However, some of us have developed bad online habits. Spending too much time on games or short videos is bad for our health and studies. Worse still, harmful information may mislead us, affecting our growth. Therefore, we should make good use of the Internet for learning. It is also important for us to control our online time wisely and keep away from harmful information. Let’s take action and use the Internet properly. Students’ Union 【范文】 Lily turned around and saw Mia holding her box. Overwhelmed with surprise and relief, she rushed over, tears of joy rolling down her cheeks. “Mia, where did you find it?” she asked eagerly. Mia smiled gently and explained that she had passed the storage room door and noticed the box left there. Worried it might get lost, she had kept it safely and come to look for Lily as soon as she was free. Lily felt deep gratitude and guilt — grateful for Mia’s thoughtfulness and guilty for her own carelessness. She thanked Mia repeatedly, then hurried to set up her stand and start selling the scarves with a light heart. When the sale ended, Lily walked up to Anny and her head hung low. With a sincere tone, she apologized: “Anny, I’m so sorry for accusing you angrily. I was too worried about losing my grandma’s scarves that I lost my cool without checking first.” Anny smiled warmly and patted her shoulder, saying she totally understood Lily’s anxiety and didn’t mind at all. The two girls chatted happily, and their misunderstanding was completely resolved. Lily’s scarves were all sold, and the money was donated to disabled kids. She not only fulfilled her charitable wish but also learned the importance of calmness and sincerity, gaining a precious friendship. 听力文本 Text 1 天气 W: The weather is really nice.

I was nervous and forgot my lines during my first debate. It was embarrassing, but it showed me the importance of confidence. ⑲I also remember signing up for a school speech contest the next year. I wrote my speech draft the night before and didn’t have time to practice much. ⑲I didn’t win the contest, but I learned to prepare earlier. These mistakes helped me get better. ⑳Everyone could make mistakes — even the smartest and most successful people. What matters is what you do after the mistake. So keep trying, keep learning, and remember: Every mistake is a step forward. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话读两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。The weather is really nice, the Sunny shining and there's a gentle wind. yeah.

When he was twelve years old, he went to Paris with an uncle. There, he finished his studies in marketing. After working as a casting director for nine years, Delilah got a job at Rue Dieulafoy. It is a popular place in Paris and many Parisian fashion designers like to go there. While working there and watching the customers, Delilah came up with the idea of making clothes for the European market. He wanted to give new life to the clothes that were sold in Africa. This idea started to become real. The England designer opened his first showroom. There, he began to sell his own brand of products. If you look carefully at the clothes in his showroom, you can see how special his design process is. He takes the clothes that come to Africa from Europe and the US through charities. Then he gives them a new look and sells them in France. Every year, a large amount of clothes are sent from Europe and the US to Africa. Just Italy sends more than 150 tonnes. The second-hand clothing market in Africa started because people wanted to help poorer countries. But it has two problems. First, many clothes can’t be used again. These clothes that no one buys make more waste. Second, since the late 1980s, too many second-hand clothes have come into the African market. This has made the African cloth industry face a big crisis and it is still having a hard time getting better. Delilah goes to Africa several times a year to buy second-hand clothes. In fact, 95 percent of the clothes he makes come from the markets in London. “We don’t want to teach people with fashion. Instead, we want to show them what they can do with what they have. Give me the clothes and I’ll show you how to wear them without having to buy new ones,” he said. The African designer’s words, which he said in an interview with the British broadcaster BBC, can show his idea. 24. What do you learn about Delilah from paragraph 1? A. He helped his uncle at Rue Dieulafoy. B. He studied marketing for nine years. C. He worked at a nice place in Paris D. He became a casting director in London. 25. What is the idea behind Delilah’s clothing brand? A. The importance of recycling. B. The jobs of fashion designers. C. The use of different clothes D. The value of good quality. 26. What can you infer about the second-hand clothes in Africa? A. They are a good way to help poorer countries. B. They have made the African industry grow fast. C. They have made clothes environmentally friendly. D. They have done no good to the African economy. 27. What is the main aim of this text? A. To encourage more designers to be creative. B. To tell the story of an excellent designer. C. To analyze the result of second-hand clothes. D. To help a designer’s fashion business grow. C Many people miss the sweet, rich taste of the tomatoes they ate in childhood and wonder why store-bought ones today have little flavor. The main reason is that modern farming has focused more on producing large amounts than on improving taste. But Chinese scientists have recently made an important discovery that may soon change this. A team led by Professor Hang Sanwen from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences has found a way to bring back the delicious flavor of tomatoes without lowering production. They discovered how to genetically “release the sugar brake” in tomatoes, making them much sweeter while still keeping high production. This breakthrough solves a long-standing problem in farming — how to achieve both good quantity and good quality. The study began with taste tests of more than 100 types of tomatoes. Scientists identified 33 key compounds (化合物) that create flavor. They then examined these compounds in 400 tomato varieties from around the world and carried out detailed genetic research. In the process, they found 49 genes linked to tomato flavor, including two that control sugar levels. The key discovery is that turning off these two genes could raise sugar levels by up to 30%. More importantly, this change does not affect the tomatoes’ size, look, or production. “This result shows the possibility of using the great genetic diversity found in wild species, which has been partly lost in affected varieties, to improve modern ones,” said Christophe Rothan, a fruit biologist at the French National Institute of Agricultural Research. The study comes at the right time, as more people are asking for better-tasting vegetables. Thanks to this research, suppliers may be able to offer sweeter tomatoes without worrying about a drop in fruit weight or production. The team hopes that these improved tomatoes will hit the market in the near future, according to the study published in Nature. 28. What can we learn about modern tomatoes according to paragraph 1? A. They are cheaper due to mass production. B. Their quality has declined in terms of taste. C. Their popularity increases for their large size. D. They are grown in traditional farming methods. 29. What was the core finding for the scientists? A. Conducting massive taste tests. B. Analyzing global genetic variations. C. Identifying 33 key flavor compounds. D. Revealing two sugar-controlling genes. 30. Which statement may Christophe Rothan agree with? A. Modern varieties are difficult to improve. B. Genetic diversity in tomatoes is decreasing. C. Wild species offer valuable genetic resources. D. Cultivated tomatoes are better than wild ones. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To advertise a new type of tomato. B. To introduce an advance in agriculture. C. To criticize the current farming practices. D. To explain the genetic makeup of tomatoes. D At any bus stop or while waiting in line, most people will have their heads down scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, there could be some serious benefits. Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — momentarily pleasurable but lacking in meaning. She adds human achievements largely come from higher-order thinking. So next time you have a few minutes free, put away your phone and let your mind wander. Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overblown. In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing, yet afterward reported greater enjoyment than expected. According to researcher Kou Murayama, the ability to mentally wander — to reflect on past experiences, and consider others’ viewpoints — is a distinctly human capacity that boosts learning and helps understand others. Mind-wandering is also key to problem-solving. People often find solutions better after unfocused thinking than intentional effort alone, especially during routine tasks like driving or showering. Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode (默认模式), allowing ideas to connect in new ways. It’s especially helpful for complex problems. Beyond cognitive (认知的) benefits, daydreaming also boosts social and emotional connections. A study found imagining pleasant interactions with loved ones made people feel closer. Social daydreaming allows individuals to practice conversations, reflect on past interactions, and prepare for future social situations. As psychologist Poerio says, our ability to mentally “time travel” helps us better handle the social world. Murayama says he now tries to resist checking his phone during short waits and let his thoughts wander. He finds simply entertaining oneself mentally can be both satisfying and meaningful. 32.

It can help you relieve stress and release your own tension. 36 Here are some ways to stop laughing. Distract yourself from your urge to laugh. It takes time to learn how to curb your tendency to laugh, but distraction is an easy way to stop yourself, in the meantime. For example, you can pinch yourself. The slight pain will distract you from your urge to laugh. 37 Choose any color and see how many places you can spot it in the area. This small goal will shift your focus from laughter and your emotions. 38 What can you do instead of laughing nervously? For example, nod, lick your lips, exhale slowly, or click a pen. What you decide to replace your laughter with depends on the circumstances that are causing your laughter. For example, you may laugh nervously during work meetings. 39 If you tend to laugh at serious moments, take a deep breath at moments when you’d typically laugh. Identify what makes you laugh inappropriately. Do you laugh out of nervousness, or do you laugh to cope with painful feelings? Maybe you laugh because you have a lot of energy or have trouble finding the words you want to say. Whatever your reasons for laughing, write down when your laughter is causing you issues. Consider the time, location, occasion, and people who could be causing your laughter. These are called your triggers. 40 A. Choose replacement behaviors for the laughter. B. Create a plan for replacing your laughter. C. Once you know what they are, you can begin to address your habit of laughing. D. Tell yourself, “The next time I feel awkward in a work meeting, I will click my pen.” E. If this is the case, click your pen instead of laughing. F. You can also look for a certain color in the room. G. But the inappropriate laughter may negatively affect your life. 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。 It was 1974.

She planned to sell her grandma’s hand-made scarves (围巾), which were kept in a wooden box with a rose on the top — grandma’s favorite. “These scarves will surely get a lot of money for the disabled kids,” she said softly, touching the soft wool gently. In the afternoon before the sale, Lily spent hours smoothing each scarf and putting them in order. Her classmate, Mia, who was responsible for the sale’s arrangements, stopped by her desk. “Lily, could you help me get some tables from the storage room tomorrow morning? I have to take my little brother to the hospital,” Mia asked, her eyes full of worry. Lily thought for a second — she had promised to come early to set up her scarf stand — but nodded. “Sure, no problem.” The next morning, Lily hurried to the storage room. She put her box near the storage room door and began to take some tables out of the storage room. When she finally pulled the heavy tables to the playground, the sale had already started. However, to her great surprise, her wooden box was nowhere to be seen. She looked for it in every corner, her heart feeling heavier as time went by. Just then, she saw Anny standing beside a stand full of hand-made scarves, talking to customers. They were like grandma’s! Lily walked over quickly, tears burning her eyes. “Anny, how could you? Those are my scarves!” Anny looked very surprised. “What are you talking about? These are mine.” Hearing that, Lily came over to check the box. There was no rose on the top of that box. Lily’s face turned pale (苍白的), “But where is my box?” she said, tears running out of her eyes, As she was walking around, a familiar voice came from behind: “Lily, your box is here!” 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。 Lily turned around and saw Mia holding her box. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ When the sale ended, Lily walked up to Anny and her head hung low. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
