An English poetry recitation contest is to be held next month in our school. We competitors are required to recite an English poem within 3 minutes. Therefore, I am wondering if you could recommend some poems to me for the competition. And it would be better if the topics are concerned with challenges and dreams. What’s more, could you give me some tips on the basic skills of recitation? For instance, where the stress should fall. I’d appreciate it if you could lend me a hand. Looking forward to your early reply. Yours, Li Hua As Tom hesitated, his dad placed a firm hand on his shoulder. Looking at Tom, his dad said, “Remember the watch? It still works well through hard times. We’re just like it.” Tom listened intently. His dad’s words deeply inspired him. The following hours witnessed his tough struggle and perseverance. Ignoring the pouring rain and the slippery slope, he made every effort to pedal his bike. With mud splashing onto their clothes, they kept going, encouraging each other all the way. Despite the tiredness, they were getting closer to the top of the mountain. Gradually, the rain stopped and they arrived at the top of the mountain. The moment they reached the peak, a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky. The scenery around them was breathtaking. Tom’s dad looked at him with pride, saying, “You did an amazing job, son! I’m so proud of you.” Hearing this, Tom felt the exhaustion from riding his bike was replaced by a sense of excitement and satisfaction. They stood there, immersed in the splendid view. From this unforgettable adventure, Tom realized that it was the simple watch that helped him become stronger. 第一节 (Text 1) W: I tried some of Lara’s recipes myself, but they just don’t seem to turn out right.

It challenges participants, both individually and in teams, to solve linguistic (语言学的) puzzles. To compete at the IOL, no special knowledge is required, only basic language concepts, logic, patience, and creative thinking. Try this beginner sample to see if the IOL is right for you. A Puzzle The names of some South American countries are written in Georgian (格鲁吉亚语) with their English translations: Brazil Peru Uruguay Q: What is the English name of this country “”? The Solution ●The Georgian forms of “Peru” and “Uruguay” have the same number of letters as their English names, showing a direct letter match. ●The repeated U in “Uruguay” further confirms Georgian is written left-to-right. ●“Brazil” has fewer letters than the Georgian version, but thanks to the two other names, we already know: →R, →A, →G, →E. ●With these letters, the pattern can be translated as “A R G E _ _ _ _ A, ” which is “Argentina. ” Contest Rules ● Each individual contestant or team must choose a working language for their problems and solutions, a choice that cannot be changed less than two weeks before the Olympiad begins. ● The individual contest involves solving five problems in six hours, whereas the team contest features one problem with two hours less. ● Unless instructed, giving multiple answers will receive zero marks. Besides, a detailed explanation is required for each answer; failure to provide one will result in a lower score. Awards The team contest will award up to one gold, two silver, and three bronze medals. In the individual contest, the number of gold, silver, and bronze medals awarded shall be in the ratio 1: 2: 3, with the total number of medals being between one quarter and one third of the contestants. Click here to find out other awards. 21. Which is essential to solve the sample puzzle? A. Linguistic fluency. B. Reasoning ability. C. Geographic knowledge. D. Mathematical calculation. 22. What is different about the rules for the individual and team contest? A. The duration of the competition. B. The deadline for language choice. C The result of giving multiple answers. D. The requirement for answer explanations. 23. If there are 240 individual contestants, how many medals could be awarded in total? A. 40. B. 54. C. 72. D. 84. B Seven children line up, awaiting their turn on a slide. As each child rushes down, the ones behind laugh and cheer. Such scene is rare in Lagos, one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities, with a population of about 17 million. But on the city’s outskirts, a garbage-site-turned-park is providing room for kids to play. The project is the brainchild of 17-year-old Amara Nwuneli, who wants to prove that even in Lagos’ most crowded corners, children can have fun. For Amara, the path to building parks began when a terrible flood struck her hometown in 2020. Heavy rains swallowed entire neighborhoods, leaving thousands of families homeless. “People just said it was government failure or bad luck.” Amara recalls. But, later, she realized it was what was called Nigeria’s “climate apathy”: the tendency to view floods, heat waves, and droughts as isolated (孤立的) incidents rather than consequences of a warming planet. “I wanted to change the mindset,” Amara says. “If people don’t feel connected to nature, they won’t fight to protect it. And I knew that had to start with creating spaces people could actually see and feel.” It was no easy task. Amara first approached the Lagos State Government, which offered land but imposed (施加) restrictions that made long-term construction impossible. After months of dead ends, she shifted strategy and started looking for alternative spaces that were accessible to high-risk communities. Eventually, Amara secured a garbage site. She then mobilized a team of artists, volunteers, and small donors to clear the trash and rebuild the site with recycled materials. Three months later, the park opened. Amara is now planning two more parks. She says communities from across the country have been reaching out to her team for advice on how to reclaim abandoned spaces for public use. “That creates a kind of cycle,” Amara reflects. “I take action, others notice, they want to take action, too. And together, it grows.” 24. What might be a problem Lagos is facing? A. Insufficient public areas. B. Poor garbage management. C. Limited recreational activities. D. Uncontrolled population growth. 25. What made Amara determined to build parks? A. Losses from natural disasters. B. People’s ignorance of climate change. C. Disappointment in government failure. D. Nigeria’s inadequacy in public education. 26. What quality does Amara demonstrate when completing the project? A. Integrity. B. Optimism. C. Flexibility. D. Confidence. 27. What does Amara want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Small steps make a big difference. B. Every cloud has a silver lining. C. All roads lead to Rome. D. It is never too late to act. C Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century. Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear. Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos. Using physics-based modeling of the bird’s vocal tract (声道) , the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor.” This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses. The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音) , which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics. “This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again. 28. Why did the researchers teach the birds the song? A To save an endangered species. B. To study the birds’ brain structure. C. To develop new robotic devices. D. To preserve the birds’ cultural heritage. 29. What is a role of chingolos’ song? A. It keeps hunters away from them. B. It helps them adapt to urban growth. C. It functions as their social identity. D. It makes them remember their habitat. 30. What is the purpose of the random pauses? A. To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B. To test the birds’ reaction speed. C. To push the birds to catch the beat. D. To trick the birds into interaction. 31. What can we learn from chingolos’ learning results? A. The song has spread to other bird species. B. Their singing shows special vocal features. C. Their response to the song needs improving. D. The effectiveness depends on their population. D Secret codes once thought impossible to crack now face a challenge from quantum(量子) computers. Luckily, to protect information, physicists have developed a theoretically foolproof system called device-independent quantum key distribution (DI-QKD) , which uses entangled (纠缠)quantum particles to fix weak points in existing methods. Now, a team in China has demonstrated the technique in real city conditions, an advance that could clear the way for a secure quantum internet in which trust is taken for granted. Most cryptography works by encrypting (加密) messages with a secret code that requires a special key to decode (破译). The challenge lies in making sure the key can’t be decoded when sent. For instance, the keys in one popular encryption scheme are based on the prime factors of large numbers, which take enormous effort to crack. But such calculations could be quick work for the large quantum computers. QKD offers a solution, but it has a weakness: hardware must be perfect. DI-QKD removes the need for trust in the hardware, by employing another feature of quantum mechanics — entanglement — which closely links properties of widely separated quantum particles. If the sender and receiver entangle a pair of particles across the network, they can each perform tests that confirm the particles’ properties are strongly linked, well beyond chance. After this “handshake”, they can be sure they’re the only ones on the channel. Then, other measurements on the entangled particles can establish a key, which can be shared with confidence that nobody can decode it. In 2022, a UK-based team managed to create and share a DI-QKD key for only about 2 meters. Now, Jianwei Pan and his colleagues have extended this to practically useful distances. After collecting data for 26 days, they showed they had the statistics to establish and share a key across 11 kilometers. The researchers also showed that in theory — and given about 23 years for data collection — they could have sent a key across 100 kilometers. Pan’s group now plans to explore ways to perform DI-QKD using satellites in space. 32. What is the advance made by Chinese scientists? A. They put forward a coding theory. B. They enhanced DI-QKD practicality. C. They set up the quantum internet. D. They discovered quantum entanglement. 33. The author explains the encryption principle by __________. A. providing a definition B. making a comparison C. giving an example D. citing a statement 34. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. What entanglement is. B. How DI-QKD works. C. What prevents key sharing. D. How particles connect. 35. What is the limitation implied in the last paragraph? A. Long data collection time. B. Strict laboratory conditions. C Unstable entangled particles. D. Heavy reliance on satellites. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容,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。 In recent years, science fiction is becoming increasingly popular. Science fiction writers use their magical imagination to create imaginary worlds that attract a great number of readers, especially teenagers. But how can they make it so believable?      36      The way things work in your imaginary worlds will be based on actual science. So you must be familiar with the scientific laws related to your creation. If you’re writing about humans living on a planet with zero gravity, then you need to know the effects of zero gravity on the human body.     37    Only in this way can you gain the readers’ trust. Then the rules in your creation can be different from our daily life, so you have to figure out the exact rules of your imaginary worlds.   38     For example, if humans in your creation are able to breathe underwater in Chapter 1, your characters can’t drown in a swimming pool or river in Chapter 3.      39     You should decide the following issues: the history of the world, the geography, what possibilities it offers, how everything works in this new reality, as well as how all of these factors affect the way your characters think, feel, and react. You don’t have to tell your readers all the rules in the first chapter. But you have to let readers know enough to understand what’s going on. When you are writing, remember to make it feel real. You are creating a new real world for the readers.   40  They are able to see, hear, feel, smell, and even taste what it’s like in the new world. Whether your novel is about a world without disease or an undiscovered planet, help your readers feel like they’re actually there. A.And you have to follow them. B.You are inviting them to visit the new world. C.You have to get rich imagination to create science fiction. D.Make sure what you are writing is not against basic science. E.Characters in the imaginary worlds always have super power. F.Here you will find the answer if you are longing to create one. G.Your preparation work also involves planning everything in great detail. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节,满分 45 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 1.5 分,满分 22.5 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。 When I was 12, I was diagnosed with scoliosis, where the spine curves to the side.

Sixteen-year-old Tom and his dad had planned a 50-kilometre bike ride through the countryside to celebrate Tom’s birthday. The night before, Tom was so excited that he could barely sleep. His mind was full of images of the open road and the beautiful scenery they would encounter. Before leaving, Tom’s dad put on an old silver watch. It was a family treasure passed down from his grandpa. The watch’s glass was cracked, showing its long history, but it still kept time accurately, standing as a symbol of the family’s toughness. “This watch has seen its share of tough times, just like all of us,” his dad said, smiling at Tom. “But it keeps going, and so will we.” Tom nodded, feeling close to his dad when he looked at the watch. In the warm morning sun, they set off. Their backpacks were filled with water, energy-boosting snacks and a first-aid kit for any emergencies.
