A
I love math, especially π! To celebrate Pi Day, I promised to bake three pies for the school event and organize a math game booth (摊位). But I also have to prepare for a math competition, help my class with a poster about π’s history, and volunteer at the library. Everyone expects me to do it all because I’m “the math kid.’ I’m so tired — I haven’t had time to just enjoy math, relax or hang out with friends. It feels like I’m carrying everything on my own. What should I do?
IMO, you’re taking on too much, even for a π enthusiast. You don’t have to do everything yourself. Maybe ask classmates to help with the pies or the game booth. Celebrating π Day should be fun, not exhausting. Learn from π: it’s infinite (无穷无尽的), but you’re not. You need to set limits! You can explain how you feel and focus on what you truly enjoy. It’s okay to say no sometimes.
Making a to-do list really helps me when things feel endless — like the digits (数字) of π! Put the most important things first and see what you can share with others. And don’t forget to take a break — even Archimedes took time to think. You’ll enjoy math more when you’re not burned out and have energy left for what truly matters.
Notes: IMO = in my opinion

In a quiet neighbourhood lived Mohan Kaka, an old gardener in his seventies. Every morning at six, he looked after his beautiful garden—roses, jasmine, and a big mango tree. He talked to his plants as if they were old friends.
One day, Vikram, a young software engineer, moved next door. He was hard-working, always in a hurry and used to getting quick results. Everything in his life ran on instant gratification—fast food, fast internet, fast success.
One morning, Vikram saw Mohan Kaka planting a tiny sandalwood (檀香) tree. When he learned it would take twenty to thirty years to mature (成熟), Vikram laughed. “Kaka, you’re already seventy! You won’t even see it grown. Why waste your time?”
The old man smiled. “That’s not why I plant it.” He led Vikram to the mango tree. “My grandfather planted this when I was five. He never had a chance to taste its fruit. My father watered it carefully. Now I sit under its shade (树荫), eat its mangoes, and think about them. They planted it for those who come after.”
Vikram fell silent. “That sandalwood,” Mohan Kaka continued, “I may never see it grown. But maybe your children will. That’s enough.”
From that day, Vikram spent mornings learning patience from the old man. Six months later, he planted his own sapling. His friends laughed, but Vikram smiled. Years passed. Vikram moved cities, then countries, but in every place he planted a tree—investing (投资) in things that took time.
When Mohan Kaka passed away at eighty-two, Vikram returned. The sandalwood tree was five feet tall. It was still growing, slowly and silently. Vikram knelt beside it, thankful for a lesson he would carry for a lifetime.

Monkeys share tips on finding food
Researchers have discovered that spider monkeys share information with one another about the best places to find food. The fruit-eating monkeys live in large social groups of up to 100 animals but usually search for food in subgroups (子群体). After a trip into the forest, each monkey often moves from one subgroup to another to exchange their information. This helps all of them have a better chance of getting a good meal.
Scientists studied the behavior of endangered spider monkeys in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula for seven years. They followed a species (物种) called Geoffroy’s spider monkeys, recording where each monkey went and when they met up with other monkeys. The team then created a map based on the animals’ knowledge of the forest and figured out where there were unknown areas, such as a fruit tree that some of the monkeys had never visited.
The researchers also analyzed (分析) the monkeys’ subgroups and said these groups were formed for a purpose, and not for “random social interactions (随机社交互动).”
Members of the subgroups were not decided by their age or how recently they moved into the area. The research team concluded that the monkeys kept changing their subgroups. This way, monkeys that knew different parts of the forest could share information about where to find fruit.
“Some parts of the forest are known by lots of monkeys, like a town’s most popular restaurant, while others are only known by one or two monkeys, like a hidden gem (宝藏),” said researcher Matthew Sill. “It’s a clever system (体系) for sharing secret information about where the best fruit trees are.”
Experts said the best thing is that the monkeys explore different parts of the forest and then get together again to share what they have learned. For example, one monkey may know where the best fruit is, and another could tell when it is ready to eat. “This helps the whole group find more of the best places to get food,” Sill added. The team hopes to use the same research method to study other animals that hang out in changing groups.
12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The living habits of spider monkeys.
B. How the scientists did their research.
C. The dangers spider monkeys are facing.
13. What helps spider monkeys find more food?
A. Living in large groups all the time.
B. Staying in the same subgroup for years.
C. Sharing information after exploring the forest.
14. What do we know about the subgroups of spider monkeys?
A. They are decided by the monkeys’ age.
B. They are formed for a special purpose.
C. They stay the same without any changes.
15. What will the research team most probably do next?
A. To study other animals that live in changing groups.
B. To build more hidden gems for spider monkeys in the forest.
C. To help spider monkeys find more good places to get food.

第一节(共5小题;满分10分)
阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题,并将答案写到答题卡的相应位置。
New research suggests that some smart dogs can learn new words in a similar way to young children.
A study in the journal Science shows that 18-month-old kids learn the names of things by listening to adults’ conversations. They do this by watching the speakers’ eye movements, catching communication signals (信号) and getting key words from what people say.
Researchers from a university in Hungary wanted to find out if “gifted” dogs — those that can learn toy names — could pick up new words just by listening. In the first test, 10 gifted dogs learned two new toy names in only eight minutes. Their owners taught them directly, and seven of them could successfully find and bring the toys when asked.
Then came the “overheard” test (旁听测试). Owners talked about new toys while passing them to each other, but they didn’t look at or talk to their dogs. The dogs were kept behind safety gates or in cages (笼子), so they couldn’t touch the toys. Surprisingly, seven out of 10 dogs still recognized the toys correctly. And six of them were among the same dogs that performed well in the first experiment.
The researchers pointed out that this ability is rare (罕见的). It only belongs to “Gifted Word Learner” dogs, like Border Collies. Ordinary dogs can’t do this. The findings suggest that dogs’ human-like learning skills developed before language, so living with humans has helped dogs ________________.

Monkeys share tips on finding food
Researchers have discovered that spider monkeys share information with one another about the best places to find food. The fruit-eating monkeys live in large social groups of up to 100 animals but usually search for food in subgroups (子群体). After a trip into the forest, each monkey often moves from one subgroup to another to exchange their information. This helps all of them have a better chance of getting a good meal.

For example, one monkey may know where the best fruit is, and another could tell when it is ready to eat. “This helps the whole group find more of the best places to get food,” Sill added. The team hopes to use the same research method to study other animals that hang out in changing groups.
12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The living habits of spider monkeys.
B. How the scientists did their research.
C. The dangers spider monkeys are facing.
13. What helps spider monkeys find more food?
A. Living in large groups all the time.
B. Staying in the same subgroup for years.
C. Sharing information after exploring the forest.
14. What do we know about the subgroups of spider monkeys?
A. They are decided by the monkeys’ age.
B. They are formed for a special purpose.
C. They stay the same without any changes.
15. What will the research team most probably do next?
A. To study other animals that live in changing groups.
B. To build more hidden gems for spider monkeys in the forest.
C. To help spider monkeys find more good places to get food.

In Fort Worth, young Meals on Wheels driver Dzivak was making his usual rounds when something unexpected happened. Inside a home, an elderly woman known as Ms. Lana was in serious ____21____. Suffering from a diabetic episode (糖尿病急性发作), she fell down in the kitchen and couldn’t move. ____22____, her phone was right beside her. When her doorbell camera app told her that Dzivak was there, she used it to ask for help.
Through the doorbell, she ____23____ him quickly what was happening. “She was giving me the code (密码) and saying she was gonna die, and please call 911,” Dzivak said. He ____24____ action at once without thinking twice — calling emergency services and staying with her. Less than five minutes later, the rescuers arrived and helped her get better. “If he hadn’t come, I would’ve died,” she said.
Just weeks after turning 19, Dzivak is one of the ____25____ volunteers serving Meals on Wheels. But on this day, his role became something much bigger than delivering (派送) food. “I was very happy I got there just in time, because I don’t know what would’ve happened if I had ____26____ later,” he said.
The experience has left a lasting ____27____ on both of them, and it has built a special connection. For Dzivak, it also made him more ____28____ that helping others is great. “It’s amazing to make a ____29____ to others,” he said.

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述年轻志愿者Dzivak送餐时,通过门铃摄像头发现突发疾病的老人,及时拨打急救电话挽救其生命的感人故事。
【21题详解】
句意:在一所房子里,一位名叫Lana女士的老年妇女正处于严重的困境之中。
根据后文“Suffering from a diabetic episode (糖尿病急性发作), she fell down in the kitchen and couldn’t move.”可知,老人突发疾病摔倒无法动弹,正处于困境中。in serious trouble为固定搭配,意为“处于严重的困境中”,符合语境;interest“兴趣”、peace“和平”均与语境不符。
【22题详解】
句意:幸运的是,她的手机就在她身边。
结合前文老人倒地无法动弹的处境,手边有手机便于求救,实属万幸。Luckily“幸运地”契合语境;Usually“通常”、Suddenly“突然”均不符合文意。
【23题详解】
句意:通过门铃,她快速告诉他发生了什么事。
由后文老人告知密码、求助求救的内容可知,她向对方讲明自身状况。told“告诉”符合语境;asked“询问”、promised“承诺”均不合适。
【24题详解】
句意:他不假思索立刻采取行动,拨打急救电话并守在老人身旁。
take action是固定短语,意思是“采取行动”,此处用过去式took。stopped“停止”、avoided“避免”和场景表意相悖。
【25题详解】
句意:刚年满19岁没多久的Dzivak,是送餐公益项目里最年轻的志愿者之一。
依据前文年龄信息,能判断他年纪偏小。youngest“最年轻的”贴合句意;oldest“最年长的”、busiest“最忙碌的”不符合描述。
【26题详解】
句意:“我庆幸自己及时赶到,不敢设想若是晚些现身,后果不堪设想。” 他说。
此处表达抵达露面的含义,shown up“出现,露面”符合语境;woken up“醒来”、cleaned up“打扫”与句意无关。
【27题详解】
句意:这段经历给二人留下了深刻的影响,也让彼此缔结了特殊情谊。
leave a lasting influence on为固定用法,意为“给……留下持久影响”。gift“礼物”、mark“印记”均不符合表达逻辑。
【28题详解】
句意:这次经历也让他更加坚信,帮助他人是一件美好的事。
亲身救人的经历让他笃定助人的意义。sure“确信的”符合心境;afraid“害怕的”、doubtful“怀疑的”语义不符。
【29题详解】
句意:“能给他人带去改变,是一件十分美好的事。” 他说。
make a difference是固定搭配,意为“产生影响,带来改变”。promise“承诺”、living“生计”均不匹配句式含义。
【30题详解】
句意:他机敏的反应不止送出一份餐食,更是挽救了一条生命。
结合老人险些遇险的情节,此次举动挽回性命。saved“拯救,挽救”贴合主旨;changed“改变”、improved“改善”表意不到位。

第三部分 写作(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共5小题;满分10分)
阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题,并将答案写到答题卡的相应位置。
New research suggests that some smart dogs can learn new words in a similar way to young children.
A study in the journal Science shows that 18-month-old kids learn the names of things by listening to adults’ conversations. They do this by watching the speakers’ eye movements, catching communication signals (信号) and getting key words from what people say.
Researchers from a university in Hungary wanted to find out if “gifted” dogs — those that can learn toy names — could pick up new words just by listening. In the first test, 10 gifted dogs learned two new toy names in only eight minutes. Their owners taught them directly, and seven of them could successfully find and bring the toys when asked.
Then came the “overheard” test (旁听测试). Owners talked about new toys while passing them to each other, but they didn’t look at or talk to their dogs. The dogs were kept behind safety gates or in cages (笼子), so they couldn’t touch the toys. Surprisingly, seven out of 10 dogs still recognized the toys correctly. And six of them were among the same dogs that performed well in the first experiment.
The researchers pointed out that this ability is rare (罕见的). It only belongs to “Gifted Word Learner” dogs, like Border Collies. Ordinary dogs can’t do this. The findings suggest that dogs’ human-like learning skills developed before language, so living with humans has helped dogs ________________.
