66. 【答案】
Grow Against All Odds(逆境)
As shown in the picture, a delicate seed forces its way through the rocky soil, striving to grow into a towering tree. This shows that even the weakest life can get through tough barriers.
The scene teaches us that success belongs to those who persist. In my own life, I face obstacles like setbacks and self-doubt. I never give up, striving persistently for my dream, just as the seed does.
Life is a mixture of light and shadow. Whatever challenges come, never hesitate. Grow against all odds(adversity), and you will eventually touch the sky(realise your dream).
努力:strive→endeavor 放弃:give up→abandon 最终:eventually→ultimately
犹豫:hesitate→waver
2.句式拓展
原句:As shown in the picture, a delicate seed forces its way through the rocky soil, striving to grow into a towering tree.
拓展句:As shown in the picture, a delicate seed, which strives to grow into a towering tree, forces its way through the rocky soil.
【点睛】【高分句型1】I never give up, striving persistently for my dream, just as the seed does.(运用了as引导的方式状语从句)
【高分句型2】The scene teaches us that success belongs to those who persist.(运用了that引导的宾语从句以及who引导的定语从句)
67.【答案】One possible version:
Just as he parked it, Mr. Smith walked out. “Sorry, Sir. I...I was the one who rode your bike away without permission.” Jake lowered his head, apologizing in a trembling voice, his face pale with fear and deep guilt. Mr. Smith patted him on the shoulder, asking him to calm down and tell the whole story. Choked with tears, Jake poured all out — his father’s death, his beloved lost bike and his wrong choice driven by helplessness. Mr. Smith listened quietly, his eyes full of sympathy. He didn’t blame Jake at all. Instead, he determined to give him a big surprise.
“Young man, the bike is yours now. Here is the key,” Mr. Smith said gently. Jake lifted his head in shock and refused immediately, saying he had made a big mistake and didn’t deserve such kindness. But Mr. Smith insisted, “Honesty and the courage to correct mistakes matter a lot. Just keep it.” Holding the key tightly in his hand, Jake bowed deeply to express his sincere gratitude. On his ride home, the fresh wind brushed his face softly, filling his heart with warmth, strength and hope. He made a firm resolution that when he grew up, he would pass on this kindness to people in need, just as the warm-hearted man had done for him.
【导语】本文以杰克的自行车为线索展开,讲述了杰克的父亲去世后留下一辆自行车,对他意义非凡。母亲辛苦打三份工供他上学,杰克格外珍惜自行车,却在书店外丢失。他误将史密斯先生的自行车骑走,内心充满愧疚,第二天主动归还并坦白一切,史密斯先生被他的诚实打动,将自行车赠予他,杰克决心传承这份善意的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容可知,第一段写杰克向史密斯先生道歉,坦白自己骑走自行车的缘由,史密斯先生充满同情,没有责备他,还决定给他一个惊喜。
②由第二段首句内容可知,第二段写杰克震惊地拒绝史密斯先生赠予自行车,史密斯先生坚持赠送,杰克深受感动,决心传承这份善意。
2. 续写线索:道歉坦白——诉说缘由——史密斯同情——赠送自行车——杰克拒绝——坚持赠予——杰克感恩——决心传善意
3. 词汇激活
行为类 ①低下头:lower one’s head /drop one’s head/hang one’s head
②抬起头:lift one’s head/raise one’s head
情绪类 ①愧疚:guilt/shame ②震惊:shock/surprise
【点睛】[高分句型1] Choked with tears, Jake poured all out — his father’s death, his beloved lost bike and his wrong choice driven by helplessness.(运用了过去分词作状语)
[高分句型2] He made a firm resolution that when he grew up, he would pass on this kindness to people in need, just as the warm-hearted man had done for him.(运用了that引导同位语从句、when引导时间状语从句以及as引导方式状语从句)
听力原文:
Text 1 偶遇著名运动员
W: You won’t believe who I ran into at the coffee shop—none other than Louis Cooper, the famous basketball legend. He was just sitting there with his friend.
M: No way! Did you go and talk to him?
W: I was too nervous to bother him, but I snapped a quick photo from a distance.
Text 2 看电影
M: We’re going to be late. It’s already 6:55 pm.
W: I know. The movie starts in fifteen minutes sharp. But just relax a bit… There are always a few minutes of ads before the movie begins. We won’t miss anything important.
Text 3 交通方式
M: Mary, haven’t you booked a train ticket for 2:00 pm to London? Shouldn’t you be leaving by now?
W: Yes, but my taxi is running late due to the traffic jam.
M: How about I give you a lift to the nearest subway station?
W: That’s OK. The driver just called to say he’s arriving soon.
Text 4 找邻居拿钥匙
M: Mom, it’s Jake. I’m locked out of the house. I must have left my front door key at school.
W: Oh, dear. I won’t be back for a while. But I left a spare key with Mrs. Green next door. Knock and ask her for it.
Text 5 对嚼口香糖的看法
W: What’s your take on chewing gum? My dentist recommended it as a good way to protect my teeth after eating sugary snacks, but I still think it comes across as rude in public.
M: Hmm… I don’t mind it, as long as people dispose of it properly to protect the environment.
Text 6 新车失控
W: Bill, I heard you bought a new car.
M: Oh, it was a total disaster. I was driving on the motorway, and all of a sudden, the car went out of control and began turning onto the grass beside the motorway. I managed to slow it down and get out of the car just before it crashed into a big tree and suddenly burst into flames.
W: Did you get hurt?
M: Just some small cuts and scratches. It was a miracle.
W: You really had a narrow escape! Sounds like something out of an action movie.
Text 7 少洗牛仔裤
W: Honey, I’m going to do the laundry.
M: Okay. Wait, Claire. My jeans don’t need to be washed yet.
W: You’ve worn them five times already! There are some stains on them.
M: It’s okay. You know, even though jeans are made of cotton, they contain chemicals, like the dye that makes them blue. A single pair of jeans loses around 50,000 microfibers every time it’s washed, which eventually end up flowing into the oceans.
W: All right, Bobby. Just promise me that you won’t wear them to your company dinner at the restaurant tomorrow night, okay?
Text 8 求职面试
W: Mr. Johnson, tell us why you’re the right fit for the job.
M: OK, Mrs. Smith. Since graduating with a degree in computer science, I’ve been devoting myself to software development, working with a variety of programming languages and technologies. I’ve also led several project teams, which has improved my project management abilities, and I have a track record of finishing complex projects on schedule and within budget. I believe these skills make me a strong candidate for this software developer position.
W: It sounds like you have a well-rounded background. Can you give an example of a challenging project you’ve managed?
M: Certainly. One of my key projects involved developing a customer relationship management system from the ground up. It was a challenge due to the tight deadline and the complexity of integrating various data sources. Fortunately, we finished the project successfully and it greatly enhanced the clients’ business efficiency.
Text 9 大学生活
W: John, how is university life going for you? You’ve been there since September, and it’s the end of December now.
M: Oh, it’s been quite an experience. I’m really enjoying it. I’ve made some fantastic friends here.
W: Sounds great. But I can imagine it’s not all plain sailing. Any challenges you’ve had to face?
M: Oh yes. Handling a heavy workload of assignments and exams can be quite stressful. But the most serious problem is financial stress. My part-time job barely covers all my living expenses, so budgeting has been a real struggle.
W: I can totally understand how tough that is. With so much going on, it must be hard to find time for your studies. Is there a library on your campus where you can get some work done?
M: Yes. It’s a quiet and well-equipped place, perfect for me to focus on my schoolwork.
W: Oh, that’s fantastic. Do you have time to relax?
M: Honestly, most of my free time is taken up by my part-time job or studying. I try to catch some relaxation time on the weekend by hanging out with friends or taking a long walk in the park.
Text 10环保志愿项目
M: Good morning, everyone. I’m pleased to see a group of volunteers gather here today. As you know, we have two important projects ahead of us, and your commitment is crucial to their success. Firstly, we’ll be cleaning up a stretch of river in the nearby village, specifically along the scenic Riverside Walk. The area has been neglected for quite some time, and our collective efforts will greatly improve the local environment. Secondly, we have a tree-planting project in the woodland area which was unfortunately damaged by a recent storm. This area, known as Stormwood Forest, has lost a significant number of trees. Planting new trees will not only beautify the landscape but also contribute to the restoration of the local ecosystem, preserving the habitat for wildlife. The river clean-up is scheduled to begin this Saturday. It will last three days. As for the tree planting, we’ll start the following Monday. This project will last three weeks, ensuring we cover the entire damaged area. Your hard work and enthusiasm are invaluable to the success of these projects. Let’s join hands and make a lasting positive difference to our community and environment together.

Having spent a fashionable day in Shoreditch — whether at a gallery opening or a tech start-up, you are desperately in need of decent food to keep going. Fortunately, Shoreditch has a lively food scene and our local insiders have picked their favorite restaurants for you.
Gloria
This local favorite is impossible to miss with its bright, eye-catching wall design on Great Eastern Street. It’s one of the most popular spots for social media influencers. This Italian restaurant serves delicious dishes. Its menu also has fun choices, including creative cocktails and wonderful seasonal specials — don’t miss the 10-level lasagna (烤宽面)! The inside atmosphere feels like a classic Italian eatery, adding to its charm.
Rochelle Canteen
Rochelle Canteen offers a distinctive London dining experience with dinner cooked by famous British chefs in an old repurposed candlelit bike shed (车棚), creating a sense of peace and comfort. Led by Margot Henderson, who is well-known for French House, the restaurant gains great favor, focusing on simple, seasonal ingredients instead of modern trends. The roasted quail (鹌鹑) is a must-try.
Butchies Shoreditch
Butchies Shoreditch started as a food truck in 2013, born from a couple’s dream to make the best fried-chicken sandwich in the city. Since then, it has gained a strong fan base for having “London’s best chicken burger”. The food is simple but delicious: juicy chicken with just the right crunch, paired with a fantastic house sauce.
21. What makes Gloria easy to spot in Shoreditch?
A. Giant restaurant signs. B. Italian architectural style.
C. Striking outside decoration. D. Colorful food display windows.
22. What do we know about Rochelle Canteen?
A. It merely serves instant ingredients.
B. It follows the latest food trends.
C. Its chefs once worked in a bike shed.
D. It presents a calming atmosphere.
23. What do the three restaurants have in common?
A. Long-established. B. Well-received.
C. Modernly-equipped. D. Reasonably-priced.
B
Every fall, billions of birds set off on their long southward journey to overwintering regions. Their journey is extraordinarily dangerous and exhausting. They can be blown off course in bad weather or crash into tall buildings.
The incredible phenomenon of birds’ mass migration tends to escape our attention, as most migrating birds travel at night while we are sound asleep. This nighttime journey offers distinct advantages. They can rely on the stars as they find their way and use the cover of night to hide from natural enemies.
Increasingly, however, urban light pollution poses a threat to migrating birds, misleading their flying direction and causing crashes into buildings. As global light pollution worsens by about 10 percent each year, birds are facing a severe survival crisis. The 2025 American Birds report identified one-third of all native bird species as high or moderate concern.
Unlike other challenging conservation issues, light pollution is one we can all address easily in our own yards — simply by flipping a switch. Cities such as Flagstaff, Arizona, offer a model for communities looking to adopt policies that dramatically reduce artificial light pollution and preserve the night sky. By turning off unnecessary lights, directing light downward and using “warmer” colored lights, we can significantly reduce negative impacts on these migrating birds.
Thanks to weather radar and recent technological advancements, scientists can now track bird migrations in real time and forecast their routes in advance. Drawing on the released migration schedules and routes, each of us can do our part: switch off outdoor lights, gather to observe the night sky, document sightings in detail and upload them to eBird, a free citizen-science platform where your participatory information can aid global bird protection and scientific research.
It’s time to act now and guarantee that future generations can still witness the wonders of bird migration and the beauty of the starry night sky.

In the UK, climate extremes damage fields, with 84% of farmers seeing lower crop output. Labour shortages, rising costs and resource pressure further cloud the outlook of British agriculture.
However, as agricultural problems multiply, creative responses arise. Virtual reality (VR), the same immersive tech usually associated with gamers, is quietly becoming a lifeline for the global food system, helping build future-ready farms.
Farm work mostly involves operating tractors, but this can be stressful for inexperienced workers, given tractors’ large blind spots and narrow, muddy rural roads. One critical application of VR lies in enhancing driving safety through targeted danger training. Traditional training often relies on images and simplified explanations, resulting in a significant safety gap.
The University of Nottingham created a tractor VR danger test using real 360° footage, placing learners in high-risk circumstances, such as hidden cyclists or unexpected sharp turns on rough roads. Trials with over 100 drivers showed this immersive training sharpens danger awareness and reduces accident risks.
VR also trains future vineyard workers without damaging vines (葡萄藤). Wet-day practice exposes living vine cells, allowing diseases to take hold. New Zealand’s MaaraTech Project has developed a system enabling trainees to practise cutting vines indoors or on rainy days. Sensor-equipped scissors guide users in correct cutting force and angle, guaranteeing accuracy rather than mere speed, for neater cuts ensure healthier vines and better grapes. VR training helps new workers gain confidence and enables them to become qualified laborers in a short time.
Besides, Oregon State University’s project offers virtual farm trips via smart devices, while an Indian university uses VR centres for interactive lessons on crop growth, animal care and modern production systems. These projects enrich young people’s understanding of farming. Above all, they give them a head start, sparking their curiosity and contributing to their engagement in agricultural fields — long before they step onto a real farm.
28. Why does the author mention British agriculture?
A. To analyze labor gaps. B. To stress farming crises.
C. To introduce VR’s role. D. To state causes of crop failures.
29. What is the major problem with traditional tractor-driving training?
A. It fails to make blind spots clear. B. It barely offers hands-on instructions.
C. It overlooks the importance of safety rules. D. It can’t fully prepare trainees for real dangers.
30. Which word best describes the performance of the sensor-equipped scissors?
A. Precise. B. Flexible. C. Durable. D. Speedy.
31. In what way do VR farming projects mainly affect the youth based on paragraph 6?
A. Career motivation. B. Skill acquisition.
C. Virtual interaction. D. Farm work efficiency.
D
From smartwatches to single-use devices measuring our heartbeats and blood sugar, the wearable healthcare electronic network enables real-time physiological monitoring, human-computer interaction and timely health support, offering continuous tracking that was once the stuff of science fiction.
While these small wearable monitors seem lightweight and insignificant, researchers from the University of Chicago discovered, after conducting a life-cycle assessment, that they have a surprisingly large environmental cost. A single blood sugar monitor has a 2 kg carbon footprint, equal to driving a gasoline car roughly five miles.
The real challenge lies ahead. These devices are growing inseparable for patients, athletes and the elderly. The study projected that global device consumption will rise 42-fold by 2050, with an annual output of nearly 2 billion units. This is the “butterfly effect” of wearable tech. What starts as a little breakthrough in a lab becomes a flood of annual CO2 emissions, matching those from Chicago’s transport system. Their reliance on harmful chemicals, plastic materials and critical metals accounts for serious environmental damage and growing e-waste.
The study shows over 95% of environmental impact comes from circuit (电路) boards and semiconductors. The use of gold and batteries creates a concentrated pocket of environmental cost. Researchers modeled three targeted solutions. Adopting plastics that can be used repeatedly only cuts warming impact by 1.8% to 2.6%, as circuit boards mainly made of glass fiber, copper and resin are dominant, while using ordinary metals in place of gold cuts impact by 30%. Using pluggable interfaces, patients could reuse the expensive, long-lived internal circuits while only replacing the single-use parts, which could reduce impact per use by up to 62.4%.
The study calls for a systems engineering approach that combines life-cycle assessments and growth forecasts to avoid sustainability crises. With medical wearable devices widely used, this research offers a blueprint for eco-friendly innovation.
32. What fact does paragraph 1 indicate?
A. Medical errors are on the decline.
B. Fictional ideas can be readily applied.
C. Digital devices guarantee physical health.
D. Wearables are reshaping health monitoring.
33. What does the underlined expression “butterfly effect” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Smart inventions, massive convenience.
B. Brief use, negative consequences.
C. Tiny devices, substantial carbon footprint.
D. Multitasking devices, high demand.
34. Why does using recyclable plastics cut warming effect slightly?
A. Plastic has a short service life. B. Plastic accounts for a small share.
C. Plastic affects metal materials. D. Plastic is too expensive to produce.
35. Who is the text mainly intended for?
A. Ecologists. B. Healthcare workers.
C. Tech designers. D. Sci-fi lovers.

Jake lived with his mother in a small apartment in a city of the UK. His father had battled cancer for years and passed away last year, leaving him a bike as a precious memory. For Jake, this bike was not just a means of transport — it was the only way for him to get to school every day, and also a warm reminder of his father.
To support Jake through high school, his mother worked hard, taking on three part-time jobs: cleaning hotel toilets, washing dishes in a restaurant and delivering leaflets around the neighborhood. She came home late every night, tired out, but never complained. Deeply understanding how tough his mother’s life was, he never asked for anything extra and kept studying hard.
One Friday afternoon, Jake locked his bike outside a bookstore and stepped inside. When he came out, the bike was nowhere to be found. He searched the streets crazily, but all his efforts were useless. His heart sank. He was afraid to tell his mother the truth, aware that her tight budget simply couldn’t afford a new bike.
He was wandering aimlessly along the sidewalk when Mr. Smith, a retired teacher, passed by him on a bike. Jake’s eyes widened because the bike looked almost identical to his lost one. He ran after Mr. Smith until he parked his bike at the gate of a big house and went in without locking it. He looked up and down the bike only to find it wasn’t his at all. Overwhelmed by desperation, Jake hesitated for a second, then jumped on the bike and rode home as fast as possible.
His mother didn’t notice anything different. But Jake lay awake all night long, feeling guilty. He knew he had made a terrible mistake, so he made up his mind to return the bike the next morning and buy a second-hand one with his saved lunch money.
The next morning, Jake got up early and rode the bike back to the gate of the big house, his heart pounding with nervousness.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just as he parked it, Mr. Smith walked out.
