A
Once considered a gateway to hell, the Central America Volcanic Arc is now a playground for volcano enthusiasts from around the world. Whether you tackle several volcanoes on a single trip or take them on one by one, these four volcanoes in Central America are ready for adventurers to explore.
The Santa Ana Volcano in El Salvador
The Santa Ana Volcano, also known as Ilamatepec, is the highest volcano in El Salvador. Standing at 7812ft above sea level, it’s the third-highest point in the country. Santa Ana’s crater is one of the largest in the world. Guided tours are mandatory for a popular four-hour hike to the summit that offers stunning views of Lake Coatepeque and the Pacific Ocean.
Volcán Rincón de la Vieja in Costa Rica
Situated in a 54 sq mile national park, the expansive Volcán Rincón de la Vieja, which translates to “old lady’s nook”, is an hour and a half from the town of Liberia. Eruptions in 2021 have closed off hikes to the 6217ft summit. There are shorter hiking loops around the park and to other peaks in the region, such as Volcán Santa Maria, which measures 6286ft.
Barú Volcano in Panama
Located in the Chiriqui Highlands, the dormant (休眠的) volcano and its seven craters are a birdwatching paradise. About 250 species of birds call Parque Nacional Volcán Barú home, including the elusive quetzal. The hike takes 10 to 12 hours. A popular option for experienced hikers is to start a guided ascent at night so that you arrive at dawn and enjoy stunning views at sunrise. The dry season(February to April)is the best time to go.
Cerro Negro in Nicaragua
Just 160 years old, Cerro Negro is the youngest volcano in Central America. Reaching heights of 2388ft, the Nicaraguan volcano located just outside of Leon is one of the most active in the region. But that hasn’t stopped a growing subset of people from hopping on specially designed boards and speeding down the black gravel slopes. Volcano surfing(or volcano surfing)is exactly what it sounds like, trading out the water for rocks and ocean spray for plumes of ash. It’s a perfect combination of pure joy and what most parents would call complete stupidity. Several agencies in the area offer tours to hike and surf the volcano.
1. Which activity is unique in Barú Volcano?
A. Surfing. B. Birdwatching. C. Hiking. D. Swimming.
2. Which place is recommended for racing down slopes?
A. Barú Volcano in Panama B. Cerro Negro in Nicaragua
C. The Santa Ana Volcano in El Salvador D. Volcán Rincón de la Vieja in Costa Rica
3. What do the four volcanoes in Central America have in common?
A. They offer the stunning sunset. B. They are situated in national parks.
C. They are suitable for hikers. D. They are full of pure joy.
【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了中美洲火山弧四座各具特色的火山,分别介绍了它们的地理位置、海拔、特色活动及游览注意事项等,展现了这些火山成为火山爱好者探险胜地的原因。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Barú Volcano in Panama部分中的“Located in the Chiriqui Highlands, the dormant volcano and its seven craters are a birdwatching paradise.(这座休眠火山位于奇里基高地,其七个火山口是观鸟的天堂)”可知,巴鲁火山的独特活动是观鸟。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Cerro Negro in Nicaragua部分中的“But that hasn’t stopped a growing subset of people from hopping on specially designed boards and speeding down the black gravel slopes. Volcano surfing is exactly what it sounds like, trading out the water for rocks and ocean spray for plumes of ash. It’s a perfect combination of pure joy and what most parents would call complete stupidity.(但这丝毫挡不住越来越多的人踏上特制滑板,从漆黑的砾石山坡上疾驰而下。火山冲浪,顾名思义,就是把海水换成嶙峋岩石,把海浪的水花换成火山的灰烬烟尘。这种体验,是纯粹的快乐,与在大多数父母眼中彻头彻尾的莽撞,完美交织在一起)”可知,尼加拉瓜的塞罗内格罗火山有火山冲浪的特色活动,是适合沿山坡疾驰而下体验火山冲浪的地点。故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Santa Ana Volcano in El Salvador部分中的“Guided tours are mandatory for a popular four-hour hike to the summit that offers stunning views of Lake Coatepeque and the Pacific Ocean.(前往山顶的热门四小时徒步路线必须有向导陪同,沿途能欣赏到科特佩克湖和太平洋的绝美风光)”、Volcán Rincón de la Vieja in Costa Rica部分中的“There are shorter hiking loops around the park and to other peaks in the region, such as Volcán Santa Maria, which measures 6286ft.(公园周边及前往该区域其他山峰的路段设有短途徒步环线,比如海拔6286英尺的圣玛丽亚火山)”、Barú Volcano in Panama部分中的“The hike takes 10 to 12 hours. A popular option for experienced hikers is to start a guided ascent at night so that you arrive at dawn and enjoy stunning views at sunrise.(这段徒步行程耗时10至12小时,对于经验丰富的徒步者来说,一个热门选择是在夜间开启有向导陪同的攀登,以便在黎明时分抵达,欣赏日出的绝美景色)”以及Cerro Negro in Nicaragua部分中的“Several agencies in the area offer tours to hike and surf the volcano.(该地区有多家机构提供徒步并冲浪这座火山的游览项目)”可知,四座火山均明确提及有对应的徒步路线、徒步项目或徒步游览方式,因此四座火山的共同特征是均适合徒步旅行者前往体验。故选C。
B
When I first came across Hirano, he didn’t really stand out to me. He was among several figurines (小塑像) put in a corner of Pop Mart’s studio. Little did I know that was the beginning of a connection I had yet to realize.
It wasn’t until I joined Pop Mart as a livestream host last July — part of my job was to familiarize myself with every IP in the company — that my true journey with Hirono began.
As I introduced Hirono to others, I began to appreciate the quiet charm hidden in his world. His expression is always sullen — drooping eyes, slouched posture, an almost “untouchable” aura. Not the cutest or most eye-catching look, I would say, but I came to realize that it’s all a protective shell.
In him, I saw a reflection of myself: the loneliness and confusion that surface under life’s pressure, and the indifferent masks we sometimes put on to cope with reality. Though I am usually an extrovert, cheerful and bubbly on the outside, the truth is that every story carries untold chapters. Through Hirono, I allow myself to feel the vast wilderness I rarely reach in my heart, and often I see my own emotions projected onto his figure.
One of my favorite series of Hirono is definitely “Echo”. As a foreign student in China, homesickness quietly lingers in the background of my life. This series reminds me that these echoes of the past are not just fleeting shadows, but silent companions that resurface when I need them most, giving me strength and allowing me to break free from the weight of reality, even just for a moment. To me, Hirono is a friend who teaches me to embrace both the loneliness and the light within.
Working at Pop Mart has shown me that these toys are not merely figurines, but little “happy pills” that lift spirits and brighten days. Perhaps that is why Hirono continues to live in the hearts of so many young people — not only as a collectible, but as a gentle reminder that we are never truly alone.
4. What made me become interested in Hirono?
A. My first encounter with Pop Mart. B. My experience as a foreign student.
C. My appreciation for its eye-catching look. D. My opportunity to work with Pop Mart.
5. How did I resonate with Hirono?
A. Their true selves were hidden from others. B. They wore cheerful looks on their faces.
C. They were indifferent to the reality. D. They were protected by their followers.
6. Why is “Echo” my favorite series?
A. It offers me a permanent escape from reality.
B. It symbolizes the rebellious spirit of the youth.
C. It makes me feel nostalgic for my hometown.
D. It empowers me to get away from life pressure.
7. What’s my purpose of writing this passage?
A. To share a philosophy of life taught by Hirono.
B. To promote the sales of figurines in Pop Mart.
C. To increase the exposure of Hirono in the media.
D. To tell how to choose favorite toys in Pop Mart.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与泡泡玛特角色Hirono结缘并从中获得人生感悟。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It wasn’t until I joined Pop Mart as a livestream host last July — part of my job was to familiarize myself with every IP in the company — that my true journey with Hirono began.(直到去年7月我加入泡泡玛特成为一名直播主持人——我的部分工作是熟悉公司里的每一个IP——我才真正开始了与Hirono的旅程)”可知,作者加入泡泡玛特,有机会接触并熟悉Hirono,这使作者对Hirono产生了兴趣。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In him, I saw a reflection of myself: the loneliness and confusion that surface under life’s pressure, and the indifferent masks we sometimes put on to cope with reality. Though I am usually an extrovert, cheerful and bubbly on the outside, the truth is that every story carries untold chapters. Through Hirono, I allow myself to feel the vast wilderness I rarely reach in my heart, and often I see my own emotions projected onto his figure.(在他身上,我看到了自己的影子:在生活压力下浮现的孤独和困惑,以及我们有时为了应对现实而戴上的冷漠面具。虽然我通常是一个外向的人,外表开朗活泼,但事实是,每个故事都有不为人知的篇章。通过Hirono,我让自己感受到心中很少触及的广阔荒野,而且我常常看到自己的情感投射到他的形象上)”可知,作者和Hirono的共鸣之处在于他们都将真实的自我隐藏起来,不让别人看到。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“One of my favorite series of Hirono is definitely ‘Echo’. As a foreign student in China, homesickness quietly lingers in the background of my life. This series reminds me that these echoes of the past are not just fleeting shadows, but silent companions that resurface when I need them most, giving me strength and allowing me to break free from the weight of reality, even just for a moment.(我最喜欢的Hirono系列之一肯定是“Echo”。作为一名在中国的留学生,思乡之情悄悄地萦绕在我的生活背景中。这个系列提醒我,过去的这些回声不仅仅是转瞬即逝的影子,而是无声的伴侣,它们在我最需要的时候重新出现,给我力量,让我摆脱现实的压力,哪怕只是一瞬间)”可知,“Echo”系列让作者感受到力量,摆脱现实压力,所以作者最喜欢这个系列。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Working at Pop Mart has shown me that these toys are not merely figurines, but little ‘happy pills’ that lift spirits and brighten days. Perhaps that is why Hirono continues to live in the hearts of so many young people — not only as a collectible, but as a gentle reminder that we are never truly alone.(在泡泡玛特工作让我明白,这些玩具不仅仅是小塑像,而是能振奋精神、点亮生活的小“快乐药丸”。也许这就是为什么Hirono继续活在许多年轻人的心中——它不仅仅是一件收藏品,更是一个温柔的提醒,提醒我们永远不是真正的孤独)”以及全文内容可知,作者通过讲述自己与Hirono的故事,分享了Hirono所传达的生活哲学,即要拥抱内心的孤独和光明,我们永远不会真正孤独。故选A。
C
If you read just one book in 2025, you belong to an endangered species. According to a recent survey, fewer than half of Americans had read a single book in the past year. As the population of readers declines, educators have been worrying about this trend. Now, some try a new method: persuading people to read to save their community spirit. They argue that reflective reading helps citizens handle complexity and recover attention.
The problem with these arguments is that they misunderstand why people become readers. Telling someone to love literature because it is good for society is like telling someone to believe in God because religion is good for social stability. It is a practical argument for something that should be a personal passion. Instead of describing reading as a public duty, it should be seen as a private pleasure — even a “vice” (恶习).
Historically, when literature was considered dangerous or “bad”, moralists could not stop people from buying books. Now, when books are seen as virtuous and educational, those same moralists cannot persuade anyone to pick one up. By making reading a “must-do” task for self-improvement, we have taken away its primary attraction: the thrill of doing something for its own sake, rather than for its usefulness.
In fact, becoming a reader means cultivating a relationship with the world that seems counterproductive. Reading is “unprofitable”; it does not teach transferable skills or provide networking opportunities. It is, in a sense, an anti-social activity. You turn your back on the real world to enter an imaginary one. Yet, it is precisely this “uselessness” that makes reading powerful. It offers an inner freedom that cannot be measured by social value. If we want to save reading, we should stop praising its benefits and start celebrating its delightful worthlessness.
8. What is the educators’ real purpose in using the new method?
A. To strengthen social stability. B. To fulfill social duties.
C. To handle complex problems. D. To stop the decline in reading.
9. What does the author think of the “practical argument”?
A. It is quite convincing. B. It is socially responsible.
C. It is practically ineffective. D. It is morally wrong.
10. What can we infer about reading from the last paragraph?
A. It helps readers avoid social duties. B. It functions as a tool for networking.
C. Its power comes from its lack of profit. D. Its value lies in creating a better world.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Benefit of Social Reading B. Reading: A Duty or a Vice?
C. How to Build Inner Freedom D. The Decline of American Literature
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。调查显示美国人读书人数减少,教育者试图以社会责任劝人阅读。作者认为这无效,阅读的魅力在于其“无用”与内在乐趣,而非功利价值。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“As the population of readers declines, educators have been worrying about this trend. Now, some try a new method: persuading people to read to save their community spirit.(随着读者数量的减少,教育工作者们一直对这一趋势感到担忧。如今,一些人尝试了一种新的方法:通过劝说人们阅读来维护他们的社区精神)”可知,教育者采用这种新方法的真正目的是阻止阅读水平的下降。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The problem with these arguments is that they misunderstand why people become readers. Telling someone to love literature because it is good for society is like telling someone to believe in God because religion is good for social stability. It is a practical argument for something that should be a personal passion. Instead of describing reading as a public duty, it should be seen as a private pleasure — even a “vice”(恶习).(这些论点存在的问题在于,它们误解了人们成为读者的原因。比如,告诉某人要热爱文学,因为文学对社会有益,这就好比告诉某人要信仰上帝,因为宗教对社会的稳定有好处。这是一种针对某种应属个人热爱之事的实用论点,但实际上它应该被视为一种个人的愉悦——甚至可以视为一种“恶习”。而不是将阅读描述为一种公共责任)”可知,作者认为“实用论点”实际上毫无效果。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Reading is “unprofitable”; it does not teach transferable skills or provide networking opportunities. It is, in a sense, an anti-social activity. You turn your back on the real world to enter an imaginary one. Yet, it is precisely this “uselessness” that makes reading powerful.(阅读“无利可图”;它既无法传授实用技能,也无法提供社交机会。从某种意义上说,阅读是一种反社会的行为。你将自己与现实世界隔离开来,进入一个虚构的世界。然而,正是这种“无用性”使得阅读具有强大的力量)”可知,阅读的力量源于其无利可图性。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“It is a practical argument for something that should be a personal passion. Instead of describing reading as a public duty, it should be seen as a private pleasure — even a “vice”(恶习).(这是一种针对某种应属个人热爱之事的实用论点,但实际上它应该被视为一种个人的愉悦——甚至可以视为一种“恶习”。而不是将阅读描述为一种公共责任)”结合文章主要说明了调查显示美国人读书人数减少,教育者试图以社会责任劝人阅读。作者认为这无效,阅读的魅力在于其“无用”与内在乐趣,而非功利价值。可知,B选项“阅读:一种责任还是恶习?”最符合文章标题。故选B。
D
Until recently, the conventional wisdom about building muscles was the “tear and repair” system — the idea that working out causes microtears in muscle fibers, which trigger repair and growth, encouraging the muscles to come back bigger and stronger. This led many to believe in the “no gain without pain” philosophy. However, current science suggests that while muscle damage contributes, it is not the primary factor.
Dr. Anne Brady, a specialist in muscle quality, explains that the primary driver of muscle growth is mechanical tension. When you lift heavy weights or perform repetitions to near-failure, physical tension stretches the muscle cell membranes (细胞膜). From there, that stretch is detected by specialized sensors, which then signal the body to build new protein to make fibers thicker and stronger. Another driver is metabolic stress — the “burn” you feel — which creates a favorable environment for growth, but not enough on its own.
Interestingly, this growth process does not always yield a uniform result. For example, Olympic weightlifters can move enormous weights without jumping up a weight category, while some bodybuilders have large muscles but less functional power. Dr. Brady and her team then conducted a study where young men working out for six weeks on a high-volume weightlifting program got bigger without necessarily getting much stronger. This happens because, according to Dr. Brady’s research, training can target different types of growth: one adds more “contracting units” to increase strength, while the other mainly increases the fluid volume inside the muscle to add size.
Combining these findings, Dr. Brady advises trainees not to “major in the minor” by obsessing over pain or pushing to absolute limits. Instead, the most effective approach is “progressive overload”: gradually increasing the work through more repetitions or heavier weights. By working to near-failure rather than total exhaustion, you can achieve a balance of strength and size over time.
12. What can be inferred from the “no gain without pain” philosophy in Para.1?
A. It values physical comfort.
B. It speeds up muscle fiber recovery.
C. It remains the most effective training method.
D. It reflects the idea of repairing tiny muscle tears.
13. What triggers the signal for the body to build new muscle protein?
A. Repetitions performed to near-failure.
B. The thickening of specialized tension sensors.
C. The detection of stretched muscle cell membranes.
D. The favorable environment created by metabolic stress.
14. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Different types of muscle growth.
B. Benefits of high-volume weightlifting.
C. Reasons for Olympic athletes’ success.
D. Relationships between size and power.
15. What is Dr. Brady’s advice on muscle building?
A. To focus on the fluid in muscles.
B. To add training loads step by step.
C. To seek pain and total exhaustion.
D. To balance muscle strength and size.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍肌肉生长的科学原理,纠正传统观念,并提出循序渐进的科学增肌建议。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Until recently, the conventional wisdom about building muscles was the “tear and repair” system — the idea that working out causes microtears in muscle fibers, which trigger repair and growth, encouraging the muscles to come back bigger and stronger. This led many to believe in the “no gain without pain” philosophy. (直到最近,关于增肌的传统认知是“撕裂与修复”机制——即锻炼会造成肌肉纤维微小撕裂,进而引发修复与生长,让肌肉变得更大更强壮。这让许多人信奉“不劳无获”的理念)”可知,该理念反映了通过修复微小肌肉撕裂来增肌的观点。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When you lift heavy weights or perform repetitions to near-failure, physical tension stretches the muscle cell membranes (细胞膜). From there, that stretch is detected by specialized sensors, which then signal the body to build new protein to make fibers thicker and stronger. (当你举起重物或接近力竭地重复动作时,物理张力会拉伸肌肉细胞膜。随后,这种拉伸被特殊传感器感知,进而向身体发出信号,合成新蛋白质使纤维更粗更强)”可知,对拉伸的肌肉细胞膜的感知触发了身体合成新肌肉蛋白质的信号。故选C项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“This happens because, according to Dr. Brady’s research, training can target different types of growth: one adds more “contracting units” to increase strength, while the other mainly increases the fluid volume inside the muscle to add size. (根据布雷迪博士的研究,出现这种情况是因为训练可以针对不同类型的生长:一种增加更多“收缩单元”以提升力量,另一种主要增加肌肉内部液体量以增大体积)”可知,本段主要介绍不同类型的肌肉生长。故选A项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Instead, the most effective approach is “progressive overload”: gradually increasing the work through more repetitions or heavier weights. (相反,最有效的方法是“渐进超负荷”:通过增加重复次数或负重逐步提升训练量)”可知,布雷迪博士关于增肌的建议是逐步增加训练负荷。故选B项。

【41题详解】
考查独立主格结构。句意:在访问期间,马克龙在该校图书馆的特色藏书室停留了很长时间,他的注意力主要集中在18世纪法国传教士绘制的《四川全图》手稿上。Maoron是linger动作的发出者,所以用现在分词形式。故填lingering。

47. 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。
It was early autumn. I decided to go hiking and camping in a nearby mountain forest with my two good friends, Alice and Jason. We were all adventure enthusiasts, eager to embrace the refreshing natural scenery. After weeks of busy daily routines, we truly welcomed the chance to enjoy nature and relax outdoors.
The three of us made a perfect team despite our different personalities. Alice, the only girl in our group, was careful, thoughtful and well-prepared. She had brought along a compass (指南针), a detailed trail map, and even a first-aid kit for emergencies. As for me, I was fairly cautious, always keeping an eye on our surroundings. Jason, by contrast, was bold and impulsive (冲动的), always eager to explore further.
After arriving at the quiet campsite surrounded by tall pine trees, we pitched our tents together, gathered dry firewood, and prepared a simple outdoor meal. After lunch, we started our exploration. We planned to follow a winding trail leading up the hillside. According to Alice’s research, there was a hidden lookout point on the hill that offered a stunning view of the entire valley.
As we walked, Jason kept running ahead impatiently, shouting for us to quicken our pace. “Let’s see what’s up there!” he called out excitedly. Alice followed closely behind, focusing on checking the map to confirm our route. I walked at a steady speed at the end, ensuring we stayed together.
The path grew narrower as we climbed higher. Sunlight filtered through the thick branches above, casting faint shadows on the ground. After about an hour’s walk, we reached a leaf-covered rocky area. The trail began to twist more than expected, and many landmarks we passed didn't match what was on the map.
“I think the viewpoint is just beyond this slope,” Jason said, pointing to the front with great excitement. I looked at the slippery slope with uncertainty. “Let’s be careful. It looks really slippery and risky.” But before Alice and I could hold him back, Jason had already rushed forward and started climbing the slope alone.
注意:
续写词数应为150左右;
请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just as he reached the top of the slope, his foot slipped.

With the first aid finished, we realized a new challenge: how to get back.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文:
Paragraph 1:
Just as he reached the top of the slope, his foot slipped. Before we could react, Jason tumbled down the slope and let out a painful groan. Alice and I rushed to him immediately, filled with panic. Fortunately, he was not seriously hurt, but his left ankle was badly sprained and swollen. Calm and composed, Alice quickly took out the first-aid kit from her backpack. She gently helped Jason sit up, cleaned his injured ankle, and skillfully wrapped it with bandages. I comforted Jason constantly and told him to stay calm and save his strength. Thanks to Alice’s proper treatment, the pain gradually eased a little.
Paragraph 2:
With the first aid finished, we realized a new challenge: how to get back. Jason could barely walk on his own, and we had completely lost our way in the twisted forest trail. Remembering survival tips, I picked up tall branches to help Jason walk and support his weight. Meanwhile, Alice carefully checked the compass and compared it with the map, correcting our wrong route step by step. We walked slowly and cautiously, taking turns to encourage each other. After nearly two hours of tough walking, we finally spotted the familiar campsite. Though exhausted, we learned a valuable lesson: caution always matters most in outdoor adventures.

A
Once considered a gateway to hell, the Central America Volcanic Arc is now a playground for volcano enthusiasts from around the world. Whether you tackle several volcanoes on a single trip or take them on one by one, these four volcanoes in Central America are ready for adventurers to explore.
The Santa Ana Volcano in El Salvador
The Santa Ana Volcano, also known as Ilamatepec, is the highest volcano in El Salvador. Standing at 7812ft above sea level, it’s the third-highest point in the country. Santa Ana’s crater is one of the largest in the world. Guided tours are mandatory for a popular four-hour hike to the summit that offers stunning views of Lake Coatepeque and the Pacific Ocean.
Volcán Rincón de la Vieja in Costa Rica
Situated in a 54 sq mile national park, the expansive Volcán Rincón de la Vieja, which translates to “old lady’s nook”, is an hour and a half from the town of Liberia. Eruptions in 2021 have closed off hikes to the 6217ft summit. There are shorter hiking loops around the park and to other peaks in the region, such as Volcán Santa Maria, which measures 6286ft.
Barú Volcano in Panama
Located in the Chiriqui Highlands, the dormant (休眠的) volcano and its seven craters are a birdwatching paradise. About 250 species of birds call Parque Nacional Volcán Barú home, including the elusive quetzal. The hike takes 10 to 12 hours. A popular option for experienced hikers is to start a guided ascent at night so that you arrive at dawn and enjoy stunning views at sunrise. The dry season(February to April)is the best time to go.
Cerro Negro in Nicaragua
Just 160 years old, Cerro Negro is the youngest volcano in Central America. Reaching heights of 2388ft, the Nicaraguan volcano located just outside of Leon is one of the most active in the region. But that hasn’t stopped a growing subset of people from hopping on specially designed boards and speeding down the black gravel slopes. Volcano surfing(or volcano surfing)is exactly what it sounds like, trading out the water for rocks and ocean spray for plumes of ash. It’s a perfect combination of pure joy and what most parents would call complete stupidity. Several agencies in the area offer tours to hike and surf the volcano.
1. Which activity is unique in Barú Volcano?
A. Surfing. B. Birdwatching. C. Hiking. D. Swimming.
2. Which place is recommended for racing down slopes?
A. Barú Volcano in Panama B. Cerro Negro in Nicaragua
C. The Santa Ana Volcano in El Salvador D. Volcán Rincón de la Vieja in Costa Rica
3. What do the four volcanoes in Central America have in common?
A. They offer the stunning sunset. B. They are situated in national parks.
C. They are suitable for hikers. D. They are full of pure joy.
B
When I first came across Hirano, he didn’t really stand out to me. He was among several figurines (小塑像) put in a corner of Pop Mart’s studio. Little did I know that was the beginning of a connection I had yet to realize.
It wasn’t until I joined Pop Mart as a livestream host last July — part of my job was to familiarize myself with every IP in the company — that my true journey with Hirono began.
As I introduced Hirono to others, I began to appreciate the quiet charm hidden in his world. His expression is always sullen — drooping eyes, slouched posture, an almost “untouchable” aura. Not the cutest or most eye-catching look, I would say, but I came to realize that it’s all a protective shell.
In him, I saw a reflection of myself: the loneliness and confusion that surface under life’s pressure, and the indifferent masks we sometimes put on to cope with reality. Though I am usually an extrovert, cheerful and bubbly on the outside, the truth is that every story carries untold chapters. Through Hirono, I allow myself to feel the vast wilderness I rarely reach in my heart, and often I see my own emotions projected onto his figure.
One of my favorite series of Hirono is definitely “Echo”. As a foreign student in China, homesickness quietly lingers in the background of my life. This series reminds me that these echoes of the past are not just fleeting shadows, but silent companions that resurface when I need them most, giving me strength and allowing me to break free from the weight of reality, even just for a moment. To me, Hirono is a friend who teaches me to embrace both the loneliness and the light within.
Working at Pop Mart has shown me that these toys are not merely figurines, but little “happy pills” that lift spirits and brighten days. Perhaps that is why Hirono continues to live in the hearts of so many young people — not only as a collectible, but as a gentle reminder that we are never truly alone.
4. What made me become interested in Hirono?
A. My first encounter with Pop Mart. B. My experience as a foreign student.
C. My appreciation for its eye-catching look. D. My opportunity to work with Pop Mart.
5. How did I resonate with Hirono?
A. Their true selves were hidden from others. B. They wore cheerful looks on their faces.
C. They were indifferent to the reality. D. They were protected by their followers.
6. Why is “Echo” my favorite series?
A. It offers me a permanent escape from reality.
B. It symbolizes the rebellious spirit of the youth.
C. It makes me feel nostalgic for my hometown.
D. It empowers me to get away from life pressure.
7. What’s my purpose of writing this passage?
A. To share a philosophy of life taught by Hirono.
B. To promote the sales of figurines in Pop Mart.
C. To increase the exposure of Hirono in the media.
D. To tell how to choose favorite toys in Pop Mart.
C
If you read just one book in 2025, you belong to an endangered species. According to a recent survey, fewer than half of Americans had read a single book in the past year. As the population of readers declines, educators have been worrying about this trend. Now, some try a new method: persuading people to read to save their community spirit. They argue that reflective reading helps citizens handle complexity and recover attention.
The problem with these arguments is that they misunderstand why people become readers. Telling someone to love literature because it is good for society is like telling someone to believe in God because religion is good for social stability. It is a practical argument for something that should be a personal passion. Instead of describing reading as a public duty, it should be seen as a private pleasure — even a “vice” (恶习).
Historically, when literature was considered dangerous or “bad”, moralists could not stop people from buying books. Now, when books are seen as virtuous and educational, those same moralists cannot persuade anyone to pick one up. By making reading a “must-do” task for self-improvement, we have taken away its primary attraction: the thrill of doing something for its own sake, rather than for its usefulness.
In fact, becoming a reader means cultivating a relationship with the world that seems counterproductive. Reading is “unprofitable”; it does not teach transferable skills or provide networking opportunities. It is, in a sense, an anti-social activity. You turn your back on the real world to enter an imaginary one. Yet, it is precisely this “uselessness” that makes reading powerful. It offers an inner freedom that cannot be measured by social value. If we want to save reading, we should stop praising its benefits and start celebrating its delightful worthlessness.
8. What is the educators’ real purpose in using the new method?
A. To strengthen social stability. B. To fulfill social duties.
C. To handle complex problems. D. To stop the decline in reading.
9. What does the author think of the “practical argument”?
A. It is quite convincing. B. It is socially responsible.
C. It is practically ineffective. D. It is morally wrong.
10. What can we infer about reading from the last paragraph?
A. It helps readers avoid social duties. B. It functions as a tool for networking.
C. Its power comes from its lack of profit. D. Its value lies in creating a better world.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Benefit of Social Reading B. Reading: A Duty or a Vice?
C. How to Build Inner Freedom D. The Decline of American Literature
D
Until recently, the conventional wisdom about building muscles was the “tear and repair” system — the idea that working out causes microtears in muscle fibers, which trigger repair and growth, encouraging the muscles to come back bigger and stronger. This led many to believe in the “no gain without pain” philosophy. However, current science suggests that while muscle damage contributes, it is not the primary factor.
Dr. Anne Brady, a specialist in muscle quality, explains that the primary driver of muscle growth is mechanical tension. When you lift heavy weights or perform repetitions to near-failure, physical tension stretches the muscle cell membranes (细胞膜). From there, that stretch is detected by specialized sensors, which then signal the body to build new protein to make fibers thicker and stronger. Another driver is metabolic stress — the “burn” you feel — which creates a favorable environment for growth, but not enough on its own.
Interestingly, this growth process does not always yield a uniform result. For example, Olympic weightlifters can move enormous weights without jumping up a weight category, while some bodybuilders have large muscles but less functional power. Dr. Brady and her team then conducted a study where young men working out for six weeks on a high-volume weightlifting program got bigger without necessarily getting much stronger. This happens because, according to Dr. Brady’s research, training can target different types of growth: one adds more “contracting units” to increase strength, while the other mainly increases the fluid volume inside the muscle to add size.
Combining these findings, Dr. Brady advises trainees not to “major in the minor” by obsessing over pain or pushing to absolute limits. Instead, the most effective approach is “progressive overload”: gradually increasing the work through more repetitions or heavier weights. By working to near-failure rather than total exhaustion, you can achieve a balance of strength and size over time.
12. What can be inferred from the “no gain without pain” philosophy in Para.1?
A. It values physical comfort.
B. It speeds up muscle fiber recovery.
C. It remains the most effective training method.
D. It reflects the idea of repairing tiny muscle tears.
13. What triggers the signal for the body to build new muscle protein?
A. Repetitions performed to near-failure.
B. The thickening of specialized tension sensors.
C. The detection of stretched muscle cell membranes.
D. The favorable environment created by metabolic stress.
14. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Different types of muscle growth.
B. Benefits of high-volume weightlifting.
C. Reasons for Olympic athletes’ success.
D. Relationships between size and power.
15. What is Dr. Brady’s advice on muscle building?
A. To focus on the fluid in muscles.
B. To add training loads step by step.
C. To seek pain and total exhaustion.
D. To balance muscle strength and size.

47. 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。
It was early autumn. I decided to go hiking and camping in a nearby mountain forest with my two good friends, Alice and Jason. We were all adventure enthusiasts, eager to embrace the refreshing natural scenery. After weeks of busy daily routines, we truly welcomed the chance to enjoy nature and relax outdoors.
The three of us made a perfect team despite our different personalities. Alice, the only girl in our group, was careful, thoughtful and well-prepared. She had brought along a compass (指南针), a detailed trail map, and even a first-aid kit for emergencies. As for me, I was fairly cautious, always keeping an eye on our surroundings. Jason, by contrast, was bold and impulsive (冲动的), always eager to explore further.
After arriving at the quiet campsite surrounded by tall pine trees, we pitched our tents together, gathered dry firewood, and prepared a simple outdoor meal. After lunch, we started our exploration. We planned to follow a winding trail leading up the hillside. According to Alice’s research, there was a hidden lookout point on the hill that offered a stunning view of the entire valley.
As we walked, Jason kept running ahead impatiently, shouting for us to quicken our pace. “Let’s see what’s up there!” he called out excitedly. Alice followed closely behind, focusing on checking the map to confirm our route. I walked at a steady speed at the end, ensuring we stayed together.
The path grew narrower as we climbed higher. Sunlight filtered through the thick branches above, casting faint shadows on the ground. After about an hour’s walk, we reached a leaf-covered rocky area. The trail began to twist more than expected, and many landmarks we passed didn't match what was on the map.
“I think the viewpoint is just beyond this slope,” Jason said, pointing to the front with great excitement. I looked at the slippery slope with uncertainty. “Let’s be careful. It looks really slippery and risky.” But before Alice and I could hold him back, Jason had already rushed forward and started climbing the slope alone.
注意:
续写词数应为150左右;
请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just as he reached the top of the slope, his foot slipped.

With the first aid finished, we realized a new challenge: how to get back.
