A few minutes earlier I was asleep in bed when a 11 woke me up. My nana’s bedroom was just next to my brother’s and mine. A fire had broken out there and awakened her. Hearing her shouting, my elder brother 12 quickly. While I was walking 13 the smoke and darkness, he ran from room to room waking everyone in the house.

The competitions are for the 200-year anniversary (周年纪念日) of the first journey on the Stockton and Darlington railway. This journey, in 1825, is seen as the birth of the modern railway. London North Eastern Railway (LNER) and the National Railway Museum are asking young people to share their wonderful ideas of what the next 200 years of rail would look like. There are some fantastic prizes to be won that you cannot get anywhere else, including a ride in the driver’s cab (驾驶室) of a high-speed train. Design a uniform of the future For those aged 11 and under Design a uniform for someone who works on the railway. For example, this could be for a train manager, a driver, etc. Winner’s prize: A real-life uniform of your winning design made by LNER’s uniform supplier (供应商), and first-class LNER tickets for you and your family. Design a train of the future For ages 12 to 17 This is your chance to design a train for the future. But what makes a great train? The first thing to consider is the outside. Will the train be modern? Don’t forget that the inside of the train is important, too. Where will people sit, store their luggage(行李), go to the toilet, charge (充电) their phones, and where will they get their food and drink? Winner’s prize: A train ride, a driver simulator (模拟器) experience, and first-class LNER tickets for you and your family. How to enter The competitions close on August 31, 2025.

But will we be able to read today’s digital books in hundreds of years? Librarians are worried. Even now, we can’t open some files (文件) from 20 or 25 years ago. Will our digital works be lost in a digital black hole (黑洞)? Will we face the loss of valuable information? Technology is changing fast. Old ways of keeping information are gone now, or they are no longer supported by new technology. For example, many people used floppy discs (软盘) to save files years ago, but today few machines can open them. Also, millions of songs were saved on tapes or CDs, but now most old music players no longer work. Another problem is that websites often change or close down, and all the information on them can fall into the digital black hole. Books, however, are quite easy to keep. We don’t need special tools or technology to read them. If you keep them in a dry and safe place, they will stay safe for a long time. Li Shizhen’s great medical book Ben Cao Gang Mu came out in 1593. Amazingly, three copies from the first printing still survive today. That’s not bad for a book more than 400 years old. For now, when it comes to storing information, printed copies remain a safe way to keep information. However, future technology might develop and provide new ways to solve the problem of the digital black hole. Time will tell. 24.What happens if our digital works fall into a digital black hole? A. They are carefully kept. B. They cannot be understood. C. They cannot be read or reached. D. They are saved in a wrong place. 25.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. How music players are developing. B. How technology is changing over time. C. Why old machines are no longer used today. D. Why technology may cause information loss. 26.Why does the writer mention Ben Cao Gang Mu? A. To discuss why this book is still important. B. To show printed books can last for a long time. C. To explain how easy it is to keep printed books. D. To tell when the earliest printed book came out. 27.What would the writer most probably agree with? A. Libraries should keep more digital books. B. Digital books are less valuable than printed ones. C. Technology will soon solve the problem of the digital black hole. D. Technology is still looking for better ways to keep information. 四、信息还原（每小题1分，共5分） “Don’t try to change me.” 28 For some people, any suggestion of improvement may make them feel uncomfortable. But is there a person in this world who never changes during their whole life? Change is something that is happening to us every day. Our experiences and the problems we face, the people we meet, and the things we watch, read or hear all make us change gradually. 29 30 We don’t trust the things that we know little about because we are not sure about the result they will bring. After years of being stuck in the same habits and patterns of thinking, we may be afraid of breaking the common way we do things. How does one break this cycle? 31 In order for anyone to change, they have to truly want it and make that decision on their own. Once they do, what they need is to find good ways to make an achievement. 32 Think about what can be done differently in the future instead of repeating the mistakes and hoping for a better result. A. We should keep this in mind. B. Perhaps changing makes us nervous. C. We may feel great after changing ourselves. D. Because life is not always staying the same. E. Another common way is to learn from failures. F. It can be done through a decision to change something. G. You surely have heard it in many situations during your life. 五、词汇运用（20分） A. 按要求填写词汇，每空一词（每小题1分，共15分） 33.True (善良) means helping others without ever hoping for anything in return for your good actions. 34.

So far, we have raised 3,000 dollars for the homeless children through (义务性的) work. 37. My sister has r to watch the scary movie with us as she is afraid of ghosts. 38. Don’t make a p you cannot keep, or people will stop trusting you. 39. When the lights went out in the middle of the movie, we r that there was a power cut. 40.

For example, when waiting for my turn in a school game, it was 53 (easy) for me than others to get impatient. When taking an exam, the paper was handed in as soon as I finished. One day, Grandpa took me to a park. There was 54 small house being built. Grandpa pointed to a worker who was building a wall. “Watch 55 (careful) how he builds the wall. He puts one block on top of another, and sometimes stops 56 (check) if the blocks are put in a perfectly straight line. He even cleans off any extra cement (多余的水泥) and pays attention 57 each block,” Grandpa said. But I just thought it was 58 (meaning) for me to repeat unnecessary work. After a while, Grandpa said, “A strong wall needs every block to be put in the right place. Without patience, we’re unable to deal with 59 (something) well in our daily lives. Rushing often leads to bad results.” Hearing Grandpa’s words, I 60 (nod) my head and decided to make a change. Since then, I 61 (keep) this lesson in mind.

And I finally understood that every step leaves its print. 七、阅读表达（第一题1分，第二题2分，第三题3分，共6分） The Mystery Locker Every student at Riverwood School has a locker, but Mia’s locker is special. Not because of the stickers on the door or the bright blue paint inside — it is special because someone keeps leaving small surprises in it. The first gift appeared in September: a tiny paper star with a note, “Hope you smile today.” Mia looked around the hallway, but nobody acted differently. She thought it was a mistake and forgot about it. Two weeks later, she found a bookmark with a drawing of a cat. In October, she discovered a packet of hot chocolate. Each item was simple but thoughtful. Her friends joked that she had a “secret locker friend”. Mia started paying more attention. She noticed that every surprise appeared on days when she seemed stressed or quiet. Someone was watching — but kindly, not in a strange way. Before the winter holidays, Mia decided to leave a note inside her locker door: “To my secret friend, ” After the break, she found a final note waiting for her: “You’re welcome. Sometimes people need a little light.” There was no name, but Mia no longer needed to know.
