Yours, Li Hua 续写：possible version Encouraged by his words,I began to change my attitude towards English leaming.I started to view English words and sentences not as boring symbols,but as vivid elements of art,just like my drawings.I took notes carefully in class and tried to read simple English stories after school.Whenever I met difficulties,I would turn to Mr.Frank for help,and he always guided me patiently.Gradually,I no longer felt confused in English classes. Instead,I truly started to enjoy learning the language and even became more willing to communicate with my classmates. "Why not draw a poster for the English drama show?"Mr.Frank said to me.Surprised and delighted,I nodded with a smile on my face.I devoted my spare time to designing the poster,combining my drawing skills with English words I had learned.When the poster was put up,many students praised it warmly.Some even came to talk with me about the drama show.This experience not only deepened my interest in English but also helped me make new friends.From then on,I became more confident and finally fit in the new school,all thanks to Mr Frank's kindness and encouragement. 听力原文 Text 1 M：You still take the noisy subway?

Text 10 Good evening,members of the town council and fellow residents.I'm Dr.Eric,and I'm the volunteer president of Green Wings,a local nature protection group.I'm here today to warn about the possible impact of the current design proposals for the new Circle Theater.We understand the need for development and welcome the creation of a new arts facility here in town.But it's important to consider how our choices will affect the many birds living in this area.Glass buildings are beautiful.But they are dangerous for birds because they can't see glass like we do.Indeed,they're often attracted closer by indoor lights or reflections of trees and the sky.Every year in the U.S.alone,more than a billion birds crash into glass,and most will die of their injuries.The good news is that these accidents are preventable.There are many ways to make buildings safer,from simple stickers to patterned glass.I'm not here to offer design solutions.But before the proposals can be approved,we must insist that measures are taken to ensure the safety of local wildlife.第一节听下面五段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。you take the noisy some way is much Better, even though IT gets crowded ded.

Volunteers help promote and improve the well-being of animals at the wildlife centre. VOLUNTEER ROLE & TYPICAL WORKDAY As a wildlife volunteer in Bali, you will rotate (轮换) across several of the projects and locations we work in, gaining a wide range of insights into the many ways volunteers can make an impact during their time on the program. While on the project, you will work alongside other staff members who have years of experience. Typical activities you will get involved in during your time as a volunteer in Bali Wildlife Centre include feeding, cleaning, daily care and so on. REQUIREMENTS To join the program, you need to be at least 15 years old and able to speak English at the intermediate (中级的) level. You should be physically fit, as volunteering overseas can be quite hard. If you have any health problems that may affect your participation, you must report them to us in your online application. As for the time commitment, volunteers are expected to work about 3-5 hours per day from Monday to Thursday, and Friday is optional but is encouraged. FREE TIME ACTIVITIES Participants generally volunteer on a Monday-Thursday basis and on the weekends are free to relax or travel around. The wider travel opportunity is extremely important to the whole experience and it is something we certainly recommend.

To contribute to the well-being of wild animals. 22. What is a specific requirement for volunteers? A. Reaching adulthood. B. Being in good condition. C. Being good at written English. D.

They can travel around during their free time. B The Grammys celebrate the best in music; but, behind every songwriter, performer, and producer that makes it to that stage are music teachers and educators who inspired them from a very young age. That’s why the Grammy Awards also hands out a Music Educator Award, which recognizes those who have made a significant contribution and demonstrate a commitment to music education. This year, the award went to Annie Ray, the performing arts department chair and orchestra (管弦乐队) director at Annandale High School in Fairfax County, Virginia—a community with many immigrants. With the creation of the Crescendo Orchestra, she works to make music accessible to all students, particularly those with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities. Additionally, she created a parent orchestra, in which 200 caregivers learn to play the same instrument as their child every year. Ray won a $10,000 prize and the same amount for her school’s music program. In an interview following the Merit Award ceremony, Ray credited her pupils for this recognition. “This is the students’ award,” she said. “I'm just lucky enough to have been a part of their journey and their process and to have been taught by them.” The educator also got to attend the main Grammy ceremony, where musicians and other celebrities approached Ray to praise her efforts. “I got to speak with Meryl Streep for a moment, and she told me that a music educator changed her life,” Ray said. “And that was really touching.” Now, Ray will use the prize money to buy instruments—something the school had struggled to do. She also plans to create an ongoing scholarship for students who want to become musicians and music educators when they graduate. For Ray, the moment appears to be full circle, since it was a music teacher who first changed her life at age 5, when she learned to play the harp (竖琴). “The reason why I am where I am is that a teacher changed my life and made me want to be a music educator,” she said. 24. Why does the Grammy set up the Music Educator Award? A. To praise excellent music teachers. B. To help musicians with financial problems. C. To show the importance of music education. D. To encourage people to work in the music industry. 25. How did Ray feel about winning the award? A. Relieved. B. Surprised. C. Grateful. D. Nervous. 26. Which of the following is true about Ray? A. She teaches music in a university. B. She received many awards before. C. She started to play the harp at the age of 5. D. She will offer a scholarship to any talented students. 27. What does the author want to convey in the text? A. Music education is very important. B. A good teacher can change one’s life. C. Ray has changed many students’ lives. D. Ray is a gifted and knowledgeable teacher. C In the UK, there are more and more sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and similar types of large cars on the streets. Cars are getting bigger, and that is a problem. It makes sense that larger cars are more dangerous if they run you over. Their fronts are taller than other cars’ and this is bad news for cyclists and pedestrians (行人) if one of these cars hits you. Cars are also getting wider — a trend known as “carspreading”. There is only so much road space, and more of it being taken up by cars means there is less of it for people cycling or using other modes of transport. The extra size of these cars also makes for more air pollution. Even if SUVs are electric, fine particles (颗粒) from tyres and brakes are now major sources of pollution in urban air. As SUVs are heavier than other cars, they tend to produce more tyre and brake particles, so we don’t see the same clean air benefits from electric SUVs as we do from smaller electric cars. So what can we do to make fewer of these large, dangerous, high-emission (高排放的) SUVs? Here are a few suggestions. There are now clean-air zones in some big cities. These stimulate people to think about pollution from older cars, although they aren’t directed at vehicle size. This is changing in the UK, however, as Cardiff Council in October approved plans to charge the owners of SUVs and larger cars more for residential parking permits. As well as parking regulations, national governments could consider changes to vehicle taxes, for instance, to encourage smaller cars. Taxing large vehicles more would be in line with their cost to society through road danger and pollution. Some people have reasons to need a larger car. But now that around half of new car sales are SUVs, we need to be clear about the dangers they bring. 28. What is a concern about large vehicles? A. They cause more traffic jams. B. They distract other road users. C. They block smaller cars from view. D. They increase injury risk in an accident. 29. How does the author explain the pollution problem of SUVs in Paragraph 3? A. By quoting experts’ opinions. B. By giving drivers’ personal stories. C. By providing statistics on vehicle pollution. D. By linking vehicle weight to particle pollution. 30. What approach is central to the suggested solutions? A. Increasing ownership costs. B. Upgrading parking facilities. C. Providing government funds. D. Launching media campaigns. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Going Electric B. Running Out of Road C. The Comeback of SUVs D. Why Cars Keep Getting Bigger D Rice, the world’s common staple food, is now being used to produce a life-saving medicine. Scientists at Healthgen Biotechnology, a Chinese company in Wuhan, Hubei province, are genetically engineering rice plants to create human serum albumin (HSA,人血清白蛋白), an important blood protein. HSA is the smallest but most common protein in blood. Produced by the liver, it helps keep the right balance of fluids (液体) between blood vessels (血管) and surrounding tissues. A lack of such proteins can cause serious medical problems. HSA is vital for treating burns, severe bleeding, and certain cancers. Traditionally, it comes from donated human blood, but supply is limited. In China, over 60% of HSA needed had to be imported. Yang Daicheng, founder of Healthgen, told China Daily, “We put human genes into the rice plant to produce HSA.” As the rice grows, HSA is made and stored in the seeds, which are then harvested to derive the protein. This approach, known as molecular farming (分子农业), turns rice into a “protein factory”. This technology offers key advantages. It does not depend on blood donations, avoiding any risk of spreading viruses from donors. It is also cost-effective because increasing production simply means planting more rice. Furthermore, dried rice seeds can be stored for years without the protein losing its effectiveness, and the genetic stability of rice ensures consistent quality. The company’s progress has been rapid. Early versions of their modified rice produced 2.75 grams of HSA per kilogram. Through improved technology, yield (产量) has risen to 30 grams per kilogram, with a goal of over 40 grams. The company now produces one million doses of its rice-made HSA drug each year and a new facility is set to open soon. When completed, it will produce 130 tons of HSA annually, potentially replacing a quarter of China’s HSA imports. The success with rice opens doors for molecular farming using other plants. For example, soybeans are being engineered to produce proteins for making animal-free cheese. 32. What can we learn about HSA from the text? A. It speeds up the recovery of wounds. B. It helps regulate the balance of body fluids. C. It is generated by heart to aid blood circulation. D. It is transported by blood vessels to build body tissues. 33. What does the underlined word “derive” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Obtain B. Demonstrate C.Transform D. Remove 34. What problem does molecular farming help address? A. The safety risk of genetic engineering. B. The decrease of rice production in China. C. The shortage of blood-based HSA supply. D. The rising cost of importing medical drugs. 35. What can be inferred about the Healthgen’s future development? A. It plans to export HSA products abroad. B. It has achieved its target HSA yield from rice. C. It will probably reduce China’s dependence on imported HSA. D. It will shift its focus to producing animal-free cheese with soybeans. 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。 How to Boost Focus for Effective Studying In an era filled with distractions, from phone notifications or social media to noisy classrooms, staying focused while studying has become a major challenge for many students. 36 Here are some tips to help you stay concentrated and make your study time more productive. Initially, create a committed study space. Having a specific area for studying, like a desk in your room or a quiet corner in the library, helps train your brain to associate that space with “work mode”. Ensure this area is well-lit, free of a mess, and has all your necessary materials at hand. 37 Next, use proved techniques to manage your time effectively. A popular time-management method, called Pomodoro Technique, involves working in short, focused bursts followed by short breaks. To put it into practice, start by setting a timer for 25 minutes, called a “Pomodoro”. 38 After that, take a 5-minute break to relax and once you have completed four such Pomodoros, take a longer 15-30 minute break to rest your brain. 39 Many students think they can “save time” by doing multiple things at once, but the fact is far from this. Multitasking actually makes you less efficient and leads to lower-quality work. Our brains aren’t designed to handle multiple tasks at the same time. Instead, focus on one task at a time, and finish it before moving on to the next. Finally, never underestimate (低估) the connection between physical health and mental focus. 40 Getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise are not just good for your body—they are fundamental to maintaining sharp mind. If you’re tired or hungry, it will be much harder to stay concentrated. A. Then, work on the task till the time is up. B. Furthermore, avoid doing several things at a time. C. Focus is closely linked to your overall physical well-being. D. The good news is that it is a skill you can develop with practice. E. Afterwards, set clear and achievable goals for each study period. F. Therefore, it is crucial to keep your study area tidy and well-organized. G. The moment you sit down there, your brain will automatically start to shift into a focused state. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As a woodworking maker in rural UK, I find my story full of unique delights.

During my second year of high school, my family moved to a different city. Getting used to life as a new kid has always been difficult for me, and this move made it more challenging. In my new school, I felt physically and mentally uneasy. Other students had already built friendships, leaving me without a friend. Besides, I found English learning boring and didn’t know what to do during English classes. So, I spent my free time drawing because that was what I usually did when I was alone. I still recall the first day in the school dining hall. While waiting in line for food, I heard a group of students excitedly discussing an upcoming English drama show for freshmen. As I passed by, they glanced at me with surprise. “He looks so small,” someone said in a low voice. My face burned with embarrassment and I lowered my head. Pretending not to hear them, I slipped into the farthest seat available and had my meal alone. In my first English class, I sat at my desk, staring blankly at the book. The letters and words seemed to dance confusingly across the page and laugh at me. Losing interest quickly, I began drawing on the book. A few minutes later, my English teacher, Mr. Frank — a kind man — walked up to me. “Nice drawing,” he said gently. “You know, language is also an art form; it carries its own charm (魅力) and beauty. I believe you could find English attractive if you discover where to begin.” 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Encouraged by his words, I began to change my attitude towards English learning. “Why not draw a poster for the English drama show?” Mr. Frank said to me. 第 1 页 共 10 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
