of the learning process D. Break down hard tasks into small and easy-to-finish parts E. Small steps and slow progress often lead to more fear of failure F. Good feedback helps you find your weaknesses and make improvements G. Here are some practical methods that can help you overcome the fear of failure 第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分45分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A Warm Mid-Autumn Festival Memory The Mid-Autumn Festival is a beloved Chinese tradition, a time for family gathering and gratitude.

I am writing to draw your attention to a serious problem among some students — they are addicted to mobile phones. As we know, being addicted to mobile phones does great harm to students. First of all, it takes up too much of their time that should be spent on study, leading to poor academic performance. Besides, staying up late playing with phones also does harm to their health, such as eyesight problems and lack of sleep. To solve this problem, I’d like to put forward two suggestions. First, our school can set up a rule to ban mobile phones in the classroom, so that students can focus on their lessons. Second, we can organize more colorful after-school activities to help students take their attention away from phones. I hope these suggestions will be helpful. Thank you!

B John has been a devoted hockey (冰球) enthusiast. In the past around two decades back, John, a part of the local junior league team, The Rapid, was an influential ice hockey competitor in his hometown, even with a considerable group of admirers. However, a knee injury in his teenage years ended his hopes of a career on the ice. Years passed, and John grew into a successful businessman, but his love for hockey never disappeared. One day, he stumbled upon an opportunity to review his childhood passion. The Rapid was organizing a charity (慈善) game to raise money for the town’s youth sports program. John reached out to the team’s manager, Mr Smith, with a special request. He wanted to suit up and play as the goaltender (守门员) for one period of the game, just for the fun of it and to encourage the younger players. Mr Smith was delighted and quickly arranged for John to join the team for the day. The news that John would take part in the game spread like wildfire in the town, and the stadium was packed with excited supporters. On the big day, John put on his old, a bit worn but still cherished hockey equipment (装备). He stepped onto the ice, feeling a rush of emotions that he hadn’t felt in decades. The crowd burst into cheers as he faced the first shot, and with each save, the energy grew. After the game, John surprised everyone by donating his game-worn equipment and a large sum of money to the local youth sports program. “I may not have been able to become a professional,” he said, “but I’m happy to give back and help these kids chase their dreams.” People were deeply moved by John’s selflessness in supporting the next generation. It was a reminder that even when our own dreams seem out of reach, we can still make a difference to the lives of others. 24. What ended John’s career as a hockey player? A. Growing old. B. His business success. C. His knee condition. D. Not being interested. 25. Why did John want to play in the charity game? A. To show off his skill. B. To inspire the youth. C. To win his honor back. D. To make more money. 26. What did John do after the game? A. He decided to give up hockey ever since. B. He said sorry for not being professional. C. He asked to check up his own equipment. D. He gave away his equipment and money. 27. Which of the following can best describe John? A. Warm-hearted and helpful. B. Creative but mean. C. Hard-working and honest. D. Kind but impatient. C Recently, 14-year-old Harini Logan won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in the United States. She correctly spelled 22 words during 90 seconds. Most Americans, however, would find it difficult to spell any of these words! From an early age, native English speakers know there are clear differences between how words are pronounced and how they are spelled. But they do not know that the difference is unique to English among major languages. Languages like Italian or Finnish can be spelled more easily because each letter matches to one sound. Students studying these languages can have 90 percent reading accuracy (正确率) after the first year. In English, many letters have two or more sounds. This is why even after years of learning, students of English are still far below Italian or Finnish students in reading accuracy. English started as a Germanic language. It is most closely connected to German and Dutch, especially in grammar and basic vocabulary. During the Norman attack in the 12th century, Old English was spoken but French was used in government and legal documents. As a result, more French and Latin words entered the English language. The printing machine was invented in the late 1400s. This helped to establish English spelling and strengthen the connection between how English is spoken and how it is written. The English of today is how the language was written at the time. However, the spoken language started to change in the 1500s with the pronunciation of all long vowels (元音), especially in southern England. For example, the word “bite” was pronounced closer to “beet” in 1400, before changing through the years to its present sound. The effect was that the English language had old spellings, but new sounds. English has 26 letters, but over 44 different sounds depending on the difference of spoken English. There are several sounds from only one letter. For example, the letter “C” can sound like an “S” as in “city.” And it also sounds like a “K” as in “cat.” 28. What is the advantage of Italian compared with English? A. It has simpler sentences. B. It expresses more exactly. C. It is easier to pronounce. D. It’s made up of fewer letters. 29. How did the printing machine affect the English language? A. It established today’s English. B. It made written English simple. C. It changed the spoken language. D. It separated spellings from sounds. 30. What did the spoken language change in the 1500s result in? A. Spellings matched sounds. B. English was easier to learn. C. Old spellings were changed. D. New sounds were formed. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. What Is the Best Way to Master English? B. Why Spelling in English Is so Difficult? C. How English Developed into Modern One? D. When Letters Started to Have Over One Sound? D Many educators have been teaching themselves how to use AI. For Jerome Ong, a 5th grade teacher in Ridgewood, New Jersey, AI has changed the way he approaches teaching. He now uses AI tools every week in his classroom. “You have to find what works for your students,” he said. “Ong not only teaches his students what AI is, but also where it falls short. “If you keep at it and say, ‘No, you’re wrong, you’re wrong,’ eventually AI will say, ‘I’m sorry, I was wrong.’ Doing that with your class can show you that AI isn’t really as smart as you think it is,” Ong said. This summer, Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic announced a first-of-its-kind plan to train hundreds of thousands of members of the American Federation of Teachers. “I think if we’re going to make AI work for students and kids, we need to listen to teachers,” said Microsoft president Brad Smith. The $23 million investment will go toward virtual and in-person training in New York City. “The direct connection between a teacher and their kids can never be replaced by new technologies, but if we learn how to use them, set practical guidelines and put teachers in the driver’s seat, teaching and learning can be better,” said AFT President Randi Weingarten. However, critics cite cheating concerns and Microsoft’s own research, which showed a self-reported reduction in critical thinking skills when AI was not used responsibly. AFT member Lois Weiner thinks teachers would be better served by more support within schools than by a partnership with AI. “There is so much boredom in the job, but the answer to that is to improve teachers’ working conditions,” said Weiner, adding that AI does not achieve better work conditions for teachers. Smith argued education should be left to teachers: “Those of us in the tech field need to provide the tools and help school boards, districts, and teachers so they decide how to put those tools into practice.” 32. What do the underlined words “falls short” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Is right. B. Has limitations. C. Is enough. D. Works very well. 33. What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. Teachers are urged to listen to students. B. Microsoft will invest $23 million in NYC. C. Tech companies plan to train teachers. D. Three firms aim to promote AI in schools. 34. What can be inferred from Lois Weiner’s comments? A. Teachers are smarter than AI. B. AI can help reduce teachers’ boredom. C. Teachers need more support within schools. D. Partnership with tech firms benefits teachers. 35. What is Brad Smith’s attitude towards AI in education? A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 第二节 阅读七选五（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。 Strategies for Overcoming the Fear of Failure It is important to face failure bravely, for doing so helps with personal and professional growth. Many of us fear letting others down, but we shouldn’t let the fear of not being good enough stop us from trying. 36 . Change your attitude to failure. Don’t view failure as a terrible end result. 37 . For example, Thomas Edison tried many times to invent the lightbulb (灯泡). Those tries were not failures but lessons that finally brought him success. 38 . Try not to focus only on grades or test scores. Instead, set clear learning goals that aim to develop new skills or master new knowledge, which will remain useful to you whatever the final result of your efforts is. A student who aims to understand difficult math ideas rather than just to get an “A” on a test is applying this strategy. Take small steps for progress. 39 . Fear often comes from feeling stressed by how big the challenge is. By dividing it into smaller, achievable tasks, the process becomes less scary. Writing a book, for example, starts with writing a single page. Listen to helpful suggestions. Learn to treat others’ useful feedback (反馈) as a valuable gift rather than a criticism. 40 . When a teacher points out what you can improve, it is a chance to grow. A. Set clear learning goals B. Master new useful skills C. Instead, regard it as a key part of the learning process D. Break down hard tasks into small and easy-to-finish parts E. Small steps and slow progress often lead to more fear of failure F. Good feedback helps you find your weaknesses and make improvements G. Here are some practical methods that can help you overcome the fear of failure 第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分45分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A Warm Mid-Autumn Festival Memory The Mid-Autumn Festival is a beloved Chinese tradition, a time for family gathering and gratitude.

This experience made me 53 the true meaning of the festival: family, gratitude and tradition. I will always 54 this special Mid-Autumn Festival.

I am writing to draw your attention to a serious problem among some students — they are addicted to mobile phones. As we know, being addicted to mobile phones does great harm to students. First of all, it takes up too much of their time that should be spent on study, leading to poor academic performance. Besides, staying up late playing with phones also does harm to their health, such as eyesight problems and lack of sleep. To solve this problem, I’d like to put forward two suggestions. First, our school can set up a rule to ban mobile phones in the classroom, so that students can focus on their lessons. Second, we can organize more colorful after-school activities to help students take their attention away from phones. I hope these suggestions will be helpful. Thank you!
