But lots of people who’ve been in deep despair have found hope. Telling stories of beating it can encourage and remind struggling people that recovery is possible. Sarah’s Story For years, Sarah struggled with persistent (持续的) sadness and self-doubt. She felt lonely, even in a room full of friends. Her anxiety and depression intensified after the loss of a loved one, leaving her feeling completely hopeless. After months of hesitation, Sarah decided to seek therapy (治疗). Initially, she was doubtful about talking to a stranger, but over time, her doctor helped her understand her emotions and develop managing mechanisms. Jason’s Story Jason, a former athlete, experienced severe depression after a career-ending injury. Losing his identity as an athlete left him feeling lost and worthless. He withdrew from friends and family, spending days alone. A close friend convinced him to join a local support group for people experiencing depression. At first, he was hesitant, but hearing others share similar struggles made him feel less alone. Emily’s Story Emily grew up in a family where mental health was rarely discussed. When she started experiencing depression, she felt ashamed and alone. Turning to her faith, she sought comfort in spirituality. A trusted friend encouraged her to speak to a counselor (顾问) within her faith community. This conversation was life-changing, giving her the courage to seek professional help as well. David’s Story David’s depression worsened after years of persistent stress at work. The burnout left him tired and unmotivated.

He took a leave of absence and focused on self-care.(在工作中经历恐慌发作后，大卫意识到他需要对生活做出重大改变。他请了假，专注于自我照顾)”可知，David在恐慌发作后选择了请假来关注自我护理。故选D。 B In 1986, while in the TSG, Ian was promoted to sergeant (中士). Six years later he entered into the specialism of the Merseyside Dog Section, and was deployed (部署) to multiple high-threat and high-risk deployments. Ian moved to Wiltshire Police in 1998 as the Dog Section Sergeant, and remained in the Dog Section as a serving handler with all types of police dogs in addition to being a deployable handler. Ian took on the additional task of being the force dog trainer while in the ranks of both sergeant and inspector. Throughout Ian’s career in the two forces, he has deployed operationally to thousands of incidents, to numerous aid requests, and to national events and operations. In 2006, after 31 years of service, Ian retired as a police officer and became the dog section trainer, continuing the role he loved so much. In 2014, he took on the role of dog trainer for the Tri-Force Specialist Operations. Ian was instrumental in not only training dog handlers but also the trainers, many of whom train to this day across three police forces. Throughout this time, Ian has been an active member of the National Police Chiefs’ Council working groups surrounding this area of policing. Supt Steve Cox, who recommended Ian for the award, said, “Ian takes great pride that he has passed and continues to pass on his years of knowledge and skills, and nothing gives him more pleasure than seeing his handlers having successful deployments, winning awards at trials, and quite simply watching them develop and improve. Ian devoted 50 years of his life to the police service, 31 years as a police officer, 19 years as a civilian member of staff, and, amazingly, 33 years within the Dog Section specialism.” Ian was honoured with the award at the National Police Dog Trials and is set to begin his well-earned retirement. 4. When did Ian enter into the specialism of the Merseyside Dog Section? A. In 1986. B. In 1992. C. In 1998. D. In 2006. 5. What conclusion can we draw from Supt Steve Cox’s words? A. Ian enjoys seeing his handlers’ progress. B. Ian won many awards in police dog trials. C. Ian will continue working after retirement. D. Ian is ashamed of his work as a dog trainer. 6. Which of the following can best describe Ian? A. Brave and self-centred. B. Strict and noble-minded. C. Patient and kind-hearted. D. Committed and hard-working. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The National Police Dog Trials B. Tri-Force Specialist Operations C. A Dog Handler’s Training Skills D. A Police Officer’s 50-Year Career 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了警犬专家伊恩50年来从事警务及警犬训练工作，培养大量人才并获荣誉表彰的事迹。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。​根据第一段中“In 1986, while in the TSG, Ian was promoted to sergeant (中士). Six years later he entered into the specialism of the Merseyside Dog Section, and was deployed (部署) to multiple high-threat and high-risk deployments.(1986年，在TSG期间，伊恩被提升为中士。六年后，他进入默西塞德郡警犬部门，并被部署到多个高威胁和高风险的部署中)”可知，1986年升任中士，六年后即1992年进入默西塞德郡警犬部门。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。​根据倒数第二段“Supt Steve Cox, who recommended Ian for the award, said, “Ian takes great pride that he has passed and continues to pass on his years of knowledge and skills, and nothing gives him more pleasure than seeing his handlers having successful deployments, winning awards at trials, and quite simply watching them develop and improve. Ian devoted 50 years of his life to the police service, 31 years as a police officer, 19 years as a civilian member of staff, and, amazingly, 33 years within the Dog Section specialism.”(推荐伊恩获奖的警长史蒂夫·考克斯说：“伊恩为自己已经并将继续传承多年的知识和技能而感到非常自豪，没有什么比看到他的训练员成功部署、在审判中获奖，以及简单地看着他们的发展和进步更让他高兴的了。伊恩为警察服务了50年，担任警察31年，担任文职人员19年，令人惊讶的是，在犬科专业工作了33年。”)”可知，伊恩最大的快乐就是看到训导员们取得进步和成功。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文，伊恩在两支警察部队服役，参与数千次任务，退休后仍担任训犬员，50年奉献给警察事业，训练了大量训导员和训练员。所以他是“尽职尽责且勤奋”的人。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。​ 根据前文，再根据最后一段“Ian was honoured with the award at the National Police Dog Trials and is set to begin his well-earned retirement.(伊恩在国家警犬比赛中获得了该奖项，并将开始他应得的退休生活)”可知，全文围绕Ian从1986年到2014年共50年的职业生涯展开，重点讲述他在警犬领域的贡献，所以D项“一位警官的50年职业生涯”适合作本文的标题。 C A new report by the charity End Sexism in Schools (ESIS) has found that women’s stories are largely missing from history lessons in English schools. Their research across 341 schools revealed only 12% of Key Stage 3 history lessons (ages 11-14) focus primarily on women, while 59% include no women at all. The report, called The Great History Heist, found that history lessons mainly focus on four female figures: Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Mary I, and Suffragettes (people who fought for women to be able to vote) Emmeline Pankhurst and Emily Davison. Only 6% of 2023 GCSE history questions focused on women, but 37% were about men. Women of colour are left out too. While 60% of schools teach about Rosa Parks and 46% cover Harriet Tubman, they are Americans. Figures in British history, such as Notting Hill Carnival founder Claudia Jones and Indian suffragette Sophia Duleep Singh are overlooked. The absence of historic women is reflected in wider British culture too. Only 15% of London’s blue plaques (匾) celebrate women, and just one in five statues in the UK are of women. Edinburgh has more statues of animals than women. Kate Mosse, author of Feminist History for Every Day of the Year said, “We need to put all the women and girls whose feats have gone unrecorded back into the history books and into classrooms. Women and men built the world together, and it’s essential that this is reflected.” ESIS says this gap in lessons has serious consequences, because girls can’t see themselves in history and boys miss the chance to develop empathy for women. Debbie Brazil, who runs ESIS, says, “We are teaching a false version of the past.” ESIS recommends that women should feature more often in exams, teacher training materials and education resources. They suggest including women in existing lessons-such as teaching the Norman Conquest through people like Queen Edith and Matilda of Flanders, alongside well-known men, to show that women’s stories are important to history. 8. Which of the following female figures is often taught in British schools? A. Claudia Jones. B. Sophia Duleep Singh. C. Rosa Parks. D. Emmeline Pankhurst. 9. What can be inferred from the data about London’s blue plaques and UK statues? A. Women are equally honoured as men in British culture. B. Most statues in Edinburgh celebrate women’s contributions. C. Historical women are underrepresented in public monuments. D. American women are more frequently honoured than British women. 10. What does the underlined word “feats” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Achievements. B. Problems. C. Activities. D. Works. 11. What consequence does the gap in history lessons bring? A. Boys can’t develop empathy for men. B. Girls fail to find their images in history. C. Students can’t learn about British culture. D. Teachers lack proper training materials. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了英国历史课中女性内容严重缺失的现状及其带来的不良影响，ESIS呼吁增加相关教学比重。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The report, called The Great History Heist, found that history lessons mainly focus on four female figures: Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Mary I, and Suffragettes (people who fought for women to be able to vote) Emmeline Pankhurst and Emily Davison. (这份名为《历史大劫案》的报告发现，英国历史课主要集中讲授四位女性人物：伊丽莎白一世、玛丽一世，以及争取女性选举权的女权主义者埃米琳・潘克赫斯特和艾米莉・戴维森。)”可知，Emmeline Pankhurst是英国学校经常教授的女性人物。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Only 15% of London’s blue plaques celebrate women, and just one in five statues in the UK are of women. Edinburgh has more statues of animals than women. (伦敦的蓝色纪念牌匾中，仅有15%是为纪念女性而设；英国境内的雕像里，也仅有五分之一的原型是女性。爱丁堡的动物雕像数量甚至比女性雕像还要多。)”可知，女性在蓝色牌匾和雕像中占比很低，这说明了历史女性在公共纪念物中的代表性不足。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“We need to put all the women and girls whose feats have gone unrecorded back into the history books and into classrooms. Women and men built the world together, and it’s essential that this is reflected. (我们需要把所有那些feats未被记录的女性和女孩们重新载入历史教科书，并带回课堂。女性和男性共同创造了这个世界，这一点必须在历史中得到体现，这一点至关重要。)”结合上下文强调女性对历史的贡献被忽视，可推知“feats”意为“成就”，与A项“Achievements”同义。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“ESIS says this gap in lessons has serious consequences, because girls can’t see themselves in history and boys miss the chance to develop empathy for women. (ESIS表示，课程中的这一缺失会带来严重的后果，因为女孩无法在历史中看到自己的身影，而男孩则错失了培养对女性同理心的机会。)”可知，历史课程中女性的缺失导致女孩无法在历史中找到自己的形象。 D Listening to music while driving is a common habit for many people. It helps us stay awake, improves our mood, and makes long trips more enjoyable. Over 80% of drivers play music on most journeys, especially younger drivers who find it hard to concentrate without it. Researchers have studied the effects of music on driving for many years in virtual driving environments. They measure things like speed, reaction time, and crash incidents under different music conditions. The results show that music can both help and harm driving performance. Overall, listening to music tends to lead to more simulated (模拟的) crashes, poorer speed control, and less stable following distances compared to driving in silence. However, music can temporarily help tired drivers stay alert on long, dull drives, though this effect fades after 15-25 minutes. Loud or fast-paced music is often thought to be risky, but research shows the picture is more complex. High volume tends to slightly increase speed, while low volume makes people drive more slowly. Fast music does not always make driving worse, but very energetic or aggressive songs can lead to riskier behaviour, especially for young or inexperienced drivers. Music that drivers choose themselves tends to be less distracting (分心的) than music they do not like, as it helps them stay calm and focused. Inexperienced drivers are more easily affected by music. Studies show that when they listen to upbeat or fast music, they are more likely to speed, miss road signs, and react slowly to dangers. In contrast, calm or slow music can help them stay more aware and respond better to dangers on the road. For safer driving, it is best to listen to recognizable songs, at a moderate volume, and avoid very loud or aggressive tracks. New drivers, in particular, may want to lower the volume or even turn off the music in difficult driving conditions. 12. How do most researchers study the effects of music on driving? A. By conducting experiments in driving simulators. B. By analyzing real car crash data involving music. C. By surveying drivers’ personal preferences for music. D. By measuring drivers’ physical health after long trips. 13. Which type of driver should be most cautious about listening to music while driving? A. Drivers who are feeling excited. B. Drivers with little driving experience. C. Drivers who prefer popular music. D. Drivers travelling long distances. 14. What is the safest practice for drivers regarding music? A. Listening to loud music on boring road trips. B. Enjoying fast music to keep the brain active. C. Choosing familiar songs at a medium volume. D. Letting the passengers choose the music to enjoy. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To discourage drivers from listening to music. B. To explore the driving habits between different drivers. C. To criticize young drivers for their bad listening habits. D. To explain how music affects driving and offer advice. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了音乐对驾驶行为的影响，分析不同音乐类型及音量对驾驶安全的作用，并提出安全驾驶的音乐建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。​根据第二段中“Researchers have studied the effects of music on driving for many years in virtual driving environments. They measure things like speed, reaction time, and crash incidents under different music conditions.(研究人员多年来一直在虚拟驾驶环境中研究音乐对驾驶的影响。他们在不同的音乐条件下测量速度、反应时间和碰撞事故等指标)”可知，研究者在虚拟驾驶环境中进行实验来测量驾驶表现。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。​根据第五段中“Inexperienced drivers are more easily affected by music. Studies show that when they listen to upbeat or fast music, they are more likely to speed, miss road signs, and react slowly to dangers.(新手司机更容易受音乐影响。研究表明，当他们听欢快或快节奏音乐时，更可能超速、错过路标、对危险反应迟缓)”可知，缺乏驾驶经验的司机更容易受音乐影响。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。​根据最后一段中“For safer driving, it is best to listen to recognizable songs, at a moderate volume, and avoid very loud or aggressive tracks.(为了更安全的驾驶，最好听熟悉的歌曲，保持适中音量，避免过大或激进的曲目)”可知，最安全的做法是选择熟悉的歌曲并以中等音量播放。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。​文章开篇介绍音乐对驾驶的普遍影响，接着通过研究数据说明音乐如何影响驾驶表现，最后针对不同人群提出安全驾驶的音乐建议，所以本文的目的是解释音乐如何影响驾驶并提供建议。 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。 As an artist who also teaches, I never saw these two roles as separate. ____16____ I believed teaching would keep me close to art, but I didn’t expect how deeply it would reshape me — not just my time, but how I think, see, and create. Through teaching, I’ve become a more grounded and aware artist, and here’s how. First, teaching taught me to explain my work. When I started, I couldn’t just rely on intuition (直觉). I had to slow down and find words for why a piece works. This skill is invaluable, whether writing an artist statement or talking about my process. Teaching trained me to pay attention to what I was actually doing, not just what I thought I was doing. ____17____ Next, teaching keeps me connected to the basics. As I repeatedly teach principles like composition, colour, and contrast, I’m reminded how essential they remain. ____18____ When my own work feels off, I return to these foundations — not rigidly, but to check my structure and ensure I haven’t lost the thread. ____19____ Beginners often create without worrying about rules or reception. Observing this freedom encourages me to step out of my comfort zone, try new things, and avoid becoming too rigid in my methods. Teaching keeps my creativity fresh and prevents me from becoming overly precious with my work. In brief, teaching has become an inseparable part of my art practice. It has sharpened how l communicate, rooted me in fundamentals, and renewed my creative bravery. ____20____ Together, they have made me the artist I am today. A. These roles don’t just overlap; they fuel each other. B. Finally, my students, especially beginners, inspire courage. C. Advanced techniques are more attractive to professional artists. D. Instead, they feel like different parts of the same conversation. E. Therefore, I usually finish my teaching before I start to create art. F. The basics are often ignored, yet they are the true foundation of great art. G. And over time, that made me more confident in how I talk about my work. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. F 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍身兼艺术家与教师双重身份的作者，教学工作从表达能力、艺术基础、创作思维等方面促进自身艺术创作与成长。 【16题详解】 上文“As an artist who also teaches, I never saw these two roles as separate.(作为一名同时从事教学的艺术家，我从不认为这两个身份是相互独立的)”表明作者不认为艺术家和教师两个身份相互割裂，D选项“Instead, they feel like different parts of the same conversation.(相反，它们如同同一场交流的不同部分)”承接上文，进一步阐释两个身份的关联关系。 【17题详解】 上文“Teaching trained me to pay attention to what I was actually doing, not just what I thought I was doing.(教学锻炼我专注自身实际创作行为，而非主观臆想的创作状态)”介绍教学带来的能力提升，G选项“And over time, that made me more confident in how I talk about my work.(久而久之，这让我在阐述自己的作品时更加自信)”承接上文，递进说明这项能力带来的积极影响。 【18题详解】 上文“As I repeatedly teach principles like composition, colour, and contrast, I’m reminded how essential they remain.(我反复讲授构图、色彩、对比等艺术原理，不断意识到这些基础内容至关重要)”强调艺术基础的重要价值，F选项“The basics are often ignored, yet they are the true foundation of great art.(基础知识常常被忽视，却是优秀艺术真正的根基)”承接上文，深化艺术基础的核心作用；下文“When my own work feels off, I return to these foundations(当我的作品状态不佳时，我就回归这些基础)”与选项内容呼应。 【19题详解】 下文“Beginners often create without worrying about rules or reception. Observing this freedom encourages me to step out of my comfort zone, try new things, and avoid becoming too rigid in my methods.(初学者创作时不拘泥于规则和外界评价，这份自由激励我走出舒适区、尝试新事物，避免创作方式僵化)”讲述学生带给作者的创作启发，B选项“Finally, my students, especially beginners, inspire courage.(最后，我的学生，尤其是初学者，给予我勇气)”总领本段内容，贴合前文First、Next的分层论述结构。 【20题详解】 上文“It has sharpened how I communicate, rooted me in fundamentals, and renewed my creative bravery.(教学提升了我的表达能力，让我扎根艺术基础，重塑了我的创作勇气)”总结了教学对艺术创作的多重积极作用，A选项“These roles don’t just overlap; they fuel each other.(这两个身份不仅相互交融，还能彼此赋能)”总结全文，呼应开篇双身份相辅相成的核心观点。 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。 I recently interviewed the highly creative writer James Patterson.

Even now, years later, the feeling of missing her is a constant companion, a quiet undercurrent beneath the rhythms of daily life. One ordinary evening, the simple task of buying groceries for dinner became the setting for an extraordinary moment of connection and comfort, reminding me that love and kindness can appear in the most unexpected forms. I had gone to my local supermarket, my mind preoccupied with thoughts of the upcoming meal. As I stood before the produce section selecting potatoes, a unique shape caught my eye. Resting innocently atop the pile was one potato, perfectly formed like a human heart. In that instant, the boring task faded away. A wave of emotion washed over me, and I was immediately, powerfully reminded of my mother. It felt like a whisper, a small sign in the unlikeliest of places. Deeply moved, I gently picked it up, holding it tightly in my hand as a precious, silent message. After paying for my items, I felt a strong urge to share this discovery. I approached the customer service counter, where a young woman was working. Holding out the heart-shaped potato, I explained, “I lost my mother, and I really needed to find this sign tonight.” Her reaction was one of pure, unguarded warmth. Her face lit up with delight. “A heart-shaped potato!” she cried with genuine wonder, immediately pulling out her phone to take a picture. Then, looking at me with sincere eyes, she asked softly, “Can I hug you? We all need our mums.” That heartfelt offer bridged the gap between strangers. I gladly accepted her hug, feeling a wave of human connection that began to ease the lonely weight of sorrow. 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 I was about to leave, feeling comforted, I heard her call out, “Wait!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding her flowers, I was moved and determined that her kindness should not go unnoticed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just as I was about to leave, feeling comforted, I heard her call out. “Wait!” Turning around, I saw her hurrying towards me, a bunch of fresh pink roses in her hand. “These are for you,” she said, her eyes shining with kindness. “I know it’s not much, but I hope they can bring you a little joy tonight.” Overwhelmed by her unexpected generosity, I accepted the flowers with tears welling up in my eyes. In that moment, I felt my mother’s presence even stronger, as if she were smiling down on me through this kind stranger. Holding her flowers, I was moved and determined that her kindness should not go unnoticed. After leaving the supermarket, I immediately took out my phone and wrote a heartfelt review about the young woman’s thoughtful gesture on the supermarket’s official website. I also called the store’s manager the next day to express my gratitude and share my story. Her simple act of kindness had not only brightened my day but also reminded me that love and compassion can be found in the most ordinary places, connecting us all in the most extraordinary ways. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在母亲去世后，于超市买菜时意外发现心形土豆，被一位年轻女店员温暖对待，最终受到善意感染决定将这份温暖传递出去的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写作者准备离开时被店员叫住，店员赠送鲜花表达关心，作者深受感动，感受到母亲般的温暖。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写作者被打动后决定不让这份善意被埋没，通过写评价、联系经理等方式表达感谢，并感悟到爱与善意存在于平凡之处。 2.续写线索：听到呼唤——收到玫瑰——感动落泪——网上写评——致电表扬——感悟善意 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①转身：turn around/spin round ②匆忙走向：hurry towards/rush toward 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/delight ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】I know it’s not much, but I hope they can bring you a little joy tonight.

But lots of people who’ve been in deep despair have found hope. Telling stories of beating it can encourage and remind struggling people that recovery is possible. Sarah’s Story For years, Sarah struggled with persistent (持续的) sadness and self-doubt. She felt lonely, even in a room full of friends. Her anxiety and depression intensified after the loss of a loved one, leaving her feeling completely hopeless. After months of hesitation, Sarah decided to seek therapy (治疗). Initially, she was doubtful about talking to a stranger, but over time, her doctor helped her understand her emotions and develop managing mechanisms.

Six years later he entered into the specialism of the Merseyside Dog Section, and was deployed (部署) to multiple high-threat and high-risk deployments. Ian moved to Wiltshire Police in 1998 as the Dog Section Sergeant, and remained in the Dog Section as a serving handler with all types of police dogs in addition to being a deployable handler. Ian took on the additional task of being the force dog trainer while in the ranks of both sergeant and inspector. Throughout Ian’s career in the two forces, he has deployed operationally to thousands of incidents, to numerous aid requests, and to national events and operations. In 2006, after 31 years of service, Ian retired as a police officer and became the dog section trainer, continuing the role he loved so much. In 2014, he took on the role of dog trainer for the Tri-Force Specialist Operations. Ian was instrumental in not only training dog handlers but also the trainers, many of whom train to this day across three police forces. Throughout this time, Ian has been an active member of the National Police Chiefs’ Council working groups surrounding this area of policing. Supt Steve Cox, who recommended Ian for the award, said, “Ian takes great pride that he has passed and continues to pass on his years of knowledge and skills, and nothing gives him more pleasure than seeing his handlers having successful deployments, winning awards at trials, and quite simply watching them develop and improve. Ian devoted 50 years of his life to the police service, 31 years as a police officer, 19 years as a civilian member of staff, and, amazingly, 33 years within the Dog Section specialism.” Ian was honoured with the award at the National Police Dog Trials and is set to begin his well-earned retirement. 4. When did Ian enter into the specialism of the Merseyside Dog Section? A. In 1986. B. In 1992. C. In 1998. D. In 2006. 5. What conclusion can we draw from Supt Steve Cox’s words? A. Ian enjoys seeing his handlers’ progress. B. Ian won many awards in police dog trials. C. Ian will continue working after retirement. D. Ian is ashamed of his work as a dog trainer. 6. Which of the following can best describe Ian? A. Brave and self-centred. B. Strict and noble-minded. C. Patient and kind-hearted. D. Committed and hard-working. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The National Police Dog Trials B. Tri-Force Specialist Operations C. A Dog Handler’s Training Skills D. A Police Officer’s 50-Year Career C A new report by the charity End Sexism in Schools (ESIS) has found that women’s stories are largely missing from history lessons in English schools. Their research across 341 schools revealed only 12% of Key Stage 3 history lessons (ages 11-14) focus primarily on women, while 59% include no women at all. The report, called The Great History Heist, found that history lessons mainly focus on four female figures: Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Mary I, and Suffragettes (people who fought for women to be able to vote) Emmeline Pankhurst and Emily Davison. Only 6% of 2023 GCSE history questions focused on women, but 37% were about men. Women of colour are left out too. While 60% of schools teach about Rosa Parks and 46% cover Harriet Tubman, they are Americans. Figures in British history, such as Notting Hill Carnival founder Claudia Jones and Indian suffragette Sophia Duleep Singh are overlooked. The absence of historic women is reflected in wider British culture too. Only 15% of London’s blue plaques (匾) celebrate women, and just one in five statues in the UK are of women. Edinburgh has more statues of animals than women. Kate Mosse, author of Feminist History for Every Day of the Year said, “We need to put all the women and girls whose feats have gone unrecorded back into the history books and into classrooms. Women and men built the world together, and it’s essential that this is reflected.” ESIS says this gap in lessons has serious consequences, because girls can’t see themselves in history and boys miss the chance to develop empathy for women. Debbie Brazil, who runs ESIS, says, “We are teaching a false version of the past.” ESIS recommends that women should feature more often in exams, teacher training materials and education resources. They suggest including women in existing lessons-such as teaching the Norman Conquest through people like Queen Edith and Matilda of Flanders, alongside well-known men, to show that women’s stories are important to history. 8. Which of the following female figures is often taught in British schools? A. Claudia Jones. B. Sophia Duleep Singh. C. Rosa Parks. D. Emmeline Pankhurst. 9. What can be inferred from the data about London’s blue plaques and UK statues? A. Women are equally honoured as men in British culture. B. Most statues in Edinburgh celebrate women’s contributions. C. Historical women are underrepresented in public monuments. D. American women are more frequently honoured than British women. 10. What does the underlined word “feats” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Achievements. B. Problems. C. Activities. D. Works. 11. What consequence does the gap in history lessons bring? A. Boys can’t develop empathy for men. B. Girls fail to find their images in history. C. Students can’t learn about British culture. D. Teachers lack proper training materials. D Listening to music while driving is a common habit for many people. It helps us stay awake, improves our mood, and makes long trips more enjoyable. Over 80% of drivers play music on most journeys, especially younger drivers who find it hard to concentrate without it. Researchers have studied the effects of music on driving for many years in virtual driving environments. They measure things like speed, reaction time, and crash incidents under different music conditions. The results show that music can both help and harm driving performance. Overall, listening to music tends to lead to more simulated (模拟的) crashes, poorer speed control, and less stable following distances compared to driving in silence. However, music can temporarily help tired drivers stay alert on long, dull drives, though this effect fades after 15-25 minutes. Loud or fast-paced music is often thought to be risky, but research shows the picture is more complex. High volume tends to slightly increase speed, while low volume makes people drive more slowly. Fast music does not always make driving worse, but very energetic or aggressive songs can lead to riskier behaviour, especially for young or inexperienced drivers. Music that drivers choose themselves tends to be less distracting (分心的) than music they do not like, as it helps them stay calm and focused. Inexperienced drivers are more easily affected by music. Studies show that when they listen to upbeat or fast music, they are more likely to speed, miss road signs, and react slowly to dangers. In contrast, calm or slow music can help them stay more aware and respond better to dangers on the road. For safer driving, it is best to listen to recognizable songs, at a moderate volume, and avoid very loud or aggressive tracks. New drivers, in particular, may want to lower the volume or even turn off the music in difficult driving conditions. 12. How do most researchers study the effects of music on driving? A. By conducting experiments in driving simulators. B. By analyzing real car crash data involving music. C. By surveying drivers’ personal preferences for music. D. By measuring drivers’ physical health after long trips. 13. Which type of driver should be most cautious about listening to music while driving? A. Drivers who are feeling excited. B. Drivers with little driving experience. C. Drivers who prefer popular music. D. Drivers travelling long distances. 14. What is the safest practice for drivers regarding music? A. Listening to loud music on boring road trips. B. Enjoying fast music to keep the brain active. C. Choosing familiar songs at a medium volume. D. Letting the passengers choose the music to enjoy. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To discourage drivers from listening to music. B. To explore the driving habits between different drivers. C. To criticize young drivers for their bad listening habits. D. To explain how music affects driving and offer advice. 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。 As an artist who also teaches, I never saw these two roles as separate. ____16____ I believed teaching would keep me close to art, but I didn’t expect how deeply it would reshape me — not just my time, but how I think, see, and create. Through teaching, I’ve become a more grounded and aware artist, and here’s how. First, teaching taught me to explain my work. When I started, I couldn’t just rely on intuition (直觉). I had to slow down and find words for why a piece works. This skill is invaluable, whether writing an artist statement or talking about my process. Teaching trained me to pay attention to what I was actually doing, not just what I thought I was doing. ____17____ Next, teaching keeps me connected to the basics. As I repeatedly teach principles like composition, colour, and contrast, I’m reminded how essential they remain. ____18____ When my own work feels off, I return to these foundations — not rigidly, but to check my structure and ensure I haven’t lost the thread. ____19____ Beginners often create without worrying about rules or reception. Observing this freedom encourages me to step out of my comfort zone, try new things, and avoid becoming too rigid in my methods. Teaching keeps my creativity fresh and prevents me from becoming overly precious with my work. In brief, teaching has become an inseparable part of my art practice. It has sharpened how l communicate, rooted me in fundamentals, and renewed my creative bravery. ____20____ Together, they have made me the artist I am today. A. These roles don’t just overlap; they fuel each other. B. Finally, my students, especially beginners, inspire courage. C. Advanced techniques are more attractive to professional artists. D.

Even now, years later, the feeling of missing her is a constant companion, a quiet undercurrent beneath the rhythms of daily life. One ordinary evening, the simple task of buying groceries for dinner became the setting for an extraordinary moment of connection and comfort, reminding me that love and kindness can appear in the most unexpected forms. I had gone to my local supermarket, my mind preoccupied with thoughts of the upcoming meal. As I stood before the produce section selecting potatoes, a unique shape caught my eye. Resting innocently atop the pile was one potato, perfectly formed like a human heart. In that instant, the boring task faded away. A wave of emotion washed over me, and I was immediately, powerfully reminded of my mother. It felt like a whisper, a small sign in the unlikeliest of places. Deeply moved, I gently picked it up, holding it tightly in my hand as a precious, silent message. After paying for my items, I felt a strong urge to share this discovery. I approached the customer service counter, where a young woman was working. Holding out the heart-shaped potato, I explained, “I lost my mother, and I really needed to find this sign tonight.” Her reaction was one of pure, unguarded warmth. Her face lit up with delight. “A heart-shaped potato!” she cried with genuine wonder, immediately pulling out her phone to take a picture. Then, looking at me with sincere eyes, she asked softly, “Can I hug you? We all need our mums.” That heartfelt offer bridged the gap between strangers. I gladly accepted her hug, feeling a wave of human connection that began to ease the lonely weight of sorrow. 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 I was about to leave, feeling comforted, I heard her call out, “Wait!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding her flowers, I was moved and determined that her kindness should not go unnoticed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
