B When she was in middle school, Richmonder and Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School (MLWGS) senior Anushri Ramesh desired to be a professional athlete. The more sports Ramesh played, though, the more she noticed some things, like how her club softball team was once displaced from a practice facility for the baseball team. Then, she learned that professional female athletes often earned less than the male athletes. “It struck me that female and male sports weren’t treated equally,” Ramesh says. “If I wanted to make a career in sports, I wouldn’t be able to live the life that male athletes were paid to have.” Ramesh’s dream to bring equity to local youth sports inspired her to start We Play Too, an athlete-driven initiative that encourages girls and young people to enjoy club sports at a young age. In 2023, Ramesh started We Play Too as a school club. Then the activity grew into its own organization, with high school athletes serving as coaches for elementary students at Henrico County and Richmond public schools. “We teach gifted students, so we often hear great ideas,” says MLWGS teacher Michael White, who served as the club’s advisor for its first two years. “But to actually turn an idea into a real charitable institution for the community needs a lot of hard work and sweat.” We Play Too now has chapters at Deep Run, Freeman, Godwin, Henrico and Tucker high schools and has spread beyond the region to schools in Queens, New York, and Tamil Nadu, India. Ramesh estimates that more than 2,000 elementary students have participated in clubs locally, and more than 100 high schoolers have volunteered. As the organization has grown, so has its mission. Sports can lead to college scholarship opportunities, but financial barriers often prevent kids from participating in the first place. We Play Too’s free clubs help young athletes start their careers at no cost. Though Ramesh will move on to college next year, she sees a future for the effort. “I want to bring We Play Too to college with me, and bring it across the country,” Ramesh says. 24．What motivated Anushri Ramesh to start We Play Too? A. The unequal treatment in youth sports. B. The lack of sports facilities in her school. C. Her failure to become a professional athlete. D. Her teacher’s advice on helping elementary students. 25．What can we know from Michael White’s words? A.Doing sports isn’t accepted among the locals. B. A real charitable organization needs creative ideas. C. It takes a lot of effort to develop We Play Too well. D. Operating community-serving organizations is easy. 26．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The difficulty in choosing schools. B. The severity of lacking volunteers. C. The meaning of student participation. D. The influence of We Play Too. 27．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To raise funds for sports. B. To tell about a school program. C. To advertise free sports clubs. D. To organize sports activities. C In medicine, a quick diagnosis (诊断) and treatment can be lifesaving. Thankfully, the tools of the future have arrived, which are now helping doctors make medical decisions as quickly as possible. Rapid responses are particularly important in the case of strokes (中风). The severity of the impact of a stroke is often a matter of minutes. Now, according to a news release in BMJ, the NHS England has found that AI software that interprets brain scans could increase stroke recovery rates by three times. The technology may be able to accomplish this goal by diagnosing(诊断) patients faster. The new AI software processes, interprets, and transfers images at a speed that assists doctors in making faster decisions about the right form of treatment. A stroke, which is when blood supply to a part of the brain is stopped, can become very dangerous. According to current estimates, a person can lose 2 million brain cells (细胞) per minute at the start of a stroke. The longer a stroke goes on, the more likely it is to cause permanent damage, such as mobility, communication issues, or memory loss. As Health Club Management Magazine reports, making the decision about how to treat a stroke and whether surgery is necessary— can take a specialist up to 30 minutes. That’s a long time when every moment matters. Luckily, a new piece of AI software has been put in all 107 stroke centers in England. This technology, which can analyze brain scans and recognize patterns that point to a stroke that doctors may not be able to recognize, can give a doctor data on the severity of a stroke, and therefore what kind of intervention it may need immediately. This has led to a reduction in the time in which patients receive treatment by an hour. The new technology in England illustrates the power of AI to help humanity through saving lives. Machines can see quicker, view more, and analyze information more quickly than humans. When it comes to a stroke, that can make all the difference. 28．What determines the stroke recovery rates according to the text? A. The medicine. B. The quick response. C. The medical team. D. Patients’ health levels. 29．What does the author want to do by listing numbers in paragraph 4? A. Show the advantages of machines. B. Call for preventive healthcare policies. C. highlight the urgency of timely assistance. D. Say the necessity of protecting brain cells. 30．What is a feature of the new AI software? A. It can perform surgery on patients. B. It can restore the missing memory. C. It can prevent strokes from happening. D. It can help doctors decide rapidly. 31．What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI Speeds up Stroke Rescue B. AI and Brain Attack C. Doctors and Stroke Patients D. Diagnosis Is the Key D In mid-October 2025, at the IUCN Congress in Abu Dhabi, it was announced that the worldwide population of green sea turtles(海龟), aka Chelonia mydas, had grown by approximately 28% since the 1970s. News of their recovery, after decades of decline, has been greeted with excitement by conservationists. “This is a major win for turtle conservation and proves that joint efforts can reverse populations at risk of extinction,” says Christine Madden, WWF Global Marine Turtle Conservation Lead. Brendan Godley, a turtle expert from the UK’s University of Exeter, tells Mongabay, “It stresses that marine (海洋的) conservation can work. There is hope, and we should rightly celebrate it.” Green sea turtles are slow to reproduce, with adults only reaching maturity at an estimated 26 to 40 years of age. In addition, just 1% of young turtles survive long enough to reproduce themselves. Despite this challenge, green sea turtles, details the Smithsonian Magazine, were once so rich that during the time of Christopher Columbus, sailors could sail at night around islands by the sounds of turtles breathing and their hard shells bumping into the wooden boats. A severe decline came about, however, because historically, humans hunted green turtles for their shells, meat and eggs. Their meat was sought out to make soup, while their eggs and shells were decorated by many cultures, decimating their populations. Even after hunting declined, the species continued to be threatened due to entanglement (缠绕) in fishing nets, the decline of nesting beaches and ocean habitats, the impacts of invasive (侵入的) species, and factors involved in pollution, diseases and climate change. This exciting recovery is credited to turtle conservation efforts focused on safeguarding nesting females and their eggs on beaches, and reducing the unsustainable harvest of turtles and their eggs for human consumption despite ongoing other threats such as climate change. However, Madden warns, “Conservation efforts must continue for green turtle populations to thrive and recover in areas where they remain threatened by overfishing and loss of habitats.” 32．What is Brendan Godley’s attitude toward the conservation efforts? A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Uncertain. 33．Why is Christopher Columbus mentioned? A. To stress the large number of green sea turtles in history. B. To compare ancient and modern sailing techniques. C. To criticize early explorers’ environmental impact. D. To explain the turtles’ breathing mechanism. 34．What does the underlined word “decimating” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Increasing. B. Ignoring. C. Protecting. D. Destroying. 35．What does Madden try to say in the last paragraph? A. The complete success of protecting green turtles. B. The importance of ongoing conservation efforts. C. The challenges to recover turtle nesting habitats. D. The way to improve current fishing practices. 第2节 （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。 Hobbies play an important role in our life.

After all, it’s not every day that they find a white 58 (foreign) hiking across from their fields. “Yes, they’re very beautiful,” I replied 59 Chinese. Soon, we 60 (fall) into small talk — about 61 (we) hike and their crop-planting. By the time we left, I felt as if we’d made new friends. Such things happen more than once. A mountain woman often invites us for dinner; a farmer once forced 62 (cherry) into my hands; countless villagers smile when John greets them using dialect. 63 amazes me is that a simple walk through my husband’s village suddenly opens up unexpected doors and hearts. I’ve watched John transform from a shy US wallflower into a confident social butterfly, charming even serious grandfathers. Despite past hardships, he greets everyone with cheerful optimism, teaching me that a smile is life’s 64 (good) cure on lonely days. It’s like enjoying those yellow daisies — finding beauty that we’d forgotten. Someday we’ll leave for bigger things, 65 part of us will remain in these mountains that taught us to believe in humanity and the power of a smile. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 学校规定禁止学生带手机进课堂（banning mobile phones in class），对于这项规定，你是支持还是反对呢?请以此写一篇短文，内容包括： (1)你对此项规定的看法(选择“支持该规定”或“反对该规定”)； (2) 结合实例谈谈你的理由。 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 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。 Writing was my passion. I had always been the best writer in my class. But then, the balance of my little universe shifted — Ethan transferred (转学) to our school. Ethan was quiet. He seemed lost in his own world, and the other students didn’t know how to approach him. He was often alone, and it was clear that he felt out of place. I didn’t pay much attention at first. But then came the day that changed everything. It was a writing class like any other, until our teacher assigned us a creative essay. I dove into my work, confident as always. When it was time to share, I listened politely as my classmates read their essays, but my mind was already racing ahead to the praise I knew would come my way. Then, Ethan’s turn arrived. He stood up, his voice soft but steady, and began to read. His words painted a picture of an old, forgotten library, where time stood still and the pages of ancient books whispered stories of forgotten worlds. When he finished, the room fell silent. Then, thunderous applause spread across the class. Our teacher’s eyes shone with delight. “Ethan,” she said, “you have a rare gift. With your talent, you’re bound to win the upcoming writing competition.” The words hung in the air like a challenge. I had always been the star of our literary world, but now, it seemed, a new light had appeared —— one that threatened to outshine mine. That evening, I had a talk with my father. When I finished, he sighed softly and said, “Jealousy is a thief that steals our joy. It’s easy to see Ethan as a rival (对手), but perhaps he’s just a fellow traveler on the same journey. Instead of pushing him away, why not reach out? You might discover that his light doesn’t dim (使黯淡) yours —— it only makes the world brighter.” At that moment, I seemed to realize something. 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。 The next day, I approached Ethan during lunch. From that day forward, Ethan and I met regularly to write and discuss our work. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
