Secondly,I will focus on my real life.I intend to set aside enough time to accompany my parents and do sports. 'All in all,I should make the best of it instead of being controlled by it. 第二节（满分25分） 【参考范文】 Shortly,Lily and her mother were back at the store.Lily's heart was pounding,but her mother gave her the courage she needed.They approached the cashier desk,and with a trembling voice, Lily explained what she had done and admitted her mistake.The store owner,surprised by the little girl's honesty,smiled kindly and praised her for her integrity.He even gave her a bag of candies as a reward for her bravery and honesty.Lily's face lit up with relief and gratefulness as she handed over the money,feeling a heavy weight off her shoulders. From that day on,Lily understood the importance of telling the truth.The experience taught her that honesty,even when it's difficult,is always the best policy.She learned that while mistakes are part of life,it's how we correct them that builds up our character.Lily's mother's support and the store owner's understanding left a lasting impression on her.She promised never to let a"little white lie"cloud her judgment again.The pink candies incident remained a precious memory,a reminder of the power of truth and the warmth of a mother's love in guiding her through life's lessons. 听力原文： Text 1 M:Wow,the kitchen smells amazing!Are you making zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival?

B From a young age,I collected role models.In school,as a teenager,I tried to channel Whitney Houston.In the working world,I paid close attention to our female senior managers.By watching and imitating others-especially women of color who looked or sounded like me-I gained confidence in my own abilities. But when I started my own company,my pool of role models became smaller.Only 2.1%of risk investment goes to women-founded companies."Who can I look up to?"I wondered."Who can I learn from?"I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office,with photos of the role models I could see-women like Oprah,Michelle Obama,and Vicky,co-founder of a skincare brand.I never thought I'd meet these women,but their success gave me hope. Then one day,a couple of years ago,I surprised myself with a thought:what if I did reach out to one of my role models?I feared rejection,but my desire for connection was stronger.I chose Vicky,whose journey had long inspired me.I didn't have her email address.So I tried a cold Instagram message,and she responded the next day! That was in 2022.We've spoken numerous times since,and the conversations have been invaluable.They're rare chances to gain guidance from a successful woman.But here's the most valuable lesson I gained:when Vicky first replied to me,I wasn't the only one excited.Vicky was excited too-because she's always looking for ways to support other women.All my life,I'd thought of role models as a one-way relationship:I'd gain strength from someone stronger.But the situation is more than that. I once sent Vicky a care package from my sunglasses company.She wrote me a thank-you note, and texted a selfie of her and her daughter wearing my products.Today,I keep that letter on my desk next to my keyboard-a reminder that just as I believe in her,she believes in me.We're all here to help each other grow. 24.How did the author build up her confidence? A.By cooperating with women of color. B.By observing and copying her models. C.By making friends with persons like her. D.By starting her own sunglasses company. 25.What is the author's intention of creating an inspiration wall in her office? A.To encourage herself to achieve success. B.To inspire her employees'creativeity. C.To make her workplace more attractive. D.To improve her employees'work efficiency. 26.Why did the author choose to reach out to Vicky? A.She was afraid of being rejected. B.She only had Vicky's email address. C.Vicky's story had always motivated her. D.Vicky liked giving guidance to other women. 27.What can be concluded according to the text? A.Practice makes perfect. B.Strength flows both ways.. C.A good beginning is half done. D.Actions speak louder than words. C Scientists from the University of Otago's Christchurch Medical School have discovered a direct connection between people's vitamin C intake and their skin's ability to produce collagen( and renew itself.The study,published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology,clearly shows that skin health is influenced by vitamin C from daily food,not just by topical creams applied to the skin surface.It also found that vitamin C levels in the skin are closely related to those in the blood.Therefore,eating more foods rich in vitamin C can effectively increase vitamin C levels in both the blood and the skin. The research included 24 healthy adults from New Zealand and Germany.Those eating two SunGold kiwifruits daily raised blood vitamin C levels and saw a clear increase in skin vitamin C. This made skin thicker-due to more co llagen -and sped up outer skin renewal.Lead researcher Professor Margreet Vissers described the results as surprising and said the strong connection between skin thickness and vitamin C intake is fully believable. She noted the connection between blood and skin vitamin C is clearer than in other organs. "We were surprised by how closely blood vitamin C levels are connected to those in the skin,"she said.The research team also discovered that vitamin C in the blood can reach all layers of the skin and help the skin work better.Though vitamin C is often added to skincare products,it is not well taken in through the outer skin.However,skin cells can take in vitamin C from the blood very well. SunGold kiwifruits were chosen for the study because they always have a high vitamin C content.But the researchers believe other foods rich in vitamin C,such as oranges and berries,can bring similar benefits to the skin.It is important to keep steady vitamin C levels in the blood because the human body does not store vitamin C for a long time.Professor Vissers suggested that healthy people can reach the best blood vitamin C levels with about 250mg of vitamin C every day through their diet. 28.What affects skin health according to the study? A.Water taken in by the skin. B.Vitamin C from food intake. C.Collagen from skin products. D.Topical skincare creams alone. 29.What is Professor Vissers'attitude towards the study results? A.Doubtful.B.Unconcerned. C.Approving. D. Objective. 30.Why are vitamin C-rich skincare products less effective? A.They lack enough collagen. B.They are not used in a proper way. C.They don't suit all skin types. D.They are poorly taken in through skin. 31.What is the best title for the passage? A.Vitamin C Intake and Skin Health B.Blood Vitamin C and Skin Vitamin C C.Skincare Products and Vitamin C Intake D.Collagen Production and Skin Thickness D As cities expand rapidly,large areas of natural green land are replaced by concrete buildings and wide roads.This has led to a sharp drop in urban insect populations over the past decade, breaking the natural balance of the local ecosystem.Many insect species that were once common in 4 cities have now become rare,and some have even been listed as local endangered species.Insects like wild bees and ladybugs play a key role in pollinating()flowering plants and controlling harmful pests,and their decline will bring long-term harm to the whole urban environment.Now,a simple eco-friendly so lution is gaining popularity around the world:insect hotels. An insect hotel is a man-made structure made of natural materials,designed to provide refugia for insects to live,breed and spend the cold winter.Unlike common single-function bee boxes, insect hotels are fit for hundreds of different insect species.Different materials are designed for different insects:hollow bamboo sticks are for solitary bees,while pine cones and straw are perfect for ladybugs and other small insects.They are usually made of recyclable things like hollow bamboo sticks,pine cones,dry wood and straw,all easy to find in daily life. Many cities in Europe and China have built insect hotels in community parks,school yards and office rooftops.A 2025 study in Shanghai found that parks with insect hotels have 3 times more insect species than those without,and the number of local flowering plants has also increased greatly.Some schools even use insect hotels as a science education tool,letting students observe insects and learn about ecological protection. Experts say insect hotels are a low-cost and highly effective way to improve urban biodiversity. They not only help protect endangered local insect species,but also let people feel closer to nature in busy city life.Even a small insect hotel on your balcony can make a difference to the local environment. 32.What problem does the first paragraph mention? A.Urban insect populations drop sharply. B.Concrete buildings are harmful to health C.There are too many pests in cities. D.No green land is left in cities. 33.What does the underlined word"refugia"mean? A.Food sources.B.Breeding seasons.C.Natural materials. D.Safe sheiters. 34.What is the function of the third paragraph? A.To explain how to build insect hotels. B.To show the application effect of insect hotels. C.To put forward a new opinion on ecology. D.To give a final conclusion of the text. 35.What do experts think of insect hotels? A.They cost too much money. B.They are only fit for big parks. C.They help improve urban ecology. D.They will replace natural green land. 第二节（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。 Growing up with fairy tales and fantasy movies,many of us associate wisdom with iconic characters like Gandalf (Lord of the Rings),Yoda (Star Wars),and Albus Dumbledore (Harry Potter).Yet wisdom is not just a quality of fictional heroes-we all possess bits of it,and developing it matters greatly.-36Becoming wiser is a lifelong journey,not a destination. Here are practical strategies to help you grow. Try experiencing new opportunities. You will never grow from being in your comfort zone.This is the only way you will gain wisdom and become better.You can try learning new skills that you never thought of learning or going to places that were on your bucket list.37 Meet new people. 38 Limiting yourself to those who share your exact views may feel safe,but it holds back your growth.Engage with people who have different views,for exchanging ideas and learning from others'experiences broadens your perspective and deepens your wisdom. 39 Develop a thirst for knowledge and learn something new every day.Don't hesitate to search for answers when confused whether it's taking online courses,reading books,or listening to educational podcasts,these activities sharpen your critical-thinking skills,enabling you to tackle problems from multiple angles. Learn and grow from your mistakes. All of us make mistakes in life,but it is the acknowledgment of mistakes that makes us grow and do better next time.Whenever we make a mistake,we should learn from it.40 Instead of blaming others or lingering on failures,ask:"What can I improve?"Reflecting on failures helps you avoid repeating them,as your past mistakes are often your best teachers. All in all,keep things balanced and never let go of your passions and values.With consistent efforts,your life will certainly change for the better. A.Expand your social circle. B.But how can you get wiser? C.Never back away from learning. D.But what makes fictional heroes so wise? E.Stay within your comfort zone for stability. F.Overly focusing on our shortcomings won't get us anywhere. G.You can also change your routine and see where life takes you. 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。 Gideon Kidd,a nine-year-old from Cedar Falls,Iowa,has an ambition:to pet one million dogs.

"Some schools have become58(complete)digital,"noted Audrey,who59 (lead)the study.She measured what's happening in the brain to better understand learning and behaviours.Her study found that 60(use)a pen or pencil to write notes involves more of the brain than typing on a keyboard.This is because writing needs more complex movements, 61 makes more areas of our brain activate. Think about it:you move your hands62 same way to type each letter on a keyboard. That's different from when we write.Our brain needs 63(consider)the shape of each letter. And we must control our hands to shape different letters with a pen or pencil,all of which uses and connects more areas of the brain. So learning only by typing could be64(harm).However,the human brain connects with the world in as many 65(way)as possible.That's why it's important to learn to write by hand and to type with a keyboard in the meanwhile. 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 学会反思、提升自己是中学生必备的素质。信息时代，智能手机的普及对中学生的自制 力提出了挑战。请你写一篇英语短文，内容包括： 1.反思自己使用手机时的问题； 2.提出合理化的改进措施。 注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Learn to Use Mobile Phones Wisely 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。 Lily happily walked along the streets,her small steps filled with purpose and enthusiasm.The sun was shining,and the air was filled with the scent()of freshly baked bread from the nearby bakery,adding to her excitement. As Lily walked into the store,she noticed a beautiful container of pink candies on the cashier's desk.The candies were wrapped in sparkling wrappers,and they seemed to call out to her.She really wanted to buy them.However,there was one problem-she didn't have enough money to pay. Then,Lily came up with an idea.She told herself it was just a little white lie and that no one would ever know.It seemed like a simple solution to her dilemma().She quickly put the candies into her shopping bag and paid for the groceries,hoping that her secret would be safe. That evening,Lily couldn't help but feel regretful in her heart.The excitement of the day had faded,replaced by a heavy feeling of guilt.She knew that what she had done wasn't right.Her conscience()was eating away at her,causing her to lose sleep and feel restless.The candies, once a source of joy,now sat heavily in her stomach,a reminder of her actions. The next morning,Lily's mother noticed her daughter's troubled expression and asked her what was wrong.Lily hesitated for a moment,the weight of her secret almost too much to bear.But then,the truth poured out of her mouth like a waterfall. "Mom,I have something to tell you,"Lily said,tears welling up in her eyes,"I took some candies from the store without paying for them.I'm really sorry."Her voice was small,but the sincerity in her words was clear. Her mother's face softened,and she pulled Lily into a warm hug."Lily,I am proud of you for telling me the truth,"her mother said gently."But it's important to understand that lying,even about something small,can hurt others and ourselves.Let's go back to the store and make things right." Shortly,Lily and her mother were back at the store. From that day on,Lily understood the importance of telling the truth.
